New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) walked onto the field at NBT Bank Stadium on Tuesday afternoon sporting a vintage New York Mets bomber jacket. His last name was embroidered on the back in orange and white block letters.

A native of Queens, Cuomo grew up watching the Mets, going to baseball games as a kid at Shea Stadium frequently. After tying the jacket into his speech, Cuomo revealed it was a gift from his father, Mario Cuomo, the 52nd governor of New York.

“I am sure that he has had a reserved ticket and he’s looking down today, and he’s so happy and so proud,” Cuomo said as his smile started to widen, “that the Syracuse Mets are coming to town and are going to be right here.”

Dozens protest Katko at fundraiser

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

emocratic congressional candidate Dana Balter outraised incumbent Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) by more than $1 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2018, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission by both campaigns this week.

Balter, a political newcomer and visiting assistant teaching professor at Syracuse University, raised more than $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, according to FEC filings. Katko raised slightly more than $480,000, per the filings.

Balter is challenging Katko for control of New York’s 24th Congressional District, which includes Syracuse. July to September 2018 marked Balter’s best fundraising quarter since launching

2043 With the New York Mets purchasing the former-Washington Nationals’ Triple-A affiliate last year, the team began the process of rebranding Tuesday when it announced a name change from the Chiefs to the Syracuse Mets. Cuomo also announced a “large-scale,” $25 million renovation plan to NBT Bank Stadium, which will be covered equally by New York state and Onondaga County.

The Mets bought the Chiefs in October 2017 for more than $20 million, Cuomo said. Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, who spoke at Tuesday’s announcement, said Cuomo asked the Mets to buy the franchise. The deal ended a 56-year community ownership of the team and its nine-year affiliation with the Nationals.

In Cuomo’s “State of the State” address in January, he hinted at a possible name change to Syracuse’s team, but no reports were confirmed.

On Tuesday, Mahoney walked up to the podium on the infield and announced the county’s commitment to the project, investing $12.5 million for renovations to the stadium. The changes include upgrades to its clubhouse, lighting, entryway and concessions along with upper and lower seating replacements.

About 30 people protested a private fundraiser for incumbent Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) in support of Democratic congressional candidate Dana Balter on Tuesday evening, yelling at Katko supporters and encouraging passersby in cars to vote.

A TV advertisement that Katko released last week criticized Balter, saying she hasn’t paid taxes in Florida. The ad has several factual errors in it, including the house where she lived, Syracuse.com reported.

“We’re here because we’re outraged at the dishonest and deceitful advertising aimed at (Balter),” said Andy Majer, a Syracuse activist who was the first to arrive at the protest on James Street.

Katko hosted Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Tuesday for a fundraiser at the Century Club, which constituents could attend for $1,000 per plate. As attendees of the fundraising dinner were walking into the Century Club, protestors yelled “Shame on Katko” at them.

Majer added that he and other activists assume Katko will spread more lies. Several of the chants at the protest included, “Ryan: Retiring, Katko: Lying” and “Hey hey, ho ho, Katko’s got to go.”

About 30 minutes into the protest, Balter came to the street corner where the protestors were stationed to speak for about five minutes about Ryan’s trip to Syracuse.

“I was hoping Paul Ryan would want to come and get to know us and get to know our community and visit with some of the folks in the city of Syracuse,” Balter said.

She said he isn’t here to know Syracuse, but just to support Katko and keep the Republican majority in the House.

“It is time to get rid of Paul Ryan and John Katko’s GOP and their efforts to undermine ... the programs that are vital to working families of central and western New York,” she said.

Jonah Minkoff-Zern, an activist involved in CNY Solidarity, lead chants and conversations about the three politicians throughout most of protest. He said that Balter’s speech was completely separate from the protest.

Protestors were holding signs at the event that said, “#ShameOnKatko,” “Say no to Trump & Co.” and “Katko will meet a retiring representative who wants to cut our Medicare but he won’t meet with us.” see protest page 4

Food trucks may be extending reach to SU

By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

While food trucks aren’t normally seen in the Syracuse University area outside of special events, a city councilor’s proposal to ease regulations on the mobile eateries might change that.

Councilor-at-large Michael Greene has proposed legislation that would decrease the annual license fees for food truck owners and increase the number of available locations where they could operate.

One of the new spots would include Walnut Park, behind Bird Library.

In interviews with The Daily Orange, food truck owners said they were generally pleased with Greene’s proposal. However, they also said the legislation was partially unfair because it doesn’t lower their fees.

Food truck owners said they have been disappointed for years by the city’s high license fees — which currently range from $500 to

$1,500, depending on the quality of the location — and the lack of spots with decent foot traffic.

Paul Waleski, owner of the hotdog cart Tall Paul’s The Dog Cabin, pressed Greene at the Department of Public Works meeting on Tuesday, wanting to know why Greene’s proposal would lower the annual fee for food truck licenses from $1,500 to $500 but food cart operators would be left paying $1,000 more.

“If I’m paying $1,500, I believe they should be paying $1,500 because that’s the amount I’ve been paying for 25 years,” Waleski said.

Greene said that the locations for food carts are better than the spots for food trucks. He said there are 12 mobile food vendors with licenses to operate on city property, only one of which is a food truck.

That food truck — Lady Bug Lunch Box — has been located beside Firefighter’s Memorial Park for almost 10 years, said owner Pamela Dwyer. Dwyer said she tried

several years ago to get the council to expand available locations, but nothing ever came of her requests.

