Ohio Senate Republicans have chosen a veteran legislator to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Robert Schuler in June. Shannon Jones, a state representative from Springboro, was sworn in as 7th District senator last week. SEE STORY, A2
Another Neyer Properties building may be going up in Sycamore Township. In an open house for residents, representatives from Neyer Properties presented plans for a third office building in Kenwood Crossing on Pine Road off of East Galbraith Road. The original plan for the site presented in 2003 when the second building was built called for a three-story office building. The new plan for the third building has been changed to two stories. The property was rezoned in 2003 as office space for the
three-story building, but will need to be adjusted to accomodate the new plan. Ann Farris, a resident of Monroe Drive adjacent to the proposed building, said that in the original plan, Neyer Properties had sent her a letter saying they would buy her house and tear it down to make more room for the planned office building. She said that she has heard nothing else about a buyout with the new plan. “I would like them to buy me out before I would move out,” Farris said. “If they buy me out, they can build whatever they want.” She said as a resident she does not like the idea of the new building, but will not oppose the rezoning and building process. The building will be 35,638 square feet and add 125 parking spaces. Seth Pirie, a development proj-

The Kenwood Road reconstruction will begin next month and be done in three phases, working from north to south.
To place an ad, call 242-4000.
Madeira officials expect the reconstruction of a portion of Kenwood Road to begin in September and end a year later. City Council voted Aug. 10 to award a $3,742,777 contract for the work to John R. Jurgensen Construction Inc. of Sharonville. The contract also includes resurfacing all of Cherokee Drive, Fulsher Lane, Arnett Drive, Johnson Street and Nuevelle Lane. Madeira has secured $125,000 from Hamilton County and money in an amount still to be determined from the state to help finance the project. Greater Cincinnati Water Works will pay for the resurfacing of Cherokee, Fulsher, Arnett and Johnson since it is necessary
because of a Water Works waterline project. The portion of Kenwood Road to be rebuilt extends from Euclid Avenue to Kenwood Hills Drive. “Kenwood Road is one of the city’s major collector streets and is used by thousands of cars each day,” City Manager Tom Moeller said. “It has been in a serious state of decline over the past several years. “With the receipt of funding from the State of Ohio and Hamilton County, we can now move this critical infrastructure project forward to improve both safety and usability,” Moeller said. Sidewalks will be added on the east side of the street, which Moeller said will improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists.
“The sidewalk is a major link to improving the ‘walkability’ of the community in connecting our neighborhoods to the central business district, city parks and schools,” Moeller said. Detours will be announced. “We will be meeting with the contractors in the next couple of days to review the construction schedule and to discuss traffic control,” Moeller said. “It is our intent to do the project in three sections – Euclid to Dawson (Road), Dawson to Shawnee Run (Road), Shawnee Run to Kenwood Hills. “Each section would be closed to all traffic except for residents in those sections,” Moeller said. “The detours would be established as those sections are closed.”

She played a critical role in the development of the state energy bill last year, fighting to keep energy costs in check for Ohio families and businesses and served as the House’s point person on Medicaid.
A fiscal conservative, Jones believes Medicaid costs must be contained not only to ensure the long-term stability of the program, but also to avoid a future tax increase. In response to the Joe the Plumber scandal in which public officials accessed the records of a private citizen for political purposes, Jones sponsored and passed the new state law to ensure the private information held by state government agencies is better protected. “I am honored and humbled to have been given the

Bierman plans menu, food sales for two districts By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Deer Park City Schools food service director Mary Lynne Bierman has more on her plate for the upcoming school year. The school district recently teamed up with Reading City Schools to share Bierman’s services, splitting the
cost of her salary and benefits for her work with both districts. Bierman said the transition to working with two districts will not be too difficult with both districts using similar point-of-sales programs in the cafeteria and serving similar menus. “It’s just doing more of the same work,� Bierman said. When planning a menu for the school districts, Bierman draws ideas from other schools’ lunch programs as well as making sure that all menus meet the requirements of the National School Lunch program.
The program, which provides low-cost or free lunches to students in public and nonprofit, requires lunches to meet one-third of the recommended dietary allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories. It also says no more than 30 percent of a student’s calories come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. Bierman said she tries to incorporate student favorites which include pizza, mozzerella sticks shrimp poppers and the Deer Park favorite, homemade calzones. She tries to include

Mary-Lynne Bierman, food service director for Deer Park City Schools and Reading City Schools, plans lunch menus and organizes point-of-sales programs for both districts starting with the 2009-2010 school year. menu items that are reduced fat or whole grain, but still cater to the students’ tastes. Bierman attends food shows and conducts taste tests at the schools to determine what foods to add to the menu. Last year, Deer Park added Asian chicken and eggrolls with fried rice after students approved in a taste test. To provide healthier foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, Bierman says it is sometimes more expensive. She said that with the school districts saving money by working together to pay for Bierman’s salary and benefits, it opens up the budget to provide better food for the students. “(The partnership) makes the school lunch programs successful and self-sufficient,� Bierman said.

