From Willa's Desk August/September 2021 STAFF Community Manager Willa Kalchek Assistant Manager Anna Charron Leasing Professional From Willa’s Desk Jessica Gabbard Well, I think we made it ... It looks as though we have entered the “New Normal” phase of the pandemic. Leasing Professional/ Social Director It’s been a long, hard road, but we have come out Selena West relatively unscathed. I hope we don’t soon forget the struggles so many have gone through, the heroic Service Supervisor efforts of scientists, front line workers and the Paul Engle families that have lost loved ones. Our endurance is Grounds Technicians a true testament to what one can go through and Steve Rancourt & Jeff Frondorf maintain hope for the future. On to current events ... Pub Manager “Happy Days Are Here Again” ... our first get-together Jeff Scavo since February 2020! Our July event was one to behold. Our “Everything We Missed” event had decorations from every party we were unable to have the last 16 months — how much fun is that? It was so great to see all our familiar faces gathered together again. The DJ was at her best and the food ... yum! OFFICE HOURS In August, we will be hosting a Pig Roast. This has always been a Falls’ favorite Monday–Friday: 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and I say, “Bring on the pulled pork and sides.” Music will keep the party Saturday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. hopping and family fun can be had by all. Check out the newsletter inserts Sunday: Noon-5 p.m. for details. In September, we bid a fond farewell to our 2021 pool season with a Dive- In Movie Night.

Happy Birthday AUGUST Cathy Dale, 10th Mary Lou Cieslak, 15th Lisa Burke, 19th Annette Boster, 25th September Neville Stanislaus, 1st Dianne Olcott, 5th Jacob Boutwell, 13th Ann Hamilton, 19th LuAnne Brice, 21st Anna & “Peanut” 3 Steve, Susan and Maycee Pidcock It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Pidcock family. Steve, Susan and Maycee joined our community in October of 2018. They have a 9-year-old “Schnoodle” named Abby. Steve and Susan have been married 31 years. How do they make it last? Setting boundaries, good communication and a strong faith. An adventure to Mt. Rushmore, wow! Vacation to the Smoky Mountains They believe they are stronger together and they would have too much to lose apart. They respect each other and the family they have built. Steve and Susan were originally born and raised in Indiana. They met in junior high and attended the same church. They dated through junior high and high school, then went their semi-separate ways when they attended college. As fate would have it, they met up again when they both attended Ball State University. They dated on and off until Susan was offered a job several hours away from Steve A “close to home” outing and he decided he did not want to wait any longer and popped the question — “If you marry me, will you not take the job?” She said YES! Steve always knew he wanted to be in the health care profession and is currently in the financial end of a hospital institution. He has an hour and a half commute, each way, but prefers it to be home with his family each evening. Susan works in food service for Kings School District which also keeps her available to be home with Maycee after school. What dedicated parents! Steve enjoys video gaming when he has free time while Susan is into James Patterson books, crafting and Facebook. Maycee stays busy with friends and dance classes. She has been taking dance for about 10 years now and hopes to make a career of it. She will be starting her freshman year at Kings High School this year. They look forward to vacations together as a family, and seeing everything the U.S. has to offer. Some of their adventures have taken them to Pigeon Forge, Niagara Falls and lighthouse tours in the Northeast. 4 Covid posed obstacles for the Pidcocks. Steve worked from home but found ways to keep his staff connected, motivated and in good spirits. Great leadership skills ... CHECK! Maycee missed her friends, school and found it challenging to stay focused with Maycee’s future? She has a great virtual classes. The “Abby” — What a cutie! start according to this picture. Pidcock family is glad to see things getting back to normal. I asked each of them what they would do with a million dollars: Maycee would help others, put a lot into savings and redo her room. Susan would pay off bills and build her dream home — preferably a large farm in Kentucky where you can see the mountains. And Steve said he would not change a thing. He loves his life just as it is. I asked them “Why The Falls?” It is beautiful and well-maintained. There is easy access to the interstate for Steve’s long, daily commute. They appreciate the fact that there is no maintenance, other than a call to the Office. The like the diversity of Kings School System. I want to thank Steve, Susan and Maycee for taking the time to meet with me and share their family story. Respectfully, Willa Enjoy the “Wild Life/Wildlife” at The Falls Besides the resident events which can satisfy the adventurous at heart, you can also kick back and enjoy the actual “wildlife” at The Falls. We have everything from ducks/ducklings, geese/goslings, the fish you can catch at the A great picture of our blue ponds, and even Duck, duck ... Goose! heron; thanks, Elizabeth! our resident blue heron. You can relax and listen to the tree frogs or try to catch the elusive lightning bug. Whatever you prefer — you have it here. 5 What’s on Paul’s Mind ... Where does the time go? I cannot believe that we are already heading toward the end of summer and the start of fall. We managed to get the sealcoating finished and I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this project.

