Not only does Paul Paff believe in miracles, he also has faith in dreams coming true. Paff, 80, is home safe and sound after falling into his septic tank last month and being stranded for hours. The Pontius Road man said it was a gentle fall, ending with him in mud and water up to his waist. He said he took the tumble, landing on his feet, at about 2 p.m. and it was three hours before he attracted the attention of his neighbor’s dog. “I would stand, then sit, and holler every once in a while,” he said from the comfort of his recliner.

“When he started to bark, after I’d been down there for hours, I started to bark and growl back at him. It worked. “I knew somebody would eventually hear me or would miss me when I didn’t show up at the hospital to visit my wife.” Murphy, the neighbor’s dog, alerted his owners to Paff’s plight and they called 911 at about 5 p.m. Stacey Walsh, who was spending time at her mother’s house two doors down from Paff, heard the dog barking and eventually found Paff. She saw his shoes and came over. “She said ‘Oh, my, God, Mr. Paff!’ I said, ‘Call 911.’” It was after 9 p.m., Paff said, before he was pulled to safety and a long-time dream

came true. “I finally got to ride in a helicopter,” he said with a twinkle in his blue eyes. “My brothers teased me that I’d do anything to get to fly in a helicopter, but it was great.” The destination to University Hospital wasn’t part of Paff’s wish, but it was good enough, he said. He was kept overnight but said he suffered only a few minor scrapes and cuts from the fall. “I’m a hardheaded old German,” he said with a grin. “The worst part was having to lay on a hard gurney at the hospital while they scrubbed me off.” Paff said he had noticed a patch of grass on top of the septic tank and went to investigate. “I knew the tank lid was there, but I didn’t know it would crumble apart like that,” he said. Paff said he was never concerned that he wouldn’t be rescued from what he described as the “burial vault sized” septic tank. He credits the Delhi Township Fire Department and members of the Hamilton County Urban Search and Rescue unit. “I believe in miracles and I’ve been telling people they happen all the time all around us,” he said. His next miracle may be keeping his accident from his wife of 61 years, Ruth. She is due to be released soon from the hospital for a minor illness, he said. “I haven’t told her and I don’t plan on it,” he said. “She’d have a fit if she ever found out.”

Forum offered candidate insights By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

At least one Delhi Township resident came away a better informed voter after the Delhi Civic Association candidate forum. Maryanne Campana said she came to the forum thinking she knew who she was voting for for township trustee. “I’ve made up my mind on that race, but I want to find out about the school board candidates,” she said before the public forum. She said she was basing her trustee vote on her own opposition to the Delhi Road thoroughfare project. Campana said she objected to township money being spent to improve a Hamilton County road. Campana said attending the

forum and getting information on issues and candidates is every voter’s obligation. “It’s important to be informed and I find it sad that so many are uninformed when they go to vote,” she said. Kevin Kappa, civic association president, estimated about 100 people attended the forum which featured representatives for issues including the library. Also on hand were Oak Hills Local School District board candidates Rick Ahler, Jack Pollock, Jeannie Schoonover and Ritsa Tassopoulos, all of whom agreed school funding is the major challenge facing the board and district. All six of the candidates for the two Delhi Township trustee seats also were part of the forum. Asked about new initiatives they’d bring to the township,

Kevin Rhodes said a property maintenance code is a top priority. Terry Doherty said bringing new business by offering tax breaks is something he’d like to achieve. Mary Brigham wants to see the township adopt a strategic plan, both long- and short-term, to better meet financial needs. Incumbent Mike Davis said he’d initiate a youth leadership council and fellow incumbent Jerry Luebbers said he would work to see if an economic development district would be a feasible scheme to attract and keep

businesses. Marijane Klug stressed the need for the township to secure funding beyond property taxes. While the campaigning has been testy at times, trustee candidates refrained from trading barbs and all agreed not going to voters for more tax money any time soon is critical. After the forum ended, Campana said she may be changing her trustee votes. “I was sure I had made up my mind, but now I’m not certain,” she said. “It was a very informative evening.”

Covedale opens new addition By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Doug Ridenour said it’s been amazing to watch what was once just a vision for the old Covedale Cinema become a reality. When the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre purchased the cinema in May 2002, he said the goal was always to transform the old movie house into one of the city’s premier live performance theaters. More than seven years and a lot of sweat and hard work later, that goal is nearly complete.

Members of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts Center family gathered Tuesday, Oct. 6, to celebrate the completion of the center’s most recent renovation project – a $400,000 addition to the backstage that houses dressing rooms, a rehearsal studio, restrooms, a green room, workshop, storage room and a dock. “This is something we envisioned when we bought the place in 2002,” said Ridenour, a Green Township resident and chairman of the board of Cincinnati Landmark Productions,

The commission awarded the Covedale a grant to help complete the new theater addition. which is the owner and operator of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre and the production company for Showboat Majestic. “The whole organization is built around our volunteers, and there has been a lot of sweat equity put into this place by many dedicated people. “We’ve taken baby steps each year, but this is by far the biggest project we’ve completed,” he said. He said the backstage addition, which was funded

Darla Ober said St. William’s haunted house is different than any other in Cincinnati.

