STUDENTS CELEBRATE SERVICE AT PMADD

GETTING TO GARDEN

explained his juicing process over the noise of various processing equipment, zipping forklifts and the chatter of children on a field trip outside.

Soergel’s uses seven types of apples in its cider — red delicious, golden delicious, ida red, jonathan, macintosh, gala and honeycrisp — which Voll rattled off as quickly as someone would be able to list their siblings. They’re mixed together in the final product, which makes for slightly different flavor notes in each jug.

The apples are stored in 20-bushels, or big boxes, each yielding about 75 gallons of juice after pressing.

Stacked floor to ceiling, the unpressed fruits wait for workers in a 34-degree walk-in refrigerator along with the completed bottles of cider.

To start the juicing process, workers forklift one

The Pitt News Staff This isn’t the first time Jack Eschmann’s been on an urban farm. Standing outside on the chilly, rainy Saturday, the first-year engineering major said the garden is familiar territory for him.

“I’ve done it throughout all of high school,” Eschmann said of urban farm projects, “So it was pretty awesome that I got to do that.”

More than 4,000 students joined Eschmann this Saturday for Pitt Make a Difference Day. Students registered for the day of service as individuals or with a group, and worked at an assigned site doing a wide variety of community service acts.

Janine Fisher, director of marketing and communications of student affairs, said students worked with more than 100 community partners at this year’s PMADD, many of which already have a relationship with the University through PittServes, who organized PMADD. “[PittServes] does service throughout the year,” Fisher said. “That’s a relationship they have put in place.”

Managing an event with thousands of students and more than 100 sites isn’t a small undertaking, but it’s one Fisher is happy to be a part of.

“It’s a big ordeal … we really need support from all angles to pull it off,” Fisher said. “I just like to do my part … I’m a Pitt alumni, and this wasn’t here when I was here.”

This is Pitt’s 11th annual PMADD, a tradition that Pitt’s Student Government Board began in 2007. According to Shawn Ahearn, director of communications for the division of student affairs, in a previous article by The Pitt News, SGB started PMADD as a spinoff of Make a Difference

THE CORE OF CIDER: FOLLOWING THE PROCESS FROM TREE TO MUG Alexa Marzina Staff Writer

Nothing screams “autumn” like cozying up in a plush sweater with a drink — of apple cider, of course — in hand. And for Pitt students in search of a local cup of the fall beverage, they won’t need to travel far.

Soergel Orchards, located about a half hour north from campus, crafts its own apple cider in-house at its Wexford location. They sell the finished product in Soergel’s Market and ship it elsewhere, like Mercy Hospital and the Penn State cafeteria, to sell.

“I’m sure that’s not what you want to hear, though,” Larry Voll, a co-owner of Soergel’s whose children are Penn State alumni, said.

Soergel’s cider-making process is housed in a barn on the farm’s property. Cider-making may

appear complicated amid a mess of machines and noises, but at its core, making cider is an intuitive craft — squish apples, make juice. To get to the source, makers don’t have to travel far. It all starts in the backyard.

Co-owner Larry Voll said with the 7,000 gallons of cider produced each week in the fall, Soergel’s just doesn’t grow enough apples itself to sustain the juicing. So, it brings in apples from places such as New Castle and Chambersburg to supplement its apple supply.

“It’s the cider season!” Voll said.

Though business owners often don suits and sit in offices, Voll’s stomping ground is the cider house — where he arrives as early as 6:15 a.m. every day, clad in a long, dark-green rubbery apron, tall black boots and noise-reducing ear covers. As the morning wore on, Voll quickly and excitedly

20-bushel of apples at a time into a machine that dumps the apples onto a large green receiving table.

The apples then go through a washing station and are pushed onto an elevator. The apples creep slowly upwards, then drop through a chamber that contains blades that pulverize them into what Voll says is basically applesauce.

Next comes the actual juicing process. The applesauce is poured through a hose and layered between sheets of a nylon blend and plastic spacers.

