grams on campus, which includes the School of Arts and Humanities, the School of Business, the School of Education, and the School of Math and Sciences.

“I’m in the position of working with everyone on campus for making the best education experience possible,” Salavitabar said.

He works in tandem with public relations, admissions, graduate programs, and student affairs to name a few.

“When I see something I need to do to bring people together, work on a program or activity, I don’t hesitate to call on colleagues in those areas and work on them,” Salavitabar said.

Graduating with a master’s degree from Penn State in 1980 and his PhD from Binghamton University in 1982, Salavitabar’s dedication to education is a top priority. Prior to coming to Saint Rose, Salavitabar spent 31 years at SUNY New Paltz in various positions, first as a faculty member, then Chair of the Department of Business Administration, next the Associate Dean of Engineering and Business Administration, and lastly Founding Dean of the university’s School of Business.

With all of his experience in academics, Salavitabar is an avid traveler. His office is decorated with family photos and a variety of souvenirs from numerous countries around the world ranging from China, to Greece, Iran, and beyond. This interest in traveling abroad has translated into his professional life, as he is a fervent supporter of international studies and exchange programs.

On the subject of a Fulbright speaker who recently visited The College, Salavitabar described himself as “delighted” with the prospect of Saint Rose students applying for such programs that allow them to study abroad. He is a fervent believer in learning opportunities outside the classroom and that education is not limited to four walls and some desks.

Shai Butler, Assistant to the President for Diversity and Chief Diversity Officer called Salavitabar a “champion of diversity” because of his dedication to expanding international learning.

His keen interest in fostering relationships between countries and cultures creates what Butler referred to as campus climate with a “culture of inclusive excellence.” Butler described this as Saint Rose being a campus in which students not only respect different backgrounds, but celebrate, learn from, and value them.

Salavitabar’s goals for the future are not focused solely on promoting and celebrating culture at Saint Rose. He and Interim President Kirwin plan to form new advisory groups and improve existing ones to benefit the transfer student population at The College, as well as expanding the Business Advisory Council to better the Huether School of Business.

Salavitabar and Kirwin also plan to explore new ways to increase student retention rates at Saint Rose. They both are encouraging the faculty’s development of new degree programs and concentrations that both undergraduate and graduate students can benefit from, which may include a larger selection of online courses.

Kiriwn and Salavitabar have gotten to know each other well in the short time they have worked together.

“It’s a pleasure to work with Dr. Salavitabar because he has a great sense of humor, and he is so available and accessible. This is a man with an incredible work ethic,” Kirwin said.

Salavitabar’s drive to help students and faculty succeed is seen not only by those who work closely with him, but by students as well. Justin Whittaker, President of the Student Association, first met Salavitabar briefly at the Academic Convocation for the Freshman Class of 2017 where he left an immediate impression.

“He is very interested in the success of student organizations on the campus, and is willing to talk with anyone on how to improve their organization or how it is promoted on the college campus,” said Whittaker.

When Whittaker says he is interested in the success of student organizations on campus, it’s no fleeting remark. Salavitabar’s door is literally always open, a true testament to how he views his role in the campus community. “If they ask for me, I’m always available,” he said, “And I’m not just saying that. I look at them [students] like they’re my kids. If your kids talked, you’d listen, wouldn’t you?”

Student involvement and strengthening the campus com-

munity is something Salavitabar holds dear. During his time at SUNY New Paltz, he was constantly interacting with the students. “You could barely see my office without the students in it,” he said.

While his role has changed slightly, he still plans to do whatever he can to be actively involved in student life because “students are our customers. They’re the reason we’re here.” Salavitabar wants faculty, staff, and students alike to know that he and those in his department are more than willing to explore every option to making Saint Rose a place they are proud to call home. He wants everyone to feel comfortable together like any close-knit family.

“Call, email, or stop by my office. I don’t block them out [students]. I don’t go home until there’s no one here left to talk to,” he said.

In regard to clubs and organizations planning events, Salavitabar said, “Do not eliminate anything because of space or resources.

That’s my problem.” While he may not be able to solve every problem, there is no turning him away from at least trying to find a solution. He is what Kirwin calls a “doer,” which has won Salavitabar her respect for his resolve and dedication to every aspect of this campus.

When students leave Saint Rose, Salavitabar wants them to be prepared, to “have all the right tools in their tool box.” For Hadi, this is far more than just knowledge absorbed in the classroom. It is about having learned to appreciate diverse groups of people in an atmosphere that felt like home, a home that fostered growth, involvement, and support.

Dr. Hadi Salavitabar says his door is always open if students ever wanted to see him.

News Jugs and Mugs: The New Kid on the Block

A6

The Chronicle

By LAUREN HALLIGAN News Editor Jugs and Mugs, the new bar and restaurant that plans to make roadhouse barbeque and beer served in mugs and growlers its signature, opened this month on Madison Avenue.

Jugs and Mugs is housed in the space once occupied by college bar Sadie Klutz at 849 Madison Ave. For more than a year, the space was vacant after Sadie Klutz was shut down for not complying with regulations, including serving alcohol to underage students.

Owner David Cardona is determined to offer the neighborhood something different.

Instead, Cardona and Executive Chef Chick Hawksley, a passionate culinary artist who has been in the restaurant business for 41 years, put his heart and soul into the restaurant’s roadhouse Americana cuisine.“I want to take your standard classic comfort food and kick it right through the roof,” Hawksley said.

The Jugs and Mugs menu has a Southern roadhouse barbeque style. This is Cardona’s first endeavor in the restaurant business.

“I think our food is unique, certainly different than what you’ll find in most places,” Cardona said. “We’re doing jambalaya.

We’re doing meatloaf. We’re doing open-faced Reubens with homemade slaw on them.”

With entrees such as The Juggernaut, topped with pulled pork, jalapeno-jack cheese, fried onions and a side of barbeque sauce or the Big Honkin Reuben, a grilled open faced sandwich with fresh house-made sauerkraut and “an obscene amount of corned beef and cheese,” the menu has hearty options for their new patrons.

“We’re bringing the slow food revolution to Albany,” Hawksley said, referring to the movement opposing fast food, rather preserving culinary traditions in an eco-friendly way. “We’re pickling our own corned beef for

Nothing sits.” Hawksley will also personally cater to anyone with a special diet or allergy.

“Instead of being a rowdy college bar with late night mozzarella sticks and cheap frozen chicken wings, what we want to be is a nice, different restaurant that has a bar that anyone who goes to college that’s 21-years old and older can come in and enjoy our specials,” Cardona said. “The older college students deserve that.”

The down-to-Earth and comfortable environment, complete

with cozy window nooks cushioned with pillows makes an evening out sort of feel like home.

Front house Manager Lynida Hull reiterated that Jugs and Mugs is “not just a bar for college kids.”

“The atmosphere is behaved,” owner David Cardona said, proud that of the 97 IDs swiped through their license-reading machine on the business’s first two nights, not one was underage. However, those who are not of legal drinking age are welcome to enjoy the cuisine in the dining room.

Unlike Saidie Klutz, which was repeatedly reprimanded by the city for breaking the law, “We want to make sure we’re doing everything by the rules,” Cardona

added.

Bar Manager Nadine Reutzel said that they’re aiming for a 30-and-older crowd. In an effort to keep the Jugs and Mugs drink selections more mature, Reutzel keeps the bar stocked with “crafty beer and liquor.” Behind the bar, she uses lesser-known brands such as Kraken spiced rum instead of Captain Morgan.