Not only does the haunted house scare the pants off people, but she said it also offers fun for the whole family and supports a great cause. “The haunted house is the biggest fundraiser for St. William School,” she said. This year marks the 17th annual St. William Haunted House and Fall Festival. Ober and her husband, Mike, have been in charge of the event since the beginning. “It’s my hobby,” Mr. Ober said. “Some people golf, I build haunted houses.” He said his love for creating scary scenes started about 30 years ago when he transformed his parents’ Bridgetown home into a haunted house, and he hasn’t looked back since. When he and Darla married and moved to Price Hill he began building one on their side porch, but he soon outgrew the space. Mrs. Ober said they put the idea for a St. William haunted house to the school’s PTO in 1992, and since then the event has raised more than $112,000 for the school. “We thought a haunted house would be a great fundraiser for the school, and it has funded a lot of great projects at St. William,” she said. Proceeds from the event

Dent resident Dave Papin said he and his wife, Sue, have been season ticket holders at the Covedale for the past several years. The couple were among about 100 people who attended the grand opening celebration and got a tour of the new facility. “It’s a big improvement for the people who are in the production,” he said. “And the productions here have always been great. You get a quality show at a reasonable price that rivals almost anything else in town.” Ridenour said refurbishing the original marquee on the front of the building is the next improvement project on the list, but that project still needs funding.

Don’t be scared The 17th annual St. William Haunted House and Fall Festival is open from 7-10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 16, 17, 23, 24 and Friday, Oct. 30, at the school, 4125 St. William Ave. Darla Ober, a St. William parishioner who helps organize the event each year, said St. William’s haunted house is different than any other in the city because it offers indoor waiting with plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy. Those who go for the haunted house can stay for the hot chocolate, caramel apples and ghoulish games. Children can have their faces painted, their hair sprayed or their picture taken with one of St. William’s have allowed the PTO to buy school desks, cafeteria tables, pay for field trips and build a fence around the playground. And although Darla and Mike Ober have been involved from the start, they are the first to credit the hundreds of volunteers who help make the haunted house a success each year. “We have so many talented people at St. William who volunteer their time, and that’s a really rewarding part of it,” Mrs. Ober said.

Westwood resident Tim Perrino, artistic director for the Covedale and the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre, said the backstage addition represents the final conversion of the center from a movie house to a real, live performance venue. “We are here because so many great people have cared,” Perrino said. “This building has been a neighborhood landmark, and now hopefully we will continue to be a beacon lighting up the west side of Cincinnati.”

Green get veterans tower

In honor of township bicentennial; first one in state

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Green Township residents are invited to take part in two days of festivities honoring the community’s military veterans and commemorating the township’s bicentennial. As part of its year-long celebration of 200 years of community, the township is installing a Veterans Tribute Tower crafted by The Verdin Co. at Veterans Park on Harrison Avenue. “We thought it would be a nice, unique presentation to the citizens and the veterans of Green Township,” said Green Township Trustee Tony Upton. “It’s a tribute to 200 years of the township and the veterans who have served our country.” Bob Santoro, spokesman for Cincinnati-based Verdin Co., said the bell and clock maker is building and

installing Veterans Tribute Towers across the United States as a way to enable communities to honor and thank their veterans. He said for every tower built, Verdin donates a portion of the revenue to the Commission on the Future of America’s Veterans, a private body examining the needs of our veterans and developing a strategic plan for their future as their needs in health care, employment and transition back to their communities grow. Green Township will use tax increment financing funds to pay for the tower, which costs $225,000, according to the township. “The Green Township community has a deep tradition of honoring veterans and will be bringing the first Veterans Tribute Tower to the state of Ohio,” Santoro said. Jennifer Barlow, Green Township’s development assistant and member of the Bicentennial Committee, said the tower itself, which stands 30 feet tall, was scheduled to be delivered to the township Saturday, Oct.

She said two

students from each school in the township, representatives from each branch of the military and members of Green Township VFW Post 10380 will participate in an ingot passing ceremony, in which 500 pounds of bronze ingots will be placed in a furnace and melted.

Santoro said the molten bronze is then poured into a custom made bell mold where it will cool and harden overnight. The pouring and firing of Green Township’s bell will begin at 6 p.m. on Oct. 16. Barlow said dignitaries and former township trustees will help break the mold surrounding the bell in a ceremony at noon Saturday, Oct. 17. She said township residents could get a chance to break the mold as well. After the bell is sandblasted and polished for four hours, she said the township will unveil its custommade bronze bell at a ceremony and reception at 6 p.m. Oct. 17, at the administration building. “This is a gratifying experience to know that we will have a permanent, lasting tribute to those that made and continue to make sacrifices for each and every one of us each day,” Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler said.

elected in November 2005. He said a lot of great things have happened for Oak Hills in the past eight years, but he wants to continue serving on the board because the district still has work to do. The district’s recent state report card rating of Excellent with Distinction means it will have to keep working hard to foster academic excellence and move the district forward through the 21st century and beyond, Pollock said. And doing so must be done in a fiscally responsible manner, he said. The state’s financial situation will create the biggest challenge for the district, as he said the state could cut school funding or pass down unfunded educational mandates. He said Oak Hills must be prepared to deal with those challenges. The district also needs to always evaluate its educational offerings to keep up with the competitive marketplace, whether it be expanding the district’s post-secondary program or adding Advanced Placement courses. “This is all about our kids and the investment in their future,” Pollock said. “We have to provide our students as many options as possible as they ready themselves to go out there into an ever-changing global landscape.” Pollock and his wife have a son who graduated from Oak Hills and a daughter who is a senior at the high school this year. Schoonover , a Green Township resident who graduated from Oak Hills in 1962, was a teacher at C.O. Harrison and J.F. Dulles elementary schools for seven years before serving as the guidance counselor at Dulles for nine years. She went on to be an assistant principal in the Forest Hills district, and a principal at elementary schools in Campbell County and

