Loveland, Oh. – The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has issued an Air Quality Advisory for Thursday, June 11 for Loveland, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio and Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties in Kentucky.
The Agency expects to see levels of ozone and particles in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” range on the Air Quality Index (AQI).
Children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
Key Facts to Know About Ozone:
Ozone in the air we breathe can cause serious health problems, including breathing difficulty, asthma attacks, lung damage, and early death.
Ozone forms in the sun, usually on hot summer days. Ozone is worse in the afternoon and early evening, so plan outdoor activities for the morning.
You can reduce your exposure to ozone and still get exercise! Use the Air Quality Index (AQI) at www.airnow.gov to plan your activity.
What is ozone?
Ozone is a colorless gas that can be good or bad, depending on where it is. Ozone in the stratosphere is good because it shields the earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Ozone at ground level, where we breathe, is bad because it can harm human health.
Ozone forms when two types of pollutants (VOCs and NOx) react in sunlight. These pollutants come from sources such as vehicles, industries, power plants, and products such as solvents and paints.
Why is ozone a problem?
Ozone can cause a number of health problems, including coughing, breathing difficulty, and lung damage. Exposure to ozone can make the lungs more susceptible to infection, aggravate lung diseases, increase the frequency of asthma attacks, and increase the risk of early death from heart or lung disease.
Do I need to be concerned?
Even healthy adults can experience ozone’s harmful effects, but some people may be at greater risk. They include:
People with lung disease such as asthma
Children, including teenagers, because their lungs are still developing and they breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults
Older adults
People who are active outdoors, including outdoor workers
How can I protect my children and myself?
Use the Air Quality Index (AQI) to plan outdoor activities. To keep the AQI handy, sign up for EnviroFlash emails, get the free AirNow app, or install the free widget on your website. Find all of these tools at www.airnow.gov.
Stay healthy: exercise, eat a balanced diet, and keep asthma under control with your asthma action plan.
When you see that the AQI is unhealthy, take simple steps to reduce your exposure:
Choose a less-strenuous activity
Take more breaks during outdoor activity
Reschedule activities to the morning or to another day
Move your activity inside where ozone levels are usually lower
Can I help reduce ozone?
Yes! Here are a few tips.
Turn off lights you are not using
Drive less: carpool, use public transportation, bike or walk
Keep your engine tuned, and don’t let your engine idle
Do not re-fuel on Alert Days. When refueling: stop when the pump shuts off, avoid spilling fuel, and tighten your gas cap
Inflate tires to the recommended pressure
Use low-VOC paint and cleaning products, and seal and store them so they can’t evaporate
Watch for Air Quality Action Days in your area

Peggy Johnson – 15 year veteran as a high school administrator – to begin serving as LHS principal starting August 1
Current Turpin Principal
Loveland, Oh. – The Loveland City School District has announced that beginning August 1, Loveland High School (LHS) will be under the leadership of Principal Peggy Johnson. The Loveland Board of Education will hold a special meeting Wednesday, June 10, to make the announcement official.
“To put it simply – we are thrilled,” said Loveland Superintendent Chad Hilliker. “Mrs. Johnson has the experience and the vision to take our already outstanding high school to the next level for our students. The administrative team went to great lengths to ensure we understood exactly what type of leader we needed to propel the LHS academic program forward – surveying students, staff and parents – and Mrs. Johnson was a perfect fit. We could not be more excited to welcome her to the Tiger Family.”
“Working for and with young people in all facets of the high school experience with dedicated and passionate educators is the most rewarding profession in society,” said Johnson. “I am as, if not more, excited today to interact with and provide a challenging and varied curriculum for all students as they choose their pathway to college and/or career. More opportunities exist for students today than ever before in our history. The talents of our high school students never cease to amaze me.”
Johnson received a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech/Language Pathology in 1981 from Miami University, and a Master of Education in Special Education (hearing impaired) from the University of Cincinnati in 1982. She served students with hearing impairments and other disabilities as a teacher in Hamilton City Schools for 17 years, and earned a Master of Education in Educational Administration in 1999, becoming a Special Education Supervisor for two years.
Johnson was hired as an Assistant Principal of Student Life at Turpin High School in the Forest Hills School District in 2001. She was named Principal of Turpin High School that next summer. Under her leadership the administrative team and faculty at Turpin earned many honors and recognitions during her 15 year tenure.
“Turpin has afforded me the opportunity to travel with the Marching Spartans to the Macy’s Day Parade and the New Year’s Parade in London. Likewise, I traveled with advanced Spanish students and faculty to Costa Rica and with faculty members to China. But every day and many evenings, I enjoy the talents of young people on the field, the stage, in the classroom and in the community. Young people continue to amaze us all with their abilities, talents and passions.
“Believe it or not, I student taught in Loveland all those years ago at Branch Hill!
Living in Warren County for 25 years and being in the same athletic conference as the Tigers for the last 15 years, has given me so many opportunities to watch the Loveland School Community in action whether it’s a band performance or an athletic event. The involvement of the students, educators, parents and community makes the youngest of our students want to be Tigers for life!”
Johnson has an adult son and daughter, a 14-year-old grandson and 21-month-old granddaughter.
This district is planning a community-wide reception to formally welcome Johnson to LHS in August.
