Katko and Balter discuss education, taxes at NAACP forum

REP. JOHN KATKO (LEFT) AND DANA BALTER answer questions from the audience at a public forum Sunday held at the Living Water Church of God. Question subjects included poverty, support of President Donald Trump and whether the candidates have staff members of color. max freund asst. photo editor

By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

Congressional candidates Dana Balter and Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) on Sunday took the podium inside the Living Water Church of God on Syracuse’s South Side to share their views on crime, education, taxes and poverty. Balter, a Democrat and political newcomer, is challenging incumbent Katko for New York state’s 24th Congressional District. At a forum hosted by the NAACP on Sunday night, Katko and Balter each

gave statements and took questions from the audience. The two candidates answered questions on poverty and crime in the city, education, the future of I-81, prison reform and President Donald Trump’s rhetoric. Keith Alford, director of Syracuse University’s School of Social Work, moderated the forum, asking questions that were submitted online and from an audience of about 30 people. When asked what she would do to combat poverty, Balter said she would focus on three areas: improving educational

opportunities, supporting affordable housing and expanding healthcare. “The quality of your education is tied to the zip code in which you live,” Balter said. “That means we are not setting up our kids for the best chance of success, for the best job opportunities, for the best economic future.” Balter said, if elected, she would work to expand federal funding for schools and affordable housing, make public colleges and universities tuition-free and raise the federal minimum wage to $15. She would do these by voting to

repeal the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax reform bill signed into law last year, she said. Like Balter, Katko said he supports subsidized housing for Syracuse residents, and added that he will never vote to cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid. He voted against the Republican-backed repeal of the Affordable Care Act because the Republican Party didn’t have an alternative plan ready, he said. Katko, who called himself a “moderate, independent Republican,” has been see forum page 4

SA promotes recognition of American Sign Language at SU By Gabe Stern staff writer

A long-standing push to recognize American Sign Language across all schools and colleges at Syracuse University could soon be put before the University Senate, pending signatures on a student interest petition launched by SU’s Student Association. If SA’s petition gets 250 signatures, ASL could be discussed by the Senate. A 250-signature petition is the “unofficial standard” for something to get talked about

at the Senate, said SA president Ghufran Salih, in a text message to The Daily Orange. SA is currently working on a report comparing the ASL policy at SU to policies implemented at peer institutions. SA leadership and Disability Cultural Center officials said they supported expanding ASL’s reach at SU. ASL is its own language, largely used in the Deaf community, in which people use hand gestures to communicate. It comes with its own culture and is one of many dialects of sign language across the globe, said

Kate Corbett, the Disability Cultural Center’s coordinator, in a newsletter. The School of Education is the only college at SU in which ASL courses count as language credits. The School of Education has historically been “progressive with disability issues,” Corbett said. When Corbett, who is Deaf, was a student at City University of New York Hunter College, she was not allowed to use her ASL credits to fulfill her language requirements because of the curriculum structure, she said. Instead, Corbett had to make up language requirements

with culture-based classes — which she said was part of the reason it took her seven years to get an undergraduate degree. “Some hearing person had decided what ‘culture’ entailed, and disability and Deafness were not a part of it,” she wrote in a 2017 newsletter. Disability Cultural Center Director Diane Wiener has long been an advocate for ASL to become an official language at SU. As the co-chair of the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion, she said she’s seen support for the idea grow among administrators, including

Chancellor Kent Syverud. In 2016, the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion recommended that ASL be eligible to fulfill language requirements in all schools and colleges at SU. Syverud approved the recommendation soon after. Wiener said that the task force originally wanted ASL to fulfill language requirements. In October 2018, Salih stood in front of the SA assembly and announced her support for making ASL an acknowledged language. After years of working with see asl page 4

SU to add 100 faculty as part of initiative By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

Syracuse University plans to hire 100 faculty members through 2023 as part of its Signature Hires Initiative. For each of the next five years, 20 hires will be made through Invest Syracuse, SU’s $100 million academic fundraising plan. Signature Hires is designed to expand SU’s research capabilities by bringing in “signature hires” that will both teach and conduct research. The new hires will be tenuretrack professors instead of adjunct faculty. SU announced in June that

the university also plans on making cluster hires, which are groups of faculty who have shared research interests. Part of Invest Syracuse also involves providing SU’s schools and colleges with funding to attract faculty from underrepresented populations. The hiring plan was announced in 2017. In January, Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly said Invest Syracuse calls on SU to improve its academic research programs and reputation as a research university. In 2016, SU moved to the top tier research classification in the

Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. “The two prongs of Invest Syracuse really revolve around providing a world class experience to students … as well as advancing academic reputation, so faculty would be critical to that initiative,” Wheatly said in January. SU’s schools and colleges were asked how they would distinguish themselves if given the opportunity to receive the signatures hires. A panel of faculty and administrators then identified the first 31 positions of the 100 total, SU announced in June. The cost of the new hires will

be shared by the university and the schools and colleges. Wheatly also said that the university chose to make tenure-track hires instead of adjunct faculty hires because adjunct professors typically don’t conduct research. Adjuncts are paid less than tenuretrack faculty at universities across the country. The signature hires should contribute to SU’s research reputation, provide real-world research experiences for their students and help the university recruit new students, according to a June SU News release. cdarnell@syr.edu

Here are 3 stories you missed this weekend By Mary Catalfamo asst. digital editor

These are the biggest news stories that happened last weekend, from a lecture by a bestselling author and Syracuse University professor to the results of a medical innovation contest hosted by Upstate Medical University.

Hearing adjourned for second time in state lawsuit filed by students involved in Theta Tau videos

An Oct. 17 hearing for at least two SU students involved in a lawsuit against the university in connection to the Theta Tau videos controversy was adjourned until Oct. 31. Karen Felter, a lawyer representing

the students in the lawsuit, confirmed in an email the hearing was pushed until Oct. 31 at the request of SU’s legal team. The lawsuit, which was filed anonymously by 10 students disciplined in connection to last spring’s Theta Tau videos, is the second suit filed against SU over its handling of the controversy. Another lawsuit anonymously filed by nine students is currently being litigated in federal court.

Bestselling author George Saunders speaks about life, writing and kindness during lecture at SU

George Saunders, an award-winning author and SU English professor, gave an hour-long lecture

for more than 200 people Thursday night, kicking off the university’s 18th lecture series. He talked about his creative process, path to SU and possible future prospects. Saunders has been a professor of English at SU since 1997 and has won numerous awards for his writing, including the Man Booker Prize in 2017 for his novel “Lincoln in the Bardo.” TIME magazine in 2013 named him one of the world’s most influential people. On Thursday, he also discussed traveling into Republican heartland to interview President Donald Trump supporters for an article for The New Yorker and told the lecture attendees he has found himself falling more in love with teaching in SU’s creative writing program.

rated as the 7th most bipartisan members of Congress by the Lugar Center at Georgetown University. Former President Barack Obama signed ten of his bills into law, and Katko never submits legislation unless he has a Democratic co-sponsor, he said. Balter has attacked Katko for his support of the Republican tax plan. “I voted for the tax reform bill for the people in this city because they’re the ones getting an opportunity,” Katko said at the Sunday forum. He said the tax cuts provided to businesses will benefit his constituents because the cuts will act as an incentive for companies to create jobs in the United States. The tax bill also provided tax cuts to families. Congress has voted to extend those cuts beyond 2027, he added. A woman in the audience asked Katko how many people are on his staff, and how many were people of color. Twelve and zero were the answers, respectively, he said. At the second portion of the forum where Balter spoke, she was asked the same question. Balter said 20 percent of her staff is people of color. When she made her campaign hires, she said she tried to made sure her staff was illustrative of the district she hopes to represent. The 24th district includes all of Cayuga, Ononfrom page 1

students, faculty and administrators, Wiener said she was confident the proposal could pass through the Senate. “I don’t feel a need to advocate elaborately because I have confidence in the process as it’s unfolding already,” she said. “And I know there are faculty all over this campus who already know very well and very deeply that this needs to happen and that it will. I think it will happen.” Neither Salih nor Wiener could provide an estimated cost for adding ASL as a recog-

daga and Wayne counties, and the western part of Oswego county. Reading a question submitted online, Alford asked Katko if he approved of Trump’s “bullying tactics.” “I routinely stand up to him,” said Katko, who said he wrote in former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley for president instead of voting for Trump in the 2016 election. “But if you want someone who is going to oppose every single thing he does, that’s not me. You have to try and make whoever’s president successful.” Activist Alfonso Davis and South Side resident Elise Baker, who both attended the forum, said they didn’t think Katko was as involved in the South Side community as he said he is. Katko has been criticized in the past for not holding enough town halls or having open office hours. Balter said Katko’s “refusal to engage with constituents” is disrespectful. Linda Brown-Robinson, president of the NAACP of Syracuse and Onondaga County, said the chapter was criticized for having both candidates speak at two separate times throughout the night. Each candidate spoke for about an hour and a half, and the entire program running from 4 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.. Brown-Robinson said Katko refused to speak at the same time as Balter. casey@dailyorange.com @caseydarnell_

nized language. Salih said that SA’s initiative is still in its “infancy.” Salih said it will be necessary to start the curriculum in stages, such as starting as a minor or certificate program, she said. Salih said her end goal was for ASL to expand. And Corbett said this is important for the way ASL is perceived on campus. “It would send the message that this is a real language,” Corbett said. “There’s a lot of bias and misinformation around sign language, and that’s why it’s routinely denied as a language credit because people don’t view it as a language.” gkstern@syr.edu

