LudLow Hosts AnnuAL EvEnt In REcognItIon of fALLEn vEts
The Annual Ludlow-Bromley Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony will be held on Monday, May 30. The theme of this enduring event is “Remember-ing those who paid the ultimate sacrifice” including fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines from Ludlow, Bromley, and West Covington.
The line-up of vehicles, participating groups, and individuals walking the parade route starts forming at 10:30 am. There will be several coordinators on the corner of Carneal and Oak to organize all participants. The parade itself kicks-off promptly at 11:30 a.m. from the corner of Elm and Carneal Streets. The parade route takes the participants west on Elm Street, turn left onto Adela, and then turn right onto Oak. We will follow Oak into Bromley where we will place some flowers. The parade then proceeds back onto Elm and end at the Ludlow War Memorial where this year’s Memorial Ceremony takes place.
Included in the ceremony is the Pledge of Allegiance, invocation, placement of wreaths, introduction of the Grand Marshall, recognition of the veterans present, a guest speaker, benediction, and the playing of taps.
The Ludlow Fire Department will host a reception following the ceremony. Need more information? Interested in participating in the parade? Call Vanessa Alder at 743-6097 and Bev Epperson at 261-0919.

Donald Powell and Earl Estep will be the Grand Marshalls for this year, and former Mayor Ed Schoeder will be the guest speaker for this event.
donald Powell
Donald Powell, World War II veteran, was selected as a Grand Marshall for the Ludlow-Bromley Memorial Day Parade to be held on May 30, 2011.
Mr. Powell entered the service in November 1943, and was assigned to the 60th troop carrier unit in the U.S. Army Air Corp. He served overseas in Algeria, Rome and Po Valley in Italy and Southern France. He was dis-charged from the service in November 1945.
Mr. Powell has 3 children, 7 grand children and 10 great grand children. He retired from Emery Reality and now resides in Bromley, Kentucky.
Earl J. Estep
Quarter Master 3rd Class Earl J. Estep grew up on Locust Street in Ludlow, Kentucky and attended Ludlow Grade School and High School. Earl was a member of the 1941 Ludlow High School football team.
Earl enlisted in the United States Navy on December 15, 1942 and received his basic training at Great Lakes Naval Base. After graduation from basic training Earl was stationed at the Naval Air Station Clinton, Oklahoma where received advanced training in aircraft firefighting. Oklahoma is also where
Earl met and eventually married his wife of sixty-seven 67 years, Mary Walker Estep.
From Oklahoma, Earl was transferred to Fleet Air Wing – 16 which was shipped out to Natal and Recifs, Brazil. Fleet Air Wing – 16 was responsible for the patrol, convoy escort, barrier sweeps, and identifica-tion/bombing of German sub-marines that were ravaging the South Atlantic shipping lanes during WWII. While serving with Fleet Air Wing – 16, Earl was assigned to a ground crew responsible for responding to aircraft crashes, which were quite frequent.
When the Air Wing was relieved, Earl was then assigned to duty aboard LCI-1018 with the Pacific Fleet where he served until his Honorable Discharge from the Navy on December 4, 1945.
Upon being discharged from the Navy Earl returned to Oklahoma to be with his wife. There they lived and began a family having a son John Estep and a daughter Earlyne Estep Denham. In 1950 Earl brought his family back to his roots where they settled in Bromley and he and his wife have resided there since.
Earl became active in the community serving as a volunteer firefighter with the Bromley Fire Department and as a Police Officer with the Bromley Police Department. Earl also served as a coach with the Bromley Vets knothole baseball team for several years, leading the 1960 Bromley Vets team to the Northern Kentucky Championship and the finals of the then Cincinnati Tournament.
Earl was employed at Krause/Hinds Electric, Florence, Kentucky (formerly Continental Electric of Ludlow) and retired as a foreman in 1983 after work-ing there for thirty years.

