The Higher Education Core Curriculum Transfer Act has passed the Missouri legislature. It aims to make it easier for community college students to transfer credits to public universities. KMOX's Stuart McMillian spoke with, Dr. Dena McCaffrey, the President of Jefferson College in Hillsboro.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! This month is a reminder that we all have mental health. It's how we think, feel, connect with others, and handle stress.  Taking care of our mental health is just as important as maintaining our physical health. Doing things like getting enough sleep, eating balanced meals, spending time outside, and doing fun activities as a family are all ways to tend to our mental health. In HSD we encourage students, staff and families to:Learn more about mental health and protective factors.  Speak respectfully and inclusively about mental health.  Seek help if they are struggling with their mental health and encourage others to do the same.  Create safe and supportive environments for open conversations about mental health. Visit our website for some ideas and resources your family can explore. Together, let's prioritize mental health awareness and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to prioritize their well-being.Our featured event is our 10th Annual Proud to be HSD Festival, which was held on Saturday, May 10 in downtown Hillsboro. As always, it was an incredible and inspiring event filled with demonstrations and performances by our knowledgeable and talented students. You could feel the excitement in the air as you walked through the bustling market and experienced the performance stages, Career and College Pathways area, STEAM and Robotics tents, teen entrepreneurs, kids activities area, and much more. The culminating event was the return of our Mascot Challenge! Led by an electrifying drumline, all mascots present at the time were paraded from our main stage on the Courthouse lawn over to our second stage on the Civic Center Plaza. After three rounds of competition, celebrity judges Barley, Mayor Pace, Board Chair Ivette Pantoja, and Board Vice Chair Mark Watson crowned one of them the winner - you'll have to check out our website to see who! Many thanks to everyone who had a hand in making the Festival happen, and to all of the students, staff, family and community members who participated! In HSD, we are committed to creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environments for every student. When those values are not upheld, we must speak up, interrupt, and support one another. Therefore, we are launching a campaign specific to ending the use of hateful language called #Notatmyschool.

¡Mayo es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental! Este mes nos recuerda que todos tenemos salud mental, la cual se refiere a la manera en que pensamos, sentimos, nos conectamos con los demás y manejamos el estrés. Cuidar nuestra salud mental es tan importante como mantener nuestra salud física. Cultivar hábitos como dormir lo suficiente, comer de manera equilibrada, pasar tiempo al aire libre y realizar actividades divertidas en familia son formas de cuidar nuestra salud mental.En HSD invitamos a los estudiantes, los miembros del personal y las familias a:Aprender más sobre la salud mental y los factores de protección.  Hablar de forma respetuosa e inclusiva sobre la salud mental.  Buscar ayuda si está teniendo dificultades con su salud mental y animar a otros a hacer lo mismo.  Crear entornos seguros y de apoyo para mantener conversaciones abiertas sobre la salud mental. Visite nuestro sitio web para obtener algunas ideas y recursos para su familia. Juntos, impulsemos la concientización sobre la salud mental y fomentemos un ambiente de apoyo en donde todos se sientan valorados y empoderados para priorizar su bienestar.Nuestro evento destacado es el décimo Festival Anual Orgullosos de ser HSD, que se llevó a cabo el sábado, 10 de mayo en el Centro de Hillsboro. Como siempre, fue un evento increíble e inspirador lleno de demostraciones y actuaciones de nuestros talentosos y experimentados estudiantes. Se podía sentir la emoción en el aire al caminar por el bullicioso mercado y observar las presentaciones en los escenarios, el área asignada al programa Caminos a la Profesión y a la Universidad, las carpas de STEAM y robótica, los jóvenes emprendedores, el área de actividades para niños y mucho más. ¡El evento culminante fue el regreso de nuestro Desafío de Mascotas! Liderados por una electrizante banda de percusión, todas las mascotas presentes en ese momento desfilaron desde nuestro escenario principal en el césped del Palacio de Justicia hasta nuestro segundo escenario en la Plaza del Centro Cívico. Después de tres rondas de competencia, los famosos jueces: Barley, la alcaldesa Pace, la presidenta y el vicepresidente de la Mesa Directiva, Ivette Pantoja y Mark Watson, respectivamente ¡coronaron a la mascota de la Escuela Preparatoria Century «Mick Jagger» como el ganador! ¡Muchas gracias a todos los que colaboraron en la realización del festival y a todos los estudiantes, miembros del personal, familias y comunidad que participaron!  