4.10.23 Extra drawing: Sometimes you see a building that you just have to make a painting of! The Nott Memorial at Union College fits the bill with its "High Victorian" architecture, 16-sided structure (one of the only buildings anywhere like that), and a dome in Schenectady, New York. It's named after a long-time president of Union College Eliphalet Nott who held the position for 62 years (1804-1866). This building is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

CANTLON: UCONN NAMES NEW BUILDING TOSCANO FAMILY ICE FORUM

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings STORRS, CT - UCONN'S new building for their hockey teams has a new name, the Toscano Family Ice Forum. A week after Sacred Heart University announced The Matire Family Arena was the name of their new arena, UCONN followed suit announcing their soon-to-be-completed on-campus arena now will bear the name of UCONN Board Trustee Chairman Dan Toscano as The Toscano Family Ice Forum. The full and formal Board approval is expected at its meeting on September 28th. "Dan Toscano and his family have been remarkable friends and supporters of UCONN and our athletics programs for many years and are passionate hockey fans," said David Benedict, Director of Athletics, in a prepared statement. "Our men's and women's programs compete in the strongest hockey league in the nation, and with the help of this gift, they'll now be playing in one of the best campus ice arenas. The amenities in this state-of-the-art facility will transform the fan experience and provide every resource for our student-athletes and coaches to compete at a championship level. I'm grateful to Dan and his family for helping us position us for an exciting new era of UCONN hockey. "Toscano and his wife, Tresa, have made UCONN a philanthropic priority for more than a quarter century, with the majority of their transformational support directed toward students with financial need, attracting top faculty, and athletics, among others." FREITAS RETIRED The Toscano Family Ice Forum will replace the Freitas Ice Forum for both the men's and women's teams. The Freitas Ice Forum will be re-purposed for volleyball after this season. The ice portion at Freitas has reached its shelf life, and unlike the XL Center, its "other home" since its inception into Hockey East, this building will be retired. UCONN will christen their new building with a game against Northeastern with a men's and women's game doubleheader on January 14th, the same day Sacred Heart will open their building when they play Boston College. The Huskies will play its final five home games in the new building, and next season will likely play a more significant number of games there as they seek to cut into the more than $60 million-dollar athletic department shortfall. The Toscanos have been loyal supporters of UCONN Athletics and demonstrated a deep commitment to student-athletes, providing critical funding for capital projects, the Fight On Fund, the strength training facility in the Rizza Performance Center, and teams — basketball, baseball, ice hockey, soccer, and lacrosse. UCONN SCHEDULE The regular season kicks off with two games in Vermont for the first time in over two years on October 1st and 2nd. The Huskies' home opener is set for October 7th in a non-conference meeting with Union College (ECACHL) at the XL Center. All games at the Toscano Family Center are listed as TBD- until the University receives a Certificate of Occupancy to play and host fans. Find their entire season's schedule HERE.

COLLAGE ON VIEW

All Mine

Juan Hinojosa Installation at the Schaffer Library at Union College in Schenectady, New York, USA through Fall 2020. Hinojosa finds inspiration from the glamour of fashion magazines, television, and the lifestyle associated with New York City, but he questions our desires to be part of this world. He collects discarded items such as magazines, advertisements, postcards, and toys to arrange and play with, as a painter might arrange colour with paint. Hinojosa then uses these found objects to create what appear to be symmetrical compositions, although because he prefers not to alter or reproduce any of his collage material, they are, in fact, often asymmetrical in both his small collages and larger wall installations.

Decreasing Amounts of Oxygen Lead to Adaptation in Salmon Eggs

According to a study conducted by the University of Southhampton in the UK, Salmon populations have needed to adapt their eggs in order to survive in Rivers where there is a lack of oxygen. The study shows that the membrane of salmon eggs have been evolving in order to survive in places where there are harmful sediments that reduce the amount of oxygen available for the eggs. In addition, it was discovered that in many European rivers, including the Dorchart River, the Tilt River, and both the North and South Tyne Rivers that there has been a decrease in the quality of water due to sediments being washed off the land. Essentially, this change in water quality has forced Salmon populations to change the way in which their eggs are formed so they can better survive in these conditions

In class we learned about the Safe Drinking Water Act and how Water Treatment Facilities are responsible for managing the quality of water of certain bodies of water. As taught, a lot of their problems come from the runoff of sediments and chemicals that catalyze the growth of algae, which in turn eats up the amounts of oxygen in the water, which has a harmful effect on the organisms that live there. As the article stated, this is likely the reason why the Salmon have had a hard time laying eggs, and have had to form an adaptation.

