NEWS ALERT
From Chief Chuck Schlie, Indian Hill
Rangers
The Village of Indian Hill is now
providing a telephone based warning
system for severe weather to Village
residents. “ThunderCall” will alert
Indian Hill residents, who have
signed up for this free service, within
seconds of any National Weather
Service warning for tornado, severe
thunderstorm, flash flood, and winter
storm warnings. Due to the fact that
the system is fully automated (based on
information received from the weather
service via satellite) residents will
receive a recorded message alerting
them prior to weather radio activation,
sirens and media announcements in
most situations (calls begin 5 seconds
after the warning is issued). The

Dogs on Leash
The park management at Grand Valley Preserve is requesting cooperation from all guests of the preserve. It is
mandatory that all dogs be kept on a leash during the bird-nesting season. The preserve not only has numerous
species of waterfowl nesting, but also has Woodcock, Killdeers, and the rare Cricket Frogs that nest on the
shoreline. Guests will be given only one warning. On the second violation, they will be requested to leave the
preserve. The leash restriction will be in effect until July. The restriction will then be examined to ascertain if
a permanent leash requirement is necessary. Updated information will be posted on this site. A major part of
the mission statement at Grand Valley is to protect the wildlife and the environment by maintaining low impact
activities at the preserve. Please help us achieve our goal
APRIL 5, 2007 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 4
Crime Prevention 101…
This month, I would like to focus on the idea of IDENTITY THEFT.
In 2005, Ohio ranked 29th with regards to Identity Theft victims by State. In Ohio, there were about 7,155 victims. The
top three states were Arizona, Nevada, and California. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported more than 685,000
complaints of fraud and identity theft and $680 million stolen. The complaints filed resulted in 37% for identity theft and
63% for fraud. The internet was used for nearly half of the fraud cases, accounting for nearly 46% of all complaints and $335
million in losses. 73% of all scams used the internet as the initial way to contact potential victims. The top fraud scams were
Internet Auctions (12%), Foreign Money Offers (8%), and Shop-at-Home/Catalog Sales (8%).
In cases involving Identity Theft, credit card fraud was the most common form, being 26% of all cases. After credit cards,
phone or utility frauds (18%) and bank fraud (17%), round out the top three. The average victim lost $2,412, but there were
49 people who reported their losses in excess of $1 million. These numbers are down from past years. Identity theft grew by
only 3.5% in 2005, when compared to 15% growth in 2004 and a 33% growth in 2003.
Preventing identity theft can be simple….
1) Shred (preferably with crosscut shredder) all of your important papers, including preapproved credit applications.
Shred credit card receipts and other documents that may contain any personal information about you or your family
members.
2) Be careful at ATM’s and when using your credit or debit cards. Be aware of people “shoulder surfing” for account and
“pin” numbers.
3) It is recommended to drop your outgoing mail off at a US mailbox or post office, as opposed to using your home
mailbox.
4) Put a password on all accounts and do not use your mother’s maiden name.
5) Check your credit report at least once a year. You get one free credit report per year. To obtain yours, visit www.
annualcreditreport.com or call (877) 322-8228.
If you become a victim of Identity Theft, here’s what to do….
1) Contact the three major Credit Bureaus
1) Equifax – (800) 525-6285
2) Experian – (888) 397-3742
3) TransUnion – (800) 680-7289
2) File a report with the police department. Keep in mind that this report may not always be able to be taken by the local
police department, depending on where the offense takes place.
3) Be sure to contact the credit card company immediately, to cancel the account and to monitor for future activity.
A few more tips. Store a copy of all of your credit and debit cards (front and backs) in a secure location. If you should
notice a card missing, you will not need to worry about finding an old statement for account and phone numbers. Limit the
number of cards you carry, in order to limit any headaches that can occur if you lose a wallet or purse. Remember that a
debit card does not have the same protection as a credit card. In most cases a lost and used debit card has no limit of loss to
you (your entire account could be available for the taking). However, a lost and used credit card should only cost you $50.00
(this may vary by creditor).

“THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE”
1873
Indian Hill Historical Society - 8100 Given Road - Cincinnati, OH 45243
Subject: Art of John Hauser (1859 – 1913)
A study of the work of John Hauser, noted American West artist, has been undertaken by two
professors at the University of Cincinnati. They have requested the collaboration of the Indian Hill
Historical Society in locating some of Hauser’s work that might be owned by Indian Hill residents.
In 1986, at the Little Red Schoolhouse, the Historical Society held an exhibition of 69 of Hauser’s
paintings. It is now (twenty years later) recognized as the largest gathering of John Hauser’s western art.
If you own (or know of the location of) one of the Hauser works, please contact:
Edward P. Harris, Emeritus Professor, University of Cincinnati
3309 Morrison Avenue, Cincinnati OH 45220

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give to these two researchers
Peg Gillespie
President
Nancy Striebich appointed as Indian Hill High School Principal
Indian Hill Exempted Village School District is pleased to announce that Mrs. Nancy Striebich has been
appointed as Indian Hill High School’s principal at a special Board of Education meeting on February 28, 2007.
Mrs. Striebich stood out as the best person to serve as the next principal of Indian Hill High School from a field of
very capable candidates. Nancy understands our student population, academic
expectations, and high degree of community involvement. The High School has
not missed a beat this year under her capable leadership as our interim principal.
Mrs. Striebich, an individual of high integrity, has the ability to develop and coach others
to perform at their maximum level; she holds high expectations for staff and students; and
she is an excellent communicator. Her attention and sensitivity to the needs of individual
students and ability to be a collaborative leader and team builder are also qualities that are
inherent in her practice. Superintendent, Jane Knudson, said “I am confident that her focus on
instructional leadership, commitment to continuous improvement, and insight as a District
parent, will serve our students, parents, and the High School staff well and lead Indian Hill High School to new heights.”
Prior to being appointed as interim High School principal this year, Mrs. Striebich served as our High School assistant
principal for the previous six years. She has a master’s degree in secondary administration from Xavier University
and a Bachelor of Science degree in education from the University of Cincinnati. Mrs. Striebich held administrative
positions and taught high school mathematics in the Cincinnati area before joining the Indian Hill staff in 2000.
GREEN AREAS BIRD WATCH
The Green Areas Advisory Committee invites Indian Hill residents to a BIRD WATCH/WALK on April 29th from 8:30
am until 10:00 am. It will take place at Rheinstrom Park, and we will be viewing Warblers, Tanagers, Flycatchers, Vireos,
and Orioles. Please wear comfortable, waterproof shoes. Our leader, Bob Foppe, an avid bird watcher, whose credentials
include having seen 280 of the 400 birds in Ohio, will lead the group. If you have bird books, binoculars, scopes, or other
instruments, bring them! The walk will take place rain or shine. Please carpool, as the parking lot is very small. Only a
limited number of birders can be accommodated, so reserve your space now. Please RSVP to Natalie Nesbitt at 561-4588
with your name and telephone number.
PREVENTING DEER DAMAGE TO PLANTS
As all residents are aware, keeping deer from damaging plants and trees can be a full-time, and sometimes futile, job in
this area. Many have tried tying bars of soap to trees and placing bags of human hair on shrubs with limited success. There
are, however, some alternatives that are more effective.
Repellents can keep deer from plants by giving off a foul odor (area repellents) or making the plant unpalatable (contact
repellents). According to a study by the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Deer-Away Big Game Repellent
had high success in repelling deer, as did a spray of 20% whole eggs and 80% water. One limitation of these products,
however, is that they must be reapplied throughout the winter and spring and especially after a heavy rain.
Another successful method is to exclude deer from certain areas. Eight foot woven wire fencing is effective but costly.
Individual trees can be protected by placing plastic tubing around their trunks. Plastic netting over plants and shrubs is also
effective but can be unsightly.
Perhaps the best way to co-exist with our deer population is to plant species that are less preferred by deer. (See table
below.) No plant, however, is deer-proof. If hungry enough, a deer will find almost any plant edible.
