Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine: We begin with Mark Dunlea talking with NYPIRG's Anne Rabe about why leading climate groups in the state are demanding that the New York legislature pass rules this year to eliminate the use of fossil fuels in new buildings. Then, Elizabeth Press reports from a December “Deconstruction Summit” sponsored by TAP (Troy Architecture Practice) and the City of Troy. After that, our own Sina Basila Hickey talks with members of Alpha Phi Omega, known as APO, a service fraternity at RPI that helps with projects at the Sanctuary for Independent Media and other sites. Finally, retired National Weather Service meteorologist Hugh Johnson returns to talk about climate change and local weather.

RPI students recently came down the hill to help the Sanctuary with much needed tasks on Sunday. The service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, known as APO, has been supporting the Sanctuary for many years, and Sina Basila Hickey was on site to ask these students about APO and why they participate. Thanks to all the APO members who have swept our floors, cleaned out closets, picked up trash, and done so many other overlooked tasks that allow us to focus on our programs and activities.

In this only just barely adjacent to homecoming edition of Dave by the Bell, Dave and University Communications intern Madi chat it up with almost always friendly passersby and pose the question, "If you could live anywhere on campus that was not a residence hall, where would you live?"        Transcript:   Dave Blanks: Madi, you're our intern.   Madi: I am.   Dave Blanks: And we're going to do a Dave by the Bell.   Madi: We are.   Dave Blanks: What are we talking about?   Madi: Well, did we decide what we're talking about?   Dave Blanks: Yeah, yeah. I think we finally landed on an idea.   Madi: Did we land on the roommate idea?   Dave Blanks: No, we're not doing the roommate idea.   Madi: Oh.   Dave Blanks: But we will do that one in the future.   Madi: Okay.   Dave Blanks: No, no, no. We're not going to do the roommate. We're going to do-   Madi: If you could live anywhere on campus.   Dave Blanks: Yes.   Madi: That's not your residence hall/dorm room...   Dave Blanks: Right.   Madi: ...where would you live and why?   Dave Blanks: Yeah, that was it. Good job. Perfect. So, yeah. Do you want to go to Sanford Mall?   Madi: I sure do.   Dave Blanks: Okay, let's do that. I usually just find a person and go, "Hey, excuse me." Like this guy.   Madi: Hey, you want to be in our podcast?   Anonymous Solarium Lover: No, that's okay.   Dave Blanks: Oh, come on man. Do you want to hear the question and then say yes or no.   Anonymous Solarium Lover: Okay.   Dave Blanks: All right. All right. So the question is, if you could live somewhere on campus, where would it be and why? So is there a little spot that's your spot? That's your go-to?   Anonymous Solarium Lover: Oh, God. The Solarium.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Okay.   Anonymous Solarium Lover: I love that.   Dave Blanks: Why would you live in the Solarium?   Anonymous Solarium Lover: It's very peaceful.   Dave Blanks: Right?   Anonymous Solarium Lover: I really like it.   Dave Blanks: Right.   Anonymous Solarium Lover: It's very calming.   Dave Blanks: It's like the opposite of this moment.   Anonymous Solarium Lover: Yes, exactly.   Quin Hernandez: I'm Quinn Hernandez. There's a little lookout up by Greenwood.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Quin Hernandez: I like looking over it, specifically in the wintertime, because the snow makes it really bright and you can ... The stadium lights up everything.   Dave Blanks: Okay. All right. You would live up there?   Quin Hernandez: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Because it's beautiful.   Quin Hernandez: Yeah, it's really pretty up there.   Madi: What a lovely answer.   Dave Blanks: I know. That was so good.   Madi: She was ready.   Andrea Martinez: I'm Andrea Martinez. Ooh. I would probably live at Walmart.   Dave Blanks: Wait, wait, wait. That's not on campus. Andrea.   