NEWS WEIRD By the editors at Andrews McMeel

Jen Sorensen

Fish Story

If you’re still shopping for your 2018 calendar, Metro News recommends you don’t overlook the Carponizer Carp Calendar, which features “12 beautiful carps with attractive women. On high quality paper.” Oh, and the women are naked.

Hendrik Pohler, 28, the calendar’s creator, was struck with the idea when he was fishing with a friend “and at the spot next to us were two hot girls fishing,” he told Maxim, which described the models as having “stiff, pained expressions.”

New World Order

In Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec, near Plattsburgh, N.Y., the Canadian military is building a refugee camp to house asylum-seekers coming from the United States, where recent migrants fear the current administration’s immigration crackdown. Montreal has already turned its Olympic Stadium into a shelter for refugees. The new camp would house 500 people in heated tents while they wait for refugee applications to be processed.

More than 3,300 people crossed into Quebec from the United States between January and June 2017.

The Reich Stuff

An anonymous bidder in the United States has purchased a pair of Adolf Hitler’s boxer-style underwear for about $6,700, according to auctioneer Bill Panagopulos of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City, Md. The drawers, with a size 39 waist and “A.H.” embroidered on them, apparently were left in the Parkhotel Graz in Austria in 1938, Panagopulos told Metro News on Sept. 24. The seller was the grandson of the people who owned the hotel at that time. Panagopulos supposes the buyer will frame the underwear and hang them on a wall in his or her home: “It would be the most talked-about relic in the house.”

The Farce Is Strong

A black-and-white photo depicting the signing of the Charter of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945 has prompted the recall and reprinting of Saudi social studies textbooks because it pictures Saudi King Faisal seated next to the Jedi master Yoda. The photograph was created by 26-year-old Saudi artist Abdullah Al Shehri, who mixes pop culture icons into historic photographs. Shehri told The New York Times in September he inserted Yoda into the photo because he reminded him of the king. “He was wise and was always strong in his speeches,” Shehri said. “I am the one who designed it, but I am not the one who put it in the book,” he clarified. Saudi education minister Ahmed al-Eissa apologized for the mistake, but the mystery of how the photo got into the book remains unsolved.

The Truth Is Out There

Bryant Johnson of Casper, Wyo., was on a mission on Oct. 2 when police responded to a call about a man warning citizens of an alien invasion coming next year.

KTWO Radio in Casper reported that Johnson told police he had traveled back in

send up in smoke. Locals dropped their notes in a “gloom box” at a shopping center, with subjects ranging from an ill family member to hurricane victims to government corruption. The tradition began in 1924 and was named for the Spanish word for upset or worry.

Bright Idea

time from 2048, explaining that the aliens filled his body with alcohol and had him stand on a giant pad that transported him back to 2017 — although he was supposed to arrive in 2018. He also asked to speak with the “president of the town.” Instead, Bryant was arrested for public intoxication.

Wild Kingdom

The owners of a mischievous ass in Vogelsberg, Hesse, Germany, have been ordered to pay for damages after Vitus the donkey apparently mistook an orange McLaren Spider sports car for a carrot. When Markus Zahn left his $411,000 car parked next to a paddock on Sept. 16, 2016, he returned to find that Vitus had nibbled on its paint to the tune of almost $7,000 in damage. “The donkey had insurance, but the insurance didn’t want to pay,” Zahn told the BBC. Vitus’ rap sheet also includes biting a Mercedes.

Here’s the Beef

The Russian division of Burger King asked the country’s Federal Anti-Monopoly Service to ban Stephen King’s horror movie It from showing in Russian theaters because the clown character, Pennywise, looks too much like Ronald McDonald, and therefore the movie is advertising for McDonald’s. However, the Hollywood

Reporter noted, the movie opened in Russia on Sept. 7 and had already grossed millions of dollars by late September. A spokeswoman for the FAS, confirming that the complaint had been received, said, “We can’t be concerned with the content of the film,” but the agency would determine whether it contained advertising or product placement.

Ewwwww!

The newest inhabitant of your nightmares is a giant “fatberg” in the sewer system beneath the streets of London.

