“

New York is the most taxed state in the nation. For the first time in recent memory, an Executive Budget recognizes that dismal reality and looks to roll-back that trend. A New York state budget with no new taxes and no new spending bears so little resemblance to a traditional New York state budget, it’s almost hard to believe.

Governor Cuomo’s proposal provides a sane approach for right sizing our government and we commend him for making the difficult choices that these times require.”

City beat F.O.C.U.S Greater Syracuse hopes to do away with hostile and combative school board sessions and town hall meetings, starting with a free public forum to discuss the issues. Making these meetings a place where all voices can be heard, a place for civil civic discourse. “We want to make sure any public policy that is created by any public forum has citizen input and that’s very important because after all we’re the ones that have to abide by the policies,� said Chuckie Holstein, executive director of F.O.C.U.S Greater Syracuse.

The forum will be held at 7:30 a.m. Friday Feb. 18 in City Hall Commons, 201 E. Washington St., first floor atrium. The forum will be the first step in an attempt to create more inclusive and beneficial public meetings.

Last year when the Liverpool School Board President died at the end of the Liverpool Board of Education meeting F.O.C.U.S decided they needed to do something. They assembled Syracuse University, CNY Speaks and the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration

THE (PARCC), and decided the issue of creating productive public forums would be a good place for them to collaborate, Holstein said.

She said the goal of the meeting is to have an effective citizen participatory session and create a tip sheet of information collected at the forum that can be handed to people that manage public forums and public meetings. “We want to get the most participation we possibly can, which means a lot less talking from the front of the room and a lot more listening,� said Holstein. “The listening can be organized so that when you finish the meeting you have at least a report to make that has some validity and value to it and that’s what we’re hoping to get out of this session.�

PARCC will provide 30 or 40 facilitators to staff roundtables where people will have an opportunity to share their thoughts on how they would like to see a civil forum run.

About 1,600 to 1,700 people have been invited to the forum via email. Holstein said public officials and their assistants need training on how to run these meetings. She hopes they’ll be in attendance at the forum.

The forum is free and open to all. For more information on CNY Speaks or FOCUS visit their websites at cnyspeaks.com and focussyracuse.org.

Coach Doug Marrone led the Orange to an 8-5 record this year, including a victory in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30.

If you want to literally own a piece of SU’s winning season, perhaps a chunk of end zone from Yankee Stadium is what you’re after; consider the $59.99 plus shipping and handling an investment in the future of SU football.

THE

City beat Syracuse’s Black history, digitized

It’s a new year and with it comes a new Black History month exhibit at the Onondaga Historical Association Museum. There are no artifacts in this exhibit because all the items displayed will become a part of a virtual museum.

“Community Collections: An Exhibit of Photographs, Documents, and Oral Histories from the Local African American Community” opened on a snowy Wednesday last week at the OHA Museum, 321 Montgomery Street.

This year the collection comes from The Black Preservation Project’s Digitization Fair, held last fall at the Beauchamp Library.

Claire Enkosky and Deborah Spector, OHA interns, were the curators of the exhibit.

They took about 60-80 hours combined to put the exhibit together.

Sixty photographs were chosen to be a

part of the exhibit. Enkosky became familiar with some of the people who collected photos. She found Elizabeth Ann Page’s story to be particularly intriguing. Enkosky said Page researched her genealogy extensively; one photo in the exhibit is of Page’s paternal grandfather, Daniel Page. The photo was taken in 1880 on the Madison Gorge Plantation.

“Knowing these people and then seeing photographs and the history behind, them it was really compelling,” Enkosky said.

Along with the photographs are documented oral histories taken from people in Syracuse in their 80s and 90s. They talk about their lives in the 15th Ward, telling stories from as far back as they can remember, said Greg Tripoli, executive director of the OHA. There is a 20-minute video of about 15 video clips with people telling their stories.

It’s a part of an ongoing project with the Black Preservation Project and “Black Syracuse—A Community History and Mapping Project.”

The exhibit also has newspaper clippings and documents, one being the acceptance Continues on next page.

SWM’s inaugural cover woman, County Executive Joanie Mahoney, was on hand with her congratulations.

“I actually don’t subscribe to any women’s magazine,” Mahoney said. She added she is looking forward to curling up with Syracuse Woman Magazine and giving it a good read.

SWM is the “younger sister” of the already successful Rochester Woman Magazine, which was first published 10 years ago. RWM publishers Barbara McSpadden and Kelly Breuer bought the magazine in August 2009. A few months later, they relaunched the publication with a new look and feel.

Copies of SWM can be found at local Tops and Wegmans, coffee shops and various area salons, spas and medical offices.

Downtown After Dark

Tumbleweed rolls into Phoebe’s Saturday!

As the group’s name suggests, the Tumbleweed Jones Band hails from up on cripple creek. Figuratively speaking, that is.

The six musicians actually reside in places no more rural than Skaneateles and Camillus. Their lady vocalist and viola player, Denise Shuart, is city gal for crying out loud. She lives in the Westcott Nation.

The fact remains, however, that Tumbleweed Jones rarely performs in the city.

