Looking For Patterns in Post-High School Success
High School Principal Matthew Lee reviews documents in his office ahead of students' arrivals this week. By John Howard
W
hen it comes to measuring how well graduates are prepared for college and career life, the Clinton Central School District is in the dark. High School Principal Matthew Lee knows this, but he also knows that you have to start somewhere. At a recent Board of Education
meeting, Lee announced a new initiative in the High School to collect and analyze data about students beyond their years in the Clinton halls. By knowing how well students are performing at the college level, he asserted, the District can make more educated curriculum decisions

throughout the K through Grade 12 curriculum. “We all educate our students based on New York standards,” said Lee. “But ultimately, what happens to them after they graduate? How successful were we at preparing them? ... We don’t even know how many people are graduating from college that come from here.” The High School has begun a process of collecting and organizing data that will hopefully shine some light on this issue. Starting with the Class of 2013, the School will examine 2012 Regents, ACT and SAT test results and compare them with postgraduation success rates. From there, the School can begin mapping out a trajectory of what led to a particular student’s success or struggles, and begin identifying patterns and key criteria that will lead to achievements later on. The New York State Department of Education (DOE) defines college and career readiness as earning a score of 75 or greater on the ELA Regents exam and a score of 80 or higher on any math Regents exam. Across the state, only 35.3 percent of graduating seniors from 2012 were considered to have met that standard.
22 Days, 4,300 Miles, 17 States and 16 Major League Baseball Games
At Clinton, that average is much higher. College and career readiness averages for the Class of 2015 is closer to 80 percent in both ELA and math, according to Lee. Still, the School has decided to look beyond testing results, as they can tend to be onedimensional. “We’re looking at three or four pieces of data and all of them are one-day exams. A few hours sitting in a room, sitting at a desk, taking an exam,” said Lee. “How accurate as predictors are those? We don’t know, but we want to find out.” The High School has recently partnered with the National Student SUCCESS, page 10
2 Hit-And-Runs in 4 Days By Staff The Kirkland Police Department responded to two hit-and-run accidents within a four-day span. Charges have been filed in both incidences. The first accident happened on Bramblewood Road just past midnight on Wednesday, Aug. 27. A vehicle driven Natalie Katuschenko, 33, of Clark Mills, struck a parked car belonging to Charles Smith, of Fort Plain. According to police, Katuschenko was using her cell phone at the time of the crash. She allegedly fled the scene and was later arrested for driving while intoxicated. Both vehicles sustained damage, however no injuries were reported. A second accident at 2:36 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, saw two cars ACCIDENT, page 4

A
crop of young talent has stepped in to fill the void left by 11 faculty retirements at the end of the 2013-14 school year. Of the ten new faculty members who will begin teaching this week, some are recent hires and others are callbacks to the District. The Elementary, Middle and High Schools will each see three new faculty additions. The High School will see new personnel in the areas of secondary science, physical education and secondary ELA. In the Middle School, new teachers will join the social studies and Grade 6 departments. Finally, in the Elementary School, students will be welcomed by new faces in kindergarten, Grade 3 and special education. The number 10 spot goes to Karen Zaleski, who will replace Linda Chesebro as the library media specialist and serve all students in the
District. Each school will also welcome new substitute faculty members. Kelly Sanderson (High School, secondary math), Cathy Loiacono (Middle School, guidance), and Lauren Karas (Elementary School, Grade 2), have joined the CCS ranks with long-term sub positions. With the 11 faculty retirements at the end of the 2013-14 school year came the end of 276 years of collective teaching experience. All but three of the Clinton faculty retirees had over 20-year legacies as educators. In addition to the faculty additions, the District will see a number of noninstructional staff updates. Cynthia Smiegal will take over the reins as High School nurse from Mary Ellen Welchons, who also retired at the end of the last school year. Alicia Walker has been hired as the Middle School nurse. The District has welcomed two new, full-time bus driver hires, Jeffrey Kirley and Leonard Murphy, as well as a new attendant, Chelsy Daz. The 2014-15 school year begins Thursday, September 4. For a profile of the new full-time and substitute faculty additions, see page 7.

