COLLECTION TIME

With its major constructionproject nearing an end, Syca-more Community School Dis-trict is gearing up for securityimprovements and redistrict-ing discussions.

DirectorofBusinessOpera-tions Chad Lewis said the Ma-ple Dale Elementary Schoolconstruction project is gettingcloser to completion.

“The construction trailerswill be removed at the end ofJanuary or early February,Lewis said at the Jan. 22 boardmeeting.

“We expect to be grantedthe certificate of temporaryoccupancy around Feb. 14,” hesaid, adding flooring andplumbing has already been in-stalled.

He added a few outdoor ele-ments, such as landscapingand playground surfacing, willbe completed during springbreak, which is the first weekof April.

“Hopefully, by the end ofspring break we will be totallywrapped up and totally fin-ished,” he said.

The gymnasium is the onlypart of the old Maple DaleSchool that is being made partof the newbuilding. Lewis saidwith improvements the gymdoes not look any differentthan the rest of the new build-ing.

“It looks like it belongs andwas designed from the outsidetoo. I drove around it and itdoesn’t look like an old gym at-tached. It looks like it belongswith the building,” BoardMember Jean Staubach said.

The board approved $15,230of addition funds to be used onthe Maple Dale project. Lewissaid the funds were for extralandscaping costs, equipmentrentals and ventilation im-provements.Headded the costof theproject iswithin theorig-inal $17.5 million budget.

Theboardalsoacceptedtwogrants from the Ohio SchoolFacilities Commission for se-curity upgrades to its currentbuildings.

The first was for a $14,000grant to purchase an emergen-cy communication system thatLewis said could turn any com-puter in the schools to a “panic

alarm.”“That information could go

to the superintendent, it can goto any of the staff members, itcan go to principals and mostimportantly it goes directly tothe police. It goes right overtheir police band frequency,”Lewis said, adding he wasworkedwith both the BlueAshand Montgomery Police De-partments.

Currently, the schools havea panic button at the frontdesks, but it takes about twominutes for the alert to get tolawenforcement.With thenewsystem, law enforcementwould get the alert immediate-ly.

The second grant could beup to $35,000 to upgrade thefront entrances of all theschools to make them safer.

“We have worked with ourlocal police officers and feelreally good about our plansmoving forward to make ourschools even safer,” Lewissaid.

SYCAMORE TWP. —Andrian-na DiMasso doesn’t quite re-member when she first flewfaceforwardtowardchlorinat-ed water.

Her best guess is age 5 or 6,which means she’s probablyheard flapping springboards

and splashes inher sleep thepast 12 years orso.

Known as“Andi” DiMassoamong the aquaAves of Syca-more HighSchool, she waslooking forward

to her SeniorNight before pre-paring for the Greater MiamiConference meet Jan. 31.

After a January that sawher take second at the LarryLyons Invitational and first inthe Sacred Heart (Kentucky)dual, DiMassowas to take partin a Sycamore tradition wherethe divers get to swim.

“I know the strokes, sothat’s better than a lot of div-ers, I’m sure,” DiMasso said.

Outside of Senior Night, Di-Masso has been solely dedicat-ed to uplifting her downwardcraft. She hasn’t played anyother sports or performed ingymnastics like some divers.

“I can say she has been avery dedicated and focuseddiver over the last six-plusyearsthatIhavebeeninvolvedwith her,” Sycamore divingcoach Jack Phipps said. “Shehas a lot of talent and has doneverywell in a city that has a lotof talented divers.”

Actually, it’s remarkableDiMassohas advancedbeyondher league where Mason hashad the last threeGMCDiversof theYear. DiMasso hasmadeleague honorable mention

twice in addition to diving inCanton her sophomore and ju-nior years.

“Of course it’s intimidating,but it’s a great atmosphere,”DiMasso said of the state set-ting. “The diving community -we’reallsoclose.Youseethesekids all the time”

In 2013, she overcame aneighth-place district finish totake 12th in Ohio Division I.