After 15 layers, they are slid into a machine press that applies 55 tons of force to the stack, raining a steady stream of apple juice.

It goes into a vat under the machine, where it’s transported through a maze of tubes into the next room into a holding vat. Each holds about 600 to 700 gallons of juice.

The solid matter left at the end of the process — which seems minimal compared to the vast juice content — gets dumped into a trough and pushed into a dump trailer outside the building, to be used as fertilizer at the orchard or given to local farmers to feed to their pigs.

“There’s a seed. This is the meat of the apple … the skin,” Voll said, examining a mass of apple

PMAAD, pg. 1 Day, a national organization that plans a day of service in communities across the country.

Seeing success in the event’s first years, PittServes started releasing surveys to obtain student feedback.

Beginning with the 2012 survey, 96 percent of 2,556 PMADD participants noted that they planned on volunteering in the future. This trend continued, and in the 2016 survey, 97.5 percent of 3,850 attendees reported that they planned on once again volunteering through PMADD. “There was some uncertainty that first year about whether or not we could actually pull off the logistics of sending a couple thousand students out into the communities on school buses,” Vice Provost and Dean of Students Kenyon Bonner said in a 2017 press release. “But our students, staff and faculty rose to the occasion, and it has been very rewarding to be a part of a program that has grown so much during the past decade.”

Residence halls and several clubs, such as Pitt

pulp in his gloved hand. “Everything that isn’t the juice.”

Voll said that Soergel’s pasteurizing process is the same as a dairy’s. A series of pipes carries the cold, unpasteurized apple juice to the heater, where it is heated to 172 degrees by steam for at least 10 seconds to kill all the potential bacteria and impurities. It’s then transferred to another holding tank overnight to allow all the sediment to fall to the bottom.

From there, it’s bottled in-house and sold in their market by the gallon, half gallon, quart and pint. Currently, they also offer seasonal cherry and honeycrisp flavors.

Soergel Orchards also hosts a branch of Arsenal Cider House, a Lawrenceville-based ciderhouse and wine cellar specializing in hard apple cider, cider-style fruit and grape wines and mead.

The partnership started before Arsenal Cider was even a business — co-founder Bill Larkin used the cider to make his own hard cider at home. Then, when he and his wife Michelle learned they were pregnant with twins, they opened the business as a way to work while spending more time as a family.

Arsenal Cider produces a variety of flavors — ranging from pumpkin apple to rhubarb and cranberry — and uses Soergel’s unpasteurized cider as the base for all of them. Larkin also said

Larry Voll, co-owner of Soergel Orchards, dumps apples into a hopper as one of the first steps of the cider making process.

According to Voll’s son, Eric Voll, non-alco- they get more,” Larry Voll said.

Psychology Club and the Asian Student Alliance, went in groups to their PMADD service projects — a popular choice among first-year students like Eschmann.

Eschmann, with other participants from Forbes Hall Floor Five and a few other groups, unloaded from a school bus at their worksite at about 9:15 a.m. The students were assigned to the Community Garden and Farm in Homewood, where they worked both indoors and out.

Pitt first-year student and engineering major Aaron Keehan also volunteered at the event, where he spent the morning cleaning the center’s library before heading outdoors to clean gutters and plant a tree. Community service is nothing new for Keehan, either.

“I’m an Eagle Scout,” Keehan said. “I love doing community service, it’s just satisfying to go out and help others.”

PMADD reaches people and community members from all over the City of Pittsburgh.

From the South Side to Dormont to Bloomfield, volunteers worked outdoors cleaning up gardens

and in community centers repainting. Fisher said PMADD’s time of year affects the types of projects students most-often encounter.

“Because of the time of year, in October, there’s often some winterizing component for outdoor gardens,” Fisher said. “A lot of time it’s winterizing gardens which is necessary but hard work. It takes a lot of manpower to do it.”

