Opening day set for county building By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County will open its new three-story government services center to the public Monday, Nov. 23. The county’s cost for the 52,000-square-foot county administration building at 11th and Monmouth streets is $13.5 million and will consolidate offices from at least three different buildings in Newport. The health clinic for the county, county clerk’s office and Property Valuation Administrator are all planning to join the county in opening to the public Nov. 23. “We’re a one-stop location pretty much for all county services other than the courts,” said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. “A convenient one-stop location.” For the public, there is a third floor view of the downtown riverfront skyline and amenities for staff include private lockers and showers they can use after exercising before work or during lunch, Horine said. The county will take control of the building from the builder Oct. 30 and will officially move offices Friday, Nov. 20, he said.

The office space is complete with furnishings that were already on order when Campbell County Clerk Taunya Nolan Jack decided not to move the driver’s licensing office as the clerk before her had previously agreed to, into the new building, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. possibly until as late as March 2010, said Sheriff John Dunn. “We are just going to go through our tax season down here,” Dunn said.

But, although large-scale H1N1 vaccinations will not occur at the county health centers, it could put a strain on staff’s ability to take time to move, Gresham Wherle said. “The timing of the move will most likely be in the middle of our swine flu vaccination campaign, which obviously is going to require a good portion of our staff time and resources,” she said.

Tax bills are required to have a physical address placed on them, and two addresses couldn’t be put on the same bill, Dunn said. So, for convenience-sake, it was decided to stay put, especially because many people come inperson to pay their bill instead of mailing their payments, he said. Campbell County Clerk Jack Snodgrass said his office has by far the most records of any office moving into the new building, and will close Nov. 19-20, and possibly part of Nov. 18 for the process. The new building will also help streamline the office’s operations, he said. Auto renewal, the clerk’s busiest office handling 60,000 customers a year, will be on the first floor, and the clerk’s voter registration and records office will be on the second floor in the new building. “Right now we have a lot of walkways and cubbyholes where we have to distribute work, so our efficiency is going to improve a lot,” Snodgrass said.

Cold Spring Council lowers tax rate By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Council has set the 2010 property tax rate lower than the previous year’s, but the still-growing city expects to still gain $50,000 more revenue from new development. The city was surprised by the amount of new taxable real estate in the city, about $40 million, this year, said City Administrator Mick Vank. Much of the new development was from the completion of condominiums in the Granite Springs development, Vank said. Council set a new property tax rate for 2010 of $1.64 per $1,000 of assessed property during an Oct. 8 special meeting. The past year’s property tax rate was $1.69 per $1,000

of assessed value. State law allows each city to approve a rate 4 percent higher than the compensating rate, but after months of debate, council decided by a 3-2 vote in favor of a lower rate. Council members Lou Gerding and Brenda Helton voted against the rate that was approved, and council member Stuart Oehrle was absent from the meeting. “Taxes should always be debated, and taxes should always be heart-felt,” said Mayor Mark Stoeber. Stoeber said that an owner of a $350,000 house would save about $18. If the council had approved keeping the tax rate at $1.69 per $1,000 of assessed value, the city would have collected about $30,000 more than it will, but

that the tax rate is also cumulative, Stoeber said. “So, it was a discussion of $30,000, but it compounds,” he said. “It boils down to about $1 million over 20 years.” Stoeber said he was impressed that the debate was about the future and the city’s strategic plan, and not just about the city’s future in the next three to five years. The city’s strategic plan features a 30-year street repair plan for all 60 miles of streets, he said. Replacing a street costs about $1 million per mile, and needs to be done every 35 to 40 years. The city needs the extra 4 percent in the tax rate to fulfill all the goals of the city’s long-term strategic plan that was set up six years ago, Gerding said. Helton said other cities in the area assess street repair improve-

ments, and Cold Spring does not at the moment because of council’s decision to come up with a long-term street plan using existing revenues. Helton said she thought is was more important to maintain the revenue stream necessary for when street repair work needs to be done. “I just felt like $18 a year was not that much of a hardship,” she said. Council member Rob Moore, who voted for the lower rate, said he didn’t think the strategic plan would be negatively affected by the decision. “I figured that when that strategic plan was created they didn’t figure on the economy we’re in,” Moore said. “Any break we can give our citizens I want to give them,” he said.

Every clean up, Shaw said groups of 20 to 50 NKU students help out the city officials. “This is a true collaboration between the university and the city,” said Paul Young, an NKU teacher whose class participated in the clean up. For resident Tom Broomall, the event makes

Forum takes on education challenges By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Organizers of a public forum in Campbell County concerning education will put the quality and funding of schools in Kentucky to the test in a panel discussion Oct. 22. The public is invited to attend a public forum about education in Kentucky that’s being organized by the Campbell County Democratic Woman’s Club. The forum being billed as a nonpartisan public service event. The meeting will be at the Wilder city building, 520 Licking Pike, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, and light refreshments will be served. Titled “How these critical times in education affect our families and schools,” the discussion is the third in the club’s “Whose Life Is It Anyway?” public meetings series. The idea is for elected officials to be able to sit down and talk about problems and to give the public a chance to tell them their feelings and concerns about education, said Laura Roberts, a member of the Democratic Woman’s Club committee organizing the event.

Of utmost concern is what will happen in the next legislative session of the General Assembly when it comes to education, Roberts said. “Education is important,” she said. “With the cuts that we’re face now, there needs to some discussion on how we go from here because children are our future.” The keynote speaker will be Jack Moreland, president of Southbank Partners, who is a longtime educator in Northern Kentucky. Rep. Arnold Simpson, D-Covington, who was the co-chair of the Budget Review Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education in the Kentucky General Assembly, will provide an overview of education issues in Kentucky before several panelists speak and a question and answer session. Campbell County Judgeexecutive Steve Pendery, Republican, is also scheduled to speak at the event. The panelists for the evening will include Lynn Poe, Principal of Cline Elementary School, and Sharron Oxendine, president of the Kentucky Education Association. For information call Roberts at 581-4371.

