"Genesee Community College History," a digital collection from the Western New York Library Rescources Council, is now available on New York Heritage:
The collection features 49 items about Genesee Community College -- from its inception to the graduation of some of the first graduates.
It highlights the construction of the College Road campus in Batavia, as well as students unwinding and playing football in the snow, and shows the steady progress of the building and development of the College as a whole, amid the transitions in leadership of the College during its continual growth.
New York Heritage is a collaborative project among New York State's nine Reference and Research Library Resources Councils (NY3Rs): Capital District Library Council; Central New York Library Resources Council; Long Island Library Resources Council; METRO-Metropolitan New York Library Council; Northern New York Library Network; Rochester Regional Library Council; South Central Regional Library Council; Southeastern New York Library Resources Council; and Western New York Library Resources Council.
The NY3Rs, funded by New York State, work with their member institutions (libraries, archives, museums and historical societies) to digitize original research materials and make those materials available for free on the Internet. The councils are continually adding new collections to nyheritage.org and actively seek collections to expand the site.

Genesee ARC's Culinary Arts staff will serve grilled chicken-veggie shish kabobs, garden pasta salad, corn on the cob, salad bar and some ooey-gooey chocolate and toasted marshmallow s'mores.
"What more can I say? It's going to be a fun and yummy lunchtime program," Executive Director Jeanne Walton said. "Chuck obviously has the skill and expertise to share, and people should take advantage of it during The YES! Cafe!"

Genesee Community College's Board of Trustees voted earlier this month to approve a new Health Sciences degree program.
The program, which will offer an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree, must first be approved by the State University of New York and the New York State Education Department. If approvals are received as expected, the College will launch the new degree program in fall 2014.
The program will help students prepare for careers in established and emerging health care fields, such as unit coordinators in health care institutions, members of lab staffs, geriatric specialists, health assistants and wellness educators, health interpreters, medical records administrators, and dozens of other fields, according to Rafael Alicea-Maldonado, dean of Math, Science and Career Education, who helped shape the proposal for the new program.
The program is primarily designed as a transfer program, and students earning degrees will have the opportunity to complete two years of baccalaureate study at other colleges and universities. A number of colleges and universities in Upstate New York offer bachelor's degrees in the health sciences and wellness fields, and Genesee anticipates establishing transfer agreements with at least several of these colleges. "Thousands of jobs in health sciences fields will be created in Western and Central New York in the years ahead," Alicea-Maldonado said. "An aging population, an increased focus on health and wellness in industry and new medical technology will all spur job growth.
"Even more significantly, the new federal Affordable Care Health Care Act will extend health care coverage to tens of millions of Americans in 2014 and the demand for allied health professionals who can help consumers prevent disease and manage a more complex health care system will be intense." Courses in the new program will include a variety of biology and chemistry courses, Gerontology, Responding to Emergencies, Statistics, Introduction to Developmental Disabilities, Developmental Psychology Across the Lifespan, General Psychology, Introductory Sociology and a variety of liberal arts courses. Trustees were enthusiastic about the new program, citing their own observations about the need for memory care providers, eldercare specialists and other professionals in the region. Genesee currently offers a Health Studies Certificate program, which can be completed in one year of full-time study. Graduates of the program sometimes enter another of Genesee's health care degree programs, or obtain work as patient assistants in hospitals and other health care institutions. The new Health Sciences program will join Genesee Community College's other prestigious health care degree programs. The College offers degree programs in Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant Studies, Respiratory Care, Polysomnographic Technology and Veterinary Technology. The College also offers degree programs in Human Services and Alcohol and Substance Abuse Studies.

This Saturday is the "Ride to Remember," sponsored by Genesee Veterans Support Network (GVSN) and Stan's Harley Davidson. This ride honors those who served and sacrificed in defense of our freedoms.
Ride registration opens at Stan's from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. Guided rides begin at 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Maps and directions are provided for those who wish to ride independently. It will be a 60-mile ride with three stops.
At 1 p.m. all riders will meet at the Batavia VA for a short service, including a wreath presentation by GVSN. The ride continues to Evergreen Cemetery on Route 77 in Corfu, with another brief service and lastly, will stop at Dawes Corners Cemetery, where riders can assist in marking gravesite of our area veterans (many war of 1812, World War I, etc.) with a wreath presentation there as well.
The ride ends at Stan's Harley Davidson around 3:30 p.m. At Stan's there will be Clor's chicken BBQ, raffles, and two live bands -- What is This and 2 Many Toyz -- that have donated their time.
At 5 p.m. a four-member team of sky divers from WNY Skydiving out of Akron will be jumping with an American and POW flag. Should be amazing to see!
We think this is a great opportunity for the people to come out and support our area veterans. All of the proceeds from this event go directly to Genesee Veterans Support Network, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping Genesee County veterans and their families.
Stan's Harley Davidson is located at 4425 W. Saile Drive in the Town of Batavia.

