CONSIDERATION OF ANDERSON TOWNSHIP MINE PROPOSAL
EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MORE HEARINGS
Village officials attended the November 6, 2008 and November 19, 2008 Anderson Township Board of Zoning
Appeals (ATBZA) hearings regarding a request for a conditional use permit and related variances required to
allow Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. to operate a deep limestone mine in the vicinity of Round Bottom Road and
Broadwell Road in Anderson Township. These hearings, which were continuations of several earlier hearings,
each lasted at least 5 hours, and the ATBZA adjourned still not having completed the proponent testimony from
Martin Marietta Materials.
The November 6th meeting involved testimony by Martin Marietta expert witnesses on the above ground
processing operation and site hydrology, and cross examination by attorneys representing the neighboring
communities of the Village of Indian Hill, Terrace Park, Newtown, and attorneys representing residents of
Anderson Township. The November 19th hearing was mainly dedicated to continued testimony by the applicant’s
hydrology expert, proponent testimony by Little Miami Incorporated, and cross examination. The meeting was
adjourned with Martin Marietta still scheduled to put on 4-5 more expert witnesses before any opposing testimony
will be considered by the ATBZA.
The ATBZA has set four additional hearing dates in order to hear the rest of the Martin Marietta presentation,
other proponent testimony, and opponent testimony. Given the level of interest in the case, and the pace of the
presentations and cross examinations, it is anticipated that a decision on the requests will not be made until
sometime early in the 2009. The additional hearing dates are December 4, 2008 (8:00 p.m.), December 17, 2008
(3:00 p.m.), January 8, 2009 (5:30 p.m.), and January 21, 2009 (5:30 p.m.). All the ATBZA meetings are held in
the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Anderson Township 45230.
Village officials and our legal counsel will continue to attend the hearings and express our concerns about
noise, truck traffic, light pollution, and dust pollution. We will also continue to advise residents of the status of the
case and any related Village actions in direct mailings to south Indian Hill neighborhoods, future Bulletin articles,
and on the Village webpage: www.ihill.org.
Any questions about the current status of the case may be directed to the City Manager’s office, 561-6500.
Robert Carl Vogt
1898-1985
Today, November 9, 2008, would have been my Dad’s 110th Birthday. My Dad died in 1985. He lived each
day fully accomplishing so many things in his life. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan in 1922, as
a Civil Engineer.
He came to Cincinnati immediately after the 1937 flood. He was the chief engineer for the U. S. Corps of
Engineer. He was in charge of planning, design, and construction of flood control projects along the Ohio River
and its tributaries; which included 4-5 states, reaching from Louisville, Kentucky to Parkersburg West Virginia.
After W.W. II he started a consulting engineering firm which evolved across the United States; offices were
nation wide and from coast to coast. His practice was heavily involved in the planning and design of the nation
wide interstate highway system that we use today.
At the height of the cold war, his firm was hired by the Federal Government to locate inter continental ballistic
missiles in mid-western states (Minuteman Missile Program.) His firm was part of the design team for the new
Federal building located on 6th Street in Cincinnati.
He was married to Gladys Schwartz Vogt for 56 years and they had two children, Bob and Marian Vogt
Savage.
He retired to his beloved home on Park Road where he raised pheasant, raspberries, asparagus and tomatoes.
My Dad, Robert Carl Vogt, was a man of many dimensions. He enjoyed business, family, and hosting dinner
parties at the University Club with friends. In addition to his children, he had eight grandchildren all college
graduates, and eighteen great grandchildren.

