Benefit to honor Jackie Skukan By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
The murder of Monfort Heights teacher Jackie Skukan shocked the school and community last year when she was killed by an exboyfriend on Dec. 24. Now friends, colleagues and family are having a benefit to honor her and keep her memory alive. Jackie Skukan’s friends, colleagues, and family want to honor her and keep her name alive and are having a benefit in her name on from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Sluggers Rockin’ Cafe at 10765 Reading Road in Evendale. “Jackie was a vibrant 30-yearold with a huge heart,” said Tracy Ison. “She was my best friend.”
Skukan was a physical education teacher at Monfort Heights. “She made a difference in the lives of many children throughout her 61⁄2 years of teaching,” Ison said. “The students looked up to her, loved her class, and perhaps most importantly, felt that they had someone who cared about them each and every day.” Ison says there have been lots of donations for raffles at the benefit, and there will be “Split the Pot,” games, drinks and a good time. “People are welcome to stay after 9 p.m.,” Ison said. All proceeds will go to Lighthouse Youth Services, a multiservice agency providing social services to children, youth and families in Ohio. Operating since
1969, Lighthouse is nationally recognized as an innovator in services for families in crisis, for homeless youth and young adults, Skukan for youth learning to become self-sufficient, and in foster care for abused or neglected children. In all, Lighthouse operates 18 different programs and a charter school. Last year, the agency served more than 5,000 young people and families. “We are positive that this event will prove to be a success in benefiting a worthy cause, while keeping Jackie’s name and memory alive,” Ison said.
When Daylight Savings Time comes to an end Sunday, consider changing more than your batteries. The Colerain Township Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services is launching a campaign to encourage homeowners to switch to photoelectric smoke detectors. Capt. Switch Edwards, a public information officer with the department, says that last year the International Association of Fire began a campaign encouraging people to change more than just smoke alarm batteries when Daylight Savings Time ended. About 90 percent of homes are equipped with ionization smoke alarms. Ionization smoke alarms have a small amount of radioactive material, and establish a small electric current between two metal plates, which sound an alarm when disrupted by smoke entering the chamber. But Edwards said these detectors can delay sounding the alarm in smoldering fires. A delayed warning during a smoldering fire, especially at night, can incapacitate people who are sleeping and lead to death as fire spreads. The Colerain Fire Department is taking up the cause. Edwards says photoelectric smoke alarms contain a light source and a light-sensitive electric cell. These alarms are more sensitive to large particles given off during smoldering fires – the kind of fires that typically occur at night when people are asleep. He says the photoelectric alarms are better across the board. “In flaming fires, you measure the difference in seconds. In a smoldering fire, the photoelectric detector is 11 to 15 minutes faster.” Edwards says the photoelectrics are more reliable, too. “In one study, the probability for failure for ionization detectors in a smoldering fire was more than 40 percent,” he said. “If you go to a restaurant where they get your order wrong 40 percent of the time, you’re not going back,” Edwards said. “If you buy a video game and it freezes 40 percent of the time, it is going back. You wouldn’t accept a 40 percent fail rate in anything else. Don’t accept one when it comes to smoke detectors.”

Three vying for Springfield Twp. trustee ic job, but no one w a n t s v a c a n t homes and homes not being maintained in their neigh-
By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Two Springfield Township trustees are being challenged for their re-election bids. Jeannette Harrison, a resident of the township for 30 years, has run unsuccessfully for two state seats, but this is her first bid for local office. Harrison, who said she is self-employed in the marketing field, said cleaning up township neighbor-

borhoods. “We all have to work together.” Tom Bryan is completing his 17th year on the trustee board. “It’s been fun seeing the transformation we’ve been
able to accomplish in the township,” he said. “We’ve gone from nine fire districts to a 24-hour, seven-day a week department and a police department that is nationally accredited and recognized. “We still have unfinished business and challenges ahead and I want to be a part of that. “I truly believe we have not only the experience with the current trustees, but a board prepared to work together to continue
making the township a great place to live and work.” Bryan, a township business owner, also cited the on-going strategic planning to address specific needs of the diverse township neighborhoods as a project he wants to be a part of if re-elected. Joe Honerlaw has been on the trustee board the past 13 years. “I really enjoy the job and seeing the policies and procedures we’ve initiated
come to fruition,” he said. “We have accomplished a lot and have a lot of challenges ahead, including the neighborhood action plan we’ve launched.” Continuing the township’s property maintenance program, retail and residential redevelopment, and finances, Honerlaw said, are the major issues facing the township.” Honerlaw is an attorney with offices in the township.

