It was suggested I contact Loveland Magazine about a lost ring that I found on Sunday afternoon – Fathers Day – at Nisbet Park on the playground sitting on top of the mulch. Hopefully, you might be able to help find the owner.
I have attached a couple pictures of the ring. It appears to be a very nice woman’s ring. The stone has a yellowish or light green color to it.
I have not had any success on the Loveland FB garage sale group.
I believe my next step will be taking it to the Loveland Police Station this week.

[quote_right]Recognizing Quality Public Service in the Greater Cincinnati Area Uniting All Levels and Areas of Government in One Celebration![/quote_right]“Student service is something we intentionally integrate into the student experience at Loveland High School, and we are extremely proud of these dedicated individuals for taking the initiative to give back to the community in this way,” said LHS Principal Peggy Johnson.
According to PSR-C, the students are being recognized during Public Service Recognition Week – a time set aside to pay tribute to the profession of public service and to recognize those individuals who have done an outstanding job during the year. The May 11 event will be PSR-C’s 29th recognition event.
Throughout the country, mayors, governors, agency leaders, communities and public service organizations participate in PSRW by issuing proclamations; hosting award ceremonies and special tribute events; and delivering messages about the value of public service. We encourage government leaders and public servants from all backgrounds to participate by showing appreciation to their employees and colleagues and by sharing stories of excellence in public service.
Loveland, Ohio – On Saturday, June 3rd, Loveland High School spring sports came to an end with track athletes competing at State.
Loveland came in first in the ECC for baseball, with an 11-3 conference win/loss and a record of 21-8 overall. The team narrowly bested their nearest conference rival, Anderson, by one win. “The season went great. It was really good to win the ECC, and I had a pretty good year. It was really fun just being around all the guys all year,” baseball player and graduate, Luke Wadell explained.
Loveland Womens Lacrosse also won the conference with a strong 5-0 season, besting Turpin by one win. The team had an objectively successful overall 15-2 season. “The top two obvious standout players were Katie McElveen and Taylor Fox. They both broke records–I know Taylor broke her own record of saves […] The other player that was kind of an underdog was Morgan Naber. She came out and really just killed it this season and started taking the draw. She did incredibly well and will do exceptionally well next year, and I think will be one of the leaders of the team next season,” graduate and Womens Lacrosse player, Karlin Holley said.
Perhaps Loveland’s biggest success this season was the mens and womens track, with individuals finding considerable success, with three State-competing athletes.
Loveland mens track won the ECC regional competition. For Men’s track, Zion Wynn ended at #2 in the 100-meter dash, #1 in the 200-meter dash, #1 in the 400-meter dash, #2 in the long jump.

“The season was good. It took a while to get the pieces together, but we finally did which helped us win the ECC. With the team being young, I believe we can win it again next year,” Zion Wynn claimed.

Other athletes saw considerable success this season, too. Softball player, Maggie Bailey broke the school home-run record early in the season and continued to excel.
“I felt that my season went well, especially returning from an injury. I did break the record for career home runs and home runs in a single season, as well as some others last year, like batting and slugging percentage for a season. I had a goal to bat above .400 and to contribute to my team both at and behind the plate and I believed I achieved both of those,” Maggie Bailey explained.

Loveland softball came in 5th in the ECC, with 5 wins and 9 losses. Overall, Loveland ended with 10 wins and 12 losses.
“We did alright. We had a really young team so there were areas that needed some improvement, but I’m very confident that the underclassmen will continue to grow like I watched them do throughout the season,” Bailey finished.

LHS students Anna Eskender, Avery Lawrence and Anneliese Deal worked together to set up a sleeping area under the bleachers near the high school for the Tigers in Service Shantytown event.
Experience used to better understand the plight of the homeless
Loveland, Ohio– – The Loveland High School (LHS) Tigers in Service Club set up makeshift tents under the stadium bleachers and spent the night April 22-23 so 30 students could experience a “Shantytown” event.
“The students were seeking to raise awareness about homelessness by offering their peers at LHS the chance to experience life as a homeless person for one night,” said LHS Teacher and Tigers in Service Sponsor Rachel Bierkan.

“After participating in Shantytown, my eyes were truly opened to many of the harsh realities of homelessness,” said LHS Senior Lydia Powell. “Homelessness is a major issue in today’s world and we wanted to do Shantytown to bring some attention to this problem and break some of the stereotypes that are often associated with it. It is amazing how much we take for granted in our daily lives. Shantytown helped to remind us of how fortunate we really are.”
During the 18-hour event students listened to speakers and participated in activities to further their education on homelessness. Most inspiring was the narrative shared by a woman who had experienced homelessness herself.
“It was a great way for us to realize how fortunate we are,” said LHS Senior Anna Eskender. “Most of us are privileged in many ways and it’s easy to lose sight of this as we go about our adolescence. This event truly took us out of our comfort zone and helped us understand what really counts and what really matters in life.”
“I thought it was an amazing learning experience for all participants and helped everyone to understand the realities of homelessness,” said LHS Senior Nicole Goret.
“This event was organized by some of our senior students,” said Bierkan. “They are passionate about understanding what they can do to help. It was a successful learning experience.”
Last fall, he shaved his head to portray Uncle Fester
Loveland, Ohio – Max Shilling, a Loveland High School 2017 graduate, is the recipient of the $1,000 Loveland Stage Company Creative Arts Scholarship.
Shilling plans to attend Kent State University to study theater management and production. He has been active in the Loveland Stage Company and the Loveland High School drama program.
Shilling had his first stage experience in Loveland Stage Company’s summer theater production of Carnival in 2012. Since then he has appeared in every LSC summer theater workshop and worked backstage for many of the other shows during the school year. This summer he will be portraying Charles (Charlemagne) in LSC’s summer workshop production of Pippin.
At Loveland High School, he has been in main stage productions as well as those put on by the local Thespian Society. He most recently appeared, very briefly before being shot dead, as Rudi Scherz in A Murder is Announced. Last fall, he shaved his head to portray Uncle Fester in LHS’ The Addams Family, earning the Director’s Award for the most dedicated cast member.
Shilling was a member of the high school Cappies critic team and was one of the students chosen to emcee the Cappies Gala at the Aronoff, celebrating high school theater in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Shilling’s own words sum up the reason he was chosen to receive this scholarship:
“Theater has helped me grow so much and I have made so many friends through it. I want to share this experience with more people. I would love to someday open my own theater for adolescents, where children can learn to love theater as much as I have.”
Loveland, Ohio– Resident, Dick Dyson went to the Council meeting on May 23 and asked why Councilwoman Pam Gross was the City Council Representative for the Planning and Zoning Commission and was the Vice President of Community Improvement Corporation.
Loveland, Ohio – On Tuesday, May 23, Tom Morris went to the Loveland Council meeting and asked Council to slow down the demolition of City Hall. He told council members that he moved to Loveland because it was a small town that cared more about its history and its people than its desire for growth and revenue.
Morris said that Loveland Station was a blight and the project was handled terribly from selling the land to changing the laws to appease a single developer.
He also said that the community was now stuck with a cheap looking building and traffic problems.
Morris asks Council to slow the demolition of City Hall and have hearings on the project to see if the community actually wants the project to move forward. He said, “There is a suspicious lack of information about the project”
Morris said, “Instead of talking down to people, perhaps you should be explaining to us like the voting adults we are, why this is a project the City needs.”
Loveland, Ohio – Below you can read the resolution passed by a 7-0 vote at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. There was no discussion during the meeting about the proposal.
