SYRACUSE STAGE

August Wilson’s “Radio Golf,� the final play in his 20th Century cycle of ten dramas depicting African American life, opened at Syracuse Stage last week. Directed by Tim Bond, who is Syracuse Stage’s Producing Artistic Director, “Radio Golf � is the sixth Wilson play that Syracuse Stage has produced, leaving four remaining to reach Bond’s promise to see the entire cycle performed here. “Radio Golf � is set in 1997, when Harmond Wilks, a Pittsburgh real estate developer also trying to become the city’s first Black mayor, must grapple with whether to demolish property that’s historically and spiritually significant to his community for the promise of material progress. The Syracuse Stage production intentionally highlights parallels between the destruction of the Hill District in Pittsburgh and Syracuse’s old 15th Ward with two lobby exhibitions.

Eastwood groups wants to pull parking pay stations

Parking regulations are hurting business, leaving commercial corridor empty, opponents say By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com Scott Makarchuk said he walked around the corner of his bookshop in Eastwood one windy day and looked down James Street to see parking tickets flapping on the windshield of every car on the street. A few months later, there weren’t any cars to be ticketed, Makarchuk said. He coowns and manages Books and Memories at 2600 James St. The sudden enforcement of parking regulations in the neighborhood didn’t spark people into paying for metered parking on the five-block stretch of James Street, he said. It drove people away. The neighborhood looks abandoned. People found free parking off the main drag or have stopped patronizing the Eastwood business corridor all together, Makarchuk said. Either way, it’s bad for business. That’s why he’s leading the fight to pull the parking machines from the street. Pull the pay stations “For the city, it must have been good money initially, they must have been rolling in the cash,” Makarchuk said. “The reality was, this neighborhood slowly responded by not parking on the street anymore.” When the street looks empty, he said, people won’t stop to shop. They think they’re doing something wrong by parking on the street, or that the businesses aren’t worth stopping for, Makarchuk said. His own sales have dropped nearly 40 percent “every day since they emptied the street,” he said. He contacted the mayor’s office. Not only was his business hurting, Makarchuk argued that the empty street would invite crime. The city, he said, suggested he organize a community effort to possibly negotiate lowering the parking rates. “But it not about the rate,” he said. People aren’t parking and patronizing in Eastwood because of the hassle, not the price

of parking, Makarchuk said, and the only solution he sees is to remove the machines all together. In response, Makarchuk has organized two petitions -- one strictly for Eastwood merchants, the other for the community as a whole -- to take to the mayor’s office to fight the parking enforcement. The effort has gained steady support the neighborhood and the online community petition had garnered nearly 200 signatures at press time. Suddenly, tickets The 2010-11 city budget suggests the city intended to crack down on parking violators. The previous year, the city estimated it would take in $1,720,000 from those who paid for parking at metered spaces, plus $2,400,000 from parking tickets. Those estimated revenue numbers jumped up in the 2010-11 budget. The estimated revenue from parking meters is budgeted at $1,806,000, a relatively small increase of $86,00. But the city expects to make an additional $350,000 this year, for a total of $2,750,000 in parking ticket fees. Syracuse Police Sgt. Gary Bulinksi said the increase in enforcement is not a new initiative, in Eastwood or any other neighborhood. “There are no special initiatives going on,” Bulinski said. “If there is an increase [in ticketing], it’s probably the result of increased complaints.” Bulinski said an increase in parking tickets could actually be the result of residents and business owners complaining to the police about parking violators. The police department devotes nine uniformed parking checkers to enforce parking regulations throughout the city. Back on the radar Stephen Skinner, who owns Sacred Melody plaza in Eastwood and heads the Eastwood Chamber of Commerce, said

“

If there is an increase [in ticketing], it’s probably the result of increased complaints.” - Syracuse Police Sgt. Gary Bulinski

Scott Makarchuk, coowner of Books and Memories Bookstore on James Street in Eastwood, stands at the parking pay station across the street from his shop. Makarchuk claims a recent increase in parking enforcement has emptied James Street, driven visitors and customers away and could put him out of business. AMI OLSON

Eastwood seemed to be off the radar of parking enforcement in the past. “But over the past year it has been quite stifling, to the point where if you are just a couple minutes late the lovely ticket is in your door,” Skinner said. He said the chamber understands the city’s need to find revenues wherever it can. “However, the economy is tight because people are tight,” he said. “And if people are tight then they are going to go to wherever they feel they get the most bang for their buck. So consequently, many people I have spoken with would rather drive a mile or two and get everything they want with free parking than shop locally, pay for parking and risk a ticket.” He pointed out that many suburban villages with a similar business corridor to Eastwood offer free two-hour parking. But

since Eastwood is within city limits, parking regulations are set by the city. Turnover and consistency Andrew Maxwell, the city director of planning and sustainability, works out of the mayor’s office. While “questions about parking come up quite frequently,” Maxwell said, he wasn’t aware of any previous attempts to remove paid parking completely in a Syracuse neighborhood. Maxwell said any changes in parking rates would have to be made through the Common Council, but eliminating paid parking in the neighborhood was not likely. “I don’t believe we’re going to take steps to remove the parking machines,” Maxwell said. “I don’t believe it would be a good idea See Parking, page 28