Domestic violence awareness is critical

ast week in the Panasci Lounge at Syracuse University, the Clothesline Project was on display — a presentation of T-shirts decorated by individuals affected by interpersonal violence. The project showed SU’s campus community that domestic violence doesn’t exclude college students, and noted why it’s incredibly important to advocate for others. According to a 2011 report from Break the Cycle Inc., an organization that aims to help teens escape domestic abuse, 57 percent of college students who reported being in an abusive relationship said it occurred in college. But at the same time, 58 percent of students said they didn’t know what to do to help someone who’s a victim of dating abuse, according to Break the Cycle Inc. Not only is relationship violence a issue on campuses, but many students also don’t know how to navigate

methods of support. Being younger, college students suffer different consequences from violence than those much older. That’s why it’s important that students are there for peers, and they equip themselves with tools to be supportive. Multiple resources exist on college campuses for those in abusive situations. Specific to SU, the Counseling Center’s Sexual and Relationship Violence Response Team is available 24/7 for services. Another resource located in the Syracuse area is Vera House Inc., a domestic and sexual violence prevention organization dedicated to assisting those in need. “If you’re looking at someone in their 20s or younger, the brain is still developing,” said Tiffany Brec,

campus project coordinator at Vera House Inc. “When someone is experiencing violence at that age, you’re looking at significant risks in their physical, emotional and social development.” Recognizing the signs of relationship violence is important, and all college students should have general knowledge about those signs. It’s up to us, as students, as friends, as humans, to show compassion and speak up when something seems off. Necessary action depends on your relationship to the person, of course. And checking in with friends to simply convey support can be critical. It’s crucial that you take a few minutes each day to forget about yourself, and listen, empower and be there for someone in crisis.

SU’s NEXIS lab fosters student innovation

utting-edge scientific projects don’t always have to be developed by billionaires or the world’s technology powerhouses. Innovation and the development of new ideas is possible right here at Syracuse University, in Hinds Hall’s New Exploration in Information and Science lab (NEXIS). Students in NEXIS have access to a host of programs developed by companies such as Microsoft, Unity and Oculus. Students’ endeavors shouldn’t be discounted. Particularly, with resources like the NEXIS lab, there are fascinating scientific advances underway at SU. “We don’t take direction from a specific faculty member,” said Christopher Sekerak, vice director of NEXIS and junior at SU. “We’re not under their direct guidance. Obviously we like to collaborate with faculty, but it’s totally student driven.” Students initiate all NEXIS projects. One student is exploring how virtual reality technology could be used to combat phobias. Another student is using technology to more fully understand the meaning behind certain facial expressions. New to NEXIS this year is the possibility of group proj-

ects. This addition may help the lab push boundaries like never before. “A lot of times in the past we have had great individual projects that, even if there’s great work that comes out of it, they tend not to continue across semesters,” Sekerak said. The group projects will allow people to share knowledge in a way that allows for projects to span semesters or years, he said. Sekerak is a participant in one of the group initiatives. He, along with a team of five other students, are exploring the uses of blockchain. NEXIS allows students to realize their potential. The lab is still looking to grow in the future, and the NEXIS team is always looking for ways to improve the research process. Student technology shouldn’t be ignored and, with the help of campus resources, SU students can showcase their innovative spirit.

Off the W menu Antoni Porowski is a cultural icon in and out of his kitchen By Haley Robertson asst. feature editor

hen Antoni Porowski moved his knife to chop parsley on a wooden cutting board, a crowd of nearly 1,300 people cheered him on. Porowski was center stage in Goldstein Auditorium at Syracuse University, preparing a farm-fresh salad. “You guys like never make food? I’m literally just cutting parsley!” he said. On each episode of Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” Porowski transforms the lives of families by teaching them about the accessibility of home cooking. The food and wine specialist spoke at SU on Saturday night for a cooking demonstration, moderated discussion and audience Q&A session. The event, sponsored by University Union and Traditions Commission, kicked off with the 2018 Homecoming Court crowning of this year’s king and queen. Senior television, radio and film majors Danny Higgins and Katie Dills were crowned king and queen. Porowski walked on stage, greeted by a roar from the crowd, where a white-clothed table was set with a cutting board, tools and ingredients. He paid tribute to Syracuse, wearing a Strong Hearts Cafe T-shirt under his studded, leather jacket and mentioning the SU football game from

