Mayor Frank Corbin Outlines His
Views On What's Ahead
For The Community
By Mayor Frank N. Corbin
197 4 was a year of real accomplishment for
our Village Council. A review of the minutes
brings to mind such matters as codification of
over 75 years of ordinances, major repairs to
our bridges, beautification of the green, purchase
of a new fire truck, improvement to the Village's
general appearance, and, perhaps most important
and difficult in these days, a year of fiscal soundness, both in terms of controlling expenditures in
1974 and building a foundation for future years.
We enter 1975 with great challenges and with
great resolve to. handle them to the best of our
ability. On many peoples' minds today is the matter
of recreation . encompassing both the school
recreation field and the location of additional facilities. With Council's deliberation based on the broad
citizen input on this matter, I have to be confident
that the right decision will be made. This is being
written before our January meeting and any action
taken in January will surely be reported elsewhere. Generally, one of our greatest problems
is knowing what the people of Terrace Park want.
On this matter public discussion and communica1_Jjgn q~ve been quite broad, and we ought to have
a good reading on what is wanted.
Another matter that will surely continue to be a
subject of considerable moment, is the prcposed
office development on the west edge of the Village. As of this writing, it is reported that the
E.P.A. examiner has ruled in favor of the proposed
mechanical treatment plant. An appeal by Little
Miami, Inc. seems assured. However, eventually
some construction seems inevitable, and it will
be a real challenge for Council to try to make
whatever happens a credit to Terrace Park.
The earlier mentioned purchase of a new fire
truck will nece·ssitate some alterations to our
firehouse. At this point, ideas are being translated
into preliminary drawings. Late this year actual
construction· should start, so that we will have a
place to house the new pumper when it is delivered
in mid-1976.
We continue to work toward becoming our own
Township. This has little meaning other than that
it has some minor tax and revenue sharing implications. While the money involved may only amount
to a few hundred dollars per year, it is still worth
our efforts, as we try in all feasible ways to
reduce your tax burden, by maximizing our receipts
from all other sources.
The Zoning Review Board - consisting of Ken
Troy, Bob Lowery, Marie Ramsdell, and Louise
Halley - is hard at work. Hopefully, within a year
we will have at least some preliminary reports
from them on their total evaluation of our land use
and zoning ordinance, Their study will be very
comprehensive and should stimulate a lot of thought
about where we should be heading and how best
we can get there.
In November of this year there will be elections
at which a Mayor, Clerk, and two members of
Council will be chosen. Certainly there will be
more discussion on this subject in future issues
ct Village Views. Now is the time for serious consideration of potential candidates to begin.
It is also time to start thinking about a suitable
bi-centennial celebration. Anyone interested in helping with the program is urged to volunteer now.
Finally, we believe in responsive government.
Being unable to predict what might occur during
the next twelve months, it is my sincere hope
that you will all keep well posted, and let me and
your Council know of your thoughts. It is our desire
to serve you. To do that, we must know what you
want.
Council Calls For Study
In Playfield Controversy
It was the calm before
the storm, only there was no
storm. A few breezes, but
not the fury anticipated by
many. .This describes the
atmosphere at the village
council meeting on January
14 where a decision was
again tabled regarding development of additional recre at i on
fields
at the
Wilderness Preserve. Some
80 residents, of all ages,
crowded the room to observe
and express their opinion on
this controversial subject.
The outcome was that
Mayor Corbin asked Gene
Desvernine to serve as council's representative to the
Recreation Committee, to
explore other land alternatives, costs involved, and if
any federal funds might be
procured to build the new
soccer and ball fields the
Committee desires. Desvernine is to report these findings to council before any
future commitment will be
voteµ.
Jim
Allis on, chief
spokesman for the Wilderness Preserve Committee,
in an
opening statement
briefed council on activity
the past month. This centered chiefly on the flyer,
mail-in survey, andpetitions
circulated among the 700
homes in the Park. Diana
Durden, detailing the survey,
reported that an astonishingly-high 226 rep lie s,
totaling 337 signatures, were
received, with an
overwhelming majority (179) in
support of keeping the Preserve
intact. Only 20
returns, covering 24 signatures, voted to build the
fields in the wilderness area.
Many residents checked
more than one option.
Jamie Vogt reported the
results of a petition circulated among village youth
and Louise Halley tallied
signatures received on adult
petitions, both

wasn't until several minutes
later after a phone call to
my wife, that my worst fears
were calmed. Yes, Jill had
fallen and cut herself, but

Results showed the council
that there is overwhelming

A Rare Woodpecker Makes A Comeback
"Near size of a crow;
sooty-black with long red
crest, white stripe on side
of head and neck, conspicuous white
patches in
wings."
The description
could go on to say "master
woodchopper," for this fine
bird, a pileated woodpecker,
can split off large slabs from
decaying stumps, strip bushels of bark from dead trees,
and chisel large holes in
either sound, dead or decaying wood.
At the· turn of the century, n at u r a 1 is ts were
concerned that "log-cocks,"
as they
were commonly
called, might be headed for
extinction.
As pioneers
cleared millions of acres of
mature hardwood forests and shot the birds for sport
and food - log-cocks declined rapidly and even disappeared ov~r much of the
-Northeastern United States.
Fortunately the
birds
have learned to live among
smaller trees such as those
found in the second-growth
forests which are now beginning to c o v e r
many
ab an d one d, unproductive
farms. Along with adapting
to smaller trees, they are
less shy than formerly and
will occasionally visit feeding stations to feast on suet.
In fact, a growing number
of Village residents have
seen this spectacular bird
searching our trees for insects.
Be sure to look upward
if you hear loud, powerful
blows overhead. You may be

does not mean that your tax

goes up, the taxes for bonded

While -- at the time this was being written -there has been no public mention, Village Views
understands that members of the village council
have discussed privately the idea of selling the
so-called Boy Scout cabin area, and using the
money to purchase and developi new recreational
facilities near the swim club.
It is difficult to see how such a proposal could
be entertained for even a moment.
In the first place, the area is the most widelyused spot in the village for the non-structured
play that also is important to children.
In the second, a fundamental objection to soccer
fields in the wilderness preserve was that the area
was too far away for proper supervision. The
proposed grounds would be even farther away.
Most of all, to take such a step would be to
completely undercut the stand of the whole community to preserve the present school playfield
for village use. Only months ago, council was ready
to zone for recreation purposes the playfield, the
Scout Cabin area, and landfill. The major--almost
the whole--purpose was to block school board sale
of the playfield for residential development. To
change direction so completely, and sell the cabin
area for residences now, would make it at least
difficult - if not impossible - to defend a barrier
against similar development only a couple of hundred feet away.
If Village Views correctly interprets the results
of the recent poll, what most of the villagers -- if
it is any new recreation development at all is
improvement of the former dump, euphemistically
called the bird sanctuary, which is central, valuable
and unused. Even a recent land-use study the village
paid for pinpointed it as valuable even for light
industrial use that would have minimum effect on
surrounding properties.
Developing the dump would probably cost more
initially. It would make it a village asset, instead
of a drawback.

Life Squad Battles
Crew Shortages
Some firefighters of the
volunteer department must
fill in to keep the life squad
man n e d, Fire Chief Lee
Stegemeyer said
in his
annual report to council.
In 197 4, fire units answered 32 calls, the life
squad 116 and the rescue
tu1it seven. Fire loss for the
year was a nominal $575,with nearly ha 1f the loss
being attributed to fires
started by faulty electrical
appliances.
Operations involved 610
hours and 30 minutes of
volunteer man-hours on
act u a 1 emergency runs.
There was no record reported on the considerably
larger number of man-hours
involved in training.
Under a mutual aid system under which Hamilton
County communities make
fire and squad facilities
available to each other, Terrace Park assisted in five
fire situations, responded to
36 outside life squad calls,
and three rescue unit calls.
In turn, Terrace Park during
the year called for assistance twice; getting help from·
Milford in an automobile accident and having Milford
answer a second life squad
call when our own unit was
already on a run.
A new division in the
Prevention Bureau, made 28
contacts during the year---nine public building inspections, six building construction familiarization inspection, four speaking engagements, three residential
inspections, two consumer
safety inspections and a fire
investigation, and
issued
three burn permits.

Water
Rates
Go Up
BY ELLIS RA WNSLE Y
A 20% increase in water
rates will become effective
in Terrace Park June 1.
The increase comes
about as a result of action
by Indian Hill Village Council in passing an ordinance
raising the rates in that
community. Terrace Park,
ICamp Dennison and thatpart
of Madeira served by the
Indian Hill water system also
will be affected.
Indian Hill Village Manager A. Wray White said no
concurrence by
Terrace
Park's village council was
required since the w ate r
contract between the two
communities permits Indian
Hill to fix any rates not in
excess of those charged
residents of Indian Hill.
The basic water rate will
increase from the present
50 cents to 60 cents per
lOO cubic feet. New minimum
rates will range from $9 to
$12 per quarter, based on
supply line and water use.
The current lowest rate is
$7.5.
White t o 1 d Indian Hill
council the 20% increase was
Becessary to forestall aproiected $43,000 deficit in this

The new minimum rates
ue $9 for 1500 cubic feet
supplied through a 5/8 inch
water line; $1 O. 80 for 1800
cubic feet through a 3/4inch
line, and $12 for 2000 cubic
feet through a one inch line.

Mayor Calls Devolpment Act Good Deal
BY LYNN NELSON
"A good deal, indeed" is
the way Mayor Corbin sums
up the Community Development Act which offers a very
real prospect of benefitting
Terrace Park.
At the regular meeting
March 11, Corbin told the
council that Hamilton County
will receive roughly $2 million for distribution throughout the county.
One of the areas slated
for de v e 1 op m e n t is the
Kroger Hills Park just west
of the village boundary.
On learning that purchase
of lands for the Park is to
begin within the next two to
three months, Corbin approached the county about
the possibility of inc~orating soccer and baseball
fields into its blueprint for
the southeastern edge, an
idea that might prove the
solution to the village• s need
for additional recreation
fields.
"And

claim that Mariemont City
School's national standing
was due primarily to the
efforts of the teaching staff.
I had not been aware, up
to that point, that our school
district had been competing
for a national standing. Who
had done the evaluation! The
only evaluation tactic I was
aware of was that done by
the North Central Association. Which is a little like
asking your plumber's best
friend to come in an evaluate his work. I had supposed that one of our goals
as a community was simply
one of excellence in the education of our children
toward the needs of our community.
Adding to the puzzlement,
which was now becoming bewilderment, was the lack of
credit to the parents of the
school district. Not that my
wife and I had compared
genetic strains before our
marriage, but we had tried School Adminstrators Conto build a home life that ference, the colleges of edprofessional

BY ALEC DAVIDSON
A phone call for you,
Combes.
Thanks, Wotson. I'll take
it on the kitchen extension.
Hello. Hairlock Combes
speaking.
Mr. Combes, my name is
Lateral, Norwood Later a 1.
At least that was my name.
I read in the Enquire that
the Highway Department has
used my name for one of its
roads. That's a flagrant
filch, Mr. Combes, and I
want something done about
it. Can you help me?
Of course I can. You've
called just at the right time,
too. I'm about to enjoy my
morning period of relaxed
meditation.
Here in the
·kitchen, I filter out the world
· and concentrate on the coffee
pot -- a percolator of an,cient vintage that goes dlupbup, dlup-bup.
Hello? Hello? Are you
still there?Dlup-bupl You're
on something besides coffee, man.
Look, Mr. Lateral, either
you come to experts like me
o:r you go to pecple like
Mrs. Olsen, that officious
busybody. If you hire somebody like her, all you'll get
will be a suggestion to switch
coffee brands. Would you
really rely on even a coffee
recommendation fr om a
pseudo - Scandinavian? Skis
or social welfare maybe but
not coffee. Let me call you
back, Mr. Later al, the
water's coming to a boil.

