Veterans recognized at ceremony in Syracuse’s War Memorial Arena

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

A

bugler began Syracuse’s annual Veterans Day ceremony on Sunday with a call to assembly before city and county officials discussed renovations to the Onondaga County War Memorial, located at the OnCenter Complex, gave distinguished veteran awards, played music and recognized military veterans who attended.

The renovations to the War Memorial, presented by Deputy County Executive Bill Fisher and County Facilities Commissioner Archie Wixson, cost more than $1 million and include an “All Who Served Club” as a lounge for veterans.

“The War Memorial is really a staple of our community. It serves as a venue for sporting events, cultural performances and community gatherings,” Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said. “It

also serves as a visual testament to our nation’s military members who have served this country on all of our behalf.”

Two different choirs and a pianist performed during the ceremony. Songs included lyrics such as “you’ll never walk alone,” sung by the Spirit of Syracuse Chorus, and the official songs of each branch of the U.S. military.

Four awards were given during the ceremony: Veteran of the Year, Veteran Business, Friend of Veterans and Support of Veterans. Marvin Triggs, Jr., who served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War, was named Veteran of the Year.

Triggs has worked with Onondaga County Veterans for nearly 50 years, helping hundreds of veterans “get back on their feet,” according to a short biography in the ceremony’s pamphlet. He also volunteers running bingo at the Syracuse Veteran Affairs Medical Center.

In the wake of a President Donald Trump administration memo about a proposal to establish a rigid legal definition of gender under Title IX, Syracuse University students and faculty voiced concern about possible discrimination against the transgender community under the proposal.

A memo from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acquired by The New York Times suggests defining gender as “male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with.” Transgender and gender nonconforming individuals do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth, and nonbinary individuals do not wholly identify along the gender binary.

This narrowed definition of gender would do “enormous damage” by eliminating federal recognition for an estimated 1.4 million people, said Margaret Himley, a professor and director of the LGBT studies program at SU, in an email.

Eli Blodgett, a sophomore stage management major who is agender and queer, said their initial reaction to the proposal was “a combination of being completely shocked and being not shocked at all.”

Blodgett added they were unsurprised by the motives behind the proposal, given the administration’s previous actions regarding the transgender community.

Oluwafolabomi Olujimi, a junior neuroscience and communication and rhetorical studies double major from Nigeria who identifies as cisgender, said the proposal came as a shock to her given the United States’ brief history of more progressive policies regarding the LGBT community, referencing the Supreme Court’s legalization of gay marriage in 2015.

“I come from a culture where anyone who doesn’t fit some sort of social norm faces prosecution,” she said, adding that she was expecting “more liberation” when she came to the U.S. As part of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in federallyfunded educational institutions and programs. The amendment applies to most public or private colleges and universities, including SU. In light of the proposal, Chancellor Kent Syverud issued a statement that reiterated SU’s commitment to protecting transgender and gender nonconforming individuals on campus. see memo page 4

NEXT conference to bring in tech resources

By Sajida Ayyup staff writer

Two of Syracuse University’s major centers of technology will be hosting NEXT, a one-day conference in Liverpool on Thursday. The conference, which is in its fifth year, is a collaboration between members of the local technology and manufacturing communities.

Carly Signor, program coordinator of the New York State Science and Technology Law Center at SU’s College of Law, has been overseeing the center’s collaboration with NEXT 2018. There are four other organizations involved in the conference: SU’s Center for Advanced Systems and Engineer-

ing, Train Develop Optimize, Central New York Biotech Accelerator and the Empire State Development’s Division of Science, Technology and Innovation. “The four of us, instead of competing with each other, we decided to come together and pull our resources for the conference,� Signor said.

M. Jack Rudnick, professor of practice at SU’s College of Law and director of NYS STLC, is one of the panel members of NEXT’s Technology and the Law tracks. He will be discussing “Innovation & Intellectual Property — Decision Points for Startups.� Biotech Innovation, Manufacturing Excellence and CNY Drone Industry Update are some of the other tracks that will be

highlighted at the conference.

NYS STLC also collaborates with the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and the Blackstone LaunchPad to provide a platform for students to realize the commercial value of their products in the market, Rudnick said.

This year will mark NYS STLC’s third year at NEXT. Rudnick said the center is a combination of law, business and engineering.

The biggest problem for a startup today is money, Rudnick added. Even if these startups get the patent, it’s hard to get the funding they need to continue. NYS STLC helps people network with angel investors and funding houses.

The South Asia Center at Syracuse University has received $1.4 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Education, according to an SU News release.

SU will use the grant to support language and area studies of South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The federal grant can also be used for research fellowships, student and faculty training and study abroad programs, according to the release.

The South Asia Center’s director, Carol Babiracki, plans to use the grant to create study abroad partnerships with community colleges in Onondaga, Monroe and Tompkins counties, and with SUNY Cortland and Buffalo State universities, according to the release.

The South Asia Center is part of the Syracuse-Cornell South Asia Consortium. The Department of Education has designated both the center and the consortium as National Resource Centers, which are “national resources� for teaching foreign languages, according to the release.

