OCTOBER 10, 2008- INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 3
VILLAGE COUNCIL OPPOSES ANDERSON TOWNSHIP MINE PROPOSAL
Village Council has passed a resolution expressing opposition to a proposal to allow a deep
limestone mine operation in Anderson Township.
Council decided to express this opposition
after reviewing the detailed plans for the facility and deciding that the proposal could negatively
impact homes which overlook the Little Miami River valley in the southeast end of the Village.
The Village is especially concerned about four major potential impacts. First, the noise study which accompanies
the Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. application indicates that ambient noise levels will be approximately 65 dBA at
the property line, which is about the same volume as a vacuum cleaner or medium level vehicular traffic. However,
this measurement estimate does not appear to consider that the principle noise generators, the conveyors and
secondary stone crushing operation will be elevated above ground level, and this could impact homes on the hillside
approximately 3,000 feet away from the mine. Second, the site plan included in the application indicates that the
entire secondary crushing and processing operation will be lighted with a series of 1,000 watt floodlights. This
lighting plan represents a light pollution concern for homes in southeast Indian Hill. Third, even though the main
mining operation will take place 400-800 feet underground, the use of explosives, the above ground processing,
and the material conveying system will generate dust which could, under certain wind conditions, impact homes
in nearby Indian Hill. Finally, the traffic study submitted as part of the application by Martin Marietta Materials
is nearly useless because it only presents peak hour traffic data, not 24 hour volume increases. The only useable
information which can be derived from the study is that truck traffic will increase by 150 trips during the morning peak
hour and 75 trips during the evening peak hour. One can only surmise from this data that the total new trips per day
will total less than 3,600 vehicles per day (24 hours X 150). While an accurate projection is probably substantially
lower than this “worst case scenario”, it is clear that heavy truck traffic in the general vicinity of the mine site will
increase dramatically. Very little or none of this traffic will find its way to Indian Hill streets, due to legal prohibitions,
but nearby major thoroughfares and primary roads will be negatively impacted by the increased truck traffic.
The deep mine project involves a 480 acre former gravel mine site. The site is located approximately
½ to 1 mile due south of the South Drake, Willow Run, Willow Hills, Councilrock, Indian Ridge, and Noel
Lane neighborhoods in the Village. The proposed project involves a deep mine for the purpose of quarrying
limestone. The mine would involve two descending shafts to mine the limestone at an elevation of 400-800
feet below ground. The mining operation involves underground blasting and the storage of blasting materials
on the site. The site is zoned for industrial use and a mining operation is a permitted “Conditional Use” in
such a district. The Anderson Township Board of Zoning Appeals (ATBZA) has jurisdiction over the approval
process. Their responsibilities include determining whether conditions should be placed on the operation
in order to minimize or eliminate impacts on neighbors. There are also several companion requests for
variances to the zoning ordinance which require ATBZA approval in order to permit the proposed operation.
There remains substantial opposition to the proposal from nearby residents in Anderson Township, Newtown,
and Terrace Park. The concerns expressed by this opposition mainly involve noise; the negative impacts from
blasting, including dust; heavy truck traffic; and potential negative impacts on the Little Miami River and the adjacent
aquifer. Many of the opponents are represented by Tim Mara, who is a Cincinnati area land use and environment
issues attorney. The organized opposition also maintains an informational website: www.saveourmiami.com.
Village Council has authorized the City Manager and the Village’s legal counsel to attend an October 2, 2008
ATBZA hearing on the proposed mine and to voice the concerns outlined above. Village officials will continue to
monitor the review process and take appropriate steps as may be deemed necessary to represent the interests of Indian
Hill residents. We will also continue to advise residents of the status of the case and any related Village actions in direct
mailings to south Indian Hill neighborhoods, future Bulletin articles, and on the Village webpage: www.ihill.org.
OCTOBER 10, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 4
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY AGGREGATION ISSUE ON NOVEMBER BALLOT
Village Council has placed a referendum on the November 4, 2008 ballot to determine whether the Village of Indian
Hill can act as an aggregator on behalf of all Village residents.
