‘Light Up’ parade route changes By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com
The Light Up Goshen parade won’t be stopping traffic this year. After some residents complained to the Goshen Police Department about portions of Ohio 28 being closed, the parade committee redrew the route. The fourth annual Goshen Chamber of Commerce sponsored parade will start at Marr-Cook Elementary School on Goshen Road then continue to Ohio 28, where it will turn left and then right on Dick Flynn Boulevard. “Police Chief Ray Snyder told us there were about seven to nine calls from people last year who complained about being stuck for too long on Ohio 28 so we wanted to come up with an alternative,” said Sue Bowman, member of the Goshen Chamber of Commerce. “There won’t be any traffic that has to be stopped so I think it will be much better for people.” Other changes to this year’s parade include a wider variety of participants and starting a half hour later than usual. “We’re going to start at 4 p.m. this year so that it will be darker when we light up the Christmas

The Goshen Fire & EMS Department will have a truck in the parade, despite the controversy caused last year when trustees decided to keep emergency vehicles out of all special events as a cost saving measure. Trustee T.J. Corcoran confirmed the fire department will be in the parade this year and said Santa would be making an
appearance as well. “The parade promotes community involvement and brings people into our area,” said Kim Johnson, chair of the parade committee. “What we’re doing here is just a nice way to say ‘hello, come check us out’.” Light Up Goshen will take place Saturday, Nov. 21. The parade will begin at 4 p.m. and people are invited to line up starting at 3:30 p.m. along Ohio 28.
Four candidates, three questions Kimberly Beuke, Carol Huhn, Shirley Shipley and Julie Tolliver are running for the four open seats on Owensville Village Council.

The Goshen Fire & EMS Department will open its doors to the community from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3. Goshen’s firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians will be there to meet residents, talk about fire safety and even do some grilling. “Kroger donated some hot dogs to us so we’ll have those and other refreshments,” interim Fire Chief Doug Engled said. “We’ll also have AirCare here and a car we’re going to set on fire to demonstrate how we extinguish them and handle an emergency situation.” There will be a second demonstration in which firefighters and paramedics remove someone from a car in a simulated crash, Engled said. “We’re going to triage the victim, pack them up on a back board and try to get the coroner to come out to pronounce them dead to show people what our work is really like and what can happen if they’re not careful,” he said. The event also will feature a fire safety smoke house and activities for children. “The smoke house is a camper that has been designed to teach children fire safety and what to do in an emergency,” paramedic Darrell Roberts said. “It simulates 911 calls so they can practice that and then we put theatrical smoke in the house to teach them how to crawl under it.” The death of a 17-year-old Goshen Township resident in a fire a few years ago prompted the department to ramp up its fire prevention programs, Roberts said. “We’re really trying to get the word out to kids in the school system,” he said. “We’ll be giving away coloring books, fire helmets, pencils, crayons and an activity book which will encourage them to create a home fire escape plan with their parents.” Roberts and Engled said they were looking forward to meeting more members of the community. “Come out and get to know your local firefighters and public servants,” Engled said. “Without the public, we’re nobody so we want to thank them.” The Goshen Township Fire & EMS Department is at 1849 Ohio 28.

Four candidates are running for four seats on Owensville Village Council. The Community Journal North asked each candidate to answer three questions. Their responses are:
Kimberly Beuke
Q: Why are you run ning? A: I am running because I want to do my part to improve Owensville and its image. I would like to see a farmer’s market for next year, free concerts in Gauche Park, more community events. I would also like to see Owensville grow. Annexation is essential for the growth of Owensville. We have a wonderful village and I think it could be much more. Q: What are your qualifications for office? A: I have been on council for approximately two and one-half years. I have worked in the legal field for approximately 30 years, and feel my work and life experiences could be of benefit to the village. Q: What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: Main issues facing the village would be annexation, zoning and water/sewage improvements.
Carole Huhn
Q: Why are you run ning? A: I am running to help the residents of Owensville who deserve a representative who will vote for the services required to maintain a safe, clean, caring and growing community. Q: What are your qualifications for office? A: I have over eight years of experience as a council woman for Owensville and I have served on several committees such as annexation, special features and finance. In addition to my direct experience, my career as a real estate agent and my time as a resident for over 18 years have given me
extensive knowledge on what Owensville needs to do to maintain property values and grow businesses. Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: The main issues facing the Owensville village are to promote and provide services to our residents while staying within our budget during this time of economic stress. Shirley Shipley Q: Why are you run ning? A: I am running because I enjoy serving the residents of Owensville. I will be finishing 16 years on village council. I guess I got the political bug from my dad Ben Puckett who served over 20 years prior to his death in 1990. Q: What are your qualifi cations for office? A: Experience would be my best qualification. I have learned a lot in the past years and would like to use that experience to continue seeing things get done to benefit the village of Owensville. Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: One of our main issues is water problems on the west end of town. We are getting a grant to fix this problem which has been a problem for sometime. I would like to see more development of Gauche Park. We have a half basketball court from grant money being built and resealing of the large walking trail. We have hired someone to write grants for us and hope to have more improvements in the future. Of course one of the big issues facing our village is the same as other municipalities and that is the economy right now. With citizens losing jobs we lose tax money which
makes it harder to keep things running smoothly. Another issue is fixing our sidewalks and possibly putting sidewalks where they are needed. Just a comment: I was born and raised in and around Owensville and I love living here. I love the people and have seen lots of changes through the years. It is a peaceful community and I have always felt safe here.
Julie Tolliver
Q: Why are you run ning? A: My home and community are very important to me. A more communicative community would encourage new and existing residents to get involved. Increased involvement could make Owensville a more attractive, comfortable and secure place to live. My experience living in other small communities can bring a fresh view of the way we do things in Owensville. Q: What are your qualifi cations for office? A: I have been a resident of Owensville for 4 years. I have over 15 years experience managing projects in the construction industry. I held office on the Assumption Parish Parent Teacher Organization Board for five years, and held the positions of recording secretary, vice president, president and past-president. I am currently on the Owensville zoning commission board. Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: Owensville is a small, quiet community in the middle of Stonelick Township. The township has a solid master plan for growth along with the rest of the county/area. Owensville does not have a current master plan to keep pace with the projected growth of the surrounding areas, but could be a thriving area with proper planning and design. Owensville is lacking many amenities that would attract new residents.

