‘Hackerspace’ settles into Syracuse Building, seeks new members

By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com A brand new community is forming in rented office space on the second floor of Syracuse’s oldest downtown buildings.

Syracuse Innovators Guild, a hackerspace headquartered in the Syracuse Building at 224 Harrison St., already counts around 20 members who are hoping to grow the group.

This calls for a brief vocabulary lesson. The term “hackerspace� technically refers to a community workspace where skills are shared and projects completed, though it often implies a stereotypically nerdy subset; a variety of talents, skills and interests are cultivated through hackerspaces. “It’s up to people to come, make the most of its space and work on things they think are interesting,� said SIG Vice President Mo Morsi, a software engineer.

Think of what would happen if you took the old basement workshop, transplanted it into a public space or storefront and threw open the

Jeff Mahon, an electrical engineer and secretary of the Syracuse Innovators Guild, explains his latest project: replacing a circuit board on a donated LED screen so it can be reprogrammed. Another member, Pete Dowell, is working on a wireless communication circuit to operate the sign wirelessely.

door to anyone willing to share skills, ideas and materials for the sake of learning and creating.

That’s hackerspace.

Though it’s just gaining ground in Syracuse, hackerspaces are already thriving in cities around the world, and closer to home in

Rochester, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

The Syracuse hackerspace began with an ad on Craigslist placed by now-President Clayton Stetz, looking for people interested in starting such a group locally.

Stetz, Morsi and Pete Dowell comprised the

first informal meeting of what would become SIG, and the group quickly grew.

For nearly its first year, SIG was a group of people with similar interests meeting regularly in some of Syracuse’s best bars to share ideas and update each other on their own ongoing projects.

Last November, the group became a registered non-profit in New York thanks to treasurer Chris Pilkingtong, (federal 501c-3 status is in the works), and in January established a home base in the Syracuse Building.

The non-profit status speaks to the “for the community� philosophy behind SIG, said Morsi, and will make more grants and donations available to the group.

That’s important for an organization that is fueled by donations of scrap and spare parts. “Everything here is donated by members, it’s a completely member-driven organization,�

Morsi said.

And “everything� includes everything from furniture, a collection of computer towers to a box labeled “robot guts.�

City beat From page 3 “Nerds are packrats,� added Jeff Mahon, an electrical engineer and secretary of SIG. The existing membership may be heavy on the engineering side (“I can’t lie, there are quite a few techies,� Morsi said), but SIG is really open to all backgrounds and skill sets.

Artists, entrepreneurs and library staffers have also attended open houses and other events at SIG, Morsi said.

The broader the range of backgrounds, interests and skills that make up the membership the more opportunities members will have to

learn from one another, and that’s what SIG is all about. “Community and collaboration,� Morsi said.

The group is especially interested in tapping into the student community in Syracuse. The monthly dues of $50 are reduced to $25 for students. “We’d love to have more artists and musicians, too,� Morsi said.

One of the biggest appeals of hackerspaces, SIG included, is how they tie into the growing DIY movement. Sites like Instructables.com

+'*# ,-5

and Hackaday.com offer step-by-step instructions on using deconstructed objects or simple materials to create functional things.

Learning skills from another human being – instead of the Internet – has its advantages. “Google is great, but at some point it’s awesome just to go to a person and be like, ‘I don’t know anything about web programming, can you just help me out?’� Mahon said.

Mahon pointed to “the beginnings of a movement� of people knowing how to fix things, in contrast with the disposable society of the last 20 to 30 years as another driver to the hackerspace popularity.

Adding a social aspect to a project can help keep the momentum and energy going to see a project through to completion, Mahon and Morsi agreed.

But that can also be intimidating, Mahon recognized. “If you come in and work with someone, a lot of the time, although it looks complicated, it isn’t really that complicated,� he said. “No one wants to fail, but there’s a lot to be said for just rolling up your sleeves and screwing up, learning from it and trying again.�

Syracuse Innovators Guild holds a weekly open house at 7 p.m. every Tuesday, open to everyone. SIG members plan to offer workshops for basic skills like soldering in the near future.

The group is, as you might expect, all over the Internet. Check out sig315.org for more on the group or meetup.com/Syracuse-Hack erspace for event information, or find them on Facebook, Twitter and LinkeIn.

Syracuse squeaks onto top 10 list for retiring military The February issue of USAA Magazine named Syracuse as one of the top 10 best places for military retirement in the United States.

The publication for career military members cited Syracuse’s proximity to Fort Drum and the VA Hospital and eight four-year colleges as the main attractions for retiring to ‘Cuse. “Residents of Syracuse enjoy a low cost of living, with a stable economy and affordable

Last Thursday, Syracuse Department of Public Works crews took advantage of the break in the weather to clear what was left of the snow from the curbs of James Street in Eastwood.

That just happened to be the same day the issue featuring an effort to remove the parking pay stations in Eastwood hit newsstands, and just three days following a TNT meeting in the neighborhood where the parking issue was a hot topic.

We wondered if there was a connection, and asked DPW Deputy Commissioner Tom Simone if the snow removal was in response to complaints about parking in Eastwood.

Simone said the snow removal effort was

“trying to reestablish parking in that area.”

He was not aware of the overall movement in Eastwood to remove the pay stations, or the claim that metered parking was hurting businesses and forcing people to avoid parking on James Street.

