Friends and Neighbors of North Avondale:
Com·mu·ni·ty - a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
I’m so proud of how our neighborhood has come together in so many ways this summer as a community through multiple events that were heavily attended by all that live here as well as coming together passionately to overcome challenges that many of us felt may try to alter everything that so many of us have worked towards over the years.
In my 20+ years in North Avondale, I can’t remember a time when the feeling of fellowship has been stronger because I believe almost all of us in North Avondale share common attitudes interests and goals.

North Avondale Litter Report
Hey neighbors –
I wanted to thank everyone that came out to our Reading Road Cleanup at the end of July. We had fifteen volunteers including seven children and it was lovely seeing kids getting out and cleaning up! Judicial candidate Elizabeth Tye stopped by and did the Dana-Clinton Springs-Reading triangle with her husband. It was great to see a political candidate that lives and volunteers in our neighborhood! After consolidating the bags, we collected around seven 30-gallon bags of trash which is a pretty good haul. Some of the volunteers took home Don’t Trash the ‘Nati yard signs with them and I also put a few up around Reading – I’ll be honest, it doesn’t seem to have made a dent in how often people litter on Dana and Reading so if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations on how to reduce littering or have more effective clean ups please reach out! Special thanks to Elizabeth Tye, Kevin Bristol, Jolene Struebbe, Jim Miller, Marian Miller, the Wolfenberg Family, the LaNiear Family and Paul Harten.
|
|
Another way that we can reduce litter in North Avondale: moving our cars when the street sweepers come! Not every street in North Avondale has the same street sweeping date so I’m including instructions on how to check your address. Go to http://cagismaps.hamilton-co.org/cincinnatiServices/ServiceSchedules/ and enter your address in the right-hand side text box (pictured right). You’ll then be able to see what day the street sweeper will be on your street and move your car to a driveway or a different street that’s not getting swept that day. Make sure to also tell your neighbors and friends to “Show their pride, move their ride” on street sweeping days! (Not my slogan by the way, that’s straight from the Department of Public Services 😊).
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns via email at [email protected] – I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Your neighborhood Litter Chair, Coral Weigel

NANA Community Gardens
North Avondale gardens are still in bloom. A big thank you to those who volunteer in our community gardens, and to those who have captained our beautiful gardens, some for many years.
|
|
We have 8 gardens that our NANA gardeners maintain. Our garden at the triangle of Clinton Springs and Washington is in need of a captain and volunteers to refurbish and help us transplant plant materials. The committee and nearby residents would be appreciative of any help you might be able to provide. We have a new plan for this garden and hope to get started this fall, if we have volunteers to assist.
Please put October 23, 2021 on your calendar as a workday in our gardens – more information to follow.
Please reply to our email [email protected] if you are able to work in our Washington Triangle garden. Judy Evans, NANA Community Gardens

September 2021 NANA Featured Garden- 413 E Mitchell Avenue
Welcome to the backyard patio at 413 E. Mitchell Ave, at the corner of Lowry and Mitchell Avenue, and home of Michael Marsh and Melvina Chapman. Mike and Melvina moved to North Avondale 16 years ago from Walnut Hills and didn’t even know their new home had a back yard when they moved in. There was a very small patio and seating area and lots of very tall (10 foot high) honeysuckle. Mike wanted more places to sit, so they began cleaning out and enlarging the space. In 2018 they redid the hardscape by having these three-dimensional pavers installed.
|
|
In addition, they choose all of their plants by themselves. These include: crimson pygmy barberry, moon shadow euonymus, Japanese barberry, Green Velvet and Winter Gem boxwoods, Colorado Blue Spruce, dwarf red oak, Montgomery dwarf spruce, and purple leaf sand cherry to name a few!
|
|
This generous space is perfect for hosting large gatherings, but still feels intimate. In fact, neighbors on Park, Dickson, and Lowry were treated to the space when Mike hosted the Lowry Street Block Party recently. As a fellow conifer lover, this garden caught my eye. Be sure to slow down when you are out for a drive and take a look!