Ultimately, the study shows that the membrane of the salmon eggs have been becoming thinner, so the embryos can get a better flow of oxygen. Many populations are still experiencing this transformation, which has resulted in the loss of many salmon. In conclusion, this study shows how the harmful effects of the actions done by humans can have a negative effect on wildlife, as well as the environment

Undeniably in the worst shape of my life. Undeniably in one of the happiest places of my life. Getting to play 25 years later on the turf that was home to me for 8 seasons through college was amazing. Having my daughters along to see mommy have fun, and kick some underclassman butt, was the icing. Even though the body is softer and slower, and the lungs are wheezier, having photos of myself playing one of my favorite sports, on my favorite home turf, taken by my own offspring... means more than I can say. We didn't have sideline photographers at our games, we didn't even have team pictures in our yearbooks. The only proof we have of our teams are the random photos we took on our old film cameras, and the paperwork filed away somewhere, not online, not google-able. Our accomplishments and failures were not emailed or tweeted, but they remain in my heart like it was yesterday. I am forever trying to psychology my 'why I do what I do' and maybe this is the answer. Because being an athlete was always something that brought me pride, something I worked very hard for, and felt accomplished as a result. It was goals I set and achieved, and felt so darn good about. As a photographer, I have no photos to show my kids what I once was, once upon a time. Until now, thanks to kiddo number one wielding the big camera. It will forever be one of the happiest days, being able to share that with my kids. I know, I'm a sappy old has-been, but I'm a smiling one! Thank you to the team and much younger alumni who put up with my slowness, and here's to #unioncollegefieldhockey for hosting this game every year. Now I have a new goal - to get in shape and come back for more!

