Writer Tina Schwab profiles local author Maggie Simone and her new book on compulsive disorders

STARTING POINT I’m disappointed to see that the intense acrimony between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York State United Teachers Union seems to be escalating.

As the budget discussions have concluded, it would seem time to mend fences and talk about how to deliver the best primary and secondary education possible. A New York state education used to rank among the world’s best, and our teachers are considered among the best trained. Many parents are now actively campaigning against the state’s Common Core, and are planning to opt their kids out of standardized testing because they don’t believe it is helping to deliver a better education for their kids. How have we gone so far astray with parents, teachers and the state all at odds?

School boards need accountability, parents want a way to identify and remove poor-performing teachers, and communities want cost controls and predictability. Teachers need safe, supportive classrooms, fair standards to be measured against, and the ability to participate in the deliberations on how best to deliver Photography by on their mission. My LiberMichael Davis, tarian bent says there is enough brain Cover design by Meaghan Arbital power in our community to figure this problem out. Do we really need the state telling us how to accomplish this task?

I’m encouraged that the Syracuse City School District realizes this and has What’s buzzing opened a dialogue the most. with the community to give us a chance to weight in. Visit www. syracusecityschools. com and click the yellow “Let’s Talk!”

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH AREA

Compiled by Roland Sweet

Rocco Tumbarello, 41, stole stuff from a home in West Boynton, Fla., authorities there said, but he didn’t get far. He lives across the TAKE street. The victim came home to find his 42inch TV and his mother’s laptop gone, the sheriff’s report said, and spotted his neighbor “running across the street with his television in his hands.” (South Florida Sun Sentinel)

Curses, Foiled Again

The civil marriage of Zubair Khan, 48, and Beata Szilagyi, 33, was exposed as a ruse to skirt British immigration laws when Khan couldn’t remember Szilagyi’s name. He delayed the ceremony to call his marriage broker for the name. The suspicious registrar called authorities, who arrested bride and groom for what Home Office immigration official Andy Sharpe called “a farcical, but nonetheless serious attempt.” (New York Daily News)

It Happens

U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted job opportunities for doctors to help monitor suspected smugglers’ bowel movements at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Applicants must be available around the clock to use X-rays to examine body cavities of suspected “swallowers.” If drugs or other contraband materials are detected, “the detainee may be held for a monitored bowel movement (MBM) to wait the passage of the contraband,” according to the CBP, which uses a high-tech toilet to recover the material from the waste passed by the suspected smuggler.

(The Washington Times)

Nothing to Fear Here

The month after an inebriated government employee crashed a small drone on the White House lawn, the Secret Service announced plans to test its own “unmanned aircraft systems” to help protect the White House from drone attacks and other incursions. “I don’t think we’re talking about a battle of drones in the skies,” Michael Drobac, executive director of the pro-drone Small UAV Coalition, said. “This isn’t Battlestar Galactica gone drone. I think this is simply an ability to monitor. I’m confident they’re not intending to use weaponized drones.” (The Washington Times)

Because It’s There

Human waste left by climbers on Mount Everest is causing pollution and threatening to spread disease, according to the head of Nepal’s mountaineering association. Ang Tshering told reporters that more than 700 foreign climbers and guides spend two months climbing the world’s tallest peak during the brief climbing season, leaving feces and urine at four camps where the climbers stay to

acclimate themselves to the altitude. “Climbers usually dig holes in the snow for their toilet use and leave the human waste there,” Tshering said, adding the waste has been “piling up” for years. (Associated Press)

Nut-Job Update

Cho Hyn-ah, the former Korean Air vice president who ordered a plane back to its gate after a first-class flight attendant served her macadamia nuts in an unopened package instead of on a plate, received a year in prison for violating aviation safety law. Park Chang-jin, the steward who was removed from the plane, said Cho, one of South Korea’s wealthiest women, forced him and the junior attendant to apologize on their knees, “like slaves in a medieval era.” (The New York Times)

Pharmaceutical Follies

Mary McKaig, 54, asked a Florida court to void her online bid of $100,500 for a foreclosed home because she was under the influence of “judgment-altering” prescription diet pills.

