The ODE announcedJan. 13 the conclusion ofa months-long investiga-tion into allegations of“data scrubbing” at thedistricts. The districtswere accused of manipu-lating student atten-dance data possibly toboost district scores onthe Ohio Report Card.
Now the ODE will re-calculate the 2010-11state report cards for sixof the seven districts andhas referred the cases toits office of professionalconduct to decide if anyindividual employees en-gaged in “conduct unbe-
The Ohio Departmentof Education has foundthat seven Ohio schooldistricts, including Cin-cinnati and WintonWoods, improperly re-ported their attendancedata in 2010-11. In the
coming.” The office willinterview anyone whohandled thedata todeter-minewhether the actionswere malicious.
Winton Woods Super-intendentAnthony Smithsaid the school district iscooperating with stateofficials.
“The district has had acorrective action plan inplace since 2012, when itvoluntarily self-reportedsome irregularities inthe district’s data to thestate auditor,” Smithsaid. “This plan is re-vised as necessary, iscontinually monitored,and has introduced newlevels of accountability.
“While we realize the
OhioDepartment of Edu-cation feels it necessaryto recalculate our reportcard, we do not believe itwill change any districtor school rating since thenumber of reported er-rors was minimal. Wewill be following theguidance of the Ohio De-partment of Educationwhilewe continue to self-monitor our reportingpractices as we work to-ward becoming an excel-lent school district.”
Data manipulationcould include a district’sreporting thatapoor-per-forming student hadtransferred to anotherdistrict when he had notto avoid counting his
state test scores.Punishment could
range from no action to aletter of reprimand to alicense revocation.
Investigations nor-mally take 30 days, butODE spokesman JohnCharlton said these couldtake longer.
Misrepresenting at-tendance data is also a vi-olation of Ohio law, theODE said. If the office ofprofessional conductfinds employees’ actionswarrant it, they couldmake a referral for crim-inal charges, althoughCharlton said that is un-likely.
The ODE said 130 stu-dents in Cincinnati and11
students in WintonWoods were improperlywithdrawn.
Cincinnati PublicSchools denies anywrongdoing.
“CPSwelcomes the re-calculation of the reportcard data because ourown investigation indi-cates that the disputeddata ... would have madeno difference in the dis-trict’s overall rating,”the district said in a writ-ten statement.
District officials saythe disagreements aboutthe data were related tothe high rate of studentmobility – studentstransferring from schoolto school – in the district.

Arns said the 19-year-old, who was beingcharged with receivingstolen property, had re-cently been released fromjail on an unrelatedcharge,anddidnotwanttoreturn to jail.
Patton immediatelycalled for help. Arns saidPolice Officer Steve Hoytwas first on the scene andcut the prisoner loose.Other officers respondedtotheradiocall forhelp,aswell.
Arns praised Patton’s
attentiveness and quickresponse.
One of the require-ments to have a tempor-ary holding cell is directvisibility or cameras soyou can observe the pris-oners, he said. The ForestPark cells are behind aglass window, easily visi-ble to the clerk and offi-cers in the main officearea.
Arns said the prisonerwas not injured, did notloseconsciousnessanddidnot require medical atten-tion, although EMTs werebrought in to check him.Theprisonerwasthentak-en to the hospital for psy-chological evaluation.
“It’s not something wesee very often, maybetwice a year,” Arns said.“A lot of people talk aboutit
“The irony of it is thatwe were not going to keephim,”hesaid. “Weplannedto cite him and releasehim. But after the suicideattempt, we had to keephim for evaluation.”

Kimberlee Flamm, ac-tivities director forSpringfield Township saidthe play is recommendedforages11andup.Theeve-ningalsowill includeaper-formance by the Tolongo,African Drumming andDance After School Class-
es.The classes will meet

The Bi-Okoto CulturalInstitute brings Africanculture in an excitingthree-day workshop.Through active participa-tion of movement, music,songs, language anddance, students will devel-op an understanding andappreciation of culturaldifferences and similar-ities. Students learn a tra-ditional and contemporaryAfrican dance with songand rhythm using drumsand shekeres. Studentsregistering should be able
toattendallclassesandthefinal performance.
