Terrace Park Boy Scout Troop 286was pleased to honor John Bowers onMemorial Day by having John marchwith the troop during the parade. Thetroop honored John for his “Spirit ofthe Eagle” award that he received lastfall from the Boy Scout Dan BeardCouncil. The award was given forJohn’s achievements in Scouting andproviding leadership to many Scoutsover the years.
During his youth, John was veryactive in Scouts in Canada, where helived while his Father was stationed inthe military, and in the states. Johnachieved a rare feat in that he earnedthe rank of Queen Scout while living
The Chitwood brothers grew up inMiami Grove. Joe, Steve and GilbertChitwood were at the Miami GroveNature Preserve dedication in Octoberof 2004. These three still live in theCincinnati area and all have visitedthe Miami Grove Nature preservesince the dedication, some with theirfamilies. Steve Chitwood found outabout our search for Fred Williamspaintings and he sent photos of sever-al and has offered to help us obtainoriginals. He told stories of FredWilliams helping the Red Cross whenthey came in to save the Grove resi-dents during spring floods.
Steve expressed his appreciationto the village for restoring the MiamiGrove name and visitation for formerresidents:
"We think that it's great that it'snot private down there any more. I'vebeen down there a few times since theDedication, but am going to take mywife and son down to see it as they'venever been there before.
thanks....Steve Chitwood" Steve has sent his Arizona broth-
ers information on the village's recog-nition of their former home. They areall planning a visit within the year.
The response has been terrific.We are continuing to receive interest-ing and fun photos and memorabiliafor our Archive.
As we featured Bob Payne's"Mayor's Court" recollections last
in Canada as well as the Eagle Scoutrank after returning to the UnitedStated. The Queen Scout is equivalentto the Eagle Scout and is awarded inrealms of the Commonwealth, includ-ing the United Kingdom, Canada,Australia, and New Zealand where theScouts operate under the ceremonialleadership of the monarch.
As an adult, John continued to bevery active in Scouting as an adulttroop leader and merit badge coun-selor with Troop 286.

“Do a good turn daily”Boy Scout Troop 286 has been livingthe Scout Slogan, “Do a Good TurnDaily,” with a number of recent eventsand activities.
On May 8, Scouts and their Fathershosted a Mother’s Day Brunch by usingtheir cooking skills to make some tastydishes that included Serbian Eggs,Heavenly Hots, Asparagus Frittata withGruyere Cheese, and Fruit Salad withHoney-Lime Dressing. Scouts startedpreparations at 8 a.m. and the feast wasready at 11 a.m. when the Momsarrived. A good meal enjoyed by all!
After the brunch, the Scouts headedto the Terrace Park Swim Club to helpwith maintenance for the summer open-ing of the pool by repairing pot holes inthe parking lot and trimming the shrubsand bushes on the property.
On May 23, the troop met at TheVillage Green to assist the maintenancecrew in preparing the grounds for the
Memorial Day celebrations. The troopedged and removed weeds from thelarge beds and the trees that borderHarvard and Amherst in preparation fornew mulch. It was a hot and humid day,but the Scouts persevered and the endresult made them proud of the workthey had done to make Memorial Day amemorable event.
For the third year, the troop collect-ed donations to send to the troops inIraq and Afghanistan during theMemorial Day Parade. With so manyother major events in the news of late, itis easy to forget about the tremendousjob that our troops are performing over-seas for our country. Troop 286 wishesto thank all residents who donateditems to make life a little easier forthose serving our country.
Without a doubt, the young men ofScout Troop 286 have been doing manygood turns!

I now know the reason for the holidaythat was named Memorial Day. Butwhen I was younger, I mistook almostevery holiday as a time people gaveout candy, ate a filling dinner, andopened presents. But of course mostof this isn’t true for Memorial Day.
The first time I realized whatMemorial Day was really about, I wasabout eight or nine years old. MyAunt Jenny, Uncle Brian and I were inWashington DC, planning to visit theSmithsonian and some of the othermore famous monuments forMemorial Day. After long hours oftouring my aunt and uncle wanted totake me to one more monumentcalled the Vietnam Veteran’sMemorial. The long wall of namesstretched along a walkway with smallcrowds of people. As I traced my fin-gers down the row of names, I real-ized that none of the people listed onthe long monument ever returnedhome. This was stunning to me. I hadnever understood how many peopledied in our wars or how much suffer-ing came over a family where impor-tant and loved family members usedto be.
A long time ago, there was a dayof mourning and sadness in Waterloo,New York. A small number of sol-diers were reunited with their thank-ful families. But there were others
who were valiant enough to fightalong side the living soldiers whonever returned, what about them?Families were never to be wholeagain. A loving brother, sister, father,or mother that was cared for and thenwas gone. Families faced greatamounts of suffering and sadnesswhen their family members neverreturned, or faced death.
A man named Henry C. Welles,who was a drugstore owner inWaterloo, New York, knew of thetroubles the men and women had toface in dealing with loved one’sdeaths. He knew how hard it was tolose a family member in the war orwatch day after day as your closestfriends and relatives were killed. Hesaw how many deaths took place, andgravestones were set up with a loyalbrave soldier’s name upon it. Thesepeople deserved to be thanked andhonored as much as the soldiers whodidn’t have their lives taken.Therefore he started a tradition thatwas named Decoration Day, longafter, renamed Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is the time peoplegather to show respect for their lovedones. Flowers and sacred plants arelaid down to decorate the graves andshow gratefulness to the people who