The center will also use the funding to support a new Sustainable South Asia Initiative, a network of teaching, research and public outreach aimed at creating sustainable communities in the region, according to the release. casey@dailyorange.com @caseydarnell_

Syracuse University honors veterans at Hendricks Chapel ceremony

SU’s Veterans Day Ceremony brought about 300 alumni, students and administrators to Hendricks Chapel on Friday. Retired Maj. Gen. Peggy Combs, an SU alumna, was the keynote speaker.

Combs told the audience about seven institutional values taught to members of the military — loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.

She said that if veterans and supporters of veterans lived by those values people could bring the country “to the next level of excellence.�

Combs also emphasized the importance of expressing gratitude for veterans and their supporters. “Never forget that freedom isn’t free,� she said. “It’s borne on the backs of about 1.4 million in active service right now.�

memo “Our support for transgender individuals remains steadfast,” he said in the statement.

The university will continue to enforce both federal and New York state nondiscriminatory laws pertaining to gender identity, according to the statement. It will investigate cases of harassment and discrimination, uphold the preferred name policy and plan to build more gender-inclusive living spaces.

“The demonstration and the statement from the Chancellor are important ways for the University to make it clear that we value the transgender community and will continue to protect their rights,” Himley said.

Blodgett said they, among others, are working with the university to ensure the genderrelated Title IX policies are upheld regardless of legal obligation.

Jennifer Grygiel, an assistant professor of communications at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a focus in social media, said the proposal felt “political, again.”

Grygiel, who identifies as non-binary, said they would expect to see people protesting the proposal and organizing on social media platforms, from page 1

ceremony County executive, was awarded the Friend of Veterans recognition. Mahoney dedicated her award to Mary Bergen, an American Gold Star Mother who died in October.

State Sen. John DeFrancisco (R-Dewitt) received the Support of Veterans award, which a representative accepted for him at the ceremony. XCL Unlimited, a veteran-owned small business, which specializes in construction management, general contracting and maintenance, won Veteran Business of the year.

The ceremony ended with music as Bishop Carl Clark said a prayer and sang in honor of veterans.

About 150 people tried to gather for the ceremony on Sunday morning outside the OnCenter, but they were delayed by the Syracuse Half Mar-

as well as possible increased hashtag usage and hashtag campaigns.

Compared to the online mobilization around the issue of same-sex marriage, Grygiel has seen similar online activism. The transgender community online has done a lot of organizational work on platforms such as Instagram, with images being circulated primarily among supporters of the movement, Grygiel added.

Blodgett said cisgender allyship is important, and those in social positions of privilege must take steps to be politically active every day.

“In this time, we cannot be passive,” Blodgett said. “As someone who fights for my rights on a daily basis, that’s a little more necessary, but people who have privilege should use that privilege to be less politically apathetic.”

More than 40 students gathered on the Quad on Oct. 31 to protest the proposal.

Blodgett, who helped organize the protest, said the rally was a “more direct experience of what trans people face everyday.”

“This move is part of a broader project of attacking the civil rights of many groups in the U.S. All of us who are committed to human rights, human dignity and human diversity must and will fight back,” Himley said. esfolts@syr.edu

In a speech at the ceremony, Walsh said the congestion was likely his own fault. He was “cursing the road blocks” trying to find a way to get to the ceremony, which was held within a two-minute walk of the half marathon finish line, he added.

Everyone in the crowd, many of whom were senior veterans, laughed and agreed. The half-marathon had some veterans from the Korean and Vietnam Wars walking more than one-third of a mile in freezing temperatures, including through all race participants, to attend the Veterans Day observance.

“I sincerely want to apologize to everyone who was inconvenienced,” Walsh said. “This ceremony is the most important thing happening today.” ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

t makes sense, financially, to ban plastic bags and promote reusable bags. As the value of recycled goods decreases, the value of the second “R� in “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle� increases.

If you are a city of Syracuse resident, the materials you put on the curb in your blue bin are not recycled by the people who pick them up. In fact, there’s a few steps, often taking place across multiple countries, before your materials are completely recycled.

First, the haulers who pick up your trash and recyclables are not employed directly by the government.

They are independent haulers who are payed in part by governments, and in part directly by citizens. These private haulers bring your trash and recyclables to the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency facility, where they are processed for a fee.

OCRRA is responsible in selling these sorted and prepared recyclables to whoever will pay the most for them. In the past this has been China, but times have changed.

China is no longer paying for recycled goods, causing the value of the goods to plummet.

PETER MORRISSEY

MAKE SIMPLE CHANGE Unfortunately, the cost for OCRRA to recycle materials remains the same, and they’ve had to raise the rate that they charge private haulers to process trash and recycled goods. This hike will take effect in 2019.

Since the cost of recycling will increase, it’s financially beneficial to reuse.

Kristen Lawton, public information officer at OCRRA said in an email, “OCRRA encourages folks to use reusable bags instead of plastic (or to forego a bag in the first place).�

Kristen also said that plastic bags are, “the number one contaminant in the recycling stream.� Film plastics such as plastic bags slow down processing, which ultimately costs the taxpayer.

This is another signal that New York state needs to follow California’s footsteps and ban plastic bags.

Gary Scott, professor of paper and bioprocess engineering at SUNY ESF, agrees that reusing is

the way to go, but added that if you have to choose, paper bags are much healthier than plastic.

Both paper and plastic contain carbon, but Scott said you need to consider where the carbon comes from. The carbon in plastic comes from oil, which is in the ground, and it either returns to the ground through a landfill, or is burned, and the carbon enters the atmosphere.

