Santa Claus overcomes illness to make night special in Loveland Chuck Gibson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

More than 50 excited kids greeted Santa Claus with delight as his sleigh came into sight for the annual Christmas with Santa organized by the St. Columban Knights of Columbus Council the evening of Dec. 7 in the parish hall at St. Columban Church in Loveland. A hearty “Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas” was heard as Santa’s wooden sleigh on wheels, pulled by a few volunteer members of the Knights, came into view for all the boys and girls. Mrs. Claus had just ﬁnished reading them the classic Christmas tale “Twas The Night Before Christmas.” They squealed with joy as they heard the familiar greeting from the jolly old elf himself. Santa Claus had come to town. The largest crowd ever, children and parents alike, ﬁlled the parish hall in anticipation of the special annual Christmas event. It was special to see the kids gather around Mrs. Claus (Chris Smith) as she read their favorite Christmas stories. “It makes my Christmas,” said Chris Smith, Mrs. Claus. “It makes my whole year. They’re so fun, so excited. I like that.” Knox Smith has been playing Santa Claus for more than 10 years, for a lot of Christmas events, a lot of kids and for the K of C Christmas with Santa at St. Columban Church every year since it started. It was more special this year to see Santa Claus cheerfully calling each child by name to come up and sit with him as he handed each one a present of their own. You see Knox Smith, in the person of Santa Claus, almost didn’t make it this year. “It’s a blessing he is able to do this,” said Chris, his wife. “He just loves it. He loves all the kids. It’s important to him, to both of us.”

The Blue Manatee bookstore in Oakley is looking for a new owner after 17 years, the current owners have announced. The bookstore has been a staple for young readers since 1989. John Hutton and Sandra Gross purchased the Blue Marble and renamed it the Blue Manatee in 2001. Now they say it's time for someone else to take the helm. "We have had the privilege to get to know and work with some of the kindest, most fantastic and dedicated, impassioned people we have ever known. Truly members of our family, who have enriched our lives beyond measure," the owners said. The couple has their hands in many things. Gross runs Brazee Street Studios. Hutton was recently named the Director of the Reading and Literacy Discovery Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. They both have a hand in the Sleepy Bee Cafe. See BOOKSTORE, Page 1A

center at University Hospital worked diligently to determine what was wrong and how to heal him. It was weeks in the hospital before he was finally moved to the Meadowbrook rehabilitation center. “It was pretty traumatic,” said Smith. “The first thing I remember was actually waking up at Meadwobrook rehab. They took good care of me.” Smith faced months-long rehabilitation learning to walk, talk, dress, and do everyday things for himself. They asked him to set goals the first day. “I told them right then and there, Santa Claus is coming to town,” Smith recalled. “I gotta get outta here and on my feet by early December for those kids. I think I made pretty significant progress for what they were thinking.” See SANTA CLAUS, Page 1A

Indian Hill Braves are giving back Chuck Gibson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Students from all of the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District are giving back in a big way this holiday season and beyond. The numbers tell a story of both poverty and goodwill. 4,000 needy students and families from 11 different Cincinnatiarea schools received 3,400 pounds of food donated by some 600 Indian Hill High School students in time for Thanksgiving. “Students helping students – that is what this project is all about," said IHHS teacher Anne Kuhn. Donations went to schools with high rates of free and reduced lunch to sustain students and their families during the holiday break. The “Brave Family” reach extends beyond the holidays. Students continue raising money to purchase, donate and deliver food donations themselves. Coordinated by Cincinnati’s Childhood Food Solutions, IHHS students with the Kids Feed Club spend one Sunday every month packing 500 bags of food for distribution to students in need. “This is part of who we are as a Brave Family,” said IHHS Principal Jeff Damadeo. “Service learning is core to our instructional practices within Indian Hill High School. Last school year, 643 IHHS Braves volunteered more than 40,500 hours.” Giving doesn’t end with the high school. Indian Hill Primary & Elementary School students collected and donated 5,650 food items for Inter Parish Ministry Food Pantry, and Symmes Township Fire & Rescue. That was November. On Dec. 7, three large bins had already been filled with canned goods and nonperishable items by Indian Hill Middle School students for a Magnified Giving food collection drive. It begins in the Braves' classrooms, stretches around a diverse global community, and does not

