CCC’s Childcare Center—Following the Money
By: Crier Staff
In a recent statement to local news outlets regarding the closure of the Corning Community College Child Care Center, CCC executive director of Institutional Advancement Bill Little said the operation, which has been in place for nearly 30 years, has always operated at a loss. Is this true?
The Center opened in October of 1971, and was staffed by student volunteers. In December of 1971, the Corning Leader reported that a director was being sought, and the position would be funded under the federal Manpower Development and Training Act.
It is unclear whether this is indeed what happened; however, one year later the Elmira Star-Gazette reported that “the money to fund the center for 18 months came through the Steuben County Economic Opportunities Program, CCC student government, and tuition.” Students using the center paid $5/week, and non-student parents paid $15/week. At that time, the center was open year-round.
Today, the center operates only during the academic year, which means it is not a viable option for 12-month employees of the college or students who need care for their children during the summer.
In 1998, the day care center received a $65,000 state grant through the Department of Social
Services to renovate the Center and increase the number of toddlers it could serve. The Center currently receives ongoing grant funding from the SUNY Research Foundation/ Operating Grant and the Child Care & Development Block Grant: Childcare (operating) - $55,700, and Childcare (tuition subsidies) -$30,300.
Due to this continuing reliance on grants, it is unlikely that the child care center was ever truly self-sustaining. According to the recent minutes from the Regional Board of Trustees meetings, profits from the college bookstore were typically used to “cancel out” the losses in the Center’s operating costs. Bookstore
revenue has been decreasing since 2010, and, as of October 2014, the Child Care Center’s deficit stood at approximately $140,000.
As any parent knows, the days of $5/week child care are long past. Most local centers cost around $200/ week, although in-home providers may charge less. So where does this money go? In addition to facility maintenance, there is a laundry list of state-mandated guidelines with which a licensed daycare facility must comply. Furniture and toys must be safe and free from recall; student/teacher ratios must be followed. All kinds of safety protocols must be in place and maintained, and providers must pass background checks and participate in regular professional training. At this point, it appears that the Coming Community College Child Care Center has run up against insurmountable fiscal realities. Increasing costs and decreasing profits, both from the center and from the bookstore, have left a deficit that cannot be met in a timely fashion. The Crier staff hopes that the college will hold to its pledge, as stated in the official press release, of being “steadfast in our commitment to support [student-parents & their children] to the best of our ability through a smooth transition.”

An Impossible Choice
By FSA Board Member
I would like to take this opportunity to speak directly to students and shed light on the recent closing of Corning Community College’s Childcare Center. As many of you know, the decision to close the childcare facility was made by the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) Board. To reiterate the statement provided by the College, the decision to terminate childcare was not made with haste. The decision to close, by nature and by default, is an unpopular one. Closing the Childcare Center will have a profound impact on our students who have young children, as it may hinder their ability to learn and take
classes at CCC. The alternative decisions presented to FSA varied slightly in terms of the time in which they’d take place, however, given certain fiscal and economic circumstances that the college is facing, each alternative ultimately included shutting down the center. We simply cannot afford to provide the program, as it has been running under a growing deficit that can no longer be sustained by the college bookstore or any other FSA Operations. Ultimately, the well has dried up and those who are administratively responsible are now running a shrinking college.
Though I believe that administration failed to look at other possible alternatives such as coordinating with a third-party childcare provider to run the center or bringing the center to the main campus, I do believe that FSA made the best decision they could, when presented with the current financial circumstances. To the students, I urge that if you choose to protest or express your dissatisfaction with recent events, please do so in a constructive and above all else peaceful manner. We must never underestimate the student voice, as it is, and always will be, the loudest on campus.
The Value of Childcare to Students
By Anthony Popkin
Recently, my wife and I found out that Corning Community College's Child Care Center would be closing its doors on May 15, after 30 years of providing an important service to students who are also parents.
This disheartening decision will have a negative impact in the lives of many students, who will no doubt experience an added challenge to finishing their degree if they lose access to affordable, high-quality child care. I am a proud alum of CCC; I know the value of the college to me, my family, and our community.
My three-year-old son has attended the Child Care Center for the past two semesters, and now, my wife and I will have to figure out how to fit quality child care into our family budget, so I can continue to work full -time while my wife balances part-time work and a full class schedule. Our current cost for daycare via CCC is less than $100 per week. The majority of childcare facilities require
payments for an entire week whether or not you child is there, which inflates the costs greatly.
According to Childcare Aware of America, in 2014, the average cost of childcare in New York State was $10,000. The opportunity that the Child Care Center provided to many families -- including my own -- is now being torn away. Many students already have to take out thousands of dollars in loans to pay for tuition and books. Axing subsidized childcare could force many to put their degree on hold -- or worse, abandon college entirely — if they're no longer able to afford all of the costs of college.
Part of the mission statement of CCC reads, "We believe that learning transforms lives, and everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential through education."
I urge the college leaders to continue to uphold its promise to the community by finding a way to keep the Child Care Center open, and keep higher education accessible to current and prospective students.