Sen. John A. DeFrancisco, 50th District: “In Governor Cuomo’s bill the redistricting commission will submit its first plan to the legislature. If the legislature votes ‘no’ it must take into account the objections of the legislature, and submit plan number two,

Assemblyman William Barclay, 124th District:

“I support bringing real reform to New York’s dysfunctional redistricting process and share the Governor’s goal of creating a non-partisan, independent legislative redistricting commission to help take politics out of reapportionment. The Governor’s bill is a good starting point, however, I believe changes can be made to the bill to further ensure that the commission will be truly independent. To this end, I look forward to working with the Governor and my legislative colleagues to enact independent redistricting legislation this year.�

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last month his proposal for redrawing the Legislative districts, a task that follows the U.S. census every decade. The process typically draws criticism from one party or another, or both, and was a topic addressed in most electoral debates and conversations last fall. It’s meant to realign legislative boundaries according to changes in demographics and populations, but has in the past been used as a power grab. Cuomo’s Redistricting Reform Act of 2011would create an “independent commission� in charge of determining which boundaries should be shifted and how far. The commission would be a group of 11, appointed by either the majority or minority leaders of the Senate and Assembly or selected by other commission members from a pool of 40 nominees. Cuomo’s proposal must be approved by both the Senate and Assembly to be put into action. Here’s what local state officials had to say about Cuomo’s initial proposal:

which the legislature can also reject. The commission then must submit plan three, which the legislature can amend and approve as amended. In effect, the legislature can pass its own plan. As far as the non-partisanship of the commission, half of those eligible to be on the commission are appointed by one person – the Governor. Does anyone think that whomever the Governor is, the Governor will not nominate people that will likely follow his political agenda? In addition, the Cuomo redistricting plan makes anyone who served in the legislature, or for the Executive or was a lobbyist in the last four years ineligible to serve on the commission. This may give the appearance of the membership being non-partisan. However, does anyone believe for a moment that political people are going to be excluded by this four-year rule? No matter how the redistricting commission is formed (whether under the Cuomo plan or earlier plans endorsed last year by Mayor Koch) it is impossible to take politics out of politics. The best assurance that redistricting will be fair is that the plan as required by the New York State Constitution must be agreed to by both houses of the legislature – and fortunately now the Senate is controlled by Upstate and Long Island Republicans and the Assembly is controlled by New York City Democrats – a cross-section of the residents of the state of New York.�

Buerkle said. “It’s an American problem. I think Republicans are just as much to blame as Democrats.â€? Buerkle agreed with residents who questioned billion-dollar corporate giveaways. “Because of the severity of the economic situation, everything’s on the table,â€? she said. “There’ll be further cuts in corporate subsidies.â€? Foreign aid programs may also be reduced, she said in response to Bob Stewart of Liverpool. He called America’s $47 billion foreign-aid program “a slap in the face of U.S. taxpayers.â€? Buerkle admitted to her large audience that “I know I didn’t win by a vast majority. I know I have a lot of work to do to prove myself to you.â€? She pledged to stage more town hall meetings across the 25th District. “The most important thing is that I listen to you because I work for you, my staff works for you‌and whether we agree of disagree, this is an important part of the democratic process.â€?

questions clearly disagreed with Buerkle’s conservative viewpoints while several others applauded her faith in the free-market system. Syracuse Peace Council member Ann Tiffany pointed out than more than 50 percent of the U.S. budget funds military activity rather than health or education. She asked Buerkle how long the federal government will continue its occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. “Iraq has a fledgling democracy, and the president has an exit plan there,â€? Buerkle replied. “But Afghanistan is a different type of discussion. It’s very complicated.â€? A former nurse and hospital administrator, Buerkle answered several questions about health care. “I think this country needs health-care reform to lower costs,â€? she said. “But government is not the answer. It only increases costs.â€? Buerkle placated some of her detractors by reminding them that she cares about disadvantaged Americans. “We, as a society, have to be there for people who can’t help themselves,â€? she said, specifically mentioning those suffering addictions or mental illnesses. “But Obamacare is unsustainable. We can’t afford it. We need to increase access to health care and we need to lower costs. Every American should be able to afford health care... My main concern is that you be able to retain decision-making about your own health care and not give it to some bureaucracy.â€? Several women complained about Buerkle’s vote against funding Planned Parenthood. “Why in the world would you defund Planned Parenthood?â€? asked Bobbi Cowan of Syracuse. “Thousands of women depend on Planned Parenthood for pap smears, mammograms and counseling.â€? Buerkle held fast to her anti-abortion position. She said Planned Parenthood is “the largest abortion provider in this country‌[it] will survive without government funding.â€? To pull us out of the recession, Heidi Cross of Skaneateles suggested the U.S. raise taxes for wealthy Americans, but Buerkle disagreed. “Why punish people for their success?â€? the congresswoman asked rhetorically. “This country does not have a taxing problem. It has a spending problem. At the end of the day the government won’t be the one to create jobs

