City of Oswego School District in need of student substitutes Cole Parzych Editor-in-Chief cparzych@oswegonian.com A shortage of substitute teachers within the Oswego City School District has prompted the school district to begin working closely with the Oswego State School of Education to boost the student teacher pool of qualified personnel. “Just yesterday I received this email that one building had five people out that they could not cover,” said Christine Walsh, education professor and Oswego State professional development school liaison. The Oswego City School District is the only district in Oswego County

that requires their substitutes to have a bachelor’s degree, district superintendent Dean Goewey said. “The shortage of subs is particularly difficult for us because we have a higher standard for our subs,” Goewey said. “I’ve been brainstorming over the last year of ways to find solutions to increase our availability of subs.” Goewey said he and the Board of Education decided the next course of action was for him to reach out to the school of education to begin recruitment. The school district is in search of junior and senior education majors to be screened, approved and put on the sub list. Walsh said the two schools have a

Distracted drivers caught by UP University Police seek to stop behind-the-wheel texting Jamie Aranoff Staff Writer news@oswegonian.com Every year, distracted driving kills over 3,000 people and injures almost 400,000. In an attempt to combat this epidemic, the Oswego State University Police has administered over 100 tickets for the use of electronic devices yearly since 2014. “Distracted driving is bad. Texting is worse,” said Assistant University Police Chief Kevin Velzy. There are three types of distraction while driving, Velzy said: manual, cognitive and visual. Texting and driving uses all three of these distractions, making it incredibly dangerous. According to University Police, the number of tickets issued for usage of a mobile phone or electronic devices while driving has increased tremendously from five tickets in 2008 to over 100 in 2017 with still three months remaining in the calendar year. Velzy correlates this increase with the distinct increase of cellphone and especially smartphone usage. Approximately 80 percent of the entire U.S. population owns a smartphone, according to the data from the U.S. Census and the Council of Interstate Testing Agencies. What is even more startling is how we as a society have lost the

ability to put down our mobile devices, Velzy said. “It’s becoming an addictive behavior where people hear that ‘ding’ on their phone and they can’t ignore it,” Velzy said. Cellphone usage is becoming so common in the driver’s seat that some laws have been changed to give enforcers access to cellphones post-crash. Sometimes it’s hard to prove, for instance, if you had a fatal accident,” Vel-

zy soad. “Now they’re changing the laws where law enforcement can actually go in and look at phone data, forensics and say ‘yeah the person was on their phone when the accident happened and that’s what caused the accident.” Even with the changing of laws and hefty ticket consequences, students are not refraining from distracted driving. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation

Oswego State hosts Stride to Save Lives Counseling Services Center 5K held in rememberance of those who lost their lives to suicide offers screening for depression Jessica Wickham Copy Editor jwickham@oswegonian.com

The ring of a bell echoed across the quad by Hewitt Union at Oswego State 51 times on Saturday as it followed the names of loved ones lost to suicide. Head of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education CNY Jaime Leszczynski, an Oswego State alumna, and her committee of 10 women organized its 7th annual Stride to Save Lives 5K on Saturday. 800 attendees walked or ran 3.1 miles around Oswego State, remembered those who have died from suicide and spread awareness with the hopes to end the upward trend. SAVE CNY collaborated with the city of Oswego and other organizations around the Central New York area to further affect the community. Mayor Billy Barlow spoke at the event and read aloud a proclama-

As part of Depression Awareness Month, the Counseling Services Center held screenings and a student organization spread the word about important resources on Thursday. Some students said that though these resources are important, more needs to be done for students to know about this issue. Oct. 5 was annual National Depression Screening Day, and the Mary Walker Health Center participated by providing students with in-person and online depression screenings. The screenings, available any time online, provide a series of questions for students to answer about depression-like symptoms they may be experiencing. If the screening indicates they are at risk for depression, the site

Counselors would follow up with students who took the in-person screenings, interpret their scores, and offer strategies and tools for managing symptoms of depressed mood or depression. Everything stays confidential. Referrals and grief counselors were offered to any students who wanted them, as is always available through the health center, according to

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Officers do enjoy interacting with citizens, and you have to remember that all officers are citizens themselves.” -Oswego State University Police Chief John Rossi

THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 2017

University Police, students talk over coffee Officers hope casual discussions will spark better relations on campus Jordan DeLucia Copy Editor jdelucia@oswegonian.com Many U.S. police offers have been trying to establish good community relations with their citizens in addition to building on the ones already present. The Oswego State University Police is looking to do the same through the Coffee with a Cop event, held in the Lake Effect Café once every semester. Oswego State officers first established an event like this in the Marano Campus Center about three years ago, according to University Police Chief John Rossi. Previously, it was only a table setup where students could come up and chat with officers about their concerns or ask general questions about police work. The turnout was less than impressive, Rossi said, so they decided to move the event to the Lake Effect Café and become part of National Coffee with a Cop Day. Wednesday, Oct. 4 was the second annual National Coffee with a Cop Day, where people from all over the U.S. could visit their local police department in addition to casually chatting with officers, and have a cup of coffee and a doughnut too. The national organization’s website said the event first started in Hawthorne, California and is now recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice. They officially declared the first Wednesday in October as the date for the annual event and has had events in all 50 U.S. states and nine different countries. “It’s a community policing initiative [for citizens] to get to know our jurisdiction a little bit better and hear everybody’s comments, concerns and suggestions,” Rossi said. Since the event’s move to the Penfield Library cafe, University Police has seen a major increase in involvement. “We actually had to re-order our coffee three different times because we had such an increase in people coming over and spending time with us, compared to the times we did it in Marano Campus Center,” Rossi said. University Police joined the national organization because officers felt it was an effective method of getting to know the students personally and hear about their concerns. They are here to serve those that attend Oswego State and want to become closer to those in the campus

community, in addition to being resources for assistance with other issues outside of law enforcement. “Officers do enjoy interacting with citizens, and you have to remember that all officers are citizens themselves,” Rossi said. “We all have private lives, we’re all part of our communities, and we wouldn’t be in this business if we didn’t enjoy reaching out to our community.” The most commonly asked questions at the Oswego State events are about the parking situation. Numerous students are annoyed that there are not enough spaces to park their vehicles on campus, and Sergeant Rich Sherwood says it is because nobody wants to walk long distances to get to class. “Everybody wants to park right next to their building and that’s not always possible,” he said. “It’s an easy thing to complain and have concerns about. We do our best to try to enforce it so it’s fair for everyone.” Establishing good officer-to-student relations is something University Police takes very seriously, and officers feel that events like Coffee with a Cop help to get those concerns from students and make the campus community a safer and happier place. “Each community is different, and we

want to police our community the way our residents and students want it to be policed,” Rossi said. “We are the experts in public safety and we have a lot of resources to bring out into the public. Community policing has proven to lower the crime rate and make the area safer.” Sherwood also said that having a community that trusts its police can make it safer for everyone. “If you see something, say something. We can’t be the eyes and ears everywhere,” Sherwood said. “The more civilians out there assisting us with our job that we’re called on to do, the safer our community’s going to be.” It is also very important for students to trust officers to do their jobs. Without dependability, relations fall apart. Oswego State Chief Communication Officer Wayne Westervelt also shared his thoughts on how effective events like these can be in establishing good relations with students and officers. “It’s very important for our University Police to have really strong relationships with our students, with our staff and faculty so that there’s a confidence level and a reliability effort that they’re here really to serve us and ensure our safety on campus,” Westervelt said.

A4 NEWS Professor researching neurodegenerative disease Campus cops pulling over those Sungeun Kim recieves grant for work on data-driven Alzheimer's research who text while behind wheel THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 2017

Conrad Hoyt Staff Writer news@oswegonian.com

Oswego State professor Sungeun Kim recently received a grant award of nearly $119,000 to further his research on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The grant is from the National Institute on Aging and the National Library of Medicine of the National Institute of Health and is meant to assist in work that Kim has already begun in collaboration with two other researchers. Kim’s partners are Indiana University colleague Kwangsik Nho and Geisinger Health System faculty member Dokyoon Kim. They are working together to find earlier and more accurate diagnoses of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Kim’s research and interests span across bioinformatics, bioinstrumentation, neuroscience and genetics, which is partly why he was chosen to be joint head of this project. Bioinformatics develops methods for understanding biological data, and bioinstrumentation is the use of bioelectric instruments for the recording or transmitting of physiological information. “[The] primary reason is to allocate our time to work on this project,” Kim said. “Also, only three [principal investigators] are not enough to develop programs that we proposed because we

need more manual labor and non-technical expertise in this project. In addition to this salary portion in our budget, we allocate money for travel to attend related conferences, publication, purchasing computing equipment and some others.” Kim hopes to hire several students, both undergraduate and graduate, to assist him with this project. Kim said the

grant gives them time, resources and extra hands and opinions to contribute toward the study. Kim said he hopes to gain insight into potential treatment methods for Alzheimer’s. “Alzheimer’s disease as an exemplar is an increasingly common progressive neurodegenerative condition with no

validated disease modifying treatment,” Kim said. “The proposed multivariate methods are likely to help identify novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for [Alzheimer’s disease].” With his methods, Kim hopes to be able to identify neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more effectively. Kim is teaching a class on electromagnetics and a seminar in electrical and computer engineering this fall at Oswego State in addition to developing a bioinstrumentation course for the future. Kim said that the extra time and money given by the National Institute on Aging can go a long way toward the success of this project. Wilson Kane, an Oswego State student, has a grandparent with Alzheimer’s disease. “Seeing the toll it takes on not only the person itself, but the family as well, I think it’s toward a good cause,” Kane said. “Maybe he will find answers about the disease that we did not know before.” More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, and 1 in 10 adults over the age of 65 has the disease, according to alz.org, the official Alzheimer’s Organization website. Kim said that the research he and his colleagues are working on hopes to combat the steady rise in percentage of Americans with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

