Schott estate may be ready for sale in fall By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
Vacant since her death about five years ago, Marge Schott’s estate and former home at 8505 Blome Road is being divided and sold. HPA Development Group, based in Montgomery, is selling the 12,000-square-foot home and dividing the 62-acre property in 5and 10-acre lots to be sold as well. Work continues to get the property ready for sale. While the home – priced at about $3.9 million – has been on the market for about a month, the remaining lots await gas lines and other upgrades before they can be sold. “Our goal is to have all the construction done by the end of summer,” said HPA Development Group co-owner Doug Herald. Herald said he expects the remaining lots to join Schott’s home on the market by fall this year. The home, which has undergone some new landscaping at its entrance and a restored entry, will remain on 10 acres and Herald said there have been no renovations made other than light landscaping and clean-up. With home sellers struggling to

St. Vincent welcomes new principal By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Anderson High School senior Saige Miller is a volunteer at the Stepping Stones Center for children and adults with disabilities.
Involvement makes volunteer’s day bright By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
Anderson High School senior Saige Miller said working with disabled children has left an impression on her. They brighten her day, she said. Miller is a volunteer at the Stepping Stones Center in Indian Hill which serves children and adults with disabilities. Miller, 17, got to know about the center during visits to the spe-
cial needs classroom at Anderson High School during her lunch. “I asked if there was something I could do this summer to help kids with special needs,” she said. Miller participates in a variety of activities with the children at the center. “I can’t stop talking about them once I leave,” she said. Stepping Stones volunteer coordinator Sarah Woeber said the volunteers help support the staff. “All of our volunteers mean a
great deal to us at (the) center,” said Woeber. “We couldn’t run camp without them.” Although Miller has just begun her involvement at Stepping Stones, she said it has had enough of an impact that she might consider a career helping those with disabilities. Miller, who is a resident of Anderson Township, also coaches youngsters in cheerleading and is a member of the National Honor Society.
After several years in public education, principal Douglas Alpiger wanted to return to a faith-based school. Being in an environment with teachers and staff who share the same faith is very rewarding, said Alpiger, who is the new principal at St. Vincent Ferrer School. Alpiger was formerly an instructor and coach at Summit Country Day. In recent years, he was principal at Fourth Street Elementary School in Newport, Ky. Alpiger, 52, said he plans to focus on several areas including quality of instruction, parent and community connections and spiritual growth. “Education is a profession of change,” he said. “All I’m doing is coming to St. Vincent Ferrer School and viewing its programs through a different set of lenses.” St. Vincent Ferrer School has 192 students in kindergarten through grade eight. “(Alpiger) will bring some fresh ideas to our curriculum and to our relationship with the com-

Alpiger is a resident of Hyde Park. He is married and has a daughter.

Students recently came to Cincinnati Country Day School dressed in pajamas and carrying sleeping bags. However, it wasn’t a sleep over. It was part of the Breakthrough Cincinnati academic summer program. Middle school age students were participating in a reading exercise with a bedtime theme. “(Breakthrough Cincinnati) is an academically rigorous program, but we try to make it fun with a camp-like environment,” said Cincinnati Country Day School senior Will Portman,a Terrace Park resident who is one of the student instructors. The program is geared toward
high-potential, low-income middle schools students, said Meghan Morgan, executive director of Breakthrough Cincinnati. Morgan said the majority of the 110 students participating in the program are from the Cincinnati Public Schools. This year’s summer session, which is six weeks, is at Cincinnati Country Day School. A number of students at Cincinnati Country Day School serve as student instructors in the program. “You can see where you are having an impact on their life,” said Mariemont resident and Cincinnati Country Day School senior Jayne Caron about the interaction with the students. Portman agreed. “It has instilled in us an appreciation of education,” he said.