63 yEAR LudLow REsIdEnt tuRns 90Marie Maschinot Monahan turns 90 on May 28, 2011. She has been a resident of Ludlow since 1949 when she and her husband, Edward G. Monahan, became proprietors of Monahan’s Fine Foods, a neigh-borhood grocery store at 601 Church Street that specialized in cold cuts, cold drinks and penny candy. The store was open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week so many people in town passed through during the week. It was a place with the latest news of the city. Marie and Ed purchased the business from the Donnelly Family.
Gasoline was 20 cents a gallon and Woodrow Wilson was President when Marie was born in 1921 in Newport, KY. Her parents, Ma-thias and Otillia, owned a tavern named Maschinot’s Tavern new Newport’s 4th Street bridge. Her Mother died when she was 7 years old and her Father died when she was 9 years old. Marie was raised by her Aunt Gertrude Kirby on 6th Street in Newport. After graduat-ing from Newport High School in 1939, she went to work in Cincinnati at Wright Aeronautical as a clerk. In 1942, she married Price Hill’s Ed Monahan who was working at Western Union at 4th and Walnut in Cincinnati. When Ed was drafted into World War II and the Korean War, Marie ran the grocery. Marie worked in the Dietary Department at St. Charles Care Center specializing in baking desserts, bringing cheer and encouraging residents.
Marie has three children. Fran is a Ludlow resident with 4 daughters, Beth, Becky, Shelly and Julie. Marla is a provincial of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Park Hills, and Ed is a public defender in Lexington with wife Diane and 2 children, Lauren and Megan.
Marie had four siblings, Joe Maschinot, Matt Maschinot, Vera James and Dee Woodruff.
Marie and Ed worked to build up our community. At St. James Parish, Marie was a member of the Altar Society that raised funds for the parish school and for the needs of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth who taught there. She was also a Brownie leader. She was active in the Covington Diocese’s Council of Catholic Women, and chaired the Diocese’s Seminary Guild Ball that raised money to support men studying for the priesthood. Ed was Ludlow Planning Board Chair from 1963-66, Ludlow High School Study Group Chair in 1970, city assessor from 1970-74, a city councilman from 1980-87, Ludlow and vicinity blood bank chair, active in the Knights of Columbus and St. Vincent DePaul Society that assisted those with social needs, and Mayor from November 1989-September 1990. As Mayor, he worked to gain funding for the Senior Citizen Center. Marie and Ed were married 59 years. He died at the age of 86 in 2001.
During the last year, Marie has taken a tour of St. Elizabeth Hospital, St. Charles Care Center, Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Rosedale Manor, visiting some of them more than once as she has battled with a series of illnesses. However, she is back home now enjoying her three great-grandchildren, Madison, Morgan and Bailey Russell of Ft. Wright, her conversations and cards with her friends who include Mickey Schneider, Marguerite Crowley, and formerly from Ludlow, Edna Riehemann, Connie Wooster and many others. Marie is proud to have taught her children that the purpose of life is not to advance oneself; rather it is to help others. Our world is a better place for the 90 years of life for Marie Monahan.

