FALL 22 COLLEGIAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF IS THE FIRST FROM FULTON CAMPUS

By Caitlyn Major, Editor-in-chief

Current staff writer Emma Deloff will take over as editor-in-chief of the Cayuga Collegian starting at the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester. She’s been working as a staff writer for the Cayuga Collegian for the past two semesters, and is a Freshman on the Fulton campus. She’s the first editor from Fulton that the Cayuga Collegian has ever had.

By Emma Deloff, staff writer Cayuga Student Trustee, Kyle Weisman, has been recognized as a recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence.

Weisman is a student at Cayuga, majoring in Psychology.

Weisman says a total of 64 colleges were given an opportunity to nominate two students, (or more, depending on the size of the school), for the Chancellor’s Award. Weisman paraphrased that those issuing the award were seeking students “with a determination to Kyle Weisman achieve their dreams, an ability to lead, give back to the campus community, and tap into creativity and serve as a role model for other students.” He also mentioned they sought those who “persevered through the challenges of learning through the pandemic.”

“I honestly never thought that I would be nominated let alone receive the award,” said Weisman. “A few months ago, I was informed that I was being considered for nomination. Maybe a month or so after I had been notified that I was nominated for the award and that now I would be reviewed by a SUNY committee and possibly selected.

At the end of March, I received a letter

“Emma is one of the most dedicated staff members that we have,” said current

Editor-in-chief Caitlyn Major who is graduating next month. “She’s an amazing writer, and always pulls through when we need her most.”

Deloff said that she has two more semesters before she graduates from CCC, and then it’s very important to her that she goes on to study at a university. Currently she’s looking into Wells and Oswego to major in Creative and Professional Writing. Her career goal is to become a fiction novel editor for a publishing house, a freelance copy editor, and a novelist herself.

“I’m a huge book lover (fantasy) and plan on having my own personal library when I’m older,” said Deloff. “I believe my passion for reading helps with both my time in college, my future career goals, and my personal interests altogether.”

Deloff is a novel writer, and has multiple manuscripts that she plans to publish with official firms once they are complete.

Cayuga Coach John Rizzo congratulates Hazel Martinez after he smashed a solo homer in an 11-5 win April 21st over Tompkins Cortland CC. Cayuga took the lead early in the first contest, with Ough’s triple scoring Alec Cutter in the second inning and Ough later scoring on a single by Zach Mock. Solo homers by Mike Norton and Hazel Martinez pushed the lead to 4-0 in the third, and Norton launched a two-run homer as part of a five-run fourth. Ough’s inside-the-park homer in the sixth closed the scoring.

Norton finished two-for-four with three RBI and two runs, Martinez was three-forthree with a double, triple and homer, three RBI and two runs, and Cutter, Mock and Ough each had two hits. Coleman threw three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out five.

Tied at two after the first inning, the Spartans took the lead in the second game with a four-run second inning, highlighted

by RBI singles by Fernando Espinal, Phil Messina and an RBI triple by Martinez. Alex Wurster and Martinez smashed RBI doubles in a three-run fifth inning that gave Cayuga an eight-run advantage.

Martinez led Cayuga at the plate, going four-for-four with four RBI and two runs, and Espinal and Messina each finished with two hits. Ough allowed two runs in five innings, scattering four hits and striking out seven.

A deep lineup and strong starts on the mound by Will Coleman and Luke Ough led Cayuga Community College Baseball to a home sweep of Tompkins Cortland Community College Thursday, April 21.

The Spartans took control early in both contests en route to wins of 11-5 and 10-2 over the Panthers at Falcon Park, giving Cayuga seven straight wins. The Spartans are now 15-5 on the season.

Coach John Rizzo said the doubleheader demonstrated that the team has a deep roster featuring players who can contribute as soon as they step into the lineup.

“We were able to get everyone some at-bats and keep everyone sharp. It showed our depth, that we can use everyone on this team,” said Rizzo. “We’re more than just the one-through-nine hitters. We’ve always got guys who can step in and swing the bat.”

I was listening to my favorite radio station, K-LOVE, and the announcer Lauren was talking about emotional deposits and withdrawals.It brought me to the thought of how we as human beings naturally have emotions whether we tap into to them or not, they are there.

We can emotionally deposit daily things as simple as showing emotional support for someone by listening to them or assisting them

ARE THERE MORE DOORS OR WHEELS IN THE WORLD?

There is only one answer to this question: There are more wheels than there are doors. I’m so confident about this, I don’t even know why it’s a debate. Yet this is all over my social media feeds.

