BULLETIN INSERTS
Bulletin inserts are only for village-associated organizations such as churches, scouts, schools, clubs,
committees, Historical Society, and Greenacres. They are not for personal or business advertising. Because
the printer has to collate all the flyers and insert them by hand, they must be printed on 20 lb paper. Please
send no more than one insert per publication. Also, consider putting in an ad instead of an insert. We can
do a page or 1⁄2-page ad. The deadline for getting a flyer in the Bulletin is the same as the deadline for
articles. For more information, call Joyce Holder at the Village office at 561-6500 or email jholder@ihill.org.
Ranger Chat: An Important Reminder For Joggers
The Rangers have received continued complaints and concerns from motorists regarding joggers in the early
morning and evening hours. The Rangers would like to remind all joggers of a City ordinance requiring the
wearing of reflectorized materials. The time frame required is one half hour before sunset and ending one half-
hour after sunrise. The reflectorized material should be on the front or back of a garment and be of such size and
characteristic as to be visible from all distances within three hundred (300) feet. Violation of this ordinance could
result in a court appearance and up to a $100 fine.
Use of a flashing strobe light attached to reflective clothing is encouraged as an added protective measure.
The Rangers would also remind motorists to be aware of the heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic, especially in
the early morning hours and at dusk. Motorists are also asked to use caution when using cellular phones while
driving, as the slightest distraction may lead to an auto accident or a pedestrian being struck. Keeping these tips
in mind will keep everyone safe on our roads.

TORNADO SAFETY
The Rangers would like to
remind everyone that tornado and
severe thunderstorm season is upon
usonceagain. Shouldseverestorms
arise it is imperative that quick
action be taken to ensure the safety
of all. Please read and become
familiar with these safety tips as
well as local shelter locations. The
following is a list of shelter areas
available during times of disaster.

Tornadoes are responsible for
many hundreds of injuries and
deaths each year. While no one is
completely safe from these storms,
immediate action can save lives.
Shouldstormyweatherarise,tunein
to a local radio or television station
for weather information. Many
radios are equipped for broadcasts
from the NationalWeather Service,
which will provide current weather
conditions for the area.
If severe weather is forecasted,
take shelter immediately. If you are
at home, go the basement and get
under a sturdy table or workbench.
If your home has no basement,
•

go to the center of the house to an
inner room or closet. Stay away
from windows as they can easily
be blown out by the storm. If in
a public area such as a shopping
center or business center, locate the
predesignated shelter area. If none
is available, a room or hallway in the
center of the building, away from
windows, is the next best area. If
you are in your vehicle and unable
to move to a building quickly, then
leave the vehicle and move to a
low-lying ditch or culvert nearby.
Please become familiar with
the terms tornado watch and
tornado warning. A tornado watch
is broadcast when the weather
conditions are favorable for a
tornado to form. Atornado warning
isbroadcastwhenatornadohasbeen
sighted in the area. Tornadoes can
develop very quickly and will move
unpredictably, so quick action is
essential. Take the time to discuss a
disasterplanwithchildrenandmake
them aware of what to do if they are
home alone. A few items that will
be invaluable during an emergency
are a radio, flashlight, candles, first-
aid kit, and extra batteries. Put all
these items in one place so they can
easily be carried to a shelter area.
If you have any questions please
contact the Rangers at 561-7000.