The Lady Ave hopes tomake a few silent waves in thestate pool once again to grabthe attention of college coach-es.

From a consistency stand-point, her front two-and-a-halfis her bestmove.What goes byin ablur to the averageperson,is actually quite intricate.

“You start flipping for-ward,” DiMasso explained.“Youdo two flips thenyoudive

SYMMES TWP. — Good, old-fashioned hard work.

Asked the key to her scoringsuccess, Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy senior basketballplayer Marissa Koob said theformula wasn’t difficult to find.Doing the actual work, though,is another story.

“I spent a lot of time in thegym,” she said. “I played AAUall summer, just working onmyshot, trying to get better. I loveto score. I just like to take itstrong to thehole and I try togeta good look.”

Which she usually she does.More than amere gunner, Koobis an efficient scorer.

She leads the Miami ValleyConference at 23.8 points pergame, including a 42-point out-burst in an 88-23 win over ClarkMontessori Jan. 22, when shewas 16-for-24 from the field anda perfect 9-for-9 from the free-throw line.

“She’s an incredible driverand she has a good jump shot,”CHCAhead coachRonnieGran-disonsaid. “She’sveryexplosiveandshe’sverysmart. Shegets tothe foul line a lot – she’s strongand she can finish - and that’swhere she gets a lot of easypoints.

“If you’d have seen Marissatwo years ago, you would notthink she’s the same player.She’s worked very hard to im-prove her game.”

It’s paid off. Koob has a fullscholarshiptoplayballnextsea-son for the University ofCharleston, an NCAA DivisionII school in West Virginia. Sheplans to study interior designand possibly minor in physicaltherapy.

Koob trails only Princeton’sKelsey Mitchell (24.9) and Fay-

etteville Perry’s Makayla Ros-selot (24.5) in the race for a cityscoring title. The Eagles are 9-6(6-3 MVC) so far this season de-spite facing a lot of gimmick de-fenses.

“It’spresentinga littlebit ofachallenge because with (Koob)wehave to face a lot of differentdefenses, a lot of box-and-onesorvariations on thatwithpeopletrying to slow her down,” Gran-disonsaid. “We’ve justgot to fig-

ureout thatbox-and-one,gethergood shots and make sure theother girls stay involved.

“It’s a still a teamgame, but Ilove having a scorer, somebodywe know we can count on to putup points every night.”

Koob likes the role, too.“I think it sets a good exam-

ple for the rest ofmy team,” shesaid. “They see howhard Iwork

The Obama administra-tion is using the full pow-er of the Federal govern-ment against politicalopponents of the NationalDemocratic Party by or-dering the FBI to investi-gate the New Jersey Re-publican governor for atraffic slowdown on theGeorge WashingtonBridge in New Jersey.

The slowdown of traf-fic was supposedly inretaliation for lack ofsupport from Democraticmayor of a small city forRepublican governor,Chris Christie. Can youimagine – the federalgovernment investigatinga temporary traffic slow-down in New Jersey ?

Meanwhile there areseveral scandals – the“Fast and Furious pro-gram” of sales of morethan 1,400 guns to Mex-ican Drug cartels allow-ing the murder of at leasttwo American borderguards and the slaughterof hundreds of Mexicancitizens; the Benghazi,Libya, abandonment andmurders of the U.S. Am-bassador and threeguards; the IRS beingused as a political toolagainst Americans beforethe last presidential elec-tion; the NSA spying onAmericans, the Syriadisaster, the capitulationto Iran, the war on Chris-tianity in America, andthe Obamacare fiasco.

After months of in-competence and cover up,still no one is held respon-sible and no correctiveactions have been takenfor anything.

“I am pretty sure that theathletes will be protected butIamnotsosureabout thegen-eral public. One other thing, Iknowourpresidentdoesn’tal-low it but I call them Islamistterrorists, these are not thelittle sisters of the poor.”