The play offers a newperspective on the classicstory of the young womanwho helped save France.
The adventure openswith Joan as a young girljust starting to examineher beliefs. As she beginsto understand herself andthe world around her, shelearns to inspire and leadothers.
“Joan the Girl of Arc”will be directed by Play-houseAssociateArtistK.J.Sanchez, who directed theworld premiere of “SevenSpots on the Sun” in the
Thompson ShelterhouseTheatre.
“When I was a younggirl, JoanofArcwasoneofmy first heroes,” Sanchezsaid. “Igrewupbefore ter-rific books like The Hun-ger Games and had no he-roic figuresmyage. To topit off, Joan was a girl, thisyoung girl who changedthe course of the war be-tween France and Eng-land. That she was a realperson, no less, was in-credibly appealing. Hersis a story of courage— thecourage to stand up forwhat she believed in.When all the adults in her
life doubted her, Joan heldtowhatsheknewtobetrueand changed history withher courage.”

NORTH COLLEGE HILL —McAuley High School basket-ball coach Dan Wallace calledit.
Minutes after a 14-pointloss toMasonHighSchool Jan.22, he said, “We need to play agood teamandweneed tohaveeverything clicking in thatgame and we need to get one.As soon as we get one of thosebig wins I’m really excited tosee what this team is going todo.”
Well, his Mohawks got thatbig win Jan. 23 as theyknocked off Girls’ GreaterCatholic League leading Mt.NotreDame63-58 inovertime.
The victory came during astretch where the Mohawksplayed five consecutive roadgames before coming home toplay two teams ranked in thetop five of The Enquirer Divi-sion I area coaches’ poll onback-to-back nights due to asnow day Jan. 21.
Wallace returned to McAu-ley where he was an assistantbefore taking the head-coach-ing position at Colerain. Any-time a new coach takes overand implements his system, a
team is never at full strengthuntil the latter part of the sea-son. This looks to be the casefor the Mohawks as they’vewon six of their last sevengames.
“The girls are starting toplay with a lot of confidenceanddefensivelywe’re startingto sure some things up,” Wal-lace said. “I think we’re get-ting better every day.”
The development of fresh-man Lexi Chrisman has beenvital to what the Mohawkshave accomplished thus far.The 6-foot-1forwardhas start-edall16gamesforWallaceandhas scored in double figures inthree of the last five games af-ter just one double-digit gameover the first 11.
“She just continues to growas a basketball player and shehas a great passion for thegame,” Wallace said. “She’sone of themost coachable kidsI’ve ever had and when you’recoachable like that you canlearn and grow pretty quick-ly.”
Wallace’s new system hasproved vital in the perfor-mances of junior’s Emily Vo-gelpohl and Sydney Lambert.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL —Trust has proved key for theNorth College Hill High SchoolLady Trojans.
After a 2-3 start to the sea-son, coach Nathaniel Snow’ssquad is10-1 since and have vir-tually ensured themselves of aMiami Valley Conference Scar-let Division title. It would betheir first-ever ScarletDivisiontitle since moving from theGray Division in 2013.
“It was just getting them totrust each other and play teamball and play smarter basket-ball instead of relying on theirathletic ability to win games,”Snow said. “The chemistrycame together and the girlsbought in towhat theprogramisall about and we started to winsome games.”
A big reason for the successhas been the addition of fresh-man point guard Victoria Mor-ris. Morris leads the city at 6.4assists per game and ranksthird in the MVC at 18.8 pointsper game. She dropped 30points earlier this season in awin over Woodward and she’sposted double-digit scoring inall 16 games this season.
“She’s so coachable and tal-ented and she bought in,” Snowsaid of his talented point guard.“She keeps working harder andharder. … She had to adjust toplayinghighschoolballwith thegirls being older and stronger,but now she’s adjusted well andis playing great basketball andplaying great basketball in oursystem.”
Morris’ impact would belessened if it weren’t for theplayof seniorD’AjaTurner.Thefour-year varsity player hasbeen a double-double machinethis season with 10 on the sea-son, including a 11 points, 21 re-bound performance in a 59-20win over New Miami Jan. 22.Her play on the court is special,butwhatshedoesfromaleader-ship standpoint is just as impor-tant to her teammates and hercoach.
