$75,000 raised as locals march for babies

 

Loveland High School cheerleaders cheered at the finish line of the Clermont County March of Dimes walk in Miami Meadows Park.

 

Ohio House Representative Doug Green presented both Senate and House proclamations to Clermont County March of Dimes Ambassador Family: Heather, Kaylee and Liam Mason

 

Premature birth is the most urgent infant health problem in the U.S. today

 

It was the best feel-good moment when approximately 550 residents joined together in support of the smallest citizens of Clermont County—babies—by participating in the 2013 March for Babies to benefit the March of Dimes. Miami Meadows Park was packed with strollers, families and corporate teams who raised more than $75,000 to help babies be born healthy.

Special guests at the day’s events included March for Babies Chair, David Smith and The Mason Family, the 2013 Clermont County Ambassador Family. Also, House of Representative Doug Green joined walkers on the route as local DJ Big Daddy Walker provided tunes to keep the energy high.

‘We’ve seen today how important the health of moms and babies are to the people of Clermont County,” said 2013 March for Babies Chair, David Smith. “I’m so proud to be part of a community where people come together for such a great cause. Helping our babies should be a top priority, and we’re excited about what we’ve accomplished here today.”

“It was a memorable and rewarding day for all of us,” said Heather Mason, whose son served as the 2013 Clermont County Ambassador. “When  Liam was born 11 weeks premature, we decided we wanted to do everything possible to give other families a happy result.  We’re honored to represent the March of Dimes today in return for all the support they’ve given us and our family.”

Premature birth is the most urgent infant health problem in the U.S. today. It affects more than half a million babies each year, including 17,007 in Ohio.  In November, the March of Dimes issued its annual Premature Birth Report Card, giving the nation a “C” and Ohio a “C” grade.  Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have lifelong disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research to find the answers to premature birth and providing comfort and information to affected families. 

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide and its premier event, March for Babies, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Angie Settell reminds motorists of their responsibility approaching crosswalks

 

 

Council members, Linda Cox, Mark Fitzgerald, and Angie Settell wore tees designed by Loveland 8th grader Autumn Binford at last night's council meeting.

 

"We really need to talk more about drivers who I would suggest have more responsibility in their 2,000 plus vehicles. Crosswalk signs are routinely ignored and many drivers are clueless about what the law requires"

 

Councilwoman, Angie Settell spoke about "Crosswalk Safety Week" in Loveland at last night's council meeting and emphasized motorists responsibility when approaching crosswalks. She thanked "my friend Autum Binford" for her efforts promoting a "Culture of Pedestrian Safety" in the city. She also thanked businesses who allowed Autum's flyers to be placed where customers can see them.

Cory Schmidt interviewed about your gas and electric bills

 

Did you get this letter?

by David Miller

Loveland, Oh. - Last week I sat down with Management Analyst Corey Schmidt and asked him to explain to Loveland Magazine readers the program now underway to switch a resident's energy provider.

By now most homeowners and businesses should have received two letter in the mail. One is a notice that your electric supplier will be switched from Duke Energy to FirstEnergy Solutions. The second, is a letter informing you that your gas supplier will no longer be Duke Energy, but IGS Energy.

Voters allowed this program to move forward last fall when they approved two energy aggregation ballot issues.

Since that time the city has hired an energy consultant who has negotiated lower "bulk" prices for the community. The rates are lower than customers are currently paying.

The energy aggregation program allows residents to benefit from bulk purchasing power, according to Schmidt.

The "opt-out letters" from IGS Energy and FirstEnergy show the City of Loveland’s logo.

Those receiving opt-out letters will be automatically enrolled in the program unless they choose to opt-out. There is no cost for enrollment, and you do not need to do anything to be enrolled.

If you chose not to be part of the program, you must take action and respond to the letters you receive.

In the interview, Schmidt talks about the origins of the program beginning with voter approval, and tells you what rates you will soon be paying. He also explains why some customers will not receive these letters, and what to do if you later change your mind. He also explains why the city chose to offer residents and businesses the "opt out" option.

Schmidt asks that if you have questions regarding gas aggregation, call IGS Energy at 1-800-280-4474. For questions about electric aggregation call FirstEnergy Solutions at 1-866-636-3749. For general inquiries, call Schmidt at 513-707-1455.

History plus art equals innovative learning experience

 

LES fourth graders Scott Sheakley Jr., Luke Faessler, Matthew Lodge, Aaron Krabacher, Alex Christow Moreno and Jacob Kim

Community invited to view LES ‘Bottle Buddy’ creations on display at Loveland Public Library

 

Loveland Elementary School (LES) students in Paul Tanaka’s fourth grade class didn’t simply learn about famous Ohioans during history studies; the students created “Bottle Buddies” of the celebrated historic figures.

“An extraordinary biography will have parallel features of a memorable lesson: heart, enthusiasm, creativity, and research,” said Tanaka. “It’s tremendously motivating to help students create a masterpiece using their unique gifts and talents.”

All 50 Bottle Buddies that make up the class project are on display for the community to view at the Loveland Public Library until Friday, May 17.

“We are thrilled the Loveland Public Library thought this lesson was worthy of display,” said Jennifer Forren, LES principal. “This is just one more example of how our teachers think outside of the textbook to help our students learn, and we are proud to have this project available for the community to enjoy.”
