SUNY Cobleskill Early Childhood Studies Program Awarded Grant to Fund Paid Internships for Future Educators

SUNY Cobleskill’s Early Childhood Studies program has been awarded a grant to offer seven paid internships to students working 12-credit (full-time) internships. The grant, totaling more than $44,000, is through SUNY’s Early Childhood Paid Internship Program, a new initiative aiming to enhance hands-on experiences for students and help fill a great need in attracting individuals to help support staff at SUNY campus childcare facilities. SUNY has committed $500,000 to the program in its first year. 

 

Five student-teachers are enrolled in paid internships offered at SUNY Cobleskill’s Child Care Center in the Spring 2022 semester, with two additional positions to be filled in the Fall semester. Early Childhood Department Chair Elise Weiss says the program recognizes the value of teaching opportunities and the challenges of full-time internships. 

 

“SUNY is recognizing the demands placed on students as they complete their full-time internships and supporting their work with the opportunity to now receive pay,” said Elise Weiss, chair of SUNY Cobleskill’s Early Childhood Studies Department. “By SUNY tying this grant to students doing their internship at SUNY childcare centers, the system is also recognizing the important role childcare centers play on campuses and in the community.”

 

For Marial Rodriguez, a senior looking to enter the field of preschool education after graduation, her internship has given her insight into the work-life balance of teaching. “My teaching experience has exposed me to different teaching styles – learning through play and sensory learning – but it’s also shown me the time commitment needed to be a teacher and how to successfully budget not only for yourself but for your classroom.” 

 

SUNY Cobleskill’s Campus Child Care Center is a licensed center with the Office of Child and Family Services and serves children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. College students observe and interact with children as they learn, play, and grow together in an environment that encourages exploration and discovery. Through their experiences at the Cobleskill Campus Child Care Center, college students gain a broad foundation in child development. 

 

SUNY has 46 childcare centers and one referral service on campuses across the state, serving up to 5,000 children per year, and providing learning experiences for 3,000 SUNY students.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Cancer Services Program screens uninsured at age 45

The Cancer Services Program (CSP) of the Central Region is now offering free colorectal cancer screening for people ages 45 and older. People at average risk for colorectal cancer and who do not have health insurance may qualify. 

The United States Preventive Services Task Force lowered the recommended age for colorectal cancer screening for people at average risk from age 50 to 45. The change comes as national and New York State data show that 9 out of 10 of new colorectal cancer cases happen in adults aged 45 and older. Some people are at higher risk for colorectal cancer due to family history, symptoms, or because they have other bowel diseases. People at high risk may need to begin screening before age 45. 

This change comes in time for March: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. The Cancer Services Program can now start screening people at age 45 instead of 50. The CSP uses stool-based tests that are done at home and mailed to a lab. At-home testing is a great choice for many people during the pandemic, and the tests are safe and effective. 

Regular screening for colorectal cancer can save lives. Screening tests can find growths that can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early when treatment may work best. 

Data show that among New Yorkers ages 50 to 75 about 30% are not up to date with colorectal cancer screening. Those who do not have insurance are even further behind with about one-half not up to date with colorectal screening. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic caused many people to delay colorectal and other cancer screenings. 

Talk to your health care provider about your risks for colorectal cancer and testing options. If you do not have health insurance or a health care provider, the CSP may be able to help you. 

The CSP offers free colorectal, cervical and breast cancer screening to eligible adults who do not have insurance. Call the CSP at 1-888-345-0225 for help and to find out if you qualify for free cancer screening. 

### 

The New York State Cancer Services Program (CSP) provides breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings, and diagnostic services at no cost to adults who live in New York State, do not have health insurance, have health insurance with a cost share that makes the cost of screening too high, and meet the program rules for age and income. To find a Cancer Services Program visit http://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/cancer/services/community_resources/ or call 1-866-442-CANCER (2262).

PORT EWEN–Ulster BOCES means different things to different people. For Ayaka Guido, a young chef who bested celebrity chef Bobby Flay at his own game on his wildly popular Food Network culinary competition series, Beat Bobby Flay, Ulster BOCES was the magic ingredient in her success story.

