Candidates react to map, survey Researcher discusses women in science By India Miraglia asst. news editor
The Department of Public Safety released a map detailing its jurisdiction throughout Syracuse on Sunday. The map only covers university-owned and -operated properties. bridget slomian presentation director By Gabe Stern
asst. news editor
One day after Syracuse University and the Department of Public Safety released new public safety developments, several Student Association leaders and presidential candidates said it was a good first step toward making DPS more transparent for the student body. DPS published a map on Sunday that detailed its law enforcement jurisdiction and clarified what measures the department is able to take outside of its jurisdiction. SU also emailed a campus-wide survey to students Monday asking what they think about off-campus safety. The map came five weeks after students called on DPS to clarify its jurisdiction following the assault of three students
Student Association leaders, candidates say DPS has taken steps toward improving transparency of color on Ackerman Avenue. SA condemned the university in February for not publicly referring to the assault as racially-motivated. At a February forum, several students criticized DPS and SU for what they called a lack of transparency and communication. DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado said its jurisdiction extends only to universityowned and operated areas, and the rest of the city is handled by the Syracuse Police Department. The map,
which was released Monday night, detailed DPS’ jurisdiction on and around SU’s Main Campus, South Campus, the Drumlins Country Club and several university-owned buildings in Syracuse. “Both the map and the survey are two good steps in this journey to be more transparent with the student body,� SA President Ghufran Salih said. Salih said she wants DPS to take input from the survey and analyze student responses to create change in the department. She met with Maldonado, SU Chief Law Enforcement Officer Tony Callisto and others on Friday as part of a Student Advisory Committee. SA presidential candidate Jalen Nash said the release of the map

Research engineer and LGBTQ advocate Lynn Conway asked her audience sitting in Hendricks Chapel to imagine that they were in the room with her while she attended the 2013 LGBT Pride Month celebration at the CONWAY White House. The room was full of joy, Conway said. She said she could see how far the United States had come since the 1960s. Conway said she tried to envision the struggles and oppressions of other LGBTQ individuals, and through seeing all that suffering had an epiphany: “We’ve come so far so fast that many of us could now begin uncovering too,� she said. Conway shared her story to a crowd of more than 50 people at the semester’s second University Lecture on Tuesday. She currently serves as a professor emerita of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Michigan. At the lecture, she spoke about the erasure of women’s work in the scientific field. She used her work to revolutionize the way silicon chips were created, as an example. Conway worked to simplify Very Large-Scale Integration technology, in which an integrated circuit was created by combining large numbers of transistors into a single chip. VLSI had complicated building methods, and certain parts of the chip had to be worked on by hand, she said. The method Conway developed, which allowed the chips to be designed through computer-
based methods, shortened the process and made it easier to do. But she wasn’t recognized within the technology field for her work. “Down through the decades, no one could explain how the VLSI revolution actually happened. The results were simply taken for granted,� she said. Conway went on to write a textbook on VLSI, as well as to set up an exploratory “experimental launch� course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to teach students the computer-based technology. Soon after, the course spread to 12 other major research universities, Conway said. By the 1982-83 academic year, the course was being taught at 113 universities around the world, Conway said. The whole time this innovation was happening, though, no one really knew that Conway was behind it, she said. Scientist Carver Mead, who worked with Conway, received awards and recognitions, from around 1981 to the early 2000s, but not Conway. She said he even received recognitions for innovations that were solely hers. Conway said her being a transgender woman caused her to feel that she had to work in “stealth mode.� She was fired from computer hardware company IBM after it was discovered that she was undergoing gender transition. While answering questions from the audience, though, Conway said being fired was the best thing that ever happened to her because she was forced to leave the security of the company. Conway said that a bigger part of her innovations being covered up was due to what she coined the “Conway Effect.� People do

3 takeaways from New York Mets’ practice at Carrier Dome By Billy Heyen
Here are some takeaways from the Mets’ workout.
One of the Carrier Dome’s end zones featured a dance-off between Otto the Orange and Mr. Met on Tuesday. It was one of many firsts for the building, which opened in 1980. The New York Mets open its season Thursday in Washington, D.C. But they spent Tuesday afternoon — two days before — in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse’s Triple-A team switched owners last October, becoming an affiliate of the Mets and sharing the team’s name. Forty-eight hours before playing the Nationals, the Major League club worked out for about an hour-and-a-half on the Dome turf to meet local fans.
Thor’s flag
senior staff writer
One of the Mets’ star pitchers, Noah Syndergaard, made noise earlier in the week over the travel to Syracuse being an unnecessary addition to a hectic late-Spring Training schedule. The Mets played a game in Sarasota, Florida, on Monday and they open the season Thursday in D.C. But once in the Dome, Syndergaard “embraced� the scene, Mets’ outfielder Brandon Nimmo said. He was one of two Mets pitchers to throw bullpens on a special mound built just for the occasion. Syndergaard threw less than 20 pitches, seemingly all fastballs.
“They did a great job of building (the mound),â€? Mets manager Mickey Callaway said. â€œâ€Ś You didn’t even have to rake it.â€? But the highlight of the day came when Syndergaard emerged from one of the Dome’s tunnels with the large, white flag that features a block “Sâ€? that is waved during SU athletic events. It was all Syndergaard’s idea, Callaway said. He ran around half of the Dome’s perimeter carrying the flag, then he headed to midfield. Syndergaard had expressed conditioning concerns before the Syracuse trip. Callaway said Syndergaard got his work in, though. “He got a lot of conditioning in running that flag around today,â€? see mets page 6

