Parting Shot

You can find it this week on page 54; that’s where it usually is, just inside the back cover. Every week in this space, we share with you the position of the New Times on some issue. That’s why we use the rather regal editorial “we.” It’s why the essays are unsigned; they represent the New Times, not any individual. Some weeks it’s easy. It’s not as if the New Times were carving out new ground with our reaction to the racist remarks of Donald Sterling, the soon-to-be-former owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. Or in complaining about the endless, annual, never-ending road work that disrupts

driving in Central New York all summer after winter disrupted driving in Central New York all winter. Other weeks, and this is one of them, we think our Parting Shot deserves special attention. It might have been just politics as usual, but it’s our view that Rep. Dan Maffei ducked a chance to have an intelligent, enlightening exchange with his challenger, John Katko, in this week’s Campbell Conversation with Grant Reeher. That’s not OK. We tell you why in this week’s Parting Shot. We have no interest in spending the next five months watching each candidate, or their allies, misrepresent the views of the other side. We have no interest in spending the next five months watching Maffei minimizing his exposure to his opponent. In these times, we need the nation to tackle its problems, rather than remain stuck in a quagmire where parties put their partisan interests above those of the country. We need both Maffei and Katko to step up. Central New Yorkers deserve that.

An estimated 40,000 old and tattered U.S. flags went up in flames Sunday, May 25, at the state fairgrounds, serving two purposes: The Watchfire ceremony provided a way to legally dispose of the flags, and it served as a bright tribute to veterans who had sacrificed their lives for freedom. According to a news release from the fair, it continues a tradition of building a large fire after a battle to help lost comrades find their way back. More photos on page 40.

Curses, Foiled Again
Police investigating a burglary at a church in Chula Vista, Calif., found a cellphone at the crime scene with a photo that the thief apparently took of himself. After identifying Adam Howe, 26, from the “selfie,” they arrested him and recovered some of the stolen property. (U-T San Diego)
Skullduggery
Authorities accused David Charles, 21, of breaking into the Indiana Medical History Museum numerous times last year and stealing human brain tissue, then selling it on eBay. A San Diego man who bought six jars of the brain tissue for $600, plus $70 shipping, called the museum after noticing labels on the containers. After Indianapolis police investigators set up a sting to nab Charles, the museum’s executive director, Mary Ellen Hennessey Nottage, said the stolen material had been returned and that she had spoken to the San Diego man. “He just said he liked to collect odd things,” she explained.

Below Zero Tolerance
Administrators at a high school in suburban Chicago objected to a state law requiring that 4-by-6-inch stickers warning guns are not allowed be posted in schools, as well as in churches, government agencies and liquor stores. But officials at Tinley Park High School oppose the notices banning guns because an image of a gun appears on them. “You can’t look at this and not think of Sandy Hook,” principal Theresa Nolan said, adding that she would prefer “something more subtle.” (Southtown Star)

While Ubani was delivering a presentation at a conference in Lindau, Germany, the victim’s two sons interrupted him and called him a “charlatan and killer.” Ubani sued the sons, demanding they pay him £2,800 ($4,690) because their disruption caused him to miss a post-conference dinner for which he had already paid. (Britain’s Express)
Deadbeat Dining
A child-nutrition manager dispatched to a Salt Lake City elementary school to investigate reports of parents owing money to the school lunch program ordered cafeteria workers to seize lunches from as many as 40 students. District official Jason Olsen said officials tried to alert parents with overdue balances that the child-nutrition manager was coming but couldn’t reach everyone in time. The students had already received their lunches before they were singled out, leaving workers no choice but to throw out the uneaten food because school rules forbid serving already served food to other students.

Actually it’s not accurate to say that we, the public, are not getting anything in return for the Bruno fiasco. We are getting TAKe a bill. Bruno, the former Senate majority leader, intends to seek up to $4 million in reimbursement for his legal fees.
QUICK
By Ed Griffin-Nolan
THose were the days ... Whenever the stench of corruption rises over the Hudson, as it did this week in Albany with the acquittal of former Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, pundits raise the specter of Tammany Hall. But those comparisons are unfair … to Tammany Hall. The corrupt Irish politicians who kept that famously well-oiled patronage machine of old working for decades at least did something to earn their graft. In a new book, Machine Made: Tammany Hall and the Creation of Modern American Politics, (Norton, New York, 2014) historian Terry Golway gives us a revisionist view of New York politics a century and more back, and it has me thinking how much worse things are now. Golway’s book on Tammany tells of a time when favors and jobs were bought and paid for with votes and tithing to the party machine. Immigrants lined up at their respective Democratic party committee headquarters and waited their turn for the bosses to find them a job, a house, a doctor. It was an unfair system that did not work the way the civics books said it should. But it did work. People got jobs, got houses, got some basic needs taken care of. That was the world our ancestors lived in. That was the social contract before the New Deal. There was no Medicaid for the poor, no subsidized housing or home mortgage interest deduction, no unemployment insurance, no Social Security for the disabled or the elderly. Life was nasty, brutish and short, and the political bosses, while they lined their pockets, made the lives of their people just a bit less awful. Along the way, the system, such as it was, took care of the people (at least some of them). Eventually, Golway argues, Tammany Hall introduced the notion that the government had a social welfare role to play. Laissez-faire capitalism needed some help, and the corrupt politicians of that

era helped push the reforms that redefined how we live and how much misery we will accept. It was a bargain that most of us would be glad to see return. The problem with today’s Albany is not just that it is corrupt. That’s more than obvious. More than that, there is no quid pro quo. We watch legislators and other elected officials make off with our hard-earned money, and we get nothing in return. Joe Bruno can now rest in peace. It’s been nine years since he was charged with accepting bribes from a businessman who had dealings with the state government. He was convicted, then the conviction was vacated, and now he’s been found not guilty by an Albany jury in a federal court. By the rules of the game, we’re all supposed to admit that the system has worked, that justice has been done. Except in the cesspool that is Albany, justice is anything but done. It’s hard to believe that a businessman was paying Bruno $20,000 a month for performing legitimate services. It’s even harder to believe that Bruno’s horse was worth the $80,000 that Jared Abbruzzese paid him. But that’s what the testimony indicated, and what the jury believed. Most proposals to fight corruption go at it by forcing politicians to disclose their outside income. But the jury in Albany just made it abundantly clear that even exorbitant fees that appear to any sensible person as thinly disguised bribes are perfectly fine. In the days of Tammany, no one was fool enough to call a bribe anything other than a bribe. So here’s my question: Why do we allow state senators, already amply compensated for their labors, to accept payment from anyone else, for anything else? It’s a full-time job, with full-time pay. SNT

Some honest but frightening words this week from the sheriff of Albany County, who basically said that there is no defense against a volatile crude oil fire should one erupt on any one of the trains that carry the crude east across New York to the Hudson. “It would be almost unrealistic to think that we could fight … that fire. It’s not going to happen, and nor do I think that any municipality in the country can fight that,” Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told a meeting of the Albany Common Council. Apple was realistic but frightening in his assessment of the problem, which is new to a state that until last year had seen no significant crude oil shipments. The oil coming from North Dakota’s Bakken oil field is three times as volatile as other forms of crude. “We have a plan set up for one car, two cars, three cars — anything over four to six cars, we’re not going to be able to fight,” he said. “It’s going to be a matter of ‘Listen, let’s evacuate, let’s stabilize, let’s try to protect property at that point and let it burn.’ ” Two trains carrying Bakken crude have derailed in New York, with no serious leakage or fires yet.
It could be an intriguing Jeopardy category: “octogenarian former public officials on trial for corruption in riverside capitals.” During the same week that a federal jury in Albany set Joe Bruno, 85, free to enjoy his ill-gotten gains, an Egyptian court in Cairo convicted former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 86, and his two sons on charges of embezzlement of public money. Mubarak’s earlier conviction on murder charges for ordering his troops to gun down protesters in Tahrir Square during the spring 2011 uprising that ended his rule was overturned on appeal last year. syracusenewtimes.com | 05.28.14 - 06.04.14

No one seriously expects criminals to turn in a gun and deprive themselves of a tool of the trade. Upshot: Buyback programs TAKe take low-risk weapons away from low-risk individuals.
QUICK
By Cecil Adams
Several years ago, I turned in a gun for cash during a police buyback program. For me it was a practical exchange. But do these programs have any impact? Are communities with buybacks experiencing less gun-related injury or crime? — Tom in San Jose

05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
DO GUN BUYBACK PROGRAMS ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING? Generally speaking, no. Gun buybacks are like a congregation declaring their church a nuclear-free zone. No doubt it makes them feel virtuous. But the practical impact is nil. Gun buyback programs operate on the premise that fewer guns in society means fewer crimes, suicides and accidents — or, at least, fewer deaths from those causes. Many cities have offered buybacks, but studies of their effectiveness almost always find no impact. Examples: — Neither St. Louis nor Seattle saw reductions in murders or assaults with guns after their buyback programs. — Boston’s sizable gun buyback programs coincided with a decrease in the city’s crime rate, but crime decreased at similar rates in cities without buybacks. — A multiyear study of Buffalo’s gun buyback programs found a reduction in armed robbery using guns, but no significant difference in other gun-related crime. So why don’t gun buyback programs work? — Most U.S. programs are local and scattered, as opposed to national or even statewide. Since guns can easily be transported, isolated efforts amount to bailing the ocean. — And bailing with a teaspoon at that. Typical haul per buyback: 1,000 guns. Total guns in the U.S.: 300 million. To put it another way, in 2011 there were 10,000 gun homicides. Given the number of firearms, that means any particular gun has a 1-in-30,000 chance of being involved in a killing. On the unlikely assumption that the number of gun deaths is strictly proportional with the number of guns, the typical buyback reduces the death toll by one-thirtieth of one corpse. — Some take advantage of gun buyback programs to dispose of useless weapons. In Sacramento, a quarter of the guns collected were broken; in a Seattle, a sixth were. — Buybacks tend to yield a lot of rifles and shotguns (aka long guns), small-caliber handguns and other firearms not commonly used by criminals or in suicides. In Boston’s 1993 and 1994 buyback programs, 2 percent of the guns retrieved were large-caliber handguns. Despite substantial new incentives for handguns, in 2006 this figure increased to only 26
Illustration by Slug Signorino
percent. A Sacramento study found 63 percent of handguns turned in were small caliber. Attempts to improve the effectiveness of buyback programs have met with little success. Unhappy with the response to its earlier efforts, Boston took several steps to improve the impact of the 2006 buyback: offering a $200 Target gift card for each handgun (but none for long guns) and providing alternate drop-off locations that weren’t in police stations. However, it also required everyone turning in a gun to present ID (to keep out-of-staters from cashing in worthless old handguns). Result: The turn-in numbers for 2006 were at best no better than in ’93 and ’94. Some will say we need a national buyback program. Ignore the fact that such a program is politically impossible. Would it work? To get an idea, we can look to Australia, which banned some long guns after a 1996 massacre in which 35 were killed and 23 others wounded by a gunman using assault rifles. As part of the ban, the government launched a nationwide program offering market value for the newly prohibited weapons. The take was 650,000 guns, about 20 percent of the country’s firearms. Granted, Australia was a special case: an island nation can control its borders more easily than most places. More important, the buyback was attached to a gun ban; those who hung onto illegal weapons faced criminal charges. Even so, the impact of Australia’s program is disputed. One study found no benefits at all, while another claimed the homicide rate decreased 5 percent to 10 percent. Gun-related suicides decreased significantly, but the overall suicide rate didn’t. True, yet another study credited the Australian buyback with a 74 percent decrease in the gun suicide rate and a 35 percent to 50 percent decrease in the gun homicide rate. But the evidence for attributing the gun homicide drop to the buyback is unpersuasive. Gun buybacks do put a few bucks in the pockets of people like you who want to get rid of unwanted firearms, and conceivably they reduce accidents from “unloaded” guns lying around the house. But overall, do they reduce gun killings, or killings period? Don’t kid yourself. No. SNT Send questions to Cecil via straightdope.com or write him c/o Chicago Reader, 350 N.

