City Council members recently voted 5-to-2 for Cunningham’s Root Beer Junc- tion idea as the winning proposal for the future tenant at the former train depot building, which is owned by the city. Although council members Rob Steier and Kenneth Born preferred Mi- chele Vollman’s Frenchie’s idea, the rest of council decided Cunnigham’s idea was the best fit. The building’s previous tenant was Choo Choo’s restaurant, but following a May 8 fire in the restaurant’s kitchen the city decided to look at other options for the site that wouldn’t include the same type of kitchen setup. The grease fire was determined to be the fault of the kitchen staff and restau- rant owner Mike Wessel’s operation had previously failed inspection for several issues, including excessive grease build- up in his friers. The city then sought proposal pack- ages from interested business owners who would want to lease the former rail- road depot building and potentially re- purpose it. Out of eight proposals, three were re- cently chosen as finalists for the former railroad depot building on Miami Ave- nue. Council members said that residents’ requests for a community gathering place that appealed to a broad number of people tipped the favor in Cunningham’s direction. Although Vollman’s idea would likely bring many of her loyal patrons into Ma- deira, having a place for the people who live in Madeira ranked as a higher priori- ty. Third finalist Peachy Seiden’s idea of a health-conscious restaurant was ap- pealing to some, but several council members said that her limited hours of operation wouldn’t generate enough earnings or be available to residents who aren’t in Madeira during the morning and early afternoon. Councilman Mike Steur said that the train station needs to be a place where community members can gather, which was the purpose of Centennial Plaza in the first place. “There’s nothing more small town than an ice cream cone and root beer at the train station,” he said. Councilman Richard Staubach agreed, saying that the plaza was built to be somewhere that everyone can come together, and he felt Frenchie’s changed the plaza too much for his liking. Several residents who spoke seemed to agree as well. Madeira High School student Jake Schweppe told council that he thought Root Beer Junction was the best for all ages, and collected dozens of signatures from high school and middle school stu- dents that supported his position. Schweppe added that some expressed that he wasn’t informing students about what they were signing, that they don’t pay taxes and aren’t voting age. He said that the teens have clearly stated that they want Root Beer Junction to go in the depot. “This isn’t about voting, it’s about sim- ply voicing your opinion,” he said. “... And I’ve always been told to voice my opinion to the community.” However, resident Claudia Harrod said that while Cunningham’s proposal was popular with high school students Councilmembers Rob Steier, Mike Steur and Melisa Adrien listen to residents voice their opinion about which restaurant proposal should be chosen as the next tenant for the former train depot building, which is owned by the city.

    St. Vincent FerrerSchool in Kenwood usedthe support of its com-munity to win $30,000for a cafeteria and kitch-en renovation.

    Just 10 days beforethe Uncle Bens Begin-ners Rice Contest dead-line, students and par-ents took a shot at win-ning for the school.

    A child and their par-ent had to submit to Un-cle Bens a video ofthemselves makingtheir own rice dish, hop-ing that one would getenough votes to win$30,000 for the schooland $15,000 for them andtheir family.

    Before voting for in-dividual videos ended onOct. 27, the school foundout that it had won itsown prize of $30,000 forhaving the most videossubmitted in theirschools size category 55 students and theirparents submitted avideo, which is morethan 30 percent of thestudent population at St.Vincent Ferrer, saidAmy Fischer, parent andchairwoman of theschools marketing com-mittee.

    Lisa Samson, presi-dent of the Parent-Teacher Organization atthe school who pushed

    for students to enter thecontest, said that bothparents and kids wereexcited about the con-test and, ultimately, win-ning a prize.

    They were superthrilled that their effortpaid off in abigway, shesaid. ... Its incredible,not just from a financialstandpoint, but alsofrom the school spiritand community comingtogether.

    As part of winning aprize in the contest, theschool was recently fea-tured on theRachaelRayShow. Samsonwas flownto New York City as wellto be on the show.

    Samson said theschool is planning oncreating a committee ofpeople that representthe various groups andevents that use the kitch-en in the cafeteria, suchas the church, mensgroup, festival and annu-al spaghetti dinner.

    The committee,which she said they hopeto form in the nextmonth, will discusschanges that would bestserve everyone.

    Samson said that to goalong with the idea ofschool spirit, or HornetPride, as they call it, amural for thewalls are inthe talks for changes be-ing made to the cafete-ria.

