About Intelli-Time

Your new alarm clock is equipped with Intelli-Time technology which is pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intellitime instructs the clock to self set itself once batteries are installed. The Intelli-Time feature requires an internal memory battery to operate correctly. This battery is located in the Intelli-Time memory battery compartment on the bottom of the clock and is pre-installed at the factory. We suggest replacement of the backup battery every 5 years. We recommend the replacement of the backup battery in 1-2 years if the unit is not powered on for a long period of time. Do not replace the memory battery unless the clock is plugged in and the display is operating with the correct time.

After Canton

Spring 2008

SUNY Canton Alumni Association & College Foundation Publication

Honoring Mrs. Sergi

If you attended college in Canton anytime after the mid 60s, you likely knew Maria Sergi, known affectionately to thousands as Mama Sergi. Sergis Pizzeria opened on Main Street in 1966, and Mrs. Sergi warmly welcomed a countless number of students and community members to the restaurant throughout the years. When the Sergi family began considering a way to honor Mrs. Sergi, who passed away in 2006, they wanted to do something to appropriately reflect her personality, lifestyle, and values. Thats when the idea of a gift to
the SUNY Canton Early Childhood program began to form. The College now plans to unveil the Maria Sergi Early Childhood Teacher SAM AND HIS KIDS (l to r) Pat 86, Sam Sergi, Lisa 87, Center in Mike 00, and Frank 87. Cook Hall following a pledge of $100,000 from the Maria, this is the right thing to do. Sergi family in Marias honor. Now her name All four of Maria and Sam Sergis children will be forever linked to the place on campus attended SUNY Canton: Pat 86, Frank 87, where students go to become Early ChildLisa 87, and Mike 00. hood professionals. My mothers life was always about her She would like this, said Sam Sergi, family and about kids, not only her own kids Marias husband. For our family and for continued on page 2
What was Growing in the Greenhouse?
Several decades ago, the College featured a greenhouse on campus. In the 30s and 40s, Henry and Macy Davis worked there for more than a dozen years. In 2006, Henry was asked, What was growing in the greenhouse? He paused before 1947Henry Davis in the greenhouse responding. At face value, the answer was simple. But perhaps his brief hesitation served to alert those around him that there was much more growing in the greenhouse than just flowers, plants, and vegetables. Henry started working in the greenhouse as a newlywed with Macy. Their love for each other grew there as well as their love for SUNY Canton. The College was also the place where, in the winter of 1941, he began taking evening classes, which served as preparation for World War II and eventually led to his career in electrical construction. As I write this in the winter of 2006, Henry Davis is alive and well at the age of 95. He is vibrant, humorous, and an engaging conversationalist. Hes the type of guy that makes time fly when youre around him. I imagine many of his co-workers throughout the years appreciated his wit and storytelling skills. As you read this, it saddens me to inform you that Henry has passed away. Humble throughout his life, he requested that we not tell his story until he was gone. My hope is that this article collects dust for many years before being published. What was growing in the greenhouse? Lifelong bonds, loyalty, love, careers, opportunities, and oh yeah, some plants, vegetables, and flowers. Henry understood that we wanted to tell everyone that would listen about the modest college gardener who quietly did his job, served in World War II, worked in electrical construction for 27 years, and continued on page 3

An Ugly Stat Revealed

Despite remarkable progress in almost every facet of measurable success, there is one statistic that neither the College nor the Foundation is pleased to reveal. Only eight percent of alumni currently give back. While that percentage actually represents a steady increase over the past few years, it is still below comparable institution standards and well below the Foundations goals. We dont want to continue experiencing a slow, steady climb, said Vice President for Advancement David M. Gerlach. We want to experience a dramatic jump, and quite honestly, I think were ready to make that jump. Gerlachs enthusiasm is buoyed by a recent report from an independent research firm revealing a high level of both alumni and student satisfaction. And daily meetings with alumni by Gerlach and Alumni and Development staff members reveal a similar eagerness to make a change. The percentage of alumni who give has