now what I’m doing at this very moment? I’m snacking on yummylicious Trader Joe’s quinoa and black bean infused tortilla chips with Trader Joe’s corn and chile tomato-less salsa.
And you’re almost certainly not. How’d that happen? Last week, in a flash of American entrepreneurial genius, I drove to the Trader Joe’s in Rochester. You’ve heard of Rochester, right? It’s 90 miles away, and just like Syracuse except it has a Trader Joe’s. In theory, we’re getting a Trader Joe’s too — in DeWitt, at the current Raymour and Flanigan Sleep Center. Maybe sometime this fall. Maybe. But you know how things go around here. How’s that Clark’s Ale House roast beef sandwich tasting? Of course, my trip to Rochester wasn’t merely to fill my belly with award-winning Trader Joe’s specialty items. As a public service, I purchased duplicate products for distribution here. I have in my possession about $100 in unopened non-perishables, and yeah, I got the good stuff ... the Speculoos Cookie Butter. Original. Crunchy. And cocoa swirl. How awesome is it? As it says on the jar: “All you have to do is taste it to understand!” Let’s talk business. First, review the product list below and email me, Trader Jeff, at jeffmkramer@gmail.com. In your
note, specify which product(s) you want and why I should sell them to you at a mere 100 percent markup when I could easily command a much higher price. Once I have your email, I might get back to you, particularly if I deem your content interesting/amusing/ desperate enough to include in a follow-up column. If you get a reply from me, it’s possible that the communication will provide a location — a dark ally or parking lot perhaps — and a precise meeting time. The communication might strongly recommend that you don’t even think about trying to pay with a check. Cash only. My time. My investment. My terms. Deal with it. Here’s the price list: Pomegranate and BlueBerry Clusters cereal ($7.98) Cranberry Drizzle Dunkers ($9.98) Peaberry Kenya coffee ($15.98) Candied pecans ($7.98) Boatswain Chocolate Stout ($4.58) Annie Chun’s miso noodle bowl ($3.98) Speculoos Cookie Butters ($7.38 each, $7.98 for cocoa flavor) Pomegranate vinegar ($7.98) Artichoke/red pepper tapenade ($6.98)
TJ’s KC barbecue sauce ($5.38) Thai lime and chile cashews ($13.98) Chocolate-covered toffee popcorn ($5.98) Wild salmon jerky ($10.98) Quinoa and black bean tortilla chips ($5.38) Corn and chili pepper salsa ($4.98) TJ’s vintage orange sodas ($7.98) Frosted pomegranate toaster pastries ($4.98) Dark chocolate-covered edamame ($6.98) Dales Pale Ale (6-pack cans) ($19.98) Brown rice and quinoa fusilli pasta ($5.98) Arrabiatta pasta sauce ($6.58) Chicken and sweet potato dog treats ($6.98) Matcha green tea latte mix ($7.98) Dark chocolate-pistachio toffee ($7.98) Do you find my prices excessive or my selections too pomegranate-heavy? Fine. Worst case for me is that I get stuck with duplicate Trader Joe’s delicacies that no one else around here can enjoy until fall at the earliest. O, the humanity! I might have to scarf an entire extra bag of Thai chili and lime cashews. Another of my faves, which I will happily keep for myself, is the salmon jerky, which has been jerkified in maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar and sea salt. It’s like a Charleston Chew made of fish! If my email inbox is jammed, keep trying. Once you’re in my database, I can apprise you of any future Trader Jeff’s events. For example, one of the nearest Trader Joe’s that sells wine is in Framingham, Mass., where I have big-time connections. With sufficient pleading from Central New York beverage enthusiasts, a certain moonlighting columnist might be inclined to drive to Framingham, load up his Honda Element with multiple cases of TJ’s signature cheap-but-surprisingly-decent red wine, Two Buck Chuck, and discretely distribute it here to select customers — at the usual mark-up, of course. Four Buck Chuck is still a heckuva deal. SNT Email Jeff Kramer at jeffmkramer@gmail. com. Follow him on Twitter at @JKintheCuse.

#BRING BACK OUR GIRLS By Godriver Odhiambo The abduction of the 276 girls in northern Nigeria by Boko Haram militants is a tragic event and an evil that should be condemned and stopped at all costs. This is a terrorist group hiding under the cloth of Islam. First, the Bornu area and some parts of northeastern Nigeria are populated by many Muslims. This was caused by 19th-century Islamic jihads The result was the creation of the Sokoto caliphate. These jihads revolutionized the area, politically and socially. It lagged behind during the colonial period as the British used indirect rule in the caliphate, while the south, where the colonial administration was based, saw socio-economic projects which possibly led to the disparity between north and south. However, if there are socio-economic and political issues, these should be addressed with the government, instead of using religion or our girls as leverage. Boko Haram’s assertion that education is harmful is contrary to the teachings of Prophet Mohamed, who emphasized stopping injustices to the poor, orphans, widows and women in general. What they have done is the very injustice condemned by the religion they subscribe to. The Prophet taught about women’s rights to property. Threatening to sell the girls reduces them to mere items of trade, besides denying the girls their rights. This seems like modern slavery. Islam forbids the enslavement of a fellow Muslim. Boko Haram is just a terrorist group, and its action has nothing to do with Islam; it’s an antithesis of what Islam stands for. This group must be stopped, like any other terrorist group. They are not only dangerous but cowards who abduct girls who are brave enough to venture into dangerous zones in pursuit of an education. As an African woman, my heart goes out to these girls who dared change their destiny through education. I see myself in these girls and wonder sadly and quietly where I would be if I didn’t take the same steps years ago. In Africa, education is a means out of poverty. SNT
LOOK BEYOND THE WEST SHORE TRAIL By Joe Heath Last week’s photo essay on the West Shore Trail painted a lovely vision: verdant woodland against the backdrop of the blue, open expanse of Onondaga Lake. Unfortunately, the environment portrayed in this photo essay is only skin deep. The Onondaga Nation has a vision for a fully healed and restored Onondaga Lake. Sadly, reality does not match the Nation’s vision. Perhaps we should be calling this newly opened trail what it is: the “Waste Bed Trail.” As general counsel for the Onondaga Nation, after more than three decades of learning from the Onondagas, I see things differently. I see the sacred lake where the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was formed, but I also see its devastation into a hazardous waste landfill that is being capped and entombed beneath the lake. I see multiple industrial waste

sites throughout the landscape, filling wetlands that once supported a biologically rich and diverse community of plants and wildlife central to the Haudenosaunee way of life. In 2009, the Onondaga Nation insisted that regulators look at the human health risks posed by the waste material underneath and around the Waste Bed Trail. The fences and signs posted along the trail remind us that there are risks to adults and adolescents who go off trail, from the cadmium, hexavalent chromium, benzo(a) pyrene, and manganese in the dust that they might kick up. We worry about the young children and infants visiting the trail, who were not included in the risk assessment. Looking down at the temporary Visitor’s Center constructed by Honeywell, I reflect on the disrespectful way the Nation’s concerns about the design of
Frank Cammuso
the Lake Bottom Remedy were ignored. In 2005, the Nation called for a complete dredging of all contaminated sediments. Now, the barrier wall and groundwater treatment system stand as a testament to the plume of dichlorobenzene and other chlorinated solvents that extends under Interstate 690 and will never be completely removed. Looking beyond the highway, I am baffled by the vast amount of mercury that regulators have allowed to remain at the LCP Bridge Street site — mercury measured in tons and not pounds or parts per billion, mercury going 55 feet down into the soil. Mercury is a neurotoxin that in infinitesimal amounts can harm wildlife and humans. Walking toward Ninemile Creek, I remember the Crucible landfill site, where industrial waste with hazardous levels of chromium was deposited for 10 years. Will the benzene, toluene, xylene, phenols and naphthalene that were dumped in these waste beds along with the Solvay waste be adequately controlled once a remediation plan is adopted for this area? The effect of industrialization and contamination on reptiles and amphibian communities at the lake was devastating. Populations struggled or died off. In painful ways, this is reminiscent of what has happened to the Onondagas in the last two centuries: Their original homelands, with abundant habitat, were taken illegally and then polluted heavily and their health, culture and well-being have suffered as a result. The Onondaga Nation takes its role as stewards of Onondaga Lake seriously. Watching, listening and taking time to understand the complex effect of over a century of industrial activity on this sacred landscape is painful. As it is, the Nation views this superficial change with a sorrowful eye. There is still so much work to be done. With a vanishing point of reference, it’s difficult for some to imagine what Onondaga Lake was like before industrialization, making it hard to see what it could and should be in the future, but we can and must do better. Our great-great-grandchildren deserve it. Read the Nation’s vision for the lake at www.onondaganation.org. SNT Joe Heath is general counsel for the Onondaga Nation.

MINISTER BLAMES UGANDA’S ANTI-GAY SENTIMENT ON U.S. EVANGELICAL MINISTERS For years, Rev. Mark Kiyimba has witnessed what could be called the moral colonization of Uganda. Evangelical ministers, financed by American Christian megachurches, enlisted celebrities, high-profile preachers and a legion of missionaries to preach a toxic message: Westerners were trying to unravel the East African country’s social fabric by spreading the “disease” of homosexuality to its children. Those ministers — stung by their failure to stop the advances in civil rights for gays and lesbians in the United States — targeted predominantly Christian Uganda, Kiyimba said, because more than one-half of the country’s population is under the age of 25. The efforts of those Western missionaries has paid off. On Feb. 24, Uganda’s parliament passed a law making homosexuality punishable by up to life imprisonment. It also proposed years in prison for anyone who counsels or reaches out to gays and
lesbians; that includes renting a home to a known gay man or lesbian, or providing medical assistance. The law also seeks punishment for those who know someone is gay and fails to report it. Parents face imprisonment for sheltering their own gay child. Human Rights Watch reported that since December violent attacks on LGBT people in Uganda increased nearly tenfold. LGBT people and those perceived to be gay are being beaten in the streets, denied medical attention and fleeing to neighboring Kenya. Kiyimba is in Syracuse to ask for help. “You as Westerners have the power to help us quench this terrible fire,” he said. “We need you to speak to your evangelical ministers who have been spreading this hate speech.” Kiyimba (pronounced KEY-em-ba) is the founder and senior minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Uganda, which preaches the acceptance of all people. That makes the 38-year-old minister
and his congregation criminals under the new law. A straight ally to LGBT people, Kiyimba has received hundreds of death threats. Kiyimba, a National Education Association award winner for his leadership in human rights, runs a school for 650 children who have lost parents to HIV and AIDS and an orphanage for 22 children infected with the virus. At 7 p.m. Saturday, May 31, ArtRage Gallery, 505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse, will host a free showing of the Sundance Film Festival winner God Loves Uganda, a powerful documentary by Academy Award winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams. The film chronicles American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting “sexual immorality” and missionaries trying to persuade Ugandans to follow biblical law. Kiyimba will lead a discussion after the movie. Kiyimba will also be the guest preacher at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 1, at Plymouth Congregational Church, 232 E. Onondaga St., Syracuse. At 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 3,
All Saints Catholic Church, 1340 Lancaster Ave., Syracuse, will host a presentation with a question-and-answer session with Kiyimba. “Eighty-five percent of Ugandans support the anti-homosexuality law,” said Kiyimba, who believes the criminalization of LGBT people in Uganda has been largely ignored by the West. “We know well here in Uganda what happens when you spread hate,” he said.

