Falls Prevention Workshop – Oct. 5th: Preventing Falls, Preserving Independence: Free Workshop for Older Adults in Ross Community In a dedicated effort to keep our older residents safe and independent, Kendal at Home, the Ross Township Fire Department, and the Ross Community Foundation are joining forces to offer a comprehensive Falls Prevention Workshop. This free event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 5th, at 11:00 AM at the Ross Fire Station,1308 Ross Millville Rd., (US 27), as part of the Ross Township Fire Department's Open House on October 6th. CDC reports that falls are the leading cause of injury and death among adults over 65, with one fall doubling the risk of falling again. Our goal in presenting this free event is to keep our older neighbors safe and remaining independent in their homes! This vital community event is made possible by the generous support of the Ross Community Foundation, which is also sponsoring refreshments for the workshop. All members of the community, particularly older adults, are encouraged to attend. Our older neighbors are a precious part of the Ross community, and this event aims to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to stay safe and independent in their homes. Space is limited, so please recommend those interested to secure their spot by contacting Wendy Fetters at (513) 300-5663 or registering at https://www.kendalathome.org/10/05/2024-fall-prevention-workshop

Ross Township

 

The Butler County Engineer’s Office reports that Hamilton New London Road will close approximately 0.2 miles east of Herman Road and 0.6 miles west of U.S. 27 for road slip repairs beginning Monday, August 19, 2024. Utilizing drilled shafts, the contractor will stabilize the existing pavement and embankment of the road, requiring a full road closure to all through traffic. Hamilton New London Road is scheduled to reopen by September 27, 2024.

 

This project is the first of four road slip repairs in a $1.6 million multi-project contract awarded to Alan Stone Company and funded by the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC).  Other road slip repair locations included in the contract are Elk Creek Road in Madison Township, Schradin Road in Morgan Township, and West Chester Road in West Chester Township. All repairs will be completed by the end of this year.

 

Detour: Eastbound Hamilton New London Road traffic will detour northwest on Layhigh Road, east on Kirchling Road, and southeast on U.S. 27. Westbound traffic will reverse this route.
