CCC Student Charged with Stealing Cash from College By Jessica Miles, Editor-in-Chief

State Senator Valesky Visits CCC

State Senator David J. Valesky, a democrat representing the 49th Senate District in New York State visited the Cayuga Community College campus last week to appear on the campus-produced cable television talk show hosted by Former Auburn Mayor Guy Consentino “Inside Government.” During the television show, Valesky commented on the scandal involving former Governor Elliot Spitzer. Valesky says when the news broke in Albany, everyone thought it was a joke. He says he hasn’t spoken with Spitzer recently. The pair had campaigned for each other in their bids for election. Valesky says he expects to have a good working relationship with the new Governor, 53-year-old David Paterson. Valesky also says he doubts the Legislature will pass on budget on time this year. Valesky, who is a Clinton-pledged delegate, says he will travel to Denver in August to attend the Democratic National Convention. Commenting on the current unrest between the democratic candidates running for President, Valesky says he expects the controversy and the back-and-forth banter between the two to last right up to the convention. Before appearing on the show, the State Senator had time to visit with Cayuga Community College President Dr. Daniel P. Larson.

CCC student, Eric E. Sutton, 18, a resident of Lattimore Hall in Auburn, has been accused of stealing more then $22,000 from the college. Sutton was also recently charged in an ATM theft scheme in the City of Auburn last December. According to the Auburn Police Department, Sutton has been charged with third-degree grand larceny and first degree identity theft, both felonies. Not only is Sutton charged with these two offenses but he also faces a misdemeanor charge of thirddegree possession of person al identification information. Sutton had allegedly transferred money through fraudulent transactions dating back as far as December 2007. According to APD Detective, Chris McLoughlin, no personal identification information was stolen. Police say Sutton took the money from a direct loan account at the college. CCC spokesperson Pam Freeman said the early transactions were for minor amounts. Over time, the money became increasing more, which then drew the attention of the bank. In a separate investigation, Sutton was charged with a felony charge of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and a misdemeanor charge of seconddegree criminal impersonation, according to the APD. Sutton was also charged with allegedly possessing credit cards that did not belong to him. Sutton was sent to the Cayuga County Jail on bail of $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond, which neither has been paid. Not only was Sutton involved in serious criminal acts, but he accused by students in his dorm of mischief. Students at Lattimore Hall say Sutton had become a nuisance. Students living there report having had a few confrontations with Sutton. A student at Lattimore Hall who asked not to be identified commented on Sutton. “One night we were in our room playing cards and he had come in. He had been doing some shady stuff before and we were not comfortable with having

Eric Sutton is charged with stealing more than $22,000 from Cayuga Community College. him there. We kindly asked him to leave, which he did. A few minutes later I went down stairs to get my laundry. When I got into the hallway, all I could smell was urine, I looked down and the floor was covered in urine. It was all over our door, our carpet; I had stepped in it but didn’t realize it because I had shoes on. That is all you could smell.” However, the student says the problems did not stop there. “The following week, we had a day off during the week. My roommate went downstairs to talk to Eric about the week before. I went down with her to make sure she didn’t do anything stupid. There was a bunch of people around, so Eric got into my roommate’s face, so I got back in his, telling him to get out of our faces. As we are walking out he had a knife in his hand and says to me ‘bitch, I know where your head lies,’ as he was waving the knife in my direction.” The day after the incident, another student went and reported Sutton to the Residential Director of Lattimore, who encouraged the student involved to go to the police station and file a report. “I went and filed the report, but I didn’t press charges, he (Sutton) already has enough against him,” the student said.

Dear Tasha - Ok so, I asked this one girl out to the movies and she said yes. Now I want to call her and talk to her to make arrangements but the problem is she doesn’t know I have her phone number. Would you think that would be creepy? Anyway, if I call her what should I say? Thanks. –Nervous Dear Nervous – Don’t worry about what she’s going to think. She said yes to you, so call her. And do it soon so that she doesn’t lose interest in you or think you are losing interest in her. If she asks how you got her number, tell her you got it from a friend so that you could set up the date or tell her you got it from the phonebook. I honesty don’t think she will be that concerned how you got her number as long as you called her. Now, all you have to do is ask her when she’s available and what would be the best time for her and everything should fall into place from there.

Courtney and Quintessence

A REVIEW by STEPHANIE QUINN

The Latin flavor was in full swing Wednesday, March 26 when the band Courtney and Quintessence performed their unique blend of Latin, pop, jazz, oldies, and even disco in the cafeteria. According to Courtney, the lead singer, the four piece band has been together for six years playing locally from downtown Syracuse to Rome to Pennsylvania. Courtney’s smooth voice paired with the tight instrumentals of the rest of the band attested to the fact that it is possible to have decent stage presence on a platform that four people can barely fit on. Most of the songs played were covers by artists such as John Mayer, Maroon 5, Sheryl Crow and many by Selena, but the group is working on some originals. Although many of the songs performed were sung in

Spanish, Courtney admitted that she is not bilingual, but enjoys how beautiful songs sound in Spanis, especially those sung by her idol Selena. The age gap in the band is quite large as the guitar player is the father of Courtney. However, this age gap is slighted with the help of some classic jazz songs such as “East of the Sun” and Quintessence’s corresponding Latin jive. Even the ever legendary “La Bamba” had a place in the band’s full set, pleasing many in the audience. The future of Quintessence is unknown as Courtney is planning to pursue her own music career in Nashville in the coming year. Although the audiences in Central New York will miss Quintessence’s leading lady, this will definitely not be the last time we will see her.

