How do international schools get their start- in particular the original ones from so many years ago? Many of them had very humble beginnings, with a handful of students, a few parents (usually spouses of diplomats or business people who had moved overseas) and a large house or a few rooms where lessons could be held. At 71 years of age, The Lincoln School in Kathmandu, Nepal is one such school. In this “case study-style” interview, we were lucky enough to be able to speak with Barbara Butterworth, who was head of the school from 1998 - 2005. Barbara is an educator whose career originally took her to Nepal as a Peace Corps Volunteer, where she taught math and science. She also taught science education at two different colleges and served as a principal/director at four different schools: a private elementary school, a public elementary school, an international school, and a noted Nepali high school. From 1998 to 2005, she was the director of the Lincoln School, the American international school in Nepal. A graduate of Wellesley College, Cornell University, and Stanford University, Barbara's career in education has also included leading a major USAID teacher training project in Cambodia.Our Guiding Questions were, “At 71 years of age, Lincoln School is one of the “OG” international schools.

Students at the Lincoln School have a question: should they be using wooden pencils or plastic mechanical ones? This week on Possibly we explain the answer, and how to find it.

Seventy years ago, on the morning of July 5, 1954, Lincoln Elementary School went up in flames.

Lincoln School's annual Reading and Feeding project is designed to instill the love of reading while encouraging students to be good citizens by giving back to the community. This event inspires students to read through encouraging families to pledge money based on the minutes students read. All pledge monies will then be used to support various community projects: 1. The Hungry Kids Project gives food bags to about 70 students in PUSD each week. Without these bags, many students would be hungry over the weekend. 2. Prescott Meals on Wheels provides volunteer services to deliver meals to elderly people who... For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/reading-and-feeding-project-at-lincoln-school-gives-back-to-community/Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

City council members Mackenzie Mindel and Mac Kiel in studio, ahead of committee week, where they'll be discussing accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules. We also talked chickens, selling Lincoln Middle School and a homeless update. Mindel and Kiel are both on the city's Judiciary and Administration committee, which meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Began the show with a quick rundown, but did talk about chicken coup regulation quick. After that (6:50), we discussed the recent sale of Lincoln by the La Crosse School District to a group that is looking to build affordable housing, and what that would mean for the city. We also talked about Transit Equity Days (12:45) in the city, where riding the bus is free, and how Mindel and Kiel are taking council office hours during rides. We also discussed the city's electric busses and, since it was so cold a few weeks ago, if there were problems, would the council know about it. Speaking of cold, Kiel then gave us an update on homelessness (15:45) — as she goes out weekly with an outreach team. It also comes a few weeks after the city-county put out their five-year plan to end homelessness, called Pathways Home. The second half of the show (19:25) consisted mostly of ADU talk, as the council two months ago put off any decision on changing regulations for property owners. In that time, the city held two public hearings on ADUs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 068 – Bertis English Recipient of the 2023 C.J. Coley Award from Alabama Historical Association Air Date: November 8, 2023 Dr. Bertis English, professor of history at Alabama State University, discusses his book, Civil Wars, Civil Beings, and Civil Rights in Alabama's Black Belt: A History of Perry County (University of Alabama Press, 2020) that won the Alabama Historical Association's 2023 C.J. Coley Award for the best book on local history published in the previous two years. English argues that African American agency and the power of interracial citizens made the history of Perry County, AL, significantly different from the orthodox understanding of the Black Belt's history from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement as one of relentless racial strife and oppression.

This episode had a grunginess to it. Sorry. Our visual connection while recording was a bit unsettling, though we celebrated the shared casual space we enjoy in an audio-only podcast. But David's long road trip has him taking liberties with his hotel room accommodations that Dr Dave felt led to rebuke. He might have been too judge-y. To come full circle, if the "Buddy Award" that David (almost) enjoyed as a Lincoln School volunteer wasn't special enough, we may be able to join Comfort Inn housekeeping to pick up on why it was exactly the humbler he deserves.

Today at most public high schools you'll find a full program of girls sports. The passage of Title IX in 1972 required schools receiving federal funding to not discriminate based on sex. It took some time for Cranford Public Schools to begin offering girls sports. It started with a field hockey team and in 1973, a girls basketball team was created. That team not only was a first, but it distinguished itself by playing in the state championship game its first season.Three seniors were the core of that team. Carol Blazejowski, Nancy French and Lisa Levine played together going back to their elementary grade days at Lincoln School. This week's Cranford Radio podcast brings the three together to  talk not only about that magical season, but to go back even further to the formation of their friendship and then to catch up on what they did after graduation.

