Strong Start to 2015 Kicks Off Year of Growth and Celebration

Together We Are StrongerThe Renewed Message from the Mason Deerfi eld Chamber of Commerce

Eric HansenCity of Mason Manager

Bill BeckerDeerfi eld TownshipAdministrator

What better way to ring in the new year than with a celebration of Mason’s heritage with our Bicentennial kick off followed by several exciting economic devel-opment announcements?

While commemorating 200 years of progress in our community, it is � tting that we also recognize contin-ued growth and prosperity among our diverse business partners. Focusing on our ongoing commitment to customer service and community wellness, we

have created a culture that is attractive to both new and existing companies. As we commemorate this important milestone, we say THANK YOU, and sincerely acknowledge these iconic Mason organizations for being part

of our heritage, and for helping to build our future. Below are recent economic development announcements:• Assurex Health headquarters expansion: In January, Assurex Health announced it has selected Mason for its expanded headquarters. Set to be

complete in 2016, the new 60,000-square-foot building and campus is expected to be designed to encourage employee wellness and to nurture a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture as the biohealth company continues its rapid growth.

• Mitsubishi Electric Automotive expansion: A long-time partner of the City of Mason, this leading global automotive supplier is adding an $80 million expansion, which includes increasing the company’s existing 500,000-square-foot space by 145,000 square feet and adding 100 new jobs over the next few years.

• Procter & Gamble Beauty Innovation Center relocation: P&G selected Mason’s existing business center campus on Mason-Montgomery Road as the home for its new Beauty Innovation Center. This will bring its Cincinnati-based Beauty technical community together in a creative, dynamic environment that will drive capability and inspire innovation for decades to come. In total this move will bring 1,350 jobs to Mason in the 2018/2019 timeframe, adding to our bioscience cluster. The new facility is expected to be at least a $300 million investment to create approximately 500,000 square feet of new space.

After almost two years of conversations, the Board of Directors of the Chamber voted to move forward with a name change from the Northeast Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce to the Mason Deer� eld Chamber.

The organization was formed in 1968 as the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce by a group of seven downtown Mason businessmen. Chamber leadership decided it was time to have a clear focus and direction to best serve its members, resulting in a new vision to be the catalyst organi-zation that ensures Mason-Deer� eld is a vibrant place to visit, live, and do business.

While the name of the Chamber will drive a more localized focus, the Mason Deer� eld Chamber looks forward to continuing to connect businesses from throughout the greater Cincinnati area. The Chamber continue to be partners with Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, providing a dual membership opportunity for companies located within Warren County that would like to be members of both orga-nizations for the price of one. There are 52 Chambers throughout the greater Cincinnati area and all of them attract and welcome members from all over the region. The value of membership comes from the bene� ts the Chamber provides and the relationships you can build through its strong networks.

The Mason Deer� eld Chamber has identi� ed three objectives that will be ongoing at the organization:

1. To enhance economic development eff orts in the Mason-Deerfi eld areaHaving this new localized focus will allow the Chamber to enhance the region’s quality of life through collaborative partnerships. With all of the new growth in the area, the Chamber recognizes the need to enhance the efforts driving the growth. The Chamber is made up of a credible business network that new residents will need to be aware of, from housing, schools, and dining to shopping, health care, and more. Positioning the area for prosperity through the Chamber is beginning with the rebranding and renewed focus of the Chamber, and will transition to a diversi� cation of governance structure to assist economic development efforts in Mason and Deer� eld Township.

2. Advocate for a strong business climate through eff ective and effi cient governmentChambers of Commerce were formed on the basis of providing businesses the opportunity to have a voice outside of local government. Considering this is the root of their existence, the Chamber doesn’t take this one lightly. Having a name and focus as vague as Northeast Cincinnati created an extreme challenge when striving for a focus on local government efforts. In the coming months, the Chamber will be reestablishing a new Gov-ernment Affairs team speci� cally driven towards Mason and Deer� eld Township needs. The Chamber will continue to maintain a strong regional presence and focus at the Warren County level through the Warren County Chamber Alliance.

Max McDonald

David and Joshua Honda

Giving Back to the CommunityMcDonald

Max is a fresh-man attending Mason High School. Max and his family have lived in Mason since 2001. Outside of his Scouting activities, Max enjoys running, biking, reading, history, being with friends, traveling, eating, and learning new things. What was the biggest challenge you faced with your Eagle Scout community project?Making sure that everyone did their assigned task correctly and that everyone always had a task to do. I overcame this diffi culty by using a few Scouts to oversee that tasks were performed correctly. As the project progressed, it was easier to keep everyone busy.Why did you decide to become a Scout?I knew the values reinforced and skills taught in Scouting could be used throughout my life. My parents fi rst got me interested in Scouting when they signed me up for Cub Scouts in 1st grade.What is your fondest memory of Scouting? One backpacking trip when my fellow patrol mem-bers and I were watching the sunset on the horizon after a long hike.What would you say to encourage others to try Scouting?You really do have a blast and learn valuable life skills. Ignore the common stereotypes and rumors from other people about Scouting. Scouting prepares you for life.

