Cold case program faces end

ORONTO — Dylan Reibling struggled to believe what the police had just told him.

The detective on the phone explained to Reibling that his close friend wasn’t who he said he was. Every detail the friend told Reibling about himself was a lie, even the small town bond he thought they shared.

“And I bought it – hook, line and sinker,” Reibling said.

And now that friend, Michael de Bourcier, was dead.

In the 15 years since the phone call, Reibling has been on a personal quest to find out who his friend really was.

The search hasn’t been easy for the 38-year-old documentarian. He broke through slowly before finally discovering the true identity of his friend as a Syracuse University alumnus who disappeared in 1992.

The smell of a “significantly decomposed” body led authorities into de Bourcier’s apartment on April 3, 2002.

There they found him dead, the victim of an apparent heart attack. As police searched the house, they discovered fabricated documents and the information for a funeral company in his wallet.

“Mike was living under a fake identity,” Reibling said.

De Bourcier had prepaid his own funeral, and his death was ruled to have been under “mysterious circumstances.”

It has since been determined that his death was a result of natural causes and there was no foul play.

Police then called Reibling, who had volunteered to be a reference for de Bourcier on his passport application. The see REIBLING page 7

When North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr (R) took to the Senate floor in July 2016 to push a bill seeking justice for victims of racially motivated crimes, he pointed to Syracuse University’s Cold Case Justice Initiative as evidence the bill was necessary.

The bill, the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act, was ultimately signed into law in December and reopened unsolved cases of racially motivated murders from the Civil Rights Era. That came after the CCJI submitted almost 200 names of possible victims of such crimes to the Department of Justice in 2012, which Burr referenced.

Burr’s Senate speech gave national prominence to the CCJI, a program in SU’s College of Law that works to identify and advocate for victims of unsolved racist crimes. It was seemingly a breakthrough moment for the program and evidence it could influence change on a national level.

But now, less than a year after Burr’s speech, SU and the College of Law are planning to terminate the CCJI, leaving some to call into question the university’s attitude toward racial issues. To see cold

One of the men charged with murdering a Syracuse University student will appear in Syracuse City Court on Thursday morning for a pretrial hearing, regarding a tampering charge related to the murder case.

Cameron Isaac, 23, was charged in December with tampering with a witness in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor. Isaac last appeared in court in mid-February for another pretrial hearing. At that hearing, they discussed the available evidence in the case.

Isaac’s defense team has spent the last month and a half in the discovery phase, turning over information about evidence and witnesses pertaining to the case.

Bring the Chuck’s experience home with you

By Aline Peres Martins staff writer

Although the #savechucks movement is going strong, there are some things you can do to bring the Hungry Chuck’s experience home just in case. Spray-painting the walls of your room will be tricky, but learning to pour a pitcher, make a vodka cranberry and create “Liquid Cocaine” shots are much more reasonable.

The average pitcher is 60 oz. To order one to your house, it is as easy as opening Amazon and typing “beer pitcher” into the search bar.

Then, to fill the pitcher, you will need at least six bottles of beer.

Technically, the pitcher only can hold a little more than five bottles — the extra is to keep yourself entertained as you pour one out.

Hold the pitcher at 45 degrees and pour the beer onto the inside surface to reduce foam. For the last few ounces of beer, make sure the pitcher is held upright to create a head on the top of the beer.

As for beer choice, if you want to be as authentic as possible, the cheapest is the best choice.

Chuck’s vodka cranberry is technically called the “Cape Codder.” The earliest known reference to the drink was in a 1972 book titled “Bartender’s Guide, Revised” by Trader Vic, according to Esquire.

Realistically, the drink should be called the Fresh-out-of-College to better reflect the type of person usually seen ordering it. And while, like most drink origins, the story of its invention is hazy, experts agree that

VODKA CRANBERRY is technically named the “Cape Codder” because cranberries grow in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The drink is composed of vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice. aline peres martins staff writer

it was named the “Cape Codder” for a simple reason — cranberries grow on “The Cape” — Cape Cod, MA. Within 15 minutes of standing at the Chuck’s, you can hear dozens of college kids yell out over the crowd, “Vodka. Cranberry.” So to make an authentic Chuck’s experience at home, collect a hundred of your friends and make at least 40 of these drinks to dish out as people yell over the roar.

The recipe includes one part Smirnoff vodka — don’t get Belvedere or Grey Goose, that is overdoing it — four parts cranberry juice, one dash lime juice and one lime slice for garnish. Put all the liquids in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, pour into plastic cup — do not do glass if you want the Chuck’s experience — and throw in a piece of lime if you’re feeling fancy.

“Liquid Cocaine” is a bit tricky,

and there are multiple variations on the same shot. Its name comes from the fact that the taste is supposedly addicting. Urban Dictionary says the original shot is just made with Jägermeister and Goldschläger, and at Chuck’s it seems that is also the case.

To make one, mix one part Goldschläger and one part Jägermeister.

Serve to your friends and be ready to stay up for the rest of the night.

Journalist discusses covering immigration

By Ali Linan

senior staff writer

Sonia Nazario on Wednesday evening urged the Syracuse community to consider rising to the level of humanity that is required to uphold core values “that honestly make us who we are.”

A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for her work covering the journey of child immigrants into the United States, Nazario spoke Wednesday about revealing the truth about immigration and other social issues. She was the final speaker for the 2016-2017 University Lecture Series, and her speech was held in Hendricks Chapel.

Nazario, a daughter of immigrants, grew up in Kansas. Nazario said she wasn’t much of a studier

and always played second fiddle to her older sister, who was her father’s favorite child, but was determined to prove herself to her father. That was until his untimely death when she was 13 years old that led her family to move to Argentina.

I decided right in that moment, staring in that pool of blood, to become a journalist.