Tassopoulos

Cincinnati Public. She retired in 2002 and worked part-time for three years for the Hamilton County Educational Service Center as a school improvement consultant. “As an educator I’ve spent more than 29 years working to better the education of children and to help them grow,” she said. Schoonover said she is a proactive person and wants the district to have plans in place to handle future challenges from the state, such as funding cuts and mandatory all-day kindergarten. She said the board should always have a close eye on the budget, while also placing an importance on keeping academic expectations high and avoiding complacency. “We have to keep pushing and moving students forward,” she said. “It is important to have a strong educational system to maintain the high value of our community.” Schoonover said experience counts, and her background as an educator and administrator will help continue and build future excellence in the district. She has two children who graduated from Oak Hills and six grandchildren attending school in the district. Tassopoulos is a Delhi Township resident who started her teaching career in Oak Hills at Delshire Elementary School before moving to Oakdale Elementary School. She taught thirdgrade at Oakdale until 2001, when she accepted a position at the district office as Oak Hills’ literacy coach. She retired from Oak Hills in 2008 and now works parttime for Cincinnati Public. “Oak Hills has always been really good to me, and I think the most valuable thing you can do is to give back your time to the district,” she said. She said she keeps up with the latest educational initiatives, and feels it’s

important for the board to be comprised of a diverse, well-rounded group of people and one of the members should have experience in education. Tassopoulos said she will serve as a representative of the students and teachers, and ensure the board looks out for students and provides the best education possible. “I’m not a politician. I’m doing this for the kids,” she said. “I really know this district and I know the kids and the teachers.” She said Oak Hills is fortunate to not have the financial difficulties confronting other districts, but she said the district cannot sit back and count its blessings. The school board and administration need to continue spending money wisely, and make sure the money that is spent goes toward quality in education and maintaining the district’s Excellent with Distinction designation, Tassopoulos said. She and her husband have four daughters who all graduated from Oak Hills.

Four candidates are running for two open seats on the Oak Hills Board of Education. Incumbent school board members Rick Ahlers and Jack Pollock will try to retain their positions on the board in the Tuesday, Nov. 3 election against two retired teachers – Jeannie Schoonover and Ritsa Tassopoulos. Ahlers is a Delhi Township resident who graduated from Oak Hills in 1977. He works as a collections manager at Cheviot Savings Bank and was elected to a four-year term on the school board in November 2005. He said he is running for re-election because he feels he can make a difference. He said he has passion for Oak Hills because he grew up in the district, and his grandfather and father-inlaw, both of whom served on the school board, taught him the importance of giving back to the community. Ahlers said the most important issue facing the district is school funding. “Having been on the Oak Hills Finance Committee since 2004 I feel that I have a good understanding of the process and how to deal with these tough economic times,” he said. “My background in banking is definitely a plus when it comes to knowing the importance of budgeting and working within your means.” He said he envisions the district continuing its Excellent with Distinction rating and being a leader in introducing 21st century learning techniques in the classroom. “I am very proud of the Oak Hills School District and feel that the best days are yet to be realized,” he said. Ahlers and his wife have three children. Their two sons graduated from Oak Hills and their daughter is a senior at the high school this year. Pollock, a Green Township resident who works as a project executive for IBM, was first appointed to the school board in June 2001. He was elected to the board in November 2001, and re-

Oak Hills students earn AP awards

More than 85 Oak Hills High School students have earned Advanced Placement Scholar Awards in recognition of their achievement on AP exams. The College Board’s Advanced Placement program provides students with the opportunity to take college-level courses while still in high school and earn college credit, advanced placement or both for their performance on the AP exams. About 18 percent of the 1.6 million students worldwide who took AP exams earned an AP Scholar Award. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP exams. Ashley Ng, a 2009 graduate, qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average grade of 4 or higher on a 5-point scale on all AP exams taken and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of the exams. Twenty-four students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of the exams.

Named AP Scholars with Distinction were 2009 graduates Holly Baldwin, Eric Beerman, Matthew Brems, Michael Cline, Kyle Eggerding, Cagney Feldhaus, Anna Greve, Jacob Martino, Katherine McCarthy, Alex Morgan, Ashley Ng, Julia Outcalt, Michelle Papathanas, William Price, Charlotte Schaeffer, Theresa Schmidt, Brian Simpkins, Taylor Slayback, Garrett Sprague and Eric Taber, and seniors Eden Brennan, Adam Coey, Evan Frondorf and Grace Waters. Nineteen students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of the exams. Recognized were 2009 graduates Holly Beckemeyer, Lindsey Clark, Megan Damcevski, Alexander Ebner, Emily Keeton, Alison Kehling, Vincent Kuertz, Ross Meininger, Brian Schwing and Grant Thomas, and seniors Jennifer Adkins, Allison Ahlers, Lindsey Brown, Brendan Elchynski, Joshua Ellis, Emily Gibbemeyer, Angela Memory, Derek Seymour and Brooke Sroczynski. Forty-three students qualified