The Mammoths of Ice Age Camp Dennison
            Camp Dennison’s Grand Valley was owned by the Ohio Gravel Company prior to its sale to the
Village of Indian Hill. While excavating gravel, “a prize fossil, an intact mammoth tusk ten feet long was
unearthed at a depth of 25 feet” and was donated to the Cincinnati Natural History Museum in the mid 1900s.
These extinct animals were dinosaurs of the Pleistocene Epoch – the Ice Age. There were
many types of mammoths, and each adapted to its era and terrain. All were related to elephants of
today. The first mammoths originated in Africa 4-5 million years ago. Their descendants moved
to Europe and Asia, and over centuries, their offspring crossed the Bering Strait and entered North
America 4 – 5 million years ago. Remains of the Columbian Mammoth and the Woolly Mammoth
have been found in the continental U.S. Current knowledge of these creatures is based on fossil
records, preserved frozen carcasses, historic cave drawings, and knowledge of modern day elephants.
Adult mammoths grew to a maximum height of 13 feet and weighed about 9 -10 tons. A large hump on their
shoulders and backs served as a storage area. It increased in size during warm seasons when food was readily
available, and was depleted during the winter months. The mammoth’s long flexible trunk was used to grasp
food, access water, and to stroke family members. These creatures had small ears and large wide feet, which
acted as enormous snowshoes supporting the mammoth’s weight and had rough soles for gripping slippery ice.
            The woolly mammoth’s outer coat was furry, and up to 3 feet long. The next layer was of dense thinner hair
for insulation – then a 1 inch layer of skin and 4 inches of fat – all helping to withstand cold weather. The Columbian
Mammoth was not as woolly; its hide probably resembled the African Elephant. Adult mammoths had only 4 teeth – 2
upper 2 lower which were ridged to increase the chewing surface of these plant eaters. Mammoths grew 6 sets of teeth in
their lifetime; and when the last set of molars wore out, the animal could no longer chew and eventually starved to death.
            Mammoths had 2 ivory colored curved tusks – elongated upper incisor teeth growing from the jawbone – typically
10 feet or longer. Tusks grew about 6 inches per year throughout a life span of 60-80 years, with male tusks being longer than
thoseofthefemale. Tuskswereusedasshovelstosweepasidesnowwhileforagingforfood,andasweaponsagainstpredators.
            Mammoths were social animals living in herds dominated by females. They consumed 300–
700 pounds of vegetation each day, including sedges, willows, water-rooted plants, and flowers. During
theIceAge,glaciersperiodicallyadvancedandretreatedonNorthAmerica. TheWoollyMammothlived
onArcticsteppesandtheColumbianMammothinlowlatitudetemperategrasslandsofcurrentdayU.S.
            Ancient humans interacted with mammoths. Prehistoric artists in France and
Spain painted images of mammoths in caves about 20,000 B.C., drawing them in hunt
scenes with great accuracy. Mammoth bones were used to build huts and make tools, and
their meat was a source of protein. In some places, human burial sites were covered with
their giant bones. Mammoth tusks (sometimes engraved) were made into jewelry, harpoons, needles, combs,
and figurines. By 9000 B.C. mammoths had started to die out, and by 2000 B.C. the species was extinct. There are
several theories about why they vanished. Over-hunting by man, a climate change resulting in different/less plant
material for sustenance, or a plague type disease have been mentioned as possible causes. No one knows for sure.
            Glenn Storrs, PhD., curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Cincinnati Museum Center, recently displayed partial
remains of mammoths (pictured here), and stated, “We can document the presence of ammoths in the Camp Dennison
area according to these specimens.” These behemoth mammals which grazed in nearby Grand Valley thousands of years
ago are worth remembering while gazing over the serene lake there now.