En HSD, estamos comprometidos en crear entornos de aprendizaje seguros, acogedores e inclusivos para cada estudiante.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Saturday, April 26, 2025  In Renick, The Mountain Table is more than a restaurant--it's a gathering spot where cultures convene…from scenic train rides to zipline aerial adventures, kid-friendly vacations abound in Almost Heaven…and WVU Health Systems announces a major investment in seven WVU Medicine hospitals across the state…on today's daily304.   #1 – From TASTE WV –  Tuesday nights are magical in the small community of Renick in northern Greenbrier County. It is then that friends and neighbors gather at The Mountain Table to eat food inspired by different cultures, drink locally crafted beers, wine and spirits, and perhaps play a game or enjoy live music. The Mountain Table is the brainchild of Alexander Durand and his partner Nadine Sonneville. What began solely as a coffee roastery has evolved into an oasis in the food desert between Lewisburg and Hillsboro that features not only the Tuesday dinners, but also breakfast three mornings a week. Looking ahead, Durand says they want to further increase coffee sales. That business increased 50 percent from 2023 to 2024 and they now feel ready to expand to a larger grocery store chain or all Food Lions.  “We would like to be open more days and maybe add wood fired pizzas or subs,” he says.  Read more: https://tastewv.com/cultures-convene-at-the-mountain-table/   #2 – From WV TOURISM – Planning a family getaway in West Virginia is simple, thanks to its breadth of unique adventures and local experts. With many destinations within a day's drive for over two-thirds of the US population, a road trip to Almost Heaven won't drive the kids crazy in the backseat. Whether your family is looking for a self-paced relaxation or a fun-filled tour, you'll be eager to try all these getaway ideas in West Virginia, from scenic train rides to adventure lakes, zipline aerial tours and more. Head over to wvtourism.com to start planning your Almost Heaven family getaway today!

While the projects are all subject to regulatory approval, WVU Health Systems President and CEO Dr. Albert Wright said the health systems' board of directors approved them all during a recent meeting. WVU Health Systems will be splitting the investment across a number of projects throughout the state in areas including pediatrics, surgery and cancer treatment. Between these projects and a $400 million investment made by WVU Health Systems in 2024, the network has committed nearly $1 billion to improving its West Virginia hospitals.

The Rich Dickman Show Episode 297 - Tornado Drill Position with hosts Rem, Cody, Ray, and Randy Opening Banter Recap: The episode begins with the hosts returning, with Rem noting that they are "back at it". Rem explains that he finally figured out a camera or account issue from a couple of years ago, realizing his wife had created a new account that bypassed security, making the old one look like a fresh reinstall. He wiped the new account, reverted to the old one, and his stuff, including old backgrounds from about two years ago, reappeared. This brought back some "blast from the past" backgrounds. They confirm the episode number is 297, correcting Randy who thought it was 296. Randy is asked to create a Brady Bunch screen using illustrations or real photos, including one of Ray. Ray mentions he can text a picture he took in front of a gas pump where the average price was $5.90 a gallon, which prompts comments on high gas prices (Rem filled up for $2.79 and was annoyed, Ray was around $2.93) and the general expense of things where Ray is located. Ray then mentions his recent weight loss. Randy asks what Ray's weight was last week, and Ray gives a number (396.8). Cody and Ray guess Ray's current weight before Ray reveals it is 393.4. Cody wins the guess. Ray clarifies he started at 436 pounds, tracking it in the show notes, indicating a loss of 21.8 pounds just on the show. This prompts praise from the