Food trucks are only able to operate in one designated location that is assigned by lottery. Owners said the lack of foot traffic in the available spots makes it difficult to turn a profit and that the lottery is “unfair” because a food truck could build up a following only to lose its spot the next year.

The food carts generally have spots with high foot traffic, Greene said. Walski’s cart is located at the corner of South Warren Street and Madison Street, near the AXA towers and the Central Library in downtown Syracuse.

Pat Orr, owner of the PB and J’s Lunch Box truck, said $1,500 might be a high price for food carts, but they’ve generally been more successful than food trucks in the city. Food carts don’t have to compete for spots like food trucks do because they’re located on the side-

walk instead of the streets, she said.

Orr said she’s happy with Greene’s proposal and the new locations, particularly those along Walnut Park.

“They’re trying to work with us,” she said. “They know there’s a problem, and they’re trying to make a change. This is the first time there’s ever been an attempt to make things better.”

Orr said that assigning an area where a few trucks can operate in a spot together would be more lucrative than the way trucks currently operate alone. She said she stopped paying for the city license a few years ago when she lost her usual spot in the lottery.

Nick Sanford owns Toss ‘n’ Fire Wood-Fired Pizza, which has two food trucks in addition to its brick-and-mortar location in North Syracuse. Sanford also said the current available spots don’t justify the license fee.

College sees 11.6 percent enrollment increase

By Micah Castelo staff writer

SUNY-ESF’s Academic Governance reviewed rebranding efforts and an increase in student enrollment at its monthly meeting on Tuesday.

The environmental college accepted 633 new students this fall, an 11.6 percent increase from last year, according to data presented by

In response to recent violence that has left three people dead and six injured in Syracuse in the last month, New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered the deployment of additional state troopers to the city on Tuesday. The state will work with community leaders, clergy and law enforcement on a long-term violence reduction plan that will likely involve state aid, Cuomo’s office said.

Erin Craig, SUNY-ESF’s associate provost for enrollment and marketing. The data also showed that the number of first-year applications jumped from 1,830 to 2,080 — an approximate 10 percent increase — in one year.

This fall also saw SUNY-ESF’s most diverse incoming class, Craig said. The percentage of minority students increased by 3

percent, while underrepresented minority students increased by 2 percent from last fall. In an effort to improve the applicant pool, Craig added, SUNY-ESF will have two open houses this fall, one on Sunday and one on Nov. 3.

“We’re really trying to drive as many visitors to campus as possible,” she said. “We know that if we get them here, their likelihood of

applying and enrolling just increases exponentially.”

Craig added that her department is strategizing on how to increase enrollment in some of SUNYESF’s under-enrolled programs, including chemistry and landscape architecture, since most incoming students enroll in environmental and forest biology and forest and see enrollment page 4

fundraising her campaign in September 2017.

Katko entered October with about $930,000 on hand, while Balter’s campaign had more than $885,000 on hand as of Sept.

30. Katko’s campaign had roughly $1.5 million more than Balter’s campaign at the end of the second quarter 2018.

Until this summer, Balter had trailed Katko in fundraising in every quarter since she launched her campaign. The third quarter began just days after Balter won the Democratic congressional primary in June.

Most of Balter’s fundraising came from individual donors, FEC data shows. About 70 percent of contributions to Balter’s campaign from individual donors who gave more than $200 each. Just over 7 percent of contributions came from political action committees, including Nancy Pelosi’s PAC to the Future and New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Cuomo NY Take Back the House” PAC. from page 1

protest Issues that were important to many of the activists at the protest included Medicaid, social security and taxes. Ryan supports rolling back Medicaid and social security. Syracuse Students for Change member Max Mimaroglu, 15, said he has tried but failed to make appointments to meet with Katko several times to talk about issues that were important to him, including concealed carry laws.

Activist Mary Kuhn, a proponent of Medicare, Medicaid and social security, said that Ryan and Katko are both part of the problem. “(Balter) speaks for me, she speaks for the people, she’s honest about the need for healthcare for all,” she said.

Minkoff-Zern also said the small-money donations and the protestors could help Balter win by voting.

About 30 percent of Katko’s contributions came from individual donors, according to FEC filings. Just over half of contributions to Katko’s campaign in the third quarter 2018 were from political action committees, including Protect the House, a joint fundraising committee created by Vice President Mike Pence and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Balter raised just under half of her funds in the third quarter of 2018 from out-of-state donors who contributed more than $200, according to FEC data. About 13 percent of Katko’s fundraising came from out-of-state donors who contributed more than $200.

Though Balter raised more money than Katko between July 1 and Sept. 30, Katko spent over $388,000 more than the Democratic challenger. Most of Katko’s more than $1.1 million in spending went to media production and advertising, according to FEC filings.

Balter spent $472,609 — more than half of her $772,056 in third quarter 2018 spending — on media advertising and production, according to FEC filings. jmulle01@syr.edu | @jordanmuller18

“It’s the people power that’s gonna make sure John Katko doesn’t come back to Congress,” Minkoff-Zern said. “It’s the people power that’s gonna beat their lies.”

Katko, the two-time incumbent representative, also hosted a fundraising dinner in June which Vice President Mike Pence visited, for $5,000 per plate lunches. Katko is the seventh most bipartisan member of the House of Representatives, according to the Lugar Center.