It is important to note that a positive vote in November will authorize the Village of Indian Hill to act as an aggregator
on behalf of all residents, unless they choose to opt out of the program. Council and the Village administration will keep
residents informed about the ballot and the probable Village actions when the ballot issue is approved. Residents are
encouraged to carefully review any informational literature they receive on the subject and make an informed decision on
whether to participate in the aggregation program or to opt out and pursue other alternatives.
Indian Hill and Energy Alliances/Integrys are currently working together on a similar customized program for residents.
It provides participants reliable rates and the security of knowing their price ahead of time.
Indian Hill, like the nearby communities of Cheviot and Green Township, selected a program that gave customers a
locked-in price maximum along with the opportunity for the price to go lower if market prices drop. Customers still receive
a single bill from Duke Energy and make a single payment, but are no longer limited to just a monthly variable price. Despite
a sudden jump in natural gas prices earlier in the year, residents of Indian Hill, Cheviot and Green Township are saving
money. Savings can be substantial, as the chart illustrates. Residents have enjoyed stabilized natural gas prices with the
knowledge their rates are protected from rising prices.
Aggregation programs are very appealing because they are developed through teamwork with the community. Village
Council has placed the “opt-out” natural gas aggregation program, which is currently used by both Cheviot and Green
Township, on the ballot to improve residents’ opportunity for participation over the existing program in the community.
Any questions about the aggregation proposal or Council’s consideration of the ordinance placing the issue on the
November ballot may be directed to Michael W. Burns, City Manager, at 561-6500.
VILLAGE HIT HARD BY WIND STORM
The September 21, 2008 wind storm that impacted all of southwestern Ohio will keep the Public Works Department
employees working overtime for several weeks cleaning up the public right-of-ways and collecting debris from property
owners. Approximately 20 Village roads were closed for varying lengths of time following the storm in order to clear fallen
trees from utility lines. Village personnel are not permitted to remove debris from utility lines until the utility companies
have responded and removed their lines from the debris. Approximately 90% of all Duke Energy customers lost electric
power in the Tri-state area, and this percentage was even higher in Indian Hill with power to some homes remaining out for
over a week. Duke Energy work crews were aided by crews from the southeast area of the country as they completed the
difficult task of reconnecting the 600,000+ customers who lost power.
The Village will assist residents during the clean up by waiving special pick-up charges for storm debris which is
collected by the property owner and placed at an accessible location for Public Works equipment and personnel. Brush must
be cut into six foot lengths to facilitate the removal. Please call the Public Works Department to be placed on a pick up list.
Due to the volume of debris, it is anticipated that the storm clean up will not be completed until later this fall. Crews will
concentrate on the right-of-ways, parks, and private property first, and then focus on bridle trails and trees which have fallen
from Green Areas onto private property later in the clean up.
Village officials are also assembling a study committee to review the response efforts and make recommendations on
how such widespread outages might be limited in the future. This subject will be addressed in future Bulletin articles.
RANGER CHAT
Halloween Safety
Halloween is fast approaching.TheVillage will celebrate this fun filled evening for kids onOCTOBER 31st from
6pm-8pm. The Rangers would like to remind trick-or- treaters, their parents and motorists of some important safety tips.
Plan and know the route that the children will be walking
Be sure that young children are accompanied by and adult or older teen
Only Trick-or-Treat during set times (6pm-8-pm)
Stop only at familiar houses or homes that indicate that they have treats, generally by having a
porch light on
Do not eat candy until it can be checked by an adult
Carry a flashlight and cell phone for visibility and to contact emergency personnel if needed
If driving, be sure to drive slow and with caution
Motorists should watch for children who may be walking in or crossing the road
The Rangers hope that everyone has a Safe and Happy Halloween!!
Resident Packets
If you are a new resident, a resident who has never completed a resident packet or a
resident whose information may have changed, please stop by the Ranger Station to pick one up. This
information is valuable to the Police and Fire Department for alarms or for emergency contact information.
Be sure that there is a current key on file as well. For questions, please call the Rangers, 561-7000.
Home Security Survey
The Indian Hill Police Department would like to offer the residents of the Village, an opportunity to have their home
surveyed for security strengths and weaknesses. The survey will look at the exterior of home, interior of home, doors,
windows, security system, and other areas of concern. This will be a one-on-one interaction to answer questions about
home security and to offer advice to improve on areas that might need corrected. If you are interested in a Home Security
Survey, let me know. You can contact me at 561-7000 or e-mail at [email protected], to schedule a time.