increased in the last three years from five percent to six percent to last years eight percent. The Foundations assets have reached an all-time high of over $14 million, and last year SUNY Canton ranked 13th among 32 comparable SUNY schools in total annual giving. Yet despite many of those positive numbers, the low percentage still looms large. Gerlach and his staff offer a quick and easy solution through this edition of After Canton. Give now. Give any amount, suggests
This is like a ball game that we know we can win. We just need a little help, said Gerlach.
Ideally, Gerlach and his staff would like to see nearly 30 percent of alumni donating, but for now their goal is to reach 15 percent this year. This is like a ball game that we know we can win. We just need a little help, said Gerlach. Weve proven that we can compete with other schools in total dollars raised, now we just need a higher number of donors, regardless of amount, to help increase that percentage to truly reflect our alumnis loyalty and dedication. Alumni/Development Director Peggy Levato added, If 500 alumni return the envelope with donations of $20 to $50, that would be enough to start a new scholarship and enable a deserving person to transform their life with a SUNY Canton education. est of Maria and Sams children. He played lacrosse at SUNY Canton and eventually played for the Italian National Team during the 2004 European Championships in Prague and again during the 2006 World Lacrosse Championships in London, Ontario. Mike returned to his alma mater in 2006 and has been working in the athletic department ever since. This is a nice way to have our mothers name and our familys name on campus, Mike said. Im happy that its going to be affiliated with children and students. Community members and alumni can help the Sergi Family reach their $100,000 goal. The second annual Maria Sergi Walk/ Run is slated for July 26 in Canton and there are other upcoming opportunities to become involved.

but other children as well, said Lisa (Sergi) Vecchio 87, who is now a mother of three. We viewed this as a way to honor my mother and support the College in their efforts to educate and train the people who would be taking care of children. The Sergis gift is extremely generous and will greatly impact our Early Childhood program and its students, said Early Childhood Program Director Maureen Maiocco. This is a wonderful tribute to Mrs. Sergi. The College has played a big role in the life of our family, said Pat Sergi, who also has three children of his own. Its not only where we all went to school, its also been a big part of the success of our family business and the community we love. The Sergis have always been active in the community. They quietly donate their time, support groups, and often provide pizza for fundraising efforts. Our parents taught us well so we could be fully involved in this great community, said Frank Sergi, who recently became engaged. In fact, we are very fortunate that we live in the North Country and are surrounded by so many great people. Mike is the youngSUPER SIX The grandchildren of Maria and Sam Sergi.

Maresca Challenge Exceeds $200,000
The Maresca Family Challenge has generated a remarkable response and has now raised more than $208,000 for nursing student scholarships. At some point in everyones life, they will need the assistance of a nurse, Development Officer Marti King MacArthur pointed out. The importance of quality nursing is being recognized with each and every donation to this challenge. Weve received significant donations from companies, organizations, foundations, and individuals who want to make sure we continue to educate and train exceptional nursing students. $100,000 pledge by Dr. Michael and Barbara Maresca in May 2007 and has received $25,000 donations from the Massena Memorial Hospital Foundation and Canton-Potsdam Hospital. The Maresca Family also donated four $1,000 scholarships to nursing students for the 2007-2008 academic year.
To join the Challenge, contact: Marti King MacArthur 74 & 78 Development Officer macarthurm@canton.edu Fun Fact: Marti is the daughter of Professor Emeritus Harry King and the daughter-in-law of President Emeritus Earl W. MacArthur.
Most recently, the College has received gifts toward the Maresca Endowment from the Kinney Drugs Foundation, Donna 84 and Dr. Jeffrey Doyle, and Professor Emerita Margaret Vining. Dr. Doyle is an anesthesiologist at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center. The Challenge was created with a interrupted for two and a half years to serve in the Navy during World War II. He fought in four different locations overseas, including the fierce Battle of the Bulge in Belgium in 1944 where nearly 80,000 Americans were killed, maimed, or captured. Like so many veterans, he didnt speak much of that time. The greenhouse eventually closed in 1949 because of complaints from local businesses that they had to compete with its output of produce and flowers. That led Henry to begin his electrical construction career. He helped build numerous facilities and buildings throughout the North Country, including the Eisenhower Locks in Massena from 1955 until 1959. Henry retired in 1976. Almost sixty years after driving his Model A Ford to his last day in the greenhouse, Henry came back to SUNY Canton to surprise us with a wonderful gift. What else was growing in the greenhouse?

decided to leave $250,000 to the College that gave him his start. He also knew he didnt want any of the attention surrounding it. So Henry politely requested that we keep his gift a secret. His wife Macy started working in the greenhouse in 1932. Jobs were tough to come by in those days of the Great Depression, but after marrying Henry in the summer of 1934, she was able to help him get a job in the greenhouse.

