Cohorts of 27 incoming freshmen are learning what it takes to be an effective math or science teacher this summer by participating in ACTION’s Summer Bridge Program that began July 6. Program director Daniel Brahier said the Sum-mer Bridge Program is designed to start exposing students to the fundamentals of math and science education and show them how they can incor-porate the real-world concepts of math science within their own future classroom. The program is available to middle childhood or adult youth adolescent education majors with concentrations in math or science. “We try to expose them to a lot of different types of math and science to help them understand the field and get to know the professors,” Brahier said. ACTION Program Manager Wendy Stand-inger said students also get to build friend-ship and community with one another during the program. “During the month-long program, they appreci-ate the chance to bond and build close relation-ships before classes start their freshman year,” Standinger said. In addition, Standinger said that students have the benefit to become familiar with campus, live in a residence hall, meet professors, and adjust to a college schedule before school starts as well. Students are welcomed into the program on the first night with a welcome dinner and orientation night where parents can also meet Summer Bridge Program staff members and learn more about what their children will be accomplishing. The stu-dents will be living in Centennial Hall during their four-week involvement with the program. The Summer Bridge Program began in the sum-mer of 2009 with 25 students in the first cohort, according to Standinger. Moreover, cohorts of about 25-30 students come to campus each sum-mer for the program, according to Brahier. “We have a mix of academic sessions and activities to get to know each other,” Brahier said. Students start off their weekdays in academic sessions from 9 a.m. until noon and then have a break until 2 p.m., when students go back to classes until 5 p.m. Afterwards, a nightly activ-ity follows for team- and community-building purposes. Some of the sessions consist of a microbiology lab and an investigations math class. In addition, Standinger said that students engage

A black shoe made of leather is taken out of a box and placed on the table in front of museum visitors. Its shine has not faded from when it was created back in the Civil War Era. Telling history through objects that have been dug up around the Wood County Historical Museum is what Archeology Dig is all about, along with being an archeologist for the day.

The main goal of the archeological dig is to find items related to the museum’s poor house, as well as 20th-century items. At the end of the summer, the items found will be put into a display case in the asylum building, which is the newest exhibit the museum will be opening.

According to Dana Nemeth, director of the Wood County Historical Museum, the last archeological dig on the grounds was 15 years ago. Mostly bottles were found at the time of the dig, and machines were used to dig them up. This is the first time the digs are being held during the summer.

The digs currently take place near the infirmary building, which was built in 1971. There are hopes to find the 20th-century items near there.

“If we dig deep enough down, we might be able to find some items from around the time of the Native Americans.” Nemeth said.

Felicia Konrad is interning at the Wood County Historical Museum this summer. She is a graduate of Heidelberg University with a bachelor’s degree in

Anthropology. According to Konrad, she wanted the program to be educational and interactive in order to associate what’s been found and which building it might have come from to the people that used to stay there. She is running the Archeology Dig program this summer.

The participants of the program use screens to filter out the dirt that was dug up to see if there is anything that might be in it. What doesn’t filter out of the screen will sit at the bottom and be analyzed.

Afterwards, participants learn the history of the items and what it means today. They can then tour the museum to further expand their knowledge on what they learned.

While the program is full for the summer, people can come out to the museum to tour the build-ings as well as to see the other events the museum offers. The classes are limited to 10 participants, according to the website, and are for ages 10 and up. People who are interested can always call the museum to see if there might be room, according to Konrad.

Additionally, the demo days listed on the Wood County Historical Museum website for the arche-ological digs are no longer happening. However, demo days for other events at the museum are still taking place.

