Harrison's Santa Byron Rupp Carries Seasonal Cheer
Harrison's longtime Santa Byron Rupp has delighted children for about four decades. A retired baker, he remains a lifelike figure with blue eyes and a rosy glow, visiting 90 to 95 places yearly in earlier years, now easing to parades and select church and private residences. He prepares by studying current toys to answer kids, aims not to linger too long, and plans to keep playing Santa as long as possible.

Radioactive device fire on Ohio highway ends with no leak
A pickup truck carrying a nuclear density device containing low level radioactive material caught fire on Ohio 128 near Morgan Road. Firefighters extinguished the blaze quickly and no radiation escaped. The incident prompted evacuations of Polycraft Products employees and a radiological response team. The road was reopened by 11 15 a m. The device owned by Soil and Material Engineers was undamaged. Ken Geiger piloted the truck from Gulf Oil sludge farms. State officials inspected the device and vehicle. The notice also mentions a breakfast at Dearborn Hills United Methodist Church on December 10 and a hospital patient, Sis Glasscock, at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
