The core of the conversation surrounding AI has alwasy included apprehension "They might not be as forthcoming in the discussion as they might be if it wasn't recorded," said director of cyber security and data science at Ferris State University that might be one of the most significant pitfalls." Greg Gogolin is the director of Cyber Security and Data Science at Ferris State University and he says it may have catching up to do on medical terms "That technology has been advancing so quickly and if you train on a lot of medical information a lot of that kind of takes care of itself," says Dr all they may notice is a phone or listening device recording “What they're probably going to notice is that my physician was having a lot more of a conversation and just focused on me and wasn't looking at the computer.’ "When providers can have a bit more time and space and not that burden of typing constantly while the patient's talking then and again it frees them up to do what they love to do."

Mike Gogolin is starting a new chapter in his career was an athletic trainer assigned to the high school as part of its contract with Essentia Health he is the athletic training supervisor for Essentia Health working with athletic trainers and schools the health care system has partnered with he said he took on supervisory duties a few years ago and realized this past semester that he was spreading himself too thin In addition to working at the high school and taking care of managerial duties Gogolin was also working at Essentia Health’s orthopedic clinic you’re probably going to have to off-load some of those things in order to do what you’re doing,’ and I’m like ‘Nah “It became very apparent probably the last half of this past school year it was going to be coming sooner than I wanted as far as being done at the high school,” he said Brandee Dittbrender and Tanner Sterling will step in to fill Gogolin's shoes Dittbrender started working with Gogolin at SHS over the winter a 2017 Superior graduate who recently earned a degree from the College of St Gogolin said he got into athletic training because he wanted to stay connected to sports after high school and he enjoyed the science and health care components of the field One of the biggest challenges of working as an athletic trainer are the hours It’s really kind of dependent on when the sports are around,” he said who works at Denfeld High School in Duluth Not being home at bedtime with the kids was kind of tough students and their families was Gogolin’s favorite part of the job “Really what made my job enjoyable was the people I’m there to be around sports and treat injuries and that kind of thing but it's the relationships that I’ve built that I’m going to hold the most dear,” he said said from the first time she met Gogolin she could see he was a team player as well as someone whose openness and communication cultivated trust with coaches and students “You can see the relationships he’s built with coaches over the years and I think that’s a huge thing,” Olson said trust his training and explain his thought process to coaches and athletes “My job is not to hold kids out of activity and be a mean guy I would love it if everybody could just play,” he said “But my job is to be there and be kind of the guardian and do what’s in the best interest of their health care.” Gogolin helped implement the high school’s concussion protocol Every student-athlete takes an online test before their season starts to set a baseline If they suffer an injury where they have a concussion or are suspected of having a concussion the athletic training staff administers another test to see how it matches up with the student’s earlier test That work has helped make sports safer at SHS “A brain injury is just like other injuries — it has to be diagnosed and treated and you need to be accurate,” DeMeyer said DeMeyer and Gogolin bonded over their love of music Gogolin’s sense of humor helped lift DeMeyer’s spirits on the sidelines whether it’s walking up behind me on the sidelines and patting me on the back and telling me to relax or cracking a joke and smiling at me,” DeMeyer said and he’s just fun to be around and we are certainly going to miss him.” While he won’t be a fixture on the sidelines going forward Gogolin said he’ll still be around the high school on occasion but in his new role I know we’re still going to see him and he’s still going to have a huge role in what we do.” Gogolin Earns First Weekly Honor2/25/2019 2:27:00 PM | Women's Basketball Gogolin’s first career weekly accolade

