Star Lake Leadership Training Seminar Story Page 1 Student Orientation Co-ordinator Departs Page 1 JEFFERSON CHRONICLE VOLUME 27, NUMBER 1 NOVEMBER 6,1991 Making a Difference An Approach to Wellness Star Lake Participants Star Lake A Weekend of Leadership & Renewed Spirits For those of us fortunate enough to attend. Star Lake's Leadership Training Seminar gave us an opportunity to brainstorm with some of the best available minds at JCC. Approximately 30 people attended the leadership con- ference, representing a diverse group of club representatives, SGA representatives, senators, faculty, staff and advisors. The overall mission of the group was to attempt to better meet student's needs through student government and club participation. By teaching leadership skills to those in- volved, we have the ability to better meet those needs. Most of our two day stay was spent acquiring those specific skills by attending seminars on subjects such as, Group Dynamics - communicating in small groups, Resource Management, the importance of self-image and praise, as By Laarl Elliott well as learning the \nuts and bolts\ of club organization. Our activities concentrated on role playing and active partici- pation in group discussions. When not attending training classes we were free to explore the beauty of the Potsdam Star Lake Campus and surrounding area. Mountain biking and canoeing were two forms of recreation available to us. along with a night hike and campfire. Our trip also gave each of us the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with all of our fellow participants. We also had the pleasure of seeing the debut of 'Becky and the Rappers'. The weekend at Star Lake has allowed us to bring back to our campus new ideas, the leadership to forge ahead with those endeavors, as well as some renewed spirits, (1 know mine is). And, although I am terrible with names, (right. School Giving You a... Headache ? There are three common kinds of headaches: tension, migraine, and headache follow- ing head injury. Tension headaches are the most common. They are caused by tension in the muscles of the scalp and neck which is brought on by emotional stress, such as exams or hassles with other people. Sometimes tylenol helps. Exercise and muscle relaxation techniques also help. The only long lasting cure for tension headaches is to Inside Alcohol Awareness Week Activities - Page 3 Sports Corner - Page 2 Environmental Report - Page 2 Horoscope - Page 4 Music Review - Page 4 Please Recycle This Paper change the stressful situation so you are once again on top of it. If you are unsure what the conflict might be consult. Matt Lambert, Student Life Counselor, Rm 402A. Migraine headaches are caused by a dilation of arteries of the brain. The dilation of the arteries increases the amount of blood in the brain, which increases the pressure on the brain, which causes the headaches. More than half of all migraine sufferers report that other members of their families have migraines, so heredity seems to make you vulnerable to a migraine. How- ever, most migraine headaches are actually started by emotional stress. The same relaxation exercises that work for tension headaches may work for a migraine. If nothing else, just relaxing in a darkened quiet room will help some. There are also medica- tions that will help for migraine, so see your doctor. If you have a headache following a head injury (within 24-48 hrs.) see a doctor immediately. General tips for a Headache: 1. try rest and relief from stress 2. heat and massage 3. lie down in a dark, quiet room (even if only for a few minutes) 4. use Tylenol - 2 tablets every 4-6 hrs. as needed. Nancy?), I will never forgetthe faces of the wonderful group I am proud to have had the opportunity to brainstorm with. I did come away with a few nagging questions though: \What was Nick's secret?\ \How did Matt wet his pants?\ \What is a warm fuzzy?\ \Did Mike ever find Pandora?\ The Wellness Committee is a group of concerned faculty and staff attempting to meet the needs of the student body. The Wellness Committee was founded on the premise of a total approach to human development including all areas, physical, spiritual, emo- tional, social, intellectual, and occupational growth. In attempting to meet that need, the Wellness Committee recently sponsored a health fair, Wednesday, October 2nd. The health fair included health screenings, such as blood pressure, body fat measure- ment, and diabetes screening. \It was a success, with good media coverage,\ said Tina Blair, JCC Orientation Co- ordinator and Chairperson of the Wellness Committee, who was interviewed on WWNY's Noon News. Fridav September 27th. The Committee's latest endeavor is the organization and promotion of Alcohol Awareness Week, Monday, October 21 to Friday, October 25. The campus will play host to a variety of activities, in- cluding a mock trial, film series, a State Police display and speakers. The week cul- minates in a \Blow Out Party\ featuring nonalcoholic SufKefnecWrr 04\.