    The kitchen will alsobe important to the stu-dents. Right now, Sam-son said, Sycamoreschools provides lunchto St. Vincent Ferrer stu-dents, but no cooking isdone on-site. Remodelscould make food fresherfor students.

    She added that al-though the school has arecycling program andvalues helping the envi-ronment, students eattheir lunch off Styro-foam plates because thedishwasher no longerworks.

    Samson said a studentpointed out that a dish-washer would be an im-portant improvement toeat off reusable traysand with silverware.

    Our school recycles,and theres a push to takecare of the environment,then students go down tothe cafeteria and use alot of Styrofoam, shesaid. It sends the wrongmessage, and we want tolook at that.

    Although St. VincentFerrer won the schoolparticipation prize, anindividual student andtheir parent could stillwin that prize as well,which couldmean anoth-er $30,000 to the school.

    Even if no onewins in-dividually, Samson saidthe community supportand school spirit thatcameout of the contest isincredible.

    We had a very limit-ed amount of time to pulleverything together, andthe fact that we got athird of the student bodytogether showed evenmore what our schooland community spirit islike, she said.

    UPPER ARLINGTON The Mount No-treDameHighSchool fieldhockeygirlsplayed nearly 67 minutes against thedefending state champions Nov. 1with-out allowing a goal in the state semifi-nal.

    Unfortunately, with 3:01 left in sud-den death overtime, sophomore GraceGeiger of Columbus Academy foundthe net to send MND home on the sadside of the scoreboard.

    Minutes earlier, junior goalkeeperAlly Benz had made a dramatic savethat stopped what looked like a break-away goal. Geigers goal ended a dra-matic back-and-forth extra period thathad fans for both sides on their feet.

    She had some awesome savesthroughout the game, coach Beth Von-derbrink said. Its tough when theysneak it in there at the end.

    It was the first goal MND had al-lowed since tying Louisville CountryDay to end their regular season. How-ever,withone flickof thewrist, theCou-gars season ended.

    Its a blur right now, but itwas off ofa corner, Vonderbrink said. Its hardin overtime when you only have threedefenders back there. Thats one of thethings tough to do in overtime - defend-ing corners.

    Most of the game was played in themiddleof the field,withbothsidesocca-sionally getting near the goal or somecorners, but neither coming close to ascore. The game was also pretty phys-icalwith juniorMoriahFlynn twice tak-ing a stick to the leg courtesy of Colum-bus Academy.

    She does have a stick print on herleg, Vonderbrink said. We have a

    great defensive team and it looked likethey had a very good defensive team.

    ForVonderbrink, its the second timeColumbus Academy has sent her homewith a state tourney loss. In 2004, whenplaying for now-assistant Don Johnson,theCougars lost to theVikings1-0 in thestate final.

    Well get there, Vonderbrink said.We have a good group of juniors com-ing up. Our seniors are outstanding andhad a great year. Our juniors are next tocome.

    The semifinal setback was the finalgame for seniors Rachel Kraimer, Hol-ly Carota, Kelsey Bushfield, Molly

    McGeeney, Sarah Sikora, MackenzieFeathers, Megan Goslee, MacenzieReed, Abby Reno and Andie Taney.

    In the stands, a cheer could be heardusing the term Ohana, which meansfamily in some foreign language, ac-cording to Vonderbrink.

    Someone made it up in 2008 actual-ly, she said.

    In 2014, she hopes to gather the Cou-gar family again for a fifth trip to thesemifinals. With a junior varsity teamthatwon their leaguechampionshipandfinished 13-1-2, it could be another nicefamily outing.

    Aftermaking regionals as a sopho-more in 2012, Petry improved in ayears timetofinish12that thedistrictmeet in Troy on Oct. 26. His 16:48 wasseven seconds quicker than his previ-ous best of 16:55.

    In the state race Nov. 2, Petry fin-ished 62nd with a time of 17:17.43 outof 146 participants. His average milewas 5:34.

    CoachedbyShannonandBrianDa-vison incrosscountryandChuckHar-mon in track, Petrywas glad to repre-sent Deer Park.

    Its been a longtime since weve hadanyone get so high upin cross country andtrack as far as dis-tance, Petry said.Its pretty exciting.

    Nostrategy is fool-proof, but Petrys pat-tern has been to lurkfrom a distance. It al-lowed him to be a topfinisher all seasonand gave him a first-place finish at a meetat Seven Hills.

