Cheer up, Syracuse! Johanna Wokolek, right, stars as a woman who disguises her gender to become the leader of the Catholic Church in “Pope Joan.” A second screening was added after Saturday’s red-carpet premier at The Palace sold out.

‘Pope Joan’ makes its Syracuse debut after 10 years, 4 producers, 5 directors and 7 scripts By Russ Tarby In 1996, Donna Woolfolk Cross stirred a hornet’s nest with the publication of her novel, “Pope Joan.” The Catholic Church vehemently objected to its premise that a 9th century woman had disguised herself as a man before rising through the church hierarchy to be elected pontiff. Besides drawing the ire of the Vatican, Cross also stupefied academic historians around the world who haughtily dismissed her book as fanciful fiction – and indeed it was labeled a novel and not a biography. While clerics and scholars scoffed, however, the reading public – especially in Western Europe where the heroine had her roots – heartily embraced “Pope Joan” as a damn good read if not a downright fact. The book was translated into 36 languages and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, and “Pope Joan” attracted the attention of German filmmakers.

Things looked rosy for Cross, the first-time novelist who lived on Onondaga Hill and taught writing courses at Onondaga Community College. But she would soon learn that the film business – not unlike the Vatican – also buzzes like a shaken hornet’s nest. Not long after the novel topped the German best-seller lists, Fine Line Cinema approached Cross’s literary agent to option the rights. “Little did I know then that this would be the first of many attempts that’d fail,” the author recalled. “It took 10 years, four different production companies, five different directors and seven different scripts, two of which were mine,” Cross sighed. “It can drive you crazy.” The first screenwriter to produce a script for Fine Line actually changed the novel’s bittersweet climax into a clichéd happy ending. Cross objected, and – even though she had no experience with screenplays – she insisted on writing one herself. Eventually, she wrote a second script for yet another producer. Along the way, Cross not only spent count-

One of the four lawsuits she filed in Europe

was against a plagiaristic production company. “It was outrageous,” Cross said. “They stole not only characters and scenes from my novel but even dialogue. You’d think they’d try harder to disguise their theft.” It took her nearly two years and $80,000 ▷

to win that suit, and three more legal battles consumed more time and money. “So, contrary to what most people think,� Cross said, “I not only didn’t make money, I was out of pocket for this film for a long time.� Even co-star John Goodman felt the sting of litigiousness as a “Pope Joan� producer sued him in 2007 for reneging on his commitment to play Pope Sergius. They settled out of court, but not before the production stalled. Then a director was fired for comments he made to the press. Then star Franka Potente (“The Bourne Identity�) dropped out. “It was a long, tortuous road I had to travel to bring my novel to the silver screen,� Cross said last week. But that long, tortuous road has clearly taken a turn for the better. After Potente forsook the title role, Goodman returned to the cast, Potente was replaced, and a bona fide British hunk was hired as Joan’s romantic interest. Since the movie premiered in Berlin in October 2009, the book is selling well again, buoyed by Cross’s endless lecture tours, book-club phone chats and indefatigable Internet efforts. The two-and-a-half-hour English-language movie – favorably compared to such historical spectacles as “Quo Vadis� – follows Joan’s struggles through Norse invasions and the sacking of Rome. In modern-day Morocco, Wortmann vividly recreated the Eternal City of the Middle Ages and populated it with bazaar vendors, tooth-pullers, soothsayers, acrobats, pigs, goats and horses. Costumer Esther Walz clad actors in everything from ragged muslin to magnificent silken robes. The deftly layered orchestral score by Marcel Barsotti evoked the era with liturgical chants and medieval melodies. Tom Fahrman’s lush cinematography depicted both the Dark Ages and the bright nebula of religious awakening.

