Brookside students get their hands dirty in the garden with CCE
SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Cornell Cooperative Extension was teaching elementary students how to get their hands dirty, and start their own garden. CCE met with several classrooms at Susquehanna Valley's Brookside Elementary to give a lesson on growing plants. Two years ago, CCE helped build the wooden garden beds that the classes are using. The initiative is part of CE's farm-to-school program, focused on teaching students where our food comes from. Before planting, each student got to try a bite of fresh spinach and arugula.A 4th grader, Robert Carangelo, had never gardened before, but says he had a blast. 'And I've never tried gardening before. So, when I go home, I'm going to ask my family to start a garden. Probably potatoes, strawberries, mangos, and apples,' Carangelo said. The students were taught how to properly space the plants around one foot apart. Every student dug their own hole and planted it themselves.

SUNY Broome simulates disaster scenarios with local EMS
TOWN OF DICKINSON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Controlled chaos on SUNY Broome's campus today, as several programs and local EMS teamed up to create a realistic version of a tragic accident. Over 300 students participated in the mock accident, acting as victims, triage officers, law enforcement, and others. In the fictional scenario, a group of friends were hosting a graduation party when a car drove into a crowd, killing and injuring several people. The mock accident is a chance for students to experience what a real emergency might feel like, everything from the blood to people screaming. One student involved Ayden Doolittle, was playing a Public Information Officer, and we interviewed him amidst the chaos. 'We've got everybody from nurses, to EMS workers, to law enforcement. So, there's a lot of people here that have never seen anything like this. This is a very big situation, and especially with all of the noise that's going around. We've got people screaming, we've got birthing mothers, we've got even news here, trying to talk to us, it's a lot, and it's going to be a lot of pressure on everybody,' Doolittle said. Before the event started, SUNY Broome made several announcements to the surrounding community that the noise and sirens were a planned drill. This is the college's 10th mock disaster.