Sonia Nazario journalist

A couple of years later, Argentina would be in the middle of the “Dirty War,” where the military government was killing mercilessly. One day, she said, she walked down the streets in Buenos Aires with her mom and they walked past a pool of blood. She asked her mother what had happened and why, to which her mom replied, “the military killed two journalists … because they are trying to tell the truth about what is going on here.”

It was then that Nazario said she understood that no democracy could flourish without a strong press holding people in power accountable.

“I decided right in that moment, staring in that pool of blood, to become a journalist,” she said.

Nazario would go on to report from crack houses, riots and danger-

ous locations. She said she was determined to “grab you by your throat and take you on a ride inside worlds you would otherwise not see.”

She sought to cover the stories on social issues, with a focus on justice, and people she didn’t think got enough coverage in this country. One of the most well-known pieces Nazario wrote, which she spoke in depth about Wednesday night, was the story of Enrique, a Honduran boy who set out to find his mother in the U.S. – a journey that would require eight attempts.

When Nazario first met Enrique in Nuevo Laredo, on the border of Texas, he told her of the journey he had taken and Nazario decided to retrace his steps – twice. She spent three months and see lecture page 4

Grocery store opens, easing ‘food desert’ situation

By Jessica Zuk staff writer

A new Price Rite grocery store that opened on Sunday in Syracuse’s South Side brings what some community members describe as a “food desert” situation to the end.

The supermarket opened on South Avenue, located in the southwestern portion of the city that faces a range of different issues — including concentrated minority poverty and high numbers of lead poisoning cases. A recent economic wellbeing data indicates Syracuse is continuing to grapple with making progress on economic growth: the city slipped to the bottom in Brook-

ings Institution’s annual Metro Monitor economic grow th ranking surveying the 100 largest metropolitan cities in the United States.

This is Price Rite’s second location in Syracuse, located about four miles south of the original Price Rite location on Erie Boulevard that opened about five years ago.

“We look for the neighborhoods that best fit (Price Rite’s) model, which is to bring the most wholesome product at the cheapest price while providing a fresh environment,” said Josh Bartholomew, Price Rite’s regional director of operations.

Southwest community members have wanted a grocery store in the area so people without cars

could get fresh food, according to Syracuse.com.

In upstate New York, other areas considered food deserts can be found in large portions of the state near or north of Watertown, and in areas near the Catskills and Albany.

Bartholomew said Jubilee Homes, a non-profit organization focused on eliminating crime and providing housing opportunities to low- and moderate-income families in the southwestern area of the city, helped Price Rite find the location for the new grocery store. Other organizations, along with state and county grants, also made this second location applicable, Bartholomew said.

“With success comes several

different things. Obviously, we are a business and so it is all about revenue so we can have sustainable growth,” he said. “But at the same point, we are able to grow sales to have more jobs in the area. Up to 250 people can be hired for a store.”

The state provided $1.4 million in grants for the project and Onondaga County is providing a $200,000 grant for the project, according to Syracuse.com. The Syracuse Industrial Development Agency also approved different tax exemptions for the new store.

There are currently about 100 employees at the new store, per Syracuse.com. The store will be donating $3,000 to the CEO of see price

The Department of Public Safety is looking into threats made against Student Association vice presidential candidate Roy Tin by a former classmate who disagreed with his campaign’s platform.

Tin received threatening text messages on Monday, one day after Sunday’s SA presidential debate, which at times turned combative between presidential candidates James Franco and Tyler Rossi.

Rossi is Tin’s running mate.

DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado confirmed to The Daily Orange that the incident has been reported and that DPS is reviewing the information Tin provided.

“I received some hate messages, and actually a threat of my personal safety,” Tin said.

The student asked Tin to meet in front the Hall of Languages at around 11 p.m. Monday night. The student threatened Tin if he did not agree to meet, but did not elaborate on what would happen at the meeting or what the threat entailed.

Tin said the text messages were sent by a former classmate in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, but declined to name the student because of the ongoing DPS investigation into the incident.

The student opposed Tin’s political views, the way Rossi’s see threat page 4

cold case the directors of the program, the move also represents university leadership’s disinterest in the CCJI – disinterest they say has been growing since Chancellor Kent Syverud arrived three years ago.

SU officials have claimed that the program doesn’t have the necessary funding to continue and that the directors, Professors Paula Johnson and Janis McDonald, need to return to full-time teaching roles. But Johnson and McDonald deny that those are valid reasons to close the program, saying they’re capable of funding the CCJI without SU’s help and have the capacity to teach courses while also running the program.

In an interview this week, the two professors instead challenged the university’s priorities and whether it values issues of racial and social justice. They questioned the message shutting down the program might send, particularly during a time of tense race relations in the country.

As evidence of the CCJI’s value to the college, Johnson and McDonald also pointed to the hands-on experience that law students receive by volunteering with the program.

They added that, in recent months, they haven’t been part of discussions regarding the future of the program.

“We haven’t been included in any of the conversations between the chancellor and the dean about it,” McDonald said. “They’ve evidently been talking for a couple of months. They just informed us, that’s all.”

“If they were interested in reaching a solution and if there was a perceived problem for why we couldn’t go forward, then you would think that you’d bring the interested parties around the table,” Johnson added. “... That conversation hasn’t happened yet.”

Members of leadership within the university and College of Law were not made available for interviews for this story.

Instead, the College of Law provided The Daily Orange with a statement from Dean Craig Boise.

In the statement, Boise said he has evaluated the college’s programs since becoming dean in July 2016. He added that, as part of that process, “we learned that funding commitments to the Cold Case Justice Initiative (CCJI) expired in June of 2016.”

“The University and the College of Law have invested $3 million in the program anticipating that additional funding to sustain it would be obtained; however, such funding never materialized,” Boise said. “... Meanwhile, I am looking forward to Professors Johnson and McDon-

“I was having a nightmare every night when I got back to my house in L.A.,” Nazario recalled. “I felt tense, I felt filthy, I felt a fear of being robbed or raped or beaten most days on that train.”

While on that journey, Nazario said she saw the best and the worst of humanity.

