Delhi teen rescues duck at Clearview By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
It would be the perfect feathered symbol for an anti-litter campaign – if they catch him or her again. One of the ducks at Clearview Lake in Delhi Township Park recently became entangled in a piece of orange plastic, getting it stuck on its head. Parks and recreation director Sandy Monahan said it appeared to be the type of plastic used on soft drink and energy drink bottles. “It looked like it had tried to get the plastic off but it was wedged around its head and mouth and it was unable to eat or drink,” she said. Many park patrons tried unsuccessfully to corral the duck for days. The SPCA was called in to assist but were unable to catch the duck. Thanks to 13-year-old Jake Maiden and a couple who live at the park entrance by the lake,

Maiden refused to give up. Donald and Eileen Brunner said they could see the teen from their back windows trying to catch the duck. “He would almost tip-toe around the ducks at the edge of the lake and try to keep them from scattering,” Mrs.
Brunner said. “He was trying to get them used to him and it was amazing to see.” Finally, the teen was able to convince the duck to surrender. “He came to our door with the duck in his arms and asked if we could help cut off the plastic ring,” Mr. Brunner said.
“The duck was so calm in his arms,” his wife added. Mrs. Brunner quickly retrieved a pair of scissors and snipped off the plastic. Maiden said he immediately tried to get the now weakened duck to eat and drink. The Rapid Run Middle School seventh-grader shrugs off the praise and is just happy the duck is alive and well. Maiden said he spends a lot of time at the Delhi park and loves all creatures big and small, feathered and furry. “I knew somebody had to do something,” he said. “He’s our hero,” Mrs. Brunner said. Monahan said she wishes more teens like Maiden would get as involved. “He’s here almost every day and calls me if he sees something that needs attention,” Monahan said. “This incident is also a lesson for everyone about not littering at the park.”

Play comes to Dunham By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Mark Lutwak said the arts are more enriching for children when experienced with their parents and siblings. He is helping families experience live theater together by bringing it to them. Lutwak is the education director at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and he’s spearheaded the Off the Hill program, which is bringing one of the Playhouse’s productions to 13 community centers across the region. On the west side, the Playhouse’s production of “New Kid” will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, at the Dunham Arts Building, 1945 Dunham Way. “The Playhouse is thrilled to be partnering with community art centers in order to bring professional live theater directly into neighborhoods across the region,” he said.
“This is a play that will leave families with a lot to talk about.” He said the play tells the story of student named Nick and his parents from the country of Homeland. They have just moved to America, which is a strange new place where Nick doesn’t speak the language and struggles to find his bearings and make new friends. Lutwak, who is directing the production, said the play challenges the audience to question bullying and prejudice, and to welcome new perspectives. “It’s a very clever play,” he said. When children and their parents interact with live theater together, he said he thinks the experience becomes much richer for both. He said the Playhouse plans to bring live theater to community centers in the winter and spring as well. “You don’t have to go downtown for art,” he said.
Taylor Hensley started the Concentrate on the Finish Line benefit race when she was an eighthgrader at St. William School. It’s four years later and she’s still committed to raising money in honor of an Elder High School junior who died from cancer when he was 17 years old. “It would be great if we could raise a lot of money this year,” she said. Hensley, now a junior at Seton High School, is once again organizing a 5K run/walk as a token of appreciation for Linda Geil, her former art teacher at St. William School. The race begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at St. William. “The race is in honor of Mrs. Geil’s son, Andy. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 17,” Hensley said. “She is such a wonderful teacher, and her willingness to always help people when they are in need inspired me to do this race.” All the proceeds from the fourth annual Concentrate on the Finish Line 5K run/walk benefit
the Andy Geil Memorial Scholarship Fund, she said. The scholarship provides financial assistance to students attending St. William School and Elder and Seton high schools. Hensley said she decided to organize the event four summers ago after talking with her mother about how much Mrs. Geil means to St. William School and parish. And the fundraiser is a 5K race because Andy Geil was on the track team at Elder, she said. Hensley said the event has raised about $10,000 for the scholarship fund during the past three years, and she’s hoping to attract more participants and raise even more money this year. The cost to participate is $15 for students and $20 for adults who register by Saturday, Nov. 7. The fee includes a T-shirt and refreshments after the race. Registration the day of the event begins at 8 a.m. and costs $25 per person. For more information about the race, and to learn how to register, visit www.andygeil.org. Gift cards to local businesses will be raffled off after the race and prizes will be awarded to the top finishers.

Elder walk raises money for others By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

The Dungeons of Delhi remain open through Halloween night. The ghostly good times are 7 p.m.-11 p.m. and the admission is $6 per person with a $1 discount for canned food donations.

Those who saw the purple wave making its way through west-side neighborhoods should know the Elder High School students weren’t cutting class. Elder’s entire student body walked through Price Hill, Westwood, Cheviot and Bridgetown for a good cause Monday, Oct. 12. The students were taking part in the 36th annual Elder Walk for Others. “It’s a tradition at Elder,” said Trina Schapker, the school’s annual fund director who helps organize the walk. “The students have been participating in the walk since 1973. They used to walk 20 miles, but now it’s a 12-mile course.” Schapker said students solicit donations from their families, friends and neighbors for the walk and all the money raised benefits those in need. “Seventy-five percent of the proceeds goes toward tuition assistance at Elder and 25 percent goes to the different charities we support throughout the year,” she said. “This year teachers really stressed to the students the importance of where the money goes because of the

She said some of the charities the walk supports include Miracle League Adapted Baseball, Price Hill Will, The Women’s Connection, Project El-Moe, Our Daily Bread, Tender Mercies and Santa Maria Community Services. “Elder is a school that is steeped in tradition and community support,” Schapker said. “The students and faculty realize that if everyone joins together we can do a lot to help. It goes back to the giving spirit of Elder.”

it’s also important to remember why they do it. “Raising the money means a lot to me and my friends,” he said. “I think it’s great we’re able to take a day and do something like this.” Schapker said this year’s walk raised more than $66,000, which exceeded the goal Elder set for themselves. She said students can earn a variety of prizes, such as out of uniform days or free lunch for a week, based on the amount of money they raise. And since the students met their

