Recycle holiday lights instead of throwing them in the trash

 

Free Holiday Lights Recycling at Great Parks

Have your holiday lights lost their twinkle? Drop off broken or unwanted lights at any Great Parks visitor center between December 10, 2014, and January 11, 2015.

Recycling holiday lights instead of throwing them in the trash keeps them out of landfills and gives them a new life.

The lights are collected and recycled by Great Parks’ current contractor for metal recycling.

Marked bins are available at:

How to Photograph Christmas Lights

 

Normally when we talk about balancing light on Strobist, it usually means balancing ambient with flash. But getting good photos of holiday lights involves a different kind of light balancing: Continuous ambient with fading ambient.

You don't need a high-end camera for great results. You can use a very inexpensive digital camera and do just fine. You don't even need flash. It all comes down to what time of the day you shoot. And a couple of other little tricks.  Read on at Strobist...

 

If you have skill, or luck... send your photos HERE and Loveland Magazine will share your photos with the community.

Global volunteer movement Best Buddies now at Loveland Middle School

 

Goal establishment to bring a chapter to Loveland High School beginning in 2015

 

Loveland, Oh. - Loveland Middle School (LMS) is now home to one of only a few middle school chapters of Best Buddies, an international organization focused on promoting one-to-one friendships between students that might not meet under ordinary circumstances.

The LMS chapter of Best Buddies kicked off its inaugural year with a fantastic night of bowling at Eastgate Lanes. Members pictured (L to R): Jack Shanahan, Merrick Hummer, Olivia Piziali, Noah King, Natalie Drury, Jack Wentland, Adian Mitchell and Eileen Wassel. Members not pictured: Max Pardue, Ryan Paolino, Josh Albin, Grace Powell, Jordan Morrison and Grace Bernth.

“Partnerships nurture one-to-one friendships between students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities, and an environment of acceptance and friendship is paramount,” said LMS Teacher Jenn Ramage, who works as an advisor to the group, along with colleagues Rachael Angel and Carol Huxhold. “Members are paired according to similar interests and encouraged to communicate regularly at school, at least once per week via texting or telephone conversation, and schedule a social event together at least once per month.

“The founding of the Best Buddies chapter at LMS is the first step in bringing this global volunteer movement to the Cincinnati region. It is the goal of the LMS chapter to blossom throughout the year and continue to grow through the establishment of a chapter at Loveland High School beginning in 2015.”

Currently there are 14 charter members; students and families interested in becoming involved in Best Buddies can contact any advisor for additional information via email: [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].

Loveland High School Senior Mattingly Poole’s self-portrait on display in D.C.

 

International art exhibition opened Nov. 18 at Kennedy Center

 

“Myself.”

That is the title Loveland High School (LHS) Senior Mattingly Poole gave her acrylic self-portrait currently on display in Washington D.C.’s Department of Education Auditorium at the Kennedy Center. Poole was selected as one of this year’s winning artworks to VSA’s Yo Soy…Je Suis…I Am… My Neighborhood art competition.

“As Matti’s art teacher I recognized the technical and expressive quality of the self- portrait when she painted in Art II class last fall (2013),” said Jennifer Grant, LHS art teacher. “I submitted to the VSA competition and was informed that it was a winning entry to be exhibited in this year’s show.”

“The Loveland School District provides a continuum of special education programs and services for students with disabilities,” explained Grant. “Mattingly is a student with hearing impairment. She is a student who is enrolled in our special education program and fully participates in the high school art curriculum at Loveland City Schools.”

The 2014 exhibition has been on display at the Department of Education beginning November 18th. To view the online exhibition of over 700 works by international artists with disabilities ages 3 to 22, please click here.

VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, was founded more than 35 years ago by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith to provide arts and education opportunities for people with disabilities and increase access to the arts for all.  Read on...