for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP exams with grades of 3 or higher. Oak Hills’ AP Scholars are 2009 graduates Leah Bluemel, Rebecca Bolger, Meghan Brennan, Tyler Brisbin, Kellie Freudemann, Leah Griffin, Stacey Grippa, Kalia Haile, Rebecca Hetzer, Andrew Hinton, Marika Lee, Kara Marshall, Brittany Mathis, John Memory, Alexis Miller, Connor Ruebusch, Catlin Sweeney, Michael Thatcher, Devon Tuck, Jacob Veldhaus, Doug Weber, Zachary Weber, Michael Winter and David Yu, and seniors Steven Argentiero, Ashley Berding, Maxwell Bischoff, Rachel Blake, Joseph Eilerman, Jeremy Ernst, Kelsie Fieler, Katelyn Gilkey, Sophia Herrmann, Jamie Jackson, Riley Kilgore, Stephen Kluesener, Ashley Moore, Sara Reiners, Megan Stepp, Hillary Tate, Thomas Wiggerman and Jared Yeggy.

AP credit is accepted by more than 3,600 colleges and universities worldwide, including more than 90 percent of four-year institutions in the United States.

Cincinnati State celebrates STEM Summer Academy grads Forty-four local students have graduated from the inaugural STEM Summer Academy at Cincinnati State Technical & Community College. The STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – Summer Academy is one of eight across the state funded by the Ohio Board of Regents. The students – all but four of whom are high school seniors – successfully completed college-level courses in engineering technologies, bioscience or Spanish on an accelerated schedule, completing 10-week courses in six weeks. Participants earned credit for both high school and college, and received free tuition, parking and a lunch allowance along with a $700 stipend. “We’re pleased to partner with the Ohio Board of Regents to move forward on the important goal of increasing the number of high school students receiving college credit,’’ said Monica Posey, aca-

demic vice president at Cincinnati State. “This was a great opportunity all the way around,’’ said Tim Nolan, director of the Greater Cincinnati Tech Prep Consortium and one of the organizers of the STEM Summer Academy. Not only did the program bring together a racially and economically diverse group of students from urban, suburban and somewhat rural schools, he said, it helped give participants insight into what college might be like and confidence that they can succeed. In addition to taking one of the three specialized courses, all of the students were enrolled in Cincinnati State’s First Year Experience program, which provides an orientation to the school and the demands of college life. Admission to the program was competitive; 80 students applied to participate and those selected had to pass tests establishing their qualifications for the classes. The classes were taught by

Cincinnati State instructors. Classroom experiences ran the gamut from solving equations for electrical resistance in engineering technologies to cultivating DNA samples in bioscience. Students also attended the opera (Spanish), toured the Meridian Bioscience Inc. complex in Newtown (bioscience) and inspected the renewable energy labs at Cincinnati State (engineering technologies). Graduates of the first STEM Summer Academy included Andrew Bermudez, Nicholas Durkin, Marie Heis, Jillian Kuethe, Jason Varker and Alicia Wethington, Colerain High School; Kevin Malone, Elder High School; Caitlin Dashley, Finneytown High School; Alexandra Waldman, McAuley High School; Todd Christensen, Ashley Clifton and Adrian Parks, Mount Healthy High School; Adam Simmons, Northwest High School; Dionte Mackey-Moore, Roger Bacon High School; and Terrance Bibbs, Western Hills High School.

From left, St. William School eighth-graders Savion Truitt, Marcy Driehaus, Patrick Schoeppner and Laura Wolter were among the 47 area grade school students who were each awarded a $500 scholarship through Elder High School’s Elder Scholars Assistance Program. The winners, who came from 20 area Catholic grade schools, were awarded scholarships for their eighth-grade year based on applications they submitted and essays they wrote about community service and Catholic education. The scholarship program was founded by Elder alumnus Butch Hubert, and has grown from awarding scholarships to students in 10 schools to students in 20 schools. All the winners were recently recognized at an awards ceremony in Elder’s Schaeper Center.

Elder aims to get back to winning By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Elder football team is in a position many didn’t expect to see the Panthers in all season; in a losing streak. The Panthers, after dropping two straight to GCL foes St. Xavier and Moeller, will look to break that streak against Columbus St. Francis DeSales at home on Oct. 16. “I don’t know if we’re feeling sorry for ourselves because of injuries or what, but we seem to have lost a little bit of our enthusiasm for the game,” said Elder head coach Doug Ramsey. “We’re still a good football team and we just have to get that back.” Elder, playing without several standouts, struggled stopping the run against Moeller as the Panthers gave up 323 rushing yards to the Crusaders. While Columbus DeSales also has a capable ground attack, the Stallions’ offensive line doesn’t have the size or the skill of the Crusaders. “Moeller is the best team we’ve played all year,” Ramsey said. “Their offensive line is big and that was our concern heading into the game.” Elder’s only bright spot in the Moeller loss was Ben Coffaro, who had 104 rushing yards and a touchdown against Moeller. “Ben is a player and really performed at a high level,” Ramsey said. “I told the team I wish everyone had played like he did.” Elder will face a 5-2 DeSales team that is coming off a 17-10 win over rival Watterson. Stallions quarterback Nick Gentile is one of the main threats for DeSales, as he had 162 rushing yards on 20 carries in the Oct. 9 win. Elder, without standout

get things back together.”