interview John Katko is the Republican, Conservative, and Independence Party challenger to Rep. Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse) in the 24th District. Katko recently stepped down as a federal prosecutor to run. Editor’s note: Grant Reeher hoped to have both Katko and Maffei on the program at the same time. They were invited to appear when Congress was not in active session. Reeher told them both that if only one of them accepted the invitation, he would go forward with an interview. Katko accepted; Maffei declined, without citing a reason. Grant Reeher (GR): You’re a lawyer. Give me your “brief” on why you think voters should not return Dan Maffei to office. John Katko (JK): It starts with jobs, the economy, failed leadership and the failure really on both sides of the aisle in Congress to address looming major issues, including fixing the entitlement programs and fixing the budgets, and more importantly the debt that is crippling our country. What has he done? What has he done in regards to any of the issues I just cited, especially the debt? He has done nothing. That’s a microcosm of what the Democrats in general are doing — they are not addressing that 800-pound elephant in the room, and that is the debt. GR: What are the most significant policy differences between you and Maffei? JK: I am more of a pragmatist. I think you have to address the big structural issues, and I think he doesn’t want to do that. I think he either thinks it’s too hard, or he just simply doesn’t have the stomach for it. But you know the most important things in life that you do are often the most difficult. When I took on the gang task force when I saw gang issues in this city, (people said) it’s insurmountable, and to try to bring together multiple agencies to work on it was not going to happen. I made it happen. And I think I can take that same mentality to Washington and say, look, you know the Democrats and Republicans haven’t been getting along lately. I have to go down and make that happen. You have to stop calling each other names, stop trying to just toe the party line and sit down and have a reasonable discussion on how to address this. Any rational politician will tell you that the debt is a huge issue in this country, but nobody has an answer to it. Sitting down together is the way to do it. GR: If elected, what kinds of issue areas would you put most of your attention on? Would it be the debt? Would that be your primary issue?
05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
JK: At least bringing light to it, yes, absolutely, because that really is the future of our country. The other things that I would like to work on are veterans issues for one, which is a major issue in this country and is becoming a bigger issue, and several other things, but the debt is primary, job one. GR: What committees might you try to get placed on? JK: Based on my background I would definitely love to get on the Judiciary Committee. I have 20 years in the Department of Justice. There are many things that I have seen that I would like to change, but I also would like to get in on something that has to do with the budget or appropriations, to try and have a voice in that for Central New York. GR: What are the specific things you might want to push to attack the debt? You’ve only got a few mechanisms here: There are taxes, there are deeper spending cuts, so what are you thinking there? JK: I think you have to look at everything in spending and look at it in the light of, do we need this? I spent 20 years working with the Department of Justice, and I can see firsthand that there are areas in which we can be leaner and meaner and save some money. The hard question is, and another thing that my opponent doesn’t want to discuss or debate, is the entitlement programs. I want them to be here for future generations, and I think it is completely irresponsible that no one is taking a look at them. We need to fix them going forward, so that our future generations will have the advantage of the same programs that we have. Everybody that I talk to in their 30s or 40s, or even my age in their early 50s, most of them are banking on the fact that Social Security is no longer going to be there, and we don’t want that to happen. GR: So you have brought up a few “third rails” in American politics: You’ve mentioned your openness to thinking about the entitlement programs. The other one of course is taxes. So are you open to thinking about different kinds of revenue sources that might help to fix this problem? JK: I am never going to say never to anything, but I don’t think that it should even be remotely discussed unless we’re in a crisis mode. I don’t want it to be said that at the end of this discussion, I meant to say higher taxes. No way! I think that has always been the easy way out. The hard way out is to

www.wsenfm.com roll up our sleeves like our forefathers did and make the tough decisions. And as far as the “third rail” goes with entitlements, that’s one of the problems I have with politics. Every time we say “fix entitlements,” everyone says, “Oh, my God, you might throw Grandma out in the street and let her starve to death.” Well that’s ridiculous. My parents are on social programs. They are on Social Security, they have Medicare. I want it there for them and I don’t want it to be reversed for them. We are very smart people as a country; we can find ways to fix it together, but not separately. GR: You’ve never held elected office. You have never worked in or served in a legislature. Why do you think you would be effective in this role? JK: One of the problems with our current system of government is that too many people are making politics a career. When you rely on being a representative of your people as your career, I think you make decisions that
are ultimately self-serving. I don’t think that is good for the country and, quite frankly, I think my opponent does that. I’m not that, I have had my career. I want to go down to Washington for the right reasons. I want to serve for as long as they need me, and I make that decision based on what the people need and not on what I need.
Pets of the Week Meet Cami!
GR: Can you give me an example or two of the decisions that you think that Maffei has made that you think might have been self-serving? JK: Sure, he moved to Washington. He lives there. I would never do that, that’s one. GR: Anything else? JK: I think that a lot of times he votes based on pressures from his party, and you see that on his handling of Obamacare. He is on record that he never read the bill before he voted for it, which to me is the ultimate irresponsibility. Once the bill was passed, he saw what has happened and some of its impact in Central New York and he started to run from it. He is moving to repeal portions of the very bill he voted for. After he saw that Welch Allyn lost 200 jobs.

Interview John Katko
continued from page 15
Interview JK: Part of the problems in Congress are at their feet, too, and there is no question about that. Both sides are wrong for not sitting down with each other; there is no question about it. I happen to think that the leadership in this country, the real failure, is at the top. President (Barack) Obama is a very polarizing figure and basically, it is his agenda or forget it. And I look at two well-respected presidents in the not too distant past, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. They both had strong people on the other side. Clinton had (House Speaker) Newt Gingrich and Reagan had (House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip”) O’Neill. Tip O’Neill and Reagan were titans in their parties. They found a way to get along, and they found it through leadership, and so did Clinton and so did Gingrich. We don’t have that now. It starts at the top. The Democratic and Republican sides are at a gridlock in Washington, and neither one has clean hands in it.
GR: The Maffei campaign is already painting you as Tea Party-ish. So where are you? Would you consider yourself to be a moderate Republican? JK: I don’t want to give myself a label. I am a fiscal conservative. I think I am basically a social conservative, but I am also a pragmatist. By that, I mean, I want to get the job done. One of Ronald Reagan’s famous sayings is, “I’ll take 60 percent now and I’ll keep working on the other 40 percent.” That’s a good way to go in, a good attitude to go into Congress with. And about my opponent trying to call me a Tea Partier: He is trying to be divisive, and that is a good example of him not wanting to really engage in the issues. He is trying to label me as some Tea Party conservative. I have never said I was a Tea Partier, no one has ever said I was a Tea Partier, except him. It is really irresponsible for him to try and do that type of labeling, and it doesn’t serve the public at all. GR: Let me try this again: Rep. Richard Hanna and former Rep. Marie Buerkle. Which one are you closer to? JK: I don’t know. There are qualities to both of them that I like and there are
16
qualities to both of them that I don’t agree with, so I’m not going to pigeon-hole myself. GR: Now, you mentioned pragmatism several times. The pundits are putting a very high probability on the Senate going over to a Republican majority in the fall. So let’s just imagine that that happens. Will you enlist in another set of efforts with your party colleagues to roll back Obamacare? JK: I don’t know if you say roll back. Obamacare is a mess, and the 10 (million) to 8 million people that are in Obamacare — 6 million of those are people that had their insurance policies canceled when Obamacare went into effect. So it is nowhere near the raging success that they said. Why is it that Obama on his own has made a decision not to implement the mandate for employers to provide insurance? Why did he delay that until after the elections? He sees a ticking time bomb for small businesses. There are a lot of good parts about Obamacare. Every American should have health insurance. If we could make it happen, absolutely. If up to 26-year-olds have their (parents’) insurance, great! There are some good parts of it. But quite frankly it was so thrown together and was so ill conceived that I am not sure if it can be fixed. And I would like to sit with both sides and (make an) honest, bipartisan effort to find a replacement for it that works. I’m not saying throw it out and forget about it, let’s find something that works. GR: So let’s imagine you could have a conversation in Congress that would result in some kind of significant change. You know right now that it is going to get vetoed by the president. And that veto is not going to be overturned. So that just seems like an exercise in pointlessness. JK: Yeah, you say that, but I think that enough of the Democrats are running away from Obamacare as an issue in this election as it is. That you need 10 more votes, right? I think it is 10 to overturn the majority in this. You need 60 votes, I believe it is.
05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
GR: You are talking about getting something through the Senate?
campaign is Syracuse and homegrown and that is going to help us.
JK: Overcoming the veto. So, at first I don’t subscribe to this thought that there are some Democrats who would cross party lines to do this. And it is incumbent upon us as leaders to get a bill that everyone supports, instead of having one like this that is just a mess.
GR: In the last election, Maffei did only two debates. I noticed in his press release this time, in agreeing to debates with you, he used the phrase “televised debate.” That doesn’t leave very many opportunities. How are you going to try to get him to do more public things, where you are both there and you can interact with each other?
GR: The most recent reports of recent fundraising that I have seen show you trailing Maffei by quite a large margin. If outside money pours into this race again like it did in the past two elections, that kind of spending could be much larger than the internal money that either of you would raise. But I imagine that the concern for your campaign is that if you don’t raise enough money yourself, early on, then that outside money won’t ever come in to this race. That is a bit of a Catch-22 for you. How are you dealing with that? JK: We have a great financing team. Our finance chairman worked for (Rep. James Walsh). We have an unbelievable experienced amount of people on it. And then, over the next six weeks, we are going to have a tremendous number of high-quality fundraisers. The last week alone, I took in $50,000 in donations. So we are going to hit our mark, and here is what is important about that: The Republican National Committee has targeted our race as one of the top races in the country. And we are on what’s called “on the radar,” which means that we are definitely a race to look at. And if we get a certain benchmark again by June, then we (could be) what they call a “young gun,” which means we are at the top amount of support from the national party, and from leaders all over the country. But make no mistake about it: We are doing this on local money, unlike our opponent. If you go down the (Federal Election Commission) filing list to see my percentage of money coming from local people, as opposed to national people, it’s a stunning difference. Mr. Maffei’s campaign has bought people from out of state, and his campaign manager is from Georgia. Our entire
JK: We’re just going to have to keep asking him. I think the hallmark of our democracy is fair, open and honest debate. It has been that way since our country was born and I think it is really tragic that he is not interested in fair, honest and open debate, and I don’t know why. And I think that is a real problem for him. It is not a problem for me, because I will talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere. You have to have a dialogue. You don’t have to scream at each other. But how can the American people make a choice if they don’t have the ability to size up the candidates side by side? And the fact that he doesn’t want to appear with me probably is a good indication of how he feels about standing side by side with me and letting people compare us. And not even debates; let’s sit down and have a cup of coffee or a beer and talk, and let people size us up. Why is this such a big hurdle? Why wouldn’t you do that? Don’t you want the American people to have some faith that you can handle a little heat? GR: What professional or creative achievement in your life so far has surprised you the most? JK: Well, I would have to say my work in helping to create the gang task force and all the success it has had in Syracuse. I never in my wildest dreams thought that we would be that successful in dealing with the gang problem in Syracuse. I am forever proud of that, and I am eternally grateful for all the great people that I have worked with in that job over the years. Grant Reeher will attempt to have both candidates together for a Campbell Conversaton before the election.