After her bid was accepted, McKaig discovered the property has more than $400,000 of debt. “The diet pill seems like a convenient excuse for not doing their research before bidding,” said Lloyd McClendon, CEO of RealAuction.com, which handled the transaction. (ABC News)

FAMILIARITY BREEDS ATTEMPT

Christopher Miller, 41, served 15 years in prison for robbing three businesses, including a Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River, N.J. The day after he was paroled, he returned to the same Stride Rite store and robbed the same clerk, who had been notified of Miller’s release.

Miller pleaded guilty and faces 10 to 20 years in prison. (NJ.com)

KATKO ON ISIS, WIRETAPS AND RAIL CARS

O

n that first sunny day of spring, April 2, Rep. John Katko had just completed his first quarter representing Syracuse and the surrounding areas in New York’s 24th Congressional District when I asked him about several issues that should be familiar to Syracuse New Times readers.

ISIS and Shades of Gray Katko has been appointed to the Bipartisan Task Force on Combating Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Threat. Given that role, I asked him if he believed that President Obama had authority to conduct air strikes, and to provide advisers and arms to forces fighting ISIS. “I think if it rises to the level of an armed conflict, the War Powers Act mandates that the president work with Congress on it,” Katko said. “Even if it technically doesn’t require congressional action, it’s probably a good idea from a consensus standpoint that he work with Congress.

“Obama has reached out to Congress,” said Katko, which he says is “always advisable. From a legal standpoint, under the War Powers Act that’s kind of a gray area.” To station troops on the ground, he said without hesitation, would require further legislative action.

Patriot Act and Government Snooping Katko sits on the House Committee on Homeland Security. From that seat he’ll have to review sections of the post-9/11 national security law known as the 04.08.15 - 04.14.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

Patriot Act. Section 215 of that law has been cited by both the Bush and Obama administrations to justify their collection of data on U.S. Citizens’ phone calls and emails. It expires in June. Will Katko vote to renew that provision?

“Not in its current form,” Katko answered. “I don’t agree with it. I’m concerned from a privacy standpoint. I’ve been doing wiretaps for 20 years (as a federal prosecutor). We got a court order for everything we needed and we had to prove to a judge why we needed it. I don’t think you can just throw out that standard. Of course we have to balance the privacy issues with the national security issues, and I’m not sure the first round of the Patriot Act did that well enough.” Katko said he hasn’t seen proposed language yet, but would like to see “substantial safeguards on how they use the information.”

Trains That Go Boom Katko has sat in on a few hearings about rail shipments of Bakken crude, the volatile oil that chugs through Central New York every day on the railroad tracks.

“This is very serious,” he said. “These trains come

right through the heart of Syracuse. It’s frightening to think how much crude comes through the middle of this city every day. A couple of years ago they had a train derailment right off I-81 that caused the Syracuse University homecoming football game to be delayed. Highly volatile crude oil. Highly flammable. One hundred car trains going through every day — that’s a real concern.”

Katko worries that these trains could prove a target for terrorists. “Law enforcement,” he said, “should be dealing with a terrorist-type incident with respect to the trains and practicing how to respond.”

Then he had this to say about President Obama and environmentalists opposing the Keystone pipeline. “Why are these trains coming through here? If there is a pipeline, a lot of these trains wouldn’t be coming through here. I don’t know if there were ever plans for this to hook up with Keystone, but a pipeline is safer.

That’s a fact.

“I’ve sat in on a hearing where members from the rail industry were asking Congress for more regulation. I repeat, they wanted more regulation to come out regarding specifications for upgrades of rail cars that are transporting this volatile crude. They’ve been asking for it for years, and this administration, for whatever reason, has just dragged its feet. That to me is the height of irresponsibility by the Obama administration. They (the rail companies) are asking for some clarity, and then they’re going to invest.”

He agreed that any such changes will take years. So what would he say to parents who send their children to trackside schools or senior citizens whose windows look out on the train yards?

“Local law enforcement and first responders need to prepare and conduct drills,” he said. Katko added that he has tasked his district office director, Tom Connellan, with “reaching out to local law enforcement to see if there is anything that we can do.” SNT

AN INDIANA JONES FOR HOMO SWEET HOME

H

omophobes always make me suspicious that they’re gay. Don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean to imply that every black-hearted gay basher sneaks off to Bear Week in Provincetown or secretly knows the Cole Porter songbook by heart.