The parking problem Parking is a big topic in this issue of The Eagle, from the cover story to the “What you’re saying” section on the opposite page. And since we didn’t exactly plan it that way, we can only assume this indicates parking is an important topic to a lot of people. The battle ensuing in Eastwood raises a lot of questions about fairness. What is fair to business owners, their customers, neighborhood residents and the city may all be separate things, so the question becomes, “whose concerns are greater?” Is it the city’s responsibility to nurture neighborhood business corridors at the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of dollars in parking-related revenues? Which is the bigger investment, in the end: thriving local businesses or the pay-topark machines? We offer a potential solution: pre-paid parking passes. A system that would allow drivers who frequently visit pay-to-park neighborhoods to pay a monthly fee directly to the city in exchange for a subscription parking pass, kept in the wallet or purse and placed on the dash where the parking machine receipt would otherwise go. Think, the “E-Z Pass” of paid parking meters. Parking checkers could still prevent parking-pass holders from over extending their parking times the good old fashioned way: a dot of yellow paint on the tire. The city still makes it’s money, and those visitors who make a habit of frequenting our neighborhood businesses are rewarded -- not punished -- for doing so. The New York State DMV already offers metered parking waivers for “persons with severe disabilities” (as well they should). Why shouldn’t the city offer the same allowance, at the very least, to seniors?

West Side group sets its sights on Skiddy In the daylight, Skiddy Park is a little green gem of outdoor space on the Near Westside. The park boasts a baseball diamond, basketball courts, a tennis court, a handball court and a playground. It’s the park that the b.i.k.e. Syracuse program calls home and the immediate neighborhood it serves includes Blodgett K-8, St. Lucy’s Academy, the Spanish Action League, Shonnard Street Boys and Girls Club, and PEACE Inc.’s Westside Family Resource Center. It fills the city block bordered by Otisco and Tully Streets to the north and south, and Oswego and Tioga Streets to the west and east. But the park is also the landscape for vandalism, seedy dealings and shoot-outs. Skiddy Park, the heart of the West Side, is only half beating. A new fundraising effort by the Near Westside Initiative is hoping to pump new life into the park. The NWSI is seeking donations for three ini-

The soccer program used to draw more than 50 young athletes to the park for games and clinics, but when funding dried up the program disappeared. Same goes for the concession stand -- what’s now a cinder-block storage shed used to offer lemonade and popcorn during little league baseball games. The NWSI doesn’t intend to build a concession stand, just to reopen the existing facility and bring back what used to exist. The playground equipment -- used, abused and now much of it in disrepair -- needs to be replaced and updated.

But, what about George? This is based on the true story of how the justice system failed an ambitious, bright Syracuse man. There once was a young man, I’ll call him George. George is tall and dark and, with a hoodie, could easily fit into an urban stereotype but once he smiled or held a door for a little old lady that reaction quickly dissipated. Unable to find work he found a variety of jobs, most part-time, but would always be available to shovel snow or mow the lawn for a nearby neighborhood woman’s property. It wouldn’t matter what the weather was like, if she or any of her friends needed anything done he’d gladly do it. She got him involved in politics. Going door-to-door for a host of city candidates he learned about many parts of Syracuse he’d never seen since his family had no car. “Wow, this is a big house,” he’d proclaim as he dumped another load of pamphlets in a ritzy Syracuse neighborhood. Things were going well for George. He was meeting the right people. Not one to gab, he’d gently nod when introduced to some of the most recognizable political figures in Syracuse Democratic circles.

