The city of Montgomery isworking on turning the vacantlots at the southern entranceof the city into a mixed use de-velopment.

City Manager Wayne Davissaid the city has broken itswork plan into five sections.

“The first section is our out-reach to stake holders. We metwith various key decisionmakers throughout the countyand state,” Davis said, sayingthe city has spoken with itsstate representatives aboutopportunities that exist forpartnership for the GatewayRedevelopment Area withpreferred developer GatewayPartners LLC.

After sorting through 13proposals for developments atthe old Ford and Chevy dealer-ship sites, the city chose Gate-way Partners LLC, which ismade up of Great Traditions,Brandicorp, Greiwe Group,North American Propertiesand Sibcy-Cline.

The plan is for a mixed usedevelopment with condos andtown homes ranging in pricefrom $500,000 to $1million, of-fice space with a parking

structure and restaurant andretail space. The plan also hasroom for a boutique hotel or apark.

“A lot of work has not bedone on site planning. There isareason behind that and that isbecause we are not ready atthis point and time to addressthose concerns. But we have alist of 13 different tasks thatwill carry us into November,”Davis said.

Davis said the project’soriginal target dates of con-struction starting in late 2016or early 2017 is likely to bepushed back.

COLLECTION TIME

The zombie baby Jesus fig-ure from the world famous zom-bie nativity in Sycamore Town-ship is going up on the auctionblock during this year’s Horror-hound Convention.

The nativity is now part of“horror history” because it’sbeen on the news more than anyother horror item, nativity cre-ator Jasen Dixon said.

“So people wanting to buy apiece of history, we’re going toauction off baby Jesus,” he said.The convention is March 18-20at the Sharonville ConventionCenter. Money raised from thesale will be used to make im-provements to the 2016 nativity.Details about the auction will beavailable on the Zombie Nativ-ity Scene Facebook page.

Yes, Dixon is already mak-ing plans for improvements forhis 2016 zombie nativity exhib-it. The future of the nativitywas in question over recentweeks as Dixon battled Syca-more Township and the crimi-nal charges brought againsthim for the 2015 nativity. Thetownship dropped its chargesagainst Dixon Feb. 16.

Dixon faced $13,500 in finesfrom the township, which is-sued 27 citations in December.The charges stemmed fromzoning rules that the townshipmaintained were violated by thelocation and size of the 2015 na-tivity structure.

The first nativity, put up in2014, faced similar challengesfrom the township because Dix-on said that he did not seek apermit before erecting his Na-tivity. Charges never resulted.This year, Dixon and his wife,Amanda, hoping to avoid a simi-lar situation, requested a per-mit. After filing his application,he erected the nativity only toreceive notice a few days laterthat his permit was denied andthat his nativity was in viola-tion.

“When we initially got theletter that we were in violation,it was just confusing, at least inmy mind,” Amanda Dixon said.“There were no zoning rules toviolate.”

The couple researched zon-ing regulations prior to submit-ting their permit request andcould find no guidelines prohib-iting their Nativity structure,she said. Because of this theywere surprised when the town-ship served a notice that the Na-tivity had to come down. Appar-ently it exceeded a height limi-tation.

At this point, Amanda Dixonsaid, she felt that the townshipwas hounding them. Jasen Dix-on removed the roof from hisstructure greatly reducing itsheight in an effort meet thetownship’s request. The Dixonsalso secured the services of at-torney J. Robert Linneman.

BRIEFLY

When the nativityfirst went up in 2014, itwas just for fun. Thefamily enjoys horrormovies, haunted housesand the “Walking Dead,”Amanda Dixon said.

“We did it as enter-tainment,” she said. “It’smore now. It’s for peoplestanding up for whatthey believe in; for ourrights as Americans.”

Jasen Dixon said heexpected to win the case.He wasn’t surprisedwhen the townshipdropped its charges.Overall, he said, he kindof “got a kick out of courtand the zombie protests.”

“I gave them whatthey wanted,” Dixon saidof the township. “They’rea bunch of clowns and Igave them a circus.”