David and Joshua Honda are juniors at Mason High school. They have lived in Mason 16 years. David is currently interested in the medical fi eld and considering it as a fi eld of study in college. Joshua is interested in chemistry and material sciences. What was the biggest challenge you faced with your Eagle Scout community project?David and Joshua: The biggest challenge was organizing the volunteer work force each week when many volunteers had other commitments. We solved this challenge by contacting the volunteers well in advance to avoid further planning confl icts and when necessary we stayed beyond the prescheduled hours to get the work completed.Why did you decide to become a Scout?David: I was involved in Cub Scouts when I was younger. I enjoyed camping and the fun activities. As Cub Scouts we were invited to the Scout award ceremonies where we saw slideshows of the highlights from recent camping trips and Scouts shared their stories. Everyone looked like they were having so much fun and their experiences sounded amazing. I was encouraged by many Scout leaders and friends to continue in Scouts. Joshua: When I was 8 years old, I joined the Cub Scouts and progressed into the Boy Scouts. I observed my oldest brother become an Eagle Scout and heard his stories and adventures while camping. I joined Scouting to create my own memories and adventures. I plan on continuing in Scouting until I’m 18. I believe Scouting will give me the skills to become a great husband and father. It seems to me that Scouting teaches boys how to prepare for life. What is your fondest memory of Scouting? David: My fondest memory in Scouting is my second year of attending Scout camp at Chief Logan Reservation. During that week I earned seven merit badges while still fi nding time to relax and have tons of fun. I spent a lot of time at the archery range with the counselors. That year my friend and I received awards for being “true Scouts and always serving and helping others.” Even the ride home from camp was fun.Joshua: My fondest memory from my Scouting experience would be the fi rst time I went camping with my troop. Mom fretted over the fact that I might not have enough food, gear, and soap. Our bunks were located in a small old building that smelled like smoke with windows that never seemed to stay in their sills. Pinned above the doorway of the Scout leaders’ room were four “skinned” beanie baby animals. As the night progressed we made a fi re in the fi replace and learned how to make peach cobbler in a dutch oven. After dessert we sat around the fi re place and played campfi re games. In the morning we ate scrambled eggs, pancakes, and bacon. After breakfast we went rappelling. That day was full of thrilling, heart stopping moments as we had to step over the edge of a cliff then walked and jumped down the face of it. That day we rappelled off a 45-foot tall cliff and 120-foot tall cliff next to a waterfall. I don’t think I would have had the opportunity for this experience if it wasn’t for Scouting. What would you say to encourage others to try Scouting?David: Some people have a perception that Boy Scouts are nerdy and lame. I have come to appreciate every moment in my Scouting experience. Scouting can be hard or easy depending on how much you are willing to commit to it. In my Scouting experience I have done many unique things that I might not have been able to otherwise do. I have been white water rafting and kayaking down the New River, rock climbing, rappelling, biked over 40 miles and walked many more, learned to cook, start fi res, apply fi rst aid, plan and organize events. Most importantly, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. The people you meet and the memories that you make are some of the most important and special. Joshua: I would emphasize the most important aspect—work. Making the rank of Eagle is usually long and taxing. The more work and eff ort that they put into scouting, the more memorable experiences and abilities they will fi nd. Work for it.

MASON CITYSCHOOLS

Mason Middle School teacher Martin Fish may have just fi nished his 13th year of teaching, but it’s actually not his fi rst career. Fish practiced law in Downtown Cincinnati for three years before deciding to follow his true passion. He knew he wanted to make a diff erent kind of impact on his community, so Fish left behind a life of law to go back to school for his teaching certifi cation and has been employed with Mason City Schools ever since.

Fish is a 7th grade science teacher at MMS and the Coding & Robotics STEMLAB advisor. With fi nancial support from the Mason Schools Foundation, Fish has been able to create a classroom environment that is innovative and fresh, one in which students learn about STEM in ways that are exciting, interesting, and engaging. He fi rmly believes those in education need to take a good look at what skills students will need for tomorrow, and off er those opportunities to students while they are young.

Fish is married to Middle School Art Teacher Lisa Fish and both are Student Council advisors together at MMS. Marty and Lisa are also the proud parents of three MCS students, Devin, Jason, and Laina, so to say their love of Comet country is strong would be an understatement!

What are the key issues in your mind when it comes to getting students interested in STEM initiatives and careers?

What has been the most surprising aspect of starting the Mason Middle School Coding and Robotics lab?

There’s a constant hum of excitement and passion that permeates your classroom. What is it about coding and robotics that makes your students so into what they are learning?

Today’s students are inherently curious about technology and the digital world around them. The coding and robotics course offers students the opportunity to “pull back the curtain” and poke around a bit to see how things work. Kids to-

day want to create. They take off when presented with interesting problems and engaging tools to solve those problems. At that point, it no longer feels like “learning” and instead feels like a chal-lenge. Add to that an environment where

there are multiple ways to solve a prob-lem and where failure is looked at as just part of the process, and the students feel the freedom to take risks, try something new, and collaborate.

Some models are suggesting that by the year 2020, there will be 1.4 million computer science jobs and only 400,000 graduates to � ll them. That’s a million-job de� cit, meaning companies that could have been the next big thing fail and vi-sions are never realized simply because of a lack of quali� ed talent.

This year, in the United Kingdom, students as young as 5 years old were introduced to coding (computer pro-

gramming) as part of a new, national, computer science curriculum. The BBC announced a month ago that it would be providing up to 1 million UK 7th graders with microcomputers to inspire the next generation of great computer scientists. I honestly worry whether we are beginning to fall behind here in the United States.

