MORNINGS ON THE HILL
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2019

GOOD MORNING. I’M TAMAR TURNER. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

AND I’M GILAT MELAMED. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STORIES WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN OUR FIRST HALF HOUR.

SICK CHILDREN ARE GETTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FROM AN S-U STUDENT ORGANIZATION. REPORTER ABIGAIL FRIDMANN TELLS US HOW THEY RAISED THE MONEY.

THIS YEAR MARKS A QUARTER CENTURY OF A LOCAL ORGANIZATION’S WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN. WE’LL TELL YOU WHO’S LEADING THE CHARGE TO END DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

AND A NEW YORK CITY LAW IS BANNING DISCRIMINATION BASED ON HAIR. HAVE STUDENTS ON THIS CAMPUS FACED THE DISCRIMINATION?

ALL THAT PLUS YOUR WEATHER AND ORANGE SPORTS COMING UP ON THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR. ONE S-U ORGANIZATION HAS RAISED OVER 4 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO BENEFIT THOSE WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND LUPUS.
OUR ABIGAIL FRIDMANN JOINS US LIVE WITH THE DETAILS OF HOW AND WHY THAT MONEY WAS RAISED.

GILAT AND TAMAR, AROUND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICANS ARE AFFECTED BY SICKLE CELL DISEASE, AND ONE-POINT-FIVE MILLION AMERICANS HAVE LUPUS. THE SYRACUSE UNIVERISTY CHAPTER OF THE N-DOUBLE-A-C-P HELD ITS ANNUAL FUNDRAISER LAST WEEKEND TO HELP THIS CAUSE. AND THESE DISEASES ARE ESPEICALLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE IN THE ORGANIZATION.
“WELL IT WAS FOUNDED BY TIERRA LAGRANT, AND LUPUS AND SICKLE CELL IS VERY PREVELANT IN HISPANIC AND BLACK COMMUNITIES- AND SINCE WE’RE THE NAACP WE’RE VERY FOCUSED ON HIGHLIGHTING ISSUES THAT ARE PREVELANT IN OUR COMMUNITIES.”
CELEBRATING LIFE, FRIENDSHIP, AND COMMUNITY – THIS FUNDRAISER WAS FOUNDED 10 YEARS AGO, TO HONOR A SISTER LOST TO LUPUS.
“THE DEATH OF MY SISTER TESS ONLY STRENGTHENED MY FAMILY. AS A RESULT, WE USED MY SISTERS PASSING TO SHED LIGHT ON THIS UNFAMILIAR DISEASE AND THE NEED TO FIND A CURE.”
“ALL THE ARTWORK AND JEWLERY YOU SEE WAS DONATED BY SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. LATER ON IN THE EVENING IT WILL BE AUCTIONED OFF, AND THE MONEY WILL GO TOWARDS SICKLE CELL AND LUPUS RESERACH.”
THE EVENT ALSO FEATURED MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, AND POETRY READINGS- WHICH ADDRESSED CURRENT ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY.
*DEAR OFFICER. NAT SOUND*
AND ALTHOUGH THE PAIN OF LOSING LOVED ONES IS STILL STRONG,
“FOR ELEVEN YEARS I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY, A HOLIDAY, OR EVEN ANY MAJOR LIFE EVENTS LIKE THE BIRTH OF A NEICE OR MAYBE A NEPHEW. ”
IT IS HOPED THAT THROUGH THIS FUNDRAISER A CURE FOR THESE DISEASES WILL BE FOUND.
“EVERYTHING IS GOING TOWARDS A GOOD CAUSE, AND YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.”
AND THE N-DOUBLE-A-C-P RAISED FOUR-HUNDRED-EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS THROUGH TICKET SALES AND A LIVE AUCTION. THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT TOLD ME THEY WILL BE ROUNDING UP AND DONATING TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS EACH TO UPSTATE GOLISANO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, AND THE LUPUS ALLIANCE OF UPSTATE NY.
REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO, I’M ABIGAIL FRIDMANN, FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

IT’S TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
IT’S A SNOWY MORNING–
DANIEL BOOTH IS LIVE OUT ON UNIVERSITY AVE TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT.

