Indian Hill has politely declined Symmes Township’s suggestion that the village help pay for improvements to the water line in Camp Dennison. The proposed improvements would help Burns increase fire hydrant flow in the area, and City Manager Mike Burns said that would likely require larger water main lines. Indian Hill Water Works Assistant Superintendent Jason Atkins said the village responded to the township’s request by notifying them that while the area falls within the village’s water district, Hamilton County owns the pipes.

He said while emergency medical service (EMS) employees are trained to give the injections, the volunteers are needed in case of an emergency in which firefighter paramedics are engaged in other emergency situations. Ashbrock said volunteers need to be certified by the state, and there will be approximately two to three hours of training involved before they are “on call.” Fire Department Capt.

Economic challenges remain a concern for school candidates in the upcoming election. Four candidates are running for the three available seats on the Indian Hill Exempted Village Board of Education. Candidate Karl Grafe, 49, has served on the Nominating Committee for the village of Indian Hill. He is an attorney with the American Financial Group. Grafe “Clearly it’s the fiscal challenges that we face as a result of the funding changes which are looming,” said Grafe. Candidate Kim Martin Lewis Lewis, 47, has served on the Indian Hill Recreation Commission. She is an attorney with Dinsmore and Shohl. “The biggest challenge will be

Tax hike views The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District Board of Education is considering moving 1.25 mills of inside millage to fund permanent improvements. A decision to move the inside millage means the school tax portion of the property tax will increase, without requiring the issue to be placed on an election ballot. All of the candidates said they support moving the inside millage. “I think it is a well thought out alternative because of the challenges that are looming,” said candidate Karl Grafe. “I look forward to learning more about it and seeking input from the community.” Incumbent board member Elizabeth Johnston said a lot of thought had been education,” she said about the revenue outlook.

Candidate Kim Martin Lewis said she considers the inside millage move necessary with the economic downturn. “My understanding is that this will be something revisited on an annual basis,” she said. “If the funding needs turn out to be less than expected in the future the increase in millage can be reduced.” Candidate Sourushe Zandvakili said he also would support moving the inside millage. “However, we have to balance out any future increases in mills by enhancing or bringing about more productivity in the school district,” he said.

Gold “Selling Tips” for the “First Time Seller”
1.) When calling for quotes…questions you have should be answered clearly, and will be a good indicator of how your experience will go.
3.) Always ask for “prices per gram” (not pennyweight) for each type of karat. If you don’t get an answer… DON’T SELL!
2.) Always have your items weighed and separated by karat in your presence. If you can’t be present…DON’T SELL!
4.) Never meet anyone to sell your items.

A beekeeper previously visited the school. They have all been participants in a brand new “Introduction to Outdoor Education” class offered at the school. The class, which is offered as an elective for

He said the introductory course is a way to introduce a variety of outdoor activities to the children at a younger age. “It applies to our mission promoting active, healthy lifestyles,” said Tranter, 40, a resident of Camp Dennison. “We want to give (the students) ideas of activities they can do.”
Topics the students have studied or will study include archery, sailing, rock climbing, bicycling and skiing. Eighth-grader John Ernst, 13, said he already had some familiarity with sailing and archery. However, he said the course taught him even more. “I didn’t know about all of the different kinds of bows and game you can hunt,” he said. “I like learning about (these) outdoor activities.” The class, which will be wrapping up its fall session, will continue in the spring.