The movie was made for some $30 million, and “Pope Joanâ€? has nearly broken even, according to imdb.com. But U.S. theatrical distribution would likely bring it well over the top. “Taking the film out on the film festival circuit last fall was intended to stir up interest [among distributors],â€? Cross said. “This strategy seems to be working, and we have a couple of small nibbles already.â€? Directed by SĂśnke Wortmann (“The Miracle of Bernâ€?), the movie stars Johanna Wokalek (“The Baader Meinhoff Complexâ€?) as Pope Joan. The supporting cast includes John Goodman, David Wenham (“Lord of the Ringsâ€?), Iain Glen (“Resident Evilâ€?) and newcomer Lotte Flack as Young Joan. Flack plans to walk the red carpet at the movie’s Syracuse premiere at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the Palace Theater in Eastwood. General admission ($30) and VIP Tickets ($90) are available at popejoan.com. Proceeds will support the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation; 637-9511. Because of brisk ticket sales, a second screening has been scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, April 3. Before Saturday’s screening, Cross will discuss the transformation of her book into a motion picture. After so many obstacles were faced and overcome, Cross said, “I got luckyâ€? with director SĂśnke Wortmann and screenwriter Heinrich Hadding. “They had the self-confidence, born of talent, to include me in the project at every step along the way,â€? she said. They asked Cross to look over an early draft of the script and invited her to visit sets during shooting in both Germany and Morocco. They even asked her advice about casting. “When they asked me for a suggestion about what actor should play Gerold, the handsome red-headed hero of my novel, I didn’t hesitate.

‘David Wenham,’ I said. When I saw him in the role of Faramir in ‘Lord of the Rings,’ I gasped out loud because there, on the screen before me, was Gerold – exactly as I described him in my novel.� Cross’s father, the late novelist William Woolfolk, came from a show-business family in New York City, and her father and mother, Dorothy, entertained via the comic book industry where they created popular tales of colorful characters.

DO KIDS GET A SPORTING CHANCE?

Simply signing their children up to play school sports does not necessarily ensure that kids will get all the exercise their growing bodies require. On average, researchers have found that school soccer and baseball/softball players exercised heavily for only 45 minutes during practice. This is 15 minutes less than the amount suggested by national guidelines that recommend children get a total of at least 60 minutes of moderate to heavy exercise daily. Fewer than half actually do, and teenagers fare even worse. This news may come as a bit of a shock to parents of the more than 40 million youngsters who play school sports. Much

Deep in her very veins, Cross knows that only the bumpiest roads lead to Broadway. And that may be where “Pope Joan� herself is bound. “Hair� producer Michael Butler backed a musical theater version of the novel in Los Angeles and Chicago, and earlier this month Cross toured eight German cities to promote the show. “Don’t laugh,� she exclaimed. “It’s actually quite good – rather like ‘Les Miserables.’�

More films, sponsors and topics at 12th Reel Queer Film Festival By Gina Colonette The Eagle Intern Open Doors, a Syracuse University group for queer graduate students and friends, is using this weekend’s film festival as a way to bring the broader Syracuse community together to address issues typically only associated with the LGBT community. The Reel Queer Film Festival aims to reduce prejudice and ignorance by telling the stories of LGBT community around the U.S. and world, but it’s really done for the youth, planning committee member Benjamin Zender said. “If you grow up queer and you don’t see a lot of images of yourself reflected around you, you tend to feel isolated and confused,” said Zender. The 12th Annual Reel Queer Film Festival runs Thursday March 31 to Saturday April 2 at SU and screens nine films looking at themes like disabilities and race and gender identities, which haven’t been covered in previous years. “We want to feature a variety of experiences and identities and look into directions we didn’t look into last year,” Zender said. And this year, the festival boasts more films and sponsors, a more professional feel with an increased budget and a professionally-designed poster. Friday’s screening of “Bear Nation” will be followed by a Q&A with director Malcolm Ingram, another first for the festival. Another highlight of the festival will be the short film, “Beyond Better: A Manifesto for Queer Youth,” put together by Professor Margaret Himmely and students in her Queer Writing Class. The film is a critique of the It Gets Better Project, formed in September 2010 in response to a number of recent teen suicides linked to anti-gay bullying. Instead of simply telling gay, bi-sexual and transsexual youth that “it gets better” over time, the group dissected the statement and to show how teens can make the world a better place individually. With four times more sponsors from outside the LGBT and gender studies communities, Open Doors hopes to make the event accessible to everyone. Zender said queer issues are not just something that should affect “gender studies departments.” “It’s a free event and we do that on purpose,