from No © and Tanya Gogolin’s daughter had a sore throat she was congested and vomiting with headaches and body aches She "felt better" Wednesday when three of her sisters (and one of their boyfriends) became symptomatic From their home in Medina County where three of her daughters attend Cloverleaf High School Gogolin said she drove this weekend from Hudson to Ashland in search of reliable COVID-19 testing She settled for rapid test kits from a pharmacy Gogolin wasn't surprised so much as upset by the positive test result for her 15-year-old daughter (Another daughter and her boyfriend have tested negative; two other daughters are to be tested Thursday.) The 15-year-old wore a mask in a district where the school board is not requiring them and more than 80% of students are not wearing them residents leaned hard on the school board to keep the masks optional in classrooms (All schools require them on buses per a federal health mandate.) Schools across the state and region are dealing with the same public backlash while attempting to balance parental choice and the health and safety of staff Gogolin sends disinfecting wipes with her daughters to a school building where Of the 600 students who chose online learning at Cloverleaf last year forcing desks to be pushed closer together The district is also not renting any of the 10 modular classrooms it used last year to space out the middle school Gogolin emailed the superintendent "just pleading with him that this is a pandemic with an airborne virus," she told the Beacon Journal We know certain age groups [younger than her daughters] are not vaccinated And this is coming from a parent who has vaccinated children." "I am doing everything in my power to help end this pandemic," she wrote “A parent’s obviously upset that her child has COVID,” Superintendent Daryl Kubilus Jr This was our first case since school started [last Wednesday] With many districts not starting until next week and others only in session for days the Summit County Health Department puts the current number of quarantined students at 70 and 27 students or athletes in isolation after testing positive The Medina County Health Department did not respond to a request for stats there Cloverleaf had 69 cases and 405 staff or students quarantined last year Gogolin’s daughter would not have been required to quarantine if exposed She wouldn’t even have been considered for quarantine because she wore a mask she’s now isolated at home because someone passed her the virus "It's tough operating a school district during a pandemic," Kubilus said reiterating what superintendents are saying elsewhere "We're making the best decisions that we can." a majority of children unvaccinated and most not wearing masks children are contracting COVID-19 in schools across the state and region About 1% of COVID-19 patients younger than 20 end up in the hospital compared to a quarter of those over 60 according to Summit County Public Health data But even the asymptomatic can give the deadly respiratory disease to others learning is poised to suffer again this year Districts in session for less than a week are quarantining a dozen or more students for coming too close to a single sick classmate as well as dozens of peer-reviewed studies emphasize that masks and vaccinations prevent disease spread They also keep students’ names off potential quarantine lists sent to county health departments when the classmate beside them tests positive masks are more often used by the youngest students though few districts are seeing most elementary kids use them And according to top health officials like National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins the vaccines protecting older kids may not be approved for children under 12 until midway through the school year State and local health officials last year mandated masks and social distancing in all schools But after the state legislature this year curtailed the pandemic powers of the governor the Ohio Department of Health and county health commissioners social distancing and other policies now falls to local school boards this is how it’s going to be," said Summit County Health Department spokesperson Marlene Martin urban and more affluent suburban districts are one by one requiring the masks: first Akron only two of the more than 6,000 students who attended Akron’s 60 summer programs contracted COVID-19 the district of about 25,000 students and staff has had 505 cases of COVID for a cumulative infection rate of about 2% which did not go all-online as Akron did for most of the school year Residents that reject masks argue that it harms the social well-being of a child Foulk said more robust cleaning and sanitizing universal masking and at least 3 feet of social distancing — which combined virtually eliminate the need for quarantining according to the Ohio Department of Health — were critical this year to ensure children stay in school to “get those social/emotional supports that I’m sure were dearly missed.” With one-sixtieth of the students opting for online instruction this school year Green has contracted a third-party provider instead of pulling its own teachers to deliver virtual instruction students will simply miss class while being required to make up the work “Quarantined students will be treated like absent students have in past years,” Nordonia Hills Superintendent Joe Clark said “Teachers will provide them with the assignments they miss and they will be able to turn those in for full credit administrators at Green Local Schools consult the county health department city officials and parents who work in the medical field The district is one bad COVID-19 report away from revising its optional masking policy "Any one factor could be a trigger to alter the current mask situation," said Julie McMahan community outreach and student wellness for Green schools As adult vaccination rates increased from March through June the share of all new COVID-19 cases attributed to patients under 18 has nearly doubled from 8.9% to 17.6% in Ohio average daily