New  York  state  Gov.  Andrew  Cuomo  revealed  his  Tax-­Free  New  York   Plan  to  about  300  community  members  in  New  Paltz  on  May  22. The  plan’s  goal  is  to  establish  tax-­ free  zones  of  up  to  200,000  square  feet  within  one  mile  of  a  SUNY  campus,  according  to  the  START-­UP  New  York  website. Participating  companies  in  the  Tax-­ Free  New  York  Initiative,  also  called  START-­UP  NY,  will  not  pay   taxes.  This  includes  business  and  corporate  taxes,  sales  taxes  and  property  taxes  for  up  to  10  years.  Employees  in  participating  com-­ panies  will  pay  no  income  taxes  for  the  ¿UVW ÂżYH \HDUV DQG ZLOO SD\ YDU\LQJ amounts  based  off  income  the  second  ¿YH \HDUV 7KH QXPEHU RI QHW QHZ MREV eligible  for  personal  income  tax  exemp-­ WLRQV ZLOO QRW H[FHHG QHZ MREV per  year,  according  to  the  law. The  initiative  wouldn’t  be  limited  to  the  64  SUNY  campuses  â€”  some  CUNY  and  private  colleges,  including  Marist  College,  will  also  take  part  in  the  plan.

for  either  recycling  or  composting,  Mitten  said.  6KH EHOLHYHV WKH ÂżUVW VWHS KDV EHHQ WDNHQ LQ GH-­ creasing  the  current  amount  of  waste  food  services  on  campus  create.  â€œThey  learned  what  is  compostable,  or  able  to  be  broken  down,  and  what  needs  to  be  recycled,â€?  Mitten  said.  Any  items  without  remains  of  food  and  with  a  low  enough  recycling  number  should  be  recycled.  Uten-­ sils  and  plates  soiled  with  food  are  able  to  be  placed  into  the  compost  bin.  At  the  event,  seven  35  gallon  FRPSRVWLQJ ELQV ZHUH ÂżOOHG WR WKH EULP D WHVWDPHQW WR how  many  students  were  willing  to  listen,  learn,  and  participate  in  making  the  move  toward  zero  waste,  Mitten  said.  Fourth-­year  psychology  major  Shannon  Fabiani,  who  interned  for  the  Sustainability  Committee  last  se-­ mester  and  worked  at  one  of  the  zero  waste  stations  at  the  BBQ,  agreed   â€œI  spoke  for  three  hours  informing  students  which  articles  of  garbage  on  their  plate  go  where,  including  the  plate,â€?  Fabiani  said.  â€œThe  reactions  were  varied,  but  no  one  opposed.   When  you  think  about  it,  who  is  going  to  resist  where  their  garbage  ends  up?  It  is  just  a  matter  of  becoming  aware  of  it  and  learning  how  to  properly  and  sustainably  dispose  of  your  garbage.â€?  Annie  Courtens,  a  second-­year  sociology  major  who  also  interned  for  the  Sustainability  Committee Â

said  it  was  a  successful  step  in  educating  students.  â€œI  wasn’t  the  only  one  who  thought  it  was  cool  that  the  forks  were  made  from  potatoes  and  other  biodegradable  material,â€?  Courtens  said.  â€œIf  we  all  do  our  part  then  it  can  go  a  long  way  in  making  a  more  healthy  and  resilient  world  to  live  in.  We  need  to  give  back  a  little  for  all  that  we  have  taken  away  from  the  Earth.â€? Fabiani  said  living  in  an  egocentric  society,  people  forget  we  are  also  animals  and  that  Earth’s  cycle  im-­ pacts  us,  just  as  we  impact  it. An  â€œattachment  to  disposable  culture  and  little  at-­ tachment  to  the  earth  of  our  Earthâ€?  is  what  allows  us  to  impact  the  world  so  negatively,  but  education  can  change  this,  she  said. “But  the  education  cannot  stop  here,â€?  Mitten  said.  Mitten  said  further  student  outreach  events  will  be  necessary  to  drive  home  the  point  about  the  campus’  shift  from  disposing  waste  in  the  trash  to  recycling  and  composting  of  it.  Mitten  said  she  also  hopes  to  incorporate  signs  and  information  at  the  recycling  and  composting  bins  around  campus  to  further  encourage  and  educate  students.  She  also  seeks  to  create  strong  relationships  with  the  residence  halls  on  campus  to  establish  recycling  and  composting  programs  within  the  dorms,  as  well  as  working  with  any  clubs  or  organization  that  wish  to  become  less  wasteful.