The Betsey Williams Sycamore is the most famous tree in Rhode Island. Its huge girth and spreading branches have been photographed, climbed on, and loved by generations of visitors to historic Roger Williams Park in Providence. But its history touches on the legacy of Roger Williams, Rhode Island's founder; introduces overlooked characters, some noble and some "shady," including a forgotten tree; and features a Williams family crisis (and divorce trial) that threatened the tree and future park.GuestsRenee GambaDirector of the Museum of Natural HistoryParks Dept., City of Providencehttp://providenceri.gov/museum/ http://https://www.providenceri.gov/parks-recreation/Ruth MacaulayHistory Dept., Lincoln School http://lincolnschool.orgSpecial thanks toAndrew Smith, The Rhode Island Supreme Court Judicial Record Center, http://https://www.courts.ri.gov/JudicialRecordsCenter/Pages/default.aspxRebecca Valentine, The Rhode Island Historical Society, http://rihs.orgReaders in order of appearance Ed Nardell, Martha Douglas-Osmundson, Andy Sabo, Margaret Sabo, Laura Maxwell, Robb BarnardPodcast ConsultantMartha Douglas-OsmundsonTheme MusicDiccon Lee, www.deeleetree.comArtworkDahn Hiuni, www.dahnhiuni.com/homeWebsitethisoldtree.showTranscripts available.Follow onFacebook or Instagram We want to hear about the favorite tree in your life!

