Turf Club closing unrelated to complaint settlement Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cornell Beckley was sentenced to 19 years, with credit for nearly two years already served, for the mass shooting at the Cameo nightclub in 2017. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Mom of Cameo victim: Gunman didn’t ‘deserve’ long sentence of 19 years

When Terry’s Turf Club announced it was closing, many speculated that it could be connected to the sexual discrimination complaint that was filed earlier this year, but the attorney for the woman who filed the complaint said the two things are unrelated. On Sunday, Terry’s Turf Club announced that it will be closing after 12 years in business because owner Terry Carter is retiring. Terry’s rose to popularity after the restaurant and its burger menu with an extensive offering of toppings and sauces was featured on Guy Fieri’s “Diners Drive-ins and Dives” in 2010. This fall, Carter became the focus of backlash after a female employee said he told her to “keep her legs open” after See TURF CLUB, Page 4A

It was unclear if any of the surviving victims of the worst mass shooting in Cincinnati’s history were in the courtroom Friday, Dec. 7, as the only man charged was sentenced to 19 years in prison. One side of the courtroom was packed with family and friends of Cornell Beckley, who investigators believe fired at least 16 gunshots inside the crowded Cameo nightclub that night. Besides Beckley, his attorney and a prosecutor, only two people made statements during the sentencing in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court: Beckley’s mother and the mother of 27-year-old O’Bryan Spikes, one of the two people killed. Fifteen people were wounded in the gunfire. In an extremely unusual moment, Spikes’ mother, Raquel Mitchell, said Beckley didn’t deserve a 19-year sentence. “I don’t feel this whole incident is his fault,” she told Judge Steven Martin. “I know for a fact he wasn’t the only one that deserves to be here. I don’t believe he deserves to have 19 years.” Beckley, 28, and Spikes were described in court as friends. Spikes was not involved in the gunfight and was killed by a stray bullet, according to a civil lawsuit filed on his behalf. Beckley stood on a stage and fired multiple shots from a small, .25-caliber pistol before a club bouncer tackled him. Beckley eventually fled. Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor David Prem said investigators determined that at least one of those rounds struck someone in the leg.

The second man killed, 29-year-old Deandre Davis, was accused of ﬁring a .40-caliber Glock. Davis would have faced charges had he survived, according to prosecutors. He was critically injured – but not by a .25-caliber round – and died more than a week later. His family said he was innocent. No one else has been charged. There was evidence a 9mm weapon also was used, although that gun wasn’t found.

struction of justice, tampering with evidence and other weapons charges. While in jail awaiting trial, Beckley and others worked to identify witnesses and bribe them to either change their stories or leave town, prosecutors said, so they wouldn’t be available to testify. On that Friday, Martin handed down a sentence that had been agreed upon as part of a plea deal. Beckley’s attorney, Christopher McDowell, said that although Beckley takes responsibility for what happened, he “did not kill anyone.” “There are many other people who were involved who are at large who are not before the court,” McDowell said. Under questioning from Martin, he acknowledged that Beckley was complicit in the deaths, even if he didn’t fire the fatal shots. It has been estimated that approximately 800 people were inside the East End club on March 26, 2017 when gunfire erupted. At least eight surviving victims are involved in a lawsuit against the former club’s owner. Some still have bullets in their bodies, their attorney said. One was shot in the head and spent more than a month recovering in a hospital. The lawsuit filed on behalf of Spikes said the former club’s owner, Julian Rodgers, allowed some people to bypass security and enter through a special entrance, without being checked for weapons. It said Rodgers charged additional money to people who used the alternate entrance, extracting additional profit. Photographer Liz Dufour contributed to this report.

Nextdoor post reunites woman with stolen ring Sheila Vilvens

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Davina Cox thought her high school class ring was gone forever. Earlier this month things changed when friends told her about a post on Nextdoor by West Clermont School District employee Jennifer Fehn. Looking for Davina Cox. Found a class ring from Glen Este from 1991. All inscriptions lead to a person named Davina Cox. If you know who this person is, please respond to this. Thanks! “Within minutes, readers began responding to me and within a half hour, Davina herself called me,” Fehn Davina Cox said. “She picked it up that night.” Turns out, the women live just minutes from each other. The class ring was stolen, along with a couple of other rings, from a jewelry box around 2007, Cox said. When friends started messaging her on Facebook earlier this month about Fehn’s post, she said she was in disbelief. “It was like the greatest Christmas miracle ever,” Cox said. Persistence, patience and a bit of luck all came into play in Fehn’s eﬀorts to locate the ring’s rightful owner. The lost ring showed up earlier this year on the