Clearing curbs of the salty, gritty snow would help make parking easier and more navigable, Simone said. He said that type of removal was sometimes complaint-driven, but that he wasn’t aware whether snow removal in Eastwood was the result of a complaint.

So maybe the curb clean-up was a sign of impending Spring?

“I would love to be Syracuse’s groundhog,” Simone laughed. “I’d like to say it is Spring.

But as I know, from living in Syracuse for years, that is not the case.”

Looks like he was right.

Viewpoints Our view

SSO’s shortfall means just what you think The second self-imposed fundraising deadline for the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra came and went last weekend, but the SSO didn’t enjoy the same outcome this month as its February effort.

The orchestra fell nearly $145,000 short of its $445,000 goal, the SSO announced Friday. The non-profit has been campaigning heavily since January to stay afloat, pleading the community for donations to help reach an ultimate $1.7 million goal by August through installments along the way. (See Russ Tarby’s column on page 10 for more.)

When the SSO announced Friday that it had failed to reach its goal, we couldn’t help but wonder what that said about the community.

Because it seems pretty straightforward: apparently, we don’t think the SSO is worth it. It’s not worth not eating, for some of us; it’s not worth sacrificing a new outfit, for others.

We’re not judging – just observing.

The SSO will, as it ought to, keep asking for donations from individuals in the area.

But if this is any indication of the next six months of fundraising, somebody better sketch out some very realistic alternatives.

Here are some suggestions: Reduce the concert schedule.

Don’t pay to play. Why is the SSO paying to rent spaces in which to play?

Are the donations being mapped as they come in? Are entire geographic areas served by the SSO not stepping up to the plate? The solution seems easy here – stop serving those areas, at least until the tides turn.

Raise membership and ticket prices slightly. It doesn’t have to be outrageous, but these are costs that a population in the community are already willing to pay.

The SSO employs 80 musicians. If they lose their jobs, it’s unlikely they’ll stay in this community – they’ll take their skills where they are needed, not adjust their skill set to the local economy. Maybe 80 families up and leaving Onondaga County won’t make or break us, but adopting an attitude that a handful of people steadily leaving the area is a dangerous road to head down.

The most impressive speaker in the room Since we have Say Yes to Education to offer up on a platter to whomever takes over as superintendent of the Syracuse City School District, it should be no surprise that both finalists for the job tout impressive resumes, including extensive work in urban districts.

I watched both candidates (who were introduced to the public last week) deliver 30-minute speeches to, then interact with, crowds of about 150 parents, community leaders, district employees and students. It would be fair to say that Say Yes and the outside consultation firm Cascade Consulting, which conducted the superintendent search, did their homework. Both candidates were well-spoken, well-read, very bright, realistic and optimistic.

But of all the people I spoke and listened to last week, superintendent candidates included, I was most impressed by Quanasia Eiland, the Corcoran junior I chatted with briefly after Sharon Contreras’ address.

Myself an eternal optimist, I was shocked to see middle- or high-school aged students at the receptions. Elementary school-aged kids can’t do anything but be dragged to gatherings by their parents, but I know bet-

ter about the pre-teen and teenaged set. The fact that there were students listening attentively to the two candiFrom the dates was a pleasant surprise, especially considering of the entire student body of 20,000 students, the turnout of parents was paltry.

Still, when I sat down to talk with Quanasia, I was blown away. She said she’d attended the receptions both Tuesday and Wednesday nights with her grandfather.

After Tuesday’s reception, she discussed Bernard Taylor Jr., the other candidate for the top district spot, with her grandfather.

She planned to do the same after Wednesday’s event.

Had her grandfather required that she come listen to the candidates? No, she said, she was interested in hearing what they had to say and it was something that she often talks about with her grandfather.

She felt Contreras’ talk offered specific examples of what could be improved in the Syracuse district, and how she’d accomplished her goals at other districts. Quanasia saw that as a sign that she was “serious” about her intentions and that she had the plans to back up what she said she would do here.

Taylor, on the other hand, was all talk,

Olson

editor

Quanasia felt. Sure, he made the crowd chuckle, but that isn’t what Syracuse needs, she said.

What does it need? Teachers that keep students’ interest, Quanasia said. For the community to support the district consistently, not just on special occasions. And for all schools in the district to enforce the same policies when students leave school early or are absent.

When the superintendent candidates stepped up to the podium, I didn’t expect either of them to offer specific, step-by-step instructions for how to get Syracuse city schools back on track. The whole thing struck me as a little too similar to a campaign race to expect hard facts and plans.

Of course, when I sat down to talk to Quanasia, I didn’t know what to expect, either. What I got was a reminder of how important it is to select the next leader of our school district wisely. The children in those schools are not just walking numbers and test scores. And they are aware of far more than we give them credit for. Maybe we should ask for their input, too.

Ask not what your city can do for you, but where’s that plow?

Monday morning, the snow created a drift merging my car with the road below and it was just what the Weather Channel and others stated when they talked about the potential of up to a foot of snow falling in Syracuse by Monday morning.

A neighbor who happens to live at the corner attempted to navigate the full block, complete with snow drifts, instead of backing up the 10 feet that would have placed her at the corner with full access to a main street. So, she drove and shoveled almost an entire block until the City of Syracuse plow came. With a tiny car now stranded in front of my house, visions of being stuck in the snow were dancing in my head.