Andrea Martinez: Technically it's not, but it is   Dave Blanks: It's on the Appalcart stop.   Andrea Martinez: Yes.   Dave Blanks: So in that respect, I mean, it is definitely a part of your student life, right?   Andrea Martinez: Yeah, definitely.   Dave Blanks: Okay. But with all the options, explain to me why you would live at Walmart.   Andrea Martinez: Well, I mean, it's just a place I frequent a lot.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Andrea Martinez: But it's also got everything.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Andrea Martinez: You've got a TV.   Dave Blanks: Yes.   Andrea Martinez: You've got blankets, you've got food. It's the perfect place.   Dave Blanks: I knew you were thinking like that. It's very practical of you. All right. Well, thank you for your answer and have a great day. Are you headed ... Where you headed?   Andrea Martinez: I'm heading to the bus stop, actually.   Dave Blanks: Are you going to Walmart?   Andrea Martinez: I am going to Walmart.   Dave Blanks: No way. Oh, my. That's funny.   Phillip Lavey: I'm Phillip Leavy. Chapel Wilson, second floor, I guess. That's where the theater department kids seem to hang out. That's most of my friends here at App State, so.   Dave Blanks: Right on.   Phillip Lavey: All the professors are super welcoming. All the students, it's like a big happy family there.   Dave Blanks: Nice, man.   Phillip Lavey: Yeah, so.   Dave Blanks: Well, good.   Phillip Lavey: Without a doubt. Plus the benches are pretty nice to sleep on. Pretty comfy. So, yeah.   Dave Blanks: From personal experience?   Phillip Lavey: Personal experience, yeah.   Dave Blanks: All right.   Meredith Kaiser: I'm Meredith Kaiser. Okay. I'm honestly going to go with living in the library.   Dave Blanks: Yeah.   Meredith Kaiser: Low key, because there's a coffee shop in there.   Dave Blanks: Right.   Meredith Kaiser: There's a lot of good study spaces.   Dave Blanks: Right.   Meredith Kaiser: There's books. There's a lot of just cool things in there. So, yeah.   Dave Blanks: What floor in particular? Any ideas?   Meredith Kaiser: Definitely not the second, because it's kind of loud.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Meredith Kaiser: Probably the third.   Dave Blanks: All right. Peaceful.   Meredith Kaiser: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Yeah.   Meredith Kaiser: Very peaceful. Yeah.   Billy: Oh, man. That's a tough one. Probably up there in that tower right up there.   Dave Blanks: What? You'd live in the Steam Tower?   Billy: Oh, is that a steam tower?   Dave Blanks: Yeah, dude. I don't know if you want to live in the-   Billy: What's at the very top though?   Dave Blanks: Steam. Just steam.   Billy: No, it's not. It looks like somebody out there right now, kind of.   Dave Blanks: Whoa. Are you for real?   Billy: It looks like a lookout post.   Dave Blanks: Oh, my gosh.   Billy: Is it not? Is it not?   Dave Blanks: No, it's a steam-   Billy: You can't get up there?   Dave Blanks: We call it the Steam Tower. Yeah, you can get up there.   Billy: Well, I don't know.   Dave Blanks: I mean, not you.   Billy: I kind of want to live up there. Maybe the room below it, but that'd be my upstairs deck.   Dave Blanks: That would be super cool. Do you think people would come visit you if you lived in-   Billy: No. People don't come visit me anyway.   Dave Blanks: But if you lived in the Steam Tower, they might be like, Come on, let's go to Billy's house, man.   Billy: You know what? You know what? Being right here, people would come visit. Because I'd be right here.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, I think they would. Great idea.   Billy: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Thanks for your answer, man.   Billy: That's it?   Dave Blanks: That was it. That was all.   Billy: Did I pass?   Dave Blanks: Yeah. You passed with flying colors. Yeah. Thanks, Billy. Madi, would you live in the Steam Tower?   Madi: Probably not.   Dave Blanks: I don't think so. I think I might come visit Billy, though.   Madi: I might visit Billy for sure.