New and improved

nything look a bit different around here? There was nothing wrong with the old Sequel, really – but this college is moving ahead, and its magazine should, too. So we turned in the Sequel for a bit of a facelift. As far as facelifts go, this one was pretty extensive. We’re using more photos, and bigger ones, so you get a chance to see what’s going on at Paul Smith’s as well as read about it. The pages are smaller (but there are more of them, so there’s just as much news). And we’ve added color. We’re also giving you different types of things to read. In this issue, we’re inaugurating a cooking column that will give our faculty and students a chance to show off some of the amazing things they cook every

day in Cantwell. Chris Ferretti, a new faculty member, took the lead on the first one. In future issues, we’d like to launch more news-you-can-use features that involve the other divisions. Other new features include the addition of a new column highlighting faculty and staff achievements; Spaces, a photo spread that will feature a different spot on campus every issue; and, on the back page, Parting Shot, which showcases a photo related to the college and gives the photographer a chance to write what it’s all about. There’s a letter to the editor this issue – that’s a new feature, too – giving us a pat on the back for putting a little more meat in the magazine. That’s our goal: to put something in your mailbox that brings you a little closer to Paul Smith’s, and, we

hope, gets you to stick around and spend some time with us. Special thanks go out to the Institutional Advancement staff for their help with this issue, and Maria M. Stoodley, our graphic designer from the Albany area, who did a bang-up job with our redesign. We’re really excited about the new Sequel, and hope you are, too. But what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Let us know! (We need something to fill that letters column with, after all.)

Saving our liquid assets

oo much pavement. Poor farming practices. Development of hillside lots that had once been considered too steep to build upon. These don’t necessarily sound like water-quality issues. But they are. “If we want to take care of the water, we need to take care of the land,” Dan Kelting, director of the Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI), told more than 50 public officials, planners, researchers and others who came to the group’s fourth water quality conference in August. Unintended effects of development such as erosion and stormwater runoff are threatening Adirondack waterways. So Kelting organized this year’s conference, “Why Water Quality? Planning and Development in Your Town,” in order that experts could discuss ways to promote greater sustainability. “Every community in the park needs to face how growth affects our waterways,” Kelting says. “It’s important to talk about these issues now, before it’s too late.” Excess sediment, for example, makes lakes unclear and kills sources of fish food. Phosphorous found in fertilizer used to green up the lawns of all those new vacation homes allows blue-green algae to

grow and flourish in ponds. To reduce the threat, experts said communities need to embrace ways to regulate development of sensitive areas. “Watershed management is not a restriction of property rights, but an investment in our property values,” said Sharon Khan, an environmental economist with the Waterkeeper Alliance who spoke at the two-day conference. Several major development projects are on the drawing board in the Adirondacks. The revitalization of the Big Tupper ski area in Tupper Lake and the construction of a major resort in North Creek, near Gore Mountain, are among the largest – but problems from smaller development can add up without regulation. This year alone, Willsboro, N.Y. has turned down requests from property owners to tear down and rebuild five houses. “Teardowns are an amazing threat to our communities,” said Jim Kinley, Willsboro’s code enforcement officer, at the conference. “In Willsboro, we have garage-mahals.” In addition to conducting research on Adirondack waterways and assisting communities in their efforts to fight invasive species, the AWI holds a conference on Adirondack issues every other year. The

last, in 2005, concentrated on ways to halt the spread of those invasives, which can spread rapidly if not checked and overwhelm other native plant and animal life; the session led to the creation of a management plan for that scourge ultimately adopted by the Adirondack Park Agency. Kelting is hoping this year’s conference is a step in the same direction. “Sustainability is an attainable goal,” Kelting says. “There is still plenty of time to make an impact.” --Kenneth Aaron

OFFICE OF THE ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

Moving the needles

hen John Adler ’81 was a boy growing up in New Jersey, he remembers watching a tree that his grandfather planted go on to become one of Rockefeller Center’s Christmas trees. This fall, Adler, of Chester, Vt., will make a tree of his own go down in history: the forester has been asked by the U.S. Forest Service to harvest the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree, commonly referred to as the “People’s Tree.” “This is a pretty big deal,” Adler says. “This will definitely be one for the photo album.” Though the details of the tree’s whereabouts are cloaked in secrecy, to prevent evergreen poachers from getting there before Adler does, the Forest Service has said this year’s tree is a balsam fir located in Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest. Since 1970, Forest Service members have selected the Capitol tree from one of the nation’s 155 national forests. It’s not the same tree as the national Christmas tree, which is a live tree planted near the White House lit annually by the president and first lady. This year’s cutting ceremony on Nov. 16 will be an elaborate affair, Adler says. Before he fells the fir, the tree will be wrapped in plastic and secured to a crane so it won’t fall to the ground and damage its limbs. Adler’s business, Northeast Woodlands Training, educates foresters on the proper and safe use of equipment, so this media event is particularly important to him. “The Forest Service wanted to be sure whoever is doing the cutting isn’t just grabbing a chain saw and doing it in dungarees and a jacket. That’s why I was asked,” he says. – Stephanie Colby

rrrrrr. That was the sound of a hungry college student – until, that is, the creation of Kat Kash, a new meal card that lets students living at the college’s Saranac Lake residence hall dine at one of several downtown businesses. Each of the 50 residents in the former hotel dorm gets $1,000 a semester to buy food at such places as the Lakeview Deli, Blue Moon Café, Little Italy, Greens and Beans, Eat N Meet, and the Grand Union on Church Street. “I’ve used it just about every day,” says Roxann Mahnk ’09. “I’m actually surprised at how much I’ve used so far.” The card works like a typical debit card: students swipe it at a special terminal installed at participating businesses, and their purchases are deducted from their balance. Someday, the college hopes to expand the program to more businesses and more students; currently, it is available only to students living downtown. “I think it’s been well received,” says Tricia Fontana, owner of the Blue Moon Café. “I see a couple of the same faces all the time, and they seem enthusiastic.” Mmmmm. That’s the sound of a happy customer. – Stephanie Colby