Resigned to being a shut-in for the day, I returned a few minutes later to the front door and found not only the city of Syracuse plow still in the street, but the plow driver attempting to assist the woman

Ken

who’d made a decision that clogged the entire street.

He could have left the Jackson street blocked, called a tow truck and went on his way.

Not this driver.

Instead of leaving the job half-done, (which he had every right to do), he quickly got out of his truck, grabbed the shovel and assisted the women until she was able to drive herself out. This action only took a couple of minutes but it’s these little things that public employees do that aren’t in the job description.

I’ve seen police officers help people in broken-down trucks that TV’s “junkster” Fred Sanford would have left on the lot.

We’ve all witnessed Department of Public Works staffers picking up trash that an irresponsible person left in a public area.

And people fed up with taxes want to cut even further, while expecting the same level

Urban

CNY

of service the city enjoyed when we were flush with cash. To destroy a paraphrase, “ask not what your city can do for you, but where’s that plow?”

Police, Fire and Public Works: these are just some of the departments that take the worst personnel hits while they engage in activities we don’t see but for a few seconds as we whiz by.

When public employee pensions, city services and general operating costs increase annually, prudent leaders strive to keep taxes low. Then we get hammered with snow like we did last Sunday evening into Monday, and city residents are feeling the impact of reduced overtime, increased costs and typical Syracuse weather meeting in a perfect storm.

I’m going to pull the parsnips that I planted a year ago in my urban vegetable garden. They’ll be nice and sweet now. I’ll roast them tossed with garlic and rosemary that I still have from last fall’s harvest.

Community meets, reacts to superintendent candidates

By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com

In two separate receptions, the Syracuse community was introduced this week to the two finalists for the top spot at the Syracuse City School District.

The first candidate for the superintendent position, Bernard Taylor Jr., met with the community Tuesday March 1. Taylor is the current

superintendent for the Grand Rapids public school system in Michigan, a district with about 19,000 students, 52 percent of whom graduate each year, and an annual operating budget of $210 million.

He has served as superintendent at Grand Rapids for five years. Prior to that position, Taylor held superintendent positions at Kansas City School District in Missouri and teaching and administrative positions in the Pittsburgh pub-

lic school system.

The second candidate, introduced Wednesday March 2, was Sharon Contreras, the chief academic officer of Providence Public Schools in Rhode Island.

The Providence district student body is about 23,500, the graduation rate is 68 percent and it’s annual operating budget is more than $395 million.

By comparison, the Syracuse City School District maintains a student population of about 20,000, an annual operating budget of $354 million, and a graduation rate of around 50 percent.

After attending both receptions, Freddie and Lisa Wade were impressed with both candidates but felt Contreras offered more specific plans for Syracuse’s future. “They were two very good candidates,� said Freddie Wade, a technology teacher at Clary Middle School. “But there was more meat to what she [Contreras] said.�

Both Freddie and Lisa work for the district and their son is a seventh-grader at Roberts K-8. “His [Taylor’s] love for the students was clear,� said Lisa Wade. She works in the central administrative offices for the SCSD. “He understands the value Say Yes has in the community,� she added.

As for Contreras’ emphasis on community involvement, “that’s key,� the Wades agreed.

Quanasia Eiland, a junior at Corcoran High School, also appreciated Contreras’ focus on the community’s responsibility to nurture students.

She said she preferred Contreras over Taylor. “He was all about games to me,� she said. “She’s more serious about what she’s going to do.�

While the superintendent will not be chosen by popular vote -- the decision is up to the board of education -- public opinion seemed to be leaning toward Contreras Wednesday night.

Her speech did not receive as many chuckles as Taylor’s passionate but humorous address,

HERM CARD

Finalists for the superintendent position of Syracuse City Schools, Sharon Contreras, top, and Bernard Taylor Jr. spoke to and met with community members last week at public receptions. but about 20 members of the crowd responded to Contreras with a standing ovation.

Community group Alliance Network announced on Saturday its endorsement for Contreras. Walt Dixie, a local community leader and executive director of Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, made the announcement.

According to 24 Hour News 8, a TV news channel in Michigan, the Syracuse board of education expects to make a decision within two weeks.

The Syracuse City School District Board of Education’s next meeting at press time was 5:30 p.m. Wednesday March 9. Check theeaglecny.com to see if the board selected a candidate to fill the superintendent position.

Downtown After Dark

THE

Down but not out, St. Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parade marches on As the recession worsens, everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurtin.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Even Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-running St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parade is scraping for cash. The annual event, which will draw thousands of revelers downtown at noon Saturday March 12, costs up to $35,000.

A few local taverns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as Kitty Hoyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Pub and Restaurant and Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Authentic Irish Pub in Tipp Hill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coordinated fundraisers for the parade, and Guinness beer distributor T.J. Sheehan donated $5,000 this year. But as of last weekend, organizers had raised just $25,000, leaving an estimated $10,000 shortfall.

Nevertheless, the parade marches on.

The theme of the 29th annual procession is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blessings of Irish Wit and Wisdom.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of the parade,â&#x20AC;? says its president, Janet Higgins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is to pay homage to our community and celebrate the culture and traditions of the Irish.â&#x20AC;?

Capt. Walsh is grand marshal

Syracuse Police Capt. Richard Patrick Walsh has been chosen as grand marshal of the 2011 parade. As a bagpiper in the Syracuse Kiltie Pipe Band, Walsh has participated in every St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parade here since its inception in 1983.