Will CCC Increase FTE
By Samuel Arnold ISSUE#1
Computer lab hours and Library hours are not meeting student demands and key card system should be implemented to allow more access.
ISSUE#2
IT, Engineering, and Computer Students want a hands-on learning space where they can build and design things, aka “MakerSpace.”
Adding an open builders space lab and expanding lab times will benefit new computer science/engineering programs and other majors. Our school is in a transition of having new concentrations in CS, specifically security. Security is a continually growing field with rapid technical advancements. SUNY IT, who is also adding similar program, is currently expanding their facilities specifically for the CS curriculum with a 50 million dollar budget. Meanwhile our labs seem to be out-of-date when trying to compete with other schools.
Students want access to labs regardless of time or day of the week. We are a residential school. Students are here on weekends and only one is open. Key cards would be an excellent way that each student could access labs. Most colleges have already implemented this system.
There is inability to use an operating system of choice on campus. For instance, there is no Linux lab on main campus. Mac labs have less than 15 free hours for students a week. This is a problem for programing students where they need a specific operating system. A standard lab is open for more than 12 hours a day, an example of this is at BCC, where the labs are open every day. Here at CCC, the Library is closed after 4pm on Friday and not even open on Saturday. That means they have a lab open more in one day then we do in a week. This is not just a problem for CS or engineering; it is a problem for art students trying to access Adobe Suite and residential students.
Tompkins-Cortland Community College and SUNY Broome Community College (two year schools) and RIT, Alfred University, Clarkson, and Binghamton University all have open maker’s space or creation space labs for computer science students and engineering students where they can practice skills and have projects related to course work. Labs that students have access to build mechanical objects, servers, single board computers, and installing software and hardware. The computer science course curricula are so jam-packed that there's barely enough room for their own core material, let alone anything extra. Credits have been cut from SUNY mandates and students need more knowledge and skills specifically hands on in the field. This would have fill that gap.
Students want exploration-oriented spaces. Many of the labs are not created for open learning opportunities and have constrictions due to what time they are open and what can be done. Faculty support and interaction is very important. There is not openness in the labs to build and explore technology. We can only take what is given to us and we cannot design our own equipment or software.
Labs are also very cramped and hard to get in because of classes. Most labs are filled back-to-back with classes. Most the time labs are only open during the free hour when clubs are meeting. This, unfortunately, forces students to decide between clubs and lab work.
Most labs shut down around 4pm. Resident students have to go to public safety to use a lab on weekends. This is inconvenient to students and public safety. Open lab hours would see better utilization if they were open later.
Better Open labs = Better Enrollment. Better Labs will attract students into CS and Engineering fields. Providing open labs will submerge them in a learning environment and help students enjoy their work on a level that isn’t forced upon them while making us more competitive with other schools such as BCC, TC3, Clarkson, Alfred University, RIT and Binghamton.

