MONTGOMERY — Anempty building and park-ing lot sit just north ofCrossCountyHighway onMontgomery Road afteryears of discussion be-tween Montgomery offi-cials and developers.
The lot, former homeof a Chevrolet dealership,is owned by HPA Devel-opment Group – the thirdowner in seven years. De-velopment has been at astandstill for a multitudeof reasons, but the mainissue is coming up with aplan thatmeetsMontgom-ery’s building require-ments while makingmon-ey for developers.
“We put in zoning reg-ulations to try and ensure(the site) gets developedinto amulti-useway that’scomplementary withdowntown Montgomery,”saidFrankDavis, commu-nity development direc-tor. “There is a limit onbuilding footprint of nomore than 15,000 squarefeet and not higher thanthree stories.”
Previous plans for thesite would have placed asmany as 13 buildings witha mixture of upscale con-dominiums, office spaceand retail stores on theproperty. Building densi-ty is a concern for the cityand developers becausethe city doesn’t want anoverabundance of build-ings and parking lots, buta lower density meansless profit.

MILFORD — Love andhopewillbeonsaleamongused clothing, books, toys— even crutches – whenthe Showalter family par-ticipates in an upcomingcitywide yard sale.
Chad and Carrie Sho-walter plan to use100 per-centof theproceedsof thesale at their home in Mil-ford Friday, Oct. 4, andSaturday, Oct. 5, to helppay to adopt a newbornchildwhowillbeabrotheror sister to their 7-year-old daughter Isabella.
“Carrie and I believethat adopting ababy is thebest way to complete ourfamily,” Chad Showaltersaid.
“We think that Isabellawill make a great, big sis-ter, and we are lookingforward to caring for an-
other little one.”The Showalters—both
ofwhomhave livedagoodchunkof their lives inMil-ford – have learned thatprivate, domestic new-born adoptions comewitha hefty price tag.
“Knowing that ouradoption will cost some-where between $25,000and $30,000 was over-whelming at first – andstill is,” saidChadShowal-ter, 38, who is director ofmarketing at Watson’s inEvendale.
“So we decided to havea fundraising yard sale tohelp contribute towardthose expenses.”
Carrie Showalter, 36, astay-at-home mom, said,“One day we will be ableto look back at this yardsale and be able to tell ourdaughter or son that thatthe entire communitysupported us in helping
bring her/him into ourfamily.”
The Showalters areworking with AdoptionConnection in AmberleyVillage.
“The adoption processis long, and we are at thevery beginning of ourjourney,” Chad Showaltersaid.
“We have completedthe application necessaryto start the adoption proc-ess and are midwaythrough the home-studyeducation classes.
“Our personal charac-ter references have been
completed by friends andsubmitted,” he said.
The Showalters al-ready have seen the pow-er of asking for a littlehelp from their friends.
“Milford is a close-knitcommunity,” Carrie Sho-walter said.
“When we’ve told ourfriends, neighbors andfamily about our decisionto adopt, they all respon-ded the same way: ‘Howcan we help?’ or ‘Is thereanything we can do?’”
Chad Showalter said14families have alreadycontributed items for the
Showalters to sell Oct. 4and Oct. 5.
“Our basement isquickly filling up with do-nated items,” he said.
The Showalters’ yardsalewill be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.Oct. 4 and Oct. 5 at theirhome at 5555 FallingWood Court in Milford.
If items remain to sell,the Showalters will haveanother yard sale at theirhome from8a.m. to 2 p.m.Saturday, Oct. 12.
Love, hope for sale at yard sale The Showalter family willuse proceeds ofparticipating in Milford'sannual citywide yard saleto help pay to adopt achild. Here are Chad andCarrie Showalter with their7-year-old daughterIsabella.JEANNE HOUCK/THE
A new apartment will im-prove the lives of some IndianHill students.
An apartment area used bystudents in the transition pro-gram at Indian Hill HighSchool has been expanded.
