Part Three For The Road
Training for a marathon has become harder than I had ant icipat ed. Surprisingly , the hard part is scheduling the time to train. And , there are obstacles that occasionally catch you unprepared First , the obst~cles.
The training week prior to the 15 mile Charleston , W Va., Distance Run on Labor Day, was a veritable "buffet" of runners ' problems On a ten mile early evening run from Mariemon t to the Regen cy on Mad ison and back, the dark of night came about two ho urs early as thunderstorms rolled in. Running in the rain can be fun, but running through a waterfall and dodging hail and falling branches was more torture than I needed. Fortunately, I was rescued by my sister -in-l aw who was driving down Erie Avenue .
The next day I decided to run the ten miles from downtown to Northside and back over lunch As I jogg ed into the crosswalk at Cental Parkway and Harrison with the walk light, I ca ught sight of a car turning left onto the viaduct. The driver was leaning over the steering wheel straining his eyes skyward apparently look in g for U.F.0 .' s. All he saw was me diving for the curb . He missed me and drove on Two courteous drivers stoppe d and hel ped me. Cuts and bruises and a sore hip from the curb were fortunately the only injuries.
On the third day of this so -far exciting week I played run , hide and seek with a Germa n SheP.herd on Miami Road in Indian Hill To make a long story short, he turned

out to be harml ess, but not before I gave considerable thoug~t to t aking up jump- roping behind a lock ed garage door.
The final two days before Charleston, I stuck to the quiet streets of our village weaving my way through its familiar tree lined beauty. At last, Charleston My original goal. Charleston Is one of t he best run races in the country In the past it has drawn big names li ke Frank Sherter, 81 11 Rodgers and this year, Dr George Sheehan , the " answer man" for all runners. And of course, I was there ... eager and excited. The weather was clear and cool at the 9:00 a.m. start. But I knew it would be in the mid 80's during the final two mile stretch to the stadium Two miles on hot pavement without shade. My plan was
ed out a female runner about ten yards ahead of me, planted my eyes on her backside and followed her all the way to the finish. My time was 2 hours and 8 minutes.
Within five minutes, nothing hu rt anymore I wasn't really disappointed. All I could think of was the New York Marathon coming up. And it is 11 miles longer than the run I jus t finished.
By the time you read this article , t he New York Marathon on October 22nd will be history. Due t o a ted ious schedule at my work, chang ing weather and a terrible cold, my training fell off shortly after Charleston However, for the past three weeks I have averaged 65 to 70 miles per week , with three Sunday runs of 20 or more miles I feel ready. My goal is not to break any records nor any part of my body. I want to finish And I will!
to "save" myself so I could ease toward the finish line My goal was to break two hours Well, the best laid plans of mice and runners What happened was that I used most of my energy in the first six miles in the West Virginia hills. I was s~rprised a~ · the relative ease that It took until I reached the 6 mile mark and heard the time . I was too far ahead of my pace. I kept my pl an going but at mile 13, I had lost it. And my hip started to ache from my "close encounter" earlier in the week.
This is where you really find out about yourself Do you quit? Do you really feel that bad? He re I was overtired before I planned , sweating terr ibly from the sun above and the blacktop below and my hip hurting badly I finally pick- '

