Former student pleads not guilty following narcotics arrest

By Alfred Ng and Dylan Segelbaum The Daily Orange

A former Syracuse University student living in the Alpha Chi Rho house was arrested Thursday on several felony and misdemeanor charges after detectives found more than 4 ounces of cocaine, 15 grams of

marijuana and $5,500 in cash in his bedroom at the house.

Syracuse Police Department detectives executed a search warrant at AXP and later arrested Patrick Jackson, 23, of 131 College Place. The warrant came from a narcotics investigation, police said.

He was arrested on the charges

of: criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second and third degrees — both felonies; criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, and two counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree — all misdemeanors; and unlawful possession of marijuana

— a violation.

Police said 4.23 ounces of cocaine, 15.6 grams of marijuana and $5,560 in cash were found and seized in Jackson’s bedroom.

The felony complaint against Jackson alleges that the amount of cocaine, $5,560 in cash, two digital scales, clear ziplock bags and three

cellphones recovered “clearly indicate the defendant was involved in the distribution of illegal narcotics in and around the Syracuse University campus.”

The amount of cocaine recovered is the equivalent of more than 1,000 individual doses, according to the see jackson page 8

Delta Phi Epsilon to return to SU campus

By Meredith Newman News Editor

The sorority Delta Phi Epsilon will form a colony at Syracuse University this fall and will start recruiting Oct. 7.

The sorority will lease the former home of Alpha Chi Omega, which is located at 705 Walnut Ave., said Maggie Thompson, DPhiE’s coordinator of chapter services.

Alpha Chi Omega left the university in January 2011.

This week, DPhiE will host events from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., which will include different types of informational ses-

sions about the organization. More events will start at 8 p.m. at the new house, said Thompson, who is also the head of colony recruitment.

The sorority will begin as a colony rather than an official chapter. A colony doesn’t have the same privileges, such as alumni support and complete independence from the national organization.

A chapter of DPhiE was founded on SU’s campus in 1921, but left in the late 1980s, Thompson said. The colony will become the 12th Panhellenic sorority chapter on campus.

DPhiE officials hope to have about 152 students become part of the organization and will recruit about 100 members before official recruitment begins this spring, Thompson said.

The organization is looking for “empowering women who look to be the best versions of themselves,” Thompson said. She added that the sorority hopes to find female students who are also philanthropic and have strong leadership skills. mhnewman@syr.edu @mernewman93

Fund to beautify city parks

By Annie Palmer Asst. News Editor

Syracuse University and the Central New York Community Foundation are collaborating to create a Syracuse Beautification Fund, which will help protect and maintain public parks in the Connective Corridor district.

The Beautification Fund, which was launched Thursday, is being established to “improve the front yards” of areas along the Connective Corridor, said Linda Dickerson Hartsock, who oversees the Connective Corridor as director of SU’s Office of Community Engagement and Economic Development.

“The project is something we’ve been talking to the community foundation about for a while,” Hartsock said. “We’ve found that it’s really difficult for Syracuse and other cities upstate to maintain public infrastructure such as parks.”

The Connective Corridor, introduced by Chancellor Nancy Cantor in 2005, aims to connect the university and downtown area with a $42.5 million, three-phase transportation and streetscape improvement project.

Phase one finished last fall, while phases two and three are slated for completion by 2015.

Though the foundation is working with business owners, the city still has issues about who will take care of public space, Hartsock said.

She added the fund was created to potentially serve as a model for other neighborhoods to create beautification funds in the future.

“You want to create a culture of stewardship where we take care of our city,” Hartsock said. “I think the fund, in conjunction with the façade improvement program, will help because property owners are making these improvements in their own front yards.”

Grant recipients in the second round of the Connective Corridor’s improvement program were also announced Thursday. Of the 30 businesses that applied for the second round, only 16 were grant recipients, Hartsock said, including Café Kubal, Everson Museum of Art and the Onondaga Tower.

Student groups gather to discuss perspectives on war

By Alfred Ng Asst. News Editor

Several Syracuse University student groups came together as part of a youth anti-war forum on Sunday to discuss world conflicts and their causes.

The Syracuse Peace Council, the Interfaith Alliance and the ANSWER Coalition all took part in the first meeting of a new discussion forum, titled Youth Resisting Imperialism and Oppression Together.

“We wanted to create a space for young people to discuss these issues of war and get to know about one another a little bit, about how we all get to caring so much about war,” said Ursula Rozum, an organizer from the Syracuse Peace Council.

The discussion during Youth RIOT was titled “War & Its Intersections,” and student representatives talked about factors that were related to war, including religion, economic situations, imperialism

and nationalism.

Five representatives from the Interfaith Alliance started off the forum, defining religion’s role in warfare.

“It’s a very complex issue. Of course religion has caused wars, but it gets a lot more complex than that,” said Dave Wolken, a member of the Interfaith Alliance panel that was speaking at the forum.

He said although religion causes conflicts between countries, it also

contributes a great deal to society.

Wolken used the crusades during the Middle Ages as an example of a war caused by religion, but then cited civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a man of religion who had made the world a better place.

Wolken, a Syracuse University graduate education student, talked about the definition of religion being a complicated issue, and explained the different see peace council page 8

SU Athletics auctions redesigned helmet; sells for more than $2,000

By Linda Gorman Staff Writer

The SU Athletics department auctioned off a redesigned Syracuse football helmet Thursday for more than $2,000.

The auction concluded on Thursday after four days, with a winning bid of $2,020. The new helmets were designed specifically for the 2013 season and were debuted by the SU players during their 700th win against Tulane on Sept. 21.

“We hope to be able to provide things for fans that they won’t be able to get anywhere else.”

Joe Giansante

Associate Athletic Director

The top bid on the helmet was more than twice that of any other item listed on the Syracuse Athletics Online Auctions page. The website auctions off balls, jerseys and posters — some of which are autographed by Jim Boeheim and Scott Shafer.

Associate Athletic Director Joe Giansante could not confirm whether the helmet being auctioned off had been worn during the game. The profit from the auction will go to support the athletic department, he said.

Auctions are an important way for the athletic department to connect with its audience and give fans access to one-of-a kind memorabilia, Giansante said.

“We hope to be able to provide things for fans that they won’t be able to get anywhere else,” Giansante said.

He said Syracuse athletics would like to grow their online auction site by expanding their offerings. He also see helmets page 8

Members of public irrationally lash out at celebrities for drug use

ustin Bieber and Miley Cyrus were dubbed as black sheep, misguided and outlandish the moment marijuana touched

their lungs.

When public figures use drugs, there is almost always huge controversy. It doesnít matter if use is casual, or if it results in tragedy.

Celebs no longer need a publicist to construct a bad boy or girl image.

Widespread myths about drugs and a lack of information foster negative speculation about celebrities. Our judgmental society makes any drug related controversy go absolutely viral.

Last week, in an interview with Life and Style, Melissa Joan Hart discussed her upcoming memoir, ìMelissa Explains It All.î Despite my amusement at its incredibly clever title, many people are upset with the piece. In it, she explicitly highlights her drug experimentation in the 1990s.

Suddenly, everyoneís childhood is ruined because Sabrina the Teenage Witch did ecstasy a few times.

Really? The phrase, ìruined childhoodî, is thrown around too much. Itís a bit unsympa-

CASSIE-LEE GRIMALDI

living vicariously through you thetic to people who actually have had terrible experiences as children.

So why all of the hubbub? Hartís memoir also says that she didnít particularly like the drugs and wasnít an addict.

We care now more than we did in the 1990s because without social media and Perez Hilton, we didnít have a platform to blow things completely out of proportion. Hart wasnít trying to hide her drug use; she just didnít have to because she used drugs socially and casually.

Celebrities who seek rehabilitation for their drug use are subject to the same criticism by the public, despite their efforts to get better.

It was recently revealed that Zac Efron went through rehab for cocaine addiction and MDMA, or ëmolly.í Many were upset at his

decision to hide this from the public for so long.

Going into rehab, which is supposed to be a positive, ongoing process, is so common today that itís become comedic.

Lindsay Lohanís ups and downs are selfwritten jokes for late night hosts.

This is probably why Zac Efron hid his time in rehab, just like Hart didnít speak about her drug use until now. His acting career is becoming notably diverse and heís appeared in award winning films like ìThe Paper Boy.î He wants to be taken seriously. His seriousness as an actor is probably why he went into rehab in the first place.

But the public assumes that celebrities who use drugs are not serious about their work.

They blow it totally out of proportion.

Drug related celebrity deaths also cause mass anxiety about casual drug use.

Cory Montiethís death this summer was tragic and unexpected. It resulted in a huge social media response and unfortunately lots of inaccurate articles. A fake photo of someone who looked like Lea Michele grieving at Montiethís casket went completely viral.

Because of the socially pejorative nature

of Montiethís death, misinformation spread like wildfire.

Conservative individuals and traditional media use extreme examples like Cory Montieth to slap the wrists of celebrities to go on the straight and narrow. They cause alarm and make people think that all celebrities are susceptible to the same fate.

However, they fail to look at the whole picture surrounding celebrity drug use. They automatically associate even the mildest drug use with a troubled past or dark secret, rather than someone who doesnít suffer from addiction and just wants to smoke at her birthday partyóIím here for you, Miley.

Celebrity gossip is an incredible tool for establishing public opinion about an issue. We know so little about drugs and the effects they have on individuals that itís nearly impossible to appropriately react when we hear about our favorite celebrity using them. Despite this, society irrationally and unnecessarily lashes out at celebrities for their bad behavior.

Students should become involved in effort to ban fracking, contact Gov. Cuomo In order to keep drinking water frack-free, students need to stand up.

Our Governor, Andrew Cuomo, has been “waiting for the science” to tell him whether or not to allow hydraulic fracturing, or

hydrofracking, into our methane-rich state.

All the while, countless cases of water contamination and methane migration have been springing up across the country.

The list of those harmed by fracking is up

LETTER TO THE EDITOR to more than 1,500. What’s more, the oil and gas industry has been ‘caught in bed’ with our New York politicians more than just once. Governor Cuomo is waiting for the Department of Health to release a report before he makes a decision to ban fracking or not.

However, this regulatory group has been caught exchanging emails with the gas industry about making their regulations less strict. More instances of bias come from our federal Environmental Protection Agency, since they have dropped three different cases across the country where they were studying water contamination due to fracking.

This is unacceptable.

Since fracking became a “buzzword” in Albany, Exxon Mobil became the number two lobbying organization in N.Y. It is hard to not correlate their large coiffeurs with governmental inactivity.

If New Yorkers want to continue to profit

from our extensive wine and agricultural industry, vacation in the Finger Lakes and Great Lakes regions and simply drink some of the cleanest water in the country, then we have to ban together and force Cuomo to listen to us.

This is not hard. The New York Public Interest Research Group, the organization I have been working with for the past two years, has already done a great deal in delaying Cuomo’s decision by organizing and putting extreme pressure on him to make the right choice. We cannot rest.

One simple thing students can do is take forty-five seconds to call Cuomo’s office, 1-800-566-5020, and state their name, address and that they will not accept fracking into New York State.

This is a small effort, but compounded day after day it forces our politicians to listen to us. This is our state and our water, and we will not give up until fracking is banned.

Government secrecy promotes need for truth-seeking journalists

A

merican freedoms are under attack.

It’s no secret, but if the government had its way, it would be.

Luckily for us, there are hard working journalists digging for the truth and government officials coming forward to make the truth known.

A flurry of scandals in the past year and an unprecedented number of leak investigations exposed how the Obama Administration spied on and punished journalists and whistleblowers for revealing these truths.

These scandals include the Department of Justice secretly obtaining the phone records of several Associated Press reporters and editors, as well as seizing the emails of a Fox News reporter and investigating him as a criminal.

As for leaked investigations, according to The New York Times, the Obama administration has had eight – compared to three in all previous administrations combined.

The administration looks to appease critics with the Free Flow of Information Act, which will supposedly shield these truth-seeking journalists from its wrath, just recently passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Also known as the Media Shield Bill, this legislation is supposed to protect journalists from having to reveal their sources and testify against them.

In reality, the bill does little more than what the Obama administration intended it to: pacify critics.

The government can still pursue its aggressive measures against journalists if it says that such measures will help national security or prevent against an act of terrorism.

You can bet that this card will be used frequently; the government jumps at every opportunity it gets to use national security or terrorism as excuses to take overly aggressive and unconstitutional action.

Another problem, perhaps the biggest, lies in how the bill defines who will be afforded its protection.

The bill leaves out any “person or entity whose principal function ... is to publish primary source documents that have been disclosed to such person or entity without authorization.”

This is an intentional shot at

WikiLeaks, the organization that brought us the revelations of Bradley Manning and made Americans aware of the many illegal and immoral things our government has been up to.

With the amount of shady things going on today, you can bet that Manning and Edward Snowden won’t be the last whistleblowers to come forward, and the government certainly can’t afford to be protecting those who intend to tell the American people the truth.

That being said, only the mainstream media stands to gain anything from the Shield Bill.

But can we really trust mainstream media outlets to hold the Obama administration accountable?

Politico published a story this month, titled “The media’s revolving White House door,” describing how a growing number of high-ranking Obama administration officials are leaving for major positions with mainstream media outlets, and vice-versa.

For example, Doug Frantz, a veteran journalist of The Washington Post and The New York Times, was named Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Public Affairs this month. The Boston Globe’s online politics editor became a senior advisor in the State Department earlier this year. Jay Carney, the White House Press Secretary, was previously Time magazine’s Washington Bureau chief.

The list goes on and on.

The last thing we need today is something that will further protect public relations for a highly secretive and intrusive government. We need to protect those who print what the government doesn’t want, and what we desperately need that’s journalism.

SCRIBBLE

Officials should not enforce tobacco ban Tobacco should not be banned on the Syracuse University campus.

The Campus Sustainability Committee created a task force to consider making SU tobacco-free after a recent student survey revealed that many oppose smoking.

However, a majority of The Daily Orange Editorial Board said a ban would not only be difficult for the university to monitor and enforce, but it would also hinder the freedom of students who do use tobacco products.

The effects of tobacco use should not be ignored.

University officials should continue to educate students on its health risks. However, a ban on tobacco will not be an effective policy at SU due its ambitious goal.

Students could find loopholes within the new policy to

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board avoid the restrictions imposed by the ban.

To effectively implement this ban, university officials would have to tightly monitor all areas of campus. However, the ability of campus resources and administration to handle a goal of this magnitude is questionable.

Because of this, usage would likely continue, regardless of a policy.

Another factor in the decision to ban tobacco is the interaction between tobacco users and non-users and the potential for second-hand smoke. Still, this does not warrant a campuswide ban.

While the smell of cigarette smoke is a nuisance to many on campus, it is a minor inconvenience compared to prohibiting the use of tobacco products for those who rely on them.

Smoking is a lifestyle the university should not upend purely because of surveyed opposition.

