The people I just hinted to are Winston Churchill, Woodrow Wilson, Albert Einstein, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, and myself among others. Some people might be saying, "What is dyslexia?". There are others who might be saying, "I know what dyslexia is." Well, to the first group, I will teach you what it is and for the second group, you are wrong. You don't know what dyslexia is. You just know what you have read or heard about it. The only person who truly knows what dyslexia is, is some one who has it. Webster's dictionary defines dyslexia: 'an impairment of the ability to read due to a brain defect.' As you may know, we live in a society where the tendency exists that if someone has a brain defect to classify them as retarded. If I were given the chance, I would define dyslexia as an impairment of the computation processes to which one can not express what they are thinking into a logical written form and have trouble in reading written information all because of a crossing of the nerves that interpret information as it comes into the brain. What is it like being dyslexic? One quick and easy way to tell you how it is. Try to memorize a complete unabridged dictionary of your choice. When you are done with that, try spelling the words using only their pronunciations as a guide. Now you have to learn to spell the words in a language that everyone else uses. One that is not totally coherent to you. Personally, it is hell to have dyslexia. There are certain things that will always frustrate me, like trying to read a college leave book or even write a college term paper without using elementary school words. Other problems that I have are trying to explain to professors that I have dyslexia and not have them see me as an idiot. Also, there are the people who look at something that you have written and see a misspelled word that they feel everyone should know how to spell and call you an idiot. It is not you who is the idiot, it is the person who called you that, who is an idiot. Although, you know that your not an idiot, you can hear from the back of your head for the rest of the day and some- times for a couple of days thereafter, those words. But you have to move on and try to do better with your spelling, but in the end, that probably was your best and once again you hear that voice saying "Your an idiot!" So, to all the people that have ever called someone an idiot, I would like to thank you for ruining someone's day or even week. What is it like to have a dyslexic son? You have a person who is very bright, who, when he goes to write something down on paper, doesn't write the something he has been thinking about on the paper but something else. What was explained to me was somewhere between his brain and his hand the signal is changed or even the wrong signal is sent. Also, there are times when he will just transpose two letters and think they are in the right place because that is the way he sees the,. Another explanation for this is that he sees things backwards, upside-down or even both. He will do a lot of his homework or papers out loud to try and not make a mistake or write down the wrong word. The hard part of the whole thing is dyslexic will know the right answer but write down something else and get very upset about it. There have been times when he has come home after taking a test and feel that he had aced the test and find out a couple of days later that he failed because of stupid mistakes or spelling errors. A person with dyslexia needs help from people who are teaching them by printing, not writing, by not crowding things on the black board as they all will run together in the mind of a dyslexic. One of the biggest problems on campus today is that there are people that just think they are 'lazy spellers’, but really they have a problem that they are not aware of. Every time they write a paper they have to take it to someone else to rewrite it so they don't look like an idiot. That is just covering up a large problem that needs to be addressed. If this is happening to you, please get some help by talking to a professor or counselor that you can trust. Other signs of dyslexia include having trouble with letters like M's and N's. You get your b's confused with your d's and don't forget your p's as well. It has been found that people with dyslexia have an above average intelligence. If you don't believe that, all you have to remember is that Albert Einstein, the father of modem physics and Leonardo da Vinci, noted painter, were dyslexic.

