EVENTS

Milwaukee Paranormal Conference Will Bring Ultimate Halloween Season Experience October 14-16 Jason Derulo Brings Hits Such As “Wiggle,” “Trumpets” And “Want To Want Me,” While Bishop Briggs Is Rising With Her Current Hit “River.”

Get ready to wiggle. Jason Derulo will headline Pantherfest 2016 on Friday, Sept.

9, at the Marcus Amphitheater. Bishop Briggs will open the show.

Bringing R&B and hip-hop influences to the pop genre, Derulo is known for hits including “Wiggle,” “Trumpets” and “Want to Want Me.” The 26-year-old has sold more than 50 million singles worldwide and racked up over two billion views on YouTube and one billion plays on Spotify.

Indie pop artist Bishop Briggs will open the show. The British-born musician began writing music at age 7. Her hit single “River” is getting lots of airplay on radio this summer.

Prior to the 7 p.m. concert, students are invited to attend the Panther Street Festival, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. at the UWM Fountain Courtyard near Curtin Hall and Golda Meir Library. This free event will have activities including inflatables, henna tattoo artists, caricature artists and lawn games. Music will be provided by a DJ, and food will be provided by local restaurants.

Beginning at 5:30 p.m., students may board shuttles from the Panther Street Festival to the Marcus Amphitheater on the grounds of Summerfest. Shuttles will also provide transportation back to campus after the concert.

Pantherfest festivities will open with live music provided by Milwaukee electronic duo Antics.

Pantherfest and Panther Street Festival are planned and run by UWM students.

The Pantherfest Working Group began its work in April, continuing throughout the summer. Students worked in task groups on marketing, event support, Street Fest, artist selection and patron experience to make UWM’s biggest event of the year come to life.

“Pantherfest is planned by a group of students who are passionate about both UWM and music,” Working Group student co-chair Taylor Halvorsen said. “The students on the artist selection group analyze survey feedback from students and narrow it down based on availability and budget, make offers to artists and hope that they’ll be accepted. The student planners do what they can to get the best artists for UWM, but when it comes down to it, it depends on whether or not the artists will accept our offers. Overall, students make this whole event happen with their hard work and dedication to Pantherfest and to UWM.”

NEW MURAL TO TELL MIGRANT WORKERS’ MILWAUKEE STORIES uwm news

Migrant workers came to Milwaukee from Mexico more than 50 years ago, changing the city with their struggle for fair housing, jobs, education and health services.

They also helped create United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS), one of Wisconsin’s leading advocacy organizations for people lacking adequate employment opportunities and social services.

Their legacy and the 50-year history of UMOS are being honored with a mural and oral history project involving students, artists, historians and a documentarian. Many of the students working on the project are Latino, and lead artist Raoul Deal said the mural will serve as a point of pride for the students and the community where it will be displayed.

“A knowledge of this history is going to benefit them in a number of ways,” said Deal, a senior lecturer in the Department of Art and Design at the Peck School of the Arts. “It kind of grounds them; they know where they came from.”

As part of the project, documentary filmmaker Cris Siqueira has been interviewing some of the Mexican-American immigrant leaders – most of them now in their 70s.

The activists helped grow UMOS from an office in Waukesha to one of Wisconsin’s leading nonprofits for employment and educational, health and housing opportunities. The agency also operates in Minnesota, Missouri and Texas.

Students are transcribing the interviews conducted by Siqueira and others. The oral histories will be housed in UWM Libraries’ Archives Department, and the finished film will be available on a web site dedicated to the project.

Deal, who trains students to work in community art, said he was deeply moved by the migrant workers’ stories.

“The migrants started in the humblest of beginnings, and rose to heights through a life of meaning,” he said. “What an incredible example for all of us, especially youth who are struggling today.”

One of the organizers highlighted in the mural is Jesus Salas, who worked alongside Milwaukee civil rights leaders like Father James Groppi. Just a few years after Groppi and other Milwaukee residents demonstrated for 200 nights in a row for fair housing, Salas and other Latino student activists took over the UWM chancellor’s office to demand greater access to higher education for Latino students.

