Martin J. Whitman, school namesake, dies By Jordan Muller and Sam Ogozalek the daily orange

Martin J. Whitman, the major Syracuse University donor whom SU named its business school for, died Monday night, the university announced Tuesday afternoon. He was 93. E u g e n e Anderson, the current dean WHITMAN of the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, in an email to Whitman students at about 2 p.m. Tuesday said he extended his condolences to the family, who visited campus earlier this month for the university’s annual “Whitman Day.” A cause of death was not included in Anderson’s email. Whitman, a 1949 SU graduate, was an Honorary Trustee of the university at the time of his death. He was first elected to the Board of Trustees in 2003, the same year SU dedicated its business school in his name. He was the founder and co-chief investment officer of Third Avenue Management in New York City, a private investment firm with millions of dollars in assets.

Carl MacEwen, a junior finance major who was in the business school’s atrium Tuesday afternoon, said he heard Whitman give a speech when he visited SU near the beginning of April. “He seemed upbeat, really lively,” MacEwen said. “So it was just shocking to really hear about it.” A handful of students in the business school Tuesday afternoon said they didn’t have a personal connection to Whitman. But some said he meant a lot to the SU community, even if they hadn’t met him. Ben Houle, a sophomore supply chain management major, said Whitman was still involved in the business school at his time of death. “His passing definitely leaves a mark on the university,” Houle said. SU’s business school was dedicated in Whitman’s name after he and his wife, Lois, made a donation to the university. The school was originally named the College of Business Administration. With the donation, SU built a new 160,000-square-foot building where the school is currently located at the intersection of Marshall Street and University Avenue. Whitman supported several initiatives at SU, including the

Community provides input on next police chief staff writer

Syracuse residents gathered on the Northside on Tuesday night to provide feedback to city officials about what they want to see in a new police chief. Current Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler will retire at the end of this year, and Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens has been hosting public forums for the community to provide input on who the city should hire to fill his position. Owens said the main goal of the forums is to get some feedback from the community through engagement. “We want to get away from the perception of the police as just a car riding through the neighborhood,” Owens said. At St. Lucy’s Church on Gifford Street, about 50 people spread out around tables to discuss questions about the search process. The questions ranged from what their experiences have been with the Syracuse Police Department to what a new police chief could do for

A group of about 30 local elected officials, activists and concerned residents gathered Tuesday afternoon outside Rep. John Katko’s (R-Camillus) office in downtown Syracuse to protest his support for the controversial Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The rally took place on Tax Day, the deadline for residents in the United States to file their taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduces the corporate tax rate by 14 percent and decreases the estate tax. Working-class families will pay less in taxes through additional deductions, including a bigger child tax credit. But those deductions will be phased out in 2026. Democrats and some policy experts say the legislation disproportionately benefits “1 percenters” and corporations. “What we were promised were lower taxes, higher wages and job creation,” said Jessica Bumpus, a member of Indivisible Syracuse, a grassroots political organization that aims to inform local residents about their representatives’ positions on political issues. “What we got is higher taxes and threats to our critical public programs.” Helen Hudson, president of Syracuse’s Common Council, attended the protest.

Hudson said she will only receive a $512 tax decrease under the new law, which Congress narrowly passed late last year. “For me, it’s about standing up,” she said. “It’s about telling the big conglomerates and our Congress folks this is not working.” Individuals who earn more than $1 million a year will receive the largest tax benefit from the bill, saving an average of $69,660, according an NPR analysis. Katko was not in attendance, but organizers of the rally brought a cardboard cutout of the congressman to the protest. The cutout was covered in stickers representing corporations that have donated to his reelection campaign. One of those companies, the Blackstone Group, has given $16,200 to Katko’s 2018 campaign. Blackstone is a multinational private equity and asset management firm. After the tax bill passed in January, Katko released a statement expressing support for the legislation. The tax rate for utility companies has decreased, and companies are passing those benefits on to taxpayers, he said. Union leader Ann Marie Taliercio said that while companies such as National Grid see large benefits from the bill, people like her “see it in pennies.” Taliercio is president of

Man waves knife, gets arrested near SU By Andrew Graham and Sam Ogozalek the daily orange

The Department of Public Safety and Syracuse police responded to a road rage incident near South Campus on Tuesday afternoon after a man got out of his vehicle and waved a knife in the air, police said. A man was arrested on the charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, menacing in the second degree and resisting arrest and harassment in the sec-ond degree, said Sgt. Julie Shulsky, an SPD spokesperson, in an email Tuesday night. At about 2:30 p.m., police responded to the incident, which took place at the intersection of East Colvin Street and Comstock Avenue, Shulsky said. A victim, who was not named by Shulsky, said the confrontation started after a man started tailgating their vehicle in a delivery vehicle, police said.