“I
t was supposed to be a one-day trip to Boston and back,” Dave Hudon said, sitting in the kitchen with his family over breakfast. “If we hadn't done it spontaneously, it probably never would have happened.” Dave, along with his two sons, Connor, 14, and Matthew, 10, had just returned home from a month-long marathon of major league baseball stadium visits. The trip saw the crew up and down the East Coast and into the Midwest for a total of 16 games. Most surprising, the trip was forged together on a fleeting instinct and a love for the game. Plans were made on a day-by-day basis. “We’re big Yankees fans, that’s what got this whole thing started,” said Dave. While the boys were in Boston, it was suggested that they travel down to a Yankees game the following day, before heading back home. All agreed that this sounded like a good idea, so before the end of the Red Sox game, Yankees tickets were purchased and BASEBALL, page 3
At the Town's most recent Board meeting on Aug. 27, officials reviewed bid proposals for four pickup trucks, set dates for budget workshops, and discussed position openings. The Town put four pickup trucks to be used by the highway department out to bid in August. As of the 3 p.m. Aug. 27 deadline, four proposals had been submitted with only two meeting all qualifications. The eligible bids will be further reviewed before a final vote is made. On Sept. 29, a preliminary budget must be submitted to the Town Clerk ahead of workshops and a public hearing in October. The public is invited to join the Town Board on Oct. 15 for their first budget workshop at 7 p.m. in the Town Municipal building. The public hearing and second workshop, if needed, will happen during the second meeting of the month on October 29. Town Supervisor Robert Meelan put in a motion to create a new office specialist position, as RoseMarie Arcuri is retiring at the end of the year. Arcuri was originally set to retire earlier this year. The school's resource officer position remains in limbo after funding from the Town was cut. "At this point in time we're not quite sure what's really going on with the School's resource officer position," said Meelan. "It's in the hands of the School, and the Town is waiting to hear from them." Kirkland Police Chief Dan English noted the School might change the position's title.

Editor’s Note Off the Beaten Path, and Somehow Back Again I have never really hiked much before. Come to think of it, I can’t remember the last time I ever decided to gear up and hit the trail. If I have, it wasn’t my decision. The hiking boots I do own, I inherited from my father—they didn’t fit his feet right, so he gifted them to me. I don’t even remember the last time I set out specifically to exercise. (Maybe it was sometime in high school?) I have only vague ideas of what to do if you get lost in the woods, or if I encounter a bear, or any other beast that lingers for that matter. I think you’re supposed to walk away slowly, avoiding eye contact. Then again, I seem to remember a woodsy person once telling me that if you make your frame as large as possible, stretching your torso and reaching your arms to the sky, it can scare a predator away. But who would be stupid enough to try and see if that worked in the first place? All these uncertainties, these doubts, were not the thoughts I was having when I decided to hike to the summit of Whiteface Mountain this weekend. Instead, I settled on a much simpler attitude of: “What’s the worst that can happen?” My family was visiting the area for the long weekend and Emily and I were with them. Some had decided to hike the nearly 4-mile trail from the edge of Lake Placid to the top of the neighboring peak. They had asked if I wanted to tag along and, outfitted with a genuine sense of naiveté, tag along I did. Whiteface Mountain is one of 46 high peaks in the Adirondack Mountains region and comes with a 2,535-foot ascent. Apparently, it is also one of the easier peaks on the list to conquer, but that seemed highly unlikely when all the muscles in the lower half of my body were burning only midway through the ascent. I did manage to make it up, though. Somehow. And while doing so, a lot of those cliche sayings about “the trail” came to mind.
Buddha taught: “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” Robert Frost wrote: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” And then, of course, Miley Cyrus sang that it “Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side, It's the climb.” Trails can be daunting, like beginning the process of determining if Clinton students are truly prepared for the world ahead (see page 1). They can be fun, like a real life road trip, driving from town to town in celebration of America’s pastime (also, see page 1). They can be exhilarating, like starting fresh studying jazz guitar at college (see page 6) or leaving retirement behind for a new business venture (see page 8). Rarely, though, are trails as neatly packaged as their worshipping inspirational quotes make them seem. Sometimes, there’s only one path to choose and it’s straight up. “The trail,” “the road,” “the path,” are some of the most overused metaphors in the language, because it signals progress and progress is essential. But these sayings only really apply to situations before and after the quest, motivating us when we strive for success or encouraging us when failure strikes. When you’re on the trail, you’re really only focused on the two feet ahead, so you don’t roll an ankle. But maybe that’s just me.