“We wanted to engage the departments and we wanted them to know what we were doing,” Salas said in his interview for the project. “We wanted them to focus on what we were doing and to help us. … How do we provide financial aid to people who are undocumented? You know, those were some of the issues.”

That protest led to the formation of what is now the Roberto Hernández Center at UWM. The center provides academic services to promote Latino student success at the university and in the community.

Michael Carriere, a historian and associate professor of general studies at Milwaukee School of Engineering, came up with the idea of honoring UMOS and its early members. He reached out to Deal because of Deal’s interest in community art.

“It’s been a real joy for me, and I’ve learned a lot about the history that we discovered when we started talking to people,” Deal said. “It’s my belief that stories are important, but they’re only important to people who hear them. And this is a good story, and it ought to be told.”

The project has been carried out by a new partnership between UWM and ArtWorks for Milwaukee, a local nonprofit organization that hires high school students to learn transferrable skills while working on art projects. ArtWorks has been creating public art in the city since 2001. The UMOS project is ArtWorks’ largest mural to date, with interns from 10 high schools working on it.

“It was fun to meet amazing people,” said Fatuma Mohamed, a junior at Rufus King International School. “To do this” – she gestured to the mural – “and raise awareness for our cause.”

Additional support came from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the Wisconsin mural>>page 13

UW-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools Partnership Receives $2.4 Million Grant The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Milwaukee Public Schools have received a $2.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to improve the teaching of mathematics and science in Milwaukee public high schools.

The five-year project, the Milwaukee Master Teacher Partnership, will run from fall 2016 to summer 2021.

The partnership will engage 25 teachers with masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees across MPS high schools in personalized professional development and classroom-based research.

This effort will strengthen the professional capacity of high school mathematics and science teachers and create a new generation of teacher leaders in science and mathematics,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Steele, the project leader. He is an associate professor of mathematics education and chair of the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at UWM. The collaboration between the university and the schools will help foster content knowledge, teaching skills and development of teacher leaders in mathematics and science, said Steven Akin, mathematics and science manager for MPS. Teachers involved in the project will select areas of interest related to mathematics and science teaching to study with UWM content experts. After designing and implementing classroom activities related to that area of study, teachers will receive â&#x20AC;&#x153;badges,â&#x20AC;? also known as micro-credentials, for their achievements.

Teachers will also work with university faculty and MPS district leaders to analyze their classroom practice and lead professional development workshops for other mathematics and science teachers in the district and state. Participating teachers receive funds for classroom equipment, salary stipends and travel subsidies to present their work at state and national education conferences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This collaborative effort in the areas of mathematics and science is absolutely critical to Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future,â&#x20AC;? UWM Chancellor Mark Mone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aim is to bolster the professional capacity of high school mathematics and science teachers, teacher effectiveness in the classroom, and student learning in our urban schools.â&#x20AC;?

Said MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong mathematics and science skills are fundamental to our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success. Building on the existing skills for our teachers is critical to ensuring our young people have the tools and skills they need.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to Steele and Akin, other UWM faculty and MPS professionals involved in the project are: Barbara Bales, associate professor of Curriculum & Instruction and director of the Center for New & Professional Educators Craig Berg, professor of science education and director of MACSTEP (Milwaukee Collaborative Science and Mathematics Teacher Education Program) Anja Blecking, assistant professor of chemistry/biochemistry Laura Maly, MPS mathematics specialist Mary Mooney, MPS mathematics specialist Rochelle Sandrin, MPS science curriculum specialist

Created with acrylic paint on material made for parachutes, it will be affixed to an exterior wall of the Butters-Fetting building in Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point neighborhood.

UWM senior Cinthia Tellez said the activists taught her how progress can come with commitment.

We learned about the divisions among minorities that we used to have in Milwaukee,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you see more inclusion. They found their struggle no less important than that of others.â&#x20AC;?

