The June 12 shooting death of Union City Administrator Warren Moore and wife Madge at their Indian Hill Drive home in Union remains a mystery. Boone County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Tom Scheben said that son Michael Moore made the 911 call. Scheben said he listened to it briefly. He said Michael mentioned there was a masked gunman that came in and shot his parents, and shot him, too, and he ran down the steps and apparently this person left. Scheben said there didn’t appear to be any signs of forced entry in the home. He said the sheriff’s department is under “at least the initial belief that people in the house knew people at the door.” He declined to give more specifics as to not jeopardize the case. There are no suspects and no one has been arrested as of press deadline. Scheben said investigators are not ruling out any suspect or motive. Michael Moore was recovering at University Hospital in Cincinnati. The incident happened at approximately 11:35 p.m. Scheben said the sheriff’s department is treating Moore as a victim and as a witness until there is reason to believe otherwise. Scheben said Moore has been helpful. The sheriff’s department said autopsies revealed both died of gunshot wounds to the head. Warren, 66, was shot twice and Madge, 65, was shot once. Investigators don’t know the caliber and type of weapon. The sheriff’s department said it recovered a handgun from the Moore household and it was being sent to a lab for analysis. Michael Moore, 39, was fired as a Warren County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in March 2004 after

Warren and Madge Moore lived in this home on Indian Hill Drive in Union.
Indian Hill Drive resident Gudrun Gawura said the mood of residents on the street is shock and surprise. She said it’s a quiet neighborhood and still feels safe in her home. he was accused of cooking meth, tampering with sheriff’s records, and stealing marijuana from the evidence room. He pleaded guilty to theft in office that October. Michael was residing with his parents. Union is a small town (about 3,537 residents). Mayor Don Kirby said the reaction among residents is kind of the same as his – shock and difficulty believing that something like this would happen in their community. Indian Hill Drive resident Gudrun Gawura said the mood of residents on the street is shock and surprise. She said it’s a quiet
neighborhood and still feels safe in her home. Dan Zmurk, who also resides on the street, said he’s been here 30 years and never had any problems. He still feels safe, too. The Moores have two granddaughters – one from Michael and one from older son Warren S. Moore III. City Clerk Kathy Porter said June 15 she’s had residents stop in to pass along condolences. She said she’s had e-mails and calls from her city clerk friends or friends in government. She said residents are “totally in shock that this would happen ... to two won-
derful people that loved their kids and loved their grandkids.” The sheriff’s department asks anyone with information to contact them at 334-2175 or call Crime Stoppers at (513) 3523040. Scheben said he didn’t believe the public has provided any information that has proven to lead the sheriff’s department to one specific direction or another. The mood was somber June 15 at a previously scheduled special meeting of Union City Commission. Officials announced they will leave Moore’s seat and nameplate open indefinitely, and they will now begin each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance in honor of Moore, who was patriotic and an avid supporter of U.S. troops.

Warren, Madge Moore mourned By Paul McKibben and Justin B. Duke pmckibben@nky.com
Warren Moore is being remembered for his dedication to the people of Union, a community that he served for years as an elected and appointed official. Moore, 66, and his wife Madge died in a shooting at their Indian Hill Drive house on June 12. Michael Moore, a son, was shot, too, but is recovering. The Moores have an older son, Warren S. Moore III, who is an associate professor of English at Newberry College in South Carolina. Mayor Don Kirby said Moore and Madge “were super people. He was a patriot (and) believed in our country.” The Moores had lived in Union since 1978, the city’s Web site said. He served as mayor and as a city commissioner at various times. He was first elected a city commissioner in 1982. Warren was retired from a 40-year career

in information technology, the Web site said. He became city administrator in 2006. City Clerk Kathy Porter said Moore “was a family man. He was so in love with Madge.” She said they loved each other, each one was there for the other and they loved their boys. She said Madge
was a mother that everybody would love to have and was funny. “They just both had fun together and just enjoyed each other,” Porter said. Kirby said he thought of Moore as a colleague and as a friend. Kirby said when he was sworn in as mayor in 2003, Moore was very, very supportive and offered him a lot of friendly advice. Kirby said as city administrator Moore always made sure he was in the loop on everything. Kirby said the city is going to miss Moore from a public-servant perspective and from just the way he treated people. Kirby said he is going to miss him personally. He said Moore provided a lot of help to him. Porter said Moore was the best boss that anybody could have and was like a father-figure to her. Walton Mayor Phil Trzop said Moore “was a part-time mayor with a full-time love for the city.” Kirby said Moore knew Union
about as well as anyone. Kirby said Moore “knew every nook and cranny of the city, which made him invaluable” being on the commission and later as city administrator. Kirby said the commissioners have talked a little bit about what the city might do to remember Moore. Kirby said there will be something significant to honor Moore and his years of service to the city. Kirby said naming the old firehouse on Old Union Road which is now the city’s community building after Moore would definitely be a possibility. City Commissioner Todd Sayers said, “Warren was definitely an asset to the city and will be sorely missed.” Said Kirby, “The great thing about Warren is he never saw himself as a politician. He just saw himself as a citizen-servant of the people and that came through in the way that he approached public service.”