"Thank you for the nice

found our tree so we could
rest." ·
Mr. Lateral? Hairlock
Combes here. I have a surefire scheme to gefyour name
away
from the highway
people.
The
scheme,
Mr.
Combes.
A very subtle one. You
know, don't you, that you
have to be a schizcphrenic
historian to make sense out
of street and ..road names
around here. I-75 is the
Mi 11 creek Expressway,
Amity is Galbraith and Galbraith is Kugler Mill. The
Wooster Pike, alias the Cine inn at i-Chillicothe Road,
goes to Milford.
Now, we'll arrange to
have part of the Norwood
Lateral be given another
name.
Something inoffensive yet appealing--like
Bengal Boulevard. We'll top
the whole thing off with a
little ceremony. Get the
Bengal trainer to cut a ribbon, and have a taster from
a local brewery sprinkle
some ale on the median strip.
Insiq_e of a week -and goodbye Norwood Lateral Expressway. Your name.
will be yours again. Er, how
did you get that name?
I got it not long after
we moved to Norwood from
Mississippi. My real name
is Rhett Pittypat. I had a
thriving business down in the
Delta country but politics
ruined it. I was in the Spanish moss trade. Used to
collect moss, dip it in flour,
and sell it to a bakery in
Houston as shredded cocoanut. Pecple thereneverknew
the difference.
There was real cocoanut
in a Houston museum but it
was cataloged as a petrified
Texas hailstone. Conservatives got control of the
museum's board of trustees,
and banned the exhibit. They
said that no Texas hailstone
could be brown' and hairy.
The curator got. curious and
broke open the cocoanut.
Now, he's a baker importing·
the real thing, and I'm marooned in Norwood.
My name? Oh yeah, my
name. When I first got here,
the q>enings for a Spanish
moss picker were pretty
limited so I had to take what
was going-sideline football
polisher at the stadium. I
picked up the polishing fast,
so I was promoted to throwing the ball to the officials.

Water
'COntinued
when the lowest m1mmum
per q u a r t e r was jumped
from $3. 50 to $7. 50.
Terrace Park and Indian
Hill only recently renewed
the initial 20-year contract
signed when Indian Hill set
up its own water system,
drawing water from wells
along
Glendale-Milford
Road, and bought the dis. tribution system from Cincinnati.
Most of Terrace Park's
water distribution system
_ was installed very early in
the century, with some expansion west of Elm Avenue
in 1913. A contract with
Milford in 1909 called for
water to be supplied at 15
cents per 1000 cubic feet.
Milf or.d within a few
years declared itself unable
to supply both its own community and Terrace Park,
and the system was taken
over by Cincinnati, water
reaching this village as it
does now from the water
tower on Indian Hill. An
emergency pipeline crossing the Milford bridge still
connects Milford and Terrace Park.
The age of the water
distribution system accounts
for the problem that arises
whenever the fire department
takes water from
hydrants in the area south
of Amherst Avenue in particular. Most of the lines
have dead ends, which over
the years have accumulated
quantities of silt that no
amount of flushing or chemical treatment has been able
to counteract.
Letter
continued
ners to come to meetings
and hear stated positions.
Finally has come the
dawning that I, as a member of the Mariemont School
District community, had let
slip away from me the one
thing that really counted.
The control of the education of my children.
The term was, and should
be, public schools. Not state,
county, and certainly not federal. Public schools. Not
controlled by judicial, legislative, or
executive
branches of government but
by the community they are
· intended to serve. Not to be
served by county, state, or
federal funds nor to be regulated by these agencies. Nor
by "professionals." They
are hired to serve our needs
not vice versa.
So I come full circle with
the responsibility and blame
resting where it properly
belongs. Right on my shoulders. And since, with the
present conditions as they
are, and since I do not really
care for what I andmypeers
have wrought, perhaps my
recourse would be to call a
Parent's Strike. To keep my
children out of school for a
year. To see if it would
really make that much difference in their lives.
I wonder what schools
would be like if no children
came?

Recreation Plans, Corporation Li mils Studied
By Lynn Nelson
Speaking earnestly and
sincerely, Carl Lindell,
long-time
T,,rrace Park
resident and civic leader,
requested village council to
take a long, hard look at
recreation plans being considered by the Recreation
::ommittee before making a
::ornmitment.
Lindell, speaking as an
'nterested citizen at l"he
~ril 8 council meeting, acmowledged the need for
ldditional rec space in the
rillage. He said his concern
1.rose, however, after he
dewed a mapped plan that
lesignates some 16 soccer
le l d s, 8 to 10 baseball
liamonds, and 3 or 4
parking areas being contemplated for construction
near his personal property
and the Swim Club.
These facilities would be
incorporated into the new
Kroger - Hills State Park
planned for the land area
between Terrace Park and
Mariemont, and reviewed in
last month's Village Views.
Lindell said the operators of Stumps Boat Club
share his concern, particularly as regards heavy traffic and vandalism that such
extensive playfields would
attract.
Instead, Lindell hopes
some type of wildernessgreen belt area will be
retained between his land,
~rhor Day At Terrace
Park School
the Swim Club, and Stumps'
land, and then facilities for
active sports be build adjacent to this.
Mayor Frank Corbin
hastened to assure Lindell
that council has not endorsed
any plan thus far, and that
the entire recreation development plan is under consider a ti on by several
groups.
One is the local Recreation Committee which was
to meet April 9. Also an
open meeting was scheduled
for April 10 in the Mariemont Council Chamber
where types of land use were
to be studied.
Corbin said he, too, has
seen the plan to which Lindell referred, and he thinks
it is being considered as one
into which Terrace Park and
the surrounding community
would grow • . • that the
plan takes the long-range
future view. Corbin also assured Lindell that council's
position would be one that is
alert to Terrace Park's
needs, and that it would plan
· -ac-cordingly-and--reas-onab-ly.
Corporation Limits

Ison and some of the members of the third grade
round their Flowering Crabapple tree.
In bottom photo, are Garden Club members Mrs.
iana Durden and members of the first grade plant a
iveet Gum tree in front of the school. Mr. Conrad, the
JStodian, is assisting.
The students of the Terce Park Grade School
:lebrated Arbor Day April
by planting five young
ees on the school grounds
· one tree for each of the
~ grades.
The first and fourth
ades each planted a Sweet
1111 near their classrooms
the front of the school.
e second grade put in a
lite Dogwood in the center
this area.
The third and fifth grade
ies were flowering Crab~les planted in the back
the school in the courtrd.
This planting is a
1tinuation of the School's
I Garden Club's joint .
ns for making this an
ractive area for out>r teaching.
The trees were donated
the Terrace Park Garden
lb from money derived
m the Terrace Park
ristmas
House Tour.
Three members of the
Garden Club were present
at the plantings and talked
to the children about Arbor
Day and the importance of
planting trees: Mrs. Diana
Durden, Mrs. Pauline Olson
and Mrs. Jane Peterson.
Lindell than presented,
as Village Engineer, copies
of a description of village
corporation limits. This is
a subject long under review,
and is not resolved. Lindell
noted that courthouse records refer to certain old
residences as defining the
western edge of the village,
but no exact distances are
recorded. Fr om his research, Lindell believes the
correct western border is
one that extends 500 feet
further west on Wooster Pike
than the one now marked.
There is also uncertainty
regarding
the
southern
boundary, which fluctuates
with the meanderings of the
river.
Thus, Lindell requested and council approved
an engineer's survey of exact
boundary lines which will
clarify once and for all the
corporation limits of Terrace Park; any line running
through the river will be
delineated
by
surveyor
marks.
Solicitor Robert
Leming pointe--d out that such
an accurate definition is
needed before the village can
make application to become
its own township.
Other Action
- Treasurer Al Roberts
asked all residents to give
their Terrace Park Address
when filing personal property taxes and applying for
driver licenses so that the
village receives its due financial credit.
_ Finance C ha i r m an
Dick Bowman reported council spent $1000 less in this·
year's first quarter than in
first three months of '74.
- First reading ordinance approval was given to
enter into co-operation with
county commissioners on
general repair of ·the Elm
Road railroad bridge. Counell also authorjzed Lindell
to prepare plans and specifications for submission to
the commissioners. The
county will allocate $15,000
from TP' s gasoline tax fund
for this r~pair_ worl<..__ - - Dick Griffith reported
that the new police cruiser
is in service. Griffith hopes
to present a recommendation for remodeling the Fire
House at council's May
meeting. Meanwhile, his
Safety Committee is considering the possibility of
using the chassis of the
pumper to be retired in '76
as the front half of a large
dump truck for the village,
and selling only the rear
pumper end. It Beemed to
be the general consensus
that mostcommunitieswould
not be interested in purchase of only half of a used
piece of firefighting equipment, but the Safety Committee plans to check outthe
idea,
weighing financial
advantages and/or disadvantages.
- Reviewed was the trash
disposal ordinance prepared
by the Rules and Law Committee. This is proving a
knotty problem for council
to settle. Action was again
deferred p e n di n g better
clarification of what types of
trash will be accepted at
the landflli, a aecision complicated by the village no
longer burying or burning
certain items~ The question arose as to what should
be done when a large structure such as a porch or
shed is razed, or there is
a large amount of plaster and
metal objects to be disposed. One member noted
that in the case of demolition, a wrecking permit
is required. Another question posed: what constitutes
"fill"?
Solicitor Leming
was asked to procure copies
of the City of Cincinnati's
and Indian Hill's trash and
demolition ordinances in
the hope they will offer better guidance for Terrace
Park law. Meanwhile, residents are· reminded that the
landfill is open on Saturdays
from 2 - 5 p.m. for disposal
of non-decomposible items;
there is a sliding fee schedule for this ervice. Decompossible trash may be placed
at the curb for collection
by the village crew IF it
is arranged in a manage-a1J1e,-orde:red maimer;
_ Pat Henley reported
that 16 new trees have been
planted in the community this
past month, and that her
Building and Grounds Committee hopes to add eight
more. This group is working out a plan with the
School Board for mowing
and general summer beautification of the playfield.
_ Referral of two conc er n s was made to the
Planning and zoning Commission for
study and
action: the riding andboarding of horses in the village,
and the parking of recreational vehicles. This commission is in the process
of reviewing the village's
total zoning ordinances, with
an eye toward updating and'
relevancy.

LETTERS
To the Editor:
Jill Barnes' recent letter
in the Village Views should
have started many of Ui
thinking about how Terrace
Park will observe and celebrate our country's bicentennial anniversary.
It has been suggested
that we can be most effective. by doing something
FOR our community.
What would you like to
do? How would you like to
celebrate?
With some ideas to begin
working with, it should not
only be easier to assemble
a committee, but easier for
the committee to put together· a
meaningful and
memorable celebration.
Let's not sit back waiting for someone else to get
things going: if you have an
idea, let's hear it. If you
would like to be a member
of the committee, let's hear
from you.
Call me, drop me a line,
ring the bell -- but get in
touch!