DR. IRVING KIRSCH ON 60 MINUTES PROVING PLACEBOS WORK AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS Qatar: Killer Heat Cripples Workers India on Fire: Dealing with the heatwave crisis   Higher vitamin C levels associated with lower mortality risk during 16-year period Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, August 20 2022 A study reported in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has uncovered an association between higher plasma vitamin C levels and a lower risk of mortality during more than 16 years of follow-up.  The study included 473 men and 475 women between the ages of 53 and 84.  Among subjects whose plasma vitamin C concentrations were among the top 25%, the adjusted risk of dying from any cause during follow-up was 25% lower than the risk experienced by subjects whose vitamin C levels were among the lowest quarter. Those whose plasma vitamin C levels were among the highest 25% had an adjusted risk of dying from cancer or stroke that was 28% lower and a risk of dying from heart disease that was 35% lower than subjects whose levels were lowest.  When subjects with low vitamin C levels (defined as 28 micromoles per liter or below) and normal levels (greater than 28 micromoles per liter) were compared, a normal level was associated with a 23% lower risk of premature mortality and a 38% lower risk of dying from heart disease, in comparison with low levels.  As a possible reason for their findings, Shao-Ming Wang and colleagues note that oxidative stress is lowered by vitamin C. Oxidative stress can promote endothelial dysfunction that underlies heart disease by increasing inflammation and lipid peroxidation and decreasing nitric oxide availability. Oxidative stress also causes DNA damage associated with cancer. Pomegranate-cocoa blend helps improve aging men's symptoms Shetty Hospital (India), August 19 2022.  A study published  in the International Journal of Medical Science found benefits for supplementing with a combination of extracts of Punica granatum (pomegranate) fruit rind and Theobroma cocoa seed extracts in middle-aged men. Previous research that investigated the effects of a blend of extracts of pomegranate fruit rind and cocoa seed in young men resulted in increases in serum and free testosterone levels as well as muscle strength and size. The current study included 120 men between the ages of 36 to 55 years who received 200 mg or 400 mg of pomegranate-cocoa extract or a placebo for 8 weeks. All participants were assigned to a program consisting of 30 minutes of walking per day for 5 days per week.  At the end of the 7-week period, both doses of pomegranate-cocoa extracts were associated with significant improvement in aging males' symptom scores, free and total testosterone levels, strength and perceived stress compared to the beginning of the study and to the placebo group.  The authors concluded that pomegranate-cocoa “is a well-tolerated, safe, and effective nutraceutical blend that boosts sexual function, testosterone level, and psychological and general well-being in aging males.” Placebo effect demonstrates healing power of the mind Harvard Medical School, August 13, 2022  Experts at Harvard Medical School advocate that the placebo effect be received with more positivity, rather than viewed as a deceptive or inaccurate measure designed to test health.  They conclude that the power of thought can be extremely effective in helping people heal, focusing on physiological changes that have been linked to the placebo effect. The placebo effect involves someone being given medicine that is actually typically nothing more than a sugar pill which does not contain active ingredients. Many times, patients receiving a placebo who are in need of healing a certain condition report feeling significantly better, if not altogether healed. The experts at Harvard explain that improvements may take place because of the anticipated response that a person expects when given medication. The university's literature says that there is “evidence that some of the placebo effect is a favorable reaction to care and attention from people who patients believe can help ease their suffering and distress.” It goes on to say that the placebo effect “may be an integral part of good medical care and an ally that should be embraced by doctors and patients alike.” This paves the way for potential changes in how health is handled and, furthermore, reinforces the strength of the human mind to bring about healing and desired outcomes, health or otherwise. Awake within a dream: Lucid dreamers show greater insight in waking life University of Lincoln (UK), August 12, 2022 People who are aware they are asleep when they are dreaming have better than average problem-solving abilities, new research has discovered. Experts from the University of Lincoln, UK, say that those who experience ‘lucid dreaming' — a phenomena where someone who is asleep can recognise that they are dreaming — can solve problems in the waking world better than those who remain unaware of the dream until they wake up. It is thought some people are able to do this because of a higher level of insight, meaning their brains detect they are in a dream because events would not make sense otherwise.  This cognitive ability translates to the waking world when it comes to finding the solution to a problem by spotting hidden connections or inconsistencies, researchers say. The research by Dr Patrick Bourke, Senior Lecturer at the Lincoln School of Psychology, is the first empirical study demonstrating the relationship between lucid dreaming and insight. The study examined 68 participants aged between 18 and 25 who had experienced different levels of lucid dreaming, from never to several times a month. They were asked to solve 30 problems designed to test insight. Each problem consisted of three words and a solution word. Results showed that frequent lucid dreamers solved 25 per cent more of the insight problems than the non-lucid dreamers. The role of dietary coconut for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease Curtin University (Australia), August 12, 2022 According to news reporting originating in Bentley, Australia, research stated, “Coconut oil, derived from the coconut fruit, has been recognised historically as containing high levels of saturated fat; however, closer scrutiny suggests that coconut should be regarded more favourably.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Curtin University, “Unlike most other dietary fats that are high in long-chain fatty acids, coconut oil comprises medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). MCFA are unique in that they are easily absorbed and metabolised by the liver, and can be converted to ketones. Ketone bodies are an important alternative energy source in the brain, and may be beneficial to people developing or already with memory impairment, as in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Coconut is classified as a highly nutritious ‘functional food'. It is rich in dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals; however, notably, evidence is mounting to support the concept that coconut may be beneficial in the treatment of obesity, dyslipidaemia, elevated LDL, insulin resistance and hypertension – these are the risk factors for CVD and type 2 diabetes, and also for AD. In addition, phenolic compounds and hormones (cytokinins) found in coconut may assist in preventing the aggregation of amyloid-beta peptide, potentially inhibiting a key step in the pathogenesis of AD.” According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “The purpose of the present review was to explore the literature related to coconut, outlining the known mechanistic physiology, and to discuss the potential role of coconut supplementation as a therapeutic option in the prevention and management of AD.” Cold sores virus, cardiovascular damage linked in study Brighton and Sussex Medical School, August 14, 2022 A herpes virus similar to the one that causes cold sores has been linked to immune cells that can damage cardiovascular tissue, according to a study. Researchers at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School in England found that a relevant number of a specific type of immune cells arise when infection with cytomegalovirus is present. Their findings were published in the journal Theranostics. The virus, which is frequently associated with the salivary glands, has been considered harmless because the immune system usually controls it. But the CD28null CD4 T-cells have been known to be involved in damaging the arteries around the heart. Cytomegalovirus infection increases the risk of cardiovascular death by over 20 percent, according to a study published last year in the Journal of the American Heart Association, but the effect wasn't identified. One theory was they were a natural consequence of aging. “While we had previously been aware of a link between these immune cells and cardiovascular damage, this study is the first to show that sufficient numbers to be damaging only occur in the presence of this infection,” lead author Dr. Alejandra Pera, a researcher at BSMS, said in a press release. They found that certain tissue types, which are determined genetically, make individuals more susceptible to large numbers of these cells. With this discovery researchers believe heart disease can be controlled by treating the virus.

