Cayuga CC Invites Public to Discuss M. L. King Legacy on February 11

Martin Luther King Jr. Day, while celebrated this year on January 17, will have a return engagement at Cayuga Community College during February.

To attract greater participation, the college library will host a special Community Conversation about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on February 11, during Black History Month. Campus traffic is low in January, with most Intersession classes held online or overseas.

The event, sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities, is one of many Community Conversations taking place statewide. Each brings together members of the community for a short reading followed by group discussion. Together, participants explore the impact of the selected subject on today’s lives and communities.

This year’s reading will be an excerpt from the 1968 speech, “The Drum Major Instinct,” in which King asks to be remembered as one who ‘‘tried to give his life serving others.’’ Follow-up questions will invite participants to reflect on King’s legacy of service and its effect on American lives and democracy. Norman Lee, director of student activities at the college, will moderate the discussion.

The event is free and open to the public, and starts at 11:00 a.m. in the Norman F. Bourke Memorial Library on the Auburn campus of Cayuga Community College.

The Cayuga Community College Men’s Basketball team broke an eight-game losing streak with a big win over the Red Baron Hoopsters of Corning Community College, last Thursday night, February 3rd, at home. The final score was 78-55. The team needed the win to fuel their desire to rack up more wins to finish off the season. There are four more regular season games. They played home Saturday, February 5th and have only two remaining home games: Wednesday, February 9th (8:00 PM) and Saturday, February 12th (3:00 PM).

The students rejoiced at the news of Cayuga Community College’s closing for all Wednesday classes on Tuesday evening last week. But when the storm that was forecast to hit overnight didn’t come, many were left pondering, why the early closing?

Jeff Rosenthal, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs and Dean of Faculty was contacted about the closing policy of the college. “The College has a rotating schedule of administrators who work with pertinent college staff

Why Was School Canceled Last Wednesday?and local agencies involved with travel and weather conditions to make determinations about closing the College,” Rosenthal said.

“My understanding is that the forecasters were expecting significant snow to accumulate in the central New York region commencing late Tuesday evening and extending well into Wednesday. In light of this, administrators gathered Tuesday afternoon to discuss options, and, based on the information available to them at the time, determined that it would be

advisable to close the College and notify members of the community as quickly as possible to ensure that everyone was aware of the decision.”

The storm was indeed expected by many, and Wegmans even showed the panic from the frenzy of shoppers late Tuesday evening.

“People were stockpiling water and groceries in case of being snowed in for days for the storm,” a patron of Big Kahunas stated, just another business that flourished Tuesday evening from the storm’s

If I ran CCC, I would...“...I would make the food better.” —Joe Prue, CCC Freshman

What would you do if you ran CCC? Send in your answers to: cayugacollegian@gmail.com with the subject “If I ran CCC”.

CCC Fulton has had a long standing tradition on Wednesdays. Each Wednesday, faculty, staff and students wear CCC clothing to show school pride, boost morale and spirit. Additionally, dressing on Wednesdays b e c o m e s easy by just donning your Cayuga clothing- and you’re all set to go.

The tradition was the idea of the author and a significantly smaller Fulton campus staff back in the late 1990’s. The Fulton campus was still in its infancy, and with finally gaining a “real” bookstore, everyone wanted to wear college logo clothing. So, CAYUGA Wednesdays was born. It’s really a celebration of how much we’ve grown here in Fulton.

Try This on for Size!During our modest beginnings, the bookstore used the hallway to sell

textbooks and other assorted goods. Then, while at

Holy Family (our 2nd location)

we took a g l o r i f i e d s t o r a g e closet and t u r n e d it in to a

bookstore, with four

walls, doors and shelves!

Over the years the tradition seemed to slip by the wayside BUT in 2010 the tradition was resurrected and is alive and well. Show your

pride and school spirit; wear your CAYUGA clothing this Wednesday!

New York Vs. E-CigarettesWhen New York set out to

make our state “smoke-free”, they succeeded. They’ve banned smoking from public venues, and raised taxes to $4.35/pack. With second-hand smoke as harmful as it is, the former victory at least is wonderful news for all. But now New York is trying to proclaim e-cigarettes (a smoke-free alternative to cigarettes) un-safe and ban all sales of them, and that’s just too far.

E-cigarettes are electronic cigarettes that are meant to substitute the real thing. They are the size of real cigarettes, and provide nicotine to the user through a vaporized solution. There is absolutely no smoke or combustion, mainstream or secondhand. They began to be sold in the US in 2005 and have caught on in popularity for many reasons. They are battery powered, and the full-size replaceable cartridges boast as many ‘puffs’ as a pack of cigarettes. Depending on the brand of e-cigarette you choose, this is still often a savings of $5/pack. However, they are not FDA approved, as they have been considered in the class of tobacco products. (Which is how cigarettes are on the market, even with being so wildly unsafe as to be absolutely lethal in nature. That’s a proven fact, but it’s a tobacco product, and considered exempt from inspection from the FDA.)

