Holidays won’t be the same without ‘Mr. Christmas’ Roy Dixon, dead at age 72 Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Roy Dixon’s Colerain Township home was the site of one of the largest Christmas displays in the Tristate. ENQUIRER FILE

You knew it was Christmas when the lights went on at Roy Dixon’s house in Colerain Township. His Christmas display was iconic, a can’t-miss-this extravaganza. Kids have been standing open-mouthed in front of it for decades. Christmas won’t be the same for many who made a stop at his house part of their holiday tradition. Roy Dixon died Feb. 15. He was 72. In 1978, Dixon was 32. He told an Enquirer reporter he started his love aﬀ air with Christmas decorations as an 11year-old.

Walking out of an animated holiday display in a garage in nearby Brentwood, he told his parents someday he wanted to have a display like that. As a teenager, he helped his dad put up lights. But by 1976, he was decorating on a larger scale. It began to mushroom on Brownsway Lane, the short dead-end street that leads back to the Charles Gailey VFW Hall. There were about 20 houses line the narrow street, and when Dixon plugged in the lights, traﬃ c became a problem. There was nowhere to park, nowhere to turn around, but they came anyway. The year 1978 was when Dixon’s display ﬁ rst caught the attention of local See MR. CHRISTMAS, Page 2A

Wish Lists fulﬁ lled after United Way, Enquirer campaign Max Londberg and Mark Curnutte Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Martaisha Thomas asked for beds and clothing for herself and her younger brother. The 7-year-old, who survived a gunshot wound to the head, also sought equipment to help with her cognitive development and motor skills. Abdul Shakir Al-Lateef wished for a reliable vehicle in order to hold a steady job. Bryce Foster also hoped for a vehicle, in her case to ease travel to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Foster makes frequent trips for medical appointments for her 3-year-old daughter, Kaysen Blackshear. They are among the eight families and individuals whose wishes were fulﬁ lled after a holiday campaign raised more than $60,000. The Enquirer and United Way of Greater Cincinnati joined forces for the 32nd year to promote the Wish List giving season, aiming to assist families in need. Families like Foster and Kaysen. The 2007 Ford Escape gifted to them by another family has saved time and alleviated stress. Before, Foster juggled scheduling a ride through Medicaid or taking two buses to get from their home in Finneytown to Cincinnati Children's. Kaysen was diagnosed last year with a gene disorder that causes seizures and developmental delays. Now, they're able to get everything done more eﬃ ciently, Foster said of life with a vehicle. "We're making it to appointments on time and everything." Kyla Woods, a storyteller with United Way, said an area family donated the Escape to Foster and Kaysen. United Way facilitated the donation, including transferring the title and helping Foster obtain insurance. Foster, who hasn't met the family who donated, said she would "thank them a million times" if she encountered them. "And just try to explain to them how thankful and grateful that they donated a car," she said. Foster's wasn't the only family to receive a vehicle through the Wish List program. A Roselawn auto dealer, Terry Abrams, reached out to The Enquirer after reading the story of Al-Lateef and his wish for a reliable vehicle.

The problem was Al-Lateef ’s bargain-basement Suburban that ate gas, ran “when it wanted to,” and prevented him from holding a steady job. The SUV had more than 200,000 miles on it, a battery that had to be jumped to start, bad alignment and bald tires. “It makes life that much harder,” AlLateef said in December.

car lot, where he picked out a van and received the keys. No charge. “The story touched me, and I (wanted) to help because I can,” Abrams told The Enquirer. Family homelessness and the challenges that accompany it are a growing problem locally. The year 2018 was the busiest in the 35-year history of Bethany House. It served 1,300 individuals within family units, 800 of them children. Certain nonproﬁ ts, including Goodwill, accept vehicle donations. "Sometimes we think (giving) has to be this huge thing, this high-level eﬀ ort," said Woods of United Way. "But really we can all just take small steps and it can lead to a big impact. We can do this."

