SU Abroad program leader to step down from position

By Jordan Muller asst. news editor

Margaret Himley, a leader of Syracuse University’s study abroad programs and associate provost for international education and engagement, will step down from her role at the end of the month, the university announced Tuesday.

Petra Hejnova, director of cur-

riculum and academic services at SU Abroad, will be the program’s interim executive director, according to an SU News release.

After Himley steps down as associate provost on Sept. 30, HIMLEY she will return

to the university in fall 2018, teaching full time as a writing and rhetoric professor.

Himley has helped lead SU’s international education programs since 2011. She has been a part of the SU community for more than 30 years and was named a Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence in 2010.

She was also a founding co-director of SU’s LGBT Studies Program.

More than 40 percent of SU students participate in SU Abroad programs, according to the news release. Under Himley’s leadership, SU’s international programs expanded to include new locations and partnerships.

Exploring Central Europe, a program based in Poland that

SU Abroad launched in 2014, was awarded Excellence in Education Abroad Curriculum Design by the Forum of Education Abroad.

Hejnova, a political science professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, on a three-year courtesy appointment, has worked with SU Abroad since 2014. jmulle01@syr.edu @jordanmuller18

29 schools fall short of sexual assault policy

By Madeleine Davison staff writer

Less than half of New York state’s colleges and universities presented evidence of full compliance with “Enough is Enough,” the state’s campus sexual assault law, according to a report published by the state’s Office of Campus Safety.

Of New York’s 244 higher education institutions, the state found 95 to be fully compliant with the law, while 120 were “significantly compliant” but needed to present additional documentation.

There were 29 schools classified as noncompliant, meaning that they had failed to meet the majority of the law’s requirements, according to a press release published by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s press office on Sept. 19.

The preliminary report, which represents the first of two phases in the state’s review process, required schools to voluntarily send the OCS proof they were in compliance with the law, said Kevin Gagan, director of the OCS. “Enough is Enough,” or Senate Bill S5965, was passed in June 2015.

The bill includes provisions requiring schools to adopt a definition of affirmative consent, implement a drug and alcohol amnesty policy for students who report sexual assault and conduct regular campus climate assessments such as the one SU completed in 2016.

Syracuse University was fully compliant with the legislation, as were many of New York’s top-rank-

ing institutions, including Columbia University, Cornell University and Fordham University, according to the OCS’s data breakdown.

Queensborough Community College, City University of New York Herbert H. Lehman College and City University of New York Brooklyn College were among the 29 schools listed as noncompliant.

CUNY Lehman fully supports the “Enough is Enough” law and is actively addressing any concerns about its policies and processes, said Joseph Tirella, director of media relations at the college, in an email.

Tirella said the college requires student athletes and student leaders to participate in sexual harassment training every year and all students to live in residential housing.

More than 2,000 full and parttime CUNY Lehman students participated in an online Title IX program since spring 2016, she added.

The university has a total enrollment of 13,287, per U.S. News.

Melissa Moore, Title IX coordinator at Bryant and Stratton College in Syracuse, said her school — which was listed as noncompliant in the OCS report — is doing what it can to prevent sexual assault on its campus.

She said Bryant and Stratton currently has an arrangement with a New York State Police detective to investigate reports of sexual assault. The school also provides drug and alcohol amnesty to students who report sexual assault,

and the school now mandates sexual assault prevention training for all athletes, she added.

Moore noted that the drug and alcohol amnesty policy is not contained in the college’s student code of conduct.

She said she was confused as to why Bryant and Stratton was listed as noncompliant given the services it provides and the paperwork she says the college submitted.

“A lot of what they were asking, we actually provided to them … my guess is they haven’t updated whatever the report was,” Moore said.

Other New York colleges — including New York University, the University of Rochester and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute — were listed as “significantly compliant.”

“In what was called ‘significantly compliant’ ... it may have not been clear that the school offered the student the chance to report to the state police as opposed to the local police or the campus police,” Gagan said.

Betsy DeVos, U.S. education secretary, rescinded an Obamaera rule that had colleges use the lowest standard of proof to determine if a student was responsible for sexual assault. DeVos said the rule was unfair to students accused of sexual assault.

“Governor (Cuomo) is committed to enforcement of his ‘Enough is Enough’ legislation no matter what the federal government does,” Gagan said in an email.

Gagan said the next step for the OCS is to investigate schools deemed noncompliant, as well as schools that were significantly compliant but had left some major concerns unaddressed.

Schools that are not fully compliant will be notified and required to submit an action plan to reach full compliance within 30 days, according to the press release. They will also be required to submit documentation that they have reached full compliance within 60 days of being notified.

Schools that don’t comply may be at risk of losing funding, Gagan said.

“Phase two is to first take the schools we had in the red zone of noncompliance, and we have to work with them to get them up to speed,” Gagan said. “What’s more important here than to play ‘gotcha’ and take money away from schools’ funding is to get the schools to comply.” mdavison@syr.edu

Toxic algae blooms in Skaneateles Lake have not affected Syracuse’s local water supply, county officials said.

“The water is being tested daily,” said Lisa Lenny, director of environmental health at the Onondaga County Health Department.

Water in Skaneateles Lake, which is located about 20 miles southwest of Syracuse, has been exposed to a form of toxic algae that can harm humans and animals, officials and experts said.

The lake is a source of drinking water for Onondaga County and the city of Syracuse. Exposure to the algae, from either swimming in or drinking the water, can cause serious health problems, Lenny said.

Skin issues could be an allergic reaction to the algae, she said.

Drinking the water can cause diarrhea or serious conditions such as liver damage.

Fifty-three years. That’s how long it has been since the Civil Rights Act — which codified into law the equal treatment of minorities — was enacted. Is that long enough to heal the wounds inflicted by 245 years of slavery and another 100 years of discriminatory policies?

While 53 years may seem like a long time to many readers, it is important to remind ourselves that the era of government sanctioned racial discrimination is not in the distant past. In fact, it was the era of our parents and grandparents. Expressed in this way, 53 years doesn’t seem like much, does it?

And just as many of our parents and grandparents have continued to live on, so to have many of the underlying biases and prejudices that sustained the system that denied many Americans their inalienable rights for so long. While laws may change overnight, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors take much longer to reform.

