  • Superintendent announces new mask policy

    Superintendent announces new mask policy

    Loveland, Ohio – According to a newsletter issued by the Loveland City School District on Thursday, December 16, a new mask policy will go into effect beginning Tuesday, January 18, 2022. In the newsletter, Superintendent Mike Broadwater said, “Masks will be strongly recommended for our staff and students, but they will be optional for staff and all students in grades K-12. We are waiting for two weeks after our return from Winter Break to allow for any illness to run its course after people are together with family and friends for the holidays.”

    The current policy requires masks for students PK-6 but allows students in grades 7-12 to be mask optional. Broadwater further explained by saying, “When we set that policy back in August, we drew the line at grade 7 because vaccinations were only available for students 12 and older. With COVID vaccines now available for any student 5 and older, it makes sense to align our policy to reflect that.”

    The federal requirement to wear masks on buses will continue through at least March 18, 2022, according to the newsletter.

    “We are still more than a month away from the date this change goes into effect, so if you’re considering vaccinations, now is the time to have a conversation with a trusted medical professional and make the decision for your students,” said Broadwater.

    “Important Hospital Update”

    The day after the Superintendent’s announcement, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital issued what they headlined an “Important Hospital Update” on December 17 at 7:19 PM that said:

    Cincinnati Children’s is currently incredibly full. This high number of patients, along with increased illness in our community means that our system is under stress. Our Emergency Departments and Urgent Cares are very busy, and wait times are long. We know these wait times are inconvenient and we assure you, our teams are working hard to see every patient who needs care, as quickly as possible. Please do not hesitate to come if you need emergency care.

    If you are unsure if your child needs to be seen in the Emergency Department or Urgent Care, please start with a call to your primary care provider to ask for advice. You can also visit our 24/7 Virtual Urgent Care to see a pediatric provider. Install the App now so you are ready if you need it: https://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/…/cincykids-health…

    While the hospital is so full, providers may be reaching out to reschedule planned admissions or procedures. If you have an upcoming admission or surgical procedure and have questions about how your family may be impacted, you can contact your provider at any time to discuss. We also need your help. Please be safe – wash hands often, avoid large gatherings, wear masks in public settings and get vaccinated for both COVID and Flu.

    We thank you for trusting your child’s care to Cincinnati Children’s and we thank you in advance for your grace and patience during this busy time.

    If you have questions regarding coronavirus/COVID-19, call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH (1-833-427-5634).

    Ohio National Guard Mobilized, Hospital Staff Needed

    Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today (December 17, 2021) provided the following updates on Ohio’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

    OHIO NATIONAL GUARD MOBILIZED

    Governor DeWine mobilized 1,050 members of the Ohio National Guard to help relieve the hospital staffing strain caused by the rising number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients is causing. Of the total mobilized guard members, approximately 150 are highly-trained medical professionals and will deploy to help meet critical needs at hospitals and testing locations.  The remaining 900 guard members will help with patient transport, housekeeping, and food services. Guard members will be brought on duty beginning on Monday.

    STAFFING AGREEMENT

    The Ohio Department of Health is working with an Ohio health care staffing company to help meet hospital staffing needs. This agreement will allow for Ohio hospitals to bring in qualified nurses and other providers from out-of-state to fill needed positions to help ease some of the current added pressure on hospitals and staff.

    HOSPITALIZATION DATA

    More than 4,700 people arecurrently hospitalized in Ohio fighting COVID-19, that equates to one in every 5 hospital patients. This is the highest number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 this year, and the number of hospitalized patients is rapidly approaching an all-time high.

    Due to the increase in COVID-19 hospital admisions many hospitals have been forced to postpone elective surgeries, transfer patients to other hospitals, impose visitation standards, and/or implement what they call “crisis standards of care,” in which they have no choice but to take extraordinary steps to care for patients in ways that aren’t typical, such as providing intensive care in emergency rooms or in post-surgical units.

    In Northern Ohio (Ohio Hospital Zone 1) most hospitals have suspended elective surgeries. In Central and Southeast Ohio (Ohio Hospital Zone 2), the same thing is beginning to happen. In SoutheastOhio, (Ohio Hospital Zone 3), hospital leaders are preparing to take similar action.

    The best way to relieve the strain on our health care providers is to stay up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations to prevent serious illness and hospitalizations.  To find a vaccination provider near you, visit http://gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov.

    [VIDEO] It’s now the Stan McCoy Junior Gymnasium – “If you look in the mirror you can’t lie to yourself.”

    by David Miller

    Loveland, Ohio – In a brief video interview this week, I asked Stan McCoy to tell viewers something I had heard him repeat many times over the years about his expectations for the Loveland students he taught and coached. He responded, “If you look in the mirror you can’t lie to yourself.” He explains further in the interview what his simple message is.

