Students react to Kavanaugh decision

Behind the curtain

By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

Syracuse University students and professors who opposed Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Saturday confirmation to the Supreme Court expressed “outrage” with the Senate’s vote to support the 53-year-old judge, while the leader of SU’s College Republicans backed the move. Kavanaugh, who was confirmed Saturday by a 50-to-48 vote, faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault. Kavanaugh denied the allegations. Crystal Letona, president of Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment, said she was outraged by Kavanaugh’s confirmation — she was disappointed with how Sen. Susan Collins (D-M.E.) defended Kavanaugh despite sexual misconduct allegations by three women.

How Brian Konkol’s efforts to revitalize Hendricks Chapel in his first year have generated praise, tension By Mary Catalfamo asst. digital editor

ne of Brian Konkol’s goals when he first took over as dean of Hendricks Chapel in August 2017 was to make its programs more relevant to an increasingly nondenominational community.

Since then, his weekly interfaith program has won an award for promoting “spiritual and religious growth” on a college campus. Hendricks also hosted several forums in the wake of the Theta Tau videos controversy.This summer, the chapel received a $1 million donation. “In short, most of my student

leaders and I have witnessed a great support under Dean Konkol’s leadership, and overall, I think he is a blessing and gift not just for Hendricks Chapel, but for Syracuse University and (the) broader community as well,” said Amir Duric, Hendricks’ Muslim chaplain, in an email. see hendricks page 4

2 SA cabinet members resign since August By Natalie Rubio-Licht contributing writer

Two Syracuse University Student Association cabinet members have resigned since the beginning of the fall 2018 semester, leaving vacancies on committees that work closely with SU administrators and help assess the needs of students. Evan Torrisi, the former chair of the Academic Affairs committee, stepped down because of his workload from a job at Fidelity Investments, he said. Noah Cyr,

the former Student Life committee chair, also resigned earlier this semester. Cyr declined to comment on this story. Ghufran Salih, SA’s president, opened both positions to applications from the student body in separate campus-wide emails in September and October. Salih and SA Vice President Kyle Rosenblum selected Torrisi and Cyr during the summer after an application and interview process. The SA assembly confirmed the pair during the first meeting of the

2018-19 academic year. Salih said in an October campuswide email that the Student Life chair plays an important role in assessing the needs of the campus. “In the past, the Chair of Student Life has organized initiatives such as the free menstrual products in the bathroom, trips to go apple picking or skiing, remote access for SU commuters, and more,” she said. Torrisi said his former position involves extensive communication with SA and the administration. “The kind of person that would

really enjoy this position are (those) that really like to make a change,” Torrisi said. Applicants for the Academic Affairs chair can think beyond the obvious aspects of what affects academics, such as looking at food insecurity and the safety of SU students, Rosenblum said. Both positions require attendance at three weekly meetings: committee meetings, cabinet meetings and assembly meetings, Torrisi said. nrrubiol@syr.edu

One side was going to feel the sting of some sort of injustice either way. Domenic Biamonte president of su college republicans

“It is going to make survivors feel like no matter what, even if we’re yelling from the rooftop, people are not listening to us, not believing us,” said Letona, who organized two recent protests against Kavanaugh on SU’s campus. Despite her initial feeling of defeat, she will continue to fight against sexual violence and rape culture, she said. “We only lost a small battle whereas right now there’s a whole war against women survivors, trans folk, women of color, queer folk, and it’s not gonna end here,” Letona said. Domenic Biamonte, a sophomore finance major and president of SU’s College Republicans, said he supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation. He said he believed Kavanaugh’s angry Senate testimony was justified because the judge watched his reputation “sink into a game of ‘he said, she said’” and experienced death threats against himself and his family. “I would probably have the same temperament that he did,” Biamonte said. “I don’t think it disqualifies him at all because his temperament is reflective of all the nonsense that was thrown at him see kavanaugh page 4

Kavanaugh has denied the allegations of all three women. “The abuser does not become the abuser overnight,” said Mariah Bermeo, a senior social studies education major at the protest. “As for the people who have been abused: I see you, I hear you, I believe you.” The Senate voted to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, three days after the FBI submitted a confidential report on allegations of sexual misconduct made by three women.

Cuomo undecided on Working Families endorsement

New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said he’s undecided whether to accept the endorsement from the Working Families Party for the upcoming gubernatorial election after it previously backed Cynthia Nixon, per WRVO. According to WRVO, Cuomo said he thinks the party’s members subscribed to a “theory” that voters wanted new, more progressive candidates. “They’re facing reality,” Cuomo said, “which differs from their theory.”

