Bank renovation uses ‘green’ tech By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Farmers National Bank’s new branch in Alexandria will be as much about being green as using greenbacks by incorporating technologies like geothermal heating and cooling. It will be the bank’s first branch in Campbell County. Other branches are in Independence, Walton, Falmouth and Butler – where the bank opened in 1933. Work has begun to recondition a vacant building at 7553 Alexandria Pike that has been used as a bank before. The planned opening is scheduled for either late August or September. The biggest job is the replacement of an inefficient gas boiler, said Mark Aulick, president and CEO of Farmer’s National Bank. A truck-mounted tower rig has been on-site drilling eight wells, each 150 feet deep, for the pipes for the new geothermal system. Because the earth is a constant 55 degrees, water in a series of pipes will help cool the building in the summer and warm it in the winter, Aulick said. The cost of the geothermal system is about $45,000, but over time it’s hoped the bank will save on utilities, he said. “It’s a bit more expensive, but we feel like it’s worth it,” he said. The branch will recycle materials including shredded paper from the office, and new multiple-pane windows and sets of double doors will improve energy efficiency, Aulick said. The replacement of the building’s flat roof with a pitched roof will allow space for more energysaving insulation too, he said. Being green can save money in the long run, but what is more

Opening a branch in Alexandria is a demand-driven move, Aulick said. The news of the new Campbell County branch has already brought in some commercial loans and people opening accounts anticipate they can bank in Alexandria, said Ken Rechtin, vice
president of the bank and commercial loan officer. Rechtin is also a commissioner of the Campbell County Fiscal Court. The opening of the Alexandria branch will bring six jobs to the city, Rechtin said. There will be a drive-thru and drive-up Automated Teller Machine at the new branch, he said. A new sign with a message board will also be built. The overhang on the front of the building facing U.S. 27 will be removed and more parking and landscaping installed, he said.
The bank relies on good customer service to keep its customers, Aulick said. And although the bank is known as a home to the “little guy,” with many small account holders and loans made to farmers and small businesses, there are also big account holders too. “Find out for yourself why our customers drive right by the big bank and the bank next door,” Aulick said. For information call the bank at 635-1234.

Brent “Karma” Rooney waves to a motorist traveling south along U.S. 27 in Alexandria.
Brent Rooney of Alexandria, who calls himself Karma Jen Soulace instead of his given name, is becoming known to many as simply the “Waving Guy.” Rooney walks U.S. 27 daily, waving at drivers and often shouting “You're Awesome” when a driver honks or waves back at him. Rooney said all he’s trying to do is make people happy. It’s part of his life philosophy to fight evil with a smile and wave. As part of his life philosophy, Rooney has also chosen the name of Karma Jen Soulace for himself. Life is short, and people should focus on being happy despite rough times economically, he said. Making people smile is his mission, Rooney said. Rooney’s daily walk takes him from Alexandria through Cold Spring. He often wears a shirt with the message “Waving brings out positive energy.” Annie Waymeyer, 10, of Alexandria, wrote a letter to The Alexandria
Recorder saying she thinks everyone should know about him and that he makes everyone happy. Waymeyer said she waves back when she sees Rooney, and that he must be a nice guy because he’s really happy all the time. “I think he’s very cool, and he makes me very happy,” she said. Waymeyer’s mother, Shelly, said they first saw Rooney waving at people along U.S. 27 in Cold Spring about a month ago when the weather warmed up. “He was waving at everyone coming out of the Crossroads Kroger, and very enthusiastically,” Shelly said. Shelly said she has been impressed because he made their family smile each time they’ve seen him in Alexandria or Cold Spring. “It just made us happy to see him,” she said. Other people seem to be happy to see Rooney too because they’re always waving and honking back at him, she said. “It just seemed like there was a lot of positive energy floating around him,” Shelly said.

Elliston lauded for vision, passion to lead By Pat Hunt Hoffmann Community Recorder contributor
Robert Elliston has had a 360-degree view of economic development. He's had a hand in business development, infrastructure, government relations, lending, education, and sports and tourism. He's been applauded for his vision and his ability to turn vision into reality. And this year, he's being honored by Leadership Northern Kentucky as a Leader of Distinction. “Bob is an outstanding leader whose accomplishments span from his profes-

Elliston is president and CEO of Turfway Park. Nominator Peggy Casey noted that under Elliston's leadership, Turfway became the first racetrack in North America to install a synthet-
ic surface that reduces injuries and lost racing days.