    Its tough to ad-just, Petry said.What Ive found isthat in the first mile Ineed to start off in theback. I look at howIm running that day,how I feel and who Ican beat. I usuallystart around 20th then I start seeingpeople thatmaybewent out too fast inthe first mile. I pick people off andstart moving ahead.

    He says many top runners do thesame thing. Hes been perfecting histrail trotting since he was in seventhgrade.

    Hes also a 1,600/3,200 runner intrack, so passersby may see Petrynear the railroad tracks or aroundChamberlin Park chewing up moremiles soon.

    I run around the Dillonvale shop-ping center, Petry said. Theres aneighborhood behind there. I evenrunoutasfarasBlueAshandKemperRoad.

    With the cross country seasonover, Petry will point to spring to im-prove his sophomore numbers. His3,200 time was second in the CHL.

  • SPRINGFIELD TWP. Jake Westerkamp andhis St. Xavier HighSchool water polo team-mates were one halfaway from seeing theirultimate goal come tofruition.

    The Bombers led St.Charles PreparatoryAcademy out of Colum-bus 8-6 at halftime of theOhio High School statetitle game, but were out-scored 11-5 in the secondhalf en route to a 17-13loss Oct. 26 at MasonHigh School.

    Despite the loss,coachMike Roberts isntfocusing on what theBombers didnt accom-plish; he wants everyoneto knowwhat his guys ac-complished in just threeyears since establishingthe program.

    All we had this yearwas positives, Robertssaid. We beat everyteam in the state.Webeatthe team that won lastyear, we beat the teamthat won this year andthats nothing but up forus. This is like the firstrung of the ladder.

    Roberts believes if itwerent forWesterkamp,there wouldnt even be aladder to climb. As a lit-tle skinny sophomore,WesterkampofLovelandstarted the first waterpolo match in St. X histo-ry and has started the 90-plus games since.

    If he didnt come outor chose to go to a differ-ent high school, Im notsure we could have car-ried the programthrough some bumps inthe road, Roberts saidof his senior captain.Hes just been tremen-dous.

    Westerkamp endedhis career in style de-spitenotbringinghomeastate title. He scoredeight of the Bombers 13goals against the Cardi-nals to earn himself a2013 Ohio state All-Tour-nament team honor.

    Jake is like a coachsdream, Roberts said.Hes a kid thats notphysically imposing,hes not exceptionallystrong, hes not excep-tionally fast, but hesveryaware.Heplays as agood teammate. Hessmart, hes wily, hes agreat leader and hell bemissed.

    The Bombers (18-11-1)struggled all season longwith the Cardinals going1-4 versus the statechamps. Their lone wincame Oct. 6 at the Mil-ford Invitational, knock-ing off the Cards 8-5.

    They are a very wellcoached team, Robertssaid. (St. Charles coach)Jeff Geers has beencoaching a long time andhes got a system.Hes in-sistent his kids playwithin the system; theydo that and they do itwell.

    Three years ago St.

    Xavier didnt have a wa-ter polo program, nowthey have three teamswith 28 kids, including14who never touched a wa-ter polo ball prior to thebeginning of the season.This years team in-cludes boys from Love-land, Roselawn, Sharon-ville, Pleasant Ridge,Colerain Township, WestChester, Blue Ash, Mid-dletown, AndersonTownship, Hyde Park,Maineville, andMadeira.

    The foundation hasbeen laid for thoseyoungsters whowere ex-posed to success andleadership early in theircareers.

    They have grown upplaying other sports orswimming so its just agreat mix, Roberts saidof his underclassmen.Having them exposedto Jake Westerkamp for100 days and a season isjust going to be great forthem going forward.

    A publication of

    About 2,400 years ago, theGreek playwright Agathonwrote, Only this is denied to

    the Gods, theability tochange thepast.

    I know of nosurvivingelements of hisplays, but theimportance ofthe quote hasintrigued mefor years. Inthese times itbears serious

    thought.For those who are not famil-

    iar with Greek theater, let megive you a few tips. The playswere short and carried a mes-

    sage almost like a sermon.They usually presented a seri-ous problem, but not an an-swer. This was to be discussedas the viewers walked homefrom the performance. As thegroup reached a crossroadthey stopped in order to con-tinue the discussion. This ledto a common word of today,trivia, meaning three ways.

    The Gods had human attri-butes and often human failingsso that mortals could relate tothem. Tragedies were gener-ally about personal faults andcomedies tended toward soci-etal failings. If you read someof these plays, you will findthat they can be presented aspresent day problems.