I’m certainly not arguing for more edu-cational mandates, but I do think we in ed-ucation need to take a look at what skills

our students will need for tomorrow and offer those opportunities at younger ages. On top of that, STEM is often mischarac-terized as sterile, strict, and unyielding. We need to change that narrative. True STEM can so easily start as play, curiosity, inqui-ry, creativity, and seeking new and better ways to help ourselves and each other. We need to use these ideas and present STEM to our young students in ways that excite, interest, and engage them.

The � rst most surprising aspect of start-ing the Coding and Robotics lab is that the stars even aligned in the � rst place to make it happen. We received amazing � -nancial support from the Mason Schools Foundation. Without that incredible group—and the community who sup-ports them—I’m not sure whether this would have all come together. The class

also required the support of the Admin-istration at Mason Middle School, the Technology Department, Central Of� ces, all the way up to the Mason City Schools Board of Education.

It has also been fantastic to see the stu-dents’ creative and unique approaches to the problems I put in front of them. The surprising part, though, is how often the

students take my challenge, solve it, and then voluntarily choose to do even more. It’s like asking students to build a house and instead they build skyscrapers! I am constantly surprised by the creativity of our students, their willingness to take on new challenges, and the ability to go above and beyond in solving them.

EagleScoutHistoryIn 1911, Boy Scouts of America’s “Handbook for Boys” fi rst introduced the “highest scout merit badge”—the Eagle Scout Award. At fi rst the Eagle was not considered a rank, instead it was considered a special award for earning merit badges and required a total of 21 merit badges. In 1965, the Boy Scout Handbook required Eagle candidates to “plan, develop, and carry out a service project helpful to [his] church or synagogue, school or community”—this special project has become synonymous with the Eagle Scout Award.

Required badges: First Aid Citizenship in the Community Citizenship in the Nation Citizenship in the World Communications Personal Fitness Emergency Preparedness or Lifesaving

Environmental Science Personal Management Swimming, Hiking, or Cycling Camping Family Life

The City of Mason has been fortunate to have bene� tted from several EagleScout projects. Local Scouts David Honda, Joshua Honda, and Max Mc-Donald ful� lled their Eagle Scout commitment.

David Honda spent over 40 weeks planning, coordinating, and con-structing a new handicapped-accessible dock at Pine Hill Lakes Park. The previous dock, constructed in 2004, had become so dilapidated it had to be closed to patrons due to safety concerns. The project included a new guardrail, ramp, and deck, providing a safer, handicapped-accessible deck for all who would like a close view of the lake to � sh, feed the ducks, or just enjoy the scenery.

Joshua Honda’s project involved planning, design, and construction of a new concrete path from the bike path to the main picnic shelter at Pine Hill Lakes Park. The path provides handicapped accessibility to the shel-ter, making it a place for all patrons of the park to enjoy.

Mason Senior Center members now have an outdoor recreational area to enjoy thanks to the efforts of Scout Max McDonald. Max recently in-stalled a new paver brick pad at the side entrance to the Senior Center located at Mason Community Center. The area is complete with a picnic table and grill.

“The projects these Eagle Scouts did for us are needed, useful, and save us time and money,” said Richard Fair, the City of Mason Service Director.

Fair described the work Eagle Scouts have done for the Mason Liberty Elm Tree, which was dedicated in 2011 as a memorial to Mason Veterans.

“Scouts have dedicated an informational plaque near the tree, as well as installed landscaping and two benches. In the future, they can build on this project by adding sidewalks running towards Mason-Mont-gomery Road and Lakeside Drive,” he said. “The Eagle Scouts are re-ceptive and enjoy doing projects that provide a meaningful bene� t to the community. We’ve partnered with them for about � ve years, and each project they complete saves the City about $1,000 to $2,000.”

The City of Mason Police Department Honors Five of Its OwnT

Recently, the City of Mason’s police department honored � ve of its of� cers and one K-9 for their outstanding service and dedication to the community. The awards were presented by Chief of Police Ron Ferrell at a City Council meeting.

“It is an honor to recognize the good work that our of� cers do,” said Ferrell. “They are truly committed to keeping our community and its residents safe and go out of their way to do so each and every day.”

Of� cer Shaffer received the Of� cer of the Year Award for the City of Mason due to his year-long commitment to the police department’s mission, investigating hundreds of police-related incidents with compassion, respect, and care for the com-munity he protects. He also serves on the Warren County Tactical Response Unit (WCTRU), Ma-son Police Honor Guard, and has assisted with instructional courses for security staff at Luxotti-ca, including self-defense techniques.

Of� cer Shaffer also earned his Award of Mer-it on April 21, 2014, when he, along with other members of the WCTRU, were called to South

Lebanon to assist deputies with an armed sub-ject. As Of� cer Schaffer provided security for the advancing Tactical Team Members, he was confronted with a fatal threat. He placed him-self in harm’s way and acted sel� essly to pro-tect his fellow of� cers and nearby community members.

Of� cer Shaffer continues to demonstrate pro-fessionalism and dedication to the Mason Police Department, as evidenced by superior perfor-mance evaluations and documented compliments from his supervisors, various citizens, and other police agency administrators.

Before retiring last year, Of� cer Tanner served on the Mason Police Department for 16 years as a Field Training Of� cer, Of� cer in Charge, and D.A.R.E. Of� cer. He also served on the City of Mason Po-lice Honor Guard, worked as an advisor for Safety Camp, and was involved with Scout Day planning, as well as several other department activities.