Did you ever wonder who wore corsets? Why did they wear them for over 500 years? Did you know men wore corsets in some time periods? What were the benefits of wearing them?
A review of the fashion corsetry in the 18th and 19th centuries will be presented by Gail Argetsinger at the Holland Land Office Museum, 131 W. Main St. Batavia, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 25.
She is an associate professor and costume designer in the Department of Theatre at SUNY Brockport who designs and builds the costumes for the plays and teaches costume-related courses at Brockport.
A favorite class is History of Costumes, which studies many corseting techniques. Her costumes have been seen frequently onstage in the Rochester area, particularly at National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester Institute of Technology and the Jewish Community Center of Rochester. She has designed several outdoor dramas throughout the country, including the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, the musical UTAH! for the Tuacahn Amphitheatre in St. George, Utah, and the Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra. She lives in Greece with her husband, Jerry, and two sons.
This lively and informative presentation is the last of the Spring 2013 series of lectures brought to you by the Holland Land Office Museum. It is open to everyone – all ages will enjoy this – general admission is $5 per person or $2 for museum members. Refreshments and a question and answer session with Professor Argetsinger will follow.

The Oct. 23-31 trip to China will be the last the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce will be hosting.
This is the last opportunity to take advantage of the exceptional value this trip offers. Walking across the Great Wall, standing in Tian Am Men Square, and viewing the gardens where the leaning Yanyan Pagoda that pre-dates the leaning tower of Pisa are just a few of the stops on the tour.
There is also an opportunity to see "up close and personal" the terracotta army in Xian. Dating from the third century B.C., the terracotta warriors were discovered in 1974 and are still being unearthed today.
Similar to the successful yearly trips since 2007, the Chamber is offering the community the unique opportunity to travel to China for the low price of $2,299. Price includes air fare (from JFK), bus to/from JFK, 4-5 star hotels, three meals a day, bus tours (with guides), admission to tourist spots, and airport taxes throughout the trip.
Of professional interest, this trip will present opportunities to learn a great deal about how the Chinese business system operates.
An information meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. June 5 at the Chamber Office in Downtown Batavia. To sign up or for more details call Melissa at the Chamber at (585) 343-7440, ext. 27. Details on the trip can also be found at www.geneseeny.com/trips

United Memorial Medical Center held a dinner on May 2, 2013 at Bohn's restaurant to recognize volunteer service within the organization. Their gifts of time were spent filing records in Human Resources, assisting visitors, comforting family members waiting for a loved one in surgery, stuffing envelopes in the Foundation, helping patients on Hope Haven, serving coffee at the refreshment kiosks at the Hospital and at the Jerome Center, and helping someone choose just the right item in the gift shop.
Their dedication and compassion assists United Memorial in caring for patients and visitors every day. Volunteers are part of our team and part of our UMMC family. We depend on them and turn to them when we need a helping hand with a daily task or need their input on a large project.
Each year, United Memorial and our auxiliaries, the UMMC League and St. Jerome Guild, Inc. honor volunteers who have reached milestones in the cumulative number of hours they have volunteered. This year Guild members Priscilla Dirisio, Jean Havens and Rosemarie Monachino received pins commemorating 100 hours of service. Debbie Pellegrino, Marge Rimmer, Judy Thrasher, and Fran Wigton were honored for 1,000 hours; Betty Luperino received her 2,000 hour pin; and Mary Grace Demarse was honored for 3,000 hours.
Dorothy Baker, the 2011 Genesee County Health and Humanitarian honoree, received her 20,000 hour pin; the equivalent of more than 10 years of full time employment. Dorothy volunteers at the Jerome Center Gift Shop and Refreshment Kiosk and organizes the annual poinsettia and spring flower sales.
League members who were honored include Kathy Hoerbelt and Norma Meyers for 300 hours; Lil Irrera and Carol Smith for 500 hours; Anne Barone and Tim Weatherbee received pins for 700 hours; Doris Lindebauer reached the 1,000 hour milestone; Kay Benton the 1,500 hour; and Linda Pembroke, 3,500.
Augustine Fleming, has volunteered at United Memorial's Hope Haven unit for over 7,000 hours. Her dedicated volunteer hours to patients recovering from addiction would equal nearly four years of full time employment.
Last year, 79 individuals volunteered 14,689 hours to United Memorial; over 20 months of time compressed into one year. United Memorial measures the time they have donated since their true gifts of compassion, empathy and care they each bring to the lives of our patients, visitors and colleagues is immeasurable.