RANGER CHAT
Holiday Safety Tips From The Rangers
The holidays are rapidly approaching and the Rangers would like to remind everyone to stay safe during this
bustling season. Please take a moment to review the following reminders that are so important to keeping your
home and family safe. The tips cover several topics, such as home security, driving safety, and general information.
• Use your alarm system, not just during the Holidays, but throughout the year
• Be ALERT – report any suspicious people or vehicles to the Rangers
• Fill out a vacation report and drop it off at the Ranger Station – even for short trips and PLEASE try to avoid last minute
phone calls to make these reports. The dispatchers are busy with their regular duties and are sometimes deluged with
calls. You can fax a vacation report to the station at 561-9459.
• Remind children to keep doors locked at all times and not to answer the door for strangers. If they are not sure, call the
Rangers. Remember – don’t scare, educate!
• Use interior and exterior lighting when away for the evening.
• The Holidays are the time for parties, PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE.
• Drive defensively; remember everyone doesn’t listen to the above rule.
•
USE YOUR SEATBELT – that’s what it’s there for!
• Be aware of road conditions, they can change in an instant.
• Take a minute to speak to your teenage drivers and remind them of the importance of
driving safely. In the past year we have had many local teens injured in traffic accidents.
The Rangers would like to wish everyone a festive and joyous Holiday Season. Post the above guidelines on the
refrigerator or the family note board, where everyone sees them on a daily basis. If you have any questions or concerns,
do not hesitate to call the Ranger Station.
Lt. Mike Dressell
Indian Hill Rangers

PUBLIC WORKS
WINTER WEATHER DRIVING TIPS
The winter season is nearly upon us and the cold, snowy weather is surely not far behind. The Public Works
would like to take this opportunity to provide a few winter weather driving tips. When traveling in inclement
weather, there are a few things you can do to keep you and your family safe. Reducing speed and increasing
following distance will allow you increased time to stop your vehicle or to maneuver around an accident or
obstacle in your lane of travel. Also, be aware of shaded areas on the roadways. There are many tree canopies
throughout the Village that don’t allow enough sunlight to get to the pavement. The lack of sunlight keeps the
surface temperature low and is an optimal location for “black ice” to form. These areas are particularly dangerous
on hills and curves. Finally, pay special attention to the Village salt trucks when they are out treating the roadways.
We ask that you give us plenty of room and reduce your speed when passing an oncoming truck. When following
a salt truck, increase your following distance to keep the road salt from bouncing on to your vehicle. Also, if you
can’t see the mirrors on the truck, we can’t see you.
If you have any questions or areas that need the attention of the Public Works department, we encourage you
to call us at 831-3712. Thank You!
Winterizing Your Irrigation System
From Village Water Works
Lawn irrigation systems are a great way to help keep your yard and flowers vibrant throughout the summer
season. However, once cold weather arrives these systems require some general maintenance. In Ohio the freeze
zone is approximately 24 inches deep, and most irrigation lines are only buried 18 inches deep. In order to
properly maintain your irrigation system so the lines won’t freeze, you will need to have the irrigation lines blown
out annually. Also, if your backflow preventer is located outside, then it will need to be placed in indoors this
winter. All of these services can typically be provided by the irrigation company responsible for the installation
of your system.
GREEN AREAS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The end of the year is rapidly approaching and as the year draws to a close we are hoping that residents
will again remember our green spaces and how we attained this wonderful asset. Indian Hill has more
than 2500 acres of green space. These thousands of acres of woods, meadows, wetlands and riding trails
were given by residents who wished Indian Hill to remain a rural agricultural community.
The Green Areas Advisory Committee would like to remind residents that year end contributions of
land, cash or securities are most welcome. Such donations will have a beneficial tax consequence as
well as protecting our rural community. Please Contact Dave Couch at the Village Office (561-6511) for
more information.

MARTIN LAWRENCE LEONARD

Introducing The Indian Hill/Kenwood/Camp Dennison
Scout Emergency Response Team (SERT)
What is a SERT?
The Scout Emergency Response Team (SERT) is a group of qualifying and trained senior Boy Scouts and Venture Crew
members who respond in an organized fashion to emergencies and disasters in their own home town or neighborhood.
What will a SERT Member Do?
It will vary with the nature of the emergency. In general the SERT Team members will execute a pre-planned effort in
their own neighborhood to assist and support the elderly and disabled who may have difficulty coping with the effects of
extreme weather or unexpected disaster.
SERT Team members will have a list of elderly or disabled individuals in their own neighborhoods to check on and
assist (deliver food, drinking water or blankets) in a crisis or assist in cleanup after a crisis. The SERT Team member
may also be responsible for reporting on conditions to the local emergency responders when the situation warrants
additional expertise or attention.
Why form or join a SERT?
Because it’s the right thing to do. As we have seen over and over whether it’s the Blue Ash Tornado of the
late 1990’s or Hurricane
Katrina. Our local first responders (fire fighters, police and EMT’s) will likely need help in a large-scale crisis. I ask
who would be better positioned than a group of senior scouts? They are trained in first aid, dealing with hazardous outdoor
conditions, and dedicated to community service?
How will first responders and community members recognize a SERT member?
SERT members will carry out their duties in Class-A uniforms and may be issued special SERT team caps, windbreakers
and/or armbands.
If you are interested in being included on a list of local residents who like the help of local Boy Scouts during
the next weather related or general community emergency please call the number below. We will then arrange a “fair
weather” introduction to the Boy Scout(s) who are likely to assist you in a crisis so you can become familiar with one
another before the need for support arises.

