Steam Sets Off AlarmClasses at the Auburn Campus were interrupted for about 20 minutes, Tuesday, September 20th, beginning at 2 P.M. when a fire alarm was reportedly triggered by steam generated in an Organic Chemistry Lab.

Harmonic Brass Munich comes to CCC for Sept. 29 concert

Campus and community members prepare to be entertained, as Harmonic Brass Munich returns to Cayuga Community College at 7 p.m. Thursday, September 29 in the Irene A. Bisgrove Community Theatre. The concert is free and open to the public.

The five-piece brass band is renowned for its big, elegant brass sound and its serious musical work mixed with the humor of five unique guys. Each year, the band performs 120 concerts at venues around the globe, including New York’s Carnegie Hall.

Their visit to Cayuga this year will feature their latest program, One Day of Music, a repertoire of timeless classics such as Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” and Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,” the musicians’ personal favorites, and some light-hearted pieces.

The concert begins with the audience entering a time tunnel that ends with 24 hours worth of music distilled into a fast-paced, entertaining two-hour concert. Audience members will hear great music and share many laughs throughout the performance.

When driving down Grant Avenue in Auburn, you may notice something has been added to the long line of fast food, drive through, sit in eateries: a Panera Bread!

Many know of it’s deliciousness, but for those who don’t, they offer a nice sit down atmosphere where you can order custom made sandwiches, soups, smoothies, etc., along with their fresh daily baked bread.

Panera also lists the total amount of calories and ingredients for all the items on their menus, so no secrets. So for the calorie watcher, and those that are allergic, even vegetarian, they have special options just for you.

Even if you’re in a rush you can get anything on their menu though their drive through, a first for Panera’s in Central New York, as well!

So what do they do with all of their unsold bread at the end of the day? They donate it to help out those in need, just another wonderful thing Panera offers to Auburn.

Panera will also be opening a second store in the Carousel Mall in Syracuse, which will offer even more to the food court for sit down restaurant options.

So if you haven’t tried tried Panera yet you simply knead to! Panera’s store hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Clsoing time on Sundays is at 9 p.m.

After years of the Fulton campus being the underdog of education, the college has finally announced its plans to move its current 50,000-square-foot campus in the Fulton Commons into the former P&C Foods building at River Glen Plaza by the fall of 2012.

The college is buying the larger property from JHMPAC Inc. for $950,0000. The state has already committed to funding half of the $11.3 million dollars to renovate the building into a larger, more sufficient college campus while Cayuga County will bond for the balance of the project so there will be no extra expense to local taxpayers.

The new 20-acre campus, at the intersection of routes 481 and 57, will provide 71,000 square feet of space and the potential for the college to add 20,000 more square feet of adjoining storefront space. The college is even considering buying the 40 acres across from the land to use for athletic fields.

“We need the room because our enrollment is growing immensely in Fulton … and we’re basically in a strip mall,’’ said John Camardo, president of Cayuga Community College’s board of trustees.

Inside the new building area

will be 21 general classrooms, five dedicated computer labs, two rooms that could be computer/classrooms, two art rooms, two science labs for biology and chemistry, two conference rooms with the capability for distance learning, a library, a health suite, offices and a student support area made up of financial aid, bursar and admissions services.

Cayuga Community College needs the room to accommodate for a growing student population considering enrollment has increased by more than 1,000 students since 2006.

“We need to look out for our students. That’s our number one priority. We need to make sure it’s an affordable education,’’ Camardo said.

Therefore tuition rates shall remain the same for upcoming students. Whether students transfer or study for their career, the Fulton campus has helped thousands of students from Oswego and neighboring counties achieve their goals for higher education and will continue this for years to come. The construction of the new building will begin in April 2012 and will take about 13 months to complete, students should be able to use the new site for classes in fall 2013.

Chief William Marventano, Cayuga Community College’s head of security, sent out an email to both students and faculty members on September 16th forewarning about vehicle larcenies. Even though he says this had not been a major issue at Cayuga to this point, it has been a growing problem at many other colleges.

As you are on your way to class always double check to make sure vehicle doors are locked, and that sun roofs and windows are closed. NEVER leave anything lying in plain sight such as purses, laptops, IPods or even personal clothing.

Don’t Forget To Lock Up!By Kate Morley, Staff Writer

Cayuga Community College is not responsible for any stolen objects, Marventano’s best advice is “if it is valuable leave it home.”

If anyone witnesses a larceny in progress or any suspicious acts, call 911 immediately or contact the Office of Public Safety which is located right on campus.

Marventano says it only takes a little effort to defend against these types of actions.

Hello from the Editor-in-chief!

CCC Student TransformsFulton Campus’ Jay Wornick lost 175 pounds in 8 months

Jay Wornick in January 2011

Jay Wornick today!

Jay Wornick is a Liberal Arts major at the CCC Fulton campus. This past year, Jay, my husband, lost 175 pounds. It started off as a friendly bet and a New Year’s resolution. My husband and I would compete to see who could lose the largest percentage of body weight by April 2011. There was no competition, Jay blew me out of the water!

Prior to starting his weight loss journey, my husband weighed 366 pounds. He turned 30 and worried about his health and the behavior he was modeling for our three young children. His diet consisted of a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and high fat fast food. He would easily consume 7,000 calories in a day. Pizza, burgers and junk food were a way of life. He never ate a vegetable and his salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, meats, and cheeses all covered in creamy blue cheese dressing.

Jay shocked his body by dropping down to a 1,500 calorie a day diet of lean proteins and vegetables. He consumes a moderate amount of complex carbohydrates and occasionally has a portion of red meat but he has completely cut out sweets and fast food. With such a drastic change in his diet the body fat began to melt away at a drastic pace. By the time the 1st of February arrived he had lost 70 pounds.