10 THINGS TO DO AFTER BUYING A NEW PHONE For all of you who bury it out in the yard, throw it off a cliff and flush it down the toilet — and for everyone else, too — here are a few tips on what to do right after you’ve purchased a new phone. Disclaimer: This article is entirely satirical in nature. Nothing I say can ever be used in real life as true advice for any reason whatsoever.
1 Use protection. 2
Make sure it’s an iPhone. OK, I’m not serious. Maybe a little.
There several ways to go about this. One is to buy a case that allows you to let a freight train run it over without scratching it. I recommend the Lifeproof case: It’s waterproof, windproof, drop-proof and foolproof. It will even do the dishes for you while you are sleeping. Way better than the Otterbox, which is only water-resistant and is physically impossible to remove from your pocket once you’ve fit it in. Really bad for those days when you “gotta go” and can’t make it to the bathroom on time. The second way to protect your phone is to get insurance. If you go through Apple, you will basically have to pay for a second phone between the “care plan” and the deductible, so you are better off going to your cell carrier, which will rip you off even more over the course of 24 months. The last option is to put that money aside so you can swap it out if and when a ninja rips it out of your pocket and makes the nearest elephant stomp it to pieces. Lastly, there is the hybrid of the two protection plans: hiring a ninja elephant to do the dishes for you while you’re sleeping; or something like that.
3Register your phone.
4
There will come a day when you leave your phone at the park, get robbed by a travelling salesman (and we mean literally) and forget to turn off the iron – yes, all in the same day. Hoping that your house did not burn down and the salesman did not steal your laptop, there are ways of finding out exactly where you left your phone even if the only place you went today was the park and you “just can’t remember” where you left it. Purchasing a phone comes with all sorts of instructions to go with it. Most simplify the process by automatically prompting you through all the setup features upon starting it up and also connecting it to your computer. The handy “Find My Phone” app is priceless. Given the thief, if any, hasn’t pulled your SIM card from the phone, you still should be able to find its GPS location if you access the program on another computer. This feature supposes you have a computer first; if not, go get one of those.
Make sure you have all the correct power cables.
When Apple switched power cables from 4S to 5, millions of American wallets groaned. It’s true, however, that you don’t want to be driving to Timbuctoo and suddenly realize you brought the wrong cable. Car jacks, home jacks and jack-o-lanterns need to be switched out in some cases. They usually “give” you only one with the new phone. The rest is up to you. A word to the wise: Buying a Dollar Store version of the cord you need gets you what you paid for. It will probably ruin your phone and could burn down the rest of the house that didn’t when you left the iron on. Spend the extra 49 or whatever bucks to get the real deal.
5Transfer your data.
Perhaps the most annoying thing next to seeing “lost your numbers, comment and give me yours” on Facebook is actually losing all your data in the first place. Any smart phone buyer or salesperson will help you transfer your contacts from old phone to new – even if it’s from the Stone Age. Transferring apps, pics, and notes can also be accomplished seamlessly by backing up your data on your computer and reloading it onto your new device. Many cell carriers can assist with this also.
CHANGE OF PLANS
6Check your data plan.
Especially for the those going from rotary dial to smartphone, knowing how many movies you can watch on Netflix, hours of thumb gaming and thousands of texts messages you can send is pretty important, especially when your bill comes at the end of the month and you can’t pay your mortgage because of your overage charges. Check. The. Terms. And then adjust for your personal data use. This goes especially for you “Framily” plan users, if you share data and minutes (then more than one mortgage will go unpaid).

Explore new possibilities.
Life is all about going from the known to the unknown. It’s about time you did that with your phone. While there’s nothing like the tried and true mainstay apps, trying out the latest and greatest, even if you have to cough up a couple of bucks can be well worth it. Go out there: Ask your friends what they are using, and explore “top sellers” and stuff that makes your life easier.

Schedule your next upgrade.
That might seem a little hasty, materialistic and downright snobbish … and let’s be real, it is. But knowing when you’re up for a discounted or entirely “free” (with a two-year extension to your contract, your first born son and the blood of a virgin) new phone is something to be excited about. Don’t miss that exciting opportunity!
9Enjoy it!
It’s your new phone. Flash it around, text in public a lot, leave it on someone else’s desk at work: “Who’s new iPhone 5s is this?” “Oh, that’s mine, sorry.” Ha, ha. The world is full of “new phone snobs,” and now you are one of them. Congrats! Now have fun with it.
10Put it down.
Put the phone down. There are a million other things to do, and many can’t be done effectively while getting interrupted by your handy device. Flush it, go outside, fly a kite, ride a horse, swim across the English Channel, discover a new favorite hiking spot, ice cream place, music store, find a new cool bar, meet someone new, go on an adventure. Life is full of beautiful things to do without your phone. Never forget that. SNT

DRILLING FOR CERTAINTY:
THE LATEST IN FRACKING HEALTH STUDIES

Much is not known about the effects of the byproducts of hydraulic fracturing on public health, even though the technique has been in use for over a hundred years. Here, Naveena Sadasivam of ProPublica summarizes the research and some recent studies.
F
or years, environmentalists and the gas drilling industry have been in a pitched battle over the health implications of hydrofracking. But to a great extent, the debate — and the emerging lawsuits and the various proposed regulations in states — has been hampered by a shortage of science. In 2011, when ProPublica first reported on health problems afflicting people living near gas-drilling operations, only a handful of health studies had been published. Three years later, the science is far from settled, but there is a growing body of research to consider.
05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
Here, ProPublica offers a survey of some of that work. The studies included are by no means a comprehensive review of the scientific literature. There are several others that characterize the chemicals in fracking fluids, air emissions and waste discharges. Some present results of community-level surveys. A long-term, systematic study of the adverse effects of gas drilling on communities has yet to be undertaken. Researchers have pointed to the scarcity of money available to pay for largescale studies as a major obstacle in tackling the issue. A review of health-related studies published recently in Environmental Science & Technology concluded that the scientific literature puts forward “both substantial concerns and major uncertainties to address.” Still, for some, waiting for additional science to clarify those uncertainties before adopting more serious safeguards is misguided and dangerous. As a result, some researchers and local activists have been pushing for more aggressive oversight immediately. The industry, by and large, has regarded the studies done to date — a number of which claim to have found higher rates of illness among residents living close to drilling wells — as largely anecdotal and less than convincing. “The public health sector has been absent from this debate,” said Nadia Steinzor, a researcher on the Oil and Gas Accountability Project at the environmental nonprofit Earthworks. Departments of health have become involved only in states such as New York and Maryland, where regulators responded to the public’s insistence on public health and environmental reviews before signing off on fracking operations. Those states have a moratorium on fracking. Former New York Health Commissioner Nirav Shah, who resigned in April, was conducting a review of health studies to present to Gov. Andrew Cuomo before Cuomo decides whether to allow fracking in the state. It is unclear when the results of the review will be publicly available. Other states, such as Pennsylvania and Texas, have been much more supportive of the gas industry. For instance, Texas has been granting permits for fracking in ever increasing numbers while the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the agency that monitors air quality, has had its budget cut substantially.

An Exploratory Study of Air Quality near Natural Gas Operations. Human and Ecological Risk Assessment, 2012.
The study, performed in Garfield County, Colo., between July 2010 and October 2011, was done by researchers at the Endocrine Disruption Exchange, a non-profit organization that examines the impact of low-level exposure to chemicals on the environment and human health. In the study, researchers set up a sampling station close to a well and collected air samples every week for 11 months, from when the gas wells were drilled to after they began production. The samples produced evidence of 57 chemicals, 45 of which they believe have some potential for affecting human health. In almost 75 percent of samples collected, researchers discovered methylene chloride, a toxic solvent that the industry had not disclosed as present in drilling operations. The researchers noted that the greatest number of chemicals were detected during the initial drilling phase. While this study catalogued the chemicals found in air emissions from gas-drilling operations, it did not address exposure levels and their potential effects. The levels found did not exceed safety standards, but there has been much debate about whether standards adequately address health threats to women, children and the elderly. The researchers admitted their work was compromised by their lack of full access to the drilling sites. The air samples were collected from a station close to what is known as the well pad but not the pad itself. The gas drilling industry has sought to limit the disclosure of information about its operations to researchers. It has refused to publicly disclose the chemicals that are used in fracking, won gag orders in legal cases and restricted the ability of scientists to get close to work sites. In a highly publicized case last year, a lifelong gag order was imposed on two children who were parties to a legal case that accused one gas company of unsafe fracking operations that caused them to fall sick. In 2009, the Independent Petroleum Association of America started Energy In Depth, a blog that confronts activists who are fighting to ban fracking and challenges research that in any way depicts fracking as unsafe. Energy In Depth responded to this Garfield County study and criticized its lack of proper methodology. The blog post also questioned the objectivity of the researchers, asserting that their “minds were already made up.” The industry has also been performing its own array of studies. Last year, for instance, an industry-funded study on the methane emissions from fracking wells was published in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It concluded that only very modest amounts of methane – a contributor to climate change — were being emitted into the air during fracking operations. The study came under heavy criticism from Cornell University researcher Robert Howarth, who two years before had published work that claimed methane emissions from shale gas operations were far more significant. “This study is based only on evaluation of sites and times chosen by industry,” he said.

Birth Outcomes and Natural Gas Development. Environmental Health Perspectives, 2014.
The study examined babies born from 1996 to 2009 in rural Colorado, a state that has been a center of fracking for more than a decade. It was done by the Colorado School of Public Health and Brown University. The study asserted that women who lived close to gas wells were more likely to have children born with defects such as oral clefts and heart issues. For instance, it claimed that babies born to mothers who lived in areas dense with gas wells were 30 percent more likely to have congenital heart defects. The researchers, however, were unable to include data on maternal health, prenatal care, genetics and a host of other factors that have been shown to increase the risk of birth defects; that information was not publicly available. A common criticism of many scientific studies is that they do not fully analyze the possibility of other contributing factors. The study has thus come under attack from both the industry and state public health officials. Dr. Larry Wolk, the state’s chief medical officer, said “people should not rush to judgment” as “many
20
factors known to contribute to birth defects were ignored” in the study. But Lisa McKenzie, one of the lead authors of the study, said there was value to the work. “What I think this is telling us is that we need to do more research to tease out what is happening and to see if these early studies hold up when we do more rigorous research,” she said. In Pennsylvania, Elaine Hill, a graduate student at Cornell University, obtained data on gas wells and births between 2003 and 2010. She then compared birth weights of babies born in areas of Pennsylvania where a well had been permitted but never drilled and areas where wells had been drilled. Hill found that the babies born to mothers within 2½ kilometers (a little more than 1½ miles) of drilled gas sites were 25 percent more likely to have low birth weight compared to those in non-drilled areas. Babies are considered as having low birth weight if they are under 2,500 grams (5½ pounds). Hill’s work is under review by a formal scientific journal, a process that could take three or four years.

