What is all the talk about an environmental impact statement for the Little Mia mi Scenic Rai lroad? In fa ct , what is an environmenta l impact statement ? What does the scenic ra ilro ad have to do wi th Mar iemont and the re loca tion of U S 50?
Env ir onmental Imp a ct Statements (EIS ) are designed to protect our society by giv in g us the opport unity to co nsider the far -r eaching effects of projects for which funding has been requested and awarded. An environmental im pact assessment is routin ely required as part of project documentation whenever Federal funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund is requested for the acquisition and deve lo pment of recreation lands and fac il it ies. In the event adverse en vironmental im pacts appear evident , an environ mental impact statement is requ ir ed Mariemont Council, Mariemont Cit iz ens Committee for the Relocation of U S 50 , and the Village of Newtown have requested an E.I.S on the Little Miami Scenic Railroad. Oescr ipti on of the project which is being co nsid ered for $3 million federal dollars reads: "The Ohio Department of Natural Resources proposes to acquire 250 parcels
of land totaling appro ximate ly 612 ac res comprisin g la nd s of the Lit tl e Miam i Ra ilroad including the right-of-way from Mar ie mont to Spri ng Valle y, a distance of 52 .2 miles The acqu isi tio n wi ll be developed for hiking and biking tra il s. A study will deter min e th e insta ll ation of a sceni c rail way on th e pro ject area. "
Some area s of con cern whi ch prompted Mariemont's re ques t f or an EIS are :
1. What effect woul d this project have on existing and proposed transportation f acil ities ? Would a Section 4(f ) Statement ( 1966 Dept. of Transportation Act ) and Section 6(f ) (La nd and Wate r Conservation Fund Act ) be required ? In layman ' s terms , a Section 4(f ) means do cumentat ion to the Dept. of th e Inter ior that there is no prudent alternative ; Section 6(f) involve s an exc hange of land if any park la nd is taken fo r another purpo se su ch as a highway This would create considerable delay on proposed relocations or even mai ntenance to ex isti ng projects.
For example , the Ohio Dept of Transpor t at i on i s present ly prop osing to replace a br idg e in Morrow , which requires minor work around the raiiroad line If Cont'd. on Page 2.

f ede ral fun ds shou ld be used fo r t he sce nic ra il road and relat ed deve lop ment s, t his wo uld delay repl ac ement by at leas t t wo years
Donald Olson , Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources , is quoted in ~-he Cincinnat i Post as saying , We recog ni ze the fact that relocation of U S 50 could invol ve about two miles of the railroad on t he southern en d, and we wou ld not utilize our acq uis it ion of railroad right -of -way " Howeve r, conversion of that port ion of the Li ttle Miami Railroad would requ ire a 6(f ) proce dure
A similar situat ion was created when _ the Ham ilton County Park D1str1ct purchased t he Litt l e Miami Golf Ce nt er and receiv ed match ing f ede ral fun ds That purchase create d a conflict with t he jo urnaliz ed ali gnment for th e reloc ati on of U S 50, virtu ally pr e cludin g that r o ute A Ne wsl ett er from Littl e Miami , Inc ., Sept , 1975 , included an arti cl e entitl ed, "Lit tle Miami River Win s One Golf Course, Relocated U S. 50 Loses One Rout e."
It would app ear that if these purch as es continue , there will be no place economically and geo grap hically to put a high way Th e river corridor may become so " loc ke d up " that the only choice s left for a new highway are through In dian Hill , Newtown , Anderson Township or widening ex isting 50 throu gh Mariemont. As far as peopl e and communities are concerned, the logical pl ace for the highway would be along the ri ver so that with landscaping it could not be seen by anyone in the river.
2. How much traffic will be generated by the scenic railro ad and related developments ? Whi le th e sc enic railroad , per se , ini tiall y be ginning 1n Morrow , might not gener at e a subst anti al amount of traffic th rough Ma riemont , oth er pl ans suc h as hikin g and biking tr ails along the so uthe rn port ion wi ll bring t raffi c to U S. 50 Ob ·
vious ly use rs of t he recreat iona l fac il it ies will dr ive to reach the place t o do t he ir hi king and biking and , perhaps 1n the future tra in ridi ng in the southern port 'ion of t he acquisition
3. Will Mar iemont at any ti me be cons idered for a point of embarkation of debarkat ion ? What are future pl ans for extended use of the railroad ? Will iam Sprague , presiden t of The Railway Expos iti on Co ., Inc ., stated in a letter to Helen Cantre ll, Chai rman of Ci tizens Comm i ttee for the Relocat ion of U S 50 , that " we do not plan to stop in Mariemont now or in the future ." However the OKI study of the railroad states " the scenic railroad could be extended from Clare Yards to the Cincinnati ri verfr o nt area ." Presently tr ackage through Mar iemont is ow ned by the Norfo l k and Wes t ern Ra ilr oad and fo rms pa rt of a major thro ugh -frei ght route Lon g t e rm , ho wev e r , som e railr oad su pport ers hop e t he scenic ra ilroad will go all the wa y to do wntown Cincinnati.