UC Clermont expects to set enrollment record Community Press Staff Report
UC Clermont College is preparing for its largest fall enrollment ever. Enrollment reports indicate a 15-percent increase for fall classes beginning Sept. 23. The new academic year brings plans to expand off campus to accommodate the needs of the swelling campus and new programs. The boom didn’t happen overnight, the college has been growing steadily – since 2000 enrollment has increased 48 percent. Last academic year alone, the enrollment increase was in the doubledigits: Fall, 10 percent; spring, 12 percent and 18 percent for this summer – over the previous year. “The growth we’ve seen on campus is tremendous. More than ever – it means that we are vital resource for our community and partner in workforce development,” said Dean James F. McDonough. Currently, the college is seeking space in the nearby community to accommodate the expansion of the allied
health programs. In addition, UC Clermont College hopes to build the next 50,000-square-foot building in the next few years. The college recently announced the addition of the physical therapist assistant degree that will be offered on campus beginning this fall. This new and highly competitive program has sparked a huge interest from the community. “We’ve been consistently asked to offer this particular degree for years. Once the word started to leak out that we may be offering this degree, the interest list grew to over the 150 people,” said Sharman Wilmore, director of Allied Health at UC Clermont College. Originally offered on the UC Uptown Campus, the degree was officially transferred to the Clermont campus this spring as part of the restructuring within the university. The college is in the final stages of projecting a 10year master plan and it
can’t come a moment too soon with Clermont College currently experiencing the largest space shortfall of any regional campus in the state (square-foot per student ratio), according to Mary Beth McGrew, associate vice president of planning, design and construction at UC. “Planning for the future requires an analysis of the past, acknowledgment of the present and thoughtful plans for the future,” she said. UC Clermont is doing just that in their master planning work. Part of the plan implementation involves the leasing of space for the large number of students while plans for additions and a new building are being considered,” said McGrew. With a few weeks left to go, the Enrollment and Student services Department is still accepting applications for fall classes. For more information, call 513-732-5200 or visit the Web site at www.ucclermont.edu.

Eastgate Cancer Center is state-of-the-art choice By Kellie Geist
kgeist@communitypress.com
When someone with cancer is being treated with radiation, they typically visit the oncology office every day for one to nine weeks. That routine can get tiring pretty quick if you’re driving from Clermont County to downtown Cincinnati. But there’s a new, closer option. The Eastgate Cancer Center, located on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Boulevard, is equipped with advanced radiation oncology technology and can treat many types of cancer. Vantage Oncology bought the Eastgate Cancer Center three years ago. They held an open house Thursday, Sept. 10, to celebrate the center’s complete restructuring and new stateof-the-art technology. Vantage Oncology bought the center and
brought in a lot of new equipment. We have a new CT Scan to aid in 3-D and IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) which helps us plan a much better radiation treatment, said John Rizzo, the center manager. While the center is equipped to treat many types of cancer, one of things that makes it special is the new prostate brachytherapy (or seed implant) program. “This is another form of radiation that allows us to have accelerated delivery of the radiation from within,” said Rizzo. “It gives us a better treatment option ... It’s more precise.” Rizzo said most patients can just ask their doctors to refer them to the Eastgate Cancer Center for treatment if that’s where they would like to go. Unlike many specialists, the Eastgate Cancer Center does not have a waiting list.
The Eastgate Cancer Center is located in the surgery center building and across the street from the Bethesda Oncology Group. The location gives them close access to doctors who can assist with certain surgeries or administer medical oncology (like chemotherapy) if necessary. But the convenience and treatment aside, Pike said the Eastgate Cancer Center appeals to many patients because of the home-like feel. “Because we’re outpatient, it has more of a homey feel and our patients feel like a family. We get a lot of notes and presents from our patients. I think that family feeling is important for people who are going through something so hard,” Pike said. Patients or physicians who would like more information about the Eastgate Cancer Center can call 7528100.

Web site has foreclosure information 0000359492
The Clermont County Save Our Homes Task Force now has a Web site available for citizens needing foreclosure prevention information. The site, www.ClermontSaveOurHomes.org, has contact information for numerous services and agencies that can help homeowners develop strategies to remain in their home.
The site also includes links to video programs about various types of assistance available, including the Clermont Common Pleas Court Foreclosure Mediation Program that was launched last year. The Web site provides answers to frequently asked questions about foreclosure, including: What happens if you miss or get behind in
mortgage payments, what to do if you get a foreclosure notice, and what to do if you think you have been a victim of a refinancing scam or predatory lender.

The Art Affaire featured a wide variety of artists including painters, jewelers and potters. From left are: Barry Kahny, Adam Kahny and Toni Doty, all of Goshen, try to decide which pottery animal would look best in their home.
The Greater Milford Area Historical Society’s biggest annual fundraiser was more successful than ever this year. The Fourth Annual Art Affaire was Saturday, Sept. 12, in conjunction with the Sunflower Streetfest. “As best we can tell, we had between 600 and 700 people, up from about 400 people last year,” said Tracy Lanham, society member and Art Affaire coordinator. “It was a nice increase from previous years ... We think some of that is because the show is getting a little bit of a reputation and there were people who came for both the Art Affaire and the Sunflower Streetfest.” The increase in attendance also meant an increase in fundraising for the society. They raised a net of roughly $3,000 this year – up about 50 percent from 2008. Those funds are used to support the society’s scholarships and programs. “Everything went beau-

lovely,” said Anne Miller of Milford. “The merchandise, the music, the ambiance, it’s just wonderful.” Overall, Lanham is happy with this year’s fundraiser. “Hours and hours went into the set-up and preparation for the event and I just want to thank all the volunteers,” Lanham said. “Everything was wonderful.”

