Welcome to Chewing Gum Day!

Chewing Gum Day is a day for gum chewers around the world. Forms of chewing gum got their start millennia ago in different locations, but it wasn't until the 19th century in America when chewing gum began to look like what we know it as today. Early civilizations chewed various substances, such as plants and resins, that were near where they lived. The Aztecs and Mayans chewed chicle, the Greeks chewed resin from mastic trees, and American Indians chewed resin from the sap of spruce trees. Newly arrived Americans soon took after the chewing habits of their Native American neighbors. In 1848 John B. Curtis took this idea and made the first commercial chewing gum in 1848—called Maine Pure Spruce Gum. A gum made out of paraffin wax became very popular soon after this.

John Colgan created the first flavored chewing gum in Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1860's. He mixed powdered sugar with tolu from balsam trees, creating what he called Taffy Tolu. He also was instrumental in the expansion of chicle chewing gum. In 1871 Thomas Adams, a Staten Island New York inventor, also helped popularize chicle. Adams was given chicle from former Mexican president, General Santa Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who thought it could be used as a rubber substitute. Adams noticed Santa Anna chewing chicle as well, and created Adams New York No.1 chewing gum. His company later came up with and sold Black Jack, a licorice flavored gum. William Wrigley soon became the largest maker of chewing gum, and started selling both Spearmint and Juicy Fruit in the 1890's.

Syracuse basketball 2025 recruiting focus after 4-star Ryder Frost selects ACC foe (itlh; Adler)

Ryder Frost, a 2025 four-star wing from Massachusetts who had Syracuse basketball in his top six and officially visited the 'Cuse in late June, verbally committed to fellow Atlantic Coast Conference school Notre Dame via the 247Sports YouTube channel on Friday.

The Fighting Irish, heading into his commitment announcement, had a lot of analyst buzz on various recruiting Web sites, so Frost choosing Notre Dame is hardly a surprise. I wish Ryder much success moving forward.

For the Orange coaching staff, Frost's decision is one of several recent ones where a 'Cuse 2025 recruit opted for another suitor or cut his list while not including Syracuse basketball.

These other examples include:
•Four-star forward London Jemison from Connecticut, who had the Orange in his top six, verbally committing to Alabama.
•Four-star guard Derek Dixon from Washington, D.C., who also at one point had the 'Cuse in his top six, is headed to North Carolina.
•Four-star point guard Keyshuan Tillery from Albany, N.Y., who was mulling a possible second visit to Syracuse basketball, chose Cincinnati.
•Four-star guard Acaden Lewis from D.C., who had the Orange in his top eight and unofficially visited Syracuse basketball in early August, trimmed his list to four finalists, and the 'Cuse didn't make the cut.

Cuban art exhibition debuts at The Atrium in downtown Syracuse today (PS; Sneha KC)

Art for Art’s Sake will host Central New York Artists’ Cuba Exhibition today (Sunday) at The Atrium in downtown Syracuse.

The exhibit features paintings, collages, poems and more from 18 different artists, drawing inspiration from Cuban history and culture. The event runs from 2-4 p.m at 201 E. Washington St. Syracuse.

Richard Breyer and Dennis Kinsey founded Art for Art’s Sake, a community of Syracuse-based artists, to increase exposure and opportunities for artists in Central New York.

“We felt there was a need for more opportunity for artists to show their work,” said Kinsey.

The organization hosted its first exhibition in May and invited people to draw, photograph or paint something inspired by Billie Holiday’s story or music.

“We also thought how we can broaden the experience for the artist,” said Breyer. “Not just to show their work – which is very important – but also to learn something and then paint, draw or photograph.”