Moeller makes statement with win Indian Hill 31, Reading 21
By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Moeller football team made a statement to the rest of the GCL with a dominating 35-13 win over Elder, and now the Crusaders are looking to make it two straight GCL wins as Moeller faces La Salle at home Oct. 16. “Right now, we’re certainly able to run the football pretty easily,” head coach John Rodenberg said. “The offensive line is creating a lot of holes and we’re using three tailbacks to keep everyone fresh.” The Moeller ground game has been thoroughly impressive, as the Crusaders are averaging more than six yards per carry and have racked up more than 2,000 total rushing yards this season. 323 of those yards came in the rout of Elder. Senior Jeff Aubin had 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Panthers. “I take my hat off to Jeff Aubin; he had a fantastic game against Elder and is having a great season, along with our other backs, Richie Dyer and Tucker Skove,” Rodenberg said. “Collectively, our offensive line is just doing a great job.” The Crusaders have been so successful running the ball that they haven’t been forced to throw it much, despite having a standout quarterback in Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix made several big plays against Elder and has been a playmaker for the Crusaders’ offense in tough positions. The Moeller defense has been improving each week, according to Rodenberg. Moeller standout defensive end Marcus Rush had three sacks and an interception
Indian Hill won its 37th consecutive CHL game with a 31-21 victory over Reading. Quarterback Sam Hendricks ran for 118 yards and a score and also threw for 99 yards. Senior running back Jacob Bauer had two touchdowns in the win. Indian Hill is at Taylor on Oct. 16.
against Elder and linebacker Garret Mize is having a fantastic season, according to his coach. “He’s been a leader for this defense all year long and he’s really come on strong as a starter,” Rodenberg said. “He’s had one of those special senior seasons and is doing a great job.” No team has been within 20 points of Moeller since Sept. 11 against Centerville and La Salle is coming into the Oct. 16 game as losers of three of their last four games. Moeller and La Salle’s only common opponent is Elder, who defeated La Salle 23-13 on Sept. 18. Despite the 4-3 record, the Lancers have been a worthy foe for both St. Xavier and Elder this season. La Salle is led by quarterback Andrew Kummer, who has thrown for almost 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. The game is Oct. 16 at Lockland at 7:30 p.m.

Lockland defeated CHCA for the first time since 1998 – and it needed every second to do so. Trailing 21-0 after the first quarter, the Eagles stormed back with 19 points in the final frame. But it wasn’t enough, as Lockland (7-0, 4-0) remained unbeaten and atop the Miami Valley Conference standings.

Indian Hill girls’ golf posts banner year By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
A sectional title, a 21-1 record and the highest finish in the district tournament in program history. To say the Indian Hill girls’ golf team had a good season would be an understatement. “I was very happy with the season,” head coach Cynthia Annett said. “I was really pleased because we won the sectional tournament by a good amount and played well at districts in bad conditions.” The Braves won the sectional tournament at Fairfield Sept. 28 by shooting a team score of 376. Secondplace Taylor put up a 398 and McNicholas was third with a 400. Indian Hill was led by Allison Hamilton (86), Keerstin Ramsey (89) and McKenna Kornman (91). The Braves missed a trip to state by one place, as Indian Hill finished fifth in the district with a 389. The Braves were led again by seniors Allison Hamilton (83) and Keerstin Ramsey (86). Ramsey is a two-year varsity standout while Hamilton has been on the varsity team all four years. “They were both really enthusiastic and they got the entire team excited

The Indian Hill girls golf team ended the season with a 21 - 1 record for Division II. At the first CHL Challenge, a tournament including Indian Hill, Wyoming, Taylor, Mariemont & one individual from Madeira, Indian Hill won with a 182 (four scores for nine holes). Allison Hamilton was runner-up medalist with a 39 and Keerstin Ramsey was second runner-up with a 45. Next Tuesday we will be competing against 13 other teams at Sectionals in Fairfield. The girls include, from left: Top row, Heather Ma, Keerstin Ramsey, Maggie O’Shea, Allison Hamilton, Cynthia Annett (coach) and bottom row, McKenna Kornman and Jackie Trott. about winning,” Annett said. “The team got along really well, from freshmen to seniors.” Annett said the key to Hamilton and Ramsey’s success was their hard work. “They played in a lot of tournaments in the summer and they both enjoyed practicing,” she said. “It’s really just working hard and enjoying it.” Annett said the two were
good role models for the younger players to look up to and that it helped the team to have two players putting up low scores consistently. The team was also helped by a pair of underclassmen that developed into key players. Sophomore McKenna Kornman and freshman Jackie Trott played a big role in the team’s strong season, along with senior Heather Ma. “I knew we had some

The strong underclassmen, along with a promising eighth-grader who should be a key freshman contributor next year, has Annett feeling good about the program’s future. “I think we can be this good again next year,” she said. “We’ll have some good
players and we will need a few players to step up but things always seem to work out.” Still, it won’t be easy for Indian Hill to replicate the season the Braves put together in 2009. “The girls worked hard and should be recognized for the great record they had,” Annett said. “They had a lot of spirit and because of that they continued to win.”