He has worked with the police department for

Russ

Tarby

four decades.

Coincidentally, on parade day Walsh will retire as the SPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captain of detectives, a position he has filled for the past 23 years.

Bugles and banjos

The parade has traditionally presented some 150 units including gaily-bedecked, banjoplaying Philadelphia Mummers, the Syracuse Brigadiers Drum and Bugle Corps, and balloon characters including the Geico gecko and the Limp Lizard. In 2007, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trailblazersâ&#x20AC;? float by the CNY Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, depicted the Tipperary Hill stone-throwers who convinced the powers-that-be to install a green-over-red traffic light in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish West End neighborhood.

The parade committee is also conducting its sixth annual Hunger Project food drive collecting non-perishable food items for the Food Bank of CNY and the Interreligious Food Consortium. Barrels for donations will be placed throughout downtown Syracuse on parade day.

Hooley moves to Fairmount

Since 1976, Hotel Syracuse has hosted a St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day hooley. Since 1983, when Nancy Duffy established the parade, the hotel aug-

Grand marshal of the 2011 Syracuse St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Parade is Syracuse Police Capt. Richard Walsh. Despite budget shortfalls, the 29th annual parade will draw thousands to downtown Syracuse at noon Saturday, March 12. mented that event with music, food and dancing in the Persian Terrance and Imperial Ballroom, and it continued the tradition even after the hotel officially closed in 2004. But this Saturday, the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors will be closed.

So the Flyinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Column â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the venerable Syracuse band that entertained for 34 years straight at the hotel hooley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will appear instead at Asilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub, 220 Chapel Drive in Fairmount. Admission is free; 488-4680. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing a party on parade day for so long now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hate to call a halt to the hooley,â&#x20AC;? said the Columnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banjo man, Don Meixner.

Also performing at Asilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 3 to 7 p.m.

Saturday will be the Tom Dooley Choraliers, who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen on a recent Dunk & Bright TV commercial.

SSO still struggling

Another victim of the ongoing economic crisis is the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.

Last week, SSO executives announced that the orchestra fell $145,000 short of its March 4 fundraising goal. Nevertheless, its classics series continued that night and March 5, and a pops concert is scheduled for March 11 And 12.

The orchestra must raise $1.75 million by Aug. 1. The SSO operates on an annual budget of $7 million which supports a staff of 63 musicians, 14 contract musicians, 13 full-time

employees and seven part-timers.

On Jan. 25, in the midst of its 34-week golden anniversary season, SSO management found itself on the brink of a shutdown due to low ticket sales and depleted corporate and government funding. Since then, nearly 2,000 people, 38 corporate sponsors and 11 fund-raisers responded to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep the Music Playingâ&#x20AC;? campaign by donating more than $675,000.

Many of those donors are first-time contributors, said SSO Interim Executive Director Paul Brooks.

Meanwhile, SSO musicians have returned more than $700,000 in salaries and benefits to the organization and have proposed a two-year wage freeze.

In phase two of the KTMP campaign, the SSO has set monthly goals of $400,000 in both April and May, money which will go toward the overall $1.75 million goal. Once those two monthly goals are reached, the SSO will need an additional $130,000 to complete the campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please continue to give generously to preserve the SSO as the cultural cornerstone of our arts community,â&#x20AC;? implored orchestra board Chairman Rocco Mangano. To donate, call 4248222 or visit syracusesymphony.org.

Moldenhauer has a special appreciation for Central New York because the natural materials she needs for her art are so accessible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist getting my hands into a pile of warm fiber and creating something beautiful out of it. The wool is my partner as I work; it seems to communicate with me as we both open ourselves to the creative process,â&#x20AC;? Moldenhauer said.

Esterleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art is also a part of the exhibit.

Her praised fiber art isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the focus for this exhibit. She unexpectedly ended up in a collage making classâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her new addiction.

Her collages are visual interpretations of the words of ancient Persian philosopher

and poet, Rumi. They consist of vintage papers, plaster and mixed media.

The last exhibitor is Lynette Blake, who uses a technique called layering. Her piece will begin with a detailed drawing. She then starts to dissolve the drawing gradually by using thin paint and glaze.

She increases the vibrancy of color to create a transparency and infusion of light.

Then paint is thrown on the painting to add texture and give a sense of spontaneity.

A reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m.

Friday March 11 and will run through April 3.

Szozda Gallery is located at 501 West Fayette St., in the former Delavan Gallery space. Off street parking is available and admission are free.

Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. For more information call 579-2805 or visit szozdagallery.com.

Jasper Makai?

‘Oh God, not another rapper’

By Gina Colonette

From 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Jasper Makai is a 26-year-old janitor, cleaning dorms at Le Moyne College while his wife, Kim Middleton, 23, works the circulation desk at the Galleries.

If the young couple seems ordinary, they are anything but: Jasper and Kim started their own music and fashion business right here in their hometown of Syracuse.

At night the two turn their tiny downtown apartment into a factory and studio. Jasper is a rapper and a designer; Kim calls herself the “manager.”

On a Wednesday night you can find Jasper at Funk ‘n Waffles open mic night with his thick black framed glasses and black ostrich leather knapsack, which he designed. Kim is right by his side.

He’s following his dreams and they involve much more than just him.

The music game

Darryl Middleton. That’s what his mom, Denise Brown, calls him. She has influenced his music since he was a child.

When Denise was saved in the church a new rule was put in place for the Middleton family: No hardcore rap allowed in this house.

Jasper said he found this confusing, since he had already recorded his first rap CD at nine.

But he found a way around it, combining Christian and rap music.

By the time Jasper turned 16 he had changed his topic of interest from hardcore rap to something that required deep thought.

He wanted to be “the WEB DuBois of rap,” he said.

This is the kind of music Denise can and does support.

“He sees the difference now that you can still rap, but your language and your lyrics are different,” she said. “It’s uplifting, it’s not degrading.”

Jasper encourages kids to follow their dreams and find themselves, just like he is working to do.

The message is particularly strong in his song “Un Main L’ava”: “They say the sky is the limit, I say, why limit yourself?”

Jasper admits, people don’t always get his message, but there always is one.

He seeks to bring out the reality and positivity in rap. He works on his projects to show people he is doing something different.

“If you have all of this hardcore rap, where is the reality?” Jasper said. “You have to have something that people can understand and relate to.”

Not your average ‘Yard Sale’

Like his music, Jasper’s designs go beyond the usual.

Far from what one would find at a typical yard sale, his fashion line “A Yard Sale,” offers luxury goods and accessories. Two years after the first sketch was drawn, Jasper’s line includes T-shirts, knapsacks, coin purses, card wallets and small purses.

The designs aren’t made in a factory. Kim sews them at home by hand and with a sewing machine. She does it because she said she is his greatest supporter.

“It seems like everything he has set out to do he’s able to do,” Kim said. “If he tells me that he wants to go fly to the moon, we’re going to the moon.”

Sewing for “A Yard Sale” didn’t come easy for Kim. She learned the craft through trial and error, until the quality of her work matched the philosophy of the line.

Kim and Jasper work on “A Yard Sale” at night. A single knapsack can take up to four hours to sew.

“I like it when we work together, I don’t like to sew alone,” Kim said. “He keeps my energy up and I can keep going.”

Designing and sewing isn’t easy and it certainly isn’t cheap. Each of Jasper’s knapsacks requires two yards of ostrich, which cost about $50 each.

Jasper Makai performs at Funk n’ Waffles open mic, above. His album, “The Art Gallery,” was released digitally Feb. 22. Jasper hopes his ostrich knapsack, below, will soon be for sale in downtown stores.

MAREN GUSE

Jasper’s friend Seve Robinson, 22, Fashion Institute of Technology student, is helping him get his designs into FIT’s Style Shop.

“He’s so driven to get his product out there,” Seve said. “If I can help him spread his message and what he’s trying to do, I can also spread what I believe in as well.”

Jasper is working on releasing two collections this year: a denim collection, “Malachi Denim,” and an ostrich leather collection, “Black Tie,” based on the “classic elegance” of the 1950s and 60s.

Jasper and Kim are both Syracuse natives and were raised in the same church district.

When they met, she didn’t know anything about his musical endeavors -- she was a bit skeptical.

“When he told me I was like “Oh God not another rapper,” Kim said. “But then I heard his music and I loved it.”

The pair maintained a long-distance relationship when Jasper moved to Baltimore in 2005 for personal reasons. When he returned two years later, he knew he wanted to change the music scene.

“I had a real goal, this is what I want to do,” Jasper said. “The music I wanted to make was very clear.”

He wanted to uplift his hometown, not put it down. He stays in Syracuse, he said, because there are a lot of people here doing the same thing as him in terms of music, art and fashion. He wants artists and designers in Syracuse to be able to work together, network and help each other out. Another reason he stays is because most of his family is here.

The Struggle

Kim said she supports the Christian aspect of his music and because it keeps Jasper humble and talking about what he’s really been through.

And they’ve both been through a lot.

In August 2009, the couple’s son, Shaun Malachi Middleton, passed away at just four months old.

Dealing with the death of Shaun brought Jasper close to quitting. He was grieving, his computer and car died, he was looking for fulltime work, Kim lost her job and they are still trying to have another baby.

Denise comes from a family of 10 brothers and sisters but this was the first time they had lost someone in the immediate family—it affected everyone—and everyone grieved differently. She’s a “doer,” she said, she stays busy—but Jasper, he may not do.

“I think that was the biggest thing— learning each other’s way of grieving,” Denise said.

Kim got him motivated. They began working on his projects more and Denise gave him consistent encouragement. With the support of his family he couldn’t stay away for too long. He finally released his CD, “The Art Gallery,” online Feb. 22, and is continuing to move forward with his fashion projects.

“If you can go through something that tragic and you can triumph-- you can do anything,” Jasper said.

Good Sports Henninger claims AA championship in OT battle

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com

Erik Saroney’s theory of how the Henninger boys basketball team he coaches pulled off its 73-69 overtime victory over Utica Proctor to earn the Section III Class AA championship was quite simple.

Two previous times this season, the Black Knights had lost to the Raiders. Saroney said the Dec. 23 defeat was a direct result of a young squad still finding its way, while the Jan. 21 setback at Proctor (a 66-48 loss) was just an out-of-character bad performance.

On this night, said Saroney, “they got Henninger.”

