fter decades of population decline, the city of Syracuse has begun to experience a small boost in its overall population. Millennials are overwhelmingly leading the growth. Syracuse has historically struggled with population decline, and has lost about 77,000 people since 1950. The city’s population increased by about 0.32% between 2017 and 2018, according to census data. The increase is small, only a few hundred people, but Syracuse was the only major city in New York state to see a population increase that year. “It wasn’t a large amount, but it is certainly in the right direction and something that we think bodes well for the future,” Mayor Ben Walsh said at a media roundtable on Friday. Estimates from the National Association of Realtors also reveal that a significant portion of new residents — roughly three out of four — who have moved to the city since 2017 are millennials, or people who are in their mid-20s to mid-30s. The majority of millennials moving to Syracuse in the past decade have settled in the downtown neighborhood, resulting in a 70% population increase in the area, said Alice Maggiore, communications director of the Syracuse Downtown Committee. Syracuse’s slight population increase is part of bigger trend among fellow Rust Belt cities, said Alan Mallach, a senior fellow at the Center for Community Progress in Washington, D.C. Over the past 20 years, Rust Belt cities have seen a significant shift in their population, with an increasing number of millennials driving this resurgence, Mallach said. In Rochester, about two-thirds of new city residents are millennials. As of 2017, millennials accounted for more than one-fifth of the residents in Cleveland, another Rust Belt city. Almost 60% of these residents had moved to the city within the past few years. These cities have become appealing to younger people due to expanding job opportunities in the fields of health care and higher education,

A Syracuse University student is suing Juul Labs, the e-cigarette company, after he experienced “catastrophic personal injuries” about two years after he began using the company’s products. Maxwell Berger, 22, experienced a hemorrhagic stroke in July 2017 that paralyzed the left side of his body, caused him to lose half his vision in both eyes and led to cognitive impairments and brain damages, according to the lawsuit filed in July 2019. He began using Juul in 2015, and eventually came to use up to two pods per day around the time of stroke. Berger alleges that the e-cigarette played a significant role in his injuries. The lawsuit comes as there are more than 400 reported cases of lung illnesses related to vaping or e-cigarette use —five of which possibly resulted in death, according to The New York Times. In New York state, there have been 41 cases of severe, vaping-related lung illness reported. At least one case was reported in central New York. The 41 cases reported to the New York State Department of Health involve the use of at least one vape product containing cannabis prior to becoming sick. The department announced Thursday that Vitamin E oil appeared in nearly all of the samples containing cannabis that were analyzed. The oil is now the primary focus of the investigation. While hospitalized for more than 100 days, Berger had three brain surgeries and experienced a severe nicotine withdrawal that led doctors to provide him with a nicotine patch. The lawsuit did not explicitly state whether Berger experienced any lung illnesses. “While he has and will continue to fight for his recovery and to lead as normal a life as possible, Mr. Berger’s brain and other physical injuries have caused him to become more withdrawn, depressed, aggressive and impatient with his family and friends,” the lawsuit states. Berger is listed in SU’s directory as a junior in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. He did not respond to requests for comment sent to his university email address. Berger is represented by the law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP. Sarah London, an attorney representing Berger, was not available for an interview. The lawsuit also claims that Juul, other e-cigarette companies, researchers and marketing see juul page 4

The Marshall adds security after intruder

Policy differs for support animals

The Marshall Syracuse, a luxury student housing complex, will install a 24-hour patrol after a person trespassed on the property after an alarm evacuation. The evacuation occurred at The Marshall on Sept. 6, according to an email sent to the complex’s residents the next day. Police arrived at The Marshall following the fire alarm evacuation due to the trespasser. The Marshall’s management is currently assisting the Syracuse Police Department in its investi-

gation of the incident. The property also has safety control measures and surveillance cameras in place. SPD spokesperson Sgt. Matthew Malinowski said Monday that he was unaware of an incident at The Marshall. A Department of Public Safety spokesperson said the incident was not in DPS’ jurisdiction. DPS’ jurisdiction includes both the SU campus and all properties that are owned, controlled or administered by the university. The Marshall is not owned by SU. Malinowski did not respond to a second request for comment in time for publication.

Anne Love, a resident of The Marshall, said she wished the email The Marshall sent had shared more information. “The email confused me because I wasn’t sure if the intruder was still in the building when they sent that email,” Love said. “I feel like the email was kind of pointless because they didn’t tell us any real information, like what did this intruder look like.” Deanna Lazo, another resident of The Marshall, said the incident didn’t make her nervous be-cause a key fob is required to get into the building’s units. She said knowing

the circumstances of the incident might make her think differently. A spokesperson for The Marshall said in a statement the complex has communicated with its residents about adhering to security measures that require all doors be securely shut after entry and entrances not opened for non-residents. “The safety and well-being of our residents remains our top priority,” the spokesperson said. “We have nightly security at the property, and we are fully cooperating with local authorities in their investigation.” ajrouhan@syr.edu

Maddie Jones lives in Shaw Hall with Copernicus, a five-month-old golden retriever puppy and Jones’ service dog. Copernicus has been in training since May, when he was only eight weeks old, said Jones, a freshman bioengineering major. The service dog alerts her to migraine caused by a 2017 injury. He can also bring her medicine and help with instability and dizziness caused by her migraine. “He’s honestly the reason why I’m able to go to college,” she said. “He’s made me super independent.” Syracuse University is required by law to allow students to have service animals in university housing, whether on Main or South Campus, as they are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The requirement does not extend to emotional support animals. SU’s Assistance Animal Policy describes a service animal as providing “active” support, while an emotional support animal provides “passive” support. Students looking to bring an assistance animal to SU have to follow different procedures, depending on which category their animal falls into.

