The Village Of Mariemont will host the third annual Warrior Run: The Race for Life on Saturday, October 12, 2013. Last year the event drew a record 1,200 participants who were greeted by the beautiful fall foliage of Mariemont and the cheering of Mariemont residents across the Village.

While the USATF sanctioned 5k Warrior Run is the featured attraction of the event, the main attraction is the family-oriented events surrounding the race. For all ages there will be an untimed one-mile walk through the scenic Village Of Mariemont that runs concurrently with the 5k race. The event also includes a fun filled evening of food, drinks, music, and carnival-style kid’s games. Food for the event includes City Barbecue pulled pork and chicken, Homemade Chili, LaRosas pizza, UDF ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, and cookies and muffins. The event will also will also include a Bid-n-Buy event with merchandise donated by area merchants. Music will be provided by radio station 94.9 “re-wind”, and at dusk the event will conclude with the showing of the movie “Brave” on a temporary big screen erected in the center of the Bell Tower Park. Again this year will be prizes for the Mariemont resident along the race route who provides the best set up for the simulcast from 94.9 “re-wind” during the race; the residence with the best set up during the race will receive a gift certificate to the National Exemplar Restaurant.

The Warrior Run: The Race for Life will begin at 5:30pm at the Mariemont Bell Tower on Pleasant Street. The Event benefits the Surviving the Teens® program created by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. It provides information, resources and support on teen mental health problems to help guide teens and families through the ups and downs they might face.

To date, The Warrior Run: The Race for Life has raised nearly $100,000 for the Surviving the Teens® program. Last year the event drew over 1,200 runners/walkers and resulted in a donation of $35,000 to the Surviving the Teens® program.

From Fox 19: The Mariemont City School District, Mercy Health and Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine have announced a new school-community partnership that aims to enhance wellness opportunities for district students.

The school district has had a long-standing relationship with Wellington Orthopaedic, as one of the first schools to receive trainer coverage and care from Wellington. Over the past six years, this relationship has grown from a subscription for trainer coverage at Mariemont sporting events to a sponsor partnership with Wellington.

Under this partnership agreement, Mercy Health and Wellington will provide a certified athletic trainer to serve as the primary athletic trainer for Mariemont High School, as well as a team physician. The athletic trainer will work under the advice and counsel of the team physician. Other benefits of the partnership include:

Convenient, complete physicals
Provision of courses that the State of Ohio requires coaches to take
Educational opportunities for students, including internships and a wide array of educational services, such as guest speakers for classes and a student athletic training program
Discounted HealthPlex membership for students
Physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant support for school nurse
Healthcare and preventive services for staff, faculty and the community
With the partnership of Mercy Health and Wellington Orthopaedic, the school has received a sponsorship from Mercy Health, which includes a five-year sponsorship of the district’s athletic program, athletic trainer coverage of sporting events and health initiatives that will be rolled out into school district communities over the next year.

For a full recap of the meeting, go to the Planning Commission minutes from June of this year. They are located on this web site under Village of Mariemont, then Village Government and then Mariemont Minutes. There were many interesting points of view from Village residents and developers!

Mary Ann Schwartz is the new representative to Council from District 5, which includes the Historic District. Ms. Schwartz has lived in the Village since the 1980’s, and is committed to cleaning up and preserving the charm of the Historic District, which contains many of Mariemont’s apartment buildings.

“I’d like to see if we can work with some of the landlords to improve their properties,” she said. Ms. Schwartz was sworn in at the council meeting on May 13, and will fulfill the unexpired term of Denise McCarthy, who has moved out of the the Village. We welcome Ms. Schwartz and thank her for her willingness to serve.

A Mariemont Police Deputy and Lieutenant were honored on Monday for their work at the scene of a possible drowning in the Little Miami River.

Sheriff Jim Neil and Police Chief Rick Hines, of the Mariemont Police Department, presented Deputy Nick Hoevel and Mariemont Lieutenant Tom Ostendarp with an Award of Merit for Valor at the Council meeting on July 8.

The award is in recognition of their heroic efforts to save some juveniles who had gotten caught in the high water of the Little Miami behind the Mariemont swimming pool. On June 11, both officers were dispatched to a report of possible drowning in the Little Miami River. When officers arrived at the river bank, they were told two people were still in the water that needed assistance. One swimmer was spotted hanging from a rope, both officers removed gun belts, entered the water and managed to assist the one swimmer back to safety. Unfortunately, the other victim identified as Otis Andrews was not located and presumed to have been swept away.

Mackenzie Fields, a student at the University of Cincinnati and a Mariemont resident, received the Helen Norman Smith Award on June 24.
The award is presented to the top senior female student-athlete, who has distinguished herself by academic achievement, athletic accomplishment and service to the campus community. This is an extremely prestigious award, since the honoree must be outstanding in all areas.

According to a release from the university, “Fields, a Cincinnati native, finished her career with numerous academic and athletic honors. She holds the school record in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault and swept the 2013 Big East Conference titles in the event. Fields was also named an NCAA All-American indoors after finishing 10th at the NCAA championships. She earned an event win at the 2013 Drake Relays and set the meet record and tied the stadium record at the Jesse Owens Classic. Described as a consummate team player by women’s head coach Susan Seaton, Fields served as team captain this year.”
