How to deal with
“MARCH MADNESS?”
WHAT DID YOU DO OVER
BREAK?
Looks Can Be Deceiving, See Pages 8 & 9
And no, not the basketball kind, but
rather the “cabin fever,” mid-term exam
stress, spring fever, “when will the
weather get better” sort.
Here are some suggestions:
-Have some time to be by yourself every
day, no matter how limited it may be.
-Have some time to be with someone you
love or really like being with.
-Provide a comfortable and warm
environment for yourself at home, in your residence hall room, and at
work.

-Don’t be a hero. When the going gets rough, slow down, look for help,
get some sympathy.
-Get some strenuous exercise each week. Recommendations are that an
individual burn 2000 calories per week in vigorous exercise.
-Identify people who cause you stress. Avoid them as much as possible.
-Try a relaxation exercise regularly that works for you, particularly during
a period of stress.
-Learn to say “no.”
-Develop friendships.
-Schedule different activities each week for personal enjoyment.
-Start the day relaxed. Don’t be in a rush. Get up 15 minutes earlier if
necessary. And have a good breakfast!
-Avoid excessive amounts of food, and avoid cigarettes, alcohol or drugs.
-Have some goals to strive for. Develop new ideas.
WHAT’S INSIDE
-Don’t dwell on what you can’t control.

-Take some time to organize and plan your day/week.
-Don’t procrastinate. Get unpleasant activities out of the way quickly.
-Be organized enough to be productive but not so organized that you lose
all spontaneity.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
By Andrew Burns
When people go through life, what do they think of? When
you’re walking down the street day dreaming where does
your mind go? Lately I can tell you that mine has been on a
song called Mudvayne Scream with Me. Not exactly sure
why, but I it’s stuck in my head most of the time. Otherwise
there’s not too much of anything....at least that’s what one
would think.
Recently I have gained a lot of responsibility and there are
times when I wonder if it was the right thing to do. But
then what comes to mind is a challenge. Something I can’t
turn down or back away from. I am in this college for an
education and the time of my life. Right now it’s hard to
balance both but yet, I figure it out some how.
All I can truly say is that I wouldn’t be who I am, if I
did not do join the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE).
Falcons Fly High, Knights Never Die.
Truth in Marketing:
Weight Loss is Never Easy!
By Rochel Shapiro, RN
The traditional model of weight loss is a behavioral approach that
includes nutritional education, exercise, and teaching how to control
urges related to consumption of excessive calories. While this method
can successfully influence an average weight loss of 8% to 10% of
starting point body weight after 6 months, successful long term weight
loss is atypical (Wing, 1998, as cited in Powers, Koestner, & Gorin,
2008).
The combination of exercise and calorie control has produced more
effective weight loss results than exercise or diet alone (Kerksick et
al, 2009), but there are numerous factors that complicate the ability to
conform to caloric parameters and adhere to a regimen of increased
physical activity. Based upon Social Cognitive Theory, some individuals
may be unable to squeeze exercise and dietary changes into their
schedules due to a perceived inability of lack of time and energy (Pender,
Murdaugh, & Parsons, 2006). The phenomenon of gaining back all of
the lost weight within 3 to 5 years (Perri & Corsica, 2002, as cited in
Powers, Koestner, & Gorin, 2008) makes the trial even more arduous,
and possibly reduces motivation. In fact, motivation seems to present an
essential element in the battle to lose and sustain weight loss (Powers,
Koestner, & Gorin, 2008). The question is how can one effectively
encourage and motivate weight loss efforts? The answer might surprise
you, because each person is unique, and we have different styles and
approaches.
Support of Family and Friends
The majority of weight loss interventions occur in the home; therefore,
the supportive behavior of friends and family must be considered. There
are many ways that a friend or family member can provide support;
unfortunately, sometimes admirable intentions end up discouraging
and preventing weight loss, especially when these efforts are perceived
as controlling or too directive (Powers, Koestner, & Gorin, 2008).
Encouraging self-regulation (autonomy support) promotes the sharing
of feelings and perceptions, and allows that person to exert individual
control by making personal choices (Reeve, Bolt, & Cai, 1999, as cited
in Powers, Koestner, & Gorin, 2008), and refrains from criticism and
punishment for weight loss attempts (Black, Gleser, & Kooyers, 1990, as
cited in Powers, Koestner, & Gorin, 2008).
According to Hood & Leddy (2006, p. 189), “listening is the most
important therapeutic technique in the
process of effective communication
and in demonstrating caring.” This
idea underscores the importance of
providing support by listening. Therefore,
by shifting the locus of control to the
person who desires weight loss, we not only promote autonomous selfregulation (Powers, Koestner, & Gorin, 2008), but we also allow that
person to express his or her feelings in a nonjudgmental way.

