Mornings on the Hill for December 7, 2022

COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL. THE LAST SENATE SEAT DECIDED. FIND OUT WHO GEORGIA CHOSE LAST NIGHT.
AND AS THE WEATHER DIPS INTO THOSE BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES — HOMELESS FOLKS IN SYRACUSE ARE FLOCKING TO SHELTERS. HOW THEY’RE HANDLING THE INFLUX.
AND DRIVERS ALSO BATTLING THE COLD WEATHER THIS SEASON. HOW OLDER DRIVERS ESPECIALLY CAN BE CAREFUL ON THE ROAD.
ALL THAT PLUS YOUR ORANGE WEATHER AND SPORTS COMING UP ON TODAY’S EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
GOOD MORNING. I’M ZACH RICHTER. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M NARDEEN SALEEP. LET’S GET TO OUR TOP STORY.
THE RESULTS OF LAST NIGHTS RUNOFF IN GEORGIA ARE OUT AND ITS STAYING BLUE.
OUR ALAINA LOSITO JOINS US NOW TO TELL US MORE ON THE SENATE RACE IN GEORGIA AND THE HISTORIC WIN.
IT IS NOW CONFIRMED THAT REVEREND RAPHAEL WARNOCK HAS BEEN RE-ELECTED AS GEORGIA’S STATE SENATOR.
POLITICAL ANALYSTS THIS IS NOT ONLY A MONUMENTAL WIN FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA BUT FOR THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT THIS TIME, THE WARNOCK FOR GEORGIA CAMPAIGN RESPECTFULLY ASKS THAT YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS, STOMP YOUR FEET. AND GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR SENATOR. FOR SIX MORE YEARS. SENATOR REVEREND RAPHAEL WARNOCK.
WARNOCK DEFEATED HIS OPPONENT REPUBLICAN HERSHEL WALKER, A CANDIDATE SUPPORTED BY DONALD TRUMP IN A TIGHT RACE OF 51.1 TO 48.9 PERCENT.
THIS WILL NOW BRING THE DEMOCRATS TO A 51 SEAT MAJORITY.
WARNOCK WILL BECOME THE FIRST EVER BLACK SENATOR TO SERVE A SIX-YEAR TERM.
THIS STUNTS DONALD TRUMP’S ATTEMPTS TO MOVE HIS WAY BACK INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
AS WARNOCK TOOK THE STAGE TO ANNOUNCE HIS VICTORY HE REMINDED PEOPLE THAT THEIR VOICE MATTERS.
AND AFTER A HARD FOUGHT CAMPAIGN, OR SHOULD I SAY CAMPAIGNS. IT IS MY HONOR TO UTTER. THE FOUR MOST POWERFUL WORDS EVER SPOKEN IN A DEMOCRACY. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
ALAINA THANK YOU. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR THE BALDWINSVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS HAVING ANOTHER SPECIAL MEETING TONIGHT AT SIX. THIS COMES AFTER THE BOARD VOTED TO BRING FORTH PENALTIES AGAINST FORMER SUPERINTENDENT JASON THOMSON.
THOMSON WAS ARRESTED FOR A DWI EARLY OCTOBER AFTER CROWD-SURURFING AT A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME. HE HAS BEEN ON PAID LEAVE FOR NEARLY TWO MONTHS. THE BOARD DID NOT SAY WHETHER THE MEETING IS RELATED TO THOMSON’S DISCIPLINE.
NOW, TURNING TO THE WEATHER TODAY, IT WAS WARMER TODAY THAN IT HAS BEEN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