Thrift shop paying dividends to schools By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
JENNIE KEY/STAFF
Prisicillia Simpson, a partner in Treasures Thrift Store, color sorts merchandise in the shop at 6962 Harrison Ave.
Dentists accept candy for troops Larry Hagen and several other area dentists are preparing to participate in the third annual Halloween candy buy-back, in which trick-or-treaters of all ages can earn $1 per pound for donating their unwanted candy. The candy will be shipped to military men and women overseas. Dental practices across the city will collect candy on Monday, Nov. 2, from 3 to 7 p.m. The candy will be shipped and distributed to troops with the support of local community groups, such as Clermont Yellow Ribbon and Operation: Thank You. Hagen began this event in 2007, sending candy to the 2nd Battalion of the U.S. Marine Corps, of which his stepson, Lance Cpl. Matt Kurtz, is a member. Kurtz was stationed in Iraq on his second tour of duty. Kurtz has since completed his military service, but Hagen decided to continue the campaign. “My wife, Jenny, used to send a care package to Matt each week, but he said there were some soldiers who never received anything from home. We thought this was a good way to change that,” Hagen said. “We want the people who are serving on our behalf to know that they are all appreciated. We hope a treat from home can bright-
en their day or lift their spirits.” Since 2007, 12,000 pounds of candy have been shipped to members of the military. The goal for this year is to collect 24,000 pounds of candy and to ship packages to members of every branch of service. “We all know that’s too much candy for our children and our young people to be consuming in the weeks after Halloween. We hope that when we send a batch overseas, that a unit will share it, and what would have gone to one child might go to 30 or 40 servicemen and women,” Hagen said. Individuals may also donate funds to assist the dentists in offsetting the costs of shipping to service men and women. Each box costs approximately $12 to ship. Individuals may also donate personal dental hygiene items, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss, to include in the packages. This year, the dentists are also working to include tips for proper oral health to distribute to both the children who bring their candy to the offices as well as to the troops who will receive the goodies. To contribute the name and address of a military service member who would like to receive a shipment of
The shop is the brainstorm of a group of friends, which includes Jonathan
Fisher, Colerain High School class of 2000. “It’s a great way to sup-
designed to give to academics,” Simpson said. The store has name brands and is spacious, clean with good lighting. It has some furniture, knickknacks and lots of clothes from child through adult sizes. Fisher says the group has plans to expand locations and beneficiaries and is currently scouting a location on the east side of town. Treasurers is open seven days a week Donations can be dropped off at Treasures Thrift Store, 6962 Harrison Ave. at the old Glass House. Treasures Thrift is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The shop accepts donations whenever it’s open. For information, call Treasures at 238-2650.

Veterans Day parade comes to Cheviot By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Bill Gettler said he’s been involved with Veterans Day parades since 1993 and every year they seem to get better, especially the growing crowds of civilians who line the streets. “What better way to show your thanks than being at a veterans parade,” he said. “When you see children along the parade route holding ‘Thank You’ signs, and then look into the eyes of the veterans, you can see it really means a lot to them.” Gettler, a Cheviot native who served in the U.S. Navy from 1967-1971, is the chairman of the Veterans Day Parade put on by the Veterans Day Committee of Hamilton County. This year’s parade honoring the men and women who have served our country begins promptly at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in Cheviot. The 20th annual parade
follows the reverse route of the Harvest Home Parade – it begins at North Bend Road and Woodbine Avenue, turns west onto Harrison Avenue and ends at Cheviot City Hall. “This is the only parade for the veterans in Hamilton County on that Sunday,” Gettler said. “I’d like to see people lining the streets.” He said the patriotic parade honors the veterans of all wars, and a memorial service complete with a 21gun salute will be held at city hall after the parade. He said there are 35 units in this year’s parade, which will include several local V.F.W. posts, American Legion posts, color guards and floats. The Cincinnati Warbirds are scheduled to perform a fly-over and the parade will feature the USS Cincinnati submarine on one of the floats and a fleet of Vietnam-era military vehicles known as the Steel Soldiers. Marching bands from
Oak Hills and Northwest high schools and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Pipes & Drum Corps and the Cincinnati Tradition Drum and Bugle Corps will provide the patriotic music for the day, he said. Antique and classic cars will be on display nearby as well. Gettler said a committee of people work hard throughout the year to put on a deserving tribute to our military veterans. “I just enjoy bringing the vets together and showing them we do honor them for what they’ve done,” he said. “It’s a way that I can say, ‘Thank You,’ for all the sacrifices the veterans made in keeping this country free. While working and talking to the veterans from all the wars there is so much history that we can learn from first-hand, you can’t get this type of lesson from a book.” Any veteran who wants to participate in the parade can call Gettler at 7383844.

‘Earth mother’ Peruvian crafts on sale at Mount
Deep in the altiplano (high plateau) area of South America, a group of Peruvian women formed a cooperative called Artesania Pachamama (Earth Mother) with the assistance of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. The crafters create handknitted alpaca wool and pima cotton sweaters of many designs. The knitters live in Manazo, Puno, one of the poorest areas in Peru.
The money they earn from the sale of their items enables the women to help support their families and carry on the work of the cooperative. Their children by their side, the women of Artesania Pachamama knit gloves, hats and purses as well as sweaters. This year volunteers will offer a variety of Peruvian handmade items in Regina
Hall at the Sisters of Charity Motherhouse, 5900 Delhi Road, from noon-5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.

and with many talented artists for over 30 years in Cincinnati, both in commercial and non-profit exhibition venues,” Harrington said. “Artists are the great observers of our world and through their curiosity and artistic capabilities they provide insights into the complexities of our daily experiences. In an increasingly fast-paced world where we are bombarded daily with electronic communication and visual overload, they ask us to slow down, thoughtfully contemplate their artwork and consider how it relates to our own experiences.” Tristate art teachers were invited to submit two artworks each in any media that were recently produced in their classes and were representative of the quality of their art programs. This exhibition, highlighting these artworks, is a continuing commitment by its sponsors to recognize and support the artistic endeavors of young people in our community, and to salute the excellent art teachers and art programs in area schools. Student-artists will represent more than 50 regional
high schools participating in Selections ’09. Area schools expected to be represented are: Colerain High School Elder High School Finneytown High School La Salle High School McAuley High School Mother of Mercy High School Mount Healthy High School Northwest Senior High School Oak Hills High School; Roger Bacon High School Seton High School St. Xavier High School Taylor High School Winton Woods High School The Studio San Giuseppe is a non-profit art gallery located in the Dorothy Meyer Ziv Art Building on the campus of the College of Mount St. Joseph.