end with holiday giving. “Service learning is very important,” said IHMS Principal Jennifer Ulland. “We decided it would be great for our students to have a day of service learning; where they get out into the community to learn what it means to give back not only in donation but in time.” A student survey identiﬁed potential organizations where they could serve. They selected 10 diverse locations for the scheduled service learning day May 10, 2019. The survey also asked for students interested in leading the eﬀort. The role requires them to make a presentation of the organization, sign up students, and work directly with a lead teacher on the activities for the service day. Sydney Frost and Conrad Bennett are two of the eighth-grade student leaders. “Over the summer I went to Leader in

nett said. “They’re asking for socks. We’re privileged and we get that kind of stuﬀ. We need to help these people so they can survive and not be cold at night.” Bennett will lead students in a drive for supplies and make activity bags they’ll deliver to the kids at Ronald McDonald House. The Brave Family of students and teachers will provide service at 10 separate locations in May. “Service in general at Indian Hill is part of who we are,” said Ulland. “It starts in primary school and runs all the way through graduation. Getting the kids out into the community; a lot of them will see the impact they had on whatever service trip they go on.” They’ll serve at places like Our Daily Bread downtown, Stepping Stones and Valley View Nature Preserve in the Indian Hill and Milford area and at Gorman Farm, the Brookdale Retirement Home, Operation Gives Back and others. Serving ﬁrsthand is a powerful way to learn the impact of humanitarian giving. “I just feel like not everybody is born into the same household,” Bennett said. “Sometimes that can be unfair so you have to help them get into a better situation.” Indian Hill teachers have shown Bennett the importance of helping others by supporting many charitable causes. “I’m hoping we can help more people,”

Training at Kids First,” said Frost, who chose Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank because of her experience there over the summer. “They give diapers to people who don’t have the money to buy them. Just think, you’re helping people who don’t necessarily have the money to buy diapers. Raising a child is expensive.” Frost didn’t expect sorting diapers to be fun, or even that impactful. Turning it into a competition to get the most done in an hour made it fun and made her think about the number of babies they may be saving from infection. She’ll be presenting Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank for students to join her in service there in May. Conrad Bennett will make his presentation for Ronald McDonald House.

St. Martin built Santa’s sleigh on wheels, Sherwin-Williams and Nisbet Brower donated the materials needed. “We were fearing the worst,” said Bob Metzger, Grand Knight of St. Columban K. of C. “I think everybody here is amazed that Knox made such a recovery.” Smith made it back to be Santa Claus for Christmas with Santa and Mrs. Claus at St. Columban that December Friday evening. He saw the faces of those children, his fellow Knights too. “To see all those kids and their faces, that was the goal,” he said. “St. Columban kids are the politest, most well-behaved kids we’ve been around.”

Bringing Santa Claus to town for those kids, and Breakfast with Santa in Loveland the next morning, was the inspiration Smith needed to make a miraculous recovery. “We love what Knox and Chris do,” said Paula Metzger, wife of the Grand Knight. “For them to bring joy to the kids and joy to themselves makes this day very special.” And Santa Claus closed the story with a very healthy and hardy: “Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!” More about St. Columban Catholic Church in Loveland at: www.stcolumban.org

said Frost. “What if us going in for an hour helped another 300 families? Think of the impact. That makes me smile knowing other people are helped because we did something.” Hearing and knowing the passion Sydney Frost has for Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, IHMS Principal Jennifer Ulland summed up the goal for service learning within the Brave Family at Indian Hill Schools. “We want students to find their passion and find where they can make a difference,” she said.

"For the past few years, I have tried to balance these things, to the detriment of my health and well-being, but I must ﬁnally accept that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day, or neurotransmitters in my brain to do this in an eﬀective or sustainable way," Hutton said in the announcement. They said they are looking for someone to take over the brick and mortar store, as well as online operations. If a new owner can't be found by Jan. 1, doors will close. Hutton said they will consider all proposals, as long as someone can carry on the tradition of providing the best in children’s books, including activitie and gift items, quality programming and author events. Other requirements are "championing values of tolerance, community, imagination, and a smackerel of insurgency." Interested parties can reach out at contact@bluemanateebooks.com.