“I think it will make a hugedifference,” said Jami Wall-bank, an intervention special-ist at the high school.
Although a small apartmenthadpreviously usedby the stu-dents, the new one includes afull kitchen and laundry area.
The students can now pre-pare their meals and learnabout nutrition, saidWallbank.
The students have made apasta salad and vegetable piz-za.
They are learning vocation-al and life skills that will bene-fit them after high school, saidWallbank.
The students can take own-ership and pride in their work,she said.
“I like to bake,” said juniorEmily Hellman, adding that inthe past she often prepareditemswithhermother.“We(re-cently) made Rice Krispiestreats.”
Junior David Tripathy ap-preciated the new addition as
well.“We can (now) make some-
thing delicious,” he said. “Thenew kitchen was a good idea.”

INDIAN HILL — – Quick.Not counting Errol Flynn orthe Three Musketeers, namea famous sword fighter.
Didn’t think so.Here’s one for future ref-
erence: Leonard Behrens.The Cincinnati Country
Day School junior landed aspot on the U.S. Junior Na-tional team as a U-17 cadet.The squad includes the top 20young fencers from aroundthe country based on pointsaccumulated during season’sworth of national competi-tion. The cadets compete inAustria Oct. 26 and 27.
While it will be Behrens’first international competi-tion, he has plenty of experi-ence abroad. He was born inJapan and lived in Thailandbefore moving to the Statesnine years ago.
“Leonard is a neat kid andthis is a huge opportunity forhim,” CCD athletic directorTheresa Hirschauer said.“We’re proud of him. Hebrings a lot to the CCD com-munity.”
TheClifton residentbeganfencing as an eighth-graderafter seeing the sport adver-tised at the Clifton Rec Cen-ter. He started there with theCincinnati Fencing Club, buthas since moved on to theSalleduLion (Houseof theLi-on) club in Evendale.
Reachingthe internationalstage took “a lot of lessons,”Behrens said. “You have todrill yourself a lot and getstrategy down. You have tolearn how to set up a pointwith a minimum of risk.
“There’s a lot of condition-ing, too. It’s a fairly intensivesport. You have a lot of equip-ment that’s kind of heavy andyou’re constantly moving.
You have to be in pretty goodshape.”
Behrens plays golf andtennis for CCD, but also com-petesasanequestriananden-joys his under-the-radarwork in fencing.
“I like playing a sport noteveryone knows,” he said.“You can meet a lot of peopleyou probably would nevermeet otherwise.
“Not everyone knows Icompete. Most of (myfriends) who do think it’s apretty neat experience hav-ing a friendwho fences.Mostof them are kind of confused,too.”
Understandably. Fencingis more than just recklessswashbuckling while wear-ing a beekeeper’s helmet.
There are three disci-plines under the generalfencing umbrella – epee, foiland saber. Each has differenttarget areas for scoring.Epee, for example, allowsscoring shots on the entirebody, while foil is limited tothe torso and saber to the up-per body.
In epee and foil, only atouchwith the tip of the bladescores a point, while saberbouts feature scoring withthe edge of the blade as well.
“My best is epee, but I dosomefoil, too, andoccasional-ly saber,” Behrens said.
Pool bouts in tournamentsgo to five touches or threeminutes. Elimination boutsfeature three three-minuterounds with a minute in be-tween and go to 15 touches.Ties are settled in priority –fencing’s version of overtime– a one-minute round of sud-den death.
Behrens is looking for-ward to Austria.
“It’s pretty exciting,” hesaid. “I think it will be a verygood experience.

INDIAN HILL — They are im-plored to move.
It says so on their teamcano-py.
Veteran coach Susan Savagepositions herself at the finish-ing chute of area cross countrymeets and calls her Indian HillHigh School contingent in like afarmer rounding up cattle onthe back 40.
“Moooooooooooooooove!!” iswhat you hear if you’re withinearshot.
