THE TREES OF MARIEMONT

T hey are short They are tall. They are smooth . They are crin kl ed . They are oak, and ash, and hickory . There are many. Acres upon acres. Jordan Park , the media strip . They are on Cambrid g e, the laurel or pin oaks.

The beech, the elm, the maples. The white oak, the red, the black oak , the many.

They make the forests of Mariemont , then of Ohio .

The lands of the " Mounders" , the Miami , the Wy a ndotte , t he Pawnee , the Shawnee , the M ingo , the Cherokee , the Sioux, the Ojibway, those now called the "Chippewa", the Blackfoot, the Comanche, the W ahpakoneta, the Iroquois , the Onondag a , the Mohawk , Cayuga, Virginia, the Wobpetan

They were t heir forests, their homes , theirs to live and t o roam.

But, this d a y let us ponder on forests not yonder, b ut here.

Many are the trees of the forests of Mariemont . Hundreds, yea thousands of them, colored with seasons, now green , later brown, in the fall can be yellow.

Compliments

Thank You!

Con t ributions to the cartoon (courtesy of Carolyn Schwenkmeyer) and the envelope in last month's Town Crier have been heart-warming. Between the time the Crier came out (5-27) and June 7, Treasurer Bob Parker had received 71 contributions totalling $405. That's terrific! Thank you from all the staff.

To give you some idea of the financial status of the paper, Bob has prepared some figures for you. The average bill for printing the paper is $435 per month -that's for a 12 page paper. The ads pretty much cover that expense ; in May the income from ads was $445. Charges for delivery and postage for our out-of-town subscribers come to $44.50. Ron Schroeder donates his considerable talents with his camera but we do urge him to bill us for materials used.

When we have an extraspecial issue with lots of photos and extra pages, such as this one, of course the expenses are greater We ' re so .happy with y our support of the Town Crier because it' s one way •

Tennis Court #1

To answer the questions of many tennis players concerning the condit ion of court #1, Mayor Artl.u. Davies reports that Council has been trying to find an answe,: to the tar that was put on the court Half a dozen experts have been consulted but the only answer seems to be to recoat th~ court, which would cost $4500 and according to the Mayor, "just is not in the budget." The courts have been washed with high speed hoses but with little effect. Right now the Mayor and tennis court manager Roland Reeves are waiting to see if the Chevron Company has a solution to the problem.

Notice

Anyone caught within the confines of the swimming pool via illegal entry (over the fence, etc.) will , be arrested and dealt with severely Please don't cause us to have to take this action.

Mariemont - After the Beginning by Warren Parks . Part

Ten - The Incorporation

As most of the citizens of Mariemont know , the creation and building of Mariemont started in 1923. This was after it was carefully planned by Town Planner John Nolen, of Cambridge , Massachusetts, and the engineering features were planned and supervised by the Boston firm of Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike.

The Mariemont Company and The Thomas J Emery Memorial were respons ible for all the construction activities beginning in April, 1923, but Mariemo nt did not become a Municipality until 1943.

In February , 1941, an ordi nance was introduced to the Council of Cincinnati, authorizing the annexation to the City of certain territory in the easte rn part of Hamilton County which would include areas generally known as Mariemont and Fairfax.

Obviously, the citizens of Mariemont were aware of this attempt by the City to anne x Mariemont , so a step was taken to counteract the

proposed action. In conformance with State Law , a group of citizens filed with the Columbia Township Trustees, on March 14, 1941, a petition requesting an election to determine if the citizens of this area desired to create a Village of Mariemont.

A few months before the proposed action by the City of Cincinnati, the Mariemont Civic Association was organized in January, 1939, and created a "Government Status Committee" to investigate the question of annexation vs. incorporation, and to report primar- · ily to its own membership . The Civic Association arranged for three public meetings.

The first meeting, held on March 3, 1941, was for the purpose of discussing annexation. The City Manager of Cincinnati participated as well as a Cincinnati Councilman , the Assistant City Solicitor and the Vice President of the Cincinnati Board of Education More than four hundred persons were present.

MariElders Board

Most Boards of Trustees are concerned with policy, finances and all around continuity ; contacts with the agency they ride herd on are in the form of verbal I\Ild wr itten reports Not so here When Betsy Smith, Program Advisor, talks , we not only listen - we see Betsy is totally involved with a large part of what goes on at the MariElders Center . She instructs the crafts class and has trans-· formed an old , dark, unused place in the Parish Center into a beautiful work room . Her classes have become productive beyond imagining . Krone Conservatory is selling their quilling work in the gift shop The sale of small items (none over $1 25) netted $209 at Old Coney ' s Senior Expo. On June 11, Anna Schroer, Barb Paris and Lynne Anderson will be guest instructors in an all day session.

Betsy is the spark plug that makes all this go. Her inventiveness and originality are boundless And she is a Volunteer !