Dedicated to providing exceptional service to the community and the department, Of� cer Tan-ner is described as always having an upbeat at-titude and working well with other of� cers and other city department employees. He was also passionate about reaching children in his role as a D.A.R.E. Of� cer.

Of� cers McCormick and Herrlinger were in-strumental to the success of the City of Mason’s 2014 Citizens’ Police Academy, donating their time to help organize and coordinate sessions during this multi-week instructional program. Thirty-three community members participated in the program where they learned about the

role of the police of� cer, use of � rearms, safety, self-defense, patrol duties, crime scene process-ing, public records, drug enforcement, traf� c stops, Operating a Vehicle Impaired, search and seizure, domestic violence, communications, and many other contemporary law enforcement issues and topics.

Timber and Of� cer Walker started their 240 hours of training in March 2007 and upon com-pletion in May 2007, began serving the City of Mason Police Department. Throughout their time with the police department, Timber and Of-� cer Walker have been active on more than 1,200 cases, including tracking multiple suspects (some armed), felons, and lost and missing people.

They have also successfully located narcotics in vehicles, residences, and schools for the Mason Po-

lice Department, as well as other surrounding agen-cies. In addition, Timber and Of� cer Walker regu-larly perform demonstrations for school groups, community functions and the general public. No-tably, due to his in-depth and ongoing training and lots of luck, Timber has never had to resort to using force (biting, if necessary) to apprehend a suspect. Rather, Timber’s presence alone, or simply an-nouncing that he was present and would be used, was enough to get many suspects to surrender.

The best care for your urgent medical needs.

At the Mason City Council meeting held on February 23, 2015, the City’s Fire Department honored Michael Clements with its Citizen Award for Distinguished Service. Nominated by Mason Fire De-partment Deputy Chief Joe Hoying and presented by Mason Fire Chief John Moore, Clements was honored for his ongoing commitment to teaching CPR classes to area residents and his willing-ness to step in anytime to help out the � re department as needed.

Part of Mason’s volunteer � re de-partment in the 1970s and 1980s and a member of Mason’s � rst paramedic team, Clements resumed his volunteer work about � ve years ago when he began pro-viding CPR instructions. Also a volunteer for Mason’s Community Emergency Re-sponse Team (CERT) and an American Heart Association certi� ed CPR instruc-tor, Clements has worked with literally hundreds of residents through his classes over the years.

Deer� eld Township has con-tracted to remove dead ash trees inside the right-of-way (R/W) in several subdivi-

sions throughout Landen this spring and summer. This work must be done due to the infestation of the Emerald Ash Borer, which has signi� cantly damaged the ash trees located inside the public R/W. Un-fortunately, it appears that most, if not all, of the ash trees in Deer� eld Township are dead, dying, or at minimum showing signs of stress and health issues caused by the Emerald Ash Borer. These trees have been determined to be a threat to pedes-trians and vehicles within the R/W, and therefore must be removed.

Deer� eld Township, with the help of The Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources (ODNR), has inspected the street

CPR saves lives.Did you know…?

• Four out of fi ve, or 88 percent, of cardiac arrests occur at home

The City of Mason Fire Department Honors CitizenVolunteer Michael Clements Receives Citizen Award for Years of Dedication to Teaching CPR

“We feel strongly about recognizing the good work people do every day in our community and Michael is no exception. His sel� essness and ongoing commitment to teaching CPR is not only remarkable, it also helps us run our � re department more ef� ciently,” said Bryan Brumagen, Deputy Fire Chief for the City of Mason Fire Department. “We truly appreciate his efforts and he deserves this award.”

“I was totally blown away when I learned that I was receiving this award,” said Clements. “I really was not expecting it. And while the award itself is great, the real pleasure comes from all of the people I have helped. There is really nothing spe-cial about me—I just enjoy volunteering.”

Become a Life-SaverThe City of Mason Fire Department off ers CPR classes every other month at Station 51, 4420 Mason-Montgomery Road, in the community room. Classes are four hours and costs may vary.

trees along the R/W across the entire Township. Our plan is to have all ash trees located within the R/W removed by the project’s conclusion. The Town-ship will also have the stumps removed and restore the disturbed area to normal grade, complete with seeding.

The Township will not be replanting trees within the R/W once they are re-moved. If you have been treating an ash tree along your property frontage, Deer-� eld Township will permit the resident to continue maintaining that tree if they so choose. However, if you choose to keep a tree that you are treating, you will be responsible for maintenance, removal, all costs, and any liability associated with that tree in the future.

We encourage our residents to visit the township website,

www.choosedeer� eld.com, and review our tree policy, FAQ’s, and additional in-formation about the Emerald Ash Borer. If citizens have questions about the ash tree project or policy, they are encouraged to contact the Township Administrative of� ces at 513.701.6958.

As the summer sun beckons you to beach-es, ballgames, gardening, and myriad out-door activities, it’s easy to forget the dan-gers of those powerful rays.

The American Cancer Society reminds us to proceed with caution. One in � ve Americans will get skin cancer at some point, and more than 3.5 million skin can-cers are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

Up to 90 percent of these cancers direct-ly link to sun exposure, says Mason Group Health Dermatologist Asma Ansari, MD.

She says Americans still have a lot of work to do to control skin cancer’s num-ber one preventable risk factor: “People are applying sunscreen—but not as much as they should or as often as they should to get enough protection. And tanning is causing quite a bit of damage, especially among young people.”