Openings still available in Great Oaks high school programs Great Oaks instructors are starting to prepare their labs for the fall, and are getting ready for the fall semester. Openings are still available in a number of programs at Great Oaks’ four campuses, including many of the programs which lead to in-demand, high-paying careers. For example, openings are available in construction programs at Diamond Oaks, Laurel Oaks, Live Oaks, and Scarlet Oaks. “The future of the construction industry is one of the brighter spots in the declining economy,” said
Jim Landon, project superintendent with Kokosing Construction. “The Ohio Department of Transportation has been allotted $774 million in stimulus money on top of its regular budget this year. This will retain or create over 21,000 jobs in Ohio.” Joe Travis, Union Carpenters Apprentice director, agreed. “A graduate from a Great Oaks program can start out making $14.31 per hour plus benefits,” he said. Students who will be juniors in the fall at one of Great Oaks’ 36 affiliated high schools can still apply. Openings are available in
many programs, including: auto collision, automotive Technology, Aviation technology, biotechnology/ forensics, commercial/residential electricity, computer service technician and networking, construction, digital television production, emarketing, equine science, HVAC, interactive media, masonry, plumbing, preengineering, robotics and sports rehabilitation therapy. Great Oaks students can earn at least 28 hours of college credit while still in high school. For more information, visit www.greatoaks.com.

School’s in, drive safely Do you know that there are more than 50 different buildings in Clermont County used for the education of our children? There are thousands of school children who are using the roadways to reach their school. Some of them walk, some of them ride buses, some of them drive and some of them ride with their parents and friends. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to drive safely as the summer comes to an end and the school year begins. All drivers usually encounter either a stopped school bus or drive through a school zone during a normal day. Lt. Randy McElfresh, post commander of the Batavia Patrol Post, wants to remind motorists to be extra careful when driving this time of year. Drivers need to pay attention for additional pedestrians walking along the roadways as the school year begins. Some schools are increasing the walking distances students will have to travel to the bus stop to save money. Many of these students may be as young as 5
years old. McElfresh reminds motorists there also will be increased traffic on area roadways, which are congested already. Motorists are encouraged to give themselves extra time to reach their destination once schools open. In Clermont County, the majority of the schools will be open by Aug. 24. McElfresh offers the following tips and facts about school bus/zone safety. The majority of school bus and school zone injuries occur outside the bus. So, the responsible motorist must take extra caution when approaching a school bus or school zone. • The speed limit in a school zone is 20 MPH during restricted hours. • If a school bus is stopped to pick up or drop off students, you must stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the bus. Do not resume driving until the bus has departed. The bus will not proceed until the students have safely arrived on their residence side of the road. • If a bus is stopped on a street or road, which has fewer than four lanes, all
traffic proceeding in either direction must stop. If a bus is stopped on a street or road, which has four or more lanes, only traffic proceeding in the same direction as the bus must stop. • If you fail to stop, the bus driver can report your license plate number and a description of you and your motor vehicle to the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in that area. The law enforcement agency will conduct an investigation to confirm the driver of the vehicle and can issue a traffic citation for the violation. • If you are issued a citation, you must appear in court, and you can be assessed a fine up to $500 and a maximum one-year license suspension. “Children, motorists and parents need to be aware of the possible dangers while traveling to, from and near a school,” McElfresh said. “Each driver must drive with caution and each student must follow the rules to ensure safety.” Troopers from the patrol will be visible throughout the year in all of the area school zones.
Foundation provides scholarship support to Great Oaks students A $10,000 grant from The Grainger Foundation will help the Great Oaks Educational Foundation support a skilled workforce in Cincinnati. This money will be used to support high school students as they complete their career goals through continuing education in such technical fields as robotics, veterinary assisting and interactive media.
The grant is based upon a recommendation from Grainger’s local branch manager Gary Brown. Each of the four Great Oaks campuses will select a student who has a clear career direction, demonstrated academic success and financial need to attend college. The contribution will also assist students who require financial resources to com-
plete their high school education. “The burgeoning partnership between Grainger and Great Oaks is the perfect example of business and education collaborating to improve the quality of our workforce trained to grow Ohio’s economy,” said Robin White, Great Oaks president and CEO.

Defense leads way for Milford, Goshen By Adam Turer
The Warriors have reeled off three straight wins to secure a winning 3-2 record at the midpoint of the season. The win over East Clinton was the Warriors’ best performance of the season. “It was a big win for us,” Inabnitt said. “We’re getting better every week.”
eastsports@communitypress.com
In the mud and muck Sept. 25, the area’s three football programs all played in defense-dominated contests. Milford pitched a shutout and Goshen gave up six points in a dominating win. Clermont Northeastern failed to put any points on the board and is still seeking its first win of the season.
CNE
Milford
Milford defeated Mt. Healthy 33-0 on the road in the final non-conference game of the season. The Eagles jumped out to a fast start for the second week in a row. After the defense stopped the Owls on their first drive, Milford’s offense wasted no time taking control of the game. The Eagles scored on their first three offensive possessions. “We’ve been asking our kids to play fast on defense and start fast on offense,” head coach Pat Fagan said. “They have done a good job of responding to our expectations each week.” Reggie Carson, Nate Termuhlen, Ben Hittner, and Frank Sullivan each scored for the Eagles. Termuhlen rushed 26 times for 161 yards and two scores. Trey Strunk made a crucial catch to convert a third down on the opening drive, allowing the Eagles to continue their drive toward the end zone. The defense shut out its opponent for the second straight week and third time of the season. The Eagles have allowed just 34 points through five games, four of them victories. The defensive performance has been a total team effort, said Fagan. “We don’t have any standout players,” Fagan said. “We have kids buying into our defense, playing hard and flying around.”