“Over the past year or so, we’ve gigged mostly in Skaneateles, Camillus, Auburn, Marcellus and only occasionally in Syracuse,” said mandolinist Tom Wanamaker. “Last Saturday, [Jan. 29], we played to a packed house at a beer and wine tasting at Joe’s Pasta Garage as part of the Skaneateles Winterfest.’

Intriguing instrumentation The Tumbleweed Jones Band includes Chris Kuhns on drums, Bob Paul on bass, Denise Shuart on viola, Dave Walton on rhythm guitar, Todd Wetmore on guitar and lap steel and Tom Wanamaker on electric mandolin.

The sextet’s set list ranges from Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones to Neil Diamond and Ricky Nelson.

Tumbleweed Jones’ favorite jammin’ tunes include “Jack Straw” by the Grateful Dead, “Up on Cripple Creek” by the Band and “Last Dance with MaryJane” by Tom Petty. They also throw in the odd contempoContinues on next page.

“We like to think of ourselves as an interpretive band which I suppose is moreor-less synonymous with the beat-to-death term jam band,” Wanamaker said. “But we like to let loose and let the song go where it goes. Then we’ll chase it down, add some three- and four-part harmonies, wrap it up and move on to the next one.”

Back to the ’burbs After its Phoebe’s performance this Saturday night, the TJB returns to the suburbs, playing Feb. 26 at the Cedar House Lanes in Skaneateles, March 11 at the Red Rooster Pub in Skaneateles Falls, and March 19 at McNamara’s Pub in Camillus.

With a sonorous viola, a trebly mandolin and a wailing lap steel adding extra flavor to the proceedings on top of its vibrant vocals and riveting repertoire, the Tumbleweed Jones Band forges a sound that deserves to be heard downtown more often.

Symphony sympathy The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra is about a quarter of the way toward reaching its emergency fund-raising goal of $1.75.

At a Feb. 5 press conference on the stage at the Mulroy Civic Center’s Crouse Hinds Theater downtown, SSO officials said they’ve raised $473,787.

A gift of $100,000 from the Panasci family

was the single highest of the 1,374 donations which came in over the past two weeks. The late Henry A. Panasci Jr. was the founder of Fay’s Drugs and chairman of Cygnus Management Group.

The orchestra’s public fund-raising campaign is called “Keep the music playing.” The SSO hopes to raise $1.75 million by August.

Ambitious Akiyama One of the SSO’s best-loved former music directors, Maestro Kazuyoshi Akiyama will return to the Crouse Hinds Concert Theater podium to conduct a program called Nexus at 8 p.m. on Feb. 25-26. Akiyama will lead the SSO as it performs an ambitious, program featuring Steve Reich’s “Music for Pieces of Wood,” Toru Takemitsu’s “From me flows what you call Time” and Jean Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43.

Tickets cost $15, $25 and $40, and buying tickets is another great way to support the SSO during its ongoing financial travails.

SU hoops roots If, like thousands of CNYers, you’re fascinated by the Syracuse Orange basketball tradition, you’d enjoy hearing from Mark Allen Baker, author of “Basketball History in Syracuse: Hoops Roots.” Baker will speak about his book at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, at Liverpool Public Library, 310 Tulip St., on the corner of Second Street (Route 370), in the village of Liverpool; 457-0310; lpl.org.

Baker will trace the evolution of Syracuse’s “hoops roots,” and books will be available for purchase and signing.

Viewpoints Our view

Well, which is it?

We heard two very different sides to the same story this weekend.

The Upstate Snowdown held at Lipe Art Park on Saturday, according to one Syracuse resident, was pitifully unattended.

“You know Syracuse; half the time no one shows up to anything,” she said dismissively.

On the other hand, the Near Westside Initiative’s website boasted that more than 150 showed up for the three-hour event that featured a snow sculpture-building contest and hot beverages.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard strikingly different reviews of the same event, and it got us wondering: How can two people at the same event have such contrasting experiences?

We think it comes down to expectations.

The NWSI was one of the organizers of the Upstate Snowdown, and we suspect that there was a general uneasiness leading up to Saturday. Would anyone come? Would the weather cooperate? Would people enjoy themselves?

So a gathering of more than 150 people probably blew organizers away, and understandably so. Congratulations, that’s no small task. But therein lies the problem.

But for the average resident, who just wants Syracuse to the vibrant, culturally relevant urban center that it has the potential to be, another event with what seems like a handful of people milling around is kind of a let-down.

We have to align our expectations.

Residents: We, as a whole, need to give organizers a reason to continue brainstorming, funding and working tirelessly to put on events. That means we need to actually attend them.

Organizers: Hold potential attendees and participants to a higher standard. If there are things to do, will we do them?

Maybe. Let’s find out.

Doing the Civil Rights Moon Walk It’s that time again: Black History Month. Where warm and fuzzy commercials grace the airwaves from Proctor & Gamble, McDonald’s and others, extolling the accomplishments of African-Americans.

