BU's community engagement staff serve as a point-of-contact between the University and key community stakeholders, elected officials and their staffs, the regional business community, and the public at large.
Community engagement is critical to the mission of a public university and the development of active citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact in their careers and communities. Our primary goal is to increase collaboration between Bloomsburg University and the larger community around us for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources. We continually seek reciprocal partnerships in the public and private sectors that enrich scholarship and creative activities; enhance curriculum, teaching and learning; engage citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address key societal needs; and contribute to the public good. If you or your organization would like to discuss engaging with the University and our students, please feel free to contact us.
Bloomsburg University has a monthly newsletter called On the Hill designed for the Bloomsburg town community. The newsletter goes out on or near the first of each month and features upcoming events open to all. If you know anyone who would be interested in receiving the publication, sign up using the button below.
Activity Reporting
Whether you are a student, faculty member, or community organization – let us know about your civic engagement and community services activities! A few minutes of your time allows us to document the University's engagement touchpoints across campus as well as recognize you and your student club, class, nonprofit, or other group for your community engagement efforts.
Community engagement activity reporting can be completed by completing this form.
The Bloomsburg University Foundation's Community Impact Fund provides funding for student professional experience projects in the community. Targeted toward activities that benefit the Town of Bloomsburg and communities throughout Columbia County, funding requests may include (but are not limited to) marketing students for non-profits, engagements within a field of study, and more. Funding rounds are open once per semester, and applications are reviewed by a committee including representation from Bloomsburg University, the Bloomsburg University Foundation, the Columbia County Commissioners, and the Town of Bloomsburg.
Funding rounds are announced via our "On the Hill" community newsletter, and applications may be submitted anytime completing the following:
Community Grant
Our team is committed to continual engagement both on and off campus to ensure that our community is a safe and welcoming place for all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, or veteran status. By connecting the Town of Bloomsburg, our surrounding region, and our students, faculty, and staff to educational events, diversity trainings, and opportunities to meet and learn from people of a variety of different backgrounds, we believe Bloomsburg University can and should serve as a diversity, equity, and inclusion leader in our community. Find out more about the work of the President's Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by visiting this link.
While providing a high-quality education to our students remains Bloomsburg University's core mission, we also recognize our broader responsibility to the surrounding region as a state-owned, public university. To that end, Community Engagement regularly assesses the economic impacts – both costs and benefits – that the presence of Bloomsburg University has on our host community, Columbia County, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Some highlights from our most recent assessment can be found in our local economic impact study.
Election Engagement
A key part of positive citizenship is appreciating and exercising the right to vote. Ahead of each election – local, state, and national – Community Engagement staff provide nonpartisan, educational information to students on key election dates, voter registration information, and more via our Election Engagement portal. Students can also get their questions answered anytime by emailing vote@bloomu.edu.

Good Neighbor Program
COMING IN 2021 – Bloomsburg University's Community Engagement staff is in the process of launching a new "Good Neighbor Program," a comprehensive initiative aimed at preparing students for community living off-campus, regularly engaging with off-campus student landlords, educating students on BU Student Code of Conduct expectations off campus, and promoting to our student body best practices and behaviors for being a good neighbor in Bloomsburg.
Off-Campus Work Study
Bloomsburg University's Federal Work Study Program includes funding for off-campus work opportunities. As the employer, your organization has the authority to direct job assignments, regulate hours of work, and ensure that all duties are performed properly, and choose the eligible student(s) you wish to hire and decide if they will continue to be employed each semester.
Bloomsburg University will work with your organization to determine whether work opportunities and students meet eligibility requirements under the Federal Work Study Program, refers employment-eligible students to the employer, determines the number of hours per week a student is allowed to work, determines the start/end dates of employment, completes payroll paperwork, and pays the wages of the student. Community Engagement will work with you to get employment opportunities posted internally through our Office of Alumni & Professional Engagement and will connect you with our Financial Aid Office to complete a Federal Work Study Program agreement. Contact us to find out more!
Silver Huskies
Bloomsburg University's "Silver Huskies" initiative aims to engage our region's senior citizen neighbors both on and off campus. The program includes regular senior citizen campus tours that have brought over 100 area senior citizens to Bloomsburg University to better familiarize them with campus and the many resources it offers to residents of Pennsylvania, regardless of student status. Additionally, regular informational workshops include sessions on our 60+ tuition waivers, library resources, campus dining, and special events. Silver Huskies also has a standing advisory committee that meets quarterly to plan engagement opportunities. This program is currently on hold due to COVID-19, but we look forward to welcoming our neighbors back to campus very soon!