She met families that would throw food to the passing migrants every day. They gave fruit, bread, tortillas and anything else they could muster together.

Nazario recalled a woman named Maria, one of the people who threw food to migrants, saying that she did it because it was the right thing to do.

“If I had one tortilla, I will give half away. I know God will bring me more,” Maria said to Nazario, she recalled.

But Johnson and McDonald contend that neither funding nor teaching is an issue.

McDonald said that she and Johnson have accepted that they would need to raise money independent of the university for the program to continue, something she said they have communicated to leadership.

Additionally, both professors are teaching this semester and are on the schedule to teach next semester, they said.

“It’s not about money and it’s not about teaching,” McDonald said. “So what is it about?

Is it about social justice on the campus?” illustrate to Americans how little they know and understand about the struggles children face to reconnect with their mothers.

Even surviving the difficult journey to the U.S. does not guarantee the children will get to stay, as many of them get deported.

“To me this is not due process, this is a sham,” she said.

This is one of the biggest issues, Nazario said, when it comes to child immigrants who are searching for their parents. She suggested that the U.S. government, instead of focusing its resources on keeping immigrants out, put its money toward keeping people in their home countries.

She said this could be done by providing services in dangerous neighborhoods that keep children away from gangs, drugs and alcohol, such as educating children, especially girls. If people could give a little of what they have to provide services for these children it would go a long way, she said.

And until then Nazario said she “will keep telling these children’s’ stories and being a voice for those whose voices are often not being heard.” avlinan@syr.edu

In recent years, the program has grown in both scope and recognition. In addition to Burr citing the CCJI on the Senate floor, the program submitted a report to the United Nations Office at Geneva two years ago, when the UN was reviewing the United States’ human rights record, Johnson said.

Johnson and McDonald have also met and worked with high-ranking members in both the FBI and the Department of Justice in recent years.

But as the program has expanded its reach to national and international levels, it has simultaneously received virtually no interest from Syverud since he assumed his role about three years ago, they said.

The university did spend $30,000 during the third quarter of 2016 for the CCJI to push for the passage of the Emmett Till Reauthorization Act, according to lobbying reports.

But whereas the previous chancellor, Nancy Cantor, supported the program and enabled them to devote significant time to the project, Syverud hasn’t had any involvement with the CCJI “except messages delivered by somebody else,” McDonald said.

“It’s been since that time that we’ve kind of been adjusting and just trying to survive,” she added.

There was need for another grocery store location in the area because many customers were unable to travel to get groceries at the original store — especially if they did not have access to transportation, Bartholomew said.

He said the community has had a positive response to the new store’s opening on South Avenue. On Sunday, people started lining up around 5:30 a.m. to get into the Price Rite, and because of the cold weather, the store opened around 7 a.m. The opening was originally scheduled to be 8 a.m., according to Syracuse.com.

The university has called for increased diversity in recent years, but given the incidents with the Posse Foundation and CCJI, McDonald questioned whether diversity is actually improving at SU. “I don’t know the answer. I’m not making those accusations,” she said. “... But we want to know is this important or is this not important.”

Johnson added that it’s particularly concerning to see the university cut the CCJI during a period of poor race relations in the U.S. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported almost 1,100 bias-related incidents in the month after President Donald Trump’s election, and police killings of black people have often made national headlines in recent years.

Those incidents have continued at high rates this year, with police so far having shot and killed 69 black people in 2017 as of Wednesday evening, according to The Washington Post.

“At this particular time is not a message for any major institution in our society to cut back on this as opposed to planting ourselves in that place where we say we’re firmly committed to doing racial and social justice,” Johnson said.

Johnson also pointed out that SU’s Academic Strategic Plan, one part of Syverud’s three-pronged Fast Forward Syracuse initiative, calls for and encourages experiential learning — something she said is at the heart of the CCJI. Mark O’Brien, a College of Law alumnus who graduated in 2014, volunteered with the CCJI while he was a student. He said it was his first opportunity to put legal theories and legal ideas into action.

“This was my chance to kind of take things we were learning in the classroom and apply them to literally real world scenarios,” he said. “... Students work really hard on this, and I think it would be a shame if the program ceased to exist under the banner that it currently does.”

Soon, though, the program likely will cease to exist in its current form. And that’s something that Johnson said makes her worry that there’s a changing landscape at the university, where everything is secondary to issues that Syverud values most, such as veterans affairs.

“Is this university willing to stand for racial justice, social justice and innovative, experiential work, or not?” she said. “That isn’t about one dean’s decision. That’s about the university as a whole.” mdburk01@syr.edu | @michaelburke47

one’s safety on this campus and we hope that Roy stays safe throughout this entire ordeal,” Franco said, adding that Franco’s campaign hasn’t received any similar threats.

Tin said he discussed the threatening text messages with Franco and that Rossi’s and Franco’s campaigns would issue a joint statement Thursday.

As a candidate for office, Tin said he understood that people might disagree with his policies.

“But if I were not running for public office, and if I were to take (the threats) personally, I would be devastated,” Tin said. jmulle01@syr.edu

“This whole project has been going on for 10 years, and the attendance speaks volumes of the community,” Bartholomew said. “It was a great turnout.”

Price Rite, Bartholomew said, receives deliveries of food six times a week, ensuring the store will meet the needs of the people in the community.

Neil Duffy, president of Price Rite, said that the company was excited about the new store, according to Syracuse.com. Local residents have been waiting for a grocery store in this area for a long time, he said, and the company was looking forward to becoming “a vital part” of the community.

“We are privileged to be part of this community and all the great new development that is happening along the southwest corridor,” Duffy said. jzuk01@syr.edu

Trump’s proposed cuts wouldn’t mean end of world for arts, humanities

T

he arts and humanities are undeniably important to a country’s culture and education, but the public should not be forced to pay for them.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) recently traveled to Plattsburgh to oppose President Donald Trump’s proposed budget, which would eliminate funding from four agencies that fund art organizations, museums, libraries and public broadcasting affiliates.

