    by David Miller

    Loveland, Ohio – Brady Burns said, “I wanted to help the people in the Goshen community because what they experienced had to be devastating.”

    Connor Burns said, “I can’t imagine how scared these people must have been because the area looked like something out of a movie.”

    Brady Burns added, ”The least we could do was help in any way possible.”

    Connor Burns added, “Thanks to all of those who donated money, cleaning supplies, gift cards, and nonperishable food. We appreciate it as well as the people in the Goshen community.”

    Immediately after Loveland High School Students Brady and Connor Burns hear that a tornado touched down in Goshen, Ohio, neighboring their hometown of Loveland, Tiger Country – the started a collection for families in Goshen, Warrior Country. They put it out to the Loveland community that they would have a relief drive. When they did they said, “Actually we have family who live there. One had the top of their roof come off.”

    In the next few days, they had cash donations that totaled $1,000 which was used to buy gift cards, nonperishable food, and cleaning supplies. They also had a van load of items that was dropped off at their house.

    Brady, an 11th grader has always been a straight-A student. He is on the Tiger tennis and bowling teams and a Manager for the cross country team. He participates in: SALT (Student Athletic Leadership Team), FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Young Life, and was just selected to be on the Ohio Advisory Safety Council.

    Connor is just starting high school – 9th grade. He has also always been a straight-A student and was on the Tiger cross country and track teams Connor has a love for roller coasters.

    Brady and Connor Burns (Provided Photo)

    Below is the original appeal that Brady and Connor Burns sent out to the Loveland Tiger community:

    Yesterday, a community close to us experienced a devastating tornado. Goshen has been declared a state of emergency. 
    
    We have family that live in Goshen and luckily they are safe. 
    
    We would love to have the neighborhood help the families of Goshen in this time of need. 
    
    Please consider donating bottled water, nonperishable food items, gift cards, new blankets, new pillows, etc. 
    
    Many of these families are displaced. 
    
    We are providing our mom’s Venmo account if you are unable to go purchase items, but want to donate money. We will take the money to buy items needed for families.

    Last week with the monetary donations they received, Brady and Connor Burns purchased these items for the community of Goshen, Ohio. The boys then had more money donated and purchased a lot of $25 Kroger gift cards for groceries and gas. (Provided Photo)

    The young men delivered “a ton” of nonperishable food items to the collection point at Goshen High School. When they heard that gas gift cards were in need because people are using generators, they bought some.

    They want people that responded to their appeal to know that the people who were volunteering at Goshen High School were so appreciative. “Seeing the devastation was heartbreaking. Thanks to everyone who donated. If any more money or items come to the house we will make another delivery.”

  • Support the Ray Wene Memorial Golf Outing

    Support the Ray Wene Memorial Golf Outing

    Loveland, Ohio – Ray Wene, graduated from Loveland High School in 1991 and he passed away in 2019 from brain cancer. His wife Tina has started a non-profit foundation in his name to raise money for brain cancer research at Jewish Hospital; money for local youth sports and families that may not be able to afford the costs involved, and a local church youth group. These were some of the most important things to Ray and we hope to carry his legacy on by providing support for these organizations.  

    They are having their first golf outing at Hickory Woods and would like to reach out to the local community for interests.

    Oct 08

    1:30 PM

    Loveland, 1240 Hickory Woods Dr, Loveland

    This man here is Ray Wene, the face of The Ray Hope Foundation.

    As stated above, Ray was diagnosed with Grade IV GBM in June of 2017. He fought a long and hard 29 months, and in November of 2019, “the Lord brought him home”. Ray’s faith was unshakable throughout those hard times; nothing broke him. Through his testimonial journey, he wanted to change the lives of others by bringing them closer to God. Ray was a passionate, loving man. He cared deeply about the youth programs held in church and kids who couldn’t pay to play. He desired to support them in any way he could, whether that be; financially or spiritually. Lastly, Ray’s biggest goal was to bring awareness to brain tumors and further research in the medical field. The proceeds will be donated and used to further his request for The Ray of Hope Foundation. 

    The number one goal for this foundation is to honor the life of Raymond Wene. “We will be supporting local youth faith-based programs, community youth sports, nurses education, and cancer research at The Jewish Hospital Brain Tumor Center.”

