LAND ANNEXATION REQUESTED
Mariemont Council has been adv ised of a pet it ion to anne x 21.647 acres of lan d owne d by Char les Hawk and The Modern Rea l Estate Sales Co , who plan t o bui l d apartments or condominiums ther e Th e land , now in Co lumbia Townsh ip, is pr esently zoned light industrial.
The par cel of land incl udes the old Gla ci er Springs pro pe rt y and the Mariemont powe r plant. The Ham ilton County Comm issioners reviewed the petit io n on Aug 17 an d agreed to the change . There is a wa iting per iod of six weeks to giv e citizens the opportunity to expre ss t heir opinio ns to their Council rep rese ntat iv es .

flowers with a Flair
All florists are alike in on e aspect ; their business is sell ing flowers However , the quality and personal attention given to each order makes each florist unique . The Art Flower Shoppe , locat ed at 6880 Wooster Pike in the Mariemont Inn , is under new management and strives to take an interest in each customer Since the shop i s small and intimate, special care can be given to each and every order
The owner , David Bauer, worked at the shop two years before he purchased it a year ago. He graduated from Thomas More College in Kentucky , and has been an area resid ent for four years. He feels the location of the shop and a sincere interest in the cus tomers are his main assets. He personally ch ecks every order before it is del ivered, and has not had a complaint since he purchased the shop In the future , David would like to go into homes to help the customer determ ine his interior decorating needs in terms of plants and flowers He also hopes to own a second shop someday
The Art Flower Sho ppe su ppl ies floral designs to all types of functions. In plan ning we dd ings and rehears al dinners, David caters to th e bride 's floral preference and on de velop in g belts th at would res ist decay or dec line.
works well within her budget. For one rehearsal dinner David is planning now , the centerpiece calls for black-eyed susan Since none of his wholesalers have this flower , David is pe rsonally going out in the country to pick the flowers for the arrangement. He also attends shows and seminars for ideas in floral arranging He has several books within the shop to help the customers pick the arrangement that best suits their needs
The shop always has flowers on hand for those who need them immediately. It belongs to Florafax and so delivers flowers all over the country. The shop carries beautiful ceramic pots, and David makes up all of his own planters. He also enjoys having customers bring 1n their own containers to be planted. In add ition to live arrangements, the shop creates dried and silk centerpieces . They handle hanging plants and terrariums. David also stocks extremely unusual plants that are absolu tely beautiful.
David employs two Mariemo nt residents . Lyn Wheeler works with in the shop and Jeff Palmquist delivers the flowers I found the shop extreme ly fri endly and it was obvious that a great deal of int erest is placed in each order. I was so impressed , in fact , th at I am having Art Flower Shoppe do the flowers for my wedd ing

It is obvious that in any question of annexation there are many factors to be considered and al l of them are important and often quite complex
The Art Flower Shoppe offers originality and a sincere interest in each customer Their prices are reasonable and the flowers are of the highest quality You can be sure your order will be given special attention , and the live flowers will last a long time In my estimation , that kind of guarantee is hard to find today Debbi Elliott

Martha Rlberos Retu r ns
Jean and Jim Baird were delighted to welcome their AFS daughter, Martha Riberos, back to Mariemont . Martha had not returned to this country since attending Mariemont High School for the '7 3-'7 4 school year. She has been pursuing her studies in Bucaramanga, a fairly large Colombian city
Upon arrival here in 1973, Martha spoke only a few words of English . However, it didn 't take long for Martha to understand and communicate in the language of her new American family. She now speaks English beautifully and has taught Engl i sh to Colomb i an school children. She also belongs to an English Club at home where students work together to maintain their fluency and discuss current affairs
When asked about her first impressions , Martha remembers her initial anticipation and intense curiosity about all facets of li fe here She and the Bairds developed an im mediate closeness which provided a firm base of secur it y in a new country. Ma rth a describes her year here as "th e best experien ce of my life " Mariemont seems the same to her as it appeared the n. She was eager to hear news of her former classmates several of whom have married and moved away
Martha has five more years of school and is attending college in Colombia in the field of business
administration. The Colombian program is structured so that the students have two "industry semesters " along with their purely academic semesters. A student works in a job (similar to our co-op program) during these two semesters to develop practical abilities in a chosen field . Since this work can be done in a foreign country, Martha ' s love of travel and meeting new people have her hoping to do her industry semester in this way
The Bairds , along with their three daughters and son-in -law , visited the Riberos family in Colombia at Christmastime , 1975 Martha is the eldest of seven children , five girls and two boys This was an extremely memorable and unusual Christmas in a land of warmth and sunshine with poinsettias growing wild After meeting Martha 's family at that time , the Bairds were especially eager this summer to hear Martha ' s news of her home
Perhaps the most excit ing time of Martha's summer visit here came in welcoming her eighteenyear-old sister Glor ia to Mariemont on August 11. Glor ia Riberos will be attending M.H.S. this year and staying with the Bairds Gloria is being sponsored by the Mariemont Kiwanis Club . Since Susan and Nancy Baird are both away at college now , the Bairds are looking forward to having a high school student at home with them again.
Many of Martha's friends have been glad to renew their acquaintance this summer and are looking forward to meeting Gloria this fall. The Town Crier would like to welcome Gloria to Mariemont and wish her a very happy and successful stay here