THANKS TAMAR AND GILAT! AS YOU CAN SEE, IT’S SNOWING, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS IT’S GOING TO STOP ANYTIME SOON.
THE SNOW STARTED EARLY THIS MORNING. AND IT WAS ABOUT 12-DEGREES.
RIGHT NOW IT’S ROUGHLY 15-DEGREES, BUT WITH WIND CHILL AND THE SNOW COMING DOWN, IT FEELS LIKE 0-DEGREES.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, THERE WILL BE A HIGH OF 17 BEFORE DROPPING BACK DOWN TO 16 THIS EVENING AND THEN 12 AT MIDNIGHT
WHEN THE WEATHER GETS THIS COLD, IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOT ONLY CLEAN OF YOUR CAR, BUT START EM UP TO MAKE SURE THE GAS TANK DOESN’T FREEZE.
LIKE SYRACUSE’S PERIMETER DEFENSE AGAINST VIRGINIA ON MONDAY NIGHT. THAT’S IT FOR NOW, BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO. .

TWO V-P-A SENIORS ARE MAKING STRIDES IN THE MEDICAL INVENTION FIELD.
QUINN KING AND ALEC GILLINDER ARE THE WINNERS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY’S INVENTURE COMPETITION.
THE DUO CREATED AN I-V THAT RUNS OFF A BATTERY BACK ATTACHED TO THE PATIENT’S ARM.
THIS ALLOWS THE PATIENT TO MOVE AROUND MORE FREELY THAN WITH TRADITIONAL I-V.
THE INDUSTRIAL AND INTERACTION DESIGN MAJORS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA AT THE INVENT AT S-U SUMMER PROGRAM, AND SPENT THE YEAR PERFECTING THE DESIGN AT THE BLACKSTONE LAUNCHPAD CENTER IN BIRD LIBRARY.
KING SAYS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PRODUCT CAME FROM HIS OWN FAMILY’S EXPERIENCE.
THEY’LL NOW COMPETE AGAINST WINNERS FROM OTHER A-C-C SCHOOLS AT A SHARK TANK STYLE COMPETITION IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA NEXT MONTH.
30 YEARS AGO IN CANADA, A GROUP OF MEN CREATED A CAMPAIGN IN WHICH THEY VOWED TO NEVER COMMIT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN OR REMAIN SILENT ABOUT SUCH INCIDENTS..
MORNINGS ON THE HILL’S DANIELLE BULLUCK JOINS US LIVE IN THE STUDIO WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT IS NOW A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN, AND WHAT S-U STUDENTS CAN DO TO HELP.
IN SYRACUSE THIS MONTH IS THE WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN MONTH AND THIS YEAR IT’S MARKING A MILESTONE.
THIS YEAR MAKES 25 YEARS SINCE VERA HOUSE , A LOCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER, ADOPTED THE WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN THEIR GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO BE INCLUSIVE
VERA HOUSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DIRECTOR LOREN CUNNINGHAM SAYS THE WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN CAN HELP ADULTS HAVE IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUNG PEOPLE