DISTRACTED from COVER last year increasing the cellphone and distracted driving violation to five license points and up to $150. “From the studies I’ve seen, tickets aren’t working,” Velzy said. The cellphone epidemic, as he stated, is one that needs to change. People are addicted to their phones while driving, and it just is not worth endangering other lives. “I’m pretty against texting and driving, but if someone texts me, I’ll glance and see who it is,” Brianna Smith, a junior marketing major, said. A statistic from Lookout reports that 58 percent of smartphone users do not go one

hour without checking their phones, and 68 percent of this number comes from the 18-to 34-year-old demographic. A poll from TIME Mobility reported that 84 percent of people could not go a single day without their phones. The struggle between looking down at a phone and eyes on the road continues to be a major issue, Vlezy said. He fears that the struggle could take as long as the enforcement of seatbelts in the state, which after 33 years is only 91 percent followed. Velzy also stated that the biggest battle is to educate people of the dangers and encourage all students to visit the University Police Facebook page where information and informative videos are shared.

A5 NEWS Oswego City Council starts SAVE CNY advocates for suicide prevention broadcasting with high school Group tours Central New York to speak at middle, high schools THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 2017

Shenandoah Briere Chief Copy Editor sbriere@oswegonian.com The Oswego City mayor’s office has entered into an agreement with the Oswego High School to televise the common council and city committee meetings. The high school’s TV station, WBUC, will broadcast the common council meetings, which take place every second and fourth Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. They will also air the committee meetings, which are every first and third Monday at 6:30 p.m. Mayor William Barlow said that the meetings used to be televised, but that ended. He said televising the meetings was something he wanted to bring back to the community ever since he took office in 2015. “I believe it’s important for local government especially to be as transparent as possible, and I think one of the easiest ways to be transparent is to improve the accessibility to local elected officials and to the process that is local government,” Barlow said. “So bringing the committee meetings and common council meetings on TV allows people to watch city government work, to see how things unfold and to see how issues come to light through the committee and council process." Barlow said he believes that televising the meetings will provide more opportunity for people to be informed. He also said that because not as many people can make it to the meetings in person, this will allow more people to see the meetings. Barlow said he had one problem with

implementing his idea: making it cost effective for the city. After talking with the director of technology, Jamie Sykut, and working with the superintendent, Barlow said the plan worked itself out. Matthew Bock, who oversees the TV studio, said the cooperation between the city and the station has been exciting. “It’s a great way for the TV studio as well as the school district to work with the city,” Bock said. “It’s one of my goals, one of our goals in the TV studio this year, to kind of spread our wings a little bit more outside of just the high school here and do more with the community and the city as a whole. I think this is a great way to kind of start that off and, you know, get that rolling.” On Sept. 28, WBUC aired the first common council meeting. On Monday, the city recorded its first committee meeting and gave it to the station for a student director to edit and air. Barlow said late notice was given about the partnership, but he believes in coming weeks people will feel more inclined to have a voice in the community. “I do think that we will receive more feedback on any given issue because more people will be aware of what’s going on,” Barlow said. “A lot of times I think people, by the time they read about something online or in the newspaper, they feel it’s already too late to have their voice heard, as if the actions already been taken.” Barlow said he thinks that if people can see that an issue is being debated by the council, they will be more likely to get involved in the process. The meetings air every Thursday at 5 p.m. on channel 16 and continue on a loop throughout the weekend.

Leszczynski created SAVE CNY, the first of 18 national charters of the nonprofit organization, eight years after her brother took his own life in 2002 with the goal of spreading inspiration and hope. Throughout the year, the organization visits middle schools and high schools, hosts support groups and trains people in the community to recognize the warning signs of suicide to help prevent it. The Stride to Save Lives event raised about $25,000 to go toward these efforts in the community. "I was always looking for a way to take something so negative and spin it into something positive,” Leszczynski said. “I knew I couldn’t save everybody, but if I could help one person or one family from going through what we did, then it would make it all worthwhile.” Oswego County had the largest population adjusted suicide mortality rate in all of Central New York between 2013 and 2015. The CNY region’s average adjusted rate was 11.4 out of 100,000, and Oswego County’s exceeded it at 14.7 out of 100,000, according to New York State Department of Health. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Americans 15 years old to 24 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mariah Santana, one of the volunteers at the event and a second-year senior at Oswego State, spoke of her own struggles with mental illness and the death of her mother’s boyfriend by suicide. She encouraged the attendees to keep moving forward and to savor the small things in life. “Every day is an opportunity to love like you never have before, an opportunity to breathe in the fresh air, to learn, to live and to dance in the rain,” Santana said. Daniel Reidenberg, executive director of SAVE, traveled from Minnesota to attend the event. He said he believes there is not enough advocacy or funding for spreading awareness of suicide, which he said can be the solution to the issue. “It takes everybody to save a life. It doesn’t just take a doctor; it takes a whole community of people to do what we need to do to save someone’s life,” Reidenberg said. “It is hope that saves lives.” Oswego State student organizations also took part in the event. Vocal Effect performed two songs with hopeful themes in front of the 800 attendees. The Lifestyles Center and Peer2Peer sat at tables providing flyers and pam-

phlets of warning signs of suicide, depression and anxiety and how to get help on campus. “Personally, suicide prevention is really important to me and I take it really seriously. Last summer, a close friend of mine lost their life to suicide, so the SAVE event hits close to home,” Peer2Peer educator Taylor Earle said. “The SAVE event is really important for grieving families and friends because it's a safe place where they can express their emotions and be surrounded by people that understand what they are going through.” Michelle Sloan, the health promotion coordinator at the Lifestyles Center, also works as the campus liaison for SAVE CNY and is in charge of sending collected monetary donations to the SAVE national office. “I have taken advantage of some local training and I have been fortunate enough to be able to go to Minneapolis, where the SAVE National Office is located, on two occasions for training and education,” Sloan said. Sloan said she does not believe

enough is being done to combat suicide because it still happens. Despite efforts of spreading awareness and preventing suicide, the national suicide rate has increased by 24 percent from 1999 to 2014, according to the CDC. Robin McAleese, the outreach coordinator for the Counseling Services Center at Oswego State, said she believes part of the problem is the stigma against mental illness. Students who are experiencing a mental crisis can contact the Counseling Services Center at all hours of the day, and a mental health counselor can help them. Depending on the situation, someone from the center will call the student the next day to check on them, which McAleese said she believes the student appreciates because it shows that someone cares for them. “When you lose someone, it is not the end of that person. That person lives within us, and not just within us, but in every person we meet. That is the beautiful part about life,” Santana said.

A6 NEWS Oswego State School of Education Students interested in more depression outreach partnership sought with local schools Partnership rebuild between involved organizations desired THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 2017

CITY from COVER “pretty established partnership” and already have their students in the classroom. “We have a SUNY Oswego classroom right at Leighton Elementary School now,” Walsh said. “We call it the Leighton Learning Community. They basically gave us a classroom at no cost to us so that our childhood education majors could take their classes right in that building and then go to the classroom and do their practicum.” The Leighton Learning Community allows teachers at the school to interact with Oswego State students, giving them hands-on experience with elementary-age children. “It’s a clinically enriched learning environment where every teacher at Leighton is connected to pre-service teachers in blocks two, three and four of their development as teachers,” Goewey said. “Which is special education training and practicum, methods of instruction and practicum, right into student teaching.” The plan to help restore the number of approved and qualified substitutes has begun. Because of this relationship and familiarity, Goewey said he thinks this should be quite easy. Walsh said this was brought up on the first day of the semester to students and they recently were emailed with explicit instructions on how to apply. To aid in the application process and do more recruiting, Heidi Sweeney, the executive director of second-

ary education and personnel, will help students along the application process. Walsh hopes to have some students cleared, trained and in the system for next semester. This process will be a rolling application. Applicants would need to be fingerprinted, be background checked, fill out the necessary paperwork and be board-approved to be able to go on the job when their schedule permits. The Oswego City School District will change their requirements once the program is established, Goewey said. Their new guidelines will accept those with a bachelor’s degree or a matriculated junior or senior in an education program within the SUNY system. Some students are still in the dark in regard to this initiative but like the opportunity it brings. “It sounds like a great initiative for prospective graduates,” said Abby West, a double major in adolescent education and English. “There’s nothing like handson experience to get a future teacher acquainted with a real-life classroom.” The current times when approved subs could be in the classroom and making money right now are very limited, but according to Walsh, the School of Education is trying to design upcoming semesters to free up more availability during morning and afternoon hours so students can potentially fill in. This would entail moving class times to the evening so students could be available and not have class during Oswego City School District hours.

