STARTING POINT I’m glad to see the Connective Corridor back in the news.

The Connective Corridor, powered by Centro buses, announced last week that construction on the project was nearly complete, and a request for proposals was recently issued, with a budget of $650,000 dollars, for the public art portion of the corridor.

The most important thing to accomplish with this project is to unite our city by connecting all major resources (downtown merchants, hotels, parking, hospitals, university and Convention Center complex) with a well-designed public transportation route. Such a system will allow community resources to be within three or four blocks of Connective Corridor stops.

(I laid out this idea specifically in a Jan. 8, 2014, editorial.)

In Syracuse we have a city that is large enough to have desirable destinations and small enough that with an effective transportation system all those amenities can easily and safely be reached by a visitor staying downtown or a suburbanite coming into the city.

Especially with the discussions around the redesign of Route 81, the Connective Corridor has a chance to play a critical role in bringing together all that is great about our city, and help to knock down the barriers that have been erected over the years that have segregated our neighborhoods and commerce centers.

Don’t miss your chance to help shape these outcomes. Starting on Friday, Feb. 13, the Connective Corridor has agreed to provide a weekly blog at SyracuseNewTimes. com that will describe the public art process along the corridor as it unfolds.

You are encouraged to read the weekly blog, participate in the discussion and give your feedback.

Slightest Provocation: Police arrested Alyssa Ferraro, 21, for assaulting her boyfriend in Hooksett, N.H., during an arTAKE gument over a game of Monopoly. (New Hampshire Union Leader)

Curses, Foiled Again

A masked man tried to rob a convenience store in New Haven, Conn., by pointing a finger at the clerk to “simulate” that he had a gun, police Officer David Hartman reported, noting, “But he didn’t have his hand in his pocket.” The clerk “grabbed the man’s finger and told him he’d break it if he didn’t get out of his shop,” Hartman said after the would-be robber fled. (New Haven Independent)

Leapin’ Lizards

Pass the Peas

Workers at a reptile pet shop in Delray Beach, Fla., accused owner Benjamin Siegel, 40, of slapping them with a bearded dragon lizard. The victims said Siegel placed the lizard in his mouth and began hitting them with it. He also threw Gatorade at them, and tossed the large lizard into the air and swung it around. Siegel was arrested on battery and animal cruelty charges. (Broward-Palm Beach New Times)

An Alabama middle school principal asked students to bring canned food to school to throw at possible intruders. In a letter to parents, Priscilla Holley of W.F. Burns Middle School in Valley said an 8-ounce can of peas or corn “could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive. The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves.” (Associated Press)

Fruits of Their Labors

Oklahoma lawmakers are at odds over the state’s produce. Sen. Nathan Dahm introduced a measure to repeal watermelon’s title as Oklahoma’s official vegetable, an honor lawmakers bestowed in 2007. Dahm pointed out watermelon is a fruit, not a vegetable, but the state fruit title isn’t available because it was awarded to the strawberry. Dahm said watermelon could be named the state’s seasonal fruit or the state’s melon, but Rep. Scooter Park denounced such a move, declaring,

“START EVERY DAY OFF WITH A SMILE AND GET IT OVER WITH.” — W.C. Fields

“We will defend, support and make sure it is upheld as the state vegetable for Oklahoma.” (Tulsa World)

Slippery Slopes

China earmarked nearly $90 million to divert water to make snow in Chongli, a provincial town in an arid region on the edge of the Gobi Desert, in an effort to win its bid for the 2022 winter Olympics. As a result of the government’s recent emphasis on winter sports, the number of skiers in China has risen from 10,000 in 1996 to 20 million, according to the Chinese Ski Association. High water demand for snowmaking by existing ski facilities around Beijing has led to a government crackdown on new golf courses. (The Economist)

Can We All Get Along?

Charges of racism were directed at a clothing store that posted a sign banning Chinese customers. The store is located in Beijing. “We didn’t want to hang up the sign in the first place and lead people to think we Chinese look down upon ourselves,” a salesperson at the store on Yabao Road said. “But some Chinese customers are too annoying.” The store sells chiefly to foreigners. (South China Morning Post)

IN OTHER CRAZINESS: “Scientists have discovered that a 5,000-year-old mummy is covered with at least 60

tattoos. Scientists are calling him the earliest known member of the NBA.” — Conan O’Brien “Brian Williams of NBC News has admitted he embellished a story about being in a helicopter that was shot at in Iraq. Williams says the helicopter part was true, but it was a coin-operated helicopter outside of a Chuck E. Cheese. It was in a bad part of Connecticut.” — Conan O’Brien “The world’s oldest man turned 112. I’ll tell you something — at 112 years old, even that guy could have carried the ball and scored for the Seahawks.” — David Letterman

LEAD RECKONING

Former police officer Darrell Smith, 58, accidentally shot off his finger with a .380 caliber handgun at a gun store in Glasgow, Ky. He had asked to see the weapon and was examining it when it fired.

Even though Smith didn’t do a safety check on the gun before handling it, he insisted the employee who handed it to him should have, so he’s suing Barren Outdoors for negligence.

Snow really is beautiful ...until there is a foot of it on your car.

SANITY FAIR

By Ed Griffin-Nolan

“This reduction in price for fuel results in additional dollars in the pockets of our convenience store customers. And we have good opportunities for them to go ahead and spend some of that money,” said Bob Owens, CEO of Sunoco on a conference call last week, no doubt referring to growlers.

QUICK TAKE

Jamesville resident and Sunoco “Beer Ambassador” Julio Ortiz fills a growler with Great Lakes Brewing Co. Burning River Pale Ale. Ty Marshal photo

IT’S NOT CHEAP GAS — IT’S FREE BEER

W

hat a great country.

Julio is the “beer ambassador” at the Sunoco station on East Seneca Turnpike. Julio clearly loves his work, and he does more than fill you up; he makes it an experience. He’s got the whole ritual down. He rinses out your growler as he talks you through the different brews Sunoco has on tap. He makes sure to punch your frequent-drinker card and is genuinely happy when you fill up the card and the beer is on him.

This week I got to choose among Blue Moon Belgian White, Magic Hat Single Chair, Arrogant Bastard ale, Saranac Caramel Porter and Angry Orchard hard cider which, IMHO, belongs in the fruit juice aisle. Julio keeps the conversation mellow as he slides one end of a piece of hose onto the tap nozzle and the other into the growler. He opens the tap, lets it flow and knows just when to shut it off (after the foam has spilled over) and how to turn the bottle so it settles down and fills right to the brim. By my lights, Julio is a genius.