Unfortunately, there is no perfect way to combat the deer in our area. A combination of the above methods may be most
effective. Then just sit back and enjoy the beauty of these graceful animals.

resident interested in donating funds toward this memorial are encouraged to do so. Checks should be payable to Camargo
Hunt, marked for the Lela Steele Memorial fund and forwarded to Julie Myers, Treasurer Camargo Hunt, 8600 Bridgewater,

ROWE ARBORETUM NEWS Spring is right around the corner and with it comes one of the best seasons, and a number of great reasons, to visit this
little gem in the Village of Indian Hill. Come and let the warmth of the sun invigorate you, see the many migrating birds
stopping by, enjoy the peace and quiet of this preserve, and oh yes, there are the plants. Many of them will be in bloom
too! HOW TO GET HERE: For those not acquainted with the arboretum, it is located at 4600 Muchmore Road in the
southwest corner of the Village. It can be a little hard to find but well worth the effort. Our driveway entrance on Muchmore
can be a little of a surprise to a newcomer, so please adhere to the speed limit and pay attention to any accompanying
traffic. Once on the driveway to the arboretum, please bear to the right and drive slowly on the narrow lane up the hill. The
woods along the way is also a Green Areas’ protected area so take your time and enjoy the scenery. Cont. on Page 8
Cont. From Page 7
At the top of the hill you will come to the entry to the arboretum. Just follow the signs and you will gain access into
the main portion of the collections. There is an automatic gate which will open, as long as you stay to the right of the drive. The gate sensor works for bicycles as well. Follow the drive to the parking lot and feel free to pick up a brochure or borrow
a self-guided tour map located in the rack next to the bulletin board on the corner of the Arboretum Center. ARE YOU A MEMBER? For those who are a little more familiar with the arboretum know about our voluntary
membership program. Annual dues collected assist in the care of the collections. Renewals for 2007 have been mailed
recently. If you are a visitor of the arboretum and not a member, please feel free to request information by calling 561-5151
and we’d be happy to send you a packet. CURRENT HAPPENINGS We are in the process of cleaning up quite a bit of damage due to the recent snow and ice
storms. Please pardon “Our chainsaw dust” while we take care of what turned out to be one of the more devastating natural
disasters experienced at the arboretum in quite a few years. Our Spring Plant Sale is scheduled for Saturday April 28 from 9 AM to Noon. Please mark your calendar now
and plan to come and pick from a selection of some of the more unusual plants around! Member’s Day will be held on
Friday April 27 and you will be notified of the new extended times for this event in the newsletter.

SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM
TO BEGIN JUNE 18
The Summer Recreation Program at Stephan Field will
begin on Monday, June 18 and continue through Friday,
August 3. The program will start at 10:00 a.m. each day
and end at 3:00 p.m. The recreation program operation will
be separate from the tennis camp, which will be operated
by the Camargo Racquet Club at the Stephan Field courts.
Attendees will enjoy many of the favorite activities from
previous years, such as; basketball, baseball, soccer, water
day on Fridays and board games/crafts.
As in previous years, a parent or guardian must register
each participant the first time they attend. Children must
be at least 6 years old by June 18. We will require each
participant between the ages of 6-9 years of age to be signed
in and out by a parent or baby-sitter. Older participants may
sign themselves in and out. The directors will follow-up
with the parent of any child who was signed in by a parent
but failed to sign out before leaving the park. The children
are expected to follow the program rules. Those who do not
will be sent home immediately.
Kelly Iles and Pam Allen will share the position of
program director again this year. Both are employees of the
Indian Hill Primary School and are familiar with many of the
kids who will attend the program.
The Indian Hill Recreation Commission offers the Stephan
Field program for recreation use only. IT IS NOT A BABYSITTING SERVICE OR DAY CARE CENTER. Your
cooperation with the program directors is most appreciated.
The program directors are not able to stay at Stephan Field
beyond closing and clean-up time (3:15 p.m.). After this
time, children ages 6-9 will be escorted to the Indian Hill
Ranger Station.
If you have any questions regarding the program, please
contact the Village Offices between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. daily. The office phone is 561-6500.