Indeed they did. In front of a large, pro-Proctor crowd at Utica Memorial Auditorium, Henninger somehow survived three starters fouling out and won its first sectional title since 2008 by getting an unexpected boost from reserve Terrell Nelson, who led the Black Knights with 19 points, most of them in the late stages.

It wasn’t locked up until another reserve, Charles Manning, sank a free throw with 5.1 seconds left to increase Henninger’s 72-69 margin by one, finally putting it out of the top-seeded Raiders’ reach.

The foul line told a large part of this story. Henninger, not known for good work at the line, went 10-for-12 in the fourth quarter and OT and, overall, went 26-for-33 from the line.

“We had to believe we could do it (at the line), and we did,” said Saroney.

Meanwhile, Proctor also took 33 foul shots, but only made 17 – no misses bigger than Maurice Mills’ pair of misses with 21.5 seconds left in the extra period and Proctor down by two.

All this was part of a frantic, energetic and emotional game where Henninger, despite all of its foul woes, closed the first half strong and led 35-27 at the break, only to have Proctor catch up in the third quarter, Keenan Brown’s 3-pointer tying it 44-44 with one quarter left.

Again, the Black Knights led most of the final period.

Again, the Raiders rallied, getting a pair of clutch 3-pointers from Jayson Jackson, the latter coming with a minute left to put Proctor ahead 60-59, to the deafening roar of the home fans.

While all this was going on, Nelson, who never played

varsity basketball until his senior season, was notching 10 points in the fourth quarter, everything from a 3-pointer to a rebound basket that, with 32 seconds to play, put Henninger back in front 61-60.

Fouled with 15.9 seconds left in regulation, Walkery Mills missed the first free throw, but made the second to tie it 61-61. The Black Knights had the last shot, and Nelson took it from 25 feet out – but it caromed off the rim. So it went to overtime, just like the 2009 final where Henninger, led by the late Kihary Blue, lost to CBA. Two starters, Marquies Young and Kavon Delee, had fouled out, so it wasn’t surprising that Proctor took leads of 67-63 and 69-67 in the OT. Still, Henninger fought back and held the Raiders without a field goal in the last 2:45 of the game.

Markell Stith, before he fouled out, made the go-ahead free throws with 27.4 seconds left, breaking a 69-69 tie, and Tommie Gainey made it 72-69 with 10.5 seconds left before Manning finally put it away.

Tevin Chisholm, the point guard who chose to wear no. 4 in Blue’s honor, had 18 points, six of them in the overtime, while Delee had 12 points and Stith got eight points.

Henninger had to pass quite a test just to get back to the final, surviving a dramatic Class AA semifinal last Tuesday at LeMoyne College to knock out no. 2 seed and defending champion Cicero-North Syracuse 60-56.

With a size advantage across the board, Henninger quickly went out in front and, all game long, used its active match-up zone to bottle up CNS star Zach Coleman, holding him to just 11 points.

Steadily, the Black Knights’ lead grew, from 31-24 at halftime until it had a double-digit edge, 40-30, late in the third quarter. Then the lead vanished as the Northstars closed the period on a 12-0 run, suddenly moving ahead 42-40.

Just as quickly, Henninger opened the fourth quarter with a 12-0 spurt of its own, highlighted by Young’s dunk and consecutive 3-pointers from Kavon Delee.

Again, though, just as the Black Knights looked safe CNS fought back, the margin cut in half before a free throw, steal and basket from Josh Williams with 23.2 seconds left made it 58-56. Worse yet, Henninger missed the front end of a one-and-one, giving the Northstars a chance to tie or go in front.

CNS threw away that opportunity, though, turning it over for the 19th time with 10.1 seconds to play. Moments later, Tommie Spinner was fouled and, foreshadowing what would happen four nights later in Utica, he made both free throws to seal Henninger’s trip to the finals.

Overall, Spinner had 14 points, just behind Delee (18 points) and Young (15 points) as they accounted for most of Henninger’s offense. For CNS, Elliott Boyce led with 18 points, most of it from four 3-pointers, as Riley Moonan added 13 points and Dave Jackowski 12 points.

Ironically enough, by winning the sectional title Henninger will play at CNS’s gymnasium Saturday in the Class AA regional final against the Section II champions.

The winner gets a trip to Glens Falls for next weekend’s state final four, where the Black Knights won it all in 2002.

SAS, ITC earn historic sectional titles

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com

Five short years ago, Syracuse Academy of Science was just opening, and Institute of Technology Central was still in the planning stages, a year from opening its doors.

Now these schools are the proud owners of Section III boys basketball championships after last Saturday’s Class C finals at Utica Memorial Auditorium.

First, it was SAS claiming the Class C-2 title, holding off Onondaga 51-48 as the Atoms rallied in the fourth quarter and got two clutch free throws from Dakeem McLain with 5.7 seconds left to help put the Tigers away.

Then ITC, 4-14 a year ago, completed a remarkable one-year turnaround when it toppled top seed Cooperstown 69-52, the Eagles pushed there by the combined efforts of guard Jahcin Ingram and forward Jebron Thomas.

Having lost last year’s Class D final to New York Mills, SAS was a bit more used to this stage. Still, it had to break from its usual fast tempo to avenge a Jan. 14 defeat to Onondaga, who rode a 12-game win streak into the finals.

