The Ohio House of Representatives is considering an anti-abortion omnibus bill that would force doctors to tell their patients how much personal income they would lose if they did not perform abortions.
The bill also makes ultrasounds mandatory for any woman seeking an abortion, requires doctors to give women medically disputed information about pain felt by fetuses and mention the debunked link between abortion and breast cancer, lengthens the mandatory waiting period before an abortion, and threatens physicians with a felony and an unprecedented fine of up to $1 million if they fail to comply with the laws. Read on at Huffington Post...
Liz Walters, the Political Director of the Ohio Democratic Party issued a statement today:
Have you heard about Republicans’ latest assault on women’s health? They’ve sunk to a new low with this bill that would force Ohio women facing incredibly difficult decisions to endure a mandatory ultrasound, require doctors to give false information that would scare and intimidate patients, and more.
Like many of you, I never could have imagined these types of disgusting political attacks that show zero respect for women. The extreme restrictions in this bill are completely medically unnecessary, and serve only one purpose: To shame women and make them feel even worse about an already tragic circumstance.
From forcing these medically unnecessary procedures, to defunding Planned Parenthood, to jeopardizing funding for rape crisis centers, the GOP is sending a clear message that they plan a continued assault aimed squarely at women’s health and privacy.
The legislation would restrict almost all abortions to the first 20 weeks after conception, defying laws in most states that allow abortions up to when the fetus becomes viable, usually considered to be around 24 weeks. Read on at Columbus Dispatch...
Personhood Ohio, a far-right group attempting to outlaw all abortions by defining life as beginning at conception, is still attempting to get a “personhood” amendment on the state ballot after falling short last year. And the leader of the group, Patrick Johnston, is trying out a few creative fundraising efforts to raise money for Personhood Ohio’s outreach efforts.
In a recent email blast, Johnston asked his fellow Ohioans to help support his personhood cause by buying some assault weapons from his personal collection. “I’m selling some of my favorite things — some powerful rifles and ammo,” the Personhood Ohio director wrote. Read on at Progress Ohio...
The bill would also require doctors to tell women that the procedure increases the risk of breast cancer, something on which experts disagree. Read on at The Review...

A national group today named a picturesque Ohio village as one of the nation’s most endangered
historic places and is calling on state authorities to scrap a transportation plan that village
leaders and preservationists say could permanently scar the area.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation named the Village of Mariemont among 11
endangered sites in the U.S. on its annual list, calling it a “uniquely idyllic American community”
being threatened by an Ohio Department of Transportation plan that could put a highway in the area. Read on in Columbus Dispatch...

Graduates challenged to ‘dream big'
The Class of 2013 earned more than $12.8 million in scholarships
It was an afternoon of reflection and celebration Saturday, June 8, as Xavier University’s Cintas Center set the stage for Loveland City School District administrators to award 339 Loveland High School (LHS) graduates their diplomas. Superintendent Chad Hilliker had a special message for the outgoing senior class.
“Class of 2013, I encourage you to remember this thought: dream big. Imagine what it is you truly want. These dreams become goals, the goals become action and those actions lead to memories,” Hilliker said in his commencement address. “You will continue to dream as you continue on your journey. Remember: dream big. Don’t let anyone tell you that something will never happen or is impossible.”
The Class of 2013 earned more than $12.8 million in scholarships, and included 129 honors students. Allen Osgood III was valedictorian; he will attend Washington University in St. Louis this fall. Natalie Ruth Dall was the senior class salutatorian; she plans to attend the University of Pittsburgh this fall. A total of 266 graduates plan to continue their education in college; two graduates plan to attend military academies and eight plan to enlist in the military.
“You are ready, willing and more than able to grasp the torch that we bestow upon you today – yours is the future and on you the world will come to depend,” LHS Principal Chris Kloesz told the graduates.
“May your years ahead continue to be characterized by empathy, compassion, objectivity and a willingness to take risks. May you always lead by example and work hard… and play straight. May your successes be many and your tribulations be few and far between. I wish you everything that you so richly deserve in the years ahead – it has been an honor and a privilege watching your progress and encouraging you toward your accomplishments.”
In these videos you can hear the informal speech Valedictorian, Allen Osgood and Salutatorian Natalie Ruth Dall gave together, sitting at the edge of the stage while receiving tweets from fellow graduates. Osgood said it has been an "incredible thirteen years."
Dall reminded her friends that they have cried together, laughed together, and celebrated together.
"You will always have these memories. You will always have these friendships. You will be able to make an impact on the people around you. You are the fearless class of 2013, and no matter where you go you will always carry that Tiger spirit with you."
You can also watch the President's address by Samuel Hoffman and Student Council President, Meghan Tegtmeier's remarks as she accepted the award of diplomas and led the changing of the tassels. Hoffman said that the class was diverse, "At Loveland we are all different, but we are accepting of each other. Our differences unite us."
Tegtmeier said, "High school was a time in our lives that we began to recognize our identifies as individuals." However she emphasized that collectively each of her fellow students make Loveland High School, "...what it is - a place that allowed us to grow wiser and stronger."
Lean on Me, the Bill Withers song, was performed by Sara Boyle, Katie Loomis, and Arianna Ranieri.
Home Medley, by Tolcher/Swift/Phillips was sung by Samuel Hoffman, Megan Kiley, Sara Sexton, and Kelsey Wagner, accompanied on piano by Lauren Blumberg.
Board President, Christine Olsen also addressed the graduates. "Loveland Tigers Class of 2013, you are a deserving class. You are wished the best of luck and happiness always."
The highlight of the videos may just be watching each graduate as they celebrate leaving the auditorium with their diplomas.