Rotary brings early Christmas to students with disabilities The Cafeteria of Roselawn Condon School was a sea of bobbing holiday balloons as “Jingle Bells” tinkled on the school piano and 122 children, most with physical or developmental disabilities, feasted on cake, ice cream and attention. Suddenly, the jingle was real bells and a split-second hush of expectation turned into a rush into the arms of Santa. Welcome to the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s longest holiday tradition, a huge party for students with disabilities, complete with games, music, food, a magician and Santa bearing gifts. Wrapping paper was ripped away to reveal a

scooter, a Barbie doll, a Spiderman web slinger, remote control cars, games, coats, party clothes and stuﬀed animals. Children with limited movement or struggling with a tightly tied ribbon got help unwrapping. An army of Rotarians moved among the children, assembling and adding batteries. “We look forward to this every year,” said Roselawn Condon School Principal Harry Voll. “For some of our families, this is the only celebration they will have.” See ROTARY, Page 6A Rotary Club President Rick Flynn of Evendale; Event co-chair Terri Boeing of Anderson Township and Rotarian Rich Dineen of Montgomery.

“We house the most medically fragile and more children with multiple disabilities than any other school in the district. Rotarian Terri Boeing of Anderson Township co-chaired the party. “Students fill out gift request cards in September and October and Rotary members take the gift tags and buy gifts,” she said. “The party is a huge undertaking, but it comes together like clockwork,” Boeing said. Rotary members show up with boxes of decorations, holiday craft supplies and games. Busken Bakery donates cakes. UDF donates ice cream. Brendamour Moving & Storage transports all the gifts. This year more than 50 Rotary members volunteered at the event, doing everything from balloon duty and cutting cake to entertaining and sweeping up. Besides gifts for the children, each teacher received flowers and a gift card and the Rotarians donated $1,000 to the school to buy communication devices. Brad Green of Evendale said the event warms his heart. “This starts my Christmas season every year,” he said. “You smile and smile and smile.” More than a century ago, local Rotarians realized children with disabilities were not part of the school system. The Rotary organized the city’s first education programs for children with disabilities at Cincinnati General Hospital in 1919. “Our rotary members went all over the country to learn what was state-ofthe-art in education for students with disabilities,” Atkins said. The Rotary Club helped pay for the teachers, educational supplies and even band instruments. Those in-hospital classes eventually drew students with disabilities from across the city. In 1925, the program moved to its own building and became

the Cincinnati Public School’s Randall J. Condon School for Crippled Children - a cutting edge program for children with physical disabilities. In 1982, Condon School merged with Roselawn School, creating Roselawn Condon School in Roselawn, providing individual support and a challenging academic curriculum for all children, including a strong focus on students with physical and developmental challenges. Christmas gifts and support for the school the Rotary started has been a tradition for more than nine decades. But the giving goes both ways, say Rotary members. “After you come the ﬁrst time, you can’t not come back,” said Rotarian Bill Powell of Fort Thomas. “When you see the look on the kids’ faces, you realize they’re giving you the best gift of all.

I have been waiting to share this special recipe Giant cinnamon roll The recipe called for bread flour. All I had was all-purpose, so I just used a little more. That substitution may not work in all recipes, but it worked ﬁne in this one.

Butter or spray pan. Roll dough out on very lightly floured surface to a 9x12” rectangle, about 1/4” thick.

If you like, right after you frost it, sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans.

Spread dough with butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, patting the mixture in as you go.

Ingredients for roll

Cut into six 11⁄2” x 12” strips.

1 round cake pan, 9”

Loosely roll up 1 strip and place in center of pan.

1 package active dry yeast, (0.25 oz.) 3

⁄4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)

⁄4 cup granulated sugar + pinch for feeding yeast

⁄2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, room temperature 3 cups all-purpose flour or 2 1⁄2 cups bread flour ⁄4 cup butter, softened

⁄2 cup packed brown sugar

Add rest of strips, loosely coiling them around the center spiral of dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 325. Bake 25-35 minutes or until top is golden and dough in center is set, not gummy. A toothpick inserted in center will come out clean. (mine took 25 minutes). Let cool 10 minutes then frost with cream cheese frosting.