COUNSELING from COVER Robin McAleese, outreach coordinator for the Counseling Services Center. “I think that there are lots of people out in the world and on our campus who are experiencing symptoms of depression and a depressed mood,” McAleese said. “[This] can be a great useful tool that gives someone the opportunity to come in for a very brief screening and sit down with a counselor to talk that through.” Active Minds, a student-run mental health organization that focuses on changing the conversation about mental health, tabled in the Marano Campus Center Thursday and Friday. Brionna Moore, co-president, said that their tabling events help students to speak their minds and get in touch with the right resources. There were pamphlets about hotlines and counselors as well as free stress balls for anyone to take. “Our goal is to get people talking about these things,” said Brionna Moore, copresident of Active Minds. “There’s a lot of people that feel entirely alone.” Active Minds emphasizes fighting the stigma surrounding mental illness, and will be tabling at an open house in the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena on National Day Without Stigma, Oct. 9. In the past, Moore said, Active Minds has seen a lack of student interaction, but this semester, the organization is getting more involved. “Active Minds is an incredible organization. I’m glad we have their chapter on campus,” McAleese said. Moore, however, said that the relationship between the organization and the Coun-

seling Services Center has grown more distant than in the past. “I feel like we need to rekindle our relationship with the counseling service,” Moore said. More interaction and communication was a similar theme expressed by students on campus. As helpful as the resources were, some students expressed unawareness of Depression Awareness Month or National Depression Screening Day.

I think there are a lot of kids, especially on campus, who don't have that support system. It could p oint the m in the right direction." - Liz Wescott Oswego State senior

Jill Dempsey, a senior education major, said that she feels bringing it up in class discussions would spread more awareness than through emails or posters alone. “I think there are a lot of kids, especially on campus, who don’t have that support system. It could point them in the right direction,” Liz Wescott, senior business administration major, said. Wescott said that bringing depression up in class may “stir up debate,” and that perhaps a better way to get students in-

volved would be through the Lifestyle Center’s “Toilet Talk” posters. “[It would] probably be better for more people to know about it if they need help,” said Daniel Freudenvoll, a junior information science major. Freudenvoll said he thought classes would be the best place to spread information. Moore said Active Minds is working on involving professors more in the depression awareness effort to hopefully incorporate it into their lesson plans in the future. “In the classroom is a great place to relay information,” McAleese said. “The counseling center enjoys a great relationship with faculty on campus.” She said that the Counseling Services Center trains many of the faculty in recognizing the signs of depression and depressed mood. These include disruptive sleep, loss of appetite, persistent sadness, an empty mood and feelings of hopelessness or pessimism. In the past, faculty members have helped put students in touch with counseling services. Some students, however, want to see a more active approach taken to a very serious issue. On a national level, 1 in 4 college students have a diagnosable mental illness, but 40 percent of them do not seek professional help according to ActiveMinds. “Depression is a very serious thing that a lot of people experience [that is] not always taken seriously,” Dempsey said. “I think that’s something that should be talked about for people who need it.”

Field hockey improving, looks to turn ship in SUNYAC

Fall Sports: Lakers have won four of their last five matches, staying aggressive on offensive end September Grades Matt Watling wego State athletics has put in place. Contributing Writer sports@oswegonian.com

Luke Scoville Sports Editor lscoville@oswegonian.com Golf ALakers golf had high expectations going into the season, entering a new conference and returning star players from last season. Through the Lakers first five events, they posted solid scores and finished runner-up in the field in four of those events. Kicking off their last week of the fall season, the Lakers took first place at the Elmira Invitational, behind junior Sean Paul Owen’s one-under round of 71 strokes to win individual medalist. The defending medalist in the Oswego Fall Invitational, Owen, won again this year with two rounds of three-over 74 at Oswego Country Club. The Oswego State “B” team took team honors with a two-stroke victory over the Oswego State “A” team 630-632 for the second straight season in the Oswego Fall Invitational. Golf earns the highest letter grade with their strong ending to their fall season, showing depth from top to bottom and making head coach Mike Howard’s job more difficult heading into the spring season. Men’s Soccer (6-4-1,1-3-0) B+ Oswego State men’s soccer had a near perfect start through the first few weeks of the Dan Kane era. The Lakers doubled last year’s goal total in five games and matched last season’s win total at the midpoint of the regular season with a 6-1-1 overall record. Men’s soccer holds a 1-3 conference record, which is expected with the tougher matches for SUNYAC play. In SUNYAC play, the Lakers have only managed to score 1.5 goals per game after averaging four goals a game in seven non-conference matches. The defense for the Lakers has slipped as well, allowing 10 goals in three straight SUNYAC losses. Freshman goalkeeper Brian Terra has taken the starting role, but the competition with junior Evan Bogucki still looms as they seek to improve against conference opponents. Despite their recent struggle, they earn a quality grade for the month of September due to the vast improvement under Kane, the first-year head coach. Women’s soccer (4-4-1,1-3-0) BSimilar to men’s soccer, the women started out hot against their non-conference opponents, but slowed down as SUNYAC play has started. In their last three matches, the Lakers have been outscored 7-0 in losses to SUNY Oneonta, Plattsburgh State and SUNY Potsdam. Senior Emma Geyer leads the team in goals, assists and points. Alexa Restante, Lynsey Roth and Gabby Corrente are tied with Geyer in goals scored with two each. Their play is crucial for the Lakers to turn it around in their remaining SUNYAC matches. Field Hockey (4-3,1-0) B Lakers Field Hockey underwent new leadership with the hire of Heather Moore. After an 0-2 start, they have won four of their last five games to stay above .500 heading into SUNYAC play. Monica Harvey, Lacey Woite and Katie Reynolds have anchored the Lakers offense, which has scored 17 goals in their last five games. The Lakers hope to be in the mix for SUNYAC playoffs after going 2-4 against conference opponents in 2016. Field Hockey earns a letter grade of a B for winning their last four games in the month of September.

After a rough start to the season, the Oswego State Lakers field hockey team has found their groove. After dropping their first two games, they have bounced back with a four-game win streak, before losing to No. 20 William Smith on Oct. 3. Winning four straight is not an easy task, but Oswego State’s streak was even more impressive since they have done it with just 16 players. To put it in perspective, there are 11 players on the field at a time. The team has just four subs, since they carry two goalies. Normally, teams have around 20 players on their roster with eight subs. A lot of the winning comes down to the great coaching Os-

This season is head coach Heather Moore’s first at Oswego State, but she is knowledgeable of field hockey. Moore was a four-year starter and two-time captain at Colgate University. Similarly, she coached at the U.S. Field Hockey Association in Binghamton, New York. Because of her coaching strategies and intellect, she has been able to manage this short roster to their victories. “[Strategically] I’ve had to pay attention a little more closely to the players on the field and think a couple steps ahead,” Moore said. “If a player comes out, does it require a shift of others?” During this four-game win streak, conditioning has played a huge role. Each game lasts 70 minutes, and since there are only four subs to

use, nearly every starter plays all 70. Aside from the conditioning of the entire team, the Lakers rely on several integral upperclassmen. Senior goalie Sarita Charap has been vital to the team’s success. This season, she has played every minute of every game and has faced a huge number of shots, 111. Charap stole the first win of the season for Oswego as she made 22 saves off of 26 Elmira College shots. Her teammates’ offense was limited in the game, producing 10 shots. Fortunately for the Lakers, they scored on half of those, winning the game narrowly 5-4. After the rough start, Charap has found her form with a formidable save percentage of .833 during the winning streak. With Charap steady on the backend, junior forward Katie Reynolds has been able to create some offense. This season, Reynolds has 16 points in seven games to lead the Lakers and has played a vital role in three of the team’s wins, scoring at least three points in each game. In the other victory at Wells College, she still made her presence felt with a strong performance. Reynolds attributed a big part of her success to her teammates. “The team definitely pushes the

ball up there for me,” Reynolds said. “We need to just shoot the ball rather than play with it in the circle.” The team has been outshot in every loss by as much as 25 and has mustered up a season low of four shots on goal three times. With SUNYAC competition beginning this weekend, it is imperative for the team to dominate the ball in order to limit the pressure on the defense. “We aren’t a team that can run up and down the field since we only have four subs,” senior midfielder Monica Harvey said. “So, we need to maintain possession.” With several tough matchups remaining, the Lakers look to continue to dominate the ball like they did in their four wins. Although the team lost to William Smith College, Harvey sees plenty of positives coming out of that game and into SUNYAC play starting this weekend. “It was a good game to play because they are a really good team,” Harvey said. “I think we played up to their level and played really well [even if the score] doesn’t show it.” The Lakers’ next game is this Saturday at the College at Brockport, and the team anticipates another strong performance with another win to come closer to their first winning season since 1985.

Owen closes fall season strong, wins Elmira, Oswego Invitationals Junior golfer continues to dominate in second season as Laker, leading successful team Luke Scoville Sports Editor lscoville@oswegonian.com Junior Sean Paul Owen, already with an impressive fall season, finished on a high note in the last two events of the fall. On Sept. 26, the Lakers golf team competed in the Elmira Invitational, where they won the team event, led by the individual medalist, Owen, who shot a one-under 71 at his hometown course, Elmira Country Club.

Over the weekend, in the 20th Annual Oswego Fall Invitational, Owen defended his individual medalist title from last year with back-to-back rounds of three-over 74 rounds at Oswego Country Club. “We definitely wanted to go out there and get a win, so you always try to play well,” Owen said. “I just hit the ball fairly solid all week and was able to put up decent numbers.” Head coach, Mike Howard, has always been impressed with the way Owen plays the game, especially his decision making.

