Syracuse Chiefs continue winning ways

Slowly but surely, the Syracuse Chiefs continue to pull their way up the ladder in the International League’s North Division standings.

After winning three straight over the Charlotte Knights here at Alliance Bank Stadium last week, the Chiefs found themselves in fourth place with a record of 22-25, just three games below .500.

Mahoney lands Alliance Network endorsement

Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney has done something that is virtually impossible for a Republican: she snagged an endorsement by a major black political organization.

Oh, what was not mentioned at the press conference is the $350,000 the county made available to another group Dixie heads which has allowed them to purchase a former painting contractor site for a future grocery store.

Baker Jen Comfort debuted her cupcake cart last week at Eastwood Plaza, and will return from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Mondays, weather permitting. The cart will also set up at Manlius Farmers Market from noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.

Cupcakes exploded as the new foodie trend in major cities years ago, but – as trends are often wont to do – only filtered into Syracuse more recently. Which is fine by Manlius baker Jen Comfort, who revels in the chance to be the first to do something. And in this case, that means stocking a shiny steel cart with cupcakes and taking her sweets to the streets in the Syracuse area’s first cupcake cart.

By about 9:30 last Monday morning, the day’s menu went up on the Nonpareils Boutique Bakery Facebook page: plain, chocolate with chocolate buttercream and ganache, chocolate peanut butter, and clementine with orange scented butter cream.

Three hours later, Comfort trucked her cart to debut in Eastwood Plaza on James Street and set up temporary shop just off the sidewalk.

Comfort has served high-end cakes and sweets from her Manlius bakery, Nonpareils, for about 10 years. In 2010, it was “time to grow up a little,” she said, which included a name change for the shop (formerly She Takes the Cake), and a chance to try something different, incorporate social media and “bring the fun back” to the

business.

“Cupcakes are an extension of what I already have been doing,” Comfort said. But going mobile “was a way to branch out, get around and do something fun, new and exciting.”

She’ll continue taking and making custom cake, cupcake and cookie orders, she said, and the bakery showroom at 8195 Cazenovia Road in Manlius will be open from noon to 3 p.m.

Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Nonpareils Cupcake Cart will set up from 12:30 to 4 p.m. in Eastwood Plaza Mondays, and from noon to 4 p.m. at Manlius Farmers Market on Sundays – weather permitting and cash only. The day’s flavor lineup will be posted on the Nonpareils Facebook page and Twitter account, @cnycupcakeccart. Customers should check Twitter for updates about sell-outs and in case weather causes her to pack up early, Comfort suggested.

She said she plans to expand the cart’s regular locations as the season continues and that the cart is available for event rental, too.

And if you’re tempted, but just can’t allow yourself one of Comfort’s mouth-watering single-serve treats, consider this: underneath the icing, a cupcake and muffin are pretty much the same thing.

Downtown After Dark A song called ‘Syracuse’ The Henhouse Prowlers, a Chicago band that sings a song called “Syracuse,” will perform at 8 p.m.

Friday June 3 in Homer.

Catchy chorus

The song depicts the couple driving back home to Syracuse from Illinois. It features a catchy chorus with the lyrics: “And when you get back home to Syracuse/ You can rest your weary head/ Take some pills, sniff some cocaine,/ Put the baby to bed.”

Now, although Weigel’s no longer with the band, the Henhouse Prowlers proudly perform “Syracuse” and will likely sing at their appearance at 8 p.m. Friday June 3 at the Homer Center for the Arts, 72 S. Main St., in Homer. Ticket prices range from $10 through $18; center4art.org; (607) 749-4900.

Despite its upbeat rhythm, “Syracuse” is a dark and brooding composition, a bitter slice of life prompted by a couple of wayward parents from our hometown.

The tune’s description on YouTube describes it as “a poignant and riveting song about a young couple’s propensity for drug

Dismal themes

The Prowlers’ original material is more urban-oriented than much of the standard bluegrass repertoire, but even the songs of Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley can be dark as a dungeon, dealing with topics such as murder and infidelity. Countless bluegrass bands play

use while raising a newborn child.”

