If you need business loan funds give us a call. We’re here to help.

When we sit with friends and chat,About days of long ago,Memories soon come flooding back,It’s like a picture show.

Some of us remember things,That others have forgot,But when told by older folks,We can recall a lot.

It’s fun to talk of previous times,When the world was a happier place,People helped each other more,And did it with style and grace.

We speak of years gone by,And what we did back then,The crazy things we went through,Do you remember when?

Ladies didn’t have hose to wear,Leg make-up did the trick,But painting lines on our legs,Did they look like a candle wick?

When growing up I stayed close to home,As my parents wished,So now I listen to the tales,Of all the things I’ve missed.

As a youngster I did ponder,The rationing of things,Sugar, shoes and the like,Oh! what memories it brings.We listen to the elder folks,

Who joyously think back,Of tricks and pranks they did to playmatesHow about the out-back shack?

They’ll tell you it didn’t hurt anyone,To knock the “little house” over,But if they had been in it,It’d be a different story.

Running through the woods,And snapping little trees,And hearing stories,About the birds and the bees.

Oh, what freedom there was,In the great out-of-doors,There was no such thing, As being bored.

So visit with your pals,And learn of days of yore,You can learn interesting things,And want to hear much more.

With water and light it’s AprilWith renewals in sight

And new emailsSaying hey! Get outside it is not snowing.

Mankind has taken many looks---with world’s to winProgressing through life with the goodsThere is a feeling of being within usIt is the brain speaking with intrinsic transitions,

When genes unfold with science and wonderThis is life playing with interconnectednessMortality realized is our linchpin

To embrace life with a sense of purposeWe should take to life with expressionsFor we are unique in this sa of creativity,

And so mankind will have taken many looksAnd so his world’s must endA loss of energy with ageEntropyThis leads to stages---where molecules transcendAnd so a cycle begins again

---Bill BakerWalking Papers were formed in Seattle in

2012. Their self-title debut was release in 2013. WP2 is there second release. The groove laden project has a unique modern rock sound. The band, sometimes are reminiscent of what the Doors would possibly sound like, if they were re-leasing new music today.

Walking Papers consist of Jeff Angell - lead vocals and guitar, Barnett Martin - Drums, Ben-jamin Anderson on Keyboards and Duff McKagan on Bass. Angell and Anderson are also members of The Missionary Position. Martin is a former Screaming Trees and Mad Season alumni. Duff McKagan, a familiar name in the music scene, is one of the original members of Guns and Roses and Velvet Revolver. McKagan also has been in-volved in several solo projects.

Jeff Angell has that charismatic, sometimes sinister haunting vocals, as if Jim Morrison ghost hides within his soul. Angell has been quoted say-ing “You can say a lot in a four-minute song by

what you leave to the imagination.” This is often-displayed with the pictures he paints with his lyr-ics. Songs like This Is How It Ends, Into The Truth and King Hooker are like mini movies put to mu-sic. His guitar work, especially, his lead licks are interjected in all the right moments, bringing each song to a higher level.

Benjamin Andersons keyboards are reminis-cent of John Lords work with Deep Purple. Not overpowering but interwoven through the songs, always intensifying the melody. Martin and McKa-gan’s rhythm section cooks, always in the pocket moving everything forward.

It is refreshing, hearing a musical perfor-mance that is unique to today’s rock n roll land-scape. I have seen the Walking Papers perform, photographing them at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center a few years ago. Hard to believe, but they are even better live. Check them out on Spotify. You will end up either buying the cd or streaming their latest project.

St. John’s Conservatory Theater (SJCT), now in their fifth season, opens their latest musical comedy The New Variety Radio Show based on the popular variety radio shows of the 1940s.

Their 2018 season commences with The New Variety Radio Show, running April 5-8, at the OFA George Hall Auditorium, Ogdensburg, NY.

The Golden Age of Radio Revisited A tribute to the golden age of radio, this musical

is hosted by a comedian à la Jimmy Durante named Waldo Fern played by R. O’Donnell, and his side-kick Mr. Wilson played by Brandon Bogart. They’re joined onstage by the St. Lawrence Darlings (think Mouseketeers), which perform sketches, song and dance accompanied by The Oswegatchie Orchestra.

The St. Lawrence Darlings are played by Peyton Brown (Massena), Maddison Cameron (Heuvel-ton), Evelyn Davis (Ogdensburg), Jillian LeBel (Og-densburg), Macy Murdock (Ogdensburg), Myah Myers (Ogdensburg), Gabriella Ott (Ogdensburg), Cadence Payne (Ogdensburg), Delia Payne (Og-densburg), Gerard Powers (Ogdensburg), Logan Carr (Ogdensburg), Hailee Jackson (Heuvelton), Christopher Rodriguez (Ogdensburg), and Hailey Weber (Ogdensburg).