St. Alphonsus School Scholarship: $1,940

Awarded to a returning sophomore who demonstrates academic achievement with a GPA of 2.5 or better and proves evidence of financial need. Preference will be given to relatives of alumni of St. Alphonsus School or its successor schools; otherwise recipient must be a resident of Cayuga County. Application deadline for each academic year is May 1.

Ralph W. Standbrook Scholarship: $1,046

Awarded to a full or part-time student majoring in the Geographic Information Systems /AS program who has completed at least six credits of GIS courses with a GPA of 3.0 or better. Application deadline for each academic year is May 1.

Sylvania-GTE-Philips Employee Association Scholarship: $246

Awarded to a former employee or child of same of what was either Sylvania, GTE, or Philips Display Components (Seneca Falls plant) or to a returning sophomore with financial need and a GPA of 2.0 or better.

Ward Family Scholarship: $428

Awarded annually to a full-time returning sophomore who has demonstrated significant academic achievement as a full-time freshman at the college with a minimum 3.0 GPA and who has intentions of completing a four-year degree. The successful candidate must also give evidence of participation in extracurricular activities, community service, or work. Application deadline for each academic year is May 1.

Students Collaborate for Professors By Kara Kinney, Contributing Writer

Are you Textually Active? By Natasha King, Staff Writer Texting has seems to be the leading form of communication, mostly popular with teens and young adults. So why has this phenomenon become such a big deal? “Texting is easier than actually talking on the phone,” says Rachel Tomlin, freshman at CCC. “Plus, it’s less distracting to others if you are texting rather than talking.” Tomlin says she texts all throughout the day, every day. She says texting has become so popular because it is more convenient as well as easy. “Teens are able to get away with texting, especially during school.” Most people feel that texting is far less disturbing than calling a person and expecting them to talk on the phone. Texting is easier because it does not require immediate attention and you can check it quickly and save it for a later response; whereas a phone call takes immediate response and requires devotion from both sides of the conversation. Plus, gathering

information through a text is easier than having to try to understand voicemails. Texting is the option chosen over talking because it gives you the chance to think about what you would like to say beforehand, which you can not do during a phone call, says Tomlin. Chelsey Perkins agrees. “It’s an easy way for me to talk to my boyfriend when I am at school and he is at work,” she says. Perkins says she thinks the texting craze is catching on because almost everyone has a cell phone. It is easier than worrying about losing the signal in the middle of your conversation. However, texting is not popular with everyone. “I find it very irritating,” Corey Huband states. “It is really distracting. I think people are just too nosey, always asking where you are and what you’re doing. I think it is just extremely annoying.”

Father’s Story Battles Son’s Deadly Drug Addiction A REVIEW by MARK RINGWOOD Memoirs written by and his father David Sheff offer two completely different view points on a topic which affects so many people. Nic Sheff writes his story in a memoir named, “Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamine” (Simon & Schuster $16). His father, David, tells the same story about his son’s drug use and how it affected him in a memoir called “Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey through His Son’s Addiction” (Houghton Mifflin Co. $24). Most experts agree drug addictions don’t only affect those who are taking the drugs. They destroy whole families and wreck friendships. It’s truly a golden opportunity for anyone who has the chance to read these memoirs written by the Sheffs. This is a opportunity unlike any other because they shed light on both sides of the heart breaking story. Readers can now, unlike ever before, understand exactly how the drug user felt and how it hurt his family both physically and emotionally. These books have the potential to be exceptional. For one, Starbucks has selected “Beautiful Boy” for sale, so we

know it’s riveting enough to keep the attention of caffeinated readers (which is not easy). For another, the real life horrors this family has endured will force even the most ungrateful spoiled brat to take a step back and realize how lucky he really is. Both books are being printed concurrently. Nic’s version is obviously darker and more brutally honest. Both books recall the same painful events, while shedding their own unique light on the situations. In an interview with David Sheff he admits his disgust and embarrassment toward his earlier parenting styles. He tells how he had actually smoked marijuana with Nic in attempt to bond. David Sheff also recalls times when he had admitted to Nic, he too had once use methamphetamines. After two years of sobriety Nic is trying to straighten out his life for good. He uses his writing as a way to vent his feelings and frustrations, instead of turning to drugs. Nic and David Sheffs stories have earned great reviews and are packed with knowledge on drug addictions. They could be very helpful to anyone who’s close to someone going through a similar problem.