The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe. Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything”
2) “The music of the spheres,” the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, “Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were on to something. There is

such a music, and it’s the note B-flat.” Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a
“cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.”

One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesn’t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength.

As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence.

How to pickle that peck of peppers
When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters Sonia Ervin, Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilson’s mom. Ron is our gardening columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ron’s radio show. Nell’s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nell’s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if you’ve never canned, I hope you try a
b a t c h . You’ll be glad you did when you compare the price of pickled peppers Rita with home Heikenfeld canned. T h e Rita’s kitchen bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly what’s in them.
Nell Wilson’s famous pickled peppers
*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; I’ll start out with half
a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda). If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my mom’s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so it’s up to you. As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.
Sterilizing jars
Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until you’re ready to fill.
Brine
6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 â „2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)* Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars.

After all, it’s your health care – or is it?
The government is determined to enact a health care plan that will greatly affect all of us and our children. A critical examination of what we will get and how it will affect us is extremely important. A serious mistake may become a disaster. The reality is that the government makes decisions based on electoral necessity. Pandering to an electorate that is increasingly dependent on the government for basic needs empowers those in control and enslaves those in need. Despite glowing reports from the liberal press, the reality of government controlled health care is only another poorly run government empowerment.

Do you think cities owe it to members of volunteer committees and boards to explain why they may not be reappointed to their positions? “Mr. Horwitz had served on the Planning Commission for three years and during that time not once did he complain to the Madeira council or to the administration and personnel committee about their selection process for volunteers. Only when it appears the administration & personnel and council lost confidence in his ability to best serve Madeira and its residents did Mr. Horwitz suddenly have a complaint. Ironically, it’s Mr. Horwitz’s veiled motive (and apparent vendetta?), and not transparency, for raising the matter now.” Emmes09 What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class.

When I was in graduate school I once referred big government as “Uncle Sam’s Plantation.” I was referring to the fact that once the government became the only means of survival for the poor, economic slavery was the result. Economic slavery was little different than the actual slavery ended by the Civil War, except that it embraced all races. The comment was not well received!

You can help cut smog It thrives during summer. You can barely see it coming, but at its worst it has been known to kill. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, but it does not discriminate – affecting every person it comes into contact with. What is this silent pollutant? Smog. The word itself comes from a combination of smoke and fog, two things that have a similar look to smog’s hazy appearance. However, the white vapor that makes up smog is actually a form of air pollution. “Smog is a very serious issue in our region, negatively affecting the health of our residents and the environment we live in,” said Steve Pendery, president of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments and Campbell County executive judge. “It’s a concern that should be on the minds of everyone in the area – especially during this time of year.” Smog can be caused by a variety of chemical reactions, but in the Greater Cincinnati area the main component is ground-level ozone. This type of ozone is the very same gas that is found miles above earth’s surface in the ozone layer, but when ozone is close to the ground it is labeled as groundlevel ozone or “bad” ozone. Smog and ground-level ozone are both created when heat and sunlight react with vehicular and
industrial emissions, causing dangerous effects on people’s health and the environment. Smog affects the lungs’ working capacity, Emily making it harder Feldman to breath. It can cause Community shortness of Press guest breath, pain, columnist wheezing and coughing as well as nose and eye irritation. Inhaling smog can create longer-lasting health problems, such as, chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Throughout the year, air pollution levels are monitored. When there are high levels of emissions in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals of the pollution. Local media outlets announce when a smog alert is in effect - but smog alert information can also be found by calling 1-800-621SMOG. Residents can also sign up to receive an e-mail or fax alert by calling the number. Smog is particularly harmful for children, the elderly and people with asthma or respiratory problems because their lungs are more sensitive to air pollution. It is recommended that these

On the other hand, if you have managed to stay relatively wealthy in spite of the taxes needed to support this system, you could engage in “medical tourism.” India already has first class hospitals for that purpose. Other countries will follow. If you can’t use “medical tourism” Uncle Sam has a place for you on his plantation. If you are not productive, you will be expendable.

