OPINIONS

HOW I SEE IT...

Michael Perry EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Syracuse Men’s Basketball had a better season than most expected. Until conference play started they looked like one of the better teams in their conference. Despite the tough loss to Houston to end the season, it was a fun year of Cuse hoops. Many fans wanted to see head coach Jim Boeheim give younger guys more playing time, but that is simply not the way Boeheim coaches. He likes strict rotations and experienced players, and he has very little patience for error.

It’s his 45th season and he is one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history, can you really blame him?

The fun part is thinking about next year. We are sure to lose some players to the transfer portal (players transferring to a different college) as most colleges will this offseason. However, Buddy Boeheim has made it clear that he is coming back next year. Alan Griffin already transferred to SU from Illinois so it’s unlikely that he’ll transfer again. This team is poised for a great season next year. Especially considering Jesse Edwards.

Edwards saw little playing team during the regular season, but toward the end he got some run. He was extremely impressive and rapidly improved.

He is a nightmare for opposing offenses, swatting shots and clogging passing lanes. To the rest of the country, watch out. You should be scared of this Syracuse team come next season.

The festival will accept short narrative films, animated films and documentaries.

In recognition of the Auburn area’s historic contributions, organizers also established a special category for documentaries addressing human rights issues.

“We’re really excited to offer filmmakers in New York State the opportunity to showcase their work at the festival. As a filmmaker, being able to watch a project that I’ve spent months planning and creating with an audience, and hearing the reaction to it is a really surreal and exciting experience,” said Festival Director Juliette Zygarowicz. “I would invite any filmmaker who hasn’t screened their work to an audience to consider submitting.”

Opening the festival to students and directors younger than 30 years of age offers those budding filmmakers a chance for feedback and encouragement as they consider careers in the film industry, said Cayuga Professor and Festival Executive Director Steve Keeler.

MEET THE COLLEGIAN STAFF TWO NEW TRUSTEES Michael Perry EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Hello all! Some life updates for me. As some of you may know, I am graduating from Cayuga this spring. I had planned on attending SUNY Oswego after CCC, but after lots of consideration, I will be entering the work force instead.

I currently work at an answering service, so if you call your doctor’s office after 4 PM, you may

run into me over the phone!

I have my own YouTube page, Perry Much So, where I talk about the Syracuse Men’s Basketball team and the New York Knicks. I recently became a contributing writer for The Lead, a sports blog that covers the NBA. My son turns one-year-old this May. My girlfriend is graduating from the Cayuga BOCES LPN program in July, I have three cats, (Lila, Lucy, and Leo), and two dogs, (Luka & Toby).

As far as my future goes, I want to work in sports media in some capacity whether it be as an announcer, camera operator, show host, etc. With that said, who knows where I’ll end up or what I’ll be doing. As long as its something I enjoy where I can get paid, that is good enough for me.

COVID CAN’T CURB CLUB RESILIENCE

By Corinne Stevens, staff writer The extracurricular activities at Cayuga Community College are a big part of an alternate education for Cayuga students.

Corinne Stevens STAFF WRITER Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Cayuga’s wide variety of clubs has had to adapt to the drastic changes put in place to protect students and staff. Club advisors of the Anime Manga Club, as well as the Engineering and Technical Club, say they have both had difficulties adjusting to new protocols.

great way for Cayuga and our School of Media and the Arts to support students and emerging filmmakers. There aren’t many local opportunities for students to feature their films in a competitive and encouraging environment, and at the same time receive feedback from professionals. Our festival provides those opportunities across several film genres,” said Keeler.

The festival will recognize filmmakers in three categories: high school students, college students of any age, and emerging filmmakers, defined as younger than 30 years of age.

In each category, awards will be given for the best narrative, short animation, and short and long documentary (defined as less than 10 minutes and between 10 and 30 minutes, respectively). Short narrative films must be less than 15 minutes, and short animation films must be less than five minutes.

Filmmakers can submit more than one film.

Film submissions are due by June 1, and can be submitted virtually at www.filmfreeway.com/CayugaFilmFestival. Official selections for the festival will be announced on October 1. Films must be completed in New York, and must have been made between March 2020 and June 1, 2021.