The  56th  student  senate  held  their  second  meeting  of  the  semester  on  Wednesday,  Sept.  11  at  7:30  p.m.  in  Student  Union  (SU)  418.  Student  Association  (SA)  President  Manuel  Te-­ jada  opened  the  meeting  reporting  that  he  had  met  with  SUNY  New  Paltz  President  Donald  Christian  and  briefed  him  on  the  senate’s  goals  for  the  semes-­ ter.  Tejada  said  he  will  be  attending  the  presidential  cabinet  meeting  next  Tuesday  and  that  the  proposed  SUNY-­wide  campus  smoking  ban  as  well  as  the  Park  Point  housing  project  will  be  among  the  subjects  dis-­ cussed.  Tejada  also  announced  the  return  of  â€œLet’s  Talk  About  It,â€?  a  race  and  discrimination  forum  created  in  2012  as  a  result  of  racial  signage  posted  on  campus  property.  Tejada  said  the  event,  featuring  slam  poets  and  speakers  on  race,  will  likely  be  scheduled  for  Nov.  16.  At  the  conclusion  of  his  report,  Tejada  said  the  re-­ sults  of  last  year’s  online  survey  on  New  Paltz  drug  policy  will  be  made  public  within  the  next  two  weeks.  SA  Vice  President  Zachary  Rousseas  gave  his Â

report  on  the  senate’s  University  Police  Department  Committee  (UPD)  which  met  Monday.  Rousseas  said  the  committee  plans  to  release  a  pamphlet  on  the  top  ten  facts  students  should  be  aware  of  when  interacting  with  UPD.  Rousseas  also  expressed  concern  over  Navy  of-­ ÂżFHUVÂś SUHVHQFH RQ FDPSXV ,QLWLDOO\ XQGHU WKH LPSUHV-­ VLRQ WKDW WKH RIÂżFHUV ZHUH FRQGXFWLQJ D UHFUXLWPHQW campaign,  Rousseas  proposed  banning  the  group,  and  said  that  the  campus  should  not  support  an  organi-­ zation  that  openly  discriminates  by  not  recognizing  transgender  individuals  looking  to  enlist  in  the  mili-­ tary.  Rousseas  then  addressed  the  school’s  non-­dis-­ crimination  policy.  According  to  Rousseas,  gender  identity  was  not  listed  among  the  types  of  discrimina-­ WLRQ ZKHUH FKDUJHV FRXOG EH ÂżOHG ZLWK WKH VFKRRO “To  my  understanding,  as  it  stands,  discrimination  on  student  gender  identity  is  technically  legal  at  New  Paltz,â€?  Rousseas  said.  Rousseas  said  he  would  be  working  with  Campus  Climate  Director  Tanhena  Pacheco-­Dunn  to  further  address  Title  IX  issues  on  campus.   Vice  President  of  Academic  Affairs  and  Gover-­

nance  Jordan  Taylor  spoke  on  the  status  of  the  pos-­ sibility  of  having  the  Women’s,  Gender  and  Sexuality  (WGS)  program  developed  into  a  department.  Taylor  said  that  after  meeting  with  SUNY  New  Paltz  Provost  Phillip  Mauceri,  the  WGS  program  was  offered  one  full-­time  hire  within  the  program  with  the  stipulation  WKDW WKH SURJUDP ZRXOG QRW EH DOORZHG WR ÂżOH IRU GH-­ SDUWPHQWDO VWDWXV IRU WKH QH[W WKUHH WR ÂżYH \HDUV A  senate  discussion  on  the  matter  was  held  later  in  the  night  to  elaborate  on  Taylor’s  meeting  with  Mau-­ ceri.  Taylor  said  the  proposal  was  a  â€œno  negotiationâ€?  take-­it-­or-­leave-­it   situation,  which  senate  believes  the  program  will  accept,  despite  being  a  â€œshort-­term  solu-­ tion.â€?  The  provost’s  rationale  for  not  granting  WGS  departmental  status  comes  from  a  dislike  of  the  aca-­ demic  structure  where  departments  compete  against  one  another  for  limited  resources,  Taylor  said.  Instead  Mauceri  proposed  the  creation  of  an  interdisciplinary  center  where  programs  like  WGS  would  collaborate  WR EHQHÂżW RQH DQRWKHU DQG EHFRPH VWURQJHU DV D UHVXOW Taylor  said. The  next  student  senate  meeting  will  take  place  on  Wednesday,  Sept.  18  at  7:30  p.m.  in  SU  418.