™^ far fWf'll Clarence Thomas Fights for His Title Gidget Q. Rafos Some may call it sexual harassment. Others may call it fatal attraction. No matter what the situation concerning Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill may be referred to, one thing is for sure, a battle for one man's title has been fought. Clarence Thomas, a Yale University graduate, won support from President Bush earlier this year with a nomina- tion to the Supreme Court. Bush, who was rumored to only have elected Thomas to win black votes stated \I elected Clarence Thomas, not because of the color of his skin, but because I think he is the best man for the job\. Thomas was well on his way to the Supreme Court when out of the closet came a skeleton. This skeleton bore the name Anita Hill, a collegue of Thomas's for over 10 years. Hill claims that during 1981-83, Thomas made sexual advances toward her while they worked together at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Com- mission. During this battle Thomas had many people come to his defense including the J.C.C. students who voted 80% in his favor, 10% in favor of Anita Hill, and 10% undecided. So if the Supreme Court doesn't take you Clarence, J.C.C. would gladly welcome you aboard. Student Orientation Co-ordinator Sadly on November 17th Jefferson Community College will be saying good-bye to Tina Blair. Tina, who is the current Student Orientation Coordina- tor, has chosen to join the Air Force where she wants to be a linguist. Although she hasn't completed her second year on By Land Elliott drinks, food and music by 'Chauvet and Watts'. The Committee is off to a good start. The issues that they are attempting to address are vast. Students need to be aware that the Committee was founded to meet their needs, We need to take advantage of their efforts to foster our own well-being as individuals and as a college community. Wellness activities are co- World Food Day 1991 Education and Hunger By Laarl Elliott ordinated through the Student Life Office. Students should feel free to stop in at any time, as well as checking the bulletin board outside the SLO. All campus activities will also be highlighted in the Chronicle each issue. Hats off to the Wellness Committee. A perfect example of striving to make a difference. World Food Day was observed on our campus Wed- nesday, October 16th, ex- ploring such topics as the dairy industry crisis and hunger at home. The theme of this years event, which is observed inter- nationally, was \The Hunger Puzzle: Adding the Interna- tional and Macroeconomic Pieces.\ World Food Day is an annual event sponsored by JCC since 1985. It provides food for the Watertown Urban Mission, the Salvation Army, and aids the Karicheni Primary School near Nyeri. Kenya. This year's speakers in- cluded. David R. Reid, Chair- man of the Jefferson Com- munity College World Food Day Committee, with a video presentation, and Ronald R. Palmer, a history instructor, who discussed how debt in underdeveloped countries relates to hunger. Mary Ellen Gingerich, mana- ger of the Watertown Agappe Shoppc. explained how self help stores can furnish a long term solution to hunger. Catherine M. Moore, a home economics program leader with I lie Cornell Cooperative Ex- tension Association of Jeffer- son County, offered a local perspective on hunger. Rebecca S. Riehm, a JCC sociology instructor detailed how community involvement can combat the hunger problem. Thomas J. Kriger, a JCC political science instructor moderated an evening program focusing on milk production and the pricing controversy that affects farmers and con- sumers. As Mary Ellen Gingerich, manager of the Agappe Shoppc stated, the mission of World Food Day was to encourage individuals, \to think globally and act locally, becoming part of the solution, not the problem.\ At the present time, most of the hungry, inter- nationally as well as locally, are families with children. Many of them are social refugees or \hidden trash\ as they are often referred to. The reality is that hunger exists not only as a physical entity, but in the heart and soul of each person ex- periencing its effects. In conjunction with World Food Day, JCC is sponsoring a canned food drive from now until November 8th. This years goal is 1,380 cans, which coincides with the number of full time students enrolled at JCC. All food collected will be distributed to the Salvation Army, Watertown Urban Mission, and the Community Action Planning Council's Food Pantry. JCC is sending a symbolic message of caring and committment to all mem- bers of our community. Tina Blair Departs By Patrick Logan campus, the contributions sne has made to Jefferson Com- munity College will be a reminder of her dedication for years to come. Over the past year, Tina Blair has devoted herself to the betterment of our school. She has done this through her involvement with the faculty and the student body of Jeffer- son Community College. How much can one student con- tribute to Jefferson Com- munity College, you may ask, in the case of Tina Blair the list is literally unlimited. During her freshman year at Jefferson Community College, Tina chaired the Social Cul- tural Committee. This com- mittee now decides the social program for the upcoming year and how the budget wUl be spent. Even though she was only a freshman, she was placed into this role because of her ability to follow through with a commitment and because of her ability to follow through with a commitment and because she aspires well towards leadership roles. Also during the last year, she served as a designated pur- chaser at the N.A.C.A. Con- vention and as a student representative on the A.D.A.O.C. Presidential Search Committee. One of her more noticeable accomplish- ments for the students, however, was her role in re- turning Spirit Week to the campus. This week long event, which had been absent from this campus for years, was reintroduced by Tina to bring the students and faculty (&»« Tina Blair Page 3)