NEW FILM FESTIVAL DEBUTS IN NOVEMBER

“It’s a lot of extra work on myself and my club officers,” said John Campbell, the Faculty Advisor of the Engineering and Technical Club. He says the club serves as an additional resource for students to expand their familiarity of technology and engineering. Campbell says they often plan a wide variety of events spanning from tutorials of making jewelry, to visiting a manufacturing plant that specializes in making high production engines for Corvettes.

Campbell said, although the club has made changes to their events and activities, he feels the students do not get as much out of the experience using the online platform Zoom. “This is the most challenging year with my Club ever!” said Campbell.

The College’s Anime Manga Club faculty advisor Greg Sevik said the Club has also experienced the same limitations, what is usually an in-person discussion, is now an online meeting, which has proven to show less interaction as fewer members participate. “I think people miss the camaraderie of meeting and talking in person; I know I do,” said Sevik.

He explains, the Anime Manga Club focuses on popular Japanese Animation formats. He says the club discusses their favorite sub-genre of Anime right before taking a vote on which show or movie to watch and discuss for the day.

“Pre-Pandemic Anime Club engaged in fundraisers and other on- campus events, like many other clubs,” said Sevik.

“The biggest event is the Tora-Con Anime Convention that takes place in Rochester each year. Unfortunately, that event was canceled last year because of the Pandemic.

This year, it will take place virtually.”

SPORTS SPARTANS SOFTBALL DROPS SEASON OPENER TO SUNY ADIRONDACK TIMBERWOLVES The Cayuga Community College Spartans Softball Team started its 2021 season slowly on Saturday, falling in both halves of an away doubleheader to SUNY Adirondack.

Playing their first games in more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cayuga lost 9-2 and 19-2 to a solid-hitting Timberwolves team. Cayuga Coach Chris Amoia said the Spartans are still getting up-to-speed after an abbreviated spring training.

“We haven’t had as long a spring training as some other teams, and I think it showed a bit today in some of the mistakes we made. It’s early in the season, though, so there’s plenty of time for us to keep getting

better,” said Amoia. The opening game was scoreless for the first three innings before the Timberwolves plated seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Spartans fought back with two runs in the top of the fifth but were unable to narrow the Timberwolves’ lead the rest of the way.

Gabrielle Hass finished three-for-four to lead Cayuga’s offense.

In the second game, the Timberwolves pushed runs across in the first inning to take an early lead. Cayuga scored two in the top of the second to close the gap, but SUNY Adirondack continued to build on its advantage. Kyra Cotrill, Makayla Titus, and Abigail Marinelli had hits for the Spartans.

BRAZILIAN MUSIC GROUP PERFORMS VIRTUAL SHOW, DESPITE MINOR ISSUES

By Josh Hart, staff writer College students from Cayuga and Tompkins Counties were recently given a rare opportunity to hear the musical styles of Brazil, played by actual Brazilian musicians, live on Zoom. However, the March 25th webinar took a few extra minutes to get going, due to some design flaws in Zoom’s technology.

Joshua D. Hart STAFF WRITER At the very start of the band’s performance, the music could be heard at first, but very quietly. Then after only a few seconds, as more students started joining in, the sound of the band’s music dropped out completely, for five minutes.

Regardless, the band still continued to play despite the fact that none of their audio was coming through. Many attendees used Zoom’s chat feature to leave comments: “There is no sound.” and “Sound is not working.” The host of the show, Rafael Torralvo da Silva, apologized and said that the program’s staff was working to fix the issue.

Eventually, the staff figured out the lack of sound was caused by Silva’s computer’s microphone being piped into the band’s recording studio. The problem was immediately corrected, and the band was able to play a full hour of music without any further interference.

The live presentation was put on by Cornell University’s Latin Brazilian musician and American Studies host Rafael Torralvo da Program, of which Silva Rodrigo Müller Silva is the host.

The show itself was called “Clube da Esquina”, named after a famous Brazilian Artists Collective group from the 60’s and 70’s.

The actual band was a small group of Brazilian Musicians, that was put together

by Rodrigo Müller, a famous oboist who

played with the São Paulo State Symphonic Band from 2001 to 2017.