Rise in Teen Skin CancersIncreasing skin cancer numbers among young people result mostly from tanning and tanning beds, Dr. Ansari says. Ultra-violet radiation from sun tanning and tanning beds causes mutations of DNA in skin cells. “When you get enough muta-tions, it causes skin cancer.”

Just one indoor tanning session in-creases a user’s chances of developing melanoma by 20 percent, and each ad-ditional session the same year boosts the risk almost another 2 percent.

She continues, “A study last year in the Journal of the American Medical Associa-tion Dermatology showed that more peo-ple actually develop skin cancer because of tanning than develop lung cancer be-cause of smoking.”

Know What to Look ForAbout 80 percent of skin cancers are slow-growing basal cell carcinomas. Bas-al cells are the deepest layer of your out-ermost layer of skin. Look for a spot that is pink, pearly, and shiny, especially on the head, neck, and other areas exposed to sun.

Squamous cell carcinomas, found in the outer skin layer, account for nearly 20 percent of skin cancers. These also ap-pear on the head, neck, backs of hands and other exposed areas. Squamous cell cancer resembles a crusty, scaly, red bump that lasts a month or longer. An irregular spot that grows or bleeds also may signal cancer.

Melanoma is an uncommon but seri-ous cancer that can be cured if caught early, but can be deadly if it spreads to other parts of the body. Pigment cells (called melanocytes) mutate due to ra-diation exposure and become cancerous. Dermatologists use the ABCD test when evaluating skin for melanoma:

• Asymmetry—Does one side have a different shape from the other?

• Border—Are the outer edges of the spot jagged?

• Color—Does it have multiple col-ors—brown, black, red?

• Diameter—Is it larger than the head of a pencil eraser and look abnormal or unusual?

Most skin cancers can be treated with outpatient surgery. Finding them early reduces the amount of damage to the skin and lessens the risk of the cancer spreading.

If melanoma has spread, a dermatol-ogist may recommend removing lymph nodes and administering chemotherapy.

See a dermatologist regularly if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, or if you have other risk factors for melanoma, such as red hair, fair skin, numerous moles, or a history of severe sunburns.

Asma Ansari, MD, practices dermatology with Group Health, a TriHealth Physician Partner, in Mason Community Center, 6010 Mason-Montgomery Road, 513.246.7000.

Five Ways to Protect Your Skin1) Stay in the shade whenever possible, especially

at the sun’s peak hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

2) Avoid tanning indoors or outdoors. This will help prevent premature wrinkling and age spots, as well as cancer. Use tanning lotions or spray tan instead.

3) Wear protective clothing such as broad-brimmed hats, long sleeves and swimming shirts (rash guards), whenever possible.

4) Apply sunscreen thoroughly and frequently—at least every two hours when spending time outdoors. Use at least SPF 30 and reapply immediately after coming out of the water.

5) Check your own skin for unusual spots or sores. See a dermatologist if you notice abnormal growth, bleeding, or skin changes.DDon’t Get Burned

Township Welcomes Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Township Farmer’s Market Rich in Summer’s Bounty

If you’re craving barbeque, you’re in luck! The Township welcomes Dickey’s Barbeque Pit located at 9540 Mason-Montgomery Rd.

This casual dining chain features slow roasted beef brisket, pork ribs, and turkey breast. Guests may choose from traditional sides, including green beans with bacon, coleslaw, or macaroni and cheese. Complimentary ice cream is always on hand, too.

Prices range from $4.50 for sandwiches to $15 for their larger, plated op-tions. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

The District had a busy year in 2014, handling many storm water related concerns and tackling multiple storm sewer repairs and improvements. In 2014, the District contracted for a storm sewer replacement project near Myrtle Avenue which consisted of re-placing over 300 lineal feet of large storm sewer, and construction of several storm sewer catch basins and manholes. The total project cost was $103,000, and was aimed at alleviating private property � ooding in the area, and replacing failed sections of storm sewer.

We anticipate a busy 2015 season as well, as the District has recently bid a storm sewer improvement project for the installation of a 42" culvert under Simpson’s Trace, near the South Cove subdivision. This work is intended to alleviate signi� cant private property � ooding, which has occurred over the past several years. In addition to the culvert installation, crews will make improvements to the existing storm structures, and perform re-grading of the existing drainage channel. During the replacement of this cul-vert, residents should expect a four-to-� ve day closure of Simpson’s Trace. That closure is tentatively sched-uled to take place once school has recessed for the summer break. Additional information and updates about this and many other projects may be found on the Township’s and Storm Water District’s websites.

After serving six years on the Deerfi eld Regional Storm Water District, Mr. Benjamin Yoder resigned his seat on the volunteer Board. Township Trustees and the Storm Water District sincerely thank Mr. Yoder for his years of dedicated service. Mr. Yoder had volunteered as a board member for the District since 2009. We greatly appreciate his eff orts and professionalism during his tenure.

Mr. Yoder’s position has already been fi lled with the recent appointment of township resident Mrs. Julie Byrne. Trustees and the District welcome Julie and look forward to working with her in the future.

If residents have storm water related issues, they are encouraged to contact the Deerfi eld Township Administrative Offi ce, where a representative will evaluate the reported storm water issue on a case-by-case basis. Details about the Storm Water District and the assistance they off er may be found on their website, www.deerfi eldstormwater.com.