But why would anyone obsess about someone else’s sexual orientation—or anything else, for that matter—if he didn’t find it deeply compelling? If Fred has season tickets to the New York Yankees, appears constantly in New York Yankees attire and can recite the WAR (Wins Above Replacement) of every Yankee living and dead, isn’t it weird if he insists that he hates baseball?

Using that theory, I’ve been grappling with a double-barreled question: Can an entire state be secretly gay? And, if so, is Indiana the gayest state in the Union?

As national outrage—reflected in part by Syracuse banning travel to Indiana for city employees—humbled the Hoosier State into softening an anti-gay law, I spent last week researching the ins and outs, if you will, of gay subtexts embedded in the state’s history and culture.

Jackpot! Strip away the veneer of hypocrisy, and Indiana makes Provincetown look like a Southern Baptist convention.

Wanna talk famous movies set in Indiana? Here’s a hint: Boys, boys, boys!

04.08.15 - 04.14.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

Breaking Away: Young men in tight-fitting bicycle shorts challenge young Italian men in tight-fitting bicycle shorts. One of the Italians jams a pump in Dave’s wheel. Gee, subtle.

Hoosiers: More sweaty boys in shorts, and locker room scenes to boot. And two coaches, both men, played by Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper, who share an inseparable bond, regardless of what the townsfolk whisper. Swish!

In and Out: At his Academy Award acceptance speech for Best Actor, Cameron (Matt Dillon) praises his former high school teacher, Howard (Kevin Kline), and then outs him, announcing “and he’s gay!” It’s set in the fictional town of Greenleaf, Ind. My only quibble is that the film wasn’t set in totally gay-sounding French Lick, Rocky Ripple, South Bend or Santa Claus, which is named after a dominant elf who sports a red plushie suit and orders submissive elves to make toys. Nothing gay about that, right?

Gay touchstones, if you will, abound in Indiana.

For The Music Man, composer Meredith Willson wrote the iconic song “Gary, Indiana.” There now

exists a parody song, “Fairy, Indiana,” that celebrates gay marriage. The musical/ movie features an all-boy marching band festooned in tassels and shiny buttons.

The main character has a librarian for a beard. Did I mention those 76 tromboners? Oops. I’m so sorry. That was a typo.

At what point does Indiana fess up to its gayness? Probably never, but that won’t change the reality. One of its most famous bars is the Slippery Noodle. Orville Wright, suspected of being gay, spent his formative years in Richmond. There’s no evidence that popcorn mogul Orville Redenbacher (what’s with all the Orvilles, anyway?) was gay, but he seemed determined to look the part.

The unofficial state food is the corn dog. Hmmm. Barely closeted Cole Porter was born in Peru, Ind. The world’s only superhero museum is in Elkhart. An online review states: “A Batpole descends from the floor above. Visitors are kept off the Batpole by insurance restrictions, but Allan happily slid down for us.” I bet he did.

Alexandria boasts the world’s largest ball of paint, approximately two tons and still growing as visitors apply countless layers of paint. “Mike’s willingness to share his ball with others has moved him to promote it as a hands-on tourist attraction,” RoadsideAmerica.com informs us.

Hard as it is to resist the tug of Mike’s colorful ball, do call ahead if you go.

Speaking of balls, I’ll close where I began—with baseball. Republican Phillip Hinkle—rhymes with winkle—was once an anti-gay-marriage Indiana state representative. Then, in 2011, he admitted to paying an 18-year-old man he met through Craigslist for “a good time.” The lawmaker insisted that the two just talked about baseball. The kid claimed Hinkle grabbed his ass.

You’re up, Indiana. In baseball and in life, you can’t win if you always hit for the visiting team. SNT

M Writer Tina Schwab profiles local author Maggie Simone and her new book on compulsive disorders

04.08.15 - 04.14.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

aggie Simone needs you to know she is OK. At age 53, she leads a life so complete, so comfortable, it borders on cliché: suburban home, loving husband and children, satisfying career. And she takes none of it for granted. She even has the dog of her childhood dreams (a golden retriever, of course).

She’s just having a moment … and another … and another. “I am so nervous,” Simone says in a whisper. “I keep wondering if it is too late to stop this.”

“This” is Simone’s book, Body Punishment: OCD, Addiction and Finding the Courage to Heal, scheduled for publication this month by Central Recovery Press. And its compelling narrative is driven by the days when Simone was most definitely less than OK. As Simone shares her tale of decades of pain, the reader winces, worries and, ultimately, breathes a sigh of relief at the happy, and healthy, ending.