Arthur A. Houghton Jr—was a Friend of Community Colleges
By Donald B. Creath, former CCC Asst. Professor of Management, Retired Steuben County Legislator, and Member of the CCC Regional Board of Trustees.
Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. and his cousin Amo Houghton were driving forces behind the founding of Corning Community College. Arthur was a major benefactor of the college, donating in 1960 a 273 acre parcel of land to form the Spencer Hill Campus. Further donations from him led to the creation of the Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Library.
He provided a connection between Corning Community College and the Community College System in the State of Maryland. When he “retired” to the Wye Plantation, in Wye Mills on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, he created the Wye Institute for the promotion of the cultural, economic and educational development of the Eastern Shore (which gets its name from being on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay). They had no community college. He took the Corning Glass Works plane down to Annapolis and brought the Maryland State Board of Education back to tour Corning Community College. Later his wishes were granted when Maryland created Chesapeake Community College near Easton.
Mr. Houghton was a philanthropist, a benefactor of the arts, a creator, and probably more importantly, a preserver of history in the arts and the written word. He believed in preserving our historical past. In promoting the arts, he was chairman of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was Vice Chairman of the committee headed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. that created the Lincoln Center. Arthur encouraged his cousin Alice Tully to become benefactor of the Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center.
Corning Community College was not his first or last venture into libraries. He served as the curator of rare books for the Library of Congress, vice chairman of the Pierpont Morgan Library, and a trustee of the New York Public Library. Additionally, he endowed the Houghton Library at Harvard University in 1942 as a repository for the university’s collection of rare books and manuscripts and donated his Keats collections. Later he donated a rare book collection to the CCC Library.
Mr. Houghton sought to develop our children into responsible citizens prepared to take over our world. Community colleges were one such effort. He created the Wye Summer Institute, a 4 week educational camp at the Wye Institute for 14 year old students. Two top students attended from each Eastern Shore school. In later years some Southern Tier of NY students also attended. Every week day they spent with a different top notch professional person—with a marine biologist, oceanographer, astronaut, neurosurgeon, novelist, business CEO, computer technologist, or geologist, etc. In addition to holding discussions, they explored many different hands-on interactive exercises (except, I might add, no surgery). As Martha Manikas-Foster, who was a student from Bath, NY at the time, related, “It was one of the most memorable and inspirational experiences of my life”.
At the Wye Plantation, he developed a breeding herd of 200 Black Angus cattle, and created a test farm to develop “cash crops” for Eastern Shore farmers, both of which enterprises were given to the University of Maryland. He commissioned the architects of Colonial Williamsburg to survey historical sites on the Eastern Shore and create development plans. Then he turned the plans over to local organizations. He bequeathed the Wye Institute to the Aspen Institute and it has become an alternative retreat to Camp David for high level conferences.
Mr. Houghton’s accomplishments in the City of Corning are as notable. His Great Grandfather Amory Houghton founded Coming Glass Works in 1851 (the company is now known as Coming, Incorporated). Following family tradition, he joined the company in 1929 after graduating from Harvard. He took over Steuben Glass in 1933 and went about changing its way of doing business. Colored glass art was out and crystal clear glass was in. Limited editions of glass works of art were produced—offering the pristine glass art today known simply as “Steuben Glass”. It is probably the most prestigious “gift of state” in the modern world.
Last but not least, Mr. Houghton and his cousin Amory “Am” Houghton (Amo Houghton’s father) envisioned and developed the Corning Museum of Glass which has the greatest collection of historical glass art in the world. Oh by the way, you might have guessed, Arthur Houghton developed the CMoG library.

The Modern Library
By Crier Staff
When the College’s permanent library was completed on the Spencer Hill campus in May 1964, it was appropriately dedicated to Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., a collector of rare books and a friend, benefactor, and counselor to Corning Community College. The building was approximately 27,000 square feet on two floors, designed as a central gallery under a triangular roof with “bays” or rooms off the gallery.
In February of 1964, Crier staff wrote of the Arthur A. Houghton, Jr, Library - ‘The staff efficiently managed in nine days the almost unsurmountable task of packing, moving, opening and then placing in order, forty tons of books.”
Fifty years later, library staff orchestrated the removal of over 30,000 volumes of books (with assistance from Naglee Movers), packed art and office supplies, and carefully labelled countless boxes for storage. During the summer of 2014, staff set up a small base of operations in the classroom building; that fall, library services migrated to the Wellness Center. In January of 2015, library and learning centers staff moved one last time, into the newly renovated Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Library.
The 21st century Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Library is still, in its benefactor’s words, a “storehouse of knowledge that is open and available for the asking.” The upper level of the 8,600 square foot addition houses an attractive space for events and student congregation, while the lower level holds the College Archives and a treasure trove of printed books on compact shelving. Walls were removed, opening the space to natural light and inviting collaborative study. There are over 100 computers available to students in the building, and students can use the website or their smartphone to reserve rooms for group projects or individual quiet study. Writing, math, and science assistance is conveniently located in the building as well.
Library and Learning Center staff look forward to seeing you in the new space! Remember, as Albert Einstein said, "the only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.”
Happy exploring!
Article II: Corning Wiki
By Brandon “Theatre X” Smith
Hey everyone, I'm back and here to talk about a new project that I started called “CorningWiki”.
CorningWiki is like the Coming area's own community-driven Wikipedia. It contains information on a whole bunch of things, ranging from Business and Services information to the history of our area and local news. CorningWiki supports anything within the Coming-Painted Post School District's range of operation (this was set because it did not seem fair to support things from a geographical perspective first).
A Brief History:
“I am easily influenced by things I hate” - Frank Zappa
I like to solve problems with an ounce of consciousness. The ideas for CorningWiki started flowing during the Summer of 2014 as I rode my bicycle around Coming during the night. However, I did not start CorningWiki until the Fall 2014 semester at Coming Community College (as I had started blue-printing, building, and hacking at the project, I spent an average of 16 to 20 hours a day, every day, for 4 months-straight doing this!).