A pep rally on Friday night attended by hundreds of students was capped by the coronation of the college’s inaugural Homecoming royalty: Matthew Arvidson ’09, a natural resources management and policy major from Ashfield, Mass., was named king, and Michelle Daus ’08, a business management and entrepreneurial studies major from Johnsonville, N.Y., was elected queen.

Hello ‘11 – goodbye ‘07!

all has brought a bumper crop of Smitties, as the college ushered in one of its largest incoming classes in a quarter-century. Faculty and staff welcomed more than 350 new students to the classes of 2009 and 2011 for a total enrollment of 915, up nearly 50 students from the previous fall. “We’re very excited about this year, and our prospects moving

forward,” said President John Mills. “Our strong incoming class is really a testament to the innovative education that all of our students receive, and carry with them into their careers.” When they arrived, students were greeted with a host of improvements to the college’s athletic facilities, including a new hardwood gym floor, additional classrooms and a dance and aerobics room. A top-to-bottom renovation of Pickett Hall, which added multimedia capability to more classrooms and an overhaul of the deans’ offices, was also completed by the end of the first month of school. The Class of 2007 graduated on Mother’s Day, May 13, at the

Suite dreams

ou can buy just about anything on eBay. Cars. Socks. Ultrasound results. Thomas “Red” Jenkins ‘96 didn’t think there was a huge market for those, either, until he and his wife Stacey raised $660 for charity by auctioning the gender of their unborn child. “The whole thing started off as a joke,” says Jenkins, a consulting forester who lives in Westhampton, Mass. “Our parents were bugging us for the gender of the baby. And I said: If they want to find out, how can we make them pay?” The Jenkinses figured they might be able to drum up some cash for their town’s new library by putting the sealed results up for bid. About 45 bids later, Stacey Jenkins’ aunt walked away with the prize. She raised another grand by throwing a party to announce the results – and taking donations from the guests. (The Jenkinses, who had been in the dark about the results, showed up, also.) For what it’s worth, the Jenkinses and their two daughters were joined by a boy, Samuel Alden, on September 19. It’s a name they came up with on their own – though Tom Jenkins says he thought about putting the naming rights up for auction, too. “That didn’t fly,” he says. – KENNETH AARON

emember that dorm you lived in way back when? Well, the college is building a new one – and it doesn’t look anything like that. Work started in mid-September on an environmentally friendly, 100-bed, two-building residence hall. The new residence hall, which resembles an Adirondack lodge, will feature single bedrooms clustered in suites and conference space. It will be completed in time for the 2008-09 school year. Healthy growth (see related item, above) and strong retention means the college needs the new dorm, and fast. The existing res halls, the newest of which was built in 1980, are at capacity, so many of the doubles and singles you may remember from yesteryear are currently triples and quads. That’s actually what the rooms were designed to hold, but that’s not what students want. The project needs your help. For more information or to donate, please contact Hillarie Logan-Dechene, vice president for institutional advancement, at (518) 327-6317 or hlogan-dechene@paulsmiths.edu.

Little wings College joins N. American effort to track birds

By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

orie Favreau is moving through the Smitty Creek Watershed like something is chasing her. She hops over a stream, she ducks under a branch. After a few minutes, she reaches a wispy net strung in a clearing. She’s looking for birds entangled in it, but finding none, darts off again, over more streams, under more branches, to the next net. It’s early, about 7 a.m., but Favreau and a student, Krystle Olszewski, have already been deep in the woods for two hours on this July morning. They’re netting those birds as part of an effort to track the population of more than 120 species in the U.S. and Canada. This is the first year that Paul Smith’s has participated in the program, called Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS). More than 500 other stations are also participating in the effort, which is now in its 28th year; the program is organized by The Institute for Bird Populations, a California group. “One of the things that’s really neat about this project is that we’re analyzing the data locally at the college, and regionally and continent-wide by other ornithologists,” says Favreau, an assistant professor of wildlife biology. “Populations go up and down, and that just happens naturally. But this project lets you get the big picture, and not just a blip.” A continent-wide database of vital statistics can help explain why certain

bird populations are decreasing, and help researchers develop ways to halt those drops. It takes time, though, to get enough data to yield those answers. That’s why the Smitty Creek site, about six miles from campus off Keese Mills Road, will be monitored from May to August for at least the next 20 years. In just the first year, Favreau and Olszewski have snared about a halfdozen species of warblers, brown creepers, black-capped chickadees, yellow-bellied sapsuckers and many others. “We want to catch the same bird next year, five years from now, to see how long they live,” says Olszewski, a senior from Manchester, Conn., double-majoring in biology and fisheries and wildlife science. After Favreau and Olszewski finish with their dual patrols – their nets are strung up in a one-mile perimeter covering about 20 acres, of which they each handle half - they meet at a central spot and either put identifying bands on newly caught birds, or log the bands of ones they’ve already caught before. They sit on a blue tarp, scribbling on data sheets

and consulting bird guides as they analyze their catches. They’re looking to identify a wide range of characteristics: species, size, approximate age. Olszewski pulls a dazed-looking brown-and-white bird out of a white bag and reads its ID tag. She’d caught it a half-hour earlier – and it flew back into the same net promptly after it was released. “He probably feels really dumb right now,” she jokes. For Olszewski, the summer job is good experience for the research job she expects to start out in. “Jorie keeps saying I’m going to turn into a bird nerd,” Olszewski says. “It’s neat to be part of the beginning and to be able to go back to the data and see what’s changed after 25 years. That’s the coolest thing about what’s going on out here – this is baseline study that’s going to be added on by students year after year.” S

Spot on Prof’s sunspot study gets international attention KENNETH AARON

Prof. Curt Stager points to Lake Victoria, from which data about water levels helped uncover a link between sunspot activity and rainfall.