Bloomsburg University holds the Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching for demonstrating an institutional commitment to volunteerism and community involvement. Higher education institutions participate voluntarily by showing that civic engagement is evident throughout the institution.
When Bloomsburg University first earned the Classification in 2015, it was one of only 240 U.S. colleges and universities among the over 5,000 such institutions in the United States to have the distinction.
To hold the classification, applicants must demonstrate that civic engagement is integrated in the institutions' missions and woven into the fabric of all aspects of its functions. Details that demonstrate that those things are part of classwork, organization and club activity, athletics, student affairs, and more must be thoroughly documented during the application process.
Also, through the lifespan of the President's Higher Education Honor Roll for Community Service awards, Bloomsburg University was repeatedly recognized as one of the institutions nationally that achieve meaningful, measurable positive community outcomes as they place students on a lifelong path of civic engagement and help solve regional problems.

Album Review: Lee Ann Womack – 'The Lonely, The Lonesome And The Gone'
Leave a comment Posted by Occasional Hope on November 7, 2017
Lee Ann Womack's latest album is something of a departure, leaning in a bluesier direction than previously. This arose largely out of the lyrical theme of the album, adrressing hard times and lost love.
The opening 'All The Trouble' (written by Lee Ann with Adam Wright and Waylon Payne) is a hushed blues with a doomladen air, rising into a wail as she bemoans her life. Lee Ann's vocals are fabulous, but the guitar work is unnecessarily muddy for my taste. It sets the tone for the album as a whole.
The same writing partnership is responsible for a further trio of songs. The sophisticated 60s pop/R&B ballad 'Hollywood' (apart from intrusive backing vocals) is a well written and exquisitely sung song about a troubled marriage which I would have preferred in a more traditional country arrangement. 'Mama Lost her Smile' is a closely observed story song reminiscing about the protagonist's childhood and musing over the lacunae of memory. 'Sunday' is a pure blues tune which doesn't do much for me.
'Wicked', written by Lee Ann with Adam Wright, is a dramatic southern gothic story song, about a mother who turns to murder to protect her child. It's a compelling story, and well sung, but spoiled somewhat by the intrusive production:
You can't blend in down in San Jacinto
With long blonde hair and an orange El Camino
But two things I never thought I'd need to get by
A 38 special and an alibi
Whatever I get I guess I've earned
But I never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it
Oh, wicked is as wicked does
And if this ain't wicked
Well, it's close enough
I thought I was good and maybe I was
But wicked is as wicked does
Somethin' had to happen
Somethin' had to be done
And it turns out I'm pretty good with a gun
It doesn't make it right but it is what it is and
Any mama in the world woulda done what I did
On his own, Adam Wright contributed the charming 'End Of The End Of The World', a pretty lilting waltz about getting back together. The title track is a subdued country ballad featuring steel guitar, gently regretting all that has been lost – a broken heart and changing times. It was written by Adam Wright with Jay Knowles.
Dale Dodson and the great Dean Dillon co-wrote 'Talking Behind Your Back', a lovely conversational song with the protagonist admitting to her lover's ex over an awkward lunch that the man still really loves the other woman. A slightly loungy arrangement is okay but doesn't quite do the song justice. Dodson teamed up with Lee Ann again, together with Dani Flowers, to write 'Someone Else's Heartache', a nicely understated song of apparent resignation to a breakup, with the vulnerable vocal telling a different tale.
Covers of a couple of country classics are thrown in, remade in a soulful style fitting the overall mood of the album. 'Long Black Veil' (with no gender twist to the original lyric) is slow and soulful, with a stripped down arrangement and fragile vocal. 'He Called Me Baby', a Harlan Howard song once recorded by Patsy Cline, gets an intensely sultry jazzy makeover. An obscure George Jones-penned rockabilly gospel song, 'Take The Devil Out Of Me' is retro, vivacious and all too short.
Brent Cobb is a rising singer-songwriter, and Lee Ann is obviously a fan as she has covered two of his songs. 'Shine On Rainy Day' (the title track of Cobb's own recent album) is a dreamy ballad with a messy, dirty sounding production I didn't like at all set against Lee Ann's pure vocals. The mid paced 'Bottom Of The Barrel' is a bit monotonous.
I've never been a big fan of Frank Liddell's production choices, but I have little doubt that this album is exactly what Lee Ann wanted this time. My own feelings are mixed: it is a beautifully realized piece of work from a general artistic point of view, but I really miss the traditional country Lee Ann Womack.