Some of the Braves movebetter than others. Over theyears Savage has tutored run-ners of all abilities at IndianHill.
She’s takenaboysteamtothestate meet before; Indian Hilllast won the Cincinnati HillsLeague in 1996. This year,though admittedly behindWyo-ming, she has one of her betterboys teams.
The Braves finished secondat the yearly Centerville Stam-pede behind Oakwood, one ofthe top teams in the state.
“We’re coming together,”
Savage said. “We feel goodabout where we are and what’shappening.”
Indian Hill is led by WellsCoalfleet, Ben Warstler, TrentGeyer, JoeMajchszak, JoshLei-bel, Devin Heffernan and Pat-rick Giroux.
“We have two seniors in thetop seven,” Savage said. “Josh(Leibel) and Joe (Majchszak)are team captains.”
Coalfleet, often sportingshades and the free spirit of amotorcyclist (he rides), had the
sixth-best time in the CHL atpresstime.
“Wells, Trent (Geyer) andBen (Warstler) go back andforth,” Savage said. “The pastfew weeks it’s been Wells. Hehas a little more of a kick thanthe other two. They run in apack. They try to stay togetherfor as long as they can. It’s beenpretty successful for us.”

practices and asked tohave players’ meetingbefore the season. Notonly did the kid run themeeting - coming in pre-pared with five pages ofnotes on goals, expecta-tions and supportingscripturetogowith itall –he made sure to e-mailteammates’ parents tomake sure they knewtheir sons would be a lit-tle late getting home.
“Now that’s just un-heard of,” Taylor said.“But that’s the kind ofleader and player he’sbeen for us all fouryears.”
So maybe it’s not sur-prising to discoverMarsh gives others a lotof credit for his successand gaudy statistics,which through the firstfour games of the seasonincluded seven touch-
SYMMES TWP. — Hiscoaches call him “TheProfessor.”
With good reason. Cin-cinnati Hills ChristianAcademy senior NickMarsh carries betterthanafour-pointacadem-ic average with a sched-ule featuring AP govern-ment, AP microeconom-ics, AP statistics and APenvironmental science.
To say nothing ofwhatthe Marsh called his bestsubject - honors English -wherehereadssuch lightfare as Dante’s Inferno.
Andwhile it is a Chris-tian school, Marsh is ahell of a weapon as a two-way player for head foot-ball coach Eric Taylor.
Marsh leads the teamin rushing yards as a run-ning back and is secondon the team in sacks atlinebacker.
“And that’s with himonly playing part time onoffense,” Taylor said.“Wehave togethimsomerest somewhere, and wecan’t afford to give it tohim on defense, so hereally splits time at run-ning back.
“He’s a high-motorkid. He doesn’t stop. He’srelentless. It’s not justfootball. It’s in theweightroom. It’s in his studies.It’s in his other sports.That’s hismakeup.He’s agreat leader.”
Taylor tells a story ofMarsh’s freshman yearwhen he came to thecoach during summer
downs and a 6.4-yards-per-carry average on of-fense and 19 sacks on de-fense.
“Up front has reallybeen great,” Marsh said.“Our line on both sides ofthe ball has been verygood. They’ve opened alot of holes for me to runand they’ve occupied alot of linemen going theother way that let me getto the quarterback.”
Marsh said the latteris especially fun.
“That’s probably oneof the best feelings youcan have on the footballfield at linebacker,” hesaid. “When you can getto the quarterback orwhen a receiver comesacross the middle andyou can just hit himhard.
“As far as collegegoes, I’ve been recruited(by mostly NCAA Divi-
sionI-AAandDivisionIIIschools) more on the de-fensive side.”
More than the hitting,Marsh said he enjoys therelationships he’s builtsince taking up footballin fifth grade. He liveswithin walking distanceof the school – often go-ing home for lunch,thanks to a senior off-campus privilege – andCHCA is just as close tohis heart.
