Spartans Season Ends in Heartbreaking Fashion

Cayuga Community College’s student radio station, WDWN, is celebrating 40 years of being on the air this month. Station Manager Jeff Sczesniak says the first broadcast of the college’s non-commercial; education station was on October 31, 1971.

By D.J. DuVall, Sports Editor

The CCC Men’s soccer season ended Tuesday, October 25th, after falling short in their second playoff game. The first game was held at the Skaneateles high school, and the #6 seed Spartans defeated the #11 seed Niagara CC in a landslide victory. Jaime Carolissen led the team with an impressive five goals.

He also added two assists in the 9-1 routing of Niagara. CCC out shot their opponents 35-7, clearly proving they were the stronger team.

Then it was on to the semi-finals where Cayuga faced Mohawk Valley CC. With goals by Bruno Gaudieley of Brazil, and Muke Heri of Syracuse, the Spartans jumped out to an early 2-0 first half lead.

MVCC added to the score sheet and made it 2-1, then went on to force overtime with a controversial tying goal. Many eye witnesses noted that the ball never fully crossed the goal line, or even came close for that matter. Unfortunately

the referees saw otherwise, and Mohawk Valley added an overtime goal to complete the comeback, “We all take pride in the team’s accomplishment, Pete (Liddell), and offer our congratulations to the players and to Coach Wynne!

Their achievement this season has been excellent to see.”

-Daniel Larson, CCC President and end Cayuga’s season early.

The Spartans and Coach Wynne should be proud of their achievements, after a five year playoff drought. They started the season ranked 20th in the region, and finished it off with a very impressive 5th ranked team. The Spartans will look to continue their success next year, when 14 talented freshmen will hopefully be returning. Plus Coach Wynne will be busy this offseason, recruiting more players to join the impressive CCC squad.

WDWN Celebrates 40 Years

CAYUGABriefs Congratulations to Spartan men’s soccer player, Jaime Carolissen (Cape Town, South Africa), who was named NJCAA Region III Male Athlete of the Week for the week of October 17. Jaime had an Jaime Carolissen excellent week for the Spartan Men’s Soccer Team. He had a goal for the Spartans against Niagara Community College in the final regular season game. Then in the playoff game against Niagara again, he netted 5 goals, and had an assist to lead the Spartans to victory.

Vol. 60 Issue 4

Ryan McConnell and Mike Cappelletti are DJs at Cayuga Community College’s student radio station WDWN FM 89.1. The radio station is celebrating 40 years of broadcasting this semester.

“There was a previous celebration called College Radio Day and we are planning on a event that features a DJ and performer with students representing the station” said Sczesniak. The previous event, College Radio Day was a day of college radio stations uniting and sending a message. The message that was sent said radio stations make a difference in the music industry and cater to all styles.

WDWN is not a corporate radio station meaning that it’s not owned by anyone.

Students observed the anniversary by wearing T-shirts representing the station.

WDWN is a 3,000 watt station broadcasting at 89.1 on the FM band. The station’s signal can be picked up for miles around.

“Our signal travels about 30 miles to the west of Auburn,” said Sczesniak.”We also added a translator station in Fulton, which gets the city of Fulton and some of the surrounding areas of the city.”

Sczesniak says the format of the radio station is ‘college alternative.”

“Which basically boils down to, music that college students listen to,” he said. Students are allowed to play their own music on the station if they after the station go through a semester of full rotation. If students want to do their own show it has to be done on an evening basis.

Sczesniak says the station has gone through many transformations over the years including a switch to digital sound. He says even the way they receive music is changing.

“We still get CD’s, but within the next year or so they will become obsolete”. So the future will be digital downloads for just about everything. But vinyl, cassette and CD will always be there just like the case between video or film,” he said

You Can Help Make a Change!

In the last issue of The Collegian as you may know, I expressed my fear of driving though the student parking lot. I also went into detail as to where I felt most vulnerable when driving though places such as the back parking lot near the Telcom wing.

To my surprise, my voice was heard. Shortly after the issue hit the stands, I was being hunted down by the c a m p u s C h i e f P o l i c e Officer because of my article.

