As students return to school, more states and districts are cracking down on cellphones. But not everyone agrees. On “Post Reports,” we hear how things look on the frontlines of this battle.Read more: A few years ago, Jennifer Rosenzweig's high school students gave her a strange nickname: the “Bucket Lady.” That's because Rosenzweig, an English teacher at Scarsdale High School in New York state, saw students increasingly on their cellphones, including in class, and having trouble focusing. Her solution? Have students drop their phones in a bucket before class. Today, Rosenzweig is no longer the sole phone cop at her school, which now has a caddy on every classroom door, with pockets that students drop their phones into as they enter. New policies like this are spreading at schools throughout the United States, with pressure coming from teachers and parents who see phones as a distraction, an impediment to learning and a burden on students' mental health.Host Martine Powers speaks with national education reporter Laura Meckler about the growing battle over phones in schools and the different opinions on the correct approach. Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff with help from Ted Muldoon and Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was mixed by Sean Carter and edited by Monica Campbell. Thanks to Karina Elwood and Chastity Pratt.

In this special "Student's Corner" episode, a group of students from my class at Scarsdale High School share their research paper findings in two minute segments. The students spent about five months developing topics, questions, and research, including primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. These types of authentic research papers are quite rich and thought-provoking as they emerge from student interest. 

My guest for this special Father's Day Episode is John Cuk, from New York, USA. John is a conductor, musician, music educator and accompanist, and a dad of 2 girls.John started playing the piano at age 5, played the trumpet in a band, sang in choirs, grew up going to the theatre, opera and going to concerts, even though his parents weren't musical he was exposed to the arts. In school he sang in the choir and played in the band. He dreamt of going on to study to be a music teacher, as well as holding on to the desire to be a performer in his own right.He went on to study degrees from Manhattanville College and The Manhattan School of Music as well as post graduate work from Westminster Choir College and gained his Masters in Piano Performance.John juggled being a professional musician with being a full time teacher for many years, enjoying the grounding that being in the class room brought him.John's career in academia spanned 40 years. He has taught at Scarsdale High School, Somers High School, Middle Schools in Chappaqua, New Rochelle, Rye and at The Anglo-American School in New York.

You don't have to suffer in silence- and you don't actually have to live under the stress of procrastination! There IS A BETTER WAY! Dr. Christine Li, psychotherapist and procrastination coach, breaks it down in a very easy way to understand- our brains don't want the extra stress associated with procrastination- they are so high level and creative and magical- and our fear of failure, lack of clarity and disbelief in what we are capable of, and the fact that we have forgotten that we are limitless- because we get overwhelmed.Fascinating, informative and just REALLY REALLY good. The Two Jess(es) highly recommend that you don't procrastinate listening to this one :-) Meet Dr. Li:I am a N.Y.S.-licensed clinical psychologist working in private practice in New York City and Westchester, New York. I have conducted Procrastination Workshops at Columbia University, New York-Presbyterian Medical School, the New York City Guitar School, the YMCA of White Plains, and in the New York City community.I have provided in-service trainings on Procrastination at the counseling service centers at Columbia University, New York-Presbyterian Medical School, SUNY College-Purchase, Fordham University, Barnard College, and Scarsdale High School.In my work, I draw from my many years of experience working with university-aged students at Adelphi University, Pace University-Pleasantville, Columbia University, and New York-Presbyterian Medical School. I started the “Procrastination Coach” website in 2009 to connect to the wider population of Procrastinators at large.To learn more about Dr. Li and her work, visit: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com/Support the show (http://www.paypal.com)