New winery ready for visitors to pour in

$5 million waits for Campbell residents

By Chris Mayhew

cmayhew@nky.com

To taste is free, but only for one day, when the owners of the family-run Camp Springs Vineyard celebrate the grand opening of their new wine tasting room this month. The Enzweiler family will provide each visitor with a free taste of their white, red and raspberry wines during the kickoff of the new tasting room at 6685 Four Mile Road near St. John Church in Camp Springs from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18 during the third annual Camp Springs Herbst Tour. After opening day, there will be a regular weekend tasting schedule of 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. It’s the second winery with a tasting room in Campbell County. StoneBrook Winery, also in Camp Springs, was the first tasting room in Northern Kentucky when opened in 2005. Brothers Kevin and Chris Enzweiler, and their father

Lonnie Enzweiler, constructed a barn-like building on their family’s 50-acre farm for their newfound passion for wine making. Chris’ expertise is in the chemistry of wine making, and Kevin focuses on keeping the grape vines healthy and growing. In 2008, the Enzweilers have bottled Vidal Blanc, a white; Chambourcin, a red that’s a French-hybrid, and a Rasberry Wine. Those are the wines that will be available for tastings or sale by the glass or bottle. For the new tasting room, they intentionally chose to build all the walls and ceilings out of wood. “We tried to keep as

The first floor tasting room features a bar with a varnished top made of walnut, and a base of hackberry and ash, and all of it cut from the trees from the family’s farm. Antiques used by the family in generations past, and locally made art and quilts for sale line the walls of the room. A restored 1910 player piano with vintage paper scrolls

plays songs including “Stars & Stripes Forever.” Both the first floor and second floor will be rented out for events including meetings, parties and wedding receptions. And the basement serves as the production facility for fermenting and bottling. People can come out and just enjoy a taste, a glass, or take home a bottle of wine, and enjoy the experience of being in a farming environment, Lonnie said.

Missing something? Maybe you don’t realize it yet, but the Kentucky State Treasury might be holding onto some money for you, a family member or one of your friends. The Kentucky State Treasury has $5 million in unclaimed property from Campbell County residents, and at an Oct. 19 event in Newport people will have forum to ask for their property back. Treasury office representatives will bring its list of Campbell County names connected to unclaimed property to a special event at the Newport City Hall, 998 Monthouth St., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19. “The State Treasurer is trying to be creative to deliver those funds or property to their rightful owners,” said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. Whether people live in Campbell County now, or have ever lived here, they could have unclaimed property they have a right to,

Horine said. People can come and look under their names or their relative’s names to see if there is any property that is unclaimed, he said. While the majority of the property is money, some of the property is actual objects, he said. Horine said the Treasurer’s office has made visits in other counties, but Campbell County is probably the most urbanized county that this program has been brought to so far. Kentucky State Treasurer Todd Hollenbach will also speak about the Oct. 19 event and his office’s unclaimed property division, at the Campbell County Fiscal Court meeting in the Alexandria courthouse, 8352 E. Main St., at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7. If people don’t want to wait to see if their name, or someone else’s name that they know, is on the list, the Treasurer’s Web site features claim forms and a database of unclaimed property people can search by a last and first names at www.kytreasury.com/apps.

Area police seek to reduce unsafe driving in N. Ky. By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

Creating a buzz

The state has awarded grants to several law enforcement agencies in Northern Kentucky to help them reduce unsafe driving. Erlanger Police Chief Marc Fields said during a press conference Oct. 5 at the Kentucky Speedway’s Fort Mitchell office that his department has tried to increase the number of citations it writes for violations that cause accidents. “We study the accidents to make sure what the causes are and then we try to target those violations, whether it be speeding, following too closely, reckless driving, those kind of things,” he said, adding it will also try to increase seat belt usage by 5 percent. Florence Police Lt. Joe Maier said his department will use its grant to target speeding, following too

closely, cutting people off, drivers not using their turn signals and any indicators of driving under the influence such as having bright lights on. Officers will work extra hours. He said the department will also buy preliminary breath tests, an accident camera and a new laser radar unit. Alexandria Police Lt. George Schreiner said speeding is one of the department’s biggest issues, especially out on the AA Highway and U.S. 27. The department will use its grant to put officers on the roadways to target speeding. Departments receiving grants are: • Boone County Sheriff, $25,000 • Campbell County Police, $25,000 • Independence Police, $20,000 • Erlanger Police, $18,000 • Highland Heights

Police, $18,000 • Alexandria Police, $15,000 • Kenton County Police, $15,000 • Fort Mitchell Police, $15,000 • Florence Police, $15,000 • Lakeside ParkCrestview Hills Police, $7,000 There have been 598 road fatalities in Kentucky this year, according to preliminary information through Oct. 4. That’s an increase of four for the same time period last year. Last year, Boone County had 11 people killed in collisions, Campbell County had seven and Kenton County had six. Statewide there were 826 total highway fatalities last year. The grants are funded from the federal government. The state said the grants will also help to educate the public about the

necessity for child safety seats and seat belt usage. Some departments are required to have a local match. The departments with a local match are Florence Police, Independence Police and the Boone County Sheriff. “We are firmly committed to improving the safety in Kentucky communities by providing law enforcement with these necessary resources,” said in a statement Chuck Geveden, executive director of the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. “We must attack the problem in the forefront before we risk losing more lives on Kentucky’s highways.”