    On Monday afternoon, December 13, the gymnasium at the Loveland Intermediate School (LIS) was named in honor of retired teacher and coach Stan McCoy Jr.

    McCoy served the Loveland City Schools community for decades and the community came to the gym to cheer him on as he received this special honor. 

    It’s now the Stan McCoy Junior Gymnasium.

    This approximately 5′ square sign is now outside the entrance to the Loveland Intermediate School Gym. A similar sign is down the hallway at the Loveland Middle School gym that honors Stan McCoy’s father, Stan McCoy Sr.

    The Loveland City School District invited the community to a special event on Monday, December 13 at Loveland Intermediate School for a ceremony honoring McCoy Jr.

    The naming ceremony took place between basketball games in the gym.

    Barbara Orsinelli who taught physical education with Stan also speaks on camera about working with him for seventeen years. Cam Louder, now a student at Xavier University also appears on camera speaking about what Stan meant to him during his younger years attending Loveland schools.

    The LIS Gym will carry the McCoy name, just as the Loveland Middle School Gym is named in honor of his father, the late Stan McCoy Sr. 

    McCoy is a graduate of Xavier University. He was a physical education teacher at Loveland Schools for nearly 30 years. He has coached eighth-grade football, seventh and eighth-grade basketball, and track and field. McCoy is part of a family that has Loveland Tiger pride extending back three generations.

    Stan McCoy, Jr.

    McCoy once held the Loveland basketball season and career record for the most assists in 1970 through 1973.  He had quite a career playing Xavier basketball back in his college days. He was head coach, Tay Baker’s first recruit.

    In December of 2020, McCoy received the Community Service Award from the City Recreation Commission that is named after his father. The “Stan McCoy Sr. Award” is presented annually, with the criteria that nominees be “persons of quality and integrity, who with love and enthusiasm for the Loveland area, have worked to sustain and improve the community.”

    This past September, McCoy was the Grand Marshall of Loveland’s Homecoming Parade.

    He grew up in Loveland with his mother and father and three athletic sisters. McCoy has told Loveland Magazine that he was inspired by his father Stan McCoy Sr, also a Loveland High School athlete who graduated in 1943, who later became a history and physical education teacher at Loveland High School, as well as the head football coach, athletic director, assistant principal, and assistant superintendent.

  • LHS Grad Jillian Hayes and the UC Bearcat Women’s Basketball Team Claim the Kendle Cup Again!

    LHS Grad Jillian Hayes and the UC Bearcat Women’s Basketball Team Claim the Kendle Cup Again!

    by Cassie Mattia

    Cincinnati, Ohio – How about them Bearcats?! 

    The UC Women’s Basketball team grabbed a huge victory on Saturday beating the Xavier Muskateers, 82-73, in the 2021 Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout at Fifth Third Back Arena. This was the 43rd time Cincinnati and Xavier competed for the Kendle cup (the Crosstown Shootout trophy) making the Bearcats 26-17 in the rivalry series. Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard is now 3-0 against Xavier since taking the head coach position. After the win on Saturday, UC is now 5-4 in the American Athletic Conference (AAC).

    Former Loveland High School (LHS) stand-out student-athlete Jillian Hayes has not only helped the Bearcats grab some big wins already this year, but is also making a name for herself in the AAC and the world of women’s college basketball! Hayes’ senior year at LHS was one for the books as she averaged 18.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 2 assists, and 3.1 steals per game. With those stats, Hayes was named the 2019-2020 Eastern Cincinnati Conference Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Year, 1st Team All-ECC, and LHS’s All-Time Leading Scorer (1,412), and Leading Rebounder (778). She also led the Loveland Tigers to back-to-back ECC Titles and an OHSAA Sectional Title in 2020.

    Hayes not only succeeded on the basketball court at LHS she also achieved top honors in the classroom receiving an Academic Pin for her G.P.A, and recognition for her leadership and sportsmanship earning her The Principal’s Award-Outstanding Female and the OHSAA Archie Griffin Sportsmanship Award.

    Going into her Freshman season with the UC Bearcats Women’s Basketball Team, Hayes was selected as the No. 116 prospect in the 2020 class by the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and was ranked as a 4-star recruit by Prospects Nation. Hayes definitely did not disappoint her Freshman year with the Bearcats despite the COVID-19 obstacles averaging 7.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks earning her a spot on the AAC All-Freshman Team. Hayes not only had 20 starts her Freshman season she also placed 1st among the AAC Freshman class in blocks (1.1), 2nd in defensive rebounds (4.4), and 3rd in minutes played (32.3) and assists (2.7). Hayes led the Bearcats team in steals (34) and ranked 3rd in points (182), rebounds (126), and blocks (26).