Could it be coincidence that the price of gas began to dive just as the popularity of the gas station growler climbed? Draft beer hauled home in a bottle from the gas station is a brilliant invention. Now that gas prices are down, the beer is essentially gratis.

It was just last fall that I could give the cashier a

pair of twenties, and if the car only took $38.50 in gas I’d grab a chocolate milk and we’d call it even.

Now I can smile and say to Julio, “I’ll take my change in IPA.” Since the advent of gas station growlers, I have made it my custom to stop at the APlus maybe once a week, gas up, and peek in and see what Julio has on tap.

The growler goes from $8.99 to $13.99, depending on the brand. Gas has dropped from nearly four bucks to two and a quarter. So let’s do the math. If I put 16 gallons in the tank, I’m saving $28. Filling up once a week, I can get at least two, maybe three growlers for free. We are talking free beer!

Economists are saying that currency traders, Saudi princes, the oil companies and whoever that sweet man was who invented hydrofracking have all

teamed up to lower gas prices. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.

What you have created is nothing short of miraculous. All those other news outlets have missed the real story — it’s not cheap gas, it’s free beer.

Better than manna from heaven. It’s the miracle on Seneca Turnpike. The Sunoco station is the fountain of youth. Julio defies all the laws of physics. He could bring Christopher Hitchens back to earth, suddenly willing to believe in God. For every gallon I pump, I get more free beer.

Clearly I need to get a bigger car.

Then along come the Democrats trying to snatch that craft brew right out of my hand. Talk about arrogant bastards. Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon wants to interrupt my party by adding 15 cents to the federal tax on gas, which has been 18 cents a gallon since Bill Clinton raised it in 1993. (It was also raised by Eisenhower, Reagan and the first George Bush.)

Blumenauer and his crowd of sourpusses keep yakking about crumbling infrastructure and global warming. Whatever. Here at the APlus Sunoco on Seneca Turnpike, Julio keeps everyone happy.

No way am I going to let them tax my free beer away. At fifteen cents a gallon of gas, that would mean that those greedy bureaucrats are taking $2.40 from me each time I fill up. Remember those two free growlers? They add up to a full gallon (128 ounces) of free beer. Before opening the second growler, I did some quick math, and it comes down to this — to fix all those highways, the government wants to take from me what amounts to about 12 ounces of beer. An entire glass of beer each time I fill up.

I’m not buying it. If you thought the Tea Party could put up a fight, you haven’t seen anything yet. The Beer Party is rising.

If you want my free beer, you will have to pry it from my cold dead hand. SNT

QUICK TAKE

By Jeff Kramer

CHAINED TO POST SEASON OR JUST CHAINED?

T

his all began innocently. In response to Syracuse University’s “self-ban” of the men’s basketball team from post-season play, I set out to pen a scholarly essay on the history of self-punishment in Western society. Except guess what popped up when I Googled “self-punishment”? Sex, sex and more sex!

Like any serious academic, I carefully studied the material, and I soon realized that the interminable tango between the controlling NCAA and the cringing university is best understood as a twisted dominant/submissive relationship much like the one portrayed in the popular novel Fifty Shades of Gray.

(The movie opens this weekend, according to Brian Williams.)

That got me working on a very different column.

With a few minor tweaks — noted in italics — I’ve re-written Fifty Shades of Gray into something new and even naughtier: Fifty Shades of Orange.

Warning: The following excerpts are not suitable for mature readers.

“How many other programs have you probed?”

“Hundreds.”

“For long periods of time?”

“Some of them, yes.”

“Have you ever hurt anyone?”

“Yes.” “Badly?”

“SMU got the death penalty.”

“Will you hurt me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Physically, will you hurt me?”

“I will punish you when you require it, and it will be painful.”

I feel faint.

“How many scholarships?” I ask. *** “You mentioned paperwork?” I ask.

“Yes, a contract saying what we will and won’t do.

I need to know your limits and you need to know mine. This is consensual.”

“And if I don’t want to do this?”

“That’s fine.”

“Bernie Fine?”

“No, just fine as in OK,” “But we won’t have any sort of relationship?”

“No.” “Why?” “Yes — the Y.” What about the Y? “What?”

“The Oneida YMCA. Do you have something you want to tell me?”

Holy shot clock! How did he know about that? The NCAA was creepy, but so hot. ***

I’m weary from the Hearing on Infractions and all the television commercial shoots. Plus it’s possible we had a basketball game. I sit on a trainer’s table and gingerly extract the manila envelope from my gym bag. Do I really want to know the extent of the NCAA’s depravity or should I just eat this delicious ham-and-cheese sub from Jreck’s? I feel Gross. *** “Stand up.” His command is soft, full of sensual promise. He doesn’t want Louisville or Duke. He wants me.

Shakily, I get to my feet.

“Look at me,” he says, and I stare into his smoldering gaze. It is his Dom gaze — cold, hard and sexy as hell, seven shades of hypocrisy.

My mouth dries, and I know I will do anything he asks — except Otto.

“No way,” I protest. “I will not sleep with that repulsive orange!” *** I open my eyes. The 9,000-page report is wrapped around me like a victory flag, holding me fast. Its Finding of Violations is slung over me, holding me close, one of its meaty sanctions thrown over and hooked around my Big East Legacy. It’s suffocating me with its governing body heat, and it’s heavy. I take a moment to absorb that it’s still in my bed and — just like text books assigned to Fab Melo — unread. It’s morning in the ACC. Holy shot clock! The report has spent the whole night with me. *** “Perhaps I should be stricter with you.”

He cocks his head to one side and gives me an artful smile.

I swallow. Jeez, no. Yet my Interior Zone Defense melts. This is the NCAA’s way of showing it cares.

“Was it that bad when I spanktioned you the first time?” he asks.

I try to remember. Was 1992 that bad? I remember feeling confused. It hurt, but not that much in retrospect.

“No, not really,” I whisper. “Spanktion me again. Harder.” SNT

Actor Tom Kenny (who voices SpongeBob SquarePants) behind the scenes on The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water.

Cartoon voice Tom Kenny discusses the new SpongeBob movie, memories of East Syracuse and more with entertainment analyst Bill DeLapp During Super Bowl weekend at a press junket in Manhattan for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, the second big-screen incarnation of the popular Nickelodeon TV cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants, voice actor Tom Kenny was in fretting mode.