Facing highly ranked foes has been the norm for the Highlanders during the final three weeks of the 2009 season. Oak Hills fell to 3-6 with its week-nine loss to No. 7 Lakota West, 34-17. Lakota West improved to 8-1 with the win. No. 6 Colerain now looms on the Highlanders’ schedule following the week-nine loss to Lakota West and a week-eight loss to No. 3 Middletown, 40-0. All rankings stem from the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week eight. Against Lakota West in week nine, the Firebirds out-gained the Highlanders by a 324-178 yard margin. Oak Hills’ quarterback Steve Gebing rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. He was 9-of-21 passing for 60 yards. Thomas Konkoly added

St. Ignatius’ David Joseph is brought down by St. Xavier’s Patrick Guetle, left, and Will Carroll, right, during the fourth quarter of the game.
The Lancers hit the road for its season finale against Walsh Jesuit in week 10 at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30. La Salle extended its losing streak to four games with a week-nine loss to Columbus St. Francis DeSales, 21-13. The Lancers fell to 4-5 with the loss. La Salle stood at 4-1 before starting its losing streak. La Salle was winning the game by a 7-0 margin at halftime after keeping DeSales off the board in the first half. However, DeSales outscored the Lancers by a 216 margin in the second half as La Salle suffered an eight-point loss, 21-13. Junior wide receiver Matt Woeste led the way for La Salle in week nine with 88 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Woeste touchdown was a 66-yard pass from Zach Abbatiello.
St. Xavier came up short against the top-ranked team in Division I as the Bombers fell 30-21 to St. Ignatius. St. Xavier rallied in the second half, scoring 14 points, but the defense failed to make a stop late to get the ball back. The Bombers offense struggled at many points during the game and turned the ball over four times. St. Xavier did gain 324 yards of offense, led by 72 rushing yards from Conor Hundley and 98 receiving yards by Jeff Kraemer, but the turnovers doomed the Bombers. St. X cut the Ignatius lead to 23-21 with a little more than four minutes left in the game but St. Ignatius iced the game with a 56yard touchdown run at the end of the game. Will Carroll and Nigel Muhammad had touchdown runs and Jeff Kraemer had one touchdown reception. St. Xavier plays undefeated Moeller (9-0) on Oct. 31 at Nippert Stadium for the GCL championship. Moeller just defeated St. Edward’s 40-10. St. Xavier defeated Ed’s 3-2 earlier in the season. “It will be one heck of a game,” Moeller head coach John Rodenberg said. “A city championship will be on the line so we’ll throw the gloves off and slug at each other.”

At the district tournament, which was held at Weatherwax on Oct. 14, St. Xavier shot a 318 to defeat Moeller (321) and Centerville (327). Stelljes finished second
overall with a 75, while Brinker finished tied for third with a 77. Rohde tied for 21st with an 82 and Estes tied for 36th with an 84. Although the Bombers did not win state, they are still pleased with what they accomplished this season. “We’re celebrating where we are as a team and how far we’ve come the last few weeks,” Shircliff said. Still, it was the Bombers’ sixth straight year at state, and they have procured four top-four finishes during that span, including a state championship in 2008. (if they finish in the top four this year, the “four” needs to be “five). “It’s a testimony to our guys who decide they’ll work hard and push each other to be the best,” Shircliff said. “To see the guys grow together has been a huge privilege for me.” St. X will look to make it seven straight in 2010, when they return two of their top golfers, Brinker and Rohde. “It was nice to have an all-senior crew last year, and that was a special team,” Shircliff said. “This year has been incredible, and I can’t be happier with where we are.”

With the win the Saints improve to 12-2 overall and with the loss Berea falls to 2-8-2.

bigger and bigger, and there are typically about 500 people who walk through it each night, he said. He starts thinking about the concept for the production and drawing plans in September, he said. He utilizes everything from costumed actors and strobe lights to fog effects and animatronics to scare people. This year the cast includes about 15 people. “I wouldn’t recommend anyone younger than 10 years old go through it,” Thierauf said, admitting he does keep the haunted house child-friendly while it’s still daylight. Spending roughly 20 hours a week building rooms and getting the haunted house together has forced him to enlist the help of his neighbor Erik Schloss, an Oak Hills High School senior, and Matt Glass, who is engaged to Thierauf’s mother, Kimmie. Glass said it’s been neat to lend a hand and watch Ryan work hard to make the haunted house bigger and better each year. “This is our Christmas,” Glass said.

Cleves police step up drug fight

Success leads to success. Just ask Cleves Police Chief Bill Renner. Once the department had a few arrests in its fight against drug abuse and trafficking, tips started rolling in. The department launched a crackdown following a spike in heroin overdoses in the community. “We had six – two that could have been fatalities,” Renner said. “They were DOA, but they were resuscitated.