THE INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Plan to be Prepared in 2006
Welcome to 2006...a year that will present both
new and old challenges for public health agencies
across America. At the Hamilton County General Health
District, we are working hard to ensure we are prepared
to handle emergency situations that might arise from
natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics.
While governments and public health agencies
at all levels are hard at work, your family
should be too. There are things you can do - as
a friend, family member and citizen - to prepare
yourself and your loved ones for emergencies.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) recommends several basic steps for every
family that will help prepare them for both natural and
manmade disasters, including assembling a supply
kit and developing a family communications plan.
1. Compile an Emergency Supply Kit - DHS advices
citizens to be prepared to be on our own for at least
three days following an emergency situation. Preparing
a kit that can provide essentials such as food, water
and clean air will help you through this time until
help arrives.
2. Make a Plan - Depending on the circumstances
following an emergency, your family may need to
decide whether to stay or go. Develop plans for
how your family will shelter-in-place or evacuate
to a safer area. You should also develop a family
communications plan to ensure your family can stay
in touch during a variety of emergency situations.
3. Information is the Best Form of Preparation - It
is unreasonable to think that families can develop
emergency plans for every possible scenario. But
doing a little research and understanding the potential
threats we face - natural, chemical, biological, nuclear
and radiation - can help you better understand what
should be done when a situation arises.
There are a number of resources available to help
families become better prepared to face these situations.
DHS has created a Web site specifically aimed at
helping Americans prepare for threats on a family
level. Ready America, www.ready.gov, contains a
wealth of information to help you complete the steps
outlined above. I encourage you to sit down with your
family, visit this site and begin to make plans that
will help ensure your safety during an emergency.
A Reminder from the
Public Works Department
I had the pleasure of speaking with a resident
recently regarding a complaint she wished to bring to
my attention. While it might seem unusual to equate a
pleasant conversation with a complaint, this resident
was not necessarily upset with the members of the
Public Works Department. Her concerns were about
finding remnants of her neighbor’s trash strewn along
the roadside and she wanted to know if there was a
rule in place requiring residents to bag their trash. I
informed her that while there was no rule, in the past
we had made efforts through education and awareness
to convince residents to bag their trash and had
seen a measurable improvement, but unfortunately
we’re not receiving the total compliance hoped for.
We offered to have someone return to
pickup the trash in question but her response
was that it wasn’t our fault and she would
take care of it herself while on her daily walk.
She also commented that she was fully aware that
the unique method of service provided by the Public
Works Department made it virtually impossible
for Waste Collection Personnel to travel in and
out of hundreds of driveways and across miles of
roadway each day without loose trash flying out of
their vehicles. She fully appreciated the efforts put
forth by our Department to control the problem,
but ultimately felt that the only true solution
could come from the homeowners of Indian Hill.
In concluding our conversation, I agreed to
share both our concerns in the form of yet another
article for the Village bulletin. She believes as
do I; that this problem is merely an oversight. A
little reminder should be all that’s needed. Surely
a community dedicated to preserving its natural
beauty would have residents willing to make
this small commitment to help in our efforts to
control or eliminate the unsightly problem of litter.
So as promised, we are once again reminding the
people of Indian Hill to bag their trash before placing
it out for disposal. This time the benefits are twofold,
not only will you be protecting the appearance of the
community, it makes your neighbors happy as well.
Thanks in advance for your support and cooperation.

(continued on page 8)

From time to time during 2006, the Health District
will share information like this with you so that you and
your family can be better prepared to face many types of
emergency situations. You will also hear about how you
can become more involved in your community’s efforts to
prepare for emergency situations. I hope you will find this
information useful and that you will diligently take up the
effort to be prepared in 2006. Please contact the Health
District at (513) 946-7800 or www.hamiltoncountvhealth.

Meet the Public Works Department
Over the next several issues of the Village Bulletin, the
Public Works Department will be including photos of our
personnel and the equipment they use, based on their areas of
expertise. We thought this would be a great way to introduce
our staff and allow Village residents an insight into some of
the responsibilities handled each day by our departments.


CCDS Student

Day School junior, began riding at age eight. For the past three years, she has
competed at regional and national horse shows across the eastern U.S., with
increasing success. “I want to develop my skills as much as possible and I would love to compete internationally
for the U.S. in the future,” said Euri. “Pharrell is a great horse and my goal for 2006 is to compete with him in
shows of the highest ranking.”
Successor to the Association of American Horse Shows originally formed in 1917, the U.S. Equestrian
Federation provides leadership for equestrian sport in the United States of America, promoting the pursuit of
excellence from the grass roots to the Olympic Games, based on a foundation of fair, safe competition and the
welfare of its human and equine athletes. The USEF has been designated the National Governing Body for
equestrian sport by the U.S. Olympic Committee.