Dix ie Offers Prime Meat
And Prime Servic e
Product quality, personal service, and community commitment are the foundations upon which Bob Davis of Dixie Meats. 6984 Murray Ave has built his business . These beliefs add up to a successful formula because business has doubled since Bob began his operation three years ago this August Business hours are MondayThu rsda y 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 pm.: Frid ay 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.: Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: and Sunday 11 :00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Business remains ste ady year around. Bob notes that mos t days have a pred ict ab le pattern of business. There is a busy spurt in the early mornin g the early afternoon and the late afternoon. His staff works hard during th e less hectic times to keep th e cases stocked and ready for th e next rush of customers.
Bob came into this f ield with a wealth of experience to draw upon - both practical experience in the meat packin g and cuttin g business and experience in deal In g wit~ the public After nin e years in military service. he went

He learned the retailing business while working for Kroger's and Kmart for a time. He has cut mea t s for both the chefs at the Mariemont Inn and the Coldstream Country Club Th is vari ed background has given him an eye for grad ing meats and selecting only the best for his stocks
Di xie Meats prides itself on t he qua lity of its steaks - nothing bu t prime meat at Dix ie Bob guarantees his meat unconditional ly If his meat or serv ic e doesn ' t pleas e a customer, he wants t o hear about it and "make it goo d with them." Di xi e als o has quite a reputati on for stuffed pork chops, Cordon Bleu , and Chick en Kie v. Most of the business comes from neighboring communities, but people do come all the way from Ft.

The store also offers a selec t ion of 18 cheeses and various condiments to create great sandwiches for a special lunch at home, a spring picnic , or an afternoo n at th e ball game
Asked what he thought of the future of the small businessman in competition with everexpanding ch ain stores, Bob says that he went into business three years ago becau se of a belief that superma rket s had become too large and too standardized.

Th e School Boa rd said it expected Ph ase II of t he Ohio St ate st ud y to sh ow area s in t he Mariemon t cu rriculum t hat are we ak and how to i mprove them. The OSU resear chers sa id they di dn' t un dersta nd t ha t but th e study shows "th ere are man y many good things abou t the school dist rict."
The OSU rep ort focus ed largely on values and goals. This raises th e questi on , says Vir gil Blank e, he ad of the r esear ch te am , " You've got a set of values . Are yo u going to tea ch for it , ar e you teaching for it?" Bla nke sai d freedom and res pons ib i lit y were the most frequently mentioned values.
Citizens singled out the need to provide a structured and disciplined learning environment , too much done on family living , and the use of leisure time as areas of concern. Staff felt that th ere was not enough opportunity for teacher participation in decision making.
84% of t he citizens, 62 % of the staff, and 3 7% of the students felt im pr ovement was needed in lan guage skills The OSU peopl e int erpre t ed this as reading skill s but Boa rd President Jo hn Hodges expres se d th e belief that the co ncern wa s more for grammar a nd composition.

Similarly the research ers thought the concern for leisure time activities meant football and other sports , but Hod ges felt it meant le isure time sp ent in the hi gh school commons drinking cokes.
"The greatest con sensus ab out areas in which the schools ar e not per forming well ," said How ar d Merriman of OSU , " is in deve lo ping pri de in work an d f ee lin g se lfworth , developing good char acter and self -respect.

The su rvey was made of a random samplin g of students in grades 6-12 , all members of the staff, and a random sampling of citizens.
In other business, the Board agreed to advance money to the band for new uniforms; the Music Asso ci ation has $6400 for uniforms and needs $7600 more.

To do so would vio la t e numerous provis io ns of the Na tional Environmental Po licy Act and would be strenuously opposed by a variety of local , state and federal governmental agencies.

Their act io ns appear to be motivated not out of actual concern for the construction of a highway but out of a spirit of revenge and spitefulness.

(Ed: I don ' t understand this statement, but I often have this trouble with Mr Burke ' s remarks.)