Part Three • Early Items Of Interest
It is inte resting to recall how many early act ivities were necessary to form a basis of the future commu nity. Some have already been mentioned, but there are many more . Can you imagine that the first preliminary grading was performed by "Mule Power!"
We can now bra g that all of the wires which are normally strung on poles were placed underground, und er the streets . This included both electric and telephone cables which normally are hung on poles and are quite visible The service wires connect ing the main cabl es wit h the basements were underground too, of course.
This work had to go along with the ins tal lation of water , gas and sewer main s, which are un der the streets and ar e connected to th e houses by small serv ice lin es or pipes
It is ~e~ erally known that the first building construction was started in t he northwest section of Mariemont and was called the Dale Park Section The first year from April, 1923, was devoted to the grad ing of th e streets and the installation of the utilities This had to be done before the pave men ts and curbing could be in sta ll ed.
The Dale Park area was the scene of great activity when the building construction · force was organized. It must be remembered that as soon as Mr. Nolen, the Town Planner, completed the general plan, and a start had been made on the street construction, some 25 architectural firms or individual architects were assigned the designing and supplying of plans for the building construction.
A construction organization was set up under Superintendent Townsend, who had to select a force of about 1,000 workers to handle all the various types of work to be done , so that the real building of Mariemont could get started
In connection with the underground install ations , it is inte re stin g to know that a natural stream of wa ter existed from t he north end of wha t wa s to be the present stad ium , ju st sou th of Murray Ave. , to a low point in Plainvi lle Rd ., ju st south of the site chosen for the Rec reation Building This sma ll brook had to be enclosed for its length between these points The solution was to la y a 66-inch concr ete pipe at the str eam lev el in the stre ambed Arrangements were

made for a contractor to construct separ ate pipe unit s for this pipe line of reinforced co ncrete This was done on an open area Just opposite the stadium on the northeast side of Madisonville Rd The installation of these large sections of concrete pipe was not such a difficult job, even though it had to be continued under Plainville Rd., for the water to dischar~e into Dale Park. A separate section of this pipe line had to be installed under Wooster Pike where the water from the brook not enclosed withi n Dale Park ' had to pass into Dogwood Park '. The size of this pipe may be seen at thi s crossing . It is rather obv ious that one of th e early requiremen ts , which must precede any co nstruction, was that a cer ta in amount of surveyin g had to be completed. As soon as the plans for the streets and _ princi pal bu il ding s were available , in Apr il of 1923 an Enginee rin g Department 'was organi zed In order to keep the work on schedu le it was necessary to enroll six survey parties and six inspectors, to keep the construction work moving. In or der to coordinate the locati on of str eets and bui ldi nl!'. :;ites it was custo mary to establish a "Triangulation System ." This is operate d by t he use of surveying instr uments and ca r efu l measurem ents Br iefly, a base line must be carefu lly est ab lish ed Then monuments were se t in th e ground at various points as shown on the Mas t er Pla n.

Marry , not Marie!
No, this artic le is not a review of a Victorian nove l wh ich urges the hero to shun the dangerous Ma rie! It is abo ut a common pet peeve of Mariemonters concerning the pronunciation of our Village ' s name . Granted it is difficult for people who d~ not liv e here and only see t he name in print instead of hearing it spoken How ever , for those in Cincinna ti who are in the communications or real estate business , they should make i t their bus in ess to pronounce the name correctly Cu rr ent ly , there 1s a commercial for a local real estate firm which st at es proudly that they have an off ice in MARIEm ont. Their mispronunciation makes me question their familiarity with our Village ! Furt he rm ore, I wince whenever we are ment ione d in the radio and te levision news and the listening audience 1s once ag ain misinformed Mar iemont was named by Mary Em ery af ter her estate at Newport , Rho de Island " Mar iemont" foll ows the English pronunc iat ion " Marry -mont ," and i s not pronounced as its spell ing would indicate OK , so now you know The next time so meon e hears you say you live in "Marry-mo nt" and comments , " Oh , is that how you say 1t? I always though it was MARIEmont ," you can clear up the confu sion by citing the bit of tr ivia above. Today , our friends .. . tomorrow, the wo rl d! Marry , Ma rry, MARRY-mont!

