Morgan Court residents in Park Hills will get to keep their leafy canopy. A reconstruction project on the street was delayed earlier this year to allow for re-engineering, which has made the street smaller than originally planned to preserve as many of the 50-plus-year-old trees as possible. Work began on the street, which will be 18-feet wide instead of 22-feet wide, last week and should be completed before Thanksgiving. The city offered to take down any dead trees or trees that could possibly be damaged by the project for free. Residents were OK with the idea until June when the 15 or so trees were marked with a red “X.” Residents thought the street would have a “barren” look, said Mayor Michael Hellmann. “A lot of times people don’t see what’s going to be the final product until it’s staring them in the face,” he said. “We were offering that ‘If you want, we will take it down while we’re doing the project.’ It was not a problem to come back and change the number of trees to cut down.”
Students rewarded
River Ridge has gone green, yellow, red and blue. Those are the colors for its program that rewards students for good behavior. Many students find it a thrill in getting the green light for prizes and recognition once a month at the school. SCHOOLS, A7

Work on Morgan Court in Park Hills began this week. The project had to be re-engineered when residents were concerned about the number of trees to be cut down. In the end, the city took down only about nine trees, Hellmann said. The city spent a little over $3,000 more than originally estimated to re-engineer the project and save the maority of trees, Hellmann said. “We’re rebuilding the street. It’s the right thing to do. Let’s get it done,” he said.
In addition to making the street smaller and preserving trees, the city will also replace a tree if it dies within three years after the project. The city’s first offer was to replace any trees removed at no cost to residents, but not trees that were kept and then died as a result of the project due to root damage. “I think they tried their best to
come up with a good plan for the street,” said 20-year Morgan Court resident Bob Bornschein, who added he was “very pleased” with the resolution the city and residents came to. “I think trees are a major attractive feature of Park Hills. It’s very much a park-like setting,” Bornschein said.
Along the way
Amidst tragedy, author learns to appreciate each moment By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
For 28 months after being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, Villa Hills resident Carolyn McGoy endured various treatments, tests and doctors’ appointments, all while riding an emotional roller coaster. And her husband, Tom, was there by her side through every step. “That time is something that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world, because it was just her and I together,” he said. “It helped me to understand that every day is a blessing.” Tom has documented the story in his new book, entitled “Our Great Journey: A Love Story,” which was released on Sept. 28. The book chronicles the McGoy’s lives, starting with the September 2006 day when Carolyn was diagnosed. And while it does contain details about Carolyn’s condition and the ongoing treatment process, Tom also talks about the happy moments, including a long weekend in Maine where they ate their fair share of “Big Red Bugs” (Maine lobsters). He also recalled a special day in 2008 when Carolyn surprised him by insisting they maintain their tradition and attend the Great
PROVIDED.
Tom and Carolyn McGoy enjoy some Maine lobsters during a 2008 trip. They were married 48 years before Carolyn passed away earlier this year. Inland Seafood Festival in Newport, despite her weakened condition. “That day was one of the best days of my life, without question,” he said, pausing to collect his emotions. “She was so strong and so positive throughout this, and that’s what inspired me to start writing everything down.” McGoy said he began organizing his thoughts after Carolyn, 68, passed away on Jan. 28 of this year, originally thinking he would have only a few pages to share with family members and close friends. The McGoys were married just over 48 years, and have two
children and six grandchildren. However, once he began recalling their lives over the previous 28 months, the words began to fill page after page after page. He soon had a manuscript, which he distributed to friends and family, who encouraged him to have it published. After several editing sessions, McGoy would send his manuscript to Book Locker, which became his publisher. “I think it really was helpful for me to do this, because I was able to share both the good and bad parts of our journey through this,” he said. “It was very emotional to
write and I still can’t read certain passages without tearing up, but I definitely feel like the book was a good idea.” Peggy Brooks, a registered nurse with Cincinnati HematologyOncology Inc. who got to know the McGoys during Carolyn’s treatments, said the book is a testimony to the McGoys’ relationship. “They were the ultimate team, and they were so caring and loving to each other,” she said. “I think this book is not only wonderful tribute to Carolyn, who was an amazing person, but it’s also a great window in showing how spouses deal with these issues, because that’s a perspective we don’t always see.” McGoy, who is planning to market the book nationally, said that all proceeds from the book will go towards the cancer community. The book is available online at www.booklocker.com and www. amazon.com. for $11.95, and he hopes to make it available at local retailers as well. “The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you have to keep pushing forward no matter what life throws at you,” he said. “Just enjoy every moment, and make the most of each day. That’s what Carolyn and I did, and I hope this inspires everyone to do the same.”

