7. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The label chosen for the wine that Finger Lakes Community College students will bottle next spring pays homage to where it all began. <br /><br />Second-year graphic design major <b>Rachel Graf</b> of Walworth designed the label and name for the college’s 2019 vintage wines. To be called “Foundation,” the wine label features antiqued blueprints of the college’s Viticulture and Wine Center, which opened in Geneva in early 2015. <br /><br />The name and design symbolize the center’s opening and its role as a starting point – or foundation – for students enrolled in the program. <br /><br />“I wanted to showcase the hard work of the viticulture students and pay homage to their studies and the center itself for creating these amazing opportunities for them,” said Graf, a 2018 graduate of Wayne Central High School in Ontario, Wayne County. “The blueprints represent the literal foundation for the center itself, and the center represents the educational foundation for the students.” <br /><br />Graf and her classmates designed labels for a graphic design course taught by <b>Liz Brownell</b> of Victor, professor of graphic design. In what has become an annual tradition, the labels were revealed recently at a gallery-style reception at the Viticulture and Wine Center. The 14 student designers took turns pitching their concepts, touching on themes, color palettes, font choices, as well as what types of computer programs were used to create the designs.</span><div>

12. “This project is a chance for the students to have the experience of working with actual clients,” said Brownell. “It’s a boots on the ground approach. In any discipline of study, the teacher can describe what it’s like to work in the field, but when students have the actual experience for themselves it’s a different level of learning.”   <br /><br />Students of <b>Paul Brock</b>, associate professor of viticulture, voted on the labels. Selecting a winner proved challenging. In fact, a tie-breaker vote was required. The runner up, <b>Adele Fishbaugh</b> of Dundee, paid homage to Native Americans with her minimalist design, titled Nilch’itsoh. <br /><br />Students <b>Lex Nicotina</b> of Greece and <b>Quinn Howell </b>of Palmyra were also finalists in the contest.  <br /><br />Niagara Label of Akron is donating its services to make the labels and Waterloo Container is donating the bottles. <br /><br />For more information on the FLCC viticulture and wine technology degree or the graphic design degree, visit flcc.edu or call (585) 785-1000.

17. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">An annual basketball tournament between high school rivals Canandaigua and Victor is getting a new name in its eighth year to honor a beloved coach. <br /><br />The <b>Scott Zahn</b> Memorial Classic will be held Friday, Dec. 20 in Putt Moore Court at the main campus of Finger Lakes Community College. Formerly called the Commodore Cup for its founding sponsor, the former Commodore Plastics foam products company, the event was renamed this year in memory of Mr. Zahn. <br /><br />Mr. Zahn died in October 2019 at age 59.  He taught at the Victor Central School for 30 years before his retirement in 2015. During that time, he coached hundreds of youth on Blue Devils baseball, golf, football and boys and girls basketball teams. He also served as an assistant for the girls varsity basketball team at Canandaigua Academy. <br /><br />Mr. Zahn was inducted into Victor’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012 for his own impressive record: He was a three-sport athlete from 1977 to 1979 in football, basketball and baseball for Victor.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

