First students graduate from FLCC mechatronics program

Christopher Godfrey inspects his work in a mechatronic technology lab in November. He graduated a month later with two job offers.
The first students graduated from the new Finger Lakes Community College Mechatronics Technology program on Dec. 12, a few with multiple job offers.

FLCC launched the 12-week program in September after two years of working with local advanced manufacturers to establish a course in the mechanical and electronic fundamentals common to their businesses. Training included three nationally recognized industry certifications in soldering and safety.

“Thank you for stepping up to the plate and graduating from this program. There are a lot of companies out there that are desperately seeking workers with the skills and certifications that you now have,” Joe Hamm, regional director for the New York State Department of Labor, told the graduates during a ceremony at the Technical Career Training Institute (TCTI) on Route 251.

Graduates are, from Monroe County: Zachary Berardi of Rochester and Christopher Godfrey of Spencerport; from Ontario County: Scott Rose of Bloomfield, Matthew Bognaski of Canandaigua, Darlene Keating of Farmington and Joseph D’Amico of Geneva; and from Wayne County: Thomas DiPasquale of Macedon, Frederick Van Cassele and Nicholas Howes of Marion, James Lieber of Ontario and Connor Brown of Walworth.

The students attended classes and labs at TCTI, a business that partnered with FLCC to supply facilities and equipment.

TCTI partners Kevin Lootens and Bob Sciscento built the facility for their own training needs in the CNC machine service and repair business, and Mike Manikowski, economic developer for Ontario County, put them in touch with FLCC. The college had a well-established job training partnership with G.W. Lisk Co. in Clifton Springs and applied a similar approach in creating the new program.

FLCC developed the mechatronics program in consultation with G.W. Lisk and Victor companies New Scale Technologies, Advanced Interconnect Manufacturing (AIM) and Surmotech. Lynn Freid, FLCC director of workforce development, stressed the importance of collaboration among business, government and education: “None of us, individually, have the resources to offer a training program like this. Leveraging our collective resources is how we got here today,” she said at the event.

“Manufacturing has changed,” Manikowski noted in his graduation remarks. “It has changed dramatically, but it is still the heart and soul of the economy.”

Nick Howes watches instructor Sharon Bovenzi while Christopher Godfrey follows along on a computer screen showing an enlarged image.
While traditional, assembly-line manufacturing has declined, advanced manufacturing is growing in the Rochester region. Advanced manufacturers use computer-driven machinery, typically in clean, climate-controlled environments to make precision components and high-tech equipment. The work requires skill beyond a high school education but not necessarily a college degree, prompting FLCC, like many community colleges, to fill in the gap by developing short-term training programs.

“FLCC exists at the nexus of economic development and workforce development,” Hamm noted. “It’s not just one of the best community colleges in the state. This is one of the best community colleges in the country.”

The mechatronic technology course will be offered again, starting Feb. 16, 2015. It is one of three advanced manufacturing offerings at FLCC early next year. Other courses are:
  • Advanced Manufacturing Operator: This 12-week course, starting March 2, provides an introduction to manufacturing with training in technical math, print reading, measurement, and basic electrical, mechanical and computer skills.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Machinist: A six-month program, starting March 16, that provides training in metal properties and machine tools necessary for production of precision components for a wide range of industries, from medical to aerospace.

A general information session for all FLCC advanced manufacturing programs is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 8, from 9 to 11 a.m. and again from 6 to 8 p.m. at the FLCC main campus. Participants can register for the information session or get more information at (585) 785-1906.

For the third year in a row, Finger Lakes Community College will host basketball games between high school rivals Canandaigua and Victor to benefit local charities.

The third Commodore Cup will be held on Friday, Dec. 19, in the gym at the FLCC main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua. The girls team plays at 6 p.m. and the boys 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.

The event is named for its sponsor, Commodore Plastics, a foam products company in East Bloomfield. Brad Braddon, president of Commodore Plastics, has children in Victor schools and his siblings, Jeff and Anne, have children in the Canandaigua district.