THERE’S A GROWING ISSUE IN SCHOOLS AND WORKPLACES THAT IS CHALLENGING THE WAY SOME PEOPLE GET READY EVERY DAY.
STAY WITH US–THAT STORY AND MORE JUST AHEAD.
THE NEW YORK CITY COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS HAS RECENTLY RELEASED ENFORCEMENT GUIDANCE ABOUT DISCRIMINATION BASED ON HAIR.
OUR KAYLA BURTON TELLS US HOW THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
THANKS GUYS, NEW YORK CITY IS KEYING IN ON HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED BY HAIR. AND AS SHOCKING AS THIS MAY SOUND, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY IN THE COMMUNITY.
COMING FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, WITH DIFFERENT SKIN TONES, TO DIFFERENT HAIR STYLES, IT’S OBVIOUS NO ONE IS THE SAME. WHAT’S NOT SO OBVIOUS IS THE DISCRIMINATION SOME SYRACUSE STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR HAIR.
GRADUATE STUDENT TYLER HOWCOTT SAYS SHE’S EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND.
AND IT TOOK A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN PHYSICALITY TO WIN THIS MATCH.
BLAKE SAYS REGARDLESS OF THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT HIS HAIR, HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF VERY PROFESSIONAL.
WELL I CALL THIS MY “I WOKE UP LIKE THIS” TYPE HAIR STYLE, YOU CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON HAIR IN THE MORNINGS.
REPORTING LIVE IN STUDIO, I’M KAYLA BURTON FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
OUR 10:30AM ANCHORS OLIVIA AND LANDON JOIN US NOW.

THERE WILL BE A FIVE-DOLLAR RAFFLE WITH MULTIPLE PRIZES THAT INCLUDE A SIGNED BASKETBALL BY OUR VERY OWN JIM BOEHEIM.
PROCEEDS FROM THE RAFFLE WILL GO TO THE NON-PROFIT SYRACUSE PARKS CONSERVANCY TO HELP CARE FOR PARKS IN THE AREA.

AND I’M GILAT MELANMED. DON’T GO AWAY. MORNINGS ON THE HILL CONTINUES RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK. OLIVIA AND LANDON AND THE REST OF OUR TEAM WILL BE BACK WITH MUCH MORE.