CorningWiki Continued
By Brandon “Theatre X” Smith
I started CorningWiki because I experienced a lot of frustration when trying to find a tailor who could fix a pair of pants that my old bicycle tried to eat. This is not the only frustration that served as a catalyst for the project either. Do you know those two tunnels in Corning's Northside that are closed? If you've ever been to the end of Sly Avenue or Bridge Street, you know which tunnels I am talking about. It gets very old when you just want to go to Wegmans to pick up something and have to walk 7 extra blocks to get around the tracks. After two years of this, meh, not for me. (Out of rebellion, I walked over the tracks anyway). However, if I knew what caused the problem in the first place, I might be able to form some solutions to help Corning fix them. Enter: CorningWiki.
The Benefits;
Economics:
CorningWiki's structure, licensing, and other bits have many benefits. One large benefit is from an economic standpoint. CorningWiki allows any individual who wants to start a business have advertising for no charge. This also helps because the businesses that are added to CorningWiki do not get special treatment. It's a leveled playing field. I've found many local business owners outside of the Gaffer District experiencing frustration and envy because of the attention that the Gaffer District gets in the media. I used to side with them; I still do, but not as much. Why? I found that the Gaffer District is really trying to defend themselves from corporations like Wegmans and Wal-Mart, among others, from dominating Corning's marketplace. I can understand this.
I absolutely refuse to pick sides with CorningWiki in terms of economics. If you meet the criteria, you get listed. However, for those that have a vested interest in local goods, there is a section of CorningWiki called “Cwiki Goods” with a section within dedicated to local goods. Check it out. Add to it.
From the 19 year-old part-time babysitter who goes to College to monstrous corporations like Corning Incorporated, CorningWiki gives us all the chance to make a name for ourselves. There's also a very interesting economic benefit that one can use CorningWiki for: Statistics and Solutions.
In an interest of learning about the area's history, I dedicated a section within CorningWiki for businesses that have closed here. Why? Well, not only am I a little nostalgic now and then, but I like to know WHY businesses close. If we knew, we could take this information, along with other information, and analyze it. We could find a common reason or reasons as to why these businesses close and come up with solutions to help prevent businesses from closing.
Education:
Many schools don't provide a thorough account of local history. It's important to do this because the next generations need to know what has happened here so that the same mistakes and issues do not get recreated. The following is a good example of how knowing some local history prevented this:
About a year or so ago, CCC was doing some sort of awareness program for hunger. I mentioned the idea of building a greenhouse on the campus to help feed the students to multiple people and someone informed me that an attempt to build such a thing was attempted before. They told me to contact Sky Moss, a professor at Coming Community College. Sky attempted to create the greenhouse, but it did not take off. After the exchange of a few emails, I eventually learned what caused the problems for the CCC greenhouse.
I could have very easily re-created the same things that caused Sky's attempt to fail if I didn't know about the issues before I got started. A second attempt, without knowledge of what happened, would have been a huge waste!
You and I can very easily create a much stronger and more educated community with this tool. CorningWiki is a big project and there is much work to be done. The project is never going to have a finish line, but I know for certain that it is possible to build our own Wikipedia. So, if you like CorningWiki, please tell others about it or nothing will happen. If you want to help out, please visit CorningWiki.org where you can find information on how to do so. I am sure there is an area you can help with.

The Three Fold Death
By History Club
Throughout the ages, stories of ritual sacrifices have been incredibly common, whether it be stories of Aztecs removing the still-beating hearts of their captives or animal sacrifices that are commonly associated with Judaic religions and ancient Greek practices. However, one that stands out from the rest is the so-called “Threefold Death”. The Threefold Death (or Triple Death) is a concept that is attributed to the Proto-Indo-Europeans, a group of people that are thought to have originated in Eastern Europe around 4000 BCE and migrated outwards across Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Russia. The “symptoms” of the Triple Death often varied, but most commonly it was associated with simultaneously being stabbed, taking blunt trauma to the skull, and drowning or hanging.
Each one correlated with the three functions of Proto-Indo-European society: the sacred (priest caste), martial (warrior caste), and economic (commoners). Obviously this was considered quite horrific, and often related to a form of karma: usually people that “organically” received the Triple Death were murderers or the like, people who somehow violated the three functions. However, it was often ritualistic as well: the famous Bog Men, people that have been preserved due to their bodies being deposited in peat bogs, have often been found with wounds that correspond to the Triple Death.
The ritual origin of this is uncertain: mythological characters, such as Myrddin Wyllt of Welsh legend (an eventual source for Merlin of Arthurian fame), were often associated
with the Triple Death. Myrddin died from falling, stabbing, and drowning according to the legend. Odin was also associated with the Triple Death, as he hung himself to gain more magical knowledge. As time went on, Odin became associated with the tarot card The Hanging Man, which in turn became a symbol for the Threefold Death. One common theory surrounding the bog bodies is that the particular brand of “overkill ritual” that was performed on these people was intended to be an offering to several deities.
So next time someone tells you how “brutal” or “savage” the religious practices of some other group people are, keep in the back of your mind that European religious practices weren’t always so untarnished!