Today, Elliston is executive chair of the National Thor-
oughbred Racing Association Board of Directors. “I have no doubt that Bob's recognition by so many as a leader has much to do with his ability to see the future with such clarity and the ability to make the future happen,� said John Cain, president of Wiseway Supply. Before joining Turfway in 1999, Elliston was vice president of commercial lending for U.S. Bank. He's also served as vice president of economic and community development for the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in Frankfort. Other
positions include a seat on the board of the Tri-County Economic Development Corporation, the Northern Kentucky University Foundation, and the Gateway Community College Foundation. He served as chairman of both Sanitation District No. 1 and of the Northern Kentucky Chamber. “As Chair of the Chamber Board, Bob was strategic in every decision and available to tackle every challenge and opportunity,� said Gary Toebben, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of commerce and former president of the
Northern Kentucky Chamber. Elliston and his fellow Leaders of Distinction will be recognized during the Leadership Northern Kentucky 30th Anniversary Celebration Sept. 12. They will be inducted at the Chamber's annual dinner Sept. 29. Other honorees are Ted Bushelman, Chris Goddard, Michael Hammons, Bob Hoffer and Dale Silver.

City leaders have a ‘ball’ at ItalianFest By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Mayors and officials from seven Campbell County and Kenton County had a ball Italian-style at Pompilio’s Restaurant’s Bocce Ball courts in Newport Wednesday, June 10. The tournament, in its third year, was the first official event of Newport’s 18th annual ItalianFest on Riverboat Row June 11-14.
To play the game, a white ball is thrown into the middle of a sand-clay court. Players then pitch larger stone-like balls, scoring points by being closest to the white ball, including by knocking away the other team’s Bocce balls from the white ball. Dayton Mayor Ken Rankle and City Administrator Dennis Redmond rolled Alexandria’s team of Mayor Dan McGinley and Treasurer Roger Steffen by a score of 12-2 to win the third annual Bocce Ball Tournament. Alexandria’s team defeat-
ed Bellevue’s team, the reigning champion from the 2008 tournament, to advance to the championship game. Newport’s team fell to Dayton in the second round. Other participating cities included Wilder, Covington and Ludlow. All the players on the Alexandria and Dayton teams said it was the first time they had ever played Bocce Ball. The previous years of the tournament had only included river cities in Kenton and Campbell County. But this year suburban
cities were invited. “It was beginner’s luck,” said Dayton Mayor Ken Rankle of the victory over Alexandria to win the tournament.
Other city leaders taunted Dayton by asking rhetorically if they secretly practiced playing Bocce Ball on the Ohio River beach. “We skunked em’,” Ran-
kle said of the 12-2 score against Alexandria. But everyone from the two cities shook hands at the end of the game with broad smiles.