Committee to oversee disability services audit By Jordan Muller asst. news editor

A 16-member committee will oversee an audit of Syracuse University’s disability services and help make recommendations to improve the campus experience for community members with disabilities, the university announced in an SU News release Tuesday. The steering committee, made up of faculty, staff and students, will look for a national consultant

to conduct the audit, according to the release. The committee will work with the consultant to make recommendations, per the release. The audit will include a review of the university’s processes and policies on student housing, academic and non-academic accommodations, medical leaves and other disability-related policies, according to the release. Joanna Masingila, dean of the School of Education, and Michael Schwartz, an associate professor of

law, will co-chair the committee. They’ll work with the committee to determine its goals and responsibilities, per the release. Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience, said in March that recommendations from the review should be expected near the end of the fall 2018 semester. Chancellor Kent Syverud first announced the possibility of a disability services audit during an address to the University Senate

in December 2017. At the time, he said the committee should examine the location of the Office of Disability Services and how much money SU should allocate to disability services. In January, Syverud said he requested assurance that SU will make “substantial progress” on its new Information and Communication Technology Accessibility Policy. The policy, which was first announced in December 2017, see audit page 4

Lazarus Sims accused of stealing from Syracuse By Daniel Strauss asst. digital editor

Lazarus Sims, a former Syracuse University basketball player who was recently suspended from his position as Syracuse’s parks department commissioner has been charged with third-degree grand larceny, Syracuse.com reported on Tuesday. Court documents show Sims is accused of stealing $5,400 from the city between Oct. 16, 2017 and

Oct. 31, 2017 by pocketing cash payments from park rentals and city fees, according to Syracuse.com. An arraignment was held for Sims on Tuesday morning in the downtown Syracuse City Court. After the discovery of financial discrepancies in the parks department during an audit conducted by City Auditor Marty Masterpole, Sims was put on administrative leave on March 26, Syracuse. com reported. Sims pleaded not guilty to

the charges, according to Spectrum News. According to Syracuse.com, Sims was still collecting a paycheck after he was suspended by Walsh following the audit. Syracuse.com also reported that Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens will take over the parks department during Sim’s absence, and Deputy Commissioner Julie LaFave will oversee day-to-day operations. Common Councilor Susan Boyle requested the audit in January

after receiving information about the parks department from community members who raised concerns, Syracuse.com reported. “This whole thing stinks. I hope the District Attorney says there’s nothing to see here,” Masterpole told Syracuse.com in late March. “But I couldn’t turn a blind eye to this.” Sims was hired as parks commissioner in 2015 under former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. He was reappointed on see sims page 4

Both vehicles stopped at a red light, at which point the man exited his vehicle with a knife and started waving it toward the victim while yelling, police said. The victim was uninjured. DPS was eventually able to locate the man, who is a Manlius resident. Manlius is a suburban area just east of Syracuse. “(The man) did fight with officers as they took him into custody,” Shul-sky said. She added that Powers was later lodged at the Onondaga County Justice Center. As of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, he was still at the center.

protest the Central New York Area Labor Federation, which represents all AFL-CIO union members in the area. After the rally, Taliercio said the only reason workers in central New York are seeing pay increases is because of minimum wage increases in New York state. She added that the only time Katko has agreed to meet with her is during the election cycle, when he asks for her endorsement. The congressman is up for reelection this year. “I want someone who represents the people they were elected to represent,” Taliercio said. “That’s all I want. I want him to start representing us, meeting with the constituents.” Common Councilor Joe Driscoll, of the 5th district, also attended the rally. He took issue with the large number of political contributions to Katko’s campaign from corporations. “You can either have the big-money, corporate donors, or you can get people power,” Driscoll said. A similar rally was held in mid-March, when Sen. Chuck Schumer visited Syracuse’s City Hall for an anti-tax legislation rally. Schumer denounced the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, saying the bill has primarily benefited from page 1

forum policing and what the new police chief will do to address those concerns. “Community policing can be done better in the city of Syracuse,” Owens said. Resident Abdul-Ra’oof Mustafa said that, from past experience, he doesn’t think the forums will change anything. “I have been to all kinds of things like this, and everything basically has remained the same. You can get different programs … there isn’t any positive outcome, but we continue to do the same thing,” Mustafa said. Mustafa said he likes these events, but he wants to ask Mayor Ben Walsh and Owens about what would they like to see in a police chief. He

CEOs who employ “buybacks” as a means of repurchasing their own company’s stock to increase its value. Driscoll also attended that event. Driscoll on Tuesday raised concerns about possible increases in health care costs following the bill’s passage. The tax legislation removes the individual mandate, a part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that required most Americans to have health insurance. The intention of the provision was to increase the incentive for healthy people, who are less expensive to insure, to buy health insurance. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that repealing the mandate would result in a 10 percent increase in premiums. Elaine Denton, a mother of three children who lives in the suburban town of Manlius, volunteers for the CNY Solidarity Coalition. It’s a collection of grassroots organizations in central New York that aims to protect residents from what it sees as President Donald Trump’s “destructive policies.” After the rally, Denton said health care is “very expensive,” and the tax bill does nothing to address that. “It’s a scam,” she said. “All the rich and businesses are just taking their money and keeping it.” cdarnell@syr.edu

said regardless of what they say, he believes that the decision will be based on self-interest. “The only time we have a conversation about community and policing would be when something terrible happens, like when a black man gets shot,” Mustafa said. Other residents said they want a police chief who would work on building relationships with the community. Owens said the thing they are looking for is someone who’s responding and engaging in the community. At other forums, city residents criticized current policing methods, transparency and accountability. Joe Driscoll, common councilor of the 5th district, also said most of the SPD police force lives outside of Syracuse, at a past meeting. bmoorman@syr.edu

