INDIAN HILL RESIDENTS RECYCLED 880.90 TONS IN 2015
Congratulations Indian Hill residents! In 2015, we
recycled 880.90 tons of metal, glass, plastic and paper.
Residents saved resources, conserved energy, and reduced
pollution by recycling.
The recycling efforts in Indian Hill:
 Conserved enough energy to power every
home in Indian Hill for 21 days.
 Reduced more air pollution than if every
household in Indian Hill rode their bicycle to
work for 16 weeks.
 Saved 6,694 trees from being harvested.
Recycling reduces pollution so the air we breathe is
cleaner; conserves natural resources so we will have them
to use in the future; and decreases the energy needed to
make new products. Recycling also boosts our local
economy by creating 169,000 jobs (4.3% of all jobs) just
in the State of Ohio.
On average, each household in Indian Hill recycled 853
pounds in 2015. That’s 25.26% of all the waste we
generate. If you would like to see even more material
recycled in 2016, check out the list below to make sure to
recycle all of these materials. Want to start recycling?
Indian Hill makes it easy! Call 831-3712 to request your
recycling cart today.
Good work, Indian Hill, our recycling efforts made a big
difference!
Recyclable Materials
 Plastic bottles and jugs (lids are OK if left on empty
bottle)
 Aluminum and steel cans
 Empty aerosol cans (remove and dispose of lids and
tips)
 Glass bottles and jars (remove and recycle lids
separately)
 Paperboard (cereal boxes, etc.)
 Junk mail and envelopes
 Magazines, catalogs, and phone books
 Newspapers
 Cardboard
 Office Paper
 Brown grocery bags
 Clean pizza boxes

SPRING MULCHING
Hyacinth and daffodils are peaking out
of the cold earth to brighten the spring
days. Our green thumbs eagerly want
to cultivate the dirt and lay down
mulch. But should you be mulching in
April? No. It is best to wait until midMay to mulch flowerbeds and trees. If mulch is applied
too early on cool soil, the soil will remain cool and root
growth will be slowed.
Mulching has many benefits:
 Reduces moisture loss
 Controls weed germination
 Protects roots from extreme temperatures
 Improves soil composition
 Inhibits disease
 Reduces “weed whacker” damage
 Looks good
Proper mulching is also critical in providing a healthy
environment for plants. A 2-inch layer on Southern Ohio
clay soil is sufficient to maintain proper moisture levels,
suppress weed growth and moderate soil temperatures.
Existing mulch should be raked and checked for the
correct depth. Raking will refresh the appearance of last
year’s mulch and may be all that you need. If you do
need to add mulch, avoid placing it up against tree trunks
or stems of trees, shrubs and flowers. Mulch piled too
deeply will stunt root growth, create high levels of
moisture and eventually lead to a diseased plant.
Spend time in April to clean out your beds, pick up sticks
and create your planting strategy. Mid-May is right
around the corner. Your plants and trees will be much
healthier if you remember this: Mulch in May

