For all of the shopping,cards and gift wrapping, thereal gifts of Christmas are thememories - ones alreadymade and ones still to bemade.

Community Press report-ers asked readers to sharesome of their best (not all arehappy).

We hope you enjoy the sto-ries.

The smell of a fresh cedaror pine tree, the warm glow oflit candles or the sound of sea-sonal songs like “Hark theHerald Angel Sings” can opena floodgate of special Christ-mas memories.

Now in her 80s, Deer Parkhistorian and former Subur-ban Life columnist Ann Pooleonce penned a column that re-counted her own Christmasmemories from her humblechildhood in Augusta, Geor-gia, where she grew up one ofnine children.

The church play in whichshe and her siblings annuallyparticipated along with a city-wide caroling event are twospecial memories.

“Every elementary school

in the area gathered to sing allof the traditional carols,” shewrote in her column a coupledecades ago. “The picture itcreated (in my mind) is asclear today as it was backwhen I was a youngster. Therehad to be close to 1,000 youngcarolers, all robed in white,carrying lighted candles andoccupying the entire balconyof our huge civic center audi-torium in Augusta.”

Today, a lovely artificialtree with little white lightsglows in the corner of Poole’sDeer Park living room. As achild, a cedar tree served asthe Christmas tree.

“The tree, a large six-foot

cedar, was carefully movedfrom our yard and returned toits original site for anotheryear,” Poole wrote. The fra-grance of cedar filled thehome, she said. There werevery few store bought orna-ments. Instead, the tree wasadorned in red and green con-struction paper chains,strings of red berries and pop-corn and pine cones.

“Apples, oranges and nutsappeared under the tree onChristmas morning as if fromnowhere, and also filled ourstockings,” she wrote. “I canhonestly say we consideredourselves very lucky whenSanta left us that one specialtoy or doll that we had askedfor in our letters.”

As a mother of three girlsin Deer Park, Poole saidChristmas for her daughterswas a bit different from thoseshe enjoyed in Georgia. Herdaughters recently sharedtheir favorite Christmasmemories with Poole, whichshe recounts.

“Of course I liked all of mytoys Santa brought me, butmy favorite memory throughthe years has been the silver

Before heading out to thelocal park to fly a new Christ-mas toy like a remote controlairplane or drone, you mightwant to check the rules.

There are some park dis-tricts that restrict the use ofany motor propelled devicesexcept those used to transportpeople to and from the parks.

The Cincinnati Park Dis-trict and Anderson Park Dis-trict are two such entitieswhere these types of toys areprohitied.

Interim Business ServicesManager for Cincinnati ParkBoard confirmed that no fly-ing apparatus are allowedwithin Cincinnati Parks. Shesaid she doesn’t know why therule is in place, but ParkBoard Rule No. 32 addresses“Flying Apparatus and MotorPropelled Vehicles.”

Per the rule: “Except as ex-pressly set forth in these Reg-ulations, no person shall oper-ate, fly, launch, drive, or useany motor propelled vehicle,or flying apparatus or othervehicle (except motor vehi-cles driven on roadways de-signed for that purpose sub-ject to any separate regulationthereof) on or over park prop-erty, including but not limitedto airplanes, balloons, gliders,hang-gliders, boats, snowmo-biles, go-karts, rockets, pow-ered model planes, motor-bikes, motorcycles, or auto-mobiles, except with the writ-ten permission of the parkboard and except within suchareas as may be designated bythe park board and except incompliance with any reason-able safety regulations set bythe park board and made a

condition of any consent.”Anderson Park District has

similar rules in place, and thissummer added drone to thelist.

“As far as remote controlplanes, helicopters, thingslike that, we don’t permit themin the parks,” executive direc-tor Ken Kushner said. The An-derson Park District’s policyprovides an opportunity forthe parks director to grantpermission. For reasons of

surveying property or asearch, for examples,Kushner said he wouldconsider making an ex-ception. But if the deviceis being used purely forrecreational purposes, it’snot permitted in the An-derson Parks.

Overall, Kushner saidthe parks haven’t had aproblem. If someone isdiscovered violating thepolicy, they are respectfulonce informed, he said.

Not all parks prohibitdrones or other motor pro-pelled devices. There areno rules banning them incommunities such as theVillage of Evendale,Pierce Township or in Syc-amore Township. Therereally hasn’t been a prob-lem with drones, Syca-more Township Adminis-trator Greg Bickford said.

