    Child life specialists are trained professionals with expertise in helping children and their families overcome life’s most challenging events. Armed with a strong background in child development and family systems, child life specialists promote effective coping through play, preparation, education, and self-expression activities. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to healthcare and hospitalization. Because they understand that a child’s well being depends on the support of the family, child life specialists provide information, support and guidance to parents, siblings, and family members. In a disaster, evidenced based interventions point to the specific value of child-centered play opportunities by child life specialists trained in children’s trauma and grief responses.

    This is where Child Life Disaster Relief comes in. We deploy certified child life specialists -across the nation- to work with families and children faced with unfamiliar disaster situations to provide coping skills and emotional support.

    Please join us at Great American Ball Park on Friday, September 8th in support of our organization. A dollar amount per ticket sold through this link will go back to Child Life Disaster Relief. The Cincinnati Reds will face off the St. Louis Cardinals at 6:40pm, while wearing their new City Connect jerseys. The gates will open 90 minutes before the first pitch.

    Immediately after the game, there will be Friday Night Fireworks, which is free for those with a game ticket. We hope to see you there!

    by David Miller

    Loveland, Ohio – Greetings and welcome to summer 2023. Year 13 of the Captain Seth Mitchell Hero 5K is in the books and in many ways, it was a record year.  Donations and race participation were near record highs.

    The Scholarship team recognizes how many opportunities you have to donate to worthy causes and truly appreciates you being a partner with us whether it’s your first year or year 13.

    Steve Mitchell, father of Seth says, “Connie, Drew, and I and the scholarship committee are blessed by your support. For 2023 your support helped to provide three $5,000.00 scholarships and four  $250.00 gifts to deserving students.”

    The date and time for the 14th Annual Captain Seth Mitchell Hero 5k is Saturday, October 14, at 10 AM. Due to city construction, the race will not be in Nisbet Park. The 5K will launch from the Linda Cox Trailside Parking Lot.

    The Carolina Beach version will be Saturday, October 21, at 9 AM starting at Green Turtle Lane in Wilmington North Carolina the home of Connie and Steve Mitchell.

    You can also join us virtually, anywhere from around the world, to honor and celebrate Seth during the month of October. The virtual run can be done anytime, anywhere.

    Registration for both events and donations is now open at:  www.sethmitchellhero5k.org.

    Meet the recipients of the 2023 scholarships

    Alex Saletta

    The Let Us Never Forget/Mitchell Family Scholarship is funded by the Mitchells, the Yellow Ribbon Support Group of Cincinnati, and the Hero 5K run. The scholarship is for $5,000.00.

    The 2023 recipient reminded us of Seth in so many ways.  The recipient has a high-level work ethic, and is polite, and respectful and is loyal and selfless.  Seth Mitchell was often described as having these characteristics.  One letter of recommendation described the recipient as “a lot like Seth, because he is a stand-up guy that does the right thing.” Much like Seth this recipient has faced adversity in life and had to work to overcome and persevere in the presence of obstacles.

    We are very proud to award the Let Us Never Forget Seth Mitchell/Mitchell Family scholarship to Alex Saletta.

    Allison "Ally” Ginder
    Allison “Ally” Ginder

    The Seth Mitchell Memorial Scholarships are funded by individual donations and the proceeds of the annual Captain Seth Mitchell Hero 5K. The Mitchell family is especially thankful to all the participants, the City of Loveland, The Loveland Schools Foundation, the Carolina Beach NC participants, and to those of you that donate to this worthy cause.

    The first recipient of the Seth Mitchell Memorial Scholarship has overcome medical challenges early on in life, and became stronger and more determined to make the most of every day. Her story reminded us of Seth overcoming his own failings in school to later become LHS Class President in 1997 and later a Cobra Helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps. Life’s obstacles will always be there. This recipient and Seth did not let those stand in their way.

    One letter of recommendation for this candidate said: those around this candidate are “inspired” by the recipient’s kindness and amiability.  Those words were often used about Seth. Lastly, one supporter of this recipient said, “I am guessing that if she went to high school with Captain Mitchell, they would have a lot in common and would have been friends.”

    We believe that also and are proud to award a scholarship to Allison “Ally” Ginder.

    Skylar Lundeen

    The second recipient of the Seth Mitchell Memorial Scholarship also exemplifies many of the qualities and characteristics associated with Seth.  In this recipient’s introductory video, the candidate said, Seth exhibited the epitome of “selflessness” was “inspiring” and that there should be “more people like him.”  We believe that’s exactly who this recipient is too.  The recipient is known to be deeply loyal to friends at school and her family.  One letter of recommendation described the recipient as a “quiet leader” and that “school is not something that comes easy”, but this person “pushes herself and does not take the easy road.”  The recommendation also said, “she’s growing up faster than she should” due to obstacles in life.  The recipient has a strong academic and extracurricular record.  Her work ethic and ability to overcome obstacles is inspiring to us.  We are proud to award a Seth Mitchell Memorial Scholarship to Skylar Lundeen.