My first

thought was “Oh no, what did I do now?” but! It didn’t turn out like anything as I expected, seeing as I thought to be in trouble for whatever reason for publishing it.

However, he actually was hunting me down because he wanted my help to point out the areas I was specifically referring to in my article to have changed in the Spring!

It was that easy, I expressed my opinion and others agreed and a change was made for the better. Hopefully in the future I won’t be so afraid driving though the parking lot, but it just shows how someone such as you or myself can make a change!

Questioning the Gym Policy: Students Want to Work Out I am a full time college student, I have four jobs, and hardly any free time. I’m sure everyone’s heard of the “freshman fifteen” well, I was determined to never let this happen to me. For the past five years I spent most of my afternoons running and using fitness equipment for two to three hours daily having been on the track team in high school. Well that changed when I entered college. I no longer had this precious time to work out nor the cash to spend on a Y membership to help me stay in shape. Yes, I would still make time for runs at night or early in the morning but I needed more. I needed the help of a weight room like back in high school, so I figured I would try to get a workout buddy to use the Auburns CCC’s fitness center, but apparently that’s no good either. I guess it’s only allowed to be used for a specific gym

class, but why!? I pay out of pocket to go to a community college where I can’t even use the gym? Nonsense I say!

I think if I was trusted and capable of using a fitness center in high school, I should be allowed to use one I pay for in college. It only makes sense to let it be open to the college, not everyone, such as myself, has the time to commit the 40 or 50 hours needed to take the gym course and I certainly don’t need another gym credit. All I want is to be able to work out once or twice a week when it’s convenient for my schedule. So my question is—is there anyway to let the average student use this equipment without being in a gym class? By doing something like open gym hours or anything at all would really be a great improvement in my eyes and my workout.

Reverend Helps Community

By Jesse Malone, Contributing Writer We all would like to help out our community, we all would like to make a difference; but how many of us actually do? It is one thing to say we should help people out in rough times, but actually dedicating the time and resources needed for it, is another thing entirely. Some people though do make the necessary sacrifices to help out their communities. One such man is the Rev. Patrick Malone.

Much More than a Community Center

By Michelle Faulk, Contributing Writer Booker T. Washington, on Chapman Avenue, is a community center that is open to the public. For years they have offered before school programs, after school programs, summer programs, sports, and health insurance for residents of the county.

Booker T. Washington’s mission is to provide services to assist the community in promoting civil liberties, justice and equality without regard to race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual preference, religion, disability, or socio-economic status by offering families and individuals recreational, educational, developmental, and cultural programs for all ages. They were founded in 1927 and their motto is ‘creating tomorrow’s leaders today!’

This non-profit organization also holds Bingo games at 7 p.m. on Thursdays. After school programs for Auburn High, Auburn Junior High, and the elementary schools started on September 19th. The programs have much to offer, such as sports, field trips, cooking, crafts, and meeting new people.

Recently, Booker T. Washington was donated $3,500 of trees, plants, and shrubs to decorate the front of the building. Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES students have come to help with the project. The center is also planning for their yearly Disney World trip holding its first meeting October 26th.

In November they will hold their annual community Thanksgiving dinner and begin college tour meetings.

Just back on August 27th, Booker

T. Washington gave away school supplies for the children, ranging from grades K-12, in the community.

Large numbers of families and children were at the event.

“It was phenomenal,” executive director Monique Wright Williams said about the event.

“We gave out a lot of stuff.”

Before becoming executive director at Booker T. Washington, Williams was a director at another program in Syracuse. Working there first has helped her with her position at Booker T. Washington.

“I learned a lot about programs and staff management,” she said.

Today Booker T. Washington faces some challenges that are common among non-profit organizations. One of their major problems is funding and not having enough money to provide for needed services.

Another issue is not being able to provide more training for the staff workers. But Williams says “More grants are being given.”

Booker T. Washington has future hopes for expansion.Williams says that she would like to change the physical setting of the place and building.

The center has had positive effects on the community.

“We have parents becoming more involved.

Children are improving with their school work and enjoying it,” Williams said.

“What I like the most is seeing the change in children and families year to year. I like giving people experiences.

Best experiences are the best,” Williams said.