The Atoms trailed through much of the game, yet never let OCS get clear, thanks to the work of 6-7 forward Ahmet Tunali, who made 10 of the 11 shots he attempted and finished with 21 points to snag tournament MVP honors.

With the score tied at 47-47, Kaleel Johnson’s steal and lay-up pushed SAS ahead by two with 1:40 left. Taylor Bassett’s free throw with 45.2 seconds cut the margin to one, but the Tigers entered the closing moments with just three team fouls.

Thus, OCS had to use up precious seconds accumulating four fouls to send the Atoms to the line. Finally, McLain got his one-and-one chance and, after the Tigers took time-out to try and freeze him, calmly made both shots to stretch the margin to three. When Ryan Gavin’s 3-point attempt to tie it went off the rim as the buzzer sounded, SAS had a sectional title.

ITC’s chances to join the Atoms with a sectional banner got a boost before tip-off when Cooperstown forward Michael Moakler, who had 24 points in a semifinal win over Watertown IHC, could not play due to a knee injury suffered late in that game.

Still, the Redskins hung close, even after the Eagles seized the lead for good midway through the first half, boosted by Ingram’s 13 points. That pattern lingered through the third quarter, as ITC could not get clear and Harrison Clinton’s 3-pointer at the end of the period cut the Eagles’ lead to 44-41 with one quarter left.

Just then, the Eagles, showing tremendous poise and confidence in its first-ever finals appearance, increased full-court pressure, which forced Cooperstown into all kinds of turnovers in the fourth quarter. ITC closed strong with a 25-11 run to reach championship glory.

Running the show from the point, Ingram, an obvious choice for C-1 tournament MVP, finished with 23 points, adding eight rebounds and eight steals.

Inside, Thomas flourished as he amassed 18 points and 17 rebounds.

SAS and ITC reached their respective title games in dramatically different ways last Wednesday night. The Atoms, pulled away from Beaver River

Good Sports Texas standoff

Crunch split over the weekend in Lone Star State

By Russ Tarby Fueled by hot Texas chili and spicy quesadillas, the Syracuse Crunch pulled itself out of last place in the American Hockey League’s Eastern Division with a Saturday night road win in San Antonio following a Friday loss to the Houston Aeros.

The Crunch took an early one-goal lead Friday March 4 at Houston’s Toyota Center, after Josh Green tipped in a power-play marker at 2:45 of the first period. Syracuse allowed the Aeros back into the game following Crunch penalties which gave Houston 5-on-4 and a 5-on-3 advantages. The Aeros scored one goal in each period to win the game 3-1.

On Saturday against the San Antonio Rampage at the AT&T Center, Crunch netminder Ray Emery, an NHL veteran, turned in a sparkling 40-save performance after being assigned by Anaheim earlier in the day in a transaction that sent 24-year-old goalie J.P. Levassuer to California.

Syracuse got goals from four different players en route to a 4-1 win which mercifully snapped the team’s four-game winless streak and five-game road winless skid.

Scoring for Syracuse Saturday were forwards John Mitchell, John Kurtz, Maxime Macenaur and newly acquired forward Brian McGrattan, a 29-year-old veteran of 182 career NHL games with Ottawa, Phoenix and Calgary.

The Anaheim Ducks acquired McGrattan and defenseman Sean Zimmerman Feb. 28 from Boston in exchange for center Stefan Chaput and right wing David Laliberte. Both McGrattan and Zimmerman have been assigned to the Crunch.

At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, McGrattan is expected to knock heads rather than score goals. He should soon take over as the team’s enforcer now that Jon “Nasty” Mirasty has been banished to Fort Wayne of the Central Hockey League.

McGrattan led the AHL in penalty minutes in 2004-05 with 551 in 71 contests with Binghamton. In 236 career AHL games, McGrattan has scored 30 goals and made 23 assists while logging 1,150 minutes in the sin bin.

Former Crunch tough guy Brandon Sugden, who battled McGrattan several times here, called him “the toughest guy in the league.”

On Friday and Saturday, however, McGrat-

tan left the fisticuffs to teammates Leigh Salters, Patrick Maroon and John Kurtz who drew fighting penalties. McGrattan took two minutes for roughing in San Antonio Saturday.

That same night the Crunch penalty-kill stopped the Rampage five times in five tries, Emery made several clutch saves down the stretch and Macenauer finished off the game with an empty-netter at the 19:15 mark.

After the team’s visit to the Lone Star State, which concludes March 7 against the Texas Stars in Austin, the Crunch will return to the War Memorial this weekend. Syracuse faces off against those same Texas Stars at 7:30 p.m.

Friday March 11, before taking on the Rochester Amerks at 7:30 p.m. Saturday March 12.

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

City athletes stand out at state tournaments

Henninger High School bowler Bobby Moro nearly had the top individual performance at Sunday’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association tournament at Strike-N-Spare Lanes in Mattydale.

Moro, a member of the Section III All-Star team, finished second in the 60-bowler field with a six-game pinfall of 1,346, a total beaten only by Sachem East’s Jeremy Miltio, as the Long Island native finished at 1,377, 31 pins ahead of Moro.

As the day wore on, Moro only seemed to get better. He went from 198 to 204 and 218 in the morning session, then took off in the afternoon with a 237 and peaked with 265, just one pin off the best individual game total, a 266 by Victor’s Jordan Benzing. Moro finished with a 224.

