“Johmarr Ogletree is a kid with a dream”
Dreams Come True When fire ripped through his family’s home earlier this year, Johmarr Ogletree feared his dreams of attending college might have also gone up in flames. The Corcoran High School graduate was an exemplary student and community member. He was the vice president of his class, active in his church, won a youth achievement award, and even enrolled in advanced classes at Syracuse University. Johmarr had started a college fund with money earned from waiting tables, and he had saved enough to attend SUNY Canton this fall. That changed after the fire. The Ogletree family was forced to move in with Johmarr’s grandmother. Shortly thereafter, that house Pages 8 & 9 was broken into and
several possessions were stolen. And when his father was forced to stop working because of a heart defect, the family was beginning to wonder about their future. Johmarr withdrew $1,000 from his college fund and gave it to his family, which includes his father, three brothers, and his mother Felicia, who works as a technician at Upstate Medical University. Johmarr’s actions inspired a school official to draw attention to his situation, and in continued on page 2

If distance running is about outlasting the competition, retired economics professor Nancy Auster doesn’t have much more to prove. She’s outlasted nearly everyone in her age group. With more than 30 years of daily running and more than 300 races to her credit, the 82-year-old Auster continues to amaze.She was recently the only runner in the 80- to 84-year-old age group in the USA Masters 5K Championship race in Syracuse and became a national champion when she completed the race in just over 40 minutes. “There was a time when I could go 26. Those days are gone,” she told a reporter from the Watertown Daily Times. Her advice: “Be committed to some kind of physical activity, find something you like to do and then go do it.”

Claire Timko ’08 was one of the many students who walked across the stage knowing that a job awaited her after commencement. Timko started her career at the Nassau County Police Department in Long Island after completing her senior-level internship with the agency. “I designed their Real Time Intel website, compiled robbery and burglary profiles for each probationer and parolee, and learned all about Homeland Security,” she said. Timko is also planning to continue her education in the Criminal Justice master’s degree program at John Jay College in New York City.

Dreams continued turn, prompted Columnist Dick Case to write about it in the Syracuse PostStandard. The article began, “Johmarr Ogletree is a kid with a dream.” The reaction to Case’s column was explosive and heartwarming.

try to make it possible for deserving students to attend SUNY Canton, live their dreams, and begin careers that transform their lives. We enable them to be successful when they might not have otherwise had the opportunity.” Now on campus, Johmarr has continued to be active, busy, and focused. He is a member of the Step Team, the Afro-Latin Society, and the Gospel Choir and has made numerous friends. He is currently enrolled in the Criminal Investigations program and wants to eventually study pre-law. After renovations and clean up, his family has moved back into their house, and the future is looking bright once again. “It’s nice to know that so many people care and are willing to help out,” said Johmarr. “Now I’m determined more than ever not to let anyone down.”

Flanagan an Orangeman When Syracuse University decided to begin a new NCAA Division I women’s ice hockey program, they turned to one of the most successful coaches in the nation to lead their team. Canton-native Paul Flanagan ’78 will be the head coach behind the Orange bench as the women’s team makes its debut this season. Over the last nine years, Flanagan led the St. Lawrence University women’s team to the NCAA Frozen Four five times, tying him for the most Frozen Four appearances in the country. His SLU tenure
included an overall record of 230-83-24 and four consecutive Final Four appearances from 2003 to 2007. While playing for the Canton ATC Northmen, Flanagan helped his team win the NJCAA National Championship in 1978. After graduation, he went on to play two more years at St. Lawrence University and eventually became an assistant coach for the Saints men’s team. Paul and his wife Sharon have three children: Shannon, Brendan, and Connor.
A Tradition of Full-Throttled Fun While the college may not have an official varsity racing team, a number of alumni and even a current student are carrying on a tradition of speed that started when Richard Woodley ’54 first got behind the wheel at the Canton Speedway. Woodley, a former SUNY Canton University Police Officer, started on the tracks when racing was just getting a foothold in Canton. Now, Brad Winters ’99, Zach Amo ’04, and Steven Planck ’10 are all well-known drivers at tracks across the North Country. The College Association has also become active on the local racing scene by sponsoring two racing series this year as well as Winters, Amo, and Planck. Each driver proudly emblazoned a SUNY Canton Racing logo on their ultra-fast vehicles. College Association Executive Director Michael J. Perry had the idea to bring the
college to the race tracks to help further promote the College’s name and mission. “I immediately saw the connection with our automotive technology and motorsports programs,” Perry said. “We know there are a lot of young men and women out there, like Steven Planck, involved in Dick Woodley ’54 drives to victory in 1969. these local racing programs first connections that the college had with and we have the academic programs that dirt tracks. Those connections will be carried match their interest.” on through the new generations of SUNY Winters noted that the school has made Canton Racing. an impact on racing fans and enthusiasts. “This has been a really unique and effective way to get the school noticed,” he said.