Nominees named for vacant judgeship in Campbell Co. The Judicial Nominating Commission, led by Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr., announced nominees to fill the vacant Family Court judgeship in the 17th Judicial Circuit, Division 3, which serves Campbell County. The three attorneys named as nominees to fill the vacancy are Laurie Bilz Dowell, Mary Gayle Hoffman and John Robert Jennings. The Family Court judgeship was left vacant by Judge D. Michael Foellger, who resigned Jan. 1 to join the Senior Judges Program. • Laurie Bilz Dowell of Cold Spring is an attorney with the firm Twehues & Verst and is an assistant county attorney for the Campbell County Attorney’s Office. She earned her juris doctor at Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law, grad-

uating in 1988. • Mary Gayle Hoffman of Newport is president and owner of The Hoffman Firm, PSC, in Elsmere. She earned her juris doctor at Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law, graduating in 1980. • John Robert Jennings of Alexandria previously served as a staff attorney for Judge Foellger. He earned his juris doctor at the University of Kentucky College of Law, graduating in 1975. When a judicial vacancy occurs, the executive secretary of the Judicial Nominating Commission publishes a notice of vacancy in the judicial circuit or the judicial district affected. Attorneys can recommend someone or nominate themselves. The names of the applicants are not released. Once nominations occur, the individuals interested in the position return a questionnaire to the

Office of the Chief Justice. Chief Justice Minton then meets with the Judicial Nominating Commission to choose three nominees. Because the Kentucky Constitution requires that three names be submitted to the governor, in some cases the commission submits an attorney’s name even though the attorney did not apply. A letter naming the three nominees is sent to Gov. Steve Beshear for review. The governor has 60 days to appoint a replacement, and his office makes the announcement. Circuit and district judges who are appointed to fill vacancies and wish to try to retain their seats will run for elected office in 2010. The regularly scheduled election for district judges is in 2010. District judges serve four-year terms. The next regularly scheduled election for circuit judges is in 2014.

Appointees to circuit judgeships must run for election in 2010 and 2014. Circuit judges serve eight-year terms. The election schedule can be found on the Kentucky Secretary of State Web site.

Flu threat may pass, but sanitizing stays By Chris Mayhew

The threat of the H1N1 flu has prompted schools to implement precautions that are here to stay including gluing countless automatic hand sanitizer dispensers to walls. In addition to the preferred method of encouraging students and staff to wash their hands, hand sanitizers have been popping up in hallways and next to classroom doors in all Campbell County Schools in recent weeks. There probably won’t again be a time when there aren’t hand sanitizer stations, said Campbell County Middle School Principal David Sandlin. Sandlin said the sanitizers have been installed in almost every corner of the

school to make them easy to find and use. “We are still really promoting that the kids wash their hands, which is still better than just hand sanitizer,” said Juli Hale, director of communications for the district. The school has always sanitized classrooms and other areas at the end of each day, Hale said. But the district has stepped up its sanitizing efforts even more so this year, she said. The hand sanitizers will probably be around for a while because this year it’s H1N1, but next year there may be something else, Hale said. “Keeping the students germ-free seems to be a positive no matter which germs we’re facing,” she said. So far, student attendance has not dropped sub-

stantially because of the H1N1, Hale said. But there have been more than several cases confirmed in the district, Hale said. “At this point we have had a confirmed case in each of our buildings,” she said. Student attendance has been down this year from the norm of about 93 percent to about 91 percent, Hale said. It seems parents are heeding district advice to err on the side of caution and keep a child showing any symptoms of sickness home, she said. “We are really encouraging that even if they’re sick at all, if they have a slight fever, to keep them home,” Hale said. District officials also closely followed what was happening when Bishop Brossart High School closed

school for almost a full week in September, Hale said. Besides the school being nearby, Brossart students ride some of the districts buses, she said. There have been discussions by district officials about what it would take for the district to call off classes because of an outbreak of flu, Hale said. The discussions included how low attendance would have to drop before calling off school, but no number was decided. Instead, the district will consider both how the learning environment in schools are being affected, and whether it’s best for the community to call off school, she said. “You’re impacting your families both ways to stay open or to close,” Hale said.

First-graders raise money for tower

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

First-graders at Moyer Elementary School are getting some hands-on experience in helping their community. The class recently started a service learning project to raise money for the repairs needed at the stone water tower in Tower Park. “One of the teachers, Tracy Malone, read about the tower needing repair in the Recorder and thought it would be something fun for us to do as a service learning project,” said Mary Kinsella, another first-grade teacher at Moyer. “Since then, the project has just skyrocketed.” The water tower, a historical landmark in the city, has a deteriorating motor that is in need of repair, especially towards the top. The roof of the tower is also in need of repair. City officials have not given a cost estimate for the project, but have said it will likely come with a six-figure price tag. The students have learned about the tower through visits by Mayor Mary Brown, Renaissance Manager Debbie Buckley and by visiting the tower with Fort Thomas resident Bill Thomas,

Tigers celebrate stadium renovation They’re grrreat and Bellevue Independent Schools want everyone to know. Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes selected Gilligan Stadium as one of 55 youth athletic fields out of thousands of entries as a winner in their field renovation program. The community celebrated the honor at a rally Oct. 1. “On behalf of the Bellevue Independent Schools, I want to express my appreciation to the entire Northern Kentucky area for their support in the recent Kellogg’s Turf Makeover Contest,” said Superintendent Wayne Starnes. “Your assistance has enabled this school district to accomplish far more than it otherwise would have.” Everyone in attendance was treated to cereal, while students from Grandview Elementary, cheerleaders, band members and members of the school’s sports teams led the celebration. “Winning the contest means a lot,” said Kim McIntyre, who entered the stadium into the contest. “Not only are we going to get help making our stadium better, people now know who we are; we are a community who sticks together no matter what.” Kellogg Company’s contractor, Brickman Landscaping, will be conducting a site visit at Gilligan Stadium. The approximate value of Kellogg’s commitment is up to $15,000 per field.

Bellevue buckles down in win

Conner 47, Campbell Co. 12

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Bellevue High School football team keeps the river city paddle trophy after a 56-7 win over Dayton Oct. 9. The Tigers (5-2, 3-0) are tied for first place in the local Class 1A district with Beechwood. Beechwood plays at Ludlow Oct. 16 and then hosts Beechwood in the last district matchup Oct. 23. Dayton (0-7, 0-3) hosts Walton-Verona Oct. 16 and plays at Bishop Brossart Oct. 24. The Greendevils need to win at least one of those games and possibly both to make the 1A playoffs. Ricky Buckler made his last regular season game against Dayton memorable, as the Tiger senior ran for 301 yards and five touchdowns. He now has 1,549 yards and 23 scores. DJ Slater had two TD runs, including one from 12 yards out that gave Bellevue a 22-7 lead in the second quarter. Alex Hegge returned an interception 70 yards for a score to account for a 28-7 halftime advantage for the Tigers. That was his second “Pick Six” this year among his four interceptions. Hegge is the team’s leading receiver this year with 15 catches for 216 yards and a score.

