SAY YES: STILL A GOOD IDEA

ED GRIFFIN-NOLAN 05/06/15

ALL lives matter!!! — Diane Bowen-Powers My daughter is reaping the benefits of Say Yes. She finishes her junior year at Buffalo State May 13. Say Yes pays her tuition, her grandmother buys her books, and we pay her room and board. When she graduates next May, she will graduate with NO student loans which gives her an opportunity to work and pursue/pay for her masters without drowning in the original debt. Her best friend from high school is also reaping the benefits. She is the first person in her family to go to college and if it weren’t for OnPoint helping her with transportation to and from Buffalo and books, and Say Yes paying her tuition she would never have had the opportunity. Now instead of becoming a statistic, she will be graduating from University of Buffalo May 2016 and starting medical school August 2016 to become a neurosurgeon. It truly DOES work and they need to do whatever possible to keep this program going.

Curses, Foiled Again

Burglary suspect Christopher Wallace, 24, eluded sheriff’s deputies in Somerset County, Maine, for several weeks but then unwittingly alerted them to his whereabouts by revealing on Snapchat that he had just returned home. A second post followed that deputies were at his home and coming inside, but he was hiding in a cabinet. Social media-monitoring deputies then headed for the cabinet and found “a pair of feet,” the sheriff’s department’s Facebook page reported. “The feet just so happened to be attached to a person, and that person was Christopher Wallace.” (Kennebec Morning Sentinel)

No Believing Allowed After a group called the Satanic Temple asked the Orange County (Fla.) School Board for permission to distribute a satanic coloring book to students, the board voted to ban not only satanic materials, but also outside bibles. The World Changers of Florida had previously been allowed to hand out bibles. (Orlando Sentinel)

Thank You for Your Service

Shortly after Will Swenson was named to receive the Medal of Honor for heroism in Afghanistan, the Army placed the outspoken critic of Army leadership under surveillance because his name appeared, along with others, in a one-paragraph book review on Amazon.com. Swenson, whom the book itself didn’t mention, said agents questioned him, pawed through his trash and rattled his girlfriend. Then-Secretary of the Army John McHugh agreed the Amazon review triggered the surveillance, which, he suggested, “was really about his award, his criticism of the Army and the hope that agents would find something to shut him up.” (The Daily Beast)

Nous Sommes Charlie Hebdo

Surviving staffers of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo are feuding over how to split the surge in revenue since the deadly shootings at its Paris office. Sales rose from 30,000 copies a week to hundreds of thousands, and revenue jumped to $32 million. Eleven members of the staff asked lawyers to turn the magazine into a cooperative so everyone can share the profits. Others oppose the move, saying it’s an attempt to get their hands on the 40 percent of shares owned by murdered editor Stephane Charbonnier that now belong to his parents. (New York Daily News)

Authorities accused Travis Lanning, 34, of beating a woman in her 50s with a weapon described as “a club with a spiked ball on the end,” known in medieval times as a mace.

Say Yes local head Pat Driscoll gets unlimited grief every time he shows up moonlighting as a ref in an NCAA basketball game. But TAKE Sen. John DeFrancisco seems to get a free pass when he moonlights. Why is that?

QUICK

MOONLIGHTING BECOMES THEM

I

f you would be willing to take a job that paid $79,500 a year, involved no heavy lifting and meant you could work indoors most days (except for the occasional groundbreaking ceremony), please raise your hand. I see a lot of hands going up, and I haven’t even told you about the juicy perks such as the per diem that covers food and lodging, or the extra pay you get for serving on a committee (comfy chairs provided). A lot of hands go up because that $79,500, the base salary for a member of the New York State Senate, is considerably higher than what the average individual in Onondaga County earns. Per capita income in our corner of the state has been parked just south of $29,000 for the past five years, adding up to a median household income of about $54,000. No per diems for driving to work, no bonus if you serve on a committee or even if you happen to be the guy who brings the doughnuts to the work site. I have long believed that if we paid our legislators what the average person in our community earns, those legislators would be more inclined to view their actions first and foremost in terms of how they affect us. And they would never have to worry about voting themselves a raise: Every time they did something that helped our bottom line, it would help theirs, too. That proposal, you may be sure, will never become law, but it offers an interesting way to look at how

we pay our lawmakers, and it reminds us of just how much better off than the rest of us most of them are. Still, for most senators and Assembly members, that is not enough. The vast majority of them feel the need to earn gobs more money doing outside work, all the while insisting that their legislative work is a full-time occupation. Our local state Senator John DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) is among the heavy hitters of the upper chamber, pocketing tens of thousands last year for his labors as a lawyer and a landlord, while his colleague Dave Valesky (D-Oneida) earns the St. Francis Award for the humblest senator. Valesky takes in somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 accompanying the choir (I kid you not) at church on Sundays. For some senators, collecting a salary two or three times what most of us earn while being able to make unlimited sums doing side work is still not enough. They still feel the need to scrape in a few extra bucks