Rugby growing fast in the Tristate By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The thing that separates rugby from other sports is the camaraderie the sport fosters. A rugby player in a new city isn’t alone for very long. “I’ve lived in several different places and when I get to a new city, one of the first things I do is look for a local rugby club because it’s an instant peer group,” said Charles Dainoff, vice president of the Ohio Rugby Union. “You immediately have a group of friends that can ease your transition into a new community. It’s a great sport and a great way to meet people.” Rugby is a sport that’s on the rise in the Tristate as new players
are joining the existing clubs and starting their own. The Ohio Rugby Union is part of USA Rugby and oversees rugby in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. There are 11 rugby clubs in Cincinnati and one in Northern Kentucky. That includes all age groups, from men’s clubs to collegiate teams at Xavier and Cincinnati and several area high school clubs. “Generally speaking, it’s all one big community,” Dainoff said. “We’re already starting to see kids transition from high school rugby to college rugby and it’s a sport you can play for 20 or 30 years if you’re committed to it.” Dainoff plays for the Cincinnati Wolfhounds, based in Fairfield, and occasionally plays for
Wolfhounds 35 and older team, the Greyhounds. Clubs in the city often have different divisions for players depending on experience level. “There’s plenty of room for people to compete at whatever level they are comfortable with,” Dainoff said. “It’s a lot easier to get involved than you think. All you have to do is find out where a team is practicing and show up and introduce yourself.” The list of rugby clubs is on the ohiorugbyunion.org Web site. While the sport may look confusing at first, Dainoff insisted it’s not as chaotic as it seems and compared it to soccer and football. “Two teams are trying to advance the ball from one side of the field to the other to score,” he
said. And almost as important as how the game is played is the social aspect of rugby. It’s a long-standing tradition in rugby for the home team to throw a party for the visiting team to thank them for coming to play. “You leave the rivalry on the field and that’s part of building this network of friends,” Dainoff said. When he moved to San Francisco, Dainoff was reunited with a former opposing player he’d been involved in a scuffle with while both played for different teams. “That was in the past and we were great teammates on this new team a few thousand miles across the country,” Dainoff said. “That’s sort of rugby in a nutshell.” The game is growing at the
youth level too, according to the ORU’s youth director Chris Hopps. High school teams have been created at Moeller, Walnut Hills, Northbend (St. Xavier and Elder), and Indian Springs. Hopps said he hopes to have a parochial league in Cincinnati in the near future and that his goal is to spread rugby to anyone in high school or younger. The most prevalent way to generate interest, which can eventually build to the formation of teams, is through camps and clinics to teach the game to new players. “We make it so anyone can walk through it,” Hopps said. “They are learning rugby without knowing it.”

Indian Springs high school rugby team finds success By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Indian Springs High School Rugby Club has been in existence for six years and the Jets have been fairly successful during that time. The team has won one city championship and finished in second place twice. Coach Ben Terre Blanche, who played the game in high school in South Africa, said he thinks it’s the nature of the sport that has helped rugby’s recent growth in area high schools. “It’s more participative than football. Everyone on the team of 15 is eligible to catch the ball and everybody gets to run the ball, unlike in football,” he said. “It’s a very dynamic and thrilling game, almost like soccer and wrestling together.” The Jets practice at Landmark Christian Academy and draw players from a number of different schools, including Lakota, Mason, Cincinnati Christian, Princeton and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. “What’s difficult for us is recruiting,” Blanche said. “We don’t have the opportunity to share information with the high schools and we would like to have
better access to the schools.” Blanche said the game is easy to teach and that when a new player gets caught with the ball he learns quickly. “It happens once and then after that he takes it seriously when you tell him what to do,” he said. One of the more important aspects of the sport of rugby is the camaraderie and Blanche said that’s fostered by the way the game is played. “The role of the coach is diminished because there are two 35minute halves and no timeouts during the action,” he said. “They have to make decisions and they become reliant on each other. That causes an extremely tight spirit to develop.” Blanche said rugby isn’t characterized by a lot of drinking in other countries, even if that’s the culture that’s evolved a little more in the U.S. “The team has cookouts and we’ve gone on road trips for games in Columbus and Cleveland and the guys have a lot of fun,” he said. “It was a fantastic experience for the boys. We shared one hotel with a Canadian team and it was like a big party. It was a social experience with chaperones and not associated with getting