“If and when it be-comes an issue I am surewe will take a look at it,” hesaid.

Christmas tree,” recalledPoole’s daughter LisaHogg, who now lives in ElMonte, California. “I wasso fascinated by it, butnot so much more toys.”

Hogg said the tree alsohad a color wheel lightthat illuminated the treein a rainbow of colors.

“One of my manyChristmas memories waswhen Santa brought mysister and me a smallwooden table-likebench,” recalled JoniSanders for her mom.Sanders now lives in Del-ray Beach, Florida. “Hehad left little yellowchairs for us with ournames on them. Oh, yes, Ialso remember that theChristmas tree wasplaced in our playpen.”

Poole’s youngestdaughter Penny Hodge,who still lives in DeerPark, recalled a yearwhen Christmas wasnear and the family hadno tree.

“This had always beenthe highlight of ourChristmas,” she said.“After driving quite awhile we were gettingworried that we wouldhave no tree. That waspromptly solved whenour dad saw a lone tree ina yard used earlier forselling trees.

“My dad was sure thatthe lone little tree wouldbe just right.”

The tree was one-halfher size, even propped ona box, she added.

Over the years as a col-umnist, Poole said shehad the opportunity totalk with many area resi-dents about their Christ-mas memories. She thenshared them for all to en-joy in the Suburban Life.

Thanks to Ann Poolefor contributing to thisstory.

» Green grass beliesthe season, but the frontlawn of Schmidt DhonauKucner Funeral Homeharkens to Christmaspast.

Philip Schmidt, for-mer owner of the Sharon-ville funeral home, was incharge of the life-size na-tivity that filled the yardfor two weeks every yearin the 1960s, beginningthe Saturday beforeChristmas.

He was a member ofthe Sharonville business-men’s association, whichacquired the figures,structure, and a donkey,which they boarded at aWest Chester farm forthe other 50 weeks.

“It was huge,”Schmidt recalled. “Thebusinessmen’s clubbought it from a convent.The statues were castiron, very heavy.”

The stable was a heavylumber structure, erect-ed by the club membersfor the statues, which hadbeen repainted by stu-dents at Mount NotreDame High School in theearly 1960s.

“We borrowed twosheep from the samefarmer that stored ourdonkey,” Schmidt said.They were enclosed inthe structure with the fig-ures of Jesus, Mary andJoseph, as well as thethree wise men and shep-herds.

“I got the job of mak-ing sure the animals werefed every day and hadwater,” Schmidt said.

At that time, he and hiswife, Barbara, lived inthe apartment above thefuneral home on ReadingRoad in Sharonville.

“I’m not a farmer, but Iknew how to make surethey were fed,” Schmidtsaid of the diet of hay andwater.

He recalled two occa-sions when the sheep gotloose.

“I think somebody letthem out,” Schmidt said.“The phone rings in themiddle of the night. Itwas the police depart-ment saying ‘your sheepare loose.’

“You have to runaround in traffic, pick itup and put it back. Eachone separately.

“The other one was inthe morning, during rushhour. It was difficult toget the cars out of theway to capture thesheep.”

The nativity was asight to behold.

“People would stoptheir cars,” Schmidt re-

membered that 50 yearsago, parking was allowedalong the street.

“People could stoptheir cars and pet thesheep and donkey.”

Eventually, the nativ-ity was moved to DepotSquare, without the liveanimals, and today, it sitsin storage.

A new tradition brokeground at CincinnatiCountry Day School asthe first tree was plantedin what will be called the“Lifer Grove.”

Lifers refers to stu-dents who have attendedCincinnati Country DaySchool from kindergar-ten through grade 12.

Students from whatwill be the class of 2028watched as a bur oak treewas planted in the LiferGrove, which is locatedby the school’s AlumniHouse.

It is the first of whatwill likely be many treesplanted at the site byeach consecutive kinder-garten class.

“You can watch itgrow as you grow,” saidHead of School Tony Jac-caci, as the tree wasplanted under the watch-

ful eyes of the studentsduring a special gather-ing. “You can alwayscome back and visit it.”

Each kindergartenclass will have an oppor-tunity to choose the typeof tree planted in thegrove, said Kaki Scheer,an outdoor programsteacher at the school.