Is the legal actionover? Dixon said maybenot. His attorney is look-ing into the next steps.He would not elaborate.

Sycamore TownshipAdministrator GregBickford said the reasonthe township droppedthe charges was really avalue decision.

“It’s down, it’s beenabated, so the cost to con-tinue prosecution versusthe potential windfallfrom fines just didn’tmake it worthwhile topursue,” he said.

As for next year, Bick-ford said the townshipwould cross that bridgewhen it gets here. If astructure like what wasbuilt in 2015 is construct-ed again, then the samething will likely happen.“You can’t put a struc-ture up like that,” he said.“If he just puts the zom-bies up like he did afterhe made the thing com-pliant, we won’t do any-thing because certainthings you can do. It’s aquestion of if he followsthe rules.

The rules couldchange by next year,however. Bickford saidthe township is rewritingand updating its zoningcode which was first putin place in 1997.

“I’m sure there will besome type of provisionsput in for holiday decora-tions, more clearly de-fined I would imagine,”Bickford said.

In a press release Dix-on’s lawyer, Linnemansaid, “This is a victory

for freedom of expres-sion and for propertyrights in SycamoreTownship. I’m proud thatJasen had the courage tostand and fight for thoserights.”

Linneman had previ-ously argued in courtthat the township ordersand fines violated Dix-on’s First Amendmentrights.

“A lot of people havelooked at this case as ahumorous story, butthere is a fundamentalprinciple at stake,” hesaid in the release. “Thereal importance of theFirst Amendment is thatit protects unconvention-al and unpopular view-points from persecu-tion.”

In the same release,Dixon said, “I believethis happened to me be-cause they don’t like thecontent of my display. Ihave the right to cele-brate Christmas in myown way on my ownproperty.”

PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE: CASE WAS ALOCAL ISSUE

Sycamore Township will no longer pursue criminalcharges against the man whose zombie Nativity scenehas garnered nationwide attention.

Jasen Dixon had faced $13,500 in fines from the town-ship, which issued 27 citations in December while hisNativity scene – featuring zombies in place of religiousfigures – was displayed in his yard. The display went upin early December and was taken down the day afterChristmas.

The township’s decision comes after the HamiltonCounty Prosecutor’s Office notified Dixon’s attorney, RobLinneman that it would no longer prosecute the criminalcharges. A spokesman for the agency, Triffon Callos, saidhis office decided it was a local issue that should behandled by the township.

With the prosecutor’s office out of the case, SycamoreTownship would have been required to hire a specialprosecutor to handle it.

Hamilton County Municipal Judge Brad Greenbergalready was considering whether to dismiss the 27 zon-ing violations, after Linneman argued the townshipdidn’t follow its own regulations. Greenberg was expect-ed to issue a decision next month.

The display generated widespread controversy. Pro-grams on Fox News and Comedy Central featured it. TheNew York Times wrote about it.

At least twice when hearings were scheduled in Muni-cipal Court, people dressed as zombies walked outsidethe courthouse in support of Dixon.

Early this month, Forest Thomer, who wore a fake-blood-splattered shirt, said the township was wrong topursue charges.

“Charging somebody $500 a day for expressing them-selves? This is America,” Thomer said.

When asked if the township would again pursue finesagainst Dixon if the display goes up this year, Bickfordsaid: “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it – if wecome to it.”

Do you snore or know someone whodoes? You are not alone. An estimated 40million Americans snore. But while snor-ing can be disruptive, it is often a symp-tom of a life-threatening medical con-dition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea,where the airway collapses during sleep,causing the person to stop breathing andawaken with a gasp multiple times perhour. Untreated, sleep apnea can lead toexcessive fatigue, high blood pressure,heart disease, diabetes, and even death.

