RECYCLING COLLECTION NOW ACCEPTS
CARDBOARD AND MIXED PAPER
Residents can now place cardboard and mixed paper with
their other recyclables for pickup. Magazines, catalogs,
office paper, glossy paper, milk cartons, cereal boxes, mail,
as well as newspaper and cardboard are all accepted. These
items can be placed along with your other recyclables to be
picked up on your regularly scheduled recycling day. Boxes
must be empty (no packing peanuts or Styrofoam) and
broken down. Large amounts of boxes must be scheduled
as a special pickup by calling the Public Works Department
at 831-3712. All recycling material may be mixed together
now. There is no need to separate recyclables anymore. In
fact, the Village of Indian Hill will be offering recycling
toters (a two-wheeled cart with a lid) for residents to
purchase in early 2008. If you have an interest in purchasing
a recycling toter, please call the Public Works Department
at 831-3712.

Tips for Winter Driving
From the Public Works Department
The cold weather has arrived, and with it comes snow
and ice. The Public Works would just like to give a
reminder on some winter weather driving tips. When
traveling during less then desirable conditions, there are
a few things to take into consideration. The first is to
reduce speed and increase following distance. By doing
this, you will increase reaction time and reduce your risk
of being in an accident. Next, be aware of the shaded
areas on the road. These areas are prime locations for
what people call ‘Black Ice’. This occurs frequently
where roads are completely shaded by trees. These
areas freeze first due to the lack of sunlight to heat the
roadway. Finally, be aware of Village salt trucks. We
ask that you give plenty of room for the men while they
are trying to make the roads safe for you to travel. When
following a salt truck, increase following distance so the
drivers can see you. If you can’t see their mirrors, they
can’t see you. This will also keep you away from the salt
coming off the spinner. If you do have the unfortunate
experience of being in an accident, call the Ranger’s
(561-7000) and stay with your vehicle unless instructed
otherwise. Thank you and drive safely.
Holiday Notice From the Public Works
Department
The Public Works Department will be closed on
Tuesday, December 25th and Tuesday, January 1st in
observance of the Christmas and New Years Holidays.
Garbage and Recycling will be picked up on Monday,
December 24th and Monday, December 31st respectively.
In addition: The Christmas tree drop-off at Stephan
Park will be open from December 26th to February 15th.
Residents may drop off their trees in the designated area.
Please remember to remove all ornaments, tinsel, and
plastic bags when dropping off your tree.
Thank you and have a Happy Holiday.

Why do I have paint marks in my yard?
Have you ever had a kaleidoscope of paint in your yard and wondered what it was for? Any time someone
wants to dig, they are required by law to call the Ohio Utilities Protection Service (OUPS). This service is free.
They will come out to your property and mark the underground utilities in the area that is going to be excavated.
When an area is marked, you will see multiple colored paint marks or flags for each respective utility. Each utility
has a specific color assigned to them: Electric – Red, Gas – Yellow, Communications – Orange, Water – Blue,
Reclaimed Water – Purple, Sewer – Green, Survey Markings – Pink and the proposed excavation site will be
marked in white. Once the excavation is complete, the contractor should pull the flags and the paint marks will
fade in time. If you have any more questions, please refer to the OUPS website at www.oups.org and remember
– it is always best to be safe, so call before you dig 1-800-362-2764.
Lt. Michael D. Dressel Graduates
Police Executive Leadership College
Lt. Michael D. Dressell, of the Indian Hill Rangers Police Department graduated from the Law Enforcement
Foundation’s Police Executive Leadership College (PELC) on November 16, 2007. He was one of 28 students
attending the fiftieth session of the college.
PELC is an intensive, three-week leadership-training program for law enforcement executives. It is based
on the premise that leadership skills can be learned, and given the opportunity for feedback and practice, that
executives can substantially improve their leadership abilities. The program involves 105 class hours over three
weeks on 20 topics, 24 required readings, 6 research papers, 5 community interviews, 3 speeches, and 3 team
projects. Over 1,400 Ohio law enforcement executives have attended PELC since its beginning in 1988.
The Law Enforcement Foundation, in cooperation with the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, sponsors the
Police Executive Leadership College. The Law Enforcement Foundation exists to develop working partnerships
for the common concerns of business and police
executives to foster the values of good citizenship;
to enhance the prospects of secure communities;
and to brighten the future through constructive
social change within each Ohio community. PELC
was developed to meet the goal of providing law
enforcement executives with innovative and indepth educational opportunities.
Lieutenant Dressell has served with the Rangers
for eight years. His accomplishments during that
time have included: middle and high school liaison
officer, crime scene technician, crime prevention
officer, and author of many Ranger Chat articles. He
is also serving in his eighth year as the secretary of
the Hamilton County Police Association.
Commenting on the value and importance of PELC, Lt. Dressell indicated, “PELC was an intense, challenging,
and very enjoyable experience. The quality of the instructors and the material presented was remarkable.”
The result of Lt. Dressell’s attendance at PELC will be evidenced in his enhanced management and leadership
skills. Our agency and community will be the beneficiaries of Lt. Dressell’s accomplishment.
Lt. Dressell is shown on the right of the enclosed photo being awarded a graduation certificate from Chief
Michael Laage, CLEE, Springdale Police Department and President of the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police.
For additional information please contact Captain Timothy Oliverio at the Ranger Station.

