HOMETOWN GUIDE - INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND DETAILS
Message from the Mayor
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
Ohio 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!

                                                                          Kevin M. Hardman

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!

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.

    acquisition of the trail parcel and easement and throughout the

Sharonville Residents Recycled 762 Tons In 2020
Congratulations to all the residents who recycled in 2020. On average, each household in Sharonville recycled 381 pounds – that’s 14% of all
waste collected in Sharonville in 2020.

Sharonville’s Recycling Efforts:
•   Conserved enough energy to power every home in Sharonville for 9 days
•   Reduced more air pollution than if every household in Sharonville rode their bicycles to work for 6 weeks
•   Saved 5,100 trees from being harvested

Recycling has become an essential part of waste disposal throughout the nation. Recycling saves valuable resources, conserves energy, reduces
air pollution and creates jobs! The more everyone recycles the better for our environment and economy. The City of Sharonville understands and
believes in the importance of recycling. For that reason, the City offers curb side collection of recyclables as a FREE SERVICE to its residents.

If you want a larger recycling container (95 gal), call Rumpke Recycling at 800-582-3107. If you are not currently recycling, please reconsider
and call Rumpke Recycling at 800-828-8171 to get your free recycling container. For more information, visit the city’s website at www.