Last Saturday, the cast of “Broadway’s Next H!T Musical” used catchy tunes and hilarious dialogue, scenarios and costuming to fill the Wolfe Center with endless laugh-ter—and they made it all up in a matter of seconds. Unlike most musicals or plays one might see on a Saturday night, “Broadway’s Next H!T Musical” does not implement a set structure, dialogue or even plot. Rather, the show is made up and performed on the spot, in the form of comedy called improvised comedy, or “improv.” According to cast member and co-producer of the show Deb Rabbai, the musical utilizes two different kinds of improv, short-form and long-form. Short-form is based on short-span scenarios often prompted by a suggestion from the audience, whereas long-form improv takes a little more depth and time to develop character and story. “[Broadway’s Next H!T Musical] is a really nice dem-onstration of a marriage between these two styles,” Rabbai said. The show first began with a phony award ceremony hosted by comedian and actor Rob Gorden. The cer-emony riddled the audience with jokes tailored specifi-cally to Bowling Green and then continued with four different songs, all of which were contending for the “phony award”—a light-hearted jab at the ever-popular Tony Awards. All four songs, including their content, choreog-raphy and delivery were made up after one of the performers drew from a fish bowl filled with random words and phrases, written down by the audience just moments before the show. After all of the songs were performed, the cast then proceeded to do an entire

show featuring the winning song, as voted on by the audience. After watching the performance, it was only natural for audience mem-bers to question how improvised the show actually was. After all, not only were the dialogue and scenarios made up, but even the music per-formed by pianist Eric March was claimed to have been improvised. However, performer Annie Schiff-mann made it clear that nothing was or will ever be set. “Sometimes people think we have set melodies that we pull out of a hat and then tailor the song suggestions to the melodies we’ve pre-written, [but] that does not happen,” she said. “Everything’s completely made up, the piano player is following us and we are following him.” Schiffmann’s point of trusting and following one another was very clear on stage. No matter what one of the performers did or what came out of the fish bowl, the others went along with it without even thinking. But how do they do it? How do these performers not only improvise their lines, but their choreography, their music, their costumes and their well-structured plot? Since it is improvised comedy, there is no rehearsal time other than constant rhyming games, jabs at each other and often practiced skits from left-over suggestions. However, although it may seem impossible, Rabbai said it’s like any other craft: it just takes practice. “It’s really about practice,” she said. “Like when you think about sports, basketball for instance. Those play-ers practice the skills of dribbling, passing, shooting, running and they exercise all of those muscles, then they utilize all of those muscles in the game.” “They just don’t know how the game’s going to play out,” Schiffmann added. The analogy of a basketball team fits the cast rather well, as this spe-cific showing has been in production for roughly the past five years and all cast members must act and feel like

a team. However, all cast members do operate independently from time to time. Rabbai has been acting for years, appearing in numerous works as well as performing voice-overs for video games, anime and numerous other mediums. Schiffmann has also acted for some time, perform-ing with Chicago City Limits for over seven years. Their co-stars, Robert Grant and Rob Schiffmann, have spent a lifetime in the business as well; Grant is a significant role in a production company called The Col-lective and Rob Schiffman has been performing improv for over 17 years, much of which included performing with Chicago City Limits. Although all of the stars have acted on their own, Annie Schiffman and Rabbai said improvised comedy and Broadway’s Next H!T Musical is defi-nitely where their hearts are. “We all do work in the industry, but this is the one thing that unites all of us,” Rabbai said. “We love doing it, it’s our passion.” The audience seemed to love it, too. One attendee left saying she was going to tell all of her friends. Another made it a point to tell the performers he grinned so much his cheeks hurt. Even University President Mary Ellen Mazey was in attendance with a large party of Uni-versity supporters. “I thought it was excellent. I’ve always loved improv,” she said. Mazey’s party also seemed to enjoy themselves, as she said they were still singing the songs as they came out of the doors of the Donnell Theatre. By the end of the night, the audi-ence was blown away by the “criti-cally acclaimed” hits “I Love Bacon,” “World Cup Frenzy,” “Sweet and Sour,” and, of course, the phony award winner “Mammalian Protu-berances” from the award-winning show “You’re Ugly.” You just can’t make this stuff up.See http://www.broadwaysnexthit-musical.com/ for further informa-tion about the cast and future tours.