Following back-to-back misfires Jack & Jill and That's My Boy, Adam Sandler needed a hit to re-establish his box office viability — and it looks he's got one with Grown Ups 2, which topped Friday with $16.3 million. If the $80 million Sony comedy can hold off Pacific Rim and Despicable Me 2 through Sunday night, it could finish the weekend in first place with a robust $45 million, but it's going to be a close race.
Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro's $190 million robots vs. monsters adventure, took in $14.6 million on Friday, which could lead to a weekend in the $35-40 million range. (It looks like tracking — not online buzz — was right this time.) With an "A-" CinemaScore grade, Pacific Rim could have strong enough word of mouth to reach the higher end of that range and overcome the tendency of many geek-oriented titles to overperform on opening night and lose momentum through the weekend.

Sincerely, reconsidering my whole upbringing
Dear mom and dad,
Please realize we have a heater in our house.
Sincerely, your daughter who's in four layers and has six blankets
Dear caring friends,
Please understand that, although I appreciate your advice, "just be happy" is not going to work. Would you tell a diabetic to "just produce insulin".
Sincerely, Depression is a chemical imbalance, not a character flaw
Dear guy next to me at the gym,
Are you seriously just blasting your music on speaker on your iPhone?

Dear Math,
Y'know, I used to be okay with you. I didn't even mind when you and the alphabet started hooking up. But now a three-way triangle with Latin? Seriously?
Sincerely, no, you do not need a sine!
Dear Parents-to-Be,
I hate to break this to you, but talking to your kid with a British accent will not give them one too. As a child develops their linguistic abilities, they will first learn from the parents but will eventually have an accent matching their peers (who will be presumably American). Therefore, you'll need to move to Great Britain.
Sincerely, Psychology

What did Jay Gatsby say when his car ran over Myrtle Wilson?

Dear 'friend',
If you're going to say that you're against organ donation, and that you think people with life-threatening illnesses should be left to "just die", you might want to check who you're talking to first.

Dear kids who always know the gossip,
Well...I saw my teacher and my principal kissing...

Please stop saying you 'don't want to spoil my innocence' every time I don't get a sexual reference.
Sincerely, I'm a virgin, not a 5 year old.
Dear Metalhead Boyfriend,
Please know that I really do appreciate it when you get me onion rings from Sonic at 4 am. I wish I could wake you up with my voice, but I don't have one, so is extreme cuddling okay?

Dear Youtube,
I don't mind the ads. I really don't. But do you have to play the same ones over and over and over and over and over?

Dear High School Teachers,
How do you expect us to study for finals if you keep piling up our workload two weeks before the exams.
Sincerely, Maybe I was just destined to work at McDonalds...
Dear friends,
I'm really happy that you all have dates to the dance, but can we please talk about something else for a change?
Sincerely, the only one who didn't get asked
Dear friend,
You said you weren't homophobic because you like gay guys, but then you said that lesbians freak you out. *How* is that not homophobic?