DEVELOPMENT
Rupel House - 3864 Reading Road
We met with members of the Port last week for an update on 3864 Reading Road. No agreements have been signed as of that time. They will keep us informed on any forthcoming activity. Rosemary’s Babies Company has also reached out to NANA and the NA JSDC seeking further community engagement. To view the letter we received from them, Click Here
The NA JSDC will reach out to City of Cincinnati Administration and ask for a representative to join in an upcoming NANA meeting to explain the purchase and community engagement process for the property. Our understating through the Port is that the City will have the final say on sale of the property after any Port purchase requirements have been met. North Avondale will be engaged for the City purchase approval process and we will also involve any potential purchaser in that discussion.
Jeff Herr and Beth Ewing on behalf of the NA Joint Strategic Development Committee

LAW& SAFETY
Update: Double STOP signs have been painted at the new "all stop" area, Clinton Springs and E. Mitchell. The city is going to change the corner near the stop sign to make it a sharper L shape, so it's more difficult to roll through. The message board is going to take a while to receive. There is a global shortage of LED lights.

Clinton Springs Bump outs were installed at Clinton Springs/Leyman, Clinton Springs/Dickson. Bump Outs are added to intersections to narrow the crossing distance for pedestrians & encourages the drivers to slow down. They are great but there have been some complaints because it is hard to see at night and cars have gone over the curb where it comes out into the road. (see the image) As a result, we have requested the City help solve this problem with curb reflectors or an other alternative to solve the problem.

●Updates to the Rose Hill, Beechwood, Betula, Red Bud Ave/Place, and Avon Fields Lane/Place Neighborhood Directory are now complete. This project began in April and has taken about 5 months to execute. During that time, my committee has figured out how to get a new map of the neighborhood from the Auditor's office, complete with household names, and has canvassed all 184 households in this part of North Avondale. We are so pleased to report that of the 178 occupied homes, we achieved a 93% response rate! And, all but 5 of these households provided email addresses, so we now have a very up to date network to keep neighbors on top of things! Other data that was collected included cell phone numbers, landline numbers and names and ages of children under 19 living at home. Printed directories and maps will be available at the block party on September 18 and emailed invitations for that event will be the first use of the updated directory information.
I would like to extend a warm thanks to my very dedicated committee: Mike Huber (excel spreadsheet master extraordinaire), Kim Hubbard (super duper canvasser), Carol Trainor and Lois Nizny and our additional canvassers: Jim Miller, Marian Pitcairn, Stacy Tilford and Tracy Connor. We could not have done this without the help of everyone!

●Because the neighborhood was addressing the potential rezoning of 3980 Rose Hill Avenue and has experienced burdensome but essential water line repairs, I have hesitated to point out one problem Richard and I have encountered for some time - dog poop left on the sidewalks and in the grass. This morning there was a large poop on the walk in front of our driveway, reminding me to speak up. Even owners of small dogs need to be reminded that a tiny bit of poop imbedded in the soles of one’s shoes is extremely annoying.
Most dog owners who live on the Rose Hill-Beechwood circle are responsible citizens and dog owners. The few who aren’t may not even live in the neighborhood.
In addition to the need to remind dog owners to pick up dog poop, they should probably be reminded that dogs require updated licenses and vaccinations (esp. for rabies). Perhaps if there is sufficient support from the community, NANA could invest in dog poop bags and holders for them.
Best regards,
Judy Harmony (Rose Hill Avenue)

●Zoning Issues
I call upon NANA to learn why SF 20 zoning permits the "family" option to exist and how to have it eliminated as it is a timebomb that can destroy any Cincinnati single-family neighborhood.
Currently, SF 20 use is limited to a family (of whatever size) plus 4 people unrelated by blood or marriage (ie strangers) plus one renter. I assume that means unrelated to the property owner.
The "family" option permits not more than 10 (Catholic) nuns or monks (who by definition live in a monastery), expanded to include priests or 10 people over the age of 60 to purchase/occupy a single- family property.
And why is Cincinnati zoning code permitting any reference/special opportunity for any "religious" group.? That should no longer be the business of Cincinnati government, started long ago.
I have submitted my views on this matter, NANA must push for change BUT not until after November Council election. It is unlikely to gain any support before then.
Thank you,
Mel Nizny, MD (Rose Hill)