As college students, we often drown ourselves in schoolwork throughout each semester. Because of this, we tend to look forward to summer to have some extra free time and, most impor-tantly, time to finally relax. For me, nothing is more relaxing than creating art. I crave the ability to completely lose my thoughts into a paint-brush. I become embodied within my art, and in that very moment, nothing else matters. It’s such a free feeling when you’re able to create something of your own. As crazy as it may sound, it is essentially my escape from every-thing that is happening in my life. This past week I visited a won-derful place called In 2 Art Studio,

which catered to my artistic hand and my need for relaxation. In 2 Art Studio has a wall com-pletely filled with a variety of dif-ferent ceramic pieces, which range from $15 to $70, available for a “paint your own pottery” session. So, if you’re as indecisive as I am, you may be standing at the wall for a while trying to decide on a ceramic piece to paint. After choosing a ceramic piece and the colors you wish to paint it, the magic begins. Music plays lightly in the background and all your focus is directed to your piece. The studio has a relaxing atmosphere for the customers, allowing art to become the center of it all. Even if you’re not the most artistic person, the owner, artist and instructor Dawn Randall is there to provide you with any

help you may need. Randall is a licensed Ohio Visual Arts teacher and has her bachelor’s in education and her master’s in art education. With that being said, I encour-age you to relax while expressing your creativity at the studio. In 2 Art Studio is located at 122 W. South Boundary Suite F in Perrysburg, Ohio. The hours of the studio range—see website for specific details.

Summertime brings a lot of different festivals cel-ebrating just about anything you can think of. Surviving any summer festival can be a breeze when you take steps to prepare before heading out.

Getting prepared by checking out the festival’s websites for general rules, possible fees, times of events and what is allowed at the festival is a great start. Here are some helpful tips to having a smooth, enjoyable time at any type of festival.

Pack light and prepare the night before. Most festivals start early in the morning. Being in a hurry leads to disaster—items can easily slip your mind as you get anxious to hit the road so that you miss heavy traffic. While preparing, only pack the essentials and your back will thank you at the end of the day. Pack water to help keep yourself hydrated along with some snacks. This will help save some money by avoiding high-priced food

that will still leave you feeling hungry.Applying sunscreen before you leave is impor-

tant, but make sure to also bring it with you. If the weather is expected to be super hot, you will want to reapply the sunscreen often as you will sweat if off. Sunglasses and a hat can help protect you from the sun as well. If the weather calls for rain, bring some Ziploc bags to keep your belongings in to keep them from becoming soaked. Lastly, it’s going to be a long day so remember to pack your phone charger.

Don’t forget to stop by the bank and get some cash, because some vendors might only accept cash. Although a lot of festivals now have ATMs in range, you’ll be stuck paying high fees. Plus, who wants to spend precious time running to get cash? If you want to be thrifty and avoid overspending, leave your credit cards at home and only allow yourself to bring a set amount of cash with you.

Some festivals require a longer drive to get to your destination. It’s smart to bring along an extra set of clothes to change into after the long day. It will be

more comfortable to drive home in fresh, clean pair of clothing instead of your sweat-drenched clothes. As a bonus, if it happens to rain during the festival you will have dry clothing you can fall back on.

Another thing to consider is that vendors are notorious for giving away free items. Think before you start grabbing. Only take what you actually will find useful in the future. It will be less to carry around all day and less to put away when you get home.

Most importantly, don’t stress! Make the most of the festival by having fun. Try staying away from social media outlets for the day and focus on taking in as much as you can at the festival. If you are going with friends, pick a designated area to meet if you happen to get separated. This way, you won’t have to worry about bad cell service, uncharged batteries or other misfortunes.

Here are a couple of summer festivals that you don’t want to miss:

Vans Warped Tour

This festival features around 100 bands per tour stop. BMX and skate demos can also be watched throughout the day. The band lineups change every day, so make sure you get to the festival early to see your favorite acts. This one-day music festival will be making three stops around the area this week.

