New bronze artworks presented at Village Green
Fairfield’s ongoing commitment
to introduce bronze artworks into
public spaces has yielded two
more additions to its growing
collection. The latest artworks,
both by Utah-based sculptor
Gary Lee Price, are located in
Village Green Park and at the
Community Art Center.
Appropriately placed at the
parkside entrance to the
Community Art Center is lifesized work entitled “Monet.”
The bronze casting depicts the
famous watercolor artist, known
as the “Father of Impressionism,” seated
on a park bench creating his next
masterpiece.
One of Price’s more recent works,
“Monet” is framed against the
Community Art Center within the front
garden area. Paverstones are being
installed along each side of the piece to
Price’s works typically are meant
to empower and lift the human
spirit. Often, before crafting a
work, Price and his family
embark on research trips to a
location relating to the subject of
his impending creation. In the
case of “Monet,” his family
journeyed to Giverny, France —
Monet’s hometown — where
Price’s creativity could be further
inspired.
afford admirers a closer look.
Immediately across the street from
“Monet” is another of Price’s works
entitled “Journeys of the Imagination.”
The work depicts a goggle-clad child
soaring on the wings of a paper airplane
representing the limitless world of a
youthful mind.
August 29: A day of caution
With Wednesday, August 29, the first
day of school for both public and
parochial schools in Fairfield, motorists
should be keenly aware of
an added need for fall
safety. Too often, students
are focused on the
challenges of their first
day of the school year and
may not be as attentive as
they otherwise should be...
no matter what their age
or mode of transit to
school.
With most students riding a bus,
motorists should be especially mindful
around buses and bus stops. Last year,
26 students were killed nationally and
9,000 were injured in school bus
mishaps, according to the National
Safety Council.
Often motorists are unsure when to
stop for a school bus. According to
Ohio law, motorists must stop in both
directions on any
roadway of three or
fewer lanes when a
bus driver has
activated the red
flashers. In such cases
students may be
directed to cross the
street in front of the
bus.
On 4-lane highways
(like Dixie Highway), buses only load
or discharge students to the right side
of the bus. Only motorists behind the
bus must stop. Drivers approaching
from the front of the bus are not
required to stop. Caution, however, is
always urged.
The latest acquisitions follow an
earlier purchase of Price’s bronze
entitled “Pin High,” located near
the putting green at Fairfield
Greens/North Trace. The work depicts a
youngster preparing to “chip up to the
green.” The artwork was crafted in the
likeness of Price’s neighbor child who
posed as the artisan painstakingly
crafted the mold for the casting.
With more than 25 years of artistry to his
credit, thousands of Price’s works are
included in public and private collections
in homes, galleries, museums, libraries,
corporations, cities and educational
institutions throughout the world.
Price is quick to credit his success to his
wife Lanea and their five boys, who Price
says offer constant inspiration.
With the latest additions, Fairfield now
has 10 bronze castings in place
throughout the City for public viewing.

The Emerald Ash Borer, an insect that
often kills ash trees, has been found in
central Butler County, prompting the
Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA)
to add Butler County to the list of
counties in quarantine for the movement
of wood. The insect was identified in
Monroe.

