recommended, and the pool noodles turned out to be a popular choice among the budding engineers.

To make the event even more memorable, a group of enthusiastic teenagers volunteered to help out. Equipped with kayaks, they retrieved any boats that ventured a little too far from the canal’s edge. While some boats encountered minor setbacks, they were quickly repaired, proving the resilience and ingenuity of the young participants.

TeacherGeek (www.teachergeek. com), a local company dedicated to inspiring and empowering the innovators of tomorrow, donated one of its award-winning Maker Carts to IBiB. The Maker Cart comes complete with over 15,000 components such as gears, rods, frames, motors switches, screws and more. These materials can be used to engage students in over 40 engineering activities, making it an invaluable asset for hands-on learning and creative play.

IBiB’s inaugural makerspace outreach was a resounding success, leaving both the visitors and organizers thrilled with the experience. The event not only showcased the creative potential of the community but also emphasized IBiB’s commitment to providing a space for individuals to explore their creativity through making.

Erica Linden, Village Manager, envisioned the “Create On the Canals” program as an enhancement to the way the village encourages people to experience the canal, traditionally through biking or kayaking. “IBiB was a natural choice to include in the programming, as we are certain having a makerspace on the canal will only add to our community’s placemaking initiatives,” says Linden. “The TeacherGeek donation to IBiB and the overall support this successful business is providing to our new not-for-profit, IBiB, is beyond exciting, it is foundational.”

The makerspace is grateful to TeacherGeek for their generous donation, which will fuel future engagement and innovation at IBiB. Moving forward, IBiB plans to organize more activities using the Maker Cart and continue making a positive impact on the Brockport community.

Erie Canal Learning Hub launched

The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor and the New York State Canal Corporation have launched a new educational initiative, the Erie Canal Learning Hub. The Hub provides free curriculum resources, field trips, virtual 3D tours, and other online tools for teachers and students who are learning about the Erie Canal.

New York State Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton said, “The Erie Canal is an intrinsic part of our state’s history and a vital part of the learning curriculum for New York students. Our Canal system is a great example of history, technology, and science working in tandem to serve New York State, and provides a lens into the innovation and culture that transformed communities far and wide. The Canal Corporation is pleased to help launch the Erie Canal Learning Hub, which will serve as an immersive learning opportunity to educate future generations about an integral part of New York’s legacy.”

Educators in New York State and beyond will find resources to engage students by examining the canal in traditional and new ways, including:

•Virtual 3D Tours with audio-described videos enable students to explore canal locks, bridges, and other structures used to operate the canal.

•Ticket to ride Field Trips bring students to canal museums and historic sites by covering bus and tour fees. Since 2012, more than 55,000 students from 250 schools have participated.

•Document Based Questions incorporate primary source maps, images, and newspapers to help students develop critical thinking skills as they learn about the canal.

•The Seneca Lake Survey Lesson plans draw on recently discovered canal shipwrecks to provide middle and high school students opportunities to study canal history, underwater archeology, water quality, geology, and invasive species in the Finger Lakes.

•Opening the Gates to Change Lesson plan explores the role of the canal in social reform movements and the ways that young people today are finding their voices in the struggle for social justice.

“The Erie Canal Learning Hub is the result of collaborations among educators, curriculum specialists, researchers, museum professionals, and others to develop engaging new approaches to studying the Erie Canal. We are thrilled to be able to expand educational offerings to schools throughout New York and the nation,” said Bob radliff, Executive Director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.

Brockport welcomes new makerspace: fueling creativity and innovation

A new makerspace opened its doors recently and is quickly gaining momentum. Just one month since its inception, It Begins in Brockport (IBiB) has already equipped its space in the Hart Gallery 27 art studio (https://www.hartgallery27.com/) with a variety of tools including 3D printers, an electronics workbench, a laser cutter, and a CNC mill. The makerspace recently received a donation that will expand its offerings to STEM education outreach and creative play.

TeacherGeek (www.teachergeek. com), a local company dedicated to inspiring and empowering the innovators of tomorrow, donated one of its award-winning Maker Carts to IBiB. The Maker Cart comes complete with over 15,000 components such as gears, rods, frames, motors switches, screws and more.

Brockport Symphony Orchestra presents concert at the Morgan-Manning House

The Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present its Outdoor Summer Pops Concert on Sunday, June 25, at 4 p.m. at the Morgan-Manning House, 151 Main Street, Brockport. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family concert will feature vocal artists Mary Wojciechowski and Michael DeLuca.