news outlets. Since then, his display, fi rst on Brownsway Lane, then almost across the street on West Galbraith Road, drew thousands of people for whom his overthe-top display was part of their family’s Christmas tradition. By then, he estimated he’d spent about $300 for decorations to decorate his house in more than 500 lights. He had Christmas fi gures, too: Frosty, Santa, assorted elves. Flashing stars decked the roof, and Elvis and Johnny Mathis crooned Christmas songs over an outdoor sound system. But he was already dreaming of bigger things to come. “I want to do more with the house,” he told the reporter. “Not just the lights, but with mechanical things. I’d like to have little Santa’s helpers in the garage. I don’t ever put a car in there. It would take time, but I’m single and I have lots of time. “People would be welcome to come up and look.” He meant that. Dixon did more than talk about his Christmas dreams. Over the years, he built displays that he dreamed up. A washing machine motor made the reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh in his yard rise and fall. He converted his garage to a replica of Santa’s Workshop, complete with trains and moving fi gures. And he always welcomed people to come up and look. Fast forward 20 years. By 1997, Dixon had quit counting how many lights COMMUNITY PRESS & RECORDER NEWSPAPERS ❚ 312 Elm Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 ❚ 2116 Chamber Center Drive, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017 NEWS TIPS ........................................513-248-8600 HOME DELIVERY .............................513-853-6277 ADVERTISING...................................513-768-8404 CLASSIFIEDS ....................................513-242-4000

SPRINGDALE – Andrew is a huge sports fan and loves local teams like Reds, Bengals, and Bearcats. He is also a big fan of music and is currently listening to a lot of 21 Pilots although he will tell you that AC/DC is his favorite band of all time. Andrew is always hungry to learn new things and plans to return to college in the future to study broadcasting. Andrew had been participating in the Goodwill Work Adjustment Training program for over seven years after attending college for a few semesters. Andrew’s involvement in Goodwill’s services is sponsored through Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services; a long-time referral partner. The partnership is based on helping individuals achieve their own personal success in accordance with their individual goals.

blazed in his yard, house and other displays when the number his 50,000. He had hundreds of fi gurines in his yard. His electric bill topped $600 for the season and a reporter said his home looked like a state fair midway. The workshop he dreamed of was a popular draw, featuring more than 100 moving mechanisms from a snoring Santa to a half-dozen working trains. His guest register recorded visitors from 37 states and 29 countries. It took him more than three months to put it all up and fi ve weeks to tear it all down. He still loved sharing Christmas. His black Cadillac bore vanity plates: SCLAUS. He frequently wore a ball cap emblazoned with “Santa’s Workshop,” the same as the red sweatshirt he favored. A year later, in 1998, he and his fi ancee found a house with a larger yard almost across the street from Brownsway Lane at 2451 W. Galbraith Road and continued to expand his display each year. 2017 was the last year he was able to put the large display out. His health was failing. He died Feb. 15. Dixon is survived by parents Florence and George Thiess and his partner of more than 30 years. Sonja Walls. He was preceded in death by his father, Roy Dixon, He was known to family members and friends as Uncle Roy. His mom, Florence Thiess, says her

son was selﬂ ess and he loved doing the displays every year. “He was a wonderful son, and I want the whole world to know how much I loved him and what a good man he was,” she said. “He loved it so much, and he loved doing it for the children,” she said. “I don’t know what we’re going to do with all his Christmas things. I just can’t even think about it right now.” Ryan Simpson, who runs the Facebook page Cincy Xmas Lights lived between two holiday icons: Dixon, and the late Bill Zapf, who decorated his North College Hill lawn and home for many years. Simpson loves Christmas lights so much he started a Facebook group to help people ﬁ nd great holiday displays. You can see updated lists, photos and videos from displays across the region. “When you are part of someone’s Christmas tradition, that’s cool,” Simpson said. “Strangers drive by and they have no idea who you are, but they came to see your lights.” He shared that pride with Dixon, who he admired and emulated. In 1997, Dixon said when he died, he would have to get someone to take his Santa and reindeer from his front yard to Oak Hill Cemetery. And, he said with a small smile, it would have to be plugged in. “And everyone would say ‘Hey, that’s the guy on Brownsway Lane.’ “