 

See, experience, think, reflect: D.C. 2014

It was a Veterans Day weekend to remember for 84 Loveland High School (LHS) seniors who spent three days in Washington D.C. seeing, experiencing, thinking and reflecting.

“It’s important to share the lessons of history and self-government, and when you can do it on site, it magnifies the power of the lessons to be learned,” said LHS Teacher Dave Volkman, who organizes the annual trip. “Seniors are on the cusp of adulthood and full citizenship. They must realize that this nation and its future belongs to them. Washington reminds us that history is made by people, just like them, who were confronted with tough questions, and who had to make tough decisions.”

 “My take away from the trip is a new sense of reality, and appreciation,” said LHS Senior Kayla Bullock. “It was incredible to see the Constitution, this faded old document that could easily be scrap paper actually being the basis for our government. To see the memorials, which honored the soldiers who gave their lives to protect it, provided the reality.” 

“I loved Arlington National Cemetery,” said LHS Senior Willie Lutz. “There's a certain beautiful sadness to it. All the head stones are perfectly aligned like a gigantic, beautiful sculpture, but you know there are people's children buried below those stones, people's loved ones. It's amazing to think that they gave their life to this country. If they didn't, there might not be a Washington D.C. to visit.” 

“Washington is a memorial to the American people who have gone before us, who rose to the challenge of self government, who paid the price, in peace or war,” said Volkman. “But, it is also a monument to the future and a question to us. Will we rise to the occasion? Will we accept the responsibilities of citizenship? Will we pay the cost, whatever that may be? I hope they begin to grasp the tremendous responsibility of being an American because they will write the next chapters of the American story.”

 

Pottery Studio teams up with Montessori School

 

Teachers Dana Dale and John Phenix stand with their class and the tree they decorated for the Loveland Arts Council's silent auction benefitting Milford-Miami Ministries. Bids will be accepted on this and many other holiday trees from December 5 through December 20 at Studios on Main located at 529 Main Avenue in Loveland.

 

Children's Meeting House Montessori School (CMH) has joined forces with Whistle Stop ClayWorks (WSCW) to support the Loveland Arts Council's silent auction to benefit Milford-Miami Ministries. CMH Montessori School and WSCW worked together to craft unique, hand made ornaments to adorn two trees that will be available through silent auction from December 5 through December 20. WSCW provided hand made, white clay ornaments and the school children used paints and their imagination to uniquely personalize and decorate each one.

 

"It has been a joy to work with school children to create these hand crafted ornaments.  It really gives a warm feeling to give back this holiday season.  After all, that's really the true spirit of the holidays - it's better to give than receive," says Kay Bolin, co-owner of WSCW.

 

The two trees, along with many others decorated by local artists and businesses, are available for sale via silent auction starting at the Opening Reception on December 5th through December 20th at Studios on Main located at 529 Main Avenue in Loveland.

 

 