Ken Jackson

He was so good that a political party hired him to do some canvassing work in the middle of the most recent hotly contested mayor’s race. “Maybe this will lead to a full-time job somewhere,” he thought. Towards the end of the campaign George decided to go to visit a relative in a local housing project. On a bike and wearing a dark hoodie he could have been any kid racing home to play a video game or mix some beats on his computer. With a freshly-printed paycheck in his back pocket (from the job he’d just left for the day), he started his bike ride. It wasn’t long before he was stopped by the Syracuse Police and arrested for being party to a crime. Those who knew him tried to help, but not even documentation that there was no way he could have been anywhere near the crime scene would convince the authorities that this young man had nothing to do with what he was being held for. The woman, who had by now become a surrogate mom to George, tried to get him released. Those in our criminal justice system told her, and the defendant, “just wait and he’ll

It’s scary, sure, the idea of sending neighborhood kids into a park where police retreived 28 bullet casings after one of several violent incidents last year -- bag of popcorn won’t stop a bullet. But the NWSI has the right idea here. Start small, for one thing, and reinvigorate what the neighborhood already loved about the park. Give people a reason to use the park for something other than criminal activity, and they will. To find out more about donating to the NWSI’s Skiddy Park fundraising efforts, visit saltdistrict.com.

eventually be released.” Hmmmm? Just wait? Well, wait he did, and wait and wait... days, weeks and months passed by and still no charges and still no release. Eventually, what those working within the justice system said came true. He was released, the police had found the true culprits of the crime for which he had been detained. But not before spending more than six months languishing in our local lockup, ironically called the Justice Center. By the way, the candidate he was canvassing for won the race. And now the same person has done what other mayors and police chiefs have only dreamed of achieving: destroying what was left of the dysfunctional Citizen Review Board. The CRB was created to ensure that people like George, who are failed and mishandled by the system, have an advocate. Removing Ms. Felicia Davis from the CRB director’s position and locking the entire board out of the office did nothing but bring light to what was already a dysfunctional board with an even more dysfunctional firing.

Viewpoints What you’re saying We asked readers: What impact does paying to park have on your decision to eat, shop and visit downtown Syracuse?

“

No impact. Every city needs to collect revenue from a variety of sources, and parking is a widely accepted method. The unique shops and restaurants downtown are easily worth the couple dollars spent on parking. If people don’t like parking, then don’t drive. Take the bus or ride your bike.” - Damian J. Vallelonga, Syracuse

“

Parking in general discourages me from going downtown. Price is one factor, and convenience is another. I love eating at the Dinosaur, sure, but there are many, many restaurants closer to home where I can part 50 feet from the door for free, so they often get preference unless it’s a special occasion. - Mike De Lucia, Clay

“

No impact. I typically do my downtown shopping and dining after work hours or on weekends when onstreet parking (free meters at that time) is available. I think there is a general misconception that parking downtown is difficult or scarce.” - Christa Glazier, Liverpool

Perspective

“

While I do venture downtown for various reasons, if there is an alternative that offers free parking, I will take it. Yesterday, I had to add $2.30 to my lunch bill in order to eat at a downtown restaurant.” – Ann Ferro, Marcellus

“

I think it’s an annoyance, as I would guess most people do. But I have also lived in areas offering free parking and often employees of the local businesses (and yes, even business owners!) lock up the parking all day. This left very few spots for shoppers, visitors and tourists, especially during lunch time. My concern is not paying for a spot, but finding one!” - Colleen Farley, associate publisher for advertising, Eagle Newspapers

“

I hate having to dig for change to park just for a few minutes! And most of the streets are in bad shape. So you get down there, drive around looking for a spot, have to pay a lot to park just to browse? No thanks!” - Adelle Starr

“

Sometimes paying to park is an issue. We can’t just decide to stop and shop in the city on a whim because we need to plan ahead and make sure I have enough change. What’s more of a hassle than paying to park is WHERE to park in the first place! One day we planned a trip to visit Armory Square and got down there only to have to turn

9

around and go home because there was NO PLACE to park. The only thing we could think to do was have one of us shop while the other one drove around and then swap. We decided that would be a waste of gas and no fun so we went home.” - Caren Giufre

“

It is too expensive for a city its size. Machines only take change, and the tickets are written instantly once you go over. Made me avoid it as much as I could.” - Jennifer Aicher

Lost weekend: Crunch sink into cellar after dropping three straight By Russ Tarby A third period meltdown Friday, ill-advised penalties Saturday and an unfulfilling overtime loss Sunday left the Syracuse Crunch with one measly point for three hard days of work last weekend. The three losses sunk the Crunch deeper into the American Hockey League’s Eastern Division cellar, one point behind the Albany Devils. After 59 games in the 2010-11 season, the Crunch have won 20 and lost 32 games including three overtime losses and four shoot-out losses, for a total of 47 points. Things started on a hopeful note on Friday, Feb. 25, when the Crunch entered the third period ahead 4-2 in its home game against the Binghamton Senators. But Binghamton burst the Crunch bubble with five unanswered goals to snatch victory from defeat by a score of 7-4. Back at the at the War Memorial on Saturday, the Crunch hung tough with the firstplace Hamilton Bulldogs until two unnecessary penalties late in the game deprived the home team of a chance to tie the 3-2 score. On Sunday, Feb. 27, at Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena, Syracuse finished regulation tied with the Amerks, 1-1, only to lose in overtime when Rochester defenseman Keaton Ellerby wristed a shot past Crunch goalie J.P.Levasseur one minute into the extra session. A few high points of the otherwise de-

pressing weekend included the fiery play of rookie left winger Nicolas Deschamps. The 21-year-old forward from Montreal recorded his second two-goal game of the season on Friday against Binghamton. Deschamps – who has played in every one of the Crunch’s 59 games this season – has 12 goals and 21 assists to lead the team with 33 points. Matt Kennedy and David Laliberte added Syracuse’s other two goals Friday night, while Levasseur took the loss, allowing seven goals on 42 shots. Crunch high scorer Patrick Maroon (18 goals) and rookie scoring phenom Kyle Palmieri each scored Saturday, while netminder Timo Pielmeier stopped 32 of 35 shots. On Sunday afternoon in the Flower City, Crunch center Josh Green scored the team’s lone tally, and Levasseur recovered from Friday’s seven-goal stinker with a strong 27save performance despite taking the loss. While it’s difficult to see a silver lining in last weekend’s dark cloud, it could be that – after Friday’s embarrassing third period – the Crunch never gave up. They put just 23 shots on goal Friday, but increased their shots to 36 against Hamilton on Saturday. “We had a good attitude [Saturday],” said defenseman John de Gray. “We knew we were playing a good team, and we were up for it. We just failed to execute in the third period.” When Crunch winger David Laliberte was called for hooking with three minutes left to play, shortly followed by defenseman

Rookie left winger Nicolas Deschamps leads the Syracuse Crunch in scoring with 12 goals and 21 assists for a total of 33 points. Nate Guerin called for slashing, the Crunch’s slim chance to pull the goalie and make a last-minute attack to tie the game disappeared into the penalty box. In Rochester on Sunday, the Crunch followed Coach Mark Holick’s advice to take it to the net by firing 41 shots at Amerks goalie Tyler Plante, but he turned away all but one.

After a road trip to the Lone Star State, the Crunch face off at the War Memorial against the Texas Stars and the Rochester Amerks, at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, March 11 and 12, respectively. Ticket prices range between $13 and $22; 473-4444; syracusecrunch.com.

Corcoran hockey beaten in sectional semis By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Things were different for the Corcoran ice hockey team the second time it traveled to Shove Park this season to meet West Genesee in last Wednesday’s Section III Division I semifinals, in that the Cougars played the Wildcats tougher from start to finish. Yet the result was the same – a defeat, and Corcoran unable to get on the board in 45 minutes of ice time during a 3-0 loss to the defending state Division I champion

Wildcats. In the first meeting Jan. 24 in Camillus, WG won 8-0, part of the Cougars’ late-season struggles. But Corcoran had switched goaltenders, Marcus Fortin replacing Gavin Gretzky, and Fortin had sparkled in a 3-1 opening-round playoff win over Cortland-Homer on Feb. 18. All through the first period, Corcoran played sound defense and made a fair amount of attacks, even taking more shots than WG as it showed every ability to, at the very least, push the Wildcats hard. And as the period wound down, it remained 0-0, the deadlock likely to hold under the

intermission. Then, 23.9 seconds before the horn sounded, Nick Holzhauer took a pass from Matt Schattner on the left side and sent that modest shot past Fortin. As it turned out, the goal did more than push WG in front 1-0 in a period where, for long stretches, it had been outplayed. That late tally boosted the Wildcats and deflated the Cougars in equal amounts. And it carried over as, just 19 seconds into the second period, heavy pressure from WG’s attack led to Josh Duquette scoring on a rebound, Holzhauer and Robby Michel getting the assists.

Less than five minutes later, Duquette connected again on a breakaway as Holzhauer again earned an assist. Fortin would bear down the rest of the night and allow nothing more - but the damage of that sixminute burst proved enough to last the rest of the game. Michel, Tinklepaugh, Schattner and Cody Ryan made sure that WG’s defense did not allow many Corcoran chances, and Jake Pelton stopped all 14 shots he faced. Corcoran’s season ended with a record of 12-8-2.

City hoops trio reaches sectional semifinals OHSL Patriot division, and had a fair amount of struggles before putting away the Warriors 67-55. Weedsport slowed the game down at every turn, not wanting to let SAS get into the racehorse tempo (it had averaged better than 82 points a game in the regular season) that, among other things, produced an 81-45 rout of the Warriors earlier in the month. For a long while, it proved tense, the Atoms only leading 35-30 at halftime and gradually building that margin out in the last two periods. Dakeem McLain had 19 points, including three 3-pointers, while Kaleel Johnson managed 18 points. Ahmet Tunali had 13 points and six blocks.