others, calling it "good" and "a month's worth of work". Ray mentions building a fence so his dogs can go out without needing to be walked. They briefly discuss protecting wells from zombies like in The Walking Dead. Ohio is described as "weird" and Ray's backyard video is mentioned as everything imagined for Ohio – flat, surprisingly lacking trees initially, although Ray clarifies he has trees, and his side yard is 65 feet long by 25 feet wide with a zipline. Cody mentions his acre is half dead grass, ants, and dirt. Ray notes that living on a hill sucks. Rem talks about growing up on three acres and how fun it was as a kid, not needing to be manicured. Rem mentions dealing with his "little one" digging holes and making mud for monster trucks in his yard and getting annoyed by ants. Cody mentions chilling post-Easter with leftovers and discount candy, referring to the period as the "holy refraction". There's discussion about the Pope dying, mentioning it happened on 4/20 or 4/21, his age (88), and nationality (Argentina). They list the last four Popes they've lived through: John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict, and Pope Francis. Ray questions why anyone not Catholic would care who the Pope is. Rem argues everyone should care who the "Holy Father" is. They discuss Catholic practices like infallibility, celibacy, and the public recognition of the Pope compared to leaders of other religions. Cody recounts being asked to be godparents for his brother-in-law's child and being told they had to be married in a Catholic church, highlighting what he sees as Catholicism focusing on the "wrong things" and being too "ceremonial" rather than practical. Rem agrees it's all ceremony. Despite critiques of the ceremony, they acknowledge that if Catholics believe Christ died and was resurrected, they can still get to heaven, and that religion in general, like the Ten Commandments, provides a good way of living. The "best atheist on the show" (Rem) states that the lack of religion in society is a big problem because people need it. They critique the commandment "Shall not take the Lord's name in vain," arguing the Constitution supersedes the Ten Commandments. They discuss Cody's religious background in Alabama, describing it as "white people Baptist type stuff". Cody mentions being baptized "like 30 times" by different denominations. He ranks his top three baptism experiences: Nazarene (clinical) is number three, Episcopalian (female officiant) is number two, and Baptist (party, dunked in a creek, held under) is number one. They discuss sourdough starter and Ray's wife's breast milk used for practical purposes like treating pink eye. Ray describes his first experience with a bidet in a fancy restaurant restroom, being scared by the air dry function. They argue about the necessity of bidets vs. manual cleaning in the shower. Rem's Steve's Lava Chicken t-shirt design being rejected by Amazon merch is mentioned. They mention starting a band called Bubblegut and the Poops. The podcast is noted for surpassing the episode count of wrestling shows Dynamite and Nitro. We did the following segments: Thinking with your Dickman This segment features the hosts answering listener questions. Question 1 (from Joanna, treated as John/Joe): "Do I poop too much? I use the restroom an average of three times a day. My boyfriend says a woman shall need to poop once per day, but I'm not convinced. Is there any science to back up this claim? Are there any methods or devices you would recommend to measure my poop volume?". Cody, who has IBS and is a "two time a day type of pooper," validates that pooping multiple times a day is possible. Ray notes his toilet time is typically at least 30 minutes. They recommend getting a bidet for cleanliness, especially with frequent use, but caution against high water pressure to avoid hemorrhoids. They also recommend a seat cushion (like a donut) for long drives. Question 2 (from James, a recently retired actor): "I am a recently retired actor looking for things to do. I am famously starred in a long time running television show... I would like to find some activities that would allow some privacy... suggest some in Denvers.". Cody suggests mini golf and bumper boats as fun activities that might be less conducive to mobs. Rem suggests creating a profile on Fet Life and attending meetups, arguing that people in that lifestyle community are likely to keep secrets to protect themselves. Ray jokingly suggests starting an island. Question 3 (anonymous): "I hate chunky spaghetti sauce. Can you please tell me the best red sauce for pasta