NewCath 38, Holy Cross 21

Newport Central Catholic has an extra week to prepare for its next game. The Thoroughbreds earned the rest with a 38-21 thumping of Class 2A district rival Holy Cross. The ‘Breds next contest is Friday, Oct. 23, at Lloyd. A win would secure a third straight Class 2A district title for NewCath. The running game keyed the victory over Holy Cross.

Running back Chris Kelly added 159 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries. “Our offensive line played great and our quarterback and running back had a super game,” New Cath head coach Bob Schneider said.

Bellevue RB Ricky Buckler breaks free for a Tigers’ touchdown against Dayton Oct. 9.

TONY TRIBBLE/CONTRIBUTOR

NewCath quarterback Brady Hightchew runs the ball against Holy Cross Oct. 9. Hightchew’s vision and ability to see the entire field while running at or near full speed impressed his coach and left the opposition scratching their heads. The Indians scored first, on a one-yard run by Brayson Smith. The ’Breds then reeled off 31 unanswered points. “I thought we started out kind of sluggish,” Schneider said. “They scored, and I think that woke us up a bit.” After Kelly tied the game at 7 with his first touchdown run, Hightchew connected on a 39-yard scoring pass to Brian Doyle. The ’Breds took advantage of a blown pass coverage by the Indians. Quarterback Markel Walker tried to lead a comeback for the Indians in the fourth quarter. He threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Josh Jasper and rushed for a 38-yard score, but it was too little, too late. New Cath’s final two games are road contests at Lloyd and Beechwood. The ’Breds are a young team, with only eight seniors. The coaches and players will spend the bye week working to solidify positions and bolster special teams play. Lloyd’s passing attack

GREG LORING/CONTRIBUTOR

Dayton QB Patrick Schwierjohann drops back to pass against Bellevue Oct. 9. will be a major test for the ’Breds young and inexperienced secondary. Hightchew continues to impress with his command of the offense. NewCath has its sights set on a return trip to the state championship game, but a lot has to be done in the next few weeks to prepare for the postseason. “Our last three games, we’ve started to show that we can move the ball well on offense,” Schneider said. “We are going to work real hard to clean things up these next few weeks.” The Thoroughbreds’ offense is hitting its stride just in time for another deep postseason run. New Cath’s 3-5 overall record does not at all indicate that this is a down year for the program. The ’Breds have played one of the toughest schedules in northern Kentucky. With the win over Holy Cross, NewCath re-entered the top 10 of the Enquirer Coaches’ Poll. All five of the losses have come to teams that were ranked in the top ten at the time. All are still ranked ahead of the Thoroughbreds with the exception of Campbell County, which fell to No. 11 when the ’Breds slipped in at No. 10 this week. “We have played a hellacious schedule,” Schneider said. “If we can get to 5-5 we’ll be in a good spot for the playoffs.”

The Camels lost their third straight game to drop to 2-5, 0-3 in the local 6A district. Campbell plays at Cooper Oct. 16 and hosts Simon Kenton Oct. 23. The Camels have to win both games to have a shot at making the playoffs. Against Conner, the Camels trailed 34-12 at halftime to the Cougars and standout senior quarterback Nick West, who threw for 266 yards and five touchdowns. Michael Kremer had two TD passes in the first half, one to Joe Franzen and the other to Corey Cox. But he threw three interceptions.

Bishop Brossart 21, Walton-Verona 15

The Mustangs pulled out a key win, their first-ever district victory in the local Class 1A ledger. Brossart (4-3, 1-2) hosts Beechwood Oct. 16 and Dayton Oct. 24. The Mustangs are currently in fourth place in the district ahead of Dayton and Walton-Verona, both winless in district play. Chris Bowman carried the way for the Mustangs against the Bearcats, as he carried the ball 37 times for 212 yards and three touchdowns. He also had nine tackles.

Lloyd 51, Newport 22

The Juggernauts (4-3) jumped out to a 31-0 halftime lead and cruised to victory. Lloyd pile up 237 yards rushing, led by Seth Chappie’s 131 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. Lloyd quarterback Dylan McGuire passed for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Demitri Brown completed 11 of 16 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 128 yards to lead Newport (3-3). Lloyd plays Holy Cross Oct. 16 and Newport plays Fleming County

Camel defense leads way to strong season By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Because of weather cancellations, the Campbell County girls’ soccer team has to work to break their school record for wins, but their mark for fewest losses is assured. Campbell had a record of 11-2-3 entering the 19th District semifinals Oct. 13. They were two wins shy of last year’s 13-5-3 mark, the best win total in team history.

“Overall we’re doing real well,” head coach Dave Morris said. “We tied Notre Dame which we’ve never done before. We tied Brossart and hadn’t done that in a while.” Those came in consecutive games, a scoreless draw with Notre Dame, topranked in the state coaches poll, Sept. 30, and a 2-2 game against the rival Mustangs three days later. The two losses have been to district rivals Highlands and Newport Central

Catholic. The Camels have only given up one goal in their wins and just seven for the season. The back line, led by senior co-captain Anne Marie Dumaine has been one of the best in the area. Second-year starter Carolynn Dreyer, also a standout track sprinter, is the stopper. Junior Sarah Carroll and freshman Taylor Robinson are the other starters in the back. Sophomore goalkeeper

Megan Rauch has seven complete-game shutouts. “Four of them play the whole time,” Morris said of the defense. “I like having them as a unit because they play well together. (Rauch) is the best goalkeeper I’ve had since I’ve been here. She’s not real big but she makes big stops.” On offense, the leaders are junior Kaitlin Bryan with 16 goals and senior Amy Neltner with 12. Neltner is a co-captain. “(Bryan) stays late and

practices shooting and turning,” Morris said. “She scores on all-out sprints and timing shots, striking the ball well. She’s also very fast. We have a lot of speed on the team. (Neltner) is very fast and attracts a lot of attention. She is so active and gives Kaitlin a lot of openings.” The Camels have three other seniors in Tory Siple, Carmen Schneider and Kaitlyn Rice.

