  • [VIDEO] 22nd Annual Pass it On Food Drive

    [VIDEO] 22nd Annual Pass it On Food Drive

    David Miller is the Managing Editor of Loveland Magazine.

    UPDATE: Loveland Schools reports that students and staff donated more than 6,000 food items.

    Loveland, Ohio – I met Nancy Grant at the corner of Lebanon Road and Durango Drive right across from the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church this morning where she was directing traffic for the 22nd Annual Pass it On Food Drive. Hundreds of Loveland Intermediate School and Loveland Middle School students were carrying food to the church that they donated to the LIFE Food Pantry. The food will be packaged into Thanksgiving baskets for local residents and clients of the pantry.

    The children walked about 3/4 mile to hand deliver the food.

    The food drive was started by Nancy Grant to heal wounds after the terrorist attack on 9/11. The purpose is so that clients of the LIFE Food Pantry and other residents in the community can eat well at Thanksgiving and later in December.

    Grant said twenty-two years ago, “Well, we can’t change the world, but we can change our little corner of it.” She had this idea to line up the kids down the street and pass the food donations one bag and box, hand-to-hand at a time to one another until it reached the church. A pay it forward so children could feel good about themselves. She thought it worked after 9/11 and has ever since. The students didn’t exactly “pass-it-on” to one another like they used to, but each carried their own donations to the church.

    After the donations arrive, adult volunteers will sort, date-check, organize, and assemble a Thanksgiving meal box to go out to area families. The huge effort is to ensure that all our Loveland families and singles will have the items they need so they can sit down together and enjoy a traditional meal for the holiday.

  • Numerous sources: Loveland’s Drew Plitt headed to Bengal training camp

    Numerous sources: Loveland’s Drew Plitt headed to Bengal training camp

    Loveland, Ohio – Geoff Hobson the Senior Writer for Bengals.com reported yesterday, “Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said after Friday’s practice that they’ll be without quarterback Joe Burrow for several weeks and wouldn’t say what that means for the Sept. 10 opener in Cleveland.”

    Chris Roling in the Bengals Wire wrote yesterday, “In the wake of the injury to quarterback Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals head coach  Zac Taylor had confirmed the team will add another quarterback to take training camp and preseason reps with Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning.

    “Not too long after that revelation, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Bengals hosted quarterbacks Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt on workouts.

    “Plitt is the name Bengals fans will recognize. A Loveland High School product, Plitt was with the team last summer before going on to find success in the XFL.”

    Ian Rapoport the “National Insider for NFL Network and NFL.com.” has reported, “With #Bengals QB Joe Burrow sidelined for several weeks with a calf strain, Cincy is working out two former XFL QBs — Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt (who was with the #Bengals in camp last year).
    There has been no official statement about Pitt from the Bengals.
    Plitt has been with the Arlington Renegades of the the XFL.

    Plitt has previous experience playing in the pre-season opener for the Bengals. Loveland Magazine reported in August, 2022, “The only thing that stopped six-for-six Bengal rookie Drew Plitt Friday night at the 2022 pre-season opener in the newly renamed Paycor Stadium was when he found the endzone via a 25 yd. floater to wide-receiver Kendric Pryor. Plitt threw for 77 yds with a perfect rating of 158.33. Plitt completed the Bengals’ first touchdown in Paycor Stadium history.” (Only one thing stopped six-for-six Bengal rookie Drew Plitt Friday…)

    Plitt went to high school in Loveland, Ohio where he played quarterback for the Tigers. His biggest achievement at Loveland was leading the school to the 2013 Division II state title which was the school’s first state championship ever. In 2015, he threw for over 1,400 yards with 15 passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns in ten games. He was the team captain and was honorable mention all-district as a senior.
