ON THE RECORD As I’ve told as many people as I can get to listen to me, it wasn’t the first issue of the redesigned Syracuse New Times that worried me, it was the second. We had most of March to pull together what we needed for the April 2 issue, but we had a week to put out the April 9 issue. And here we are six weeks later with the May 21 issue, still going strong. I guess we can keep it up. Although we’ve heard some very kind feedback about the changes here, it’s not as if we’re sitting back all satisfied with ourselves. Last week, we introduced our new television coverage; the TV page had been missing since Bob Niedt found reporting opportunities closer to home (he lives in Virginia now). You can find Sarah Hope’s coverage this week on page 27. And we’re working on other new content that we hope will fill some holes in the New Times repertoire. More on those in the weeks to come. We make the decisions about content based on years of experience in the Photography by news industry, an instinct Michael Davis. for what the readers want, careful Cover design by Caitlin O’Donnell consideration of feedback we receive through social media, word of mouth as we meet people in the community and an octopus in Germany that did really well with the NCAA bracket in March.

Curses, Foiled Again Gene Richins, 31, broke into a jewelry store in Sandy, Utah, by climbing down through the ceiling but then set off a motion-detector alarm. “The alarms were going off this whole time,” store owner Tim Branscomb said. “I don’t know why he didn’t just leave.” Instead, Richins continued filling his bag with jewelry. He wasn’t able to leave the same way he came in, however, so he tried to escape by breaking a window with a fire extinguisher but failed because the glass was shatterproof, police who arrived on the scene said. (Salt Lake City’s KSL-TV)
A 36-year-old man shot himself in the head while demonstrating gun safety at his home in Independence Township, Mich. The man’s girlfriend told Oakland County sheriff’s deputies that the man, who had been drinking most of the day, was using his three handguns to prove how safe guns are when they’re empty. The first two he pointed at his head didn’t fire, but the third one did. Calling the situation “pretty unique,” Undersheriff Michael McCabe remarked, “I have never heard of anyone testing out the safety of a gun by pointing at their head and pulling the trigger.” (United Press International)
Not-So-Great Escape Australian authorities thwarted an escape by two female inmates from a minimum-security prison in New South Wales when they searched a cell and discovered a 60-foot rope made from tied-together sheets. Officials at Emu Plains Corrections Center wondered why the rope was so long because the complex has just one level, and the fences and walls aren’t particularly high. (Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph)
Things That Go Boom Extreme Makeover Two men attending the Western Pyrotechnics Association’s Western Winter Blast 25 were injured when their trunk filled with fireworks exploded in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. “There were 10-inch bundles of fireworks and sparklers,” fire Battalion Chief Mike Quijada said, explaining that when the driver stopped to check out the blast, “That’s when the back blew up. He walked into a fire bomb.” (Havasu’s Today’s News-Herald)

Hoping to distance aspiring middle-class Kazakhstan from its low-class neighbors, President Nursultan Nazarbayev suggested eliminating “stan” from its name. The word means “place” in Persian, but Nazarbayev said that it causes foreigners to lump the country with its economically less developed or more politically volatile neighbors. He suggested the name “Kazakh Yeli,” or “Land of the Kazakhs,” and invited public discussion of his proposal. (The Economist)
Problem Solved Chinese officials are considering using giant vacuum cleaners to improve air quality in polluted cities. The device, which resembles a giant hula-hoop, uses an electrified wire to attract smog particles. “It’s not going to cure smog on a large scale,” Dutch inventor Daan Roosegaarde explained, “but at least we can remind people what clean air looks like.” A separate report noted that in 1970, oil-rich Beverly Hillbilly Jed Clampett considered investing in a scheme to drill a tunnel through the San Bernadino Mountains, stick in a huge fan and suck all the smog out of Los Angeles.

Scottish authorities said Gary Rough, 28, tried to rob a Glasgow betting shop with a cucumber. He showed the clerk a “long cylindrical object covered in a black sock” and demanded money, but she refused. An off-duty detective heard the commotion and pinned Rough to the ground.

LANGUAGE MATTERS In the landmark 2010 Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Commission case, the Supreme Court essentially said that corporations can spend as much money on political messaging as they like, as long as it is not given to candidates or their committees. Corporations, the Supreme logic went, are just like people. Around the same time that the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people, corporations have decided that people aren’t people any more. People at work used to be referred to as workers. Then we became personnel. And now they would have us all believe that we are “human resources.” You are not a human resource. You are a person. When you go to work, you might be a cashier, a baker, a firefighter, an engineer, parking attendant, an accordion player, a teacher or a nurse, even a writer at your local alternative weekly. But you are not a human resource. You are a person. I am not a content provider. I am a writer. Never in my life have I ended a phone call while on deadline by telling my wife, “I’ve got to get back to providing content.” Never have I provided content for a book, a film, an article or a pamphlet. I just write them. What’s the difference? Why draw the distinction? It’s not just because the term “content provider,” like its evil cousin “human resource,” is lifeless and bloodless, which it surely is. It’s not just because it makes us sound like cogs in a machine, which it surely does. It’s because it changes the frame of reference, it erodes the mindset that breeds and nourishes creativity, it imposes a third party— usually a corporate entity — in between the reader and the writer. And it dehumanizes. Human resources, in corporate speak, are on a par with any other “resources,” such as technology, electrical power, land,

Dollops to Doughnuts physical plant, software. The use of these terms subtly equates people with inanimate objects, making it easier to explain away decisions that harm real people. It’s not too distant from the military’s use of “collateral damage,” which allows us to shrug our shoulders rather than grieve and protest when we learn that we have killed someone’s entire family on the other side of the globe. The outrageous and unreasonable is rendered somehow more acceptable by the cleverly deployed euphemism. Corporate media managers have adopted this new language with alarming speed, and frightened journalists, perhaps preferring “content provider” to “out-of-work writer,” have little choice but to nod. It’s a slippery slope, and I suggest that we will be better off if we resist adopting this new nomenclature. Think of the musician. She has a voice, an instrument, a song. So she is a singer, a guitar player, or a songwriter, maybe an arranger. Not a note provider. Not a music provider. A musician. A music provider sounds more like what comes out of the speakers at the dentist’s office. A musician is real, alive, creative. And empowered. If we are content providers, then what are you? A content consumer? A content accessor? What is an editor? A content rearranger? I don’t provide content; I write thoughts, expressed in words, and paragraphs. Sometimes you read them. Sometimes you don’t. Reading is not consuming, it’s not accessing. It’s reading. Using specific words for specific actions promotes clarity in thinking. When vocabulary starts to slip, when workers are no longer workers who work but “personnel” to be managed and then, even worse, “human resources” to be deployed, it makes me worry. You are not a human resource. I am not a content provider. Deal? SNT
IN OTHER NEWS: What do Joanie Mahoney and Barack Obama have in common? Both have taken to the
rooftops to promote their environmental agendas. Mahoney’s Save the Rain program for cleaning up Onondaga Lake has included green roofs installed on major county buildings. Last week Obama announced that solar panels would be returning to the White House roof, to emphasize renewable energy sources, part of his “all of the above” energy strategy, which includes hydrofracking. Solar panels were originally installed at the Executive Mansion by Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s when they cost more than 70 dollars per watt of capacity. (Those old panels were removed during the Reagan years.) Today solar installations cost only 74 cents per watt, and costs are trending downward.
Last week, you may have read the comments of a man at the end of his wits going on about those of us who “provide content” for this esteemed periodical. Yes, I’m talking about Kramer, our resident humor provider, and his inexcusable revelation of our private communications. In his defense, it must be said that Kramer did work nearly four hours at a real job that day, so understandably he was overtaxed. Nonetheless, I must set the record straight. The quote attributed to me in his column about his brief stint as our office receptionist was taken from a private email and quoted out of context. I never anticipated that this private conversation would be revealed to the entire world. Anyone who knows me knows that I would never use the term “dollop” in public. Through this embarrassing episode, I have developed some insight and empathy into the suffering of Mr. Donald Sterling, whose official title is “disgraced owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.” (His previous title was “that old fat white guy sitting next to the hot black chick.”) I regret using this particular term for a The number of students small amount of jelly on top of a schmear enrolled in Corcoran High of cream cheese on a bagel. But as Mr. School last year. Sterling said to Anderson Cooper, “isn’t a guy entitled to one mistake?” The dollop reference was in response to our receptionist, now referred to in these parts as “C. Scheuerman,” who enticed Kramer’s colleagues to pour out our deThe number of school sires for baked goods in as much detail as districts in Central New possible. I regret that I succumbed to the York with a TOTAL enrollment of fewer than 1,345 lure of her magical lady parts. It won’t happen again. students. As for Kramer, just consider the source. This is a man who cannot even succeed in having himself vasectomized (he turned that one into a theatrical production). He’s a man who has acknowledged going to eat at the Cheesecake Factory even though he had already eaten there. As Sterling might say, hardly a role model. SNT

elebrities including Billy Joel, Meryl Streep and Vanessa Williams expound on the wonders of New York in a series of new 30-second tourism videos paid for by you, the taxpayer. What’s wrong with that picture? Incredibly, no one in the ILoveNY campaign asked me to provide a celebrity testimonial for Syracuse, which looks to be thoroughly dissed by the ad campaign. Et tu, Vanessa? Fine. Be that way. With a major assist from the Syracuse New Times’ multi-media impresario Ty Marshal, I’ve created my own tourism video starring me, local celebrity person Jeff Kramer.

