The journey home

For five Scotsmen, a 3,238-mile cycling journey from Lockerbie to Syracuse was more than just a bike ride Story by Haley Kim

T

he low moans of bagpipes, thousands of miles from Scotland, reverberated across Syracuse University on Friday. Two pipers, wearing traditional green and purple tartan kilts, led five Scotsmen in orange and blue cycling uniforms to the memorial they had been preparing to visit for a year. They walked in unison, each gripping a thin bicycle. Their uniforms, still damp from the rainy ride from Utica, clung to their bodies, dirt slick on their backsides. Their eyes roamed the crowd of students, faculty, media and families. One nodded his head, and another pressed his fingers to his lips and blew a kiss. The cyclers reached the crowd and handed their bikes to waiting students. Then, they glanced at each other and embraced tightly. see cyclists page 4

Theta Tau controversy inspires student safety challenge By Gabe Stern staff writer

Student Association is organizing a Campus Safety Challenge to provide solutions to campus problems through innovation. The 24-hour hackathon-style event, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, will split students into teams to build technical solutions combating three campus problems: bias/racism, sexual assault/rape and mental wellness.

The event was inspired by the SU administration’s handling of the Theta Tau videos controversy in spring 2018, said David Fox, SA’s director of technology. Fox started talking about the idea two to three weeks into the fall 2018 semester, SA President Ghufran Salih said. Since then, he’s mostly worked independently to organize the event. The three categories are based on student feedback that Fox gathered by surveying students on campus. Before he sent out a Google feedback

form to a larger number of students, Fox said he asked students what they thought were most prevalent issues on campus, particularly from students in minority fraternities and sororities. He’s noticed a bias problem on campus for the past three years, Fox said. He said he has been stopped by SU’s Department of Public Safety while walking with friends to a minority fraternity party. The Theta Tau videos, which showed people using racial and ethnic slurs and miming the sexual

assault of a person with disabilities, were a reflection of what he’s seen in the SU campus culture for the past three years, Fox said. He added that the administration didn’t act in a way that he felt was “necessary” to the situation. SU permanently expelled the fraternity and suspended 14 students involved in the videos. “Seeing the Theta Tau video come out so publicly and exploiting that bias and racism that I’ve kind of seen ingrained in the culture here

for years,” he said. “It was kind of a wake-up call.” During last Monday’s assembly meeting, SA voted to fund the full $4,204 requested for the event. Fox said he’s raised close to $4,500 from outside sponsors. Kyle Rosenblum, SA’s vice president, said he is confident SU administrators will hear about the outcome of the event and could be open to solutions that could change the university. gkstern@syr.edu

Katko, Balter clash over healthcare, gun rights By Kailee Vick

contributing writer

Incumbent Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) leads Democrat challenger Dana Balter by 14 points for New York’s 24th Congressional District going into the midterm elections, according to a new poll released last week. Katko is running for his third term in the United States House of Representatives, after two successful campaigns in 2014 and 2016. Balter, a Connecticut native, is a visiting assistant teaching professor at Syracuse University. Here’s where the two candidates differ on major legislative issues:

Congressional reform

Katko, who is serving his second term, supports 12-year term limits for members of Congress. There are currently no limits on two-year Congress terms or six-year Senate terms. Balter, at a Q&A at SU, said she opposes term limits. She said she

wants to implement other methods of making sure congressional representatives are in place. Gerrymandering — designing boundaries of electoral constituencies to benefit a political party — is a reason why congresspeople aren’t representative of their areas, she said at the Q&A.

Gun rights

At a debate last week, both candidates expressed support for the Second Amendment, though they both said there was a gun violence problem in Syracuse. Each candidate had different solutions for tackling gun control. Balter said there needs to be stricter gun control legislation, which include universal background checks, while Katko said that he believes safe street task forces and stronger enforcement of current laws would get guns off the street. In July, Katko drafted a bill that would prevent people from owning guns if they are deemed a threat to

themselves or others.

Healthcare

Balter, who said in a campaign ad that she has a pre-existing condition, said she supports a Medicare for All program. Balter has also been endorsed by 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, which is the largest health care workers union in the country, representing more than 400,000 members. Katko opposes this idea and has argued it will drastically increase income taxes. Katko, who is also co-chair of the Congressional Mental Health Caucus, said he wants to replace the Affordable Care Act, but voted against Republican bills in 2017 to repeal the law because the party had not yet come up with an alternative. He and Balter both support efforts to lower the costs of prescription drugs and create medical malpractice reform, according to their respective campaign websites.

Taxes

Katko voted in favor of the 2017 Republican tax overhaul which gave tax breaks to businesses and individuals. In a video Katko posted on Facebook about a year ago, he said the bill, which was the largest overhaul to the tax code in more than 30 years, would benefit a majority of central New Yorkers. Balter has said she is against making the overhaul permanent. On her campaign website, she advocated for the creation of a “fair� tax policy.� If elected, she said she plans to particularly focus on restoring the 35 percent corporate tax rate that had been cut down to 21 percent, per Syracuse.com. In an essay Balter wrote for the Finger Lake Times, she said she wants to implement a tax policy with an emphasis on students, seniors, veterans and families. — Asst.

cyclists For the five Scottish men, these steps they took were the last few feet of a 3,238-mile journey that took them from Lockerbie, Scotland, to the Wall of Remembrance at SU. But they didn’t just prove it was possible to bike the distance from one continent to another. For the five cyclists, the days on the road were a time to reflect on Pan Am Flight 103, the plane that exploded over Lockerbie — a small town significant to each of them — 30 years ago. It was a journey for their own personal memories. For the next generation of people to call Lockerbie home. For the 270 victims of the 1988 terrorist attack, including 35 students studying through SU who never made it back to school. The journey was a bridge between the past and future, between Lockerbie and Syracuse. It was time to come home.

THE PLANE CRASH

When Colin Dorrance joined the Scottish police on August 5, 1988, he was the youngest officer on the force at 18 years old. He started his training at the police college that month and became a full officer by October. On December 21, 1988, Dorrance, in a collared shirt, tie and blazer, hopped into his car to travel to a Christmas party. Driving along a country road at about 7 p.m., he listened to the radio. The evening news had just finished, and the weather report was starting. Unknown to him, a bomb had just detonated in a Pan American Airways Boeing 747-121 that was flying over the town on its way to New York City. Only when Dorrance saw the explosion, illuminating the trees on a dark Lockerbie night, did he realize something was wrong. He was witnessing what was then the most deadly air disaster in the United Kingdom. Though Dorrance worked in a town 15 miles away, he stayed in Lockerbie as a first responder until January of the next year, working in the mortuary, processing passenger luggage and guarding the wreckage. When he went back to his usual operational duties, Pan Am Flight 103 became a subject he didn’t revisit. Dorrance distanced himself from the victims. As a policeman, it wasn’t professional. As an 18 year old, with no wife or kids, it was easier to handle.

You cannot flash by a relative who’s lost four people, including an unborn child, and say ‘We’ve got cycling to do,’ so something has to give. David Whalley cycle to syracuse participant

“You can deal with the dead bodies and you can deal with the process, but when you start to make it personal and they become real and it becomes emotional, so you kind of have to take a mental step away from it and just not go there,” Dorrance said. It’s how he viewed the disaster for 24 years until his daughter, Claire, traveled to Syracuse as a Lockerbie Scholar, part of the one-year scholarship program created by SU and Lockerbie Academy following the disaster. Five years later, his son Andrew would do the same. It was Dorrance’s children that made him revisit the plane crash that changed his life. “When Claire got the scholarship, she then started to meet some of the parents of these bodies that I actually handled,” Dorrance said. “It’s actually been quite nice to revisit it and understand what became of that family.” Dorrance has since hosted numerous tours of Lockerbie to SU students and faculty, including Chancellor Kent Syverud and his wife, Ruth Chen. Giving tours of the town has made Dorrance’s connection to the tragedy more personal, he said. In 2017, Dorrance began thinking about his planned retirement from the police force. The end of his 30-year career would coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster. He wanted to remind people in

Lockerbie and in the U.S. that people were still thinking about what had been lost three decades ago.

BUILDING CONNECTIONS

It was a matter of coincidences that brought the bike journey, officially called Cycle to Syracuse, together. When Dorrance and his wife Judith came to Syracuse last April to visit their son, they met Peg Northrup, director of operations at Hendricks Chapel. Northrup wanted to take them out to lunch at Varsity Pizza. After Northrup parked her white Nissan Rogue on Marshall Street, Dorrance noticed a sticker on the back of the car: a bicycle with yin and yang symbols as wheels. “Colin immediately looked at the sticker and said, ‘What does this mean?’” Northrup said. “And I said, ‘Oh, I’m a cyclist.’ And his wife went, ‘Oh, here we go.’” Northrup and Dorrance began chatting about Dorrance’s idea for Cycle to Syracuse, and she knew she wanted to help. Northrup became Cycle to Syracuse’s U.S. logistics coordinator, using her cycling network to plan routes and places to stay. She also connected Dorrance to key team members like Miles Ross, her neighbor and cycling friend, who became the group’s maintenance and support man. Back in Scotland, Dorrance gathered a number of cyclists who each represented the different first responders the night Pan Am Flight 103 crashed in Lockerbie. Paul Rae, who grew up with Dorrance in Lockerbie, represented the fire services. David “Heavy” Whalley was a team leader of the Royal Air Force’s mountain rescue service the night of the disaster. Brian Asher, headteacher of Lockerbie Academy, represented the relationship between Syracuse and Lockerbie. David Walpole was a banker who helped with the disaster relief fund in 1988 and is now a paramedic. He represented the ambulance service. Only Walpole had cycling experience. The other four trained specifically for Cycle to Syracuse. “If we’re all five professional cyclists, that might be a lot easier,” Dorrance said in October, before the ride began. “But we are not. We are still very much learning how we do this, which makes the journey that we are doing a challenge.” Dorrance was Cycle to Syracuse’s main organizer. He developed each stage of Cycle to Syracuse to encompass the phrase, “Look Back, Act Forward.” During September and October of the journey’s first stage, the five cyclists completed more than 2,600 miles of the journey and visited 12 primary schools in Lockerbie, explaining the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing and hosting bike rides. Cycle to Syracuse also started a campaign to raise money for Soul Soup, a local charity, to bring a mental health counselor to Lockerbie Academy. For the second stage of the trip, the team

The cyclers often pulled over to scenic locations, including in the Hudson Valley, to pause and enjoy their journey.

organized an 80-cyclist ride from Lockerbie to Edinburgh Castle, followed by a reception in the castle’s Great Hall. The third stage began on Oct. 26. The cyclists left the Lockerbie Memorial Cairn in Washington, D.C.’s Arlington National Cemetery and biked 600 miles through Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City to arrive in Syracuse on Thursday, representing the journey to bring the 35 student victims home. Cycle to Syracuse marked many of the men’s first times to New York and the U.S. They passed through the Hudson Valley, their ride along Route 9 framed by hills of trees with golden, sunset-colored leaves. They cycled through rural towns and major cities. Cycling gave them a chance to enjoy the sights of the U.S. at a slower pace. The ride wasn’t without stress. On the first day of cycling in Washington, D.C., the team was extremely disjointed, said Ross, the support van’s driver. The van, which carried bicycle maintenance supplies and drove along the shoulder of roads, was supposed to closely follow the last cycler of the group to protect them from other cars. He often couldn’t find the group because the GPS malfunctioned and the cyclists weaved in and out of traffic, Ross said. The team’s coordination eventually improved, but they faced challenges including physical illness and rain. The hustle of some of the mornings, with quick breakfasts and media requests, were not conducive to a good day of cycling, Ross said. Whalley got sick and sat in the van for a few days. When he checked into an emergency room in Syracuse, he found out he had bronchitis. Asher also sat out most of one day’s journey because he felt ill due to lack of sleep and nutrition. He accepted he needed a day of rest to be able to complete the rest of the journey.