under the table (allegedly). Dean Skelos, the Republican leader of the Senate, who hails from Long Island, recently got to do the now-familiar Albany perp walk. Like former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver before him, he defiantly proclaims his innocence of corruption charges. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara begs to differ. Silver and Skelos, like Joe Bruno and Tom Libous and so many Albany power brokers before them, ran afoul of the law when they mixed up their private dealmaking with their roles as public servants. And how could it be otherwise? Sen. DeFrancisco’s disclosure forms show that he is “of counsel” to his own law firm. Skelos and Silver both earned six and seven figures a year serving “of counsel” to law firms in which they were partners. The feds, and the public, have a right to know what they were doing to earn that money. Bharara will attempt to convince a jury that such arrangements act as a cover for bribery. Reached by phone the day after he lost the battle to succeed Skelos, DeFrancisco said that he would be opposed to a prohibition on side work. In fact he sees holding a second job as a way to promote better legislating. “If someone goes into public service and they rely on that exclusively, they make decisions just based on public opinion. They have to worry about keeping their position.” Arguing that he and others are “citizen lawmakers,” DeFrancisco says, “We don’t want to have politicians as a separate class. I can be more independent than someone who has to win re-election.” DeFrancisco’s first public office, Syracuse City School Board, paid no salary at all. “I don’t even think about that stuff. As for raises, I didn’t worry about them.” SNT

TOPIC: NEWS

By Sarah Hope

LE MOYNE GRADS OPPOSE COMMENCEMENT CARDINAL With Le Moyne College’s graduation just a few days away, seniors are calling for the removal of their commencement speaker. Cardinal Timothy Dolan is the Roman Catholic archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York, and is respected in the Catholic community. But he has a checkered past, including what students say is a questionable handling of clerical sexual abuse on his watch. The controversy has led to a dialogue that many find to be in the spirit of Le Moyne’s motto: “Spirit. Inquiry. Leadership.” Amy Denny, a senior psychology major, started a petition on Change.org to ask the college to disinvite the cardinal, who will receive an honorary degree during the Sunday, May 17, ceremony. “Sexual violence has affected hundreds of thousands of people,” she said. “Somebody needs to be held accountable for this.” As of this writing, the petition has over 600 signatures of students, alumni and supporters. There are about 600 students in the graduating class. David McCallum, S.J., executive assistant to the president for mission integration and development at Le Moyne, says that students are “justifiably frustrated” and applauds them for their critical thinking. “I’m really proud of our students for being politically engaged, for being thoughtful and critically minded around issues of social justice and social concern,” McCallum said. Most of the petition’s signees, like Denny, say that Dolan’s presence at their commencement violates their campuswide efforts to fight sexual violence, and sends a negative message to survivors. In January 2011, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, where Dolan served as archbishop from 2002 to 2007, filed for bankruptcy protection after it was unable to reach a settlement with several victims of sexual abuse. According to documents made public during the bankruptcy proceedings, in 2003 Dolan had authorized several payments of $20,000 to priests accused of sexual

abuse to ensure their cooperation in “laicization,” the official Vatican-sanctioned process by which priests are removed from the priesthood. A spokesman for the archdiocese confirmed this, telling The New York Times that the payments were a way to expedite the priests’ removal, “an incentive to go the voluntary route and make it happen quickly, and ultimately cost less.” The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), the victims advocacy group that revealed the documents, said that regardless of whether or not they greased the wheels, the payments were unjustified. “In what other occupation, especially one working with families and operating schools and youth programs, is an employee given a cash bonus for raping and sexually assaulting children?” they asked. By February 2012, the number of people suing the Milwaukee archdiocese had risen to more than 550. A year later came another damning revelation: In 2008, Dolan had “requested permission from the Vatican to move nearly $57 million into a cemetery trust fund to protect the assets from victims of clergy sexual abuse who were demanding compensation.” Dolan denied that he moved the money to protect it. But in a 2007 letter to the Vatican, he had stated that, with the transfer, he foresaw “an improved protection of these funds from any legal claim and liability.” In March 2015, the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals reopened discussion of whether or not the transfer was dubious, and whether or not that money should be subject to litigation. Peter Isely, a plaintiff in the Milwaukee suits and the Midwest president of SNAP, says this may mean that Dolan is finally open to deposition, and may be compelled to speak under oath about the motives behind the transfer. Isley says there are still nearly 600 abuse victims awaiting acknowledgment, and Dolan could use this controversy to come

05.13.15 - 05.19.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

clean once and for all. “He had an opportunity when (the allegations) began to surface to tell the truth and he didn’t,” Isely said via phone on May 1. “He needs to come back here and face these hundreds of victims that he betrayed.” Other students take issue with Dolan’s position — and the official position of the Catholic Church — on same-sex marriage. When leading the 2014 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City, Dolan expressed support for individual gay rights, telling the Washington Post, “I know that there are thousands and thousands of gay people marching in this parade,” and noting that he was “glad they are.” Yet in a statement on the archdiocese website, he clarified: “Catholic teaching is clear: ‘being gay‘ is not a sin, nor contrary to God’s revealed morals. Homosexual actions are — as are any sexual relations outside of the lifelong, faithful, loving, life-giving bond of a man and woman in marriage.” Students say that this position does not reflect the changing views of young Catholics. According to a 2014 Pew Research study, support for same-sex marriage among Catholics rose from 35 percent to 60 percent between 2003 and 2014. That number is even higher — 85 percent — among Catholics ages 18 to 29. The college, which upholds the official positions of the Catholic Church, held a campuswide forum on May 1, during which students expressed their concerns on both issues to faculty and high-level administration. Dolan’s visit has been planned since 2012, and the administration has said that disinviting him is not on the table. Both sides characterized the forum as “constructive” and “respectful.” Danielle McMahon, a senior biology major, signed the petition and strongly opposes Dolan’s presence. But she says she is happy with the way Le Moyne’s faculty and administration encourage inquiry. “I really appreciate the college and their reaction to situations such as these,” she said. “They really are dedicated to the spirit and the mission of the Jesuits and giving us the best education.” Denny says that, through the dialogue raised by her peers’ advocacy, she wants to help people understand that this is a much wider issue. By pointing the finger at the cardinal, “We want to show that we don’t tolerate sexual violence on our campus,” she said. For Dolan, the message is: “You were involved, you’re an official, and you can change this. Here’s our opposition. Here’s our disapproval.” McCallum says he is happy that the students are engaged, passionate and inquisitive about the church’s positions and future. “The questions that they’ve raised are really important ones, and they’re by no means settled issues,” he said. “The issues around the church’s position on human sexuality or how we handled the sexual abuse crisis — a lot of that stuff continues to need quite a bit of work. We encourage them to be active in that work moving forward.” SNT

A HAIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE

A

few weeks ago, I announced that I’d be visiting the Great Doctor Kim, who operates an amazing, new (to this area) anti-baldness machine. Good to my word, I have since consulted the Harvard-educated healer and his crackerjack staff at the Natural Face Center in East Syracuse. Suddenly, my future looks shiny and bright.

Empowered by an outpouring of reader support (I’ve already raised $10 toward the procedure!), I’ll soon be sprouting the first publicly owned hair transplant in American history. Everyone has locks and locks of questions, so let’s get to them: Q: What the ^%$?, Jeff? You’re already incredibly handsome and manly as a bald individual. Why change? A: Because this isn’t about me. As society becomes increasingly sensitive to various cultures and groups, one glaring exception remains. It’s still acceptable to mock male pattern baldness. My desire is to send a message to the afflicted: Alopecia hereditaria is no longer a curse or a disease — it’s a choice. Q: You believe that, as a bald man, you’ve been treated unfairly by society? A: Absolutely. A few years ago I attended the Great New York State Fair twice in the same day, once as a bald individual, the other time wearing a wig. Guess which “Jeff” attracted more members of the opposite

sex? Received a more upbeat tarot card reading? And guess which Jeff was treated like a three-legged llama with mites? Do I have to draw you a follicle map? Q: What makes Dr. Kim’s technique special? A: Previous hair transplantation involved harvesting clumps or strips from the back of the head and embedding them on top like dead nuisance rodents. Dr. Kim and his totally awesome NeoGraft machine harvest individual follicles, thereby eliminating unsightly bare patches and allowing for a precise, pleasing restoration of the hairline. Only local anesthesia is required, and perhaps a Valium. Maybe a quart of gin. A wheelbarrow full of medical marijuana would not be unthinkable. Six hours later, it will be done, and my life will begin anew. Q: Can hair from other parts of your body, such as the Zone of Mystery, be used? A: In theory, yes, but Dr. Kim won’t do it. After scrounging around the back of my head, he concluded that he can harvest up to 1,000 follicles. Twice

that number would be ideal, so I’ll still be a trifle exposed on top, but at least helicopters will stop trying to land there. Q: How much will the procedure cost, and how will you pay for it? A: The fee is $8,500, but don’t worry. It won’t come out of my pocket. Already my FundRazr campaign (expires May 28) has raised $5 (Thanks, Todd!), plus Terri in Dr. Kim’s office donated $5. To close the $8,490 gap, I’m offering readers a remarkable opportunity: to personally own one or more of my replanted follicles. Q: How will that work? A: A friend suggested that if you can buy naming rights to a star, why not sell ownership of harvested follicles? So that’s what we’re doing. For just $8.50, you can own one of my relocated follicles. You’ll receive a beautiful email certificate that includes a map showing the location of “your” follicle — or follicles if you want to make a bigger dent. Q: Can I purchase follicles now? A: Currently we are accepting only orders, but no money. Email to jeffmkramer @gmail.com and tell me how many follicles you want. Act fast. Supplies are limited. Q: What if someone reneges on their pledge? A: Unwise. The NeoGraft is a handheld, modified vacuum system and drilling punch. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Kim, it’s a tool for good. But imagine if the NeoGraft were to fall into the hands of a large, semi-anesthetized patient who had just been informed, mid-procedure, that some donations didn’t materialize, so now his 1,000-follicle hair transplant must be abandoned at, say, follicle No. 378. Would such a person — delirious from anxiety, half-crazed with scalp inflammation — be expected to follow the NeoGraft operating manual to the letter during the heated collections process? Please bare in mind that bald people have feelings, and some of those feelings are not healthy. SNT