Take the First Step – Be Prepared for an Emergency
This year, public health agencies across the country are encouraging people to Take the First Step in preparing for
emergencies that may occur in their communities. Whether you live in an area prone to severe weather like hurricanes or
tornadoes, or in a major city that may be vulnerable to man-made disasters or terrorist attacks, preparing yourself and your
family for an emergency just makes sense.
Despite growing threats and a host of awareness campaigns, Americans remain largely unprepared for emergencies.
A February 2007 survey conducted by the American Public Health Association noted that only 27 percent of the public has a
three-day supply of water, food, and medicine and a reliable first aid kit. A 2006 survey conducted by the Hamilton County
General Health District among 300 county residents found similar results:
• Just 10 percent of residents surveyed have enough bottled water on hand to support a family of four for two days
(experts recommend one gallon of water for drinking and sanitation per person per day for at least three days).
• Just 37 percent of residents surveyed have four to seven days of non-perishable food on hand (experts recommend
at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food).
• Among residents surveyed with children in daycare or school, only 53 percent said they have a plan in place to
care for their children for a two week period if the school were to be closed.
The Hamilton County General Health District has been working with schools, businesses, churches, and people
with special needs to help assure that our emergency response plans meet the unique needs and challenges that these groups
may face during a variety of emergencies. As reassuring as this may seem, our planning efforts will not be successful if
individuals in our community do not do their part.
It shouldn’t be a question of why to prepare, but why not. Having an emergency plan and kit will help in many
situations. Consider the recent ice storms that hit our region, leaving thousands of people without power. How many of
us found that the batteries in our flashlights and radios were dead, or that we couldn’t possibly prepare a meal with out
electricity? Many of us ran out of firewood or didn’t have matches. If we are not able to sustain ourselves in our own homes
for a day or two, what would happen if we had to stay home for a week or two with our children because an influenza
pandemic has closed schools?
Make a list of everything you need to do to prepare yourself and your family, such as creating an emergency kit or
family communications plan, and then don’t panic! While preparing is important, it doesn’t have to be done overnight. At
the Health District, we are constantly updating and revising our emergency response plans to meet the ever-changing needs
of our community and to incorporate new state and federal guidelines. Your plans will evolve too, overtime.
There are many resources available to help the community prepare, many of which are available through your local
public health district, emergency management agency or online. Hamilton County residents can visit the Health District’s
Web site, www.hamiltoncountyhealth.org, where information is available for families, businesses, churches, schools, special
needs groups, and more, to help them prepare for emergencies. It’s not hard to prepare yourself; take the first step today.

Michael Gurian Helps parents “Nuture The Nature” of Our Children
at Cincinnati Museum Center on May 15, 2007
Dynamic Lecture Helps Parents Understand And Support Child’s Unique Core Personality. With A Special Feature:
Nurturing The Gender Specific Needs Of Sons And Daughters
Cincinnati Museum Center and the Duke Energy Children’s Museum Advisory Board welcomes nationally
recognized author Michael Gurian for events on May 15, 2007.
A lunchtime lecture will be held from 11am to 1:30pm and a special dinner, exclusively for Dads will be held from
6:30pm-8:30pm. Individual tickets for each event are $40 per person Combination family tickets, one for each event,
are $75. Sponsorship packages which include one table for lunch and one table for dinner are available for $800.
For over twenty years, Michael Gurian (author of THE WONDER OF BOYS and THE WONDER OF GIRLS)
has been helping families and communities to raise healthy children. In twenty books, he has explored emotional,
physical, psychological, and moral development, as well as family structures and systems. His work has featured
nature-based and nurture-friendly sciences, like neuro-biology, that shine light into human nature, with stories and
wisdom-of-practice from everyday life.
Gurian’s lectures in Cincinnati are based on NURTURE THE NATURE, his long-awaited book on nurturing the
core nature of individual children. In it, Michael focuses specifically on understanding the genetic, neurobiological
and cultural child living in your home and family, from birth to the middle twenties. The book and lectures asks two
fundamental questions, answering them with science and people’s stories: “Who is this child? What does this child
need?”
