  • Loveland High School Biotech class unique opportunity for Tiger Innovation

    Loveland High School Biotech class unique opportunity for Tiger Innovation

    Loveland Seniors Brandon Bishop, Sophia Sperry and Zach Garner celebrated after successfully completing their capstone project

    Senior capstone captures college-level results

    Loveland, Ohio – It’s called Biotech, and at Loveland High School (LHS) it is a two-year course commitment that all students have the option to apply for. The pinnacle for coursework in this class is the biotechnology capstone – a student-selected research project that Biotech students complete their senior year.

    “Every year I’m captivated by the advances to high school science our students have the ability to make – they just never cease to amaze me,” said LHS Biotech Teacher Jamie Allison.

    “Every year I’m captivated by the advances to high school science our students have the ability to make – they just never cease to amaze me,” said LHS Biotech Teacher Jamie Allison.

    This year, three students used high school research to achieve college-level results. LHS seniors Sophia Sperry, Zach Garner and Brandon Bishop conducted an experiment which successfully proved the ability for solid lipid nanoparticles to be used as vehicles for medicine, reducing side effects that are typical as pharmaceutical drugs travel through the body.

    “It was just kind of a surreal moment for me,” said LHS Senior Brandon Bishop. “None of us really thought it worked at first – we were skeptical, but Mr. Allison confirmed what we were seeing.”

    The successful experiment – conducted in March 2018, which confirmed studies they had seen produced by college-level students, was the final chapter in a research project the trio had been working on since September 2017. The students selected the capstone project based on a motivation to conduct research that could help others.

    “We just wanted to find something that could really change the world and help give people better chances of surviving disease,” said LHS Senior Zach Garner.

    “We just wanted to find something that could really change the world and help give people better chances of surviving disease,” said LHS Senior Zach Garner.

    “This is our Tiger Innovation goal at its finest,” said Loveland Director of Technology and Innovation David Knapp. “What our LHS Biotech class allowed Sophia, Zach and Brandon to experience in the lab is part of our strategic plan for innovative learning for all of our students – to allow them to work collaboratively with peers, teachers and professionals in the field to tackle real-world problems. We are very proud of what they achieved.”

    “Many students sadly don’t have the chance to get involved in this type of research,” said LHS Senior Sophia Sperry. “This class really opens up the opportunity for students to get a taste of what happens in the real research world.”

  • Have you heard “extremely loud belching noise” in Little River Lane area?

    Have you heard “extremely loud belching noise” in Little River Lane area?

    Belching husband or is the Loveland Frog Man back?

    Loveland, Ohio – A reader contacted Loveland Magazine this morning asking if anyone else has heard the “extremely loud belching noise” coming from a creek in the Little River Lane area.

    She said:

    I wanted to relate something that happened last night in the hope that someone else may have heard the same thing and reported it.

    My husband and I live at Little River Lane, with a creek in the back that empties into the Little Miami. We had our windows open and in the past have heard coyotes, owls, skunks, raccoons but last night something very odd was heard by both of us.

    I was dead asleep and heard this extremely loud belching noise coming from what I thought was our downstairs and perhaps my husband. He was not there but rather in the basement. So upon returning to the upstairs, we both heard the extremely loud belching sound coming from the creek. He went out with a flashlight and an air horn to scare whatever it was away.

    He reported he heard some splashing and scuttling in the creek by a dog size animal.  This happened around 1:30 AM.  We returned to sleep but the “thing” returned to belch.

    I have to say it was so loud it could have come from a cow. The horse and not the zebra would be a bullfrog, but if so this must have been one large bullfrog!  Is the Loveland Frog Man back?

    If you have also recently heard an “extremely loud belching noise” in the Little River Lane area or elsewhere along the Little Miami, please contact Loveland Magazine at editor@lovelandmagazine.com and we will pass the information along to our reader.

  • Dysons propose alternate to spending $1.6 M on new 12′ bike road

    Dysons propose alternate to spending $1.6 M on new 12′ bike road

    This is a reprint of an Email the Dyson’s sent to City Manager Dave Kennedy and Loveland Magazine after they read our Editorial: No public input sought on new one-lane asphalt road that will cozy within feet of the front doors of homes and businesses in the W. Loveland Historic District and L. Madeira Rd. The Dyson’s own a home and business on West Loveland Avenue.

    by Deirdre and Richard Dyson,

    The concept of taking a 12ft swath off of North side of West Loveland Avenue is totally appalling and preposterous! As long-time residents of Loveland we have touted for years the following “solution” to the traffic flow and cyclist problems on West Loveland Avenue, but never had any feedback.

    In desperation again, please consider the following:

    West Loveland Avenue, between Loveland Madeira Road and the bridge over the Little Miami is currently 4-lanes wide. It could easily be three lanes wide with the center lane being used for a much needed left turn lane at Riverside Drive and also at Wall Street. That would open up the width of an entire lane for bicycles. All that would be needed then is re-striping: with a half lane on the curbside (in each direction ) which would serve as the dedicated bike lanes on the north and south sides of West Loveland Avenue and continuing over the bridge.