Story behind the song

In 2002, Weigel, who now has a wife and daughter of his own, was then living with a handful of band-mates in the Outlaw Family Band, a rock group in which he played electric guitar.

“There were about 20 people living in our house, and it was a few years after Jerry Garcia had died and the Grateful Dead were playing up in Wisconsin at Alpine Valley,” Weigel recalled. “A couple from Syracuse who knew some of our house-mates went to that show and, on their way back home, ended up staying with us for a week.”

The visitors made a memorable entrance.

As they pulled up to the house, their SUV crashed into a car parked in the driveway.

“He had bottle of vodka, and they were both drunk, but they also had a six-monthold kid,” the songwriter said. “It was a chaotic mess. They liked to party and having a kid didn’t stop them from that one bit -- a real dysfunctional family. When they left we all kinda breathed a sigh of relief, and as I thought about that couple driving home the chorus came to me, ‘when you get back home to Syracuse you can rest your weary head.’”

Russ

Tarby

Homecoming for banjo man

More recently, Weigel got to see Syracuse for himself. A few years ago he drove here to attend his sister’s wedding.

“When I was driving out there myself, I thought about that couple in the song and how miserable they would’ve been in their car,” Weigel said.

78520

Unlikely as it may seem, one of the most popular tunes performed by a Chicago-based band is a song called “Syracuse.”

When Windy City guitarist James Weigel wrote the song eight years ago he had yet to visit the Salt City. His inspiration was not our bedraggled burg itself but a pair of our rowdier residents. A young couple who lived here had crashed at a communal home of musicians, and their devil-may-care behavior inspired his tune.

The guy and gal, who drove a new SUV, had a baby boy with them when they visited the Midwest. Raising a child, Weigel noted, didn’t stop those poor little rich kids from their primary pursuit -- getting high.

One of the Henhouse Prowlers, banjoist Ben Wright, hails from Homer. Wright moved to Chicago in 2000.

“Our ‘Syracuse’ song definitely gets in people’s heads,” Wright said. “It’s such a great story, told in an almost angry voice. Everyone who comes and sees us in Chicago knows it.”

Homeless and hungry: how to help

The plight of our veterans was already at the forefront of our minds this weekend when we first heard that most panhandlers who claim to be homeless veterans are not actually worthy of the title. Most, it turns out, are using the title to access the sympathy and spare change of passersby.

Homelessness among veterans is a serious problem in America; the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates 107,000 veterans were without a permanent residence in 2010.

And that statistic certainly includes veterans in Syracuse, but a major effort by the VA to eliminate the problem means the majority of them are being cared for through specialized federal programs.

Odd, considering how common it is to pull off an arterial or get stopped at a light and be faced with someone claiming they’re a homeless, hungry veteran.

In fact, former Syracuse Chief of Police Gary Miguel reported in 2009 that most panhandlers in Syracuse aren’t even homeless.

Point being, this seems like a good time for a primer on how to deal with panhandlers when you’re approached: Don’t give cash. Chances are your money will not be used for its intended purpose, and pulling out your wallet can make you vulnerable to a crime.

Panhandling in certain areas of the city -- in medians, for example -- is both unlawful and presents a danger to motorists and those who would walk out into the street for a few coins or a dollar. If panhandling in these places proves less lucrative, people will move on.

There are many services in Syracuse for homeless and needy residents, and donating time, goods or money to any of them will make a real difference in the lives of our less fortunate community members, including: Rescue Mission, rmsyr.org; Salvation Army of Syracuse, sasyr.org; American Red Cross of Central New York, syrarc.org; Food Bank of CNY, foodbankcny.org; Vera House, verahouse.org.

But if the guilt of not giving to a panhandler outweighs what you’ve been told, and you have to do something right there, in that instant, just say something friendly and encouraging, and know that in most cases you’ve given them something more valuable than a quarter.

Raise my taxes … but for the right reasons So those of us living in the city of Syracuse will not have a tax increase this year.

Like many, I find myself conflicted on this issue.

I am one of the few who don’t believe property taxes in the city are too high. I’ve lived in the suburbs and covered budget discussions in the towns and suburban school districts.