THE CLINTON COURIER 3
BASEBALL (continued from page 1) plans were secured. After New York, they inched even further south for a Washington Nationals game against the Brewers. It was during this game that the fandom floodgates seemed to lift, leaving an endless baseball odyssey on the horizon. A retired New York State Police Officer, Dave was able to free up time in his schedule to make the spur-ofthe-moment summer trip happen for the family. But he gives a lot of credit to his wife and the boys’ mother, Becky, who was supportive of the adventure from the start, when she heard about it for the first time from a phone call while they were on the road to another game. “Becky called us [after the Nationals game] and she asked, ‘What are you guys up to?’” Dave remembered. “The three of us could not stop laughing, because we were already southbound.” The group’s next stop was South Carolina on their way to Florida to watch two Tampa Rays games at Tropicana Field. From there they traveled back up to Atlanta for a game at Turner Field. There was one hitch in the plan. When the group left Clinton they had only packed for a couple days. An early pit stop was made at the Hilton Head Island outlets in South Carolina where they stocked up on clothes, toothbrushes and other essentials. They saved money by bringing their own food into the parks and staying overnight at campgrounds rather than hotels when they could. Anyone who knows the Hudons will tell you that they aren’t your typical baseball fans. Their backyard on Dwight Avenue has been converted to a Wiffle ball stadium. There are banners from brand names like Sony and Delta Airlines strung up on the fence, just like in the major leagues. “Hudon Park” is painted in large, white letters on a mock Green Monster in the center of the outfield. Needless to say, baseball became a way of life on the trip, too. The trio arrived at games two or more hours early to watch batting practices and get autographs. They chatted with the Atlanta Braves coaching staff from behind the dugout. They conversed with Kansas City Royals players, who were staying at their same hotel in Boston. They collected 18 practice balls along the way, six of which they gave away to other fans. True Yankees fans at heart, they kept up on New York games with broadcast streams to their phones, stretching the data plan to its limit. As fate would have it, they only made it to one Yankees game, while they saw the Red Sox take the field three times. The trip began on July 18 and continued through the middle of August. During that time, the Hudons visited more than half of the total professional stadiums in the country, a feat that any baseball fanatic would be proud of as a life achievement, let alone a task completed in a few weeks. While the experience as a whole is still a bit of a blur, the family remembers specific details of each stop, like the 40 pieces of sushi Connor consumed in the Audi Club at Yankees Stadium, and all the unsuspecting individuals whose photos Matthew was able to photobomb. There were recreational moments here and there, visiting family members and Idlewild and Cedar Point theme parks. As in the major leagues, those were referred to as “travel days.” Baseball brought the group to big cities like Detroit, Chicago and Cincinnati. An overview of the trip breaks down to 22 days, 4,300 miles, 17 states, 76 hours of driving and—most importantly—528 consecutive hours together. “That was probably the best part of
it,” said Dave. “The three of us in a car bonding. No girls, no manicures. Just us three guys that got to spend time together uninterrupted. We tightened up.” Meanwhile, there was plenty of bonding going on at home. With the boys away, Becky and her daughter, Hannah, the youngest of the siblings at 8 years old, had the house to themselves, and they got to savor some rare one-on-one time with each other. “Hannah loved it,” said Becky. “It was the first time she got to be an only child.” Team travel schedules made it difficult to follow a linear path on the journey. For every stop, Connor served as the key itinerary person. They would have to purchase and print tickets on the fly, one time resorting to using a printer at a nearby AT&T store. “We had a bunch of games planned when we were in South Carolina, but we switched it up because we wanted to get more in,” said Connor. With all the things that could go wrong without a backup plan, the Hudons lucked out. There were no rain outs or game delays, which would have caused them to miss other games. And other than a couple blowouts, most of the games they watched were close. The boys seemed awestruck by the scenery at Camden Yards and Tropicana Field, but everyone agrees that Yankee Stadium was the nicest park they visited (being Yankees fans, they were partial to that field to begin with). Each family member had their favorite stops, though. “I liked Fenway the most,” said Matthew. “I like baseball more now after doing this.” Eventually, the troops had to return home after a final game in Baltimore. Connor was signed up for a camp that began on the Monday of the week they returned. Otherwise, they might have stayed out, roaming the country even longer. “They don’t realize it now, but it’s the kind of trip they’re going to tell their grandkids about,” said Becky “It was an experience we’ll never forget,” added Dave. “It was probably the best thing we’ve ever done as a family.” When the boys returned, Becky went out to run errands, expecting to find them collapsed in travel-induced sleep. Instead, she returned to the opposite. All three of them were huddled around the TV, watching a Yankees game, unfazed by their recent overindulgence in the sport. “After all that baseball, you can really sit on a couch and watch another game?” she said. “I’m like, ‘Really?’”
Past Issues
25 Years ago Sept. 6, 1989 While the long-term future remains unsettled, the Jack Boynton Pool apparently enjoyed a successful 33rd season and can be operated for at least another year without major repairs. With an improved financial situation, the Pool can afford to pay for minor repairs needed to open in 1990. This summer, Hamilton College assistant professor Dennis Geist and students Scott Rayder and Mark Jellinek, along with Ecuadorean student Jorge Fierro, studied the historically active Alcedo Volcano located in the Galapagos Islands. The Kirkland Panthers Pop Warner Football team hosted Whitesboro in a controlled scrimmage last Thursday at the Norton Avenue field. Although Whitesboro had a larger team than Kirkland, the Panthers proved that they “came to play” and gave Whitesboro a rough afternoon.