receptionist's desk of the West Clermont School District. It just laid around waiting for someone to claim it. When no one did, Fehn said she made her first Nextdoor post about the ring. That post went unanswered. Fehn decided if the ring’s owner was to be found, more information was needed. Using personalized information on the ring, Fehn said the district’s student services staff searched files for past students. Fehn said she is thankful everything turned out the way it did. “I’m so thankful for the original person who turned the ring into the West Clermont Local School District office and grateful to the student services department for taking their time to pursue the owner,” she said. “The rest, my part, was easy thanks to social media. That fact that Glen Este High School does not exist anymore makes it even more special. What a wonderful Christmas present for her.”

Police: man fraudulently withdrew money from banks Sheila Vilvens

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police are asking for help in identifying a man they say used fraudulent information to withdraw money from five Fifth Third Bank locations on the east side of Cincinnati. Milford Police describe the man as an older, white male. He withdrew $24,000 from one couple’s bank account, according to Milford Police Detective Russ Kenney. The incidents occurred between Nov. 25 and 28. Kenney declined to offer specifics of locations and total dollar amounts taken but said the Fifth Third Bank locations targeted were in the Milford and Eastgate area of Union Township, Clermont County, and Anderson Township. Anyone with information is asked to contact Kenney by phone, (513) 5765471, or email, rkenney@milfordohio.org.

she was fired, according to a viral Facebook post. The employee, Evelyn Marie Reid, said she was fired for no reason. Later, she filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Her attorney, Randy Freking, confirmed that Reid and Carter settled the issue last Wednesday, five days before the closure was announced. Freking said it’s a coincidence that the two things happened so close together. He said the two are “completely

unrelated.” “Anybody who thinks that these two things are related isn’t thinking rationally,” Freking said. “The settlement is not significant enough to make the business close.” Freking said he gives Carter credit for coming to an agreement instead of closing first and making the situation more difficult. Freking did not comment on the amount of the settlement but said that Reid found employment shortly after being fired from the turf club. “(Reid is) very happy with the settlement. She wants this behind her and she’s happy that she stood up.” Freking said. “It’s time for more women to speak up. It’s 2018, not 1958.”

Milford, a city of 6,700 in Clermont County, is having a tough time selling bonds related to construction of a $30 million soccer practice facility in partnership with FC Cincinnati. Dollars generated by the new 1 percent lodging tax in Clermont County will not be disbursed to Milford as previously approved by the Clermont County Commissioners. Instead, the dollars, which the county began collecting in October, will be placed in a savings account managed by the county auditor. The money will remain there until Milford issues debt as planned for its shared cost of land for the FC Cincinnati practice facility. The commissioners approved the change during their Dec. 12 meeting. FC Cincy is building a $30 million practice and training facility in Milford. Milford committed to paying $3.5 million of the $5 million cost of land for the facility. FC is paying the remaining $1.5 million. Milford has experienced challenges in selling the bonds as planned. This prompted the action by the county commissioners. City Manager Michael Doss did not return requests for comments regarding bond sales. Last month council authorized a new cooperative agreement between the city, the Clermont Convention and Visitors Bureau, Clermont County Port Authority, and FCC Training Facility LLC. It was a similar action to at least three others the city has taken in recent

months beginning in July. City documents show that the newly approved legislation served several purposes. One of them involved Milford’s ability to issue debt and reimburse FCC Training Facility LLC $3.5 million of the soccer facility. The new cooperative agreement also included terms relating to Milford’s contribution of the land to the county’s Port Authority, and the Port Authority’s subsequent lease of the land to FCC Training Facility LLC.

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 21⁄2 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.

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.”

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. 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 it should be delivered and whether it’s a safe spot. Additional tips for timely delivery and package safety is available from the U.S. Postal Service at usps.com.