Once Andrew decided that he was ready to move on to a community job, he was determined to fi nd a job where his strengths would be utilized. Andrew is a hard worker and is very easy to get along with. He has a great personality and loves to joke around and make others smile. His Case Manager in Work Adjustment assisted him with a referral to Carol Prince and the Pathways program through Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities. Andrew worked closely with Carol Prince and his Goodwill Job Developer to develop a resume, complete applications, and attend interviews at a number of employment sites. He will tell you that the process can be discouraging sometimes, but it is worth sticking to the program and talking through issues with your support team. Andrew and his Employment Specialist fi nally got an interview at Sam’s Club as a greeter and Andrew was quickly offered the position. Andrew accepted the position knowing that this would give him the opportunity to utilize his great personality and make positive fi rst impressions at the store. Andrew said that he feels better about himself because he feels like he is contributing more to society when he works. He said that being able to get up and collect a paycheck makes him feel really good. Plus, he likes that he is gaining valuable work experience to be able to add to his resume in the future if he would want to move up or get another job. Andrew stated “The best advice I can give to others that are looking for a job is to not be afraid to stick up for yourself, and to be selective with your job because it is your job.” Andrews supervisor noted that “Andrew is consistent, has a great personality, and we are happy to have him as part of the team.” Ohio Valley Goodwill congratulates

Andrew Clark on his employment success and his self-advocacy in choosing the job that he really wanted. To ﬁ nd out more about Goodwill’s Employment Services, visit http:// www.goodwillemploymentservices.com. Submitted by Travis Smith/Share

Gold Star announces remodel of Evendale restaurant Gold Star Chili closed its Evendale restaurant Feb. 21 in order to begin a major renovation of the space at 3000 Glendale-Milford Road. A grand re-opening celebration is planned for mid-April and will feature a free cheese coney with the purchase of any regular drink, a giveaway for free cheese coneys for a year, and more surprises for guests. Gold Star’s remodeled Evendale location will feature a new restaurant design that melds the traditional Cincinnati chili parlor experience into a comfortable, contemporary environment guests will love. It will also feature Gold Star’s menu of classic chili dishes and new burgers, deli sandwiches, loaded fries, chicken sandwiches and milkshakes. “For the last 50 years since my father and his brothers started this company, family has been at the heart of the Gold Star brand,” said Roger David, president and CEO of Gold Star Chili, Inc. “Our new restaurant is designed with families in mind, and we look forward to serving them a delicious meal in March.” “We’re very excited to be able to bring Evendale families a newly remodeled restaurant and a menu that takes us back to our roots to the menu served when Gold Star originally opened,” David said. The new menu at Gold Star Evendale features the traditional Cincinnati chili parlor classics – Cheese Coneys, Ways and Chili Cheese Fries – created with Gold Star Chili’s family chili recipe made with a secret blend of 13 spices. Gold Star Evendale’s closure for renovations is one of many planned for 2019. The company recently completed remodeling or new building projects in Dry

Ridge, Ky, Anderson Township, and Maineville. Gold Star Wilmington will complete an expansion and renovation project in the coming months, as well. The upcoming store openings and remodels are the latest in a series of investments Gold Star has made in its restaurants in 2018 and 2019, including more than eight remodels or new builds to date, updated branding, and a new advertising campaign that diﬀ erentiates the brand from other chili parlors in the region. Gold Star is actively seeking owners for new franchise opportunities in Greater Cincinnati, with additional opportunities in Dayton and Lexington.

Warm up with creamy risotto, brown bread Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I was sorting through a basket of gourds when I spied a butternut squash in the bottom.