The Eagles begin Fort Ancient Valley Conference play Oct. 2 when they host Harrison. All five of the Eagles’ league opponents have winning records through the first five games of the season.
Goshen
The Warriors posted an impressive 45-6 road win over East Clinton. Goshen’s offense set the tone for the game early. Jamie Ashcraft rushed 40 yards on the first play from scrimmage, setting up Marcus Casey’s touchdown run two plays later. “We got off to the start we wanted,” head coach Nick Inabnitt said. “It was important for us to get a good drive early.” Ashcraft and Alex Owens split time at quarter-

The Warriors did not turn the ball over and committed only three penalties, both season lows. “That was the key to the game,” Inabnitt said. “We didn’t hurt ourselves.” The Warriors face another tough test Friday, Oct. 2,
against Western Brown. The Broncos have defeated the Warriors each of the last two seasons. “Our defense has played well all year,” Inabnitt said. “This week is going to be a big test for our defense.” Goshen will enter the Southern Buckeye Conference showdown with momentum.
The Rockets could not muster any offense against a tough New Richmond defense and adverse field conditions. New Richmond shut out and shut down the Rockets, 27-0. Clermont Northeastern’s defense held the undefeated Lions in check, trailing 20-0 after three quarters. “Our defense missed a lot of tackles the first couple weeks and didn’t miss nearly as many this week,” head coach Dave Brausch said. “We are a lot more sound on defense and we’ve gotten better each week.” The defense could only do so much. The Rockets offense was held to 28 total yards. NE’s offense relies on spreading out opposing defenses, throwing the ball and running a lot of zone and cutback plays. The muddy field and the Lions defense made it nearly impossible for the Rockets offense to find any rhythm. “It was a combination of their defense and the conditions,” Brausch said. “New Richmond is the best team in our league.” The Rockets can find some solace in the final score, which was much closer than last year’s blowout loss to the Lions. CNE has continued to improve each week, but is still looking for its first win of 2009. “We’re playing hard and staying in ballgames for all four quarters,” said Brausch. “We just need to get over that hump and get a win.” The Rockets host East Clinton on Friday, Oct. 2.
Eagles score big win over Turpin Milford boys’ soccer ranked No. 6 By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
A big win over a ranked foe confirmed head coach Brian Croston’s suspicions that his Milford Eagles boys’ soccer team is amongst Cincinnati’s toptier programs. Milford came away with a 2-0 road win over Turpin, ranked No. 8 in the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week four, when the teams met Sept. 21. Before besting the ranked Spartans, Division I foes in Cincinnati’s Top 10 saddled the No. 6 Eagles with a pair of close losses. “Last night was definitely a good victory for us,” Croston said of Turpin. “It was our first victory that was a challenge. “The only two close games we had (before Turpin) were losses,” Croston added. “They were bitter losses but winning last
night (over Turpin) helped assure us we are a very good team in Cincinnati.” The Eagles started its campaign at 0-1 with a loss to No. 2 Fairfield, 2-1, on Monday, Aug. 31. Fairfield was No. 1 in Cincinnati’s Division I poll at the time. Lakota West, ranked No. 4 in Division I, bested the Eagles, 2-1, when the teams met Saturday, Sept. 12. “We are a good team too and it was really frustrating,” Croston said of the losses. “We needed to go into a tough game and come away with a victory.” Against Fairfield, Milford led the game at halftime by a 1-0 margin but “fell apart” in the second half, Croston said. “We were up 1-0 on Fairfield and we deserved to be winning,” Croston said. “In the second half, we were horrendous. “Against Lakota West, we were by far the better team on the field but they were very opportunistic,”
Croston added. The Eagles improved to 4-2 with its win over Turpin. Milford senior Jeff Michael netted both goals for the Eagles during the 20 win over the Spartans. Michael leads the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division with 31 points including 14 goals and three assists. Loveland’s Chris Kuramoto ranks second in the FAVC Buckeye Division with 17 points including eight goals and one assist. “He’s contributed in almost every single game,” Croston said of Michael’s production. A number of defensive standouts have also emerged for Milford including senior keeper Bobby Thaxton and senior defenders Joey Hammond, Andy George and Max Ryan. Milford posted back-toback shutouts for the first time this season with consecutive wins over Turpin (2-0, Sept. 21) and Glen Este (10-0, Sept. 17).

Milford senior Connor Clark battles for the ball during a game earlier this season. “The defense is finally starting to assert itself,” Croston said. “In the tour-

Rowing team gets new coaches After a brief break from a busy summer of competition, the Clermont Crew returns to practice at East Fork State Park’s Harsha Lake with a fresh outlook and new guidance. “We had one coach move to Boston, and another decide to pursue other interests,” said the crew’s president, Mark Perzel, “It was time for a new direction, and I believe the Clermont Crew has a bright future with our new coaching staff.” After a month-long search and interviews with numerous candidates, the Clermont Crew board of directors chose a new head
coach and two assistants reports Perzel. The new Head Coach is Tony Geara. His assistant coaches are Alicia Henson and Bill Martin. “Each brings experience in all types of rowing, they have knowledge, organization, and a real passion for the sport. These traits and the enthusiasm of our new coaching staff, is really going to benefit our young athletes,” Perzel said. Geara has eight years direct involvement in the competitive sport of rowing, including participation, administration, and coaching. He medaled at the Mid-
west Masters Championship in Indianapolis in 2009, in 2007 represented the University of Cincinnati at the Henley Royal Regatta in England, and is a member of the Lebanese Rowing Federation. Geara was an officer for the UC Rowing club, has been a member of the board of the Cincinnati Rowing Club, and also coaches with the Great Miami Rowing Center in Hamilton. Bill Martin was one of the 10 original Clermont Crew oarsmen. He was the Clermont Crew’s first national champion, winning the Junior National Invitational and
the Scholastic National Championship in the Junior Mens 1x. Martin was also a competitive collegiate rower for Marietta College. He was the only freshman in the Varsity 8+ who won the S.I.R.R.A. Championship and came in third in the Dad Vail’s. Alicia Henson has been rowing since 1990, and was involved early on with the Clermont Crew, assisting then-coach Dawn Baurichter. She was regatta director for the Cincinnati Rowing Club in 2002 and 2003, and is currently a member of their board of directors. Geara will visit local

The Rockets who compete in the “always tough” GCL (Central Division) have wins over Indian Hill (19-0), Loveland (37-14), Chaminade Julienne (24-16); Kettering Alter (14-13). The lone McNick loss was to a fine Turpin team (27-21) in a well attended, exciting, early season contest in which the Rockets led until the final minutes of the game.