JOIN THE VOCAL ARTS ENSEMBLE
FOR AN “OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS”
Warm your holiday spirits with an traditional Holiday
Concert led by VAE Founding Director, Elmer Thomas.
The program includes works from the Renaissance to
the present day, including Tomás Luis de Victoria’s O
Magnum mysterium, Jan P. Sweelink’s Hodie Christus
natus est, Anton Bruckner’s Ave Maria, Gustav Holst’s
Lullay my Liking as well as new carol setting by
American composers David Conte, Stephen Paulus and
Alice Parker (VAE Visiting Composer in March 2009).
The program’s centerpiece is Benjamin Britten’s
well-known A Ceremony of Carols with Elizabeth
Motter, harp. Since its completion in 1942, A Ceremony
of Carols has been one of the world’s best-loved seasonal
choral works. Britten composed it during a sea voyage
from America to England; the strong religious element
that had developed in Britten over the years reached its
maturity in this reflection on the spiritual qualities of
the traditional English Christmas.
The final part of the program includes local children’s
choirs and a delightful medley of carols, both known
and unknown. Filled with delightful medieval English
texts and invigorating dance rhythms, this celebration
of the holiday season is sure to heighten the audience’s
spirits! PERFORMANCE SPECIFICS

CELEBRATE THE ENVIRONMENT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
- Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services
Music, decorations, an abundance of sweets: while some things about the holidays will never change, there are still
plenty of ways to make old family traditions a bit more eco friendly. The Hamilton County Department of Environmental
Services would like to offer a few simple and creative suggestions to help you and your family reduce waste and make this
holiday season a little greener.
Reduce vehicle emissions by shopping smart
Develop a strategy to keep air pollution down and shopping on track. First, create a list of those you need to buy for and
use it to search the Web or Sunday paper for gift ideas. By determining what you need and where to shop ahead of time,
you can find the best deals, consolidate trips and skip the unnecessary pit stops that keep you on the road.
Also, try to plan group shopping trips. Carpooling with family and friends is a sensible way to save on gas and reduce
air pollution at the same time.
Think outside the gift box
Each year, an extra 25 million tons of waste is produced between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. To cut back on your
waste this season, consider handmade, vintage or alternative gifts—a gift card, for example, or a membership to a local
gym or pool. If greeting cards are your thing, try looking for cards made from recycled materials. You can also send out
electronic greeting cards: they are fun, instant and—best of all—waste free.
Creative gift wrapping is another easy way to go green. Use recyclable and reusable materials such as newspaper,
magazines or pretty tins and containers to wrap gifts. You can accent the wrapping with reusable decorations such as beads
or ribbons, or incorporate a unique artistic flair by drawing your own patterns and designs on recycled paper.
Eliminate waste by giving back
The holidays leave behind plenty of leftovers that can be used resourcefully. If you’re hosting a get-together this year,
remember to portion food carefully before the party and send guests home with any excess food. You can also recycle
bottles, cans and other holiday waste, including wreaths and trees, and compost any other organic materials.