NEXT QUESTIONPresident Obama has saidaddressing income inequalitywill be the focal point of hisagenda for the rest of histerm. What can be done toaddress income inequality?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viae-mail. Send your answers tonesuburban @communitypress.comwith Chatroom in the subject line.

‘It’s the law!’… sort of!The Supreme Court has

been hearing a case concern-ing President Obama’s improp-er – and as a lower court ruled,unconstitutional – appointmentof members to the NationalLabor Relations Board.

These appointments are justone example of the precariousdrift that our government istaking – moving away from therule of law and toward govern-ing by executive decree.

In a manner that I feelwould sadden our foundingfathers, President Obama’sadministration has engaged incontemptible abuse of ourconstitutional system. We seedraconian regulations frombureaucrats that have the pow-er of law without representa-tion. Work-seeking require-ments written in the law havebeen eliminated fromwelfareprograms without any vote tochange the law. Presidentialorders have been given toignore existing immigrationlaws.

Requirements under theAffordable Care Act (aka the

ACA, or Oba-macare) havebeen waivedfor specialinterestgroups. Ma-nipulation ofthe health carelaw has beenthe most bla-tant exampleof executiveabuses. The

President has redrafted, rein-terpreted, and delayed largeportions of the law, without asingle vote by the lawmakingbranch of the federal govern-ment: the United States Con-gress.

The Constitution gives apresident the authority to signor veto legislation passed byCongress, and tasks him to“faithfully execute” and en-force the law. A president can-not write, pass, or rewritelegislation. Our nation’s lawsare not options on a menu,where politicians and presi-dents can pick and choose whatwill be enforced and what will

be ignored.Defenders of the ACA are

quick to say, “It’s the law, up-held by the Supreme Court,”yet they are silent about theadministration not actuallyadhering to the law. Don’t getme wrong. I support repealingthe ACA and replacing it withpatient-centered, free marketsolutions that increase accessto care, lower costs, and helpand protect those with pre-existing conditions. Just oneexample is the AmericanHealth Care Reform Act, cur-rently cosponsored by a major-ity of Republicans.

Off-the-cuff changes anddelays to the ACA, decided bythe president without properlegislative authority, confuseand confound American indi-viduals and businesses alike.More so, these actions by theadministration trample theConstitution and upend thevital balance of power theframers intended.

We’re taking action in theHouse. Legislation that I havecosponsored seeks to stop

these abuses; the Stop ThisOverreaching Presidency Res-olution (H.Res. 442) seeks acivil injunction as the rampantabuses by President Obamaare challenged in the courts.

President Obama has said,“We’re going to do everythingwe can, wherever we can, withor without Congress.” Mem-bers of Congress were electedto represent “We the People”as well. We were formed as anation of laws – laws craftedby representatives of the peo-ple.

America has achieved greatthings by adhering to the prin-ciples of our legal framework.The fundamental genius of theAmerican Republic came fromthe simple, yet absolute, affir-mation that we as a nationoperate by rule of law, lawcrafted by the many, not theone.

Home fire safety tips in-clude more than installing firealarms and developing a fireescape plan. While less obvi-ous, fire places and woodstoves can produce pollutantsthat can harm your health, ifnot addressed.

If you smell smoke insideyour home, that’s a sign thatharmful air pollutants are inyour home. Wood smoke con-tains a mixture of air pollut-ants including microscopicparticles. Studies show particlepollution can harm the lungsand heart and even cause earlydeath.

According to the U.S. EPA,particle pollution can triggerasthma attacks, impair lungdevelopment in children, in-crease symptoms of COPD andcause coughing, wheezing andchest tightness. For people

with heartdisease, parti-cle pollution islinked to heartattacks, irreg-ular heartbeat,heart failureand stroke.

People atgreater riskfrom particlepollution, in-cluding wood

smoke, are older adults, chil-dren and teens, and peoplewith certain health conditionssuch as heart or lung diseaseand asthma. New or expectantmothers may also want to takeprecautions to protect thehealth of their babies. Burningthe right wood, the right way,in the right wood-burning ap-pliance can reduce harmful airpollution.