By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

ver the course of J. Curt Stager’s career, he’s published plenty of scientific papers. Perhaps you’ve seen “Origin of the superflock of cichlid fishes from Lake Victoria, East Africa.” Maybe you read “A 5,500-year environmental history of Lake Nabugabo, Uganda.” Unless you’re a paleoclimatologist, though, you probably haven’t. Which is why Stager is so excited about his latest research: A climatological study that that may be used by public health officials to prevent disease outbreaks in East Africa. “It’s great to work on something that can change so many lives,” says Stager, who led a research team representing five institutions. Stager and his team found evidence demonstrating that sunspot cycles are harbingers of heavy rainfall in East Africa. That rainfall has typically ushered in epidemics of diseases such as malaria and Rift Valley Fever, which is spread by insects that flourish in wet weather. Because the heaviest rain happens a year before the sunspots peak, and because those peaks occur on a regular cycle – the next peak is expected in 2011-12 – it means epidemiologists can now gird for an outbreak and ramp up prevention measures

Sequel | Fall 2007

before it’s too late. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research in August; not long afterward, the story was picked up by Science, Nature, National Geographic, Scientific American and MSNBC.com, among others. “The hope is that people on the ground will use this research to predict heavy rainfall events,” Stager says. “Those events lead to erosion, flooding and disease. With the help of these findings, we can now say when especially rainy seasons are likely to occur, several years in advance.” Sunspots are mysterious blotches on the sun’s surface that peak on an 11-year cycle. While scientists understand that sunspots indicate an increase in the sun’s energy output, they’re not sure why they appear. And Stager can’t explain why, exactly, sunspots have any affect on rainfall. He does have some educated guesses, though: increased solar energy associated with sunspots may heat both land and sea, forcing moist air to rise and triggering precipitation. It might also induce El Niño events, which increase rainfall in East Africa, as well. Stager got the idea for the research following a trip in 2000 to Lake Victoria with

four Paul Smith’s students. At the time, they were studying lake sediment cores. When those cores were matched against historical data, it became apparent the lake was rising and falling in 11-year cycles. “Since the beginning of the last century, scientists have worked to understand observed correlations between solar variability and Lake Victoria’s water levels,” said Alexander Ruzmaikin, a researcher with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who worked on the project. “This research shows that these correlations are, in fact, not accidental.” While the evidence seems clear to Stager and his team, the link between solar phenomena and weather has been controversial. The latest research has also been greeted with skepticism by some; one NASA researcher told MSNBC.com, “People have been looking for solar cycle effects in climate for 200 years … if they were there, they’d have been found already.” Debate, though, will continue. Stager’s looking three years ahead, when the results on his long-long-range forecast come in. “When you think of climate troubles in Africa, it’s usually drought that comes to mind,” he says. “But you don’t often think of the opposite situation.” S

Rail tale Mike Kudish is on the trail of railroads of yore

By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

1985, Mike Kudish wrote a slim book mapping the location of bygone Adirondack railroad tracks. When he published it, the book weighed in at less than 150 pages. But the now-retired forestry professor wasn’t finished. Not by a long shot. This summer, Kudish released “Where Did the Tracks Go in the Central Adirondacks?” That volume alone, the second in what is now a three-volume set, is nearly 300 pages. The last volume will come out next year - and then he’ll turn his attention to a work on Catskill railroads. The book includes more than 150 handdrawn maps, most of long-defunct rail lines and long-ago-lost ice houses, sawmills and coal towers. “It’s detective work,” says Kudish, an emeritus member of the college’s faculty. “It brings me out into different parts of the Adirondacks that I probably otherwise wouldn’t have seen. It’s like solving a puzzle, solving a mystery.” Others have done books on particular railroads, or the historic impact of railroads on the Adirondacks. Kudish set out on his project because all those maps hadn’t been compiled in one place. Since starting, he’s spent countless hours scouring old books and hiking miles upon miles of old rails, encountering massive artifacts such as 50-foot-high supports for a blast furnace in Standish, or towering stanchions for an overpass north of Loon Lake. “Two gigantic parentheses stuck in a swamp,” he says. The real payoff, he says, comes from his readers. “One of the great pleasures is that people are actually reading my books and running around in the woods trying to find these things,” he says. “I get e-mails or letters or phone calls two or three times a week. Most