The weight of city taxes is miniscule compared with the burden my suburban neighbors must shoulder. And in many cases, services in the city are just as good, if not better, than services in the towns.

But we’re not talking about trash removal and well-manicured parks here. We’re talking about the education of children, one of the most important and most challenging tasks we place on our public officials. So, many in the city are up in arms that the mayor used her veto to shoot down a plan to save the jobs of 35 educators, and the Common Council failed to override that veto.

Next year, my son will enter kindergarten

in the city schools. He is a special needs child and it will cost the district a lot of money to provide the aides and therapeutic services he requires. So I would gladly pay more in taxes to ensure that he and his sister are given a quality education. The $50 or so this new tax would cost me is small potatoes compared with what I am willing to pay to make this happen.

But I’m not opposed to Miner’s decision, because without an overhaul of the district, the $2.4 million this tax would raise won’t make much difference.

I don’t believe the city schools suffer because of a lack of good teachers. Those I’ve met, and those who taught me as a child growing up in Syracuse, were quality people who cared deeply for their students. But man-- particularly at the middle school level and above -- labor in poor working environments. They are challenged by students who could care less about the subject matter, who fail to see how it will impact their

lives moving forward. They work without the benefit of technologies that are critical to inspiring and educating students in a 21st century atmosphere. And they spend as much time on discipline as on education.

Some have left the district not because of pay or benefits or lack of camaraderie with other good teachers. They’ve left for the greener pastures of the suburbs to teach kids who want to learn.

When incoming Superintendent Sharon Contreras joins the fray in July, she will be greeted by a mayor who has indicated it is her priority to improve relations between City Hall and the district. That’s critical, because what this community requires is a strong partnership between the city and the district that focuses not only on the shortcomings of our schools but on the societal factors that lead to the failure of so many of our children.

Now that would be worth a tax increase.

What you’re saying

Your view Gardens deserve attention

To the editor: First - love The Eagle. Second - I read the gardening article from the Cazenovia Repulican, and wanted to send my response in hopes that you may send someone to roam around Syracuse for some great garden shots. So...

Humble suggestion to the Eagle, consider posting a photo(s) a week of various gardens within Syracuse, either residential or commercial, private homes or public green spaces/parks.

Might inspire people to tend their own garden a bit more; or start one of their own. Because let’s be honest, there aren’t too many people who don’t smile at the delight of flowers and greenery. Maybe throw in a little statuary, too.

I’m smiling right now.

From the first battles soldiers died and they left behind widows and mothers, sisters and friends. Even in those early war years in 1863 women’s groups in the South decorated the graves of fallen Confederate soldiers and later in the North families decorated the graves of fallen Union soldiers. After the end of the war by 1868 the U.S. Government first observed a day to decorate the graves of all fallen soldiers.

Today Decoration Day is recognized as Memorial Day and families place flowers on the graves of the American war dead of many conflicts who have died in service to this country. We should also remember with long lasting gratitude the sacrifice the American heroes who died on September 11, 2001.

The Syracuse Community Choir, founded by choral director Karen Mihalyi, is a group of children and adults who work to educate each other and the greater community about social and political issues – focusing on indigenous rights, civil rights, environmental rights, religious acceptance and inclusion of all people. Admission to the June 10 concert costs $10-25 on a sliding

a version of “Take a Whiff on Me,” an old folk song about cocaine.

As sociologists Jeff Ferrell and Clinton Sanders wrote in their book, “Cultural Criminology,” Many bluegrass songs “aggrandize home, spiritual life, family values and homespun tradition, while others bemoan their disintegration.”

In that context, Henhouse Prowlers faithfully follow the footsteps of their bluegrass predecessors.

“We’re not farmboys,” Weigel said, “so we really embrace the urban aspect of what we do.”

So thanks to “Syracuse” the song, Syracuse the city has become a murky footnote in the annals of modern bluegrass.

