It still does. Whether through smaller gifts to the Maryville Fund or million-dollar bequests to the endowment, every gift matters because every dollar is invested to support the College’s mission. 30 HELPING KIDS GET HEALTHY As the Coordinated School Health program coordinator for Oak Ridge (Tenn.) Schools, Blair King ’05 has been recognized on a national stage for award-winning initiatives that boost activity levels and decrease obesity rates in children. focus | FALL 2 012 1 MESSAGE from THE PRESIDENT EVERY GIFT Matters AT COMMENCEMENT IN MAY, Delores Ziegler asked and answered the question “What’s in a Gift?” reminding us that all of us are both recipients and givers of many gifts. Also at Commencement, I charged the graduates in the words of Paul to the church at Rome (Romans 12:2) to “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Later in that same chapter (v. 6), Paul notes The connecting that we have “gifts differing according to the grace “ that is given to us” but what is important is that all thread, though, is that of us contribute our gifts to the service of others. every contribution This issue of FOCUS highlights just a few of the ways that people have given to Maryville College. matters… .” The connecting thread, though, is that every contribution matters and that every person is giving to serve others. The gifts differ both in their inspiration and in their implementation, reflecting the diversity of experience both at the College and in life. The bad news is that we couldn’t tell all the wonderful stories, but of course this is really good news because Maryville College has been the recipient of so many inspiring gifts. Donor gifts help make Maryville College affordable to deserving students. The College is as efficient as possible and attempts to keep tuition and fees as low as possible. Each of the past two years, Maryville College tuition has increased at less than the rate of inflation, much less than the rate of increase at most other institutions. Nevertheless, the approach to education featuring individual interaction between a student and a professor is expensive. Scholarship support matters. Maryville College’s physical plant and campus benefit from donor gifts. Fundraising is in progress to support the complete interior renovation of Anderson Hall – its first since being constructed in 1870. Previous generous donations have made possible campus beautification, ensuring that the College’s commitment to being a good steward of the environment is exemplified in the campus. The new strategic plan, “Renewing Our Strength: Maryville College’s Bicentennial and Beyond,” was approved by the Board of Directors in October (the details of the plan will be announced soon) and calls for changes in several areas. Maryville College has a long history of innovative programming, including January term, Senior Study requirement, experiential education, study abroad and a core curriculum that includes professional ethics. Donor gifts help to underwrite the initiation and in some cases the ongoing implementation of important initiatives to keep the experience here distinctive and valuable. The annual Kin Takahashi Week brings alumni, faculty, staff, students and community members together to work on behalf of Maryville College. In doing so they not only provide a gift but also recognize the heroic contributions of Kin Takahashi, justly renowned for his selfless spirit. Fortunately, he is an example but not an exception, as that spirit of service continues to this day. All of us can recall ways that gifts from others changed our lives. For me, a still memorable occasion was a math professor giving me some extra time to complete a computer programming project because I was the piano player for a theater production that was opening the same time as the due date. By understanding that I was a person who took academics seriously but also wanted to develop other skills, he encouraged me and also set an example for how I should behave as a professor. I suspect that he doesn’t even remember the conversation, but I haven’t forgotten it though it occurred almost 30 years ago. Each of us has a chance, every day, to give the gift of encouragement to others. The Reformed tradition from which Maryville College sprung and which still informs and animates its work uses the notion of “vocation” to recognize that every profession can be done as an offering of a gift that differs according to the grace given us. We justly celebrate our ministers, social workers and teachers who have given lives of service to others.

