Championnats d'Europe - séries

Et voilà l’entrée en compétition est faite. Sur le bassin de Montemor, dans des conditions estivales et un léger vent favorable, nous avons pu profiter d’un plan d’eau idéal, notamment grâce aux bassins d’échauffement et de récupération séparés du champs de course. Du coup il n’y a aucune vague des bateaux qui remontent comme sur [...]

Wet dream comes true as Harbor School leaves landlocked Bushwick

See this story at BrooklynPaper.com.

By Aaron Short

The Brooklyn Paper

The promise of a new school year beckoned on Wednesday and students at the New York Harbor School will either sink or swim — and it’s part of the curriculum.

As most high school students drearily trudged back to landlocked brick buildings for first period algebra, 400 high school students took a ferry to school on their own island where they learned how to grow oysters and SCUBA dive.

The Harbor School at Governors Island was open for business.

“This is one of the great opportunities of my life,” said Harbor Principal Nathan Dudley. “I feel humbled, grateful and proud. I’m grateful to the mayor and the city for building this school on the island.”

For seven years, the small public school shared a building with three other schools on Irving Street in Bushwick — far from bodies of water larger than a puddle inside a discarded tire. And field trips to sites on the harbor sometimes lasted several hours, wasting the time of students and teachers.

So school officials hatched a plan to move to a campus.

After years of fundraising and negotiations with the city, school officials’ seaside dreams came true. On Wednesday morning, scores of eager students boarded a ferry and arrived to a state-of-the-art school building with piers, oyster beds, and a boat basin.

The school’s maritime curriculum, which featured classes such as aquaculture, technology, and sailing, will also be expanded to take advantage of the resources available to them on Governors Island and nearby ports.

The students couldn’t wait to plunge into diving and maritime tech electives.

Hanaa Butcher, a junior from Coney Island, enrolled in aquaculture, and was excited that she would finally get her own fish to raise — a tilapia specimen she already named “Ziggy.” She hopes that her new friend won’t find its way onto the school cafeteria’s menu, as several fish did at the end of the school year in June.

Many schools say that their students are the future, but at the Harbor School, these kids really are playing an important leadership role. One of the major elements of the curriculum calls for all students to plant beds oysters under a floating dock — a crucial act towards eventually cleaning up the city’s harbor.

Once home to nine billion oysters, decades of dredging, pollution and overfishing decimated the region’s shellfish population. The oyster is a natural water filter and a baseline component of the river’s health — and Harbor School students are on the front lines of restoring the ecosystem’s hearty bivalve vacuum cleaners.

“I would love to see students plant several million oysters over the next 10 years,” said Fabien Cousteau, a Harbor School board member and grandson of iconic oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. “If we can get oysters to start propagating themselves, the Hudson will be in better shape.”

On the first day of school, Dudley exhorted new students to begin thinking about attending college and their futures, no matter where they came from.

“To me you are a blank slate,” said Dudley. “You get to write your own history. If you got suspended in junior high school every other week, I don’t care. It’s what you do right now.”

For upperclassmen, such as junior Ashley Rodriguez of East Flatbush, the future can wait a few years.

“I wish they had a New York Harbor School college,” said Rodriguez. “That would be cool. They should have one in Governors Island.”

Saved by the sun

It was a glorious Monday afternoon, with so few clouds in the sky that you could count them on one hand, when Jon and Kim Giovinco hopped in their car in Nazareth, Pa., and made the two-hour drive to Avon. Gasoline and tolls aside, it was an inexpensive getaway -- a priority given that the sluggish economy that has made consumers pinch pennies. "We have Jersey Mike's subs in the cooler," Kim Giovinco said. Lured by sunshine, visitors this summer crowded boardwalks and filled hotel rooms, brushing off concerns that the economy would force them to stay home. It validated the efforts of merchants to lower prices to attract bargain-hunters and capitalize on the attention brought on by reality television shows filmed at the Shore. And it helped them turn in a good, if not blockbuster, year. "The weather is pretty much everything for our business, and luckily we've had a banner year," said Aldo Ferraro, owner of Ferraro's Famous Tomato Pie, a Bradley Beach restaurant. "And that just increases the volume of people. We've had a good, good season." Labor Day weekend brings summer to an unofficial end, and merchants can count their receipts. There is a lot at stake. Even in the recession year of 2008, the most recent figures available, visitors spent $4.9 billion in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to the state. This season brought with it uncertainty. More than two years after the recession began, the nation's jobless rate was nearly 10 percent, and consumers, with fewer jobs, less credit and a grim outlook, scaled back their once free-spending ways. You never could have guessed, judging by some of the crowds, said Robert Hilton, executive director of the Jersey Shore Convention & Visitors Bureau, which promotes the region. Hilton said the lodging industry saw sales increase more than 25 percent. Restaurants saw sales increase by a slightly smaller amount. And Asbury Park drew so many visitors, Hilton compared it to its heyday in the 1950s. In hindsight, the Shore might have been perfectly positioned to capitalize on visitors who wanted a vacation, but weren't confident enough in the economy to splurge. "People were being very conservative," said Joel Naroff, an economist based in Holland, Pa. "They weren't taking as extended a vacation, they weren't taking it as far away. They were looking for low-cost, but desirable vacations." That seemed to fit the profile of Russ and Donna Fromkin of Washington Township, Morris County. They visited Avon last week with their two children, extending what was to be a two-day vacation by an extra day because of the weather. The economic news was in the back of their minds. "I'd say we're a little more careful," Russ Fromkin said. "We're a little more thoughtful about what we do spend, and we do a little more bargain hunting." Merchants weren't caught unprepared. Ferraro thought he benefited from a menu that features few items for more than $15. And he wasn't alone. Scott T. Hemmes, owner of Route 72 Waverunner, a Stafford company that rents Jet Ski-style personal watercraft and kayaks, said he offered coupons for $5 off and pledged to match prices of competitors. It paid off. "I went from an extremely bad year to a pretty good year," Hemmes said. "People in my eyes weren't as scared to spend money as they were in the past." Meantime, the Shore tried its best to bask in newfound attention. Vendors in Seaside Heights, where MTV's "Jersey Shore" got its start, hawked everything from T-shirts with references to the show to food named after its stars, no matter how loutish the cast's behavior seemed. Others hopped on the reality show bandwagon, too. Bravo's "9 By Design" about a husband-and-wife design team, the Novogratzes, and their seven children featured one of their projects -- the Bungalow Hotel in Long Branch. It's difficult to assess how much the publicity was worth, but the boutique hotel, with its classic foosball game and pool table in the lobby, was more than 90 percent full this summer. Visitors snapped up rooms that were priced from $249 for weekday nights to $979 for a two-bedroom suite on weekends, said Fabien Chaigneau, general manager. But there might be another reason for the hotel's success. "It rained all of June last year," Chaigneau said. "This year, how many bad weekends did we have? We had one." The star of this show turned out to be Mother Nature. This summer was the hottest on record. It was so warm that Seaside Heights topped 90 degrees 20 times, up from just twice last year. And the state's average rainfall of 8.34 inches made it the driest summer since 1966, state climatologist David Robinson said. Last Monday, the temperature neared 90 degrees again, there wasn't a hint of rain, and Rob and Kelly Lisiewski traveled with their 2-year-old son, Bobby, from Staten Island to Avon. "We're not going to come if it's raining. It's a nice day today," Rob Lisiewski said. "If it's too hot, we probably wouldn't come down either."
