COSI tour made a stop at LPS thanks to funding from the PTA
Loveland, Oh. - It was two days of chemical mixing, experimentation and slime creation for Loveland Primary School (LPS) students. COSI (Center of Science and Industry) – a hands-on science center located in Columbus, Ohio – brought its learning outreach program to LPS.
“We are always excited when the COSI tour bus rolls into Loveland,” said Kevin Fancher, LPS principal. “The lesson always expands on what we are learning in our traditional classrooms, and gives our students a chance to get hands-on with science.”
The theme for this COSI science adventure was Simply Chemistry. The COSI tour made a stop at LPS thanks to funding from the PTA.
“This is such a worthwhile investment for our students,” said Fancher. “We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the PTA to make this type of learning available to our students.”

Seventh Grade LMS Student
Loveland Middle School students collected over 620 gently used books for their December book drive. The students teamed up with a local organization, Adopt-a-Book, and walked the bags of books over to Northstar Church on Friday, Dec. 12.
Rachel Silvey’s three language arts classes worked for two weeks to collect the donated books for the drive. The collected books were used at the Northstar Care Center allowing local families to choose books to gift for the recent holiday season.
An LMS student, named Kate Garry, generously donated over 50 books. Kate was asked how she felt about her donation to the book drive and she replied, “I feel good about doing this for kids.

Best Part of Me
The lights were dim, the cookies in abundance and the parents sitting anxious with devices to record the students who were positioned up front to make an easy pathway to the center stage where a single microphone spoke volumes – this classroom was hosting an event.
The performance inside Loveland Primary School (LPS) Second-Grade Teacher Megan Little’s classroom was a show to remember. Bright eyes, small hands and big smiles rolled across the video screen – as each student shared the “Best Part of Me.”
“This event was the culmination of a lesson on writing personal narratives, but the growth went beyond the written word,” said Little. “It encouraged our students to focus on what they feel makes them special, and helps to build a foundation establishing a positive self-image.”
The Best Part of Me performance is an annual event for all second-grade students who have class with Little and Patsy Schlesselman. Please enjoy the video photo gallery captured during Little’s class.

This is a question that has been hypothesized for years by scientists and doctors. There has always been reports of people who have increased joint pain during rainy and cold seasons. It seems people who have a history of injuries or arthritis seem to notice change in seasons more than others. However, rain or snow have very little to do with the joint pain itself. The pain seems to be more associated with the change in barometric pressure that comes with the extreme weather patterns. When a cold front comes through it brings along a low pressure system. This pressure system is what pushes down on the earth’s surface. The less pressure pushing down on us, the more the tissues in our joints can swell and expand. Imagine a balloon being blown up. If something is applying pressure to the balloon as it is being blown up, the balloon will not expand very quickly. If nothing is applying force to that balloon, then the balloon will expand (swell) easier. When we have less pressure on us, this swelling could cause more irritation to an injured or arthritic joint causing increased pain.
Additionally, the pressurized cabin of an airplane, which is used to counteract the increased pressure as we climb into a higher altitude, could also allow our joint tissues to expand. This could be an additional reason people feel more pain getting off airplanes (along with the fact you are stuffed in a shoebox for a chair for several hours).
Many people feel like if they just moved to a warmer climate they would feel better. This may be true for a while, however, studies show that people who live in warm climates still experience the same changes in their bodies from even subtle pressure changes. This pain appears whether we live in Cincinnati or Arizona. Our joints can go through the same aches and pains. To aid in decreasing these symptoms, make sure you take care of injuries when they happen. By doing so, you will help in reducing further exacerbations during changes in barometric pressure in later years.
If you have any questions or you would like additional information please do not hesitate to call our office at 513-677-6787.