Weather was also a concern. Several days of cycling were cold and rainy. If the cyclists took too long to rest, they could lose body heat and focus. When they were recharging with food and drinks, they sat in a heated RV. The cyclers also didn’t plan for the emotional strain that came with meeting victims’ families. Some visits were planned, like with the Monetti family in Philadelphia, who lost their son Richard, an SU student, on the plane. Others were not. Kelly Halsch and her father, Paul Halsch, who lost numerous family members in the bombing, flagged the cyclers on the side of the road as they biked through Maryland. Some people are only now coming to terms with memories from 30 years ago, Whalley said. As a result, the cyclists often didn’t bike the planned number of miles per day. Instead, they’d hop into the support van, RV or pickup truck to arrive at the next destination. “You cannot flash by a relative who’s lost four people, including an unborn child, and say ‘We’ve got cycling to do,’ so something has to give,” Whalley said. “And a huge give is what we are here for. What we are here for is getting kids home.” Cycle to Syracuse garnered attention from governments and residents alike. Oliver Mundell, a Member of Scottish Parliament for Dumfriesshire, explained Cycle to Syracuse’s mission on the floor of the Scottish Parliament. Mundell also flew to the U.S. and met the cyclists during some stops, like in New York City and Syracuse. The cyclists and support team met with Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador to the U.S., while in Washington, D.C. SU’s Lubin House also hosted a reception with the British Consul General of New York, Antony Phillipson.

Hiring therapists of color is critical SU should better promote vaccinations S yracuse University recently held its second annual Mental Health Week, and now weeks later, our campus has moved on to other things. While SU’s annual efforts are a step in the right direction, there’s more that can be done for minority communities, specifically by hiring therapists of color. For some people in the black community, mental health can be seen as a personal weakness and not a health issue. Living in a society that has institutionalized racism and discrimination is incredibly stressful. Mental health in communities of people of color is affected by generational impacts, Shamar Niang, a sophomore accounting student, said. “In communities filled with colored people we are often to taught to

just be quiet and get through it because our parents have had it worse,� Niang said. “... Everyone is just trying to survive, and when you know there are people living harder lives than yours, it is frowned upon to complain about your own.� Admitting that life is hard is like a “form of quitting,� Niang said. But this creates a never-ending cycle, because every person wants to “punish� the next. It’s important that trained professionals SU hires to help students on a diverse campus are aware of these issues. The best way to ensure this is to hire more therapists of color.

Rep. John Katko deserves a 3rd term

T

his year’s midterm elections present a unique challenge for people who are not strongly attached to a specific party. The Republicans seem to have built their entire national brand around fullthroated support of President Donald Trump’s agenda, while the Democrats have taken a starkly opposite tactic in opposing Trump at every turn. Consequently, this will be one of the most polarizing elections in modern memory — perhaps even more polarizing than the election that swept Trump into office in the first place. So if you find yourself in the middle of these two divergent messages, re-electing Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) is a good place to start. As of right now, FiveThirtyEight lists Katko as a roughly five in six favorite to win re-election over his Democratic opponent Dana Balter, a visiting assistant teaching professor at Syracuse University. A July poll showed Balter with a narrow lead, which brought money flooding in from across the country to support the challenger’s upset bid. But Katko has withstood the barrage, because central New York trusts him. When Katko was first elected in 2014, Trump was a celebrity, not a politician. At the same time, Katko promised to work across the aisle and advocate for policies that appealed to everyone. He has kept that promise, even in the new News Editor Editorial Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Illustration Editor Copy Chief Digital Editor Video Editor Asst.

NOT ENEMIES, BUT FRIENDS era of partisanship brought on by Trump’s election. Out of 26 current representatives from New York, Katko has been the most independent of his party in terms of his voting record. He broke with the Republican leadership on several key votes, including the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Balter’s campaign has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to tie Katko to Trump, but it hasn’t worked. Katko led by 14 percentage points in the most recent poll of the district, and he won comfortably in 2016 despite the district supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton for president. Activists on both sides are trying to make this election about Trump, but he’s not on the ballot. Katko is. And, unlike Trump, Katko doesn’t share this laser-focus on national issues. Katko’s campaign said one of Katko’s proudest moments in Congress was the passage of the bill he introduced, the Stop the Importation and Trafficking of Synthetic Analogues Act. “Inspired by the story of Oswego mother Teresa Woolson, who lost her son Victor to synthetic drugs he purchased legally, I introduced the bipartisan SITSA Act to arm law Asst.

enforcement with the necessary tools to crack down on these dangerous substances,� Katko said in a statement provided by his campaign. “Moving forward, I will continue in Congress to take steps to help Central New York combat the heroin and synthetic drug epidemic.� Of course, there are some people who are so opposed to Trump that they cannot support anyone from his party. To those people, I would say that we don’t know who will control the House of Representatives after these midterms. But whoever it is, central New York will always need a representative that will be an independent leader and accomplish things at the federal level that make life better here. Katko was doing that before Trump was elected, and if we let him, he’ll keep doing that when Trump is gone — whether that’s 2020 or 2024. Balter, for her part, is a great candidate. She’s a credit to her party, SU, and central New York, and would be a good representative, as well. But at the end of the day, she’s promising — backed up by zero political experience — to do what Katko has already been doing for four years. As the old saying goes, “don’t fix what ain’t broke.�

F

lu season is in full swing at Syracuse University yet again, but as I look around campus I am underwhelmed by the lack of promotion for vaccination clinics. College campuses are a breeding ground for germs, making it extremely easy for illnesses like the flu to spread rapidly amongst students and faculty. Time and time again, vaccines have been scientifically proven as safe and effective methods to prevent disease. Not only this, but the more people who get vaccinated, the greater chance herd immunity will occur – providing a measure of protection for those that are not immune. While I understand that some may have moral, religious, or other personal reasons to decline vaccinations, many students neglect this important health practice simply because of

lack of awareness of the services offered on campus. “Out of sight and out of mind� is a common saying, but it is not one that should be used when talking about getting your flu shot. While the information regarding these clinics has been briefly mentioned in a few emails and sparsely posted on bulletin boards around campus, I believe we can and should be doing so much more. We need signs on the Quad detailing dates and times. We need text alerts sent to all students and faculty, social media advertisements and clinics that are accessible and available to everyone. We are a school with great resources, so let’s make them known and keep our campus healthy.

cyclists The team organized access to some of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks. The team’s Oct. 13 ride to Edinburgh Castle was special, Asher said, because the castle is a symbol of Scotland for both natives and foreigners. The castle’s Great Hall is rarely used for public receptions. The significance of cycling through the capital city with a pipe band escorting them through closed-off streets was not lost, Asher said. The weather made the 70-mile journey to the castle difficult. It was raining so hard that the cyclists’ feet were submerged in puddles for complete pedals. But the number of friends, family and other community members on the streets, waving and shouting despite the rain, made him proud, said Rae, who grew up in Lockerbie. Government officials and Scottish residents weren’t the only ones following Cycle to Syracuse. In the U.S., people on the street noticed the team’s bright orange sweatshirts and Scottish accents and asked about what they were doing, Walpole said. On the final day of biking from Utica to Syracuse, the five cyclists received a police escort. Cars honked and drivers waved, and the cyclists waved back. “I remember day one, saying to Colin, ‘These people know who we are,’” Walpole said. “They’re not just tooting the horn, waving.” Families of victims traveled to New York City, some from as far as California and South Carolina, to meet the cyclers as they arrived in Central Park. But many of the connections were coincidental. The cyclists met a construction worker in front of the team’s Washington, D.C. hotel that had a relative on Pan Am Flight 103, Walpole said. At SU, Larry Mason, a professor of photography and the Remembrance and Lockerbie Ambassador, distributed buttons to SU community members representing all 270 victims of the Pan Am Flight 103 attack. Asher received a button with the name Judith Bernstein Atkinson. During a Friday reception at SU, Asher was speaking to a couple when the man looked

closely at Asher’s button. Asher’s button had the name Judith on it, which happened to be the man’s sister-in-law’s name. Judith had also studied to be a teacher. The cyclists met an 85-year-old woman on the road. This woman, Whalley said, told the cyclists that she can die happy now that her daughter has come home. “Beautiful, beautiful woman. And I kind of looked at her,” Whalley said, “and just started crying.”

A NEW SEASON

As important as it was to honor the victims from 30 years ago, the cyclists also understood the importance of looking forward. It’s important for future generations of Lockerbie children to know the history of the town, Asher said, but also to focus on the positive connections that came out of the disaster.

cycle to syracuse participant

During the first stage of Cycle to Syracuse in September, the cyclists visited Lockerbie schools to teach students about Pan Am Flight 103. Many of the children already had some knowledge of the disaster, Dorrance said, which took the cyclists by surprise. Cycle to Syracuse also exceeded its goal in raising money for a local charity called Soul Soup. The team reached its target of raising 10,000 pounds before even reaching Syracuse. The money will bring a mental health counselor to Lockerbie Academy, which currently doesn’t one, Asher said. It’s important to help children to talk about their problems if needed, he said. It was an especially personal goal for Asher himself as

his daughter has struggled with mental health issues, he added. “I now want to make sure with any opportunity I have that I plug any gap that there might be to help youngsters who are in that sort of difficult place,” Asher said. “We can see physical health — it shows on the outside. Mental health doesn’t. And that’s why we need to work harder to make it easy for kids to get help.” When Dorrance attended the annual Remembrance Week Rose Laying Ceremony, he wore his formal black police uniform, complete with a hat and white gloves, for the last time. Despite officially retiring in August, Friday marked the end of his 30-year career. Dorrance didn’t feel as emotional as he thought he would, he said. Rather, he felt content and at peace. “Just like the leaves are falling from the trees here, there’s a time for a different season,” Dorrance said. “And I feel that I am going into a different season.” Cycle to Syracuse has helped strengthen the bond between not just Syracuse University and Lockerbie Academy, but Syracuse and

Lockerbie, Dorrance said. The journey has created dialogue and brought forward people who haven’t spoken about Pan Am 103 before. When the cyclists visited the Lockerbie schools, they spoke to children as young as four to 18 years old, Dorrance said. This should ensure that for years more, students will understand the significance of Pan Am Flight 103. The students took photos with a shepherd’s crook, a gift the cyclists were bringing to SU that represents the town’s sheep farming history, Dorrance said. During the reception of the cyclists’ arrival, Dorrance presented the crook and a signature book, which was signed by all the students the cyclists visited in Lockerbie. One day, Dorrance hopes those students will visit Syracuse to find their names. As Dorrance spoke — surrounded by the cyclists and the support team, university officials, faculty, students and members of victims’ families — the leaves from the trees rustled in the breeze. They were falling. hykim100@syr.edu

American High, a full-service production company in Liverpool, is finishing its fifth feature film since opening for business last year. The company has partnered with local colleges, including Syracuse University, to offer internships for film students. hieu nguyen asst. photo editor

Hometown Hollywood Production company finishes fifth film in Liverpool middle school By Jordan Lanzisk staff writer

O

n a rainy October afternoon, Jeremy Garelick sat in his makeshift office. Wearing a gray Liverpool Warriors sweatshirt, he explained the New York state tax incentive that allowed him to set up shop in the small town. But to Garelick, it’s not about the money. “We’re here because we chose to be here,” he said. “We planted our flag.” Garelick is the founder and president of American High, a full-service film production company

operating out of an old middle school building. Garelick and his co-producers named the building “Syracuse Studios” when they purchased it in August 2017. Today, the company is finishing up their final week of production for their fifth film since opening for business last year. While the New York native turned Los Angeles-implant has worked to give back to the area, Garelick and his company weren’t always welcomed with open arms. He said the people of Liverpool, a northwest suburb of Syracuse with a population of about 2,000, had doubts about whether or not American High would follow up on its promises of bringing in good jobs and stirring the economic pot.