Ursuline golf rebounds on back 9 By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
Hard work pays off for Moeller’s McKenzie By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Moeller High School basketball senior forward Griffin McKenzie has made his official college decision. He’s staying in town after his high school career to be a Xavier Musketeer. “Xavier is just really the best opportunity I felt overall athletically, academically and socially,” McKenzie said. “I really had great connection with the coaches and their style of play really fits me. I think I can develop as a person and a player there.” McKenzie said the process was tough and that his parents and coaches at Moeller were the biggest help along the way. McKenzie will be following the path of another Moeller basketball great, Josh Duncan, who went on to a stellar career at Xavier. “We have similar skill sets and they plan to utilize me very similarly to him,” he said. “It was a positive thing to show me because it gave me a visual on how they plan to use me.” McKenzie said he’s always been a Xavier fan but took that out of the equation when selecting a school. “I’ve always watched their games and I went to the same middle school as Justin Doellman (another former XU standout). In the end, it was the right fit for me and it came down to a gut feeling.” McKenzie said he’s been impressed with the new Xavier coaching staff, led by new head coach Chris Mack, and their recruiting prowess. McKenzie is the fourth commit for a 2010 class that now includes four top 150 players.
“I have a great feeling of the direction of the program under Coach Mack. I’m really excited,” McKenzie said. “Xavier isn’t in a power conference but gets very highly rated recruits and they transcend their conference to play the highest level of college basketball.” Griffin said it’s a relief to have the process behind him so he can focus on his senior season of basketball at Moeller. “All I’m focused on now is helping my team win a state championship and I’m super excited about it,” he said. “After my Moeller season I’ll focus strictly on Xavier basketball but for now I’m focused on winning state.”
tricts and then on to state,” Utz-Sahms said. Strasser houses a 41.65 average followed closely by Hamilton at 42.38, Sabetta at 42.89 and Suntay at 42.9. “It’s a pretty athletic group of kids. We are just hoping they peak at the end,” Utz-Sahms said. Tenhundfeld and Hamilton both competed at state with Ursuline’s squad last season. Ursuline’s team has qualified to state the past three seasons. Should Ursuline post a top-four finish at districts, the Lions would travel to Columbus for the Division I State Championships on Oct. 23-24.

Moeller’s Griffin McKenzie announces his decision to play basketball for Xavier University at a press conference at Moeller High School.
A disastrous front nine at the Division I Sectional Championships didn’t derail Ursuline’s golf team as the Lions still managed to advance to districts. Ursuline finished second at sectionals with a score of 337 strokes behind first-place Saint Ursula’s total of 322. The top four teams at sectionals advanced to districts. The Lions travel to Weatherwax Golf Course for the Division I District Championships on Wednesday, Oct. 14. The top four teams and top four individuals not on a qualifying team will advance from districts to state. Fairfield Golf Course hosted sectionals Tuesday, Oct. 6, during a windy and rainy Cincinnati day. The elements slowed the Lions down on the front nine though Ursuline was able to rebound on the back nine to advance, head coach Marianne Utz-Sahms said. “I was really proud of them for hanging in there,” Utz-Sahms said of sectionals. “A lot of kids would have just wallowed about the bad day. We just couldn’t do anything right on the front nine.” Utz-Sahms was expecting to see her Lions post a
score of 150 strokes on both the front nine and the back nine, the coach said. However, Ursuline scored 176 strokes on the front nine before roaring to a score of 155 strokes on the back nine. Sophomore Megan Tenhundfeld led the way for Ursuline at sectionals with a 79. Tenhundfeld took seventh place individually while helping lift Ursuline to a second-place finish at sectionals. Tenhundfeld shot an impressive 37 on the back nine after starting the day with a 42 on the front nine. Including all Division I golfers in Cincinnati, Tenhundfeld is ranked No. 9 in

Ohio allows early voting. Is this a good idea and do you plan to take advantage of the opportunity? Why or why not? “Regarding early voting, I’m not sure we really need it since we already have the capability of voting via mail-in absentee ballots if for some reason we will be unable to make it to the polls on Election Day. And I’m also not sure it’s a good idea. What if the Packers and Vikings had a chance to rack up points before the actual game? Wouldn’t that be a little silly? Let’s keep the process clean and honest, and have everyone voting at the same time.” Bill B. “I think it is a good idea because it opens up the opportunity for all eligible voters to take part. I will vote on Election Day, but my husband received an absentee ballot and mailed it in yesterday because he works out of town. What I am wondering is what happens to those ballots once they are received at the Board of Elections office? Are they counted right away or are they locked up in a designated storage room until Nov. 3?” C.P.