ith thousands of people living here, being born here, going to college here, working here, or just passing through, choosing one from time to time for a column is far from arbitrary. In this case we will profile the Leonard family, who lived at 63 College Street for 110 or so years. Specifically, this part will feature Dr. Arthur Gray Leonard who was a prominent geologist in North Dakota, Missouri, and Iowa from the 1890s until his death in 1932. Born here in Clinton on March 15, 1865, Leonard’s parents were Mary Louise Raymond Leonard and Delavan Levant Leonard, an 1859 Hamilton College graduate from Lockport, New York. Mary Raymond was the daughter of Dr. Samuel Whittlesey Raymond, who arrived in Clinton with his family via teams of oxen from New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1809 at age two. Samuel’s parents were John and Ruth Sunday Poetry Reading Series South Shore Arts in Little Falls.

50 Years ago Sept. 3, 1949 The opening of the Junior and Senior High Schools has been postponed until Sept. 14 by the Board of Education. This will allow the completion of three more rooms and give Junior High teachers a chance to get their rooms ready. Aboard the SS Independence sailing from New York City for Italy on Sept. 9 will be Linda J. Robinson of Fountain Street. She will be a participant in “The Experiment in International Living” and will go as a student from the Rhode Island School of Design. Drivers entering Chenango Avenue from Kirkland Avenue will find things a little easier now that the power poles have been moved back and the Village has widened the entrance. This spot created its share of bottlenecks last winter. About 200,000 New York drivers whose operator’s licenses expire Sept. 30 must prove that they have adequate eyesight to renew their licenses. The state motor vehicle commissioner points out that the 200,000 are the first operator’s licensees that are required to comply with the new vision test law that went into effect in July. 75 Years ago Sept. 7, 1939 The WPA dismissal program in the Utica district was felt in the Town of Kirkland for the first time at the end of August when eight men employed on the Keyes Road project were laid off. These men have worked more than 18 consecutive months. Mayor C.B. Van Slyke last week paid a personal visit to the owners of
Waring Raymond. Interestingly, three of Samuel Raymond’s sisters, Mary, Julia and Abigail, would become wives of John Kirkland, a nephew of Rev. Samuel Kirkland. After living in a uncompleted house on Utica Street, the Leonards moved to a farm on Post Street near Franklin Avenue. Samuel Raymond married Sarah Bowne in 1837 and had eight children. Samuel Raymond was the first owner of 63 College Street, built in 1851. This home stayed in the Leonard family into the mid-1960s. A granddaughter of Samuel Raymond, Ruth, married Ebenezer Lamb, who lived in the 63 College home until the mid-1960s. But let’s return to Arthur Gray Leonard, who was born here but raised and attended school in Salt SCENE, page 9 several of the stone trucks operating from the quarry at Oriskany Falls, warning them that if the truck drivers did not slow down and show more consideration for the laws of the Village, state police would be procured in an effort to make them do so. The proposed dog food company that a few weeks ago announced it might locate here has almost definitely decided to make Clinton its home. The name selected will be Common Sense Products, Inc. Hayes National Bank was entirely out of $1 bills Saturday and was unable to obtain them in Utica. Consequently, there were innumerable $2 bills and 50-cent pieces in circulation on that day. 100 Years ago Sept. 9, 1914 The Clinton Hook and Ladder Company and the Clinton Hose Company, accompanied by the Clinton Band, went to Hamilton on Monday to attend the firemen’s tournament. In spite of the unfavourable weather, the firemen had a rousing celebration. Some miscreants broke into a car near the freight house one night last week and took a number of knit sweaters from the Clinton Knitting Company. Herbert Peckham, contractor and builder, has equipped his shop with a saw, planer, etc., which will greatly facilitate his work. The outfit has its own power plant and is portable so it can be easily taken from one job to another. While the average hop picker finds it difficult to pick two boxes a day, a man from Vernon is reported to have picked six and a half boxes in one day recently, and he never had any previous experience. This sounds like a fish story.