Whitacre credits teammates for goal record By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Beth Whitacre wouldn’t have wanted her 100th career goal to come any other way. The Covington Latin soccer senior reached the century mark Oct. 7 at Newport. Less than two minutes into the game, she put a rebound in the net after teammate Grace Wyatt fired a hard shot at the Newport goalkeeper. Play stopped for a presentation and gifts from Whitacre’s teammates.

“It feels really good,” said Whitacre, a Dayton resident. “I’m especially proud of the people who helped me because without them I wouldn’t have done anything.” Chief among those is Wyatt, who Whitacre estimated has recorded an assist on at least 60 of her goals. “She’s been a big help to me throughout our years here. She’s really great,” Whitacre said. “She helps me on and off the soccer field. The whole team has been very supportive.”

Undefeated Saints focus on improving jweber@nky.com

They got a taste of postseason glory, now the Thomas More College football team wants to take the next step. After a 5-0 start, the Saints were ranked 21st in the latest Division III poll. Last year, they were 8-2 and won their first Presidents’ Athletic Conference championship. That earned them a trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament, where the Saints lost 44-23 to North Central. “They were the No. 2 team in the country and we were beating them for a quarter and a half,” said senior quarterback Trevor Stellman, a Conner product.

“We learned we have to do some little things better.” Added Newport Central Catholic graduate and senior linebacker Brandon Kohrs, “We got satisfied because we won the conference. We realized you can never be satisfied.” The Saints took that dissatisfaction to the tune of a 5-0 mark. Playing the same schedule in the same order as last year, TMC avenged a 41-14 loss to John Carroll from 2008 with a 14-7 win to open the season and have since beaten three league foes by comfortable margins. “We’ve improved a lot each week,” TMC head coach Jim Hilvert said. “John Carroll was a great team and that gave us a lot

We cannot plateau.” The offense has averaged 34 points and 414 yards per game. Stellman, a third-year starter, has 294 rushing yards and 1,027 in the air. He has completed 66 percent of his passes and thrown 12 TD passes to three interceptions. “(5-0) is a great start, but it’s better to be undefeated in the end,” Stellman said. Senior veteran tailback Cordario “Monty” Collier has 293 rushing yards and Kendall Owens (Cincinnati La Salle) has 184. Stellman has not relied on just one receiver, as when he’s not throwing to his backs wideouts Chris Farley, Nick Olthaus (Elder), Austin Studer

(Campbell County) and Mercier Doucette (Boone County) have taken turns having big games. “We have a lot of guys who can hurt you,” Hilvert said. “It can be two or three different guys every week.” The defense is led by senior linebacker Brad Steinmetz, a two-time AllAmerican and the team’s leading tackler this year. Kohrs is the third-leading tackler and recently named a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy, a award that honors off-field success as well as football. He’s focused on helping the team. “(5-0) is a great start, but in this conference, you lose one or two games and you lose everything you’ve worked for. You have to take it one game at a time.” “We play very fast and very physical on defense,” Hilvert said. “We have improved a great deal from last year.” Hilvert said his seniors have done a great job of leading this season, including Stellman, who’s going to end up high on several career passing lists at the school. “I want to finish strong and keep the program going,” he said. “This is a dream come true to play college football and be on a successful team.”

Cub Scouts clean Clay Ridge Road

After a week of rain the weather breaks and Cub Scout Pack 75 cleans Clay Ridge Road. On Sept. 26, 17 members and supporters of Cub Scout Pack 75 earn money for their Pack along with helping to make Campbell County a little cleaner. The Pack is chartered with Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church, with over 30 active boys participating. The “Trash for Cash” program is administered by Campbell County Solid Waste and is funded with Grant Money. The Scout clean-up crew was primarily comprised of the adult leadership for the scouts due to safety restrictions placed on the participant’s age. The Scouts cleaned the five mile stretch of Clay Ridge Road collecting sixty six bags of trash. The money earned will be used to fund the various programs and activities the cub scouts participate in throughout the year. This was a great way to give back to the community and our neighbors, along with supporting our boys. Marty Hart Pack 57 Cub Master Alexandria

Fort Thomas deer hunt

In response to Mr. Sheffield’s letter on Oct. 8, I for one wish that he would quit grasping at straws in concerns to the deer hunt and come back to reality. If he were to actually understand that 1. The city of Ft Thomas can not regulate

hunting only the State DNR can do that. 2. It cost money to do a back ground check and who’s going to pay for that? 3. In order to hunt you have to have the land owner’s permission or it is considered trespassing/poaching punishable by seizure of all hunting gear, vehicle, hunting license and jail time. 4. The free ranging hunters lurking about should not worry him as much as the late night garbage pickers that are scoping out our cars for valuables or the door to door sales people that are checking out our big screen TV while they stick a bogus business card in your door. Maybe he will increase his life expectancy by a few years because he will not worry himself to death over things that have a minute possibility of happening. I have two small children and worry more about them catching the swine flu from putting their hands in their mouth than I do about them being hit by a stray arrow. Oh and by the way if he has a hook up with somebody at Kmart that can get me a hunting license for $10 that would be great it would save me around $110. As for our City Council I think they are doing a great job trying to appease everyone but we all know you can’t please everybody all the time but you can please most of them some of the time. Rick Heilman St. Nicholas Place Fort Thomas