University officials should gather perspectives from student and faculty smokers before the proposal for the ban is pushed forward. These individuals would be most affected by the change, and their input should be more heavily taken into consideration.

Tobacco use is a freedom and university officials should treat it as such. College students are of the age to determine how they use the substance.

The campus doesn’t need a policy to mandate such habits.

Contributing Writer

he State University College of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, along with five other universities, received a joint grant of $2 million that will help scientists understand and treat diseases such as cancer, diabetes and AIDS. The money, from the National Institute of Health, will pay for a new nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, which helps researchers examine molecules, said Gregory Boyer, chairman of the chemistry department at SUNY-ESF. David Kiemle, the instructional support specialist at ESF, demonstrated the device after a news conference on Thursday with a spectrometer ESF already owned.

The spectrometer, which was taller than Kiemle, resembled a white cylindrical container. Kiemle placed a sample on the top of the instrument. The automated sample changer then lowered the sample into the machine using a stream of air.

The spectrometer collects information about

SUNY-ESF, 5 other universities receive joint $2 million grant to improve biomedical research

the sample, displaying the data on a computer and generating a 3-D image of its molecules.

Kiemle chose to do the demonstration at the news conference because it would give a sense of what the spectrometer does, said Bruce Bongarten, ESF’s provost.

Grant proposals are very competitive, Kiemle said, and a demonstration helps show off the facilities and the institutions’ ability to use and maintain the machine, he said.

“We want to show that we have the best facilities and show the prospective students and faculty what they might be able to work on in the future,” said Gregory Boyer, chairman of the chemistry department at ESF. The new instrument will be more sensitive and easier to use, said Claire Dunn, the director of communications at ESF. The spectrometer will be replacing the one the school currently owns.

Other recipients of the grant include Syracuse University, Cornell University, the University of Rochester, SUNY Upstate Medical University and the University at Buffalo, Bongarten said.

SUNY-ESF chemistry department chair

These six universities received this grant, “not for asking nicely,” but for meeting certain criteria, said Stephan Wilkens, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Upstate Medical. Wilkens was one of the team members who received the grant.

The recipients needed to have an “outstanding” team of researchers and administrative support from their schools and a

person who was able to maintain and run the instrument, Wilkens said. All six schools are sharing the spectrometer, he said, but the instrument is being housed at ESF. Neil Murphy, president of SUNY-ESF, and David Smith, president of Upstate Medical, provided some of this administrative support, Wilkens said.

“This grant has been a long time coming,” said Bongarten, ESF’s provost. These schools, he said, have been working on purchasing this instrument for 12 years. Bongarten added that the spectrometer will provide many benefits to the universities, as well as industries in the area, which would also have access to the instrument.

This grant is not only about the scientific advances, but also the partnership between the universities, said Rosemary Rochford, chairwoman of microbiology and immunology at Upstate Medical.

“It illustrates the role of collaborative processes and is an indicator of the importance of these universities,” Rochford said. lwkirsch@syr.edu

Patrick Jackson’s mother, Victoria Jackson, drove up five hours from Connecticut and was at his arraignment.

After the judge did not grant bail, Victoria Jackson rushed to the front of the courtroom. In tears, she begged the judge to grant bail.

“Can you please give him bail? I don’t know what happened, this is such a surprise, please, he’s a good kid,” she said.

In an interview after the arraignment, Victoria Jackson said she had mixed emotions of anger, disbelief and fear.

She said she drove five hours from Connecticut and saw her son at 3 a.m. on Friday.

Victoria Jackson said he told her, “I can’t believe it; I can’t believe how dumb I was.”

Victoria Jackson said her son is no longer a student, but was staying at the fraternity house for a girlfriend. She said the $5,560 that was seized at AXP was not drug money. This was money she had given him after a wakeboarding accident.

She said, “never in her wildest dreams did I think this would happen,” adding she’s afraid one decision her son made will affect the rest of his life.

said that future auctions may give fans a chance to bid on opportunities like going on a road trip with the team, or being on the field before a game.

The new helmets feature the color orange less prominently than the old design, which attracted controversy online when pictures of the helmets first surfaced on the web.

The new design features a navy blue-toorange gradient with the classic Syracuse ‘S’ on the sides.

Giansante said the helmet redesign is intended to appeal to a younger audience.

“It’s important for college athletic programs to be of interest to young people and create an

environment of innovation and forward thinking,” he said.

In a press conference after last Saturday’s win over Tulane, head coach Scott Shafer said the process of developing new uniforms and helmets in collaboration with Nike was an exciting opportunity for student athletes.

“They’re excited about being a team that’s supported by Nike and getting to be creative with the design and use the best products in the world,” Shafer said.

Giansante said the players were happy with the new helmets, which he said he believes is ultimately the most important thing.

“The student athletes absolutely love them,” he said. “If they’re excited about it, we’re excited about it.” lggorman@syr.edu

Gannon said the store is still in the process of obtaining artwork for a storefront sign, so the outdoor seating has already helped attract customers to the space.

“A lot of people have had trouble finding us, but now we just tell people to look for the red tables,” Gannon said. “It really pulls people off the street now that they know we’re a restaurant.”

The Façade Improvement Project has the potential to help build a neighborhood feel for new residents that move downtown, Gannon said. When residents see more people on the streets, it fosters a “sense of community,” he said. Gannon added that more improvements need to be made outside of Armory Square, so that the entire city can grow.

“Adding tables is a small thing that can have a bigger impact,” he said. “To have people sit outside, it promotes the chance that people slow

down and stop and enjoy their lunch or whenever they happen to come downtown.”

Gannon said as more restaurants and shops are built in the neighborhood, he hopes that people stay downtown for the entire day rather than coming downtown just for dinner or to shop at a specific store.

So far, the improvements have been successful in making others want to improve their businesses on their own, Hartsock said. She said she hopes the grant will hopefully spur a sense of competition in the city.

“Businesses compete, and so should cities.

They should compete for young people to live there, attract private investors, and, in Syracuse’s case, to look attractive for professors coming to the university,” she said. “We want to become not just an attractive community but also a competitive community.”

the group and a fifth-year architecture student, provided his definition of imperialism, describing it as “the stage in global power sparked by a concentration of finance capital in rich capitalist countries.” He provided the Vietnam War as an act of imperialism, with the U.S. attempting to re-establish dominance over a colonial country.

He said he agreed religion was a factor in causing wars, but only in a few conflicts, while issues of economics and social groups have affected all conflicts.

Derek Ford, a graduate student majoring in education and an organizer from the ANSWER Coalition, discussed how nationalism and patriotism promoted imperialism, even among anti-war protesters.

He said that while protesters take positions

to change the reasons the U.S. military takes action, the most effective anti-war effort is to take a neutral stance.

“The most important thing that we can do is have nothing to do with a positive demand for our government to intervene,” he said. “But we have to actually restrain our own government.”

He ended the discussion with three proposals for anti-war success: prevent military intervention, respect another country’s sovereignty and better educate against war propaganda.

The three groups said they ended up learning a lot from the other groups’ perspectives.

“I don’t know that much about politics, so just to hear that side of it. It can really only help and augment my own approach to this,” said Wolken, of the Interfaith Alliance.

Ribbons of courage Multicultural organization uses Quad to raise awareness, share stories about ovarian cancer

en years ago, with no warning, Yvline Tanis’ mother began writhing in pain. She and her sister were playing quietly on their mother’s bed when she started screaming for anything to dull the pain. The two sprinted to the nearest drug store and returned with Tylenol in hand. But it didn’t help.

That night, doctors diagnosed Yvline Tanis’ mother, Yves Nodex Tanis, with ovarian cancer. She passed away seven years later on Sept. 19, 2010 at the age of 46.

“After her first operation, the doctors only gave her three months to live,” Yvline Tanis said. “But we prayed, and my mother was such a strong woman and had such a strong heart that she lived in and out of remission for several more years. I know people have different beliefs, but I think it shows that the doctors don’t always have the last say.”

Drawing motivation from her experience with her mother, Yvline Tanis, a junior mechanical engineering student and the Haitian American Student Association’s vice president, brought the national Turn The Towns Teal campaign to Syracuse University in honor of September being National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The campaign, which ends Monday, involved hanging tealcolored ribbons around the Quad to raise money and to increase awareness about this form of cancer, often called

the “silent killer” for its difficulty to diagnose, said Flose Boursiquot, the association’s president.

Monday night, the group is hosting a closing ceremony called “OVARcome the Silence,” during which various speakers will share their stories about ovarian cancer.

“You should be able to trust your doctor,” said Boursiquot, a senior sociology and public relations student. “But they don’t always catch everything. That’s why we did this.

We need to make people aware of their bodies.”

Struggling to find a good cause to tackle, the association didn’t come up with the idea until Yvline Tanis went to this year’s New York State Fair and saw a booth dedicated to ovarian cancer. She said she was overcome with emotion and committed herself right then to raise awareness and do something in memory of her mother. But by that time, almost a week of the awareness month had passed.

The group struggled to get the campaign running and questioned whether it was worth picking up so late into the month, said Quameiha Raymond-Ducheine, the group’s public relations director. Yvline Tanis was unwilling to quit. But her friends and group members didn’t know why.

At the time, none of them knew about her mother.

“We were up really late one night, sitting around the table in the library planning when she finally told us,” said Raymond-Ducheine, an undecided sophomore in the Whitman School of Management. “From that moment it became a priority to accomplish.”

The Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival opened to a full house this weekend with a critically acclaimed, femaleempowerment docudrama.

The festival, which featured films with the common thread of social justice, was free, open to the public and showcased five films over the course of three days, beginning Sept. 26. The event was a part of Syracuse Symposium 2013: Listening, and was put on by the SU Humanities Center and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Tula Goenka, an associate television, radio and film professor and a co-organizer of the festival, said she wanted to share stories from other parts of the world and spark dialogue on issues which otherwise remain untouched.

One film shown at the festival was “Rafea: Solar Mama,” directed by Mona Eldaief and Jehane Noujaim. It is an inspirational story of an uneducated Bedouin woman from Jordan who leaves her village, one of the poorest neighborhoods on the Iraqi border. The woman arrives in rural Rajasthan, India to pursue her ambition of becoming a solar engineer at the Village Barefoot College, a voluntary organization that works to educate rural, uneducated people in the region.

Her aspirations are almost shattered when her husband threatens to take her daughters away and demands she return home. She leaves mid-training, but returns a few days later to complete her work. Her keenness to make something of herself and provide for her four daughters drives her back. Barefoot College becomes a utopia where she finds people who share her sorrows and joys without a common language to communicate.

Roger Hallas, an associate professor of English, and Goenka dedicated this year’s festival to Liberian journalist Rodney Sieh and Canadian filmmaker John Greyson. Both exemplify defendants of human rights and social justice.

Sieh has long been associated with Newhouse and wrote for The Post-Standard in 2002 and 2003.

He was placed behind bars on Aug. 23, 2013 on charges of libel and his newspaper, FrontPage

Naan and beyond keegan barber | staff photographer (FROM LEFT) Paneer cheese with green beans in a curry cream sauce and garlic naan bread seasoned with parsley and brushed with oil are two of the many quickly prepared dishes available at the Indian Tandoor Restaurant. The menu also features dishes like chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi, a sauceless cauliflower and potato dish.

Indian restaurant serves generous helpings of traditional dishes

I

By Nicole Fisher STAFF WRITER

have always found that the best foods are in places you do not expect. And Indian Tandoor Restaurant proved that theory.

Located at 232 Harrison St., a short walk or bus ride from campus, the space was not necessarily the nicest. That said, having opened a couple of months ago, the walls were newly painted in red with green trim, along with a black and white checkered tile f loor. To add to the décor and cultural feel, Bollywood posters hung on the walls. But most noticeable was the whiteboard, which teaches customers a daily Hindi word as they enter the restaurant. Friday’s word was “dil mann”, or heart.

What the store lacked in atmosphere, though, it made up for with its food. Freshly made Indian cuisine was ready to serve into lunch boxes — small Styrofoam boxes — filled with rice. After sprinkling some seasoning on top, the dish was ready to eat in the store or on the go. We ordered a variety of dishes at the counter.

To start, we tasted the chicken tikka masala. The chicken in the dish was a little firm from being roasted in a tandoor oven, but was still f lavorful. The strongly spiced tomato and coriander-based sauce featured onions and other vegetables. If you are looking for a jumping off point into Indian dining or like to stay with classic f lavors, this dish is the right one for you.

Next we tried the lamb shish kabob. Balls of lamb meat were seasoned and served with sautéed bell peppers and onions over rice.

The lamb tasted a little over-powering, mak-

ing it hard to eat full portions all at once.

But the vegetables were tender and had a sweetened f lavor to them.

We also decided to order some garlic naan — a staple to any Indian meal. The bread was served in a hefty portion, with plenty to share. Crispy yet doughy, the naan was seasoned with garlic and parsley and lightly brushed with oil. The best part: it was served warm, fresh out of the oven.

Seemingly aware of that we were reviewing the food, the owner served us with special care. But his attitude was genuine. He was informative and humorous throughout our meal, cracking jokes about our large eyes but small appetites. Observing him with other customers, he also made sure their needs were met.

Also, at the beginning of the meal, he brought us a taste of aloo gobi as a kind gesture. Aloo gobi is a dry Indian dish served with Indian-spiced potatoes and caulif lower.

Flavored with turmeric, the dish had a yellow color and included other f lavors like garlic, onions, cumin and coriander. The dish’s f lavor tasted similar to curry, since turmeric is a major component in curry spice. It made a nice vegetable side but did not stand out in general compared to the rest of the meal.

Hands down, the paneer cheese — an un-aged non-melting curd cheese with green beans in a curry cream sauce — was the best dish. The cheese was so tender. The sauce tasted creamy and buttery and had a silky texture. I was beside myself when the owner of the restaurant offered to put more gravy on top of my leftover rice.

To complement the meal, I tried an Indian Coca-Cola product called Thums Up. The owner described the f lavor saying, “It’s like Coke, but at the same time completely not.”

And boy was he right. The packaging and f lavor were similar to the American drink, but the carbonation seemed a little f latter and the drink had a hint of ginger.

Overall, the meal was tasty and well priced. Walking out with leftovers to last for days, we ate a two-person meal for $33. If you ever need a quick fix for food but desire something out of the ordinary, give Indian Tandoor Restaurant a try. nlfisher@syr.edu

Prepare outerwear wardrobe for arrival of fall season

T

he leaves are beginning to change, creating an arboreal palette of crimson and ochre, the days are getting shorter and if you are like me, you have already drank your body weight in pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks in an attempt to embrace the change of season. Fall is finally here.

Fall is indeed the season of change, and as such, necessitates a change in your wardrobe. It is time to put aside the tanks, shorts and f lip-f lops and bring out the sweaters, jeans and boots. Granted, I would not lock your lighter summer clothes away given the unpredictability of Syracuse weather, but perhaps it is finally safe to move them to the back of your closet.

But one fall wardrobe staple you should immediately move to the front of your closet is the jacket. The words “jacket,” “coat” and “blazer” are often thought to be synonymous, interchangeable descriptors of the same garment — but this is by no means the case.

Jackets are less warm than a coat and range in length from cropped just above the ribcage to right at the hips. Falling into the category of “jacket” are jean jackets, leather jackets, motorcycle jackets and my own personal favorite, the bomber jacket. All of these offer moderate warmth and maximum style. They are often form fitting and allow a wider range of motion and f lexibility.

JENNA BELMONTE

never late but always fashionable Coats offer a greater degree of warmth and can also be stylish. However, they typically have a bit more padding to them and can make your silhouette appear larger than it is if they do not fit you well.

A great way to tell if a coat fits you properly is to note how it rests on your shoulders.

If you can pull an inch of fabric away from your shoulders, the coat is too big. Conversely, if you f lex or raise your hands above your head and feel as though the coat is going to burst at the seams, it does not fit well, and you should keep searching.

The trench coat and the pea coat are warm and uber fashionable season after season. The emerging trend for fall 2013 is to wear trench coats and pea coats in bright, bold and unexpected colors. Emerald is the designated color of 2013, but yellows and fuchsias are also replacing the go-to neutral shades of brown and black this year.

Blazers, unlike jackets and coats, offer very little protection from the elements and are highly evocative of prep-school uniforms. Designers like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren are notorious for creating stunning blazers every fall that play heavily off of the scholastic vibe. Blazers also possess a distinctly masculine and tailored presence, which makes them perfect for the days you want to try the menswear trend without having to know how to tie a tie.

While jackets, coats and blazers all have their respective merits, there is one other article of outerwear that I deem to be perfect for early fall: the cape. Capes are not currently all the rage, but I am a stalwart proponent of wearing what you love simply because you love it.

Capes are often of a medium weight and thickness — the perfect compromise between a jacket and a coat. They have ample arm room, allow for layering and movement and create clean, minimalistic lines. The drama and visual interest capes create is second to none. And besides, what could be better than wearing something worn by wizards and superheroes?

Boursiquot said they hoped to raise $2,000 by the end of the month, but as of Sunday they only raised an estimated $400. Though they fell short of their monetary goal, RaymondDucheine said the amount of awareness they raised exceeded expectations.

Phedeline Tanis, the sister who was with Yvline Tanis the night their mother was sent to the hospital, will speak Monday night.

Though their mother lived for eight years after the diagnosis, it was never easy for her or her family. No moment was harder than when a cashier at a Burlington Coat Factory mistook their mother for being pregnant, when in reality her tumor had grown so large that people often made that mistake.

“As I grew older, I became really protective of my mother,” Yvline Tanis said. “As a kid, it was one of those things where I told myself she would be OK, that there was no way she was going to die. As I grew up and watched my mother go through changes and go in an out of the hospital so much, I started noticing how people treated her.”

Overall the members said the campaign was a success and they hope to make it an annual event. In the future, they said they will start planning earlier so they have the entire month of September to raise money for the Turn The Towns Teal organization.

Yvline Tanis said she used this campaign as a healing process and a way to help others.

Said Yvline Tanis: “I never talked about her publicly before. But on the anniversary, I finally felt comfortable telling people, and now I want to raise other people’s chance of survival.” jtinfant@syr.edu @joeinfantino

FILM FESTIVAL FROM PAGE 9

By Linda Gorman STAFF WRITER

The only thing predictable about Syracuse weather is its unpredictability. It may have been 70 degrees and sunny when you walked to class, but that is no guarantee you won’t need your rain boots for the walk home.

Chances are you already use your smartphone to track the weather. But if your current weather app seems a little stale or you just have a weakness for good design, check out Nice Weather, a minimalist weather app released for free into the Google Play store last week by French developer Aurélien Hubert.

After finding your location via manual entry or your phone’s built in location services, Nice Weather represents the day’s weather graphically. The background color of the app changes in response to the forecast — yellow for sun, gray for cloudy and so on.

The day’s temperature is shown as an interactive line graph, rising or falling based on the predicted temperature. A second, shaded graph shows the chance of precipitation for the day. By sliding the graphs up and down, users can pull up specific data on the day’s weather in three-hour intervals.

Swiping to the right brings up the forecast for the next five days, all of which is stored locally so it can be accessed off line.

If you happen to have more European sensibilities, the app can also be customized to show metric or imperial measurements, and

is available in French, Dutch and Finnish as well as English.

While the detailed forecasts and customization options are nice, Nice Weather is a standout because of its intuitive design.

Thanks to the inclusion of color and the graphs, it only takes a quick glance to get an idea of what type of weather you need to prepare for.

Currently there is no associated widget available, but hopefully Hubert has it in the works. This app would be handy to have directly on the home screen of your computer.

Unfortunately, Nice Weather is still suffering from some bugs that interfere with the app’s performance. In my own experience, the app was not always able to secure a location and sometimes quit unexpectedly.

Reviewers on Google Play reported other issues with incorrect time and weather data.

Given that the app has been available to the public for less than a week, it’s fair to overlook Nice Weather’s f laws — for the moment — and applaud its creative reinterpretation of a smartphone staple. lggorman@syr.edu

Africa, was shut down for its controversial news coverage.

Greyson was arrested during a period of unrest in Cairo on Aug.16, 2013. His film “Rex vs. Singh” draws attention to the complex issues of Asian minorities and immigration, intertwined with homosexuality, in Canada.

Another film shown at the festival was “Off Label” by Donal Mosher and Michael Palmieri.

It discussed how some major pharmaceutical companies endanger the lives of people by conducting illicit drug tests, some of which have repercussions that last a lifetime.

The opening film on the festival’s final day was “The Act of Killing” by Joshua Oppenheimer. The film is an exposé of Indonesian gangsters who were involved in the mass slaughter of a Chinese community in the late 1960s during the military overthrow of the Indonesian government. Tension and hatred toward the communist ideals are considered to be the prime causes of these killings. Through reenacting several incidents that took place at the time, the film examines the psyche of

13

gangsters like Anwar Congo, the prime subject of the film.

For audience member Claudia Klaver, director of graduate studies in the English department, the narrative film “Intersexion” by Grant Lahood was one of the most memorable.

The film takes the audience through the lives of several “intersex” people as they talk about everyday trials and tribulations. The stigma attached to being “intersex” and the issues of “difference of embodiment” are explored at length in the film. “‘Intersexion’ was extremely informative as it engaged with the lives of real people and not just in theory,” said Klaver.

The festival closed with a Bollywood film, “Kai Po Che!” translating to “I have cut the kite.” The Gujarati phrase draws its cultural connotations from the traditional “kite flying” time in India where people engage in an informal and communal kite flying activity.

When one cuts the thread of another kite, they say, “Kai Po Che!” But, the film still explored heavy content, entailing the lives of three young friends who witness communal riots, slaughter and bloodshed of their beloved family and friends.

Orange regresses with pair of 1-0 losses to conference rivals

By Austin Mirmina STAFF WRITER

Taylor Haenlin hurried SU up field in a frantic last attempt to tie the game against Clemson.

The sophomore defender clumsily struck the ensuing pass and whiffed WAKE FOREST 1 when a teammate passed SYRACUSE 0 the ball back to her, watching it roll innocentCLEMSON 1 ly toward the SU sideline.

Head coach Phil WhedSYRACUSE 0 don tightly crossed his arms and leaned back, visibly disappointed, as he searched for an answer to his questions.

“After putting in two very good performances last week, I thought we had found our niche,” Wheddon said. “I thought we had found our way to play the game.”

Wheddon admitted that Syracuse (4-7-1, 0-5-1 Atlantic Coast) looked terrible from start to finish against the Tigers (6-2-3, 3-1-1), showing a lack of composure and concentration in an eventual 1-0 loss on Thursday at SU Soccer Stadium.

The Orange came out with a re-sharpened focus against Wake Forest (8-2-1, 3-2-1) on Sunday, playing with a higher level of energy and enthusiasm, but SU lost a second-straight home game 1-0.

A week ago, SU showed noticeable improvement in overcoming a two-goal deficit to tie then-No. 18 Duke. But against Clemson, the concentration wasn’t there.

“We just weren’t there mentally on the field,” freshman midfielder Maddie Damm said. “We weren’t connecting (on passes) very well and we

made silly mistakes throughout the game.”

Forward Erin Simon said she felt an unsettling vibe during the pregame warm-up drills.

“You can feel it between each other … the energy just isn’t right,” Simon said.

Syracuse forced itself into tough spots, dribbling into the corner and finding it difficult to deliver any quality crosses.

Wheddon said he noticed the Orange played with a renewed focus against Wake Forest on Sunday. SU looked visibly energized as it tried to match the Demon Deacons’ competitiveness.

But an early 1-0 setback pressured SU into forcing uncharacteristic mistakes, which impeded its ability to capitalize on scoring chances in the attacking third.

“I felt that we got desperate at times, and served some balls in the box that we probably didn’t need to,” Wheddon said. “A lot of balls went over the bar or into their defense.”

Simon said the players were desperate to score that elusive equalizer, and the tension caused them to be antsy and anxious.

Often times, SU would use effective combination passes to advance the ball up the sidelines.

The forwards couldn’t maintain composure once the Demon Deacon defenders enclosed with tight pressure, prompting a sloppy pass or turnover.

Wheddon said he was encouraged with SU’s effort on Sunday, but stressed that his team needs to “breathe and relax” to avoid playing frantically under pressure.

If SU can stay poised on the attack, Simon is confident the Orange can get over the hump.

“We definitely have to pick our heads up. We have to believe in ourselves that we can play in the ACC,” Simon said. “We know we can play

with these teams, we just have to capitalize on our opportunities.” awmirmin@syr.edu

Virginia limits Syracuse offense with physical play in grueling ACC tilt

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

Syracuse’s frustration reverberated throughout SU Soccer Stadium, taking the form of an Emil Ekblom fist hitting the Plexiglas of the Orange bench.

Syracuse had been overmatched.

“We definitely had enough time to come back,” forward Grant Chong said. “It was just a matter of will and power to get back in the game and unfortunately we weren’t able to do that.”

Pitted against a physical Virginia team, the Orange (6-3, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) failed to produce any offense in its 2-0 loss to the Cavaliers (4-3-1, 1-2-1) at SU Soccer Stadium on Saturday night.

Syracuse continued to struggle in adapting to the Atlantic Coast Conference’s faster style of play. The Orange has scored just three goals through four ACC matchups.

UVA’s suffocating defense limited SU to just two shot attempts, only one of which was on net.

“They did a good job, didn’t they?” head coach Ian McIntyre said. “They really stifled our service into our front guys.

“They work very hard. They get two players around the ball and really try to smother you.”

The physicality of the contest was felt just as early as UVA’s first goal less than six minutes into the game.

SU’s Juuso Pasanen drew a handful of whistles throughout the half from the Cavaliers’ defense. And a collision sent Orange defender Jordan Murrell to the grass for the first of his two injury breaks in the 20th minute.

Playing from behind just 5:45 into the match and facing heavy pressure from the UVA defense, Syracuse’s attack was never able to catch up.

In the 30th minute, freshman Alex Halis started a break and dished to Ekblom, who couldn’t put it in the back of the net.

That turned out to be the best chance the Orange would have all night.

“Against these teams, when you have opportunities you have to capitalize on them,” Chong said. “Because you may only have one or two each game. We weren’t able to. We didn’t have very perfect chances to try to score, and it just didn’t work out well for us.”

The Cavaliers offered each other plenty of help defensively, especially on the outside. Chris Nanco, one of the Orange’s more aggressive forwards on Saturday, saw a handful of double

teams as he tried to maneuver down the sideline and toward the box.

“We’re not one of the biggest teams, so it hurts us in the long run,” Nanco said. “The physicality of Virginia, we needed to use our ball work and our speed to get around that and that’s what will help us down the stretch.”

The personal fouls and chippy play finally culminated with a scuffle in the 62nd minute. Murrell had a few words with the UVA defense after Halis took the brunt of a hard

foul, a penalty that drew Virginia’s first of two yellow cards.

But on the ensuing free kick, Murrell’s cross was not close enough to the net to give SU a chance to score.

“This will be a tough one to watch on video,” McIntyre said, “but it’ll also be a great one to watch on video because I think we’ll take a lot away from what they brought and how they smothered the space in the game.” phildabbra@syr.edu

Sloppy play, mental mistakes plague SU in weekend sweep

By Eric Riter STAFF WRITER

Another weekend passes and two more losses are added to the record. That’s what Syracuse has been dealing with all season.

Head coach Leonid MIAMI (FLA.) 3 Yelin said it’s not a lack of SYRACUSE 1 talent, but rather mental ineptitude.

FLORIDA STATE 3 “Absolutely, absolutely, SYRACUSE 1 absolutely. 150 percent,” Yelin said. “If it’s everyone saying, ‘I don’t want to make mistakes,’ no one wants to make mistakes.”

Syracuse tends to stick with every team that it plays, but in crunch time it always seems to fall short. The Orange (5-9, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) dropped two four-set matches this weekend, falling to No. 17 Florida State (9-4, 2-0) on Saturday and Miami (Fla.) (9-3, 2-0) on Sunday.

Unforced errors often result from a lack of a strong state of mind, Yelin said. This trend was exemplified in Saturday’s match against No. 17 Florida State. In Syracuse’s first match in the Carrier Dome this season, it came out to a hot start, taking the first set 25-19.

The second set was an even contest until about halfway through. Syracuse pulled within three on a service error by the Seminoles, but that was the closest the Orange would get.

Florida State scored six straight points, ending with a 25-16 beat down.

The final two sets saw more of the same for Syracuse, as it was outscored 50-26.

“We came into the second wanting it even more and we burned ourselves out,” outside hitter Gosia Wlaszczuk said. “We couldn’t stay constant in the game. It was just about us, not them.”

The second match of the weekend saw more

of the same.

In the first set against the Hurricanes, SU went up 16-15. Outside hitter Silvi Uattara sent a vicious spike straight into the chest of Miami outside hitter Misty Ma’a. The Hurricanes scored seven straight points, four of which were on unforced errors by Syracuse. The set ended with Miami scoring 10 of the final 12 points, which culminated in a 25-18 victory.

“These are just some things that happen that just build off each other,” setter Erica Handley said. “We have to minimize our errors and just keep pushing to not let them get on the rolls that they do.”

The second set showed what the team is capable of, Yelin said, as it won the set 25-22.

During the final two sets, though, Syracuse fell back into the rut it can’t seem to get out of.

The third set started with four straight points for the Hurricanes, two coming off of unforced errors by Syracuse. The Orange brought it to within two at 11-9, but that was as close as it would get.

SU ended up dropping the set 25-19. After pulling within two, Syracuse lost all semblance of order on the court, looking disorganized and committing unforced errors.

The final set of the weekend epitomized the Syracuse season.

In a back-and-forth match, Syracuse tied the set at 17 with a stout block attempt by middle blocker Lindsay McCabe. But Miami scored eight of the final nine points to win the set 25-18.

Yelin believes the team is a work in progress and needs to develop mental fortitude.

“It is impossible to gain or lose skills in that matter of two or three days,” Yelin said. “It is all about the mental preparation and how mentally you can handle yourself.” esriter@syr.edu

APARTMENTS FOR RENT

FROM PAGE 20

In front of 1,803 fans — the largest crowd in SU’s Soccer Stadium history — the Orange immediately put itself in a hole.

The spirited aura surrounding the game was dampened and Syracuse restarted play on a somber note.

And it all happened in a flash.

The Orange (6-3-0, 1-3-0 Atlantic Coast) couldn’t shake an early deficit in its 2-0 loss to Virginia (4-3-1, 1-2-1) Saturday night.

Once the Cavaliers netted a pair of firsthalf goals, the Orange’s scoring chances were scarce and the crowd was prematurely deflated.

“We just got off on the wrong foot,” junior midfielder Nick Perea said. “They pressured us and got those two early goals. That put us on our heels and it was tough to come back from that.”

For Allen, a freshman from Rochester, N.Y., it was quite the homecoming. After heading in the game’s first goal, the local product swiftly jogged toward the packed bleachers while beating his chest.

Thirty-five minutes later, Bono bobbled Allen’s free kick, and fellow freshman Riggs Lennon gave the Cavaliers the 2-0 advantage.

Again, Allen turned to the crowd and this time clenched his fists while letting out a celebratory cry.

“He’s a talented player, a U-18 U.S. national team player,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “You know, he’s a fun player to watch.”

The Cavaliers shifted into a defensive formation at the start of the second half in an effort to limit the Orange’s chances, and it worked.

Virginia’s defensive mindset, coupled with a possession-savvy attack, kept the Orange at bay, as Syracuse only mustered one shot in each half.

“I don’t think we had the right quality and didn’t play as well as we could have,” SU defender Chris Makowski said. “I thought we were better in parts of the second half but I think we needed that kind of pressure for the rest of the game.”

With 14 minutes left in the second half and SU’s comeback window quickly closing, a small group of fans made one last push.

A “Let’s go Orange” chant fell limp almost as soon as it started, and a sad silence overtook the crowd. Consumed by the thought of defeat, a cluster of fans on the hill in front of East Colvin Street lowered its volume as well.

What was left was 11 winded players giving their last bits of effort to a game that had gotten away from them. Their gasping breaths could be seen in the crisp air as they tried to give the Cavaliers any reason to remember the first of many meetings between the two teams.

And the closing push didn’t go unnoticed by all. When SU stretched on the far side of the field after the game, McIntyre walked to every one of his players and thanked them for giving it everything they had.

The Orange has now dropped three of its first four games in the ACC, but there is time to right the ship.

“It’s tough to scratch and claw and come out with low quality, but tonight we were second best,” McIntyre said. “Just talked to the guys and we just finished the front nine, and the progress report has been pretty good.

“You give a quality team like Virginia a couple of sloppy goals and it becomes an uphill battle. But our guys kept going and going and that’s why I’m proud of them.” jcdoug01@syr.edu

MILFORD FROM PAGE 20

back when the Orange still had the talent and reputation to be far more selective in their recruiting process. Milford recruits going to Syracuse wasn’t rare, but the stream wasn’t consistent. The bond wasn’t cemented yet.

That started when SU signed Anderson in Chaplick’s first season. Chaplick was named head coach the year after and grew close with former SU head coach Paul Pasqualoni through the years.

Chaplick recalls Pasqualoni sending coordinators Steve Addazio and George DeLeone on recruiting trips. They would wear brown, tweed Harris suits and overcoats — and always meant business.

“They’d sit you down and they’d tell that kid, ‘You’ve got to make sure that you want to be a Syracuse Orangeman,’” Chaplick said. “It was great, great stuff. It was a different era back then with Pasqualoni. “… They could truly recruit with anyone back then.”

But by the time Chaplick and Milford finished their first season in New Berlin in 2005, the Orange had gone 16-20 in its last three seasons.

And just as importantly, Chaplick was strengthening his rapport with the Syracuse program.

Horne and Joel Coon-Ribble became the first multi-player class in SU-Milford history that offseason. ...

Building steam The current Milford weight room is still filled with dated and dinged up equipment, but it smells no worse than any gym. It’s three rooms wide and overlooked by posters of the many former Milford products to reach the NFL. A photo of Horne catching a sideline pass with the Kansas City Chiefs sits above an adjustable, multi-purpose press in the middle room.

Five players followed him to Syracuse in the three years after he first suited up for SU. Then the Orange landed its next star via Milford in 2008, Mikhail Marinovich.

Marinovich turned down Miami and Purdue to come to Syracuse, gracing upstate New York with what Chaplick called the fastest first step since Dwight Freeney — only he was 60 pounds lighter. The last eight years haven’t all gone quite as smoothly with injuries, academic shortcomings and behavioral disqualifications, but the addition of Marinovich helped open the floodgates.

Chaplick grew close with former SU head coach Greg Robinson (2005-08) and even more so with fellow “Northeast guy” Doug Marrone (2009-12) as players like Horne, who played two seasons with the Chiefs, and Marinovich, a

three-year starter at SU, highlighted the era.

The two most promising NFL talents, though, never got their college careers off the ground. Defensive end Jermaine Pierce was diagnosed with having blood clots in his lungs during freshman training camp at SU in 2007.

Linebacker Myles Davis tore apart his knee playing against West Point while at Milford in 2011.

Neither played again.

“Jermaine Pierce might’ve been the best guy we ever sent to Syracuse if he’d gotten to play,” Milford Dean of Students and Business Administrator Mike Brennan said. “He was a beast.”

Syracuse honored the scholarships of Pierce and Davis, but the flow of talent from Milford slowed. Ken Tinney (Milford 2005) and Romale Tucker (2007-08) failed to clear academically and the Orange did not place any new players at Milford between 2008-09. ...

The last batch Broyld just didn’t understand what Buff Bowen was telling him.

“Like alien,” the Milford quarterbacks coach described Broyld’s initial inability to comprehend instructions. “Painful.”

But Broyld worked his way up from third-

“One of the best things (Milford) does for them is not only help prepare the good ones, but also weed out the bad ones”

Buff Bowen

MILFORD QUARTERBACKS COACH

string quarterback to starting for the 12-0 Falcons. He became the most exciting player on the team, as well as a young man coaches described as coachable and a pleasure to work with.

The same 18 year old who was charged with public lewdness for dropping his pants and exposing himself after a Rush-Henrietta (N.Y.) High School basketball game three months earlier was becoming a Division I student athlete.

“I learned a lot of life lessons. That’s what Milford is about,” Broyld said. “It teaches you how to appreciate things when you get to college.”

Broyld, Davis, Jeremiah Kobena, Travon Burke and Jamar McGloster are all Milford products currently listed on the Orange roster.

It was the 2011 class that revitalized the pipeline, though each of the last three classes have blemishes.

Davis and Kobena were supposed to be joined

by Myles Davis. Broyld’s teammate Tyree Smallwood didn’t clear academically and struggled

with life at Milford. And in 2013, running back Myles Hilliard was kicked off the team for breaking team rules and fullback Marquis Bownlee had to be sent home for medical treatment.