There are also a variety of ways to reduce individual air pollution. “By staying informed and making simple adjustments to our daily routine, we can all help reduce this harmful form of pollution,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “Keeping track of smog alerts helps us know when those adjustments are crucial.” Some of these adjustments include walking, riding a bike or carpooling to reduce vehicle emissions and filling up vehicles and using gasoline powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m. More information about smog and tips to reduce air pollution can be found at www.DoYourShare. org or at 1-800-621-SMOG.

Moeller eyes GCL, state titles in 2009 By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The 2008 Moeller Crusaders had a lot of questions heading into the first season under new head coach John Rodenberg. The 2009 Crusaders have considerably fewer as M o e l l e r returns a considerable amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, makRush ing the Crusaders one of the top teams in the city. “We’ve w o r k e d awfully hard in the weight room and the Galvin seniors have been great leaders in the winter and summer. With all the returning starters, we hope to have a lot of success,” Rodenberg said.

The offense should be balanced and will be led by Notre Dame-bound Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix threw for 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2008. Running backs Richie Dyer and Jeff Aubin combine to provide a talented running game for the Crusaders as the duo led the Moeller ground attack in 2008. The offensive line has a pair of strong standouts in
Division I collegiate prospects Jeff Tanner and Ali Kassem. Ball State-bound tight end David Schneider should be a big target in the passing game as Schneider led the Crusaders in receiving touchdowns in 2008. Wideout Trent Williford is another receiver with big play capabilities. On defense, the Crusaders will be led by a strong front seven. The defensive line is led by two Division I collegiate prospects, senior Marcus Rush and junior Jessie Hays. The linebackers for Moeller are led by another Division I collegiate prospect, Nick Galvin. Kendall Walker and Garret Mize are two more big-play linebackers for the Crusaders. Moeller also returns cornerback Ethan McAlpine, who was one of the leaders in interceptions in the GCL in 2008. The schedule will be tough again for Moeller in 2009. “People don’t call us ot

Elder is looked at as the other power in the GCL South in 2009, but Rodenberg said fans shouldn’t sleep on St. Xavier. “St. X has a chip on their shoulder and that scares me,” he said. “They aren’t used to struggling like they did last year and will come out guns blazing. Watch out for them.” Rodenberg said the 2009 Crusaders will be bigger, especially in the trenches and that the year of experi-
Playoffs the goal for Mustangs By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Madeira Mustangs returned to the winning side in 2008 with a 6-4 record and finished a game out of the playoffs. A playoff berth is one of Madeira’s main goals in 2009 and second-year head coach Tony Arcuri said he thinks the Mustangs are capable of delivering. “We’re certainly capable of being a playoff team,” he said. “We have a lot of key personnel back and we’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen.” Madeira should be very strong on the offensive and defensive lines as the Mustangs return most of their starters on the line. Chief among the defensive play-
makers is end Eric Rolfes, who led the CHL in sacks in 2008 with 12. Whereas Arcuri the offense came along slowly and was carried by a veteran defensive unit in 2008, the offense will be expected to carry the load while inexperienced players on the defense catch up to speed. “We will be much more effective offensively early on,” Arcuri said. The team returns Ryan Santoro, who was second on the team in receiving in 2008 and will insert Patrick McLanahan at quarterback. “He will be real special, he’s capable of running and
throwing the ball,” Arcuri said. Another key target will be Rob Misleh. A 6-foot-4inch basketball player, Misleh is new to the Mustangs and will give them a big target in the passing game. Arcuri said a quick start to the 2009 season will be important for Madeira as the Mustangs had a sluggish begin to the 2008 campaign and lost a close game to Shroder. The Mustangs have a tough slate that includes two great CHL teams in Wyoming and Indian Hill and two non-conference teams that were playoff teams in 2008 in CHCA and North College Hill. “It’s a tough road and we have some quality opponents outside the league, but we have to take on teams

ence with the players has helped everyone get used to his system. “Everyone knows where they fall in and where to go,” he said. “I’ve been real pleased with how things have worked out.” Rodenberg said the program puts a lot of pressure on itself to contend for a GCL title and a state title and that the Crusaders have their sights set on both in 2009. He also said that any team lives and dies with a senior class and that Moeller’s class of 2009 is a good one. “I really like the senior class,” he said. “They are positive and determined. I’m really pleased with this class and fans are going to see a good football team.”