Jugs and Mugs offers 20 different bottled beers and 12 craft beers.

A popular drink choice at Jugs and Mugs is the ever-running Corona special. “We have $2 Coronas all the time. Every time the doors open,” Cardona said. Elsewhere in town, at the Washington Tavern, Coronas cost as much as $5.25. The bar completely sold out on opening night, Wednesday, Sept. 4, instead offering Heinekens for the same sale price.

For football season, Jugs and Mugs is also offering $1.50 Labatt drafts every time a football game is on, which is generally all Sunday afternoons, evenings, and nights.

Unique drinks such as Beermosas and peach margaritas were also chalked on the special board in the restaurant’s opening week.

However, beer is the main attraction at Jugs and Mugs. “Although it’s the same beer you’re going to get someplace else, it’s served a little differently.” Beverages can be served in 25 oz. mugs or big growler jugs, which hold 64 oz., nearly as much alcohol as a standard 6-pack of beer. The growlers, with the Jugs and Mugs logo printed on the side, are takehome only, due to liquor authority law. Growlers cost $21 to buy full with draft beer, and $12 to refill.

Selling growlers allows Jugs and Mugs to also appeal to the athome drinker. Jugs and Mugs is the only place in the Pine Hills neighborhood to sell growlers, though they are a growing trend.

Impressed with the amount of business in the first few days of opening his first bar restaurant endeavor, “We’ve hit numbers that I never thought we would reach,”

Hawksley said. The restaurant currently has approximately 30 employees.

Though some will still peg it as a bar for college students, Cardona said, “Well, yeah, after 9 o’clock at night, chances are 90 percent of the people in it are going to be college students. If that means it’s a college bar, then you can call it a college bar, but in my mind - what I used to go to - is where you were drinking 50 cent or dollar beers in plastic cups and spilling them all over the place.

That’s not what it is.”

Some in the neighborhood were misled by the business’s name and signage, suspecting that Cardona’s use of the word “jugs” was less than pure. Addressing the confusion about the establishment, “This is not a Hooters by any means,” Hull said.

“A friend of mine actually came up with the name,” Cardona said. This friend, who works with a beer company, noticed that the neighborhood was lacking a bar that served all different kinds of beers in big containers.

“So, he said, ‘how about Jugs and Mugs?’ and I said, ‘Sounds like a great idea,” Cardona explained.

“It sounds like a place that you drink a lot of beer.”

When he later saw the logo, Cardona liked its old-fashioned style, and he went with it.

The simple, black and white business logo features a cartoon young female with accentuated curves, holding a beer mug while sitting on a beer barrel in a pinup girl pose. The woman has a closed-lipped smirk on her face, and a tattoo of a Z on her arm.

Growlers are also featured in the scene.

When negative accusations came in, some through letters and emails to the Board of Zoning Appeals, that the business was promoting something other than large beer containers and good food, “I never even thought about it, because that not what I was Continued on Page A7

September 24th, 2013 Continued From Page A6 doing,” he said. “That’s not me.

That’s not my family. That’s not who I am.”

Though some were unhappy, Cardona kept the name and logo, with confidence in his original vision. “I felt like I was admitting guilt for something that I didn’t do wrong if I changed the name.

So I kept it and went with it.

I’m not that type of person, that wasn’t my intention,” Cardona said.

Brad Glass in Albany’s Office of Land Use Planning said that because the business proposed to open a tavern and stay open later than normal, Jugs and Mugs had to be reviewed for a special permit. “Bars require a special permit in that particular zoning district,” Glass said.

At Zoning Board meeting on Aug. 28, the board took the case under consideration, and the action was taken to approve the special use permits Jugs and Mugs requested. The permits stated that the City of Albany Zoning Ordinance will allow Jugs and Mugs, classified as a tavern, to occupy the approximate 2,150 square foot commercial structure at the premise, and have closing hours of midnight Sunday through Tuesday and 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Any business that is open between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. is required to obtain a special use permit in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district.

Five members voted: four approved the permits and one opposed. The opposing member was Joseph Ray, who is also a Pine Hills neighborhood crossing guard.

The Board of Zoning Appeals evaluated the use of the establishment, but their decision did not concern the Jugs and Mugs title or logo, “There are free speech laws surrounding stuff like that,” Glass said.

Jeff Jamison, Director of Buildings and Regulatory Compliance, said that the issue of the name and logo are not under regulation of the Board of Zoning Appeals or his office, which can only approve or disapprove of the

Volume 82 Issue 6 use of the property. With this duty in mind, “It’s much better to have a vibrant building than a vacant building, regardless of the name,” Jamison said.

Jamison, who was at Jugs and Mugs on the bar’s opening night, said “I think that Dave Cardona has a very good reputation and I expect that he will make sure to keep that well-maintained.” Cardona is a native of the Capital Region.

Though members of the Board of Zoning Appeals, “expressed their disappointment about the name,” the board supported the use and approved the permits, Jamison said.

Members of the public also made it a point to express their disappointment to the Board of Zoning appeals.

Nan Thomas, a Pine Hills resident for the past three years, said “I thought the name was kind of demeaning alongside the logo.”

Like others, she interpreted the art as “evidence that they weren’t talking about mason jars in terms of the jugs they were referring to.” Unhappy with this image representing her community, she referred to it as tasteless and “something that appeals to a lower level of the social strata.”

Not alone in her thinking, Thomas said she was told by a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals that there were many letters and emails sent to the board expressing their concern.

In addition to writing an email of her own, Thomas went a step further and attended the meeting where the proposal was put forth and spoke out against Jugs and Mugs, with their suggestive name and logo, coming to the neighborhood.

“It’s really a matter of wanting the neighborhood to create a good image of itself to the larger community,” Thomas said.

“We can do better than that,” Thomas said. “I think we have legitimacy, we want a nice establishment.”

In favor of a restaurant or another establishment in place of the formerly vacant space, Thomas said that Jugs and Mugs could be that nice establishment and appeal to a wider audience of poten-

News tial customers, if it weren’t promoting “to a less mature crowd.”

Thomas sensed that Jugs and Mugs are catering to a younger demographic, particularly college students.

Aware of Cardona’s thought process regarding why he didn’t change the business name, as he explained it at the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting, Thomas said she wishes Cardona would have respected the neighbors.

“That would have gone far.”

“It would have been nice had he listened to us, and changed the logo, so it’s not so suggestive,” Thomas said.

Although Cardona stuck with the name and logo that he knew had created some neighborhood upset, “I hope everybody comes in and gives us a shot,” Cardona said.

Keeping an open mind, “I’m not at all one to carry a grudge,” Thomas said, “I will definitely check it out.”

The Chronicle Though she isn’t thrilled about the name and logo in her neighborhood, calling it a poor combination, “It’s really not so blatantly offensive,” Thomas said. With big-name chains like Hooters, she noted that “This isn’t a first time situation,” although it certainly is for the Pine Hills neighborhood.

One University at Albany student, Olivia Fuller, said that she and her friends stumbled upon opening night at Jugs and Mugs while out celebrating two of her friend’s 21st birthdays.

“We weren’t exactly sure what we were getting ourselves into,” Fuller said. “One friend’s immediate impression was that it was going to be some sort of Hooters or something, thinking that jugs meant something other than growlers. The girl on the logo has an emphasized cleavage and mischievous smile,” she said.