that isn't lumpy? Preferably, this advice would come from a true Italian.". Ray, claiming to be the most Italian, suggests Tutori tomato sauce, particularly the canned version, describing it as just sauce, not lumpy. He notes that while it's good as is for the "American people," you can spice it up with garlic, onions, and oregano. Rem talks about making sauce from scratch but acknowledges it's hard to beat store-bought like Prego or Ragu. Cody shares a story of making meatballs and sauce for multiple families using Target brand sauce and pasta, adding baked Italian spicy sausage and basil, and being asked for his "recipe" later. They joke that Americans are easy to please with Italian food. Question 4 (from John): "I want to play hookie from school for a day and need a legitimate excuse. Do you have any ways of getting out of school, but in a way that I can't get caught?". Suggestions include hacking the school's mainframe and changing attendance, getting a contagious illness like mono or pink eye (noting pink eye isn't that bad and a remote doctor's note is easy to get now). An interesting suggestion from Cody is to use microwave beeps to fake an EKG sound during a call. Another suggestion is to get surgery, like for a lazy eye, which could provide extended time off. Cody Reads Copy about Verilife Dispensary in Hillsboro, OH: Cody reads a descriptive piece about a dispensary called Verilife in Hillsboro, Ohio, located between cornfields and Dairy Queens. The copy highlights the "chill energy" and "tactical command" of an employee named Emily, who handles a chaos-inducing attempted robbery ("Tiger King's backup dancer" trying to "jack the stash") by leading the staff in a defensive maneuver before calmly ringing up the customer. The copy concludes that at Verilife, you get "weed," a "story," a "community," and "Emily," and encourages listeners to visit and mention Randy. Dick of the Week: Four nominees are presented for the "Dick of the Week" title. Nominee 1: A 31-year-old woman arrested in Floren Park, New Jersey on April 6, 2025, for DUI and refusing a breath test after driving the wrong way on a turnpike and other roads during a rainstorm. Dash cam footage showed erratic driving, running safety zones and a red light. She showed signs of intoxication, failed field sobriety tests, and had a concealed alcoholic beverage. She faces multiple charges including DUI refusal, reckless driving, careless driving, and lane violations. Nominee 2: A 47-year-old former Hillsboro County, Florida Sheriff's Office deputy and current county schools employee, Brandon Scott Parker, charged after a road rage incident on April 6, 2025, where he allegedly threw a bottle at a driver who honked at him, causing injury (contusion and abrasion). He was charged with the felony of throwing a deadly missile into an occupied conveyance. Nominee 3: A motorcyclist with a passenger involved in a road rage incident in El Cajon, California on April 7, 2025, who fired a gun at a truck. The truck driver was unharmed but found a bullet hole. The suspects fled on the motorcycle, which was found to be stolen, and were later found hiding in a drainage tunnel. Nominee 4: A 24-year-old man from Wisconsin who stole a bag of food from the kitchen of a McDonald's in Elmhurst, Illinois on April 7, 2025, and resisted arrest. Voting results in a tie between the Wrongway DUI driver (Nominee 1), supported by Randy and Rem for violating fundamental societal rules, and the Road rage bottle thrower (Nominee 2), with Cody voting against it specifically because the person was a former cop. Given the tie and the mention of Hillsboro in two different stories (Ohio and Florida), they declare the "Dick of the Week" is the "simulation". Dickman Dilemma: Three hypothetical dilemmas are discussed. Dilemma 1 (from Senson): Choose between having sex with a woman you find ugly once a week for $5,000 a week, or having the hottest woman you can think of peg you for $6,000 a week. Cody chooses the $5,000 option, reasoning he can turn the lights off and find enjoyment. Ray and Rem both choose the $6,000 option, seemingly unbothered by the act of pegging and appreciating the extra money. Dilemma 2: Hire a zombie chef who cooks Michelin star meals, but there's a 0.5% chance he eats your brains for each dish. Do you hire him?. Cody and Rem immediately decline, citing the disgusting nature of zombies and the unacceptable risk of death for a meal, regardless of quality. Ray compares the odds to other risky activities, noting he wouldn't risk his life for a meal but might for a large sum of money, and discusses the illusion