At Cincinnati Dental Sleep Medicine,Dr. Kitzmiller and his team focus on thetreatment of snoring and sleep apnea.For Dr. Kitzmiller, it’s not just part of hispractice, it’s personal. As a sleep apneasufferer, Dr. Kitzmiller knows firsthandthe effects of untreated snoring andsleep apnea. “I used to think that mysnoring was harmless, until my wife Loriwould complain to me that she barelyslept due to my snoring and that when Istopped breathing it really scared her.”After his sleep apnea diagnosis in 2007and his inability to tolerate a CPAP ma-chine, Dr. Kitzmiller underwent exten-sive sleep medicine training to uniquelyqualify to treat not only himself, butnow over a thousand Cincinnati-areasufferers with Oral Appliance Therapy.An oral appliance is an FDA-approved,custom-fabricated, CPAP alternativedevice that is worn over the teeth whilesleeping. The appliance, similar in size toa whitening tray, holds the lower jaw justslightly forward, preventing the collapseof the airway.

Every year in March, Dr. Kitzmillerreaches out to the community to createincreased awareness of the dangers ofsnoring and sleep apnea, during NationalSleep Awareness Week. The annualawareness campaign begins on March 6and ends on March 13, the beginning ofDaylight Saving Time, when we all turnour clocks forward and “spring ahead.”

A syringe found next to a bench is a sign of the region’sheroin problem.

A new restaurant ismoving into Summit Park.

Blue Ash City Councilapproved a lease agree-ment with Nanny Belle’s, asoft-serve ice cream andfinger foods restaurant, tobe in the second communi-ty building at SummitPark.

Nanny Belle’s is a newrestaurant under develop-ment by local resident Bri-an Donnellan. The lease isfor 1,274 square feet of thecommunity building is for10 years with two five-year renewal options. Therent is $36,946 per year forthe first five years and$39,494 per year for thesecond five years.

Senate, in Over-the-Rhine, will be opening asecond location in thepark. Brown Dog Café willmove from its location onPfeiffer Road.

“Much of phase two isunder construction orstarting construction. It isdue to be completed inMarch or April, with res-taurants opening shortlyafter that,” said KeithHall, of MSA Architects.

The two communitybuildings and the controlcenter are the focuses ofphase two construction atSummit Park. Each of thethree phases were budget-ed for $12 million. CityManager David Waltz saidphase two constructionending up costing about$15 million, because con-struction of the secondbuilding was moved up tomake the space easier tomarket. Blue Ash CityCouncil approved phasethree projects going outfor bids.

Hall said the focusesfor phase three will be theobservation tower and thefrontier section, behindthe performance stage.

“As we are getting into

phase three, there was al-ways been this plan forthis iconic element associ-ated with the park and thatis the tower. That also pro-vides the gateway to thefrontier as you transitionfrom this more finished,refined area into the fron-tier,” Hall said.

The tower will have astairs and an elevator tothe top. Hall said the towerwill be half the size of theEiffel Tower at Kings Is-land, which is 315 feet. Thetower will have two com-munity rooms at the base,which will also each asgreen rooms for concerts.

The frontier alreadyhas a gravel walking loop.A pond with a small dockfor electronic boats, asledding hill and a natureplay area are all plannedfor the area.

“This area will alwaysbeen changing. What yousee on day one will not bethe same as what you seein year four or five andeven after that. It is goingto be a growing area,” Hallsaid.

Waltz said phase threewill finish the “bones andanchors” of the park butnew things may be addedover the years, such as anice skating rink, a beergarden or an addition tothe dog park.

“I have been taking to alot of residents about Sum-mit Park and they are in-credibly excited to see itgrow over the years,”Councilman Marc Sirkinsaid.

FEBRUARY 24, 2016 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • 7ANEWS

Oh my gosh, I’m not sure how toeven start this column since the reci-pes are a bit weird. So I’ll just goahead and say it. Today’s recipes veeroff from the norm in that they crackthe ceiling when it comes to speed

scratch foods. Thatmeans they both usepackage ingredientsand neither is fromscratch and neither is,well, probably thehealthiest thing youcould serve. I almostfeel like I should apolo-gize, but I won’t.

Why? Both the 7-cansoup and the Mississip-pi pot roast are so pop-

ular they’ve gone viral. And get this:both have been around a very longtime.