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 coun-
try 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
“This is the only parade for the veterans in Hamilton County on that Sunday.”
Bill Gettler
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.
Thrift shop paying dividends to schools By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Shopping or donating to a new local thrift shop could mean treasures for your local school district. The Treasures Thrift Store, at 6962 Harrison Ave., is a thrift store that supports school academics and a local church by making donations to them based on how community support at the shop. Northwest, Oak Hills and 0000364064
Three Rivers local school districts are all benefiting from the program, as is Phillipi Baptist Church in Western Hills. Residents who donate items to Treasures and mention a school district start the program in motion at the shop. Treasures will sell the items and donate 25 percent of the sale back to the school district credited for the donation. 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 support education,” he said. “Our donations are targeted for academic programs and activities. I was an athlete in high school, and they have a lot of boosters. We need to support education.” He says the next generation needs help. He said an experience with his nephew, who knew all the words to an MTV video song but needed help with homework facts, convinced him that education needs a helping hand. “These kids will be making decisions for us when we are old,” he said. “And right now, all they want to do is dance.” One of his partners, Priscillia Simpson, is an education major, another is a former teacher, so Fisher says a connection to schools
JENNIE KEY/STAFF
Prisicillia Simpson, a partner in Treasures Thrift, color sorts merchandise in the shop at 6962 Harrison Ave. was natural for the group. “This program is 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.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT
Colerain Township Voters have Options on Election Day To: The Residents of Colerain Township We were so proud of Dad eight years ago when he became a trustee for Colerain Township. He never wanted to be a politician, he just wanted the best for the township and its residents. With one exception, all of us are residents of Colerain Township and raise our children in this community. Like we said, our dad wanted the best for us and the best for Colerain Township. Over the past few years, current trustees have let their egos and personal political ambitions guide their policies. The lack of professionalism amongst peers and the disrespecting of constituents has reached a breaking point. When one of us supported a resolution proposed by our Dad that would help maintain property values, Mr. Ritter viciously attacked her credibility. When our Dad disapproved of securing an unnecessary loan that will cost the township tax payers close to $100,000, Mr. Ritter made personal attacks at our family. Just recently, Mr. Ritter referred to our Dad as "Hitler" and questioned the sanity of Colerain voters for reelecting him. These deplorable actions are disheartening as we fully supported Mr. Ritter’s previous election campaign. We feel Mr. Ritter lacks moral character and fiscal responsibility and given his personal attacks on our family, we can no longer stand behind Jeff Ritter or his political career. Unfortunately for the residents of Colerain Township, our Dad decided that "enough is enough" and for the good of his family, he will not seek a third term. He gave his heart and soul to the residents of Colerain Township. His dedication, integrity and fiscal responsibility will be missed by all. We urge the voters of Colerain Township on November 3rd to elect only those candidates that exhibit community dedication, fiscal prudence, and high moral standards. We owe that to all of our families and all of our children. Just like eight years ago, we are still very proud of Dad. Although Colerain Township is at a great loss, we selfishly look forward to spending more time with him as he enters retirement. He is, and always will be, a great role model for our family and community. Signed, Denise Fiedeldey Swanson Dena Fiedeldey St. John Darla Fiedeldey Barge Dana Fiedeldey Dunagan

Ashley Gabriel, left, and Emily Rieger, both from Colerain Township, labels some of the evidence found at a “crime scene” at McAuley High School in College Hill. Science teacher Julie Urso is offering a forensic science class to the juniors and seniors. The students were investigating an automobile hit-and-run scene using glass analysis.
Roger Bacon High School
More than 30 students and 2009 graduates earned AP Scholar Awards for their achievement on the College Board’s Advanced Placement exams. Recognized were 2009 graduates Maria Groh, Chelsea Hoffmann, Mark Krause, Danny Miller, Kelly Raffenberg, Amanda Shaw, Marcus Stevenot, Tim Sunderman, Kevin Ton-
nis, Carolyn Williams and Chelsea Wylie; and current students Briagenn Adams, Sarah Asebrook, Kelsey Bickel, Brian Bien, Eric Brunner, Helen Cappannelli, Ashley Corbett, Lynde Devlin, Marco Fiorini, Annie Foertmeyer, Courtney Gilbert, Katie Groh, Jessica Hoffman, Nick Koehling, Frank Kolis, Matt Lape, Adam Lawall, Allison Lawlor, Mary Mushaben, Carmen Nemore, Patrick Stiver and Nick Wilking. • Senior Matt Lape, a White Oak resident, participated in a six-week internship this summer with physicist Andrei Kogan of the University of Cincinnati. The project for the internship focused on low temperature physics. Lape and three other students learned to use lab equipment, utilize liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature for many of their experiments and write Lape experimental protocol for many of the tests they completed. Many experiments focused on the resistance changes that occur to metals and alloys as the temperature is decreased. Students learned computer programming in order to write programs specific to their experimental method and data requirements. The internship is available through the QuarkNet Program offered by the UC’s physics department each summer for a junior aspiring to enter the realm of physics or engineering.