The Boone County Fiscal Court approved its fiscal year 2010 budget at its June 9 meeting but it wasn’t without a little fireworks. Commissioner Cathy Flaig, who is running against Judge-Executive Gary Moore in next year’s Republican primary, said she was concerned about the proposed budget revenues not being met because of the downturn in the economy. Fiscal management will likely be a top issue in the race. Judge-Executive Moore said the forecast on property taxes that are in this budget are based on numbers similar to what the county has seen over the
Flaig Kenner last year. He didn’t rule out amending the budget later in the year. The new general budget is $39.4 million, approximately $300,000 less than the current fiscal year general fund budget. Flaig was the lone vote against the budget. “I think the economy is going to ... downturn and I think this budget is too big,� she said before the vote. The judge-executive asked her for specifics. Flaig had several ideas for savings including Transit
T. Moore Authority of Northern Kentucky (buses) funding, phasing in information technology, eliminate all conferences except ones in Kentucky, eliminate a proposed government relations position, no overtime except for public works and property maintenance, among other ideas. Commissioner Charlie Kenner criticized Flaig for not bringing up the proposed specific cuts earlier. The Fiscal Court had conducted other meetings about G. Moore
the budget before the June 9 vote. Flaig said she did talk about the information technology. Judge-Executive Moore said Flaig made no suggestions at the commissioner workshop. Kenner said it was the tightest budget he’s ever seen. Commissioner Terri Moore said the budget is lean. Employees won’t be receiving pay increases. Judge-Executive Moore said the county doesn’t expect any layoffs. He said the reserve funds in all of its major accounts are at its recommended level of 10 percent. “So even though we have reduced spending, the county is very sound financially,� he said.

Arboretum gets plants donated By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
The Boone County Arboretum at Central Park has some additional plants this summer thanks to a donation by a Union family nursery. The plants from Baeten’s Nursery & Greenhouses at 364 Frogtown Road include licorice vine, blue and red salvia, begonias, ornamental peppers and blue ageratum. Todd Baeten, brother Jeff Baeten and father Earl Baeten own the business. Todd Baeten said about 1,100 annuals were donated. He said the goal of the donation is to beautify the arboretum. “The arboretum should look like a cornerstone or a

Regarding more donations, he said the arboretum is probably good right now. He called the donation “wonderful.� The Baetens and the arboretum have a history together. Todd Baeten said they were in business for a couple of years and then Dick Ammon who designed the arboretum invited them to be a part of the big planting there. Todd Baeten said the nursery has donated plants and things like that before to it but nothing on this scale.

Retail project in Hebron still alive By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
A proposed retail development on North Bend Road in Hebron next to a subdivision might still happen. The Boone County Fiscal Court on June 9 unanimously approved having a first
reading of an ordinance to approve the project at its June 23 meeting. A second meeting could happen on June 30. The Fiscal Court on May 26 voted 2-2 on the proposal. It has until June 30 to act otherwise the Boone County Planning Commission’s recommendation for denial will stand. Judge-Executive Gary Moore said if there is not support from the Fiscal Court, the second meeting would be canceled. Toebben Limited wants to build a retail building next to its North Bend Square development that houses a Remke Markets store. The project is next to the Cardinal Cove subdivision and

The subdivision’s homeowners association meets at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 20, at the Boone County Public Library’s Lents Branch, 3215 Cougar Path, Hebron. Frank Dichiara, president of the subdivision’s home-
owners association, said outside the Boone County Administration Building that a vote among residents will take place at the June 20 meeting. Toebben Limited President Bill Toebben said outside Fiscal Court he’s willing to change the development. Nelda Purdon, treasurer of the homeowners association, wonders what will happen if another developer has the property instead of Toebben. “What if we get another developer that goes bankrupt? ... Or what if somebody buys it and builds multi-dwelling housing and they aren’t part of our homeowners association?” she said.

The donkey brayed loudly about every 45 minutes, which startled the children, but they went back to feeding the animal.

Bill gives fiscal courts final say on special district taxes A bill that would radically change the way some local taxes are levied was given a hearing June 11 by legislators who spent much of the day in Northern Kentucky. Senate Bill 72, as it was known during this year’s legislative session, would mandate that county fiscal
courts approve tax and fee increases levied by special districts. The bill would affect fire and library districts as well as Sanitation District No. 1, the Fort Wright-based agency that manages the Northern Kentucky’s sanitary and storm sewer systems. Those fees and taxes can
be raised in most cases by a vote of the districts’ boards of directors alone. The bill is being promoted by two Northern Kentucky legislators, Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, and Rep. Arnold Simpson, D-Covington. Both say there needs to be more local government accountability when taxes or fees are raised by special districts. The bill will be filed for consideration in the 2010 legislative session that begins in January. “I have no issue with the way special districts operate and do their jobs,” Thayer
said during a meeting of the Interim Joint Committee on Local Government, which held a two-hour meeting June 11 at Gateway Community and Technical College’s Boone County campus. “But I do believe we need more accountability in the system,” said Thayer, whose Senate district includes Taylor Mill, Independence and southern Kenton County. Boone County resident Kenny Brown, who has led political and public awareness campaigns against proposed tax increases,

spoke in favor of the bill. “The concept of unelected, appointed people having the power to tax is a complete violation of the representative government as established by the Constitution,” Brown said. “Taxpayers must have recourse against those who may impose destructive taxes.” Among those in the crowd were several of the area’s fire chiefs. Independence Fire Chief Rick Messingschlager pointed out that in Kentucky, fire districts are accountable. While the county fiscal court appoints three members, two members are elected by the public and two are elected by the department’s personnel. Voters also have the right to recall some taxes raised by fire districts. “We already have accountability," said Messingschlager, who represented the region's fire departments. “The voters have a voice.” Simpson and Thayer both said that the bill is likely to be tweaked by the time it is pre-filed for the 2010 session.