There’s plenty of studies now that show that having animals does reduce stress. Stephen Kuusisto director of interdisciplinary programs and outreach at burton blatt institute

Barnes Center gym open to SUNY-ESF students Josh Chandra

contributing writer

SUNY-ESF students will now be able to take advantage of resources and amenities offered at the Barnes Center at The Arch, which just opened in August after more than a year of renovations. The Arch borders the ESF campus, giving students a variety of recreational activities close to their campus. Anne Lombard, the college’s vice provost and dean for student affairs, said the project will be “tremendously positive” for the ESF student experience. It has the potential to be a popular resource for students to spend their time

outside of academics because ESF doesn’t have any recreational facilities of its own, she said. “There are a lot of new amenities that ESF students can take advantage of,” said Peter Huber, acting president of ESF Undergraduate Student Association. ESF students will have access to almost all the new amenities offered by The Arch. Some of these include a rock-climbing wall, a multi-level gym, an indoor track and a new pool. There will also be an e-sports gaming room open daily to students that includes a virtual reality unit, 36 personal computer gaming stations and 6 console stations for Xbox, PlaySta-

tion and Nintendo. “With construction ending, the new facility will provide a good way for students to enhance their experience at ESF,” Huber said. The Arch’s opening comes after SU and ESF renewed their partnership agreement in late August to allow both student populations to participate in academic and student life activities between the two universities. Still, several students said they felt The Arch wasn’t advertised well to the ESF student body. SU touted the new facility on its website, in construction updates and news releases, but for some ESF students, it went unnoticed.

Lizzie Waterhouse, a senior at ESF and member of the Undergraduate Student Association, said that with more communication between the two schools, more students would know about the facility on the ESF campus. “SU services are really poorly advertised at ESF so it’s hard to know exactly what we’re allowed to use,” Waterhouse said. The only amenities that will not be available to ESF students are the health and counseling services that are offered by SU. However, similar services are already offered to students attending ESF through the college’s student affairs offices. jjchandr@syr.edu

Paula Possenti-Perez, director of the Office of Disability Services, said service animals do not have to register through the office. If it is “readily apparent that the animal is a service animal,” no further information is required, according to the policy. In other cases, the owner may have to give advance notice to ODS or Housing, Meal Plan, and I.D. Card Services. They may also have to explain the task the animal performs, but the animal will not have to demonstrate the task. At SU, emotional support animals are most often treated as a housing accommodation, Possenti-Perez said. The office usually speaks with both a therapist and the student regarding the request she said. ODS has a specific request form which a student’s therapist can fill out. “It’s the same way we approve any other accommodation,” she said. “We’re looking at the nexus between the disability and the environmental impact.” A housing committee within ODS then discusses the information see animals page 4

population which have replaced the manufacturing industry as the main areas of employment in the country, Mallach said. More than 40% of all jobs in Syracuse today are part of the healthcare and higher education fields. The strength of these industries is driven by the city’s proximity to institutions like Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University, Mallach said. “If you think back to the 1960s, there were hospitals, there were colleges, but they were a very tiny factor economically,” Mallach said. “Manufacturing was the thing that drove cities.” Technological innovation is becoming more common in revitalizing Rust Belt cities, like Syracuse, that are based around large universities and medical organizations, Mallach said. These research institutions often lead to the development of tech growth, which attracts highly-skilled and educated young from page 1

companies did not disclose the health risks associated with their products. Berger was first exposed to Juul advertisements in mid2015, during his senior year of high school, according to the lawsuit. “The companies are advertising these things as harmless and we’re seeing more and more now that that’s not the case,” said Karyn Johnson, program coordinator of the Onondaga County Health Department’s tobacco program. Berger developed an addiction to Juul, which contains the highly addictive chemical nicotine, within weeks of first using the product, the lawsuit claims. He frequently used Juul products through July 2017, and eventually reached a point where he inhaled from the device every 10 to 20 minutes, according to the lawsuit. Prior to using Juul, Berger didn’t have a nicotine addiction. He didn’t know the devices contained the chemical when he first began using, according to the lawsuit. Ted Kwong, a spokesperson for Juul, said in an emailed statement to The Daily Orange

people seeking jobs in the tech field. In the past few years, Syracuse’s focus on growing its tech sector has encouraged several tech companies and startups to establish operations in the city. Walsh’s administration aims to revitalize the city through his Syracuse Surge plan, a combination of different projects intended to create new jobs and educational opportunities in the tech field. Syracuse is beginning to craft a city-wide technological infrastructure, including a centralized street light system and a 5G cellular network, said Jennifer Tifft, deputy commissioner of the city’s Department of Neighborhood and Business Development. The city hopes to boost economic growth through these technological initiatives, she said. “These technologies help the city achieve a higher degree of connectivity, productivity and efficiency and meet some of the needs and desires of the millennial generation,” Tifft said. “We very much want to create an environment here, through technology, that facilitates that the company’s product is only meant to be an alternative for adults who already smoke. “To the extent this case alleges otherwise, it is without merit and we will defend our mission throughout this process,” he said. Juul Labs implemented an action plan in November 2018 to address underage Juul use. The company halted distribution of mango, creme, cucumber and fruit Juul pod flavors. The flavors are now only sold on the company’s website, which now has controls to restrict users under 21 years of age from purchasing products. In New York state, 24.7% of high school students have used e-cigarettes, she said. Cuomo announced Monday that he will propose legislation banning flavored e-cigarettes. The state health department will also issue emergency regulations that require warning signs be posted in all vape and smoke stores across the state. The governor also ordered the department to issue subpoenas to three companies found to have marketed thickening agents — nearly pure vitamin E oil — to vape liquid manufacturers. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts

people’s lifestyles and livelihoods and makes it easier for everyone to achieve prosperity.” Syracuse’s technology-based growth is part of a growing trend seen across upstate New York, said John Maggiore, senior adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Regions that include large, technology-focused cities — such as Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse — have drawn in the greatest number of millennials in the past several years, he said. “In each of these counties, there is a central city that is a different place today than it was ten years ago,” Maggiore said. “There’s been development in their amenities and their public infrastructure has been improved.” Syracuse in particular has made significant changes in its downtown corridor over the past several years. The city’s once deteriorating downtown neighborhood now features dozens of new restaurants, hotels and attractions. Maggiore said this is ideal for millennials, who often want to live somewhere that they can both work and play. from page 3

animals and approves or denies the request. This process is the same for Main and South Campus housing. Possenti-Perez said it’s an “individualized process.” Jones said she had to sign a housing addendum and alert her assigned ODS counselor when she brought Copernicus to campus. “It wasn’t difficult to get him in the dorm as a service animal,” she said. While a service dog may go anywhere without fees or restrictions, an emotional support animal is not legally considered a service animal, said Stephen Kuusisto, director of Interdisciplinary Programs and Outreach at SU’s Burton Blatt Institute. Emotional support animals are meant to help owners who struggle with anxietyrelated issues, but their lack of training may get in the way of that, Kuusisto said. He has a seeing-eye dog who assists him on a daily basis. “There’s plenty of studies now that show that having animals does reduce stress,” he

Still, even as Rust Belt cities like Syracuse begin to experience overall economic growth, the revival of these cities remains uneven. While Syracuse’s millennial population has increased, many long-time city residents in low-income neighborhoods are not being included in the city’s prosperity, Mallach said. While downtown Syracuse has flourished, other neighborhoods have been ignored and continue to see concentrated poverty, especially places where the majority of residents are people of color, Mallach said. Tifft said the city hopes to address this disparity through the Syracuse Surge initiative by helping train people from low-income neighborhoods, like the Southside, to participate in the growing economy. “We want to make sure that everyone, not only the millennial generation, has the types of job opportunities that are going to be sustainable into the future,” she said. gifollet@syr.edu

said. “(The) problem is most emotional support animals are ill-mannered and act in ways trained service animals would never.” Kuusisto previously worked as director of student services with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, one of the nation’s premier guide dog training schools. Possenti-Perez’s office received 16 requests for emotional support animals this year, with seven approvals, seven pending approvals, one withdrawal and one rejection. Once an emotional support animal is approved, a student does not have to submit a request every year, she said. The most common emotional support animal requests the office receives are for dogs, cats or rabbits, Possenti-Perez said. She added that more exotic pets may be rejected, such as if they are illegal to own. Jones said the only challenge she’s had with her service dog on campus is asking other students not to pet him. “It’s hard to explain to them that’s he’s working and not able to be distracted at certain points in time,” she said. scalessa@syr.edu

Vaccination law prioritizes public health Hookup culture can be liberating, but isn’t now

merica’s greatest threat may be the very principle it was built upon. From the moment it was founded in 1776, our young and ambitious nation set itself apart as a powerful symbol of freedom in a world still burdened by chains. Now, more than two centuries later, that ideal remains a source of pride for the American people. But is there such a thing as too much freedom? In late August, a New York Supreme Court judge rejected a request from parents to block a law that abolishes religious exemptions to vaccinations. On a campus as diverse as Syracuse’s, the impact is bound to be widespread. Prior to this bill, New York parents were able to opt their children out of vaccinations based on religious beliefs. But with this new state law in place, unvaccinated children will be kicked out of their schools as early as next month. Although protections for religious freedom are abundantly important, they can’t put the public in danger. The fight against vaccinations is not a new or uncommon one. According to a report from the New York Times, there are about 26,000 kids with religious exemptions to vaccinations living in New York. Some New Yorkers have argued that the government making rules about citizens’ personal decisions sets a dangerous precedent. It doesn’t feel like a stretch to say that punishing those in the public who disagree with the medical commuNews Editor Editorial Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Illustration Editor Copy Chief Digital Copy Chief Co-Digital Editor Co-Digital Editor Video Editor Asst.

IN MODERATION nity is a scary step forward. But the situation may not be as black and white as it initially appears. Kent Cheng, a social sciences PhD student in SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, thinks there is room for more compromise on this issue. Before enrolling in the PhD program, Cheng worked as a health policy researcher in the Philippines. “It curtails the freedom of the people, and we don’t actually want that,” Cheng said. “We want them to make the choice as they see fit but at the same time we want to balance the negative societal impact when people are starting to not get vaccinated.” The danger, however, lies in what he refers to as “herd immunity,” or the way that the general public’s safety is affected by unvaccinated individuals. Cheng said the more citizens of a community who opt out of vaccinations, the more risk of infection there is for everyone else, including those that are unable to safely receive vaccinations due to issues such as pregnancy, old age or infection with HIV. Many who oppose vaccinations do so because they are protective of their personal freedoms — and rightly so — but those freedoms are all the more threatened if, in exercising personal rights, we infringe upon the rights of others. “We should push for better information, require people to know Asst.

more about vaccines and regulate fake news,” Cheng said. It’s true that misinformation is often a deterrent for those considering vaccinations. One of the most common arguments from those opposed to mandatory vaccination is that immunization can cause children to become autistic. According to the CDC, however, allegations like these are based upon a dated report that has not only been disproven, but also contained flawed evidence and intentionally manipulated data. Providing the public with the resources to educate themselves while still allowing them the freedom to come to their own conclusions may be an effective compromise or even just a stepping stone for the near future. In terms of the precedent we’re setting for the nation’s future, an individual’s religion should never be allowed to play into matters of law or health when the consequences will impact society at large. This is not to say that religion should be disregarded entirely in government issues — that freedom is an integral part of American society, and its influence is woven throughout the country’s history. But if we allow any individual freedoms to endanger the country as a whole, we will transform from a symbol of freedom to one of narcissistic anarchy.

ookup culture is a term that gets tossed around by everyone from the bitterest baby boomers to the most progressive Generation Z kids. This culture of normalized casual sex, often MALLORY fueled by STOKKER dating apps, FEA R LESS is prevalent FEMINISM across college campuses. Certain dating apps like Tinder and Bumble are even recruiting student ambassadors on college campuses, and features like TinderU specifically cater to the college experience. Students could easily think that a culture that embraces casual sex, including sex outside relationships and sex with multiple partners, is synonymous with a sexually liberated culture. Yet despite its promise of liberation, hookup culture often fails to live up to that ideal. Often, this so-called liberated culture is just as guilty of policing and objectifying women’s sexuality as the days of worshipping virginity and celibacy until marriage. And our generation is hardly the first to try to cultivate such a culture. “We have this conversation around hookup culture that talks about it as somehow detached from the free love movements of the past 50 years,” said Charisse L’Pree, an assistant professor of communications at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In fact, what has brought about our new conversation surrounding hookup culture may not be so much that the concept of sexual liberation is new, but rather that we have many new forms of connecting with others, mainly because of apps designed specifically to make hooking up easier. L’Pree said hookup apps can actually make hooking up safer and give people more power over their choices. “What I’m talking about right now with hookup apps is the potential,” she said. “The potential is, we can make decisions in a safer mindset, we can have conversations about consent before we get all hot and heavy, we can have conversations about consent before we even start drinking.” That potential is often marred by interpretations of casual sex that cast women as a prize to be won, a conquest, which is hardly liberating. This commodification

of sex and dating, along with the robotic and artificial nature of premeditated messages, is a far cry from the free-love ideas of the sixties. And really, how satisfying can a hookup be when we’re treated like numbers in a game? L’Pree recalled witnessing that numbers-game approach to sex. “He’s sitting there on Tinder, he’s doing something else, and he was on his phone and just swiping right,” L’Pree said. “Like, not even paying attention, just ‘if I accept all of these women, then they’re the limiting factor.’ And it was just really shocking to me.” People and their bodies deserve respect, and disrespect can quickly become discrimination. It’s not uncommon for people to list so-called “preferences” in their dating app bios, setting weight limits and even telling people of a certain race not to interact with their profile. Apps are free to facilitate easy hooking up, but they should encourage users to respect and engage their sexual partners, not disregard them, and they need to take a stand against discrimination. “That’s the potential of apps, to really cater to hookup culture and encourage healthy, safe hooking up,” L’Pree said. “But that’s not what the apps do. The apps, in my opinion, are simplistically designed just to make connections, not to be able to have the in-depth conversation that needs to happen when you want to be physically and emotionally intimate with other people.” Our society’s view of sex will only become liberating when people of all genders and sexualities feel comfortable engaging in sex, no matter how much or how little of it they desire. If we want to truly realize the goals of the sexual liberation movement started so many decades ago, we need to stop telling people to hook up and engage in casual sex or stay committed and monogamous. We need to empower one another to make the choices that are best for us as individuals. Hookup and dating apps can help facilitate the conversations and interactions we need to promote consent, respect and understanding of who you’re hooking up — or not hooking up — with.

Eden, a farm-to-table restaurant, cooks locally grown food over wood fire

hef Rich Strub spent two years preparing his rustic yet modern restaurant, Eden, nestled in Hanover Square. The process involved ripping out the floors — in Syracuse’s first steel building, established in 1898 — and constructing an eight-ton fireplace. Strub also built nearly every piece of furniture. The restaurant officially opened its doors on Aug. 14 and has set out to provide fresh, locally sourced food to customers, Strub said. So far, he’s surmounted his goal by ensuring that

86% of the food is locally sourced, he said. “A lot of our produce comes from Grey Barn Farm in Tully. The farmer there is a real good friend,” Strub said. Eden serves food like violet Beauregard peas from the farm, a type of pea that keeps its color even after it’s cooked, Strub said. It’s also expecting tetra squash and honeynut squash, which Strub said he’s looking forward to putting on the menu. The menu reflects what the restaurant offers and what’s in season, Strub said.

‘Rent’ to kick off Redhouse Arts Center’s season By Victoria Decoster staff writer

Redhouse Arts Center will kick off its 2019-20 season with Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, “Rent.” The theater will perform the show in a round set, where seating will flank each side of the stage, giving an immersive experience, said

Hunter Foster, artistic director. “If you go see a regular show in a proscenium, it’s like looking at a painting,” said Jennifer Cody, choreographer of the musical. “We’re asking audiences to step into the painting.” After working together for 26 years in New York City, Foster and Cody are debuting their first production for Redhouse on the main stage beginning Sept. 19.

“Rent” follows the story of a group of young artists and musicians living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the AIDS epidemic in the 1990s. The musical follows each character through the challenges they face, like eviction, the stigma and lack of AIDS support, and drug addiction. Foster said “Rent” resonates so deeply with him because he was around the same age as these char-

acters when he first moved to New York. Through the performance, Foster said he wants to remind people of the “very serious and terrifying” time for this age group, and that these issues are still relevant today. “It’s important that it doesn’t feel like it ’s a period piece,” Foster said. People think of “Rent” as a “fun see rent page 8

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications received about 4,100 applications for 473 spots in the class of 2023 cohort. Many of those successful applicants were accepted because of their high GPAs and SAT scores. But few applicants were able to mention that they had worked for NBA All-Star player D’Angelo Russell. Nick Zelaya, an 18-year-old freshman from Wallingford, Connecticut, came to Syracuse University with an extensive resume noted with some achievements in graphic design and an aspiration to be like SportsCenter anchors Stan Verrett and Neil Everett, Zelaya said. “If it begins with an ‘E’ and ends in ‘SPN,’ put me there,” Zelaya said. Four years ago, Zelaya started his graphic design career. He now has an Instagram page with more than 4,000 followers that has caught the attention of pro and college-level athletes. Zelaya said he’s worked for Shane Ray, a former Denver Broncos linebacker as well as a player from Ohio State. Now, Zelaya works for SU, as a media editor for the football team. In his position he creates content for the SU football team’s Instagram and Twitter pages. He will be on the sidelines for most SU Orange home games, he said. In his short graphic design career, Zelaya listed D’Angelo Russell as one of the most prominent players he’s worked for. Zelaya said he remembered creating a design of Russell and posting it, in hopes that it would catch the then Ohio State player’s attention. It worked, and Russell direct messaged him on Instagram asking him to create more designs, he said. “I just got some pictures of him because he was one of my favorite athletes and I wanted to mess around with different styles. I thought: what’s a cool thing that if he were to see it he would say, ‘dang.’” Zelaya has continued to master his craft by watching Tyson Beck, an Australian graphic designer who has done work for the NBA. Through his designs, Zelaya said he is able to showcase his creativity and by doing so, it paid off in the long run as SU was his first choice — a school he said he “bled orange” for since he was 9 years old. Like in the world of art and professional sports, part of becoming successful is getting noticed, and Zelaya recognizes this by actively promoting the names, faces and highlight tapes of unknown high school basketball players, as well see

collect food from the farmers market each Saturday or local farmers drop it off at the restaurant. Because of the change in inventory, Strub said the menu changes daily. Every day, the staff prints out new menus and label them with a library stamp, he said. Eden’s building owners, Eve De Rosa and Adam Anderson, who are both professors at Cornell University, agreed that the farm-totable food arrangement is special. “A lot of times in Syracuse, the food just goes down to New York City,” De Rosa said. “It’s really nice to have the farmers come here as their first stop.” To keep with the theme of the restaurant, each dish is cooked in a wood fire. In addition to being a conversation starter, it allows for preparation methods that aren’t usually used in normal kitchens, Strub said. Strub said once the fire burns out, they slow roast veggies in the remaining white ash allowing for the vegetables to become from page 7

rock show,” Cody said, but she wants to make the show authentic, so people would think of it as a moving story rather than simply having great music. “I want people to come into our production because they know the show, they’ve heard the songs and leave completely changed because we’ve been as truthful as we possibly can be to share this story,” said actress Joanie Anderson, who plays Joanne Jefferson. Foster said he hopes to bring back the essence of what “Rent” means. That vision will be told through the performances of both Syracuse and New York City cast members, and SU student Jaelle LaGuerre will be acting in the production. Anderson — who has lived in New York City for over 10 years — said in her performance she pulls from that time. Having a strong foundation of information, Anderson said, will make every aspect of the show specific enough to tell the story.

tender. They also coal roast vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots, he added. In this process, the outside of the vegetables are burnt and then the charred layer is peeled to reveal a flavorful product on the inside. “Our methods are very simple in the kitchen,” he said. “We let the flavors speak for themselves.” In addition to locally sourced vegetables, other items served at Eden include housemade sausage, chicken roasted in a cast iron skillet and goat cheese tortellini. Creating a unique restaurant experience where customers can try foods home to central New York was the goal for the three business partners, who all worked together to make Eden happen. “When we bought the building, it was with a mission to support an artist that would add something to Syracuse,” said Anderson, in an email. “We wanted to invest in the community, and Rich has made that possible, including the amazing staff we have around him.” icbartli@syr.edu | @izzy_bartling

This will be extended in how connected her character is to others and the lifestyle of the city, she said. Anderson said it’s very easy to get caught up in the music and “grandness” of the show, but Foster wanted to get to the foundation of what the show was about — community. Temar Underwood, who will be playing the role of Tom Collins, also said the story is about community. He said the relationship that each actor builds with each other on stage can affect who their character becomes. For Anderson and Underwood, every rehearsal brings another layer of connection to the meaning of the play. Although they have performed in three other productions together, it will be their first time performing in-the-round. “I think there’s something that allows it to be even more truthful,” Anderson said. “There’s a heightened level of execution when you’re doing something in-the-round; you have to be aware of self at all times. There’s no hiding.” vadecost@syr.edu

design as working with well-established ones, he said. Josh Reaves, a high school senior and Mount Saint Mary’s University basketball commit, said Zelaya helped him promote his name and highlights through an interview he coordinated, an act he was grateful for. “He’s a natural. He’s a guy that says, ‘This is my first time trying this, let me know what you think’ and then when you see it, it looks like he’s been doing it for years,” Reaves said. “He created an interview of me about my commitment and it was a hit within five to six days.” Zelaya played football and basketball in high school, but he knew because of his size he would have to find a different avenue in order to get into a school like SU. He admitted that at one time, he was considering playing Division III. While Zelaya said students should focus more on having passion and drive to try new things, and less about test scores and a high

GPA, he still values a college degree. “I feel like it’s always good to have a degree in your back pocket because in the end it’s better to go to college now and get it over with,” Zelaya said. But Zelaya said graphic design is not his main goal. Despite it playing an important role, he sees it as a “means to an end.” While he is currently more behind the camera, going forward, he hopes to create projects where he has a more forefront presence. In the past two weeks he has started his own podcast, The Late Night Peel, where he covers both professional and NCAA Division I athletics. Currently the podcast has one episode. While Zelaya has worked for the recognition he has received, his younger sibling Alex said he still sees him as nothing more than his brother. “I think if he works hard and uses the support he has, he’ll go far,” Alex said. “Kid’s got the dedication and work ethic of some of the great ESPN anchors today. It’s just a matter of how much he wants it.” ccdigiam@syr.edu

Yuliia Yastrub’s versatility helps lead a rejuvenated SU By Roshan Fernandez contributing writer

Yuliia Yastrub had never played libero. But in Syracuse’s most important game in program history — the second round of last year’s NCAA tournament against then-No. 8 Penn State — head coach Leonid Yelin put her there. The move was a testament to her versatility. “She’s getting touches that you would think she should never get,” junior Dana Gardner said. After sitting out her freshman year, Yastrub started just seven games in 2018, but the junior stood out because she could play multiple positions. Yelin said Yastrub can play every position except setter; Gardner thinks she could even do that. With Santita Ebangwese no longer on the team, Yastrub is looking to fill her shoes as one of Syracuse’s (0-2) from page 12

four of the Orange’s games in 2019, due to a hand injury. As Syracuse (3-1) looks to recover from missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007, the preseason All-ACC back will be the designated “one voice” who speaks in huddles and in chaotic moments once she returns. “I’m usually pretty steady,” Webb said. “I’m never really super high or super low.” Webb remembers watching the upperclassmen’s leadership tactics intently as a freshman. One of her biggest goals for the summer practice sessions in 2019 was to help integrate the incoming freshmen into the program, like they had done for her. “She really gives it her all, and that’s something that I’ve been trying to work on,” freshman back Olivia Graham said. “That every play, every little practice scrimmage, every shot, is something that you need to put your full effort into, so when it comes down to game time, it’s easy.” Before this season, Webb was appointed to the “leadership group” along with junior Carolin Hoffmann, junior Claire Cooke, sophomore Laura Graziosi and senior Stephanie Harris. In their first season without three-time All-American back Roos Weers, Webb has described herself as the “calming, driving force” that Syracuse needs. When Webb’s on the field, she’s adept at distributing the ball from the back and maintaining possession, said Harris. “She’s always low, she’s always stuck to the ball,” Harris said. But through the first four games of 2019, an injury to her left hand suffered in the preseason has limited Webb to just being a voice from the sidelines. For the first time in her college career, Webb can’t steady her from page 12

warren winning season in four years when they went 11-7-2 in 2013. They had won just eight of their 38 games in the previous two seasons. Warren is now tasked with focusing on a defense that surrendered an Atlantic Coast Conference worst 37 goals in conference play last season. The starting backline – junior Clarke Brown, junior Shannon Aviza, Bennett and sophomore Jenna Tivnan – returns every starter from 2018. “It’s a different mentality going into this season,” said Bennett, “People are showing a lot more heart and doing what they have to do.” Early in the preseason, Warren introduced an isolation drill where players would play a scrimmage on a shortened field, but were only allowed to take the ball from the player they were assigned to mark. “The onus is on you,” Warren said, “you can’t look left and right and blame somebody else because that’s your player.” Warren encourages players to come to him with questions from previous game film as well. Warren, Adams and the rest of the staff will mark certain plays, but they expect the players to approach them to discuss specific moments in the game. While Warren is working to sure up the Orange on the defensive end, he, like

leaders this season. And in two games, she’s already appeared in every set. “She’s the kind of person who people feel comfortable around,” Yelin said of Yastrub’s leadership heading into her junior season. Though the Orange lost 3-0 to Penn State last December and were eliminated, Gardner said this was the “highlight-game [to watch] if you want to see how versatile she is.” While most of SU’s players are considered to be specialists, Yastrub is unique because her overall skill set allows her to play almost anywhere on the court. In 2017, she came over from Nikolaev, Ukraine and spoke English in bulk for one of the first times in her life. The cultural adjustments also coincided with a higher level of play that was new to Yastrub, who played club volleyball back home. She didn’t play during her freshman year team in tense late-game situations or defend penalty corners. In Syracuse’s home opener against Lafayette, a 3-2 double overtime win, Webb stood for the whole game, right behind Bradley, shouting out instructions and encouragement to the backline. When Hoffmann exited the game with a green card, Webb handed her a water bottle. The Orange read “Wolfpack” — written by former US soccer forward Abby Wambach — over the summer. Bradley said the book focused on the value of leading no matter your position or role. Syracuse can’t afford to have the Exton, Pennsylvania native leading from the bench for much longer. The Orange’s defense allowed two penalty corner goals in a 2-1 loss to Cornell, who won just one Ivy League game in 2018. Syracuse’s defense has relied on Harris, as well as underclassmen SJ Quigley and Graham. After the loss to Cornell, the team stretched silently in a circle, as Webb consoled some of her teammates quietly. In four games without Webb this year, its defense has allowed 1.67 goals per game, a decrease from last year’s 2.19 goals-against average. With Webb back in the fold, that number could drop even more. She injured her hand during preseason, and said she hopes to be back in mid-September. Webb and many within the team point toward inexperience as one of the main reasons why the Orange underachieved last year. Now, with about seven underclassmen in the starting lineup, SU could still use a jolt of experience — that “one voice” — as it heads toward conference play on Sept. 20. “I think she just leads by example, honestly,” Harris said. “She’ll just do it, and people follow her.” dremerma@syr.edu | @DannyEmerman

Adams, wants the Orange to attack more, Brown said. “(Warren) tells us to go up when we have numbers up in the back,” Brown said. “If they have one attacker forward we should have two defenders up (in attack).” The remaining two defenders should then account for the lone attacker, like the situation Bennett found herself in on Thursday night. It allows defenders like Aviza to hover around the 18-yard box, where she buried her first career goal against Siena on Aug. 29. Five games into last season, the Orange had no offensive output from its defense. Their only goal scorers were midfielders Kate Hostage and Georgia Allen, and forward Sydney Brackett. Hostage is out for the rest of the season, and Allen joins the list of now 10 players on the active roster who are currently injured. With ACC play beginning on Sept. 20, the Orange’s defense and depth will be tested. They didn’t win a single conference game in 2018, but Warren wants his team to focus on executing a more disciplined defensive approach — instead of one of the strongest conferences in women’s college soccer. “Your teammates are here to help you,” Warren said, “But as an individual you need to do your job yourself. And if everybody does that and brings it together, then that’s success.”

because of NCAA regulations, Yelin said, but last year she took on an increasing role for the team with a two-time first team All-ACC player in Ebangwese leading the way. “[With Ebangwese gone], everyone has to step up and we’re going to have better results,” Yastrub said. When’s she on the court, Yastrub is energetic and emotional, more than most of her teammates. As a kid, she used to play the violin but stopped because it didn’t fully allow her to express her enthusiasm. Volleyball became her outlet. That eagerness is something that both Yelin and Gardner have grown to appreciate. Gardner said she “lights up every room she walks into.” “She gets along with everyone,” Yelin said. “She has a really outgoing personality

in a good way.” When Yastrub finally got her chance in 2018, the then-sophomore played in all but two of Syracuse’s games, finishing fifth on the team in kills (78). The Orange were in the midst of their best season in program history, rewarded SU with its first NCAA tournament berth. After a win against Yale, Syracuse faced its region’s host, the Nittany Lions. To combat PSU’s high-octane offense, Yelin made a move. Yastrub finished with three assists and six digs in the three-set loss in her first action as a libero. Now in her third season at SU, she’ll rely on versatility as she takes on a larger role — wherever on the court that may be. “You have to try everything in life,” Yastrub said.

from page 12

Against Binghamton, McIntyre said the defense gave Bearcats’ goal scorer Parker McKnight too much space outside the box to curl in the visitor’s only goal against Yale. It was Orr’s errant pass from the back that set up the Bulldogs’ only goal. Sunday night, poor marking on two crosses overshadowed a strong defensive performance in a 2-2 tie to New Hampshire. Being a new player that starts and plays significant minutes has been more a fun challenge than nerve-wracking, Singelmann said. The 19-year old credited McIntyre and the older SU players for easing their new players into the team, a process that began in the preseason more than two weeks before the Orange’s season opener on Aug. 30. “Guys who have been here a few years like John-Austin, Massimo (Ferrin) and Sondre have helped us mesh and get together,” Higgins said. “They’ve made sure we all play as a unit, not just the backline.”

defense SU career. Higgins, who transferred from Oakland University, looks to a commonality at center back all season. The Ajax, Canada native has started all four games so far and displayed his smart decision-making and athleticism on many occasions. Sunday night, Higgins met his match in New Hampshire’s Donnett Sackie, a 6-foot-3 senior forward. Higgins, at 6-foot-2, constantly found himself in foot races and aerial battles with Sackie. On most long throw-ins, free kicks and corner kicks, Higgins and Sackie battled each other for position, with the Orange defender typically winning. Norheim, not Higgins, was marking Sackie when he headed in UNH’s equalizer with five minutes left in regulation. Since Syracuse conceded three goals to No. 13 Georgetown, Higgins believes the defense has already improved.

To recover from 2018’s shortcomings, Syracuse needs Claire Webb’s leadership By Danny Emerman asst. sports editor

yracuse’s summer only lasted two months, partly because Claire Webb wanted the team to get a “jumpstart” on the season. Some players, like Webb, usually return to SU around July, but never as early as in 2019. And never with this many teammates. Returning early isn’t required or pressured, Webb said, but last season’s

shortcomings — like a 1-5 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference — inspired urgency. Webb and other seniors led captains’ practices, team building exercises, and “culture meetings” in early July, more than a month before their official preseason began. As a freshman, Webb went through those pre-preseason drills along with about half the team. As a senior, she led nearly the whole roster. “It wasn’t really even a question

for most people whether or not they wanted to come back for the summer,” Webb said. In her first three seasons at SU, Webb appeared in every game, even playing with a facemask after suffering a broken nose in 2016. Her reliability and calming presence in the back led head coach Ange Bradley to once call her “Steady Eddie” and a “workhorse.” But now, Webb has missed all see webb page 10

New assistant brings fresh defensive ideas to SU By Tim Nolan staff writer

Taylor Bennett said last Tuesday that Syracuse wasn’t moving well enough in its 2-0 loss to Dartmouth and a change needed to be made. Two days later, with an attacker running at her, the senior flipped her hips and began to backpedal instead of stepping in to challenge for the ball. She had help to her left, but that didn’t matter. She shadowed Auburn forward Jessie Gerow’s

every dribble – not giving Gerow the edge. Gerow neared the penalty area and forced a shot around Bennett, which goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx gathered calmly. While Bennett’s efforts were in vain in a 2-0 loss to the Tigers last Thursday night, her play was another example of Syracuse (2-3) committing to the coaching philosophies of its new staff. For defenders, those directions come from first-year assistant coach Harold Warren. “I think they bought into the process, actually,” Warren said.

“We stress accountability, we want you to get the job done yourself.” Warren’s coaching technique is exactly that: a process. He likens every aspect of preparation to studying; the games to exams. Success on exams depends on how much studying goes into them, and Warren wants his players to approach soccer the same way. Syracuse defenders have tried to change their tactics in the final third from last year. Instead of being overly aggressive or giving away a costly foul

with their backs to the net in 2018, Warren wants his defenders to play a “cat and mouse game” with attackers. “If you have a wide receiver that doesn’t like to get checked off the line, you check them,” Warren said, “But if they’re super quick you back off a little.” Like first-year head coach Nicky Adams, Warren is no stranger to building up a program. After taking over the UAB head coaching job in 2011, he coached the Blazers to their first see warren page 10

For the past two seasons, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre’s selections for his backline haven’t required much thought. Kamal Miller played in and started 53 games at center back from 2016-18. Sondre Norheim started all but two games in the past two seasons. John-Austin Ricks occupied the right side of the backline for much of his first three years, starting 30 games and appearing in 51. A 2-1 overtime loss at Boston College in 2017 was the only game in the past two seasons when at least two of Miller, Norheim, and Ricks weren’t in the starting lineup. With Miller out of eligibility, Norheim returning from an injury and Ricks taking up a role in the midfield, McIntyre has been forced to piece together an entirely new backline to start the 2019 season. The ninth-year head coach opted for two senior transfers — Nyal Higgins and Matt Orr — and freshman Noah Singelmann to round out the back three. “We have three new guys back there,” McIntyre said. “They’ve reacted well to [not having in-game experience together]. So far, I’ve seen some really good individual defensive moments from them.” Last season, Syracuse’s defense conceded 26 goals in 18 games (1.44 per game), the third-worst mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This year’s reconstructed defense has allowed seven goals in four games (1.75 per game) so far, but its solid performances have McIntyre and the Orange (1-1-2) optimistic. That confidence starts with Singelmann, the sole freshman starter in the backline. The Rheinstetten, Germany native is a product of the Karlsruher SC academy, a team in the German second division, where he captained his U-17 and U-19 teams. In his first five games as an SU player, Singelmann has impressed McIntyre with his composure on the ball and involvement in possession and build-up play. In his first start against Binghamton, Singelmann frequently linked with Ricks and junior Simon Triantafillou on attacking moves down the right sideline. The center back even registered the Orange’s second shot of the game after dribbling into the attacking third. “I don’t think [it was difficult],” Singelmann said about his first start alongside Orr and Higgins against Binghamton on Sept. 2. “We all love football, we all know how the game works. I think we were all comfortable.” Orr, a senior transfer from the University of San Francisco, lost his starting position to the returning Norheim against No. 22 New Hampshire on Sunday but started each of the first three games of his see defense page 10