Jets’ Tom Shutrump player runs with the ball against Northern Kentucky. drunk.” Blance said the game is less dangerous than it appears and that one challenge the team faces is the lack of knowledge the spectators have about the sport. He also said that the majority of new players are learning the game from scratch and that it takes a higher fitness level than football. “It’s not a game where you have a lineman giving 110 percent for 10 seconds,” he said. “You have to maintain the physical nature of the game for 35 minutes a side with few breaks. “The game requires some athleticism because it goes very quickly,” Blanche said. “I think the reason it’s becoming popular is because of the enjoyment it brings.”
Moeller High School started a rugby team in the spring of 2009 and the Crusaders couldn’t have asked for a more successful inaugural season. Moeller went 9-2 and finished fifth in the state. Their only two losses came to the top two teams in the state. “I had no idea we would have the success we had,” head coach Doug Rosfeld said. “I wanted to do it because so many kids were excited about it, and I was prepared to get absolutely clobbered. We came out of the gate at 7-0 and we’re so excited about the future of Moeller rugby.” While the program may only have one season under its belt, it looks like rugby could have a solid future at Moeller. Rosfeld said the program has strong support from the athletic department, which is evident in Moeller making rugby a varsity sport. Moeller is one of two varsity rugby programs in the state. “It quickly went from being a novelty club sideshow to being a full-fledged varsity sport,” Rosfeld said. “We had 15 kids on the team who had never earned a varsity letter before but we always have a spot for kids who are willing to work hard.” Rosfeld said the pride of representing their school is what set the Crusaders apart from other high school clubs in the city, which are often grouped by location and not school. Rosfeld said the team does not make cuts and that the majority of the kids involved had no prior experience in rugby. That includes the coach. “I was a fan of it but had very little knowledge of coaching the game,” said Rosfeld, the offensive line coach for Moeller’s football team.
“A lot of the coaches in the community helped and I hired a coaching staff that really knows the game and I did a bunch of training seminars and clinics to get up to speed.” He said the team was still learning the game and that only seven or eight out of the 45 players on the team had rugby experience. The team is also senior-driven as the Crusaders had 37 seniors on their roster. “I went out and scouted some key people to play,” he said. “We went after good senior athletes that weren’t planning on playing any sports in college. We had a lot of soccer players, some football players and wrestlers and a few boxers.” Rosfeld said he expects the team will always be senior-driven and that the team’s size, speed and athletic ability helped cover up any inexperience in the sport. He said two of the big misconceptions people have about rugby is that it’s a brutal sport and that the rugby culture revolves around drinking. “The rules clearly regulate the type of tackling and we have far fewer serious injuries than other sports,” Rosfeld said. “College rugby has a reputation in this country but rugby is a gentleman’s sport and every match is followed by a social with both teams. It’s a great experience for kids to learn teamwork, fellowship and camaraderie.” Rosfeld said the team learned rugby is more of a thinking man’s game, like chess, and that you don’t have to be a born and raised rugby player to succeed at Moeller. “The team this year accomplished great feats on the field by working hard off of it and by being willing to work as a team,” Rosfeld said. “That’s what I’m most proud of.”
Cincinnati Kelts Organization provides instant family By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
Rugby provided Brett Simon with instant friends and ultimately a wife when the New Zealander immigrated to the United States in 2006. Simon, a 30-year-old Pleasant Ridge resident, is now an assistant coach with the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club (Cincinnati Kelts). Simon’s wife, Katie Simon, plays for the local club but the pair met three and a half years ago when Brett moved from New
Zealand to Washington, D.C. “Being from New Zealand, one of the first things I did (in Washington, D.C) was to join a rugby club. It’s great because it’s like instant friends,” Brett said. Brett and Katie moved to Cincinnati roughly 18 months ago and were married in May 2008. Upon arriving in the Queen City, the pair quickly found the Cincinnati Kelts’ organization, which includes sides for men and women. “We met new people right away and now we go to happy hours with everyone and tailgate for Bengals’ games,” Brett said. “Rugby is
probably even more social here (than it is in New Zealand).” Brett explained children in New Zealand start following rugby as soon as they are able to watch television, he joked. With each city having 20 or even 30 rugby clubs, socializing after matches usually only involves your own squad. “Rugby and soccer are the big high school sports in New Zealand and most people start very young,” Brett said. But in Ohio, travel time for matches often extends beyond an hour and Americans have figured out a way to
make the trips worthwhile. “You travel a long way so the home team hosts (a party with the away team after every match) and it’s a great time,” Brett said. “Everyone goes straight to the pub (after a match) here.” Curt McDonald, head coach for the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club and a Norwood resident, was quick to agree about rugby’s social nature. “If you wear your rugby jersey then people treat you like family everywhere you go in the world,” McDonald said. “We share a common bond with the sport.”
McDonald moved to Cincinnati from West Virginia in 1998 and found his friends through rugby. “Within a matter of weeks you feel like you’ve found your best friends,” McDonald said. When the fall season starts up, the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club will seek to win its first national title. In 2008, the ladies finished No. 7 in the United States. “When they left nationals last year, they had it in their minds that they would be back,” McDonald said. “They want to win the national title and have the skill to do it.”