Crime Prevention 101…
With the end of the year knocking at our door, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those residents who
requested a Home Security Survey. I hope that you found it helpful, and through your feedback, I will make some
changes to make the program even better. I will offer the service again, starting in the spring of 2008, but if you
should be interested at anytime, please feel free to contact me.
Looking back to this past year, I recall with a lot of detail, the events that took place in February. This was
when we had the big snow and ice event that left many residents without power for hours, and some for days. I
wanted this month’s article to be used for the purpose of preparing residents for the possibility of dealing with
other storms or natural disasters.
Preparing for an event should start today. Here are a few recommended items to have, should an event take
place:
-One gallon of water per person, per day
-First Aid Kit
-Sanitation items
-Battery powered radio (extra batteries)
-Canned meat, fruits, vegetables
-Change of clothing and bedding
-Flashlight (extra batteries)
-Supply of medication
It is also very important to remember that if an event takes place in the Village, and the power is out, neither the
Rangers nor the Fire Department are told when the power will be coming back on. Many times when there is a large
scale power outage, the Rangers receive hundreds of calls. Each call that is made to the Ranger station can slow response
times to true emergencies. This not only affects the safety and security of residents, but of responding officers as well.
DURING A STORM OR NATURAL DISASTER, PLEASE LIMIT CALLS
TO THE RANGERS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY!!
Please take an opportunity to clip out the following Emergency Contact Card, for the most commonly used
phone numbers for local utilities:

Shooting Club Hosts Holiday Event
Indian Hill Sportsmen and their friends gathered on Saturday, December 8th as entrants participated in the
Shooting Club’s Annual Holiday Shoot.
The shooting event featured a 15-target Quail Walk followed by an Open House and festivities. In the Quail
Walk event; shooters walked down a marked path and shot at targets which appeared at random intervals. Even
the Club’s most experienced marksmen agreed that the course was challenging indeed. Unlike trap and skeet
shooting, no one was expected to hit all the targets, and sure enough, no one did!
Food and refreshments were served up by Tim McLane and John Gross of the Club’s Advisory Board. A deep
kettle of hot chili and some cool shooting made for a great day.
The Indian Hill Shooting Club hosts this and several other “fun” shooting events throughout the year.
To join the Indian Hill Shooting Club, please contact Karen Allen at 561-6500.