So, cigarettes are definitely unsafe, yet legal. Yet, e-cigarettes are not proven un-safe in any way, but just because they have not yet been proven safe, New York now wants them pulled from the market. I sense a theme here. First they spike the taxes claiming “We just want people to stop smoking, and this will make them when they can’t afford to anymore!” Then when people sensibly buy them on sovereign land they start trying to punish the Native Americans. Now when people do find a much healthier alternative to smoking, (but it doesn’t collect that $4.35/pack tax!) they try to put a

stop to that too.The worst things about cigarettes

are all the toxins and poisons in them, and the fact that you directly smoke them. Even Steve Hagar, Editor of High Times Magazine pointed out that marijuana use wasn’t dangerous unless you were smoking it. Even Robert Stutman, former DEA officer had to concede this point on smoking at “The Great Debate” last semester where they debated health concerns and more. Countless people have quit smoking, for good, by switching to e-cigarettes. Some of those users don’t even use e-cigarettes anymore, having used them only as a smoking-cessation tool.

Well, I’m going to put it to the test myself. Both myself and CCC student Farrah Penird, have ordered our e-cigarettes from www.blucigs.com and eagerly await their arrival.

I stopped smoking for three and a half years only to get sucked back in socially smoking and get hooked and start up full time again. I admit the hardest part for me in quitting is the actual “act” of smoking, and I hear I am not alone in this, which is why I think e-cigarettes are such a great answer for smokers who don’t want to smoke.

If you are under the age of 35, your lungs still have a much faster recovery, and research suggests you can gain back the lung health you’ve destroyed by smoking. Not to mention if you don’t care about not smelling like an ashtray, or poisoning yourself and others, it’s cheaper! A pack of ‘blucigs’ cartridges is $12 and their site offers free shipping, and it’s a top rated site – I did my research! This pack of cartridges equals 5 packs of cigarettes. That’s $2.40/pack.

We’ll post our updates so keep checking future issues so you can see for yourself how we’re liking the e-cigarette switch. So wish us luck, soon we should be smoke free and on our way to health! —Kat Taylor, Editor-in-chief

THE VOICE OF THE STUDENTS OF CAYUGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS PAGE THREE

Should there be a Law against texting while walking? You may think this sounds absurd but it is a growing problem across the World. Stories are popping up all over the place about people having accidents because their cell phones are distracting them from the simple task of walking.

In 2009 a 15 year old girl in New York City fell face first into a manhole because she was too busy texting to watch where she was going. Luckily the hole was only 4 or 5 feet deep so she escaped with minor bumps and bruises. The mother of the teen even discussed suing the city for the mishap.

Another incident happened recently when a women wandering through a shopping mall failed to notice a fountain while texting, and embarrassingly flopped head over heels into the water. These accidents

A Law Against Texting and Walking? by D.J. DuVall, Associate Editor

are leading people to wonder, what information is in these texts that people just can’t wait to read? A 2009 study showed that teens send and receive over 80 text messages a day, and that number is on the rise. This means that teens are probably texting in situations when their focus should be elsewhere, whether it’s in class, in a car, or while walking.

A law taking away something as simple as our right to text may sound ridiculous but if these clumsy accidents continue authorities may sadly have to do something to protect us from ourselves. Next time you are on your way to class and want to send a text, perhaps you should wait until you’re standing still or sitting down. Who knows what lies in your path to “come out of nowhere” and make you the next YouTube sensation.

School Canceled...FROM PAGE ONEexpected arrival. When students and employees heard of the day off on Wednesday, many went out and celebrated at Big Kahunas where CCC student Christina bartends and sings every Tuesday night for Karaoke night.

“I’m glad school was canceled!” said Farrah Penird, CCC student. “I got to go out and have a good time and know that I didn’t have school the next day.” Penird is one of the students that took advantage of the snow day to sing some karaoke late Tuesday evening. Another was Donald Merritt, who enjoyed the chance to sleep in late Wednesday. “It was awesome! It was nice to know a day ahead of time so you could prepare for the next day,” Merritt stated.