Criminal Investigation Alumnus John Madjerick 06 wasnt planning on growing a mountain-man beard, but the courageous Shreveport, Louisiana, police officer didnt have a choice. On Jan. 29, Madjerick was investigating a string of burglaries using a knock and talk approach with six other police officers. The investigation led to a brief chase that ended with a suspect pulling a compact Glock handgun and shooting Madjerick on the left side of his face. I dont remember being shot, I only remember a huge vibration, he recalled. The next thing I remember was waking up in an MRI machine. The shooting happened less than a month after he proposed to his College girlfriend, Krista Walters 06, who is the former student government president. Both Walters and Madjerick hail from Philadelphia (New York). Walters said her fianc was making a remarkable recovery. He has a hole we call a dimple in his cheek, and they had to make an incision from his chin to his ear to put his jaw back together, she said. But overall, his scars dont look that bad.
Young Alum Recovers from Shooting
Surgeons repaired his broken jaw with a steel plate and nine screws. When the bullet exited, it fractured his C2 vertebrae, so he was bound in a neck brace. He had this mountain man beard going on, because he couldnt shave, Walters said. Doctors estimated that it would take at least three months for Madjerick to recover. He recently said he was feeling about 75 percent and only taking Tylenol for the pain. Perhaps the most inspiring part of his recovery has been his attitude. Madjerick wants to go back to work as soon as possible. Im actually glad it happened to me and not someone else, CELEBRITY STATUS After recovering from a line-ofMadjerick said.

Stuart Welch 83 has been riding a train of success that started at his apartment above the Hoot Owl in Canton. Hes gone from studying data processing at college to becoming a private eye and creating a highly-successful security company, while maintaining an active role with youth in his community. Its been an amazing ride, Welch said. After graduation, I moved to California and became a police officer. Then I opened my own business in 1993. Welch is the CEO of the Antioch, Ca.-

train station a time or two as well. Id never experienced that side of life before, he said, recalling parties at the Hoot Owl with a heartfelt chuckle. Those were great times with great people.

His Family

Welch and his wife Paula have two daughters, Chevelta, 19, and Chelsey, 16, and one son, Cayman, 10.

Lasting Relationships

Welch fondly recalls retired Intramural Director Eugene Gino Grobelny 68, who to this day influences his life. He kept me employed at the gym and used to beat me 21 to 2 in racquetball while wearing a weight vest, Welch recalled. Welch said Grobelnys influence helped him to become actively involved with youth in his own life. Welch teaches part time, coaches youth basketball, and is a youth pastor at his church.

Mantras for Success:

The customer is always right, Welch said. Make them remember you. Welch is actively involved in many of the day-to-day tasks at PeaceKeepers in addition to being the managing director of the entire company. He refers to and is inspired by the management teachings of John Maxwell, who authored The 360-Degree Leader.

We didnt need an alarm clock when we lived above the Hoot Owl, Welch said. That morning train would come by and wed know it was time to get up. Welch made it downstairs at the old

Giving Back

Welch recently met with SUNY Canton development associates at a college gathering in California. I give to SUNY Canton because the College gave so much to me, Welch said.
Devoted to Devising Devices
The career accomplishments of a 1976 alumnus can be found in hospitals and doctors offices around the world. And while he may not have a household name, he has positively affected millions of households worldwide. With 10 medical device patents and a 2000 national award from Vice President Al Gore, the career of Fred Schweitzer has been quite remarkable. The Electrical Engineering Technology major has spent the past 30 years in the medical device industry. In 2004, he was recognized by a prestigious trade publication, Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry (MD&DI), as one of the top 100 notable people in the industry. Recognition like this is not something you anticipate, but something you are honored to receive, said Schweitzer. A long career can have some high and low points, and something like this helps make it seem more worthwhile. After a 22-year career with Kendall/Tyco Healthcare, Schweitzer has spent the past nine years with Welch Allyn, Inc. in Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. He has held senior level positions in both Research and Development

Steel Bridge Team Sweeps Regionals
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Student Steel Bridge Team has won the Upstate New York ASCE Student Conference again! The competition was held at the United States Military Academy at West Point. This was the first year that ASCE offered a conference title and we won it, said Andrew Durrin, ASCE Steel Bridge Captain and SUNY Canton Civil Engineering Technology student from Plattsburgh. The students won first place in the Steel Bridge competition, the West Point Bridge Designer Contest, and the mystery competition, which led them to accumulate the points necessary to take home the conference title and an impressive number of trophies. The competition is getting better all the time, pointed out Robert Blickwedhl, ASCE Chapter advisor and Civil Engineering Technology faculty member. We still have a lot of work to do before the National Student Steel Bridge Competition. SUNY Canton has won the competition 12 times in the last14
years, according to ASCE Advisor Paul Hitchman, an Instructional Support Associate in the Civil Engineering Technology department. The students faced fierce competition from universities and colleges including SUNY Buffalo, Clarkson, University of Quebec Ecole de Technologie Superieure in Montreal, Rochester Institute of Technology, SUNYIT, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Cornell. The SUNY Canton team departs for the University of Florida on May 21 to compete in the 2008 national competition. Alumni are invited to attend the event along with Development Officers who will be traveling with the team. To help the team cover their expenses, contact the SUNY Canton Foundation 315-386-7527.