The Victor and Canandaigua booster clubs organized the inaugural event in 2012 with the help of Frank Clark, the then-boys basketball coach in Victor; Mike Broderick, the boys basketball coach in Canandaigua; and Bob Lowden, FLCC athletic director. More than $4,000 has been raised to benefit the Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard and the Canandaigua Churches in Action food pantry.

Entry is $5 general admission or $3 with student ID. Funds will also be raised with 50/50 raffles.

Several FLCC athletes and coaches will help run the event.

“This event furthers our mission of developing our student athletes into good citizens and servant leaders,” said Lowden. “We’re pleased to help support these worthwhile charities.”

Doug Emblidge, anchor at 13WHAM news in Rochester, will emcee an awards ceremony following the games, while the public address system will be manned by Pete “The Mayor” Kennedy, host of the morning show on Rochester radio station 100.5 The Drive.

The Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard and the Canandaigua Churches in Action food pantry each serve about 400 households per month.

Finger Lakes Community College offers local residents age 17 and older free classes in January to prepare for the high school diploma equivalency exam.

The exam, called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC, replaced the exam for the general equivalency diploma, or GED. Last year’s pass rate for students who completed high school equivalency preparation at FLCC was 94 percent.

Class size for TASC preparation is small. Work is self-paced, meaning students can work with an instructor on the skills they need most. Students will learn test-taking strategies and take practice exams. All classes are free of charge.

TASC preparation classes are offered both days and evenings in Canandaigua. Day classes are offered in Geneva, Newark, Lyons and Penn Yan. Evening classes are available in Sodus, Wolcott and Victor.

Some classes are at FLCC facilities; others are held at community organizations such as the Salvation Army in Canandaigua, the Yates County Workforce Development Office in Penn Yan and the North Rose-Wolcott High School.

For the schedule, call (585) 785-1431 or 785-1544 or check the Adult Basic Education section of the FLCC website at www.flcc.edu/developmental.

TASC classes are available in Spanish on Thursday evenings in January at the Lyons Community Library at 122 Broad St. FLCC’s English as a Second Language classes are also offered in January in Geneva.

Before beginning one of these programs, students must make an appointment to attend an orientation, which includes basic math and reading tests. Orientation sessions are offered in Canandaigua, Geneva, Lyons and Newark. To make an appointment, call (585) 785-1431 or 785-1544.

The Commodore Cup fundraiser tournament at FLCC Dec. 19 raised $5,000 for local food pantries. The Cananadaigua Academy boys topped Victor's Blue Devils, while Victor's girls won their game against CA.
A charity basketball tournament recently hosted by Finger Lakes Community College raised $5,000 for two local food pantries.

The third annual Commodore Cup on Dec. 19 featured contests between the boys and girls basketball teams at rival high schools Victor and Canandaigua Academy. 

The bleachers in the FLCC gymnasium were packed for the event that was emceed by 13WHAM anchors Doug Emblidge and Jennifer Johnson. Canandaigua native and 100.5 The Drive radio host Pete “The Mayor” Kennedy served as announcer of the boys’ game, while Don Blanding of Victor announced the girls’ game. A play-by-play was broadcast by Craig Simmons on WFLK 104.5. The Canandaigua boys varsity team topped Victor, 59-44, while the Victor girls won their matchup with Canandaigua, 52-44.

Funds were raised from ticket sales, along with raffles and sponsor donations. Half of the proceeds will go to the Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard, which feeds nearly 700 families per month. The remaining $2,500 goes to Canandaigua Churches in Action, which now serves about 400 families each month. 

“We’re pleased to see this event continue to grow since it means more families in need will be helped this holiday season,” said Bob Lowden, FLCC’s athletic director. “It’s not only a worthwhile cause, but also a fun event.” 

The event is named for its sponsor, Commodore Plastics, a foam products company in East Bloomfield. Brad Braddon, president of Commodore Plastics, has children in Victor schools and his siblings, Jeff and Anne, have children in the Canandaigua district.