Health Risks and Unconventional Natural Gas Resources. Science of the Total Environment, 2012.
Between January 2008 and November 2010, researchers at the Colorado School of Public Health collected air samples in Garfield County, Colo., where there have been intensive drilling operations. Researchers found the presence of hydrocarbons, including benzene, trimethylbenzene and xylene, all of which have been shown to pose health dangers at certain levels. Researchers maintained that those who lived less than half a mile from a gas well had a higher risk of health issues. The study also found a small increase in cancer risk and alleged that exposure to benzene was a major contributor to the risk. “From the data we had, it looked like the well completion phase was the strongest contributor to these emissions,” said Lisa McKenzie, the lead author of the study. During the completion phase of drilling, a mixture of water, sand and chemicals is forced down the well at high pressure, and is then brought back up. The returning mixture, which contains radioactive materials and some of the natural gas from
the geological formation, is supposed to be captured. But at times the mixture comes back up at pressures higher than the system can handle, and the excess gas is vented directly into the air. “I think we ought to be focused on the whole thing from soup to nuts because a lot of the potential hazards aren’t around the hydraulic fracturing step itself,” said John Adgate, chair of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Colorado School of Public Health and co-author of the study. Energy In Depth, the industry blog, responded at length to this study and cited several “bad inputs” which had affected the results of the study. The researchers’ assumptions and data were criticized. For instance, the researchers had assumed that Garfield residents would remain in the county until the age of 70 to estimate the time period over which they would be exposed to the emissions. “Unless the ‘town’ is actually a prison, this is a fundamentally flawed assumption about the length and extent of exposure,” Energy In Depth said.

Entertainment analyst Bill DeLapp previews this summer’s hotsy highlights at the movie houses
he summer moviegoing season seems to get an earlier start every year. Hollywood once followed the school calendar to coordinate releases, which meant a bumper crop of product was unleashed during a six-week period, mostly from June’s end to early August. Then studios got the bright idea of spreading out the blockbusters, first opening earlier in June, then eventually followed by May premieres. This season has already seen audience stampedes for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2), Neighbors (May 9), Godzilla (May 16) and X-Men: Days of Future Past (May 23), although things got going even earlier with the April 4 kickoff of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which is still kicking around the multiplexes.

Several aspects of the 2014 cinema summer remain the same: The season is still front-loaded with what the studios fervently believe are sure things, followed by an August dumping ground in which 17 movies will see wide release patterns to grab what’s left of the dog-day dollars. Aside from that impending logjam, it’s interesting to note the movies that are not on the summertime slate, such as the annual Pixar-Disney animated moneymaker. The anticipated adaptation of the hotsy 50 Shades of Grey novel, once scheduled for Aug. 1, has been pushed to February 2015. And Fast and Furious 7, which was set for July 11, will now be released in
April 2015, an understandable accommodation for rethinking and reshooting the sequel following co-star Paul Walker’s November death. So in a schedule that seems lighter than usual on die-hard movie franchises and family-geared flicks (the 2013 dance card offered a glut of animated features that dueled at the box office), this summer’s movie program hopes to strike a balance between original works and audience-friendly projects. Here’s a chronological rundown of what to expect. Edge of Tomorrow (June 6). Didn’t Hollywood already do this in Groundhog Day? In this futuristic entry, a combat-shy
soldier (Tom Cruise) is killed during an extraterrestrial attack yet somehow gets drawn into a time loop that forces him to keep reliving the incident as he attempts to rewrite his own history. Didn’t Hollywood already do this in Groundhog Day? This is another one of Cruise’s periodic dips into the sci-fi pool (Minority Report, Oblivion, War of the Worlds) that ensure the star’s leading-man bankability (he turns 52 on July 3) — or at least until he’s asked to appear in an inevitable Expendables sequel. Didn’t Hollywood already do this in Groundhog Day? The Fault in Our Stars (June 6). Author John Green’s 2012 best seller is translated
to the big screen in this young-adult romance involving a terminal cancer patient (Shailene Woodley) and an amputee (Ansel Elgort). Expect a four-hankie workout for the teen demographic, which should respond in huge numbers for a weepie that could be in the same mega-league as Love Story and Titanic. How to Train Your Dragon 2 (June 13). The 2010 animated blockbuster, which managed to incorporate action, comedy, a last-reel shock and lots of heart, has led not only to this sequel but also a third stanza down the road. Everybody’s back behind the microphones, too, including Jay Baruchel, Kristen Wiig, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, America Ferrara and soonto-be-ex-talk-show host Craig Ferguson, plus newbies Cate Blanchett and Djimon Hounsou. 22 Jump Street (June 13). Jonah Hill follows up his Academy Award-nominated turn in The Wolf of Wall Street by going back to his comedic roots, as he co-headlines with Channing Tatum as undercover coppers for this second helping of slob-comedy antics. The 2012 21 Jump Street (based, of course, on the 1980s TV police procedural with Johnny Depp) was a box-office sleeper, so the sequel smartly doesn’t tamper with the low-jinks formula, this time with Hill and Tatum going covert at a college dorm. Jersey Boys (June 20). Credit director Clint Eastwood for making one wise casting call for his movie adaptation of the Broadway jukebox musical smash: He snagged John Lloyd Young, who earned a 2006 Tony Award for his incarnation of falsetto songbird Frankie Valli. This R-rated telling of the Four Seasons’ rise on the music charts and their run-ins with mobsters might seem an atypical venture for Eastwood, but he’s always harbored musical inclinations; Eastwood has scored several compositions for his movies, as well as guiding the 1988 passion project Bird, his biopic on jazz NEXT PAGE

HOLLYWOOD saxophonist Charlie Parker. Plus, at age 84 (on May 31), nobody’s going to tell this grizzled auteur what he can’t do. Think Like a Man Too (June 20). This sure-thing sequel to the 2012 sleeper farce, based on comic Steve Harvey’s bestselling rumination on the differences between men and women, has even more marquee power now thanks to the steady popularity of Kevin Hart, whose stand-up concert movie Let Me Explain did to-the-moon box-office business last summer, followed by his winter smash Ride Along with Ice Cube. (He was in Grudge Match, too, not that anyone remembers.) Relocating this flick’s attractive cast (including Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Gabrielle Union) for more battle-of-the-sexes action in a Las Vegas setting should hopefully mine more laughs than last autumn’s bland Last Vegas could muster. Transformers: Age of Extinction (June 27). Director Michael Bay’s robot reboot also gives annoying actor Shia LaBeouf the boot, much to the relief of his many non-fans, as Mark Wahlberg takes the leading role. The crunching special effects remain this franchise’s drawing power, even though it’s painfully obvious after three movies that Bay (an apparent stockholder for the Hasbro toy line) is unable to choreograph the on-screen carnage without it becoming a hyper-edited visual blur of incomprehensibility. Director Guillermo del Toro handled it all much better in last summer’s sci-fi spectacle Pacific Rim. Deliver Us from Evil (July 2). In one of the summer’s few horror entries, a cop (Eric Bana) teams with a priest (Edgar Ramirez) to battle demonic forces. Director Scott Derrickson also guided 2012’s twisted Sinister, a high point in recent sicko cinema. Earth to Echo (July 2). Kids help out a troubled alien in this sci-fi family flick, which was made by Walt Disney Studios,

then strangely sold off to Relativity Media for distribution. This is a good thing? Relativity will surely have its hands full trying to secure screen dates during the crowded Independence Day marketplace. Tammy (July 2). Melissa McCarthy has enjoyed several years as a reliable scene-stealer for Identity Thief, The Heat and Bridesmaids. Now she makes her bid for leading-lady stardom in this tailor-made road-trip comedy; she cowrote it with her husband Ben Falcone, who also makes his directorial debut, so the blame game won’t go very far if this R-rated vehicle fails to take off. The premise features McCarthy as cuckolded spouse Tammy, who winds up traveling to Niagara Falls with her alcoholic granny, played by Susan Sarandon. (Alison Janney, by the way, plays Tammy’s mom; there’s an 11-year age difference between the ladies.) McCarthy and Falcone both have sizable improvisational chops so they should be able to bring the funny. Still, what’s Nia Vardalos been up to lately? Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July 11). When 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes went bananas at the box office, 20th Century Fox quickly green-lighted this follow-up. Andy Serkis, the go-to guru for motion-capture performance roles, again handles the physical incarnation of leading ape Caesar, with his emoting enhanced by computer-generated technology. Rise star James Franco is not involved with this party, although he can always fall back on his General Hospital gig. Jupiter Ascending (July 18). The Wachowski filmmakers, Andy and Lana

(formerly Larry, but now enjoying life as a tranwoman), get spacey again with this expensive sci-fi adventure featuring That ’70s Show’s Mila Kunis as Windy City janitor Jupiter Jones, who learns that she’s destined for greater immortality in our universe — much like Keanu Reeves’ Neo character discovered for himself in The Matrix movies masterminded by the Wachowskis. As a bounty hunter who must protect the comely custodian, Channing Tatum adds some beefcake to the otherworldly proceedings. Planes: Fire and Rescue (July 18). The instant sequel to last summer’s animated hit from Disney. Planes cost $50 million to make and grossed $220 million in worldwide revenues, which isn’t too shabby for a movie that was originally tabbed as a straight-to-video item until it was rerouted to multiplexes. Dane Cook and Stacy Keach return to the microphones for this second helping, which also boasts a story credit by longtime Pixar honcho John Lasseter. The Purge: Anarchy (July 18). The instant sequel to last summer’s lucrative shocker, which earned a massive $89 million on a paltry $3 million budget. Returning writer-director James DeMonaco offers another riff on his creepshow premise that involves the legalization of all criminal mayhem, including murder, for a 12-hour-only shift. Makes you think, doesn’t it? This installment deals with a young couple (Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez) experiencing auto woes on Los Angeles’ mean streets just when the annual purge commences, as they try to avoid becoming two more fatalities.
Hercules (July 25). Dwayne Johnson, in an acting stretch, plays the mucho macho muscleman in this swords-and-sandals spectacle guided by Rush Hour auteur Brett Ratner. It’s hard to gauge if audiences are pumped for such epics: The Legend of Hercules grossed about 11 cents when it briefly visited multiplexes last January. Johnson follows a cinematic conga line of previous Hercs, including bodybuilders-turned-thespians Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Kirk Morris and Alan Steel. Magic in the Moonlight (July 25). Writer-director Woody Allen’s annual summer gift to art-house exhibitors is this romantic comedy set on the French Riviera during the 1920s, with Emma Stone as a bogus psychic who predicts complications for Colin Firth as an English investigator. There aren’t many writer-directors like Allen still around who can claim they were also a guest panelist on the old What’s My Line? game show. Sex Tape (July 25). The title tells all in this raunchy comedy with Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal as longtime marrieds who jazz up their connubial bliss with some videocamera hanky-panky between themselves, then discover the perils of iCloud storage when their neighbors stumble onto it. The supporting cast includes Rob Lowe, and given his instances of tabloid history, he could have also served as this film’s technical adviser. Get On Up (Aug. 1). This James Brown biopic from The Help director Tate Taylor and co-producer Mick Jagger features an electric performance by Chadwick Boseman as the Godfather of Soul, following his acclaimed turn as baseball legend
Clockwise from top: Dwayne Johnson as Hercules. Kerry Brown/ Paramount Pictures; Mickey Rourke in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For; Colin Firth and Emma Stone in Magic in the Moonlight; Scarlett Johansson as Lucy; and Chadwick Boseman as James Brown in Get On Up. D. Stevens
Jackie Robinson in 42. Lurking on the fringes is Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd as a talent agency head. Guardians of the Galaxy (Aug. 1). A hot-shot space pilot (Chris Pratt) joins forces with a band of alien zanies in this spinoff from the endless Marvel Comics superhero universe. It’s the summer’s biggest question mark, as well as a litmus test for the Marvel brand’s popularity, especially when the movie was teased at the tail end of last autumn’s Thor: The Lost World, in a head-scratching clip involving Benicio del Toro as a bizarre collector that only made sense to Marvel die-hards. Some of these guardians will be computer-generated effects, such as loose cannon Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper, perhaps with a nod to Howard the Duck) and Vin Diesel as a walking, talking tree, plus expect the obligatory cameo and wisecrack from Marvel maestro Stan Lee. ’Nuff said. Lucy (Aug. 8). In what sounds like the plot for yet another Marvel Comics escapade, a drug mule (Scarlett Johansson) for Taiwanese mobsters derives super powers (including enhanced braininess) from the experimental narcotics that were implanted in her body, then she starts banging the appropriate heads to exact payback. Gallic action specialist Luc Besson (The Professional, The Family) wrote and directed this slam-bang soufflé, which takes a thematic page from his influential La Femme Nikita. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Aug. 8). Producer Michael Bay orchestrates this umpteenth reunion of the campy kiddie fave, with hubba-hubba Megan Fox leading the human cast as they interact alongside the computer-animated
martial-arts crimefighters. Nostalgia fans might be the best audience to get any kicks out of this oft-played shell game, however. The Expendables 3 (Aug. 15). This threequel earned headlines when top dog Sylvester Stallone publicly dissed Bruce Willis, his old Planet Hollywood comrade, for skipping this installment. (Willis allegedly wanted more bucks.) Newbies such as Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford offer fresh marquee bait, however, while this stanza will provide a lighthearted variation on the geezers-Geritol-and-guns formula as the stars spoof their own Jurassic-era iconic images as cinema’s last action heroes. A hoped-for PG-13 rating might also broaden the tentpole’s target audience. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (Aug. 22). Here comes the long-delayed follow-up to the stylized 2005 noir entry, which featured the then-unique aspect of cast members emoting in front of green screens, with effects dropped in during post-production. Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke are back for more hardboiled mayhem in a quartet of separate stories, which are presented mostly in sharp black-and-white visuals, although this time there will be plenty of three-dimensional elements that will pop off the screen, such as bullets, babes and dead bodies. Again sharing the directors’ chairs are Frank Miller, the creator of the Sin City graphic novels, and Robert Rodriguez, now aligned with the El Rey cable network. And don’t fret about the notion that some characters that may have previously expired in the 2005 edition are in harness once again. Didn’t Hollywood already do this in Groundhog Day? SNT