“It’s always nerve-wracking to wait for a movie to come out,” he admitted during a phone interview. “I like the movie, but are other people going to like it? Are kids going to like it? Are fans of the show going to like it? Are critics going to like it; you guys are a whole different breed. It’s exciting but also worrisome, but I always worry about everything.”

Kenny’s trepidations must have quickly faded during Sponge Out of Water’s opening weekend, Feb. 6 to 8: The denizens of Bikini Bottom topped the box office with more than $55 million.

The sequel almost doubled the first SpongeBob movie’s $32 million opening weekend back in 2004, an indication that the durable 16-year-old TV franchise remains quite spongeworthy among its many fans.

While Sponge Out of Water’s cast includes a nominal live-action superstar played by Antonio Banderas, Kenny’s hyper-kinetic voice is what really drives the cartoon. And it’s a dream Kenny, 52, has pursued since his childhood in East Syracuse, when he and his best pal Bob Goldthwait were cracking each other up during their wonder years. Whereas Goldthwait’s career path went from standup-comedian stardom to critical acclaim as a TV and movie director, Kenny’s onstage comic shtick included so many vocal impersonations (such as an early bit spoofing Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek) that his segue into the voiceover world proved both seamless and inevitable.

Always a cartoon fanatic, Kenny has a special affinity for an02.11.15 - 02.17.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

other seaworthy character: In his high school years he even had a cardboard standee for the 1980 movie Popeye in his bedroom.

He’s passing along that cartoon jones to his 17-year-old son, Mackinley, an aspiring animator; Mack also plays drums for the Studio City, Calif., indie rock band Sandbox Fistfight, which scored a gig last spring at hallowed West Hollywood hotspot Whisky a Go Go. Father and son joined forces last Thanksgiving when they performed a number of jumping tracks with Shakedown Blues Band, featuring Tom’s brother Dan “Bone” Kenny, at Lew’s Sports Bar in North Syracuse. “I think every 17-year-old should listen to Howlin’ Wolf,” proud papa Tom said, “even though he’s named after Muddy Waters.”

Rounding out the Kenny family tree is daughter Nora, 11, who writes songs and plays guitar, while wife Jill Talley (Tom met her on the set of the 1992-’93 Fox TV variety show The Edge) also supplies the voice of Karen the computer on the SpongeBob series.

You went to the first screening a few weeks ago. What’s your verdict?

I really liked it. It’s super-weird like the best kids movies are, whether it’s The Never Ending Story where you just go, “What am I watching?” or The Wizard of Oz with the flying monkeys or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder.

Hopefully we’re not crazy to think we can aspire to that level of oddball WTF-ness.

It’s kinda like if you dropped SpongeBob, Plankton and Patrick into Mad Max, Back to the Future, Guardians of the Galaxy and one of those incomprehensible J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek

movies where you go “What the heck?,” where you have alternate versions of the characters running around and meeting each other. And it’s a riot: The kids were whooping it up at the screening, which also had old people, hipsters and too-coolfor-school teenagers, so hopefully my informal market research will hold true globally. (Laughs) I really enjoyed the 3-D. To me, there’s a visual giddiness at play, where we are freed of the budget constraints of the basic-cable TV series, or even the budget constraints of the first movie from 11 years ago. It’s not just bells and whistles for the sake of bells and whistles. I think director Paul Tibbitt, creator Steve Hillenburg and the writers really figured out a way to make it a big stupid event movie without sacrificing what’s great about the SpongeBob series, which is that you can have an episode where he just learns to tie his shoe for 11 minutes.

And that’s a really hard balancing act to pull off. Because for me the stuff I enjoy most about SpongeBob, the character and the show, is the stuff in between the cracks, the awkward, dumb, quiet moments, so I was glad to see that there was a healthy dose of those moments in the movie. But there is also CGI stuff, 3-D animation, flat 2-D animation like in the cable show, and hand puppets. One of the characters is largely portrayed by a hand puppet, so it’s the oldest of show-biz technology — puppets — with the most up-to-date new-school show-biz technology, so it’s a really fun melange, if I can use that word.

It took about a year to do the 2012 stop-motion animation special It’s a SpongeBob Christmas. How long did it take to do this project?

It’s probably going on two and a half years, maybe even a little longer for the writers’ stuff. For us voice actors, we have not done an episode of SpongeBob in two and a half years. As huge as SpongeBob is, in terms of his ubiquitousness out in the world, it’s still a pretty small amount of people that work on the show. It’s not like there is movie-team SpongeBob and TV series-team SpongeBob, it’s all the same people and all the same actors since the beginning.

We took a break from doing TV episodes and we’ve been doing this movie in much smaller increments. So instead of blowing through 30 pages of script in an The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water movie poster.

hour-long (recording) session, you’ll do one scene and then you’ll come back a week later and someone will say, “we changed a word in that scene, so we’re gonna do it again,” or “Actually, we’re gonna give that half of that line to Sandy (the squirrel character) so we’re going to re-record that.”

So it’s a much longer gestation period, but I think the movie had a pretty short gestation period for the writers and animators, from the point of being green-lit to being in theaters on Feb. 6. I think those guys had to hit the ground running, I think the freight train was bearing down on them from the first second (Kenny makes a “Beep-beep” sound effect), like Dennis Weaver and the truck in the rear-view mirror from (Steven Spielberg’s TV-movie) Duel. They didn’t have the luxury of years of R&D (research and development) in a Pixar movie where it’s like, “We wrote a script for a couple years and then we threw it all out and we started again.” I think those guys did a fantabulous job.

And it has to be an event movie, it has to be in 3-D, it has to be big. Otherwise, why are you making a SpongeBob movie when the last one was 11 years ago?

And that one did quite well financially and critically, but this is definitely a few steps above that, both in terms of budgetary constraints being lifted and also technology being far ahead of where it was 11 years ago, the stuff you can and are able to do.

So I think there’s a joy in the new bag of tricks, the palette of colors so to speak, that the guys could use, and I really felt that. And I wasn’t knowing if I would feel that because I hadn’t seen the movie since it was in an animatic pencil sketch on a storyboard. Between that and the finished movie I didn’t really see much footage when we were recording it.

The ads have focused on SpongeBob’s superhero appearance. Did the animators model him after your Luke-Perry-goes-topless skit that you did on the 1992 Fox-TV sketchcom The Edge?

