DeWine’s COVID-19 Update: Vaccine Distribution, Nursing Home Cases Drop, more…

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted yesterday provided the following updates on Ohio’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

VACCINE DISTRIBUTION UPDATE

Governor DeWine announced today that Ohio received a total of 214,525 first doses of vaccine this week. A total of 223,025 first doses are scheduled to arrive in Ohio during the week of February 15.

The federal retail pharmacy program will soon begin allotting doses to Ohio’s more than 160 Rite Aid pharmacies. Vaccine distribution will also expand into all 194 Kroger pharmacies.

Those with specific medical conditions that put them at a very high risk of dying from COVID-19 will be eligible for vaccinations next week.

Ohioans born with the medical conditions outlined below, or those who were diagnosed in early childhood whose conditions continued into adulthood, will qualify to be vaccinated beginning on February 15.

Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, chief medical officer at Ohio Department of Health, explained these conditions in more detail. His remarks are available on the Ohio Channel’s YouTube page.

Approximately 12,000 individuals with these severe medical conditions and developmental disabilities have already been vaccinated, and vaccinations of those in this group will continue.

NURSING HOME CASES

Governor DeWine announced today that the number of COVID-19 cases in Ohio’s nursing homes has dropped more than 77 percent since late November. This dramatic drop in cases follows Ohio’s aggressive efforts to vaccinate residents and staff in Ohio’s long-term care facilities.

As outlined in the chart below, there were 2,697 COVID-19 cases in long-term care facilities in Ohio during the week of November 29, 2021. During the week of January 17, there were 612 positive cases.

SCHOOL MODEL UPDATE

Governor DeWine shared the latest information on the number of school districts that are physically in school versus those that are fully or partially remote. As a condition to receive priority access to the vaccine, schools were required to commit to full or partial in-person learning by March 1. All but one school district in Ohio have committed to this plan.

OHIO PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY SYSTEM

There was no change in this week’s Ohio Public Health Advisory System map. A county-by-county breakdown outlining the presence of COVID-19 in all of Ohio’s 88 counties can be found on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System’s website.

CURRENT CASE DATA (2-12-21)

In total, there are 931,437 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 reported in Ohio and 12,577 confirmed and probable COVID-19 deaths. A total of 48,269 people have been hospitalized throughout the pandemic, including 6,908 admissions to intensive care units. In-depth data can be accessed by visiting coronavirus.ohio.gov.

Know The Signs: You can prevent gun violence and other harmful acts

People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence. If you don’t know what to look for, it can be easy to miss the signs, or dismiss them as unimportant. Significantly, missing the signs can have tragic consequences. Notably, in 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it.

Now more than ever, it’s essential to know the signs. Students and educators who participate in our Say Something program learn these life-saving warning signs. They’re taught to recognize signs and get help when their classmates show they may be in danger or need help. Warning signs can include things such as thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors. At-risk people can show significant or sudden changes in behavior or personality.

9 Critical Warning Signs of Violence

Here is our list of nine potential warning signs* that can signal an individual may be in crisis or need help:

1. Suddenly withdrawing from friends, family and activities (including online or via social media)

2. Making statements or engaging in behavior meant to intimidate or mock others based on real or perceived differences (including race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.)

3. Excessive irritability, lack of patience, or becoming angry quickly

4. Experiencing chronic loneliness or social isolation

5. Expressing persistent thoughts of harming themselves or someone else

6. Making direct threats toward a place, another person, or themselves

7. Bragging about access to guns or weapons

8. Recruiting accomplices or audiences for an attack

9. Directly expressing a threat as a plan

* NOTE: This isn’t a complete list of all warning signs. Exhibiting one of these signs doesn’t necessarily indicate imminent violence. When concerned about troubling behaviors, tell a trusted adult or call 911 if there is an immediate threat.

Cindy Wilmes: Stellar photos of a spectacular sunset on the trail

**Cindy Wilmes is a resident of Loveland**

Loveland, Ohio – Our community has a lazy river flowing down its center – the main artery of the “SweetHEART of Ohio”. It is the Little Miami, with State and National “Scenic River” designation.

“Thank you for the opportunity to share some of the beautiful photos I captured of Loveland,” said Cindy Wilmes, a long-time resident of our quaint town. Here’s a little bit about Cindy to help set the tone for her passion for living in the land of love.

“It soothes my soul and feeds my love for adventure.”

Cindy is Loveland native; her parents went to Loveland schools, met in Loveland, and decided to raise a family here. “When I moved out after college, I chose to continue the legacy and buy a house in Loveland – close to my community and a huge fan of this small town, I’m thankful to put roots down in this city,” she said. She tells Loveland Magazine that she is on the Loveland Bike Trail almost every day running or biking. “The bike trail has been an avenue of fresh air, amazing wildlife, and views I can’t ignore. It soothes my soul and feeds my love for adventure.”