MEMoRIAL dAy MEMoRIEsBy Mark Mitchell, President, Israel Ludlow Historical Society
My grandmother referred to it as “Decoration Day”, as had her mother who had been born before the Civil War. It was a day the family gathered for a meal and then proceeded to the graveyard. Today we know it as Memorial Day….and those old family traditions have seemingly disappeared.
When I was a kid, my family would go with grandma to the cemetery and visit the graves of our relatives…and whether they had served in military service or not, she would put flowers on their graves. She would walk with us kids, point out each grave, and tell us how we were related and a little bit about each person. I think it is from those early stories that I am now so interested in history and genealogy. From those experiences I also gained a certain fascination with cemeteries…the solemn, reverent aspect of the moment…and an appreciation for the stories, emotions, and lives represented with each grave. Grandma passed away in 1990…and I rarely ever make it back to that cemetery in eastern Kentucky, but I think of her often, and how that interest and curiosity is still in me today.
Locally, my favorite cemetery is Cincinnati’s Spring Grove….for it has that combination of peaceful serenity in contrast to the busy city outside its boundaries. Whether it is for the beautiful scenery…filled with lakes and statues and a park-like atmosphere or the interesting monuments and mausoleums…it is worth a visit. It is a destination for the living…people walk or jog along its roadways and photographers use the scenic setting for portraits and pictures.
Spring Grove also happens to be the burial location for some of Ludlow’s most prominent families:
Matthew Bentley (1804-1878) immigrated with his family from London, England and built the large house at Elm and Butler Streets known today as the Ronald B. Jones Funeral Home. Bentley and his family are buried in Section 14 of Spring Grove.
The Ringgolds, for whom Ringgold Street in Ludlow is named, are buried in Section 20, Lot R. An angel stands over them, trumpet in hand, just
waiting for that resurrection day.
There are also the Clossons who lived at Somerset Hall…their furniture and art business remained in Cincinnati for over 100 years. They are buried in section 112.
It is said that Alexander Latta (section 77, lot 14) wanted his monument to be a stone version of the steam fire engine he invented. The cemetery board nixed that idea…so his marker is not today quite so striking as the one he envisioned. The Latta family built the 12-sided house at Latta and Butler Streets standing today. Thomas Davis Carneal (1786-1860) was the original owner and resident of Elmwood Hall, complet-ing the magnificent home in 1821. He and his family are buried in Section 24 near the grave of his wealthy brother-in-law, Nicholas Longworth.
There are also the Ritchies, the Venns, and many others.
Of course, the Ludlows are buried there. Before the property became Spring Grove, it was part of the land owned by Colonel Israel Ludlow (1765-1804). Although he was originally buried in a churchyard downtown, his body was reinterred in 1896 at Spring Grove, section 113, lot 170. Colonel Ludlow’s children are all buried elsewhere in the cemetery…including his son and namesake Israel L. Ludlow (1804-1846) who also owned Elmwood Hall and for whom our community was named. He and his wife, Helen Adela (Slacum), and most of their children are buried in section 74 lot 51. A white sandstone obelisk marks the spot…the inscription barely visible from the effects of time and weather.
This Memorial Day take the time to remember the stories and memories from your family. Visit a cemetery and imagine what life was like between those years carved in stone. Pass on to your children and grandchildren a pride and knowledge about those that uniquely influenced who they are.
By the way, Spring Grove‘s records are an excellent source of local gene-alogy. If interested, visit the link on the Israel Ludlow Historical Society website at www.historicludlow.org.

One of Ludlow’s greatest assets is its historic buildings. Ludlow is fortunate to have Hater’s Dry Goods store in its downtown district. Located at 242 Elm Street, this building has been a dry goods store since its beginning. This handsome historic building was built in 1885 by the William R. Scheifers family. This Victorian brick structure features wonderful carved wood, stone headers over the upper windows, and many carved stone ornamentations. The original wood doors and tile entry are still intact today. While the Scheifers lived on the second and third floors, Mr. Scheifer and son operated a dry goods and clothing store on the first floor. With the demands of railroad workers, their business thrived. One side of the store featured gents’ furnishings, clothing, hats and caps. The other side featured draperies, win-dow shades and household items.
In 1972, Jim Hater graduated from Thomas More College and decided to open Hater Dry Goods in this fine crafted building. Jim came from a long line of family owned businesses. Jim grew up working in his father’s dry goods store in Price Hill. Jim’s grandfather owned a dry goods store in Cincinnati at Poplar and Freeman until the expressway took the building. Hater’s has always sold school merchandise, T-shirts, socks, and sweats. Today, Hater’s is also a great source for having one or more items imprinted, embroidered, or custom lettered.
Ludlow is very fortunate that Jim Hater continues to preserve his historic building and operates a viable business.