The New Variety Radio Show also features An-gela Conzone Dwyer (Ogdensburg) as Peggy Page, Stephen Chambers (Ogdensburg) as Ernie Rooster, Shelly Murdock (Ogdensburg) as Ella Starr, and Ryan C. McNally (Syracuse) as Max Windell and his wandering sax.

Boasting lavish production numbers of all the popular hits of the 20’s, 30’s, and 40s, The New Variety Radio Show is a toe-tapping, gut-busting, and tap-dancing extravaganza reminiscent of the famous radio variety shows of the 1940s.

An Original North Country Theater CompanyAn original North Country theater company, St.

John’s Conservatory Theater offers the Ogdensburg community four seasonal (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter) all-original musicals. SJCT produc-tions are fully staged, costumed, and orchestrated, and include a book (story and dialogue), music and lyrics. Nowhere else in the North Country is there a professional regional theater company that pro-duces all-original in-house musicals.

St. John’s Conservatory Theater principal creative staff includes Producing Artistic Direc-tor Mr. O’Donnell, Musical Director and Cho-

reographer Angela Conzone Dwyer, Digital Or-chestrator and Vocal Arranger Ryan C. McNally (Syracuse), Scenic and Prop Designer Stephen Chambers, Costume and Makeup Designer Karen Fischbeck (Heuvelton), Senior Costumer Heron Hetzler (Potsdam), Technical Director and Production Coordinator Christopher Dw-yer, Sound Designer Richard Patton, Lighting Designer Barry Pratt (Watertown), Production

---Vic Clevenger The Cookin’ Comedian

I had my first SCA (Steak Cookoff Association) sanctioned competition last week and it was so much fun, even if I didn’t win. I’m a pretty good steak cook to begin with but in this, I was going against several steak cookoff world champions and boy did I need to be on my game. I chose two really nice ribeyes and off I went to do just a few little things, like trim and season then have them kissed by the fire. As an added challenge, we had to cook what’s called “pig wings.” However, a little thing happened but we’ll get to that in a minute.

We’ve all watched the Food Network where the

chef says, “Then add a pinch of salt.” Just a pinch? How will a little ol’ pinch ever be enough? What I’ve learned is the salt is added not to necessarily make the dish salty but rather this little pinch is put in to lift up the other flavors in the dish, to compliment them, if you will. This little ingredient, which is in so many of our favorite dishes, is often taken for granted. You know when it’s missing but not always our first thought.

Sometimes these little things distract us from tasks at hand, which brings me back to my story. When you do a steak you have to not only season it but trim it so it will cook perfectly. While I was trim-ming the fat I cut my finger and let’s say, well, let’s

just leave it at “I cut my finger.” Needless to say I was distracted from what needed to be accomplished. While my finger was being attended to the EMT said, “That’s it? That’s a pretty small cut.” Looking at it now I can hardly believe I made it such a high pri-ority. This distraction shifted my focus from what I needed to do. Those pig wings we were given were handed to us pre-cooked but partially frozen and be-cause of this distraction, the only way I can describe the way I turned them into the judges is ‘thawed.’

These are the differences between the little things in our lives. They can be people, tasks or whatever but they always have an influence on us if we let them. We must decide how much and what kind of

influence these little thing will have. Is the little thing there to lift us up or to distract us from our task at hand? Those little things which lift us up, encour-age us to bring dreams to reality. In contrast to this, sometimes those little things are a splinter in the foot of the elephant. It distracts to the point you can’t go any farther. Once the splinter is removed then look out world. But take another look at this fable. The little splinter was removed from the large elephant by a little mouse. One little thing was a distraction and one little thing was there to lift up. What are the little things in your life doing?

Side note: I wasn’t last in my pig wing competi-tion. Just thought you should know.