Nepali brands of miscellaneous items, such as cosmetics, blankets and comforters, soaps and laundry detergent, lie in another aisle. Groups of families filter in and out. Customers come for groceries, but they also come to chat. Everyone who enters speaks Nepali. Siwakoti says he stops in the store at least once, sometimes twice, per day. He takes a bite of an unpaid-for plum as he talks in Nepali to Bharath Phuyel, the co-owner, cashier and lone employee working in the store. Phuyel, 26, wears a brown newsboy cap, jeans, and two jackets on this winter day. Siwakoti’s toddler rushes over to a low shelf with bags of Cheetos and KurKure, the Indian brand of the cheesy corn puffs. He chooses the Cheetos. He looks up at his father, shakes the bag, and begs for him to buy it. Siwakoti nods and puts the Cheetos on the counter. He then tries to negotiate the price of a bag of oranges and a crate of Cokes. Phuyel agrees and adds up the new total on a large calculator. The All Asian Store is beside the All American Market on Pond Street on Syracuse’s North Side, where the majority of Bhutanese-Nepali refugees live. Bhutanese-Nepali refugees come here because they can’t find Nepali food at Wegmans or Tops. The store orders all of its products from a wholesaler in New York City, which receives everything directly from Nepal. Phuyel drives to Manhattan every week to pick up the items. Phuyel has worked at the All Asian Store since it opened in late 2012. In the past two years, four more Nepali grocery stores as well as the first Nepali restaurant have opened their doors in Syracuse. “There’s a huge demand in our community for this food,” says Jai Subedi, the owner of the All Asian Store. Subedi also works as a caseworker for InterFaith Works Center for New Americans and serves as the president of the Bhutanese Community of Syracuse (BCS). When he first arrived, he would walk five miles to a Nepali grocery store in DeWitt, because he didn’t own a car and felt desperate for Nepali food. The Bhutanese are one of the largest refugee groups in the United States. Almost 7,000 Bhutanese-Nepali refugees have resettled in New York state over the past six years, according to the 2014 Worldwide Refugee Arrival Processing System report. About 4,000 of them live in Syracuse. Krishna Baskota, now an active board member of the BCS, fled Bhutan and its government’s ethnic cleansing policy at age 8 with his family in 1991. “They put us into a truck and dumped us on a river bank,” he says. First, he lived with his family in a plastic tent near the Mechi River, a trans-boundary river on the border of Nepal. Many people died from freezing temperatures, malaria and diarrhea, he says. Soon after, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees set up seven refugee camps in Nepal. Baskota lived in the Goldhap camp for 20 years. The UNHCR provided his family with two sets of clothes for two years and monthly food rations. In the Goldhap camp, he lived in a thatched hut made of mud, bamboo and green grass with eight other people. There, he learned English and worked as a math teacher. The United States accepted the greatest number of refugees, starting in 2008. Although 25,000 people still live in two of the camps today, according to the UNHCR, Baskota expects them to relocate soon to either America, the United Kingdom, Canada or Australia. The day after Baskota arrived in 2010, he worked with the Syracuse University Program for Refugee Assistance to teach English classes. “From the start, it felt like we needed a community,” Baskota says. He told himself, “If I have to start over, I will start over in the USA.” For him, this country’s initial letters instead stand for “U Start Again.” Baskota defines his greatest accomplishment in the United States as his purchase of his house last year. “Even some people who were born and worked all their lives in this country can’t do that,” he says. “It’s the dream of the American people to buy a house. We achieved the American dream.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Late 1800s 1958

The Bhutanese-Nepali Refugee Story The Bhutanese government began contracting Nepali people to foster cultivation in Southern Bhutan. Thousands of Nepali people emigrated to this area and produced the majority of the food for the country of Bhutan. Many of these immigrants, called the Lhotsampa, spoke Nepali and practiced Hinduism, remaining culturally Nepalese. By 1930, more than 60,000 people of Nepali origin lived in Bhutan.

The Bhutanese government revoked the Lhotsampas’ citizenship unless the population met two conditions: to prove they lived in Bhutan before 1958 and that the latest census counted them as legal residents.

1988

The Bhutanese government enacted the “One Nation, One People” policy in efforts to preserve a certain Bhutanese “culture.” This policy enforced that all citizens follow the Buddhist Ngalong ruling class’ language, dress and social etiquette. As a result, many Lhotsampa lost their citizenship and the use of their language, which the government outlawed in education.

19891990

The Lhotsampa attempted to both accommodate and protest. The Bhutanese government targeted the community, using arrests, rape and torture. Many of the Lhotsampa fled for Nepal, passing through India. Once they reached Nepal, the community begged for food from the local Nepali people. Diseases and child mortality rates escalated.

The Lhotsampa lived and raised families in the Nepali camps. At least a generation of children in the camps learned English and finished school. Although the Nepali government did not give them the right to work in Nepal, this law was not strictly enforced. The UNHCR provided food, clothing, fuel rations and thatched mud huts to the Lhotsampa.

The UNHCR started the “third country resettlement” policy. The U.S. government began accepting thousands of Bhutanese-Nepali refugees. More than 400 resettled in Syracuse.

Full Time Summer

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal and killed more than 5,000 people on April 25. The worst to hit the country since a 1934 temblor, the earthquake flattened the historic district in the country’s capital and most densely populated area, Kathmandu, and destroyed more than 70 percent of homes in the Lamjung district. Not only do aftershocks continue to jolt Nepal, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake near Mount Everest on May 12 has killed at least 48 people.