Also, there is just something special about voting with everyone else.” M.K.T. “I won’t be voting early – many of the candidates are just starting to coalesce their message and platforms; too soon to make choices.

Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps parties negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement to their dispute. The mediator gives each party an opportunity to present his or her side of the dispute. The mediator facilitates the negotiation process but does not impose settlements, issue orders or make judgments. The Private Complaint Mediation Service is funded and administered by the Hamilton County Municipal Court. PCMS is in downtown Cincinnati at 230 E. Ninth St. near the county courthouse. A municipal court judge has the authority to refer a misdemeanor criminal case to PCMS for mediation. The focus of the case is resolution, not determining guilt or innocence. If the parties reach a settlement, the criminal complaint is withdrawn. In most cases, the parties spell out the conditions of the settlement. If one of the parties fails to keep the terms of the settlement, the other party may report that breach to PCMS. Then a prosecutor reviews the alleged breach and may authorize a formal criminal complaint. So far this year, 84 percent of the criminal misdemeanor cases referred were successfully mediated. If the parties are unsuccessful at mediation, the case is referred

Given that there are folks out of town on that day and away from their voting precincts, I wonder whatever happened to absentee ballots? Have I missed something?” C.W. “The early vote (Absentee Ballot) is a great option. You get the ballot way ahead of time and can take your time studying the issues and voting at home then mailing it in. There is no driving to a polling place in inclement weather and standing in line. I think more and more people are taking advantage of it.

Both Greenberg parties are given opportunity Community the to discuss the Press guest dispute and poscolumnist sible settlements. Hearings are scheduled at the convenience of the complainant. Settlement frequently involves a return of property or other restitution whereas a court can only impose such penalties after a conviction. In certain cases, I will suggest mediation to the parties, but I will refer the case to PCMS only if both parties agree to participate. In my experience, mediation works best for cases between neighbors, co-workers and former friends. People who will come into contact again in the future are more likely to resolve the matter if they can negotiate a satisfactory settlement.

Help! I’m the parent of a senior
Talk about the best of times and the worst of times. Senior year is the very definition of paradox. Senioritis is the common lament. Our teens appear competent and adult in one light and hopelessly dependent, and occasionally infantile, in others. And regardless of whether they seem poised to take on the future or not, it’s bearing down on them. The same child that is polite, helpful and kind out in the world may be sullen and uncommunicative at home. These teens are at a precipice. What you are experiencing is the push and pull of independence – a desire to be adult, to experience adult worlds, adult privileges, combined with a sometimes distressing lack of adult skills and perspective. The same child who wants a later curfew, a car or a spring break trip may need you to bring her homework up to school or puts off the most rudimentary household task. They are, of course, putting their big toes in the deep water of adulthood, and then running back to the safety of home and hearth where, mostly, the living is easy. But, however reluctant they are to admit it, kids this age are frightened. They don’t know what the future holds exactly, but they do know this time next year their lives are going to look very different.

Knabb satisfies customers’ sweet tooth After nearly two decades making wedding cakes, Susan Knabb was looking for a change of pace. “I was looking for a more efficient way to serve my customers,” she said. So in April, Knabb switched from fancy, tiered creations to playful cookies and cupcakes. Her Mariemont store, The Sweeterie, is filled with colorful baked goods and candy, and even stocks homemade sweet treats for dogs. “My favorite part is finding different flavors that taste good and being able to offer those for my customers’ enjoyment,” she said. Some of her signature items include sugar cookies with a vanilla butter glaze that come in all shapes and sizes for any occasion. The double chocolate fudge cupcakes are also a popular choice. “Our stuff is traditional and it’s all really good, high-quality ingredients,” Knabb said. She does, however, get creative with decorations

St. Vincent takes a break to bless pets By Amanda Hopkins
ahopkins@communitypress.com
Students brought in dogs and cats and other pets to a special pet blessing prayer service at St. Vincent Ferrer School Oct. 5. St. Vincent Ferrer pastor the Rev. George Kunkle led the prayer service that celebrates the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Second-grader Jack Ashmore had his mom, Toni Sweeney, bring in his Russian hamster, Hammi, for the pet blessing. “He’s bit me three times and I don’t know why,” Ashmore said of his hamster, who he has had since March. Toni Sweeney said last year she brought in their two dogs for the blessing, but she said Jack wanted the hamster, who is a big hit among the second-graders, to have a special blessing, too. Teacher Maryann Leever said the pet blessing has been a tradition at the church and school for more than 20 years. It was started by a former pastor who had a great love for animals. She said students who could not bring their pets were able to bring in photos of them to share in the service. A pet blessing for the St. Vincent Ferrer parishoners was also conducted Oct. 4.