How it got there is a mystery. It was a bit soft in places so I needed to use it quick. Butternut is a good swap for pumpkin, so I made the switch in the risotto recipe I’m sharing. Rosie Kennedy’s brown bread recipe is here, too. Maybe you’ve been one of

the readers looking for brown bread similar to what Busken’s used to sell. If so, you hit the jackpot. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Boston brown bread Rosie Kennedy, a Northern Kentucky reader, adapted this from her mom, Kathryn Dwyer’s recipe. Rosie told me: “I don't know how this recipe compares to Busken's, but I know it's good. Once I used two regular-sized loaf pans and increased baking time. Turned out a little dry, so I recommend using miniloaf pans.” Rosie bakes in 2 batches, so loaves aren't crowded. Rosie’s mom used 14 oz. cans - the good old days…

Easy risotto with butternut squash

Ingredients

1 box raisins, 15 or 16 oz. (Rosie has used up to 20 oz.)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

3 cups water

3 cups diced butternut squash

1 stick unsalted butter

2 cups sugar

1 cup diced onion

2 teaspoons salt

11⁄ 2 cups Arborio rice

5 cups flour

⁄ 2 cup white wine

4 teaspoons baking soda

⁄ 2cup Parmesan cheese plus extra

2 teaspoons vanilla

Salt and pepper

2 eggs

Instructions

1 cup chopped nuts (Rosie likes pecans or walnuts)

Sports Wyoming’s Gerasimchuk wins state diving title Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

CANTON - Wyoming's Ilusha Gerasimchuk is very familiar with the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. The senior diver, identifi ed as Ilya on the roster though he goes by Ilusha, had been to the home of the OHSAA state swimming and diving meet three consecutive years going into his fi nal chance at winning a Division II state championship Wednesday, Feb. 20. As a freshman, he fi nished 23rd in the 1-meter diving event. As a sophomore he came in 14th and last winter occupied the second-place spot on the podium with a runner-up fi nish to two-time statechampion Noah Vigran of Indian Hill, who now dives at Stanford University. The bitter feeling of "almost" was used as a motivation tactic for Gerasimchuk, who made his last go-round prosperous by capturing that elusive state championship in Division II 1-meter boys diving, edging out Beachwood's Spencer Bystrom by less than two points.

team in the ﬁ ve-year history of the rankings. The stretch included watershed wins such as a 1971 victory over neighboring-rival Lockland that snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Panthers and a 1972 win over neighborhood-rival Wyoming that snapped a 16-game losing streak against the Cowboys.

A four-year varsity basketball starter at power forward and center, Wyoming senior Sky Thomas is a formidable presence in the paint, both off ensively and defensively. On off ense, she has recorded numerous double-double games this season, including vs. Indian Hill (18 points-15 rebounds), St. Ursula (15 points-12 rebounds), Fenwick (15 points-15 rebounds) and Taylor (13 points-10 rebounds). On defense, she is one of the best shot-blockers in the area, averaging 4.7 blocks per game, which leads the CHL. She is also one of the league's top rebounders averaging about ten rebounds per game. "Sky is a game changer, her presence in the paint is undeniable,” head coach Vanessa Laug said. “Not only is she a matchup nightmare for opposing teams, but she changes or swats every shot in the lane." Last year as a junior, Sky averaged a double-double for the entire season with 14 points and 10 rebounds a game while adding and a league-high 5.1 blocks per game. She earned numerous honors, including being named fi rst team

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The streak started quietly enough with a 28-20 Reading win at North College Hill. That was on Oct. 17, 1971. More than two seasons later, the Blue Devils closed out a remarkable run. Their 28-6 win over Mason capped a run of 25 consecutive regular-season wins that included two Hamilton County

Suburban League National Division championships and appearances in the ﬁ rst two Ohio High School Athletic Association post-season tournaments. The dominant run included back-toback 10-0 regular-season campaigns, a United Press International 1973 Class AA statewide poll championship and Associated Press poll runnerup ﬁ nish and a ranking of second behind Moeller in the Enquirer’s coaches’ poll – the highest ranking by a non-Class AAA