On the other hand, paper comes from trees, which obtain carbon from the atmosphere. Once a paper product is used, it is either burned, and returns the carbon to the atmosphere, or is buried in a landfill, actually removing carbon from the atmosphere. It will have either a negative or a zero-sum impact on the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

So if you have to choose, the earth loving choice is paper, but if you want to save money, reuse.

t’s that time of year again: cuffing season. But before everyone starts on a mission to find and secure their wintertime boo, we need to start asking each other the real questions: Have you recently been tested for sexually transmitted infections?

And if not, when are you going to get tested?

Syracuse University offers free STI screenings available to students throughout the school year. By offering free screenings, the university is lessening the taboo associated with sexual health, and they’re doing it in an accessible way.

There’s no excuse not to get tested.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017 released a report stating that the prevalence of certain STDs has reached a record high in the United States. A total of 2,295,739 STD cases, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, were reported.

Women between the ages of 15 and 24 account for nearly half of those reported cases and face the most severe consequences of an undiagnosed infection. “It is a common misconception that only certain types of people with high risk behaviors get STIs. However, these infections don’t discriminate. You don’t have to have multiple partners or ‘hook up a lot’ to get STIs. In fact, all

IDA B. WELLS’ DAUGHTER you need is one partner that is infected,� said Milena Garofalo, of Queen’s University’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, in an email.

STIs don’t prefer a person or anatomy to another — everyone could be infected and affected. “It all comes down to knowledge,� Garofalo said. “First and foremost, students need to be well informed about STIs and how to prevent them using safe sexual practices. We need to educate students about the risks and dispel myths and misconceptions. Provide sound and evidence based information.�

Garofalo said students need to prioritize conversations and counseling about birth control, STI campus screenings and invite speakers to colleges who are informed about STIs.

Veterans Day 2018

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

In their own words Seven current, former members of the United States military describe the significance of Veterans Day

It’s seeing all the older veterans getting the recognition that they deserve.

By Dan Lyon and Jordan Muller the daily orange

My kids grew up, and they’re in their 30s, and they know what Veterans Day is.

They couldn’t understand why some of their classmates didn’t know what it was about. It’s more than a day off, it’s about respecting our military and our veterans.

I think all in all, you get a little more sentimental with it because your friends are passing.

When I participate in Memorial and Veterans Day activities I know I’m doing it because I was a part of an organization that allows people to have freedoms.

Veterans Day is a day that I reflect a lot of friends that can’t be here to enjoy Veterans Day. Not only my friends that I lost in my war, but relatives I lost in other wars and all the people that have ever served, whether in a conflict or not.

It’s that time where we all come together and we get to see one another regardless if we served with them or not.

We’ve served and protected this country ... for families to have a free life.

We went through a period of time where it was just a federal holiday, and that was it.

Active-duty military students at SU reflect on what patriotism means

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

said this week that they appreciate such small gestures of appreciation. Sometimes, a “thank you� from a stranger has brought them to tears because the words meant so much — or because they served as a reminder of the people who have risked the life they’d always known for a military life.

For many active-duty military personnel and veterans, returning to civilian life isn’t easy. There can be a disconnect between those who serve and everyone else, active-duty personnel said. see military page 8

‘K9s for Warriors’ helps veterans recover with service dogs

By Brooke Kato asst. copy editor

Molly’s wet nose swept the tiled floors of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs as she let out a huff and laid beside her owner Adam LeGrand, a veteran and Maxwell graduate student. LeGrand unleashed her as he sat next to his colleagues — fellow veterans Louis Belluomini and Shilo Schluterman — and their dogs Star and Javelin.

The three dogs sported service vests with “DO NOT PET� written on the back in bold, white letters.

One laid under the table, another faced the door and one was at LeGrand’s feet, each dutifully on high alert.

Belluomini, LeGrand and Schluterman were in Syracuse this weekend for a screening of the film “A New Leash on Life: The K9s for Warriors Story.� The documentary,

which showed in Grant Auditorium on Saturday, features the three veterans who received their dogs free of charge from K9s For Warriors.

The organization aims to support veterans who return from service with post-traumatic stress disorder.

For these three veterans, their dogs are more than a tool to help with day-to-day recovery — they have become attached at the hip.

Schluterman served from 1999 to 2014 as an aircraft mechanic

and later in maintenance operations. Before getting Javelin, or Javie, Schluterman said she couldn’t imagine leaving her house. But just a few months ago, she traveled to Guatemala, a trip she said she couldn’t have done without her service dog. “You’re having to take so much medication to be there, but you’re not really present,� she said. “I didn’t even really engage, I was just a zombie. It was kind of like, ‘I’m sitting here, you see me, but

I’m empty.’�

After receiving Javie, she no longer takes the medications she used to.

LeGrand, who served as a medic from 2001 to 2011, has minimized his 20 daily medications down to just one, he said.

He compared his PTSD to an average bad day. After a bad day, someone can just get out of bed and carry on. But for him, it wasn’t that see canines page 8

military For that reason, a “thank you” can go a long way.

Below three active-duty military personnel in the military visual journalism program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications open up about military life, appreciation and what Veterans Day means to them.

Brianna Green, 26, Navy

Brianna Green and her wife, Melanie, were in New York City for Fleet Week, the city’s time-honored celebration of the sea services.