of control people feel in everyday risks like driving. Dilemma 3: You get 2 million for a tattoo that forces you to blurt out the truth 10 minutes daily. Do you ink it?. The discussion centers on whether the 10 minutes are predictable and if the person can control what truths are revealed. Rem and Cody both agree they would take the tattoo for $2 million, particularly if the truth-telling was controllable or if it was like the movie Liar Liar, or simply because they believe in honesty and feel they don't have secrets bad enough to lose $2 million over. They consider doing it after retiring or getting divorced to minimize potential negative consequences. What Would Jesus Draw - Jesus at Wrestlemania 41 - Winner Ray: The hosts generate AI images based on the theme "Jesus Christ at Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas". Randy's prompt: Jesus Christ of Nazareth fighting the old Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match on top of the cage. Cody's prompt: Jesus Christ of Nazareth powerbomb Mussolini through the Spanish broadcast desk. Rem's prompt: Jesus Christ of Nazareth hosting Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas, yelling at a hostile crowd of internet nerds telling them they're ruining the show with a dialogue bubble saying "You're ruining wrestling for everybody". Ray's prompt: Jesus Christ of Nazareth at Wrestlemania being submitted by Bret Hart's sharpshooter. Ray clarifies the spelling of Hart and that sharpshooter is a submission hold. During judging, Ray's prompt generated an image of Jesus Christ versus Bret Hart (spelled correctly by the AI), showing Jesus in agony, in robes, with the crown of thorns, being put into a submission hold (though not an exact sharpshooter). This image was seen as capturing the spirit and specific details of the prompt very well. Cody's image showed Jesus powerbombing someone who looked like "young Mussolini". Randy's image showed Jesus fighting someone resembling the Undertaker but missing key prompt elements like being on top of the cage. Rem's image showed Jesus yelling at nerds with bad hands and text issues. Ray's image of Jesus vs. Bret Hart was chosen as the winner, with Ray crediting the use of ChatGPT. The episode concludes with hosts mentioning making the Jesus art available on their website, whatwouldjesusdraw.com, plugging their social media and projects, and thanking their listeners.

Most of the land was privately owned by coal companies, however, and as ridership increased during the pandemic, they began gating off the property. Ingraham and Larch then decided to go the legal route to ensure that ATVers had a place to ride, and that's how the idea of Appalachian Outlaw Trails began. Through AOT, the two men hope to preserve trail access sustainably and boost the economy of the Upper Kanawha Valley through tourism. The first phase, slated to open in 2026, will have 50 to 75 miles of trails, a welcome center, a 10-mile racecourse for events and campsites for primitive and RV camping.

Mayo es el mes de la Herencia Asiática-Estadounidense, Nativos de Hawái y de las Islas del Pacífico, el cual está dedicado a celebrar los logros y las contribuciones de los asiáticos, nativos de Hawái y los isleños del Pacífico de los Estados Unidos. Esta conmemoración, que se originó después de la acción del Congreso de EE. UU. en 1997, sirve para resaltar la magnitud de las comunidades asiáticas, nativas hawaianas e isleñas del Pacífico, la cual abarca más de 30 países donde se hablan más de 100 idiomas diferentes y donde las experiencias son igualmente variadas. Durante el mes de mayo e integrado al currículo durante todo el año escolar, celebramos a esta comunidad intencionalmente y honramos sus dones, culturas, historias diversas y contribuciones continuas al Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro y nuestra nación. En nuestras escuelas y salones de clase, dedicamos tiempo a explorar la valiosa historia y cultura de las personas pertenecientes a esta comunidad. Seguimos impartiendo instrucción, aprendiendo y desaprendiendo, reflexionando e incluso condenando la violencia y el odio que se ha dirigido hacia ellos. Trabajamos para reconstruir nuestras comunidades en los salones de clase a medida que elevamos las historias, las contribuciones y las experiencias de estas comunidades con aprecio, empatía e inclusión.Gracias a nuestros estudiantes, personal, familias y miembros de la comunidad asiático-estadounidenses, nativos de Hawái e isleños del Pacífico del Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro que continúan uniéndose a nosotros en los esfuerzos para construir y mantener una cultura de pertenencia. Los admiramos y estamos increíblemente agradecidos por sus talentos, abogacía y brillantez.