LOVELAND, OHIO NEWS - The Loveland City School District will be hosting two community informational meetings about district finances, and the operating levy that will be on the March 4th ballot.
The first session will be on Saturday, February 9, from 9 -10 AM, at Loveland Intermediate Center Media Center, 757 So. Lebanon Road. They will repeat the session on Tuesday, February 12, from 7-8 PM at the same location. For more information, contact the Loveland School’s Board Office at (513) 683-5600.
Loveland has an 8.5 operating levy on the March 4, 2008 ballot. The levy will cost property owners $260.31 per $100,000 of appraised real estate value, according to the District. At the same time of the collection of this levy in January of 2009, there will be a simultaneous reduction in school taxes. The District estimates that instead of an additional $260, there will be a net increase of approximately $140 or $12 a month per $100,000 of valuation. This planned millage drop is based on a reduction in the principal and interest payment from the 1998 bond issue.
Voting Reported Heavy in Critical Super Tuesday States
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the West Virginia GOP caucuses Tuesday, the first result in a day that will see voters in 24 states cast their ballots for Republican and Democratic presidential nominees.
The interactive map on the Newshour web site contains "rollovers" for every state in the country - leading the viewer to see real time voting results as election returns come in tonight. The code for the map and its interactivity was created by Loveland High School Graduate, Katie (Miller) Kleinman. The project is a joint map collaboration with NewsHour and NPR. She graduated from Loveland High School in 1997 and Ohio University in 2001.
Before this, studio producers would look at the Associated Press feeds of each of the primary/caucus voting results, and manually enter each percentage for each candidate. With this new form, the numbers will be prefilled for them as they are entered directly from the Associated Press feeds.
Kleinman also made a splash page for the people in the control room to look at that gives a snapshot of the results/delegate count. She is Senior Developer for the Online NewsHour.
There will be a special election broadcast on PBS from 9-midnight that will take full advantage of Kleinman's code work.
Also on the NewsHour website NPR political editor Ron Elving explains how delegates are elected and appointed and what it means for the Democratic and GOP nominations.

LOVELAND, OHIO NEWS - Tucked behind St. Columban’s Parish Office, you can find sanctuary from the hustle of everyday life. Recently, this overlooked natural haven underwent a makeover by Jimmy Turner, a St. Columban graduate and Loveland High School student who earned his Eagle Scout by restoring this portion of the property.
A member of Kings Mills Boy Scout Troop 617, Jimmy spent four months on the trail. He personally logged over 60 hours of work by planning, clearing debris, repairing trash can receptacles, and building and hanging eight new birdhouses. Jimmy, his fellow scouts, family and friends accumulated a total of 121 work hours renovating this once neglected habitat.
Jimmy’s attachment to the School and Church led him to choose this site for his Eagle Scout project. Although obtaining the highest ranking was very demanding, he encourages all Boy Scouts to strive for this goal stating that “the feeling of accomplishment is well worth it.”
Jimmy is now an approved leader within his troop, and is inspiring his fellow Scouts to reach their personal goals as he aspires to achieve his next objective – studying Mechanical Engineering in college.
Thanks again, Jimmy, for your dedication and contribution to bettering our community. It is greatly appreciated, and your Eagle Scout ranking is well deserved!