I KNOW. I WENT OUTSIDE WITH MY JACKET AND THEN WENT INSIDE TO PUT IT BACK AWAY.
IT WAS A LITTLE RAINY AND OUR MORNINGS ON THE HILL’S WEATHER ANCHOR MADDIE MUSTION IS OUTSIDE ON THE WEATHER DECK WITH MORE. MADDIE.
THANKS, ZACH AND NARDINE. HONESTLY, I WAY OVERESTIMATED HOW COLD IT WAS GOING TO BE OUT HERE TODAY. BUT LUCKILY, I BROUGHT A JACKET BECAUSE IT’S DRIZZLING A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT’S HONESTLY PRETTY COMFORTABLE FOR SYRACUSE IN DECEMBER. THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE RIGHT NOW IS 48 DEGREES, BUT THERE’S A SLIGHT WIND THAT’S MAKING IT FEEL A LITTLE BIT COOLER OUTSIDE. THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT IT’S MORE LIKE A SLIGHT DRIZZLE. SO YOU COULD BRING A COAT WITH A HOOD OR AN UMBRELLA IF YOU LIKE. THE HUMIDITY IS ABOUT 96% AND THE WIND HAS FINALLY DIED DOWN, BUT IT’S CURRENTLY AT FOUR MILES AN HOUR. THOSE ARE THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES. BUT STAY TUNED BECAUSE I’LL BE BRINGING YOU THE FIVE DAY FORECAST LATER ON IN THE SHOW. ZACH AND NARDINE, BACK TO YOU.
THANKS MADDIE. CRISIS COMMUNICATION IS A PRESSING ISSUE FOR ANY COMPANY OR CONTROVERSY.
MORNINGS ON THE HILL REPORTER MICAH PRUYN GOLDSTEIN JOINS US IN STUDIO WITH THE HEADS OF THE SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY CRISIS COMMUNICATION CLUB.
HAVING AN EXPERIENCED CRISIS COMMUNICATION TEAM IS A MUST FOR ANY COMPANY LOOKING TO IMPROVE OR MAINTAIN THEIR NAME, IMAGE AND REPUTATION. JOINING ME ARE THE HEADS OF THE NEWLY INDUCTED STUDENT RUN ORGANIZATION CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB. GUYS, I AM THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE HERE THIS MORNING AND TAKE ME THROUGH FIRST. WHAT IS CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
FIRST, I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY. WE’RE REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE. MY NAME IS ALEXIS KARLIN. I’M PRESIDENT OF CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS IS, IT’S PRETTY MUCH MAINTAINING THE REPUTATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A COMPANY IN THE EYES OF THE PUBLIC. SO AS FOR CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB, WE MEET WEEKLY IN ORDER TO DISCUSS CURRENT CRISES. WE HAVE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF STUDENTS WORKING TOGETHER IN ORDER TO DO OUR PROJECTS THAT WE’RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON. WE’RE WORKING ON AN INDUSTRY REPORT. WE’RE MEETING WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS. AND WE’RE ALSO WORKING ON BUILDING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS TO WHAT IT MEANS TO ME. CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS IS A FAST PACED, FAST MOVING INDUSTRY, AND I ALWAYS LOVE A CHALLENGE, SO WORKING WITHIN CRISES IS VERY EXCITING.
THANK YOU, ALEXIS. NOW, MIA, LET ME ASK YOU THIS. WHAT HAS BEEN A CURRENT CRISIS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRACKING? AND GIVE ME YOUR MAIN TAKEAWAY.
SO A CURRENT CRISIS THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT IN OUR CLUB IS THE KANYE. WEST CONTROVERSY AND KIND OF JUST HOW BRANDS THAT HE’S BEEN COLLABORATING WITH, SUCH AS BALENCIAGA AND ADIDAS, HAVE PULLED OUT OF COLLABORATIONS WITH HIM. AND WE’VE JUST KIND OF BEEN STUDYING THE RESPONSES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THROUGH PRESS RELEASES.