Here comes the bride … and a nice donation for the One Way Farm. The Northwest Exchange Club is sponsoring a Wedding Expo to benefit the One Way Farm Children’s Shelter in Fairfield. Dan Wunderlich, president of the Northwest Exchange Club, said the group was looking for a way to raise money to make a more significant impact for the agency. “In the past, we have not raised significant amounts of money,” he said. “And in this economy, $100 here or there doesn’t really go very far.” He said the group decided to pursue a fundraiser with more potential. Members responded generously, and the Wedding Expo will have some nice raffle prizes as well as more than 30 exhibitors. The expo will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, at Wunderland, 7881 Colerain Ave. It will include a floral show by Mattfeld’s Greenhouse & Florist at 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Gowns are provided by England’s Elegant Attire. There will also be ice carving demonstrations by Artic Diamond Inc. and a number of other wedding professionals will be on hand. Attendees can meet with representatives to talk about tuxes, cakes, photography, music, honeymoon plans, transportation, furnishing and financing a new home, wedding favors and wedding planning. There will also be raffles including a 40-inch Sharp LCD HDTV donated by Muenchen’s Furniture Express. Admission is a donation of $5 per person. A coupon is available on the Wunderland Web site at www.wunderlandhall.com.
When they meet
The Northwest Exchange Club meets weekly at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays at the Clovernook Country Club, 2035 Galbraith Road, for breakfast to hear invited speakers who come and share on a variety of topics from human interest to personal growth. Club officers invite visitors thinking about joining the club to come to a meeting. Call 675-0625 to be sure the group is going to meet when you want to visit.

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp
PRICING YOUR HOME APPROPRIATELY
The “recipe” for establishing the right selling price for your home requires three very important ingredients: an intimate knowledge of the real estate market, a current evaluation of economic conditions, and good old-fashioned intuition- All three must be artfully combined when you list your home for sale. Placing your property on the market at the right price is probably the single most important requirement for selling your home quickly and successfully. In reality, potential buyers will ask the price of your home first and then decide whether it measures up to their requirements. Homes that are priced competitively and fairly appeal to qualified buyers who have the means to make a legitimate offer a property listed at a reasonable asking price will also draw a larger response from ads and word of mouth. A fair list price will encourage offers that are closer to the asking price, and can even initiate a bidding war if properties are scarce in the area. An attractive listing price will keep your home fresh on the market and safeguard against, seller’s stagnation”. Once a home bears the stigma of sitting on the market for months, a price reduction is not far behind.

Students may need travel time next year By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
There will be lots of changes as the Northwest Local School District moves toward a seven-bell schedule in the fall. Students will return to juggling more classes in their schedules, and the school district will be juggling schedules as it tries to fit more courses into what is offered. The district is working on a plan that moves its high
school students back to a seven-bell day from the current four-block schedule now in use at Colerain and Northwest high schools. The district went to a four-bell schedule in 2001. Superintendent Rick Glatfelter says the change should be in place for the 2010-11 school year. He says the seven-bell schedule reduces the number of credits required to graduate and would save the district about $1 million annually.
One way the district will be able to offer more classes to its high schoolers is a plan to share some classes between its two high schools Where it is not feasible to offer a class at both high school sites, students could be able to travel between the two buildings to take classes. School board member Pam Detzel said the district is developing a travel bell to fit into the seven-bell day.