Our local Wegman’s has a Black History Month display complete with the template verbiage that accompanies such a declaration, sepia toned photos and historical information that explains an individual’s role in Black History. The U.S. Postal Service rolls out their Black History Month stamps and organizations put on their annual Black History Month pageantry with pride.

Black History Month is a beginning of awareness of Black History by the nation and Carter G. Woodson’s dream of not having to dwell on just the initial week but having black history woven into the American fabric.

I recall as child growing up with the backdrop of Woolworth counter sit-ins, Jim Crow-tainted trips south, remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a man, not as an image a civil rights icon or an excuse to take a day of leisure.

There was no talk of “role models” because we looked to our families and community for those people, not the television.

For me, while I respected the heroes of national stature my role models were

Perspective

all around me. My father, who married a widow with Jackson four young children; an uncle who, like his father, built houses with brick and mortar.

This list could go on and on but my point is that before the era of media entities telling us what was important we discovered it on our own, in our communities in the black church, the barbershop, beauty salon and even the corner bar.

For African-American men, a father, uncle, mom or aunt who go to work every day are the best role models a child could have.

I was blessed to have those people in my life growing up. If I had depended on the public face of Syracuse and Onondaga County I would have felt invisible. I can’t imagine how young African-American youth feel today.

An African-American male who just retired from Onondaga County told me, “there will be no more blacks in my position, the county made sure of that by the way they allowed white men to hire their relatives.

There are no black men or women within my craft to follow me.”

While I’m supportive of equal opportunity and women’s rights, the most-hired category in both the City of Syracuse and

CNY

Onondaga County government has been “young white female.” As the nearly extinct African-Americans retire from public employment few young African-Americans are being brought into the system.

The next time either Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney, Mayor Stephanie Miner or any public official lament the hopelessness of our inner-city young people, ask them this question: Would you hire one?

When I look at our community I see a place that is slow to include African-Americans even in entry level positions, where our local radio and television broadcast news is becoming lily-white while our community has turned increasingly black and brown.

I stutter to say Happy Black History Month in Syracuse.

There were more blacks in news in the 1970s than there are now! We’re doing the Civil Rights Moon Walk. (Cut to Michael Jackson moon-walking.)

What happened to Black radio? Oh, Clear Channel had other ideas, so goes the push for black ownership. Both blackowned stations have been devoured like prehistoric dinosaur snacks.

Ha-ha-ha-happy B-b-b-b-Black His-hishistory Ma-ma-month!

Syracuse EOC is proud to have Katrina Norvell as our student of the month for the College Prep Program. Katrina was born and raised in Syracuse, N.Y. She has little time for personal hobbies because along with attending classes at SEOC, she works full-time, has a home to maintain and her children to support. Katrina likes to read, but her busy life does not allow much time for it. She decided to continue her studies after a list of educational programs was recommended for pre-requisites by a local nursing school. She chose Syracuse EOC because of the small class sizes and the convenient location.

Your V-Day play-by-play

This guide to Valentine’s Day can be used by anyone in any stage of a romantic relationship, from contentedly single to lawfully wed.

Depending on your status, sub in a platonic pal for a date and go to town. Since Feb. 14 falls on a Monday this year, we thought you’d prefer to celebrate over the weekend. But if your special someone still wants to go out on Valentine’s Day, or if you are looking for to-do’s a la carte, find the Get Out: The Guide on page 18 for more events on Feb. 14 and throughout the week.

- Ami Olson

Laugh ‘til it hurts

There is a reason romantic relationships are timelessly hilarious: we’ve all been there, for the sickeningly sweet parts and the pull-yourhair-out crazy parts.

And for this Valentine’s Day, Not Another Theater Company wants to help you relive those emotions with “Love Letters and Hate Mail.”

The production includes two one-act plays, beginning with A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters,” a romantic classic told through love letters written over 50 years. “Love Letters” is directed by Dustin M. Czarny and features married couples Dan Stevens and Nora O’Dea, and Mark and Cathy English on alternate nights.

“You’ve Got Hate Mail,” by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millimore, is intended as a comic answer to the first act and is a demonstration of how modern technology, when mistakenly misused, can wreak havoc on a relationship. Spouses Navroz and Binaifer Dabu star, along with Pam Hipius, Dustin Czarny and Crystal Roupas directed by Greg Hipius.

Starring spouses Navroz and Binaifer Dabu, Dustin M. Czarny and Heather J. Roach, with Pam Hipius; directed by (Pam’s husband) Greg Hipius.

The only dedicated dinner theater in Syracuse will stage this latest love-themed offering Fridays and Saturdays from Feb. 11 to 19, with dinner at 6:45 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m., or as brunch and matinee on Sunday Feb. 13, with brunch at 12:45 p.m. and show at 2 p.m.

Dinner tickets are $29 or $55 for couples; see the show only for $20.

Visit dontfeedtheactors.com for additional information.

After the show, head to Singers Karaoke Club in Solvay and take your place on the stage. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to let your song choice reflect your relationship status.

Don’t worry, the sound of laughter is, as always, encouragement.

Navroz Dabu and Dustin M. Czarny react to racy correspondance in “You’ve Got Hate Mail.”