It is not about Republicans or Democrats On Saturday Sept. 12, I had the remarkable privilege of being a part of a historical march on Washington. I had spent the month before scraping together my dollars determined to get to D.C. The 12-hour bus ride with the Cincinnati Tea Party was quite an inspiration to me and my friend Beth Benoit of Amelia. I have always had a keen interest in our government because of my family having so many military ties. Like a great number of others in our country, Beth has been recently awakened to the importance of knowing what is happening behind the curtain of Oz. What we both experienced Saturday, Sept. 12, was life changing. We stood shoulder to shoulder with patriots from all across this nation. A melting pot of redblooded Americans, young and old, held their heads high and stormed the nation’s capital. These were not seasoned protesters. Many have never even considered participating in a such an event as this. Unlike many of those who came before them, who often were seen shouting profanities, turning over garbage cans or heckling the police officers. These demonstrators marched with a
passion I have never seen before. I witnessed a spirit of patriotism, determination and a laser focus on changing the direction of our U.S. government. were Mia Supe They demanding to be Community heard. Press guest I saw people columnist opening crowded pathways for seniors to get by in their wheelchairs. Young parents pushed their strollers and carried their little ones hoping they too might be a part of history. A mother sat with her severely handicapped child stretched across her lap as thousands stood around her. Folks shook the hands of policemen as they marched by thanking them for their service. Personally, I did not hear a single swear word the entire day. Citizens thanked each other for coming out and encouraged the movement to go on. I even saw garbage being picked up as people left the event. It was an attitude of consideration, respect and unity for one another throughout the day.

Mia Supe participated with the Cincinnati Tea Party organization as they marched on Washington Sept. 12 with other from across the country. It wasn’t about Republicans or Democrats, Left or Right. It was about hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, possibly a million, coming together to share what they learned as they diligently peeled back the underbelly of their government; not simply depending on the mainstream media, but digging through the Internet, cable television and other media venues to search for the truth. These people were
CH@TROOM Sept. 23 questions
What new or returning fall TV show are you most looking forward to watching? Why? “‘Mad Men.’ Currently it’s the best scripted show on TV. The rest is trash or empty-headed fluff!” Duke “‘24.’ This is the only TV show that gets my adrenaline flowing.” G.G. “‘24.’ I think it’s a great show!” K.P. “There is very little on TV that is worth my time. There is so much violence in real life I don’t want more in my home. However, I do enjoy ‘Law & Order’ and reality shows such as ‘Survivor,’ ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ‘America’s Got Talent.’ If they would bring back to TV shows and programs with more comedy, substance and less violence I’d be glued to the TV. Fortunately, there are no children at home any more because all the TVs would have locks on them.” N.C. “None, as TV is simply a delivery system for corporate brainwashing. I’d prefer to at least attempt to think for myself occasionally, though it’s hard with a mouth full of flouride and a gut full of aspartame.” N.A.B. “It may seem to be off topic when I answer the question, ‘What new or returning fall TV show are you most looking forward to watching?’ My answer is ‘none,’ and there are no negative feelings behind that response. “Quite simply, I realize as I age that things which held my interest when I was younger no longer have any appeal for me, and most of the programming on evening TV falls into that category. I used to love watching ‘Seinfeld,’ for instance, and still occasionally enjoy a rerun. And many years
informed. The folks want to know who is running their government and where all the money is going. No longer are so many American’s burying their heads in the sand. This was a day for us to make our Founding Fathers proud. The Constitution is the thread that has kept this great country united and strong since it’s beginning. As we marched down Pennsylvania Avenue we read lines from this magnificent document etched in
the sides of the massive buildings. It was at that moment I truly found reassurance in our efforts. A peaceful revolution was rising up. We are all Americans who need to be informed voters. Please take the time to learn about issues and about our leaders no matter what your political party. Mia Supe lives Holman Road on in Williamsburg.

I wonder if other older people feel the same way?” B.B. “Can’t wait to have our favorite show, ‘Criminal Minds,’ back on the air. As for the new lineup, we’re hoping ‘Flash Forward’ is as good as the ads promise. And, of course, if it’s January it has to be ‘24’!” M.M. “We’re looking forward to ‘Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives’ on the Food Network. Seeing new or unusual dishes, recipe variations or cultural specialties from all over the nation is very interesting.” R.V. “I stumbled upon the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ on Bravo. “I wonder if they made a ‘Real Housewives of Anderson Township’ version if they could locate 5 cast members as diverse and bizarre as these ladies. You might find one or two at Kroger's or the Mercy Healthplex, but not five.” J.J. “None! I think TV programming is really at a low point. Except for the occasional PBS special and a few minutes of the local news in the morning, I don't find anything else worth watching. I use my TV mostly to play DVDs, and read a lot.” J.B.
Friends, family
You don’t have to be a band director to know when a musician hits a wrong note. The lack of harmony is blatantly obvious. If he does it long enough shouldn’t that musician be kicked out of the band? I read with interest the article from last week “Goshen Twp. trustees split on park board” because the lack of harmony was blatantly obvious. Someone is out of tune here. The question is which one? Jack Kuntz indicates he voted no to appoint Lisa Seyfried as park commissioner because “this is a situation where friends of someone’s family are being appointed …” So according to Jack this is a “friends and family” situation with these appointments. Let’s see if any of this rings true. I have learned that Lisa Seyfried is a next door neighbor to Tom Risk. Lisa’s husband Bob and Tom are both on the zoning board having been appointed by Corcoran/Keeley. Tom is running for trustee to replace Mike Keeley’s spot on the Corcoran/Keeley team. And Brian Fick lives about 6-8 doors from Mike. Do ya think this friends and family concept has a ring of truth to it?

Fire chief confusion
I would like to confirm the record related to the Goshen Township Trustees’ search for a new fire chief. In our board meeting of Sept. 16, 2009, we adjourned into executive session in accordance with the law to interview candidates for the position and to discuss those candidates. After returning to open session, no action was formally taken. It would appear that Vice Chairman T.J. Corcoran, in issuing a quote in a press release dated Sept. 21, 2009, has perhaps
VOICES FROM THE WEB What’s best for Goshen
Visitors to Cincinnati.com/goshentownship posted these comments to a column by Goshen Township Trustee candidate T.J. Corcoran, in which he said he would not accept an endorsement from Trustee Jack Kuntz: “It seems to most of us citizens of Goshen, if the majority of taxpayers, candidates, retired citizens, business owners, etc ... etc ... are against your views, you might want to consider resigning or at least not wasting our and your time campaining ... just a thought.” MacBoy “I think the people of Goshen are smarter than Macboy thinks. None of Jack’s actions are original or even his own
from what he has done so far. As a matter of fact all he has done is agree to everything the good old boys have wanted. Goshen does not need a yes man for the good old boys. That is what held back Goshen and T.J. has broken thier hold and advanced Goshen along way in a short time. He has saved us money by improving the way the fire department handles over time. No new tax will be passed in this economy and none of the candidates have stated their plans to improve Goshen.” kendot1 “I believe there should be checks and balances in all aspects of government. I don’t believe we have that with what we have now, however whoever gets in it needs to be in the best interest for our