Princeton 21, Oak Hills 20

The undefeated squad from Middletown (7-0) looms on the Highlanders’

schedule in week eight after Oak Hills fell below the .500 mark for the first time this season with a week-seven loss to Princeton, 21-20. Oak Hills travels to face unbeaten Middletown at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16. After starting the season

at 3-1, Oak Hills lost threeconsecutive games to fall to 3-4. The Highlanders are 1-3 in the Greater Miami Conference. In week seven, Princeton scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to best Oak Hills. The Highlanders led by a 20-7 margin before Princeton’s Spencer Ware scored on a one-yard run with 9:37 left to bring the score to 20-14. With 7:52 remaining the game, Garyn Pride scored on a 53-yard punt return to put Princeton ahead for good, 21-20. Oak Hills out-gained Princeton by a 171-125 yard margin on the ground as the Highlanders held the ball for 28:41 compared to 19:19 for Princeton. Thomas Konkoly led Oak Hills with 132 yards rushing and a touchdown on 27 carries. Ware rushed for 67 yards and threw for 161 yards to lead Princeton. Quarterback Steve Gebing was 8-of-18 passing for 101 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Highlanders. Corie Cartmell was Oak Hills’ leading receiver with 83 yards and a touchdown on five catches. Geoff Stacey also scored a touchdown for Oak Hills in week seven.

Oak Hills’ girls, others advance to districts The Oak Hills girls’ golf team advanced to the district championships with a third-place finish at the Division I Sectional Championships. Fairfield Golf Course hosted the girls sectional Tuesday, Oct. 6, with the top four teams and top four individuals not on a qualifying team advancing to districts. Oak Hills posted a score of 341 strokes to take third place at sectionals while advancing to districts. Senior Biz Paff led the way for Oak Hills after shooting a 78 at sectionals. Paff shot an impressive 37 on the back nine. Additional scores at sectionals for Oak Hills included senior Krystal Kaiser at 86, freshman Mackenzie Laumann at 86, senior Alaina Hartman at 91 and junior Lauren Heugel at 92. Saint Ursula took first place at sectionals at 322 strokes followed by secondplace Ursuline (337 strokes) and fourth-place Mt. Notre Dame (342 strokes). The Seton golf team qualified a pair of golfers for the district tournament. Senior Bailey Arnold shot a 74, good for second place.

Oak Hills’ girls golf team takes a moment to celebrate its qualification to the district championships following the Highlanders’ third-place finish at the Division I Sectional Championships on Tuesday, Oct. 6. In the picture, from left, is Jamie Sanzere, Biz Paff, Alaina Hartman, Krystal Kaiser, Coach Sandy Fernbacher, Lauren Heugel and Mackenzie Laumann. Molly Arnold shot an 82, good for ninth overall and enough to earn the last individual qualification for the district tournament.

At the Division I boys sectionals, Oak Hills senior Andrew Taske took second place as an individual while advancing to districts.

Taske shot a 74 at sectionals while falling one stroke short of a sectional title. St. Xavier junior Smith Brinker took first at section-

als with a 73. Miami Whitewater Forest Golf Course hosted the boys sectional Wednesday, Oct. 7, with Oak Hills taking fifth place at 325 strokes. Though Taske advanced, the Highlander boys missed out on a district qualification by just two strokes. Fairfield was the final team to advance to districts after taking fourth place at 323 strokes during sectionals. Brinker led the St. X golf team (305) to a sectional championship. Other contributors were Austin Estes (74), Carl Schlotman IV (78). Colin Stelljes (80) and George Rohde (82). Elder (310) finished second overall behind St. X and was led by sophomore Daniel Schwarz, who shot a 75. Other Panthers include Kevin Haas (77), Tyler Smith (78), Michael Schwarz (80) and Brennen Walsh (82). All qualifiers travel to Weatherwax Golf Course for the Division I District Championships Wednesday, Oct. 14. The top four teams and top four individuals not on a qualifying team will advance from districts to state.

Elder Panthers not finished yet A funny thing happened on Elder’s first play from scrimmage against Moeller last Friday night. No one got hurt. It may not mean much to most teams, but after losing a pair of Indiana recruits – offensive lineman Pete Bachman (broken leg) and wide receiver Tim O’Conner (broken wrist) – in back-toback weeks in that very setting, the Panthers had reason to bask in that small triumph.

and two field goals in their last two games combined. Let’s get one thing straight: Tim O’Conner cannot be replaced – and this was never more evident than last November, when Elder lost in the state finals to St. Ignatius. In a game in which the Panthers were forced to throw early and often, there was O’Conner, repeatedly ascending toward the sky and snatching pigskin from the Canton air, finishing with a statefinals record 15 catches that went for 184 yards and two scores. But O’Conner’s injury is not a death warrant on the Panthers’ season. They still have Mark Miller, the reigning Enquirer Division I Player of the Year who can sling it with any quarterback in the state. They still have a Notre Dame recruit in tight end Alex Welch. And they still have a two-headed rushing machine in Adam

But it was the only one they got that night. Moeller pummeled the Panther to Tony Meale defense the tune of Reporter's 59 carries for Notebook 323 yards and five touchdowns in a 35-13 win at The Pit, where Elder had been 16-0 since 2006. Has it come to this? So soon? Elder, which entered the season with hopes of winning a state title – and was in the running for a national championship just two weeks ago – has now lost consecutive games for the first time since 2007. The Panthers’ offense, which averaged better than 31 points per game before O’Conner’s injury, has managed just two touchdowns