He has been running a Bible study group out of his home for over a decade now, and has either ran or had a hand in running one for more than 20 years. Not only does he take the time to teach the Bible to people every week, but he also makes everyone involved feel like a part of his immediate family.

It seems as if no request is too big or small for him to help out with. He has taken many people into his own home for long periods of time and

received nothing in return, just to help them out. On top of all of this, he is also personally involved in many organizations, including ones to help people in developing nations get schools and access to the Bible.

When asked why he takes time to do all of this, Patrick responded by saying; “My whole life I have tried my hardest to fix a problem when I see that one exists.” He went on to say; “I searched for the answers in secular education, and while I was in college I found that answer. But not in the material that they were teaching but rather in the Bible. Once I read the Bible and saw what it had to offer, I dedicated my whole life to teaching people God’s word. I believe that through God’s word is the only true solution to people’s problems that I have ever come across.”

People often complain that nobody ever really does anything to help people, that everyone turns away from their fellow man when they are in need, but this isn’t true.

However, in life it all comes down to where you look, because some people out there really do just want to help people, like Rev. Patrick Malone.

When he was asked if he ever planned on stopping what he does, he just smiled and said; “No.” Patrick feels our actions don’t just happen, but rather they leave ripples though out our world. What one person may do might not be seen by everyone, but what those actions lead to just might end up making this world, even slightly, a better place to live.

Local Business Owner Has More On His Mind Than Just Food

By Joseph Mungo, Contributing Writer Joe Marone, the owner of Joe’s Hots in Geneva, has the youth of the town in mind. In an interview he shared his personal goals and aspirations. For roughly two years his restaurant has become a staple in Geneva. The restaurant draws crowds of all ages to come and feast on some of the tastiest food Geneva has to offer. They serve great burgers and hot dogs at fair prices and nice sized portions with “trash plates” as their specialty. But Joe is into more than just whipping up a delicious meal of two different sides and two big pieces of meat with toppings into a box. He strives to reach out within the community.

He has his hands in The Day for Kids, which he sponsors along with the Boys and Girls Club. It is a day for children to get together outside and have a good time and, of course, enjoy good food.

Marone is also very much interested in the local skateboarding scene. In addition, he sponsors the local film festival that allows local artists to show off their projects. Joe says, “The main goal is to enrich the lives of the kids in this town.” All of the activities he gets involved in have a common theme, youth.

He also uses his business to raise awareness about hydrofracking. He says that to them (he and his wife Erin, who helps him run his restaurant) “Fracking is

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

NO GOOD!” He also has his hands in the P.A.W.S. program at the local middle school. This is a program that promotes good behavior between adolescents. For every good act that is recognized by faculty at the school a student is rewarded a gift card for Joe’s Hots. On another note he also help create the outline and design for the Frisbee Disc Golf park that will be finished in the spring of 2012 at Seneca Lake Park.

His main goal however, is to create a 1,000 square foot skate park that would be free to use. One of Joe’s passions is skateboarding, he finds that his town did not do a very good job putting something together for the kids who skate.

Since he opened his restaurant, Joe has had a jar on his counter that goes directly to creating that park. “I want a place for kids to go to skate, not just a mini ramp and two rails,” he says. He also wants to incorporate art into the park. He says that it is more than just a skate park but more like an epicenter for the younger generation.

As for expanding, he wants to stay local but expand the name of Joe’s Hots. All in all Joe has been a great addition to the local economic circuit. Whether it is pumping out the tastiest plates this side of Rochester of helping along the positive movement of Geneva youth, Joe Marone is on the right track.

Mason Always on the Move, and Running, for Charities

By Andy Schemerhorn, Contributing Writer If you are part of Mason and Grant Air Handling, Inc.’s small but loyal customer base, then odds are you haven’t just been paying to have furnace or AC repairs; you’ve also been indirectly supporting charities.

Wayne Mason, owner of Mason and Grant, has always tried to give his customers the very best, making sure his employees are highly specialized and knowledgeable, but he also tries to give the community his very best.