A lot has happened in the past week, and there's a lot of entertainment planned for this weekend and beyond, so don't wait to listen to this episode! As always, the transcripts for the news roundup episode is on the website at www.discoverdaytonpodcast.com. Please be sure to leave a review and share this episode with a friend!   Groups and organizations mentioned in this episode include: Ohio Statehouse Greater Dayton RTA Dayton Police City of Dayton On Purpose Academy and Mentoring Center Miami Valley Child Development Centers Dayton Daily News Montgomery County Democratic Party Vegan It IZ Eats RI International Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services Dayton Ale Trail Yellow Cab Tavern Dayton Jewish Film Festival Front Street Galleries Dayton Society of Artists Dayton Pride Festival Blind Bob's Levitt Pavilion Dayton Playhouse PFLAG Dayton Rubi Girls The Brightside Shadyside Clemmer Bribing Senators Yardboss St. Helen Spring Festival The New Respects Neil deGrasse Tyson Dayton Live Dayton Jazz Festival Five Rivers MetroParks   Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm your host, Arch Grieve, and today Friday, which means it's time for your weekly news roundup, where I read the news so you don't have to. A lot happened recently, including the RTA announcing free weekend summer rides, Gettysburg Avenue being put on a “road diet,” and more. And as always there's a lot going on this weekend and beyond, including Pride Month celebrations, so stay tuned for the news in just a moment.    And now for last week's news in Dayton:   Dayton City Commissioners spoke out recently against Mike Dewine and the Ohio Statehouse for legislation that legislators passed recently and that is now awaiting Governor Dewine's signature. House Bill 99 is a bill that would allow school teachers to be armed in school settings with as little as 24 hours of training. The commissioners also spoke out against past legislation that Mike Dewine has already signed into law, including a “stand your ground” law and legislation that enabled people to conceal carry without a permit. The commissioners pointed out that in the wake of the tragic Oregon District shootings three years ago, the governor promised to pass common-sense gun laws, which never materialized.    Well if you're looking to save some money on gas, then you might want to hear about this next story. The Greater Dayton RTA is going to be offering free rides on weekends over the summer starting tomorrow, June 4th, and going through September 4th. The RTA is offering free rides on both its fixed-route buses and para-transit vehicles, and RTA officials say they hope that the cost of providing the free weekend rides will be offset by increased ridership, particularly as gas prices continue to increase. For more information, visit iriderta.org.   If you remember last week I let you know about the curfew sweep that police would be doing last weekend. Well, the numbers are in and the police caught zero juveniles breaking curfew during last Friday's sweep, which police are touting as a success. The sweep primarily took place downtown but also included parks where juveniles are regularly observed congregating in.    Well, the City of Dayton will be putting Gettysburg Avenue on a, quote, “diet,” to help reduce what city leaders call “automobile circus acts” and “hooning,” which is apparently a word used to describe reckless vehicle operation maneuvers like drifting and burnouts and the like. The diet consists of shrinking the roadway and decreasing the number of traffic lanes, which city leaders say is larger than it needs to be based on Dayton's current population. The changes would be reminiscent of what the city did to the area of Brown St. near UD and the city plans to take action immediately while simultaneously seeking funding for more long-term fixes. The city argues that the changes are needed because, since 2015, a 3.5-mile stretch of Gettysburg has been the location of over 1400 accidents, 59 serious injuries, and 10 fatalities, including a recent one that killed four people. The city is going to be seeking public input before making any decisions on permanent changes and plans to apply for a state infrastructure bank loan to help fund the project.    The City of Dayton is planning to use some of its American Plan Rescue Act funds, $150,000 to be exact, to help fund a pre-school on wheels program. The program, known as Pop Up Preschool, seeks to provide preschool options for areas of the city that are preschool deserts. Kimberly Jarvis, director of the On Purpose Academy and Mentoring Center, which runs the Pop Up Preschool program, says she has the teachers that will be needed for the program but needs help with funding to convert RVs into mobile classrooms, which would serve between 9-12 students at a time and travel to two locations over the course of the school day. To learn more about the program, visit www.opamc.net/pup.   In other childcare-related news, the City of Dayton is spending over half a million dollars to help consolidate four childcare centers in East Dayton under one roof. The $11 million building is being constructed on the site of the former Lincoln School in the Twin Towers neighborhood by Miami Valley Child Development Centers and will be known as the Lincoln Hill Child and Family Center. The school will serve 250 students, at least 90% of whom meet federal poverty guidelines. The MVCDC received the funds through moneys that the city got from a community development block grant and were awarded them through a competitive grant process. The new building will have 14 classrooms, office space, a community training space, and a full-service commercial kitchen.    Well now that the Ohio redistricting process mess continues to result in anti-democratic outcomes, with the Dayton Daily News reporting recently that the new district boundaries will mean that some incumbents will be running unopposed in spite of the fact that the partisan voter makeup of those districts has changed due to the fact that Ohio's filing deadline has not been extended or re-opened since candidates filed their petitions in February. Since then, the districts have changed greatly in some instances. For example, Riverside recently went from a Republican-leaning district to the one represented by Dayton's state representative, Willis Blackshear, Jr. Similarly, the district represented by former Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer added Trotwood and other Democrat-leaning areas and now favors Democrats, but he will be running unopposed in the general as no Democrat filed in what used to be a Republican-leaning district. Secretary of State LaRose says there's nothing he can do and that any changes in filing deadlines are set by law and must be made by the Ohio Statehouse. However, candidates may still file as independents without party affiliation if they do so by 4pm on August 1st, the day before the rescheduled primary will take place. Montgomery County Democratic Party Chairman Mark Owens called the claim by Republicans that there isn't time to re-open the process, quote, “ridiculous,” and called for a 10-day window for candidates to file in the newly redrawn districts. You can find out about your district by visiting findmydistrict.ohiosos.gov.    Well if you're vegan, or just trying to reduce your meat consumption, you'll want to hear this news. There's a new vegan restaurant opening up at the 2nd Street Market called Vegan It IZ Eats, which is owned by Dayton native Rhea Adkins. It will have a rotating breakfast and lunch menu including things like jack fruit tacos, coconut bacon grilled cheese, chai french toast, and more. It will also carry meal prep options, granola, seasoning blends, nut milks, dressings, sauces, and a cookbook. You can visit veganitizeats.com for more information.    A new crisis center for those experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises is going to be opening up in the Carillon neighborhood here in Dayton later this year if all goes to plan. The Crisis Now Receiving Center, which is a project of RI International and the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services (or ADAMHS), will open at Elizabeth Place. Individuals in crisis can call Montgomery County at 833-580-2255 to receive support.    And finally, if you're like me and enjoy a good local craft beer, you'll want to check out my friend Alexis Larsen's article in the Dayton Daily News from this past Sunday's paper, which talks about the Dayton Ale Trail. There are 31 local breweries in and around Dayton that participate in the trail, and all you need to do to start is visit one of them and pick up your Dayton Ale Trail passport, which you can collect stamps in by visiting each of the breweries on the list and purchasing a beer. Dayton's breweries are on the list, as well as surrounding ones like Eudora, Lucky Star, and many more. Once you've visited all of the other 30 breweries, you can collect your final beer at the Yellow Cab Tavern in Dayton, where you'll be awarded a 16 oz. stainless steel pint glass. I've never made it to all of them in one year, but I think I'll make that a goal this year, so I hope you'll join me and maybe I'll see you around at one of them this summer.    That's it for last week's news, and now here's what's going on in Dayton this weekend and beyond:   The Dayton Jewish Film Festival kicked off yesterday, June 2nd, at the Dayton Art Institute with a screening of “That Orchestra With the Broken Instruments.” The remaining films, however, will be screened at The Neon movie theater downtown, with films running now through June 26th.