ACCIDENT (continued from page 1) colliding head on on French Road. Police say that a vehicle heading southbound driven by Robert Schoonmaker, 26, of Clark Mills, was traveling at an unsafe speed when it collided with another vehicle driven by Matthew Elliott, 45, of Clark Mills, traveling in the opposite direction. The collision forced both vehicles off the roadway. Elliott had to be extricated from the vehicle and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was treated for head and arm injuries. Authorities said that Schoonmaker left the scene, but reported to the Police Department later that day, where he admitted to driving the car and fleeing the scene. Schoonmaker was charged with a number of violations, including reckless driving, driving at excessive speeds and driving on the wrong side of the road.
Library Notes Reading with Others By Chloe Ford, Teen Columnist, Kirkland Town Library
A
lthough reading is an activity most often practiced in solitude, involving other people in your reading is quite popular. Whether you join a book club or just discuss the lives of characters with a neighbor, listening to the opinions of others can be stimulating and educational. Not only do friends aid in how to read, but also in what to read. This month, I’ve asked a few of my friends of various ages and whereabouts what their favorite books are and why. After collecting the titles, I am certain that I have a lot of reading to do, and I hope you find that you do as well. Emma Zulch, a freshman at Bates College, had trouble picking just one book to recommend but she finally settled on “Angels and Demons,” by Dan Brown. This book is the first out of four books with the same protagonist. In “Angels and Demons,” the Vatican City is threatened by an ancient brotherhood that gets a hold of an important scientific discovery and plans to use it to destroy Catholicism. Emma calls the book an “adrenaline filled, punch-you-in-the-gut-drama” and goes on to say, “I walked away with a greater understanding and respect for the field of physics and the beliefs, strengths and history of the Catholic Church.” Ezra Mead, a junior at Clinton High School, decided on “A Farewell to Arms,” by Ernest Hemingway. The story is set during the Italian Campaign of World War I and follows American Frederic Henry who serves as a Lieutenant in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army. Ezra describes Hemingway’s writing as “nice and simple” and says, “I liked the book as it showed a side of World War I that

people don’t usually know about.” Lia Ferguson, a freshman in high school in Columbus, Ohio, suggested “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” by Jonathan Safran Foer. This focuses on a nine-year-old boy living in New York City who sets out on a quest to discover the connection between a mysterious key and his late father, who passed away in the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. Lia says, “I loved it because Foer was able to perfectly capture the essence of a nine year-old’s mind and the spontaneity that one has at that age.” She describes the story as “intriguing, poignant, and unexpected.” Jake Thiele, a junior at Clinton High School, recommended two books. The first, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” is one of five books in a comic science fiction series. Its plot is a bit complex so I will not attempt to fit a summary into one short paragraph. Jake says, “I liked it for its entertainment, readability, rereadability, and all of the references in numerous places that derive from that book.” The second book he suggested was a children’s book “Frederick,” by Leo Lionni. We often forget that children’s books are not solely for children, but can appeal to people of all ages. Jake says the book is one of his favorites because, “it shows what imagination can do.” Katherine Elacqua, a senior at Notre Dame, chose “Les Misérables,” by Victor Hugo. This novel focuses on the lives of many different characters and the hardships they face during the French Revolution. It has been adapted for the screen and the stage. Katherine says, “It’s very captivating, due to the drama caused by the small, interconnected world that all the characters live in.” She recommends it to anyone interesting in reading a “dramatic and timeless classic.” Katrina Granger, a junior in high school in Lansing, Michigan recommended “1984,” by George Orwell. This is the story of a future world in which the government watches and controls everything, war is perpetual, and individualism is thought of as a crime. The protagonist of the story holds a job where he is in charge of “historical revisionism,” or rewriting past newspaper articles so that the historical record supports the current party line. Katrina says, “I liked it because it gave great insight into what society may become in a future where the government controls everything.” In the past, I have felt as though I did not have enough good books to read. But by exploring the bookshelves of my friends and family a little bit, I now have an abundance of books on my “to-read” list. I will probably never get the chance to acquaint myself with them all. Knowing that some quality time with books is in my future, though, is good enough for me.

One Big Very Happy Acee Family
Photo courtesy of Tony and Tina Acee The Happy Acee Family from Clark Mills, came together for a family reunion on Sat., Aug. 23, at the Kirkland Town Park. About 150 family members returned from all over the country, back to their roots in the Clark Mills area to share hugs, kisses, Lebanese food and memories of years gone by.
The eldest member and one of 14 children, all born and raised in Clark Mills, was Katie Acee Lewis, 93 and now residing in Colorado with her two daughters. She made the trip back home to celebrate with her family, now four generations strong.

Water and plant food is inserted into the base of the structure and is distributed at the top to trickle down to individual areas where plants grow. According to Lomanto, an experienced gardener who is still new to the system, it’s an easier, more enjoyable way to have access to fresh produce on a regular basis.