Wendell Harp 5k Run/Walk Finishes Strong MEMORIAL RACE UNITES GENERATIONS FOR FUNDRAISING By  April  Castillo Features  Editor  |  acastillo@hawkmail.newpaltz.edu

It’s  more  of  a  movement  than  a  memoriam  now,  but  the  Harp  5k  Run/Walk  is  still  going  strong. The  race,  held  on  Saturday,  Sept.  7,  was  sponsored  by  Hospice,  Inc  in  honor  of  Harp,  an  attorney  who  served  on  the  organization’s  founding  board  prior  to  his  death  from  a  heart  attack  in  2002,  Lisa  Otis,  Harp’s  daughter  said.  â€œMy  dad  was  a  true  New  Paltzian,â€?  Otis  said.  â€œHe  was  al-­ ways  somebody  you  could  turn  to  for  a  helping  hand.  He  didn’t  just  serve  on  it  to  have  his  name  out  there.  It  meant  something  to  him.â€? When  the  organization  approached  her  family  about  start-­ ing  a  run/walk  in  his  memory,  their  positive  experiences  with  family  members  in  hospice  encouraged  them  to  agree. “Both  of  [my  father’s]  parents  had  hospice  care  at  home,â€?  Otis  said.  â€œThe  volunteers  and  nurses  that  came  to  help  out  were  just  phenomenal.â€?  Michael  Murphy,  executive  director  of  Hospice,  Inc.,  served  with  Harp  on  the  founders’  board  of  the  organization.  â€œHe  was  not  only  dedicated  to  Hospice,  Inc.,â€?  Murphy  said.  â€œHe  was  dedicated  to  the  community.â€? This  year,  the  race  featured  a  glossy  new  title  as  a  5k,  but   walking  enthusiasts  needn’t  be  worried,  as  it’s  only  a  tenth  of  a  mile  farther  than  previous  years. Â

The  people  volunteering  at  the  event  have  grown  and  changed  over  the  years,  Otis  said.  In  the  beginning,  many  peo-­ ple  came  out  because  they  knew  Harp.  Now,  the  race’s  grow-­ ing  number  of  participants  even  includes  local  cross-­country  teams.  Otis,  who  teaches  Spanish  at  Highland  High  School,  said  it  was  great  to  have  the  Highland  team  participate. Despite  the  new  faces,  Otis  said  Harp’s  legacy  lives  on  in  the  event. “Every  year,  someone  will  share  a  story  about  him  or  have  a  nice  word  to  say,â€?  Otis  said. Murphy  said  the  race  strives  to  bring  the  community  to-­ gether  through  fun  and  competition  for  local  runners.  This  PHOTO  COURTESY  OF  FLICKR  USER  MICHAEL  LOKNER year,  it  has  integrated  electronic  scoring.  Murphy  said  he  hopes  the  new  distance  and  timing  fea-­ Cross-­country  teams  join  the  race  in  memory  of  Harp.  tures  of  the  run/walk  will  help  keep  the  funding  going.  â€œWe  pice,  Inc.  is  involved  with,  educates  local  veterans  about  the  didn’t  want  to  become  old-­fashioned,â€?  he  said. enhanced  assistance  available  to  them  if  they  or  a  family  mem-­ As  of  this  year,  the  organization  has  raised  nearly  ber  has  a  terminal  illness,  Murphy  said. $100,000.  The  programs  the  funds  are  distributed  to  vary  from  The  organization’s  programs  may  vary,  but  the  heart  of  \HDU WR \HDU 7KLV \HDU 0XUSK\ VDLG WKH IXQGV ZLOO EHQHÂżW D the  event  is  the  same.  And  for  now,  there  are  still  family  and  new  program,  Heart  to  Heart. friends  who  remember  the  man  they’re  walking  for.  â€œOur  goal  is  to  improve  the  care  of  end-­stage  heart  pa-­ “It  doesn’t  hurt  so  much  any  more  because  it’s  been  12  tients,â€?  Murphy  said.  â€œThey  can  remain  at  home  during  their  years.  I  know  once  a  year  there  will  be  someone  [who  knew  ¿QDO GD\V UDWKHU WKDQ FRQVWDQWO\ JRLQJ WR WKH KRVSLWDO ´ him.]  Maybe  I  haven’t  seen  them  in  a  year  -­  but  they  say,  â€˜I  will  The  second  program  seeks  an  even  bigger  target:  national  be  there,  I  wouldn’t  miss  it.’â€? health  coverage.  We  Honor  Veterans,  a  national  program  Hos-­

Healing Hands At Wholistic Health Fair

LOCAL VENDORS OFFER MASSAGES AND HEALTH GOODS TO BENEFIT ELTING LIBRARY By  Madeline  Anthony Copy  Editor  |  n02436976@hawkmail.newpaltz.edu

Health  nuts  found  their  haven  at  the  third-­annual  â€œWholistic  Health  and  Wellness  Fair,â€?  held  this  week-­ end  at  Elting  Memorial  Library.  Vendors  offered  com-­ plimentary  massages,  aura  readings  and  other  services.  All  proceeds  from  goods  sold  at  the  booths  were  do-­ nated  to  the  library. Wellness  enthusiasts  packed  the  12  booths  at  the  fair,  which  included  Brooks  Farms,  Hudson  Valley  Backyard  Farms,  The  Eastern  Hypnosis  Center,  Earth-­ goods  Market,  Rising  Spirit  of  Thunderheart,  Roots  and  Wings,  the  Chaung  Yen  Monastery  and  Practicing  Peace,  a  group  that  promotes  non-­violent  communica-­ tion. 22-­year-­old  Lana  Heintjes  said  her  own  positive  experience  from  yoga  made  her  want  to  share  it  with  others.  Heintjes  had  participated  in  a  yoga  program  with  her  partner  of  three  years. “It  completely  changed  my  relationship,â€?  she  said. Before  the  two  practiced  yoga,  she  said  she  felt Â

anxious  and  tense  around  her  partner.  The  program  has  taught  her  to  respond  calmly  and  rationally  instead. Heintjes  now  teaches  this  â€œmindful  meditationâ€?  in  a  three-­month  program,  â€œPartner  Yoga,  Thai  Yoga  Bodywork  and  Meditation.â€?  The  sessions  are  offered  at  her  home,  she  said. “It  rewires  your  brain  for  love,â€?  she  said.  â€œYou  no-­ tice  when  the  other  one  is  in  pain.  You  massage  each  other.â€? Heintjes  said  these  yoga  and  meditation  practices  can  help  platonic  friendships  too.  She  said  she  now  re-­ DFWV WR DQG UHVROYHV ÂżJKWV GLIIHUHQWO\ “It  never  would  have  happened  without  medita-­ tion,â€?  she  said. Holistic  health  also  changed  Lorraine  Hughes’s  life.  Hughes,  a  practicing  herbalist,  had  her  own  health  issues.  After  learning  how  her  diet  and  health  were  in-­ tertwined,  she  realized  the  strong  negative  effects  of  the  prescription  drugs  she  was  taking. “I  was  a  canary  in  a  coal  mine,â€?  Hughes  said.  â€œI  saw  natural  modalities  as  the  way  to  go.â€?