Economy’s impact deepens New economic data paints a disturbing picture of growing poverty. The recession started last year, but its impact has been far greater in 2009. With the jobless rate still climbing and many people unable to find work after months of searching, 1.5 million out-of-work Americans are expected to lose assistance by the end of this year. Unemployment in the eight Northern Kentucky counties averaged 6.0 percent in 2008, but rose to a rate of 10.9 percent by the end of July. If the current recession follows past trends, unemployment and poverty will continue to rise long after the economic recovery. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that assuming an average unemployment rate of 9.3 percent for 2009, poverty will increase this year to 14.7 percent, and will hit children disproportionately hard. For children, the consequences of poverty can be long-lasting, leading to poor nutrition, poor health and poor prospects for success in school. In the short term, less money to spend means greater hardships for families and low retail sales for communities. Assistance like unemployment, energy assistance and food stamps must continue to help Kentucky residents who have lost their jobs and need help paying for groceries, housing, health care and other basic needs. The growing need is palpable. Food Stamp participation rates increased 13 percent from 2008 to 2009, with about 1 in 6 Kentuckians receiving food stamps by March 2009. At Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission, our crisis assistance requests have risen by 25 percent since the recession hit, with more than 11,000 families receiving help with rent, food, energy or other basic needs during the fiscal year that ended on June 30. It was the first time many of these families had requested

financial assistance from our Florence agency, indicating Tandy that the economy is reaching deeper Community into Northern KenRecorder tucky’s middle guest class population. columnist Well-targeted aid can reduce poverty and its painful consequences even during a recession. Among an array of tools Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission uses against the recession and poverty are a series of workforce training programs aimed at disparate underprivileged populations. YouthBuild of Northern Kentucky, part of a nationwide program, provides educational and vocational training for 16- to 24year-old dropouts. Our Mature Workers Program provides job training and placement assistance for workers 55 years of age and older. And NKCAC’s newest initiative works in partnership with the Life Learning Center of Covington to provide job placement, counseling and assistance for a broad spectrum of potential workers. Without the combination of federal, state, local and charitable responses more families would be suffering and our economy would be in far worse shape. To avoid choking off the recovery now and to build for the future, we must continue help for the unemployed and work as a region to prevent more layoffs and the resulting hardships. Improving the long-term health of our economy must start with helping those who are hurting most. From what we have seen, the need is unlikely to diminish any time soon. Florence Tandy is executive director of Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission.

Avoiding Halloween night ‘tricks’ Trick or treat is designed to give young children a safe activity and “treats” on Halloween night. However, it is the “trick” part of trick or treat that can make Halloween a dangerous time of year. Halloween is traditionally the worst single day for vandalism and animal cruelty. These crimes are committed most often by teenagers and young adults. Vandalism and animal cruelty are not pranks, they are crimes that are punishable by law. Vandalism accounts for thousands of dollars in clean-up expenses by property owners and municipalities. Vandalism also can be dangerous when stolen road signs lead to deadly accidents. Acts of vandalism are considered criminal mischief, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250 to $10,000 fine, depending on the severity of the damage. Animal cruelty is not only morally wrong, it is punishable by 90 days to 12 months in jail and up to a $500 fine. If torture of a dog or car occurs and the animal suffers serious physical injury or death, it is now a Class D Felony. The person could go to the penitentiary for up to five years and have a fine. Property owners can take proactive steps to avoid becoming victims of these crimes this Hal-

Autumn tour a rural retreat By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

PROVIDED.

Fort Thomas resident Frank Davidson, owner of Concrete Concepts, poses for a picture on a patio he recently refinished using CTi products.

Fort Thomas resident gives concrete a face-lift Rehab, redesign and renew. That is the purpose of Fort Thomas resident Frank Davidson’s business, Concrete Concepts. Using Concrete Technology Incorporated (CTi) products including colorenhanced modified acrylic cement, Davidson is bringing a new look to concrete in the Tristate. “It’s amazing what this stuff can do,” Davidson said. “This is not stamped concrete, which can fade quickly, this is resurfacing existing concrete.” CTi products allow everything from driveways and patios to garages and walkways to be resurfaced with a wide selection of colors, textures and patterns. Davidson said the product goes on top of existing concrete, making it more attractive, durable and giving it protection from the elements.

Davidson started the business earlier this year after finding out he will soon be furloughed for an extended time from his job as a pilot for ASTAR Air Cargo. “With that prospect I thought I better start looking elsewhere,” Davidson said. With past experience in construction, Davidson said starting the business made sense when he came across CTi. “These products offer homeowners less expensive alternative to ripping out their patio,” Davidson said. “I can also resurface kitchen counter tops and give them the look of granite or marble for less.” For more information about Concrete Concepts, call 816-2679 or visit www.concreteconceptstristate.com.

Each year, residents and business owners open up their doors to visitors, and beckon drivers to tour the rural hillsides, taste some wine or hot cider, take home a pumpkin, and tour working farms and six of the area’s signature hand-built stone houses.

Locations include working farms, artist’s studios, two wineries with tasting rooms and vineyards, a fire department, horse farms, an equestrian center, and six stone houses and four churches all built in the mid1800s. There are 20 stops on the tour. The rural Campbell County community is south of Silver Grove and North of Alexandria in an area surrounding Four Mile Road. The tour, named after the German word for autumn, is in it’s third year and is a good way to show people from the city what farming life is like today, said Kevin Neltner, of Neltner’s Farm at 6922 Four Mile Road. As in years past, visitors to Neltner’s will have the chance to take a wagon ride, meander through a corn maze, pick pumpkins from a patch, sip hot cider, and

Instead of horse demonstrations, there will be a display of vintage farming horse power with several antique tractors that children can climb onto at Little Rock Farm, 2802 Ten Mile Road. New to this year’s tour are two additional stone houses to visit, the Arrasmith Lily Farm that cultivates and sells organically grown daylillies and iris, and the Catalpa Ridge Farm, which breeds and sells miniature Hereford Cattle. People interested about their family’s ancestry in the community will find genealogy records for at the local churches on the tour, said

Don Wiedeman, a member of the nonprofit Camp Springs Initiative, the preservation group that organizes the tour. Wiedeman, will exhibit his photographic work as one of the tour stops at 7742 Stonehouse Road, including natural, wildlife and city images and the scenery around Camp Springs. Camp Springs is an oasis in an area where there’s a lot of urban and suburban activity, said Wiedeman, who has lived in the area for 50 years. The tour is a pleasant way to visit the area and see the animals and produce that’s being grown, and many of the stops have something to taste or drink, he said. “We’re a very quiet community, it’s very scenic, and it’s a very rural area,” Wiedeman said. Tour maps will be available at the Campbell County Fire Distrcict No. 1 firehouse in Camp Springs, 6844 Four Mile Road, the day of the tour.