A Word from a Girl Scout Volunteer
I have been involved with Girl Scouts
for several years as the mother of 3 school
age daughters. From cookie manager
to treasurer to leader, I have dealt with
several troops at different age levels.
Girl Scouting to me is an institution that
strives to make our girls the best they
can possibly be despiteall of the negative
influences in current day life. We aim to
grow caring, competent, confident adults
who are well rounded and able.
Girl Scouts offers a variety of programs
and opportunities for girls age five years-
adult.
I cannot think of a more worthy
organization to devote my time as well
as my financial support to.
For more information about Girl Scouts,
please call 489-1025 or visit online at

Camp Dennison Field adapted for
Recreation Commission Use
By Noah Fleischmann
Many residents have noticed the recent change
in appearance of one of the fields located near
the intersection of Kugler Mill Road and State
Route 126. The Village Council authorized the
installation of soccer fields and a parking area to
accommodate the needs of the Indian Hill Recreation
Commission’s growing number of athletic programs.
This approval came after consultation with the
Village’s Green Areas Advisory Committee (GAAC).
The GAAC oversees all properties owned by
the Green Areas Trust. While many properties have
been donated, the village has purchased some Trust
properties for use as recreation, parks and green
space. The field in question (18.2 acres) is one such
property and is not actually located in the Village,
but in neighboring Symmes Township. Originally
farmland, it was later used for the training of Union
soldiers during the Civil War. Much later, in the
mid 1900’s when zoning was established, the field
was deemed suitable for commercial or industrial
purposes. Fortunately, the Village had an opportunity
to purchase the property in 1967. Soon thereafter
the field came became part of the Green Areas Trust.
In 2005, the Recreation Commission asked the
GAAC to consider allowing for the development of
soccer fields. The GAAC agreed with the following
restrictions: that the slight change in topography and
grade would in no way inhibit the use of the field for
the annual Point-to-Point equestrian event, and that no
permanent structures of any kind be built on the field.
This latter point did not include the parking area that had
tobeblacktoppedaccordingtoSymmesTownshipcodes.
It is important to understand that the Village
purchased this particular Green Areas property and
as long as it remains open green space, it can be used
for recreation purposes. Unlike other Green Areas
properties that cannot be developed or altered in any
significant way, the field in question was available for
use by the Recreation Commission and as such falls
within the established Green Areas Trust guidelines.
Indian Hill School District to Change
Kindergarten to an Extended Day Program for
2006-2007
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District
will change their current half day kindergarten program
to an extended day program for the 2006 – 2007 school
year. The hours of the new extended day program
will be from 8:35 AM to 1:30 PM. Primary School
principal, Mrs. Sandy Harte, has chaired a committee
of teachers and parents who have studied current best
kindergarten practices in the region and nation. The
study group was formed to help determine whether
changes needed to be made in the Indian Hill program
to provide the most effective and developmentally
appropriate kindergarten experience for students.
After a thorough review of the literature and current
research on various kindergarten program options,
contact with other districts and school personnel, and
parent surveys, the committee determined that a longer
kindergarten day would be advantageous for multiple
reasons and made that recommendation to Dr. Jane R.
Knudson, Superintendent of the Indian Hill School
District.
“The extended day will give children more time
to increase the depth of thinking and exploration
of learning experiences; increase social and peer
engagement and build students’ cooperative skills;
increase students’ opportunities for self-directed
learning and provide more time for developmentally
appropriate imaginative, creative thinking and
expression,” according to Mrs. Harte. “A program that
stretches the kindergarten day but is less than a full
Primary School day was believed to be the most child-
centered option,” added Mrs. Harte.
After careful analysis of projected costs, the
development of a plan to accommodate fluctuating
(continued on page 12)