Colerain takes down Middletown
By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Colerain avenged the 2008 loss to Middletown in a game the Cardinals absolutely had to have to keep their playoff hopes alive. Colerain defeated Middletown 10-7 on Oct. 23. Colerain’s Greg Tabar kicked a 25-yard field goal in the third quarter and the defense held on to pick up the win. Trayion Durham led the offense with 113 yards on 18 carries. Tyler Williams had 50 yards on four carries and Tabar had 40 yards on nine carries. The Colerain defense played a stellar game, forcing four Middletown turnovers and producing two quarterback sacks. Colerain closes the regular season with Oak Hills at home on Oct. 30. After a bit of a scare in a 27-16 win at Hamilton Colerain trailed 16-7 in the first half and led just 20-16 entering the fourth quarter the Cardinals were dominant in their next three games. They defeated Princeton, Sycamore and Mason by a combined score of 115-17 and notched their second shutout of the season with a 28-0 win over the Aviators on Oct. 9. “We keep getting better each week,” head coach Tom Bolden said. “We always tell our guys that if you get better after each day, after each practice and after each game, and you put yourself in position to be successful at the end of the season, that’s all you can ask for.” Colerain passed one of its toughest tests of the year in a 31-14 win over Princeton Oct. 2. Vikings senior quarterback Spencer Ware, who has verbally committed to Louisiana State University, combined for 236 yards against the Cardinals, including a 61-yard touchdown pass to Justin Cornwall and a 68-yard touchdown run. Aside from those two plays, however, Colerain held Ware to 14 carries for 24 yards and 7-of-15 passing for 83 yards and an interception. “His two touchdowns were in a matter of about 25 seconds,” Bolden said. “So we pretty much held him in check. It took a whole defensive effort and our guys knew they had to fly at the ball.” Colerain then enjoyed its most lopsided two-week stretch of the season, defeating Sycamore and Mason by a combined score of 86-3.
Colerain No. 22 Chris Davis heads in for a touchdown near the end of the second quarter of play Oct. 23.

Colerain No. 44 Jarrett Grace takes down Middletown No. 4 Kevin Watts in the first half of play Oct. 23 at Colerain. The Cardinals had two 100-yard rushers in each game and have accomplished that feat five times this season. They have also had a 200-yard rusher on four occasions, including two by junior fullback Trayion Durham (207 yards against Princeton and 200 against Mason); junior tailback Tyler Williams ran for 219 against Lakota East, while senior Greg Tabar ran for a team-best 221 against Dupont Manual. For the season, Tabar has 909 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, Durham has 960 and 13, and Williams has 828 and seven. Bolden has also been impressed with his rapidly progressing offensive line, particularly senior Joe Campbell. “He had a great game against Mason,” Bolden said. “He’s one of our seniors who played a lot last year.” Defensively, sophomore

linebacker Jake Blust leads the team in sacks (4.0), while sophomore linebacker Joe Bolden leads in tackles (32), forced fumbles (three) and fumble recoveries (two). Senior Bam Harrison has a team-high three interceptions. Colerain, which entered the week at No. 13 in the Harbin Ratings, is predicted to jump to No. 8 when the regular season concludes – pending a road win over Oak Hills (3-6, 1-5) Oct. 30. Should the Cardinals procure the final playoff spot, they should face either St. Xavier or Moeller in a firstround playoff game and will likely have to run the GCL gauntlet to advance to the state semifinals. “It doesn’t matter who we play,” Bolden said. “Every week has been a playoff week. I’ll be happy to get in.”
6 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. Abbatiello scored the Lancers’ touchdown in the first half on a one-yard run.
Mount Healthy 21, Northwest 12
Northwest turned the ball over three times in the first quarter and Mount Healthy (6-3) took advantage of the miscues to register a 21-12 win. Denzel Larkin scored two touchdowns and Tracey Barnes had another score for Mount Healthy. Mount Healthy is at Edgewood on Oct. 30. Mount Healthy limited Northwest to only 14 rushing yards on the game. Northwest got touchdowns from Preston Brown and Rasheem Whitfield and quarterback Cameron Bryant threw for 176 yards. Northwest finished the game with five turnovers. Northwest has now lost five of their last six and finish the season against Ross on Oct. 30.

St. Ignatius 30, St. Xavier 21
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.”

Burger lives in Monfort Heights. “He always had the talent to (make state). We found some flaws in his swing (late in the season), worked with him and he ended up correcting a lot of those things,” La Salle head coach Jonathan Feldkamp said. “He started striking the ball more purely. He had a breakthrough at sectionals with the new swing,” Feldkamp added. “He stopped trying to guide his shots and just let it go.” At first-round sectionals Oct. 7, the Lancers qualified to districts as a team with a third-place finish at 312 strokes. Burger led the Lancers with a 74 at sectionals while finishing in a tie for second place. At second-round districts Oct. 14, Burger was the only Lancer to secure a state qualification with his thirdplace finish at 77 strokes. “It’s good for the entire team to see a guy go up to state,” Feldkamp said. “It’s not a foreign obstacle that they know nothing about anymore. They all know John, they saw what he did to get there and all of the guys just need to follow his lead. You just have to let it go.” Though Burger