Interns Join Career Development Center for Spring, 2 • The Crier » January 15, 1996 CCC is a Testing Center for Regent’s College —by Nancy Andrews Coming Community College is a testing center for Regents College. Regents College offers Bachelor degrees in Liberal Arts, Business, Technology, and Nursing. Having a testing center at Coming Community College is mutually beneficial for Regents College and CCC. Coming has over 800 students pursuing Regents College as Thu rsday/Friday April 11-12, 1996 June 6-7, 1996 August 1-2, 1996 an option toward their baccalaureate degrees. The testing center affords Coming Community College students the opportunity to complete upper level courses. Over 38 exams are offered in Liberal Arts, Business, and Nursing. The Spring , 1996 schedule is as follows, with the testing date followed by the postmarked deadline. Friday Feb.23, 1996 April 26, 1996 June 21,1996 Snow Day Procedures —by Jack Kelly The College's Snow Day Policy has been instituted because we care about the safety of our students and staff. We realize that many of our students have not had much experience driving on snowy or icy roads and we want to minimize dangerous driving situations. Predicting road conditions in our three county region, unfortunately, leaves a large margin of error. We hope, however, that our education which prepares us intellectually for life's realities, includes the readiness to be responsible for our own safety. In case of inclement weather, deemed sufficiently dangerous to interrupt College operations, radio and television announcers will be asked to make one of the following announcements: 1. "The College is Closed." When this announcement is made, the entire institution is closed, and no one, except snow removal crews, is expected to travel to the campus. Time cards and attendance reports are to show this as a "snow day" in the proper column, and the time should be added to the time worked. 2. Depending on circumstances, there may be another message, such as: "All 8:00 and 9:00 Classes are Canceled. Classes will begin at 10:00." Similar messages will be called in regarding evening class cancellations. Any day or evening class, scheduled in public school buildings, will be canceled if that school district closes its schools. Procedures to evacuate campus if inclement weather occurs during the day will be initiated as follows: Directions to leave campus will come in writing from the administrator Response to Death or Other Severe Loss —by Chris Hosley The sudden, traumatic death of someone you know or someone in your community may produce many kinds of eelings. These feelings are part of the normal grieving process, are usually temporary, and generally lessen with time. You or your friends may experience one or more of the following: shock, numbness, fear for your own safety, denial that the loss occurred, physical discomfort, sleeping pattern changes, guilt, inability to concentrate, anxiety, worry, sadness, cry ing, appetite changes physical exhaustion, despair, thinking about past losses/death, coping with grief forgetfulness. Experience your feeling, if not done now, healing may take longer. Pay attention to diet, exercise, and substance abuse. Talk to people about your feelings. Be with friends and family that you care about - don't let yourself become isolated. Ask for support from friends, family, and campus staff available to help. Attend memorial services and/or set up your own ritual with other individuals. If your symptoms persist, cause you excessive discomfort, or increase over time, you may want to seek professional assistance. Contact counselors at ext. 434. Academic Advising Services at Corning in charge who will state at what time classes will be canceled. Students and staff are cautioned to remain on campus until they are notified that Spencer Hill is safe for travel. Notification will be given in writing to division secretaries who will post signs on all building doors. The College FM radio station, WCEB (91.9 on FM dial) will be notified of current Spencer Hill road conditions and campus evacuation decisions to enhance safe exit from Spencer Hill. It is recommended that the main Spencer Hill route be used to exit the campus. That route is the one that gets the plowing and sanding priority from campus and county crews. Powderhouse Road and Bailey Creek Roads are generally in poor condition during snow evacuation time frames. In the event that the College must close in the middle of the day, students with disabilities who are dependent upon public transportation and are unable to get home should go to the Public Safety Office or contact that office for assistance. Campus Public Safety Department, when weather conditions dictate, will work the New York State Police and the Coming City Police Department controlling access to Spencer Hill. The Business Development Center on Denison Parkway is not affected by any College closing announcements. It will remained open even if the College is closed. In all instances, it is important to note that the College makes its decisions on the basis of general road conditions, with special emphasis on the Spencer Hill Road. Each traveler has to take the responsibility over his or her decision regarding driving safety. —by Liz Lambert You have a number of options when seeking help from an academic advisor. Your first option is to call the advisor assigned to you. He or she will give the most assistance over a long period of time in making academic plans and decisions. "All students (full and part-time) who are matriculated have been assigned an official college advisor. The name of the advisor is listed on the student's class schedule, which is mailed out by the Registrar's Office. A student can also find out who his or her advisor is by calling the Academic Information Center." If a student has difficulty making contact with his or her assigned advisor, then the following options listed below are available: 1) Academic Information Center: The staff will arrange an advising or counseling appointment for any student who phones. Many students prefer to meet their needs over the phone, speaking directly to an advisor. Others prefer to schedule in-person appointments. 2) Evening Appointments: Late afternoon and evening appointments are possible throughout the year. Wednesday evenings have been the focus of services for evening students, but appointments on other evenings are also available. In addition, a group of advisors will visit Elmira Free Academy, Waverly and Bath sites once each semester. 3) Advising Phonathon: Several times a year, students may call during a scheduled ADVISING PHONATHON and receive immediate services from an experienced advisor. Watch your local newspapers for days and times. This program has been particularly popular with evening students. 4) Advising on the Internet: E-mail us at "advise@scccvc.coming-cc.edu"; an advisor will work with you through e-mail. 5) Evening Representatives at Off-Campus Sites: These representatives can respond to many general academic or advising questions or make referrals to offices to get additional help. The Academic Information Center is located in the Commons, room U206. They can also be reached by phone at (607) 962-9434 or 1-800-358-7171, ext. 434. The staff at the Academic Information Center can help you get an advisor, locate your advisor, or change your advisor. In addition, all advising questions are responded to directly or through referral to the appropriate person. Here is a list of counselors available through the A.I.C.: Bob Conrad - Science Building, room S114 or ext. 213. Ron Hofsess - Commons Building, room U211 or ext. 419 Chris Hosley - Classroom Building, room C201C or ext. 351 Ned Strauser - Nursing Building, room N326 or ext. 215.