Nixon said she did not want to remain on the Working Families ballot after losing the September Democratic primary to Cuomo, and the party rejected a request to endorse Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins, according to WRVO. Vacant building owned by Greater Syracuse Land Bank catches on fire After receiving a call at about 8:50 p.m., firefighters put out a fire in the back of a vacant building at 103 Onondaga Ave. on Saturday night, WRVO reported. The building was owned by the Greater Syracuse Land Bank, which renovates vacant and tax-delinquent properties to productive use.

hendricks But some of the dean’s efforts to grow Hendricks Chapel have caused frustration among those already active at the chapel. The Daily Orange interviewed 11 students and other people involved in Hendricks to gauge reactions to Konkol’s communication with students last semester and changes at the chapel, including what some view as the contentious covering of a mural. Madeleine Buckley worked in the Dean’s Suite as a proctor before she graduated in spring 2018 and was a leader on SU’s Spiritual Life Council, the student-led campus interfaith dialogue group. She said members of the council were concerned that changes last year were made without sufficient input from students or others at Hendricks. Five leaders from the campus group gave the dean a letter listing their concerns at the end of last semester. The concerns from the council listed by Buckley included what the council felt were unconsulted changes such as hiring new faculty members, taking down bulletin boards and discussion of converting the Chaplains’ Suite from shared offices into a different layout. “Any amount of change is going to be jarring for everyone involved because we had just gone two years with an interim dean,” Buckley said. “So when we had a dean who was there with some longevity and vision and ability to make change ... , I think that was very jarring for a lot of people.” from page 1

kavanaugh over a couple weeks.” He said many Republicans are enthusiastic about Kavanaugh’s nomination because it was the most hard-fought Supreme Court nomination since that of Justice Clarence Thomas. Biamonte said the confirmation process was highly-politicized, and both Democrats and Republicans are to blame.

Buckley said she was concerned to first hear about Hendricks’ hiring of Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and Peg Northrup from an SU News release. “One of my other good friends who was very involved in the chapel sent it to me and was like ‘Did you know about this?’ and I was like ‘I had no idea,’” Buckley said. “She and I are two of the most involved people at Hendricks at that point, and we were like, ‘If we didn’t know about this, who does?’” In a second interview about three months later, Buckley said she feels that Konkol has implemented some of the council’s recommendations, such as holding open forums and meetings with the council. “I think those open lines of communication are the most key thing, and the fact that he’s doing that is really great and I can only assume it’s making a really positive impact,” Buckley said. Dina Eldawy, a senior international relations and citizenship and civic engagement double major, said she was one of the five students on the council who helped draft the letter. “One of the concerns we raised up was that we saw a lot of changes being made without consulting students or even the chaplains themselves,” Eldawy said. “So there definitely has been change to make that increased communication.” She noted that Konkol began to hold monthly meetings with the council and that part of Kantrowitz’s new position is to help facilitate communication between students on the council and the dean. Duric, the Muslim chaplain, said he

believes his students and people who work closely with Konkol trust his long-term vision for Hendricks. But the decision to cover a mural in the chapel raised frustrated some people in Hendricks, including the mural’s artist. Last spring, a curtain was hung along the wall of the Hasset Dean’s Suite that covered a mural by an artist named Harry FreemanJones, who used to teach in SU’s Renée Crown Honors Program in the 1960s. “I went up to the mural and just pulled aside the curtain, and I felt physically ill doing it,” said Freeman-Jones, describing the first time he saw the curtain, as he began to tear up. “Because this is so much a part of my ministry, my life’s ministry.” The curtained mural is abstract with dark tones. It conveys themes like life, death, decay, hope and redemption, Freeman-Jones wrote on his Facebook page. Konkol, in an interview with The D.O., said the curtain was the result of “a number of private conversations,” and later elaborated in a email that some people felt uncomfortable with the content of the mural. “We explored more broadly the thoughts of students, chaplains, staff, faculty, and the mural’s artist,” Konkol said in an email. “We came up with a solution that we believe is respectful of Chapel visitors along with the tradition and artistry of the mural.” The mural remains available for viewing and study during designated times and by request, Konkol said. But other campus community members praised Konkol for what they called a collabora-

tive and open-minded approach to leadership. Junior Emily Simens, from Syracuse Hillel, said though she is primarily involved with campus spiritual life outside of Hendricks, she hasn’t observed problems with Konkol’s communication or leadership over the same period of time. “He has these sessions where anyone can come talk to him,” said Simens, an information management and technology major. “I think that’s really impressive how as a dean, he’s so open with the community and willing to talk to anyone.” Konkol said in the email that 2017 was “a year of consistent and collaborative meetings” with staff, chaplains, advisers, student leaders and board members. “The frequent communications and conversations — which included members of the Spiritual Life Council — helped define new strategies and tactics to broaden campus engagement with the Chapel,” Konkol said. One example of those strategies, Konkol said, are the monthly “All Hendricks Meetings” that offer opportunities to engage with speak with him and other Hendricks administrators. He added that Hendricks Chapel is also working to fund council’s participation at the Parliament of the World’s Religions, which is an annual meeting to promote harmony among religions and spiritualities globally. Eldawy said she thinks continued communication is important to help students understand that the chapel serves them. “I think the Spiritual Life Council, hopefully, this year will have a greater say in how to meet that objective,” Eldawy said.

Christine Blasey Ford, one of Kavanaugh’s accusers, described an alleged sexual assault against her by Kavanaugh in a public Senate hearing in late September. When asked about Ford’s credibility as a witness, Biamonte said he believed she was sexually assaulted but the lack of evidence created a difficult situation. Andres Victoria, president of the SU College Democrats, said he thought Republicans did not acknowledge Ford’s testimony and instead made Kavanaugh a victim.

Biamonte said deciding to cancel Kavanaugh’s nomination after the allegations were made would have been a “disservice” to Kavanaugh and due process. But not listening to survivors of sexual assault would have also been disservice to them, he added. “It’s not really a win-win situation here,” Biamonte said. “One side was going to feel the sting of some sort of injustice either way. It was just a matter of which one.” Victoria said he believed Kavanaugh was

clearly partisan. “I think it’s sad,” Victoria said. “It’s showing that even our one branch that’s supposed to remain unbiased is becoming polarized.” Thirteen SU law professors signed a letter last week in The New York Times with more than 2,400 other law professors around the nation opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination after his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That letter was sent to the Senate on Thursday.

Here’s why SU students should vote

SA’s Kavanaugh email is commendable

oting has always been important. But the 2018 midterm elections present an opportunity for voters, especially college-age voters, to have a huge impact on the future direction of the United States. The American public has the ability to be more engaged with politics than ever before. Through the power of social media and the prevalence of a 24-hour news cycle, it has become almost impossible for Americans to avoid politics. But even though engagement might be high, the representation for voters among elected leaders is not nearly as high as it should be. Our elected leaders are meant to be representatives for the districts or states they represent — but it’s no secret that there’s a lack of representation for women and minorities in government. Over recent years, we’ve seen leaders simply ignore the will of the voters they’re meant to represent. A plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act was disapproved by 60 percent of voters, yet was one vote away from passing. Only 26 percent of Americans approved of the tax reform bill that was passed last December.

NICK TURNER

ALL POLITICS ARE HOPEFUL Just recently, we watched Dr. Christine Blasey Ford give a testimony on the details of her sexual assault allegation against thenSupreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. While she did this, she looked up at a 21-person committee. Seventeen of those people were men. That is not a representation of America. The 2018 midterm elections offer voters a chance to be heard, and that’s especially true for college-age voters. Voter turnout drops among all demographics in midterm elections, but this is a greater issue for young voters. A recent poll showed that only 28 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 are certain they will vote in the midterm elections, while 74 percent of seniors say they will. “The midterm elections are less ingrained in the public consciousness than the general election every four years and I believe that is what plays the biggest role in decreased turnout,” Katie Shanahan, president of SU’s Democracy Matters, said in an email.

“It only takes a few minutes to register to vote or request an absentee ballot but it’s easy to dismiss it as unimportant when you have a million pressing things to attend to,” Shanahan said. As voters, we can never have direct control of how our elected leaders behave or vote. The only thing we can directly control is who those elected leaders are. Control of both the Congress and Senate are at stake in November. It can be easy to dismiss midterm elections, like the upcoming one, as unimportant. While elections are not typically decided by a single vote, if hundreds of people have that mentality, those numbers add up. Until the day in which everyone in the U.S. votes equally, we will never truly get a representation of America in government. Until then, it is crucial for young people to pay attention and involve themselves in the political process. You can start on Nov. 6. You can change the course of history.

ore than 100 students and faculty gathered Thursday on Syracuse University’s Quad to protest Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. Those voices matter, and how campus community members shared experiences related to sexual assault and violence should not go ignored. On Sunday, SU’s Student Association sent a campus-wide email that not only addressed Kavanaugh’s confirmation, but also provided definitive ways to support those impacted by sexual assault, misconduct and rape culture. The Daily Orange commends SA for that communication and believes the email, sent by President Ghufran Salih, is an effective form of advocacy on behalf of the student body. That support is critical. It’s important that SU acknowledge the conversation at the university, spurred by the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford before

the Senate Judiciary Committee in late September, and to the best of its ability ensure that students understand counseling resources available to them. Thursday’s demonstration showed that students won’t shy away from important conversations surrounding sexual assault and rape culture, and Monday’s email from Salih is an example of how to best support those affected by Kavanaugh’s confirmation, moving forward.

Annual apple fest a success By Jishnu Nair staff writer

Members of the Native Student Program prepared signs on Friday for the annual Indigenous Peoples Day rally in Columbus Square, which will feature local speakers and performers. haley robertson asst. feature editor

By Haley Robertson asst. feature editor

Manlius road marker placed by the the Works Progress Administration in the early 20th century reads: “Indian Hill was the home of the Onondaga Indians.” Scott Stevens, a citizen of the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation, said some people would be “very surprised” to know the Onondaga nation is still here today, living just down the road on their reservation. “They always place Indigenous people of this region in the distant past,” said Stevens, the director of Native American and Indigenous studies at Syracuse University. This will be the third year that SU has recognized the second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples Day — the holiday was officially no longer recognized as Columbus Day after students proposed the idea to university officials in 2016. “We do as native people live in the state,

Native Student Program brings awareness to Indigenous Peoples Day and so the increased recognition that we get from the university is a necessary sign of respect,” Stevens said. Senior Maris Kaharonkwas Jacobs, who identifies with the Kahnawake Mohawk, helped collect signatures in support of changing the holiday’s name to Indigenous Peoples Day. She said she remembers standing on the Quad asking for signatures, even though some didn’t support the change.

“It’s a day that we’ve kind of reclaimed as something for us,” Jacobs said. “And not only that, it’s another teaching moment for us, for people that question.” Students in the Native Student Program had their sights set on something more. At the Haudenosaunee Promise Scholars reception in 2016, the university announced that Haudenosaunee flags would be flown alongside U.S. flags were on campus. Stevens said the university’s decision to fly the Haudenosaunee flag is a rarity. He’s taught at other institutions, including Arizona State University and SUNY Buffalo, where indigenous people were not recognized by the university administration. Stevens said he sees SU’s relationship with the Onondaga nation as a long-term one that is continually growing. Although there’s still room for increased visibility, Stevens said the university’s decision to implement a land acknowledgement before major campus events was a step see indigenous page 8

Weekend rains and a muddy field couldn’t keep thousands of visitors away from the annual LaFayette Apple Festival. The annual event — this was their 46th — was held on the grounds of a former apple farm on Rowland Road, hosting more than 400 artisans and craftspeople from all over New York. Visitors entered the festival through a barn housing the festival gift shop and the cider mill. The mill, which is the only mill in the state authorized to distribute unprocessed apple cider, stood out among the crowd. While it can’t sell the apple cider, free samples were available for visitors. Connie Chapman, whose family operates the LaFayette Apple Festival Cider Mill, said the unprocessed cider is noted for its fresher taste. “No one makes cider like this anymore,” Chapman said. Chapman’s family has been running the mill for more than 20 years, and her niece Sarah has been working at the mill since she was a little girl. The mill uses different batches of apples to make the cider, and Chapman said each apple type brings a slightly different flavor to the cider. She said Galas are sweeter and great for eating, whereas McIntosh apples are more tart, but great for cider. “You can pretty much use any kind of an apple to make cider, but I’ve heard that the best cider comes when you mix up a bunch of apples and use their juices for cider,” Chapman said. Just down the path from the Cider Mill was another barn, which featured The Church of the Nativity at Saint Joseph’s apple fritter booth. The apple fritters, pies and turnovers all support the church operations, according to volunteer Cathy Nagel. “St. Joe’s was one of the first groups to get involved in the apple festival,” Nagel said. “The baked goods all support the church. It’s the only fundraiser we do all year.” Many volunteers, including Boy Scout troops, helped to make the church’s pies, which sold for $12 each see apples page 8

‘Queer Eye’ star Antoni Porowski to visit SU this month By Haley Robertson asst. feature editor

POROWSKI

Antoni Porowski of Netf lix’s “Queer Eye” series will attend an event at Syracuse University’s Goldstein Auditorium on Oct. 20 at 8 p.m., University

Union announced Sunday. The event, sponsored in part by Traditions Commission, will include a cooking demonstration by Porowski followed by an audience Q&A session. Tickets are $5 for SU and ESF students, $10 for alumni, faculty and staff and $15 for the public. Tickets go on sale Tuesday at the Schine Box Office. Prior to the show, the SU homecoming court will be crowned.

“Queer Eye” is a Netflix series reboot of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” from the early 2000s. The show follows the “Fab Five” — Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness and Porowski — as they perform lifestyle makeovers for people across the country. The Fab Five helps their clients with home design, grooming habits, personal wardrobe, diet and cultural endeavors.

Porowski is the show’s food and wine specialist. He got his start in the kitchen as a child, watching his mother cook for hours, according to a UU news release. This self-taught education began with studying culinary greats such as Julia Child, Jacques Pépin and Anthony Bourdain. Porowski worked in several North American restaurants before connecting with Ted Allen, one of

the original “Queer Eye” Fab Five members. Porowski worked as Allen’s personal chef. This fall, Porowski opened his own restaurant, The Village Den, in New York City’s West Village. The restaurant’s menu features dietfriendly bowls, salads and smoothies. Doors for Porowski’s cooking demonstration and audience Q&A open at 7:15 p.m. hrober03@syr.edu

indigenous in the right direction. “It’s an interesting problem that we’re here among you and present and yet it’s often very invisible to people,” Stevens said. Last Friday, several students came together to address that problem. They met at the Native Student Program is located on Euclid Avenue is making posters for a rally in Columbus Square on Monday. The event will feature local speakers and artists from the indigenous community in an effort to acknowledge the tragedies of Columbus’ history. Brainstorming poster ideas, students searched online for Columbus Day memes, hoping to find designs and slogans that will connect their audience. Signs from previous demonstrations laid strewn across the table, expressing sentiments such as “It’s a great day to be indigenous” and “We’re still here.” One student asked if it was appropriate to wear her regalia to the protest. Another student responded saying she was going to wear a graphic t-shirt, but that people should wear what they feel most comfortable in. Philip George, a junior international relations and religion dual student who identifies with the Cayuga, Mohawk and Oneida, plans to speak publicly at the demonstration during his first time attending the annual Columbus Square rally. He said it’s important for Native Americans, especially leaders of federally-recognized tribes, to speak from page 7