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, just to see if he was okay, because I'm not sure you can survive up there. But he was like, "There's somebody up there right now." And then I thought I could kind of see them. It was sort of weird.   Madi: No, I kind of did too.   Dave Blanks: Did you see them?   Madi: He tricked me.   Dave Blanks: He totally pulled one over on us.   Lily: I'm Lily. The Student Union.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Lily: The arboretum-type room.   Dave Blanks: Oh yeah, Solarium.   Lily: The Solarium.   Dave Blanks: The Solarium.   Lily: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Caitlin, what do you think about Lily's answer?   Kaitlyn: It's a good answer, but I would probably say the library, because it's open most of the time.   Dave Blanks: Right?   Kaitlyn: 24 five, and they have some comfy chairs up there.   Dave Blanks: Wait, did you say 24 what?   Kaitlyn: 24 five.   Dave Blanks: 24 five? I've never heard that.   Kaitlyn: 24 five. It's open 24 hours, five days of the week.   Dave Blanks: Five days of the week.   Kaitlyn: Right.   Dave Blanks: Wow. You're very accurate with that. I was like, wait, did she mess that up? But no. You said it very specifically. All right. So what floor would you live on?   Kaitlyn: I think the second, but I haven't explored the third or fourth before.   Dave Blanks: All right. Well, the second floor, from what I've heard, is a little louder.   Kaitlyn: That's true. I could always go up to the quiet floor if I need some quiet.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Yeah.   Kaitlyn: I do think the chairs are very comfy on the second floor, and you could definitely sleep on one of those.   Dave Blanks: Excellent. All right, so now we're in the Student Union. Do you actually want to interrupt somebody who's doing something in the Student Union? Hey, excuse me.   Eva Morgan: Hi.   Dave Blanks: Hi, I'm Dave. I have a podcast called Dave by the Bell, where I interview App State students.   Eva Morgan: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Are you an App State student?   Eva Morgan: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Could you hear out my question and maybe answer it?   Eva Morgan: Mm-hmm!   Dave Blanks: All right, cool. I like your energy. Very positive.   Eva Morgan: Thanks, man!   Dave Blanks: This is Madi.   Eva Morgan: Hello.   Dave Blanks: She's our intern.   Madi: Hi.   Dave Blanks: So the question for today pertains to the fact that it's homecoming this weekend.   Eva Morgan: Yeah?!!!   Dave Blanks: Are you excited?   Eva Morgan: No, I'm not even going.   Dave Blanks: Okay, fair enough. Home is the word that we honed in on. If you could make your home somewhere here at App that wasn't a residence hall?   Eva Morgan: I'd live in the gym.   Dave Blanks: Where would you ... You'd live at the gym?   Eva Morgan: I'd live at the SRC.   Dave Blanks: All right. Why would you live there?   Eva Morgan: I work out every day.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Eva Morgan: So I'm kind of obsessed.   Dave Blanks: What do you like about the SRC?   Eva Morgan: That's a solid question.   Dave Blanks: Yeah.   Eva Morgan: That I do not know the answer to.   Dave Blanks: They have equipment that you can use there?   Eva Morgan: Yeah. I mean, they have machines and free weights, so.   Dave Blanks: Perfect. SRC?   Eva Morgan: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Good answer.   Eva Morgan: Thank you.   Dave Blanks: Hey, can you tell me your name?   Eva Morgan: Oh, Eva Morgan.   Dave Blanks: Thanks, Eva.   Eva Morgan: Of course. You have a good one.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, you too. Are you going to workout?   Eva Morgan: Nice to meet you too. Oh, I already did my round today.   Dave Blanks: Already did it.   Eva Morgan: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Nice. Nice work. Nice work. Have a good one. Madi, you're on the cross country team, right?   Madi: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Do you work out every day?   