Gillibrand said in Plattsburgh that she believes rural communities in the “North Country” would suffer the most, according to NBC. These areas heavily rely on federal funding of the arts, considering about 79 percent of National Endowment for the Arts block-grant funds go to rural communities and lowincome areas, according to The Washington Post.

What opponents of the budget cuts must understand is that former President Barack Obama is no longer in the White House, where he excessively spent taxpayer dollars through his federal budgets and contributed to a burgeoning national debt.

Trump, unlike his predecessor, aims to stop the trend. It’s unfortunate that these agencies

JOSEPH PUCCIARELLI

DON’T GET TOO OFFENDED were chosen, but it’s a reality that the budget needs to be trimmed.

The United States debt continues to rise, and although the arts and humanities funding is only a small fraction of the budget, the proposed cuts are a decision made in the best interest of the nation and its citizens.

$148 million Annual budget of the National Endowment for the Arts. This value constitutes .003 percent of the federal budget. source: the new yorker

The arts and humanities may benefit children’s cultural development, but it’s of no use if they are forced to spend the rest of their lives paying for it.

David Prince, associate director

and curator of collections at Syracuse University Art Galleries, is in agreement with Gillibrand, and said smaller institutions will suffer from the proposed cuts the most because they don’t have the connections to secure funding elsewhere. But some institutions, like SUArt Galleries, can acquire their own funds.

“I sleep better at night knowing money is coming in by our own efforts,” Prince said.

He added that every state also has agencies that support the arts, and there are some local governments that provide assistance in art funding.

Perhaps it’s time for the arts and humanities to become more reliant on state funding. People who are concerned about losing funding can lobby their state governments, which can raise state income taxes to cover the costs.

Some states value the arts more than others. New York spends upward of $45 million annually, according to the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies. Other states spend far less, like Iowa, which spends about $1 million.

The District of Columbia, which has a population of about 670,000 people, appropriated nearly $17 million in arts funding in 2016, according to the National Assembly

editorial board

of State Arts Agencies. If the arts and humanities are that important, larger states should have no problem raising the necessary funds.

I sleep better at night knowing money is coming in by our own efforts.

David Prince associate director and curator of syracuse university art galleries

If the funding is cut, another plausible solution would be personal donations. Hollywood always preaches the importance of art during award shows. These celebrities should put their money where their mouths are and take the lead in funding the arts.

The NEA has a $148 million budget, which constitutes .003 percent of the federal budget and is distributed to all 50 states, according to The New Yorker. If this number was distributed equally, there would be about $2.96 million in funding for every state. Wealthy donors and state agencies could

easily compensate for these losses.

Challengers to budget cuts continue to argue that the cost of these agencies is only $1 billion.

They believe that since arts and humanities funding comprises only .02 percent of the federal budget, per The Washington Post, that the funding is not even worth cutting.

It’s wrong to think that opportunities for the arts and humanities are eliminated by Trump’s proposed budget, and that these cuts threaten cultural development in the U.S. But that is not true. The arts and humanities are not going anywhere.

“If there’s support for what you do, you’ll get it,” Prince said.

Gillibrand, and other politicians and constituents alike, have every right to fight for the arts and humanities. Their importance is undisputed. But people need to start rationalizing Trump’s proposed budget cuts and think of other methods to fund these subjects that do not include the federal government.

CCJI latest target of transparency failures Syracuse University’s planned termination of the Cold Case Justice Initiative is another instance of the administration failing to properly communicate potential closings of university institutions, such as the Advocacy Center.

Like the Advocacy Center, which provided resources to individuals seeking help for sexual assault before its abrupt closing in May 2014, the Cold Case Justice Initiative is an important SU institution that provides a specialized social service. The initiative has gained national recognition for its work in identifying and advocating for the victims of unsolved racist crimes.

The professors who head the initiative deserve a more thorough and honest explanation from the SU administration as to why the university and the College of Law — which houses the initiative — want to see it dissolved. These professors deserve an explanation not only because their initiative has garnered such success and prominence, but because the administration should be more

committed to having discussions with stakeholders in programs they plan to cut.

SU is a private university, and it’s understandable that administrators don’t make any promises when it comes to shared governance. But to abruptly announce the termination of a heralded initiative without including the initiative’s heads into those pertinent conversations is wrong, and a disservice to all the hard work they have dedicated to the program.

People who have provided such services to others and to the university should not be blindsided in this manner.

The professors who head the initiative, Paula Johnson and Janis McDonald, said College of Law leaders have told them the program does not have the funding it needs to continue, and that they need to return to full-time teaching roles. But both professors said they are capable of funding the program without the university’s help, and also have the ability to teach courses while

running the initiative.

If the university does have other valid reasons for terminating the initiative, the administration needs to make those reasons clear to those who have invested their time into the program. If lack of funding was indeed the real issue, then Johnson and McDonald should have been included in the conversations about the initiative, where they could have discussed possible methods to continue funding it.

While it is ultimately the administration’s call to terminate the program, administrators should act transparently and communicate with those who are most invested in it.

There have been repeated incidents of ineffective communication in recent years, including the closing of the Advocacy Center, and it is time the university administration take responsibility and improve its track record. Further discussion with Johnson and McDonald is a good first step in doing so.

Beneath the glitter UNC senior uses fandom to aid recovery from anorexia

By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

A

lex Koszeghy originally didn’t go to many sporting events while at college, but she finally decided to check something off her bucket list last year and went to a football game — completely covered in paint and glitter.

“I will never forget that day for as long as I live.

Once I painted up for a game, I realized that there was no going back,” Koszeghy, now a senior at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, said in an Instagram post. “There is nothing that compares to the feeling of being covered in paint alongside other Heels cheering on the team.”

Koszeghy is now known as “Glitter Girl,” and freKOSZEGHY quently uses Instagram and social media to keep people updated on her life and inspire others who are struggling with eating disorders. Koszeghy was diagnosed with anorexia as a teenager, but going to UNC events has been part of her recovery, according to The Daily Mail.

