VILLAGE TRANSITIONS TO NEW MANAGER

The Village of Indian Hill is set for a transition to a new

manager between now and the middle of January 2013.

Michael Burns recently announced his plans to retire Janu-

ary 18, 2013 after thirty-five years of public service, in-

cluding the last twenty-three years as City Manager of the

Village of Indian Hill. Mr. Burns will retire as the fifth and

longest serving City Manager since the Village incorpo-

rated in 1941.

Village Council engaged the services of Management Part-

ners to assist in the search for a successor City Manager.

After vetting both local and national candidates during a

two month long search process, Council selected a local

candidate, Dina Minneci, as Burns’s successor. Dina will

come on board at Indian Hill on November 12, 2012 and

work with Michael for the next two months until he retires.

Mrs. Minneci has been the Township Administrator of Lib-

erty Township, Butler County for the past eight years. Pri-

or to service with Liberty Township, she was Assistant Fi-

nance Director (1999-2000) and then Finance Director

(2000-2004) at the City of Wyoming. She was also Tax

Administrator at the City of Fairfield from 1996 to 1999.

At the November 19, 2012 Council meeting, Village

Council had a second reading of an ordinance increasing

the Indian Hill income tax rate from 0.4% to 0.6% retroac-

tive to January 1, 2012 (for taxes due April 15, 2013). A

third reading and emergency passage of the ordinance is

scheduled for December 17, 2012. The rate increase is the

result of the state legislature eliminating estate taxes as a

source of local government revenue at the end of this year.

The income tax rate increase is estimated to generate an

additional $3.1 million annually beginning in 2013, and

will help partially offset the loss of $4 million the Village

has averaged in annual estate tax revenues. Village offi-

cials will balance the remaining shortfall by continuing

many of the budget cuts which were put in place following

the 2008 economic downturn. The increased income tax

revenues will enable Council to fund ongoing services and

programs at the high level residents have come to expect

from the Village. Council is also optimistic that the econ-

omy is slowly recovering, and this recovery will result in

increased future year tax revenues which will continue to

support services and operations.

New tax forms, reflecting the higher rate, will be prepared

and these will be sent to each taxpayer. Taxpayers who

desire to prepay their income taxes in 2012 may elect to

simply use a form from a prior year and indicate that the

tax liability shown on line 6 of the return has been calcu-

lated at 0.6%. Prepayments should be sent directly to the

Village Offices, 6525 Drake Road, Cincinnati, Ohio

45243.

Mrs. Connie Eberhart, Tax Commissioner, is in the Tax

Office each weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and will

be glad to answer any questions regarding the preparation

of your tax return. The Tax Office can be reached by call-

ing 979-6219.

COUNCIL PLANS INCOME TAX RATE INCREASE TO

OFFSET THE LOSS OF ESTATE TAX REVENUES

Residents and other Grand Valley pass holders will soon

receive a letter from the Grand Valley Advisory Commit-

tee soliciting private donations to help the Village com-

plete important Grand Valley capital improvements which

can no longer be accommodated by the Village’s Capital

Improvement Reserve Fund (CIRF). As a result of the

elimination of estate taxes as a revenue source for the

community, officials intend to direct available CIRF re-

sources toward the maintenance and upkeep of the Village

infrastructure, including: roads, bridges, parks, and the

purchase of major equipment; and we are asking residents

to consider making tax deductible donations to help com-

plete the Grand Valley Master Plan.

To this end, we are asking residents to support the contin-

ued development of the Grand Valley Preserve by making

a tax deductible donation to the Grand Valley Capital Im-

provement Fund of $50, $100, or more. All substantial

gifts - $1000 ―Hawk‖, $5,000 ―Osprey‖, and $10,000+

―Eagle‖ - will be recognized in an appropriate manner.

The Village purchased the 305 acre Grand Valley Preserve

property in 2002 for $7.5 million and over the last decade,

the Village has funded a series of capital projects which

were identified in a master development plan adopted in

2004. The Village has invested $1.4 million on projects

since 2003, but another $4.5 million in planned improve-

ments remain to be funded for completion in future years.

We hope to raise $100,000 by the end of 2012 to fund the

construction of a pedestrian bridge across the narrow end

of the north lake. This bridge will extend the walking trails

on the north area of the preserve by providing a critical

east-west connection and adding more than a mile of addi-

tional trails. Planned future improvements include: the

continued reforestation of the preserve; the installation of

wildlife observation blinds, a boardwalk, and additional

boat docks; the construction of overlooks, shoreline en-

hancements, and an interpretive center that will support

educational programs.