(Laughs, then proceeds with tongue in cheek.) Yeah, they pretty much PhotoShopped SpongeBob’s head onto my real body. It’s not like the old days when Robert Mitchum could have a little gut in Cape Fear; now 02.11.15 - 02.17.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

you’ve gotta stay in tip-top physical condition and I do my best to do that. I look to Chris Hemsworth (from the Thor movies) for my body image. (Laughs) You’ve been to several Comic Cons. What is it like meeting your most rabid fans?

Really nice, actually, It’s not at all like that William Shatners Saturday Night Live sketch (from December 1986, where he told Star Trek fans to get a life). And truly, I do not do very many conventions at all, so when I do it, I think people get excited. A lot of the voice actors do a ton of them, but I do San Diego every year, I just did New York City a few months ago, I’ve done Dragon Con in Atlanta a few years ago, and I’ve got one or two coming up in 2015. But I generally say no to those because it takes you out of the country and away from the 10 animated shows I’m usually working on at any given time. Yeah, it’s great to go to Australia and be at a Comic Con in Melbourne or Sydney for a week or two, but when your kids are in school and you can’t take them out, it just feels wrong. (Laughs) So long story short, I love meeting people at the cons. A lot of it is the kids, a lot of it is people in their 20s and sometimes 30s if they grew up on Rocko’s Modern Life, some of them have kids of their own and they say, “You’re the soundtrack of my childhood, man, you’re the voice I hear in my head.” Some say, “I watched it with my family and it was a really pleasant memory,” and others say, “My childhood was horrible and I escaped into cartoons, thank you.”

Everyone standing in line has a really good association with the characters and the stuff you’ve been in, so it’s an unexpectedly affecting experience for me, like super-gratifying. And even elderly empty nesters say (in a senior citizen voice), “My kids are all gone now, but we still watch SpongeBob, isn’t that funny?

We looked around and we said, ‘The kids are gone and there’s no grandkids around, why the hell are we watching SpongeBob? We can’t stop!’”

The highest compliment was from the guy who was in charge of the New York Comic Con. It’s really about how long the lines are, where people say, “Wow, the Green Power Ranger is really popular!” I said,

“Well, I don’t really do this stuff. How did I do?” And the guy (Kenny in a gruff New Yawk voice) said, “Are you kidding?

You kicked the A-listers’ asses! You did better than any of the Star Trek people.

And (The X-Files’) Gillian Anderson had no lines!”

Back in 1979, you and Bobcat Goldthwait answered a Syracuse New Times classified ad about going for standup tryouts at Skaneateles’ Under the Stone. That was the first time you both met social satirist Barry Crimmins.

That is true. Barry Crimmins took out this ad, and we sort of do owe our careers to the Syracuse New Times, and I’m not kissing ass. If we hadn’t answered that ad, we might have gotten around to what we were doing eventually, but it probably would have been a more elliptical (journey). I mean, that was perfect: 16 years old, answer an ad, show up, do standup, it goes pretty good, you go back again, then you think, “I might want to do something like this to make a living. Can I do that?

What are the options? How do you pursue that?”

For me, the path was standup comedy to voiceover, and I love it. Voiceover is the most fun job. I can’t picture a job I would like more. And Bob has different aspirations: I want to be a director, I want to make people cry, feel, laugh, and he’s doing that.

One thing that’s been a blast about this is that as the SpongeBob movie is rolling out — and we’re starting to do new TV episodes and I’m the voice director as of this season so it’s fun directing my old pals in the booth — meanwhile, Bobcat is burning up the Sundance Film Festival with his Barry Crimmins documentary.

That’s fantastic. He and I are texting each other back and forth, and I’m reading stuff like (in a deep voice), “Call Me Lucky is Bobcat Goldthwait’s masterpiece,” and it’s just so cool and great. I would be in Sundance now with Bob and Barry if I wasn’t doing this (promotional duties for the SpongeBob movie). So it’s a pretty heady week for us East Syracuse types.

Here’s a loaded question: After years of attending parochial school Lenten fish fries, do you still eat seafood?

Ha ha ha! At the risk of sounding like a cannibal? Don’t bite the fin that feeds you. SNT

TECH & EFFECT WITH ABOVE & BEYOND

P

aavo Siljarmaki was 6 years old when he started playing classical cello; soon after he was playing piano. He grew up in Finland with his extended family (more than 20 cousins), with all members forced to play an instrument.

“Some thought it was terrible,” he fondly recalls, “I thought it was awesome. All these other kids were into sports and weren’t that good at it. All the while, this was something I could do. I could do music. It was always my thing, as well as painting, drawing and photography. I was always a little strange.”

Siljarmaki’s strange ways have made him a name known around the globe with his group, Above & Beyond. The electronic dance outfit, formed in 2000, has consistently ranked among the top DJs in the world in DJ Magazine and played events and venues spanning Ultra Musical Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Forest, the Greek Theater and Madison Square Garden.

However, Siljarmaki is especially excited for the upcoming U.S. tour. “It’s really something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time,” he says.

“It’ll be a big bus tour with all of our own gear, giving really great shows. We’re playing really tiny places to The Forum in Los Angeles and everything in between. No two nights will be the same.”

Above & Beyond will swing through Syracuse on Wednesday, Feb. 18.

Siljarmaki, 37, came of age during the start of the electronic age. “I was hearing things like (soundtracks for) Miami Vice and Blade Runner,” he says. “It was incredible stuff. I got into electronic music and technology. Sonic possibilities were limited with piano or cello. But with technology, there’s no limit whatsoever.”

Above & Beyond was born when Siljarmaki met Jono Grant at the University of Westminster. The two shared a love of electronic music and wrote together.

They started the Anjunabeats record label in 1999 and released their first single, “Volume One.” The label was designed as a platform for their own music, but they started releasing music under other names as well, including Dirt Devils and Free State.

Tony McGuinness, marketing director and manager of the Warner Music Group, caught wind of the project and came into the fold in 2000. In 2002, the group made their DJ debut in Tokyo, where more than 8,000 clubbers attended.

The group’s steady rise included releases Tri-State (2006), Sirens of the Sea (2008), Group Therapy (2011) and the new album We Are All We Need.

Although known primarily as an electronic act,

Siljarmaki notes that he hasn’t lost sight of his roots, as the group did the album Acoustic in 2014.

“We’ve found a really good place, with one foot in playing instruments and writing songs and one in a DJ booth and studio,” he says. “We Are All We Need was largely written acoustically. Songs came about with piano and vocal or guitar and vocal, then taken to the studio and remixed. I’ve always felt there’s something about a great song that you can make a great electronic version of it as well.”