Magical Internships
By Tiffany Ekeblad and Kristin Bourdeau
When you hear Disney, what comes to mind? Chances are you thought of the movies, theme
parks, or the characters, right? Would you believe that for many Delhi students the words
“Internship” and “Classes” come to mind? I kid you not!
The Disney College Program incorporates living, learning, and earning. As a participant,
the student works five to six days per week in one facet of the Walt Disney World Parks and
Resorts, ranging from attractions and life guarding to food & beverage and merchandise.
Benefits include free admission to the parks as well as discounts on food and merchandise.
Working for the Disney Company teaches you a life long experience in Guest Service and
looks impressive on a resume. Professor David Brower of the Hospitality Department
states, “as an alum of the Disney College Program, I can attest that future employers see this
experience as a valuable one! My time at Disney has come up in every single interview that
I’ve been on since – including the interview for my position at SUNY Delhi.”
Housing is also included in this internship experience. To help build the community, they
offer many activities ranging from pool parties and dances to grocery bingo and trips to
the beach. Chelsea Bertrand, a Hotel & Resort Mgmt Major, worked at the Caribbean
Beach Resort in the Spring of 2009. She said, “Living in Orlando was a very fun experience, and I made many friends that will last a life time. This
experience at Disney has connected me with people across the globe including Nicaragua, South Korea, England, Brazil, China, and many other
countries!”
In addition, participants have the opportunity to take classes at Disney or through Delhi. Disney classes include Communications, Hospitality Mgmt,
Human Resource Mgmt, Marketing, and Organizational Leadership These classes, good for Delhi credit, open up opportunities to network with top
Disney leaders and executives.
Courtney Suttles, a Travel & Tourism Major, says, “I believe I gained many positive communication skills as well as other positive traits that I will
carry with me forever.” The program is open to students of all majors. If you are interested in an experience that can change your life, come to the
presentation on Tuesday, March 30th at 11 am and 2 pm in Alumni Hall. For further insight, feel free to reach out to Professor Brower (browerdc@
delhi.edu) or Kristin Bourdeau and Tiffany Ekeblad, (DelhiDisneyReps@gmail.com) and of course, check out www.disneycollegeprogram.com.
Remember, it all started with a mouse!