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Frosting

Instead of individual rolls you get a super-sized spiraled cinnamon roll.

Instructions

RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Dissolve yeast in warm water, adding a pinch of sugar to speed up the proofing process. Give it a stir. Let stand until foamy, around 5 minutes or so.

Beat 3 oz. cream cheese, softened, 2 tablespoons butter, softened, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 1-3 tablespoons milk and a dash of vanilla. Or make a simple glaze with 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon or bit more of water, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Rita’s Kitchen

Place in mixing bowl and mix in granulated sugar and salt.

I could hardly wait to share this giant cinnamon roll recipe with you. The recipe intrigued me – instead of individual rolls you get a super-sized spiraled cinnamon roll, pretty and easy to serve. Check out my site abouteating.com for a photo tutorial. Now don’t forget about the true meaning of Christmas and this holiday season - it’s about family and friends getting together. Remember, it’s not just about the food, but who shares it with you. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com . Email her at rita@communitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Add egg and 1 cup flour and mix well to combine. Mixture will be real sticky. Continue adding flour until nice dough forms. It may or may not leave the sides of the bowl. That’s OK. Turn out onto a very lightly floured board and knead a few minutes. It will be as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Cover with damp cloth and let rest 10 minutes.

Serves 8-12. Tips: Substituting rapid rise yeast. Yes, you can. This will speed up the rising process a bit. Freeze it. Cool, then wrap well and freeze, unfrosted, for up to 3 weeks. Wrap in foil to rewarm and then frost it.

Viewpoints Protect your holiday packages from being stolen Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

Online shopping is a great time saver during the holiday season, but the shipped packages left on the doorstep provide a great opportunity for theft. According to insurancequotes.com, 26 million Americans have had holiday packages stolen from their homes since 2015. This often happens because people aren’t home when items are delivered, allowing thieves, also known as “porch pirates”, the chance to follow delivery drivers and pick up unattended parcels. Sources from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service say mail theft is a federal oﬀense, and if prosecuted, carries a ﬁve-year jail sentence for the criminal. Although it’s impossible to delay the delivery of items ordered, there are a few ways to prevent them from being stolen. “The best way to make sure your package is safe is to promptly remove mail from your mailbox or porch shortly after it arrives,” said Kathryn Woliung, Postal Inspector. “Consider starting a neighborhood watch program. By exchanging work and vacation schedules with trusted friends and neighbors, you can watch each other’s mailboxes and residences.”

SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS, COLUMNS

Another option is to have items sent to your work address if you have permission from your employer. Your packages are then delivered to a secure location with little chance of them being stolen. Some homeowners have taken steps to prevent daytime robberies - like package or mail theft - by installing webcams or smart security systems with cameras pointed directly at their driveway or front door. This allows the resident to monitor who is approaching their home. If they’re a victim of theft, the video recording can be used as proof when ﬁling a police report. “Video images are helpful because you have an image of the thief unless of course, they aren’t looking at the camera,” said Woliung. “If you combine this image with U.S. Postal Services tracking scan information, which records the exact time of delivery, then you can include all of this information on the police report.” If you don’t have a nearby relative or a trustworthy neighbor, consider renting a Post Oﬃce box or utilizing a brick and mortar pick-up site like the UPS Store. Before using these services, make sure to read and understand the rental agreement. Online ordering has made it simple to shop quickly both during the holidays and the rest of the year, but having your items delivered requires a little extra caution. When placing your order, think about where