NEWS

FOR UWM COACH LAVALL JORDAN, uwm news

family matters

LaVall Jordan’s life changed on a Wednesday night at a suburban Milwaukee Outback Steakhouse. His wife, Destinee, was calming down the couple’s three children when Jordan received a phone call from UWM Chancellor Mark Mone. It took her only a few minutes to realize the significance.

“He got this big grin, and he looked me in the eye,” she remembers. “I knew then that he was offered the position.”

The job in question was head coach of UWM’s men’s basketball team, leading a program whose history dates to 1896.

Jordan had been a top assistant at the University of Michigan for six years, coaching the Wolverines in five NCAA Tournaments and the 2013 national title game, with prior stops at the University

of Iowa a n d Butler University.

He’d graduate d as the winningest player in Butler history and was about to move into a top coaching job days before his 37th birthday.

“It happens fast,” he says.

What happened next went even faster.

Jordan shared the news with Michigan head coach John Beilein, who reminded him that he was ready and told him to have fun. He met with UWM Athletic Director Amanda Braun the next morning,

April 8, when his hiring became official.

Phone calls and text messages from former colleagues, players and teammates poured in. By Friday morning, he was on UWM’s campus, meeting Panthers players and getting to work.

At a news conference that afternoon, he stood behind a lectern decked out in his new school’s colors, a gold necktie accenting his black suit. Destinee, their children and Jordan’s parents, Nate Mitchell and Karen Jordan, were in the front row.

Karen Jordan has lived in Milwaukee for more than a decade. When a reporter asked her son about that, she answered the question for him. A brief conversation between mother and son ensued, with him playfully concluding: “What we’re not gonna do is give her the microphone.”

After the news conference, the new face of Panthers basketball recorded a video message for UWM fans, introducing himself as Coach Val. “We’re happy to be in Milwaukee, and we’re thrilled to be Panthers,” he said, surrounded by Destinee and daughters Ava, Alanna and Adalynn. They were all smiles as he made sure Panthers fans knew each by name.

Yes, for Coach Val, family matters.

LaVall Jurrant-Lige Jordan grew up in the small, south-central Michigan town of Albion, a working-class enclave where he was one of 107 students in his high school graduating class. He was the

star guard on Albion High School’s 1997 state finalist team, which lost the title to future NBA champion Shane Battier’s powerhouse from Detroit Country Day. Jordan played that game wearing a face mask to protect a broken nose. Challenges and underdog labels are nothing new.

He was raised by family in the broadest sense, not just by mom and dad, but also by an aunt and uncle, grandmother and grandfather. At various points during his upbringing, Jordan lived with them all. Each had an impact in different ways, and all held him accountable.

“I had to do certain things to be able to have freedom,” Jordan says. “If I didn’t do them, I didn’t get the freedom.” And if his grades weren’t good enough, he would not play basketball.

His uncle, Lige Ridley, insisted on driving him to classes every morning rather than let him take the school bus.

His aunt, Jetha Jeffers, was a landlord who had him mow lawns and tend gardens at her properties, often ending his procrastination with a simple statement: The dreading is worse than the doing. “I tell that to my daughters now,” Jordan says.

Always implicit was the message that Jordan’s actions represented his family, and that his accomplishments, or mistakes, reflected on his community. It’s a lesson he carried with him to Butler and beyond.

In many ways, Butler is where Jordan became the man he is today. Not just be-

cause of basketball, important though it was. He won 91 games there from 19972001, more than any previous Butler player, and went 9-0 against then-league rival UWM. In 2001, he led the Bulldogs to their first NCAA Tournament victory in 39 years, and later, Butler’s Todd Lickliter gave Jordan his first coaching gig.

But the biggest impact Butler had on Jordan was personal: It’s where he met Destinee. “He says I was his best recruiting job ever,” she explains.

They were introduced by mutual friends in 2001, just three weeks before he was to go play pro basketball in Europe. She was initially skeptical of a relationship, but Jordan made quite an impression during those 21 days. On the day he left for Europe, he told her he loved her, and in between a string of phone calls and emails, she flew overseas for a visit. Their love lasted through his pro season in Europe and his return to the United States to begin coaching. They married in June 2004.