Western Row Road Full Interchange Receives

$16.4 Million in FundingMoving Forward with Major Improvements to the I-71 Corridor for Mason and Deerfield TownshipTransportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC) was formed by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to assist in developing a project selection process for all of ODOT’s larg-est investments. The TRAC, chaired by ODOT’s director, also approves major new projects for funding. In February, TRAC awarded $16.4 million to the improvements being planned at the Western Row Road Interchange at I-71. TRAC previously awarded $2.12 million to this project. This is a huge win for Mason and our partners in the area who rely on this access to support their growing day-to-day business activities.

The Warren County Transportation Improvement District (WCTID) is a regional five-member board that works across geographic and political lines to make transportation improve-ments that support economic development in our area. Both the City of Mason and Deerfield Township have representatives who sit on this board. Funding for the projects that the District administers comes from local jurisdictional contributions, such as general revenue from the City of Mason and Tax Increment Financing (TIF), along with Federal and State grants (such as Safety Funds from ODOT and Surface Transportation Program from OKI).

The total project cost for the full interchange at Western Row Road is approximately $40.8 million, which includes design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. TRAC funding is re-sponsible for approximately $18.5 million of the total project costs. The balance will be funded through the City of Mason, WCTID funds, Ohio Department of Transportation’s Safety CMAQ grants, and HB 51, which provides funding for projects administered by TIDs. Construction of interchange improve-ments will be completed in two phases:

• Phase 1, the Columbia Road Relocation, will allow trav-elers to move more easily through the area by improving turn lanes and extending the distance between the I-71 off ramp intersection and Columbia Road. Construction cost for Phase I is approximately $13.0 million and will begin Winter 2015/Spring 2016.

• Phase 2, also known as I-71 Interchange Modifications, will provide full access to and from I-71 in the Western Row area by adding a new exit ramp from southbound I-71 to Innovation Way, as well as the addition of two northbound I-71 on-ramps from Western Row Road. Total project cost is $27.8 million and construction is anticipated to begin 2017.

An additional project—improvements to Kings Island Drive—is being managed by the City of Mason. This project will widen Kings Island Drive to better support incoming traffic off of I-71.

Total project costs are estimated at $5.5 million. Grant funding in the amount of $4.3 million has already been secured and con-struction will begin this summer.

More details about this work can be found at www.Imagine WesternRow.com.

FE-MM—Fields-Ertel & Mason-Montgomery: The improve-ments at Western Row Road are part of an integrated program of improvements that also includes the work you’ve probably already noticed at the I-71 and Fields-Ertel/Mason-Montgom-ery Road Interchange. Construction of the loop ramp—which will allow traffic exiting I-71 north to by-pass the Fields-Ertel and Mason-Montgomery intersection in order to travel north on Mason-Montgomery—is set to be complete by fall of this year. (More information about this work can be found at www.AdvancingFieldsErtel.com.)

It is significant that Western Row Road and Fields Ertel/Mason-Montgomery Road interchanges are being improved now because studies indicate that the Western Row Road im-provements will reduce I-71 southbound off-ramp traffic at Fields-Ertel by 17 percent, and northbound I-71 on-ramp traffic at Fields-Ertel could decrease by as much as 24 percent with the completion of the Western Row Road Improvements.

All of this work is being planned in a phased, integrated sequence that will ease travel, improve safety, and expand ac-cess to the many business, travel, and shopping destinations in the area.

The WCTID is also responsible for several other roadway im-provements that support the local streets leading to and from the interstate. With major changes being made to the interchanges, it


Decorative FenceCommemorates

Mason’s BicentennialMason City Council approved a decorative fence on the Kings Mills Road Bridge where it crosses over I-71 as a means to cel-ebrate Mason’s 200th Birthday. Stantec Consulting completed the � nal design of the decorative fence following the concept developed by BrandingGround of Mason. In October 2014, Mason City Council authorized a contract with M.P. Dory Company in the amount of $448,345 for the construction of the new bridge. M.P. Dory Company is based in Columbus, has

completed several decorative fence projects throughout Ohio. Due to the volume of traf� c on I-71, ODOT requires most of

the work over the traveled lanes to occur at night. The contrac-tor is responsible for setting up the approximate mile of lane closure in each direction on the interstate restricting I-71 to one lane in each direction while work is being performed overhead. In addition there will be lane closures within the on- and off-ramps and lanes on State Route 741. These lane closures will be set up every night that work occurs and taken down prior to 6:00 a.m. the following morning. Some single lane closures will be permitted during the day at ODOT’s discretion. Work is estimated to be completed by June 1.

becomes equally important to make sure roads that help traf� c move to and from the highways also function effectively.

Two local road projects that are fully funded and moving for-ward in this area are the Innovation Way widening project and Socialville-Fosters Road widening project.

The Innovation Way Widening project involves widening the roadway from its current three-lane con� guration to � ve lanes in order to accommodate the new southbound on/off ramps that will tie into Innovation Way, creating a new intersection with a traf� c signal. The Socialville-Fosters Road widening project will

involve a new bridge over I-71, the widening of the road from a two and three-lane roadway section to a � ve-lane section from Innovation Way to Columbia Road, a pedestrian way, as well as a roundabout at Socialville-Fosters Road and Innovation Way. In order to secure favorable pricing, the Innovation Way widen-ing project and the Socialville-Foster Road widening project will likely be bid together with construction anticipated for Winter 2015/Spring 2016.

Take Caution with Summer FloodsFlooding can occur during every season, but some areas of the country are at greater risk at certain times of the year. Coastal areas are at greater risk for � ooding during hurricane season (i.e., June to November), while the Midwest is more at risk in the spring and during heavy summer rains. Ice jams occur in the spring in the Northeast and Northwest. Even the deserts of the Southwest are at risk during the late summer monsoon season.

