Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition No school should not mean “no learning.” Keep your kids active physically and mentally this summer by providing them fun, interesting, and educational things to do. This summer enrichment guide has 3 major parts: summer theme suggestions (this year focusing on the out-of-doors and fun at home), websites to find activities and events over the summer months, and suggested destinations within a 2 ½-3 hour radius of St. Thomas More. We are already planning ways to have fun over the summer. Joe has chosen a Hiking theme (our outdoor focus) and Michael has chosen Cooking (fun at home). Hopefully this guide will help your family do the same! Julie Esposito ([email protected]) Summer Theme Ideas Joe informed me six years ago that he wanted to study fossils. Michael, not wanting to be outdone, promptly said that if Joe got to study fossils, he wanted to study bones. Thus was born our new tradition of summer themes. Each child choses a topic and we look for books, websites, activities, events, destinations, and adventures centered around the theme. Other themes we have explored included gardens, forts, insects, airplanes & aviation, astronomy & the night sky, archeology, games, international, and Indians. Here are some of the ways we accomplish this: Check-out and read library books on the chosen topic(s) Search the web for videos and kid-friendly websites Have family discussion on topics related to the theme and family game nights Attend programs/activities offered locally for kids that fit in with the theme Visit places in town or as day trips to the surrounding area that fit the theme Look for ways to incorporate the theme in our vacation travel plans Plan cooking/dining experiences around the theme COVID-19: Did you know that in all the countries tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been only one major identified outbreak outdoors? 90% of outbreak incidents took place in homes, workplaces, restaurants, and indoor gatherings (i.e. parties, religious services, and indoor sporting events). The moral: Get Outside! Below are some summer theme ideas for your family to consider. Here are the 30 themes from previous summers, along with two news themes for 2021—Hiking and Cooking (the themes my boys have chosen!). All themes have been updated with 2021 dates, and things are finally starting to open up again after 14 months of COVID cancellations and closures. I also tried to add some more web sites this year (always an ongoing goal). I tried to provide ideas for SAFE family fun! Be sure to check that museums and sites are open—some are still closed due to COVID, but more will open after June 2nd. 2021 New Themes Hiking Great spots for a short near-by hike: o Cincinnati Nature Center (Rowe Woods and Long Branch Farm)—consider a membership o Sycamore Park, Batavia and adjacent Wilson Nature Preserve o Woodland Mound Park, Anderson Twsp. o Johnson Hills Park, Anderson Twsp. o Shor Park on Tealtown Rd. o Pattison Park, Owensville o Batavia Township Park o East Fork State Park o Stonelick State Park o Withrow Nature Preserve, Anderson Twsp o California Nature Preserve, California, OH o Stanberry Park, Mt.

I’ll send you my trail activity cards that I put together when my kids were little (we still use the games and themes when we hike!) Plan a progressive lunch or dinner on a trail—pack re-closable drink bottles and meal items that are easily eaten on a trail. Find a different scenic stop to eat each “course” of your progressive meal. Plan a scavenger hunt hike—email me if you need a game board, or make up your own! Take a family treasure hunt hike (requires participation of at least 2 adults)—Prepare a treasure ahead of time, then select a loop trail. Split your group in half with each group going in opposite ways around the loop. Hide your treasure and draw a map as you work toward meeting in the middle. Exchange maps and continue on, now looking for the treasure the other group hid! Participate in a hiking event at the Cincinnati Nature Center https://calendar.cincynature.org o Make a hiking stick o Participate in the Hike for Your Health Passport Program—record your hikes on all of the Cincinnati Nature Center trails and win prizes o Participate in a guide group themed hike (many to choose from) o Participate in a Trail Yoga program Hike to a waterfall (see Waterfall theme below)—wear your Keenes so that you can wade in the water and cool off! Pack watercolors and paper—hike to a scenic overlook and pain the scene. Take a field guide along—how many trees/birds/insects etc. can you identify on your hike? Plan a cool post-hike treat—scout out the nearest ice cream shop before leaving home. Our favorite: Young’s Dairy in Yellow Springs, OH Traveling this summer? Plan a hike as part of your vacation. It is a great way to experience nature in a different habitat. Cooking Spend time in the kitchen at the beginning of the summer covering the basics of cooking: following a recipe, kitchen hygiene, basic units of measure, knife/stove/oven safety, kitchen appliance use, etc. Make sure to make some fun foods, so your kids enjoy these basic lessons! Consider signing your budding chef up for a cooking class: https://ohparent.com/best-kids- cooking-classes-in-cincinnati/ Or tryout an online program: https://www.thespruceeats.com/best-online-cooking-classes-for- kids-5073859 Take older kids with you to Dream Dinners in Anderson Town Center. Let them help you measure everything out for your pre-prepped meals. Then have fun cooking the meals together. Choose a different focus each week. Examples may include: appetizers, desserts, campfire cooking, grilling, crock pot cooking, pressure cooker cooking, etc. Explore kids cooking activities online. Choose your favorite activities to try in your home “test kitchen.” https://www.kids-cooking-activities.com/ Cook out: plan a dinner at a park or campsite cooked over a wood or charcoal fire. Try stick cookery, foil packet cooking, or putting the vented can of beans or beef stew right in the hot coals (cook until it bubbles up through the vents!)—don’t forget the s’mores!!! Create a Family Cookbook or Recipe File (digital or printed) with your families favorite recipes Plan at least one day a week to cook together as a family. Grow vegetables or herbs in a garden or in containers—incorporate your fresh produce in your cooking. Find a themed cookbook that appeals to your kids—Harry Potter, Disney, Minecraft, etc. Purchase the book or check it out of the library. Let your kids choose their favorite recipe and prepare it! Practice culinary calculating and conversions—double or triple a recipe and work on fractions and multiplication. For younger kids, use measuring cups and pitchers of water colored with food coloring to practice measuring and explore the relationship between tea spoons, tablespoons, and the standard measuring cups. Visit Jungle Jims and choose a unique ingredient that you have never tried before—incorporate it in your cooking. Have a family cook-off: divide your family into teams and have them compete (on different nights or different weeks) to see who can put the tastiest, fanciest, or (name your own superlative) meal on the table. Cook culinary dishes typically served in other countries. o Try a different international dish each week. (Do it from home!) o Try an international culinary kids kit from www.eat2explore.com ($25) (Do it from home!) Experience food and cooking from past eras with one of these events: o An Evening on the Canal at Johnston Farm, Piqua, OH August 7, 2021 https://johnstonfarmohio.com/PDF/Events/2021/2021%20Happenings.pdf o Attend a Period Dinner at the Heritage Village in Sharon Woods August 25, 2021 https://heritagevillagecincinnati.org/events/period-dinner/ Other Themes to Consider—30 Themes with updated Event Dates *Remember to always check that a business

