Traip Graduate to Participate in Super Bowl Media Coverage SANTA CLARA, CA Robert W. Traip Academy graduate Colin Martin, currently a senior at Ithaca College in upstate New York, is part of a team of students working at Super Bowl LX, being held this year at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. A sports media major in the college’s Roy H. Park School of Communications, Martin was one of six students selected for the prestigious opportunity. The Park School students are part of what’s known as Radio Row – a bustling area in the nearby Moscone Convention Center that serves as a media hub

where journalists, athletes, celebrities, and fans converge. There, the students will work as members of the press, conducting interviews and producing content for video, radio, and social media coverage.
Representing the college’s student-run broadcast stations WICB Radio and ICTV, as well as the Ithaca College Athletics Creative Media team, the students’ work will be featured on those
platforms and on the college’s social media channels throughout the week. “We’re not just representing ourselves – we’re representing every student who works unbelievably hard across Park, whether that’s at ICTV or WICB,” said Martin. “This is the accumulation of everyone in this building doing their best work, and we get to represent the Park School on the biggest stage in sports.” The Super Bowl experience gives Martin opportunities to engage with industry professionals and build long-term connections. He will work alongside
experienced journalists and media producers, gaining hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high-profile environment. The experience also allows him to showcase his skills on a national stage, demonstrating the dedication and talent he has developed since his days at Traip Academy. Martin’s trip was made possible through Special Opportunities for Students funding, which supports Park School students in traveling to participate in a variety of hands-on, experiential learning activities.

WELLS Dredging operations are under way in Wells Harbor through Friday, Feb. 27, as part of efforts to improve navigational conditions and restore dunes along Atlantic Avenue.

Michels Corp. will operate the dredge and reconstruct the dunes along Atlantic Avenue. Equipment operations will take place primarily at the Eastern Shore parking lot, at the north end of the avenue.

areas of the parking lot will be inaccessible for the duration of the project. The dunes will be rebuilt to conditions that existed before the January 2024 storms and planted with dune grass to help protect oceanfront infrastruc-
ture from future storm damage. The work will take place seven days a week from about 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and boaters should expect activity in the channel during that time. The Town of Wells urges mariners to use caution when
traveling through the area. Vessels will be allowed to pass through the work zone, but the dredge crew requires one-hour notice to shut down operations and move equipment to allow for safe passage. Mariners should proceed at their slowest safe speed to minimize wake and navigate with caution after arrangements have been made. Vessels may contact the dredge crew on VHF marine radio channels 13, 16 or 71. For more information, contact the Wells Harbor Master at 207-646-3236. Article courtesy the Wells Connector.