Cliff Wright and a team of four or five officers committed to take this on,” Renner said. “We only have four full-time officers but some of our part-timers stepped up. We had some Saturday training sessions and then started working on it.” Since then, the village department has made 73 drug-related arrests. And it’s

not just heroin that’s a problem: prescription drugs, crack cocaine, marijuana, were all part of the crackdown. “We took what they had and we took them down for everything we could,” Renner said. “Every community in this county has a drug problem,” he added. “And even with all the agencies we have working on it – RENU, the DEA, vice, DART – there are still not enough of us.” The department also seized five vehicles, one a 2009 Lexus from a “dealer” who tried to sell powdered sugar to undercover officers, telling them it was heroin. Renner says the vehicles will be auctioned and the proceeds will help replenish the department’s drug fund. “We can buy some badly needed equipment,” Renner said. He commended Hickey with the Life Saving Award and Officer Matt Pies and Wright were also commended. “I think we actually made a dent in the problem,” Renner said. “And, hopefully, instilled a sense of confidence in our citizens because of our results.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Clearview fountain
After I read the recent article that said Sandy Monahan hired someone to chase geese at Clearview Lake, I began to wonder about the cost of other things at Clearview. I was shocked to find that the fountain in the lake cost more than $9,000. There are fountains available at one-third that price and the township records I reviewed showed that $3,000 was the amount originally approved for a fountain. Months after the original amount was approved, trustee Jerry Luebbers signed a second purchase order allowing the cost to be more than $9,000. Trustee Luebbers has said that the township needs to watch expenses and stretch the levy dollars further. I understand that the park has an expense account for the year, but do we really need to spend it all? Sounds like someone who says one thing and does something else. Kathy Boeh Greenwell Road Delhi Township
Rhodes great dad
Please vote for Kevin Rhodes, he prefers I call him dad. I can’t promise he will be as great of a Delhi trustee as he is a father, but he will give it his best. Dustin M. Rhodes Gwendolyn Ridge Delhi Township
Right to Life endorsement
One of the many reasons that Delhi Township is such a good place to live is the fact that we have honorable people in charge of our local government, including our trustees, Mike Davis and Jerry Luebbers. And I am happy to report that both are again endorsed for reelection by Cincinnati Right to Life political action committee because of their strong positions of respect for all human life, including that of the unborn. I will vote for Davis and Luebbers on Nov. 3. Joan Loebker Pineknot Drive Delhi Township
Comments on letters
There were some interesting comments and views in the Oct. 21 Press. (Jack) Backs obviously thinks Mike Davis will be a contender to be re-elected and Mary Brigham has a good showing. He apparently disapproves. Kevin Rhodes is the same old Kevin. Bill Keenan had a refreshing suggestion that you vote for the right candidate for the right reasons and not a candidate for someone else’s wrong reasons. I could not agree more. Norm Wegman Carefree Court Delhi Township
Truth about Issue 9
While there are many opinions, for and against, regarding a streetcar in Cincinnati, Issue 9 is not about streetcars, it’s about passenger rail development. Here are some facts: The people behind this ballot issue say this is about the streetcar - but that’s not the truth. The petition was written to deceive. If this ballot issue passes, no passenger rail development of any type could occur in Cincinnati without a public vote. This proposal will cost Cincinnati jobs and economic develop-

Issue No. 9 will prevent Cincinnati from connecting to the proposed Ohio high speed rail line, as well as the larger Midwest hub. Cincinnati will become an island, isolated and cutoff from the rest of the state and region. We don’t want California-style government in Cincinnati. If this issue passes, Cincinnati will have an endless stream of referendums and initiatives, funded by special interests that want to work outside the legislative system to get their measures passed. Newspapers, elected leaders, leading civic, business, labor and community groups oppose this ballot issue and encourage city residents to vote no. Bill Burwinkel Mount Hope Avenue Price Hill
Rhodes is puppet
Kevin Rhodes and his buddies have repeatedly attacked trustee candidate Mary Brigham for being a mere “puppet” and “rubber stamp” for Al Duebber. Being a puppet is an area Kevin has a lot of experience in; he is a political puppet for his father and is used as a hatchet man to slash at political enemies and to hack at decent and honorable people whose only “crime” is trying to contribute something positive to our community. With all due respect to Penny Dieck, who in her recent letter praised Kevin as being what we need in Delhi Township, she is an employee of Kevin’s father and hardly offers any meaningful insight into Kevin’s true character or his ability to inspire others in leadership. Steve Bartholomew Woodvalley Lane Delhi Township
More chauvinism
There he goes again with this stupid chauvinism that concludes a woman can do nothing without guidance and direction from a man. Twice now Jack Backs has attacked Mary Brigham first calling her a “rubber stamp” for Al Duebber and now a “puppet”. Backs has never met Mary Brigham and by his comments shows that he has never attended a board meeting, a community meeting or a staff meeting over which she has presided. If he had, he would see an independent and competent woman who can work collaboratively with others - even with the men who Backs thinks pulls her strings. Nonsense. All the trustees of this township are men. The finan-
cial officer and law director are men. Police chief, fire chief, lieutenants, captains, corporals, development director, zoning administrator, public works director – all men. It’s time for a woman to be back on the board of trustees and Mary Brigham can serve with the same competence and leadership as any man. Barb Kenny Bonaventure Court Delhi Township
No faith
I have not had much faith in the current board of Delhi trustees. Now I have none. These trustees have misused their office as public officials and damaged any trust the residents had by doing public business behind closed doors. What else are Davis and Duebber hiding? Jim Hensley Mayhew Avenue Delhi Township
Klug, Davis for trustee
This year’s Delhi trustee race is a full one with six candidates running. I think that all the candidates have good intentions. However, while watching the Candidates’ Night on cable, it was clear that there are two candidates that showed experience, passion and an energy to serve the citizens of Delhi. The two apparent choices to me were Marijane Klug and Mike Davis. Klug has 22 years of municipal experience and serves as the chief financial officer of the city’s park board. Davis has served as trustee for over six years and will continue to bring his experience as a trustee to get the job done for Delhi. They both have a passion and energy to serve the citizens in Delhi by doing what is in the best interest of the citizens. Watch the Candidates’ Night on cable and you will see that the other candidates running in this year’s race didn’t express that same passion and energy to get the job done. Klug and Davis are both respected and experienced. These two working together would be just what this township has needed for a long time. Please vote for Marijane Klug and Mike Davis Nov. 3. John Owens Bonita Drive Delhi Township
Voice of Delhi
Thanks to Kevin Rhodes for exposing trustee Davis’ e-mail postponing the McDonald’s deal on Delhi Pike until after the election. This is exactly the kind of cynical politics that turns people off. I wonder what other surprises may be planned for after the election. I wasn’t sure about Kevin before, but this seals the deal for me. Delhi needs Kevin Rhodes as trustee. I like Kevin, the voice of Delhi. Billie Hicks Covedale Avenue Delhi Township
Vote for Luebbers
After attending the Delhi Civic Association Candidates’ Night recently, there is no doubt in our minds about which candidate we are supporting. Jerry Luebbers is dedicated, hard working and experienced. He is realistic and perceptive about how to use taxpayers’ money wisely, to best advantage. His constituents are foremost in
his mind always. We need his expertise and financial “watchdog” approach now more than ever. Tom Doyle Juvene Way Delhi Township
Reading e-mails?
Did I read the story in the Press last week correctly? Now Kevin Rhodes is doing records requests and reading other people’s e-mails? What’s next? Is he going to try and read all of the residents’ e-mails if he gets elected in order to try and dig up some dirt on people? Well, I don’t want my e-mails being read by him and will not be voting for Rhodes. This stuff really gets old after a while Mr. Rhodes! Sadie Johnson Foley Road Delhi Township
Thanks to Rhodes
Thanks to Kevin Rhodes for exposing the attempt to delay a vote on the Delhi Pike project and McDonald’s giveaway by the township. Here’s my prediction: Now that everyone knows what’s going on, look for flip-flopping Mike Davis to put it on the agenda at this week’s (Oct. 28) trustee meeting. Ronald Tumbleson St. Dominic Drive Delhi Township
IQ test
In 1778, the citizens of Franklin, Mass., asked Ben Franklin to donate money for a bell to be installed in a church steeple in the village they had named in his honor. But with the reasoning of “sense being preferable to sound,” Franklin instead sent a crate packed with books. So began one of America’s first public libraries. The upcoming elections may be loud and nasty, filled with unseemly sounds, but we must not lose sight of the fact that our public library is a priceless asset, one that no resident with a working mind and a sense of curiosity can do without. As a taxpaying homeowner, parent and lifelong learner, I am optimistic that everyone who goes into a voting booth in Hamilton County on Nov. 3 will have the good sense to vote for Issue 7 and save our library. Think of it as an IQ test for our community. Rob Fetters Twain Avenue Sayler Park
Brigham plan
At the Delhi Civic Association Candidates’ Night, the six trustee candidates were asked about the problems facing Delhi Township. The No. 1 challenge facing our community does not involve a dying business district or declining neighborhoods. We are not the victims of rampant crime. We do not lack good schools or citizens who don’t get involved. I believe that the biggest challenge is to acknowledge what lies ahead with declining township revenues and to change our course by developing a strategic plan for our future. We must create a strategic line between what we want and what we need. We might want a new park lodge. What we need is a new firehouse. We might want to purchase more property for our parks. What we need is to not lay off police officers or firefighters.