Annual march to address sexual violence By Haley Robertson feature editor
Syracuse University’s annual Take Back the Night event will be held Wednesday evening. The three-part event includes a rally at Hendricks Chapel, a march around campus and a speak-out to raise awareness of sexual and relationship violence. More than 70 campus organizations signed the pledge to endorse the event, said Michelle Goode, a health promotion specialist at SU’s Office of Health Promotion. The pledge is meant to help prevent interpersonal violence by encouraging people to not be a bystander when they see it happening, she said. Volunteers will hang paper stars around Hendricks Chapel with inspirational messages written by individuals who have signed the pledge. “You’ll see all the different ideas that other people have for how they’re actually going to take an active role in helping to prevent violence,” Goode said. The rally will start at 7 p.m. with an
opening statement by Hendricks Chapel Dean Brian Konkol, followed by speakers including Dean of Students Robert Hradsky and Associate Vice President and Chief Equal Opportunity Officer Sheila Johnson-Willis. This year’s keynote speaker is Rebecca Ortiz, an assistant professor of advertising in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Ortiz’ research focus includes health communications and media effects. Since joining the faculty at SU, Ortiz has been involved with both the Office of Health Promotion and Vera House. Ortiz works with health professionals to develop education campaigns discussing sexual health issues and sexual assault prevention. “I like for my research to not just be something that I do and then it sits in a journal,” Ortiz said. In her speech Wednesday, she hopes to deliver a message that is relevant and inspirational for everyone in attendance — regardless of how they are connected to the issues being discussed. “Even though you may not wit-
ness this, you may not know that people in your life have experienced it, it impacts your life,” Ortiz said. Interpersonal violence is about lack of power and disrespect, she said, which most people can relate to in some way. Ortiz was previously a faculty member at Texas Tech University. In her three years teaching at SU, Ortiz said she’s noticed an increased confidence among students when speaking up against problematic behaviors. Amy Buhrmaster, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, will be the featured student speaker. Buhrmaster is involved with It’s On Us SU and is also a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, whose philanthropy is focused on supporting victims of domestic violence. For Buhrmaster, one of the biggest issues surrounding sexual violence is the stigma surrounding sexual assault and domestic violence. She said the more people talk about sexual violence, the easier it is to reduce the stigma.
There will be two performances at the rally, including one by the Office of Health Promotion’s peer educators and another by the Take Back the Night Committee. People are encouraged to bring posters for the march itself, which will lead participants around campus. Following the march is a speakout, an event closed to the media during which people are welcome at the podium to express how violence has impacted their lives. Goode said the audience will be asked to put phones away to create a safe space without photography. “It’s a very emotional event and can definitely be something that takes some time to recover from,” she said, encouraging people to take time for self-care. Information about resources available both on and off campus will be available through tabling at Hendricks Chapel. — Staff writer Meredith Clark contributed reporting to this story. hrober03@syr.edu

Ex-SU student pleads guilty to animal abuse By Casey Darnell asst. news editor
Former Syracuse University student Dancheng Wang may be deported to China after he admitted in court on Monday to throwing his ex-girlfriend’s cat against a wall. Wang, a 22-year-old international student from China, pleaded guilty to felony aggravated animal cruelty, Syracuse.com reported. The incident occurred during a fight with his ex-girl-
friend in October 2017. Wang was also charged with misdemeanor assault against his ex-girlfriend for hitting and kicking her. The Department of Public Safety’s investigation into the incident began in August 2018 after Wang’s ex-girlfriend reported that he repeatedly punched and kicked her during a October 2017 domestic dispute. The incident was not reported until August 2018. During the DPS investigation,
the Syracuse Police Department said it learned Wang had also caused serious injuries to the victim’s cat by repeatedly throwing it against a wall. The cat was treated at Cornell University and a local animal hospital for a fractured skull and pelvis, as well as a broken femur, and did not die, SPD said in October. The veterinary treatment cost her more than $3,000. Wang will not receive any criminal punishment if he does not
commit additional crimes for three years, but he will have to leave the United States or face deportation proceedings due to the felony charge, according to Syracuse.com. Wang is unable to leave the U.S. until he is officially sentenced, which will likely happen in May, according to Syracuse. com. After that, he will either return to China on his own or face deportation proceedings. cdarnell@syr.edu @caseydarnell_

SU should support student barbers
M
oving to Syracuse University can easily turn a student’s life around. We have to rediscover comforts we’re used to or find new things to make a different city feel like home. That can mean having to find new grocery stores and restaurants, nail salons, and, most importantly, new hair salons and barbershops. For students of color, finding a place to get their hair done can be especially challenging. There are many different hair patterns and textures. Each hair type has different ways to keep them healthy, and a skilled dresser who has experience with your patterns or texture. SU should provide more guidance in this area by promoting students who cut hair for their peers. “I think it’s important for us to deeply think about this and consider creating workshops for students, inviting the community in to speak to students about their hairdressers,
MARIA SANCHEZ
STUDENT LIFE COLUMNIST skills and specialties,” said Syeisha Byrd, director of the Office of Engagement Programs at Hendricks Chapel. “I grew up in Syracuse, so based off my personal experience, I know if you’re not from here it is difficult to find someone.” The Office of Multicultural Affairs is the one place on campus that is working to solve this issue. They provide addresses and phone numbers for multicultural beauty salons and barber shops on the back of planners. Professional hair is something everyone takes pride in. For men, they have a barbershop that’s walking distance from campus — Collins Barber & Beauty Shop. The barbers, though, who work there cannot cut the hair of
all black and Latino men at SU. The responsibility to cut hair has fallen on our peers to provide these services for us, through student barbers. A great way SU could help students of color is by having fairs or events to promote student stylists’ work. Providing a space during the weekend that student stylists can cut peers’ hair would make a difference. It would also help student hair businesses flourish. It’s not just hair. Hair is a part of our identity, and we want to feel good about ourselves when we look in the mirror. Although it’s not SU’s responsibility to make sure our hair is done, they can always do more to help us feel at home. Promoting student barbers is a great way to do that.

letter to the editor
Comptroller is the most critical SA position
T
he comptroller of the Student Association oversees the Student Activity fee and all the financial decisions SA makes. Arguably, it’s the most critical position in SA. Yet, there’s no real emphasis on the comptroller election. The student body should take into account a comptroller’s message, experience and competency going into these elections. They should look at what a candidate has done rather than what positions they’ve gained. I’ve been on the Finance Board for two years, individually helping students with budgets. Furthermore, my internships with the International Monetary Fund and World Bank coupled with my political science major and global political economy minor well prepare me to serve as comptroller. I am running for comptroller on a message of transparency, support and compassion. I have five ideas of real change I want to implement because I have seen the potential of the Finance Board and SA. Those five ideas are:
may be. As I work on streamlining the budget process, I will create a cheat sheet to share with fiscal agents to allow clarity in the meantime.
Weekly Budget Updates:
When student organizations request budgets, it’s essential that fiscal agents know how much is available to plan accordingly. I will send out weekly emails of how much money was allocated and how much is left to give for organizations.
New RSO Fiscal Training:
I want to personally consult with new student organizations’ fiscal agents to ensure they understand the budget process and successfully start up their organization at its most vulnerable point.
Financial Code Change:
The Financial Code tier system makes it harder for smaller organizations to move up and request more funds. I want to ensure accountability. Larger organizations can continue having excellent events, yet also rewarding smaller organizations for their successes. Over the years I have seen gaps in where the Finance Board can do better. And, as comptroller I vow to make these changes and listen to the student body about what they want from the Finance Board.
Finance Board Advisers:
Twelve Finance Board members are serving over 300 student organizations. I want to assign each member to organizations as peer advisers, working closely with fiscal agents in planning budgets, working appeals and whatever else students need.
Stacy Omosa Comptroller Candidate Maxwell School for Citizenship and Public Affairs, political science major Syracuse University 2020
Fiscal Agent Cheat Sheet:
I understand the complex and contradictory the budget process

He added that DPS does a good job of protecting students. “In terms of being transparent and accountable, based on conversations I’ve had with Bobby Maldonado and Tony Callisto and other people in DPS, I personally feel like they’re committed to what they’re doing,� Nash said. “So hopefully that’s reflected in tangible actions.� Nash works as an assistant copy editor in The Daily Orange’s feature department. SA presidential candidate Mackenzie Mertikas and vice presidential candidate Sameeha Saied called the new developments a “good next step.� Still, they said it was a matter of DPS taking action based on feedback from the survey that was released.

He said that releasing the map does not answer questions that students have about how the department operates. Golden said DPS constantly breaks up parties held by students of color and marginalized communities because “the university has no vested interest in holding white people and white fraternities accountable� when throwing parties. At last month’s forum, Maldonado said parties hosted by white students were referred for noise complaints more often than parties hosted by students of color.

Building the foundation Women in Architecture Series highlights innovative contributions to industry By Mandy Kraynak staff writer
T
he Women in Architecture Series at the Everson Museum of Art highlights the contributions of women in the field. The series wraps up this week — the final week of Women’s History Month — with a lecture from Lori Brown, a professor of architecture at Syracuse University. The series began last fall to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Everson Museum of Art’s construction. Previous guest lecturers include women architects like Linda Zhang, Julia Czerniak and Yutaka Sho. DJ Hellerman, the curator of art & programs at the Everson, said the purpose of the Women in Architecture Series is to highlight local architects who are working in innovative ways.
In her presentation Thursday at 6:30 p.m., Brown will discuss the projects she has been working on the past decade. Some of these projects, she says, aim to create more exposure for women in architecture. Her other projects deal with the intersections between gender and identity, particularly in politicized spaces. “The more politically motivated work was, in part, started because I was really frustrated with the disciplined slowness, if not apathy, to engage the really political, spatial relationship,” she said. Brown found inspiration from women architecture students early on in her career at SU. She said the students talked with her about their frustrations regarding the lack of conversations surrounding women architects in their classes. Brown faced frustrations similar to those of her students see architecture page 8

Salt City Market to open downtown in fall 2020 By Kelsey Thompson asst. feature editor
Despite a closing time of 4 p.m., the scents of freshly brewed coffee and sweet pastries wafted through Salt City Coffee at 6 on Monday evening as more than 30 community members and local food vendors settled into armchairs. At the front of the room, My Lucky Tummy founder Adam Sudmann took a sip of his iced coffee before turning ahead and facing the crowd before him. “A lot of people don’t start with
a lot of fortune,” he said, “but start with a lot of talent and drive and a compelling concept.” In the fall of 2020, Sudmann will tackle his new role as market manager at Salt City Market, an upcoming regional market set to open at the intersection of South Salina Street and Onondaga Street, across from the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. The emerging community space is designed to unite people of varying cultural backgrounds, talents and business expertise under one common mis-
sion: breaking bread.
24,000 Square footage of the ground floor of Salt City Market
Through a shared meal, Sudmann said he aims to cultivate a feeling of inclusion for Syracuse residents — particularly people of
color and immigrant communities — who, historically, haven’t always had a seat at the table. “Let’s be honest: we don’t have a lot of spaces in Syracuse that everyone feels welcomed in,” Sudmann said. “This is a shared space. This is a learning experience for everybody.” The concept for the impending market, Sudmann said, extends from inspiration he’s taken from both the Central New York Regional Market on the Northside see market page 8
Each year, the Setnor School of Music selects two students studying music industry to lead its PRISM Concert. Seniors Steven Visceglia and Rebecca Ross were selected to lead the 20th annual concert, having been inspired by what they saw at last year’s concert. “It’s a pretty big undertaking that not a lot of people want to do,” Visceglia said. But after witnessing another successful performance last year, Visceglia said he knew he and Ross wanted to take on the challenge. The free concert is set to take place Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at Setnor Auditorium in Crouse College. The show is open to the public and will feature performances from a variety of musicians not only from Setnor, but majors across campus. After auditioning more than 20 bands, Ross said they found a diverse set of performances, including a Brazilian ensemble, jazz/funk groups, solo performances and a cappella groups. In a concert like PRISM, the lighting and sound sequences are essential to the show, but Ross and Visceglia reiterated that their main focus is the talent on the stage — the lighting is just a complementary aspect, he said. For Ryan McKeown, a sound recording technology major, PRISM is both an opportunity to jumpstart students’ careers and highlight various ensembles and musical styles. “Last year I performed with my old band, but this concert marks the beginning of my solo career as I hope to release my EP this upcoming summer, “ McKeown said, He added that he thinks PRISM is a perfect venue for artistic expression and that he plans on debuting a new song called “Doubt.” The inspiration for the track, McKeown said, is highlighting the “tumultuous” times during his freshman year. PRISM not only features solo acts, but bands like Settle for Sadler, an indie group started by a group of sound recording technology majors. The band formed after two of its members, Rylan Mortensen and Andrew Garces, asked one another to play together freshman year. Kyle Beirne, the band’s lead bassist, said a crucial component to Settle for Sadler is its emphasis on their personal brand. “We’re a band that’s always thinking about associating our music with an aesthetic,” Beirne said. “The stage and lighting really fits our vibe and the auditorium is fantastic.” Lead singer Mortensen said that what has contributed most to the band is the relationship between its members. Not only does the eagerness extending from performers toward PRISM highlight the tradition and longevity of the event, but the respect and admiration performers have for one another. jlyons@syr.edu