advanced, the Lancers suffered a heartbreaking setback at districts as La Salle missed out on a team state qualification by one stroke. With the top three teams advancing from districts to state, La Salle finished in fourth place at 328 strokes just behind third-place Centerville’s total of 327 strokes. Much like the La Salle team, Lancer senior David Wetterich also just missed out on a state qualification. David, nephew of PGA touring professional Brett Wetterich, finished districts in a tie at 78 strokes with Sidney’s Zach Yinger. The golfers launched into a playoff to determine the final state qualifier. During the playoff hole, Yinger qualified for state with a four as David posted a five to fall one stroke short of advancing. “We were obviously disappointed,” Feldkamp said simply of team’s results at districts. David and senior Ben Schneider concluded their varsity careers as the Lancers’ No. 1 and No. 4 golfers, respectively. Burger and junior Michael Schmidt will return in 2010 to lead the Lancers, Feldkamp said. Burger was No. 3 for La Salle this fall with Schmidt at No. 2. Freshman starter Matt Wetterich, David’s younger brother and the Lancers’ No. 5 golfer this fall, will also return in 2010.

Vying for its second straight state title, the St. Xavier High School golf team fell short, placing second at the 12-team tournament at Ohio State University’s Scarlet Course on Oct. 23-24. St. X, which shot 313, finished four strokes off of state champion St. Charles. “We’ve come a long way in the last year,” head coach Brian Shircliff said. “The guys work hard. They’ve been working hard for years. We started in January lifting weights and working on our game.” “This is the most dynamic team I’ve ever coached,” Shircliff said. “The best scores can come from anyone.” And they did. St. X advanced to state after winning sectional and district championships. As a team, the Bombers shot a 305 at the sectional tournament, which was played at Miami Whitewater Forest on Oct. 7, to best Elder (310), La Salle (312) and Fairfield (323). Junior Smith Brinker was sectional champion after shooting a 73, while senior Austen Estes tied for second overall with a 74. Senior Carl Schlotman IV finished ninth with a 78, senior Colin Stelljes finished tied for 15th with an 80, and junior George Rohde finished tied

for 19th with an 82. 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.”

For only the second time in the event’s history, the state championships were condensed to an 18-hole, one-day format because of inclement weather. The first time state was condensed was in 1996. The condensed state championships took place in Columbus on Saturday, Oct. 24, and included a field of 72 golfers.

Hart responds to Fiedeldey column In last week’s Northwest Press, Trustee (Bernie) Fiedeldey wrote a column critical of me and the Colerain Township Business Association after attending the CTBA candidate forum. The first thing is that the speech he criticized was not the speech I gave that night. The speech I presented was a policy statement of my plan to rebuild and revitalize the township in a logical all inclusive fashion. It included concepts, process, methodology and a starting point to encompass all Colerain Township. This speech is on my Web site votetomhart.com. I also gave a copy of the speech to the Northwest Press that evening. The comments he used were from other information on my Web site as well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for Hunt
I support Fred Hunt for re-election to the Northwest school board. I supported Fred when he first ran for the school board five years ago and I am glad that I did. Fred takes time, apart from his family and full-time job, to make sure he visits as many school activities as possible. Not just in his neighborhood but all over the district. Fred has taken the time to become certified as a master board member by the Ohio School Board Association. Fred has been a three-time recipient of OSBA’s Award of Achievement and was elected to the OSBA’s Southwest Region Executive Committee. So what does all of that mean? It shows how dedicated Fred is to his position on the school board. Not only to the board but to the students and staff of the district. The type of leadership, is what leads to a district that earns an excellent rating from the state of Ohio. Keeping some one like Fred Hunt on the school board can only ensure that our schools will continue to achieve excellence for our children and produce children of excellence.

Vote for Hart
The Northwest Press guest column by a lame duck trustee expounding on the qualifications of Thomas Hart, a candidate for Colerain Township trustee, surprised me beyond the inaccuracy of his content and the humorous irony of his accusations. Hart, a practicing certified public accountant with 34 years of experience and designation to perform local government audits, is eminently qualified for the position of trustee, especially with his common sense decision-making. Ironic that Fiedeldey tries influencing township voters using inferences to cronyism and conflict of interest, since his tenure is replete with questionable practices: initiatives to hire relatives, awarding major construction projects minus public bidding, supporting cost overruns and approving payment claim for unauthorized work, approving contracts for one of his major clients. Also, due to his short-sightedness, we
have township streets in major disrepair, traffic congestion at intersections and opportunities for infrastructure improvements floundering. Thank goodness Hart will provide what Colerain Township needs – a progressive thinker engaging his associates and fellow citizens in resolving issues critical to the future of Colerain Township. By voting for Hart, you can replace nepotism, etc., with proven work ethic and passion for improving Colerain residential and business communities. Keith G. Smith Livingston Road Colerain Township
Insurance companies
Most states, if not all by now, have some form of required auto insurance. Either the driver has to present the insurance to get a drivers’ license or the driver better be able to show the insurance if they have and accident or get a charged with a violation which requires a court appearance. If they don’t have it they will sure wish they did. And yet when all these laws were coming into being there was no big debate. It was for the general good to require auto insurance and it presented no threat to insurance company profits. To memory, absolutely no one called it socialism. Anyone else think that the only difference with the current health insurance debate is that the proposed reforms threaten those insurance company profits? Ronald C.