  • Burnet Woods Connectivity
    Burnet Woods Connectivity Nicole Dibble Stephanie Godsey Bernadette Riddle Kelly Seibert Victoria Werth Abstract Burnet Woods is a forested park located in Clifton and surrounded on all sides by the University of Cincinnati, Good Samaritan Hospital, the historical Gas Light District, as well as other businesses, restaurants and attractions. The park is extremely underutilized. Over the years it has acquired a negative reputation for being unsafe, unkempt and unorganized. Interest in renovating the park has sparked in the nearby community and local businesses. Unfortunately the different parties cannot come to an agreement on exactly how the park should be renovated. There are some groups in the community that are against the renovation completely. In this paper we will discuss the transit issues inside, outside and in the area around the park. We will determine a compromise in the hopes of satisfying the majority of the wants and needs of all involved parties. In favor of many of the residents, we will preserve the current park atmosphere of a quiet, forested green space while also making improvements to make the park more accessible and visitor friendly. ii Table of Content Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Background………….…………………………………………….…………………………..……….…………..7 Existing……………………...……………………………………….……………………….……….……………..9 Proposal…………………….………………………………………………………………………………….…..14 Case Studies………………………………………………………………………………………………………18 Deliverables………………………………………………………………………………………………………21 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………………………………..22 References………………………………………………………………………………………………………..23 iii Introduction Since 1872 Burnet Woods has served the surrounding neighborhoods as a recreational green space.

  • Carol Ann's Carousel on the Riverfront Opens
    Carol Ann's Carousel on the Riverfront opens Rick Pender, WCPO Contributor 10:18 AM, May 15, 2015 1:03 AM, May 17, 2015 New riverfront attraction draws hundreds of kids. CINCINNATI -- Carol Ann’s Carousel, the central attraction of Smale Riverfront Park, opened Saturday following an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. Rides, which usually will cost $2 for two-and-a-half minutes, are free on the carousel's opening day from 1 to 7 p.m. From noon to 5 p.m., visitors can enjoy free cake and ice cream, as well as street performers and other food vendors. The carousel will be open year-round, though hours will vary by season. Through Labor Day, you can ride 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The carousel is housed in a 70-by-90-foot glass structure built for it at the foot of Vine Street on a tree-lined plaza. Surrounded by playgrounds, a family-sized porch swing, gardens, boat landings, a bike path, restaurants and an event lawn, the playful merry-go-round is named for philanthropist Carol Ann Haile. Haile and her husband, Ralph, left a legacy that has been improving the quality of life in Cincinnati for a decade. "The sparkle, whimsy and pure fun it provides are a direct reflection of Carol’s sparkling personality," said Tim Maloney, the Haile Foundation's president. The carousel was a gift to the Cincinnati Parks Foundation. The carousel project -- figures, paintings, lights and installation -- cost $1 million, and the building housing it cost $4.5 million.

  • Forest Vegetation in Hamilton County, Ohio: a Cluster Analysis and Ordination Study
    FOREST VEGETATION IN HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO: A CLUSTER ANALYSIS AND ORDINATION STUDY William S. Bryant and Michael E. Held † ABSTRACT. —Twenty mature, relatively undisturbed forests in Hamilton County, Ohio were systematically sampled and subjected to cluster analysis. Based on those results eight forest types were identified. These included: silver maple-cottonwood-green ash or black willow on alluvial floodplains; pin oak-red maple in depressions of floodplains; oak-hickory on well- drained slopes >25%; oak-maple-ash on dissected till plains or ridge and slope complexes; mixed mesophytic with tulip poplar on well-drained till plains; mixed mesophytic without tulip poplar on loess or colluvium; maple-ash-beech on residuum, colluvium or well-drained till plains of Illinoian or Wisconsin origin; and beech-maple on lacustrine and loess deposits. Geology, especially the glacial history, soils, topography, and disturbance history appear to influence tree species community patterns. Introduction Dr. E. Lucy Braun began her classic studies of forest ecology in southwestern Ohio, in particular, Hamilton County or the Cincinnati Region (Braun 1916, 1936, 1950). Geologically, Hamilton County is at or near the terminus of the Nebraskan, Kansan, Illinoian, and Wisconsin glacial advances (Ray 1974). Phytogeographically, the county is in Braun’s (1950) Western Mesophytic Forest Region, but near the junction of her Mixed Mesophytic, Oak-Hickory and Beech-Maple Forest Regions or Kuchler’s (1964) Oak-Hickory, Mixed Mesophytic, and Beech-Maple Forests. Braun (1916) and Diehl (1933) considered topography and soils as two of the most important factors in determining forest types and distribution in Hamilton County. However, bedrock geology and the glacial deposits may have a major influence on local vegetation patterns (Braun 1950, Forsyth 1970).