IN MEMORIAM
Erik Shook was a Golf Course Management Major here at SUNY Delhi and unfortunately passed
away just recently. On March 13th a memorial service was held at St. Lukes Church, pictures were
displayed and many showed. Those who attended described Erik as “really friendly”, “positive”,
“always wearing a smile”, and “a great friend.” During the service balloons were handed out and
each individual wrote down a memory they had with him. Later all the balloons were released outside
and his parent provided a buffet style meal for all who attended. It’s sad to see Erik leave us at only
22 years old but we all know he has a better seat to the Buffalo Bills games.
NEWS FROM ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM
The SUNY/Delhi Arch BT senior design studio, under Prof Z. I.
Sanchez, took on a one week charrette in December ‘09 to design a
mobile display unit to display photographs, brochures and video to
promote clean energy projects, technologies and education. It had to
be as lightweight as possible; foldable into the trunk of a car; and of as
many recyclable/environmentally responsible materials as possible. It
was a challenge already facing the Clean Energy Technology Training
Consortium: A display unit that could travel to various open house and
clean energy fairs across the state.
The Clean Energy Technology Training Consortium is a five-county
partnership to help the public with training, education and career info
on clean energy technologies, trends and opportunities. It’s coordinated
by SUNY Ulster’s Continuing Education and Public Programs in
partnership with the SUNY Community Colleges of Sullivan, Rockland,
Orange and Dutchess counties, with funding by the New York State
Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The
CETTC and its partners Mid-Hudson Energy$mart Communities and
Sustainable Hudson Valley are spreading the word through community
events and the SHV website. The consortium is also developing
resource centers in each of the five counties.
Due to Prof. Sanchez’s work with SVH in January 2010, the consortium
reviewed all the SUNY/Delhi Arch BT seniors’ design concepts for the
display unit. They agreed that the concepts of David Carr and William
Hitchcock had the most feasible elements for a purposeful display
unit. As a result, in February, through the SUNY/Delhi Architecture
Club, David and William have now collaborated on a final display unit
design that integrated the best of each of their individual designs. The
final display unit has at its core a five-panel setup that can be added
to; includes the logos of those involved including SUNY/Delhi; and is
assembled of ‘off the shelf’ items’ from Williams Lumber, Rhinebeck, a
key supporter of the Sustainable Hudson Valley and the consortium.
Sustainable Hudson Valley and Melissa Everett, executive director,
coordinating on behalf of the consortium, has selected David Carr and
William Hitchcock’s display unit as the one that will be developed as
the core display unit for all the partners.
Now in March, the students will get an opportunity to make the first
prototype right here in the SUNY/Delhi Arch BT studio, to refine details
and the sequence of assembly. They will then have the opportunity
to participate in the production of the other five or six units with
SHV and the community colleges of the five counties. The sketches
of the selected display unit will soon be available for viewing on the
architecture club website: http://www.delhi.edu/academics/academic_

The Sound Track of Our Lives
By John Huber, Assistant Director Student Activities
What’s good, Delhi? Now that we are half-way through the semester, sprung forward, and looking forward to a
great couple of weeks before Spring Break, it’s time to talk music again, right?!?
I thought this column should be dedicated to those memorable songs in the car…it’s a Top 5 Driving Songs
List!
5. Drum Trip/Ecstasy – Rusted Root
My love of this song goes all the way back to before I could drive and I
had to play back-up percussion on the glove box in my buddy Tony’s truck.
This song has some intricate drum parts and solid Latin percussive grooves
for days!
4. All Over You – Live
Live was the first band I saw in concert, and I’ve always loved this
song since the day I got my license. My poor steering wheel/air
freshener/side view mirror “drum set” never had a chance!
3. Engine No. 9 (Get Me Back On Time) – Wilson Pickett
This song has a tasty little cowbell groove (no, “Don’t Fear The Reaper” is NOT
the only song to feature a cowbell) along with a sick bass part. This song is what car
radios were built for!
2. Stockholm Syndrome – Muse
Muse is quickly bolting to the top of my all time favorites list, and it’s
songs like “Stockholm Syndrome” on Absolution that help to renew
that ongoing interest. Also, check out “Hysteria” on this album…
nearly all of them are good for the car!
1. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Of course if you’ve ever seen “Wayne’s World,” you
know exactly why this is the ultimate song for the
car. Just don’t veer of the road or collide with a deer
while you’re head banging!
Is there a particular genre/subject in music you would like to see me take on?
Email me at huberjb@delhi.edu or stop by Thurston 203 to talk music!
Be good to each other Delhi!