Siljarmaki also recognizes the physical differences of acoustic music, not just in the actual playing of instruments but in the performance. “A big part of the show is the connection we have with people in the room,” he says. “For me, the experience of an acoustic show with 15 people on stage is terrifying in a different way.

DJing, there’s two of us on stage and every mistake can stop the music. I feel lucky that we have the opportunity to do both, but there’s something about the energy of electronic music in a live setting that I really love.”

The group has incorporated interactive elements to amp the energy in their shows. As an example, they text-message the audience by writing messages that appear on large LED screens in the venue.

“It’s a really interesting way to do it,” he says. “It’s more than on the microphone.

It’s quite a powerful way to communicate with people. There’s a real coolness about written words and bad poetry.”

There will also be a “push the button” segment during the show when a song stops in the middle. Siljarmaki explains its origin: “Tony accidentally stopped it a few years ago, so he brought a person up to press the button to start it all again.

We didn’t realize what a big deal it was to take over the DJ booth. It’s become the ‘push the button’ moment. That’s how things happen on tour. We do something once, say we should do that again, and three years later, we do it every time now and everyone knows about it.” SNT

Better Call Saul broke records Sunday with the biggest premiere in cable history: 6.9 million viewers. It was given a boost by The TAKE Walking Dead mid-season premiere that aired before it, which drew a whopping 15.6 million viewers.

BETTER CALL SAUL BETTER THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED IT COULD BE

T

he scene is black and white. A woman pours something dark and granular onto a white piece of dough and rolls the whole thing up. She cuts the roll into discs and arranges them in a pan. She bakes the cinnamon buns and ices them.

A mustachioed man with a sweaty combover tucked into a Cinnabon visor turns on the smoothie machine. He notices a tall, bald thug-type in the corner, eyeing him suspiciously.

At home, the mustachioed man makes a stiff drink and pulls a videocassette tape out of a shoebox in the closet. As he watches, we see reflected in his glasses both the tears from his own eyes and the first splash of color we’ve seen so far: the pink and yellow of the screen in front of him, with a narration by a brash and seedy lawyer.

“Better Call —” Blackout.

Since the finale of Breaking Bad more than a year ago, fans of the series have eagerly awaited this day.

AMC’s prequel Better Call Saul tells the origin story of lawyer Saul Goodman — Mr. “No. 1 on your speed dial, right next to your weed dealer” — before he got involved in all of Walter White’s drama.

The series premiere aired Sunday night, with the

second episode airing Monday night at the show’s regular time. It was originally supposed to be a halfhour comedy, with Bob Odenkirk’s signature brand of committed physical and emotional shtick leading the way. But the show’s creators instead opted for a full hour, and the trailer for the first season demonstrates a new vision: a dark, dramatic comedy bred from the best of Odenkirk’s Breaking Bad character.

From the start, Odenkirk’s performance dominates the show. When he is late to a court appearance, even his absence commands the room. One moment, he is an insecure lawyer whispering to himself over a dirty courtroom urinal. Then he bursts into the courtroom and delivers an impassioned — if stilted — defense of three 16-year-old “knuckleheads” who, it turns out, are merely guilty of trespassing.

Wait, no. They broke into a morgue, sawed off a dead man’s head, had sex with it, and filmed the whole thing. It’s a Saul Goodman moment ever there was one.

But this isn’t Saul — yet. This is James McGill, a broke up-and-comer who fakes a secretary’s voice on his cell and drives a loud yellow Suzuki Esteem with one orange door. His office is the boiler room of a nail salon. He’s bootstrappy and honest. (Well, maybe only one of those things is true.)

“I don’t go looking for guilty people to represent,” he tells a potential client, with a sly smile. “I mean, who needs that aggravation, right?”

Every moment feels like an episode of Breaking Bad, from the direction that places the viewer in the center of uncomfortable situations, eye to eye with the situation’s most uncomfortable person to the wide, drab shots that set the scene of the wide, drab city of Albuquerque.

Yet something about this is entirely different. This is not just a series of Saul moments, lifted text and tone from its predecessor. It is differentiated by its pace and the sophistication of the jokes.

They fall squarely in the space between cringe-worthy and throw-your-headback-and-guffaw-worthy, leaving nothing behind but a desire for more just like them. Breaking Bad had a way of giving audiences exactly what they least expected, but Better Call Saul does it — well, better. And much, much funnier.

The pilot and second episode are helmed by Breaking Bad veterans, creator Vince Gilligan and Michelle McLaren, respectively. Their influence shows, but I wouldn’t say you must love Breaking Bad to love this, or vice versa. It’s surely its own show, with its own priorities. If you did happen to watch Breaking Bad, Easter eggs already abound. And I’ll bet that by the end of the first episode, you’ll care about Saul Goodman in a way you never thought you could.

Better Call Saul airs Monday nights at 10 p.m. on AMC. SNT

DENMARK GOES UPTOWN IN NEW-JACK HAMLET

N

ow is the winter of the smartphone Hamlet. The melancholy prince of Denmark Financial in moments of reflection is never at a loss for words. He need only look to the text in his palm.

REVIEW

Everything’s up to date in Elsinor City. Even the merry Gravedigger (Crista Wirth) is grooving to her iPod. But, soft! Much of the characterization and action, up to the line, “The rest is silence,” honors what you remember from reading the text. What you see in this Syracuse Shakespeare Festival production at the State Fairgrounds’ Empire Theater is like nothing you have seen before.

Young director Sara Caliva declares herself a Shakespeare purist and speaks of standing in the rain to see A Winter’s Tale at London’s open-top Globe.

Locally she has apprenticed in a batch of roles for the Syracuse Shakespeare Festival before debuting in her current one. Here she has teamed with producer Heather McNeil, whose name is cited right under Caliva’s on the cover of the program.

Together they have brought in some prominent tech people not seen in previous festival productions.

These include ace lighting designer Bob Frame, long associated with Auburn’s Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, and sound designer/technical director Chris Yeckel. The local talent, including costumer Barbara Toman and set designer Navroz Dabu, are some of the best people in community theater.

02.11.15 - 02.17.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

Caliva and McNeil’s innovations are so clever, arresting and continual that you have to stop yourself to parse how they relate to conventional stagings and ask if they advance the tone of what is usually thought of as our No. 1 tragedy. The first and probably the most successful is when Hamlet (Daryl Acevedo) encounters the Ghost of his father in this skeptical and secular age. The Ghost flashes in and out of focus on a large screen at stage right, as if he’s an interruption in a PowerPoint presentation. Casting spectrally white-bearded Michael Dougherty in the role overcomes any questions of metaphysics.