Harmon Wilson , Facilities Chairman , has , like Betsy , insight to recognize need and the unique ability to design , build, assemble, and fix. He has transformed one end of the new room into a workshop, manstyle , with bench and tools. His reports to the board mean a t our t o see what he ' s talking about and he is a volunteer!

Many Board meetings are mo t ions made and passed (or not) but Betsy and Harmon keep us in touch with the bottom line . Carolyn Schwenkmeyer

This year is the fifti eth anniversary of the construction of the Carillon Tower. The tower is nestled within a pleasant grove of trees at the edge of Dogwood Park - an idylic setting for classic ballet. And to start off this golden anniversary year, Carillonneurs Meyer and Gegner invited the Anneliese von .Oettingen Ballet Companies to interpret the music of the bells as well as more traditional dance numbers. The dancers performed on an elevated stage built near the base of the tower to an audience of several hundred enthralled viewers.

Somehow the rhythm of the bells and their harsh timbre seemed to punctuate the flowing motion of the dancers. It was a remarkable marriage of art forms and the staging within the world of nature made this golden anniversary perronnance a thing of beauty to be remembered.

Ga.mes and refreshments followed the program.

Crier Smith Goes Trav~ling

Ralph Smith holds a special spot in the annals of Mariemont as its one and only official town crier. Those residents who have been delighted at Ralph's hearty "hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!" as he calls to order various village func• tions may be startled to learn that while Ralph is special, he is not unique. He is one of a select group of men who serve as town criers.

If you attended the Town Meetings this year , you heard Ralph explain that he knew nothing of the Inter· national Town Criers until last year, when he and his wife Mary Eleanor happen• ed to be in Halifax on vacation a day after the I. T. C. championship was held. Our Town Crier also stated that if he receives an invitation to participate in this year s festival, he was planning to attend at his own expense. Well, the invitation was extended to Ralph to participate in the Second International Town Criers Championship on September 22 at Historic Properties, Halifax, Nova Scotia, in conjunction with the Joseph Howe Festival, which is held in honor of one of Nova Scotia's illus• trious statesmen.

Last year 13 Town Criers took part. There were five from Canada, six from England, one from Ber • muda, and one from Prov• incetown, Mass The reign• ing champion is Ian Clark• son, of Cheshire, England. The judging is based upon the authenticy and beauty of the Town Crier's costume as well as his ability to utter proclamations or

Naturally Ralph wants to do Mariemont proud. Accordingly it will be necessary to update or refurbish his costume. Contributions were collected at the Town Meeting for a total of $220 - quite generous, but not enough to enable him to do a "first class job." According to Ralph, an additional $250-$300 is needed to make the costume com• plete. Such a sum is really not great, he says, when compared with the cos• tumes of the current champion and the other participants in last year's championship . By comparison, Mr. Clarkson's cloak alone cost over $2000. Therefore an appeal is made for every family in Mariemont to contribute what they desire, not to exceed $1, in order that when Ralph does represent our village in the festival he will have a costume of which we all can be proud and which will reflect well upon our community.

Where The Action Is

It's the HUB, HUB, HUB, (no, I'm not stutter· ing), where the action, action, action is! (In my exuberance my tongue gets stuck once in a while.) What I'm trying to tell you is that MariElders has a 1• .:w crafts, activities, meet· ing and recreation room adjoining the bowling area in the Parish Center named the HUB, by member Ruth Voelker. You must stop by and see it.

With the help of manr. people the room was pane · ed, painted, carpet scrub• bed and new lights were installed. There are a number of work tables , a pool table donated by Kiwanis (the others were sold for $850.00 and money contributed to help MariElders), and even a sturdy work bench with vise and all, built by Harmon Wilson.

The sketching class, under Thelma Reichle's tutelage is displaying some of their pictures on one wall. The other wall con-

Thompson - Gossard Answer Scr'lol Questions

Question: Is there any major point of dissension other than evaluation?

Thompson: From my point of view, I do not feel there is a major dissension. Mr . Gossard and I have talked about some concerns which we'll take a look at.

Gossard: I think not. Nothing of that magnitude Of course thee are some disagreements but we are hopeful of solving them.

Question: Are you encouraged since the meetings have started between Dr. Thompson and Oliver Gossard (superintendent and MDEA president, respectively)?

Dr. Thompson: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak with , the MDEA president. I think no later than the second board meeting in June, we

will have a pollcy to present to the board.

Gossard: Over the matter of evaluation , the process in development has gone rather well . The committee seems pleased . . . I presume that the board will adopt it and then the teachers will also.

Question: Do you think this will have any effect on the tax levy passage?

Thompson: I have no reasor to believe the teachers won't be supportive. Individually they are very supportive and have offered to help .

