Loveland, Ohio – Last week during Women’s and Men’s basketball games students, staff, families, and community groups brought awareness to mental health issues. The theme was “Teal Out”. My Fave Five, The Ben Morrison Fund, and Loveland High School’s Hope Squad brought resources and awareness to their mental health initiatives.
The Ben Morrision Fund proudly says, “We are dedicated to erasing the stigma of mental health struggles, opening conversations, and offering lifelines to help save lives of young people in crisis.”
MY FAVE FIVE is a mental wellness tool, in the form of a mobile app, which helps individuals identify, connect and build relationships with trusted people in their life. It was created by Loveland mom Gina Marek.
Loveland’s Hope Squad uses faculty advisors and trusted peers to identify students at risk for suicidal ideation and behavior, and ultimately, to save lives.

Rhonda Kidd, Operations Manager at the League of Animal Welfare accepts a $1,800 check from Bonnie McNett, of Whistle Stop Clay Works. The studio raised money for the animal shelter by selling 143 penguin ornaments this holiday season.
Loveland, Ohio – Every holiday season, Whistle Stop Clay Works in Loveland chooses a non-profit to be the recipient of their holiday ornament sales. This year the studio chose the League of Animal Welfare, a non-profit that finds homeless pets their forever home and provides low-cost veterinary services. “The economic impact of the pandemic is still being felt. We wanted to help some of the most vulnerable members of our community: dogs and cats who have been surrendered by people who can no longer care for them,” said Bonnie McNett, Clay Works owner.
It is a Whistle Stop Clay Works tradition to give away unglazed holiday ornaments at the Christmas in Loveland event held in December each year. This year they made 500 penguin ornaments that were distributed free of charge to local residents. The studio also sold hand-painted penguin ornaments for $12 each with 100% of the purchase price benefiting the League.
“The response from the surrounding community was outstanding. The studio sold 143 ornaments and we rounded up the total to make our donation $1,800,” said McNett.
The League of Animal Welfare has been helping homeless pets for over 70 years. More information can be found at: https://www.lfaw.org/.
Whistle Stop Clay Works is located at 119 Harrison Avenue in historic downtown Loveland, Ohio. They have an art gallery and offer classes for adults and children, workshops, and private parties. More information can be found at: www.whistlestopclayworks.com.

Loveland, Ohio – Dr. Kathy Lorenz told Loveland Magazine this morning, “At our board meeting last evening, after extensive discussion about the current financial situation of the school district and the options available for additional funding for the district, there were three resolutions passed.” All are requests for certification from the county auditor regarding tax dollar amounts to be collected from operating levies of varying millages. The three were 4.2 mills, 4.9 mills, and 6.5 mills.
The Hamilton County Auditor will report to the Board the projected revenues for each of the three levy amounts.
Eileen Washburn voted against sending the 4.2 mill request to the Auditor but voted “Yes” on the other two resolutions. The other members voted to send all three resolutions to the Auditor.
Passing the resolutions is the first step in the process of putting a levy on the May 2nd ballot. Only one will potentially be chosen and then a second resolution would be required to put the question before voters.
Lorenz said that the board would meet again on January 31 and consider whether to pass a resolution to place a levy on the May ballot and determine what millage rate it would have.
A 4.9 mill operating levy request was rejected by District voters last November by a 7,114-6,648 margin.
The District will hold a Town Hall Meeting this Monday, January 23, at 6 PM in the Media Center at Loveland Intermediate School. The purpose of this Town Hall is “for district leaders to hear from our Loveland City Schools community about issues facing the school district, including the financial future of Loveland City Schools.”
The Town Hall will include Superintendent Mike Broadwater, Treasurer Rob Giuffre’ and two members of the Board of Education.