RANGER CHAT….SPRING REMINDERS
As we approach the spring, and the warm
weather, many people will take the opportunity to enjoy
the outdoors by running, walking or riding bikes. The
Rangers would like to take this opportunity to remind
everyone of some important safety guidelines that should
be followed.
For the runners and walkers, it is important to run
or walk toward traffic, as much as possible. This allows
you to see the traffic closest to you and to react as needed
for your safety. If a car approaches you and does not give
you room, you should stop and move off the side of the
road. It is important to remember that the roads are for
vehicular traffic and that a pedestrian must yield the right
of way. Avoid running in the dark. When you go out, be
sure to let someone know where you are running and
when you should be expected to return.
In Indian Hill, there is a law regarding wearing
reflective material while jogging or running during low
visibility times. According to Indian Hill Codified
Ordinances, 72.39: (A) Any person who is jogging or
running on or alongside the roads, or bicycle paths in the
City of the Village of Indian Hill during the period
beginning ½ hour before sunset and ending ½ hour after
sunrise shall wear reflective material on his or her front
and back. (B) Such reflective material shall be of a size
and characteristic and so maintained as to be visible from
all distances within 300 feet to 50 feet from such persons,
when such person is directly in front of a lawful lower
beam of vehicular headlamps. A violation of this can
result in a citation and a possible $95.00 fine.
The Rangers receive numerous calls with regards
to bicycle laws and such. The following are the basic
answers to many of the questions and concerns presented:
 Every person operating a bicycle upon a
roadway shall ride as near to the right side of
the roadway as practical, obeying all traffic
rules applicable to vehicles and exer cising
due care when passing a standing vehicle or
one proceeding in the same direction.
 Persons riding bicycles or motorcycles upon a
roadway shall ride not more than two abreast
in a single lane, except on paths or parts of
roadway set aside for the exclusive use of
bicycles or motorcycles.
 This section does not require a person
operating a bicycle to ride at the edge of the
roadway when it is unreasonable or unsafe to
do so.
It is important to remember that bicycles are considered
vehicles and have the same rights to the road, and with
that, they must operate under the same laws as a motor
vehicle. It is imperative that both motor vehicle and
bicycle operators share the responsibility and travel safely
together.

INDIAN HILL EQUESTRIAN CLUB HOSTS
BUILDING SUSTAINABLE TRAILS CLASS
Plan, build, and maintain trails for equestrian and hiking
use.
The Indian Hill Equestrian Club is hosting a one-day class
on Building Sustainable Trails on Saturday, April 16 in
Camp Dennison. Designed to consult on building and
maintaining non-motorized trails, the Sustainable Trails
Building class offers information on the basics of trail
design for anyone who would like to know more about the
subject. The class will include classroom, as well as
outdoor, hands-on activities. It is open to non-motorized
trail user groups interested in building or maintaining
trails in their communities.
The Sustainable Trail Class will be taught by Back
Country Horseman Executive Member and Certified Trail
Designer, Roy Cornett of Kentucky. The Trail Class
covers trail design, construction and maintenance of new
or existing trails. Design instruction includes a discussion
about grade recommendations, the importance of loops,
recommended distances for the different intended users,
recommended trail widths, and heights. The Construction
portion of the class will cover what types of tools and
equipment are viable options, and what kind of materials
are options for various applications. Trail Maintenance
instruction will address trail degradation issues such as
erosion, heavy traffic, tree and bush trimming, and other
facets of trail clearing and maintenance. The class will

CCDS BIRD PROJECT TAKES FLIGHT
Cincinnati Country Day School kindergarteners completed their curriculum-wide bird project by putting on a bird
exhibit. Students learned the characteristics of a bird, observed and cared for birds outside the classroom windows and
each chose one specific bird to study more closely. The class visited the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden to see and
learn more from bird experts and see birds up close. They ended their project by inviting parents and other Lower School
students to their classrooms to learn about the birds they chose to study. Wearing construction paper costumes of their
birds, the students read their written reports to visitors.

CCDS STUDENTS DONATE WATER TO FLINT RESIDENTS
When CCDS third-grader Imri Young of Loveland heard
the news about Flint, Michigan residents unknowingly
drinking lead-contaminated drinking water, she asked her
mom to explain how this could happen.
“I felt sad and, at first, I didn’t think that I could do
anything to help,” Imri said. “Then, I figured out I could
just collect water.”
So, she asked if her school would allow a drive for water
bottles to be sent to Flint. Head of Lower School Jen
Aquino and Imri's teacher, Laura Bunnenberg,
immediately gave a thumbs up to the cause.
Imri shared her concerns with her classmates and asked if
they could help. Classmate Evie Kranias of Indian Hill
helped Imri jumpstart her efforts by bringing in water and
others started helping, too. She and Evie teamed up and
talked about the project at an assembly, inviting other
Lower School students to donate water.
After two weeks, 12 cases and 10 gallons were collected
from school. In addition, Imri’s mother, Rean Young,
received donations from her co-workers, who donated
another 12 cases and $100 to buy more water. All of the
water was donated to Matthew 25: Ministries, which
shipped it to Flint.
Both girls were happy with the results, knowing they
helped the people of Flint. Evie said, “It feels really good
to do this.”
Evie Kranias and Imri
Young carry water donated
to Flint residents. Their
dads, Stratos Kranias and
Lamar Young helped them
carry and load water into
Young’s car. Matthew 25:

INDIAN HILL SCHOOL DISTRICT CHANGES SCHOOL START TIMES
TO ADDRESS TEEN HEALTH CONCERNS
Research shows starting school later is in line with
teens’ circadian rhythms, can lead to better health and
performance
Following an extensive evaluation process, the Indian Hill
Board of Education voted on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, to
change school start times beginning with the 2016-2017
school year. The new start times will be: 8:00 am – 2:45
pm for the High School and Middle School; 8:45 am –
3:30 pm for the Primary School; and 8:55 am – 3:40 pm
for the Elementary School.
The impetus for the change was research from the Centers
for Disease Control, the National Sleep Foundation, the
American Academy of Pediatrics, and others that show
teens are healthier and perform better the later school
starts in the day. These studies suggest earlier start times
can disrupt teens’ circadian rhythms.
As part of the process, the District reviewed research;
evaluated transportation options, the effects of the change
on the Primary and Elementary schools, and
extracurricular activities; and fielded an online survey to
gain parent, student, staff and community input. “It was
clear from the survey that the majority of respondents
want to move High School and Middle School start times
later,” says Indian Hill Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark
Miles. “Overall, over 60% felt this was a better move for
our students’ health.”
Four different options were evaluated, ranging from
maintaining the current start times (High/Middle School
7:35 am – 2:35 pm; Primary School 8:35 am – 3:35 pm;
Elementary School 8:45 am – 3:45 pm), to starting the
High/Middle Schools at 8:15 am and releasing at 3 pm.
Following a work session where District personnel
presented benefits, challenges and implications to the
board, the decision was made to change start times. School
Board member Elizabeth Johnston, who also chairs the
Operations Committee, says, “After considering various
parameters and requirements for all our students, the new
start times balance everyone’s needs and allow us to
provide an additional 25 minutes in the morning for
students in grades 6-12.”
The change will be implemented in August 2016 with the
start of the 2016-2017 school year.

INDIAN HILL HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR KYLE HUANG
ONE OF TOP MATH STUDENTS IN COUNTRY
IHHS Junior Kyle Huang of Indian Hill has done what only a handful of teens have

score from the American Mathematics Competition.
The AIME is a 15 question, 3-hour examination. Each answer is an integer number
between 0 to 999. The AIME is intended to provide challenge beyond that of the
American Mathematics Competition for high school students who have exceptional
mathematical ability.