Best Bets: Stage

‘Psycho Beach Party’

Frankie and Annette meet Alfred Hitchcock this week when Rarely Done Productions opens “Psycho Beach Party” at the Orange Line Theater at Jazz Central, 441 E. Washington St. After an 8 p.m. preview on Thursday June 2, the show opens at 8 p.m. Friday June 3, and continues through June 18. Tickets cost $25 on opening night, $20 otherwise; the June 2 preview costs $10.

Written by Charles Busch and directed by Dan Tursi, “Psycho Beach Party” spoofs sandy beach B-films and Hitchcockian thrillers. The action swirls around Florence “Chicklet” Forrest, a teenage tomboy who desperately wants to be part of the Malibu Beach surf crowd in 1962. Her split personalities, however, conspire against her.

Among her multiple identities is a black checkout girl, an elderly radio talk-show hostess, a male model, and the accounting firm of Edelman and Edelman. Chicklet’s most dangerous alter ego is a vixen named Ann Bowman who has nothing less than world domination on her mind; rarelydone. org, 546-3224.

‘At First Sight’

A late-in-life love affair becomes a largerthan-life predicament for a 51-year-old widow in “At First Sight,” a stage comedy by Anne Pié opening at 7:30 p.m. Friday June 3, at the Presbyterian Education Center, 64 Oswego St. (Route 48), in Baldwinsville.

Produced by Steve Borek and directed by Jon Barden for the Baldwinsville Theatre Guild, “At First Sight” also runs at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 4; Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, at 3 p.m.

Sunday, June 12, and Friday and Saturday June 17 and 18. Admission to the performances cost $15, $12 for students, or $12 for seniors at the June 12 matinee only. Intermission dessert and hot beverage are included in ticket price; 877-4183.

Gotta go?

By Dr. Shane Sopp

Do you “gotta go” on the way to the bathroom?

Put the key in the door and fly over the furniture?

Do you leak urine with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising?

If you’re thinking “yes,” then join the other 40 million Americans with the same problem. But the real problem is that you don’t realize it can be corrected with a simple pill or a 10-minute procedure with no real down time. This should not be a negativeright-of–passage. And your insurance covers this.

The first problem is from an Over Active Bladder (OAB) or Urge Urinary Incontinence. Your bladder is a muscular balloon, and it’s supposed to stay relaxed and calm as it fills with urine from the kidneys. You begin to feel what are called the “three sensations”: I’m going to have to go in a while; I could go now; See Gotta go on next page

Patients come to take advantage of Dr. Walsdorf ’s cutting edge nutritional testing. Patients often receive powerful organic food concentrates, organ–based support, and glandular extracts to repair their weak links. In addition to hands–on and nutritional therapies, they use a variety of physiotherapies and prescribe exercises for both structural (pain and stiffness) issues and deeper health problems.

Seneca’s hometown approach comes first Katrina Russo, President – CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, is proud that the Bank’s hometown approach comes first. “As a community bank, we have first-hand knowledge of our local markets and its businesses,” said Russo.

She mentioned the advantage smaller, local banks have in pricing deposit and loan products, reaching out to customers and making exceptions. “We know our customers and understand their place in the local economy,” she continued.

This community bank is also set apart from the larger institutions in that they have always taken great pride in the tremendous in-house talent they have built at the Association. Because they develop a deep talent pool, they are able to promote from within, which furthers their understanding of their customer base.

“Our personnel live and work in the same areas as our customers,” said Russo. It is because of this veteran talent that they have been able to continue to perform strongly, even in the most difficult operating environments. “This

is a win-win environment that we work within. Our employees understand our customers’ concerns and our customers reap the benefit of the Association’s ability to quickly adjust to the local economy, which can change rapidly,” said the president.

The current operating environment in the banking arena is one of change and opportunity. The Association is in a stage where policymakers are looking to reform and reshape our financial system no matter what the size or charter of the institution. She continued, “While we must make sure that we are out there telling the positive story of community banks, we must also make sure we are looking for the opportunities that the changes to the economic landscape will bring. In this new landscape, I believe there will be tremendous opportunities for community banks.”

The president, who has now been in her current position for one year, reiterated the message of the past President. Simply put she stated, “Our message is simple,

and a proven one: community lenders extend credit responsibly and work to increase the wealth of its customers through the lowest possible lending products and the highest possible deposit product rates.”

