Ethan is the son of Erin and Nick Daniel of Jefferson. There are 13 days left until Christmas. ANDREW McGINN | JEFFERSON HERALD

VFW waging battle against moldByANDREW MCGINNa.mcginn@beeherald.com

Ellie Ratliff, 5, a kindergartner at Jefferson-Scranton Elementary, was fi rst to the elevator on Dec. 5, and got a personal ride up the Mahanay Bell Tower with Santa and Mrs. Claus. “I will always like him,” she later said of Santa. Santa and the missus met with local children atop the bell tower following the fi rst-ever Community Christmas Tree lighting in the Courthouse rotunda. ANDREW McGINN | JEFFERSON HERALD

Jefferson Mayor Craig Berry (left) presents a certificate of appreciation Tuesday night at the city council meeting to outgoing Councilman Bill Figenshaw for 16 years of service on the council. At the meeting, Harry Ahrenholtz was sworn in to replace Figenshaw in District 3 for a four-year term beginning Jan. 1. “I’ve enjoyed my time on the council. It was just time to get off,” Figenshaw said. “I wish Harry all the best.” ANDREW McGINN | JEFFERSON HERALD

Auctioneer Dale Higgins (left) takes bids Sunday for a homemade pie at the St. Joseph Catho-lic Church parish center during the Nativity Festival. His assistant, Teresa Mobley, shows off the goods. The festival, which included the pie auction and a silent auction, raised $7,513 for Habitat for Humanity of Boone and Greene Counties. “When you consider the weather, that’s phenomenal,” said Erich Kretzinger, executive director of the local Habitat.

St. Joseph Parish’s annual Cookie Parade Saturday morning offered attendees thousands of home-baked cookies and other goodies. The funds raised by the St. Joseph’s Women’s Council will go toward a variety of parish activities. Pictured are (from left) Jane Rowland, Father Jeff Schleisman (as Saint Nick) and Mary Jane Fields. The event was scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to noon. All of the cookies from the kitchen had been placed in the hall display area by shortly after 11, such was the strong demand.