Scheer said the buroak was recently select-ed by the Garden Club ofAmerica as a plant of theyear.

She said the bur oakcan grow up to 100 feettall and 100 feet wide andlive from 200 to 300years.

The planting of thebur oak is part of theschool’s “Canopy Releaf”initiative which will offi-cially launch this spring.Canopy Releaf is part ofan effort by the school torestore trees on the cam-pus which have been lostto the emerald ash borer

and Asian longhorn bee-tle as well as trees lost todrought and high winds.

Additionally, theplanting is the school’sway of showing supportfor the “Taking Root” re-gional campaign to re-plenish millions of treesthat have been lost due toinsects and disease. Thegoal of this campaign isto plant 2 million trees inthe Ohio, Kentucky andIndiana region.

Kindergartener LiamJoyce, of Madisonville,put the benefits of add-ing a new tree to theschool campus in scien-tific terms. “(This is) sowe can breathe,” he said.“(The trees) give us oxy-gen.”

Joyce along with anumber of other stu-dents is already lookingforward to maintainingthe new tree. “I like wa-tering and taking care ofit,” he said.

I always wonder when I make thesemini fruit cakes just how many of you whoread this column like fruitcake or havesomeone on your holiday list who does.Trouble is around my house, I don’t havemany fruitcake lovers, so making thesefills the bill for those who want this sea-sonal treat.

I’ll be making these, too, for my friendBert, who lives down the road and whoremembers when I made batches of fruit-cake for our catering customers. I do haverecipes for traditional fruitcake from scratch,along with some made with box cake mix thatare really good.

So for those of you who need a big fruitcakefix, check out my site at Abouteating.com.

On another note, I know how this time of yearcan be stressful, as well as joyous. So rememberthis simple thought: Contentment is not the ful-fillment of what you want, but the realization ofhow much you already have. Merry Christmasand Happy Holiday!

Tip from Rita’s kitchenOne ingredient white chocolate icing:Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I had for-

gotten about this easy icing until I ran outof confectioners sugar to ice cut out cook-ies and found a lone bag of white choco-late chips in the pantry. What I love aboutthis icing is that it dries hard, no messyicing that sticks to fingers.

All I did was melt the chips over verylow heat, dunk the top side of the cookiesin and put them on a rack. I sprinkled

them with toppings before the chocolate set.Iced giant marshmallows: Dip into coating,

put them on a rack and shake sprinkles on topbefore chocolate sets.

Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes) These are so pretty and really delicious - just enough of a bite to

savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for amore authentic fruitcake taste.

1-1/2 cups diced mixed candied fruits1-1/2 cups raisins (combo of light and dark or whatever you like,

including currants)1/2 cup brandy or apple juice3/4 cup dark or light packed brown sugar (I use dark)1/3 cup room temperature butter1 large egg1 cup flour1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt and allspice1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1 cup chopped nuts (I like walnuts)Candied cherries for garnish

Melted apple jelly for glazeMarinate fruits and raisins in brandy or juice at least 4 hours or

better, overnight. That plumps them up and they’ll absorb most, if notall, of the brandy or juice.

Mix sugar, butter and egg until fairly fluffy. Whisk together flour,soda, salt and spices; stir in. Mix in nuts and fruits. Spoon into mini muf-fin tins lined with baking cups. Fill 3/4 full. Top each with cherry.

Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from tins, brush topswith brandy or juice while warm. Cool. Store in airtight container. Beforeserving, brush tops with jelly. Makes between 4-5 dozen.

Waldorf saladRob, a Northside reader, shares this recipe which he says “ is the

perfect accompaniment for that holiday ham”. He said go to taste onthe dressing and other ingredients. I have fond memories of my sister,Judy, making Waldorf salad for our holiday table.

Dressing: whisk together, taste and go from there

1/2 cup mayonnaise1/4 to 1/3 cup cider vinegarHoney or sugar to taste - start with a heaping tablespoon

Salad: mix together

1 heaping cup red grapes, halved5-6 nice sized apples: combo of tart and sweet, like Granny Smith

for tart and Gala or other for sweet, cut into 1/2” pieces3-4 ribs celery, chopped fine1 cup toasted sliced almonds or walnuts, chopped, or more to

tasteSalt and pepper to taste

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently until coated. Refrigerate,covered for half an hour or so. Adjust seasonings.