Hoffer honored by Chamber for service to community By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Bob Hoffer tries his best to live by the advice his grandfather gave him many years ago. “He used to always tell all of us that some people are givers and some people are takers, and we should always try to be the first,� he said. “I guess that’s why I try to get involved with so many things it’s how I was raised.� Hoffer, a Fort Mitchell resident, was recently honored by the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce at the organization’s annual awards dinner by being named one of Leadership Northern Kentucky’s Leaders of Distinction.
An attorney at Dressman, Benzinger & LaVelle, Hoffer becomes one of only 16 Leaders of Distinction in the 30-year history of Leadership Northern Kentucky, a program through the Chamber that fosters leadership and community service. “We’ve probably had close to 1,000 people come through the Leadership program, and only 16 have ever been recognized as Leaders of Distinction, so it’s a tremendous honor,� said Ruth Eger, executive director of the Leadership Foundation. “But Bob is certainly deserving of it because he does so much in the community, and he’s really a neat guy.� Hoffer, who was raised in Lakeside Park, donates his time
“Even if I can just make a small difference in these kids’ lives, it’s worth every bit of the effort.� Bob Hoffer and efforts to a number of local organizations, including Blessed Sacrament Church, Crossroads Hospice and Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home. It was at the DCCH where Hoffer and his Leadership class helped raise more than $60,000 for their class project to help build a covered play area for the resi-
dents. He also helped to start the annual Swing Into Spring fundraiser at the home, which has raised over $100,000 in three years. Hoffer said he has a soft spot for the kids at the DCCH, many of whom have led turbulent lives. “I’ve been very blessed throughout my life to have a wonderful family, and I want to be able to give that feeling to someone else,� he explained. “Even if I can just make a small difference in these kids’ lives, it’s worth every bit of the effort.� Sister Jean Marie Hoffmann, the executive director of the DCCH, said Hoffer’s various efforts over the years have been instrumental to the mission of the home.
“He’s such a positive role model for the children, and he’s really someone who leads by example,� she said. “He’s dedicated to helping people around him, and he’s just a great all-around guy.� While honored by being named a Leader of Distinction, Hoffer said he’s never been concerned about individual recognition. “I’m certainly humbled to have received this, but there are lots of people who give their time to make this community better, so it’s not about me,� he said. “I just enjoy getting involved and doing what I can to give something back.� For more information about Leadership Northern Kentucky, visit www.nkychamber.com.
St. E 20th street campus will be nursing home By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Villa Hills resident Jack Ward (left) brought his grandfather’s Ball Railroad Watch to be appraised at the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum’s Antique Appraisal Fair Saturday Oct. 3. John Swinford of Swinford Jewelers in Erlanger appraised Ward’s watch at between $550-$600.
The St. Elizabeth Healthcare 20th Street Covington campus will be transformed into an 82-bed nursing home by early 2010. Prior to the sale the St. Elizabeth location had also operated as a nursing home, but the hospital only had 19 long-term care beds available. A group of investors plan to develop the as-yetunnamed campus to house multiple services for the community, including the nursing home, a cafeteria, professional offices, a beauty salon and more, said principal investor George Hagan. “The general lobby and cafeteria will be renovated to not only accommodate a lot more people, but also to accommodate the commu-
nity,� Hagan said. “We want the community to feel welcome and to come in and use the cafeHoffer. teria and conference rooms.� Hagan’s group of investors will put close to $1 million into renovating portions of the campus. In addition to the nursing home, the 20th Street campus will still house the Diocese of Covington and the St. Elizabeth finance division. The St. Elizabeth emergency department, wound care center, dialysis, women’s services and outpatient services have been moved to the new St. Elizabeth Covington Ambulatory Center at 1500 James Simpson Jr. Way off of 12th Street.
Hagan, who has over 19 years of experience as a nursing home administrator, hopes the nursing home’s community outreach will help revitalize that part of Covington. “The hospital is historically significant to Covington. Most folks over the age of 40 were born there or had some interaction with that building,� he said. “We think it’s a great opportunity to take historic buildings like that and revitalize that
urban core.� St. Elizabeth Healthcare president and CEO Joseph Gross said the 20th Street campus has been an “integral� part of Covington ever since it emerged “from an orphanage and nursing school to a comprehensive acute care facility to the present.� “We are pleased to see the campus continue serving the community through this endeavor,� Gross said.

and booths where children could get their faces painted, pet animals, pick up a tutu or fairy wings and more. A foot parade of fairies, dancers, musicians and other fey folk took place later in the afternoon around the Sixth Street islands and down Main
Street. That night an auction was held at the Leapin Lizard Gallery to benefit the Covington Baker-Hunt Art & Cultural Center’s scholarship programs. Children in Baker-Hunt’s art classes created fairy “windows” that were auctioned off at the gallery.

Westwood gives schools look at state government By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Sen. Jack Westwood took the “mystery� out of his job for his smaller constituents Wednesday Sept. 30. “Anybody can go into politics and some of these kids might want to do it themselves one day,� Westwood said. Westwood visited Fort Wright Elementary as part of the America’s Legislators Back to School program, which gives elected officials the opportunity to meet personally with students to answer questions, share ideas and explain the legislative process.
The program is sponsored all over the United States by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Westwood got a chance to chat with a fifth grade and first grade class at Fort Wright Elementary before stopping in to say hello to grandparents visiting that day. Students asked if he had always wanted to be a politician, what was his favorite bill he helped pass and who is his favorite president and why. The answer? Abraham Lincoln because of his “determination� to get elected. “I just know these kids
are our hope and future,� he said. “I was impressed with the questions they asked about what we do in the legislature.� Fort Wright Principal Barb Juengling said she was proud of her students’ “thoughtful� questions. “I think it’s important to plant the seed early for children. It lets them know they do have a voice in government,� she said. Getting to see their elected officials in person is beneficial to students who study government, Juengling said. “They get to see they’re real people. Legislators say to them, ‘You could be me.’�

Sisters of Notre Dame to start education center By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The Sisters of Notre Dame hope to give Covington’s students a muchneeded boost. In January 2010 the sisters will open an Urban Education Center in Coving-
ton’s historic Licking River District at 14 E. Eighth Street. The Sisters of Notre Dame will provide tutoring, cultural enrichment, computer skills and reinforce learning with community projects after school for Covington Independent
Urban Education Center fundraiser A Fabulous-Furs Fundraising Event for The Notre Dame Urban Education Center will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday Oct. 15 at Donna Sayler’s Fabulous-Furs Showroom, 20 W. 11th Street in Covington. Tickets are $25 and includes a 20 percent discount on any
purchase made that evening, a special gift from Donna Sayler’s Fabulous-Furs and complimentary cocktails and appetizers. All proceeds from ticket sales go to the Notre Dame Urban Education Center. For information or to buy tickets, call 392-8228.
Public Schools children. “We are trying to do something positive for those kids,” said Barbara Cruze, the director of mission advancement for the province. “The Sisters of Notre Dame have been a part of this community since the 1800s when they first came here. They started out teaching with Mother of God Parish on W. Sixth Street and they have been a part of education in this city ever since,” Cruze said. Currently over $400,000 in renovation and restoration is happening in the old Salvation Army building, which dates back to 1924. REGAN COOMER/STAFF
The Sisters of Notre Dame will be opening an Urban Education Center in Covington in January 2010. The center will provide after-school tutoring to Covington Independent School District students. Two years ago the sisters put together a focus group made up of religious, education, community and social service leaders to find out what they could do to best help Covington. “It all came back to we need to help the kids,” Cruze said. Besides academic tutoring, the sisters hope to expose the students to cul-