Report: Frontier pilots ground Southwest deal
- Ed Sealover
Southwest Airlines and Republic Airways Holdings are scheduled to begin an auction to acquire Frontier Airlines Thursday, though Southwest reportedly has developed a problem with its pilots' union that could keep it from closing any deal.
The Dallas Morning News is reporting that pilots for Denver-based Frontier and Dallas-based Southwest could not reach an agreement Wednesday on integrating their two unions and on key issues such as seniority calculation. Such a deal must be reached before Southwest can buy Frontier and bring it out of bankruptcy, according to a bid it submitted to a federal court in New York Monday.
Spokesmen for the two airlines said they could not comment on the pilots' talks, and requests for interviews with both carriers' pilot unions were not immediately returned Thursday morning.
The Morning News article also reported that Southwest has asked for a delay in the auction process. Southwest spokeswoman Chris Mainz said, however, that he could not discuss details of what is happening at the auction.
"There are ongoing discussions at a law firm in New York at this point in time. We're still an active participant," Mainz said.
Frontier declared bankruptcy in April 2008 and has spent more than a year cutting costs and trying to exit Chapter 11. Indianapolis-based Republic has been the main provider of debtor-in-possession financing during the process, and on June 22 it announced it would pay $108.8 million to make Frontier a wholly-owned subsidiary and bring it out of bankruptcy.
A month later, Southwest made a surprise offer of $113.6 million in a bankruptcy auction and on Monday it upped that bid to roughly $170 million. With its greater infrastructure and more solid financial footing, many analysts expect Southwest to win the bidding process.

I am concerned about the proposed demolition of Redcar Library.
Redcar Library was designed by Ahrends Burton and Koralek (ABK), architects for the British Embassy in Moscow, the revered Berkeley Library, Trinity College Dublin, and many other libraries. Maidenhead Library, by the same practice, completed around the same time as Redcar Library, is a Grade II Listed Building. Redcar Library should be Listed too.
The library was built when Redcar and Maidenhead objected to the Roberts Report that smaller towns should lose their status as independent library authorities. Both were successful in securing funding for new libraries and both were designed by ABK.
I have a copy of the 1971 Official Opening booklet for the library and comparing its completion photos with those I took recently shows that the interior remains as successful and enjoyable as it was then. (Aside from some unsympathetic and easily reversible changes to the entrance).
Redcar Library is the best modern building in the town and I am very sad to see it proposed for demolition. It seems misguided that Redcar is demolishing a library which, if in other towns, would be proposed for Listing. Instead it could be upgraded as a centrepiece of a leisure/cultural quarter. Obviously, it needs external upgrading for environmental reasons - but since the building was cleverly designed with the structure exposed internally, it can be reclad and the single glazing upgraded. I suggest the original architects are approached to revisit the original drawings and make proposals.
The library is part of the culture and character of Redcar - in the original design it was requested by Redcar Council that steel should be the main building material, for obvious reasons. I used the library as a teenager and student, and my parents and family have used the building continually as a library and social centre.
Worst of all would be if the library's contents were decanted, and the building demolished only to find that the rather vague proposals for leisure and cultural use do not go ahead for lack of funds or for other reasons. This would be a disaster for the town.
Redcar Council please reconsider!
Yours faithfully,
Stephen Chance
ps, with libraries all over the country threatened by closure this is a very dangerous time to be messing around with Redcar's