Sally Lind Atkins
(nee Craig)
In the midst of triumphant faith, Sally’s courageous struggle with
cancer ended on Thursday evening at 9:00, October 25, 2007. She was
lovingly cared for and surrounded by her family. She was 48 and a
resident of Madeira. Sally is the daughter of C. B. and Sara Lind Craig,
formally of Indian Hill.
The devoted Mother of Michael, Christopher, and Aryn Holtzleiter,
Sally has left a legacy of great love and selflessness.
Sally is remembered as a devoted sister to Mark Craig, his wife
Robin, nieces, Leah, Samantha, Sara, and nephew Jackson of Atlanta
GA. Surviving sisters and families are Tricia Rudd, (Eastgate), Kari
and husband Dave Chadwell and niece Kaitlind (Loveland), Cindy and
husband Melvin and nieces Kristy and Terri (Madeira), Sally’s Aunt and
Uncle George, and Patricia Ann Davis and cousin Kelli from North Carolina.
Sally maintained a loving and close relationship with Marty and Donna Holtzleiter, father and special family
to her children.
At the time of her death she was married to Scott Atkins, formally of Indian Hill. Joining the family on many
occasions were his sons, Ryan and Robby. Her home was also opened to Steven Crowley who lived with her prior
to his graduation from Madeira high School.
A former resident of Indian Hill, Sally attended the school there from 1965 to 1977. She graduated from
Edgecliff College in 1981. She was employed by Safeco Insurance Company as a senior claims specialist. Sally
attended the University of Kentucky and the University of Tennessee. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta
Sorority.
Visitation was held on Monday evening, October 29 from 5-8:00 p.m. at Gilligan Funeral home. Sally was
a member of Madeira Silverwood Presbyterian Church. Funeral services were conducted in the Sanctuary on
Tuesday morning at 11:00 on October 30 by Rev. Tom Sweets and Rev Jim Steiner. Memorial statement and
welcome was given by Sally’s Uncle, George Davis. Sally’s daughter Aryn, representing her brothers, Michael
and Christopher gave testimonies of love and gratitude. Niece Terri recalled memories and read “Journey Through
Pain” written and dedicated to Sally from Terri. The Homily given by Rev. Sweets, captured the humor and
tenderness of Sally’s life as he related the “blessed assurance” Sally had received and shared with her children
and family. The service was concluded at graveside in Rest haven Cemetery.
Preceding Sally in death are paternal grandparents, Clarence and Bina Craig, former residents of Indian Hill;
maternal grandparents. Horace and Lucinda Dowling of Boone, North Carolina, and Madeira and Michael Daris
of Asheville, North Carolina.
Sally’s family was greatly comforted by the prayers and love of many and by the outstanding care and
compassion given not only to Sally but to the entire family by the Vitas Hospice Community.

Stopping by Woods
on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost (1923)
Jake, Avery and Josh Pearson
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
Hanna and Sara Zandvakili
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season
From the Green Areas Advisory Committee
Jimmy Brunette and Bryn Irvine

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Coffey of Morris
Plains, New Jersey, are pleased to announce the marriage
of their daughter, Catherine Elizabeth to David Alexander

INDIAN HLL PRIMARY SCHOOL SCHEDULES
2008-09 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION/ORIENTATION
Indian Hill Primary School’s kindergarten registration and parent orientation for the 2008-09 school year will be held
Thursday, February 21, 2008, at the Primary School, 6207 Drake Rd. Parents who are registering a child for kindergarten
for the next school year are welcome to visit kindergarten classrooms and meet teachers from 6:00-6:30 PM that day. Parent
orientation will begin in the School’s auditorium, 6:30-7:30 PM, at which time parents will receive information regarding
registration requirements, including immunizations and proof of residency.
“The faculty and staff of Indian Hill Primary School are committed to working with parents to develop the full potential
of each young child,” says Principal Sandra Harte. “Attending registration and orientation is the first step in helping prepare
children for a smooth transition to kindergarten, and enjoying a productive partnership with the school.”
In preparation for the registration/orientation, materials will be mailed to homes after parents contact the Primary School;
the registration form should be returned to the Primary School on or before February 21.
Those parents who do not receive a registration packet by the end of January or are unable to attend the program on
February 21 should call the Primary School, 272-4754, to make other arrangements.
Indian Hill High School ranked 48th in the nation
By U.S. News and World Report
Indian Hill School District is proud to announce that Indian Hill High School has been ranked as the #48 high school in the
nation by U.S. News & World Report. This is the first, annual ranking of America’s Best High Schools by U.S. News & World
Report. U.S. News has published its results in the latest edition of the magazine, available online at www.usnews.com/highschools. U.S. News & World Report’s methodology, developed by School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education
data research business run by Standard & Poor’s, is based on the principles that a great high school
must serve all its students well and that it must be able to produce measurable, academic outcomes that
show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicator. 18,790 high schools in 40 states were analyzed for the ranking. A multi-step process determined the best
schools using state proficiency/graduation test results and Advanced Placement data. The top 100 high schools
nationwide with the highest college readiness index scores were then ranked numerically and awarded gold medals. This national recognition is a tremendous honor and represents our students’ hard work and evolving appreciation or
developing their full potential, parental support of our efforts, and a community who values a quality education. It is a
reflection of our High School staff’s expertise and ability to cause students to learn, a District-wide KG-12 commitment
to each student, and an ability to provide students with a strong academic foundation from the time they enter our schools. Indian Hill High School Latin Program Receives Hildesheim Vase Award
Mr. Sherwin Little (Department Chair and President of the American Classical
League), Ms. Melissa Burgess, Mrs. Andrea Weis, and Mr. Kevin Kless.
The Indian Hill School District is proud to announce that the Indian Hill High School Latin Program has been awarded
the prestigious Hildesheim Vase Award. This note-worthy recognition is presented by the Ohio Classical Conference to
recognize and promote academic excellence in Ohio High School Classics programs.