To The Editor:
The B o a r d of the St.
Thomas Nursery School
would like to thank Ev Peery
for the excellent First Aid
Course she taught to the
nursery school mothers.
The course was held two
mornings and covered many
aspects of emergency care.
The thoroughness of the
course showed how much
time and effort Ev had put
into its preparation.
All of the mothers attending felt much more able
to handle an emergency after
the course.
It is people like Ev (who
donate so freely of their
time, talent, and knowledge)
who truly enrich the life of
our community.
Sincerely,
Mary Maxon
Secretary St. Thom.as
Nursery
School Board
Please Help!
To the members of Terrace Park, I would like to
say a few words.
The litter here in our
community is really getting
bad. You and I both know
we don't like all of the dirty
litter here, so pleaije pitch
in. We like a clean place to
live so help and clean up.
Thanks

By Alec Davidson
Combes, said Dr. Wotson,
what are you doing wandering around at 5 in the morning playing that squeaky
violin?
I'm waiting for the
garbage truck.
Fine. Make sure that fiddle's on it • . . say, aren't
you a little early - the
g a r b a g e truck usually
doesn't rumble and clang
through here until dawn.
Exactly, Wotson, How is
it that garbage trucks appear simultaneously
throughout the city just before dawn? A mirage? Some
magic quality about Cincinnati?
Go back to bed and dream
about it, Combes. Let your
subconscious work on the
problem. If that doesn't help,
you can always call up th~
council.
There is no more city
council. They've all run for
some other office. One day
soon, Cincinnati will come
to a halt. Nobody's in charge.
Who cares who's in
charge. Life will go on as
usual for those of us who
live high atop Mt. Adams.
High :,1top Mt. Adams?
Low atop Mt. Adams, you
should say, Wotson. We're
being diminished by a freeway.

the matter?

appear at the berms of
dwellings inhabited by four
or more adults, children,
and/or both. Doesn't anyonE
out there speak English?
That's corporation English as taught in business
schools and as captureJ for
all time by word-processing
departments. He's communicating with you, not talking
to you.
The
Republic
is in
danger,
Wotson. Imagine
·turning a majestic Douglas
fir into paper just to have
that abysmal language written on it. Hark! what noise
by yonder window enters?
Well, it's either the
garbage truck or another
row of houses slipping into
the freeway ditch.
By sound deduction, it's
the garbage truck. Just
listen to the merry workpersons as they toss and
turn the garbage cans
around. Garbage truck -the very words are reassuring. Far more so than
Refuse Transporter· as they
say in Terrace Park.
Steady, Combes, don't get
carried away. Or transported. What are you going
to say in Terrace Park to
that MBA' s question? What
does MBA stand for, by the
way?
Most MBA' s will stand
for anything.
The initials
mean either-Mumble, Botch,
and Allocate, or Mingle,
Booze, and Accelerate -- ·
I forget which.
Your answer to his question, Combes.
The question, yes, the
question.
Elementary, my
dear Wotson. The number
of people inside a house
has nothing to do with the
number of garbage cans
outside. More outside one
house than another could
mean no more than missing
last week's pickup. Maybe
it's because of a helpful
husband. If full cans are
too heavy for a wife to take
out, a thoughtful partner
will fill twice as many half
as full. Some men are exceedingly generous that way,
you know. I'll put all this in
my report to the MBA. I'll
make the report more palatable to him by dropping
in a few phrases like the
'invisible hand of selfinterest" - that's the generous husband - and GNP
or two.
GNP?
Garbage not packed.
Aren't you going to give
him any advice? You usually
do.
Oh yes. I'll wrap the
whole thing up by suggesting he either get married
or invest in a compacter

Council Discusses RecreationVehicle Parking Problem
By Lynn Nelson
With Ray Allison serving as spokesman, about a
dozen residents attended
council's meeting on May
13 seeking more information
about the recreational vehicle parking "problem"
they heard was being discus s e d at recent council
meetings.
Allison, former mayor,
explained that the small contingency of vehicle owners
had met once informally at
his home. He defined those
..types of vehicles his group
;·elieves come under the cat.Jg or y of '' recreational,''
pointing out that many
owners have a sizable
financial investment in their
trailer, boat or motor home.
Allison asked for a fuller
explanation of council's concern with storage and parking, and emphasized that his
group was attending in a
spirit of cooperation.
Ma
a_nd ambiguous, and because
of this, council has requested
.a. thorough review.
More on this subject will
be forthcoming as all village
zoning ordinances are being
scrutinized and updated by a
special committee chaired
by Ken Troy. Ferd Critchell
commented that this reviewing board should also consider "those private homes
where five or six cars are
owned and parked."
Guardrail Fence
Phil Stegemeyer, another
re side n t attending, expressed concern to council
about the guardrail fence
crossing the Elm Road rail-
road bridge. He and his wife
believe it represents a safety
hazard. Pat Henley, Building
and Grounds chairperson,
readily agreed with Stegemeyer' s
assessment, and
reassured him her committee plans repair within
the next week to ten days.
A third resident, George
Bell, attending with his
y o u n g daughter, advised
council he came to learn
more about their concern
with the "horse situation"
in the Park.Corbin responded to Bell with a similar
explanation as that given
Allison: more

horse complaints have been
surfacing and both Solicitor

Allison, noting that the number of recreational vehicles
parked in the village has
grown noticeably in recent
years.
Sporadic complaints of
storage <ind parking;, <::au"' ·

have normally been resolved
quickly and amicably. Now a
number of complaints has
been registered about one
particular tr a i 1 e r home
parked in a vacant lot, and
it is these that caused council to focus more acutely
on the entire matter of parking.
Corbin explained that the
current ordinance covering
such vehicles is rather loose

By JEAN SANKER
Here's to all the young fellows who have served in
Vietnam, with a special salute to two who are sharing their
wartime memories with us for this Memorial Day issue
of the Village Views•
Tom Ader and Tim Calvert were boyhood friends from
the time they can remember and, as elementary school
students, often played soldier and enemy with their guns
and swords. They never dreamed then that one day they
would be real soldiers fighting real enemies in a strange,
faraway village in a country hardly heard of at that time.
Both joined the Marine Corps at different times. Tom
became a Leatherneck in 1966 after one year of college at
Bowling Green. That one year of college was influential
in his being chosen for special training in Okinawa
for service in a reconnaissance unit.
Tim, meanwhile, was at Austing Colle.ge in Sherman,
Texas, joining the Marines in 1969.
Both admit joining because they wanted to "get into
the action" and, knowing of the Marines' reputation for
hard discipline, good training and respect, chose that
branch of service rather than . waiting to be drafted.
More Actfon Than Anti,ipated
Both saw more action than they had anticipated. Tom,
serving with a reconnaissance unit of twenty-twomen, saw
all men wounde<1 at least once, some more than that,
some fatally.
Tom considered 'himself lucky to be injured just once,
especially as he participated in the only reconoperation
that ever went north of the DMZ.
Tim, as a Marine officer, was in charge of guarding
hamlets. Here the differences in cutlure, the differences
in fighting methods and attitudes were especially noticeable
and frustrating ~or the AmericaP-s.
The cruelties and the hardness were there, just as we
have heard, but it became part of the Americans' way of
life, too, and Tom and Tim admit it was a terrific
adjustment, and a big decision, for them when they
finally came home to try to return to being the person
they were before Vietnam.

Two years later when Tim was there the tide had
turned and there were no more remembrances from
groups, only items of insult and disgust. Tim recalls his
leave in California wrBn no girl would dance with him
because he had short hair--and a uniform.
Not Sm·prise.d J{ow It F:nded
Neither veteran was surprised at the way in which
the war ended. In fact, t.'ley had thought it would have
ended much sooner -- but in the same way.
Both were in accord with unconditional amnesty.
"If I had come home in a wheelchair, I might not feel that
way,'' says Tom, "but I ho_!')e I would not have been
bitter. Each of those fellowo had his individual reason
for what he did and I think now they all should be allowed
to return and start over . "
Of couree, they are: glad it is over and they hope that
no future generation will ever have to fight. In fact,
Tom and his wife, Sandy, who are expecting their first
child any day, agree that if it's a boy, there will be no
toys of destruction, no guns, no cannons, no GI J oes.
Tom has his Masters Degree from Xavier and is
teaching sixth grade in Forest Hills, Anderson Township.
Tim received his degree in Political Science from
UC and is attending Chase Law School, hoping to get
his law degree. He is employed in the Trust Department
of the First National Bank. He and his wife, Debbie,
have just moved to Hyde Park.
Tim's parents are Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Calvert of

and Mrs. Ader, now living in Mariemont, but formerly of Terrace Park.

~ g May in efforts to halt
~ instream gravel q>eralQDs of the Evwalt Gravel
near Terrace Park.
·Terrace Park had sought
bearing before the Hamilllll County Zoning Board of
ippeals to petition that the
ariance permit of the gravel
ompany be revoked for vio:ttions of the conditions of
1e permit.
Attorneys for the Kunz
ravel operation asked for
n injunction against both
errace Park and the County
:o.
Board of Appeals to prevent
them from holding such a
hearing.
Little Miami Inc. also
filed a motion to intervene
on behalf of Terrace Park's
position.
Judge Matthews of Common Pleas Court ruled that
he would not grant a permanent injunction, that the
hearing could proceed and
that the law permitting revocation of a variance permit
is constitutional.
Terrace Park has been
represented in this case by
attorneys Robert Leming,
Ray Cadwallader and Ken
Schnieder.
In the State's case, Judge
Guswieler had previously
ordered removal of the dam
built across the Little Miami
River by the gravel operator
which then
appealed the
Common Pleas Court Decision.
The Court of Appeals in
a strongly-worded decision
upheld the ruling by Judge
Guswieler.
At press time it was not
known if the gravel company
will appeal either case to
higher courts.

The Tables Down At Stumps
By Dick Forbes
WHEN YOU CON SIDER Stumps Boat Club you are
considering any number of amazing things. Ripley's
Believe It or Not would have a field day.
Stumps has been a functioning organization since
well before the turn of the century, yet hardly anyone
knows where it is. And I am not about to pinpoint it,
except to say it's on the Little Miami River west of
Milford.
As a boat club, it now owns one canoe. "once in
a while Richard Kasser (a member) gets it out and
paddles around a little bit," says Luther Russell, 81,
who is manager, cook, caretaker, and has been
there 55 years this month. In some ways, one
member said, "he IS Stumps Boat Club."
It is listed in the telephone directory as located
at
"Robinson's
Station," but the directory
publishers agree that there is no such place, and
that no other home or business in the book shows
that address.
Many of the most prominent citizens in the
area have belonged to Stumps over the last 90
years, yet the unwritten rule of the members
is to shun all publicity. One of the most wellknown men in the city, William McGrath, died
recently. His obituary included memberships in
all
sorts of exclusive organizations, but not
Stumps. Yet his name is still on one plaque
showing the list of members in Stumps clubhouse. It will be removed eventually.
The Enquirer's library, one of the most extensive in the area, shows no clippings or photos
of Stumps.
It has survived a half-dozen wars, big and
small; several floods, including the monster of
1937; the deprei;,sion, when membership dropped
to nine, tornadoes and three fires ~hat destroyed
the clubhouse each time.
Stumps' biggest problem, at the moment, is the
age of its members, but they have had it before.
And once again the old club is apparently fighting
back. The newest addition to the current membership roster of 29 is John Ruthven, a noted localartist who may signal the start of a youth movement.
***
TO REACH THE CLUB you must drive down a
long, single lane, gutted road that makes you
swerve the car back and forth to preserve its
tires. The entrance is masked by two massive
stone pillars about six feet high. Then a wellblacktopped driveway leads you through the neatly kept grounds where Louie Huff, a bachelor who
is a rookie employee of only 33 years, was
mowing the lawn.
Louie also doubles as bartender for parties,
and one night - · long after all but four guests
had gone - Warren Giles could be heard summoning Huff for a fresh sarsaparilla.
"Louieeee," he would call, sitting on a lawn
chair by the river, his voice echoing through
the woods. Louie would shortly appear with the
encore, along with fresh glasses for the other
three talking baseball, football and telling untrue
stories.
Luther Russel, after a hitch in France in
World War I, has been at Stumps since 1920
and explained the listing of Robinson's Station.
"Members and their familes would take the train
downtown," he recalled, "and the Pennsylvania
Railroad would let them off in Terrace Park
opposite the postoffice. It was called Robinson's."
There was another way to the club until about
1935, guessed Luther. "You could come out on the
old Mariemont-Milford interurban."
Pictures and placards in the clubhouse tell of
sports and similar activities. A 3-foot by 2-foot
broadside advertises: "BASEBALL- Blue Rock

There are snapshots of the party the members threw for Luther on September 3, 1970,
on the occasion of his 50th anniversary running

and later washed dishes. Later he went on a

moved swiftly into routine
committee reports at its
meeting on Tuesdayevening,

regular meeting hour, when
comments were heard from
arriving visitors.
First to speak was an
invited guest, James Lowry,
Hamilton County Director of
Development.
Lowry displayed the latest conceptual
plan for development of the
river edge of the proposed
Kroger Hills Park. He said
the park will definitely" go"
since approval has been received from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Still needed is approval from
the Federal Bureau of Outdoor

Lowry anticipates within the
next 30-60 days.