“I’ve been with mybest friends in the worldon the football field sincefifth grade,” he said.“We’ve experienced a lotof success. We want tokeep working togetherand experience somemore in our last year to-gether.”

“The girls are goodtoo,” Savage said of herLady Braves.
Actually, Indian Hill’sgirls have had more re-cent success than theguys taking the last twoCHL titles.
Senior Elena Horton isback this year and ownsthe league’s best time. Ayear ago, she missed thepostseason for an oppor-tunity to play hockey inVermont.
“She’ll be here,” Sav-age said. “She’s finishingthe season. We’ll be at 100percent.We’reprettyhap-py.”
Horton is followed byher sister, Rhian, KelliGerlinger, MacKenzieOwens and Sabrina Bulasin the league’s top 10.
“Sabrina Bulas, whowe lost last year with a
stress fracture, is runningreally, really well,” Sav-age said.

As for the sisters, Ele-na’s experience is still anotch ahead of Rhian’s.Particularly, in terms of“mixingitup”ontightcor-ners.

A t the current time ourboard is proposingseveral changes thatwill alter the chemis-
try thathasbeenapartof theIn-dian Hill School District long
before I beganmy career.These changeswill discouragetalented educa-tors in the fu-ture from dedi-cating a careertoward thechildren of In-dian Hill as wehave in thepast.
Teachingyour children is not like work-ing on an assembly line. Teach-ing is every bit an art as it is ascience.
Incomparison, asparentswetend to make better and moreinformed decisions concerningourchildrenaswegainparentalexperience.
It is the same with teaching,and veteran teachers have hadexperience with hundreds andthousands of students.
I have taught at Indian Hillfor 23 years and I have seenmany things changeduring thattime.
At the onset of my career atIndianHill Iwas fortunate to beinfluenced by several masterteachers such as MeredithLoughran, 40 years high schoolsocial studies, and BobWest, 31years in English, to name buttwo. They set an example on adaily basis how this job shouldbe done and I wanted to be assuccessful as they were.
That competitive nature isindicative of the cultureamongst the staff. It is a cultureof high achievement and excel-lence. Excellence breeds excel-lence and it is highly dependentupon experience.
Throughout the manychanges that have occurred,one overwhelming constant has
always been our staff’s unwa-vering pursuit of providing In-dian Hill’s children with thebest possible educational expe-rience.
Across the district, we con-tinually strive to help make ourstudents become the best ver-sion of themselves. This is avery emotional task and onethat we teachers take very seri-ously.
By all accounts, it wouldseem that we have been doinganoutstandingjob.Forexamplein the past year alone all of ourschools had all-time high testscores invariouscategoriesandourdistrict achievedanall-timehighPerformanceIndexof111.5(No. 3 in the state).
However, based on recentschool board proposals, theboard members don’t seem toview these results that way.
While the board may be wellmeaning, they are mistaken asto the impact their proposalswill haveon theeducationof the
children in this school district.I urge you to become in-
formed on these changes theschool board is proposing.While they may be well inten-tioned the unintended conse-quences will be devastating toone of the best school districtsin thestateofOhio. Itwill leadtoa general decline in the experi-ence that the children of thiscommunity receive throughouttheir schooling.
Innovating for the sake of in-novating is not smart. Whensomething is working well, youdo not want to make majorchanges. (For example, “NewCoke” for Coca Cola.)
Indian Hill School District ishighperforming in allmeasure-able ways, andmore important-ly, in many ways that are diffi-cult to measure. The entirecommunity benefits from this.

School board mistaken on proposal’s impact

Last week’s questionShould college athletes be
paid? If so,nowmuch? Ifnot,whynot?
“College athletes should re-ceive scholarships and stipendsfor play. A large percentage ofplayers come from low-incomefamilies that cannot financiallysupport the athletes.
“The scholarships do not in-clude extra money for daily ex-penses. As a result, a number ofplayers in recent times have re-sorted to selling awards, auto-graphs and accepting cars andother favors because they haveno money.