earlier in the day. “Hey, Siri, who won the Syracuse game today?” he said, knowing the double overtime victory against the University of North Carolina would send the audience erupting into cheers. Porowski wasted no time getting into the cooking demonstration. He said he’d prepare a college-friendly salad that’s “quick” and “simple” — two of his favorite words. The dish is a sneak-peak recipe which will be featured in Porowski’s cookbook, set to be released next year. But the Fab Five member said he needed some assistance with the demonstration. He called Higgins and Dills to the stage to help him prep carrots and dates. While they helped slice and peel, Porowski playfully asked the two students if they were dating. “Am I not supposed to ask that? Is that inappropriate?” Porowski said, igniting laughter from the crowd. The homecoming king and queen couldn’t control their laughter — Dills then pointed to her boyfriend in the front row. He continued the cooking demonstration by making a vinaigrette with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, fresh ginger and parsley. As he finished the salad preparation, see porowski page 8

Artist to speak at lecture series Music industry leader returns to Syracuse By Alex Rouhandeh contributing writer

Since childhood, Sayeeda Moreno has been fascinated with capturing life’s moments. Moreno once thought photographs froze each person so that they were partially stuck in time. Moreno, an award-winning filmmaker, will speak at Syracuse University’s Shemin Auditorium on Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. as part of the department of Transmedia’s Colloquium Lecture Series. “I think that each film or each body of work reflect where I am at, in the moment,” Moreno said. Moreno’s said her upbringing influenced her artistry. Her mother, who fell in love with a

woman while Moreno was a child, helped Moreno explore her own sexuality. Buther relationship with her mother had been complex throughout her life. As a queer woman of color, Moreno’s identities have shaped her perspectives. Growing up, she faced discrimination in her community. While she was rushing home to avoid bullies, she was exploring her identity. At 15, she found herself living alone and began exploring photography. She said she loved self-portraits because they created “characters that were me, but also not me.” This gave way to filmmaking. “As a black woman, as an AfroPuerto Rican, an African-Ameri-

can, being a woman, being a queer person, being a mother, all of these things mean I have to navigate the world with a sense of safety that doesn’t exist at all times for me,” Moreno said. After her mother died, her short film “White” came together. It takes place in a future where climate change has turned the world into a place where melanin is a commodity. The plot follows the main character’s quest to save her newborn daughter from the melanin-harvesting industry. Moreno said she grew up watching films with her mom. “That’s where it is. That’s my relationship to the world and to my work.” ajrouhan@syr.edu

porowski Porowski added a special ingredient for the Syracuse audience — oranges. He revisited his technique of “supreming” citrus fruit, which he used in the third episode of “Queer Eye,” to teach police officer Cory Waldrop how to make an avocado-grapefruit salad. About 20 minutes into the presentation, the three sampled the final product. Porowski asked Dills and Higgins what their plans were for the night. Higgins eagerly responded by inviting him to a house party later in the evening. The stage was cleared as Porowski took a seat next to SU Student Association President Ghufran Salih for the moderated discussion segment. Salih kicked off the conversation by asking Porowski about his food interest during his college years — to her surprise, he didn’t discover instant ramen until recently. Porowski said he’s always been “weirdly obsessed with food,” but he didn’t recognize this love until he was cast in “Queer Eye.” Growing up, Porowski said he was always thinking about the next meal and analyzing what he would change. Although he was never allowed to cook with his mother as a child, he’d always watch her from a distance. Porowski’s self-taught culinary education began by watching Food Network cooking shows and YouTube videos. from page 7

chernett constantly, giving him the opportunity to experience a variety of concerts in different parts of the world — which is his favorite part of his job. “I find it extremely rewarding and fascinating how many passionate communities there are following the smallest bands to some of the biggest artists out there,” Chernett said. Many aspects of Chernett’s current work deal with connecting people from all over the world to live music experiences through virtual and augmented reality. Chernett said he doesn’t see the live music industry going away. The digital age, for example, may allow for more discovery of