19. &lt;br /&gt;“Coach Zahn was the epitome of educationally-based athletics,” said &lt;b&gt;Duane Weimer&lt;/b&gt;, Victor’s director of health, physical education and athletics. “He purposefully developed positive relationships, focused on his student-athletes’ academic efforts, and used the basketball platform to teach life-lessons that resonate to this day. The Scott Zahn Memorial Classic is an extraordinary fitting name for an event between the two schools that he so enthusiastically supported, and for a cause that extends the boundaries of the game.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tournament is sponsored by the Victor and Canandaigua basketball boosters as well as BSN Sports. Putt Moore Court is the gymnasium located at the back on the FLCC main campus at 3325 Marvin Sands Drive. The girls teams will play at 6 p.m. and the boys will take the court at 8 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to park in the lot up the hill and behind the main building for a shorter walk to the gym. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The annual event has raised more than $20,000 to benefit the Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard and the Canandaigua Churches in Action food pantry. Entry is $5 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at &lt;a href=&quot;https://bit.ly/382HRd3&quot;&gt;https://bit.ly/382HRd3&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funds will also be raised with 50/50 raffles and with the sale of shirts honoring Mr. Zahn. Donations of non-perishable and canned goods are welcome. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several FLCC athletes and coaches will help run the event. Rochester radio personality and Canandaigua native &lt;b&gt;Pete &quot;The Mayor&quot; Kennedy&lt;/b&gt; will emcee an awards ceremony between the games. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Scott gave many years of service to the student athletes in the Canandaigua girls basketball program,” said Canandaigua City School District Athletic Director &lt;b&gt;Jim Simmons&lt;/b&gt;. “He was highly respected for his knowledge of the sport but more importantly, how he handled himself with class, character and dignity. This outstanding event will no doubt grow and prosper as we honor Scott by re-naming it the Scott Zahn Memorial Classic”&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/feeds/3034447190581533522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/2019/12/flcc-hoops-tourney-renamed-to-honor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/920874406771900092/posts/default/3034447190581533522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/920874406771900092/posts/default/3034447190581533522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/2019/12/flcc-hoops-tourney-renamed-to-honor.html' title='FLCC hoops tourney renamed to honor coach Scott Zahn '/><author><name>FLCC Connects</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09592720260656699810</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfmj9zIjxn5Gc5ozThuJs_NtfbV0qatnw4nkAIYQUqQeKmAwI_lssp2V8yIwtuqmjvRncCjxgFzaFdiLc1pO1ekhozDnjrGL9Vb1yG8ZT2iKf6EYEREVlEjGu-ReJtw/s220/FLCCconnectsLogo2014_SMIcon.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVSJkvJiN0hMGH67A1IB5wf6-kUv6z37IWYd1WoST10XiMwu2Q6GnHX2kl051IOY3EEzotXuwc1ELWOgc6lQCQSfpd7rVIQdj6uixWSnICIWVaXMcg8Cfl85NI972FxYqlA7DzO6y6L_Q/s72-c/Scott+Zahn+USE+THIS+ONE.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920874406771900092.post-5843024086637497593</id><published>2019-12-05T10:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2019-12-05T12:11:22.008-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FLCC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Michael Stapleton"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Richards Sands"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sands Family Foundation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Thompson Health"/><title type='text'>Sands Family Foundation&#39;s $3 million gift largest in FLCC history</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

179. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The NARF is representing two tribes in a lawsuit filed against the Trump administration and TransCanada Corp. to halt an extension of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to Port Arthur, Texas. The suit alleges, among other things, that the pipeline poses a threat to the environment and people of the sovereign ancestral lands and violates centuries-old treaties. <br /><br />On Sunday, Nov. 10, Ragona will take the stage at Finger Lakes Community College to talk about the Keystone case, and more broadly, the enduring relevance of Native American treaties. He will be joined by <b>G. Peter Jemison</b>, the longtime site manager of the Ganondagan State Historic Site in Victor. <b>Evan Dawson</b>, host of the WXXI radio show, “Connections,” will moderate the discussion. </span></div>
180. <div>
181. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Titled “Turtle Island’s Treaties: Honor and Activism,” the event will begin at 4 p.m. in the Student Center Auditorium at FLCC’s main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua. It is part of the George M. Ewing Canandaigua Forum, a speaker series named for a longtime area newspaper publisher who had a penchant for public discourse on timely topics. <br /><br />Ragona and Jemison said they talk about treaties across “Turtle Island,” a name for land in North America commonly used by Native Americans and indigenous rights activists. “One of the points we’re going to make is that treaties are the supreme law of the land as stated in the Constitution. They are living documents. They don’t expire. They don’t have shelf life,” said Ragona. “Tribes do rely on them today.” <br /><br />Added Jemison, “The Constitution says treaties are the Supreme Law of the land. How then can laws passed by Congress supersede a treaty signed by the president and ratified by Congress?” <br /><br />The discussion is well-timed. The following day, Nov. 11, is the anniversary of the Canandaigua Treaty, which established land boundaries and declared “peace and friendship” between the newly established United States of America and the tribes of the Haudenosaunee: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, Cayuga and Tuscarora. <br /><br />Jemison each year helps organize a local celebration commemorating the continued observance of the treaty by the Six Nations. Ragona has attended the event more than once on the invitation of Peter Gerbic, an area artist who also helped lead the festivities. Ragona and Jemison have forged an easy connection over the years through their shared advocacy. <br /><br />Ragona is a frequent presenter on federal Indian law and Indian issues at academic institutions and national and regional Native conferences. He first joined the Colorado-based Native American Rights Fund in 1993. After a four-year departure to advise tribes in private practice, he returned and, in 2017 was appointed the dual role of director of development and house counsel. <br /><br />In addition to his work at Ganondagan, Jemison is the representative for the Seneca Nation of Indians on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act as well as an Indian Tribe/Native Hawaiian representative of the Federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. He is also an artist known for his naturalistic paintings that embody “orenda,” the traditional Haudenosaunee belief that every living thing and every part of creation contains a spiritual force. <br /><br />The Nov. 10 event is the third of four talks in the forum’s 2019-2020 season. <b>Forrest Pritchard</b>, organic farmer and author of “Gaining Ground, A Story of Farmer's Markets, Local Food and Saving the Family Farm,” will give the final talk on Sunday, Jan. 26 on sustainable agriculture and family farms. <br /><br />Single-event tickets are $25 each. Student tickets are free at the door with a current student ID but only if the event has not sold out. Tickets can be ordered by phone at (585) 393-0281 or purchased online at <a href="http://gmeforum.org/">gmeforum.org</a>. <br /><br />The forum is funded in part with an endowment from the Ewing family as well as support from Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, Wegmans and FLCC. <br /><br />Forum organizers always welcome sponsors. Donors receive tickets, admission to receptions and other benefits. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, contact <b>Paul Bringewatt</b> at (585) 396-0759.</span></div>