Donations made payable to the Grand Valley Capital

Improvement Fund may be mailed to the Village offices.

Any questions about the Master Plan or the sequencing of

future projects should be directed to George Kipp, Project

Manager, at 561-6500. It is expected that he solicitation

will be made on an annual basis.

VILLAGE INITIATES GRAND VALLEY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

The American

Paddlefish (Polyodon

spathula), a

unique prehis-

toric fish, is

indigenous to

our area and

are readily

found in the

Ohio River. The paddlefish can be distinguished by its

large mouth and its elongated, spatula-like snout (rostrum).

Paddlefish are highly valued for their black eggs (roe) pro-

cessed into caviar and its boneless, firm, white meat (pork-

like texture). Due to overexploitation and contamination

by organochlorine pollutants many of the wild populations

have been eliminated; and therefore, paddlefish farming is

becoming necessary to meet the market demand. The har-

vest process takes approximately 10 to 12 years to com-

plete.

Paddlefish filter and feed on zooplankton, and therefore

require no food supplements, throughout their long-lived

life (20+ years) and grow rapidly (up to 10 lbs/yr). Being

filter feeders they will not take bait or fishing lures and can

be seen swimming toward the surface of the water

throughout the year. They will not reproduce in a lake en-

vironment.

The Village of Indian Hill in agreement with Big Fish

Farms has introduced paddlefish at the Grand Valley Na-

ture Preserve. A very low density of 206 four-year old

paddlefish were stocked in the spring with another 880

fingerlings added in November.

Upon the completion of this exciting, forward thinking and

environmentally sound project the Village will benefit thru

the future re-stocking of our existing various types

(species) of fish in concert with the long range develop-

ment / expansion of continued sport fishing by our at-

tendees at the Grand Valley Nature Preserve.

The snow

began slowly,

a soft and easy

sprinkling

of flakes, then clouds of flakes

in the baskets of the wind

and the branches

of the trees-

oh, so pretty.

We walked

through the growing stillness,

as the flakes

prickled the path,

then covered it,

then deepened

as curds and drifts,

as the wind grew stronger,

shaping its work

less delicately,

taking greater steps

over the hills

and through the trees

until, finally,

we were cold,

and far from home.

We turned

and followed our long shadows back

to the house,

stamped our feet,

went inside, and shut the door.

Through the window

we could see

how far away it was to the gates of April.

Let the fire now

put on its red hat

and sing to us.

The Green Area Advisory Committee wishes

everyone a holiday season of peace, joy and love.

The Audubon Society will be conducting its annual

Christmas Bird Count for the 113th year. Would

you be interested in participating by counting the

birds at your feeder on Sunday, December 30th?

The data collected from both field and feeder

counts is used ―to assess the health of bird popula-

tions and to help guide conservation acton.‖ You

may choose to count the number and species of

birds at your feeder at one particular time or take a

count several different times during the day and

submit the observation with the highest number.

Please contact Bob Foppe at bob-

[email protected] or 685-2739 if you are inter-

ested. Your assistance will be so appreciated.

CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT

GRAND VALLEY BIRD WALK

JANUARY 12TH

The Green Areas Advisory Com-

mittee invites you to join us for a

bird walk on January 12th at Grand

Valley. We will meet at the main

gate at 8:30 a.m. for a walk that will last approxi-

mately an hour to an hour and a half.

Our guide will be Bob Foppe, an Indian Hill fire-

fighter and paramedic as well as an avid birder.

Bob has crisscrossed much of country in pursuit of

his passion, having seen more than 600 of the

USA’s species and 300 of Ohio’s 400 species.

Since he can identify a bird by its call or song even

if an actual sighting proves elusive we are assured

of an eventful morning.

Please dress for the weather and bring binoculars.

If you have any questions, please contact Bob

Foppe at [email protected] or 685-2739.

Bob McCarthy born

April 5, 1919, on a hill

farm near Marietta,

Ohio.

He was the middle

child of five boys

raised on an all-

purpose farm during

the Great depression

with no electricity, no

furnace and no indoor

plumbing. (The only

"horse power" on the

farm was two horses.)

The family was ―poor as church mice" but never hungry.

They grew and raised their own food — vegetables, fruit,

beef, pork, poultry, etc.