Gossard: Really don't know . We can ' t be certain but the tax levy is important. People of this community will probably want to maintain this small, orderly school system we have

MHS Sports Honors

Mariemont High excels in sports as well as academics. Considering the size of the student body, it is quite amazing how tnany titles and records are made and remade, trophies won, and honors given to Mariemont athletes. This year was no exception. Both Boys and Girls Track teams won EHL titles and the tennis teams were similarly impressive

On Sports award night, Coach Tom Crosby presented David Fields with the Steve McKee Award for Best All Around Athlete Dave and his brother Ken were outstanding in the EHL track competition, as was Doug Heuck.

The Girls Track Team (Lady Warriors) , co ached by Lew Lady, broke eleven school records and scored 149 points in the EHL. They were second in the Mariemont Relays, first in EHL relays , first in the Mariemont Invitational, first in the EHL , first in sectionals, and fourth in the district .

Rare is the little girl who never plays dress-up, especially bride dress-up. More rare is the grown-up girl who sees in reality the bridal gown she once saw in her mind. Some Mariemont brides have been fortunate in this way. Two of them are the former Colette and Denise Stringfield whose mother, Dell Stringfield, understands the French modiste touch. French was Dell 's mother tongue when she was growing up in bayou countrv in Louisiana. Dell's maiden name was Romero but her mother's maiden name was Badeaux So in 1967 Dell and her husband, Leonard, felt that they should visit both France and Spain. One of the smaller objects of their tri p was to buy lace in Paris to trim a wedding dress for Colette. But when Colette chose a Renaissance style, reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, it became appropriate for the entire dress to be made of that Parisian lace. Silk flowers had been woven into the lace, and the bodice of Colette's dress was trimmed in pearls, a single one being sewn in the center of each flower. The veil of double tulle was edged with lace, as was the over-the-face tier , held in place by a pearl centered peau de soie bow. The dress became reality in September, 1968, with candle light and the mellow stones of Mariemont Community· Church to complete "the scene.

Dell had been able to work at her own pace _ because she had had from January to September for the task. Long before this, she had arranged a sewing room where all necessary tools were at hand, including a counter top for cut-

A Special Kind of Creativity

ting out patterns. Actually it is a sewing half-room, you might say. The other half is for Len's stamp collecting.

For the marriage of second daughter Denise in 1973, Dell again had from January till September for an equally enchanting but very different dress. Denise· had said "No lace veil to catch on the greenery of the garden," but mantilla lace that Dell had bought in Madrid, also in 1967, covered the cake table. The dress was of peau de soie with an Empire waist and rope sash, three tiered cape sleeves trimmed with double edged lace, a threetiered skirt, and a lace trimmed collar.

Dell also made the wedding dress worn by a friend, Debbie Dobbs, in July of last year. Debbie's dress was contemporary, with a full skirt and overblouse and push up sleeves. The neckline was edged with a garland of tiny flowers and green leaves, drawn by Debbie and embroidered by Dell, the flowers complementing the wedding colors of peach and blue and Debbie's bouquet. Dell had braided a belt from the same material as the dress, a semi-sheer synthetic , Windsong.

There is, perhaps, an e{lually useful hobby rooll! in the Jim and Jean Baird house, but it was Jim who made the dress when their daughter, Phyllis, was married in June, 1973. He even made the bridesmaids'

Once Jean took n sewing course and had a new sewing machine with a confusing owner's instruction manual. , n order to come to her aid, Jim had to stitch a few feet. A littlL later, Jean gave up and had a suit custom made. The result was so disappointing that Jim found himself making the rash remark "Why, I could do better than that !" Rash, not because he could not , but because he very well could. By keeping an open mind, Jim discovered that it takes engineering know -how to make things out of cloth and that here was an activity refreshingly different from his regular job . Then Fate came along in the shape of a neighbor who wanted to get rid of a machine with many fancy gadgets. " The challenge was fascinating Phyllis said "I don ' t know just when it became clear that Dad was going to

make my dress , but I am surely glad that he did ."

Phyllis had looked in bride magazines and had found a neckline here, a style of dress there, but never anyt hing she wanted all together So Jim made blueprints and between January and the middle of May it all came into being. Once agrin \In.ere were lace insets centered by pearls The lace came from some six inch edging which Jim cut into various patterns for insets and appliques At one point he obtained professional help by sending lace to Chicago to be applied to a helmet cap.

Caron Benton has taken a careful sewing approach for the approaching marriage of her daughter, Kay, in September of this year. Carol started out by making a practice dress in a shorter length which can also be used as a party dress . It was always taken for granted that Carol would make the wedding dress; she had been sewing since she was so high According to old traditions the dress cannot be described in a newspaper before it is worn, but Carol ' s sewing cabinet is deserving of special mention . Carol designed and made her cabinet so t hat there would be grooves for all the spools of thread, all the zippers and everything that a sewing person might need. To make the cabinet herself , she used tools other than needle or scissors Women 's lib and men ' s libmaking a wedding dressa special kind of creativity whose labors are never for~v~ten.