The primary criteria for selection are the quality of the curriculum in Latin and the level of achievement of the students
within that curriculum. This is the second time the Indian Hill Latin program has received this award having received it
first in 1986. Superintendent, Dr. Jane Knudson said, “This distinguished award is a tribute to and reflection of Mr. Little’s
exemplary leadership, the tremendous expertise, passion and dedication of each of our Latin teachers, as well as the hard
work of our students.”
All Indian Hill High School Latin students take the National Latin Exam except for those in a modified Latin course
sequence. Typically, 45 percent of Indian Hill’s students who take the exam receive awards. In the last ten years, five
students have had perfect scores on the National Latin Exam. Additionally, over the last five years, 76 percent of students
taking AP Latin have had a score of “3” or higher (potentially earning college credit) on the AP exam and 16 students have
had perfect scores of “5” on the AP Latin exam.
A unique feature of Indian Hill’s Latin program is that it is geared toward success for all students. The Latin teachers are
proud to have many students in the program who would not be considered typical Latin students. The program includes a
two-year sequence designed for students with learning difficulties. In these classes, the pace and volume of the material is
modified, but not the concepts. Indian Hill has a graduation requirement that every student must pass level II of a language.
These classes allow students to meet that requirement. The philosophy of the Indian Hill Latin program is that Latin is for
every student.
Last year, the Indian Hill Latin Club was the largest club in Ohio with over 200 student members and the Indian Hill club
was one of the ten largest clubs in the country.
The District’s Latin teachers are: Mr. Sherwin Little (Department Chair and President of the American Classical
League), Ms. Melissa Burgess, Mrs. Andrea Weis, and Mr. Kevin Kless.
Cincinnati Country Day School Announces Plans for Annual Auction

Night. The event, scheduled for Friday, March 7, 2008 in the School’s Dining Terrace, will feature a cocktail hour, dinner,
entertainment and a live auction. Country Day Night will also offer an online auction leading up to the event on March
7th. The online auction will offer students, parents and faculty as well as past parents, alumni and friends fabulous items to

Hynden (Indian Hill), the evening promises to be a festive night for the entire CCDS community.
The goal of Country Day Night is to raise tuition assistance funds for deserving students. Seventeen percent of
CCDS students receive financial assistance, allowing them to benefit from an exceptional independent school education. If
you would like participate by donating an item or advertising in our Country Day Night catalogue, please contact Pamela
Koncius at [email protected] or 979-0284.

CCDS has a long tradition of giving back to the community. Instead of donating canned food to the School’s annual
food drive this year, the middle school donated 159 turkeys - over one ton (2054 lbs) The entire middle school faculty and
students formed a single-file line from a “cache” of turkeys to a waiting truck from the House of Refuge Mission. Each
student and faculty member then passed the turkeys from person to person until all 159 turkeys were safely packed into the
truck and ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Middle School Head John Polasko said, “I hope that rather than just looking at this
as donation, the handling of all of the turkeys will have a profound impact on our students and the importance placed upon
helping those less fortunate.

