Looking for a Baseline Water Chemistry Volunteer

We need a few additional volunteers for our Riverwatch Program! Our Riverwatch volunteers are the eyes and ears on the water in the Niagara River Watershed, helping to collect water quality data.

Volunteers are needed to sample the following locations:
  • Tonawanda Creek and Cayuga Creek Headwaters (Batavia).This team samplesevery third Saturday of the month, May – October, during the day.
  • Gill Creek and other Niagara County waterways.This team samplesevery third Friday of the month, May – October, during the day.
Baseline Water Chemistry Volunteers utilize high-tech water quality equipment to collect data throughout the Niagara River Watershed on a monthly basis. Volunteers are assigned to teams and specific sampling sites to collect data. Sampling occurs on specific dates and times, from May through October, with sampling taking approximately 4 hours.
Volunteers must provide their own transportation (or carpool with other volunteers) to sampling sites and be comfortable with field work. Reliability and communication are extremely important. Must attend one in-person training in April. If you’re interested in volunteering for this unique and exciting opportunity, please reach out to Robert Coady (rcoady@bnwaterkeeper.org, 716-852-7483 ext. 19) for more information!

Trump mocked as ‘historic’ Gaza peace plan missing ‘vital’ piece



President Donald Trump stood with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and announced a new ceasefire proposal and peace plan, but critics couldn't help but notice it's missing some critical pieces — namely, that a key party is missing.

Steve Herman, executive director at the Jordan Center for Journalism Advocacy and Innovation, quoted Trump's comment, "Everyone else has accepted it."

"Except Hamas, according to President Trump, explaining his plan calls for a 'Board of Peace' to be headed by himself," said Herman.

It prompted national security lawyer Bradly P. Moss to remark, "So, you know, a peace plan missing a vital party."

"The new official Trump plan for Gaza. Quite a few things to parse out, including accountability mechanisms, who actually makes up the stabilisation force, and what mandate they would have," said Dr. H.A. Hellyer, a geopolitics and security expert on the Middle East and Europe at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies.

Even senior Washington Examiner writer David Harsanyi had questions: "This plan has been tried more than once. Palestinians have never been able to meet #1."

Bloomberg's Washington Correspondent Josh Wingrove couldn't help but notice that the plan, "previously described as a '21-point plan,'" now "includes 20 points and an image of proposed withdrawals."

"The points include a call for Gaza's governance to be supervised by a 'Board of Peace' - chaired by Trump himself," added Wingrove.

White House columnist Niall Stanage, at "The Hill," also questioned, "It runs to 20 points but how will point 1 — upon which all else may hinge — be defined or verified and by whom?"

"If Trump is to be the head of the newly established transitional administration in Gaza, it means Gaza is becoming a mandate of the USA. Blair is the Mandate Governor," observed Tuğçe Varol, an academic working on Russian and Turkish foreign policy.