On Nov. 1, one of my children sent a text to our family group chat announcing that it is now acceptable to listen to Christmas music. While this is actually a bit late in the year for at least some members of the family, the broader social consensus is probably that this is way too early. But, as “Christmas comes but once a year,” our family would rather err on the side of excess merriment than moderate reserve. To be sure, we should not overlook the important season of Advent, as a time of preparation and anticipation. But even this solemn time of waiting and preparing should itself be incorporated into a time of joyous celebration. Advent, after all, only has purpose because it culminates in Christmas. The days and nights of Advent derive their very meaning from the Christmas morning to which they direct our attention – the day that Christians believe that God, himself, entered our world, with all the messy, chaotic, rapturous joy that that implies. A few years ago, the novelist and essayist, Joseph Bottum, wrote an article in the journal, Public Discourse, entitled, “Joyous Surrender: A Rhapsody in Red (and Green),” in which he extolled the extravagance and indulgence of Christmas. Bottum cited St. Francis, who “points toward something about the wonder and the mess of the Incarnation: the shattering of ordinary life that the Nativity declares. The smash of predictability, the breaking of attempts at elegant organization.” In other words, God’s purpose in becoming man and entering into our world was precisely for the purpose of disrupting it: of startling us with his incarnation, the central mystery of Christian revelation and the greatest of all divine miracles. (After all, if inﬁnite God can enter into time and become ﬁnite man, his later resurrection from the dead should not surprise us.) If that is not cause for reckless, chaotic celebration, then nothing can be! And, of course, reuniting with distant family (geographical or otherwise) also contributes to the joy of Christmas. We don’t celebrate alone, but rather come together to share the joy in which

we jointly participate. We are united in food and drink, television shows and movies, and, yes, Christmas music: from the sublime to the sentimental, from the elegant to the tacky, from “Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring” to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” to “Frosty the Snowman.” It is all part of the boisterous, joyous chaos that accompanies the Good News that God is coming to us, to bring us hope and joy. Indeed, to bring us new life. That is a God – and a promise – worth celebrating with happy abandon. Thus, in the words of Joseph Bottum, “Give me trees drooping under the weight of their ornaments. . . . Give me houses so lit up that the neighbors dream at night of sunstroke. Fruit cakes so dense they threaten to develop their own black-hole event horizons. Gingerbread cottages and Mouse King nutcrackers and wreaths on every door and silly Christmas cards and eggnog so nutmegged that the schoolchildren carolers cough and sputter as they try manfully to gulp it down.” Throw in Amazon packages mysteriously arriving at the door, presents accumulating under the tree, the smells of pine and ginger and cinnamon and cocoa, warming the house by the very thought of them. In other words, give me the disruptive, exuberant joy of Christmas, with all its sights and smells and tastes and sounds. Let us praise the chaos of Christmas as we praise the God who has entered into time, to give us the gift of Himself.

Pain couldn’t keep Anderson’s Brooke Peters oﬀ the pitch Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When Anderson senior midfielder Brooke Peters found the net in the Redskins' season-opening win over Seton Aug. 18, it was not just another goal. Rather, it was a significant moment where Peters' determination to continue playing despite several hindrances came to fruition with one swift kick of the ball. Prior to the 2018 season, the last time Peters had played for Anderson she was often forced to run perched on her tiptoes while battling Exertional Compartment Syndrome for the majority of the year. According to Mayo Clinic, the condition is exercise-induced and causes pain, swelling and sometimes disability in the affected muscles of your legs or arms. Peters first noticed a problem with both legs in mid-September 2017 during a home match against ECC-rival Milford. Typically, Peters would play an entire 80minute game with little to no complications. Now she was barely able to endure five-minute stretches on the field. "I started to feel cramping in my calf muscles and it made my ankles feel really weak," Peters recalled. "I went to the trainer and we couldn't really figure out what was wrong. I tried stretching, icing and heating, but nothing was really helping." Anderson athletic trainer Brittany Gebing said the situation continued to worsen as the season progressed. "She would have to keep a roller on the sideline or keep a lacrosse ball in her bag," Gebing said. "She would have to come out every 10 minutes or so and she'd roll or stretch, anything to get her through a game. You could just tell by her face how painful it was." Anderson head coach Andy Boyd said pulling Peters from any given match was a difficult task. "She would get mad at me when I would take her out. We would have some spirited debates," Boyd said. Peters visited a calf specialist after Anderson's season ended with a district

playoff loss to future D-I state-champion Loveland. When Exertional Compartment Syndrome was the diagnosis, Peters first felt relief, finally having an answer to the pain. But with that answer came doubt about her soccer future when