Romance around the world

Take a world-class Italian opera production and bookend it with delicious global cuisine for a world tour without leaving the city limits.

The centerpiece of this excursion is Syracuse Opera’s staging of Don Giovanni at 8 p.m. Friday Feb. 11 and 2 p.m. Sunday Feb. 13.

Mozart’s operatic interpretation of legendary lothario Don Juan is decidedly unromantic, though it blends comedy with its darker undertones of deceit and a reckless lifestyle. Bonus: The lead character is a jerk, but he’ll remind your date of what a great catch you are.

The Syracuse Opera casts local performers for its productions, and cast members rehearse eight hours a day for only two weeks before opening night, said Syracuse Opera publicist Joe Stabb.

Tickets range from $18 up to $163; check the seating chart and secure your seats at syracuseopera.com.

But before you settle into your seats at the Mulroy Civic Center, flex your taste buds by trying an ethnic dish.

Here are our suggestions for a meal before and dessert after the opera: On Friday, check out Tappy Hour at Laci’s Tapas Bar at 304 Hawley Ave. Follow up the main event with a hearty dessert waffle at Funk N’ Waffles on Marshall Street. Or begin with a Polish feast at Eva’s European Sweets at 1305 Milton Ave., then treat yourself to bread pudding and a stout at Kitty Hoynes in Armory Square.

If you opt for the Sunday matinee performance, indulge in the breakfast brunch at L’Adour Restaurant Francais, 110 Montgomery St., and fill up on French delicacies. Choose from three ethnic spots for dessert: Mexican at The Mission, 304 E. Onondaga ; Asian fusion at Lemongrass in Armory Square or Indian at Taj Indian Palace, 3138 Erie Boulevard East.

My cheesy valentine

The only way an 11-hour B-movie marathon can be any cheesier is if it were preceded with an authentic cheesesteak sandwich from Taste of Philadelphia.

So we humbly suggest you arrive to the Eastwood gem with enough time to savor every greasy bite before the Low Budget Pictures 20th Anniversary Farewell Throwdown begins at 4 p.m. Saturday Feb. 12 just a block away at the Palace Theater.

Taste of Philadelphia, at 2533 James St., has been serving the finest shaved steak and cheese hoagies north of the PA border since 1976.

The farewell bash will screen LBP films as well as B-movie horror classics from 4 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday, along with Q&A sessions with scene legends like Debbie Rochon (“Night of the Living Dead,” 1968), and dealer tables.

“It’s definitely for people who love cheesy b-movie schlock,” said Seavers. But casual fans can revel in the gritty, goofy goodness, too, with more “mainstream” offerings like the 1986 flick “Never Too Young to Die,” starring John Stamos and Gene Simmons.

Been wondering where you can buy your honey a pair of replica Freddy Kruger gloves? Pick up a pair at the Palace on Saturday, and peruse other dealer tables, too.

Nurture the nature

Make Saturday a day to appreciate the great outdoors, without having to spend all day in the cold.

Did you know the Rosamond Gifford Zoo opens at 10 a.m. all year round? And since 60 percent of the animals at the zoo are housed indoors, there is plenty to see even in the coldest months. Admission rates are slashed in half for the winter season, so pay just $4 for adults for adults; $2 for 3- to 18-year-olds and $2.50 for seniors age 62 and up.

When you’ve had enough fresh air, settle in at the Museum of Science and Technology’s Bristol IMAX Omnitheater for a super-sized show. Choose from “Under the Sea” at noon, 2 and 4 p.m., “Africa: The Serengeti” at 1 p.m., “Aliens of the Deep” at 3 p.m. or “Amazon” at 5 p.m. Each film runs less than an hour and lets you feel surrounded by the environment on the six-story high screen.

Admission to one movie costs $9.50 per adult, add a second movie for $5 or admission to the museum for $7. (Come on, when was the last time you walked through the Discovery Cave?)

There are additional IMAX show times at 6, 7 and 8 p.m., but if you want to get to your next destination on time you’ll have to get going.

From 7 to 9 p.m., take your valentine by the arm and traipse through a lantern-lit path in the evening wilderness at Baltimore Woods Nature Center in Marcellus. The Sweetheart Snowshoe program follows a romantic ramble through the woods with hot drinks and decadent desserts indoors. Cost is $30 per couple; BWNC members pay $20 per couple; baltimorewoods.org.

Word to the wise: Experienced snowshoe enthusiasts recommend wearing lightweight layers, waterproof footwear and wool socks instead of cotton, which won’t wick moisture away from your skin.

Good Sports Crunch finally dispel Phantoms

By Russ Tarby

Refreshed after a week off while the American Hockey League All-Star game was played, the Syracuse Crunch returned to the ice last weekend winning a rare two games in a row.

On Friday, Feb. 4, the Crunch finally dispelled the Adirondack Phantoms, shutting them out 5-0 at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The elusive Phantoms – the worst team in the entire AHL – had inexplicably beaten Syracuse in each of their five previous games this season.