Cayuga’s Art Professor, Melissa Johnson, was able to ask the band how long they’ve been performing together. Silva says that the performers were all experienced musicians who came together for the first time specifically for this show!

The concert program included ten songs, all of which were written and composed by musical artist Emanuel Massaro, who played guitar during the performance.

Each of Massaro’s songs explored a different aspect of the musical scene of the famous city of São Paulo in Southeastern Brazil. The production presented a style similar to the music of the original “Clube da Esquina” group, combining a mixture of Bossa Nova, Jazz, Progressive Rock, Folk, and Classical.

Throughout the program, Silva would frequently put the titles of the songs in the Zoom Chat. On some occasions, Silva would even provide the English translation of the song titles, all of which were translated using Google Translator. Additionally, Silva even provided brief thank you messages to the performers and attendees, in both English and Brazilian Languages.

At the conclusion of the performance, Johnson thanked the performers for their beautiful music and told them that it made her day. Other attendees briefly chimed in with similar compliments before Silva then ended the program.

Samples of the band’s music will be featured in an upcoming episode of Cayuga BYTES.

Dominant starting pitching led the Cayuga Community College Spartans Baseball Team to their first wins of the 2021 season Saturday in a home doubleheader against SUNY Adirondack.

Starting pitchers Austin Doyle-Miller and Greg Osterhout stifled the Timberwolves’ bats in both contests, leading the Spartans to 4-2 and 1-0 wins, respectively. The wins brought Cayuga to a 2-6 record on the season.

“We made some adjustments in our mental approach to the games today, and I think it showed in our defense and intensity. But it started with our starting pitching, with Austin throwing a strong first game and Greg continuing that approach in the second game,” said Cayuga Coach TJ Gamba. “They set the tone for us today, and our defense made enough plays behind them to get both wins.”

The first contest started slow for Cayuga, as the Timberwolves pushed two unearned runs across in the top of the first inning. The Spartans knotted the score in the bottom of the first with a leadoff walk by Alex Wurster, a double by Tyler Ziemak and a one-out single

by Sam Jenkins.

The Spartans took the lead for good in the bottom of the third, with Jenkins driving in Ziemak with a sacrifice fly, and tacked on another run in the fourth. That was all the help Doyle-Miller would need, as he threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing only three hits and striking out six. Andrew Roy and Zach Nickerson combined to hold the Timberwolves scoreless the rest of the way.

The second game ran scoreless into the 10th inning, with Osterhout and the Timberwolves’ Terel Tillman matching zerofor-zero on the scoreboard. Both pitchers went the distance, but Cayuga’s Brendan Williams drove-in Wurster with a two-out infield single to complete the sweep for the Spartans.

Osterhout scattered five hits, walked none and struck out five in the shutout victory.

Catcher Andrew Boglione was two-for-four with two doubles, and Hazel Martinez was two-for-four with a double.

The Cayuga Community College Spartans Men’s Baseball team’s away doubleheader ON Sunday at SUNY Adirondack was postponed.

The games are now scheduled for 2 and 4 P.M. on Tuesday, March 30.

Cayuga leadoff hitter Gabriella Bard scores the first run of the Spartans’ 18-17 win over SUNY Adirondack on Sunday, March 28. The Spartans scored seven runs in the final inning for the comeback win.

SPARTAN SOFTBALL WINS HISTORIC HOME OPENER WITH 7TH INNING RALLY A dramatic seven-run seventh inning lifted the Cayuga Community College Spartans Softball Team to a thrilling 18-17 win over SUNY Adirondack on Sunday.

Playing their first contest at Falcon Park, the Spartans built an early 9-1 lead but had to overcome a 17-11 deficit in the final inning to defeat the Timberwolves. The win lifts the Spartans to 1-2 on the season.

Cayuga Coach Chris Amoia credited the team for their determination to get the season’s first win after losing twice to the same SUNY Adirondack team on Saturday.

“This team has incredible heart. After the way we lost yesterday, and then thinking about it the whole drive home, it can be tough to come back the next day and play the same team,” said Amoia. “Then to get the lead today but then fall behind, they kept fighting and coming back. I’m proud of them.”