We want to help all children become successful in life,” Cruze said. In a June 14 article by The Cincinnati Enquirer Covington schools were reported to be in last place in CATS testing with an 89
percent poverty rate and a 3 percent rate of students who graduate college ready. “We are fortunate that organizations in the Covington community want to extend a helping hand to our students,” said Lynda Jackson, superintendent of Covington Independent Public Schools. “We welcome the assistance.”

River Ridge students rewarded for good behavior
jbrubaker@nky.com
River Ridge students are giving new meaning to the phrase “going green”. The school recently held their first Behavior Store of the year to reward kids for good behavior in the classroom and around the school. Using a traffic light system, the students start each day on green, with bad behavior causing them to move down to yellow, red, or even blue, which means a trip to the principal’s office. At the end of the month, students with two or fewer “yellow lights” can visit the behavior store to select a prize from a collection of toys, posters, and other trinkets. Most of the prizes are donated to the school, although Melissa
Barnes, who helps run the store, said she makes a few of the posters using photos and a laminating machine. “The kids love these pictures, and it’s a pretty easy thing to make,” she said. “They really just love being able to get any kind of prize - they’re always full of smiles when they come through here.” Sherry Taylor, who also helps run the shop, said the school uses the traffic light system to allow students a little leniency, with the yellow light serving as a warning for the first instance of bad behavior on the day. “We certainly don’t want them to be on red or blue, so the yellow is kind of a warning that they need to cut out what they’re doing,” she said. “We’d love to have them all on green all the

time, but this way they can maybe have a bad moment and then start fresh the next day.” Second-grader Savannah Harmon, clutching her poster, said the behavior store is definitely an incentive to be on good behavior at all times. “I hope I always stay on green so I can come here,” she said. “It means you have to listen to the teacher and do all your work and not talk out of turn, but it’s also cool that you get a prize if you do that.” Taylor said that students who remain on green all year will get to choose from a larger batch of prizes at the end of the year. “It’s just a cool program where the kids can see the value in behaving and paying attention in school,” she said. “I think they really enjoy it.”
Fifty students from Kenton County have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT. The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of Mayfield, who served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997. Local students who earned this prestigious designation are: • Beechwood High School: Brent Bishop, Rebecca Matthews, Matthew Miller, Justin Penny, Taylor Prewitt, Jordan Redfield, Christian Williams. • Calvary Christian School: Rachel Madden, Jamie Rust. • Covington Catholic High School: Alex Etling. • Covington Latin High School: Brian Becker, Rachel Bier, Jesse Coe, Kelly King, Sierra O’Bryan, Andrea Patton, Brynn Stylinski. • Dixie Heights High School: Naseem Ansari, Alexander Benken, Taylor Jackson, Corinne Long, Sabrina Schatzman. • Ludlow High School: Derek King, Christina Pelfrey, John Troehler. • Scott High School: Christina Barth, Matthew Dickman, Kelly Gregory, Andrea Hiller, Carly Hood, Brian Jones, Ronald Kloska, David Mettens, Sydney Otis, Charles Schmidt, Ian van Lierop. • Simon Kenton High School: Wesley Abrams, Tyler Blau, Tyler
Brann, Emily Cain, Erin Graham, Stacey Lankheit, Amanda Lukas, Andrew Malott, Samantha McKenzie, Mary Ann Mullins, Craig Schadler, Kayla Smith, Jessica Wolsing. • Villa Madonna Academy: Emily Schubert. “My congratulations go to these hardworking and deserving students for this tremendous academic accomplishment,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “A strong education system builds the foundation for students to be successful in college and beyond, and I am grateful for the dedication and support of the faculty, administrators and the parents who helped these students succeed. I know they are proud of them today.” As Sen. Jeff Green Scholars, these students are eligible for at least $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery proceeds and may be used at most colleges and universities in Kentucky. Students may access their KEES account information at www.kheaa.com by setting up a Zip Access account. For more information about KEES, write to KHEAA, P.O.

Scott faces tough schedule before playoff have.”
By Adam Turer
Highlands 52, Dixie Heights 9
eastsports@communitypress.com
The Scott Eagles will spend the next few weeks fine-tuning and trying to improve as they prepare for the postseason. With a playoff berth already secured, the Eagles will go up against a brutal schedule over the final four weeks of the regular season. The key for Scott will be to focus on their preparation and performance and not worry about the final score as they face Covington Catholic, Holmes, Highlands, and Simon Kenton to finish out the regular season. “ W e want to focus on what we do,” assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Dan Wolley said. “We’ve got a really tough road ahead of us, but it’s just going to make us better prepared for the playoffs.” The Eagles have momentum heading into their Oct. 10 contest at Cov Cath, after defeating Lloyd 34-26 on Friday, Oct. 2. It was a back-and-forth shootout that featured big plays from both teams. The Eagles were able to make more of the big plays and made them when they needed them most. After the defense held Lloyd to a three-and-out on the first possession of the game, the Eagles offense put together a crucial scoring drive to take the early lead. “It was huge for us to get on board first and not play from behind like we have been,” said Wolley.