The Westover Wind of Mariemont
In Ca liforni a, th ey speak of the Santana wind ; in France, they have a strong col d wind called the Mi stral. Mar iemont, too , has a breeze we might name the " Westove r Wind " On certain days when cond iti ons are ju st right, the aroma of fre sh ly-baked Keeble r co ok ies fills the air . Some mor· nin gs one detects a hint of cin· namon or coconu t while on other day s the scent bring s forth visions of untold numbers of chocolate chip cookies! A common miscon cep tion is that the Keebler Fact or y is located in Fairfax because part of Fairfax extends in fro nt of the plant. Howev er , these Ke eble r elves are working their wonders in Mariemont 's own indust ri aI district which was ori gin ally referred to as Westover War ren Parks describes this are a as an extrem ely busy one in th e ear ly 1920's when resid ent ial Mariemont was be i ng constructed Westover served as a del ivery site for rai l shipm en ts. Lumber , br ic ks, cement, and othe r supplies were sto red here . Mar iemont Avenue is the main street of this section . Or igin al plans called for this road to li nk up with th e residential Mariemont Avenue to the east. (A bridge had even been designed to go over a hollow between the two.
Factory construction began in 1928 Fountain Way Washing Machines was the first factory
Today , Cincinnati Steel Treating operates at this site Mar iemont Laundry was at the place where Exquisite Laundry and Dry Cleaning Company now has it s headquarters In 1939, St ri etmann Biscuit Compa ny (n ow owned by Keebler) bought 15 acres of land to construct the largest factory in Westover This original plant was enlarged in 1965 World War II brough t the U S Corps of Engineers and a Searchlight Mirror Plant which was a busy place during the war years . This building has since served a number of different peacetime uses.
A ride down Mariemont Avenue today will show you the namepl ates of Cincinnati Gear , Cin cinn at i Steel Treating , Jung Pr oduct s -Future and Gr id Sports , Camp eon Roofing and Waterproofing Inc ., and Keeble r The Li ttle Miam i Center , Ohio River Div ision , of the U.S . Arm y Corps of Engineers is also there Mate ri als testing work in connect ion with nav igat ion locks , flood control , dams , levees , flood walls , etc is done at this installation All in all, a variety of products and services originate in this busy section where Mar iemont employers are contributing to the progress and economic well-being of the commun i ty A Westover wind blows in much good Suzy Baker

If U.S. 50 Is Dead Long Live The New Connector.
The daily papers have carri ed stories recently reporting that the rel ocation of Ro ute 50 is a dead iss ue At th e same time, they report that a study team is be ing formed to study a new conn ector between Columbia Parkway and I· 275.
Does this mean tha t all the ef · forts and concerns of Mariemont residents have been wasted? Certainly not , says He len Cantrell , chairman of Citizens for a Re location of Route 50 " Naturally , we 're disappointed that the project drags on , but obviously any major transportation facility between Red Bank Rd. and 1-275 will help relieve traffic through Mariemont, regardles s of what it is called."
The study team consists of representatives from Mariemont (Helen Cant rell), Fairfax, Newtown , LMI, a nd various governmental agencies Their job is to study primarily the extension of S R. 32 from 1-275 to Fairfax. That study is expected to take a minimum of two years after wh ich public hearings will be conducted.
In related developments , Fairfax Council has changed their pos ition in opposition to a re location with a new resolution fav oring a st udy of transportation needs of this area
Clouding the issue is the question of a Multi-Resource Histor ica l Designation in the Nationa l
Register for the entire length of the Little Miami River from Yellow Sprin gs to the Ohio This design ation is be in g spearheaded by a group called friends of the Little Miami valley. Dal l as Kinney,chairman of a Newtown citizens organ iza ti on , has expressed the fear that Friends of the L.M. Valley is an off-shoot of Little Miami , Inc The co-chai rm an of Friends is Warren Reed , who serves on the Executive Committee of LMI , and members of LM I make up half of those present at meetings thus fa r. LMI Ex · ecutive Director Tom Behan says there is no connection between the two organ izations. He sees the mu lt i-r esource des ignation as a boon to the valley , allowing for preservation and econom i c development, particularly for towns along the railroad Friends of L.M. Valley will vote on the boundaries of the histor ic district at a meeting, open to the public, on Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Morrow Depot.