The Victor and Canandaigua booster clubs organized the inaugural event in 2012 with the help of Lowden; Frank Clark, the then-boys basketball coach in Victor; and Mike Broderick, the boys’ basketball coach in Canandaigua. 

The Commodore Cup extended this year to matchups the night before, on Dec. 18, between junior varsity boys and girls basketball teams at the two schools. Those contests, held at Victor High School, raised almost $350 of the proceeds.

Fifth- and sixth-grade travel teams from the two districts also got in the action, playing scrimmages during the half times of each of the varsity games at FLCC on Dec. 19.

In keeping with the spirit of the Commodore Cup, two student athletes from each district were honored for their volunteer service. Canandaigua’s Madi Sears and Ian Brown received plaques, as did Victor’s MacKenzie Dowdle and Alec DeCarlo. Emblidge was also honored for volunteering his time for the event each year.

Organizers hope to continue the tradition with another matchup in 2015. Anyone wishing to pitch in with sponsorships, donations or other support can contact FLCC’s Lowden at (585) 785-1459 or email Robert.Lowden@flcc.edu.

A team approach to getting more skilled workers

Leaders in business and education from across the region will gather at Monroe Community College on Jan. 28 to discuss partnerships that will better prepare young and mid-career workers for current and future jobs.

The event is sponsored by the trade group Finger Lakes Advanced Manufacturers’ Enterprise and
called “Driving a New National Skills Policy: Why Local Partnerships Like FAME Make a Difference.”

Andy Van Kleunen
The conference runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28, at Monroe Community College's Warshof Conference Center, R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center on the Brighton Campus, 1000 East Henrietta Road. Registration is required. The $25 fee is waived for educators at the online site: www.nyfame.org. Parking is available in lots M and M1. For details, call (315) 521-7826.

The keynote speaker is Andy Van Kleunen, founder and executive director of the National Skills Coalition, which campaigns for policies that will ensure a stable supply of 21st century “middle-skill” workers. The term middle-skill refers to jobs that require more than a high school education but not necessarily a four-year degree.  

Van Kleunen will discuss key workforce topics, including the new WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding that has been restructured to favor partnership strategies.

“No sector can operate in a vacuum. We need schools and colleges to train tomorrow’s workers, but they can use our insight to make sure they are teaching the most relevant skills and knowledge,” said Mike Mandina, chair of FAME. “Andy will help bring focus and force to this idea.”

Anne Kress, president of Monroe Community College, will give the welcome, and Mandina will update attendees on FAME initiatives. The event will feature a discussion panel on building business and education partnerships, the presentation of the Star Award to an educator who prepares students for work in advanced manufacturing, and networking.

This event is hosted by the Finger Lakes Advanced Manufacturers’ Enterprise (FAME), Finger Lakes Workforce Investment Board (FLWIB), Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), Finger Lakes Community College and Monroe Community College.

Get the details Feb. 10 on new FLCC job training partnership with ITT Goulds Pumps

Finger Lakes Community College and ITT Goulds Pumps have signed an agreement to expand the college’s advanced manufacturing machinist program to the company’s facility in Seneca Falls.

The college’s partnership with the global industrial pump manufacturer will allow more people to enter a six-month program that provides training in skills in high demand in the Finger Lakes region.

“ITT Goulds Pumps is making a significant investment by making room at its facility for this program. We know the best training takes place in an industry setting, so we could not have done this without them,” said Lynn Freid, FLCC director of workforce development.

Anyone interested in the program should attend an information and interview session on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 9 a.m. at ITT Goulds Pumps, 240 Fall St., Seneca Falls. Signups will be handled by the FLCC Office of Professional Development and Continuing Education at (585) 785-1906. 

Students study technical math, machine shop safety, robotics, metallurgy, engineering drawing, geometric dimensioning and CNC, or computer-controlled, mill and lathe operation.

“This program will help bring needed manufacturing skills to ITT Goulds Pumps. Along with the investments in our business, this is an equally important investment in talent to prepare us for the future,” said Mike Dellefave, director and general manager for the company’s engineered products operation.