COLLEGE ARCHIVES

of them are telling me about omissions.” Charles Herr, who writes a history column for the Weekly Adirondack in Old Forge, relied on Kudish’s work when helping put together an upcoming exhibit on railroads in the Town of Webb for that community’s historical society. “It’s a valuable resource to anyone who wants to know anything about the railroads of the Adirondacks,” Herr says. Kudish views the books as more than a rail reference. His audience consists not only of train buffs but students of area history, who recognize the railroads as important to industry, tourism and other segments of the Adirondacks’ economic legacy. To Kudish, a forest historian by trade, the railroads also brought human hands onto previously uninhabited areas. “I look at railroads, as much as I love them, as a major disturbance to the forest,” he says. It was a disturbance that lasted only about 90 years, until the 1920s. Now, automobiles and trucks have been dominant in these parts only as long as the rails ruled. So does Kudish think that means someday, someone will need to write “Where Did the Roads Go in the Adirondacks”? “I hope so. I’d love to see that,” he says. S

[Q & A] INTERVIEW By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

on’t ask Francesco “Frank” Bonifazi ‘76 whether he whistles Dixie. (He hates that question.) But he will whistle jazz, blues, folk-rock – anything else, just about. Bonifazi, an award-winning professional whistler, has performed with bluesman Deacon Jones, the Oklahoma City Symphony, and appeared on TV; his debut CD, “Air Play,” was released last year. Recently, Bonifazi put his lips together to tell the Sequel how a pre-professional forestry major wound up touring the world with his puccalo (that’s what big-time whistlers call their instruments). How did you get into whistling? Blame my wife. She would hear me whistling all sorts of music around the house and she’d tell me I was better on puccalo than any of the instruments I had spent years trying to master. Let’s make it clear: Your whistling and my whistling aren’t the same. It’s taken years of practice. There’s just a dedication to something so obscure that most people wouldn’t do that. Sometimes, people ask, “Is whistling really music? Or is it some kind of cute trickery thing?” Most whistlers, that’s all that they can do – they have a few things that they can whistle. Ask them to whistle Bach, and they say, “Are you out of your mind?” So, respect is elusive. It’s probably more an issue when I perform as a new guest soloist with bands. Usually, the question is, “I thought you were a musician.” Before I’ve played with these guys they don’t even think I’m a musician. But if you’re a whistler it comes with the territory. You’ve put the musical skills you picked up at Paul Smith’s to good use. Some of my dorm-mates from old dorm #6 will tell you they would find me practicing flute in the bathrooms because of the good acoustics. I also took up saxophone and guitar on my own while I was there.

You play guitar and sing in your act. Yes, these are the things that assure audiences that I’m not a total eccentric, but it’s the whistling that is what people come away remembering mostly. Well, you’re an award-winner. I won first place in the International Whistling Convention’s popular music category in 2003, was a finalist in an international music competition in Europe – I was the only whistler – and my original songs are doing well on the American Idol Underground Web site. What happened to forestry, anyway? I decided to take a different branch. It’s because of the college’s pre-professional forestry program, and my exposure to peripheral subjects like calculus and physics, that I learned engineering was where I should head. I got an engineering degree and worked 25 years for the Hewlett-Packard Co., as a systems engineer, teacher, consultant, and, finally, a product manager. Now I’m working on a graduate degree in assistive technology for people with impairments – hopefully I can invent some new things to make their lives better. You’re an engineer. You’re a musician. That’s a lot of left brain-right brain going on – how does one inform the other? Sometimes they don’t. I think the engineering helps me as I’m arranging and composing and sound-engineering the

music. Obviously, the electronic stuff is more complex and the engineering thinking provides order and process. I’m partial to J.S. Bach – German, organized, it’s the kind of music engineers love…because it makes sense to us. I’m convinced that if Bach were alive today, he would be some kind of new age, jazzy improvisational giant. There was a hit song this summer with a really catchy whistling hook – it inspired one newspaper to write, “Finally! Whistling is cool again!” I love rock music – don’t get me wrong, I do rock music – but probably about the time the guitar became popular, whistling became un-cool. I’ve heard that song [“Young Folks,” Peter Bjorn and John]. I think this is great - a very catchy tune. It’s not super whistling. It’s not world-class. It doesn’t matter. I hope it inspires kids to whistle. You use wah-wah pedals and other distortion in your work, like a guitar player. Lots of grandfathers whistle pretty little tunes. But whistling doesn’t have to be pretty. If I want to screech and distort, I’ll do it. I’m not going to let the guitars have all the fun. Locked into being beautiful and pretty has kind of held whistling back. I’ve already got the equipment to whistle. How can I train? Can you do one note? OK, you’ve now done the hardest part. That’s the point where most people give up. That’s what I like to do with people – perfect that first note as best that you can. Then you’ve got to work on more volume, and roundness of tone…then more notes. If you have a nice reverberant bathroom with tile on the wall, it will help you hear the nuances. The forest isn’t as good a place to learn to whistle but at least you won’t bother as many people – remember to wear orange! S

close-up College plays role in upcoming PBS film on Adirondacks

story and photos By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

om Simon and his film crew are on a rented pontoon boat chugging slowly through the Fulton Lakes chain as dozens of canoers pass him by. The paddlers, just beginning the three-day marathon known as the Adirondack Canoe Classic, huff and puff; he shoots. Their super-lightweight carbon paddles beat the water over and over; a sound man holds a boom mike into the warm September breeze. Teams of one, two and more put on their best thousandyard stare as they head off on their 90-mile

journey; another cameraman dutifully records them. So, sure, it might seem that Simon has it easy, and the paddlers are doing all the hard work. Except the paddlers’ quest ends at 90 miles. And when you compare that to what Simon is trying to do – pack the story of the Adirondack Park, all 6 million acres and 150 years of it, into a two-hour documentary told through the voices of those who live, work and play here – it’s debatable who has the more formidable task.

Filmmaker Tom Simon, above, directing a shoot at the start of the 90 Miler in Old Forge. “The Adirondacks” is slated to air sometime in 2008.

