Loveland, Ohio – Each candidate running for a seat on city council was invited by Loveland Magazine to record a four-minute video introducing themselves to voters.
Kathy Bailey, Mark Fitzgerald, Todd Osborne, and Angie Settell are running for the three seats open in the November 3 election. Osborne did not respond to the invitation.
Our thanks and gratitude is expressed to Fran Hendrick who offered the hospitality of the gathering room at Wildflower House at 111 Wall Street in the West Loveland Historic District where these videos were recorded.
Loveland, Ohio – Grand Marshall, Bill Hounsell missed his chance to deliver the game ball at Loveland’s Homecoming game when the helicopter was grounded because of lightning strikes around Tiger Stadium.
Last Thursday, Bill and his wife Linda got a second chance when Kings came to town to play the Tigers. This LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video is their entrance from the early evening sky, and Bill talking about the ride over Loveland into the stadium.
Loveland, Ohio – The Tigers were behind Kings a seemingly un-surmountable 24-3 midway into the last quarter, made the game interesting with two late scores, but came up short at Tiger Stadium September 24.
In the game Loveland only came away with 30 rushing yards in 37 attempts. A rushing average of 0.8, because of Kings pressure on quarterback Drew Plitt, which pushed the total back, -32. Junior Luke Waddell was held to 37 rushing yards. Kings had 6 players ganging-up for 6 sacks in the game.
Plitt did complete 20 of 25 passes for 233 yards, with Waddell garnering 90 of those yards with his 7 receptions. Micheal Peters caught 6 for 86 yards.
Time of possession was Loveland 28:14 vs. Kings 19:46.
While I once again find myself battling the darkest, bleakest of emotions, I knew this was too important not to email you tonight.
Here we are again. Another shooting. More lives, lives filled with light and promise, lost: College students, just working hard to achieve the American Dream, but instead finding themselves in their worst nightmares.
Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. As President Obama said tonight, “It does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America.”
It’s time we reject the notion that we can’t do anything to prevent gun violence.
We have to pay attention to signs that someone has the potential to inflict harm on themselves or others. We have to intervene, Say Something, do something.
If we don’t, we’ll find ourselves right back here in a matter of weeks or months. I know you don’t want to receive another email like this from me, and I sure don’t want to have to write another one. Please, do something.
Tonight the President said we’ve become numb to these horrific shootings.
Maybe some people are numb, but I’m not. You’re not. Those of us who refuse to be numb, who believe we can be a country that refuses to accept terrible tragedy after terrible tragedy, must join together. We must demand change. And we can’t give up until we get it.
Blanket Facebook and forward this email to your friends. Show the world we’re not willing to live with the “routine,” as the President called it, of mass killings. We will turn tragedy into a moment of transformation for our country.
Our hearts are again broken, but our spirits are more determined than ever to create a safer world for all our children.
If you are feeling helpless tonight and do not know how to move forward in preventing gun violence in our communities, schools, movie theaters, and in our homes…
Watch this message from Nicole. She says that we ALL can make a difference.
Kings won the Pink Game Trophy last Thursday by beating Loveland, 24-17 . However, support for those with breast cancer took home the big prize of over $12,000 that goes to the Pink Ribbon Girls.
Loveland, Ohio – Students, staff, parents, and community members held their annual Pink Game at Loveland’s Tiger Stadium last Friday night. To others, it was the Friday night football game (Kings 24, Loveland 17).
Jan Middleton, the development associate for Pink Ribbon Girls said, “It takes a lot of volunteers to coordinate a game like this – we had student and parent volunteers from both schools as well as staff from both schools that worked together. Two Rivals Coming Together For One Cause.”
Middleton reported to Loveland Magazine that they sold over 1,700 personalized t-shirts this year. “We are still waiting on a final number from Loveland on fundraising but it should be over $12,000.” Last year the two schools sold 1,200 shirts.
The game is part of a series of games called Friday Night Pinks to benefit local non profit, Pink Ribbon Girls. Kings was one of the first schools to host a pink game and now it is an annual event between Loveland and Kings. This was the first year for it to be hosted by Loveland.
Kings and Loveland students sold 1,700 of these personalized t-shirts at this year’s Pink Game at Loveland High School.
This year Borcherding Buick GMC sponsored a Borcherding Buick GMC Punt for Pink Challenge during half time. One student from each high school was be selected to attempt to punt a football into the back of a pick up truck. If they were successful they wouldl win $5000 for their school and $5000 for Pink Ribbon Girls. You can watch the kicks in this video. Kim Borcherding drove the truck to the game and explains in this video why she is supportive of the Pink Ribbon Games.
All of the money raised by pink games stays here in our community to support women battling breast and other women’s reproductive cancers. Pink Ribbon Girls provides FREE healthy meals, housecleaning, transportation to treatment and peer support. Last year they shipped 35,000 meals to families in the Cincinnati and Dayton area. They provided 415 housecleanings and 569 rides to treatment. These services are not income based.