KEY POINTS REGARDING YARD WASTE RECYCLING
The Public Works Department would like to remind everyone of a few key points regarding our yard waste
recycling program to keep it running smoothly and free of confusion.
The Public Works Department provides the removal of bagged yard waste free of charge provided that the
leaves and grass clippings are placed in environmentally friendly biodegradable paper bags, kept free of garbage
(plastic containers, mulch bags, dirt, etc.,) and weigh no more than 50 lbs. These yard waste bags can be purchased
at most home improvement/grocery stores in the area. Due to safety factors and restrictions by the EPA, plastic
bags are not accepted. In addition, yard waste will not be collected if it is placed in with your household trash.
Residents must call to schedule a pick up. If you have brush and bags, please call to schedule a brush pick up
and we will collect your bags and brush at the same time. The brush should be cut in lengths of 6 – 8 feet and
uniformly stacked on or near the drive in an area free of obstructions and accessible with our truck and loader.
The service charge for most brush pickups is $70.00 dollars per hour with a minimum charge of $10.00. In order
to keep disposal costs down, we ask that if you have a contractor working on bushes or trees, please have them
include disposal in their contract price.
When the time comes that you have yard waste you would like to have picked up, or for any questions, please
contact the Public Works department at 831-3712. We will have it picked up in a timely manner.
Thank You,
David Yeager
Village Increases Recycling
Congratulations to the residents and employees of the Village of Indian Hill for their efforts in increasing the

Reminder: Open Burning is regulated in Indian Hill
As fall approaches and colder weather outdoor activities and leaves come to mind, a reminder from the
Madeira & Indian Hill Joint Fire District of the regulations that govern “open burning”
You are “open burning” anytime you light an outdoor fire. In the past, many materials-including leaves,
tree trimmings, tires, construction debris were routinely burned outdoors.
Respect for our neighbors and our environment (air quality, global warming, etc.) dictate adherence to the
below guidelines for open burning
Without a permit or notification:
* Bonfires, campfires, outdoor fireplace equip, (fires for cooking, ceremonial, warmth or recreational purposes)
Must be fueled w/clean seasoned firewood and may not exceed 3ft x 2ft;
* Heating tar, welding, acetylene torches, highway safety flares, heating for warmth of outdoor workers &
strikers, smudge pots & similar occupational needs.
(The above fires must not be used for waste disposal & shall be of minimum size for their intended
purpose.)
With a Permit from Madeira & Indian Hill Joint Fire District AND With prior notification to Ohio EPA
or Hamilton County Environmental Services:
* Agricultural waste (from farming/agricultural operations only) - the fire must be located at a point on the property
which is at least 1,000 feet from the nearest inhabited neighboring residence & the waste must be generated on
the premises (waste may not be hauled in from off-site); Ceremonial fires - not exceeding 5ft x 5ft; may not
burn for longer than 3 hours & may not be used for waste disposal purposes;
* Prevention or control of disease or pests, with written or verbal verification from appropriate agency.
With a Permit from Madeira & Indian Hill Joint Fire District AND
With written permission from Ohio EPA or Hamilton County Environmental Services:
* Fire training;
* Range, horticultural or wildlife management;
* Limited circumstances w/ OEPA approval.
Open Burning Permits are issued by the Joint Fire District when above regulations are met and there are no

GARDEN HINTS
FROM ROWE ARBORETUM
Fall is a great time of the year to work in your gardens.
The weather is much more tolerable than during the hot days
of summer, so now is an enjoyable time for a number of
landscaping projects.
Consider planting new things! It’s a perfect time to plant
new trees and shrubs. They will have plenty of time to
establish themselves in your yard, and you may find a few
end-of-the-year bargains at your local nursery. Don’t forget
to add or naturalize a few bulbs too just to add a splash of
color for next spring’s awakening.
Falling leaves are nature’s way of mulching for the
winter. Put the ones you don’t want in your landscaping into
a wooded area. With your mower chop up what you can in
your lawn areas and either leave them lay to decompose or
vacuum them and put into your compost pile. Aerating your
lawn with the chopped leaves in place will naturally feed
your lawn during the winter; the soil cores will speed up the
breakdown process.