Tip: You can substitute dried cherries, cranberries or raisins for thegrapes and pecans for the nuts.

Eighteen percent of ourregion’s population lives belowthe poverty level – this affectsall communities from WesternHills to Downtown to Ander-son Township.

A core tenet of LaRosa’sFamily Pizzeria is about sup-porting families in our com-munity by helping our neigh-bors in need. Children livingin poverty are particularlyeffected – in many cases,these children go to schoolhungry and over the holidaybreak, parents don’t haveenough resources to providethe meals that would normallybe provided in school or atafter school programs.

More than 44 percent ofCincinnati children in povertygo to school ill prepared; indirty clothes, without socks orwearing shoes that don’t fit.Some schoolteachers evenhave food and clothing closetsat school to help. Imaginehaving a household income ofless than $20,000 a year foryourself and several children– it doesn’t go far. Imaginehow you’d feel as a parentknowing that your child ishungry and having no re-sources to feed them. Or thatyour child doesn’t have a coatfor our frigid Cincinnati win-ters. This is a snapshot of theworking poor.

Nationallyone in fivechildren facehunger on adaily basis. Weall have a roleto play in en-suring that nochild goeshungry. Partof that role istalking about“food insecuri-

ty” with friends, colleaguesand family to help raiseawareness of this critical is-sue. Volunteering is anotherway you can actively help –The Freestore Foodbank,among other social serviceorganizations, seeks volun-teers, particularly during theholidays to ensure that all ofits clients receive the helpthat they need.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to help theindividuals and families in ourcommunity. Beginning the dayafter Thanksgiving, each ofour pizzerias will sell BuddyCards (our two-for-one pizzadiscount card) to benefit theFreestore Foodbank. The Fre-estore Foodbank is one ofOhio’s largest food banks,distributing more than 20million meals annually in 20

different counties throughoutOhio, Kentucky, and Indiana.We will donate $5 from thesale of every $10 Buddy Carddirectly to the Freestore Food-bank. Our contribution willhelp support the FreestoreFoodbank efforts to providethe necessary resources tohelp eliminate food insecurityin our region. Please join us inour efforts to surpass our 2014contribution of $40,000 to theFreestore Foodbank.

Christmas as a kid was somythical as the countdownstarted Dec. 1 and every dayafter that became the buildup to the big night, ChristmasEve. In those early childhooddays, you believed that any-thing was possible.

The famous letter by Fran-cis Church, “Yes, Virginia,There is a Santa Claus,”speaks clearly to this:

“Yes, Virginia, there is aSanta Claus. He exists ascertainly as love and generos-ity and devotion exist, andyou know that they aboundand give to your life its high-est beauty and joy. Alas! howdreary would be the world ifthere were no Santa Claus! Itwould be as dreary as if therewere no Virginias. Therewould be no childlike faiththen, no poetry, no romance tomake tolerable this existence.We should have no enjoy-ment, except in sense andsight. The eternal light withwhich childhood fills theworld would be extinguished.”

The so-called Christmasspirit gives us the bestchance to get the newScrooge back. Actually whenpeople speak of the Christ-mas Spirit I think of EbenezerScrooge in Charles Dicken’s1843 “Christmas Carol.” As akid after watching the movie,I was always worried aboutthe possibility of havingghosts visiting me in mysmall attic bedroom let alone,discuss my past/future.Scrooge’s revitalized passionfor living is what most peoplerelate to the Christmas spirit.

The question I find myselfwondering when I need torekindle the flame or as anold farm kid would say it:putting more wood on that“campfire of the heart.” Whatam I doing when I get themost satisfaction in life? Theanswer can vary as the indi-vidual. Whether it’s visitingold friends or stopping in alocal nursing home to listen to

old time sto-ries…usuallysome type ofsharing of youis really whatblazes theinner firewith a newpassion ofgiving/receiv-ing in living.

For me,sometimes it’s

just enjoying simple things asbaking bread to share withneighbors or a walk outsiderealizing or marveling at ofnature’s creations.

The kid in me still remem-bers the thought of Santacoming down the chimney, orthe Easter Bunny hidingeggs; the tooth fairy leavingquarters under my pillow; thestork dropping off a baby atthe house, or the leprechaun’sgold as I look thru the windowglass to find the end of therainbow.