History as large as life
Booklet celebrates murals at Fairfield Post Office
As part of Fairfield’s
commemoration of its 50th
anniversary, nationally known
Artist Eric Henn was
commissioned to undertake a
series of his famous murals to
transform the Fairfield Post Office
into a three-dimensional
work of art. In addition to
tricking the eye into seeing
brickwork and stonework,
inset panels were visually
created depicting several
of the early landmarks of
the City.
today’s convenience store, offering
guests gas, drinks and food. The
Green Lantern was located on
Dixie Highway to the north of the
area now occupied by the Hicks
Manor Shopping Center.
3 Schenck Station: In the early
days, railroads were the lifeblood of
the industrial era. One main route
passed along what is now the border of Hamilton and
Fairfield. Every half-hour, trains stopped at Schenck
Station, located roughly where State Route 4 passes under
the tracks near the old Fisher Body Plant.
1
Henn’s work itself is
commemorated in a color publication created by
the creative design firm of Influence, Inc.,
owned by Fairfield resident Greg Stagg. The
informative publication features the
photography of David French, another Fairfield
resident.
2
The publication details the
rich history depicted by each
mural, all of which pay tribute
to places and lifestyles too
often forgotten by those
who did not live during the
early years:
1 Symmes Tavern: Established
in 1852 at the corner of what is
now Pleasant Avenue and
Nilles Road, the popular inn
served as an overnight stop for
travelers between Cincinnati
and Dayton. The historic
business closed in 1980. Today
the building houses a bank.
2 Green Lantern: The gas
station was the forerunner of
4 Miami-Erie Canal: Even before
railroads, goods and people were
moved via man-made waterways.
Canals traversed the countryside,
crossing creeks and valleys to connect
the Great Miami River with Lake Erie.
This mural depicts a canal boat during
a stop at an ice house located in the an
area called Gilmore Ponds bounded by
Gilmore Road, Symmes Road and ByPass 4.
5 Milders Inn: Located near the
3
4
intersection of what is now Pleasant
Avenue and Nilles Road
(across the road from
Symmes Tavern), Milders
Inn offered near legendary
fried chicken and steak
dinners. It was a gathering
place for early pioneers who
shaped Fairfield’s heritage.
The colorful and highly
informative eight-page
booklet is available at
the Fairfield City
Building and at the
Fairfield Post Office.

Fairfield water/sewer rates best in region (again!)
For the second consecutive year, the City of
Fairfield has been identified as the
community with the lowest combined rates
for water and
sewer services
in all of
southwestern
Ohio. In the
2007 survey,
Fairfield rates
were lowest
out of 64
jurisdictions
included in
the annual
survey.
Each year, the
study of water
and sewer
rates of communities in southwest Ohio is
regarded as a standard by which
communities compare their rates for water
and sewer usage. The rates shown in the
chart reflect the combined water and sewer
charge for 22,500 gallons of water over a
three month period, as of March 1, 2007.
Fairfield’s combined rate of $113.19,
significantly lower than the $184.97 average
charge for water and sewer service for
22,500 gallons of water in a three-month
period.
Over the years, Fairfield’s water and sewer
rates have ranked among the lowest in the
region despite the costs of major upgrades in
the sewer network and expansion of
treatment facilities to increase water
production. During the last year, the City
began a regular inspection program of sewer
lines as a proactive measure to identify and
address problems.
In the chart at right, systems of nearby
communities are shown in green.

FOCUS ON: Hicks Manor Fairfield salutes its oldest mall
The Hicks Manor Shopping
Center, Fairfield’s oldest mall, is
celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Located along the south side of
Magie Avenue and along State
Route 4 on the north side of
Magie, the mall opened in April
1957. The photo at right
shows the grand opening
of the Kroger Store,
which served for years
as the mall’s anchor.

Senior tenants at the mall
include the Bonanza
Family Steakhouse,
Cassano’s Pizza, Merle
Norman Studio &
Boutique, and the Elbo
Room.
The mall was developed
by the late John Hicks,
who also developed
much of the area around
the mall. The street to
the south of the mall
bears his name. Mr.
Developer John Hicks (left), Fairfield Mayor Robert Wessel (with scissors), stand with two Kroger officials at the grand opening of the
K roger Store, located at Hicks Manor for many years.
Hicks died in 1997. His wife
Billie passed away in 2002. The
business remains a proud part of
the Hicks Family, now operated
by son Robert Hicks and
daughter Tari Salvati.
Over the years, the Hicks Manor
Shopping Center has enjoyed
great success with only rare
vacancies in the mall. Today,
only one retail space is
4
available, a testament to the
importance of location and a
close tenant-landlord relationship
still maintained with the Hicks
family.
Each day, nearly 40,000 cars
drive past the location which
houses a diverse cross-section of
businesses. If you’re interested
in the lone vacancy, contact
Robert Hicks at 737-6244.