Credit social media for a resur-gence of interest, so much so that theNew York Times published an articleon the roast.

Ree Drummond, from “The Pio-neer Woman Cooks,” made the soupon her TV show to rave reviews. So ifthese recipes are good enough for theNew York Times and a celebrity cook,they’re good enough for us Tristatefolks! It’s fun once in a while to sharefunky, fun recipes like these.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenYou can use salt free beans, corn

and tomatoes.

Mississippi pot roast fromscratch

I found a really good one that, yes,takes more time and more ingredi-ents. But for the purists among us, it’sa nice recipe and delicious, as well.Check out my abouteating.com sitefor this recipe.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgateculinary professional and author. Findher blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her atrita@communitypress.com with “Ri-ta’s kitchen” in the subject line.

7- or 8-Can soup

The original recipe is called “7 can soup,” but I added an extra can of corn. I chuckled the wholetime I made this. I served it with cilantro and a sprinkling of cayenne. Next time, I’ll add a dollop of sourcream.

1 can meat-only chili (I used Hormel)1 can, 15 oz. each, undrained, of:Corn - but I used 2 cans Fiesta type cornKidney beansPinto beansBlack beansDiced tomatoes1 can, 10 oz. Rotel or tomatoes with green chilies8 oz. Velveeta, regular, Mexican or your choice, cubed (could use a bit less or sub shredded

cheddar or Mexican blend)Ground cayenne pepper (opt)

Empty all except cheese and cayenne, into pan over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmerfor about 20 minutes to meld flavors. Stir cheese into soup until it melts. Add cayenne or salt and pepperto taste.

Slow cookerMississippi pot roast

The combo of the herbs inthe ranch dressing and thesavory elements of the gravymix make for a lip-smackin’dish. And guess what? I’venever used dry gravy mix. So I’ma newbie to it. How aboutthat?!

Way back when, this wascalled Italian pot roast since itused pepperoncini, those spicypickled Italian peppers. Appar-ently, the recipe has southernroots, hence the name Mis-sissippi pot roast.

First, check your butcherto see if they carry tri-tip, assome may not. I talked withBob Chaulk, butcher at JungleJim’s Eastgate, who told methey carry tri-tips along withPicanas, a similar roast from thetop of the sirloin. Tri-tip, part ofthe bottom sirloin sub-primalcut, is easily recognized by itstriangle shape. I’m thinkingthat a chuck roast would workbut since I haven’t tried it, I’llleave that up to you. If you douse chuck, trim it, and if it turnsout fabulous, let us know.

4 pound tri tip roast1 pkg. Au jus gravy mix1 pkg. Hidden Valley ranch

salad dressing1 stick butter - yes, a whole

stick2 whole fresh banana

peppers

Place the roast in sprayedcrock pot. Sprinkle Au jus anddressing packets over. Place onestick of butter on top of theroast and add peppers. Don’tadd any water.

Cook on low 6-8 hours.Remove peppers at end ofcooking time.

Serve over noodles, rice ormashed potatoes.

Where are thestandards fordowntown Blue Ash?

Though not from the Car-penter’s Run neighborhood, Iattended the Blue Ash CityCouncil meeting when thehousing development at thegolf course was rejected.

Residents of the neighbor-hood were well organized andpresented a comprehensivereport in opposition to thisproject. That was not, howev-er, the determining factor inconvincing council to voteagainst this development.

Two or three council mem-bers visited the site and spokeeloquently how the develop-ment would detract from theaesthetics of the CooperCreek Event Center, referredto several times as a “gem,” inBlue Ash.

Kudos to council for reject-ing a plan that would negativ-ely impact the local neighbor-hood as well as the larger com-munity. These same standardsaren’t always considered asevidenced by the new apart-ments in downtown - 49 Hun-dred. Given the size of thefootprint, the overall aesthet-ics which detract from thesurroundings, and the issue of600 to 800 cars coming and go-ing everyday, one has to won-der if council “laid eyes” onthis plan prior to granting per-mission. Clearly they didn’tlisten to the well organizedneighborhoods being directlyimpacted.