The conversation shifted to Porowski’s experiences on Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” He said he felt overwhelmed when the show was first announced — he gained more than 70,000 followers on social media in one day. Porowski described himself as an “extroverted introvert.” “I have days where I can really turn it on, and I can really be out there and I love entertaining,” he said. “And there are other days where I’m really quiet, and I really just want to be on the subway with a book or in a coffee shop.” But since the show has surged in popularity, Porowski said he is constantly moved by the stories he hears from fans — something that will never get old. When he was waiting in the concessions line at a Broadway show, one girl told Porowski that her brother came out to her family after watching episode four of “Queer Eye.” The Fab Five is currently in production for their third season of the show, which will take place in Kansas City. Porowski said he wants to feature an immigrant’s story in the upcoming season. He expressed gratitude to the show’s all-women creative team who have planted the seed to make that goal possible. Rounding out the cast of “Queer Eye” are Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk and Jonathan Van Ness. Salih asked Porowski about the Fab Five’s group chat — he said it’s

filled with gifs and memes about the show. But he said the cast also uses their group chat to help each other out while filming. They constantly share information they learn about the show’s “heroes,” a term that the group uses to describe the people featured in each episode. These lifestyle makeover nominees have been painted as “sad dads” and “hapless bachelors” by some media, but Porowski sees these people as anything but. In the “lightning round” questions, Porowski said his favorite cuisine was Italian and his favorite grocery store in Syracuse is Samir’s Imported Foods, which offers Middle Eastern and Mediterranean specialty foods. The last part of the event was a student Q&A session. The first question asked Porowski what were the most valuable things he’s learned from each member of the Fab Five. Porowski was asked by another student what “Queer Eye” has taught him about himself. He said he’s been an emotional person since he was a child, when he would cry during “Free Willy” and Disney films. Although “Queer Eye” was not part of Porowski’s original life plan, he said he couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. “It’s taught me to use what I thought was a liability because I thought that sensitivity was a weakness,” he said. “It’s proven to be one of

the biggest assets of my life.” Porowski has found that the more vulnerable and sensitive he is with the heroes on “Queer Eye,” the more comfortable they feel around him. He cited Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — who Porowski walked with in the Montreal Pride Parade — as an example of empathy that more men should aspire to. When asked about opening his new NYC restaurant, Village Den, Porowski said it was a learning experience. His first menu draft was too elaborate, so he worked with his team to simplify it — a reminder to Porowski that cooking can be really simple with the right ingredients. The final question of the evening was about Porowski’s favorite memory from the past two years. He described a touching moment with his father, who expressed his pride in Porowski after watching an episode of “Queer Eye” and seeing his son march in the parade. Porowski said this was a “beautiful” moment for him because his father doesn’t express praise too often. Before leaving the stage, Porowski had some advice for his college-aged audience. “Tell each other that you love each other. Everyone needs to hear it, too,” he said. “Just go out of your way and say something nice. Just be a good person.”

music in other parts of the world, as fans across the globe gain access to other live shows. Despite traveling around the world, Chernett said he has prioritized remaining engaged with SU as an alum. He said he has “always has had a passion for Syracuse” and tries to showcase his love for the university by giving back to its students. He’s helped place SU students in internships with Live Nation, as well as returning to campus to speak with its students. Todd Herreman, an associate teaching professor of music industry and technologies in the Setnor School of Music, is this year’s director of the lecture series. Herreman has 20 years of experience in the music industry himself, having previously worked with Prince, Brian Wilson

and Michael Jackson, among others. Drawing from his own background in the music industry, Herreman commended Chernett’s career and his contributions to Syracuse. “To get to where he is, not only the title Executive VP, but in a company with the scope and solid background of Live Nation, obviously he knows what he’s doing and has done it very well.” Herreman said. Both the Bandier program in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Setnor School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts provide programs of study about the music business. Imraan Farukhi, an SU professor who teaches communications law to Bandier stu-

dents in Newhouse, said the perspectives SU alumni share with current students through these lectures series are essential. “I think it’s invaluable because for one, it’s first-hand contact with people who have gone through the same experience at SU and are now establishing their careers,” Farukhi said. “I’m a big believer that the networking aspect of Bandier is essential because that is part of the lifeblood of the entertainment businesses, so being able to leverage connections through SU has a lot of impact on the success of students.” Chernett will speak in room 007 of the Whitman School of Management on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 6:30 p.m.