Winterizing — the process of preparing something for winter — is what many volunteers did at the urban farm. Pitt first-year engineering student Daniel Feathers did his fair share of it, working at the farm’s greenhouse to pull weeds and put down a layer of topsoil.

Though this was Feathers’ first year participating in PMADD, he said he’s had previous community service experience from volunteering on mission trips in the past.

“It was an urban garden in a block of residential area,” Feathers said of the PMADD site. “They had a greenhouse area that we helped clear out and get all the weeds out and we put down some topsoil so they could plant some plants there.”

October 22, 2018

PMADD isn’t just limited to the Pittsburgh region, either. All Pitt branch campuses participate in the day of service — like students at Pitt Greensburg who spent the day doing community service projects with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Adopt-a-Highway.

Pitt alumni could also take part — this year, the Pitt Alumni Association worked with PittServes to organize several meetings places in cities across America, some as far away as Las Vegas and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Whether serving thousands of miles away or pulling weeds the next neighborhood over, PMADD remains a Pitt tradition that, one pair of hands at a time, continues to make an impact on the community.

“These students really killed it here today,” Fisher said. “Every year when I see how many students register and actually come and really work very hard, it’s impressive to me. I’m always amazed every year.”

STOP Leaving nuclear treaty COLLOQUIALIZING is a mistake MENTAL ILLNESS from the editorial board

President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev signed the landmark Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty about 30 years ago as part of an important step toward lessening Cold War tensions and halting the nuclear arms race. Not one to stick to the status quo regarding international policy, President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States plans to exit the INF Treaty.

The president’s decision to pull out of the treaty not only further confirms the United States’ international reputation as a poor partner, but it also presents a real threat to nuclear disarmament and world security.

Trump has withdrawn from several international treaties since he took office, including the Iran nuclear deal, the Paris climate accord and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The president’s desire to put the country before international unity has led many to question the United States’ reliability on the global stage and done damage to our reputation as a strong ally.

The INF Treaty was born out of the Cold War tensions revolving around the possibility of nuclear war. It prohibits both the United States and the thenSoviet Union from making, possessing and testing intermediate-range missiles, which are missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 kilometers. The treaty has acted as a protective measure for Europe as well as the United States and Russia for the past 30 years, but without it this security is no longer certain.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a 2017 speech that if other countries develop their nuclear weapons systems, Russia would be ready to

pittnews.com

do the same. Walking away from the INF Treaty won’t solve the problem of nuclear proliferation — in fact, Trump is effectively giving Russia the opportunity to more brazenly produce and test nuclear weapons.

World leaders have weighed in on Trump’s announcement and many advise the United States to think about the possible results of such an action.

Gorbachev himself recognizes the mistake being made in leaving the treaty he signed in 1987.

“Under no circumstances should we tear up old disagreements,” he said. “Do they really not understand in Washington what this could lead to?”

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also called the decision “very dangerous,” and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas spoke to concerns about European security in a statement Sunday.

“We have often urged Russia to address serious allegations that it is violating the agreement,” Maas said. “We now urge the U.S. to consider the possible consequences.”

So far, it appears Trump is attempting to shift the blame for treaty violations completely on Russia, when in reality both countries have accused each other of breaching its terms. This fits into the president’s pattern of decrying an international deal, exiting it and negotiating a new deal that looks incredibly similar to the old one, all while touting the massive success of his administration.

The president has a knack for rebranding and reselling, but this isn’t the right way to approach foreign policy — eventually, the results could be nuclear.

For The Pitt News While browsing the internet recently, I came across a website selling a T-shirt that read, “I have crippling depression.” After ranting about it to whoever was unfortunate enough to be within earshot, I asked myself who would possibly pay money to wear such a thing. Then it occurred to me that I could think of several people, in my immediate social circle alone, who would proudly do just that.

