    [Kudos] What are people saying about Loveland Magazine?

    Thank you for this article. What a service.

    I want to make a donation, but I don’t like to pay via pay pal, etc.  If you tell me your address, I’ll send a check.  I really appreciate your videos of events in Loveland, exp. the council meetings.  Too bad you aren’t able to video as you did in the past.  Thanks.

    ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE. GOOD WORK MISTER ED !! 

    You do a great job keeping us informed! Thanks for all your hard work. (Town hall issue takes me back to the White Pillars era!)

    One of your finer moments as a publisher/editor. 

    And you have had ever so many already. I’m proud to call you a friend. Keep up the good work.

    Bang on Willie. And kudos to LM editor for publishing it.

    Thanks again for all you do, the free advertising for fire donations is awesome.

    What a great issue!

    I really appreciated Sam’s article — as well as the images. I’m very appreciative of his work on this. 

    What a fabulous project (Sue and Owen Wilhoite: Mom and son duo teach in Loveland 1st grade classroom) and product! Congratulations on this!

    Wow, great issue!

    I feel like you are the Heart of the Heart.

    Thank you for publishing this.  It looks fantastic!

    I support the Loveland Magazine. Thank you,Dave for your time and energy that you put into it.

    You do excellent work!

    Thanks for sharing these photos.  Amazing how high and quick the water got.

    Wow, that was fast! Thanks… I’ve seen it now on Twitter and FB, too! Shows the reach of on-line over print.

    Just wanted to tell you that this was an extraordinary issue–and not just because there was a story about L.I.F.E.  Your coverage of all of the events in Loveland was comprehensive and got the word out that people need to hear.

    Thank you so much for your presence in our community.

    Thank you so much for helping us gain some exposure for the event. (I saw you posted the information early this week.) I look forward to seeing you and your grand daughter on the 18th.

    Thank you for the photo!! It was great to see you!

    Thank you for speaking up and speaking out, as well as exposing this act.

    Thanks David for keeping us up to date!  Government by the people, of the people and for the people……must not perish from this earth!

    Thanks for helping to promote Loveland and the artists that call it home!

    The story is great! We’ve already received several requests for shirts. 

    Thanks for all your help in getting Jackson and Morlan together.  I think it really speaks to how valuable your Loveland Magazine is to our Loveland Community.

    It was written more than “ok”, good buddy.

    It was bang on ….hammer on the nail. 

    Well done. 

    WOW!   What can we say, but thank you for that minute of needed cheer!  We’ll be honest, we were so choked up and we couldn’t hold back the tears.  I ran to the bathroom because I didn’t want the nurses at the hospital to see me crying. David, I will never doubt your genuine friendship and love for others.  You are an amazing man that I respect greatly. I know this only to be true because of our friendship first, but then to see what you post.  You care and it means a great deal to all of us in the Loveland community.  We appreciate everything you do. 

    Thank you so very much for posting that! I broke down in tears and had to leave the room. He couldn’t believe they did that for him. I am overwhelmed to say the least.  What is the best way to thank the cheer team?

    You are amazing. Thank you so much for your help with this!

    Congratulations David Miller for having the courage to buck an awful trend right and say what you said, no to Trump!! I’ve only had a small council job in Milford, but that man has no clue how to govern equitably for all of us!  Thank you, stay strong.

    Thank you, Loveland Magazine, for publishing a common-sense endorsement. In a town with many outspoken Trump supporters, this was a risk, and I applaud the honesty. 

    I love your work, what you do for Loveland….the picture you posted of my son. Soccer is wonderful. I’m going thru some rugged times but once I’m on my feet, I will do what I can to pitch in.

    Thank you for the front page promotion, David!!!

    I want to publicly thank the Loveland Magazine for its continuing support of the Loveland Police Department. We must find a way to heal the division in this country before more lives are lost.

    David, this is such a really heart warming message. Thank you so much. 

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful message.

    Thank you for that, David. It’s one of my favorite poems. Katie read it for Mitch’s funeral and has silence the pianos tattooed on her arm. What a sad day for our country. I fear things will worsen until there is better control of weapons and communication between races and “establishment”. Peace seems so far away. 

    Dear Dave,

    That was beautiful! What is happening with people? Why so much hate? It is terrible that those things happens. In Venezuela it is the same, day by day people get murdered because of nothing….terrible!

    We have to pray for the world!

    Bless you.

    Well said.  Thank you. You rock this town. 

    Beautifully done!!!!

    I like your article, condolences for the police, thank you.

    Amen….

    I am very thankful for your very gracious gesture. I am in the middle of writing an article on this topic. I will get back with you shortly. 

    I watched both of the July 4 videos you posted on Loveland Magazine.  You did a wonderful job showcasing Loveland businesses and the event.  Thank you for all you do for Loveland.

    I think this is a brilliant response on free speech! 

    Too few people actually understand the freedoms, and limitations thereof, granted by our Constitution and its amendments. Thank you for this simple explanation.

    So well done, sir – 

    David, thank you so much. I appreciate your help in keeping the memory of Seth going in the Loveland community.

    Amazing coverage. What a gift you give. 

    Your Welcome – really enjoy Loveland Magazine – much continued success!

    Thank you for your great story on the solution! 

    You have been so kind and fair to the market the last two months. Thank you very much and thanks for the super vision on POP Easter services. You rock! 

    Damn… You’re on a roll with all the breaking news.

    Good Morning Dave – I wanted to thank you for sharing The LBC’s address to council. It has created many conversations; a good thing. Take Care.