Rehearsal for Murder
PRESENTED BY FAIRFIELD FOOTLIGHTERS
ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY D.D. BROOKE FROM THE HIT TELEVISION
PLAY BY RICHARD LEVINSON AND WILLIAM LINK
DIRECTED BY RAY SULLIVAN
The playwright turns on the stage lights and prepares for the first reading
of his new play. As the cast and crew assemble, an
undercurrent of suspense is evident. Everyone connected
with this show was involved with another play exactly a
year ago on opening night in this theatre. The leading
lady (the playwright’s fiancée) was thought to have
committed suicide after the opening night. As the readthrough begins, startling connections to the leading lady
begin to unfold. Growing tension reaches the boiling
point with surprising revelations and accusations, countered by others even
more surprising. The dazzling and logical twists build to a theatrically
stunning climax!

The Herdmans show up at the church Christmas Pageant
tryouts and everyone is horrified. Why? Because they are
horrible children - they steal, burn down buildings, and
terrorize the neighborhood. In fact, their classmates only
feel safe from them at church. That
is, until an innocent comment
brings the Herdmans into church
where they steal all the best parts in the annual
Christmas pageant. Soon even the congregation is
running for cover! You won’t believe the mayhem - and
the fun - when the Herdmans, probably the most
inventively awful kids in history, collide with the
Christmas story head-on. A family production not to be missed!

The Foreigner
WRITTEN BY LARRY SHUE. DIRECTED BY JAMES C. DAVIS
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia
often visited by “Froggy” LeSeur, a British
demolition expert. This time Froggy has
brought along a friend, a pathologically shy
young man named Charlie who is overcome
with fear at the thought of making
conversation with strangers. So Froggy,
before departing,
tells all assembled
that Charlie is from
an exotic foreign
country and speaks
no English. Once alone, the fun really begins, as
Charlie overhears more than he should - the evil
plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck
associate, the fact that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant and many other
damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a
word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up
the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad
guys” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant.

Swingtime Canteen
BY LINDA THORSEN BOND, WILLIAM REPICCI AND CHARLES BUSCH
DIRECTED BY HEIDI SCHILLER
This “Star Spangled Musical Hit” enjoyed over 300
performances Off Broadway before becoming a staple of
musical theatres across the country. The show takes its
inspiration from the films and personalities that helped to
define the national consciousness know as “the war effort”.
The time is 1944 and MGM is putting glamorous movie legend Marian Ames
out to pasture, but this is no time for self-pity. So Marian
gathers her instrument-playing gal pals from the
Hollywood Canteen to entertain the troops in London.
Her show is a rip-roaring canteen extravaganza that
features five archetypal film characters from the 1940’s
singing over 30 vintage classics. Songs include: I’ll Be
Seeing You, Sentimental Journey, A Nightingale Sang in
Berkeley Square, a 12-song Andrews Sisters medley and
many more. Laughs, emotional fireworks and air raids punctuate this hilarious
and heartwarming musical celebration.

members of the audience are selected to be the jury. The question that stands
before them is whether international financier Bjorn Faulkner jumped to his
death or if he was pushed. Karen Andre, his efficient secretary, stands on trial
for his murder. As witness after witness takes the stand, the facts begin to
mount — or do they?

Everyone loves a good ghost story. But do ghosts really exist? How does one
go about trying to find a ghost? Are there any ghosts in Ohio?
Have your scary questions answered by James A. Willis, founder of the
organization The Ghosts of Ohio (www.ghostsofohio.org) and co-author of
Weird Ohio, part of the best-selling Weird U.S. series of books. Willis offers a
fun and informative presentation where you can discover the many theories as
to what ghosts are believed to be, learn about the
different forms of equipment used to detect ghosts,
and listen to plenty of scary stories to get you into
the Halloween spirit! Following the presentation,