---Dr. Anthony BetrusThe Game Connoisseur

In January, 2018, Shamless Learning LLC was formed in Potsdam, NY. This company is headed by Dr. Anthony Betrus, SUNY Pots-dam Professor of Instructional Design and Or-ganizational Leadership, and includes former SUNY Potsdam students Matt Leifeld (Math Teacher) and Nate Turcotte (PhD Candidate at Penn State University). Clarkson University’s Shipley Center for Innovation was extremely helpful, as they promote small businesses, entrepreneurship and innovation in the North-ern New York area. From their website: “The Shipley Center is a collision of everything,” says Executive Director Matthew Draper. “From the time innovators come to us to the time we release their vision, we help manage the entire process, serving as communicators and project managers.” For us, they took what was a cloudy a cloudy picture and made it

clear, helping with various level of paperwork, contact intellectual property lawyers, and oth-erwise managing the steps needed to get our small business up and running. At launch, Shamless Learning has one major product, Teaching Bad Apples (think Cards Against Humanity for teachers), with two additional games (Nursing Bad Apples and Coaching Bad Apples) under development. To that end, we would LOVE to hear from you, the read-ers, real stories about teaching, nursing, and coaching that we could include in the games and expansions. The idea is to prepare future workers with up front knowledge of the crazy and ridiculous things that happen to people in these professions. So please share with us your stories, and we’ll do our best to include them in the game. In the meantime, visit the Game Crafter or search the web for “Teaching Bad Apples,” to get a copy of the game and first two expansions.

GAME CONNOISSEUR

---BY CRAIG THORNTONCall Me By Your Name

directed by Luca Gaud-agnino and written by James Ivory, from the nov-el by Andre Aciman is one of the best reviewed films

of the year, by both audiences and critics. In the end of year compilation by EW it is number one on its printed list and has a 96% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was recently nominated for four Oscars including best picture, best screen-play and best actor for the brilliant, revelatory, Timothee Chalamat. As much as I hate to con-form, I agree, the film is stunning.

Like all great art, it is difficult to describe its emotional impact and resonance until you feel it yourself. Additionally, every viewer experience is unique to the viewer and open to individual in-terpretation. Still, great films usually have a uni-versal appeal and human relatability. Films are emotional. Part of this film’s power is its ability to unfold like a novel, you are deceptively pulled in and immersed in the story leisurely, so by the end you are very invested, without necessarily knowing why or how.

Set in Northern Italy in the 1983, Call Me by Your Name is a coming of age first love story with Elio (Chalamat) at the center. Elio is not your average American teenager, he speaks

French, Italian, and is also a classical pianist. His father is a renowned professor and is played by the remarkable Michael Stuhlbarg, his erudite mother (Amir Casar) is a translator. His sharp intellect and cool parents don’t shield Elio, who is seventeen, from teenage lust and the pain of first love and his life is turned upside down when his father’s handsome research intern, PHD candidate Oliver (Armie Hammer) arrives for a six week stay. When Elio finds himself at-tracted to Oliver, it isn’t a matter of coming out or being gay, because Elio has dalliances with local girls as well, but it is a matter of being drawn to someone inexorably and intensely, and negotiating love’s perils.

Hammer is perfect as the aloof, confident, but always polite Oliver. He finds the vulner-ability that everyone who is in the process of falling in love faces, and although the film is told from Eilio’s point of view Hammer brings depth to a character that could appear slick and glib in another actor’s hands. Youth is a time of intense emotions, and everything can feel like a huge thing, especially when you are falling in love. A look, a moment, innocuous conversa-tion all have weight when you are waiting for a sign that someone else feels the same. This film accomplishes this precarious youthful journey remarkably. This is impressive, as the screen-writer was in his 80’s when he wrote it, and the

director near 50 when he directed it. Still the film will evocatively transport you back to your expe-rience of first love, creating tremendous empa-thy for your fictional counterparts on the screen.

Chalamet is brilliant and unforgettable as Eilo, there is a light inside him, and if the eyes are the windows to soul, you can see it all in his face. At 22 Chalamat is the youngest Oscar nominee for best actor in almost 80 years and he is the third youngest ever. The best actor Oscar nominees skew older, especially compared to best actress. Of the top ten youngest best actor Oscar winners only one winner received it while in his 20’s, compared to the top ten youngest best actress winners-they are all in their 20’s. Although Chalamet isn’t expected to win, (Gary

Oldman is the favorite) perhaps the Academy is finally open to recognizing some younger ac-tors. In any event; his talent is undeniable.

There are no villains in Call Me by Your Name. Nothing is black and white, there aren’t any answers, or condemnation for mistakes or praise for decisions; however there is a cel-ebration of love, of youth, of the beauty of the moment, because unfortunately like the movie, youth must end and surprise, wonder and plea-sure ebb as we grow older. Everything works to-gether seamlessly in this fantastic collaboration of artists: the direction, the writing, the music, the cinematography, the acting, the editing, the costumes. This film restores my hope in the art of filmmaking.