Then, on Saturday, Feb. 5, the Crunch whipped the best team in the league’s Eastern Division, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, at the Onondaga County War Memorial by a score of 4-2.

It was the first time the struggling Syracuse squad has enjoyed back-toback victories since New Year’s Day. Facing the Phantoms Friday in Glens Falls, Crunch left winger Patrick Maroon stung his former team with two goals, and goalie J.P. Levasseur made 31 saves for his fourth shutout of the season.

Three of Syracuse’s five goals came on power plays, and the team’s penalty-kill was extremely effective, not allowing a man-up goal during eight Adirondack opportunities.

Meanwhile, the Crunch took aim at Phantoms’ goalie Johan Backlund with 25 shots, resulting in goals by Kyle Palmieri, Matt Beleskey and Mark Mitera along with Maroon’s deuce.

Saturday at the War Memorial, the Crunch scored three power play goals

for the second straight night to beat first-place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, 4-2.

Crunch center Nick Bonino popped in two goals including a late-game empty-netter, courtesy of a pinpoint pass from rookie Kyle Palmieri. Center Maxime Macenauer also scored along with left winger Matt Beleskey who notched the game-winner plus an assist. Netminder Levasseur stopped 36 of 38 shots en route to his second victory in 24 hours.

Syracuse’s next home games are set for Feb. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m., as the team faces off at the War Memorial against the San Antonio Rampage and the Rochester Amerks, respectively.

Ticket prices range between $13 and $22; 473-4444; syracusecrunch.com.

Will Christina come to the ‘Cuse?

The Syracuse Crunch has invited pop star Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem at an upcoming home game for a chance to redeem herself after flubbing the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XLV Sunday Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Aguilera, 30, is a five-time Grammy Award-winner. After getting through the first three lines of the song flawlessly, Aguilera stumbled and mistakenly sang, “What so proudly we watched,” in place of the correct line, “O’er the ramparts we watched.”

The official invitation to Aguilera, signed by Syracuse Crunch Senior Vice President Jim Sarosy, urges the singer to take the offer seriously: “This opportunity certainly gives you a forum to properly demonstrate just how well you can perform the anthem before an intimate crowd of 6,200 fans in the heartland of America – Syracuse, NY. ... We hope you take this invitation seriously and know that our organization is committed to make a donation, courtesy of your performance, to benefit our U.S. Troops.”

Orange revives with key road wins over UConn, USF

By Kareem Obeid

With concerns all around them, both real and otherwise, the Syracuse men’s basketball team went to the road and turned its season around, knocking off no. 7 Connecticut and South Florida on the road.

The Orange were in free fall, having lost four straight contests. It even had to deal with Internet rumors, later debunked, of pointshaving in the lead-up to the game against UConn last Wednesday at the XL Center in Hartford.

But as it has so many times in its long hoops history, the Orange proved that there is no challenge that cannot be met. It weathered the storm in a borderline must-win game and defeated the Huskies 64-58. SU avoided losing a fifth consecutive game for first time in Jim Boeheim’s 35-year coaching tenure and improved to 19-4.

It helped the Orange that UConn’s Kemba Walker, a candidate for the National Player of the Year, scored a season-low eight points.

Though teammate Jeremy Lamb got 24 points, it wasn’t enough.

Brandon Triche was SU’s most consistent scorer, posting 16 points on seven-for-16 shooting, along with four assists. Rick Jackson

contributed with his 15th double-double of the season, getting 13 points and 11 rebounds.

He leads the Big East in rebounds at 11.5 per game.

SU, who had fallen to no. 17 in the national rankings, struggled shooting the ball at 31.6 percent, (12-38) but compensated by dominating the rebounds 36-24 and holding the Huskies to a season-low 58 points at it shot 36.2 percent from the field.

Bye Moussa Keita continues to be a pleasant surprise. Against UConn, he had 11 rebounds, plus four points and four steals. His defense was remarkable, altering Connecticut shots and disrupting the penetration of their guards.

The first half was largely a defensive battle.

UConn gained a 6-0 lead as SU had another miserable start, missing its first 6 shots. The Orange were held without a basket for nearly five minutes before Triche scored on a fast break followed by Jackson’s hard driving layup.

Still down late in the half, SU generated an 8-2 run. When Jackson knocked down a lefthanded buzzer beating shot, the Orange had a 26-25 lead at the break, this despite missing all 10 of its 3-point tries.

But in the second half, SU’s offense me-

thodically improved. Triche set the tone, hitting a pair of trifectas that suddenly put the Orange ahead 36-29. UConn countered with a quick 7-0 run to tie it, 36-36.

They kept trading runs, but the Orange never trailed again. Late in regulation, Keita and Joseph had consecutive plays where drove to the basket and threw the ball high off the rim – and still landed in.

In the waning minutes, SU closed it out with lockdown defense and hitting out their performance by burying six out of seven free throws.

Joseph and Scoop Jardine combined to score 18 points, even though they combined to shoot five-for-22 from the floor. Dion Waiters finished with nine points and played an integral role in the team’s late success.