“Shestartedbeingamorevo-cal leader and setting the exam-ple,” Snow said of his team cap-tain. “She’s so athletic for hersize, she creates such a mis-match. She’s more athletic thanany post player she’s seen thisyear. I call her the ‘King of theBoards’ because she’s so fastand she gets to the rim soquick.”
The 12-4 record and the po-tential MVC title means theworld for Turner as she reflectson where she was four shortyears ago.
“It means a lot because I re-member my freshman yearwhen I was the underdog,” she
said. “…Now it feels great to bethe captain of the team, finally,and leading the team and we’rehaving a great season so far so Iwant to keep it up and do greatin the tournament,workhard asa team and go straight to state.”
Turner is oneof sixLadyTro-jans who average more thanthree rebounds per game. As ateam they pull down an averageof nearly 46 boards a game,something Snow attributes tothe way all his girls attack therim.
“When a shot goes up every-body has to crash the boards,”

MT. HEALTHY —To talkabout what is or whatcould be: That is the ques-tion.
While the MountHealthy High Schoolboys basketball team is8-5 (as of Jan. 23) and insecondplace in theSouth-west Ohio Conference,what could be is a ques-tion coach J.J. Clarkthinks about often.
“Every game exceptthe Moeller game, we’vebeen in it right to themid-dle of the fourth quarterand things have just notgone our way,” he said.
Outside of a 30-pointloss to the Crusaders, theOwls had leads going tothe fourth quarteragainst Amelia and West-ernHills, trailedbyoneatthe half to conference-leading Wilmington andwere down just one pointtoColerainwith threeanda half minutes to go be-fore losing by double dig-its.
At the same time theOwls have won eight or
more games for just thethird time in seven sea-sons and are still alive fora share of the conferencetitle as theOwls face a re-match with HurricanesJan. 31.
Much of that successhas todowithexperience.After starting three soph-omores and a freshmanlast season, Clark boastseight seniorsonhis rosterproviding the senior lead-ership not present duringlast season’s 4-19 esca-pade.
“It’s huge,” Clark saidof the leadership. “Theseniors we do have, mostof them are playing sig-nificant minutes, and theones who aren’t are stillproviding good leader-ship in practice andthey’re starting to getmore minutes and playbetter.”
Andrew Wilfong is asenior with a lot of poten-tial. In his first varsitygame during his sopho-more season, he had 26points and 11 rebounds inawinoverGlenEste.Thisseason he’s second on theteam with 9.3 points per
game while pulling down3.8 rebounds.
“He’s learning how toplay the game and whathe needs to do,” Clarksaid, who is in his thirdseason at Mt. Healthy.“He’s starting to comealong and his points arereally starting to come onlately.”
Kenneth Glenn is aplayer Clark sees start-ing to come into his role.At 6.1 points and 3.9 re-bounds a game, expectthose numbers to go upover the remainder of hissenior season.
“He’s the one guy wehave that can consistent-ly play above the rim,”Clark said. “He dunks itvery easily, he gets hisbody in it and he’s quick,
so he’s the one guy thatreally should pick it up.”
The emergence of ju-nior point guard KennethEnglish has provided theOwlswith a burst of ener-gy welcome on any team.English is averaging 9.0points, 3.5 assists and aleague-leading 4.6 stealsper game.
“He’s made differ-ence,” Clark said. “He’sreally driving a lot of thestuff we’re doing. I thinkhe’s really starting to un-derstand what I need himto do. … I never have toask him to play hard andhewants towin. I thinkhewants to win more than Ido.”
Clark is going to needthe best from all of hisguys over the finalmonth
of the season as the Owlsstill have to play SWOC-and neighborhood-rivalNorthwest twice, alongwith the top-ranked Divi-sion II team in Ohio inRoger Bacon and theaforementioned Hurri-canes.
“The main thing in allof those games, and I tellour guys this, we have tofocus on what we do wellmore than what (our op-ponents) do well,” Clarksaid. “We have to dothings that we need to dotowingames.…Ourguysare starting to get confi-dence, and if you’ve beenaround this game longenough, you know confi-dence is the No. 1 thingthat you can have.”