MARKET His home also serves as a symbol of his family’s pride for their Bhutanese-Nepali heritage. Artificial peach vines hang from the doorframes instead of doors. Purple and white flowers hang from rainbow lights strewn throughout the house. Illustrations of Hindu gods and goddesses and photos of family members are posted on the living room wall. A blue chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Baskota lives with his wife, Keshavi, who was his neighbor in the Goldhap camp, and his two children. He doesn’t spend much time at home, however, because he says he needs to provide for his family. He now works 12- to 16-hour days as a nurse on the cardiac unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Like Baskota, many Bhutanese-Nepali refugees also work 16-hour days and thus will not have the opportunity to spend as much time with their families. The stresses of providing for the family, lack of social support and family conflict after resettlement can be risk factors for depression and even suicide among the Bhutanese-Nepali refugee community, says Baskota. Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Refugee Health Technical Assistance Center of the Massachusetts Public Health Department performed “psychological autopsies” of recent Bhutanese-Nepali suicide victims as well as a general survey of the population to determine rates of mental health disorders. It found that the rate of depression among the Bhutanese-Nepalis surveyed was 21 percent, nearly three times that of the general U.S. population. Most of the suicides occurred within a year of resettlement to the states, and the victims hanged themselves in all cases. Baskota helped present the study at last year’s Community Initiative for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention conference in Harrisburg, Pa. “Many people are feeling like they are left behind,” Baskota says. He received training at the conference to screen Bhutanese-Nepali refugees who show symptoms of depression. He adds that as a healthcare worker, he finds it easier for him to screen people who may be at risk. Yet Baskota also admits that sometimes he won’t know about refugees’ depression unless they reach out or someone else notices. Over tea, they visit them in their homes and sit in their living rooms to discuss possible help. He says that he, Subedi and other members of the Bhutanese Community of Syracuse can knock on their doors at any time, describing the Bhutanese-Nepali refugees as a close-knit community. “We know everyone, and we all came from the same background and the same camps,” Baskota says. “We try to explain to them that this is not misbehavior. This is something that needs to be treated.” Depending on the severity of the case, Baskota then directs them to either their primary care provider or a psychiatrist for treatment. He says that most refugees work yet make little money, which causes stress. “Sometimes people are so depressed they can’t find a job, or they can’t do what they want to do in this country, and they take a path because they think it’s hopeless,” says Ngoc Huynh, job development manager at Catholic Charities of Onondaga County. Huynh also says that many community leaders work as allies or medical interpreters due to the language barrier. “If what they need are professional therapists or counselors, we don’t have enough counselors that speak Nepali,” she says. As the Bhutanese-Nepali population continues to grow in Syracuse, the refugees want a space where they can find the food they need, as well as a space to speak Nepali and feel part of a unified community. “We all speak the same language and eat the same food, so customers can come here and feel comfortable,” Subedi says of the All Asian Store. The majority of Bhutanese-Nepali refugees learned British English in the camps. However, many who are older than 50 cannot speak fluent English. Subedi, who fled Bhutan at age 12 and spent 18 years in a Nepali camp, says that much of his parents’

generation did not attend school or learn English in Nepal because they needed to care for their families. He says that his mother and father, both in their mid-50s, never received an English education. As a result, the older Bhutanese-Nepali immigrants have trouble finding jobs in the United States. However, even younger members of the community also find American English difficult to learn once they reach our shores. Many are enrolled in ESL classes to improve their English, Subedi says. Sita Kafley, 25, says she studied British English in the refugee camps. When she arrived in Syracuse in 2012, she could not understand the American accent. She continues to attend English classes at Catholic Charities’ Refugee Assistance Center. She says that she struggles to find employment due to her lack of English fluency. Over the past two years, she has held a variety of odd jobs, including as a line worker for a chicken company and a housekeeper for a nursing home. She applied for a cleaning position at a hotel but did not hear back. She also has a newborn son, who repeatedly suffers from ear infections. Kafley lies awake many nights to soothe his crying. She says she doesn’t know how she will pay for some of the doctor visits. Refugees face a greater risk of living on or below the poverty line because many work minimum wage jobs, says Huynh. And once refugees find work, they can no longer receive welfare. Huynh says that most refugee households need two incomes to survive in Syracuse. “If you’re going to wait for the system to take care of you, it’s not going to work,” Huynh says. “The system doesn’t care if you’re struggling.” The Bhutanese-Nepali community in Syracuse cares for each other. In the All Asian Store, Phuyel hands almost every customer paan, a Nepali chewing tobacco, which is wrapped in a ball with aluminum foil. Most do not pay for the paan or their groceries immediately. Phuyel keeps records

of his customers’ credit in five raggedy composition notebooks stacked on the counter. One customer didn’t have enough money to pay for his groceries, so Phuyel wrote down his balance in one of the notebooks. Whenever Bhutanese-Nepali refugee families have any type of problem, they call Subedi. His phone buzzes and rings relentlessly, and he jumps between conversations in English and Nepali. Before Subedi started his store, he says that the building was charged with 14 safety violations, and he worked for months to solve all of the issues. He now also manages the entire building as an unofficial landlord. Two Nepali families rent the second and third floors, and an American family lives on the fourth floor. “My job is 24/7 nonstop calling, sometimes in the middle of the night,” he says. He recalls the previous night, when a family called him at 4 a.m. just to talk and ask when he would get to his office the next day. He told them to visit him at InterFaith Works or the grocery store any time. At the store, a man wearing an “I Love NY” baseball cap picks up a long, green, bumpy vegetable, called karala, and adds it to his pile of groceries on the counter. As he waits for Phuyel to add the total, he drinks a glass-bottled Coke. Subedi says he notices that the Bhutanese-Nepalis assimilate into American culture after a few years. He says he especially worries that the younger generation will forget its history. But not all teenagers want to forget. Balika Kafley, 17, also stresses the importance of carrying on Nepali traditions. She first resettled in Boise, Idaho, in 2009 and moved closer to her family in Syracuse in 2012. She attends Henninger High School, wears hoodies and jeans, and owns an iPhone. She loves to dance American hip-hop to Michael Jackson’s song, “They Don’t Care About Us.” She listens to Selena Gomez, watches TV episodes of The Wizards of Waverly Place and Pretty Little Liars, and