Thursday,  September  12,  2013

Hughes  has  practiced  herbology  since  2005  and  currently  specializes  in  Chinese  medicine.  She  attend-­ ed  the  East  West  School  of  Herbology  and  makes  her  own  teas  and  herbal  remedies. The  teas  she  offered  include  ones  that  aid  relax-­ ation  and  multi-­tasking. “You  have  to  help  people  help  themselves,â€?  Hughes  said.  â€œIt’s  not  about  the  money.  Teachers  open  the  door,  but  you  have  to  walk  through  the  door  your-­ self.â€? Others  discovered  the  joy  of  holistic  health  much  earlier  in  life.  Massage  therapist  and  healer  Christina  Powers  said  she  has  loved  giving  massages  since  she  was  six  years  old. Powers  studied  Native  American  Shamanism  and  both  Eastern  and  European  healing  modalities  as  a  teenager  and  then  started  with  meditation.   â€œWhen  you  connect  to  a  person,  you  listen  to  the  person’s  sorrows  in  their  body  that  affect  their  mind.  You’re  giving  them  an  opportunity  to  heal  themselves,â€?  Powers  said.  â€œAs  human  beings,  we  are  all  healers.â€?

WEEKEND WARRIORS PREPARE FOR SATURDAY SESSIONS By  Suzy  Berkowitz A&E  Editor  |  Sabbasberkowitz90@hawkmail.newpaltz.edu

Saturday  isn’t  typically  a  day  for  learning,  but  it  is  now.  The  Saturday  Arts  Lab,  part  of  New  Paltz’s  School  of  Fine  and  Perform-­ ing  Arts’  Community  Arts  School,  be-­ gins  on  Saturday,  Sept.  21  and  will  run  through  Saturday,  Nov.  9.

groups to perform with, Shaydie said. The registration process entailed kids choosing their type of performance and contacting Shaydie. Unless adults were joining in as part of their kids’ acts, they were members of the audience. One important component of the talent show was that it provided kids with the space to perform without harsh outside judgement, Shaydie said. “There is a lot for kids involved with sports,” Shaydie said. “But not a lot for arts as young children — not all kids want to go out for sports.” Shaydie said it is important to give children with a passion for performance an area where they can share that passion with similar kids. The next show will be held at La Bella on Wednesday, Oct. 30, and will be Halloween-themed.

tHe Deep END LIZ MELNYCZUK

Major: Printmaking Year: Third

Inspirations: Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Pierre Bonnard

“My artwork includes paintings, drawings and prints. In painting, I like to focus on color interactions and brushstroke textures. I am still experimenting with printmaking and the numerous processes and techniques that are involved. In printmaking, I find myself returning to a simple floral subject. In the future, I hope to use the repetition and nature of multiples to influence my subject choices.”

CONSTRUCTIVE Â CRITICISM

CARTOON Â BY Â JULIE Â GUNDERSEN Â

For  the  past  four  years  our  campus  has  seen  the  be-­ ginning  of  numerous  construction  projects  to  renovate  Wooster  Science  Building,  the  Sojourner  Truth  Library,  Lefevre  Hall  and  several  other  grand-­scale  projects.  Though  the  process  has  been  on  and  off  in  many  cases,  the  projects  have  all  resumed  this  year  with  clear  end-­dates  now  in  sight.  We  at  The  New  Paltz  Oracle  commend  the  adminis-­ tration  for  their  commitment  to  maximizing  the  beauty  and  utility  of  our  campus.  We  understand  the  impor-­ tance  of  creating  facilities  that   uphold  the  standards  of  our  college  and  we  recognize  the  time,  energy  and  labor  required  to  carry  out  such  projects.  The  various  renovations  and  construction  projects  are  without  a  doubt  long  term  investments  in  our  cam-­ pus  that  will  only  better  our  learning  environment.  Up-­ dated  classrooms,  study  areas,  dining  establishments  and  additional  residence  halls  will  only  raise  the  quality  of  life  and  education  on  this  campus. However,  we  worry  that  the  constant  pursuit  of  bet-­ ter  facilities  for  the  future  will  inhibit  students  in  the Â