William Gee Wong almost didn't exist. A few years before Wong was born, his father was shot four times over a dispute involving Oakland Chinatown's underground lottery. Thanks to the quick work of doctors at Highland Hospital, Wong's father survived, and after retiring from the gambling business, he opened the Great China restaurant on a busy commercial stretch of Webster Street. William Gee Wong was born just around the corner, at the family's house on Harrison Street, the youngest of seven children. Even after his family moved to the “China Hill” area east of Lake Merritt, one of the few neighborhoods open to Asian-Americans during the 1940s, William spent most of his time either working for the family business or at Lincoln School. This is why he says “Chinatown was my whole universe” for about the first 20 years of his life. As the decades passed, Bill learned journalism writing for The Daily Cal, before breaking racial barriers at the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal. Eventually, he returned to his hometown to write for The Oakland Tribune about culture and politics from an Asian-American perspective, something practically unheard of at mainstream media outlets in the 1980s. Since retiring he's published two books, “Yellow Journalist” and “Oakland's Chinatown,” and he's currently working on a memoir about his father, who immigrated from China in 1912. In today's episode, William Gee Wong discusses the history of Chinese immigration to California, the rise of Oakland's Chinatown, his memories of working in a “hybrid” restaurant, the systemic racism of urban renewal projects that gutted his neighborhood, and much more.