Later on this same screen we see Hamlet’s playwithin-a-play, The Murder of Gonzago, with which he hopes to capture the conscience of a king. In a large, fashionable living room we see the husbandand-wife team of Nora O’Dea and Dan Stevens as the Player Queen and King. Sure enough, we see nasty poison poured into the King’s ear, but Caliva has chosen to run this prerecorded sequence with a laugh track and comic sound effects. These tend to undercut what a shock the performance of Gonzago is for the formerly cocky and now nervous Claudius (Ty Marshal).

Every innovation, even when charming, comes with a price. Caliva has everyone in the cast speak in conversational American English. This will be a boon for high school students seeing Hamlet for the first time. It also means that big speeches and soliloquies are diminished.

Consider Hamlet’s meditation on the worth of living, words many in the audience know. Excluding this speech, Daryl Acevedo, who was Horatio in the Redhouse Arts Center’s Hamlet last March, creates a highly plausible character that’s not an echo of the many famous princes available on video. Melancholy, but not paralyzed. Frustrated, but striving for resolution. When he sits down to think aloud, however, the moral weight deflates.

Is he talking about life and death or switching from AT&T to Sprint?

Also unusual in this production, the name of Ty Marshal as Claudius is listed along with Acevedo’s on the cover of the program. We quickly see why. Resplendent in a top-grade striped suit, Claudius dominates every scene he’s in. Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theater (SALT) winner Marshal also has the best diction and projection of anyone in the cast. Instead of being the moral weasel he has been in other productions, this Claudius is a tough customer, a formidable adversary. (Marshal is the New Times’ manager of digital media.)

The decision to play Polonius (Thad Striffler) for laughs, on the other hand, is counterproductive. Wearing a narrow-brimmed fedora to business meetings, this Polonius comes off as fatuous rather than windy, which undercuts the horror of his murder, when he is pummeled with a weight behind a translucent screen.

Strong support comes from Sarah Bradstreet as a heartbreaking Ophelia and Conlon Doran as her dark-browed brother, Laertes. Too many other players suffer from weak projection, however.

This is a rambunctious Hamlet from a resourceful young director, who will have many more things to say. SNT

SOCKO SONDHEIM AT SYRACUSE OPERA

S

tephen Sondheim is the equal of Giacomo Puccini? That claim by Syracuse Opera artistic head Douglas Kinney Frost is borne out in the melancholic romanticism of A Little Night Music at the Mulroy Civic Center’s Carrier Theater.

REVIEW

What Kinney Frost praises is Sondheim’s ability to infuse his music with dramatic passion. The music must not merely ornament the emotions of the narrative but embody them. Consider the show’s signature solo, ”Send in the Clowns,” one of the best-known songs of the last century. We all know the words from Frank Sinatra and Judy Collins, yet you have to be there to see what it gains as a peak moment in an opera.

A Little Night Music is a dark comedy of absurd love. Desiree Armfeldt (mezzo Sarah Heltzel) is supposed to be an over-the-hill actress (doesn’t look it!) on tour in the provinces. Her married lover, an army officer, Carl-Magnus (baritone Mark Womack), treats her badly.

On tour she sees her heart’s desire: Fredrik (baritone Peter Kendall Clark), a middle-aged lawyer, sits in the balcony with his child bride Anne (soprano Rachel Zatcoff). Desiree has kept an important secret from Fredrik. Anne, meanwhile, refuses to sleep with Fredrik and is the object of guilt-ridden passion by Fredrik’s anguished seminarian son Henrik (tenor Kevin Newell), older than she.

What we don’t see at first is that all these lines lead through Desiree. She grasps it all in “Send in the Clowns.” Sarah Heltzel brings massive understatement to lyrics that were originally written for Broadway actress Glynis Johns, who could barely hold a note. Desiree’s restraint in recognizing the collision of deep yearning with nonsense is what moves “Clowns” from the merely bittersweet to the ineffably wrenching. Put this “Send in the Clowns” next to Madame Butterfly’s masterwork of pathos, “Un bel di, vedremo,” and see which one moves an audience more.

All the imported professionals meet the company’s high vocal standards yet also sound adroit with Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s often snappy spoken dialogue. Sarah Heltzel, constantly on stage, is usually heard with other voices, as in the rollicking “You Must Meet My Wife” with Fredrik. In the second act she creates a certain frisson in the ironic duet with her lover’s wife, Charlotte (Danan Tsan), because they both are well aware of how they are cheated upon.

The two baritones make contrasting types. Com-

pany favorite Peter Kendall Clark (Die Fledermaus) is so comfortable as the slightly antic Fredrik that at one point he whistles Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, spoofing the translated title of the show. His opposite number is the shorter, darker Mark Womack as nominal villain Carl-Magnus. His cynical solo, “In Praise of Women,” delivers one of the best realized moments in the first act. Opposites clash and then blend in the second act’s “It Would Have Been Wonderful,” Fredrik and Carl-Magnus’ frolicsome duet.

The timely first-act sequence of solos, Fredrik’s “Now,” followed by Henrik’s “Later,” herald the musical entrance of Zatcoff as the blatantly virginal wife Anne. Her silvery, lyrical voice comes first in the trio “Soon,” with Fredrik and Henrik, but her articulation does not make a good match with Sondheim’s tongue-twisters. Much smoother is her despairing duet with Charlotte, “Every Day a Little Death.”

Kevin Newell scores a palpable hit as the angst-ridden son Henrik, both as an affecting actor and as a tenor opera buffs will love. His unwitting tutor in matters fleshly is mezzo Kaitlyn Costello Fain as the saucy-but-smart maid Petra. In her naughty solo, “The Miller’s Son,” she employs a free-form modern dance to amplify the lyrics.

Most admirable in this production is the inclusion of several community players. Kate Huddleston is too youthful and pretty for the crone Madame Armfeldt, but her excellent delivery of key lines, toasting both life and death at the banquet, defines the tone for the whole.

Lovely blond Danan Tsan holds her own musically, and her mordant wit makes her the major scene-stealer. Skaneateles high schooler Katherine Krebs, a soprano and dancer who looks like she might be Huddleston’s granddaughter, puts the best face on innocence.

Non-collegiate theater companies won’t touch A Little Night Music. It requires Syracuse Opera to give us this rare and difficult jewel. SNT

F R E E W I L L A S T R O LO G Y

ARIES (March 21-April 19) I hope you have

someone in your life to whom you can send the following love note, and if you don’t, I trust you will locate that someone no later than Aug. 1: “I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.” (This passage is borrowed from author Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Everything Is Illuminated.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “We assume that

others show their love in the same way that we do,” writes psychologist Amy Przeworski, “and if they don’t follow that equation, we worry that the love is not there.” I think you’re on track to overcome this fundamental problem, Taurus.

Your struggles with intimacy have made you wise enough to surrender your expectations about how others should show you their love.

You’re almost ready to let them give you their affection and demonstrate their care for you in ways that come natural to them. In fact, maybe you’re ready RIGHT NOW.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I’d like to bestow a blessing on you and your closest ally. My hope is that it will help you reduce the restlessness that on occasion undermines the dynamism of your relationship. Here’s the benediction, inspired by a Robert Bly poem: As you sit or walk or lie next to each other, you share a mood of glad acceptance. You aren’t itchy or fidgeting, wondering if there’s something better to be or do. You don’t wish you were talking about a different subject or feeling a different emotion or living in a different world. You are content to be exactly who you are, exactly where you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Want to infuse your romantic interludes with wilder moods now and then? Want to cultivate a kind of intimacy that taps deeper into your animal intelligence? If so, try acting out each other’s dreams or drawing magic symbols on each other’s bodies. Whisper funny secrets into each other’s ears or wrestle like good-natured drunks on the living room floor. Howl like coyotes. Caw like crows. Purr like cheetahs. Sing boisterous songs and recite feral poetry to each other. Murmur this riff, adapted from Pablo Neruda: “Our love was born in the wind, in the night, in the earth.

That’s why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know our names.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22:) Is there any sense in

which your closest alliance is a gift to the world?

Does your relationship inspire anyone? Do the two of you serve as activators and energizers, igniting fires in the imaginations of those whose lives you touch? If not, find out why. And if you are tapping into those potentials, it’s time to raise your impact to the next level. Together the two of you now have extra power to synergize your collaboration in such a way that it sends out ripples of benevolence everywhere you go.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The poet Rainer

Marie Rilke said that people misunderstand the role of love. “They have made it into play and pleasure because they think that play and pleasure are more blissful than work,” he wrote. “But there is nothing happier than work. And love, precisely because it is the supreme happiness, can be nothing other than work.” I’m sharing this perspective with you for two reasons, Virgo.

First, of all the signs in the zodiac, you’re most likely to thrive on his approach. Second, you’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when this capacity of yours is at a peak. Here’s how Rilke finished his thought: “Lovers should act as if they had a great work to accomplish.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) About 2,600 years ago, the Greek poet Sappho wrote the following declaration: “You make me hot.” In the next 10 days, I’d love for you to feel motivated to say or think that on a regular basis. In fact, I predict that you will. The astrological omens suggest you’re in a phase when you are both more likely to be made hot and more likely to encounter

30

phenomena that make you hot. Here are some other fragments from Sappho that might come in handy when you need to express your torrid feelings: 1. “This randy madness I joyfully proclaim.” 2. “Eros makes me shiver again . . . Snakesly, invincible.” 3. “Desire has shaken my mind as wind in the mountain forests roars through trees.” (Translations by Guy Davenport.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In the TV

science-fiction show Doctor Who, the title character lives in a time machine that is also a spaceship. It’s called a Tardis. From the outside, it appears to be barely bigger than a phone booth. But once you venture inside, you find it’s a spacious chateau with numerous rooms, including a greenhouse, library, observatory, swimming poo and karaoke bar. This is an excellent metaphor for you, Scorpio. Anyone who wants your love or friendship must realize how much you resemble a Tardis. If they don’t understand that you’re far bigger on the inside than you seem on the outside, it’s unlikely the two of you can have a productive relationship. This Valentine season, as a public service, make sure that everyone you’re seriously involved with knows this fact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Love and intimacy come in many forms. There are at least a billion different ways for you to be attracted to another person, and a trillion different ways to structure your relationship. Maybe your unique bond involves having sex, or maybe it doesn’t.

Maybe it’s romantic or friendly or holy, or all three of those things. Do the two of you have something important to create together, or is your connection more about fueling each other’s talents? Your task is to respect and revere the idiosyncratic ways you fit together, not force yourselves to conform to a prototype. To celebrate the Valentine season, I invite you and your closest ally to play around with these fun ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Anais Nin wrote the following passage in her novel A Spy in the House of Love: “As other girls prayed for handsomeness in a lover, or for wealth, or for power, or for poetry, she had prayed fervently: let him be kind.” I recommend that approach for you right now, Capricorn. A quest for tender, compassionate attention doesn’t always have to be at the top of your list of needs, but I think it should be for now. You will derive a surprisingly potent alchemical boost from basking in kindness. It will catalyze a breakthrough that can’t be unleashed in any other way. Ask for it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) How many

desires do you have? Take a rough inventory.

Identify the experiences you continually seek in your quest to feel relief and pleasure and salvation and love and a sense of meaning. You can also include fantasies that go unfulfilled and dreams that may or may not come true in the future. As you survey this lively array, don’t censor yourself or feel any guilt. Simply give yourself to a sumptuous meditation on all the longings that fuel your journey. This is your prescription for the coming week. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, it is the medicine you need most.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The German word

Nachkussen refers to the kind of kiss that compensates for all the kissing that has not been happening, all the kissing that has been omitted or lost. If it has been too long since you’ve kissed anyone, you need Nachkussen. If your lover hasn’t kissed you lately with the focused verve you long for, you need Nachkussen. If you yourself have been neglecting to employ your full artistry and passion as you bestow your kisses, you need Nachkussen. From what I can tell, Pisces, this Valentine season is a full-on Nachkussen holiday for you. Now please go get what you haven’t been getting.

easier for a user to care for himself and others in his life. Though mainly a Web tool now, Crooks is looking into developing a Sage mobile app as well.

“We plan to integrate the (application program interface) into one’s contacts eventually,” said Crooks.

The platform works on a subscription model and is preparing to launch both an English and Spanish version.

FIRM’S SOFTWARE AIMS TO ORGANIZE CHAOS OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

T

hink about the average person’s network in day-to-day life: doctor, dentist, pharmacist, mechanic, plumber, spouse, kids; kids’ doctor, dentist, soccer coach; boss at work, clients, vendors, subordinates — the list could go on.

Many people form the support system in a person’s life; and not keeping that system straight can lead to stress, confusion, anxiety. However, the reverse is also true: Bringing order to the chaos in one’s life can lead to balance and peace.