After the leaves have fallen comes a good time to analyze
your trees and shrubs for possible pruning work. Since
the structures of the plants are much more visible you can
determine what needs to removed or shaped to your desired
tastes. Wait to trim your pines, spruces, and hollies for
December. The cuttings will make great decorations for the
holidays.
Going to have your trees professionally worked on
this fall or winter? Avoid any tree service firms who will
do “topping”. This antiquated form of pruning is very
detrimental to a tree’s health and causes future problems
such as decay, falling branches and even early tree death.
Any reputable tree firm will refuse to “top” a tree.
Most perennials this time of year have died back to the
ground. It is recommended that the dead or dying foliage is
removed from the garden. This prevents any over wintering
diseases from re-infecting your plants next spring.
If this fall continues with a deficit when it comes to rainfall,
it is a good idea to water your trees and shrubs. Much root
growth and food storage is going on now and if your yard
is dry as a result of the continuing dry spell of August and
September you may need to help Mother Nature out. Go out
and give your plants a good soaking. The cooler weather
this fall will keep a lot of the moisture from evaporating, so
not as much water is needed as it was during the summer.
ROWE ARBORETUM
WISH LIST
The Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum is in need of a couple
of gently used household appliances. Do you have a reliable
washer or a good vacuum cleaner that could be put to good
use at the arboretum? Your tax deductible gifts of these items
or even funds to help purchase these needed items would be
greatly appreciated. Please call 561-5151 to arrange for a
pickup, and your donation will be followed by a letter of
appreciation.
Cincinnati Country Day School Students Perform
Play commemorates September 11, 2001
On Thursday, September 11, Juniors Kate Flexter (Indian
Hill) and Thomas Langlois (Pleasant Ridge) gave two
performances of The Guys, a play by journalist Anne Nelson,
commemorating the events of September 11, 2001. The first
performance was for ninth-grade Humanities classes and a
second evening performance for a general audience.
Based on the author’s own experiences, The Guys is
the story of a fire captain who lost eight men in the World
Trade Center attacks and who seeks the help of a writer to
prepare their eulogies. In the process, he begins to overcome
his grief, and she, who feels a general sense of loss but did
not lose any family members or friends, grows close to the
firefighters she writes about, so that the tragedy becomes
personal for her.
Glenn Lindahl, (Terrace Park) CCDS Theater Technician
had approached Langlois with the idea of having a studentrun production of an important musical or play.
Langlois agreed to take on the project and selected The
Guys. He invited Flexter to play the writer and to co-direct.
The two students worked intensively on the play during
July and August. It is Lindahl’s hope that “other students
will follow.” Lindahl was responsible for the impressive
multimedia used in the show.
Kelly Hammond (Hyde Park), CCDS Academic Dean
and Upper School Humanities teacher noted the ninth grade
response was significant and freshmen were impressed
with the play’s performance and its import. Gail Yacyshyn
(Anderson) noted how well the tone Langlois and Flexter
took relayed the nature of the events, saying, “It was a serious
performance of a serious play.” “It was easy to follow,”
Robert Settles (Mason) explained, “because it was serious
and because [Flexter] paused and talked to the audience
about what she was thinking.” Emily Sprinkle (Parkdale)
added, “I thought it was really cool to see [9/11] from the
perspective of someone it affected...to see the stories and
even people in denial.” Sarah Davis (Anderson) praised both
the actors and the text at once, explaining, “They displayed
a lot of emotion, and it was their emotion too. They weren’t
just expecting us to feel it; they felt it.”
Kate Flexter began acting in the 4th grade and has appeared
in many productions. She has trained at ACTeen in New
York and at the Stagedoor Manor. Kate is the daughter of
Gregory and Jane Flexter of Indian Hill. Thomas Langlois
has appeared on stage in numerous productions over the past
few years. He has performed at Playhouse in the Park, The OCTOBER 10, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE10
Falcon Theater, the Ovation theater, and with the Cincinnati
Shakespeare Company, The New Stage Collective, and on
the CCDS stage. Thomas is the son of Thomas ‘77 and
Elaine Langlois of Pleasant Ridge.
Thomas Langlois and Kate Flexter perform the Guys
improving upon his first race by more than 10 seconds (7
minutes 47:14 seconds), to advance to the finals. He improved
his time again in the finals (7 minutes 39 seconds) but finished
a close second to a boat from the Steel City Rowing Club.