apples at the stand. The apple fritters, however, were made on site. The bite-sized treats take about ten minutes to cook, according to chef Brant Fagan, who supervised St. Joseph’s fritter kitchen. “We’ve got a machine in the back that helps to core the apples when they start out whole,” said Fagan. “Then we slice them, coat them in donut batter, drop them in the fryer for about five minutes, coat them in powdered sugar and cinnamon and serve them up.”

up about modern injustices. “We’re ignored all the time,” George said. “We’re always ignored with polls and voting polls and nobody seems to talk about with Native Americans think.” For George, helping people understand the truth about Native history is an important step in resolving modern issues. George said he would like to see SU invest in a Native American education center. He envisions a gathering place where the indigenous community can bring the Syracuse community to teach Native ceremonies and other social events. Since Stevens began working at SU, he has seen growth in the Native American and Indigenous studies program. The department recently hired Danika Medak-Saltzman, a women’s and gender studies professor who specializes in indigenous feminisms, among other things. Jacobs and others in the Native Student Program are working to increase awareness beyond the classroom. She said the university’s land acknowledgement and decision to fly the Haudenosaunee flag are steps in the right direction, but there’s more that needs to be done. “We want to go further than that because ultimately we want the campus to know and be educated about who we are,” Jacobs said. They are working toward more collaboration with chiefs and clan mothers to develop the university’s relationship with the Onondaga nation, she said.

After spending her time advocating for indigenous students through planning Native Heritage month activities, participating in Dakota Access Pipeline protests and working with Indigenous Students at Syracuse, Jacobs has reached her goal of giving back to her community. Although Jacobs will graduate in the spring, she said her commitment to advocating for indigenous peoples won’t stop once she leaves campus. She encourages the Syracuse community to

Fagan said the church used about 15,000 apples and 1,600 pounds of donut mix to make the fritters for both days of the festival. The booth had a line stretching all the way around the building. Apples themselves could be bought by the pack or the pound at numerous booths around the festival, which also featured standard fair food such as burgers, mozzarella sticks and soft pretzels. The apples all came from local New York farms such as Deer Run Farms Apple Orchard. Many organizations such as the Lafayette Lancers’ Yearbook offered apple-themed

treats, such as apple oatmeal cookies, apple popcorn and caramel apples in every variety. Other artisans at the fair sold a variety of products, including clothing, handmade soaps and blown-glass figurines. One stand was home to 1000 Islands River Rat Cheese, a cheese store from Clayton, NY. Stand worker Rachel Scudera said that River Rat had come all the way to Lafayette for the Apple Festival for nearly 20 years. “We offer New York state cheddar and fresh cheese curds,” Scudera said. “All our cheese comes from our factory near the store.”

keep an open mind and to stay curious. “That’s what I think our program is for. We help each other but we also look to help anyone else in the community, too,” Jacobs said. The Indigenous Peoples Day ceremony is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The event is sponsored by the Syracuse Peace Council and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation. SUNY-ESF will also host a celebration beginning at 11 a.m. on the ESF Quad. hrober03@syr.edu

The festival made changes to accommodate the crowds, placing stone on roadways to help walkers and adding an additional lane of traffic on Tully Farms Road to allow faster access to the festival fairgrounds. To people like Chapman, who have been at the fair for a long time, the changes will help more people understand the spirit of the Apple Festival. “We’ve been coming down here for almost 50 years now,” she said. “The more people who come down to try our cider and our apples, the better.” jinair@syr.edu

Firekeepers, a diner located off Exit 16 along Interstate 81, serves as classic diner fare for the Onondaga Nation and local passersby. The diner offers American classics such as burgers, meatloaf and pies, but they also cater to Nation locals with specials such as venison stew. hieu nguyen asst. photo editor