Sequel | Fall 2007

“We can’t possibly cover it all,” Simon acknowledges. “Part of what we do as filmmakers is bring our eyes upon it and interpret it, but try to be as comprehensive as we can be in 112 minutes of television. Which is not a lot. It is daunting. Very daunting.” Simon and his production company, Working Dog Productions, are slated to wrap up work on “The Adirondacks” by year’s end. The documentary, which is coproduced by WNED-TV in Buffalo, is currently slated to air nationwide on PBS in 2008. Paul Smith’s College has been an integral part of the effort: The college has opened its archives to the producers, provided housing for the film crew when it has been in the area and hosted an event to raise awareness of the project. And Celia Evans, a professor at the college and participant in the 90 Miler, is Simon’s main subject on this day. He has followed her and her three crewmates in training and now in the race. College President John Mills has been an ardent supporter because he says the story of the Adirondacks holds important lessons. “This great experiment of melding nature and culture has to be communicated to the rest of the country, and the world,” Mills says. “It’s been a success. But it hasn’t reached its potential. By working together, a community can reach a common ground where humans live and economic growth happens in an environmentally sound way.” It’s that tug of war that has become the backdrop for the documentary. Simon drew particular inspiration from “Contested Terrain,” a 1997 book by Phillip Terrie exploring the struggle between conservation and inhabitation inherent to the park. That element, of people coexisting with nature, drew Simon to the project when it was first pitched to him three years ago. “The concept that this was such a unique place, that it’s a huge wilderness area with significant human populations in it, was attractive to me,” says Simon, a seven-time Emmy winner whose work has appeared on HBO, PBS, A&E and other outlets.

efore devoting the past year to the project, Simon had been to the Adirondacks once on a family vacation. Since then, he’s learned about this place through dozens of interviews with people who know it well – starting with Clarence Petty, the iconic 102-year-old Adirondacker who has been a trapper, guide, writer and environmental champion for decades. When they interviewed him in November 2006, WNED still hadn’t raised as much money as it wanted to start production. But Simon got the green light to shoot anyhow, because, well, Petty is pretty old. Petty was seven when Paul Smith died. They’re inextricably linked: Petty has spent much of his life protecting the environment from humans; Smith was a key agent in getting them to come up here in the first place. Simon notes Smith’s influence by devoting a segment to him in the show. Neil Surprenant, director of the college’s Joan Weill Adirondack Library, says Smith is a natural to help tell the story of the park. “Historically and at the present time, one of the major industries in the Adirondack Park is tourism,” he says. “Paul Smith’s Hotel was one of the very first hotels in the Adirondacks and throughout its entire history was a leader in the hospitality field in terms of quality of the experience you got here and the kind of people you brought in. And those people spread the word about the Adirondacks throughout America.” Smith will be one of more than a dozen segments that will be stitched together to help the world understand just what’s so special about this place. Since February, Simon and his crew have zig-zagged across the

park, regularly trekking up from their base in Westchester County to get it on film. Just as life in the Adirondacks changes by the season, the show will use seasons as a device to tell the story; so far, Simon and his crew have braved a whitewater journey with a guide on the Hudson River, hiked up a mountain with photographer Carl Heilman, interviewed author Russell Banks and taken another look at the Winter Olympic games held in Lake Placid. It’s been hard work – “not every New York film crew could film this,” he says. There’s no need for hazardous-duty pay on this September day, as the three crew members follow the paddlers in the race, also called the 90 Miler. With more than 200 paddlers on the water, it helps to have one to follow; Simon has chosen to watch Evans, who is competing in her seventh 90 Miler, partly because of her jack-of-all-trades abilities (professor, paddler, folk musician) make her a quintessential Adirondacker. “It’s so much a unique Adirondack event,” Simon says, explaining why he wants to film the race. “From a film standpoint, it’s always nice to have a competitive

element, too.” Evans says she was honored to get a chance to represent paddlers in the film. “Since they took about 150 hours of film for a 2 hour documentary, I don’t expect to see much of us, but they were fun and wonderful to work with,” she says. “I’m glad they chose a boat full of women and children to follow during the race because I think it represents what the majority of the folks who come up to do the race are interested in. We work hard and are serious about our paddling, but it’s about being together and community when we race.” Logistically, filming a race with hundreds of competitors loaded into tippy boats is tricky. Evans, on a boat with two other women and a girl, has a wireless mike strapped to her back; the sound guy is forced to pray that it doesn’t go out, because Evans’ canoe won’t stop mid-race for technical adjustments. They do have footage of the team training a month earlier, including some shots aboard their canoe, but the shots of competition will really make this story. On race morning, Simon and his team

spend more time moving their boat into position, and out of the way of the oncoming canoes, than they actually do filming. “You don’t want to screw up the race. The last thing you want is for somebody to file a complaint,” he says. The race is fun, but Simon isn’t shooting a travelogue. In shooting “The Adirondacks,” Simon confronts the challenges facing this area – and the fears that its residents have in sustaining it. Global warming was almost universally mentioned as a major concern. But close behind was economic viability. “There’s a growing gap between rich and poor in society as a whole,” Simon says. “And there is a real threat that the only people who are going to be able to afford the Adirondacks are rich people who have second homes here.” So the experiment continues.

O’Brien and his team have been at it for nearly an hour at this point. But Thursday lunch actually starts long before – food is ordered weeks in advance, and initial prep work starts on Tuesday. Here, O’Brien is balancing pumpkin soup on one arm and frozen quail in another. What he really wants, though, are his mussels. “I ordered 30 dozen, and they sent me three pounds,” O’Brien says. That’s not a problem – “as long as they show up.”