The backcourt duo isaveraging a combined27.6 points, 9.4 re-bounds, 6.3 assists and5.8 steals this season.While Lambertdropped 24 in the winover Mt. Notre Dame,it’s Vogelpohl wholeads the Mohawkswith 14.7 points pergame and 15 double-digit scoring outputsthis season.
“She’s played with alot of energy and she’spracticed hard everyday,” Wallace said ofVogelpohl. “I think theharder she practices,themoregame-likeherpractices are, the bet-ter she’s going to be inthe game. … Her workethic and her personaldrive and her bringingthat to practice hasreally helped her.”
The Mohawks haveplayed six teamsranked in the top 10 ofThe Enquirer DivisionI poll. That schedulewill likely allow theMohawks to have asense of calm come thepostseason, but willWallace’s premonitionof his team taking offafter a big win cometrue in the long run?
“This group listens,they play hard, theyplay together,” thecoach said. “Aswe con-tinue tomold as a teamwith ourpersonalities Ithink it’s going to bereally interesting towatch this team growover the rest of the sea-son. … I’m excited tosee how this seasonends up and I think thefuture is bright.”
McAuleyContinued from Page A6
the coach said. “It’s keybecause it limits one shot
per possession and itgives us a second or thirdchance if we miss.”
This “blue-collarteam,” as Snow calledthem, hasn’t won a post-season since 2011 and he
believes if they keep do-ing what they have beenover the last 11 games,that won’t be an issue.
“Weneed tocontinue totrust one another. Weneed to keep believing in
the system, fighting anddo the things that got ushere so far. … I have 12girls who are workingtheir hardest to do theirbestandthat’sall I canaskfor as a coach.”

Kasich not a good rolemodel for student
Thecover of the Jan. 22Hill-top Press (22 January 2014) ispoignant for the story it ne-glects to tell.
Seen out of context, we havea young man proud to have re-ceived inspiration from theOhio governor. And besidethat, a picture of residents ofSpringfield Township whobristle at the prospect of a newtax (JEDZ).
When one connects the dots,there is a cruel irony in thesetwo stories being companions.Our governor’s fiscal policiesof cutting taxes for the richandfor corporations are causingsuffering at the local level.Townships have been starvedof funds by the repeal of the es-tate tax.
Corporations enjoy in Ohioamong the lowest tax rates inthe country, and the wealthiestcan pass along their estates,while the people find theircommunity centers, seniorcenters, schools, police andfire departments being elimi-
nated, downsized, or com-bined, and local governmentsscrambling for new ways togenerate revenue; meanwhilethe governor magnanimouslysigns his book for an innocentyoung man who understandsnothing of this.
I think this youngman couldfind a better role model.
Karen ArnettMount Healthy
JEDZ puts townshipon equal footing
Taxation without represen-tation please, where have youfolks been? When is the lasttime you got to vote for a citycouncil member while livingoutside the city limits and pay-ing taxes to Hamilton County?Never!
I want to weigh in with mysupport of the proposed JointEconomic Development Zone(earnings tax) SpringfieldTownship has put on the Mayballot. I have been working fora large aerospace manufactur-ing company in Blue Ash Ohiofor 37 years. In that time the
city of Blue Ash has extractedabout $1,000 every year frommy pay checks (do the math).Frankly it sickensme to pay allthat money because they are acity that has everything theycould possibly need.
As the state of Ohio con-tinues to reduce its responsi-bilities to our home towns, thetrustees of Springfield Town-ship are desperately trying tomake ends meet and continueto provide basic services to theresidences and, yes, the finebusinesses within the town-ship.
Mystreetwhere Ihave livedfor 30-plus years needs repav-ing thatwe can’t afford, but yetI’mpaying$1,000ayear toBlueAsh as they now plan to buildyet another fabulous business/entertainment/park at the oldBlue Ash airport.
I know we desperately needthis new tax revenue and I to-tally support the effort. It’stime we joined what so manyother communities have donefor years. I verymuch appreci-ate all the cost cutting that has
been done while trying to keepthis aviableandsafecommuni-ty with what little money thereis left to work with.