So then versus now…whathas changed? OK, of coursemore responsibility as anadult and tougher problemsto solve.

The big difference is as akid, we had developed anattitude of finding simplethings to be excited aboutlooking forward. As adults weneed something to look for-ward to…something to dreamabout… something to cele-brate daily.

Look at what’s positive inyour life. Don’t worry aboutthings you have no controlover. Not easy as some of usface unbelievable life chal-lenges, but remember it’sattitude…positive outlookthat can…will make every-thing…way beyond Christ-mas, believable again.

While cleaning out a drawerof forgettable stuff that shouldhave been discarded yearsago, I discovered a copy of theOct. 10, 1991, issue of the Sub-urban Press. Why it had beenpreserved for almost a quarterof a century is still a personalmystery.

If there was ever an ex-ample of the phrase, “whatgoes around, comes around,”the newspaper’s articles morethan verified it, at least interms of current events, poli-tics and social media.

“Sharonville, Glendale,Springdale No Longer in Fi-nan’s Senate District,” was thepaper’s front page headline.Obviously, state and Congres-sional districts had been sub-jected to reapportionment,with a Republican majority incontrol. Dale Van Vyven, staterepresentative, noted in acolumn that the political party“whose members constitute apolitical majority of the reap-portionment board traditional-ly had the free reign to con-struct districts which fit theinterests of the party!”

In other words electionshave consequences and bene-fits. Without doubt that samecolumn could have been writ-ten in 2011 or 1981 when the theboard’s majority also changed.

On the same page Sen. Rich-ard Finan led his column witha personal story about drivingon the expressway and passingpassing a driver who had a“small television set on his

dashboard.Sure enough, itwas turned onand he wastuned in.”Wow! What aprecursor totoday’s driverstalking on cellphones, send-ing text mes-sages and

keeping an eye of their GPSscreens.

The profligate expenditureof federal funds was the sub-ject of Jim Dygert’s weeklycolumn, “Why We Can’t HelpLetting Government WasteMoney.” While blasting thebottomless pit of the federalbudget, he cited the growingnumbers of individuals depen-dent on government subsidiesand the fear of inflationcaused by increased demandfrom government aid pro-grams.

“Bigger government bu-reaucracies and stifling regu-latory policies from both thestate and federal agencies”also drew the wrath of Mr.Dygert’s diatribe.

Ironically, in the midst ofcondemning government ex-penditures, Mr. Dygert com-plimented Sharonville’s localofficials for “being so good atgetting county, state and feder-al dollars. After all it would befoolish not to get more moneyback than it costs in currenttaxes and potential tax in-creases!”

Perhaps today’s SenateMajority leader, Mitch McCon-nell, and the Speaker of theHouse, John Boehner, coulduse this Sharonville precedentto secure federal funds for themoribund Brent SpenceBridge replacement project.

On a much lighter notePrinceton’s football coach, PatMancuso, complained abouthis team’s inconsistent offensein the Vikings’ latest 21-0 vic-tory over Fairfield, while JohnMarshall prepared his Prince-ton High School theater de-partment for a presentation of“Anything Goes!”

Moving the clock forwardby almost a quarter of a centu-ry, we discover that most is-sues remain the same. Onlythe names have changed. To-day, conservatives continue tocomplain about bloated gov-ernment budgets and exces-sive expenditures. Anyonedriving on an expressway hasnoticed that Mr. Finan’s com-plaint about someone watchinga small TV, is just one of many“Anything Goes” distractionsthat threaten the safety ofeveryone on the highway.

And last fall, Princeton’sfootball coaches probablyechoed Mancuso’s criticismfollowing the Viking’s 42-27loss to Fairfield.

The French would say, “Dé-jà Vu.”

INDIAN HILL – Formuch of November, whilemany area boys highschool basketball teamswere practicing, IndianHill High School hoopscoach Tim Burch was pa-tiently waiting and attend-ing Braves football games.

Much of his startinglineup was under the careof football coach Tony Ar-curi, who led the team to a10-0 mark, then a tourna-ment win over Wyomingbefore losing in a shootoutto Clinton Massie Nov. 14,40-34. Burch sat in thebleachers with his fingerscrossed as quarterbackReed Aichholz is his pivot,receiving leader, DawsonAichholz is a forward andreceivers Nick Heidel andColin Shaw are shootingguards.