February 2010 Snow Storm
By Brenna Leskody
Photos By Aaron Rogers-Hancock
At around one o’clock on Thursday February 25th 2010 calls were put out to every student
that’s hooked up to the NY alert system. For the first time it was actually useful, considering
they never cancel classes due to weather. The recording said that all classes after 2pm
were canceled. Luckily my only class of the day was at 2pm. Living off campus I knew
my hooptie wasn’t going to make it up that hill. The snow was coming down in blankets
covering everything in sight. By 10 that night my car was so covered you could barely see
my car. This was wild, being from Long Island we never get snow storms like this. If we
get 5 inches of snow school closes for days and people are clogging up the supermarkets
buying food and water. Usually I make a small igloo and hibernate in there until school was
back on, but upstate I try and blend in with the locals by driving a 4 wheeler around and go
hunting for the abominable snowman.
No one was certain if the snow was going to continue through the night or if school would
be canceled again. From watching the movie Snow Day we all know how hard it is to have 2
snow days in a row. Thankfully everyone got a call that next day at around 6am saying that
classes for the day were canceled.
The bad thing about the snow storm was that
it happened right before winter break and a
lot of students were stuck at school. So many
that the dorms were open until Saturday
when they would usually get out on Friday.
Trailways buses were not running at all on
Thursday and Friday. So the majority of the
students traveling by bus had to wait until
Saturday. That Friday my roommates and I
spent the afternoon digging out our cars.
There was so much snow we had no more room to put the snow, so a little bit went in the street. Then a
cop drove by and was like “Yo, you can’t put that snow in the street” as my roommate replies “Where
do you want us to put it?” Then I quickly say “Okay we will move it.” We didn’t move it, because right
after he drove away a plow came by and helped us out. Thank you plow man aka Uncle Roger.

Alternative Break Trip Takes Delhi Students & Staff
Back to Katrina Devastation
By Martha Vink, Campus Minister
“You can see it on TV, but once you go down there, it’s real.” (Val
Outsen) This sums up what many of the 9 students and 2 chaperones feel
after spending a week on the Gulf Coast. In 7 days we traveled through
8 states (7 just getting there and settling in!), seeing for ourselves the
damage from Hurricane Katrina, which took place in August of 2005,
and working with Habitat for Humanity in Mobile, Alabama.
We flew in to Gulfport,
Mississippi, after barely
making it out of snowy
Delhi, and took the
scenic route via Florida
before arriving at our
hotel in Mobile. Sunday
Feb 28th we drove from
Mobile to Gulfport, then
along the shore much

Orleans, covering the

Katrina hit hardest. We
saw a lot of sights, some rebuilding of homes and businesses, and many
empty lots and steps with no houses attached. It’s hard to believe that
they still have abandoned houses and lots after all this time!
The saying is so true,
“many hands make light work.”
Martha Vink, “working it”!
In the Lower 9th Ward, Brad Pitt started a project called “Make It Right
New Orleans” where new homes are being built for residents of the area
where a barge broke through a levee and flooding devastated the area;
these houses are amazing and sometimes unusual-looking. Still, many of
the neighborhoods there look like ghost towns. On Monday we toured
and worked at the St. Joseph Rebuild Center in downtown New Orleans,
which serves the homeless and poor population there. They had been
flooded during Katrina, but have been able to build something even better
than before. From there we went to Mobile for our work with Habitat for
the rest of the week.
Habitat for Humanity of Mobile County has built 150 homes since
1989. We worked in a neighborhood of Mobile called Hillsdale, where
At right,
many Habitat homes have already been built. We were joined by 3 other

in the morning!” We discovered that anyone can do it. We learned new
skills, enjoyed the work and the sun which came out after the first day,
and laughed when we saw Nelson using his head – literally- to hold the
plywood for a ceiling in place. The Habitat site managers guided us along
the way, and though we made mistakes here and there, we learned from
the experience, and would definitely go again.
We did a lot of things on our trip in addition to working with Habitat
for Humanity: ate at a Hard Rock Café in Destin, Florida; went to an
extremely friendly African American Church in Gulfport, Mississippi;
walked on the beach at the Gulf; zoomed around on a 3-storey go-cart
track in Gulf Shores, Alabama; had a lot of laughs and good food, and
handled the “bumps in the road” pretty well. We had an unfortunate
experience at a very dirty Howard Johnson’s, including an encounter with
a bed bug (gross!). –We decided not to stay there! We experienced many
things and had different adventures there and along the way. Just ask one
of us; we have many more stories!

