Loveland, Ohio – Resident Lauren Enda spoke at the council meeting on Tuesday. Enda said she retired in Loveland after working at the National Security Agency. She began by saying, “After thirty years of doing my part to protect the United States, I did not expect to continue to do that role in retirement, but here I am.”
She continued by outlining instances of Mayor Kathy Baily suppressing free speech at council meetings.
Enda spoke mostly about a proposed parking garage in Historic Downtown and the message she sees sent by voters via the recent election. “One council member indicated he was opposed to that garage and he won the most votes. The message is clear. Loveland voted against the garage,” Enda said.
Enda wants the question of building a garage put to a formal vote. She says Council should determine the will of the residents by putting the question on the May 3, 2022, ballot.

Symmes Township, Ohio – Paul Laufersweiler said he has skin in the game and mentions his grandfather and uncle. Paul recorded this message about what Veterans Day means to him last Sunday at the Veterans’ memorial plaza at the Home of the Brave Park in Symmes Township.
Paul Laufersweiler is a ninth-grader at Loveland High School. He plays clarinet in their marching band and was recently cast in their radio play production of A Christmas Carol. His favorite classes are Honors Biology and AP Human Geography.
Paul said that if we think about the struggles Veterans have faced, we can be brave enough to overcome those we face today. He encourages us to, take time to thank veterans, “And since they did all they could to protect us let’s do what we can to help protect each other.”

Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland High School (LHS) Women’s and Men’s Cross Country Teams are re-writing school history one broken record at a time!
In addition to being the 2021-2021 Eastern Cincinnati Conference (ECC) Champs, last Saturday at Troy High School the LHS Women’s Cross Country Team captured the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Division 1 Regional Title with a score of 69 for the first time ever in Tiger history. This qualified the entire team to compete in the OHSAA State Division 1 Women’s Championship set to go down this Saturday at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park at 3 PM. This will be the Women’s 3rd trip to State as a team since the conception of the cross country program (2007, 2019, and 2021).
Senior Jesse Gibbins took the top time at Regionals for the Tigers placing 4th with a time of 19:15.7. To see the official results from the OHSAA Regional Division 1 Women’s 5k click here.
Earlier this season the LHS Women’s Cross Country Team broke another school record at the Loveland Sunset Invitational having 5 women in the same race run under 19 minutes! That race and the OHSAA District Division 1 Women’s 5k put 5 Tigers in the top 8 in the ECC for their individual 5k times.
The LHS Men’s Cross Country Team has also made a name for themselves this year grabbing their first ECC title in 15 years! Building off that history-changing title, the Men collected a 4th place finish with a score of 143 at the OHSAA Division 1 Regional Men’s Championships, allowing them to qualify as a team for the State Tournament. With that accomplishment, the LHS Cross Country Teams again broke a school record, as it is the first time ever in LHS history that both Cross Country squads qualified for the State Tournament in the same year! This will also be the Men’s 3rd trip to the State Tournament as a team (1971, 2020, and 2021).
Senior Ryan Chevalier was the top finisher for the Tigers at the Regional Tournament race finishing in 15th place with a time of 17:12.8. To see the official results from the OHSAA Regional Division 1 Men’s 5k click here.
After all of the impressive running by the Men, 4 Tigers are in the top 9 in the ECC for their individual 5k times.
The Men’s Cross Country Team is in 7th place in the State of Ohio per the OATCCC poll.
Before both Tiger teams head off to Fortress Obetz on Saturday in Columbus for the OHSAA Division 1 State Cross Country Championships, here at Loveland Magazine we decided to take a trip to LHS to chat with both history-changing teams!