Album Review: Kristy Cox – 'Part Of Me'
Leave a comment Posted by Occasional Hope on April 19, 2016
I loved Australian bluegrass singer Kristy Cox's previous album, so I was keen to hear her latest work, produced, like its predecessor, by songwriter Jerry Salley. She is in great form vocally; last time around I felt she was better on the ballads than the up-tempo material, but now she sparkles on the faster songs too, and is reminiscent at times of Rhonda Vincent.
'Another Weary Mile' opens the album briskly in typical bluegrass style. Written by Michael Rogers, Joshua D Trivett, and Jason Barie, it is one of only two completely outside song, with the remainder coming from the pens of Salley and/or Cox. A vibrant vocal brings the tale of life on the road and the lure of home alive.
Kristy co-wrote four songs. Allen Caswell helped her with 'William Henry Johnson', a mournful murder ballad about 'a hero and a villain' who breaks the protagonist's heart and ends up dead as a result. Caswell collaborated with Kristy and Jerry Salley on 'You Walked In', an upbeat song about the joy of new-found love. Equally sweet is 'Young Love Never Gets Old', a romantic tale of a lifelong love story against all the odds, written by Kristy and Jerry. Kristy and Jerry wrote one more song, the pacy but regretful 'I'm No Stranger To This Lonesome Road'.
'The Part Of Me (That's Still In Love With You)' is a wistful ballad about the emotional power of a memory overshadowing a current relationship, which Salley wrote with Pam Tillis, with a lovely melody.
'Little White Whiskey Lies', written by Salley with Tammy Rogers, picks up the tempo with a bluesy edge. 'Baby, You Ain't Baby Anymore' is a bluegrass burner, written by Salley with Jenee Fleenor, which has Kristy bemoaning a faltering relationship. The brisk 'Your Train Don't Stop Here anymore', written with Dani Flowers, is also solid, while the set closes with an optimistic gospel tune penned by Salley with Sally Barris, 'That's Where The Faith Comes In'.
Finally, there is a lovely cover of Chris Stapleton's moving 'Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore'. Kristy's vocal style is about as different from Stapleton's rough hewn soul as one can imagine, and her version adds sweetness and a gentle regret. Beautiful.
The sparkling playing and immaculate arrangements make the perfect backdrop for Kristy's clear, pure voice. This is an excellent album which I recommend strongly.

Title: Le prime officine di ceramiche figurate nell'Italia Meridionale: l'esempio del Pittore di Brooklyn-Budapest
Authors: Di Donato, Angela
Pontrandolfo, Angela
Mugione, Eliana
Keywords: Officina
Issue Date: 18-Jul-2018
Publisher: Universita degli studi di Salerno
Abstract: The need imposed by new recoveries and recent discoveries in the field of Magna Graecia ceramic leads from many sides to a new reading of old context and to a review of already known material, collected in previous centuries and catalogued by Trendall. Though the importance of the systematization made by the Australian scholar is recognized an ideal starting point for every search on Italiote ceramics, recent critics have emphasized the need for a critical review of his work. Since it cannot be considered as a whole, a critical review must necessarily start from the analysis of small segments that allows gradually to achieve a more comprehensive revision of the whole known production of the West figured vases. The choice of the "Painter of Brooklyn-Budapest" is dictated by the desire to add a contribution to the definition of Metaponto workshops, whose chronological and productive environment is quite clear at present on the basis of the overall study of data coming from the excavations of Kerameikos and Chora. Despite his knowledge of workshops the Amykos, Creusa and Dolon, the painter of Brooklyn-Budapest seems to escape to a well-defined time and place framework. The definition of the atelier proved problematic indeed for Trendall because it was made by the union of two groups, Brooklyn and Budapest, corresponding to two different chronological phases, the first one considered close to the Amykos production, next to the Apulian workshop of Tarporley for some peculiarities, but at the same time also near to the ateliers of Creusa and Dolone . The production of nestorides put towards the end of his career finally lead the scholar to consider the painter as a "wondering craftsman" who would have moved himself to the internal Lucania, specifically between Anzi and Armento, to start a school with many disciples in IV century B.C. As a result of the absence of reliable data from the excavation and of the setting of vases within decontextualized museum collections, it was decided to apply to the Brooklyn-Budapest group examination the typical linguistic method , theorized by Angela Pontrandolfo for her survey of the painted tombs of Paestum and then also experienced by Sebastiano Barresi in his examination of the "Apulian-Lucan" Group Intermediate ceramics and precisely the specimens attributed to the Locri's painter. It has begun to outline for the workshop a chronological horizon that rises the traditional chronology proposed by Trendall (400 B.C. – 360 B.C.) thanks to the study of forms, which, in some case - for example those of the volute kraters or nestorides - seem to refer to particular areas of diffusion, respectively Peucezia and internal Lucania...