We live in an age in which mental health is discussed more openly than ever before — higher numbers of people are receiving treatment, the stigma associated with psychiatric disorders is increasingly receding and scientific advancements continue to illuminate the biology of the brain, giving us new information as to how the mind works and how to best accommodate abnormalities. Unfortunately, this positive evolution has also resulted in the casualization of mental illness.

For instance, an overly neat person might be described as having OCD, or someone inconsistent or moody will be referred to as being bipolar. Saying things like, “That makes me want to kill myself ” or “I wish I were dead” is not only common — it’s usually understood as typical millennial humor.

These kinds of generalizations trivialize the constant struggle that accompanies life with a mental illness, while also perpetuating stereotypes associated with certain conditions. Additionally, it becomes difficult to tell who actually needs help and who is just speaking in hyper-

bole. As such, these seemingly harmless colloquialisms jeopardize mental health treatment, as well as the progress society has made in taking these issues seriously.

A boy on Tinder once mansplained “dark humor” to me after he failed to pick up on my own sarcasm, so I’d just like to clarify — I get dark humor. I’m usually all for it. But mental health stopped being a joke for me a long time ago, because it got too real to be funny. I couldn’t say, “I’d rather die than do that,” to my parents anymore when I wanted to be dramatic.

Before, they’d roll their eyes — now, the inpatient facility is only a 10-minute drive away.

Once I realized the effect those formerly harmless expressions started to have on the people close to me, I couldn’t unsee it — the stricken look on my mother’s face, my best friend’s concerned eyes. Careless dropping of the words “depressed,” “anxious,” “suicidal,” twisted grotesquely in my ears. It hurt that my reality, my everyday, seemed to be just an abstract idea to so many other people.

More than 43 million Americans deal with some sort of mental health or substance abuse condition. 75 percent of mental illnesses begin by the age of 24.

One in five young adults will be affected by a mental health condition during college. Suicide is the third leading cause of death on college campuses.

Suicide rates are increasing on a national level, rising 30 percent since 1999.

A 2015 survey study in Boston found that at least one in five college students

Loftus, pg. 3 experiences suicidal thoughts, and 9 percent confirmed that they had attempted suicide. Unfortunately, while suicide has developed into a domestic epidemic, its colloquial usage continues to crop up in everyday conversation, detaching it from its tragic nature and reducing it to a figure of speech.

According to the psychologist Howard Samuel, who founded the Los Angeles rehabilitation facility The Hills Treatment Center, laughing about mental illness not only minimizes a condition, but degrades sufferers in the process.

A passing comment you make could hit the person next to you like an invisible fist, and you might not ever know. You can forget you said it, but maybe one of your friends can’t. It’s still really hard to talk about mental illness, and hearing it being treated as a joke makes it even harder.

I understand that sardonic, bleak wit is a defining attribute of the millennialGen Z generation, as my friend from Tinder so kindly explained to me. But, as always, there’s a difference between being funny and being thoughtlessly hurtful. Every time you laugh about mental illness, remember how many people cry about it — and that they’re a lot closer than you think.

Sports PREDICTION: PITT FOOTBALL TO RIGHT THE SHIP AGAINST DUKE

Griffin Floyd

victorious over their next opponent, the Duke Blue Devils.

For starters, there is a specific brand of opponent that Pitt has had surprisingly consistent success with this season — decent teams that aren’t spectacular, but aren’t awful. With the exception of Albany, a lower-level team that served as a warmup game in which a Panther victory was all but guaranteed, two of Pitt’s three victories came against teams like this. The first was a 24-19 win over Georgia Tech — a solid program with a history of hovering around .500 or better — and the second was a 44-37 win over an average Syracuse team that sits right in the middle of the ACC Atlantic standings.

Duke is very comparable to these two teams — they’re an in-conference opponent with an adequate 5-2 overall record but The Panthers’ running game, led by senior running back Qadree Ollison (30), ranks an unremarkable 1-2 reat 45th in the nation with an average of 183.5 yards per game. The team’s passing cord in the ACC. In other game, led by sophomore quarterback Kenny Pickett (8), lags behind at 118th in the words, they fall right into nation with 142 yards per game.