The “nurture the nature” approach to child raising--one Michael and his wife, Gail, have utilized with their own
children, and one that tens of thousands of other parents have enjoyed in their homes and communities—revolutionizes
parenting away from social trends and helps tailor it toward a specific child’s inborn and natural strengths.
“Michael Gurian is a dynamic speaker who brings humor, insight and practical tips to parents across the country.”
says Elizabeth Pierce, co-chair of the event. “We hope to sell out these events, and support the efforts of Cincinnati
Museum Center to nurture the nature and growth of all of Cincinnati’s children.”
The idea of “Dads-only dinner” was a big success last year, says Gregory Wolf, co-chair of the event. “Once
again, it will be a relaxed evening of great parenting advice and insight.”
Michael Gurian’s lecture will highlight the research and learnings from his new book; NURTURE THE NATURE,
due out May 2007. Both his lecture and book focus on five crucial elements of healthy child development:
• Understanding your own child’s inherent and natural assets. New genetics and brain research is revolutionizing
our understanding of children.
• Revolutionizing your family away from distracting social trends and toward nurturing the particular nature of each
child.
• Focusing on the different but essential roles of mothers, fathers, extended family, mentors, teachers, and peers at specific
key developmental times of a child’s and adolescent’s life.
• Understanding the specific needs of an individual boy and individual girl.
• New methods, strategies and parenting techniques for the seven stages of child and adolescence.
“Understanding the nature of individual children—focusing on their nature from the inside out is empowering to parents,
teachers, and all of us who nurture our children,” says Gurian.
Every child has a unique temperament, personality, and dream-filled soul trying to flourish. Providing state-of-the-art research,
this lecture is a passionate and practical guide to teaching and caring for children in today’s complex world.To purchase lunch or
dinner tickets, please call 513-287-7021, or visit www.cincymuseum.org.

A Look Back at The Camargo Kennels
During the 1920s, a number of Cincinnati’s prominent families migrated to the farming settlement of Indian Hill. Many
were avid sportsmen and members of the Cincinnati Riding Club, where they played polo and practiced equitation. Julius
Fleischmann, Learner Harrison, Leonard S. Smith, O. DeGray Vanderbilt, and Lucien Wulsin provided the impetus for
the Camargo Hunt, established locally in 1925 and recognized by the Masters of Foxhounds Association in 1928. They
cleared trails, constructed panels (jumps), and imported fox cubs. They built elaborate stables and encouraged the sport of
foxhunting.
At his 1600-acre Winding Creek Farm, Mr. Fleischmann also built the Camargo Kennels and cottages for qualified
professional staff. He provided the first pack of English foxhounds and hired Charles Samways to be huntsman. The
Camargo Kennels were constructed with a British design, devised by Peter Beckford, Esq. in his 1898 Thoughts on
Foxhunting. There were two large lodging rooms and several smaller ones, all with courtyards. In the center of the cork
floored kennel was the boiling room (kitchen) where meals for the hounds were prepared, next to the feeding court. There
was also a small whelping house and another outbuilding used as a quarantine kennel for new or sick dogs.
The hound kitchen was a vital part of the kennel. It was believed that the hounds, being carnivores, should be kept fit with
a diet based on flesh. In Great Britain, neighboring farmers provided injured
or dead animals to the huntsman, and in return, the Hunt destroyed varmints
on their farms. The source of meat for Camargo’s hounds is unknown. The
huntsman was responsible for boiling the flesh (mostly cattle, horses, or
sheep) and adding oatmeal, barley, and/or vegetables, and sometimes oil to
this pudding-like broth.
Charles Samways, Camargo’s memorable second huntsman, was a
professional British hunting servant whose father had been a kennelman to
King Edward VII. Responsible for the actual Hunt, he also supervised the
hounds and the kennel. This included cleaning the buildings, the hygiene,
health, and exercise and training of dogs, and feeding and breeding them.
Samways resided in the Huntsman’s Cottage at Winding Creek Farm. For
more than 40 years, the Camargo pack was fed flesh by Samways. When he
retired, the new huntsman, Russell McKee, began feeding prepared dry food to the hounds.
