MayFest: April 22
As many of you know, Syracuse University students have been working to produce their own version of a sound walk for Onondaga Creek. SU holds an annual MayFest in April for sharing such projects, and this year it falls on Tuesday the 22nd. We invite you to come out to campus to hear student productions in progress.
The students will be available to answer your questions in the Dome from 9 AM to 3 PM, where you can hear the first version of two group projects on a boombox. Also, a short radio piece by Stef Quam and Eduard Tabaku will be featured at the The Division of Student Affairs Civic Engagement and Sustainability Council showcase from 10 AM to 4 PM in Room 304 of the Schine Student Center.
For more information and a schedule of the days activities go to:

swimming UP THE CREEK!
Today I visited several spots along Onondaga Creek with teens who are working for Cornell Cooperative Extension's Onondaga Earth Corps. We were lucky to see some fish, maybe carp or suckers, trying to swim upstream in the current that runs under the bridge at Kelly Brothers Memorial Park. Watch the video below!
We also saw a beaver at the headwaters of the creek at Tracy Lake in Tully, sycamore trees, and found a dead deer that one of the corps members had spotted on his walk to school.
Sadly, people are still dumping along the creek. At Kirk Park, we found this collection of highly toxic electronics. Many of the teens in the corps have worked on clean-up along the creek. On the trip today, they took photos and wrote down their observations as research for a sculpture they'll be building out of found objects from the creek. Watch for the unveiling of their art work at Beauchamp Library on Earth Day, April 22.