Cayuga Community College isn’t the only place that closed early in preparation for the storm that didn’t come. Other local businesses including Seneca Cayuga ARC closed, giving employees like CCC

Alum Lydia Soto the day off. A snow day, that wasn’t really

a snow day. Rosenthal further explained, “We recognize that forecasting is an inexact science and acknowledge that occasionally, opinions may differ as to the travel conditions. The safety and well-being of all members of our community are of paramount concern, and if we err, it is with your safety in mind that we do so.”

Employment Opportunity Fair in FultonThere will be an Employment/Opportunity Fair on the Fulton Campus on February 15th. The event will take place from 9:30 AM – NOON. Make sure to be there to take advantage of all the career information and possibly even make a connection with a future employer!

Kimberly Manrow, alumnus of Cayuga Community College and local owner/operator of Custom Accounting Services and Custom Business Services (http://www.custom-accounting-services.com), came in as a guest speaker in a recent Principles of Business class. It was interesting for the students to hear Kimberly discuss her journey into business ownership in an industry that she loves – accounting. Kimberly always knew that accounting was her destiny. Her experience at CCC reinforced her career aspirations and she realized that starting her own accounting services business was her goal.

Kimberly founded Custom Accounting Services in 1996 which provides bookkeeping services, accounting services, payroll services, tax preparation and business education/consulting. Kimberly is a licensed Enrolled Agent with the Internal Revenue Service, which allows her to practice taxation in all states. Kimberly now has four employees who work with her clients to provide these services.

Here are a few of Kim’s insights into small business ownership:• Be prepared to work hard! A

normal work-week for Kim is 60 hours per week. During tax season, she is prepared to work 100 hours per week. Even though she has four employees, approximately 65% of all billable hours are completed by Kim.

• A well thought-out business

Founder and President of Local Accounting Services Business Heads Back to Class

plan is a MUST before you start a business. Kim updates her business plan regularly so that she knows where she is headed in the future.

• Many small service businessescan start out very successfully as a home-based sole proprietorship to keep initial expenses low. Incorporating is something to consider as your business grows to avoid the risks of unlimited liability. “S” corporations are a nice alternative for small businesses to avoid the double taxation involved with incorporating.

• 90-95% of Kim’s marketing isdone through “word-of-mouth”. She now has approximately 340 clients that she has primarily obtained through this strategy.

• InKim’sbusiness,professionalismis crucial in terms of both image and confidentiality.

• Keep up on environmentalfactors that affect your business! For example, Kim keeps up on all tax laws and how they impact the services that she provides.

• Considerthatthefirst5yearsofyour business is the “infancy” stage. You should not expect to make much of a profit during these years and you need to be prepared for this.Above all, Kim emphasized that

you must be passionate about what you do. Kim enjoys helping her clients to realize their goals, and she truly loves what she does. This is key to owning your own business. We thank Kim for coming into our class!

COS MO’S C O R N E R

A new semester is upon us so here we go! This week I am reviewing Moro’s Table on Market Street in Auburn. The operator and head chef is Ed Moro, formerly of Mirbeau Inn and Spa in Ska-neateles. I had the pleasure of working with Chef Ed at Mirbeau, and I must say he is talented. As far as his new place goes, however, I feel he is coming up a little short.

First of all, the restaurant is located in the same building as the former Bistro One. Now the previous owners may have not have known how to run a res-taurant, but they knew how to decorate! The place looked fantastic. Chef Moro decided to change the décor and it is far from an improvement. It is very dark and somewhat dreary and he remade the bar out of steel. Yikes! Also, behind the bar is a gigantic wine-tap system; sorry Ed, not a fan of this. Tacky!

The service staff isn’t rude but not exactly friendly, and I can’t really put my finger on it but something is missing in this place-it just doesn’t feel comfortable to me. The one waiter that really was top-notch there (Marc LaClevere, from Paris) no longer is employed at Moro’s and that’s a big loss in my opinion.

Now as far as the food and drink

goes, I’ve been there twice. The first time my friend and I each had a margarita and it was over $20, ouch! In Auburn, really?? New York or Boston, o.k., but Auburn? No way! The next time I went I had an appetizer (Sashimi) and a couple drinks and it came to $40. To chef Moro’s credit the Sashimi was fresh and excellent. His menu offers half portions of entrées as well as whole ones, and there is a nice variety. What chef Moro does not under-stand is that Auburn is basically a blue collar town and not Skaneateles. Places like Lascas, Balloons and Michaels do a thriving business and have a loyal follow-ing because they give the customer a lot of bang for their buck! Mr. Moro needs to figure this out pretty quick or he may go the way of Bistro One. Because of chef Moro’s ability and his use of fresh ingredients I will give Moro’s table three out of a possible five Cosmos. However, I probably won’t be going out of my way to visit this restaurant anytime soon. Cheers!