Madi: Unfortunately, I don't have a choice if I work out every day.   Dave Blanks: You're forced to work out every day?   Madi: I'm not forced every day.   Dave Blanks: What way do you want to go?   Madi: It's a forced decision. Bookstore?   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Okay. We could do the bookstore. A forced decision.   Madi: Oh, maybe these fellows.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Do you think they work here?   Madi: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: So we actually here at App State, do you have a Apple Store? What do you call it? An Apple Store. They're an authorized campus store.   John Paul Hansen: That's the magic of it.   Dave Blanks: There we go. You don't live on campus currently, correct, sir?   John Paul Hansen: No, sir. I do not.   Dave Blanks: All right. Did you ever live on campus?   John Paul Hansen: I did.   Dave Blanks: All right. Where were you? What residence hall?   John Paul Hansen: Bowie Residence Hall.   Dave Blanks: You were in Bowie.   John Paul Hansen: Yes. Getting knocked down currently, right?   Dave Blanks: You're right. I'm sorry. Are you dealing with that okay or?   John Paul Hansen: Yeah, a little bit sad. I'd like to go over and get a brick. I don't know what the legalities of brick taking from a active construction zone are, so.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, I think first degree brickery.   John Paul Hansen: Yeah, first degree brickery.   Dave Blanks: It could ruin your job here.   John Paul Hansen: True. True.   Dave Blanks: So what is your name, sir.   John Paul Hansen: John Paul Hansen.   Dave Blanks: Okay. So John Paul Hansen, it's homecoming weekend. Did you know that?   John Paul Hansen: I did, yes.   Dave Blanks: All right, all right. So if you could live and make your home anywhere on Appalachian State's campus, that wasn't Bowie. Okay? And that wasn't a residence hall.   John Paul Hansen: Yes.   Dave Blanks: Where would it be and why would you live there?   John Paul Hansen: Inside of the Founder's Bell. It's nice and cozy. You can really get inside of it. Once the metal kind of heats up to your body temp, it's cohesive. You're in there. You can't get much colder or warmer. It's a perfect environment.   Dave Blanks: Right. You would have a lot of interaction because apparently if people rub it or something like that, they do good on their examinations.   John Paul Hansen: Yes. yeah. And then I kind of crawl out like a hermit crab and just really, you are at my home. Really give it to them. So, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.   Dave Blanks: John Paul, you're a silly fellow. You know that? Did you know the podcast is called Dave by the Bell?   John Paul Hansen: Yes.   Dave Blanks: Yeah.   John Paul Hansen:  And so I know this because probably four years ago, I was walking to one of my freshman year classes, and I was stopped by you, Mr. Dave.   Dave Blanks: No way.   Madi: Wow.   John Paul Hansen: Yes. I had a previous appearance.   Dave Blanks: You're one of our first multiple episode people.   John Paul Hansen: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, yeah.   John Paul Hansen: This was fun. It's coming full circle.   Dave Blanks: Yeah, I know. Well, come visit John Paul, who's in the ... What's the name of your store?   John Paul Hansen: Oh, University Bookstore Tech Center, rebranded from the Computer Shop.   Dave Blanks: All right. Okay.   John Paul Hansen: Yep.   Dave Blanks: All right.   John Paul Hansen: Yep.   Madi: What if I go rub the Founder's Bell before finals, and then he just like jumps out-   Dave Blanks: And he's like. I never rubbed the Founder's Bell, but when I think about my GPA, maybe I should have. I also never exercised while I was at Appalachian State.   Madi: Hey, this person's watching right now.   Dave Blanks: That guy. Excuse me, Mr. Flannel. Hey. Hey. I have a podcast called Dave by the Bell, where I interview App State students. Would you mind if I ask you a question? I don't think your name is really Mr. Flannel either.   Ben Perkins: Oh, you don't? Well, that's good.   