A Bicycle Trail Someday
The railroad first came to Terrace Park over 130
years ago, and this weed-grown, rusty length of track
near the Elm Avenue overpass once was the busy main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Cincinnati to the
east. Now Sen. Vance Hartke, Indiana Democrat, wants
Congress to put up $25 million to buy tliis and other
abandoned or virtually-abandoned .stretches of right-ofway for use as public hiking and bicycling trails. His
proposal would convert the right-of-way to such use
from Clare Yards in Mariemont to near Xenia, via
Terrace Park, Milford, Loveland, South Lebanon and
Morrow.

Le·tter A bout Recycling
Program Project
By BILL SCHMIDT
The recycling program is
thriving, but it is also on the
verge of dying.
Paradoxical on the surface - the
opening line
reflects a real situation. The
community is supporting the
Mariemont High School Envi r on men t Group's Recycling Program enthusisastically, while Mariemont
High School student support
of the program is atlowebb.
The Group co~lects five to
ten tons of paper on each
recycling day, as well as two
tons of glass and a ton of tin.
The work involved in collecting and processing this
material is hard. A month
ago, for instance, we finished
at 9:30 p.m. Two weeks ago
the recyclers quit at 6:30.
We were able to do so by
not completing nearly half of
the pick-up run.
The
reasons for the
growth of the program aren't
too difHcult to detect. The
persistence of the program,
the regular pick-up service,
the constant flow of favorable
and informative publicity,
the demise of several other
nearby collecting programs,
rnd the public-mindedness of
local citizens have produced
:. deluge of materials.
Causes of student disinterest
aren't
quite as
clear, but several reasons
seem plausible. The novelty
has worn off. The recycling
program is in its fourth
year. We were told at the
beginning that the average
life of a recycling group is
six months. Perhaps a loss
of interest is to be expected.
Other factors seem to be
ait work, though. The group
that initiated the program
-- as strongly committed to
social action, was somewhat
anti-establishment, and was
certainly
optimistic about
;:ollective
initiative. Students have changed.
The
events of the past two or
three years have modified
student concerns and interests considerably. In addition, the success of the high
chool athletic program may
.1ave lessened enthusiasm
for non-athletic extra-curriculars. Mariemont High
School is uni: a large school.
Students are pulled in many
directions. Athletic success
and community supportforit
have certainly shifted enthusiasm to that area.
Dramatics and school publications are
feeling the
same pinch. Students can
only do so much. If athletics
confer status, the majority
of students will opt for athletics.
This is not to cast blame it is only to point out a fact
of life. The size of the school
aliows students to· participate in several sports.
Sports today are highlytimec on sum in g. Students involved in sports have little
time or energy for another
time and energy consuming
activity such as recycling,
especially if the rewards are
much less tangible than they
are in athletics. Add to that
the growth and popularity of
the girls' athletic program,
and the number of available
recyclers is small.
In the past there were
also several students who
were available to do mechanical work on the truck,
to drive the truck during the
week in order to haul in the
collected materials, and to
assist with loading and hauling the materials. Now most
of those students are at the
Live Oaks Career Center
and are not available to help.
The problem created is
an increasing inability of the
the recyclers to handle the
growing amounts of materials. Typically, the past
two recycling days were concluded with two students and
an
adviser struggling to
handle the overflow. One student has maintained the Terrace Park satellite station
with very little assistance.
The situation is that of having
too few to do too much. If the
pr!Jgram is to continue at all,
it must be altered in format.
After much discussion
and thought, we have decided
to try an altered format beginning on June 14, the first
regular recycling day after
school is out for the summer:
1. Elimination of the satellite station in Terrace Park.
We are asking recyclers
there to bring their materials to the station at the
high school stadium - at the
regular time - from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
2. Elimination of the pickup rote. We will pick up only
at those stops where bulk or
lack of transportation makes
it impossible for the recycler to bring the materials
to the high school recycling
station. To arrange a pickup you .must contact Mr.
Schmidt at the high school
271-8310. Preference will
be given to apartment pickups and to elderly recyclers
who lack transportation.
3. Do not bring materials
except between 10 and 5 on
the second and fourth Saturday of each month. If you
cannot come then, consider
the following alternatives:
Indian Hill High School is
operating a station on the
first and third Saturdays of
each month, Cincinnati Experience operates everyday
just off Calhoun Street behind
St. George Church near the
University of Cincinnati, and
Purcell High School operates
a station at Hyde ParkPlaza
on at least two Saturdays a
month.
These are the 1945 Terrace Park School Basketball

Have you ever thought of Red Bird Lake as a rest stop?
This spring a large variety of migrating water birds
found it convenient to rest there overnight, or for a few
days. Species that have been "spotted" include Canada
geese, great blue heron, green heron, coot and the following ducks: goldeneye, blue-winged teal, scaup, bufflehead
and wood ducks. Previously, sightings include ringnecked
ducks, mallard, green-winged teal.and piedbilled grebes.

The rewards are instead the
satisfactions of seeing and
helping the children's
growth.
The undertaking is truly
an impressive one, whether
measured by the number of
programs offered or by the
number of children participating. There are presently
nine programs available including both individual· and
team activities, with over
650 children on 36 different
teams in 1974 alone.
The Committee consists
of twelve men and women
who have the multiple responsibilities · of securing
coaches, scheduling games,
equipment procurement and
field maintenance. In addition it has rebuilt the basebase b a 11 field bleachers,
restored the log cabin and the
log cabin area and most
recently sponsored the teen
dance, held by some sophomore students, this past
winter.
The entire program is
self supporting - no village·
'funds are involved. There is
only one method of fund
raising used to support all
the programs -- the annual
Labor Day Festival.
The C om m it t e e has
actively sought the participation of all those in the
community who have an
interest in any of the programs - as committee members, coaches, part-time
assistants or spectators.

Council Denies Speed Trap Operation · To Appeal It
Not Seeking
Volume VJJ, Issue 7
July, 1975
Terrace Park, Ohio
......
By ELLIS RAWNSLEY
Hotly denying that Terrace Park has been aperating a speed trap, village
council plans to seek state
intervention against a courtordered 50 mph speed limit
on Wooster Pike between
Wren wood Lane and the
western corporation limit.
Common Pleas Judge
William S. Mathews gave the
order in granting an injunction to Dale Forney, of Williamsburg, Ohio, who had
sued both Terrace Park and
Newtown charging imposition of illegal speed limits.
The judge acted after inspecting the Terrace Park area
and two streets in Newtown.
AN ODDITY in the situation is that, according to
police records, Forney has
never been arrested for
speeding in Terrace Park.
The speed trap charge
came from Edward K. Halaby, a Cincinnati attorney
representing Forney, who
said there are probably 20

Officials To Ponder
Purchasing 20 Acres
Terrace Park's village
:ouncil intends to explore
he
possibility of village
>urchase of property be:ween the Swim Club and
,rumps Boat Club.
The area, estimated at
;ome 20 acres, would proride area for expanded recceation facilities, and serve
ts a buffer between Terrace
~ark and the Kroger Hills
;rate-county park soon to be
level oped.
The possibility of such
l purchase was touched on at
be July council meeting, but
:ouncilmen agreed to go into
t further at a closed comnittee-of-the whole meetng.
An earlier view had been
hat creation of the newpark
vould provide space for soc:er fields and such that could
e used by Terrace Park
·esidents. But Jack Richard1on, member of the Recreaion Committee, noted in a
etter to Mayor Frank Corbin
hat Terrace Park would
tave no control over use of
he facilities, so that the
enefit to the village would
e more apparent than real.
The letter is printed elserhere in the Village Views.)
C ONSIDE RATION of the
iew proposal came quickly
~ the heels of two developoents concerning the Little
Uami River area between
·errace Park and Newtown.
The .Hamilton County
Board of Park Commissioners announced early in the
month that theyhadarranged
to purchase the Little Miami
Golf Center on C h u r ch
Street, Newtown, bordering
the river.
Little Miami, Inc. announced plans to use funds
provided by Charles Sawyer,
Cincinnati philanthropist and
former U.S. Secretary of
Commerce, to buy the Bass
Island area south of the Newtown bridge.
Development of both acquisitions will be co-ordinated with development of the
Kroger Hills area adjoining.
The Ohio Department of
Natural Resources has made
a grant of $300,000toHamilton C aunty to acquire parklands, matching a gift to the
state of the Kroger Hills
camp site negotiated by the
Cincinnati Park Board and
Little Miami Inc. The Hamilton County Community Development Department will
add a $266,000 federal grant
to_ the project.