●Cincinnati residents can receive a free tree this fall through the Fall ReLeaf program. Through support from the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, Macy’s, and MadTree Brewing. Nine species of tree are available, each worth $75.
According to the Park Board, the program was first established "to provide shade trees for homeowners whose curb lawns were too narrow for tree planting or with overhead utility lines. The program has blossomed to include community and school involvement, a more diverse tree species selection and backyard planting."
Trees can be planted anywhere in your yard except between the street and sidewalk. If you don’t know what sort of tree is best suited to your space, the City’s Department of Urban Forestry will advise you – just call 513.861.9070.
Applications are being accepted now (you MUST know the first three numbers of your parcel ID number, which is on your tax bill or online through the County Auditor’s Office) and the trees will be available for pickup Oct. 23 and 24 at MadTree in Oakley, or Oct. 25 from the Park Board. Residents of the neighborhoods with the fewest trees (North Avondale is not one) get first dibs, but trees are available as long as supplies last. For information or to apply click here

● Carol Joyce Harten, 90, of North Avondale passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family and loved ones on July 6, 2021 after a long illness. Carol was born on February 22, 1931 to William and Dorothy Hinds in Silverton, Ohio. After graduating from Regina High School, Norwood, Ohio, she studied at the College of Mount St. Joseph, graduating in 1953. Later in life she earned her Master of Community Planning degree in 1969 and a Doctorate of Education in 1982 from the University of Cincinnati. Carol was an amazing woman who raised eight children and provided a home for many others while teaching full-time at UC and completing her advanced degrees. All who knew her were made to feel special and exceptional. She was a strong mentor and leader to family, friends and community. She is survived by her husband, Raymond David Harten and her eight children, Mary Teresa Harten (Frank Newbauer), John P. Harten (Emily), Paul F. Harten (Amy), Sarah H. Koucky (Walter), Thomas D. Harten (Annamarie), Maura H. Wolf (J. Miles), Jennifer A. Harten and Christopher D. Harten (Allison). She leaves behind twenty-two grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. During Carol's career she served as the interim Dean of the College of Community Services, directed the Department of Community Planning/Administration, and served as Associate Director of the School of Planning. As Associate Professor, Carol participated in the Sister City Health Care Exchange with Kharkov, Ukraine in 1991. Carol served as President, Cincinnati Catholic Women's Association, 1998-2000; 2003-2005 and President, Woman's Club of the University of Cincinnati, 2000-2001; 2009-2010. Carol retired in 1992 as Associate Professor Emerita of Health Planning/Administration after 23 as a faculty member and academic administrator. Her final years were spent focused on family and civic activities. She helped two sons with the revival of Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant, and loved spending time with friends and family at her Rocky Fork Lake House. A Celebration of Life service was held at Bellarmine Chapel on Saturday, July 10th at 1:00 pm.

LIBRARIES & RECREATION
●I Love My Librarian Award
|
|
During the Aug. 10 meeting of the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library Board of Trustees, board members agreed to end the practice of issuing fines for overdue items. Fines for late items had previously been suspended at the start of the pandemic, and then this practice was later extended through 2020 by the Library Board of Trustees. This latest decision makes the suspension of late fines permanent, with a few important changes customers need to know about. This change goes into effect Sept. 26, 2021.
Details about borrowing Library materials can be found in our online FAQ, but some key points are:
- Reminders to customers that their item is overdue are sent by phone, text, or email at five days and 12 days overdue.
- At 30 days overdue, customers receive a bill for items that have not been returned and have been classified as “lost.” Previously, customers did not receive a bill until an item was overdue for 45 days.
- The Library locks a customer’s account if any item is 12 days overdue, meaning no additional print items can be checked out until either the overdue item is returned or the customer has paid the replacement fee for it.
- Once unpaid replacement fees reach $50 and remain at $50 or above for 30 days or longer, customers are referred to a collection agency.
These changes do not apply to library cards that have never had late fees associated with them, such as Child-Only, Teen-Only, Adult-Only, Educator, and Book Club cards.

●Sorting, tracing, scrubbing, exploring and puzzling – and that's just the first day!
Students in our (3-6) program have begun the year in a flurry of activity. The Montessori works on the shelves provide numerous opportunities for children to develop fine motor strength, a deep understanding of math, various degrees of sorting objects and solving puzzles. Students not only learn countries' shapes and where they are located on a map, but they also learn about the flora, fauna, exports, customs and culture as well.
Each day, children spend a significant amount of time exploring the outdoors, where they learn the practical properties of physics by climbing small trees, running within the preprimary woods and using the playground equipment and the sandbox to bring their imaginings to life.