Just a few years before the production company moved in, a state-built studio in the neighboring suburb of DeWitt flopped and left taxpayers up in arms. The Central New York Film Hub was funded by donors of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who are now facing federal corruption charges, according to The New York Times. Built under the assumption that the studio would benefit the community, Central New York Film Hub remained mostly vacant since its completion in 2015 and was recently purchased for just $1. But going into the move, Garelick didn’t know what he was up against. American High was plagued see movie page 8

slice of life

VPA professor to have artwork featured in Smithsonian By Christopher Cicchiello contributing writer

Every two years, the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery selects four artists to take part in a massive exhibition, where the artists share an expansive full floor to showcase their work. This year’s exhibition, opening on Nov. 9, will feature work from Sharif Bey,

an associate professor of art education at Syracuse University. “Having my artwork put into the Renwick got me sentimental,” said Bey, whose passion for art was ignited at a young age. Although Bey comes from an artistic family, he was the only child out of 12 to seriously pursue it as a career. Bey’s father taught him to whittle as a child, and the rest

was history. Growing up in Pittsburgh, where gang violence was rapidly increasing, Bey’s parents were happy to see him occupy his time with art. In fourth grade, Bey was invited to be a part of the Carnegie Museum of Art’s program, The Art Connection, the same one Andy Warhol was in. It allowed him to set himself apart from family

members and made his image as an artist more serious. As for what drew him to potterymaking, his close relationship with his ceramics teacher at such a young age propelled the rest of his career. Ever since then, Bey has lived out his passion, existing in creative spaces every moment he could get. Peter Beasecker, a professor of studio arts specializing in ceram-

ics at SU’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, said he was excited to see Bey’s work receiving so much recognition. “Dr. Bey has been a professional artist for over 20 years, and it is extremely gratifying to see one of the most esteemed art institutions in the country acknowledge the strength of his work and vision as an see smithsonian page 8

movie early on by skepticism from locals. “People like their quiet community,” he said. “A lot of people liked this building kind of sitting here empty, versus looking outside and having a hundred cars in the parking lot and not knowing who’s coming and who’s going.” Will Phelps, head of production, said that the production team immersed themselves in the Liverpool community to earn the trust of the area, including those who live in the residential neighborhood where Syracuse Studios, the building that American High operates out of, is located. Garelick, Phelps and Michael Schade, a producer at American High, even live together down the block. “When we’re here, we live in a house down the street altogether,” Phelps said. “Every hour of every day is pretty much spent working either at the house or (the studio).” Schade added that American High has built a team of 50 to 60 crew members from the local community who have spent holidays from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July with the production team. “There’s a level of responsibility that we feel to try and keep this going,” Schade said. “Not only for ourselves, but for them, too.” Garelick added that the company has not only made a financial investment in central New York from page 7

smithsonian artist,” Beasecker said. Bey said he was first approached about the exhibition last September, when he received an email from the Renwick Gallery asking if he was “interested” in showcasing his work. “Once the curators invited me, it was apparent more people were watching me than I thought,” Bey said. Bey has 25 pieces in the show titled “Disrupting Craft,” which contextualizes how people can engage with various art practically, socially and politically. Bey said this

— which he estimated to be near $8 million — but an educational investment, as well. The production company has hired students from several upstate colleges and universities to full-time positions, including 16 from Syracuse University, four from Onondaga Community College and three from Le Moyne College. Garelick said they look to SU for interns, who, while unpaid, can receive compensation in the form of academic credit. American High’s commitment to education in central New York has already contributed to SU’s film department being ranked No. 22 in The Hollywood Reporter’s 2018 list of the top 25 film schools in the U.S. Garelick believes that in the years to come, SU could break the top 20 — and eventually the top 10 — if American High continues its growth. The production company doesn’t just make headlines for its accomplishments. During the past summer, Pete Davidson and Machine Gun Kelly were in central New York to star in “Big Time Adolescence” — the production company’s fourth film. Later, Davidson said Syracuse is “trash” and “worse than Staten Island” in an interview with Howard Stern. But press or no press, Garelick has plans to keep up his unprecedented pace of producing films. “We’re pretty much in production or prep or wrapping up all the time,” said Garelick, whose previous writing credits include “The Break-Up” (2006), “The Hangover” (2009)

and “The Wedding Ringer” (2015), which he also directed. Filming for “Sid is Dead,” which they’re currently producing, will be completed the week before Thanksgiving. Garelick said the goal is having a final product edited and ready for distribution by Valentine’s Day 2019. But

some of the company’s work is already out — “Best.Worst.Weekend.Ever.” was released for streaming as a Netflix original in October. “At the end of the day,” Garelick said, “whether we’re successful or not, we’re going to have a great story to tell.”

exhibit is especially meaningful because, for the first time, he was able to exhibit three types of work that are typically categorized as three different disciplines: African pots, necklaces and multi-medium pieces incorporating iron nails. Even to the untrained eye, there is an undeniable African style incorporated into the majority of Bey’s work. Bey said that the African style paired with his exploration of the distinguished “cultural utilitarianism” of the bowls, pots and cups from this continent is what ultimately drew him to adopt this style in his own work. But, he said, it was not an active decision.

“I am a collector of African objects ... I think it was almost through osmosis that my inspiration came from what I saw on walls, into my work,” Bey said. Bey will deliver a talk in tandem with a demonstration on Jan. 29 in the exhibition galleries. He also plans to include a segment where he advocates for the arts and their “transformative powers.” But Bey does not believe his work is an expression of himself, but rather the energies he puts into them. “Art gives me a space to create chaos or peace,” Bey said. “To me, it’s about funneling energies. This is the space where I engage or disengage. But it’s uniquely my experience.”

When looking at his work through the lenses of chaos and peace, the balance becomes clear. On one of his pots, a bird sits perched on the lid, seemingly oblivious to the jagged shards of pottery protruding from the body of the pot. Looking back, Bey said the opportunity to continue his passion for art is a privilege, since many people don’t have the opportunity to live out their passions through their occupation. “Life is like a storm, and art is what grounds you,” Bey said. “I feel sorry for someone who has not yet discovered it.”