PERFECT THANK YOU ALEXIS AND MIA FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. ZACH, NARDEEN, I WILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
NOW THAT TEMPERATURES HAVE GONE DOWN, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN SHELTERS HAS GONE UP.
OUR ISABEL FLORES JOINS US LIVE FROM HENDRICK’S CHAPEL TO BREAK DOWN HOW ONE SHELTER IS MANAGING INCREASED CAPACITY DURING THIS WINTER SEASON.
THAT’S RIGHT, NARDEEN.
THE HOLIDAYS ARE FAST APPROACHING AND ONE GROUP OF SYRACUSE SHELTERS IS DOING ITS BEST TO HELP OUT THE COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES IS ME IS MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE IN AS THEY ARE EXPERIENCING. A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AS CAPACITY IS GETTING HIGHER.
HERE ARE SOME DONATIONS THAT CATHOLIC CHARITIES IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES IS ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOOD.
WHETHER IT’S NON-PERISHABLES OR NOT, THE SHELTER IS ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOOD PRODUCTS TO HELP MAKE MEALS FOR THOSE SEEKING ASSISTANCE.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES ALSO SAYS THAT TOILETRIES OF ALL KINDS ARE NEEDED TO HELP WITH HYGIENE.
AND NOW THAT THE COLD WEATHER IS UPON US, CATHOLIC CHARITIES IS ALSO IN NEED OF WINTER GEAR, SUCH AS GLOVES, SCARVES, AND EVEN HOODIES OR JACKETS TO GIVE TO INDIVIDUALS TO HELP KEEP THEM WARM.
DANIELLE SAID THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS COME BY THE SHELTER JUST TO ASK FOR A PAIR OF GLOVES DURING THE WINTER, SO HAVING MORE IN-STOCK WOULD BE A BIG HELP.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY SHELTERS IN NEW YORK.
YOU CAN CONTACT ANY OF YOUR LOCAL SHELTERS TO SEE IF THEY NEED ANY HELP OR ANY DONATIONS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE BACK IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS WINTER SEASON.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M ISABEL FLORES REPORTING LIVE FROM HENDRICK’S CHAPEL.
ZACH AND NARDEEN, BACK TO YOU.
COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL — THIS WEEK IS OLDER DRIVE SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK — WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
PLUS — THE MOST POPULAR CHRISTMAS MOVIE IN YOUR STATE — WE’LL HAVE MORE AFTER THE BREAK.
WELCOME BACK TO MORNINGS ON THE HILL. TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
MORNINGS ON THE HILL’S MADDIE MUSTION IS IN STUDIO WITH A LOOK AT YOUR FULL WEATHER FORECAST.
AFTER I DRIED OFF TODAY. IT’S LOOKING A LITTLE BIT DRIZZLY OUT THERE, BUT NOT SO BAD. IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE HOURLY FORECAST. IT’S GOING TO START OFF ABOUT 52 AND GET SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AS A COLD FRONT MOVES IN AND WE HEAD INTO THE NIGHTTIME. THE QUIET WEATHER. HONESTLY, IT’S PRETTY WARM FOR DECEMBER. AND IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT AROUND THE AREA, SYRACUSE RIGHT NOW IS AT 49, BUFFALO AT 43, ROCHESTER AT 45. OBVIOUSLY AROUND THE LAKE, YOU’RE GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT COLDER. AS YOU LOOK AT BINGHAMTON, IT’S ABOUT 48 DEGREES AND ALBANY IS AT 55. IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT TOMORROW, THERE’S GOING TO BE A WAY RAIN CELL IN THE MORNING. IT’S GOING TO BE 42. LOOKING INTO THE AFTERNOON, IT’S GOING TO GET A LOT COLDER. SO IF YOU HAVE A NICE WARM RAIN JACKET OR SOMETHING THAT CAN KEEP YOU A LITTLE BIT WARMER THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND DRY, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME RAIN HEADING INTO TOMORROW NIGHT AS WELL. AND LOOKING AT THE FIVE DAY FORECAST INTO THE WEEKEND, HONESTLY, IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. LOOKING AT FRIDAY, WE HAVE 40 DEGREES AND SUNNY SATURDAY AS YOU HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. NICE WEATHER ON SATURDAY. MY PARENTS ARE COMING IN THIS WEEKEND, SO IT SHOULD BE NICE ON SATURDAY. WE HAVE SOME RAIN AND MONDAY IT SHOULD BE CLOUDY, BUT EVERYONE WILL PROBABLY BE INSIDE TAKING THEIR FINAL SO WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. ZACH AND NARDINE, BACK TO YOU.
THANKS MADDIE. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF L-G-B-T-Q JOURNALISTS IS COMING TO SYRACUSE!
THE NLGJA IS A NETWORK OF JOURNALISTS WORKING TOWARDS FAIR AND UNBIASED NEWS COVERAGE OF L-G-B-T-Q FOLKS AND ISSUES. FOLLOW AT NLGJA_SU ON INSTAGRAM FOR UPDATES ON THEIR FIRST MEETING AFTER BREAK
IT’S TRIPLE A DRIVER SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK. IT COMES IN DECEMBER ALONG WITH ALL THE SNOW, AND IT CARRIES A CERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE FOR CENTRAL NEW YORKERS.
MORNINGS ON THE HILL REPORTER SAMMY ST. JEAN EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS SO IMPORTANT FOR OLDER DRIVER SAFETY.
THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL NEW YORK KNOW ALL TOO WELL THAT WITH WINTER COMES WITH ICE AND SNOW.
DRIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS IS NEVER EASY BUT THE CONCERN IS ELEVATED FOR ELDERLY DRIVERS THIS TIME OF YEAR. WHETHER IT BE SCRAPING THE ICE OFF THEIR CAR OR REACTING WITH ICE ON THE ROAD, THIS TIME OF YEAR ADDS EXTRA CHALLENGES FOR SENIOR DRIVERS. WITH THAT WORRY ABOUT THE COMING WINTRY WEATHER, AAA DRIVING INSTRUCTOR ERIC SMITH SAYS IT THAT THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR ELDERLY DRIVERS YOU MAY BE CONCERNED ABOUT TO TAKE AN EVALUATION WITH A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR.
AAA WE OFFER, I DO LIKE SENIOR MEDICAL EVALUATIONS AND, YOU KNOW, WE DON’T GO TO THE DMV OR ANYTHING, BUT WE JUST SEND A RECOMMENDATION TO THE SON, DAUGHTER, THE SENIOR CITIZEN. HEY, YOU DID THIS WRONG. YOU DID THIS WRONG. YOU KNOW, MAYBE LOOK INTO LIMITING YOUR DRIVING.
EVEN IF NOT BY TAKING THE SENIOR DRIVER EVALUATION, TRIPLE-A STILL RECOMMENDS HAVING A CONVERSATION TO BEGIN A DIALOGUE IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT AN ELDERLY DRIVER’S SAFETY. HAVING A CONVERSATION TO AT LEAST PLANT THE SEED CAN GO A LONG WAY. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL FOR THE FINAL TIME, I’M SAMMY ST. JEAN.
THANK YOU SAMMY. CHRISTMAS SEASON IS HERE –- AND WITH THAT COMES YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
EVERYONE HAS A FAVORITE, AND MANY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEM.
BUT, GOOGLE TRENDS — SUGGESTS THIS NATION MIGHT AGREE ON SOMETHING.
ONE FILM REMAINS A FAVORITE FOR NEARLY 80-PERCENT OF THE NATION! “NATIONAL LAMPOONS CHRISTMAS VACATION!”

COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK —

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2015 THAT THEY ARE BACK IN THE COLLEGE CUP. HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING AS THE TEAM IS ONE WIN AWAY FROM BREAKING THE PROGRAM SINGLE-SEASON WINS RECORD.
HEADING OVER TO WOMEN’S BASKETBALL.

MORNINGS ON THE HILL REPORTER JEREMY LYNCH JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO WITH MORE.
IT IS OUR FINAL FINAL SHOW OF THE SEMESTER. IT IS A BITTERSWEET MOMENT. I WENT AROUND THE NEWSROOM THIS MORNING TO ASK THEIR FAVORITE MEMORIES.
JUST GENERALLY TALKING TO HER ABOUT STORY IDEAS AND BOUNCING OFF EACH OTHER. SHE JUST HAS IDEAS THAT I WOULD NEVER THINK OF. AND YEAH, I’VE LEARNED A LOT FROM HER, SO THANK YOU, KP.

I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS THAT SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM HERE. SHE TOLD ME HOW TO USE ENPS AND ALL THE DIFFERENT CODING STUFF AND ALL OF THAT. SO NOW I KNOW FOR THE FUTURE. KP WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.

I GET A MESSAGE IN MY IFB FROM KP BASICALLY SAYING THAT THEY HAD JUST DECIDED TO SCRAP THAT WHOLE THING AND GO STRAIGHT TO ME. I HAD TO FIGHT BACK THE LAUGHTER BECAUSE JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS IN ORDER TO GET AROUND THESE ISSUES. SO RIGHT BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, I JUST HAD THIS BIG SMILE ON MY FACE AND WENT STRAIGHT TO MY STORY.

AND SHE LAUGHED AT A JOKE I MADE ABOUT PAPA V EATING A HOT POCKET.

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT KP IS THAT SHE’S ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP EVERYBODY, EVEN IF IT’S OUTSIDE OF OUR MOTH CLASS. IF YOU EVER HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT GRAPHICS OR ANYTHING, SHE’S ALWAYS DOWN FOR A PHONE CALL OR A FACE TIME, AND WE’LL WORK WITH YOU OUTSIDE OF CLASS HOURS. AND SHE. KNOWS WHAT SHE’S DOING AND I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE SHE GOES NEXT. LOVE YOU KP.

WHEN I DID MY INTERACTIVE SEGMENT, THAT WAS BASEBALL TRIVIA. AND SHE SAID, THE NEW YORK GIANTS THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT ANSWER. BUT SHE’S A SUPER IA. SHE’S THE BEST. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING SHE’S DONE FOR SURE.

I THINK MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF KP HAS TO BE GOING ON ZOOM EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. HER CAT BEING IN THERE WITH HER AND JUST HONESTLY, EVERY DAY WITH KP IS THE BEST DAY. SHE’S JUST THE SWEETEST. PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. AND SHE’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MISSED SO MUCH.

HI KP. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE FOR US THIS SEMESTER HERE AT MORNINGS ON THE HILL. YOU’RE SUCH A BALL OF JOY EVERY TIME YOU COME IN AT LIKE 7 A.M., SO I WILL MISS SEEING YOU, BUT I KNOW YOU’LL GO ON TO DO BEAUTIFUL, GREAT THINGS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. KP YOU ARE THE COOLEST CAT PERSON I’VE EVER MET.

SO MY FAVORITE MOTH MEMORY WITH KP IS JUST HER ALWAYS BEING WILLING TO HELP US WHENEVER WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. AND I WANT TO WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS. KP I LOVE YOU.

KNOWING HER IS GOING TO PRIVILEGE, AND THEN IN THE FUTURE I KNOW SHE’S GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS AS A PRODUCER. SHE’S MOVING ON, YOU KNOW, SHE’S GOING HAVE A GREAT CAREER AHEAD OF HER, AND I JUST HOPE TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH HER AS A GOOD FRIEND IN THE FUTURE.

KP I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU AND OF HOW YOU HAVE GROWN INTO THIS PRODUCING ROLE. I SEE GREAT THINGS FOR YOU. I SEE BIG MARKETS FOR YOU. I SEE AT SOME POINT YOU WANTING TO GET OUT OF THIS CRAZY BUSINESS, BUT THAT’LL BE FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND I’LL BE HERE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THAT, TOO. GOOD LUCK. GODSPEED. AND I KNOW THAT I PERSONALLY WILL MISS YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

FOR ALL OF US HERE AT MORNINGS ON THE HILL, WE’RE ALL GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE STUFF KP HAS TAUGHT US OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEMESTER AND WE WILL MISS HER SO MUCH. I’LL THROW IT BACK OVER TO ZACH AND NARDINE.

WELL, IT’S BEEN A GREAT SEMESTER OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL. THIS HAS JUST BEEN SUCH A BLAST.
