  • Air Quality Alert has been declared for Loveland

    Air Quality Alert has been declared for Loveland

    Loveland, Ohio – The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for Sunday, August 8 for the Loveland, Ohio Area.

    The Air Quality Index is predicted to reach 110.

    The Agency expects to see levels of ozone in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” range on the Air Quality Index.

    Active children and adults, and people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should be avoiding all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.

    Activities for children, who can be especially harmed by high levels of ozone because of their developing lungs and that some activities such as sports result in them breathing in quite a large amount of the chemical irritants should be suspended.

    To keep informed about Loveland’s hour-by-hour air quality you can always look for this image on our Home Page or use this LINK.

    On Air Quality Alert days, everyone can help reduce ozone formation by taking the following actions:

    • Take the bus, carpool, bike, or walk instead of drive.

    • Refuel your vehicle after 8 p.m.; do not top off when refueling and tighten the gas cap.

    • Do not idle your vehicle; exhaust contributes considerably to ozone formation.

    • Combine trips or eliminating unnecessary vehicle trips.

    • Keep your vehicle maintained with properly inflated tires and timely oil changes.

    • Avoid use of gasoline-powered lawn equipment on Air Quality Alert days.

    • Avoid use of oil-based paints and stains on Air Quality Alert days.

    • Never burn leaves or other yard trimmings.

    • Suspend use of fire pits, campfires and charcoal grills on Air Quality Alert days.

    • Conserve electricity by turning out lights and unplugging unused appliances and electronics.

  • FCC consecutive matches in scoreless draws

    FCC consecutive matches in scoreless draws

    Cincinnati, Ohio – No goals were scored last Saturday night in a scoreless draw between FC Cincinnati and D.C. United behind a sellout crowd of 25,060 at TQL Stadium. 

    The Orange and Blue (3-7-5) moved into 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points. D.C. United (6-7-3, 21 points) is in eighth place.

    The scoreless draw marked the first time that happened for the club since September 23, 2020 when FCC and Philadelphia Union ended 0-0 at Nippert Stadium. 

    D.C. United nearly scored early, until VAR deemed a player in the buildup on a D.C. attack was offside in the third minute. 

    In the 52nd minute, the Orange and Blue went up a man after D.C. United’s Moses Nyeman was ejected with a red card. Brenner took over possession from Nyeman on a counterattack near midfield, and Nyeman pulled down the Brazilian from behind as the last D.C. defender.

    In second half stoppage time, D.C.’s Joseph Mora’s foul resulted in his second yellow card and ejection from the contest. 

    The Orange and Blue dominated possession, 68.8 percent to 31.2. The team outshot D.C. 12-10.

    FC Cincinnati and New York Red Bulls played to a scoreless draw Wednesday night in front of 9,203 fans at Red Bull Arena.

    The Orange and Blue (3-7-6, 15 points) took a road point in the first ever draw between FC Cincinnati and NYRB. The Red Bulls are now 5-7-4 with 19 points.

    FCC finished consecutive matches in a scoreless draw for the first time since drawing 0-0 with Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire on August 29 and September 2 of last season, respectively. 

    Goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season. He has not allowed a goal in the last 213 minutes of game action, the fifth-longest shutout streak in club history.

    FC Cincinnati recorded two shots on goal, both coming off headers from defenders Nick Hagglund and Gustavo Vallecilla. 

    The Orange and Blue have 12 points on the road this season with a 3-4-3 record away from home, which is the second-best in the Eastern Conference behind first place New England’s 18 road points.

    The club returns home Saturday night at TQL Stadium to take on Orlando City SC. Kickoff in Cincinnati is set for 7:30 p.m.

  • Loveland’s Historic Black Church an African American historic site is not insignificant.

    Loveland’s Historic Black Church an African American historic site is not insignificant.

    OPINION

    The places where significant African American history happened have been unrecognized for the important role they play in the fabric of Loveland society. Black history is our Loveland history. Though Loveland is rich in diverse history, our community pride has been absent when representing that history and in funding its protection.

    David Miller is the Editor and Publisher of Loveland Magazine

    by David Miller

    I made a proposal to City Hall in 2017 in the video below, with a vision of how the historic Predestinarian Baptist Church on Chestnut Street in the West Loveland Historic District could be restored. The vision received much support at the time, however, was not realized. In the last month, there has been a buzz around the community and beyond to revisit perspectives about the church’s future.

    Loveland taxpayers own the 120 plus-year-old church. City hall acquired the church for back taxes, assessments, and liens owed on the property. The Predestinarian Baptist Church is located in the heart of what was the African-American residential neighborhood of Loveland. Cobb’s Grocery Store, a center of business and social exchange, was located nearby.

    The historic Loveland landmark is at the end of Chestnut Street, behind the Loveland Artists Studios on Main Street and one block from the Loveland Post Office. The street address is 225 Chestnut Street.

    The plan was to restore this cultural asset that holds exceptional cultural value for Loveland.

    We’ve got to make sure our children know how they got here, and what this descendant community did to make a more excellent life for us all and how these earliest residents might inspire future ones.

    The struggle over the physical local record is part of a larger, long-overdue national movement to preserve African-American history. We can absorb a revolutionary spirit of the era, their ideas of independence that were never meant for them in what was then a segregated community not of north vs south, but East and West divided by the Little Miami River.

    Elizabeth Alexander, a poet and Mellon Foundation’s president, says, “That for a long time communities of color have had to ‘carry around knowledge and stories in our bodies,’ because resources were not devoted to preserving the spaces that held those stories.”