‘Queer Students CNY’ workshop for K-12 instructors

In 2012, the New York State Dignity for All Students Act will require all schools to provide supportive learning environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning students. To help educators prepare for the implementation of the law, think-tank QuERI (Queering Education Research Institute), will hold a half-day workshop Friday April 1 from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. for K-12 instructors to discuss improving school climate for LGBTQ students. “Queer Students CNY: A Day of Art, Education and Action,” is sponsored by QuERI, a research initiative affiliated with the SU School of Education’s Cultural Foundations of Education Department. Workshop sessions include “Supporting the Transgender Elementary School Student,” “Bullying, Gender Policing and Middle School,” “The LGBTQ High School Experience,” and “Looking Toward DASA Compliance.” The Queer Students workshop will feature artwork from more than 60 area youth exploring their experiences as LGBTQ students in CNY, as well as an original student theater piece on being LGBTQ in CNY schools. A panel of LGBTQ students will discuss their experiences in schools and share their vision for more supportive school environments. Registration is free and open to educators, pre-service teachers and students, and allies of the LGBTQ community; RSVP to rsis@syr.edu or 443-3343. The workshop will be held at XL Projects Gallery, 307 S. Clinton St.

so everyone should feel welcome in that room,” Zender said. Screenings all begin at 7:30 p.m. in Room 207 in the SU Hall of Languages.

Viewpoints Our view

What are you saying? Let us hear it! A few weeks ago, we started a new feature in The Eagle to spark dialogue among readers and community members. The “What you’re saying” section poses a weekly question, then asks for reader input. We run a few of those responses in the following issue to share with you the voices and thoughts of other readers, your neighbors. Since last week’s question wasn’t much of a hit (we asked if you’d noticed price increases in your favorite hot beverages), we decided to use this opportunity to sum up what we have heard from you so far. In general, you’re in favor of restoring historical buildings rather than tearing them down and building new. You’re pretty much evenly split on whether parking downtown is a pain, but gas prices definitely are, you say. And when it comes to walkable neighborhoods, Syracuse has plenty -- like Westcott, Eastwood and Butternut Circle -- but they’re sometimes overlooked. The point is, when we hear from readers we get to know you,which means we get a better understanding of what you want to see in The Eagle. So don’t be shy! Your opinion is important -- that’s why we’re making it easier for you to share your point of view with us. The “What you’re saying” question is posted on Thursday on our wall at facebook. com/theeaglecny. You can respond to it directly by commenting on the wall (you have to “like” the page first, though). Or you can be added to the email list and have the question sent to your inbox. Just let us know at editor@theeaglecny.com. You can respond to the question via email to that address, too. And of course, you can find the question printed in the Viewpoints section of the paper. Here is next week’s question: How long will you wait to get your bike out of the garage, and where will you take your first ride? We hope to hear from you!

Letters policy The Eagle welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must bear a daytime telephone number, for verification purposes only. We reserve the right to edit for space, clarification or to avoid obscenity, but ideas will not be altered. Letters should be no more than 500 words long. Letters used do not necessarily reflect the newspaper’s opinions. Anonymous letters receive no consideration. Send letters to editor@theeaglecny.com.

The pursuit of happiness in CNY A new study published in the Atlantic Monthly attempts to quantify the amount of happiness people in various communities feel, and Syracuse, it seems, is a little below average on the joy meter. We’re happier than Uticans, who are near the bottom of the smile scale, but not as happy as those who hail from Rochester or Albany. No upstate cities are particularly cheery. Of course, it’s March, and although the snow has mostly left, the biting winds and horizontal rains of our early spring are enough to make even the heartiest of Central New Yorkers wince a little bit. And with our collective pride wrapped so closely to the Syracuse Orange’s tournament hopes, this season’s premature exit did little to brighten spirits in these parts. So … I’ve noticed a collective grumpiness in the last few weeks. But what’s interesting about the study are the similarities between grumpy places and happy places. In a lot of cases, the happy towns and Syracuse have quite a bit in common. Several are college towns (Lincoln, Neb., Burlington, Vt., Boulder, Colo.). And before you tell me that weather is the dominant factor, a look at the happy map would show that there are a lot of cold-weather cities that