Vote Ritter, Deters
During my last two years serving as Colerain Township trustee, I had the pleasure serving alongside Jeff Ritter. I found Jeff to be thorough in administrating the duties of his office, honest and a person focused on getting things done. He collaborates well with others and works to move Colerain Township forward with a conviction of responsibility. I have also come to know Dennis Deters well. I believe Dennis offers Colerain Township fresh ideas and the common sense needed for the right application of local government. His background working with local governments
through his law practice has prepared him to be well qualified to fill the office of trustee. The experience, capability and integrity of Ritter and Deters offer the best choices for the office of Colerain Township trustee. I encourage all of our citizens to cast their votes for Ritter and Deters on Nov. 3. Keith Corman Woodtrail Lane Colerain Township

November is fast approaching. This means that two trustee positions will be on the ballot. In the past internal fighting has hampered the forward progress of the township. You, the township residents, deserve better representation than this. Enter Thomas J. Hart. Tom is a CPA and what better qualified person would you want to look after your township finances? Hart is married, has three children and his lived in the township 35 years. He was in the military for years and served his country well in Vietnam. As an independent politician, his goal is to serve the township in various business ventures. He wants you to live in a decent place as well as to propel the job market for you, have great places to shop, dine and betterment of schools. These are his goals. The inner workings and success of the township belongs to you, the voters. Come November, I respectfully request that you consider Tom Hart as your trustee to move the township forward. Pat Koester Springdale Road Colerain Township
Vote for Hunt
We recommend that you vote to re-elect Fred Hunt to the Northwest Local school board. Fred’s non-partisan common sense approach and leadership have resolved many years of public distrust and helped lead the district to an excellent overall rating. His decision making always takes into account what’s best for the students, staff, community and taxpayer. Fred has served on the board since November of 2004. During this time, he has distinguished himself in the following ways: certified as a master board member
by the Ohio School Boards Association; three-time recipient of OSBA’s Award of Achievement; served on the OSBA Southwest Ohio Region executive committee; currently serving his second year as board president; and previously served as the board vice-president and student achievement liaison. Plain and simply, Fred is involved and gets things done. That is the kind of Leadership we wish all of our elected officials had which is why we are voting for him and urge you to do the same.

Club endorsements
The Colerain Township Republican Club endorses Jeff Ritter for re-election and Dennis Deters for the open township trustee seat. Jeff Ritter’s accomplishments as a trustee include helping establish the police undercover unit, improving the quality of life in Colerain by enhancing our parks and doing this in a fiscally conservative manner. Jeff has a strong financial background and cautious spending has enabled Colerain to withstand the “Great Recession” better than many other communities. We are also pleased to have Dennis Deters running for election. Dennis is an attorney experienced in representing local governments and will bring a muchneeded perspective to the board. Both Jeff Ritter and Dennis Deters are raising their young families here in Colerain Township, so they understand firsthand the long-term implications of the decisions that the Colerain Township trustees will make in the upcoming years. Furthermore, both understand what makes a good public official: listening to all viewpoints, thinking outside the box and working with others to get things done. The Colerain Township Republican Club is proud to endorse both Jeff Ritter and Dennis Deters for township trustee.

Ritter for trustee
Jeff Ritter is an important part of my community and my family because of his personalized attention and support in making a better Colerain Township. Because of Ritter’s care and concern for a better community I urge you to reelect him as a Colerain Township trustee. About two years ago I contacted the trustees concerning some trouble my neighbors and I were having regarding speeding cars and poor property maintenance. I was blown away when Jeff not only agreed to talk to me but came to my home and really listened. Immediately I saw action, but Jeff didn’t stop there. He took the time to come back out with a Colerain Police Department neighborhood resource officer to meet with the neighborhood and to hear our concerns. Jeff did not leave that night until we had a workable game plan in place. Jeff has continued to remain a part of our Groesbeck neighborhood and we wanted to make sure the other residents of Colerain knew what kind of man he is. They should know that Jeff truly does care and works hard to protect and improve our quality of life. Our township would be blessed to have Jeff Ritter continue on as one of our trustees.