Thoughts about an unwelcome topic Some of us may turn the page when we see what this column’s about. It’s about death. And to us page-turners, Col. Nathan Jessep (Jack Nicholson), might angrily blurt out as he did in the movie, “A Few Good Men,” “You can’t handle the truth!” He could say that to many of us because our culture is the most death-denying that’s ever existed. Dr. Irvin D. Yalom points out in “Staring at the Sun” how our anxiety about dying varies throughout our life cycle. Even as young children we harbored a certain angst about death and the possible losses it would entail. From about six to puberty, death anxiety ordinarily goes underground and returns more forcefully during adolescence. Teenagers can become preoccu-

pied with death. Many teens try to soothe their anxiety by seeing themselves as masters of life and dispensers of death in violent video games or watching horror films. Others defy death by taking daredevil risks, driving recklessly, bingeing or engaging in extreme sports. Their conclusion: “See, I’m invulnerable!” Ordinarily, death anxiety subsides as we concentrate on pursuing a career and beginning a family. Then midlife occurs. The kids leave home, retirement looms and death anxiety returns. From then on, concerns about death are never completely gone from our minds – though we try so desperately to ignore them. Awareness of our mortality is not necessarily the same as the

fear of mortality. The difference depends on our neuroses as well as our spiritual and psychological health. An authentic religious faith plays an ever-increasing role in our dealings with death as it has for people throughout the centuries. It’s understandable that today, as our faith diminishes, we have an almost obsessive concern with lengthening life and staving off death. Yet, as Dr. James Hollis writes in “What Matters Most,” “All of our instrumentalities, our wondrous medical armamentaria, only extend our stay a few years at best. …We are living longer and longer as a species, but in service to what?” How is it that a person might achieve what he or she wants in life and still feel miserable?

Are our lives four times more happy and meaningful that the much shorter lives of those who lived in ancient Greece; or two times more happy than those who lived just a century ago? Will those who live longer in this present century live better lives, and how do we define “better” – just by living longer? Gold and diamonds are precious because of their limitedness. Each of our days and years are precious because they are limited. A hiding from the reality of death is a denial of one’s basic nature. The integration of the idea of death, rather than sentence us to a bleak pessimism, can act as a catalyst to plunge us into more authentic ways of living. We will prize depth over abundance; wisdom over knowledge; humility

over arrogance; growth over Father Lou comfort; meanGuntzelman ing over shallowness; a solid Perspectives spirituality over materialism. We will come to know that above all else, it is love that gives our lives meaning and liberates us from fear of our mortality. Love can give meaning to an entire lifetime. Love goes on forever. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@communitypress.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

‘Income’ eats away at Social Security disability checks 2002, and didn’t get approved u n t i l 2007. “It took me 5 1/2 years to g e t Howard Ain approval, Hey Howard! j u m p i n g through their hoops to do whatever they wanted me to do. I had been denied twice,” she said. When Hurst finally got approved, she learned Social Security would give her benefits going back five years. “I found out you’ll receive back pay in a few increments the first year, but they won’t give you the

rest for another year,” she said. What happened next was the biggest surprise for Hurst, who has been living with her boyfriend, Cecil, for many years. “They said that food and shelter in someone else’s house is considered an income – so they took the difference of that,” she said. Hurst counted up all the money the Social Security Administration took out for food and shelter each month from 2002 to 2008, and it came to more than $13,000. This is money neither she nor Cecil will receive. Hurst said, “I asked, ‘Well, if you’re going to take the money from me, why

don’t you give it to Cecil who has been taking care of me all these years?’ She said, ‘Well, he should have been keeping receipts.’ I wasn’t told about that.” Hurst said she’s learned a valuable lesson. “I had the wrong attorney. I should have worked with a disability attorney who knew the ups and downs,” she said. So, if you’re thinking about applying for such benefits you should first know it can take months, even years, to get approved – and you may have to go through several appeals. You certainly should hire an attorney who focuses on this type of law. To avoid losing back pay for food and shelter, write

out a loan agreement with the people with whom you’re living. State in the agreement should benefits be awarded you will repay them for their expenses – and state an estimate of that value. Unfortunately, Hurst had no such agreement so it’s too late for her. But she said now, after telling her story, at least everyone else will know what to do.

The recession is expected to add more people to the Social Security rolls – so many, in fact, that the government said it will pay out more benefits than it will collect in taxes the next two years. Social Security disability claims have jumped nearly 20 percent since the recession began. It seems a lot of people who had been working despite their disabilities are now applying for Social Security Disability benefits after losing their jobs. If you find yourself in this situation, you have to be very careful to avoid losing benefits unnecessarily. Cynthia Hurst of Blanchester applied for Social Security disability back in

Co-workers beg him for this apple cake

Talk about a busy couple of weeks. Just check out my “Out & About” info below. I really love connecting with my family of Press readers like this. And you know what the common thread is that runs through every presentation/class I teach? It’s not just about the food, but who shares it with you, and the most important things in life aren’t “things.” That philosophy is represented well in our first recipe.

Aunt Ruth’s apple cake

You have to try this. From friend and awesome singer Linda Dollenmeyer. Here’s her story: “My Aunt Ruth in North Carolina is one of the best cooks I have ever known. In her 80s she lives alone, is active in her church and sings with a group that visits nursing homes. “Going to her house was, and is, like going to the best bed and breakfast. This

c a k e recipe is to die for. She makes it for my cousin Randy to take to work. His Rita c o - w o r k Heikenfeld ers always want to Rita’s kitchen k n o w when he is bringing it again.” By the way, when a recipe says to “cream” you want to beat it really well and it will start to look a bit creamy. This cake reminds me of one my sister, Judy Nader, an Eastern Hills Journal reader, used to make for our Mom during apple season. Everyone looked forward to it!