For the third straight season, the Western Hills High School volleyball team hosted Volley for the Cure, which is designed to raise money for breast cancer research. The event, which was held Oct. 6, raised more than $100, and the team is accepting donations until Oct. 14.

ple to come to the game,” Western Hills head coach Peggy Peebles said. “A lot of people helped and participated, which is always good.” The money was donated to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation. It is named for Susan Goodman Komen, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 at the age of 33; she died three years later. Komen’s sister, Nancy Goodman Brinker, started the foundation in her honor in 1982. It has raised more than $1.3 billion. While Western Hills should be recognized for its philanthropy, the volleyball team has also performed spectacularly on the court this year; the Mustangs, which are 15-2 (10-0) as of Oct. 6, are galloping through the regular season. Peebles knows why. “Hard work,” she said. “The ladies come in every day ready to compete. Everything we do is about repetition.” West High, which lost only one match in the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference last season, is yet to lose in league play in 2009. Eleven of their victories have been 3-0. The Mustangs have been led by seniors Brittany Autenrieb (180 assists and 139 aces), Asia Dillingham (111 kills) and Allyndra Dillingham (58 kills and 37 assists).

Brown and Ben Coffaro. Whether you live to bleed purple or live to watch Purple Nation bleed, Millerto-O’Conner was a thing of beauty, something rarely seen between two players at the high school level. But now the Panthers need someone – anyone – to emerge as a deep threat to free up Welch across the middle and set up the ground game. And the defense must shore up its run-stopping ability before potential rematches with St. Xavier, Moeller and possibly Colerain. Either way, Elder’s season isn’t over. The Panthers are too proud, and Doug Ramsey’s too good; he’s coached in three of the last seven state-final games for a reason. An undefeated season and a GCL title are no longer possible, but a shot at the state title remains. Ramsey often asks his players, “Are you Elder football?” We’re about to find out.

Geese beautiful

It saddens me greatly to read that someone named Sandy Monahan, parks and recreation director for Delhi Township, has decided to hire someone to run the geese from Clearview Lake. What about the ducks who can’t fly? How are they going to relocate? I have lived in Delhi for more than 40 years. One of the reasons we chose to purchase property here was the proximity of the beautiful Delhi Park and lake. There have always been ducks on the lake. The geese do not cause problems for people who use the athletic field. They never stray (by foot) that far away. I enjoy seeing them fly in formation. It is just beautiful to her them coming, then see happily flying by. No one knows how much excrement one goose produces. “It is estimated that one goose can produce fours pounds,” Monahan said. Who does this estimation? In conclusion, the geese and ducks add charm that no other township has to offer. Winter is

Thanks, trustees

I want to publicly thank trustees Mike Davis, Jerry Luebbers and Al Duebber for taking the high road and doing their best to ignore Kevin Rhodes and his antics through the years and, most recently, in the Press. Just when you think Kevin can’t act or sound any more ridiculous, he opens his mouth and confirms his ignorance on yet another topic. Now he thinks he is an attorney and knows more about the Ohio Revised Code than township attorney Dave Lane, with decades of experience, and the state of Ohio. With Kevin’s personal experience with the Ohio Revised Code, you would think he would know better. Even after reading this letter, I’m sure he’ll write some inane rebuttal that brings out more of his silliness and childish views. Wake up and grow up, Kevin. Your form of ignorance, bullying and spreading of lies is not what this township needs or deserves.

How about fishermen?

I was saddened to see that the geese at Delhi Park are being sent away. I enjoyed seeing them fly in and out of the lake almost daily. But I do understand the mess they leave behind, especially on the fields where the kids play. Now, how do we get rid of the fishermen that aren't supposed to be there yet? They leave unwanted beer cans and plywood on the ground to make the lake look uglier than what the geese leave. I only wish they would respect the lake and leave it as clean as it was before they got there. Fish all you want, just take your garbage back home with you. Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard in improving Delhi Park and the lake. Maxine Alexander Timely Terrace Delhi Township

Helping women off the streets One of the challenges of the criminal justice system is to change an offender’s behavior. Violent offenders should be incarcerated to protect the public. For many non-violent offenders, behavior modification is a desirable goal. There are many social service programs that partner with Hamilton County Municipal Court. One such program is called Off the Streets. The mission of Off the Streets is to assist women involved in prostitution to move toward safety, recovery, empowerment and community reintegration. Off the Streets started in Hamilton County in 2006 and is run by Cincinnati Union Bethel. Off the Streets coordinates a network of 20 different agencies that offer comprehensive services including medical care, mental

health and substance abuse treatment, and education and employment services. Off the Streets has been enormously Judge Brad successful. In Greenberg March, Off the Streets was one Community of three national Press guest programs to win columnist the 2008 Mutual of America Community Partnership Award. The statistics provided by Off the Streets are impressive. Of the 118 women who participated in the program for at least 30 days, 86 percent reported no further involvement in prostitution and 78 percent reported no further substance use. Of the 197 women

who were involved in the program, 77 percent spent fewer or no days in jail in the six months after participation in the program compared to the six preceding months. Prostitution may be considered a non-violent crime, but it is not victimless. The women involved in prosecution that I see in court have hit rock bottom but are worth saving and in desperate need of help. Programs such as Off the Streets provide these women the tools to make positive changes. Congratulations to Cincinnati Union Bethel and all the agencies that work together to make Off the Streets a successful program. Judge Brad Greenberg is a judge in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

