GREEN TWP. — Many familiesdisplay a Nativity or two in theirhome for Christmas.
Few people, however, likelyspend a week setting up their Na-tivity scenes.
That’s about how long it takesGreen Township couple Mike andJoy Dattilo to arrange their annu-al Christmas Nativity.
The Dattilos’ Nativity com-prises nearly 500 figurinesthey’ve collected over the span oftheir 27-year marriage.
“We received the Holy Familyand the three kings as a weddinggift, but we didn’t realize theywere collector’s items at thetime,” Mike Dattilo said.
He and his wife eventuallylearned the handcrafted Nativitypieces they received were madeby an Italian company namedFontanini. The figures are craft-ed and hand-painted in the foot-hills of Tuscany, and he said eachfigure comes with a Biblical storycard explaining why the individ-ual was in the town of Bethlehemwhen Jesus was born.
“We kept adding and addingand adding to the collection,” hesaid.
Joy Dattilo added, “There is apurpose to each piece. That’s kindof what got us going on it.”
Their Nativity scene takes upan entire wall in their finishedbasement. Mary, Joseph and babyJesus are at the center in the man-ger, surrounded by hundreds offigurines and several structuresand shelters set up to depict thetown of Bethlehem.
The couple begin assembling
the scene at Thanksgiving andleave it up for display until Febru-ary.
“We never set it up the sameway twice,” Joy Dattilo said, not-ing there are some days she’llspend eight hours working on it.
Her husband said, “Joy is thecreative one.”
They regularly welcome
friends and family into theirhome to view the display.
“A lot of people do like comingover to see it,” Mike Dattilo said.
When their four children wereyounger, he said they would sitdown with them and read the Bib-lical story cards with them so

DELHI TWP. — Delshire Ele-mentary School students hit thepavement to raise money fortheir school’s PTA.
Students traversed theschool grounds and neighbor-hood sidewalks as part of a walk-a-thon fundraiser.
Kimberly Toben, vice presi-dent of fundraising for the PTA,said the group implemented awalk-a-thon as its fall fundraiserlast school year to replace acookie dough sale.
“The walk-a-thon involvesless work for our parents and itgets our kids outside and exer-cising,” she said. “We ask eachstudent to ask family, friendsand neighbors to sponsor themwhile they walk and the kids winprizes based on how much mon-ey they raise.”
She said this year’s walk gen-erated more than $13,000 for thePTA.
All the proceeds go towardhelping the organization support
educational programs at Del-shire, Toben said.
The PTA uses the money tofund Enrichment Day, fieldtrips, breakfast for students ontesting days, guest speakers, areading program and play-ground improvements, she said.The PTA also buys books for thelibrary and purchases class-room supplies for teachers.
“We do anything we can tosupport our teachers,” she said.
The five students who raisedthe most money for this year’swalk were preschooler JonathanBoitman, kindergartners Za-chary Deffinger and Collin Ra-digan and third-graders Bran-don Earls and Kristina Toben.
Boitman said his favoritepart of the day was getting tohang out and walk with hisfriends. He said he asked hisgrandmother for a donation andalso received contributionsfrom relatives who live in Cali-fornia.
Earls and Kristina Toben saidit made them feel good to raisemoney for their school.
“I think it’s awesome,” Kristi-na Toben said. “I went walkingaround my neighborhood with
my parents (to ask for dona-tions) and we made a video forFacebook.”
Earls said he walked aroundhis neighborhood as well, and healso received a lot of help fromhis father, who took up a collec-tion at work.
Radigan said his fatherhelped him with fundraising too.
“My daddy’s buddies donatedmoney,” he said.
Deffinger said he enjoyedseeking out donations. He evenasked strangers at a restaurantwhen dining out with his family.
“It was fun to walk with myfriends,” he said.
Toben said PTA members setup a variety of games and activ-ities for students to take part inwhile they walk, which has madethe event exciting for studentsand gives them something tolook forward to.
She said it’s become a funway to get the students activelyinvolved in an important fund-raiser for the school.
The PTA raised $10,000 withlast year’s walk-a-thon, and shesaid students and parentshelped the organization exceedthe goal for this year.

Oak Hills High School» On Dec. 1, more than 250
Art Foundations students cametogether to create a large scale,collaborative, mural.
Dec. 1 marked the annual ob-servance of World AIDS Day.This year, 2014, marks the 26thanniversary of World AIDSDay.
Day Without Art (DWA) be-gan Dec. 1, 1989, as a nationalday of action and mourning,aligned with World AIDS Day,in response to the AIDS epidem-ic. More than 800 U.S. art andAIDS groups participated in thefirst Day Without Art by shut-ting down museums, sendingstaff to volunteer at AIDS ser-vices, or sponsoring special ex-hibitions of work about AIDS.
Over the years, Day WithoutArt has grown into a collabora-tive project in which an esti-mated 8,000 national and inter-national museums, galleries,art centers, AIDS service or-ganizations, libraries, highschools and colleges take part.Oak Hills High School has beena part of this tradition for morethan 20 years.
In 1997, Day Without Artswitched the approach to a DayWITH Art, in order to recognizeand promote increased pro-gramming of cultural eventsthat draw attention to the con-tinuing pandemic.
In addition to raising aware-ness about the AIDS pandemic,students were encouraged touse the power of art, influencedby the style of artist Keith Hari-ng, to voice their positions onsocial and global issues as ameans of educating the publicand instituting change.
The mural, and the students’accompanying small artworks,will be on display at Oak HillsHigh School through January.
Seton High School» For a second time, Seton
High School was awarded a$25,000 grant from the StateFarm Insurance Celebrate MyDrive campaign. Students, fam-ilies, administrators, alumnaeand the entire community ral-lied in support by making safedriving commitments.
Celebrate My Drive is an op-portunity to celebrate new driv-ers, focusing on the freedom,but also the responsibility thatcomes with earning a driver’s li-cense. It’s a chance for teens
and their high schools to ampli-fy conversations about this im-portant topic and help be part ofthe solution.
“This is the third year in arow that Seton has won a dis-tracted driving campaign grantfrom State Farm. It’s the secondyear that we’ve been awarded aCelebrate My Drive grant,” Se-ton High School Director of Stu-dent Life Mary Agricola said.“Over the past two years wehave been able to use some ofthe money for a powerful mockcrash as well as some very im-pressive speakers.”
“We are very proud of ourstudents, staff, families andalumnae for creating so muchenthusiasm for Celebrate MyDrive,” Seton High School Prin-cipal and CEO Donna Briggersaid. “It’s wonderful to knowthat Seton was able to help raiseawareness about the impor-tance of driving safely withoutdistractions. Ten percent of the
grant award will be used on ateen driver safety program forstudents. The rest of the moneywill be going into the endow-ment set up with last year’s$25,000 grant for our student-run philanthropy, Seton Help-ing Saints.”

JANUARY 7, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A5NEWS
Who knew my familywould be such a trend-setter for the New Year?Food trends are all overthe board, and today I’mtalking about a few ofthem.
Mediterranean diet.Hummus, falafel and
Zaatarseasoningon flatbread.Heck,that’s notrend atour house,that’s din-ner. (Ma-son read-ers MaryLou and
Joe Zarick make tradi-tional flat bread at homeevery week).
Edible petals as aningredient. One of myfood magazines has cook-ies with edible rose pealson the cover. I’m waybeyond that with usingboth wild and cultivatededible flowers in cookingand preserving.
Fruit and veggiecleanses. My answer tothat is a drink I learnedfrom Susan Parker, pro-prietor of Susan’s Natu-ral World in Cincinnati,eons ago: the juice of alemon in a glass of water.It acts as a natural livercleanser and immunebooster and turns alka-line in the body. Drinkfirst thing in the morn-ing.
Root to stalk. Remem-ber “tail to snout” reci-pes? Look for “root tostalk” recipes, like pick-ling leaves of radishes,or using stems of herbs
as a savory base to roastmeats. Again, what’s oldis new. Friend and amaz-ing Italian cook RitaMacEachen of Madeirahas always frozen herparsley stems for sea-soning.