Time for a Shot of Blues
Every now and again I like to do that blues thang. I haven't done one of these since May, so, yeah, it's time.
Eric Gales is one of those guitarists where you say to yourself, How come I don't know this guy? Brief bio: 43 years old, from Memphis, Tennessee. He started playing at four (!) and has been recording since 1991. He performed with Carlos Santana at Woodstock '94 and played on a Jimi Hendrix tribute CD. (Not much more I can say about him as his website points to his Wikipedia page for bio.)
Anyway, here's the smokin'-out-of-the gate tune, "Cut and Run" which has some of that "La Grange" vibe:
Here's maybe another new name for ya, Thornetta Davis. Wikipedia says she is "an American Detroit blues and rhythm and blues singer. She has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, and Etta James, and sang backing vocals on Bob Seger's 1991 album, The Fire Inside. She also worked with Kid Rock and Alberta Adams and has released two full-length solo albums."
In 2017, she was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the Best Emerging Artist Album category, for her latest album, Honest Woman. I don't recall exactly where I first heard her, maybe on the Sirius blues channel.
In this song, "I Need a Whole Lot of Loving (To Satisfy Me)" she lays out exactly what she needs from her man:
Hey all you fellows come and gather round
This big-lovin' mama's gonna break it down
It takes a whole lot of man to give me what I need
If you ain't packin' baby just turn around and leave
Whew! Is it hot in here or is it me?
By the time he recorded the album, Go My Way, in 2000, Robin Trower had been playing – in Procol Harum or solo – for the better part of forty years. I've featured Procol Harum here and a live Trower concert here.
I really dig this song, "Long Hard Game." I remember hearing it and thinking, boy the singer sounds like he's on Quaaludes or something. But it kinda works. Then it turned out it was Trower singing. This song has a lazy feel with some scorching guitar and I just wish it went on longer (Alas, no Spotify):
Levi Parham is from McAlester, Oklahoma. I don't know exactly how old he is but he claims to have raided his father's blues collection more than once. As to his influences, in his own words, "I've always been an admirer of the music that's come out of Muscle Shoals, from Aretha Franklin to The Allman Bros.
After visiting a studio there last year while on tour, I got the idea to bring a group of Tulsa musicians, still carrying the torch of the legendary Tulsa Sound, and toss them in that iconic space and setting along the Tennessee River and see what would happen."
What happened is some funky, laid-back blues that sounds like Delaney and Bonnie as much as anybody else. Here's a slinky little tune called "Boxmeer Blues" that reminds me of "She Caught the Katy."
Here's a blurb from Ronnie Baker Brooks' website: He was born in Chicago, and started playing guitar around age six. At 19, he joined his father (Lonnie Brooks), who by then had influenced some of the most well-known bluesman of our history: Jimmy Reed, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Johnny Winter, and Junior Wells. For 12 years the two would tour together, putting Ronnie out front with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Koko Taylor. In 1998, when he was 32, his father told him to go solo.
This tune, "Show Me." is from his album Times Have Changed. Not only does this song feature the legendary Steve Cropper but the album also features Felix Cavaliere and Bobby Blue Bland. This tune has some of that soulful Stax blues feel. Maybe this is Brooks' answer to Thornetta:

I'm always up for a shot of blues, so looking forward to reading and listening when I get a chance!
No. You stop whatever it is you're doing and read and listen right now! 🙂
All of these tunes are cooking! I that dirty guitar sound on the Robin Trower song – reminds me a bit of Buddy Guy. Also like that Ronnie Baker Brooks song and agree it has a great Stax vibe. The Levi Parham tune also grabbed me. I'll be further checking out these guys!
Yeah, it's a smokin' set if I do say so myself! I've been saving some of these babies up for just such an occasion, heard the Brooks tune just the other day.
Smokin hot is right but I esp liked Thornetta Davis. I'm always a sucker for a great horn line.
I suspect rhat Christian and I would concur.
BTW, search my sit e for the word horn and you'll find a fairly recent post on horn-driven bands.
I'll check out these links. Robin Trower is maybe my favorite electric guitarist. He was once on top of the world, and has been toiling in clubs for decades (I saw him four times), but he never loses his passion and heart. Just last week I revisited his first live LP, and it still blows me away.
Love his playing too. You may not like his vocals as much as Dewar's but I found his voice kinda low-key slinky.
I've heard his singing a couple times on other songs, notably "Song For a Dreamer" on Procol's "Broken Barricades" album. Not too good. But much better than Roy Buchanan!
I think a lot of these guys think they're not "real" bluesmen if they don't sing. Plus, frankly, it's just cheaper to go on the road and sing the tunes than hire a singer. As good as Trower is, he's not exactly filling Madison Square Garden. I've seen a lot of bands that travel on shoestring budgets.
Just listened to the song. Age has really seasoned his voice! He sounds SO much better and bluesier than when he was young. (And of course his guitar-playing still crunches.)
Yeah, the whole lazy feel really works on this tune.
As to the album that song comes from, Go My Way, I don't know if it's on par with his classic albums but there's some pretty good stuff on it.
By the way, my wife downloaded "Party of One." She read part of it and said it was "disgusting." Of course, that piqued my interest. I read the first chapter and thought it was great. Very Scorsese "Mean Streets" atmosphere. I like how one gets the impression the main character is a bit confused, angry, mixed-up, but is still a decent sort who's uncomfortable with these Philly heavies. Look forward to reading the rest! (Gotta fly now.)
On the question of whether or not she'll read it, I guess we'll take that as a no. 😂 Happy reading anyway.
No surprises just what you advertised. I really like Trowers guitar sound. The vocals suit it. I always like that last cut and Brooks and Cropper nail it. You sure can hear the distinct guitar styles. Can't go wrong with this stuff.
Next time I want to do some harmonica and/or organ stuff.
The blues is just a smorg of good stuff.

A: this works fine for me. i just copied your code into a snippet and added the style body{min-height: 1000;} to your css. it's working just fine .

$(document).on('scroll', function() {
      var pixelsFromTop = $(document).scrollTop()

      if (pixelsFromTop < 600) {
        $('section').css('background-color', '#fff0f0')
      } else if (pixelsFromTop < 1200) {
        $('section').css('background-color', '#F8D800')
      } else if (pixelsFromTop < 1600) {
        $('section').css('background-color', '#F6FFFF')
      } else {
        $('section').css('background-color', '#cdccc7')
      }

      var documentHeight = $(document).height()
      var windowHeight = $(window).height()
      var difference = documentHeight - windowHeight
      var percentage = 100 * pixelsFromTop / difference

      $('.bar').css('width', percentage + '%')

    })
body{min-height: 1000px;}
      .progress {
        position: fixed;
        top:  0;
        left: 0;
        width: 100%;
      }

      .bar {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        width: 0;
        height: 3px;
        background-color: #7fdbff;
      }

A: HTML already has a progress bar tag:
<progress value="22" max="100"></progress>

this tag has 2 attributes, you should change the "value" attribute from your code.
It's easier to use and control from JQuery or from javascript HTML DOM.

A: You need to have some content in your html so that the script can actually work. because there is nothing to scroll if you don't have any content.
look closely into the js you've added.
  var windowHeight = $(window).height()
  var difference = documentHeight - windowHeight
  var percentage = 100 * pixelsFromTop / difference

  $('.bar').css('width', percentage + '%')

Here you are incrementing/decrementing the percentage of your progress bar. The height of your whole document and the amount you scrolled from top of your document is used here to calculate your progress percentage.