Rachel Futterman | The Oswegonian

“[Owen]’s shot selection process, he puts the ball in a position to hit a favorable next shot,” Howard said. “He analyzes the options he has, and more often than not, he chooses the best option.” Owen has been playing golf since he was two years old, with a plastic set of clubs in the backyard alongside his father. Growing up playing the game, Owen idolized professional golfer and five-time major winner Phil Mickelson. “[Mickelson] does it all with class,” Owen said. “He’s just a really good guy, and I like the way he plays.” As much love as he has for the game of golf, it was ironically not his first choice when he enrolled in Oswego State as a freshman in the fall of 2015. In fact, golf was not even his first choice when he played in high school. The Horseheads, New York, native played varsity soccer for three years at Horseheads High School and was captain of the team his senior year. Even though Horseheads has one of the best golf programs in the Southern Tier Athletic Conference, Owen enjoyed his time as a soccer player for the Blue Raiders. “I’m happy how it turned out. I guess sometimes I wish I played golf [in high school]. I had a few buddies on the golf team,” Owen said. “I had a great time playing soccer in high school as well with all my friends. I don’t regret playing soccer in high school, but I’m glad it worked out the way it did.” Owen was not recruited by Oswego State to play soccer, and despite being offered to play at other private schools, he still wanted the oppor-

tunity to play at Oswego State as a walk-on. “They pushed the soccer try-outs back during golf tryouts, so [Owen] was a day late,” head coach Mike Howard said. “We already cut some kids, so I didn’t feel it was appropriate to give a guy a shot a day after cutting some guys. Unfortunately, he didn’t tryout that first year, and I wish he had with some of the results we got.” Even though Owen never played for a golf team and only competed in tournaments when he was younger, he adjusted quickly and showed promise early on as a collegiate golfer when he made the team his sophomore year. “All the guys were really welcoming [Howard] was really welcoming,” Owen said. “Just treated me good from the beginning, so it wasn’t really a hard transition.” Owen won his first tournament as a Laker at last year’s Oswego Fall Invitational with a two-over par round of 73. That performance won him Laker Athlete of the Week for the first time as well. After Owen’s big week last week, he was named Laker Athlete of the Week again and Empire 8 Conference men’s golf Athlete of the Week, the first Laker to be named to that honor. “It’s great. All the guys texted me saying ‘congratulations,’ and my family group chat all texted me ‘congratulations,’” Owen said. “It makes you feel good that you’re participating and doing well for the golf team.” Owen and the Lakers will look to stay sharp in the winter with the chance to qualify for the NCAA Div. III Golf Championship in the spring season.

Owen placed first individually in both tournaments Lakers golf participated in last week. Starting at the Elmira College Invitational, the Horseheads native shot a 71, finishing seven strokes ahead of any other competitor. To follow up that performance, Owen shot a 74 on both days of the Oswego State Fall Invitational. His score at Oswego Country Club was enough to win individually by five strokes. Owen also led the Lakers to a first-place finish in their last tournament of the fall.

In the Lakers match against Keuka College on Sept. 27, O'Flaherty ranked near the top of three categories for Oswego State on their way to a five set victory over the Wolves. The Walter Panas High School alumni's 12 digs, five blocks and team-leading nine kills helped the Lakers to their seventh win on the year and their second win in five sets. So far this season, O'Flaherty ranks second on the team with 109 kills and leads the team with 2.02 kills per set.

Field Hockey won four consecutive games between Sept. 13 and Sept. 27 following an 0-2 start, a streak that lasted until a 5-1 loss to the William Smith College Herons at Laker Turf Stadium on Tuesday. Over their win streak, the Lakers outscored their opponents 15-9 and collected three road wins. The team is now 1-0 in conference play and will look to maintain their recent pace.

Women's soccer is currently nine points behind No. 9 SUNY Geneseo in the SUNYAC standings following their 1-3-0 start in conference play. With five SUNYAC games remaining, the Lakers will try fighting their way up the conference ladder. The upcoming slate has three road games to finish out the SUNYAC schedule, including a contest at SUNY Geneseo on Oct. 14.

Men's soccer goalie battle built on mutual respect as SUNYAC play continues Bogucki, Terra support each other in competition of who starts in net for Lakers as games gain importance Joe Porpora Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com Junior Evan Bogucki and freshman Brian Terra have been competing all season for the starting goaltender role on the Oswego State men’s soccer team. After splitting starts early in the season, Terra was named the starter for conference play. Terra’s rise to starting for conference play was not something the coaching staff or even Terra himself saw coming in the beginning of the season. “No expectations coming into the season [to name Terra the starting goaltender],” head coach Dan Kane said. Terra was surprised about Kane’s decision because he was not expecting to start this season. “No, definitely not. All the goalies, we all support each other," Terra said. "I have their back, they have my back, but we knew coming in it was going to be a fight for it.” Bogucki started the first game of the season against Houghton, which the Lakers won 5-0. After that, the Lakers had been alternating who was in net so Kane could make a decision on who he wanted in net for conference play. Bogucki recieved a red card 15 minutes into the game against St. Lawrence University on Sept. 15, and Terra has been in goal ever since. Although Kane saw a mistake on the field from Bogucki, the

red card was not a factor in naming Terra the starting goaltender for conference play. “Maybe Evan made a little mistake there, but that wasn’t the primary reason for naming Brian the number one,” Kane said. “Brian would’ve had the next game regardless.” The competition was really close to see who would become the number one goalie. Kane knew the margins were small between the two players, and that he had a difficult choice in front of him. After watching the two goalies alternate starts early in the year, he believed Terra edged out Bogucki in a few different aspects. “Brian’s just got a little bit better distribution and is a little bit better with his feet,” Kane said. “The margins are really small. It’s just like every other position We’re evaluating and reevaluating where the guys are and who will be the starter next.” Terra has started the last five games for the Lakers, going 2-3 through that stretch. Although he has been named the number one right now, he is not the permanent starter for the rest of the season, as Kane is still considering who to start at the position. “We’ll continue to evaluate [the goalie position], and these guys are kind of Rachel Futterman | The Oswegonian

just like field players. They play really well one week, then you drop your play a little bit,” Kane said. “We know that if Brian does that, we got a really good goalie in Evan that we can call upon.” Even though Bogucki is not starting at the moment, he is still a key player on the team, helping Terra train and being a good teammate. “Bogucki] has been awesome,” Terra said. “He’s one of the best teammates I’ve had. Even though we are fighting for the spot, he has my back, and I know it. He’s always positive out there and supportive.” It is more of a friendly competition between Oswego State’s top goalkeepers. Bogucki and Terra train with each other. The goal is to do what is best for the team rather than worry about who is going to be in there individually. Kane has loved how Bogucki has taken to his current role as the backup right now. “[Bogucki has] been fantastic,” Kane said. “I mean, he’s a terrific teammate. Being a goalie is really hard, and those are guys you don’t really sub, so you can be an outstanding second goalie and not play all season. That can be hard, but

Evan has handled it like a professional. He’s supportive of Brian and he obviously wants his shot, but he doesn’t want to see anything bad happen to Brian.” Kane’s plans for the goalie position for the rest of the season is to start whoever is playing the best. Since the margins are so

close between the two, he has no problem giving one guy rest for a game and putting the other in. “If we make a change with our goalies it’s because the margins are so small and it might just be better to rest one guy or give him a mental break.” Kane said.

Graduate defender models consistency for young men's soccer roster Center back Tim Ritch provides leadership for inexperienced squad on pitch, leads conference in minutes played Gerald Lynch Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com Tim Ritch, a graduate student at Oswego State, is in the midst of his third and final season as a Laker. Ritch is the captain and starting center back for the Lakers. He has played a total of 968 minutes through 11 matches, a SUNYAC high. Ritch has been a key cog in the Lakers bounce back season, specifically because of his work ethic. “Practices, recovery sessions, coach does a great job at managing our stamina and our trainer Dan [Collins] is always there for us. He is really good at getting us back out there on the field," Ritch said. Head coach Dan Kane has implemented a new post-game ritual for the team. After every game, win or lose, Kane has the team do a series of recovery exercises. “It’s a great way to avoid muscle tightness and cramps, and it gives time for the team to talk over the game and get their heads in the right place,” Kane said. Not only does Kane appreciate the postgame recovery session, but the players have bought into the system too. “It’s great, what Kane does after the game is amazing. His philosophy is garbage out, groceries in, and it helps us recover and get ready for the next day,” Ritch said. Ritch is one of the bright spots on this Laker team. He has been playing soccer since he was three years old, taught by his father, and is still learning day-by-day. “My dad has been my role model ever since I was little in terms of soccer." Ritch said. He’s taught me to respect the game, respect the other team, the officials, everybody, just go out, play my game and not get caught up in anything else.” Ritch stressed how important the offseason is to his preparation. “Off season is just as important as preseason," Kane said "If players want to play and want to stay healthy, they have to abide by the offseason workout packet and get themselves working each and every day,” Kane said. Kane’s style of coaching and communicating with players is very different from what Laker players have seen in the past. Before his time at Oswego State, Ritch played a season at Onondaga Community College, where he was named to the AllMid State Athletic Conference Team. “That one year helped me get a collegiate

year under my belt, and it benefitted me a lot coming into Oswego,” Ritch said. Ritch has started 39 of his 43 matches during his Laker career. The Lakers, who started hot, have now lost three matches in a row. All three games were conference matchups, which now sets them back in the SUNYAC standings. “We can’t look back, always got to look forward, but not too far ahead," Ritch said. "Look for your next pass, movement and you can’t bear down on the past.” The team has been struggling in terms of scoring in the past six matches, scoring seven goals, compared to their first five matches in which they scored 27 goals. “We have a big weekend coming up. We’re all excited." Ritch said. "If we play like we’re practicing, then I think there is good things to come.” Ritch has built his entire soccer career off of working hard during practice time to improve for games,

practices, and workouts. “For me, it started in my backyard just kicking the ball off my back wall.," Ritch said. "My touch improved and moments like that where I’m practicing motivates me even more to perform at my best come game time,” Soccer is important to the whole Laker roster but for Ritch, soccer and this team have an unbreakable bond. “I can’t explain the kind of bonds you form with this team," Ritch said. "It’s definitely what I am going to miss most,” The Lakers have a young roster composed of mainly underclassmen. The words that come from the upperclassmen motivate the younger guys to do their best every time on the field. “Some advice for the guys, keep doing what you’re doing, buy into what Kane’s doing, buy into Oswego and just enjoy your time here," Ritch said. "Dedicate yourself to your school work and soccer, and I think things will go well.”