“I do appreciate that com-mon sense and good judgementalso play a role. However, howmany readers of the could sur-vive on no income?
“We all know that athletescannot not get jobs duringschool due to the demands ontheir schedules for training,practice andplaying locally andacross country – and thenthere’s studying, attendingclasses and homework.
“Come on, we all enjoywatching them perform and es-pecially winning. Let’s pay ourcollege athletes!”
E.E.C.
“Yes, I believe athletes whoare requested to spend a stipu-lated number of days each yearon campus or at a facility desig-nated for athletic games/train-ing should be paid a stipend fortheir time. The stipend should
be uniform for each sport anddesigned to cover expenses notpaid by the college/university.
“Today’s athletes in somesports do not have summers tothemselves during which theycan earn extra spendingmoney.Many are from homes wheremoney is in short supply. Thisstipend should cover recrea-tion, food and, books which arenot furnished by their school.
“As a non-athlete attendingcollege from a poor home I re-membermany dayswhere I ex-isted on one candy bar all day inorder to have bus fare for mytrip home. I can understandwhysomekids are forced to selltheir jerseys in order to pay fora weekend date.
“Sure, they get a free educa-tion that others pay dearly for,but their life should not be thatof a total drudger. And, need Imention the money they bringin at some schools.
“Because some schools losemoneyonathletics, topayornot
pay should be voluntary and theamount set by theNCAA or oth-er governing sports organiza-tion to which the school be-longs.”
T.J.
“College athletes gettingpaid for field/court perfor-mances? Nope!
“This is part of their educa-tional experience and if anycompensation is granted thatmoves into the professional lev-el, and the pricing of a collegegame or event would be costprohibitive as it is nowwithpro-fessional sports.
“Maybe a reduction on theirtuition maybe, but not compen-sation!”
O.H.R.
“College athletes on scholar-ship already are paid in theform of an education. Problemis they are also very often en-ticed into coming to a certainschool for other reasons than toplay a sport and get an educa-tion – boosters offer bribes ofmoney, sex, and various thingsthey shouldn’t be offering.”
TRog
“Absolutely not! It's not justthat colleges should be placesfor learning and that the U.S.needs to put a higher value onthat thanonsport, though that istrue.
“Wehave seen theNFLcometo an understanding of the dan-gers of concussion to youngplayers, yet in the last 24hours I
heard that one of our local highschool coaches suggested to afreshman quarterback that henot go to the doctor after takinga hit because he would not beable to play for a couple ofweeks. I hope that is not true,but I regret that it probably is.
“The point is that even thecurrent system puts way toomuch pressure on young play-ers, their families and coachestomakedecisionswhicharebadfor their long-termhealth.Mon-ey toplay forcollegewouldonlymake this situation worse.
“High school ball should beabout having fun, but above allabout staying healthy, even ifthat means taking a couple ofweeks off and the teampossiblyloosing a couple of games – sowhat– that'snotnearlyasbadasrisking severe neurologicaldamage which may only showup later in life.
D.R.
“Years ago I was in favor ofpaying the athletes, but I havechangedmymindonthat.Asex-pensive as college is I think thata freeeducation, freemeals andboarding is a pretty good deal.
“I don't think they need newcars and the like, besides that ifthey are that good they willleave in a couple years and thatlittle bit of money they getwouldnot hold them there thereanyway.
“My advice to all college ath-letes would be to stay in collegeand get your degree.”

As the original mother of anadopted adultwithwhomIhavebeen reunited for17 years, I am
writing to en-courage yourreadership tosupport OhioSenate Bill 23and OhioHouse Bill 61.These two im-portant piecesof legislationwill provideadopted Ohio-ans access totheir original
birth certificates (OBC).
It is unbelievable that, unlikemany other states, our govern-ment actively prevents a groupof its citizens from accessingbasic information about them-selves. But by denying Ohioansadopted between 1964 and 1996access to their OBC, our stategovernment denies these peo-ple the right to fundamentalfacts, such as the date andplaceof their birth and the identity oftheir original (birth) parents.