cases for the under 20 population was seven on Aug according to tracking by the county health department McMahan said principals in Green observed a low of 10% masking in the preschool and kindergarten and a high of 30% masking in the high school though more and more students are masking each day 20% masking in the elementary school (where children are too young to be vaccinated) is higher than what Kubilus said he's seeing in the middle or high school Superintendent Walter Davis shook his head when told that 60% of elementary kids are masked He said about 30% of middle school students and as few as 15% of high school students are wearing masks And I don't sense that they're about to change that even though we're seeing some districts around us make that change." Green is also strongly encouraging but not requiring masks But that's a "tough sell" for families with children who are under 12 and not yet eligible for vaccination A better sell is helping families with healthy children and no other reason to not vaccinate them realize that they may be gambling with the possible inconvenience of child care if their kids are forced to quarantine anti-vaxxers at the board meetings being very loud about it," said McMahan But understand if your child is unmasked and unvaccinated and they come in contact with a COVID-positive [person] Single case sends 16 into quarantineIn less than a week since class started Woodridge has four students with COVID-19 who are not yet permitted to return to the classroom Superintendent Davis is “confident based on information given to us through contact tracing” that the kids caught the disease from the community and brought it into the school What’s changed from last year is the potential disruption for the education of other students came close enough to 21 students who lacked masks Summit County health workers with access to the state's vaccination database determined that 16 of them must stay home for seven to 10 days depending on whether they test negative for the virus five days later The five allowed to stay in the class are required to wear masks depending on whether they also test negative for the disease Woodridge was able to maintain 6 feet of social distancing last year with a spacious new elementary school and a hybrid model of online and in-class instruction for the middle and high schools only 75 have opted for the digital instruction meaning Davis can only guarantee 3 feet of distance Schools typically learn of a sick student before health officials Before labs have a chance to forward test results to the county health department staff member or coach will inform school administrators of a student who has tested positive The school then reviews classroom seating charts whether social distancing was practiced and who was wearing a mask while in close proximity to the infected student which the school emails to the Summit County Health Department County health workers then check the list against an immunization database curated by the Ohio Department of Health Students who are healthy and vaccinated are told they can return to the classroom where they're advised to wear a mask for the next week or two depending on whether they choose to take a COVID-19 test and show that they're not infected five days after exposure There's been some confusion on whether students must be masked and vaccinated to avoid the possibility of being sent home to quarantine not using them is a factor in whether students are put on contact lists and considered for quarantine students with proof of vaccination will not be asked to quarantine “We really want to emphasize to schools that if you follow the masking and social distancing guidelines — if you keep your kids 3 to 6 feet away you have masks that are mandatory — then in a classroom setting you should not have kids who need to quarantine,” said Brooke Semonin an environmental health specialist who advises schools and day cares on the prevention of communicable disease Reach reporter Doug Livingston at dlivingston@thebeaconjournal.com or 330-996-3792 —  A Duluth church became victim of a break-in and vandalism Tuesday Mary Star of the Sea on the 300 block of East Third Street Father Seth Gogolin said the statue of Mary in the high alter was destroyed He was taken to a local hospital for an evaluation before taken to jail on three felony warrants so mass is moved to the Duluth Cathedral Wednesday and Thursday Below is the church’s full statement: Seth Gogolin: I want to alert you to an incident that took place at St we became aware that a man had broken in to St there was some damage done to the high altar and to the free-standing altar and the statue of Mary in the high altar was destroyed Due to the damage that took place and the cleanup that needs to take place in the sanctuary Mass will take place at the Cathedral on Wednesday and Thursday We will be working with our insurance company to get things repaired and replaced We pray for the man who broke into the church as well as the police officers and firefighters who assisted in resolving the situation we will offer prayers of reparation for what took place Senior hitter Ivy Gogolin tallied nine kills, five blocks, and one dig to lead Hopkinton (16-2) to a 3-0 sweep over Algonquin in a non-league volleyball match on Monday.