We might want to avoid returning to our neighbors for more tax dollars. What we need is to prioritize spending choices now so that additional tax requests are not needed. What we need is a team of trustees with the ability to work together to better face these challenges. Delhi has many qualified and dedicated department heads and staff and we should empower them to use their talents and do their jobs. We should let our township administrator lead the staff without threat of dismissal. Township trustees should be on the same page with large projects, rather than disagreeing over which components of a plan were communicated. If there is a budget with a plan – before – spending is approved, citizens and trustees would share knowledge rather than spend their time questioning decisions. Community groups like the Delhi Business Association and the Delhi Civic Association should feel like partners with valued input to an overall strategic plan and not like outsiders to our shared challenges. To create a strategic plan for Delhi Township, it will take trustees who are willing to work together and to give up their personal agendas to collaborate for the good of the township. Our community is counting on a board of trustees with a strong desire to cooperate with each other and to forge a new path with a real sense of focused purpose and leadership for our future. Citizens of Delhi need to feel inspired and to be confident that the right people are on the Delhi Township Board of Trustees to meet our challenges. Mary Brigham Delhi Township trustee candidate Foxcreek Lane Delhi Township
Vote Davis
A quick endorsement for Mike Davis. I met Mike several years ago at a benefit for Taylor High School and have been impressed with his professionalism and accomplishments over the last several years. He cares for residents and has helped to put Delhi back on the map as a friendly, safe and good place to raise a family. He works hard and gets the job done. On a side note, the thoroughfare plan on Delhi Pike is a good thing and goes a long way in attracting new businesses. I agree with him; if you do nothing, then nothing will get done. You have to support your local businesses and keep Delhi Pike looking nice. Delhi Pike will look great when this project is finished and from such a small investment. McDonald’s is going to build a new $2 million restaurant and you received a $1.7 million grant from the state of Ohio for some work on the pike. That will be $3.7 million invested over the next 24 months with Delhi putting up a little over $200,000. Now that is a return on your investment and just smart business. Trustee Davis is professional, honest and the type of leader you want for a thriving community like Delhi Township. Re-elect Mike Davis Nov. 3.

What losing 20 libraries means to community As a result of a 28 percent decline in state revenue, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County faces a $16 million funding shortfall in 2010. Without a steady source of additional funding we face the unimaginable: closure of up to half of our 40 branch libraries. Libraries that remain open will face increased demand for services and severe cuts – reduced staffing, steep reductions in hours, reduced computer availability and fewer new materials. Think about what closing 20 branches will mean to this community. There’s the building itself. It’s in the
heart of your neighborhood, a familiar place. You walk or drive past it often. Your kids go there after school. Imagine it empty. Doors locked. Sold, perhaps even demolished. But a neighborhood branch library is much more than a building. It’s also the people who work there. It’s the children’s librarian who leads preschool story time, introducing a new generation of children to a love of books and reading. It’s the reference librarian who recommends good mystery writers and enthusiastically shares her love of good books with you. That same reference librari-
an helps you find the car repair manual for your notso-new car, a magazine article for a homework assignment or a travel guide for your next trip. And if you can’t travel there in person, the librarian leads you there through books. It’s the smile on the face of the man at the desk as he gives a child his first library card or helps you find a book on the shelf. A branch library is also about the thousands of materials available to Hamilton County residents. Thousands of books, newspapers, CDs, DVDs and other resources available at your fingertips. Free com-
puter and wireless Internet access for job seekers and students. What happens to these resources when a branch library closes? Without the additional funding a local tax levy would provide, our library is faced with making devastating cutbacks. Every single branch will be affected either though closings, reduced hours, staff reductions or other reductions. Our library system will no longer be able provide the needed services to children, families, seniors and adults who have come to depend on us year after year. We have an outstanding
Express our gratitude: Vote yes on Issue 1 for veterans’ bonuses Since World War I, Ohio has given veterans bonuses as a small token of thanks for sacrifices they’ve made for our country. This Nov. 3, Ohioans will have the chance once again to show their gratitude by voting for Issue 1, awarding a cash bonus to Ohio veterans of the wars in the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. I carried this resolution in the Ohio House earlier this year. It passed without opposition in both the House and Senate. Our citizens first approved such a measure in 1921 for veterans of World War I. Since then we’ve enacted bonuses for World War II veterans, Korean War veterans and veterans of the Vietnam War.