Colin Kaepernick first garnered attention for protesting police brutality last year, but his peaceful demonstration was only a manifestation of the frustration, anger and resentment that minority communities have been harboring for decades, especially with respect to law enforcement. Why? When you consider the history of our country, the phrase “law enforcement” almost speaks for itself,

doesn’t it?

For any system of laws to be binding, there must be an enforcement mechanism. Unfortunately, for most of our history, law enforcement demanded not only the apprehension and punishment of those who would steal, assault or murder, but also those who would dare forget their place in society by escaping from a plantation or sitting in the front half of a bus. Do we believe that the culture under which police officers were conditioned to perform their duties on July 1, 1964 suddenly changed the next day with the stroke of President Lyndon Johnson’s pen? Do we believe that the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of those who woke up on the morning of July 1, 1964 perfectly content with the status quo suddenly changed 36 hours later?

Undoubtedly circumstances have changed since 1964, but many biases and prejudices linger. Just four months before Kaepernick’s peaceful expression, the San Francisco Police Department — the department sworn to serve and protect him — was embroiled in a scandal involving the casual use of racial slurs by officers. Clearly, then, the Civil Rights Act marked only the beginning of a process of reconciliation, not the end.

editorial board

Plan should value campus communication Editor’s note: The Daily Orange Editorial Board met with Syracuse University administrators to discuss the Invest Syracuse initiative unveiled INVEST in July. This editorial SYRACUSE is the third in a fourPART 3 OF 4 part series based on that discussion.

Syracuse University is a business, and it has a responsibility to cut costs whenever it’s effective to do so. Still, its business is in education, and students are its primary customers. That means student voices have a stake in cuts the university makes and SU can’t assume employees won’t be affected either.

For example, Schine Student Center services went through some changes this fall. The downstairs copy center was outsourced to multinational corporation Ricoh USA, and CuseTech, which is located on the upper level of the bookstore, no longer offered in-house computer repair services.

These changes can’t be directly attributed to Invest Syracuse. But they do follow the same vein as the initiative’s goal to save money through efficiency cuts and consolidations.

Layoffs were not considered as part of this initiative, said Amir Rahnamay-Azar, SU’s senior vice president and chief financial officer.

“That’s not say as with any other dynamic organization that we will not be looking for efficiencies and opportunities to modernize our services and reduce duplication,” Rahnamay-Azar said. “But that is decidedly a different approach from cutting costs through across the board reductions in the workforce or layoffs.”

what is invest syracuse?

Invest Syracuse is a five-year, $100 million plan supporting Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Academic Strategic Plan. It aims to redefine student experience, advance research and innovation and expand opportunities for students across the socioeconomic spectrum.

As employees naturally leave the university or retire, their positions will be reevaluated and perhaps divvied up to other employees or replaced by technology.

These cuts weren’t in the academic realm, but they play a big role in student life. CuseTech’s closure — which hasn’t been publicized through a campus-wide email — could leave students without quick access to repairs for their technology, which is often

central to their academics.

The university has identified $20 million of potential cuts within its budget as part of the $30 million savings goal. That leaves $10 million — or more — for cuts that are still undecided.

Still, that number indicates SU has made some substantial plans for what on-campus services will be affected. We just don’t know what they are yet.

SU administrators should value communication and giving fair warning with all plans under the Invest Syracuse umbrella, especially when they affect jobs and student services.

Otherwise, the university could face backlash similar to the protests that followed its hush-hush closure of the Advocacy Center in 2014.

It’s been said before, but it’s worth repeating as the university develops this 5-year initiative:.

When SU cuts services, it should strive for transparency from proposal to execution.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community. The editorial board’s stances are determined by a majority of its members.

SU has, so far this semester, hosted two public forums to garner input and answer questions from the campus community. But they left me with more questions than answers.

Invest Syracuse is branded as a five-year program that aims to raise $100 million. But the raised tuition costs won’t go down after five years — or when the $100 million goal is achieved.

Since faculty and student wellness initiatives don’t end after five years, the university will need the extra cash flow from the tuition hike, said Amir Rahnamay-Azar, SU’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, to The Daily Orange Editorial Board.

Six years from now, Invest Syracuse will technically be complete.

yracuse University administrators are selling Invest Syracuse as a “bold approach” to revitalizing the university. The initiative is, indeed, bold in that it aims to raise $100 million for relatively undefined projects. It’s also bold in how it leaves future students bearing nearly one-third of that cost.

The five-year plan aims to redefine student experience, promote innovation and expand opportunity for underrepresented and marginalized students, according to the Invest Syracuse website.

To reach the $100 million goal in the next five years, SU will collect $40 million through private donations and save $30 million by cutting administrative costs. The remaining $30 million will come from a $3,300 tuition increase for incoming students on top of SU’s annual tuition increase of more than 3 percent.

There are aspects of Invest Syracuse that will be assets to students.

But the initiative comes with few specific goals, and potential students should wonder just what their

Invest Syracuse comes on the heels of the university’s Campus Framework plan, which was announced in 2014 and has been updated every year since. The basic goal of the framework is to renovate and update the campus by 2037. The plan’s exact cost is unknown, but renovations to the Carrier Dome and Archbold Gymnasium are esti-

mated to cost $250 million.

In a meeting with The D.O. Editorial Board, Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president of student enrollment and the student experience, said SU administrators have spoken with students “all over the country” and found students don’t value a school’s sticker price as much as other characteristics.

Student experience and campus aesthetics, apparently, hold more weight than the sticker price in a college decision. That mindset is reflected in the framework’s massive renovation plans.

SU’s tuition is low compared to peer institutions, Evanovich said. But unclear, long-term plans might be hard for students, particularly incoming freshmen, to understand.

Fall 2018 and spring 2019’s incoming class could pay $50,230 in tuition alone — financial aid notwithstanding. The total cost of attendance could run up to $72,329, according to the university’s website.

Binghamton University, considered one of the top public schools in New York, costs only $38,980 for outof-state students during the same academic year.

It’s rational for SU to carve out long-term goals in an effort to improve the university and enhance student experience. The financial aid program at SU also has a budget of $255 million, according to the university. $40 million of Invest Syracuse funding is also dedicated to scholarships.

But in today’s era of massive college debt, a stark tuition hike will only turn students away from pursuing an academic career at SU — a reality that goes against the principles of Invest Syracuse itself.

council all be on the ballot this November. The general election will be held Nov. 7.