It’s Not a Secret Anymore SUNY Canton is experiencing remarkable growth in nearly every area, but there is one bothersome statistic that is progressing more slowly than others: alumni giving percentage. “We’re progressing, but not as quickly as we need to,” said Vice President David M. Gerlach ’83. “I’m convinced that our alumni are among the most loyal and dedicated in the SUNY system, and I’m determined to have our giving percentage reflect that.” The amount of total dollars in alumni giving has increased steadily in the past several years, and while the percentage of alumni giving has also grown, it’s been at a much slower pace. Currently, only 9 percent of alumni give back. “The giving percentage should be the easier number to bring up quickly because the

size of the gift doesn’t matter. Alumni can give any amount, even if it’s just $20, and it will make a difference,” said Gerlach. “We’re relying too much on a small number of incredibly generous alumni. We need to spread that responsibility and commitment across a broader base of alumni.” Ideally, Gerlach and his staff would like to see nearly 30 percent of alumni donating, but for now their goal is to reach 15 percent. “That’s an attainable percentage and the impact would be dramatic,” said Alumni/ Development Director Peggy Levato. “If 1,000 new donors stepped forward and gave
$20 to $50 each, that would be enough to start a new scholarship and enable a deserving person to transform their life with a SUNY Canton education.”
The Most Important Time to Give: Now Alumna Barbara “Bobbi” Burnham ’46 is hoping that her recent gift helps to show other alumni the importance of giving during a troubled economy. Burnham made a donation of more than $100,000 to the SUNY Canton Foundation in September to directly help current and future students defray the costs of attending college. “When the economy spirals downward, students are among those that are impacted the most,” said Burnham. “That’s why it’s so important to give now and make sure that qualified, hard-working students are able to pursue their dreams and aspirations.” The rising costs of education combined with massive SUNY budget cuts from New York State have magnified the problem dramatically. Students are also having trouble getting student loans as more and more banks are shutting down their student loan divisions. Nationwide, student loan requests are up 16 percent from last year, but fewer and fewer loans are available. It’s the latest example of how the Wall Street crisis is hurting many of those who are the farthest removed from New York’s financial district. “Instead of giving my money to the government in taxes and letting them decide where to invest it, I’ve decided where to invest it myself,” said Burnham. “The future and the well-being of our country depends on the education of our young people. And it’s even more rewarding and personal when you get the opportunity to directly meet the people you’re helping.”

Kennedy Plans Continued Growth Despite State Budget Cuts President Joseph L. Kennedy has called for innovation and thoughtful planning in order to overcome the state’s budget cuts to the SUNY System and SUNY Canton. At a faculty assembly earlier this semester, Kennedy said the College’s extraordinary growth and previous long-term planning will help SUNY Canton continue to thrive despite inevitable decreases in state support. Enrollment at the college is at an all-time high with more than 3,000 students this semester. “By expanding to four-year degrees, increasing our online abilities, and increasing our overall attendance, we’ve significantly decreased the pain that these cuts would have otherwise inflicted on us,” Kennedy said. “We’ll be able to use some of our current cash balances over the next couple of years to ease into a transition to the way we conduct business. We recognize the state’s current financial situation and we’re working to adjust to the new budget reality that exists statewide.” Kennedy stated that his two highest priorities regarding the budget were to not de-
crease the overall quality of students’ education and to not layoff any college employees. He has been meeting with groups of employees and listening to suggestions on how
to work smarter, more efficiently, and more environmentally proficient. He mentioned that the solution will be found through a variety of adjustments. Small changes will include things such as mowing less grass, plowing less snow, and resetting computer systems to maximize en-
Boom! 3,000-plus SUNY Canton’s Fall 2008 enrollment is the highest in the college’s 102-year history, surpassing 3,000 students for the first time. The previous headcount highpoint was during the 1975-76 academic year when 2,833 students were enrolled. Enrollment is up 10 percent from last year, 20 percent from four years ago, and more than 50 percent from the 1995-96 academic year, when there were a total of 2,013 students. There are currently 3,056 students enrolled this Fall. College officials cite a number of reasons for the explosive increase, including several new highly-popular bachelor’s degree programs, returning students staying for four years instead of two, more transfer students, more international students, and a huge class of more