Balter has raised more than $1.5 million in funds for her campaign, which she said has come primarily in the form of individual, small-dollar donations.

“This campaign is for the people. And this campaign is powered by the people,” Balter said. “And that’s the essence of what democracy is, what our democracy is supposed to be.” ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

food trucks to choose, and really none of them are lucrative enough for trucks to purchase,” Sanford said.

He said he’d only consider paying the licensing fee if the city opens up areas near SU, which is something Greene’s proposal would do.

enrollment natural resource management programs.

The university also worked with Thorburn Group, a Minneapolis-based branding agency, over the summer to develop a new brand foundation and improve the university’s visibility outside of its primary market. SUNY-ESF hopes this plan would increase student enrollment, potential partners and donors, according to its initial Request for Proposal.

This work involved conducting market research, creating brand messages and forming a new communication strategy that maintains a consistent university identity, per the RFP. After conducting technical evaluations and proposal demonstrations in July, SUNY-

would be a “gold mine” if the legislation allows trucks to park there.

Councilor Susan Boyle, of the 3rd district, applauded Greene at the meeting for his work on the legislation but said the council should take additional time to consider lowering fees for food cart owners, as well.

Greene said he wanted to address the food truck problem now and that passing his proposal wouldn’t stop the council from changing the rules for food carts in the future. casey@dailyorange.com

ESF selected Thorburn Group to complete the branding project in 12 weeks.

“A branding foundation is so much more than just a tagline or a logo,” Craig said. “It really is important that we look at it as a key idea of which we’re trying to articulate key messages — our shared narrative. That’s what we’re trying to achieve here.

Efforts to address SUNY-ESF’s marketing needs are not new, Craig said. The efforts started when former President Quentin Wheeler submitted a funding request to the State University of New York.

In 2017, SUNY-ESF was awarded $190,000 through the Performance Improvement Fund to support online programs that would increase its enrollment. mjcastel@syr.edu

SU can do more for Native students

W

hen Syracuse University’s Native Student Program opened its doors in 2006 on Euclid Avenue, across from the Women’s Building, the location was temporary.

But twelve years have passed since then.

In that time, SU has witnessed a change in leadership and the development of the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion. The workgroup established a university-wide acknowledgement of the Onondaga people, put Onondaga flags up around campus and officially recognized Oct. 8 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The university has taken symbolic steps to boost inclusion of Indigenous students here, but concrete steps toward classroom representation need to be further pursued. “(SU) has done more than possibly any other university,” said Regina Jones, assistant director in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, leading the Native Students Program.

MONEY SPEAKS. PEOPLE TALK. Nancy Cantor, makes SU financially accessible for Haudenosaunee students each year. The Native Student Program has established a space for students with similar backgrounds to connect. Jones said the program has created a real community on campus for Native students, including a separate preorientation program.

These steps have made Nathan Abrams, a Native student from New York’s Allegany Territory, feel more comfortable here, he said.

But Native students have still found some of their peers gawking.

“It’s the novelty of meeting a ‘real Indian,’” Abrams said. “It’s surprising, given the university’s outward commitment to better serving the Native community, not to have a Native studies major.”

Abrams said it’s great other students are interested in Haude-

residence and any relevant affiliations

nosaunee people and culture, but it’s not his responsibility to teach.

There are professionals and literature available at SU to speak to the subject. If students accessed those resources, SU would be more comfortable for Native students.

Native faculty need to be hired.

Jones said this is her No. 1 priority.

With more Native professors, Native studies could be expanded.

SU must allocate resources to hiring more Native faculty members. The Signature Hires Program, a university initiative that will bring in 100 new professors over the course of 5 years, presents a perfect opportunity to do so.

Looking back on this year’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day, SU should be lauded for its steps toward Native student inclusion but, in the future, pressured to bolster Native inclusivity in classrooms.

Marc Molinaro can move New York forward

I

t’s time for a change in New York state government, and a Republican candidate like Marc Molinaro could be exactly what’s needed.

New York needs a governor who can work with the federal government to make a positive difference for communities across the state.

Today, our partisanship style of politics has become more tribalistic across the country, and the Republican and Democratic parties are unwilling to work together.

“You want the other side to lose just as much as you want to win,” said Emily Thorson, a political science professor at Syracuse University.

For New York, this means the focus in November should be on electing someone in line with the party of President Donald Trump, someone ready for change and someone able to work with the federal government. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has shown himself to be anti-Trump and, in turn, anti-progress.

The New York gubernatorial election has big implications for Syracuse. Decisions about Interstate 81, which have been pushed aside by Gov. Cuomo for years, are at stake.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Molinaro has concrete plans for I-81’s replacement.

He’s advocating for a consolidation between a tunnel option and street-grid option. And Molinaro’s likely to be willing to work with both sides of the aisle, as a Republican coming from a traditionally Democratic state.

Voters need to turn away from media reports and focus on the candidates themselves. Many

POLITICS AREN’T B&W voters rely and focus on only what news outlets shows them, absorbing sources that lean strongly one way or another, politically.

“One of the critical functions of the media is kinda telling the public what to think about or telling them what is important,” Thorson said, though.

With the gubernatorial election fast approaching, New York residents have the opportunity to look at preferred policies of individual candidates rather than the biased portrayals displayed in news shows.