Response to Fiedeldey
In last week's issue of the Northwest Press, (Bernie) Fiedeldey viciously “tossed boulders” at Tom Hart just prior to the election. Hart has volunteered countless hours for the betterment of Colerain Township for many years. Refer to his bio in the Press for details of his accomplishments. I doubt that most of us will never know if this is Fiedeldey's and/or the township Republican party's attempt to elect two Republicans as trustees. As a Republican, I am dismayed at this attack. Fiedeldey also accuses the Colerain Township Business Association of being a self-serving special interest group. I think that the seven township students who were each awarded a $500 educational scholarship this year and

Ritter reviews accomplishments Time for proven leadership
When I was elected Colerain Township trustee in 2005, it was a fulfillment of a deep desire I had to help lead our community and be an advocate for a responsible and accountable government guided by solid decision-making at every level. As the only incumbent in this race, I'm very proud to address my record and accomplishments over the last four years, and make my case for another term. By any account, I've had a very eventful term that continually tested my leadership and judgment. Whether it was the Rumpke landfill expansion hearings, the prospect of reduced sheriff patrols, fighting Section 8 housing or my efforts to help Northgate Mall, one thing was consistent: Every decision I made or position I took was guided by the best interests of Colerain Township, regardless of politics or personal agendas. Over the past four years, I have aggressively supported our police and fire departments, been a steadfast warrior against more Section 8 housing in Colerain Township and been accessible and responsive to our residents with their every day problems and concerns. I have also supported economic development and the Colerain business community, especially in the
recessionary climate we currently face. The property maintenance code enacted in 2007 has Jeff Ritter helped a Community great deal to Press guest p r e s e r v e property valcolumnist ues and make our neighborhoods safe and attractive. I am the best candidate because of my combination of experience as trustee, as well as my experience in the private sector in corporate finance. In addition, I have proven a propensity to work collaboratively with others and build consensus for solutions that are in the best interests of Colerain Township. I am proud to be fiscally conservative, but also exhibit a willingness to make strategic investments that will make Colerain Township a better place to live and work in the long term, while striving to keep our property taxes as low as possible. In the next four years, Colerain Township will undoubtedly face its share of challenges, but also have many opportunities to improve. We have just begun to implement major improve-
ments to Clippard Park and the streetscape initiative for the Colerain Avenue corridor will provide a great catalyst to attract more investment and better retail in the future. Public safety will continue to require the board's attention and focus, as will all of our township services so they're delivered efficiently and effectively. My familiarity with the issues and my leadership would be a valuable asset while providing continuity to the board. I am endorsed by former congressmen Steve Chabot and Rob Portman, State Sen. Bill Seitz, State Rep. Lou Blessing, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters and Sheriff Simon Leis, as well as Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 113, which represents the Colerain Police Department officers and sergeants. In the final analysis, I want to be known as the type of leader that appeals to your best hopes, not your worst fears. It has been a genuine honor and privilege to serve you the last four years as trustee. I believe I've earned your trust for another term and I would truly appreciate your support on Nov. 3. Jeff Ritter is president of the Colerain Township Board of Trustees and a candidate for re-election.
We have hopefully heard the last from one of the most self-serving trustees in the history of Colerain Township, Bernie Fiedeldey. Bernie has been a cancer that has single-handedly struck down meaningful development projects in the township and, through his ethics violation, tarnished our township’s integrity. Most notable of Bernie’s disservice to the community is the devastation of Northgate Mall. Trustees had a pivotal moment of opportunity to bring outside investment to the mall property to renovate the central shopping district. Tax incremental financing sought by the mall was, in his opinion, too beneficial to the owners. Look at the property today – we are paying the price for his intolerable lack of judgment. Bernie ignorantly stood alone in opposition. Bernie also undermined an opportunity to secure a significant assisted living community. When I approached him as to why he opposed it, his answer was these types of facilities are often staffed by “undesirables” that we do not want bused into the community. The greatest evidence of Bernie’s opposition to eco-