Sequel | Fall 2007

It’s

not even 8 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, but Travis O’Brien has lunch on his mind – and he should, because on this day he’s responsible for putting together a menu for nearly 40 people at the Wally Ganzi Jr. Restaurant Training Center in Cantwell Hall. Since 2005, seniors in the college’s culinary arts and service management program’s luncheon lab have opened the doors of the Ganzi to campus every Thursday, preparing and serving a multi-course lunch. O’Brien, today’s executive chef, has been assigned to prepare a Mexican meal. Here’s what his day looks like. Brooklynite Darlene Estevez prepares a pot of black beans, while adding her own touch to O’Brien’s recipe. She’s added a sachet of garlic, red onion, pink peppercorn and chorizo to the pot. “Like we do at home,” she says. That’s fine with O’Brien, who knows his success is entirely dependent on what his team brings to the table. “Any recipe is more of a guideline than anything else,” he says.

9:47 a.m.

The Ganzi lunches are a reservations-only affair, and maitre’d Amber Stribing of Buffalo is figuring out the seatings. But guests tend to have minds of their own – they come late, or early, or without reservations. It’s a lesson learned every week, as all assignments at the Ganzi are filled on a rotating basis; by the end of the semester-long course, every student has done everything from wash dishes to be executive chef.

About an hour to go before the first seating, and Eric Thierrin, of Long Island, is mopping around the chef’s table where O’Brien’s special guests will sit. “We always mop, all the time,” says Chef Stuart Slutzky, the faculty member who leads the class. “That’s how we keep a clean kitchen.”

With six minutes to go before the first seating, O’Brien describes the day’s dishes to the waitstaff so they can explain the menu. The mussels never came, so the plate on the table in front of Warren, on the far right, is one of the few orders available. Warren isn’t fazed. “I’m used to it. I’ve worked in a couple of kitchens. Nothing ever goes completely right,” he says.

Sequel | Fall 2007

Slutzky (center) shows Evan Nicholson, left, of Rochester, N.Y., and Matt Warren, right, of Boston, the ins-and-outs of the Ganzi’s Micros computer system. Every order taken by a waiter gets entered into the computer, which sends a ticket to a printer in the kitchen. At the end of the meal, the waiters will print out checks on the same system. At $8 a head, it’s a bargain, but the goal is to just break even.

11:09 a.m.

12:06 p.m.

Lunch is in full swing, and O’Brien’s guests – his mother, Marilla, right, and two of her friends – are at the chef’s table. “The only thing I knew him to cook before he started at Paul Smith’s was omelets,” she says. He made a cold peach soup with tarragon one Thanksgiving, which was greeted with skepticism. Until the guests tried it. Now, they don’t ask questions.

Lunch is served. The mussels are long gone. “Some stuff didn’t work out the way I planned, but it still tastes good,” O’Brien says.

12:15 p.m. 12:30 p.m.

Annette Argyros, of Loudonville, N.Y., was in the neighborhood and stops in because she’s heard of the college’s culinary reputation. Is there any way to get a seat? she asks. Stribing is able to match her with another diner who didn’t have a guest. “My favorite part was the lime sorbet,” she says after the meal. “It was tart, but not bitter.”

1:54 p.m.

This is all that’s left. Hannah Hauser, of Stamford, N.Y., is pulling dish duty this week. The waitstaff is eating their meals, the dining room is back in order and the kitchen is nearly clean by now, ready for a taping of a WPTZ-TV cooking segment less than 24 hours from now. “It’s painful for two days, and then it’s over,” O’Brien says.

Utilities are of little use to these solar-powered alums story and photos By Kenneth Aaron | Director of Communications

you aren’t looking for power lines on the way to the home of Maria and Mike Corse ’89, you probably wouldn’t notice there are none. You’d notice the solitude and the trees, and maybe even a deer or two standing in the middle of the road. But it probably wouldn’t occur that the last evidence of the electrical grid disappeared about two miles ago, when you turned down their road. That’s because the Corses and their neighbors, who include another grad from the Class of ‘89, Paul Hetzler, aren’t on the grid.

The Corses live with their two children in Pierrepont, St. Lawrence County, in a home that draws its electricity almost entirely from the sun. Four solar panels perched atop a three-story wooden gantry provide enough electricity to run the place and its washing machine, VCR, lights, computer and other appliances. Just not all at once. “A normal house could not survive on this,” Maria Corse says. Until they moved from West Potsdam in 2005, the Corses were fairly typical energy consumers. They weren’t looking to leave

the grid. What they wanted was quiet. “Every time you wanted to talk outside, six cars would go by,” says Mike Corse, a forestry alum who is a hydrologic technician for the U.S. Geological Survey. So they looked around and found the perfect 37-acre plot about 10 miles away. Perfect, that is, other than the lack of electricity. “We fell in love with the area, the land, before we made the sacrifice,” Corse says. Maria Corse doesn’t like that word. “I don’t find it hard at all. It’s easy,” she says. “Winter can be a challenge,” says