The game broke along similar lines to Henninger’s 79-53 romp of the Wildcats on Feb. 10. After taking a modest 14-10 lead in the first quarter, the Black Knights got away by outscoring WG 40-27 over the next two periods, a gradual push that led to total control. Tommie Spinner, fresh off a 30-point effort in Henninger’s Feb. 17 win over Bishop Kearney, stayed hot despite the eight-day gap between games, pouring in 25 points this time around.

Five Syracuse city boys basketball teams started out in the Section III playoffs – and three of them made it through the first week to reach the semifinal round. Henninger and Syracuse Academy of Science are used to this - but this is new for Institute of Technology Central, the no. 3 seed in Class C-1, who in its playoff debut fought off no. 6 seed Little Falls 68-63 last Saturday afternoon. After a one-day weather postponement, the Eagles took the floor against the Indians boasting one of Central New York’s hottest players, Jahcin Ingram, whose late-season work included a 40-point performance in a loss to SAS. Led by Ingram, ITC endured a back-andforth first half where it went ahead, 15-9, only to have Waterville close the gap in the second period and only trail by two, 26-24, at the break. In a wild third quarter, the Eagles outscored

the Indians 27-21 to reclaim its margin, and it held on down the stretch as Ingram, again, had a big effort. He finished with 28 points, including 10 field goals and eight free throws. Just as importantly, Ingram’s teammates did enough to help out, as three of them – Saquan Dozier, Mikell Clemons and Joe Boatwright – finished with 11 points apiece. ITC improved to 15-4 on the season, and it sets up Wednesday’s C-1 semifinal against Tully, the no. 2 seed and defending Class C champions, at Onondaga Community College.

Corcoran girls ousted by F-M in sectionals By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com

Maybe the Corcoran girls basketball team had too easy a time when it beat Fayetteville-Manlius in the regular-season finale on Feb. 18. That memory hung over last Thursday night’s Section III Class AA quarterfinal, when the no. 2 seed Cougars were on the wrong end of the No. 7 seed Hornets’ payback in a 56-50 defeat. Just six days had passed since Corcoran pushed F-M around in that 67-44 decision – which, as it turned out, pushed the Hornets down into the Cougars’ playoff

bracket, setting up the rematch after F-M beat no. 10 seed West Genesee 51-39 in the first round. The highly-motivated Hornets took aim at Corcoran and, from the opening tip, put together one of its most complete efforts of the season. On the offensive side, it had near-perfect balance between the inside play of junior Kiley Shoemaker and the perimeter work of senior Ali Pliszka. Combine that with a defense that locked in and kept Corcoran from establishing its own rhythm, and it produced a 28-20 deficit for the Cougars going into halftime. F-M’s margin kept growing in the third quarter, to 43-32, but Corcoran was not done. Led by Coriesha Hickey, who pro-

duced with a game-high 22 points, the Cougars stormed back and, with two minutes left, had pulled within three, 50-47. Somehow, the Hornets kept cool, and after Bri Dolan hit two free throws to make it 52-47, Corcoran never got so close again and its season came to an abrupt end. Aside from Hickey, Taleah Voeltz put up 14 points for the Cougars and Shahadah Williams added 10 points. Shoemaker led F-M with 20 points as Pliszka added 18 points. Nottingham, given the no. 9 seed in Class AA, did make it through last Tuesday’s opening round, going to no. 8 seed Rome Free Academy and beating the Black Knights 53-43. This game turned in the second quarter, when the Bulldogs, down 12-9, exploded for 20 points in those eight minutes to take a 29-24 lead to the break. From there, RFA

was held to eight points in the third period and watched as Nottingham pulled away. China Agnew, with 15 points, led three Bulldogs that scored in double figures. Ja’Leasa Worley finished with 12 points and Chyanna Canada added 11 points. Nottigham’s run would end there, though, in the AA quarterfinals with a 5826 defeat to top seed and two-time defending champion Cicero-North Syracuse. Led by Breanna Stewart, a junior forward who has verbally committed to attend Connecticut in the fall of 2012, the Northstars held the Bulldogs without a field goal in the first quarter, took a 21-1 lead and never got caught, despite Nottingham’s later defensive improvement. Janaysia Torrence led her side with seven points, but Stewart managed to outscore Nottingham by herself as she finished with 30 points.