Outgoing Senior School Head, Sophie Lau, takes us through her professional journey from first-year teacher to Head of School. We learn about her inspiration for teaching, her motivation for leading, some of her favorite moments, and the legacy she leaves at Shady Side alongside the vision for strong leadership ahead. It takes great strength to re-learn how to walk at age 49, lead a school especially during these difficult times, keep all of the balls in the air while maintaining a sense of humor, but this is Sophie. Shady Side Academy's loss is Lincoln School's gain. Show notes: Song: Girl on Fire, Alicia Keys Book: The Nickel Boys, Colson Whitehead Actionnable personal challenge: we must be proactive in our anti-racist work and hold each other accountable to make it happen. NOW is the time!

What happens when a small group at FUMC begins to carry a burden for the under-served students in our community? A program is born that literally changes the life-direction for many young people who may have otherwise been brushed aside. Here the stories of how at-risk elementary students were shown love, care, and blossomed into community changers as adults. You'll also hear of a program developed to honor a man who dedicated much of his retirement years to the development of young minds. 

New Brunswick's Lincoln Annex School, serving roughly 750 children in grades 4-8, may be shut down by the city and sold to Robert Wood Johnson to build a new Rutgers Cancer Institute building. Residents from across the community have expressed concerns about what the future could bring. At this point, the city has announced no contingency plan for the closing of the school. Students could very likely end up in a building over 2 miles away and outside of the fifth ward, in what has become locally known as the warehouse school, a rented warehouse structure that the school district has put to use during school renovations and other projects. If not the warehouse school, Lincoln Annex students could be relocated to the original Lincoln School, a building constructed in 1910 with no central air conditioning, limited technological capacities, and a school that is currently housing just four grade levels. James Boyle sits down with Charlie Kratovil of the Fifth and Sixth Ward Neighborhood Association to discuss how this fight over Lincoln Annex is situated against a larger backdrop of neoliberal redevelopment, the rise of an anti-democratic urban regime, and the strained relationships between the city's largest institutions and its most vulnerable community members.

The Podcast Twins had a chance to talk with Rachel Margaglione and Andrea Regina, both of the Lincoln School, about their experiences as a 21st Century School and about Lego Robotics.

Everyone loves a good story. We fall for it every time. We stop everything the moment our brain suspects a story is in play. We can’t resist the drama, the journey, the final outcome.   STORY MARKETING By incorporating storytelling into your marketing you can instantly increase curiosity, engagement, trust and ultimately sales. By story I don’t mean “once upon a time stories.” I mean implied stories. A short snippet of words that paints a picture, stirs emotions and reveals desired outcomes. Most music studios describe their programs in a bullet point fashion. “In our lessons we teach this and that I’m just listing facts” That’s not a story. A story introduces a character, a journey and a transformation. I did a random internet search for piano lessons. Here's the first studio that popped up.    QUESTIONS TO ASK Who is the hero in the story? What is their journey? What transformation occurs?   “We offer friendly, competent lessons with educated teachers who love to teach Our Piano lessons are catered to you. We personalize each lesson based on your personal goals and expectations of piano lessons. Learn proper technique, reading and ear training, music theory, and sight reading” This is more of a description of what music lessons are. Theory, technique and playing songs." Who’s the hero in the story? The music teacher. What’s the journey? There really isn’t one.  What transformation occurs? Child learns how to play music.   ADD A LITTLE DRAMA The following example incorporates story into the description of guitar lessons. "You open a closet door and out spills a world of clutter. You grab a broom or tennis racket and slip into a rock star daydream.  You purse your lips, bob your head and play the air guitar like your own the world. The guitar represents freedom, independence and confidence. It feels great to play the guitar; especially after dreaming about it for years. Realize your potential. Make your dreams come true and learn how to play the guitar." Who is the hero in the story? The child What is their journey? Go from playing make believe rock star to a real musician What transformation occurs? Child realizes his/her potential and makes a dream come true.   FEATURED WEBSITES Dave Simon's Music Enterprise  Music Lessons and Marketing  Lincoln School of Music   SHOW CREDITS Intro music: Dusted by Fojimoto Transition music: Levi Simon Outro music: Rain and Revolution by City Breathing  