THE MARIEMONT VILLAGE ASSEMBLY PROGI~AM FOR OLDER ADULTS
This factual report will help answer your questions
1. What is the Mariemont Village Assembly Program for Older Adults?
MariElders is a comprehensive program de dic ated to improving the quality of life for Mariemont's older p ersons by providin g opportunities for meaningfu l activities and peer rela tions hips.
The MariElder Program provides a Multiservice Center that offers:
A. Group Services, such as educational clas s es, recreation and social activi t ies, forums and lecture s , visit s to industries and service projects for the Center and community .
B. Individual Services, such as friendly visits to ill residents, reassurance calls to shutins, transportation, library , information concerning and referral to appropriate service agencies, health screening, and per s ona l counseling.
2. Hew did the program for Older Adults originate?
The Mariemont Kiwanis Club early in 1977 suggested to th e Mariemon t Village Assembly the desirability of a communi ty program designed to serve the unique needs of older people. The Villa ge Assembly appoin t ed a task force to study the matter a nd make recommendations. Convincing data from population research, open meeting discussions and qu estionnaires led to the unanimous decision by the Village Assembly to establish a program, secure initial funding and elect as a governing Board of Trustees twelve persons representing various segments of the Mariemont community
J. How succes~ful has the program for Older Adults been in achieving its goals (See #1) during its first year of operation?
Concrete evidence of its effectiveness is offered by the activity programs published monthly and available at the Center or from MariElder members. Additional supportive data is available at the Center in the form of the Director's monthly reports to the Board of Trustees summarizing services rendered.
4. How does the program for Older Adults benefit the citizens who are not in the category of older adults? I
Although in existence less than one year, the MariElder Center has initiated o"n-going activities designed to cooperate with the Police , the Fire Department Life Squad and village officials in matters of home and neighborhood security, crime prevention, emergency treatments (such as C.P.R. training) , blood pressure, hearing and cancer screenings (regardless of age) and village beautification. The potential of older adult volunteers in providing services valuable to all residents of Mariemont is im mense, but as yet barely tapped - a compelling reason for every citizen to supp0rt pa ssage of Issue 27.
5. How has the Program for Older Adults been funded to date?
The staffing so necessary for the start-up and development of the Program has been supplied by a federally-funded Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) one-year grant. Rent , telephone, supplies, equipment and miscellaneous expenditures have been funded by contributions supplied by the Village Assembly, Mariemont Kiwanis Club, Mariemont Village Council (from Revenue Sharing funds) Mariemont Communi ty Church, private individua ls and businesses and by contributions of MariElder members themselves. Detailed monthly bud get breakdown reports are available a t the Cen ter.
6. Why is a one-half mill levy necessary now?
CETA funding has represented a temporary expedient enabling th e initiation of the needed program while arra ngements are being made for on-going sources of revenue. During 1979 CETA is p artially funding the Mariemont Village Ass embly Program for Older Adults with th e understanding that eventually we must "s ta nd on our own two feet" - which requires a small local tax levy. Although revenue from the small half-mill levy will provide less than half of the funding presentl y coming from CET A, the passage of Issue 27 will supply a firm, on - going financial base philosophically more in keeping with the belief of Mariemont citizens in self help and local control. With continued support from present contributors and sponsors and with the increased contribution of vo lunteer time and effort, Mariemont's Program for Older Adults will be selfsustaining, on-going, and increasingly able to return to the Mariemont community the valuable contributions older people have to offer.
7. Why does the wording of Issue 27 emphasize only the recreational aspects of the Program for Older Adults and ignore the more important service aspects (service both to the individual and to the Mariemont community?)
Present Ohio law governing the taxing authority of Mariemont provides for tax issues for the purpose of recreation, but is silent on provision of other services. With respect to recreation, it is important to note that no funds have beeri or will be expended for private in dividual benefits. The transportation, admission, food and other sim ilar personal expenses of participants in MariElder activities such as trips, dinners, the a ter , ball gam es, etc. have always been and will continue to be paid in full b y the indiv iduals participating.
8.
What will Issue 27 cost me as a home owner?
It is estimated that the yearly tax of one half mill ($.0005) on a house with a market value of $40 , 000 would be approximately $7.00; on a house valued on the market at $60,000 it would be approximately $10.00 ; on a $75,000 house it wou ld be approximately $12 .50. The cost is thus roughly e q uivalent to ordering two or three cups of coffee a month at y o ur favorite restauran t .