Once Fuller and her party stepped inside, “We figured out that it wasn’t that type of place,

but the air of mystery certainly drew us in,” she said. “After taking advantage of the $2 Coronas, the gentleman there came to our table to give the birthday boy and girl each their own free jug. It was a pretty nice way to end our night.”

Despite negative accusations, Cardona plans to run a “good, clean, safe place for people to come and enjoy great food, great sports events on TV,” and most importantly, “big huge jugs and big huge mugs of beer.”

Aside from Saturday brunch beginning at 8 a.m., Jugs and Mugs opens at 11 a.m. daily, closing at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, and 2 a.m. on the weekends. The restaurant’s telephone number is 621-7031.

“This was a very big story for us, an unusually big story.

Burglaries are not a big story, happens quite often for a local staff.”

Harry Rosenfeld at large, consultant and an editorial board member for the Times Union. He also is the former Metro editor of the Washington Post.

During Rosenfeld’s time at the Washington Post in the 1970’s,

he managed reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who would eventually break the Watergate scandal during the Nixon Administration. Rosenfeld will be speaking at Saint Rose on Sept. 30.

Rosenfeld visited The College recently and sat down with The Chronicle before his scheduled lecture on September 30. Watergate to this date remains one of the most historical political scandals in United States History.

In 1972, five men were arrested for burglary and attempting to bug the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Hotel and office complex.

At the time, Rosenfeld was the Metro editor for the Washington Post. When this story first broke, Rosenfeld said during an interview with The Chronicle that “This was a very big story for us, an unusually big story. Burglaries are not a big story, happens quite often for a local staff. A bur-

no idea this would lead to the White House…”

Watergate was not the only reason why Rosenthal decided to write his memoir. As an immigrant from Nazi Germany, he wants his family to know their history. “A memoir is a remembrance and I was bringing to mind all these memories in my life: many of them profoundly sad, many of them inspirational, many of them of accomplishments and of failure, it’s a story of a life, of an immigrant, America is a story of immigrants, I thought it was a story that needed to be told,” said Rosenthal, during the interview with The Chronicle.

Rosenfeld is visiting Saint Rose as part of the partnership that Saint Rose has with the Hearst Corporation, which owns the Times Union. Students, faculty, and staff will gain a lot of benefit by attending this event. “This is a wonderful opportunity to meet someone whose personal history and career have coincided with major events that are receding too quickly into distant memory or are merely topics in textbooks.

As a witness to those events, Harry offers personal recollections and observations that bring them to life and explain their enduring importance,” said Joann Crupi in an email to The Chronicle. Crupi is the Hearst Corporation Communications Professional in Residence at Saint Rose.

“Rosenfeld’s insight as someone who was reporting on Watergate is fantastic for anyone, especially in the media industry to have because we have, as a society, dealt with a couple of great examples of leaking information: Wiki Leaks and with Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning.

You always hear about these

events and how they compare to Watergate,” said senior Communications student Blaise Bryant .

The future of journalism is ever changing with the advancement of technology. When asked during the interview if journalism has a place in the future, Rosenfeld said, “I would regret more, the whole processes of exceptional journalism, being thrown away and saying it’s irrelevant, all we have to do is write what we think,

“This is a wonderful opportunity to meet someone whose personal history and career have coincided with major events that are receding too quickly into distant memory or are merely topics in textbooks.”

Joann Crupi what we believe, what we want to happen and that’s sufficient, that will sway public opinion, sway politicians that will implement policies. That is not my belief; my belief is based on informing the public, giving them as much as you can of the facts, and letting them decide for themselves, that is what democracy is.”

“An Evening with Harry Rosenfeld” will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Carl E. Touhey Forum in the Lally School of Education.

Continuing off BOATS 1, Me Time starts off with “Fork” and it’s a great start to the album.

The album only gets better with cuts such as the “Juvenile,” influenced “Used 2,” “Extra” with Rich Homie Quan, and “Feds Watching,” which I hated at first but it’s really grown on me. The thing I surprisingly appreciate the most about this album is 2 Chainz’ growth. The album sounds sharper than his debut.

There are still a lot of Trap hits that Chainz is known for, but there are also a lot of soulful tracks which kind of reminded me of some of his older mixtapes, which in my opinion were better than his debut. Overall, I was impressed with 2 Chainz’ sophomore effort and I can fully say I’m excited for BOATS 3 if/when it ever drops.

Rating: 8/10 Key! – Fathers Are The Curse – Atlanta rapper Key, formerly

of the Two-9 collective, dropped his newest collection of music in Fathers Are The Curse. Out of all of the members of Two-9, I always found Key to be pretty strong in terms of charisma and style that he had in the group so I was awaiting this project heavily. I was a bit disappointed with the tape.

He included a lot of songs that were previously heard mainly on an EP he dropped back in March.

The new songs are okay but there is nothing other than “Guess Who” that really engages the listener to Key’s music.

The excessive auto tune was a turn off for me as well. Hopefully Key can bounce back.

The Zombies, for those who don’t know, have been associated with acts such as World’s Fair, A$AP, the underachievers, and Pro Era for igniting a renaissance in the rap scene of New York and with good reason. Better off Dead is New York. From the beats to the lyrics, everything about this tape reminds me of the Empire State.

Eric Ark Elliot handles most production here and the beats are more layered around this time which shows his growth as well.

I’d tell you the best songs on this project but the truth is the whole thing is great. I literally didn’t hear one song that I didn’t like (although “Palm Trees” is just a little too long).

But if you need to hear one off of Better Off Dead, it should be “Club Soda,” which includes a menacing verse from Action Bronson. The Zombies prove with Better Off Dead that they aren’t just a fad. The Zombies are indeed well and alive.

Legendary Agriculture: Farm Aid 2013

By CHRIS SURPRENANT Managing Editor On a sunny Saturday afternoon in Saratoga, a myriad of people gathered at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) for the 28th annual Farm Aid benefit concert.

Originally organized by Willie Nelson, he wrangled together some other famous friends who are now board members, including Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews. The festival promotes the virtues of the small family farm and the positive impact agriculture can have on the ever-changing environment.

Lining the trails of SPAC, families, couples, teenagers, the elderly, and everyone under the sun came out for an afternoon of music that supported, quite literally, a grass-roots cause.

“We like to support local farmers with the food we buy. With great music, all the better,” said concert attendee Jeremy Zhe. He and his wife came out with their newborn to support a great cause, and, not surprisingly, see Dave Matthews, a perennial favorite with the millennial generation.

While the music was a draw for many people, education and information were at the top of the list of priorities not only for those directly involved with Nelson and company, but the numerous volunteers and festival-goers.

Becky Purcell, a dietician and professor at Quinnipiac University, came out not only to bring back some useful information on healthy and responsible food habits, but also to show her children that there are other healthy, more local options for food.

Social responsibility and sustainability were at the forefront of the conversation of the festival’s many patrons, as well as the performers who spear-headed the entire project.

Nelson reiterated throughout the day the value of the American farmer. Addressing a packed

and enthusiastic crowd, Nelson said to the many farmers present, “You’re very important to our country. You’re necessary to our survival.”

Saturday’s legend-laden event did not, however, focus solely on what the power of celebrity could do for the cause. One of many local farmers, Chuck Curtiss, spoke to the integrity of the profession.

“I was born into this and unemployable anywhere else. It’s the gratification of what you can do for yourself every day.”

Artist John Mellencamp reinforced this as often as he could.

To the audience, he posed the question, “What would we do if we lose small farms? L.A. and big cities like that are great, but they’re not what make this country work.”