Bob was introduced to work at a very early age. At the

ages of five and six he helped pick strawberries with his

father and got .01 cent per quart. (The neighbor teens and

adults were paid .03 cents per quart.) When he was ten

through twelve he showed his first Entrepreneur aptitude

by buying packets of flower and vegetable seeds for .05

cents per pack and selling them to neighbors within a two

to three mile walking radius for .10 cents each. As a teen

he spent many summer days (if not working for his Dad

for $0.00), working for neighboring farmers for .50 cents

or a $1.00 for a long day. During two summers while in

college, he worked in a travelling construction crew build-

ing concrete silos for farmers. It was a back-breaking job

working from dawn til dusk and averaging less than

$15.00 per week.

Bob received his grade school education in a typical one

room school house with no electricity, a pot bellied stove

in the middle of the room and boys and girls out-houses.

He was lucky enough to ride the first school bus into the

city of Marietta where he graduated from St. Mary's High

School. He attended a small Catholic College in Colum-

bus, Ohio where he received an excellent education and

Bachelor of Arts degree in 1941.

Since Bob already had two brothers in the military service

and because of his father's disability, it became his respon-

sibility to manage the farm and drive the school bus for

two years. By choice, he also sold life insurance in the

evenings. His first 1942 federal tax return for the three

jobs showed a taxable income of $905.00.

In 1943, due to his education and work experience, he re-

ceived an Officer's Commission in the Navy before enter-

ing service and served on a Destroyer Escort in the Pacific

Theater. Following VJ day he played a key roll in accept-

ing the surrender of historic Wake Island. In 1946 he was

separated from the Navy as a Lieutenant.

Due to his prior life insurance experience, he was offered

an underwriting supervisor position at the then new Veter-

ans Administration in Columbus, Ohio. It was here that he

met his beautiful wife, Margie, the mother of their five

children, Molly, Christina, Kathy, Kevin and Sheila.

In 1948 Bob accepted a sales position in the business ma-

chine field where he became very successful by the stand-

ards of the day by earning more than the average attorney

and many medical doctors in the Columbus and Dayton

markets.

During this period of time he observed the evolution of

copy machines, a slow pro-cess of exposure to light and

development in a wet solution — one minute per copy.

Then in the mid `50s the 3M Company introduced a star-

tling product — the first all electric, all dry, 4 second copi-

er; The Thermofax. Sales took off like a rocket. After ob-

serving the success of the first appointed dealers, he ap-

plied for one of the remaining available dealerships. In the

fall of '57 he was awarded the Evansville, Indiana dealer-

ship. Bob and Margie put "all their chips on the table".

The birth of MOM, Modern Office Methods. On Decem-

ber 7, 1957, Bob travelled to Evansville to meet with the

3M representatives, find a shop, hire a couple of sales-men

and get started.

ROBERT J. MCCARTHY

FOUNDER OF MOM, MODERN OFFICE METHODS

EXPERIENCED THE "AMERICAN DREAM"

Page 7: INDIAN HILL · 2018. 5. 29. · November 29, 2012—Indian Hill Bulletin— Page 2 ARMSTRONG CHAPEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Thomas Kanis, Range Supervisor 831 5125 Drake Road Cincinnati,

November 29, 2012—Indian Hill Bulletin— Page 7

It was in February,1958, that Bob and Margie, with four

small children ages 6 months to 6 years moved to Evans-

ville to begin a new life. (Evansville's largest and long es-

tablished office products dealer gave MOM a six month's

life expectancy. He didn't know that the four letter word

"FAIL" was not in Bob's vocabulary.)

During his career, MOM expanded to sixteen contiguous

dealerships extending from Lake Erie to the Gulf of Mexi-

co. It took thirty years before Bob was able to acquire his

home territory — Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus. To-

day there are more than 200 employees and multiple loca-

tions. MOM is one of the largest and most respected docu-

ment solution companies in the Midwest.

Over the course of the past fifty plus years, MOM has re-

ceived and been recognized with over 360 awards for ex-

cellent performance. Presently, Bob and Margie's only son

Kevin is now President and CEO.

Kevin said that one of his Dad's greatest personal satisfac-

tions in business was observing more than a dozen em-

ployees become successful entrepreneurs. For example,

there was the first hire "all jobs" office person whose only

references were his excellent high school and college re-

port cards, who excelled through 25 years to become Pres-

ident and COO of MOM. Then Bob sold him the Topeka,

Kansas dealership on very favorable terms.

Also, there was a very young barber whom he hired who

became a very successful salesman and after a few years

with MOM he founded his own company in another mar-

ket area and built a group of dealerships greater than

MOM's. Another was a successful salesman who became

MOM's Branch Manager in Nashville, Tenn.