    The depiction you will see in this video will not now happen, however, perhaps another appropriate “adaptive reuse” of the church that respects and reflects its cultural significance to our community will become a viable means of its preservation. What plan can come forward and be approved that will lead to an afterlife?

    The building is currently being vandalized by the benign neglect of its owners and caretaker – us taxpayers and City Hall. There should be taken immediate and urgent steps to secure the historic site from any further ravages of weather and intruders – human, and rodents.

    The congregation of the Loveland Predestinarian Baptist Church in 1926

    What do you think it means to preserve it. Perhaps it means Loveland will experience as Brent Leggs phrases it in the New Yorker article The Fight to Preserve African-American History, a “powerful collision of culture, heritage, and public space”

    Can we think in terms of the audacity – the bold risk of the arc of history and centuries? Do we need this place?

    To paraphrase a question Leggs asks, “Can the Predestinarian Baptist Church on Chestnut Street be a place where the truth of history is told, visitors reflect, and where reconciliation and new history can happen.”

    Can it be our predestination?

  • CDC says Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Warren County seeing “substantial spread” of COVID-19

    CDC says Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Warren County seeing “substantial spread” of COVID-19

    All counties surrounding Loveland are an area of Substantial Transmission

    Loveland, Ohio – As the Washington Post reports that a new coronavirus variant discovered in Colombia is showing up among patients in South Florida and that the delta variant of the coronavirus appears to cause more severe illness than earlier variants and spreads as easily as chickenpox, according to an internal federal health document that argues officials must “acknowledge the war has changed”, Hamilton County Public Health says we are now in an area of “substantial spread”.

    All of Hamilton County has been identified as an area of “substantial spread” of COVID-19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Substantial spread occurs when an area sees more than 50 cases per 100,000 population in the past seven days. Butler, Clermont, and Warren are also an area of “substantial spread”.

    Hamilton County is at 54.07 cases per 100,000.

    In updated guidance for substantial spread areas, which now includes all of the Loveland area, the CDC recommends:

    • Everyone, including those fully-vaccinated, wear a mask in public indoor settings.

    • Fully-vaccinated people might choose to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission, particularly if they are immunocompromised or at increased risk for severe disease from COVID-19, or if they have someone in their household who is immunocompromised, at increased risk of severe disease or not fully vaccinated.

    • Fully-vaccinated people who have a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should be tested 3-5 days after exposure, and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result.

    • Universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status.

    “The Delta variant has altered the game plan for COVID-19,” says Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman. “We know masking works and is yet another layer, in addition to vaccination, to protect all of us from another surge of the virus.”

    Vaccination remains the best way to avoid COVID-19 infection.“The vaccines are safe, effective and readily available,” according to Kesterman.  “This is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated. If you have questions or concerns about the vaccine, please talk to a trusted health professional for the best information.”

  • Hamilton County Public Health responds to request for back to school info

    Hamilton County Public Health responds to request for back to school info

    “It is strongly recommended that schools implement masking.”

    Loveland, Ohio – When asked, this morning to provide Loveland Magazine with the current Board of Health guidance for covid 19 protocol for K-12 schools “Mike Samet, the Public Information Officer for Hamilton County Public Health responded, “We are following the Ohio Dept. of Health guidelines (attached) until we develop our own, if necessary.”

    The current Loveland school protocol reads in part, “…the Board will follow any mandates set forth by the Ohio Governor, Ohio State Health Department, Hamilton County Health Department, and Ohio Department of Education, (“Directing Entities”) as it relates to protecting the health of students, staff and visitors.”

    There will be no remote learning opportunities (Remote Academy) for Loveland teachers or students as all school buildings will return to full capacity in-person classes in August.

    Samet referred Loveland Magazine to the Ohio Dept. of Health (ODH) guidelines which are currently Hamilton County Health Department’s as well.

    The ODH guidelines begin with this opening introduction:

    As schools get ready for the 2021-22 academic year, the ongoing health and safety of students, staff, and volunteers remains paramount. While great strides have been made in controlling the spread of COVID-19, the virus remains a health threat. 

    Although children are less likely to get severely ill from COVID-19 compared with adults, they are at risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, getting sick from COVID-19, spreading the virus to others, and having severe health outcomes. 

    Because children 11 and younger cannot be vaccinated and less than a third of children 12 to 17 are fully vaccinated, it is strongly recommended that schools implement masking for students layered with other prevention strategies to protect people who are not fully vaccinated. 

    The Delta variant is rapidly becoming dominant in Ohio. It is highly transmissible, increasing risk, especially for those who are unvaccinated. Because the Delta variant spreads so quickly, these strategies to reduce transmission in school are critically important to protect students, teachers, staff, and communities.

    As students head back to school, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) recommends following the same layered prevention strategies that were remarkably effective at controlling COVID-19 last school year: 

    Strongly recommend vaccinations for staff and eligible students. Vaccines are our best tool to protect students and prevent the spread of the virus. 

    Wearing masks. Masks have been proven to be extremely effective in slowing the spread of the virus. Ohio researchers conducted an evaluation last year that showed that masking helped control the spread of the virus in Ohio schools. ODH strongly recommends that those who are unvaccinated wear masks while in school. 

    Additional measures including improving ventilation, maximizing distance between people, and practicing good hygiene, among others. 

    Consistent implementation of these core prevention measures helped limit the spread of COVID-19 in the classroom during the 2020-21 academic year. Continuing to follow these recommendations will protect students as much as possible. 

    Below is the full ODH document:
