BUSINESS UPDATE<br />
Country club on island<br />
continuing upgrades<br />
WELLESLEY ISLAND —<br />
Thousand Islands Country Club<br />
reports its best season in recent<br />
history during 2007. Golf memberships<br />
tripled from the 2005<br />
season, with daily rounds and<br />
villa rentals including the popular<br />
one, two and three night golf<br />
packages all showing marked<br />
increases. Continued upgrading<br />
of golf course conditions, combined<br />
with ongoing capital improvements<br />
to the marina,<br />
clubhouses and villas have attracted<br />
both new and returning<br />
customers from the U.S. and<br />
Canada. The strong Canadian<br />
dollar remains a major contributing<br />
factor for the many<br />
new golfers coming across the<br />
border for daily play and packages.<br />
This winter has seen the refurbishing<br />
of the “island” docks<br />
in the 105-slip marina, the<br />
fourth area in as many years to<br />
receive off-season attention.<br />
Additional slips are being prepared<br />
to accommodate the increased<br />
number of boaters already<br />
signed on for the upcoming<br />
season. TICC continues to<br />
offer PGA instruction through<br />
individual lessons and clinics as<br />
well as multi-day packages with<br />
its affiliation with National Golf<br />
Schools.<br />
The tournament schedule<br />
featuring events such as Samaritan<br />
Foundation, Kinney Foundation,<br />
Hospice, 84 Lumber and<br />
many more will continue to be<br />
hosted by the facility.<br />

move will provide much-needed<br />
space for parking, more<br />
room for agent desks and a<br />
spacious training room with<br />
the latest in training and technology.<br />

Company president Patty<br />
Burdick, who employs three<br />
family members and is involved<br />
in horse show judging, is not<br />
planning anything new this<br />
year. “I am afraid the economy<br />
may be on the downside this<br />
year, so I am going to be conservative<br />
and try to control inventory,”<br />
she said.<br />
According to Burdick, her<br />
business is always changing.<br />
She says she reads the business<br />
magazines and follows the<br />
trends as they change.<br />
“I listen to my customers,”<br />
she says. “When they ask for<br />
something I try to help them.<br />
When the newest items come<br />
out, I try to acquire a few of them<br />
to show to people.”<br />
“I try to help people with<br />
training and health problems<br />
with their horses. I advise people<br />
on what may work for them.<br />
If a product is not going to work<br />
for them, I try to advise them<br />
and direct them to something<br />
else.”<br />
“I sell my products locally at<br />
my store. I have a mobile trailer,<br />
and I head the local horse shows<br />
and fairs. I am also planning to<br />
attend a show in Vermont this<br />
spring and Equine Affaire in<br />
Massachusetts this fall.”<br />

Waste Management takes<br />
‘green’ approach to trash<br />
2007 was a year of significant<br />
change for Waste Management,<br />
which reports it is taking the latest<br />
advances in waste disposal<br />
and bringing a “green” approach<br />
to handling garbage.<br />
WM creates enough energy to<br />
power the equivalent of 1 million<br />
homes each year and<br />
processes 8 million tons of recyclables<br />
each year.<br />
Senior management has<br />
committed by the year 2020 to<br />
increase energy resources to<br />
power the equivalent of 2 million<br />
homes, to triple the amount<br />
of recyclable materials<br />
processed and to increase the<br />
fuel efficiency and reduce the<br />
emissions of the company’s<br />
fleet by 15 percent.<br />
The local group has been providing<br />
waste and recyclable collection<br />
and disposal services to<br />
the local communities in Jefferson<br />
County for more than 40<br />
years.<br />
Waste Management offers<br />
single stream recycling or a<br />
commingling of all recyclables,<br />
which are then transported to<br />
Recycle America in Syracuse for<br />
sorting and processing.<br />
In January 2007 the company<br />
was hit by a devastating fire,<br />
which destroyed its Felts Mills<br />
maintenance facility and three<br />
of its main collection vehicles.<br />
But with teamwork and support<br />
from the New York state group,<br />
the company was able to continue<br />
operations without any<br />
negative impact to customers.<br />
Waste Managment built a<br />
new state-of-the-art facility that<br />
houses both garage and offices<br />
and is still at its old location on<br />
Card Road, Felts Mills.<br />

Morgia’s Pasta springs<br />
from old family tradition<br />
Morgia’s Pasta, a local family<br />
run pasta and sauce manufacturing<br />
company, started in April<br />
1990. Rosalind Morgia and her<br />
daughter, Mary Jo, run the dayto-day<br />
business.<br />
John and Rosalind Morgia began<br />
making pasta as a Sunday<br />
family tradition with their children<br />
Joanne, Mary Jo and John<br />
Jr. and donated their pasta to the<br />
St. Anthony’s Church Bazaar for<br />
its annual fundraiser. The Morgias<br />
were approached by Nunzio<br />
Speno, who owned Ann’s<br />
Restaurant on Arsenal Street<br />
and wanted to start buying the<br />
pasta for his business.<br />
The Morgias were then contacted<br />
by Pete’s restaurant and<br />
Fairground Inn. At that point,<br />
the Morgias launched a business<br />
called Jomaro’s Pasta,<br />
based on the initials of the first<br />
name of each family member.<br />
The business was called Jomaro’s<br />
for a few years, and the<br />
family incorporated and<br />
changed the name to Morgia’s<br />
Pasta.<br />
The Morgias started making<br />
pasta in the basement of their<br />
home with a hand-crank machine.<br />
Soon after, they outgrew<br />
the basement and moved to the<br />
old Alteri’s Bakery. Since then,<br />
Morgia’s has expanded its product<br />
line and outgrown its facilities,<br />
moving several times, ending<br />
up in its present facility at<br />
22564 Fisher Road, <strong>Watertown</strong>.<br />
Morgia’s Pasta products are<br />
all natural and have no preservatives.<br />
The pasta is made with<br />
high quality flour, eggs and water.<br />
Spice products are made<br />
from real dried ground spinach<br />
and tomato for spinach- and<br />
tomato-flavored pastas. On any<br />
given day, Morgia’s can produce<br />
up to 500 pounds of pasta with<br />
its three machines. Frozen<br />
products include manicotti,<br />
gnocchi, cavetelli, lasagna, rigatoni<br />
and ziti. Morgia’s also produces<br />
and bottles its own fatfree<br />
pasta sauce.<br />
Pasta gift baskets are sold at<br />
the retail location in the Industrial<br />
Park and over the Internet.<br />
Morgia’s has two major distributors<br />
and a few small ones<br />
for statewide sale and distribution.<br />
Renzi’s Food Distributors<br />
handles the restaurants and<br />
Cavallaro Foods in Syracuse distributes<br />
to the retail accounts.<br />
Morgia’s has been a Pride of New<br />
York Member for more than 10<br />
years.<br />
Due to rising costs in such<br />
commodities as such as flour,<br />
eggs and plastic, Morgia’s has<br />
had to raise prices for the first<br />
time since incorporating in<br />
1991.<br />
Morgia’s Pasta is open yearround<br />
and has always been involved<br />
with giving to many local<br />
charities.<br />