The offensive fireworks started early for the Spartans. Doubles by Abigail Marinelli, Olivia Maassen and Kyra Cotrill helped Cayuga build a five-run lead in the first inning. Marinelli smashed a solo home run over the leftfield scoreboard in the second, and singles by Kate Stoddard and Gabriella Bard drove in three more runs in the third to stake Cayuga to a 9-1 lead.

SUNY Adirondack struck back over the next four innings, plating six runs in the fourth, four in the fifth and three runs each in the sixth and seventh innings.

Faced with a six-run deficit in the seventh, the Spartans loaded the bases with no outs.

Four straight singles and a fielder’s choice left the Spartans trailing 17-16 with two runners on base and one out. Stoddard sliced a single into the outfield, driving in Cotrill and Skyler White for the tying and winning runs, respectively.

“Kate Stoddard sliced a single into the outfield, driving in Cotrill and Skyler White for the tying and winning runs, respectively.”

Cotrill and Marinelli led the Spartans’ attack, with Cotrill finishing five-for-five with three doubles, two runs scored and five RBI. Marinelli finished three-for-five with two doubles, a homer and three runs scored. Maasen, White, Stoddard and Taylor Hunter each recorded multiple hits for Cayuga.

The second half of the scheduled doubleheader was rained out. The Spartans take the field Friday, April 2, with an away doubleheader at Jefferson Community College. First pitch is scheduled for noon.

SPARTANS LOSE TWO TO FINGER LAKES

Brazilian musician Rodrigo Müller

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24: The bats went quiet for the Cayuga Community College Baseball Team on Wednesday, as the Spartans dropped both halves of a home doubleheader to Finger Lakes Community College.

In their third consecutive home doubleheader to open the season, the Spartans put plenty of runners on-base but couldn’t come up with timely hits, losing 8-2 and 4-0 to the Lakers. The losses drop Cayuga to 0-6 on the season.

Cayuga Coach TJ Gamba noted the Spartans improved defensively and on the mound in both games, but that there were still mistakes to clean-up.

“Our pitching took some definite strides today. I think we’re heading in the right direction. We still made some mistakes defensively,

ESSENTIALS OF ART STUDENTS SHARE THEIR WORK

THREE- DIMENSIONAL DESIGN PROJECT: This design was inspired by the Maya god Kukulkan which is a giant winged serpent. I tried to focus in my design on capturing the snake body and feathered extravagance of the creature. As shown, the piece is free-standing. I used some coat hangers along the body to strengthen the structure of the figure and to create the base for the wings. Most of the base of the creature was also made of newspaper (pretty much all the larger base structure was mad entirely of newspaper and duct tape). I tried

adding complexity by adding large wings coming off the body and by adding many small structures like teeth, spikes, and feather across it. The surface is clearly united through a layer of paper mache across most of it. The base of the creature was painted a solid dark green color. The teeth, spikes and eyes were all painted a different color to differentiate them more clearly. If I were to add one thing to the piece however, it would probably be giving it a proper snake’s tongue, but I just didn’t have the time to do so.

THREE- DIMENSIONAL DESIGN PROJECT: This piece is by Mechatronics major, freshman Philip Mcdonald. The piece is 3.5 feet length, 2 feet across.

THREE- DIMENSIONAL DESIGN PROJECT: I started this project by making a small whale named Billy out of rolled up newspaper and paper mache. It took me about an hour to make and was about 10 inches in length. I liked it, but I realized that it would not meet the criteria of the project and most importantly it was not something I was proud of. Instead, I decided to aim bigger. I started my new whale, Willy, by making a cardboard skeleton.

The structure was loose enough to have an organic

flow but rigid enough to hold paper mache. Still I had to reinforce it with strips of paper in order to be able to lay the newspaper strips correctly. Next, I covered the fins with paper mache and attached them with hot glue. Lastly was the paint. I kept it simple and painted the top a dark blue and the bottom white. In my opinion, this is my best project yet.

I really thought I would have trouble working in the pure 3D realm but I am proud of what I was able to come up with.