“tHE REAL woRLd”This year, the Life Skills class in the high school has been having fun and learning all about "The Real World." Most notably, in the second quarter students learned to knit, crochet and sew. They took a field trip to the laundromat where they learned how to separate colors and whites. Their final project was a pair of pajama pants. Thank you so much for everyone who donated sewing machines, yarn and fabric! In April, the students took a field trip to the airport where they were shown how to check in and go through security. Look out world, soon they will be graduates and ready to travel the world! They're planning a trip to Home Depot soon to learn some basic car repairs and also to an auto repair shop to learn how to maintain their vehicles. They just finished up learning how to man-age their personal finance, everything from creating a budget, writing checks, keeping out of debt and investing for future wealth. This quarter they are learning to cook. Look out, as we give teenagers knives and watch them chop, dice and slice! For their final project this year we'll be cooking a feast. Thank you so much to the Education Foundation for help-ing to purchase food supplies for our food labs. If anyone would like to help fund a food lab, please either send a donation to the school c/o Ms. Wolf or if you would like to prepare a recipe and buy the supplies for the students to prepare, please contact Ms. Wolf at the school either by emailing [email protected] or call (859) 261-8211 between 2:15 and 3:10.

On April 9th, construction started on two new, single-family homes in Ludlow thanks in large part, to the largesse bestowed upon it by volunteers from the Northern Kentucky homebuilding industry and their suppliers. In just 15 hours over the course of a week-end, skilled volunteers were able to frame up and get one of the homes under roof.
The project is the result of collaboration between Housing Opportunities of Northern Kentucky (HONK) and the City of Ludlow. The homes are being built on an undevel-oped lot that was donated to the city in 2001 by the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. In exchange for building the homes, city council agreed to donate the property to HONK--which is a Covington based, 501(c)3, non-profit, HUD certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).
HONK is constructing the homes using a mix of contractors and volunteers from the Northern Kentucky Homebuilders Association and their suppliers. HONK often aug-ments construction with YouthBuild workers from the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission and apprentices from the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky as well as using some of their own small staff. HONK has built and re-habbed 96 affordable housing in Northern Kentucky since 1991. Among their projects, HONK constructed the single-family handicapped-accessible home at 36 Carneal Street in Ludlow and is currently rehabbing the homes in the Ludlow Neighborhood Stabiliza-tion Project (NSP) located at 38 Carneal Street, 45 Ash Street and 207 Adela Street.
Each of the two-story homes on Oak Street will be compatible in design, materials and market value to existing residential properties on Oak Street and its environs. They will have brick exteriors and six rooms—3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a full walk-out basement and off-street parking. While priority will be give to veterans, all interested homebuyers can obtain more information on the homes by calling Marcia at HONK at 859-581-4665.
In addition to HONK staff, the volunteers participating in the Blitz-Build included:
David Ames (Marsh Building Products); David Bowdler (Drees Homes); Bill and Tom Butt (Bill’s Remodeling & Electric); Kevin Cornett (CIC Incorporated); Doug Delay (Alan Schmidt Construction); Ted Fischer (Fischer Homes); Aaron Goetz (Arronco Corporation); Marty Grosser (Grosser Remodeling & Company); Joe Halpin (Drees Homes); Jerry Kempf (Drees Homes); Andy Kovach (Habegger Corporation);Blake and Ethan McCoy (CIC Corporation); Brian Schalk (Florida Tile); Roger Schwartz; Bill Scmutte (Habegger Corporation); Bob Schroder (Arlinghaus Builders); Rick Siev-ers (Drees Homes); Joe Troutman (Drees Homes);Matt Tyner (Habegger Corporation); Austin Wiest (Grosser & Company Remodeling); Craig Wilkerson (Suburban Steel Supply); Chris Wulfeck (Cornerstone Group).
The volunteers were sustained with food and drink provided by Chef Barone, Rem-ke’s, and Ludlow’s own Jeff Thomas Catering, and served by Danielle and Diana De-Vore (Guardian Savings); Cindy Goetz (Arronco Corporation); Karen Lefebvre (Home Builders Association); Lauren Scott (Guardian Savings Bank); Sharon Snyder (Drees Homes); and Desiree Webster (NuVo Technologies) .

HISTORY OF MEMORIAL DAY
Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union
veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan
declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.
By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.
It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who
have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also
placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.
To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment
of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides
them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.
The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor
those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”
On Monday, May 30, 2011, amidst all the Memorial Day celebrations, please remember
to take time to remember and honor those who have died in service to our country.