Food F for thought

By Nathan Abrams staff writer

Onondaga Nation diner caters to local residents, I-81 travelers

irekeepers Restaurant is located off exit 16 on Interstate 81, where South Salina Street ends and becomes Route 11. The restaurant serves a variety of homemade, classic American diner fare, including burgers, meatloaf and pies, as well as a rotating lineup of popular specials throughout the week, such as Friday fish fries and a weekend breakfast buffet. The restaurant is owned by the Onondaga Nation, but visitors might not realize it from looking at the menu. If you’re surprised at the lack of “traditional” native foods offered, you’re not alone. Theresa Homer, manager at Firekeepers, said both native and non-native customers expect these things to be available. “Some of the non-native customers, when they would come in, they were all like, ‘Oh my god, I’m shocked that you guys don’t have more traditional foods on your menu,’” Homer said. Even native customers, Homer said, will come in and be confused as to why they don’t serve staples such as corn soup. Gabrielle Hill is Tonawanda Seneca, and has worked at Firekeepers for almost three years. She said that when she first started, she also expected the menu to include Haudenosaunee foods. “That was one of my first things, wondering whether we sell frybread or anything else along those lines,” Hill said. Over the years, the restaurant has done various traditional food specials, but found that their largely non-native customer base was unfamiliar and unwilling to try them. “Once in a great while we’ll run a hot scone and corn soup special, sometimes we’ll do Indian tacos,” Homer said. “And yeah, they sell, but then sometimes they don’t sell. Because a lot of customers that come in, they’re like, ‘Corn soup, what’s that?’” When Firekeepers was serving corn soup, they would make it the traditional way, cooking and hulling Iroquois

white corn over a time and labor-intensive process. “One of the ladies that used to make the soup before, she used to start it the day before and cook it halfway and then finish it the following day,” Homer said. “It’s not because there’s no interest for it, it’s just because of how long it takes.” The restaurant does still make traditional foods, but only on request for different events they’ve catered around Onondaga territory. They’ve catered at the Onondaga Nation School, fire barn and lacrosse arena, serving traditional foods like venison stew. “It’s nice to get out of the restaurant and actually go and do something in the community,” Homer said. Regina Jones, a lifelong resident of the Onondaga Nation, has had her children and grandchildren work at Firekeepers. Jones said that she and many others view the restaurant as a positive contribution to the community. Jones said revenue from Firekeepers has been used by the Onondaga Nation to fund initiatives such as caretaking for elders, building homes and a youth summer program. As big a fan of Firekeepers, Jones said she does wish their menu included more traditional foods. For Jones, she said the answer to accomplishing this goal lies in their connection to the Onondaga Nation. “What I do think they should do is maybe sell more venison and buffalo,” Jones said. “I mean (the Onondaga Nation) has a herd of buffalo, why aren’t we having that at the diner?” Because of its location, Firekeepers serves two distinct functions. On one hand, they serve as a highway diner, catering to the travelers and regulars who expect a burger, fries, friendly service and a slice of pie to top it off. But on the other, they also have the ability to support and bring traditional indigenous foods to their community. As the business continues, Homer feels that they are able to accomplish both. “We’re all proud that we work on the nation,” Homer said. “We’re showing what we can do up here.” ngabrams@syr.edu

roundtable defenses. All of those have allowed big runs. So to put it simply, it’s hard to believe a bye week solves Syracuse’s run defense woes. As Babers has said, one of the biggest issues lies in Syracuse’s tackling. The Orange have been out of position, but once recovered, haven’t finished the play on first contact. Until the tackling improves, the long runs remain.

Has the lack of a clear No. 1 wide receiver, like Amba Etta-Tawo or Steve Ishmael, hurt the Orange? from page 12

girard iii Michigan and Syracuse. Girard Jr. said that he thinks his son has narrowed it down to two or three schools in his mind, but Girard III said all six schools remain in consideration. Girard III plans to decide by Oct. 14 so he can focus on the football sectional playoffs, which start on Oct. 20. “Coach Chambers and Penn State are on the right track right now,” Girard III said. “My motto is always to be different, and I can boost them to the next level from the NIT to the NCAA tournament.” Michigan head coach John Beilein, who coached Girard Jr. at Le Moyne, is a famfrom page 12

second half scored a textbook penalty corner goal. Peyton Kemp earned a corner with a little over a minute to go. Weers scored with a flick into the corner of the goal. After Syracuse was outshot 5-2 in the first half, the scoreboard read 1-0 in favor of SU. Quickly out of the break, Gutsche doubled the lead with a backhand top-shelf finish. Moments earlier, she turned and looked for teammates, but there were none there. She wound up a backhand shot, and let loose a shot into the top corner. She threw both of her hands

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

A.G.: In terms of overall production, yes. Through six games last season, SU had 1950 passing yards. This year, through six games, it’s 1426. That’s a pretty marked drop. As far as the route tree, Syracuse has really gotten away from taking shots downfield this season. With little receivers like Sean Riley and Nykeim Johnson thriving in space on the edges, shots downfield to Jamal Custis and Devin Butler have dried up. Notably, Taj Harris has emerged as a target of late, setting a career high in catches against Clemson. He looked good on intermediate routes against Pitt and perhaps could develop into SU’s deep threat. M.L.: It has hurt the Orange in terms of netting

the long ball, but I really don’t think it has hurt the team’s production. If anything, I think it might have helped. It means that more people have to step up on the field to produce offensively and the unit as a whole has. Last year the entire passing game was centered around Ishmael and Ervin Phillips. The year before it was just EttaTawo. Now, with Jamal Custis, Sean Riley, Devin Butler, Nykeim Johnson and Taj Harris, you never know where the ball is going. The Orange are putting up good offensive numbers this season. Their lowest-scoring output was 23 against Clemson. Offense isn’t the problem, defense is. J.S.: The lack of a true No. 1 wide receiver has hurt the Orange in the deep passing game.