Fowler prioritizes community feeling as new AD
Story by Anthony Rodriguez, Staff Writer
To the average coach, having a good team is the most important thing a sports program can have. However, to East Meck's new athletic director, Jason Fowler, a community feeling is just as important.
The feeling of community at school is a big deal to Fowler. When he first arrived at East 15 years ago in 2004, current principal Rick Parker was the assistant principal at the time, yet still acted as the main component of the school's family atmosphere.
While Fowler still believes that the community feeling at East is one of the best feelings he has felt in all of his years working in public schools, there is something missing.
"I think the community piece isn't as strong as it was when I was here before," Fowler said.
East continues to show it's a welcoming atmosphere as the staff has embraced Fowler's return to the school for the first time since 2010.
"We're glad to have him back," Parker said. "He brings an energy that not many people can bring."
Fowler's first encounter with East was focused in the football program from 2004 to 2010. He previously worked as a position coach for West Charlotte High School and came to East because of an opportunity to become the offensive coordinator for the Eagles.
"Even back in the day he was a fantastic coach," Parker said.
Having a son that is a student at East and a daughter on the same path, returning to East gave Fowler an opportunity to be a bigger part of his children's lives. Fowler also liked the familiarity he had with East.
"I love athletics. I think it's the reason I love coaching. I love directly impacting kids in that form," Fowler said.
Fowler owns a principal's license and an administrative degree but does not plan on becoming a principal just yet. He wants to remain focused on athletics for now, because that is what he enjoys the most. Fowler also believes that working in a variety of positions] including the dean of students and athletic director will better prepare him for his possible future of becoming a principal.
"If I'm going to use it right now, let me use it as athletic director and be the principal or administrator over the athletic program," Fowler said.
Fowler has brought themed nights to nearly every sporting event held on campus in order to bring back the community feeling that he admires. Some of the themes of these nights include Hawaiian, military and cancer awareness along with East pride.
"We're going to honor our military. Everybody with a valid military ID is going to get in free," Fowler said. "Another night we're going to have is a night to fight cancer, so just really involving not only the community but the students, and try to get some excitement back at East about our athletic program. I think they will be the two biggest things."

Moody's upgrade, restructured debt saves taxpayers $458,000
An upgrade in the district's financial rating will mean that taxpayers will save $56,000 on top of more than $400,000 that had been anticipated through restructuring of $3.7 million in debt.
At a previous meeting, the School Board authorized administrators to refinance remaining debt incurred for facility projects in 2003. Financial advisors estimated in August that the district would be able drop its interest rate that ranged from 3.5 to 4.5 percent to a more favorable 2.25 percent. As part of the restructuring process, Moody's Investors Service reviewed the district's financial operations and upgraded its rating from Aa2 to Aa1. The upgraded rating resulted in the district being able to sell general obligations bonds for 1.73 percent – saving more than a half a percent from what had been anticipated.
Total savings from the restructured debt plan and lower interest rate due to the upgraded Moody's rating is $458,000. In addition, the restructured plan will retire the district's debt one year early and even out payments over the remaining decade.
Business services assistant superintendent recognized
For the role he played in helping the district achieve such a strong financial rating, School Board members recognized Business Services Assistant Superintendent Bryan Ruud. Superintendent Kathleen Cooke, Ph.D., credited Ruud for helping the district keep costs down , including lowering energy, healthcare, debt and workers' compensation expenses.
Federal funds available to district
In other financial matters, the School Board learned that the district will receive $1.3 million in federal funding as part of the U.S. Department of Education's Jobs Fund. Wisconsin's share of the federal funding is $179 million.
Administrators will present a plan to the School Board recommending how the funds could be used after clarifying with the state officials implications of the funding. Cooke reported that initially school districts were told that the state Department of Public Instruction would administer the funding, but later that was changed to the Department of Revenue. Because the funding will be distributed through the state's equalization aid formula, the district stands to lose 30 cents of state aid for each federal dollar it receives.
Possible ways to mitigate loss of state aid would be to spread out use of the funds over three years and underspend the budget. The funds must be used for salaries, benefits and support services of school-level employees including teachers, principals, counselors, custodians and nurses. They may not be used for district-level employees or contracted employees.
High school sees strong achievement
After years of concentrating on a goal of higher-level thinking for students, Hamilton High School created a new goal that states "Students will apply 21st century learning to maximize their potential in the global community." Principal Candis Mongan provided School Board members with an overview of work that has occurred and the promising results that have been attained at the school, including support measures for students and staff development.
Results of the school's focus are seen in the school's Advanced Placement (AP) and ACT scores. For the first time ever, Hamilton achieved above a 1.0 rating on the AP Challenge Index. Its score was 1.18 based on 366 AP exams taken by the 309 students in the class of 2010.
Hamilton AP and ACT scores are at all-time highs. AP results from 2006 to 2010 went from 108 to 366 exams taken, nine to 28 sections offered and 79.6 to 89.9 percent passed. In that same time period, ACT achievement shows that the average composite score went from 23.1 to 24.1 and the number of students taking the exam increased from 171 to 229.
School Board members expressed appreciation to Mongan and the high school staff for the outstanding progress that the school is making.
Summer Opportunities reports success
School Board members also complimented Summer Opportunities Director and Lannon Elementary School Principal Dick Ladd for overseeing an excellent summer school program.
Ladd reported that the program increased the number of student participants, improved academic support, incorporated new "Transition to First Grade" curriculum, trained "Soar to Reading Success" teachers in Readers' Workshop strategies and "Making Sense of Math" teachers in Everyday Math strategies and secured three police officer to help ensure safe traffic flow before and after school.
Ladd recommended that next year's program run from June 20 to July 15 with a day off for the July 4 holiday. He said the district is contracting an outside consultant to help load test online registration which has presented difficulties in the past two years.
Ladd recognized the office staff members, coordinators and teaching staff who provided services to nearly 2,000 students who participated in the four-week program.
Mitchell honored for quick action
Hamilton guidance counselor Patricia Mitchell was recognized for demonstrating quick action and concern for a fellow employee that may have saved his life. When high school custodian Mike Oswald was choking on a piece of food in the employee lunch room, Mitchell performed the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the food from his throat. Oswald, who was at the meeting to recognize Mitchell, called her his "angel" for coming to his aid.
In personnel news, the School Board:
learned that the district's unofficial student count for the 2010-11 school year is 4,555, which is a 52-student increase over last year;
appointed Jennifer Callan as a part-time Templeton Title I paraprofessional, and Lisa Dardich as a Maple paraprofessional.