Actually, I live in DeWitt, which is an eastern suburb, but even that gets confusing because my mailing address is Jamesville. The Syracuse area has a lot of government.

happen? The private sector? Please. I chose to live in Syracuse because ... OK, I didn’t. My wife made me move here. She’s from Syracuse, and she wanted to come back. Before we came here, all full of optimism and stuff, we lived in Southern California. People sometimes ask me if I miss it there. I just smile and say: “What do you think, asshole?” But I’ve made my peace with it because the upside is tremendous. People here are real, and together we all experience the magic of the four seasons: Pre-Winter, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Mud and Road Construction. Let me show you some of my favorite places in The ’Cuse: Onondaga Lake is one of the most beautiful urban lakes in the world, and everyone here looks forward to the day we can have physical contact with it without having our critical organs sprout tumors the size of mangos.

In fact, I used to write for the not-quite daily newspaper right over there, The Post-Standard ... (Shot of old Post-Standard building) ... but I quit because they told me I wasn’t part of their core mission. But it’s not like I hold a grudge. Syracuse is too small and too friendly for grudges. (Shot of Kramer knocking over Post-Standard honor box.) Whether we’re cheering for our beloved Orange ... (shot of Jim Boeheim rushing the court v. Duke) … Or shopping at one of our intimate specialty boutiques... (Show Kramer about to enter an inner city corner store, then thinking better of it.) … Syracuse delivers an unforgettable experience. No wonder I’m proud to call Syracuse my home. You know, one of the main reasons we moved here is because it’s such a great place to raise a family. There’s a real sense of community, a looking out for the little guy ... (Shot of Destiny USA, National Grid) So, come discover your favorite part of Syracuse.

t’s only fitting that in a summer when the first former Syracuse Chief of the modern area will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame (Bobby Cox), Syracuse fans can use a ticket stub from a 2014 Chiefs game for free admission to the Hall of Fame Museum on Fridays through Sept. 5.
The Hall of Fame is calling the promotion “Minor League Days,” and on Fridays the museum in Cooperstown will feature educational programs spotlighting the longstanding love affair between baseball fans and the minors. “This promotion is right in step with the Syracuse Chiefs: affordable, family, and fun,” said Chiefs General Manager Jason Smorol. “The fans save money and build memories at a Chiefs game, and now they can save money and build memories at the greatest Hall of Fame in the world.” The regular admission cost to visit the museum is $19.50 for adults and $7 for children 7 to 12. At about 90 miles away, Syracuse is the closest Triple-A or Double-A baseball city to Cooperstown. “Many of the sport’s major-league fans come from communities served by minor-league teams,” said Brad Horn, vice president of communications and education at the Hall of Fame. “We love the stories of minor league baseball and their fans, and we look forward to celebrating them each Friday throughout the summer.” Speaking of former Chiefs, former Syracuse player and manager Cox will be inducted into the Hall of Fame July 27 in Cooperstown along with Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas, Tom Glavine, Tony La Russa and Joe Torre. As the Chiefs’ skipper in 1976, Cox guided the Chiefs
to their most recent International League Governors’ Cup championship. Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, July 25-27, is the highlight of the Hall of Fame’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2014. Other major events include the Hall of Fame Classic on Saturday, May 24, when 30 former major-leaguers — including Hall of Famers like Eddie Murray and Ozzie Smith — play a game at Cooperstown’s legendary Doubleday Field. On Aug. 2, the Hall will celebrate its anniversary with an all-star concert at the Clark Sports Center featuring the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, former Yankees outfielder and Grammy Award nominee Bernie Williams (who’ll also be in Syracuse June 15), Latin music superstar Juan Luis Guerra and 12-Grammy Award winner Paul Simon (“Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?”).

MAJOR MINORS DISPLAYS:
The Hall’s minor-league displays include a ball from a 1952 game in which Ron Necciai recorded 27 strikeouts in nine innings. There’s also the scorebook from the 33-inning game between Rochester and Pawtucket in 1981 —the longest game in pro baseball history. Baldwinsville resident Steve Grilli’s cap from that game is there too, but it’s not currently on exhibit. syracusenewtimes.com | 05.21.14 - 05.28.14

MICHAEL SAM’S KISS AND GREATLY DESERVED LIMELIGHT By Lasse Loeber Jepsen On May 10, NFL’s first openly gay player, Michael Sam, made headlines again, this time as he kissed his boyfriend on national TV. Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round, the 249th out of 256 players, and when he received the news, he cried happy tears, hugged and kissed his boyfriend in front of rolling ESPN cameras. Sam came out publicly in February, so it surprises me that people were caught off guard by his kiss, and that the affectionate act received much more attention than the fact that he got drafted. The celebratory moment made a sensation, and both narrow-minded NFL players and an outraged Dallas talk show host expressed their indignation (about the gay couple kissing) in the midst of the heated debate. President Barack Obama, on the other hand, congratulated Sam, the Rams and the NFL “for taking an important step forward today in our nation’s journey.” I can understand that people may need time to get used to seeing gay couples kissing. I just think that it is a shame that Sam being gay overshadows his obvious athletic capabilities and touching life story. Sam spent parts of his childhood living in his mother’s car, and he watched his older brother die from a gunshot wound. It was against all odds that he, as the first member of his family, attended college and pursued the American Dream. I think the focus should be on him succeeding, rather than on his sexual orientation. As Obama so tellingly put it, “LGBT Americans prove every day that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are.” Sam’s spot in the limelight, kissing his boyfriend out of happiness and relief, was well deserved, and it is my hope that it marks the beginning of more tolerance, particularly in relation with sexual diversity. SNT Lasse Loeber Jepsen is a recent Syracuse University graduate who works at the Q Center, a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and their allies to gather, share, hang out, have fun and build healthy relationships with supportive adults and peers.
MOMMA LEFT 8 DECADES OF SELFLESSNESS ON COMMUNITY By Jack Brown On Mother’s Day, we said goodbye to a very special lady in the Syracuse community. Mary Lavelle, 97 years young, passed away peacefully at Crouse Hospital, less than a month after working her last weekly dinner shift at St. Vincent de Paul Church. She was a loving wife, mother of five, grandmother of 11 and great-grandmother of 24. But those weren’t the only people around here who knew her as “Momma.” Lavelle had become a local celebrity in her role as chef extraordinaire for the fish dinners at St. Vincent’s. During the Lenten season, she would serve delicious meals to hungry folks of all faiths and backgrounds every Friday night. Momma was usually the first person there, no matter sun,
rain, sleet or blizzard. She would collaborate (and occasionally bicker) with longtime tag-team partner Marion Brooks, 88, over the finer points of creating their famous macaroni and cheese. She helped thousands as a communicant of the church for eight decades, and during that time few could keep up with her! The legend of Momma goes beyond St. Vincent’s. She was a proud member of the Altar and Rosary Society and the Happy Roamers, and she worked at Carrier Corp. for 35 years. In 2012, at the vivacious age of 95, Momma worked part-time in the kitchen at Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity on the SU hill, which – of course – she drove herself to every week. Her son Mike “Che” Lavelle has been the
Frank Cammuso
chef at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, which is the house next door, since 1992. Through the years, Momma formed lasting relationships with members of the SU community and became the undisputed matriarch of the SAE brotherhood. It wasn’t long before her family ties extended to a national network of former students. Momma had many friends and loved ones around town. She had been a frequent bowler, golfer, card player and still enjoyed the occasional trip to the casino. She loved throwing big parties at her house, especially on the Fourth of July, and would even invite the neighboring Syracuse firefighters from Station No. 9. She visited her friend Betty Coss at St. Camillus once a week for 17 years, and kept in close contact with her children from Syracuse to Arizona. I first met Momma in 2005 while teaching kids at an after-school kickball program in St. Vincent’s. This was years before I co-founded the band Sophistafunk or began volunteering with the Syracuse Peace Council, and her influence helped lay the foundation for the next chapter of my life. Getting to know her was a reminder about uplifting others and the difference that one person can make. She was a kind soul with overflowing energy and an inspiration to anybody who had the chance to meet or work with her. On a beautiful summer day, you could find Momma with her son Mike relaxing by their koi pond on Shuart Avenue. Sometimes I would be there, too, writing songs in the backyard or hanging out as Lavelle tended to her garden. I always knew her as “Momma,” as did many people in Syracuse and around the country. So when I learned of her passing on Mother’s Day, my heart was filled with an extra layer of grief. But I was soon comforted by Mike, who reminded me how appropriate it was that she said farewell on the most fitting day possible. Rest in Peace, Momma. Love, Jack SNT