Should county local governments sider consolidating ices to save cots? why? If not, why?
and conservIf so
“County and local governments need to consolidate services and think of their services as regional. Cities like Indianapolis and Louisville have made great progress in improving services through consolidation. Our region has too many too small governments duplicating services and all carrying expensive core overhead that could be streamlined so there were more services and less “border based bureaucracy.” S.M. “I think there are numerous opportunities to consolidate services at the county level.

Once a county consolidation plan is in place, then possible expansion to other local governments could be examined.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From page A11
Re-elect Davis
My family and I are longtime residents of Delhi Township and we love it here. As citizens of Delhi, we have always felt it a duty to make responsible decisions that positively affects our family and community. We believe that trustee Mike Davis and Marijane Klug are the right people to lead Delhi into the future. Mike is knowledgeable, experienced and well known throughout Hamilton County for his leadership skills. Our residents are safe. The parks look great especially the new beautiful lake and budgets are closely being watched. Delhi Pike is going to look great because of his support of the thoroughfare plan. Trustee Davis cares about the citizens he serves. I have seen him out and about in many situations such as when this area was devastated by high winds and power outages. Mike believes in being out with the people and seeing what is going on rather than being told. We also like that he shares his musical talents with local charities. Trustee Mike Davis is just a good person and a fine trustee. Mike Davis has earned our support. Please join us on Election Day and re-elect Mike Davis as our trustee. Betty Miller Jewell Delryan Drive Delhi Township
Support Klug, Davis
If any residents of Delhi are not sure who to vote for in the trustee race Nov. 3, then I would recommend watching the Candidates’ Night replays on cable for yourself. I am not familiar with many of the candidates, but after watching the event and hearing all of their plans for the future of our township it became obvious that there were two candidates that stood out above the rest, Marijane Klug and Mike Davis. They both have experience that undoubtedly will benefit the citizen’s of Delhi Township. Marijane Klug brings an impeccable financial experience of balancing budgets and working within local municipal government. Mike Davis brings his experience as trustee and years of loyal dedication to the residents of Delhi. They both seem to have a youthful spirit and an attitude to get the job done for the citizens of Delhi and to provide the best return on the taxpayer’s investments in Delhi. Just watch the Candidates Night that is replaying on local cable and I think you will agree. I’m voting for Klug and Davis and I hope you do the same. Steve Howe Fairdale Court Delhi Township
Keep Davis
It’s amazing to me that of the six candidates running for Delhi trustee, only three are worried about the future of our business district. There three don’t want to spend township money on a county road, but they offer no alternative has to how we can revitalize Delhi Pike. This is a no-brainer. Jerry, we don’t need soccer fields – we need a vital business district. Kevin, what good is a property maintenance code if Delhi Pike dies. You know the old saying: “If you’re in Delhi, you either live there or you’re lost.” We need to change that image. We need to make people want to come to Delhi to shop and play. We need to keep a man like Mike Davis on the board. Joan Baur Allenwood Court Delhi Township
Vote Pollock, Ahlers, Schoonover
As Election Day draws near, I want to take the opportunity to voice support for three individuals for the Oak Hills board of education: Jack Pollock, Rick Ahlers and Jeannie Schoonover. I have been actively involved in the district for more than 20 years and I value the leadership that Jack and Rick have both brought to the board in
recent years. They have made tough decisions in the best interest of all students. Under their direction, the district has expanded programs and increased opportunities for kids, all while maintaining costs. As a business owner and a parent, I feel fortunate that Jack and Rick have worked with their fellow board members to provide a vision for our entire school community. I am confident that Jeannie Schoonover would be an outstanding addition to the team. Her background in education is broad and she is committed to a top-notch educational system. Jeannie’s past experience as a teacher, counselor, principal and, most importantly, as a dedicated Oak Hills supporter, will make her a valuable member of the board of education. I urge you to support Jack Pollock, Rick Ahlers and Jeannie Schoonover on Nov. 3. Doug Ridenour Sunburst Ridge Green Township
Re-elect Pollock
Jack Pollock has been a valuable and key member of the board of education of the Oak Hills Local School District for the past two-plus terms, 60 percent of which Jack was president of the board. During Jack’s time in office, we have seen the school district improve its
programs and attain the highest level of academic achievement that is awarded by the state of Ohio. Our district’s finances have remained sound without excessively going to the tax payers. Jack has also been a champion of helping and cooperating with the private schools in our district to the extent a public school can. We are fortunate that Jack is willing to serve us for another term. We need Jack’s 30 years of personal business and financial management experience, together with his experience throughout the transformation of our educational results. Our children benefit from these results. We all benefit from these results: Any realtor will tell you that a healthy, attractive school system is the single biggest factor in the value and ease of selling a home. Alan Shaffer Taylor Road Green Township
Davis proven
Trustee Davis has proven his leadership during his tenure as Delhi trustee. The parks are now a place to come and play. I love the walking trails, the addition of the lake property, the Floral Gardens, etc. Streets are safer. Why? Trustee Davis championed the curfew allowing police to be more pro-active in dealing with young offenders. Citizens on Patrols
became a reality. He’s a strong advocate of the police and fire departments. I know that there are detractors from the Delhi Pike plan saying we shouldn’t be paying for anything on county roads. Facts are – as trustee Davis has said – the county is broke and if we wait for them to come through nothing will be done and Delhi Pike would further decline. The $1.7 million grant is paying for the majority of the work and the additional $200,000 is coming from tax increment financing funds, not from the general building funds. We need to revitalize the main artery of our community, that is for sure. If we really want to bring new businesses and people to our community, then we must act now. Mike Davis is a proven leader. Michael R. Rosenthal Allenwood Court Delhi Township
Vote for Luebbers
I’ve known Jerry Luebbers since we attended St. Dominic School and Elder High School together. If Jerry Luebbers tells you something, you can bank on it; if he makes a commitment to you, it’s as good as gold. One thing you know, you’ll always get the best he’s got to give.