can be a life-changing experience.
“It’s amazing to see a house be built from literally a cement slab to a roof
in one week by a bunch of energetic students with literally no experience
in construction. My hands and my heart will never be the same.”

bad taking pictures of

O'Connor Center for Community Service Recognized
with National Honor for Fourth Year in a Row
SUNY Delhi has been recognized with the President's Higher Education
Community Service Honor Roll for the volunteer efforts of its O'Conno
Center for Community Service for the fourth consecutive year. SUNY
Delhi has received this special recognition every year since the inceptio
of the award.
The Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for
its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. SUNY Delhi was among colleges and
universities across the U.S. that were chosen based on a series of selection factors including
scope and innovativeness of service projects, percentage of student participation in service
activities, incentives for service, and the extent to which the school offers academic servicelearning courses.
The O'Connor Center for Community Service documented nearly 16,000 hours in community
service performed by 892 students in 2009. SUNY Delhi was also recognized for its special
efforts fostering service learning opportunities for its students during 2009 and its ServiceLearning Fellows for faculty. Dr. Amber Tatnall, assistant professor of psychology, had students
perform 20 hours of service hours with partner agencies Delaware County ARC and Countrysid
Care Center as part of their course work. Dr. Deborah S. Adelman, associate professor in Delhi's
online BSN program, had students partner with agencies across New York State as part of the
program's healthcare policy course.
Other major volunteer efforts included: the college's annual participation with the Delaware
County Relay for Life; a new mentoring program called "Bronco Buddies," which is held in
collaboration with the Big Buddy Program and South Kortright Schools; fundraising for the
Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse; fundraising with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild
the Eaglefeather home; building homes in Alabama and Texas with Habitat for Humanity; and
hosting Delhi's annual Community Service Day when hundreds of service hours are performed
by over 200 students, faculty and staff at dozens of locations throughout Delaware and Otsego
counties.
The O'Connor Center for Community Service has operated on the Delhi campus for 10 years
thanks to lead support from the O'Connor Foundation of Hobart. The Center matches individual
students, clubs, classes, and faculty and staff volunteers with non-profit agencies and
organizations within the greater Delhi community that need a helping hand. It serves as a
clearinghouse for these community organizations, and facilitates
volunteerism by arranging for transportation, orientation and training, and
feedback on completed community service projects.
To serve as a host organization for students who wish to do volunteer
work, please contact the O'Connor Center for Community Service (607)
746-4781.

an area of 1,700 square feet, and will be used to partially offset the annual electrical usage
of the building complex. The project will commence this month and is set to be completed
sometime in the fall of 2011.

The Poetry of Four Talented Women
By Ariana Lubelli
In light of April, National Poetry month, SUNY
Delhi will be celebrating the amazing gift of poetry
displayed through four female faculty members.
On Tuesday, April 20th, The Bookstore will sponsor
A Women’s Poetry Reading event in The Resnick
Library.
Jill Carey, Lynn Domina , Kathryn DeZur, and
Sharon Ruetenik are presenting students with the
opportunity to see a different side of themselves,
outside of the classroom environment. We have
seen them participate in the roles of SUNY Delhi
faculty but on April 20th, these four published poets
will offer us the chance to be enlightened with
their poetry through various reading.
This event began with the bright idea of Maria
Wesley, Library Resource Information Assistant.
She wanted students to be able to utilize the
many different resources Delhi’s campus has
to offer. Rather than through the use of books,
films, or computers she wanted to construct a live
demonstration for library. “Listening to poetry is a
completely different experience than just reading
it” says Wesley.
She wanted the students to see our professional
teachers and staff playing a different role. She
wished to organize a relaxed event which would
celebrate the special talent or gift of poetry through
the expression of it.
Each Poet will display a unique style of their
own through their poems. There will be a variety
of emotions and subjects read. Let the diversity
in poetic structure and topics inspire you. Come
celebrate The National Poetry Month of April!