Jimmy finished a successful sophomore rowing season at
CCDS in 2008 and looks to be an integral part of a strong team
in 2009. He is the son of James and Amy Stafford of Indian Hill.
The Cincinnati Country Day School Rowing Team is
the oldest scholastic (single school) rowing program in
Cincinnati at 26 years, founded by Bill Hopple III ‘71, in
1982. The program offers competitive sweep rowing and
sculling for high school boys and girls attending CCDS.
CCDS Rowing achieved a milestone in 2004 with both
the Boys and Girls Teams reaching the Finals of U. S. National
events. The CCDS boys team has reached the finals of the
U.S. Nationals for five consecutive years, 2002-2008. In
2003, the Boys’ Varsity 8 traveled to the Henley Royal Regatta
in England and raced competitively with the best teams in
the world. In 2006, the boys returned to Henley in a quad. CCDS is the current holder of the Cincinnati City
Championship Trophy for Scholastic Rowing and has
been state and regional champion numerous times.
CCDS Rowing alumni have gone on to row at
many prestigious schools such as Harvard, Trinity
College, Brown University, Dartmouth, University
of California at Berkley, Gonzaga University, US
Coast Guard Academy, Tufts University, The US
Naval Academy, and Colby College, to name a few.

Four Cincinnati Country Day School Students Named National Merit Semifinalists
First Row L-R: Marguerite Wevers, Kevin Breneman and CCDS Upper School
Head, Stephanie Luebbers. Back Row L-R: Howard Kimm and Max Victor
The names of approximately 16,000 Semifinalists in the 53rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program were announced
today by officials of National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to
continue in the competition for some 8,200 Merit Scholarship® awards, worth $34 million. Cincinnati Country Day School announced
today that 4 members of the senior class of 64 students had achieved National Merit Semifinalist status. The students named are: Kevin
Breneman (Anderson), Howard Kim (Symmes), Maxfield Victor (Anderson Township), and Marguerite Wevers (Symmes).
In an e-mail from Upper School Head Stephanie Luebbers (Indian Hill) to the faculty and students, “CCDS has four seniors that have
been named semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition. Please join me in congratulating Kevin Breneman, Howard
Kim, Maxfield Victor, and Marguerite Wevers on their outstanding accomplishment.”
More than 1.4 million juniors in nearly 21,000 high schools entered the 2008 National Merit Program by taking the 2006
Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.
To become a Finalist, a Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended
by the school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier qualifying test performance. The Semifinalist and a school
official must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes the student’s self descriptive essay and information about the
Semifinalist’s participation and leadership in school and community activities.
Approximately 15,000 Semifinalists will advance to the Finalist level and it is from this group that all Merit Scholarship winners
will be chosen. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous
college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
Three types of Merit Scholarship awards will be offered in the spring of 2008. Every Finalist will compete for one of 2,500
National Merit $2500 Scholarships that will be awarded on a state representational basis. About 1,100 corporate-sponsored scholarships
will be provided by some 300 corporations and business organizations for Finalists who meet their specified criteria, such as children
of the grantor’s employees or residents of communities where sponsor plants or offices are located. In addition, approximately 200
colleges and universities are expected to finance some 4,600 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for Finalists who will attend
the sponsor institution.Merit Scholarship winners of 2008 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and
concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join some 250,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit
Scholar title.
CCDS Begins 83rd Year
On Sunday, August 24, CCDS welcomed 130 new students to the CCDS community during the annual New Family Ice Cream
Social prior to the start of school.
Over 200 new students, parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and current students attended the event. United Dairy Farmers
supplied ice cream for everyone, and students were treated to carnival activities, corn hole, music, and fun. The event was hosted by
the Admission Office and the Head of School.
CCDS attracts a diverse group of new students each year from around the globe. While many of the new students come from the
Greater Cincinnati area, others relocated with their families from outside of Ohio and the United States. New students from the local
area alone represent 32 (54 school-wide) different zip codes. Other new students to CCDS come from the states of California, New
York, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the District of Columbia. In addition, we welcome new students from the
countries of Belgium, China, and the United Kingdom. As a group, these new students have attended a variety of public, private, and
OCTOBER 10, 2008 - INDIAN HILL BULLETIN PAGE 14
independent schools. Over the past three years, all-school diversity has grown. Today, 22% of the student body identify themselves as racially or ethnically
diverse. The faculty, staff, and current families look forward to introducing the new families to all that CCDS has to offer and to
welcoming them into our diverse community.