UNDERSTANDING MENTAL ILLNESS
An evening for teengers and adults
After two young people died by suicide, members of Epiphany United Methodist Church formed the Andrew’s Suicide And Prevention (A.S.A.P.) organization, to educate themselves, and the Loveland community. They have decided to follow-up their very successful and well attended, Mental Health Awareness event with a second. It will be next Sunday, January 18 beginning at 6 PM.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Paul Keck, President and CEO of the Linder Center of Hope, a nonprofit, mental health center located in Mason. His talk will be followed by a panel of local individuals who have been impacted by mental illness who will share their journey and answer questions.
Keck, a researcher in Bipolar Disorder and psychopharmacology, is the author of over 525 scientific papers in leading medical journals and was the 7th most cited scientist in the world published in the fields of psychiatry and psychology over the past decade. He has also contributed over 170 reviews and chapters to major psychiatric textbooks.
Keck is the editor or author of 6 scientific books and serves on the editorial boards of 7 journals. He also served on the American Psychiatric Association’s Workgroup to Develop Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Patients with Bipolar Disorders and on the APA Institute for Research and Education.
Unique to this information night, according to Rev. Lisa Kerwin, is that a parent of an adult with a mental illness will be on the panel and discuss their experience and will be available to answer questions from the public. Kerwin has an adult son who has been treated for mental illness.
An evening for teengers and adults
Kerwin is the Pastor of Care Ministries and Congregational Life at Epiphany, and is helping to organize the event. She said, “Teens and adults can expect to go home with a little bit of better understanding.” She believes that even one night’s worth of understanding will be helpful, especially to parents of youth or young adults. She said, “That is often when mental illness first shows itself.”
“Attendees will have a better understanding of what mental illness is… what to look for… and what is different about mental illness than just typical bad behavior in teenagers, said Kerwin. “There is a difference, and parents and other teenagers should know what to look out for and of course, how to get help - and where to get help.”
Following the keynote by Dr. Keck, a panel of four who have personal experience with suicide and mental health issues will share their own stories. Then the audience will have a chance to ask their questions of the panel and Dr. Keck.
Joe Lynch, parent of Andrew, who A.S.A.P is named for, will be the moderator. Lynch said, “As at he last time we did one of these events, we will have people there who can answer questions and you can even talk to individuals, one-on-one. It was a very beneficial to have a panel of individuals who have been impacted by mental illness, to share their journey and answer questions.”
For more information: lkerwin@epiphanyumc.org or 513-677-9866.
Epiphany is located next to the Oasis Golf Club at at 6635 Loveland-Miamiville Road. DIRECTIONS
Below is a "Milestones" interview with Dr. Paul E. Keck, CEO, Lindner Center of HOPE.
At A.S.A.P.'s Mental Health Awareness event you can meet Dr. Keck personally and are invited to ask him your own questions.

Loveland, Ohio - In this LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video you can meet Diane Allen and hear about how she designed the new 2015 Valentine Card. On Saturday at the Loveland Kroger store, Diane unveiled the card chosen as the official 2015 Loveland Valentine Card. The design contest, sponsored by the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce goes back to 1989.
Loveland's Valentine program began in 1971 when the Loveland Businessman's Club began the tradition of mailing Valentine cards from the Loveland Post office with a special post mark.
Diane's card can be purchased at the Chamber office, Loveland Kroger, Pizazz Studio, UPS Store, Union Savings Bank, Loveland Health Care Center, Greater Loveland Historical Society Museum, Lebanon Citizen's National Bank, and The Lodge Retirement Community.
And soon at a special "stamping table" at the Loveland Post Office, if you'd like to personally drop off your Valentine cards for stamping, Chamber volunteers will be set up during the first two weeks in February from 10 AM until 4 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM until 2 PM on Saturdays.

Nancy Sullivan’s art studio
Saturday, January 10
Loveland Artists Studios On Main
Thursday, Ethan developed abdominal issues and at 9:15 PM Ethan went into Operating Room for exploratory abdominal surgery.
Up-Date
Ethan came out of surgery beautifully and is resting comfortably. The doctors found and corrected a significant bowel obstruction which Ethan had developed, and he will continue his recovery in the ICU.
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.
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.

President Barack Obama held his year-end press conference Friday. Before leaving for vacation, the president signed the ABLE Act. (Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/TNS)
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, 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.