Caitlyn Major EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Let’s think about this- every single car in the world has at least 5 wheels, including the steering wheel (this isn’t including tractor trailers, buses, trucks with extra wheels and spare tires).

According to Google, it’s estimated that over 1 billion cars exist right now.

There are approximately 49 million motorcycles, 1 billion bicycles, and 397.4 thousand ATV’s.

Even boats have steering wheels, and there are wheels on the trailers that they get towed on. There are unicycles, wheel barrels, tricycles, scooters (both electric and not). Big city’s use electric scooters called birds as a pretty common form of transportation. There are also subways, trains, and even airplanes have wheels on them.

People argue that houses have multiple doors, but (again, according to google) there are approximately 2.3 billion residences in the world (including houses and apartments).

Just adding up regular cars and bicycles equals that same number.

Even then, residences are filled with wheels. There are wheels in drawers, wheels on desk chairs, wheels inside of your fridge, etc…

Also, wheels have a shorter life span than doors. They have to be replaced more often than doors do, which brings the overall number of wheels up. At the end of the day, wheels win by a long shot and you can’t change my mind.

mess. Being mindful of where your energy is being poured into or deposited is an act of responsibility for one’s emotional stability in protecting your emotional space which is healthy to keep positive interactions going with individuals over all.

Which brings me to emotional withdrawals.

It’s OK to protect your space and withdraw when there are too many deposits emotionally.

Eventually it’s natural to hold back to keep boundaries respectful. In a well-balanced interaction, there should commonly have both withdrawals and deposits keeping a balance so there is no overdaft.

So withdraw from negativity so you can live freely in your purpose and in your character; loving yourself; your differences; and your beliefs. Deposit into yourself and others with boundaries that are realistic and healthy for both.

Weisman expressed that he is proud of this achievement; he said “As the Student Trustee, I feel that this award affirms that I managed to maintain a healthy balance between academic and extracurricular obligations.” He shared gratitude toward SUNY for acknowledging him

and considering him a worthy recipient of the award, deeming him both a student role model and a positive influence overall.

“Being the Student Trustee was a learning experience and I appreciate the recognition of my overall contribution to Cayuga as both a student and as the Student Trustee.”

He will receive the physical Chancellor’s Award during a ceremony on Tuesday, April 26th.

CAYUGA COLLEGIAN ADVISOR APPOINTED

By Emma Deloff, staff writer

It’s been brought to the attention of the Cayuga Collegian that a new advisor will be assigned at the beginning of the Fall ‘22 semester.

Corey Zeller is a successful writer with two published books— MAN VS. SKY and YOU Corey Zeller AND OTHER PIECES— both of which are poetry. His work has appeared in multiple places such as The Kenyon Review, The Missouri Review, Ninth Letter, Academy of American Poets, Verse Daily, and many more; he just recently obtained his MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in Creative Writing.

Zeller informs that he’s “been writing poetry since [he] was very young and has been lucky to have been successful in publishing.”

His main goal in his writing is to “entertain the people [he] loves as well as to get [his] work placed in journals and magazines so [he] can be part of a larger conversation.”

Despite being published in many locations, he still aspires to have more of his work available to the public so he can become even more of a positive influence.

“I took over the role of advisor for The Cayuga Collegian because I want to help students who love writing become better writers,” he says, “and because I want to be a part of the Cayuga community.” He has expressed sincere gratitude to be offered this position and eagerness to take on the role.

His first decision as advisor has been to appoint a new editor-in-chief for The Cayuga Collegian to start in the fall.

Zeller has expressed interest in the writing of the The Cayuga Collegian’s members, going as far as to offer help and edits to those who are willing to share their personal work with him. He’s clarified that his “background is in creative writing,” so he’s willing to make a connection with the creative writers of The Cayuga Collegian (among the other types of writers) to help him understand how the newspaper functions. His devotion to the staff will help ease him into the newspaper’s community and build good relationships with its writers.

His enthusiasm to be an active member of the The Cayuga Collegian will prove him to be a good addition to both the newspaper and Cayuga’s community. The Cayuga Collegian is excited to welcome him.

The student-run newspaper, The Cayuga Collegian, is looking for writers, editors, photographers and sports writers for the fall semester.

No experience necessary, just an abundance of enthusiasm. Some positions may come with a paycheck if you qualify.

To join, email The Cayuga Collegian at czeller@cayuga-cc.edu.

Editor-in-chief Caitlyn Major’s mission for this issue was to find out exactly how Cayuga’s new photo permission policy is worded. She emailed many individuals in the administration and received no official response.

