From Covid to Comeback – Summer 2021 is upon us and it is going to be spectacular here in Sharonville. After a long fifteen months of health and safety protocols, I was thrilled by the recent announcements from the Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Health. They could not have come at a better time. We were already prepping for another summer of mask mandates, pool reservations and curtailed celebrations. Your efforts in combatting this horrible virus are making those precautions less necessary. Vaccinations have been the key to returning our lives to normal – and getting a shot has never been easier here in Sharonville. Our partners at Hamilton County Public Health, Princeton City School District, and The Healthcare Connection brought mass vaccination clinics into our community at the Sharonville Convention Center for the entire public and Princeton’s Viking Village for our 12-17 year olds. Mayor’s Assistant Anna Ehlerding and Resident Assistance Intervention Nurse Jennifer Moore worked to bring mobile vaccination clinics to neighborhoods throughout the City – including at our community center parking lot for opening day of swim season.

We are going to kick off this Comeback Summer with a return of our Fourth of July Weekend Celebration and FIREWORKS to Sharonville! I hope that you will plan to join us in the Northern Lights District on Saturday, July 3rd, for Stars and Stripes Beneath the Lights. In collaboration with our friends at Princeton Schools, we have an evening of fun planned that includes a parade, food trucks, game booths and culminates in those fireworks lighting up the night sky. And never fear, you will have the opportunity to declare your Sharonville pride at this year’s event as we will again be making available “I ❤ Sharonville” tees for residents.

Sharonville is coming back from the difficulties of the Coronavirus stronger and better than ever! Our City employees are proud to have been a part of helping you through this troubling time but thrilled to bring you new opportunities for joy and prosperity in the coming months. Sharonville is THE place to live, work, and play – so join me in doing just that this Summer and beyond!

The Dogs on the Cover are Cute, but I Know They are Working Dogs. What Do These Dogs Do for the City of Sharonville?

Jack is a Belgian Malonois working as a K9 with our Sharonville Police Department and his handler, Officer Lee. He joined our staff in the spring of 2019. Jack is active with both detection and patrol deployments. Though Jack primarily works within Sharonville, he has been deployed to neighboring communities as requested. He has recovered various drugs including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana resulting in finding 10 suspects with 10 arrests in 2020. Well done, Jack!

Sonnet is a Labrador working with our Sharonville Fire Department as an arson dog with her handler, Battalion Chief Ellis. After a six week training program near the end of 2020, she was officially welcomed to our staff in December 2020. Her first request for a scene search was four days later! Canine Sonnet can be utilized to assist investigators with determining if any accelerants were utilized to start a fire. Because she is a federal resource, she is available to any surrounding agencies to assist with locating ignitable liquids in fire scenes. She has been deployed to 19 fire scenes so far. Of those, 10 were determined to be intentionally set. A suspect has been arrested and charged in eight of them. Keep up the good work, Sonnet!

Charcoal Grills Fire Promotions It is grilling season! If you use a charcoal grill, make sure that the coals are out before discarding them. Even if you let them sit overnight, there still may be hot embers embedded in the ashes that you may not see. Always wet the ashes down before discarding them in a trash can. There have been many residential house fires caused by ashes being put into plastic/rubber trash cans. This same advice goes for the ashes from a fireplace. It is always better to take a few extra minutes to make sure everything is out and avoid the chance of having a fire.

Lillian Hoffman was promoted from part-time Firefighter/Paramedic to full-time, Tony Smith was promoted from Acting Officer to Lieutenant, and Chris Ellis was promoted from Lieutenant to Battalion Chief. Congratulations! 4 www.CityofSharonville.com POLICE DEPARTMENT