Ramen noodles areback again. In both soupsand salads. (Not the sea-soning packet, just noo-dles).
Anything fermented ishuge. Kimchee and sau-erkraut head the list.Good for digestive sys-tem and in helping pre-vent some cancers. SoLaszlo Molnar’s stuffedcabbage rolls are just thekind of food to start theNew Year right.
Laszlo’s Iron Skilletstuffed cabbagerolls
There are few ethnicrestaurants that havebeen family owned forgenerations. I applaudthem all, including Las-zlo’s Iron Skillet in New-town,. Some of you willrecall the devastatingfire of the original res-taurant on Valley Avenuein Newtown back in 2013.Since then, Laszlo Mol-nar and his sister, Mon-ica Lippmeier, have relo-cated, at least for now, onMain Street in Newton.
Laszlo’s skill in cook-ing Hungarian and Ger-man cuisines comes fromgenerations before him.Laszlo is generous insharing recipes, like oneof my favorites, stuffedcabbage that Laszlomade on my cable show.His stuffed cabbage rolls
contain ingredients in-digenous to German andHungarian food. This isone of my most request-ed restaurant recipes. Ifyou’d like to enjoy it orhis many other authenticdishes at the restaurant,check out the Iron Skilletat laszlosironskillet.comor call 513-271-4766.

Readers want toknow: What is kefir?
Similar to yogurt intaste, this fermenteddairy drink is like athick, protein-packedsmoothie. The completeproteins in kefir areeasily digested, so ifyou’re lactose intolerant,you probably can drinkit. Kefir has gut-friendlybacteria and helps theimmune system, balancedigestion, and lowercholesterol. A bonus: itcontains vitamin D andcalcium.

Dec. 31 questionWhat are you most looking for-
ward to, or what do you expect orhope to see happen, in 2015?
“Looking forward to OSUshocking the world and upset-ting Bama:
“Expect: Andrew Luck putsup 400-plus yards on the Ben-gals.
“Hope: peace on Earth andgood will to mankind (and a legitleft fielder).”
Doug Heilbrun
“With the apparent dissensionamong the Middle East OPEC na-tions and their price fixing I lookforward to cheap gas in 2015. Si-multaneously the US has vastshale oil reserves. The new Con-gress will pass the go ahead forthe Keystone Pipeline to movethis US and Canadian oil to refin-eries safer than trains. Cheapergas will spur the economy. Nowwhat politician(s) will take creditfor OPEC’s possible demise? GoFigure!”
T.D.T.
“To boldly steal a phrase fromthe Miss America pageant:world peace. It will never hap-pen, unfortunately, but it is agood goal for which to strive.Peace within the borders of theUSA is perhaps slightly more at-tainable, but yet a distantstretch. If not nationally, wecould certainly work towardpeace locally.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Do you know who’s respon-sible for electric lines thatrun to your house?
Mark, of Maineville, wrotethat the underground electricline broke from the street tohis house. He contacted DukeEnergy and was told it couldnot repair the line - that hewould have to handle it on hisown.
Mark says the only wayDuke would repair it is if hehad bought its insurance forelectric line coverage. Marksays he doesn’t know who tocall, adding, “This is plain notright.”
What Mark and many oth-ers don’t realize is a home-owner is responsible for theunderground electric, naturalgas and water lines going totheir house. If that had beenan overhead electric linegoing to Mark’s house, Dukewould have been responsiblefor its repair.
The Ohio Consumers’Counsel says many customerscan enroll in a program thathelps cover the cost of repair-ing underground lines, butnotes such line repairs are
needed veryinfrequently.
Mark needsto contact alocal electricianto make repairs.He should getrepair esti-mates from atleast three dif-ferent compa-nies, check to
see how long each firm hasbeen in business, and seewhat rating each has beengiven by the Better BusinessBureau.