Campus Recreation Report: Club hockey begins new season in Michigan Softball playoffs underway Oswego State looks to rebound in second season under Timmons Austin Tanner Contributing Writer sports@oswegonian.com In the world of campus recreation, perhaps the most intense games that are played are those in the playoffs, no matter what sport is taking place. This past week, two different teams from two different sports have been crowned. Each has received praise for showcasing their skills and coming out victorious. In head-to-head competition, first-place Dababama from the men’s recreational 7v7 flag football league took on Spider 3 Y-Banana in one of the closest contests in almost one of the biggest upsets of the week. Spider 3 Y-Banana led through three quarters by as many as two touchdowns, but Dababama were breathing down their necks for the entire fourth quarter, narrowly coming out on top 26-25 and staying on top of the leaderboard with a 4-0 record. In the men’s competitive league, the second place Townies took on Tittsburgh Feelers in another close flag football game. Townies and Tittsburgh Feelers were neck and neck throughout the entire game. However, Townies came out with the win, 28-22, to stay in first place. Some congratulations are also in order for the Flag Football Co-Rec Competitive 8v8 Champions, Show Me Your TD’s, with a record of 4-0 in their season.

Over to the dusty diamonds for some intramural softball and the first of our intramural sports champion recipients. In the men’s recreational league, Zero Bunts Tonight came out victorious in the playoffs that took place this past week. In their semifinal game, Zero Bunts Tonight took on Padremaniacs and won 20-5, moving on to the championship round to take on Team Jason Baywatch. While it was a closer battle, Zero Bunts Tonight came out victorious again 9-4 and took home the men’s recreational champion’s crown. Their next challenge comes when they join the playoffs of the men’s competitive league. Starting things off for the co-rec recreational soccer league, Padremaniacs took on the undefeated Rooney Toons. The first half was a close battle between the two teams. Headed into halftime, it was tied 2-2. After a second half of hard fought defense, Rooney Toons scored a late-game goal to pull ahead and win 3-2, staying undefeated at 4-0. However, that was not the last we would see of Rooney Toons in this week of play. They also took on second place Scrambled Legz, who had an impressive record of 4-1 going into this game. First-place Rooney Toons would prevail, though, thanks to the athleticism of Catarina Burke. Burke singlehandedly scored all four of Rooney Toons’ goals, taking the game 4-0 and maintaining a 5-0 record on the season.

Ben Grieco Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com The Oswego State men’s club ice hockey team is looking to push further than they have the past couple seasons. After a few devastating early playoff losses in recent years, this season is all about the flow of the team. Second-year head coach, Chris Timmons, brought on 14 new players this season, ready to push team chemistry. “We want to get the guys more in the flow early,” Timmons said. “It was kind of a challenge last year, getting them all in one system.” Timmons, as well as his assistant Jordan Alhart, are both Oswego State alumni and were a part of the team. In their second season, it is all new faces on the roster. “A new thing this year is definitely coaching without guys I know,” Timmons said. “It’s better to have fresh faces.” Last season, the team was taken out early in the first round of the playoffs, against Canisius College in the Northeast Collegiate Hockey League playoffs. The team ended up losing in overtime. “We just want to get over that first playoff game hump,” said Timmons. “Looking at this year, what we want to improve is consistency.” With a new group of players coming in, sophomore Luke Myers is hopeful this upcoming season and wants to rebuild the team. “Last year was a tough loss in overtime, we definitely thought for a bigger picture,” Myers said. “But this year, we’ve got a new group of guys. We’re just trying to find the team right now and build up strong.” Myers currently leads the team in points with four (three goals, one assist), according to oswegostate.pointstreaksites. com. He played 17 games last year with only one point. With this being his second year in the league, he said he is a lot more comfortable on the ice. “I think I found my click with a couple linemates,” Myers said. “The puck is bouncing my way, and I’m getting more opportunities this year.” After taking a year off, junior forward

Oscar Marchi, who has three points on the season (two goals, one assist), is also back. The Pleasantville, New York, native,is looking forward to a new coaching staff, as well as bringing in his own experience to the squad. “I think the new coaching staff will take us in the right direction,” Marchi said. “I’m hoping my experience from freshman year can help the team score some goals and win some games.” The Lakers opened up the season in Michigan for a weekend in late September. They faced Oakland College twice, a team that they do not see often. They split the weekend with a 1-1 record. “We had an idea what Oakland was like since we played them last year. They’re very well skilled,” Timmons said. “So, going over there is just getting the guys ready to go and get these new guys ready to the college level. We played well overall and learned our strengths and weaknesses.” According to Timmons and Marchi, there are some other top players this season. Daniel Kuter stands out on defense.

He was a transfer from Lake Forest, where he played Div. III hockey. Alex Gallose, who stands out at goaltender, currently has 150 saves on the season, including some impressive goaltending throughout the weekend at Michigan, gaining him the “Laker Hat,” which is something Timmons brought on in his first season last year. “Usually with the hockey teams, every game has a game MVP,” Timmons said. “Every game has a team-voted player who is the MVP and earns the Laker Hat.” Now, four games into the season, the team is 1-2-1, with a shootout loss to Cornell University. Timmons is trying to get his team ready for this season, and move further than the first round. “The plans are to try to get the team in the system early and really promote comraderie,” Timmons said. “As a goal, we want to try to take our league and go farther than the first round of playoffs.” The Lakers take on Temple University next, on Oct. 6 at the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena with an 8:30 p.m.

OPINION

THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 2017

Sports provide much more Tip of than escapism for society the hat... Erin Newell Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com A lot of people think that entertainment is excluded from the outside world. However, these people are living in a world of ignorant bliss. The last place they want this world to be rocked is in their living room with a beer cracked watching their favorite team. Unless one shuns themselves from the outside world, there is a g o o d c h a n c e t h e y h a v e h e a rd about the kneeling controversy in the NFL. This has been a prominent topic in the media for a while now, and people have had time to marinate in it and split into two main sections: Sports and society are inseparable or sports are a form of escapism and politics should remain separate. As kids, parents want to shield their children from all of the terrors that come along with living in the “real world.” Then, something crazy happens, kids start to grow up and they can start handling

these realities like adults, or at least one would think. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of game days. There is food, family, friends and football. What more could one ask for on a cool Sunday afternoon? Suddenly, this is interrupted by someone kneeling during the national anthem, and if one is caught up in the escapism of it all, this is irritating. There never seems to be an acceptable time to discuss race. K a e p e r n i c k c o u l d n o t h ave b e e n more strategic in his planning. Live NFL draws millions of viewers, so Kaepernick was best heard, seen and recognized there. There is no separation of sports and politics. They are deeply intertwined because, as a society, people are affected by politics in every way, whether one wants to acknowledge it or not. Athletes are a thriving part of society. They have a voice and a deeply effective way of using that voice to spread awareness. Americ a n s h ave f o u g h t f o r f re e d o m o f speech and to try and deny peaceful protest is to deny one of the greatest things about the country.

Distracted driving big gamble

Any measure to ensure safety on roads justified

Girard Bailey Contributing Writer opinion@oswegonian.com

Taylor Woods | The Oswegonian The chicken patty sandwich has been a dining hall favorite and it is now available at The Crossroads.

Austin Naples Contributing Writer opinion@oswegonian.com Chicken Patty Day at Oswego State is a thrilling day. From the moment students see, chicken patty on the menu, everyone’s stomach begins to rumble a bit inside. The line is long as can be, with everyone very excited. The excitement will not stop until they are satisfied with big full bellies of fried chicken sandwiches. This sandwich is so poular that the dining hall staff serves several thousand chicken patties each day the sandwich is offered. The chicken patty is a favorite here mainly because of the large variety offered when creating a chicken patty sandwich. Different breads are offered such as wheat and white. Dining halls have the main course of the chicken patty breast, seasoned with bread crumbs. Students get creative with toppings for the chicken patty with anything from a tomato, to shredded lettuce or American cheese. There are any number of condiment combinations to include on

the chicken patty which include hot sauce, barbecue sauce, mayo, siracha sauce, ketchup, ranch dressing and honey mustard. The chicken patty is a favorite choice of the day for the hungry and the stressed. The deep fried breading on fresh chicken is apparently so delectable with its juicy inside that it is tough to resist. On top, students can include lettuce and a watery red tomato or just plain old American cheese. Students do not see it as the ordinary chicken patty from high school. It is a high-quality sandwich. That is why the students here with unlimited meal plans take advantage by eating two or more chicken patties. Students without a meal plan can still try the chicken patty, on famous chicken patty day, or at The Crossroads in the campus center by spending dining dollars to pick up one of the famous sandwiches. This opportunity is rarely passed up by students or faculty. Next time chicken patty day comes around, try it and experience the chicken patty phenomenon driving students crazy.