Joe Lomanto stands with vegetables and his new Tower Garden. By Staff The end of August is a time when harvesting is at the forefront in the minds of local growers. With drastically varying weather patterns, crops are often unreliable, but Joe Lomanto is not worried. He has a
secret weapon that stands about 5 feet tall on his front patio—a tower garden. “You’ve got zucchini, you’ve got tomatoes, you’ve got cucumbers, everything,” said Lomanto, picking vegetables off his new vertical gardening system called Tower Garden. “It costs hardly anything to run and it’s good for years.” Lomanto was introduced to tower gardening through his daughter, Holly O'Connell, who sells the products from her home in North Carolina through a company called Juice Plus+. True to the promise of the Tower Garden’s marketing campaign of 25– 75 percent more yield than traditional garden, Lomanto’s tower bloomed this month with lush, green leaves and plump vegetables, where his groundplanted garden was empty. “See why I’m doing this?” said

abandoned hive. On a recent weekend, a strange noise drew neighbors of the Kirkland Town Library to investigate the grounds. What they found was something that was somewhat familiar. A bee hive in the same location as the last one, which had caused concern to librarygoers and administration alike. The honeybees, now cordially known as the “bookish bees,” appeared to be performing the action known as bearding, according to local experts. Bearding is when the weather is too hot and humid for the bees and they hang off the outside of the hive in a large cluster trying to stay cool. It is called bearding because it looks like the hive has a beard made of bees. This is a phenomenon that occurs during hot summer months. Those who consulted on the first hive relocation attempt for the Kirkland Town Library do not think it is the same bees as last time, merely a different colony that needed a new home. It is apparently a busy time for bees because goldenrod is in bloom. The Library hopes to move the bees soon, but it may entail the removal of some of the library’s roof. Beekeeper Fred Demko, who investigated the first hive, has begun the process of relocating this colony. A catcher box was placed on the roof. He hopes to capture the queen and lead the other bees away to a safer home with minimal damage to the structure.

Young Local Musician Chases Jazz at Oberlin
THE CLINTON COURIER 6
Wellin Museum Reaches Out With Educational Programs

J
ake Ford is known throughout the music community of Clinton, whether he is accepting of it or not, as a very skilled and gifted musician. Some even use the word prodigy. However, Jake Ford is no prodigy in the traditional sense of the words meaning: a young person who is innately talented at something. Ford, who graduated from Clinton Central School this past June, may have some affinity towards music, but he has dedicated himself to the guitar since a young age. Almost every member of his immediate and extended family are involved in some way with music. He practices and plays more than any other young musician in our community and has earned his place at the top and the respect that comes with it. This fall, Ford will be studying jazz guitar at Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. Ford chose Oberlin because of its small size and competitive atmosphere. There are around 12 guitarists in the program at any given time and to be there is an honor and a challenge. “I think it is going to be a very stimulating environment even though it’s not near a big city,” Ford said. “It’ll be interesting because I’ve never been in a competitive music environment before, you know? I’ve had lots of guys to play with, but not like people who want to do jazz and want to be the best jazz musician they can be.” Ford’s decision to study jazz guitar at Oberlin is not very surprising if you look at his rearing. Both of his parents are involved in the genre— his father is a jazz pianist and his mother a jazz singer. Growing up in that environment, a household filled with the music of the jazz greats, the style became second nature. There were many musical instruments to choose from growing up, but Ford settled on the guitar for one simple reason. “I was really into Metallica. Still am. Metallica is cool,” he said. Ford takes guitar lessons from Carmen Caramanica, a local jazz guitarist who is quite accomplished. One of the instructor's most enthusiastic advocates, Ford will go as far as to say “Everyone should take lessons from Carmen.” He has also studied under Michael “Doc” Woods of Hamilton College who, Ford said, has been indispensable to his mental expansion when it comes to thinking about music.
When asked why he focuses on jazz, Ford replied, “I don’t really know, I just kind of started doing jazz and it’s what I do now… It’s spontaneous, but also confined in a way. There’s enough structure to it and that makes it exciting all the time. “Rock players are spontaneous, but jazz has endless possibilities and there’s just the right amount of structure and space I guess,” he said. Even though he has chosen to pursue this genre, Ford doesn’t feel confined by jazz. He is also interested in other genres of music such as folk and bluegrass, and he hopes there will be courses at Oberlin to accommodate his other musical focuses. Ford is looking forward to a wonderfully new and engaging environment at Oberlin, and hopes to learn and prosper as a musician and a person during his time there. He is plenty excited and only a bit nervous entering this new chapter in his life, suitcase and guitar in hand. Have a tip? Know someone doing something that deserves recognition?