Simone knows now she didn’t have much, if any, control over her story’s beginning. Her earliest memories are of hurting herself—picking at her skin, plucking at her eyelashes and eyebrows—and then being sick from the shame of it.

As she grew into a young woman, Simone’s compulsions continued and the need to numb that shame manifested in struggles with alcoholism and

anorexia, a suicide attempt, and a string of failed relationships. By age 30, she sobered up and discovered the healing power, for her, of martial arts. Yet Simone’s self-injury and other obsessions such as counting continued, unspoken and unnamed, until she became a parent and sought help for similar behavior in her young daughter.

“For almost 40 years, I thought I was simply a melting pot for crazy,” Simone writes in Body Punishment. “But I wasn’t. Almost all of my ‘bizarre’ behaviors were explained by one section in the latest comprehensive Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. What I have falls under the heading of obsessive-compulsive disorders.”

Finally, Simone had a name, trichotillomania or TTM, for her hair plucking, and excoriation, for skin picking. “And if they have names, then I cannot possibly be the only person to have experienced them. Yet for almost 40 years, I thought I was.”

That could have been the end. It would be a lot easier for Simone to keep her story to herself, and she weighed carefully the opinion of family and friends who told her as much.

(Full disclosure: As Simone’s former editor at Family Times: The Parenting Guide of Central New York, and current friend, this writer read an early, unedited draft of Body Punishment and harbors no pretense of objectivity about this project.)

A longtime columnist for Family Times, Simone had written before about her alcoholism and her belief that the isolation of shame is debilitating. Her column has consistently won readers and awards for its smart reflections on being an imperfect but joyful parent. The impulse behind Body Punishment was much the same.

“As a kid, all I knew was this: I was a freak, and I was alone,” Simone writes. And that is where she returns when family and friends ask her, “Why?” Why write this book, why poke at scars, why risk your own upset?

“It’s the shame that holds you back, not the OCD,” Simone explains. “If you can say it, the stigma is gone. Nobody bats an eye if you say you have diabetes or fallen arches. Maybe you even get more respect for going through life with this challenge. It’s the stigma that holds people back.”

Simone started writing Body Punishment seven years ago and, during that time, has only become more certain that the reward, of offering a lifeline to others, outweighs the risks.

“What am I risking: being uncomfortable? I’ve been uncomfortable my whole freakin’ life,” Simone says.

Simone hopes her book, which is written for an adult audience, will help parents, in particular, start a conversation. “It gives them a talking point, a way to say, ‘I just read

this book about this woman who pulled her eyelashes out. I notice sometimes you have clumps missing. Can we talk about it?’”

But, she warns, it will not be easy. “You will be met with resistance. They have spent their lives hiding it.” For Simone, therapy, and medication for the anxiety that triggers her OCD,

“For almost 40 years, I thought I was simply a melting pot for crazy.”

has been liberating and has made her strong enough to speak up.

The one message she feels children, in particular, need to hear: “There’s nobody out there that doesn’t feel ashamed about something.

Get your secret out there.”

That said, Simone did draw some boundaries while going public with her story. Her family is unnamed, as is the city that served as the backdrop for many of her most painful moments. “I think I created a book I won’t be embarrassed for my children to read. There’s nothing here that doesn’t advance the story.”

TOPIC: OPINION

By Thea St. Omer

EDITOR’S NOTE: Earlier this year Armory Square entrepreneur Thea St. Omer proposed writing an op-ed piece on her two separate incidents involving Syracuse police officers for the Syracuse New Times.

St. Omer, 41, had just closed her gallery, Armory Square Loft, 136 Walton St., yet she was enthusiastic about reopening the space as a creative lounge to be renamed Tea’s Tavern. Following the March 21 grand opening, however, St. Omer disappeared from public view, as friends became increasingly concerned. On April 3, Syracuse Police discovered St. Omer’s body at her business, with her death labeled “suspicious,” although a preliminary autopsy suggests that no foul play had occurred. Beyond her artistic pursuits, St. Omer was also a filmmaker whose documentary on the N-word received a 2009 screening at ArtRage Gallery. She seemed genuinely excited that the Syracuse New Times would publish her article, although no one knew that it would also become a posthumous farewell.