The Indian Hill Women’s Civic Club
This year, the Indian Hill Women’s Civic Club will celebrate its 65th anniversary. The organization was founded in
1951 by nine ladies who lived in the then “New Acres” subdivision. (Algonquin & Graves Roads area), and it was
initially named the Red Bud Acres Garden Club. Within two years, the gardening aspect of the club was dropped and
the group became more social, holding parties to welcome new female neighbors. By the mid -1950s, service projects
became a focus of the group. The women provided landscaping for the Indian Hill School, which was all on one campus
then. Also, they made burn dressings for Civil Defense and bought uniforms for a knothole baseball team. The name
was changed to the Indian Hill Women’s Civic Club in 1956 to reflect its charitable nature. By the end of that decade,
membership had increased to 35.
In the 1960s, a decision was made not to exchange Christmas gifts amongst
members, but instead to purchase toys and food for the needy at that holiday.
And, a new tradition started - an auction. One member had a grand piano on
which she displayed her collection of Christmas decorations, and other ladies
decided they would like to purchase various pieces from her display. The ladies
started bidding on the items, and the high bidders took home the decorations.
This was the nucleus of the ongoing Christmas auction to raise funds for
charitable purposes.
In the 1970s, a history of the club was written to celebrate its 20th year. And
an annual yearbook with a club roster and a list of programs was provided to each member. During this decade the club
was nicknamed the “Girlie Club”. Generally meetings started with a homemade lunch in a hostess’ home, followed by a
program and business meeting. Every year culminated in a summertime party, which included spouses as guests.
Annually donations were made to the needy. Toys, food, and clothing were
distributed by members driving station wagons loaded with gifts at Christmas,
and even washing machines were given to a few families. Monies were
distributed to organizations such as the Condon School for Crippled Children and
the Mothers of Retarded Youth Foundation. During the 1980s, the club had a
volunteer project – playing bingo with residents at the Camargo Nursing Home in
Madeira, and providing prizes of jewelry, notions and personal items. They
visited once a month on Tuesday afternoons for years. In the 1990s, a January
gourmet luncheon tradition started, with each member bringing a favorite
homemade dish and recipe cards for all in attendance.
Civic Club member delivering toys & gifts
By the 21st century, the club membership had expanded all over Indian Hill.
Newer members included Village residents with an international background. Ladies from Sweden, Germany, the
Netherlands, and Switzerland joined the group and were active participants. Also about once a year, an offsite meeting
was held. Places that the club has toured include the Cincinnati Observatory, Waldschmidt House, Spring Grove
Cemetery, and Matthew 25 Ministries. Visits to these places were educational. Meetings in members’ residences
featured speakers. Recent topics were “All about OLLI”, “County Parks”, “Breakthroughs in Medicine” and “The
History of Music Hall”.
The club continues to live up to its name by disbursing thousands of dollars to worthy organizations. Club members
present ideas at the May meeting, and the group votes to decide where monies will go. The ladies of the Indian Hill
Women’s Civic Club have broadened their lives by gaining lifelong friends as well as by donating to charitable
organizations in the area. The group continues to make an impact on the greater community, and it deserves kudos for
doing so for more than six decades.

INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
PATRON PARTY
Every year the Indian Hill Historical Society traditionally says “Thank You” to its
Patron members and to all those who have contributed to the success of its projects and
programs. This year’s party was held on Sunday, March 13th at Breezy Hill, the lovely
home of Elisabeth and Kasey Kuhlman. Patrons enjoyed an evening of fabulous hors
d’oeuvres, fine wine and lively conversation.
Breezy Hill was designed by Guy Chaney Burroughs, a prominent architect, for Mrs.
George Eustis. This country manor house reflects both Tudor and Norman elements with
its gables, bays, balconies, dormers, and chimneys. The residence is constructed of
native fieldstone and has a variegated slate roof. It is asymmetrical in appearance. The
terraced backside of the home overlooking the trefoil pool and pond provides a spectacular view. The country breezes
wafting through the property atop Indian Hill most likely inspired the home’s name.
Mrs. Eustis’ dairy farm originally consisted of 110 acres. Jersey cows were raised on the farm which became
nationally known for its modern methods. Many students from Ohio State University were trained in agricultural
programs at Breezy Hill Farm, and it was a national meeting place for breeders from all over the country. The farm was
so famous in the dairy industry that it became a tourist attraction!
Continuing the American Dream: the Laura & Don Harrison Story
The Harrisons have lived the American Dream, with roots in rural Alabama, they moved around the country as Don
pursued his medical career, finally settling in Cincinnati. They have remained steadfast in their pursuit of personal and
professional goals, while using their talents to give back to the community. Join us as we “tip out hats” to and learn
about this remarkable couple’s accomplishments and philanthropy.