A fatberg is created by a buildup of fat and grease combined with used diapers, sanitary napkins and wipes. This one is almost the length of three football fields and weighs more than 140 tons. Matt Rimmer with London’s Thames Water said the current glob is “a total monster and is taking a lot of manpower and machinery to remove, as it’s set hard.” He said it’s basically like trying to break up concrete.

Why Not?

In Santa Fe, N.M., tens of thousands of people gathered at a city park on the evening of Sept. 1 to revel in the burning of the effigy Zozobra, a six-story monkey puppet filled with handwritten notes about anxieties and problems they hoped to

United States Border Patrol agent Robert Rocheleau and Alburgh, Vt., resident Mark Johnson, 53, exchanged tense words on Aug. 3 when Johnson climbed down from his tractor and demanded to know why Rocheleau wasn’t doing more to apprehend illegal immigrants. Johnson said people working in the United States illegally were damaging his livelihood.

(Alburgh is just south of the border with Canada.) After the exchange, Johnson got back in his tractor and, as Rocheleau reported, “While passing by my vehicle Mr. Johnson engaged the PTO shaft to his trailer and covered my vehicle in cow manure.” Johnson pleaded not guilty in Vermont Superior Court in North Hero, saying he didn’t know the car was nearby when he turned on his manure spreader.

The Bum’s Rush

Anthony Wayne Sandusky, 26, of Mascotte, Fla., was welcomed into the home of a Groveland woman on Aug. 22 because he had nowhere else to go. She went to sleep, and when she woke up, her mother said Sandusky had closed all the blinds, locked the doors and was carrying their possessions out the back door. She found two bags of items in a nearby field, including a stamp collection valued at $250,000. When confronted by police, Sandusky said he took the items because the woman was “being mean to him.”

Name Games

The state administration for industry and commerce in China has had to put

its foot down about long, ridiculous names for companies. New guidelines prohibit long-winded names, such as There Is a Group of Young People With Dreams, Who Believe They Can Make the Wonders of Life Under the Leadership of Uncle Niu Internet Technology Co. Ltd. This northern China company, which makes condoms, will now be known as just Uncle Niu. The new restrictions also prohibit words that are overtly religious or political or company names that claim to be the “best.” We can only guess what Beijing Under My Wife’s Thumb Technology Co. Ltd. will use as its new, shorter name.

wrote the chanting software. Michio Inamura, Nissei’s executive adviser, said the robot could step in when priests are not available.

Also at the Life Ending Industry Expo, four undertakers competed on stage as funeral music played to see who could best display the ancient skills of ritually dressing the dead. The Shinto religion in Japan believes that the dead are impure just after death and that dressing the body purifies the spirit. The contestants dressed live human volunteers and were observed by three judges. Rino Terai, who won the contest, said, “I practiced every day to prepare for this competition.”

Cultural Diversity

Inexplicable

The Japanese funeral industry demonstrated its forward thinking on Aug. 23 when practitioners gathered for the Life Ending Industry Expo in Tokyo. Among the displays was a humanoid robot named Pepper who can conduct a Buddhist funeral, complete with chanting and tapping a drum. Pepper is a collaboration between SoftBank and Nissei Eco Co., which

An Arkansas Highway Patrol officer spotted “an unusual sight” on Aug. 23 on I-30: a black Hummer with a casket strapped to the top of it. When the officer pulled over Kevin M. Cholousky, 39, of Van Buren, Ark., he took off and led police on a chase along I-530, where his vehicle was eventually stopped by road spikes. Although the casket was empty,

Cholousky was charged in Pulaski County with fictitious tags, reckless driving and fleeing.

Price of Vanity

Neven Ciganovic, 45, of Croatia was undergoing the latest in a series of plastic surgeries (this one a rhinoplasty) in Iran when he “reacted badly” to the general anesthesia and developed a painful, long-lasting erection, known as priapism.

As he recovered in a Serbian hospital, Ciganovic was denied painkillers and was only relieved of the condition after another surgery, although he says it will be months before he is fully recovered.