made. Stephen Zunes (SZ): Certainly it has been uneven. As this wave of democratization has taken place, some authoritarian regimes are getting more effective at challenging it, and of course there have been a number of reversals. But overall, since I was an undergraduate back in the 1970s, we have seen more than 70 countries move from dictatorship to some degree of democracy. What we found is that some regimes fell through armed revolution; a few more through voluntary reforms by the elite, a kind of top-down guided democratization within the system; and only one or two through foreign intervention. But in the vast majority of cases, close to three-quarters of these transitions, the most important single variable was democratic civil-society organizations engaged in strategic nonviolent action. GR: What do you mean by nonviolent activist opposition? SZ: It most certainly includes public demonstrations and the contestation of public space, but it can also mean things like boycotts; strikes; burning of symbols of government authority, like ID cards; violation of public regime orders, like curfew restrictions. It can also include the establishment of parallel alternative institutions for social organizations and legitimacy. Unlike armed struggle, which is usually centered on young, able-bodied men with guns, it’s the kind of thing that the entire society regardless of age or gender or physical ability can take part in. GR: What would you say fall into the “greatest hits” category? SZ: Certainly, we would start with the Philippines and the downfall of the U.S.-backed Marcos dictatorship and the People Power movement there. We saw the scene in Latin America forcing Pinochet to have a referendum (the dictator of Chile, who lost), as well as Bolivia and some other Latin American countries. Eastern Europe, of course. It wasn’t NATO that brought down communism, it was Polish dock workers ... Czech intellectuals, Estonian folk singers and millions of other ordinary Eastern Europeans that faced down the tanks with their bare hands. Some of the postcommunist dictatorships, most notably Milosevic in Serbia; it wasn’t 11 weeks of NATO bombing

that got rid of the Butcher of the Balkans, but young Serbian students who mobilized the population after a stolen election. And we also see it in parts of Africa – not just North Africa, where Tunisia has been the most prominent success story of the recent Arab spring, but in countries like Madagascar and, in fact, in South Africa they are arguing the ANC (African National Congress) never got beyond the occasional acts of sabotage. It was the Democratic Front and the trade union movement. It was mass resistance in the townships that also made the apartheid system unsustainable and forced them to negotiate with Mandela and led to majority rule. GR: And some cases, there were armed oppositions or outside interventions, and you say the nonviolent aspect was the real cause for change. Why do you think the nonviolent opposition is more effective than the alternative? SZ: No struggle is completely nonviolent or completely violent; they are all mixed. But I emphasized the ones in which the primary mode of the struggle, the most significant modes of struggle politically, and also one that involved the largest amount of participants, were those who rejected the use of violence. I should emphasize this is not out of ethical considerations. Gandhi and King are exceptions to the rule, in that they were both religious pacifists and leaders of strategic nonviolent action. The vast majority of people and leaders of these movements chose nonviolence not because they were pacifists, not because they have any kind of religious or ethical commitment to nonviolence per se, but because this is one of the most effective means of struggle. In other words, it was a strategic decision, not a moral decision. But I think it does certainly have more appeal than armed struggle. There are a lot of people who are not willing to take up the gun, for various reasons, but who are willing to take part in nonviolence. Again, that is part of its strength. GR: Have things changed over the years, in terms of how successful something like the American Revolution could be? SZ: A lot of people forget that a lot of the American Revolution was nonviolent, ... but if you actually look at the records at that time, including the correspondence of the British governments and the like, it was the tax strikes, the massive uncooperation, that was at least as problematic as the soldiers. Indeed, if the French had not intervened, we would have certainly lost the war, but it was (also) an unarmed resistance. It actually started in the 1760s – that really helped undermine British control. I think the Boston Tea Party may be the only incident that really made it to our history books, but that was just one of quite a number of instances of civil resistance within the Colonies.
STEPHEN ZUNES
of the 70’s & 80’s!
GR: A recent study by researchers at Princeton University concluded that the U.S. is an oligarchy, not a democracy. Is there any application of your research to thinking about the American situation? SZ: Well, if you look at the struggles that have made our country more democratic over the years, it’s almost always been through popular, nonviolent struggles, from the suffrage movement to the civil rights movement to the American labor movement. Almost all the progress that we have seen in making our country more democratic has come through popular, nonviolent struggles. I would agree that there is a need now for it, with the great increasing concentration of power in the hands of the wealthy. What we saw through the Occupy Wall Street movements is the beginnings of that kind of resistance, though the lack of organization and other strategic errors made that short-lived. I think it is an indication what we may be seeing more of in the future and hopefully in a more organized and strategic way. GR: I want to turn to the area you have focused on, the Middle East. How likely is it that we will see lasting peace and cooperation between Israel and Palestine in the next, say, 20 years?

SZ: I think most people on both sides recognize that the other is there to stay, in the sense that the Palestinians, in spite of what they perceive as great injustices done to them in the Zionist movement, and expulsion and occupation and the like … realize that the Israeli Jews are now part of the Middle East, and they have to live with them. And similarly, the Israelis recognize that … well, they have not yet recognized the Palestinians as a state, and they are not yet willing to provide them with the nonterritorial domain of a viable state, at least there has been some acknowledgement that they are a nation, that they do have a right to self-determination. … Unfortunately, the United States has contradictory roles as both the chief mediator of the conflict and the chief military, diplomatic and financial supporter of the more powerful of the two parties, and that has made it difficult to move the process forward, allowing Israel to get away with expanding its illegal settlements, which have more than doubled since the signing of the Oslo agreement. GR: It is hard for me to imagine the Palestinians taking the U.S. seriously as an intermediary, because its starting position is one of support-

SZ: Certainly, based on their behavior thus far, it does make it difficult. I think that the best way it would look is, if we really support Israel – and, again, I have nothing against supporting Israel per se – think what Israel’s actual interest is. Because as many Israelis will tell you, Israel will be far more secure within its internationally recognized border, and at peace with its neighbor. … And I have, right here, people saying that we can’t pressure Israel, because Israel is our friend. Well, my response is what you do when your friend is drunk at the bar with the car keys in their hand stumbling out towards their vehicle: A friend says, “Hey, I’m not letting you hurt yourself or other people” and takes the keys away. My Israeli friends say that is a good analogy, except they’d expand it further. They would say the U.S. is the bartender. We are the enabler; we are pouring the stuff by our continued military and economic aid, or vetoing U.N. Security Council resolutions, and other things that give Israel no incentive to compromise. GR: If you could change one thing about American foreign policy in this area, what would it be? SZ: I would like to see a change in the U.S. policy overall, to one where we live up to our own rhetoric around human rights and international law. I mean, I have real problems with people who unfairly single out Israel for criticism. But I also have problems with people who unfairly believe Israel should get away with things that no other country should get away with. I mean, how can we in credibility put sanctions and pressure on Russia for its illegal annexation of Crimea when Israel has already illegally annexed part of the occupied territories? GR: Some of the response that you always get when you put forward an argument like that, well, is it depends on the strategic influence of the country. SZ: Not necessarily, because I would say that support for Arab dictatorships and occupation armies actually hurt our strategic interest. I don’t think we would have seen al-Qaeda rise the way it has if the United States was not supporting the Saudi regime and it was not supporting the Israeli occupations. Not supporting the dictatorships in Egypt and the Emirates and other parts of the world. And I find that when we get in trouble, when we see an anti-American extremism in various parts of the world, it’s not because of our values but when we stray from our values. SNT

SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT FAR EXCEEDS F-M SENIOR’S HIGH HOPES Three days after dancing with Bruce Springsteen onstage in front of tens of thousands, Fayetteville-Manlius senior Kait Franey was still wearing a paper bracelet with the number 1032 on it. The 18-year-old went to see the E Street Band at Albany’s Times Union Center May 13, never imagining that she would be plucked out of the crowd to share the stage with the man who has been her favorite musician since seventh grade. A veteran of two Springsteen performances, Franey thought she knew what to expect when she arrived in Albany in late afternoon along with her friend Anna Putelo and Putelo’s parents. The Putelos, like the Franeys, are long-time members of the E Street nation. Franey remembers as a child being dropped off at her grandmother’s house while her parents went to Bruce concerts. Grandma played Springsteen tunes, and the young Franey came to know the Springsteen catalog from “Thunder Road” to “The Rising.” She arrived at the arena gate in downtown Albany by 5 p.m., just as crews started to distribute the lottery bracelets that gave them a shot at entrance to the pit — the area immediately in front of the stage. Her number was called, and before the 7:30 sound check, she found herself so close she could touch the stage. “One guy there, whose name was Art, said he had been to 109 Bruce concerts,” she recalled. “He looks at me and says, ‘He’s going to pick you.’” Sure enough, just after finishing the title song from his new album, High Hopes, Springsteen launched into a cover of the Traits’ “Treat Her Right” and walked over, bent down from the stage, took her by the hand and started singing to her. “People were saying, ‘Get up on stage.’ He went away, then came back, and I just got pushed on to the stage,” Franey said. “I’m standing there in front of thousands of people next to Bruce Springsteen, listening to my idol. I start dancing. He’s playing the guitar, and I’m going nuts. Then at the end he bowed to me, and