letter to the editor

GSO president responds to April 17 letter Dear Christian, I read your letter with a deep worry for your family’s situation and spent a considerable amount of time thinking about how to address your concerns. Truthfully, I didn’t respond because I didn’t know what to say. I can’t offer specifics useful to you and anything less than specifics feels like an empty platitude. Neither response is sufficient. I cannot offer specifics because I don’t and cannot know your family’s healthcare situation. As you know, healthcare is a complex thing. Disability treatment could involve regular visits to a doctor, medication, hospitalization, specialized equipment and so on. I could say how these things are covered, but no one can say how that affects your specific circumstance. What’s covered by a copay now might be less expensive

under a coinsurance structure. Or perhaps not. The U.S. healthcare system is designed to make it impossible for us to know. All we have to work with is knowledge about what’s best for the whole and what would measurably bring an improvement to the lives of graduate assistants and fellows. So what do we know? SUBlue costs $1,494 this academic year. For graduate assistants and fellows, that is reduced to $500. A graduate family on SUBlue will pay at least $650 less next year. Under SUBlue, graduates pay about 20 percent of healthcare costs. Under Aetna, graduates pay about 10 percent, half as much. These are ACA-regulated measures of plan quality; I trust them. In sum, graduates on SUBlue now should wind up paying less in health insurance and less for healthcare next year.

This means over $1 million more in the pockets of those graduates impacted by the switch. But make no mistake: We are deeply concerned with the individual impact. No one — not me, not your executive board, not your senators — wants any graduates or families to be in a worse spot as a result of this. New York state should publish final plan details in June, but tentative details will be released earlier than that. Once released, take a look at your situation, run the numbers and if you are worse off, please come to us. We will help any graduate work with the university to ensure they and their family can afford to stay here. Because, ultimately, the GSO agreed to this change because it will make the lives of graduates better. We strive for nothing less.

conservative column

Media monopolies are a bipartisan issue, not just a conservative one

he release of Sinclair Broadcast Group’s anti-fake news media script is being painted as an issue of political biases in media. But the real issue is in media ownership. Sinclair, a right-leaning media company that owns 193 TV stations across the United States, issued a script for local broadcasters to read. Some Sinclair-owned stations in central New York aired the script, which prompted immediate outrage from many people who called the speech blatant propaganda for President Donald Trump and his war on fake news. While these concerns are not baseless, their eagerness to emphasize the message as rightleaning is unwarranted. The script itself gives no indication of a political affiliation and shouldn’t be discussed in relation to political partisanship. One part says: “Unfortunately,

some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control ‘exactly what people think.’ … This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.” A message about the prevalence of fake news, even when it’s a view shared by a Republican president, doesn’t make it rightleaning. It’s Trump-leaning. There must be a separation of the two concepts. Questionable media ethics are not inherently a conservative issue. Left-leaning news organizations engage in similarly questionable practices that endanger democracy. In October 2016, CNN fired Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile from her position as a political commentator after email leaks suggested she provided Hillary Clinton’s campaign with “advance knowledge of questions to be posed to her during Democratic

DON’T GET TOO OFFENDED campaign events hosted by the news network,” according to Snopes.com. “The real danger here is the fact that, in this day and age, you can have one gatekeeper for news and information, which is a scary thing,” said Keith Kobland, an adjunct professor of broadcast and digital journalism at Syracuse University and a media manager for SU News Services. A properly functioning democracy allows people access to a variety of views, and this notion is threatened when companies such as Sinclair dictate what content is allowed to air. Implicit biases are a reality in news media, and they aren’t necessarily a bad thing — so long as there are options

for viewers to get more than one perspective. The FCC should consider curbing the expansion of media juggernauts, like Sinclair, to ensure alternative options remain viable.

Local news reporters don’t necessarily have the ability to slant content to appeal to Republicans or Democrats, Kobland said, because they’re out covering fires, car crashes and city hall meetings. But a scripted message such as Sinclair’s can have broader implications that could damage the public’s trust in

its stations. “If people are turned off by what Sinclair has done, then their option is to change the channel,” Kobland said. For that reason alone, Sinclair’s message about fake news at the local level was entirely unnecessary and deserves much of the criticism it has received. Public trust in the media has been challenged amid the “fake news” era, and there was no reason for Sinclair to add fuel to the fire. Complaining about how Sinclair’s propagating Trump’s war on “fake news” will change nothing. It’s up to the viewers to tune out these TV stations and send a message to Sinclair.

Life after Chuck’s

1 year after Hungry Chuck’s closed, local bar scene adjusts By Adam Lehner staff writer

yracuse University students spent their last night out at Hungry Chuck’s a year ago. Today, the area where the popular bar once stood is now covered by a soon-to-be apartment building. The Marshall Syracuse plans to open this summer, offering luxury student apartments at competitive price. The structure towers eight stories atop the sacred ground that once housed the popular student hangout.

Construction for the South Crouse Avenue apartment project began last spring, forcing the famous student hotspot to close in April 2017. Orange Crate Brewing Company also had to close, but has since found a new home a block away. Orange Crate — commonly referred to by students as Lucy’s, its former moniker — and several other Marshall-area bars, including Faegan’s, Harry’s and DJ’s On the Hill, are adjusting to life after Chuck’s while preparing for the opening of The Marshall. But the future of Chuck’s is unknown. R.C. Faigle, owner of Orange Crate, said he was shocked when he first heard of the housing project two summers ago that would force him to relocate. He feels he caught the luck of the draw by quickly finding a new location at 731 S. Crouse Ave., a former Bruegger’s Bagels. “I’m in the best position that I’ve been in. I love the location,” Faigle said. “I certainly miss the traditional location, but we’re going to have great things to come here for 10-plus years.” Orange Crate’s original location at 721 S. Crouse Avenue had two floors, each with a bar of its own. While the new spot is confined to one floor, it has something that no other Marshall bar has: a spacious outdoor area. While Orange Crate was able to relocate, Chuck’s is still looking for a new spot. The bar’s owner, Stephen Theobald, said the staff has been working on reopening the bar constantly since its closure a year ago. It’s been like a full-time job to try and reopen, he added. Theobald said there are currently three potential options for the new location of Chuck’s. Each of these would see the bar reopen at different times — one as early as this summer, two as late as next year, he said. One option is a first-floor spot on the site of its original home in The see nightlife page 8

slice of life

Sunshine Horses is moving to greener pastures in Clay By Kathryn Krawczyk copy chief

No one is paid to muck out stalls lined with plywood boards or gather horses coated in springtime mud at Sunshine Horses. The cluster of workers braving another abnormally cold morning are all volunteers, and the horses are looking for new homes. But Sunshine Horses is ready to leave its makeshift stalls and muddy fields behind. The equine rescue and rehabilitation center is moving from Central Square to a new barn in Clay, quite literally for greener pastures. It’ll be closer to Syracuse

— a more convenient location for its volunteers — and have better trails, a bigger training arena and beautiful new stalls, said Sunshine President Kate Starr. The facility is currently home to more than two dozen adoptable horses. Some are rescues taken in because the Central New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals doesn’t have an equine facility, Starr said. Others are Standardbreds — former cartracing horses given to Sunshine because their owners wanted a safe retirement home. All breeds are welcome at Sunshine, but there’s a focus on

Standardbreds that stems from Starr’s background. “I used to train Standardbreds, and had a hard time seeing really nice saddle horses — types that could be nice saddle horses — shipped into trucks going to sales,” Starr said. “They’ll go to meat.” So, with a “burr underneath her skin,” Starr began Sunshine Horses back in 2001, and she hasn’t gotten a paycheck since. Sunshine is a nonprofit, volunteer-run operation that seeks to rehab, retrain and rehome horses with the right new owners. While they’re at Sunshine, horses need a $200 sponsorship to pay for their stall, food and

care for a month. Some of those sponsorships come from the volunteers who have fallen in love with a particular horse. And some of those volunteers, like Dawn Ellis, even take a horse home. It’s hard not to get attached to the horses at the barn, she said. “It’s nice to find them homes, but also tears will fall because you know you’re losing a horse that you spent time with and you’ve come to love,” Ellis said. “You’re happy they’re going to a home, but it’s a tearjerker to see them go.” Even with a horse at home, Ellis still comes to Sunshine regularly to coordinate volunteers and train

Louisa — a dark brown, fine-boned mare who got out of racing at a young age and without injuries. Jan Lower, another volunteer coordinator at Sunshine, has been attached to the nonprofit since she met Starr at a carnival in Skaneateles. “I said, ‘I don’t have a horse anymore, my kids are grown-up and I love horses,’ and Kate came and hugged me,” Lower said. “That was it, I was hooked.” That was 10 years ago. Today, Lower helps manage nearly 100 volunteers, a big spike from when she started. “We had seven horses, and we got

nightlife Marshall’s retail section. The complex’s owners have yet to publicize any of the impending business partnerships. However, Theobald said they have requested floor plans, menus and other information regarding Chuck’s intentions from him as recently as this week. Chuck’s signature atmosphere will not perish with the closure. Theobald said he saved all of the original furniture, signage and memorabilia, including the large coppertop bar where generations of SU students have ordered drinks over the decades. He has shipping containers in East Syracuse filled and ready to be unloaded into a space hopefully as big — if not bigger — than before. “If it hadn’t been torn down, we would never have touched a hair on its pretty little head. We loved it the way it was,” Theobald said. “We intend to recreate what was there, down to every detail that we can possibly pull off — kind of like a historic restoration.”

Faigle said he would like to see Theobald and Chuck’s return, noting that fewer bars could lead students to spend their evenings away from Marshall Street because there are more options elsewhere. “Smaller isn’t always better,” Faigle said. “Competition is good, it keeps you on top of your game, certainly.” Zack Schoem is the DJ manager of DJ’s on the Hill, one of two Syracuse DJ’s locations. He’s experienced the local bar scene inside and out, having worked at Harry’s and Orange Crate in the past, and his year-long stint at DJ’s has given him a front-row seat to the bar scene transformation. “We have a lot more seniors than we’ve ever had coming in,” said Schoem, an entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major. “Because of Chuck’s (closing), everybody’s getting extra seniors now.” Tim Collyer, who graduated in December 2017, said he refused to spend his weekend evenings anywhere but Chuck’s last spring. He cited the establishment’s cheap drinks and discounted food.