A Collaborative activity for Curriculum Development of High School in Okayama among Okayama University, a High School and Stakeholders at Local Communities: From the Perspective of Challenging Un-Sustainability Issues at Local Communities Yoshiro ONO1, Masahiro HABU2, Shino MOHRI3, Hideki YAMAMOTO4 Graduate School of Environmental Science, Okayama University 3-1-1, Tsushima-Naka, Okayama City 700-8530 Japan Web page: http://ambiente.okayama-u.ac.jp/en/index.html 1 Professor, e-mail: email@example.com 2 Researcher, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com 3 Associate Professor, e-mai.: firstname.lastname@example.com 4 Associate Professor, e-mail: email@example.com Abstract While the Graduate School of Environmental Science, Okayama University has been engaged in promotion of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) for these 2 years, from the earlier year, there had been some activities to promote ESD at local level. The following is one of such activities for ESD. One of the projects of UNESCO Chair at Okayama University focuses on un- sustainability issues at rural communities, such as the aging society and depopulation, and their incidental problems like not-well kept natural trails in the mountains in the tourist areas, and insufficient inheritance of local traditions deeply linked to maintenance activities of infrastructures in the community. In this project, these issues are taken into consideration in the high school whose curriculum has the perspectives of ESD, so that high school students can participate in the community development in some ways. Not only professors but also undergraduate and graduate students participate in this project, and stakeholders at the communities also have been joining this process as important informants and as inhabitants. The present situation of the project, and the outcomes and challenges will be presented as an example of university's contribution to curriculum development and community development. 1 1. Introduction The International Implementation Scheme for the United Nations Decade on Education for Sustainable Development (hereinafter with ESD) identified four thrusts for ESD in order to embody its basic vision " a world where everyone has the opportunity to benefit from education and learn the values, behaviour, and lifestyles required for a sustainable future and for positive societal transformation"; improving access to quality basic education; reorienting existing education programmes; developing public understanding and awareness of sustainability; and providing training. As the IIS emphasizes, it should be recognized that how sustainable development and related educational processes are attained will vary from context to context. Therefore it is crucial to identify challenges of sustainability both at local, national and international level, and it is local residents and stakeholders that should have ownership about the challenges of their region. Then appropriate solutions to them can be found. In Okayama, Japan, there have been several international meetings on ESD for this 5 years in cooperation among Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the theme of collaboration and cooperation among Formal Education institutions and Non-Formal Education institutions has been the very point of discussion on how ESD should be promoted at local level as well as at international level. Recently, this theme has been discussed in light of promotion of Life-Long Learning society and Knowledge-Based Society. This paper focuses on the activities of Kominkans, Non-Formal Education institutions in Japan 1 . They have educational and learning activities of the environmental issues, intercultural understanding and so forth. While some of them have a collaborative programmes with schools, it is the challenge how to promote effectively collaboration among Formal and Non-Formal Education institutions. And the Graduate School of Environmental Science, Okayama University has been collaborating with Yakage Prefectural High School (hereinafter with Yakage High School) and Shiraishi Kominkan, in order to implement ESD toward high school students and to provide possible solutions of sustainability to the community of Shiraishi Island. 1 Okayama City has been designated on 2005 by the United Nations University as one of Regional Centres of Expertise for ESD, and one of its characteristics is active engagement of Kominkans. 2 Many international documents on promoting ESD, in order to realize them, indicate the important roles of Non-Formal Education institutions and their collaboration with Formal Education institutions. And as the Annex I of the IIS mentions as key characteristics of ESD, ESD engages formal, non-formal and informal education. This paper introduces the efforts among Okayama University and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and Formal and Non-Formal Education institutions, for introducing principles of sustainable development into educational programmes, pick out a case of Shiraishi island in Okayama prefecture, Japan. 2. Preliminary explanation a. ESD at Formal Education in Okayama In Japan, there has been the movement of reform of formal education, in order to adapt it to the societal environment. A Period of Integrated Study is one of the outcomes of this discussion, introducing the theme of intercultural understanding, social welfare and health care, career development, and environmental education into primary and secondary education curriculum, and also the efforts for safe and secure communities are being made in cooperation among educational institutions and communities groups. These efforts are seen as those for integrating an agenda of sustainable development in their surrounding communities. In general, however, teachers in primary and secondary education have not been provided with teacher trainings on environmental education and learning. In the schools where there are some teachers who are motivated to be trained in teacher-training courses provided by the national and prefectural governments or in the post-graduate courses in universities, environmental education can be implemented effectively, but it can be said that there are few. And in Japanese educational system, any certificates or license of teachers as to the subject of the Environment or Intercultural Understanding, or etc., are not be provided, so teachers have to find resource persons who are able to provide such educational and learning programmes to students. Ministries and NGOs consider that coordinators who can bridge schools and resource persons and the external entities, should be provided. Who is eligible for the coordinators? 