What many may not realize about Pontius Road’s Paul Paff’s accident and rescue on Sept. 29 is the incredible job so many rescuers did to bring about the happy ending. The first responders from the Delhi Township Fire Department thought and worked swiftly and efficiently to get Paff the assistance needed as quickly as possible. The Delhi Township Police Department set up an area for the multitude of media vehicles and personnel to perform their duties without interfering with the rescue efforts, as well as a checkpoint to limit unnecessary traffic. Special considerations that night included the high school soccer game and youth football practice in progress at St. Simon. These events limited access to otherwise available parking and open areas for the medical helicopter and other equipment needed. During a very short time, rescuers from all over the county arrived as part of the Hamilton County Urban Search and Rescue team, which was the supporting agency operating under the Delhi Fire Department’s command. Ninety percent of the equipment used belongs to Delhi. USAR provided additional manpower and a few pieces of equipment Delhi does not have. Since much of our emergency

CH@TROOM Last week’s question: Do you think early voting is a good idea, and do you plan to vote early? “Yes, early voting is a good idea. I feel with society running 24/7 businesses and some people not being able to get off work on a specific day and time they should have the opportunity to vote at their convenience. Having said that, the election board needs to be very vigilant about fraud. As we have seen with the ACORN scandal, fraud does and will happen.” L.D. “No. I don’t think it’s asking too much of citizens to take the little bit of time out of their day that’s needed to vote on Election Day.” M.S. “Yes, I think it is a good idea. It makes it possible for more people to vote and it relieves the congestion at the polls.” B.N. “ I like to vote in the booth, unless I know I will be out of town.” N.P. “No! There are very, very few people who need to vote early (with good reason). All early voting does is allow the gates open for voter fraud. We have an Election Day, keep it to then for voting! I absolutely will not vote early. I have no need to do so.” J.R. “I do not plan on voting early. I wait until election day to vote so I can gather as much information on the issues and candidates as possible. There is now less than a month before election day and plenty of information can come out about the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I encourage voters to elect Jeannie Schoonover to the Oak Hills school board. Jeannie’s passion for education stems from her deep roots in the Oak Hills schools. She has nearly 30 years of experience as an educator – principal, teacher and counselor. As a counselor at Dulles, she was awarded the prestigious honor of Hamilton County PTA Educator of the Year. She volunteers as a Hamilton County CASA to be a voice for foster children as they navigate the judicial system. Jeannie has six grandchildren in four of the Oak Hills Schools. I know Jeannie will be a voice for parents as we continue the journey of our children’s education through uncertain times of school funding and new education mandates. I know she’ll be a voice for taxpayers to keep costs low but quality of education high. Most of all, I know she’ll be a voice for our children, providing a safe learning environment while surrounding them with the tools and educational programs they need to succeed. I know this because long before I was an Oak Hills graduate, television reporter, taxpayer, PTA volunteer and parent, Jeannie Schoonover was my first teacher. Only I called her mom.

I want to make sure I understand the issues in the election before casting my vote.” M.S. “I think early voting creates more potential for voter fraud especially when you have the likes of ACORN and other subversive organizations that are trying to infiltrate and destroy our country (oh wait, those are Democrats). The old system provided adequate options to insure that people had a chance to vote. I am sure that early voting cost more taxpayer dollars that we obviously cannot afford in our current condition of Federal, state and county government budget deficits. Eliminate the waste – make people be more responsible.” N.W.S. “It’s good, because people have the opportunity to fit it into their schedule so there is no excuse to not vote! I sent my absentee ballot in today.” C.A.S. “Last time I looked we had an election day, not an election week or an election month. There is too much opportunity for fraud (it’s already happened) with all the absentee ballots. I plan on voting at the polls on election day.” W.H.

Delhi-Price Hill Press

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

philosophy is represented well in our first recipe.

Aunt Ruth’s apple cake

You have to try this. From friend and awesome singer Linda Dollenmeyer. Here’s her story: “My Aunt Ruth in North Carolina is one of the best cooks I have ever known. In her 80s she lives alone, is active in her church and sings with a group that visits nursing homes. “Going to her house was, and is, like going to the best bed and breakfast. This cake recipe is to die for. She makes it for my cousin Randy to take to work. His co-workers always want to know when he is bringing it again.” By the way, when a recipe says to “cream” you want to beat it really well and it will start to look a bit creamy. This cake reminds me of one my sister, Judy Nader, an Eastern Hills Journal reader, used to make for our Mom during apple season. Everyone looked forward to it!

Cream together:

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

oil

Add:

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

Sift together:

3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt

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

Icing – Yum!! Cream together:

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

Melt on low heat and bring to a boil.