A Holland city official was arraigned Tuesday on a drunken driving charge stemming from the Fourth of July weekend. Gray Gogolin, 51, was stopped by Ottawa County sheriff's deputies near a Park Township intersection around 12:30 a.m. July 3, after his vehicle veered off the road, Lt. Steve Kempker said. Gogolin is the city's director of leisure and cultural services. He entered a not-guilty plea in Holland District Court Tuesday to a count of driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor. Gogolin's vehicle left the roadway after he drove through a stop sign as he headed north on 160th Avenue near 32nd Street, Kempker said. A copy of his traffic ticket showed that the officer also cited him for driving without proof of insurance. Gogolin declined to comment on the charge Tuesday.

Gogolin, of Hopkinton, has played for the team since seventh grade, with Leid, of Wayland, joining in eighth grade and Rosa, of Sudbury, climbing aboard in ninth grade. “Their last major travel tournament, to win the championship was an awesome accomplishment for them,” DeSantis said. “All the accountability, work and responsibility to win a championship to finish it off. Really cool.” The team traveled to D.C., Kentucky, North Carolina, and Maryland this summer and will have a few more smaller tournaments in the fall as their AAU time wraps up. Gogolin, who committed to the University of New Hampshire in the early spring, was happy that the Huskies team didn’t change much, as most of the current team has been together for years. “[DeSantis] did a good job of finding a group of girls who were motivated and dedicated and that helped me stay on track and achieve my goals,” Gogolin said. She has been sticking to a workout program that Hopkinton’s assistant coach, Kerri Chatten, found for her through the owners of Matrix Physical Therapy, based out of Rhode Island. Gogolin's coach, Mike Greco, runs the program for her and her high school teammates to stay in shape. In addition to her AAU success, Leid has been participating in a handful of elite basketball camps over the last few weeks, mostly at the schools where she would like to play in college. Her recruitment is ranging from Division 1 to Division 3 schools, including Tufts, Hamilton and Union. At the camps, the colleges usually run their programs like their colleges practices with scrimmages, drills and ball handling. “I get to learn these drills and also see the difference between each college’s program,” Leid said. “And obviously meet new people.” Leid was voted an All-Star for the tournament that the Huskies won by other coaches, and that was just another reason DeSantis knows she will be successful wherever she attends college. “The Air Force coach told me she is the smartest high school player he’s ever seen on the floor,” DeSantis said about Leid. “She’s highly committed to getting better and improving her game and she’s a tremendous leader.” Leid also helped coach a freshman AAU team with DeSantis last year to get more experience. Leid was able to play against fellow Dual County League opponent Rosa during the high school season when Wayland and Lincoln-Sudbury dueled. Instead of playing together, they faced each other as the best players on their respective teams and Leid’s Warriors squeaked out Rosa’s Warriors by one point. “L-S thought they were going to kill us,” Leid said. “Our program lost some really good people and we ended up winning by one. It was really exciting.” Rosa enjoyed playing against Leid and seeing her on the other side of the court. “It’s fun that I know all her strengths and weaknesses and use that,” Rosa said. “I know she has a big leadership role on her team and I have a big leadership role on my team.” Rosa is trying to balance playing basketball in college and also picking a top academic school. “I’ve realized that playing in college is something I want to do,” Rosa said. “But AAU has helped balance my academics since I’m academically driven.” Regardless of where they all land, DeSantis is sure to miss some of his favorite players he’s ever had on the Mass. Huskies. “They’re such wonderful people and it’s going to be sad to see them go to college, but I’ll be in a front row chair,” DeSantis said. “They’ve put so much time and effort into getting better and that really gives me a great sense of pride.” On the boys’ side, Marlborough rising senior Chris Doherty played for a summer league at his high school before traveling out to South Carolina, Georgia and Las Vegas for AAU tournaments with the New England Playaz. He played in the Adidas Uprising Summer Championship. Playing