see the world differently

Sometimes, curiosity can get the best of you. Make one discovery and you’ll want to make another. There’s no controlling a

restless mind, or that nagging itch to experience something new. But here at medley, we

consider the innate human trait a virtue. And with this issue, we encourage the constant

wondering—and wandering.

So sink in, satiate that hunger to know. Learn about a distinct culture at La Casita

Cultural Center (p. 12). Then, roam into the nearby neighborhood of Westcott to taste Las

Delicias owner’s Caribbean spin on his mother’s home cooking (p. 21). Step into Syracuse

University student Kathy Calella’s shoes as she dedicates her Saturdays to tutoring

Along the way, remember this quote by author Roald Dahl: “And above all, watch with

glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden

in the most unlikely places.”

It mirrors the motto I’ve adopted this semester, my last as editor-in-chief and as a

student at SU: go with your gut. I’ve learned to follow my instincts and to never stop

questioning. So stretch your mind, and open your eyes wide to take it all in.

There’s much to see.

Happy reading,

“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry

are equal in value no matter what their color.”

- Maya Angelou, American author and poet

“There is no such thing as traditional marriage,” says Terry Reeder. Last semester, the Ph.D student and instructor taught a course called REL 300: Marriage, Weddings, and Religion, where she challenged the idea of traditional marriage. “What you want to do is look at how complicated individuals take traditions from their religious, their cultural, perhaps their sex and gender orientation and you bind them for their own wedding.” Reeder and two SU students NP]L�[OLPY�[HRLZ�VU�KPɈLYLU[�^LKKPUNZ��

12 medley | Spring 2012

An unassuming red brick building sits

on Otisco Street in downtown Syracuse,

surrounded by bleak houses. But inside

the modern structure lies a local treasure.

Tucked inside the Lincoln Building is La

Casita Cultural Center, a vibrant cultural,

artistic, and educational center. Its makeshift

library exemplifies the center’s aim to provide a

gathering place for Latino residents in Syracuse.

Bright books like “Perros y Gatos” and “Las

Cosas Grandes y Chicas” line its little cubbies.

The center occupies 5,000 square feet of

the building now, after existing for four years

without a physical space. April marks the

center’s sixth month in downtown Syracuse. It’s

the second office and brainchild of Inmaculada

Lara-Bonilla, the center’s founding director and

assistant professor of Spanish at

Syracuse University.

In her first year as a visiting professor at SU

in 2001, Lara-Bonilla asked a group of graduate

students the best spots in Syracuse for coffee, or

to hang out. They returned her questions with

blank stares. “That made me think: ‘Why don’t

they know? Aren’t they curious?’” she says.

When she returned to SU in 2005 after

spending a few years in her native Madrid, Lara-

STORY | MEGHIN DELANEYPHOTOS | STACIE FANELLI

Under One RoofCultural center invites Syracuse community to connect

Bonilla decided to bridge the obvious gap

between students and their surrounding

community. “With an outsider’s eye, you

come to see structures that you wouldn’t

see sometimes in your own city or in your

own culture,” she explains.

The idea for La Casita was born.

Although the project has been in the

works since 2008, with the help of Silvio

Torres-Saillant, an English professor at

SU, the center officially opened its doors

in late September. In addition to the

library, there’s a classroom for after-

school activities, a small auditorium for

dance shows, an art gallery, and a

meeting space.

Lara-Bonilla runs the cultural center

with a few students. David Pittman,

a senior international relations

major, is an employee and one of two

students who intern at the center this

semester. Regardless of position, the

employees and interns work toward

the same goal: to promote the arts and

culture in Central New York’s Latino

population through events. The center

collaborates with other organizations

in the area like La Liga, the Red House

Arts Center, and The Near

Westside Initiative.

The programming is participatory,

and visitors are encouraged to pitch

what they would like to see happen

at the center. “If someone in the

community is like, ‘Hey, I want to do a

painting workshop,’ then there can be

a painting workshop,” explains Rachel

Tjornehoj, the communications intern

at La Casita and a senior graphic

design and Spanish dual. She started

her internship there because it blended

her majors perfectly, and she wanted to

get beyond the campus bubble.

Specifically, Tjornehoj works on

increasing publicity by updating the

website, designing the newsletter, and

creating postcards to send out. She tries

to convey the point that the center will

cater to the community’s needs, and La

Casita has proven to be a great point

of contact.

The opening of the center’s current

exhibit, “The Photographer as a Child:

Memories of Guatemala,” is a perfect

example of that. It amazed Tjornehoj to

see SU students and professors mingle

with community members and artists. “I

studied abroad in Chile, so I was talking

to people who had also studied abroad

in Chile, and then I was talking to an

artist who lived around the corner [in

Syracuse], all in the span of 15 minutes,”

she says.

It’s this merging of the community

and university that the center is looking

for in the long run, says Lara-Bonilla.

She aims to implement a hybrid, ongoing

community counsel for the center that

would generate more programming.