A TALE OF TWO TRAFFIC STOPS

With all of the controversy surrounding a very real issue plaguing our country— so-called “white” police brutality and so-called “black” victims—I thought I would share some humor and/or horror (depending on your stance) and relate a recent exchange with a “white” Syracuse policeman who, rightly and justifiably, pulled me over while I was driving alone at night.

I saw his lights flashing in my rearview window. “Oh no,” I thought. “I can’t afford another ticket.” I have parking tickets yet to be paid and some other township driving violations I have amassed in my frequent car trips exploring the Central New York region. “How can I possibly pay my boutique’s rent and electricity with another ticket?”

I pulled over and sat very still in my car.

My hands were purposely placed high on either side of the steering wheel, as I’d been instructed years ago by a dear friend whose skin color, like mine, favors the darker side of the color spectrum, “black.”

“They don’t see you as Thea,” he said.

“They see you, first and foremost, as a black person. When they approach, especially at night, they have their hands on their guns. And if you have your hat and hoodie on, ‘driving while black’, forget about it. Get used to it!”

Sadly, I have gotten used to it. I have been stopped by “white” policemen (sometimes justifiably, sometimes not) several times while driving alone, sporting my hat and hoodie (as I often feel cold) at night.

The penultimate time that a “white” Syracuse policeman stopped me while driving alone at night, he said it was

“Why are you giving me attitude?” he asked.

“I’m just asking you questions,” I said. “Is that giving you attitude?”

His fat pale face reddened. I vividly remember how visibly angry he became. I watched the contours of his face carefully. His temples throbbed. He stood inches from me, fuming, and looked directly in my eyes.

“I’m going to call back up,” he said angrily, “before this escalates.”

“Before what escalates?” I asked. “I’m just asking you questions.”

“I could arrest you,” he threatened. “I could handcuff you, put you in the back of the car and take you to the station.”

I stood very still and bowed my head, looking at the ground.

Primitive instinct, basic human survival, what we do innately when facing a wild animal or a rabid dog: acquiesce and avoid all eye contact.

“I could arrest you,” he repeated.

“For what?” I asked softly, still looking at the ground.

“For driving with suspended insurance,” he said.

“My insurance is not suspended,” I said. I spoke softly but firmly.

“Our machines don’t lie,” he said.

“If you have your hat and hoodie on, ‘driving while black’, forget about it. Get used to it!”

because “you touched the center white line while driving.”

“You stopped me for that?” I asked.

“I did,” he said.

He said that he ran my plates and that my car insurance was suspended. I told him that I had paid my insurance the previous month and was days away from paying it that month, abiding by the due date.

“Well, you’ll have to contact the DMV,” he said.

He instructed me to exit my vehicle. I stood on the street, alone in the dark, as he entered my car and began riffling through its contents. I felt violated.

“What are you looking for?” I exclaimed. “What do you expect to find?”

“Look, lady,” he answered. “I don’t know you at all. You could have knives and guns.”

“Oh yes,” I retorted, “I could have knives and guns.” I was seething.

“How old are you?” he asked as he approached me. He had my license. He could do the math.

“Why are you asking me that?” I said. He said he would have my car towed and wanted to know if there was somebody I could call to come pick me up.

“Why are you asking me whom I’m calling to come to pick me up? What business is it of yours?”

“But you do,” I thought. “Tell me the real reason you stopped me.”

The two backup police officers arrived, both “white,” one female. I approached her. “Ask him why he pulled me over,” I whispered so she alone could hear.

“I’m not going to do that,” she whispered back.

“Please,” I whispered earnestly, looking directly in her eyes.

She looked at me, and she must have seen something in my eyes. She approached him casually.

“What’d she do?” she asked him.

“She crossed the white center line while driving,” he said.

“Crossed?” I said. “When you stopped you said I ‘touched’ the white center line while driving. And somehow, between now and then, I managed to cross it?”

He glared at me. “She’s giving me attitude,” he told his colleagues.

“Thank you for coming. I feel more comfortable with you both being here,” I said to his colleagues.

“That wasn’t very smart of you, fighting with a policeman like that,” a family member told me after I had shared the details with her. “You, of all people, know what a dangerous situation you were in, and how badly it could have all ended.”

“But he angered me so,” I said.

“Because you let him,” she said calmly. “You gave him that power, which is all he wanted in the first place. And you engaged with him. You always ask yourself in situations like those, ‘Do I rise above? Or do I let them drag me down to their level?’”

