The importance of a father figure’s example in a man’s life

The ability to make up for poor actions and improve weak parts in our behavior and character is strengthened when a father who disciplines also does what he teaches. By doing so, a good father becomes a great role model for the future for his own family. ©istockphoto.com/monkeybusinessimages (courtesy)

Youngsters embrace technology that combines art, software in 3D printing – Tribune

Joey Bennett likes computers, much like any typical 13-year-old, but he does more than play games.

He designs three-dimensional models — images of food, plants, space objects, toys and animals — that can be manufactured by laying down layers of material using 3D printers.

His models are so popular that CGTrader , an online 3D model marketplace, ranks him seventh among more than 100,000 users.

“I’ve made roughly 300 items. … I’ve done a lot of different things,â€� said Joey, of Columbiana County, Ohio.

A 3D model is made using software that manipulates width, depth and height. Youngsters are embracing the technology, education experts said.

Most technology education classes in the region teach 3D modeling and printing, replacing traditional shop class in which students made birdhouses, model airplanes or paperweights, experts said.

Core curriculum classes, such as history, math and language arts, have been slower to incorporate 3D processes, but educators are trying to change that, said Kevin Conner, curriculum and instructional technology coordinator at Allegheny Intermediate Unit. In a history class, for example, a teacher might have students design 3D models of historic landmarks or artifacts from the Civil War, he said.

‘Our world is different’

Elizabeth Forward School District teaches 3D modeling and 3D printing at every school level, Assistant Superintendent Todd Keruskin said.

The Furnace of the Mind of Metalsmith Sherry Ray-Von

Photos by Asia Morris. Full gallery below.

Sherry Ray-Von is an artist, to say the least, and far exceeds the boundaries of any category within the creative realm. She is not only a sculptor, but a scavenger, seeking out the used and discarded trash of the less appreciative, to find a place and a creative purpose for each found object. She is not only a metalsmith, but a woman finding solace through wielding raw materials. She is not simply a maker, but an innately innovative creature called to create.

“When Mikey was going to Orange County High School of the Arts, I would go trolling through the alleys for metal,” explained Sherry Ray-Von. “I would take him to school and I would go down all of them. Through Santa Ana, Orange, then back home. I’d have screwdrivers and tools and anything I needed to take things apart and put them in the car. I had a van. No seats in the back. I had packing tape and boxes so I could pack things up and throw them in. Then I started filling the storage unit, and I brought all of that here with me to Long Beach. I moved here eight years ago.”

She sits at her dining table-turned-display counter in her three-story loft and explains why casting is her current calling. 

“I took a jewelry-metals class and when we started to cast, that is when I fell in love with it,” she said, her face becoming rufescent. “I took this class

Pilot killed, couple unhurt when plane crashes into home near Midway

Luz Cazares woke Tuesday morning to a loud crash and the sight of a plane’s tail sticking out from the home of her neighbors, a couple in their 80s, just blocks from Midway Airport.

“A big part of the airplane was in their living room,” said Cazares, 62.  “I thought they were dead.”

But then Cazares looked through a window and saw Raymond and Roberta Rolinskas standing in the hallway outside their bedroom, inches away from the wreckage.

“I ran to the back of the yard, I jumped the fence and I knocked on the back door of the kitchen,” Cazares said. “She (Roberta) opened the door and I took her outside. She was scared. She kept asking, ‘What is happening? What is happening?'”

Police officers went into the home and brought out her husband, and the couple were taken to the home of another neighbor, Jeanine Venckus. “Not a scratch on them, not a scratch,” Venckus said. “They’re shook up and bewildered.”

The pilot of the twin-engine cargo plane was dead on the scene, but it took firefighters hours to shore up the home and recover the body of Eric Quentin Howlett, 47.  “The floor of the living room collapsed into the basement,” said Chicago fire Chief Michael Fox.

Howlett was the only person aboard when the plane crashed into the Rolinskases’ home in the 6500 block of South Knox Avenue shortly after taking off from Midway around 2:45 a.m., aviation officials said.

He was still circling the airport when he radioed the air traffic