“People shouldn’t have their reason for existing to be to take up space, and I don’t want to use the resources I have to just take up space,” says Mr. Mason. Instead, Mason uses his time in the fall to organize two charity races, The Labor Day Classic and the Thanksgiving Day Run. Wayne took over the Labor Day Classic from the YMCA “roughly 6 or 7 years ago.”

“I had always wanted to run a race in that time frame; it’s just the perfect set of circumstances, with the long weekend and mild weather.

But I didn’t want to run one while the Y was running one and force people to choose between the two,” Mason says. Once the Y decided to stop organizing it and offered the time frame to him, Mason decided to turn it into a benefit run for the Auburn Modified and Varsity Cross Country programs, due to his son’s involvement in the teams. The event requires things like flyers, shirts, a few trophies, and other such bare requirements, but it is not paid for by the athletes participating.

“That’s all out of the goodness of my heart, more or less,” Mr. Mason said with a smile. Instead, the relatively small $10 dollar entry fee goes straight to the Cross Country programs. “It isn’t a huge amount, but since the sport only needs buses, it’s a sizable donation to their budget.”

The other event Wayne organizes is The Thanksgiving Run. It evolved from ex-Auburn coach Al Wilson’s Turkey Trot, a much more competitive race. When Wilson went to the Middle East, the race didn’t exist for a year. Mr. Mason realized the next year that “there was no one to pick up the pieces but me.” During the Thanksgiving season, The Citizen supports the Warm the Children charity. Like with the Labor Day Classic, rather than divide support for charities, Mason decided to send the proceeds there. But that wasn’t the only thing Wayne changed.

“The race used to be in the middle of the countryside and the wind would leave people huddled together trying to stay warm. So I moved the starting line to my house, and I will tell people waiting outside ‘Hey, come on inside and have some coffee and a bagel’. I also don’t have any entry fee; the donation to charity is completely optional.”

Also, Mason says “It can be a great family event. If Dad wants to go on a run, and Mom needs to cook, Dad can take the kids with him and they can either trot along with Dad or have somebody watch them inside.”

“As far as I know, we’re the only race that’s anything like this. But it’s for a good cause, and it feels good to buy someone a cup of coffee on a cold day.”

Though business and weather keeps him occupied the rest of the year, and he has no new plans written down, Mr. Mason is still seen as a kind-hearted and dedicated member of the community. To him, taking up space simply isn’t an option.

“It’s not too difficult to help out. It all comes down to knowing your limits, and knowing how to stretch them too.”

The Schweinfurth Arts Center: A Great Place to Find Your Inner Artist

By Michael Brosch, Contributing Writer If you have not visited The Swcheinfurth Arts Center, you should. Located at 205 Genesee street right here in Auburn, It is only a couple miles from the Cayuga Community College campus. Upon entering the arts center you will find it is a kind, warm welcoming place. There is a suggested donation of $6 to take a tour, if you tell them you are a broke college student they will understand. Of course what’s a couple of dollars to support a great institution that provides many great programs for the Auburn community?

The arts center has a wide range of workshops for adults, after school programs for children, and family art making instructional programs. Currently the center is exhibiting two dynamic artists from the upstate New York area, with a gallery full

Learn More about the CCC Foundation

By Joshua Darling, Contributing Writer Scholarships, grants for students/ faculty, and college funding, where does all this sort of funding come from that is provided by Cayuga Community College? The answeran organization that is located right in the main building called the CCC Foundation. This organization gets most of its funding from the students, staff, and alumni, who organize fund raisers for everything.

The rest of the funding for the CCC Foundation comes from private donations from people such as alumni, parents, faculty, staff, businesses, other foundations, board members, trustees, organizations and members of the community.

The mission of the CCC Foundation is to enhance and provide assistance for educational and other related programs of Cayuga Community College.

The Foundation is always looking for ways to expand and achieve the growth of the college experience in the student’s perspective.

In charge of this organization is Executive Director Mr. Jeffery Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman is in control of what grants/scholarships that are given out and received. He is not the

PAGE FOUR

Jeff Hoffman CCC Foundation Executive Director one who chooses the students that are eligible for the grant/scholarship.

Every different department at Cayuga Community College has its own faculty that selects what students will receive the scholarship for that specific department.