Call it a climate crisis. Emergency. Breakdown.
That's what the Guardian now recommends in its updated style guide, with an announcement on Friday that those terms are now preferred to 'climate change,' a term its editor deemed too "passive and gentle" for the reality of the issue.
The announcement spurred a flurry of responses online and opened up a greater dialogue about how the media talks about climate change.
While the Guardian hasn't given terms like "climate change" or "global warming" an outright ban ("global heating" is now the preferred term), editor-in-chief Katharine Viner has advised her staff to think twice before using those words.
"We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise, while also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue," Viner told environment editor Damian Carrington. "The phrase 'climate change,' for example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a catastrophe for humanity."

The Guardian's editor has just issued this new guidance to all staff on language to use when writing about climate change and the environment... pic.twitter.com/yylPXJzdbc
— Leo Hickman (@LeoHickman) May 17, 2019
The catastrophe she's talking about includes the possibility of:
One million animals and plants going extinct in the near future, according to a UN wildlife report
Severe drought, dangerous heatwaves and more destructive wildfires, according to a report by the federal government
Mass migration and American climate refugees
Skeptics vs. deniers vs. doubters
In general, the USA TODAY Network follows the Associated Press Stylebook. The style guide advises terms "global warming" and "climate change" can be used interchangeably, but climate change has more scientific accuracy.
AP also recommends avoiding the terms "skeptics" or "deniers" when describing people who dispute or don't accept climate science. The guide instead recommends using "climate change doubters" or "those who reject mainstream science."
The Guardian's announcement said it would now use the term "climate science denier."
Dave White, sustainability scientist at Arizona State University, said he supports the decision to strengthen and clarify language so when journalists explain complex processes to the public, it is not only accurate, but relevant to people's personal experiences.
He agreed with most of the Guardian's updated terms.
"For instance, the recommendation to avoid 'climate skeptic' is a very effective change," White said. "'Climate science denier' is a more descriptive, accurate title for those expressing opinions that are presented oftentimes as differences of fact, when really they're misinterpretation or intentional ignorance of climate science."
He also agreed that it would not be journalistically ethical or accurate anymore to give equal treatment to deniers by including them in a debate.
White disagrees with discouraging the use of "climate change."
"Climate change is a specific, earth science phenomenon," White said. "I believe you can still talk about it as a process and still convey urgency by using words like crisis that convey the importance and impact of those changes."
More than the language
For 16-year-old Aditi Narayanan, an effective way to talk about the impact of climate change requires more than just the words people use. It's about localizing the problem and giving people solutions, she said.
Aditi, a junior at BASIS Phoenix High School, was one of the principal organizers of the Arizona Youth Climate Strike. On March 15, hundreds of demonstrators rallied at the state Capitol to demand action on climate change.
"A lot of people blame the public for not being conscious," Aditi said. "But a lot of people just don't know, don't know how (climate change) affects their community, their own lives, their families and generations to come. They think it's just a glacier melting in the North Pole."
How Arizona politicians avoid talking about climate change altogether

As President Donald Trump continues to reject climate science, leading up to the 2018 midterm election, the Republic noted climate change hardly came up in political campaigns. This was despite a poll showing climate change was a concern for the majority of Arizonans.
The Republic also sent 16 candidates three questions about climate change, water management and rising temperatures. None of the Republican candidates mentioned the role humans play in causing global warming, despite scientific consensus saying there's a 99.9999% chance humans are driving global warming.
Sen. Martha McSally gave a minor concession in saying "there is likely a human element to it."
Gov. Doug Ducey agreed climate is changing, but stopped short of putting the blame on humans. Even later, when discussing the Drought Contingency Plan, Ducey used the phrase "drier future," but avoided making the link between climate change and drought in the Southwest.