SOFTBALL SPARTANS SPLIT ROAD SERIES AT SUNY BROOME A strong start from pitcher Kiara Lovejoy and a three-run homer by Doray DiLallo helped Cayuga Community College Softball earn a split at SUNY Broome on Tuesday, April 12th.

After losing the first game 5-4 in a contest that saw multiple lead changes, the Spartans rebounded for a 4-1 win in the second game.

The split leaves Cayuga 4-6 on the season.

Coach Chris Amoia said a couple defensive mistakes and leaving runners on-base hurt in the first game, but the team came back more focused in the second game.

“We played the second game with more urgency, and were definitely more focused with fewer mistakes,” he said. “Lexie Cottrill threw

well in the first game, and I was very impressed with Kiara’s performance in the second game.

She pitched extremely well while going the distance, and kept us in the game.”

Trailing 1-0 early in the first game, the Spartans took a 2-1 lead in the third inning when DiLallo smashed a home run, scoring Abigail Marinelli. The Hornets reclaimed the lead with two runs in the fifth, but Cayuga took the lead back in the sixth when DiLallo scored on a Cottrill single. A double by Taylor Hunter scored Cottrill, giving the Spartans a 4-3 lead.

The Hornets plated two in the sixth to take a 5-4 lead, and Cayuga couldn’t score in the seventh.

DiLallo went one-for-two with a homer, two runs, two RBI and three walks, and Hunter and Cottrill both went two-for-four to lead Cayuga’s offense in the first game.

Cayuga took the early lead in the second game, with DiLallo’s three-run homer in the first inning scoring Lovejoy and Marinelli.

The Spartans made it 4-0 in the second when Brittney Waters scored on an error.

The 4-0 lead was more than enough for Lovejoy, who scattered six hits over seven innings while striking out six. DiLallo, Lovejoy, Marinelli and Tori Mandel collected hits for Cayuga.

NORTON’S WALK-OFFS LEAD SPARTANS TO HOME SWEEP

The Spartans celebrate after Michael Norton, far right, singled home Fernando Espinal in the bottom of the 9th against HVCC for a 2-1 win on Friday, April 15th.

Outfielder Michael Norton’s walk-off sacrifice fly in the first game and extra-inning single in the nightcap gave Cayuga Community College Baseball a sweep of Hudson Valley Community College on Friday, April 15th Only one day after taking two road games against the Vikings, the Spartans completed the season sweep of their divisional opponent with victories of 4-3 and 2-1, the latter coming in nine innings. Cayuga is now 13-5 on the season and 8-2 in divisional play.

Cayuga Coach John Rizzo said starting pitchers Greg Osterhout and Nate Coffey had strong outings, and he complimented the team for pulling out three close games — the second game Thursday and both games Friday — against the Vikings.

“We faced two good pitchers today, but we kept battling at the plate. We showed that we have what it takes to win close games,” said Rizzo. “The team saved me today in the second game. I made a couple bad decisions, and they bailed me out when it mattered.”

In the first game, Osterhout held the Vikings scoreless for five innings while the Spartans plated two in the second on a sacrifice fly and a bases-loaded walk. Cayuga made it 3-0 in the fifth when Fernando Espinal scored on Tyler Korsky’s ground

out, but the Vikings tied it with three in the sixth.

Knotted at 3 in the bottom of the seventh, Hazel Martinez led off with a walk and advanced to third on a double by Korsky.

With one out, Norton smashed a deep fly out to center, scoring Martinez for the win.

Osterhout threw 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and striking out 10 for the no-decision. Leroy Glaum got the win, throwing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Espinal went two-for-three with a double, run and RBI. Just like the first game, neither team mustered much offense in the second contest. The Spartans had runners in scoring position in each of the first four innings but didn’t score. Meanwhile, Coffey allowed an early run but took a no-hitter into the sixth inning.

Cayuga finally punched through in the sixth when Logan Sheasgreen scored on a double by Anthony Driscoll-Sadusky. After Cayuga threatened in the eighth, Norton’s two-out single in the bottom of the ninth scored Espinal for the 2-1 win.

Coffey threw six innings, allowing only one hit while striking out four. Glaum and Connor McMahon threw three innings of scoreless relief, with McMahon picking up the win. Norton finished two-for-five and Luke Ough was two-for-three with a triple.

LINEUP LEADS SPARTANS TO ROAD SWEEP OF VIKINGS Hazel Martinez hit two homers in the Spartans’ road sweep of Hudson Valley CC on Thursday, April 14th and a three-run homer in the first game and a solo shot in the second game.

A potent lineup that plated more than 40 runs in two games led Cayuga Community College Baseball to a road sweep of Hudson Valley Community College on April 14th.