Re-E"lection
Corbin Says
Fire Dept. - Council Friction Flares
Friction between the village volunteer fire department and village council
flared into the open at the
July council meeting.
Representing Fire Chief
Lee Stegemeyer, who was
absent, Pierce
Matthews
read a statement from the
chief charging members of
council with ignoring his
recommendations concerning a new fire truck, a new
fire house, and firemen's
pay.
Councilman Dick Griffith, head of the Safety
Committee charged with
overseeing fire and police
department operations, said
he was "shocked" by the
state men t, acknowledged
''some disagreement" on
firehouse costs, countered
that the committee had received no pay recommendations, and said that "we are
doing our best."
Mayor Frank Corbin said
the tape-recorded statement
would be studied and dis:..
cussed "to find the points
of friction and work things
our," adding that council
was "trying to co-operate."
Stegemeyer cur re n tl y
receives $120 a year as head
of the Fire Department and
Life Squad. Firemen and Life
Squad members received
nominal pay: for drills att ended, but no pay for
emergency service at fires
or on life squad runs.
STEGEMEYER'S MAJOR
complaint, h owe ve r, concerned plans for an addition
to the present fire station
behind the Community House
to house a new pumper for
which bids have. been received but which will not
be delivered for more than
a year. Griffith told council bids on the addition are
expected within 30 days.
But the fire chief said
the present station is overcrowded and hazardous for
fire and Life Squad personnel to work in, and that his
information concerning the
proposed changes to house
a bigger fire truck not only
would not improve the situation but would also cut
down the space available for
training sessions.
The expansion plans call
for razing the frame building
which now contains the department's meeting room,
and putting up the new addition on that site. Matthews
told council that members of
the department had volunteered to help raze the
building.
Stegemeyer' s statement
said that while council delayed in acting on recommendations concerning a new
fire truck, costs have risen
to the extent that the village
will be paying as much for
a less fully-equipped truck
as it would for the equipment originally suggested.
Life Squad Newcomers
Newcomers to the Terrace Park Life Squad, fatherand-son combination Jack Richardson and son John, of
124 Winding Brook, find that cleaning equipment is a
constant but important chore. However, John has found
squad work so fascinating he's thinking of going inro,

Letters
Mr. Frank Corbin, Mayor
Terrace Park, Ohio
Dear Frank:
Your June 26 letter to
Terr ace Park residents
causes me to express in
writing what I have been
mulling over for weeks. I
believe that council should
go back to page one in the
consideration of future recreational needs. Specifically,
I believe the proposed village
tie-in to the development of
Kroger Park is ill-advised.
I. Outside money means
outside control.
2. As it stands, our chilren know who is on the
playfield with them.
Should outsiders appear and start trouble, I assume Chief
Hiatt and his men have
the appropriate backing to sort and escort
according to Terrace
Park rules.
3. I believe we are kidding ourselves about
the great benefit of
additional ball fields.
Assuming that I am
correct on point 1 regarding outside
money and control,
look for adult softball
games to the exclusion of other usage.
My experience in Cincinnati is basis for
this statement. Our
knothole team was
able to schedule (one)
after 6 p.m. game in
ten years. We were put
off the fields at 6p.m,
game finished or not.
4. Reflecting again on my
C inc inn at i experience, and in an area
of more importance,
my children were not
allowed in Ault Park
day or night without
strict adult supervision. That is a well
kept park in a good
The
neighborhood.
problem is that the
people in the neighborhood don't control the park anymore
than we will control
Kroger Park.
The existance of the proposed Kroger Park will be
an attraction for more old
white cars and other undesirable problems.
The bird watchers and
ball players should sit down
together and discuss their
common interests - Terrace
Park. Kroger Park isnotthe
answer to the recreational
needs of our children or
adults. The nature preserve
advocates will lose control
of their fields.
Thanks to you and to the
other council members for
your efforts to keep Terrace Park a good place in
which to live.
Sincerely yours,
Jack Richardson

Pete Smith, 244 Rugby
Avenue, suggested the idea
as a quick way· for both
police and residents to check
on whether a suspicious car
is legitimately in the area.
His proposal was referred
to the Safety Committee of
village council to investigate
the Amberley Village experience.
The suggestion was made
in a letter to Mayor Frank
Corbin commending his recent message to residents
reporting on an attempted
rape and seeking public cooperation in alerting the
police department to any
susp1c1ous circumstances.
The mayor said he had received no negative reaction
to his letter.
Police Chief Bob Hiett
meantime reported no arrest
in the reported rape attempt.
He said several suspects
had been questioned but all
had been able to clearthemselves.
A Reminder:
Conceding that Milford
"has a real problem," Terrace Park council plans to
keep a close watch on proposals that could set up a
gravel dredging operation in
the Little Miami River in the
stretch a short distance below the Milford bridge.
Residents of the Michigan-Miami Avenue area
voiced fear at the July
council meeting that the
plans would speed the flow
of the stream and cause
washing problems in Terrace Park.
-Under concern is a low
island in the river, privately-owned but leased to
Walter Kuntz for dredging,
although actual work has
been held up by legal action.
The island has caused
serious washing of the bank
on the Milford side of the
river, threatening homes
and a sewer line on Mound
Street. Council was told that
a 75-foot strip of bank had
fallen into the river so far
this year.
THE ISLAND IS wholly
within the corporate limits
of Milford, and so is outside the jurisdiction of the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources and its control
over scenic river provisions
Four Injuries Public Notice
Power-Related
By Dennis Elliott
The Terrace Park Fire
Department Life Squad has
made four runs this summer
involving power-related injuries. The people injured
were adults, not children.
So, please observe these
power mower rules:
-- Ne v e r refuel when
mower is running.
-- Never put your hands
or feet under the mower
deck or into the discharge
port while it's running. Turn
off the mowertoemptygrass
bag, if used.
-- Never remove the
blade to sharpen it without
first disconnecting the spark
plug. This is also true while
changing oil.
-- Never mow in tennis
shoes, sandals or no shoes
at all. Steel-toe shoes are
recommended.
They are
available for women.
-- Never mow a steep
slope from the bottom. Do
it from the top -- use a
rope, if necessary -- or
from side to side on a gentle
slope.
-- Never mow over debris; small stones and sticks
become a deadly missile
upon being struck and can
injure you or someone else.
REMEMBER: A rib is
the only bone in our body
that grows back, fingers and
toes do not, and there are
no replacements for eyes.
(We can always use more
people, particularly Life
Squad. We have positions
open now••• P.S. We need
a refrigerator.)
The Terrace Park Swim
Club will host the Swim
Finals of the 16-Club membership of the Private Pool
Swim League on Saturday,
August 16, starting at 1 p.m.
Admission is $1 for
adults and 50 cents for children. This price includes
heat sheets.
Some of the best young
swimmers from the greater
Cincinnati area will perform. Come on down, but
please don't drive your car
because the parking will be
one monumental problem.
See you at the Finals!
of the law. However, Village
Clerk Don Franke, active in
the organization seeking to
preserve the river, said that
group was "strongly opposed" to any dredging plans
and would take court action
if need be.
Mayor Frank Corbin and
Councilman Dick Griffith
noted the seriousness of the
erosion problem to Milford
residents, but said they were
anxious that anything done
"not cause any prdblems
for us."
Corbin said that Milford
off i c i a 1 s
were
being
''extremely co-operative"
and reported that Bob Vogt
of Terrace Park, a civil
engineer, had been called on
to make a study and to report
his findings next month.
One question, council was
told, was whether the riverbank collapse in Milford is
in fact the result of river
action, or of water seepage
through the bank itself,
causing the undermining.
For 52 Years
As of June 15, 1975,
Terrace Park has had a
Planning and Zoning Ordinance for 52 years. It outlined four pages of powers
and duties. There was no
Board of Appeals at first,
that came a year or two
later.
The only recourse
then was to the courts.

Combes. Wotson, why are
those helicopters hovering over the bridges?
Wotson. They're reporting
traffic conditions on the
bridges and approach
roads.
Combes. How can a helicopter report?
Wotson. Now, now, Combes.
The helicopters aren't
saying anything but a
policeman in each of them
is broadcasting over a
local radio station. I
heard one a few minutes
ago.
Combes. And what did he
report?
Wotson. He advised motorists to leave their cars
on the bridges overnight,
and to find local accommodations.
Southbound
traffic is backed up to
Wapakoneta, and northbound traffic is stalled
from Lexington on.
Combes. Deplorable.
How
did this state of affairs
arise?
Wotson. I really don't know,
but I do have a theory.
Combes. Out with it before
you explode.
Wotson. Combes, it is my
theory that names are at
the root of the trouble.
A bridge must have an
easily recognizable
name -- like the Golden
Gate
Bridge
or the
George
Washington
Bridge. These are comforting names, very re-
assuring to drivers.
Combes. Our bridges have
names, too.
Wotson. Yes, but listen to
them. Take the bridge
officially known as the
Brent Spence Bridge. If
you listen closely, the
local pronunciation is
Bent Sprence. Now, how
do you suppose someone
from Michigan is going to
feel when he is advised
to take the Bent Sprence
Bridge over the Uhiah
River.
Combes. A little leery about
going over a bent bridge,
I agree. What about the
other bridges?
Wotson. Unless you're a
Presbyterian, you won't
fee 1 comfortable using
The Clay Wade Bailey
Bridge.
Combes. What does religion
have to do with bridges?
Wotson. Presbyterians are
accustomed to triples.
Their ministers often go
by three names. But, if
you're not accustomed to
that style--.
Combes. Yes. I understand.
There's still that
picturesque-looking relic.
Wotson. That's the Suspension Bridge. Which, if
you stare at it, is very
aptly named. But, not to
a tourist hauling a 30f oot substitute for a
mote 1. He's going to
wonder if it'll stay suspended while he and his
rig are on it.
Combes. It's a puzzle tome,
A Gas Shorta~e?
Wotson, just how the
bridges were named.
Wotson. Kentucky did it.
Kentucky owns the river.
Combes. Kentucky owns our
river? the Uhi--, the
Ohio?
Wotson. A legacy to the
C om m on we a 1 t h from
ear 1 y settlers on that
side. Some of them were
distillers who thought
big. They staked a claim
to the whole river to assure themselves of an
adequate water supply.
Combes. Something must be
done. Ah, you have another theory. I can tell.
Wotson. Not a theory this
time but a plan. We need
another bridge with a
better name. Now, doyou
remember the sausages
we had at a restaurant
the other day?
Combes. Do I remember I
We had to borrow a
double-bitted ax from the
proprietor to cut through
the skin.
Wotson. Then listen to this.
My scheme will work, and
it'll work quickly. We'll
throw a floating bridge,
a pontoon bridge, across
the river at the Public
Landing. For pontoons,
we'll use the very best:
those sausages.
Combes. Genius at work,
Wotson. Well done. Wait,

bridge be called?
Wotson. That's the best
part. The bridge will have
two names. On our side,

The sign on the

that, it will be years
before anyone over there
finds out that it isn't one

even the

They'll think that it is

Terrace Park Council Breezes Through Its Agenda
By LYNN NELSON
Sultry weather notwithstanding, village council kept
its cool on Tuesday evening,
August 12, as Mayor Frank
Corbin led fellowlawmakers
rather swiftly through an
ordered, more relaxed agenda.
Monthly committee reports were briefer than
usual, and it was only at
meeting's end, when the
newly-printed codification of
village ordinances was reviewed, that discussion
slowed.
Milford City Manager
".Mac" Gosney, vi siting
guest, was introduced by
Corbin. Gosney discussed
recent developments for
correction of the l;lerious
erosion problem along
Mound Street in Milford.
Bob Vogt, ~errace Park
resident and consulting civil.
engineer hired by Milford
council to study the situation, has recommended the
use of gabions to prevent
further soil wash along the
Little Miami bank. These
are wire cages, filled wlth
rock and stone, that would
be placed along the river's
edge for approximately 300400 feet and to a height of
24 feet.
Above the gabi on s,
reaching to a height of about
70 feet, w o u 1 d come fill
gravel, mixed with some top
soil and planted with vines
and other greenery to make
the entire project more
aesthetically pleasing to the
eye.

Owner Rejects Land Price
Offer By TP
Acting at the request of
Village Council, Solicitor
Bob Leming and Ferd Crit·chell met recently with a
representative of the owner
of land behind the Swim Club
and suggested a purchase
price of $3000 an acre for
roughly 23 acres.
This request was the result of a closed committee..of-the-whole meeting held
July 13 when the $3000price
was agreed upon. The acreage would be used for addi ..
tional recreational facilities
so long under consideration
here, and be independent of
the new Kroger Hills statecounty park.
At the August 12 council
meeting, Leming said the
offer was rejected by the
owner's representative who
countered with a $6000 $7000 figure. This 'price
prompted Leming to do some
research into other property
that has been sold in the
State for similar use. Based
on this research, and his
understanding of the owner's
personal financial circumstances, Leming recommended that the $3000 per
acre price not be increased.