I bowed to him, and he gave me a hug. Then we bowed together, and I did a curtsy. That was awesome. I was so giddy the entire time. Beside myself the entire time. I didn’t even know what was happening. He didn’t say anything, he just kept laughing at me,” she said. When he was through, the Boss asked the crowd a question: “The song has magic in it, doesn’t it?” Kait Franey would certainly agree. The next day, she went back to school, where her teachers had more understanding of the moment’s importance than did most of her classmates. (Her third-year English teacher had been at the show and had seen her up on stage.) “I told them I might not be able to focus on what I was doing at school,” Franey said. That is not usually the case for her. She’s been an honor student all through high school, collecting two national Scholastic Arts Awards along the way while playing shooting guard on the basketball team all four years. After pulling out of Albany, the Springsteen High Hopes tour wound up with two dates in Connecticut. Fans will have to wait through the summer to find out when they can see the Boss live again. As for Franey, she’s headed to Marist College, in Poughkeepsie, where she plans to major in communications and take a minor in art. The bracelet is going with her, along with the memory of a lifetime. The moment was captured on video: tinyurl.com/kvvg7cd SNT

CNY SALT PLAYED ROLE IN WAR OF 1812 This year continues to mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. The Onondaga Historical Association is hosting an exhibit from the National Museum of the U.S. Navy about naval activity during that war. A local connection involves a man named Daniel Dobbins (1776-1856), a pioneer mariner on Lake Erie in the early 1800s. One of the most sought-after commodities in this era was salt, one of the few means available to preserve fish and meats before refrigeration. An early history of Erie, Pa., states, “Previous to the war of 1812-14, a dozen or more vessels comprised the whole merchant fleet of the lake, averaging about sixty tons each. The chief article of freight was salt from Salina, N.Y., which was brought to Erie, landed on the beach ... hauled in wagons to Waterford, and from there floated down ... to Pittsburgh.” Before canals, salt heading west left the shores of Onondaga Lake on boats run down the Seneca and Oswego rivers. At Oswego, the salt barrels were placed on a schooner, shipped to the Lower Niagara River, portaged around Niagara Falls, and then reloaded onto another sailboat for Erie. Dobbins was one of the most active of these Lake Erie merchant captains. In 1809, he purchased a 90-ton schooner called the Charlotte and renamed the ship Salina, after the place that would be the source for most of its cargo. Sometimes he unloaded Onondaga salt at Erie, destined for Pittsburgh. Other times, he sailed up the Great Lakes to Mackinac and traded salt there for furs, which he brought to Montreal for great profit. The United States declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812. Dobbins and the Salina were docked at Mackinac Island, at the head of Lake Michigan. The small American garrison, stationed at that island’s fort, was soon surprised by an enemy force of 300, which was 10 times its number. Dobbins and the Salina were temporarily commandeered by the victorious British and ordered to transport the paroled American prisoners to Detroit. In August, a larger British force attacked and seized Detroit. Dobbins again
“Battle of Lake Erie” in the engraving (left) was where Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry uttered the words “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.” Daniel Dobbins (above) was a 19th-century mariner who got caught up in the War of 1812.
found himself and the Salina in British hands. This time, the British kept the Salina to use as a supply ship. Dobbins, however, escaped. The Madison administration in Washington knew it needed a naval fleet on Lake Erie or risked defeat on that front. Dobbins was asked to serve as a sailing master in the Navy and ordered to return to Lake Erie and establish a shipyard. He chose Erie, Pa., and Dobbins’ labors became the nucleus for the shipbuilding effort that would lead to creating Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s Lake Erie fleet. Meanwhile, the British were using the former salt-hauling Salina to transport provisions and shipbuilding supplies among their Lake Erie posts in Canada. In December 1812, she was caught in Lake Erie ice and abandoned. At the same time that winter, Dobbins and his construction crew were desperate for materials to outfit his unfinished gunboats at Erie. One day, to Dobbins’ surprise, a “ghost” ship appeared offshore, locked in the ice and abandoned. He organized a salvage operation, drawing sleds over the ice. Dobbins was no doubt amazed to find the ship that had drifted down the lake in the ice floe was his old command, the Salina. It was a fortunate event. Dobbins decided to remove everything he could use. Desperately needed rope for rigging was taken. Scrap iron, rods and spikes from the Salina could be converted by blacksmiths into nails and fastenings for the ships that would become part of Perry’s fleet. Perry himself took over assembling the Lake Erie fleet in 1813, but Dobbins, the Great Lakes salt trader, continued to work closely with him on construction and supply details.
Their effort resulted in an American Lake Erie squadron of 11 vessels, nine of which confronted the British fleet at the western end of the lake in an epic naval battle on Sept. 10, 1813. The Battle of Lake Erie was a major American victory, immortalized with Perry’s report to his superiors: “We have met the enemy, and they are ours ...” The British defeat gave the Navy control of the Upper Great Lakes for the remainder of the war. Dobbins had hoped to participate in this crucial battle. Perry, however, had given him command of the Ohio, a 59-foot merchant schooner with one gun. Perry assigned it to supply duties, and it was docked at Erie when the battle began. Three days later, Dobbins and the Ohio reached the victorious squadron and its captured prizes, carrying much-needed provisions for the weary and wounded sailors of both sides. Dobbins continued with the Navy into the 1820s and then with the Revenue Cutter Service, a precursor to the U.S. Coast Guard. He left the salt trade behind, but getting Onondaga salt to market continued as one of the important drivers for internal improvements in the United States, especially for the creation of the Erie Canal. Today, Dobbins lies buried at Erie. The hulk of the salt schooner Salina lies just a few miles away, beneath the waters of Lake Erie. Almost 200 years later, its small role in helping outfit Perry’s victorious War of 1812 fleet remains a footnote in the lore of the Onondaga salt industry.

They were emaciated, wary and weak when they arrived at Skanda Equine. Renée K. Gadoua writes about the Onondaga rescue horses, which are ready for a second chance at life. When Marion Secor learned that a herd of abandoned and maltreated horses needed a place to recuperate, she didn’t hesitate. Yes, of course, she told CNY SPCA officials, bring them to Skanda. The Cazenovia horse farm’s mantra is “for the love of the horse,” and this mission offered a chance for the new business to put its slogan into action. “We didn’t know what we were getting into,” said Secor, who launched Skanda in August 2012. “We had never rescued before, but we couldn’t say no. We just knew we had to take them. If you love horses, how could you say no?” Over two days in late February 2013, rescuers with the SPCA rounded up 14 horses from a field in the town of Onondaga. On the first day, they managed to corral nine horses, get them in trailers and deliver them to Skanda Equine. A few days later, SPCA workers transported another five horses. The rescue wasn’t easy. The horses were not used to being

around people, and many had likely never been trailered before. They were skittish and resisted capture. One horse knocked workers over. At least one was sedated before rescuers could move her. At Skanda Equine, a 70-acre farm just off Route 20 in Cazenovia, it was all hands on deck. When the seven stallions and seven mares arrived, Secor and her colleagues put them in a separate barn to quarantine them. The horses were wary, at first. Some kicked and bucked when touched, and there were a few minor injuries to staff early on. “They were hungry, so for a while there was a feeding frenzy. They’d never been groomed. They would jump,” Secor said. “They were used to being free. They were used to making their own rules.” They arrived emaciated and weak. Some were 200 or more pounds underweight. Some couldn’t stand. Their hair was matted
and dirty. They apparently had little human contact and resisted being touched. But soon the horses — thought to be a mix of Appaloosa and Mustang — relaxed, responding to gentle touches, regular care and limitless love. “When they were moved into the barn, it was the first time they had regular food and water and consistent care,” said Piama Gilbert, a Skanda staff member who has worked with horses most of her life. “It became a haven. They came to love that barn.” Five months after the rescue, Skanda staff were still shaking their heads when they talked about the horses’ condition when they arrived. But by July, the horses were grazing alone or in small groups. They gently stuck their heads out to greet visitors and seemed to be mugging for the camera. Secor named the horses, most of the choices reflecting her Scandinavian heritage. There’s Magnus and Ander and Brigid. Ari, Scout, and Mac. Mira, Sindri, Neiboust, Skye, Alexsia and Molly. Tibet was named after Secor’s daughter, who is from Tibet. And then there was Little Moe, who broke their hearts from Day One. His real name is Modig, which means brave in Norwegian. Moe, a yearling, could not stand. It took six people to get him upright. He was emaciated, and Gilbert and Secor think a corneal tear left him blind. He couldn’t walk or eat. Staff and volunteers watched over him around the clock. He rested on straw and soft blankets. They fed him water by hand, and he ate whenever he was awake. “Instantly, he trusted us,” Gilbert said. “He allowed us to lift his head and support him. He’d hear our voices and his mouth would move, because he knew he was going to eat. It was like having a wild deer. He was very brave.” Moe died March 4, 2013, within a week of his rescue. “It was heart-breaking,” Secor said. “I don’t think there was a dry eye around here for a while.” Skanda held a memorial service and planted a cherry tree in Moe’s memory. The staff still tear up talking about him. But they didn’t have time to mourn. The surviving horses required hours of care each day. They needed to be groomed — gingerly at first, because they weren’t used to it. They had to be fed carefully and slowly to avoid making them sick. They needed to learn to socialize and interact with humans. Skanda quickly separated the mares and stallions, but four of the mares were pregnant when they arrived. One lost its foal. By May 2013, Miri and Sindri had fillies named Chance and Sparkle. On July 24, Aleksia had a colt, which Secor named Rio. Two days after Rio’s birth, Aleksia stood guard over her foal, hovering as he stood on wobbly, thin legs, standing patiently as he nursed. Each horse possesses a distinct personality, the Skanda staff says. Ari, is “light and airy and very soft.” Gilbert compared him to a unicorn: “He has that mystical sweetness.” Neiboust, a bay mare, came close to dying. She was so weak at first that workers had to hoist her to a standing position using a fire hose. But now she’s “very mature and dignified.” Magnus has “a strong, muscular presence” but is very kind and gentle. Molly has unusual coloring: a mixture of copper, gray and blue. Gilbert calls her highly intelligent, sweet and loving, but a little