To boot, guard MatteoFiore was putting in sometime with the Braves soc-cer team and a few otherswere football participants.Typical of many Cincin-nati Hills League schools,Indian Hills athleticsthrive on multi-sport ath-letes.

“I didn’t know what toexpect,” Burch said of fi-nally having a full squad.“You hope you have theconditioning right after 10days of practice.”

The beginning wasrough for the Braves asthey played an improvedAnderson team whosefootball season ended byHalloween. The Redskinswere the deeper team thatnight and won 75-60.

“We wanted that Ander-son game to get the rustoff of us,” Burch said. “Ithink it did help us to getout there and play a gameagainst a very good oppo-nent.”

However, the circu-

itous running of basket-ball became easier a weeklater when Indian Hillpounded CHL rival Wyo-ming 61-36 in a game manythought may be close.Reed Aichholz was a forcein the paint and Nick Hei-del shot the ball like it wasMarch.

“We played good de-fense and moved the ballwell,” Burch said. “I wasreally proud of theseguys.”

Sophomore Colin Shawled Indian Hill with 21 intheir opener and was oneof the team’s top scorers ayear ago at 15.1 per game.Heidel is a three-yearstarter who averaged 18per game last season andhit for 22 against Wyo-ming, including four offive treys.

“He’s capable of doingthat on a nightly basis,”Burch said. “He’s a heck ofa player and is a leader onour team.”

Heidel is the lone sen-ior starting in a quintetthat includes three juniorsand a sophomore. As infootball, the Braves have apresent and a future. Inaddition to Shaw and theAichholz brothers, theFiore brothers, Matteoand Marco, are junior andsophomore, respectively.

Matteo tops the leaguein steals, while Marco hasbeen among the assist andfield goal percentage lead-ers.

“They (Aichholz andFiores) have been on thecourt all together and it’sbeen a lot of fun,” Burchsaid. “We just need to keepbuilding. It’s still early.”

Wyoming was the pre-season No. 1 in the CHLand Burch thinks the Cow-boys will rebound and stillbe a force to be reckonedwith. The rematch be-tween the two rivals is atWyoming Jan. 22.

Like many sports,youth soccer has becomeincreasingly competi-tive and specialized. Un-fortunately, that has alsomeant that the sport hasbecome more expensiveand selective.

A new youth soccerprogram in Cincinnatihopes to reintroduce funand opportunity whiledeveloping skills andfundamentals.

Ohio United FCkicked off its inauguralseason in 2015. Led by lo-cal soccer veteran JeffAnderson, the club’smain focus is on accessi-bility and instruction.

“Success should notbe measured by the winsand losses, but insteadshould be measured bythe growth, develop-ment, and overall experi-ence that each individualplayer received,” saidAnderson. “My passion

is to offer all players theopportunities that I re-ceived during my youthexperience and offer itto them at a cost that is asaffordable today as itwas when I was young.”

Anderson played forNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity and for the Cin-cinnati Saints. He spent15 years as the directorof coaching for KolpingSC. He felt inspired tocreate a new programthat would be open to anyyoung boy or girl whowanted to learn how toplay the beautiful game.There will be less em-phasis on the business ofyouth soccer and more ofan emphasis on individ-ual training.

“My vision is to builda program in the Cincin-nati area that bringsyouth soccer back to itsroots, from being less ofa business and moreabout the players,” saidAnderson, “a youth soc-cer club that will accept

any and all types of play-ers, coaches, teams andeven recreational pro-grams to join. They allwill receive the trainingand the experience thatis offered by all the otherclubs, but at an afford-able cost.”

Ohio United FC offersa free “Tiny Shots” pro-gram for players agesthree through seven.Older players can regis-ter for certain teams foras little as $20 per sea-son. The club is open toplayers age 3-19.

There is an academytraining track as well asan individual team pro-gram. Ohio United FC of-fers teams the option toplay in any recreationalleague, MVYSA selectleague, or Buckeye Pre-mier League. Ohio Unit-ed FC also has its ownsanctioned leaguethrough U.S. Club Soccerthat allows teams to playwithin it. Teams can alsoplay as tournament-only

teams, if they so choose.“Overall, the vision of

Ohio United FC is to of-fer every opportunityfor all player types andteam types so that theycan experience and learnthe game of soccer at acost that is fair and af-fordable,” said Ander-son.