Mike, pointing out that northeastern sunlight is less potent in the colder months. “We may need to run the generator and be a little more conscious of our usage.” A little more conscious for them means being a lot more conscious for just about everybody else. Their four panels generate 200 watts of electricity an hour. That means a single panel can generate enough electricity every hour to run one 50-watt lightbulb. Excess electricity is banked in a set of four 125-pound batteries, which provide power when the sun isn’t shining. Everything but the panels are in a dimly lit annex to their house. Mike Corse would be the first to

admit he is not an expert at explaining how it works; he just knows it does. The Corses aren’t zealots: they drive cars and rely on plenty of modern conveniences. But every watt is accounted for. They have a refrigerator, but it runs on gas. There’s a washing machine, but it is an ultra-efficient model that consumes just a teaspoon of detergent per load. Because they need to hand-pump water into a storage tank every time they do laundry or shower, they’ve opted to have a composting toilet they fill with sawdust rather than water. Maria insisted on keeping her KitchenAid stand mixer, but

other appliances went. “I have a really good excuse for not ironing now. Because I can’t,” she says. Phantom loads – electricity consumption by devices that otherwise appear off – are a big deal when every electron counts. “Before we go to bed, everything gets unplugged,” Maria says. “In a typical house, you don’t have to worry about that kind of thing.” Still, a growing number of Americans who are switching off the grid and turning on alternative sources of power, such as solar, wind or other technologies. Richard Perez, the publisher of Home Power magazine, estimated three years ago that 180,000 homes are off-the-grid. He says the number is climbing by a third every year. His own home in Oregon is six miles from the nearest telephone, water, sewer or electricity line. Why do it? “Freedom. There’s a long list of things you are free to do,” says Perez. Such as generate your own, reliable, paid-in-advance electricity. Reduce one’s reliance on oil. Or, the reason Perez says is most common: to live wherever you want, regardless of where the big power company provides service. The Corses’ children, Ian, 13, and MacKenzie, 10, are spending the afternoon reading quietly and doing chores around the henhouse and garden. Ian reports making the switch willingly – although he misses long, hot showers. (Mike does, too, although his job keeps him on the road and at enough hotels that he can enjoy that luxury on a somewhat regular basis. Over time, he says, he expects to add more

Eco logic While the Corses and Hetzler cut the cord, they didn’t go Little House on the Prairie. You, too, can make a big difference without going even as far as they did. There are lots of simple steps one can take to go greener – many of which Paul Smith’s College, in fact, has already taken.

Above: Tom Huber in front of an oven that heats foods using nothing more than mirrors and the sun’s rays. The oven gets to 400 degrees.

Use compact florescent bulbs. “We use them everywhere,” says Stephen Cobb, director of International Paper John Dillon Park, the college-managed wilderness park outside Long Lake designed for people with disabilities. The park is entirely dependent on solar power and generators; in two years, those generators have run for less than 11 days total, partly because of energy-saving measures such as these.

Unplug. That computer in stand-by mode? Your television that is off, save for the glowing red lamp? Both are still on, and sucking electricity. So unplug them. Or put them on a power strip that can be switched off. “People tell me, ‘My electric bill is so high.’ Unplug everything. Unplug your TV. Unplug your stereo,” Maria Corse says.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Every week, the four members of the Corse family generate just a half bag of garbage. The rest is composted, or recycled, or otherwise reused. The college, too, is on that track: This fall, Student Activities Coordinator Jill Susice has rejuvenated recycling programs in residence halls and academic buildings, and a composting program is in the works. (This magazine, and many of the college’s publications, have long been printed on recycled paper.)

Buy locally grown food. Organics don’t require tons of pesticides, says Tom Huber, a college staffer who also teaches a course on renewable energy, and they take less fuel to transport. The college has started buying local meat, poultry and produce for other reasons, says Patrick Clelland, dining services director: It’s simply good to promote the local economy.

Switch electricity providers. Off-the-shelf solutions mean you don’t need a degree in electrical engineering to go solar any more. But it can be even simpler to purchase renewable energy credits from a company. That’s what the college did this spring, when it began buying all its electricity from a wind-energy provider.

panels to provide more power.) Their switch may be extreme. But they expect others to at least become more conscious of sustainability in the years ahead, as energy costs rise and the specter of global warming looms larger. “When a Prius becomes a status symbol,” Maria Corse says, “that will be cool.” Their neighbor down the driveway, Paul Hetzler, agrees. “People are going to have to change,” says Hetzler, a graduate of the college’s

ecology and environmental technology program. “This has been my dream for years and years. I really wanted to make a smaller footprint. My ideals tell me I have responsibilities here, and not just rights.” Hetzler, an arborist and writer, lives simply, but, like the Corses, isn’t divorced from the modern world – just separated from it a bit. On a sunny day, he says, he can use his inkjet printer. His small, two-story house is outfitted with a small generator to supplement the solar. As he

walks around his expansive property with his dog, through a bursting vegetable garden in the last days of summer, and stopping at a marshy pond in the back, he talks about his desire to someday have a guest cottage for visitors to experience the land themselves. “I can’t tell you how much I love it here,” he says.