Against Pittsburgh, Eric Dungey threw for less than 200 yards on 38 attempts. Syracuse isn’t capable of throwing down the field like it was the past two years with 1000-yard catchers. In times like yesterday’s overtime, having a go-to wideout pays dividends and could’ve diversified the offense from bubble screens and other quick hitting routes. But it’s hard to say how much the lack of a No. 1 wide receiver really plays into Syracuse’s recent struggles. Scoring 37 points should be enough to win any football game. Other holes, particularly on defense, are much more glaring issues for SU moving forward.

ily friend. Girard Jr. played from 1990-1994, and tallied the fourth-most three-pointers in school history, with 695. “I don’t know if it’s still true,” Girard Jr. said. “But shooting was the one thing where I would always get him. He’s better at everything else.” In high school, Girard III plays on the ball for the entire game. In college, he’s expecting that to be different. Beilein, Boeheim, and Duke head coach Krzyzewski all told him he’ll be used as a combo guard. “I want to play right in the beginning obviously, but you have to think of your fit, of academics, who’s around you,” Girard III said. Girard III has taken two official visits, Syracuse and Boston College, because he wanted a second look at both schools.

Basketball season starts in December, but for now, Girard III is focused on football. On Saturday, he showed why he’s also a Division I recruit on the gridiron. He quarterbacked a shorthanded Indians’ offense, pioneering four touchdowns on the first five drives in an eventual 55-27 loss to Burnt Hills. Girard III’s father said that Penn State also wanted him to throw in front of their football coaching staff, though Girard III said he only wants to play basketball in college. Midway through the second quarter of Saturday’s game, two Burnt Hills defenders had a free rush to Girard III. He juked both of them and rolled to his left and throwing an off-balance 35-yard strike on 3rd and 10. Early in the second quarter, Girard III made

a tackle down near the goal line that caused the receiver to flip in the air. Girard III, though, took a knee to the ribs and stayed down. He walked gingerly to the sideline, but remained in the game when the offense came back on the field. “As long as it’s not a knee,” his father said. It wasn’t a knee, but Girard III played through pain, and he eventually exited the game because the result was decided. He said he’s not worried about getting injured any time he steps on the field. “I’ve always been taught that,” Girard III said. “If you go out there thinking you might get hurt, that’s when it happens.” As he walked off the field, the Burnt Hills student section chanted: “JG3!, JG3!, JG3!”

in the air and cheered. Syracuse’s first two-goal lead in five games didn’t last. A counter-attack gave the Golden Bears an odd-man rush, and Megan Rodgers fired a shot in the air. It was headed slowly towards the goal when California’s Melina Moore swatted the ball into the net. Two minutes later, Cal earned another penalty corner and forced a save from goalie Borg van der Velde. The chaotic chase for the rebound found the foot of an SU player, leading to another corner. That corner leveled the match. California scored its first goal while Claire

Webb served her yellow card penalty, and the Golden Bears finished their second goal moments after she re-entered. Bradley shouted for SU to win a corner the next time it re-entered the circle, and it did. The Orange went to its favorite routine. Hoffmann inserted, Weers corralled the ball and shot. This time, California goalie Natalie Dalton was up to the challenge. She made the save, but the rebound spilled directly in front of goal. As the Orange practice every day, Gutsche slid the rebound past Dalton for her second goal. The game was tied for two minutes and 32 seconds. Syracuse added an insurance goal later in

the half, an almost exact replica of the third goal. The Orange earned a corner. Yet again, California couldn’t clear. Sophomore Claire Cooke, after scoring her first collegiate goal on Friday, poked the ball past Dalton with her arm outstretched. She came to the bench one minute later to be subbed off. Bradley put her arm around the sophomore and smiled. Sunday, the Orange didn’t need extra time, a relief for their head coach. “It’s good for Ange’s blood pressure,” Weers said. Bradley added: “My doctor thanks them.”

STOPPING THE RUN Roundtable: Syracuse loses two games headed into bye week

Syracuse enters its bye week after two consecutive losses to conference opponents, Clemson and Pitt. Both losses came on the road and were decided in the last quarter of each game. Prior to the two-week road trip, SU opened the season 4-0. colin davy staff photographer

By The Daily Orange Sports Staff

or the first time since 1991, Syracuse football started its season 4-0. But since then, the Orange (4-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) have lost two straight games headed into their lone bye week of the season. Below, The Daily Orange football beat writers answer three questions surrounding the team following its recent skid.

Will Syracuse suffer the same fate it has in each of the past two seasons?

