Mount Healthy residentThelma Kaup found an awe-some way to streamline herChristmas list, not a small un-dertaking when you have 11children, their spouses, 30-plusgrandkids and a handful ofgreat-grandkids.

“In 2002, in a bold act of san-ity, but in our opinion muchmore as a way of recognizingthe true meaning of Christmas,our mother chose to take themoney she would normally use

for gifts for her children andolder grandchildren and identi-fy several charities to supportinstead,” said her son John.“Each year all of us receive ourChristmas letter from Mom in-dicating which charities she haschosen to support this year.”

Her family caught the spirit,and this past fall approachedThelma with a proposal: What ifthey used a portion of her con-tribution as seed money to dosomething big as a family?

With her blessing, and herseed money, the Kaup familydecided to sponsor a Stop Hun-

ger Now event to package mealsto be distributed where needed.Stop Hunger Now coordinatesthe distribution of food and oth-er life-saving aid in developingor crisis-burdened countriesthrough feeding programs op-erated by partner organiza-tions. It provides food in U.S.and international disaster reliefefforts, as well, sending morethan 400 tons of aid to Haiti fol-lowing the 2010 earthquake andnearly 200,000 meals to victimsof Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

The event planned by theKaup family required $4,350 –about 29 cents per meal – andmore than 80 volunteers. Theyraised the money by Christmasand with the help of AssumptionChurch, Thelma’s home church,about 100 volunteers were gath-ered to help.

And on Dec. 30, they met inthe parish center of the churchand packaged more than 15,000meals. Bags were filled,

weighed, sealed and packed intocardboard boxes.

“These meals will finish off a40-foot shipping container,”said Devon Walker, a programmanager with Stop HungerNow. “It will be the first onesent out from our new Indian-apolis warehouse.”

Bill Kaup said a large num-ber of volunteers came fromRoger Bacon High School.

“The underwater hockeyteam and the girls basketballteam were here,” he said. “Theyhad strong representation, andwe appreciated it so much.”

Thelma Kaup had two impor-tant responsibilities at the pack-ing event: keeping track of howmany meals were packaged andsounding a large gong indicat-ing each 1,000 meals were com-plete.

“We got into a strongrhythm,” Bill said. “After thefirst 4,000 meals, the gong wassounding more and more quick-

ly.”As she surveyed the beehive

of activity of the packing event,Thelma said it was satisfying tosee it all come together.

“It gives you a warm feelingto see it all happening,” she said.“This is great. And I think it’sgood that the younger kids canbe a part of it. It’s a good exam-ple for them. It feels good. Itfeels great.”

Her family thinks so, too.“Our Mom is making a differ-

ence in the world,” John said.“She is fully embracing Jesus’call to “Feed My Sheep” andleaving a lasting impression onthe 60-plus of us that are proudto call her Mom, grandmotherand great-grandmother.”

Bill agrees.“This is where Mom’s heart

has been her whole life,” hesaid. “She has always beenabout others. Always findingways to reach out.”

Schools in the NorthwestDistrict will go to the dogs thisyear.

So will Northgate mall.That’s because the Colerain

Township Police Departmentwill begin using a speciallytrained dog to help patrol them.

Colerain Township PoliceChief Mark Denney says Kudo,a Dutch shepherd, is not a tradi-tional police dog. This dog willbe trained as a school protectioncanine, similar to Atticus, aDutch shepherd who beganworking at Oak Hills HighSchool at the start of the 2013-2014 school year. Kudo, who wasin the same litter as Atticus, willbe working with Colerain Town-ship Police Officer Brian Hun-tington, who has been with thedepartment for about fouryears.

Denney said he saw Atticusin action and was impressedwith the dog’s performance andwith the commitment to school

safety shown by American Suc-cess Dog Training and owner/trainer Mark Gomer.

“The dog went from beingon-alert to a playful puppy with-in seconds and back again, atthe command of the handler,”Denney said. “Mr. Gomerstressed the importance of the

socialization process which be-gan when the canines are born.These dogs are comfortable andapproachable in school settingsand are able to “go to work” witha simple command.

Gomer says the guard dogslearn short commands in Ger-man.

“The commands are com-mands that people wouldn’t nor-mally know,” he said. “We’reable to condition these bites andhave a dog that can take out abad guy and protect the schoolwithout making that dog viciousor unstable at all.”

Gomer said the process of so-cialization with his dogs is im-portant.

“They live like family petsfrom the time they are pup-pies,” he said. “The stability isimportant. Kudo has beenaround my five kids, theirfriends, and tagged along onschool visits; he likes being withpeople.”