There is a brief(?) morato-rium on new apartments whilecouncil considers the zoningplan for the city with all devel-opment planning and fundingfocused on Summit Park.

Meanwhile the downtowncore is being neglected. With-out a vital, attractive, walka-ble, shop-able, entertainingdowntown, there will be noreason for people to rent (orown) in downtown Blue Ash .

Any urban, suburban de-veloper will tell you that “asthe downtown core goes, sogoes the community.”

Contact City Council andyour representative to im-press upon them that addition-al apartments are not wanteddowntown and to change zon-ing . And also impress uponthem the need to promptlyplan and implement a down-town improvement develop-ment to insure that all of BlueAsh remains vital and desir-able well into the future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A family had been dealingwith raccoons that had takenup residence in their home.The raccoons were stealingfood, having raccoon children,making noise and creatingawful smells. They decided toget some help.

They called (Bernard) anice, grandfatherly gentle-man. He promised he could fixthe raccoon problem as well asall their other problems. Thecost would be $500; but, to easetheir concerns they would nothave to pay the bill for 10years. The bill would haveincreased to $5,000. By then,hopefully, their children wouldbe able to help pay the bill aswell as the family down thestreet who had worked hardand saved.

They decided to try some-one else (Hillary). She smiledand laughed a lot. She said thather husband would even cometo help rid the house of theraccoons. She said that as theonly female applying for thejob she was uniquely suited toinfluence the female raccoons.It was true that when othersasked for help they were at-tacked and killed by rabidraccoons; but, what differenceat this point did it make. Thefamily questioned her aboutthe fact that at another homeshe had been given access totheir security system codesand that she had let them beknown to the whole neigh-borhood. She just laughedagain.

They decided to try some-one who understood raccoons(Marco). His solution was tobring even more raccoons intotheir home. When the raccoonshad overwhelmed the familyby sheer numbers they wouldcontrol how the house shouldbe run. Until then the raccoonscurrently in the house should

be welcomedand given foodand shelter.He had thesupport ofseveralwealthy cus-tomers whosupported thisview and gavehim money tolet othersknow this was

how to handle raccoons.Since they did not want to

give control of their home tothe raccoons, they tried some-one who was not born in theneighborhood; but, made a lotof sense when they talked tohim (Ted). He talked aboutways to trick the raccoons intodoing what they wanted. Hesaid he would meet withchurches to pray about theraccoon problem. In the end,although the family liked ev-erything he said; but, theywere not sure if he would real-ly deliver.

They consulted the lastperson they thought could dothe job (Donald). He was rude,called the family membersnames, was loud and arrogant,and offended practically ev-eryone in their home. But, theyfound that he had been greatlysuccessful with the vast major-ity of what he had done in thepast.

Although, he had nevercome into anyone’s house torid it of raccoons before, hewanted the opportunity toshow the family that he couldhandle their problem and do iteconomically. He said I canmake your home great again.Just give me a chance. So theydid!

And, they lived happily everafter. (I hope).

Feb. 17 questionWhich Cincinnati team is most

likely to win a championshipnext - Bengals, Cyclones, Reds, UCfootball, UC basketball or Xavierbasketball? Why?

“I’d say Xavier basketball,but winning the NCAA tourna-ment first time in the Final 4 is astretch. So...have to go with theBengals because they have bestshot with potential repeat asAFC North champions in 2016,not predicting a (Super Bowl)championship though.”

C.G.

“In 2015 The Bengals lost inovertime with their secondstring QB to the Super Bowlchampion Denver Broncos.Had this game been at homewith Andy Dalton starting theresult may have been different.I have to feel the Bengals arecloser to a championship duethe more even playing field ofthe NFL (salary cap etc...). XUhas Final Four basketball po-tential this year and the Cy-clones are often in the mix. TheReds are regressing while UCis stuck unless they can get intoa Power 5 conference. With the

exception of the Cyclones’ Kel-ly Cups, the championship cup-board has been bare since the1990 Reds World Series sweep.Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“I have no idea which Cin-cinnati area team will win achampionship, but I do knowwhich one has no chance at all –the Bengals. As long as the cur-rent coach remains in place andhe and ownership continue toallow the world-class-embar-rassing antics the entire nationwitnessed in the most recent

playoff game, the Bengals don'tdeserve to win anything otherthan last place. I am first and al-ways a Lions fan, but I now livein Cincinnati and I so want tosupport and be proud of theBengals, but this team, thiscoach and especially this ownerhave not earned my respect normy pride. Nice job boys.”