You can argue and protestall you want about why it isn’tfair for a township to tax busi-ness and outsideworkers, but alot of us have been paying tax-es to the places where weworkand getting little benefit fromit for years.
Doyou ownabusiness here?Do you make you’re livinghere? Then it’s time to do your
part to help keep SpringfieldTownship from turning into aplace that nobodywants to owna business in, shop in, work inor even choose to live in. Some-times you just have to do theright thing and in my opinionthat means it’s time to supportthis and those of you livinghere, get a sign for your yardthis spring and get out and voteto ensure our community’s sur-vival.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Jan. 22 questionAre you worried about ter-
rorist attacks at the 2014WinterOlympics in Sochi, Russia? Whyor why not?
“I amalwaysworried aboutterrorist attacks. It is a shamethat an event like the Olym-pics can’t go on without thisfear.
“I am pretty sure that theathleteswill beprotectedbut I
am not so sure about the gen-eral public. One other thing, Iknow our president doesn’t al-low it but I call them Islamist
terrorists, these are not thelittle sisters of the poor.”

It wasn’t a particularlymemorable speech. Except forone line: “This administrationtoday, here and now, declareswar on poverty in America.”That “war on poverty” wouldtake the form of passage, by aheavily Democratic Congress,of several pieces of legislationwith which we live to this day.
It seems that after half acentury, reviewing the effec-tiveness, or lack thereof, of theWar on Poverty, is long over-due. So here goes.
LBJ’s solution to povertywas more and bigger govern-ment. New (and expensive)programs like Job Corps, FoodStamps, Medicaid, the LegalServices Corporation and HeadStart, to name but a few, col-lectively became known asLBJ’s “Great Society.” In manyways, it built upon and expand-ed President Franklin DelanoRoosevelt’s NewDeal pro-grams which were aimed atbringing America out of theGreat Depression. (Many ar-gue that those NewDeal pro-grams, even though they cost alot, didn’t ultimately end theGreat Depression – WorldWarII did.)
So how effective has LBJ’sWar on Poverty been over thelast 50 years? Unfortunately,not very effective. The povertyrate in America is virtually thesame now as it was back in1964 when LBJ declared theWar on Poverty. And that’safter the expenditure of $20.7trillion (with a “T”) of yourhard-earned tax dollars onanti-poverty programs.
In fact, arguably much ofthe money has been counter-productive, causing more harm
than good. Forexample, inorder for afamily to re-ceive welfarepayments, anemployedadult malecould not beliving in ahome with thechildren. This
discouraged marriage andtwo-parent families
Back in 1963, before thestart of theWar on Poverty,only 6 percent of children inAmerica were born out of wed-lock. Today, that figure hasskyrocketed to 41 percent. Thegovernment, in effect, becamethe father in the household;rather than a wage-earning,role model, adult male. Thislack of a father in the home hasled to a wide array of socialproblems, from poor atten-dance and behavior at school,to trouble with the law, to highrates of incarceration.
Unfortunately, rather thanutilize these programs to be-come self-sufficient, and thusnot need government assis-tance, far too many peoplehave become dependent uponthe government’s help, for life.And the family structure, par-ticularly in many lower incomeneighborhoods, has been deci-mated, often as a direct resultof the requirements to receiveaid in the first place.
I would submit that we’d bea lot better off if that $20.7trillion spent over the yearswould have remained in thepockets of the hard-workingtaxpayers of this nation, tosave or spend as they saw fit,to spur economic growth, andcreate more jobs for morepeople. After all, it’s been saidthat the best anti-poverty pro-gram, is a job.

It was cold as ice. The tem-perature, with wind chill wasneighboring to a near minus26 below zero as I awoke on arecent, cold, January morning.
Actually,the phrase,“Cold As Ice,”was a hit songin 1977 foryouWednes-day nighttrivia buffs atWoodlawn’sPike’s Bar &Grill. Thesong was bythe British
American rock band, For-eigner…not about Cincinnatiweather…just some “cool”girl.
My first clue to my real-ization that it was a frigidmorning: both of our labs andour cat, George, were curledup in sort of a group hug in themiddle of the old comfortcovered bed between thesnugged bodies of my wifeandme. From a ceiling view, Ican only imagine our bedlooking like puzzle blocks,forming locked intersectionsof shapes.