admits she loves WWE wrestling. Kafley says she feels both Nepali and American. Like Subedi, she shows concern for her generation. “They think they’re more American,” she says. “I want everyone to know the struggles our community went through in Bhutan and Nepal and to remember everything, like the Nepali language. I don’t want them to forget. I tell everyone: Don’t forget your culture no matter what.” Kafley teaches her 3-year-old brother the Nepali alphabet. She also knows how to make momos, a Nepali dumpling, from scratch, and she has performed Nepali dance since age 5. Subedi agrees that the community needs to continue to build a sense of interconnectedness: “I am a little concerned about our values. We have very quickly integrated into American culture.” The BCS focuses on how the Bhutanese-Nepali community can preserve its identity and values in Syracuse, as well as address issues of mental illness. To help realize this goal, Subedi says the BCS hopes to create a community center on the North Side. Subedi and other members of his organization walk door to door almost daily to ask for donations. However, without the support of private donors, Baskota says they struggle to raise the funds. “They came to this country with a bag of clothes and no English,” says Baskota, who helps with fundraising. “They don’t have a lot of money to give, but a lot of people feel like we need the community center. Everyone has a job and needs to feed their family, but everyone is also hurting for a building to call our own.” The BCS wants to hold English language and citizenship classes, cultural dance events, and career development and youth mentoring programs in the center. Baskota believes that the next generation will have a great advantage, because most will grow up fully bilingual. His third-grade son, Anush, 8, can read on a fifth-grade level and his 5-year-old daughter, Aapshana, reads more difficult books than many of her peers. He says he tells Anush: “I came over and only had a couple of dollars in my pocket. I spent it in the airport to buy water for you.” Like his father, Anush practices Hinduism. Baskota hopes that they can find community in their religion, for which the Bhutanese government persecuted them 25 years ago. He looks forward to building a greater sense of community here in the United States. Subedi also agrees that the Bhutanese-Nepali refugees need the center in Syracuse. Subedi says if they can raise enough money, they will build the first Hindu temple in Syracuse as part of the center. “It’s not only for those who are working but also for future generations,” he says. “We want to teach them our own identity and values.” In the All Asian Store, traditional rainbow wedding dresses, called sari, and rolled posters of the Hindu god, Ganesha, sit in cubbies behind the counter. Subedi says that the community needs to preserve all aspects of Bhutanese-Nepali culture, even the daily practice of chewing paan. Another 20-something customer, Rajan Pradhan, comes to the store at least once every day. Today, he visited four times and came again to chat with Phuyel. He hands Pradhan the supplies to make a fresh packet of paan: tobacco, chunks of a roasted betel nut, a green leaf, sweets and lime paste. He first smears the gooey lime paste on the betel leaf. He then sprinkles a bit of the roasted betel nut, sweets and tobacco. Finally, he wraps the leaf into a neat package and sticks it into his mouth. Phuyel says something in Nepali and Pradhan laughs, the paan bulging out of his cheek. SNT

What’s on Seth Glier’s iPod? Music from Earth, Wind and Fire, Greg Holden and Sara Bareilles.

By Jessica Novak Seth Glier.

FOLKUS FINALE FEATURES SETH GLIER

A

t age 12 Seth Glier started writing songs on Sept. 11, 2001, provoked by the events of the day. In 2009, he dropped out of the Berklee College of Music and focused on building a studio in his parents’ basement, where he recorded his first album, The Trouble With People. In 2010, his next album, The Next Right Thing, was nominated for a Grammy Award. “It opened a lot of doors,” he recalls about the nomination. “It opened up new territory I might not have gone into on my own, whether it was looking at studios, producers, things like that. It was also a grand distraction. The Grammys are kind of like running for class president in high school. “It took about a year of that process to come back around and realize that what I had set out to do was very, very simple,” Glier continues. “I just want to connect the right song to the right time. You know when you hear the right song in a moment and it changes your life. For me, I wanted to put myself as a facilitator in those situations. It took me a while to recognize that was the importance.” Glier’s performance on Friday, May 15, 8 p.m., at May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, 3800 E. Genesee St., will close out the Folkus Project’s concert season. Tickets are $15. Visit folkus.org for more information. Glier, who grew up in the small western Massachusetts town of Shelburne Falls, always con-

sidered himself as an old soul. “I was the weird seventh-grader on the bus listening to Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman and Jackson Browne,” he says, noting the enduring aspects of those songs, as well as those of Frank Sinatra. They were the kind of pop songs that remain relevant even two and three generations later. “I feel like that may have been lost in pop music now,” he says. “But it still has a place there. Timeless content will always belong.” Glier’s home life as a child also helped form his songwriter ambitions. “My brother is special needs, non-verbal. It didn’t hit until later, but I realized that as I started having some success as a songwriter, a lot of observation goes into songwriting. A lot of observation went into being a care provider for someone who can’t speak what he needs or wants, too. Observation is the same thread.” Glier’s songs reflect that observation of life in his tales of love and living. Songs like “Naia,” which won “Best Love Song” at the 10th annual Indepen-

dent Music Awards in 2011, feature lyrics that people everywhere can relate to: “I seem to spend all of my money on the pretty girls/ And always put my friendship on the shelf/ Naia says that I’m always angry at the world/ It’s cause I get so lonely when I show myself/ I want to show myself.” Since his 2010 Grammy nomination, Glier has released the albums Things I Should Let You Know (2013) and If I Could Change One Thing (2015), shared stages with James Taylor, Mark Knopfler, the Verve Pipe, Edwin McCain and Ani DiFranco and been compared by USA Today to music greats Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. He averages 250 gigs yearly and will hit music festivals throughout the country this summer. “I’m making sure I tour,” he says. “I’m really, really proud of this new record (If I Could Change One Thing). I owe it to myself to see where it goes, see if I can turn the page a little bit. That’s where my priority is. I’m always writing, but not always consciously for the next project. I’m waiting to see where this one can go with the right leverage and a little bit of luck.” SNT