FLCC first developed the program in 2011 with G.W. Lisk Co., a maker of solenoids and valves in Clifton Springs, to address a persistent need among advanced manufacturers in the region for skilled workers. Graduates of the previous four six-month sessions all had jobs or job offers by the end of the program.

“These partnerships effectively impact a skilled workforce pipeline. Class sizes are small due to the need for one-on-one interaction with the instructor and the ability to practice on the most modern equipment. This is why industry partners like ITT Goulds Pumps are so important,” Freid said.

Lacey McKinney's "Imaginary Order" will be among the pieces displayed in the Arts Faculty Biennial Exhibition at Finger Lakes Community College.
Members of the Finger Lakes Community College art faculty will open an exhibit of their work with a reception in the Williams-Insalaco Gallery 34 on Thursday, Feb. 12.

The opening reception for the Arts Faculty Biennial Exhibition runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the gallery on the first floor of the main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Dr., Canandaigua. The reception, sponsored by the FLCC Foundation, is free and open to the public.

The show gives the college and community a unique opportunity to see the work of art faculty members outside the classroom. “The exhibition includes a broad range of media and styles, reflecting the diverse, creative interests of our faculty,” said Barron Naegel, assistant professor of art and director of the Williams-Insalaco Gallery 34. 

Naegel’s mixed media sculptures will be included in the exhibit, along with drawings and paintings created by his colleague, Sarah Morgan, assistant professor of art. Liz Brownell, associate professor of graphic design, will show digital mixed-media illustrations, including work completed on a recent sabbatical. 

Lacey McKinney, instructor of art, will make her debut in the campus gallery. She’ll display two paintings, “Merge” and “Imaginary Order,” which she created during an artists’ residency at Contemporary Artists Center at Woodside in Troy in June 2013. 

“They are part of my continuing body of work that investigates the themes surrounding self, other and identity,” McKinney said. “As far as my work in a broad sense, I often include the body and portraiture to address content relating to gender, sexuality, phenomenology and technology from an interactive and philosophical standpoint.”

Other faculty exhibitors will include Barbara Senglaub, instructional specialist, and adjunct instructors David Ditzel, Elaine Verstraete, and John Nihart. 

Nihart’s welded metal sculptures were recently featured in a solo exhibit in the gallery.

The Arts Faculty Biennial Exhibition runs through March 13. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. 

For information, contact Barron Naegel at gallery34@flcc.edu or (585) 785-1369.

For the first time in its nearly 50-year history, FLCC will host the National Junior College Athletic Association Region III Division III Men’s Basketball Championship. From Friday, Feb. 27, to Sunday, March 1, eight teams will face off in competitions. Among them will be the FLCC Lakers, who claimed 20 wins in 24 games so far this season.

The teams will play the tournament quarterfinals Friday afternoon and evening. The four winners will face off in the semi-finals on Saturday. The championship game will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday. The tournament champion will advance to the 2015 NJCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship hosted by Sullivan County Community College in Loch Sheldrake March 12 to 14.

Admission to the games is free with an FLCC ID or $5 for each session. A $15 tournament pass will also be available, offering admission to all games and a program.

Finger Lakes Community College will host the three-member improvisational band The Ensemble of Irreproducible Outcomes at the Honors House on Tuesday, Feb. 24.

The 8 p.m. concert is free and open to the public. The Honors House is located at 4340 Lakeshore Drive, Canandaigua, across from the FLCC main campus. This concert had been previously scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25; however, the date was changed after the college spring 2015 arts brochure was released.

The Ensemble of Irreproducible Outcomes, or EIO, is made up of composers David D. McIntire, Ryan Oldham and Brian Padavic. Formed in 2012, the group performs works designed to be different each time they are played, making each performance “irreproducible.”
McIntire plays the clarinet, saxophone, ocarina and electronics. Oldham is a trumpeter who also produces unique sound with found objects, whistling and voice. Padavic also whistles and plays the double bass.

Each member of the trio studied music at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. McIntire has a local connection, having earned degrees at Nazareth and Ithaca College.