Commission to hear town center request By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
Walton leaders aren’t expecting much help with the latest request from the town center. The Boone County Planning Commission is reviewing a plan for a 50-feet-tall sign on the Walton Town Center property that could be seen from Interstate 75.
The sign, for the town center, would look similar to the 35-feettall sign on Mary Grubbs Highway. Walton Mayor Phillip Trzop isn’t optimistic about what the commission will decide. “They haven’t done us one favor at the town center from the planning commission,” Trzop said In the past, the planning com-
mission didn’t recommend building the town center or the sign on Mary Grubbs Highway, Trzop said. “They’ve voted us down twice, what’s three?” he said. City Council has the right to overturn a planning commission decision. During the June 8 City Council meeting, Trzop said he wished the
planning commission would just go ahead and deny the new sign so the city could overturn the decision. “It irritates me,” he said. Often when the planning commission denies a request, it’s because of a lack of information. Commissioners often ask for clarification on a request, and if it can’t be given, they’ll likely vote
against it, said Assistant Zoning Administrator Mitchell Light, who is handling the sign request. “We’re being cautious about what’s going in,” Light said. With the current request, there appears to be enough information about the project available, he said.
Flaig launches county campaign By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
Boone County Commissioner Cathy Flaig officially began her campaign for judge-executive with an event June 11 at the Briarwood in Hebron. Flaig said she was going to tell people gathered there about her plan to win on May 18, 2010 (the date of the primary election). She said she’s a conservative and less money needs to be spent in the county. “You cannot continually expect people to pay taxes to support things that are
not important,” she said before her remarks. “When they put the park tax on the (fall 2008) ballot, I got angry and I decided I was going to make a difference. There will not be any more taxes applied while I’m in office if I can stop it.” Flaig was the lone vote among the four members of the Fiscal Court against putting the special property tax for parks on the ballot. Voters overwhelmingly defeated it. Flaig and Republican incumbent Gary Moore so far are the only candidates who have announced
.
they’re running for judgeexecutive next year. Flaig said maybe some departments can be merged into other departments. She said the people of the county shouldn’t be worried that if she’s in office certain programs will be cut. She said she doesn’t want to cut jobs. Moore said the county regularly lowers property taxes and the tax rate is lower than it was when he took office. He said the county hasn’t applied one new tax in his 11 years. He was first elected in 1998. “I feel like sometimes
that I’m dealing with two different people here,” he said. Moore said there is a county commissioner named Cathy Flaig who sits through Fiscal Court meetings, votes with who he called “us” and never makes a suggestion. He said she then leaves the Fiscal Court meeting, becomes candidate Cathy Flaig and he hears these ideas from the media. He said that’s not leadership. Both candidates have done polls. Flaig said when she did her poll in April, she felt

Moore said his poll on the race shows his campaign with a substantial
lead and with over an 84 percent name recognition level with Republicans who are going to vote in this primary. He said he received the results in early May.

Movie night another step for Union By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

it’s something the city has been really wanting to do and fortunately the county’s parks department was wanting to bring their traditional movie nights in June to the individual cities. She said the city really doesn’t have a place to have these kind of functions. “So this worked out perfect for us and for the Boone County parks department,” she said. The city and the Boone County Parks & Recreation Department are partnering to show the film “Hotel For Dogs” that was released
earlier this year. Refreshments including pizza and popcorn will be sold. The festivities begin at 8 p.m. Franxman said the movie will start hopefully between 9-9:10 p.m. The city purchased from the two-story building from the Union Fire Protection District last year for $375,000. The Union Emergency Services Alliance that includes the fire district moved into a new building on U.S. 42 in 2007. The city hosted a cleanup and painting of the

Franxman said the building is in very good shape. She said she’s working with the fire department to collect old pictures of department’s history and legacy. She said the city would like to frame those and hang them on the walls of the interior garage area and throughout the building. Mayor Don Kirby said inside the building there is a lot that needs to be fixed. He said the city is going to try to do most of it with volunteer labor. He said there
might be a case sometime in the future where some money will have to be spent to fix it up so the city can recoup some of it because it’ll be able to rent it out. He said the city will do some events there but people will be able to rent it for such things as picnics, family gatherings and parties. He said the city is planning on some youth dances like what the Burlington Fire Protection District does. “Rather than some of the little things we’re doing now, (we should) come up with some good solid longterm uses for it and then try to see what it will take to
get the return on investment for any of those improvements,” he said. Kirby said he could see down the road using some of the truck bays for public works if the city has some of its own trucks. The movie will be shown outside the building. Old Union Road will be blocked off in front of the building from 6:15 p.m. until about 11 p.m. Parking is available at Union Baptist Church that’s located nearby at 1985 Mount Zion Road. Residents can bring blankets and lawn chairs to watch the movie. The film is rated PG.

in recognition of its demonstrated success in producing drinking water that consistently meets or exceeds state water quality standards. NKWD is among 31 water treatment plants in Kentucky to win the honor.
“This is the second year in a row the Water District has received this award. Outstanding water quality is a goal we work to meet and exceed every day, so we are very pleased to be recognized for our success in that area,” said Bari Joslyn, vice president of water quality and production at NKWD. The winners, including NKWD, were among 155 public and private water treatment plants in the state that participated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Area-Wide Optimization Program, which challenges plants to reduce turbidity levels below those required by state and federal regulations. Turbidity is cloudiness of water that can be caused by particles of sand and dirt. NKWD met the area-wide optimization program goals for both settled and filtered water in 2008 and is considered to be “totally optimized” for turbidity/microbial removal. Dr. Len Peters, secretary of the Energy and Environment Cabinet, praised all the water plants for their achievements.