Wojciechowski, a graduate of Nazareth College and Temple University, has performed as a vocal soloist at the Rochester International Jazz Festival and the Corning Museum of Glass. She appeared with the Philadelphia Pops Festival Chorus under the baton of Peter Nero. DeLuca studied vocal performance with Heinz Rehfuss while attending

the University at Buffalo and has performed on stage across Western New York. He records and produces a variety of albums for the major streaming platforms.

The program includes Broadway and Hollywood favorites, folk songs, and the world premiere of “The Erie Canal Comes to Brockport” by Allentoff. This new work celebrates the Bicentennial of Brockport’s inclusion in the Erie Canal’s route, as a section of the Canal that stretched from the village of Brockport to Albany was opened in 1823.

Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted. The audience is invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

In the case of rain, the concert will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street, Brockport.

This project is made possible with support from the Village of Brockport and funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.

Clay and Christine Beeman founded the Willie Bee Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization, in August of 2017 in memory of their son William Lou Donavon Beeman.

Since 2017, the foundation has expanded to not only helping ease families’ burdens (lawn mowing services, snow plowing contracts, house cleaning, catered meals, help covering expenses associated with traveling for medical care, ipad packages, grocery store gift cards, etc.), but also helping families make memories (Great Wolf Lodge, Jellystone Campground, local cottages, Dave and Busters, etc.). And as of 2023, it began a program titled Will’s Work that allows the foundation to support families whose children are nearing the end-of-life with pediatric palliative care services.

The Father’s Heart

by Joanne Dunsmore

God brought forth man first from the dust of the earth. With the breath of God to survive, man was made alive. Who needed a help mate he would call his bride. The woman God formed from man’s side he did provide. To be flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone, for God said: “It was not good for man to be alone.” The man and the woman lived in God’s garden. From all the trees for food they were given, they ate from the tree God had forbidden. Now banished from the presence of God to flee. Separated from their creator ever would be, but for God’s mercy.

When out of “The Father’s Heart” of compassion he prepared for their salvation before the dawn of creation. Only God himself was able to pay the ransom needed for redemption to be completed, nevermore to be repeated. It was on the cross when, “It is finished,” He had spoken. Restored the fellowship the first man had broken. Now the requital for all mankind was done, for Jesus has said: “I and My Father are one.”

Happy Father’s Day!

Is There a Recreation Home in Your Future?

One-third of the respondents in a recent survey estimated that they had a 50 percent chance or better of buying recreational real estate in this decade. The study suggests rising consumer confidence and the direction of future buying trends. Preferred locations for recreation properties include beach area, lake areas, mountains, the Caribbean and other tropical areas. Less popular sites are golf and ski-related communities and desert locations. Favorite recreational properties are the traditional detached single-family homes or cabins, resort condominiums and vacant parcels of land that can be used for later construction of a second home. Age, marital status, sex, geographic location and income greatly affect prime choices in recreational property. For example, single males have a significantly higher preference for resort condos and vacant land than single females.

The most popular states for second home and recreational purchases are (1) Florida, (2) California, (3) Colorado, (4) North Carolina, (5) Texas, and (6) Arizona.

For professional real estate advice, give me a call, Mary Lobene at 585-734-3362.

a.m. at the Sweden Farmers Museum, 4988 Lake Road. Prior registration is $30 or $35 the day of the race. A free t-shirt is included while supplies last. To register, visit https://brockportharvestfest.itsyourrace.com.

The Sweden 5K race-course is USATF certified (NY22004KL) and will be professionally timed by Race Management Solutions using Jaguar Electronic RFID timing. For more information, contact rhumby@townofsweden.org.

Blood donors needed to help babies

For type O blood donors (either positive or negative), the Red Cross is continuously checking the donated blood for cytomegalovirus. It is a virus that is harmful to newborn babies and preemie babies, but not so much to adults. When the Red Cross checks all O blood type donors they are looking for a CMV Negative result, which is found in less then 20% of all O donors.

The Red Cross notifies the rare individuals who are CMV Negative.

The Red Cross found that CMV Negative is the best donation for newborns to get the best benefit. It is the only type of donation that is sent

to NICU units as a priority for the babies to get first, if possible, before sending it some place else.

People of all blood types are still needed and encouraged to donate. Pediatric cancer patients are eligible to receive all blood types to help along with their chemo treatments.