Remembering our gardeningfriends
The beautiful wedge-shaped gardenthat you see by the bridge is theTerrace Park Garden Club’s MemorialBed. It is planted and maintainedevery year by members of the GardenClub and dedicated each spring to thememory of the club members whohave passed away the previous year.
This year the Memorial Bed ishere-by dedicated to the memory ofRita Leming, a long time member
Summer at Stepping Stones Centermeans a new season of camp, wherechildren who have significant disabil-ities get a chance to swim and laughand be accepted for their abilities. It’sa place where it doesn’t matter if youmove slower than the other kids.
The Stepping Stones camp expe-rience also affects our friends andneighbors in Terrace Park and IndianHill, who may experience some trafficcongestion when passing the SteppingStones entrance on Given Road whenchildren are dropped off at 9 a.m. orpicked up between 3 and 3:30 p.m.
We received a phone call after thefirst day of camp from a concernedneighbor who got caught in the line ofcars at the end of the camp day. Pleaseknow that we are working to assuretraffic flows as quickly as possible,and we expect congestion to lessen asparents and children become moreaccustomed to the camp routine. Wehave staggered pick-up times, withpreschoolers leaving at 2:30 p.m.,buses leaving at 3 p.m. and privatecars at 3:30 p.m., to ease congestion.
The first day of camp always gen-
erates extra traffic, as campers identi-fy the correct bus and parents navi-gate the routine. The children whomove a little slower through life alsomove a little slower as they boardbuses and transfer from wheelchairs.
We apologize for any inconven-ience the camp day may present. Justas the families of our campers havelearned to leave a little time cushionin their daily schedule to accommo-date their child’s challenges, we askour neighbors to leave a little timecushion if your schedule includes thebottom of Given Road at 9 a.m. orfrom 3 to 3:30 p.m. Old Indian HillRoad is a possible alternative route.
For those not in a hurry, we inviteyou to use that moment in traffic toappreciate the efforts of the youngvolunteers you see – perhaps yourown children or neighbors -- whospend their school vacations makingsure children with disabilities have thebest summer of their lives.
With best wishes for your summer,Chris Adams, Managing Director
of Stepping Stones Center and TerracePark Resident
and avid gardener who loved thisspecial place.
We, who follow her, are nowcharged to maintain the gardens andtrees of the Village in her absence.Please remember Rita Leming in yourheart every time you pass by thisbeautiful flowerbed. Watch it growand change with the seasons as areminder of how Rita’s love forTerrace Park grew over many years.
To the editor:
embarked on a river boat for an all nightcruise with dancing to a jazz combo.Some students weren't allowed toattend that part since they were requiredto keep to their normal midnight cur-few. Some of those students were happywith the continued restriction since theyfelt they were more awake to enjoy thefollowing day. Breakfast in the morn-ing was back at the school followed bya short rest period. Then it was on toConey Island for a day of rides, snooz-ing in the sun and other entertainment.Nightfall saw probably half the groupenjoying yet another dance at Coney'sMoonlight Gardens. The rest had gonehome to bed.
It is interesting that this was thefirst Prom for Terrace Park students atMariemont High School. The TerracePark High School's last year was 1957.
Fifty-two years after the original event,a picture of the Mariemont HighSchool Junior-Senior Prom atKenwood County Club appeared onpage 16 of the May 17, 2010 issue ofTime magazine. What was so specialabout this prom is that it was the firstreally extended hour prom in theUnited States and lasted almost 32hours. At the time Life magazine tookpictures and they appear in their June 9th, 1958 issue. Easily identifiable inthe original picture are Don Hugheswith Joyce Robinson (now Getz) andJim Rockaway. Perhaps some of youcan identify others.
Essentially the evening started witha spaghetti to strawberry cake progres-sive dinner including informal gamesbefore the formal but highly energeticdance. Following that, students

