‘Young at Heart’ bandsman enjoys music making Kelly continues to study music and rehearse with the band twice a week at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 10345 Montgomery Road, Montgomery. Kelly will be on hand with other members when the band for senior musicians holds an open house and get-acquainted rehearsal at the church for musical wannabes at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 25. The band welcomes both inactive one-time hornblowers and those who have never played. Instructors will be on hand to assist those just getting started.
St. Barnabas has been the band’s home since it was founded in 1999 as part of a national network, comprised largely of seniors, attracted by the opportunity to learn and play everything from familiar marches to Broadway showstoppers. A smaller introductory band is tailored to those who feel they need a running start to get into the swing of things.

Now through the support of TriHealth, kits will be distributed free of charge to community groups that will commit to training at least five people per kit. “Heart attack care is a top priority for TriHealth, and we believe that working together as a community will allow us to have a bigger impact on survivability and post-attack quality of life,” said Nancy Dallas, administrator of cardiovascular services for TriHealth,

The American Heart Association estimates that more than 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital. However, when CPR is administered, the survival rate increases to 31.5 percent. In Cincinnati, only 14.1 percent of cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR. In an effort to improve that percentage and save lives, TriHealth and AHA have teamed up to provide free CPR training kits to community organizations that are willing to facilitate a selfdirected approach to CPR training of their members. The revolutionary new approach to CPR training, called CPR Anytime, was developed by the American Heart Association.

Having completed two successful careers – 20 years as a Navy hospital corpsman, which took him into World War II and Korea, and 24 years in clinical laboratory work at the University of Cincinnati – Marvin F. Kelly decided at age 80 to teach himself how to play the flute. “I’d never played before, and we had no musicians in our family,” said Kelly, who has made his home in Forest Park since he left the Navy in 1960. “I was looking for something to do, and the flute became one of my retire-