Union reviews noise law By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com
Giddy up
PATRICIA A. SCHEYER/CONTRIBUTOR
Evan Kerfoot, 2, of Burlington, wants the horse, Deedee, an American Paint, to “giddy up,” so he can ride. Evan was back for his third ride on the horses at a fundraising event for the Boone County Desperadoes by the Farmers Market June 13 on Ky. 18.
The Union City Commission is considering an ordinance to further regulate noise in the community. Officials have said the city has had complaints in the past about primarily construction workers starting at 5 and 6 in the morning and working until really late at night. The provisions include: • Operating any equipment or doing outside construction on buildings and roads would be prohibited from 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. unless a permit has been obtained from the mayor or city clerk. • Motor vehicle work within any residential area that disturbs the comfort of area residents would not be allowed between 10 p.m.
$100 civil penalty. Currently, noise is regulated under chapter 92 of the city’s code of ordinances but there is nothing about time restrictions. The city commission unanimously gave preliminary approval to the new ordinance at its June 8 meeting. Final passage could occur when it meets at 7 p.m. Monday, July 6 at the Union City Building, 1843 Mount Zion Road. “If you read this ordinance it really emphasizes continuous (noise),” City Commissioner Bob Kelly said, adding that it’s not like the city is going to run out on every one-time issue.
and 7 a.m. Some activities are exempt. Those are noises of safety signals and warning devices, emergency vehicles, noise from emergency work and noise from the discharge of firearms during daylight hours. Also exempt is the noise from garbage removal under contract with the city as long as the service is operating under the time periods in the separate contract. Violators would commit a misdemeanor. They would face a maximum fine of $500 and/or a maximum prison term of 12 months. Violators would also face a

On June 11 at the Hair Design School in Florence, 11 little girls looked at pictures of hair designs, squealing at a particularly curly updo. This birthday party seemed no different from any other; a father was walking around filming the action while the girls waved at the camera and parents waited patiently around the perimeter for the party to begin. For this birthday however, Gracie Woodcock, 8, decided to donate her hair to Locks of Love. “I want to do it for another person because it will feel good and so they can wear my hair,” Woodcock said. Brenda Woodcock, Gracie’s mother, said that Gracie came up with the idea herself because of her relationship with a family friend with cancer. Gracie discovered wigs were made of real hair and that through Locks of Love people can help. “My friend Traci Clancy lost her hair,” Woodcock said. “About a year ago Gracie said ‘I want to do (Locks of Love) for Mrs. Clancy.”

Although Clancy received radiation the morning of the party, she came to the party to support Gracie. “I’m just amazed that someone so little could think of something so unselfish,” Clancy said.

Suspicious package
Boone County sheriff’s deputies responded to a suspicious package on June 11 in the 10,000 block of Remy Lane in Walton but it turned out a man had sent a jewelry box to the wrong address. Authorities closed off a 600foot section of the street. Residents in the area were evacuated for the incident that lasted two hours. At approximately 9:55 a.m., a woman reported the package on her front porch. A Cincinnati Police canine didn’t indicate on it but another did. The Cincinnati Fire Department’s bomb squad was called. Before the bomb squad arrived, investigators tracked down the person who had sent the package and learned he sent it to the wrong
address, the sheriff’s department said. The man described the box and itemized its contents. Deputies opened it and found the described contents inside of it. It was given to the correct recipient in the 10,000 block of Remy Lane.

RECORDER
Boone schools appoint assistant superintendent By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
A relative newcomer is climbing the ranks. Karen Cheser was promoted to assistant superintendent for learning support services for Boone County Schools. The position had been vacant since January. Cheser, an educator for over 20
years, spent the last two years working as the district’s director of elementary teaching and learning. “She has a real depth and breadth of experience to bring to the position,” said Chief Academic Officer Patricia Murray. Before coming to Boone County, Cheser served as an elementary school principal and a consultant and worked in both Kenton and Campbell counties.
“I’m looking forward to helping the curriculum construction,” Cheser said. Boone County is a high-performing district, but that doesn’t mean every student is high-performing, she said. “We want to be making sure that every single student is learning at a high level,” Cheser said. In the district, there are teachers who are very successful at
each school, and Cheser wants to create an environment where teachers can share successes so everyone can benefit from each other. If anyone is up to the challenge, it’s Cheser, Murray said. “She’s got more energy than five people,” she said. Cheser’s work is getting attention across the region and she was recently awarded the A.D.
Albright award from the Northern Kentucky Center for Educator Excellence. Along with her passion for education, Cheser has an added incentive to keep improving the district because her two sons attend New Haven Elementary. In her new position, Cheser will earn $102,352 a year.

Three Ryle teachers retire By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
Three Ryle originals have given their final lessons. Sarah Meece, Michele Hudson and Judy Hart are retiring from Ryle High School after teaching there since the school opened in 1992. “We all had boxes of Kleenexes,” Meece said, describing the last few weeks for the teachers. Hart and Hudson worked as English teachers, with Hart serving as the team leader, and Meece was the team leader for the career/technical department. Among the three, Ryle is losing nearly 100 years of teaching experience. All three received honors in their careers with Meece earning the Milken National Educator Award and Hart and Hudson earning Golden Apple Awards. When they came to Ryle, they joined a crew of veteran teachers who all wanted to be there. “Mr. Ryle was wonderful, and we wanted to build a school in his honor,” Hudson said. Larry Ryle served as the district’s superintendent. In the early days, the entire staff was unified and worked hard to make Ryle an excellent school, Meece said. “Mr. Cooper really motivated us,” she said. Randy Cooper was the first principal at Ryle. The goals that the staff of Ryle set out to do continue to be fulfilled, Hart said. “I think it has been an honor to

For all three, retirement is bittersweet. “I don’t think the reality will set in until August,” Hart said. All three planned vacations around the time school starts in August to help keep their minds occupied as students go back to Ryle for the first time without Meece, Hart and Hudson. “It would have been a lot easier to retire if we were unhappy,” Hudson said. All three plan to stay involved with their friends still teaching at Ryle or substitute teachers. “I don’t ever want to wear a visitor sticker,” Hudson said. All three teachers were leaders in the school that students loved and often come back to visit after high school, said Principal Matthew Turner. “They’ll be sorely missed,” Turner said. After Meece, Hart and Hudson’s retirement, only eight members of Ryle’s original staff remain at the school.