Thoughts about an unwelcome topic fear of mortality. The difference depends on our neuroses as well as our spiritual and psychological health. An authentic religious faith plays an ever-increasing role in our dealings with death as it has for people throughout the centuries. It’s understandable that today, as our faith diminishes, we have an almost obsessive concern with lengthening life and staving off death. Yet, as Dr. James Hollis writes in “What Matters Most,” “All of our instrumentalities, our wondrous medical armamentaria, only extend our stay a few years at best. …We are living longer and longer as a species, but in service to what?” How is it that a person might achieve what he or she wants in life and still feel miserable?
Are our lives four times more happy and meaningful that the much shorter lives of those who lived in ancient Greece; or two times more happy than those who lived just a century ago? Will those who live longer in this present century live better lives, and how do we define “better” – just by living longer? Gold and diamonds are precious because of their limitedness. Each of our days and years are precious because they are limited. A hiding from the reality of death is a denial of one’s basic nature. The integration of the idea of death, rather than sentence us to a bleak pessimism, can act as a catalyst to plunge us into more authentic ways of living. We will prize depth over abundance; wisdom over knowledge; humility

income – so they took the difference of that,” she said. Hurst counted up all the Howard Ain money the Hey Howard! S o c i a l Security Administration took out for food and shelter each month from 2002 to 2008, and it came to more than $13,000. This is money neither she nor Cecil will receive. Hurst said, “I asked, ‘Well, if you’re going to take the money from me, why don’t you give it to Cecil who has been taking care of me all these years?’ She said, ‘Well, he should have been keeping receipts.’ I wasn’t told about that.” Hurst said she’s learned a valuable lesson. “I had the wrong attorney. I should have worked with a disability attorney who knew the ups and downs,” she said. So, if you’re thinking about applying for such benefits you should first know it can take months, even years, to get approved – and you may have to go through several appeals. You certainly should hire an attorney who focuses on this type of law. To avoid losing back pay for food and shelter, write out a loan agreement with the people with whom you’re living. State in the agreement should benefits be awarded you will repay them for their

The recession is expected to add more people to the Social Security rolls – so many, in fact, that the government said it will pay out more benefits than it will collect in taxes the next two years. Social Security disability claims have jumped nearly 20 percent since the recession began. It seems a lot of people who had been working despite their disabilities are now applying for Social Security Disability benefits after losing their jobs. If you find yourself in this situation, you have to be very careful to avoid losing benefits unnecessarily. Cynthia Hurst of Blanchester applied for Social Security disability back in 2002, and didn’t get approved until 2007. “It took me 5 1/2 years to get approval, jumping through their hoops to do whatever they wanted me to do. I had been denied twice,” she said. When Hurst finally got approved, she learned Social Security would give her benefits going back five years. “I found out you’ll receive back pay in a few increments the first year, but they won’t give you the rest for another year,” she said. What happened next was the biggest surprise for Hurst, who has been living with her boyfriend, Cecil, for many years. “They said that food and shelter in someone else’s house is considered an

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

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

Preserving herbs the ‘green’ way
I’ve had a few requests for how to dry herbs the old-fashioned way, now touted as being the “green” way. Here’s how I do it: Except for lavender (the flower buds contain the
most flavor and fragrance), I like to use the leafy portion of the herbs – the flavor of herbs is best right when the plant is beginning to form buds, but most of the time, I harvest whenever I can. Sometimes it’s at this stage, other times the herbs are in full flower. And remember, the flowers of culinary herbs are edible, so if you want to dry them, that’s OK.
Traditional bunching of whole plant:
Most herbs dry nicely by these traditional methods. Strip an inch or so from the bottom of the stem and hang upside down secured with a rubber band or string away from heat, light and moisture (or hang upside down in paper bag). You can also place the leaves in single layers in a basket, on a cloth or screen. When they crinkle between your fingers, they’re dry. Strip leaves from stems and leave whole if possible. Volatile oils stay intact until you crush them for cooking. Store away from heat and light. To use dry herbs in place of fresh, use l/3 of the amount called for, since dry herbs are stronger.

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

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.