Here’s a breakdown of the councilors in each of the races:

Presidential candidates: Helen Hudson (D)

Helen Hudson, 57, is a current at-large common council member. She is the chairwoman of the Public Works Committee and is a member of the Education and Human Development, Neighborhood Preservation and Public Safety committees.

Hudson is also heavily involved in community service initiatives. She is the cofounder of Mothers Against Gun Violence and sits on the Onondaga Historical Association’s board of directors.

Hudson hopes to use the new position to act as a mentor for young adults interested in policy and government, she has said, according to Syracuse.com. Hudson could not be reached for comment.

Councilor-At-Large candidates: Khalid Bey (D)

Currently a common councilor for District 4, Khalid Bey is chairman of the committee on economic development.

Born and raised on the city’s South Side, Bey also is an author and manager of a business that focuses on empowering lowincome families in Syracuse. Bey could not be reached for comment.

Timothy Rudd (D)

Timothy Rudd grew up in Syracuse, living in multiple city areas, including the North Side.

If elected councilor-at-large, Rudd said he wants to double the number of Syracuse youth summer jobs available.

There is no reason a young person who wants to get a job can not get one, Rudd said. It’s also a way to combat concentrated poverty in Syracuse and help people make friends, he said.

Rudd has been endorsed by the Democratic Party, Working Families Party, Veteran’s Party, SEIU 1199, United Automobile Workers and the Greater Syracuse from page 1

district 4 Democratic nominee; Quante Wright, on the independence ticket; and Serena “Rahzie” Seals, a Green Party candidate.

The candidates described how they might tackle the city’s relationship with SU, New York state’s I-81 project and local economic development.

Relationship between the city and Syracuse University

SU remains crucial to Syracuse’s economy.

The university provides hundreds of jobs to area residents and has an annual $2.1 billion economic impact on the central New York region, one SU official said in 2015.

Seales, if elected, would work to establish more worker cooperatives between local businesses and SU, or the State University of New York Upstate Medical University, she said.

For example, she said, SUNY Upstate could partner with an old Syracuse textile mill to have the hospital’s laundry washed.

The partnership would create new jobs, said Seales, a local leader of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“It’s not like it can’t be done,” she said, referencing the Evergreen Cooperative Initiative in Cleveland, a job program sponsored in part by University Hospitals of Cleveland.

Allen, a youth program organizer on the from page 3

algae and Forestry, said people who live near Skaneateles Lake have been buying bottled water.

Skaneateles water is also being mixed with Lake Ontario water and then treated with chlorine, he added.

To curb residents’ fear of algae exposure, Lenny said the county health department is testing the water daily and sending it to Albany. She added that any updates on the water condition will be released to the public.

More than 50 bodies of water in New York have similar algae blooms. Boyer said these algae blooms are generally common

Labor Council.

“I see a lot of potential in Syracuse, and I think the government has a large role to play in it,” Rudd said.

Frank Cetera (Green Party) If elected councilor-at-large, the Green Party candidate said he hopes to make an impact on individuals, the city and region.

Cetera is working on legislation to create an employee-ownership business development department. It would help families who own start-ups, worker cooperatives and older baby-boomer businesses, he said.

He also believes Syracuse needs to formally declare itself a sanctuary city and create new legislation and policy accordingly, Cetera said.

“We hope to have (a proposal) ready to create an enforceable mission to keep everyone in Syracuse safe,” Cetera said.

Norm Snyder (R)

Norm Snyder, an Eastwood resident, has run for Common Council multiple times before.

Snyder believes the problems Syracuse is currently facing can be fixed by increasing the number of police officers and pursuing policies that promote property values and growth, according to the Syracuse Republicans website.

District 1 candidates: Joseph Carni (R)

Joseph Carni, the District 1 incumbent, is the Intergovernmental Service Consolidation chairman. If re-elected to the Common Council, Carni said he will “continue to focus on constituents.”

Andrea Bolin Wandersee (D)

Community safety and small business development would be a few of Andrea Wandersee’s main priorities if elected to the Common Council, per her website.

Wandersee plans to improve inclusive hiring practices and diversity training in the city, according to the website.

Supporting local businesses would attract more people to the area, create jobs and improve quality of life, Wandersee said on her website. She also is an advocate for the sanctuary city status and the state’s Interstate 81 community grid option.

South Side, said she would promote more dialogue between Syracuse residents and SU students living off campus.

Students need to form relationships with their local neighbors, she said, and possibly establish informal behavior rules, to remain courteous during the academic year.

Wright, a South Side anti-violence speaker, said he would work with officials to establish inexpensive pathway programs to help residents attend SU. This would “build a bridge” between the city and university, he said.

“I know there’s a big disconnect,” said Wright, who hopes to study either business, public relations or government as part of an SU master’s program, in the future.

Interstate 81

All three candidates said they support a “community grid” alternative for replacing a controversial portion of Interstate 81, called the viaduct, that bisects downtown Syracuse.

That stretch of highway, caked with rust and crumbling in spots, is expected to undergo major reconstruction or deconstruction as part of a state project.

Seales said she is not opposed to the New York State Department of Transportation’s community grid concept, which would destroy the viaduct, redirect highway traffic east around Syracuse on Interstate 481 and cost an estimated $1.3 billion.

But, Seales said, she remains concerned and can form every year.

District 2 candidates: Chad Ryan (D)

Incumbent Chad Ryan, a long-time resident of Tipperary Hill, works for his family’s locally-owned business, according to his campaign’s Facebook page. Ryan has been elected twice to the District 2 seat. Ryan could not be reached for comment.

Eric Graf (Green Party)

Eric Graf, a proponent of grassroots democracy, said his biggest concern in Syracuse is poverty, per Syracuse.com.

He supports a progressive income tax for city workers and residents, part of the Green platform. The income tax would be between one-half and one percent, according to Syracuse.com. This is Graf’s first time running for public office.

District 3 candidates: Susan C. Boyle (D)

Susan Boyle, the District 3 incumbent, is chairwoman of the Education and Human Development Committee.

Boyle admired the responsiveness of the city government even as a volunteer, before she became involved with Common Council, she said.

“It’s just been a passion of mine, community-building,” Boyle said.

Over the next year, Boyle hopes to alleviate Syracuse City School District transportation issues. Some students have to walk more than a mile to get to school each day, she said.