¡Nuestros estudiantes destacados son los miembros del primer Club de Deportes Electrónicos de Rocket League de Hilhi! Rocket League es un videojuego de deportes en línea en el que equipos de todo Estados Unidos compiten por puntos y premios. El sábado, 12 de abril, compitieron en el Bruin Rocket League Invitational celebrado en George Fox University. El torneo contó con cuatro equipos importantes: Ridgefield, North Eugene, Wilsonville y nuestros propios Spartans. Con Wilsonville y Hilhi ampliamente considerados como los dos mejores equipos del estado, el escenario estaba listo para un enfrentamiento intenso. La competencia comenzó con una fase de grupos (el mejor de tres), donde los Spartans obtuvieron el segundo puesto clasificatorio de cara a la fase eliminatoria, perdiendo solo un partido con un marcador de 1-2 en un ajustado encuentro ante Wilsonville. En la fase eliminatoria, los Spartans comenzaron con fuerza, superando fácilmente las semifinales para ganar una revancha muy esperada contra Wilsonville en la final. Esta vez, Hilhi llegó preparado. Los Spartans marcaron la pauta desde el inicio, ganando el primer partido y nunca miraron atrás. Con un trabajo en equipo dominante, una comunicación clara y jugadas clave, Hilhi derrotó a Wilsonville 4-0 en una serie del mejor de siete para reclamar el título del campeonato. Esta victoria consolida a los Hillsboro Spartans oficialmente como el equipo número uno de Rocket League de las escuelas preparatorias del estado. ¡Felicitaciones y así se hace, equipo Spartans de deportes electrónicos! ¡Nos hacen sentir Orgullosos de Ser HSD!La publicación de Noticias de la Semana se elabora y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y a los miembros del personal de HSD cada semana durante el año escolar.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders of the United States. Originating after U.S. Congress action in 1997, this commemoration serves to highlight the vastness of the Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, which spans more than 30 countries where over 100 different languages are spoken, and where the experiences are equally as varied. During the month of May and integrated into the curriculum throughout the school year, we celebrate our AANHPI community intentionally and honor their gifts, cultures, diverse histories, and continued contributions to the Hillsboro School District and our nation. In our schools and classrooms, we take time to explore the rich history and culture of people who are AANHPI. We continue to teach, learn and unlearn, reflect on and even condemn the violence and hatred that has been directed at the AANHPI community. We work to rebuild our classroom communities as we elevate the stories, contributions, and experiences of the AANHPI communities with love, empathy, and inclusivity. Thank you to our Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Hillsboro School District students, staff, families, and community members who continue to join us in the efforts to build and sustain a culture of belonging. We admire you and we're incredibly thankful for your talents, advocacy, and brilliance. Our featured students are members of Hilhi's first-ever Rocket League Esports Club! Rocket League is an online sport-based video game in which teams compete against others all across the U.S. for points and prizes. On Saturday, April 12, they competed in the Bruin Rocket League Invitational hosted at George Fox University. The tournament featured four top teams: Ridgefield, North Eugene, Wilsonville, and our very own Spartans. With Wilsonville and Hilhi widely regarded as the two best teams in the state, the stage was set for an intense showdown. The competition began with a group stage (best-of-three format), where the Spartans earned the #2 seed heading into bracket play, dropping only one match in a close 1-2 loss to Wilsonville. In bracket play, the Spartans came out strong, cruising through the semifinals to earn a highly anticipated rematch with Wilsonville in the finals. This time, Hilhi came prepared. The Spartans set the tone early, winning the first match—and they never looked back. With dominant teamwork, sharp communication, and clutch plays, Hilhi swept Wilsonville 4-0 in a best-of-seven series to claim the championship title. This win solidifies that the Hillsboro Spartans are officially the #1 High School Rocket League team in the state. Congratulations and way to go, Spartan Esports team!