GOOD MORNING I’M OLIVIA PROIA. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M LANDON WEXLER. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STORIES WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN OUR SECOND HALF HOUR.
A DISABILITY VIGIL BRINGS AWARENESS TO VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIMES.
SPRING BREAK IS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY. FIND OUT WHAT ADVICE DPS HAS TO KEEP YOUR BELONGINGS SAFE WHILE YOU TAKE A SOME TIME AWAY FROM CAMPUS.
A CAMPUS ORGANIZATION CELEBRATES WOMEN IN THE SYRACUSE COMMUNITY AND AROUND THE WORLD.
ALL THAT PLUS YOUR WEATHER AND ORANGE SPORTS COMING UP ON THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
OUR TOP STORY THIS HALF HOUR. DID YOU KNOW THAT DISABLED PEOPLE ARE TWICE AS LIKELY AS ABLE-BODIED PEOPLE TO BE VICTIMS OF A VIOLENT CRIME?
OUR FERNANDO GARCIA-FRANCESCHINI JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO TO TELL US WHAT MEMBERS OF THE S-U COMMUNITY ARE DOING TO RAISE AWARENESS ON THIS ISSUE.
THAT’S RIGHT, GUYS. THE DISABILITY STUDENT UNION AND THE DISABILITY CULTURAL CENTER PARTNERED WITH THE AUTISTIC SELF-ADVOCACY NETWORK TO HOST THE DISABILITY DAY OF MOURNING CANDLELIGHT VIGIL. THIS WITH HOPES OF DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE INJUSTICES THIS COMMUNITY FACES.
ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO. THEY ARE ALL DISABLED PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED BY FAMILY MEMBERS OR CAREGIVERS.
IT’S BECAUSE OF THIS THAT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY HOSTED THE DISABILITY DAY OF MOURNING CANDLELIGHT VIGIL. DISABILITY STUDENT UNION PRESIDENT PRIYA PENNER SAYS THE DEATHS ARE MANY TIMES PORTRAYED AS “MERCY KILLINGS”, WHICH SHE SAYS ONLY POINTS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF RAISING AWARENESS ON CAMPUS.
PENNER, DISABLED HERSELF, SAYS SHE FEELS A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE PEOPLE ON THE LIST.
AND THAT READING IMPACTED EVERYONE, LIKE STUDENT NOELLA BYENKYA, WHO IS ABLE-BODIED, BUT HAS A DISABLED BROTHER.
BYENKYA BELIEVES IN THE IMPORTANCE OF EVENTS LIKE THESE.
THE COUNSELING CENTER, HENDRICKS CHAPEL, AND THE OFFICE OF STUDENT ASSISTANCE ARE ALL AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS TO OFFER ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND PEERS. REPORTING LIVE IN STUDIO FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M FERNANDO GARCIA-FRANCESCHINI. BACK TO YOU GUYS.
IT’S A PRETTY MESSY MORNING OUT THERE–TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK ON YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
OUR DANIEL BOOTH IS LIVE OUT ON UNIVERSITY AVE TO SHOW US WHAT TO EXPECT.
SO IT’S STILL SNOWING OUT HERE, BUT ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S A SOLID CHANCE IT’S GOING TO WARM LATER IN THE WEEK.
EXPECT MORE SNOW FROM THIS AFTERNOON. ALL THE WAY UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING, SO DRIVE SAFELY WHEN YOU’RE HEADING TO WORK OR SCHOOL.
THE WEATHER STARTS TO GET A LITTLE NICER ON FRIDAY WITH SPOTS OF SUN AND A HIGH OF 34.
GET READY FOR THE RAYS OF SUNSHINE ON SATURDAY. IT’LL STILL BE COLD WITH A HIGH OF 34 FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW, BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT DAY TO TRAVEL FOR SPRING BREAK.
THEN TO WRAP UP THE WEEK, EXPECT SOME RAIN THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY, WITH A HIGH OF 43.
I’M WEATHERING SO MANY LAYERS RIGHT NOW, THAT I LOST COUNT! HOPEFULLY I WON’T NEED AS MANY LATER IN THE WEEK. I’M DANIEL BOOTH FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, –BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.
EVERY YEAR STUDENTS TRAVEL FOR SPRING BREAK, AND LEAVE SOME OF THEIR BELONGING IN THEIR APARTMENTS AND DORMS.
IF LEFT UNPROTECTED, THERE’S A CHANCE SOME OF THOSE POSSESSIONS COULD BE STOLEN WHILE THE STUDENTS AREN’T HOME.
STUDENTS LIVING BOTH ON AND OFF CAMPUS ARE POSSIBLE TARGETS FOR BURGLARIES WHEN THEY GO AWAY FOR BREAK. WHEN RUNNING OUT THE DOOR TO LEAVE FOR VACATION, IT’S EASY TO FORGET TO LOCK DOORS, WINDOWS, AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LIVE WITH.