After she went to a game UNC played against FSU this year, Koszeghy started covering herself in glitter, inspired by FSU’s Garnet and Gold Guys, according to USA TODAY. “People loved it and I really loved it too, so the glitter stayed from then on out,” she told The Daily Mail.

Koszeghy will be graduating from UNC in May and according to USA TODAY, she will be pursuing a master’s degree in school counseling at the University of Virginia. She will always be a Tar Heel though, she told USA TODAY. Taking off the glitter is “a pain,” Koszeghy told The Daily Mail, adding that she brings her phone to the shower with her to watch Netflix after games because taking the glitter off takes so long.

She told The Daily Mail that she is always finding patches of paint all over her body.

Koszeghy told The Daily Mail for the majority of her life she’s struggled with insecurities and self-esteem problems. She eventu-

ally developed anorexia as a teenager because of these issues, Koszeghy said, which she then struggled with for years.

She eventually decided though to embrace her personality and stopped worrying about fitting in.

“I have stopped trying to hide who I am and have just let the world see my sparkle. And that is how glitter girl kind of came to be … glitter girl was just the culmination of me accepting myself and embracing who I was without worrying about fitting in,” she told The Daily Mail.

People loved it and I really loved it too, so the glitter stayed from then on out.

Alex Koszegh to the daily mail

“It was years of voices in my head constantly saying, ‘You’re fat,’ ‘Why did you eat that?,’ ‘Go exercise’ — and it was 24/7,” Koszeghy told People. She also told People that being Glitter Girl has helped her recover from that time of her life.

Koszeghy used social media in an attempt to destigmatize mental illnesses and inspire others affected by eating disorders, she told USA TODAY. Instagram has allowed her to connect with people who are going through similar struggles, she told Teen Vogue.

She also said she tries to be open, honest and vulnerable on social media and show the world her ups and downs, her smiles and her tears, her strengths and her weaknesses, she told USA TODAY. “I just hope that this can show people that real life is not always reflected on social media,” she told USA TODAY. sfogozal@syr.edu Staff writer Deniz Sahinturk contributed reporting to this article

REIBLING two had become friends working together at a small Internet service provider in Toronto.

Reibling said they “just hit it off.”

Reibling and de Bourcier would grab beers and a bite to eat together across the street. When Reibling was transferred to the night shift, he’d come in early just to talk to his otherwise quiet friend with a dry sense of humor.

They bonded over their small-town roots – Reibling from Baden, Ontario, and de Bourcier, who said he was from Goderich, Ontario, with populations of 4,500 and 7,628, respectively.

Reibling believed he could help the police.

He thought he had answers to their questions.

Do you know where he grew up? De Bourcier’s identifying documents were fraudulent.

Do you know where he went to high school?

He faked his diploma.

Do you know where he went to university?

The college degree was forged.

“It was a pretty big hole in my life,” Reibling said. “It was a pretty fundamental event.”

He questioned not only his past friendship with de Bourcier and the emptiness his death left him, but the new friends he met and the stories they shared about themselves.

Reibling wouldn’t be at peace until he found answers.

In his mind, he retraced his steps with de Bourcier to see if he’d missed something in their two years of friendship. Over the course of a decade, he compiled a file with the limited information he did know. He would open the dossier once or twice each year, chase down a few leads, hit a dead end and put the file away.

The search intensified in 2014 as Reibling successfully pitched the idea of a documentary to a Canadian foundation, which allowed him to hire private investigator Dave Perry and continue searching, albeit with limited results.

“I’ve never seen a case like this,” said

DYLAN REIBLING spent 12 years on and off searching for the true identity of his friend. His work on a documentary about the quest inspired a more invested search for answers.

Perry, a former Toronto Police Service homicide detective who founded and runs the Pickering, Ontario-based Investigative Solutions Network. “It wasn’t going to be easy, but I’ve been an investigator for almost 40 years and I knew that there was some potential here that we might be able to solve the mystery.”

Reibling, an amateur sleuth, talked to other former colleagues, but their memories of de Bourcier had faded. A trip to de Bourcier’s alleged hometown turned up nothing. He called dozens of Toronto cemeteries looking for the grave. When Reibling finally got a location — Section 19 of Beechwood Cemetery — he found an unmarked grave.

Police told Reibling about the real Michael de Bourcier, the one he later found out died in May 1973 at 4 years old after falling from a truck driven by his father.

The Michael de Bourcier that Reibling met in 2000 would have been roughly the same age as the child.

In a last-ditch effort to learn his friend’s true identity, Reibling searched through

dozens of pages of missing person records, in hopes he’d find a headshot that resembled his heavyset, brown-haired, blue-eyed friend.

On March 16, 2015, he found the photo he was looking for.

“That’s him,” Reibling said four times when he discovered the profile of James Scott Walton.

Walton, who went by Jim, went missing Aug. 2, 1992, from Caledonia, Ontario, when he left his family to come to the United States. He told his mother he was traveling to Syracuse to visit his friends from SU, which he attended for 15 months as a graduate student, from August 1988 until his graduation in 1989.

That fabricated trip to Syracuse was the last time Walton’s family and friends heard from him.

The car Walton drove was found near the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

Everything was inside except for his passport and the clothes he was wearing. No note. No apparent reason. Just gone. There’s belief that he had some financial trouble

and wanted to disappear. There are theories relating to his knowledge of Russia and the time correlation between his disappearance and the fall of the Soviet Union.

Reibling, anxious and hesitant to re-open old wounds, cold-called Walton’s mother and sister along with Perry, the private investigator. The four agreed to meet to discuss the findings.

“It was tough,” Reibling said about the call, pausing to catch his breath as his stoic demeanor faded.

He hadn’t been able to hold back during his first meeting with the Waltons. In tears, they realized the man they both knew, one Jim Walton and one Michael de Bourcier, was the same person. DNA confirmed it on May 7, 2015. Yet the eight years between disappearance and friendship leave just as many questions as answers.