about 30 games in the month of July, Doherty showcased his talent, as his club went to the Adidas Championship in Vegas and lost by two points. He made up for some lost time, as he missed summer AAU ball last year due to an injury. “I feel like I did pretty well,” Doherty said. “[Not playing last summer] put me in a little hole, but I had an even bigger summer.” And as a result, he has received calls from Rutgers, URI and has been in contact with South Carolina and Xavier and even Duke and Arizona have made calls regarding the star. For the rest of the summer, Doherty plans to work out and play with former Marlborough and Notre Dame star, Zach Auguste. Over at Nipmuc, rising senior Kyle Downing along with Algonquin senior Kyle Henderson play on the Mass. Select AAU team out of Central Mass. They played in a New England recruiting tournament in New York earlier in July and also played in Vegas. The team won last year and although they didn’t win this season, they played well overall. Downing is hoping to play at Bentley, since he wants to study business and play basketball, and he will continue to keep up with other sports. He plays golf in the fall and baseball in the spring. “I have a membership to a local gym and I go there with a football player from St. John’s,” Downing said. “We work out there a ton.” Medway star Riley Childs also experienced some travel this summer with the Mass. Mavericks. She played in Chicago and Washington D.C. in July. Her team made it to the semifinals of their tournament in D.C. Playing AAU ball this summer was more about having fun as she committed to Boston University last fall. “I love it. I’ve played since sixth grade and I’ve made a lot of connections that I wouldn’t have made if I stayed in Medway,” Childs said. “People have pushed me to be better and I’m really thankful for it. “I loved every second of it. I wouldn’t change anything about who I played for or where I played and it’s all made me who I am.” Franklin’s Ali Brigham also was able to travel to D.C. and Kentucky as she plays for the NEX Elite team. She has played AAU ball since fourth grade and also plays volleyball during the spring season. “I like to work out when I can by going to strength and conditioning and working on my game,” Brigham said. All of these MetroWest athletes are looking to play in college and AAU has been a major part of their development playing against top athletes around the country.

Down by 12 points at halftime, and then by 14 in the fourth quarter against Tri-Valley League foe Medfield, Hopkinton could’ve packed it up and patted itself on the back for a remarkable season. Instead, the Hillers fought back both times and made the Warriors sweat before Hopkinton's stellar season ran out of time as the second-seeded Hillers fell, 49-42, to top-seeded Medfield in the Div. 2 Central sectional final at WPI. Hopkinton's season ends with a 20-3 record while the Warriors (21-2) will face either Belchertown or Pittsfield in a Div. 2 state semifinal at the DCU Center on Monday. “I couldn't be prouder of this team," Hopkinton coach Mike Greco said. “They've shown such toughness all year. They've played through illness and injury. We've had a girl put off surgery until after the year, we've had a girl wearing a boot all year and taking it off for practices and games. The fight you saw tonight was just a microcosm of our season.” Down 39-27 with six minutes left in the game, Hopkinton began to battle back. A put-back rebound by Ivy Gogolin cut it to 39-29, but Medfield responded with a 3-pointer to push it to 42-29 with 4:19 remaining. With the score at 44-30 a few moments later, Calli Korbey and Mikayla Pucci combined for four straight points to cut the deficit to 10 points with 2:19 left in the fourth. With Medfield in the 1-and-1 bonus for free throws, Hopkinton began taking advantage of misses at the line as a layup by Pucci, and a free throw from Gogolin, made it 44-37 with 1:49 to go. A coast-to-coast fast break layup by Lilly Morningstar, off another missed Medfield free throw, pulled the Hillers to within 44-39 with a minute remaining. Unfortunately for the Hillers, the hole was too big to climb out of and Medfield's Margaret McCarthy hit several free throws down the stretch to ice the game and send the Hillers home. “We really wanted this one and tried our hardest but just came up a little short," said Pucci. “Our resiliency was a key part of our run this season and we fought back again tonight,” added Gogolin. “It's been part of our identity all year long.” The Hillers had split their regular season meetings with the