In the last four years, the CCC Foundation has given out around 300,000 dollars just for faculty projects alone. Mainly for

faculty that are trying to become entrepreneurs on top of teaching.

The Foundation is really excited about all of the entrepreneurship grants that they will be giving out this year. The size of the scholarships/ grants that the Foundation gives out can range anywhere from 100 dollars to a full tuition paid off.

All depending on what program you are in and how well you excel in that specific program. There are also many scholarships that students can apply for and receive that will help them out that much more. Some students have benefitted dramatically from this organization through the college.

“We are really proud of our alumni!” said Mr. Hoffman. “The Alumni of Cayuga Community College really help with donations and fundraising.”

The Cayuga Community College Foundation is really a good way for students to get some serious money when it comes to paying for college, books, room and board, etc. This college would not be where it is today if it wasn’t for organizations like this that help students pay and get through their college experience.

of beautiful outdoor landscapes, interiors, and portraits.

Chris Baker; from Weedsport, NY and Harry Bliss; from Pittsford, NY are the featured artists in the current exhibit, each bringing their own peaceful calm to the exhibition, named Quietude; for the state of stillness or calm they reflect in their artwork.

Chris Baker paints primarily in gouache; a term C.C.C. art students should be familiar with, it is a form of opaque watercolor.

Baker, through his paintings, tries to inspire the viewer to see the visual richness of common settings. As he explains “I try to engage the viewer to look more closely, listening for the “whispers” contained in the subtle passages of my painting.”

Along with a few of Chris’s paintings are charcoal studies he sketched before painting a few of his works on display, which gives the visitor a first hand look at what goes into a finished painting.

Harry Bliss is known nationally for his award-winning paintings and illustrations for National Geographic and The New Yorker magazines. His work depicts extraordinary landscapes, interiors, and a series of amazing portraits done with pencil. His work is calming and meditative encouraging the viewer to consider the smallest of details in carefully composed works of art. Bliss has stated, “Learning art is learning to see.”

Running now through January 8, 2012 is the exhibition named, Quilts=Art=Quilts, which the 31st annual juried quilt show. Being one of the centers proudest and longest running exhibitions, the arts center has long recognized the importance of quilts as a visual medium.

Judging from the brochure it looks to be a major visual change from what one commonly thinks of when considering quilts.

Upon visitingThe Schweinfurth Arts Center if one is not overcome with calmness, you may want to have your head examined. The staff is every bit of gracious, and the setting could not be out done, from the beautiful building you see outside to the amazing visual impact presented within, definitely worth the time to visit.

March of Dimes Marathon

By Christina Lupien, Contributing Writer On June 6, 2007, the lullaby at Crouse Memorial Hospital played for Teagan Jade Poole.

Unfortunately, little Teagan never took her first breath. She had stopped growing at fifteen weeks in her mother’s womb. Teagan’s mother, Jennifer Poole, is now avidly raising funds to participate in a marathon for the March of Dimes.

On November 6, 2011, Jennifer will be traveling to run in the 26.2 mile ING New York City marathon.

This is the first year Jennifer will be running in the marathon as a sponsored runner. She has been running with the marathon for the last four years. Her goal is to raise $2,500 for the March of Dimes.

Jennifer also recently participated in a 20K marathon in Walt Disney World earlier this year to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

On the race day, Jennifer will be wearing a shirt sporting purple memorial ribbons made available to anyone “who would like to remember, honor and or celebrate the life of a baby.” Each of these ribbons will be attached to her daughter’s race shirt and will accompany her in the race. Ribbons will be available at all of the events they attend leading up to the race day. They currently have 49 ribbons.

Jennifer and her husband, Travis Poole, recently attended the Auburn Memorial Hospital Heart Expo to try to raise money toward the New York City Marathon. They will also have a table at the Run 4 Life 2nd annual Trick ‘R Trot at Emerson Park in Owasco. Registration for the Trick ‘R Trot event will begin at 10:30 a.m. and the event will run through the afternoon. Jennifer and Travis will also be at the first annual Cardio KickBox-A-Thon, which Travis is helping organize, at Shogun Martial Arts at 202 Grant Ave in Auburn.