3 b. ESD at Non-Formal and Informal Education in Okayama and Japan There are some NFE settings in Japan at every level; Kominkan at community level, lifelong learning center and institute, and museum at city, prefecture and national level. These institutions provide both educational courses and places for the general public. NGOs and CSOs often provide educational activities for them at the places of these institutions. And many universities have the lifelong learning courses targeting the general public who are not their students, aiming at disseminating their educational and research outcomes. Especially, Kominkan is the unique institution for NFE in Japan. Kominkan has been providing a lifelong learning activities for the general public in the way of community based approach, under Social Education Act enacted in 1949. There are some 17,947 Kominkans around Japan which were established by local governments. The Board of Education in every local government is responsible of entire management of their Kominkans. According to "The Kominkan", the publication of National Kominkan Association, it has three kinds of activity; community based activities; activities for children and for heightening the cultivation of the local residents; and local networking activities. While they are educational institutions, Kominkan has been playing an important role of community development. And Kominkan has been providing learning activities by adapting them to local contexts. In this term, some Kominkans consider itself as central organs for promoting ESD at local level. And in Okayama, "ESD" is considered as chance to reform and revitalize educational and learning activities in Kominkans. Since networking is one of the central roles of Kominkan's activities, Kominkan can bridges stakeholders to coordinate programmes of ESD activities. c. ESD at Higher Education Institutions and Okayama University We can say that while societies in Japan have been developing, "Education" in formal setting has been separated from community development issues by focusing on the fundamental subjects such as language, mathematics, sciences. And each subject as a system, is not linked with others and also with life of society. More, it can be said that this too-much-emphasized separation of subjects has been derived from ways of research and education in higher education institutions. Now many efforts have been done in many universities for integrating knowledge in many sciences for contributing 4 them to the development of the communities. In Okayama University, after establishing the Graduate School of Environmental Science, many efforts have been done both inside and outside its campus. Many NGOs and CSOs in Okayama have been making efforts to promote ESD activities, and advocating to governments, inter-governmental organizations like UNESCO and UNU, NGOs, and universities, etc. Okayama University has responded these efforts to integrate the principles of sustainable development into its educational and research activities. The establishment of UNESCO Chair in Research and Education for Sustainable Development at Okayama University is one of the outcomes from this effort. The UNESCO Chair in Okayama University aims to provide such educational opportunities as students and experts can take courses for learning and researching environmental science in trans-disciplinary, problem-solving, and participatory approach, so that they can undertake programmes and activities of environmental education in their own communities and countries 3. Collaborative Project among Okayama University, Shiraishi Kominkan and Yakage High School a. Outline of the project Professors of the Graduate School of Environmental Science of Okayama University, Shiraishi Kominkan and Yakage High School have been cooperating to develop the curriculum of environmental education at high school level. At first, the starting point was the programme of the Education Bureau of Okayama Prefecture, which is in charge of management of high schools in the prefecture. The Bureau has proposed some schools to launch pilot projects of how environmental education should be integrated at secondary education level. The cooperation between the Graduate School and the High School has started since then. There were no experiences in the High School, so a teacher has often come to the laboratory of the Graduate School, to jointly develop the curriculum. In the other hand, the professors of the Graduate School has other projects in Shiraishi Island (hereinafter with "the Island"), which is part of the National Park designated by the Japanese Government in 1934 for its outstanding landscape typical to Japan. The Island as the same like other islands in Seto-uchi inland sea, however, has 5 been suffering from depopulation and aging society, leading to not-well lands and tourist courses management. And these problems could cause degradation of natural and social environment of the Island. The professors were invited by the Ministry of the Environment to research the present situation of the islands and the problem that it causes, including those of the National Park scheme. In conducting research, a director of Shiraishi Kominkan, who has lived for some 60 years and thus know the best about the Island, helped them. The professors have considered the field of the Island could be suitable for case studies of environmental education of Yakage High School under the collaboration among Okayama University, Shiraishi Kominkan and Yakage High School. b. Curriculum Development and Implementation Draft of the curriculum was developed in consultation among teachers and professors. And professors, especially Prof. Yoshiro ONO, have been supervising the development and implementation of this curriculum of environmental education. In the regular curriculum, the subject of "the Environment" has not been included at high school level. This curriculum includes the subject of the Environment and it will be implemented for the term of 3 years. The aim of this subject is for students; to have their interests and concerns towards natural environment and the environmental problems surrounding them; to have skills and thinking and make their decisions in the environmentally considered way, based on the comprehensive recognition and awareness about relationship between human beings and natural environment; and to have behavior and lifestyle to take actions for their local environment. Environmental Education cannot be completed only with in-room lectures, so field visits programmes are included and they are implemented in cooperation with external organizations. And during this curriculum development, the perspective of sustainability was integrated. As described below, students visit to Shiraishi Island to see its environmental situation, and also sustainability situation, such as depopulation and aging society, and the environmental degradation that it has been causing. In this sense, this curriculum has integrated not only environmental perspective, but also social and cultural one. At first year, all students have to take "the Environment: Basic" as a compulsory subject. In this course, basic concepts about the environment and sustainability are the 6 topics, such as life cycle, local contamination, etc. Students visit a final disposal center of solid wastes, a wind power generation site, and a town where 3R project is implemented actively by separating wastes into more than 30 parts. Then, students can take courses of "the Environment: Practice I and II", and "Environmental Science". These courses are set as optional subjects in 2nd and 3rd years. There are not only in-room lectures, but also field visits and practical learning activities. The High School takes into consideration that those students who don't take these courses have many opportunities to learn more about natural environment and local and global sustainability. For example, in the school excursion to Okinawa or Hokkaido, the programme of environmental learning activities such as nature games and rowing on the sea, are always included. And extracurricular activities are encouraged, such as