St. Theresa of Diversicare, located in Mariemont, Ohio was the original Mercy Hospital which sits on top of Miami Road on a hill overlooking Cincinnati, Ohio. The views from St. Theresa are breathtaking. For over 100 years, St. Theresa’s has been taking care of people with all levels of care. The transitional care unit (TCU) hosts residents who attend in-house therapy. Apartments for independent and assisted living are the best kept secret in town. For those who need nursing and memory care, St. Theresa’s offers both. Other specialties offered include: Daily activities, outings on the bus, trips to the grocery, in-house beauty shop, Catholic Mass, Protestant Worship, Spirituality Group (non-denominational), Chaplains, out-patient Therapy, pet visits, music therapy, volunteers, and in-house doctors: Dentist, Podiatrist, Ophthalmologist, and Audiologist. “Family and home like environment” is the best way to describe the feel you get while walking through the halls of St. Theresa.

Launched this year, the Mariemont City Schools Award of Excellence is awarded to an individual who exemplifies dedication to and support of the Mariemont City School District.
This year, Gene Stigall was selected to receive this award. Mr. Stigall currently serves as the Network Administrator for the Mariemont City School District. Over his 12 years with the district, he has worked in every building, troubleshooting and creating solutions for parents, staff and students.
“Mr. Stigall shows extraordinary talent in the technology field and realizes its importance to meet the needs of each individual child,” said Steven Estepp, superintendent. “While most districts are searching for ways to keep parents and teachers informed on student progress, Gene recently developed the dashboard, which provides a scorecard for each student that can be accessed by parents and teachers. The detailed information provided by the scorecard keeps parents informed and allows teachers to develop individual plans for their students.”
Mr. Stigall inspires, cares for and respects district students, teachers and the community beyond. Each day, he demonstrates his commitment by supporting students, training and troubleshooting with teachers, both remotely and in person, taking an active role in parent training sessions and helping with community events.
“Regardless of the task, time or challenge, Gene is always sincere, flexible and responds with a calm ‘I can’ smile,” continued Mr. Estepp.
The district staff feels the same way. When asked about Mr. Stigall, they shared that he is “essential to our ability to do our jobs” and “always pleasant even during the most busy and stressful of times.” They said that he is an “expert problem solver” and “thinks outside-the-box.”
When Mr. Estepp asked a high school student about Mr. Stigall, the student shared, “Mr. Stigall has a very enthusiastic personality where if there is something he doesn’t know, he will always research and find the answer. He has ideas in technology that allow us to implement new concepts in our education to make our lives easier and better. He created software to further our education and track our progress.”
Mr. Stigall constantly puts forth effort to make a positive difference and embodies the values of tradition, community and innovation.
Gene Stigall is also Mariemont City School District’s representative for this year’s Celebrate Excellence award, which honors those in the public school education field who exemplify the best in their profession.
Mariemont Preservation Foundation grants about $15,000 per year for worthy Mariemont Projects.
Starting in September 2012, the Mariemont Preservation Foundation initiated a program to award about $15,000 a year to projects that better Mariemont. Dick Adams, the Mayor of Mariemont from 1983 to 1991, chairs the MPF Grant Committee. He noted that to date over $21,000 has been awarded for a wide variety of projects with the largest grant of $6,000 went going to the Village of Mariemont for improvements at the Boat House site.
Under the leadership of Mayor Clarence Erickson, MPF came into existence around 1980 and has played an active role in Mariemont civic life and historic preservation. Its endowment has grown to around $1,250,000 and their Mariemont museum at 3919 Plainville Rd is a wonderful destination for all Mariemont residents who wish to understand the rich heritage of our Village.
In 2007, through the dedicated efforts of Millard Rogers and MPF, the Village of Mariemont was designated a National Historic Landmark. Indeed, the Mariemont Preservation Foundation has been so vital in maintaining the rich history of our planned community that it really deserves standing in Village Government. Perhaps a representative designated as an advisor to the Mayor and Council would be appropriate.
In 2011, MPF undertook the Vision 2021 project that carefully outlines a long-term strategic plan for the Village of Mariemont. It is well worth reading and can be accessed in its entirety here