tip the smile scales, and a bunch of warm-weather locales where frowns appear to be the norm. Madison, Wis. is a From the happy place, according to this study. I was briefly there a few years ago and it reminded me of Syracuse. And by a demographic and climate standpoint, there are a lot of similarities. Madison is bigger than Syracuse (208,000 people as opposed to 145,000), but like Syracuse, the focal point of the town is the university. It has a cleaner, nicer lake than Onondaga Lake, but the weather is similar (Madison is a little colder, Syracuse is quite a bit snowier). Like Syracuse and many college towns, there are a number of arts and cultural attractions that are unavailable in other small cities. And similar to the place we call home, Madison seems to spill out of itself into a suburban sprawl that I found very familiar. There are subtle differences. A higher percentage of Syracusans live as families, and more Madisonites live alone (solitary happiness?). Syracuse is a significantly more diverse place than Madison, which has a minority population of only 16 percent, compared with around 45 percent in Syracuse according to our most recent census. But that doesn’t explain why they’re

Tyler

Publisher

happier. According to this study, it comes down to a few important things, which can be summed up in one word: money. The median household income in Syracuse is $30,075. In Madison, it is $49,595. Money can’t buy you happiness, but the lack of it can create a whole lot of pain. When a community’s economy is hurting, it shows on the faces of its residents. High unemployment, low wages and over-taxation don’t warm your heart. I love the seasons and the snow and the camaraderie this community offers. Our long winters make our glorious late springs and summers all that much more enjoyable. We have friendly neighborhoods, many great schools, beautiful lakes and parks, and a diverse culture. I’ve never wanted to live anywhere else. Nonetheless, there are economic barriers in Upstate New York that don’t exist in other parts of the nation. Until those barriers are removed and our state and local leaders adopt forward-thinking economic policies, more and more people will take their pursuit of happiness elsewhere. And that won’t make anyone smile. David Tyler is the publisher of Eagle Newspapers. Reach him at dtyler@eaglenew sonline.com.

City should not be betting on our future It has become evident that in their quest to raise additional revenue, cities across the country have resorted to a variety of measures designed to generate much needed cash. Syracuse is no exception. In our dire financial straits we need to find ways to take the burden off property owners’ backs. Escalating costs are forcing towns and villages to review, and at times combine, resources in efforts to save money. The city of Syracuse is actively seeking to embrace gaming or gambling as a way to increase revenue, therefore decreasing the need for property tax increases. Gambling is a horrid way to raise funds for a municipality, in my opinion. We might as well invest in a crack house and install

pole dancing in Clinton Square. Giving funds to Say Jackson YES to Education conjures up visions of better school funding promised with the introduction of the state lottery… remember that? Playing numbers, betting on horses, and playing the slots for some is a relaxing, entertaining way to spend time and money -- if you have it. However, we see time and time again the impact of gambling on our community. Especially how it affects the poor. Our area has experienced increased bankruptcies since the legalized gambling has arrived on the scene. For many people gambling is addictive, like crack cocaine or Oxycodone. It’s as addictive as any drug you can buy at the pharmacy or from your local drug dealer.

To the editor: It is time for the advocates of ethanol as an additive to gasoline, especially ethanol made from corn, to stand up and admit the unintended consequences of this production. Many scientists now agree that when ethanol is added to gasoline and used in vehicles with internal combustion engines it creates a number of new driveability problems. Vehicles that use ethanol mixed with gasoline also get decreased gas milage. But the biggest unintended consequence of ethanol production happens when corn is used to make ethanol. Corn is a key food not only in this country, where it is used to produce sugar, feed people and feed animals, but all around the world where many people depend on it as a major source of food. When the price of corn dramatically increases this increases the price of many other foods all around the world especially in the poorest countries.