‘Mommy Deadliest’ recounts Castor case

Disturbing details

While Benson makes a few mistakes – for instance, he identifies Great Northern Mall as “Great North Mall” and refers to the “town of Liverpool” – the 403-page book recounts the Castor case in great detail. Despite Benson’s obsessive repetitiveness, it’s a riveting, yet disturbing story that leaves two husbands dead of anti-freeze poisoning and a daughter dosed will pills and booze and blamed for the men’s murders. Benson’s trial coverage gives the prosecution and defense equal time, though the evidence against the 38-year-old mother of two eventually proved overwhelming. The jury could not overlook Stacey’s $71,000 insur-

SWEATING IT OUT

Sweating is a by product of rigorous exercise that elicits different reactions. Some view sweating as an unsavory part of exercise while others perceive sweating as body-cleansing and weightloss mechanisms. There are also those who think that sweating is a sign of being out of shape. To set matters straight, researchers recently measured the rate at which both men and women perspired while bicycling under controlled conditions. They found that physically fit individuals start to sweat at lower core body temperatures. And because sweating is a mechanism that the body uses to cool off, sweating enables people to perform longer. Sweat output was found to be significantly higher for fit people during intense exercise than for their less-fit counterparts.

ance settlement after David Castor’s death in 2005. Local notables such as Judge Joe Fahey, DA Bill Fitzpatrick, ADA Christine Garvey, defense attorney Chuck Keller, Sgt. Mike Norton, Det. Dominic Spinelli and Det. Diane Leshinski get plenty of ink in Benson’s book, as do Castor’s daughters, Ashley and Bree. For some reason, though, the author only identifies Castor’s boyfriend, Michael Ochsner, by a pseudonym: “Michael Overstreet.”

Not-so-shocking photos

Published in December by Pinnacle Books of New York City’s Kensington Publishing Co., “Mommy Deadliest” costs $6.99. It presents “16 pages of shocking photos,” one of which is a close-up of the street sign at the corner of Glenwood Drive North and Wetzel Road, the site of the Castor house. I wonder if Stacey Castor peruses a copy of Benson’s book in her cell at Bedford Hills…? Benson has written more than 40 books, including “Who’s Who in the JFK Assassination.” His 2006 book, “Betrayal in Blood: The Murder of Tabatha Bryant,” is set in Rochester where a young wife was killed by her half-brother at

Exercise rate and sweating do not correlate accurately, especially if you are getting back into exercise after a long period of inactivity. If you are starting aerobic exercise again after time away, then you can sweat even if you aren’t working particularly hard because it takes time for your sweating mechanisms to adapt to workout. To schedule an appointment for physical therapy, please call 315-476-3176. The State of New York requires that each patient must see a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist or podiatrist and receive a prescription for physical therapy. We are located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse. P.S. In the study mentioned above, researchers found that, in general, men sweat more than women probably due to their higher testosterone levels, which have been linked to sweat rate.

After her 2009 trial was featured on ABC-TV’s newsmagazine “20/20,” Stacey Castor became CNY’s most famous convicted murderer. The Liverpool woman’s notoriety continues to grow by leaps and bounds. The Black Widow weaves her webs again in a new book by veteran true-crime author Michael Benson. The paperback is titled “Mommy Deadliest.” Can the made-for-TV movie be far behind?

Big Apple-bound

“Odysseus DOA,” a new play by Stephen Svoboda, made its world premiere Jan. 21 downtown, at the Red House. This month the drama makes its Big Apple debut. Svoboda’s ambitious script deftly blends his lead character’s obsession with Greek tragedy with snappy streetwise dialogue delivered by AIDS patients, medical staffers and a couple of mothers – one solicitous and one bitter. The Red House cast and crew bring “Odysseus” to the Lion Theatre, at 410 W. 42nd St., in Manhattan, at 8 p.m. March 16-19 with matinees at 2 p.m. March 19 and 20. Tickets cost $18; (212) 714-2442; telecharge. com. The play – which features John Bixler in the lead role – is a co-production of Red House and the Adirondack Center for the Arts at Blue Mountain Lake, where playwright Svoboda is the director.

Maheu returns Upstate

Clarinetist Jack Maheu – co-founder of the Salt City Six which put Syracuse on the world’s music map in the 1950s and ’60s – has relocated from New Orleans to Ithaca. “I’m alive and doing well,” Maheu reports. He suffered two minor strokes in a few years ago. “I’m working on a full recovery to get back in the game.” Now 80, Maheu stormed into the national spotlight in the mid-1950s with the Salt City Five and Six before being recruited by the Dukes of Dixieland in 1957. He returned to the Salt City Six in 1961. The remarkable reedman moved to New Orleans in 1990 and became one of the city’s most sought-after musicians. His band won the French Quarter Festival Battle of the Bands three years in a row. Maheu left the Crescent City a couple months ago to be closer to his sons John and Mike in Ithaca. “I want everybody to know that I plan on being back performing in music again as soon as I can,” Maheu said. “A mild stroke is not enough to finish me!” He can be contacted at

johnmaheu@gmail.com. For a nostalgic look at the Salt City Five and Six, visit saltcity56.com. “I love that website,” Maheu said. “It brings back some good memories.”