“The sad thing is, it’s such a waste of a life. Something that was so utterly forgivable – we certainly would have embraced him,” Walton’s sister, who, along with the mother, wished to have their privacy respected in the documentary, said about him disappearing. “It’s just sad that he felt that wasn’t possible.”

Sitting in his apartment — just a few blocks from the one where he got the original call — Reibling stops halfway through reading a text message from Walton’s sister.

He wipes tears from his eyes.

“I didn’t really think of it as a missing persons case,” Reibling said. “It was always about me finding answers and it’s just been icing on the cake that they’ve gotten closure as well.”

Reibling isn’t settling on the fact that he found the identity of his friend. He’s moving forward with the search for what happened in those eight years, hoping to capture Walton’s entire life.

“That’s the big blank space,” said Perry, the private investigator.

It remains a mystery for now, though, as Reibling continues to press on, searching for answers about the man he thought he knew. jmatting@syr.edu | @jmattingly306 – 30 –

ovies are a lot like wine.

You can buy the cheap stuff and be satisfied for the moment, or do a little more digging for the more quality, curated stuff.

Similarly, there is definitely a clear divide between your “Transformers” LILLY popcornSTUECKLEN munchers R EEL TA LK and your “Godfathers” or “Schindler’s Lists.” Where one end just lets you escape for two hours, the other fully transports you, and leaves you feeling changed or with a new perspective afterwards.

Bleecker Street, a young indie distributor, makes high-caliber films that satisfy, much like a fine wine.

Andrew Karpen, former co-CEO of Focus Features, the major indie distributor behind titles such as “Dallas Buyers Club” and “The Theory of Everything,” formed Bleecker Street in 2014 after Focus Features moved main operations from New York to Los Angeles. His initial goal was to release a handful of thought provoking films each year, films he calls “smart-house.” They mix the highbrow artistic rigor of indie films with the entertainment factor and big names of traditional box office fare.

Notable releases include “Beasts of No Nation,” “Trumbo” and “Captain Fantastic.” Starring Idris Elba, Bryan Cranston and Viggo Mortensen, respectively, on average rate 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bleecker releases their films on a platform basis, meaning that the number of theatres they’re released in grows over time upon receiving positive word of mouth.

This method drives the prestige of the Bleecker Street label while the films maintain their indie status, becoming sought after titles by movie aficionados. If you want a thought-provoking film, the Bleecker Street label doesn’t fail.

This strategy, combined with the often adult-oriented themes builds the Bleecker Street brand.

Where A24 is the quirky and experimental distributor of our generation, Bleecker Street is finding success in being traditional.

At a time when other adult-aimed indie distributors are struggling, such as the Weinstein Company, Bleecker Street is strong.

I’m most excited for the June release of “Meagan Leavey.” “Leavey” is based on the true story of a Marine corporal and the bond she shares with her combat dog, Rex. This also marks “Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s dramatic film debut. If there’s one thing I love more than saving the whales, it’s dogs. Count me in.

If the usual mindless blockbuster fare bores you, consider catching a Bleecker Street release, and also a bottle of the good stuff – no Franzia.

The Daily Orange Presents:

BEATS & eats.

SUNDAY, APRIL 23

WALNUT PARK • 2-6 p.m.

Special thanks to our presenting sponsors:

DEBORAH HUNDLEY, president of Providence Services of Syracuse, nearly retired four years ago, but realized a need for transportation in the workforce. ally moreo photo editor from page 9

ride service “They would pick me up at 11 o’clock from work and bring me home,” Patterson said.

“The cost was $42 a month.”

Thanks to the smaller cost of commuting, Patterson could now afford to make car payments, and he now drives a 2003 Infiniti I35.

That car stabilized Patterson’s livelihood. He now has reliable transportation.

“In the past, I have lost jobs because of that, because there was no service like that,” he said.

Jobs like Patterson’s that work through shifts in odd hours and don’t have bus service are mainly in East Syracuse, Hundley said, speaking of hotels, restaurant work, nurse shifts, warehouses and grocery stores that stock at night.

“It’s just the way working is in America, it’s multiple shifts,” she said.

The way these jobs are structured — shifts begin and end at a time that transportation stops running — poses major problems to the

people who work them.

Now, Providence Services of Syracuse is just waiting for the passengers to hop inside their modified van. It’s one way to keep jobs like Patterson’s safe, who stressed that efforts like these need urgent funding.

“Without that service, I don’t know what I would have done,” he said. “They can’t help everybody because they need more funding. For everyone they do help, there’s someone they can’t help. It’s so vital for them to receive funding.”

So far, Providence Services of Syracuse has relied on a series of foundation grants from the Central New York Community Fund, the Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman Foundation, the M&T Charitable Foundation, the Workforce Development Institute and private donors.

“We’ve only been around for four years, and it takes a while for us to be recognized,” she said.

“It’s taken some time to develop a model that works for the Syracuse area and also to convince people that this is worthwhile to get people from unemployment to employment.” dmurthy@syr.edu

A little help from my friends Musicians gather for Beatles tribute concert

By Hana Maeda staff writer

D

ave Novak carpooled with nine of his band mates from central New York to catch a Beatles concert at Shea Stadium more than 50 years ago. Although they barely caught a glimpse of the Fab Four, they got to sit in front of the speakers.

“It’s an experience you don’t forget,” Novak said. “There were 55,000 people there and I happened to be one of them.

It was incredible.”

Novak, a Syracuse Area Music Hall of Famer, has come full circle with his love for The Beatles — he’s one of the musicians performing at BeatleCUSE, a tribute concert featuring more than 60 musicians.

The show takes place at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Palace Theatre.

This year marks the 4th edition of BeatleCUSE, which first started as a celebration of The Beatles’ 50th anniversary since the band’s iconic debut on the Ed Sullivan show. The event premiered at the Landmark Theater and attracted more than 1,200 people.