Are you struggling to grow your music studio? Do you need more students...today? Your website is most likely the culprit. It's true. Your website could actually be hurting your business. If your website does not follow the basic rules of messaging and design you could be leaving money on the table. You could be confusing website visitors who aren't clear as to what they are suppose to do when they land on your site. In this episode I lay out a simple plan that will help turn your website into a selling machine. What is the purpose of website? It’s not to provide lots of information It’s to persuade the website visitor to opt in: to give you their email and phone number It’s to make a sale It’s to get permission to market to your prospects: educate them and provide value to them Your website is a hub - all online and offline marketing leads back to your website. How do people behave on a website? What are people doing before they make it to your website? (social media, surfing) We think people want access to information: Many business create websites like a brochure with lots of information. The modern website functions more like a business card or short pamphlet-Remember what’s the purpose? To get visitors to opt in. People want to be guided and lead through your website. They don’t want to have to guess where to go and what to click. When people land on your website they have 3 questions. What is this? What’s in it for me? What I am supposed to click? People don’t read your copy-they scan it Use headlines-bullet points-short paragraphs Avoid wall of text-no one reads it-too much work-if it takes more than 20 seconds to read they won’t read it. Basic design concepts Hire a professional Design like a billboard Single image: Fills up the entire frame: no border Music school: Happy kid playing instrument Avoid: slide shows, images of instruments, it says we sell instruments, image of yourself Logo in upper left hand corner 3-5 menu options across the top-about, lessons, contact Call to action button in the upper right hand corner Call to action button in the center towards the bottom CTA=action oriented (start today, play music now, Play music today, yes, I’m ready to play) AVOID: Contact us, (delay, another step) request info (we’ll email you stuff aka junk) Featured message: (tag) this is what we do - this is how it will enhance your life (learn to play music-it’s easier than you think) How do people find you and what are they doing before they land on your site Ads Social media Have multiple tabs open-one tab is social media/email They’re addicted to both. They want to hop back and check every minute or so. Time is tight-can’t afford to have any fat-or “happy talk” (small talk) Featured web sites Lincoln School of Music Web Maestra Dave Simon’s Music Enterprise   Show Credits Intro music: Dusted by Fojimoto Transition music: Levi Simon Outro music: Rain and Revolution by City Breathing

Carl Cannon’s ELITE Youth Outreach Program is the focus of a recent "Tarter Source" podcast with the Journal Star's Steve Tarter. Cannon and his aunt, Sherry Cannon, ELITE's program coordinator, talk about the youth behavioral program that was recently approved for Lincoln School and Sterling Middle School by the Peoria school board. Cited by Lincoln principal Tom Blumer as “one of the most impactful programs” he's seen in more than three decades as an educator, the ELITE program seeks to help Peoria's underprivileged students.

It could be argued that the Cranford Public Schools have the biggest impact on the township in many ways. Dr. Scott Rubin came to the school system as superintendent last summer, taking over for interim superintendent Dr. Marilyn Birnbaum. Cranford Radio met with Dr. Rubin in his office at Lincoln School and used the time to learn a bit about his background and some of the goals he has, as well as the challenges he sees.

For the eighth year in a row, the Centennial Village Music Fest was held at Lincoln School. As in past years a mix of musical genres were performed. The first act was Cranford's own, Splittree.

Dr. Gayle Carrick is coming up on her sixth anniversary as superintendent of the Cranford Public Schools. Much has happened during those years including adoption of Common Core Standards. Dr. Carrick sat down this morning in her Lincoln School office to talk to Cranford Radio and tell us a little about her background and some of the highlights and challenges faced by Cranford's public schools.