    Lysistrata (cleansing of

    strife) is an antiwar playwhere the women of Greece goon a sex strike to make themen quit going to war. Is oftenpresented in a modern format.

    As Albert Einstein noted,humanity has not changed, butwe create mass technology todo harm to others. Sadly, wecontinue our tendency to do so.

    I think the major part ofthat problem is that we tend tobe very intensely partial to ourown social sub groups. We tendto view others with extremedisfavor at the worst or withguarded acceptance at best.

    I have been fortunate tohave traveled among manyvery diverse groups. Instead ofdismissing them as strange orunequal, I have tried to un-

    derstand and accept them forwhat makes their societyunique. In this way I learn andappreciate my new found in-terests. The similarities tend tobe instructive of humanity.

    Old hostilities lasting forcenturies are not forgiven, butoften intensified to the disad-vantage of all. They are mostly,but not all, toward other racesor religions. Even worse is theprejudice that seeps out ofthese hatreds and causes oth-ers to make poor judgments.Those only add to the problemsof humanity.

    Lately, government formsseem to add to the problems.Somemay feel that they causediscrimination. I have a pri-vate joke to let you in on. When

    I get one of these forms, in thespace for race, I put human.For religion, I enter yes. Youmight imagine what I enter forsex if I am in a whimsicalmood!

    Now we go back to Agathon.We cannot reverse the wrongsthat all of us have committedduring our lives. It matters nothowminor they may havebeen. The resentment becomescumulative so that somemayfeel the result of age-oldwrongs. In this era of bitter-ness over religion, race ornationality it is time for hu-manity to overcome the cult offeigned superiority.

    Last weeks questionShould schools have manda-

    tory drug tests for students?Whyor why not?

    Employers, themilitaryandprofessional sports teams havemandatory drug tests, why notschools? Schools are supposedto train you for what is cominglater in life. Get used to it. Soon-er or later, you will face one ofthese invasions of your priva-cy.

    F.S.D.

    Iwould love to say yes, but Iwould also say there are toomany laws and groups thatwould oppose.

    Im glad to see that severalprivate, not public tax-dollarschools, have enough guts totake on checking for drugs.

    I again will say as I alwayssay, as long as we have attor-neys and government stickingtheir noses into everything wewill have prolonged problems.

    If it ever comes to manda-tory drug testing it should notonly be restricted to students,but also to teachers and admini-stration, and be made aware tothe public, as we are taxpayersand they work for us.

    D.J.

    During my working careerit always bugged me that therules I had to enforce and/orobeywere almost always due tothe 5 percent. Somewhere Iwastold that about 5 percent of thepeople cause 90 percent of ourproblems.

    What will mandatory drugtesting correct? Who will payfor it? How much will the test-ing disrupt our schools achiev-ing their primary mission?Mandatory drug testing goestoo far.

    R.V.

    Absolutely not. A school isNOT a prison.

    Ifastudent isabusingdrugsand his or her performance atschool suffersbecauseof it thenit will result in the normalschool related consequences low grades, discipline for nega-tive behavior, etc. That is all thefeedback anyone should need tobecome aware a student is introuble of some sort.

    It is not the schools job totreat well-behaved, conscien-tious, average students as ifthey are criminals.

    E.M.S.

    No on mandatory drugtests, for a number of reasons.Primarily because is gives stu-dents the message that We

    dont trustyou and is anugly in-vasion of privacy for studentswho do not use drugs.

    It also seems to be a searchwithout probable cause. It willidentify a relative small per-centage of students at a greatcost.

    And what do the schools dowith the information? If a stu-dent fails the drug test does itlead to automatic suspension,mandatory drug educationclasses, or a permanent record?

    Way too many negativesand potential problems withthis plan.

    J.R.B.

    Forathletes ... yes ... generalstudent population ... NO!

    Imagine the cost for thiswith so many schools are finan-cially strapped anyway, who isgoing to foot the bill?

    O.H.R.

    HELL NO!! Schools are in-stitutions of learning, not policestates. Not to mention the inva-sion of privacy.

    If a child is taking prescrip-tion medication that has to bedisclosed prior to the test andmy kids medical history andrecordsareprotectedfromgov-ernment intrusion.

    Ifmykid is ondrugs, itsmyresponsibility to deal with that,not the school systems.

    J.S.K.Arewe talking about all stu-

    dents when we are doing thisdrug testing?

    Where would the moneycome from?

