Carter receives = Canadian=20 grant to develop summer course on border = relations

Dr. Neal Carter, = associate=20 professor of political science at St. Bonaventure University, has = received=20 a $9,500 grant from the Canadian government to support the = development of=20 Canadian content courses, including a six-credit course for summer = 2010.

The course = features a=20 two-week trip to four major cities in Canada. About $5,000 of the = grant=20 will help defray travel expenses for the students who take the = course, now=20 being developed by Carter and Dr. Jeff Slagle, assistant professor = of=20 English.

The course = =97 a=20 seminar version of the World Views course (CLAR 108) taught every = fall by=20 Carter =97 will be merged with a section of Arts and Literature = (CLAR 109)=20 to account for the six credits. Both courses are Clare College = (core=20 program) requirements for all St. Bonaventure students, but are = offered=20 each semester in a number of sections and taught by several = different=20 faculty members.

Carter=92s = section of=20 World Views focuses on identity and intergroup contact in general, = but=20 uses the United States-Canada border and international relations = as a=20 point of emphasis. The new summer course will focus on comparisons = of the=20 United States and Canada, as well as their international=20 relations.

How the = Arts and=20 Literature course will be integrated into the curriculum has yet = to be=20 determined, Carter said.

Course time = spent in=20 Canada will include sessions with both countries=92 diplomatic = corps,=20 politicians, practitioners, members of the tourism industry, and=20 professors in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, as well = as visits=20 to relevant museums and landmarks.

The = remaining $4,500=20 of the grant will be used to research the development of the class = and the=20 procurement of course materials, the cultivation of contacts for = student=20 trips, and the creation of a plan of study for the course. Some of = Carter=92s research will be devoted to enhancing two existing = classes:=20 Canadian Politics (POLS 370) and his traditional section of World = Views=20 (CLAR 108).

Carter=92s = grant=20 follows a $5,000 Program Enhancement Grant received last fall to = promote=20 the development of Canadian Studies at the university. These funds = are=20 being used to support guest speakers as well as the development of = a=20 Canadian Studies concentration within the new International = Studies major.=20

These = courses will=20 also support the new International Relations concentrations in = political=20 science and history.

The summer = course=20 offering will focus more on Canadian culture than his traditional = fall=20 class, Carter said.

=93Many of = my students=20 live close enough to the border to have a personal interest in = gaining=20 understanding about the relationship between the U.S. and = Canada,=94 Carter=20 said. =93As conditions develop in the world, a firm understanding = of the=20 similarities and differences of the two countries will become = increasingly=20 important.=94

SBU, hospital honor enormous = generosity of=20 Olean man

He lived more than = 90 years in=20 a non-descript house on Wayne Street, made $5.85 an hour in 1975, = his 38th=20 and final year at Dresser Industries.

A simple = man of=20 modest means, Frank T. Gelsomino Jr. died Aug. 13, 2007. His = legacy will=20 be felt in Olean forever.

Scrimping = and=20 investing wisely, tracking TV stock tickers faithfully and making = daily=20 calls to his broker, Gelsomino amassed a fortune and made sure two = pillars=20 of the community =97 St. Bonaventure University and Olean General = Hospital =97=20 were the richer for it. He left the university more than $1.6 = million and=20 donated $700,000 to the hospital.

Gelsomino=92s=20 generosity was remembered Friday by both institutions, first at a = midday=20 reception at St. Bonaventure, and then at the dedication of a = Gelsomino=20 family portrait =97 painted by Sharon Long =97 at Olean General. = Relatives and=20 friends of Gelsomino attended both events.

=93Words = could never=20 adequately convey what this remarkable man has done for us,=94 = said Sr.=20 Margaret Carney, O.S.F., university president. =93I had the = pleasure of=20 sitting down and talking with him at length before he passed away = and I=20 was so impressed with his desire to help others get the education = he was=20 unfortunately denied.=94

The Great = Depression=20 struck just as Gelsomino was about to graduate from Olean High = School.=20 College wasn=92t an option.

Near the = end of his=20 life, macular degeneration robbed Gelsomino of most of his vision, = but he=20 never lost sight of his desire to help others after he was gone. = His=20 donation to St. Bonaventure established the Gelsomino Family = Scholarship=20 Fund. Some of Gelsomino=92s wealth came from inheritances from his = parents=20 and sisters.

=93It was = his desire=20 that his donation could help local students attend St. Bonaventure = who=20 might not otherwise be able to,=94 said SBU=92s Bob Keenan, who = helped=20 Gelsomino set up the scholarship fund.

Townhouse = 21 on the=20 east side of campus has been renamed Gelsomino House in honor of = Frank and=20 his family, Keenan said.

=93That was = his wish,=94=20 Keenan said. =93I was showing him the townhouses one day and a = student was=20 nice enough to give us a tour (of Townhouse 21). That=92s why he = picked that=20 one.=94

Gelsomino = also had a=20 heart for health care and, through the Olean General Hospital = Foundation,=20 he set up the Gelsomino Family Endowment in memory of his parents, = Frank=20 and Catherine Gelsomino, and his sisters Josephine and Eleanor, = all of=20 whom he credited for making his gifts possible.