Loveland Magazine receives many e-mails after publishing stories. "Most" are very complimentary...
Your magazine has impact! This is good news for the city.
You have innate respect for kids; it is contrary to who you are to be condescending or patronizing as if they were somehow deficient adults -- and I enjoy seeing them honored by your writing about their projects in Loveland Magazine.
Beautiful photos! A lovely Sunday treat for me : ).

This past week I had the pleasure of leading the Loveland Initiative’s “Set for Success” program for the second year, held at the Loveland Artist Studios on Main. The program is for students going into grades five through eight and aims to teach them responsible habits to put them on a path of success in school and in life.
Tuesday: Think Before You Do. This session stressed the consequences that certain decisions can have on one’s future and emphasized that quick fixes do not lead to sustained satisfaction.
Wednesday: Money Matters. This session highlighted the importance of saving money for things that are truly important and got the kids thinking about ways they can earn money at their age.
Thursday: People Skills. This session went over basic skills one needs in working with others such as proper communication, reliability, honesty, and respect.
Friday: Skills Overview. We briefly reviewed what we learned from the week before going to Five Seasons.
For community service we cleaned the Art Studios on Monday and Tuesday. Because the kids got all the cleaning done after the first two days, we played games during the time allotted for community service on Wednesday and Thursday.
Nine kids attended the program. Five, also attended last year. I really think our overarching themes of responsibility and goal setting are hitting home, and we certainly hope the kids will take what they’ve learned and apply it in their lives moving forward.
Finally, I want to acknowledge those who made it possible. First is Terri Rodgers and everyone else at the Loveland Initiative who recruited the kids and coordinated all the logistics and food while I was away at school and then an internship. Secondly, Sandy and Tina Sechang were by my side every day interacting with the kids and keeping things running smoothly. Sam Lorio and Chuck Stahl stepped up last-minute to lead the Wednesday and Thursday classes when we were running short on teachers.
Shawn Custis, owner of the Art Studios, was gracious enough to let use the space for the second year in a row, and David Miller, Publisher of Loveland Magazine was our host at their Loveland Magazine TV Studio in the historic school building. He was there to open up the building every morning and provide us with the supplies and audio visual equipment we needed.
I also want to extend a special thank you to Mike Shannon of Full Spectrum Fitness for allowing the children use of his training space and equipment when they needed to burn off energy.
I would also like to acknowledge Paul Elliot of Apex Sportswear for having t-shirts and cinch bags printed for the kids and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation Summertime Kids grant for providing funding for the program. Lastly, The Works, Paxton’s, Café 45140, and the Veg Head donated lunches for us, while Five Seasons graciously let us use their facilities for our Friday pool party.
I think the program improved this year, and I hope two years of momentum translates into sustained progress of fulfilling the Initiative’s mission: “to educate and assist low-income children and their families.”

With names like Giganotosaurus, Eoraptor and Pisanosaurus, these are definitely not your parents' dinosaurs. In fact, the new exhibit that opens Thursday, Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana, features dinosaurs most of us have never heard of before.
The exhibit is making its U.S. premiere at the Cincinnati Museum Center starting Thursday, and it's billed as a collection of the biggest, strangest and newest dinosaurs discovered in South America, Africa and Madagascar about 20 years ago. Read on and view photos at WVXU...