“One of the best things the school does for them is not only help prepare the good ones, but also weed out the bad ones,” Bowen said.

“There’ve been a few kids who were supposed to go to Syracuse who never made it there.” ...

This year, there are no current Milford players committed to Syracuse. Chaplick hasn’t even spoken with first-year head coach Scott Shafer.

But the history is more important. The 14 Milford players that have played for Syracuse since 2005 provide Chaplick assurance that Shafer will come back for more.

“I don’t have to have him sit in my office,” Chaplick said. “I have a long-term relationship with Syracuse.”

SU offensive line coach Pat Perles was the first Orange coach to visit this season, looking at offensive linemen on Thursday. While he

didn’t make it clear to Chaplick which players he was particularly interested, Perles did call 6-foot-3, 280-pound Alexander Thompson last Friday.

Maybe he’ll be the next R.J. Anderson or Mikhail Marinovich. Or the next Romale Tucker or Andrey Baskin, each of whom was unable to clear academically in two years at Milford.

Maybe he’ll end up elsewhere. Either way, the pipeline will continue to flow as long as Chaplick’s desk remains a monotonous hourand-a-half drive from the Carrier Dome and talented players continue to gain eligibility.

He tells each new player as much at the start of each season.

“Why would you want to come to Milford and not go to school? And not go to practice?” Chaplick asks. “Go home. Go work at McDonalds because that’s where you’re going to end up.”

“Here in the middle of nowhere, you’ve got nothing to do but go to school and ball out.” sebail01@syr.edu @Stephen_Bailey1

ICE HOCKEY

Despite win, Orange works to improve heading into season

By Sam Blum STAFF WRITER

Nicole Ferrara was positioned by the goal when her teammate Larissa Martyniuk unleashed a shot to the net. It was quickly deflected, right to the waiting Ferrera, who SYRACUSE 3 smoothly chipped it in.

It wasn’t pretty, but as GUELPH 0 was the case for the Syracuse offense all night in its exhibition game, it was just enough to get the job done.

“It was definitely sloppy,” Ferrara said. “It was the first game of the season. You just have to get used to playing with each other. We’ll get better as the season goes along.”

Her shot put Syracuse up 3-1 against University of Guelph, a score that would hold until the final buzzer at Tennity Ice Pavilion on Friday night. The game was an exhibition, but it was a tough one, as Guelph entered the game having won its past 16 contests.

Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan acknowledged that beating the Canadian team was impressive and that the Gryphons provided a difficult task for the Syracuse attack.

“We’ve just got to manage the puck better. It’s pretty basic, and nothing we can’t handle.”

Paul Flanagan

SYRACUSE HEAD COACH

“You can see it’s a game where I think both teams got tired,” Flanagan said. “The puck was bouncing, a lot of turnovers in the neutral zone.

We’ve just got to manage the puck better. It’s pretty basic, and nothing we can’t handle in the next few practices.”

Flanagan made sure all of his players received minutes. This included the team’s eight freshmen.

One that stood out was Elizabeth Scala, the first of the newcomers to get on the board. The Rhode Island native scored on a breakaway goal midway through the second period, and her tally proved to be the game winner.

“I was kind of nervous at first, you know, with it being my first game,” Scala said. “But I just tried to take my opportunity and the chance that I got.”

Scala’s goal was a brief reprieve for an offense that couldn’t get comfortable on the ice all night. Even Scala acknowledged that the team wasn’t in mid-season form.

“We were just kind of running around a little bit,” Scala said, “but that’s expected in the beginning of the year and we’ve been working hard so hopefully that will help.”

The hard work will need to continue as Syracuse enters its regular season in Boston on Friday against Northeastern. Flanagan had every player suit up against Guelph, something he said he might be opposed to going forward in the hopes that the offense runs more steadily.

Flanagan admitted that his team, which finished its best-ever season at 20-15-1 last year, doesn’t have that “wow” factor, and that winning night in and night out will be a full-

team effort.

“We’re a team that has to be a blue-collar team,” Flanagan said. “We don’t have any superstars out there. I think we have a lot of parity amongst our lineup. We’re going to have to play hard, and real smart in terms of our decision making.” sblum@syr.edu

ACC pegs 3:30 start for Tigers

By Trevor Hass ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The Syracuse-Clemson game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Sunday. The game, SU’s ACC debut, will be televised regionally on ABC and to the rest of the nation on ESPN2.

No. 3 Clemson annihilated Wake Forest 56-7 on Saturday and is 4-0 on the season. Syracuse is coming off of a bye week and sits at 2-2 after losing to Penn State and Northwestern and blowing out Wagner and Tulane.

ESPN exercised a six-day option last Monday to announce its national game times for this weekend. On Sunday, the ACC also announced that Maryland-Florida State will start at noon and be nationally televised on ESPN, and Georgia Tech-Miami (Fla.) will be nationally televised on ESPNU at 3:30 p.m.

EW BERLIN, N.Y. — Sixtyeight miles: That’s the length of windy, one-lane roads and eroding farmland that separates Milford Academy from Syracuse University.

It’s a trip highlighted by homemade stock cars and decaying farmhouses, ever-stretching corn fields and sale signs for pure maple syrup.

Milford spends in constant regimentation in hopes of one day making that journey.

Fourteen have since 2006, including current Syracuse H-back Ashton Broyld and outside linebacker Dyshawn Davis — arguably the best players on each side of the ball for the Orange. Nine others who were placed by Syracuse at Milford didn’t make it through.

“You’ve got to be a dog to go to Milford and survive,” Broyld said.

than college football. Milford, you’ve got kids coming in the first day who leave because they can’t live like that.”

Milford Academy is a four-building, football-only private school sitting halfway up a hill in New Berlin, isolated to the point of loneliness. But its reputation for placing athletes at Division I universities makes it a draw to many who didn’t reach the NCAA’s required score on the SAT. Roughly 65 attend each fall, and every day their schedule is the same.

Wake up at 6:30. Lift. Shower.

Eat breakfast. Start classes at 9:20.

Practice. Change. Eat dinner. Team meetings until 9. Lights out by 10.

Each athlete enrolls in six classes and averages a 130-point SAT improvement. In the rare intervals of free time, “Frankie’s” New York Pizzeria and the local Stewart’s convenience store are the biggest parties in town.

Some can’t handle the lonely lifestyle. Head coach Bill Chaplick kicks off an average of five players every year.

Others can, but almost everyone agrees it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever experienced.

Slow start dooms SU in loss to Cavs

Opening the pipeline R.J. Anderson still remembers the smell of Milford Academy’s old gym. Fourteen years ago, back when it was still located in Milford, Conn.

“Shit. Piss. It was just mold,” Anderson said. “It had this damp, dew feeling. It seemed like it had been flooded sometime and they kind of never got the stench out of there. It had this mildew smell.”

The scent of that decrepit workout room stayed with the quarterback all the way through a four-year career at SU in which he started 33 games after Donovan McNabb’s departure.

“I just remember going there and thinking, ‘I’ll do anything to get out of here,’” Anderson said. But Anderson came before the pipeline truly opened up. Before Milford moved to New Berlin in 2004, and

The game’s decisive moment came so quickly and so soon that it could have gone unnoticed.

Less than six minutes in, Virginia’s Marcus VIRGINIA 2 Salandy-Defour SYRACUSE 0 spun a lob pass right onto Jordan Allen’s head. Allen, situated in the center of Syracuse’s box, placed the ball past a flat-footed Alex Bono and gave the Cavaliers all they would need for the night.