Since schools were forcedto close (myself a substituteteacher), I was in no rush toleave my warm cocoon. Butmy wife had to go to work andthat meant I would be dealing
with the reality of getting thedogs outside for what wasgoing to be a nippymorningwalk.
I have long ago become aMurphy’s Law believer andhave accepted the reality ofits miserable predictions.Many of my best stories comefrom the law’s notion that “ifanything can go wrong, itwill.” Stepping out of the frontdoor, not only did the realismof the minus 26, “cold as ice”air hit home, but also the sightof a flat tire on my wife’s carregistered in my frozen brain.
Now, I will fast forwardbeyondmy tire changingfrostbitten fingers, to dealingwith the problems that life canthrow at you. When I was a kidgrowing up, one of the biggestgifts my dad shared with mewas the ability to solve prob-lems. He was a master at find-ing and locating the resourcesabout an issue he faced. Yes,at times became frustrated,but he always had a plan ofattack that kept him on a posi-tive course.
Of course, some life prob-lems aren’t solved in a fewminutes or hours…even takean individual an entire life-time. Whether you believe inMurphy’s Law or not, we allwill continue to face prob-lems. Whether it is financialmatters, health concerns,
work-related disputes, orrelational issues, problemstend to be ever present. Wetend to conclude that peoplewith money or great successhave fewer problems, but isan incorrect conclusion. Whatmakes them seem productiveor happy in life is their abilityto successfully solve prob-lems.
Emerson’s approach to thereality of facing life’s prob-lems is nothing short of greatresilience: “Life is an experi-ment. The more experimentsyoumake the better.” – RalphWaldo Emerson
In the end, when facingproblems, you need a gameplan. Think of it as a footballteam; play the “down” (try astrategy) then come back tothe huddle and talk it over. Didit work? Should we changesomething? The discussions inthe huddles can get creative.
Maybe bring in the “specialteams,” but continue until theproblem is solved, a touch-down achieved! Then, cele-brate your victory for themoment, before the opposingteam (life), comes up with anew challenge for you to face!

1⁄2 cup chili sauce3⁄4 to 1 cup catsup1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, mincedHorseradish to tasteWorcestershire, Tabasco andlemon to taste
Even easier: Just mixchili sauce and catsup totaste
Horseradish sauceNo real recipe here
but I stir grated horse-radish into whippedcream. Or just buy horse-radish sauce and use that.Sometimes I put asqueeze of lime into thesauce.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice waterin frig. and drain.
Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish aboutit, ask to have them de-veined before you pur-chase.

Sausage-stuffedjalapenos
I have to admit, theseare addictive. I’vechanged the originalrecipe a bit. Be carefulwhen seeding hot pep-pers. Use gloves. Youcould use a sweeter pep-per if you like.
1pound favorite pork orturkey sausage
8 oz. cream cheese, softened1 cup shredded Romano orParmesan cheese
1 pound large fresh jalapeñopeppers, halvedlengthwise and seeded
Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl andmix withcheeses. Spoon mixture
into each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan. Bake20 minutes or until bub-bly and lightly golden.
Carol’s vegetariangoetta
When I asked for read-ers to share goetta reci-pes, one of the first Ireceived was from read-er Julie B. Julie sharesher mom’s vegetariangoetta recipe. Here’swhat Julie says: “I haveto share mymom’s vege-tarian goetta recipe. Shehas been making tradi-tional slow cooker goettafor years and then decid-ed she needed an optionfor her many vegetariangrandchildren. It is deli-cious, spicy and flavor-
ful! I hope you decide toshare it.” Well, Julie, thisdoes look so good and,yes, I’m happy to shareyourMom’s vegetariangoetta.
11⁄2 cups pinhead oats3 cups warm vegetablebroth
1⁄4 cup olive oil1medium chopped onion5 cloves minced garlic15 ounce can black beans,drained
2 teaspoons dried thyme1-2 teaspoons cumin (Julielikes 2)
1⁄2 teaspoon red pepperflakes
1 teaspoon salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground blackpepper
Combine everything inslow cooker. Cook on high
for about two hours, cov-ered. Transfer to sprayedloaf pan, cover and coolovernight. When ready tocook, heat canola oil inskillet and add slicedgoetta. Cook on each sideabout five minutes untilgolden brown. (Carolsays you really need thecanola oil, as the goettawill be very dry since itcontains no fat frommeat).