Flooding happens in every U.S. state and territory. It is par-ticularly important to be prepared for � ooding if you live in a low-lying area near a body of water, such as near a river, stream, or culvert, along a coast, or downstream from a dam or levee.

Make a plan to connect during disasters through text mes-saging, e-mail, social media, or cell phone. Prepare for � ood-ing by knowing your evacuation routes, how you will get there, and where you will stay once you reach safety. Know, too, that six inches of moving water can sweep a human be-ing off their feet, so avoiding moving water is advisable.

As the slogan goes, “when roads are � ooded, Turn Around Don’t Drown®! It may save your life!”

• Intelligrated headquarters expansion: This leading automated material handling solutions provid-er announced plans to expand its headquarters for a fourth time in Mason by 100,000 square feet in order to accommodate 200 additional jobs, primarily in the engineering � eld.

• Masters Pharmaceutical global headquarters relocation: A national distributor of pharmaceutical and medical products, Masters Pharmaceutical announced it will locate its global headquarters to Mason. This move will bring up to 300 jobs within the � rst � ve years, with a total investment of $13.3 million.

In addition, construction continues for Festo’s new building along I-71, as well as AtriCure’s new international headquarters on Innovation Way. In May of last year, German-based manufacturing com-

pany Festo announced it closed on property located on I-71 and Columbia Road. Set to open later this year, the new construction will bring 250 jobs to the I-71 tech corridor. AtriCure broke ground on its new $14 million headquarters in the fall of 2014. The 86,000-square-foot facility will have a fresh, open design to foster interaction and innovation among its 200 employees.

Along with these announcements, another tremendous development in the City of Mason’s 2015 success story is that full funding was awarded for the I-71 & Western Row Road Interchange Im-provements. These long-awaited improvements are critical to support our thriving manufacturing and biohealth hubs along Innovation Way and I-71. This project also will improve access for those who live, work and enjoy the world-renowned recreation sites in our area.

We’re able to accommodate these projects in such a short amount of time because we work tire-lessly to support business innovation and wellness in our community. We hold ourselves to the

highest standards of excellence in creating a successful, collaborative environment for business-es ranging from the Fortune 500 to promising growth companies and all those in between. Whether we’re focused on attracting millennial talent to the local workforce or supporting families with state-of-the-art schools, amenities, and events, there’s a unique culture here that makes you want to call Mason home.

Corwin M. Nixon and Heritage Oak Park Improvements Parks to Receive New Fencing, Backstops, Dugouts, and Netting

Mason is home to seven parks with over 301 acres of parkland. Corwin M. Nix-on/Pine Hill Lakes Park, dedicated in the 1980s, and Heritage Oak Park, dedicat-ed in 1976 in honor of the country’s bi-centennial, are the largest of these parks. The parks boast numerous amenities in-cluding: children’s playgrounds, lighted ball� elds, soccer � elds, lighted tennis and basketball courts, paved paths, picnic shelters, charcoal grills, concessions, an outdoor public swimming pool at Corwin M. Nixon, and even a lightning prediction system at Heritage Oak Park. The parks have hosted thousands of children and adults for organized sporting events and casual recreational purposes along with international events such as the Australian Rules Footy Championship, Olympic Ar-chery Quali� cations, and college and high school ultimate frisbee championships.

Due to the downturn in the economy in 2008 only minor repair and maintenance has occurred in these parks. Last fall the City began replacing some of the parks’ original features that have deteriorated over time as well as installing new up-graded features.

Council approved over $300,000 for new fencing at baselines, and backstops and replacement of spectator netting at Corwin M. Nixon Park. Through a part-nership with Mason Amateur Baseball, dugouts and in� eld and out� eld irrigation were added for the � rst time to each ball-� eld improving them to league standards.

In 2015, Council authorized $250,000 for improvements to the nine ball� elds at Heritage Oak Park. These improve-ments will include: new fencing two feet

Everyone Can Help Reduce Air PollutionThe Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agen-cy, in partnership with OKI Regional Council of Governments, is changing the name of the Smog Alert program to Air Quality Advisory effective April 1.

An Air Quality Advisory is a public message that is issued the day before the Agency expects to see levels of air pol-lution that are unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and people with asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory problems.

Though often thought of during the summertime, air quality should be con-sidered year-round. There are two main pollutants that cause air issues: particu-late matter and ozone. There could be an Air Quality Advisory in the winter due to high particulate matter levels. Ozone is major pollutant causing air quality issues in the summer.

Along with the new name, there is a

new logo, which is used in every other major region of Ohio. If you’re traveling to Dayton or Columbus, you may see this in use.

Even small changes in daily habits can help improve our local air quality. Precau-tions everyone can take to help reduce air pollution include:

More air quality information is available from the Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency at www.SouthwestOhioAir.org, on Facebook (www.facebook.com/SouthwestOhioAir) or Twitter (www.twitter.com/SWOhioAir).