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Aquidneck Island is home to the International Yacht Restoration School of Technology and Trades? Currently, four accredited programs are offered including Digital Modeling & Fabrication, Composites Technology, Boatbuilding & Restoration, and Marine Systems.  Now, for our feature story: A University of Rhode Island graduate student will be scouring lakes, ponds and wetlands throughout Rhode Island over the next three years to search for signs of three semi-aquatic mammals to document their distribution in the state. Traveling via kayak, John Crockett will search for evidence of muskrats, beavers and river otters in waterways of southwestern Rhode Island this winter before expanding his search to other areas of the state in the coming years. Crockett, a native of Fort Collins, CO is collaborating with URI Assistant Professor Brian Gerber. “The main goal of the study is to get a good sense of the distribution of each species across the state. To do that, we're conducting an occupancy analysis, which means we're going out looking for signs of tracks, scat, chewed sticks, lodges and sightings of the animals.” All three species have been the target of trappers in Rhode Island for many years — though the state legislature banned the trapping of river otters in the 1970s — and most of what state wildlife officials know about the animals is derived from trapping data. But since trapping has been decreasing in popularity in recent years, less and less data about the animals is being collected. Gerber said: “We want to make sure we have a good assessment of where these mammals are found. It's been 10 or 15 years since anyone has spent much time looking for them, and we want to see if we find any changes in their distribution since those earlier surveys.” According to Crockett, Muskrats are in decline across much of their range in the United States, and now they are difficult to find. The decrease in trapping activity has made it difficult to tell whether the animals are in decline in Rhode Island or if the lack of trapping just makes it appear that way. “Ever since the '70s, we've been mostly in the dark about where these animals live and how many there might be,” Crockett expects to conduct his surveys from December through March for the next three years, as well as periodic summer surveys. He eventually hopes to be able to estimate the probability that any of the three species will be found in a given habitat. The URI scientists are working closely on the project with wildlife biologists at the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management so the data can be used to help prioritize habitat for protection and inform management decisions on trapping limits.

I can do that." Bobby Goldwater, Innovative Sports Executive and Consultant, and host Andy Ockershausen in-studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Our Town. This is Andy Ockershausen and a conversation with a very dear friend and a very important person to me and to Our Town. His name is Bobby Goldwater. Many, many times. I have thought to ask you this question, are you related in any way to the Arizona Goldwaters? Senator Barry Goldwater Distant Relative Bobby Goldwater: Yes. I am told, that there is a distant relation. My sister, once upon a time did a family tree. We are, this is what she told us, fourth cousins twice removed, from the Arizona Goldwaters. I never met Senator Goldwater. My father and my brother did, but I did not. Andy Ockershausen: Well, a fabulous human being, to me- Bobby Goldwater: Yes indeed. Andy Ockershausen: ... and a member of Our Town, he lived in Our Town in an apartment complex, and I used to go into the drug store, he went into the druggist all the time, but I met him and then I had the misfortune fortune, I was a delegate to the Republican National Convention to support Barry Goldwater because he was such a, at the time a fresh breeze and a thing. He was a Westerner as you know, and he lived it and breathed it. His family lived it. I went to his department store in Phoenix one time, just to make sure it was there, but he didn't have anything to do with it. I think his brother ran that. The Goldwater's Fine Department Store Bobby Goldwater: Well, the family did, and the first time I was in Phoenix I said to myself, “You know, I've got to go to the department store because it has my name on it.” So I went in, I did some shopping, and I hand my credit card to the clerk, and she sees my last name, and she calls the assistant manager, and the assistant manager is going, “Oh, Mr. Goldwater, Mr. Goldwater, was everything okay?” I'm trying to convince her that I am not that Goldwater, I am not part of that part of the family, and I couldn't convince her so I just let it go. She was very nice, she couldn't have been nicer, but it was just funny, but I took a shopping bag with my family name on it. It was great. Andy Ockershausen: And your own Goldwater. Bobby, that's a great story, but that was a big part of your life. The name I'm sure when you were growing up in the business and you're a New Yorker. Scarsdale High School. Scarsdale High School Alumnus | Scarsdale, New York Bobby Goldwater: Yes sir. Andy Ockershausen: That's a very wealthy neighborhood, Scarsdale, I would say. Bobby Goldwater: People think that, yes.

Scarsdale is the upper grade high school as I remember. Bobby Goldwater: Mm-hmm (affirmative), it is. Andy Ockershausen: And the University of Miami is fabulous. Miami University of Ohio Alumnus Bobby Goldwater: Miami University. Andy Ockershausen: I mean, I mean- Bobby Goldwater: We're very sensitive about that. Andy Ockershausen: And they make a big thing of that too. Bobby Goldwater: Yes, we do. Andy Ockershausen: Donna Shalala, right? Donna Shalala Attended the University of Miami Bobby Goldwater: Yeah. She was at the University of Miami- Andy Ockershausen: I know that. Bobby Goldwater: ... in Florida. Other Ohio Universities Andy Ockershausen: But Ohio is such an important part our culture because there's an Ohio school, it's not Ohio State, right? Bobby Goldwater: Nope.