About the photographs

I caught this spectacular sunset on the trail while out for a cold evening run. It’s my favorite spot on the bike path, as the river curves around part of the woods before heading downstream. No matter how many times I catch this view, I still stand in awe.

Cindy said, “Proud to call this town my home, my goal ever since I was little was to grow up and be the Loveland Valentine Lady—and it still is. As a young adult, I want to advocate for my city and love capturing those moments that make this town so unique.”

LOVELAND: The Land of Love

I love my small town! Some days feel like you may be stuck in a Gilmore Girls episode—the bells chime every hour, people wave as you run by, there are small shops to peruse—not to mention, the beautiful bike trail. Lots of time spent around town taking in the view—love my hometown!

Loveland Middle School Drama presents Mary Poppins Jr., November 21-23

Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland Middle School Drama Department is presenting Mary Poppins Jr., November 21-23.

The jack-of-all-trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”

Loveland Middle School’s Catie Rudisell wins regional award by the OMLA

Columbus, Ohio – Catie Rudisell, a science teacher at Loveland Middle School (LMS), has earned an award by the Ohio Middle Level Association (OMLA) in recognition of her outstanding qualities and her commitment and contributions to middle level education. Rudisell was one of four award recipients from the Southwest Region recognized at the 2019 OMLA State Conference in Columbus, November 7-8.

**Catie Rudisell, a science teacher at Loveland Middle School, was recognized with the Regional Award at the annual OMLA State Conference in Columbus on November 7** (Photo credit: Dustan Muir)

“Ms. Rudisell is what I refer to as a ‘game changer,’ in and outside the classroom,” said LMS Principal Charles Ogdan. “She is a professional, transformational teacher and a leader by example. She initiated the process of standards based grading about five years ago, and led the entire middle school science department through the process, resulting in truly engaging students with the goal of content mastery.”

In 2018, LMS earned the prestigious Student and Staff Recognition Award by the OMLA for its culture creation practices. Students and staff continue to be recognized weekly based on four core values: Grit (hard work), Rise (improvement), Innovation (creativity) and Leadership (distinguished leadership). Students also have the opportunity to win a seat at the monthly Principal’s Lunch based on their display of the same core values, and to earn prizes for perfect attendance.

“We have amazing students and a top-notch staff at LMS,” said Ogdan. “My vision for our school is one where all students and staff have an ever-present ‘growth mindset.’ Ms. Rudisell, who always thinks of new and innovative ways to engage her students and extend their learning, is the perfect example of that.”

Council candidate asks, “Who’s watching out for Loveland’s resident taxpayers?”

by Cory O’Donnell

Who’s watching out for Loveland’s resident taxpayers? Our city leaders have ventured down a road with a questionable road map. The city is in the midst of possibly the most expensive civic project ever with $7+ million of resident taxpayer money on the line to construct a parking garage.

Cory O’Donnell lives in the White Pillars Subdivision and is a Loveland City Council Candidate

Who would argue the need for a parking facility given the explosion of visitors to the downtown area? Certainly, there needs to be adequate parking to support the masses that want to enjoy the available offerings. Visitors welcome the day when they don’t have to circle the downtown area for what seems to be an eternity to secure a valuable parking spot. Alternatively, some come to spend their time and money only to turn around and go home…nowhere to park.

Imagine the business owners that are giddy with the prospect of the resident taxpayers footing the bill to get more cash through their doors. Who could blame them for the smiles on their faces? Not me; what a gift!

But here’s where the roadmap leads to resident taxpayer disaster. There is no published plan to recover the $7+ million and make the taxpayers whole. Further, my calculator can’t get to a full lot, 365 days a year for 30 years, that will recover resident taxpayer investment.

I am far from knowledgeable about developing, constructing and managing a public parking garage. My assumption is our city leaders are well versed in public policy, zoning, codes, and other daily municipal functions, but there are specialists in private development that have the knowledge and expertise to make this happen on a for-profit basis.

Is it too late to get the proper road map that assures resident taxpayers are not left holding this massive debt?

P.S. Our city is already committed to close to $48,000 annually in debt service for the Christman Farm property on Butterworth Road acquired in 2007 which has remained vacant all these years and has disappeared from the city council’s interest. This translates to hundreds of thousands of resident taxpayer’s dollars being flushed down the proverbial toilet for too many more years.

Can you afford more? Who’s going to step up to the plate and get the answers?