Trucking bill not in country’s best interests Rep. Jean Schmidt recently introduced legislation to increase the federal weight limit on tractortrailer trucks to 97,000 pounds from the current 80,000-pound limit and to increase the use of double trailers on our nations highways. I have serious concerns with Ms. Schmidt’s proposal. First and foremost, bigger trucks will result in more rollover accidents making our highways less safe for everyone. Ohio’s decision this past spring to raise the speed limit for heavy trucks to 65 mph combined with Schmidt’s proposal is a recipe for a public safety disaster. A basic physics equation holds that momentum equals mass
times velocity. When you have significantly larger and heavier trucks traveling at higher speeds, the damage caused by acciDavid dents will be Krikorian e x p o n e n t i a l , in Community resulting greater loss of Press guest life and limb. columnist Indeed Gerald Donaldson, senior research director for the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety says of Schmidt’s proposal: “More lives would be lost in large truck crashes” and “More bridges

would be placed at an increased risk for catastrophic failure.” The danger is so great that truck drivers themselves are upset at the prospect of having to deal with much larger vehicles. The Teamsters union opposes Schmidt’s legislation, as do the families of truck accident victims. My second major concern is that our nation’s roads and bridges are already in bad shape and increasing the weight load and use of double trailers will result in even more degradation of our infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Highway Cost Allocation Study reports that large trucks already pay just half of the cost of the damage they cause to
our highways. Taxpayers pay the difference. Schmidt’s bill therefore amounts to an unfunded federal mandate that will put even more stress on our federal, state and municipal budgets. Schmidt’s proposed legislation is good for profits at large trucking businesses and companies like International Paper that are lobbying hard for Schmidt’s legislation. As a business owner myself, I am in favor of pro-business legislation, but not at the expense of the safety of our citizens and our country’s national interest. Rail transportation has been proven to be significantly cheaper over long hauls consuming far

less energy. In terms of cost, safety and environmental impact, investment in our railway system to transport larger loads, faster is the best alternative. Schmidt’s legislation would undermine our railway system and indeed many rail groups oppose it. The federal government’s job is to promote the national interest and in this case we should be focusing efforts on modernizing our railway infrastructure. Schmidt would have us looking backwards; I think you agree that it’s time to look ahead. Above all public safety must not be compromised.

Miles Altman stands near the center of his toy store, King Arthur’s Toys, in Oakley. Altman has owned the store for 15 years.
Specialty toy shop prides itself on service Miles Altman has owned King Arthur’s Toys in Oakley for 15 years and continues to carry toys not found in large toy stores. King Arthur’s Toys uses a variety of methods, including toy fairs, to find the right toys, said Altman. Two employees recently attended a large New York toy fair, according to Altman. “We gamble, we try stuff,” Altman said. “We see what captures (the) customer’s attention.” They try new toys early in the year. This allows them to have the best toys selected by the holiday season, he said. The standards for the shop are kept very high, Altman said. The toys are always organized and neat. Everything is keep neat throughout the day “It’s like grand opening every day,” he said. Altman believes if you set your standards high, your employees will rise to meet them. The specialty toy shop was remodeled to double its size in 1999, Altman said. “I’m proud of how this store is merchandised every day. Obviously I am proud of the people,” he said. Several of King Arthur’s Toys’ employees have been there more than a decade, Altman said. He said it’s important to

Nationally recognized program builds parent empowerment A nationally recognized program, “Parent to Parent,” facilitated by parents addressed the challenges of raising children in today’s toxic culture. The program provides parents with a “toolkit” of specific, practical ideas that can be implemented immediately. This DVD based program was presented by Sycamore and Archbishop Moeller parents to parents at their respective schools. “From time to time we have parents asking Sycamore High School for an opportunity to network with other parents. This was an excellent opportunity for Sycamore parents to attend a program facilitated by Sycamore parents. I find the Parent-to-Parent Program and format to be one tool that today’s parents can use to help