  • Ohio River Foundation Opens Registration for 2022-2023 School Year Educational Programs

    Ohio River Foundation Opens Registration for 2022-2023 School Year Educational Programs

    Cincinnati-based nonprofit encourage area educators to submit applications for Mussels in the Classroom and River Explorer programs for the 2022-23 school year

    Purple warty backs? Pyramid pigtoes? Monkeyfaces? No, not fictitious creatures from a fantasy novel, just the very real—and important—river species coming to a classroom near you next school year as part of Ohio River Foundation’s Mussels in the Classroom program.

    With successful programs dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and its entire watershed, Cincinnati-based nonprofit Ohio River Foundation (ORF) has opened registration for its popular hands-on educational programs for the 2022-23 school year. Along with improving academic STEM skills, the goal of these programs is to help kids—the next generation of environmental stewards, voters, and government leaders—foster a lifetime interest in protecting the environment in their communities and beyond.

    May marked the end of another successful school year, so registration is officially opened for 2022-23 and area educators are encouraged to apply. This year, more than 4,700 students were able to take part in ORF’s Mussels in the Classroom and River Explorer programs. 

    Mussels in the Classroom  

    Through ORF’s Mussels in the Classroom program (MIC), students get the chance to play host to and learn about freshwater mussels and their importance to river ecosystems. ORF launched MIC, the only program of its kind, in 2017. Since then, nearly 7,000 students in the Greater Cincinnati, Greater Columbus, and Greater Lexington areas have experienced the program.

    The program kicks off with an in-person or virtual visit by an ORF educator, who describes the freshwater mussels’ unusual characteristics and significance to their ecosystems. While freshwater mussel species may have some interesting and humorous names, these small but mighty creatures have an important job to do. Although they clean water, acting as a natural filter for our waterways, most people know little about these important animals. Many species are threatened or endangered. Following the educator visit, mussels remain in the classroom for two weeks so students can care for and study them.

    “We hope that participating students come away with not only a better understanding of complex aquatic ecosystems but also an appreciation for these amazing animals,” said Rich Cogen, ORF’s executive director. “With increasing scientific interest in repopulating rivers with native mussels, it’s critical for the public to understand the important role they fill.”

    MIC is open to grades K-12, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis on the program’s web page. Availability is Sept. 1 through Dec. 15 and Jan. 15 through June 1.

    River Explorer

    In addition to MIC, ORF offers its perennially popular River Explorer program in Greater Cincinnati and Columbus. The trips let students be junior scientists for a day as they learn about the ecology and importance of the Ohio River and its watershed at area creeks, streams, and rivers. Open to grades four through 12, River Explorer includes three hands-on stations:

    1) Catching, examining, and identifying fish;

    2) Collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates; and

    3) River chemistry (grades six through 12) or water use and the water cycle (grades four and five).

    All but the youngest students also take part in habitat assessments as part of their day, and ORF educators touch on issues such as water pollution and environmental stewardship with all students.

    The River Explorer program is offered in September, October, April, and May. Greater Cincinnati field trips take place at Nisbet Park and Lake Isabella Park in Loveland; Sycamore Park in Batavia; Sharon Woods Park in Sharonville; Pioneer Park in Covington; and Guilford Covered Bridge Park in Guildford, Indiana. Columbus programs are at Highbanks MetroPark and Gahanna Friendship Park.

    Registration for fall River Explorer field trips is open through Monday, August 15 on the program’s web page.

    So far more than 55,000 students have participated in Mussels in the Classroom and River Explorers.

    Russel the Mussel

    Rounding out ORF school programs is an environmental literacy offering, courtesy of ORF team member, Russell the Mussel. He’s a freshwater mussel not unlike those that inhabit the creeks, streams, and rivers of the Ohio River watershed.

    Russell himself is a character in a Virginia Tech/U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service children’s book that bears his name. ORF spearheaded efforts to resurrect the book, which was previously out of print. The nonprofit distributes copies as part of its Mussels in the Classroom program. It’s most appropriate for students on fourth through sixth-grade reading levels or for teachers who wish to read the book to younger students.

    “Adding the Russell the Mussel book as a leave-behind lets us share information about freshwater mussels in a new way that will benefit students who are reading/writing learners,” said Cogen. “Because the book will remain in the classroom after our program ends, it will also reinforce what we teach and serve as a continuous reminder about this critical species.”

    Support for ORF education programs is provided by the Charles H. Dater Foundation, Elsa Heisel Sule Foundation, Harrison Family Foundation, Toyota, Inc., Honda Manufacturing, International Paper, The Gardner Family Foundation, PNC Charitable Trusts, Marge & Charles Schott Foundation, Thomas Anthony Sullivan Foundation, and Valvoline, Inc.
