    When you walk in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Walks, you join efforts with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP’s vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives. The walks raise awareness about depression and suicide, and provide comfort and assistance to those who have lost someone to suicide.

    November 16: Area of the City that has a Monday trash pickup.

    The following are guidelines established for the brush pick-up program:

    1. Limbs cannot exceed 10” in diameter at the cut section.
    2. Small twigs and sticks should be bundled with twine in bundles 12” in diameter. Twigs or sticks can also be placed in a container at the curb, but no other yard waste should be in the containers. Please, no loose piles of sticks and debris.
    3. Limbs should be placed at the curb with the cut section facing the street and all limbs should be facing the same direction. This makes it easier and faster to handle.
    4. Brush must be placed at the curb or edge of roadway. Do NOT place brush in the roadway, gutter, ditches, or on sidewalks. Do NOT block fire hydrants.
    5. No leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, or other yard waste will be collected.

    Any material not meeting these requirements cannot be collected and will be left at the curb.

    Wood chips will be available at the Public Works Department, 10980 Loveland-Madeira Road. Anyone in the City who would like a full load of wood chips should call 513-707-1439.

    Outside the regular pick-up schedule, residents are encouraged to come to City Hall to get a free voucher to drop off yard waste to Evans Landscaping.

    ballet-tech-adMonarch Waystation Coming to LMIS

    They are beautiful. They are world-class travelers. And they are vanishing. But through a special
    project at Little Miami Intermediate School (LMIS), monarch butterflies are getting a helping hand.

    LMIS sixth grade teacher Stephanie Baldwin recently won a $500 grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to construct a monarch butterfly way station on the grounds of the school.

    According to the Cincinnati Nature Center, monarch butterfly populations have decreased 90% over the past two decades, mostly due to loss of habitat. Monarchs travel each spring from their overwintering sites in Mexico to their summer habitats in the United States and Canada. Along the way, they lay their eggs on milkweed, as it is the only food monarch butterfly caterpillars can eat.

    As areas have become more developed, milkweed has disappeared from the landscape, and in turn, so have monarchs.