Internet in your home, seven common traps parents fall into with children, and the importance of your child developing aspirations. Lead parent coordinators included: Diane Slovin, Barb Russell and Anne Burandt. Jami Edelheit, Jan Evans, Kathleen Bachman, Lisa Dockus and Tracy McClorey served as facilitators. The Parent-to-Parent Program is a project of the Northeast Community Challenge Coalition funded through the Drug Free Communities Grant. It is coordinated by the Parent Sector Committee of the Coalition, which is made up of parent representatives from Moeller High School, Ursuline Academy, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy and Sycamore Community Schools.
Be a ‘deadheader’ in the garden! Now, when we say the word “deadhead,” what do you think of? Truck drivers think about a return trip without any cargo. And you Grateful Dead fans may think about yourself – Deadheads. In the garden, deadheading has a totally different meaning. Deadheading is the art of removing spent flowers from a plant in order to achieve a few different things. The main idea behind deadheading is to stimulate more flowers. By pinching off the old flowers, it helps to stimulate new growth and more flowers. Some plants need a simple removal of the spent flower, where others may need removal of the spent flower as well as the stalk on which it’s growing. This process is used on both annuals and perennials (and woody plants as well). Deadheading is similar to a pinching or pruning process that helps keep plants more compact, rather than getting long and lanky. By removing the spent flowers and a bit of the stem
below the flower, you’re encouraging a fuller plant. And of course, with more new growth, in turn, you’ll have more new flowers. Deadheading Ron Wilson also helps to elimiIn the garden nate the plants’ trying to go to seed, which can take a lot out of the plant. Instead of producing seed heads, the energy can be sent to the plant and its foliage, and in many cases the plants will continue to re-bloom. If you have coreopsis, a light shearing will help stimulate these plants to keep flowering all summer long, as well as keeping them nice and compact. Deadheading is also a way to help stimulate a second flowering period from plants that may typically flower only once. Summer flowering spirea is a good
By pinching off the old flowers, it helps to stimulate new growth and more flowers. example. Once they’re finished flowering, lightly shear off those spent flowers, and within a few weeks, a second flush of new growth will appear, along with a second period of flowering. As with some perennials and woody plants, even if deadheading doesn’t help stimulate more flowers, it definitely helps to keep your plants looking a lot nicer for the summer season. So, if you haven’t been a deadheader this summer, it’s never too late to get started. Your flowering plants will be glad you did! Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc.

Today’s marriages as predicted 40 years ago The wedding season is upon us. It runs from spring to late autumn. It’s anybody’s guess how many weddings occurred just this last weekend. Today’s weddings occur in a sociological atmosphere quite different from that of a couple’s parents and grandparents. The current atmosphere we’ve collectively spawned over the years is no friend of the newly married, or long-married for that matter. Didn’t we ever see where we were going? Someone did. In 1970 an interesting book, “Future Shock,� was written by Alvin Toffler. He was a sociology professor at Cornell University who conducted research into future value systems. From this research he predicted what our culture could expect in the fast-arriving future and how it would affect our lives. He showed
how we were fast forming a “throw-awayâ€? society. This, in turn, would lead us to adopt a concept of transience – a new “temporarinessâ€? in everyday life as well as a mood of impermanence. This Age of Transience would soon affect our relationship with people, but also our attitude toward things, places, ideas, as well as toward institutions and organizations. He wrote, “The people of the future will live in a condition of ‘high transience’ – a condition in which the duration of relationships is cut short ‌ things, places, people, ideas, and organizational structures will all get ‘used up’ more quickly.â€? Permanent commitment to anything would become passĂŠ. Before most of last week’s brides and grooms were even born, Toffler predicted that success
in the marriage of the future would come to be determined by the degree to which matched development actually occurs between spouses. Love would be determined by the degree of shared growth, not necessarily by the giving of self. Yet, he goes on to say, “The mathematical odds are heavily stacked against any couple achieving this ideal of parallel growth. The odds plummet when the rate of change in a society accelerates, as it is now doing. “In a fast-moving society in which ‌ the family is again and again torn loose from home and community, in which individuals move further from their parents, further from the religion of origin, and further from traditional values, it is almost miraculous if two people develop at anything like comparable rates.â€? Dire words!
And now, almost 40 years later, our own observations bear him out. Human relationships have become more transient and the development of genuine love more tenuous. Love is now sought in serial marriages or clandestine affairs. In 1970 Toffler claimed that in the future those who marry will have an average of three marriages in their lifetime: the first for the expression of sexuality; the second for procreating children; and the third for companionship. “There will be some,� he predicted, “who, through luck, interpersonal skill and high intelligence, will find it possible to make long-lasting monogamous marriages work. Some will succeed in marrying for life and finding durable love and affection. But the others will fail to make even sequential marriages endure for