G REVIEW
ifford Family Theatre’s production of The Cat in the Hat (running through June 14 at Le Moyne College’s Coyne Center) is emphatically not the Lynn Ahrens-Stephen Flaherty musical Seussical, or even a stripped-down kids’ version of it. This little confection was whipped up by actress-playwright Katie Mitchell recently for London’s National Theatre, a place where they think even 6-year-olds can get a joke without having it explained to them. As with the original Dr. Seuss books, the emphasis here is not on some great narrative arc but rather the delight in telling the story, wherever it should lead. Some prerecorded music appears to enhance the driving wit: One section includes the Boots Randolph madcap saxophone romp from The Benny Hill Show. But that does not mean Cat in the Hat is all slapstick. The action begins quietly with two children, Boy (Ryan Bannen) and Sally (Carrie Bates), complaining about being stuck in the house with nothing to do on a rainy, cold day. Their only companion is the Fish, played by Natasia White, who holds a hand puppet in a bowl but also speaks the creature’s lines. Never limited by the confines of the bowl, the Fish speaks for adventures to be had at sea, like encounters with whales. At this point actress White begins to circle the stage, roaming out into the audience, as the Fish
puppet lets out a cascade of bubbles. This is followed by a loud bump and the entrance of the frisky Cat (Christopher Lupia), ready for mischief. Sure enough, he’s wearing a tall, tilting topper with red and white stripes that looks just like the illustrations. Jason Grasso’s scenic design puts everything we see on small, silent casters, which means that all the surroundings could just fly away at a whim, which they do. The aim of this Gifford Family production might be to introduce youngsters to the art of human invention on the live stage, but it moves as fast and seamlessly as what the kids are used to from television or even video games. What follows is a kind of surreal vaudeville show with the Cat as the ringmaster. First he shows the children how to play tennis. We never see the speeding ball, but we hear a convincing “Thwack” as it connects with the racket. Abruptly he switches
to a 16-inch bicycle, which roars with motorcycle sound effects as he crosses the stage. Lupia is not incidentally the tallest, most massive member of the cast, with loose hips adept at twerking or the hula. When he mounts the tiny bicycle he really evokes a bear at the circus. Picking up on the circus motif, the Cat is fond of a soft, large ball with no bounce. Throw it and it just goes “Plop!” Yet it is good for standing. With both feet on the ball, the Cat holds up his umbrella, the same one whose handle he has just played as a flute. All the while he balances a cup on the top of his hat. There is already growing tension, however, from the worry-wart Fish, who whines that Mother will be upset to see what a mess the house has become. Without much motivation the Cat drags in the big, red wooden box designed for the game of “fun in a box.” The handling of this otherwise obvious device displays Matt Chiorini’s contributions as the show’s director. Adults in the audience immediately grasp that the box is actually cardboard and feather-light, but pretense makes it appear heavier. When the Cat catches his tail (a train of raggedy cloth) under the box, he squeals in pain and then cossets and soothes it. Once the box is ensconced adjacent to the wings, it becomes a surreptitious doorway. Through it fly the two creatures called Things (Lucas Greer and Peter Medici), dressed in what look like red pajamas and blue fright wigs. The Things are a tumbling act, with first-class acrobatic feats, but they also tear around the stage spreading havoc. The Coyne Center’s opening night-performance of The Cat in the Hat was packed with first and third graders, who watched with open-mouthed glee and awe. Not all good lessons have to be made of broccoli and spinach. SNT

In November, actor Paul Walker died while shooting Fast and Furious 7. Everybody knew the studio would have to TAKE finish the movie, with so much invested in the popular car chase franchise. See the narrow column below for some facts about the production.

BARRYMORE, SANDLER GIVE BLENDED HEART So Adam Sandler’s character wobbles up on his walker and swears to his bored 60-year-old kids that he’s not at all interested in that available same-wing neighbor played by Drew Barrymore sitting at the senior living center social table with her own set of uninterested offspring. No, not this time around, in Blended. Maybe that scene will come five or six Barrymore-Sandler collaborations and four decades down the line. Blended, the third in the movie world of Adam likes Drew, proves that 16 years after The Wedding Singer and a decade past 50 First Dates, Sandler’s sensitive side still knows how to live harmoniously with his comic chops when he’s standing alongside Barrymore. In Blended, written by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera and directed by Frank Conrad, Sandler plays Jim, a widowed father of three girls, and Barrymore is Lauren, a split-from-her-cheating-husband mother of two boys. We meet them on a blind date at a Hooter’s, as disastrous a first go-out if ever there was one. He can’t look her in the eye, she can’t cut him any slack, there’s food and drink emergencies, and his bail-me-out-buddy call comes before hers. How dare he! Comic conversations are heightened by their work sidekicks, played with just a hint of subtlety by Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs) and complete cartoonish but lovable buffoonery by Shaquille O’Neal. It turns out that Jim’s big boss at Dick’s Sporting Goods — Dick — what did you think? — is dating McLendon-Covey’s character, Jen. But she squashes a romantic getaway vacation he has planned for them to Africa at his revelation that he’s got five children. Dick sells one half of each of said trip to Jim and Lauren, who of course do not know this until they meet in the lobby for this Blended getaway. What a nightmare! They are convinced at once: she, the ultra-organizer whose business puts together people’s closets; he, the manager of a sporting goods store who named his middle daughter Espn (yup, think cable sports TV) and still brings all of his daughters to his barber

shop for their haircuts, even the 15-year-old. Yes, there is the silly slapstick stuff you’d expect from a Sandler comedy. He puts her rambunctious youngest son on an ostrich in a ring, with him, in a see-who-rides-longest contest, much to her horror. She parachutes pulled by a jeep at his behest to be bold. The jeep runs out of gas, much to their horror. And yes, there is the heart-warming stuff that made The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates both work as their characters discover the yes-no-yes-no of each other’s personalities. Throw in the needs and demands of their children, and everybody grudgingly likes eating at the same vacation table before the week is over. And Sandler and Barrymore have scored three movies in a row with a big, beating heart. There are obstacles to overcome, of course: Lauren’s smarmy ex-husband, Mark, played as a really cocky SOB by Joel McHale (Community) and a house band that won’t go away, led by muscle-bound Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine). But plenty of people are rooting for them, including their kids and most everybody in the theater. SNT Mark Bialczak is a writer in Syracuse.

Did you dance, cry or change the channel in disgust when the Billboard Music Awards folks threw the hologram of Michael Jackson up there for the world to see? In fact, the reappearance of famously departed MJ to dance to his song “Slave to the Rhythm,” from his new album of previously unreleased songs, Xscape, caused a “cool” or “creepy” outcry all over the web. What in the name of film blogs does this have to do with movie news, you ask? Well, you see, trailers are getting out about the upcoming film Life of Crime. It’s a 1970s crime drama taken from the pages of the novel The Switch, which happens to be from the mind of the late Elmore Leonard. When Dutch was alive, Hollywood made great little films out of his novels. Get Shorty, with John Travolta and Gene Hackman, anyone? Jackie Brown came from his Rum Punch, and Pam Grier and Samuel Jackson thanked him very much. Life of Crime is taken from vintage Leonard, writes Cinema Blend’s Mike Reyes, involving “a housewife whose husband doesn’t get too worried when she’s kidnapped by two thugs demanding a ransom.” So, I say, if they can use Dutch Leonard’s novels to make new movies, they can make new albums out of Michael Jackson’s newly discovered recordings, and have him dance on TV via a hologram. My vote: not creepy. And, go see Life of Crime when it hits theaters.

YOU GET TO BE YOU, BUT I DON’T GET TO BE ME Modern Family has always had clever conversations about relationships: gay and straight, family and friend. The relationship at the forefront of last week’s finale was not the relationship between Cam and Mitch, the gay couple getting married. It was the relationship between Mitch and his father, Jay. Warning: Spoilers ahead for the last few episodes of season 5. Jay has always been tolerant of his son’s sexuality, and accepting of Cam. But he was never truly comfortable with it. In the third-to-last episode of the season, Mitch and Jay got into a fight. Jay infuriated Mitch when he invoked the “let me be me” mantra of the gay rights movement to justify his own discomfort with gay marriage. “I didn’t choose to be uncomfortable,” Jay says. “I was born this way.” Though the statement was deflected with a nod to Lady Gaga’s “gay anthem,” it’s more poignant than the writers let on. That is one of Modern Family’s greatest strengths: the ability to make profound statements with just enough humor to take the edge off. It’s a technique the writers have used in conversations about diversity, parenting, marriage and (of course) equality. Sitcoms have often been factors in normalizing social change; look at All in the Family, Murphy Brown, The Ellen Show or Will & Grace. When Modern Family debuted in 2009, six U.S. states allowed same-sex marriage. Today, just five years later, 19 states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage. The show debuted just four months into the epic Prop 8 debate in California. It was a watershed year in the passage of marriage equality and civil union bills. Modern Family took the debate by the horns, but not in the way you would think. It took on samesex marriage by making it a complete non-issue. Since the beginning, the most fabulous aspect of the show’s depiction of gayness has been that it is but one thread in the fabric of the family quilt. This isn’t a show about how Cam and Mitch are gay. It’s a detail that informs the bigger

picture, but it isn’t the picture. Even in this poetic finale, when two gay men were married with great fanfare amid the show’s characteristic hijinks, the gayness of it all was but a part of the bigger picture. The big picture was — as it often is on Modern Family — one of love and family. It was about loving your child even if gay, or if he wields obscure scientific knowledge to save you from embarrassment at a department store. It was about loving your parent even if that’s still challenged by your sexuality, or if he uses you to break into a dry-cleaners. It’s not about where the love happens or what you’re wearing. It’s about who you’re with. That’s all that matters in the end.

