SAFETY CHECK SU’s annual campus security report shows a drop in alcohol referrals, rise in drug referrals

Exposed lead paint found off campus

In a city where the housing stock is aging, lead paint may be hidden under layers of paint. Though it may become exposed, it’s not currently considered a code violation in Syracuse.

The Daily Orange tested more than 30 homes in the University Neighborhood for exposed lead paint.

About one-third tested positive.

Landlords in New York state are required to inform prospective tenants of any known lead paint hazards, but they are not required to conduct new assessments, according to the New York Attorney General’s website. Landlords also aren’t required to test for lead paint or allow prospective tenants to conduct testing prior to renting.

yracuse University’s annual security report shows a decrease in reported rapes from last year and an increase in burglaries on SU’s campus.

The report, released last week, showed 10 reported rapes on campus in 2018. This figure is down from 13 reports the previous year.

Some SU students have raised concerns about the data collection and whether it accurately reflects students’ experiences, especially with sexual assault and hate and bias incidents. The 2019 report shows two incidents of hate or bias in 2018.

According to the Rape and Incest National Network, more than 23% of female college student experience sexual assault on campus. Of that number, 80% of female victims did not report their experience to authorities.

“You can look at any national survey or statistic or any data that we have in the field of sexual assault and relationship violence work, and you know that this issue is more prevelant than the reports,” said Rosenblum, who was appointed to the chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence.

Colleges and universities that receive federal funding are mandated to publish a security report by Oct. 1 every year under the Jeanne

Clery Act. The U.S. Department of Education requires three years of statistics and other security information to be included in a report.

DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado said in a statement to The Daily Orange that the department hasn’t changed the way it reports sexual assaults to the Department of Education. He noted that it’s not uncommon for Clery Act statistics to vary from year to year.

“The University has also worked diligently to ensure that faculty, staff and students are provided with sexual harassment prevention training to safeguard that we are not only creating an environment that is free of harassment, but that we are promptly addressing and deterring inappropriate conduct,” Maldonado said.

In SU’s spring 2018 survey on sexual assault and relationship violence, about 111 of 479 respondents said they had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact on campus. Around 188 of 480 respondents said they had a friend tell them of experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact. see crime page 4

Coworking spaces open in city

By Natalie Rubio-Licht asst. digital editor

From the outside, Echo looks like any other house in the Westcott neighborhood. But inside, funky music plays as people move around the space, working diligently and socializing.

Echo is a coworking space — one of the few in Syracuse and the only one in the Westcott neighborhood.

Syracuse’s coworking industry, however, has begun to grow in recent years. Since 2012, multiple spaces have opened in the city.

In a coworking space, people work independently in a shared, sometimes temporary office. In 2018, an estimated 991 coworking spaces opened in the U.S., according to Coworking Resources.

Echo began as a design collective and later opened its office to coworking, said Damian Vallelonga, marketing consultant and graphic designer. The space moved to Westcott from North Salina Street in 2017. The space’s first location was meant for more see coworking page 6

Experts detail effects of climate change

By Abby Weiss staff writer

Heat stroke. Flooding. Agricultural devastation. Experts say residents in central New York have plenty to be concerned about when it comes to climate change.

Global temperatures are on track to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by 2100, according to a November 2018 announcement by the United Nations. In central New York, such temperature increases and climate shifts will affect both individual livelihoods and state functions, experts told The Daily Orange.

Extreme heat due to climate change will lead to increased health risks, including kidney disease, heat stroke and heart disease, said Ingrid Zabel, a curator at the New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse. Increasing night-

time temperatures can also cause heat illnesses, said Samantha Borisoff, a climatologist at the Northeast Regional Climate Center.

“Nighttime temperatures are really important for your body to rest and cool down, especially for those who work outside during the day,” she said. “With warmer temperatures overnight, your body doesn’t get a chance to get relief from the heat.”

Syracuse currently experiences 10 to 15 days in July and August with temperatures hotter than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. If human activity remains the same, that number will increase by an average of 56 days per year by 2100, according to the clearinghouse’s climate models.

Extended periods of heat will also damage central New York’s infrastructure, Zabel said. Materials with see climate page 6

Panelists discuss mental health experiences

By India Miraglia asst. news editor

Three Syracuse University panelists spoke about their experiences with identity and mental health at a discussion held Tuesday night by the Student Association.

Tuesday’s panel was part of SA’s fourth annual Mental Health Awareness Week. The purpose of the panel was to show how different people experience health in varying ways and to ensure that different voices are being heard in conversations on mental health, said Lujane Juburi, co-chair of SA’s Diversity Affairs Committee. She moderated the event.

Panelist Robin Maxile, a doctoral student and academic consultant in SU’s WellsLink Leadership Program, said mental health wasn’t talked about when she was growing up.

“It wasn’t until I was older, and I moved away that I really started to work on my mental health and realize that it’s okay to talk about it,” she said. “It’s okay to identify it, whatever it may be.”

Danielle Jones, a staff therapist and panelist, said supporting mental health requires collaboration, and there are many resources outside of counseling that people can utilize to facilitate wellness. To support her own mental health, Jones checks in with herself and her energy levels.

Participating in events like Tuesday’s panel also helps refuel her, she said.

“I care about these conversations,” Jones said.

People can also find little pockets of the day to do activities that support them, Jones said. Many people say there isn’t time to do that, but it’s important to try and make that time, said Jorge Castillo, assistant director of the LGBT Resource Center and panelist.

Panelists asked members of the audience to share what they did to support their own mental health. Tuesday’s audience consisted mainly of SA members.

Answers included writing, working out, going for a drive and thinking

through the previous day.

Mental Health Awareness Week began on Monday with various events on the Quad.

Games, informational stations, activities and free merchandise were offered. SA will also hold its second annual Stop the Stigma concert on Thursday.

This year’s event had a specific focus on intersectionality and promoting the resources offered by the Barnes Center at The Arch. SA is promoting different exercise classes offered at The Arch as well as holding meditation sessions on Wednesday at the center. irmiragl@syr.edu | @IndyRow

The School of Information Studies has entered a multi-year partnership with the city of Syracuse and Microsoft to explore technological and economic developments in the city, SU announced on Tuesday.

The collaboration will work to push Mayor Ben Walsh’s Syracuse Surge initiative forward and advance city goals in public safety, energy and job creation, according to an SU News release.

The Surge is a $200 million project that includes a series of initiatives meant to spark technological and economic growth throughout the city.

All three partners previously met at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. They discussed ways the collaboration can improve Syracuse’s services and quality of life while reinforcing the individual interests of the city, university and Microsoft.

SU students will gain career experience through the initiative, Arthur Thomas, associate dean for academic affairs at the iSchool, said in the release.

Multiple projects have already been explored through the collaboration in sectors including education and training and accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. In the next year, the partners will work on those projects and consider additional ideas.

Walsh unveiled his Surge initiative in his January 2019 “State of the City” address. Projects include renovating the nowdefunct Central Technical High School into the Southside Campus for the New Economy in downtown Syracuse. Much of the initiative is focused on redeveloping the southeast area of downtown.

The iSchool has worked with the city in the past through its iConsult Collaborative, meant to facilitate student experience through local technology projects. The collaborative previously developed a new website for the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office.

SU’s iSchool also has a Smart Grid Research Center that studies digital technologies in the electric grid.

The Autonomous Systems Policy Institute researches questions surrounding the development of drones and autonomous systems.

New York state invested $5 million to manage a drone corridor spanning from Syracuse to Rome, New York.

Microsoft has in the past recruited iSchool graduates and attended the school’s career fairs.

Jack Ryder, Microsoft’s chief financial officers in the Americas, is a Class of 1986 graduate and sits on the iSchool’s Board of Advisers. gkstern@syr.edu @gabestern326

Ostrom avenues, were randomly selected and tested. The test area extended to Clarendon Street to the north and just past Stratford Street to the south. That area contains about 250 homes.

Ten of the homes tested contained exposed lead paint, which was used to coat the interiors and exteriors of homes until 1978, when the federal government banned the commercial use of the product. About 91% of homes in Syracuse were built prior to 1980, according to the Census.

The homes that were found to have exposed lead paint were 620 Euclid Ave., 500 Clarendon Street, 719, 819, 831, 839 and 865 Ackerman Ave. and 815, 826 and 830 Sumner Ave. Of the homes that were tested, all but 831 Ackerman Ave. are tenant occupied.

The median age of the housing stock in the University Neighborhood dates to 1940, according to data from the city’s Department of Community Development. The University Neighborhood is bordered in part by Thornden Park to the north, Westcott Street to the east and Comstock Avenue to the west. The neighborhood has 945 housing units.

Lead paint is present in millions of homes but sometimes concealed by layers of nonlead-based paint, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The paint, which can be safe if in good condition or if covered, becomes hazardous when it begins to peel, chip, crack or otherwise deteriorate.

Meg McPherson, a Syracuse University senior who lives on the 800 block of Sumner Ave., and Lauren Perry, a senior at SUNY-ESF who lives on the 700 block of Ackerman Ave., were both unsure what the consequences were of having exposed lead paint in their homes.

Though lead paint is particularly harmful to children and pregnant women, adults who are exposed to lead can experience raised blood pressure and hypertension, reproductive problems and a decline in kidney function.

Exposure to lead can cause behavioral and learning problems in children and can also affect a pregnant woman’s developing fetus.

Lead found in areas of daily use that are prone to wear-and-tear, such as windows, door frames,

stairs and porches, can also be hazardous. The D.O. tested door frames, windows and entryways for lead. Exposed lead paint was found on seven door frames, two doors and one window.

A variety of university-area landlords own the properties that tested positive for exposed lead paint. Ben Tupper, owner of Rent from Ben, owns 839 Ackerman Ave. and 826 and 830 Sumner Ave. OPR Developers owns 815 Sumner Ave. and 819 Ackerman Ave., and John O. Williams Properties owns 865 Ackerman Ave. John Williams, Jr. owns 719 Ackerman Ave. Rent from Ben spent more than 500 hours this summer painting the interiors and exteriors of their properties to ensure they were clean and lead-free, Tupper said in an emailed statement.

“Our goal with our houses is to annually reapply coats of non-lead based paint on surfaces, both interior and exterior, to seal off the old paint and eliminate contact as is recommended by the EPA and other lead eradication entities,” he said.

Tupper said the three properties found to have exposed lead paint will be repainted by the end of the business day on Tuesday. None of Tupper’s 13,000 tenants have experienced or complained about lead-related symptoms.

“I would also remind everyone who grew up in a home built before 1970, like I did and most of my tenants did, that we all had this type of pre-1978 lead paint exposure our whole lives in our family homes, and it’s not something unique to Syracuse homes or Syracuse University dorms and buildings,” Tupper said.

D.N.Drucker Ltd. owns 620 Euclid Ave. Alan Poushter and his brothers own 500 Clarendon Street.

McPherson said her landlord has been helpful, stopping by to fix problems with the property within a day or two. Perry also said her landlord fixes problems anytime there are any.

Katherine Weeks, a junior architecture major, moved into her home on the 800 block of Sumner Avenue in the middle of August. Knowing the effects lead paint can have on small children and developing adults, she said having lead paint in her home is “concerning.”

A Rent from Ben employee told Tupper that a sealant primer was placed on the affected homes Tuesday, with a coat of exterior paint being applied Wednesday, Tupper said. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts

crime Of the respondents who said they had experienced unwanted sexual contact, 95% said they never reported their experience to an SU official.

“There are so many barriers for students to report, whether it’s cultural or systematic,” Rosenblum said. “The (reports) are definitely not accurate in terms of what students are experiencing on campus.”

Underreporting is also a problem with incidents of racial bias, said Natalia Rice, an SU senior and member of the DPS Student of Color Advisory Committee. The committee works with DPS to provide recommendations for student safety on campus.

The security report listed three incidents of hate or bias in 2018. Rice said this number does not reflect the reality of racial bias incidents on campus. Part of the problem, she said, is the way hate crimes and bias incidents are defined and catalogued.

The safety report defines a hate crime as an incident with motivation which “in whole or part,” can be attributed to prejudice based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin or disability.

The legal standards are often so restrictive that many instances of discrimination against students of color and other marginalized groups don’t get counted, Rice said.

She pointed to the assault of three students of color in February 2019 along Ackerman Avenue. The students were struck with what appeared to be a pistol, and a racial slur was used, according to victims who spoke at a campus forum after the incident.

The Syracuse Police Department, which investigated the incident, did not categorize it as a racially-motivated attack.

“How many incidents like Ackerman have happened that, because they don’t hit the ‘hate crime bias incident’ label, aren’t being put into those numbers?” Rice said.

Students also don’t always feel that it’s worthwhile to report hate crimes and bias incidents to university officials, Rice said.

As a STOP bias educator at SU, she’s had

interviews with students who said they didn’t report incidents of racial bias.

“Racially motivated incidents are more than just physical things that might happen,” Rice said. “A lot of psychological things happen on this campus, physical or mental exclusion … And the numbers aren’t reflecting that.”

In an SU campus climate survey conducted in 2015, 29% of black respondents and 24% of Latinx respondents said they had experienced “exclusionary, intimidating, offensive, and/or hostile conduct.” Of those people, 60% of black respondents and 72% of Latinx respondents said they believed the conduct was based on their race or ethnicity.

Kate Abogado, senior and co-chair of the DPS Student of Color Advisory Committee, said she wants to see the statistics on hate crimes and bias incidents accurately capture students’ experiences.

“The number of hate crimes should be zero,” Abogado said. “But also if they’re happening, and they’re not being documented, it should be more reflective … It should be zero in practice, and not just on paper.”

SU’s campus also saw a decrease in liquor violation referrals and reported rapes, along with an increase in reported burglaries and drug referrals in 2018.

Data showed 669 liquor referrals and disciplinary actions in 2018, down 35% from the year before. Meanwhile, drug referrals rose by around 42% in the same time period to a total of 264. Drug-related arrests on Main Campus dropped 78%.

“The University has worked hard to educate students and increase awareness on the risks of alcohol consumption,” Maldonado said.

In 2018, Main Campus and the surrounding neighborhood recorded 42 burglaries, up 31% from the previous year. Maldonado attributed the spike to a series of burglaries in 14 dorm rooms in two residence halls.

Lawrinson and Watson halls were burglarized in August 2018 after the fire alarms were pulled and students evacuated. At least three suspects were arrested the following month in connection with the burglaries. nrrubiol@syr.edu mdavison@syr.edu

A talk with Boeheim changed my mind about paying college athletes

E

arlier this month, I sat down with Syracuse men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim in his office at the Carmelo K. Anthony Center to discuss whether college athletes SAM deserve comBOVA pensation.

LOOKING FOR Before I A NSW ERS talked with Boeheim, I whole-heartedly supported the bill proposed by New York State Senator Kevin Parker that would require college athletic departments to give 15% of their annual revenue to student-athletes and allow them to sell the rights to their own names, images and other media.

But it’s not so simple.

It was late in the afternoon and I’d spent the previous half hour traversing campus in the pouring rain, sheltering the notes and questions I’d scribbled down that morning under my sweater. I had some very specific thoughts I wanted to discuss with Boeheim based upon what little I knew on the subject.

I was fortunate, then, that Boeheim seemed to foretell my lack of understanding. He jumped right into the nuances and intricacies of paying college athletes that I never would have considered.

Boeheim began by reflecting on a conversation he had with NBA legend and current “Inside the NBA” analyst Charles Barkley.

“I was with Charles Barkley the other night and he made a great point,” Boeheim said. “If you’re at Alabama, then you’ll get money. You’ll do a commercial or something. So who’s going to get the commercial? The quarterback, the point guard, running back. Maybe they get a $50,000 commercial, just throwing that out there. What’s the tackle say? What’s the guard say?”

I answered. “Where’s my money?”

“Where’s my money?”

Boeheim repeated. “I think they’re gonna do that. It has unintended consequences.”

The dilemma lies in equity: Who’s to say what each individual athlete deserves compared to their peers from an entirely different sport or school? If I’m a member of the fencing team who puts just as much time and hard work into my workout regimen as a basketball player does, shouldn’t I also be cut a salary for my labor?

People often trivialize sports, but for many athletes, their endeavors mean more than throwing a ball into a hoop or poking someone else with a stick. The war of an athlete is an internal one waged against history, against injustice, against failure, against

circumstance and against dearth of opportunity.

It’s not a question of whether or not college athletes deserve to be paid.

They do. The feasibility of making that happen is where it gets tricky.

I later asked Boeheim who profits from the athletic department’s revenue.

“We break even,” Boeheim said.

“We — you have to understand, our budget is a couple million dollars, and women’s basketball is a couple million dollars, the same. We have 13 scholarships we have to pay for. They have 15. So all of that money, where does it come from? They don’t make any money, so that comes from us.”

Boeheim said that the most bankable sports fund all of SU’s other programs.

“If you just had basketball and football as your only two sports, you could say, oh yeah, there’s extra money here, we’re making money, let’s give it back,” Boeheim said. “It’s not like that. But that’s what everybody says. They say you’re making all this money, but it isn’t. There is no profit.”

Even with a lucrative athletic program, SU has to rely on the revenue from its top two sports to keep other programs afloat. If schools started paying college athletes directly, the discrepancies between what schools can afford for their athletic departments from campus to campus would widen.

Not only that, but schools with the most merchandisable athletes would be given an advantage in recruiting, which Boeheim pointed out.

There’s no way you can pay players. I don’t think there’s any way you could possibly pay players.

Jim Boeheim su men’s basketball head coach

“In recruiting there’s always some things going on, you know, behind the scenes,” Boeheim said.

“People do this or that. It’s been proven. We don’t. But it’s very tempting if I’m in there with a great kid to say ‘well my friend has this business and he’ll give you this commercial for $50,000.’ That can happen, happens.”

Boeheim emphasized that most people just aren’t aware of how much student athletes are actually getting.

“But what people don’t know — let me ask you,” Boeheim said. “How much does a basketball player get at Syracuse right now? What’s he get?”

In a 40-minute interview with a liberal columnist, Syracuse men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim explained why he doesn’t think it is possible to pay college athletes. daily orange file photo

I said $74,000, the rough cost of attendance at Syracuse that a scholarship would cover.

“In the neighborhood — that’s what you think, and that’s what everybody thinks,” Boeheim said.

“But it’s not. Every one of our players — because we can feed them breakfast, they can go over to the snack area there and get a salad and wrap during the day, then we feed them after practice — every one of our players takes his board in cash and his cost of attendance. How much you think that is?”

I took a second to think. “Probably another…”

He finished the thought. “$1,400 a month.”

Boeheim said he didn’t realize much players got that much until his son who plays for the team received the check.

“You get a check for $1,400 each month and you have to buy your food out of that. But we give you two or three meals a day. So, now, if you’re a needs student who I worry about more, you get a Pell Grant for $5,000. So now if you’re a needs student, you get $2,000 a month, plus your tuition.”

“Is there a specific place that’s supposed to go, the $2,000?” I asked.

“In your pocket,” he replied.

That surprised me. “Just for whatever you want?”

“For whatever you want,” Boeheim said. “We have to train our players. Too many times they go out and buy the video games, the sneak-

ers, you know. My point, my only point is, student athletes are getting a lot more now. It used to be when I was in school, you got a scholarship and you ate in the dorms, and if you were late, you didn’t get to eat in the dorms. So if you didn’t, you had to pay your own food. So now we feed them and they get money. So it’s a lot better now, and we’re trying to improve that as much as we can.

That’s what we’re pushing for.”

Syracuse, and other schools of comparable budgets and sizes, may be able to afford these unique grants and programs, but we have to think about what each school individually can manage. It would be impossible to have a set standard for what every school in every state has to give their players. That would get out of control.

It has to be on the shoulders of each individual university to treat their student-athletes not only as elite athletes, but also as people with stories and struggles.

Those improvements need to happen on a case-by-case basis.

Whether it be on the court, field, ice or in the water, these performers are more than athletes. They toil, they grow, they learn discipline. There are matters of the soul that sports provide which are intrinsically valuable and that money will never be able to furnish.

I was an athlete growing up — if that term isn’t exclusive to people who are actually athletic — and I can account for the life lessons that sports provide. But it’s also

Student athletes deserve a share of the massive amounts of revenue they produce, whether it be directly through ticket sales, through donor support or through the use of their names, images and other media.

Despite spending, the numbers show that there is money for us to put in player’s pockets.

Boeheim brought up his own paycheck as an example of a place SU spends a considerable amount of money. Boeheim said he’s happy to be paid, but he did acknowledge that the system works heavily in his favor.

“The one bad thing is coaches make a lot of money,” Boeheim said.

“When I started I made $25,000.

But things changed. The way the system works — capitalism — if you do well, you get paid.”

Money and power always tip in one direction. But we can make strides in college sports to tip them in the right direction: toward the human beings whose blood, sweat and tears are offered up on that stage so that the rest of us might believe in the conquer-ability of our circumstances and the creation that is found in our failures.

coworking artists and creatives. Its new location serves those who work from home near the neighborhood, he said.

“It’s open to people that want to get out of the house and be among like-minded professionals who are looking for a productive space but also a lightly social space,” Vallelonga said.

“That’s the mix that we’re trying to make.”

One of the first coworking companies in the city was Syracuse CoWorks, a nonprofit that started in 2012. Syracuse CoWorks has moved spaces three times since then, most recently to South Clinton Street on Oct. 1. Dallas Bryson, a mischief manager at Syracuse CoWorks, said the space was created “by coworkers, for coworkers.”

“It was started by a group of small business owners in Syracuse who needed that resource because the city didn’t have it,” Bryson said.

Most coworking spaces have their own niche and serve different communities, Bryson said. Until recent years, Syracuse CoWorks was the only coworking space in the city. This made it difficult for the space to cater to every member’s needs, she said.

climate certain heat tolerances such as road asphalt, electric cables and metal poles will start to break down. Heavy rain caused by climate change will lead to more flooding, which will devastate numerous houses, businesses and overall livelihoods, she said.

Central New York is already experiencing massive floods, Zabel said. A 2018 flash flood in the Finger Lakes in northwestern New York flooded homes of residents from over 14 counties.

Most of this damage will come from flooding in coastal areas such as Long Island and New York City. However, flooding impacts all New York state residents because their taxes and insurance rates pay for the damage, Zabel said.

lack of interest by investors, according to The New York Times. WeWork coworking spaces are in 125 cities worldwide.

Bryson said that WeWork’s recent upset shows that coworking businesses should be tailored to communities. They should not be “mass produced.”

“Every community is going to be different, and I think ideally, coworking spaces are small and unique by nature so that they can serve different communities,” Bryson said.

At Echo, some members are creatives, but they all work in different fields, Vallelonga said. One member is an environmental researcher, and one is an architecture professor at Syracuse University. Another member is a guitar teacher who holds lessons in a private room within the space.

Alec Sessa, a space manager at ShareCuse, said coworking gives people increased opportunities to network. ShareCuse opened at the start of September on Harrison Street.

“If you sign up for a space with 60 members, you get to talk to 60 new people that you didn’t know before,” Sessa said. “You can make money and do business with people that you just met.”

Technology is the most common industry in coworking spaces, Sessa said. MedTech, a trade association of pharmaceutical, biotech and medical technology companies, is an “In central New York, we are far away from the ocean, so why would we care? Because it does affect us financially,” she said. “Everyone is going to pay to protect the people on the coast.”

Economically disadvantaged residents are the most vulnerable to damage from flooding, said Justin Hartnett, a visiting professor at SUNY Oneonta. The residents purchase less expensive property near floodplains and cannot afford the infrastructure necessary to control flooding, he said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will eventually be unable to provide enough relief to the damaged communities.

Silje Kristiansen, assistant professor at SUNY-ESF, said even if the state does not experience many effects right away, other areas of the country will become uninhabitable.

Eventually, New York will see a mass influx of

“anchor” client of ShareCuse, he said.

Even though Syracuse is a smaller city, coworking was bound to grow, Vallelonga said.

The city had a population of 143,396 in 2017, according to census data. Coworking spaces can thrive in small cities because they are

more accessible for small business owners than they would be in larger cities, he said.

“Coworking in general has become a standard offering in every city,” Vallelonga said.

“It’d be odd to find a city that didn’t have it.”

climate refugees the state won’t have room for.

“People lose their homes. They can’t grow food. There’s no access to food. They have to move. There will be masses of people moving,” she said. “This will cause a political issue they will have to deal with.”

By the year 2100, New York’s climate will be the same as Mississippi’s today in terms of temperature and precipitation, Hartnett said.

Central New York is already experiencing a slight decline in the number of snowstorms and shorter winters, he said.

“Snow is livelihood for many people. Many construction workers when they get laid off at the end of summer plow the snow in the winter,” he said. Changing winters will also devastate New York agriculture because many crops, including apples, need a sustainable winter to insulate roots and grow during harvest time, Hartnett

said. The longer periods of warm weather can also increase populations of pests such as ticks.

Scientists are neither certain about the severity of climate change’s impacts nor if humans will be able to reverse them in time, Hartnett said. This means that residents should take action against climate change, he said.

The United Nations held a Climate Action Summit on Sept. 23 to discuss potential pathways and actions to respond to climate change and its impact on countries around the world.

Cities worldwide, including Syracuse, held a Global Climate Strike days earlier to support the end of fossil fuels and the younger generation leading climate strikes.

“The Earth has never seen something like this before,” Hartnett said. “It’s a dangerous game to play.”

Instead of working for major companies for their School of Information Studies capstones, four seniors — Steven Koestler, Lauren Faerman, Kristen Baumer and Peter Marlo — decided to work with the organization to give back to the city where they’ve gone to school for the past three years.

Through their capstone, they are aiming to become a liaison between Hopeprint and the Syracuse University campus. Hopeprint’s vision is to create a vibrant, integrated city where refu-

gees can thrive, Baumer said. A part of their mission is to help resettle refugee communities in neighborhoods, she added.

While the population in Syracuse fluctuates, Koestler said that refugees are increasingly calling Syracuse their permanent home.

“We’ve got so many people that are leaving the city to move elsewhere, these are the only people that really moving in,” Koestler said.

The iSchool students are currently doing an outreach campaign to educate the campus about what Hopeprint is, Baumer said. They are also running a fundraising campaign titled #MyHopeprint.

They are trying to raise $5,000, a third of Hopeprint’s $15,000 fundraising goal for this season. Baumer said that they are in the works to start an iSchool specific club with Hopeprint to help refugees develop skills with technology and creating professional careers. see hopeprint page 8

slice of life

SU alumnus produces documentary about family history

By Mateo Estling staff writer

It was during Tyler Gildin’s great aunt’s funeral when his grandfather, Herb Gildin, talked about the time he and his sisters escaped Nazi Germany to Sweden. Partly because Gildin rarely heard stories about his grandfather’s upbringing, it provoked his want to learn more. And he did.

“The Starfish,” a documentary directed and produced by Gildin, a Syracuse University alumnus, will show at the Syracuse International Film Festival at the Bill & Penny Allyn Theatre on Sunday at 1 p.m. The film centers around Herb and his sisters, who escaped Nazi persecution during the

1930s with the help of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

Herb grew up in a Jewish family in Landsberg, Germany. He and his sisters fled the country to live with their non-Jewish family in Sweden because of Nazi occupation. Herb and his sisters were separated from their parents for around two years until they sought refuge and reunited in the United States.

Growing up, Gildin said he didn’t know a lot of these details about his grandfather’s upbringing. This was also apparent in how little his grandfather talked about his family.

“It’s something that he kept to himself most of his life,” Gildin said. “And it’s something that we address from his children’s point of view in the piece.”

It was after hearing the story at the funeral when Gildin became inspired to create a documentary about his grandfather’s life.

“It was a bit of a challenge for him to open up, but once he did it was really interesting,” Gildin said.

But Gildin wasn’t the only family member who wanted to preserve Herb’s stories. His cousin, Alex Utay, also worked as the producer and musical contributor for the film.

Originally, Utay recorded on an iPad with the grandparents sitting and answering questions, he said. The video, in effect, had a very amateur, mediocre feel to it. But after Gildin heard about the clips, he wanted to pursue it see documentary page 8

hopeprint All SU students will be welcome to join the club, she added.

Faerman said Hopeprint is about helping the refugees “thrive in the Syracuse community.”

Their ideas also include creating additional after-school programs with the kids involving technology or doing professional development workshops with the older refugees that will teach skills like creating a resume, Baumer said.

Hopeprint has three residential homes where it hosts dinners as well as outreach events where they connect to community leaders, Koestler said. The program also includes tutoring for kids, among other activities, Baumer said.

The organization has the support of local businesses. But up to this point, it has not reached out to the university. As a result, the campus doesn’t really know about the project, Baumer said.

Because SU students don’t typically stay in Syracuse long term, seniors don’t typically work with the refugees directly or develop connections with them, Koestler said. He added that because they aren’t going to be here in a couple months, they’re hoping to aim the club at younger SU students.

“The people will be gone but there will be groups, going consistently,” Koestler said.

“This isn’t going to go away. This is permanent, Syracuse University has sponsored this and we’re going to keep sending people.”

said. Nicole Watts, the founder of the organization, walked the women who volunteer from SU around one of the houses and showed them where they have “family dinners.”

How Hopeprint runs its program with the iSchool is by separating the women and men into different groups and each group visits the houses on separate days.

“But that’s really all of our individual exposure with the refugees that we have. We don’t volunteer every week and work with them,” Baumer said.

All the iSchool project members said that they are happy that they are able to give back to the Syracuse community after spending three years at SU. Marlo said

working with Hopeprint for his Capstone was a “no-brainer.”

“These people aren’t going to stop coming here, so it benefits everyone if the community’s made tighter. This is our town for four years, it should be the best town that you can make it,” Koestler said.

story,” Utay said.

Along from the stories he got from Herb, Gildin also heard recounts from his father and other family members who survived the Nazi persecution. Gildin said his great aunt’s immediate family was especially helpful in breaking down the story of how they came to the U.S. Animation was used to help illustrate their story instead of just using archival

footage and standard interviews. Gildin said animation was used as an aid to allow audience members to better understand the family’s experience.

Gildin said that he hopes that throughout all this, the audience will be able to see the qualities in a story that are so close to his own life.

“It’s a personal story to me, obviously,” he said, “but it’s a story that a lot of people can

identify with it as human beings.”

Gildin said he thinks that the film leaves a good reflection on his grandfather and that it will be a shining light to show his legacy. While Herb passed away in May, Gildin said he was able to see the completed piece while attending the world premiere in Miami.

“I was very thankful for that,” he said.

Telepathic Moon Dance to perform at Funk ‘n Waffles

By Max Kalnitz

A

fter playing in bands for more than 20 years, Walker Adams wanted to reset and start a project that represented the best qualities music can bring out in people.

The 36-year-old drummer graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston and mulled around New York City for more than a decade before starting Telepathic Moon Dance, an instrumental jam funk band, last year.

“Everyone progresses on their own journey and finds different times in their life to do their original music,” Adams said. “Luckily, I’ve found a lot of support for this music in the Hudson Valley, so it all came together.

We’re young at heart and happy to hit the road.”

Fresh off the release of its debut album “Desirer” in June, the band is looking to spread its deep grooves and uplifting melodies across the country, said sax player Steven Frieder. This includes a tour stop at Funk ‘n Waffles on Oct. 15. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m.

The band, spearheaded by Adams on drums, is a groovy mix of contemporary jam bands like Snarky Puppy and Phish fused with the influence of legends like Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis, Adams said. The lineup changes each show and will feature Sam Smith on bass and Frieder on sax at the waffle joint.

A portion of the band’s set list will be comprised of the five songs off its album, but the band also improvises and will play some unreleased material. Adams said the band’s goal is to capture the positive spirit of people dancing and vibing to music in every one of its songs.

“Telepathic Moon Dance came to me because the best concert experience is when it’s a beautiful night and the moon is out, you’re dancing to your favorite band, your friends are around; just that feeling of everything is perfect,” Adams said.

The band’s formation is a testament to Adams’ belief that playing good music will put out good energy and attract the right people.

Frieder was playing gigs at the Newburgh Illuminated Festival last year when Adams walked up to him on the street. He noticed Frieder was carrying a sax and, in need of a sax player, asked him to sit in on his gig later that day.

Initially, Frieder said he thought Adams was a little weird, but he thought he might be a good drummer. When Frieder found out that there would be a guitar player at the gig, he decided to sit in.

“The whole place was packed, I pulled out my horn and it was like love at first sight. We played the whole set and it was just jam city,” Frieder said. “I haven’t had many moments meeting musicians like that, so it was a special thing.”

Smith knew the two for years and had played gigs with both of them separately. When Adams moved to Newburgh a year-and-a-half ago, Smith started playing with him again and officially joined the band six months ago.

Bringing live bass to the band has helped the band

expand potential during live performances, Smith said, especially during improvisation. This forces band members to be on the edge of their seats waiting for a time change or solo.

Telepathic Moon Dance is also heavily influenced by Adams’ childhood growing up in Vermont. Though the band now uses supplementary electronic beats to make up for missing members, Adams said growing up among the Green Mountains helped him steer clear of music that felt “artificial,” including much of the hip-hop on the radio.

Once he left Vermont for New York, he gave the radio another chance and stumbled upon what would become the foundation of his musical ability.

He said he remembers moving to New York at 13 and discovering classic rock, such as Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Soon after he found artists such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis, he found out about the fusion genre. Adams said that’s why he likes jam band music today.

The band hopes the release of its album will help it take the right steps toward spreading its music outside of the Hudson Valley.

For fans coming to the show, Frieder said to expect a fun show full of original funky dance music mixed with a feel-good aura that they can do or dance whatever they feel while listening. The goal is to get people out of their seats and up next to their friends or strangers to sweat and move their bodies, he said.

“Every show we do, people love it. They want to know where we’re playing next, they dance, it’s very danceable music,” Frieder said. “But at the same time, it’s fun and freaky. It’s kind of just about expression and trying to bring people together.” mkalnitz@syr.edu

ebangwese played in four games this year as a striker.

“Volleyball I remember I used to be everything,” Ebangwese said. “I understand the game, I understand the IQ, I understand touches, what needs to be happening, when.

That is the uncomfortableness of soccer, but hey, I’m here to have fun and just be whatever they need me to be.”

Adams gave Ebangwese a two-week tryout with the team in the spring even though she hadn’t played the sport in eight years — since middle school. Ebangwese said her body remembered more than her mind did when it came to juggling techniques and dribbling. In practices and game, there are moments of hesitation before passing which become turnovers because of wrong decisions. Regaining field awareness has been the toughest part, she added.

But Ebangwese quickly regained her touch and adapted to her second collegiate sport, and Adams said she thought the graduate student could add depth, especially given the number of injuries SU suffered last year.

“I was just like, ‘How can I help you? What do you need me to do?’” Ebangwese initially said to Adams.

After she made the team, Ebangwese had to revamp her training to get ready for the fitness tests at the start of the season.

overtime this season, including four straight games from Sept. 6-17. All but once, those contests ended in a draw after two 10-minute periods.

After the bout against Louisville, Triantafillou took off his shin guards, rolled down his socks and got back to his feet with the assistance of two teammates. The Ontario native knew he had to start readying himself for training the next day, and, more importantly, the Orange’s contest with Cornell four days later.

“We’ve played an extra game with all our overtimes,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We’ve been grinding.”

Following the Orange’s postgame huddle, players slowly retreated back to the locker room where recovery begins minutes after. Triantafillou said he typically follows the same routine after each match, but following a double-overtime game, he from page 12

roster it’s more out there. So, I think it would probably be easier now to start playing younger than back when I was starting to play.”