Don’t Be Late for a Very Important Date
Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati presents
Family-Friendly Holiday Musical, Alice
in Wonderland, December 3-January 4
In celebration of over ten years of creating
holiday musicals specifically written with
multigenerational appeal, one of Ensemble
Theatre of Cincinnati’s (ETC) most popular
family-friendly holiday productions,
Alice in Wonderland hops back on stage
December 3 through January 4. In the
tradition of ETC’s “fractured fairytale”
holiday productions, Alice in Wonderland
is a modern spin on the classic fairytale
by Lewis Carroll. This sassy version is the
toe-tapping tale of a lost girl, a cool cat, a
wild hare, and the original “dancing queen.”
Moreover, this year’s version features
several new songs along with the return of
several Cincinnati’s favorite actors reprising
their roles for returning and new audiences
alike.
ETC will offer a convenient performance
schedule for families with many weekend
matinees, Sunday early evening shows,
and 7 p.m. evening shows throughout the
holiday season. ETC’s Producing Artistic
Director D. Lynn Meyers says, “What’s
so great about David and Joe’s fairytale
creations is that the lessons are timeless
and will always appeal to and engage
new audiences, especially all the children
who get to explore this revamped Alice in
Wonderland for the first time. Alice needs
to learn a lesson and each of the show’s
characters, as well as the audience, become
part of her learning this lesson.”
Box Office & Ticket Information
Tickets may be purchased online at
www.cincyetc.com, by calling the ETC
box office at (513) 421-3555, or in

From the Indian Hill Historical Society
The Story of Kroger Hills Park
Buckingham Lodge
1861
In June 1914, B. H. Kroger generously gifted the Cincinnati Park Board an 82 acre parcel of land with the provision
that the property be used for a park “for the benefit of the citizens of Cincinnati”. Located in Columbia Township, the land
extended from Indian Hill Road to Wooster Pike and was roughly between Willow Hills Lane and Indian Ridge Road/
Councilrock Lane.
That summer the Anti-Tuberculosis League started Kroger Hill Camp, using the property during June, July, August,
and September to house and care for anemic children. Two years later the League made improvements to the camp, enabling
it to accommodate more children and perform its mission more effectively. Eventually five buildings were constructed, as
well as two or three swimming pools, with an entry road from Wooster Pike. Here youths from poor neighborhoods were sent
to camp, where they played in the country, ate wholesome foods, were exposed to fresh air, and had respite from crowded
unhealthy inner city conditions common in the meat packing and industrial areas. The belief was that by building up children’s
resistance in the summer, fewer would be afflicted with tuberculosis in the winter. The Anti-Tuberculosis League was engaged
in preventative health care and charity. Christmas Seals were sold to help sponsor some campers. Kroger Hill Camp was
active for 27 years, with
about 80 children attending
each session, until it closed
in 1942.
Then Camp Joy, which
initially began as a church
sponsored summer camp
in 1938, moved to Kroger
Hills Park from 1946 -1956.
They did not pay any rent.
Though Camp Joy sought
funds from the Park Board
to improve the depreciated
buildings and facilities, the Board declined. Still Camp Joy appreciated using Kroger Hills Park for a decade.
From the late 1960s to the 1980s, the status of Kroger Hills Park was deliberated. First the Village of Indian
Hill sought to swap land in Madisonville for the park; then it considered buying it from the Park Board. After years of
discussion, a plan emerged. The City of Cincinnati conveyed the park to the B. H. Kroger heirs, who then turned it over
to the Nature Conservancy, which held it in trust until matching funds were given for the development of a Little Miami
River park, at which time the Nature Conservancy transferred the property to the state. This complicated transaction was
completed in 1973, and Kroger Hills became the first state park in Hamilton County.
By 1990 the park has expanded to 214 acres, as additional land was acquired between Wooster Pike and the Little
Miami River. Currently the Hamilton County Park District has a long term lease on Kroger Hills Park from the ODNR,
and it manages the property. The original portion is a nature preserve, while the newer eastern portion across Wooster
Pike is seasonally mowed. There are no trails at Kroger Hills Park, however it is managed and has been protected from
development. A current seasonal project is the removal of Amur Honeysuckle. The entire park has been mapped, and data
compiled about the plants, reptiles and amphibians within its boundaries.
Since 2004, a controlled bow hunting program has occurred in the original portion of the park. Hunters must
qualify before they are permitted access for a two week period between late September and February 1. The long term goal
is to promote native habitat, to entice grassland birds to the flat bottom eastern portion, and maintain a high diversity of flora
and fauna on the wooded western hillside.
The most unique feature of the park is the quality of its trees. It is mature woodland comparable to a near climax
forest, containing beech, maple, oak and hickory, some of which are over 200 years old. Kroger Hills Park is a beautiful but
little known local nature preserve with a fascinating history.