joining in the environmental conservation activities in the local river and volunteering activities to assist management of a small aquarium set in the local museum. c. Field Visit to Shiraishi Island One of the outstanding activities in this curriculum is the field visit to Shiraishi Island. This visit was successfully done in cooperation and comprehensive support with Shiraishi Kominkan. About Shiraishi Island Shiraishi Island is one of the Kasaoka islands, located off the coast of Kasaoka, at the center of the Seto-uchi inland sea, Okayama Prefecture (see the right map and picture). The number of population is some 730, and the rate of elder population (more than 65 year-old) is some 55 percent. Main industries are fishery and tourism. Depopulation and increasing rate of elder population are the main challenges of these islands. Kasaoka city government and CSOs 7 have been cooperating for community development and revitalization of the islands, by inventing the products manufactured locally, and promoting their sales, and by attracting people to the islands. Shiraishi Island has a long history and traditions. It has been developed by extending the reclaimed land for the cultivation of rice, vegetables and fruits, since 17th century. Shiraishi Odori (dance) is the designated National Intangible Heritage, and this dance was developed also in 17th century. This tradition has been very important for life in the island. As nowadays the number of the younger generation is decreasing, the inheritance of the tradition is the big task for the island, and the seminars for learning the dance have been held throughout a year both inside and outside the island. Management and maintenance of reclaimed land and inheritance of the traditions are affected by depopulation and the aging. Decreasing the rate of younger generation have been affecting worse the sustainability of the island community. About Shiraishi Kominkan Shiraishi Kominkan has dual roles in the Island. The first is the provision of lifelong learning activities towards the population. There are mainly learning activities for inheritance of the traditions, such as learning the traditional way of spinning of the thread from the cotton produced in the island, or exercising of performance of Japanese traditional dram (Taiko). And editing the history and tradition of the Island is included in its projects. The second is the promotion of community development in the island. Interestingly, the office of Shiraishi Kominkan has the function of branch office of Kasaoka city government. There are a community development committee, aiming at coordination of the activities of industry promotion, environmental conservation, social welfare promotion, and ICT and culture promotion. Many associations and clubs of elders, women, fishermen etc., participate in the committee, and Kominkan plays a central part for the coordination. In addition, the committee has been assisted by CSOs relating to community development in Kasaoka islands. This means Shiraishi Kominkan have a potential to coordinate and network the issue of community development and learning activities. And this centrality of Shiraishi Kominkan led to networking of Okayama University and Yakage High School, focusing on the challenges of sustainability of the Island. 8 The content of the field visit Students of Yakage High School visited Shiraishi Island as part of environmental education programme of the high school this July. There were lectures and practices, to learn the sustainability issues in Shiraihi Island. The programmes are; The present situation and challenges in Shiraishi Island Let's know more about Shiraishi Island Sea Kayak Coast Cleaning activity Experience of Shiraishi Odori (Dance) Trekking on the hill and Cleaning on the tourist walk course Lecture and discussion on sustainable society These activities were planned and implemented in cooperation among professors and students of Okayama University, teachers of Yakage High School and staff of Shiraishi Kominkan. In the activities, waste problems were found by high school students. Especially, when moving to the inhabited island, there were many wastes floating on the sea and washed up on the coast. Some wastes were produced by tourist, and others came from somewhere. This experience moved students to consider and take actions about their lifestyle In the lecture of Shiraishi Odori (dance), culture and traditions of the Island were also explained by the Kominkan staffs. Students learned the important role for sustainability of the society of the culture and traditions. In the trekking, students saw how the walk and course have been managed for a long time, and how difficult it should be done in the depopulated and aging society. They assisted to clean and maintain the walk and trekking course. In addition, there was the lecture on the maintenance of reclamation system of the island. As written above, the island was developed by the reclamation. Nowadays, tradition of reclamation and technology were forgotten. If irrigation system and buffer ponds are not well managed, the environmental sustainability of the island cannot be maintained. And in the depopulated and aging society, this kind of management and maintenance are not so easy without younger generation. Assistance from the people outside the islands is critical for the sustainability of the Island. In the discussion, students concluded their experiences and their reflection on how they can do for realization of a sustainable society. 9 Reflections Through the lectures and experiences, students found the reality of the problems of the environment and sustainability, such as waste problem, difficulties in the depopulated and aging society. Since it is possible that reality of Shiraishi Island can come to the entire Japanese society, many students took its reality seriously. At the same time, many students came to consider voluntarily what they can do for such kind of issues. And after the field visit, some students communicated their experiences to the same generation and next generation in the places of school festival and extracurricular activities. Last, many students felt that they could learn by enjoying the cultural and traditional events and experiences. d. Conclusion The efforts of curriculum development and implementation of environmental education by Okayama University, Yakage High School and Shiraishi Kominkan have just started. However, in this project, integration of Community Development and Formal and Non-Formal Education is the very outstanding point. In many Formal Education and Non-Formal Education institutions, "development issues" or "sustainability issues" of the community are likely to be forgotten in Japan. In this sense, Kominkan has the important role and potential to play in the promotion of Education for Sustainable Development. Considering that the outcomes of this project include, as the outstanding point, the changes in lifestyle of students of Yakage High School, this process and outcome of this project can be mentioned as a success. Although issues of sustainability in one community vary from those of others, it is the key to find the person or agent who can find the problems and solutions and coordinate the stakeholders. In this case, especially, Kominkan staff played this role for joining and integrating forces and knowledge necessary for this environmental education project.