aste. That, more than anything, defines a chef. It is a skill not easily learned or mastered, and for some people, it can take a lifetime. At Paul Smith’s, entering freshmen are taught basic fundamentals of cooking and cutting, but most importantly, they’re trained to taste professionally. Why? Because one’s palate is just as critical as a well-honed Wüsthof knife or six-burner Viking range. Developing one’s taste is about recognizing the differences and characteristics of different spices and herbs, and is also about recognizing how these characteristics interact. Tasting skills are the foundation of a culinary education and define the very best chefs. Judicious use of flavor will elevate a simple fillet of boneless chicken breast from the mundane to the sublime. It’s the difference between using a cookbook and inventing or modifying a recipe – cookbooks are great, but the act of creating something new is what truly inspires chefs. To help our students build their palates, we spend months teaching them about flavor prints and other food characteristics. After examining traditional American fare, students take a seven-week class in global cuisine that brings them through Mexico and Latin America to the Pacific Rim, China and Japan. This continues into India, North Africa, Europe, Scandinavia and Russia. What they get is a world tour that is a brief whirlwind of taste and technique. The key idea is to introduce basic flavors and combinations that are unique to a particular type of cooking, such as regional or cultural, or to a recipe or technique that is handed down for generations. When armed with these combinations of flavors, textures, and techniques, our students will be able to make or adapt recipes for any cuisine no matter where they decide to work in the world. Adaptation is important. It opens the door to modifying recipes if ideal ingredients are not available and still get restaurant-ready results. The following recipe combines some of that knowledge along with seat-of-the-pants inventiveness. I put this dish together while staring at the shelves in a Cantwell Hall classroom pantry. Black beans are found in many parts of the world, and can be made into a meaty or spicy soup because of their bitter flavors. Or it can be a lighter soup flavored with citrus and finished with tortillas. This particular recipe was generated by an idea to harness the flavor of the black bean with the aromatic and creamy flavor of coconut. The rest is the recipe you see here. S

» Chris Ferretti is an assistant professor and chef instructor in the college’s Hospitality, Resort and Culinary Management division.

Procedure:

1) Rinse beans and soak overnight in the refrigerator. Put in a large bowl and cover with about 2 inches of water. The next day, drain beans through a colander and discard liquid. 2) In a large pot, put in beans and water, cover with two inches of water, and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the beans get a touch tender. It may take as long as 2 to 3 hours before the beans become tender. (Note: Do not add any salt, herbs or lime juice to the beans while they are cooking.) 3) In a saute pan, preheat and add oil. (If using a non-stick pan, 1/2 of the oil may be used.) Add the onions and lower the heat so the gas flame or electric register is two notches below maximum. The key is to sweat the onions by developing flavor.

No color or caramelization should occur. If the onions dry out and begin to color, add one to two tablespoons of water. Continue to cook the onions until they soften and go slightly translucent. Add the minced garlic and the green peppers and continue to cook until the peppers are soft, but still bright green. 4) Remove from heat and place in a bowl. To this mixture, add thyme, oregano, bay leaf, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, and white wine vinegar. Reserve this mixture in a small bowl. 5) Once beans are tender, continue to taste them. They must be soft without being mushy, with no grainy aftertaste. Pour off excess water, leaving just enough water in the pot to keep the beans wet. Now add the reserve mixture and allow to simmer, to

further develop these flavors. 6) Next add coconut milk and dried coconut flakes. Continue to cook until the flavors meld, about 10 to 15 additional minutes. Turn off heat and cover. 7) Remove about 1/4 of the soup and put in a blender and puree finely. Then add back to the soup. This will add further body and taste immediately. 8) Mince fresh oregano, fresh thyme and cilantro, and the juice of three limes. Add to the soup and serve immediately. 9) As a decoration, lightly steam the corn tortilla, then slice very thin and lay on top of the soup. (Similar to using croutons.) Another alternative is to sprinkle a very light coating of dried coconut over soup.

aul Smith’s College is deeply grateful to the following alumni, parents, employees, friends, foundations, government agencies and corporations who have supported us during the 2006-2007 fiscal year (July 1, 2006-June 30, 2007).

Calendar

H istory was made once again when the brothers of Beta Alpha Lambda, Delta Alpha Phi, Tau Kappa Beta and Upsilon Pi fraternities and the sisters of Phi Gamma Psi sorority gathered for the fourth annual Greek System Alumni Reunion held in conjunction with Alumni Reunion ‘07 in early June. T he brothers, sisters and friends from the various classes, spanning back in time over a half century, enjoyed swapping tall tales of Paul Smith’s campus life in days of olde, revisiting old haunts and participating in the multitude of Reunion activities over the weekend. Our organization elected to help underwrite the expenses of conducting Alumni Reunion ‘07 by becoming benefactors of this popular event. e were all grateful this year for the nearly perfect W Adirondack weather throughout the entire weekend. Many of us took advantage of the clear skies to canoe on the lake, enjoy the many nearby hiking trails and simply walk along the path of the thousands of forgotten footsteps – the former “fraternity row” sidewalk. It was a particular pleasure for the Tau Kappa Beta brothers to see progress beginning on the historic Harriman House restoration project. P lans are in the works for the Greeks to return to campus for Alumni Reunion ‘08. If you’re a bona fide member of Paul Smith’s former Greek System, 1952 through 1980, and would like additional information about our current activities, please contact Michael Burton TKB ‘70 at mrburton@cnymail.com. – Paul mcmorris ‘78

[ PARTING SHOT ]

Call of the wild

SARAH NORTON ‘09

Lisa Hansen ‘09 and Sarah Norton ‘09 both

traveled to South Africa this summer as part of a study-abroad program; this is what the fish and wildlife science majors were thinking when they saw this lioness. SN: This was our last day in the Kalahari Desert. There was a sense of sadness as we got up and packed. We were driving slowly toward the exit. First we saw two lionesses that had taken down an eland (an African antelope) and were eating it. And then we drove a little further and this lioness was right there, right on the side of the road.

LH: We had seen lions in captivity that were impressive. Even when they weren’t even roaring,

just making noise, you could feel it in your chest. And we heard a wild one a few nights later, so we had that fear. But when we saw these it was amazing to see how alert they were. They were nothing like the ones we had seen in enclosures. Her eyes were darting between two vans and her ears would twitch at any noise that you made – it was amazing.