He wanted to join the 3M Company, (MOM'S supplier,

where he rose to become a Vice President of 3M. There

were many similar successes.

Bob and Margie loved to travel and have been on 6 conti-

nents and in 60 plus countries. Some of their highlight ex-

periences: In 1980, 2 years after President Nixon negotiat-

ed with China's MAO to open China's borders, their small

group under security surveillance was able to visit the

Ming Tombs, the Great Wall of China, and have dinner in

the Great Hall of the Republic in Bejing. Some of their

group slept on straw mattresses in a hospital converted

into a hotel. There were thousands of bicycles but no per-

sonal autos. Many Chinese stared at them as if they were

from outer space. In Capetown, South Africa, they were

privileged to have dinner with Dr. Bernard, the world's

first heart transplant surgeon and in Durban, South Africa,

they met and had dinner with the Oxford educated Chief of

the Zulu Tribe. In London, they toured and had dinner in

Winston Churchill's underground World War II Command

Post and had many other wonderful experiences around

the world.

Bob was the last leaf on his branch of the Family Tree. He

The Indian Hill Shooting Club recently completed the for-

mal portion of its Boy Scout Marksmanship program for

the 2012 Shooting Year. Led by Dan Beard Council

Marksmanship Instructor Paul Cowens, over 30 Scouts

participated in the riflery program in its eight week dura-

tion.

The formal sessions began on Wednesday September 5th

and continued through Wednesday October 31st. Several

other informal sessions occur throughout the year.

The primary emphasis was on meeting Merit Badge re-

quirements. Scouts who had already completed their merit

badge program worked on the requirements of advanced

programs sponsored by the NRA and Winchester.

Said Tom Kanis, Shooting Club Range Supervisor, ―the

quality of this program has increased every year, and con-

tinues to give these young shooters an excellent and safe

experience in the outdoor sports.‖

The Indian Hill Shooting Club holds this and several other

―fun‖ events throughout the year. To join the Shooting

Club, please contact Karen

Every Thoroughbred racehorse should be as lucky as

Lit'sgoodlookngray. He was born the son of a famous sire

(Lit de Justice) and stakes-producing dam (Color Collection)

and was raised in sunny California. He is well put together

and sports a beautiful gray coat with a disposition to match.

He earned $405,836 in his career, racing all but 4 races in the

state of his birth. As he aged and slowed a step, he was

moved to Phoenix, AZ, and ended his career at Turf Paradise

in the barn of the very capable Robertino Diodoro. Lit won

on 11-14-11 but finished 8th on 12-20-11. Mr. Diodoro real-

ized that the horse had the heart to compete but his knees

weren't up to the task and he notified the owners that it was

time for their horse to retire. This is a critical time for Thor-

oughbreds--a time when many of them are discarded and end

up in a horrible situation, but Lit's connections were not going

to let that happen to this beautiful gray champion.

TO HELP HORSES LIKE “LIT”

Equine Encore Foundation, our off-the-track retirement and

placement facility, was contacted and on January 2, 2012, we

drove from our farm in Tucson, AZ to Turf Paradise

(racetrack) and brought Lit to his new home. He had been

retired at just the right time. He was in beautiful condition

with a shining coat and an attitude to match. Although most

of our 70 horses are permanent residents, we could tell that

after a few months of adjusting to a quieter lifestyle, this

good-looking gray would be ready for adoption. A grant

from Brennan Equine Welfare Fund helped us support Lit

while he was learning about life away from the racetrack.

We were thrilled to discover that the Brennan folks didn't

care if we were located across the country in Tucson, AZ.

They were only concerned that we were providing a safe ha-

ven for racehorses who could no longer compete at the race-

track.

When it came time to send Lit to a new home, he hit the jack-

pot when Joy McKenna of Woodland Park, CO, adopted him.

Joy and Lit have bonded in an amazing way, and we receive

pictures and updates constantly. Joy had knee surgery per-

formed on him to make sure that his retirement would be

spent in comfort. If only, every ex-racehorse could find an

owner like Joy!

It has been said that "Rescuing an animal may not change the

world, but for that animal, its world is changed forever!"

Thanks to Brennan Equine Welfare Fund and Joy McKenna,

Lit'sgoodlookngray is one of those animals!