M.J.F.

“Xavier basketball is mostlikely to win the next champi-onship because currently theyhave the right mix of playersand a head coach that knowshow to achieve success withthose players. The Reds are in along process of rebuilding andthe Bengals, basketball Bear-cats have underachievingteams with mediocre headcoaches. UC football just sim-ply cannot compete with thePower 5 conferences.”

The Cincinnati Cyclones pose for a group shot after winning the 2008 Kelly Cup.

It is a blood sport, a gameof life and death. It remindsme of the times my flightinstructor would direct ourflight to about 2,000 feet,pull the throttle back to idle,and say, “Now, what are yougoing to do?” This deadengine game would alwaysoccur at the most unexpect-ed times, like most autoaccidents.

2,000 feet is not that high,with no engine. You attemptto find the most friendlyopen spot in a grassy field,or road, set up a landingpattern, and as the wheelsjust touch the ground, yourinstructor shoves the throt-tle to full power and shouts,“I didn’t intend for you toactually land.” (Well, I did.After all, it was a matter oflife and death). This guywas a jet jock in Korea; heliked to chase geese in aCessna 152. He loved aero-batic maneuvers; he was acrazy man; I was just a be-ginning student pilot, withtwo kids and enough ratio-nal fear to do it by the book.

Driving is a game of afew feet; flying is a game ofa few thousands of feet.Driving actually requiresyour full attention 100 per-cent of the time; flying re-quires that you monitor theflight panel regularly tomake certain all systemsare normal, while lookingoutside for possible traffic,which is usually non-exis-tent, except around airports.

Driving conditionschange as quickly as thedriver next to, or ahead ofyou changes his mind. Hemay not know that you havepulled along side of him inthe passing lane. He maydecide that he wishes topass the car ahead of him,

and suddenlyhis car be-gins aswerve intoyour lane.What do youdo? Youswerve intothe outsideemergencylane to avoidthe side-swipe. If you

have been paying attention,you will know that no cars,or debris, are there.

You are driving south onMontgomery Road, north ofInterstate 275. As you passthrough an intersection withthe green light, a lady in hermid 30s suddenly darts infront of you, as she is turn-ing left. She is obviously in ahurry; however, her timingcould not have been poorer.Every bit of your drivingexperience informs you thatyour car will be in her frontpassenger seat. At the firstglimpse of her car turningleft you lit up the brakesand listened, as the giantMichelins intermittentlysqualled at each wheel.

HAMILTON - For the sec-ond year in a row, SycamoreHigh School’s boys basketballteam saw their season end in afirst-round tournament gameagainst Moeller.

Armed with a deeper roster,the Crusaders raced out to a15-2 first quarter lead on theirway to a 59-40 win over the Avi-ators Feb. 18.

Keegan McDowell ledMoeller with 14 points, withSam McCracken and TreyMcBride hitting for 12 apiece.Both McCracken and McBridehad crowd pleasing“McDunks” in the second half.

For fans of both teams, itwas at least a better game thanlast year’s 55-19 contest.

“They have a college player(6-foot-9 Jaden Sayles) andthey have some good guards,”Moeller coach Carl Kremersaid. “This is a neighborhoodthing and we’re going to gettheir best shot. I thought ourguys came out strong and dic-tated tempo early.”

The Aves didn’t run andhide after the first quarter 13-point deficit. Sycamore actual-ly outscored Moeller 15-12 inthe second quarter and trailed27-17 at the break. Much of thatcame from the sharp-shootingof senior Jack Gruden who hitall four of his shots in the firsthalf, three from long-range.