Out of season The last Syracuse-area farmers market will begin this week By Victoria Decoster contributing writer

estled outside of Town Center Mall, off of NY-5 E, sits the Fayetteville Farmers Market CNY. On Thursdays from 12-6 p.m., the market offers locally sourced produce from central New York farmers. The last Farmers Market of the season will take place this Thursday, October 25th. Vendors will sell a range of products including fresh produce, baked goods, locally grown flowers and a variety of goat and cow cheeses, among others. The Fayetteville operation first started in 2014 by Lacey and Kevin Cashman of the Mountain Grown Farm. Lacey said she encourages visitors to try a farm fresh carrot — “the rest of the carrots you find in the store will be ruined for you forever,” she said. The farm originally began in 2009 as a vineyard, keeping a small garden on the side to bring in a source of income before the grapes were harvested. The small garden has evolved since, becoming completely sustainable. Earthworms are used to enrich

their soil — you can find almost any type of crop depending on the season. “There’s a huge difference in food that is fresher and still alive. It lasts longer generally when you bring it home, but it also supports the farms that grow it,” Lacey said. Tim Hoda is the owner of the Rainforest Spice Company, a beekeeping farm. He sells more than 50 products including raw unprocessed honey, natural lip balm and beeswax food wraps. He also sells Bee Propolis Extract, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties — used as a holistic

approach to treating wounds and possibly aiding in certain types of cancer treatment, Hoda said. For the 20 years he’s been working as a beekeeper, Hoda has used sustainable practices in order to “live at peace with man, God and his creation.” He’s even manufactured his own “protein patties,” which are full of healthy fats and essential oils to provide his bees with protection against varroa mites — the main problem facing honey bees. Unlike most commercial bee farms, the Rainforest Spice Co. has seen very little drop in their bee and honey production. Hoda’s passion for his work — and, most importantly, his bees — is evident. “They say if you find something you love doing, you’ll never work another day in your life and since starting this farm I haven’t,” he said. For Hoda, small-scale farming as a remedy to modern issues in society. He said technology shouldn’t be used as a short-term “fix” and that people should explore how they can contribute to society in a meaningful way while finding what makes them happy. vadecost@syr.edu

woodsmen became formally recognized by the school as a Division III sport, with most competitions more than two hours away. At the meets, the SUNY-ESF Woodsmen team is split into smaller teams of six — the men’s and women’s A teams, a men’s B team and the Jack and Jill team (men and women). About 15 teams in the Northeast partake in events with SUNY-ESF. Some are club teams and others receive limited funding. This results in some events running more efficiently than others. At some meets, wood sizes vary, announcers and judges aren’t up to par and times are misreported. For SUNY-ESF’s competition, Nathan Waterfield, a professional in timber sports, milled the wood. That’s the hardest part about planning the event, head coach and former Woodsmen athlete Sarah Murphy said, because competition requires barkless wood, so it doesn’t dull the saws. They use softwood like red pine and aspen as opposed to hardwoods like maple trees, because hardwoods tend to have more knots and aren’t preferable for blades. But finding wood, saws and other tools required for the sport is difficult, members of the women’s A team said. There are only a few people in the United States who know how to make the saws required, which cre-

ate expensive products that take a long time to get. A single buck saw, which SUNYESF won as a prize after totaling the highest combined score between the men and women’s A teams, typically costs between $1,500 and $2,000. The wait time to receive different types of saws varies between six months and five years. For the high price and long wait times, the saws only last for 20 competitive uses and another 20 practice uses. “The way that we’ve been taught is that a lot of people can only saw with one person and one type of saw,” Eliza Phillips, the head steward of the Woodsmen, said. “But we’ve been trained to saw with many different types of people and different types of saws.” SUNY-ESF used the bow saw as well as the single buck saw during Saturday’s competition, which included more than 10 events. The morning portion of the meet consisted of individual events such as cookie stack and hard hit. It was in cookie stack that Morris readied her chainsaw. She cut the block horizontally, creating slices of wood – a cookie. The goal is to keep the pieces of wood stacked on top of each other while slicing them with a chainsaw. Alternating the sides she sliced from, Morris cut pieces in thicknesses varying from a CD to a VHS tape. Her precision with the chainsaw earned nine cookies, with none falling on the ground.

In hard hit, Woodsmen president Ben Karlson braced himself on top of a horizontal log with a razor-sharp ax in hand. A black X on the top of the log guided each competitor. In one of the few events not timed, Karlson broke logs in as few strokes as possible. Each thud of the ax burying itself into the wood was followed by the ringing of the chainmail protective gear Karlson had strapped to his shins and feet as protection against the ax. Chunks of wood flew out of the growing notch and after 12 strikes facing one way, he turned to break open the other side. The two notches met in the middle after 27 hits, and the log broke in two. The chainmail, a knight-like metal piece of armor, covered Karlson’s shins to keep them safe during competition. During events with chainsaws, competitors wear bright orange chaps and goggles. In some events that require chopping wood, such as fire building, they wear metal booties that cover the competitor’s shoes and shins. Injuries aren’t completely preventable, though. When Murphy was an athlete on the team, a friend of hers didn’t put his chainmail on correctly. It slipped off his foot while he was participating in a chopping event. The ax split through his shoe, hitting his foot. No one was hurt on Saturday, though the team events provided a different danger. During fire build, each duo had one cookie, half a