than 1,300 new students. “We’re the fastest growing college in Northern New York,” said Director of Admissions Jonathan Kent. “The College has been progressing steadily since Dr. Kennedy took over 15 years ago, and lately it’s just been remarkable.”

ergy efficiency. Potential larger solutions may include shifting to a four-day class schedule as early as next semester, which would reduce energy costs and create personal savings for students and employees. “This is not a crisis, it’s a challenge,” said Kennedy. “We’ll have many solutions and they’ll come in all different sizes, but we are positioned to manage this situation successfully and should treat this as an opportunity to once again show why SUNY Canton is a leader in higher education.” SUNY Canton currently has more than 500 employees. Kennedy said that number will decrease over the next two years to adjust to the new budget reality, but it will likely happen through natural attrition such as retirements and relocations.

SUNY Faucher – Seven Sibling Alums Although a countless number of families have sent generations of students to SUNY Canton, the Faucher family likely holds the record for most siblings to attend. All seven of Irene and Lucien Faucher’s children attended the College: Joseph ’55, Rene ’56, Glenn ’65, Anna ’68, Donald ’69, Keith ’69, and Gilbert ’77. The Faucher family grew up on Elm Street in Canton, and all of the siblings graduated from Canton High School. Their parents used to rent rooms and an apartment to college students. The youngest of the siblings, Keith, recalled when he and his older brothers delivered newspapers for the Watertown Daily Times to the dorms, sorority, and fraternity houses and worked at the local pizza restaurant Zasa’s. Joseph ’55 retired from IBM in 1987 as a project manager. His education at Canton “absolutely” helped him prepare for his career. Joe said his fondest ATI memory is “meeting my future wife Inez Cook, who also graduated in 1955.” Joe recalled Professor Emeritus Dick Miller as being “really involved with his students.” Rene ’56 and his wife Theresa are retired and living in the Canton area. Rene worked
at the College from 1967 to 1997 as Director of Multimedia Services. Glenn ’65 recalled a summer job he held that got him involved with “planning of
the new campus, where I was able to utilize some of the drafting skills I was learning.” Glenn is now also retired from IBM and living in Cartersville, Ga., with his wife Carol. “The education I received at Canton gave me an advantage in my work with IBM,” he said. Rollo Wicks was among the faculty members he recalled fondly. Anna ’68, who earned a degree in Nursing, is working as a nurse practitioner and living in Rhode Island with her husband John.
Keith ’69 recently retired from the New York State Department of Transportation with 33 years of experience as a civil engineer. This past year, he was honored with the “2008 Engineer of the Year Award” by the New York State Association of Transportation Engineers for the Poughkeepsie Section. He has four grown children and 11 grandchildren. He and his wife Terri reside in Hyde Park. Similar to his brother Keith, Donald ’69 is now retired after 34 years with the DOT. Don married his high school sweetheart Connie Erwin ’69, who is also an ATC graduate. Don and Connie have two children, three grandchildren, and are currently living in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Gilbert ’77 and his wife Martha retired and then rejoined the workforce with RaceTrac, utilizing his Construction Technology degree. They are now living in Kennesaw, Ga. Irene is still in the Canton area, residing at Spicer’s Assisted Living Home. Lucien passed away in 1982. All of the Faucher children visit Irene as often as possible and together they celebrated her 95th birthday last year.