Neil Young, the “Heart of Gold” singer, wanted to emphasize that the festival is not solely about helping out the farmer in need.

“Farmers are at the front line of climate change in the 21st century. We need to understand that they are the ones who see it first. They are our first line of defense,” Young said. “Go back to God, earth, sun, and water.”

The back-to-basics philosophy adopted by many supporters was also shared by vendors and visiting agricultural organizations.

Of the many groups out distributing information, the Agricultural Stewardship Association (A.S.A.) encompassed the overarching theme of Farm Aid. According to their data, the Capital District has lost over 60 percent of its farmland from 1954 to 2007. That translates to roughly 800,000 acres. The A.S.A. seeks to preserve existing farmland to forever be used for the purpose of agriculture.

One of Farm Aid’s “Farmer Heroes,” Kevin Jablonski, stressed the importance of getting the word out about agricultural education. “I think it’s fantastic,” he said regarding Farm Aid. “We

Casey and Kelly Holzworth, owners of a small farm in Greenfield grow vegetables and hops. need more media attention for buying local and how buying local will keep money in individual counties, as well as in the state.”

Creating a focus on buying local and regional foods is not something to be done only by larger watchdog groups. Ruth Katz of the Northeast Region’s Food and Farm Network stressed the idea that even college students can do their part to help the farmer by taking part in the Real Food Challenge. Through this initiative, students rally to get local and regional foods brought to their college’s dining program.

Even on the micro level, the impact of local farmers is significant. Casey and Kelly Holzworth own a small farm in Greenfield, NY where they grow a multitude of small vegetables and most recently, hops. It is small enough to provide sustenance for the two of them and does not require a tractor, allowing for denser crops, which is ultimately more envi-

ronmentally friendly.

Holzworth has taken farming a step further, bringing the farmer’s market into the 21st century. She is a coordinator of the online resource FarmieMarket.com, a site that allows visitors to place orders that are filled by local farmers.

The festival views consumers not only as customers, but as partners in a push for change regarding the states of so-called “factory-farms.” Many in attendance sported t-shirts intending to make bold statements both about the farming industry and the environment. The most popular proved to be a simple white shirt with the word “Farmer” prominently displayed accompanied by a man karate-kicking a donkey. In other words, “Farmers kick ass.”

Indeed, such was the theme of the day. No matter a person’s political party or personal beliefs, those at Saturday’s festival all agreed in support of the American

farmer, aware of the necessity of change in the industry and education about its impact.

With several performances throughout the day, including a rare surprise performance by the legendary Pete Seeger singing “This Land is Your Land,” the crowd remained enthused and upbeat. Even with so many musical legends in one place, the message remained clear that the farming system must be improved in order to remain an essential part of the American identity.

For Young, the key to bettering such an important industry is to work together, despite differences in approach.

“We’re both right. There must be a change in method. Make it sustainable. Make it clean. Farmers are the solution.”

“Sleepy Hollow” Scores by Scrapping Source Material

By ANDY GILCHRIST Staff Writer As a piece in last week’s issue of The Chronicle highlighted, Hollywood seems to have run out of ideas. For every original film or television series that is produced, there are a dozen adaptations, sequels, prequels, or remakes being churned out. While many groan over this lack of creativity, it can occasionally give us something great.

Films like the Lord of the Rings and Dark Knight trilogies and television series like Hannibal and Justified are all adaptations.

Last week, the Fox network debuted their newest series, Sleepy Hollow, and it is the latest adaptation to hit screens. Will it give fans another reason to roll their eyes at Hollywood, or is this a show that actually deserves your attention?

The show opens in local Hudson, New York during the American Revolution. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), an American soldier, duels a masked redcoat swinging an axe and beheads him, but is struck down in the process.

Flash forward to the present day and Crane suddenly awakens in a cave. He walks out of the cave and into a patch of fog, where he is almost run down by a truck; he is literally attacked by the future. Barely surviving his first encounter with the new millennium, Crane stumbles into the small town of Sleepy Hollow.

Across town, Lieutenant Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) is preparing to leave town for a spot at the FBI training academy in Quantico, Virginia. On her final patrol, an also-resurrected Headless Horseman beheads the town’s sheriff and rides off into the night. Reporting only that a man dressed in very old clothing is responsible, a dazed and confused Crane is promptly arrested.

While Police Captain Frank Irving (Orlando Jones) wants Crane locked away, convinced he is insane, Abbie realizes that

Crane is the only chance she has of solving the sheriff’s murder.

While the two investigate, they discover that Crane’s wife was a witch and is currently trapped in Hell, that the sheriff had compiled a dossier of strange activity within the town during his tenure that filled an entire filing cabinet, and that the Headless Horseman is actually Death, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse. It seems the resurrections of both Crane and the Horseman have signaled the restart of an ancient war between the forces of good and evil and only Crane and Abbie stand in the way of the end of the world.

There have been numerous adaptations of Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” since it was published in 1820. Perhaps the best known versions are the 1949 Disney cartoon, narrated by Bing Crosby, and Tim Burton’s 1999 film Sleepy Hollow, starring Johnny Depp as Crane.

What makes this version so unique is that it’s barely an adaptation at all. In the original story, Crane is a meek schoolteacher who is run out of town by the horseman, being much too afraid to face him. In the TV series, Crane is a brave soldier who is facing off against the horseman under secret orders from George Washington. Quite frankly, if the setting and main character’s name were different, it would be the exact same show. This series is so different from the story it’s adapting, it’s actually confusing that the producers chose to lift so few elements from the story.

Perhaps they were hoping name recognition would attract more viewers?

The show comes to us from Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the Transformers and Star Trek movies and the past Fox TV show Fringe, and Len Wiseman, director of such blockbusters as

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Tom Mison stars as the time displaced Ichabod Crane.

Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard, and 2012’s Total Recall (another remake!). With such an action-heavy background, it’s no surprise that the psychological terror of the short story has been pushed away by over-the-top action. The first episode opens with a huge battle, with Crane and the pre-Headless Horseman fighting in the center of it all. The pilot ends with a gunfight between Abbie, Crane, and the Horseman, which allows the producers to show the Horseman annihilating people with an AK-47. If future episodes focus more on the action than the story, this show could be in trouble.

And yet, the show is very entertaining. All of the actors bring their A-game, especially Tom Mison as Crane, believably portraying a man in an extreme fishout-water/man-out-of-time situation. Though the series has the usual “why is there a Starbucks on every corner?” line, it also deals

with Crane and Abbie’s differences intelligently. In one of their first conversations, Crane asks if Abbie, a black woman, has been emancipated, since he comes from a time when slavery was the norm. By erasing the original characterization of Crane, the series allows him to be a strong, heroic leading man, equally capable to keeping up with his police officer partner, whereas a nervous schoolteacher could not.

Time jumps, witches and demons, files filled with paranormal activity, the end of the world.

Sleepy Hollow throws a lot at the wall in its debut, hoping all of the pieces will somehow come together by the end of its freshman season. Though many shows would falter under the introduction of so many elements and hints of a deep mythology, this series seems to have the talent and determination to pull it off and become a complex and entertaining show that lasts for years.

Netflix Diving: The Dresden Files

By ALEX PECHA Staff Writer The strangest things can be found on Netflix. Staff Writer Alex Pecha takes a look at some of the more unusal finds.

The Dresden Files is, in case you are not aware, a rather well known fantasy-mystery book series starring a noir-style detective/wizard named Harry Dresden. The book series is up to about 12 books (not including the side short stories) and has been well-received.