Dave Blanks: No, I'm not aware of your name, but I would assume it's not Mr. Flannel.   Ben Perkins: Well, if you knew, it'd be weird, because I don't think we've ever met.   Dave Blanks: That would be crazy, right?   Ben Perkins: My name is Ben Perkins.   Dave Blanks: All right.   Ben Perkins: I'd probably live in the Union. Location-wise, I think it's the best.   Dave Blanks: Fair enough.   Ben Perkins: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: So what part of the Student Union would you live in?   Ben Perkins: Well rest in peace to the Whitewater Lounge, but that's where I'd live.   Madi: That's what I said.   Ben Perkins: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: So I asked Madi this, and she said ... Now why did you like the Whitewater? Let's ask you first, Ben.   Ben Perkins: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: And then, Madi, we'll get your take on why the Whitewater was awesome.   Ben Perkins: Well, I think originally it was had this classy lounge kind of vibe.   Dave Blanks: Okay.   Ben Perkins: And I don't know. It was really secluded, so not a lot of people went there. So I thought that was really cool about it.   Dave Blanks: Yeah. Yeah. Well, good choice. Ben, thank you. Madi, tell us why you liked the Whitewater.   Madi: I just have good memories of escaping to there. Well, I remember my freshman year, I was really bored, and I was like, I'm going to just go explore the Student Union. And I felt like I went in there, and it was like a secret hideout almost. And it was just nice and dark, and they would sometimes play music in there. If only it still existed, that's where I'd choose.   Dave Blanks: Listen, I think I want to encourage y'all to go back to where it was, because now it's the Career Development Center. Okay?   Ben Perkins: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: So take charge of your future.   Ben Perkins: Oh, yeah.   Dave Blanks: Okay? All right, please.   Ben Perkins: I will.   Madi: Oh, yeah.   Dave Blanks: Ben. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Ben, thanks for your answer.   Ben Perkins: Absolutely.   Madi: Okay, we're at the Alpha Phi Omega table, and we have four students here. Why don't you all introduce yourselves in a row?   Jenn: Hi, I'm Jenn.   Chris: I'm Chris.   Gigi: I'm Gigi.   Skyler: And I'm Skyler. I would live in the Solarium. It's just the ambience and all the plants and stuff. I feel like it's so lively and fun in there.   Madi: Awesome. Thank you. Moving on to Chris.   Chris: Yep. That's my same answer. I would live in the Solarium. Honestly, it's one of the most peaceful places on campus.   Madi: For sure. What about you?   Gigi: Same. Same here.   Madi: Same?   Dave Blanks: Gigi's there.   Madi: Skyler?   Skyler: I've got to say the garden near the LLC.   Madi: Okay.   Skyler: I love doing garden work there. It's so much fun. I think I'd make a little home in the little greenhouse with the solar panels on top. I think that would be really cutesy. Yeah.   Madi: Yeah. That's a great answer. Very unique. Thank you, guys.   Dave Blanks: Thank y'all so much.   Skyler: Thank you.   Ashlyn Benzel: My name is Ashlyn Benzel. Sanford Mall! Right here! I would set up a tent and just stay here. There is, I mean grass. There's trees to climb. My friends. The dining hall's right over there. I mean, you can't-   Dave Blanks: Nothing wrong with that.   Madi: Can't go wrong.   Ashlyn Benzel: Can't go wrong.   Madi: Great answer. Thank you so much.   Ashlyn Benzel: You're so welcome.   Dave Blanks: Maddie, we're done. What did we learn today?   Madi: Today we learned that Walmart is on campus.   Dave Blanks: We also learned that if you're going to live in the Solarium, you better like other people, because everybody else is living in the Solarium too, right?   Madi: Yeah.   Dave Blanks: Thanks for taking the time. Thanks for coming along with me. You did a great job. Was it fun?   Madi: It was a great time.   Dave Blanks: Let's edit this podcast.   Madi: Sounds good.   Dave Blanks: I'm Dave Blanks, and this has been Dave by the Bell. Bye, Madi.   Madi: Bye.  