“I love that we were down15-2 and they could’ve packedit in,” Sycamore coach DaveMoss said. “I thought our kidsbounced back. We made a fewshots and hung around. It wasnice to see Jack (Gruden)score the ball a little bit.”

Added Kremer, “For what-ever reason, we’ve been kindof flat in the second quarter.That’s kind of been our nem-esis.”

The Crusaders had anotherrun in the third quarter to goup by 20 points. In the fourth,Gruden shot Sycamore within

13 at 4:23 but the Crusadershad anther surge and wereable to get most of their rosterin the game with a 19-point vic-tory.

Moeller goes to 20-3 andwas to face Winton Woods Feb.23. The winner of the Crusad-ers/Warriors takes on theLoveland/Oak Hills winner fora shot at regional action atWright State.

“In tournament basketball,all you’re doing is fighting toget a few more days of life,”Kremer said. “Now we get an-other game awarded to us.”

Sycamore’s season ends at5-18, but they return severalplayers.

Next year, Moeller is on theAves schedule in the regularseason as they used to be.

“When I was at Sycamore,that was the game; ‘The OldOaken Bucket,’ ” Moss said.“That’s the first time thatgame’s been played in sometime. Maybe if we keep play-ing them we can actually makeit interesting.”

SYMMES TWP. - Last week,CHCA, like most schools, had abusy athletic calendar. Therewere boys and girls swimmingsectionals, the girls basketballteam at sectionals and seniornights with regular seasonswrapping up can’t be forgotten.

Through all that, the Eaglesmanaged to cram one morething into the mix: adding a newgirls soccer head coach inHeather Vibberts.

She playedsoccer at Harri-son High Schooland the Univer-sity of Cincinnatibefore spending13 years on theEast Coast.

While there,she attendedBoston College

before completing her Master’sdegree from the University ofConnecticut.

The head coach has plenty ofexperience at the club level.She’s worked with CincinnatiUnited and other club organiza-tions both in town and on theeastern seaboard.

Vibberts replaces AbbySchumacher, who had been theEagles’ coach since 2011. “I’mbeyond excited,” Vibberts said.“This program is a diamond inthe rough and sometimes getsovershadowed by Summit andCincinnati Country Day. I’d liketo get them out of that shadow.

I’m excited to see what we cando.”

She said she’ll return talent-ed players from all grade levels.Among that bunch is LaneyHuber.

The freshman enjoyed abreakout season with 52 points,which was second overall in theMiami Valley Conference. Shewas first-team all-MVC with 22goals, eight assists.

“She’s a tremendous talentand brings great energy,” Vib-berts said of Huber. “I haven’thad the chance to see all thegirls. Most of what I know isfrom second-hand knowledge.But, I know we’ll have great tal-ent and leadership.”

Huber could further flourishunder Vibberts’ offensive-minded style.

She said she likes her outsidebacks to get in the attackingthird to push the pace and viewsher defense as the first line ofthe offense.

Her style calls for the unit tobe making smart passes out ofthe defensive zone to get the of-fense started again.

She admitted she’s not acoach who likes to sit down andsee how the action unfolds.

“You’ll see me pacing thesideline, putting the girls to thetest to see what they’velearned,” she said. “Hopefully,they’ll pick up on it to the pointwhere I don’t have to do that asmuch. I know this group can dogreat things. I’m excited tobuild upon what Abby did withthis team.”

show their pearly whites inFebruary. With a mix of expe-rienced players and talentedunderclassmen, MND didwhat some previous teamscould not.

“Our young kids come toplay and they don’t care whoscores the ball,” Rogers said.“They’re great at sharing. It’stough to get on them becausethey’re really such good kids.They kind of push themselves.That makes it so much easierto coach.”