Both adjusted to the lifestyle inherent in the coaching profession, one marked by relentlessly busy work schedules and unusual demands on personal time. “I remember coming home one time,” Jordan

says, “and I don’t know what I was saying, but she told me, ‘I’m not one of your players. You don’t need to coach me.’”

Their family grew with his coaching career, first at his alma mater, then at Iowa from 200710, and then on to Michigan. While Jordan was on the bench as Michigan played for a national title in 2013, Destinee was in the stands with daughter Adalynn, who was only 3 months old. “We joke all the time,” Destinee says, “that he has sons in his job and the ladies at home.”

“You do,” Jordan admits, “end up with two families. You have your basketball family, and your family at home.” But, he says, they need not remain separate entities. “You merge them.”

The evidence is right there on his phone. He holds it up and goes to his photo gallery, swiping through the snapshots. There is a scene from that April dinner, taken minutes before Mone called with the job offer. Other photos show the basement of his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where All-Big Ten Wolverines point guard Derrick Walton Jr. is reading books with Jordan’s children.

The connections stretch across every

What Not To Do In A Job Interview Everyone will give you advice about how to conduct yourself in an interview.

Be yourself, dress professionally and so on. But what about what you should not say or do in an interview. Here are ways you can screw up an interview.

Arrive late and unprepared When arriving to an interview do not come even one minute late. You should be at least 5 minutes early; this gives the person interviewing you a good first impression. When an interviewer ask you â&#x20AC;&#x153;what do know about the company?â&#x20AC;? you should chime right in.

Trash talking your former employer This is one of the most common mistake one does while explaining why they left there former job. You should always focus on the positives of your previous

working environment. Always portray that you left under good terms.

Bringing your cell phone A big mistake many have made is forgetting to turn off there cell phone or turning it on vibrate mode. Distracting noises can disconnect you with the person interviewing you and make them think you are not focused on your future employment with that company.

Leave your cell phones in the car or at home to avoid bringing in with you.

Being fuzzy on your facts Even though you have your typed up resume, an employer will ask you your work history and other information on your former job. Having to think before you answer sends a message that you are not on top of things. Look over your information on dates of your graduation and former employment.

Dressing inappropriately is a no brainer!

Bad eye contact and fidgeting When you have bad eye contact and you fidget while your interviewer is talking, you are really not interested in what they have to say. It can also show a lack of confidence. When hiring someone, an employer wants t o make sure

you are interested in what you are going to be doing, and not just applying at that company until something better comes along.

Not Asking Questions Start asking questions. You want them to think you are interested in learning more about what your duties will be and how you might be able to advance if you stay with the company. Keep focused on important questions that are more about business and not about money.

Finally, always thank your interviewer for meeting with you.

Perfecting an interview is all about getting yourself mentally prepared before you meet with your potential new employer. Make sure you practice the night before and use these helpful hints to make your new interview a success.

Milwaukee Volleyball Kicks Of 2016 Season mkepanthers.com The Milwaukee volleyball team kicks off the 2016 season Friday by hosting the Pepsi Panther Invitational. UWM will open things up at 12:30 on Friday by taking on Bradley before a 7:30 pm match against Akron. The Panthers close out this year’s tournament on Saturday with a 1 pm contest against Western Illinois.

• Scouting Notebook The Panthers have plenty of history with each of this weekend’s opponents.

Bradley holds a slim 8-7 lead in the alltime series, claiming a five-set win in the last meeting back in 2012. The Braves enter this season with a new head coach as Carol Price-Torok taking over after spending the past eight seasons as associate head coach at Arkansas. Milwaukee holds a 5-2 lead over Akron headto-head, winning most recently 3-1 at Akron’s home tournament in 2013. The Zips return 11 letterwinners from last year’s team that went 8-21. Meanwhile, Western Illinois and UWM have not met since 1996, with the Leathernecks holding a 6-3 lead in the series.