Colerain Township Trusteesgave the go-ahead for the pro-ject in December. The cost ofthis trained dog, to includetraining for the handler is$25,000. Gomer said the dog willbe transitioning to live withHuntington and training willstart in early January.

Denney says schools andmalls have been targets for vio-lence in the past. “We are learn-

ing that places we once thoughtwere safe for our families havebecome as dangerous, in somecases, as the streets we wouldnever think of letting them walkalone,” he said.

“Simply accepting that theworld is becoming more andmore dangerous is not how wehave ever operated. With thisexpectation in mind, I began toinvestigate new methods of pro-tecting vulnerable areas withinour community.”

Denney laid out his plan toadd a school protection dog thatcan also patrol Northgate Malland other areas. He says dogssuch as Atticus and Kudo aretrained to operate in a populat-ed environment, especiallyareas populated by children.

“The dog is trained to detectdrugs, explosives and guns aswell as track and neutralize anarmed, violent intruder,” Den-ney said.

“The dog is trained totrack suspects and lostchildren/adults. This sat-isfies a police departmentneed identified in the pastfew years, having a ca-nine for tracking missingchildren and Alzheimer’spatients as well as respon-ding to crimes in pro-gress.”

cess Dog Training and theconditioning of the dogsmake them a great fit forthese environments. Theability to detect explo-sives and serve as a gener-al deterrent to crime anddisorder inside the mall isa tremendous asset.

GREEN TWP. — Manyfamilies display a nativityor two in their home forChristmas.

Few people, however,likely spend a week set-ting up their nativityscenes.

That’s about how longit takes Green Townshipcouple Mike and Joy Dat-tilo to arrange their annu-al Christmas nativity.

The Dattilos’ nativity iscomprised of nearly 500figurines they’ve collect-ed over the span of their27-year marriage.

“We received the HolyFamily and the threekings as a wedding gift,but we didn’t realize theywere collector’s items atthe time,” Mike Dattilosaid.

He and his wife eventu-

ally learned the hand-crafted nativity piecesthey received were madeby an Italian companynamed Fontanini. The fig-ures are crafted and hand-painted in the foothills ofTuscany, and he said eachfigure comes with a Bibli-cal story card explainingwhy the individual was inthe town of Bethlehemwhen Jesus was born.

“We kept adding andadding and adding to thecollection,” he said.

Joy Dattilo added,“There is a purpose toeach piece. That’s kind ofwhat got us going on it.”

Their nativity scenetakes up an entire wall intheir finished basement.Mary, Joseph and baby Je-sus are at the center in themanger, surrounded by

hundreds of figurines andseveral structures andshelters set up to depictthe town of Bethlehem.

The couple begins as-sembling the scene atThanksgiving and theyleave it up for display un-til February.

“We never set it up thesame way twice,” Joy Dat-tilo said, noting there aresome days she’ll spendeight hours working on it.

Her husband said, “Joyis the creative one.”

They regularly wel-come friends and familyinto their home to viewthe display.

“A lot of people do likecoming over to see it,”Mike Dattilo said.

When their four chil-dren were younger, hesaid they would sit downwith them and read theBiblical story cards withthem so their childrenwould gain an under-standing of who all thesculpted people are.

“It gave them a littlemore meaning as to whatChristmas is all about,” hesaid.

Some of the figurinesare signed by members ofthe Fontanini family, andothers are signed by theartists who painted them.Mr. Dattilo said 12 yearsago they were fortunateenough to show their col-

lection to a Fontanini fam-ily member who visitedtheir home while on a tripto the U.S.

“That was a really neatexperience,” he said.

Joy Dattilo said every

year she tells herself sheisn’t going to set up the na-tivity, but Thanksgivingrolls around and she al-ways caves and starts un-packing the collection.She said many of their na-

tivity pieces hold senti-mental value.

“This is something weenjoy doing and have beendoing for several years,”Mike Dattilo said. “It’sspecial to us. It really is.”

Nativity embraces meaning of Christmas

KURT BACKSCHEIDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Green Township residents Mike and Joy Dattilo received Fontanini nativity pieces as a weddinggift 27 years ago and have been adding to their collection ever since. They now have nearly 500figures in their collection, and they set up a large display every holiday season.

In the 1800s, the Sisters of Mercy, who sponsor McAuley HighSchool, became known informally as the “walking nuns” for their abil-ity to care for the poor outside a convent. This adventuresome spiritwas quite unique and unusual in early 19th century Dublin, Ireland.