Advice from the Artist:

“For someone starting out as a songwriter, make two lists. One is of all the things you do really, really well. The other is of all the things you don’t do really, really well. Take the list of things you do really well and throw it away. I think there are so many amazingly talented people out there and I can’t go out for a weekend without seeing everybody doing something way better than me. Success has less to do with mastery and way more to do with authenticity and the idiosyncrasies of how you say something unlike how anybody has ever said it before. Lean into all those things that are incorrect.”

SHARK BAIT ON THE KITCHEN MENU

A REVIEW

dam Bock was still an unknown playwright in February 2003, when Ithaca’s Kitchen Theatre Company took a risk by slating his Swimming in the Shallows two years before its award-winning debut in New York City.

Since then his work has been produced everywhere, he’s won an Obie and further awards, and his name is commonly cited with such wits as Sarah Rule (The Clean House), Annie Baker (Circle Mirror Transformation) and David Henry Hwang (Chinglish). Now that the Kitchen is nearing a 25th anniversary and thinking about commemorating happy successes, Swimming is back with two of the same cast members and the same director. Except for one or two dated references, like smoking sections in restaurants, the show feels fresher than it did the first time around. All the issues in Swimming, like love, commitment, reckless choices and consumerism, are real, but Bock kicks aside conventions to portray them. In the opening scene two women, the married Barb (Karina Arroyave) and the single Carla Carla (Lesley Gurule), are talking about a series of unrelated topics, like birthdays and getting married. We gradually realize that Barb is not stumbling on her pal’s name. It really is the double-decker “Carla Carla.” We are never told how this anomaly should have cropped up, and soon we shrug off any question of its signifi-

cance. If we can accept this, why shouldn’t we accept a talking shark? It’s tempting to class Swimming in the Shallows as “magical realism,“ that fashionable term from Latin America, but Bock is more fundamental. He’s anti-realistic, not unlike centuries of folk tales with talking trees and dancing fiddles. Only his creations have more wit. Before the Shark (Peterson Townsend) found his current slot at an aquarium in Rhode Island, he used to sell Avon. Dancing from realism into anti-realism is Bock’s ability to talk about two themes at one time, when one is a distraction and the other is the motive. Similar approaches are found in Harold Pinter plays, Quentin Tarantino movies and Stephen Sondheim lyrics, only Bock is more frolicsome, teasing rather than challenging. We’re never left behind in knowing what’s happening. The spritz comes when one displaces the other. Diminutive Barb wants to get shed of her burdensome possessions, right after Carla Carla gives her a hideous piece of orange junk as a wedding present. She wants to emulate those Buddhist monks who

limit themselves to owning eight things; having too much stuff makes her feel “heavy.” She sells what she can in a yard sale at bargain prices, but her much-maligned husband Bob (Dean Robinson) takes the profits to buy even more. In a showoff verbal riff that sounds like a mix of Tom Stoppard and Abbott and Costello, Barb and Bob banter brutally about the best buy on a Buick. Unobtrusively, we notice that the only couple is heterosexual. Carla Carla’s thoughts about marriage are with the often-uniformed Donna (Lena Kaminsky) but she can’t stand her smoking. Donna has heard this message before but likes to smoke. In another of Bock’s coruscating set pieces, Donna debates obsessions and behavior over a week with Nick (Karl Gregory), who has his own dangerous habits. Looking for love in all the wrong places, he’s been hooking up repeatedly and just as quickly dropped. Maybe he could have something more lasting with a strong guy of constant character, like a shark. As conspicuously verbal as Swimming in the Shallows might be, director Rachel Lampert was a choreographer first. The show is almost as much a dance display as it is wordplay, most notably in the scene where Nick dreams that the Shark is coming to make love to him. Karl Gregory as Nick is one of two repeats from the 2003 production (Dean Robinson’s Bob is the other), and his lissome vitality has not shrunk in a dozen years. His gift for desperate absurdity is put to good use. It’s understandable that he cites Nick as one of his big successes. Lampert’s hand also guides Peterson Townsend in proving to us that he is indeed a shark. He has only a black fin on his back. Everything else is in the smooth, self-confident, threatening walk. SNT

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

ARIES. (March 21-April 19) The danger of

resisting a temptation too strenuously is that the temptation might depart. I suggest that you prevent that from happening. Without throwing yourself at the mercy of the temptation, see if you can coax it to stick around for a while longer. Why? In my view, it’s playing a useful role in your life. It’s motivating you to change some things that really do need to be changed. On the other hand, I’m not yet sure that it should become anything more than a temptation. It might serve you best that way, not as an object of your satisfied desire.