Football, pg. 5 team in the ACC Coastal, North Carolina. It’s as though Pitt’s opponent has to be right in that aforementioned ideal wheelhouse — not so good that they can outmatch the Panthers with superior talent, but not bad enough so that the Panthers get cocky and let their guard down. Duke, like Syracuse and Georgia Tech, is accomplished enough to garner respect, but not talented enough to overpower Pitt in a head-tohead battle.

There’s also the fact that Pitt has yet to lose to Duke in the Narduzzi era.

Since 2015, the Panthers have won all three matchups by margins of 31-13, 56-14 and 24-17. In the same way that North Carolina seems to have Pitt’s number — the Panthers have lost their past six meetings with the Tar Heels — the Panthers simply have the Blue Devils’ number.

Both teams will enter this Saturday’s contest having dropped two of their last three games. But unlike Duke, Pitt’s losses came to two of the toughest teams in the nation, No. 10 UCF and

pittnews.com

No. 3 Notre Dame. The Blue Devils, meanwhile, have yet to face a ranked team this season. Their most recent losses came to Virginia Tech, 31-14, and the University of Virginia, 28-14.

As evidenced by those two scores, Duke has struggled to put points on the board. Its offense ranks 110th out of 130 teams in yards per game, averaging 338.7. Coincidentally, Pitt sits just seven spots beneath them, currently sporting the nation’s 14th-worst offense with 325.5 yards per game. Don’t expect to see a display of offensive fireworks on Saturday.

The biggest reason for Pitt’s offensive woes has been its pitiful passing attack, which ranks 118th nationally with 142 yards per game. Sophomore quarterback Kenny Pickett has yet to live up to the offseason hype, often looking uncomfortable in the pocket and finding himself handcuffed by offensive coordinator Shawn Watson’s overly conservative playbook. Luckily, Pickett won’t have to deal with Duke junior cornerback Mark Gilbert — a 2017 All-ACC player with six interceptions — who suffered a season-ending

hip injury Sept. 8.

The Blue Devils have likewise dealt with some quarterback issues of their own. Junior and incumbent starter Daniel Jones went down with a fractured clavicle Sept. 8, forcing him to miss two games. After receiving surgery to repair the injury, he hasn’t looked the same since returning Sept. 29, throwing for more touchdowns than interceptions only once, against Georgia Tech.

The matchup to look for will be Jones against Pitt’s defense, which lost senior middle linebacker, leading tackler and captain Quintin Wirginis to a season-ending knee injury during practice Oct. 9, but turned around and held a high-caliber Notre Dame offense to just 19 points the following week. If the Panthers can muster that sort of production again, then Jones & Co. will be hard-pressed to break the 20-point barrier — especially after scoring just 14 in two of the last three weeks.

Another matchup to look for will be Pitt’s greatest offensive weapon — its rushing attack — against Duke’s defense. The Panthers boast a running game that ranks in the top half of the

October 22, 2018

nation, sitting at 45th with 183.5 yards per game. The attack is led by senior Qadree Ollison, whose 646 rushing yards rank third in the ACC, and complemented by fellow senior Darrin Hall, whose 6.6 yards per carry rank fifth in the conference. The duo should be able to gain ground against the Blue Devil defense — like last year, when Hall rushed for 254 yards and three touchdowns — allowing Pitt’s offense to dictate the tempo throughout the game.

PREDICTION: Despite the Panthers’ inefficient passing attack, Ollison and Hall will carry the load against an average Blue Devil defense. Meanwhile, Pitt’s defense will do just enough to limit Duke’s production in what figures to be a low-scoring affair for both teams. The Panthers will have utilized their bye week for extra rest and preparation and when the dust clears, they’ll emerge victorious for the fourth consecutive year. If they do lose, it will be for no other reason than because they were expected to win.