present.  Many  on  our  campus  have  never  experienced  SUNY  New  Paltz  without  construction.   In  some  ways,  that’s  more  than  a  little  troubling.  7KH FKDQJHV WKRXJK XOWLPDWHO\ EHQHÂżFLDO FDQ RI-­ ten  compromise  the  living  and  learning  conditions  of  those  who  work  and  attend  school  here.  The  alternate,  detour  routes  from  residence  halls  to  classroom  build-­ ings  have  become  the  only  routes.  The  noise  pollution  outside  the  Humanities  Building  is  an  accepted  annoy-­ ance.   For  many,  their  college  experiences  and  memo-­ ries  include  the  hum  of  heavy  machinery  on  the  quad,  blue  fences  and  â€œpardon  our  appearanceâ€?  signs.   A  campus  complete  with  all  the  necessary  trappings  of  an  institution  of  higher  learning  is  obviously  a  shared  goal.  However,  the  in-­progress  nature  of  our  campus,  a  inconvenient  and  aesthetically  unpleasant  as  it  is,  ulti-­ mately  sends  the  message  that  the  best  our  school  has  to  offer  is  not  meant  for  current  students.  During  the  school  year  and  for  our  time  as  students,  this  campus  is  our  home.  To  know  that  our  home  is  go-­ ing  to  be  beautiful  some  day  is  assuring,  but  the  appear-­

ance  and  quality  of  our  campus  today  is  still  a  primary  concern.  We  hope  administration  and  those  involved  in  the  projects  will  seek  to  prevent  future  halts  in  the  construc-­ tion  and  renovations  and  that  they  remain  transparent  when  new  developments  occur.  We  believe  keeping  our  eyes  on  the  future  is  admi-­ rable,  but  we  shouldn’t  lose  sight  of  the  needs  of  current  students  in  the  process.

 Over  the  summer,  my  friend  Carolyn  told  me  she  had  been  giving  the  concept  of  guilty  pleasures  a  lot  of  thought. “If  you  like  something,  why  would  you  feel  guilty  about  it?â€?  I  remember  her  asking  as  the  two  of  us  and  our  friend  Julie  drove  down  Long  Island’s  Ocean  Parkway  with  Ralph’s  Italian  Ices  in  our  hands  and  Brand  New  lyrics  blasting  in  our  ears.  â€œYou  should  be  able  to  enjoy  something  without  worrying  about  what  other  people  think.â€?

But  after  coming  off  of  a  summer  where  I  worked  with  a  group  of  12  to  14  year  olds,  I  feel  more  compelled  than  ever  to  tell  you  that  everyone  around  you  has  guilty  pleasures  they  may  or  may  not  be  100  percent  proud  of. And  you  have  them  too.  Whatever  that  guilty  pleasure  is,  it  probably  makes  you  really  cool.  Let’s  face  it,  all  of  us  like  pizza,  all  of  us  think  â€œGame  of  Thronesâ€?  is  great  and  DOO RI XV NQRZ WKDW LWÂśV XQ $PHULFDQ WR GLV like  the  Beatles  (don’t  worry,  I’m  in  on  the  MRNH I’m  talking  about  those  weird  and  quirky  things  you  might  be  hesitant  to  bring  XS ZKHQ \RXÂśUH DURXQG SHRSOH \RXÂśYH QHY er  really  met.  Maybe  even  around  people Â

The  Jets  Win,  But  It’s  Not  All  Good

These  kinds  of  mental  mistakes  are  completely  inexcus-­ able  coming  from  a  head  coach,  whose  job  is  to  put  their  team  in  the  best  position  to  win.  Here  Ryan  was  not  doing  that.   The  Jets  only  won  because  of  an  idiotic  personal  foul  penalty  on  LaVonte  David,  which  set  up  Nick  Folk’s  game-­ ZLQQLQJ Âż HOG JRDO +DG WKH SHUVRQDO IRXO SHQDOW\ QRW WDNHQ place,  the  Jets  would  have  attempted  a  hail  mary  to  try  and  WDNH WKH OHDG EHFDXVH WKH\ ZHUHQÂśW LQ Âż HOG JRDO UDQJH Had  Ryan  called  time  out,  they  would  have  had  seven  more  seconds  to  gain  the  yards  necessary  to  attempt  a  game-­