At Syracuse (8-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast), the dichotomy between foreign-born and American players is clear. Most Americans on SU began playing field hockey as teenagers and some could only play club because their high schools didn’t have teams. They relied on their athleticism learned in other more popular sports to gain an advantage, while international players have honed their technical skills for longer, said junior Chiara Gutsche.

Webb began playing field hockey in third grade in Exton, Pennsylvania, earlier than all her other American teammates, she said. Webb’s mother played field hockey and introduced her to the sport, and it’s been “all I’ve ever known ever since,” Webb said. But from page 12

now had to focus on running and agility.

Ebangwese had to work on short sprints and more long distance running to be able to stay on the field as a forward.

The work Ebangwese put in to succeed in the fitness tests inspired the rest of the team, redshirt sophomore Kailee Coonan said. That’s been a constant praise for Ebangwese going back to her volleyball career.

“She was one of those kids doing two-a-days when nobody knew she was doing it,” assistant volleyball coach Derryk Williams said.

She’s relearned most of her technique but still reverts back to how she played volleyball at times, especially when going up for headers. It’s a threestep move in volleyball which she still uses, Ebangwese said. Two steps, one with each foot. Then, she plants both feet back down, one at a time, before exploding up.

Ebangwese’s impact comes mostly off the field as a role model in the locker room. Yelin called Ebengwese “everything a coach would like to have.” When Oyawale was dealing with personal issues her sophomore year, Ebangwese helped without being asked to. She cooked for Oyawale, kept her company and made jokes to cheer her up.

It’s the type of locker-room presence Adams and the rebuilding Syracuse program needs.

“Her values on and off whatever it is, the court or the field,” Adams said. “I thought they were, as a head coach at a Syracuse program trying to rebrand the image of this program, something that I thought would be valuable in the locker room for us.” armajumd@syr.edu | @aromajumder

takes more time to recuperate his body.

Each player seeks out what they need to tend to minor injuries or soreness.

Syracuse players’ recovery tools include ice baths, massages, compression boots and foam rollers. For Triantafillou, the ice bath “hurts too much,” so he wraps his knees and ankles instead. His goal is to get his body right for training the next day, even though it usually takes 48 hours for soreness and minor injuries to go away.

“By the end of those [overtime] games, your legs are shaking and you’re so tired mentally,” sophomore Ryan Raposo said. “It’s your individual responsibility to be at 110 percent by the time the next game comes.”

McIntyre controls the intensity of the first practice after a game based on the number of minutes played by each individual.

It’s lighter than usual. For those that play the majority of each match, like Raposo and Triantafillou, their session is primarily led

by SU’s training staff.

Trainers lead those players through stretching exercises and yoga, which is just enough to work up a sweat, Triantafillou said. Then, they lay back-down on a treatment table and put on compression boots to help reduce swelling and improve circulation from their feet up to their thighs.

Unless injuries continue to linger, they’ll rejoin sessions with the rest of the team the next day.

“We will cater to the physical needs of the guys so that we can try to get them back as quickly as possible,” McIntyre said last week. “This time of year, it’s about recovering immediately with the quick turnarounds.”

On the morning of Oct. 1, the Orange’s match against Albany was canceled due to forecasted thunderstorms. Instead of another two-match week, SU had a week-long period between games, its longest stretch of the season. Raposo said the Orange was disheartened to have a game called off the day of, but the extra time to recover was

“much needed.”

As Syracuse gears up for a challenging final month of the season — including games against No. 18 North Carolina and No. 11 Clemson — its players must maintain their recovery habits to stay fresh.

The Orange could have played fewer minutes if they held a 1-0 lead against Yale on Sept. 6 or a 2-0 lead against New Hampshire two days later. SU’s inability to convert chances and protect leads has led to the minutes piling up.

But McIntyre said he doesn’t think all of SU’s overtime games will affect how the Orange play late in the season, though, because its recovery plan should overshadow any concern of fatigue.

“Any coach would want a fresh group, any coach would rather not play five overtime games,” McIntyre said last week.

“You may question quality and execution, but you don’t question this team’s resilience or commitment.”

she’s an exception.

“American play is a lot different,” junior midfielder Laura Graziosi said. “But, I mean, there’s a lot of internationals in college field hockey, so I think they also bring European play to the field hockey here.”

Graziosi, who began field hockey in The Hague, Netherlands when she was five, has seven points, tied for second on the team. In the Netherlands, both men and women play

field hockey, and it’s the second-most popular sport behind soccer, Graziosi said. Three of Syracuse’s top five point-scorers — including Charlotte de Vries — have international backgrounds. de Vries moved from Belgium to Pennsylvania at 11 years old.

One of the biggest challenges when an American player moves onto the collegiate level of field hockey, SU head coach Ange Bradley said, is adjusting to the different surface. American youth field hockey is almost always played on field turf — same as lacrosse or football fields — but that changes to AstroTurf in college.

Bradley compared the transition from field turf to AstroTurf to “playing basketball on ice” because of how much faster the college-level surface is.

“The physiological demands are completely different,” Bradley said, “And the ability to transition and do the next job — you gotta be able to think faster.”

When junior Claire Cooke, who’s originally from Virginia, first came to Syra-

cuse, it was the first time she’d played on AstroTurf. She began playing field hockey as a freshman in high school, relying on her athleticism she developed from soccer and lacrosse to earn a scholarship to Syracuse as a junior.

But Cooke remembers struggling to “keep up with the speed of things” on the faster turf, often losing control of the ball.

She had to spend time after practices relearning basic field hockey motions like sweeping. “It changes the entire game,” Cooke said.

W hile American-born players like Cooke have to adjust to what feels like a “completely different game” due to the new field, international players remain comfortable — they’ve been playing on AstroTurf for their whole lives.

“You learn so many skills when you’re younger,” Graziosi said. “When you’re older, obviously it’s harder to learn certain stuff. If you had already learned it younger, it’s easier to grow more.

Oakville Jr. Hornets, her junior hockey team in Ontario.