CLOSING BLINDS, LEAVING A LIGHT ON, AND CONTACTING THE POST OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THE MAIL DOESN’T PILE UP, ARE ALL WAYS TO MAKE SURE THEIR HOMES, APARTMENTS, DORMS, AND PRECIOUS ITEMS STAY SAFE, WHILE THEY’RE ENJOYING THEIR TIME OFF FROM CLASS.
FRIDAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY AND OXFAM AT SU TOOK A UNIQUE APPROACH TO CELEBRATE.
TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF WOMEN IN THE SYRACUSE COMMUNITY, THE STUDENT ADVOCACY GROUP ORGANIZED THE FEMINISM IN MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES PANEL. THE DISCUSSION WENT IN DEPTH INTO HOW, NOT ONLY AMERICANS SUPPORT FEMINISM, BUT HOW IT’S CELEBRATED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
ATTENDANCE WAS HIGH TO SEE SPECIAL GUEST YOUTH ENGAGEMENT OFFICER FOR OXFAM AMERICA VANIA LOREDO AND PROFESSORS FROM THE WOMEN AND GENDER STUDIES AND GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENTS PANEL THE DISCUSSION.
TODAY YOU MAY WALK PAST SOME PEOPLE WITH A DARK SMUDGE ON THEIR FOREHEAD… AND IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHY, THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S ASH WEDNESDAY.
CHRISTIANS, ESPECIALLY CATHOLICS, MARK THEIR FOREHEAD WITH ASHES TO SYMBOLIZE REPENTANCE AND THE BEGINNING OF LENT. JEREMIAH DEEP, WHO’S A MINISTER AT S-U’S CATHOLIC CENTER, SAYS ASH WEDNESDAY IS ONE OF THEIR BUSIEST DAYS.
SERVICES WILL BE HELD AT THE CATHOLIC CENTER AT SEVEN THIS EVENING AND AT HENDRICKS CHAPEL AT FOUR AND FIVE-THIRTY PM. THERE WILL ALSO BE A LOCAL CHRISTIAN BISHOP DISTRIBUTING ASHES ON THE STEPS OF HENDRICK’S CHAPEL THIS AFTERNOON FROM ONE TO THREE.
THEY SAY IN SYRACUSE THERE’S TWO SEASONS. WINTER AND CONSTRUCTION SEASON. HERE ARE SOME UPDATES ABOUT THE CHANGES AROUND CAMPUS AS WE PREPARE TO ENTER SPRING… OTHERWISE KNOWN AS CONSTRUCTION SEASON.
STARTING WITH THE BARNES CENTER AT THE ARCH… BUILDING A IS THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY FINISHED, BUILDING B THEY’RE WORKING ON THE LAST OF THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL WORK AND BUILDING C THEY’RE FINISHING UP THE CONCRETE FOUNDATION WALLS. SWIMMERS FRET NOT, THE WALLS OF THE POOL HAVE BEEN POURED.
THE BARNES CENTER AT THE ARCH WILL OPEN BY FALL 20-19.
ACROSS CAMPUS. THE NATIONAL VETERAN’S RESOURCE CENTER HAS ALL OF THE STRUCTURAL STEEL INSTALLED. NOW THEY’RE POURING THE CONCRETE FLOORS AS WEATHER PERMITS. NOW, DRIVERS FRET NOT –THE ONE LANE TRAFFIC ON SOUTH CROUSE WILL ONLY LAST THROUGH THE SPRING.THE VETERAN’S CENTER IS PROJECTED TO OPEN IN 2020.
COMING UP HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL–
A STUDENT RUN ACCOUNTING FIRM IS OFFERING FREE TAX SERVICES AND FINANCIAL ADVICE TO S-U STUDENTS.
ALSO COMING UP.S-U STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS CELEBRATE THE 23RD ANNUAL CHILI BOWL FESTIVAL IN THRONDEN PARK.
STAY WITH US FOR THOSE STORIES AND MUCH MORE HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
THIS PAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON THE WEATHER WAS A BIT… CHILLY YOU MIGHT SAY. AND THE THORDEN PARK ASSOCIATION AND A GROUP OF FRISBEE GOLFERS KNEW JUST HOW TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT PUN.
SUNDAY WAS THE 23RD ANNUAL CHILI BOWL FESTIVAL HELD IN THORDEN PARK WHERE SYRACUSE RESIDENTS, S-U STUDENTS AND DISC GOLFERS CAME TO GET SOME GOOD CHILI TO FUNDRAISE FOR LOCAL CHARITIES.
NO MATTER THE WEATHER, THIS GROUP OF FRISBEE GOLFERS HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO PLAYING IN ANY CLIMATE. PLAYER DON CORBIT EXPLAINS HOW HE AND HIS TEAMMATES MANAGE PLAYING IN BITTER SYRACUSE WINTER CONDITIONS.
“HAND-WARMERS, YOU DRESS UP, YOU’LL SEE GROWN MEN WEARING ONESIES. YOU BUNDLE UP, GET GOOD FOOTWEAR, YOU KNOW YOU’RE MOVING AROUND – IT’S EXERCISE.”
LAST YEAR, THE DAY OF FRISBEE AND CHILI RAISED OVER 32-HUNDRED DOLLARS SO THEIR ANNUAL GOAL OF ONE-THOUSAND CERTAINLY SEEMS IN REACH THIS YEAR.