‘Beer nerd’ Heritage Hill Brewhouse & Kitchen, located on Sweet Road in Pompey, celebrated its grand opening on Oct. 12.

N

estled on a working farm atop the rolling slopes of Pompey, with a view overlooking central New York, Heritage Hill Brewhouse & Kitchen now serves locally grown food and its own in-house craft beers in a space steeped in family history. Heritage Hill, located at 3149 Sweet Road, celebrated its grand opening on Oct. 12. Owner Dan Palladino decided to open the brewhouse as a way to keep the family business, Palladino Farms, financially viable for future generations. “I wanted my kids to have the same type of experience that I did,” Palladino said. “I just felt that all the values I had came from those times.” Palladino said he hopes the quality of the brews and the friendly atmosphere Heritage Hill offers will help the restaurant stand out in an increasingly competitive craft beverage industry in New York state. Since 2012, the number of craft breweries in the state has doubled, according to a June press release from the office of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, with 30 new breweries in central New York alone. Paul Leone, executive director of the New York State Brewers Association, attributed this growth to state policies that encourage small local beverage manufacturers, as well as millennials’ desire for local products. Heritage Hill benefited from those state policies, Palladino said. Some experts fear favorable laws will cause the craft beverage industry to outgrow its demand and then collapse, said Micheal Coons, academic administrator and head brewer at SUNY Morrisville. But Palladino said he’s not worried about his prospects. “The market doesn’t get saturated with things that are unique,” Palladino said. One thing that Palladino said is distinct about Heritage Hill is its emphasis on local food. The restaurant sources nearly all of its ingredients in state, using butter from Hamilton, goat cheese from Cuyler and hops from

Family-owned brewhouse is crafted with local flavor By Madeleine Davison staff writer

Kirkville, Wolcott and Fabius. Cazenovia chef Alicyn Hart — previously known for serving hyperlocal cuisine at her restaurant, Circa — now runs the kitchen. Heritage Hill’s family roots also set it apart, Palladino said. The brewhouse sits on land that’s been in his family since 1951, when his grandfather established Palladino Farms. The house brewer, John Frazee, also grew up on a dairy farm in Fabius. Palladino said he and his brother Mark were brainstorming ideas for their restaurant’s name and stumbled on the word “heritage.” The meaning seemed to be a perfect fit for their mission. “I go, ‘Oh my God, that’s what we are, it’s got to be “heritage,”’” Palladino said. “It really captures everything about our family, about John’s family. It was really natural.” Even the building’s interior design harkens back to Palladino’s past. Wood from the tree Mark and he used to play in as kids now forms the surface of the bar and many of the tabletops inside the restaurant. So far, Palladino said customers seem excited to learn about his family history and try the restaurant’s local offerings, and the number of customers has exceeded his expectations. Palladino said he had planned to initially hire nine employees but had to increase that number to 17 because of the crowds. He said the brewhouse has attracted visitors of all kinds — families with children, retirees, “beer nerds.”

On a Friday night at about 7 p.m., the venue was packed. People lined the bar and filled the seating area. The wait for a table was more than an hour long. Palladino worked the bar and mingled with customers, sharing jokes and stories. “The food is a work in progress,” said Genoa Wilson from Fayetteville, who was leaving after having soup, salad and beers with Bruce Erickson. “It’s farm-totable, it’s probably local cuisine, so they’re giving it their best shot … the beer is absolutely fabulous.” Wilson said the two were drawn to the restaurant because of the craft beers and the locally grown hops. “We’ll come back for the beer and the steaks,” said Erickson, also from Fayetteville. Tom Woodford III, from Tully, said he loved the family atmosphere and the focus on local food and family business. He and his friend Chris Rhea, from Pompey, have both been to Heritage Hill multiple times since it opened. They both said they loved Heritage Hill’s signature “Route 20 East” New England IPA. Rhea, who lives just over the hill from Palladino Farms, said he came to hang out even before the brewhouse officially opened. “I would bring my kids to run around, and the music was always great,” Rhea said. “And also the view is just amazing.” Palladino said he believes that, during the summer, the milder weather and the spectacular views on top of Sweet Road will bring customers in droves. But for now, he’s excited about the support Heritage Hill has been getting from the community. A few local restaurants have approached him about having Heritage Hill beers on tap, and he’s planning to partner with a ski lodge that will serve its beers during the winter. “I did always want to have a restaurant … but I didn’t assume that was possible.” Palladino said. “It’s been everything I’d hoped it would be.” mdavison@syr.edu

Syracuse beats Penn State on road, 5-2 By Tim Nolan staff writer

After a gritty performance by Syracuse’s defense Saturday, the offense took center stage in State College on Saturday. The Orange (4-6, 4-2 College Hockey America) defeated Penn State (4-7-1, 0-4-0), 5-2, in part by tallying 34 shots. The win completes SU’s first undefeated weekend of the season. Freshman Marielle McHale opened the scoring for the Orange just under four minutes into the game. Emma Polaski scored later in the period to give SU a two-goal advantage. For most of the second period, Penn State was the aggressor, scoring two goals within 30 seconds of each other to tie the score. Then, with 1:59 remaining in the period, junior Anonda Hoppner backhanded a rebound past PSU’s Jenna Brenneman to regain the lead, 3-2. Sophomore Victoria Klimek scored her first goal of the season midway through the third period to return SU to their two-goal advantage. Senior Brooke Avery finished the scoring with an empty netter, her fourth goal of the season. Graduate defender Dakota Derrer left the game due to a knee injury with 5:41 to play in the third. PSU’s Brooke Madsen was given a 10-minute game misconduct penalty for boarding Derrer. The Orange returns to Tennity Ice Pavilion this Saturday to face Princeton at 2 p.m. tnolan@syr.edu

schafer under Babers legitimized SU. “We’ve had some bad luck on the road. We finally get that monkey off our back,” Babers said. “… We’re talking about a bunch of guys that have been in college four or five years and have never had a winning season ... Can’t say enough about what they’ve done to change this culture here at Syracuse University and give us an opportunity to do greater things in the future. “Regardless of whatever happens, they’re going to be known as the class that got this thing turned around and headed back in the right direction.” It’s taken a while to buy into the most exciting Syracuse season since 2001, when the majority of this roster wore diapers. When Syracuse beat Florida State in September for the first time in 52 years, it had the feeling of this year’s rendition of the Clemson upset. Then two weeks later, Syracuse led Clemson by 10 in the fourth quarter before succumbing to running back Travis Etienne and the Tiger rushing attack. The Orange allowed 305 rushing yards rushing to Tiger running backs. Against Pittsburgh the next week, from page 12