Taking the bus, carpooling, biking, or walking instead of driving Refueling your vehicle after 8 p.m.; do not top off when refueling and tighten the gas cap Not idling your vehicle Combining trips or eliminating unnec-essary vehicle trips Keeping your vehicle maintained with properly in� ated tires and timely oil changes Avoiding use of gasoline-powered lawn equipment on Air Quality Advisory days

Avoiding use of oil-based paints and stains on Air Quality Advisory days Never burning leaves or other yard trimmings

Always burning clean, seasoned wood in outdoor � repits, � replaces, and wood stoves Not using � repits or � replaces for non-essential home heating on Air Quality Advisory days

Township Receives Community Development Block Grant for Road Improvements

Deer� eld Township enforces the Ohio Revised Code §505.87 that provides for abatement, control, or removal of vegeta-tion, garbage, refuse, and other debris, if it has been determined to be a public nui-sance. The Deer� eld Township Trustees adopted an 18" minimum threshold to be considered as a public nuisance.

Mason’s procedure notes that if grass or weeds are in violation of the weed or-dinance, a notice will be sent to the own-er of the property, notifying the owner that weeds are overgrown and must be cut and destroyed within � ve days. If the owner does not comply and mow their lawn, the City will hire someone to mow the lawn and clean up weeds. The cost of mowing will be assessed to the owner’s local property taxes.

As for Deer� eld, if a property is thought to be a nuisance, the owner is

Summer is a great time of year. Many homeowners take great pride in their yards and enjoy enhancing their landscap-ing and gardens. An unfortunate reality, though, is that sometimes people do not or cannot care for their property, or

vacant homes and yards get neglected between owners.Taking care of one’s lawn is an important responsibility for neighbors and the community. By keeping weeds and grass to a min-

imum, it reduces allergies, unwanted reptiles and insects, and helps neighborhoods from becoming unsightly.The City of Mason and Deer� eld Township handle their grass and weed issues similarly, with subtle variations. The City has a

weed ordinance for overgrown weeds and grass in excess of eight inches tall. An exception is made for areas such as “Blue Line Streams,” designated natural areas on a non-single family lot greater than � ve acres, or where a property has applied to the City, and been issued a permit to maintain an area of riparian buffer and/or natural area.

noti� ed and given seven days to abate the alleged nuisance. If the property owner does not abate the problem, the Board of Trustees will then declare the property a public nuisance, providing for the abate-ment of the nuisance. If it remains uncut, the Township will hire a contractor to mow, and a lien for the cost of the mow assessed against owner’s property taxes. In most cases, the fee to mow a nuisance lawn ranges from $175 to $200.

It is that time of year when grass and weeds are consistently growing, and without maintenance, they become a nuisance quickly. For additional infor-mation, or to � le a grass complaint by jurisdiction, you may call the City of Mason’s Engineering and Building De-partment at 513.229.8520, or Deer� eld Township’s Code Enforcement Of� cer, Ron Caldwell, at 513.701.6970.

Township Receives Community Development

Deer� eld Township was successful in receiving over $170,000 for repair and im-provements to Davis Road between Old 3C Highway and Rich Road through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The CDBG funding comes from federal Housing and Urban Development efforts and is administered locally by Warren County. The improvements will consist of full depth repair, roadway shoul-der repair, and a new surface treatment designed to extend the pavement life, called Black Mat. Work is expected to begin in late 2015, once all of the appropriate approvals have been received from Warren County.

Fire and Police Staff Recognized for Saving LifeOn February 9, 2015, Police and Fire units were dispatched to a report of a person who had stopped breathing. The � rst emergency responder to arrive on the scene was Police Of� cer Chris Slone. Of� -cer Slone, a former � re� ghter/paramedic, found a victim who was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Of� cer Slone imme-diately began cardiopulmonary resuscita-tion (CPR) efforts on the victim. Shortly after Of� cer Slone initiated life-saving efforts, Fire crews arrived and began ad-vanced cardiac life support care. The chest compressions and de� brillation effort re-stored the victim’s pulse and the victim be-gan breathing again. The patient was then transported to the hospital. Due to the ear-ly and excellent care provided by Of� cer Slone and the Fire and EMS personnel the

victim was able to fully recover and return home eight days after suffering the car-diac event.

At the City Council meeting on April 13, 2015, Police Of� cer Slone, Fire Lt. Julie Miller, Fire� ghter/Paramedics Mike Breen, Andy Schmidt, Lance Smith, Dan Spaeth, Matt Wagers, and Fire� ghter/EMT Bill Galvin were recognized with the Fire Department’s Life Saver Award. The Life Saver Award is given to mem-bers when, without their direct interven-tion, a life would have been lost.

Roughly 92 percent of victims who suf-fer cardiac arrest nationwide do not survive to be released from the hospital, according

to the American Heart Association.Effective bystander CPR that is provid-

ed immediately after sudden cardiac ar-rest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival. Unfortunately, only 32 per-cent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.

The City of Mason offers a CPR/AED class on the � rst Tuesday of each month at Fire Station 51. To register, call the Community Center at 513.229.8555. Learn how to perform CPR. You may save a life!

Fairway Bunker ShotsFind yourself in the sand? Improve your play with these simple tips.

Adjust your club to ensure youwill get out of the bunker. Forexample, if you normally hit an 8 iron the distance from you to the green, you’ll want your 7 iron from a fairway bunker. Choke up an inch and have the ball positioned to the middle of your stance or in line with your belly button to ensure that you strike the ball fi rst and not the sand. Shuffl e your feet into the sand, but don’t dig too deep as you will lower your body and your swing and increase the chance of hitting the sand fi rst. Also, keep your lower body quiet by not making a hip turn which will shorten your swing. With a little bit of practice those long bunkers shots will become much easier.