log, two tools (axes, knives, etc.), three matches and a charred can filled with soapy water. The objective: Construct a fire hot enough to boil the liquid. Teams chopped the wood and created their flammable formations on circular cookies of wood. As the fire grew, the competitors placed the can of soapy water on top and blew on the flames. Spectators yelled to the competitors: “You don’t need eyebrows, get in there. They’ll grow back.” As the heat rose, boiling water followed suit. For the winners, it took less than three minutes. Once the competitors were done, their fires were dumped into a large barrel in the middle of the competition space. The scent of bonfire filled the air. “It means a lot to have it right here on our home turf and have schools come to us,” Murphy said. By the time the final event finished, piles of wood shavings covered the grass. The breakdown of the competition field commenced. Members of the SUNY-ESF woodsmen team shoveled the shavings into wheelbarrows until the grass was visible again. Leaving their home stadium an empty field, the SUNY-ESF Woodsmen team will return back to their practice clearing in the woods. There’s more wood to chop. klwasile@syr.edu | @Kaci_Waz

serves serves’ impact surpasses any stat sheet. “We tried to put it in play but put it aggressive enough so that we made them move and be uncomfortable,” Ebangwese said. On the opening point of the match, Trotter fired a jump serve toward Parchment. An errant dig forced senior setter, Kylie Pickrell, to track back into the middle of the court, away from her usual position near the net. This meant that her set had to cover more distance and wasn’t as accurate. The off-balance hit from senior Teni Sopitan was weak and fell right to SU freshman Polina Shemanova. She tapped the ball to Trotter who fed sophomore Ella Saada for an easy kill. Syracuse assistant coach Derryk Williams moved out of his chair, walked to the sideline and shouted, “Nice, let’s keep it going.” Trotter continued serving for the next nine points as Syracuse jumped out to a 10-0 lead. The Orange eventually took the first set, 25-9. After struggling with service errors early on in the season, SU is now serving more aggressively, Trotter said. “I think that’s something that we’ve been trying to do recently, not to go too easy on the serves,” Trotter said, “and I think that gives us a real good opportunity to get a good block and set up our defense.” In three of the four sets, SU used its serve as a weapon to take the Wolfpack out of their game plan. Syracuse forced its opponents into ill-timed errors, poor sets, and whiffed kills. This provided the Orange more time to move into position on defense, Trotter said. Yet in the second set, Syracuse couldn’t find its serving rhythm. It committed six serfrom page 12

devito zone, arms flailing as he ran. He’d entered the game for Eric Dungey with 5:07 left and Syracuse trailing by a touchdown. His 42-yard connection to Johnson tied the game with 1:39 left in regulation. It was SU’s first touchdown in eight drives. “It’s not a permanent change,” Babers said of the quarterback swap. “We needed a little spark, and obviously the other guy came in and did some things well.” But DeVito provided more than Babers’ desired spark — he delivered a win out of a loss, and for that, he needs to be the starting quarterback when Syracuse (5-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) hosts North Carolina State (5-1, 2-1) in primetime this Saturday. When considering the present state of this Syracuse team, the fact that DeVito is the future at quarterback and how flat-out good he was Saturday, DeVito proved he deserves to stay under center for the time being. SU didn’t trail because of Eric Dungey. His play wasn’t detrimental. But for the first time in a long time, maybe ever, it felt like Dungey, not

vice errors and didn’t ace the Wolfpack once. Down 18-17, Trotter stepped up to the baseline with an opportunity to even up the score for the first time since 2-2. Her float serve sailed through the air but the referee raised his red flag. Trotter had fired her serve

too long. SU head coach Leonid Yelin believes points like that show room for improvement. “This is a question about how to sustain this,” Yelin said. “That whole match or as much as you need. That’s the $1 million ques-

tion. Everyone can play great, how long can you do this?” Sunday, the Orange served well in three of four sets. Against the Wolfpack, that was enough.