WND: Real journalism
WND is the the only website that gives the most accurate view of what's going on. Rather than try and entertain, as most media giants do, WND informs on the most relevant and important issues of our day!
Real journalism – can you spell it, Mr. and Mrs John Q. American? Why were we given a free press? First and foremost to expose government corruption. CNS, Drudge and Savage all help, but none informs like WND. The choice of issues to cover and depth of information given, because we need to know, is unparalleled.

Georgia judge bought off?
Since Obama didn't show for the hearing in Georgia ["Judge says Obama can be on Georgia ballot"], shouldn't he have been held in contempt of court like any U.S. citizen would have been? Was he not held in contempt because he has diplomatic immunity as a foreigner? It appears the judge in this case was bought off.
Marshall Heinold
Find the flaw!
One of you geniuses at WND should see if Judge Michael Malihi filed his oath of office within the requirements of the statutes of the State of Georgia.
If he filed incorrectly, too early, too late, had his oath administered by someone who failed to file his or her oath of office within the requirements, or any of 12 other fatal defects, then his ruling has no basis in law, is null and void, and Malihi must be removed from office.
But then again, you guys are much smarter than I am even though I've done this successfully in California, and you did a ... continue reading »
What dumbing down has wrought
I certainly believe there are some very questionable things going on in the GOP, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a conspiracy to get Mitt Romney elected.
I do believe that the party is now controlled by a bunch of egghead elitist progressives (nice name for socialists). Considering the fact that these elitists are dealing with a society that has been dumbed down by our government-controlled schools and a predominantly government-controlled media for the past 50-plus years, they can pretty easily "sell" their candidate of choice to the now-ignorant electorate! Maybe it's not a conspiracy, but it's ... continue reading »
The ultimate NBC question
Dear Mr. Farah,
I agree with you on the natural born citizen issue. However, I would like to suggest a simpler, easier to understand and test for whether or not any individual is a natural born citizen.
All anyone needs to know about whether or not a person is an NBC is the answer to this question: Can ANY nation other than the United States claim this child as a citizen of their nation on the day of his or her birth? If NO, then NBC. If YES, then not NBC.
Period. End of story.

Commentary's silliness
Dear Mr Farah,
As you might have guessed, for reasons that completely elude me you have indeed struck a sore point at Commentary magazine. I admire you greatly, so there is a certain pleasure in finding myself in the same boat with you … reflected glory and all that sort of thing.
For myself, I was a subscriber and a donor to Commentary for literally decades … up until 2009. At that time I raised the question of the constitutional qualifications of the current inhabitant of the White House in my response to one of Commentary's editorial blurbs, and was informed b ... continue reading »