Indian Hill returns talent but has holes By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The most important part of Indian Hill High School’s football season is the non-conference slate. The first three games of the season, against McNicholas, Theisen Valley View and Turpin high schools, will more than likely decide the Braves’ postseason fate. Indian Hill lost two of their first three in 2008 and missed the playoffs. “A season can be made in those first three weeks,” new head coach Mike Theisen said. “We use last season as a motivating tool. Two of those first three games have to be victories for us.”

Bauer ran for 366 yards and six touchdowns in five games in 2008. Bauer had another 230 yards receiving and missed five games due to injury. Bauer is one of the top weapons for the Braves’ offense in 2009. “He had an excellent winter and summer and is looking extremely good,” Theisen said. “He’s a 1,500yard rusher if he stays healthy.” The difficult job of replacing three-year quarterback

Deer Park receiver Daniel Sporing goes airborne to bring down a pass during summer practice for the Wildcats.
Deer Park kicked off its 1-9 season in 2008 with only two returning starters. But a lot has changed in the year since. The situation couldn’t be more different in 2009 as eighth-year head coach Barry Pett y j o h n Pettyjohn returns nine offensive starters and seven defensive starters this fall. Led by a core of senior linebackers, Pettyjohn isn’t ready to predict wins and losses, but he knows his team is much improved. “We have great upperclassmen, but we just don’t

We need to avoid costly mistakes.” Returning senior linebackers for Deer Park include Ben Flamm, Robby Adkins, R.J. King, Jake Dryer and Brandon Donahue. “Our linebackers are awesome,” Pettyjohn said simply and excitedly about the senior group. King led Deer Park with eight sacks and forced three fumbles last season. Returning on the defensive line for Deer Park are sophomore Isaah Haeden, senior Justin Macke and sophomore Tyler Ross. Headen finished with five sacks last fall closely followed by Adkins’ total of four sacks. Sophomores Will Hungerland and Dewayne York are battling for a starting job on the defensive

Sophomore Brandon Reeves, freshman Mike Pope and freshman Antwan Piphus help solidify the secondary for Deer Park. Offensively, Macke, Jack Miskimens and Sean Madden give Deer Park plenty of size up front. Macke is a 290-pound tackle. Miskimens plays at center and also weighs 290
pounds. Transferring from Mariemont since last season, Madden weighs in at 320 pounds and plays at tackle. Ross and Adkins also return on the offensive line. Senior running backs Mike Eaken and Ben Flamm are also returning starters. Junior Dan Sporing returns to take the snaps at quarterback. “Daniel has the arm to
throw it and we will try to keep it simple,” Pettyjohn said of best utilizing Deer Park’s size. Senior receiver Billy Baker and sophomore receivers Tyler Osborne and Miquil Burton will be key new additions for Deer Park’s offense. “We have a lot more experience and we are excited to see what they can do,” Pettyjohn said.

The Bombers have been there before – and now they want to get back. In December 2007, the St. Xavier High School football team capped its second undefeated season in three years, won a state title and was widely considered one of the top teams in the country. In October 2008, the Bombers lost three of their last four regular season games – all by three points – and finished 4-6 and missed the playoffs. “(Our players) want to forget about last year,” head coach Steve Specht said. “This is a new year with new opportunities.” Leading the renaissance will be senior quarterback Luke Massa, who suffered a broken collarbone at Louisville Trinity last September and was lost for the season. Providing protection up front is Matt James (6-8, 280), who is considered one of the top offensive lineman in the nation and is ranked the fourth-best overall player in the 2010 class by Ohio High Magazine. “(Massa and James) bring experience,” Specht said. “They both started on our ‘07 state team, and they understand the expectations of the program.” Other returning senior starters include Nick Weston (DB), Will Carroll (DB) and Nigel Muhammed (DL). St. X also hopes to get production from juniors Daniel

Braswell (RB) and Steven Daniels (FB/LB), as well as seniors Jeff Kraemer (WR) and Alex Longi (WR/TE). “We’re still trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle,” Specht said. As has become the custom, the Bombers face a daunting schedule this season; in addition to their reg-
ular GCL foes, St. X will square off against Indianapolis Cathedral, Lakewood St. Edward and Cleveland St. Ignatius. With such a tough weekto-week schedule, Specht remains focused on the big picture. “Our goal never changes – we want to get better,” he said. “I believe when you’re coaching kids, the goal should always be to get better. We’re trying to go 1-0 every week.” The Bombers will try to go 1-0 in their seasonopening showdown with Colerain at Nippert Stadium on Aug. 28. St. X came up short in that same setting last year, 13-8. “Colerain is one of the best teams in the state,” Specht said. “I think we’re
going to go in and compete our tails off. Win, lose or draw, (our fans) will be proud of us.”

The Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football team returns a dozen starters – six on offense and six on defense – from a squad that steamCoach Eric Taylor r o l l e d through the 2008 regular season unblemished en route to an 11-1 finish. Senior quarterback Alec Swartz is back under center for the Eagles’ high-octane offense, which scored just under 33 points per game last year. Swartz, who threw for more than 2,000 yards as a junior, earned All-State honors and was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division V Player of the Year. He appears primed for another big season, especially since his top target, senior Andrew Perkins, returns at wide receiver. Perkins, a first-team allstate performer, led the team in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns last season. “We return the majority of our skill position players from last year’s team,” head coach Eric Taylor said. The Eagles’ defense, which allowed nine points or fewer six times last year, figures to be stout yet again, as the team’s top tacklers – seniors Doyen Harris and

Max led CCD with 1,163 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns last fall. He also accounted for 627 yards receiving. Alex threw for almost 1,200 yards and rushed for more than 400 yards as a senior.

Lawrence Ervin is also a returning starter for the Indians. Ervin scored 36 points for the Indians as a junior. On the offensive line, seniors Matt Lesser and Clint Thomas are the only players returning for Dunn. “We don’t have a lot of size on the line and they are young,” Dunn said. “We will be depending a lot on the young guys on the line.” Defensively, Ervin returns to the Indians’ secondary after tallying 100 tackles including 75 unassisted in 2008. Junior inside linebacker Wyatt Tiffany finished with 74 tackles last fall and returns to anchor the Indians’ defense alongside Ervin, Dunn said. Lesser and Thomas, both defensive linemen, finished with 45 tackles and 40 tackles, respectively. Thomas also produced nine sacks for CCD. “I think we still have to grow a lot as a team,” Dunn said while looking forward to games against 2008 playoff teams including North College Hill, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy and Lockland. “We have to have a good night to beat any one of those three teams, but it would be nice,” Dunn added.

Cincinnati SportsMedicine will have Saturday morning sports injury clinics throughout the Fall sports season Hearing a “pop” coming down from a rebound
and colliding with another player last year, Shaun A., a junior small forward from Miami University-Hamilton knew exactly what had happened and who to call. “I tore my right ACL in high school and our team athletic trainer recommended Dr. Marc Galloway at Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center,” says Shaun. “That surgery made my knee stronger than ever. So when I heard the same “pop” in my other knee I knew what to do.” “It is not uncommon for a patient to suffer an ACL tear in the opposite knee,” remarks Marc Galloway, M.D. sports orthopaedic surgeon at CSMOC. “This is a phenomenon we are hoping to address by developing specific prevention programs. The good news is Shaun responded as well to his second procedure as his first and the strong dedication he showed in both recoveries can be seen on the court this season.” “Dr. Galloway and the rehab team helped me focus on my goals and to reach them. My left knee is actually stronger now after the surgery. Both knees are feeling great and the quad and jumping exercises they had me do made my jumping better. I’m looking forward to playing my senior year.”

A parent’s worst nightmare is seeing their child in
anguish for any reason. For Debbie K. of Pennsylvania, it was watching her daughter, Bethany face the harsh reality that her collegiate soccer career was over, one year too soon. A three-time American Mideast Conference Player of the Year, Bethany was sidelined due to excruciating knee pain and failed surgeries. Call it coincidence or call it fate, Bethany’s aunt in Los Angeles, California also suffered knee pain and researched Dr. Frank Noyes’ name from the internet and recommended him to her niece. Dr. Noyes discovered a rare, overlooked, complication with Bethany’s prior meniscus repair procedures and was able to restore her knee and relieve her unrelenting pain. “Bethany had multiple complex knee injuries that are rare to see and require a special level of training and expertise found only in an orthopaedic center of excellence,” says Frank R. Noyes, M.D., Director, CSMOC. “Our patient focused treatment included proven clinical, surgical and rehabilitation options. This care, combined with Bethany’s determination and motivation, produced a remarkable outcome.” How did Bethany do following Dr. Noyes’ surgery? She capped her career at Houghton College with a 4th Player of the Year honor and was the leading all-time scorer among other titles. “It was a true miracle what he was able to do for her,” says Debbie K. “For someone who thought her career had ended too soon, it was a miraculous ending for my daughter.”

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