The tattoo-covered Ciganovic is hoping his latest nose operation will improve his looks enough to launch him to international stardom.

Eclipsing Weird

A California man with European heritage “strong and pure” placed an ad on Craigslist in advance of the solar eclipse on Aug. 21, seeking a “worthy female” to

have sex with him in Oregon and “conceive a child that will be on the next level of human evolution.” “Everything will be aligned in the local universe. Both of our cosmic orgasmic energy will be aligned with the planets,” the ad posited. He had only one specific caveat: “You must like cats.” The ad has since been deleted.

Latest Religious Messages

Sonogram photos are notoriously difficult to decipher, but one couple in Franklin County, Pa., are sure theirs shows a man watching over their unborn daughter.

“When they gave it to us ... Umm, to me, it’s Jesus. And it looks like Jesus,” said mom Alicia Zeek. She and father Zac Smith have two older children, both born with birth defects, and the image is putting them at ease about their third child.

“Once we looked at the picture, I was like, look, babe, we have nothing to worry about,” Smith said.

THINGS THAT MATTER

By Luke Parsnow

MORE RETRIALS FOR CORRUPT POLS ON 2018’S DOCKET

Former state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos: His retrial is slated for June 18.

Michael Davis photo

A

nother new year means a new legislative session in the state capitol in Albany, a new fight over the state budget and a new legislative agenda proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

In the coming days, the governor will detail his plans for gun ownership in regards to domestic violence, outlawing revenge porn and overhauling the state’s antiquated voting laws, among other new things.

The only thing not new that he will most likely address is ethics reform measures to combat out-of-control state corruption.

Sure, Cuomo will probably say something like, “We must take action to show the people of this state that we get it, and that when someone does something wrong, they are punished to the full extent of the law.” Which is what he said last year.

But like every other year, Cuomo’s seemingly bold crusade to combat chronic corruption in state government always seems to fade as the legislative session moves along.

However, this year needs to be different.

It will be extremely difficult, and really unacceptable, for both the governor and members of the state Legislature to ignore ethics reform in 2018 when the ghosts of corruption past will be constantly haunting them.

While legislative battles will be taking place in Albany between January and June, a slew of public corruption trials involving Cuomo’s former aides and legislators’ former colleagues will be happening at the same time in Manhattan.

Joseph Percoco, a longtime confidant to Cuomo, will go to trial Jan. 8 to answer charges that he took $287,000 in bribes from a Maryland-based company and $35,000 from a Syracuse-area developer in return for using his influence in the Cuomo administration to do favors for them. Percoco’s close ties to the Cuomo family (former Gov. Mario Cuomo called him his “right-hand man”) will make the governor a constant presence in the case.

There’s even the possibility that Cuomo

6

1.3.1 8 - 1.9.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

may have to testify, although that seems unlikely.

On April 16, jury selection will begin in the retrial of former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. He was convicted in December 2015 of funneling some $500,000 in state grants to a Columbia University doctor who, in return, sent his patients to Silver’s law firm, which then paid Silver for the referrals.

Silver also voted for state tax breaks for a real estate company, which then steered business to a law firm, from which he also received referral fees. Silver ended up pocketing $4 million in illegal kickbacks.

Silver’s charges were overturned last July; his appeal cited a U.S. Supreme Court decision that essentially narrows the definition of what corruption entails.

This new trial is likely to run through the end of May. On June 11, the second part of the Joe Percoco saga begins when former SUNY Polytechnic Institute President Alain Kaloyeros’ trial will commence. Kaloyeros was arrested with Percoco in 2016 and is accused of rigging construction bids for favored developers in connection to the Buffalo Billion, Cuomo’s much-touted economic development project in the Western New York city. Kaloyeros has pleaded not guilty.

Finally, on June 18, just as the legislative session will be wrapping up, the retrial of former state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam will begin. Like Silver, Skelos was convicted in December 2015 of using his power

to help a company that gave his son a $78,000-a-year job to which he sometimes would not show up. When asked to actually come to work, Adam Skelos told his boss, “Talk to me like that again and I’m going to smash your fucking head in.” Also like Silver, Skelos’ conviction was overturned at the end of September, using the same Supreme Court case.

It’s going to be a busy six months and neither Cuomo nor the Legislature can escape the daily updates or the seismic verdicts that are likely to come out of these trials. “Ethics reform, for example, I don’t see that happening with this Legislature,” which is what Cuomo told reporters back in April, is not going to fly, not when his own aides are involved.

Saying that New Yorkers see ethics reform as “way at the bottom of the priority list,” which Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan said just three months after Silver and Skelos were both convicted, is just not going to be a valid argument this time around.

It’s also an election year. All 213 members of the state Assembly and Senate are up for re-election in November, and Cuomo will be seeking a third term as well. It would not be good optics, to say the least, for them to plug their ears and sing “la la la” while these trials are ongoing on their watch.

Whether or not ethics reform can get done in 2018 will call into question the public’s faith in the institutions that make up the New York government. If our representatives can’t fix what’s clearly broken right in front of their faces, how can we expect them to fix anything else?

MUSIC

By Jessica Novak

MILKWEED’S AMERICANA SOUND COMES TO TOWN

S

ince its first show on Dec. 15, 2011, the band Milkweed has experienced several incarnations. Beginning as a duo with Jacqualine Colombo and Claire Byrne (of Driftwood), the current trio features Colombo, primary songwriter Joseph Alston and Peter Lister.

They’ll bring their Americana music to May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society, 3800 E. Genesee St., for a Folkus Project show on Friday, Jan. 5, 8 p.m.

Admission is $15. Visit folkus.org or milkweedtheband.com for information.

Milkweed’s sound features rich threepart harmonies and mixes storytelling lyrics with blues harmonica and bluegrass guitar. The Binghamton-based group has found success touring the East Coast, although the love of music settled into Colombo years before she ever thought about touring.

“I grew up with music,” she recalls.

“In my family, there was lots of singing, dancing, music.”

She started working at Cyber Café West in Binghamton 13 years ago, where cafe owner Jeff Kahn played weekly with his band Monkeys Typing. Kahn began bringing Colombo up to the stage more often.

“I realized then that I wanted to do this,” she says. “I started working a lot vocally and sitting in with other bands.”

In 2011 Colombo started the Milkweed duo with violinist, guitarist, singer and songwriter Byrne. Later, they brought Bess Greenberg into the mix.

“She (Greenberg) expressed interest in learning upright bass,” Colombo says.

“We said, ‘If you can do that, we’d love to have you in the band.’ In about a month, she learned all the songs, and Milkweed became a trio.”

By the end of 2012, the group invited Alston to join the act. Alston and Colombo, who have now been in a relationship for 11 years, decided to try being in a band together.

1.3.1 8 - 1.9.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

Milkweed performs Friday, Jan. 5, at May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society.

“We thought it could be fun to travel all the time and record,” she says. “Surprisingly, it’s worked really well. He was touring for years before I decided I wanted it to be my career. When we made the decision to do it together and I quit my day job, he was nervous about how I’d be on the road. I think I really surprised him. I can be a road warrior out there. For us, it works great and it’s really nice to have a partner I get to see all the time and collaborate with.”

By 2015, Byrne was too busy with Driftwood and Greenberg had her own musical project. With a major tour planned for that summer, Milkweed needed to find another upright bass player.

Alston had met Lister on a tour years earlier and kept him in mind, even though Lister lives in New Jersey. “I thought, ‘He lives in Jersey! Why would he want to come on tour with us?’”

Colombo says.

Yet despite her skepticism, Lister was immediately interested.

“Joe just randomly wrote him and he got the music down quick

and jumped in the van,” she says. “I think he loved it and we loved him and he’s stuck with us ever since.” Their first show with Lister was on Aug. 10, 2015.

The group continues touring and just finished an EP released on New Year’s Eve at Ithaca’s The Haunt. Although the trio is all acoustic, they took the same songs and added a six-piece electric band featuring drums, electric guitar and keyboards behind them.

Milkweed has toured from Maine to Georgia and keeps up a regular regional schedule as well. “It’s been a lot of miles on the van,” Colombo says. “We have a 12-passenger van named Fred.”

Although the group has found success, “It’s not as easy as it looks,” Colombo admits. “For people that want to do this for a living, it looks like a very glamorous lifestyle. But it can be pretty hard on the road. I would advise someone to be prepared to be broke for a while. You can lose faith quickly. Stick with it and keep working really hard.” SNT

WINTER TIMES MAC AND CHEESE: A WINTERTIME DISH DELIGHT

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que’s macaroni and cheese specialty.

H

By Margaret McCormick

ealthy is not the goal of comfort food.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese: These good old American dishes warm the belly and bring comfort like no other. Calories be damned.

Macaroni and cheese is a natural goto on cold days in Central New York because we already tend to have the basic ingredients in the fridge and pantry, including butter, milk and flour for the roux, plus cheese(s) and pasta. In the words of the old Kraft Macaroni and Cheese TV commercials: It’s nice and cheesy and it’s really pretty easy. But homemade is definitely better than from a box.

There are as many kinds of mac and cheese as there are people and pasta shapes. Some like it creamy. Some like it baked, with a crusty breadcrumb topping to cut through. Some like it saucy. Others like it dry.

Some go so far as to mix in mascarpone cheese or ricotta cheese to make it more “velvety.’’ Some add vegetables, like cauliflower and broccoli, and some make vegan “mac and cheese” using vegetable purees, tofu and/or dairy substitutes.

Some make it with whole grain pasta or substitute ancient grains for pasta.

The first menu at Armory Square’s The Stoop Kitchen, 311 W. Fayette St., which opened in October, featured freekeh “macaroni and cheese,” made with local grains and local cheddar and topped with crisp breadcrumbs. The dish is not on the current menu.

Some add heat, in the form of jalapenos or other hot peppers, and some add meat. The Evergreen, 125 E. Water St., a destination for craft beer and pub food in Hanover Square, gets a thumbs up for its mac and cheese with three cheeses and smoked bacon. The menus at both the Empire Brewing Company Brewpub, 120 Walton St., and Empire Farm Brewery in Cazenovia feature a six-cheese mac and cheese with smoked bacon. Aster Pantry & Parlor, 116 Walton St., Armory Square, offers macaroni and cheese with bologna, smoked bleu cheese and biscuit crumbles

as a starter on its (seasonal) dinner menu.

Half Moon Bakery and Bistro, 6500 E. Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville, sometimes offers mac and cheese with pulled pork as a lunch special.

Marlene Parlow, owner of Center Street Market, 106 Center St., Canastota, gives her mac and cheese local flavor with smoked Gouda cheese and chunks of smoked ham from Creekside Meadows Farm in New Woodstock. She also adds roasted red peppers. It’s usually offered once a week as a special.

Mary Celletti, co-owner with her husband, Jim, of the Golden Spike Pub, 411 W. Manlius St., East Syracuse, takes the approach of the more cheeses, the merrier, with the restaurant’s mac and cheese, which is available only on Fridays.

Her recipe calls for five cheeses: Yancey’s Fancy XXX-sharp cheddar and regular cheddar, American cheese, provolone and a generous dose of good Parmesan, which is added at the end. She prefers whole milk and butter for a creamy sauce base and intentionally undercooks the macaroni elbows, which “puff up” as they bake in the oven. The Spike’s mac and cheese is available as a side dish or a main course (small, medium or large serving), served with a dinner roll.

In Homer, Dasher’s Corner Pub, 2 N. Main St., offers mac and cheese three ways as a main course for lunch and dinner: four-cheese mac and cheese, truffle mac and cheese and lobster mac and cheese. All are popular enough to warrant year-round status on the menu, says restaurant owner George Seibel, with the meaty and gooey lobster version being the top seller.

The four-cheese mac and cheese features cheddar, Swiss, bleu cheese and Parmesan. The latter two cheeses give the dish “a bit more bite on the back of the tongue,’’ he says.