Molinaro can make positive changes for Syracuse, and even wants to set term limits for governors, senators and assembly members. He supports the prevention of political stagnation and recognizes how Gov. Cuomo has been too caught up in personal concerns to accomplish state goals.

A Republican who can work with the federal government and respect traditionally liberal ideals of New York could be what our state needs.

Matching the party of the president eases policy making efforts.

New York needs Molinaro.

Take your pick Local apple farms offer more than just apples

By Sarah Slavin

asst. copy editor

t’s not too late to get those last-minute Instagram photos at an apple orchard. Here are three places to check out if you’re looking to celebrate autumn with fall staples such as apple cider donuts, pumpkin patches and hayrides.

3275 Cold Springs Road, Baldwinsville Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Abbott Farms, located 15 minutes away from campus, has been owned by the Abbott family since 1866. With U-Pick apple picking, pumpkin picking, farm animals and a large store, there are plenty of things to see and do at the farm.

“We always strive very, very hard to make it apparent that when you’re here you’re on a working farm, it’s not just here for show, and we think that’s a fairly special thing,” said Michael Blair, production manager at Abbott Farms.

Pumpkin picking prices range in size from $2 to $12, Blair said. U-Pick apple picking also ranges in price depending on bag size — Blair said the bag prices average out to about $1.10 a pound.

The country store also offers pre-picked apples. Gala, Paula Red, Macoun, Ginger Gold, SnapDragon and Fuji apples are all sold in the store.

The store sells various apple products including cider, pie, cider donuts, caramel apples and applesauce. The store also offers homemade fudge, free-range beef, ice cream from Gifford’s Famous Ice Cream in Maine, popcorn and alcohol.

Blair said the homemade hard cider is made by fermenting a mixture of different apples and adding yeast — so far, they’ve made at least a dozen different blends of hard cider.

“Every time we add something or change the process a little, it changes the end result, and we end up with a different blend of hard cider,” he said.

For Blair, the best part about the hard cider is they can use up all their apples when fermenting to decrease food waste. In the past the farm would stay open for as long as they could — once the apples started to get bad, they would open the farm to the public. They did this see apples page 8

Abbott Farms, located about 15 minutes from Syracuse University’s campus in Baldwinsville, offers a range of fall activities. Visitors have the opportunity to pick apples and pumpkins, interact with animals and shop at the farm’s store. molly gibbs photo editor

Memorial service to honor late SU professor Kermit Lee

By Gillian Follet

contributing writer

A memorial service for Kermit J. Lee, Jr., will be held this week.

Lee, who passed away in January of this year, was an emeritus professor of architecture at SU’s School of Architecture.

He will be memorialized at a campus service on Thursday, Oct. 18 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. in Slocum Hall. The memorial celebration will LEE include speeches from Lee’s family, along with former colleagues and students. The service will also feature an exhibition of Lee’s artwork from his career.

He will be recognized for his accomplishments as both an artist and an architect and honored for his impact on the university community. As the first black graduate of the School of Architecture, Lee’s vision and persistence opened up from page 7

apples so people could help them pick all apples to donate to food pantries and take some home for themselves as well.

“We try our best not to waste as much as we can,” Blair said.

All season the farm has hosted their “Fall Fest” event which occurs every weekend in September and October. It boasts activities such as apple cannons and slingshots, wagon rides to the corn maze and face painting.

Wristbands for “Fall Fest” are $9 per person, but people can purchase individual tickets for activities for $3.50.

newfound opportunities for generations of students to come.

Lee served as a faculty member at SU from 1967 until he retired in 1994 after suffering from a stroke, but that in no way lessened his love of art or his influence at Syracuse. Taylor Wood, the assistant dean for Advancement at the School of Architecture, said Lee was “remarkably” able to continue producing art after his stroke left the right side of his body paralyzed. Instead of giving up on his artwork, he taught himself to paint using his left hand.

Though the field of architecture is very demanding, Wood said that Lee was very passionate about his work and made sure to instill his love for the discipline into his students.

Lawrence Davis, an associate professor of architecture, said Lee contributed to the cultivation of a “culture of very high standards” — a culture that the School of Architecture is still known for today.

The architecture major is rigorous and students often face critiques on their projects.

However, Wood said Lee aimed to “lift up” students after critical reviews and encourage them to stay in the program.

According to Wood, Lee had a large impact not only on many of his students, but his colleagues, as well. Randall Korman, also a professor of architecture, will serve as master of ceremonies for the event and will deliver a speech honoring his colleague. Other speakers at the event will include Lee’s daughter, Karin George, and Colline Hernandez-Ayala, a School of Architecture graduate who was very close to Lee. Patrick Ahearn, a member of the Syracuse University Board of Trustees who Lee had a “profound impact” on, according to Wood, will be in attendance.

Wood said she hopes the program will present a fitting representation of Lee’s life, as it includes words from his colleagues, friends and family. Davis said that memorial events such as Lee’s for professors at the university are somewhat rare, which demonstrates the “high level of respect and appreciation” that Lee has earned at SU.

But Lee’s legacy will live on long after Thursday’s ceremony ends. The Kermit J. Lee, Jr. Endowed Scholarship Fund — created by the School of Architecture to fund the education of students in their third year or beyond at SU — was created to help further guide future architects to their career aspirations. While the fund has received donations since its establishment in 1996, Wood says that this is the first year it will be awarded to students.