News that both Targetand NiemanMarcusstores are the latest tohave had their computershacked has made a lotconsumers nervous – andrightly so. The big thingto be concerned about isthe use of debit cards atthese retailers.
Credit card chargesare sent to you in state-ments each month allow-ing you to review thembefore you pay. Debitcard charges come rightout of your bank account,so if someone steals yourdebit card informationthey can empty all themoney from your account
before youbecomeaware.Then,you’ve gotto notifyyour bankand try toget yourmoneyback,which can
take several days. In themeantime, you could beleft unable to pay yourbills. So, if you believeyou’re affected by this, Irecommend you cancelyour debit card and get anew number.
Target is now offering
affected customers oneyear free credit monitor-ing, but emails from theretailer are creatingproblems of their own.One area woman re-ceived what appears tobe a legitimate emailfrom Target. It containslinks so she can sign upfor the credit monitoring.However, she tells meshe’s never given Targether email address so shehas serious questionsabout the email’s authen-ticity.
I agree, there are realquestions about thatemail so I suggested shenot click on any of the
enclosed links. Rather,she can go directly toTarget’s website and getthe information abouthow and where to sign up.
Target also says shop-per’s personal informa-tion appears to have beenstolen and that meansthere could be attemptsat identity theft. That’swhy credit monitoring isso important. You canalso sign up for free cred-it monitoring with CreditKarma. It also providesyour credit report, in-cluding credit score, forfree. You can sign up atwww.creditkarma.com.
If your personal in-
formation has been sto-len, and thieves opencharge accounts in yourname, they can be verydifficult to resolve. Thebest thing to do is contactyour state attorney gen-eral. In Ohio, the attorneygeneral set up a specialIdentity Theft unit thathandled 578 such cases in2013.
Incidentally, the num-ber of phony emails outthere appears to get larg-er by the week. One ofthe newest to watch outfor appears to come fromyour utility company. Itclaims you haven’t paidyour bill and demands
immediate payment. Atthe top of the bill are theletters PG&E, not DukeEnergy
These emails are be-ing sent all over the coun-try prompting PacificGas and Electric to say itis investigating. If youget one of these emailsjust delete it withoutclicking on any links orattachments.

At Legacies UpscaleResale, 2013 was one forthe record books.
The finehomefurnish-ings consignment shop inHydeParkPlaza,which isoperated for the sole ben-efit of Cancer SupportCommunity Greater Cin-cinnati-Northern Ken-tucky, presented CSC acheck for $204,353.94,representing 100 percentof the net profit the storemade during the year.The contribution was thelargest Legacies hasmade since its foundingin1994andwas16percentmore than the previousyear.
“The tag line sums itup in four words: FindingTreasures. FundingHope,” Legacies generalmanager Laura Beverlysaid. “Everything we dohere is about providingconsignors, donors andshoppers with an unsur-passed experience buy-
ing and selling truly one-of-a-kind finds at a greatvalue, all sowecangener-ate a significant profit tohelp fund the free pro-grams of support, educa-tion, and hope at CancerSupport Community.”
The contribution is in-deed significant. Eachyear, CSCcounts onLega-cies to provide approxi-mately 25 percent of thenon-profit’s operatingbudget, which is entirelyprivately funded throughcontributions and fundraisers.
“We provide nearly250programseachmonthat ten sites around theTristate for people withcancer, their families andfriends, andcancersurvi-vors,” Betty Cookendor-fer, CSC’s director of de-velopment, said. “Ourprograms are always 100percent free of chargefor participants to attend,but of course they are not
without cost to offer, sohaving this significant fi-nancial support fromLegacies is so valued.”
A key part of thestore’s profitability is thefact that it is primarilystaffed by volunteers.