enrollments,andreviewoftheimpactthischangewould
have on other District programs, the recommendation
to proceed with an extended day KG program was
approved unanimously by the Board of Education at a
special Board meeting on February 4, 2006.
Unlike other districts that may charge tuition for
all day KG, Indian Hill will not charge tuition for the
extended KG day program.
Indian Hill School District to Conduct
Comprehensive Satisfaction Survey
In a couple of weeks, the Indian Hill School District
will once again conduct a comprehensive satisfaction
survey, CSMpact for Schools. Indian Hill has used
this survey every two years since 1996 in order to
assess student, staff, and parent satisfaction with our
schools.
School Focus Groups, Instructional Teams, and
district leaders have used the results to identify
strengths and opportunities for improvement. In
the past, the results have helped guide curriculum
improvements,programstodevelopstudentleadership,
and approaches to faculty involvement in decision
making. The survey is a key tool for district planning.
The participation of our parents is vital to the
process. A high response rate from parents will add
validity to the results and give us confidence that
our assumptions reflect your perspective. You can
expect the survey in the mail around February 25. It
takes about 30 minutes to complete the survey, and a
business reply envelope will be provided. We would
appreciate your participation in this important effort.
Tut Tut Looks Like FUN!
Cincinnati, OH – The first grade classes at St. Gertrude
held a rather unusual birthday party – one that was
attended by bears, kangaroos, tigers, owls, and pigs.
Rather than a salute to wildlife, this fiesta was a tribute
to A. A. Milne –the man who created such childhood
favorites as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Roo,
and Piglet.
On “Pooh day” which has become an annual tradition,
students are encouraged to bring in their favorite
Milne-inspired stuffed animals, books, journals and
more. “Everyone loves a good birthday party” says
teacher Jan Enia. “In addition to the traditional games
like pin the tail on Eeyore, we have students read
their favorite Pooh books aloud. We make it a game
by having the whole class listen for and write down
which of our spelling words are used.” When asked
about the activities, students responded (in true Tigger
fashion) that they had F – U – Double N, FUNN!

ROWE ARBORETUM NEWS AND PLANTING TIP
Start your gardening year off right by attending our annual plant sale. Elsewhere in this bulletin, you will
find a flyer on the upcoming sale at the arboretum on April 29. Please look it over, mark your calendar, and plan
to attend. We hope to see you there.
Membership renewals have been mailed out and quite a few generous returns have been received. We
thank you for your support of the arboretum. If you have not received your invitation to renew your membership
or you would like to receive information about becoming a member, please contact the arboretum at 561-5151
or at rowearb@ihill.org. We’ll be glad to send you an information packet. Garden Hint: For those who are
planning to plant new trees and shrubs this year, we are sure you want the project done correctly. Here’s the
recommended procedure to ensure good plant health.
The planting hole needs to be 2 to 3 times as wide as the root ball or root mass. It only needs to be as
deep as the new plant’s root zone and be bowl shaped. For container grown specimens it is recommended you
“tickle” the roots to loosen up any circling roots and direct them outward while backfilling. For plants with
burlap and baskets, the planting hole gives you enough room to cut away the wire basket and burlap, no matter
what kind it is. Research has proven that neither material rots away and has been shown to girdle roots and kill
the plant. On larger and heavier plants, or those with root balls that seem to have loose soil, it is permissible to
leave the portion of the basket and burlap that is on the bottom. Plant roots grow horizontally, not downward
and this is ok.
Another note for trees and shrubs, which appear to have no trunk flare, the tapered region where the
trunk meets the roots: this needs to be found before planting. If you anticipate or determine that the trunk flare
is buried in the root ball, you can dig your hole shallower and uncover the flare before backfilling your hole. It
is common to find balled and burlapped plants from nurseries that use tilling practices for weed control to have
soil against their trunks. This has to be removed before the soil organisms attack the trunk and damage or kill
the plant.
Last but not least, since you have given the plant good loose soil to which it can easily establish itself,
mulch it correctly. Two to three inches deep is all you need and never put any against the trunk. The same
organisms in the soil which break down organic matter can harm the naturally protective bark and open up the
plant to all sorts of problems even death. In coming years do not allow anyone to put mulch mounds around
your plants. Enjoy your trees and shrubs for many years to come, and relax by knowing you aren’t a victim of
the “Toilet Plunger Effect”.