    You do great things! 

    Thank you for you diligent hard work. I always get my local news from your website.  You do a GREAT job! 

    Thanks Dave for the election results.

    Thanks, Dave! We appreciate you sharing about “Mix it Up.” Hope all is well!

    Thank you.  It’s really good news for Loveland and Loveland schools, too. 

    Hi Dave , My family and I would like to thank you for your compassion and support of our daughter. You have always been such a great supporter and we have never even met. You’re a wonderful person Dave and God Bless you. Thank you so very much.

    You’re awesome! I really appreciate your coverage on this and all things Loveland:)

    Thanks so much for posting about the Loveland Show at Nisbet park.

    You do so much for the Loveland community: keeping council honest, helping the Canoe & Kayak Livery, promoting local charities & schools, just to name a few.

    Thanks so much for all you do and know that you are very much appreciated.

    Great photo of the lightning strike David!

    What a shot! Loveland Magazine never sleeps 🙂

    YOU’VE CREATED A BLOODY FIRESTORM…… NEVER SEEN SO MANY COMMENTS.

    I really appreciate the light you are shedding on the plight of the Loveland canoe and Kayak folks. I hope that the city does the right thing!

    I guess you did your job well, because this article is making me furious. The thing is, if they leave,  someone else will find a way to make it work, which eliminates their leverage – even more enraging. 

    You really made their case in a way that people will feel. I hope city council behaves honorably. ..

    Really appreciate this.  Thanks so much!  Very helpful information.

    Nice research and write-up. This is not at all surprising as it is how large scale development gets done these days…some deals are significantly more complex…look where development is “hot” and you’ll see even more increased complexity.

    Interesting information about the new apartment development in Loveland. Some secret meetings, closed door agreements, a lot of public funding for a commercial development. Good job Loveland Magazine uncovering this information.

    What an incredible spirit! David, you do the work of love.

    I love the feature LHS graduation image! These kids and parents are soooooooo lucky to have you cover this and publish it! And love the image with you and Martin Schickel! 

    You are brilliant.

    The work you are doing is wonderful!

    This paper is Outstanding!

    I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that I can’t go to this year’s talent slam. Our CMH School auction is tonight, too. Damn. Two great event on the same night! I know it will be awesome and I can’t wait for vimeos and pictures from the night.

    Have a wonderful evening and know that I really wish I could be there.  It is such a fantastic event and it helps to raise awareness for suicide.



     

  • Loveland High School Spring Sports Recap

    Loveland High School Spring Sports Recap

    by Staff Writer Sam Smith

    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. Vaughn Richter held #5 in the 100-meter dash and #8 in the 200-meter dash; Brett Kluge came in #4 in the 400-meter dash and #7 in the 800-meter dash. Caleb Davis held #3 in the 800-meter dash, #4 in the 1600-meter run, #2 in the 3200.  Jacob Korniak ended at #9 in the 800 and #6 in the 1600; Greg Ballman came in #10 in the 1600, #8 in the 3200 and Juliano Aquilino holds #5 the 110 meter hurdles. Nate Webster came in #5 in the 300-meter hurdles and #9 in the long jump.

    Nate Webster competes in the long jump against Anderson. Webster came in ninth for long jump.

    In shotput, Colin Flanagan is in #2; Quinn James is at #7 and Graham Martin is at #8. In Discus, Graham Martin is at #2 and Colin Flanagan is at #3. Quinn James is in #9 and Josh Elfers at #10. Drew Kluender is at #2 in the high jump and Cade Smeller is at #6; Cooper Smeller is at #2 in pole vault and Joe Carver is at #4.

    “State went well. It didn’t go as planned, but just to make it there was a blessing. Being a runner-up is still a great achievement– it’s just sad it was my last time going [to Columbus] to race,” explained Mens track athlete Zion Wynn. Wynn consistently ranked top in races throughout the spring season. Zion Wynn came in first in the 100m dash at regionals, first in the 400m and first for the 200m. Wynn came in first place in all three of his regional races.

    For Womens track, Jordan Morrison ended in #7 for the 100 and #5 in the 200. Kayla Hartzler came in #6 for the 3200; Aiden Dial sits at #4 in the 100 meter high hurdles. Skyler Fallon ended the season at #7 and Carson Sarver at #10. In shotput, Kennedy Bontrager holds #1 and #2 in discus; Maddie Craft is at #4 in discus and #9 in shotput. Ally Kluender came in #1 for discus. In the long jump, Lauren Williams ended at #7 and Caroline Wagner is at #10. Kendall Ewert is at #1 in the high jump, Sarah Klenke is at #3 in high jump and Riley Massey is at #3; In the pole vault, Hailey Florence held #3 and Rachel Crum #5.

    On June 3rd, Zion Wynn, Ally Kleunder and Kennedy Bontrager represented Loveland at State. Wynn came in 3rd place in the 200m and 2nd in the 400m. Kennedy Bontrager came in 13th for Shotput. Ally Kluender placed 7th in discus.

    Wynn and Kluender were unable to attend graduation, as they were competing at state. Both receieved their diploma on the podium at the state competition.

    “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.

    Mens lacrosse ended tied for first in the conference with Kings and Milford. All three had a 4-1 record for the conference season. Overall, Loveland ended with 13-6 win/loss for the season.

    Mens tennis also saw success, tying with Walnut Hills for second in the ECC. Both ended with a 4-2 record.

    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.

     

    Graduate, Maggie Bailey

     

    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.