Gateway Community and Technical College has been recognized by the League for Innovation as a 2009 Innovation of the Year Award winner for its pioneering “hybrid library” that provides students with print and electronic resources through onsite, virtual and regional partner libraries. The Innovation of the Year Award recognizes faculty, staff and administrators at League member colleges who have designed and implemented significant innovations reflecting the spirit of innovation and experimentation at the nation’s community colleges. Gateway is one of 59 community colleges nationwide to receive the honor. The League has more than 900 member institutions in 11 countries. “Because of the rich array of regional partner libraries, including the Steely Library at Northern Kentucky University, the library at Thomas More College, and the Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries (SWON) consortium, we have been able to create a unique partnership that enables our students to access information sources that number into the millions,” said Ed Hughes, Gateway president/CEO. “There is no way Gateway could have ever provided that amount of information if we had built a traditional stand-alone library. Scarce resources would have prevented it. “Under our agreements with NKU and Thomas More, Gateway students may use their libraries in the same way as their own students,” Hughes noted. “In addition, the excellent librarians and library staff members at our campuses provide personalized service that enables our students to tap into these vast resources easily and efficiently.” Reference services are provided by in person and via phone, email, and Instant Messenger service at Gateway, NKU or Thomas
More libraries during library hours. Reference services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the Ask-A-Librarian link from the Gateway library homepage. The SWON consortium includes the Kenton and Boone county public libraries and the Cincinnati Public Library as well as 80 other libraries in the region, and the partnership provides Gateway students with open access to these resources as well. The hybrid library project was nominated by Gateway for national recognition based on quality, efficiency, cost effectiveness, creativity, learning impact and service to students. Employees involved in implementing the project include Charlene McGrath, director of library and information services; Jeremy Berberich, assistant director of information services, Ian Fry and Sheila Gray, library specialists. “Use of the library is growing exponentially, due in part to the training we provide to faculty, staff and students on how to capitalize on the many services we offer,” McGrath said. “We try to make it as convenient for students as possible. For example, students can reserve a book from either the NKU or Thomas More libraries, and our courier service will deliver it to one of our campuses, saving the student time and transportation costs. We really appreciate the cooperation we receive from our partners in helping us serve our students.” “The hybrid library is an another example of how the college relies on partnerships to solve problems and extend our effectiveness,” Dr. Hughes said. “The concept works because all of the partners and their employees do an excellent job of making it work. This award may recognize Gateway, but it is a tribute to our partners as well.”
NEWS FROM NKU Teacher as Leader program receives state approval
A new Master of Arts in Education program at Northern Kentucky University, called the Teacher as Leader Program (TLP), has received approval by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board. The NKU Teacher as Leader Program is an interdisciplinary program designed and taught by faculty from across the College of Education and Human Services, across the university and with the assistance of school personnel. This collaboration with regional schools and districts, which began during the planning process, will continue with focus groups of teachers and administrators to assess the program’s relevance and impact. Candidates must demonstrate Kentucky Teacher Standards mastery of advanced criteria. The progress of each candidate will be monitored each semester and will be reviewed at each of three transition points for knowledge, skills and dispositions. All graduates must successfully complete and present a collaborative action research project to university faculty, school colleagues, parents and other community members. NKU’s Teacher as Leader Program received approval May 18. It is the second program in Kentucky to be approved by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board. The first cohort will begin classes this summer.
Applications for World Language Camp
Northern Kentucky University is now accepting applications for its popular World Language Camp for young people, ages 10-17, which will be held July 20-24, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., on the school’s Highland Heights campus. Classes will be offered in Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish. Students will learn to speak and write as well as learn about cultures and traditions of countries where the languages are spoken. For example, in 2007 students made piñatas in the Spanish class and made dumplings and celebrated the Chinese New Year in the Chinese class. Last year, the camp focused on an Olympics theme. For the final presentation, students chose countries and demonstrated their language learning through activities such as conducting interviews, narrating sports events and cheering on their teams. At the end of the week, families will be invited to attend a final presentation and celebration. There will be a charge of $25 per student, which will cover all instructional materials for the camp. Space is limited, and enrollment will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Language choices cannot be guaranteed, but every effort will be made to accommodate participants’ preferred languages. Additional information, including an application form, can be found at http://coehs.nku.edu/gradprograms/programs2/language.php.