On the matter of distracted driving any police involvement will be a good thing. Cellphone use has increased dramatically over the past decade. In today’s society, a majority of people, including both youth and adults, carry cellphones. It has become the norm for people to take their phones with them everywhere because of how convenient they are. Due to their convenience, it has become reflexive for some to stop and check their phone multiple times a day, wherever they are. This includes using their phone while driving. Distracted driving is the leading cause of car accidents in the U.S. according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to the National Safety Council, roughly 40,000 people died as a result of motor vehicle accidents in 2016. Distracted driving is not limited to cellphone use and has been an issue before cellphones became as common as they are today. It is all to o e a s y f o r s o m e o n e to t a ke o u t their phone while driving. Even a driver who is distracted for only a fe w s e c o nd s c a n c a u s e t r a g i c a c cidents. Millions of people die each year from such accidents caused by cellphone use. At Oswego State, University Police have adopted a new approach to distracted driving. Officers in unmarked police cars have begun pulling over students they see texting while driving. While it is too early to know if this tactic will prove effective, the p ol i c y i t s e l f h a s c a u s e d s o me d e bate. While others feel the police are overstepping their authority, this is a good approach. It is all too easy to take law enforcement for granted. It is impor-

tant to consider what the role o f p o l i c e i s i n s o c i e t y, a s w e l l as what their role is on campus. Some people may be worried that t h i s i s a n i n v a s i o n o f p r i v a c y. Whenever the police begin to take a more active role in something, there will be genuine concerns about personal freedoms. This is not to say that we should oppose police officers whenever

they get involved in a new way. It is hardly an invasion of privacy for an officer to notice that somebody is on their phone while driving. Officers are simply tr ying to m a k e t h i n g s s a f e r. D i s t r a c t e d driving is one of the leading unnatural causes of death, and University police are simply taking the time to make an effort to combat that.

The Voice of the People

CIVIL DIALOGUE OVERDUE

Sean Rivituso freshman, adolescent education

On the heels of another national travesty, the gun control debate is on nearly everyone’s mind, and rightfully so. Politicizing the events that transpired in Las Vegas during the Route 91 Harvest country music festival is not the answer. Other recent newsworthy events, such as the string of hurricanes that struck Puerto Rico and some southern states, have prompted citizens on both the left and the right to immediately jump into their respective camps and continue arguments. This solves nothing. To log into Twitter or Facebook, only to join a spirited debate about gun control or any other issue in a comment thread, regardless of your political alliances, is the incorrect response. Whether it be between friends, family or even complete strangers, this line of thinking of hostile political clashes will not solve anything.

“I think you should be able to use computers in class because technology is changing.”

All politics is local: Vote this November

What is an appropriate technology policy for classes? “I think it’s okay to have a laptop, probably not your phone though.”

Still time to request absentee ballot for town, county elections

“They should allow laptops and tablets for note-taking.”

“Laptops would be beneficial as long as you’re not on Facebook the entire time.”

warned us not to create political parties. Politicians and everyday citizens in this country are so set in their beliefs that the ability to work together as a nation seems like something we may never accomplish. Stephen Paddock’s atrocious act of violence is just the most recent example. It is a constant cycle. Soon the most pertinent topic of discussion that week or month will get put on the backburner. It is not fair to those affected and to every other citizen in this country. Change cannot take place without both sides having the ability to work together for one common goal: improving the country we all call home. The time for our country to come together as a united force instead of a divisive, argumentative mass of people has passed, but it is never too late to start that process.

IN THE OFFICE

Cheyanne Bailey senior, public justice

Denisse Garcia junior, human development

Everyone has their opinions, beliefs and morals, but when politics get in the way of basic human decency, it becomes impossible to enact actual change. It seems to be a constant cycle. An event of any kind occurs and is debated by those who are adamant their opinion is the right way to do things or the proper way to think. Yes, expression of opinion should be encouraged. To some extent, it is beneficial that these issues and events are being discussed so thoroughly in any fashion. However, when this is taken to the extreme, people claiming unflinching allegiance to their political ideology is counterproductive. Political parties are so divided that it seems to make the process of even starting to find solutions puts actual change out of the question. Maybe this is why George Washington, the father of our country,

Derek Smith Opinion Editor dsmith@oswegonian.com As citizens, young people owe it to their communities to participate in the functions of local government that directly affect them in a huge way. Elections for state and local offices take place every November, unlike the presidential, which is only every four years. If one has not already done so, it is not too late to contact their county board of elections to request an absentee ballot for the Nov. 7 local elections this year. The most common excuse for fail-

ure to participate in national elections is the feeling of insignificance in one’s vote, especially in the Electoral College system. This is perhaps the most valid justification for not voting, though there are few. Compared to the tens of millions cast, one’s ability to influence the outcome of a presidential race via their vote is minuscule. This does not apply to local races, where, unfortunately, voter turnout is even lower, according to Pew Research Center. A single vote could swing the election for a county executive who may only receive a few hundred. Becoming informed for county elections is as simple as going online to read about candidates on their websites or Facebook pages. If that is unmanageable, find a party to most closely identify with and vote the party line. This tactic is too often dismissed as tribal partisanship. That, however, is the purpose of political parties. They offer a shortcut to candidates’ positions for the majority of people who are far too busy to bother with nuanced county tax plans or waste management laws. While national politics are admit-

tedly much easier and more exciting to follow, it is the town board, city council and county legislature officeholders that will have a much stronger impact on individuals’ lives. I t i s e a s y to b e c o m e j a d e d to ward the political process watching around-the-clock, sensationalized news coverage of partisan gridlock and political theatre in the District of Columbia. Elected officials at the county level are much more accessible to their voters and are more easily held accountable. To be elected at the city or county level, requires candidates to meet directly with school boards, churches, police departments, restaurant owners and all the other institutions on which a community is built. Typically for meager pay, local politicians work long hours to deliver palpable results to their constituents in communities they genuinely want to see improve. No matter how hard they work, they cannot do it alone. Impactful change is possible, but requires persistent effort at the local level by citizens beyond once every four years.

Zuckerberg profits from Russia Ad selling scandal offers CEO campaign platform Lola Breton Contributing Writer opinion@oswegonian.com Facebook never fails to avoid controversy. On Sept. 21, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder and current CEO, announced that his company would give over 3,000 Russian-linked ads to Congress. Those were used during the 2016 presidential campaign to convey false information and propaganda. How convenient it is for him to appear as the savior of democracy when the system he created brings complete chaos to the world. Media and political institutions have been addressing the question of Russian influence on President Donald Trump’s victory this year a lot. Russia presence on Facebook throughout the campaign might be the real issue to worry about. This is not the first time Facebook has found itself in the middle of a scandal. Before selling ad inserts to serve Russian propaganda, it dealt with the sales of consumers’ data and incitement to hatred or violence, among other controversies. Facebook already has access to the most private information about one third of the global population. Two billion people use Facebook. Each new account created, and each login, enables the company to have it all. This includes phone number, email address, places where one likes to shop, potential friends in an area, political affiliation and more. The users are aware of the lack of privacy being on social media involves. Yet, questions and concerns usually cool down once Mark Zuckerberg appears. Then users continue logging in. Some may argue that, given the private status of Zuckerberg’s company, it is rather

noble of him to offer the ads to Congress. That is right, he does not have to, and that is why every part of the story is political. Every move Zuckerberg has made since the election of Trump in November seems to lay groundwork for his potential race for office in 2020. He said his goal for 2017 was to meet citizens from every one of the 50 states and to report it on his own social media. Anyone in politics knows that is how one campaigns. In three years, because of the last election, showing complete transparency is how he will hope to get elected, hence the close collaboration with the federal institutions. Do not let the cover fool you. Facebook

is not led by a good Samaritan. Corporations work this way. The better their image, the more consumers they acquire, and the more money they make. In a sense, politics is the same. Someone who appears serious and honest in every respect will have a leg up gathering support and winning an election. However, knowing how to manipulate masses is not a quality that should be looked for in future office holders. A me r i c a s ho u l d b e c a re f u l . We know what comes up when business and politics mingle. On that note, let us log into our Facebook account and share our deepest thoughts with Zuckerberg.