“She’s a special kid and she was always a big part of my program,” Oakville coach Bradi Cochrane said. “It’s awesome. I can’t say enough good things about how I’m so happy for her.”

Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan noticed DiGirolamo at the U18 Championship and offered her a chance to play for the Orange. Her freshman season, DiGirolamo was inconsistent, but Flanagan continued to give her ice time anyway, he said.

As a sophomore last year, DiGirolamo

was second in goals (seven) and points (18) among defenders. Not only was she contributing offensively, but she anchored the defense with 70 blocked shots, second on the team behind then-captain Allie Munroe.

DiGirolamo was named to the CHA AllTournament team.

Through three games in 2019, DiGirolamo has one goal and two assists. She leads the team in shots on goal and is one of the leaders in ice time. The development camp helped turn her into a well-rounded player that Flanagan feels comfortable using in any situation.

“I just think it’s all about confidence,” Flanagan said. “Hockey Canada showed that much faith in her, those experiences make you exude confidence.”

After competing with some of the best players in the world, DiGirolamo finally has the confidence she needs to play to her full potential. Flanagan said he is playing her more because he trusts her ability.

“She is a different player this year,” captain Lindsay Eastwood said. “She’s got lots of confidence and you can tell she worked hard this summer.”

How SU deals with double overtimes

By David Schneidman staff writer

When the final whistle blew in Syracuse’s 110-minute scoreless draw against Louisville on Sept.

13, Simon Triantafillou immediately laid on his back and put his hands on his head.

The Orange had just endured their third-consecutive double overtime game, and for all 20 minutes of extra time, played a man-down. Triantafillou was on the field for every minute of SU’s previous two matches.

After pushing himself through the two overtime periods, the junior midfielder said he was “absolutely exhausted.”

“The legs are shot,” Triantafillou said thinking back. “The mind is shot.”

Syracuse (3-3-4, 0-2-2 Atlantic Coast) has played more minutes per game (98.7) than every other team in D-I. The Orange has gone to overtime five times photo illustration by corey henry photo editor

Santita Ebangwese was Syracuse’s most decorated volleyball player. Now, she’s transitioned to soccer.

By Arabdho Majumder asst. digital editor

S

antita Ebangwese moved her body to the rhythm of stadium music in SU Soccer Stadium as Syracuse women’s soccer warmed up for its 2019 seasonopener. Teammates around her laughed and joined in.

During her four-year volleyball career, Ebangwese would dance with Jalissa Trotter and Christina Oyawale as part of their pregame tradition.

Ebangwese’s family is from Cameroon and Oyawale is from Nigeria. When a good beat came on, everyone was encouraged to pay homage to their culture, Oyawale said. A couple times during last season, the trio was even able to get volleyball head coach Leo-

nid Yelin, typically stoic on the sideline, to dance along.

Before Ebangwese brought her dance moves to the soccer team, SU hadn’t won a game in nearly a year, spanning from Sept. 2, 2018 to Aug. 29, 2019. She was brought in by firstyear head coach Nicky Adams to bring positive energy and a new voice to a failing program. Syracuse went on to beat Colgate that day. Then, defeated Siena four days later.

“Santita is Ms. Syracuse, right?”

Adams said. “She does well on the court, on the field, and then academically, so I’ve asked her to mentor our young kids … she’s been able to mentor them and keep them in the right lanes.”

Last year at this time, “Ms. Syracuse” was on the volleyball court,

leading SU to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. Ebangwese’s accolades on the court include two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference First Team accolades and a 2018 American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA) AllAmerican Honorable Mention.

With one year of NCAA eligibility left and knowing she would be at Syracuse completing a master’s in biomedical engineering, Ebangwese thought “why not?” Soccer was the first sport she played before pursuing volleyball and basketball instead in high school, and when she heard Adams would take over the Orange’s program, she reached out. She’s listed as a backup goalkeeper, but on an injury-riddled SU (2-7-2, 0-3-1 Atlantic Coast) team, Ebangwese has see ebangwese page 10

How 1 top development camp helped an SU defender

By Allie Kaylor

contributing writer

When Jessica DiGirolamo returned from playing with Canada’s best amateur hockey players this August, she summed up her experience with just one word.

“Undescribable.”

She wasn’t invited after her freshman year at Syracuse, but DiGirolamo went to Calgary this

summer to play at the Canada BFL National Women’s Development Team Selection Camp, a program designed to train players for international competition. She was able to wear the Canadian sweater she’d always dreamed of wearing, and now hopes to bring this summer’s skills to Syracuse (0-3) and lead the Orange to a second consecutive conference championship.

“It was a great experience to be around very good athletes as well as alumni from Canada,” she said.

“It was like all of my hard work paid off.”

At the end of the camp, DiGirolamo was one of the 23 players out of 88 selected to Hockey Canada’s Women’s Development Team. She played three exhibition games against the United States in late August as part of a program

known for producing pro stars — 14 Team Canada alumni were drafted into the now-disbanded Canadian Women’s Hockey League in 2018.

The development camp and subsequent exhibition games were not DiGirolamo’s first experience with Hockey Canada. In 2016, she won a gold medal at the National Women’s U18 Championship as a member of Team Ontario Red.

Roster indicative of larger US trends

By Danny Emerman asst. sports editor

Not long after Carolin Hoffmann learned to talk and walk, she couldn’t wait to step on a field hockey pitch. Instead of adventuring into a nearby playroom, the German toddler eagerly watched her older brother’s practices from the sidelines.

And though the local club’s minimum age was three years old, one coach made an exception, allowing Hoffmann, then two-and-a-half, to play field hockey.

In European countries like Germany and the Netherlands where many SU players hail from, picking up field hockey in preschool — like Hoffmann did — is common. But in the United States, 32 out of 50 states have zero high schools that offer field hockey, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). Still, the sport’s popularity in the United States has improved in recent years, as the overall participation has grown by more than 1,000 high schoolers since 2015, per the NFHS. “I think it’s getting bigger,” Claire Webb said of youth field hockey, “So there’s more advertising for it, and see roster page 10