Dear R.C., Generally speaking, fees at Planned Parenthood are set at about half what the same service would cost at a private office. In addition to that, our patients can choose to bring proof of income and be fee screened to see if they fall into a lower paying category on our fee scale. Some people may even fall into a "no pay” category. Planned Parenthood also accepts some insurances and New York State Medicaid. If a patient owes a fee for services but cannot pay in full, we can negotiate a payment plan to pay the balance over time. We never want anyone to go without needed care because of financial concerns! We have no requirements regarding age or parental consent. We do not want to create any barriers between people and needed health care services. We do welcome and encourage involvement of parents and significant others, and we do ask if we can help with 80- I m r people, but especially the very young, need to feel safe to come in and talk to a nurse or counselor, and to get information, health care, and contraceptive protection, if they are at risk. Planned Parenthood does not share any information about a patient without explicit consent. Reports that we are required to make to the State about HIV test, reportable disease and the like, are only in the form of statistics! In fact, one of the chief complaints we hear is about the difficulty involved in getting us to give information to a parent, counselor or other party without being sure our patient has consented! Although we may be making changes in the near future, currently our medical services (physical exams, test for infections and diseases) are just for women. Males do come in for counseling services, contraceptive supplies and help with term papers...and they are most welcome! I guess our only requirement is that you call ahead for an appointment, so that we can give you our full attention and best service. Stay healthy! Maggie communications and relationships. All Dear CCC Students, Tis the season for New Year's resolutions.

Snowdate-2/29. 6 • The Crier » January 15, 1996 The Tyranny's Revenge It has been sixteen years since the fall of the evil galactic tyranny, and the evil minister of defenses, Scourge Gun Ra has developed a new plan to return power to the Tyranny. In hopes to protect the Tyranny's new project from the Realm, they had to find the perfect location, where they wouldn't have to worry about the Realm discovering them. With a small troop of DOD's in the new scout uniforms that the Realm would not recognize Scouge Gun Ra set up cover as owner of a bar/brothel on the planet Terror. From there he could oversee the progress on the new project, and be within range to defend the training secret training complex. On the thirteenth moon of Terror directly over the bar Scouge directed his operations from, was the location of the new project. Three squadrons of DOD’s were on this moon, along with four WarZogs always or bitting. Each of the WarZogs carried two squadrons of SAC's and land combat vehicles, alone with a squadron of DOD's. A Realm spy was found in the bar and sent out a message to the Realm telling of Scouges presence on Terror before DOD's cut him down with blaster fire. Sent in from the Galaxies new rulers, The Realm of Oppression, are to great warriors and fighter pilots, Ler Daxon and Blaster Bob QwiLo, and might I add impartially for all you beautiful young coeds, that Blaster Boblo is also quite a handsome and intelligent single gent. To find more about dating him please forward a photo application with a five dollar application fee to the Crier office. On the planet of Terror, the Evil Scouge Gun Ra is looking upon his most recent shipment Zarloid, the beefed up form of Orgasmo, and corrupter of single dames. This shipment was almost totally presold so Scouge Gun Ra is most pleased that the Tyranny scouts finally delivered his shipment properly, there were few Tyranny warriors left and if he had to kill many more for botching up his orders there would be no more Tyranny to return power to. Back at the Extrondal System Beerguz Ler was pulling his ship out of hyperdrive to stop at the Galatially famous bar on Death Zone Seven where they served the greatest beer in the galaxy. Little did they know that the Tyranny's new heavily guarded training complex was down there. Blaster was back in the •deionization chamber with his MechBot 90510-CDW. They were analyzing the data sent to them by the new governments Minister of Sexual Relations, Puun Ta, a beautiful queen from long since Tyranny destroyed planet Brothelland. In hopes to find a new peace under the Realm's control she felt that it was only fitting that Blaster should use his great gift of dealing with people to end sexual discrimination to make a better galaxy. Blaster felt the ship pull out of hyperdrive as his head banged into the deionization turbin, knocking him into a stupor of great