Your monthly news & updates

Hello Neighbors,
Summer is winding down and Autumn will be here before you know it. Along with shorter days and changing leaves, school is back in session and students from kindergarten to our local universities are heading back to class. This means we are all experiencing heavier traffic and the addition of buses to our morning commutes. All these factors make September the perfect time to talk about safer streets!
I think everyone in North Avondale has seen or heard about a traffic incident that has left us scared and concerned. Collisions and close calls are all too common in our neighborhood and Cincinnati at large. So, what are we supposed to do about it? Luckily, we have some wonderful speakers at this month’s meeting who will educate us on
topics like pedestrian safety, traffic, public transportation and more!
This is a great opportunity for our community to come together and learn about how we can take action personally and as a neighborhood to make our streets safer.
Have you heard of
Vision Zero
? “It is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities.” We will have a representative joining us to talk about their efforts in Cincinnati!
How many cars could be taken off our roads if more people used
public transportation
? That is why we have invited the folks from SORTA and the Transportation Coalition to discuss mass transit’s role in making safer streets for all our citizens.
I hope that you will join us for this month’s meeting to get all the details! We have a great opportunity to come together and make the streets of North Avondale among the safest in the city.

NABA
- Designed by Samuel Hannaford in 1907, 3864 Reading Road, also known as the Rubel property, a 6500 square foot home, is an historically significant landmark. At the urging of NABA and NANA, the City joined with the Port Authority to provide the financial support to stabilize the property. Now as that process nears completion, NABA, NANA and the City are seeking proposals for development of the property as either commercial, residential or mixed use. Its location near the southern entrance of our business district is ideal for commercial development seeking high visibility.
- At the other end of the district, Sonny’s, recently purchased and remodeled, is now open as Bar 29. Open from 2 pm to 2 am Bar 29 offers a secure environment to enjoy a good meal and adult libation. After 6 pm you must be over 30 to be admitted. Dress code is enforced. Fridays and Saturdays a police detail will be on duty in the evenings. Stop in and say hi to “Shaq” the new owner/manager and welcome her to our growing community.
Michael Caporale,
President NABA

Here at Earth911, we want to ensure that your satellite TV dish is properly handled at the end of its life. Unfortunately, DirectTV, Dish TV, and DirectTV-parent AT&T frequently direct customers to Earth911 for recycling services, claiming we will come and remove the dish and receiver. This is not the case. If you are looking to recycle your satellite TV dish, clink on the link above for some tips to get you started.

NAM Students Selected to Participate in First CPS-Jazz Academy!
Congratulations to Ireland D. B. and Fernando L. E. for being selected to participate in the first CPS Jazz Academy. Students were selected across the district to attend the program.
"This is quite an honor for my students to be selected in the academy. Competition was keen for the openings and Ireland and Fernando did a remarkable job," said NAM music teacher, Wesley Barnfield.
"I am proud of our students and excited for them to be selected to the Jazz Academy. For students to receive training by Master Teachers in the area of jazz, will be a valuable learning experience." Mr. Barnfield does a tremendous job with our students regarding vocal and instrumental instruction," said Principal Lewis.

The New School Montessori (TNSM)
|

Teachers in our (6-9) program presented the first of five Great Lessons in the elementary Montessori curriculum. This first lesson is called Coming of the Universe and piques the students' curiosity and encourages their further exploration of astronomy, meteorology, chemistry, physics, geology and geography.
The teachers each played a part in the demonstration. Throughout the lesson, one of the teachers gave a dramatic narration of how the universe was formed from the empty vastness of space. The exercise began with the lighting of a candle to represent the sun. Then a balloon filled with glitter popped, scattering matter all about. The teachers demonstrated various layers of liquids, showing how the heavier-weight liquids sank to the bottom and how solids became liquids and liquids became gases. The demonstration ended with a volcanic eruption, representing the magma inside Earth, escaping through a volcano.