=93Through = this=20 endowment, the Gelsomino family=92s desire to provide = state-of-the-art=20 health care for generations will come to fruition. Five percent = [of the=20 endowment] annually in perpetuity will fund critical equipment and = important projects of the future in their name,=94 said Karen = Fohl, OGH=20 Foundation president.

Gelsomino=92s enduring=20 legacy will be the love he felt for the place he lived for nearly = a=20 century, Fohl said.

=93Frank = was not a=20 famous person, or a world traveler or a business leader. Instead, = Frank=20 was like most of the thousands of us who live and work in this = community,=20 weaving a simple tapestry in life that might be indistinguishable = from all=20 the others being woven around him,=94 Fohl said. =93He served his = country as a=20 soldier, he dearly loved his parents and sisters, and he weathered = difficult economic times.

=93But what = made Frank=20 Gelsomino=92s life stand apart from so many others, and what = ultimately=20 cemented his lasting legacy, was his generosity to his community = and his=20 goal of making it a better place than he found = it.=94

SBU Theater announces = cast for=20 spring production of 'The Seagull'

St. = Bonaventure=20 University=92s theater program will be taking a chance on love in = Anton=20 Chekhov=92s =93The Seagull=94 for its spring = production.

The play is = about a=20 young, struggling writer named Konstantin who wants his stories to = be told=20 and his mother, Arkadina, is a famous actress who is uninterested = in her=20 son=92s life and dream to be a writer. He is in love with Nina, a = woman who=20 is in love with Arkadina=92s love interest, Trigorin. The play = tells their=20 story and how people have the tendency to reject love that is = freely given=20 and seek it where it is withheld.

=93The play is about = people=20 struggling to find love and the mistakes they make on the way,=94 = said Dr.=20 Ed. Simone, chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts = and=20 director of St. Bonaventure=92s Theater Program. Simone said this = is the=20 first full-length Chekhov play produced at SBU in more than 40 = years.=20

=93It=92s = long overdue,=94=20 he said. =93Chekhov is one of the cornerstones of our theater and = he=92s an=20 absolute gem for students to use for emotion and character=20 work.=94

Auditions = for the=20 show were open to all students and the cast is a veritable = cross-section=20 of the university, including theater majors and students from many = other=20 disciplines. The play is a true ensemble piece; while Konstantin,=20 Arkadina, Nina and Trigorin could be called the main characters, = everyone=20 in the cast has a significant part.

Playing the roles of=20 Konstantin, Arkadina and Nina are students Adam Sorokes,=9209, of = Olean, a=20 political science major; Ashley Waterman, =9212, of Dunkirk, a = double major=20 in theater and English; and Brittany Henry, =9209, a journalism = and mass=20 communication major from Little Egg Harbor, N.J.

In = preparing for=20 their roles, the cast does some unusual things to develop = character and to=20 ensure a detailed performance.

Waterman is = wearing=20 high-heeled shoes every day because her character is =93a little = bit of a=20 diva.=94

=93I=92m = taking=20 inspiration from Meryl Streep in her role in =91The Devil Wears = Prada,=92 and=20 Ann Bancroft in =93The Turning Point,=92=94 Waterman = said.

Adam = Sorokes finds a=20 personal resonance in the role of Konstantin.

=93I find = Konstantin to=20 be really interesting and I see myself like him, an artist = starving to do=20 something that he thinks can=92t be done,=94 said Sorokes. Sorokes = said it=92s=20 the actor=92s absolute mastery of the text that allows him to = develop a=20 successful character. =93Know your lines early and cold,=94 he = said.=20

=93The = Seagull=94 will be=20 Sorokes=92 final appearance with SBU Theater.

Brittany = Henry, also=20 making her farewell SBU Theater appearance, focuses on the = greatness of=20 Chekhov and his ability to move audiences.

=93I hope = the audience=20 understands why this is considered a classic piece, and that = they=92ll get=20 involved in the lives of the characters in the show,=94 said=20 Henry.

The = production is=20 designed by Becky Misenheimer, assistant professor of theater at = SBU. The=20 set will contain very painterly elements that utilize skills = taught in her=20 scene painting class and also reflect the =93dreamy=94 nature of = the play=92s=20 setting =97 a farm on a lake in the Russian = countryside.

=93One of = the=20 characters refers to the lake as =91magic=92 because everyone = falls in love=20 when they=92re near it,=94 Misenheimer said. =93We=92re using that = and artistic=20 influences like Maxfield Parish and period portraiture to create = our show=20 environment.=94

=93The = Seagull=94 will=20 run Wednesday through Saturday, March 25-28, at 7:30 p.m. in The = Garret=20 Theater on the SBU campus. An audience talkback, a regular feature = of SBU=20 Theater productions since 2005, is scheduled after the Friday, = March 27,=20 performance.