On Wednesday, August 27 a new school year began! To kick-off the new school year, the CCDS Parents’ Association, under the
guidance of President Ginger Kielarowski (Mason), held their annual welcome meeting as well as the new Activities and Events Fair
for parents.
The meeting began with a continental breakfast followed by brief remarks from the Head of School, Dr. Robert P. Macrae (Indian
Hill). Dr. Macrae welcomed the large gathering saying “This year promises to be very rewarding for our students, faculty, and parents
alike. We have several exciting developments in store for our community, from the initiation of a curriculum review project to the
launch of new parent, student and faculty portals on our website where families can receive personalized information such as grades,
homework, and much more.” He closed by saying “At CCDS, we continue to evaluate, implement, and refine our programs to ensure the
best possible academic outcomes for our children. Welcome – it is a profound honor to have the opportunity to serve you.”
After Dr. Macrae spoke, the Parents’ Association kicked-off the Activities and Events Fair for all new and returning families.

Bortz family helps Bloom Boom
Neil and Susie Bortz of Towne Properties know how to host a party. The couple and their family turned their
Indian Hill home into a huge garden party to host Bloom for Stepping Stones with graceful white party tents
aglow with white lights, candles and bright paper lanterns. Vases overflowing with bright summer flowers topped
tables and serving stations.
The number of guests is still being tallied, but it’s edging close to a record 500 for the end-of-summer party
that supports Stepping Stones Center for children and adults with disabilities. The evening included live and silent
auctions for artwork, jewelry, vacations and some special donations by the Bortz family, including a cruise on
the Bortz boat with catering by McHale’sCatering, a log cabin playhouse with a porch swing already occupied
by a huge stuffed bear, and a classic pink bicycle with a wicker basket purchased for the auction by the Bortz
grandchildren and their classmates who raised the money to help children with disabilities. Town Properties also
was the presenting sponsor for the event.
Corporate patrons were Fifth Third Bank and Landor Associates, which created and produced the intriguing
invitations that slid open to bloom like petals on flower.
Channel 5 News Anchor Courtis Fuller welcomed the Cincinnati Choir, including Meghan Watkins who was
one of five US singers to perform in the World Youth Choir at the Summer Olympics. Fuller conducted the live
auction in a spirited exchange drawing laughs, money and applause.
The sentimental favorite on the auction block was Blossom, a 12-week-old Puggle pup – half pug, half
beagle. She went home with Carrie Buerkle of Dewey’s Pizza, which was one of the 18 food donors serving
everything from shrimp and crab cakes to brisket, salmon and caviar petit fours and Key lime pie. Tina Hesser, nurse at Stepping Stones Center and wife of Stepping Stones board member Bo Hesser, won the
raffle for a hand pieced “Blazing Blossoms” quilt made by Gail Fischer of Indian Hill and Jane Frontera of Corpus
Christi, Texas. Hesser did a victory dance wrapped in the colorful quilt. The Clyde Brown Band kept the dance
floor filled and more than one guest kicked off shoes and crowded around the bandstand.
Corporate donors included Baker Concrete Construction, Blue Chip Venture Company, Cincinnati Bell,
Cincinnati Center of Cardiology, Contemporary Cabinetry East, Fischer Special Manufacturing, Frost Brown
Todd, Graydon Head, R. F. McGraw Insurance, Prodigy Title Agency, Ray Hamilton Company, Taft Stettinius
& Hollister, Vorys Legal Counsel, Xerox Foundation, Arnold Printing, Paycor, Smart Papers and Wells Fargo
Insurance Services of Ohio.
Bloom is a major fund raiser for Stepping Stones Center, a United Way partner agency serving children and
adults with disabilities since 1963. Stepping Stones has 23 acres in Indian Hill and 47 acres in Batavia where it
provides summer day and residential camp, respite weekends and year-round programs for children and adults
with disabilities. Stepping Stones serves participants with all types and levels of disability, offering creative
programs that increase independence, improve lives and
promote inclusion.