April is Earth Month, and what a perfect time to celebrate as the onset of spring brings the first glimpse of nature's fresh vibrancy! While every day could technically be considered Earth Day, April 22 bears the official moniker and is a call to action. With a theme of “Our Power, Our Planet,” each of us is encouraged to determine what this means to us and how we will put our ideas into action. The possibilities are endless and each action toward environmental stewardship makes a difference. HSD embraces and demonstrates conservation practices throughout the year. In the month of April, the days get longer, the grass is greener, and temperatures are more moderate. Earth Month is a perfect time for buildings to take advantage of these conditions to conserve natural resources through efforts like water management, daylight harvesting, and bringing outside air into buildings. This year, HSD is also running a Resource Conservation Challenge that is open to all teachers and administrators, which encourages conservation while at school, work, home, or traveling. Students - ask your teachers about this challenge! For those who are motivated by gamification, try the Earth Month BINGO card! This activity is designed to bring awareness and prompts for more sustainable practices. Print it out and post it on a refrigerator or classroom bulletin board for full family and/or classroom participation, or take the conservation one step further and keep it handy on a phone or computer. The topics listed on the card are simply a guide. The most effective actions - and the ones you're likely to stick with - come from topics that interest you. Have fun!For more ideas and inspiration, visit our Resource Conservation webpage and earthday.org. Our featured event is Liberty's HVAC and boiler replacement project. Even though Liberty High School was just 21 years old in 2024, its proprietary and unique-to-that-building HVAC direct digital control - or DDC - system was at the end of its life. Additionally, three of the school's five boilers had either already failed or were failing. These factors were contributing to poor system performance, high energy usage, and occupant discomfort. The time had come to replace the failing equipment, but with an overall price tag of $2.2 million the District was left wondering how the project could be completed. Energy Services Company. Willdan was hired to assist. Willdan's team worked with the Energy Trust of Oregon and the Oregon Department of Energy to find funding opportunities. With tremendous success, the total Energy Trust incentive awarded was $636,000, which is the largest ever awarded for a single HVAC project. The balance of the project cost was covered by the Department of Energy's SB 1149 Public Purchase Charge program. We now have upgraded DDCs for Liberty's HVAC system, and four new high-efficiency boilers instead of five, which are anticipated to result in an annual energy savings of $140,000. A representative from Willdan presented the School Board with a ceremonial check for the Energy Trust incentive at the February 25 Board meeting. Many thanks to our Facilities team and Resource Conservation Manager Mia Hocking for all of their hard work and dedication to seeing this important project through to its completion.

Today and tomorrow Crosstalk is broadcasting the audio from a VCY Road Rally Tour in September 2023 where William J Federer spoke on the topic "Silence Equals Consent." This recording took place at Trail Ridge Camp in Hillsboro, WI.Throughout history there are examples of oppression against mankind. In each of these situations there are those who didn't want to create waves. Yet others stood for their cause and impacted the lives of many for the better.How does this affect the believer? After all, if the issues don't affect you, why should it matter? William communicates that it's because the Lord wants to see what's in your heart. Should believers remain silent? Is there a proper time to speak up?

