With the price of gas at an all time high…
We thought this tool might help you save some money when you fill up your gas tank. Simply plug in your zip code and you will get a listing of the best (and worst) gas prices in your area. While the site doesn’t include all local gas stations, it does list many in our area. The site is updated each night.

We hope this helps to lighten the burden of high fuel prices.
It’s summertime, the most popular time of the year for weddings. Have you ever had a sleepless night worrying about what could go wrong?
Unfortunately, some of what you’ve imagined can actually happen.
A bride’s most common “nightmare” is usually dress-related…it’s damaged or defective, or the bridal salon goes out of business. What if the bride or groom becomes ill and can’t make it to the ceremony? These are just some of the risks for one of the biggest investments you’ll ever
make (the average U.S. wedding cost is $26,000). You protect your car, why not
your wedding? The “Wedding Protector Plan” from Travelers can help ensure your day goes right. The policy will cover such things as:
The Wedding Dress: You can get repair or
replacement cost if the bride’s wedding gown or the groom’s tuxedo is lost or damaged.
Wedding Rings: You can receive repair or replacement cost if the bride’s or groom’s wedding band is lost or damaged.
Sudden Illness: If the wedding needs to be postponed because sudden illness prevents the bride, groom or their parents from attending, you can receive reimbursement for non-recoverable expenses.
Additional Expense: If a vendor suddenly becomes unavailable for your event but you can find a last minute replacement, we can reimburse you for the difference in cost.
Damaged Gifts: You can get repair or replacement cost if your wedding gifts are damaged.
Give us a call, and we can tell you how much this policy will cost!

From Start to Finish:New entrepreneur oppportunities at CCC allow students to create and then run a business
It’s an exciting time to be a student at Cayuga Community College. CCC is the only community college in New York State to offer courses that help an individual create, develop and then launch a new business in electronic media. In addition to future business incubator opportunities, the Telcom Department has launched two enterprises that celebrate entrpreneurship: Cayuga Records and C3 Studios.
The new Telcom course supports Cayuga Records and teaches students how to run a recording company from top to bottom. “We now have the capability to launch one new recording every year on our Cayuga Records label,” explained Cayuga Community College Electronic Media Programs Director and Professor Steve Keeler. “Our goal is to have the ability to launch four to five new recordings with our label a year.”
Already Cayuga Records is planning a CD release party celebrating its first recording: Colin Wilson’s “This is Why.” The album’s release will be accompanied by the sale of merchandise and the launching of a new website.
C3 Studios is a student-run video and film production company which will produce original works while instructing the students how to develop and operate a media business.
“There is no limit to what a student will be able to achieve in this new atmosphere of learning,” said Keeler. “A student can

alums were honored recently when their original productions were chosen to be among the few elite presentations during this year’s annual Theodore Case Film Festival at the Auburn Public Theater.
The Festival, which honors the legacy of sound film pioneer Theodore Case of Auburn, promotes the creative efforts of Central New York film-makers of all ages.

The CCC student productions ranged in topics from a behind the scenes expose of the inner workings of a local pastry shop to documenting the good works of a rural medical clinic in the far reaches of Nicaraqua.
“Many of the honored videos were completed as assignments for CCC Telcom television production courses,” Keeler said.
The CCC students and alums involved are Mark Veator (’08), John Young (’08), Elysia Moore (’08), Caleb Kerlin (’07), Michael Widger (’00), Kevin Losani (’00), Ryan Hallock (’08), Kristi French (’08), John McLeod (’08), and Nick Guariglia (’08).p

Over the summer, two high school interns, Colin Hewitt and Ben Keeler, worked for C3 Studios. (In the summers of 2006 and 2007, they participated in Telcom’s “Adventures in Television” program for high school students.) As part of their work for C3 Studios, they produced a short film for the “I Love NY Short Film Competition” called “I Love Upstate NY Foods.” Their film was chosen as one of the “Top 100” in the competition and is
eligible for Regional awards in the Central and Western regions. If you would like to view their work: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1566770/i_love_upstate_new_york_food/

Articulation Agreements Let Students Earn College Credits in High SchoolHigh school students interested in a career in Television,
Radio, Film or Sound Recording can start earning credit toward a college degree while still in high school. It’s all possible through articulation agreements between the student’s high school and Cayuga Community College.
“An articulation agreement allows students who have taken communications-related (media, video production, radio, journalism, photography) high school courses to receive college credit for those courses if they enroll at Cayuga Community College,” aid Cayuga Community College Humanities Division Chairperson and Electronic Media Programs Director and Professor Steve Keeler. “We are very interested in developing similar agreements with other high schools.”
For a school to qualify for the agreement, a review of high school communications-related programs will be needed to ascertain if the courses offered are compatible with the articulation program requirements.
“I was able to get a step ahead and take advanced classes at Cayuga Community College, simply because of the articulation agreement they had with my high school and local BOCES center,” said Josh Cradduck, ‘06 (Olean High School). “I felt as
if I was a step ahead of other students and that I was achieving my goals in broadcasting at a much more rapid pace. It was extremely helpful.”
“The articulation agreement through my high school made me ready for the challenge of college,” said Jo-Ann Tavano of Portville Central High School. “I arrived at CCC ready for more advanced classes.”
Cayuga’s Telecommunications Department is one of the most firmly established in the Northeast, featuring three outstanding communications degree programs: Telecommunications Technology; Broadcasting; and Audio Production.
The department’s practical approach to instruction emphasizes direct contact with established industry professionals in the classroom and studio, as well as through on-site internships.
More than 90% of CCC Telcom graduates were either employed or pursuing studies at a four-year institution.
If you would like to participate in CCC’s articulation program, contact Steven Keeler at 315-255-1743 or email [email protected].