Dear Terrace Park Residents
On Friday morning, August 22, the Terrace Park Police made an
arrest on a charge of attempted rape.
We all commend our Police Department for its handling of this
matter, They are entitled to take deserved pride in their
performance,
We also commend most highly one of our residents, who reported
a suspicious vehicle. This lead was the key bit of information
that broke the case. This example of help should be remembered
by each resident, for our Police are eager to know of any
suspicious people or events. You don't trouble them with your
reports, you help them! Don't hesitate to call. You pay your
taxes for a police force and a communication system. Use it.
The number i.s 825,-.2280.
Finally, we would urge that you continue to be mindful of your
children, for the person arrested is just one of many such
people, So far this year we have arrested one person for
importuning, and a different person for exposing himself. Only
through your continuing concern, vigilance, and cooperation can
we make Terrace Park as safe as possible.

Volume VII, Issue 9
T?rrace Park, Ohio
Council Members Briefed On Status Of
BBS Co.'s Zoning Change Requests
Reading from a prepared
statement, to diminish the
possibility for mis-unders tan ding, Planning
and
Zoning Commission Chairman
Ray C ad w a 11 ad er
briefed village council members, at their September 9
meeting, on the current status of BBS Co.
Reporting on behalf of
commission, Cadwalthe
lader reviewed BBS Co's
request for a zoning change
on two land parcels located
at the i n t e r s e c t i o n
of
Wooster Pike and Elm Road.
One is the 2.36 acres popularly known as the Elephant
Hole on the northern side
ex the corner, and the secood is the 6. 75 acres on the
south side of Elm. The Ele~hant Hole is currently zoned
Residential AA while the
11orthern triangle, previously planned for an office com~lex, is zoned commercial.
BBS Co. now wishes to
~uild a 38-unit housingproj~cton these two sites:~nifie
mits to be located in the
torthern tract, and 28 in the
;outhern. A zoning change
ii'ould be required to initiate
mch a development since
rerrace Park has no zoning
:or multi-unit housing.
Cadwallader
advised
:ouncil that the P&Z Comnission has held three meetings on this subject, and that
nembers are inclined to be
receptive to BBS Co's plans
lrith certain contingencies.
1uoting from Cadwallader' s
natement, these contingen:ies are:
1. The 2. 36 acres should
:ontain only that number of
mits which would be appli:able to the present zoning
:n it. We do not oppose the
condominium aspects of the
ownership - merely the variations requested from the
present zone requirements.
2. Our approval of the
project would be conditioned
upon the results of certain
legal actions now occuring.
These · actions, upon being
decided by the courts of Ohio,
will determine whether a
sewerage treatment plant
can be constructed in the
.. Flood Plain" tu serve this
project. Without this determination, our
decision
would be an exercise.
3. The entire project
would be presented to the
Planning and Zoning Commission in final plan format
so that we may approve and
Council may vary the plans
as we mutually deem fitting.
("'Unit Planned Development")
4. Proponents must submit to the Planning and Zoning Commission a set of
Condominium D o cum e n ts
including
the prospective
ownership of ·the sewerage
treatment and the contract,
if any, between the Condominium Association and
the ownership of the Sewerage treatment plant .(assuming
these two are
separate entities).
If these documents and
conditions are acceptable to
the
Planning and Zoning
Commission, then the Commission would unanimously
approve the project."
Following
Ray's
remarks, an artist's renderings of the overall layout
and of the style of condom1 n 1 um
architecture were
presented.
Jack Brendamour, also present, offered
more complete details in
response to council questions.
Cadwallader commented that members of the
commission have toured a
similar project built in Glendale by the developer, and
found it aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
- Mayor -Franl<Corbinun.:··
derscored the need for good
communication
on
this
subject between council and
BBS Co. He urged all council
members to speak and/or
write their concerns to the
P & Z Commission as already both sides have much
time invested in discussion.
Corbin also noted that a
public hearing will be held
on the matter before any
official c o u n c i I action is
taken. Finally, Cadwallader
stressed the commission's
c on c e r n that should a
zoning change be granted
for the BBS Co. property,
such change would not effect
other Terrace Park property.
Other Action
In view of the time consumed on this subject, plus
time spent at the meeting's
conclusion for continued review of codification of village
ordinances, committee reports were kept brief. High-
1 i g ht s
on these fronts
included:
- Passage of resolution
granting installation of a new
guard rail and fencing across
the
Elm
Road railroad
bridge. The work, to begin
promptly, will be done by
the Security Fence Company, and the major cost
will be paid by county funds.
- Approval
of a $500
maximum expenditure for
experimental testing on
Cambridge Avenue of the
more durable Slurry Seal
road resurfacing method.
- Authorization to the
Building and Grounds Committee to reinitiate proper
maintenance and "clean up"
of grounds and trees along
Te r r ace Place, between
Rugby and Oxford.
- Second reading approval of a proposed rate
scale increase for village
Fire and Life Squad volunteers. Minor revisions were
incorporated into the resoflltion-offered an.a accepl:ed ·
at the last council meeting.
Total additional cost to the
village is projected at about
$1000.
- Notification from Indian Hill Police of discont in u at i on
of their free
breathalyzer service to
surrounding communities,
including Terrace Park.
- Approval of a resolution requesting the Director of Transportation, State
of Ohio, to de t e r m i n e a·
reasonable and safe speed
limit for
motor vehicles'
using Wooster Pike between
the western boundary of Elm
Road and the eastern corporate limits of the village.
This resulted from the recent -increase of the speed
limit from 35 to 50 mph on
the stretch between Wrenwood Lane and the western
limits of Terrace Park, an
action opposed by council.
Council will meet next
October 14.
Flood Insurance
The subject of Federal flood plain insurance was again
brought to the attention of village council members at
their September meeting when Mayor Frank Corbin reviewed the latest developments in this area.
Corbin showed council a map he had received from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development illustrating
village streets that HUD considers prone toeitherflooding
or mud slides. Areas so delineated include the Wilderness
Preserve, Swim Club, virtually all land east of Miami
Avenue, plus Robinwood and Circus Place.
To qualify for Federal flood plain insurance, zoning
changes within the Park must be approved. Corbin, along
with other council members, believes the map is inaccurately drawn, sohe has requested HUD to send a qualified
representative to the October council meeting who can
knowiedgeably explain the program.
Village Engineer Carl Lindell strongly recommended
council's getting realistic elevation figures before deciding this issue.

LMI Reiects
50 Plan
by Don Franke
Little Miami Inc. rejects
the route for relocated U.S.
50 as proposed in the VogtLowry plan described in last
month's Village Views.
A unanimous resolution
to this effect was passed by
LMI' s Lower Council and the
Executive Board.
The
organization finds
Vogt-Lowry ~Ian violates
every criteria necessary to
protect the Little Miami
River and its setting.

corridor should be built so

Pa:rticularly, no road should

strip at the confluence with
the East Fork. · · ·

Additionally, the impact
of highway noise, on a continuous basis, will d<;itract

1 he1 c are extenuating
circumstances -- there always are--but it's too bad
that, with the need to do
something about the village
firehouse, village
council
has given no really serious
consideration to providing
the kind of headquarters that
the voluntter firemen of a
village like Terrace Park
should have.
The emphasis is on "volunteer." This is an organization of residents of the
village banded together to
serve
the
entire commun it y--one
of the last
vestiges of volunteer community action that once was
prevalent in America and
should be fostered in any
possible way.
It's a side
issue that the fire insurance
bills of every householder
in the village would be at
least one-third higher if the
volunteer fire department
didn't exist. The value of
lives saved by the Life Squad
unit of the department can't
be calculated.
But ever since the Volunteer Fire Department was
organized 33 years ago-with a fire truck the firemen
built themselves--housing
for the department has been
on a makeshift basis, starting with a one-car wood
garage in which the village
used to keep its garbage
truck.
That same garage
still is in use as the depart men t' s meeting and
training room. Currentfirehouse plans would curtail
even that limited space.

Because the relocated

the impact of this situation
would be intensified just as
it has been in the I-75 corridor through Mill Creek

and would significantly increase air pollution in the
Terrace Park area.

major source of water pollution, including siltation,

During the past year St.
Thomas Church has initiated
major changes in the progr am
of study preparing
young people for Confirmation.
Complying with the dire c ti on expressed by the
Episcopal Church's General
Convention in Louisville in
1973 that confirmation vows
should reflect mature commitment on the part of those
making them, St. Thomas is
now presenting young people
for Confirmation at the end
of their ninth grade year
following a three-year preparatory course of study.
This course, open to any
interested boys or girls of
the community, utilizes a
variety of approaches including a Sunday morning
church school class; periodic Saturday morning corporate communion, breakfast and study sessions with
parents and/or sponsors;
and occasional overnight
conferences at St. Edmund's
Conference Center in Glendale.
The c on t e n t of study
differs in each of the three
years. The first year focuses
mainly on the basics of the
Christian faith; the second
on application of these basics
to one's personal life and
the establishment of values;
the third on active service
in the Christian community
and the world.
A unique feature is the
freedom allowed a
young
person to decide when and
if he/she is ready. They are
permitted to enter, dropout,
re-enter at any time providing only that certain basic
standards are met. It is
hoped in this way to guide
the
students through the
mercurial emotions of the
junior high years and enable
them to make a mature and
lasting committment if and
when they are ready to do so.
This fall will begin the
second year of this innovative program. There will be
both first year (7th grade)
and second year (8th grade)
groups meeting. Any member of the community who
is interested in further information is invited to call
the church and talk to either
the Rev. Robert Gerhard,
Rector, or

Codification Of All
Ordinances Near End
Codification of all village ordinances has been a
long time in coming, but it appears the end is in sight.
Back on January 21, 1974, village council entered
into an agreement with the Walter H. Drane Company,
Cleveland, to do the job at a cost of $5500. It would be
a formidable organizational task, requiring someone to
wade through 18 volumes, unordered, which contained
all village ordinances "on the books."
Advantages included placement of all laws of a general
nature under one cover, for easy reference, and an
overall professional review, bringing .the village into
line with State laws, as well as acknowledging municipal
gaps. A cross reference would be supplied, and the
finished product would make life especially easier for
the Solicitor who must frequently refer to alreadyapproved ordinances.
At the conclusion of the August and September council
meetings members began a page-by-page review of the
almost-finished edition which now needs only final approval. This review in itself is time-consuming since
the book contains some 200 pages and must be studied
for content as well as misspellings and deletions.
Hopefully all will be finished by October.