“Everything was half-priced during happy hour,” he recalled. “You and your friends could sit down with four drinks and mozzarella sticks for $12. You cannot beat that.” This year, an entire class of seniors that used to frequent Chuck’s has had to travel a different path, unable to add their names to Chuck’s walls like those before them. To fill the void last semester, Collyer said he and his friends utilized the city’s recent addition of Uber and Lyft to patronize downtown bars like Benjamin’s on Franklin. Once Orange Crate reopened in October, though, Collyer said the luster of downtown began to lose its appeal. Even with this new competition just yards away, Schoem said DJ’s was, and still is, consistently packing the house. He believes that trend will continue into next year once students are living in The Marshall. “I think everyone is going to do better,” Schoem said. “To be able to say, ‘I live next door to the bar’ — it’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be phenomenal for business.” While Faegan’s and Harry’s declined to comment for this story, the optimism has also

made its way to Orange Crate. “I love it,” laughed Faigle. “They’ll look down at my patio and see people having fun and go, ‘I gotta get down there.’” Schoem, along with many other seniors who experienced Chuck’s before it closed, is still disappointed it’s no longer around but grateful he had the opportunity to spend a few nights there. “Think about the people that had legacies that came here and went to Chuck’s. My brother used to go to Chuck’s, his name was on the wall,” Schoem said. “Imagine if I wasn’t old enough to get in there and I could never live that moment that my family lived.” Theobald said he’s sorry this year’s senior class has been unable to hang around Chuck’s, and he hopes to make it up to them down the road. He said when the bar reopens, they’re considering having some sort of celebration for the class of 2018. “We’d like to give you guys a chance to get your names on the wall,” he said. “It’s a big thing to me.” aglehner@syr.edu

zation that shares Sunshine’s emphasis on training as the key to adoption. To buy its new facility — the former Hallston Manor in Clay — Sunshine must raise $750,000. A $125,000 grant is on the way from New York state, and Sunshine has received a $350,000 matching donation, Starr said. The next step is reaching out to the community and people in the Standardbred industry for donations. At the new location, Sunshine will be able to hold carriage rides, car shows and other fundraisers. Sunshine will bring some tangible reminders of the barn that was its home for so long, including the fence posts that mark its pastures. The posts are named after well-loved horses who needed to be euthanized at Sunshine. “When you have so many horses over so many years, you’re going to lose some either to colic or to old age,” Starr said. “So, I guess we’ll take our little posts and name our pastures after them at the other place.”

horses up to 14 and we panicked,” Lower said. Now, with more than two dozen horses up for adoption and a handful of permanent residents, Sunshine has outgrown its home.

$125,000 Amount of a New York state grant awarded to Sunshine Horses

Starr has bigger plans for Sunshine, and needs a bigger, better facility to fulfill them. The Central New York SPCA often calls to see if Starr can take in an unwanted horse, and she’d like to turn that into a permanent partnership at the new barn. She’d also like to team up with The Right Horse, an organi-

Fashion statement By Neha Tandon

contributing writer

yracuse Fashion Week came from a local designer with a knack for putting on a good show, and now it’s entering its fourth year. Lisa Butler, who has a background in theater, started her design business in 2004 and began hosting fashion shows to promote it. After Butler staged several shows in the Syracuse area, other designers began asking her if they could collaborate with her. In 2010 Butler began Syracuse Style, an annual fashion show. Four years later, Syracuse Fashion Week was born. The Daily Orange spoke with Butler to learn more about Syracuse Fashion Week, which runs from April 26-29. The Daily Orange: Can you tell me a little bit about the different events and what distinguishes each of them? Lisa Butler: Our first is called the Landmark Theatre Window Project... We found windows that face out on Clinton Street and Jefferson Street. For one hour, we put a live model in the window. It’s really cool. Next week, we start with the actual runway shows. This year, we are presenting all original designers... It’s what we’ve been working toward for years, and it’s finally come to fruition. There will be individually owned local boutiques showing and also some Syracuse students. It’s going to be a very elegant event. Saturday night is the underground show. It sells out every year. It’s cool. It’s a small venue and when it’s sold out, it’s sold out. Sunday is a 3 p.m. matinee out in Cazenovia. We have a really fun assortment of stores and designers out there. Family friendly — we’re showing children’s looks, a lot of original designers and we’ve got balloon animals, face painters, farm animals, so it’s going to be a really cute show. Every year we make sure people get a really good value. The D.O.: How has the event evolved as time has passed? L.B.: Every event has a different history. (Something) that I like to accentuate is bringing people to places and venues in Syracuse that they might not have been to before. The Hotel Syracuse reopened a couple of years ago, and I think it’s important to bring people back to the space to see the beautiful architecture. We’ve done things at historical mansions, CrossFit gyms … I like to have unique venues to bring people to. One of my personal goals this year was to make our production values a little better, to really emphasize the show in addition to the fashion, so I hope we’re able to achieve that. A lot of people do fashion shows, but sometimes you just walk down the runway and walk back, so we like to have a high production value, great lighting designer, interesting little set pieces, and hopefully it will be theatrical as well as fashionable.

Number of boutiques, designers and stores that are part of Syracuse Fashion Week

The D.O.: How many designers are you showcasing?