Forest Billboards
OPENING AUGUST 11 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 22
Forest Billboards uses the advertising medium of highway billboards to
challenge the consumerist nature of these signs. Artist Roscoe Landon Wilson,
currently Assistant Professor of Art at Miami University, Hamilton, collected
photographs of billboards that block the view of forested areas along the
highways of Southwestern Ohio. He then replaced the flashy graphics with
what the traveler would see if the billboards were not present. The result is an
exhibition designed to intrigue the viewer and evoke questions about the
origin, creation, and meaning of man-made signs and artificial walls placed in
our landscapes. Closing reception September 21 from 6 - 8 p.m.
2nd Annual Community Showcase
OPENING OCTOBER 6 THROUGH NOVEMBER 10

submit works for the juried competition. Winners from Fairfield Schools and
our own Community Arts Center classes will also present their work. Entries

Seen the Butler County Regional Airport lately?
If you haven’t seen the Butler County
Regional Airport recently, you’ll be
surprised at all the changes that have
happened over recent years. What
began as a small local airport years ago
has evolved into a busy hub for
corporate activity.
In 1999, only 98 aircraft were based at
the facility. Today, more than 182
airplanes, jets and helicopters are based
at the airport. The economic significance
has also grown dramatically. Currently,
operations at the airport have an
estimated impact of $14 million on the
local economy, about double the impact
from 1999.
With the increased activity and growing
number of aircraft, the airport has seen
its share of new construction. In
addition to improvements to the aprons
and taxi-ways, largely paid for with state
and federal grants, a significant amount
of new hanger space is being added.
Two hangers, each about 6,000 square
feet, are under construction on the west
side of the terminal. A third project will
construct a 22,400 square foot hanger
addition.
The familiar beacon seen from the night
sky over decades will also soon be
replaced. The old unit is considered
unrepairable after nearly 40-years of
service.
Model Air Show at airport on August 11 & 12
If you haven’t had an opportunity to see
the changes at the
Butler Regional
Airport, plan to
visit the upcoming
Model Air Show
planned at the
facility the weekend
of August 11 & 12.
Exhibits and
demonstrations will
be open from noon
to 4 p.m. each day
(weather
permitting).
Admission is free (parking is $5).
Members of the Greater Cincinnati
Radio Control Club
will present the
show, the 47th
annual event. More
than 175 model
aircraft will be on
display. Many of the
highly detailed
models will fly
during the show,
including a rocket
powered space
shuttle, vintage war
aircraft and novelty
aircraft from flying saucers to Snoopy.
Leadership Fairfield seeks fall participants Grills forbidden in
If you have ever wanted to learn more
September 12-13. Each month, the class
multi-family buildings
about your community and about valuwill focus on such topics as education,
able leadership skills, consider applying
for Leadership Fairfield VIII, which
begins in September. Participants learn
and apply leadership skills during daylong sessions once a month over a nine
month schedule.
Orientation for the class will be held on
law enforcement, health issues, diversity
and regional issues.
Tuition for Leadership Fairfield is $600.
Applications are available at the
Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, 670
Wessel Drive. For more information,
call 881-5500.
Fairfield’s fire code prohibits the use of
charcoal and gas grills on combustible
balconies/decks or within 10 feet of
combustible construction. The law
exempts one and two-family homes and
buildings where a balcony or deck is
protected by an automatic sprinkler
system.
The code was
introduced as a
precaution in multifamily dwellings
where hot embers
or a flare-up could
ignite the deck,
balcony or nearby
wall.
While prohibiting
traditional gas grills from use on
decks, balconies or near walls of multifamily construction, the code does
permit the use of small tabletop grills
utilizing small cylinders of less than
one pound propane gas. In most cases,
such grills are typically associated with
camping equipment.
Members of Leadership Fairfield VII tour the Water Treatment Plant as part of their
experience with the nine-month program.