Her knowledge of the war has come from her high school teachers, her parents, and movies. <br /><br />A recent trip provided insight none of those sources could offer.

It was on everyone’s mind; they wanted to support their country.” <br /><br />Several of Josiane’s classmates and veterans who made the trip will share reflections at the annual Veterans Day ceremony at Finger Lakes Community College.

Visitors are encouraged to arrive early for parking; handicap spots are available in the lot closest to the main entrance. <br /><br />“These students and their veteran travel companions have just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we’re honored they will join our ceremony to share their experiences,” said Jennie Erdle, director of student life at FLCC. “This is truly a wonderful opportunity to bring our communities together and recognize our veterans.”</span><br />

192. The Soaring Valor trip was made possible through a charitable effort by the Gary Sinise Foundation and American Airlines. Sinise played the role of Lt. Dan in the popular “Forrest Gump” movie. The actor started the foundation after meeting an American serviceman severely injured during a bomb blast in Iraq. <br /><br />The Midlakes trip began on Wednesday, Oct. 9 with a send-off celebration at the Greater Rochester International Airport. It featured a performance by 96-year-old <b>Peter Dupre</b>, a World War II veteran who has become famous for his harmonica playing. Officials from American Airlines, Honor Flight Rochester and the Soaring Valor program took part in the send-off. <br /><br />“It was a great way to start our journey,” said Midlakes High School Principal <b>Frank Bai-Rossi</b>. “The trip was well-organized and the museum was a great, educational experience. The most impactful part for me, though, was to see the connections forged between our students and members of the “Greatest Generation.’ These are the lessons we can’t offer in the classroom.” <br /><br />Bai-Rossi will share his reflections during the Veterans Day ceremony at FLCC along with roughly two dozen students and veterans. The event will begin with the song, “Waving Above,” composed by the late <b>Robert Barbuto</b>, a longtime adjunct instructor of music at FLCC and retired member of the West Point Band. <br /><br />Associate Vice President of Student Affairs <b>Sarah Whiffen</b> will emcee. FLCC President <b>Robert K. Nye</b>, a retired Army colonel will give remarks. <b>Lori Vail</b>, assistant professor of humanities, will give the invocation and benediction and the Canandaigua American Legion Honor Guard will post and retire the colors. A dessert reception sponsored by the FLCC Student Corporation and the Office of Student Life follows the ceremony. <br /><br /><br /><b> Related events </b><br /><br />Other events are planned to honor veterans, including a discussion and book signing by “Taking Baghdad” author and alumnus <b>Aaron Grant</b> from 12:40 to 1:50 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14.  Free and open to all, it will be held in Stage 14 at the main campus. <br /><br />Then, on Friday, Nov. 15, the College will host the third annual Armed Forces Formal Dinner and Dance in the main campus cafeteria. The event features music and a gourmet meal prepared by students in the culinary arts program; tickets are $15 for FLCC students, $20 for military veterans and those who are active duty or in the reserves, and $35 for all others. Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling the Office of Student Life at (585) 785-1264. <br /><br />The Veterans Book Project, an exhibit of stories about war experiences, continues through Nov. 16 at the FLCC gallery, ArtSpace36, at 36 S. Main St. in downtown Canandaigua. Hours are 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. <br /><br />About 120 FLCC students have identified themselves to the college as members of the military or veterans. The college participates in Veterans Integration To Academic Leadership, or VITAL, a U.S. Veterans Administration program that partners with colleges to provide support for veterans and training for college employees. <br /><br />For more information about veteran services at FLCC, contact <b>Jennie Erdle</b>, director of student life, at (585) 785-1263, or visit www.flcc.edu/veterans.</span></div>

197. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Demetrice Garcia</b> is a mom to seven children, ranging in age from 20 to just seven months and she works part-time in the emergency department of a local hospital. <br /><br />That’s plenty to juggle. For Garcia, there’s more: She’s also enrolled full-time as a biotechnology major at Finger Lakes Community College. <br /><br />Garcia says she wouldn’t be able to pursue her dream of earning a degree if it weren’t for the support she has received from her employer, family and friends. Her perseverance has been recognized at FLCC with another measure of relief: she was recently awarded the Fred and Mary Jennejahn Memorial Scholarship. <br /><br />The $1,000 award was created by FLCC mathematics professor <b>Bryan Ingham</b> and his wife, Christine, in honor of his grandparents. Fred was a WWII veteran, Rotarian and volunteer firefighter, while his wife was a longtime middle school math teacher. </span><br />
198. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Garcia was able to meet Ingham at the 35th Annual Constellation Brands Honors Dinner, an event recently held at the FLCC main campus to recognize scholarship recipients and their benefactors. <br /><br />“I’m inspired by students like Demi who can manage so many things while attending school,” said Ingham. “It’s an honor to be able to help Demi and her family with this scholarship.” <br /><br />After graduating from Newark High School in 1996, Garcia decided it wasn’t the right time for her to attend college. She went to work and eventually signed on to join the Air Force, but found out during the required physical examination that she was pregnant. <br /><br />Garcia had her baby – a girl named Mikaila – and soon after enrolled at a community college. A serious car crash in the first semester sidelined her plans. “I thought it was God trying to tell me something, so I went to work,” she said. <br /><br />Along the way, Garcia had six more children. She juggled the demands of motherhood with a fair share of hardships: Her family was touched by incarceration, addiction and abuse. <br /><br />A full-time job as a specimen processor in the blood draw lab at an area hospital brought financial stability and a renewed interest in college. </span><br />
199. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I loved what I was doing and I had so much knowledge, it got to the point that the lab manager and the supervisors were asking me questions,” Garcia said. “After seven years of working there I decided I was going back to school. I thought, ‘I’m going to join the ranks – I’m going to get those letters after my name just like the rest of you.’” <br /><br />Garcia switched departments and reduced her work hours, and enrolled in the fall of 2018 at FLCC, where her first-born is also a student. She hopes to complete her associate degree in December 2020. <br /><br />“I can honestly say my life is completely backwards, but it is working backwards,” she said. “I keep thinking about it and I don’t think I would as happy and successful as I’ve been had I gone to college right out of high school. I am so thankful for the support I’m receiving from family and friends, and I’m grateful for this scholarship – it is helping me achieve my dream.” <br /><br />Garcia is the second recipient of the scholarship. Seven new scholarships were awarded in the past year. One was created by Canandaigua husband-and-wife, <b>Kevin Murphy</b> and <b>Lorena Garmezy</b> of Canandaigua. <br /><br />Murphy is considered one of the College’s “Storefront Pioneers” because he graduated from the then-Community College of the Finger Lakes in 1974 when classes were held in downtown storefronts. He then earned a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Oswego. Garmezy earned her degree from Cornell University in 1986, following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather. <br /><br />The couple met while working at Rochester’s Strong Museum; he was the senior exhibit designer, while she worked in the education department. Both share an affinity for good wine, and hope to strengthen the connection between their respective alma maters – FLCC and Cornell – with the Garmezy & Murphy Viticulture Scholarship. </span><br />
200. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“We are excited about the viticulture program at FLCC, and also the viticulture and enology program at Cornell. Both have top-of-the-line facilities,” said Murphy. “Both of us value the importance of education as a solid foundation to success in life. A good education opened doors for both of us.” <br /><br />Murphy and Garmezy attended the scholarship dinner and met the first recipient, <b>Anastasia Van Ark</b> of Lima, Livingston County. Murphy said she is a “very impressive, very bright young woman who will go far in life.” <br /><br />Other new scholarships include:<br /><br /><b>The Thomas Albanese Memorial Scholarship</b>, created in memory of Thomas A. Albanese, a U.S. Army veteran and active member of the Canandaigua Lions Club and Ontario County Historical Society.</span><br />
201. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><b>The Bob Barbuto Memorial Jazz Scholarship</b> created in memory of its namesake, an adjunct instructor of music at FLCC from 2003 through his passing in 2018. He arranged and performed backup music for well-known bands such as Blondie, the Four Tops, The Temptations, Pat Benatar and Tony Bennett during his extensive career as a composer and musician.</span><br />
202. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><b>The John H. Brahm III Memorial Scholarship</b>, named in memory of a pioneer in the Finger Lakes wine industry. Brahm, who died early this year, was co-founder and winemaker at Arbor Hill Grapery & Winery in South Bristol.</span><br />
203. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>The Justin Christensen Memorial Scholarship</b>, created by Dr. Robert Lorenzetti and his wife, Margaret, in memory of their nephew, a Clarkson University chemical engineering graduate who developed a passion for wine and winemaking working at a local winery during the summer months. The Geneva Community Projects Scholarship was created with the proceeds from the Rosé Soireé celebration in Geneva.</span><br />
204. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><b>The William D. Langston Memorial Scholarship</b>, created by retired FLCC math Prof. William G. Langston in memory of his father, a survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor who died in 2015 at age 93. <br /><br />The privately funded FLCC Foundation scholarships are presented to part- and full-time students entering or returning to FLCC this fall or those who transferred to four-year colleges and universities. <br /><br />Students apply for and are selected to receive the awards based on a variety of criteria relating to major, grade point average and intended occupation. The awards range from $100 to full tuition, currently $4,722 per year. <br /><br />To create a new scholarship or donate to an existing fund, contact the FLCC Foundation at (585) 785-1541 or email to <a href="mailto:foundation@flcc.edu">foundation@flcc.edu</a>.