Looking for Something Fun to Do?
By Tina Gerth
Rochester, a city about an hour and half north of Coming, is a great place to spend the day. Start your morning at the George Eastman House, one of the world’s oldest film and photography archives. George Eastman was the founder of Eastman Kodak, an extremely successful photography company. The museum has an impressive collection of film and photography artifacts. It’s also important to remember, Rochester has plenty of natural beauty throughout the year.
Just a ten minute drive from the Eastman house is High Falls, one of many beautiful waterfalls on the Genesee River. The bridge above the falls can get a little windy, but it’s definitely worth the view! To warm up, try heading to one of the warmest places all year round, Lamberton Conservatory. With an entrance fee of just three dollars, this fits right into any college student budget. It was amazing to see so many different types of plants in one place and refreshing to see the green after all the snow. To end your day, head to the Highland Park Diner, a sweet 40’s style diner known for their great burgers and even better milkshakes. Plus, they serve breakfast until 2 p.m. What more could you ask for? So celebrate spring with a trip to Rochester, and explore a little more of what Upstate New York has to offer!

Most people know who the Rolling Stones are, fewer know Ronnie Wood, and even fewer know Wood as a painter and artist. He likes to say he does a little bit of playing and a little bit of painting. His inspiration comes from music; he paints a lot of fellow musicians in various styles, but he also paints other individuals and objects.
Castle Galleries in Reading will be featuring four new prints by Wood. They are from his Drawn to Life Collection. All the art was painted while on tour with the Stones. Wood is a trained artist and has been painting and playing for over fifty years.

Movie Review: Insurgent
By Megan Pradichith
Despite my age, I am fond of young adult novels; yet for some strange reason, I haven’t gotten around to read The Divergent Series written by Veronica Roth. The series is set in a society split into five factions based on different virtues and those whose mandatory aptitude test results in fitting into more than two factions are considered Divergent and supposedly a threat to society. So in order to understand the adaptation of the second book, Insurgent, directed by Robert Schwentke, I had to educate myself beforehand, but so far I ended up developing mixed feelings. The story had too many elements that remind me of The Hunger Games (even though that is similar to The Running Man and Battle Roy-ale). On the bright side, it did have some strong characters and there are some plot elements that are interesting. Thinking just about Insurgent for now, it compared to the first film, and was somewhat better—but it was neither good nor bad in its own right.
This second part of The Divergent Series takes place immediately after the first part, in which two Divergents— Beatrice “Tris” Prior (Shailene Woodley) and Tobias ‘Tour” Eaton (Theo James)—are on the rim from the leader of Euridite Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet). Tris and Four remained strong and developed characters, but some were left underdeveloped and some of the new characters appear without any introductions whatsoever—with the exception of Naomi Watts’ character, Evelyn. The plot is better and I did like some of it, but I still recognize some of the plot elements from The Hunger Games. This time however, the similarities weren’t obvious; but I can’t explain what they are without spoiling anything. The rest felt rushed or out-of-place without much explanation. On the bright side, the actors did a good job playing the characters, the visual effects were amazing, and the music fit the dystopic atmosphere perfectly.
I found out after watching the movie that it deviated from the book far more than the first film. I haven’t read the book version, so therefore I don’t have the right to judge on how good the adaptation is. I will say, however, that deviation can be a good thing and that anything that follows source material too much will make the adaptation boring. On the other hand, too much deviation can result into a horrendous movie similar to The Last Airbender, which had horrible acting, offensive casting, redundant writing that butchered the story and characters, and chaotic choreography and visual effects. Insurgent is lucky that it didn’t turn out like that.
The Verdict
Insurgent is better than its predecessor Divergent, but it is flawed. If you want to see it, I recommend knowing about the series before watching the movie if you don’t want to get lost with the story and characters. To the fans of The Divergent Series, I’ve seen testimonies that they liked it regardless of the changes, but I bet some of you might not like that at all. I guess it depends on what you prefer in terms of how adaptations should be.