Kindervelt #76 still going strong after 25 yearsDuring the last 25 years, TerracePark’s Kindervelt Chapter 76, hasraised more than $310,000 to supportCincinnati Children's HospitalMedical Center. In 1984-1985, thechapter was established by a few,inspired village residents with a heartfor helping others. This tradition ofphilanthropy continues today. For2009-2010, we celebrate the TerracePark chapter’s largest contribution todate of more than $40,000 to theDivision of Asthma Research.
As one of the 41 neighborhoodchapters in the tri-state area,Kindervelt has provided funding inmany different areas of CincinnatiChildren's. The gifts have been usedto purchase specialized equipment forthe Department of Radiology, an ana-lytical florescence microscope for theDivision of Hematology/Oncology,and life-support systems for theIntensive Care-Coronary Unit. Wehave helped fund a new division forInfectious Diseases, and madefive–year commitments to the
Kindervelt Cardiovascular ResearchEndowment Fund and the KinderveltProfessor of Pulmonary Medicine.Kindervelt also helped to fund con-struction of the Kindervelt TraumaCenter and the Kindervelt CriticalCare Program. Kindervelt has mostrecently funded the Divisions ofAdolescent Medicine and theDivision of Developmental andBehaviorial Pediatrics.
Through the years, Kindervelt 76members have raised funds by inno-vating creative, community projectsfor our neighbors to enjoy. It isKindervelt’s mission to “have funwhile raising funds” for CincinnatiChildren’s. The Terrace Park chapterhas sponsored several communityevents such as Santa breakfasts, lumi-naria sales, bike-a-thons, and egghunts for families in the village.Other adult fundraisers have includedwine tastings, Mardi Gras galas,ladies’ day events, golf outings, cook-book sales and Party On Ice. Thechapter has also contributed hand-
crafted items to Kinderklaus Markt, acity wide craft show.
On the Village Green in March2009, we hosted the 24th annual com-munity Easter egg hunt. Neighborsand friends gathered to watch childrenhunt for eggs and participate in fun,spring activities. The Easter Bunnyarrived at the event on a Terrace Parkfire engine to pose for photos withfamilies. The children also enjoyedpony rides, an inflatable to jump in,balloon animal creations, crafts, andface painting. Several sixth-gradestudents from Terrace ParkElementary volunteered their time tohelp with the activities.
In late June, Kindervelt 76 hostedits 8th annual Ladies’ Day at theTerrace Park Swim Club. For thisevent, the community pool is open onlyto ticket-holders between 11 am until 3pm. Ladies get an opportunity tolounge by the pool, enjoy a deliciouscatered lunch, shop various vendorsand try their luck at a spectacular raffleall supporting Cincinnati Children’s.
Dr. John Rockaway, 720 Elm, receivedthe Terrace Park High School 2010Alumni of the Year Award at the AllClass Reunion Dinner on June 5 at theTerrace Park Country Club. Rockawaygraduated from Terrace Park HighSchool in 1956, one year before theschool closed its doors. He was joinedby his wife Linda.
“Basically TPHS provided a greateducation academically, with goodteachers who were interested in havingtheir students do well," Rockawaysaid. In addition, it was a small enoughschool so that we all could participatein and have opportunities for leader-ship in a broad range of activities: ath-letic, various student organizationsand ‘unofficial’ clubs, and thirdly, wehad a close enough student body thatwe were all able to form friendshipsthat have lasted all of our lives. As faras life in TP, it is just that it was and isa great place to grow up. In fact, eventhough it took us something like 40years to do it, Linda and I liked TP sowell that we moved back here at thefirst opportunity.”

month, we heard back from him:"I did receive the Village Views
and read every bit of it with greatinterest....including the advertise-ments. Ellis Rawnsley would approveof the way in which it has evolved, "Payne wrote.
"TP is a very special place. Bothof our girls were so influenced by thewonderful environment that they triedto replicate it in their first home pur-chases. Hannah lives in SummitNJ...sidewalks abound and the kidscan walk to school without escorts inRange Rovers. Two weeks ago Sarahbought her first home in Palo
Alto....sidewalks...proximity toschools and parks drove the decision.Susan and I prefer isolation and theamount of acreage which Connecticutaffords, but we agreed that it is noplace for children.
Let me know how I can be of helpto TPHS, please.All good wishes Bob Payne"