Is there a tryout process for them to be in the shows? L.B.: I think last time I counted there (were) 48 different designers, boutiques and stores that we are showcasing. … People will come to me, and I’ll say no to a couple of people when I don’t think their items will make a cohesive collection or show. Many people I have worked with before, and I know they’re going to bring

Syracuse Fashion Week to feature avant-garde designs & pink beer

something to the table. I do have a couple of brand new people who have never done this kind of thing before. The D.O.: Anything else you feel we should know? L.B.: Additionally, I just want to say that we’ve raised money and awareness for the Food Bank of Central New York. So, we always donate a portion of our proceeds there. (And) I say, especially to men that might balk at the idea of their significant other going to a fashion show, many men are really surprised when they sit and watch a show at how wonderful it is. It’s not just fashion or something you see on TV. It’s an actual show. We brew a beautiful signature beer, called Runway Rose. It is a light ale and it’s pink, brewed with

rose hips and lemon. So, if you get bored with the show, grab a beer. This year, we have clothes for men, women and children. The children designers, we’ve always had maybe one. This year, we’ve got three. And we also have a junior portion of the show. It’s kind of fun to see children on the runway. They don’t get nervous, they are fearless and they’re, of course, cute. The other thing is, especially at the gala, you’re not going to see clothing per se during some of these sets. They’re fantasy, they’re avant-garde, others that are just bringing very different looks. ntandon@syr.edu

SU uses outfield position swaps to maximize defense By David Schneidman staff writer

In Syracuse’s first 28 games of the season, midinning position changes were almost nonexistent. Unless a player had to leave due to injury or a pinch-runner or hitter was inserted into the game, players who started the game stayed in their position for all seven innings. But in four of the Orange’s last five series, head coach Mike Bosch has employed temporary in-game position changes. When a left-handed batter with a tendency to hit to the opposite field steps to the plate against SU, the three outfielders — Bryce Holmgren, Alicia Hansen and Toni Martin — swap positions. Hansen moves from center to left field, while Martin moves from right to center and Holmgren from left to right. “Alicia is faster than Bryce. That’s pretty from page 12

trimboli Everything seemed normal as the Pink Flamingos, Trimboli’s club lacrosse team, played on Feb. 2, 2012. Trimboli stood on the sidelines, watching as his team defended a man down. An opponent rifled a shot toward the cage, but it never made it there. Instead, the shot smacked Tyler’s chest. The ball ricocheted away, and play continued as the 12-year-old TRIMBOLI Tyler dropped to the ground. He couldn’t get up or move. He just laid there. The whistle blew, stopping play, and head coach Dan Merola ran onto the field to check on Tyler. Players dropped to their knees while the parents looked on from the side in silence. The opposing team’s coach followed behind and joined Merola. But once he reached the two, Merola looked up, scared. “I need help,” Merola said to the opposing coach. An ambulance was called, and the players were taken off the field. Tyler’s mom tried to talk to her son, to get anything out of him. A teammate’s mom, who was a volunteer EMT, ran onto the field and yelled for her husband to get her equipment from the car. Everyone watched in silence as she attended to Tyler. When the EMTs arrived, a defibrillator bounced Tyler’s motionless body off the ground. But he never woke up. The EMTs tried again. And again. But nothing worked. The kids and parents stood by the railings, watching as Tyler lay on the field being treated. Soon after, Tyler was strapped onto a stretcher and rushed to the hospital. Four days later, Tyler was taken off life supfrom page 12

road games here,” Goldstock said. On the other hand, freshman midfielder Sam Swart was blown away by the amount of travel Syracuse has done. The concept of playing away from the Carrier Dome didn’t even occur to her. “I was just thinking we’d be in the Dome,” Swart said. “I thought all the games were gonna be here, I don’t know why I was thinking that. I was dumb. Not all of the games were in the Dome, for anybody reading this.” A hiccup in scheduling led to some of the inconvenient traveling. When schedules normally would be made, there were conflicts with scheduled Carrier Dome renovations, Gait said. By the time the Orange could finalize its schedule, most other teams had nearly completed theirs. That forced SU to settle for road games at odd, midweek times, Gait said. The scheduling trouble led in part to two separate road trips that featured two away games in three days, on a Thursday followed by a Saturday. The first trip resulted in two SU losses, to Notre Dame and Northwestern. More recently, Syracuse beat Loyola (Maryland) on a Thursday but fell to Virginia Tech two days later. “I think (the travel) was the difference versus Virginia (Tech),” Swart said. “There was just too much going on in such little time.” The Orange passes the time travel days with