The scholarship requires a minimum 2.7 GPA, which is significantly lower than most scholarships at the school. Wood said that Lee wasn’t concerned about his students’ grades — he was interested in their “professional promise” and artistic talent.

In his absence, the scholarship will be a way to carry on Lee’s legacy and his focus on students’ artistic abilities, rather than their grades, and encourage them to continue to work their hardest despite any obstacles thrown their way.

In September, the orchard hosted their “Apple Fest,” which featured live music, activities for kids and organic apple picking.

which are priced at two for a dollar. They also sell mini pumpkins and a smaller type of gourd called “munchkins.”

Plumpton Farms has a haunted house inside a barn silo. The silo has a lot of glow-in-the-dark things, such as witches and skeletons and eerie music. Plumpton also said “it’s geared more towards younger children.” The haunted house is free, and the farm has no admission fee.

The farm is open for pumpkin picking until Halloween night, but Plumpton said

by Halloween they usually don’t have a lot left. She said whatever pumpkins they have left at the end of the season they leave out for deer to “feast” on.

The farm only takes cash or check.

p.m., Tuesday and Thursday noon to 4 p.m.

The price for U-Picking apples at Adams Acres is $1.60 a pound. They grow a variety of apple types such as Honeycrisp, Liberty, Spartan, Dayton, Florina and Northern Spy. Not all are available at all times, but by checking their updated website or Facebook page, visitors can check which types are there before visiting.

Similarly to Abbott Farms, they have prepicked apples for sale. Bushels of apples are $55 and can be bought by pre-ordering the bushel online. Pre-ordering must be done the Friday before the bushels are to be picked up.

Adams Acres accepts both cash and credit cards when paying for apples.

Since 1980, this family-owned farm has opened its doors for pumpkin and gourd picking. Corn stalks, straw and hay are also sold in the fall. The farm also sells various f lowers and vegetables in the spring and summer.

Pumpkin picking is very popular at the farm — pumpkins range in price, usually starting at a dollar for the smallest pumpkins, owner Cindy Plumpton said. She also said they have an assortment of gourds

s a child in Spain, Maite Uzal sang along to the soundtrack of “Fiddler on the Roof” with her father. Although the two Spanish-speakers didn’t know the lyrics, they would invent their own, adding a new spin to the classic melodies.

This fall, Uzal will again add her own flair to “Fiddler on the Roof” as one of the leads in the new Broadway tour. The show will open its 11-month tour across the country at the Landmark Theatre on Oct. 17.

Uzal, who plays Golde, said this will be her first national tour. She moved to the United States from Madrid in 2011 and has lived in New York City ever since. Uzal, who hasn’t been to many of the cities on the show’s schedule, said the 11-month stretch will give the chance for the performance to grow and change.

“I imagine that switching places, inevitably the show makes itself fresh, because you’re in a new place,” Uzal said. “There’s new marks you have to hit, and the city has a new vibe. I anticipate that is going to be very helpful.”

“Fiddler on the Roof,” which first opened on Broadway in 1964, has become an internationally successful standard of musical theater.

The show follows Tevye, a Jewish milkman, and his family as they navigate life in a rural

Timeless ‘tradition’

“Fiddler on the Roof” kicks off Broadway tour in Syracuse on Wednesday Russian village during the Tsarist regime. In order to prepare for her role as Tevye’s stubborn wife, Uzal tapped into her own experiences. Although Uzal is not a mother or a wife, she said there are still many ways in which she relates to the character.

“I have been through the struggles of trying to balance tradition and change,” Uzal said. “In that aspect, I can relate to what she’s going through.”

The story deals heavily with the relationship between tradition and change, both within Tevye and Golde’s family unit and the country of Russia itself. This theme is something that Landmark Theatre Executive Director Mike Intaglietta said has kept the show relevant for more than 50 years.

“These are things that are omnipresent no matter what era you’re living in,” Intaglietta said. “That balance is one that people are always trying to navigate.”

In Ingliatella’s three years as director of the Landmark, the theater has hosted seven Broadway tours. Intaglietta said only a few theaters in New York state can accommodate the elaborate technical design of a Broadway production like “Fiddler” — the Landmark is one of them. Local stagehands prepare the space for the traveling tech crew, often bringing in special equipment when needed. But all of that is done in advance, Intaglietta said, so that when the production arrives the theater can hit the ground running.

For Olivia Gjurich, a member of the ensemble, performing in Syracuse will be a return to her old stomping grounds. Gjurich graduated from Syracuse University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting program in 2013. “[SU] told me there wasn’t anything I shouldn’t be trying,” Gjurich said. “It wasn’t like ‘you can’t do that role because you’re too young right now,’ or this or that. We just explored everything.”

“Fiddler on the Roof,” however, has long been one of Gjurich’s favorites. Citing the use of language in the lyrics and the script as a favorite aspect, Gjurich also said she thinks the story is such a classic because of the deep love between Tevye, Golde and their daughters.

“I think it’s just a completely universal message of growing and loving and having to soldier on,” she said.

Uzal agrees, saying that the central themes of the show — the contrast between old and new and the relationship between a father and his daughters — are themes that everyone has been touched by.

“I think that is something that anybody who walks into the theater can relate to,” Uzal said.

“Fiddler on the Roof” also stars Yehezkel Lazarov as Tevye and is directed by Tony award-winner Bartlett Sher. hklinder@syr.edu

“This stadium is one of the jewels of our county parks system,” Mahoney said. “We’re really excited for what’s in store.”