Influenza: Fact vs. Fiction
True or false? Flu and influenza are
the same thing. This statement is true,
but shows that there is a lot of confusion
surrounding influenza.
Influenza, commonly referred to as
“flu”, is an infectious disease caused
by a virus. While “flu” is simply a
shortened term for influenza, there are
several types of the disease. Avian,
pandemic and seasonal influenzas are
very different: • Avian influenza is an infectious
disease of mostly birds.
• Pandemic influenza is flu that causes
a global outbreak, or pandemic, of
serious illness that spreads easily
from person to person. Currently
there is no pandemic influenza. • Seasonal flu is a contagious
respiratory illness caused by
influenza viruses.
As well, many people use the term
“stomach flu” to describe illnesses with
nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. These
symptoms can be caused by many
different viruses, bacteria or even
parasites. While vomiting, diarrhea,
and being nauseous may be related to
the flu – particularly in children – these
problems are rarely the main symptoms
of influenza. The flu is a respiratory
disease and not a stomach or intestinal
disease.
Pandemic flu occurs rarely, however
healthy people may be at an increased
risk for serious complications. Vaccines
likely would not be available in the early
stages of a pandemic and an outbreak
has the potential for a severe impact on
domestic and world economy.
Health experts believe it is only a
matter of time before the first pandemic
of the 21st century emerges. There were
three influenza pandemics in the 20th
century, the worst influenza pandemic,
1918 to 1919, killed about 500,000
people in the United States and up to
50 million worldwide. While history
shows the unpredictable influenza virus
is capable of changing and a pandemic
will happen at some future date, no
one knows where or when that will be.
The avian flu currently found in Asia
and Europe may be the virus that sets
off a pandemic or a new, unidentified
strain may be the culprit. Avian flu is
carried naturally by wild birds which
can spread the virus to domestic birds,
other animals and humans who have
direct contact with infected birds. There
are no cases of avian flu in Ohio at this
time. Poultry farms and wild birds in
the State, particularly along Lake Erie,
are monitored for avian flu.
Even though no one can predict where
or when pandemic influenza will strike,
federal, state and local governments
are preparing now. Hamilton County
Public Health has been planning for
several years to serve our community
during an emergency, and plans have
recently begun to specifically address
the threat of pandemic influenza.
Seasonal flu follows predictable
seasonal patterns and is at its peak
late January/February. Healthy adults
are usually not at risk for serious
complications; yet the flu can cause
severe illness and life-threatening
complications in the very old, the
very young and in individuals with
underlying medical problems such
as diabetes, asthma and heart or lung
disease. It is especially important that
these groups get a flu vaccine every
year, as well as their household contacts
or caregivers.
Getting a flu shot each year is the
single best way to prevent the flu. Flu
viruses spread mainly from person to
person through coughing or sneezing
of people with influenza. People may
also become infected by touching
something with flu viruses on it and
then touching their mouth or nose.
Most healthy adults may be able to
infect others beginning one day before
symptoms develop and up to five days
after becoming sick. That means that
you may be able to pass on the flu to
someone else before you know you are
sick, as well as while you are sick.
The symptoms of flu generally
last six to 10 days and include fever,
headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough,
sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and
muscle aches. Antiviral medications
may help treat the symptoms of the flu
and lessen the length of your illness
if administered within two days of
becoming sick. Antiviral medications
are available only by prescription from
your physician.
In addition to getting your seasonal
flu shot, there are other things you can
do to prevent the spread of germs that
make us sick. Remember to cover your
cough with a tissue or your elbow, wash
your hands often with soap and water,
and stay home when you are sick.

