Mornings on the Hill for November 2, 2022

COMING UP ON MORNING’S ON THE HILL A CAR NEAR WALNUT STREET GOES UP IN FLAMES.
SOME HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO FOLLOW POLLING RULES.
AND AS WE NEAR THE THANKSGIVING SEASON, THERE’S ONE THING YOU DON’T WANT TO BE MISSING FROM THE TABLE.
ALL THAT PLUS YOUR WEATHER AND ORANGE SPORTS COMING UP ON THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
GOOD MORNING. I’M JEREMY LYNCH. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M ISABEL FLORES. LET’S GET TO OUR TOP STORY TODAY.
A CAR ENGULFED IN FIRE ON THE CORNER OF EAST ADAMS AND WALNUT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
GOOD MORNINGS GUYS.
I’M HERE OUTSIDE WALNUT PARK WHERE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON STUDENTS WERE GOING ABOUT THEIR DAY NORMALLY GOING TO CLASSES AND MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
UNTIL THEY SAW A CAR CATCH FIRE.
THE CALL CAME INTO THE SYRACUSE 911 CENTER AT 2:56 IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN THERE WAS A QUICK TURN AROUND.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY FILLED IN FLAMES AS PART OF THE STREET WAS CLOSED OFF. THE CAR WAS SPOTTED ON WALNUT BUT ACTUALLY THE CAR WAS ON E. ADAMS STREET.
BOTH DPS AND SYRACUSE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED.
FROM WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THEIR WAS NO ONE INSIDE THE CAR AND LUCKILY THEIR WERE NO INJURIES.
THE SCENE WAS CLEAR BY 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL PROTECTION FIRE AGENCY, THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF CAR FIRES ARE MECHANICAL FAILURES AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS.
ALSO CAR ACCIDENTS AND COLLISIONS ARE ANOTHER MAJOR CAUSE.
LASTLY OLDER VEHICLES THAT DON’T HAVE THE PROPER MAINTENCE ON THEM.
AS WE COME BACK HERE LIVE. THERE IS NO WORD AT THIS HOUR HOW THIS CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND WHAT TIME THIS FIRE STARTED AS THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING. FROM WALNUT THIS MORNING. ZACH RICHTER – MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
ELECTION DAY IS 6 DAYS AWAY AND AS YOU PREPARE TO GO TO THE POLLS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN’T BRING WITH YOU.
MORNINGS ON THE HILL EXECUTIVE PRODUCER KAITLIN PARISI TELLS US HOW TO PREPARE.
IT’S AN EXCITING TIME FOR SYRACUSE RESIDENTS LIKE MICHAEL GROSS WITH ELECTION DAY AROUND THE CORNER.
IT’S OUR RIGHT BUT IT’S ALSO AS YOUNG AMERICANS, AS YOUNG INDIVIDUALS, WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE COUNTRY FOR THE YEAR TO COME.
HE JOINS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTY AS VOTERS GET READY TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS.
IF YOU’RE A FIRST TIME VOTER — THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS COMMISSIONER SAYS YOU NEED TO PROVE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.
THERE’S SEVERAL THINGS THAT ACT AS ID. OF COURSE YOUR DIRVERS LISENCE ACTS AS ID. YOUR LEASE, A UTILITY BILL WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON IT ACTS AS ID.
FIRST TIME VOTERS NEED TO SHOW PROOF OF I-D BUT IS THAT TRUE FOR EVERYONE WHO GOES TO THE POLLS?
IF YOU’VE VOTED BEFORE IN NEW YORK ALL WE NEED IS YOUR SIGNATURE. WE WILL COMPARE IT TO YOUR SIGNATURE THAT’S ON FILE.
ONE THING ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY IS NOT ALLOWED — WEARING APPAREL WITH THE NAME OF A CURRENT CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT.
SO, IF YOU WORE A TRUMP SHIRT IN, YOU CAN DO THAT. HE’S NOT ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR. OR BIDEN. BUT IF YOU WERE TO BRING IN A FRACIS CANOLE SHIRT OR A BRANDON WILLIAMS STICKER, YOU’D BE ASKED TO COVER THAT UP BEOFRE BEING ALLOWED TO VOTE.