Burn the right wood

Not all wood is the same.Always burn dry, seasonedwood to reduce particle pollu-tion. Softwoods such as Doug-las fir need six months to dryand hardwoods such as oakneed at least 12 months. Gar-bage, plastic, treated lumberand driftwood should never beburned.

Burn the right wayWet wood is a problem for

your health and your pocket-book. It creates a lot of smokeand burns inefficiently, mean-ing the heat literally goes up insmoke. Moisture meters areinexpensive and available athardware stores to test thewetness of wood before burn-ing. Wood should only be usedif the moisture content is 20

percent or less.

Burn in the rightappliance

Like an old car that belchessmoke out of the tailpipe, oldwood stoves are bad pollutersand less efficient. Newer, EPA-certified wood stoves and fire-place inserts (wood stovesdesigned to fit into a fireplace),reduce air pollutants by 70percent compared to oldermodels.

There are also some impor-tant regulations for open (out-door) burning. To learn moreabout air pollution or openburning please visitwww.SouthwestOhioAir.org.

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces

ForMelanie, whowanted to serve shrimpfor her Super Bowl party.“I want to make theshrimp cocktail myselfinstead of buying it. Doyou have any tips forcooking the shrimp andfor an easy sauce?” sheasked.

Shrimp

2 dozen raw shrimp,deveined with tails on(see tip from Rita’skitchen)

8 quarts water1 lemon, cut in half2 garlic cloves, smashed3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning

2 teaspoons salt

Bring water and sea-sonings to a boil. Addshrimp and when thewater returns to a boil,the shrimp should bedone. They will be bright.

Have a bowl of ice waterready to put the shrimp inafter draining to coolthem off. As soon asthey’re cool, remove fromwater and refrigeratewhile making sauce.

Cocktail sauceMix together:

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 horseradishinto whipped cream. Orjust buy horseradishsauce and use that. Some-times I put a squeeze oflime into the sauce.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice waterin frig. and drain.

Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish about it,ask to have them de-veined before you pur-chase.

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl andmix withcheeses. Spoonmixtureinto each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan. Bake20minutes or until bubblyand lightly golden.

Carol’s vegetariangoetta

When I asked for read-ers to share goetta reci-pes, one of the first Ireceived was from readerJulie B. Julie shares hermom’s vegetarian goettarecipe. Here’s what Juliesays: “I have to sharemymom’s vegetarian goettarecipe. She has beenmak-ing traditional slow cook-er goetta for years andthen decided she neededan option for hermanyvegetarian grandchildren.It is delicious, spicy andflavorful! I hope youdecide to share it.” Well,Julie, this does look sogood and, yes, I’m happy

to share yourMom’s veg-etarian goetta.

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

Combine everything inslow cooker. Cook on highfor 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 fiveminutes untilgolden brown. (Carol saysyou really need the canolaoil, as the goetta will bevery dry since it containsno 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 ac-count before you becomeaware. Then, you’ve gotto notify your bank and

try to getyour mon-ey back,which cantake sever-al days. Inthe mean-time, youcould beleft unableto pay yourbills. So, if

you believe you’re affect-ed by this, I recommendyou cancel your debitcard and get a new num-ber.

Target is now offeringaffected 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 theenclosed 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 freecredit monitoring withCredit Karma. It alsoprovides your creditreport, including creditscore, for free. You cansign up at www.credit-karma.com.

If your personal in-formation has been sto-len, and thieves open

charge accounts in yourname, they can be verydifficult to resolve. Thebest thing to do is contactyour state attorney gen-eral. In Ohio, the attor-ney general set up a spe-cial Identity Theft unitthat handled 578 suchcases in 2013.

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 demandsimmediate payment. At

the top of the bill are theletters PG&E, not DukeEnergy

These emails are be-ing sent all over thecountry prompting Pacif-ic Gas and Electric to sayit is investigating. If youget one of these emailsjust delete it withoutclicking on any links orattachments.