Despite  calling  the  wildcat  too  often,  I  loved  how  Morn-­ hinweg  used  Quarterback  Geno  Smith.   He  allowed  Smith  to  roll  out  of  the  pocket  and  use  his  athleticism  to  make  plays.   :KLOH 6PLWK LVQÂśW D UXQ Âż UVW TXDUWHUEDFN KH KDV HQRXJK PR bility  that  allows  him  to  make  plays  while  on  the  move.   If  Mornhinweg  can  cut  down  on  the  use  of  the  wildcat  IRUPDWLRQ KHOS 6PLWK UHOD[ PRUH RQ WKH Âż HOG DQG GHYHORS a  strong  running  game,  the  Jets  can  have  a  strong  offense.   These  are  big  adjustments  that  need  to  be  made,  but  they’re  crucial  to  any  success  the  Jets  will  have  this  season.   As  for  the  week-­two  game  against  the  Patriots  tonight,  I  believe  the  Patriots  will  win  38-­10  and   Tom  Brady  will  pick  apart  the  Jets  defense.   On  the  offensive  side  of  the  ball  for  the  Jets,  Smith  and  company  will  struggle  to  do  anything  productive. Going  against  the  Patriots   will  reveal  the  true  identity  of  the  Jets,  and  will  show  what  to  expect  of  this  team  going  forward. Â

As  we  steadily  roll  into  the  month  of  September,  a  number  of  things  are  on  my  mind.  I  have  to  worry  about  class,  study-­ ing  and  girls  all  on  top  of  working  at  the  newspaper.   %XW PRVW LPSRUWDQWO\ ,ÂśYH JRW WR Âż J ure  out  how  I’m  going  to  perfect  my  front-­ side  boardslide  when  I  strap  up  this  season.  It’s  been  a  while  since  I’ve  gotten  to  ride.  Too  long.  I  spent  the  majority  of  the  2011-­12  Season  trekking  to  Hunter  Mountain  from  New  Paltz.  A  good  mate  of  mine,  Alex  Nye,  and  I  would  head  up  ev-­ ery  Wednesday,  speeding  through  the  fog  under  dark  gray  skies  along  the  New  York  State  Thruway.  In  what  was  the  worst  season  I  can  re-­ member  in  my  entire  life  as  a  snowboarder,  I  went  to  hit  park  more  than  50  times.   But  each  time  we  went,  the  conditions  were  so Â

terrible  it  was  nearly  impossible  to  prog-­ ress  at  any  level  that  seemed  plausible  to  us.  Our  technical  skill  was  good  enough  to  EH OHDUQLQJ QHZHU PRUH GLIÂż FXOW WULFNV EXW how  could  I  make  myself  try  to  spin  a  540  over  a  25  foot  jump  if  its  lip  is  sheer  ice  and  on  impact  the  landing  feels  like  concrete?  I  thought  I’d  found  the  solution.   I’ll  travel  away  from  the  East  Coast  for  a  season.   My  mum,  born  and  raised  in  Phoenix,  AZ,  always  chose  where  we  would  go  on  vacation,  meaning  we  nev-­ er  took  out  to  Utah  or  Colorado.   She’s  a  hell  of  a  lawyer,  but  not  so  nice  on  the  skis.  Blessed  with  the  opportunity  to  study  abroad,  I  chose  to  do  it  in  New  Zealand  where  I  could  snowboard  during  the  North-­ ern  Hemisphere’s  summer  months.    I  had  seen  so  many  awesome  videos  of  Kiwi  riders  like  Nick  Hyne  and  Billy  Mor-­

Thursday,  September  12  ,  2013

into  one  of  New  Zealand’s  worst  skiing  and  snowboarding  seasons  in  recent  his-­ tory.  The  riding  I  experienced  in  New  Zea-­ land  was  reminiscent  of  a  mediocre  season  at  a  mountain  like  Okemo,  Ludlow,  VT.   It  seems  wherever  I  go,  ice  follows.  I  can’t  tell  you  how  many  times  I  heard,  â€œOh  man  you  should’ve  been  here  last  season,â€?  or,  â€œyou’ve  got  to  stick  around  mate,  next  season  is  going  to  be  killer.â€?  But,  in  the  end,  tough  luck,  Ben.   This  is  the  life  of  an  Eastern  Snowboarder.   There  is  no  time  for  pessimism.  That  time  is  reserved  for  sliding  medal.  Don’t  spend  time  dwelling  on  the  past,  avoid  thinking  about  your  falls,  and  be  FRQÂż GHQW LQ \RXU VNLOOV $QG QRW WR EH WKDW dude,  but  actually  yeah,  to  be  that  dude,  have  fun.  East  coast,  beast  coast.  Later,  skaters.