They polished off some sushi at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan and asked for the check.

When the server returned to their table, they looked at the bill. A stranger had taken care of part of it.

Green asked her waitress who had done the good deed. She pointed to another table.

Green and her wife got up, walked over and said hello.

“Do you have a military connection?”

Green recalled asking the woman who paid for part of their bill.

Sitting with her husband, the woman said her brother died while in the service. They both began to cry. Green hugged her.

“That moment was heart-to-heart, such a human connection,” Green said later. “That will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

Green is enrolled in Syracuse University’s military visual journalism program, which is 30 credits and takes less than one year, with the goal of developing her photography skills.

The program was established in 1963, and teaches active-duty service members photojournalism and broadcast journalism. Green wants to continue to document life in the Navy and tell similar stories of connection, gratitude and love.

A native of Stuart, Florida, Green graduated from Florida State University in 2013 with a degree in international affairs. She went back home to find work. She was fielding calls at a help desk when a disgruntled customer called at 5 a.m. threatening to sue. Green cried and then called Melanie, who suggested she from page 7

canines easy. Weeks of pizza boxes sat in his kitchen, he said, even though the trash was thirty feet outside his apartment.

Molly changed that for LeGrand. After receiving Molly, the new responsibility forced him to get outside, improving his life one day at a time. First, LeGrand checked the mail, and later, he was even able to go to the grocery store.

Not only does Molly help with everyday tasks, but she protects LeGrand by watching his surroundings.

“I don’t have to worry about the noise, it’s just me and my dog and whatever else. My dog makes that possible,” he said.

She even helps LeGrand with his parenting.

At his daughter’s gymnastic meets, where stadiums can reach up to 20,000 people, he said Molly helps him feel comfortable.

Molly works to calm him when he has night terrors, LeGrand said. He said Molly works faster than any drug he’s ever taken, and she makes him realize that he’s okay.

For Schluterman, Javie made life possible again too. When her mind is telling her she’s in Afghanistan, Javie brings her back to reality, she said. He’ll put his paws in her lap or his nose in her face in an attempt to calm her down and remind her that she’s in a classroom, not a war zone.

“I’m like, okay, I’m not being attacked because there’s this dog whose face is in my face,” she said, laughing. “It doesn’t match up with the physical touch of this dog’s wet nose.”

Belluomini, who served from 2006 to 2014 as a military police officer as well as doing psychological operations, said it was when his wife became pregnant that he realized he needed help.

Before receiving his service dog Star, he was dangerously sleepwalking, grabbing weapons in the middle of the night and waking up in a corner of the house. He said he hid his struggles for a long time because of his jobs — they would take his security clearance away if they found out he had PTSD. “I was trying to deal with it on my own, and I got too close to suicide, you know, too many times,” he said. “I’m just lucky that

should enlist in the military.

Green picked up her first camera just three years ago. She spent seven months in the Middle East area, as well as some time in Guatemala and Honduras, capturing scenes. In Guatemala, she took photographs of biomedical technicians in the Navy cleaning out old equipment in a hospital. She snapped photos of the Navy cleaning dry blood. She wants to highlight the Navy’s humanitarian efforts.

Every Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Green calls her cousin, who served, to wish her well and thank her. With a few years of active duty under her belt, Green has begun to realize how much the Navy has given her.

“This is the only job I’ll ever have where I’ll be thanked the rest of my life,” said Green, who wants to work for the United Nations after she serves. “For young people who may not know what they want to do, for people who want structure in their life, the Navy taught me to make my bed every morning and have small discipline.”

“The real unsung heroes on a day like Veterans Day,” Green continued, “is the spouses and support from family. We don’t always have access to a phone. Their support can make or break a career.”

Katy Macdonald, 29, Navy

Katy Macdonald began to choke up in Cafe Kubal on University Avenue last week. She was reflecting on her service and the honor of committing to the military.

“Veterans Day is a day to remember those who paved the path for us,” she said. “Lot of blood, lot of sacrifice. They sacrifice their lives, families, their time, their opinion.”

Macdonald, a Naples, Florida, native, was wiping away tears as she explained that most military personnel don’t return home the same. The experience changes you, she said, in ways you don’t imagine.

Once, a young girl walked up to her and said, “I’ve never seen a girl in a uniform before.”

“Young girls tell me I’m their hero,” Macdonald said. “They say, ‘I want to be just like you.’ It almost takes your breath away because we don’t even know each other.”

Among her friends in the military, MacI made it to the point that I got out of the military, got a different job, and could say, you know, I need help.”

In 2016, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reported that the suicide rate for veterans was one and a half times higher than that of nonveterans. For the three veterans, service dogs were their final resort, their last hope, said Schluterman.

Star gave Belluomini the opportunity to save lives again as a paramedic, something he wouldn’t have been able to do before. He utilizes Star for pediatrics — children will get in the ambulance and he’ll let them pet her so that they aren’t scared.

The process of getting a service dog from K9s For Warriors can take between 15 to 18 months, but for special circumstances like Belluomini’s, the process can be expedited.

LeGrand said there are efforts to quicken the process overall, but the training system for the dogs is long and extensive.

What got LeGrand through his three-year waiting period was planning the future for him and his dog and what they were going to do together once they were united.