improperly disclosed confidential information that was discussed in executive session prior to any formal public action. Based on my recollection of the meeting and after review of the draft minutes, it would appear that any announced appointment to the position of fire chief was done in violation of Ohio’s Open Meeting Act. In our regularly scheduled trustee meeting on Sept. 29, 2009, I hope to cast my vote to appoint our new fire chief in open session as the law specifies it to be done. I hope this addresses the concerns of the citizens of Goshen related to this situation. Jack Kuntz Goshen Township Trustee Cozaddale Road Goshen

Love trumps death
Young hearts find precious lessons in grief By Patricia Mahaffey Contributor
It’s fall now. The wheels of life are turning again – leaves changing, school back in motion, crispness permeating each morning. Matthew Scott Smith of Miami Township, who would have turned 21 today, will not be moving on with us. He died this summer, two months before this momentous birthday, after falling backwards off the second-floor porch railing of a house he’d rented in Athens, Ohio, for his junior year at Ohio University. Matthew was a pre-med student on full academic scholarship who often told friends, “I want to do something of value in life.” Many close friends were there when he fell, mostly 2007 Milford High School graduates, but also graduates of Loveland, St. Xavier and Mt. Notre Dame high schools, all of whom had come to visit. Sean Mahaffey, a housemate and close friend since childhood, rushed to his friend’s side, holding a cloth to Matt’s head to stem the bleeding. The other kids stood nearby in stunned silence, waiting anxiously for an ambulance, praying. A dozen of them ran 30 minutes to the hospital, where a doctor soon told them the unthinkable: “Your friend didn’t make it.” Several hours later, in the gray light of 4 a.m., they were still standing

Matthew Smith, who would have turned 21 years old today. outside the emergency room entrance, their faces ashen with shock and shattered innocence, their eyes a thousand miles deep with a loss too big to swallow. They didn’t know what to do, but somehow they instinctually didn’t want Matt’s parents, Nelson and Sue, and 22-year-old sister, Amy, to arrive alone to the grim emptiness of an emergency room parking lot and the stark, impersonal face of the hospital where death had taken their only son and brother. So, bravely, they waited, giving all they could when the Smiths arrived; a humble vigil of love, the exchange of looks that said what words could not. The Smiths, of course, have been left devastated – their hearts broken, their pain indescribable. But, that’s not all they’re left with. Starting with the sponta-
On Sept. 2, those of Matt’s friends who hadn’t yet returned to college gathered to surprise the Smiths with a memorial stone at Miami Meadows Park. Kneeling (from left): Amy, Sue, and Nelson Smith Standing: Grace Mahaffey, Natalie Enders, Erica Florimonte, Erin McAleenan, Bridget Clark, Stephen Morath, Aaron Burton, Glen McAleenan, Marie Gertz, Anthony Conway, George Emmons and Sean Mahaffey.

Friends at the door

Matt Smith (front row, far right) is shown here immediately following the Milford High School graduation in 2007. Smith, much loved for a playful, easygoing sense of humor, graduated with high honors. Kneeling beside him, from left, are Megan Gertz and Jordan Moutrey. Back row: Cassie Mock, Kristen Martin, Danny Hornung, Anthony Conway, Glen McAleenan on Sean Mahaffey’s shoulders, Kyle Boys, Katie Porter and Allyson Kirk.
Within hours of Matt’s death, Glen McAleenan created a Facebook tribute page where friends and family could post consoling thoughts, prayers and photos. Two days later, hearing it helped Nelson to hear about memories of Matt, dozens of kids streamed into the Smiths’ home bringing flowers. They gathered around boxes of photos, and for hours the much needed medicine of laughter rang out as they recounted tales of Matt’s irrepressible humor, escapades and love of life. At the funeral, when
people were invited to share, it was the kids who stood up, 15 of them. Choked with emotion, they just wanted to say how much they loved Matt, his big heart, irresistible grin, goofy humor, contagious positive attitude, intelligence, talents. With poignant wisdom, they tenderly spoke of how Matt’s life and death would profoundly affect their lives. The next day, they held a candlelight memorial at Milford High School’s stadium. Some of the girls gave Sue and Amy necklaces inscribed with Matt’s initials. With the sun setting, everyone lit candles and settled in to listen to many loving and hilarious stories about Matt. As it grew darker, the candles, along with everyone’s hearts, glowed brighter and warmer.
Book of memories

On the one-week anniversary of Matt’s death, his friends once again flooded the Smiths’ home, this time bringing a 4-inch thick memory book that Cassie Mock and Marie Gerber had organized. It was stuffed with photos and written expressions of love from dozens of friends. As the Smiths looked through it, George Emmons, who’d often played guitar with Matt, slipped spontaneously into a beautiful song he and Margo Curran had written to honor Matt.
Janet Murray, Matt’s aunt, commented to the kids how hard it is even for adults to know what to do at times of tragedy, yet, “you all have just instinctually known, and done it. You’re an inspiration. You make me hopeful about the future.” Aaron Burton, with the help of many others, spearheaded fundraisers to create a memorial at Miami Meadows Park, a significant place for Nelson as a soccer ref coordinator, and coach of “Shockwave,” Matt’s soccer team, for nine years.
A place at the park
On Sept. 2, kids who hadn’t yet returned to college surprised the Smiths with the memorial, along with dinner at Applebee’s, where another surprise, a pictorial plaque, hung on the wall. Stephen Morath, a Shockwave teammate, helped organize a sale of special Shockwave jerseys with small angel wings on the front, Matt’s name and number on the back. Nelson, Sue and Amy were each given one. Seeing how much their son is loved and how much he touched others has lifted the Smiths’ hearts enormously, and they’ve showered Matt’s friends with gratitude. In fact, the Smiths’ thoughtfulness and loving
kindness towards others during these darkest hours are a testament to how Matt’s generous spirit came to be so very bright. From the night of Matt’s death, Sue expressed deep concern for Matt’s friends, for their pain and loss of innocence. And yes, some innocence is lost. But in its place, the kids have attained wisdom and strength it often takes a lifetime to acquire, expressing it not only in words, but in exceedingly powerful actions. Their hearts are forever inscribed with the countless ways Matt’s life and death inspired and changed them. Certainly they would trade this wealth back to have Matt here again, but since that isn’t an option, they’re left with their selfspoken commitment to live out what they’ve learned – the price for these lessons is far too dear not to. Their love and wisdom will affect others, and ripples from Matt’s bright goodness will continue on and on. Happy 21st birthday Matthew Scott Smith. Though you were here way too briefly, you more than fulfilled your beautiful wish to contribute something of value to life. Your friends have testified to that. Freelance writer Patricia Mahaffey is the mother of Sean, Matthew’s friend, and a close family friend of the Smiths.