Be sure the contractor youpick guarantees his work-manship and materials-- andprovides a copy of his liabilityand workers compensationinsurance policies. Avoidupfront payments of morethan 10 percent, and keep inmind the lowest bid may notbe the best bid.
The cost of line warrantiesranges from $3 to $10 permonth depending on the typeand number of programs inwhich you enroll. The OhioConsumers’ Counsel sayssome companies may offer a
one-time annual fee of be-tween $36 and $120 to coverproblems with the utilitylines. It says, depending onthe company, the warrantycovers between $1,000 and$4,000 of repairs or replace-ments.
Remember, most home-owners may never need toreplace or repair any utilitylines. Check with you neigh-bors to see if they have hadany such problems. Neigh-borhoods older than 40 yearsold, which have the originalpipes and lines, are those thatshould concern you the most.
Most telephone line prob-lems typically occur every 20to 30 years, according to theOhio Consumers’ Counsel.But, before signing up with awarranty company make sureyou get written details ofwhat will and will not be cov-ered.

The meeting with Wyo-ming’s Charlie Howard andBobbi (Roberta) Strangfeldtaught me so much I didn’tknow about the Hamilton Coun-ty Park System.
For instance, it providesmore than 70 miles of nature,fitness, biking and horse trails.When property becomes avail-able adjacent to a park, theyhave a budget to look into de-veloping it for the park. Anaerial view shows the laceeffect of the parks, the largestgreen space in the county.There are lakes for boating,trails to run, cycle or walk,camping and picnicking sites,and the list goes on. Visitwww.greatparks.org to discov-er all there is for your enjoy-ment.
Charlie is vice president ofthe Great Parks Foundationboard and Bobbi is secretary.They serve as chair and co-chair of the foundation’s Annu-
al Fund Cam-paign, engagedin fundraisingand “friendrais-ing” to supportthe mission ofGreat Parks ofHamilton Coun-ty. The founda-tion is a 501(c)(3)non-profit or-ganization whosepurpose is toraise money and
find friends to help support thepark districts and raise aware-ness. In many ways the parksare very self-sustaining, but itis still an expensive propositionto maintain 16,668 acres and 21parks and nature preserves forthe enjoyment of more than 1million people who live in prox-imity to the parks.
State funding cuts in 2010have had an adverse effect, soExecutive Director Jack Suttongot things rolling. The founda-
tion can write grants and do thetypes of fundraising that thepark system cannot because itis tax supported. The founda-tion has gone from no moneyand no experience to being ableto give back. It has $6 millionin assets under management.The Simmonds family gaveseed money to build a dog parkand challenged the foundationto raise the rest. Now, TheSimmonds Family Dog Park inMiami-Whitewater is one of thelargest dog parks in Ohio. Thisyear the foundation gave$10,000 in partial scholarshipsfor outdoor education, a feel-good project that is beginningto grow. School buses transportchildren to Parky’s Farm tolearn. That their families alsocontribute makes the programmore meaningful to them.
All told, the foundation gave$100,000 in 2014 for land acqui-sition planning, research, oper-ations equipment and other
stewardship programs such assupport for seed processing atShaker Nursery that doesmuch of the seed propagationof the gorgeous flowers yousee in the parks. Shaker alsomaintains a seed bank. Theparks are blessed to have vol-unteers who nurture the land-scaping.
In an effort to formalizefundraising, there is an annualgolf outing or you can purchasea memorial legacy tree orbench. Various corporationschoose a date for their employ-ees to work in the parks. Dur-ing the Dec. 2 “Giving Tues-
day” campaign, Norton Out-door Advertising gave freebillboard space. Go online towww.greatparksfoundation.orgto view information about thecampaign, how to contribute,the projects and events, spon-sors and much more.
The Annual Fund Campaignis one the major fundraisinginitiatives. Although it runsthrough December, it is not toolate to donate. As Charlie stat-ed, “The park system is a greatasset that contributes to ourquality of life. Our three mainobjectives are conservation,recreation and education. Yourtax deductible gift helps sup-port all the benefits of havingsuch a great park system.”