poor offensive line play or a turnstile defense, held the Orange back. His 54 percent completion rate and one passing touchdown to three interceptions in the last three games is pedestrian. On Saturday, after 55 minutes of dreary offense, Babers had seen enough. “Sometimes you just change one character,” Babers said, “and it throws off the defense. I don’t know if it worked or not.” After forcing a three-and-out, Syracuse received the ball at its 42 with 2:07 left. DeVito missed Taj Harris on first down. Then he connected over the middle with Sean Riley for 16 yards. One play later, he hit Johnson for the game-tying touchdown. In the meager sample of DeVito this season — a shaky outing at Western Michigan, more than half a game in a drubbing of Florida State and against North Carolina — he’s not only shown he’s up to the task, but improving. After the Western Michigan game, Dungey’s job wasn’t in danger. An injury put DeVito in against the Seminoles, where he looked capable, going 11-for-16 for 144 yards and a passing touchdown. With no restraints Saturday, DeVito, once a four-star recruit and Elite 11 finalist, offered a glimpse of the heralded passer that coaches

and recruiters have raved about for years. And if that’s DeVito, if that’s his game and what he will do as a quarterback, he simply must play. He had his best statistical performance, going 11-for-19 for 181 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Wide receivers say there’s no particular difference in catching passes from DeVito or Dungey. “It felt kind of normal,” Custis said of DeVito replacing Dungey. “It might sound crazy, but playing with this guy every day in practice and watching him work hard during the summer. It felt kind of normal, it wasn’t really something surprising. We kind of knew that he could perform when his time was called and he did that. It was good for the team. It was kind of expected.” DeVito continued to look crisp in overtime, firing a 25-yard strike to Custis for a touchdown in the first period. In the second, he confidently flipped a 4-yard pop pass to Ravian Pierce for the walk-off win. Syracuse’s offense clicked down the field with ease with DeVito taking snaps — the Orange scored as many points (20) in DeVito’s 5:07 and two overtime drives as it had in the 55 minutes prior — but he not only came on and looked competent. DeVito passed

Syracuse to a victory. He entered with a sevenpoint deficit and left with a three-point win in a game SU needed to have. “I just felt like we needed to do something different,” Babers said. “I just felt like they had a little bit of a bead on us. And when I say us, it’s not on (Dungey), it’s what we’re doing.” The point where DeVito has fully caught Dungey seems to be here, and the redshirt freshman has more room to grow. It’s no secret who the starting quarterback next year is going to be, but when that guy is good enough to play and win now, it’s beneficial to not only the current team but future iterations to ride with DeVito at quarterback. With DeVito, Syracuse is the best team it can be in the present and improves itself for the future. Syracuse releases a two-deep roster every Monday. Eric Dungey, from what Babers said, will still be the starter. But after watching the comeback he led against North Carolina, it has to be DeVito.

TIMBER TIME At SUNY-ESF, the Woodsmen team competes in timber sports By Kaci Wasilewski asst. copy editor

crowd of people stood around a rectangle of yellow caution tape. Inside, people hammered pieces of wood upright into platforms. Heather Morris, a member of the SUNY-ESF Woodsmen, and part of the women’s A team, revved her chainsaw to life. The sound overpowered the music playing in the distance as she approached the wooden block. “Competitor, are you ready?” the timer asked Morris. She nodded and began to slice. For one day in October, the grassy field across from the Nice N Easy in Tully becomes the home field for the SUNY-ESF Woodsmen team. Morris, a senior, is one of more than 25 members on the squad, which competes three to four times a semester. Athletes participate in singles, doubles and team events to earn points and help their respective teams win. Events include the fire build, cookie stack and hard hit. Saturday’s first-place finish for the women and second place for the men’s A teams came in the only home meet SUNY-ESF hosts all year, which gathered schools from across the northeast. “I was just looking at schools for lacrosse and I was looking at ESF and I was like do they have a lacrosse team and I was like nope but they have a timber sports team, that’s cooler,” Juliana Ofalt, a women’s A team member, said. For more than 100 years, timber sports have been a part of the SUNY-ESF athletic scene. It started out as the forestry club, coach and former SUNY-ESF Woodsmen team member Pat Craner said, before separating into its own team. In 2010 it see woodsmen page 10

Late in Sunday’s third set, Syracuse led North Carolina State by two points. With the two teams locked at one set apiece, SU sophomore Yuliia Yastrub leaped into the air and fired a spin serve. The ball rotated through the air and curved into the body of freshman Jade Parchment. She took a few confused steps backward as the ball approached. Her dig deflected off her left shoulder and fell onto the ground of the Women’s Building. That serve sparked a 7-2 spurt that put the Orange within three

points of winning the third set. “I just felt confident,” Yastrub said. “I was thinking that I needed to ace because we were going down and up and down.” Syracuse (12-6, 8-2 Atlantic Coast) used its serve to ignite runs in the first, third and fourth sets in a 3-1 win over NC State (1010, 4-6). All three times, Syracuse leaned on it to force the Wolfpack into making errors, senior Jalissa Trotter said. NC State committed six reception errors and the Orange had six aces, but senior Santita Ebangwese believes the