Students at the Mohawk Valley Resource Center create textile designs using Indian techniques. By Staff
T
he Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum at Hamilton College has been working to spread culture and art education throughout the region. Last month, as part of the museum’s educational outreach program, College staff journeyed to the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for an interactive day
of hands-on work. The class took part in visual thinking strategies exercises. Students spent time looking at artwork, explaining what they saw and providing visual evidence to support their conclusions about the work. “[The program] offers a great opportunity to look at artwork, make connections, and develop oral communication skills,” said Megan Austin, manager of educational programming and outreach for the museum. After the instruction, students were given a lesson in printmaking using woodblocks from India and created textile print works of their own. The lesson was created in conjunction with the Wellin Museum’s previous exhibition “Refocusing the Lens: Pranlal K. Patel's Photographs of Women Working in Ahmedabad.” It is the latest example of the museum trying to reach outside the borders of the Hill to inspire others. Earlier this year, the museum opened its doors to Clinton seventh graders to explore a Civil War display. During that visit, students also practiced visual thinking strategies in an effort to supplement their Common Core curriculum. Currently, Wellin Museum is setting up its new feature, "Alyson Shotz: Force of Nature," which opens next month.

he yin and yang dynamics of Susan Yaworsky and Debby Hepburn’s business relationship could be described as a perfect storm, but that wouldn’t take into account the
intense planning and forethought that went into their new venture. The 50-50 partners have launched a new, college-search consultation enterprise called A Write Fit, aimed at taking
GRAND OPENING
the pressures out of senior year. Coming from varying perspectives— Yaworksy’s years parenting and Hepburn’s teaching background—the dynamic duo delivers a collectively unique skillset as a resource to parents and students. Yaworsky has put all four children through the Clinton Central School system. All of them were top-ten graduates in their classes and managed to excel at the collegiate level. Oddly enough, she thoroughly enjoyed the process of hunting for colleges with her kids. “I’ve been accused one too many times of spending too much time in Barnes & Noble looking at the college books,” said Yaworsky, who also holds a degree in Elementary Education from SUNY Oneonta and years of teaching experience herself. “I just love it.” Hepburn has just retired from 27-years of teaching at Clinton High School. Her passionate care in the classroom has left a lasting legacy among many of her former students. “I love my students and I have been successful getting to know, from their perspective, who they are … and helping express this through their writing,” said Hepburn. “Many of the students have kept up with me into their 20s and 30s, so I know how their lives have worked out.” The final puzzle piece to fall into place were Yaworsky’s organizational and business skills. Since one of the partners was still finishing her final year at CCS while plans were being made, Yaworsky’s management was able to tame this fantasy partnership into a reality. Without her guidance, Hepburn admitted she was “completely overwhelmed.” “I thought, ‘Wow, if she would take me on, this would be jackpot,’” said Hepburn. Previously, Yaworsky had kept a certain distance from Hepburn in order to preserve the teacher-student relationship with her children going through school. “On the November 15th of last year, the day that [my youngest son] Jack submitted his early decision application to Vassar College, I showed up to school with two pints of Ben &
Jerry's,” said Yaworsky. “I said, ‘Stick a fork in it. We’re done.’” From there, a friendship began to blossom. And from that friendship, a business relationship formed. On July 1, the day Hepburn was officially retired, they launched the project and have been steadily busy ever since. One of the first things that Yaworsky and Hepburn will tell clients who come in for a consultation comes as quite a shock. Though many consider this one of the most stressful periods of a young adult’s life, they want families to enjoy the process of selecting and journeying off to the right university. For many, it is the last quality time parents and children will have to spend together. Each client is treated as an individual. The process begins with individual meetings with parents, then with the student, before moving forward into application preparation and narrowing down school choices. The term “safety school” is out—the idea is to not waste the student or the university’s time. “One of our goals is to help reveal each student’s authentic self, focusing on what makes each one unique,” said Yaworsky. With an empty nest and newfound time with retirement, the timing of A Write Fit couldn’t have come more comfortably for both women. What is abundantly clear is how much fun the partnership is having. Bubbling with excitement, they complete each other’s sentences and laugh at inside jokes. It’s an energy they hope to pass on to each of their clients that comes in. With so much attention needed on each individual, the idea is to start small, focusing initially on the Clinton market where they are most comfortable. “We want to give our energy and our time to Clinton kids first,” said Yaworsky. “We’re not adverse to other areas, but we feel a strong connection to the kids of this community.” Nodding, Hepburn added, “They’re my beloveds.”