“It’s the first time I cried for emotional pain, and I can’t tell you how many years it was. Easily two decades,” LeGrand said, as he thought back to meeting Molly for the first time. “I started crying my eyeballs out when I learned her name.”

Molly gave him the opportunity to live life again.

LeGrand expects that more service animals will be on campus with student veterans, but with that comes the need for educating people about service dogs, specifically when it’s appropriate to interact with them.

When service animals are on duty and people want to pet them, they can become overstimulated and unable to do their job for their owner, Schluterman said. She said some dogs might be able to handle one or two people interacting with them at the same time, but that it also depends on the day and the situation.

They’re not trying to be rude when they refuse to let someone pet their dogs, Belluomini said, but it’s hard to not sound rude when they say no. He said that if people see service dogs on campus and want to pet

donald knows several who have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. At first glance, that’s not noticeable, she said. Which is why a “thank you means the world to me,” she said.

When asked about the meaning of sacrifice, she thought about how she was the only woman leader in one of her commands. There were 67 people total. She wants to inspire women, and everyone else, to do anything by following their dreams, she said.

She conjured images of the wounded, the battered and the proud. She thought about the spouses who anxiously wait for their loved ones to return home, hopefully safely. She thought about the parents who say goodbye to their children as they go off to war. She thought about the missed weddings, graduations and other milestones service men and women give up.

And she thought about the misconceptions about the military — what type of person serves, why they serve and the ways in which they serve.

“A lot of people see us as robots, and hard, fast, people,” Macdonald said. “We’re people, we’re humans, we go through the same issues.

We have families. With that, I’d say every day is Veterans Day.”

Matthew DeVirgilio, 37, Army

Working 80-hour weeks in audio engineering wasn’t the life DeVirgilio wanted to live.

In 1999, he graduated from high school in his native Middletown, Delaware. He chased his passion for music by touring with some bands in southern California, then he found a full-time gig that had demanding hours but paid fairly well. But he DEVIRGILIO wanted more.

“I would say I had a midlife crisis,” DeVirgilio said. “I had no purpose. I was getting fat, which was a toll on my mental health. So I did something different: joined the service. I wanted to see the rest of the world.”

DeVirgilio has served five years in the Army and plans to serve 15 more. The service has

taken him to Alaska, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Afghanistan, plus Fort Bliss, Fort Lee, Fort Jackson, Fort Knox, Fort Meade and Fort Lewis. One of his skills: He can jump out of an aircraft to the ground below.

The real unsung heroes on a day like Veterans Day is the spouses and support from family.

Brianna Green active-duty navy personnel

He spent six months in Afghanistan last year and lived outside “on the front lines, in the sand” for three months. He weathered rain, wind and cool nights with a sleeping bag. His photos captured emotion, bombs exploding and injured men and women. He appreciates the privilege to serve for the U.S., which is something he describes as not necessarily a right.

“Some days, I reflect upon sacrifices that people before me offered,” DeVirgilio said. This gave him a “purpose and identity” to carry with himself for the rest of his life, he said.

For DeVirgilio, receiving a thank you for his service symbolizes the meaning of patriotism and shared purpose. He said while a simple thank you for his service can seem superficial, he is always appreciative of a stranger’s words. When he returned to civilian life for the visual journalism program at Syracuse, he discovered the perspective the military provided him.

“Think about sitting in traffic,” he said.

“You’re frustrated. When we’re over there serving, with bombs exploding, we’d be thrilled to sit in traffic. In a car you have AC, heat and a radio. So I feel now that nothing fazes me. When I get upset, I have this perspective that this ain’t so bad.”

“The Army has saved my life,” he added. mguti100@syr.edu | @MatthewGut21

them, they should ask first. If the owner says no, it’s not personal, but rather because the dog is on duty.

“Service animals are medical equipment,” he said. “People can read her vest that says ‘SERVICE DOG, DO NOT PET,’ but it doesn’t stop. Feel free to wave and say hi, but please don’t interact with the dog.”

The veterans’ service dogs act as both a tool and a companion to help their owners live everyday life. Without the dogs,

LeGrand said, they wouldn’t be where they are today.

“When they say a new leash on life — and the movie gets this great — it’s like my life started over again, and I had the opportunity to come back to school. I got the opportunity to do this,” he said. “Now when I get, like, two steps up, I’m like, this is higher than I’ve ever been. How many more steps can I go?” bkato@syr.edu

defense plus-minus. When they were on the ice, Syracuse allowed four of its five goals.

“I feel like we weren’t confident with the puck today, and we’re going to work on it this week in practice,” DiGirolamo said. “So hopefully next weekend we get better results.”

SU rebounded 1:34 into the second period, when freshman Marielle McHale capped off relentless pressure in front to cut the deficit in half, 2-1.

The physicality picked up in the second period. Junior Savannah Rennie left the game with 14:00 to play in the second because of an elbowing penalty on Princeton.

The score remained 2-1 until 7:17 left in the period when a Welch save rebounded right to the stick of a Princeton attacker, who ripped it into the open net for a 3-1 lead.

“Biggest thing for me is putting rebounds in corners, and that’s where they happened to be,” Welch said. “It was a tough bounce.”

SU was quick to answer. DiGirolamo wristed one from the point past Princeton’s goaltender with 3:30 to play, to return the deficit to one.