Now with some momentum, the Orange went to Tampa, Fla., and with a large SU fan contingent drowning out the home crowd, Jackson led SU to a 72-49 romp over South Florida at the St. Pete Times Forum.

Jackson, in yet another double-double, amassed 14 points and 12 rebounds, leading the Orange to its 20th win of the season – the 33rd time in 35 years a Boeheim-coached team has reached that milestone.

“We are very happy to get there (20 wins),”

said Boeheim. “We like to get there as early as possible.”

The Orange continued to shine on the defensive side, limiting the Bulls to 35 percent shooting from the field, including two of 15 from 3-point range. On the other side, SU finished at 51.4 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from 3-point range, and also outrebounded USF 41-17.

Waiters joined the tandem of Jackson and Joseph posting double figures of 10 points. C.J. Fair continues to improve and has overshadowed teammate James Southerland, logging in a very productive 15 minutes. Fair registered seven points and nine rebounds.

“We were at a dark point,” said Jackson.

“Right know we are playing well and our guys are confident. I think we are playing the way we are supposed to be.”

SU and USF traded baskets early before Waiters connected on a 3-pointer from the corner and Joseph scored five points as a part of an 8-0 run. Despite some misplays late in the half, the Orange still held that margin, 3829, at halftime.

In the second half, SU controlled the tempo and the defense forced USF into cold shooting.

The Orange built an impressive 47-31 margin, and the Bulls never got closer than 10 again.

More than 150 chill out at Snowdown

It’s always a gamble to plan an event that is predicated on the weather. Fortunately, the weather cooperated on Feb. 5 when more than 150 people gathered in Lipe Art Park, on the Near Westside, for a snow sculpture competition and general fun in the snow. The temperature held steady at a bearable 34 degrees, and with more than 18 inches of snow on the ground and hot chocolate and coffee readily available, it was the perfect formula for a winter event in Syracuse.

Based on the success of the event, coordinators are already planning Upstate Snowdown 2012. For three hours the Stewards of Lipe Art Park and the 40 Below Public Arts Task Force, in partnership with the Near Westside Initiative hosted a snow sculpture competition. Eight sculptures were created including a recreation of the “Spirit of Syracuse” on the National Grid building, a replica of the Gear Factory, a boat on the Eerie Canal, and a giant hand (with colored fingernails). At the end of the afternoon, as fresh snow was falling quickly onto the sculptures, a jury selected three winners, all receiving a prize from a local Syracuse establishment. elizabeth case-carter

Clockwise from top: At the first Upstate Snowdown event, snow sculptors competed, spectators took aim at the target range, and art “hung” on the ice gallery wall.

In an effort to help the community improve eating habits and healthier food choices, the Department of Nutrition Science and Dietetics at SU will provide a series of four confidential dietary consultations to participates in a new study.

Registered dietitians, working with seniors and graduate students in the nutrition science and dietetics program, will perform two inperson and two phone or e-mail consultation sessions to address dietary and lifestyle issues to encourage overall health.

Around Town

Faced with silent protest, J-E BOE still votes to appeal The Jordan-Elbridge school board voted to appeal two State Supreme Court decisions at its Feb. 2 meeting held in the high school cafeteria. This following a tremendous show of resistance from a roomful of community members, who stood silently holding signs inscribed with the message “VOTE NO” as both votes took place.

Many urged against a vote of “yes” during the public comments session, where around 25 people spoke. Among them was Tim Schutt, who has a daughter in ninth grade at J-E. “I am standing here tonight to appeal to the six board members whose terms are not ending this year … My appeal to you is based on my belief that despite all that has happened, we are still more similar than we are different,” Schutt said.

Schutt referred to the court decisions as well as interim superintendent Larry Zacher’s decision on Monday to bar suspended principal David Zehner from attending board meetings and activities on school property without his written permission.

“Tonight, you are voting on two recent rulings from Judge Greenwood, then you need to decide whether to retain the status quo and allow a fellow taxpayer to be singled out and banned from a meeting because the powers that be disagreed with what he said. You may not be able to address this tonight, but you need to weigh it very carefully,” Schutt said.

“You are attempting to hold water in your fist, and the tighter you grip it, the more it’s gonna slip through your fingers.”

Schutt said appealing the case won by Zehner appeared, “to the layperson, to be little more than a pointless war of egos. You’re poised to gamble again with taxpayer money, and for what purpose? To prove you were right? To avoid taking a class on open government? Frankly, I think that both the board of education and the community would benefit from a better understanding of open government and as a taxpayer, I ask that you please stop taking money out of the classroom and handing it to lawyers.”

Lee Badman, a parent and village of Jordan trustee, asked if the district’s lawyer, Frank Miller, would wave the costs associated with the appeal of the case won by Scro if the district were to lose again.

“There are no guarantees offered by attorney Miller, nor does any attorney ever offer to guarantee the outcome in any litigation,” board President Mary Alley responded. “This is generally the case in any litigation.”

Residents stood in silence at the Feb. 2 Jordan-Elbridge school board meeting as the board voted to appeal two court cases lost on Thursday Jan. 20.