Brennan Equine Welfare Fund is a fund-raising, non-profit

501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2000 at the

Greater Cincinnati Foundation by Linda Pavey in honor and

memory of her horse, "Brennan‖, also an off-the-track Thor-

oughbred. Grants from Brennan Equine Welfare Fund are

used to serve equine rescue shelters across the country that

provide dignity to final years of aged, injured, abused,

starved and slaughter-bound horses, as well as those used in

medical experimentation. Brennan Equine Welfare Fund sup-

ports registered, 501(c)(3) organizations that specialize in

retirement and rehabilitation services and offer a peaceful and

permanent sanctuary for these beautiful animals. Shelters that

offer carefully scrutinized adoption or re-placement services

are also supported.

If you would like to honor a special person or equine that has

touched your life, or are interested in year-end giving ideas, a

charitable donation to Brennan Equine Welfare Fund would

be honored. You can be assured that any gift you make will

help provide grant funding for special equines in need just

like Lit for years to come. Any contribution to Brennan Eq-

uine Welfare Fund is tax deductible.

Linda will be personally offering a $5,000 (five-thousand

dollar) matching gift through December 31, 2012. Your do-

nation will have double the power to offer a second chance to

equines in need as all personal donations will be matched

dollar-to-dollar until $5,000. is realized. All Checks may be

made out to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (make sure to

write ―Brennan Equine Welfare Fund‖ on the memo line) and

mailed to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, 200 W. 4th

...THEN AND NOW

From the Indian Hill Historical Society Buckingham Lodge 1861

PIONEER SPRINGHOUSE ON SHAWNEE RUN ROAD

A small gabled outbuilding located at a private residence on Shawnee Run Road is one of Indian Hill’s oldest

structures still in its original setting. The Thomas Boone springhouse was constructed circa 1799 by one of the earliest

pioneers in the Ohio Country.

Thomas Boone and his wife Mary emigrated from Pennsylvania in

1785, traveling by flatboat on the Ohio River to present day Maysville, Ken-

tucky. There they lived for five years before moving downriver to Cincin-

nati. Tom Boone yearned for more wilderness and purchased a tract of land

on what is now Shawnee Run Road. The family moved from the comforts

of Cincinnati to the remote hill, where they constructed a house (since razed)

and a springhouse. Legend has it that Daniel Boone of Kentucky fame was

a frequent visitor to his cousin’s home on Indian Hill.

Springhouses were necessary buildings in the eighteenth and nine-

teenth centuries. One of many secondary buildings to a house, springhouses

protected the source of water and provided a place to store perishables.

When early settlers arrived at their newly acquired land, one of their top pri-

orities was locating a spring. This would be their primary source of water.

Often they enlarged its basin, deepened it, or lined it with rock, allowing a

pool to be formed from which water could be dipped by bucket. Frequently

these natural springs were located at the base of a slope, where runoff occurred.

To keep their water source clean and free of leaves, pebbles, and debris, and

also to conceal it from wild animals, settlers built springhouses above the

spring itself.

Springhouses served as the refrigerators of yesteryear, keeping settler’s

food from spoiling. Dairy products which needed cool temperatures were kept

in springhouses. Also dried, salted, or smoked meats and canned vegetables

and fruits were commonly stored in these structures. Usually there were

shelves along the walls of these outbuildings.

The Boone

springhouse is quaint-

ly nestled amongst

shade trees and

shrubs, with ivy grow-

ing up its primitive

fieldstone exterior. A

small window provides air circulation in the one room. Access

is available through a lower level door, or up a few steps to the

main entry. The structure is banked into the hillside, and sever-

al aspects of the building’s design contribute to keeping it cool:

a wide roof overhang, thick rock walls, and only one tiny win-

dow.

The symmetry and simple integrity of the Boone

springhouse provide clues to the lifestyle of pioneer families. It

is a picturesque part of Indian Hill’s architectural heritage.

On a beautiful fall afternoon, the Indian Hill Histori-

cal Society took a field trip to the Cincinnati Art Club in

Mount Adams. A presentation of the rich history of this

organization founded in 1890 was given by CAC Histo-

rian David Klocke. A dog was named as one of the 14

founders because only 13 men were on the original list

and the group was superstitious. Famous painters Frank

Duveneck, Joseph Sharp, and Henry Farny were among

the many artists who have drawn inspiration and support

from this creative group.

In addition, we

were able to view

exquisite paintings

on display from the

vault. These rare

paintings are not

on normally on

display due to their

age. Judith Affata-

to, program chairperson and CAC member coordinated

this unique opportunity for the Indian Hill Historical

Society.

After arriving back at the Little Red Schoolhouse, a

lavish hors d’oeuvres and wine buffet was served. Food

chairperson Peg Gillespie and wine expert Ed Jacobs put

together a delicious menu.