doctors revealed that her pressure readings were higher than they had ever seen. "There are four compartments and most people get it (Exertional Compartment Syndrome) in one. Brooke happened to have it in all four," Gebing said. Peters remembers: "The fascia surrounding my muscle compartments was not expanding, which caused the pressure and burning. Additionally, the blood vessels and nerves going in and out of the compartments were getting pinched, causing numbness and deterioration of muscle tissue. My doctor shared that the syndrome could advance to the point of requiring amputation. I was kinda terrified." Peters required surgery and would have to miss the entire fall club season and a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina - and there was no guarantee she would be the same soccer player when she returned. In most cases, patients feel immediate relief from the surgery as the burning and tightness subsides. Peters would soon discover she was not like most patients as she began what doctors had predicted would be a two-month recovery process that would have her back on the field in time for spring club season. During rehab, Peters eased into running on an anti-gravity treadmill and slowly began increasing the amount of body weight until she reached 95 percent. She made the leap and attempted to run on a regular treadmill and suffered a setback as the burning, the tightness and the agony made an unfortunate return. "I have nightmares thinking about that feeling. I had a setback and freaked out. That was super discouraging," Peters said. Symptoms of Exertional Compartment Syndrome reoccur in less than 18 percent of surgical cases, according to a study by Amy G. Schubert, a physical therapist at the University of Wisconsin Hospital. Peters had a pair of 5-inch incisions on each side of her calves but had an allergic reaction to the sutures that re-

UC Clermont women’s soccer wins 2018 USCAA DII national title Taylor Greene thought she was done playing soccer forever. Three years later, she and her University of Cincinnati Clermont teammates hoisted a national championship trophy. The Cougars won the 2018 USCAA Women’s Division II title, defeating Penn State Brandywine, 2-0. Greene scored the match’s ﬁrst goal, and assisted on the second. It was the ﬁrst women’s soccer national championship in UC-Clermont history. The 2014 Xenia High School graduate originally committed to Northern Kentucky University. After one year, she transferred to Urbana University. That didn’t work out for her, either. She felt burnt out on the sport that she had played virtually her entire life. “After that season (at Urbana) ended, I didn’t know what I wanted to do in school. I felt like I really didn’t know myself. All my life, I’d played soccer and the goal was always to play college soccer. I

quired a two-month stay at the Wound Center as doctors re-opened the scars on both legs and dug out the infection. Boyd describes his honorable mention all-ECC player has a fighter on and off the field. But no soccer game could prepare Peters for the battle she faced trying to get back. She was on crutches for parts of rehab, watching soccer practices from afar and finding herself jealous of teammates running sprints in the hot, sweltering sun. "I would just have to sit there," Peters remembers. "When I was playing, I would dread having to run sprints. But watching people do it, and me not being able to, all I wanted to do was get back on that field and run. That really kept me going." Peters got her chance six months after she had the surgery. She was medically cleared to return in May 2018 and scored a goal in her first game back with Kings Hammer Academy and was 100 percent when her senior season at Anderson came around. That unmatched toughness earned praise from her peers. "When people go through something so serious like that, they usually play a little timid," said Gebing, who continued to work with Peters each day in the trainer's room. "I was very shocked at how quickly she came back. She was wanting to do more and more every day. If you didn't see the scars on her legs, you

would have no clue she went through anything like that." Boyd added: "She never quits. By the time I see her again, she was doing whatever it took to get back to us in the fall." Both Boyd and Gebing described Peters as tough on multiple occasions. It's hard to argue with that perception, as it takes a certain degree of physical and mental resiliency to have your legs opened up twice over a six-month span, then return to the playing ﬁeld with the same unrivaled tenacity. But for Peters, who was named a team captain at Anderson, the trials of injury were a learning experience as she became well-informed in hard work, discipline and patience. Being tough is one thing, but staying oﬀ your feet for two months while juggling a load of AP and honors courses in school often felt worse than the jagged bumps of the scars inhabiting her lower legs. Limping around on crutches through the Anderson hallways showed her how far a simple gesture from a caring classmate could resonate while struggling with everyday tasks most take for granted. "I now make sure that I am looking out for others with that same kind of compassion and empathy and have committed to approaching everything with a more positive and appreciative attitude," Peters said. "I have some grisly scars on my legs as proof of what I have overcome. But I am also armed with an improved outlook on life, which will serve me well as I face challenges in the future."