School uses CATS for graduation seating By Justin B. Duke jbduke@nky.com
Higher test scores are the key to good seats at graduation for Boone County High School. For the last two years, the school has used CATS testing to alleviate some of the confusion that comes with graduation seating. Students who score proficient or distinguished on all four content areas of the CATS test during their junior year are rewarded by getting five additional tickets to graduation and their tickets are for seats in the lower level of the school’s gym, said Principal Mark Raleigh. Students who don’t make the scores receive fewer tickets and the tickets are for the upper level of the gym. The decision is designed as an incentive to work harder in school, Raleigh said.
“We’re trying to teach kids a good, positive work ethic,” he said. Some students do the “bare minimum” to graduate while others work hard throughout high school, and the school should be honoring the latter, Raleigh said. “When you take Physical Education III and some of the less challenging courses, you’re doing less to prepare yourself,” he said. Not everyone thinks the seating arrangement is fair and the school has received complaints. “They didn’t think it was fair to not do first come, first serve,” Raleigh said. Shari Rector, a parent of a graduate, felt her family was cheated because her daughter graduated with a 3.5 GPA in honors classes, but were given a smaller number of the upper level tickets because she didn’t score well on testing used to determine funding that doesn’t impact her
academic record in any other way. “Not all kids test well,” Rector said. The gym was very crowded for graduation, and the school should consider a different location if it can’t handle the number of people attending the ceremony, she said. “It’s really sad that’s how they decided it,” Rector said. Regardless of CATS test scores, no graduate was denied the opportunity to attend graduation or not given tickets for family members to attend, but that’s not enough to make everyone happy, he said. “I guess some people don’t like that,” Raleigh said. The decision to divide up graduation seating is outside the jurisdiction of the board of education, said Superintendent Randy Poe. “Graduation is an extracurricular activity and handled by the Site Based Decision Making Council,” Poe said.

Cooper sports find success in first year By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Matt Wilhoite was given the charge of directing a bunch of “expansion” teams this past season. The Cooper High School athletic director and former Boone County High School baseball coach said despite a number of expected first-year struggles, it was a good season for the athletic program at the school, which just concluded its first school year. Cooper, named after deceased Ryle High School Principal Randy Cooper, opened in the Boone County school district with students transferring from existing schools Boone County, Conner and Ryle. “It’s been a great learning experience,” Wilhoite said. “We’ve still got some growing pains, but all in all it was a successful year. It’s been a lot of fun at times and we’ve had to deal with adversity at other times.” Cooper’s sports teams had many roadblocks to success starting out. They were trying to merge athletes from three different schools who didn’t know each other and played under different systems. For the most part, those players also possessed little varsity
experience. B e c a u s e incoming seniors were able to stay at their original school, Cooper teams were short on veteran players with polCanterna ished skills and leadership. Cooper’s graduating class numbered about 80 students, but Wilhoite said only about 15 participated in athletics. With those issues, major team sports such as football were expected to struggle and they did. Cooper’s conference and postseason alignments pitted the Jaguars against school district foes and other big schools in Northern Kentucky. “I think everybody knew what they were getting into,” Wilhoite said. “It’s not a one-year deal.” On the other hand, Cooper had plenty of success in sports that didn’t need a lot of numbers and continuity. The Jaguars had many standouts who made a name for the school. The most noteworthy was junior Michelle Canterna, who won the first state championship for the school at the Class 3A state track meet. The Conner transplant won the

The major sports will take a little bit longer.” Canterna said going to the new school was an adjustment, but
having many of her friends transfer as well made it easier. “It wasn’t a difficult transition for me because Cooper is a great school,” she said. “All the new technology is really helping out. All the teachers are so amazing.” This was Wilhoite’s first year as an AD, and he said the duties that come with running an athlet-
ic department such as paperwork and staffing events on campus were sometimes tricky as the staff tried to establish new routines. “At Boone, everything was set, all the policies and procedures,” Wilhoite said. “Here we’re building the plane as we’re flying it. Little things and small details need to be ironed out, and we’re looking to keep improving next year.”
COOPER HIGHLIGHTS • Michelle Canterna won the first state championship in school history, winning the girls long jump in Class 3A track. The girls’ team also qualified Kelsey Gregory in the 800 and the 4x800 relay team with her, Brittany Biddle, Dawn Patton and Nikki Phillips. Michael Rutherford qualified in four events for the boys’ team. He claimed a regional title in the 200, and ran on the
regional champion 4x400 team with Gary Kinross, Jon Kippler and Mason Hutchinson. Those were the second and third regional titles claimed by the school. • In wrestling, junior Matt Brewer became the first state medalist in any sport at the school, finishing eighth in the 140-pound weight class in the state wrestling meet. He had finished second in the regional tournament.
Seven Jaguars qualified in all, including T.J. Bates, Andy Gilliland, Logan Jones, Jacob Penick, Lane Jones and Christian Caddell. • In swimming, Sharli Brady won the girls’ 200-yard individual medley at the regional meet, the first such championship for the school. She posted a 10th and 14th place finish in two individual events at state and anchored a pair of relay teams with Samantha
Martz and Stephanie Van Horne also competed at state. • The boys’ golf team had a winning record in dual matches (9-7) and finished 11th out of 21 teams in the regional tournament. • The boys’ basketball, volleyball and girls’ soccer teams won district tournament games.