From Sept. 26 to Oct. 22, the walls of Tyler Art Gallery are filled with various forms of political commentary artwork called “Politics on Paper.” The work is from the Syracuse University art collection and can be described as “Art with an Agenda,” meaning that the exhibition should provoke political thought and conversation after viewing it. With politics constantly being talked about in 2017, this collection takes a step back from division and shows the progression of both artwork and the world as a whole. The exhibition entails w o rk r a n g i n g f ro m t h e pioneering etchings of 17th Century French artist Jacques Callot to the 2011 renderings of Obama portraitures, a gift of Jerome Witkin. The way the exhibition was curated speaks to the viewer with a sense of unification between the oldest sketches and the newest. The artwork is not n e c e s s a r i l y i n c h ro n o l o g i c a l o r d e r, f o c u s i n g more on the ideas as a whole than the individual political and social statements that each one makes. The collection features the work of various ar tis ts , including Thomas Nast, Honoré Daumier, Francisco Goya, Kathe Kollwitz, William Gropper, Robert Rauschenberg and Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. The term “etching” describes the process of using strong acid to shape various metal forms, creating a printing plate that can be covered in ink and then transferred onto actual paper. It was basically the earliest form of a modern-day ink stamp. This process is still honored in the art world today simply because it takes very precise skill to execute effectively. The “Politics on Paper” exhibition highlights the work of Jacques Callot (1592-1635) and honors his innovation as a founding father of com-

bining art and etching with printmaking and social commentary. Callot’s career consisted of more than 1,400 etchings. He portrayed everything from clowns to soldiers, all containing the same signature style. His work was significant because the origins of illustration and graphic design can be traced back to him. He focused heavily on figures and even added elements of caricature by emphasizing significant features of them. The combination of the emergence of political and social commentary with printmaking was an extremely pivotal time in the ar t world. For the first time in histor y, ar t and writing could be mass produced. It is easy for the modern world to take this for granted because art, writing and anything else imaginable can be found within seconds on a smartphone. Picturing a world where art, literature and information stood s t i l l i s h a rd to i m a g i ne , which is why printmaki n g h a s c h a n g e d l i fe i n so many ways. Artists began to take their opinions about the world around them and incorporate

them into their work, causing controversy and conve rs ation in re s p on s e . I t provided artwork with mobility, and ar tists thrived in response. The social commentary in the e x hib it ion is ve r y interesting in modern context. The ar twork was all created to mirror the time period that the artist lived in, making every message within the subject matt e r a ve r y a u t he n t i c a nd powerful one. It is very eye opening to see what problems have existed in the past and how the world has evolved. The artists never held back from depicting even the most violent sights that they witnessed, including slavery, poverty, war and illness. This added a very moving element to the time period and made the general public aware of the problems that existed. The black and white color scheme of the etchings also enhances the mood of each piece. Kathe Kollwitz is known worldwide for her sculptures, etchings and charcoal drawings. She influenced the printmaking time period with the way she portrayed social commentar y in a ver y direct

way. Her ar twork is very dark, but it shines a light on the issues that our w o rl d h a s e nc o m p a s s e d i n h i s t o r y. S h e s p e c i f i cally focused her artwork on the peasant revolution i n p o s t - W W I G e r m a n y. Most people living in this time period turned a blind eye to the intensity of the revolution, especially those with entitlement or of a higher class. Kollwitz tastefully spread awareness to all and became recognized for doing so. Her pieces can be found within the “Politics on Paper” collection, and Oswego State is proud to be showcasing some of her most famous works of art i n c l u d i n g “Au f r u h r ” a n d “Die Gefangeman.” This exhibition is all about change. The need for change was clear and present within the various events that have occurred around the world, and artists throughout history have taken charge of bringing change by focusing on these events in their w o rk . A r t i s t s , e s p e c i a l l y those involved in the “Politics on Paper” collection, have graced the world with their innovation and social and political commentary.

Larry David explores new territory on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

much they might disagree with him. There are certain social conventions, such as the “chat-and-cut,” where a person will attempt to cut a long line by having a conversation with someone further up than them, or trying to find the right time to break up with someone that might have cancer, that David does not agree with. He has no problem inserting himself in other people’s business,

problems and lives. In simpler terms, he is an obnoxiously rude old man. Dragging along his manager Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin, “The Goldbergs”), his roommate Leon Black (J.B. Smoove, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) and his now exwife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines, “Son of Zorn”) along for the ride. Like David, a lot of the actors play warped versions of themselves, such as Ted Dan-

son (“Cheers”), stand-up comic Richard Lewis and Wanda Sykes (“Black-ish”), with other appearances from Martin Scorsese (“Silence”), the cast of “Seinfeld,” Ben Stiller (“Zoolander 2”) and countless others. David said he has spent the last six years finding unexplored subjects, ideas and scenarios that the fictional version of Larry David could then, well, basically destroy. David can take the most basic social conventions, along with subjects some people would never touch, and dissect them to find the humor in them. He has mastered this over eight seasons, creating a formula so good that some argue it is even better than his even bigger project, “Seinfeld.” David probably knew he had to shake things up if he was going to do a ninth season, now tying “Seinfeld” for number of seasons. That is exactly what he has done. The season nine premiere, “Foisted!” catches the audience up with the lives of the favorite characters and get-

more customers. As always, Nathan thinks outside of the box and hatches a plan that includes wild ideas such as auditioning celebrity impersonators, taking out a $10,000 loan and even handcuffing himself to another person overnight, as well as plenty others. Another returning quality to the series is the awkward small talk that occurs between Fielder and whomever he encounters. Whether they are pertaining to the topic at hand or not, these conversations definitely fly under the radar of what is an already underrated show. Fielder also has a distinct way of undermining his guests and making them look silly, usually by convincing them to do something outrageous in an effort to benefit their business or even simply by asking them a question. Something about this show that really sparks wonder from viewers is also his former guests (with whom he mostly causes

stress and anger) willingness to continue working with Fielder time and time again. Not only were there old friends in the first episode of this season, but as a matter of fact, Fielder dedicated an entire one-hour preseason premiere special to revisiting a good deal of the people he had worked with in the past. Of course, the element of this series that really makes it stand out from many of its

sitcom peers is that Nathan is unloading these wacky ideas on real businesses and real people. While keeping in mind Fielder ’s awkward tendencies, this gives the show some (very humorous) added suspense as to whether or not they will be able to handle what they have just gotten themselves into.

Larry David has returned to grace TV screens with his unique brand of awkwardness. After a six-year hiatus, the social assassin is back on HBO’s hit comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Fans of the show were never certain that it would return until HBO announced a ninth season was happening in June of 2016. David has a special contract with HBO. He will make a season when he feels like it and if he believes he has a story that is worthy enough. Louis C.K. had a similar deal with FX Networks for his series “Louie,” which he said is most likely done and over with. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is a loosely scripted, mostly improvised comedy series that focuses on David’s life after “Seinfeld.” David has opinions and is not afraid to tell them to others, no matter how

ting into typical Larry David moments while setting up what seems to be an actual storyline this season. Seasons prior have had a story, but never dedicated a whole season to progressing it along. David has spent the last six years writing a Broadway play (reminiscent of his real life play “Fish in the Dark” from 2015) and is finally ready to unveil it to the world. Without revealing too much, a botched appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” puts Larry, and the show, in territory it has never explored before. It puts him on the run from basically everyone and makes him genuinely fear for his life, which is a surprising shift in momentum for the series. The premiere leaves everyone wanting more, wondering where this could possibly go next and dying of laughter. It is safe to say that HBO was able to bring back arguably the most anticipated show of the last decade while proving Larry David is a comedic genius.

After taking a nearly twoyear break between the start of this season and end of the previous, “Nathan For You” is back up and running. The gap between seasons left many fans anxious and uncertain of the series future. Although, when taking into account the clever strategies put together by the show’s star Nathan Fielder (“The Night Before”), it seems to make a lot more sense. T he s e e l a b o r a t e s t r a t e gies have been a signature quality of the show through the first three seasons. The season four premiere was no exception.

Miley Cyrus finds much-needed clarity in ‘Younger Now’ Ian Saunders Asst. Laker Review Editor isaunders@oswegonian.com

Miley Cyrus is a changed person. She will be the first one to say it. Long gone are the days of dreadlocks, twerking and experimenting with whatever drugs she could get her hands on. The 24-yearold singer-songwriter from Franklin, Tennessee, has just released “Younger Now,” her sixth studio album, and in it, she gets rid of her triedand-failed hip-hop persona. Instead, she traces her roots back to Nashville and returns to her original, stripped-back, country-pop aesthetic. Along with the change in her sound, Miley appears to be cleaning up her act. In an interview with The Sun, Miley states that she has been “sober for weeks” and that she was focused on keeping a “clear head” when working on her new project. To

anybody who was unfortunate enough to listen to her last full-length record, “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz,” it is obvious that keeping a clear mind is very important to the quality of her music. “Younger Now” is a tribute to the rich history of country music, and it is when Cyrus truly puts her songwriting skills to the test. She writes about things that are person-

al to her: close relationships, hopelessness and the importance of change in her life. On this project, more than anything, Cyrus is looking to tell her audience that what she is doing is truly authentic. “Lyrics are very sacred to me,” she said in an interview with Grammy.com. “I want them to understand that this record is really all the truth, from me.”