But another defensive breakdown left Welch helpless. Princeton scored their second one-on-one goal of the night to regain a twogoal advantage with 3:33 to play.

A strong shot by Lindsay Eastwood gave the Orange some life a minute later, but Princeton quickly countered with an empty net goal to finish the scoring barrage. tnolan@syr.edu

forwards Early season opponents have implored SU’s bigs to take advantage of one-on-one matchups. In Syracuse’s opener against North Dakota on Nov. 6, forwards took seven shots in the first quarter and converted on five of them.

Against Oregon on Nov. 10, Finklea-Guity and Djaldi-Tabdi combined for 19 points, and Engstler added nine points as a guard.

MADDI WELCH faces a shot attempt from Princeton. She allowed four goals on 18 shots faced in the 5-3 loss Sunday. An empty net goal was scored near the end of the game by Stephanie Sucharda. ally walsh staff photographer

With the exception of Finklea-Guity, all frontcourt members expect to efficiently shoot the deep ball, associate head coach Vonn Read said. SU’s bigs are encouraged to “freelance,” as opposed to playing as a traditional post.

The coaching staff established this to create defensive matchup problems.

Against North Dakota, Strautmane and Djaldi-Tabdi notched four fouls each. Finklea-Guity turned the ball over four times.

As SU challenged Oregon, Djaldi-Tabdi tal-

lied five turnovers, four of which came in the first frame.

Still, Hillsman isn’t concerned yet about his forwards. Last year, he didn’t have enough bigs to properly handle foul trouble.

“Last year, we were so young in every category,” Hillsman said. “... We hit the wall.

Hopefully this year we won’t be in that position because we’re deep enough.”

In the first quarter against North Dakota, backup point guard Kiara Lewis slashed to

the rim with the Orange trailing. She noticed Djaldi-Tabdi lurking in the paint. The guard flung the pass inside, and Djaldi-Tabdi worked left and connected on a hook shot with her right hand. Finklea-Guity was on the sidelines, and for the first time in two seasons, SU had a post presence.

“We haven’t had to ease (the forwards) along because they’ve been doing well,” Hillsman said. “We’ve been thankful for that.” nialvare@syr.edu

Faceoff struggles continue Syracuse dominates against for Orange during 5-3 loss Georgia Tech in straight sets

By Danny Emerman staff writer

A day after Syracuse lost the faceoff battle, 46-16, the Orange won just 20 of 63 faceoffs in their 5-3 loss against Princeton (4-2-2, 3-0-1 College Hockey America) on Sunday in Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion.

Heading into the weekend series against the Tigers, SU (4-7-1, 4-2-0) had an average faceoff record, winning 49.4 percent. After winning 16 of 62 in Saturday night’s loss and 20 of 63 on Sunday night, SU’s season average has dipped to 45.8 percent.

“We talked before the game tonight that, if you’re getting beat consistently you have to change your tactic.,” SU head coach Paul Flanagan said after the game. “Typically, that’s get underneath her stick before she can get the puck. Tie her up, maybe kick it to a D or wing.

But we kept trying to win them clean.”

Flanagan’s message was almost identical to the one he gave after Saturday’s loss, when he credited trying to win the puck cleanly as the reason SU struggled. The faceoff disparities are out of character for the Orange, as they typically go about “60-40,” Flanagan said.

Winning faceoffs is key because it gives the Orange extra possessions and potential

scoring opportunities, defenseman Jess DiGirolamo said.

On SU’s first goal, freshman forward Marielle McHale won a faceoff in the left-hand circle. The puck flew out to defenseman Allie Olnowich, who wristed a shot on goal from the blue line. McHale crashed the net and was ready to collect the rebound and slot it in.

“We just need to keep going to the net,” McHale said. “That’s what we stressed a lot all week.”

McHale’s second career goal cut Princeton’s lead to 2-1 in the second period. The faceoff that set up the goal was the lone faceoff McHale won, though. She lost her other 10.

Syracuse’s freshman forward Lauren Bellefontaine had the most faceoff success, winning seven and losing nine. Senior Brooke Avery won nine and lost 16.

With just over two minutes left in the game, Lindsay Eastwood scored a goal that brought SU within one of Princeton, 4-3. A minute later, though, Princeton’s Karlie Lund beat Brooke Avery on a faceoff, which led to an empty-net goal for the Tigers, sealing the game.

“Even when they’re 50/50 pucks, (Princeton) was getting possession,” Flanagan said. “Kudos to them. They’re well coached in that area.”

By Eric Storms staff writer

On Sunday, Syracuse (16-7, 12-3 Atlantic Coast) continued its quest for its first-ever NCAA tournament berth by defeating Georgia Tech (16-12, 5-10) in straight sets, 3-0, on the road in Atlanta, Ga. Despite the quick ending, the first set was a seesaw affair. The set saw 19 ties and eight lead changes with no team leading by more than three. The set was extended all the way to 28-27, Syracuse, before Kendra Lukacs’ serve prompted a return error by Georgia Tech’s Matti McKissock to end the set 29-27.

The Yellow Jackets jumped out to a 7-3 lead to start the second, but the Orange fired back with an 11-2 run, making it 14-9.

Syracuse went up by as much as nine before a late push by Georgia Tech. It looked like Syracuse had won the set 25-20 when a Georgia Tech hit sailed out of bounds, but the call was challenged and overturned, with the referees ruling it had touched a Syracuse player first.