They will be joined by &lt;b&gt;Kevin Kumar&lt;/b&gt; on violin and Barston for Brahms&#39; Sextet No. 1 in B-Flat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barston and Kumar are co-artistic directors of the festival, now celebrating its 15th year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concert will be held in the FLCC Student Center Auditorium at the main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua. It begins with an artists’ chat at 7:15 p.m. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katina has received praise and honors since she began playing cello at 6 years old. She was the first prize winner of this year’s Elite International Music Competition in 2019, winner of the Warminster Symphony Competition in the children’s division, and the Grand Prix recipient in the 2018 international Concert Festival Competition. She also appeared as a student cellist on the acclaimed Amazon Prime TV series, “Mozart in the Jungle.” And, she will soon make a return to Carnegie Hall to perform Shostakovich’s Sonata for Cello and Piano in D Minor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She loves traveling the world with her parents and decorating cupcakes at her dad’s business, Tiffany’s Bakery, in Philadelphia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The festival began last weekend. The fourth and last formal concert in FLCC’s Student Center Auditorium is scheduled for this Sunday, July 28 at 1:45 p.m. Titled “A World Lit by Fire: ​Bach, Handel, and Brahms,” it will feature harpsichordist Andrew Appel, festival musicians and the Jasper Quartet for Baroque works by Vivaldi, Handel and Gibbons. They will complete the Brahms Sextet cycle with Sextet in G Major. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Single concert tickets are $28 for general admission or $10 with a valid student ID at the door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To purchase tickets, visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lakemusicfestival.org/&quot;&gt;www.lakemusicfestival.org&lt;/a&gt;, or contact &lt;b&gt;Gaelen McCormick&lt;/b&gt;, executive director, by emailing &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:director@lakemusicfestival.org&quot;&gt;director@lakemusicfestival.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/feeds/6601551513465387022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/2019/07/young-cello-virtuoso-returns-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/920874406771900092/posts/default/6601551513465387022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/920874406771900092/posts/default/6601551513465387022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://fingerlakescommunitycollege.blogspot.com/2019/07/young-cello-virtuoso-returns-for.html' title='Young cello virtuoso returns for LakeMusic Festival&#39;s final weekend '/><author><name>FLCC Connects</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09592720260656699810</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfmj9zIjxn5Gc5ozThuJs_NtfbV0qatnw4nkAIYQUqQeKmAwI_lssp2V8yIwtuqmjvRncCjxgFzaFdiLc1pO1ekhozDnjrGL9Vb1yG8ZT2iKf6EYEREVlEjGu-ReJtw/s220/FLCCconnectsLogo2014_SMIcon.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6-1YaMixWGksFW_bW_kFPZ6l_ZztW71iZmjRqHQh4ApdAqkFfIZrtGJ-apimLK9Xwl1agJ55akjZ8wYeDuqGZlyhhHmSnCgrq82vlYaPQLw6x0oyuo4mGRUDJWkQ5QEJVWMcMqn8B77s/s72-c/Katina+Pantazopoulos+-+FLCC+LakeMusic.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920874406771900092.post-6989218026553283235</id><published>2019-07-11T10:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2019-07-11T10:48:10.998-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="#FLCC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="#YEA"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FLCC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Locate Finger Lakes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Ontario County Fair"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="YEA"/><title type='text'>Recent YEA graduates to showcase business plans at fair</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

580. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Finger Lakes Community College recently held a ceremony to celebrate the 103 students who earned high school equivalency diplomas in the last year through FLCC’s free Adult Basic Education program. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several students spoke about their reasons for leaving high school and enrolling at FLCC to get their diploma. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crystal Hartman &lt;/b&gt;of Waterloo passed an online exam for a general education development (GED) three years ago, assuming it would meet the degree requirements for her dream job as a corrections officer. She applied for a position and learned that what she’d earned didn’t count because it was from another state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As I still wanted a job as a corrections officer, I had to sign up for high school equivalency classes and pass the test in New York state,” she said. She followed through, attending evening classes at FLCC’s Geneva Campus Center to prepare for the state Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hartman was anxious about going back to school as an adult, and doing so alongside a group of people she’d never met. But her nerves were calmed by teachers, who, she said, “Greeted me with open arms.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hartman passed all but the math portion of the exam. She retook it a second time – and again failed. “Reluctantly, after a period of time, I started classes again for the third time without much confidence in myself because of how the last two math tests went,” she said.  “After a few classes, I was able to relax and tried to understand the math.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She met with teachers, one-on-one, and logged hours of study time while juggling the demands of family and two jobs. She took the test a third time – and passed. “The first person I told was my daughter, Megan,” said Hartman, who will begin classes in FLCC’s criminal justice program in the fall. “She has been such a great supporter for me. …A new chapter in my life has begun.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FLCC offers high school equivalency classes in Ontario, Wayne and Yates counties. Students can enroll at any time and work at their own pace. Spanish speakers can attend TASC preparation in their own language at a special program offered in Lyons and Geneva. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before beginning one of these programs, students must make an appointment to meet with an FLCC representative by calling (585) 785-1431 or 785-1544. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are the graduates listed by county and town. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MONROE

590. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Shortly after starting an 11-month healthcare training program, <b>Kristal White</b> got some news that could have easily sidetracked her schooling plans: She was pregnant. <br /><br />The baby was due before the rigorous program would be over. Missing more than a few days would threaten her ability to complete it and achieve her dream of rising from the rank of entry-level certified nurse assistant to become a licensed practical nurse. <br /><br />White, of Rochester, refused to give up the coveted slot. In the months that followed, she juggled pregnancy with the demands of the intensive program and the needs of her family – she already had two kids at home. When the time came for the baby’s arrival, White told classmates, “I’ll be right back.” <br /><br />She kept her word. She gave birth to a baby girl, Kynnedi, on a Friday and was back in the classroom the following Monday. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