Enter SageMyLife. At first glance, SageMyLife looks like simple mind-mapping software, but it’s more than that.

To understand the online interactive tool one has to understand its founder, Glenna M. Crooks, Ph.D. In an interview at the Syracuse Tech Garden — where SageMyLife is located — last week, Crooks, who is based in Philadelphia, explained her background and how she started the company to develop the software in Central New York.

Crooks came from an education background as a school psychologist with a multidisciplinary doctorate and a unique ability to “bring order to chaos.”

She was a Reagan administration appointee and later moved to the private sector, working for Merck & Co. until she formed her own strategy firm, Strategic Health Policy International.

“The idea of SageMyLife really was catalyzed by Robert Downey Jr.,” said Crooks. Downey Jr. had commented in W, the fashion magazine, that he had a sensei, a yoga teacher, and a psychiatrist.

“I’m not a Model T,” he told W, “I’m a Ferrari.”

“I’m a Maserati,” said Crooks, borrowing the metaphor, “and I take more than a pit crew.” Crooks took at look at her own life with a pencil and paper and discovered, even without a spouse or children, the list included over 50 people.

“Using a blank sheet of paper or ‘unaided recall,’” she said, “It takes about eight hours to put together that list — and even then you are missing 20 percent of them.”

SageMyLife uses prompts to jog people’s memories. One user filling out the chart realized she managed 47 people for just one of her children, who has Asperger syndrome and a host of special assistants and therapists.

The Sage map is divided into five major areas: family, medical, education, spiritual and social, including all the various people involved in each, making it

A SYRACUSE STARTUP A former client of Crooks returned to Syracuse some time ago and began working for Crooks.

“We were looking at a variety of states on the Eastern Seaboard,” said Crooks, on starting SageMyLife. Crooks tried starting in Philadelphia, where she is based, but the startup environment was hard compared to Central New York’s. She decided to take advantage of the more supportive climate for entrepreneurs and Start-Up NY, a state program that enables a qualified business to start, expand or relocate to a tax-free zone in New York.

“People here opened the doors wide,” she said. Everyone who got the idea really embraced it.

Applying the system to her own company, Crooks realized it was time to add staff to be more effective. SageMyLife hired a headhunting firm to fill two jobs and hired five people. “The quality we found was so extraordinary,” she said.

“All our vendors are here in CNY,” noted Crooks. “I intend to be the poster child for Start-Up NY,” she said.

“Though we want to go global, we still want to have a presence here,” she said.

GOOD EATS ON TRACK IN JAMESVILLE

Y

ou might not think of Jamesville as a food destination. It’s the hamlet you pass through on your way to the Balloon Fest at Jamesville Beach Park or on your way to take a hike at Pratts Falls. But if you like to dine out, Jamesville has a couple of new restaurants that should be on your radar.

NOTCH 8 CAFE Notch 8 Cafe, the first phase of the planned TRiNiQ dining and event venue at the former Glen Loch Mill Restaurant, opened in December at 6523 E. Seneca Turnpike (in the site formerly occupied

by Split Rock Grille, Sotiris Greek Taverna and the Village Eatery).

Notch 8 does a little of everything — breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, plus coffee, gelato and homemade baked goods. The weekend brunch menu has proven to be so popular that it’s now available on weekdays, too, with items like pancakes and waffles with New York maple syrup, eggs Benedict, omelets and more. The cafe serves coffee by Utica Coffee Roasting Company.

The restaurant has a chalkboard menu, offering a daily pizza, soup and slider special and changing selection of sandwiches and paninis.

Stop in for dinner and your first bite will be an amuse bouche, a complimentary bite-size appetizer that changes daily. Amuse bouche is French for “entertain the mouth.” Recent offerings have included

crispy fried lemon pepper garbanzo beans and guava sriracha gelato with smoked ghost chile pepper sea salt. The dinner menu features small plates, burgers, steaks and chops, seafood and housemade pasta dishes.

Notch 8 is a railroad term that refers to the eighth notch of the throttle control, or full power.

Railroad references are on the menu, like junction wings, New York Central pizza and the Big Caboose Burger: an 8-ounce patty topped with pulled pork, fried egg, crispy fried onion, smoked bacon jus, cheddar and lettuce.

In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, Notch 8 hosts special events, like beer and wine pairing dinners and the “Taste of TRiNiQ” Valentine’s Day dinner coming up Saturday ($110 per couple, plus tax and tip; call for reservations).

Information: 870-9132, www.notch8cafe.com SCHOOL & VINE KITCHEN & BAR The “now open” flag is flying at School & Vine Kitchen & Bar, a couple miles west of Jamesville.

The restaurant, which opened in late January, is

in the former Southwood Two-Teacher School, a vine-covered brick building at 4621 Barker Hill Road, just off Route 173.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It formerly housed a hair and tanning salon, among other businesses. New owners Dennis and Katie Yost, who own and operate Panini’s downtown (and formerly operated the Clinton Park Cafe on South Clinton Street) gutted the building, and in the process uncovered chalkboards and other original architectural details, some of which have been preserved.

According to the restaurant’s website, the winter menu offers appetizers like housemade kettle chips and duck bacon wontons, dinner salads, sandwiches and burgers and pasta. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday for dinner and is expected to also serve lunch. The restaurant can accommodate about 50 guests for private parties.

Information: 469-4227, www.schoolandvine.com WHILE YOU’RE THERE Jamesville might be small, but it boasts two bakeries across the street from each other. The Pastry Palace, at 6499 E. Seneca Turnpike (492-1905), makes some of the best rugelach around and offers strawberry whipped cream cake and other treats reminiscent of the former Snowflake Pastry Shop in Syracuse. Half Moon Bakery and Bistro, at 6500 E. Seneca Turnpike, is noted for its half moon and other cookies, as well as cupcakes and custom cakes. It also offers bistro lunches.

Hundreds of New York public school teachers have invited you to come into their classrooms to see for yourself what all kids need.

They want you to understand the impact of over-testing, crowded classes, lack of supplies and too few supports for teachers and struggling students.

They want you to see for yourself, rather than listening to your millionaire contributors who keep telling you that teachers are to blame for everything that’s wrong in our schools.

We know that the teachers did not support your re-election bid. But as The New York Times recently wrote: It is time “to move beyond peripheral concerns and political score-settling” to confront “the inequality in school funding that prevents many poor districts from lifting their children up to state standards.”

You talk a lot about teachers. Why not talk to teachers?

Come to one of our classrooms:

The door is always open.