Are there any saints around anymore? Nov. 1 is the day several Christian churches celebrate the feast of All Saints. “Saint,” a familiar word that’s taken on unfamiliar meanings. Today “saint” can be the name of a football team, a jazz song (”When the Saints Come Marching In”), many cities (St. Louis, St. Petersburg, etc.) or a goody-twoshoes. So we must ask, “What’s a saint?” A cynic might respond, “A saint is someone who lived a long time ago whose life has never been adequately researched.” The implication is that if you looked hard enough into a saint’s life, sooner or later you’d find he or she had clay feet. And a real saint would be the first to admit it. It’s only conventional wisdom that thinks they don’t. People labeled “saint” are put on a pedestal. Later, if any human frailty shows up in their lives, we push them off their pedestal and
bury them beneath the rubble of disappointment and disillusionment. Do this enough times, and we who push them down become cynical. We conclude there are no saints and no one worthy of a moral pedestal or imitation. Time and reflection, however, can clarify things. We understand better now what it means to be a saint. Every ordinary human personality can be depicted as having an inner teeter-totter. Piled on one end are the vices, selfishness, evil tendencies and darkness of that person’s life. Stacked on the other end are the brightness, virtues, love and compassion of which we are capable. The fulcrum, or center point, is the whole (holy) place representing the site of a person’s struggles and choices. Saints – as they live out their lives the best they can – strive to
Today I imagine the saints to especially be among the humble and honest people, those who rise wearily and go off to ordinary and routine labor to support their families. stand on the fulcrum in utter honesty and understanding of themselves. They don’t compare themselves to others. They don’t judge others against the measure of themselves. They just try to relate to others and the world in a way they believe their Maker created them to do. They struggle to know and then to discipline and control their darkness and vices – while they struggle to give expression to the light and love within them with the help of God’s grace. We must hide our dark side from society in general, but we must never try to hide it from
ourselves. While doing good, we must acknowledge to ourselves our own demons as we do battle with them. When we speak of sainthood today, we speak of it in its truest sense as a full-blooded embracing of our own humanity, not a false veneer of pseudo-goodness. Trying to appear better than we are prevents our becoming what we can be. When I was a youth I looked at saints in a very different way. Most of the canonized saints seemed to belong to religious orders, the clergy, or were people who wrought miracles and had followers. Today I imagine the saints to especially be among the humble and honest people, those who rise wearily and go off to ordinary and routine labor to support their families. They sacrifice creature comforts, narcissistic interests, and personal agendas in behalf of larg-
er values. We do not usually accord these common people hero or saint status, bur their acts renew the world each day as a place of Father Lou enduring value. Guntzelman As Dr. James Hollis says, “We Perspectives are all, every day, faced with death, depression and despair. Whoever rises to do what must be done, does a deed for us all.” Of such is the kingdom of heaven. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Beware of the dinosaur hunter scam circulating a lease agreement and an application. That n e v e r happened.

The person claimed to be a Professor Klose who said he’s discovered lots of dinosaurs and will be coming to the U.S. to trade fossils. “We started to get pretty suspicious when he said he was going to send a check for the first month rent, deposit and furniture for the
Clarification I have a clarification on my recent story involving Social Security Disability checks. Deductions from the benefits for food and shelter applies only to Supplemental Security Income disability and not Social Security disability. The difference between the two types of payments relates to those who have worked and contributed to Social Security and those who have not. People who paid into Social Security and then become disabled do not have to worry about their checks being reduced based on someone else helping them with food and housing expenses. They will receive their entire amount of back benefits in one payment. On the other hand, those who did not work or did not pay into Social Security will be eligible only for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and that does reduce checks based on outside housing and food assistance. In addition, it often does pay the back benefits in increments. In all cases when applying for SSI or Social Security Disability be sure to contact an attorney with expertise in this field.
four- to five-bedroom home he wanted to rent,” Fast said. He did send a check for $8,650 – but it was written on an AOL Time Warner bank account which didn’t make any sense. He asked Fast to cash it and send $2,900 to a furniture company for furniture he was renting. His wife and child were supposedly coming with him. “That is why he needed a large home and all that furniture. He kept mentioning a trustee in the U.S. would be in contact with us, and we kept asking for the trustee’s name and information but never got anything,” she said. Fast said she wondered why he didn’t send a check to the furniture company himself instead of asking her to do it. In addition, although he claimed to have been in Italy, the packing slip on the UPS envelope containing his check showed it was shipped from Massachusetts. “He was very strange responding to the e-mails. He didn’t answer questions that we asked him and we would respond with things he asked for and then he asked for the same thing over and over again,” Fast said. “I think in these tough times people are having now, some rentals are difficult to rent out and they get
this information and they just want to rent their house and have some income. So, he’s preying on people,” she said. “When I Googled his name, and supposedly the place he was working for with the fossils, a lot of stuff came up with ‘scammers.’ People are doing it using different names but the same scenario,” Fast said.
The scammer recently sent another e-mail demanding the money and even claimed he would go to the FBI if he didn’t get it. Fast said she hopes this case can serve as a warning to all. If you receive a check from someone you don’t know who wants you to cash it and then send them money – don’t do it. Their check is probably
not good and you’ll have sent your good money to the bad guys. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local 12. You can write to him at Hey Howard, 12 WKRC-TV, 1906 Highland Ave., Cincinnati 45219.