Fall Preview: Gotham Based on characters created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger for the DC Comics “Batman” franchise, this new Fox series explores the origins of Batman, beginning with the pivotal murder of his parents. We’ll see a young Detective Gordon (Ben McKenzie), a young Detective Bullock (Donal Logue) and a young Alfred (Sean Pertwee). Thirteen-year-old David Mazouz will star as the young Bruce Wayne. From the trailer, it looks dark and broody, with lots of rain. Sounds pretty Batman-y to me. At a time when we’re all starting to grow a little weary of superhero franchises, this show somehow stands apart from the pack. Maybe it’s because it’s a television show instead of yet another gargantuan blockbuster movie. Maybe it’s because, presumably, it will tell more nuanced stories than the three-hour smash fests we’ve become accustomed to. Maybe it’s Ben McKenzie’s jawline. Either way, this looks like a solid series. Gotham airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. on Fox starting in September.

lot of life has been packed into the skinny building on Syracuse’s North Side. The building, at 537-539 N. Salina St., vacant for nearly 20 years, is only 13.9 feet across on the outside. Inside, it’s 11 feet wide in places. “It’s an iconic building,” said Joe Falcone, who owns and has renovated the building tucked between a restaurant, Francesca’s Cucina, and the North Side CYO. “It’s the narrowest building in Syracuse,” he said. North Side lore has it that the space was originally a 13-foot-wide fire access to North State Street until an elderly Italian man bought it and built the narrow building with the ornate facade. It was first a bank, built between 1890 and 1892, a place where recent immigrants could send money back to their home countries, Falcone said. Over the years, the building was also occupied by a Chinese laundry, a bait shop, a cafe and a clairvoyant. But it is perhaps best known for the wood sign above the front door: “Michael’s Genuine Fresh Italian Products (Home Made Noodles).” The sign belongs to a grandson of Michael DiRentz, the Michael who made pasta in the little building from 1947 until his death in 1995. Then his wife, Angelina, took over the pasta business for a time. The couple lived upstairs, on the second and third floors. The building stayed in the family, vacant but echo-
05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
ing with family memories, making it difficult for the DiRentzs’ son, Anthony, to part with. Anthony, a retired state police investigator, died in 2011, and his children inherited the building. Falcone bought it in December 2012 and began renovations in October 2013, after removing a boiler containing asbestos and lengthy reviews by the city code enforcement and state historic preservation offices. The building was gutted, he said. “The only things left were four walls and a roof,” he said. “The bones were good. It has a solid infrastructure.” Falcone moved staircases from the back of the building to the side, replaced the windows and refurbished the facade and the balcony doors. The first floor will be rented as commercial space. Upstairs, Falcone installed dark oak floors and built a custom kitchen on the second floor. The third floor has two bedrooms, one overlooking North Salina street. The bedrooms may be narrow, but Falcone said he measured to make sure each will accommodate a queen-sized bed and a dresser. He kept as many details of the building as possible, but some features, such as the original arches in the living room, were odd sizes and difficult to work with.
What he couldn’t use, he donated to the Syracuse Habitat for Humanity ReStore. He was able to save the original pedestal sink in the full bath and found new floor tile that was an exact copy of the original. The new subway tile in the shower is also an exact copy of the original. The original arches separating the living room and kitchen were replaced with columns, which define the space “so it wouldn’t look like a bowling alley,” Falcone said. The clock in the roof peak, stopped at 7 o’clock for decades, is being repaired and will be reinstalled. Falcone said he will go slow in renting the apartment, to make sure he has the right tenant. “It was so much work and so unique. I’m pretty proud of the building,” he said. Falcone has roots on the North Side. From 1945 to 1990, the family insurance business had its headquarters at 635 N. Salina St. “It was time for a Falcone to be back on North Salina street,” he said. Falcone himself may be back on North Salina some day. He’s toying with the idea of moving into the apartment himself, once his grandchildren are older and he’s ready to downsize. “I think the city can be proud of this building, and I can be proud,” he said.

HERE’S A SWEET DAY TRIP
E
verybody knows about the wine trails in the Finger Lakes, plus the beer trail and the cheese trail.
But you might not know about the Finger Lakes Sweet Treat Trail. The trail, in its third season, has more than 20 stops and spotlights local baked goods, honey, maple products, jams, jellies, fruit, fruit wines and more. The trail is a program of the Cayuga County Office of Tourism. A few of the featured stops include: Man in the Moon Bake Shoppe and Cafe, King Ferry. Cheesecake cupcakes are the calling card at this country bakery, but you will also find cookies, layer cakes, doughnuts, Half Moons, pies, cupcakes, breads, muffins, tarts, cinnamon buns — the list goes on. Information: maninthemooncheesecake.com New Hope Mills Store and Cafe, Auburn. The store has all kinds of provisions for baking and making pancakes at home, well beyond the extensive New Hope Mills line of products. The cafe has coffee, baked goods, light lunches and — on Fridays only — all-you-can-eat pancakes for $3.99. Try to beat the record of 22 pancakes. Information: www. newhopemills.com The Lake House Sweetery, Union Springs. Temptations include layer cakes, Italian cookies,
pies, muffins and homemade cinnamon buns (Friday and Saturday mornings only). Information: www. thelakehousesweetery.com Fly By Night Cookie Company, Fair Haven. Sixty-five varieties of homemade cookies, pies, eclairs and other baked goods — all the time. That’s definitely worth a drive to Fair Haven to get your Tasting Tour Pass stamped. Information: www.fairhavenny. com/cookiecompany/ Here’s how the Sweet Treat Trail — and the Tasting Tour Pass — works: Pick up a brochure and a Tasting Tour Pass at one of the highlighted stops. Visit at least 10 trail stops and have your tour pass punched at each spot, and you will be eligible to win a basket of sweet treats.

The tasting tour ends for the season Nov. 15. “We hope friends will enjoy touring the Finger Lakes, sampling and tasting the bounty of the area,’’ says Susan Marteney, special projects coordinator for the Cayuga County Office of Tourism. “There is such a wealth of sweet treats — why not try it all?’’

H2FITNESS PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS WITH EXERCISES FOR BODY AND MIND
J
uvar (J.T.) Houston speaks from the heart when he opens up about H2Fitness, a program he started in 2011 and one that is about far more than fitness. An athlete all his life, Houston went to the University of Buffalo on a scholarship but came home abruptly when his younger brother committed suicide. “I made it a point,” he says. “I had to do something to help kids that potentially could be going through the same thing.” Houston came home in 2004 and started working with youths in different organizations, including the local YMCAs and the city school district. He worked as a mentor, hoping the students would take something away from their discussions, even if it wasn’t until years later. “It might be something they remember and latch onto a few years from now,” he says. “I care about (the kids) for different reasons. I had a single parent at home, no father figure. A lot of them are going through the same thing. It’s good for me to talk to them. It helps both of us. I feel like I’m helping someone, and they are eager for someone to talk to.” But that help morphed into something more physical when Houston began developing activities for the kids that combined physical well-being with mental. Those fitness routines changed form again when adults Houston worked with realized his potential as a trainer.
05.28.14 - 06.04.14 | syracusenewtimes.com
“My step into working with adults had begun with kids,” he says. Coworkers started coming to him for training routines, and the casual classes quickly grew. It became obvious that the idea had teeth, and soon Houston was putting together classes that formally became known as H2Fitness. Today, they have several programs, including BootCamp, H2FitClub, H2FitKids and more than take place six days a week at locations in and around Syracuse. “It’s definitely a fun rollercoaster to be on,” Houston says. “It started as a small temporary thing and then grew into what it’s growing into now. We haven’t done any real promotion, but we had a huge event with 450 kids last April. That was amazing in itself. … Training is one side, and the business is another. We’re learning as we go.” Houston is learning along with Alana Hughs, his business partner. The two have known each other since they were 13 but didn’t reconnect until both had gone to
college and come back to Syracuse. “When I came back, I was in the after-school program in the district,” Hughs says. “People at school wanted to lose some weight, but the thing that got me interested was I lost my father to a heart attack. He wasn’t active. I wanted to get healthy, so I asked if JT would help me. I got the results I wanted and got my mom, sisters, brothers to do it, too.” Hughs got more involved on the business end as it grew steadily; today, the pair runs the program together, one they see growing in several directions. “There are endless possibilities,” Houston says. “Never put a cap on it.” They have plans for a fitness DVD, a cook book, a mommy and me-style class, and Hughs wants to start a mentoring group for young girls in which they can talk about fitness, but also keeping a healthy mind, “to build up self-esteem and self-worth,” she explains. “To show young girls how they should be treated. Lots of times, I see girls with their heads down. My goal is to help them see their self-worth and see what they should or shouldn’t accept. Some groups I talk to now, I see them with their shoulders back, heads up, proud of who they are.” She continues, “We have the opportunity to help hundreds … come to a class and try it out.” SNT Follow Jessica Novak on Facebook at www. facebook.com/JessRockNovak, on Twitter at twitter.com/JessRock87 and on Instagram at @JessRock87.

have a dream of being naked as you stand on stage in front of a big audience. Or maybe not completely naked. There’s a strong possibility you will be wearing pink and green striped socks and a gold crown. And it gets worse. In your dream, I bet you will forget what you were going to say to the expectant crowd. Your mouth will be moving but no words will come out. So that’s the bad news, Gemini. The good news is that since I have forewarned you, you can now do whatever is necessary to prevent anything resembling this dream from actually occurring in your waking life. So when you are called on to show what you’ve got and make a splashy impression, you will be well-prepared.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)“Dear Diary: Almost everything that was possible to change has changed these past 12 months. I am not kidding and I am not exaggerating. Getting just one of my certainties destroyed would have been acceptable; I long ago became accustomed to the gradual chip-chip-chipping away of my secure foundations. But this most recent phase, when even my pretty illusions of stability got smashed, truly set a record. So then why am I still standing strong and proud? Why is it I’m not cowering in the corner muttering to the spiders? Have I somehow found some new source of power that was never available to me until my defenses were totally stripped away? I think I’ll go with that theory.”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) About 32,000 years ago, squirrels in northeast Siberia buried the fruits of a flowering plant deep in their burrows, below the level of the permafrost. Then a flood swept through the area. The water froze and permanently sealed the fruits in a layer of ice. They remained preserved there until 2007, when they were excavated. A team of scientists got a hold of them and coaxed them to grow into viable plants. Their success has a metaphorical resemblance to a project you will be capable of pulling off during the next 12 months, Virgo. I’m not sure what exact form it will take. A resuscitation? A resurrection? A recovery? The revival of a dormant dream? The thawing of a frozen asset or the return of a lost resource?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) For German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, the good news was that he was nominated for the Nobel Prize 81 times. The bad news is that he never actually won. Actor Richard Burton had a similar fate. He was nominated for an Academy Award seven times, but never took home an Oscar. If there is anything that even vaguely resembles that pattern in your own life, Libra, the next 12 months will be the most favorable time ever to break the spell. In the next few weeks, you may get a glimpse of how it will unfold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “I should have kissed you longer.” I hope you won’t be replaying that thought over and over again in your imagination three weeks from now. I hope you won’t be obsessing on similar mantras, either, like “I should have treated you better” or “I wish I would have listened to you deeper” or “I should have tried harder to be my best self with you.” Please don’t let any of that happen, Scorpio. I am begging you to act now to make any necessary changes in yourself so that you will be fully ready to give the important people in your life the care they deserve. If you do so, you will be free of regrets later.