Registration is open for the Saturday Kids Club day
camp, held on the first and third Saturdays of each month
during the school year, and for the Preschool and toddler
programs. Preschool and toddler includes a Parents Time
Out option, where parents can set up a flexible schedule,
booking once a week or once a month. The option also
allows parents who register their child to call on short
notice to use available openings.

MidPoint Hits a HighPoint
A breakthrough year for Cincinnati’s 7th annual
MidPoint Music Festival CityBeat’s annual MidPoint Music Festival, held
Thursday through Saturday (Sept.25-27), has established
itself as the Midwest’s premier indoor music festival,
according to executive producer Dan McCabe. The 2008 festival drew over 12,000 attendees to
hear more than 180 bands at 49 showcases throughout
Downtown, Over-the-Rhine and at the Southgate House
in Newport. In a year when concert and club attendance
is struggling all over the country due to the sluggish
economy, many of the MidPoint venues enjoyed near
capacity, if not full capacity crowds, all three nights. Downtown nightclubs were alive and buzzing throughout
the weekend. Veteran MPMF venues Arnold’s and The
Blue Wisp spoke highly of this year’s festival experience. Absolutely incredible! Blew it off the charts...MidPoint
is a gift.” - Ronda Androski, Owner/Operator Arnolds
“We had a great time. The Blue Wisp is all about
expanding musical horizons and MidPoint did exactly
that.”Ed Felson, Blue Wisp Jazz Lounge Owner A popular new feature at this year’s festival was the
addition of 20 Scion streetcars deployed to shuttle festivalgoers between venues. The shuttle route mirrored part of
the proposed Cincinnati streetcar route and many riders
hopped on board in order to catch as much live music
as possible. According to Scion representative Gregory
Stevenson more than 2,500 festival-goers rode the streetcars
throughout the weekend. “Cincinnati’s MidPoint Music
Festival is a great success. Let’s do it again!” he said. Local music message boards were filled with
comments praising the convenience of the shuttle service. “The Scions Rocked” - WOXY.com message board
“The Scion Streetcars were about the coolest idea yet…
so easy to get from place to place” - Cincymusic.com “This festival was built with the minds and muscle
of Cincinnati musicians and music fans making
MidPoint a truly authentic product of a real music town.
Expect an even bigger MPMF in 2009,” McCabe said. Performers at the festival included Mates of State,
Why?, The Felice Brothers, Spectrum, God Made Me
Funky, Flow, Robert Pollard’s Boston Spaceships, The
Sadies and a surprise show by New York’s Radio 4. The festival also drew significant local, regional and
national media coverage. CityBeat, which organized MPMF
this year, provides its own take online at http://www.
citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-16130-thats-a-wrap.html
Where Bambi goes, nuthin grows
Now that Hurricane Ike has passed through, the lights are back on, and the debris has been cleaned up, it is time
to consider how all the fallen trees are going to be replaced. If you venture into the wooded areas, you will note
the absence of saplings. Bambi has eaten everything in the woods but the honeysuckle and the poison ivy. He
comes into our yards because there is nothing remaining in the woods to eat. He is a live incarnation of Roundup
I have three of them living in my front yard. They stand there and look at me as if they think I should move on.
They ought to be paying my property taxes.
The animal rights folks argue that Bambi has just as much right to destroy the planet as we do - deer are part
of the natural order. What they fail to point out is that the deers’ predators, once a part of the natural order, are
nowhere to be seen. We could reintroduce the mountain lions, but of course they also eat the little kids. Even the
animal rights advocates won’t vote for that one.
Another problem the deer create is the hazard to motorists. Why do we have to wait for someone to be killed in
a collision with a deer before we do something about it? Some believe it has already happened. Is not one human
life more important than the deer population?
Not long ago a deer attacked the side of my car out on Blome Road near Marge’s place. I thought a tree had
fallen on the top of my car. Fortunately for me, I was able to maintain control.
I have friends who live in Ryland Lakes, Kentucky. The residents never see deer there and live quite happily. A
deer sighting might be a special occasion. Evidently, the locals shoot them for food and keep the deer population
in check.