ISABEL THIS IS NOT TYPICAL NOVEMBER WEATHER HERE IN SYRACUSE.
IT DEFINETELY IS NOT. I’M FROM FLORIDA BUT I’M NOT USED TO THE COLD ALREADY BUT I’VE HEARD IT’S TOO HOT FOR WHAT WE USUALLY DO HAVE HERE IN SYRACUSE. SAMMY ST. JEAN HAS MORE ON JUST WHAT SYRACUSE HAS IN STORE FOR US TODAY, SAMMY?
WELL FOLKS, IS IT HOT? IS IT COLD? WHO REALLY KNOWS LATELY HERE IN SYRACUSE? YOU’VE GOT WEATHER FROM THE NORTH AND WEATHER FROM THE SOUTH DUKING IT OUT HERE IN CENTRAL NEW YORK. IT FEELS LIKE 53 TODAY, BUT IT’S GOING TO GET CLOSE TO 60. AND LATER TODAY OR LATER THIS WEEK, IT ACTUALLY MIGHT GET UP TO 70 DEGREES IN NOVEMBER IN SYRACUSE. WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT? BUT I’LL HAVE MORE FOR YOU ON WEATHER UPDATE A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE SHOW. SAMMY ST. JEAN LIVE HERE IN SYRACUSE.
THANKS SAMMY. TENANTS IN THE GREAT NORTHERN MALL IN THE TOWN OF CLAY MAY NOT HAVE TO LEAVE IN THREE WEEKS AFTER ALL.
ON FRIDAY THE MALL’S OWNER TOLD BUSINESS THEY HAD UNTIL THE 20TH TO LEAVE. BUT DEVELOPER GUY HART WHO SIGNED A CONTRACT TO BUY THE MALL BOUGHT THEM SOME TIME. HART AND THE CURRENT OWNER AGREED ON A MORE FLEXIBLE DATE.
HART IS PLANNING ON TRANSFORMING THE MALL INTO A LIFESTYLE CENTER WITH LUXURY APARTMENTS AS WELL AS STORES AND RESTAURANTS. HE DOESN’T EXPECT THE DEAL TO CLOSE UNTIL THIS DECEMBER.
YOU MAY NEED A BACKUP PLAN FOR YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY THIS YEAR.
MICHAEL VILLEGAS JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO WITH MORE. MICHAEL.
AS WE START NOVEMBER. THAT MEANS THANKSGIVING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
BUT THE STAPLE DISH MAY BE HARDER TO FIND AND MORE EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR.
WE ALL KNOW THE ROUTINE OF GOING GROCERY SHOPPING. WE MAKE OUR LIST. GO TO THE STORE.GRAB OUR CART.AND GO UP AND DOWN THE AISLES CHECKING OFF NEEDED ITEMS ONE AT A TIME. BUT AS WE HEAD INTO NOVEMBER AND CLOSER TO THANKSGIVING. SOME OF THAT PLANNING MAY NEED TO BE MOVED UP FOR THE CENTERPIECE DISH. DUE TO INFLATION, AVIAN FLU, AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES THIS YEAR.TURKEY’S ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY AND ARE BECOMING SCARCE ON GROCERY STORE SHELVES. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME SHOPPERS LIKE STANLEY HARRISON TO THINK AHEAD.
I’M SURE WE’LL TRY TO ORDER ONE EARLIER BECAUSE WE TRY TO GET A FRESH TURKEY. SO AS SOON AS WE GET BACK TO MILWAUKEE, WHICH WOULD BE NEXT WEEK, WE’LL BE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE. OUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE HAS REALLY GOOD FRESH TURKEYS THAT I’M SURE WE’LL HAVE TO GET THE ORDER IN.
AS STANLEY PLANS.HE ALSO POINTS OUT ANOTHER CONCERN.
THERE’S GOING TO BE A SHORTAGE. THEY’LL PROBABLY BE MORE EXPENSIVE. I COULD DO WITH THE TURKEY SANDWICH, BUT I’M SURE THAT’S NOT WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WITH SOME WEGMAN’S SHOPPERS GETTING THEIR TURKEY’S EARLY, OTHERS AREN’T CHANGING THEIR THANKSGIVING PLANS.