Questions regarding the fire code can
be directed to Assistant Fire Chief
Dennis Glenn at 867-5379.

ed committee members, organized committee meetings, established meeting
agendas and made contact with vendors. Early in the planning process,
Lynda realized that space was going to
be more limited
this year due to
the move to the
Community Arts
Center, so she
formed a committee
of employees to assist
with the selection of
vendors. On the day
of the event, she
made sure that
the workers
were organized
and informed so
that they could
provide the best customer service possible.
Cindi Lewellyn, Recreation Manager
for the Parks & Recreation Department,
was honored for her outstanding efforts
the weekend of May 18 during the
Community Art Center’s Theater A-Z
production of “Peggy the Pint-Sized
Pirate” and its Dance Troupe production of “Fairfield Starz.”
“Cindi single-handedly ensured that
both Fairfield Starz shows were completely organized and ran
without interruption,”
Council Member Tim
Meyers commented. “She
worked very late into the
night on
Saturday
making programs,
arranging student photos and
attending to every detail
required to ensure the
show was professional
and the parents and students enjoyed it.” Tim
noted that Cindi’s dedication, passion for
excellence and overall
drive for customer service was clearly
obvious. Cindi’s dedication continued
over the next week when she worked
with the team to pack all the props for
shows at the schools of performers, to
showcase performers’ talent to their
teachers and fellow students.
Fairfield is always interested in knowing of employees
worthy of STAR status, defined as when a staff member
exhibits the qualities of Service, Teamwork, Above and
Beyond performance, and Reliability. If you know of
such a person deserving of special recognition, contact
the City Manager’s Office at 867-5350 to offer details.
City Council adopts new
property maintenance code
With recent action by Fairfield City
Council to adopt a new property
maintenance code, new residents of the
City will likely find the same standards
here as they did in their previous city of
residence. Council has officially
adopted the 2006 International
Property Maintenance Code as the
standard for the Fairfield Building and
Zoning Division.
The 2006 International Property
Maintenance Code is now the new
standard adopted by a vast majority of
communities across the county. The
new standards replace those of the
former property code, which dated
back to 1996. The older code no longer
reflected certain contemporary issues.
Even the official code itself was out of
print so new code books could not even
be ordered.
35
In reality, nothing has changed in the
codes, except technical references
needed for effective enforcement by
inspectors and zoning personnel. The
move, however, ensures that Fairfield
remains current with nationally
recognized standards.
Many of Fairfield’s building and
zoning regulations are summarized
online at www.fairfield-city.org.
Building and zoning regulations are
available in their entirety at the
Fairfield City Building and at the
Fairfield branch of the Lane Public
Library.
Residents concerned about potential
zoning violations, or who have
questions about the new zoning
standards, may contact the Building
and Zoning Division at 867-5318.
Bits and Pieces
Inaugural Phalen Memorial
Golf Tourney to be Sept. 16
The family of the late Clarence Phalen is
planning a fall golf event as a memorial
fund-raiser. A golf scramble and pig
roast have been planned for Sunday,
September 16, at the Fairfield South
Trace Golf Course. For information, email [email protected] or
call 829-9778.
The tournament is
$80 per golfer ($25
for dinner only).
Hole sponsorships are available

Mayor Phalen
served as Mayor
from 1976 to 1980.
He is credited
Clarence Phalen
with playing a
major role in
attracting Mercy Hospital, and
establishing a public swimming pool
and recreation center.
Mayor Phalen also is credited with
establishing the City’s first golf course,
now known as the South Trace Course,
where the fundraiser will be held.
Study to determine buying
power of Route 4 workers
Restaurants or retail businesses rarely
make a move without careful review of
an economic impact study of the area in
which they are interested. The study
typically reviews demographics and
buying habits of households. Seldom do
such studies consider the impact of area
employees of neighboring businesses.
In the case of the State Route 4 corridor,
the number of area employees could
have a significant impact on daytime
demographics. To determine that
impact, the Route Four Committee has
asked that the City undertake a study of
the potential buying power of workers
whose jobs are along the corridor.
Results of the study are expected by this
fall. For results or more information, email [email protected].
Chipping program monthly

The City of Fairfield Parks Department
accepts limbs and brush on the second

8, October 13, November 10 and
December 8. The time that you can drop

The location site is on Groh lane, just
past Waterworks Park. If you have any
questions about the Chipping program,