With such a well-received book series, it was probably inevitable that it got a TV or movie adaptation, and true to form, it did. Haven’t heard of the TV series before? Neither had I until it showed up on my Netflix suggestions. Apparently, The Dresden Files had a one season run on SyFy (Back when it was still Sci Fi) in 2007. Well why did it only get one season? Did it suck? Was it just poorly viewed? Let’s take a look.

The first thing that anyone should consider while watching the Dresden Files TV show is that it is not a direct adaptation of the book series. Certain ideas, characters and settings have either been streamlined/altered for television, or removed completely. If you’re a diehard fan of the books this is potentially a deal breaker, but if you’re willing to look past the omissions, the show actually has a charm of its own.

Like the books, the TV show stars a “Wizard for hire” named Harry Dresden. Dresden is not the party type wizard. However, he actually can use magic to solve “problems” for anyone who can pay (though in the show, he often winds up not charging anyone anything). Harry is often hired by the local Chicago PD to take a look at “odd” cases by Lieutenant Murphy, his sort of friend, sort of colleague. Due to Dresden helping Murphy with her cases, he

is often dragged into paranormal conspiracies and crimes which he tries his hardest to hide from Murphy for her own good.

Dresden isn’t on his own though- he has the spirit of an ancient wizard who’s bound to a skull named Bob to help him, as well as a local wizard who acts like a paranormal cop named Morgan. Although more often than not, Dresden and Morgan are at odds, to put it lightly.

There are other reoccurring characters, such as the vampire brothel owner Bianca (played

by Warehouse 13 star Joanne Kelly) and antagonistic Detective Sid Kirmani (played by Raoul Bhaneja). There are more but I won’t spoil all of them for you.

The setting is a well thought out alternative to the books, if a bit more homogenized to fit what we expect of the “Secret world of Magic” idea. Magic is split into black magic and basically everything else, the difference being that black magic is sort of like the dark side from Star Wars on crack. It makes you evil, literally eats your insides, and is always tempting to magic users to use.

This evil magic is fought by the “High Council,” which acts as the governing body of magic; though the show quickly shows that just because they aren’t exactly your normal “good guys”. Instead of walking around in robes with a giant staff with ancient writing on it, wizards often hide in plain sight by using inconspicuous objects as magical weapons or shields, though the effectiveness of this varies from wizard to wizard. For example, Dresden wears a long jacket atop normal clothes and carries a hockey stick and a drum stick to use as his staff and wand, respectively.

The plots themselves range from “excellent” to “foreseeable.” Some of the episodes are genuinely well written mysteries that will keep you guessing as to what’s going on, while others you will be able to guess the

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Paul Blackthorne played Harry Dresden in the aborted television show. ending a mile away. Though for the most part, the episodes keep their heads above water and keep the viewer interested, making the overall writing of the series good.

There is a bit of a jarring shift about halfway through the series, with one particular episode. Before the TV show was officially commissioned, a shortened movie version of the first Dresden book, Stormfront, was made for TV. Instead of forgetting that the whole thing existed, the creators of the show made the baffling decision to cut it down and slap it in the middle of the series. This particular episode doesn’t have Bob, changes Dresden and Bianca’s relationship by almost 90 degrees, and is made overall darker to be more in line with the books; the end result being an episode that looks, sounds and feels rushed and out of sync with the rest of the series. It’s probably best to skip this episode altogether, as it doesn’t tie into the rest of the season at all and is just sort of there.

The show’s characters are de-

cently written for the most part, though it seems like the always skeptic cop Sid is just there to say “Pah, magic” whenever something weird happens. That said, the entire ensemble is well acted; everyone feels like they were casted right for their roles. This is especially true of Paul Blackthorne as Dresden, who plays the “goofy wizard” part extremely well; Though Terrence Mann as “Bob” deserves special mention for his stellar performance as a deadpan dead guy in a skull, which is much more complimenting than it sounds.

While they are well written and excellently acted, Murphy and Dresden don’t really bring a whole lot different to the mystery TV series genre, filling their “awkward buddy cop” roles to a T. That’s not to say that makes the show worse for it, it just makes it not wholly different than other existing cop shows out there.

That might very well be why the series didn’t get off its (admittedly well built) feet, besides

having wizards as characters it doesn’t really add a whole lot that other TV series haven’t done yet.

It also walks an odd line of being part buddy cop show and fantasy show, which is a nice place to be but means it has to compare itself both with shows like Law and Order as well as Buffy (That’s still a relevant comparison to make, right?). At this, it doesn’t fully live up to what it had to be to survive.

All that said however, The Dresden Files is a very neat little series that got shot down sadly before it could make a true identity for itself. This is a shame, because you could see where the creators were setting up for further seasons.

If you have a rather easy week and a Netflix account look it up, its 12 episodes (11 if you skip Stormfront like I suggest you do) so it can be finished in about a week. It has good mysteries, good characters and a great setting; and what more can you really ask for?

Dead Bodies and Finger Prints: Viewer’s Fascinations with Television Crime Shows

By KATIE KLIMACHEK Staff Writer If you are flipping through the channels during a usual weekday any time after 4 p.m., chances are you will see a number of different crime shows. And chances are, you turned to the show right when a local farmer is feeding his cows and finds the mutilated remains of a local teen that went missing months ago.

“We all want to be the hero in life. We all want to make a difference and be the ones that solve the yearlong mysteries, and with these shows it really allows us to be a part of that sensation.”

Over the past years, crime based television shows have been a popular favorite among viewers and television stations. From CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) to Criminal Minds and Law & Order, viewers tune in to see serial killers, mobsters, pedophiles, and rapists terrorize those around them only to be caught and defeated by those in law enforcement. These shows depict such gruesome and horrible crimes and it seems as though we just can’t get enough of them. So why do we sit down in front of the TV for an hour every week and watch cops and agents hunt down and catch deviant criminals?

With any show on TV, we are put onto a different path of life and taken to a different place of thought. They are made to allow

us to step out of ourselves and live through someone or something different that we wouldn’t normally be able to. So when we watch shows about murders and the “Good Guys” that take them down, we feel like we were a part of it.

Crime shows play on our fear and allow us to explore what it would be like to commit the crime. It takes us on a journey that we would (hopefully) never travel down.

We hear in the news about these types of people and we can only imagine what it is like to commit the acts of deviant behavior that they do. But when we watch a seemingly innocent looking man lure a college co-ed into his car, we get another feel for not only the victim, but the perpetrator as well. With many of these shows, it also gives us the chance to see why the predator does what he does.

“I like mysteries and I feel like I am in the show with the characters solving the cases,” says Cassidy O’Connor, an avid fan of numerous crime shows. “I like things that can be realistic. The shows give you knowledge of the law, not sure how accurate it is, but it makes you aware of what is out there.”

In general, we all want to be the hero in life. We all want to make a difference and be the ones that solve the yearlong mysteries, and with these shows it really allows us to be a part of that sensation. We are able to vicariously live through the characters that play the detectives and the cops that get to take down the psychopaths in the world.

Kimberly Lugo, a student at St. Rose, says that she likes to watch crime shows because “you feel like you are a part of the show and you get an understanding how they [cops] did it.”

Lugo watches an assortment of

the crime shows currently on the air from Criminal Minds to Law & Order. “Its interesting to see the different type of people in this world.”

That’s another reason why so many have a knack for the show.

You get to see what type of people live in the world and it opens you up to things you have never seen before.