Tough ticket

Hard to believe but one of the most soughtafter tickets in town is for a free-admission concert. The Legends of Jazz Series continues at Onondaga Community College, at 8 p.m. Friday March 4, with the Tremé Brass Band of New Orleans. Problem is that the shows are staged at OCC’s diminutive Storer Auditorium, with a maximum capacity of 330. OCC arranged to distribute tickets via Sound Garden in Armory Square, but many seekers were simply told there were no tickets left. “The series theme is Jazz on the Hill: Exploring America’s Musical Roots,” said Syracuse Jazz Fest founder Frank Malfitano, who booked the 2011-2011 series for OCC’s Arts Across Campus program. The Lonnie Smith Trio concludes the series on April 2; 498-2944.

to remove them, and I don’t think anyone here [in the mayor’s office] believes it would be a good idea to remove them.� Paid parking, Maxwell said, discourages business employees or neighborhood residents from filling up the on-street spots meant for customers and patrons, and encourages turnover of visitors to a neighborhood. Paid parking in business corridors throughout the city, like Eastwood, Westcott and North Salina Street, creates con-

sistency and is the ultimate goal, Maxwell said. “Given that we use these parking pay stations in other parts of the city, I find it hard to believe that people wouldn’t return to a business because of one parking ticket,� he said. But that’s exactly what Skinner sees happening in Eastwood. “We have had businesses close or relocate due to it,� he said. “That obviously doesn’t help bring growth or tax revenue. Small neighborhood villages like Eastwood need every reason to attract businesses to

open and residents to shop, not the opposite.�

A number of nuisances

What happens next Common Councilors Kathleen Joy (atlarge), Matt Rayo (1st District) and Nader Maroun (5th District) attended the Feb. 28 Eastwood TNT meeting, where the paid parking enforcement was a hot topic. Check out eastwoodrenaissance.webs. com for a list of the “nuisances� the group applies to the parking machines, and view or sign the petition. Follow updates to the stor y at theeaglecny.com or in upcoming issues of The Eagle.

The Eastwood Renaissance Association, which is distributing two separate petitions to remove the parking pay stations in Eastwood, compiled a list of “nuisances� caused by the machines. Among them: Nuisance #12 - Money that could have bought goods and services in the area or paid bills ends up going to the city via fines and fees; and Nuisance #14 - Once visitors stop coming local businesses start to fail and local real estate values fall. Visit eastwoodrenaissance.webs.com for the full list of.

Wanted: Kennedys for parade float In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of President John Fitgerald Kennedy, the CNY chapter of the Irish American Cultural Institute is calling all Kennedies to people their float. Building off the theme of this year’s Syracuse St. Patrick’s Day Parade “The Blessings of Irish Wit and Wisdom,” CNY-IACI will present a float commemorating JFK. “Now we are looking to people our float,” said chapter president Margie Wipper. “There are six local businesses with ‘Kennedy’

in their name and we are inviting all gather their relatives, to don their logos and march alongside a float honoring one of their most beloved relatives, JFK, on March 12, 2011.” The goal is 50 Kennedys, one for each year since January 1961. Wipper said several families have responded but more are needed. The CNY-IACI has posted “Kennedy Wanted” posters in local Irish pubs. If you are a Kennedy or know a Kennedy, contact Wipper at mwipper@twcny.rr.com or 636-9567.

THE

Local ‘Dancing with the Stars’ returns in April

On April 9, local “stars” will show off their moves during the fourth annual Dancing with the Stars fundraiser, to be held at the Oncenter. This year, dancers include Amy Robbins, of 93Q; Sal Maneen, of Newschannel 9; Mark Muhammad, a Syracuse University adjunct professor, minister and board member of Unity Mutual and the Gifford Foundation; SU student Kyle Huff; Bill Brod, owner of the Syracuse New Times; Lisa de Silva, past president of the Junior League; Sharon Owens, deputy commissioner of the city development office; Angi Renna, vice president of financial services at AXA and Nick Dereszynski, president of Brown & Brown, Empire State. All the professional dancers are from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in downtown Syracuse. Judges this year are Sean Buck, Ambi Danial and Anthony Salatino. Tie breaking judge and professional dance scorer is Maria Cirino. The fundraiser is to benefit the restoration and renovation of the historic property at 930 James Street. The home was built in 1853 and is an irreplaceable piece of CNY history. George and Rebecca Barnes were avid abolitionists and worked tirelessly to help the freedom seekers find their way both to upstate New York and to Canada. The Barnes-Hiscock mansion was recently placed on the National Register of Historic Places and made a part of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program. More details on the evening and the foundation can be found at GRBarnes.org. Tickets to the fundraiser may be purchased by calling 422-2445, 682-0556 or at the website.