It is unacceptable for this country which has been for several generations the major source of food for many nations around the world to turn its back on those nations to turn food into fuel especially when there so many other sources of fuel. If ethanol was improved and determined to be the best replacement for gasoline then it could be made from many materials, from plant waste to even grass, and that grass could be grown on marginal land rather than the best farm land. There are many reasons for the current sharp increase in food prices in this country and around the world and while we can’t control some of those we can control the increasing use of America’s best farmland to grow fuel corn rather than food corn. It’s time for another change.

IT HAPPENS HERE!

To the editor: My heart goes out to the people of Japan as they face the many challenges of mourning the many dead, searching for missing people and dealing with the variety of destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami. I fervently hope that the spiraling nuclear problems don’t expand beyond what has already occurred. Following the contradictory and incomplete information in the news about the nuclear disaster brings me back to this same time of year 32 years ago. As a high school senior, already concerned about our reliance on dwindling fossil fuels and their environmental consequences, I was frightened to learn about the nuclear accident at the Three Mile Island plant. Like now, we were told it wasn’t really dangerous, but we had to read between the lines to learn what was really going on. I was fortunate to attend a seminar at a nearby college where I heard speakers offer scientific information about what was underway, and more importantly, a political analysis of why our nation was pursuing the so-called “peaceful atom.” The combined power of greedy corporations and corrupted politicians put us at risk. I joined the grassroots effort to stop the construction of the Shoreham Nuclear plant near my hometown. That anti-nuclear activism, combined with the economic realities of the nuclear industry, led to the halt to the construction of nuclear

power plants in the US. Despite repeated efforts by the nuclear industry to build new plants, it has been decades since any have come online. In recent years, partially in response to climate change, there has been a renewed effort to revive nuclear power. Concerned citizens once must again raise our voices and take action to stop this dangerous trend. In the wake of the Japanese nuclear disaster (which may get much worse), President Obama has restated his support for nuclear power. In addition to the dangers of accidents, there are so many reasons why this is mistaken policy. Investments in nuclear power will take decades to produce electricity, while similar development of renewables such as solar and wind can come online much more quickly and provide long-term, sustainable power. There is no safe way to deal with the massive quantities of nuclear waste generated by these plants. Once again, it is up to the people of this country stand up and defend our environment, our health and our economy. If we were able to successfully stop the Shoreham and Seabrook nukes, as well as many others, there’s no reason we can’t be successful again today. In doing so, we can lay the foundation for energy policies based on conservation, renewables and green jobs, exactly what we need for a better future.

Legislation could make paying school taxes easier Proposal won’t lower tax bills, would improve upon existing partial payment plan, says William Meyer By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com Onondaga County Legislator William Meyer (R-3rd District) last week announced he would urge the legislature to support a bill to improve upon the system that allows taxpayers to pay school taxes in installments. School districts in Onondaga County already have the option of allowing taxpayers to split their school tax bill into three installments, but the current system could be improved, said Meyer. The current plan allows taxpayers to pay 50 percent of their entire school tax bill by the

first deadline at the end of September, Meyer said, then 50 percent of the remainder is due by the end of October. The last installment is due by the end of November. Under the current plan, tax receivers can only accept the entire amount of the first installment, and if the first installment isn’t paid in full by the deadline, the entire tax bill is sent to the county, Meyer said. “If they can’t make the first payment, then they can’t do additional partial payments, because once they miss that full 50 percent down and they miss it by the date, they’re disallowed from payment plan,” he said. In that case, the county will “act as the bank” and make the school district whole by fronting the school district the money the taxpayer failed to pay, but the district won’t see that money until the following April, Meyer said. In the meantime, the taxpayer is charged interest, which goes back to the county for the costs of bookkeeping, he added. Meyer’s proposal would formalize the

county legislature’s support for the bill sponsored by Sen. John A. DeFrancisco’s in the Senate, which Meyer feels improves upon the existing partial payment plan. The primary difference is that tax reLegislator ceivers would be alWilliam Meyer lowed to accept less (R-3rd District) than the entire first installment, and the amount would go directly to the school district without the lengthy layover at the county level first, Meyer said. Even if the taxpayer walks in with less than 50 percent of their tax bill, the school district will get whatever they can pay, Meyer said. The county would take over the remainder of the unpaid bill, Meyer said. ▷