    Since graduating from LHS, Hayes has had a couple of big goals in mind one being to make it to the NCAA Tournament. Thus far in her sophomore season as a team captain, she has made it very clear as to what her personal and team goals are as she has already put up double digits in points in 4 games this season. Check out Hayes’ top games thus far in her sophomore season!

    December 1st against Central Michigan (Win 59-54) – 23 points, 5 rebounds, 9/15 FG

    November 27th against OSU (Loss 50-86) 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal

    November 16th against Ohio Win 62-73, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals

    November 10th against Alabama A&M Win 73-60, 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals

    Here at Loveland Magazine we love celebrating the successes of former LHS graduates, so we decided to take a trip down to Cincinnati to watch Hayes compete in the 2021 Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout. Wow were we impressed with Hayes’s ability to be a leader and produce stats that led the Bearcats to an 82-73 victory! 

    Hayes ended the game with 9 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 4 assists, most of the stats coming in the final 4 minutes of the game, as she said, “I knew I had to turn it on and produce to get us a win!” At the half, Xavier was up 32-31, due mostly to the Bearcats 14 turnovers and 32.4 Field Goal percentage. Xavier also outrebounded the Bearcats 27-18.

    Once the 2nd half of the Crosstown Shootout began Hayes and the Bearcats began to outperform Xavier. In the 4th quarter alone Cincinnati outscored Xavier, 32-20, and made 60% of their shots raising their total field goal percentage for the game to 42.4%! Cincinnati’s bench also stepped it up towards the end of the game accumulating 43 points compared to Xavier’s 9 points. 

    Securing the Kendle Cup wasn’t the only milestone for the Bearcats as they also had their highest-scoring game of the season, tied their season-best for 3-point shots made (6), and had 4 Bearcats for the 2nd time this season score in the double digits. Hayes said she hopes this momentum continues right into the NCAA tournament, which has been a goal of hers since she committed to playing basketball at Cincinnati.

    After the Bearcats claimed the Kendle Cup once again, Loveland Magazine TV got the opportunity to interview Jillian Hayes post-game to talk about the victory, her role as a team captain, and what she believes UC will achieve this season! So without further ado, we bring to you several exclusive Crosstown Shootout videos and a one-on-one interview with UC Bearcat Sophomore Jillian Hayes!

    Here are photos and video highlights from the Crosstown Shootout; Jillian Hayes with her young fans, and the award of the Kendle Cup shot by Adam Ploof, Cassie Mattia, and David Miller. (©2021)

    Christmas in Loveland Kicks off on Saturday!

    SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2021 AT 4 PM – 8 PM

    Christmas in Loveland 2021

    by Cassie Mattia

    Loveland, Ohio – Bells will be ringing this Saturday in Downtown Loveland for the city’s Annual Christmas in Loveland celebration! We have everything you need to know about this year’s festivities!

    This Saturday from 4 PM-8 PM, Downtown Loveland will transform into a beautiful Winter Wonderland for those wanting to celebrate Christmas the Loveland way! Christmas in Loveland is set to feature a plethora of holiday activities and Christmas-themed displays with nearly every Downtown business participating this year. Friends and families will be able to visit the Madcap Puppet Theater and Santa and his elves at City Hall, pin the tail on the reindeer, and decorate sugar cookies at Eads Fencing, take a peaceful carriage ride along Railroad Avenue, enjoy a train ride at Loveland Museum, feast on complimentary food tastings and sip on holiday cocktails from Downtown’s restaurants, and write Letters to Santa At Mile42, create homemade reindeer food at Trailside Provisions, or create a gnome ornament at Whistle Stop Clayworks. This fun-filled holiday event will also include a “Christmas Time” free show at the Loveland Stage Company, and live Christmas entertainment from the Victorian Christmas Carolers, The Cincinnati City Shakers, and Broadway Bound, to name a few, that will take place at the Fountain Greene and throughout Downtown Loveland. Oh, and did I mention Loveland will be bringing back its live nativity scene?!

    CeeCee Collins, President of the Little Miami Chamber of Alliance, said she couldn’t be more excited for this year’s Christmas in Loveland! 

    “There will be so many fun activities such as ornaments, singing with carolers, and meeting Elsa and Anna, just to name a few! This is such a great event where the businesses want to give back to everyone that has patronized and visited downtown,” Collins explained, “We truly appreciate everyone supporting local businesses and hope that the community will continue to come back, especially now that all the businesses are re-opened (and more have been built) after the pandemic. There will be tons of samplings and give-a-ways for all ages to enjoy!”
