Every Tuesday over the summer, members of the College’sRotaract Club tended to a large garden in Vale Cemetery, part ofthe club’s Seed to Feed project. They grew mostly collardgreens, potatoes and onions. They also cultivated friendshipswith younger students in Roots and Wisdom, a youth agriculturaland community service program of Cornell CooperativeExtension of Schenectady County.

While they cleared weeds and watered the vegetables and herbs,the SCCC students got to know youth involved in the program,working alongside them in the summer sun.

According to Debbie Forester, Program Director for Roots andWisdom, team leader Donald Simon, a Business Administrationmajor, became a mentor to young men in the program. “One ofthe unintended consequences was the amount of time Donaldspent with the youth,” Forester said. “He was a real role modeland mentor to them.” Donald recalls one young man having aproblem at home and listening to him as they worked in thegarden. “I just told him that it could be worse and gave him thebest information I had that I thought would help him,” Donald said.

Sarah Johnston, Vice President of Rotaract and a HumanServices/Paralegal major, also spent time in the garden. “It wasfun working with the high school kids,” she said. “We joined inwith them and wanted to know what they were all about.”

In September, Donald, Sarah and others took collard greens,kale, herbs and tomatoes to the City Mission of Schenectady, fora meal they prepared and served to guests at the mission.

One of the goals of Rotaract is to provide students with profes-sional development, leadership and community service experi-ence. This project definitely fit the bill. “My respect level forhow events are planned went way up,” Donald said. “We learnedhow you need to get volunteers, get the goods there, cook, thewhole thing.”

The Rotaract Club, the College component of RotaryInternational professional service organization, invites studentsfrom all majors to join. Anyone interested should attend theirmeeting on Monday, Oct. 15, from 11:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m. in theLibrary Conference Room. Meetings are held every two weeks atthe same time, same place.

EJO celebrates 20 yearsWhere do the EJO players come from? They’re allperformers in the area. Many of them are musicteachers; some are near or full-time performers and allare very well-known in music circles in the area. JonBronk, lead trumpet player, Keith Pray, lead altosaxophone, Bob Halek, drums, are all alumni. A goodnumber of players are on the faculty here: Brett Wery,woodwinds, Brian Patneaude, saxophone/woodwinds,and Cliff Brucker, piano.

Your favorite EJO moments? Our first concert of themusic of Gil Evans we had Lew Soloff here from Blood,Sweat and Tears. We played music that Gil had writtenfor Miles Davis. It was the first time we played music of extreme difficulty and we found that if we reallyworked, we could do it at a credible level. And then there are all of the guest stars that we’ve beenlucky enough to have here - Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, Randy Brecker, Slide Hampton and David “Fathead” Newman.

What’s on tap for the next 20 years? We’re lucky tocontinue to have support from the College president andthe board of trustees. What is most important is that theband continues to improve and to play a wider variety ofimportant music at the highest level that we can.

The EJO performance is funded in part through a SchenectadyCounty Initiative Program grant.