He said he hoped that districts would see that under his proposal, they would be better off. “The bottom line is does this help high tax bills? No,� Meyer said. “But it is a tool to make it easier for taxpayers to pay the bill, it helps to get money to the districts in a timely manner.� And school districts can still decide to opt in or out of the partial payment plan with a two-thirds vote of the school board, he said. Meyer’s proposal is expected to go before the legislature at the April 5 legislative session.

Meyer said about nine of the 17 school districts in Onondaga County do not participate in the partial payment plan, so taxpayers in those districts do not have the installment option. For residents living in the Syracuse City School District, school and city taxes are already on the same bill and paid in four installments throughout the year. “I’ve heard that some districts didn’t want to do it because they figured they were going to get made whole by the county anyway,� Meyer said.

‘Odd Couple’clicks at odd venue

Accents and earrings

That’s not to say this “Odd Couple� is perfect. For a show that’s set in Manhattan in 1960 there’s a decided lack of downstate accents among cast members. Even worse two characters, – including Brazil’s Oscar – sport gold earrings, of all things. Those of us old enough to remember know that the only men who wore such jewelry in 1960 were transvestites and out-of-the closet gayblades. And Brazil’s scraggly beard appears about a decade before facial hair became fashionable. Those period details aside, though, this show deserves appreciative audiences. Simon’s script about two polar-opposite divorced guys sharing an apartment is still funny after all these years, and this cast rises to the occasion to milk the daffy dialogue for a barrel of laughs. The leads are perfectly cast. The beer-bellied Brazil stands as the archetypical man’s man while Vander Werff ’s Felix is rail-thin and fidgety as an old maid.

Polar opposites

As Oscar bellows boisterously, Felix complains constantly. Sometimes he fumes in silence, and Vander Werff is a convincing facial contortionist whether popping his ears or pouting over burnt London broil. Directors Daniel and Steven Rowlands gathered a decidedly quirky supporting cast. James Uva as Speed and Greg Hipius as Murray the cop each utilized Noo Yawk twang. Two more poker playing pals are played by Alan Stillman and David Vickers, who both create colorful characters despite their lack of lines. In Act 2, as Felix endlessly annoys Oscar

Russ

with an aerosol can and a vacuum cleaner, the sudden appearance of two air-headed neighbor girls provides a needed flicker of feminine presence in the ol’ bachelor pad. Wendy Viggiano and Anne Freund seem to have a ball playing two swinging sisters from London named Gwendolyn and Cecily Pigeon, and the birds’ innocent appreciation for the odd couple actually helps save the guys’ relationship. “The Odd Couple,� runs at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 31, and Friday and Saturday, April 2 , at the Fire and Ice Banquet Facilities at The Locker Room. Couples can dine and catch the show for $55; dinner and show for singles costs $29; and tables of eight cost $199. For show only, you pay $20. For tickets, call 446-1461.

McDowell helped found Eureka

Pastabilities’ happy hour will never be the same. One of its longtime regulars, Eureka Studios woodworker Bill McDowell, died March 21 at his home in Fabius. Having graduated from Syracuse University’s art program in 1968, McDowell went on to help establish Eureka Studios in 1976 in downtown’s Armory Square. Seven years later the studio’s artists incorporated as Eureka Crafts, at 210 Walton St. Following Eureka’s lead, quaint gift shops, restaurants and specialty retailers have since filled Armory Square. McDowell’s funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Sunday April 3, at Fabius Community Church followed by a reception at the Highland Forest Park Lodge. Bill is survived by his wife, the versatile artist Deborah Haylor-McDowell.