She stressed that the community bank model works. She continues to tell their story of responsible lending and of the positive customer relationships they strive to build.

After all, they have a great story to tell and if they don’t tell it, who will?

It starts contracting early.

And you go from I’m going to have to go, to Get out of my way!

The treatment is simply

Now, your bladder doesn’t have anxiety! It should be called it Strain Urinary Incontinence, because it’s the act of staining or pushing

not the bladder at all. It’s the urethra – the tube that drains the bladder. Muscles normally support this tube like a hammock; and keep it closed tightly. But with time or from childbearing, these muscles stretch, and the urethra loses its support. So downward pressure caused by a cough or sneeze make it drop, and open … and you leak.

The treatment is the placement of a thin sling under the urethra recreating the hammock. This is accomplished by inserting the sling between the vagina and the urethra through a ½ inch incision inside the vagina.

The sling is the same material that’s used for hernia repairs so it lasts forever. It takes 10 minutes and is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. No catheter. No pain.

Immediate gain.

Flexible spending account allows participants to pay with pre-tax dollars

By Greg Cohen, senior vice president, EBSRMSCO Question: What do all of these things have in common: blood pressure monitoring devices, breast pumps, incontinence supplies, reading glasses and soccer day camps?

Answer: They are all qualified expenses under a flexible spending account.

A flexible spending account is an employee benefit plan that allows participants to pay for certain health and dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. It’s a benefit for the participant and the plan sponsor, which usually is your employer.

The pre-tax election reduces your taxable income, resulting in more money in your pocket each month.

When you save, your employer also saves, because reduced participant taxable income means lower Social Security taxes.

How does an FSA work?

Participants plan ahead and elect an annual amount for each calendar year. Separate elections are made for heath care and dependent care.

Pretax deductions are withheld from the participant’s paycheck. The plan administrator maintains an account balance for each participant.

When a participant purchases eligible items or receives eligible services, a claim is filed

and the plan administrator makes the payment from the participant’s account.

What is covered? Eligible health care expenses include copayments and deductibles, prescription drug and vision expenses, hearing aids, diabetic supplies, dental services, orthodontics and more. Eligible dependent care expenses include day care expenses for children up to age 13 and elderly dependents who live in your home, before- and after-school care and some day camps. Dependent care expenses are only qualified if they allow you (or you and your spouse) to work, look for work or attend school.

The flexible benefit card.

Your plan administrator may offer participants the convenience of paying for eligible expenses with a flexible benefit card that can be used at the point of service. (In some instances, participants may be asked to submit documentation to certify the eligible purchase.) Behind the scenes, your plan administrator pays the provider and debits the appropriate amount from your flexible spending account.

Health care reform and your flexible spending account. Health care reform legislation made one significant change to flexible spending accounts. Effective this year, over-the-counter drugs and medications (except insulin) such as aspirin, acetamino-

you will incur in a given year and only defer that amount from your pay to the flexible spending account. At the end of the year, any amount that you have not used is forfeited.

Approximately 1 percent of total flexible spending account deferrals are forfeited each year because of poor

planning.

Important things to remember. Flexible spending accounts are governed by Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations. Before making any flexible spending account elections, review the plan to ensure that you understand it. Direct any questions

you may have to your plan administrator, tax advisor and/ or attorney. The examples of qualified expenses mentioned in this article should not be construed as tax or legal advice. They are meant to illustrate what some common qualified expenses are under certain circumstances.

“A lot of the reason is to support local business. If it doesn’t grow here but it is produced here, it makes the cut.”

Switching sources: Go local with the staples

For all the well-intentioned emphasis put on buying locally and supporting independent business, the concept can be overwhelming to the point of discouraging.

But Martin Butts, owner of Small Potatoes Sales & Marketing, says there’s an easy starting point: walk into your pantry, (or open your cupboards), and pick one item to switch.

Select just one item to routinely purchase from a local source, something you can find from a local producer, or that you can purchase from an independent seller. Then, when you get used to it, pick another.

The key to “switching your sourcing,” Butts says, is finding a way to do it in a manageable, sustainable way.