mischievous. For about a month in spring 2013, Hannah Friedman, a senior studying equine business management at nearby Cazenovia College, interned at Skanda. She spent long days with the rescued horses, brushing, touching, standing and walking with them so they would get used to human contact. Sindri, the tiny roan mare, found a special place in Friedman’s heart. “She didn’t like to have anyone touch her,” Friedman said. “We had to chase her and hold her.” It took a few weeks to build trust. “She had a tendency to turn her back to me when she was not happy and try to kick me. I would just step away and give her space. I would sit down with her in her little pen and put her hay close to her. She would run away but eventually come closer to the hay.” Friedman graduated in May 2013 and took a job teaching beginners how to ride in Washington, N.J. Watching the horses gain strength and build trust with humans made a big impression on her. “It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I hope to get a chance to work with wild horses again,” she said. Five months after their rescue, the horses were much improved. Paul Morgan, executive director of the CNY SPCA, was surprised all but one had survived, let alone thrived. “Now they’re back up to weight,” Morgan said. “We had a lot of compassionate people that did wonders.” With their health restored, Skanda began

to train the horses for riding and their future lives: All will be put up for adoption. In late July 2013, a farrier treated nearly all the horses, trimming their feet and treating abscesses. Skanda does not shoe its horses; that will be up to the adoptees’ owners. The stallions will be gelded before adoption. “They’re so much better,” Gilbert said. “They’re incredibly smart. They’re intelligent. Their hearts are so full because they’ve been unencumbered and had to survive. They’re motivated primarily by love and generosity. They live in the moment. They’re just who they are.” Secor shrugs off questions about who’s responsible for the terrible conditions in which the horses were found. “My priority is the horses,” she said. Nor will she estimate the cost of boarding, feeding and treating the horses, although the SPCA’s Morgan suggests costs of at least $130,000 through last summer. It’s not clear who owned the horses, and no one has been charged in the case, but Morgan said the Onondaga Nation, which has owned the property since 1999, cooperated with the rescue and donated nearly $100,000 to the SPCA to help pay for the horses’ recovery. Secor said it would be nearly impossible to track the many hours staff and volunteers spent with the horses. They were wormed several times. The sick horses were fed special — and more expensive — alfalfa. They also needed halters and leads. An event Sept. 14 — the Little Moe

5K Walk/Run — raised money for horse rescue at the CNY SPCA. While it’s easy to marvel at the love and attention Skanda gave the horses, the staff said they learned plenty in return: lessons in trust, bravery, patience and internal strength. For co-owner Tom D’Aquanni there’s this: “I’m learning to be more still, more quiet, to listen to subtle things. It’s amazing how much they see and perceive. I’m learning to slow down and pay attention.” Although most of the horses are ready for their next home, Skanda staff worries about the new owners. “The horses really have to trust them,” Secor said. “We have to know the next home will be safe. If we took them in to keep them and just send them out, what have we accomplished? We want to do it in a way that honors them.” She doesn’t have a list of criteria for the new owners, but the priority is that they love horses. “We want someone who has a connection with the horse,” she said. “If the connection is not there, it’s not. I’ll know.” So far seven of the horses have been adopted. Secor adopted Ander, who she had her eye on from the beginning. Another 11 are available for adoption. The staff will be sad to see the horses leave, but are pleased they have regained their health and spirit. “It’s a happy ending,” Gilbert said. “Or a happy new beginning.” SNT

Flappers Play the Racy Card in Raunchy Wild Party
C REVIEW
entral new York Playhouse’s current production, Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party (running through May 31), is pivotal to the development of the company. No other show has succeeded better in minimizing the space’s weaknesses while exploiting its assets. Wild Party is also one of the edgiest shows any community theater company has ever attempted, in a range with Judy’s Scary Little Christmas and Urinetown.
Credit director-choreographer Stephfond Brunson and music director Abel Searor, who put the eight-player musical ensemble on a raised platform upstage so that all the action is in front of the musicians. This is the same way Syracuse Opera staged Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, with some of the same effect: The music matters more. Lippa’s complex, terrific score is one of The Wild Party’s major attractions, and this staging clarifies orchestral tone without drowning out voices. Giving up space on the relatively small stage also works well. It makes the show feel like a kind of subversive, subterranean cabaret. It makes you forget you’re in a mall. All of this in the name of debauchery. New Yorker writer Joseph Moncure March’s long narrative poem “The Wild Party” (1928) was a literary sensation in its day. Jack Kroll called it “F. Scott Fitzgerald on Spanish fly.” Banned in Boston and elsewhere, it was
the book that made William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch) want to become a writer. Never forgotten, it was the basis of the dark James Coco film The Wild Party (1975) and two musicals in the year 2000. Michael John LaChiusa’s Broadway show boasted big names but suffered a short run, while Andrew Lippa’s off-Broadway version became the one everyone has wanted to remember. Flushed with tension, Wild Party’s action begins when Queenie (Leila Dean), a blonde chorine from vaudeville, is squabbling with her abusive husband Burrs (Jason Bean), a mordant clown possibly based on silent film actor Fatty Arbuckle. To raise their spirits she decides to throw the mother of all parties and make herself attractive to the men who arrive as a way of making Burr jealous. They’re a motley lot, and most are in some form of show business, so
they tend to wear black and flaunt shtick in their entrances. No one makes a bigger splash than Queenie’s friend Kate (Mary Musial) with her show-stopping “Look at Me Now.” To meet the demands of the music Brunson and Searor have cast the net to snare just the right voices. Leila Dean might once have been a Mary Magdalene in a Salt City Center production of Jesus Christ Superstar but she’s been belting them out at rock venues more recently. Tall, almost ghostly in her blonde marcel wig, with epaulet-like tattoos on her alabaster skin, Dean can dominate a scene even before she sings. Last seen in Covey Theater Company’s Rent, Mary Musial’s Kate writhes with the bumptious energy of a young Liza Minnelli. Jason Bean as the fateful Burrs (not always seen in clown makeup) was a community theater discovery when he impressed deeply as Javert in Baldwinsville Theatre Guild’s Les Misérables in March. Company regular Liam Fitzpatrick has made some sacrifices to play Mr. Black, a threatening dude who arrives with Kate. Fitzpatrick has shaved nearly all the hair from his ears to the top of his crown, with what’s left on top pomaded straight back, to look like something from Weimar Germany. The chemistry with Queenie is immediate, and flames are running along the taboo love triangle. Two new faces electrify the two comic second leads: short blonde Mae (Briana Jesse Duger) and plumpish Eddie (Zach Siracuse), who brighten the tone with “Two of a Kind.” Mr. Black’s hair is hardly the only reminder of Weimar Germany. One of the singing D’Armano brothers, Phil (Benjamin Wells), is dressed to look like the Emcee in the Bertolt Brecht-inspired Cabaret. Donnie Williams’ period costumes, the extreme white makeup with blackened eyes, and Marguerite Beebe’s harsh, from-below lighting design could put the party in Berlin instead of Manhattan. SNT

Friends on grey’s anatomy When Grey’s Anatomy premiered in March 2005, I was 16 years old.

David Tennant and Anna Gunn in Gracepoint.
Fall Preview: Gracepoint Up-front season is over, and the fall 2014 broadcast television schedule is set. So grab your DVR remote and get ready to hit record. In the coming weeks, I’ll highlight some of the shows I’m looking forward to. Gracepoint is a remake of the British crime drama Broadchurch, about a city detective and a country detective who team up to investigate the suspicious death of a child in a small coastal town. As a fan of short-run series, I’m looking forward to another show that will complete its arc in only 10 episodes. But this is network television; it relies on advertising revenue. Thus, it may not have the freedom to be as inventive as True Detective (HBO) or Top of the Lake (Sundance). Broadchurch starred David Tennant. Gracepoint will star David Tennant with an American accent. Tennant’s counterpart in the American series is Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), who plays a panicky smart person better than anybody. Though it may be a little soon to “reboot” a series that aired just last year, all signs point Gracepoint as a good bet for crime drama fans this fall.