New coach begins to lead Mustangs By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Josh Grooms said trying to become Bishop Brossart’s new head girls’ basketball coach was an easy decision. “When I was growing up in Bellevue, I saw that they were a good program,” he said. “To be part of a school that has a good reputation and is heavily supported by the community, it looked like a great fit.” The Batavia, Ohio, high school graduate and Walton resident takes over for Camey Eberhard, who resigned after a 60-49 record in four seasons. Grooms, 28, started getting acquainted with his new team in
open gyms June 10 and will lead the Mustangs in the Eastern Kentucky University team camp starting June 15. He also went right to work interviewing assistant coaches. The Mustangs had no seniors last year and went 7-17. Jenna Bezold and Anna Dischar will be incoming 12th-graders next season. Most of the squad will be juniors. “It’s always good to have players coming back with varsity experience,” Grooms said. “I think we can make an immediate impact on them. To take a program and turn it around takes a couple of years, but I don’t think this program is broken. It just had an off year. It’s not like I’m going in and
starting from scratch.” Grooms, a graduate of Northern Kentucky University, is working on his graduate degree in special education at NKU. He has several years of coaching experience at Grant County High School and has also been a youth minister. He prefers an uptempo style of play. “I like to get out and run as fast as I can,” he said. “Basketball has changed in the past 20 to 30 years. It’s hard to run a halfcourt set now. At the state tournament, it’s all run and cut and set screens. I follow the philosophy I had in college – everyone moves at the same time. Don’t make yourself an easily guardable player.”
NKU’s McDole named baseball All-American The final feathers have been placed in the caps of college baseball players across the country, and Northern Kentucky University’s Evan McDole added another All-American nod to his impressive resume, this time from the American Baseball Coaches Association. McDole, a junior first baseman from Cold Spring, Ky., and Bishop Brossart graduate, was named a
third-team Rawlings/ABCA AllAmerican. This comes in addition to his second-team Academic AllAmerican selection. Additionally, McDole was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference and Midwest Region Player of the Year as well as an ABCA Gold Glove recipient. McDole’s 15 home runs, .670 slugging percentage, .490 on-base percentage and 45 walks led the
Norse this season, while McDole was second on the team with a .355 batting average, 55 RBIs and 17 doubles. Also, his .990 fielding percentage was second on the team and led all NKU infielders. McDole helped lead the Norse to a 41-24 record in 2009, including the team’s fifth GLVC championship in the last eight seasons.

Mustangs race into strong team future By Adam Kiefaber akiefaber@nky.com
Armed with only one senior, the Bishop Brossart High School softball team ended the 2009 season as one of Northern Kentucky’s strongest, winning the 37th District title for the fourth straight season and amassing 25 wins despite a challenging schedule. As strong as the Mustangs were, head coach Mel Webster expects his squad to be even stronger next season. “I hope they realize how good they can be,” Webster said. “This is a team that could win the region, get to the state tournament and win the All ‘A’ next year. “The ceiling on this group is unlimited.” Leading the group is sophomore ace Alicia Miller, who set school records in ’09 for innings pitched with 221.1 and in strikeouts with 237. She also pitched in all 36 games, compiling a record of 25-11, had 10 shutouts, three perfect games and a 0.92 earned run average. “She is just one of those people who is going to work hard and get better,” Webster said. “I believe you are going to see a better pitcher in Alicia next year, if that is even possible.” Waiting in the wings is freshman pitcher Erin Franke, who led her junior varsity squad to a 16-3 record in ’09. Webster wants to use Franke on varsity next season to rest Miller. On JV, Franke had a 16-3 record, threw 17 complete games, struck out 94 batters in 104 innings and had a 1.35 earned run average.
Mustangs’ top returning players Sophomore Lindsay Griffith – .433 BA, .606 SLG, .460 OBP, 45 hits, 16 doubles, 26 runs scored and 28 runs batted in. Junior Jenna Bezold – .376 BA, .523 SLG, .397 OBP, 41 hits, 11 doubles, 20 runs scored and 34 runs batted in. Junior Paige Baynum – .357 BA, .408 SLG, .417 OBP, 35 hits, 19 stolen bases, 22 runs scored and 21 runs batted in. Sophomore Alicia Miller – 0.92 ERA, 24-12 record, 221.1 innings, 237 strikeouts and only 12 walks. Franke’s JV teammates also performed well, with a .357 team batting average. However, with only one departing senior, it might be difficult for many to move up to varsity. “That is a good problem to have, but nothing says, ‘if you started one year that you get to start the next year,’” Webster said. “You always have the opportunity to come up and take somebody else’s job.” The Mustangs will also return three of the region’s top hitters in sophomore catcher Lindsay Griffith, junior first baseman Jenna Bezold and junior center fielder Paige Baynum. Griffith led the team with a .433 batting average and also played well defensively. “I know that I am prejudiced, but I think she (Griffith) is the best catcher in Northern Kentucky,” Webster said. “Defensively, I will put her up against anybody. She is just unbelievable behind the plate. I think the future is certainly bright for her as far as going into college.”
New state law makes sports safety course mandatory Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear signed HB 383 recently, a law requiring high school coaches to complete a 10-hour sports safety course in emergency planning, heat and cold illnesses, emergency recognition, head injuries, neck injuries, facial injuries and principles of First Aid. The 2009 session of the Kentucky General Assembly passed
the bill, sponsored by Rep. Joni Jenkins (District 44). The new law includes a measure that requires high school coaches to complete a sports safety course on how to prevent common injuries. “This is an important piece of legislation that I hope will protect the health and safety of our student athletes,” Beshear said. “I
applaud the sponsors for their efforts to protect our students from the dangers of heatstroke, illness and injuries incurred while participating in sporting events through the bill’s requirements for proper training and equipment.” The course must by taught by a qualified professional who must be a certified athletic trainer, registered nurse, physician or physi-
cian assistant licensed to practice in Kentucky. All coaches must pass a test after the course. Beginning in 2009-2010 at least one person who has completed the course must be at every high school athletic practice and competition. Also included in the legislation, the Kentucky High School Athletics Association, with assistance
from the Kentucky Department of Education, are required to staff and coordinate a study of sports safety to be completed no later than Oct. 1. This study, among other things, will collect data regarding sports injuries, by sport, in Kentucky and examine data reporting requirements and responsibilities for oversight when injuries occur.