Besides the basic right of Allcitizens to know such informa-tion about themselves, there isanother compelling reason tosupport these bills.
Today, physicians and medi-cal specialists increasingly relyon genetic information andmedical history to diagnose andtreat many diseases. Adopteeswho are denied access to theirOBC are prevented from ob-taining the medical history thatmay save their lives and thelives of their children.
SB 23 and HB 61 will rectifythis grievous wrong and mustbe signed into law. Last spring,the bills received overwhelm-ing support from both theHouse and Senate.
HB 61 passed the House 96-1andSB23passedtheSenateMe-
dicaid, Health and Human Ser-vices Committee 9-0. However,Ohio Senate leadership stalledon bringing the legislation be-fore the full senate for a vote.
Speaking for the vast major-ity of birth parents, I ask foryour help to pass this legisla-tion. We never asked to beshielded from our children.
Archaic laws that sealedadoption records were imposedon our children and on us. Ouradult children deserve theiroriginal birth certificates andaccess to vital, personal infor-mation only we can give them.
Readers should contact their
state senators (http://www.ohiosenate.gov/senate/in-dex) and encourage them to ac-tively support these bills thatwill restore the rights of full cit-izenship to all of Ohio’s adoptedadults.
Askyoursenators tourge theSenate president to bring it upfor a vote. If they are allowed tovote, there is no doubt that theSenate will pass the legislationand end this obvious discrimi-nation against our fellow citi-zens.

Wewere in Pennsylva-nia this past weekend forthe Mother Earth NewsFair, where I was a pre-senter. My topic wasBible herbs and foods forvibrant health and lon-gevity, and it was a wellreceived presentationwith lots of interactionwith the participants.
I had several differentkinds of onions on handto talk about since onionsare mentioned in theBook of Numbers andone of the most healthfulveggies. One lady men-tioned that onions plant-ed next to cabbage makegood garden companions,keeping both healthy.Then another personspoke up about potatoes.
“Plant them next tocorn and they’ll both dogreat,” he said. Strangelyenough, that’s how weplanted our onions this
year, not having a cluethey were good for eachother. Maybe that’s whythe onions we dug up forthis German potato saladwere so tasty. And nextyear we’ll plant the pota-toes next to the corn.
Oktoberfest German potato saladThis is as close as I can get to the recipe of my
Germanmother-in-law, Clara. Easy and reallygood. I used red potatoes for this recipe. If youuse baking potatoes, which contain more starch,they will soak up more of the dressing.
8 slices bacon (I used thick sliced), cut into little piecesthen sauteed (save drippings)
1 heaping cup chopped onion1-2 ribs celery, chopped (if they’re real long, use one,more can be added if you like)
2 tablespoons flour2⁄3 cup cider vinegar or to taste1 cup water1⁄3 cup sugar or to tasteSalt and pepperAbout 8 cups sliced cooked potatoes (cook, then sliceinto 1⁄4-inch pieces)
Cook onion and celery in about 4 tablespoonsbacon drippings until tender, but don’t let onionbrown. Celery may still be crisp. Sprinkle flourover and blend. Mixture may be a bit lumpy. Addvinegar and water and cook, stirring until bubblyand slightly thick. Stir in sugar, cook about 5minutes or so. Stir in potatoes and bacon, heatthrough, stirring to coat potatoes. Season. Servewarm or room temperature. May be made a cou-ple days ahead.
Slaw stuffed peppersFor the Eastern Hills Journal and Price Hill
Press readers who remembered buying these atlocal delis. This recipe is over 30 years old and isfrom a Farm Journal cookbook, so it should beauthentic. You can cut it in half. And does any-body besides me remember calling bell peppers“mangoes?!”