Anybody from the university would be

welcome to the counsel, as well as other

community members and leaders. “I’d like

to see the empowerment of new leaders

in the community and proposals from

new leaders, and also more projects from

students,” Lara-Bonilla explains.

One project comes from Amy Behr,

a graduate student in the School of

Information Studies and the library intern

at La Casita. The center’s small library

allows visitors to check out books. It’s

a minimal but important first step to

provide more resources, which Behr hopes

to give to the center’s visitors.

Several have expressed they want

access to popular books from their

countries of origin or books written in

the English language translated into their

native tongues. “It’s an extremely wide

variety of things,” Behr says. “And not

even just books, there’s a huge, huge want

for movies and films, too.”

As she sits in her SU office in the Tolley

Building and reflects on the center’s

growth, Lara-Bonilla seems determined.

Determined to keep going. The dream

began more than 10 years ago, and while

the project has been open for just more

than six months, Lara-Bonilla plans to see

the center thrive through

community support.

“Those moments of collaboration—

when they become a reality—is priceless,”

she explains. “The bridge is happening in

so many directions and at so many levels

that it’s not difficult to keep going.”

“I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE EMPOWERMENT OF NEW LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY.” - INMACULADA LARA-BONILLA, FOUNDING DIRECTOR OF LA CASITA

Inmaculada Lara-Bonilla, founding director of La Casita Cultural Center, helps lead a workshop session for students from Blodgett Middle School in March. During the workshop, students learned the basics of photography and curated their own exhibition for La Casita’s Arts Gallery.

Unfazed by the occasional passers-by glancing in through the large side

Founded in 2008, The Shift Dance Crew has nine members, though

two are currently studying abroad. What originally began as students who

simply wanted to perform at ASIA Night, a showcase of Asian-interest

organizations, have become a diverse group that shares a common passion

for dance. The name symbolizes that, well, shift.

The members erupt in friendly chatter. Some continue to practice the

on April 22.

What the members hope to bring to their performances is summed up

in one word: versatility. Their choreography delves into a variety of hip-

hop styles, from tougher street hip-hop and sultry R&B, to a new style of

dance called “tutting,” in which the dancer’s body makes sharp angles and

geometric shapes. “We wanted to be a crew that’s not only a family but a

group to explore different styles of hip-hop and show the community what

we have,” says Yeh, who has 11 years of dance experience under her belt.

The music trickles back on and everything restarts. Again and again and

again. After repetitively practicing separate sections but not the routine as

a whole, one member poses a question to the group: “Why don’t we just do

it?”

“Excellent idea,” says Yeh with a smirk.

And the music starts again.

Kathy Calella has already put

in several hours of work. She

looks up with an apologetic

smile. “I never really know

what they’re going to be like,”

she says, picking up stray

worksheets and pencils strewn

across the round table.

Standing in the middle

of the music room in Dr.

King Elementary School in

Syracuse, N.Y., it would seem

as if Calella is a bit lost. She’s

only a mile or so from the

Syracuse University campus,

but the Westside can be a

completely different world.

Still, it’s Calella’s second home

every Saturday morning when

she spends two hours with

six energetic, yet sometimes

distracted, ninth-grade boys.

Calella, a senior English

education major, devotes

weekend mornings to a

tutoring program called

International Young Scholars,

or IYS. SU students volunteer

at various times throughout

the week to help immigrant

students in the Syracuse

community improve their

reading, writing, and math

skills. Many of these students

SU volunteers forge bonds with youth through tutoring program

�©��¨�������¤£�¨�©ª§��®�¢¤§£�£���In Their Corner

are Somali Bantu refugees,

whose families have relocated

to the Syracuse area. The

students often struggle with

basic skills in school, which is

where Calella and her fellow

mentors come in.

“The kids need more help

than the schools can give,” she

says. “They’re certainly not

ahead, though they have the

ability to be, if given

the opportunity.”

Upon entering the room,

Calella asks the six boys

around the table if they have

homework. One of them,

Adin, doesn’t have anything

in front of him. “Do you have

homework?” Calella asks. He

shakes his head no. “Promise?”

The first focus of IYS is

to help students understand

their schoolwork. After, they

complete practice exercises

organized by Calella, other

students, and staff who work

in the IYS office. The program

also lends time for games in

the gym to foster bonding

between the mentors and the

students.

IYS began in 2002. Syeisha

Byrd, the director of the Office

of Engagement Programs at

Hendricks Chapel and the

supervisor of IYS, says it was

initially started as a way to

help Haitian immigrants.

Now, the program focuses on

helping Somali Bantu refugees

in cooperation with two

community organizations, the

Northside Learning Center and

the Somali Bantu Community

organization.

To the students involved,

the program is much more

than completing homework

assignments or following a

curriculum.