Like many young skaters, 13year-old Zac Coyne was inspired to take up the sport by one of its biggest stars, Tony Hawk. However, it wasn’t Hawk’s ability to grab, grind or ollie that inspired Coyne. It was his selftitled video game that perked Coyne’s interest. Four or five years ago, Coyne was at a neighbor’s house when he played “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” on PlayStation. Coyne looked at his neighbor and both agreed that they needed to be doing the real thing. “I don’t play video games any more,” said Coyne, who rarely goes a day without skateboarding. Now Coyne and his crew of 20 or 30 people can be found on the streets or at Ollie’s Skatepark in Florence doing what they love. “I love it. If I go a day without it, I get super hyper because I guess it just wears me out at the end of the day,” Coyne said. “If I don’t skate for the whole day, I just don’t feel like I did anything at all that day.” On June 13, Coyne and some of his friends competed in the 2009

Commonwealth Attorney Douglas R. Wright was a man of true compassion and strength. Working with Doug was both an honor and a privilege. Doug always searched for ways to ensure the protection of children and sought justice when kids had been victimized. Early in his term he committed himself to utilizing the multidisciplinary approach of investigating child abuse. It was in this capacity that our team at the Northern Kentucky Children's Advocacy Center had the extraordinary experience of working alongside Doug Wright. Doug not only prosecuted cases, he stood as a colleague with investigators to understand the work they had done, and guided, mentored and learned from community professionals. It was his dedication to children and commitment to do the right thing – because it was the right thing to do – that was evident in every child abuse case he prosecuted. Doug's fervor for life and care for others were apparent through his infectious smile and quick wit. He was a man of honor and integrity, a true advocate for the children and victims he served. Doug loved and diligently represented his community and now

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. “Florence Freedom, without a doubt. Close to home, free parking, cheap tickets, great baseball entertainment, family fun, great deals/sponsors. What a fantastic addition to Northern Kentucky.” T.F. “I prefer the Florence Freedom. Parking is easier and much cheaper, seats are closer to the action, cost of seat is reasonable, players play because they enjoy the game ... and it’s all fun.” C.J.W., Florence “Both. I will probably attend more Reds games than Freedom games. I enjoy baseball especially when teams are competitive. Both teams are having good seasons.” G.G. “Neither!

By the time you read this column, the General Assembly will have been in special session for several days. As I write this, we’re not sure how long the session – which was scheduled to begin June 15 – will last. The question also remains whether the state legislature will vote in favor of Gov. Steve Beshear’s proposal to legalize Video Lottery Terminals at the state’s racetracks, including Turfway Park in Florence. We’ve been running information about the gambling issue of our blog – news.nky.com/booneblog – and have received some rather thoughtful comments on the issue. Here are two that encapsulate several of the key issues in the gambling debate.
Budgetary panacea
The first comment was written by Jashawn: “Reaching for gambling revenue at the time of economic shortfall will just breed more fiscal
irresponsibility. Anyone who has lived long enough knows that an intelligent person plans for famine during feast, and plans for feast Nancy Daly during famine. “That is to Senior Editor’s say the governshould Notebook ment have saved up enough during the prosperous times to ride out any recession. Instead it grew more bloated and careless, and is now caught short. “If they are allowed to use gambling as a budgetary panacea now, they will continue to repeat bad behavior. They will never learn. “So if you want bigger, bloated, more wasteful government, support gambling. If you want a fiscally responsible government, then stand up against gambling. There is enough gambling going on with our tax dollars as it is!”
We need jobs
The second blog comment, a response to the previous posting, is by perfectsense: “Jashawn is right in one respect ... the more money government gets, the more they spend and they’ll end up short after all. “In Kentucky, I’m not sure just how this would work or how many jobs it would create. In Ohio, I support casinos simply because hundreds of people will be employed and citizens go to Indiana to gamble anyway. We need jobs. There are those who are trying to legislate personal responsibility and have the need to save people from themselves. It can’t and shouldn’t be done.” Please continue to check our blog for the latest on gambling and the special session. Again, that Web address is news.nky.com/booneblog.