Today, McAuley students are continuing this walking tradition, butin the form of charity walks. Recently, groups representing McAuleyparticipated in:

» Walk to End Alzheimer’s: The McAuley team donated $160.» Cincinnati Walks for Kids to benefit Children’s Hospital: The

McAuley team donated $90.» Purple Strides Walk: The McAuley team volunteered as walk

monitor and encouragers.» Jill’s Memorial Walk: The McAuley team donated $80 to scholar-

ship fund.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

JANUARY 7, 2015 • NORTHWEST 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, orusing 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, MonicaLippmeier, 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.

Dec. 31 questionWhat are you most looking

forward to, or what do you ex-pect or hope to see happen, in2015?

“Looking forward to OSUshocking the world and upset-ting Bama:

“Hope: peace on Earth andgood will to mankind (and a le-git left fielder).”

Doug Heilbrun

“With the apparent dissen-sion among the Middle EastOPEC nations and their pricefixing I look forward to cheapgas in 2015. Simultaneouslythe US has vast shale oil re-serves. The new Congress willpass the go ahead for the Key-stone Pipeline to move this USand Canadian oil to refineriessafer than trains. Cheaper gaswill spur the economy. Nowwhat politician(s) will takecredit for OPEC’s possible de-mise? Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“To boldly steal a phrasefrom the Miss America pag-eant: world peace. It will nev-er happen, unfortunately, butit is a good goal for which tostrive. Peace within the bor-ders of the USA is perhapsslightly more attainable, butyet a distant stretch. If not na-tionally, we could certainlywork toward peace locally.Each of us should insure wehave peace within our ownfamilies, then expand to keeppeace in the neighborhood.Maybe help a neighbor, un-asked. Pay it forward to astranger in need. Volunteer.The peace thing can startsmall, but grow into a largereffort pretty quickly. It’s anew year, let’s give it a try.”

M. J. F.

Dec. 24 questionWhat do you consider the

most significant event of 2014 -either internationally, national-ly, locally or personally?

“It was when Pope Francisstated, ‘If we destroy Cre-ation, it will destroy us.’ Thismeans that 2014 is the yearwhen protecting the environ-ment is no longer merely aneconomic issue. It is now amoral issue about whether ornot we follow God's plan for usand respect his creation.”

Crosswalks near MusicHall dangerous

As frequent patrons of TheCincinnati Pops, my wife and Ioften visit the Cincinnati MusicHall and approach this facilityfrom the west, crossing overCentral Avenue on foot.

When waiting for the cross-walk light at the intersection ofEzzard Charles Drive and Cen-tral Avenue, we always get

caught by the flashing “Don’tWalk” light before we evenmake it half way across the Cen-tral Avenue.

This is a very dangerouscrosswalk because: 1) the driv-ers of the cars on both CentralAvenue and Ezzard Charles areimpatient, having to wait for thecrowd of Music Hall patrons tocross the street, and 2) the mul-titude of patrons crossing Cen-tral Avenue to attend an event

at Music Hall will always con-sist of stragglers who cannotpossibly make the crosswalklight in time and are at extremerisk of getting hit by cars whonow have a green light.

I am simply requesting thatthe timing of this crosswalklight be extended to allow theaverage patron time to make itclear across Central Avenuewith seeing the flashing “Don’tWalk” light. The Office of the

County Engineer desperatelyneeds to study this intersectionand make the necessary im-provements before a pedestri-an is hit by a car and a possiblefatality occurs. I welcome thetestimony of any other Cincin-nati Music Hall patrons regard-ing this safety issue and hopewe can rise up together to bringthe needed awareness to affectcorrective action.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As we begin a new year, Iwould like to give you a recapof Colerain Township’sachievements during 2014, aswell as assess our opportuni-ties and challenges in 2015.

I am very proud of our teamand the commitment theymake every day to living outour vision statement: “Deliver-ing Excellence to a “Best inClass” Community.”

No better example exists in2014 than our resolve to assistthe Jonrose Ave. neighborhoodin Groesbeck by eliminatingthe blighted properties whichwere attracting crime andseverely impacting the qualityof life. By the end of summer,all of the properties had beendemolished, and we are hope-ful that the necessary fundingwill soon be secured to con-struct an attractive affordablehousing development for 50-plus residents.