Boyle lives in a valley neighborhood that contains environmentally protected trees and freshwater streams, she said.

Often, Boyle said, sediment builds up in streams there, running through private properties. The city, technically, is not allowed to maintain them, she said. Boyle has been working with Onondaga County to resolve the issue.

Boyle has been endorsed by the Democratic Committee and Working Families Party.

District 4 candidates: Serena Seals (Green Party)

Serena Seals is a leader of the local Black Lives Matter movement. She has helped organize protests and community outreach events across the city, including a recent rally the community grid could harm public housing residents at Pioneer Homes and Toomey Abbott Towers. Most tower residents are either disabled or elderly, she said.

“What does that look like? Are they going to be forced to stay in?” Seales said. Toomey Abbott Towers is adjacent SU’s Brewster, Boland and Brockway halls. Pioneer Homes is wedged between I-81 and SUNY Upstate.

Many kids living at Pioneer Homes also suffer from asthma, Allen said, and officials must keep that in mind as they plan the project. Dust and other debris could be unsafe, both Allen and Seales said.

The Democratic nominee lives off Elk Street, near I-81, and can hear tractortrailers driving along the highway all night, she said.

“I absolutely want to see it come down,” Allen said of the viaduct. The interstate’s original construction damaged once prosperous black communities, such as Pioneer Homes, Wright added.

Pioneer Homes, the oldest public housing complex in New York, is in a census tract referenced by The Century Foundation’s 2015 report on extreme minority poverty.

“Putting I-81 up was one of the worst (ideas) ever in the history of Syracuse,” Wright said.

Economic development

A nationwide decline in manufacturing jobs and the Great Recession hit Syracuse’s econare three to four conditions in which algae blooms can form, Boyer added.

Boyer said the conditions include: warmer temperatures, a source of nitrogen and phosphorus and a stable water column. He said all of these factors must be present, not just one of them, for algae blooms to form.

Harmful algae blooms in freshwater are called cyanobacteria or blue green algae, said Erica Ringewald, a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman, in an email.

Local political representatives have also taken notice of the Skaneateles Lake algae bloom.

“While the City of Syracuse has assured

condemning hate groups that assembled in Charlottesville, Virginia, this summer.

Her campaign focuses on “economic justice” and strengthening the Citizens Review Board, Syracuse’s police watchdog agency, among other things.

Seals’ father held the District 4 seat for eight years before Bey, the current councilor, was elected in 2011.

(Independence

Quante Wright, who spent almost five years in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges, including attempted murder, said he’s been given a second chance. He works on the South Side, where he grew up, supporting youth groups and speaking out against violence.

He has interned with Bey, learning more about local government and the Common Council, he said. Wright recently graduated from Bryant and Stratton College.

Wright said he realized he could make a difference after watching the community. He could be “a new voice” for the people, he said.

Latoya Allen (D)

Latoya Allen, who clinched the Democratic Party nomination earlier this month, organizes a mentorship program on the city’s South Side to help kids learn manners and work skills.

Precious Lily and Brotherhood Foundation, Allen’s program, was founded seven years ago. Allen grew up on the South Side and still lives in the area.

“I need Syracuse to be as safe as possible and as productive as possible,” Allen said.

District 5 candidates: Joseph Driscoll (D)

Joseph Driscoll, a musician by trade, plans to address the concentration of poverty in Syracuse, consolidation of city and county services, lead in Syracuse homes and the community grid plan that may replace Interstate 81, per his website.

Driscoll said on his website he would prioritize education. He also aims to increase investment in the arts and improve local environmental health, according to his website. ssiyer@syr.edu

omy hard.

More than 40,000 people in the city lived below the poverty line last year, United States Census Bureau data shows. And, a recent comptroller report found central New York’s workforce is shrinking.

To combat economic stagnation and poverty, Wright said he would work with the Greater Syracuse Land Bank in an attempt to renovate vacant housing on the South Side.

Fixing up houses to sell could promote new homeownership, he said.

Seales, meanwhile, said she would look to model a new Syracuse electric program off the nearby Village of Solvay Electric Department. Solvay, a suburb near Onondaga Lake, owns its own electric company, the third-largest public power system in New York.

“We can do something like that” to lower electric bills, the Green Party candidate said.

Allen, who did not detail specific economic development initiatives, said she would frequently hold “Coffee With My Councilor” events to discuss District 4 residents’ concerns.

The events would be free and held from Westcott to the South Side, she said.

“You have to deal with each different area” of the district, Allen said. “But, at the same time, you treat everybody’s issues as a priority.” sfogozal@syr.edu | @Sam13738

residents its drinking water systems remain safe, the severe threat of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) must not be taken lightly,” Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., said in a statement.

Katko added in the statement that HABs have affected communities at Owasco Lake, and now, Skaneateles Lake. Drinking water should be continuously monitored, the representative said.

Ringewald said the NYSDEC has advised people to not go near water that is discolored.

Boyer said if the water looks clear, then it is usually safe to drink or swim in. If the water looks pea green, people should stay away.

“It is your health, a little common sense” is necessary, Boyer said. bmoorman@syr.edu

HOPPIN’ HARVEST Local orchards, farms offer U-pick options for fresh fall fun

By Colleen Ferguson contributing writer

A

central New York staple, apple season begins in early September and lasts through most of October.

Pumpkins can be picked now, but will be most active early next month.

With more than a dozen area sites to pick fresh seasonal fruit, the Syracuse area hosts some of the top locations.

Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards

The only New York state apple orchard in the running for USA Today’s “10 Best Readers’ Choice 2017 Award,” Beak & Skiff offers two varieties

of U-pick apples with more pre-picked at the orchard’s Apple Barn.

The Apple Hill campus consists of a country store, a bake shop, a light-fare café with daily specials and a wine tasting room. Its general store has prepared foods, mixes, utensils and other local products. Wagon rides take place all day until 5 p.m. This year’s USA Today poll closed Monday. Beak & Skiff placed first in the same contest in 2015.

Location: 2708 Lords Hill Road, LaFayette Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Sunday U-Pick apple price: $1.15 per pound Come here for: Beak & Skiff’s famous 1911 Spirits. Since 2001, Beak & Skiff has made its own alcohol, starting with hard cider and

adding hard liquor in 2010. The 1911 Spirits brand was the first in Onondaga County to hold a distillery license and also the first to produce gin, according to Beak and Skiff’s website. At the front of the tasting room store this year is a large display of Pommeau — a mixture of apple brandy and apple juice.