606. <br /><br />With Kynnedi in her arms, White crossed the stage during a graduation ceremony last week in the Student Center Auditorium at Finger Lakes Community College. She wiped away tears as her instructor placed symbolic nursing pins on her white uniform, and on baby’s matching white dress. <br /><br />White was among 20 graduates of the CNA to LPN Program facilitated by FLCC in partnership with the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center at SUNY Brockport, the Rochester Regional Health System, RochesterWorks!, and Finger Lakes Works. The program allows participants to take classes to become licensed practical nurses while maintaining an income to support themselves and their families. All began as certified nurse assistants (CNAs) and took classes for 20 hours a week over the last year while working for 20 hours. <br /><br /><b>Todd Sloane</b>, FLCC’s director of workforce development, explained that the CNA to LPN class is different from other training programs because the students go to school part-time and work part-time while receiving a stipend to cover what would otherwise be lost wages. Tuition and income support were provided by Rochester Regional Health, RochesterWorks!, Finger Lakes Works, and a federal grant. </span><br />
607. <div>
608. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Many certified nurse assistants are unable to make the jump to LPN because of the extra time required for schooling, the cost of tuition and family obligations,” he said. “These are excellent employees who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to advance in their profession. This program is transforming lives.” <br /><br />Sloane was among those who spoke at the graduation, along with FLCC President <b>Robert K. Nye</b>; <b>Gloria Morgan</b>, director of academic affairs at the Rochester Educational Opportunity Center at SUNY Brockport; and <b>Catherine Chabrier</b>, administrator at the Hill Haven Rehabilitation and Transitional Care Center in Webster, where the program training is held. <br /><br />Morgan told the graduates to “keep the passion.” “It shouldn’t be just for the money. It shouldn’t be just for the sake of having letters after your name. It should be for the value of caring for people,” she said. <br /><br />Hundreds of relatives and friends packed the auditorium, many holding balloons, flowers and cameras to capture the occasion. The bond among the graduates was obvious: They hugged one another and wiped away tears of relief and pride as each crossed the stage. <br /><br />“In this past year I have been witness to the strength of 19 incredible nurses,” said <b>Alyssa Morales</b> of Spencerport, one of a few graduates who gave remarks at the ceremony. “During this program there has been loss, there has been birth, there have been struggles to balance children, social connections, work and self-care. For this year I have been in the trenches with adults who decided it was their time to revisit education and rise up into worthiness.” <br /><br />Classmate <b>Katelyn Greco</b> of Newark is looking forward to advancing in her position at Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic. She was inspired to go into healthcare while caring for her ailing grandmother, who passed away in 2013. She became a CNA, but didn’t consider reaching higher, intimidated by the cost and additional training needed. The program has been a “huge relief,” she said. <br /><br />According to the New York State Department of Labor, the median wage for a certified nurse assistant is $28,980 while the median wage for a licensed practical nurse is $41,430. <br /><br />The students were chosen from roughly 90 program applicants, all employees of Rochester Regional Health. Having completed the training program, they must now take a national exam for licensed practical nurse certification.   <br /><br />“This has been such a life changer,” White said. “This program supported us 100 percent.” <br /><br />In addition to White, Morales and Greco, the graduating class includes: Rochester residents <b>Joy N. Bronson</b>,<b> Johanna Lee Campbell</b>,<b> Courtney Conner</b>,<b> Shamika M. Dillon</b>,<b> Mutt Douangdala</b>,<b> Leticia M. Gonzalez</b>,<b> Nakeisha Jackson</b>,<b> Brittany Bain Johnson</b>,<b> Lakisha J. Lawhorn</b>, <b>Amanda K. Loreca</b>,<b> Peraleen McMurty</b>, <b>Cherlyne Santilaire Augustin</b>, <b>and Tamika M. Thomas</b>; <b>Shannon M. Maricle</b> of Penfield; and Newark residents <b>Jesus M. Nogueras</b>,<b> Keba K. Webb</b> and<b> Carly M. Zeno</b>.</span></div>