Sample locations were either stratified by drainage area or selected to ensure adequate representation of principal linear reaches. In addition, some sites were selected to support development of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) models or because they are part of Ohio EPA’s reference data set. Four major municipal and two major industrial NPDES permitted entities exist in the study area (Table 1). Beyond assuring that sample locations were adequate to assess these potential influences, the survey was broadly structured to characterize possible effects from other pollution sources. These sources include minor permitted discharges, unsewered communities, agricultural or industrial activities, and oil, gas or mineral extraction.

  • FRSM Newsletter August 2010
    Fort Recovery State Museum Newsletter August, 2010 Successful Grand Re-Opening Over 300 visitors attended the Museum’s Grand Re-Opening on July 11. What a great day it was! The “new” museum received consistently high reviews. It was a pleasure hearing the positive responses. We appreciated the comments made and the beautiful framed certificate and picture presented to the museum by Representative Jim Zehringer. Also presented to the local historical society was a certificate from the Ohio Historical Society. We were proud to host a number of representatives of OHS, including George Kane, Director of Historic Sites. Coming from a great distance for this special event was patron Victor Wells who drove for 2 1/2 days to partake in the festivities and then turned around and drove right back to his home/work in Colorado. No one could show greater support! Thank you, Victor. We also appreciated that so many of you patrons attended. We were so proud to see the many blue and gold ribbons worn that day! Thank YOU! Record-Breaking 5K Run As a result of a well executed 2009 St. Clair 5K, and a super 2010 effort by coordinators, Kathy /Tony Gonzalez and Kim/Brent Niekamp, the number of run participants exceeded our highest expectations - over 350! The coordinators send their appreciation to all patrons who helped and a special “Thank You” to the shirt sponsors: Rep. Jim Zehringer; Natures Green; Independent Capital Management; JR Industries; Cooper Farms; Wabash Telephone; Mercer Osteopathic; and Mercer Health. ( he complete list of Thank You’s is attached.) It appears that the run profited nearly $3500.

  • Archaeology As Restoration Ecology: a Model from Sunwatch
    ARCHAEOLOGY AS RESTORATION ECOLOGY: A MODEL FROM SUNWATCH INDIAN VILLAGE/ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK (33My57) A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Sara Rose DeAloia August 2004 This thesis entitled ARCHAEOLOGY AS RESTORATION ECOLOGY: A MODEL FROM SUNWATCH INDIAN VILLAGE/ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK (33My57) BY SARA ROSE DeALOIA has been approved for the Program of Environmental Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences by Elliot Abrams Professor of Anthropology Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences DeALOIA, SARA ROSE. M.S. August 2004. Environmental Studies Archaeology as Restoration Ecology: A Model from SunWatch Indian Village/ Archaeological Park (33My57)(87 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elliot Abrams This research is intended to demonstrate how SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park presents possibilities for how restoration ecology and archaeology can augment and inform each other by looking at both the site and the environmental restoration at the site from an historical ecology perspective. There are two major themes of this work: first, the application of archaeological data to modern environmental issues and second, the importance of viewing landscapes as both natural and cultural phenomena which interact in a series of complex relationships throughout time. I present a comprehensive overview of the site, providing the paleothnobotanical data collected by previous researchers in order to show how such archaeological data can be used to inform restoration work. The research ends with a presentation of how SunWatch can provide a model for doing this work in other places, as well as a series of questions and criteria necessary for determining when and where it is appropriate.