Andy Miller was the winning pitcher. Evan Morse hit his first-ever high school homer, a 360-foot shot to right center. • Defeated Campbell County 17-0 in the semifinal game. Brady Hightchew pitched four innings of onehit ball while only throwing 35 pitches – 24 for strikes. Hightchew also led the 24-hit attack with two triples and two bunt singles. The team had beat them 7-
2 in 10 innings a week before. • Championship game against Ryle (same two teams as last year). Newport Central Catholic defeated Ryle 9-8 in 10 innings. Eighth-grader Conner Bartels (St. Therese) was unreal in relief of starting pitcher Nick Woltermann, according to freshman coach Kevin Gray. Conner went 4 2/3 innings and shut down the Raiders to allow Newport Central to come back to tie the game and eventually win it. Logan Martin led the hitting attack with four hits and five RBIs.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Focusing on visual arts
I feel compelled to write in relation to the visual arts program and the importance it has in the curriculum of our Fort Thomas schools. Due to the time in the school year, I feel urgency to notify parents of elementary public school children in Fort Thomas and any concerned citizens as well, of the possibility that an opening for an elementary art position may not be filled due to the lack of funds to do so. Sad to say this could become a reality before the parents of the children involved will be informed and then the decision that is made will be irreversible. Obviously the state of the
Alexandria Recorder
June 18, 2009
economy is taking its toll, as well as the damage over the years from the unchallenged SEEK program implemented by the state due to a lawsuit forcing supposedly a more equitable distribution of school funds. This has been a hard price to pay. There have been other sacrifices we have been forced to make over the years because of this, and they are painful as well. As it stands now each of our elementary schools employ their own music and physical education teacher. However over the years two elementary visual arts teachers have been shared by the three schools. I am extremely concerned now that it may be reduced to one
visual arts teacher for the three schools. This would definitely be a reversal for the program and the amount of time our elementary students will be educated in the visual arts. My concern stems from two areas, I have grandchildren currently in the school system and they love art and also I was the elementary art teacher at Woodfill and Moyer schools from 1989 until my retirement in 2003. If I am speaking too soon and this possibility does not become a reality, I will be the first one to cheer. But if I am silent and it becomes a reality, then I feel my years an art teacher have lost

Happy Father’s Day
Lillian Davis, 8, of Fort Thomas wishes her “No. 1 Dad” Doug Davis a Happy Father’s Day. “... He works his very best to try to make me happy and he succeeds,” Lillian said. “I would like to restore the favor. He always puts me first no matter what the task is. Some examples of what he does for me is when my grandfather and two uncles invited my father to go watch the Reds hitting practice in Florida, he declined because he wanted to spend it with me. He always coaches my ball teams every year. ... Raising a girl has its challenges that might be a little more work than a boy needs, especially being raised by a dad. Girls can have a lot of drama.

Which are you more likely to attend this summer, a Cincinnati Reds game or a Florence Freedom minor league game? Why? “I’ve already been to a Reds game but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.” J.H. “Florence Freedom. It’s cheaper, less crowded and more enjoyable watching guys who love the game play.” K.P. “Reds.”