pangs in his head. "Damn You Ler, you jerkyl pogue, Why are we stopping?" Blaster screamed, "I have to study for my Calculus exam put this ship back into hyperdrive now!" "Dude man I'm stopping for some beer at the pub, you can study there" Ler replied. "Cool" Blaster said, after all, he only wanted to pass Calculus so he wouldn't have to take it for a seventh time and he could finally finish his Noctal warrior training. Soon they were landed in their personal hangar they had ever since there gun running days when they were the Galatial Tag Team Champions of the Beat Down Federation. "Hey aren't you Blaster and Wuss Guz Ler"The surly bartender replied. With a quick boot to the gut and a fist upside the surly bar keeps head he answered, "The name is Daxon, Ler Daxon." As the surly bartender hit the floor, black antiquasic energy blasts roared over head. With evil doers falling wherever they were struck, a troop of DOD's stormed in. Blaster and Ler were on the floor taking cover from the lethal blasts swinging over head. Blaster reached down and drew his famous Noctal NX-7031 custom blaster that he got his name from. Checking to make sure that the crystal ion core was firmly intact and taking the safety off, Blaster Bob QwiLo rose up and leveled the three deadly barrels to the approaching DOD's. Black bolts of death energy ripped from the triple blaster as Ler jumped to his feet and dove over the bar. Six DOD's fell dead with there black armor shattered all around. Each blast from Blaster Bob's blaster took out two of the Tyranny's Deliverers Of Death sending armor exploding into the air. Ler was over the bar and quickly gripped the programming pads for the kegerator bots, sending them to the Gingrinch, the shuttle that would take him and Blaster Bob to the far off planet Terror to find what the Tyranny was doing there. Blaster Bob fired six more shots taking out the remaining Tyranny troopers and left meeting Ler outside. By the sound of pneumatic lifters they could tell that the reinforcements would soon be there. They ran to there hangar bay that the Gingrinch was waiting for them in. Behind them the DOD's entered the bar on a seek and obliterate mission, knowing that the two Noctal Warriors had to have been sent out by the new Realm. They killed every evil doer in sight, hoping that the Noctal Warriors wouldn't be able to report back to the Realm of the location of their secret training complex. As they reached the ship Blaster Bob QwiLo stopped and let out an angered scream of rage. "What is it?" Ler asked wondering what his smarter, better looking and stronger friend was hyper coloastimating about now. "I left my Calculus DataPad in the Pub. I gotta go back." Blaster answered. "Are you nuts, that place is filled with DOD's by now. You'll be maggot mash." Ler said. "Shut your mouth, or I'll make you maggot mash you punk. Now get in the ship and hit the prelim systems, I'll be back in three clicks." Blaster Bob said as he took off back toward the pub. Upon reaching the door he seen the armored DOD's searching for them. As he looked over to where he was sitting just moments ago he found the Data Pad. As he walked over to pick it up a blaster bolt erupted and barely missed his head. "What the Hell is your problem? I'll make you swallow a blast if you shoot that thing at me again." Blaster Bob said picking up his data pad. As he turned to leave the DOD fired another blast at him. Blaster Bob turned and charged the arrogant little punk. Drawing his Triple Blaster and shoving all three barrel's into the punks mouth shattering the armored face mask, he fired the triple blaster, leaving nothing but a black ash where the DOD once stood. Seeing that his raging had drawn the other DOD's attention he dove through the door and started running to the ship. The other DOD's followed firing into the dark hoping to hit Blaster Bob, but Bob Lo had his Noctal training to keep him out of danger. As he reached the ship Ler was drinking one of the galaxy famous beers that he so kindly took. When Blaster came through the door, he started to warm the ship up. "What the hell is your problem Ler, I told you to get this thing warmed up when I went back. Holy heinous hell spawns, there are two troops chasing me, get this thing going." Blaster Bob screamed at his incompetent sidekick. Just as the DOD's arrived at the Gingrinch the Repulsive Drive kicked in sending the vessel up into the depths of space. Overhead as they cleared the atmosphere, three Tyranny WarZogs came up infront of them, and a squadron of SAC warships came upon them. No by Brian Morgan one has ever escaped the net that the Tyranny's vessels set up to catch the two Heroes. Death was for sure as the first cannon blasts hit the hull of the Gingrinch. The Gingrinch fired at the oncoming slaughter birds, missing all but one. Another hit to the hull. Our hero's are doomed. UPCOMING FROM BRIAN..

