“All Good Gifts” Await Godspell Viewers at Tri-C West!

The Tri-C West Spring production of Godspell marks the Northeastern Ohio musical premiere of the 2012 updated score! Get your tickets now for this must-see show. Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Godspell is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes in musical history.

Pierre Jacques Brault will be the guest director and choreographer for the show. He holds a degree in musical theater from Baldwin Wallace and is the co-founder of Mercury Summer Stock Theater, which is in its 15th year. Originally, the show takes place in a junkyard, but Brault is taking the shows location in a new direction – a New York City nightclub. Brault’s vision is to make the setting more relatable to today’s audiences.

Brault explained, “I wanted the company of 13 actors to be able to be locked into a space where they’re able to not escape and hear teachings and learn from each other and grow as individuals and grow as a group. In a junkyard setting they would be able to leave. If someone was like ‘I want you to hear about religion or faith’ the majority of people would be like ‘I don’t have time for it’. In this type of setting I wanted them to be locked into being able to grow as a community throughout the whole evening.”

Godspell is normally done with a cast of 8, but Brault added five extra people to symbolize Jesus and his 12

disciples. His modern twist on the show also complements the 2012 updated, more challenging version of the score. “I love it because it has so much more of a contemporary feel for a contemporary audience. They’ll be able to grasp onto the songs a lot more than the kind of folk-ish feel of the 1970’s,” said Brault.

Kira Seaton, Coordinator of Music, here at Tri-C West and Co-Founder of the Tri-C Performing Arts Camps, will be the music director of this show. Seaton is also very excited about the updated version of Godspell’s score. Seaton said, “It sounds like the composer Steven Schwartz has changed a lot to make much it more modern than when it first came out. There’s a little bit of the sing-off, a little bit of Glee, a little bit of a whole bunch of stuff in there so it should be quite fascinating, and it’s a blast to sing. The students are having a great time.”

This is Brault’s first production at Tri-C West, but not the first time he and Seaton have worked together. Brault played Amahl in Amahl and the Night Visitors under the direction of Seaton Years ago at the Music Settlement. Godspell marks a reconnection for them after over twenty years.

Godspell runs April 19th through the 28th. ‘Day by day’ tickets are going fast. Get yours now by calling the box office at 216-987-5537.

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your name on the big screen? For aspiring filmmakers Private Screening, Tri-C’s student organized media showcase, has become the first opportunity to accomplish this goal. Presenting the event is Metropolitan campus’ Digital Cinema Group (DCG), who seeks to “promote the cinematic potential of the moving image”.

“It’s more about a community; a community of media makers who want to show their work together in a celebratory environment” says Miriam Bennett. Bennett, an instructor and faculty coordinator of the Media Arts & Studies (MARS) program, inspired Private Screening in 2003 soon after becoming employed at Tri-C. Previously directing a film festival in Iowa City gave her the experience to mentor students in creating their own forum for displaying visual works. Continued on Page2

Tri-C’s annual Spring Job Fair once again shattered records, this time with more than 100 employers of all sizes attending, including Progressive

Insurance, Kaiser and Medical Mutual.The job fair took place on

Thursday, March 21, from 1 to 5 p.m. Nearly 700 job and internship seekers from all over the area flocked to the Tri-C East Campus gymnasium, with hopes of taking a major step towards setting their futures in motion. They were given no shortage of options, with employers from every walk of life, including amusement parks, financial services, healthcare, insurance, engineering, banking and retail. Attendees were also able to investigate a number of opportunities for paid and non-paid internships.

Shuttle transportation was provided between East, Metro and West, to allow as many people as possible to attend the event. It was sponsored by MVP Services, Massage Continued on Page 3

What would you do if someone gave you $10,000,000? Ted Hoffman, director of the Fire Academy based at the Western Campus of Tri-C, knows. In fact, he’s in the middle of the process now to spend it. While that much money can certainly buy a lot of fire extinguishers, his plan is much, much more extreme.