The temporary change in momentum did not affect the Orange, however, as a kill by Santita Ebangwse on the next play ended the set at 25-21.

carter-williams Carter-Williams said that, lately, he is constantly reinventing himself. Getting to the NBA is one thing — it was a dream fulfilled in itself — but staying there presents another challenge. He’s on his fifth different team, where he’s averaging 13.9 minutes per game this season. But that isn’t quite the full picture: NBA free agency, roster moves and a series of injuries haven’t aided in CarterWilliams’ development since his breakout rookie campaign.

He was recruited heavily by Mike Hopkins since the start of high school. The SU brass spotted him at a Syracuse camp and locked in on him as a target. But the former ESPN fivestar recruit played only sparingly during Big East play that season behind Brandon Triche, a four-year starter at point guard. Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said he knows Carter-Williams was impatient on the bench that season. For a brief period, Carter-Williams considered transferring.

Yet, he stayed on and became the Orange’s best player on a balanced 2012-13 team that made the Final Four. Before he was a longarmed, integral member at the top of the 2-3 zone his sophomore season, he had been playing limited minutes.

Carter-Williams doesn’t want his life to be defined by what he does on the basketball court. As a Syracuse freshman, Carter-Williams met the woman who would soon become his girlfriend, Tia Shah, at Harry’s Bar on South Crouse Avenue. He

said they started dating in September 2012, at the start of his sophomore year, and they remain together six years later. He proposed to her this year — she said yes — and they will get married next summer in Santa Barbara, California.

Carter-Williams’ iPhone background screen is a picture of their daughter, Charleigh, who was born on July 28.

“The NBA life can feel unsettling,” CarterZegarowski said. “Living on your own, not really being a part of the community, it’s been tough. He’s a family guy. People watch the NBA but don’t understand that it can be lonely because you don’t know anyone.”

“With Tia and the baby now there with him in Houston, it gives him a sense of security that you’re coming home to a family,” CarterZegarowski added. “It’s a bit of distraction, a break, from basketball.”

Carter-Williams isn’t worried about his next job. An hour before tip-off Nov. 2, Carter-Williams sat by his locker at the Barclays Center scrolling through text messages. A few lockers down, Carmelo Anthony prepared to get medical treatment by a team trainer. Both went to Syracuse, where they starred and became top NBA draft picks.

Then and now, Carter-Williams reflected on who he needs to become.

He looked down at the bracelets on each of his wrists. He rubbed them.

“At Syracuse I had one of the most important years of my life, facing adversity and not playing,” he said. “What I needed then is what I need now: some patience.” mguti100@syr.edu

Syracuse’s passing game didn’t need to be sharp against Louisville — the Orange rushed to the tune of 326 yards and five touchdowns — but the passing attack that was so dominant against North Carolina State has been largely absent since.

Wake Forest sold out entirely to stop the

In the third set, Syracuse never trailed despite Georgia Tech tying it once at 14-14.

An 11-4 run closed out the match for the Orange, winning the set 25-18.

It was an efficient afternoon for SU, which finished with a hitting percentage of .333 while holding Georgia Tech to only .159. The Yellow Jackets committed 22 attack errors to Syracuse’s 13 and also committed two more service errors than the Orange.

Once again it was freshman star Polina Shemanova leading the way for Syracuse with 16 kills and a .500 hitting percentage. Amber Witherspoon chipped in 12 kills of her own, hitting .556 and also contributing five blocks. Jalissa Trotter and Dana Valelly both had good days setting, finishing with 25 and 18 assists, respectively.

The win helps Syracuse keep its tournament aspirations alive as any loss now could leave Syracuse (currently ranked No. 33 in RPI) teetering on the wrong side of the bubble. SU will try to maintain its tournament resume when they next take the court on Sunday at 1 p.m. against Virginia Tech in the Women’s Building. estorms@syr.edu

pass a week ago, so SU just ran its way to victory. Eric Dungey was OK against the Demon Deacons, and he was again OK on Friday against the Cardinals. He finished 14-for-27 for 192 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Scoop Bradshaw

The usual starter at cornerback opposite Christopher Fredrick, Bradshaw started Friday’s game on the bench, as Dino Babers opted to start freshman Trill Williams.

Switching out Bradshaw and Williams comes after two weeks of Bradshaw struggling — first against Kelvin Harmon and North Carolina State and then against Scottie Washington and Wake Forest.

Bradshaw did end up playing some on Friday but ultimately left the game with an apparent left wrist injury. After leaving the field for the locker room, Bradshaw came back out with a sling on his left arm.

Babers offered no update on the junior cornerback after the game and Bradshaw’s outlook remains unclear. aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

FAMILIAR ROLE Michael CarterWillliams embraces NBA backup spot

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

N

MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS played guard for Syracuse throughout two seasons – 2011 to 2013. daily orange file photo

EW YORK — In middle school, Michael Carter-Williams was handed an evaluation at a basketball camp that labeled him with “Division III potential.� He hung the evaluation on his bedroom wall and looked at it every morning when he woke up for workouts before school.

Carter-Williams kept the evaluation hung even when he arrived at Syracuse, where he met his fiancĂŠ, developed the mantra for his basketball life and saw his career trajectory begin to take shape.