The Value of Social and Emotional Learning in Childhood Education

December 10, 2014 The Value of Social and Emotional Learning OCA Report on Sandy Hook Change is in the air. Leaves are falling and the air tingles with the promise of winter’s renewal and at the same time, challenges. Our horses and dog’s coats are long and fuzzy. I brought out the heated water buckets and stored a load of hay for the coming months. With each season that passes, I lament that Jesse is not with me, delighting in the changes and looking forward with eager anticipation as he did as a bright six year old, of what is yet to come. A significant report was released this month by the Office of the Child Advocate in Connecticut regarding the Sandy Hook School shooter, his education and home life. I have been saying, intuitively, that Adam Lanza was not born a mass murderer but was cultivated into one by his environment. The report confirms this, goes into specific mistakes that were made and proposes ways to correct the issues.   The report’s recommendations include gun safety measures along with better mental health screening. I believe the most proactive measure in the report calls for a greater focus on social and emotional learning in our schools. Social and emotional learning includes but is not limited to emotional intelligence, moral awareness, character values, positive psychology, mindfulness, compassion and even the latest neuroscience that shows how the brain works to better understand how we act and react in different situations for self-awareness and control.  The report states that there was a total void in social and emotional learning for A.L. The educational focus, despite obvious and serious emotional issues and continuous red flags throughout his schooling, was on academic performance. Since A.L. was considered a ‘neutral’ student, not overly disruptive in his classroom, he slipped through the cracks. The report’s authors admitted that this was not exclusive to the Sandy Hook school system and that this is happening all over our country! With one school-related shooting every four days we need to take effective action! There is now over 20 years of scientific research that proves the effectiveness of teaching social and emotional programs to children. The benefits are astounding! They include an increased sense of well-being including happiness and feeling more relaxed; improved social behavior including better social interaction, empathy and social acceptance; better emotional control and the cultivation of compassion for one’s self and others, improved optimism; better executive functioning including improved planning and organizational skills, emotional intelligence, and increased inhibitory response to name only a few. This all leads to improved academics including grades and test scores as we know that a well-rounded, emotionally stable child has better executive functioning and can be more attentive in class and learn better. I founded the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation to spread Jesse’s chalkboard message of ‘Nurturing Healing Love’ as well as to develop social and emotional educational programs. Our goal is to start Choose Love Movements all around the world! We have several exciting programs that we are working on including Choose Love Movement Boxes; everything you need in one box to start your own Choose Love Movement and a Rwanda program that is based on the skype experience that JT and I had where the orphan genocide survivors gave us their life changing equation for healing that can be adapted for a classroom. I was under the impression when I started, that all educators, school administrations and parents knew about the importance of SEL and that most were teaching this in some form or fashion. I will admit, I dropped my children off at school in the morning before going to work and assumed they were getting the latest, cutting edge education. I have come to find out that a lot of improvements can be made.  However,  I have learned that this is the case in a lot of areas. There are few to no mandates for SEL teaching. Schools have limited resources and our teachers’ efforts are spread thin with mandatory testing and an all-encompassing focus on academic performance. There is something you can do however, something that I wish that I did earlier and that is to ask what kind of social and emotional program your school is utilizing. Make sure it is taught in all grades. I found that a lone voice can make a big difference. If your school does not have an SEL program then look on our website for a list of wonderful programs that are evidence-based and include the latest scientific research for effectiveness and recommend them. Together we can make a difference for our children.   For more information please visit our website: jesselewischooselove.org

Nancy Sullivan's studio open Saturday evening for Christmas shopping

Promoted Post

Nancy Sullivan's studio will be open this Saturday, 4 until 10 PM, at the Loveland Artists Studios on Main. The collection of artists are celebrating Christmas. Nancy said, "There will be music and refreshments and lots of gift ideas."

As a child, Nancy always was interested in drawing. To keep her out of her folk’s hair they would hand her the comic page of the newspaper, a paper grocery bag and a pencil and she would be occupied for hours. Trying to draw Charlie Brown’s round head has evolved into many exhibitions, jurying art shows, and teaching in her own studio in Loveland, Ohio. Her paintings can be found in corporate and private collections from coast to coast.

Nancy has been a long standing active member of the historic Cincinnati Art Club, serving on the board several times and years ago she was also privileged to be a participant in “Reginald Grooms Circle”.

 

Classes with Nancy

Nancy teaches classes Monday thru Thursday. She concentrates on technique and letting the water do the work.

Classes are two hours long and private or semi private. Nancy teaches children and adults.

Sessions are at 11AM and 2 PM. Supplies are included for beginning painters.

"Loveland"

Take me to loveland
And no one's gonna find me
Cause I'm leavin' this old place
Righ o' here

Nothing is too far
I handle that
Oh trust me
When we're leavin' this old place
Right o' here

Like she has flowers in her hair
And you have flowers in your mouth
'Cause your heart is upside down
And you get dizzy because of her charisma
She will love yo like a twister
And you'll be swept away
Like we were so in love