After Cuomo’s speech and words from the Mets’ chief operating officer, Jeff Wilpon, the team revealed a new logo and uniforms.

The primary logos features a blue New York from page 12

buchanan It’s a “grueling stretch,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said, but one made easier thanks to Buchanan’s play of late.

“He gives us another option up front,” McIntyre said. “I’m glad he got that early one and got the hat trick second half, we’re delighted for him.”

Buchanan’s three goals give him five in his last two games after scoring each of Syracuse’s two goals against Lousiville on Friday. The two against the Cardinals were his first since he backflipped against Hofstra, a span of 40 days in between scores.

A left knee strain kept him out two games in the middle of September and a red card against then-No. 1 Wake Forest caused him to miss a game against Ohio State last week. Since his suspension, he’s tallied 10 points in two games, half of his team-leading total on the season.

1990 The last year Syracuse scored seven goals in one game, it defeated Niagara, 7-1

“The kid’s an absolute beast,” said Hilli Goldhar, a midfielder for Syracuse. “It’s been tough for him … but we know how good he is, and he’s proving it every game now.”

The first score of the game came off the head of Sondre Norheim, just four minutes into the contest. Off a corner kick from Hugo Delhommelle, Norheim snuck the ball past the goalkeeper to put the Orange on the board. Just over a minute later, Buchanan began to dominate.

The Bonnies attempted to play the ball from page 12

freshmen Syracuse scored 45 regular season goals and earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament before losing in the first round. One year later, the Orange replaced five upperclassmen with five underclassmen.

Near the beginning of this season, the Orange faced three top-10 opponents in three games. All three were losses, including a home loss against Duke. The loss to the Blue Devils was the worst offensive performance by an SU team under Ange Bradley with zero shots. It was SU’s first three-game losing streak since 2014.

Since the losing streak, SU has gone 5-2, losing only to the top-ranked team in the country, North Carolina, and divisional opponent No. 16 Wake Forest. The Orange picked up a top-10 win against then-No. 8 Boston College as one of those five wins.

“I think we’ve acclimated very good,” from page 12

goals eventual 7-1 loss, marking the sixth time it has allowed four or more goals this year. In its last three games, SU has scored five of its 11 goals on the season but surrendered 18. The Orange’s attack has come to life after a scoreless run in four games from Sept. 16 to 29, but Syracuse’s inability to keep games close has made its goals insignificant.

After Kate Hostage’s goal in the 41st minute against Kent State on Sept. 13, SU’s offense went cold. First, it was a 4-0 loss to then-No. 13 Duke, a game in which Hostage, the team’s leading scorer, went down with a left ankle injury that sidelined her for the next three games. Four days later, Boston College held the Orange scoreless again in a dominant 3-0 win.

This is a bold commitment to continuing our proud baseball legacy.

to their keeper to clear the ball back out to midfield, but it never reached him. Buchanan intercepted the pass and dribbled towards the goal, with just the St. Bonaventure keeper to beat. The sophomore had no trouble converting, doubling SU’s lead after sending the ball through the legs of the goalie. “(We) just got after them,” Buchanan said.

“Coach always says those are the easy ones. I just ran in behind and was able to finish.”

The 2-0 lead in the first five minutes “set the tone for the game,” McIntyre said. Then SU broke the game open. It took Buchanan just 11 minutes to find the goal again, after Massimo Ferrin’s feed from the right side of the field found him in the box. The score was called off because Ferrin was offsides, but that didn’t stop Buchanan from another strike.

Five minutes later, Simon Triantafillou saw Buchanan streaking in front of the goal in the same place that the score was called off. A St. Bonaventure defender stood between him and the net, but the gap was quickly erased. Triantafillou’s lob feed led Buchanan, who dusted his defender and corralled the pass before he scored his second goal of the game.

Buchanan’s third goal came 15 minutes into the second half and two minutes after Julio Fulcar’s goal gave Syracuse a 4-0 lead.

Goldhar controlled the ball in the middle of the field before spotting Buchanan, who was tightly covered by a Bonnie defender.

“I picked my head up, saw him back post and just figured, ‘Okay, I’ll send it in there.

See what happens,’” Goldhar said. “I’m not surprised with the end result.”

The goal sent Buchanan back to the same corner where he’d celebrated much more spectacularly earlier in the season. But he’s on a different run now, and so is the team.

“We’re on a roll right now,” Buchanan said.

“We beat Wake, got a result against Louisville, it shows we can beat any team in the country.

We’re moving in the right direction.” erblack@syr.edu

defense night, it was Nwafornso and St. Bonaventure’s turn.

“We put out the fire before the fire,” Miller said. “We were proactive on him and had an eye on him wherever we were.”

Four nights ago, SU was burned by thenNo. 11 Louisville for not stopping its top performers. The Cardinals’ Tate Schmitt and Adam Wilson — U of L’s points leaders — erased Syracuse’s 2-0 lead en route to a draw.

Against a weaker St. Bonaventure squad, SU made sure the Bonnies’ threat wouldn’t make an impact.

Syracuse jumped out to an early two-goal lead created by sophomore Tajon Buchanan and didn’t allow the Bonnies to rebound.

When the game kicked off, SU goalie Hendrik Hilpert screamed “pressure,” as blue and orange striped jerseys dashed across the field. Whenever the Bonnies possessed the ball, two defenders gravitated toward Nwafornso. As St. Bonaventure weathered Syracuse’s initial fury and brought the ball to its own attacking third, two Orange defenders remained on Nwafornso.