Ayaka grew up in Kingston and attended the Kingston City School District. Feeling confined by the traditional classroom setting, she recognized Ulster BOCES as a resource for the active, hands-on education she desired. Despite not having a strong background in cooking, she immediately found the Culinary Arts program to be a good fit, noting that she not only received a fundamental education in the culinary arts–but she also got her first taste of culinary competition, earning second place in a state SkillsUSA cooking contest.

Ayaka graduated Kingston High School and completed her Ulster BOCES program in 2008 and then eagerly moved on to the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA), where she earned an Associate in Culinary Arts degree. She then moved to New York City, where she currently cooks as a sous chef at a Thomas Keller-owned, three-star Michelin restaurant called Per Se. “Ulster BOCES helped me find my path,” said Ayaka. “I wouldn’t be cooking if it was not for BOCES. I would not be living in NYC, working at one of the best restaurants in the world if it was not for my start at Ulster BOCES.”

Ayaka recalls Linda Carter, one of her Ulster BOCES Culinary Arts instructors, as a fount of knowledge and encouragement. Carter shared the warm sentiments. “Ayaka was very energetic; she was like a sponge absorbing as much knowledge as possible,” she said, citing Ayaka obtaining her ServSafe food safety certification while in high school as a major accomplishment. 

Carter and her former student agreed that the program’s teaching of elemental baking and cooking skills imparted the foundational education required to attend the CIA. “At Ulster BOCES, students not only learn how to conduct themselves as young professionals; they also learn essential cooking techniques, from stocks, soups, and sauces to roasting and frying, salad-making, dressing, and garnishing dishes,” Carter said. Students learn the basic steps of proper sanitation too, she added, all of which helps to prepare them for employment in the culinary industry. “Ulster BOCES gave me the key basics I needed to get into the CIA,” said Ayaka. 

After graduating from the CIA, Ayaka quickly became known in the culinary field for her innovative Japanese-Italian fusion cuisine, which draws from both of her cultural backgrounds. She began to participate– and eventually was featured–in culinary “pop-ups” around Manhattan. In 2019, the Bobby Flay show reached out to a professional colleague, who suggested they invite Ayaka to interview for the show. One phone call later and she was invited in to record the show in front of a live studio audience (although the pandemic pushed back the airing date to November 16, 2021). Ayaka admitted that she is not the most “upfront, confident person,” explaining that most chef training is focused on the “back of house” (kitchen), so being in the spotlight was a bit of a new experience. She admits she even contemplated canceling on the morning of the competition, explaining that she was concerned that a mistake on national TV could haunt her indefinitely. “I felt awkward the whole time, but everyone said that I did awesome,” she said, now laughing at how she was preoccupied with keeping her food preparation station spotless to avoid later taunts from colleagues. 

Ayaka competed in the first round of the competition using a “mystery ingredient” chosen by Flay: walleye fish. Staying present in each moment as the clock ticked down kept her focused amidst a multitude of cameras and distractions. Unfamiliar with the fish, she worried she spent too much time fileting it; however, she ultimately dished it on top of complementary classic Mediterranean ingredients, securing the win. 

For the final round, Ayaka challenged Chef Flay with a pasta creation, which is seldom invoked in the timed competition due to the complexity of the many steps required to make pasta. She quickly hurdled the pasta-making component and ultimately concocted a delicious egg ravioli with egg yolk and crispy maitake mushrooms. In a blind taste test, the judges selected her dish over Chef Flay’s, earning her bragging rights. 

While Ayaka may have been slightly unsure about entering the competition, her colleagues didn’t doubt her chances of securing the win. Thomas McKenna, the Culinary Director for Creative Culinary Management, has worked alongside Ayaka for years. He said that Ayaka has impressive intuition and skills. “She has a great ability to think about flavors and how to build them,” he said. “On top of that, she is talented and knows many techniques that set her apart.”