The lack of urgency concerns Brad Voracek, a computer science teacher in Phoenix Union High School District. Voracek also coordinates the Phoenix chapter of the Sunrise Movement. The national, youth-led organization advocates for the Green New Deal.
"I think that trying to communicate the urgency of everything is really important," Voracek said. "Language is how we communicate everything. Sometimes it's hard for people to understand science. Everyday language is what people use, so conveying the urgency is really important."

— Elizabeth Weise (@eweise) May 6, 2019
Voracek said that other than Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego being "huge on sustainability," he hadn't heard much from other state and local leaders about climate policy. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema sent the Sunrise Movement her stance on the Green New Deal, saying she did not support the resolution but favored incremental steps, Voracek said.
"Her response shows she doesn't take the urgency seriously," he added.
Despite this, Voracek said he looked forward to hearing what leaders have to say about climate action.
There also seems to be a positive trend coming from those advocating for policy response, White said. People have shifted toward talking about climate impacts as something happening now rather than as a future threat, he noticed.
"That language is reflecting our better, improved understanding of climate," White said. "We are now able to link drought, wildfire and flood risk more directly to climate change."
With more pragmatic politics and the right weather, Arizona may the best place to tackle tough issues like climate change, Grady Gammage, Jr. says. Arizona Republic

CiRA researchers discover a biomarker that identifies cells with the capacity to nearly exclusively produce cardiomyocytes.
If heart attacks fail to kill their victim, they do succeed at killing heart cells, leaving a weaker heart more prone to failure in the future. Cell therapies can remedy damaged hearts by transplanting into them cardiovascular progenitor cells (CPCs) that replace the lost cells. Successful therapies depend on the CPCs differentiating into cardiomyocytes, but to date known the efficiency of the differentiation has been substandard for wide treatment. CiRA researchers in the Jun K. Yamashita laboratory have used iPS cells to find a type of CPC that when transplanted into mice almost exclusively produced cardiomyocytes, giving these cells great promise for future heart cell therapies.
"CPCs have been characterized by the expression of several transcription factors and surface markers. However, they differentiate to cardiomyocytes and other cell types," said Masafumi Takeda.
These other cells include endothelial cells, pericytes and mesenchymal cells , all of which are essential for the heart and vasculature, but not suitable for replacing the lost cardiomyocytes.
"For cell therapies, we want CPCs that differentiate to cardiomyocytes at 100%," he continued.
Takeda considered whether within CPCs there exists a specific subset that exclusively differentiates into cardiomyocytes. Subsets of progenitors that exclusively differentiate into one specific cell type are known in other systems like blood.
CPCs themselves rarely exist in the adult body but can easily be acquired from stem cells like iPS cells. By differentiating iPS cells and following protein expression patterns, Takeda found the differentiation potential of CPCs could be distinguished by the expression of CD82. He transplanted CD82+ CPCs, which he called cardiomyocyte-fated progenitors, into the hearts of live mice and found that almost all differentiated into cardiomyocytes.
"We found the differentiation efficiency was consistently over 95%. I do not know of any other progenitor that differentiates into cardiomyocytes at such a high rate," said Takeda.
CD82 is a glycoprotein that was first identified to have a suppressive role in prostate cancer. Since then, it has been found to have function in cell adhesion and cell motility. It also regulates exosomes, which led Takeda to the molecular mechanism through which CD82 enhances cardiomyocyte commitment.
"CD82 contributes to the inhibition of Wnt signaling through exosome activity. It is known that in normal heart development, Wnt inhibition is crucial for cardiomyocyte commitment," he said.
To prove this point, forcing the overexpression of CD82 in CPCs resulted in much higher rates of cardiomyocyte differentiation than normal CPCs.
Takeda says the finding of CD82 has important implications not only for heart therapies but also heart development.
"The high differentiation efficiency is exciting for cell therapies, because it means we can produce a pure population of cardiomyocytes. It also means we can study heart development more accurately."