nomic development has been in his consistent opposition to the township’s support of the Don C o l e r a i n Hughett T o w n s h i p Community B u s i n e s s Press guest Association. W h i l e columnist most succ e s s f u l townships and cities support their local business associations and chamber of commerce, Bernie has consistently opposed. Now Bernie is asking for you to trust his judgment and integrity in opposing Tom Hart for trustee. I have witnessed Tom Hart tirelessly, for many years, giving of his time and talents to the CTBA and others for the benefit of his fellow citizens. It is quite evident, from his past behavior, that Bernie opposes virtually everything that Tom Hart stands for. I, as well as many community leaders, have observed Tom Hart as a great communicator. He engages others using critical thought, embracing new ideas, creating a shared vision, to arrive at a solution that benefits the community. Bernie has quite effectively done the opposite and is proud of it.
We need businesses to invest in this community and be encouraged, not combated, by local government. Tom Hart has lived in the township his entire adult life, raised a family, grown a successful business and has given back countless hours of service to his community. Township trustees would like to take credit for the infrastructure redevelopment of Colerain Avenue. This project was, in fact, completed through the leadership of business leaders working collectively with the Ohio Department of Transportation. Joseph Road is another accomplishment of this group, not the trustees. The business district directly impacts the quality of all of our lives, provides a sense of community and a significant tax base. Trustees must foster an environment supportive of business. Tom Hart is known by ODOT and the Hamilton County Engineers office as a citizen who can collaborate effectively with others to gain consensus and get the job done. We have suffered the bickering and lack of leadership long enough and it is time to move forward with a proven leader that has the townships interest at heart. Don Hughett is president of the Colerain Township Business Association.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From A11 the six athletic award winners ($100 each) would disagree. Fiedeldey was responsible for preventing the Colerain Avenue streetscape project from being implemented to the detriment of the community. And now he bashes Hart, who has a history of volunteering to improve the township and who is a qualified professional. Hart deserves our vote in November as does Jeff Ritter who is up for re-election and is extremely well qualified and deserves our support. Kenneth Lohr Pebbleknoll Drive Colerain Township
Detzel, Denny for board
Pam Detzel is running for re-election, she is currently the vice president. Pam grew up in this district and has raised her family here. She is a strong, consistent, female voice needed on the school board. Her 12-year commitment to the school district speaks volumes. She believes in quality education for all, fights for the students and supports the teachers in our district. Pam serves on several committees within the district. She supports athletics and other extracurricular events and is an asset to the school board and the community. David Denny is running for a first-time election to the board. He grew up in this district and has children at Colerain. He serves on several committees and is an assistant cross country coach at Colerain. David values education and his community and would be a
new face on the board with new ideas. He is concerned about the financial challenges we are facing and has ideas about how to overcome them. Detzel and Denny a vote for our students, schools and community. Chris and Stacey Tepe Wuest Road Colerain Township
Fiedeldey wrong
What a totally erroneous commentary by trustee Fiedeldey. This column shows the tactics of, and explains why he is not seeking re-election. If you know Tom Hart, you know that this column is totally inaccurate. Look at the credibility of Bernie Fiedeldey, out-going trustee. Facing allegations of a conflict of interest complaint referred to the Ohio Ethics Commission by the Ohio state auditor, Fiedeldey declined to seek re-election. Is it just a coincidence that Fiedeldey supports Dennis Deters, whose brother (Joe Deters, Hamilton County prosecutor) is the one who would prosecute Fiedeldey for hiring his grandchildren? You have to admit, if facing a possible felony charge, it's not a bad idea to throw your support and money to the prosecutor's brother. Unlike some trustees, Tom Hart has the ability and the desire to work cooperatively with other elected officials, employees, developers and citizens. Tom Hart is the best candidate for Colerain Township trustee. He will be a welcome change to the face of Colerain Township. Kathy Mohr Waldon Drive Colerain Township

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 represent-
ing the site of a person’s struggles and choices. Saints – as they live out their lives the best they can – strive to 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 larger 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 enduring value. As Dr. James Hollis says, “We Father Lou are all, every Guntzelman day, faced with death, depresPerspectives sion 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 took place via e-mail. “ W e asked him to fill out a l e a s e agreement and an applicaHoward Ain tion. That Hey Howard! n e v e r happened. He went into great detail with stories that he was an Italian fossil hunter,” said Fast. 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
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.
suspicious when he said he was going to send a check for the first month rent, deposit and furniture for the 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.

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

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

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

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.
1 pound cooked chicken, diced or shredded 1-2 ribs celery, diced 1-2 green onions, sliced very thin Green grapes, cut in half, and salted cashew halves or pieces – you choose how much 1 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise or more to taste 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon or so each: Lawry’s seasoning salt and chicken base (use a

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.