“I thought it was going to be a one-time thing, but the musicians wanted to do it again, the crowd wanted me to put it together again,” said Paul Davie, executive director of BeatleCUSE. With the success of BeatleCUSE and the help of his friends, Davie founded a nonprofit last year, BeatleCUSE Productions, Inc., which preserves the history of popular music of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

The show donates its proceeds to four local causes, including the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY, Inc., which has raised more than $5,000 in the past two years.

With a different set of songs every year, this weekend’s BeatleCUSE will perform every song from “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in honor of the album’s 50th anniversary. The “Summer of Love” orchestra, the show’s first 30-piece orchestra, will play with “the Inner Light Ensemble,” a four-person ensemble playing Indian instruments. Guitarist and songwriter Joey Molland of Badfinger will be headlining the show.

Novak, who’s been involved with the show since its first run, will be paying a special tribute to the 12-string guitar with his British Invasion band, The Fabcats. His favorite part of the show is “the camaraderie within the Syracuse music community.”

“It’s wonderful to get all these like kind of minded people together ‘cause we often don’t get to hear each other ‘cause

we’re working musicians,” Novak said. “This is an environment where you’re all together for a common, fun thing that’s based on music that we all love.”

Davie, who knows many of the musicians, is excited to watch them all perform The Beatles’ “ground-breaking” album, though many have never worked together before.

“They leave their egos at the door,” Davie said. “They bring their A-game, they’re prepared, they listen to the song that I’ve assigned to them, and they knock it out of the park.”

Through an “organic process,” Davie selects the performers and their songs based on their skill sets and playing style. Around twothirds of the songs are based on the records, and the other third contains different versions of the Beatles’ songs the artists will present.

Davie recalls last year’s performance of “Yesterday” by Ronnie Lee with only a guitar and a violin. Once his performance was over, more than a thousand people in the room stood up and started crying.

“He hit that big note, and people got out of the seat and started screaming because they loved what he did with that song,” he said.

Davie hopes to recreate that effect this year with BeatleCUSE’s performance of the album’s final song, “A Day in the Life.”

Gary Frenay, another Syracuse Area Music Hall of Famer, serves as one of the co-directors of BeatleCUSE. He’s known for his extensive Beatles knowledge, and started taking guitar lessons as a child after watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. Frenay, another member of The Fabcats, is especially looking forward to performing “A Day in the Life.”

“To hear ‘Sgt. Pepper’ brought to life with all these musicians is really a once in a lifetime thing,” Frenay said. “There’s no band that really does this, so it’s one of those standalone events that you just have to see and believe — it’s really going to be something.”

Davie attributes The Beatles’ universal appeal to their influential songs. They wrote songs about “love, relationships, peace — there was no anger,” Davie said. He hopes that BeatleCUSE brings together all generations of Beatle fans and celebrate their music.

“People can come out to the show, can escape from everything that’s been going on in the world right now, whether it’s the media or politics,” Davie said. “I tell everybody to leave that at home, come and escape, enjoy, get your spirit uplifted with some great live renditions of those songs.” hmaeda@syr.edu

Alexa Romero holds Binghamton to 1 run in SU victory

By Nick Alvarez asst. web editor

Binghamton sent 18 batters to the plate Wednesday night. Fifteen times, Alexa Romero sent them back to the dugout. While Syracuse smacked Binghamton starter Allison Pritchard, Romero pitched like an ace.

Three Bearcats reached base in five innings and only one scored.

“She’s always coming in strong,” junior shortstop Sammy Fernandez said. “She usually always shuts down the opposing player. We can always expect her to make that big pitch.”

When Romero joined SU’s rotation, Syracuse players and coaches knew she had the from page 16

man-up three for much of the night. On one of Syracuse’s runs, Mariano scored SU’s second manup goal and Raymond shifted his man-down to not cover the pipes and push out on SU midfielders. But, Raymond said, it’s difficult no matter which way he played it because the Orange has six scorers on the field. SU responded by probing the defense and looking for its new soft spot.

“Coach kept saying he wouldn’t get mad if we got a stall warning every now and then,” said sophomore attack Nate Solomon, who had four goals. “We kept the ball more in our sticks.”

That left the man-up at the discretion of Mariano, who SU head coach John Desko shifted to midfielder from attack two weeks ago. Since then, he’s regularly drawn short sticks and responded by tallying three or more goals in three straight games. Wednesday, he tied a career high with seven points and pocketed three rockets from the outside on the man up alone.

Mariano’s most important of the day came with 3:17 to go in the third quarter, about

potential to be dominant. In Syracuse’s (1912, 3-6 Atlantic Coast) 13-1 rout of Binghamton (9-16, 2-2 America East), the left-handed Romero pitched five innings. She gave up two runs or fewer for the eighth time this season when pitching at least five innings, and she lowered her earned run average to 2.38, breezing through the Bearcats lineup.

On Tuesday, Romero had a hunch she would have a stellar outing. The Aurora, Colorado, native felt like she had her pitches moving well and hitting their spots in practice this week. One day later, pitching in her first game at SU Softball Stadium, Romero kept it rolling.

Romero pitched with efficiency. The freshman threw 75 pitches through five three minutes after his second tally on the extra man, when a bullet from about 10 yards on the right side out found twine and gave SU its then-largest lead of the day, 13-8.

“I knew he could stretch a defense,” Raymond said, “but he really put some velocity behind those shots. One thing our goalie (Jackson Brown) said — and our goalie sees the ball pretty well — was that he said that kid with his feet set is tough.”

The Statesmen struck quickly for two goals to open the fourth quarter, but Mariano’s earlier lead-building nullified any momentum.

The senior found Trimboli just before the extra man could be called with 7:33 to go, and the freshman stamped out Hobart’s attempt to wriggle back into the game. Hobart defenders left SU midfielder Brendan Bomberry open on the crease 15 seconds later on the man up and the junior dutifully cashed the check.