Warriors, losing by three and winning by 31, but Medfield got the one that mattered most on Saturday. It was a worst-case scenario for the Hillers in the first half as the Hopkinton offense sputtered while everything seemed to fall for the Warriors. Neither team was great in the first eight minutes, but Hopkinton didn't find the scoreboard until a Gogolin layup with 5:20 left in the frame made it a 2-2 game. The Warriors pushed the lead to 7-2 before a Pucci layup made it 7-4. After a layup by Medfield's Megan Zona made it 9-4, a Julia Canestrari drive and layup made it 9-6 before a late Warrior basket gave Medfield an 11-6 lead heading to the second. Hopkinton fell into a deeper hole after the first possession of the second quarter as Medfield's Emma Anderson banked home a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to make it an eight-point advantage for Medfield. Gogolin responded with a layup for Hopkinton and then came up with a put-back rebound on the next Hiller possession to cut it to 16-10 with 5:00 left in the half. Trailing 18-10, Gogolin hit a layup off a nice drive and dish by Morningstar to make it 18-12 with 1:45 to play in the second. Medfield really put the hurt on Hopkinton in the half's final 35 seconds, however, coming up with six points including a buzzer-beating jumper to give the Warriors a 24-12 lead heading into the break. With 4:47 left in the third quarter, back-to-back 3-pointers by Regan Keavany pulled Hopkinton to within 26-20, and a layup by Gogolin made it just 26-22. Medfield was able to respond, though, and took a 37-27 lead into the fourth. "This was one of the best season's yet," Gogolin said. "I think our team chemistry was great, the coaching staff was great and everyone came ready to work every day. I'll definitely miss this team and this group of girls. This was a special group and a special season." With every bandage, bruise and stomachache, Lisa Gort is there. She’s a familiar, friendly face in school every day making sure children are healthy and happy. For the past four years, Gort has been working as a registered nurse for the Holland Hospital School Nurse Program. Tonight, the hospital will host a 5K run/walk to benefit the program that serves more than 8,000 local students. The program, which is primarily funded through the Holland Hospital Foundation, began almost 16 years ago in two of Holland’s elementary schools with one nurse. It has now expanded to include Gort and six other school nurses and three health aides. The program’s beginnings in elementary schools was based on the idea that the younger a child is, the more help they need managing their health, said Jodi Gogolin, director of community outreach at Holland Hospital. "The younger you can get them, the better," Gogolin said. "Ideally, it would be great to have one nurse in every school, but financially, it’s impossible." According to a 2011 report by the National Association of School Nurses, Michigan ranks last in the nation in its ratio of students to school nurses with 4,411 students for every school nurse. "We’re the worst in the nation," Gogolin said, which makes the role of school nurses in Michigan even more valuable. Gort’s job, along with six other area school nurses, is to address health concerns and help some students manage their chronic illnesses. Every day, she splits her time between Holland Heights and East K-7 and oversees about 1,100 school children. It’s a job that takes persistence, patience, logic and care, but it’s a job she absolutely loves. "We’re working with children — that’s the best part of the job," she said, smiling. And when she’s not seeing children, she’s in a classroom providing wellness training for staff or talking with parents so they know how to follow through with their children’s health and well-being after students leave school for the day. "It is a wonderful experience working in the schools, developing relationships with staff and students and with their families," Gort said. Many times during those interactions, Gort is helping to connect families with the appropriate resources in the community. "We do a lot of work between the physician, the school, the family, the eye doctor, the dentist," Gogolin said. "Access to primary care in our community is huge." The expertise of school nurses like Gort also helps to free up teachers’ time during the school day. "If you have 25 kids in your class, and you have somebody who comes up to you saying they don’t feel good or you have somebody in you class that has a chronic condition like asthma, that’s something the teacher has to deal with," Gogolin