She added that the board had also been advised to appeal by Matt Fletcher, general counsel for Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES, and by staff attorneys with the New York State School Boards Association.

Alley told residents that appealing would cost the district an estimated $7,500.

The board voted unanimously to appeal the court decision ordering that the board reinstate Anthony Scro, fired in October, as district treasurer. The appeal will likely not be heard until July 1 at the earliest, in Rochester state court.

“It’s disappointing, to say the least,” Scro said following the meeting. “I view it as strictly a stall tactic by the district.”

Scro was surprised by the vote, but not by the community’s show of support.

“I’ve had them right along,” he said.

During the public comments session, village of Elbridge Trustee Fred Weisskopf spoke highly of Scro’s work for the district. Weisskopf worked alongside Scro in the district office as a part-time account clerk before resigning in October.

Weisskopf said Scro went above and beyond his job requirements as treasurer, which contributed to outstanding external audits received by the district.

“Area school district treasurers and building officials routinely called the district office

looking for Mr. Scro to answer difficult questions and for guidance and advice, and he always responded gladly.”

Weisskopf said he believed Scro was fired because he spoke up when he saw wrongdoings within the district.

“He raised concerns with the external auditor, the state auditor and the superintendent about matters he felt were incorrect, inappropriate and in some cases, illegal,” Weisskopf said.

Before the board’s vote to appeal the court case won by Zehner, in which the board was found to have violated Open Meetings Law and ordered to commence Committee on Open Government training within 90 days, board member Brian Richardson offered some advice that echoed some of Tim Schutt’s comments.

“I would like to make the suggestion that, although I am in favor of appealing this … that we look at other mechanisms for getting the Open Meetings Law program brought to the board and the public,” Richardson said.

The majority of the board voted to appeal the Zehner case, while board member Michael Jorolemon was the only one to vote “no.” His vote was met with thunderous applause from the audience.

Proposed pay freeze gets cold shoulder in Liverpool

On Feb. 3, the leadership of United Liverpool Faculty Association, the union representing over 1,000 teachers, teaching assistants, teacher aides and other staff in the Liverpool Central School district, determined that they would not vote on a proposal to open member’s contracts and freeze wages for the 2011-2012 school year.

Liverpool Central School District Superintendent Richard Johns sent a letter on Jan. 26 to staff members asking their approval of a wage freeze for the 2011-2012 school year in order to balance the district’s budget. Johns said the wage freeze could make up for approximately $1.5 million of the $4.5 million budget deficit, thereby saving 30 jobs in the district. Superintendent Johns and the assistant superintendents in the district have already accepted a wage freeze on their salaries for the 2011-2012 school year.

This comes one year after the district made a $11.1 million cut to their budget for the 2010-2011 school year by cutting 130 positions.

“We made some very difficult decisions going forward—we cut out a larger percentage out of budget than any other school district around,” said Superintendent Johns. “But we did that quite purposely so we could make those cuts, get our legs under us and move forward and hopefully not have as massive cuts this year.”

“I don’t think there was any guarantee one way or the other that our taking a wage freeze would guarantee that that [the district] wouldn’t have to cut positions,” said Miller.

Superintendent Johns and the Liverpool Board of Education must now determine alternative measures to eliminate the districts budget deficit. Property tax increases for the residents of Liverpool will be considered along with job cuts. Superintendent Johns will make his budget recommendations public on Feb. 28 “Eighty percent of our budget is heartbeats,” said Superintendent Johns, “so we’re not going to find millions and millions of dollars by cutting back our paper clip supply.”

THE

Feb. 10, 2011

By Phil Blackwell

Many things get lost in the joyful aftermath of a Super Bowl victory. Or, to put it more accurately, a few themes take hold and do not let go.

So it was when the Green Bay Packers proved six points better than the Pittsburgh Steelers in the XLV edition in Arlington. As usual, the tale of the winning QB trumps all with Aaron Rodgers, and a whole lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lombardi Trophy goes homeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Title back in Titletownâ&#x20AC;? headlines.

Okay, fine, but the real joy and satisfaction of a Super Bowl victory is the multitude of stories found within the winning side, of players coaches and even executives who find career fulfillment, or even redemption, on the sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most grandiose stage.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the Rodgers tale out of the way first, for it has multiple threads. First, Aaron himself had to succeed a near-deity, some guy named Brett. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harrowing enough, as anyone who followed Unitas, Montana, Marino, or Elway could tell you.

The circumstances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; retirement press conference, then drawn-out retraction months in the making - made it worse, and drew in two men, general manager Ted Thompson and

coach Mike McCarthy, who stood by Rodgers while undergoing severe public floggings.

From the talk-show loudmouths to the Web sites dedicated to firing Thompson and/ or McCarthy, it got divisive and downright mean in the otherwise pleasant (and passionate) Packer fan base. But then that Brett guy ended up in Minnesota purple, and Rodgers, well, you know here he is now.

Thompson, never one for told-you-so feelings, is supremely vindicated. His careful, steady building of the Packer roster emphasized long-term results and not short-term headlines. And it allowed Green Bay to weather all kinds of injuries, right through the Super Bowl, when quality vets Charles Woodson and Donald Driver went to the sidelines.