Oscar Madison (J. Brazil) invites the Pigeon Sisters in, to the chagrin of Felix Unger (Gerrit Vander Werff Jr.), in Not Another Theater Company’s “The Odd Couple.� Armory Square, downtown. Admission is always free, and the Factory’s food pleases every palate. Its namesake suds are pretty satisfying as well; 471-2253.

Chiefs open here April 13

After the winter we’ve just survived, it’s no wonder that thousands of us are jonesin’ for baseball. The Syracuse Chiefs start swinging their bats at Alliance Bank Stadium at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 13 against the Pawtucket Red Sox. In their third year as the top affiliate of the

Washington Nationals, the Chiefs will field a team with a new manager, Randy Knorr, several new players such as hitters Jonathan Van Every and Michael Aubrey and a handful of familiar faces like pitchers Craig Stammen and Collin Balester. Alliance Bank Stadium is located on the city’s North Side, just east of the Regional Market, at Tex Simone Drive (First North Street). Field-level ticket prices range from $12 to $20 this season, while upper-deck seats cost $8, and $4 for kids and seniors. The stadium parking fee has increased to $5 per vehicle; 474-7833; syracusechiefs.com.

Big band at Suds April 6

The hard-driving Salt City Jazz Collective returns to the Syracuse Suds Factory at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 6. The 16-piece orchestra led by trombonist Joe Colombo boldly delivers compositions by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. The band has also forged its own sound by performing original tunes by band members Joe Riposo and Angelo Candela. The Collective performs on the first Wednesday of each month at the Suds Factory, at South Clinton and Walton streets, in

The classic comedic clash of the nebbish vs. the neatnik plays out this weekend at an unpretentious North Side nightclub. Neil Simon’s biggest hit, “The Odd Couple� stars two of Syracuse’s most gifted actors – J. Brazil and Gerrit Vander Werff Jr. – as slob sportswriter Oscar Madison and clean freak news writer Felix Ungar, respectively. Produced by Dustin Czarny’s Not Another Theatre Co., the play’s staged at an unassuming, dare we say unsightly blue-collar bar with the wordy name Fire and Ice Banquet Facilities at The Locker Room, 528 Hiawatha Blvd. East. With sheer force of energy, however, Not Another Theatre Co. manages to rise above its humble surroundings to present above-average entertainment.

Centro tells riders: take a hike

Galleries

What happened in ‘That Year of Living?’

A fare hike, that is. If you a regular Centro rider, it might be a good time to consider buying a bike. The Centro board voted last week to raise fares to $2 beginning May 2, a 75-cent hike per ride for cash-paying riders. For users of pre-paid fare cards, the in-

19

crease is a quarter, from $1.25 to $1.50. Traveling from downtown Syracuse after 12:30 a.m. on weekdays? Starting May 2, riders will have to find an alternative – service from downtown ends 30 minutes past midnight on weekdays. Additionally, some routes are being cut all together. Find out if you’ll have to find alternative transportation at centro.org.

Light Work gallery is currently showing “That Year of Living,� a collection of stunning black and white photographs by Jeffrey Henson Scales. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008, the New York Times photo editor was forced to, in his words, weigh the possibilities of his own demise, and whether he had achieved what he felt he was put here to do. The diagnosis and contemplation, along with the urging of his wife, Meg Henson Scales, led him to return to making photographs on a daily basis. The images in “That Year of Living,� were made following Scales’s diagnosis, surgery and recovery.

New at the zoo

It’s a boy and a girl!

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo announced last week the birth of its 44th Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth. Ocabo, left, was born Feb. 9; he is the son of Bite Lip and Beauregard. The name Ocabo (Oh-cob-oh) comes from a Latin American word meaning “head,� and was chosen because of the young sloth’s exceptionally large skull. After some initial supplementation from zoo staff, Ocabo is thriving and can be seen on exhibit with the other sloths. Because the zoo maintains a hands-off approach with primates, it was several weeks before officials were able to determine the gender of the baby patas monkey born Jan.7. The long-awaited answer? It’s a girl! DJ, right, was named in memory of a longtime zoo employee who recently passed away.
