    Loveland Middle School Empowers Young Tigers

    Debut Young Women’s Empowerment Event brings big names in female leadership to Loveland Middle School

    Loveland, Ohio – One speaker is a brand director at Procter & Gamble; one speaker is a CEO, and the third is a meteorologist with a Cincinnati TV station – all three were female, and each was a guest of honor speaking to Loveland Middle School (LMS) students on women in leadership at the debut LMS Young Women’s Empowerment Event, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018.

    “This event was about building the confidence in our female students so that they understand that they can be anything they aspire to be in their careers; it was a way to place women in significant leadership roles directly in front of them to tell their life journey,” said LMS Assistant Principal Jayson Bruce, who developed the idea for the event back in September.

    The speakers included Amanda Hill, brand director at Procter & Gamble, Tracey Artis, CEO of I Hear Music, INC., and Randi Rico, WLWT meteorologist. Each leader had 15 minutes to tell the students about themselves, as well as to speak to what they have overcome in their personal journey. The event concluded with a Q&A session.

    “There were a couple of themes from the speakers that were very powerful: focus on yourself and stop worrying about what others think or say, fail as many times as it takes to succeed – failures are a great thing if you learn from them and don’t let them stop you, follow your heart and passions – don’t let anyone stand in your way, and ‘like a girl’ is a compliment – don’t let stereotypes and culture tell you otherwise,” said Bruce.

    “It was an inspiration, I know, to me, and I certainly hope it was inspiring for our female students. We simply couldn’t have asked for a better group of professionals to come in and speak. They all showed their passion for not only their careers, but for helping other females be successful.”

    “Loveland Middle School is committed to growing every child, every day,” said LMS Principal Chuck Ogdan. “This empowerment session is yet another example of Loveland Middle School’s mission of Improve or Deteriorate… I’d say we all improved today. I want to send a special thank you to Mr. Bruce for organizing this amazing event, and to the wonderful professionals who took time out of their day to grow our LMS students.”

    Did you understand this Natural Gas Aggregation Program mailer?

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland officials have announced the continuation of their natural gas aggregation program for another two years with IGS Energy as the City’s selected supplier.

    Loveland City Manager Dave Kennedy

    Residents and businesses currently participating in the City’s natural gas program will remain in the program unless they respond to the opt-out letter which they should receive on or about January 26.

    Newly eligible account holders who receive their gas supply from Duke Energy will also receive a notice from IGS Energy explain the rate formula, terms and conditions, and various means of opting out of the City’s aggregation program. City Hall advises to read the information carefully before making your decision. These accounts will be added to the program unless they opt out as prescribed in the letter.

    David Kennedy, City Manager, said, “We have decided to continue with rates that will be set each month, a strategy that has worked well in the previous program. We have structured our program to allow us to convert to fixed-rates if and when we think that is in the best interest of Loveland residents.” Kennedy also pointed out, “This program makes no guarantee of savings and it is completely voluntary.”

    Loveland Mayor Kathy Bailey

    Mayor Kathy Bailey said, “we are pleased to offer this program to our residents as another option to manage increasing energy costs. The City was able to negotiate a great feature for our residents and small businesses. Participants will be able to leave the program, at any time for any reason free of charge.”

    Mark Burns, President of Independent Energy Consultants, Inc., said, “we are pleased to have designed this program for Loveland and have negotiated a favorable formula for determining future gas rates. Residents should expect to receive a notice from IGS Energy explaining the rate formula, terms and conditions, and various means of opting out of the City’s aggregation program. Please read it carefully before making your decision.”




    Doug Austin, Executive Vice President of IGS Energy, said, “Any resident or small business that is currently served by another supplier should also receive a letter inviting them to receive the same rate, but anyone may call IGS Energy at 1-877-353-0162. If residents are served by another supplier, they should be aware of the obligations in their existing contract before joining the program as many suppliers do charge a penalty for early termination.”

    The City asks that you do not call the City offices because they are not equipped to handle a large volume of calls. Residents should directly contact IGS Energy toll free at 1-877-353-0162 if they have questions.

    The unknown person shown above is wanted for the investigation of Aggravated Robbery which occurred at Cricket Wireless at 10498 Loveland Madeira Road in Symmes Township on January 20, 2018. The subject is wearing a distinctive black coat with blue sleeves with black or gray gloves.

    Symmes Township, Ohio – Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil reports an Aggravated Robbery which occurred at the Cricket Wireless store located at 10498 Loveland Madeira Rd., in Symmes Township, at 3:47 PM on Saturday, January 20.

    A male employee was getting ready to close the store when he began counting the money in the cash register. Shortly thereafter, one male suspect entered the store wearing a mask and gloves. The suspect produced a handgun, and ordered the clerk to give him the money in the cash register. The suspect took an unknown amount of U.S. currency. The suspect made the clerk go into the bathroom and told him to wait thirty minutes. The suspect then fled the store on foot in an unknown direction. A K9 responded to the store to conduct a track which was unsuccessful.

     


     

    The clerk was the only employee in the store at the time of the incident and was not injured. The suspect was described as a male white about about 6’0 with a dark hoody.

    The robbery remains under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Section (CIS). Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call CIS at 513-851-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