The Spartans crashed five homers Thursday while overcoming early deficits in both games to score victories of 21-11 and 23-9 over the Vikings. The wins push Cayuga to 11-5 overall and 6-2 in division play.

Trailing 3-0 in the first game, the Spartans roared back in the second inning with seven runs, highlighted by Leroy Glaum’s two-run double and Hazel Martinez’s two-run single. Cayuga added six more in the fourth, with back-to-back homers by Michael Norton and Logan Sheasgreen. The Spartans added to their lead with Fernando Espinal’s solo homer in the sixth and Martinez’s three-run homer in the seventh.

Tyler Korsky and Martinez each went four-for-six with three runs scored, with Martinez knocking in five runs. Sheasgreen went four-for-four with three runs scored and three RBI, and Espinal went three-for-five with four runs and three RBI. Cayuga took a first-inning lead in the second game on Martinez’s solo homer, but trailed 7-5 through four innings. In the fifth, the Spartans reclaimed the lead with six runs,

​SPRING PHI THETA KAPPA INDUCTION ​CHECK OUT THESE LIBRARY EVENTS

By Emma Deloff, staff writer

Cayuga’s Student Engagement department has informed students of several upcoming events, such as the block parties for both campuses and other affairs, and one of them consists of the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society Induction Ceremony (also referred to as PTK for short). Students who are considered eligible to join the honor community should have been previously contacted through their Cayuga emails by the PTK society itself with an invitation and access code that allows them to join.

Emma Deloff STAFF WRITER

PTK is one of the multiple honor programs available to Cayuga students (and other two-year colleges) that provides beneficial opportunities to its members; as said by the President and CEO of the PTK Honor Society, Lynn Tincher-Ladner, students can “immediately apply for scholarships, find transfer resources, enroll in free courses to build professional skills, and more.”

Each student is assigned an advisor who supplies them with the necessary information relevant to PTK, such as upcoming events they should attend or answers to their questions. Students are encouraged to get involved in the Phi Theta Kappa community by showing support on multiple social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,

LinkedIn, and TikTok); the different medias are where PTK shares the related accomplishments of its members. “Post a picture with your new membership certificate, tag @phithetakappa, and use #IAMPTK so we can help you share this exciting accomplishment,” says the CEO in the confirmation email.

After accepting the PTK invitations, students are given complimentary tassels for their commencement ceremonies and are allowed to further purchase graduation stoles, cords, and medals. There is a fee of $65.00 to be accepted into the honor society and the items are extra. Students will receive their official PTK certificates (along with their other items) in the mail following transactions in five to seven weeks, as informed by the email.

When the payment process has fully transferred, students should receive emails sent to their inboxes that guide them on what to do next.

On April 28th, there will be a Phi Theta Kappa induction ceremony held on the Auburn campus in the Bisgrove Theater at 5:30 P.M. Each college has a local branch specific to the university itself, and Cayuga’s respective section is known as the Omicron Gamma Chapter.

The turnout for the ceremony is uncertain as of now, and there will likely be more details to come to further inform new members. If students have any questions or would like to know more about the event, they are free to contact Sheila Myers through her Cayuga email: Sheila.Myers@cayuga-cc.edu.

It is a great achievement for students to have been recognized by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and Cayuga sincerely congratulates all of its newest members who will be inducted into the community this April 28th.

The Cayuga Community College will be attending the CiTi BOCES annual career fair on Friday, April 29th, at their Main Campus in Mexico, NY from 9 AM to 1:30 PM. CCC’s attendance at this career fair is designed to serve a multitude of purposes for up and coming professionals, regardless of their current credentials or future aspirations. Whether you are ready to enter the workforce immediately, need to complete just a few credits, or are at the beginning of your post-secondary educational journey, CCC is ready to help you meet the criteria that your career goals require.

CCC Admissions Representative, Caitlin Cooper says “Cayuga brings materials that allow for students to see just what types of careers that they can obtain with a degree from one of their various programs.”

Offering pathways to endless career opportunities, including Business Administration, Nursing, Computer Sciences, Early Childhood Education, and many more, CCC has plenty of opportunities to explore.

Cooper claims that ‘Cayuga Community College also works around the needs of their

students’, paving several different pathways to obtaining certifications and degrees at a variety of levels. In addition to a plethora of two-year associates degrees, CCC also allows for students to obtain various levels of one year certifications, or microcredentials.

Regardless of your current academic credentials, CCC can help you to take action on your professional goals. Visit Ms. Cooper and the Cayuga Community College Booth at the CiTi BOCES Career Fair next Friday, April 29th to discuss what path suits you best!