    I think it should be based onwho the educators might sus-pect and if one looks or acts likesomething is amiss then thatperson should be tested. If theperson fails the drug test, thereshould be a concerted effort toget thispersontheproperhelp.

Doyou support Seitzs proposal?Why or why not?

    Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

    If you have ever paid atten-tion to customer commentsonline and let strangersinfluence your purchasing

    decisions as aresult youare in theoverwhelm-ing majority.

    In fact,nearly 80percent ofU.S. consum-ers considerwhat othershave postedonline beforebuying a

    product or service.Back in 1999, before we

    were using the Internet daily,customer review sites wereborn beginning with Epinion-s.com. This site and otherslike it were launched to solicithonest, informed opinionsabout products and servicesas a consumer resource.

    Today, online reviewsarent always honest and theyarent always written withauthenticity. More and more,business owners are posing asunhappy customers of theircompetition.

    This new business prac-tice is unjustly hurting busi-nesses by misleading consum-ers, and many dont realizethat this practice is more thanjust unfair its illegal.

    Take a case from our ownback yard. In Cincinnati, oneFortune 500 company lostmillions of dollars in salesafter competitors bloggedfalse information following anew product launch.

    And large companies arentthe only ones facing falsereviews: Retailers, restau-rants, hotels, small business-es, accountants and doctorsare just a handful of indus-tries getting victimized.

    With more than two-thirdsof the population using onlinereviews to inform purchasingdecisions, consumers areequally at risk.

    Online consumers turn toreview sites for honest feed-back when contemplatingboth large and small pur-chases. When false reviewsare posted, it misleads con-sumers to purchase based oninaccurate information.

    To identify fake reviewsand prevent faulty purchasingdecisions, look for the follow-ing telltale signs:

    1) The statements includeoutrageous, atypical accusa-tions; usually these reviewsare fake or exaggerated.

    2) If similar reviews areposted around the same date,and in the same tone, theres ahigh chance the reviews arefake.

    3) A single unhappy cus-

    tomer typically leaves a re-view that minimally impacts abusiness. Someone committedto significantly damaging abusiness will find ways tosubstantially harm it online,including through false re-views.

    4) Reviews sounding morelike a commercial than anhonest review are oftentimesfalse.

    Companies, professionalsand service organizationstargeted by false online re-views have the right to takeaction against defamers.There are numerous optionsavailable.

    For example, a lawyer canget defamatory content re-moved by obtaining a courtorder and submitting theorder to the website host.

    Cyber investigators canalso identify individuals act-ing anonymously on the In-ternet. Oftentimes, after thefalse reviewers identity isdiscovered the defamatorycontent can be removed.

    Internet defamation isilllegal, and although onlinereview sites are relativelynew defamation has been apart of the law for years.

  • NOVEMBER 6, 2013 SUBURBAN LIFE B3LIFE

    Breast cancer aware-ness month is over. Itwent out with a bang forme in a very special way.I was the presenter onceagain at Mercy HealthWomens Center recep-tion in Anderson Town-ship.

    Stand-ing before100-plusradiantsurvivorswas morethan in-spiring; itshowedthe resil-ience ofthe humanspirit

    when faith is paired withgood medicine.

    My presentation wason the history of tea andtea parties. Some trivia:Did you know the reasoncream was first pouredinto tea was to preventthe very thin, fine chinacups from crackingwhen boiling tea waspoured into them? Also,the earliest tea cups hadno handles. They wereheld cupped in the handsto keep hands warm. Andtea sandwiches wereoriginally made a bit drysince women woregloves and they didntwant to get them soiled.

    We had the best time,laughing and sharingstories. Among thetreats to take home fromGail Greenburg and herstaff were my short-bread cookies. Short-bread is perfect for a teaparty since its such aversatile dough.

    Ritas no-failshortbread cutouts

    Let the kids free form

    shapes or use a cookiecutter. Dough freezeswell, and so does thebaked cookie, sans icing.A nice gift from thekitchen and mymostrequested shortbreadrecipe.

    2 cups flour14 teaspoon baking powder14 teaspoon salt2 sticks unsalted butter,room temperature

    12 cup confectioners sugar2 teaspoons vanilla (or yourfavorite extract)

    Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk togetherflour, salt and bakingpowder. Set aside. Creambutter and gradually add

    sugar. Add vanilla. Blendflour mixture in. Doughwill be soft. Roll out onlightly floured surfaceor between two pieces ofplastic wrap to 14-inchthick or bit thicker if youlike. If the dough is toosoft to cut out shapes,put in refrigerator forabout 30 minutes. Cutout and place on sprayedcookie sheet. Bake 15-20minutes just until edgesare golden.