Deer Run Farms

Tucked away on Route 11, Deer Run Farms offers six varieties of U-pick apples and pre-bagged items like pumpkins, corn and chrysanthemums in store. New this year are tractor drawn hayrides through the orchard from noon to 5 p.m. on weekends. Fritters are made to order from the see harvest page 10

Location: 2695 NY-11A, LaFayette Hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Sunday, U-pick and kitchen closes at 6:30 p.m.

U-pick apple price: Pay per bag, estimated at 50-70 cents per pound Come here for: Organic apple cider.

Owner Jennifer Streeter said the cider sold on site is UV-treated, with no added chemicals. After the apples are pressed the cider is exposed to non-thermal UV light to kill any harmful bacteria, as opposed to being pasteurized and heated.

Burrell’s Navarino Orchard

Right between Skaneateles and Lafayette, Navarino offers three varieties of U-pick apples.

The orchard also sells pre-picked pumpkins, Italian and purple plums, strawberries, squash, locally grown sweet corn, grapes, peaches and blueberries. All apple cider and baked goods sold in the store are made on site with the orchard’s own fresh produce, according to a store clerk. Apple fritters are made to order from the stand next to the store.

Location: 3655 Cherry Valley Turnpike, Syracuse Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends U-pick apple price: $1 per pound Come here for: Tomato picking. In addi tion to apples, vine-ripened tomatoes are available to pick for $3 per quart.

Customers are advised to call the orchard at 315-925-4422 to check pick ing conditions before visiting.

O’Neill’s Orchard

O’Neill’s offers four varieties of U-pick apples, with more to come next month, and U-pick red raspberries at $3 per level pint until sometime in October, according to its website. Pesticide-free potatoes, corn, and honey are also sold in-store.

Owner Patty O’Neill said the recent hot weather hasn’t affected picking conditions.

“It makes them drop a little faster, but that’s really it,” she said. “They’re already grown.”

Location: 4872 Route 20, Lafayette Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Sunday U-pick apple price: $1 per pound, 50 cents per bag Come here for: A weekend barbecue. In addition to apple cider donuts and the

various goods in-store, brisket, chicken, pulled pork, beans and apple coleslaw — a secret O’Neill recipe — are offered on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tim’s Pumpkin Patch

Located five minutes from the Marcellus location of the Chocolate Pizza Company, which sells its products around Syracuse University, Tim’s offers pumpkins in many sizes, as well as squash, potatoes, donuts and fudge can be found in the bakery or at the outside food stand. Farm animals are also outside for viewing, and tractor wagon rides, corn and hay mazes are offered.

Location: 2901 Rose Hill Road, Marietta Hours: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Sunday U-pick price per pumpkin: $2-$5, depending on size Come here for: A less crowded place to taste 1911 products. On Saturdays and Sundays, Tim’s Farm Brewery tasting barn features locally produced craft beer and hard cider, including Beak & Skiff’s 1911 Spirits and Flower Power IPA prod ucts. Tim’s own hops are used for other seasonal brews served at the farm. Tasti ngs are available in the bakery on weekdays.

The Pumpkin Hollow

Just outside Marcellus, The Pumpkin Hollow offers a variety of regular pumpkins as well as cabbage, kale and chrysanthemums.

Other attractions include an ice cream shop, corn maze, hay rides, face painting and a corn shooting range. Food is served during regular business hours.

Henry Cox, whose family owns the establishment, said the unseasonable temperature changes caused some pumpkins to turn orange later than usual because of the cold earlier in the month. The unseasonable heat, Cox said, makes diseases like mildew spread faster among the pumpkin crop.

Location: 3735 W. Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Sunday U-pick price per pumpkin: $3-$10, dependent on size Come here for: Specialty pumpkins and decorations. Several nonconventional pumpkins are for sale next to the prepicked ones at $5 for a small and $10 for a large. Hand-painted pumpkins are avail able for $4 each in various sizes, and Hal loween decorations are sold in the store. cefergus@syr.edu

Window to INDO Bandier student gains following on SoundCloud with rap originals, mixes

KEDAR RAMANATHAN, a sophomore in the Bandier program, goes by the stage name Indo. His recent collaborations with Syracuse University students have earned him a substantial following on SoundCloud and YouTube. paul schlesinger asst. photo editor

By Kayla Anderson contributing writer

K

edar Ramanathan has been a musician since the age of 4, when his aunt taught him to play the piano. But as a college student, his taste has shifted from his classical roots to the world of rap.

INDO, a rapper from New Jersey, has been on the rise in the East Coast after his performance at The Great New York State Fair and the release of his single, “International.”

The song recently passed 10,000 spins on SoundCloud.

RAMANATHAN Ramanathan, who goes by the stage name INDO, played the clarinet and bass clarinet. With a developing ear and constant creative exposure, he began exploring other genres of the musical world.

“I think it is nice having played hymns on piano and having played classical music,” Ramanathan said. “Being musically diverse has helped a lot. It gave me wider capabilities.”

In sixth grade, Ramanathan discovered rap music when Eminem came out with his album, “Recovery.” The sophomore Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries student was taken with the album, listening to it nonstop and learning all the lyrics to every song.

One evening in 2011, at a friend’s house, the

friend’s mom overheard Ramanathan rapping Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now.” Impressed with his ability to keep up with the fast-paced and advanced level of music, she told him he should be a rapper.

“It was the first time an adult had told me to go for it,” Ramanathan said. “And I was like, ‘Why not?’”

He began writing a couple of lines here and there, a method he still uses to write songs. The words are kept safe in the “Notes” section of his iPhone. When inspiration strikes, he types the lines in there. From there, he pieces all his little ideas together and turns them into verses.

The first full song he ever wrote was a remix of the song “Beautiful” by Eminem. Ramanathan wrote his own verses to the beat while he was upset over a girl.

The next remix was of 50 Cent’s “I Get Money,” and was Ramanathan first SoundCloud upload.

Both have since been taken down by SoundCloud, but “I Get Money” got 721 spins.

In his senior year of high school, Ramanathan wrote a remix to “The Way I Am” by Eminem. It is the fourth most popular song on his SoundCloud clocking in at more than 2,300 spins and exceeding its download limit.

Then he came to Syracuse. After only a few days, he met his now-producers, Jon Rahi and George Schaefer. All three linked up because they produced music in high school.

“Kedar is great to work with in the studio,” Schaefer said. “He is so hard-working and talented.”

Ramanathan’s first project in college was a single called “Ugly.” It was inspired by something one of Ramanathan’s family friends told him his freshman year of high school: “You must have mad game because you mad ugly.”

He couldn’t get the words out of his head.

Ramanathan thought he was ready to release it in mid-September. He wrote “Ugly” with no beat in mind. He downloaded a random beat from the internet and planned to publish his song that way.

After hearing the song, Schaefer and Rahi wouldn’t allow it to be released in that condition.

Two weeks later they went back to him with a new beat, five months later, Ramanathan released an improved version of “Ugly.”

Today it has more than 4,000 hits on SoundCloud.

Ramanathan went on a family trip to Egypt not long after. While there, he wrote “International” and filmed the scenes for a music video.

He said one of the most difficult things about producing music independently is getting and retaining fans. It takes a long time to produce the next song and it’s hard to keep people’s interest. Ramanathan said he hopes to put out more music at a much faster pace. He also hopes to do more live performances, but he will settle for a job in production.

“Regardless of what I end up doing, I want to work in the music industry,” he said. “Working closely with artists, helping to create content.

The title doesn’t matter to me, as long as I’m making music.” kander01@syr.edu

chubb 9

The Daily

Wolfpack is coming off an upset road victory against then-No. 12 Florida State, when it got four total sacks. The defense is led by defensive end Bradley Chubb, a preseason first-team All-ACC selection who had two sacks and eight quarterback pressures last week, according to Pro Football Focus.

“Start with him,” SU head coach Dino Babers said when asked how to slow down the N.C. State pass rush. “He’s really, really good.

He’s (a) fantastic player, fantastic pass rusher.”

Chubb had eight tackles in last year’s matchup between the teams, as well as two of N.C. State’s three sacks. As of Tuesday night, it’s unclear who’ll be matched up with the defensive end.

N.C. State lines Chubb at different spots throughout the game. Last year, one of his sacks came while he was on the left side of the defensive line. Another came while he was standing up, hovering right behind the defensive tackle before crashing in. He also stuffed a few running plays while lined up on the right side of the line.

It’s likely that redshirt-senior Jamar McGloster will have to face Chubb in some capacity. McGloster is the SU’s starting right tackle. The Orange’s starting left tackle, Cody Conway, left Saturday’s matchup with LSU with an injury toward the end of the game, and it’s unclear if he’ll play in the upcoming matchup. When Conway left, McGloster shifted over to left tackle.

Preparation for this week hasn’t been different, McGloster said, and that the Wolfpack front seven is one of the best Syracuse will Orange 9/26/17 Sudoku go up against. McGloster pointed out that Chubb’s versatility makes him tough to guard, although he said defensive linemen don’t

power off the ball like they do when standing straight up.

“He’s strong and fast,” McGloster said.

“Some kids are just fast, some kids are strong … he can do both.”

Another option to try and slow down Chubb and the pass rush is to keep extra blockers in the formation. The Orange has run a lot of sets with tight end Ravian Pierce serving as the extra blocker. The other option is keeping the running back in the backfield to block.

Babers has heaped praise on starting running back Dontae Strickland before for his ability as a pass blocker. Strickland attributed his success in that area, particularly in knowing how to pick up a blitz, from watching extra film in the offseason and from natural instinct. Strickland, who is used in the passing game, can also chip a defensive end while running out into the flat.

“They’re harping on us to do that this weekend a lot more than others,” Strickland said.

“I’ll probably get a few chips this weekend.”

Dungey didn’t play in last year’s matchup against N.C. State, sitting the game out with an injury. He doesn’t expect a change in the offensive game plan to try and slow down the pass rush. Mostly, Dungey has been looking at tape from last year. He hasn’t talked with backup Zack Mahoney about the game, but is watching tape of how Mahoney handled it.

The Wolfpack pass rush helped limit the Orange to less than 20 minutes of possession. SU will need an answer to that to get a win on Saturday.

“Their front seven is exceptional,” Babers said. “The more you try to do things into that front seven, you better be exactly right.

Because if you’re not, your success is going to be very, very limited.”

Freshman forward Carolin Hoffmann excels on defense

By Billy Heyen

asst. digital editor

Whenever Syracuse head coach Ange Bradley is asked about Carolin Hoffmann, Syracuse’s second-leading goal scorer, Bradley’s response usually has little to do with her offensive prowess.

“Her ability to defend as a forward is really good,” Bradley said when asked why she recruited Hoffmann.

No. 7 Syracuse (8-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) has not only benefitted from the freshman’s five goals but her ability to set the line of pressure for a defense which has allowed just five goals in 10 games.

Most often against its opposition, SU controls possession and works its way into the attacking third before the other team can retake control. When the Orange’s opponents win the ball back and look to move up the field, they must first bypass the Orange’s forwards, specifically Hoffmann.

Her work establishes the tone for the rest of the line. With her stick held in an outstretched right arm, Hoffmann sprints back and forth as the opposition’s backs swing the ball across the field. If there’s a misplaced touch, Hoffmann quickly goes from moving laterally to choppy steps directly on the ball.

“She fits really well into our system,” Bradley said. “The way that we like to run an offense

as well as a defense.”

Back in Germany, Hoffmann played for HTC Uhlenhorst Mulheim, a highly successful club team. While Hoffmann was with the team, it was promoted to Germany’s top league. Bradley pointed out how impressive it was for a high schooler to be playing with Olympians, but Hoffmann remembered it also meant she didn’t always stand out.

“My old coaches always said that my defense is like my biggest weakness,” Hoffmann said.

That contrasts why Bradley recruited Hoffmann in the first place. The freshman credited practicing over the summer once she arrived in Syracuse as the reason behind her defensive improvement, also because Bradley emphasizes on-ball pressure when the other team control possession.

Hoffmann also said she saw improvement because of the players around her.

“It’s not only the forwards, it’s also the midfielders, who structure us and tell us how we have to stand,” Hoffmann said.

That communication comes from Syracuse’s defensive third. Goalkeeper Borg van der Velde relays instructions to the the backs who advise the midfielders. As a forward, Hoffmann needs a lot of pieces behind her to click before fully understanding the defensive assignments.