“You are an infinitely better person than I am,” I said.

“No, just a little older and with more experience,” she said quiNEXT PAGE syracusenewtimes.com | 04.08.15 - 04.14.15

etly. “Let’s just hope that same policeman never pulls you over again when you are driving alone at night. Because he can do anything.”

But let me get back to recounting the rather lovely exchange I had with a so-called “white” Syracuse policeman recently.

“Hello,” the officer greeted me as he stood alongside my car.

“Hello,” I said, my hands resting high above on the steering wheel.

“How are you tonight?” He asked.

“OK,” I said. “How are you?”

“Fine, thank you,” he said, nodding.

“Did I do something?” I asked.

“Where are you coming from?” he asked.

My instinct, remembering my previous encounter with the Syracuse police officer, was to say, “Why are you asking me that?” I

Then he asked for my driver’s license. Panic! For a moment I wondered if I had left my purse at my shop. “Oh dear!” I said. “My license. Now where is that?” I wondered out loud as I searched the cotton handbag buried under myriad items below my glove compartment.

“Oh yes,” I squealed in relief. “Here it is!” I grabbed my purse and handed it to him.

“Actually,” he said, “could you please get your license out for me yourself?” Unlike the previous policeman who unjustifiably entered and raided my car, this officer refused to even touch my purse.

“Oh yes, of course,” I said. I handed him my license. He looked curiously at it.

“Is it valid?” he asked. Disappointedly, I looked at him. It was the first suggestion that he thought I was a criminal.

“You think I’m driving with a fake license?” I asked. “You think I’d do that?”

“No,” he said, shaking his head apologetically. “I mean is it valid? Not suspended? No outstanding tickets?”

“No,” I said. “At least I don’t think so. Well, actually, I do have parking tickets. At least two. One has just gone into collections.”

He simply listened. Then he asked, “Registration?” was physically and emotionally exhausted, sleep deprived, working I felt frazzled. “Isn’t this it?” I asked, pointing to the pertwo additional jobs, one an overnight position, in order to keep my mits taped to the window. boutique running.

“Do you know how fast you were going?” he asked.

“No,” I said.

“No,” I said.

He returned my license to me. “I ran it,” he said.

“Partitions of the City” offers a non-realistic view of urban life. Mark Tobey, whose style merged painting and calligraphy, has abstracted people, streets and buildings into singular patterns.

The exhibition also includes Hopper’s “The Camel’s Hump,” portraying sand dunes on Cape Cod; Charles Howard’s fine “Wild Park”; and Preston Dickinson’s “Fort George Hill,” with its vivid colors and radically different take on a landscape. Burchfield’s “Six O’Clock” again demonstrates his mastery of light.

“Landscape with Figures,” by Maurice Prendergast, is noteworthy in itself and as a connector to Root; his very first purchase was a Prendergast artwork.

It’s worth noting that this is a relatively small exhibit with a specific mission.

Many of the works come from Root’s collection, and he, like any lover of art, had specific tastes. That said, he had little interest in self-promotion and great enthusiasm for art created in the United States.

Beyond that, he bequeathed more than 200 artworks not to a big-city museum but to a Utica institution that opened its doors in 1960. The current exhibit honors that legacy. SNT

UTICA GOES MODERN FOR EVERSON VISIT

Everson Extras

T

he Everson Museum of Art’s current show appeals on several levels. Prendergast to Pollock: American Modernism from the Munson-William-Proctor Arts Institute is an exhibition with depth, skillful discussion of changes in art in the United States over a 40-year period, and strong individual works.

The exhibit is drawn largely from the Utica venue’s permanent collection and supplemented by pieces from the Everson’s own collection. Munson-Williams-Proctor benefited from the generosity of Edward Wales Root, who donated 227 20th-century American works to the museum. He was a collector whose contacts with artists and galleries led to numerous purchases of works by Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock and others. He was fond of Charles Burchfield’s watercolors and bought 21 of them.

Yet the exhibit includes artworks by those three artists but doesn’t showcase them. It takes a broader approach, preferring to fully explore artistic trends.

Some of the most interesting pieces were created by artists who aren’t particularly well-known today.