Got garden vegetables? Make frittata, slaw
Dale and Julie Alexander’s Fabulous Frittata
Frittatas are popular now:
Mark Bittman of the New York Times has his version and Loveland readers Julie and Dale Alexander have theirs, too. “After moving to Loveland from Illinois last year, we found we really missed our Sunday morning breakfast place, Benedict’s in East Dundee, Ill. One of our favorites was the Frittata OlĂŠ. We adapted a frittata recipe from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa, as a basis for our version of Frittata OlĂŠ. This is great for Sunday brunch with a Bloody Mary!â€?
3 ⠄4 pound chorizo sausage (use the fresh, not smoked/cooked kind) 1 medium onion, diced 11⠄2 cups red and yellow pepper or green bell pepper, diced 4-6 green onions, chopped 9 extra large eggs 1 cup whipping cream 2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning (we use Penzey’s Southwest) 1 cup shredded Mexican
style or cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon butter Sour cream Salsa
Brown chorizo sausage in skillet, drain and crumble. In an oven-proof 10- or 11inch skillet, melt butter and saute onions until translucent. Add 1 teaspoon of Mexican seasoning, stir in sausage, peppers and onions. Whisk eggs with cream. Whisk in 1 teaspoon Mexican spice. Pour half egg mixture into skillet with the other ingredients and stir. Add 1â „2 cup of cheese. Add remaining egg mixture, stir slightly. Add remaining 1â „2 cup cheese, stir slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and eggs set. Garnish with sour cream and salsa. Serves six to eight.

Remember, it’s a “quick bread� batter and that means to stir wet ingredients into dry very gently until moistened. Overmixing makes for a dense, sometimes gooey, bread with “tunnels.�

Tips from Rita’s kitchen
1. Zucchini: Leave peel on if you like (I like). When packing for freezer, put more shredded zucchini in the container than you think you’ll need. When thawing, push out excess liquid if
Water (you knew that, right?), hibiscus tea (most herb teas contain hibiscus), grape juice. Careful with energy drinks – check caffeine content, which can elevate blood pressure. Pucker up: A squeeze of lemon juice in your first glass of water helps form and repair collagen, is a gentle liver cleanser, and is great for your immune system and stress. Plus, the vitamin C helps your body absorb iron better.

NEWSMAKERS Residents honored
The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC) recently honored Indian Hill residents Philip O. Geier Jr. posthumously and Susanne ‘Sudie’ Ernst Geier for their selfless generosity whose foresight will benefit everyone impacted by the United Way of Greater Cincinnati for generations to come. United Way nominated them for the GCPGC Voices of Giving Award. A family of true civic commitment, the Geiers truly “Walk the Talk� starting with Geier’s uncle, Frederick Geier, who chaired the first Community Chest campaign in 1915. Following in Frederick’s footsteps, Geier chaired the 1968 United Way of Greater Cincinnati campaign and served as a trustee from 1968-1979, including two years as chairman from 1975-1976. Through the years, he remained involved in the work of United Way partner agencies, serving on the boards of the local Boy Scouts, Boys Club of Cincinnati, and Family Services. Equally committed and

involved as Geier, his wife was recognized as one of ten Women of the Year in 1981 for her voluntarism. She chaired the 1981 Antiques Festival, which raises more than $65,000 for Convalescent Hospital for Children, and she has served as a board member of numerous charitable, non-profit organizations. The Geiers created a remainder trust for the ben-
efit of the United Way Foundation. The fund for human service needs will support and advance the common good of future generations by focusing on the building blocks of a better life. In total, GCPGC gave 20 Voices of Giving Awards to honorees whose gifts are helping to ensure diverse causes will be viable for the future.
Collectively they have committed to giving millions, but more importantly they committed to leaving their legacy. “Greater Cincinnati is a generous, caring community and non-profit organizations are an especially important aspect of our lives,� Andrea Herzig, president of GCPGC told the audience at the awards event. “Our Voices of Giving honorees have all taken the time for purposeful giving; planning their gift for generations they will never meet. This is the true meaning of altruistic philanthropy.� The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council is a professional association of individuals whose life work is to helping to ensure the viability of charitable organizations. It is among the first Planned Giving Councils nationwide to launch the Leave a Legacy Program that encourages individuals to leave a bequest or other planned gift to a nonprofit cause important to them.

Feature of the Week
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