Scott senior quarterback Zach Sowder runs upfield during Scott’s 34-26 win at Lloyd Oct. 2. Quarterback Zach Sowder rushed for 217 and two touchdowns. His 68-yard touchdown sprint in the fourth quarter sealed the win for the Eagles. Sowder surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the season early in the game. “We had trouble stopping their quarterback runs,” Lloyd head coach Roy Lucas said. “He’s really good.” Every time the Eagles found the endzone, the Juggernauts responded. Seth Chappie rushed for one score and caught a touchdown pass. Quarterback Dylan McGuire passed for 247 yards and three touchdowns, including 49-yard score to Trevor Gregory on a double reverse flea-flicker in the second quarter to tie the game at 13. Scott responded with some trickery of its own, as sophomore Ryan Sowder connected with Doug Patton for a 37-yard touchdown on a halfback pass. Patton also rushed for a touchdown.
Zach Sowder, who has been the Eagles’ do-it-all MVP all season, got some much needed help from his supporting cast. His brother Ryan rushed for 63 yards on nine carries, and sophomore Aaron Smith added 87 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. “I can’t say enough about Zach Sowder,” Wolley said, “but we also had some younger players step up when we needed them.” The Eagles improved to 2-4 on the season with the win. Wolley expects his team will benefit from a tough northern Kentucky schedule come playoff time. Pulling out a win in a close game and seeing the offense come alive after being shut out the week before proves that the Eagles will battle in every game. “Our kids keep fighting to the end, and that’s what we’re most proud of,” said Wolley. “Northern Kentucky has the best football teams in the state and come the first round of the playoffs, we’re pretty sure our opponent will not have played as tough a schedule as we
The Bluebirds (7-0) rolled up 484 yards of offense, led by Austin Collinsworth. The senior rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries, all in the first half. Sophomore quarterback Patrick Towles was 11-19 for 178 and three touchdowns in his first varsity start. Senior quarterback Ryan Wilson led the Colonels (34) with 123 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He also completed 19 of 35 passes for 167 yards and kicked a 42-yard field goal.

New, veteran golfers earn trip to state By James Weber

The Covington Catholic golf team is used to qualifying for state but had not won a regional title in three years. So it was a mixed blessing when the Colonels finished second in the Region 7 tournament Sept. 28 at Twin Oaks Golf & Plantation Club in Covington. The Colonels were runner-up to Ryle for the third straight year. “We’re disappointed to lose for the third year in a row, but I’m proud that we’re going back down to state,” senior Mickey Sutton said. The state tournament is Oct. 6-7 in Bowling Green. Sutton, the lone returning starter from 2008, shot an 81 for the Colonels. The last CovCath golfer to finish his round, his 39 on the back nine proved to be crucial in what turned out to be a tight race for the second team berth at state. Cooper was two strokes behind CovCath in third place. “I’m proud of the guys for battling,” said head coach Mickey Fritz. “We didn’t happen to bring our ‘A’ game. We’ll just have to compete well at the state tourney and get ready for that.” Alex Ammerman was CovCath’s top finisher with

Beechwood was fifth in Region 7 (342). Drew Kinman shot 78 to qualify for state, Josh Bertke 84, Zack Whitehurst 87, Chase Cox 93 and Justin Wilcox 102. Villa was eighth at 349. Ryan Schroth shot 83, Will Gross 86, David Schuh 87, Max Leneave 93 and Gavin Wichmann 103. Covington Latin shot 437.
Andy Merkle shot 94, Kevin Clancy 100, Spencer Fogelman 117 and Hank Bischoff 121. Dixie had one of the individual qualifiers in Blake Adkins with 79. The Colonels were ninth with 352. Jason Rose shot 88, Zach Day 101, Cory Abeling 88 and Nate McKinney 99. Holy Cross was seventh with 346. Robbie Broering shot 81, Brandon Trame 85, Nick Bockweg 89, Jake Burger 91 and Greg Dooley 92. Scott was 15th at 415. Tim Goss shot 103, Jared Best 108, Seth Robinson 102, Aric Wren 107 and Collin Myers 103.
In girls’ golf play Sept. 29, Notre Dame won the Region 6 title at Perry Park. The Pandas avenged recent losses to Grant County this season, as Grant finished third. It is NDA’s sixth straight regional title and sends the Pandas to the state tourney Oct. 9-10 in Bowling Green. The Pandas are the only team to make the secondround cut at the state tourney each of the last five years. Notre Dame shot 346 in the regional. Angela Pugliano was third overall with 79. Kia Bakunawa had 87, Ali Cheesman 89, Kelsey Kennedy 90 and Carly Metzger 102. Beechwood senior Paige
Gooch shot a 77 to finish as regional runner-up. She will compete at state for the third time. “I’m really excited about it,” Gooch said. “My game has gotten a whole lot better in the past year. It’s all coming together.” Gooch credited her work in the past year with Northern Kentucky veteran golf professional Doug Martin for helping her. She finished 37th at state last year. With the state tourney returning to Bowling Green, Gooch hopes a third time around the course will lead to the charm of a top 20 finish or better. She said a key difference in the Bowling Green Country Club is the rough is

Mickey Sutton is the lone returning starter for Covington Catholic. 80. Joey Frederick and Andrew Kendall had 84’s and Josh Moorman shot 89. Sutton, in his fourth year on the team, was looking forward to bouncing back at state. “Golf is a daily challenge,” he said. “You can always start over the next day.” Beechwood’s Drew Kinman (78) and Dixie Heights’ Blake Adkins (79) snared individual spots at state with their scores. Adkins, a freshman, is in his third season with the Colonels. His career best score is 69 at the Kenton County Pioneer course. “It feels great,” he said. “There was a lot of pressure. Putting really saved me. I was making all the short ones, and that was important.”

I don’t know of another course here that has it. It’s thicker and the ball lies differently.” Gooch has been playing the sport most of her life and enjoys learning something from every round she plays, good or bad. “Every course is different,” she said. “You never hit the same shot twice. You’re always shooting for a new goal. Dad and I always break down each round. No matter how well I do, there’s always room for improvement. I know I could have hit that one green or made that putt. It never gets boring.”