Currently, roughly 210 students go through the Fire Academy annually, split between three semesters. Spring and Fall semesters typically see three classes each of 30 or so students, while the Summer semester will only see one, with a waiting list for each class. All these students are usually packed into two classrooms in the basement of the Galleria at West, with the Academy offices two floors above.

The expansion plan, called the Crile Project, is a $10.2 million dollar plan to finish renovations to the Crile Building in the back corner of the campus, as well as add other amenities needed for training. The plan is currently going through the program phase, which means the architects

are sitting down with school officials, EPA representatives, and engineering staff to determine how to implement the plan, and what changes might be needed.

There is some urgency, as the sur-rounding communities get a large major-ity of their firefighters trained at Tri C. The groundbreaking is planned for this Summer, and the heat is on to make sure that they get the project completed for the August 2014 semester. With resources like the smoke house on loan from the City of Parma, and a planned burn house that can be reconfigured as needed, training will be decidedly more predict-able, and can be cheaper in the long run. Current “live burns” are conducted via donated homes; the process for a 3-day-learning experience can take weeks to set up with county and Federal officials. The target market for the Fire Academy goes beyond just the local communities, ap-proaching a quarter of the state of Ohio.

This is not a simple expansion, as a soccer field will be moved to accom-modate a new runoff reservoir, drive pad for driving tests from motorcycles to fire trucks, new pads for the burn and smoke houses, and more. In addition to more classrooms in the Crile Building –allow-

ing the Fire Academy dedicated classroom space for more classes – there are features being added to improve other Academies. Provisions are being made to allow the Emergency Medical Technician classes space, possibly moving from the Health and Technologies center. Additionally, programmable driving simulators are be-ing installed for vehicles like fire trucks or police squads, and programmable firing simulators are planned for the Police and Security Academies based out of Metro.

The plans also include a changing room, a security perimeter, and a shoot-ing range in the expansion. The shoot-ing range will not only be large enough to drive a squad car inside for Tactical practice, it will be open to the public and nearby police departments, with stricter security scrutiny. While other communi-ties have ranges for their police forces, few have ones this large. Rest assured, Campus Security will be paying close attention, and range safety courses are mandatory before using the range.

While all this does not come cheap, much of the work was already done when the State abandoned plans five years ago to take over the Crile Building. Even better, tuition will not be increased to pay for the plan.

Despite the roller-coaster of expectations behind the scenes of production and organization, this 11th annual Private Screening will be, “a real learning experience for the filmmaker” says Bennett.

During his sophomore year in high school Joseph Young, now a MARS student and secretary of DCG, set out to “communicate a message to the masses”. With a simple hand-held Sony camera he began to express himself through online viral videos. “I have a lot of ideas and I believe film is the most realistic medium in order to express my ideas” says Young.

In conjunction with his peers’ films, Young will debut An Ode to the Theanthrope, a philosophical drama exploring the affairs of mankind. “I really want an audience of people I don’t know to see my work, to see my message” he says.

Once judged by industry professionals, student productions will be displayed in HD quality in the black-box theater.

Recent Tri-C Photography Alum, Casey Rearick, is this year’s photo judge. Organizers are excited to collaborate with him again and anticipate a great turn out for photo entries this year with the theme being Behind the Scenes at Tri-C.

Tri-C students from all campuses are welcome and encouraged to submit their short films, photography and graphic art to be considered for the media showcase. The final deadline for submitting works will be April 20th. Submission forms and further details on how to participate may be found at www.cccvoice.com.

Private Screening is scheduled for 6:00 pm on Friday, May 3rd at the Tommy LiPuma Center for Creative Arts in room 107.

My Fellow Students, You Can Work at Tri-C!

A New Popular Collection & National Library Week Come to Tri-C!

Job Fair Continued from Page 1

On March 20, 2013, 3 dozen irate Strongsville City School teachers picketed outside of the B building doors at the Tri-C West Campus. They chanted long and hard for one man: Associate Dean of Health Careers and Science, David Frazee. Their chants consisted of taunts and demands such as, “Come out, Frazee!” to, “Just come out and negotiate with us, Davie!” They shouted and shouted, but Mr. Frazee did not show.