A blood drive is being held on Wednesday, June 28, from 1 to 6 p.m. at Ferris-Goodridge Post #330, 691 Trimmer Road, Spencerport. Call 1-800-RED-CROSS or go to www. redcrossblood.org to schedule an appointment.

Carriage driving show returning to Batavia June 25

Northampton Driving Society’s 37th annual carriage driving competition returns to Silver Shoe Farm in Batavia on Sunday, June 25. Kacy Tipton-Fashik, the general manager of The Grand Oaks equine resort in Weirsdale, Florida, will be judging the event. David Remley, whose late parents founded the internationallyknown Walnut Hill Driving Competition, will be ringmaster.

Morning classes will feature horses, ponies, very small equines and multiples of the same in the ring for working and reinsmanship classes. These are judged on “turn out” – the pleasing appearance and appropriateness of horse, harness, vehicle and attire – the horse’s obedience and way of going and the driver’s (the “whip”) reinsmanship skills. Afternoon classes will entail driving an

obstacle course of cones, scoring for speed and agility.

Mr. Remley will begin the show with a coach horn demonstration at 9 a.m. Food and shopping opportunities will be provided by Burning Barrel BBQ, Buttercrumbs Bakery, The Brick House Boutique, Rusty Bitz, Green Compass CBD, and Creative Upcycling. Leonard Oakes Estate Vineyard will be hosting a wine-tasting between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Silver Shoe Farm is located at 3336 Pratt Road in Batavia, operated by the well-known Cable family of blacksmiths and Nicole Cable, herself a carriage show competitor, judge and trainer.

Admission is free. Bring lawn chairs for seating. Fancy hats will be admired but are not required. Provided information and photo

Free xylazine test strips available throughout NYS

New York State is taking action to address the spread of xylazine, including a new effort to supply free xylazine test strips through the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports and Office of Mental Health programs, as well as directly to the public.

Xylazine is a non-opioid sedative found in the unregulated drug supply with potentially harmful health impacts, especially when added to illicitly manufactured fentanyl. It is typically used in veterinary settings, and not intended or approved for human use. Xylazine is not responsive to naloxone, leading to complicated fentanyl overdoses, and could cause prolonged, heavy sedation, as well as skin wounds which may require amputation in severe situations. Additional educational information about xylazine is now available on the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports website, https://oasas.ny.gov/xylazine.

The new ordering system will enable providers and New York State residents to order test strips through a partnership with NY MATTERS (https://mattersnetwork.org/harmreduction/), and will ensure an ongoing supply of this important harm-reduction tool across the state. These test strips are designed to detect the presence of xylazine that has been mixed in with other substances, such as cocaine or heroin.

The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) is also making xylazine test strips available to its network of Outreach and Engagement Services providers across the State and through its ongoing training programs. These efforts are being supported through New York State’s Opioid Settlement Fund and through a federal State Opioid Response Grant. To access ordering information, providers can visit the OASAS harm reduction webpage, https://oasas.ny.gov/harm-reduction. Provided information

Spencerport students earn Seal of Biliteracy

Spencerport High School is celebrating 49 students from the Class of 2023 who are being recognized with the New York State Seal of Biliteracy on their graduation diplomas. This designation means that students attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing in one or more languages in addition to English.

The Seal of Biliteracy encourages the study of languages, identifies high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employers, and provides universities with additional information about applicants seeking admission. To earn the seal, students must meet criteria set by the New York State Department of Education to prove language proficiency at the intermediate high level or above, as defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. The students provided evidence to demonstrate their ability to read, write, speak and listen in two languages and gave a presentation in their world language in front of multiple evaluators who then interviewed them in the language. It was an opportunity to show their skills in a language other than English.

Opinion/Comments

Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Assoc. thanks the community

Carnival 2023 has come and gone and the men and women of the Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association couldn’t be more grateful to everyone for your hearty support. Once again our midway was overflowing with people having fun at one of our

largest fundraising events. From enjoying the rides to lining up for some delicious carnival food to time spent in the entertainment tent rocking to the wonderful music, you made our carnival a raging success. Thank you!

Unfortunately, due to the wildfires

in Canada and degrading air quality, we lost our Wednesday night. Our decision wasn’t made lightly and without significant thought. The cancellation was unfortunate but absolutely necessary given the health concerns for our community and the number of outside contacts that had to be made. We appreciate your kind understanding.