Cream together:

1 cup vegetable (Canola, etc.) 2 cups sugar

Add:

2 eggs, beaten 3 cups chopped fresh apples 1 cup chopped nuts 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Sift together:

3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt

Add to creamed mixture. Bake in sprayed 9-by-13 pan in 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.

Icing – Yum!! Cream together:

1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1 cup brown sugar

Melt on low heat and bring to a boil.

Add: oil

2 cups confectioner’s sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Pour onto cake while cake is still warm.

Preserving herbs the ‘green’ way

I’ve had a few requests for how to dry herbs the old-fashioned way, now touted as being the “green” way. Here’s how I do it: Except for lavender (the flower buds contain the most flavor and fragrance), I like to use the leafy portion of the herbs – the flavor of herbs is best right when the plant is beginning to form buds, but most of the time, I harvest whenever I can. Sometimes it’s at this stage, other times the herbs are in full flower. And remember, the flowers of culinary herbs are edible, so if you want to dry them, that’s OK.

Traditional bunching of whole plant:

Most herbs dry nicely by these traditional methods. Strip an inch or so from the bottom of the stem and hang upside down secured with a rubber band or string away from heat, light and moisture (or hang upside

down in paper bag). You can also place the leaves in single layers in a basket, on a cloth or screen. When they crinkle between your fingers, they’re dry. Strip leaves from stems and leave whole if possible. Volatile oils stay intact until you crush them for cooking. Store away from heat and light. To use dry herbs in place of fresh, use l/3 of the amount called for, since dry herbs are stronger.

Tips from Rita’s garden

Herbs hung in bunches, dried naturally usually turn a grayish green. To keep a brighter color, you can chop up the herbs coarsely, lay them on screens or a towel, and let them dry. They will dry faster and retain a nicer color.

Horse network invites new members The Northern Kentucky Horse Network will hold its fall quarterly membership meeting in Falmouth on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the Pendleton County Extension Office starting at 7 p.m. The Northern Kentucky Horse Network (NKHN) is a horsemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization created by a group of equine professionals and enthusiasts with the assistance of the Boone, Kenton and Campbell County Cooperative Extension Services three years ago. Their goals and mission were to: â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage the Northern Kentucky region to become a model equine community for all disciplines and breeds â&#x20AC;˘ To protect the horse population â&#x20AC;˘ To provide recreational opportunities â&#x20AC;˘ To encourage sound

management practices â&#x20AC;˘ To promote agritourism and interest of the local horse industry Dedicated leaders and members have worked very hard to accomplish these goals. Since its inception the NKHN has built nearly eight miles of trails at A.J. Jolly Park with another seven miles currently under construction, hosted its inaugural horse show and conducted educational events several times each year. They have helped provide training for Northern Kentucky Technical Rescue personnel with large animal rescues, and developed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;www.NKYEquine.comâ&#x20AC;? Web site, a one-stop

resource for horse-related services. Recognized as the 2008 Most Active Horse Group, the NKHN was credited by the Kentucky Horse Council as the type of organization that â&#x20AC;&#x153;exemplifies the type of regional organization that the Kentucky Horse Council would like to see develop throughout the state.â&#x20AC;? The group has now grown to more than 300 members, most of who are from Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. If your are a horse owner or horse-lover, please join

the NKHN at its Wednesday, Oct. 21, quarterly membership meeting to learn more about the group, its members and activities, share your ideas and knowledge, and learn how you can become more involved in the Northern Kentucky horse community. The meeting will be held at the Pendleton County Cooperative Extension Office located at 45 David Pribble Drive, Falmouth. For more information, contact Jim Mayer, 859-496-4976, or visit www.NKYHorseNetwork.com.

The need for key Christmas programs, such as Angel Tree, Adopt-a-Family and Holiday Food Baskets, will likely increase over prior-year levels. This is the result of the sagging local economy, which is driving up the level of unemployment in the area.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLD SPRING IN CAMPBELL COUNTY KENTUCKY PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF ALL REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL/TANGIBLE PROPERTY, INCLUDING MOTOR VEHICLES, SUBJECT TO TAXATION WITHIN THE CITY OF COLD SPRING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2009-2010, PURSUANT TO THE CAMPBELL COUNTY ASSESSOR’S PROPERTY VALUATION ASSESSMENT; AND LEVYING AN AD VALOREM TAX THEREON FOR CITY PURPOSES; AND PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT AND COLLECTION OF SUCH TAXES AND THE PENALTIES AND INTEREST THEREON; AND DESCRIBING THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE TAXES SO COLLECTED SHALL BE APPROPRIATED AND USED.

PROVIDED.

Food prices in Kentucky rose slightly in the third quarter of this year, marking the first increase in 12 months, according to Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation’s quarterly survey. Driven by a sharp increase in the price of ice cream, butter and cheese, the October survey of 40 popular grocery items showed a nearly 3 percent rise from July, at $105.27 compared to $102.26. That ends a string of three consecutive quarters with a lower price average. The average has fallen, however, by about 7 percent since October 2008. The Kentucky statistics are contrary to American Farm Bureau’s recent survey involving 66 communities in 29 states. AFBF reports a slight decline since July, plus a 10 percent drop over the past 12 months. In the Kentucky survey, the average was higher for 25 of the 40 items. The big gainers were ice cream (up by 40 cents a gallon), cheddar cheese (94 cents higher per pound) and butter (up by 23 cents a pound). Milk prices continue to fall, which is welcome news to dairy farmers who have seen farm milk prices plunge significantly this year in response to high inventories. For October, the average on a gallon of whole milk was $2.70, as compared to $2.86 in July. (The recent national survey has milk at $2.87). Among items that fell in price during the past three months were rib-eye steak, sausage, chicken breasts, potatoes and wheat bread. Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation has conducted the survey for four decades as a tool to reflect retail food pricing trends and their relationship to what farmers receive for their raw commodities. On average, the farmers’ share of the retail food dollar is around 19 cents.

Travel & Resort Directory

Bed & Breakfast

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.