How much were things going Reading’s way? Normally effi cient Wyoming fumbled four times in that loss, which helped propel the Blue Devils to their fi rst conference championship since capturing the old Millcreek Valley League crown in 1944. That wasn’t as easy as it sounds. The 1972 Associated Press Class AA all-state team included two fi rst-team ends from HCSL National teams – Harrison’s Gary Campbell and Wyoming’s Steve Bell – and a second-team running back in North College Hill’s Leon Murray. The heart of Reading’s team during that spectacular streak was quarterback Randy Christophel, whose stats belied his stature. The 6-foot, 190-pound Christophel, operating an I-formation off ense that featured Tom Grippa at running back, led Greater Cincinnati in passing for points and fi nished second in overall passing in 1972 on his way to being named second-team all-state by the Associated Press and fi rst-team all-city by the Enquirer. He moved up to fi rst-team all-state as a senior in 1973 while Blue Devils coach Jerry Daugherty was named the Class AA statewide coach of the year. “We had a really good defense,” recalled Grippa, a long-time local coach currently leading Milford. “We also had one of the best quarterbacks in the state. He would’ve been awesome in today’s spread off ense. He was a real dual threat.”

The Blue Devils also had the luxury of playing a two-platoon lineup, meaning nobody played both ways, though Christophel occasionally played defensive back. Rare were the Class AA teams that had enough players to do that without a falloﬀ on one side of the ball or the other. Grippa believes this was a product of Reading enjoying at the time a population boom. “We didn’t have anybody going both

ways,” Grippa recalled. “I used to complain to Coach Daugherty that I would be the best defensive back on the team. Coach Daugherty said, ‘Son, we need you running the ball and scoring touchdowns.’ We had a team that had balance. “We also had a stud head football coach in Jerry Daugherty. He’s a legend.” Grippa was one of several products of Sts. Peter and Paul parish – including his younger brother, Gary, nicknamed “Lou” – who decided to attend Reading instead of Moeller, which was establishing itself as a football power. Among them were linebacker Mark Foley and fullback Jim Brown, whom Grippa recalls helping Sts. Peter and Paul win a seventh-grade Catholic Youth Organization championship and get edged by Price Hill Holy Family in the eighthgrade fi nals. “I wanted to go to Moeller, but we couldn’t aff ord it,” Grippa recalled. “I was the oldest of eight kids.” Perhaps the closest Reading’s streak came to being prematurely snapped was midway through the 1972 campaign, when the Blue Devils edged NCH, 21-20, after the Trojans missed a pointafter touchdown kick. Daugherty was surprised that NCH went for one point. “I thought they’d defi nitely go for the win,” he told the Enquirer. “I had my defense prepared for the fake. I thought Leon (Murray, also the placekick holder) would keep it somehow.” The giddiness of Reading’s roll was tempered by back-to-back losses in the fi rst rounds of the state tournament,

spot Ilusha fi nished his sophomore year. "I've never given him (Pavel) much advice before, but I'd just tell him to keep improving and to work hard and always love the sport," Gerasimchuk said. Mariemont's Nathan Cox narrowly missed a spot on the podium. The sophomore, who fi nished third at districts, came in ninth, just a half of a point behind Celina's Holden Cubberley. Senior brother Jacob Cox, the district's runnerup, fi nished 16th. On the girls' side, Wyoming's Grace Courtney was the only Cincinnati-area diver to fi nd a spot at the podium. The freshman logged a fourth-place fi nish in the 1-meter, fi nishing with 421.25 points. Courtney was coming off a district championship at Miami University,

where she took top honors by over 70 points. Teammate Adrienne Storer along with Mariemont's Kyleigh Spang and Indian Hill's Lexi Magenheim also splashed at state.

which at the time included just the four champions of each division’s region. The Blue Devils lost to Columbus Watterson, the statewide poll champion, 12-6, at Troy in the 1972 semifi nals when Chip Gentile, who’d caught three passes during the regular season, caught touchdown passes of 41 and 60 yards on patterns the team had rarely used during the regular season. The next season, at Lancaster High School, after Reading qualifi ed in the fi nal week with unlikely help from league-mates Wyoming, Lockland and Finneytown, the Blue Devils were eliminated by Ironton in a gritty 7-0 defensive struggle. Reading’s disappointment was deepened by the absence from the sideline of the cancer-ridden Daugherty, who was in the hospital recovering from surgery. Grippa recalls Lockland coach Ben Hubbard being on Reading’s sideline at the playoff game, calling plays. “There were days we’d be at practice and he was going through (chemotherapy),” Grippa recalled. “He’d walk off to the side and heave his guts out, then come back and say, ‘Let’s get back to work.’ I think that was part of our drive, but I also think we would’ve won state if he he’d been with us. He was an emotional leader and fi ghting for his life, and I think it aff ected us.” The streak ended with a 12-10 loss to Deer Park in the 1974 season-opener.