and win.” Callahan was worried that after a two-year layoff, Greene would not be in peak soccer condition. He was right. Greene was vomiting by the end of her first practice with the Cougars. But she remained committed, and her hard work paid off. She finished the season with 17 assists and scored 18 goals. “I can’t say enough good things about Taylor Greene. She took two years off of playing soccer altogether. She’s just a different kind of athlete,” said Callahan. “She’s got a drive like nobody else. She plays up top as a striker but will drop back to the midfield and help us defend. She’s got a knack for the goal. Some girls just have a way of putting the ball in the net and she’s certainly got that.” Greene did not know a single player on the roster when she moved down to Cincinnati by herself. Her teammates quickly accepted her and the team chemistry keyed this 14-2 season. “That’s probably the most important thing, getting girls to buy in to what we’re doing so quickly,” said Callahan. “The experienced players do a really good job of welcoming our new players and setting the tone for what our program expects.” Glen Este grads Taylor Mallucky and Kat Richey, Anderson grad Sara Ventura, and Amelia grad Anna Tessof led the most successful season in the program’s four-year history.

from Morehead State, was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. “Honestly, this is the first team I’ve ever been on that’s actually felt like a real team, like a whole. We just worked well together,” said Greene. “I’m one out of the 20 people that contributed in this journey. Everybody played and everybody did their part.” In the final, the Cougars jumped out to an early 1-0 lead. Tessof remained stout in goal, and the defense played solid in front of her. “We were accustomed to playing with the lead this season. We always have the same goals and same intensity every game. The second half did feel like it was about four hours long,” said Callahan. “We came in with a game plan to limit the touches of the leading scorer and we assigned Taylor Mallucky to that and she did a fantastic job.” When the final whistle blew, the reaction was an outpouring of emotion. “It was surreal. All that hard work that they put in all these months. It’s a culmination of all the stress and hard work,” said Callahan. “It’s a weight lifted off of our shoulders. It was a great feeling.” Three years after she thought her soccer career was over, Greene was being sized for a national championship ring. With 16 players returning for the Cougars next year, the players have turned their sights to reaching their goal of a repeat. “That was the best, most amazing moment of my life. It was unbelievable, it was definitely emotional,” said Greene. “We’re going to come back stronger and better than ever.”

Keep an eye on your elderly neighbors Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

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. • Express care: Show youth that you enjoy being with them. • Challenge growth: Help your children to see possibilities for their own futures. • Provide support: Guide and encourage children as they work to complete tasks and achieve goals. • Share power: Take children’s ideas seriously. Work together to solve problems and reach goals.

This holiday, invest in building strong relationships

Howdy folks. It won’t be long until Christmas. The Grange, Bethel Lions and I adopted three seniors from the Bethel area. Paula and I went to Walmart last Monday and shopped for the seniors and then took the gifts over to the center on Front Wheel Drive. The gifts just about filled the room. It shows how folks are generous for the seniors. On Monday, Dan and I delivered gifts to several senior’s homes. It is important that we are concerned about our senior citizens and to be able to help them when they need it. The senior citizen organizations do a wonderful job. The deer season has been good with a good harvest. Bow season will be longer, but with the cold weather the bow won’t shoot as straight as it would in warmer weather. A neighbor told me they saw a coyote playing with a mouse. They said the coyote would throw the mouse up in the air then run and catch it. This went on for about 15 minutes then the coyote ran off with the mouse. These folks see several coyotes each year. It seems we have some celebrities in our area. A lady that runs a florist shop in Amelia and some other ladies made a red berry Christmas tree for the White House. This is special, for some of our ladies to do this, congratulations from the Ole Fisherman. Last Saturday the folks from the Bethel Methodist Church had a Yankee

swap at a neighbors’ house. There were about 53 folks there. You could swipe a gift that a person had already opened or pick a wrapped gift. I had my gift swiped four times then I drew another one. It was a fun evening. Thanks to the good Lord for such great fellowship. The birds are sure enjoying the thistle seed and the bird feed along with the squirrels. I stopped at the Carnies Feedmill last week and got my second bag of bird seed, some thistle seed and a box of suet blocks. It is amazing how the birds can keep themselves warm by fluffing their feathers. Talked to Mike at the Afton Bait Shop, he said there were some folks that went fishing. They caught crappie, bluegills and channel catfish. This has been a good year for catching catfish. Mike also told me about him and his wife taking their little granddaughter down to Coney Island to see the lights. He said the little granddaughter would remark about the different lights she liked. That was good for him and his wife. They sure enjoy the granddaughters they have. As I write this Mr. Chester (cat) is laying in my chair. He likes to come in from outside about midnight, eat a little dry cat food, then come lay at the foot of my bed. When I get up in the morning and turn the lights on he is ready for his canned food. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . . More later . . .

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.” “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 cochaired 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 du-

ty 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-of-the-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 Ro-

tary 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. This is when Christmas begins” Peggy Hodgson, Rotary Club of Cincinnati