As we get ready to celebrate the Fourth of July and the summer fireworks season, information concerning the legality of discharging various types of fireworks may be helpful. Kentucky law allows the retail sale and use of “common fireworks” such as sparklers, fountains, illuminating torches, trick noise makers, snakes, smoke bombs, snappers, loud whistles, wheels and ground spinners, all of which are designed primarily to produce limited visual and audible effects. These fireworks may only be sold to persons 16 years of age and older. Except for the sale and use of the above noted common fireworks and except for public supervised displays of fireworks, Kentucky law prohibits selling, possessing, using or exploding all other types of fireworks. Fireworks, other than common fireworks, are known by law as “special fireworks” which include such things as bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial devices, firecrackers, helicopter aerial spinners, mine shells, and chasers. These special fireworks which cannot be sold at retail include but are not limited to firecrackers containing more than 2 grams of explosive composition, aerial shells containing more than 40 grams of pyrotechnic composition and other display pieces which
RECORDER
fireworks is ancillary to the primary course of business do not need a license to sell common fireworks at retail. However, any other person or business selling common fireworks at retail must register with the State Fire Marshall’s Office and display a registration certificate at the location where the fireworks are being sold. Under Kentucky law, the penalty for violating the above noted fireworks provisions include a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $1,000 and/or confinement in the County Jail for up to 30 days. Every year many persons, especially children, are injured using fireworks. Sometimes children and adults even lose fingers or hands because of the misuse of fireworks or because of defects in the fireworks themselves. Parents and children should be extremely careful to avoid injury caused by fireworks and also to avoid possible criminal charges that may be associated with the sale and use of special fireworks. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

Lonneman, who has been at St. Catherine for nine years, said at first, coming from 14 years working in public schools, he struggled with leading a religious school. “Coming here was very different than the public schools, where you can’t talk about your faith,” Lonneman said. “But the teachers here helped me grow as an administrator, and I quickly became comfortable with this role.”

But what a long road it is that leads human character occurs only once in the whole history of human finally to that realization.”
beings.” Such uniqueness makes it impossible to say who’s normal. Government, science and religion have their own “normal” molds. The government mold says we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile. Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is sta-
tistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.” Individuation (not individualism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carry-
ing our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity. This is the most difficult path but paradoxically also the easiest because it is the only one that will allow you to die with the knowledge that you lived your life through and through.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

New video cameras save money, space on vacation changed, I bought a s m a l l , excellent, v i d e o camera with the tape inside the unit. Howard Ain T h e Hey Howard! size was so small I could hold it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back with great pictures. I thought video couldn’t get much better – but I was wrong.
If you’re like me, you love to take videos during family vacations – I’ve been doing it for years. But if you haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at how small the cameras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology
I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the
pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me to continue taking pictures when I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise. I have since downloaded the video to my computer and looked at the pictures side-by-side with video I had previously taken with my other camera. Even though the older pictures were good, these new pictures were far superior and were taken with a
camera so small I can put it in my pocket – and often did while on my trip. One other thing, the new Flip camera cost just a fraction of what I paid for that state-of-the art camera years ago. The Flip Ultra HD cost me less than $200. Other companies make similar small cameras – like Kodak, whose camera uses memory cards that you can change when they become full. Replaceable cards are an advantage because it means there’s no need to stop and download your videos should your camera’s stor-
age fill up. Bottom line, if you love to take pictures of your family check out the new pocket-sized high definition video cameras. They don’t have all the bells and whistles you’ll find on larger more expensive cameras, but the trade-off in size and price makes them well worth considering.

Let sunlight cook next batch of preserves What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughtersin-law, and their kids went with me to A&M Farms in Brown County to pick strawberries. The aroma that hit us when we got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so family-oriented. The little ones got to help pick and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids
weren’t weighed before and after. T h e berries were ripe and so delicious. Rita The best Heikenfeld part was Rita’s kitchen g o i n g back to my house where we made
50 jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is seeing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.

Put berries in, lower to simmer and cook just until they start to lose their color and shrink a bit. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan (I use cookie sheets with sides) in single layers. Set in sun for three to four days. When berries are plump and turn darker red and syrup has jelled, pack into jars without reheating. Store in refrigerator up to a month or in freezer up to six months. If it rains, bring inside. If insects are a problem, cover with cheesecloth.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