Psychic AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): You are going to face the new year with great courage. No, really, you will. No, I mean it, really. Look, I am all not kidding about this, you are truly a courageous person. Jeepers, creepers! Look you spineless wimp, stand up and be a man (woman). Fine, your going to spend the entire month of January hiding in the dog house outside petrified that someone is going to try and spy on you. To remedy this, you will have electrified fence and motion detectors installed around the dog house. If you had just let well enough alone. PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20): Already, the year of the fish is preying on your mind. Where to worship the holy gilled one (I'm talking about a fish ya friggin pervert!) What kind of toys to get the goldfish. Whether or not to give up filets of salmon as a way of demonstrating your sincerity to become a Holy Mackerel. These answers will all be made known to you after you have truly bonded with the ceramic mermaid at the bottom of the tank. ARIES (March 21 - April 19): Aries will succeed at everything that you attempt this month. You will win a substantial prize, all in cash. You will get a raise at your job. You are going to come to the conclusion that your relationship will last forever and that there can't possibly be any one else as wonderful as your mate. Your in-laws are going to tell you that they are moving to outer Mongolia. Your children will get perfect grades in everything and you will be named parent of the year. I know it's early, but ....APRIL FOOLS! TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): The Bull will be roaring mad when you find out that your kids have destroyed your tape collection trying to get enough ribbon to reach the Oak tree down the road. Your anger progresses when you spouse tells you that you should not hinder the children's' creativity. Your anger peaks when, trying to appease you, they go down to the Salvation Army store and buy tapes to replace them and only bring home Barry Manilow. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Tough month for Gemini. You will be at the center of controversy through no fault of your own. Your best friend is going to make a pass at your significant other and you are going to make a pass at your best friend. Perhaps Freudian Therapy is a better solution than Hari-Kari. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): There is something about Cancerians and independence. Either you have so much independence that you cannot even make a simple commitment or you will lack so much independence that on your 50th birthday, you will still be required to be in by dark. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): Leos are going to have a tough beginning part of this year. Not only are you going to find out that your company is 'downsizing' but you significant other is planning on doing the same. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): This new year is going to get off to an incredibly bad start when, during the first three weeks of 1996, you will find a 60 minutes news team outside of your place of employment, the IRS outside of your home, and cockroaches outside of your stove. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): This will be a year of challenges for Libras. The moons of Saturn and Jupiter are all going to align to spell out two letters, F & U. It is also going to happen on the night of your birthday, which by coincidence, no one is going to remember. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Scorpios are tough and durable. This is good. During the second Blizzard of 1996, four feet of snow will fall and you will be smiling as you open the box that your new snowblower came and put it together. You will take it outside and, smiling, gaze at your 150 ft. driveway in anticipation. That is until you realize that the snowblower you bought was one that was returned because the motor was burnt out in it and it was not labeled by the store. Dig out the shovel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Your month is going to be going terrifically, until you are taken ill. Then despair will set in...until you get to this new doctor's office and he does an examination and tells you that it is not serious and all you need are these really expensive pills. Despair will set back in when you see his picture in the paper along with an article about how he is being treated for schizophrenia. Sucks to be you. CAPRICORN (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Things will be very hectic for you this year, especially in the first month. You will try to work in some time for stress relief and a couple of new activities that you have never tried before. You will realize, unfortunately after you are in traction, that slam-dancing is not for you, skiing is not for you, and, maybe most of all, genital bungie jumping is not for you. If you were a regular reader of this column, then you would have realized that from Libra's horoscope of several months ago. Sheesh! Do You Want VISA & MasterCard Credit Cards? —by Justin Tyme Today is January 15,1996, the 15th day of the year. Duh, you're probably trying to figure out how I got that number, aren’t you? On this day in history; In 1735, Gertrude Madison was perfecting her homemade cakes and rolls when her husband decided to market them. Unfortunately, no one wanted Gertrude Madison cakes. Two years later she walked into a drunk on the street who observed her 44-d's and said "Hello, Dolly." The rest is history. In 1783, George Washington issued a Highest Ranking General in the Colonies Order, stating that all generals of at least 2 stars or better were entitled to have genuine Mohagony teeth installed for a nominal fee. In 1876, The Statue of Liberty was christened in New York harbor, months after the reported date. Appar-endy, they forgot her pantaloons on the first trip over and the return trip took four months. It was all for naught. When they brought them over, the President had already looked up the good lady's dress and decided to "cancel the loons." In 1934, Franklin Roosevelt decided for Christmas that he would let his wife light the White House tree. Insiders say that she was going to cut him off if he didn’t let her, so he finally relented. Wussy! In 1941, The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Apparently there was a mis translation of orders. The Japanese commander had said that i t would be nice to go to Hawaii and get bombed. He also made some kind of reference to hula skirts as well. In 1994, The Republicans in the House of Representatives offered to special order a custom-made spine for President Clinton. He refused, saying, "I do not need that, and I am insulted by this gesture! Right, Honey?" In 1996, Everyone is going to ask the President, House of Representatives and the Senate if the federal "furlough" would have even occurred if the furlough included secret service agents, aides, secretary's and most important of all, paychecks' to everyone of those idiots that had personal agendas in the front of their minds instead of the welfare of those people out of work!