Economic development wasprobably our strongest area in2014, as new businesses anddevelopments appearedthroughout the Colerain Ave.corridor. The new “X-Scape”theatre will open very shortlyat Northgate Mall, and I amparticularly thrilled about theKroger Marketplace that wasrecently proposed for the

northwestcorner of Col-erain andSpringdale.Since the dealis contingenton a Tax In-crement Fi-nancing (TIF)arrangementin excess often years, theagreement of

the Northwest Local SchoolDistrict Board of Educationwill be necessary.

As you know, the board oftrustees have consistently andunanimously opposed the ex-pansion of the Rumpke landfillsince it was proposed in 2006.Over the summer, the Boardconsidered a settlement pro-posal that we discussed withour residents. Ultimately, mycolleagues and I decided toreject the proposal and pro-ceed to trial, given the enor-mous impact of that facility onthe Colerain Township commu-nity. The trial was originallyscheduled for this past Sep-tember, but is now delayeduntil July 2015.

Judicious use of very scarcefinancial resources will con-tinue to be a high priority forthe Board in 2015. On Dec. 11,

Township Administrator JimRowan and I traveled to Co-lumbus for a private meetingwith our State Representative,Bill Blessing, along with thetop leadership in the next Gen-eral Assembly, Reps. CliffRosenberger and Ron Amstutz.We made them aware of theimpact of the state reductionsover the last three years, andalso suggested that if theywish to help Ohio townships inthe next assembly, they shouldconsider rewarding townshipslike Colerain who have demon-strated the most resolve toimprove efficiency and reducespending instead of raisingproperty taxes.

As a result of the defeat ofIssue 30 at the ballot in No-vember (and the loss of the $1million in annual revenue itwould have provided), we hadto make a difficult decision toeliminate the position of ourPublic Services Director, Kev-in Schwartzhoff. Our publicworks and parks departmentswill now be under the directionof Dan Meloy, who also super-vises the Police and Fire de-partments. Although thisstructure is probably not ideal,it does demonstrate our com-mitment to a balanced budget,and also further leverages

Dan’s superior leadershipskills.

Let me also convey howmuch I will miss Kevin’s part-nership and dedication. Hecontinually served the resi-dents of Colerain Township tothe best of his ability, and em-braced the cultural changes wetried to implement over thelast three years. We greatlyappreciate his contributions,and wish him the best of luckin his future endeavors.

Another significant person-nel change occurred in Decem-ber when the Board appointedFrank Cook to be our new FireChief. Frank is replacing a truelegend of Colerain Townshipand the fire service, BruceSmith, who is retiring. Brucerecently celebrated his 45thanniversary with ColerainTownship, and will continue toserve as a consultant throughJune 30 in order to assist withthe transition and providevaluable continuity withFrank.

I want to wish all of ourresidents a safe and joyousnew year. I look forward toserving you again in 2015.

Jeff Ritter is a Colerain Townshiptrustee.

Colerain Twp. trustee looks back at 2014

Jeff RitterCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

You found your dreamhome, but you still have yourold house to sell. This is acommon issue that often re-quires you to maintain yourfirst home until it sells. Asusual, criminals continue tolook for new ways to victimizehard-working people and yourold home is a prime target.

Through interviews withapprehended burglars, theytell us that they target andbreak into homes that have a“for sale” sign in the frontyard. Once they target thesehomes, they then try to deter-mine if the home is vacant orif it is still occupied by a fam-ily. Upon verifying that thehome is indeed vacant, theyenter the home and removethe cooper from wiring andplumbing. This crime obvi-

ously damagesthe home andcosts thehomeownermuch-neededmoney to re-pair.

Nationally,about 60 per-cent of allburglariesoccur in thedaytime, most

often between 10-11a.m. andagain between 1-3 p.m. Thattrend is consistent with bur-glaries in Colerain Township.Most burglars attempt toavoid confrontation and pre-fer an unoccupied home.

Unfortunately, the chancesof selling your home increasewith the advertising that thesign in the yard provides, but

it also attracts unwanted at-tention. There are ways youcan help protect your home:

» Draw all blinds and limitthe ability to view the interiorof the home from outside.

» Stop all newspaper deliv-eries to your old home.

» Ask a neighbor to park acar in your driveway and havethem move it often.

» Have a timer on lightsinside the home and porch .Make sure they turn-off dur-ing the day.

» Leave a radio or televi-sion on. Check on this as itmay be turned-off by the real-estate agent when showing thehome.

» Consider an alarm sys-tem. The noise from the sirenand the knowledge that thepolice are on the way can be a

strong deterrent. Place sig-nage in your yard indicatingthat you have an alarm.