Junior returns to state tourney By James Weber jweber@nky.com
Morgan Larison expects a better experience in her second state golf tournament. The Simon Kenton junior will compete in the state tourney after shooting an
86 in last week’s Region 6 girls’ golf championship. She grabbed one of four individual berths for players not on qualifying teams. Last year, Larison shot an 88 and did not make the cut to compete in the second round. She missed the cut-
off by just two shots. Like recent years, the state tourney will be in Bowling Green. The girls compete Oct. 9-10. “Last year I was nervous, but I’m a little more calm and confident because this is my second time going
down there,” she said. “I know the course better and I should be able to make the cut.” Golf has been a staple in her family since she was little. Larison has played for most of her life and has been part of the Pioneer team since seventh grade. She considers herself to be a good long-ball hitter. “I like the competitiveness of it,” she said. “It’s just you against yourself and the course and trying to beat your score.”

Transplant trees, shrubs in fall Question: Is this a good time to plant trees and shrubs in my landscape, or should I wait until spring? Answer: Broadleaf evergreens like hollies, boxwoods and rhododendrons tend to dry out over the winter, since they “transpire” (lose water through their leaves) all winter; thus it may be better to wait until March or April to plant them. Most other trees and shrubs, however, respond well to fall planting. Selecting the right varieties for the location and transplanting them in the fall gives trees and shrubs a head start on winter and helps them provide pleasure and beauty for years to come. Now through November is a good time to transplant trees and shrubs. Ornamentals lose less
m o i s t u r e because fall days are shorter, outdoor temperatures are cooler and rainfall usually is adequate. These conditions also help Mike Klahr retain soil moisture so plants Community can settle into Recorder their new locacolumnist tion. Also, many of these plants are deciduous and lose their leaves in the fall so their demand for water is less. Trees and shrubs also undergo internal changes that promote root growth and increase tolerance to winter weather. Leaf growth during the summer produced sugars that were
moved into the roots, so ample energy is available to re-establish strong root systems after transplanting. Woody ornamental root systems continue to grow at soil temperatures above 40 degrees, so planting in October and early November usually will give them six to seven weeks before soils reach this temperature. For best results, choose ornamentals that are hardy to the area. Avoid trees and shrubs that are only hardy to zone six or above because they are only marginally hardy in Kentucky. Planting an assortment of shrubs and trees will slow down the spread of disease and insect problems. Several ornamentals can be successfully planted in early to late fall. They include coffee tree,
crabapple, elm (disease-resistant varieties only) ginkgo, honey locust, linden, sugar maple, pagoda tree and serviceberry. It is best to wait until after leaf drop later in the fall to plant birch, flowering dogwood, oak, red maple, sweetgum and tuliptree (tulip poplar.) Dig the planting hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball, but the same depth as the root ball. Ornamentals should not be planted any deeper then they grew in a container or field. If you are not sure how deep to plant a tree, plant it on the shallow side. It is less damaging to plant a tree too shallow than to plant it too deep where it may get root rot or die from lack of oxygen. Inadequate moisture during dry periods is the primary threat
to transplant survival most years. Recent rains have helped replenish ground moisture, but the plants still need additional water. Be sure to thoroughly soak the ground after transplanting. After transplanting, apply a two- to three-inch layer of mulch. Avoid piling mulch around the base of the trunk because this may encourage rotting, and may result in vole damage to the bark. Do not fertilize newly planted trees and shrubs during the first year because it will cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of root development. Also, amending the soil with sand, compost or peat moss is unnecessary and can keep an extensive root system from developing. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? “No to the flu and H1N1 vaccines. I’ve been flu-free without the vaccine and despite having flu-like symptoms after getting a flu shot, I’ll pass to enable someone else to get the vaccine.” Florence “I plan to get a regular flu shot this week. Uncertain about the H1N1 shot. It seems the H1N1 vaccine has been manufactured in haste, and I am uncertain if the potential cure may be worse than the flu.” G.G. “I already have received my regular flu shot. When I asked about H1N1 they replied that because of my age I probably was either exposed to or had it back in the 1957 epidemic. I can’t