North Dakota stands at the crossroads of agricultural evolution, with livestock diversification emerging as a powerful economic driver for farms across the state. In this revealing conversation with Amber Wood of the North Dakota Livestock Alliance, we uncover how this relatively young organization (established 2017) is reshaping the future of animal agriculture across the Peace Garden State.For a state dominated by crop production and beef cattle, the potential for dairy, swine, and poultry expansion represents an untapped frontier. Amber shares the remarkable story of two proposed dairy operations that could literally transform the industry overnight - a 12,500-cow facility near Abercrombie and a 24,000-cow operation near Hillsboro. Together, these projects would triple North Dakota's current dairy population, potentially attracting processing infrastructure that has been steadily disappearing from the region. This chicken-and-egg dilemma of needing processors to support farmers while processors need sufficient volume to justify investment highlights the delicate balance required for agricultural growth.Beyond the economics of scale, we explore how livestock integration enhances land value through what Amber playfully calls "number two being number one" - the profound impact of manure on soil health. Beyond providing the basic NPK nutrients, livestock waste delivers micronutrients, organic matter, and moisture retention capacity that commercial fertilizers simply cannot match. This natural enhancement creates a virtuous cycle where crops feed animals and animals nourish the soil.The NDLA offers a suite of services that remove barriers for producers considering livestock diversification. From free site analyses examining everything from power availability to road infrastructure, to guiding farmers through complex permitting processes that can span hundreds of pages of documentation, they provide the expertise many landowners simply don't possess. We also touch on current challenges facing livestock producers, including the recent spread of avian influenza into dairy herds and the promising developments in vaccination technology that could help control its spread.Whether you're a crop producer considering diversification, a current livestock operator looking to expand, or simply curious about the future of North Dakota agriculture, this conversation illuminates the tremendous potential waiting to be unlocked. Connect with the North Dakota Livestock Alliance at ndlivestock.org to explore how livestock might fit into your agricultural operation.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

HSD began its Spanish-English Dual Language program in the 2002-03 school year to engage and support the increasingly diverse community we were serving and continue to serve. In HSD's Dual Language program (also referred to as two-way immersion), students learn content in Spanish and English simultaneously. Cultures are explored while students work and learn together, preparing them for a successful future in the multicultural world in which we live.Today, we have more than 3,600 PK-12 students participating in Dual Language Programs across our district. These are in place at eight elementary schools and to varying degrees at each of our middle and high schools. The programs at South Meadows Middle School and Hilhi are considered “robust” programs, with two or three of the four core classes offered in Spanish at each grade level. Our other middle and high schools offer one or two core classes in Spanish - one of them being Spanish Language Arts. This way, students are able to maintain and grow their biliteracy skills within their own communities. Read more on our website at: www.hsd.k12.or.us

March is Women's History Month, a time to recognize the many contributions that women have made to the fabric of American History.  Women's History Month was first celebrated in 1981 as Women's History Week but became a month-long observance in 1987. We celebrate to remind ourselves of the accomplishments of women and to reflect on the trailblazing women who led the way for change. Studying the tenacity, courage, and creativity of historic women provides a sense of strength, value, and identifiable role models for all of our students.  This March, we encourage you and your family to plan activities throughout the month that promote learning about unique women who have made tremendous impacts on our history. We also encourage you to learn more about women's history, accomplishments, and experiences;  commemorate women's stories; and celebrate women's achievements.

Exactly three years ago, Russia mounted a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, triggering a war that has killed more than 12,000 civilians, displaced 4 million people internally and created nearly 7 million refugees, according to the United Nations. Today, Russian forces occupy roughly 20% of Ukraine.   Last week, President Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting the war, called its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, a “dictator” and initiated talks with Russia – but not Ukraine – to end the conflict.  Two members of the Ukrainian American community in the Portland area join us to share their perspectives: Tatiana Terdal, president of the Portland-Lviv Friendship City Association and a board member of the Ukrainian Foundation; and Yulia Brockdorf, a Ukrainian American psychotherapist in Hillsboro who is the co-founder and president of DAWN, a nonprofit which delivers medical supplies and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is poised to have an influential role in the next Trump administration as the president-elect's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Recently, Kennedy told news outlets that a top priority will be directing communities to take fluoride out of their drinking water. Fluoride has been a pillar of public health for decades, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes it as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Experts point to evidence that it strengthens teeth and improves oral health. But fluoride has also inflamed local debates, where some oppose the government putting something in public drinking water. Recent research also raises questions about potential benefits and harms of fluoride.Yet these growing debates are already well underway in Oregon, which is home to Portland, the largest U.S. city without fluoride in its drinking water. The liberal suburb of Hillsboro and the small conservative town of Lebanon may also foreshadow the impassioned fights that could soon spread across the country. Whether to add or remove fluoride from drinking water was on the ballots in both places this month, fueling intense battles in person and online. National health reporter Fenit Nirappil recently traveled to Oregon to understand up close the science and politics of fluoride. He spoke with host Elahe Izadi about what he learned. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon, who also contributed reporting. Sabby Robinson contributed production help. It was edited by Reena Flores, with help from Lucy Perkins, and it was mixed by Justin Gerrish. Thanks to Tracy Jan.