To create the memorial at Miami Meadows Park, Matt Smith’s friends raised funds, designed a memorial, chose a spot, secured permission from the township, put it in place, and planted perennials around it.

What if I become angry with God? Honest people admit there are times they’re angry at God. Pious people pretend their faith is so strong that they’re never angry. A wise old lady said, “It’s better to be honest than pious.” If we’re human and honest there are times we do become angry and blame God for a lot of things (whether God’s responsible or not): he’s too silent; unresponsive to our needs; and unrelenting when our sufferings persist. We beg for a problem to be removed and it just gets worse. We pray for a dying child and the child dies. Years ago a mother’s 10-yearold son was killed in a freak accident. She stopped going to church and said she couldn’t believe in a God who would allow such tragedies to happen. Her anger is understandable. Yet, which of us can explain to
her or ourselves the mysteries of life? We might wonder – does the tragedy really demolish her belief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief she feels he caused her? What if she could rage and wrestle with God? God can take it. Might an honest human interchange with God possibly introduce her to a greater and loving God who suffers with her? When such existential crises occur some people lose their faith while very many eventually find their faith strengthened. God’s amazing grace is a powerful thing. Can we express our anger with God, and of all things, it still be considered prayer? Certainly! The Bible abounds with examples. The
prophets rebuked God at times for their hardships. Many of the Old Testament Psalms are known as “Lament Psalms,” prayers of complaint. God was real to them and they felt free enough to express their frustration. Certain psalms present us with words and feelings we might ordinarily hesitate using. “Lord, why do you cast me off and hide your face from me?” (Psalm 88) Others express our reliance on the care of God and complain when it seems missing, “God you are my rock, so why have you forgotten me?” (Psalm 42) Job’s wife was so angry she told Job to “Curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9) Where else can we be totally human if not before the One who made us? We can sing out our praise and gratitude to God. At
other times we can pray our frustrations and anger. We can also shout out our feelings of forsakenness and empty them out, send them echoing through the universe. Then, as we so often do in our human-to-human relationships, we see things differently and recant until the next time. Being open to God lets God be open with us. We can be true to him and to ourselves. We appreciate anyone who accepts our feelings of anger and doubt and accepts them, especially God. We begin to trust such a one with the rest of ourselves. Our honest struggles with God can permit us to make great advances in our faith. We begin to understand life with insights we never had before. Some of us cling too long to our
anger with God or another perFather Lou son. To feel hurt Guntzelman and plan vengeance is Perspectives tasty to the undeveloped soul. It enables us to feel perpetually wronged, entitled to self-indulgence, and serve as an excuse for our lack of compassion toward others. We cynically print on our personal coat-of-arms, “Poor Me, Mean God.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

No purchase necessary for sweepstakes entry A local woman says she was shocked to learn her 87-year-old mother has been spending thousands of dollars on items in the mistaken belief the more she ordered the better chance she would have of winning a million dollar sweepstakes. Unfortunately, this type of thing has happened many times with senior citizens. Angie Pauly of Madeira said she discovered her mother wrote as many as five checks in one day, for a nearly two years, as she ordered merchandise from Publisher’s Clearing House.
Howard Ain Hey Howard!
“I had o n e checkbook and I added up, just since July, what she had spent, and it was like $700,” P a u l y
said. After locating another checkbook, Pauly found more checks had been written so the total since July came to more than $1,200. “She paid $21.95 for ‘socket sensors,’ and I don’t
know what you do with them – there are no directions. It’s just worthless stuff. She hasn’t even opened this box,” she said. “She gets this stuff and just sets it aside because she thinks its going to help her win, I think,” Pauly said. In many cases the items received do have some value. She paid nearly $38 for four silver dimes, but when Pauly took them to a coin dealer she learned they were worth only $4. She has gone through many of the items, putting them in boxes and trying to see which ones she can

return to try to get back some money. Pauly said she called Publisher’s Clearing House. “When I called, a supervisor was to call me back. That never happened. They were supposed to send me a list of things she could return. I’ve never gotten the list,” she said. So I called Publisher’s Clearing House and learned the firm is aware some senior citizens are spending thousands of dollars each year because they believe it increases their chances of winning the sweepstakes. As a result, a company
spokesman said the company set up a consumer aid program to try to weed out big spending seniors who are confused about this. He said 75 percent of those who respond to the company’s mailings return their entries without buying anything. The mailings include statements that you don’t have to buy anything to win but, he said, some seniors still don’t understand. After I explained the problem with Angie Pauly’s mother, the spokesman told me Publisher’s Clearing House will send her postage-paid labels to help
her return the items so she can get back the money. As proof you don’t have to buy anything to win, the spokesman said most of those who have won the major sweepstakes prizes at Publisher’s Clearing House over the years did not order anything with their winning entry.

How is it that I can easily make, from scratch, a pastry-shop quality, multilayer Viennese torte with a delicate cooked pastry cream filling, yet have trouble sometimes with b o x e d cakes? I learned Rita why last Heikenfeld night at cake decoRita’s kitchen r a t i n g class. I forgot to follow the advice my teacher, Martha Buckler, gave: Don’t mix on too high a speed since that causes air bubbles. Instead, smack the cakes down on the counter to remove air bubbles before baking (my mom always did that), and bake at 325 degrees and not 350 degrees. You’ll have to bake a bit longer. Also if you’re using 9-inch round cake pans use two boxes of cake mix to fill them up nicely.