I also read there is a derivative of mercury (thiomersal) in the H1N1. Most severe reactions, permanent disabilities, and deaths caused by vaccines never get reported. I will probably skip the H1N1.” Duke
On Sept. 9, President Barack Obama came to the Capitol to address a Joint Session of Congress on the subject of health care reform. During his speech, the president outlined a number of broad proposals and requirements for any bill, but none were uttered more forcefully than this one: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future. Period.” This declaration was so exacting that it led New York Times columnist David Brooks to dub it “the Dime Standard.” During his address, the president outlined several goals that both members of Congress and the American people can agree upon, like making coverage affordable for all Americans and enacting insurance reform to ensure people with pre-existing conditions can find coverage. I hope that the “Dime Standard” can be counted among these shared goals. However, it is one that the health care bill being debated by the House (H.R. 3200) currently fails to meet. In
fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that H.R. 3200 would add $239 billion to the deficit in the U.S. Rep. first 10 years Geoff Davis alone and $1.6 trillion over 20 Community years. AdditionRecorder ally, H.R. 3200 guest will saddle columnist small businesses, manufacturers and families with $818 billion in new taxes. Health care costs already place a severe burden on American budgets. There are undeniable flaws in our system, and without reform, these costs will continue to grow and create new hardships for families, businesses, and state and local governments. For example, as currently structured, Medicare presents a serious challenge to the fiscal health of the federal budget. The
Davis honored by crisis center
U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis was awarded the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award from the Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) of Northern Kentucky. The award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the effort to reduce domestic violence in Northern Kentucky. Selection criteria include leadership, demonstrated impact and recognition among peers. Davis was presented the award during the WCC’s Day of Peace celebration. “Congressman Davis’ tireless dedication to fighting domestic violence makes him an ideal candidate to receive the Amy Jones Outstanding Advocate Award. Having heard him speak candidly about his own experiences with domestic violence in the past, the Women’s Crisis Center knew that he was per-
sonally invested in this cause,” said WCC Senior Public Education Specialist and Chair of the Day of Peace planning committee Ann Brandon. The Day of Peace celebration is an annual event held to promote peacemaking and reduce violence in families, neighborhoods and schools in Northern Kentucky. “The key to success in the fight against domestic violence is not only building awareness, but also building relationships. We need to show those who are caught in the cycle of violence that there is a way out and a future filled with hope, if they are willing to pursue it. It is an honor to receive this award, and I want to thank the Women’s Crisis Center for all their important work in Northern Kentucky,” Davis said.
Boards of Trustees of the Medicare Trust Funds are required annually to report to Congress an assessment of Medicare’s fiscal future. In the most recent report released in May 2009, the trustees, who include three members of the president’s Cabinet, warned that the program will accumulate nearly $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities over the next 75 years. This simple mathematical fact requires attention from Congress as a part of the ongoing health care debate. We must protect seniors and fulfill the promises made by Congress as a part of reform. Instead of addressing this elephant in the room, H.R. 3200 proposes a whole web of new government programs and agencies that will add hundreds of billions to our deficit in the first decade alone. Health care reform must embrace ideas that in the end reduce costs to the system overall instead of simply rearranging the cost burden among different payers. At the end of August, the White House announced that it expects a $9 trillion deficit over the next 10 years. That projection is nearly $2 trillion more than the White House previously forecast only three months earlier. This latest news highlights the critical importance of President Obama’s “Dime Standard.” It is past time to end Washington’s addiction to irresponsible and unsustainable spending and borrowing. More government and more debt is not the right way forward for health care reform or for our economy as a whole. President Obama’s “Dime Standard” is a good marker in the debate over health care reform, but we must seize this opportunity to enact fundamental reform that will reduce the cost of health care system-wide. Health care reform legislation must take the steps necessary to fix what is broken, wasteful, and unnecessarily costly in American health care while preserving the aspects of the system that work. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enact fiscally responsibly health care reform legislation. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Rosary March for World Peace Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:00 a.m. Meet at Florence Government Center 8100 Ewing Blvd. Florence, KY 41042 (plenty of free parking) “Pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.” - Our Lady of Fatima 1917
O
“We do not hesitate to affirm again publicly that We put great confidence in the Holy Rosary for the healing of evils which afflict our times” - Pope Pius XII
ur Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima on October 13, 1917, when the great “Miracle of the Sun” was witnessed by 70,000 people. At each of her six apparitions from May 13th to October 13th of 1917, The Blessed Virgin Mary asked for the daily Rosary, for penance, amendment of life, and Holy Communions of reparation on first Saturdays of five consecutive months. Our Lady also asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, to be made by the Pope and Bishops simultaneously in order to obtain the conversion of Russia and peace for the world. In his wonderful book, The Secret of The Rosary, Saint Louis De Montfort teaches us the importance and power of The Most Holy Rosary that was given to us by the Blessed Virgin Mary. And especially does our Saint emphasize the importance and power of the Rosary. Saint Louis De Montfort instructs: “There are several ways of praying the most Holy Rosary, but that which gives Almighty God the greatest glory, does the most for our souls and which the devil fears more than any other, is that of praying the Rosary publicly.” Furthermore, “Somebody who prays his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if we pray it together with a hundred people we gain the merit of a hundred Rosaries. This is the law of public prayer. How profitable, how advantageous this is!” We all realize the seriousness of the state of the world today. It is obvious that the efforts of man and governments will not solve the world’s problems. We need the Divine Help afforded by the praying of the Rosary. As the Blessed Virgin Mary herself said: “One day through the Rosary and Brown Scapular I will save the world.” It has been over 90 years since the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal. We must heed Our Lady’s requests and pray the Rosary every day. We must pray and do penance so we can attain world peace, and an end to the crimes of abortion and other horrible sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance. We also pray for our elected officials, our police, fire fighters; and especially our troops, so that they get home safely and quickly. “The Rosary is experiencing a new springtime. When reciting the Rosary the important and meaningful moments of salvation history are relived. The Rosary brings peace and reconciliation. It contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the center of each Hail Mary.” - Pope Benedict XVI
Please join us in an hour of prayer Saturday morning, October 10th as we pray the Rosary for World Peace and the conversion of Russia as The Blessed Virgin Mary requested of mankind when she appeared at Fatima over 90 years ago.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
REGAN COOMER/STAFF
Schulz & Sons Jewelers will be hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness weekend Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16 and 17. The business, located in Fort Mitchell, will donate 10 percent of all sales to the local chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. PANDORA Jewelry will not be included in the special event because the company is already donating funds to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Customers will receive a free “stuffed” tote for a $150 PANDORA purchase. Vice President Matthew Schulz hopes the two-day event will raise not only awareness, but funds to help find a cure for breast cancer.

Help support breast cancer awareness at Schulz & Sons Jewelers Oct. 16 and 17. The Fort Mitchell business, located at 2202 Dixie Highway, will donate 10 percent of every sale on the two-day event to the local chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “It’s the third year since I took over the business and after a couple years of getting my feet wet I wanted to find ways to give back to the community,” said Matt Schulz, vice president of the company. The only exception to the sale is PANDORA products because the company has dedicated $100,000 to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Schulz hopes the twoday special event will help promote the breast cancer awareness cause. “One in 1,000 women is
affected. More than likely each person in the community knows or knows of somebody with breast cancer,” Schulz said. “This money can help improve their future.” Breast cancer awareness is just one of the ways Schulz & Sons gives back to the community – the 56year-old business also donates thousands of dollars to local schools and organizations for silent auctions. “We view our customers as individuals and we view each piece of jewelry as a personal representation of them,” Schulz said. Customers can trade in diamonds and gold for credit or design one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings and more in-store using Schulz & Sons’ Virtual Display Case technology. “Turn your out-of-date design into something new,” Schulz said.