Phony check scams are alive and well these days as scammers continue to try to steal your money. The latest deception preys on people who are trying to rent an apartment or house. Shelly Fast said she came across one such con at the Wilmington real estate office at which she works. She received an e-mail from someone seeking to rent a house. “He started to communicate back and forth with us but it was a strange communication. He didn’t want to come over and look at it, he rented it sight unseen,” she said. All the communications took place via e-mail. “We asked him to fill out

Too many apples? Make fruit leather
The sign was outside of a church on Salem Avenue in Mount Washington: “Friendship multiplies joy a n d divides sorrow.” So true. Friends can be many different people, comRita p l e t e l y Heikenfeld unrelated or someRita’s kitchen one biological. Think of the sibling who wasn’t cool enough to hang with as a kid, or the mom or dad who seemed older than dirt. (I remember one of my kids asking me if electricity was invented when I was young). As you grow, so does your wisdom and over the years, you become the closest of friends.
Apple or pear sauce and fruit rollups/leather
Every year I make batches of apple or pear sauce,
and rollups. No artificial anything added!
Preparation:
Wash, core and cut 3 to 5 pounds fruit into chunks (apples or pears). Leave skin on because the pectin in the peel helps remove cholesterol.
Cooking options:
Crockpot: Spray pot. Put fruit in. Cook on low six to eight hours or high for three to five hours until fruit is soft enough to mash. Stovetop: Place in heavy or nonstick large pot. Add up to 1 cup water, cider or apple juice (to keep fruit from sticking), and simmer until fruit is soft. You may have to add a bit more liquid. Careful - the mixture tends to sputter up. Oven: (my preferred method). I use a restaurant steam table pan but use anything that has sides and which will hold fruit. Spray

To purée:
Run through food mill or sieve, blender or food processor. If desired, sweeten to taste with sugar, Stevia or Splenda. Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to taste. Do this while fruit is still warm.
Drying to make fruit rollups/leather:
Spray cookie sheets. Pour puree evenly onto sheets, about 1⁄4-inch deep. In summer, I’ll dry it in the sun. This time of year it’s the oven. Dry in warm oven. Mine only goes down to 170 degrees so I propped the door open. You don’t want it to cook too quickly or it will be hard.
COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
Fruit leather after drying (you can see my hand through it if you look close). It will take anywhere from four to eight hours or more depending upon the kind of apples, etc. If it’s late in the evening and it’s still not done, turn the oven off with the leather still in, and proceed in the morning.
How to tell if the fruit leather is done:
It should pull up from the pan in one sheet.
Storing:
In refrigerator, up to six months, and up to one year in freezer
Rita’s clone of Bigg’s chicken salad
The deli folks at Bigg’s were so nice, and fun to chat with. They chuckled when I said my readers were begging for the recipe.
Since the recipe is proprietary, I couldn’t wrangle the recipe or all of the ingredients out of them. “It’s your normal chicken salad: mayonnaise, celery, grapes, cashews, etc. The secret ingredients are a pinch of ‘Ahh’ and a tablespoon of love.” After tasting it, I’d say it had a lot of both – yum! Trying to clone this for the home cook when it’s made in huge amounts is challenging. Deli chicken salads often contain chicken base and seasoning salt. I fiddled with it and here’s my best shot. I poach my chicken in broth and let it cool in broth before dicing for added flavor and moistness. Taste as you go, adding 1 rib celery, 1 onion, the lesser amount of seasoning, etc. Add more if needed.

Lane closed, weight limited
One lane of traffic will be closed in each direction on the Waldvogel Viaduct connecting the Sixth Street Expressway to Elberon Avenue and Warsaw Avenue in Price Hill. Access to and from Elberon and Warsaw will be maintained. The weight limit on the Waldvogel Viaduct has also been reduced to 5 ton vehicles. The lane closure and 5 ton weight limit are expected to last approximately two months. A structural deficiency discovered during the latest bridge inspection prompted the cautionary lane reduction and placement of the weight limit. Repairs are being developed to reopen all lanes and restore the viaduct to its previously posted weight limit of 16 tons. Drivers are encouraged to reduce their speed and use caution when approaching the closure area.

Donations for Operation Uplink will be collected through individual store events and on-line at SportClips.com in an effort to reach and exceed this year’s goal of $125,000. Sport Clips is now the VFW’s largest single-donation free call day sponsor.

The donation was also large enough to cover an additional free call day on Memorial Day.

Salvation Army annual doll auction planned for Nov. 10 The Salvation Army Toy Shop Auxiliary’s 53nd annual Charity Doll Auction is 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Kenwood Baptist Church, 8341 Kenwood Road. More than 40 collectible dolls will be auctioned off this year. The auction dolls are one of a kind, all handdressed. Some are adorned with accessories, mostly hand-made by the dresser. There also will be 700 dolls on display, all dressed by area volunteers. The dolls are part of the thousands of toys the Salvation Army distributes to needy children prior to Christmas.
The Salvation Army Toy Shop also will distribute 6,000 quality new books to children, which have been personally selected by auxiliary member and book project chair Audrey Dick of Western Hills. There are three special projects this year. First are 25 handmade quilt packages, which include two doll outfits, booties and a handmade quilt, all made to fit an American Doll-sized doll, each priced at $35 per package. Second are two sets of two tickets for Playhouse in the Park’s “A Christmas
Carol” as well as figurines of Scrooge and Bob Cratchit carrying Tiny Tim. Third, for a donation of $5 to the Salvation Army is a queen-size handmade quilt. The event begins with a group of prize-winning dolls from the auxiliary’s doll dressing program followed by the dressers receiving their ribbons. The live auction concludes the program.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions... Life is one hectic round of decisions - and none is harder than the one you have to make in the split second when the cafeteria line passes the dessert counter!!
Many People have difficulty in making decisions. Some make decisions too quickly and others too slowly. Some people make decisions easily. There are others who appear to do nothing but wring their hands and bite their fingernails when they are confronted with the necessity of making a decision. Every day, each of us makes decisions that determine the direction in which our lives will move. No one, no matter how wise or how highly principled, can make the right decision every time. To err is no disgrace. The disgrace lies in not learning from our mistakes, not recovering from our defeats, not picking ourselves up, brushing ourselves off and trying again.
Rape
Yet many of life’s problems are insoluble. They just have to be lived with. And, yes, the problem of Marilyn Holt making decisions is certainly one of these...

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

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