CCDS Students
Pioneer Innovative New Program
A group of Cincinnati Country Day Middle School
students recently had the opportunity to take a field
trip to Proctor and Gamble as part of a new Middle
School class, “Introduction to Finance.” This new
innovative and unique class is taught by Hyde Park
resident, Kenneth Gillette, a CFM, Vice President, and
Wealth Management Advisor for Merrill Lynch. The
field trip was arranged by CCDS parent and Proctor and
Gamble Vice President, Jane Wildman (45243). The
students learned a great deal about P&G history and the
many factors, which have contributed to the growth of
P&G. They began with a tour of historical and product
displays in the lobby area (in-between the two tower
buildings), visited the office of archives, and finished
the tour in The Pepper Learning Center. At each step of
the tour, they were treated to a different presentation by
a member of the P&G team.
The “Introduction to Finance” class and the trip
to Proctor and Gamble is all part of a community
outreach/business program called “Investing Pays
Off” that is offered to students at Cincinnati Country
Day School through Merrill Lynch and Mr. Gillette.
This program provides an excellent foundation for
becoming responsible, financially adept future leaders.
The program provides three levels of education geared
to ages 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18. These levels share four
common themes: financial planning, risk reward, jobs
and career, and leadership.
This program through Merrill Lynch was reviewed
by a list of Who’s Who in the investment world and
involves a curriculum that lasts for a semester. Mr.
GilletteisteachingasecondsemesteratCCDS. Students
are provided lectures from business people from the
greater Cincinnati area and field trips to relevant sites
such as: Merrill Lynch and Procter and Gamble. A trip
to Wall Street and the NY Stock Exchange is in the
planning stages.

Indian Hill Hosts American Cancer Society Relay For Life
Fun, food and survivorship!
Sneakers, sleeping bags, and cancer education? It must be the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, an 18-
hour event to celebrate survivorship and raise funds for cancer research, education, advocacy, and services. The
Relay for Life brings together teams from local businesses, schools, churches and families for camaraderie, food,
music, and entertainment, and a night under the stars – all while team members take turns walking or running on
a track.
Relay for Life begins with a Cancer Survivors Walk and reception to celebrate life. Later in the evening, a
Luminaria Ceremony honors those who are battling cancer and remembers those who have lost their fight.
“Relay for Life brings communities together,” said Relay Co-Chair Erin DeBow. “We honor each person who
has been touched by this disease while raising money for much needed cancer awareness and prevention. In our
community, our goal is to raise 50,000 for the American Cancer Society. We’re grateful to the people and the
businesses helping us to achieve that goal.”
Sponsors of the event include: Proscan Imaging, The Carl Lindner Family, Marx Bagels, Ryder, Asics
Sportswear, Perfect North Slopes, Xavier Athletics, The Cincinnati Zoo, and Graeter’s.
The American Cancer Society is the leading nationwide community-based voluntary health organization
dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing
suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service. For information about Relay for Life,
call Brittany at the American Cancer Society at 587-2127 or visit our website at
www.acsevents.org/relay/oh/montgomeryindianhill
Relay for Life will be held at Cincinnati Country Day School starting at 6:00pm on May 12 and ending at
12:00pm on May 13.