TAURUS. (April 20-May 20) My astrological colleagues discourage me from talking to you Bulls about financial matters. “Most Tauruses know 10 times more about the mystery of money than you will ever know,” said one. “Their excellent instincts trump any tips you could offer.” Another astrologer concurred, noting, “The financial advice you give Tauruses will at best be redundant and at worst simplistic.” A third colleague summed it up: “Offering Tauruses guidance about money is like counseling Scorpios about sex.” So although I’m shy about providing recommendations, I will say this: The next five weeks will be a favorable time to set in motion the plans to GET RICHER QUICKER! GEMINI. (May 21-June 20) “Endings to be useful must be inconclusive,” wrote science fiction novelist Samuel R. Delany. I endorse that theory for your use in the coming weeks. Interweave it with this advice from playwright Sam Shepard: “The temptation toward resolution, toward wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. Why not be more honest with the moment? The most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving toward another beginning.” In other words, Gemini, don’t be attached to neat finales and splashy climaxes. Consider the possibility that you can simply slip free of the complicated past and head toward the future without much fanfare. CANCER. (June 21-July 22) In mythic terms, you should be headed for the winner’s circle, which is inside the pleasure dome. The parade in your honor should follow the award ceremony, and let’s hope you will be on the lead float wearing a gold crown and holding a real magic wand while being sung to by a choir of people you love and who love you. If for any reason you are not experiencing some version of these metaphors, I urge you to find out why. Or better yet, get busy on planning a homecoming or graduation party or award ceremony for yourself. From an astrological perspective, you have a mandate to be recognized and appreciated for the gifts you offer the world. LEO. (July 23-Aug. 22) British Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley was a brilliant military commander. Renowned for his ability to beat larger armies, he also had great skill at minimizing loss of life among his own troops. His most famous triumph took place in 1815, when he led the forces that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo. In the aftermath, the French tyrant lost his power and went into exile. What was the secret of Wellesley’s success? “Bonaparte’s plans were made in wire,” he said. “Mine were made in string.” In other words, Wellesley’s strategy was more flexible and adaptable. As circumstances changed, it could be rearranged with greater ease. That’s the approach I recommend for you in the coming days. VIRGO. (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may not be

strong enough to take a shot at a daunting challenge that’s five levels beyond your previous best. But I think you are at least ready to try a tricky challenge that’s one level higher than where you have been operating. And that, in my opinion, is a more practical use of your courage. I think it would be a waste of your energy to get wrapped up in grandiose fantasies about impossible perfections. As long as you don’t overreach, you can accomplish small miracles.

by Rob Brezsny

LIBRA. (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I suspect you are

about to experience some prime contenders for The Most Unusual Adventures of 2015. Are you thoroughly prepared? Of course not. There’s no way you can be totally ready to adapt to unpredictable wrinkles and change your mind at a moment’s notice. But that’s exactly what will make these experiments so fun. That’s why they will be effective in building up your resilience and willpower. For best results, apply your nighttime thinking to daytime activities, and vice versa. Spend minimal time on responsibilities that don’t teach you noble truths about your fellow madmen and madwomen. Now here’s my big question: How can you tap into the extra power you will need during your rite of passage?

SCORPIO. (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Many modern astronomers are allergic to astrology, but from my perspective there is no inherent conflict between the two fields. Four of history’s greatest astronomers were practicing astrologers, after all: Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe and Pierre Gassendi. One of my friends in college, a Scorpio woman named Martha Maiden, is a first-rate astrologer who got a degree in astronomy and became a top scientist at NASA. In the spirit of finding reconciliation between apparent opposites, I’m happy to say that you are now a virtual virtuoso in your ability to reconcile both apparent opposites and actual opposites. I invite you to use this aptitude with flair and daring. SAGITTARIUS. (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sagittar-

ian Matt Stutzman competes in the sport of archery. He’s the world’s record holder for longest accurate shot, having hit a target 230 yards away. What makes his accomplishment so extraordinary is the fact that he was born without any arms. He holds each arrow in his mouth and grasps the bow with his right foot and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit of this armless archer, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I invite you to initiate an attempt to triumph over one of your so-called disadvantages.

CAPRICORN. (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Long before

Lou Reed recorded the song “Walk on the Wild Side,” Nelson Algren wrote a novel titled A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts the luxuriant depravity of New Orleans’ French Quarter in the 1930s. One of Algren’s most enduring bits of spiritual advice goes as follows: “Never, ever, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own.” What do you think of that, Capricorn? Even if you don’t regard it as a universal rule that you should unfailingly obey, I suggest you observe it in the coming weeks. For the sake of your mental hygiene, be extra discerning about what influences you absorb — not just in bed, but everywhere.

AQUARIUS. (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The cosmos has authorized you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel free to respond to your enhanced hunger with an extra aggressive quest to be fed. Therefore: Be voracious! Risk being avid, ardent and even agog. Fill yourself up with pudding, pleasure, praise, peace, perks and privileges. Anything else you’d like to engorge? If some unenlightened person questions your right to claim the biggest piece and the sweetest taste and the best fuel, inform them that your astrologer says you have ultimate permission. PISCES. (Feb. 19-March 20) Is there an interesting ally whose path rarely crosses yours? Do you draw inspiration from a like-minded dynamo who is not fully available? Has fate kept you and a friend from getting as close as you would wish? According to my reading of the astrological omens, relationships like these could become more substantial in the coming weeks. The dream of a more robust connection could ripen into an opportunity to actually collaborate. So be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do what’s necessary to go deeper.