“We have the finestgroup of volunteers youcould ask for,” AnneArenstein, Legacies vol-unteer coordinator, said.“Our volunteers are verymotivated by the missionof helping people in thecommunity who are fac-ing cancer, and they doeverything they can tomake Legacies UpscaleResale a place that buy-ers and sellers will wantto return to again andagain.”
According to Aren-stein, new volunteers arealways needed as thestore continues to grow.For more information,call 513-871-8899 or [email protected].

Sometimes ser-endipity just happens.
One Saturday in earlyAugust, Scott O’Shaugh-nessy,managerof theBobEvans restaurant in Shar-onville, noticed the shirtof a woman sitting at oneof his tables. It said Fin-neytownsoccer.Hedecid-ed to introduce himself.O’Shaughnessy was soonto be the manager of BobEvans’ new restaurant inFinneytown, which wasopening in late Septem-ber, and he wanted tospread the word.
His customer wasSherry Kelley Marshall.NotonlywassheaFinney-town resident, with a sonwho had just graduatedfrom Finneytown HighSchool, shewasalsopresi-dent/CEO of the South-west Ohio Region Invest-ment Board. Her job in-volves meeting ownersand managers of new orexpanding businesses,and connecting them toresources that will helpthem in hiring.
That’s exactly whathappened. O’Shaughnes-sy passed Marshall’s con-tact information to ScottAtkins, corporate hiringmanager for Bob Evans.
“In a matter of days,Sherryhad introducedmeto the SuperJobs Centerand the principal of Fin-neytownHigh School. Ev-
eryone in the communitywas so helpful, it was anabsolute joy to be in thecommunity,” Atkins said.
The Business Servicesteam at SuperJobs – theone-stop job center forCincinnati and HamiltonCounty – helped to spreadthe word about the threehiring events Bob Evanswas planning before itsopening Sept. 30.
“I was excited aboutthe number of people Su-perJobs directed to us,”Atkins said. About 400candidates applied forjobs at the restaurant. Ap-proximately 80 werehired, with perhaps 15-20coming from SuperJobsreferrals, he said.
Marshall also connect-ed Bob Evans to anothersource of candidates – aprogram at FinneytownHigh School called Jobsfor Cincinnati Graduates.JCG, which is part of theCincinnati Youth Collabo-rative, is partly fundedthroughtheWorkforceIn-vestment Act, and is con-tracted to the SWORWIBtoprovidecareerandedu-cational services to highschool students in Cincin-nati andHamiltonCounty.JCG frequently helps itsstudents find jobs.
“We always want tohave kids from the com-munity working at BobEvans,” Atkins said.
“Down the road, theygrowwithBobEvans.”Hecontacted CarmenGaines, the JCG Special-ist at Finneytown. Thestore’s hiring eventsstarted a week beforeschool began, so therewere logistics to figureout.
“Sure enough, duringour last hiring event,droves of high school stu-dents came in,” Atkinssaid.
Added O’Shaughnessy:“We really felt the JCGkids were an impressivegroup. Theywere all veryprofessional, eager andhave turned out to begreat employees. They allwent through a tough
training schedule, and allhung in there like troup-ers!”
JCG students JaylahHowell, Panor Parker,Kevin Walker and HaleyHatfield nowwork at BobEvans Finneytown. Theywork approximately 18hours aweek, after schooland on weekends, whilebalancing a full load ofclassesandextra-curricu-lar activities.
“I think they are busierthan I am,” O’Shaughnes-sy said. “They bring suchenergy and excitementwith them. Most havegreat future plans thatweare proud to help with.”
Bob Evans restaurantsbelieve in giving back to
the community. When anew restaurant opens, itholds several practicesessions. People are invit-ed to come in and order athalf price. Money raisedduring the practice mealsis donated to local non-profit organizations.
In Finneytown, benefi-ciaries included Finney-town High School’s AfterProm, which providespost-prom social and rec-reational activities be-tween midnight and 5a.m., and also offers asafe, non-drinking envi-ronment for students.Whitaker Elementary, St.Xavier High School, andClovernook Center forBlind and Visually Im-
paired also benefitedfrom the Bob Evans’ pro-gram. “Funds are raiseddoing what we do best,serving our guests greatfood with smiling faces,”O’Shaughnessy said.