The opening track is an airy, light-hearted countrypop ballad, where Cyrus sings about her struggles to find herself in the music scene she had been embroiled in since she was 16. “What goes up must come down,” she repeats, reeling herself back in from all the chaos that she had surrounded herself in for years. “Malibu” follows up the opener as another dreamy, atmospheric country tune that was the first of the two singles dropped before the release of the album. It did not climb the Billboard charts as high as her previous singles (it peaked at No. 10), but is a much easier listen compared to tracks that performed much better like “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop.” The gently strummed guitars on “Malibu” mark a strong contrast to the dense, electronic beats that dominated those earlier hits. Dolly Parton co-writes on “Rainbowland,” an absolute giant in the country music world and somebody that

Cyrus has looked up to since she was a kid. It has all the Southern twang and charm of an average Dolly Parton song, with clips of Dolly and Cyrus talking about creating music in the beginning and end. It is a heartwarming tribute, but sadly ends up sounding cheesy and outdated, making it something that is not worth playing over again. “Younger Now” is a welcome change in pace from her previous releases, but ultimately ends up sounding rushed. With Cyrus admitting herself that she was not even halfway done with the album when the original singles were put out, it feels like the project was pushed out the door before it was ready. The result was destined to be polarizing. Some of her fans will absolutely love it, while others (especially her younger fans) will get turned away. With the concept of the album being so strong, it is frustrating to think about what a couple more months of work could have done.

Lovato splits further from Disney on ‘Tell Me You Love Me’ Mary Katherine Moylan Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Commencing the album on a high note, “Sorry Not Sorry” is a personification of the clap back her fans love and adore. Creating a lot of excitement with its single release, it reached the number 12 spot on Billboard upon its release.

takes no prisoners with “And it’d be nice of me to take it easy on ya, but nah.” Immediately mixing it up with the album’s title track, “Tell Me You Love Me,” she begins to dip into the subjects of love and devotion that she is known so well for. “Oh no, here we go again / Fighting over what I said / I’m sorry, yeah I’m sorry.” A song that can stand easily on its own, the gospel-tinged track is a staple with Lovato belting “No, you ain’t nobody ‘til you got somebody.” Lovato has no problem addressing her obsess i o n w i t h “ D a d d y I s s u e s .” She sings with a tone that highlights her upper range, which she is able to belt so well.

many fans speculating that it could be about one of her oldest and closest friends, Nick Jonas. “Lonely” is the only song on the album to showcase another artist’s talents, with hip-hop artist Lil Wayne. Lovato speaks of her modern, unrequited love, a relatable theme with a unique twist. Lil Wayne accompanies her with a subtle and soothing sound. The album slips into a subtle change of pop-rock

anthems to contemporar y R&B ballads, which is nice, but some of the final tracks seem to be seamless melodies, as they repeat and repeat. As much as Lovato’s i c o n i c , b e l t i n g vo c a l s a re adored, she should reign them in at times. The refined and sultry album is one w o r t h c he c k i ng o u t , eve n though some overwhelming vocals appear unnecessarily like in “Cry Baby.” Lovato has plenty of amazing vocals that show-

Unfor tunately, the second half of the album tends to sink in comparison to the beginning, consisting of pop-rock, catchy anthems and perfectly belted vocals. However, it is still a pleasing and tasteful album that displays another side of the former Disney star.

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ fails to live up to original Connor Brennan Contributing Writer laker@oswegonian.com

To introduce the issue of “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” it is important to bring up another action sequel from nearly three decades ago, “Lethal Weapon 2.” That film had two things that made it a worthy film to the absolutely wild original: continuation and ambition. Despite not having a groundbreaking story, the sequel helped develop the friendship of its two main buddy cop characters, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson, “Blood Father”) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover, “Extortion”), which included hilarious banter between them written by Shane Black and Jeffrey Boam. It also dared to have bigger and even more entertaining set pieces than the original, such as a truck pulling an elevated house off its stilts. “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” can be simply defined as both lousy and lazy. After an entertaining, but

awkwardly shot opening scene, Kingsman agent Eggsy (Taron Egerton, “Billionaire Boys Club”) discovers he and Merlin (Mark Strong, “Miss Sloane”) are the only two agents left standing after their headquarters were destroyed. With nowhere left to turn and their investigation gaining traction, the remaining Kingsman team up with the Statesman, the U.S. division of their secretagent family headed by agents Champagne (Jeff Bridges, “Hell or High Water”), Tequila (Channing Tatum, Logan Lucky”), and Ginger Ale (Halle Berry, “Kidnap”) to continue their mission, which always comes first. While the deaths of almost all of the Kingsman agents and the destruction of the secret base should be indicative of something more different and dangerous than the original, “The Golden Circle” never does anything interesting with its story. For one thing, the original was filled with a sense of humor that not only provided great moments, but also related to how different it was trying to be from

the James Bond films, which were an obvious inspiration. It was being clever and self-aware without winking at the audience too much. Here, everything is played straight, there is very little humor present, and many of the jokes that are actually in the film fail to provide any laughs. Poppy Rose’s (Julianne Moore, “Still Alice”) evil plot is so similar to that of Samuel L. Jackson’s Richmond Valentine in the original. Both plots involve

selling a product to everyone in the world (microchips in the original, drugs here) and both plans involve the deaths of millions. The only difference is that killing millions was Valentine’s ultimate goal, while Rose uses the deaths of millions as part of a blackmail for her plan. Perhaps the worst performance is by Moore. She plays R o s e a s a c o n s t a n t l y p e rk y and enthusiastic middle-aged woman who will not stop trying to sound clever. It reeks of

similarity to Jesse Eisenberg’s performance in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,” in which he also plays the chara c t e r s o u p b e a t a nd q u i rk y that it does not feel fun, but more like an endurance test. It does not help that her character is poorly written as a villainess who just wants to be noticed. While Moore gives the worst per formance, the most embarrassing one is by Elton John, who spends most of the film as Rose’s captive, playing awful-sounding mus i c a n d w e a r i n g r i d i c u lo u s costumes. The drop of quality between the original film and the sequel reaches the same levels of disappointment of situations of a similar caliber, like with Steven Spielberg directing “Jurassic Park” and then the dismal “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” It would be preferable to say that one can enjoy “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” for a simple, entertaining time at the theater, but the film even fails to deliver on proper action sequences.

‘Gerald’s Game’ on Netflix plays with heads of lighthearted Olivia Palamara Contributing Writer laker@oswegonian.com

People are always amazed by the quality of the films that a re c re a t e d t h ro u g h N e t f l i x originals, and it is easy to say Netflix delivered again with “Gerald’s Game.”

Based off the novel of the same name by renowned author of horror Stephen King, who was behind other creative works such as “IT,” “The Shini n g ,” a n d “ C a r r i e ,” “ G e r a l d ’s Game” takes people on another insane and overwhelming journey through their own psyche as they vicariously experience terror and desperation. The psychological horror takes its audience down a dark and

twisted path as they follow Jessie (Carla Gugino, “The Space Between Us”) and her husband of 11 years, Gerald (Bruce Greenwood, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”) getting away from the bustle of the real world in hopes that they can find a way to rekindle their deteriorating marriage. While in the midst of attempting to saving their relationship, Gerald dies of a heart attack, leaving his wife handcuffed to the bed frame.

Photo provided by Netflix via YouTube.com Gugino and Greenwood surprise audiences with career-best performances in another well-executed Stephen King adaptation.

There is an almost eerie feel that is consistently felt through the uncertainty of everything that is seen in the movie. Through its grim aura, incredible cinematography and well-placed audio, the scenes are set up to play with the viewers’ thoughts and make them feel just as uncertain as Jessie. The suspense and darkness in the film help keep the audience cautious and on high alert for the smallest details. It is this kind of focus that really forces the audience to think as though they are in the midst of life and death. Unlike many other of King’s creepy written works that convey some sort of science-fiction or supernatural presence, it is the realness in “Gerald’s Game” that places the audience right in Jessie’s head. The most commendable part of “Gerald’s Game” is the acting from the movie’s stars. Based off a Stephen King novel, people watching this film go in with the knowledge that the writing is going to be good, but it is the execution from the actors that really solidify the story’s sense of terror. Carla Gugino, known mostly for her roles in the “Spy

Kids” trilogy and “Watchmen,” gives a stellar performance as the film’s lead. Gugino nails her role as Jessie Burlingame, an average woman with a dark history (and hopefully any kind of future). Bruce Greenwood plays the role of Jessie’s husband, after whom the film is titled, and also gives an incredible face to the character, all while mastering his persona. Gugino and Greenwood give a particular depth to their characters that is essential in considering the true message of “Gerald’s Game.” The genuineness of the characters is something that really emphasizes the vulnerability of finding oneself in a remarkably delicate position and the increasing urgency to get out of it. “Gerald’s Game” is an excellent representation of King’s novel that gives incredible reality to a disturbing tale through a successful exercise of cinematic horror and suspense. Around all of the gore and unsettling sexual themes, perseverance and strength of mind can be found in this raw, staggering, 90-minute-long experience.

DARK MEMORIES By Erin Newell Staff Writer It wasn’t that I missed them. It wasn’t that I wanted them to cluster my mind like an angry swarm of bees dive bombs their aggressor. Saying I missed them would be like saying you missed the oxygen you’re required to breathe, or missing the needle in

your arm that soothed the shaking. You don’t miss them, you need them. You try to brush and contain and cover and keep them down and away and distant from yourself. But just like old you and young you are the same you, so are they, so are those dark memories; They’re you. They cling to you like a lost passenger clings to the slabs of a broken ship,while they simultane-

ously lurk under you like blood-driven sharks prowl beneath the black, choppy water. And all you want is for them to stop. So you scream and beg and pray for them to subside, but no matter how many times you try to slam the door and lock them out, they always seep under the cracks, closing in around you until they fill every escape.