In early February, Jay began to work-out at the Fulton YMCA. He started out slow with some cardio

and weight training. He can be found at the gym now seven days a week. Exercise has become his hobby and means of relieving stress. Even on our family vacation this summer, Jay worked out every day. He now uses HIIT or high intensity interval training and has increased the time he spends doing weight training. When he started, he was easily winded walking his children the few blocks to their elementary school, he can now dominate a 5K run in less than 30 minutes without batting an eye.

His will power and determination are astounding to me. I am so happy to know that my husband has a new lease on life. His health is no longer an issue. He is strong, healthy and happy. I am so happy that he will be with me on the day our children graduate college, hold his grandbabies and walk his daughter down the isle. Jay if you’re reading this, I want you to know you are an inspiration to me and everyone around you. Keep up the good work!

CCC MEN’S SOCCER TEAM ROSTER

CCC Women’s Soccer team in need of a “Jump”By D.J. DuVall, Sports Editor

As the 2011 Women’s Soccer team gets deeper into their schedule, they are hoping that some of the bounces start going their way. With just one win in their first six games, the Lady Spartans would like some of their hard work to pay off. After losing three consecutive games

by a combined total of 24-2, CCC dug deep in a hard fought game at Onandago CC where they fell just short in a 1-0 overtime loss. The girls will try to turn their season around in upcoming games against Tompkins-Cortland CC, SUNY Dehli, and home game against Alfred State.

COS MO’S C O R N E R

Well, it’s a new semester so welcome back to all students and faculty to Cosmo’s Corner, restaurant and bar review-just a quick requalification for the new folks. I have over 30 years of restaurant experience and have worked every position in the biz. I currently tend bar at the Inn Between Restaurant in Camillus, NY-hope to see you there!! Cheers! Anyway, this first review is on the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles, NY. I recently went on a Friday evening to check out the “Raw Bar” happy hour deal. They had “ Islip ” Oysters on the half shell, $8 for ½ dozen-they were really, really good-I know my oysters, having lived in Boston, MA for 10 years. Then I had the Shrimp Cocktail, four jumbo shrimp for $5. Not the tastiest that I’ve ever had but good, nonetheless. The place was packed and it took me a few minutes to get a seat at the bar, but I prevailed. The bartenders, Archie and Steve, have

been there forever and they get the job done, however, with little or zero personality. Oh well, just bring me my beer!! SIDE NOTE: I tip extra for a smile!! Anyway, the Inn has been around since 1815, and is in the heart of beautiful Skaneateles, on the shore of perhaps the most cleanest and wonderful lake on planet Earth. The Inn also has a nice restaurant in addition to the tavern. You can check out the menu online.

Reservations for the dining room are suggested but the tavern is a free-for-all. So check out the raw bar on Fridays between 4 p.m.-9 p.m. and happy eats!! They get 3 Cosmo’s out of 4 just because the bartenders are miserable!!

’sSupporting Your Favorite Team Comes with a Price $$

Like many others in today’s sports crazed world, I have certain teams that I support no matter what they do on the field, court, ice, etc. Some say it grows past “fan”, and becomes much more “fanatical”. I would agree that I am a “fanatic” of The Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and New York Yankees. I love supporting my teams by watching their games, wearing their gear, and occasionally attending their games. As prices on everything soar, more and more of us turn to the television where it is much cheaper to watch sports, and offers better angles, and camera views than any multi-million dollar stadium can give us. But when it comes right down to it, there is nothing better than being there live, right? So every year I try to attend a few games up in Buffalo and don’t get me wrong, I love being there, but wow are prices getting ridiculous.

While attending the Bills home opener September 18th, with my Fiancée it was brought to my attention just how expensive one little trip to Buffalo can be. First the gas, $40, Breakfast, $10, and tickets, $45 apiece. Then when you finally arrive almost three hours later, it is a staggering $25 to park in their parking lot. We saved some money by packing $20 worth of groceries to eat

before and after the game, but sitting out in the sun we got pretty thirsty. So I ventured down to grab us something to drink. After standing in line for almost fifteen minutes, and missing some of the game, I bought one bottle of the cheapest item on the menu. A twenty ounce bottle of water, that was an unthinkable $4.50, and they took the cap because it is a throwing hazard. On the way home we stopped for a quick snack and spent another $10, bringing our grand total to just a hair under $200.

Luckily our beloved Bills had a great come from behind win beating the Oakland Raiders 38-35 so all our expenses were quickly forgotten. If you come out on the losing end, it can be a much more depressing ride home. We were a cheap example, I witnessed people around us purchasing 4 beers for their buddies, at $8.50 a pop. Along with two boxes of food, including pizza at $7.50 a slice and $4 hot dogs. I guess it really doesn’t matter, because there was over 70,000 of us crazed fans packed into Ralph Wilson Stadium that Sunday afternoon. Just imagine if everyone there spent a minimal ten bucks the kind of revenue that was brought in that day would be staggering. The reality is that average was probably much, much higher. Interesting, but Creepy

By D.J. DuVall, Sports Editor

Did you happen to be at Ralph Wilson Stadium for the Buffalo Bills home opener against the Oakland Raiders? If so, hop on the Bills official website to check out their

new Gigapixel Fan Camera. It is a new accessory the Bills are offering where a camera was apparently placed at the 50 yard line at half time. The GigaPixel FanCam image consists of more than 10 billion pixels.

You can scan 360 degrees on the website and zoom in on anyone sitting from the front row, right up to the top of the nosebleed sections. Then you can tag yourself and share it via email, Facebook, or Twitter. It is just another way the organization reaches out to fans to make their game day experience a little more enjoyable, and a unique thank you to all that attend the games.