Andrew Graham: Nope. This week’s loss was particularly disheartening because of how badly Pitt’s top-two backs bashed the front seven, but a bye week to get healthier and rested comes at a perfect time. With a couple very winnable games — North Carolina and yes, Louisville — still on the schedule, Syracuse should still reach the six-win threshold without any trouble. Considering the other matchups — at Wake Forest, North Carolina State at home, then at Notre Dame and Boston College — there might be one or two more wins in there. If Syracuse figures out its run defense, eight or nine wins still doesn’t seem ridiculous, but that feels like a big ‘if’ right now. Matt Liberman: Definitely not. The past two weekends were very deflating for Syracuse, which is why the bye week comes at the perfect time. It gives the team a chance to rest, nix any of those “owies,” as head coach Dino Babers

likes to call them, and to hone in on what it must do moving forward. After the bye week, Syracuse has a very favorable schedule in its next four games. Louisville and North Carolina are both home games that should come as relatively easy wins based on the way both teams have played this season. Plus, Wake Forest on the road is certainly not out of the question. The Demon Deacons lost by 60 on Saturday to Clemson. I’d still expect seven wins from SU. Josh Schafer: Syracuse will still make a bowl game. With six games remaining and only two wins needed, the Orange are still in good position, especially considering their schedule, which includes home matchups with North Carolina and Louisville — both sub-.500 teams. Syracuse led the No. 3 team in the country on the road for nearly the entire game and dismantled Florida State at home. Those aren’t things it did in years past. An improved pass defense, which ranks 11th in the nation in sacks, has helped Syracuse prevent opponents from establishing a consistent passing attack. If the defense can limit opponents’ big gain plays, Syracuse will get its two wins.

Is there anything Syracuse can do to solve its run defense woes, or will big runs continue to hurt the Orange? A.G.: Clemson’s Travis Etienne and Pitt’s Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall bulldozed through the Orange’s defense the past two weeks, simply because when Syracuse had

first opportunities to get them down, they didn’t. After Saturday’s game, Babers said he didn’t want to say anything negative about his players but followed that up by saying: “It’s a matter of getting guys down.” If that doesn’t start happening, I don’t see another obvious fix or improvement in SU’s run defense. With the bye week ahead, now is a great time to spend a week trying to fix the tackling woes that have bit Syracuse in back-to-back weeks. M.L.: Simply hope that suddenly players are able to make tackles at the line of scrimmage. Syracuse does not substitute out its linebackers at all, which means the core three of Andrew Armstrong, Ryan Guthrie and Kielan Whitner are there for the long run. Watching the way that the linebackers and the secondary personnel attempt to tackle some big running backs like Qadree Ollison and Travis Etienne, I don’t see any major changes moving forward that will correct the problems. Many of these players are taking terrible angles, trying to meet players head on and then just getting run over. This is something that will take a year to fix, not two weeks. J.S.: It’s hard to imagine a personnel change at this point in the season. Andrew Armstrong, Ryan Guthrie and Kielan Whitner have taken nearly every snap this season at the three linebacker positions.

basketball recruiting

Girard III to commit this week 2nd half leads Orange to 4-2 win over Cal By Anthony Dabbundo staff writer

BURNT HILLS — Joseph Girard III’s college search has entered the final week. On Thursday, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim and assistant Gerry McNamara traveled to Glens Falls to give a GIRARD III final pitch to Girard III. They arrived Thursday afternoon, watched the end of Girard III’s football practice and

then sat down with the basketball recruit and his parents. They sat around a table, where Girard III asked questions about his fit in the program and what their plans for him are. He said that McNamara highlighted Syracuse’s ability to develop combo guards, like McNamara himself, who was a four-year starter at SU from 2002-2006. Thursday’s visit was McNamara’s second to Glens Falls in six days. He also attended Girard III’s senior night on Sept. 28. Girard III is the all-time leading scorer in New York state high school basketball history, has been a fiveyear varsity starter at Glens Falls.

He first received interest in the eighth grade, when he scored 31 points and hit a game-winning shot in his first high school game against Fonda. Girard III announced he’d received an offer from Syracuse on Feb. 2. And SU isn’t the only school closely following Girard III. Four members of Penn State’s coaching staff, including head coach Pat Chambers, visited Girard III three weeks ago. Boston College head coach Jim Christian has visited Girard III this fall as well. Girard III has narrowed his final list to six schools: Penn State, Notre Dame, Boston College, Duke, see girard

As a California shot deflected into the Syracuse goal, leveling the match at two, it appeared Syracuse was headed to its fourth straight overtime at J.S. Coyne Stadium. SU head coach Ange Bradley called timeout, she said, to settle down her team. She wanted to avoid overtime. “I think it refocused us,” Bradley said. “It reminded us of our key points. We had some cards that we had to reorganize and sort out.”

After taking a two goal lead early in the second half, the Orange’s advantage vanished in four minutes. Cal tied the game, until Chiara Gutsche put the Orange ahead for good, saving No. 13 Syracuse (8-4, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) in a 4-2 win over California (3-8, 0-1 America East) Sunday. “We wanted to start with a fresh start in October and we’re 2-0,” senior Roos Weers said. “We lost control today but we need to stay focused and stay tuned in going forward.” Just before halftime, Syracuse see second