Unfortunately, not everyone lives in the white picket fence neighborhoods and are able to send their children to a nice school. With many of these shows, they show us a different world within our own. Most of the bad guys depicted are those from shattered backgrounds, many who didn’t go to school and never got to have a brand new pair of sneakers. By having that in the show, it makes the viewer more aware of what is around them. So in a sense, it also allows the audience to have a little sympathy for the criminal and just have some kind of an understanding to what lead them to their life style.

To a certain degree, it makes us more conscious of what types of crimes are being committed.

When you watch a show about a man who broke into a family home and kidnapped one of the children inside, it makes you just a little more mindful of making sure all your windows and doors are locked, and you might keep that extra can of pepper spray in your night stand drawer.

Even though it might be terrifying to watch a disfigured body being found, viewers just can’t seem to look away from it.

It’s like a sign that says “Don’t Look,” but we look anyway and because of that it’s like our guilty pleasure.

So until we decide to listen to the sign and stop looking, crime shows are going to keep on turning up like dead bodies on CSI.

The End: My Five Favorite Film Endings

By RACHEL M.BOLTON Arts Editor The ending of any film is important, because it is the last thing that a viewer sees. But certain endings are more powerful than others. Here is a list of five closing shots that I think stand a head above the rest, hopefully without spoiling it.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)- Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, the prequel trilogy will never be as good as the original, but I will defend the ending of this film. It does a good job of making and setting up future plot lines.

The heroes have won the battle, but a war has started. Yoda promises that events are going to become worse, and “the Imperial March” plays over the clone troopers being deployed. Anakin and Padme get hitched, but we as the audience know that this trilogy is not going to end happily and this ending foreshadows it well.

Memento (2000)- Unlike the other films on this list, Memento is the only one where the ending is the middle of the story. The movie is told in two separate sections, the beginning and the end.

The two threads move in their respective directions until they meet in the middle. What I love about this ending is that it gives you the answer you have been looking for while letting viewers realize that they already know what comes of this revelation.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)- First part of Quentin Tarantino’s revenge drama is full of blood and rage on the part of the heroine.

What makes the story so brilliant is that the audience is tricked into believing that that is all the tale

is meant to be. However, Bill’s announcement at the last second changes the nature of the films completely.

We are no longer watching a one dimensional story. The Bride’s goals are now at odds with reality. I bet you did not think there would be any pathos in here.

Downton Abbey Season One (2010)- I lied, there is one television show on here, but the final seconds of Downton Abbey’s first season is my favorite moment of the entire show. The first season is filled with interpersonal conflict wrapped in Edwardian Era morals.

The characters believe that they live in a privileged time, but the audience knows that they are witnessing the end of an age.

World War One is announced in the season finale, and the world of the Downton is never the same again.

The Man Who Would Be King (1975)- An old school adventure movie with Michael Caine and Sean Connery? Awesome! How about one that shows how “The White Man’s Burden” really isn’t such a good idea after all.

The two main characters, Danny and Peachy, are former officers of the British Raj trying to make their fortune by conquering the (Fictional) land of Kafiristan.

Well, as the opening of the film explains, this did not go as expected.

As Peachy relates their story to Rudyard Kipling, he brings back evidence that their experiences were true. But what is that evidence? Well you will have to see it for the full effect.

C16 Opinion Crowning of New Miss America Defines America The Chronicle

By KATHERINE BAKAITIS Staff Writer Nina Davuluri has been crowned the new Miss America, and she’s a New Yorker!

Unfortunately, a number of people throughout the rest of the country don’t share the same elation as I do. Not because their state didn’t win, but because the new Miss America is of Indian heritage. Okay, I didn’t actually watch the event on television (who does?), so the first thing I heard about it was on the Internet. Instead of jumping with joy for the newly crowned Miss America, people made it a task to cry out in horror over her being Indian-American.

Basically, Twitter just blew itself up with tweets, such as: “And the Arab wins Miss America.

Classic,” and “Miss New York is an Indian... With all due respect, this is America.” It doesn’t stop there; other people were offended that she was crowned Miss America so close to the anniversary of 9/11: “@ABC2020 nice slap in the face to the people of 9-11 how pathetic #missamerica”. People also linked her to al-Qaeda“Congratulations Al-Qaeda. Our Miss America is one of you,” and “More like Miss Terrorist.”

Other people were just plain racist: “Miss America is brought to you by their sponsors PF Changs and 7-11,” and “Miss America, foot long buffalo chicken on whole wheat. Please and thank you.” To the Twitter ranters, all I have to say to you is this: I am deeply sorry for the loss of your brain cells; you must have killed off a ton of them when you posted that ugly tweet.

Nina seemed to brush all of the hostility aside in her first news conference after winning the crown. “I’m so happy this organization has embraced diversity,” she said, according to AP. “I’m thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America.” As for the negativity, she said, “I have to

Davuluri is the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America. rise above that. I always viewed myself as first and foremost American.”

There was naturally another contestant in the running, a woman who some might say is more “qualified” to be Miss America.

I’m of course talking about the adored Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail. Miss Kansas is only the second woman from the armed forces to compete in the pageant, she’s the first contestant to bare her tattoos, she’s an expert marksman on the M16 rifle, and she wears lots of camo. Miss Kansas is basically the stereotype of small town middle America, but if people actually got out a bit more, they find that America has a broader definition.

Yes, most people would agree that she is the definition of a “true American woman,” but let me tell you something; there is no structured definition of an American. Being an American means to simply be a human being with the heart and drive to make it in the

world. Honestly, you don’t even have to be born in the states!

what that state is about, but the judges obviously saw something bigger in Miss New York. They probably noticed the abundance of diversity she represents in America. Perhaps the judges may have also wanted to show the rest of the world another side of America that’s apart from all the stereotypes of military-obsessed, “bimbos” that the rest of the world might think of us.

Unfortunately with all of the negativity surrounding this event, people don’t even know much about the new Miss America.

First and foremost, she’s from Syracuse, New York and is the second consecutive Miss New York to win the title (she succeeds Mallory Hagan). Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition, which is always really awesome to watch. She loves giving back to children and takes her crown seriously.

One of the causes she supports is in helping sick children, along with children’s hospitals. She’s also quite the scholar. As a student at the University of Michigan, Nina is on the Dean’s List,

a member of the National Honor Society, and a recipient of the Michigan Merit Award. And, if all that wasn’t enough, her career goal is to become a physician after going to medical school.

She definitely knows about hard work.

I think we can all take something meaningful from this horrible display of mass ignorance.

Perhaps it’s an in-depth reasoning of what it means to be an American, maybe you now know how to handle a horrid situation with poise, or you could have even just taken in the fantastic pageant dresses.

With every negative piece of news that you read, take a positive lesson from that event and learn something from it. If everybody did that and applied what they learned, then we probably would have less unfortunate events such as this. Miss New York seems to have done this and look where she is now!

iOS7, Is it Worth the Wait? 13 Dead in DC Naval Yard Shooting:

By VANESSA LANGDON Staff Writer I was never one for updates. I just updated to iOS 6.1 two weeks ago and now there is a whole new monster to contend with. A monster that has a flat look to it with a brightness that is so blinding it makes one think that a fiveyear-old designed the new color scheme. That was my thinking prior to completing the 11 plus hours necessary to complete the update.