Red Sun Rising to perform at The Lost Horizon on Friday By Kerri McAneney contributing writer
For alternative rock fans, it may be surprising to hear that kind of band cover song from The Beach Boys. But alt-rock band Red Sun Rising’s new four-track EP, “Peel,” features a cover of the classic song “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” that gained popularity after being featured in the film “50 First Dates.” Red Sun Rising will make a stop in Syracuse on Friday night at The Lost Horizon. They will be joined by Goodbye June, Dirty Money and My Manic Mind. The band kicked off its tour in Louisville, Kentucky earlier this month. The Beach Boys, along with The Beatles, serve as some of the group’s biggest influences for tracks on its newest EP. Red Sun Rising draws on specific components from these artists. Vocalist Mike Protich said that in The Beach Boys cover, they emulate the orchestral percussion work by mixing in hand percussion with a barilla drum kit sound. He added that “Peel” lets the group try something dramatically different from their usual style when recreating The Beach Boys’ hit. “It was a really cool exercise for the band to experiment in that type of production,” he said. “That was of our first challenge. Figuring
out how they built that and recreating that … It’ll help us in the future with how we look at our songs and how we structure them.” Fans can expect a new twist on some of the tracks that they know well. The rest of the songs on the EP are reworked versions of popular songs from Red Sun Rising, like “Left For Dead,” “The Otherside” and “Blister.” Protich said the final product of each track isn’t much different from how the group initially writes them. “We wanted to present the songs in the form at which they are created before production is put on them,” the band member explained. “I think they capture the emotion of the lyrics a little differently, in some ways better.” When dreaming up these songs, Protich and his fellow bandmates start off with an acoustic guitar and focus heavily on the melody. He said taking a step back to go over older tracks with a new ear allows them to connect more with these songs. For these new tracks, the band members aim to focus on the lyrics and tone of the songs. Protich emphasized how much their loyal listeners enjoy the band trying out new things with their sound while on the road. To him, it’s not a bad thing if the live performance doesn’t sound exactly like the record. After the tour finishes up, the band is plan-

ning on playing at a few music festivals over the summer while also making time to create new music. This past year, the group has been working on an upcoming album but has not set a release date.
“We’ve been writing like crazy and there’s already a lot of great ideas,” Protich said. “I guess a new record will be on the horizon at some point, we have to get these out.” kmcanene@syr.edu

‘Vision of Sound’ concert unites area’s composers, dancers By Izzy Bartling staff writer
Eleven years ago, composer Mark Olivieri had an idea for an event that would bring together the western New York artistic community. He wanted to create a space for those who enjoy seeing the product of hard work and collaboration. His concept lead to “Vision of Sound,” a show presented by the Society for New Music, that showcases an artistic fusion of live music and dance. This year’s performance will take place on Sunday at 3 p.m. at The Oncenter’s Carrier Theater. “Vision of Sound” will showcase the creativity of various composers, choreographers, musicians and dancers — from the shores of Lake Erie to the Adirondacks — who have collaborated to put together a series of original works. What makes the show special, choreographer Lynea D’Aprix of the Ballet & Dance of Upstate NY and Camillus Dance Centre said, is that the performances are just as much of a surprise to the musicians and dancers as it will be for its audiences. “We don’t really ever know exactly how it’s going to be played, and they don’t know exactly
how we’re going to dance,” D’Aprix said, “so we just have that moment of connection on the stage for the audience to witness and then that’s it.” Each piece included in the program varies in length and meaning. Olivieri said he and his wife, Alaina, always try to put together a group of eclectic choreographers and composers so there is no chance of seeing the same piece again. Once the choreographers and composers are chosen, the choreographers receive a recording of a specific composer’s musical composition. From there, they build a connection to the sound by listening to it many times before translating their interpretations of the music into a series of dance moves. Erika Ruegemer of the Rochester Dance Theater said she gives the music time to settle into her blood and tell her what to do rather than “make up movements.” She is choreographing Olivieri’s piece “Soulless Chastity,” a 15-minute piano solo performed by Oswego pianist Rob Auler. Ruegemer interpreted it as a piece about human connection and how easy it is to isolate ourselves from one another. She conveys this through the movements of four dancers in three different parts.