1200 miles southeast of Australia lies the island nation
of New Zealand which has
become home away from
home for Amy Washburn, of
Terrace Park. Amy is one
of 20 recipients of an American Field Service (AFS)
scholarship to New Zealand
for a year.
Recently I corresponded
with her for a Young People
story. She wrote she left
Cincinnati in mid-January
bound for San Francisco
where her AFS group had a
day of cross-cultural orientation. The following day the

also works part-time in the
shop as do the children.
Amy had foundNewZeallanders, in general, to have
a good a t tit u de toward
Americans. "I haven't, as
yet, met anyone who violently
hates
Americans. Most
people seem to think of us
as rich with big cars. They
also tend to identify us with
such things as skyscrapers,
Wild West cowboys, andpollution. It seems that the
average
New Zealander
knows much about the world
and current events, more so
than most Americans do,"
she wrote.
Amy attends Waimate
High School with her two
host sisters. Willfried Gasser from Hallau, Switzerland, who is an AFS multina,tional program student
living in another small town,
also attends the same school.
year is
The
school
divided into three terms with
several weeks of vacation
between each. Secondary
school consists of various
forms or grades. Students
can leave school at the age
of 15 but most usually like
to receive school certification in the fifth form before
doing so.
Amy has been placed in
the sixth form, which is
comparable to the junior
year of high school here. In
this form one tries not only
to receive sixth form certification but also university entrance. In the seventh
and final form of secondary
school a student tries to attain university bursary in
which one is given financial
assistance. College scholarships and seventh form
certification are also sought.
School begins at 8:15 a.m.
and lasts until 3:30 p.m.
Amy, like other students
in the s ix th and seventh
forms, has a choice of sub-
jects and certain electives.
She is t akin g
English,
French, chemistry, physics,
mathematics, and clothing
construction. Uniforms are
mandatory for both girls and
boys and school rules are
fairly strict.
''THERE IS ONE picture
theater in Waimate and a
whole lot of things are not
offered for the youth to do
as you plan things for yourself. On Sunday mornings
I go to a mixed denominational Bible class. I play
netball which is a type of
outdoor basketball on one of
the school's teams. Sports
of all kinds, both winter and
summer varieties, are major attractions here. At the
age of 15 teenagers may
become licensed drivers and
they may vote at 18. You
must be 21 to purchase alcoholic drinks or go into
pubs," writes Amy.
She also informed me
New Zealand has only three
mi 11 i on inhabitants, yet
boasts a sheep population
exceeding 60 million or 20
sheep per person! Cattle
are also raised extensively.
The government conducts
dairy subsidies;for example,
one pint of milk costs four
cents and cream costs 26
cents per 1/2 pint.
Amy is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs~ L.H. Washburn Jr., 157 Wrenwood
Lane, Terrace Park. Upon
arrival back home in January 197 6 she will be a
senior at Mariemont High
School.

* Approved advertising

* Learned from Engineer Carl Lindell that work

Council's basic dilemma
seems to be that if the vil~~s~fl~~~
in s u ran c e
program, it
amounts to agreeing that the
village has flood-plain land,
as officially defined by the
federal government. If the
village does not join, conventional
home financing
could be denied for houses
built or sold in these areas.
Flood-plain insurance,
under the program, must be
bought for the amount of
any mortgage heid on the
property; the annual cost
of insurance is 35 cents
per $100 of coverage.
Anyone living in the village could buy the insurance; persons already living
in flood-designated areas
have a purchase option.

required for applications to

Losses from mudslides

since HUD defines a mud

o;; R;c~:val Upheld
By DON FRANKE
. The Ohio supreme Court
has upheld a Hamilton County Common Pleas Court
order for removal of a concrete dam and causeway
a c r o s s the Little Miami
River just downstream from
Terrace Park.
The dam was used as a
causeway for trucks to haul
gravel being mined on the
Columbia Township side of
the river.
The Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal from
the lower court decision, in
effect, upholds the order.
Attorneys for Walter
Kuntz, owner of the gravel
operation, have indicated the
dam-causeway will be removed by November 1.
Still pending is Kuntz' s
appeal of Common Pleas
Court's denial of an injunction that would bar a hearing
by the Hamilton CountyZoning Board of Appeals on a
petition by the Village of
Terrace Park to revoke
Kuntz' "variance" permit
for in-stream gravel mining.
Pancake Supper November I
The Terrace Park Fire
Department's annual Pancake Supper will be the evening of Saturday, November
1, at Terrace Park School.
The event is sponsored
by the Volunteer Fire Association to raise money for
the ambulance replacement
fund. The present ambulance
was bought by the association and given to the vilage.
In September, 12 mem-
ners of the fire department
took part in a fire training
school conducted by department s
in the Eastern
(Hamilton County) District
Fire Protection Association.
October 5-11 -- Fire

TO ASSIST YOU IN MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION ON MY CANDIDACY, THESE ARE THE PRINCIPLES WHICH
WOULD GUIDE ME AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ON COUNCIL:
• •
• •
• •
FISCAL CONSERVATISM in managing the Village's limited financial resources. Council must be resourceful in
finding economically feasible solutions to combat the increasing cost of operating our Village and satisfying the needs
of its residents.
PRESERVATION of the Village's unique residential character. Council must preserve the single family residential
quality of our Village which has afforded such a strong and cohesive community spirit and made Terrace Park the
desirable and wholesome place to live which it is.
STRENGTHEN COMMUNICATIONS between Council and the residents of our Village. Council must actively seek
the views of the community at large and be mindful of the sensitivities of each of its residents.

Council Airs Proposals For Development •
'
Application For Funds Gets OK
Village council approved
a resolution November 11,
authorizing the Mayor to
enter into an agreement with
Hamilton County under the
Housing and Community Development Act.
This program, now in its
second year, formerly
funded Model Cities and
u r b an redevelopment-type
projects.
With the phasing out of
these programs, the federal
funds are being rechanneled
to community activities of a
broader nature and selected
by communities themselves.
Last year Hamilton
County initiated the Kroger
Hills Development as a project of its own, and village
council felt this fairly represented the village's share.
At the meeting Mayorelect Ray Cadwallader presented a summary of the
types of projects that qualify
for funding and said, "We're
talking $15 - 18,000 in the
Council Ponders Shop Center
Signs, New Landfill Rules
Village
Council this
month reviewed various designs for signs to be erected
at entrances to the Village
Center shopping complex on
Wooster Pike.
The owners want to put
one sign on Wooster and
another on Given Road, by
the rear 8ntrance. Authority
_for two sjgns was given at
the time of construction; now
the size and design must be
approved.
Council decided Planning
and Zoning Chairman Bill
Ryan should arrange details
with the owners.
In other matters, council:
* Took under consideration a request from members of the Fire Department
and Life Squad that toilet
facilities be included in the
remodeling of the firehouse.
They said the present septic
tank could handle it. Council
also he a r d member Dick
Griffith's report that bids on
the
remodeling would be
opened November 17 and that
the
Safety Committee's
recommendations would then
be sent to all council members.
Got
acknowledgement
from the federal Department
of Housing and Urban Development that Terrace Parkis
now included in the federal
flood-plain insurance program. Homeowners may buy
such insurance through their
own agents.
case of Terrace Park."
He also explained that
Hamilton County will put together 2 countywide program
of projects, for which some
twenty-plus communities
will be applying.
Cadwallader
suggested
the following projects as
eligible for the village to
submit, noting that the list
may be amended at later
county public hearings:
* Purchase of lands near
the Wilderness Preserve in
the vicinity of the Little
Miami River.
* Purchase and clearing
of property commonly known
as Grady's Restaurant.
* Demolition and grading
of land within Terrace Park,
commonly known as the landfill, for purposes of development of recreational facilof the
Committee
Terrace Park is now officially on the waytobecoming a
Bicentennial Community and to having a grand
Bicentennial observance of
its own.
A c o m m it t e e of nine
village residents has been
formed. They held their first
meeting October 28 and more
are planned.
Marie
Gerwin, 709
Franklin Avenue, is chairwoman.
Members of the committee are:
Kebbie
Blum; Charlie
Ferguson; Ruth Lanner;
Marilyn Julnes; Stan Mil~r; PM ~n~y; Muy AM
and Charlie Gay.
Their plans at present,
Mrs. Gerwin said, are tentative and flexible.
The committee does intend, she said, to apply for
"Bicentennial Community"
status to the American Rev-,
olution. Bicentennial Administration.
"To get it," Mrs. Gerwin
said, "we must do three
things." She said the three
things, in effect, must conform to the three Bicentennial them~s of "Heritage
'76", "Horizons '76," and
"Festival USA."
Tentative plans for the
"H or i z on s" requirement
are for grading and planting
an area along Elm Road as a
memorial to the Bicentennial. The government would
make a plaque available for
this.
Other plans remain nebulous.
Mrs. Ge r win said the
committee is considering
having a five-week "birthday celebration," starting
on Memorial Day and climaxing with an "old fashioned
Fourth of July" festival.
Matching funds for Bice n ten n i a 1 projects are
available from the American
Revolution Bicentennial Administration but it is not
c e r t a i n yet whether the
committee will apply.
Mrs. Gerwin emphasized
that plans are not firm and
that ideas are still being
sought by the committee. She
urged anyone with suggestions to contact her at 8310215.
Some of the ideas already
being considered for either
the "old fashioned Fourth"
festival or the five-week Bicentennial. observance are:
A historical display in the
Community House; an arts-•
crafts show; band concert;
old-fa sh i one d
baseball
games; square dance; hayride and old-car rides; a
lecture series; a town meeting; a mock-government run
by teen-age residents; a quilt
raffle; variety acts from the
Middle School Bicentennial
Show; a flag-presentation
ceremony; ice cream social.
The Bicentennial quilt
project--the quilt is to be
raffled to help defray expenses--is already underway. A quilt, in reds, whites
and blues and depicting
scenes from Terrace Park's
past and present, has been
designed by Trudy Stevens
and will be done by volunteers under the tutelage of
Jane Petersen.
Also firmly in the works
is a pageant of historic
moments in Terrace Park's
past, a project that is being
undertaken by the Terrace
Park Players and St.
Thomas Church. It will be
presented in late May.

Editorial
Terrace . Park is applying for federal "community development" funds, in
an application made through
Hamilton County, and hoping
to have its projects selected on the countywide priority list.
The projects listed on the
village's application were
aired at a hearing conducted
along with the November 11
Village Council meeting.
one critic said he felt
there had been insufficient
notice of the hearing. The
reply was
that a notice
placed in "The Messenger"
newspaper '' satisified the
program's requirements."
First, we submit that
satisfying "the program requirements" is not enough.
Satisfying the requirements
of the taxpayers and voters
is what counts. This is not
to criticize or damn anyone,
but m e re 1 y to serve as a
gentle reminder. We are
fullly a w a re
that even
thoroughly advertised hearings and meetings often draw
so few people that our elected officials must sometimes
think they operate in a
vacuum.
In review, the four projects listed for consideration
by the county agency in allocating development funds
for the coming year are
these--in order of priority
as set November 11 by council:
1. Building, or heloing
to pay for, the new firehouse;
2. Purchasing land near
the Wilderness Preserve
along the Little Miami River;
3. Clearing and grading
ground in the village landfill for recreational use;
4. Buying and clearing
the "Grady's Restaurant"
property on Wooster Pike.
The village's share of
funds is likely to be about
$17,000.
The application has already been filed this year,
so changing this list is
academic now. But the program will be just as alive
next year and the same process will be repeated.
Just to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard,
Village Views is, here and
now, soliciting the views of
everyone in Terrace Park.
Write us and tell us how you
rank these four
would
projects in order of priority.
More, if you have other
id e as
about projects for
which federal funds should be
sought, jot those down, too.
Send your responses tc
Village Views, 811 Princeton Drive. We eagerly await
your comments. And we
promise to publish the results
of this survey of
opinion in a forthcoming
issue -- but ONLY if we have
enough responses to make
the results meaningful.
Rawnsleys Give Land To Village
Mr.
and Mrs. Ellis
Rawnsley, 717 Wooster Pike,
again are donating property
to the village to provide for
expansion of the fire house
in the rear of the Community
House.
The donation will make
the rear line of the Community House parking lot
approximately parallel with
Elm Avenue, and will allow
more parking space as well
as room to swing the new,
larger, fire truck now being
built for the village.
The Rawnsleys similarly
gave property 20 years ago
to allow for fire station expansion, added parking and
a drive around the rear of
the building.
As before, the village is
to build and maintain a fence
between the Rawnsley property and the
Community
House parking lot.