I have a plan. For the first week in December I would close the schools, pack up all the residents and send them
to Naples, Florida. Half of us will already be there. I would then hire a battalion of country boys from Adams
County, outfit them with AK-47s, and turn them loose with the intention of annihilating the deer population. Not
to worry. Bambi will be back. Deer will migrate from Milford and Montgomery so that in ten years we shall
have to repeat the process. But in the meantime the saplings would have an opportunity to reforest our wooded
areas and replace the casualties from storms and the ash borer. There is no prospect that Bambi will become an
endangered species.
Aside from the benefits to vegetation and road safety, my proposal would offer other benefits. We could
supply all the soup kitchens in the Over-the-Rhine with venison for the entire winter. Venison steaks would be
cheaper than hamburger at the Madeira Krogers. And, deerskin area rugs riddled with bullet holes available at
friendly prices would be the fashion in the newly built mansions in the Village.
I do not seriously think that you are going to endorse my proposal. The point is that dramatic action is needed.
Allowing the bow-and-arrow guys another few weeks to hunt is not going to make a material difference. The
Bambi lovers need to abandon their agenda. And, we need to rewrite the rules of engagement for thinning this
marauding herd of vegetation destroyers.

THE INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO
KNOW…
----It has been reported that Daniel
Boone was a frequent visitor to his
cousin Thomas Boone’s home in Indian
Hill. Dating back to 1799, the Boone
springhouse is one of the Village’s oldest
structures still in its original setting. It
has been thoughtfully preserved by the
Berger family on Shawnee Run Road.
----During WW II, Village resident
Dorothy Rowe started a newsletter,
The Carrier Pigeon, to keep her soldier
son and friends informed of local news.
Renowned artist Charles Dana Gibson
drew the newsletter masthead.
----Clarence Harvey DeMar, after whom
the road is named, was nicknamed Mr.
DeMarathon. Born in 1888, not only
did he represent the U.S. in the 1912
Olympics, but he ran in the Boston
Marathon 34 times and won it 7 times
and three-peated in the 1920s. Winning
in 1930, at age 41, established him as
the oldest winner in history!
If your curiosity has been peaked,
you should mark your calendar for
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26 and plan
to come to the Historical Society’s
program:
“Little Known Facts about
Indian Hill.”
Call the IHHS office at 891-1873 to
reserve your space for a delicious
brunch and a program that will both
educate and entertain you as we explode
some myths and explore some secrets
of the Village.
SPEAKING OF BOOKS!
Indian Hill – A Point of View, the
exciting new book published by the
Indian Hill Historical Society, is
ready for purchase at the Buckingham
Lodge.
WANTED:
Village Books
Vintage Photographs
The Hauck Family Library and
Research Center of the Indian Hill
Historical Society is expanding its
collection of works written by current
and previous Village authors.
In
addition, the Society is soliciting for
copies of books or periodicals written
about past or current residents.
Residents will be thrilled to explore this
full color, hard bound book featuring 45
images of landscapes and village scenes,
many of them landmarks, captured in
vivid oil paintings by renowned local
artist, Leslie Shiels.
Accompanying each scene is a brief
narrative exploring the history, nature,
and unique beauty of Indian Hill. The
locations come to life with anecdotal
and factual information researched and
written by local author and attorney,
William Chatfield.
Of interest, also, are archival
photographs of Village scenes, events,
individuals and families. The office has
the ability to scan these photographs
and often restore them to a better
quality. Originals will be returned to
the owners.
In addition to her paintings, Leslie
punctuates each page “for delight
and amusement” she said, with small
signature pen and ink vignettes or
“remarques” that link her images to
Chatfield’s narrative.
The books and periodicals will be
filed in the library at Buckingham
Lodge to be used for research, and the
photographs will be included in the
Society’s archives to be shared today
and preserved for future generations.
Indian Hill – A Point of View is a MUST
HAVE for village residents. It is also a
wonderful gift for former residents and
friends and families around the country.
Think of it as a terrific housewarming
gift for new neighbors or a thoughtful
birthday or Christmas present.
Village residents are encouraged
to bring books, periodicals and
photographs to the Historical Society
offices in the Buckingham Lodge, 8650
Camargo Road.
Please call or stop by the Historical
Society Offices to purchase your books!
Each copy is only $53.25 (includes sales
tax). After you see the book, you’ll be
sure to purchase many!