• Young Panthers Susie Johnson has quite a few newcomers on this year’s Panther squad with many figuring to play key rolls this season. In fact, Milwaukee sports one of the youngest teams, not only in the Horizon League but in the entire country. With seven true freshman and only five upperclassmen, making them by far the youngest team in the conference this year.

• She Can Dig It Myanna Ruiz moved from outside to libero last season and made a seamless transition. In fact, the senior’s average of 4.99 digs per set was just shy of a single-season school record - with Lauren Felsing’s mark of 5.04 back in 2008 currently the top mark. Additionally, Ruiz finished in the top-10 in total digs for a season with 57 - just 66 shy of the single season. Felsing is also the record-holder in that category with 645, also in 2008.

• All-Horizon League Myanna Ruiz and Maddie Williams each were awarded All-Horizon League honors last year. Ruiz was named to the All-League Team after leading Milwaukee with an outstanding 579 digs this season for an average of 4.99 digs/set.

Meanwhile, Williams earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team. The newcomer from Normal, Ill. has appeared in all 30 matches last season, making 27 starts.

She wass second on the team in kills with 251 and first on the team in blocks with 69, with both of those figures ranking in the top-10 in program history for a freshman.

• For Starters The 2016 season marks the 44th season of Milwaukee Panther volleyball and the 27th at the Division-I level. UWM has won five of its last six season openers dating back to 2010 and is 5-4 alltime in openers under head coach Susie Johnson. Milwaukee will look to tip the scales in the right direction on Friday, currently holding an even 13-13 record in season openers since moving to the DI ranks in 1990.

• Panther Invitational History While it has gone through some name changes over the years, this year marks the 18th running of the Pepsi Panther Invitational and the 16th time in the last 18 years Milwauke has hosted its own tournament. UWM has had plenty of success while bringing in some of the best teams in the nation to its court, going 39-20 since the move to Division I, including posting a perfect record five times.

• Hitting The Century Mark Myanna Ruiz reached a milestone mark last year when she collected her 1,000th dig during her Milwaukee career. Ruiz achieved the memorable feat Oct. 10th at UIC, becoming the 12th player in program history to reach the remarkable accomplishiment.

• Gimme Five Milwaukee played in some thrilling matches last season, with 10 of their 30 total matches going the full five sets.

That marked the second-highest total for a single season and was just one shy of the school record of 11 set back in 1998.

• Its Good To Be Home When it comes to home court advantage, Milwaukee has proven to make the Klotsche Center one of the toughest places to play. The Panthers posted a 7-4 mark last year to up their home record to 82-28 under head coach Susie Johnson, good for a winning percentage of .745.

Here’s Milwaukee’s year-by-year home record under Johnson: 2015: 7-4 2014: 9-3 2013: 8-1 2012: 5-7 2011: 12-2 2010: 10-4 2009: 8-4 VOLLEY>>page 19

Panthers To Play First Game On Newly Designed Floor On Nov. 11

MILWAUKEE ANNOUNCES NEW PANTHER ARENA COURT DESIGN

mkepanthers.com Milwaukee unveiled its new design for the playing surface at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena today.

The new look incorporates the official Milwaukee logo at center court and the Horizon League logo is displayed at each free throw line. The frame of the court is black and features “Panthers” in gold lettering with white trim on each baseline underneath the baskets, while three gold panther claw marks will be visible on each side of the midcourt stripe.

On the sideline in front of the Milwaukee bench is “MKEPanthers.com” which is the Milwaukee Athletics website, while the sideline across from the visiting team bench has “James R Mueller Family” in script. UWM alum Jim Mueller (’79) committed a matching gift challenge in June with funds to go toward the refurbishing of the floor and the renovation of the men’s basketball locker room at Panther Arena.

The process of rebranding the court should last about a month and be completed by mid-September. Crews from Schmidt Flooring have already begun the process of sanding the floor to remove the current design.

Fans were able to provide feedback via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on three different floor designs beginning in late July and the final design was chosen by a combination of fan feedback and Milwaukee athletics department staff members.