Prendergast to Pollock encompasses 1930s paintings like Reginald Marsh’s “Texas Guinan,” a rollicking, garish portrayal of a speakeasy run by Ms. Guinan. Root very much appreciated Marsh’s focus on contemporary life. Peppino Mangravite’s “Young Girl Drinking” depicts a young couple at a table, in a scene that’s emotional and wistful. He adroitly contrasts the couple’s faces.

The exhibit also displays nontraditional landscapes.

“Inland Tempest (Inland Storm),” an oil on linen by Arthur Davies, shows the impact of a violent storm, with small, naked figures clamoring for deliverance.

In “Brigham’s Yard, Kingston,” Eugene Speicher captures a factory near the Hudson River at Kingston, delving into the plant, the river, a waterfall and a nearby hillside.

Root, who made many visits to artists’ studios and galleries, continued to buy works during the 1940s and early 1950s. Thus, the show presents Yasuo Kiniyoshi’s excellent “Empty Town in Desert,” which depicts crumbling buildings, thick grass and a moody sky. There’s a sense of the town split apart and of the desert simply outlasting humans.

“Toy,” William Baziotes’ 1949 oil, combines a long-necked creature resembling a dog, a green background, and an ominous orb that can be interpreted as the moon or something very different. Viewers can draw their own conclusions. In “Honky Tonk,” a gouache on paper, Jimmy Ernst integrates grids, rectangles and webs throughout the work. The webs both connect and soften the geometric forms.

The Everson Museum has added new features that, according to assistant museum director Sarah Massett, attempt to expand the venue’s appeal for those who are not usually the museum-going type.

For the new lounge area, Massett noted, “The intention is to create a space in the museum that is very comfortable and accessible for people to use for multiple purposes.” The lounge houses items from the Everson’s permanent collection as well as puzzles, art books and a refreshment station with a self-serve coffee machine, plus complimentary wi-fi access for mobile devices. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own brown bag lunches.

Meanwhile, a monthly series titled “TGIF Tours” offers a guided tour on Friday afternoons, followed by lunch with the museum’s professionals in the lounge.

The next TGIF event takes place April 17 at 12:15 p.m. And the monthly “Baby & Me” tours, which open 30 minutes before the museum’s regular time, allows parents and caregivers of young children the opportunity to appreciate the exhibits without fear that a crying child might disturb other museum visitors. The next tour will occur May 1.

SYRACUSE OPERA’S CLOSE SHAVE

G REVIEW

ioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville ranks ninth on Operabase’s list of most-often performed operas worldwide. But it’s No. 1 as a reliable deliverer of laughter.

Rossini’s work is to comic opera what J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is to children’s theater. Audiences enter the theater knowing what’s supposed to be happening but expecting calculated reinvention. With opera, new voices, linking and blending with one another, can renew any work. Yet Barber, which closes Syracuse Opera’s season, brings characters and situations rooted in commedia dell’arte, inviting directors and performers to embroider and reinvent the 199-yearold comedy each time.

To begin with, Cesare Sterbini’s libretto, based on a French play produced 40 years earlier, inserts a joker into the familiar love triangle. Libidinous tenor Count Almaviva (Javier Abreu), given to disguises, is trying to spend more time with strong-willed but confined soprano Rosina (Lindsay Russell). She’s stuck with her domineering guardian, baritone Dr. Bartolo (Steven Condy), an old letch who has designs on the girl himself.

Aiding the count in his plans is the baritone barber of the title, Figaro (Luis Alejandro Orozco), one of the most imitated comic figures in Western literature.

A living paradox, he’s a clever liar, a moralist given to unscrupulous means.

04.08.15 - 04.14.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

Musically, The Barber of Seville qualifies as a greatest hits show. The fireworks overture, constantly stolen from by later composers in classical and pop, sets the stage on fire even before the action begins.

Figaro’s entry aria, “Largo al factotum della città” (“Make way for the factotum of the city”), is a masterpiece of tongue-twisting bravado in 6/8 meter. You will know it immediately even if you see Barber for the first time or don’t know any Italian. The patter elements anticipate the glories of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Then again, it was also the favored aria of Woody Woodpecker, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Tom and Jerry. It even shows up in Mrs. Doubtfire.