A lot of Americans support-ed Small Business SaturdayNov. 29 by shopping at a localsmall business. It was the dayafter Black Friday, which asyou likely know was the dayafter Thanksgiving.
Black Friday focuses mostof its attention on shopping atmalls and so-called big-boxstores. And of course there’sCyber Monday (the Mondayafter Thanksgiving), with thepurpose of encouraging peopleto shop online.
But to me, Small BusinessSaturday is particularly impor-tant, because small businessesare the backbone of the Amer-ican economy. After all, 70percent of the new jobs creatednowadays are created in thesmall business sector of oureconomy.
Over the next few years, I’m
going to befocusing moreand more ofmy time andeffort as yourrepresentativein Congress onissues relatedto revitalizingsmall busi-nesses in thiscountry. That’sbecause I’ve
just been named the chairmanof the House Small BusinessCommittee.
This is the first time I’ll bechairing a full committee. I wasthe ranking member of theSmall Business Committee (thelead Republican on the commit-tee) in 2007 and 2008, but theDemocrats were in controlthen, so the chairman was aDemocrat, and they ran all the
committees. I’ve also beenchairman of subcommittees inthe past: the Judiciary’s Consti-tution Subcommittee, the For-eign Affairs’ Middle East Sub-committee, and I currentlychair the Foreign Affairs’ Asiaand Pacific Subcommittee. But,I’ve never chaired a full com-mittee before.
Not to get too technical, butthe 435 Members of the U.S.House of Representatives aredivided into 21 full committees.Among them are: Agriculture,Ways and Means, Judiciary,Rules, Foreign Affairs, SmallBusiness, etc.
The purpose of the HouseSmall Business Committee is toassess and investigate chal-lenges and problems faced bysmall businesses across Amer-ica, and advocate for bettergovernment policies towards
small business. (Small busi-nesses by definition are busi-nesses with fewer than 500employees, which covers 99percent of American business-es.)
The committee also hasjurisdiction and oversight overthe U.S. Small Business Ad-ministration, which, amongother things, loans money tosmall businesses and overseeseconomic recovery in disasterzones, whether following ahurricane, flood, fire or eco-nomic disaster.
As chairman of the SmallBusiness Committee, it is mygoal to promote an economicenvironment in which smallbusinesses across America cangrow, thrive, and create morejobs for more people. It is mybelief that the best thing thefederal government can do to
help small businesses is to getthe heck off their backs and outof the way.
The federal governmentover-regulates (Obamacare andDodd-Frank, for example), andit overtaxes. I intend to holdhearings in Washington, andfield hearings across the coun-try, focusing on what works,and what doesn’t. I also plan toexamine what governmentpolicies and programs need tobe modified, or eliminated, inorder to unburden small busi-nesses, so they can be success-ful, profitable, and generatemore employment opportuni-ties.
I’m anxious to get started. Iwelcome your input. Let’s getmoving.

ON THE WEST SIDE STAGE
Milder summer tem-peratures combined withtimely wind patterns andcloud cover have helpedkeep ozone levels downthroughout southwestOhio for the past twoozone seasons.
While favorableweather is one aspect ofachieving healthy airquality, industrial pollu-tion controls and conser-vation habits also play avital role in our region’simproving air quality.
This is the first time inthe Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency’s 20-yearsmog alert program thatthe agency did not issue asmog alert for two con-secutive ozone seasons. Asmog alert is issued theday before the agency ex-pects to see levels of airpollution that are un-healthy for sensitivegroups such as children,the elderly and peoplewith respiratory prob-
lems. Pollutants are re-ported using the air qual-ity index (AQI) which is astandardized, color-cod-ed guide with health-based criteria to advisecitizens on their region’sdaily air quality condi-tions.
Ozone season begins
April 1and concludes Oct.31annually in Ohio. Ozoneis a secondary air pollut-ant that forms when ni-trogen oxides (NOx) com-bine with volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) in thepresence of heat and sun-light.
Region marks 2 years without smog alert