Helping to Save Kids from Sudden Cardiac Arrest: WMCHealth’s Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital Urges Schools to Become “Heart Safe”

More than 5,000 children suffer sudden cardiac arrest each year outside of a hospital setting, according to the American Heart Association. Pediatric cardiologists at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), are urging school districts to prepare for the possibility of a student experiencing sudden cardiac arrest on school grounds. To assist schools with a cardiac arrest preparedness plan, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital doctors are offering counseling and training by pediatric cardiologists as part of the national effort to certify schools as “Heart Safe.”   

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital is the first hospital in New York State to become an affiliate of Project ADAM, a national community outreach program with a mission to provide schools with the knowledge, skills and equipment necessary to quickly identify cardiac arrest symptoms and administer on-site intervention. The early use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during sudden cardiac arrest can improve survival* and Project ADAM and Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital recommend that every school create a sudden cardiac arrest preparedness plan that includes: 

• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training for school staff, teachers, coaches, and students 

• Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to provide rapid defibrillation in the event of sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation, with ongoing maintenance plans and drills 

• Drills to enhance staff familiarity, rapid on-site communication and practiced coordination with local Emergency Medical Services 

• Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for individual students known to be at risk. 

New York schools seeking “Heart Safe” training should contact Christa Miliaresis, MD, a pediatric cardiologist at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, at 914.493.8372. Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and Project ADAM will deem a school “Heart Safe” after staff training is complete and the school shows evidence of a functional, cardiac arrest preparedness plan that includes internal awareness efforts, staff CPR and AED training and a successful demonstration of an emergency response to a sudden cardiac arrest on school grounds. 

Project ADAM 
Project ADAM was named in memory of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old Wisconsin athlete who died of sudden cardiac arrest.  Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital is one of 34 Project ADAM affiliated programs in the United States, according to Project ADAM. 

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital Offers Comprehensive Care for Young Hearts 
The pediatric cardiology team at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital provides cardiac care for patients ranging from before birth through young adulthood. Referring physicians or families seeking a pediatric cardiology consultation should call 914.493.8372 to schedule an appointment and visit MariaFareriChildrens.org/Pediatric-Cardiology for service offerings and provider information.

Cards and Spinners

by Daniel Smirlock

 
Synopsis: June 2019: Two middle-aged married couples, good friends who haven’t seen each other for a while, get together for drinks, dinner, and catching up in the suburban home of one of them.  The evening begins as a pre-prandial session of one-liners and funny stories. By the time dinner is ready, though, annoyances are voiced, grievances are aired, and frustrations are vented. February 2020: The couples, their nerves frayed by kids and work, again get together for drinks. laughs, and drama. Eleven months later, it is Inauguration Day 2021, and the characters—each couple now in their own home—are already in a celebratory mood, despite the pandemic, when an unexpected piece of (arguably) good news arrives.  Finally, in May, 2022, with the pandemic receding, they get together in person again.

The Tragedy of the Faerie Queen and Her Councilors

by Joseph Scott

 
Synopsis: The faerie forest, once a serene and blissful utopia, is now in turmoil.  Unknown forces have brought on it a premature autumn and plunged the realm into endless twilight. Furthermore, a mysterious spectre has used twisted sorcery to disable and paralyze the magical faerie queen, and abducted one of her trusted councilors. As the faeries work to restore things to as they were before, they begin to realize that their problems, perhaps, lie inside the forest as much as they do outside.

Locker Room Talk
Written and directed by Karen Butler

Synopsis: To overthrow fusty gender stereotypes… toss humor at ‘em! Locker Room Talk, a good-natured skewering of the patriarchy, speculates how women and men fell to disorder.  The answer lies back with the ancients who taught Homo sapiens to think—would they had taught us to think straight!  It’s hard to fathom, but the sages—Homer, Ovid, Henry James and their ilk—indulged in common locker room talk, and our world suffers the slings and arrows for it to this day. Alarms blare. How to fix this before too late? Delving into our ancestral and even animal past, a troupe of rackety actors hurtle through ancient literature, underworld myth, and 19th century novels, knocking against Fate and rickety shibboleths. They play on surges of theatrical absurdism as alarms sound and civilization teeters. In the grand scheme of things, does the human species even matter?  Of course we do; we know love.