Yasmin on mental health stigmas: “As black students and as black women, we're taught that we need to be better than our white counterparts. We need to be resilient and strong. We need to be everything they are as far as grades, AND some. We can never show any signs of weakness. And I think that's where that stigma comes along with mental health, and I think the first step is a willingness to speak openly about our struggles.”Yasmin Bellew is the president of Alpha Phi Omega, Cornell's largest service fraternity, but she's also a member of pre-law organizations KAPi and Black Ivy. Listen to her conversation with Daniel James II about growing up in California's Central Valley, the impact of her black women mentors, the inaccessibility of therapy for people of color, the difference between structural reform and victim advocacy in the criminal justice and incarceration systems, and so much more.Catch Black Voices on the Hill each Friday @2pm on WVBR 93.5 FM. wvbr.com/blackvoicesInstagram: @blackvoicesonthehill BVH is now on TWITTER! @BVHCornellMusic provided by OZSOUND.

I was born in Wynne, AR but was raised in Memphis TN. I am the oldest of 3, I have a younger sister (deceased) and a younger brother. I also lost my mother. I attended Central High School (The High School) and Tennessee State University. I have a bachelors degree in Biology/Chemistry. I ran track for the Tennessee Tigerbelles. I am a member of Alpha Phi Omega ( the largest service organization in the World). The main people to influence me where not only my family members other people in my community. I come from a family with a lot military background so somehow I was probably bound to become an officer but I never wanted to join the military, hence the reason I went to college. I was always drawn to the criminal justice system even as a kid.  I did not initially have being a police officer as my first option. Initially I wanted to be a lawyer but after having a chance to do mock trials and other activities in grade school I was turned away. I then turned my focus on the scientific aspect of the criminal just system and wanted to be involved in forensic science DNA analysis, hence my degree. After graduating I found it hard to get into the field as qualifications change and I did not know anyone in the field. After sometimes I was given an idea to become a police officer from a police officer in Memphis TN. I then applied and the rest is history. It was a bumpy road to get where I am today but honestly I would not change anything.I decided to apply with SAPD because at the time looking at other department it stuck out as the best. I knew I wanted to be in Texas. The application process was an ease and the turnaround was fairly quick. As I was applying for the department I can say there was outside forces that would attempt to hinder my process. While I was in San Antonio for a week someone (many people) broke into my apartment and just about stole everything. I was devastated but it actually made me want to leave and get this career even more. After being accepted I packed my two bags and took the greyhound bus to San Antonio. Little did I know how big San Antonio was compared to Memphis. I did not have a car at the time so I decided maybe its time for me to learn to catch the bus. Let’s just say 1604 is Long! Somehow the word got out that I did not have a stable mode of transportation to and from the academy. I was in class one day and was beckoned out of class, immediately I was terrified trying to remember if I messed up and did something that would merit punishment. However there was a police couple standing outside the door. I was asked questions, I cant remember from being so nervous. The I was handed a key. I immediately denied the key as I knew it wasn’t mine. They then insisted that I take the key and go outside to make sure a vehicle was operable and if so I could use it to get to and from the academy…. It works….. I cried!..... A LOT! From that day people of this department have shown me what being a “brother or sister in blue” really meant. Through I can not name individually every person or officer who has done more than what their duty calls, I am consistently being influence by wonderful, giving, loving people.For more interviews visit: www.iamrefocusedradio.comRadio Sponsor: DOCUmation is a family-owned technology solutions company that provides IT, print, and software-managed services to business and other organizations throughout Texas.

In addition she quickly reminded us the importance of always remaining a student. This gives us the opportunity to constantly grow and learn new things. One standout quote from Ms. Little is, “ You must be reaching back and pulling forward.

Sometimes careers start years before anyone even knows it. In his junior year of high school, Dan was elected treasurer of the student council, making him manager of the school store that provided funds for the student council activities. Prior to starting his role, he inherited a $600 deficit from the prior year, and was thrust into restoring stability to store operations plus repayment of the deficit. This one year taught him about inventory ordering and control, vendor management, accounting, budgeting, and developed people skills as the store was dependent upon volunteers. At the end of his junior year, the deficit was repaid, and the store sported a $1500 surplus which was not bad for 1970-1971.