“I thought we did a good job of cutting off the service,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “Our pressing, for the most part, was good tonight. We worked extremely hard to limit their opportunities.”

The Nigerian-born attacker seized oneon-one opportunities, using a combination of size and space to best defenders. On the rare occasions that he broke free of SU’s press, another defender would charge at him.

Syracuse starting center back Len Zeugner was “banged up” and not available.

Tuesday night’s backline consisted of Miller, Sondre Norheim in a more central role, Simon Triantafillou and spot-starter Jan Breitenmoser. Syracuse routinely shakes up the defensive rotations in practice, familiar-

Graziosi said. “You can see in the end of the season we’re all getting like better and stronger, and we’re just used to everything now.”

Graziosi leads her class in goals this season (2) and is third overall on the team. The freshman from the Netherlands started all 13 games for the Orange. Graziosi expected to play a lot, based on what she was told during recruiting, she said. But she didn’t expect to start every game of her freshman year. Neither did Queen, the only other freshman to do so. Queen leads the team in assists (5) and is tied with Graziosi for thirdmost points (7).

Against then-No. 10 Virginia, the two connected for SU’s lone goal. Coming off a penalty corner, the Orange were unable to find immediate success. But then Queen got into position to assist Graziosi for her second goal of the season. It would also help SU to its second of five overtime games this season, and the only one it lost.

A month later, SU faced another top-10 opponent in Boston College. The game went into overtime, but this time the Orange came out victorious with help from Wimbert, who had two assists.

Syracuse’s next two contests, both 1-0 losses, were “bad losses to take,” SU head coach Phil Wheddon said. First, the Orange conceded with nine seconds left in the game to then-one loss Louisville. Six days later, SU fell to Miami, who was winless in its previous seven games.

“To lose those games against Louisville and Miami were gutting for us,” Wheddon said. “We honestly felt we should have got something out those games.”

In the Orange’s next game against thenNo. 23 North Carolina State, the drought finally ended, 423 game minutes after Hostage’s goal against Kent State. When Sydney Brackett’s corner kick snuck inside the front post and into the net in the third minute, SU celebrated like it was a lastminute winner.

“I think you could see it in our reaction,”

Root said. “All of us were sprinting and smiling and celebrating. There was just relief on our faces because we know we’re capable of scoring.”

While Syracuse’s lead lasted just seven minutes, simply seeing the ball go into the net instilled SU with the belief that it could keep scoring, Brackett said. The Orange went on to score twice more that night.

The increase in offensive production has been a result of SU pressing higher up the field with a 4-3-3 formation. Saturday against Notre Dame, Wheddon started the second half with a high press. It worked for the first 25 minutes of the half, as the Orange dominated possession and scored a goal.

“We’ve made creative runs and have had an offensive mindset,” Brackett said about SU’s recent offensive success. “A lot of the

izing each other for when the time comes.

“I thought (Triantafillou) did a good job,” McIntyre said. “When (Nwafornso) moved through the middle, I thought (Miller) and (Norheim) did a good job. We had bodies around him.”

SU’s backline utilized a “one and a half job” mentality, Miller said. Each defender was constantly aware of two Bonnies players: whomever their assignment was and Nwafornso. On restarts — goal kicks, corners and set pieces — the Orange dedicated two and sometimes three bodies to the one player who could beat them.

In the first half, with Nwafornso open on the wing, a St. Bonaventure midfielder was called for a handball. The senior clapped his hands and kept his head forward, but his frustration grew as the game went on.

Once Buchanan added a third goal, Nwafornso jogged to midfield. He shook his head when SU forward Ryan Raposo almost scored seconds later. He kept his head down on the ensuing free kick and didn’t notice the ball sail over his head.

Later in the half, a through ball from the Bonnies’ backline was intended for Nwafornso, but it was too high and he took one step before realizing it. From the stands, a St. Bonaventure fan yelled, “You guys got to support him, come on!” His teammates didn’t, though, and Nwafornso watched as Fulcar scored SU’s fourth goal. Buchanan capped off his hat trick two minutes later.

Nwafornso’s night ended in the 68th minute as the Bonnies subbed out four starters, effectively conceding the match. Nwafornso sauntered to the bench and sat down. He hadn’t made his impact, and all that was left to do was watch.

“We were aware of (Nwafornso),” McIntyre said. “... We’ve played against good players this year, and I thought we did a decent job of keeping him quiet tonight.” nialvare@syr.edu

to adapt to the speed of the game. Wimbert played in Germany before coming to SU and, for her, the differences stemmed from practice styles. Before playing in the U.S., Wimbert said she often practiced a new technique at a slower pace to learn it. Now, at Syracuse, it’s “fast from the beginning” so that the athletes know what to expect in game, she said. As the end of the season nears, they’ve adjusted.

Syracuse only has two regular season games left before the ACC tournament.

Last time the Orange had a team this young, in 2008, it reached the program’s first final four. But that year the Orange put up 107 goals in the regular season and went 19-1, compared to 23 goals and eight wins so far this season.

“We had to start from the beginning and learn a lot,” Graziosi said, “and now we’re near the end of the season and we’ve learned so much that really helps us in the field.” klwasile@syr.edu | @Kaci_Waz

things that we’ve been talking about and working on in practice have finally started to translate onto the field.”