Checking our images of God unfamiliar again. This holds true whether the familiar thing be a flower, a snowfall, a job or even God. Mystics call this process “awakening.” Most of our lives we just go on turning the pages of our mental book, “Things I Know For Sure.” Our pictures of God were pasted there when we were kids. Now they’re cracked, sepia-colored, and a little dusty. Archie Bunker had a large album of them to which he referred frequently. One of the attractions to the recent novel, “The Shack,” seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Archie would have condemned the book. Certainly there is a need to recognize the stability and steadfastness of God. The psalmists often used descriptive words like “fortress” and “rock” to do this. What must be remembered is that God is an absolute mystery. St. Anselm described God as “The One beyond that is able to be thought.” That
means in our dealings with God we must develop a tolerance for ambiguity. In his book “God, The Oldest Question,” William J. O’Malley, S.J., writes, “I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a feminine principle within God, just as the book of Wisdom pictures her. “But in my experience, God is … far more masculine (challenging, rational, decisive, unbending) than feminine (cherishing, enfolding, mothering, consoling.) Again in my experience, if God is a ‘she,’ God is one damn tough cookie.” The parables of Jesus Christ are stories about people, but their real plot is about the heart of God. Notice that there is always an element of astonishment, surprise and the unexpected in them. The measured expectations of those hearing them are shattered. God was always more than anticipated. John Shea writes, “As Mark says, ‘He was too much for them.’ Like a woman who loves too much, like ointment that
costs too much and is spilled Father Lou too much, like a sevGuntzelman e n t y Perspectives t i m e s seven God who forgives too much.” Today we like a housebroken God, a God we can keep on a leash, who has predictable habits, doesn’t generate questions, and makes sense by our logic. Author Kathleen Norris writes: “One so often hears people say, ‘I just can’t handle it,’ when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord and Judge, God as a lover… God on a cross. … If we seek a God we can ‘handle’ that will be exactly what we get – a God we can manipulate, suspiciously like ourselves, the wideness of whose mercy we’ve cut down to size.” What we get then is not God. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com.

Humans have a strong tendency to categorize things. Then we paste our categories in a mental book titled, “Things I Know For Sure.” This makes us feel more secure but less enthralled. Often it takes a crisis to rediscover how something old can be new again. St. Augustine has always intrigued me. After his conversion to Christianity, he wrote a prayer that began, “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new …” Imagine that! Not perceiving God in the typical category of being judgmental, severe or powerful – but beautiful. God is a frequent recipient of our familiarizing. God never grows up in our minds, never becomes new, exciting and breathtaking. He remains an old grandfatherly man or mean-spirited critic. To expand the quality of our lives, G.K. Chesterton once said that our spiritual and psychological task is to learn to look at familiar things until they become

Treat your palate to tastes of the past When it comes to autumn festivals, two stand out for me – the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio, and the Old West Fest i v a l between M o u n t Orab and Williamsburg. They are as difRita ferent as Heikenfeld night and day to Rita s kitchen e a c h other, but each is historically correct, whether it’s the architecture, dress code, entertainment, or the food offered. Plus when you visit, you are literally transported back into time. Now I love to cook, but I’m not sure I’d make it as a “Renaissance girl” in the kitchen. And I don’t think Drew Deimling, a Hyde Park reader and proprietor of the Old West Festival, would hire me as a cowgirl rustling up
supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for the kind of foods eaten during those times.
Kathy’s Renaissance chicken pie served in bread bowls
Originally from Kathy Kneipp, a Clermont County reader. She loves history and taught her kids about the Renaissance by having them help her prepare a Renaissance meal. Here’s my adaptation: 2 frying chickens, cut up 1 teaspoon garlic powder (opt.) 1 small onion, cut up 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄2 cup flour 1 cup milk Broth from chicken Salt and pepper to taste Fill a pan with enough water to cover chicken, add garlic powder and onion, but do not add the chicken yet. Bring water to a boil.
Lower heat then add chicken. Simmer until tender. Remove chicken, let cool and remove from bones. Reserve broth. Melt butter in a skillet, whisk in flour and cook slowly for one minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup chicken broth and stir carefully. Add another 1⁄2 cup broth. Season everything with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a serving platter and pour sauce over and serve. To serve in bread bowls: Cut off top of round loaf of bread. Hollow out bottom 2 ⁄3, and set the reserved bread aside. In preheated 350 degree oven, toast the hollowed out bread round along with the reserved pieces for a few minutes. Pour the chicken topped with sauce into bread bowl. Use chunks of reserved bread to dunk into bowl and to act as a utensil.
Old West pulled pork barbecue
Cook 10 minutes, remove bay leaf and add meat that has been shredded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer, uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. Even easier: To a bottle of purchased barbecue sauce, sprinkle in some chili powder, garlic powder and, if you want it sweeter, brown sugar to taste. Thin with a bit of the broth if you want. Again, cook about 30 minutes uncovered in the crockpot.
In the Old West you had to raise the pig, butcher it, smoke the hams, etc. Lucky for us we can just go to the grocery where the pork is neatly wrapped, ready to cook. Cook a pork loin roast in 3 cups water with a diced onion, a teaspoon or so minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, in the crockpot until done (about three hours on high, five hours on low). When cool, shred. Measure out 1 quart broth from cooked meat. Add to that:
Can you help?
The number of requests for these recipes is growing each day: • Like Syktop Bigg’s chicken salad • Mio’s creamy garlic salad dressing • Strawberry lasagna like Bravo’s Café, Augusta, Ky.
1 bottle ketchup 1 ⁄2 cup mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (opt.) 1 ⁄2 to 1 cup brown sugar 1 bay leaf 2 slices lemon 1 tablespoon each: vinegar and Worcestershire sauce Dash or two Tabasco sauce (opt.)