A GOOD TALE, BUT NO HOME RUN Sometimes fans want to forget about the business end of sports. You know the feeling. Your guy’s on the mound for your squad, two outs in the ninth, bases loaded, best RBI man for the other team at the plate, the lead’s a thin one run. All you care about while you’re leaning forward in your seat is if he’s got heart enough to get that third out. At the start of Million Dollar Arm, the taken-from-life story directed by Craig Gillespie and written for Disney by Thomas McCarthy, it’s obvious that this will be about a man who’s all about the money. Sports agent J.B. Bernstein is running out of it, his company slowly going dry because his big-name clients have retired. A very major pro football player he and his staff of two have been courting for a half-year just said yes. But only if they’d pony up a million-dollar signing bonus the agent and the company simply do not have. J.B. is played with equal parts I’ma-big-shot-look-at-my-house-andmy-model-girlfriends swagger and I’m-gonna-lose-this-all-if-I-don’t-comeup-with-something-crazy-quick angst by Jon Hamm. His lieutenant, Aash, played steadily by Aasif Mandvi, is amazingly loyal and tremendously distracted by his family. One night he stays late drinking at his boss’ big house trying to crack the tough nut, and they click cricket across the screen. J.B. badmouths the sport of his partner’s homeland. But later, surfing between Susan Boyle’s inspirational debut on Britain’s Got Talent and a cricket match, J.B. hatches his play. He convinces a rich businessman to back a trip to India, a competition for the million dollar cricket bowler arm to bring back to the U.S. to train to become a major-league pitcher. Just think of all those T-shirts and hats to sell to new fans in India, J.B. preaches. His India trip to find that kind of teachable talent is slow, excruciatingly hot, noisy, crowded, miserable, confusing.
Jon Hamm as J.B. Bernstein in Million Dollar Arm.
So is the movie for a good, long, stretch at this point. Well, not hot, although J.B. does Skype with his tenant, Brenda, and moves from cold-hearted landlord to slightly interested. But when eccentric, old baseball scout Ray, played with ease by eccentric, old actor Alan Arkin, hears the right pop from baseball meeting leather a couple of times at a sports academy, the heat really is on. The two throwers who win their way to America, and $100,000 and $10,000, respectively, are Rinku and Dinesh. They come from Indian villages that are poor and more poor. The two non-English-speaking athletes, along with a translator and hopeful coach Amit, played delightfully by Bollywood star Pitobash, fly to L.A. Suraj Sharma and Madhur Mittal are darn fine as two young men who must learn English, American customs, baseball, how to pitch, how to handle pressure, and how to not tell J.B. that he’s treating them like crap by ignoring them except for giving them car rides to training and throwing pizza at them every night. Brenda, mostly smiling and always filled with wisdom as played by Lake Bell, is definitely on their side, and wants to be on J.B.’s, too, if only he’d root for these young men he brought to a strange country and not for the business he’s trying to save. Everybody feels really crappy at once. Everybody feels really good at once. It’s a true story, so I’ll jump right to the ending. These two young men sign professional baseball contracts a little more than a year after picking up a baseball for the first time. Which made me smile, sure. But did it make me pump my fist, like when my guy gets the third out in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded? No, it did not. SNT Mark Bialczak is a writer in Syracuse.

This I take from the story by Eric Eisenberg from my increasingly good friends at the site Cinema Blend: “From the moment we learned that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were planning on moving forward with a new big screen version of Batman, comic book fans have been speculating wildly about what the latest version of the costumed vigilante would look like.” Producer Zack Snyder gave a sneak preview of what Batman will look like when 2016’s Batman vs. Superman comes out. He released some shots on his Twitter account. Reporter Eisenberg was impressed. “Finally we have our answer, and it’s pretty stunning,” he writes. There are shots of the cowl and the logo.

I recently mistook a Google Glass tester at Wegmans for a mentally disturbed individual since he kept talking to no one and walking haphazardly as if he were the Jason Bourne brother that they kept in the basement. It’s exciting that we will be seeing much more of this. Some interesting features: a “pay by voice” app that allows you to transfer money to your friends at the command of your voice (great for sleep talkers); a handy camera on your face so the NSA always knows what you’re doing; and an “Apple” sensor that stabs you in the nose to let you know when the new iPhone is coming out.
CASH, CREDIT, OR INSTAGRAM A new “pop-up” eatery in London is letting customers pay for their meals by taking a picture of it (before it’s been digested). Financial experts say it’s going to “pop-down” pretty soon. Be sure not to tip your server by taking a picture of them. That will really piss them off.

THE FCC DEBATES FREE INTERNET:
“Net neutrality” is under fierce debate between open Internet supporters (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Facebook — the good guys) and companies that want to monopolize premium Internet speed by making their customers (us) pay for it (Time Warner, Comcast — which are merging into the Evil Empire.). The Federal Communications Commission says it’s looking at “different approaches” and leaning toward preserving a free internet. Upside: Paying for faster download speeds will guarantee your Netflix never buffers. Downside: It will screw up the rest of the world and make free speech online an unfair game.

Children today get outside half as much as their parents did as kids. — Mail Online
Kindle Fire has a parental control for limiting the time a child has to watch movies, play games or read books each day.

Percentage of toddlers who have an online presence before they are 2. — Mashable.com
Mom and Dad can have their children’s phones’ location accessible at the tap of an app, assuming the child doesn’t “Bourne Ultimatum” them by leaving it behind and playing hooky.
12 seconds
The average human attention span in the year 2000. Today, it’s 8. That’s one second less than a goldfish.
Chances are, if you are reading this, you remember the days when “playtime” meant going outside, no matter what the weather; meeting friends, neighborhood kids, and brothers and sisters; and chasing each other through the woods, around the playground or back and forth through each other’s yards with water guns, dodge balls, homemade swords, capes, flashlights, duct-taped helmets and water balloons. Those were the days. Sadly, “kids these days” don’t as often have those experiences. Though many young people still play organized sports, according to Smart Planet, the average kid spends seven hours a day on some sort of “electronic.” Video games even, thanks to the World Wide Web, connect kids from distant places: instead of your son’s best friend Johnny coming over to play “Contract Killers 4,” eat popcorn, and share dinner conversation with the family, he’s connected via headset and that is all. On the upside, technology is second nature to today’s youth, often for the better. They will have no trouble taking advantage of the innovations the tech world has to offer; they will teach their elders to use these life enhancements; they will cure cancer, AIDS, they will lessen poverty, they can create immediate awareness of social issues; they can train their minds and expand their imaginations — all with a touchscreen. However, as parents, teachers, and mentors, the task of channeling the power of technology our children is weighty and at times, daunting.

ix-dollar martinis all day on Wednesday. Need I say more? Apparently not, because on the Wednesday night we visited, the parking lot was full. My table partook in the standard vodka and gin martinis with a choice of regular or blue cheese olives, but an entire menu with more than a dozen offerings was available, including a Red Velvet and a mango variety. When our server, Cody Kalemba, served us our drinks, they overflowed the glass. She said they were “made with love.” And that is how the very pleasant evening played out at this comfy pub; we felt attended to and cared about. Suitable for working folks, business meetings and families, too, the CopperTop Tavern offers a global menu that includes healthier entrees at less than 600 calories, along with vegetarian and gluten-free options. To start, the avocado eggrolls had come recommended even before Kalemba suggested we try them. They were creamy and spicy and filled with black bean and roasted peppers. They are served with even spicier chips and a tasty mayo-based dipping sauce. We also tried a new offering – stone-fired chicken wings with Italian herb flavoring. These were smoky and not too hot. Our main dish choices traversed the global menu that was advertised. From the favorites menu, Josie tried the fish tacos. These were served more like what I would call a quesadilla, and included
panko-crusted haddock with Santa Fe dressing, pico de gallo, carrots and cheddarjack cheese. Alan chose the Thai chicken noodles off the pasta menu. The noodles had a toothsome texture and a delicious sesame flavor. Alan gave his and all of the plates high marks for presentation. The rest of us ordered off the dinner specials menu, with Doug enjoying salmon with miso flavoring that was light and flavorful and probably the most-favored entrée of the evening. The portion sizes are enormous, so how we had room for a dessert is a mystery. I have never figured out how something as simple as fried dough can be so wonderful, but try the beignets, served with chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces. One order was plenty for the five of us, and a sweet treat to end the evening. In the summer, Coppertop will lighten the menu a bit to offer cooler, lighter options while they bring out the mojitos.