much it,” Bosch said on the reasoning for the switches. The defensive tactic has helped Syracuse (21-18, 5-11 Atlantic Coast) give itself the best possible chance to win. To keep a runner from advancing an extra base or scoring is even more important for SU, which has scored two runs or fewer in 17 games this year and played in 11 games decided by one run. Syracuse first switched its outfield against Boston College on March 31, when BC’s Lexi DiEmmanuele came to the plate in the top of the second inning. As the lefty hitter walked from the on-deck circle, Holmgren, Hansen and Martin repositioned themselves. After DiEmmanuele struck out, each outfielder returned to their original position. The outfielders know exactly which batters to switch for without signals from Bosch, as the Orange memorize the switching points in port. Each of the 19 players on the Pink Flamingos were taken out of school and brought to Merola’s house. The kids sat in one room quietly while their parents talked in another. The team’s next game was later that night, and most parents thought it should be canceled. Joe Trimboli, Jamie’s dad, offered a solution: let the kids vote. Each teammate was handed a small piece of paper, where they either wrote “yes” or “no” to playing in the game. The responses were collected in a hat before it was opened in front of the parents and kids. One by one, every piece was opened, and one by one, every piece had the same answer. “It made the process easier moving forward,” teammate Dylan Joy said. “Because we had a group of guys (close) together.” The team played against Penfield, a team the Pink Flamingos had struggled with in the past, teammate Alexx Brown said. The Pink Flamingos won the opening faceoff and scored right away. Then, Trimboli scored back-toback goals. That’s when he pointed up to Tyler, who he knew was looking down on him. Two days later, hundreds of people came to the funeral home to pay their respects to Tyler. Among them were Joe and Trimboli. Tyler’s mom, Julie, pulled the pair aside. Trimboli and Tyler were from different towns, joining forces on a club team that sported sixth, seventh and eighth graders. Tyler was among the youngest, and most players like Trimboli looked out for him. Julie told Trimboli that Tyler loved him, and that he should never quit lacrosse because of the “freak accident,” Trimboli said. She saw a special talent in him. Trimboli had the potential to dominate. Julie told him that Tyler would be watching over him. “I was shaken by (Tyler’s death),” Joe said, “and I was a man. And here (Jamie) was, not a pastime that’s taken over much of the athletic world: Fortnite. Goldstock said Nicole Levy brings her Xbox. It’s not much different than at SU, Goldstock said, just that teammates hang out in a hotel room instead of around campus. And Goldstock conceded that Levy is the best player, ranking herself as a close second. Simpler challenges than who’s the best Fortnite player come up when a team travels as much as Syracuse, though. The most recent road trip was the trek from Loyola in Baltimore to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. On what Swart termed a nine-hour bus ride, many of her teammates slept or watched TV shows, like Goldstock’s favorite “Riverdale” and “Law & Order: SVU.” But Swart did neither. “I can’t sleep on the bus,” Swart said. “I only trust my mom driving, that’s it. I don’t trust bus drivers, no offense, they’re all great. I kind of just sit there and look out the window, visualizing myself on the field.” Once at VT, the Orange lost in doubleovertime. Swart, lacking sleep and having visualized herself on the field, did end up with a hat trick. But the trip ended as all three of SU’s ACC road contests have ended thus far: a one-goal loss. Swart did find one benefit in the travels despite the loss. “We hit Virginia and we cross the border, you just see the sun,” Swart said. “And I was like, this is so weird. Seeing the sun again was definitely a nice little touch in my life.” wmheyen@syr.edu | @wheyen3

an opponent’s batting order. “In practice, (the coaching staff) will tell us where they want us to play based on which batter it is,” Hansen said. “So come game time, it’s muscle memory.” In addition to applying the swap for DiEmmanuele and later Olivia Markopoulos when it played BC, SU has switched for Canisius’ Erin Hufford and Kara Paradowski, Notre Dame’s Ali Wester and Louisville’s Maddy Newman. All six players are lefty batters who the coaches identify as opposite-field hitters when analyzing film. Bosch and the outfielders are willing to make the shift because Holmgren, Hansen and Martin are comfortable in each of the three outfield positions. “All the outfield positions are the same, they’re just at different angles,” Hansen said. Since Bosch implemented the swap, seven balls have reached the outfield while the play-

ers were in their alternate positions. Of the seven, four went directly to Hansen in left field. Two went to the left-center gap and one to Martin in center field. Louisville’s Newman did the most damage by sending the ball to the gap in left-center, but Hansen tracked it down before Newman advanced past second base. While this kind of shift is rare in softball, Bosch said, it is important for Syracuse to do everything it can to limit runs. Hansen’s ability to get to a ball down the line or in the gap quicker than Holmgren is Bosch’s main reasoning for implementing the switch. With the number of close games SU has played in and its scoring struggles, the outfield swap is a small but critical adjustment. “We’re all comfortable with it and it’s a good thing to be aware of,” Martin said. “We’ll keep doing it as long as it helps us save runs.” ddschnei@syr.edu

even 14 yet.” The pink headband stretched out during the second game back. The next time Trimboli wore it, it kept sliding off, Joe said. So Trimboli opted for writing “TK9” on medical tape that wouldn’t slide off. But it required him cutting off the tape after every game. Joe was at a sporting goods store looking for lacrosse equipment when he came across an elastic tubular band. He bought one and brought it home to his son. It fit better and simplified the process. Trimboli listened to Julie’s advice from the wake. He never stopped playing. Five years later, on March 25, 2017, Trimboli ran through the tunnel formed by his team, did his pregame handshake and lined up for his first collegiate start.