The process of updating, which I was dead set against, was more than a hassle enough, to solidify my disdain for the dreaded Apple updates that keep coming out to torture up poor fools who are addicted to the packaging and basically the name. My phone is constantly full with, I’m ashamed to say, selfies and countless Jonas Brothers songs, so I had to figure out how to free up the necessary space for the 3.1 gigabyte update.

After uploading all my photos to my laptop, I was ready to start what I knew would be a long night of fussing with the update.

Freshman Michelle Hopf’s experience was a warning to what I could expect. She was attempting to update for four and a half hours and experienced two errors. Her opinion about the process was one of pure frustration.

“My phone is about to go out the window,” said Hopf.

This was no empty threat that her phone would survive; she was positioned right next to the window of the EAC. But like the majority of other Saint Rose students, everyone was attempting to get the update, which caused a drain of the Wi-Fi, making a slow process even more drawn out.

The update itself was heavily involved with a complete redesign that was hefty, to say the least. The 3.1 gigabytes needed was obviously warranted. The update, according to Apple themselves, includes; “redesigned interface update[ing] the entire system and every built-in app, subtle motion sand animation, elegant

new color palette and refined typography, updated sounds and ringtones.”

In addition to the new look, Apple is now utilizing a very Android control panel that is accessed with a swipe up on the phone. In the control panel, there is easy access to a flashlight, calculator, and the camera. The music player controls, airplane mode, Wi-Fi settings, Bluetooth, do not disturb, and portrait orientation can all be modified from the control panel as well. The down side to the swipe up panel is, that while scrolling in apps, the panel tends to be activated, causing a more limited scrolling field, especially when using an older generation phone than iOS7’s target, the iPhone 5.

The iPhone is now also up to date with Android’s multitasking capabilities. The update now allows with a double tap of the home button to view all open apps as well as a preview of the screen. This change also allows the apps to update in the background. Apple is also trying to keep up with the growing popularity of Instagram with their new camera features, which include new square photo capabilities and filters as well as a swipe through to change to video and panorama.

Like Apple’s attempt to stay competitive with Instagram and Android phones, Apple is trying to break into radio steaming with their development of iTunes radio. iTunes Radio is nice in that, similar to Pandora, you can customize your stations by liking or disliking a song. However, the advantage of iTunes Radio is the capability to add something directly from the radio to your iTunes wish list, eliminating the constant screenshots of songs to look up later.

All in all, once the torture of physically downloading the update was over, it was smooth sailing from there. While the update’s coloring is nauseating at first, with the constant bright white, your eyes will adjust. It’s just nice to have a phone that

What’s Next for US Gun Laws?

By KAYLYNN DAY Contributing Writer In the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 17, a gunman entered a Washington, D.C. Naval Yard and opened fire on unsuspecting victims. Gunman Aaron Alexis was employed by a Navy contractor as a computer technician. Police believe Alexis was able to gain entry onto the site because he passed a security checkpoint by using his contractor identification card.

After bypassing security, investigators believe the gunman assembled his weapon in a men’s bathroom stall before opening fire in the Naval Yard’s atrium.

The first 911 calls came in around 8:15 a.m., with reports of a gunman on the Naval Yard property.

It has been confirmed by the U.S. Navy that three shots had been fired by 8:20 am. Aaron Alexis was able to senselessly kill victims before police ended his life after a 30 minute shootout between the two parties. The death total from the incident reached 13 people, including the gunman himself.

In the wake of multiple massacres involving guns, such as the Columbine High School shooting, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, and the flood of weapons in the streets of our country at an all time high, it is a concern for many Americans as to what seems brand new with a Siri that can actually understand you.

So, update, preferably overnight when you have eight hours you can spare and wake up to a brand new phone that will keep you unproductive for a solid day as you figure out how to maneuver the latest of Apples genius ideas that just keep pushing consumers like poor college kids to buy bigger and bigger memory phones to accommodate the memory necessary to keep ‘updated.’

this gun epidemic will bring next.

The use of both legal and illegal weapons is taking a toll on our society as a whole, and it is up to the Obama Administration as well as Congress to come together and resolve the matter.

Back in August, the Obama Administration announced plans to control the flow of guns into the country. One of the plans was to decrease the importation of military surplus weapons, an

“I agree that the government needs to make new gun laws pertaining to citizens obtaining legal firearms, but the use of illegal weapons needs much more attention. ” Kaylynn Day action that would indefinitely cause a backlash from gun enthusiasts. The second plan from the Obama Administration to control guns is to keep those who cannot pass required background checks when obtaining a weapon from registering the weapon to another source, such as a company or corporation. Ideas of a fingerprint database to perform background checks on potential firearm purchasers are also being taken into consideration.

These potentially life-changing plans come along with a refusal from members of Congress to pass any new gun laws. Congress and the Obama Administration need to put their differences aside and create a solution that has not

only both of their best interest at heart, but the interest of U.S. citizens as well. And although the ideas from the U.S. government could have a major impact on the threat that guns pose to our society, the main issue is still not being tackled.

The use of illegal weapons is a bigger issue than most realize. The stories of tragedies that stem from gun use that make the news everyday mostly involve legally owned weapons. The terrorization that illegal firearms are causing to communities everyday on the other hand, does not make the news as often. I agree that the government needs to make new gun laws pertaining to citizens obtaining legal firearms, but the use of illegal weapons needs much more attention. Everyday people (mostly under the age of 30) are being killed from senseless shootings involving illegally owned guns. The death total is at an all time high and will only continue to rise if something is not done about the issue immediately.

The government’s attempts to rewrite gun laws after mass shootings makes for a prettier news story compared to communities being torn apart over illegal weapons. Either way, the use of weapons is taking a much larger toll on our society than it should be and something needs to be done about it. If the media not only covered large stories such as the shooting at the Naval Yard but the impact weapons has on our society every day as well, the government would have no choice but to face the reality of the situation and do something about the growing issue sooner than later. Pleading eyes and heavy hearts turn to the United States Government in hopes of a solution coming into play before guns take more innocent lives and affect more communities.

Mayweather Effortlessly Takes Down Canelo

By TORI ADDISON Staff Writer I have three words to describe the junior middleweight world title fight that went down Saturday, September 14; Floyd “Money” Mayweather. This guy is simply unstoppable. Mayweather is 36 years old and held a record of 44-0-0 prior to the fight. His opponent, Saúl Álvarez, known as “Canelo” in the boxing world, is thirteen years younger than Mayweather. Canelo went into the fight with a record of 43-0-1. In short, Canelo had one less win than Mayweather and is almost half his age. I would say that’s pretty impressive.

Don’t get me wrong, I was rooting for Mayweather, but the way he handled himself before the match secretly had me

thinking otherwise. Compared to Canelo, he looked far from composed. Mayweather was chewing his gum at about fifty smacks per minute while staring down Canelo; a sure sign of nervousness in my opinion. Canelo, on the other hand, looked like he was going to go straight into the ring and destroy Mayweather. My other problem was who Mayweather decided to have escort him into the arena. I already knew that Lil’ Wayne was expected to walk alongside Mayweather during his entrance, but that wasn’t my issue. It was when I saw Justin Beiber to his right that I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously when you have a nineteen year old insurgent walking beside you into one of the biggest matches of your career? At

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Floyd Mayweather took down Canelo Alvarez with relative ease.

WIKIMEDIA COMONS

Alvarez was thought to have a good chance against Mayweather.

this point, I just wanted the fight to get started so Canelo could do his thing and Mayweather’s ego could finally take a hit.