HARD WATER, SOFT WATER
The Indian Hill Water Works
receives several calls every year
concerning water quality. Many of the
calls go something like this: “We’re
new to Indian Hill. Should we soften
our water?” And the answer may
resemble this: “Some people do. Some
people don’t.” In actuality, that’s the
truth.
The Water Works draws its water
from wells along the Little Miami
River basin. The water is naturally
hard, containing approximately 280
parts per million of calcium carbonate,
the mineral compound that causes most
of our hardness. Calcium carbonate is
not generally considered unsafe to the
human body, but it does cause you
to use more laundry and dishwashing
detergent and can make your skin feel
dry and itchy following your shower.
Calcium carbonate can shorten the life
of a water heater. Calcium carbonate
also leaves “floaters” in your ice water
when the ice cubes melt, and can leave a
white residue in your pan after you boil
water. Andperhapsthebiggestnegative
about hard water is that it leaves a
stubborn scale on fixtures, sinks, and
tubs. Again, calcium carbonate is not
typically harmful to you, but it can be
somewhat of a nuisance.
The Water Works does soften
the water, although not totally. The
treatment plant removes about half
of the hardness, lowering the calcium
carbonate to an average level of 120
parts per million to 140 parts per
million, or in other terms, 7 to 8 grains
per gallon. Softening the water to zero
hardness would be very expensive and
would be corrosive to the iron pipes in
the distribution system.
Some (roughly half) of our
customers choose to soften the water
even further with softening units
within their own homes. Most of these
units use the same treatment process
that is employed at the treatment plant
– replacing the calcium with sodium.
Water with all of the hardness removed
will not adversely affect copper
plumbing the way it does iron pipe.
Softer water tends to feel smoother
to the skin, and lessens the demand
for detergent. However, most people
will agree that soft water containing
the additional sodium does not taste as
good as harder water.
And so, the bottom line – whether or
not you need a water softener – comes
down to personal preference. If you
are new to the area, you may want to
“try out” the water for a while before
purchasing a softener. Or, if you are
moving from an area with extremely
soft water, Indian Hill water may
seem hard by comparison. The Water
Works does suggest to those installing
softeners that you may want to by-
pass the softener with a separate line
for drinking and cooking. You will
probably want to by-pass the softener
for your outside irrigation lines as
well. The softened water is not as
good for your plants, and you’ll save
the expense of softening water that will
be applied outside.
If you have any additional questions
aboutsoftenersorwaterquality,contact
Jim Fox, Water Works Superintendent,
at 576-8460.

“At the end of the day there’s another show over”.
With the production of Les Misérables and a performance like none other, Indian Hill High School took Pow
Wow to Broadway. With an all-star cast, including Nate Burger as the infamous Jean Valjean and Derek Mueller
as the powerful Javert, Les Misérables brought everyone to tears. Songs such as “At the End of the Day”, “I
Dreamed a Dream”, and “Master of the House” alternately lifted the spirit and wrenched the heart. Fantine’s
(Leah Fuggetta) sacrifices as a mother, Madame Thenardier’s (Kate Alexander) shrewdness, Eponine’s (Mallory
Sherwood) courage, and Cosette’s (Abby Ottenjohn) love rendered all faces of women. Supported by Master
Thenardier (James Lin) as the comic villain, Enjolras (Mitch Better) as the revolutionary leader, and Marius as
Cosette’s true love, the drama “dreamed a dream”.
No one expected Pow Wow to tackle a show like Les Misérables with its intricate musical score and elaborate
rhythms. Nevertheless, the cast, crew, and director Alicia Palmer dedicated themselves to the story of Jean
Valjean and these French Revolutionaries. They spent hours upon hours at rehearsal and worked overtime on
the unbelievable set and costumes. That kind of enthusiasm caused Les Misérables to soar above and beyond all
audiences’ expectations.
While awaiting any of the rehearsals or performances, audiences murmured, chatted, and giggled in the typical
fashion. Once the orchestra began with the first majestic measures of music, immediate silence fell. All who
watched were mesmerized.
“These aren’t high school kids. They aren’t professional actors either. They are their characters,” observed one
parent volunteer.