Standing among his new teammates, Trimboli still honored an old one. The white tubular band clung to his calf. Tyler was with him. Trimboli thinks about Tyler’s death every day. The Pink Flamingos still bring up memories of Tyler, whose favorite saying was “This is the best thing ever,” Merola said. It didn’t matter what it was — Tyler would have a smile on his face and do whatever was asked of him. He made an impact on his team, enough for players to try whatever they can to commemorate him. It’s why Trimboli will never stop wearing the calf band. “I always think about him when things aren’t going so well, when things are tough,” Trimboli said. “When you need motivation to keep going.”

the court, showed plenty of emotion. Limam boiled down her close match struggles to indecision and quality of opponents. “Playing those big points with commitment is important,” Limam said. Ramirez played Louisville’s Mariana Humberg, who frequently used drop serves and slices from all over the court while Ramirez is a power baseliner. She quickly grew frustrated, losing 6-2, 7-6. On multiple occasions, Ramirez smashed balls into the back curtain of Drumlins to let out steam. In the three matches leading up to Duke, Ramirez faced nationally ranked opponents. She lost six consecutive sets, none closer than 6-3. Following her loss in Syracuse’s win over GT, Ramirez said she was getting back to 100 percent. But for her last three matches, Ramirez has worn heavy tape, wrapped around her upper left thigh. “It’s really frustrating, I just have to focus on my game,” Ramirez said after the Georgia Tech loss. But on Friday, Ramirez looked more in control. She moved well, took control of the points and dictated with her forehand. Besides stretching out and treating her thigh in between points, her injury was unnoticeable. After she confidently served out the match against Chi, Ramirez turned and looked directly at teammate Libi Mesh. Their eyes locked for an extended moment — a look of relief in the midst of a tough season.

ramirez record a singles win. But on Friday against the Blue Devils, head coach Younes Limam said Ramirez was “back.” Ramirez has struggled individually in-conference. But on Friday in singles, Ramirez battled Duke’s Meible Chi, playing through a nagging left thigh injury to close out the singles win, 6-4, 6-4. RAMIREZ Ramirez hopes that the win sparks a return to form in singles in time for the postseason. While Syracuse (15-6, 7-6 Atlantic Coast) is having its best season yet under Limam, Ramirez’s individual results (10-9) have lagged behind last season’s impressive resume. “It’s a matter of time before she gets over the hump,” Limam said before the Duke match. The constant losses are unprecedented in Ramirez’s SU career. Last season, the thenfreshman dominated the ACC. Playing first singles for the majority of the season, Ramirez finished 18-3 individually. A month after the Virginia loss, the SU sophomore lost a first set tiebreaker 14-12 against Virginia Tech. She went on to lose that match, 7-6, 6-1. Then came the Wake Forest match two weeks later. Since winning the first set against Omirou, Ramirez was not the same player.

JAMIE TRIMBOLI was on the field in 2012 when his teammate Tyler Kopp died. Four days later, when his club team played its next game, Trimboli sported a pink headband around his calf to honor Kopp, a tradition that’s since shifted to a white band. josh shub-seltzer staff photographer

Band of brothers Jamie Trimboli keeps teammate’s memory alive in the form of a calf band By Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

etting ready for his game on Feb. 7, 2012, a 13-year-old Jamie Trimboli searched for pink tape to match his uniform. He wanted to put it around his calf and write the name of his friend who couldn’t be there that night. The Trimbolis didn’t have pink tape, but his sister had a pink headband. So Trimboli took it, wrapped it around his calf and wrote “Tyler Kopp” on it. Every player in that game added “TK” stickers to the back of their helmets, and some put tape on their chin straps with “TK9” or “I <3 TK9” on it. Others had his initials on their jerseys.

They were ready to play in honor of their fallen teammate. Together. That night, Trimboli scored a goal and pointed toward the sky, where he believed Tyler was looking down on him. As he jogged off the field, the pink headband stayed firmly wrapped around his calf. “I just wanted to do something for him,” Trimboli said. “And I did. Then I just stuck with it.” Six years later, Trimboli still honors his fallen teammate. He also added meaning to the band this summer, when his uncle was diagnosed with cancer. It’s no longer a pink headband, but a white, elastic band. There are no name or initials on it anymore, but that doesn’t matter. Wearing the calf band has become a ritual for Trimboli, assuring him that every time he takes the field for Syracuse, Tyler is with him.

Syracuse searches for road recipe Ramirez hopes recent win sparks turnaround By Billy Heyen

asst. sports editor

Syracuse has traveled about 8,500 miles back and forth to nine games away from the Carrier Dome. If SU flew that mileage in a straight line, the team could travel to Warsaw, Poland, and back. While it hasn’t actually left the country, the No. 19 Orange (8-7, 0-5 Atlantic Coast) has embraced the role of a traveling team for much of

the season. Carrier Dome scheduling and the geographic diversity of the ACC means Syracuse has spent plenty of time on the move in the last two months. It’s created challenges — both in terms of practice planning and what to do in the long hours of travel — that SU’s struggled to solve to the tune of a 4-5 record when playing outside Syracuse. SU’s trip to Oregon in February was Syracuse’s longest of the season, and it accounted for almost

half the team’s total mileage. Since then the Orange has flown twice more and bused numerous times. Sophomore goalie Asa Goldstock remembers watching Syracuse while growing up and seeing how the Orange was “always somewhere.” While her high school team visited Florida over spring break, the rest of her games were relatively local. “I knew I’d get a lot of aerial views from the plane when I came see road

Everyone gathered around Miranda Ramirez’s court during a match against Wake Forest on March 18. Ramirez had lost before in the same situation: a final set tiebreaker against Virginia on Feb. 3. When Ramirez’s

forehand had clipped the tape and floated wide to end the match, Wake Forest’s team swarmed Eliza Omirou to celebrate WFU’s victory. That loss sent Ramirez into a singles tailspin. From March 16, an SU win against Clemson, until April 13 against Duke, Ramirez didn’t see ramirez page 11
