Kenosha Rocks!

Chances are you have attended one of the numerous awesome events going on in Kenosha this summer, or you have enjoyed our
beautiful parks on a fabulous day - while there, did something catch you eye? Did something just not look right over there by that
tree… what could it be? ‘Is it garbage?’ you might think. Being a good samaritan, you go over to investigate and realize it is a rock -
gorgeously painted and left there for you to find. You turn it over and painted on the rock are the words “Post on FB - Kenosha Rocks
- Keep or re-hide.” What is this all about?

Well it is a trend which has been popping up in cities across the US - local artists of all ages and talents paint rocks and place them out
in public for others to find in a community game. They simply ask that you take a photo of the rock when your find it and post the pic and
tell them where your found it on the Facebook group - “Kenosha Rocks!” - then either re-hide it somewhere else, or take it home as a gift - it’s your choice.

The idea is simple - decorate rocks that you find in nature with whatever you want and them hide them in various locations all over Kenosha. Make sure
your artwork is appropriate for all ages, as you have no idea who will find it. Be respectful of private property and businesses and have fun - the last one is
most important - have fun! The Facebook group was created in the summer of 2016, but has grown in popularity each summer since, now with over 12,000
members.We reached out to members of the Kenosha Rocks! group and they happily contributed to our report about the latest fun fad to get people outside
and be creative.

What inspired you to join “Kenosha Rocks!”? Special thanks to (pictured from top left):

which reflects the duration of a childhood – the report found
a 75% reduction in the dropout rate among Hispanic youth,
and a 69% reduction among black youth.

“If you think about education as an equity issue, we had
some progress in changing that gap over the last generation,”
says Mr. Farden. He points to public investments in education,
as well as various movements to encourage teens to stay in
school, as playing a role in driving the sustained reductions.
Additionally, he says,“a high school diploma is a prerequisite”
for a lot of jobs and career paths.

“We are definitely seeing improvement,” says Shanan
Chappell Moots, who serves as director for research analytics
and as a research associate professor in The Center for
Educational Partnerships at Old Dominion University in
Norfolk, Virginia. “Not a whole lot of people talk about
dropout rates anymore.They are definitely on the decline.”

Dr. Moots is also a research fellow with the National
Dropout Prevention Center and has conducted extensive
research on the topic. She attributes the decline in the U.S.
dropout rate to a multitude of factors, especially the greater
availability of training for career, technical, and vocational
skills.

Many practitioners, she says, are also encouraging holistic
support services that could address behavioral, mental health,
and personal challenges that often present obstacles to
academic success and can otherwise lead to a student
dropping out. Still, Dr. Moots sees a continued need,
particularly in communities where high school graduation
rates can be as low as 60%. Graduation rates have grown just
over the past 10 years, she says, “but we want to do better.”

Beyond reducing teen dropout rates, Mr. Farden believes
there can be improvement on both ends of the educational
spectrum: for younger children to enter school at an earlier
age, and for high school graduates to pursue further
education.

“While we have greatly increased high school education,
access to early childhood education has largely remained
stagnant over the last generation,” says Mr. Farden. “There is
more and more of a sense nationally that we have to look at
this continuum of services – the cradle to career continuum.”

Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee,
by Casey Cep

Read by Hillary Huber; Random House Audio; 11 hours and 30 minutes

Harper Lee published “To Kill a Mockingbird” in her early 30s. Its so-
called sequel “Go Set a Watchman,” really the first draft of “Mockingbird,”
was published just before her death in 2016. She produced little else.
Casey Cep’s investigation into her life reveals a multiple murder case that
she planned to turn into a true-crime novel along the lines of “In Cold
Blood,” which she had helped research for her friend Truman Capote.
The project never came to fruition. Here, Cep enables the background of
the murders to flow into an account of Lee’s life and each part is riveting
for both the writing and Hillary Huber’s pleasing and professional
narration, enhanced with regional accents. Grade: A