» Ensure all windows anddoors are locked. Check oftenas they may be unlocked dur-ing a showing of the home

Sadly, there are peopleamong us who prefer to vic-timize rather than legitimate-ly work for their money. It isup to each of us to do what wecan to deter crime and protectour property. Your policedepartment is happy to dosecurity evaluations and sug-gest specific things you cando to protect your home, occu-pied or vacant. Do not hesitateto call 321-COPS.

A Lakeside Park mannamed Michael says hedoesn’t understand whythe prepaid debit card hebought won’t let himactivate it without firstgetting his Social Securi-ty number.

He writes, “I added$50 to the card, camehome, and got online toactivate it. When I got onthe website it asked formy Social Security num-ber. I thought about it fora second and thought,‘Why do they need that?’”

Michael says he put inhis number so he couldthen order gifts online.Then he was told heneeded to send the debitcard company a copy ofhis Social Security cardbefore it would activatethe card.

Michael says, “I thenwent and bought a Visacard, prepaid $40 on thecard, and used it rightaway. My concern is whydo they need my SocialSecurity card?”

The answer has to dowith the types of prepaidcards Michael bought.The first type of cardwas reloadable while thesecond card was notreloadable and it allowedhim to be anonymouswhen making cash-likepayments.

Reloadable cardsusually involve actualcredit, so they requireyou to provide your So-cial Security number

beforethey canbe activat-ed. Non-reloadablecards, alsocalled giftcards, onlyrequire aname andaddress –and that

information is not ver-ified. As long as thename and address youprovide an online mer-chant is the same as thatused for the debit card,the card will be accept-ed.

Reloadable debitcards require your SocialSecurity number be-cause they have becomeso popular they are oftenused for money launder-ing. As a result, the fed-eral governmentchanged the law and nowrequires cardholderidentification so they canstop the cards from be-ing used in money laun-dering. That identifica-tion requires your SocialSecurity number whenopening a new account.

More and more peopleare using prepaid debitcards as an alternative toopening a bank account.Some like to use it as away to budget their mon-ey and they don’t like tocarry cash. Still otherslike prepaid debit cardsbecause they don’t wantto pay overdraft fees to a

bank, something that canoccur when using creditcards or checks.

Interestingly, an in-creasing number of com-panies and governmentagencies are using pre-paid reloadable debitcards to pay employeesand beneficiaries. Forinstance, Ohio ChildSupport money is sent torecipients by loading thefunds onto prepaid re-loadable debit cards.

Despite that, thesecards do come with risks.Unlike credit cards, ifyou lose a prepaid debitcard or it’s stolen yougenerally won’t be ableto recover the moneyyou loaded onto the card.Remember, thieves lovethese prepaid debit cardsbecause they are mucheasier to turn into cashthan credit or debitcards.

Finally, be aware of allthe fees associated withthese prepaid debitcards. There are feeswhen you first buy thecard and there are oftenfees each time you usethe card. All those feesadd up so you need tocheck carefully beforeyou buy.

ITNGreaterCincinna-ti (ITNGC), a non-profittransportation providerfor older adults and visu-ally impaired adults,passed the 30,000 mark inNovember, having givenover 30,000 rides to Cin-cinnati and NorthernKentucky residents us-ing mostly volunteers toprovide these rides.

The mission of ITNGCis to provide seniors (60-and-older) and visuallyimpaired adults (18-and-older) with a 24/7 trans-portation resource that is“arm-through-arm, door-through-door, go whereyou want to go when youwant to go.” This model

empowers its non-driv-ing members to regaincontrol of their transpor-tation decisions. ITNGCbreaks down the isolationthat comes when seniorssurrender their keys, andgives visually impairedadults freedom to go be-yond bus routes at a costthey can afford.

One rider says that“ITN has given her herlife back.” Volunteerdrivers are needed tocontinue providing thisgreat service. This is oneof the most gratifyingvolunteer positions be-cause people are sothankful for the help andvolunteers work directly

with the recipient provid-ing rides to dialysis,shopping and more.

ITNGC has been oper-ating here since May 2010and was brought to Cin-cinnati by the Vision Co-alition of Greater Cincin-nati and the DeaconessAssociations Foundation,both of which realizedthere was a significant lo-cal need for transporta-tion for older adults andvisually impaired adultson both sides of the river.They coordinated theirresources and effortsand together formedITNGreaterCincinnati, alocal affiliate of the na-tional ITN organization.

ITNGreaterCincinnati reaches a new milestone