    IcingWhisk together:

    1 cup confectioners sugar1 teaspoon vanilla2-3 tablespoons water

    Drizzle icing over

    cooled cookies, or makea thicker icing with lesswater, add food coloringif using, and spread oncookies. Makes abouttwo dozen.

    Tips from RitasKitchen

    To test to see if yourbaking powder is stillactive enough to leaven,put a teaspoonful in acup of warm water. Itshould fizz right away.

    Really good ranchdressing

    Im still waiting forsomeone to come up witha Frischs Restaurantranch dressing clone for

    a reader. I have calledKaren Maier at the cor-porate office a couple oftimes and have left mes-sages with Lisa Normanin marketing, so I hopeto hear something soon.Meanwhile, heres arecipe fromMarie N., aNorthwest Press reader.This goes togetherquicker than youd think,and is delicious, shesaid. A friend gave therecipe to her.

    Blend together eitherin blender, food proces-sor or by hand:

    1 cupmayonnaise (Marieuses Hellmans)

    12 cup regular sour cream

    1 teaspoon garlic or to tastePalmful fresh dill, minced1 tablespoonminced freshonion chives (Marie saidyou can also usedmincedgreen onions)

    Worcestershire, salt andblack pepper to taste

    12 to 34 teaspoon clear orcider vinegar

    Several dashes paprikaCayenne pepper to taste(Marie said go easy onthis)

    Buttermilk, enough tomakedesired consistency (startwith 13 cup)

    Handful fresh mincedparsley or 1 teaspoon dry

    Chill several hoursbefore using and, if nec-essary, add more butter-milk to get proper pour-ing consistency.

    Tips from Ritaskitchen

    Pick a perfect pine-apple: It should smellfragrant when you giveit a sniff. Just one cup ofpineapple has enoughmanganese, a trace min-eral, for building healthybones and connectivetissue. Plus pineapplehas lots of vitamin C.Canned pineapple is agood source of thesenutrients too, but buypineapple packed injuice, not in sugary syr-up.

    Scam artists are usingwhat continue to betough economic times for

    many totry to getmoneyfrom them so youneed tobeware.

    Jill, whoprefers Inot use herlast name,wrote shereceived a

    call from aman namedBrian.

    He called my homeand left a long recordedvoicemail threatening me

    and my husband that hewas from the IRS andthat we had to call backimmediately or legalaction would be taken,Jill wrote.

    The man left a phonenumber with a New Yorkarea code and Jill sayswhen she and her hus-band called back, Anoth-er man with an Indianaccent answered andwanted our attorneysname. We said we donthave one and he was verynasty saying, Howmuchmoney can you sendtoday? We said, Maybe athousand dollars by nextThursday, and he said,

    Thats not good enough,you will be arrested to-day!

    Jill said that reallyshook them up becausethey were already on apayment plan with theInternal Revenue Ser-vice, but their next pay-ment wasnt due for an-other month.

    But the so-called IRSman said that paymentplan had been rejected.All the money needed tobe sent immediately, theywere told, or they wouldbe arrested.

    He wanted our bankinformation or creditcard number but we said

    No and the guy hung up.We called our attorneywho said it was a scamIll bet a lot of other peo-ple sent money and stillowe the IRS. Just a headsup because Im sure youare already aware of thiscrazy scam preying oninnocent people, Jillwrote.

    Yes, this scam hasbeen going around for afew years. In some casesthe caller leaves a re-corded message claimingto be from a credit cardcompany, a lawyer or apayday loan company inaddition to claiming to befrom the IRS. The Better

    Business Bureau sayssome of these scammersare out to get moneywhile others are justtrying to get your per-sonal information.

    The BBB says neverreply to unsolicitedphone messages or clickon links provided in anemail asking for yourpersonal information. Ifa caller claims you owe adebt, ask questions. Thecaller should state whothey are, whom theyrepresent and, upon re-quest, send you writtenproof you owe the debt.Never give out financialinformation over the

    phone.Bottom line, if some-

    one calls and tells youtheyll have you arrestedunless you pay themimmediately: Remember,its just a scam. Instead,you should contact thepolice, the state attorneygeneral and the BetterBusiness Bureau to re-port the phone call.