Mary Lee Olinger with corn salad. In large saucepan filled with salted boiling water, cook corn for seven minutes. Take corn out and submerge in cold water. In same pan cook asparagus or green beans until crisp tender. Take vegetables out and submerge in cold water. Cut kernels off corn, and cut up asparagus or green beans into 2-inch pieces. Put corn and vegetables in large bowl, add tomatoes and basil. Combine red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, and pinch of salt in small bowl.
I found this recipe tucked into the gargantuan stack of recipes that I wanted to try. It turned out really good, but next time I think I’ll use a couple pouches of onion soup mix and double the water and flour since we could have used more gravy. The best part is it was so easy.

Community IN THE SERVICE McIntyre in Navy
Navy Seaman Recruit Ellen J. McIntyre, daughter of Lori A. Jump of Milford, and Donald R. McIntyre of Cincinnati, completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. McIntyre is a 2008 graduate of Milford High School. During the eight-week program, McIntyre completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy
skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.
Shouse joins MArines
Kyle A. Shouse, a 2009 graduate from Goshen, joined the Marine Corps through the Delayed Entry Program and will attend recruit training this winter at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C.

Upon completion of recruit training, he will return home for 10 days leave. From there he will attend the School of Infantry, at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejuene, N.C., and follow-on training in one of 300 occupational specialties of his choosing. Kyle is the son of Garry and Julie of Goshen Township.

National award recipients represent a “Who’s Who” of outstanding Americans, such as Barbara Bush, Rosalynn Carter, Colin Powell, Bob Hope and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. It’s not just the local
community that benefits from Higgins’ tireless generosity. She also collects medical supplies for hospitals in Crimea and recently traveled to Kenya to teach nursing students, medical students and nurses about women’s health and the importance of hand washing. Julia Abell, senior director, Human Resources, Cincinnati Children’s, who nominated Higgins, said, “Flo uses her vacation time to go on these missions. I’ve asked her why she doesn’t just lie on a beach in Florida like most of us, and she told me, ‘I just can’t do that.’
She sees a need, and she steps up and does whatever she can to help. She inspires me. I suspect she inspires a lot of other people, too.” Higgins accepted her Jefferson Award, paying tribute to her mother and father, Josephine and Joseph Grossi, who instilled the volunteer ethic in her. “To them, helping others was a natural part of life,” she explained. Yet she was surprised to win the Jefferson Award. “There are so many people here who extend themselves in service to others and who are so deserving,” she said. “I am very proud to be honored.”

The most hours volunteered in 2008 were Oscar (Ozzie) Morrison with 1,098 hours and Harris Wright with 1,101 hours. Hitting a volunteer milestone was Charles Bailey with 6,000 hours volunteered and Karen Klysz with 5,000. “The excellence in patient care and the service that is provided by Mercy Hospital Clermont would not be possible without the
help of our many volunteers. We are grateful for their untiring service,” said Gayle Heintzelman, Mercy Hospital Clermont president/CEO. Three $1,000 scholarships were awarded to students through the Mercy Hospital Clermont’s Health Careers Scholarship Program. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance for outstanding senior students accepted into an educational program in the healthcare field including medicine, nursing, radiological technology, medical technology, physical therapy, pharmacy or other related field. They also must have maintained a 3.0 average, demonstrated participation in school/community activities and reside in Clermont County. The winners were Terra Michelle Williamson from
area businesses as recipients of the 2009 Investing In People Awards.

life the dramatic scenes of popular western dramas based on the 1870s Dodge City. The permanent old west town will be educational and fun for the entire family. Store fronts will include antique, Western-themed and hand-made crafts. Cold beer, sarsaparilla and other refreshments will be served in the Long Branch Saloon. Kids will enjoy panning for gold, traveling the frontier in covered wagons, on ponies or horses, riding the 19th-century steam locomotive inspired Sante Fe Deadline, participating in sing-a-longs, watching puppet shows, visiting the pioneer village, and learning about being a cowhand. Historically accurate shows will include medicine, saloon, magic, storytelling and Can Can dancers. And county, bluegrass and period musicians will be on stage throughout the day. Of course, one of the most popular attractions from last year will be returning – the authentic jaw dropping gun fight reenactments four times daily by the Big Irons Rangers, the Middletown-based Single Action Shooting Society group. Festival times and hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 11. The festival is at 1449 GreenbushCobb Road between Mount Orab and Williamsburg, just off Ohio 32. For details, visit www.oldwestfestival.com or call 866-WEST-FES (866-937-8337). Old West Festival is also on Twitter and Facebook. The cost is $10 general admission; $6 for children ages 6 to 12; and children under 5 are free. Parking is free.

Schoolchildren and festival-goers know Russ and Barb Childers as much for their old-timey music as Bear Foot, as they do for the Childers’ bluegrass harmonies in the Rabbit Hash String Band. Families visiting the Old West Festival east of Cincinnati will be able to see the Childers perform as both. Bear Foot will be on stage Oct. 4. Russ and Barb Childers have been singing and playing music together as Bear Foot since 1983, when they appeared together in an off-Broadway production called “Close Harmonies” celebrating Appalachian poetry, music, and dance. They arrived at the musical present by different paths – Russ through years of playing music with various groups such as Company Comin’ and the Cincinnati Dancing Pigs – and Barb through dance. She was a founding member of an Appalachian clogdance trio called The Dancin’ Fools and editor of a clog dance newsletter called The Footnoter. Together they have conducted children’s workshops in games, dance, and song; have participated in school programs on Appalachian music and dance; have taken part in storytelling programs, and have taught clogdancing workshops. Russ’s ancestors settled in the Appalachian Mountains in the early 1800s, while Barb’s family stayed in New England and later the Ohio Valley. However, one of her Scots relatives strayed into eastern Kentucky, and that’s where she figures the love of mountain music comes from. Both of the Childers spent their childhoods listening to their parents tell stories ... and

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.