Bowling Green Hotspots Series In 2 Art Studio

Recently, one of my old-est friends reached out to me to meet her for din-ner. Although I agreed to meet, I was regretting that decision entirely as the day and time became closer and closer. I had this dreadful feel-ing of seeing her. I knew exactly how our meet would go. We would sit down, talk about her and how much life is un-fair to her and that’s it. I wouldn’t hear from her again until life is unfair to her once more. See, that’s the thing—our friendship revolved around her and her life only. I would hear about some of the good, but mostly the bad. It was like each time I would hear from her, I felt her sucking the life out of me. As I was trying to un-derstand my awful feel-ings about her, I be-gan to realize that our friendship had become too toxic to repair. A toxic friend, for me personally, is someone who doesn’t understand that a friendship is a two-way street. It’s someone who is so self-absorbed

that it causes the friend-ship to become one-sided. It’s someone who drains you emotionally and mentally and is flat-out no good for you. Although I was able to understand that our friendship was toxic, a part of me just couldn’t let it go. She has been my friend for over 15 years. She’s been around for all of my highs and many of my lows. Although it’s mostly bad times lately, I can still remember all the good times we had. I just can’t see myself not being friends with

her, but when is enough really enough? When will I finally stop putting myself through this? I’ve asked myself this question plenty of times, because each time I find it extremely hard to let go of our friendship: but lately, I feel like I’m con-stantly compromising my own happiness for hers and that’s not what I should be doing. In any relationship, including friendships, it’s important to under-stand that there will al-ways be some ups and some downs and there will be times where one person will need the support and love more than the other, but it should always be a mu-tual giving. A healthy friendship allows both people to change and grow to-gether. If your friend-ship seems to be hold-ing you down and draining you from your happiness, maybe the friendship has truly run its course.

They say that college is the time of your life when you are supposed to go out and enjoy all of the places and activities you want to see and ex-perience before life takes over and it becomes too late. Every one of us has that one place where we have always desired to go, where we create new memories to cherish and look back on with a smile on our face as time passes us by all too fast. Luckily, I have found that college has served as the gateway that has allowed me to travel to new places and go on many new adventures. One of the most note-worthy places that I got to experience this with was when I moved out to Colo-rado last summer. I worked as a day camp counselor at the YMCA of the Rockies through the Leadership Training program offered by h2o Church. This was the first time I lived a far distance from home and it was a far cry from living on a campus only thirty minutes away. Even though I was home-sick on occasion, and I

struggled with my job as a day camp counselor, I still loved the thrill of being in a new place and teaching myself how to grow and handle situa-tions in my own way that worked for me. I have realized upon my many reflections on that summer in Colo-rado that every college student should live far away and on their own at some point to learn more about themselves in new environments that are different from at home. I am happy to know that I will not be walking in my gradu-ation gown next year knowing that I passed

up an opportunity to go away for a while, to be my own person in my own atmosphere, while still doing something that had a purpose: which, at the time, was working an education-related job to build up my resume. Whether it is an internship or a temporary summer job, college students need to jump on the opportunity to do their own thing in a new place. After all, even if we college students move away for our first job, it might not necessarily be where our first choice is. But we will still at least take it because we are just that desperate to get a job in a time where falling into unemploy-ment seems inevitable. Luckily, you can at least have the memory and the lack of regret if you choose to live a period of time in a new place—one that you might not get a chance to experi-ence once your life in the real world truly be-gins after walking down the aisle at graduation.

Just after noon EST on Friday, July 11, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert received a telephone call from Rich Paul, the agent to LeBron James. The call was short and sweet—Paul simply said, “Dan, congratulations. LeBron is coming home.”

What soon followed was a Sports Illustrated exclusive story, in which LeBron and Lee Jenkins wrote a let-ter detailing the superstar’s decision to leave Miami. Ten days after the begin-ning of free agency and right in the middle of “Free Slurpee Day,” James dropped the news that shocked every-one. The King is returning home to Cleveland, eager to reign supreme.

The decision to leave Miami and return to Cleveland was not one with-out much thought for James, who until Thursday said he hadn’t made up his mind. It was even pointed out by James that “after the season, free agency wasn’t even a question.” Well now, free

agency was the answer. Not many peo-ple, including myself at first, believed that this would or could even be pos-sible. James, with some help from Paul, made it possible.

The duo let teams know that James would be considering his options. They forced the Cavaliers, without a com-mitment, to make sure they would have room for a max contract. Gilbert put aside his past feelings about James leav-ing the team four years ago and obliged. It was just that, the uncertainty, which made this all so exciting. It took time for teams to understand what their next move was going to be because of James and his pending decision. Top tier free agents like Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh would not make a move until they knew where James would be play-ing next year. The more time he spent thinking about his decision, the clearer it was where he would go.