SOMETIMES, USUALLY FRESH, BUT SOMETIMES FROZEN.
FRESH OR FROZEN MAY BE THE DECISION BUT WE ASKED THE MORSE’S IF NOT HAVING TURKEY FOR THANKSGIVING WAS ON THE TABLE.
NO. NO WE HAVE TO HAVE TURKEY.
AS THE STAPLE DISH OF THANKSGIVING IS A QUESTION MARK THIS YEAR. STANLEY HAS ANOTHER FAVORITE DISH HE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO.
WELL, ONE OF THE TRADITIONAL ONES IS CREAMED ONIONS. BUT HE ALSO CALLED THEM BELLY BOMBS. BUT BECAUSE OF THE EFFECT THAT THEY HAVE ON YOU.
HOPEFULLY THAT’S THE ONLY EFFECT CUSTOMERS FEEL THIS THANKSGIVING.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M MICHAEL VILLEGAS.
THANKS MICHAEL. AND NOW TO A NATIONWIDE VETERINARIAN SHORTAGE THAT IS AFFECTING LOCAL ANIMAL HOSPITALS IN CENTRAL NEW YORK.
OUR ALAINA LOSITO TELLS US HOW THE PANDEMIC WAS A BIG FACTOR IN THIS SHORTAGE. ALAINA.
IF YOU’VE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES GETTING YOUR PETS IN TO YOUR VETERINARIAN, YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
THE CAUSE OF THIS. A SHORTAGE OF VETERINARIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY IN LOCAL ANIMAL HOSPITALS.
ANIMAL HOSPITALS ACROSS AMERICA ARE STRUGGLING WITH A SHORTAGE OF VETERINARIANS.
FOR A LOCAL VETERINARY HOSPITAL LIKE VCA’S FAIRMOUNT ANIMAL HOSPITAL, THIS SHORTAGE HAS AFFECTED BUSINESS.
HOSPITAL MANAGER, SEAN OCRUTT SAYS THIS IS A LOCAL PROBLEM AND CAUSED THEM TO SHUT DOWN THEIR AFTER-HOUR URGENT CARE BUSINESS.
IT’S REALLY A STRUGGLE RIGHT NOW. PARTICULARLY IN THE CENTRAL NEW YORK AREA. IF YOU GO TO SOME OF THE LARGER METROPOLITAN AREAS, THERE’S MORE RESOURCES. THERE ALSO IS A SHORTAGE OF VETERINARY TECHNICIANS AND THE TECHNICIAN ROLE IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PROCESS OF THE HOSPITAL OF HAVING A SUCCESSFUL HOSPITAL. BASICALLY, THEY’RE THE REGISTERED NURSES OF THE ANIMAL WORLD.
VETERINARIAN DR. DAISY FRIEDMAN SAYS THERE WAS A LARGE INCREASE IN PET ADOPTION ONCE THE PANDEMIC HIT.
I THINK THAT THERE’S A STATISTIC OUT THERE THAT SAYS THAT APPROXIMATELY 1500 TO 2000 ANIMALS ARE UNDER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ONE VETERINARIAN. SO IT’S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY FOR US, FOR SURE. WHEN I GRADUATED, IT WAS VERY EASY FOR ME TO GET A JOB, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THIS SHORTAGE. AND WE WANT TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TO SEE AS MANY PETS AS POSSIBLE. BUT BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORTAGE AND BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH NEED, SOMETIMES WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT’S HARDER TO GET AN APPOINTMENT, HARDER TO BE SEEN.
SHE SAYS THE SAME NUMBER OF VETS ARE GRADUATING FROM VET SCHOOL BUT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING NUMBER OF PETS.
THIS HOSPITAL HAS STARTED REACHING OUT AND RECRUITING PEOPLE EARLIER IN THEIR CAREERS TO HOPEFULLY PLANT THE SEED AND HIRE THEM ONCE THEY GRADUATE VET SCHOOL.