Last year’s team featuredGGCL first-team selectionsNaomi Davenport and DaniKissel. Davenport was thePlayer of the Year and Rogersshared Coach of the Year hon-ors with Ursuline’s KeithStarks and Dan Wallace ofMcAuley. The Cougars sharedthe title with McAuley lastyear at 9-1 and won in 2014 at8-2. Minus two college-levelplayers, and with senior AbbieScholz sidelined much of theseason with a knee injury, Rog-ers wasn’t banking on a per-fect 10-0 run.

They began with senior Ab-

by Weeks, honorable mentionas a junior, as they’re most ex-perienced player.

“That’s a tribute to howhard they worked this year,”Rogers said of the league rec-ord. “We set the bar high forthem in practice. We knewfreshmen and sophomoreswere going to compete for a lotof playing time.”

Where the door was open,the youth stepped in and flour-ished. Behind Weeks, fresh-men Julia Hoefling and GabbyMarshall are the second andthird-leading scorers, respec-tively. Behind them are juniorMaria Pisciotta and sopho-more Abbie Voss. Somegames, five Cougars hit dou-ble figures.

Now, with Scholz back and afull bench, Rogers has MND inthe hunt again. From a ratherroutine looking layup linecomes trapping defensivepressure and a will to win in-stilled in the girls at earlyages.

At the beginning of theyear, fouls were an issue. Asthe season wore on, the Cou-gars have taken better anglesand intimidated opponents notused to being trapped orforced out of bounds.

They have a favorablebracket to advance, but even-tually will face teams that alsoplay pressure defense or havethem out-sized. Fortunately,their coach has seen a little ofeverything in winning threeprevious state championshipsat MND; two as head coach andone as assistant. Rogersbrushes off the past success,saying the players decidegames. However, words ofwisdom and strategy can nev-er be discounted and the veter-an is still a little handy evenwithout a white dental jacket.

“Every game’s a statechampionship game rightnow,” Rogers said. “If youdon’t have that mindset, you’regoing to get knocked off. I’vebeen on both sides of it.”

Millions of peoplehave been the victim ofidentity theft and nowthe federal governmenthas set up a website tohelp victims file an offi-cial complaint and gethelp fighting back.

The Federal TradeCommission website,www.identitytheft.gov,gives victims a personal-ized guide that stream-lines many of the steps tohelp victims recoverfrom the financial messcreated by identity theft.

The FTC receivedmore than 490,000 con-sumer complaints aboutidentity theft just last

year – a 47percentincreaseover 2014.That’spromptedthe FTChelp vic-tims bycreatingthis web-site. When

a consumer files a com-plaint at the site, it willautomatically generateaffidavits and pre-fillletters and forms to besent to credit bureaus,businesses, police, debtcollectors and the IRS.

The FTC says, “Con-

sumers who file a reportwill receive follow-upemails and can return totheir personalized planonline to continue therecovery process.”Those who run into prob-lems can turn to the FTCwebsite for alternativeapproaches.

The website also pro-vides information on howto prevent identity theftand how to spot otherscams.

In Ohio, more than1,670 identity thefts werereported last year andthe attorney general hasalso set up a special de-partment to help con-

sumers recover fromthis fraud.

The Ohio AttorneyGeneral recommendsyou locate the privacysettings on all your ac-counts, especially socialmedia accounts, anddecide how much youwant to share with othersabout you and your fam-ily.

Consumers need torealize many companiessell and share informa-tion about them withothers. So they need tocheck the privacy pol-icies of firms askingthem to sign up to re-ceive a prize, receive a

discount, or get noti-fications from a compa-ny.

To help prevent in-truders to getting yourpersonal information it’sbest to use a differentpassword for each web-site or program you use.The Ohio Attorney Gen-eral also recommendsyou disable automaticlogin functions on web-sites and don’t allow yourbrowser to rememberyou login password.

Avoid disclosing per-sonal information suchas logins, passwords orcredit card numberswhen using free public

Wi-Fi networks. Youneed to assume everyonecan see what you’re do-ing.

Finally, the attorneygeneral’s office says,when it comes to yourown Wi-Fi network makesure to use firewalls,router and network pass-words, and anti-virusprograms that protectyour internet connectionand ensure that only youand your family haveaccess.