Now I’m not going to lie, I was a little disappointed by this fight in general. It wasn’t that it was boring, it was just typical.

After waiting for a table for two and a half hours in a packed Dave and Buster’s, I was expecting a monstrous knock-out to end the match. Not to my liking, it went for all twelve rounds. Mayweather was too quick for Canelo, who missed more shots than he actually made. I have to give it to Canelo though; when he did

land a punch on Mayweather, it was powerful enough to have an impact. It’s not that Mayweather physically beat Canelo, it’s that he out danced him. At one point, Canelo missed so badly that Mayweather mocked him mid-round.

As the match progressed, Canelo’s facial expression turned from stone to frustration. Mayweather knew that he was going to win as soon as round one started and boy, was he right. The match results were left in the hand of three judges after the twelfth round ended. Two of the three judges declared Mayweather victorious while the last voted for a draw,

which, as you can imagine, had Mayweather fuming.

Overall, I do not think Canelo was ready to face Mayweather.

Canelo looked lost during the fight, as he was unable to keep up with Mayweather’s footwork and pace. If anything, the match set forth Mayweather’s lasting ranks. He is the best boxer of his time and when said and done he will go down as one of the best in history. Hopefully, we will be watching Mayweather take on Manny Pacquiáo in the near future, but until then, Mayweather will continue to soak in the glory of his undefeated streak.

NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

By TARIQ KENDALL Staff Writer Statistics as of 9/21/2013 1) Peyton Manning – When you think of the ideal fantasy football player, you think of someone who puts up big numbers on a consistent basis. If there’s one man in the NFL whodoes that, it’s Peyton Manning.

In his first two games of the season, Manning has accumulated nine touchdown passes and 769 yards through the air. Oh, and he hasn’t turned the ball over yet this year. Manning has been the perfect fantasy player thus far and I don’t see him slowing up.

2) Aaron Rodgers – Pulling into second on this week’s fantasy rankings is Aaron Rodgers.

With a 480 yard performance last week against the Redskins, Rodgers is behind only Michael Vick in total passing yards. He ranks in the top ten in every pass-

ing stat, and according to ESPN. com, has racked up the second most points in 90 percent of their fantasy leagues (second to Manning, of course). Rodgers has to navigate the Bengals pass defense week three and so far this season they’ve been nothing more than average (giving up 238 yards per game) and average won’t be enough to halt Rodgers.

3) Drew Brees – No stranger to these kind of lists, Brees will do what he’s done the past two games of this 2013 season; 300 plus years at least 1 touchdown and a boat load of fantasy points for you. The Cards’ are in the back half of the league in pass defense and if you didn’t already know this, Brees makes his money playing against defense like that. Simply put, Brees is going to have another great day.

4) Calvin Johnson – Just when it appeared Megatron had met his match in Patrick Peterson, he pulled through for 116 yards

Peyton Manning has been consistenly putting up good numbers.

on sixreceptions. The 6 foot 5 android doesn’t seem to have any problem with the big tests, which gives me no reason to think he won’t be anything less than great against a Redskins defense that could be described as awful at best. I see another big game for Johnson against the Redskins, and a great Sunday for those of you who were able to grab him.

5) Marshawn Lynch – After contributing 12 of his teams 29 points in the Seahawks beatdown of 49ers, Marshawn Lynch looks to just be getting started. This week he’ll be looking to get his first 100 yard game of the season and he’ll be looking to do it against the worst run defense in league in the form of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Baring any injury, Lynch will get those 100 yards and more. This week will be a big one for the seven year vet.

6) Doug Martin – Who? Yes, Doug Martin. Tampa’s first round draft pick in 2012 showed his worth last week leading all rushers with resounding 144 yards on the ground. Martin’s next game is against the Pats, who managed a 2-0 start with a rush defense that gives up, on average, 132 yards a game. The Boise State alumni will be looking to repeat last week’s monster performance, and unless the Pats barricade him in the locker room, he probably will.

7) A.J Green – Okay, so last week was tough for A.J; six receptions for 41 yards and no touchdowns. However, this week appears to be looking up for Mr. Green. The Bengals this week will be going against the Packers and while they will lose, the Packers’ defense won’t be the reason. The Packers, who are ranked dead last in passing yards allowed, have failed to hold their opponents leading receiver to less than 178 yards. This is great news for Green, who will have a solid game against Packers.

8) Adrian Peterson – This is a weird spot for last year’s MVP. But while I don’t doubt he’ll

have a good game, compared to the others on this list, it won’t be anything huge. You’ve got three guys in Manning, Rodgers, and Brees who flat out put up better numbers than Peterson. You look at Johnson, Lynch, Martin, and Green and see their numbers above AP’s in the first two weeks and also have much easier opponents than Peterson. Obviously, the Browns aren’t going to have a great day against the Viks, but their revamped defense is fourth in the league at stopping the run.

Despite the fact that the Browns front office has completely given up on their season, the Browns defense won’t and will hold AP to human numbers.

9) Matthew Stafford – He’s not a big name but he is consis-

tent. Two touchdowns and more than 250 yards passing in each of his pass two games. Stafford will have a field day against the dismal Redskins pass defense and his stats will show that. He’ll be dropping bombs on the Skins’ secondary and Calvin Johnson will be on the receiving end of most of them. It will be a great day for Stafford, the Lions, and the guy who picked a quarterback in the middle of his draft.

10) Jimmy Graham – As mentioned earlier, Drew Brees will be gaining yards by the dozen and one of his main targets is Jimmy Graham. Graham, like last week, will have 10 receptions and a touchdown and will further uphold the gold standard for tight ends in the NFL.

Adrian Peterson has not stacked up to his expectations thus far.

D20 Sports Golden Knights Suffer Setback Against Bentley The Chronicle

By JOSHUA NATOLI Sports Editor After more than doubling their win total from last year, the Golden Knights Men’s Soccer team squandered an opportunity to improve to a 4-2 record for just the second time since the team’s inauguration 32 years ago. The Bentley Falcons sent The College of Saint Rose home disappointed, winning the match 3-2 at Sullivan Field in the Plumeri Sports Complex. The victory was all an effect of Bentley’s offensive attack, which outshot the Golden Knights 10-6.

The two Golden Knights’ goals were registered by senior forward Juan Garzon and freshman midfielder Uros Antic, who also happened to assist on each other’s

scores as well.

On the opposing side, senior midfielder Justin Cirasola, sophomore forward Nicolas Ucros, and freshman midfielder Forrest Scaringe all chipped in goals to carry Bentley to their first victory in four contests.

Bentley struck first in the 29th minute when Cirasola knocked in a close-range goal to bring the score to 1-0, which carried all the way to intermission.

Antic netted his goal four minutes into the second period after Garzon sent a cross his way from the right side to bring the score to a 1-1 tie.

The Falcons knotted up the score in the 56th minute of play when Ucros connected on a 35yard free kick that buried itself in the lower near corner. The would-

be game winner came off the foot of Scaringe sixteen minutes later from 25-yards out from the right side that found its way in the lower-left corner.

The Golden Knights struck back in the final two minutes when Antic repaid Garzon with an assist of his own which found the net to trim the lead to 3-2. The goal was Garzon’s third of the year, a team-high. The goal was in vain though as time expired and left the Falcons victorious.

Saint Rose sophomore Colan Balkwell and Bentley sophomore Jack Blatchford tallied two saves apiece in the net.

The Golden Knights will return home today at 7:00 p.m. for a Northeast-10 Conference matchup with Southern Connecticut State.
