News From Hartwell to Hollywood by Lindy Nesbitt, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Former BSG President Ed Tommasi talks about making it big in Tinseltown Since graduating from Brockport in May 2005, former BSG President Ed Tommasi has moved on to the big screen. At Brockport, he was a theater major and his wife Kristin Excell was a major in psychology. Since moving to California, she has been modeling, recently shot for Forbes Magazine and was the cover of Millionaire Magazine. Excell has also been featured in numerous commercials and received a recent call-back for a television pilot. Tommasi, meanwhile, has been concentrating solely on acting. In addition to the typical Hollywood extra roles that one would associate with someone trying to break into the business, he has also landed a major role in an upcoming film featuring former Gridiron Gang cast member Xzibit, with the chance that the movie could be turned into a series for premium outlet HBO. “The series is supposed to be like a new ‘Entourage,’ but a little more gritty,” Tommasi said. “In it, we’re kids from the valley that get into the wrong stuff and we start selling drugs.

“Mommy, I won!” cried out Amber Rose Regling moments after being declared the newest Brockport Idol at the Nov. 30 finale show. After overwhelming audience support pushed her through the first two rounds, it was the judges’ decision that made Regling the recipient of the $500 Visa prize and this year’s title. “It’s so cool,” Regling said. “My daddy’s really proud of me. It’s another thing to call his buddies and brag about. “It was such stiff competition — I had no idea. I feel so loved right now.” Hosts BSG President Frank Guidice and Campus Life Graduate Assistant Yendi Phillips announced that Ma-Abena Aduonum took second place, and like Regling was a judges’ pick. Cherie Tucker took third, while Ashley Hyjek was the last finalist in fourth place. Both Tucker and Hyjek were chosen based on audience applause ... Read more
Sports No landing for flawless Eagles by Greg Parks, STAFF WRITER It may be early in the season, but the women’s basketball team is looking like a serious contender for the State University of New York Athletic Conference title. The Golden Eagles ended their latest road trip at 5-0, after defeating Plattsburgh 62-46, then coming out the next afternoon to beat Potsdam, 59-42. In Potsdam, junior Kim Schon led the team with 16 points, just one day after not getting on the scoreboard against the Cardinals. Brockport got out to a 12-2 lead, and led by 15 at the half. The only time the Bears led was when they scored the first bucket of the game. After that, it was all Golden Eagles. Potsdam never got closer than 13 points in the second half and Brockport’s largest lead of the game was 23 points ... Read more
Campus Talk Let Rudolph Reign by the Stylus editorial board Is it the most wonderful time of the year, the happiest season of all? Maybe not. Recently, festive holiday decorations have come under scrutiny across campus. The decorations seen across campus are non-denominational or represent a variety of religions. December marks the holiday season. If our campus is truly a melting pot of many cultures, the decorations should recognize all cultures. Some areas on campus are decorated for the holidays, using Hanukah décor, alongside Christmas and Kwanzaa. Mixed in are seasonal decorations, such as snowflakes, penguins and poinsettias. The majority of our campus celebrates one of the major holidays in December. The decorations liven up the space for the time of the year, and are reminiscent of home in the busy weeks before finals and winter break ... Read more |