.J. Goss is a “reverse commuter,” driving each day from his apartment in Armory Square to his dental practice in Liverpool. He’s living in his second apartment in Center Armory. After two years in a smaller place, he’s lived in the 1,200-square-foot, two-bedroom, 1½-bath apartment for two months. He almost rented a place near the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, but the courtyard drew him to Center Armory, a retail and condominium complex built in the mid-1990s on what was a gravel parking lot. The condos are clustered around a center courtyard to resemble a small village. “This courtyard is totally unique,” he said. “I feel like I’m part of a community. There are two grills outside, and in the summer there are impromptu gatherings. That’s what distinguishes this from an apartment that’s a door at the end of a hallway.” “The courtyard space and the (underground) garage made it a slam dunk,” he said. His first apartment in Center Armory had a better view, but the current apartment faces into the courtyard, not out onto Walton Street and Armory Square.
05.21.14 - 05.28.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
“You lose the view, but you also lose the street noise.” Goss said his rent is a little over $2,000 a month, plus heat. He also pays extra for a spot in the underground parking garage. The apartment’s owners are also residents of Center Armory. When they purchased the apartment Goss lives in, they got rid of the “Smurf blue” paint and enlarged and renovated the kitchen. It took eight men to carry the single piece of granite for a counter in the kitchen, Goss said. That counter has become the heart of the apartment. “Everybody comes in and sits at the counter,” he said. “They gravitate to it.” Goss said he enjoys cooking, but even when friends come over for dinner, they always seem to end up somewhere in Armory Square. “I feel like I’m in the middle of things living here. It’s a nice little hub to be in.” SNT

If you are dealing with symptoms of menopause, mindfulness meditation can help you tap into an inner reservoir of calm. If TAKE practiced on a regular basis, meditation has also been shown to reduce hot flashes, improve sleep and boost your mood.

WOMEN BENEFIT WITH FEW CHANGES TO DAILY ROUTINE
W
omen — they do a great job of caring for others but not always for themselves. National Women’s Health Week was this month, and women were asked to make their own health a priority.
What does it mean to be a well woman? It means being as healthy as you can, and taking more steps to improve your physical and mental health. This can be achieved through the four following steps: get active; eat healthy; get enough sleep; manage stress through recreation, social support, meditation, mindfulness. GET ACTIVE First, tell yourself you have the time to be active. Then walk, jog, bike, or play a sport for 10 minutes a day; use stairs instead of the elevator; join an office or community sports league; and set specific short-term goals, and reward yourself when you achieve them. EAT HEALTHY A balanced diet is the first building block of health. Women, like men, should enjoy a variety of foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, low-fat dairy and lean protein. But women also have additional needs, including iron-rich foods such as red meat, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, kale, spinach, beans, lentils and fortified breads and
05.21.14 - 05.28.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
cereals; folic acid during reproductive years; and daily requirements for calcium, which keeps bones strong and prevents osteoporosis, found in foods such as low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese, sardines, tofu (if made with calcium sulfate) and calcium-fortified juices and cereals. GET SLEEP Getting the right amount of sleep is vital, but just as important is the quality of your sleep. These tips can improve your quality of sleep: exercise regularly, but not right before bed; don’t drink alcohol at bedtime; don’t just lie there — if you wake and can’t fall back asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed; establish regular bed and wake times; make dietary changes with less or no caffeine and alcohol; and improve your sleep environment so it’s restful. MANAGE STRESS Mindfulness and meditation can benefit women of any age, whether it’s to relieve the stress of a multi-tasking mom or reducing the symptoms of menopause. Evidence shows that mindfulness can increase life
enjoyment by expanding the ability to cope with illness, and benefiting physical and emotional health. Focusing the mind can be an antidote to the stresses of everyday living. Try paying attention to your breath for 15 minutes a day or even at shorter intervals if you need to. Consider focusing breathing when you stop at red light, just before you pick up the phone or answer an email. Before you go to sleep and when you wake up, take a couple “mindful” breaths. Find a task that you do impatiently or unconsciously and concentrate on the experience in a mindful manner. Making your own health a priority for a few minutes a day can help you live a healthier life. Those who love you will be glad you did. SNT Marnie Blount-Gowan teaches meditation and mindfulness and is a member of the Crouse Hospital Integrated Health Alliance in Syracuse.

About 20.4 million Americans do yoga, and it’s a $10.3 billion a year industry, according to a study conducted by the magazine Yoga Journal.

RELEASE SOME STRESS WITH YOGA
A
hhh, Namaste. It’s the salutation spoken at the end of a peaceful and cathartic yoga class. The power and popularity of yoga has grown in recent years as a way to mentally and physically destress from the technology-driven over-stimulated world we live in.
Kim Fischer, owner of the Lotus Life Yoga Center, says yoga is built on the three basic principles: exercise, breathing and meditation. She said yoga promotes wellness, helps ease stress, and boosts balance, flexibility and muscle strength. “It offers so many health benefits,” Fischer said. “Not only the physical body but the emotional and mental aspects.” Mark Ward, of Fayetteville, has been practicing yoga ever since a co-worker convinced him to take a class seven years ago. The 57-year-old director of operations at a local manufacturer said yoga not only helps relieve tension from his job but provides a good source of exercise as well. “Sometimes I’ll take a class in the morning and it sets the tone for the day,” Ward said. Fischer, a certified yoga teacher, has more than 500 students pass through her studio on East Genesee Street each week. She said there is no age limit or required level of fitness required to practice yoga. All that’s needed is an open mind. “All styles can be modified for beginners and experienced students alike,” she said.
Here’s a primer on how to get started to finding some inner peace. Flex Time. The two main practices that serve as the foundation are Hatha and Vinyasa. Hatha includes postures, breathing awareness and focus techniques. Fischer said Vinyasa is the more challenging of the two and mixes sequenced movement with breathing. Assume the Position. Fischer ranked these three positions as the most basic for yoga newbies: Posture pose (Asana): Students sit in a seated position, legs crossed in front. “This is how you learn how to breathe and get into the body,” Fischer said. Tree pose (Vriksasana): There are different variations that include a student standing on one leg with the opposite foot placed on the ankle, calf or inner thigh. “It triggers balance in body and focus in the mind,” Fischer said. Child’s pose (Balasana): This resting pose relaxes the body and helps circulate oxygen and blood. Hit the Mat. Purchasing a yoga mat is a must. Think of it as your personal island where you
will sit, stand and lay down while practicing yoga. Studios and gyms have communal mats for students to use. But who wants to lay face down on a mat that multiple strangers have used? Want something really different? Here’s a sampling of some unique yoga classes: Hot Yoga: Like to get a good sweat going? Hot Yoga is for you. At Lotus Life, this class takes place in a room where the heat is cranked up to 90 degrees with some extra humidity added to boot. Essences Yoga: Mirbeau Spa, in Skaneateles, offers a class that enhances the yoga experience with therapeutic oils such as spruce and grapefruit. Arial Yoga: A cross between Cirque Du Soleil and yoga exercise, students perform exercises while hanging upside down holding acrylic fabric that hangs from the ceiling. Lotus Life offers this class three days a week. SNT M.F. Piraino is a Syracuse-based free-lance writer. Email her with comments or story ideas at mfpiraino1@yahoo.com.

Some people may approach you about “saving” your home. You should be extremely careful about any such promises. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or
visit the Department’s website at www. banking.state.ny.us. The State does not guarantee the advice of these agencies. SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF ONONDAGA.

Your ad Here Only $300 physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727) would have been the charter member. He was like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were to rock’n’roll, like Babe Ruth was to baseball. The theory of gravity and the three laws of motion were his gifts to the world. He made major contributions to mathematics and optics, and was a central figure in defining modern science. There is also a legend that he invented the cat door, inspired by his pet felines. Whether or not that’s true, it serves as an excellent metaphor for this horoscope. It’s an excellent time for you to apply your finest talents and highest intelligence to dream up small, mundane but practical innovations. During the next 12 months you will have exceptional opportunities to soak up knowledge, add to your skill set, and get the training you need to pursue interesting kinds of success in the coming six to eight years. What’s the best way to prepare? Develop an exciting new plan for your future education. To get in the mood, try the following: make a list of your most promising but still unripe potentials; meditate on the subjects that evoke your greatest curiosity; brainstorm about what kinds of experiences would give you more control over your destiny; and study three people you know who have improved their lives by taking aggressive steps to enhance their proficiency.
EMIN
5. 21 - 6.20
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The moon shows us a different phase every 24 hours, which makes it seem changeable. But in fact, not much actually happens on the moon. It has no atmosphere, no weather, no wind, no plant life, no seasons. There is some water, but it’s all frozen. Is there anything like this in your own life, Cancerian? Something that on the surface of things seems to be in constant motion, but whose underlying state never actually shifts or develops? According to my analysis, now would be an excellent time for you to revise the way you understand this part of your world, and then update your relationship with it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Have you thought of organizing a crowd-funding campaign to boost your pet project or labor of love? I suggest you get serious about it in the next four weeks. This coming phase of your cycle will be a favorable time to expand your audience, attract new allies and build a buzz. You will have a sixth sense about how to wield your personal charm to serve your longterm goals. More than usual, your selfish interests will dovetail with the greater good -- perhaps in unexpected ways.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Years ago I had a Virgo friend who was a talented singer. She had technical skill, stylistic flair and animal magnetism, making her worthy of being a lead vocalist in almost any great band. And yet when she was asleep and had dreams of performing, she often found herself standing in the shadows, barely visible and singing tentatively, while her backup singers hogged the spotlight at center stage. Moral of the story: Some of you Virgos are shy about claiming your full authority. It doesn’t always come easy for you to shine your light and radiate your power. And yet you can most definitely learn to do so. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make progress in this direction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “There is always an enormous temptation in all of life,” writes Annie Dillard, “to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end . . . I won’t have it. The world is wider than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Libra, is to transcend whatever is itsybitsy about your life. The alternative? Head toward the frontier and drum up experiences that will thrill your heart and blow your mind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours,” writes novelist Heidi R. Kling. That’s good advice for you to keep in mind these days, Scorpio. Those little imps and rascals that live within you may get you into bad trouble if they feel bored. But if you arrange for them to have play dates with the imps and rascals of people you trust, they are far more likely to get you into good trouble. They may even provide you with bits of gritty inspiration. What’s that you say? You don’t have any demons? Not true. Everyone has them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “When people tell you who they are, believe