Infants, children and teenagers are most likely to become sick, as they have had less time to develop the natural immunity inherent in older persons.
Symptoms are similar to cold and flu, such as coughing, body and muscle aches, fever and sometimes, a skin rash.
Enterovirus is spread through contact with body fluids – i.e. droplets from coughs or sneezes, bodily secretions, or through contact with surfaces infected with the virus from such fluids.
There is no vaccination or specific treatment for enterovirus. Many infections require treatment of only the symptoms.
If your child has conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis or other potentially immune - or respiratory - compromising conditions and develops symptoms, contact your pediatrician, physician, care center or hospital.
To help prevent transmission:
• Wash hands often using soap and water.
• Avoid contact with individuals displaying cold symptoms.
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as toys, doorknobs, countertops, etc., especially where someone is ill.
• Contact your medical professional with concerns.
In children
In addition to the signs above, get medical help right away for any infant who has any of these signs:
In adults
Yes. There are drugs your doctor may prescribe for treating the flu called “antivirals.” These drugs can make you better faster and may also prevent serious complications. See Treatment - Antiviral Drugs for more information.
CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or other necessities. Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as Tylenol®. You should stay home from work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings.
Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from infecting them. If you must leave home, for example to get medical care, wear a facemask if you have one, or cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Wash your hands often to keep from spreading flu to others. Visit the Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Home guide for more information.
Seasonal influenza, also known as the flu, is an illness that causes fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. It is usually spread from person to person by coughing and sneezing. Flu season in Ohio can begin as early as October and run as late as March. However, it is not uncommon for sporadic cases to appear all year long.
Most people who get the flu usually recover in one to two weeks, but the flu can be deadly. An estimated 200,000 people are hospitalized with the flu each year in the U.S. On average, it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 flu related deaths. Not all of these deaths are directly related to the flu but many are – and possibly could be prevented with a flu vaccine.
Flu vaccines are designed to protect against the influenza viruses that experts predict will be the most common during the upcoming season. Three kinds of influenza viruses commonly circulate among people today: Influenza A (H1N1) viruses, influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and influenza B viruses. Each year, these viruses are used to produce seasonal influenza vaccine.

Loveland, Ohio - On the Fall, National Signing Day, Loveland High School's Sarah Marlatt committed to play Division I volleyball for the University of Memphis Tigers. Loveland High School Athletic Director, Julie Renner said, "Sarah has worked really hard to get to this point... and it's not easy getting to this point."
This video is from a ceremony held at the media center at the high school to honor Marlatt. In 2012, she was on the "Elevation 15 Ulland Junior National Champion, Gold Division Team. She lettered for four years at Loveland. She was on the 2012 Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship team. In 2014, Marlatt was selected to play in the OHSVCA All-Star game after being named to the all-district team.
Sarah is the daughter of Andrew and Karen Marlatt, and comes from a background of athletics. Her sister Lauren played college volleyball at Winthrop and her father and uncle (Patrick) each played football at the professional level. Andrew is also a former Loveland head football coach, and Miami University coach.
Memphis head volleyball coach, April Jauregui said announcing Marallt's signing:
“Sarah brings size and strength to our middle blocker position. We look for Sarah to immediately compete in that position. Not only does she bring power and size, but she also is a great fit in terms of our team dynamic. She has such a great work ethic and positive spirit that will mesh well with our current team. Sarah understands the work of college athletics being a coach’s kid. She knows the rigors of travel and the dedication needed to perform at a high level. I look forward to seeing Sarah grow this coming club season in preparation for her collegiate career.”
Sarah was named to the 1st Team All ECC Conference and 1st Team All City in 2014.

If you bought a cut tree for the holidays, remember to “treecycle”: Recycling your cut Christmas tree, so that it can be used as compost or mulch. Recycled trees can also be used in fish habitats, for beachfront erosion or shoreline stabilization projects.
Locally, many communities and the Clermont County Park District offer opportunities to treecycle. Before you take your tree to a collection site or haul it to the curb for pickup, be sure to remove all lights, tinsel and decorations.
Where to go:
Amelia: Curbside pickup is available on Mondays during regular yard waste pickup.
Loveland: The City's Christmas tree collection program will begin on Friday, January 2, and run for three weeks. Crews from the Public Works Department will pass through the City once a week to collect trees from the curbside.
Residents can also call City Hall at 513-707-1439 and leave a message with their address and a crew will pick-up the tree from the curb.
Pick-up is not guaranteed for the same day but residents should set the tree at the curb for collection at the time they call for pick-up.