They were great tales, too. Woodson lost a Super Bowl in Oakland and saw another chance (arguably) robbed from him when he sacked Tom Brady late in that snowy playoff game in Foxboro. Yes, the Tuck Rule incident.

Nearly a decade later, Woodson led the Pack on the field and in the locker room, and no one cherished that trophy more when they beat the Steelers, even with an arm in a sling.

Meanwhile, Driver, Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading receiver ( no mean feat, given the likes of Don Hutson, Sterling Sharpe and Antonio

Help Wanted For Sale Garage Sales

Freeman), served as another guiding hand, helping Green Bay through the Favre-Rodgers transition and accepting Aaron early. Another long-time Packer stalwart, Chad Clifton, anchored the offensive line and is finally getting a ring.

Upstate New York has a reason to feel proud. Just as Dorsey Levens, proud Nottingham High School graduate, led Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running attack in its last championship run, James Starks, he of Niagara Falls and the University at Buffalo, did the same here, filling a void after numerous Packer backs got sidelined.

Also, how great was it that the Matthews clan finally has an NFL championship got to celebrate, thanks to big-play Clay at linebacker?

Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather toiled in the NFL without a title. His father logged nearly two decades at linebacker, mostly in Cleveland, without a title. His uncle Bruce went to the Hall of Fame as a dominant lineman, but also never won a title. That drought is over.

The coaches also have reason to be proud.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s linebackers coach Kevin Greene, who played in a Super Bowl for the Steelers that lost to the Dallas Cowboys 15 years ago, now beating the Steelers in the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home

stadium.

Dom Capers is a terrific story, too. Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator toured seven colleges and eight different NFL franchises (plus one USFL stop) in his 38-year coaching odyssey, including the Steelers, but had never won it all until now. Will anyone enjoy the ring more?

And leading it all was McCarthy, the son of Pittsburgh who reached his professional summit at the expense of the team he grew up idolizing. He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flashy or emotional, calmly stalking the sidelines with that laminated placard of plays.

Yet it was McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steady, calm guidance that steered Green Bay through that stormy Favre-to-Rogers transition, and also kept cool when the Pack was 8-6 this season, and one defeat from elimination.

That loss never happened. New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giants, plus Chicago (twice), Philadelphia, Atlanta and Pittsburgh, all had their chances to keep the title from Titletown. None of them succeeded. So take a Lambeau leap, Packer fans. You outlasted them all.

The Elmira-based George Bailey Orchestra takes retro to a new level with the release of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Victorian Pride: Favorite Songs of New York State.â&#x20AC;?

The orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest recording includes regionally significant tunes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Syracuse City March,â&#x20AC;? written by Alexander Urban in 1851, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Utica French Academy March,â&#x20AC;? written

by W.H. Dutton in the same year.

The George Bailey Orchestra, lead by

founder Diane Janowski, acquires vintage sheet music about upstate New York towns and cities from the Library of Congress, then brings them back to life with guitars, fiddles, a tuba or two and unexpected instruments such as Gorham silver forks and vintage sleigh bells.

Other towns musically featured on the CD include Elmira, Binghamton, Ithaca, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Niagara Falls.

Song samples and more album information can be found at georgebaileyorchestra.com, and in a strange intersection of present and past, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Victorian Prideâ&#x20AC;? is available on iTunes.

The Near Westside Initiative (NWSI), with a $25,000 grant from the Central New York Community Foundation, has launched a microloan program for existing businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs on the Near Westside of Syracuse.

Developed by NWSI deputy director Michael Short in partnership with the Community Foundation and Cooperative Federal Credit Union, the program model is innovative and the first revolving microloan program of its kind in the area.

The loan program will provide vital credit financing to spur economic development in the neighborhood, which is experiencing considerable investment and growth.

“Small business and entrepreneurial opportunities represent the cornerstone of a thriving community,” said Short, who is also chair of the NWSI Small Business Development Committee.

The Community Foundation awarded $25,000 of seed funding to launch the program, which will be used to create a loan loss reserve with a local credit union.

Syracuse’s Cooperative Federal Credit Union has agreed to loan a multiple of that guarantee, which will effectively quadruple all funds committed to the program.

With this backing, the NWSI has the ability to grant loans from a $100,000 loan pool to Near Westside businesses and entrepreneurs as a result of the partnership agreement with the credit union.

“For many small businesses, access to affordable capital is the difference between a good idea and a real chance for success,” said Ron Ehrenreich, treasurer and CEO of Cooperative Federal. “While many mainstream banks are unwilling to take those chances, fostering micro-business opportunity has been central to our credit union’s mission for nearly 30 years.”

The NWSI’s microloan program is designed to be the final step in the initiative’s comprehensive small business and entrepreneurial development program, operated by the NWSI’s Small Business Development Committee in partnership with Syracuse University’s South Side Innovation Center, the Small Business Development Center at Onondaga Community College and Syracuse SCORE. The committee actively recruits neighborhood residents and businesses to enroll in the program.