Bomberry’s goal delivered Syracuse back its five-goal lead, and the Orange never relinquished its hold.

“Man-up was a good thing tonight,” Desko said. “We cleaned some things up.” sjfortie@syr.edu | @Sam4TR

innings, notching her seventh win of the year. Her counterpart gave up seven runs, walked six batters and threw 76 pitches 2 2/3 innings.

Jumping ahead in the count allowed Romero to utilize her movement pitches.

Pop-ups and weak groundouts were products of Binghamton not getting the barrel of the bat on the ball.

“I felt really good today,” Romero said. “I felt loose and relaxed.”

In the bottom of the fourth, Stephanie Bielec’s bloop single to shallow left field gave Binghamton its first hit. One batter later, Romero made her only mistake of the game.

A pitch to Kate Richard that caught too much of the plate resulted in an RBI double.

When Romero could have surrendered more, her change up caused Bridget Hunt’s knees to buckle as she looked at strike three.

“She’s just been doing her thing,” Syracuse head coach Mike Bosch said. “She’s been really consistent all season. She does a lot of things you really wouldn’t expect from a freshman.”

This marks the second time Romero faced the Bearcats this season. The first encounter, a fall scrimmage in October, Romero said she pitched OK, but she didn’t elaborate. She instead reinforced that she has improved since then with her 75-pitch, three-strikeout victory on Wednesday night. nialvare@syr.edu

binghamton picked it up today.”

Dewes, who homered in the game, feels that the team’s relaxed nature helped the Orange deliver on the offensive end. The patience in the box is a huge part of that, but they also showed the willingness to attack when the opportunity was given to them, giving them a boost toward the end of the game.

Bryce Holmgren has been a staple of offensive production throughout the season for the Orange. She saw that her team found its stride in the game and just kept riding the momentum.

“We’re worried about doing our thing at bat,” Holmgren said. “We know when we are getting on (the opposing pitcher) so we just keep pushing and keep stringing things together so that we can put a bunch of runs together when we have the chance.”

For Syracuse, a return home was just what they needed. Two wins for the first time this season back at Skytop Stadium and the Orange were showing the fans what they’ve been missing during their 29 game road trip.

SU goes perfect 5-of-5 on man-up chances

By Sam Fortier

asst. sports editor

GENEVA, N.Y. — Hobart dreaded the whistle. Every time a referee sent one of its players to the sideline with a penalty, Syracuse ruthlessly took advantage on Wednesday night at Boswell Field. Every time the Statesmen adjusted its defense to cover up the blow it had just taken, Syracuse found a newly exposed patch and punched again.

The No. 2 Orange (8-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) went 5-for-5 on

man-up opportunities, its best performance of the season, and thumped Hobart (4-6, 1-1 Northeast), 17-11, to capture its fourth consecutive Kraus-Simmons trophy. The unit’s performance also stopped a late Hobart run to snap the program-record stretch of seven consecutive one-goal games.

“We know what we want to do, where we want to get the ball,” said Nick Mariano, who tied a career high with seven points in the win. “A lot of the times we feed it to (Brad) Voigt on the crease, and he’s usually open. Today, they didn’t give that up.

We just got to the outside and got our hands free for our shooters.”

Hobart crumbled on Wednesday despite remaking its man-down defense in hopes of surprising Syracuse. Hobart head coach Greg Raymond said his team wasn’t covering the inside when Syracuse got its first man-up opportunity late in the first quarter after defender Grant Soucy held SU midfielder Ryan Simmons on a slash to the goal.

Contrasting Hobart’s makeover, Syracuse trotted out the same man-up unit it has all season. Six-foot-six, 222-pound Matt

Lane, despite recently demoted from the first midfield line for freshman Jamie Trimboli, helped Mariano control the pace from up top but did not look to shoot.

On the Orange’s first man-up chance, Lane swung to midfielder Sergio Salcido, who hit a cutting Voigt to put Syracuse up 4-1 with 6:41 to go in the first quarter. But Hobart, as it often has in the 103 times the teams have played each other, wouldn’t let up.

The Statesman scored two quick goals and remained lurking within see man-up page 14

After winning the first game of a doubleheader, Syracuse presumably had another seven innings of softball left to play.

But the second game kept moving ahead of pace.

T he O r a nge for c e d Binghamton’s starting pitcher, Allison Pritchard to throw 76 pitches just two outs into the second inning.

“Whenever someone’s bringing somebody in to pitch, something that the relief pitcher is told is make sure you go in there and pound the zone,” head coach Mike Bosch said. “We were aggressive early in the count and we got results right away.”

Syracuse (19-12 3-6 Atlantic Coast) displayed of fensive prowess it hadn’t shown yet this year. The result was a 13-1 rout of Binghamton (9-16, 2-2 America East) on Wednesday afternoon in the Orange’s first game at Skytop Stadium this season. It was the team’s second game of the year in which it scored more than 10 runs.

Syracuse got production from its whole lineup on Wednesday.

Nine players got hits for SU and 10 players scored runs, contributing to the second highest run total this season for the Orange.

A f ter Pritchard lef t the game in the third inning, SU added another four runs to cap a dominant seven-run inning.

A ll this was happening as Syracuse left-handed pitcher Alexa Romero had one of her best starts of the season, taking all the hope of a comeback away from the Bearcats.

Syracuse’s highest run total this season

“We started being more aggressive,” shortstop and leadoff hitter Sammy Fernandez said. “We started hitting a lot of first pitches, so we made that adjustment really quick.”

The bottom three batters in the lineup — Hannah Dossett, Toni Martin, and Alyssa Dewes — combined for five hits and four RBIs and six runs on the game.

The trio batted in almost 31 percent of SU’s highest run total of the season.

“We’ve really been top heavy for a little while,” Bosch said. “Syd (O’Hara), Faith (Cain), Sammy in the top of the order have been getting people on base and getting people in but we kind of stalled when we got through six through nine. Six through nine really