locations where flu shots are

The Story of the General Ulysses S. Grant Portrait
The Indian Hill Historical Society recently loaned its historic painting of Ulysses S. Grant to the Brown
County Public Library in Georgetown, Ohio. The history of this portrait is
noteworthy.
Mr. Andrew C. Hauck, Jr., former Indian Hill Village Mayor and a founder of
the Indian Hill Historical Museum Association (now the Indian Hill Historical
Society) reveres America’s past. He authorized the purchase of this work of art
at an Atlanta, Georgia auction. The monumental painting depicts Grant in full
dress uniform after his commission to General by Abraham Lincoln in 1864.
Mounted in its original 19th century wood and gesso frame, it was completed
circa 1868. Unsigned, it is attributed to Benjamin Franklin Rinehart (18291885), an associate of the school of American Realism and a long-standing
member of the National Academy. The portrait was prominently featured in
Andrew Hauck’s office for many years.
In the 19th century, it was standard procedure for schoolhouses to display a
picture of the current President. Recognizing that the Little Red Schoolhouse
was built in 1874, which coincides with Grant’s term of office, Mr. Hauck
donated the work of art to the Historical Society.
This year the Board of Trustees decided to share the painting with a larger Ohio audience. In spring a committee
of 5 Board members traveled to Georgetown, Ohio, also known as The Land of Grant, to view possible places to
display the elegant canvas. Hosted by John and Judy Ruthven, the group decided to loan the painting to the Mary
Shelton - Brown County Library because of this site’s visibility in the community.
Georgetown was the childhood home of U.S. Grant. His restored home and the Grant Schoolhouse are
owned by the Ohio Historical Society and managed locally. In 1970 the U.S. Grant
Homestead Association was formed to manage activities commemorating the 150th
anniversary of the birth of U. S. Grant. Since then an annual celebration has been
held, additional programs and activities have been offered, and the Association
published its first newsletter in 2007. The Library is the repository of numerous
relevant volumes and an elaborate timeline documenting the life of Ulysses Grant.
Grant was the leading Union General in the Civil War and the first U.S. President
from Ohio, and, at the time, the youngest man (age 46) elected to that office.
The formal unveiling of the Grant portrait was held Saturday, November 3rd.
Townspeople, Trustees and friends of the Indian Hill Historical Society gathered for
the celebration. President Barbara Hauck recounted the provenance of the portrait,
and explained the collegial collaboration of two organizations from different Ohio counties. Andrew Hauck III
cut the cord, uncovering the grand 66” by 54” painting to resounding applause. A festive reception was held at
the U.S. Grant Homestead nearby.
The historic portrait will be appreciated in The Land of Grant. It is fitting that the painting of Grant – a true
American hero – will be shared with more people due to the Historical Society and one of its founders, Andrew
Hauck, Jr.

One Room Scoolhouse Experience Starts Jan. 23
Once again this year the fourth grade students from Indian Hill
Elementary, Cincinnati Country Day School, and St. Gertrude School
will visit the Little Red Schoolhouse. For the fourteenth year this “OneRoom Schoolhouse Experience” will be
provided by the Historical Society as a field
trip and a supplement to the local history
segment of Ohio fourth grade curriculum.
The program includes a lecture
about Village history, penmanship,
recitations from McGuffey’s Readers, arithmetic word problems,
antique household item recognition, and a typical recess activity.
Conducted by the Society’s historian, the half-day experience has
become one of the most popular field trips for local school children.
Dip pen writing is very challenging for today’s students who are used
to ball point pens and computers, but it is also one of their favorites. Old
time down-on-your knees marble shooting is a new recess game to them,
but the children enthusiastically adapt to it. The idea of “toe the line”
when reading aloud is different for the boys and girls, with a mark on the
floor where they must stand absolutely still. Then there is chalk and slate
math, with old-fashioned farm story problems to solve. The collection of
19th and early 20th century utensils, tools, and other home items provide
a challenge when it comes to naming them and describing their use.
Patron Party Is
Sunday, Jan. 13
The annual Patron Party serves
as a thank-you to the Patron and
1873 Club members of the Society,
as well as those who have served as
volunteers for programs and events
during 2007. This year the party
will be held at a home that is one
of the most admired in the Village,
both for its charm and décor and
for its role in Indian Hill history.
Noted for its lavish gourmet
buffet and refreshments, the Patron
Party is by invitation, with the
mailing going out after Christmas.
If you are not yet a Patron member,
but would like to join or to raise
the category of your current
membership, please contact the
office at 891-1873.