Safety Tips - Rules & Habits
We know t hat Sprin g is offici ally here whe n we hear rad io s blaring t hro ug h open ca r windo ws and Big Wheels cla cking by our ankles Tim e to rev iew som e go od commo n sen se safet y tips , rule s and habits . Mr. De nny , principal of Dale Par k School , would li ke to remind all his students to go directly home from school and check in with Mom before running out to play. Do not loiter around the school; do not take any " short cuts"; do not stop at a buddy's first or run in and out of stores in the Village Mr. Denny also recommends the buddy system for walkin g to and from school. In numbers th ere is safety • safety to be seen by motor tr affi c when crossing streets ; safety from strangers By taking the sam e route to and from school , Mom can easily interc ept you if she dec ides at three o'clock to run some errands or rescue you from a sudden spring storm. Lt Hardin would also like to remind mothers picking up their kids to let them into th e car on the passenger side , that side away from traffic And ple ase do not encourage your children to dash across the street to the car That gives the crossing guards gray hairs'
SET A GOOD EXAMPLE CH IEF SHANKS SAYS
Police Chief Donald Shanks d oes not want any of the statistical pedestrian fatalities of Ohio to come from Mariemont. For this reason he stresses that "Pro per examples must be set fo; our children by ol de r children and adu lts. All too frequentl y," he states , " we see ol de r children or adults jay walk, walk aga ins t a pedestrian control signal , or walking in the middl e of a street. All of these practices are extremely dangerous and invite tragedy. " ~hief Shanks goes on to say , Ch ildren are prone to following the examples set for the m There is need for improvement in the ex -
amples we se t for our ch il dren in the area of ped estrian safe ty. School will be out in the next few month s and our chi ldren wi ll not ha ve th e pr ote cti on of adu lt crossing guard s or poli ce off ic ers at danger ous int erse cti ons . So let's all make a better effort to properly instruct our children how to cross the st reet safely ."
How many of us reading this last paragraph think it must pertain to some other guy 7 Yet how many of us run from Graeter ' s and the theater over to the park· ing isla nd ? This is a frequent jay walking area that is both extremely dangerous and foolhardy. We grab our child ' s hand and run with cars coming from three different directions.
GOOD CYCLISTS BECOME GOOD DRIVERS
On t o the cyclist and we include the Big Wheel , the skateboard and the new "MoPed", along with bicycles of all sizes , types and styles . Chief Shank says ttiat "A good bicycle driver will become a good automobile dr iver later on in life." Pare nts riding with their children or jogging beside the Big Wheels have an excellent oppor· tunity to teach safety habits and rules by word an d example. Being visibl e to motor traffic is all important. Invest in a high swaying, brightly colored pennant to attach to the back of bikes and Big Wheels. Attach reflectors to the front and back of bicycles and fluorescent tape to pedals and around wheels. Have a strong light at night and wear light c ol ored clo t hin g Teach youngsters to stop at every driveway as well as every intersection, to obey those stop signs and stay within the white crossing lines of the cross walk Teaching our kids while they are young will instill good habits that they will observe automat ically , we hope, when they go out on

MOS T FREQUEN T
BIC YCLE VIOL ATI ONS
Chief Shanks points out th at " Recently the state of Ohio 1n all of its safety material oe rta1n ing to Bicycle Safety have now been referring to b1c ycie riders as bicycle drivers. You are required by law to obey all of th e traffic rul es and regulations that apply to the driver of an automobile." He goes on to say. " Some of the most frequent types of bicycle v1olat1ons that have been obs erved by Mariemont Police Office rs are: d1sregard1ng traffic control signs and signals. r1d1ng double, riding on the wrong side of the str eet, ridi ng on the sidewalk and the very dangerous practice of rid ing at night without a headlight."

3. The Ford plant. as I said in my remarks , has changed the rules of the game ( Ed : Congratulations , Mr Burke , you have caught one of the ma in points of the editorial. Mariemont citizens do not consider traff ic safety a game .) We al l, LMI and the Relocation Committee , ought to recogn ize that.
4 No one in tw o years has advocated that Mariemont be a stop or a station for the Little Miami Railroad. That was ruled out in the very early stages of the Railroad study That was a decis ion made in consultation with the Mariern ont City Council and was reconfirmed dur ing the course of an appearance by an OKI official and myself before Mariemont Council. (See page 1. )
Marty , what I cr itic ized the High way Department for was wanting to run a highway so close to the river as to in effect be " over " the river I did not say " across " the river There is a distinct and substantial difference between a highway that runs over a river and one that crosses it at a 90 degree angle (Ed : As Mr Burke is aw are , I made notes on his remarks and those notes,
which are still in my possession , show he said " across " Re gardles s, LMl's policy statement includes absolute opposition to any new highway crossings of the ri ver .)
I only wish that you would have accurately reported that what I said included the fact that flex1b1l 1ty was needed on all sides and that includes LMl's. ( Ed : ' I' m beginning t o wonder if Mr. Burk e actually saw the editorial. His statement that LMI needed a " certain flexib ility " while supporters of relocation must "give a little " was clearly reported .) We do live In an urban metropolis , and JUSt1f1ed transportat ion needs must be met We also have a precious economic , recreational and natura l resource in the Little Miami Rive r, and its preserva t ion must be insured I am still not convinced that these two legitim ate goals are incompatible . (Ed : Note Mr Burke did not sp eci f y how he was going to meet transportation needs but if we again refer to the LMI policy statement , his only solution would be the widenin g of U S 50 since the policy sta t ement urges a no build alternative. )
Sincerely , Tim Burke