And, so far this season, they have. Both of Syracuse’s losses have come in overtime,

which forces teams to drop normal lineups of 11 players down to seven each. When playing in regulation, the Orange has succeeded mostly by keeping the ball pinned in the opponent’s end of the field. And the team’s second-leading scorer has keyed up that pressure.

Following Syracuse’s 5-0 dismantling of Bucknell on Sept. 2, Hoffmann was asked about what led to the success on that day.

She pointed to the defense, even though she scored a goal. And when asked Sept. 20 about her defending, Hoffmann concluded her answer with a favorite line: “Defense wins championships.”

“Honestly, I don’t really think about like ‘I have to do this, I have to do this,’” Hoffmann said. “I’m just playing.” wmheyen@syr.edu | @wheyen3

North Texas’ Jalen Guyton thrives after two transfers

By Nick Alvarez staff writer

Jalen Guyton has dedicated his life to football.

He grew up in a town where state champions are the closest thing to royalty and played multiple games in an NFL stadium.

“I have a new type of respect for football,” Guyton said. “I kind of look at life in terms of football. Today is a football game that I got to overcome. This week is a football game. It’s a metaphor for life.”

Currently at North Texas (2-2, 1-0 Conference USA), his third college in three years, Guyton is trying to hang onto his NFL dream.

A four-star recruit out of Allen (Texas) High school, Guyton committed to Notre Dame and redshirted his first season. On Dec. 18, 2015, two weeks before the Irish faced Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, Guyton was suspended for disciplinary reasons and left the program.

from page 16

franklin said. “I don’t just want to change the game. I want to be a difference-maker on the field.”

In the spring of 2013, former SU defensive line coach Tim Daoust picked up Scott Shafer from Philadelphia International Airport and the pair set off for Shafer’s three recruiting visits. Shafer’s list that day included eventual Syracuse safety Rodney Williams, as well as Franklin. Shafer, at another recruit’s house, had polished off a steak shortly before arriving at Franklin’s house. Once there, Shafer sat down at the table, saw a plate of Philly cheesesteaks and looked up.

There was no way Shafer could eat this. It would be his third meal in as many hours.

Franklin motioned for Shafer to get up from the table, pulled him aside and smirked at his recruiter.

“Coach, you’ve got to eat the Philly cheesesteak,” Franklin quipped.

It was the same humor Franklin has showed in his four years at Syracuse. When sophomore wide receiver Devin C. Butler missed an optional practice last season, Franklin called him later that day and told him not to miss optional practices again. He loosens up every room he’s in, former players and coaches said, and helps players who are down refocus on the task at hand. Those who know him attribute it to his ability to relate to seemingly everyone; Franklin once served as president of his frater-

After a one-year stint at Trinity Valley (Texas) Community College, Guyton returned to Division I football and enrolled at North Texas. Guyton has started all four games and is second on the team with four touchdowns.

“I don’t see (UNT) as an endgame,” Guyton said. “Right now, I’m focused on being the best football player, student, teammate I can be.”

As a child, he spent Sundays either watching the Dallas Cowboys at home or driving an hour south to AT&T Stadium. In high school, he played in a $60 million, 18,000-seat stadium and in the aura of being one of the best players in Texas. The pinnacle of Guyton’s high school career came in 2014, when he led the Allen Eagles to its third-straight Class 6A state title and played in front more than 50,000 people in AT&T Stadium.

“When you’re in the stands, it’s great,” Guyton said. “When you’re on the field you’re the apex of everybody’s attention.”

On Feb. 4, 2015, UND head coach Brian Kelly tweeted a photo with his arm around Guyton with the caption, “Had to pull out all stops to get my man from Texas, including a boat, jet skis and floaties. Haha! Welcome, J!” Less than a year later, Guyton was prohibited from attending the Irish’s annual awards dinner and started looking for a new school.

His dad, Jeff, likened the transfer process to starting over. No longer a blue-chip recruit, Guyton went to TVCC. He left an expansive stadium and sleek locker rooms for Bruce Field a stadium with a capacity of 4,000, onefourth of Allen’s stadium. “(Playing at Trinity Valley) opened my eyes,” Guyton said. “It makes you want to love football more. I learned at (TVCC). I appreciate it, I think I needed that experience.”

In 12 games for the Cardinals, Guyton caught 45 passes for 968 yards and 12 touch-

downs. 247Sports.com rated him as the third best 2017 JUCO wide receiver. Texas was where his career began and leaving for Notre Dame almost ruined it. Returning saved it.

After rejecting offers from Marshall, Bowling Green and West Virginia, Guyton opted to stay close to home and chose North Texas — an hour away from his hometown — and became a part of the football team’s leadership council.

During the Mean Green’s fourth contest of the season on Sept. 23, Guyton ran a go-route down the right sidelne. All along, battling with the cornerback, he located the ball and grabbed it over the top of the defender. Twenty yards from the end zone, he juked past the safety and carried another defender over the goal line in an eventual 46-43 win.

“You can always battle back,” Guyton said.

“It’s not really about what happens to you, it’s about how you react.”

nity, SU’s Omega Psi Phi chapter.

“Coach Shafer sat me down as a freshman and said, ‘Look, I think you can be a captain as a sophomore.’” Franklin said. “And I kind of looked at him like he was crazy, knowing that we had seniors coming back. But he’s the one that just kind of gave me that freedom and that courage to be a leader even as a young guy on the team.”

Earlier this month, Franklin rattled off several of his favorite cheesesteak and burger spots back home, including Drake Tavern on York Road in Jenkintown. It was there that, after practices at La Salle College (Pennsylvania) High School, Franklin and former La Salle coach Eric Taylor chowed down on burgers.

They often ate after the long days which helped shape Franklin’s muscular 6-foot, 236-pound frame. Before his freshman year at SU, he spent hot June afternoons at La Salle with Taylor. At the start of a specific cardio workout program in particular, Taylor recalled, Franklin and seven others lined up for Day 1. The second week, three were left. Then two. Then only Zaire, who remained focused on ranking near the top of the conditioning test at SU. Sometimes, Taylor said, Franklin showed up already having run earlier that morning. Then he’d then run suicides, then a hill nearby and then finished with kettlebell workouts.

“It was like watching Bruce Banner becoming the Hulk,” Connor Resch, Franklin’s former La Salle teammate, said.