But why would these educators come to our turf and challenge Frazee? Well, Frazee is not only the Associate Dean of HC&S, but he’s also one of the main board members that are involved and being attacked by the teachers strike in Strongsville. Frazee has been the voice and rock of this unfortunate event; he has not budged on the idea that the teachers

are not able to be given any more raises due to city budget, as the average Strongs-ville teacher makes about $70,500 a year, after pension added (according to the Plain Dealer). Also, in a phone interview Frazee had with The Plain Dealer, Frazee said “I’m trying to keep a line between my work at Tri-C and the school board.”

The teachers and school board had failed to come to an agreement on several cases of their contracts. With each week, the teachers are becoming more and more eager to settle this dispute. Although they have had these recent negotiations, they have all ended up in a stalemate and have done nothing but slow down the charge of the teachers.

At this point, it is safe to say that the true people that are being hurt at this point are the few thousands (2,600) of students in Strongsville that are being subjected to lower experienced and paid substitute teachers. The violent nature that is brought with strikers brings high security into the picture. It has been noted from the Plain Dealer that there has been about 1.8 mil-lion dollars spent at this point to hire and maintain a substitute staff and security to protect the schools and students from the mob. Who will tell if the strike will end tomorrow, or will last another month, but the fact is the teachers are not being paid and will find equilibrium eventually. So, just stick in there, Mr. Frazee!

East and West campuses. At the Western Campus, it is in the right hand side of the front of the library and the art, music and sports books that used to reside there have now been moved into the rest of the Tri-C collection. Also, the popular periodicals have been moved to this section as well. “The collection has been a huge hit with the students,” says Peter Jennings, a lecturer and librarian at the Western Campus. “It is frequently packed with students reading, studying, gaming working on assignments of hanging out with their friends.”

The official opening of the collection at the Western Campus will take place on Tuesday April 9th from 2:00-4:00 P.M. in the library. Western campus president, Dr. Rowell, will be in attendance to give a short speech. Refreshments will be served and anyone from Tri-C or the greater community is welcome to attend.

National Library Week is also going to be celebrated at the library! It takes place from April 14-20th, and this years theme is “Communities Matter at Your Library.” Several clubs and student organizations from

the Campus Activities Board to the Drama Club will have displays set up in Metro, East and West Campus libraries so that the students can learn about them. There will also be video games available for students to play during the week. Library fines will also be forgiven on any and all overdue library books!

At the Metro Campus, a discussion is going to be held during National Library Week about the book Shopping Cart Filled With Love, that was co-written by a faculty member of Tri-C, Nick Salupo. According to the books official website, “The book is…meant to be a special recognition piece to all the mothers raising children and sacrificing everyday to see that their children are safe, well nurtured and are moving along well on the difficult road to maturity.”

“By having these events we are bringing together the many parts of that comprise Tri-C to create opportunities for students, faculty, staff and community members to make new connections and learn more about their campus community.” says Jennings.

What Words Cannot Express

Angelo Merendino’s photographs of his wife Jennifer’s battle with cancer are heartbreaking, captivating and inspiring. In his series of black and white photos, Merendino takes us through the daily life of the couple. Originally Merendino took the pictures to send to the couple’s family and close friends. He felt that the enormous support they had the first time Jennifer was diagnosed had diminished by the time she was told that the cancer had come back. “I mean, it was our worst fear,” Merendino says, “to hear that the cancer had come back… We felt that people didn’t understand how hard it was.” The collection of stunning pictures that document the time leading up to Jennifer’s death are so raw with emotion, no words could describe that type of experience.

One of the couple’s close friends suggested sharing the photographs with others. Merendino states the response was overwhelming, “women who were inspired by Jen’s grace and courage”. A touching

moment for the two was when a woman emailed them saying she finally got a mammogram because she was inspired by Jennifer. Merendino explains, “Everyone deals with cancer differently. Jen and I chose to be open about it”. They want others to gain something from their battle.