Overhauling the way you eat entirely, all at once, is too much to expect from the average consumer.

“I hear from people all the time, that ‘that’s just unreasonable’,” says Butts. “And I would never ask people to do that.”

Narrowing down your reasons for localizing will help determine the boundaries of what you consider local, Butts says.

“For the people that are doing it, there’s always a reason,” he says. “For some people it’s supporting local businesses, for some its eating seasonally, or making healthier choices.”

Your reasons will impact whether your definition of local -- which is different for everyone, Butts says.

For some, it means only purchasing foods produced within a certain distance from their home. For others, “local” products might still use imported ingredients, but be prepared in small batches by a local manufacturer.

There’s no right or wrong, but knowing your definition and your goal in emphasizing local will help make better, more sustainable changes, Butts says.

Butts says he wouldn’t expect someone to undergo a complete lifestyle change for the sake of local -- but take a 30-day challenge? Why not?

The 2nd Annual New York State Locavore Challenge kicks off Sept. 1, which means you have three months to start getting in the habit of local eating. Organized by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, the challenge aims to engage 5,000 people in the month-long campaign to raise awareness about local, organic and sustainable eating.

Participants agree to cook only with in-sea-

son, local organic foods throughout the for a day, week or month during September.

Whether you’re “training” for the Locavore Challenge or just want to shift your habits more locally, here are some easy-to-find staples produced by local farms and companies to get you started: Here are some easy-to-find staples produced by local farms and companies to get you started:

Flour

Butts noted there’s been an emphasis on growing local grains, and Flour City Pasta’s whole grain varieties are made locally, using locally grown grains.

“A lot of people think these foods can’t be made locally,” said Amanda Gormley, marketing and member service coordinator at Syracuse Real Food Co-op.

She pointed out Farmer Grown Flour, flour grown, ground and processed in Trumansburg.

“Flour from start to finish made in New York!” she said.

Eggs and dairy

It’s almost a challenge to find a dairy product not available from a local source. Wake Robin Farm in Jordan produces yogurt and cheeses that originate in the hay fields from which the Jersey cows munch, and a variety of cheeses are available year-round at many grocers. Farm-fresh eggs (if you aren’t raising hens at home), are available at farmer’s markets.

Peanut butter and jellies

Did you know you could skip the Jif (and the Skippy), and opt for a local version of this cupboard staple? Pick up homemade jams and jellies at a farmer’s market for the ultimate homegrown PB&J -- or bring the berries home and preserve them yourself.

Produce

“First place I tell people to go is of course the Regional Market,” Butts says.

A new signage program at the Regional Market will soon make it easier for shoppers to see right away which vendors are local, he added.

Jeremy DeChario, head cashier at Syracuse Real Food Co-op said local tomatoes get custom-

ers excited, especially in the dead of winter.

They’re hydroponically grown in Fulton, and available year-round, DeChario said.

But in the spring, it’s the fiddleheads and ramps that locavores lust after in the produce section.

Black Beans

Gormely said federal subsidies drive most local farmers to produce corn and soy.

But Tony Potenza Organics in Trumansburg is harvesting black turtle beans, and they’re available at the Co-op.

“It’s exciting for us when we see farmers trying something different,” Gormely said.

Meats

Beef, chicken, pork, and more, raised in pastures so close you could drive by them on your lunch hour.

If you’re a compassionate carnivore who wants to know more about where your food is coming from, and how it’s raised and treated in the meantime, the close relationships between the farmers who raise the livestock and the grocers who supply it is a perk of buying local.

Standing in front of the meat case at the Coop, Gormley excitedly described each farm that supplies local meat, including the newest addition, Ingallside Meadows Farm in Cazenovia.

Coffee

What happens when climate and other factors eliminate the option of purchasing an item from a local source?

The next best thing, Butts says, is to buy the item from an independent local business. And when it comes to coffee, the list of local roasters means there’s no excuse to buy your beans from anyone but a local producer.

“A lot of the reason is to support local business, so if it doesn’t grow here but it is produced here.

It makes the cut,” Butts said.