SCHOOL NEWS Mercy Montessori’s Farmessori continues to grow Mercy Montessori’s student-driven Erdkinder/Microeconomy program continues to grow. This program is born out of Maria Montessori’s Erdkinder concept (a German word for “land children”). The Farmessori curriculum gives the students a wide range of experiences from gardening to business to customer service. This spring, the junior high class is excited to welcome chickens to the Farmessori. The chicken team researched coops and chicken breeds, looking for the friendliest types of fowls. In January the team’s coop arrived - they dug the foundation and installed the coop. Eggs will arrive in the spring and after the chicks hatch the students will care for them during the school year and into the summer. The team estimates fi rst batch of eggs will be laid when school is back in session next fall. The eggs will be used in Farmessori products and will also be sold in the school’s farm stand that is expected to launch in the new school year. In addition to the chicken team, the school’s bee team is also anticipating another honey harvest in the spring. The team had its fi rst successful harvest this fall, bottling over 16 lbs of honey. The spring harvest is expected to yield over 40 lbs. The fi rst run sold out almost immediately and the Mercy community is excited for the next batch. Mercy’s Groovy Smoothie and Mercy’s Natural Tea continue to show strong sales and have been off ering new seasonal fl avors. The Smoothie and Tea busi-

Medical, dental, and mental health access is a vital need for many families in the Mt. Healthy City School District. With this in mind, Mt. Healthy City Schools is partnering with The HealthCare Connection to assist our families with these social service needs. Quality primary healthcare services are crucially important to the educational and academic success of our students in Mt. Healthy, so it becomes central to provide access to care for our families. Mt. Healthy City Schools has been researching ways to incorporate a health center within the district and possibly in each of the buildings. This new partnership with THCC is the ﬁ rst step in the process in providing health-care access to underserved families in the district. “The HealthCare Connection has been involved in our community for many years; we hope to increase the access to services for our families with this renewed partnership”, said Superintendent Dr. Reva C. Cosby. The HealthCare Connection plans to build a new health center in Mt. Healthy that will continue to oﬀ er primary health care services and will be adding much needed affordable dental care services. Construction on the new facility is set to begin soon and the new center will open in early 2020. Dolores Lindsay, Founder and CEO of The Health-

385-7024

Care Connection says, “We are excited to partner with Mt. Healthy City School District, and with the expansion of our Mt. Healthy Center, we will be able to meet the growing need for quality, aff ordable primary care and dental services in Mt. Healthy and the surrounding areas. The new expanded health center will make an immediate and powerful impact on the health of families in the Mt. Healthy community.” The HealthCare Connection has been serving families in 46 neighborhoods in the Greater Cincinnati area for over 50 years and has operated the Mt. Healthy Family Practice Center on Hilltop Plaza for over 30 years. THCC provides primary health care services such as: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Dental Services, Obstetrics and Gynecological Services, STD Treatments and Counseling, Mental and Behavioral Health Services, Interpreter Services, and Laboratory Services. The Center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance and works with patients with no insurance on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size to make care more aff ordable. In 2017, The HealthCare Connection’s Mt. Healthy Family Practice Center and the Lincoln Heights Health Center were recertifi ed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home, the highest level possible. In addition, THCC was the fi rst Community Health Center in Ohio and is a founding member of the Ohio and National Association of Community Health Centers. THCC is a non-profi t charity that depends on federal grants, funding from foundations, corporations, and private organizations to help sustain and grow the organization. Missy Knight