“After Jen passed,” Merendino says, “it was hard being [in New York] without her there”. It wasn’t the same for him, and he felt he needed to move forward. Merendino moved back to his home here in Ohio. After having his photographs featured in galleries all over the country, he is settling down to write a book about him and his wife’s journey. Merendino is aided by photo editor of The New Yorker, Whitney Johnson.

Merendino hopes that what people get from his story is that “you don’t have to know what to say. Just be there.” He adds that just being there for your loved one who is going through the same fight Jennifer did. It means so much when there is the support of your friends and family, even in simply their presence, or a simple card or email. He says, “Don’t just fall off the face of the earth. Just be there for them.”

Strongsville Teacher's Striking Outside of Tri-C

“I’m trying to keep a line between my work at Tri-C and the school board.”— David Frazee, Associate Dean of Health Careers and Science

Sometimes people are born with their career spark. Other people have to get the vision from watching someone else. Years may pass before some get the inspiration. In Cody Miller’s case, he took a trial and error route when he vis-ited a wood shop.

“I was at a wood shop in high school. I was playing on some crummy little $100 squire fender guitars. I could just make one for as much as I pay for a squire. “

Miller resides in Fairlawn, Ohio. He is involved in the RAT program at Tri-C.

“My first one was not a success. Over the years I built up my skills for crafting it. Three years later, I made something that is actually pretty playable.”

In the garage is where Miller creates the well-crafted and replicated guitars. Inside, many tools, instruments and saw dust cover the crafting area. Miller has done some of his projects free hand be-fore acquiring the tools he uses. He has a model composed on a piece of wood to get the body needed for his projects.

“A lot of companies use maple, mahogany, rosewood and ebony and some use walnut” Miller said when he described the wood used for building

guitars. “For the most part, the guitars make are maple and mahogany”.

Two weeks is about the average time it takes for Miller to complete a project. The weather, like anything, plays a big factor in production.

Miller not only builds guitars but remodels them also. He has only electric models at the moment.

“Along with the machines, I use a hand router for just about everything along with a scroll saw which is just a 4 inch band saw” Miller replied when asked about the other materials he used for crafting.

Pick-ups, tuning pegs, hard ware, strings and guitar necks are additional pieces Miller purchases before building guitars. Pick-ups, according to Miller are “over glorified microphones” which people think make the guitar’s sound.

Besides additional pieces, Miller also has to charge for the overall finished product. Depending on the parts his clients want on the guitar, Miller charges between $500- $1000 for his work.

“In actuality it’s the wood” Miller said. “Picks up are taking the voice of the guitar and amplifying it”.

Miller’s ultimate goal is learning ev-erything he can about music. He would like to make a studio with a few other members in the RAT program.

“Anything music related, I would be absolutely happy with.”

When someone thinks of the word transition, one could assume it is the transitional stage of the completion of high school entering into college or jail to community initiatives. Located on all campuses, Cuyahoga Community College’s Women in Transition is a student orga-nization designed solely for women. The program launched in 1978, primarily as a pilot program for the state of Ohio.

“The Women In Transition program is for women who are in any stage of transition in their lives” said Kendra Willis, Program Assistant at the Metro campus. These transi-tions could be going back to school, develop

career building skills or obtaining a GED.Celebrating 35 years of service this

summer, the organization is looking for women who are seeking the opportunity to obtain a higher education in hopes of achieving a high level of excellence inside and out of the classroom. WIT does not limit its focus on the students of Tri-C. It is for women in the community as well, ranging from 19 years old and up to 37 years of age. The eight week long program is held four times a year and consists of free non-credit courses which include: support and networking groups, life man-agement workshops, information, and other resources to serve as a guide for a more successful lifestyle.

On May 9, 2013, WIT’s spring class will be graduating this year.

Bank Robber to Face Federal Judge for Sentencing

Former Tri-C student Kevin Wal-cott pleaded guilty to bank robbery last month and will face a federal judge for sentencing April 30.