Milwaukee will play its first game on the newly designed court on Nov. 11 when it opens the 2016-17 men’s basketball regular season versus MSOE at Panther Arena.

Season tickets, which start at $65, are on sale now. Call the Milwaukee Athletics Ticket Office at (414) 229-5886 or email uwmtix@uwm.edu for more information.

RS COFFEE LOVE

In fact, coffee might even help the heart, especially for women, the researchers found.

“Our results suggest that long-term, regular coffee consumption does not increase the risk of death and probably has several beneficial effects on health,” said lead researcher Dr. Esther Lopez-Garcia, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Autonoma University in Madrid, Spain.

Her team published its findings in the June 17 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Lopez-Garcia stressed that the findings may only hold true only for healthy folk.

“People with any disease or condition should ask their doctor about their risk, because caffeine still has an acute effect on short-term increase of blood pressure,” she said.

In the study, the Spanish team looked at the relationships between coffee drinking and the risks of dying from heart disease, cancer, or any cause in almost 42,000 men who participated in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and more than 84,000 women who had participated in the Nurses’ Health Study. At the study start, all participants were free of heart disease and cancer.

The participants completed questionnaires every two to four years, including information about their coffee drinking, other dietary habits, smoking and health conditions. The research team looked at the frequency of death from any cause, death due to heart disease, and death due to cancer among people with different coffee-drinking habits, comparing them to those who didn’t drink the brew. They also controlled for other risk factors, including diet, smoking and body size.

The researchers found that women who drank two or three cups of caffeinated coffee daily had a 25 percent lower risk of death from heart disease during the follow-up (from 1980 to 2004) than non-drinkers. Women also had an 18 percent lower death risk from a cause other than cancer or heart disease compared with non-coffee drinkers.

For men, drinking two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily was a “wash” -- not associated with either an increased or a decreased risk of death during the follow up, from 1986 to 2004.

The lower death rate was mainly due to a lower risk for heart disease deaths, the researchers found, while no link was discovered for coffee drinking and cancer deaths. The relationship did not seem to be directly related to caffeine, according to the researchers, since those who drank decaf also had a lower death rate than those who didn’t drink either kind of coffee.

In the past, studies have come up with mixed results on the health effects of coffee, with some finding coffee increased the risk of death and others not.

More recently, research has found coffee drinking linked with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers, and preventing the development of cardiovascular disease, Lopez-Garcia said.

The strength of her current study, she said, includes the large number of participants and long follow-up period.

While the study is interesting, it does have its shortcomings, said Dr. Peter Galier, an internal medicine specialist, former chief of staff at Santa Monica UCLA and Orthopedic Hospital and associate professor of medicine at the University of California Los Angeles’ David Geffen School of Medicine.

Self-reporting is one shortcoming, he said, because people may have under- or over-reported their coffee consumption, for instance.

“I think what this study tells us is not so much that coffee is the answer to everything,” he said. But, rather, that some compounds, such as the antioxidants found in coffee, may be healthy.

Galier’s advice for consumers: “I would tell them to weigh the subjective risk of their coffee consumption,” he said. For instance, “if they love coffee, but it makes them jittery, and they can’t sleep, the need to adjust it,” he said. “Look at your symptoms,” he tells patients. “If decaf is no problem, I wouldn’t put a limit on that.”

The research was funded by grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

This high energy, quirky, punk-pop group incorporates the upbeat grooves of classic punk, ska, funk, and progressive rock into it music. BEAKER injects comedy, crowd interaction/participation, unique lighting, and squirrels into all of it’s shows. It truly is a spectacle to experience.

Front man Carl V. recently told College Lifestyle Magazine that “The whole point of BEAKER is bring the show to the audience not vice versa.” And man can these guys can rock!! Lonn Corona, their guitarist is one of the best around and can shred with the best. Wolf Hentzen, the drummer and newest addition to the band, has the chops and stamina to keep the whole train moving at high speed. These guys are the complete package and leave you gasping for air and wanting more.

Like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/beakermusic, watch their video Squirrel Killer on YouTube and most importantly catch them live. This is not a show to miss!!