We are keenly aware that along with the fun and excitement of the carnival coming to town comes the noise, parking difficulties and litter. We so very much appreciate your patience and understanding of our much needed fundraising efforts. The money raised is used to best maintain your 100% volunteer fire department. We’re proud to serve and we’re ready to go every minute of every day.

We live in an amazing community and we appreciate everyone that attended our carnival and made it fantastic. And, our thanks to the Village of Spencerport DPW for their hard work cleaning the village each day after the event while still doing their other day to day operations.

Sincerely and for the entire membership, Stephen P. Cusenz, Secretary Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Assoc. Board of Directors

Spectacular Carnival and Grand Parade leave attendees thrilled

This past weekend, the Village of Spencerport in the Town of Ogden came alive with vibrant colors, infectious laughter, and the joyful sounds of music as the highly anticipated Spencerport Firemen’s Carnival took center stage. The events proved to be an overwhelming success, attracting thousands of locals and tourists alike who reveled in the festive atmosphere.

The carnival kicked off on Thursday with the Grand Parade. Police cars, fire engines, tractors, performers and much more traversed through the village streets as enthusiastic spectators lined the path. There were colorful displays, sirens, music, candy and yes, even cheeseburgers. All leading to the thrilling display of amusement rides, exciting games, and mouthwatering food.

The lively atmosphere at the carnival grounds was infectious and ran late into the night, all weekend long. It was wonderful to see the entire community come together for such a spectacular, fun-filled event.

The success of the carnival and parade would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of several essential departments.

We owe a great deal of gratitude to the Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association Carnival Committee, led by Association President Chris Damon. Not only did they plan and prepare an incredible event, but they also ensured the safety of each attendee amid unprecedented situations; namely, hazardous air quality brought on by forest fires in Canada. Deciding to err on the side of caution and postpone Wednesday’s activities on the advice of the County Health Department was not an easy decision. That said, we are grateful that their decision put safety first. Luckily, the air quality improved, the skies cleared, and the rest of the show went on as scheduled. They were even able to reschedule the Kiddie Parade for Saturday.

The Ogden Police Department and Special Police Force also did a tremendous job maintaining a safe environment throughout each day of the carnival. Their assistance during the Grand Parade guaranteed the seamless flow of traffic and minimized disruptions for residents and visitors alike. Led by Ogden Police Chief Travis Gray, the planning and preparation for this event was second to none and its implementation led to there

being minimal reports of disruptions.

The Spencerport Fire Department, led by Chief Mitch Flagg, provided another crucial layer of safety during the carnival and parade. Their vigilance and expertise ensured that any potential risks were swiftly addressed, and the event proceeded smoothly without incident. The community owes them a debt of gratitude for their continuous efforts to keep us safe.

In addition to the strong presence of the police and fire departments, our own Ogden Highway Department played a pivotal role in the safety measures taken during the Grand Parade. After the horrific events during the Waukesha Christmas Parade, Ogden Highway Superintendent Dan Wolf implemented a new protocol. In coordination with the Village of Spencerport DPW, he made sure that all side streets leading to the main parade route were protected and blocked by highway vehicles. This additional layer of protection and foresight is vital during the town’s largest event.

As the carnival came to a close, attendees departed with smiles on their faces. The events served as a reminder of the positive spirit that defines our community, and they left us eagerly anticipating next year’s festivities.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this weekend an extraordinary success. Together, we continue to build a stronger community, united in celebration and appreciation for the talents and efforts of all those who contribute to where we call home.

Hilton seventh grade students who received the C.N.W. (Curious,

Non-judgemental, Welcoming) Student of the Month Award in Health class took a special field trip on June 1 to Ontario Beach Park where they helped clean up the beach and area walkways, and learned about Lake Ontario and the Genesee River. The trip aligned with the Merton Williams community service project that aims to educate students about the importance of clean waterways and preserving our most precious natural resource.

Three decades of teaching water aerobics comes to an end

by Tami Raco

Linda Hoffman moved to Hilton in 1966 and graduated from Hilton High School in 1979. She became interested in water aerobics after watching her mom take classes. She began as a student of water exercise in 1991 at Merton Williams school. Little did she know that this decision would lead her to a lifelong career in teaching water aerobics to countless people in the western Monroe County community “I just loved the water class,” said Linda. The only equipment that was

provided enough weight to challenge our muscles,” she recalled.