DOCTOR FRIEDMAN SAYS SCHEDULING YOUR PET’S WELLNESS EXAM SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE CAN BE THE BEST WAY OF GETTING YOUR FURRY FRIEND IN.
BUT THAT’S NOT IT FOR YOUR DOSE OF ANIMALS TODAY.
STAY TUNED AT THE END OF OUR SHOW AS OUR SYDNEY STAPLES WILL BE SHOWING YOU OUR MOTH CREW’S ADORABLE FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY MEMBERS.
ISABEL. JEREMY. BACK TO YOU.
ALAINA THANK YOU. NOW RIGHT ON CAMPUS UNIVERSITY UNION IS BRINGING US I-CARLY STAR JENETTE MCCURDY.
SHE’LL BE TALKING NEXT SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12TH IN SCHINE AT EIGHT IN THE EVENING.
THE PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE BUT YOU DO NEED TO GET TICKETS ON THE STUDENT BOX OFFICE WEBSITE.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC IT’LL BE OPEN TO EVERYONE IN THE SYRACUSE AND E-S-F CAMPUSES AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL– HOW SALONS IN SYRACUSE ARE BEING IMPACTED BY INFLATION.
AND YOUR FULL WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE WEEK. WE’LL BE BACK IN 2 MINUTES.
WELCOME BACK TO MORNINGS ON THE HILL. TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
SAMMY ST. JEAN IS IN STUDIO WITH A LOOK AT YOUR FULL WEATHER FORECAST.
TODAY IT’S GOING TO BE 59, HIGH 59, LOW OF 44. FITS RIGHT INTO THE AVERAGE OF ABOUT 53. LOW AVERAGE OF 39, WHICH IS A LITTLE LOW. AND I’M GLAD WE DON’T HAVE THAT TODAY. RECORD HIGH OF 76, NOT QUITE. THE TROPICAL WEATHER THAT I’M WEARING, BUT WE’RE PRETTY CLOSE THERE. 59 CLEAR GETTING CLOSE TO 60 TODAY AND A RECORD LOW OF 17 FOR THANK GOODNESS WE DO NOT HAVE THAT TODAY. AND MOVING ON TO THE HOURLY FORECAST, LOOKING FORWARD TO TODAY. IT IS GOING TO START OUT KIND OF AROUND THAT 50 DEGREE MARK. MOVE UP TOWARDS 60. GET BACK DOWN INTO THE AT NIGHT AROUND 50, 47, 46 AND THEN BACK UP TO ALMOST 70 DEGREES TOMORROW, WHICH SHOULD BE A PLEASANT TREAT AND SOMETHING I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO. AROUND THE CENTRAL NEW YORK AREA. SYRACUSE, 53, BUFFALO, 52, A LOW IN GLENS FALLS 38. AND AGAIN, I AM VERY GLAD WE DO NOT HAVE THAT HERE. 47 IN WATERTOWN, 49 IN FULTON. AND THEN MOVING ON HERE TO YOUR DAY PLANNER IN THE MORNING. 48, 57, 55. AND NO REAL CONCERNS ABOUT RAIN TODAY AND THE NIGHT. 49 I MEAN, YOU CRACK THE WINDOWS IF YOU LIKE TO SLEEP WHEN IT’S COLD OUTSIDE. AND THEN FINALLY FOR YOUR FIVE DAY FORECAST, IT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY NICE WEEK. SUNDAY IS GOING TO CAP THINGS OFF WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. BUT OVERALL, GETTING TO 60, 66 AND THEN 71 ON SATURDAY FOR A LITTLE FOOTBALL WEATHER. BUT FOR YOUR MORNINGS ON THE HILL WEATHER I’M SAMMY ST. JEAN. BACK TO YOU GUYS.
INFLATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES ARE IMPACTING MANY LOCAL BUSINESSES.
MADDIE MUSTION JOINS US LIVE IN THE STUDIO TO TELL US HOW LOCAL HAIR SALONS ARE ADJUSTING.
HAIR SALONS IN SYRACUSE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED WITH THE INCREASE IN PRICES FOR THEIR PRODUCTS FOR A WHILE NOW.