(From left) International Young Scholars mentor Kathy Calella uses the game Boggle as a learning device. Another mentor, Thomas Badman, discusses a reading with student Hussein Yerow (Top). The program includes games and activites. During one Satuday session, students had a chance to touch a “singing bowl,” in which vibrations from your hands create a resounding tone.

It’s about establishing

relationships with much

stronger bonds than a simple

mentor-student dynamic.

“Sometimes it’s like a

brother-sister relationship,”

Byrd says. “They love each

other and then the next day

they don’t. Because the mentor

pushes them to do what they

have to do. But it’s a nice bond.”

Ron Harvey, the program

assistant and tutor for the

Wednesday night math program,

agrees. “It’s a really interactive

experience, to see how

everybody meshes together,”

he says. “It really becomes

something like a family.”

IYS has programs on Monday

and Wednesday nights and two

programs on Saturdays. About

70 SU students volunteer as

mentors in at least one program

each week, and about double

that amount of youth participate

in the program. Byrd says

keeping up with all the students

can be a challenge. “Once the

youth find out that there’s help,

they flock to you,” she says.

“They want that help.”

¸ÄÃɾÃʺ¹�ÄÃ�úÍÉ�Ŷ¼º��

20 medley | Spring 2012

She also says that mentors can face other

challenges with the students. “Behavior…

um, behavior,” she says, laughing.

“Stubbornness.”

Calella encourages her students during

her sessions. Despite complaints that the

worksheet is difficult—she’s peppered with

pleas of “This is hard, miss,”—she knows

they can understand the work if they try.

“You guys should be able to do these no

problem, because you guys are so smart,”

she replies. But there are other times

that call for Calella to be more adamant.

“Abshir—Do. Your. Crossword,” she says.

Abshir focuses back on the worksheet for

another minute, then goes back to fiddling

with his pencil and murmuring to Yukub

and Reger beside him.

But along with the challenges, Byrd says

the rewards are great. She says that the

constant support from the same mentors

helps students learn about life, as well as

math and reading. “It’s really nice to watch

them work together,” she says. “Especially

because they’re from different faiths and

different cultures and they’re able to

learn and teach one another. Many of the

mentors that I’ve spoken to have said,

‘They’ve helped me more than I’ve

helped them.’”

Harvey sees this in his own experience

as a mentor. “They’ve helped develop me

into a better person,” he says. “My drive

toward being successful and wanting to

create programs like this in my lifetime

has been increased. My willingness to put

my time on the line to help others has

definitely been expanded as well.”

And that time has been well spent,

says Byrd. “The youth we’re working with

now—they’re really starting to get it,” she

says. “They’re starting to learn to read, to

write—and I’ve worked with a few middle

schools and other programs we’ve ran

and the American kids, I feel like are now

behind them.” Byrd would like to see the

program expand to help other students

in the Syracuse community, not just the

refugee population.

Harvey sees the program as a place to

help the students grow and thrive. “It’s

such a great experience to see someone

that has struggled and persevered and

fought their way up past their hatred of a

subject, past their preconceived notions

that they can’t do it,” he says, “and to

really see the strength of these students

and these young men and women is

really great.”

Calella apologizes that the boys weren’t

model students this morning. But despite

a few moments of disorder with a soccer

ball, she handled the morning with a

seasoned experience that can only come

with time spent with the boys, and a

passion to see them succeed. It’s not an

easy road to overcome a language barrier,

a concept of the math system, and the

cultural nuances woven into every aspect

of education. But with Calella and the

whole program in the boys’ corner, the

future looks bright.

the already loaded plate.

“When I grew up, all the time, this is

what we would eat,” Rodriguez says.

Born in the Dominican Republic, he

learned how to cook from his mother.

Since moving to U.S., Rodriguez has

made each traditional dish his own. He

had the opportunity to experiment with

different meals while working in the

food business for years before opening

Las Delicias. “I would make something,

and if it came out good, I would put it

on the menu,” he says. “And here it is!”

While waiting for the meal to arrive, I

could hear the smack-smack-smack of

Rodriguez pummeling the plantains for

my mofongo. Talk about freshly

made food.

Upon arrival, the mofongo looked like

a tower on the large plate. I was hooked

the meal. A crisp outer skin gave way

to a hot, smooth, plump explosion of

tangy sweetness. I ate about 15 and

probably could have continued to

consume them, if only my stomach

was bottomless.

All of the food tasted authentic. What

Rodriguez cooks at the restaurant

is the same food he cooks at home

for his family. As Caribbean food,

STORY | KENDRA OKEREKEPHOTO | COLLEEN BIDWILL

Growing up in a predominantly white suburb in Vancouver, Washington, I always grappled with my self-identity. My parents emigrated from Africa and instilled a strong understanding of African-American culture in me, but I was the only black girl among classmatesand friends and always felt different.

“Every experience I’ve had has contributed to my understanding about my race and myself.” – 2LUKYH�6RLYLRL��ZVWOVTVYL�ÄST�THQVY�PU�[OL�*VSSLNL�VM�Visual and Performing Arts