He went to Oberlin College in Ohio and graduated in 1889 and received a master’s degree from Oberlin the next year. After working a few years, he entered Johns Hopkins University and received a Ph.D. with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1903. Arthur served as assistant state geologist of Iowa, assistant professor of geology at the University of Missouri and Professor of geology at Western College before moving on to the
THE CLINTON COURIER 9
University of North Dakota in 1903. Up until his death from heart disease in Grand Forks, North Dakota, on December 17, 1932, Arthur stayed in the University of North Dakota geology department. He also held the title of North Dakota state geologist during those years. He took part in various field surveys and studies on such subjects as lignite coal, clay, gravel, and the possibilities of oil and gas. His greatest contribution to the science aside from that as a teacher was “undoubtedly his addition to the basic knowledge of the geology of lignite coal, their origin, and the relation of the lignite-bearing beds to the geologic time scale,” according to letter written by a North Dakota geology colleague of Leonard’s announcing his death. Another tribute to Leonard found in the Oberlin College Archives stated Arthur was “modest and retiring in all his contacts with the public, among his profession, he welcomed every opportunity to conduct his investigations out of doors, mingling study of the earth’s structure with that of the life that teems upon its surface.” In a May 1931 letter to his alma mater, Oberlin, Arthur described his summer field activities. “We traveled by team and wagon, with complete camping outfit and food supplies to last for weeks when we were away from towns,” he wrote. “We also had a saddle horse for the field work.” Continuing, he added, “I had charge of a U.S. Geological Survey party working much of the time in Montana, we often had difficulty in getting through the rough badlands and in fording rivers. More than once our wagon stuck in mid-stream.” Arthur, his brother, Fred (1889), and sister, Kate, (1898), all went to Oberlin. Further cementing the Leonard name and accomplishments at North Dakota in 1965, the University dedicated the Arthur Gray Leonard
Hall, which houses the geology department. Each year the Leonard Award is given to an outstanding alumnus. At the dedication Dr. Leonard was called the “father of geological education in North Dakota” and also
“a typical eastern gentlemen” who “adapted quickly to western ways, was an excellent horseman, and cut a striking figure on a horse.” Leonard married Katherine Gue of Des Moines, Iowa, in 1901. The couple had no children.

Clearinghouse in order to do so. The organization partners with institutions to better understand where their processes excel and fall short. For schools like CCS, the Clearinghouse tracks student success through college-based on their student identification number used for high school testing. Every first and fourth college attendance year for each class, the High School will be notified on many students are still enrolled and how many have graduated. “What we want to do is look at all the data to see how well we’re doing,” said Lee. Alumni success, of course, doesn’t come solely from academic achievements. Social and emotional factors come into play, which are more difficult to examine on a chart or line graph. Through an additional survey system, the School will also reach out to students individually, asking more personalized questions, like “What helped you prepare for college?”, “What do you wish the High School would have done differently?”, and “What could have made your first year better?” Tracking students down to answer questions becomes an immediate problem. Currently, the only information the High School keeps on file is students’ home addresses, and, as Lee put it, “not a lot of people respond to surveys.” Social media, via Twitter and Facebook blasts, are being looked at as alternative ways to maintain High School to alumni relationships postgraduation. Partial to a baseball movie analogy, Lee describes the testing and survey methods for measuring alumni success as a balance between a number-based “Moneyball” approach and the more instinct-driven “Trouble With the Curve” analysis. Keeping track of students after they graduate is not mandated by the state, but Lee called it “a good practice.” Time spent now on gathering information could have huge benefits down the road. While Clinton will be one of the first in this area to explore this idea of selfchecking its success rate, the concept is far from new. Many districts across

the state have been tracking and analyzing data on post-graduation readiness. Lee was introduced to the idea of alumni data keeping through a conversation he had with a fellow student in his doctoral program at the Sage Colleges. He learned of an Albany area school district that had embarked on a similar project. Not only was the district able to get a better sense of their college graduation rate, they then began using that data to back-check through a students’ elementary, middle and high school career paths. They then could pull out key benchmarks and build successful student profiles based on their specific region and academic climate, down to the number of AP courses or elementary milestones needed to succeed later on. Queensbury Central School is another district that Lee cites as having an influence on Clinton High School’s approach. Not only does the Queensbury district collect data for internal use on a continual basis, they also publish these reports on their website so parents and community members can stay informed and engaged in how their students are performing each year. “We’re behind where others have started,” said Lee. “We’re trying to backlog as much data as possible so that we can start building a clearer picture, faster.” Lee is optimistic about what the data collecting will prove about Clinton High School readiness standing against state standards. He does expect to find surprises like the student who met all the suggested benchmarks, but struggled in a higher education scenario. Eventually, the project could evolve and have further implications. A college and career seminar course for seniors, where alumni come back to talk as guest speakers, is one option Lee suggested that could happen within the next couple years. What the District could do with the information is limitless, but the first step is getting to where they can use it. “The tough part is that we’re just starting this, and we’re not going to get real, accurate data for four years,” said Lee. “Right now, we’re kind of in preseason where we think we’re really good, but until we put our team up against someone else’s team, we won't really find out what’s going on.”