YMCA receives tricycles from cyclery, rotary, and students Twenty-eight high school students from 13 Cincinnati area high schools assembled tricycles for the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati during an annual threeday program on entrepreneurship. The program, Camp Enterprise, was put on by The Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati at Camp Kern in Oregonia, Ohio. As the students were working on their business plans and pitches, they were called out for an exercise. They were met with eight tables of unassembled tricycles, generously provided by Montgomery Cyclery. Their mission was for each team to assemble their tricycle using nonverbal communication between them. The exercise challenged the students to learn to work together without the means of talking to each other. When complete, the students were told that the bikes would be donated. “We tried to create a multi-layered exercise, developing team work, communication skills, and ﬁnally an understanding of being socially responsible,” said Tom Rotz, the Rotarian chairperson for Camp Enterprise. “Afterwards, two of our groups added a charitable component to their business plans, which was the impact we were hoping for.” Trish Kitchell, VP of Youth Development for the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati

was on hand to accept the donation and inform the students on the impact they would be making on the children the YMCA serves. The Richard E. Lindner YMCA provides preschool to children

ages 3-5 years old. Through this program, children are prepared for kindergarten through education, play, and social development. Most of the families served fall below the poverty line and 70

percent of the children are on child care subsidy through Hamilton County or YMCA scholarship. The preschool program does not have a playground or green space, so they often play in a blocked oﬀ portion of the parking lot. Ride-on toys, bikes, or tricycles would be a great addition to their gross motor play. Gross motor play helps the children develop physically and socially as they learn how to share and interact with their peers. “We can’t thank Montgomery Cyclery and the students enough for the impact they are making on our communities,” said Lynnotta Wright, Richard E. Lindner Program Director. “Rotary continues to touch so many lives in so many ways, and this is a perfect example of it.” Rotary is a service organization with over one million members worldwide. Along with the student programs, the Northeast Cincinnati Club members also volunteer their time and resources for local and international projects, donating over 1,100 volunteer hours and $59,000 last year alone. The Club meets weekly at the Quality Hotel in Blue Ash at Noon each Tuesday and is welcoming new members. More information can be found at BAMRotary.com or Rotary.org.

This holiday, invest in building strong relationships This is the time of year when we want to show our friends and family how much we care about them. As you make your to-do list and look at your budget, consider the gift of your time.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO

One way to build strong relationships with children and adults is to show that we enjoy being with them. Set aside time for activities to do together, whether it’s sharing a meal or going to a holiday-themed event. Acknowledge people by name for who they are, not just what they do. The Search Institute, a nonprofit organization that studies and works to strengthen youth, outlines some ways we can build relationships. While focused on youth, many of these tips could apply to people of any age.

Springer student art to appear on journal cover The Journal of Learning Disabilities has chosen the artwork of Springer School and Center seventh-grader Abby Beutel to be featured on the journal’s cover in 2019. Each year, the scientiﬁc journal selects three works of art from those submitted by students with learning disabilities from across the country. Beutel’s work is an African mask constructed from plaster and celluclay, and embellished with paint, foam and fur. The design for the mask, a lion’s face, was inspired by Beutel’s love of animals. “Our art teacher showed us some pictures, and I decided to design my mask after an African animal, the lion,” Abby said. “My goal is to someday be a veterinarian.” Beutel is in Corrinne Thaler’s art class at Springer School and Center, a Hyde Park school devoted to the education of students with learning disabilities in grades 1 - 8. Springer School and Center Summit Middle School students earned spots in the Ohio Music Education Association District 14 Honor Band. They are from left: Darnell Baldwin, Jack Hollenbeck, Tarek Hasan and David Schnitter. NANCY BERLIER, THE SUMMIT COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL/PROVIDED

Summit Middle School students selected for OMEA Honor Band Eighth graders Darnell Baldwin, Wyoming, and Jack Hollenbeck, Mason, and seventh graders Tarek Hasan, East Walnut Hills, and David Schnitter, Clermont County’s Union Township earned acceptance into the Ohio Music Education Association District 14 Honor Band. Darnell plays trombone while Tarek and Jack play the trumpet. David plays

the clarinet. In front of a judge, every auditioning student performed the same selection and had to complete a piece they had not seen nor practiced. Summit was one of only three Catholic schools with students on the list. “This is basically the musical equivalent of an all-Star team, the top stu-

dents from all schools in the Hamilton County area,” said Robert Browning, Director of Instrumental Music. Darnell, Tarek, Jack and David will rehearse with the band three times and then will perform a public concert at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 13 at Princeton High School.