    Benefits: NO CONSTRUCTION required. NO claiming of property from owners. Confusing and Often dangerous last-minute lane changes, particularly at Wall Street, would be eliminated. Traffic on West Loveland Avenue would calm down (Drivers really hit the gas pedal pulling away from the bridge and West Loveland Avenue intersection.) Pedestrians would be further away from traffic. Congestion at the West Loveland Avenue and Riverside Drive intersection would be relieved.

    For the Loveland Madeira Road section, a similar approach could be adopted. We suggest an analytic viewing of and study of traffic patterns developed on Montgomery Road, South of Bethesda North Hospital. It could apply in a similar manner all down Loveland Madeira Road, and EVEN accommodate a pretty landscaped center strip between left turn areas.!! Think how THAT would upgrade L/M Rd!!

    Note: As drivers, we are always surprised how well the Montgomery traffic plan works, ie: that one lane with turn signals flows better than two. Please give these ideas serious consideration. They are offered up with genuine concern for the betterment of the city.

             Sincerely Deirdre and Richard Dyson

    [FREE EVENT] Loveland Music Boosters host world-renowned trumpet player Brad Goode

    Loveland, Ohio – World-renowned trumpet player, composer and educator Brad Goode will perform his music with the Loveland High School Jazz bands on Saturday, May 12. The free concert, held in the Loveland High School auditorium, starts at 7:30 PM and follows two jazz clinics offered by Goode during the day.

    Brad Goode has toured and recorded with the bands of many of jazz music’s great performers, including Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Al Cohn, Ira Sullivan and the Woody Herman Orchestra, to name only a few. He led his own orchestra in Chicago from 1985 until 1998, including a stint as leader of the house band at the famous entertainment venue Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. As cultural ambassador for former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Goode led jazz groups on tours of Asia and the Middle East. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the most influential Chicagoans of the 1980s for being a major catalyst in the revitalization of the Chicago jazz scene.

    For the past 20 years, Goode has primarily performed as a freelance lead trumpeter, working and recording with numerous ensembles. He has served on the faculties of several universities, among them the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. He is currently associate professor of jazz studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.

    FIREFIGHTER CANCER
    SUPPORT NETWORK

    We help firefighters and their families cope with cancer

    Since 2005, the nonprofit Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) has provided assistance and one-on-one mentoring to thousands of cancer-stricken firefighters and their families. FCSN also delivers extensive firefighter cancer awareness and prevention training nationwide.

    Cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today.

    • Cancer caused 61 percent of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2016, according to data from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF).
    • Cancer caused 70 percent of the line-of-duty deaths for career firefighters in 2016.
    • Firefighters have a 9 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer than the general U.S. population.
    • Firefighters have a 14 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than the general U.S. population.

    There’s little data about cancer among volunteer firefighters, and the U.S. Fire Administration’s firefighter fatality statistics do not include cancer-related deaths, but it’s a stark reality: Firefighting increases cancer risks significantly for every firefighter.

  • A new face and fresh look for the Loveland Drug Task Force

    A new face and fresh look for the Loveland Drug Task Force

    By Johnnie Kanoza

    Johnnie Kanoza is the program coordinator for LEAAD

    Hello Tiger Family! 

    My name is Johnnie Kanoza, and I am the new Loveland City School District program coordinator for Loveland Educating Against Alcohol & Drugs, or – as we like to call it – LEAAD. This group, formally known as the Loveland Drug Task Force is in a transitional pilot year, but with the same commitment to stand – school and community – united as one to bring positive impact to our students.  

    United as one to bring positive impact to our students.

    I have a true passion for health and wellness, with more than 10 years of professional experience in personal training and health coaching; in addition to my exciting new role with LEAAD, I am also the owner of Empowher Fitness Studio, focusing on women’s health. 

    From youth obesity to eating disorders, from alcohol consumption to drug use – addiction can present itself in many ways. As parents, we also have seen how social media has influenced behaviors and perceptions – one being a strong desire for instant gratification.

    In Loveland, with LEAAD – we are looking for opportunities to educate both parents and students to inspire the desire for true change.

    In Loveland, with LEAAD – we are looking for opportunities to educate both parents and students to inspire the desire for true change; this involves a different level of connection. If we can start this process when the need arises it can change the life direction for our students in a positive way. The key is to create habits today that will set a solid foundation and build confidence in better decision making.  

    I am a wife and a stepmom to three beautiful adult children. I have experienced first-hand the concerns of many unknowns that come with raising great adults. Through this and our personal journey together I developed a desire to help impact more young adult lives.    

    This opportunity gives me the ability to do just that. 

    I look forward to you joining us as we make our community stronger, together!  For more information on how you can help LEAAD this change, email me at kanozajo@lovelandschools.org.