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If there was a Hall of Fame for scientists,
them,” writes blogger Maria Popova (Brainpickings.org). “Just as importantly, however, when people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them.” Those suggestions are especially crucial for you to keep in mind these days. You are entering a phase when your best relationships will be up for review and revision and revitalization. To foster an environment in which intimacy will thrive, you’ve got to be extra receptive, curious, tolerant and tender. That’s all! Not hard, right? A good place to start is to proceed as if your allies know who they are better than you do -- even as you ask them to return the favor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “Kludge” (pronounced klooj) is a slang word that refers to a clumsy but effective fix for an engineering problem. It’s a cobbled-together solution that works fine, at least temporarily, even though it is inelegant or seems farfetched. Let’s use this concept in a metaphorical way to apply to you. I’m guessing that you will be a kludge master in the coming days. You will be skilled at making the best of mediocre situations. You may have surprising success at doing things that don’t come naturally, and I bet you will find unexpected ways to correct glitches that no one else has any idea about how to fix.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I hesitate to compare you to your fellow Aquarian Kim Jong-il. When he was alive and ruling North Korea, he was an egomaniacal tyrant. You’re definitely not that. But there are certain descriptions of him in his official biography that remind me of the kinds of powers you may soon exhibit. He was called The Great Sun of Life and Highest Incarnation of Revolutionary Comradely Love, for instance. Titles like that might suit you. It is said that he invented the hamburger. He could command rain to fall from the sky. He once shot 11 holes-in-one in a single round of golf, was a master of gliding down waterslides, and never had to use a toilet because he produced no waste. You may be able to express comparable feats in the coming weeks. (Do it without falling prey to excessive pride, OK?)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Even if you had a sensitive, nurturing mommy when you were growing up, and even if she continues to play an important role in your life, now would be a good time to learn how to mother yourself better. You are finally ready to appreciate how important it is to be your own primary caregiver. And I’m hoping you are no longer resistant to or embarrassed about the idea that part of you is still like a child who needs unconditional love 24/7. So get started! Treat yourself with the expert tenderness that a crafty maternal goddess would provide.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) I believe your persuasive powers will be stronger than usual in the weeks ahead. The words coming out of your mouth will sound especially interesting. I also suspect that your intelligence will get at least a temporary upgrade. The clarity of your thoughts will intensify. You will see truths you have been blind to in the past. Innovative solutions to long-running dilemmas are likely to occur to you. The only potential snag is that you might neglect to nurture your emotional riches. You could become a bit too dry and hard. But now that I’ve warned you of that possibility, let’s hope you will take steps to ensure it won’t happen.

QUICK TAKE
Middle Ages uses the same strain of yeast the brewery started with in 1995. It lives at the brewery, which uses 1,000 gallon metal open fermenters.
By Jessica Novak
How does someone become a brewer? I started out with home brewing and fell in love with it. I started reading more and tried to immerse myself in it. Getting a job in the industry is honestly quite difficult. I met the right person, at the right time, at the right place. It’s a good combination of events that led me here. You’re lucky if you can get in and work for free with an apprenticeship. It’s tough. But smaller craft breweries seem especially popular right now. Shouldn’t that make it easier? To start your own is probably a touch easier because there’s lot more information out there now: home brew clubs, YouTube channels of brewing, books, magazines. But more people are interested now, too. Competition is harder. Brewing seems tedious to me. What draws you to it?
Jess Reaves, 33, has been head brewer at Middle Ages Brewing Co. Ltd. for four years, bringing new flavors to the 20-yearold brewery based on Park Avenue. Known for local favorites like Syracuse Pale Ale, Impaled Ale, Wailing Wench, Swallow Wit and Dinosaur Bar-BQue’s house beer – Ape Hanger Ale – the brews are fixtures throughout upstate New York.

It can be tedious. First and foremost, not many people know exactly how it works. People are still amazed we make beer here. I enjoy the artistic side of it – finding the right flavors, all that jazz. I also really appreciate the science side of it. How do you obtain those flavors? There’s some art in that. Small details make big differences in the end. Anyone who makes beer will tell you. And as soon as you see people drinking your beer or buying it in a store – that’s pretty rad. It’s fun to see people get drunk on your beer, people having fun, and being a facilitator in that. It’s communal. I tell people I’m a brewer, and people are into it. I find it exciting. It’s pretty laborious, but I like that side, too. Everyone I’ve met in the industry is also really cool. I’ve worked with plenty of shitty people in my day. This is the other side. As simply as possible, how do you brew beer? I describe it often as making a pot of coffee. We take malted barley, break it open and run it through a little mill. You crack it open like a coffee bean when you grind it. Mix it with hot water, let it sit in the hot water – called mash – and that’s where we’ll get our color and sugars we need for the yeast. Yeast eventually eat the sugars and creates alcohol. In between – boil it and add hops, depending on the style it is. You throw yeast in when it cools down and eats the sugar, which is doing the work for us. Everything until then is creating yeast food. The yeast shits out
CO2 and alcohol. After that, clean it up, make it look nice, carbonate it. People have been doing it for thousands of years. We’re not reinventing the wheel. But there’s always something new going on. How much do you produce? We put out about 4,500 barrels a year. One barrel of beer is 31 gallons. A half barrel is a standard bar keg, 15½ gallons. I don’t know where the barrel came from. So, about 9,000 kegs a year. It’s broken up about 65 percent drafts and 35 percent bottles. There are a lot of breweries a lot bigger and smaller. We’re middle of the road. Is there a brewery you idolize? It’s classic and cliché, but the quality of beer out of Sierra Nevada is astounding. They consistently lead the way. That said, I love Victory Brewing, Ballast Point and Jack’s Abby. I really appreciate and respect breweries, not to knock, but breweries that are making good beer, simply is not the right word, but when they use barley, water, hops and yeast. People are using seasonings and fruits and all those things. It’s very cool stuff, but I tend to lean toward classic beers. I like simplicity in my beers. If you weren’t a brewer, what would you be? I think everyone wants to be a rock star, right? I’m a drummer, but it’s still a hobby I really enjoy. One nerve-racking thing about taking this job was it was a hobby, something fun I couldn’t get enough of, and I made it a career. I’m very lucky and thankful it hasn’t backfired on me. I studied percussion and sound recording and then radio production. I’d still love to produce. I love being in the studio. Brewing beer and producing are similar in that way: You have a basic process, and it’s up to you to figure out how to use that process, what works and what doesn’t with you and people on the other side. Working with musicians is like working with ingredients. SNT

ENJOY THE HOLIDAY, BUT REMEMBER: IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BARBECUE
T
his is the issue before Memorial Day 2014. We discussed doing something to honor veterans, but the pieces didn’t come together in time. That’s a little disappointing, and embarrassing. The Greatest Generation stopped Nazi Germany in three and a half years, and we couldn’t get our act together to do a cover story. My son, who like many in his generation is chronically undereducated in history and its context, came to me the other day and said he wanted to watch The Monuments Men, a film about Americans during World War II whose mission was to save or recover art stolen throughout Europe by the Nazis. That allowed me, a history buff, to suggest that the next film we watch be Battleground. It’s dated (1949), but it’s a landmark film. It was the first movie after the war to portray U.S. soldiers in a relatively realistic way. They were human and weak at times, not always noble or, as Wikipedia puts it, “gung-ho.” We got about halfway through the film. Old black and white movies aren’t his thing. But he wants to watch the rest of it, maybe tonight, and then he’ll see the deaths of some characters in battle, the famous 101st Airborne Division reply to the German demand for the surrounded division to surrender — “Nuts”

— and the memorable Jodie cadence as the troops are marching out of Bastogne after the encirclement is broken. Want something newer? The story of the 101st Airborne and Bastogne is also told in the decade-old HBO series Band of Brothers. The point isn’t to glorify war. It’s to glorify the choice of men and women to risk their lives for something greater than themselves. Think Lincoln: “that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.” What matters, in 1863 and in 2014, is that their deaths not be forgotten, “that these dead shall not have died in vain.” Memorial Day isn’t supposed to be about barbecues. Or the unofficial start of summer. Or parades. Take a minute. Give the veterans who died for the country a thought. And say, “Thanks.” SNT