THAT, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SHORTAGES IN SUPPLIES HAS MADE BUSINESS DIFFICULT.
ELEMENT ON WATER SALON HAS FOUND A WAY TO STAY IN BUSINESS WHILE STILL PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS FIRST.
A FRIDAY IN THE SALON CAN’T HAPPEN WITHOUT COLOR, GLOVES, FOILS. OWNER OF ELEMENT ON WATER SALON, JACQUELINE GRABOWSKI SAYS THAT INFLATION HAS IMPACTED THE LITTLE THINGS AT THE SALON.
WELL WE DEFINITELY HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS FROM GLOVES TO FOILS AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED BEHIND THE SCENES.
STYLIST KIMBERLI HERRERA SAYS SUPPLY CHAIN SHORTAGES HAVE ALSO MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GET THEIR REGULAR ITEMS.
I MEAN, WE STILL USE GREAT PRODUCTS. WE STILL TRY TO LIKE WORK WITH GREAT PRODUCTS. WE HAD A DIFFERENT COLOR LINE, BUT WE FIND LIKE SIMILAR ITEMS, JUST NOT LIKE THIS ITEM WE’RE LOOKING FOR.
ALTHOUGH THE PRICE OF SOME PRODUCTS HAS INCREASED AND SOME MAY BE OUT OF STOCK DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN SHORTAGES, THEY ARE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS COMING BACK.
WE’VE KIND OF ITEMIZED OUR THINGS AS SOMEBODY WANTS ADDITIONAL COLORS OR ADDITIONAL NEEDS MORE COLOR. WE’VE ADDED ON MORE OF THE A-LA-CARTE. ADDITIONAL PRICES FOR EACH TUBE THAT WE’RE USING JUST KIND OF MORE BASED ON LOOKS NOT JUST THE SERVICE.
AMIDST CHALLENGES ELEMENT ON WATER IS CONTINUING TO STOCK THE SHELVES AND FILL THEIR CHAIRS.
WITH ADAPTATION AND PERSEVERANCE, THEY ARE HOPING TO STAY AFLOAT AND KEEP CUSTOMERS COMING IN.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M MADDIE MUSTION.

GOOD MORNING. I’M MICAH PRUYN GOLDSTEIN WITH YOUR ORANGE SPORTS UPDATE HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
THE ORANGE MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM IMPROVED TO 2-0 IN IN THEIR FINAL PRESEASON GAME LAST NIGHT BY BEATING SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE, 72-58.
THE ORANGE LED THE GAME FROM START TO FINISH, LOOKING MORE COHESIVE THAN IN THEIR OPENER. IN THE CONTEST, SENIOR’S JOE GIRARD AND JESSE EDWARDS LED THE ORANGE AS THE TWO PLAYERS SCORING IN DOUBLE FIGURES. GIRARD FINISHED THE GAME WITH A TEAM HIGH 15 POINTS AND WAS A PERFECT, NINE FOR NINE FROM THE FREE THROW LINE. EDWARDS, STILL ADJUSTING TO A MORE INVOLVED ROLE THIS SEASON, RECORDED 13 POINTS AND PULLED DOWN SEVEN BOARDS.
THE GAME WAS NOT PERFECT, HOWEVER. FRESHMAN, FORMER 5-STAR RECRUIT JUDAH MINTZ CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE AS A SECONDARY PLAYMAKER. MINTZ SCORED FOUR EARLY POINTS, BUT WAS THEN HELD SCORELESS THE REST OF THE NIGHT AS HE IS STILL ACCLIMATING TO THE COLLEGE GAME.
FELLOW YOUNGSTERS QADIR COPELAND AND MOONEER HIMA CONTRIBUTED AS AN EFFECTIVE PICK ‘N ROLL DUO OFF THE BENCH. SYMIR TORRENCE AND BENNY WILLIAMS EACH PLAYED SOLID MINUTES FROM A PLUS-MINUS STANDPOINT BUT STRUGGLE TO CREATE THEIR OWN SHOT.
IF THIS TEAM IS GOING TO HAVE ANY CHANCE TO COMPETE, THEY WILL NEED THE YOUNG CAST TO PRODUCE.