The KickBox-A-Thon will be

held from noon until 2 p.m. and will include martial arts demonstrations, workouts with Shogun Warriors, March of Dimes merchandise, purple fused hair extensions, door prizes and raffles. Admission for this even is $10 and the proceeds will go to the March of Dimes.

Jennifer said her main goal through all of this is “just to make people more aware. Unless you’ve had that experience, you don’t know.”

She is very interested in seeing more done with the Central New York March of Dimes Foundation, maybe a Teagan’s 5k? “I would like to see some more funding stay local to help with the programs that I used.”

The ING New York City Marathon is a 26.2 mile tour through the five boroughs of New York City.

It begins at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and finally finishes in Central Park in Manhattan.

Jennifer spoke highly of the Regional Perinatal Center, Dr Nosovitch, Dr. Bode, Crouse Hospital, and the CNY Perinatal & Infant Bereavement Network, who were all there for her when she was dealing with the loss of her daughter.

Since 2007, Jennifer and Travis have had two more children, a son, Torrin, and a daughter, Teadan.

“I just want Teagan’s little brother and sister to know about her.

I can run a marathon; I’m just not so great at fund-raising for one.”

SPARTAN SPORTS CCC Welcomes New Men’s Soccer Head Coach

By Mara Casler, Contributing Writer

Darren Wynne, an Ireland native, is proving to be a great asset to the soccer program here at Cayuga Community College. About three quarters of the way through the season, the men’s team held an impressive record of 9-3-2.

“I think the best way to motivate a team is reward… make everything they do in practice a competition… someone has to lose so they have to get punished,” says Wynne.

This strict strategy seems to work for the 2011 season.

Wynne has been playing soccer for 32 years on multiple levels and says that his relationship with soccer has brought him into his coaching career.

Wynne had an overall successful season from his student athletes. His number one rule for his players to abide by is “Go to class and respect the soccer program we are trying to build here at CCC.”

Carrie Lysik, who has been playing soccer since the age of five, is very excited to join the Spartans for the 2011 soccer season.

“There is nothing like doing what you love for a living,” says Lysik.

Cayuga Community College, along with members of the community are thrilled to welcome this new face to the school as well as the soccer field. Lysik says she tries to motivate a team through various methods. She prefers using songs, quotes, and poetry to help motivate the young women on the team but says “… at the end of the day players really need to be self-motivated, self-driven to do their best.”

“My number one rule, is to always work hard!” says Lysik.

So with a mentality like that on the sidelines, the Spartans have a coach that will work her team to their potential.

Syracuse Orange Stun West Virginia

By D.J. DuVall, Sports Editor The Syracuse Orange football team had an impressive victory Friday, October 21st, when they defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers 49-23. Syracuse came in with a 4-2 record, after some impressive wins, and disappointing losses. Friday night’s game was a primetime 8 p.m. kickoff at the Carrier Dome, against the heavily favored #11 ranked Mountaineers.

The game was broadcast nationally on ESPN, and the experts didn’t give the Orange a shot at winning. Syracuse decided to

take advantage of this national spotlight, and show their Big East rivals they had come to play.

S.U. jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when tight end Nick Provo caught a Ryan Nassib pass for a three yard touchdown. They never looked back from their quick start and cruised to an easy win. Nassib threw for 229 yards and 4 touchdowns, without a single interception. It was his most impressive game this season. Provo had 6 catches for 61 yards, and was on the receiving end of 3 Nassib touchdown passes. Antwon Bailey

led Syracuse’s rushing attack with 22 carries for 125 yards and a score.

S.U.’s special teams pitched in to the scoring fest when Dorian Graham took a West Virginia kick 98 yards in the second quarter to give the Cuse a 21-9 lead. It was an impressive win for Coach Doug Marrone, and the highest ranked opponent S.U. has defeated since #8 Virginia Tech back in 2002. The Orange will look to continue their successful season on the road with their next two games at Louisville, and at Connecticut.

Star Wars Saga DVD Release has Changes

By Alec Rider, Staff Writer

With the recent release of the Star Wars saga on Blu-ray discs, more changes to the beloved sci-fi series that broke ground in the special effects field of motion pictures have been met with monstrous

outcries from Star Wars fans.

When Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi were released in 1977, 1980, and 1983 respectively George Lucas always made it clear that he would be making three more Star Wars Phantom Menace in 1999; Lucas had the originals re-mastered on VHS in 1997. Lucas, unbeknownst to the fans, was about to put his hands all over the movies that had meant so much to their childhoods.

In a famous scene in the original Star Wars renamed A New Hope in order to create continuity for the coming saga, the anti-hero smuggler Han Solo is cornered by Greedo in the Mos Eisley cantina. There is a bounty on Solo’s head from Jabba the Hutt and as Greedo marinates in his success of catching the notorious smuggler Solo un-holsters his blaster and shoots Greedo under the table.

But in the 1997 re-master, Greedo fires at Solo and misses by a mile, and Solo returns fire killing Greedo. This bore the famous phrase “Han shot first” as a retort to Lucas’ change.

In the Blu-ray edition released last month, two significant scenes were changed the slightest bit, yet drew a hefty amount of ire from Star Wars fans. The first being a scene where Luke Skywalker is accosted by Tuskan raiders or “sand people” and Obi-Wan Kenobi comes

to his aid with a Krayt dragon call (sand people are quite afraid of the creature), in the Blu-ray edition the call is replaced by something resembling a high frequency feedback from a stereo system.

The other is when Emperor Palpatine is shooting Luke Skywalker with lightning; Darth Vader completes his good to bad to good journey by picking Palpatine up and throwing him down an energy core. In the 1983 Return of the Jedi this is done without words, in the Blu-ray release the grab and throw is supplemented with a “nooooooo”. Fans believe this dumbs down and ultimately spoils one of the greatest moments in the six film saga.

This is not the first time that changes to movies have been met with serious contention; memorable was the era of “colorizing” black and white movies in the 1980’s. Ted Turner was famous for “threatening” to colorize Orson Welle’s 1941 classic Citizen Kane creating a furor that can’t be compared. Turner later said that he only mentioned it to gauge the opinion of the public when it came to colorization by using an extreme example. But other classics were colorized, these included Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, and It’s a Wonderful Life. People had such a negative opinion of the colorization era that the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry that was created in response to the controversy had to put a disclaimer on a classic film if it were colorized.

If one thing can be learned from this it’s that movie fans don’t care how old the film is or if you want to add something. That specific movie may mean something to them, and they’ll be damned if it’s ruined for the sake of releasing an anniversary edition for an extra money injection. Unnecessary changes to a movie are not enjoyed by the fans, George Lucas and anyone else may want to stop while they’re ahead.

RANTS

Start Supporting Your School’s Teams My rant this week should hit close to home for many CCC students because it is aimed right at most of you!

As a Cayuga student, I have noticed the lack of support for all of our sports teams.

I understand this isn’t Penn State packing over 100,000 crazed fans into Beaver Stadium, but come on guys.

Some of you make be like me, and have quite a drive to and from school every day.

On the other hand, a large majority of CCC students either live at Lattimore Hall, or somewhere else here in Auburn. Sure we all have jobs and things to do and that’s understandable, but instead of sitting home bored, complaining about the lack of things to do in Auburn, come out and support your fellow classmates. The Soccer and Lacrosse teams have to travel even for home comes for the time being, but the Women’s Volleyball team, and both the basketball squads play right here in our gymnasium. Just put yourself in their shoes, wouldn’t it be more fun to play in front of a home crowd, isn’t that the whole idea for “home field advantage”. So quit wearing Cayuga Spartans gear, without ever witnessing a Spartans game. Just once is all I ask, who knows, you may have fun.

This is a quick granola snack recipe that my mom uses for my brothers as an after school snack, or an easy breakfast.

I tend to double it because the bars go fast and they are so simple to make. You don’t even need to heat the oven!

INGREDIENTS • 2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal • 2 cups quick-cooking oats • 1/2 cup raisins • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar • 1/2 cup light corn syrup • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

with Kate

Morley

DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, stir together the rice cereal, oats, and raisins. Set aside.

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Combine the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat just until boiling, then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cereal and oat mixture, and mix well.

3. Press into the prepared pan using the back of a large spoon. Allow to cool, then cut into squares.