“Thanks for asking. Go Cincinnati Reds – for a new and young team they are doing Cincinnati proud. I am looking forward to going to the five games my family and I already have purchased tickets for.” L.M.R. “I would have to say a Reds game. The Reds are having a pretty good season so far and I like the attitude of some of the newer players. They are a harder working group of players.” “I do like to go to some Cincinnati Steam games at the field across from Western Hills High School. This is a summer season league for college players during their off season. It’s fun to watch younger players who are playing for the love of the game, instead of a paycheck.” J.W. “I will do to at least five games this year. I am a Reds fan all the way. Even though Pete Rose did not get what he deserved from Cincinnati.” T.R. “I will attend two or three Freedom games rather than the Reds. Frankly, it’s cheaper and more fun, especially for the kids. I don’t enjoy going to a Reds game. I end up missing half the game passing food, drinks and change up and down the rows and trying to see around vendors who sell everything but used cars.” W.H. “I would more likely attend a Reds game - just because it is a tad closer and because I am used to going to Reds games.” D.K.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
PROVIDED
Betty Shelton Lawrence, right, of Walton and Wallace Whitton of Delhi, Ohio, have been friends for 71 years.
Friendship endures for 71 years
Betty Shelton Lawrence of Walton and Wallace Whitton of Delhi, Ohio, have been friends for 71 years. Wallace moved into the New Columbus community in Owen County and attended first grade with Betty. At one time, their parents lived on adjoining farms and worked together, and they attended church together until after high school. Wallace was a star basketball player at Bethany High School. “We all rode the bus together with his mother and dad, and we never missed a game,” Betty said. “Wallace did not have a car so when I had a
date most of the time he went along.” Wallace was best man when Betty married Jim Lawrence 58 years ago. Wallace enlisted in the Marines and when he was on leave he always found time to visit with Betty’s family. The friends keep in touch with visits and phone calls. Lately Wallace has had health problems. Jim drives him to doctor’s appointments and sometimes spends the nigiht at his home.

The Florence Freedom have become such a part of host Lori Snider's life, players celebrated her birthday with her.
Host families give Freedom a home away from home By Justin B. Duke
able to come home and talk baseball with his host family. “You’re not home by yourself,” he said. Lori Snider has opened her home to players since the team’s first season and built relationships that will last her a lifetime. “You feel like that’s part of your family out on the field,” Snider said. Cheering for a former player who’s now on another team isn’t out of the question, she said. “Boy, do I get some dirty looks for that,” Snider said. With that close relationship often comes the pain of separation. “If the boys get transferred or released, they’re just a mess,” Brown said. Even after a player leaves, Snider stays in touch. Often she receives emails, cards or even a wedding invitation from players who’ve stayed in her house. “It makes you feel good when that happens,” she said.
jbduke@nky.com
The team behind the scenes of the Florence Freedom makes sure the players have a place to lay their heads at night. Host families open their homes to players who aren’t from around the area, so they have a place to live for free during the season. “We have the neatest people in town,” said Shirley Brown, who coordinates the host family program. In all, 18 families offer up their homes for players. “A lot of the families that do it love it because they become part of the team,” said Josh Anderson, director of broadcasting and media relations. Already fans of the Freedom, most host families were already at as many home games as possible, Brown said. “It’s just the love of the game,” she said. As part of the agreement, families are just required to have an open room with a bed for the players, but they usually go above and beyond, Brown said. “We tell them they don’t have to feed the boys, but they usually do,” she said. After the team’s pre-season exhibition, one of the host families hosted a cookout for the entire team and of the hosts.
JAMES WEBER/STAFF
For Freedom infielder Billy Mottram, a host family means having someone to talk to when he goes home after the game.
It gets personal
As seasons progress, being a host family usually becomes more than just a business arrangement. “It’s kind of like a family,” said Freedom infielder Billy Mottram. After the game is over, Mottram is
The perks
Being a host isn’t just a one-way street. In return for putting up a player, host families get free season tickets for the Freedom and the benefits that go along with being a season ticket holder along with discounts in the team store. For more information about becoming a host, call the team’s front office at 594-4487.

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 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 changed, I bought a small, excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. The 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. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilHoward Ain liant, colHey Howard! orful 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 storage fill up. Bottom line, if you love
to take pictures of your family check out the new pocket-sized high definition video cameras. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints

t h e i r trays. I’m glad the k i d s weren’t weighed before and after. T h e Rita berries Heikenfeld were ripe and so Rita’s kitchen delicious. The best part was going 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.
Sun-cooked strawberry preserves
1 quart or pound strawberries, sliced thickly 3 cups sugar or more to taste 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cook sugar, water and lemon juice until boiling and cook until sugar dissolves.
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.
Rita’s creamed peas
8 oz. or so fresh peas, cooked 1 tablespoon each: cornstarch and butter 1 cup milk 3-4 tablespoons cream cheese with chives Mix cornstarch and milk together. Melt butter and add milk mixture. Cook until thick. Stir in cream cheese and season to taste. Pour over peas and mix.
Guru in our backyard
Chef Scott Riehle’s Apple Blue Cheese Canapés: Scott is a young, immensely creative chef at
St. Francis Friary on Vine Street in Cincinnati. I visited the friary recently. It has beautiful, serene walled gardens where the friars sometimes take their meals. Scott cooks for 11 resident friars plus unexpected guests from around the world. Scott told me, “Some like meat and potatoes, some are more sophisticated since they were missionaries in far-flung places. “This is one of my favorite appetizers to make for guests. Omit the bacon and it becomes a wonderful vegetarian option.” The friary is lucky to have this west-side chef, who’s cooking philosophy is: “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong!” 1 Granny Smith apple (Peeled, cored, cut into thin slices) 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese 1 small red onion, sliced thin 5 strips cooked, crumbled bacon 5 Provolone cheese slices, quartered 20 slices, 1⁄4-inch, French baguette Preheat oven to 375