In the team competition, the Section III group of Moro, Dan Wahl (Fulton), Rich Viti (Utica-Notre Dame), Bob Jones (Whitesboro), Brett Risi (Ilion) and Ben Derrane (New Hartford) to post 6,024, a close second to Section XI (Suffolk County, Long Island), who built a big early lead, then held on to win with 6,099.

Two other state tournaments took place last weekend, with Nottingham athletes each standing out in their own way.

In the state boys swimming championships at Nassau Aquatic Center on Long Island, Kalonji Cole represented the Bulldogs and worked his way to 10th place in the diving competition with 434.10 points. Of Section III divers, only Mexico’s Nick Rodriguez (ninth, 456.35 points) fared better.

Down at Cornell University’s Barton Hall, Nottingham’s Robert Howard had a best throw of 49 feet ½ inch in the shot put, settling into 10th place in a 28-man field. Chukwuebuk Enekwechi (Francis Lewis) won with a toss of 62 feet 4 ½ inches.

Sectional titles

From page 15

70-45 at Sandy Creek in its semifinal, while at Onondaga Community College the Eagles held off defending sectional champion Tully 55-54 in a C-1 semifinal game not decided until the final possession.

Leading by one, ITC saw Ingram miss the front end of a one-and-one free-throw attempt with 10.2 seconds left. Tully rebounded and had a chance to win it, but just when it looked like it had an open shot underneath, Ingram raced back to steal the ball, and time ran out.

That it was so close was no surprise, since in their last meeting Jan. 28 Tully prevailed 61-58 when Dan Morse hit a shot near half-court at the buzzer.

Determined to avenge that loss, ITC moved out in front during the second quarter, where a pattern developed. Every time the Eagles tried to get away, the Black Knights would claw back.

This happened three separate times, with ITC nearly throwing away a 41-30 edge in the third quarter and a 54-47 lead with three minutes left, Tully battling back within striking distance despite Ingram getting 19 points and

Clemons adding 13 points.

Ingram’s free throw with 1:14 to play made it 55-50. After Tully cut it to three, Clemons missed his own front end of a one-and-one with 32.5 seconds left, and the Black Knights raced down the court, converting on Tom Twentyman’s basket to slice the margin to one, setting up the last sequence.

None of this took place at Sandy Creek, where SAS put up for a half with Beaver River trying to slow them down in the first half, still seizing a 29-18 lead because its own defense shut down the Beavers for long stretches of time.

Then the Atoms got away, outscoring Beaver River 22-12 in the third quarter to double its margin. Johnson led with 18 points, while DeOndray Tape added 15 points. McLain (12 points) and Tunali (10 points) reached double figures, too.

Three days later, SAS and ITC were on top, bound for a head-to-head meeting Tuesday night at Cicero-North Syracuse to see who would take the overall sectional title and advance to face Section IV champion Moravia in Saturday’s regional final.

Mahoney addresses consolidation, green initiatives and long-term spending reform In delivering her 2011 State of the County address Tuesday March 1, Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney proclaimed, “we are coming out of this recession stronger than we went in.”

Mahoney cited a list of consolidation efforts among county, city, village and town governments, including a shared municipal purchasing department that 23 municipalities are interested in joining.

From the stage at West Genesee High School in Camillus, Mahoney commended the West Genesee Central School District employees for their cooperation in voluntarily accepting a pay freeze to avoid teacher layoffs.

She also pointed to the towns of Geddes, Salina and Skaneateles, as well as the village of Elbridge, for their efforts to reduce govern-

Help Wanted

ment by eliminating redundancies.

Mahoney credited the revised sales tax sharing agreement, unanimously adopted by the County Legislature in 2010, for pushing municipalities to look for modern, streamlined ways of functioning with smaller budgets.

“This is exactly what we hoped the new sales tax agreement would accomplish,” Mahoney said.

Mahoney also announced the county will enter into negotiations with SUNY Upstate to take over Van Duyn Home and Hospital.

The county-owned nursing facility has consistently lost millions of dollars annually and has become a drain on the county’s finances.

Finding a way to provide quality care for elderly residents will become even more critical in the next few years, Mahoney said.

“Between now and 2015, we will have an increase of over 65 percent in the number of county residents age 85 and older,” Mahoney said.

“This is exactly what we hoped the new sales tax agreement would accomplish.”

- Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney

The County Executive also announced Save the Rain’s “Project 50,” an initiative to implement 50 distinct public works projects to harvest rainwater and send it back into the ground, not the sewer system. A green roof installed on the War Memorial will harvest rainfall which will be used to make ice for the Syracuse Crunch home rink.

“The Green solutions will take hard work and patience,” Mahoney said. “We won’t get

the instant gratification but the end result will be infinitely better.”

Like City of Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner’s State of the City address in February, Mahoney’s address focused heavily on the responsibility of New York State government to reduce the cost of mandated programs.

“County property tax dollars are not funding county programs, they are funding state programs,” Mahoney said.

The county will pass more than $160 million, raised by taxes, onto the state to pay for mandated programs, she added.

Short-term fixes for one budget cycle or term are not going to solve the problem, Mahoney said.

Among the long-term solutions Mahoney supports is multi-year budgeting cycle.

“Legislator John Dougherty has called for multi-year budgeting, and I support him wholeheartedly,” Mahoney said. “When my team presents the budget later this year, we will do so with a look toward the future.”