French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais invented Figaro for the Paris stage in 1775, and he eventually appeared in three connected plays. The name “Figaro” is a variation of that playwright’s nickname, and he put a good measure of himself into him. Quite a few composers wanted to musicalize the mischievous character, and W.A. Mozart himself turned the second part of the Beaumarchais trilogy into The Marriage of Figaro 30 years before Rossini got to the first part.

Syracuse Opera artistic director and conductor

Douglas Kinney Frost, along with stage director Jeffrey Buchmann, have assembled a young cast with strong credits.

Some faces and voices, nonetheless, will be familiar to local audiences.

El Paso-born Luis Alejandro Orozco made a lasting impression with local audiences a year ago as the imposing El Payador in Astor Piazzola’s Maria de Buenos Aires, the tango opera. Taking a few dance steps as he sang. Orozco’s El Payador was a sexy, dark, mysterious figure, not a lover but rather a cautionary voice that could not be ignored. He wasn’t the lead, but his dynamic presence dominated many scenes.

Soprano Lindsay Russell is making her Syracuse Opera debut as Rosina, but many audience members will know her from frequent appearances at the Glimmerglass Festival in Cooperstown.

She was still classed as a “Young Artist” when she appeared in Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori’s Blizzard on Marblehead Neck (2011), a challenging new one-act on the troubled life of playwright Eugene O’Neill. Russell’s casting by company head Francesca Zambello implied favor from the highest quarters.

Russell was back the next year as Frasquita in the box-office smash Carmen, winning high praise. But it was the following year that she gained the most attention as the lead Laurie in Aaron Copland’s almost never-performed Tender Land, where she was widely seen as the best thing in an astringent work.

Not much is available about Miami-based tenor Javier Abreu, a Juilliard graduate, but baritone Steven Condy as Dr. Bartolo arrives with a glowing paper trail of raves. Condy has excelled in comic roles, especially Falstaff, inviting reviewers to make wordplay on his name and that of the late John Candy. Offstage, he’s visibly awfully young to sing the role of the aging autocrat, but that’s what acting is. He’s taken on the role with a dozen companies, including some of the best in the land: Boston Lyric, Houston Grand, Washington National and San Francisco Opera. SNT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES. (March 21-April 19) Uitwaaien is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it’s exhilarating.

I don’t know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it, or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it’s such nonsensical fun, or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension. But in the coming weeks, you don’t need to describe or explain experiences like this; you just need to do them. Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play.

TAURUS. (April 20-May 20) Your nasty, nag-

ging little demon isn’t nasty or nagging any more.

It’s not doing what demons are supposed to do.

It’s confused, haggard and ineffective. I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here’s what I suggest: Now, when the demon’s strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, non-reversible exorcism. Buy it a one-way bus ticket to the wasteland and say goodbye forever.

GEMINI. (May 21-June 20) When he was in

his 50s, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success. He used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history. “I planted my water lilies for pleasure,” he said. “I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond.”

I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar, Gemini: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time.

CANCER. (June 21-July 22) “Everything we

do in life is based on fear, especially love,” said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It’s a fundamental human problem, so there’s no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself. Having said that, I’m happy to report that you now have the necessary power to overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. It’s time to disappear the fear.

LEO. (July 23-Aug. 22) Do you ever feel reverence and awe, Leo? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility and gratitude? The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect.

VIRGO. (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A lot has happened since you were indisposed. You’ve missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again, and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting, and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action? Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don’t try to return too early. Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed.

LIBRA. (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Rent, but don’t

buy yet. That’s my $250-per-hour advice. Keep

rehearsing, but don’t start performing the actual show. OK? Flirt, but don’t fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control? Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don’t try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don’t insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria.

SCORPIO. (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The Guerrilla Girls

are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world.

Every so often they take a “weenie count” at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that 5 percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that 4 percent of the artists were female, but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere, Scorpio. Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities, and to initiate corrective action.

SAGITTARIUS. (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The English

term “engine” refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power.

But its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as “inborn talent.” I’d like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your “engine” is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you’d love to wield.

to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don’t need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you? Yes, but only if you meet two conditions.

The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring.

Insurgent. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort

4-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stirfried organic vegetables and a plate full of chocolate coconut macaroons, you’d probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were 4 years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world’s greatest astrologer, you’d also opt for the cookies. But since you’re a grown-up, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and long-lasting pleasure. Right?

PISCES. (Feb. 19-March 20) On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected! Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore’s performance in your own sphere. Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original.