Add:

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

Preserving herbs the ‘green’ way

I’ve had a few requests for how to dry herbs the old-fashioned way, now touted as being the “green”

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

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

Traditional bunching of whole plant:

Had a great time at: • Macy’s Top Chef party benefiting the FreeStore Foodbank • Turner Farms with Findlay Market’s Lunch on the Land • Keynoting at Bethesda North’s Healthy “U” University • More’s Specialty Plants in Williamsburg • Granny’s Garden open house • Channel 19 cooking up chicken gumbo soup • McNicholas Moms & Daughters brunch

Most herbs dry nicely by these traditional methods. Strip an inch or so from the bottom of the stem and hang upside down secured with a rubber band or string away from heat, light and moisture (or hang upside down in paper bag). You can also place the leaves in single layers in a basket, on a cloth or screen. When they crinkle between your fingers, they’re dry. Strip leaves from stems and leave whole if possible. Volatile oils stay intact until you crush them for cooking. Store away from heat and light. To use dry herbs in place of fresh, use l/3 of the amount called for, since dry herbs are stronger.

Mercy cleans cars in breast cancer battle

PROVIDED.

Fifty-seven cars were cleaned during the Cleans for a Cure Caravan at Mercy Hospital Western Hills recently.

The Cleans for a Cure Caravan recently visited Mercy Hospital Western Hills to offer area residents to chance to contribute toward the battle against breast cancer while also having their car steam cleaned. The event was sponsored by Mercy, Stanley Steemer and Warm 98. A total of 57 cars were cleaned during the threehour event at the hospital campus. Participants paid $30 to have their vehicle’s interior steam cleaned by Stanley Steemer. All proceeds from the event go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Warm 98 had a live remote and Mercy provided information on breast cancer, digital mammography, and the wide range of other imaging services provided at Mercy Hospital Western Hills. There were also prizes for the par-

ticipants, including the grand prize of a 32” inch TV. “This was a great opportunity for us to connect with the community and increase awareness about breast cancer,” said Patrick Kowalski, president/CEO of Mercy Hospital Western Hills. “We are proud to host this event and we are proud to offer digital mammography at our hospital. It is clearly proven to be the most effective technology available in the early detection of breast cancer.” The Cleans for the Cure Caravan has been visiting all of the Mercy locations in Greater Cincinnati that provide digital mammography, which includes all five Mercy hospitals and the Mercy imaging centers in Milford and Liberty Township. The next event will be at Mercy Hospital Anderson on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

Library celebrating Teen Read Week Patrick Jones, author of “Cheated,” “Nailed,” “Chasing Tail Lights” and “Things Change,” will encourage teens to Read Beyond Reality at their Public Library during Teen Read Week to take place Oct. 18-24. He will be visiting with students on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 22 and 23, at the Bond Hill, Mount Washington, Green Township, Covedale, Oakley and Cheviot branch libraries to discuss his writing career and his books. Jones will hold a book signing after the program and books will be available for purchase. Registration is recommended. Please call the Library branch to register. Teen Read Week is the national adolescent literacy initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest-growing division of the American Library Association. This year’s theme encourages teens to read a wide variety of materials that are out of this world, just “for the fun of it.” A former librarian for teenagers, Patrick Jones now concentrates on writing fiction for teens.

Fill Your Life With Good Memories... Someone once said that memory is the diary that we all must carry about with us. During our lifetime we write into this diary many pleasant memories and many unpleasant memories, too. All people have long memories. Some cherish grudges for a lifetime. They remember all the frustrations and sorrows which are part of everyday life. Their lives are bitter and cynical; one of recrimination and remorse. Yet others treat memories as priceless treasures to be written into their diaries. They remember the vivid pictures of beauties appreciated, heart-warming reminiscences of friends known, tender thoughts of family mingled with gratitude for their understanding through the years; the satisfaction of recalling work well done. They remember with gratitude a favor done in an hour of need... What kind of memories are you writing into your diary today? Marilyn Holt

Participants are invited back to the Mount for a cook-out to wrap-up the day’s events at 1 p.m. This is the Mount’s second year hosting the event, which was the brainchild of Michael Heckmann, a junior who is a member of the Service Learning Advisory Committee. Sophomore Bridget Kent, another member of the Committee, serves as the co-chair of the project. The Committee selected a new slogan for this year’s event:

Live Boldly, Serve Boldly, Love Boldly. “Our goal for this year is to present a more united front and impact the city of Cincinnati in an even bigger way than last year,” said Heckmann. “We had 100 volunteers last year, and we are already looking to surpass that number this year. Everyone is invited to join us for this event, that takes place on the nationally celebrated ‘Make A Difference Day.’” For more information about the event or to learn how your school can become involved, contact Sister Mary Bookser, Ph.D., coordinator of service learning, at 513-244-4634, or e-mail mary_bookser@mail.msj.edu.

Travel & Resort Directory

Bed & Breakfast

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

several books including “Nuclear Weapons,” “The Road to Peace” and “The Spirit of the Marshall Plan.” His articles have appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the San Diego Union-Tribune, Diplomatic Traffic and the History News Network. Michael and Jeff Morris, of Cleves and Delhi Township, authors of “Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio.” Brothers and Cincinnati natives Michael and Jeff hope their book “Haunted Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio” will bring some lesser-known ghost stories to light, and even educate Cincinnatians about ghosts that may roam in their own backyard. Michael lives in Cleves and Jeff lives in Delhi

(demos), and music (as well as the chance to hear their favorite authors speak about Wild their works) in the adjoining meeting rooms. Families can enjoy activities including visits with costumed storybook characters, children’s author readings, music, and fun crafts in the Target Kids’ Corner. For more, go to www.booksbythebanks.org /. West-side authors who are slated to appear are: William Lambers, of Delhi Township, author of “Ending World Hunger.” Lambers is the author of

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.