TO THE EDITOR:
I have noticed in various
places around the Park
where animals have been
put in pens outside. This
in itself is fine, as I see
it, but in some cases the
owners of the s e animals
are thoughtlessly neglecting
them and leaving them outside with little or no care
to their well being.
This to me seems rather
cruel as well as unfair to
the animal. This is also
unfair to the owners' neighbors; they are the ones who
have to listen to the animals
cry and whine when they
would like some attention
from their masters.
Please , if you are going
to own a pet, give it the
treatment and care it deserves because, after all,
it did not ask to be taken
for a pet. You took on that
responsibility yourself.

An episode from the
forthcoming centennial history of St. Thomas Episcopal Church begins: " ... The
vestry'had-had more to worry
ab out than ·dickering for
ground and erecting a new
bull ding. There was the
problem of the Rev. Charles
W. Spicer.
. . .
,
Thirty-six years old and
"full of vitality" according
to a
contemporary, Mr.
Spicer was rector of St. John
Episcopal Mission in Cin~
c i n n a ti and serving St.
Thomas Church on a parttime basis. But in a letter
published in the Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribune on August 3, 1903, he declared
his belief that the churches
should take over the saloons.
"It was too much for a
St. Thomas vestry led by
men who earlier had been
prominent in a diocesan convention fight favoring Sunday
closing of Ohio's saloons.
Mr. Spicer was bluntly told
in a vestry resolution that
his c o n n e c t i o n with St.
Thomas was at an end. But
there must i1ave been some
second thoughts. He is recorded as presiding at a
subsequent parish meeting
and even casting a decisive
vote, a step that seemingly
led to a storm in the church
and calls for resignations,
threats of resignations, and
some actual resignations
from the vestry.
"Mr. Spicer, in his Commercial-Tribune piece, put
up quite an argument.
"A visit to most any of
our city c h u r c h e s
. on
Sunday," he said,
''will
reveal a congregation composed chiefly of women, with·
a few grey-haired men, while
the young men are totally
absent. At the same time,
drinking resorts, clubs, b.illiard halls and kindred institutions will be doing a
flourishing business. . . •
''The modern saloon is a
palace of superficial splendor, employing all the most
alluring arts in the interest
of its cause. Within are to_be
found recreation, diversion,
excitement, amusement, refreshment, freedom, welcome, social good.-fellowship and all the 'things that
enable men to forget the
more. serious affairs of life
and to indulge in a restful
sort of pleasure that is
soothing, refreshing and invigorating after the intense
strain of business.
''Unfortunately, in addition to these healthful arid not
un des i r ab 1e attractions,
when induled in temperately,
there are other influences
of an immoral and degrading c h a r a c t e r. Here, it
seems to me, lies the chief
danger of the saloon. Eliminate the filth and immorality
and substitute moral purity,
and much of the danger will
be arrested ••••.
''The time has come when
we must lay aside sickly
sentimentality and irrational
theories and take apractical
view of the question ••. Let
the church take charge of the
saloon and purify and refine
it • . . and utilize it for
its own profit •••• Thus she
might establish a business
department which in the end
could meet all her running
expenses ••••
"A group of Episcopal
churchmen did in fact open
a saloon in New York the
following year (1904).
"The so-called Subway
Saloon (reformist opponents
likened it to the gates of
Hell) flourished for a while
with its policy of good drink
but no serving of minors
or the intoxicated, but the
novelty wore off and it closed
after 15 months, leaving its
churchly sponsors with a
loss of their $20,000 investment."

To The Editor:
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Terrace
Park's uniqueness is the
support of its residents for
the Village. 'the time that
able, busy people are willing
to give to make life here so
worthwhile is truly amazing.
We see evidence of ·this in
government in such areas as
the Fire Department, Planning and Zoning C ommission, Zoning Appeal Board,
Zoning Review Committee,
Wilderness Committee and
the Village Green Committee. We see other evidence
of this in the Recreation
Commission and its activities, the Garden Club, Players and the
Bicentennial
Committee, to name a few.
All of these people who give
so generously of their time
enrich the lives of all of us.
Generous too is the financial support that our residents give in the form of their
taxes. Our Village levies
have been a pp r o v e d by
margins that astound Mayors
of
other c om m u n i t i e s.
· Similar support is apparent
for school issues too. No
wonder homes in Terrace
Park have appreciated faster
in value than homes anywhere
else in Hamilton
County. People want to live
in Terrace Park.
As virtually everyone in
Terrace Park owns their
own home, it has always
seemed to me that there was
little need to consider an
income tax, for it would make
small difference to us
whether we pay taxes to the
Village on our property or
our income.
The
difference in tax
rates between communities
has become a misleading
indicator of the measure of
municipal cost, as many
communities have passed income or earnings taxes in
addition to their property
taxes. Indian Hill, Mariemont and Milford have done
so. Consequently our propeny taxes can't be compared
with theirs.
During the past four
years Council has tried to
operate your Village in accordance with your wishes.
We have tried to give the
services you wanted, in the
manner and at the level you
wanted them. We've tried
hard to improve the appearance of the Village by regular
grass cutting, planting trees,
repairing sidewalks, and upgrading the Village Green;
in short we tried to take care
ct Village land as you have
taken care of your homes.
We improved traffic conditions at Wooster and Elm by
installing a better traffic
control system.
We purchased a new firetruck and

let a contract for an addition to the firehouse. This
will assure that you will
continue to enjoy favorable
insurance rates. We are
nearing completion of our
codification and review of
all Village Ordinances. The
chaotic condition of almost
100 years of laws is hard to
imagine by those who have
not had to work with them.
All of this has been done
while
maintaining basic
services
such as police,
garb age
collection, and
street maintenance, and we
have kept the budget balanced
and observed sound fiscal
practices. There are few
Villages that could handle the
outlay of almost $75,000 for
a fire engine and a fire house
addition without passage of
substantial .extra taxes.
Other Council concerns
have included preservation
of the Little Miami, opposition to Te::-:.'~: Cafe, approval of the new shopping
center, completion of the
Matrix study, and extensive
repairs to our bridges.
The work is far from
done, Our recreational needs
are not adequately met. Codification is started but not
finished. The possibility of
development on our western
boundary looms near at hand.
The changing nature of society assures that our new
Council will be well challenged, and I am confident
that they will serve you well.
Finally, I would like to
say that it has been a privilege to serve as your mayor
for the last four years. It is
a challenging, rewarding job.
Your trust, confidence and
support has meant a great
deal to me. I thank you for
giving me the opportunity.

TO THE EDITOR:
I
I'm writing to you in hope
that you will publish this as a
public information service
on behalf of the Cincinnati
Spay and Neuter Clinic, a
nonprofit organization.
Ye a r 1 y, in Hamilton
County, over 25,000 dogs
and cats are put to death
by the
lone authorized
agency, the SPCA. They
simply can't find homes for
all the dogs and cats brought
to them or the dogs and cats
they pick up as strays.
Other thousands of dogs
and cats die beneath the
wheels of autos and many
other thousands starve and
freeze to death. Other strays
unlucky enough not to be
killed, die from sickness
or lack of care.
The problem never will
be controlled completely but
the
Cincinnati Spay and
Neuter Clinic offer a lowcost spaying and neutering
s e r vi c e to any pet owner
compassionately concerned,
regardless of income.
Since March 1, 1975, the
clinic has spayed or neutered
over 3200 pets for concerned
own e r s in the Cincinnati
area.
If you have a pet you care
for, please look into this. You
will be doing yourself a favor
by not being faced with finding homes for kittens and
puppies. Besides, you will
be being kind to animals
who are not asking to be
born to suffer.
For information and appointments, you can call the
clinic at 522-6696.

Plans are still forming
for Terrace ·Park's Bicentennial effort, according to
Marie Gerwin, chairman of
1 group of residents planning
the events.
'' Anyone who has ideas
about what they'd like to see
done, or about things they'd
like to help do," she said,
"please contact us."
The committee, she said,
hopes to ''do a lot of different things."
THE FEDERAL Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the revised map of flood-plain
areas submitted by Terrace Park Villa:ge Counct in

Work On Firehouse To Start In January
CONSTRUCTION OF the addi ti on and rem ode ling of
'Terrace Park's firehouse,
behind the Community
House, is expected to begin
next month. Plans, above, by
Steinkamp and Nordloh, show
how building will appear
from main Community House
lot. Village Council learned
at its December meeting that
the Fire Department volunteers themselves plan to
finish off interior walls and
build interior partitions, and
to re-use salvageable materials removed from the
present "annex," which is
to be razed to make room
for the new addition. Bids
for the project were opened
November 17, and the contract has been awarded to
Roy T. Ball and Sons, Milford, for $20,342. This was
lowest of five bids. The contr act was awarded at a
special council meeting November 24. The project is
to be completed by March 1.

-To--Honor Chris-i Child

She felt the purpose of a
tree was to honor the Christ
Child. In her search for "a
special way," she discovered some designs called
"Chrismons/' a combination of "Christ" and "Monogram." A Chrismon is a
monogram of Christ.
The sketches were copies
of Chrismons found in many
places: on jewelry and doors,
in catacombs, buildings, and
books. They are copies of
those done by early Christians to identify themselves
with one another, to designate meeting places, and to
let
nonbelievers know of
their faith.
The symbols served to
transmit the faith and beliefs of the artist and helped
to share and pass on the
Christian faith.
Since that beginning,
Chrismon
ornaments not
only have been developed
from symbols of the early
church but also a fresh, by
artists who felt there is
always something new to say
about Christ and always a
better way to show and say
it to add depth to understanding of the Lord and
Christians' relationship to
Him.
All Chrismons are in
white and gold. White the
liturgical colo:r; for Christmas, refers to the Lord's
purity and perfection. Gold
refers to His majesty and
glory. Tiny white lights are
used on the trees to point
co Christ as the Light of
the World. Hidden spotlights
highlight the glistening symbols.
All rights for the idea
and the original ornaments
were given by Mrs. Spencer
to the Danville church, which
owns the trade mark and the
copyright.
Through the years, four
Chrismon books have been
compiled by the Danville
church's members so ideas
for Chrismons can be spread
to others. IQ addition to the

The Chrismon Tree
_ What is hoped will become a Christmas tradition
has begl.in in several area
churches: the use of Chrismon Trees and Wreaths as
part of their yule tide decorations.
Several Terrace Park
women, members of Armstrong Chapel, worked all
ye a r
to ensure that the
Chrismons would be ready
for dedication at a candlelight Advent Vesper Service
at the Church December 7.
The "Chrismon" Christmas Tree originated in the
Luther an Church of the
Ascension, Danville, Virginia, in 1957. One member,
Frances K. Spencer, had always thought the church's
tree should not be the same
kind - with balls and bulbs which could be seen anywhere.

Mrs. Joseph W. Mottern,
of 107 Red Bird Lane, who
first located the idea for
Armstrong Chapel, headed a
committee of fifteen women
who met regularly, starting
in April, in Evelyn's basement workshop. Other Terrace Park members giving
hours to the project were
Mrs. Howard Baumgardner
and Mrs. Roger Peterson.
All the committee, in addition to checking their own
jewelry boxes for appropriate items, also confessed to
en j o yin g visiting garage
sales, bazaars and sewing
and craft shops in search
of decorations.
The plan is to preserve
the Chrismons from year to
year, with other interested
groups adding new ones as
they have ideas for them.
Chrismons are never mad~

The two Chrismon trees
and ten wreaths which were
dedicated Sunday were beautiful examples of the true
Christmas Spirit: a few lovingly giving their time and
talent for the endless enjoyment of milny.