    Those receiving a $250.00 gift from the Seth Mitchell Memorial fund are:

    Lily Hummer

    Michael Dakoske

    Lucie Schaeffer

    Tyler Harter

    _______________________

    Seth Mitchell, a captain and pilot in the United States Marine Corps and a 1997 Loveland High School graduate, was killed in action in Afghanistan in October 2009.  Seth contributed greatly to the Loveland community in his youth… he served as a leader and role model on the varsity football team, was voted to be Class President his senior year, and was named “Mr. Personality” by his peers.  He was well loved here.  After graduating, he took that same sense of service and loyalty into all that he did: as a son, a brother, a friend, a leader in the Marines.

    In other words, Seth was a hero for all.

    We are a group of Seth Mitchell’s high school classmates, who miss our friend and want to keep his memory alive.  We represent the many people who Seth made an impression on with his sense of humor, kind heart, and loyal friendship.  As we organize this 5k Race and the scholarship memorial fund, we are motivated by one enduring inspiration: to live each day a little more honorably, kindly, and humbly… just like Seth. 

    Please join us by donating, running, or volunteering – and keep Seth’s memory alive.

  • Miami vs. Miami? That’ll be confusing on Sept. 1st

    Miami vs. Miami? That’ll be confusing on Sept. 1st

    Written by Donna Boen, Miamian editor

    OXFORD, OH – Heaven help the announcer when Miami University plays the University of Miami in football on September 1st.

    “Miami is within sight of Miami’s end zone with two downs to go. Miami calls a timeout.”

    Huh?

    The game will be played in Coral Gables, Florida and you can listen on the ACC Network Radio and the Miami Radio Network.
    The confusion isn’t our fault. We tried to persuade the Florida school to change its name after it was chartered in 1925 — 116 years after Miami University’s charter. When I say “we,” I mean the Miami University president at the time, Raymond M. Hughes, Class of 1893, and several Miamians.

    In a Feb. 10, 1927, letter to President Hughes, alumnus George Shuman shared a letter of protest that he was sending to the president and trustees of the Florida institution. Shuman went on to propose that President Hughes “have Miami students all over the country send in their protest against the use of the Miami name by any other university.”

    In his protest, Shuman stated that he felt the University of Miami was “doing a very great injustice to my alma mater in stealing the name.” He suggested changing to Everglades University or the University of Southern Florida.

    Shuman doesn’t explain what motivated his protest. However, a letter sent to President Hughes six days later by another alumnus referenced a protest by Alfred H. Upham, Class of 1897 and 1898, in the February 1927 Bulletin, the alumni magazine of its day. At the time he submitted his letter to the editor, Upham was president of the University of Idaho. He would become president of Miami University a year later.

    In his introduction, Upham wrote, “Since the first announcements, more than a year ago, regarding the new University of Miami in Florida, I have looked in vain for even the mildest protest from the alumni and friends of our own Miami University.

    “Presumably names of collegiate institutions are not copyrighted and these good citizens of Florida have the legal right to adopt such a name as they choose. But they certainly have not much moral right to usurp the name of a university which has established itself by more than a century of sound scholarship and effective educational service.

    “Generations before the now famous winter metropolis of fashion was even heard of, Miami University was established, taking its name from the rivers which in turn had been named for a local Indian tribe.”

    Near his conclusion, Upham wrote, “There are so many perfectly good names for a new and aspiring university. What justification or justice is there in appropriating one that has made its place in the academic world through more than a century of achievement?”

    Phillip Shriver, president of Miami from 1965-1981, and forever the historian, kept the series of letters in his papers. They eventually ended up with President Shriver’s son, R. Scott ’78 MEd ’95, who located them last month and shared them with Tom Fey ’68 of Oxford, Ohio.

    In a Feb. 21, 1927, letter to another frustrated alumnus, President Hughes wrote, “I have voiced the sentiments of the alumni to the president of University of Miami. As I told you, I do not think we have any right in the matter, but undoubtedly large confusion will arise from this joint use of the same name, which will be very embarrassing in the educational field.”

    The University of Miami’s leader, Bowman F. Ashe, president from 1926-1952, was both sympathetic and apologetic. In a March 5, 1929, letter to Miami University’s new president, A.H. Upham, he wrote:

    “I had some correspondence two years ago with President Hughes about the matter, and the Board seriously considered changing the name to the University of Southern Florida. The difficulty in that is that it would again raise some confusion in connection with our state university, and it might also have some effect upon municipal appropriations which we receive from the city of Miami.

    “We are now, so far as possible, in our own publications, using the full name ‘The University of Miami, Florida.’

    “May I assure you that I will do everything possible to prevent the confusion of the names, and it is possible that at some future time there may even be a change in the name here which would end the confusion for all time.”

    And here we are, nearly 100 years later, and the confusion continues.