The work begins with all four dancers picking and grabbing at each other as they dance to a steady, upbeat rhythm. It then shifts to the second movement, where the music becomes slower and less layered and the dance turns into a solo that Ruegemer will be dancing. “That movement is going to show this idea of when you’re alone and you like being alone, but then you’ve been alone too long and you need to get out into the world and have those connections,” she said. The third movement brings back all four dancers and then ends with Ruegemer alone once again, but this time she moves with freedom and a sense of contentment knowing she has established those connections with others. Like “Soulless Chastity,” many of the pieces featured at the show explore various aspects of the human experience, including Natalie Draper’s “Shifting Landscapes.” Draper, an assistant professor at Syracuse University, said that her piece was heavily inspired by her interest in musical transitions, so she has involved a number of shifts in rhythm in it. The piece as a whole works to depict the experience of sitting in a train and
looking out the window, watching as the landscape changes over time. “In the beginning of the piece, there’s a really angular, rhythmic kind of harsh sounding music that just jump cuts like in a film to this very smooth, dream-like music and then jump cuts back to the angular music,” Draper said. Many of the composers have not actually seen the choreographies to their music and the dancers won’t have practiced with the live music until the actual show. Performers added there will be a real element of surprise as audiences watch the dancers react to the live musicians onstage — something that doesn’t happen when dancing to a recording. Octavio Vazquez, whose piece entitled “MusicScapes” will be performed in collaboration with choreographer Mariko Yamada, said that something magical happens when the two art forms of dance and music come together onstage. “Everything is very much alive,” Vazquez said. “It’s very much happening, and there’s an excitement and energy that would be missing if we would be using a recording.”
Qiana Williams, the former curator of public programs at the Everson, initiated the Women in Architecture Series and chose its speakers. Hellerman, Curator of Education Kimberly Griffiths and Assistant Curator Steffi Chappell have helped see the program to completion. Previous speaker Yutaka Sho went on a sabbatical abroad last year, where she spent seven months in Rwanda and five months in Japan. In Rwanda, Sho worked on constructing free
housing and public building projects, including a health center and a library. In January, as part of the Women in Architecture Series, Sho discussed her experiences in Rwanda and Japan and the role of architects in the global development industry. Sho said the series is a way to educate others about the need for reform in the global development industry, which she said exploits both an economic and political gap. “It was an opportunity for me to paint a pic-
ture of the situation we work in and make sure that people understand it’s not all glorious and pretty and doing good,” Sho said. She believes that collectively — with the audience and others in the field — work like this can help create change within the industry. “(We) start to think about how we can improve the working conditions, the discrepancies that exist among the countries, among the classes, among the races,” she said.
vidual food stalls available for rent on one to two-year leases. Most stalls will be approximately 300 sq. ft., with plans for a couple of 150 sq. ft. smaller ones as well. “We’re hoping to keep this a really active place that welcomes people in for a variety of reasons,” Sudmann said. He added that his vision for an indoor market with outdoor accessibility for the warmer seasons will help keep the space fresh despite Syracuse’s inclement winter weather. “We want somewhere to get out and stretch your legs in the wintertime,” he added. Kira Crawford, the director of Up Start at CenterState CEO, a business development center in downtown Syracuse, will join Sudmann
to help match food merchants with several financial advisors, assisting them with grants and loans for their prospective businesses. As discussed by Sudmann, Crawford stressed that this is a learning experience. She wants to accommodate all merchants, regardless of their current financial status or experience. “In some cases, we don’t tell you exactly who to work with, but we can make recommendations based on what we know and people’s individual situations,” Crawford said. “We want to make sure that regardless of where people have been in their past life, they have the ability to access the money to make money.” With excavations on the site set to begin in six to eight weeks, Sudmann is also gearing
up for vendor applicants and the subsequent interview process, which includes attending an information session, four basic food classes, recipe development and participating in two upcoming food pop-up events. Beyond the logistics of the application process and gaining familiarity with business programs like QuickBooks, he said the heart of his concept is its most essential: you need to have great food paired with immense passion for the business to be most successful. For Sudmann, the vision is simple. “A cultural crossroads,” he said. “A place to rub shoulders with all of your neighbors.”