As a sophomore at SU, his family home in Hamilton, Massachusetts, burned down in March 2013. With it, the paper on his wall vanished in the flames. But he found a new way to remind himself of his progression since middle school and the people who have questioned him and his abilities. On each of his wrists, he wears a white bracelet that reads, “Made to Last.�

Lately, the message carries greater meaning.

Carter-Williams, 27, has played only sparingly for the Houston Rockets so far this season and hasn’t been a consistent force in the NBA since his Rookie of the Year campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers four and a half years ago. He’s taken an unusual route from NBA star to the end of the rotation: His minutes have declined each of the past five seasons. “His first year at Syracuse prepared him for this,� said his mother, Amanda Carter-Zegarowski. “I said to him the other day: ‘Just go back to what you were doing at Cuse. You worked longer and harder hours when you weren’t playing. Late at night, two-a-days.’ He took out some of that frustration by working harder.�

His limited playing time with the Rockets, who were a game short of the 2018 NBA Finals, has forced him to assess himself and look back to a familiar period in his life: his freshman year at Syracuse. “In games like these, when I don’t play a lot, it challenges you,� Carter-Williams said Nov. 2, after the Rockets beat the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center, where he played five minutes. “It’s tough. I have to keep working and see how I can grow.�

Robinson, Neal rise in stock watch

By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

No. 13 Syracuse (8-2, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) rolled Louisville (2-8, 0-7), 54-23, on senior night in the Carrier Dome.

Capitalizing on UofL turnovers on four-straight drives, SU built a 44-7 lead at one point. With the win, SU cruises into New York City for a matchup with No. 3 Notre Dame — which just beat Florida State 42-13 — on Saturday in Yankee Stadium.

Here’s whose stock is up, or down, after trouncing the Cardinals.

STOCK UP Alton Robinson

Robinson continued his dominant junior season with a two-sack performance against Louisville on Friday. Robinson also recovered a fumble in the win.

UofL right tackle Lukayus McNeil proved to be no match, and even when Robinson didn’t get home to a Louisville quarterback, he consistently collapsed the pocket and forced UofL quarterbacks off their spots.

After UofL quarterback Jawon Pass fumbled a read option exchange with a running back, Robinson fell on the ball. He got up, palmed the ball in his right hand and swung his arms wildly, high stepping and celebrating the turnover.

Robinson is currently tied for seventh in the country with nine sacks on the season.

Moe Neal

Neal took his first touch of the game 67 yards up the middle for a touchdown. He took another 68 yards and inside the Louisville 10.

After eight carries, Neal had 159 yards and two touchdowns.

Friday’s performance marked a bit of a return to the limelight for Neal, who has existed on the fringes of Syracuse’s offense since a fumble against North Carolina.

Forwards’ height yields advantage Defense lets SU down in 5-3 loss to Princeton

By Nick Alvarez staff writer

At Syracuse’s first media availability of the season, Quentin Hillsman clasped the wooden podium with his hands and tilted his head to the right. As he surveyed his players, he could visually see the difference between this year’s roster compared to last year’s.

His eyes traveled from his old forwards last year — 6-foot-4 Amaya Finklea-Guity, 6-foot-2 Digna Strautmane and, by necessity, 5-foot8 Raven Fox — to the newcomers who will “balance� his 3-point heavy

offense: 6-foot-2 Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi and 6-foot-1 Emily Engstler. “We have a lot of depth this year that’s going to play faster,â€? Hillsman said, â€œâ€Ś I think we really opened our offense up and (are) adding presence to those two that we already had.â€?

No. 18 Syracuse (1-1), through three first-year players, has developed a height in its offense it didn’t have a year ago. The recruitment of Engstler and Kadiatou Sissoko provides SU long ball handlers. DjaldiTabdi, after redshirting her freshman season, allows the Orange to play a backup center who isn’t a converted guard. Hillsman hoped

that the offense would sprout from a “culture of competition.�

Through two games, Syracuse has nearly doubled its opponents’ points in the paint total (78-42), dominated North Dakota and almost upset No. 3 Oregon. The Orange’s next opponent, No. 20 Texas A&M, will test the bigs unit this Wednesday with its four 6-foot-2-plus forwards. “We’re definitely going to be a balanced offense, and we’re going to dare you to help,â€? Hillsman said. “Because if you help, we can still shoot it. ‌ I feel good about us scoring.â€? see forwards page 9

By Tim Nolan staff writer

Nearly four minutes into the game, the Princeton Tigers only had three shots on goal, but two found the back of the net.

Princeton (4-2-2, 3-0-1 College Hockey America) maintained their early lead for the entirety of the game, defeating SU (4-7-1, 4-3-1), 5-3, at Tennity Ice Pavilion on Sunday. The Orange are now 0-4-1 on home ice.

Princeton’s first goal came 1:55

into the first period after a turnover deep in SU’s zone. Then, an Orange giveaway at the attacking blue line gave Maggie Connors a one-on-one with goalie Maddi Welch. Connors overmatched Welch and put the Tigers up 2-0. The senior goaltender allowed four goals on 19 shots before she was pulled from the game.

But the blame doesn’t fall solely on Welch, Flanagan said. Two SU defenders — Shelby Calof and Jessica DiGirolamo — registered a -4 see defense page 9