This June, Franklin called Taylor and asked to work out. He searched through Taylor’s garage for stepover bags and hurdles so he could work out the next day at 6 a.m.

John Steinmetz, Franklin’s high school defensive coordinator, knew he had a special player when Franklin fired him questions about the defense before he played a down of varsity football. He quizzed his coach on the schemes and, when he became a starter as a sophomore, sent Steinmetz emails the day before games, clarifying coverages or film study.

At Syracuse, Shafer remembered walking into the football offices to find Franklin and former SU graduate assistant coach Siriki Diabate glued to a screen, studying film before 7 a.m.

In Shafer’s last season, former SU quarterback Terrel Hunt said, some players “began failing drug tests.” Franklin fumed. He created contracts for team members to sign, stating that they would never be late to team meetings and workouts again, and that they would abstain from alcohol and drugs.

“It was, ‘Who’s this little sophomore trying to start up things?’” Hunt said. “Sure enough, everyone was there. He made the whole defense work out. … And the thing that makes him special is he doesn’t worry about who gets the credit.”

On the field, several players said what sticks out most about Franklin is his voice, a deep bass thundering through the crowd. Off it, Shafer remembered pulling in guys to his

office for meetings. Any problems players had, from health to playing time to family issues, he was often the second person to address them.

Franklin had gotten there first.

“Zaire always knew where these guys were and what their issues were,” Shafer said. “He was always helping guys behind the scenes, unbeknownst to the coaches.”

Now, in regular YouTube segments called “Z60,” Franklin asks teammates what motivates them. In the Sept. 6 edition, he asked redshirt junior wide receiver Jamal Custis what inspires him. Custis looked back to his childhood, when he grew up with his single mother. His father died when he was 4.

“She did everything she can to get me to where I’m at,” Custis told Franklin. “I feel like I have to repay her.”

One of the first times Franklin stepped into a Syracuse weight room, he was on his official visit. He could not work out because of NCAA policy, but he and other commits watched as former SU linebacker Josh Kirkland hang-cleaned 331 pounds. As music blared from the speakers, Franklin burst from the side. He clapped his hands and jumped. He yelled that he wanted to someday become the guy cleaning 300-plus pounds, his teammates rallying around him.

“He has this enthusiasm, this juice that can’t be matched by anyone,” former Syracuse quarterback AJ Long said.

“It’s who he’s always been, and who he’ll always be.”

Orange slips 1 spot down to No. 7 in Top 25 coaches poll

By Andrew Graham asst. copy editor

Syracuse dropped one spot to No. 7 in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association rankings, released Tuesday.

The one-spot slide comes a week after Syracuse (8-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) dropped from No. 3 to No. 6. On Saturday, SU dropped an overtime bout to then-No. 7 North Carolina, 3-2. The Tar Heels now hold the No. 5 ranking, receiving one first place vote.

Connecticut remains undefeated and holds the top spot, and No. 2 Duke stayed put from

last week. Virginia and Penn State flipped spots, with the Cavaliers jumping the Nittany Lions for the third spot.

Seven ACC teams are ranked, with five in the Top 10. Duke is the highest at No. 2, followed by UVA at No. 3 and UNC rounding out the Top 5. No. 9 Boston College is the last ACC team in the Top 10. Louisville (No. 12) and Wake Forest (No. 13) are the other two ranked ACC teams.

Syracuse next plays at No. 12 Louisville on Friday, followed by a Sunday game at J.S. Coyne Stadium against No. 16 Princeton. aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

LEAD Senior linebacker Zaire Franklin looks to cap off career as 3-year captain

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. sports editor

O

n a wooden bench in Manley Field House, Julian Whigham slumped his head. In 2014, he found himself reading often about blown coverages and penalty flags, his junior season not living up to the hype. This article in particular though, he said, criticized him as the focal point of Syracuse’s defensive struggles in a year when the Orange finished 3-9. Two lockers down, a freshman linebacker noticed his teammate’s body language. He walked over and slapped him on the shoulder.

“He goes, ‘You good, Whig?’” Whigham said. “The way he said it, his positive energy, it made me feel better.”

It was Zaire Franklin, with his deep, friendly “Barry White-ish” voice. The same freshman who called for 6 a.m. linebackers meetings. The

football

same freshman who, after older teammates missed tackles or assignments, tapped them on the helmet to remind them to lock in. The same freshman who grew up early, about a year removed from the deaths of his mother and grandmother, which both still drive him.

This fall, the senior middle linebacker is the first three-time captain in more than 100 years.

Franklin committed to SU as a three-star linebacker from North Philadelphia and how he became a leading man on the much-improved Syracuse (2-2) defense traces not to his big hits or pregame pep talks, but to his Philly roots and the SU locker rooms of two and three years ago.

Yet, he knows what’s at stake, because if this season ends like the last three, Franklin will have helmed Syracuse’s first graduating class since 2009 to finish without a winning season.

Disruptive DL Chubb awaits SU Senior Steve Ishmael added to watch list

By Tomer Langer

senior staff writer

One of the most effective ways to slow down Syracuse’s high-powered offense is by pressuring the quarterback. Eric Dungey and the Orange saw this in Week 2 against Middle Tennessee State.

The Blue Raiders brought pressure early and often, and it led to serious first quarter struggles for the Orange. Dungey was sacked three times as the team lost yards on each of its five possessions.

Syracuse (2-2) will face one of its toughest pass-rushing threats so far this season when it takes on North Carolina State (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) in its ACC opener. The see chubb page 12

Syracuse senior wide receiver Steve Ishmael was added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List on Tuesday, the award’s committee announced.

Ishmael was added to the list by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, along with nine other receivers. The Biletnikoff Award is given annually to the nation’s top receiver. Ishmael joins teammate and fellow SU receiver Ervin Philips on the watch list.

SU’s top target, Ishmael leads the country in receptions (45) and recep-

tions per game (11.3) while ranking third in total receiving yards (512).

Ishmael has had 100 yards receiving in each of the Orange’s first four games. He is one game shy of tying Amba Etta-Tawo’s SU record fivestraight 100 yard games.

More additions to the watch list will be released periodically throughout the season.

Ten semifinalists will be named on Nov. 13 and three finalists listed on Nov. 21. The winner of the Biletnikoff Award will be announced on Dec. 7. aegraham@syr.edu @A_E_Graham