CANTLON: UCONN 2021-22 SEASON PREVIEW

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings STORRS, CT - As if on cue, the first-morning dew on campus heralded a new hockey season for the UCONN Huskies and their head coach, Mike Cavanaugh. “I’m excited to be with the team and to make a deep push in Hockey East and maybe the NCAA tournament (both at the Boston Garden this year). We’ll have our fifth practice today, and I hope we’ll have 16 before next weekend’s first game with Sacred Heart (University) at the XL Center.” SHU is the Division I level team UCONN has had trouble with and has not beaten them at the D1 strata. “Not only have our freshmen, but none of our sophomores have played there, so we want to get them acclimated to the building,” remarked Cavanaugh. LAST YEAR The team, which posted a 10-11 record last year and lost to Providence College in the playoffs’ opening round, hasn’t advanced in Hockey East post-season action. They have a slew of grad transfers, and it’s different but not unique to future opponents. “It was like they were recruiting us in (goalie) Darion Hanson (Union College), Kevin O’Neil (Yale), and (Jarrod) Gourley (Arizona State). They didn’t play last year. They spoke to us, and I have spoken to their coaches, who would love to have had them back for a fifth year, and they spoke highly of them. “Boston University, our second opponent, has seven (transfers). We just have three, and they have been committed to us for a long time. They give us a different perspective and are a great for me and a great resource for our players,” remarked Cavanaugh. IN NET In net, Hanson will share duties with Logan Terness, who’s a highly touted freshman from Trail (BCHL). They will also have one goalie coming off labrum (hip) surgery, Matt Pasquale. They will also have one having it, Ryan Keane (Coppell, Texas), who both had zero time behind the off to the NHL, Tomáš Vomáčka, who played every second last year. “It’s wide open; not a lot of them played last year. Darion has the most experience of the three goalies, so I expect he’ll get the most work early, but we have five or six practices to go before that decision is made.” Upfront, the Huskies have a solid returning cast led by last year’s Hockey East top scorer, senior Jonny Evans. They’ll also have senior Carter Turnbill, and after not being offered a contract, 6’6 center from the Czech Republic, Jachym Kondelik (Nashville). FIRSTOV Vladislav Firstov (Minnesota) is giving Cavanaugh a rare luxury they haven’t had. "This is the best depth we’ve had since I’ve been here. We really don’t have a fourth line. I can spread Jonny on one line, Vladdy Firstov on another, Carter Turnbull on one, Jachym (Kondelik) on another. This could be the strength of our team this year.” On defense, Yan Kuznetsov and Tomas Vomáčka went pro, Kuznetsov, though, was a surprise. “Tomas, a goalie, they offered him a contract, and they give out only five or six goalies. One, you gotta take it, and it shows they think he can play. So, you have to take the contract. Yan, by the same token, was a surprise. It wouldn���t have hurt him to come back,” remarked his now-former head coach. SOPHMORES His younger sophomore class with Hudson Schandor, Artem Schlaine, Cassidy Bowes, and Nick Capone (East Haven/Salisbury School) (Tampa Bay 6th round #157) got to know Hockey East last year, introduced themselves, and got quality minutes. He has high hopes for Capone. “He is really a good player. He can do a lot of things (well) that can translate to getting to the next level. I want him to be more of a factor night in and night out. I want him to play a power forward game like Tom Wilson without the suspensions, antics, and penalties. I want him averaging three or four shots a game, and he’s capable of that, and can bring that intimidation factor to the game too.” On the backline, Jake Flynn and Carter Berger, are a pair that have made early good impressions. CAPTAIN KINAL On his team’s new captain, Roman Kinal, Cavanaugh was philosophical. “He’s on a trajectory like (former defenseman) Wyatt Newpower was (now with Cleveland-AHL). He struggled on-and-off the ice in the classroom the first year and struggled with his play and injuries in his second year.” His freshmen class is a more traditional mix in net with a high-end goalie prospect in Terness, who’s in the mold like Adam Huska and Tomas Vomacka, who both came before him. There’s also a late defenseman to commit, Aidan Metcalfe, and in-state kid Jake Veilleux (South Windsor/Selects Academy at South Kent Prep), another BCHL grad from the Victoria Grizzlies, and Sasha Telguine. “Aidan was a surprise. He is a big kid, strong, skates well; Veilleux can play forward or defense. He’s pretty versatile, and Sasha has a lot of skill. We’re not going to have to rely on them because we’re a veteran team. Injuries in a season will happen, so it’s good to have some players to slide into those positions, on a veteran-laden team.” POSTSEASON HOPES The change in the post-season conference playoff system to the one-and-done structure from the three-game series that Cavanaugh has advocated for over the past several years. “I think you’ll see more conferences going toward it. It mirrors our national tournament. Shooting for Boston is a team goal.” The new captain Kinal replaces Adm Karascik (Ridgefield/Avon Old Farms) will play a post-grad year at ND. “The (Boston) Garden has been talking about all (offseason and all year) Hockey East is there, the Finals (Frozen Four) are there. We’ve been talking about it all year to get to the Garden; that’s our goal. That’s our long-term goal. We also, of course, have individual goals. That starts with winning October 2nd against Sacred Heart and goes from there.” DRAFT PICKS That some of his players and just five nationally (three in the first six picks) with more incoming players selected surprised Cavanaugh. “When you’re drafted, that means the work has just begun. When you’re drafted, you sign a million-dollar deal; you’re taking home $400,000 after taxes, escrow, and paying your agent, and we’re bringing in business people to educate the kids about the business inside and outside of hockey. It’s sticker-shock when you go to places like Seattle and California,” said Cavanaugh. The brand new yet unnamed rink is taking shape. “It’s great,” said Cavanaugh. The new (UCONN) rink will be the second smallest rink in the conference to Matthews Arena (home to Northeastern built over 100 years ago and occupied in 1910.) We’re already getting benefits on the recruiting trail with inquiries from kids we wouldn’t have heard from before, say, three or four years ago. It’s exciting; once a week at the top of the hill, I can look in, and you can see the foundation of the building now.” CAPTAIN PUMPED His captain is equally enthused. “I pass it every day going to class. It’s awesome. You definitely see progress being made. Every year they would talk about. Now you see the stones being set in place. Now you see the work being done. It’s pretty cool were excited for sure,” said Kinal. The season looks to be a bright one for UCONN. COLLEGE NEWS Heading pro is Wisconsin-River Falls (WIAC) player from Division III in Christian Hausinger, with Wichita (ECHL) as the seventh D3 player. The Division-1 breakdown is: Hockey East 29, Big 10 has 23, NCHC 17, AHA 11, ECACHL with eight, CCHA, formerly the WCHA with four, and independent Arizona State with two. Division-I pro signees are 94, underclassmen who have left school early 36, and ALL college players signed from Division I and III in North America are now up to 132. Grad school transfers are at 51, and school transfers are 81 for 132 players who switched schools. In addition, 36 Division I and III have headed to Europe, including the latest Jaako Heikkinen (Denver University). Three went to Canadian college and university, and one went to Canadian major junior. COACHES A whole slew of volunteer coaches and assistant coaches were named. Jordy Murray at ND, Jack Riley heads to Division III independent Albertus Magnus College (New Haven), Ryan Zapolski, former Team USA goalie in the 2018 Pyeongchang, South Korea Games at Mercyhurst (AHA). Peter Ward is the new is senior advisor for coaches at MSU with Dylan Strom, the Spartans volunteer, Matthew Vanden Berg at Maine (HE). Minnesota State in the new CCHA and Colgate ECACHL are the preseason favorites to win their conferences. The brand new Ed Robson Arena at Colorado College ribbon is cutting is coming up shortly.