The Camargo pack became a half-bred pack, with the crossbreeding of English and Welsh hounds. Later American,
Kentucky, and Virginia hounds were introduced to the line. Hounds were bred for stamina and scenting ability. The handling
of the hounds was a year round, day in day out occupation. The pack was
taken out for exercise and training walks 3 times daily, which established a
rapport between the hounds and the huntsman and kept the dogs in excellent
condition.
By the terms of Mr. Fleischmann’s 1969 will, the Camargo Kennels
property was transferred to Indian Hill’s Green Areas. The Camargo Hunt
and kennels moved to Clermont County in 1973 because of the development
of Indian Hill and the need for more hunting grounds. The original kennels,
though structurally sound, became vacant, and its cottages were rented. In
1989, the Village decided to raze the kennels and cottages since the necessary rehabilitation of the structures was prohibitively
expensive.
Pillars with the insignia of the Camargo Hunt mark the entrance to the former site at 8125 Spooky Hollow Road. The
Camargo Kennels represented a unique era of Indian Hill history. As the home for the hounds, whose hard work
is the heart of foxhunting, it was an iconic structure. Hunt members revere the memory of this former village
landmark.
THE INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Stepping Stones
Acquires Plaque
House Tour
Reservations
Being Accepted
Mark your calendar for Sunday,
May 20. This is a major fund raiser
for the Historical Society, with the
proceeds going to support archiving
and preservation efforts.
The busses will depart from the
Little Red Schoolhouse to visit three
lovely homes in the Village, and
then will return there for a lavish
gourmet buffet of hors d’oeuvres
and wines.
Pamlico
Lane
The Pamlico (Pamticough) Indians
were members of the Tuscarora tribe
and were the southernmost group of
the Algonquian language family.
The name is continued in such
geographical references as Pamlico
River and Pamlico Sound. They
inhabited the North Carolina coastal
area, but in the late 17th century
were virtually wiped out by disease
prior to and during colonization
by Europeans. The remnants of
their chiefdom had been reduced to
fifteen warriors by 1709.
The gracious home that is the
principal feature of the Stepping
Stones Center campus now displays
one of the Historical Society’s
Historic Landmark plaques.
Originally the Lindley Conking
House, the building was built in
approximately 1860; and it features
some of the most attractive wroughtiron work in the Village.
The Society’s plaque program was
instituted in 1991 to honor notable
historic structures in Indian Hill. If
a resident wishes to nominate their
home or barn for one of these lovely
bronze plaques, they may phone the
office at 891-1873 for a copy of the
criteria and the nomination form.
New Rental Rates
For Schoolhouse
Planning to use the Schoolhouse
for a party or meeting in the near
future? The good news is that the
new schedule of rates is particularly
attractive for residents of Indian
Hill.
The charm of this 1873 historic
building adds to almost any event,
and the 2003 renovations (especially
the caterers’ style kitchen) make
it an all-around wonderful place
for birthdays, anniversaries, bar
mitzvahs, rehearsal dinners, and
even for weddings.
Phone 891-1873 to reserve your
date.
Public Works
And Water Works
Featured April 22
The April program for the
Historical Society will feature
the past and present (and maybe
a glimpse of the future) for the
Public Works Department and the
Water Works. Rick Robinson,
Superintendent of Public Works,
and John Davis, Superintendent
of the Water Works will share the
“inside story” of their departments.
This event will also be the Annual
Meeting for the Historical Society.
President Peg Gillespie will give her
fiscal year end “President’s Report,”
and the nominating committee
will announce the roster of Board
Members and the officers for the
upcoming 2007-2008 year.
This will be the once-a-year
covered dish supper, with all those
attending
providing gourmet
delights from their kitchens.
Beverages will be served, with
something to please the palate to
accompany the myriad dishes on
the buffet.
Attic Sale Postponed
Originally scheduled for June 16,
the Attic Treasures Sale VI has been
postponed. Looking to the future,
however, the Historical Society
is still accepting tax deductible
donations to be made available for
purchase at the future date.
