Ethan Kadish

Loveland, Oh. - The used books, C.D’s and tape donations that artist Nancy Sullivan has collected are for a sale she has organized to help the family of 14 year-old Loveland school student Ethan Kadish, with his medical expenses.

Sullivan said she spoke with Ethan's “folks” recently and Ethan is going “day by day” in his recovery. “Imagine how difficult it is for a once thriving and promising teen to have everything be a struggle.”

Ethan Kadish was tragically struck by lightning in the summer of 2013. His survival was a blessing, but life has become a difficult journey of recovery for Ethan and everyone who loves him.

Sullivan said, “I felt that if Ethan was aware that friends and neighbors and well-wisher still care, it may give him more energy and hope.”

In June of 2013, at the URJ Goldman Union Camp Institute, a summer camp near Indianapolis, Ethan was teaching a small group of his peers how to play Ultimate Frisbee when a bolt of lightning, out of a clear blue sky struck him to the ground. Everything changed for Ethan in that one moment.  He suffered a severe brain injury.  

Today, Ethan still has a long road ahead of him.  He has an extensive daily schedule of different therapies seven days per week – all designed to help him reestablish basic sensory connections within his brain. Ethan requires nursing care, receives all of his nutrition through a feeding tube, and needs a wheelchair to get around.  He is unable to speak or move independently.  Costs of his care is more than $100,000 annually.

The books, C.D.'s and tapes that Sullivan is collecting will be available and on sale at Sullivan’s art studio on Saturday, January 10 at the Loveland Artists Studios On Main, 529 Main Street, in Loveland, Ohio from 4 until 9 PM.

Nancy Sullivan

Martin Schickle will DJ the sale, playing his selection of music that Sullivan describes, “Martin plays the music for the Loveland Art Councils Nisbet art show in September and I have long admired his light and entertaining choices.”

With all the work and donations, Sullivan is hoping a large crowd of generous book lovers show up. She said, on her Facebook page, “So you may browse, perhaps enjoy a glass of wine, maybe coffee, still working on that, and enjoy the music and the company of other book lovers.”

All this and the main thing is you will be helping Help hope Live which is the non profit which aids the Kadish family with Ethan's medical expenses . If you can't attend, please send prayers Ethan's way. Thank you again to all the followers who so generously have donated wonderful books CDS and DVDs. I hope to meet many of you, Saturday.

The Coffee Exchange of Pleasant Ridge has graciously donated coffee & baked goods for our event. This is also the "Open Studio" night at the art gallery so there will be local artists to visit and chat with.

There have been large, generous book donations from Adopt-a-Book and Half Price Books.

Nancy said that many people who cannot attend on Saturday to shop have given her donations to help Ethan. If you cannot attend, Nancy's address is 529 Main Street, Loveland, Ohio 45140. Or, you can donate directly to "Team Ethan" by clicking on the image below.

From Disability Scoop.com

With his signature, the president has paved the way for people with disabilities to open tax-free savings accounts where they can amass more than $2,000 without losing government benefits.

President Barack Obama signed the Achieving a Better Life Experience, or ABLE, Act Friday before leaving Washington for the holidays.

The new law will allow people with disabilities to open special accounts where they can save up to $100,000 without risking eligibility for Social Security and other government programs. What’s more, individuals can keep their Medicaid coverage no matter how much money is accrued in an ABLE account.

Loveland Police reports now available on-line

 

Loveland, Oh. - Police reports are now available online. The department is proactively posting it’s most requested reports for the public to view 24 hours a day. Criminal reports, crash reports, and arrests can be viewed at http://lovelandoh.glyphreports.com/. The webpage also contains a list of wanted subjects and a listing of all police dispatches in the last 48 hours.

“We have received an increasing number of requests to access public records through the internet. This is a perfect way for us to be transparent and responsive to our community’s needs. Other agencies that use Glyphreports show a dramatic decrease in public records requests, which should also increase staff efficiency.” said Captain Dennis Sean Rahe.

Also, early in 2014 the Loveland Police department partnered with several surrounding police agencies to provide geographical crime information through Raidsonline. If you are having trouble locating a particular report contact the department at 513-583-3000 and ask for records.

by Terri Rogers
Executive Director, Loveland Initiative

On December 19, 2014 The Loveland Initiative held its 17th Annual Christmas Toy Store program. One again the community has come together in a big way with overwhelming toys, gifts and monetary funds towards this program during the holiday season. This program served well over 200 children. Our goal was to make sure that we raised enough funds to offer scholarships which assist a student to further his or her education. Thanks to our generous supporters we have succeeded in reaching that goal; and will award scholarships to Loveland graduates in August of this year.

As you know, we are committed to making life better for families in the Loveland community. We feel that one of the ways to empower people is through education and this is the way to break the cycle of poverty. With the assistance of our supporters, we have been able to make a positive impact on the lives of children and families in our community. Their generous support to our organization has helped to continue the important work to achieve our mission; which is to provide educational support and assistance to under-served children and their families.

Many thanks to our donors — Loveland City Schools, Saint Columbian Church, Tina Pickle - Loveland Zumba Gold, Epiphany United Methodist Church, Miami Trails Neighborhood Network, General Electric Credit Union, Fraternal Order of Eagles Loveland #3c, Jay and Andrea Batchelor, Union Savings Bank, Anytime Fitness, CoCo Bites, Loveland Moose Lodge, LCNB, Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce, Bond Furniture, McNett family and many others. We also thank our hard working volunteers who participated in the event.