Have you ever wondered what the yellow signs, around the school are? Sean Grover, a criminal justice major at Cayuga Community College, also wondered. Approximately two weeks ago, Grover found out what the yellow signs hanging on some professor’s doors were. Grover was really bothered by that the teachers had not received a raise since 2003. For at least a week he could not stop thinking that, we, the students, should do something to help our professors. He decided that the students should petition to accept the union’s contract. Grover spoke to Kara Kinney, a sophomore, and asked her what she thought about his idea. Kinney agreed with Grover, and they proceeded to write the letter. It is as follows:

To Whom It May Concern, We are the students of Cayuga Community College, and we would like to plead the case of our professors and faculty. We believe that the powers that be should agree to the terms of the faculty contract. Without our professors, we wouldn’t have any reason to attend Cayuga Community College. We are making an appeal to the powers that be and the community in general. Please give our professors what they rightfully deserve. In the week that followed Grover and Kinney collected signatures from the students in the hallways, recreation room, library, café, and

other places on campus excluding classrooms. The petition was circulated Monday through Friday on the Auburn campus during the day. The petition was not circulated at night, weekend, or on the Fulton campus and still obtained 120 signatures. On Friday, March 7th the letter was delivered to the President of the college, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Honorable Roger Mills county legislature, and Mrs. Crothers; the president of the teacher’s union. The letter was also delivered to The Citizen, the Auburn daily newspaper, for the purpose of making the community aware of the issue. Grover believed that if the community knew the professors have not had a raise since 2003 it might help the cause. The last step was to deliver the petition to the teacher’s union so that they would know exactly how many students care. Mrs. Crothers said, “The letter is very important in showing the student’s support”! The old contract had expired on August 31, 2004. There were no raises, or changes for any of the full time faculty since. The negotiations are going a little better now, there is no proof that the petition is the reason, not everyone knows about it. The faculty members that do know about the petition are delighted and greatly appreciate it. The teachers now have a tentative agreement, but it must be approved by the county legislature. The members of the Faculty Association and the Board of Trustees will have to ratify it after that. Grover says that he hopes that everything goes well for the teachers. He also said he is glad that so many students wanted to sign the petition to support the faculty.

SPARTAN SPORTS CCC LAX MEN LOSE AGAINST COUGARS By Jesse Cases, Staff Sports Writer The Cayuga Community College Men’s Lacrosse team lost their second game of the season on Thursday March 20th in a hard fought game vs. the Cougars of Genesee Community College by a score of 13-8. The Spartans were led by Nate North with six assists, and team leading scorer Dan Hunt with five goals. The Spartans raced to a 3-1 lead after a well played first quarter in which the Cougars’ only goal came on a man up opportunity. The Spartans looked to be well on their way to the first win of the season after a disappointing 29-8 loss in the

CCC LAX MEN HOME SCHEDULE April 04 Onondaga CC 6:00 p.m. April 08 Alfred State College 6:00 p.m. April 16 Mercyhurst North East 3:00 p.m.

season opener vs. the Tribunes of Monroe Community College. The second quarter told a different story as the Cougars outscored the Spartans leading to a 3-3 halftime draw. The Cougars then went on to outscore the Spartans in the third quarter. The Spartans made a fourth quarter run but were eventually overcome by the scoring of the Cougars. Some of the keys to the Spartans disappointing loss were weak efforts on ground balls which led to a higher possession for the cougars, and a lack of backing up shots, which led to the Spartans having one shot on

goal and then the Cougars taking over possession for most of the game. High winds and freezing cold temperature could also have contributed to the Spartans loss. Some highlights to the game other than the performances of North and Hunt, were that the Spartans defense showed improvement from the first game of the season. Goalie Pat Cameron also played very well making several key saves that helped keep the Spartans in the game. “We’re still trying to get it together as a team and find a team rhythm” said starting Attack/

Midfielder Chris Stanton. The Spartans next game of the season is Wednesday March 26th vs. the Generals of Herkimer Community College. The Spartans are looking to avenge a 21-2 loss to the Generals from a season ago.

Trying to Rebuild Lady Spartan LAX By Andrew Brown, Staff Writer

As many of you may know by now, there is no Lady Spartan lacrosse team this spring. The reason? Not enough girls showed up. Problems started for the team when last season’s coach resigned. Without a coach in place there was no recruiting, so the team consists of returning players with a couple of new freshman. Unfortunately only three girls attended a lacrosse interest meeting organized by CCC’s athletic director Peter Liddell. What does this mean for the future

of CCC’s girls lacrosse program? CCC has had a girl’s lacrosse team since 2003. Many students wouldn’t like last year’s team to be the last one. Liddell says many things have to happen in order for a team to be fielded next year. “First we need to hire a coach,” says Liddell of the situation, “which hopefully will be done by the end of the month.” Once a coach is on the job their first task will be to start recruiting prospects to field a team. This task can pose a problem because

all of CCC’s coaches are part-time positions. “Because it’s part time, it’s hard to find a coach that is committed enough for the job, and the duties that come with it,” says Liddell, “It’s a guessing game to try and find that right coach.” There is some good news. Liddell says he has a couple coaching candidates he is interviewing for the job. He says if all goes according to plan, Cayuga Community College may be welcoming a new head girls’ lacrosse coach soon.