Answer: Nothing can ruin a mouth-watering tomato more than reaching for one on the vine only to find an ugly, flattened spot on it. If the ugly spot is located on the bottom of the fruit opposite the stem end, it is likely blossom end rot, a disease caused by a lack of calcium that commonly occurs in tomatoes but can also affect eggplant, peppers and many cucurbits. The problem is worse early in the season, often affecting the first cluster of tomato fruits. Blossom end rot spots develop into dark brown, leathery decays that may affect half of the tomato. Calcium is an essential part of the chemical “glue” that
soil tests should be taken, and if needed, it can be applied as lime prior to planting. Irrigate plants as needed, and use straw or other mulch to conserve soil moisture and prevent the fluctuating moisture levels that often lead to problems with blossom-end rot. Irrigate on a consistent basis. Don't allow plants to become stressed from too much or too little water. Avoid wetting foliage as much as possible, especially in the evening, as this could encourage fungal and bacterial diseases to develop on the plant. Trickle or drip irrigation is an excellent way of getting water to plants without the risk of wetting the foliage or splashing soil onto the foliage which can also lead to disease problems. If you must water your plants in the evening, don't use an overhead sprinkler. Instead, water each plant at the base with the garden hose, care-
fully keeping the water off the leaves of the plant. This will help prevent many common fungus diseases, and will also help avoid bacterial leaf spot disease, which can ruin fruits by causing many small black spots to develop on the tomato or pepper fruit. In addition, excessive amounts of ammonium fertilizer tend to depress a plant's calcium uptake. Avoid using urea or fertilizers high in ammonium. Instead, choose fertilizers high in nitrate. Check the fertilizer label for percentages of ammonium and nitrate forms of nitrogen. Calcium nitrate is an excellent nitrogen fertilizer, although it is more expensive than other nitrogen sources.

binds cells together within the fruit. When fruits are enlarging rapidly, suffiMike Klahr c i e n t amounts of Community calcium do Recorder not reach the guest end of the fruit. This columnist causes cells to come apart, resulting in a rot or decay in that area. Calcium does not move easily from other plant parts, so any disruption in the plant's uptake can result in a deficiency. Soils in Kentucky are rarely deficient in calcium, but water plays a critical role in the plant's uptake and distribution of calcium. So maintaining an even supply of moisture is important in controlling blossom end rot. However, to be sure that a soil is not calcium-deficient,

Stevia a sweet way to get into herb gardening Growing herbs can be a pleasure for all your senses. And if you’re looking for an herb to help pleasure your sweet tooth, an herb that has no carbs and no calories, then I’ve got what you need! It’s called stevia, or commonly called “sweet leaf” or “sugar bush,” and has been used as a natural sweetener for hundreds of years. Stevia is a tender perennial, and is not hardy past Zone 7. So plant it as an annual (actually planted as an annual in
warmer zones as well). It will grow in the ground or in containers, morning sun/afternoon shade to full sun, and actually enjoys cooler weather. Definitely not the hot weather.
retain moisture and keep the soil cooler during the heat of the summer, pick a less windy site, and feed monthly with an all-purpose plant food such as Espoma’s PlantTone.
Stevia requires loamy well-drained soils, but by the same token, enjoys good, even moisture. Mounded row plantings, like with corn, is perfect for stevia. Locate in half to full day sun, mulch the roots to help
Plant one stevia plant per 10-12 inch or larger pot, using the basic container gardening instructions. Feed monthly with PlantTone or something similar. Place the pot in half day or more sun, in a low wind area, and keep the soil evenly

In containers
moist. Stevia does not like to be totally dried out for any period of time (and does not like soggy wet – just good, even moisture). In the heat of the summer, you may want to move the plant to a cooler half day sun location.
Harvesting
Pinch the tips of the stevia plant every 3-4 weeks (3-4 inches) to keep the plant shorter, fuller and less susceptible to wind breakage. Use the pinched leaves
“fresh.” Stevia is susceptible to wind breakage, so try to find a more calm area to grow, or possibly place inside a tomato cage for support. Harvest your leaves fresh as needed (morning is best), or harvest leaves or 4-6 inch branches with leaves for air drying. The entire plant can be pulled and air dried at the end of the season, or if growing in a container, moved inside and grown indoors over the winter.
Grind dry leaves and stems in a c o f f e e grinder to produce stevia powder.

Leader of distinction
Elliston lauded for vision, passion to lead Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce
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 Elliston 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 professional career to the many organizations he serves to his family and friends,” said Gary Moore, judge-executive of Boone County. 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 synthetic surface that reduces injuries and lost racing days. Even before installing the Polytrack in 2005, however, Elliston had earned the respect of the industry: The Kentucky Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association named him Man of the Year in 2002. Today, Elliston is executive chair of the National Thoroughbred 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 TriCounty 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. 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
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

Summer fun for children, parents You can do many educational and fun activities with your children to keep their minds working and imaginations flowing during the summer. An easy way to keep your child’s mind sharp is to encourage play. Studies show playtime has an important role in child development. Independent play can help children learn critical thinking and life skills as well as develop creativity. Play is not only for your children. Studies show that
parents who participate in unscheduled playtime with their children are seen as more supportive, nurturing and productive. Play includes many different facets, and not every one will fit all children. Children of various ages and genders enjoy different things. Older children may enjoy playing board games or cards. Younger children may like playing with dolls or cars and trucks. Some children may want to participate in organized activities like camps or sports teams
while others are more interested in free play activities, such as hopscotch, running through a sprinkler or creating sidewalk art. Many children enjoy quiet activities like writing, reading, drawing and construction toys, and yet others like more physical activities like tag and hide-and-go seek. Embark on family projects together. The projects not only are educational for your child, but you may learn something new in the process. Some examples of projects include growing a
garden, reading a book, teaching outdoor skills or preparing a meal. Children can learn responsibility, time management, mathematics, science and improve reading skills through these projects. Leave the house and enjoy the environment around you. Take your child on a nature walk and identify the insects, trees and plants you see. Talk about the role of each in the ecosystem. In addition to being educational, this type of activity will help your

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.
