When you walk into Oswego’s On- tario Orchards, there is a good possibil- ity you’ll find co-owner Kathy Ouellette stocking the shelves and produce. “It’s never boring,” Ouellette said.

There is something for everyone, whether it’s a bottle of local apple cider to quench your thirst, or a colorful sea- sonal wreath to hang on your front door. “They carry a lot of local specialty items that you can’t find at a grocery store chain,” Oswego State student Drew Pascuzzi said. Pascuzzi and his family have been fre- quent customers to Ontario Orchards for many years. Pascuzzi is not alone, as oth- er customers note the “country market atmosphere” and the “fresh produce.” It’s hard to believe that over 46 years ago Ontario Orchards began in a barn where the shop stands today by two 18-year-olds.

a little skeptical to whether I would enjoy the idea of a ‘game’ style course. As the weeks progressed, I was astonished to see the preconceived notions that I had about the Muslim faith and how bias [sic] they were. I can honestly say this short class was one of the most informative classes I have taken while at Oswego. Not only did it challenge me to think critically about the subject, but it forced me to look at other points of view and really open my mind to the way that this religion is viewed. If I was not graduating this semester I would undoubtedly sign up for the next one.” It is amazing to see that students have learned and gained a new perspective on Islamophobia through the ARG class.