Guthrie is in the midst of a three-game tear, most recently turning in an 11-tackle (five solo) performance that featured two sacks. Against the pass and the run, Guthrie found the football and made several tackles in space. He chased down a Wake Forest receiver inside the 10-yard line. Twice, Guthrie got to Hartman. On his second sack, Guthrie came downhill at Hartman as he rolled left out of the pocket. With no blockers, Guthrie pounced on the quarterback

Two wins out of the bye week, including a 10-point win over then-No. 22 North Carolina State, proved Syracuse could compete in the Carrier Dome as it had in past years. Last Sunday’s AP Poll ranked Syracuse for the first time in 17 years, and the Orange made its inaugural appearance in the College Football Playoff rankings. Still, the prospects of Syracuse’s season were murky. The Orange “should” beat Wake Forest. It couldn’t be said with certainty. They hadn’t won a conference road game since 2016. Without it, how good could they be? So when SU trailed Wake Forest by 10 points not halfway through the first quarter, it looked like Pittsburgh all over again. As Wake Forest often dropped seven or eight players into coverage, Dungey’s passes sailed over Sean Riley’s head on the sideline, or behind him on a slant, or landed in Jamal Custis hands only to be batted away by a lurking defender. After three drives totaled 14 yards, Syracuse, which has been defined by its passing

game under Babers, pivoted to a heavy run game. The Orange finished with 107 more rushing yards than it threw for and scored all five of its touchdowns on the ground. They allowed 11 points in the final three quarters, tallied five sacks and increased their season total to 27. Syracuse passed the test. “At some point, it clicked in the majority of this team’s mind that you were recruited for a reason,” junior defensive end Kendall Coleman said on Oct. 30. “This is DI, Power 5, ACC football, and they suit up just like we do. Let’s go fight and find out who’s better.” Marquee wins over ranked opponents in the Carrier Dome sprinkled in hope during Babers’ first two seasons, but not consistency. In Year 3, Syracuse has advanced one step further. A conference win on the road is the mark of a competitive football team. Syracuse, which hasn’t lost in the Carrier Dome this season, will handle 2-7 Louisville on Friday night in Dungey’s final home game. With two Top-25 opponents looming before a bowl game to close the season, Syracuse is in the bonus. Babers promised a return to prominence. Open your eyes. It’s reality. Syracuse football is back.

STOCK DOWN Health

With linebacker Lakiem Williams and Melifonwu missing with injuries, Syracuse got further banged up Saturday, as defensive back Tyrone Perkins, defensive end Alton Robinson and running back Moe Neal all went down with injuries. Neal and Robinson both walked off the field and appeared to be OK after the game. Babers didn’t offer much detail on the nature of their injuries but generally indicated they’re fine. Perkins spent Saturday night in a local from page 12

de hoog of three seasons at the helm. She continued to work in tennis until February of this year at 78 years old. “No matter where she went or what she was wearing, everybody knew who she was,” Victor said. “You could go to California, and somebody would say, ‘Oh there’s Rosemary.’” Thirty years ago, her son said, people recognized her in public only if she was wearing a tennis outfit. That changed quickly. Her son, who also works at Drumlins as a certified tennis professional, referred to her as a “local star” because of her work in the community. When DeHoog began her tennis career, it was in an era when female representation was limited. “During the summertime in the ‘70s or ‘80s (at Harry Hopman Tennis Academy in Florida), they would have about 50 courts going, and there was not a single woman giving instruction,” said Steve Pekich, district president of western New York for the United States Tennis Association. “There was resistance to letting women teach and be officers. It was her perseverance, and the fact that she was so professional and assertive, and that she was playing alongside Billie Jean King.” After she graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1960, she asserted herself in a mendominated sport. In 1993, she became president of the U.S. Professional Tennis Association Eastern Division, the east coast branch of a national organization that certifies tennis trainers and coaches, and managed the local chapter of the National Organization of Women. From 1987 to 1989, she served as the president of Orange Plus, an organization supporting women’s athletics at SU. The USPTA awarded DeHoog with the Tex Schwab Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002 and later inducted her into the USPTA Eastern Hall of Fame. In 2007, she was the first woman named a master professional, the highest title given by the USPTA. This ranked her among the top five percent of tennis teaching professionals. The consistent message from past students of DeHoog’s was that there was no easy session. Yet people came back for more and more.

Scoop Bradshaw

Bradshaw got beat twice on double moves by Scotty Washington. The first time, Hartman overthrew Washington. He didn’t miss the second chance, as Washington easily strode into the end zone. Late in the game, while the game was in hand for SU, Bradshaw got called for a facemask in a scrum of tacklers. A week after being torched by Kelvin Harmon, Bradshaw had another bad performance. andrew.graham@dailyorange.com @A_E_Graham