Linda began teaching the classes in Hilton the fall of 1992 and went on to get her certification for water aerobic instruction in 1997. In 2002, Merton Williams built a new aquatic center with an eight-lane pool, diving well, new bleachers and its own entrance. During the time of this construction, Linda taught at Greece Athena and also taught water aerobics at the Greece YMCA for ten years. “I am well preserved with all that chlorine,” laughed Linda.

She has worked with hundreds of residents from the community and at times she would have more than 40 clients in the pool at one time, which she could manage thanks to her “wing woman,” Jeanne Townsend.

“I was committed to this program to do the best job I could,” said Linda. “The friendships I made have been rewarding.”

Linda would encourage her clients to work a little harder, talk a little less and really work up a sweat. “The veteran students who came back year after year, that would do anything I led them to do, is the real reason why the class lasted so long,” she said. “I was happy to be their drill sergeant,” she chuckled.

Linda officially retired on June 15. “After 30 years of commitment and dedication, this girl is taking a break!” she exclaimed. She is also be retiring in June from her position at Summitview Auto.

“I see more camping and vacationing days in the near future, and maybe taking up gardening and golf. I also miss having a dog so maybe I will get a dog!” Linda and her boyfriend, Jack Yeager, plan to be Florida snowbirds.

As Linda concludes this chapter of teaching water aerobics, she extends her gratitude and appreciation to Hilton Community Education as well as everyone who passed through her class. “We are like an extended family, and I am truly humbled, blessed and enriched for each of you,” she said.

BHS marketing class donates over $1.3K to C.U.R.E Childhood Cancer

Brockport High School (BHS) students taking Sports, Entertainment and Marketing (SEM) put their new skills to the test by organizing and hosting a fundraiser to benefit C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association this spring.

With a goal to raise $1,000 to help raise money and awareness for local children battling cancer, BHS Business Teacher Mark Mutton explained that the fundraiser was created by students who wanted to “go the extra mile” for their final project.

Dubbed the “Brockport Buzz,” four SEM students volunteered to have their heads shaved by local barbers, John Lindsay from Next Level Barbershop and Michelle Gallager from Salon Sage, during a live event on June 12. Mr. Mutton also upped the ante, pledging to shave his head if the class made their $1,000 goal by June 9.

Having exceeded their goal, student representatives from the SEM class and the BHS bookstore, Trident, presented C.U.R.E. Executive Director Holly Dutcher with a check of $1,363 and an additional $20 cash which was donated on the day of the event.

According to Dutcher, Mr. Mutton reached out with

an idea from “students who were looking to make a real difference.”

For C.U.R.E. Board of Directors Member, and father of three Brockport students, Daniel Kuhn, it’s a cause that hits close to home.

“C.U.R.E. was there for my family from day one,” Kuhn said, reflecting on his daughter’s diagnosis.

“The organization was founded over 50 years ago by parents of children with cancer, so they knew the importance of having that familial support and connection because they’d been through it themselves. It’s really like the best club that no one wants to be a part of.”

Their goal is simple: to improve the lives of pediatric cancer patients and their loved ones.

“I love the mission,” Dutcher said. “The connections we have made with families over the years is really special. There are families I’m still reaching out to, I’m still connected with, after 10+ years.”

The event can be watched at https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=aSXNPXfYgxE. For more information on C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association, go to https://www.curekidscancer.com/.

New law to protect consumers from potential gift card scams

Beginning June 20, 2023, all businesses selling gift cards must display a notice at or near where any gift card or gift certificate is displayed or sold to caution consumers about gift card fraud. Requesting gift cards as payment has become increasingly popular with scammers as funds are nearly impossible to trace. According to the Federal Trade Commission in 2022, nearly 65,000 consumers filed a complaint related to gift card scams, equating to a total loss of $228.3 million.

“With the number of gift card scams on the rise, it’s more important than ever to educate consumers so they know that gift cards should only be used for gifts, not to make payments,” said New York Secretary of State Robert J. Rodriguez. “This new law requiring warning signage where gift cards are displayed or sold will help to reduce the success rate of these scammers and protect consumers’ hard-earned money.”

To address the growing prevalence of gift card fraud, this new law re-

quires retailers and businesses to clearly post a notice at or near the gift card display or point-of-purchase to help increase public awareness of this scam and provide guidance to vulnerable customers if they believe they are being scammed. Gift card sellers are required to display these notices in an area that is visible to consumers and close to where the gift cards are displayed or the sale occurs.

The Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection has created and published model notices that gift card sellers can download and post to comply with this new law.

Businesses are encouraged to access these downloadable signs and post them where they sell gift cards. These downloadable signs are available in three different sizes on the Division of Consumer Protection website, https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/05/giftcardscamalert50. pdf.

Businesses may also create their own notice that includes the following guidance:

•Cautions the purchaser about pre-paid card scams.

•Instructs the purchaser on what to do if they suspect they might be a potential victim of such a scam.

Gift card scams can take many forms, but are often phone calls targeting consumers, particularly the elderly and immigrants, stating that they owe money and payment is required by gift card. Below are examples of different forms of gift card scams:

•A consumer received an email that appeared to be from eBay stating that the consumer needed to call to verify his account. The consumer called and was told that in order to complete the verification, he needed to purchase an eBay gift card and provide the code. The consumer recognized it was a scam and ended the call.

•A consumer purchased a puppy from a breeder advertising on Facebook Marketplace. The puppy was $2,000 + fees, but the breeder stated they didn’t take credit cards, so they instructed the consumer to purchase Visa gift cards and provide the numbers and PINs. The consumer purchased a total of $3,700 in gift cards to pay for the cost of the puppy, shipping, crate and insurance. The breeder then disappeared, and the consumer now realizes they were scammed out of $3,700.

•A consumer received a Facebook message from a friend stating they were stranded with flat tire and they needed money for the tow truck and a new tire. The “friend” asked if the consumer could purchase a $500 gift card for them and they would pay the consumer back. The consumer purchased the gift card and provided the number and pin, but then later found out the friend’s Facebook account had been hacked and the request for the $500 was a scam.

•A senior citizen received an email that appeared to be from his bank to authorize a large cash transfer to an account overseas. The man knew nothing of the transfer, and when he called the phone number in the email, he was told that the only way to stop the transfer was to overdraft his account so there would be no money to transfer out. The man was told to purchase $7,200 in gift cards and the bank would process them immediately to justify the overdraft. He purchased the gift cards and provided the account and pin numbers as instructed. The victim’s wife believed it was a scam and encouraged him to go into a bank branch to verify the information. He then learned it was a scam but, by that point, had already lost $7,200.

Byron-Bergen teacher to learn from scientists aboard EPA research vessel Lake Guardian

peter Spence, a Living Environment and Ap Environmental Science teacher at Byron-Bergen High School is among 15 educators from five Great Lakes states who will become scientists during the 2023 Lake Ontario Shipboard Science Workshop aboard the u.S. EpA Great Lakes National program Office (GLNpO) research Vessel Lake Guardian

This unique professional development workshop hosted by New York Sea Grant (NYSG) will take place July 6 through 12. The ship will depart from rochester and make shore stops in Youngstown and Oswego.

Spence and teachers from six other New York-based schools, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin will learn alongside scientists from the u.S. EpA GLNpO, the State university of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Cornell university, and the Great Lakes research Consortium (GLrC), including GLrC Director and preeminent harmful algal bloom researcher Gregory L. Boyer, ph.D. NYSG Great Lakes Literacy Specialist Nate Drag will guide the teachers in developing lesson plans and curricula to take back to their classrooms to inspire students. Among their activities, the group will take part in water sampling and be able to analyze the samples in onboard laboratories.

“This unique hands-on learning experience increases teachers’ understanding of the Great Lakes’ unparalleled value and fosters creation of personalized teaching resources to spark student interest in the world’s largest surface freshwater system,” Drag said.

“I am honored to be part of a team of teachers from several states to conduct research on Lake Ontario with Great Lakes scientists. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to develop new real-world strategies to bring awareness about the Great Lakes to my classes,” Spence said.

This Shipboard Science Workshop is supported with Great Lakes restoration Initiative funding, through an interagency agreement by the u.S. EpA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and National Sea Grant Office. Learn more at www.epa.gov/ great-lakes-monitoring/lake-guardian and www.epa.gov/great-lakesmonitoring/cooperative-science-and-monitoring-initiative.csmi. New York Sea Grant (www.nyseagrant.org) leads the Lake Ontario Shipboard Science Workshop in cooperation with the Center for Great Lakes Literacy (www.cgll.org). NYSG is a cooperative program of Cornell university and the State of New York and one of 34 university-based programs in the NOAA National Sea Grant College program. provided information