Sports Center broke stories of how James wanted to come home to contin-ue his charity work and to be the one to give Cleveland the thing that has been

e s c a p -ing them for so many years: a cham-pionship. It has been fifty years since the Clevelanders last felt like the best. Its been fifty years since Cleveland has won a championship in any major sport.

So, as the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare for battle, they are the center of attention because of their returning self-made King. We won’t know the sum of all these moves for the Cavs, but until tip-off come October, none of that matters. At

l e a s t , f o r

now, they can enjoy the

moment. As for LeBron James, he knows

there is work to be done. He knows that this young core of Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins and Dion Waiters is ready to put in the work. He knows that Cleveland is ready, and so is he. The fans will be expecting a championship in Ohio within the next three years. Until that moment comes, fans can soak up the glory of their hero coming home.

The University chapter of Not In Our Town discussed the NIOT national gathering and collaboration with other city organizations during its meeting last Thursday.

NIOT hosted a national gathering in Billings, Mont., which members of the cam-pus and city attended.

Forty-six cities around the country attended the gathering, Vicky Kulike, equi-ty officer and co-chair of NIOT, said.

Campus Police Chief Monica Moll attended and said she initially didn’t want to go because she was busy, but doesn’t regret attending.

“Once I got there, I was happy I went,” she said.

One of the things Moll learned dur-ing the meeting was the importance of being “proactive.” This means focusing efforts on preventing incidents like the racially charged tweets in 2013 from happening in the first place, rather than having to respond to such incidents if they do happen.

City Planning Director Heather Saylor said while learning about the stories of different cities, events like the Oak Creek shooting in 2012 could happen in any city.

Moll mentioned one of the arguments against NIOT in cities is that it can put a negative mark on a city: a sign that racism is a problem. However, she said many towns at the gathering never had problems with

racism, but embraced NIOT to show they were against hatred.

“It’s not a political movement,” Moll said. “Everyone should be able to embrace [NIOT].”

At the end of the event, Kulike said stu-dents from the University were chosen to finish it. She said she was proud of the city and its students for being chosen.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our stu-dents for coming along,” she said.

Dana Nemeth, director of the Wood County Historical Center, attended the meeting to discuss collaboration with NIOT.

She mentioned that the city has a history of KKK activity and could possibly host an exhibition about them.

During the meeting it was decided that NIOT would endorse the campus Women’s Center in its Professional Development Series, which will discuss problems for women and members of the LGBT com-munity.

The issue of “sexist signs” on Wooster Street during move-in weekend was also discussed. Kulike said NIOT is working with the mayor and University president to encourage people to take down the signs.

She mentioned one course of action could be to send letters to residents about being “good neighbors” and not putting the signs up.

“It’s still very forefront and center,” Kulike said. “[It’s] something that’s very much on the radar.”

Not In Our Town explores future plans

in team building and other types of events on the weekends. Moreover, students have the opportunity to apply the math and science concepts that they learn in their classes in the nightly activities to stay proactive with their learning. For example, Brahier said that students attended a Mud Hens game on Thursday night and that they had also done a simulation in class beforehand to learn probability and relate it to what they would see at the game. A showcase event will be held to com-plete the students’ four-week journey with the program on August 1. Students will be assigned to create a poster regarding their favorite program session and then they will have their posters displayed at the event in Olscamp Hall for parents, faculty and staff to view. Students will be awarded a certificate of completion and recognized with their parents at the showcase to close out the program for the summer. Students can anticipate becoming a part

of the ACTION program upon completing the Summer Bridge Program a few weeks before classes begin in the fall. “Math and Science Education in ACTION is a four-year scholarship pro-gram but it is so much more,” Stand-inger said. “From the moment scholars arrive on campus until they graduate, ACTION is involved in helping them grow to become exceptional math and/or science teachers.” The Summer Bridge Program gives in-coming freshman a temporary experience of the next phase of their lives as college students, and they can use that experi-ence to help them succeed in their first year while being surrounded by a support system of peers and staff that will be with them on campus. “There’s a family feeling among the group,” Brahier said. “It’s kind of a school

within a school.”