Health department to administer flu shots Even with the emergence of swine flu (H1N1) this year, seasonal influenza is still a concern. Seasonal influenza is a serious disease that results in 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations every year on average. Fortunately, there is a way to protect against the seasonal flu – getting an annual seasonal flu vaccine. The Northern Kentucky Health Department is encouraging any Northern Kentucky resident wanting to reduce his or her risk of getting seasonal influenza to be vaccinated this fall or early winter. The Health Department will offer the seasonal flu vaccine at four off-site clinics. This vaccine does not protect against swine flu. The clinics are open to the public and no appointment is necessary. Cost for the vaccine is $25. Medicare and Medicaid will be accepted. Residents of Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties will not be turned away due to inability to pay. All clinics will be open from 4 to 7 p.m. Dates and locations are as follows: • Monday, Oct. 12, at First Baptist Church of Walton, 47 S. Main St., Walton.
• Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Erlanger branch of the Kenton County Public Library, 401 Kenton Lands Road, Erlanger. • Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Grant County Public Library, 201 Barnes Road, Williamstown. • Thursday, Oct. 15, at the First Baptist Church of Cold Spring, 4410 Alexandria Pike, Cold Spring. “While the swine flu virus has been the focus of attention since the spring, it is important that we do not forget the risks posed by seasonal influenza viruses,” said Steven R. Katkowsky, M.D., District Director of Health. “We expect that seasonal flu viruses will circulate this season along with swine flu. Thus, it is important to get a seasonal flu shot as soon as you are able to. We expect the swine flu vaccine to be available later in the year.” To encourage increased vaccination for children, the Health Department is offering pediatric and preservative-free doses of the seasonal flu vaccine. Flu vaccination is also strongly recommended for those who are at high-risk of developing complications from the flu, including:
• People over age 65, especially those who have an underlying medical condition, such as heart disease or diabetes, or who have weakened immune systems • Residents of long-term care facilities. • People with an underlying medical condition. • Pregnant women. • Health-care workers who have direct patient contact. • Family members of and out-of-home caregivers for children less than 6 months old. This year's seasonal flu vaccine is effective against viruses most likely to cause the seasonal flu, but not swine flu. The classic symptoms of influenza include sudden onset of chills, fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, dry cough and extreme fatigue. Children who develop flu symptoms should not be treated with aspirin or aspirin-containing medications, as it can lead to Reye's Syndrome. For more information on the seasonal and swine flu, please call the Health Department's flu information line at 859.392.0678 or visit http://www.nkyhealth.org.

The Owen family of Northern Kentucky will walk in the fourth annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children's on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Coney Island. Registration and kids' activities begin at 8 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. Larry and Serena Owen understand the importance of the walk all too well. Their two children, Destiny, 3, and Jibril, 15, have visited several divisions at the hospital including the Teen Health Center, occupational therapy, audiology and ophthalmology. Serena credits the doctors at Cincinnati Children's for saving Jibril's life. “After going to another doctor for several years, we never realized that Jibril had hypertension. The first time we brought him to Cincinnati Children's (a year and a half ago), they diagnosed him with it and told us that his blood pressure level was at stroke level,” Serena said. "We are grateful that the doctors at Cincinnati Children's took the time to properly diagnose Jibril and to educate us about his medical condition.” Jibril is now a healthy teenager who enjoys playing basketball. Destiny was born with developmental delays and when she first started visiting Cincinnati Children's two years ago, she had a tough time warming up to the doctors. But, over time, Child Life Specialists have
Making Strides walk is Oct. 11 Join the fight against breast cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5mile walk on Sunday, Oct. 11. The walk takes place at Yeatman's Cove on the Cincinnati Riverfront. Registration begins at 8 a.m. The walk starts at 9 a.m. This event typically attracts 8,000 to 10,000 people to honor and celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate women about the importance of reducing their cancer risk, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and support programs to further progress against this disease. To register or find more information, visit www.cancer.org/stridesonline, call 1800-227-2345 or e-mail alice.sowers@cancer.org.
helped Destiny ease her fears of visiting the hospital and now her appointments go by smoothly. Serena said her family is grateful to everyone at Cincinnati Children's for helping her family. In fact, the family is so fond of the Family Resource Center staff and the Child Life Specialists that they have honored both departments by giving them plaques to show them how much they are appreciated. “The staff at Cincinnati Children's cares about their patients and they have been such a blessing to our family. Everyone there has helped our children to overcome daily obstacles and beat the odds,” Serena said. This will be the first year that the family will participate in the walk, and they're looking forward to their family and friends joining them. As a not-for-profit organization, Cincinnati Children's relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund life-saving research, patient care and education. Cincinnati Walks for Kids is more than a fundraising walk. It's a day packed with family fun at Coney Island, a Queen City treasure for more than a century. The day will begin with an opening ceremony to honor patients, families and caregivers and thank the community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children's. Walkers may choose a 3-mile or 1-mile walk route. All walkers will receive a medal as they
cross the finish line, followed by a complimentary lunch. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids' Carnival, where children can make crafts, enjoy four amusement rides and have their faces painted. Families can also visit the remembrance garden, a serene setting to honor loved ones. “Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator. There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25. Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the medical center, or have their gifts used to meet the hospital's greatest needs. Proceeds from the event will help provide hope and healing to the children and families cared for by Cincinnati Children's. People of all ages can participate in the walk. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are welcome. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets on their property. For more information or to register to walk or support a walker, visit www.cincinnatichildrens.or g/walk or call 513-6362941.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge.