into a meditative state and seek insight about your future, I have a reverie about a hearty sapling growing out of a fallen tree that’s rotting on the forest floor. I see exuberant mushrooms sprouting from a cowpie in a pasture. I imagine compost nourishing a watermelon patch. So what do my visions mean? I’m guessing you’re going through a phase of metaphorical death and decay. You are shedding and purging and flushing. In the process, you are preparing some top-notch fertilizer. It won’t be ready for a while, but when it is, a growth spurt will begin.

is that?” Those are questions Louise Gluck asks in her poem “Prism.” Does she really not know? Has she somehow become innocent again, free from all her memories of what longing and desire have meant to her in the past? That’s what I wish for you right now, Sagittarius. Can you do it? Can you enter into beginner’s mind and feel your longing and desire as if they were brand new, just born, as fresh and primal as they were at the moment you fell in love for the first time? If you can manage it, you will bestow upon yourself a big blessing. really benefit from engaging with a compassionate critic -- someone who would gently and lovingly invite you to curb your excesses, heal your ignorance and correct your mistakes. Would you consider going out in search of a kick-ass guide like that? Ideally, this person would also motivate you to build up your strengths and inspire you to take better care of your body. One way or another, Capricorn, curative feedback will be coming your way. The question is, will you have a hand in choosing it, or will you wait around passively for fate to deliver it? I highly recommend the former.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Now would be an excellent time for you to dream up five new ways to have fun. I’m not suggesting there’s anything wrong with your existing methods. It’s just that in the next few weeks, life will conspire to help you drop some of your inhibitions and play around more than usual and experience greater pleasure. The best way to cooperate with that conspiracy is to be an explorer on the frontiers of amusement and enchantment. What’s the most exciting thing you have always wondered about but never done? What interesting experiment have you denied yourself for no good reason? What excursion or adventure would light up your spontaneity?) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Now is an excellent time to transform your relationship with your past. Are you up for a concentrated burst of psychospiritual work? To get the party started, meditate your ass off as you ponder this question: “What fossilized fixations, ancient insults, impossible dreams and parasitic ghosts am I ready to let go of?” Next, move on to this inquiry: “What can I do to ensure that relaxed, amused acceptance will rule my encounters with the old ways forever after?” Here’s a third query: “What will I do with all the energy I free up by releasing the deadweight I had been clinging to?”
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
“When I was young,” wrote French author Albert Camus, “I expected people to give me more than they could: continuous friendship, permanent emotion.” That didn’t work out so well for him. Over and over, he was awash in disappointment. “Now I have learned to expect less of them than they can give,” he concluded. “Their emotions, their friendship, and noble gestures keep their full miraculous value in my eyes; wholly the fruit of grace.” I’d love to see you make an adjustment like this in the coming months, Aries. If you do, the astrological omens suggest you will experience a blessing like Camus’.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some earthquakes happen in slow motion. These rare events occur 22 to 34 miles down, where tectonic plates are hotter and gooier. Unlike the sudden, shocking jolts of typical temblors, this gradual variety can take many days to uncoil and never send dishes flying off shelves up here on the earth’s surface. I suspect your destiny will have a resemblance to this phenomenon in the coming months, Taurus. Your foundations will be rustling and rumbling, but they will do so slowly and gently. The release of energy will ultimately be quite massive. The realignment of deep structures will be epic. But there will be no big disturbances or damages.

“I’m never gonna be the red-hot flashy guitar player, that’s not even what I listen to. I listen to musicians who play music from their TAKE heart. I like soul music where it’s more about what you don’t play than what you play.” — Colin Aberdeen
QUICK
By Jessica Novak
Clear this up for me — you’re Australian, but were you born there? I’m an Australian citizen, raised in England. I moved to Philly when I was 5 in 1970 and grew up in the States with an Australian dad and English mom. We moved to Tenafly, N.J. in 1975, and when I was 15, we moved to Syracuse. Were you playing music then? I dabbled as a kid, but it never really bit me. I was a jock, a soccer player, especially from growing up in England. I played soccer since I was 2 years old, as soon as I could walk. But I had friends at Fayetteville-Manlius (High School) who played guitar. But everyone played and no one sang. I went to my buddy’s barn, and they were really into Neil Young, so we’d sit around playing Neil Young and Grateful Dead tunes, so by default, I sang. I was a junior in high school when I got started. When did you decide that you wanted to play music professionally? I never thought about doing it professionally. It never even occurred to me that I could play a gig. Music journalism changed that. I played an Earth Day event at Thornden Park, and I had been playing house parties around SU. I was still very much a beginner, but Brian Bourke was in the audience, and he wrote a review about me playing. He could have written about the more developed professional musicians, but he chose to write about the kid nobody knew. I got gig offers from that and eventually started playing a steady Tuesday at Taps with Mike Petroff. Doubtlessly one of the most wellknown musicians in the Syracuse scene, singer/songwriter/ guitarist Colin Aberdeen has been and continues to be active with local groups including The Westcott Jugsuckers, The Barking Loungers and Los Blancos.

Who was influencing you musically at that time? There were a few musicians. Willie Kye did finger-pickin’ blues guitar with a tuning of his own. He was a super slick dude who could do anything from rock and roll to old time country blues. He was our local Taj Mahal. Frank Corso, too, was a killer finger picker. With finger-picking guitar, you can play a bass line and melodic line, giving you more variety than strumming. I can play different parts at the same time. I play very simplistically compared to Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb — they show how developed it can get. How did you transition into a full-time musician? I did labor jobs, and I saw an advertisement for Kerner & Merchant, a pipe organ company. They
were nice enough to allow me to work in the shop, and I worked there doing woodwork, building and maintaining pipe organs for 10 years. Eventually, I was gigging enough that I had to make a decision and eventually it comes down to how much energy and time you’ve got. I thought if I’m ever gonna do music for a living, I might as well do it now. And here I am now, 25 years professionally and about 15 full time. You helped Austin John Doody and now twotime Grammy-winner Jose Alvarez get their starts. Tell me about why you take the initiative to really help young players. I love music, love hangin’, with musicians, hearing them, talking with them and if you want good music, you need good musicians. I had people who helped me get to the next rung on the ladder. My folks were charitable and raised me to help out if you can. It seemed like a pretty minor thing to give them a couple tips and help them out. It’s more fun to have more good players and exciting to hear young players in that very accelerated learning time. I got a lot of help from people, too. It’s really fun to see people do well. I don’t take any credit for their hard work or talent, but it’s nice to be in a position to help out. What can the music community do to better the local scene? Try to get out and hear each other is a good one. To take a more cooperative approach to a competitive business. I think we have a pretty good scene here with good players. We lack venues, but we have a small, fervent audience. What we need is a slightly larger audience. Social media has been … I’m amazed how many people read stuff and come out. Before we relied solely on the media and hanging posters. I think musicians can help each other by promoting each others’ shows. Do what you can and support each other. Austin asked me what to do to get in. I said, “Keep knocking on the door until they say yes. Polietly and persistently keep asking. Don’t accept no for an answer.” Anything else for me? Please come out and support live music. There’s so much great music out here. Every town has great players. All they need is a great audience. I know it’s hard sometimes to put your shoes back on and get out of the house, but for musicians, it’s the greatest honor. SNT

So true — Travis Owens
MISSING IN ACTION ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
T
he behavior of Rep. Dan Maffei is not acceptable. Maybe his campaign managers think the wise course is to avoid appearing side-by-side with the challenger, John Katko; that the wise course is to avoid facing follow-up questions if Maffei isn’t responsive; that the wise course for an incumbent is to maintain control the message and the environment. There’s no mystery about what’s going on. Everybody knows that conventional wisdom tells professional politicians that the way to stay in office is to avoid any situation in which they risk putting their foot in it, or in which they might say something — even if they’re just being honest — that strays from the party dogma. Maybe that goal — to stay in office — is shaping his approach. But that isn’t our goal. And if Maffei chooses the path of dodging debates and face-to-face encounters with Kotko the New Times will spend most of the autumn telling its readers why Maffei no longer deserves to be a member of Congress. A short civics lesson: Our government is a republic. Citizens elect people to represent them in Washington. And the duty of those who seek to represent us is not to get themselves re-elected, but to appear before
us as often as possible to share their views and help us decide if they’re worthy of our votes. Instead, Maffei and his campaign limit his access and interactions with Katko and the voters. That’s wrong, and we won’t sit quietly by if he chooses to play this game. Why is this an issue? Because, as you can read on page 14, Maffei was invited to join Katko in a Campbell Conversation with Grant Reeher. Katko agreed; Maffei ducked it. “(Maffei) looks forward to highlighting his focus … in fair debates like the ones he participated in during the 2012 campaign that aired on every broadcast television station in Central New York. … But, he will not be able to accommodate this particular request,” wrote Kane Miller, of Friends of Dan Maffei. Wrong answer. Maffei should have gone head-to-head with Katko,

This guy’s schtick hasn’t changed since his first column for the sub standard. Maybe if he had some real talent he could have made enough money in Cali so his wife wouldn’t have to come back here… — Alex Hamer YOU MADE MY DAY! After 45 years in Los Angeles, I am moving to Oneida and you made me feel so at home... over here. Pray for me, please. We’re going to be seeing snow for Xmas, it won’t be Tahoe. — Miss Renee We loved this video! — Cherished Gravesite I think we all can laugh at this, which I assume is the goal. Actually, I dunno, what is the point of this? — John DeSantis This is terrible. — Paul Colabufo
conventional wisdom be damned, and let the chips fall. If he — and this is true for Katko, too — isn’t up to the demands of a Campbell Conversation, the voters should know that. If he can’t think for himself without relying on pre-packaged positions or limiting the scope of the questions he’s asked, the voters should know that. If he needs to limit debates for any reason — every broadcast television station? Really? Those are the circumstances under which he’ll deign to participate? — the voters should know that. Read the Campbell Conversation. Maffei should have been there to demand that Katko, in explanation of how he would reduce the multi-trillion dollar federal debt, go beyond the inane, empty answer suggesting the solution can be found in reducing waste and fraud. Maffei should have been there to ask Katko if he, in his attempts to reduce spending, would choose, as House Repubicans have, to vilify the poor and bring a meat cleaver to programs that help them while asking the affluent to sacrifice nothing. Maffei should have been there to ask Katko how to preserve the parts of Obamacare he seems to admire — health care for everyone and 26-year-olds on their parents’ policies, presumably the end of pre-existing condition rules — without providing the pool of relatively healthy people (read: mandate) that the insurance companies need to spread their risk. That’s what happens in a debate. Both sides hold the other to account. If the congressman wants to continue to represent us, he needs to step up. If he’s not up to it, the voters should know that.