a first post

I should have written a looooong time ago because I wouldn’t have forgotten some of the crazy shit that’s happened here.

When you’re caught up in the moment, it’s hard to narrate the turn of events. It’s not like a movie or a book, where time stops so that the character can give a 5 minute long monologue about what has happened, what will happen, and how they feel about what happens/happened/will happen. Happen happen happen. You can say it a million times and it ultimately is no longer a word.

I’m a freshman here at Union in the ultra sub-par college city of Schenectady, New York. I have a huge guilty pleasure for loving this place just as much as I hate it. And the list goes on and on. About what I love and hate about this place, as well as what I love and hate about myself. And how I wish I could change some aspects of my character to better conform to the ideal Union College student. 

Union is like any other upper-class, elite liberal arts school in New England. You might be surprised at how similar this college is to Wesleyan in that is claims to LOVE diversity across all aspects. You might also be surprised at how similar it is to a school like Brigham Young for the whitewashed student body, conservative (fucks) and generally mundane people with rich daddies. 

To give anyone here a little background, about 60% of students enrolled here attended a private school. Some people travelled across the country to attend high school, and an even greater number of people are here internationally. Nonetheless the student body (Vineyard Vines, yerd!?, Patagonia (shhhwaggg look @ me!), Calvin Klein wearing (fucks)) is homogenous to say the least. Talk about trying to be a progressive person in 2017; it was my fault in wanting to attend this school solely based on the fact that it’s small and “elite.” The only other college I was accepted to is enormous and too close to home, literally. Very close. Uncomfortably close. And it’s enormous so you’d have no chance at being distinguished from others. Here, we’re on a first name basis.

Don’t worry about who I am. Or what I do. Or why I decided to create this blog. I understand it’s tumblr so I am automatically put in a subcategory of “basic.” I am a girl. I’m a freshman annnnnnd oh shit! Coffee. And the amazing contraptions we have at this school to dispense sugars. Crap. I’m tempted to tell you who I am. I’m.... Opinionated.

This blog was actually inspired by my preexisting journal entries that I created within the first weeks of being here. I talked about my roommates, boys (I’m still a lonely fuck), and the general la dee da’s of campus life. It gets interesting, but only if you aren’t easily offended.

Class picture of Henry Rathbone, graduate of Union College, class of 1857. Rathbone was one of the last people to talk to President Lincoln on the night of his assassination in 1864. He and his wife Clara were guests of the Lincoln's at the Ford Theatre on the fateful night. Rathbone tried to grab John Wilkes Booth after the assassin fired his derringer at the back of Lincoln's head. He was seriously injured when Booth used a knife to slash his arm, then made his escape. He spent the next twenty years wondering if he could have saved the President. In 1883,after a bout of worsening headaches, and marital discord, he stabbed his wife to death on Christmas day, then tried to commit suicide. He was found insane, and don't the rest of his life in an asylum, where he died in 1911. #henryrathbone #unioncollege #abrahamlincoln #johnwilkesbooth #lincolnassassination #antiqueyearbook #fordtheatre #antiquebook #oldbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksofig #engraving #1800s #bookcollecting #booklover #books #cascadebooksellers