said. "Research shows nurses keep kids in school and they save teachers time." "It’s important to have school nurses, "Gort said, "Not just to care for the kids, but to teach the kids how to care for themselves." — Follow this reporter on Twitter @SentinelLisa. Heather Moreland and Michael Boden, both of Columbus, were married May 22, 2009, at North Bank Park by Fr. Stephen Ayotte. Parents of the bride are David and Mary Moreland of Canton. Parents of the bridegroom are Kenneth and Michele Gogolin of Columbus. Crystal Apostalides was matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Alyssa Moreland, Jessica Moreland, Nikki Gogolin, Heather Gogolin and Ashley Gogolin. Jason Moyer was best man. Groomsmen were Ryan Neer, David Steele, Tim Henn, Brett Daniels, Nick Boden and Joey Gogolin. The bride graduated from Perry High School and Ohio State University. She is employed as an equipment engineer by The Wasserstrom Company. The bridegroom graduated from Gahanna Lincoln High School. He is district manager of The Old Bag of Nails Pub. The “multilingualism” partnership project headed by Professor Ingrid Gogolin (Hamburg) and Professor Ingrid Piller (Macquarie) engages with the social and cultural challenges resulting from linguistic diversity. Migration and globalization have led to high levels of linguistic diversity but systematic efforts to bridge institutional language barriers to full and equal participation for those from non-dominant language backgrounds have been slow to develop. The negative impacts of language barriers contribute to group segregation and are connected to exclusion from full and equal participation in education, employment and other spheres of social life. The project examines the nature and consequences of language barriers particularly in educational institutional contexts, and at the intersection of formal and informal participation. It aims to highlight positive experiences and practices that serve to mitigate linguistic barriers to full and equitable formal and informal participation.

All rights reserved Marcos Gogolin has worked out a way to use unwanted plastic rope as the filament for 3D printers Link copiedShareShare articleA teacher wants to clean up the environment and create new industries at the same time by turning unwanted plastic rope into 3D printing filament Marcos Gogolin is a part-time teacher at TasTAFE with a background in architectural design and sustainability He has spent five years working out a way to take useless bits of plastic rope and turn them into something useful "Before I started working with rope I went on a trip, a journey to the west coast," he told Ryk Goddard on 936 ABC Hobart. "We had a couple of dozen people walking along the coast ... we picked up that year 4.5 tonnes of rubbish." Degraded plastic rope found on the beach. (936 ABC Hobart: Carol Rääbus) Mr Gogolin was shocked by the amount of waste and, in particular, took interest in the tonnes of small pieces of plastic ropes from fishing industries that were strewn along the beach. "Five months later I was given this 3D printer to develop courses with [at TasTAFE] and to produce more plastic," he said. 3D printers use thin lines of plastics, called the filament, to create 3D objects. Mr Gogolin figured if he could find a way to melt unwanted plastic rope into a thin, consistent filament for the printer, he could reduce the amount of plastic going into landfill. Huon Aquaculture produces about a tonne of plastic rope offcuts a week, some of which they give to Marcos Gogolin for 3D printing. (936 ABC Hobart: Carol Rääbus) Using offcuts from Huon Aquaculture, he began experimenting with hot glue guns from the hardware shop. "I damaged three of those guns," he said. "So I went to a better gun, which is an industrial quality." Working with his TasTAFE students, Mr Gogolin then developed a machine that can turn the plastic offcuts into a working printer filament. "It's all a little bit dodgy," he said of the cobbled-together machine. Small pieces of cut up rope go into this DIY machine to be turned into filament. (936 ABC Hobart: Carol Rääbus) "I'm thinking once we get going and have a business case, we can talk to some engineers and maybe develop a machine ourselves." Mr Gogolin said it was only a matter of time until his dream of using plastic rope for printing became a norm. "There is too much plastic being produced, it's crazy, it's completely out of hand. "I think it has to come to a point where to produce new plastic is so expensive, it's not viable anymore and people will start to value the resource of the waste."