Did you know that our way of life depends on the support of our independent, locally owned businesses?
• Spend $100 locally, $62 stays right in your commu-nity• Spend that same $100 in a national chain, only $42 stays in your community• Spend that same $100 on-line, $0 is returned to your community (unless it is a website owned by a local busi-ness!)
Let's aim to improve the economic health of our neigh-borhoods, our businesses and our city.
Shopping local creates jobs. Shops in your town cre-1.ate local employment and self-employment. These people in turn spend in the local economy.
Local independent shops invest more in your com-2.munities. Local businesses are proportionally more generous in their support of local charities, schools, and community events. So supporting local shops means a financial contribution to your community.
Local shops sell great products at affordable prices. 3.Some people get out of the habit of shopping locally and are then surprised by the range of products avail-able.
Shopping locally saves you time and money. You 4.travel less, saving on time and fuel.
Shopping locally retains your communities. People 5.don’t like losing shops and services in small towns but don’t equate this with how they spend their money.
Shopping locally retains your distinctiveness. Inde-6.pendent shops create distinctive shopping experiences and stock different products. Local businesses respond more quickly to the needs of local customers, stocking products to meet changing population needs.
Shopping locally saves the environment. Local shops 7.often stock a high percentage of locally sourced goods that do not require long-distance transportation, help-ing to reduce our global footprint.
Local shops are for everyone. Most people can get to 8.their local shops easily. This is especially important for the elderly, young people and others who rely on public transportation.
Local shops value you more. Evidence from numer-9.ous surveys show people receive better customer care and service locally. These businesses survive by their reputation and repeat business, which means you get a higher standard of service.
Shopping local saves services. Private and public 10.sector services cluster around shops. As shops disap-pear so do hairdressers, banks, restaurants and other businesses.
Together we can strengthen relationships that improve our quality of life. So next time before you make a pur-chase, Think, Shop, Buy, Local. Local stores employ your neighbors, pay taxes that support your schools and improve your roads and contribute to local non-profit groups. Keep your community strong. Invest in your lo-cally owned businesses and keep your money in town!

The 14th Annual Ludlow High School Football Golf Outing
Founded by Mr. Don Mills, the Ludlow High School Golf Outing has continued to be a highly valuable and extremely successful fundraising event over the past thirteen years. At that time Mr. Mills was a Ludlow Panther Parent. Don saw there was a need for a fundraiser and decided that he wanted to make a difference. Thirteen years later he is still making a difference and has remained dedicated and committed to this event. As you can imagine coordinating this fundraiser is a year-round job. From food to raffle prizes, Mr. Mills has made sure nothing is left out. As the years have passed he always strived to continuously improve
the event. He knows exactly what it takes to make event day successful.
As some are aware, Mr. Mills has continued to coordinate the event even after his children have graduated. Needless to say, Mr. Mills holds the golf outing dear to his heart; thus he has called on the High School Football Coaches and Parents to take an active role and begin learning the process. Mr. Mills is still very active and is leading the way. He will still be helping out and overseeing the event, but hopefully this year he can spend more time enjoying event day. So, a big thank you is due to Mr. Mills, The Members of the Ludlow Vets, and his friends and family members who have also worked and supported the event over the past thirteen years. Thank you all for the years of endless support, it is truly appreciated.
The Outing will be held on Saturday, August 13th at the Devou Golf Course
If Interested in Playing in the Golf Outing. It is $70.00 per player or $280.00 per 4 Person Scramble this includes:
• Door/Raffle Prizes
• 18 Holes of Golf
• Use of Golf Cart
• Steak dinner and beverages held after the outing at the Ludlow Vets
Hole Sponsors: We are looking for Hole Sponsors for the upcoming event. Hole Sponsors are not limited to businesses, but anyone can sponsor and be represented on an individual basis. The cost is $100.00, and the day of the event a sign will be displayed with your company (or personal) name and/or message.
Raffle Donations: We are also looking for items to raffle the day of the event. Raffle items are a very big part of the Golf Outing. No items is too small, and every item donated is greatly appreciated.
Volunteers: As you can imagine the day of the outing will be very busy. If you are interested in volunteering the day of the outing, please see contact information below. Your time and efforts will be greatly appreciated.