But Syracuse’s offensive surge ended immediately following its goal. Over the final 20 minutes, the Fighting Irish took advantage of Syracuse’s offensive desperation and scored three goals en route to a 5-1 victory.

While the Orange’s goals haven’t led to wins, they’ve proved SU can score against the conference’s best. Syracuse will have another opportunity to prove that on Thursday when it faces Virginia, who has allowed a conference-low seven goals this season.

“We’re happy to be finding the back of the net,” Wheddon said. “But we’ve got to make sure that we close out games so we can win games.” ddschnei@syr.edu

Freshmen lineup limits scoring

TAJON BUCHANAN yells after scoring a goal. The sophomore shot six times on Tuesday, scoring on three of them. His hat trick is the fourth three-goal performance in the ACC this season. max freund asst. photo editor

ajon Buchanan ran to the corner of the field, the same one that he backflipped on just over a month ago. Back then, he celebrated giving Syracuse a 4-3 lead against Hofstra in the late minutes of the game.

Tuesday, his celebration was more subdued. He put his thumb and pointer finger together to form a circle and raised his three other fingers in the air.

They matched the amount of goals he scored against St. Bonaventure, giving him his first hat trick since high school. But he didn’t care to celebrate like he did a month ago.

Instead, let his teammates celebrate for him and the crowd later applaud for him as he was subbed out of a game that had quickly gotten out of hand.

Tajon Buchanan’s three goals lead SU to 7-0 blowout of St. Bonaventure

“My job is to score goals,” Buchanan said, “and that’s what I did tonight.”

His performance led the Orange (7-4-2, 1-3-1 Atlantic Coast) past the Bonnies (5-7-1, 2-3 Atlantic 10), 7-0 at SU Soccer Stadium on Tuesday. The game marks the first time Syracuse had scored seven goals since 1990, when it defeated Niagara, 7-1, and broke an SU Soccer Stadium goals record. The win concluded SU’s nonconference slate in which it won six games, setting up the Orange for its last three ACC games of the year.

SU’s next three games come during the final week of the season which us more congested because the Orange’s game against Clemson was postponed earlier in the season. see buchanan page 10

In Syracuse’s first game this season, freshmen contributed in each of the four goals. Kira Wimbert and Laura Graziosi both scored in their first SU game — Graziosi has scored once more, but Wimbert hasn’t scored since.

Featuring its youngest team since 2008, No. 9 Syracuse’s (8-5, 1-4 Atlantic Coast) season has partly relied on the output of its youth. Freshmen, while accounting for 32.1 percent of SU’s starts this season, have only scored five of Syracuse’s 23 goals. They have recorded over half of the team’s assists, though. “(Being one of the youngest teams in SU’s history) has its benefits, it has its negative things about it,” freshman Tess Queen said. “But I think we’ve handled it really well.”

The Orange’s 2017 roster had twice the number of upperclassmen as it does now. Last year, see freshmen page 10

SU scores goals, can’t break losing streak

Defense shuts out Bonnies’ leading scorer

By Nick Alvarez staff writer

St. Bonaventure’s Kosi Nwafornso walked off the pitch on Tuesday night with a hood pulled over his head. A couple of teammates walked over and patted his back.

Nwafornso shook his head, his eyes glued to ground.

A few feet away, Syracuse players wore thick Nike coats and wide smiles. They huddled together near camera crews, applauding freshman Julio Fulcar for making it “big time.”

The contrasting scenes were a result of the previous 90 minutes. While SU celebrated, Nwafornso struggled. While the Orange dominated with relative ease, Nwafornso failed time and again.

The 6-foot-1 playmaker entered the game responsible for seven of

the Bonnies’ 11 goals and was the producer of more than half the team’s points (16 of 31). He’d been on the scoresheet in all but one of the Bonnies’ wins. For the Orange, the defensive strategy was simple: Stop Nwafornso. Syracuse (7-4-2, 1-3-1 Atlantic Coast) did just that, holding St. Bonaventure’s (5-7-1, 2-3 Atlantic 10) “focal point,” Orange defender Kamal Miller said, to one shot in the Orange’s 7-0 demolition.

The win marked Syracuse’s third-straight shutout at home while it allowed just one goal in the last 322 minutes played in the SU Soccer Stadium, dating back to an overtime draw against Colgate on Sept. 24. In that stretch, the backline has stifled the best offense in the country (Wake Forest) and one of the worst (Ohio State). On Tuesday see defense page 10

On Oct. 7, No. 3 North Carolina was smothering Syracuse. The Tar Heels held a two-goal advantage, had nine shots, and if not for a penalty kick save by SU goalkeeper Jordan Harris, would have scored three goals with three-quarters of the game left to play.

Still, Syracuse had a temporary breakthrough. Taylor Bennett launched a free kick from deep within SU’s defensive half to the Tar Heels’ penalty area, where Kate Hostage delicately flicked it on to the feet of UNC defender Julia Ashley. Ashley let it run, Meghan Root snuck behind her mark, and the freshman’s closerange finish was tidy. The Orange was within one against one of the nation’s best teams.

“As a team we needed to be a little scrappier in the box, a little more hungry,” Root said. “And we need to do it a lot more consistently throughout the game.”

Syracuse (3-12, 0-7 Atlantic Coast) conceded five unanswered goals following Root’s goal, in an see goals page 10