12 whole green bell peppers4 quarts water1⁄4 cup salt2 medium heads cabbage, finely shredded1⁄4 cup salt4 oz. pimentos, diced51⁄4 cups sugar6 cups water6 cups cider vinegar11⁄2 teaspoons whole cloves5 sticks cinnamon11⁄2 tablespoons whole allspice11⁄2 teaspoons salt
Slice tops off peppers and remove seeds. Soakovernight in solution of 4 quarts water and 1⁄4 cupsalt. Drain. Combine cabbage and 1⁄4 cup salt andlet stand overnight. Drain well. Mix pimentos andcabbage. Fill peppers. Tie tops on with thread.Put in 8-quart crock. Combine sugar, water, vine-gar and spices in big pan. Bring to a boil and cook10 minutes. Pour hot solution over peppers andweigh them down. Marinate at least 1week atroom temperature. To serve, cut peppers in quar-ters.
Readers want to knowFluffy meringue: “If a little bit of egg yolk gets
into my whites when I make meringue, and if I re-move it, will the whites still whip up?”
This is a tricky one. If there’s just a teeny bit ofyolk and you can get it all out, the whites seem tobeat up fine. But I would only do that if I had noother eggs. And it may not work in all recipes. Eggwhites must be completely fat-free to whip properly.And the bowl you whip them in should be, too. Whenin doubt, wipe out the bowl with a bit of vinegar toremove any traces of fat, rinse and dry. You’ll getbetter volume with room temperature whites.

Christine Parker, own-er of Creativities andMa-deira resident, wants Ma-deira City Council to ex-ploreways the houses canbe modified to be moreuseable for businessesand drive more revenuefor the city. Creativitiesoccupies the Muchmorehouse.
She brought a visualrepresentation showingone possibility, a connec-tor between the twohouses that also utilizesthe green space aroundthe homes for residentsenjoyment.
Parker hopes to makethose buildings the baseforherbusiness as sheex-pands in the future.
“The city can makemoney from these build-ings,” Parker said. “Theyhaven’t been utilizedproperly.
“Moving them to loca-tions well off the beatenpath with little parkingwill render them far lesseconomically viable. “
Adeal between the cityand a developer to bring aPaxton’s Bar & Grill todowntownMadeirawouldinclude moving the twohomes.
That deal is on hold be-cause of a lawsuit filedbyresident Jim Horwitz al-leging the city violated
executive session criteriaand failed to have a com-petitive-bidding processto sell public land.
The city is filing a re-sponse to the law suit andno date has been set forthe first hearing inHamil-ton County
City officials say thatthe homes are in a poorstateofdisrepairandade-cision needs to be madeabout what to do withthem.
Vice Mayor Tim Dickeand members of the pub-lic works committee did awalk through of the twohomes and the railroaddepot lastweek and founda multitude of repairsneeded in the homes.
The foundations needto be repaired and roofsneed to be redone amongother things, Dicke said.
He also emphasizedthe importance for citycouncil to decide what todo with the buildingssooner rather than later.
“I want to see thesebuildings around whenI’minmy90s,”Dickesaid.“I’m not sure what futurecouncils will do.”
Parker disagrees withDicke’s appraisal of theMuchmore House and en-couraged city officials tobring in professionals toassess their conditions.
She said the houses arein great shape for theirage.
“I believe the Much-more House is an archi-tectural gem,” Parkersaid. “I love those housesand I believe they are tre-mendous assets for the
city.”The two homes haven’t
been properly utilized,Parker said, because theycan be money makers forthe city instead of a drainon the budget.
Earlier this year Park-er approached councilsaying the city needed tobe a hub for unique busi-nesses that would attractcustomers to Madeira.She also said her businesshas grown 80 percentover the last year and sheneeds to expand.
While she would like tostay in Madeira, Parkersaid she is already lookingat other locations for ex-pansion.
The plan to expand tothe second home wouldmean the Madeira Wom-an’s Club’s Clothes Closetwould have to vacate theHosbrook House. Work-ers at the Clothes Closetdeclined to comment onthe situation.
