  • Hold onto your hat and these pivotal dates

    Hold onto your hat and these pivotal dates

    David Miller

    by David Miller

    Who will be in your corner?

    Loveland, Ohio – These events will be your chance to personally meet the local politicians who want to be part of the teams leading the Loveland City School District and Loveland City Council for the next 1,440 days. Four-long years, so this is important!

    On October 21 the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, Loveland Magazine, and LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV will host the contenders for seats on the school board, and on October 14 they will bring together on a public stage your job applicants for Loveland City Council.

    City Council – October 14, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.

    School Board – October 21, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.

    Will there be undisputed champs?

    Election fans can see if the contenders roll with the punches, stick and move, or have promises that pack a punch. Will you see any future respected political figures or elder statesmen/women?

    Both of these heavyweight championship Forums will be broadcast “LIVE” on the Loveland Magazine FaceBook Page. It’s not Pay-per-View and tickets are not required – it’s totally FREE!

    Who knows, there might be some highfalutin’ good ideas that come from one or more of these candidates that can transform Loveland. There will almost certainly be some re-hashing the past but that will be OK if it leads to knowledge of what the future might hold.

    Politicians routinely offer more promises than they keep, however hearing them straight from their mouths is the start of holding them accountable. Meeting them in person is always better than voting based on the number of yard signs and you can be a political influencer if you can say, “I actually heard her say it!”

    If you cannot attend in person or chose to be inside the safety of your own home you may want to tune in LIVE to be in-the-know.

    The format will follow the same as in the past:

    • To begin, candidates will each present their platform for 2 minutes and tell you why they are running for office.
    • Questions will be asked for 60 minutes allowing each candidate two minutes to reply or pass.
    • After 60 minutes candidates are asked to close with 2-minute speeches.

    Voters can throw their written questions into the octagon and all questions will be screened for duplicity by independent ring-side judges. The emcees will ask as many of the questions as time allows in the 60 minutes.

    You the registered voters of the City of Loveland and the Loveland City School District however will be the crucial and critically important judges come November 2 so reserve your ring-side seat by saving these dates.

    Ezz’s previously unreported friendship with Muhammad Ali

    What’s it like having Muhammad Ali hang out at your apartment? Ezzard Charles II talks about it on Episode 5 of Total Fighter.

    Ricky Mulvey is a former sportswriter and talking head at Loveland Magazine

    Do you like history/boxing/Cincinnati/really good stories? If so—or even if not! — listen to Ricky Mulvey’s newly completed five-part podcast Total Fighter about the greatest light heavyweight fighter of all time – the Cincinnati Cobra, Ezzard Charles!

    A limited Podcast series about Ezzard Charles, Cincinnati’s heavyweight champion.
    Total Fighter, is a narrative, nonfiction podcast about Ezzard Charles, Cincinnati’s heavyweight champion, and hosted by Loveland native Ricky Mulvey.
    ccccc
    The premier episode, “More Than a Gym Fighter” was a deep-dive into a very different Cincinnati. Go to a bustling Findlay Market in the 1940s, in between the pool tables and cigar smoke at the American Legion Hall in Newport, Kentucky for Charles’ first boxing match, and a Battle Royale in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

    cccccc

    Episode 5 and the season finale of Total Fighter is a deep dive into Ezz’s life after the heavyweight championship: from his series against Rocky Marciano to working at the DMV. Mulvey also explores his previously unreported friendship with Muhammad Ali.

    This podcast shines a new light on the underrated Cincinnati Cobra; the greatest light-heavyweight of all time. The series will ultimately follow Charles to his match against Joe Louis, and the characters who followed him– his family and the mafia.

    “The fifth episode of a five part series. Ezzard Charles learns that life as the heavyweight champ isn’t the dream he thought that it would be. This show covers Charles’ series against Rocky Marciano, and his friendship with Muhammad Ali. We also discuss the reasons why Cincinnati rejected its greatest fighter and how you make a living as an ex-heavyweight champion.”

    Total Fighter features interviews and stories from Buddy LaRosa, founder of LaRosa’s Pizza, William Dettloff, author of “Ezzard Charles: a Boxing Life,” Frank Wettencamp, one of Ezz’s high school classmates, and more.

    This show explores his complex character; why the name “Ezzard Charles” became an insult by Frank Sinatra and an inspiration to the composer George Russell.

    “Full of Cents” – Business news, but better

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland native Ricky Mulvey started reporting sports as an eighth-grade paid intern at Loveland Magazine. While at the newspaper he went on to do interviews and be a “Talking Head” at a Barack Obama campaign rally in Cincinnati, and a Joe Biden campaign rally in Milford. He did post-game reports and coach interviews at Loveland High School and kept readers abreast of the career of mixed-martial-artist, and National wrestling champion, Loveland’s Matt “The Hammer” Hamill.

    Mulvey has since graduated from Ohio State and has recently teamed up with David English from Lexington, now a resident of Downtown Cincinnati, to co-host their “Full of Cents” podcast that can be found on the sidebar of Loveland Magazine. The Full of Cents tag line is, “Business news is boring. Let’s make it interesting, fun, and understandable.” There are new episodes streaming every Tuesday and Thursday. Mulvey and English cut through the headlines and talk about how business news affects you.

    David English is a Kentucky Wildcat, soccer fanatic, and a credentialed financial professional. He loves spending time with his wife, Amy, and tweeting at people who will probably not interact with him back.

     

    Loveland Magazine jumped at the chance to re-introduce Mulvey to our readers, introduce David English, and promote their podcast with a link where you can listen to Full of Cents right on our side-bar.

    Columnist Cassie Mattia invited English and Mulvey to the LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV studio to ask them why podcasts have become so popular, why people should trust what they say, and how they are making financial news interesting and fun.

    New episodes of Full of Cents stream every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to subscribe and you’ll never miss an episode!