reebok coach Brien Bell had been with Syracuse since Fox’s first year, a staple in the rebuild. Once Bell was officially named head coach in September, Smith said, leaving felt easier. The other piece that eased the transition was the Syracuse connection at Reebok. Once summer hit, Knight, Bennie and Germano had to figure out where they were going to continue their careers, all unaware of the plan that Fox and Smith had in place. ‘“When he told me he was considering it, it was like ‘Woah,’” Knight said. “That’s when it all became very real to me.” Knight and Fox signed on in mid-July, and Bennie and Germano joined by the end of the from page 12

When he returned from road trips around 9 p.m. or 10 p.m., he drove by Elaine’s house and, if the light was on in Elizabeth’s room, Boeheim stopped in and kissed her goodnight. “I started to become more of a human when my oldest daughter, Elizabeth, (Lizzy) came into my life,” Boeheim wrote in his book, “Bleeding Orange: Fifty Years of Blind Referees, Screaming Fans, Beasts of the East, and Syracuse Basketball.” Before his SU basketball road trips, he brought her to Barnes & Noble on Erie

defense They’ve made some technical changes as well. The backline prioritized one-on-one situations and gauged when to charge a ball handler. The added pressure brought Syracuse from 96th in caused turnovers last year to 33rd. Each of the upperclassmen brings something to the defense as well, Radziewicz said. Simkins gets backchecks and causes a lot of turnovers. She is tied for first in the team as a result. Defliese brings aggression to the field and is able to get good “bumps,” first contact with a ball handler. As for Radziewicz, she prides herself on the ability to handle any attack’s dodge. Against Notre Dame, Defliese’s aggression slowed the game late in the second half. The Fighting Irish cleared the ball and rushed the net, but Defliese switched
summer. With their additions, Reebok now boasted four-fifths of Syracuse’s national championship team point-getters. “We were definitely a little bit surprised that he was going to make the move,” Bennie said. “But it also actually makes a lot of sense. It’s the natural step forward. There’s progression on the coaching side of things too … There was no better time to do it than with Justyn graduating and me and Philo moving on too. It gave us all a perfect opportunity to keep doing what we love doing.” Unlike in college, where decisions are constantly made for you, Hehir said, these runners now are on their own and have to make their own life choices. As someone that has been a professional since graduating from SU in 2015, Hehir has helped out his younger
teammates in guiding them for how to live as a professional. One of his biggest messages has been to keep a busy lifestyle full of meaningful activity to offset the stresses of being a professional athlete and not letting running consume them. There have also been changes in training. Although the team practices together every day, runners are preparing for entirely different races. In college, everyone was on essentially the same race schedule. Now Knight is currently preparing for the World Championships in September, while Bennie is currently training for the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. Plus, by their senior year, Reebok’s runners were some of the best in the country. Nearly everyone on the team was some form of a champion, Smith said.
“It’s like high school where you go from being the best high school runner on your team to college where everybody’s good,” Smith said. “You go from being the best in college and everybody’s good again … You’re training with five of the best guys in the world.” Although a professional team, the move to Reebok is one which closely resembles Fox’s journey to Syracuse. He accepted a job for a relatively unknown program in its field with a blueprint to change its course. With a star and several overlooked runners, he built Syracuse into a champion, and he plans on doing the same in the pros. “To be able to keep living the dream together, with family,” Germano said. “That’s special.”
Boulevard East in DeWitt for books to read on his next road trip. Elizabeth indulged in books herself as she progressed through the Jamesville-DeWitt Central School District, from which she graduated in 2003, the year of Syracuse’s national championship. Boeheim appreciated how she taught him to be more dynamic than what casual fans see on the court. The support system he had with her helped him live a healthier and happier life. From Elizabeth, he found a softer persona in himself. “I think my dad is really lucky in having a singular objective and clear passion,” Elizabeth said. “I’ve always envied that of him. He has loved and been committed to basketball all life, but I also think that can block out other things. Having kids and a family makes a person realize the richness that might be beyond
a singular goal. He’d been focused for a while, and I think having kids forced him to think about that some more.” Growing up, Elizabeth fell in love with travel because she accompanied her father on some of his road trips. A few years later, in 1997, her father married Juli. Elizabeth was the maid of honor at their wedding in Syracuse. “I miss my family and dad a lot, but I always wanted to own my own home and travel,” Elizabeth said. “I wanted a family, never grand ambitions, few career goals. Nothing super specific. I just wanted the simple things in life.” Over the years, Elizabeth visited Anchorage, Alaska, the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, Hawaii and a bunch of NCAA Tournament locations, including sites along the 2003 title run with Boeheim and Juli. The title coincided with her senior year
of high school. Then, she thought hard about attending Syracuse and was accepted to the university. But she wanted to branch out and chose Colby College, a small liberal arts school in Maine. She pursued a master’s degree at the University of Montana. Even though she doesn’t see her father often, she loves him deeply for the person he is. She understands what fans see on TV — yelling at players and berating officials — but she knows that’s not what defines him. “Of course he’s an incredible coach who has built a really successful career that stands out among other greats,” Elizabeth said of her father. “He’s a thoughtful person. He’s smart. He pays attention to the world and he’s a really good father. He cares more about his kids than anything else. I’m glad he’s my dad.”
to guard the immediate threat. Her gamble caused the player to run behind the net and toe the endline. After most games this season, Gait’s credited his defense. After the eventual 10-9 win on March 24, he didn’t waver. “(The defense) were the stars of the game today,” Gait said on Feb. 12 after beating Binghamton, 15-5. “The defense had a great second half,” he said after it held Notre Dame to one goal in the second half of SU’s 10-9 victory. “Again, my hat goes off to the defense who just played amazing,” he said once the Orange beat Virginia, 16-11. A veteran group has bounced back after a 2018 campaign proved the defense as Syracuse’s weakest link. Now, the defense has in part lifted the Orange past five ranked teams and to their highest ranking since 2016. klwasile@syr.edu @kaci_waz