North Country Residents Urge State To Deny Landfill Wetlands Permit.Page 2 A2 2 The Record Thursday, July 22, 2021 North Country Residents Urge State To Deny Landfill Wetlands Permit BY ROBERT BLECHL Staff Writer WHITEFIELD — Residents from across the North Country turned out on July 14 to urge the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to deny a wetlands permit sought by Casella Waste Systems for a 137-acre landfill in Dalton. Prior to the DES hearing at White Mountains Regional High School to gather public input on the permit, some 125 residents with protest signs held a rally in front of the school to oppose the landfill and permit. Inside the school auditorium, an upward of 300 residents gath- ered. The vast majority opposed a granting of the permit, with some speaking citing the fines and violations Casella has incurred through the years in operating its landfill in Bethlehem and land- fills in other states. A large number, too, voiced distrust of the company’s environ- mental record and its ability to safely operate a landfill, and some were dubious that Casella would stop at 137 acres when it seeks to buy 1,900 acres of land beside Forest Lake State Park. Others noted that the 17 acres of wetlands and loss of five vernal pools would be the largest destruction of wetlands in New Hamp- shire in a decade. Cyan A few residents also took aim at DES and questioned the depart- ment’s willingness to abide by its mission statement to protect the environment and the state’s wetlands.

  • The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' “If You're Going
    The Mamas and the Papas – California dreamin’ “If you’re going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” (John Phillips) 1.Els autors Influenciat per la “Generació Beat”, a mitjan anys 60 té lloc a San Francisco l’eclosió del moviment hippy. En la seva vessant musical, aquest nou moviment apostava decididament per una línia contestatària i subversiva, tant musicalment com en el contingut dels textos de les cançons, ara carregats de missatge. A partir d’aquest moment, la música passa a ser el mitjà d’expressió de la joventut, de la seva angoixa i del seu desig d’un altre món més lliure i just. I també de la crida per la pau, just en un moment de gran rebuig a la guerra del Vietnam. Els hippys predicaven l’evasió, la fugida (també a través de les drogues) d’un món i d’una societat incomprensibles. Els seus profetes literaris van ser Kerouac i Ginsberg. I entre els musics més significatius que van transmetre aquest missatge trobem The Mamas and the Papas. The Mamas and the Papas va ser una de les principals formacions de folk-pop sorgides a mitjan anys 60. Conjuntament amb altres grups, com ara Byrds, Beach Boys o Turtles, van omplir les llistes d’èxits de l’època amb cançons carregades de cors harmònics. El segell identificatiu del grup va ser la barreja de veus masculines (John Phillips i Denny Doherty) i femenines (Michelle Phillips i Cass Elliott) i la combinació de lletres sòlides amb arranjaments dels millors músics californians del moment.

  • Happy Reading! Robin & Chrissie
    EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik A complete (as far as is possible) index/encyclopaedia on every facet of Don & Phil Everly, covering their lives, careers, influences and connections – of course, from us as huge fans, with all due respect to them and their families. For more recording information, see also the various detailed discography lists on the EBI website (Everly.Net); for lyrics to songs, please refer to the Lyric List on the same website (http://www.everly.net/file/disco/disco.htm ). KEY/GLOSSARY/NOTES: • WB: Warner Brothers • EBs: The Everly Brothers • LPs, CDs etc. are generally (but not always) referred to throughout as ‘albums’. • Other than important (re)releases, only the original/initial album release is referred to. • Entries are listed under the first letter, including titles that start with a bracket, e.g. ‘(Why Am I) Chained To A Memory’, but exclude ‘The’ in which case they are listed under the second word. • Surnames or family names come first in the index. • Headings are coloured blue for song and album titles and maroon for everything else. • All words in bold type in the text are cross-references to other main entry headings – although no doubt we’ve missed a few! • Entries are generally aimed to be informative and we have attempted to keep them brief though some are lengthy due to the importance and significance in the life and career of Don and Phil. However, in some cases, due to the limitations of space and the huge volume of material available elsewhere, details have been kept to a bare minimum and relate mainly to the ‘Everly connection’ – e.g.

This trend requires that institutions consider how to enrich diverse student experiences both within and outside the classroom. Research has shown that collaboration between faculty and student services is essential for the development of a quality student experience (Kezar, 2005). First-year collaborations are designed to support the incoming student and provide a springboard/safety net, yet, they exist, more often than not, on the periphery of the academic experience (Barefoot & Gardner, 2003) and continue to be secondary add- ons.