Last term, while attending classes Walcott, 39, was robbing banks and causing alarm among bank employees around the Greater Cleveland area between his studies, according to police and FBI reports.

The FBI named seven banks Walcott is suspected of robbing, including the bank in Shaker Heights where he was ap-prehended Nov. 21.

The robberies all took place beginning Oct. 26, with some robberies taking place just one or two days apart from each other.

The news came as a shock to students in Walcott’s Tuesday and Thursday after-noon Small Business Management class.

“He was a really cool guy. I would never thought that he would be the type of person that he turned out to be, but some people just make bad decisions,” said Diane Taylor-Gates, who was in Walcott’s class.

This is not the first time Walcott is charged with bank robberies, The Voice was the only news organization to uncover Federal Bureau of Prisons records that show Walcott was released from federal custody March 29, 2011, after serving time for robbing banks in the past.

U.S. District Court records show Walcott was charged and arrested with three counts of bank robbery by force or violence on Oct. 14, 1998. After pleading guilty to those charges, he was sentenced to nearly 4.5 years imprisonment, three years supervised release, and ordered to pay $13,969 in restitution to Dollar, Charter and Star banks.

Shortly upon being released from prison, and into the watchful eye of the U.S. Probation Department, Walcott caught another case, this time three counts of “unarmed robbery.” Arrested once again for robbery on Dec. 18, 2002, Walcott went through the motions to have a trial, but relented on April 8, 2003, to plead guilty to the two counts, while the third count was dismissed.

Walcott now faces up to 30 years in prison or a $1 million fine. Courtesy of flickr cc.

The Call Review

If you like suspense and movies that have you on the edge of your seat then “The Call” is the movie you should watch. Jordan (Halle Berry) is a 911 dispatcher who loses her focus while taking an emergency call. After finding out that her slip up had cost the young caller her life she couldn’t forgive herself. Jordan was placed in a similar situation where would be able to help another caller. Not wanting to go through the same situation as before she focused on how she could help save the girl. Though through all her hard efforts to help the police and detectives catch up with the kidnapper he was always one step ahead. When Jordan’s boss told her to take a break from the whole ordeal

she took it upon herself to find the girl. Some parts of the movie have had plenty of people saying “I wouldn’t have done that” or “If I was her I would have…” It even had the audience shaking their heads at some of the side characters who were oblivious to the situation. This movie has made people imagine themselves in Jordan’s and the young teenager’s shoes without them even knowing. The angle shots and close-ups throughout the movie made the effects of it all a little more interesting. Seeing what Jordan sees in one shot, seeing what the kidnapper sees in another, it shows a scene in many ways the characters are. To save the best for the last the ending is what everyone didn’t expect to happen to the kidnapper yet that is what made the movie even more entertaining. The movie was different and very informative on things to do or not to do in certain situations.

Project Go!

As a student of Cuyahoga Com-munity College your primary focus is on the classes and credits you need to obtain your associate degree. That and financial obligations can weigh heavy and most of the time cause it to be very arduous for a student to concen-trate or even graduate. This is where Project Go steps in.

Project Go is a grant-funded project that helps students access public benefits. “This was put in place to help students concentrate on their studies as well as informing them of resources available that they may not be aware of,” said Dr. Sandy Robinson, Cuyahoga Community College’s Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Project Go started when several col-leges were chosen to identify how they would help their students. Tri-C was working with United Way of Greater Cleveland 211 to access various resourc-es outside the college. Project Go benefit coaches are trained to assist applicants in their quest for public assistance. Tommy Stevens is one such benefits coach. “I have been trained through the Ohio Food Bank, to sit with clients and help

them fill out applications for public as-sistance anywhere from WIC, cash as-sistance, food stamps, HEAP and Medic-aid,” Stevens said.

If you are interested in services from Project Go there are offices on all four campuses. Information is also located on My Tri-C Space under the My Info tab. The enrollment center, counseling offices and student ambassadors have information on this project as well. Literature is also stationed near the campus food pantries.