Chris Fox is rebuilding Reebok’s running team like he did at SU By Matt Liberman staff writer
R
umors began in the spring. Running boards such as LetsRun.com linked then-Syracuse head coach Chris Fox’s name to the head coaching position at the new Reebok Boston Track Club. “We had heard a few things about it,” former SU AllAmerican Colin Bennie said. “But we were all like ‘there’s no way he’s gonna do that.’” Going through the indoor and outdoor track seasons, those rumors persisted, but still no one believed Fox would leave, until the official notice came in mid-July. Reebok announced the revival of its running program with the addition of Fox as the head coach for the new Reebok Boston Track Club based out of Charlottesville, Virginia, along with former SU assistant Adam Smith. Justyn Knight, Syracuse’s only individual national champion, would become its headline runner. “Everything had to align,” Smith said. “I don’t think Coach Fox would’ve taken the Reebok job without Justyn.” Within weeks, Bennie and fellow All-American Philo Germano followed suit, along with a handful of other top collegiate runners from around the country. Seemingly overnight Reebok executed its blueprint, establishing itself as an up-and-coming power in the running world. Fox, who rebuilt Syracuse from one of the nation’s worst teams into its best, planned to rebuild Reebok with the same people who redefined SU. “All-Americans and national championships are outstanding,” Bennie said. “But Olympians and professional championships are also pretty unbelievable.” Knight, who had virtually every major running club in the nation trying to sign him, he said, refused to talk to any team until his SU career ended. Reebok wasn’t initially one of the teams on his radar. When he saw Reebok announce former-NCAA Team National Champion Kemoy Campbell and former SU All-American Martin Hehir as its first two runners, Knight didn’t understand the move. “I remember when (Hehir) signed, I was like ‘Oh, that’s a pretty bold move,’” Knight said. “Because I didn’t know anyone else that ran for Reebok or even that they had a team.” Reebok once was one of the oldest running companies in the United States, Smith said. But recently the company focused its attention on CrossFit and Ultimate Fighting Championship, taking a step back from the running scene. At the same time that Reebok signed Hehir and Campbell, the company communicated with Fox. But Fox made it clear he wasn’t going to make a decision until after the outdoor season, Smith said. Fox and Smith had just captured the program’s first cross country national title in school history. Fox had been with the school since 2005, turning it from one of the worst running programs in the nation into the best, but leaving meant a current group of runners had to uphold what Fox built. “These kids … these are the guys you’ve been with for the last five, six, seven years,” Smith said. “The countless van rides, the workouts, the hugs after races. These are people who you’re going to battle with … We did some really special things at Syracuse … That was the hardest part.” The runners were supportive, Smith said, understanding Fox and Smith’s opportunity.

Meet Jim Boeheim’s 1st daughter, Elizabeth By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer
SALT LAKE CITY — Elizabeth Boeheim is the only member of her immediate family who lives nowhere near where Syracuse plays its games. She’s the only child who didn’t get involved in basketball, and she has the only BOEHEIM first name in her
immediate family that doesn’t start with a “J.” In Montana, she lives without an attachment to her father’s name. According to her estimation, a stranger asks about her last name only five or six times per year. She doesn’t see herself moving anytime soon. She can blend in. Elizabeth, 33, lives in Missoula, Montana, about 500 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah where Syracuse fell to Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In 1985, SU head coach Jim Boeheim had
no children. He resisted adopting a child, but his ex-wife, Elaine, wanted to adopt a kid. In June, they adopted Elizabeth when she was one week old. Elizabeth attended the Orange’s season-ending loss on Thursday night, seated next to her stepmom — Boeheim’s wife, Juli — in the first row right behind the Syracuse bench. Elizabeth rarely attends games in the Carrier Dome. She doesn’t have cable, and because of the time difference, she doesn’t watch SU basketball from her home in Montana. Every year, she visits her family — Elizabeth
either goes to Syracuse or Boeheim makes a summer trip to Montana to fish with her. They dine at The Pearl Café on East Front Street near Elizabeth’s home. But while they don’t see each other often, Syracuse’s first round matchup with Baylor offered Elizabeth an opportunity to cheer on her father’s team in person, directly behind his bench. “She’s a great girl, a treasure in our life” Juli said. “I always tell her, ‘I married your dad because of you.’” After Boeheim and Elaine see boeheim page 10
Veteran defense carries No. 3 SU By Kaci Wasilewski asst. digital editor
Last season, when Kerry Defliese prepared for her sophomore season, Regy Thorpe presented her with a change. Defliese had redshirted her freshman campaign due to a concussion. So while practicing defensive drills, the associate head coach approached her. “Do you want to play defense?” Defliese remembered he said. Defliese had a history with the position at Garden City (N.Y.) High School. And at SU, her oldest sister, Caitlin, helped Thorpe coach the defenders. Defliese, then a midfielder, welcomed the challenge. “Sure, I’ll do whatever you need me to do,” Defliese answered. During her first season as a defender, Defliese, along with Alexa Radziewicz and Ella Simkins who also moved from midfield, anchored No. 3 Syracuse’s (10-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) defense, SU head coach Gary Gait said. The three started all 19 games for SU, and Simkins was first on the team in caused turnovers (18) while Defliese and Radziewicz were tied for second with 15 apiece.

Syracuse’s rank for scoring defense
But, the defense was Syracuse’s weakest link — ranked 91st in the country for scoring defense — in its first losing season in program history. Now, the defense is causing turnovers and keeping opposing teams from going on scoring runs. They’re the part of the team Gait attributes SU’s wins. “Kerry and Ella both embraced their roles on defense,” Radziewicz said. “They made the transition very well.” Against then-No. 12 Notre Dame on Sunday, Defliese and Syracuse’s backline led the second-half comeback — Syracuse had let up eight goals and 13 shots on goal in the previous frame. At halftime, the defense talked about guarding Maddie Howe, the Notre Dame attack who had six first-half points. SU zoned in and limited Howe to just one in the second frame as the rest of the unit blanketed UND’s attack. Three of Syracuse’s four starting defenders are juniors. And while Defliese and Simkins lacked experience, the unit developed together, Radziewicz said. They’ve built trust and stronger communication skills to know where each other are on the field at all times. see defense page 10