“When I was done with a lesson (with Rosemary), I was so exhausted,” said Nancy Benson of Dewitt, New York. “You did not stay still for a minute. You were busy learning, running around, learning net shots and serving.” DeHoog worked closely with one of her favorite players, Billie Jean King, who was ranked No. 1 in the world for five years. Because of King’s fame, she was able to help drive DeHoog’s women in tennis initiatives forward, Victor said. On Saturday evening, more than 100 people attended a celebration of her life at Drumlins, including former students, family, friends, colleagues and community members. One of her most prized possessions, her Mazda Miata, which she enjoyed riding with the top down, was parked out front of the facility. She loved cross-country road trips in that car with her family, they said. She made long trips with her then-90-year-old mother, Edythe Luther, and also made three trips with her grandson, Joshua DeHoog, now a part-time employee at Drumlins. She was the founding member and vice president of the Midstate Miata Club of New York. DeHoog drove her Miata to both of Benson’s sons’ weddings, who she taught for years after she taught Benson. The celebration on Saturday spread from the waiting area at Drumlins onto Rosemary DeHoog Court, where her accolades are permanently showcased on one end of the court. Benches were set up with photos, and a table was set up for attendees to write some of their favorite memories on tennis ball-themed paper and tie it to the net on her court. A printout of her favorite phrases to use on the court — known commonly as “Rosemaryisms” — was framed on a table. Some of the phrases include: “make your move,” “watch the ball off the strings,” and “don’t back away – step up.” While the Muskegon, Michigan native didn’t grow up in central New York, the community made it seem as if they had known her forever. DeHoog is survived by her daughter Stephanie Gale of Port Townsend, Washington and son Victor of Syracuse, as well as her four grandchildren Joshua, Olivia, Cecilia and Ismay. She is also survived by her sister Rosellen Brewer of Pacific Grove, California and her brother Lynn Luther of Swartz Creek, Michigan. kmintz@syr.edu

BACK IN BUSINESS

DeHoog, local tennis icon, dies at 79 By Kenneth Mintz staff writer

Syracuse’s 41-24 win over Wake Forest was its first conference road win since 2016. The victory was also the Orange’s first November win in the Dino Babers era at SU. josh shub-seltzer staff photographer

W

INSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Chris Fredrick paraded down the sidelines, celebrating Syracuse’s third turnover of the game which sealed a 41-24 win over Wake Forest. It was the first weekend of November. It was the same weekend that came after victories over Virginia Tech in 2016 and Clemson in 2017, the wins that were supposed to solidify Dino Baber’s “belief without evidence.� It was also the weekend that, for the past three seasons, featured a conference road loss, an Eric Dungey injury, and the start of downhill spirals for Syracuse’s oncepromising seasons. After Paul Pasqualoni left in 2004, Syracuse recorded three winning seasons leading up to 2018. Scott Shafer, who preceded Babers as head coach, once negated a loss by saying it’s more important to discuss ISIS. The next season, he hyped the Orange’s first 3-0 start in 24 years, only to fire his offen-

sive coordinator a month later en route to a 4-8 season. After the final game of that 2015 season, Syracuse’s last November victory, players carried Shafer off the field. So in December 2015, when Syracuse head coach Dino Babers challenged media and fans to close their eyes and believe, there was nothing to lose. But after Babers famously declared the Carrier Dome “Our House� after an upset of then-No. 17 Virginia Tech, it didn’t win at home again all season. After Syracuse upset then-No. 2 Clemson and Babers said he came to Syracuse for “games that mattered,� it lost the final five games of the season. But now it’s time to believe Babers and No. 19 Syracuse. Syracuse’s season this year won’t be remembered by six wins and a trip to a bowl game. In 2018, Syracuse’s first November win under Dino Babers cemented the program’s first winning regular season since 2012. On the weekend that’s haunted Syracuse, it’s second road ACC win

Out of the window at Drumlins Tennis Center, Syracuse logos are plastered on the curtains of the courts, and posters of the SU women’s tennis team line the far wall about 100 yards away. But on the far side of the first court, the DEHOOG words “Rosemary DeHoog Court� are inscribed in white capital letters. For spectators that look out the window, the memories flow back. In February, her name was officially ingrained in the tennis center’s history. A tennis player, coach and community member, DeHoog has been an integral part of the Syracuse tennis community for more than 41 years, including as she battled breast cancer. DeHoog died on Oct. 25 due to complications caused by breast cancer. She was 79. “It meant a lot to her emotionally because she worked on this court for over 40 years,� said her son, Victor DeHoog. “The fact that she got recognition for her hard work helps to culminate a career when you can see that people appreciate how much you’ve done for them.� A tennis legend in the community, she started working at Wolf Hollow Racquet Club, now Drumlins, as a staff professional in 1970 and was promoted to head tennis professional two years later in 1972. As part of her responsibilities, she taught physical education classes as an adjunct professor at SU. She held that position until 2004. Back then, there were only four courts at Drumlins, Club Director Marion Nies said. Then, in 2008, DeHoog took a head coaching job with the Le Moyne women’s tennis team. She led the team to the conference championships in two see de

Dungey, Fredrick and Guthrie’s stocks rise after 41-24 win By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – No. 19 Syracuse racked up 264 yards on the ground Saturday, running in five touchdowns and picking up a 41-24 win against Wake Forest at BB&T Field. Behind 119 rushing yards from Eric Dungey and a dominant day from the front seven — including a strong individual performance from middle linebacker Ryan Guthrie — SU won its first ACC game in November during the Dino Babers era. Here’s whose stock rose and fell from the weekend.

STOCK UP Chris Fredrick

Despite nursing a sprained ankle, Fredrick made seven tackles and snagged an interception in the fourth quarter. Lined up wide against Scotty Washington on the left side, Fredrick played inside the receiver as the pair ran into the end zone. Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman’s throw came to the inside of Washington, right into Fredrick’s hands. Without Ifeatu Melifonwu, who didn’t travel due to a hamstring injury, and Scoop Bradshaw struggling on the other side of the formation, Fredrick was a steady presence in the secondary.

Eric Dungey

Dungey didn’t throw a touchdown pass on Saturday, but it didn’t matter — SU opted to attack Wake Forest on the ground. With the Demon Deacons honed in on passes, Babers made the adjustment to run the ball. His workhorse of choice: Dungey. The senior quarterback took 24 rushes for 119 yards and a touchdown. Facing a weak pass rush, Dungey felt little duress, but with no options downfield, he often opted to dash from the pocket. He took a 26-yard scramble for a dagger touchdown in the third quarter that put Syracuse ahead 35-17, at the time. see stocks page 10