Seibel and his team also break from

tradition by using campanelle, a twisted pasta shape, in the mac and cheese trio offered at Dasher’s. Seibel prefers campanelle over elbow macaroni because it “blooms’’ as it cooks, allowing the ruffled edges and hollow centers of the pasta to hold more sauce and cheese.

(Also in Homer, check out the Big Mac and Cheese Burger — yes, a burger topped with mac and cheese — at Hobo’s 281 Bar and Grill, 10 S. West St. The restaurant is operated by the owners of Hairy Tony’s, an upscale tavern in Cortland. The building is owned by Seibel, who gave us this tip.)

An informal survey of Facebook friends turned up about 10 recommendations for mac and cheese at locally owned restaurants in the Central New York area, including: Ruston’s Diner, 6293 North St., Jamesville (Fridays only); Today’s Special Cafe, 109 S. Warren St. (Fridays only); The Cider Mill, 4221 Fay Road; Darwin on Clinton, 110 W. Fayette St.; The Fish Friar, 239 E. Genesee St.; Dark Horse Tavern, 4312 E. Genesee St., DeWitt; and The Sweet Basil, 3 Clinton St., Tully.

Several people also gave a shout-out to the macaroni and cheese served as a side dish at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, 246 W. Willow St., and to the restaurant’s “Old School Mac and Cheese,” with mushrooms, broccoli and shell-shaped pasta, served each Friday. As a side, the yellow-orange mac and cheese is a fan favorite. Small batches of it are made daily throughout the lunch and dinner service, according to chef Leland Avellino, and it’s not uncommon for the restaurant to go through 40 to 50 gallons of mac and cheese on a typical night.

The complete list of ingredients is, understandably, somewhat of a closely guarded secret, but chef Avellino hints at them. For home cooks looking to replicate the Dinosaur’s mac and cheese,

Avellino suggests using elbow macaroni or campanelle pasta, cooked to just under al dente, and making a basic whitecheese sauce with a blend of cheeses. He recommends a blend of 50 percent sharp cheddar, 25 percent American, 10 percent smoked Gouda and 15 percent Gruyere.

Experiment to suit your own taste.

“In the restaurant we use a different blend,’’ he notes, “but it is fun to be creative with your cheese selection.’’

At home, do as the Dinosaur’s chefs do each day: Make your cheese sauce, keep it warm and toss it with cooked pasta.

Add to a buttered casserole, top with additional shredded cheddar and grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a sprinkle of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Cajun Foreplay seasoning. Bake in a 350-degree oven until golden brown and bubbling. If more browning is desired, place under a hot broiler until brown and bubbling.

SNOWMOBILE CLUBS MAKE FOR SAFER RIDING ON THE TR AILS

S

By Mike Jaquays

nowmobiling is all about sharing a friendship with fellow riders having similar outdoorsy interests, seeing nature’s snowy beauty, and feeling the freedom of leaving behind the rigors of daily life.

For the maximum enjoyment of riding the trails, membership in a local snowmobile club delivers both an organized gathering of fellow riders and money-saving benefits. Plus club members are out there grooming and clearing the trails to make them safer for all riders.

“It’s really advantageous to join a club,” said Tim Taylor, New York State Snowmobile Association district director for Onondaga County and vice president

1.3.18 - 1.9.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

of the Onondaga County Snowmobile Association, as well as past president of the Toad Hollow Trailriders from Syracuse.

Taylor said beyond simply being with people of like interests, the benefits of joining a club include a reduction in the snowmobile registration fee from $100 to $45. Club memberships across the state run about $30 a year.

Registration fees are then used to create a Snowmobile Trail Fund that delivers a stipend to each snowmobile club maintaining the trails. No taxpayer dollars are used to finance the maintenance, Taylor noted. Every club has a trail groomer, he added; the Toad Hollow group alone will spend hundreds of hours maintaining their own 19 miles of trails.

Clubs have regular meetings and often host special events for both members and sometimes non-members.

“There is definitely a lot of camaraderie,” Taylor said. “You can get a lot of great advice on where to go and how to ride by talking to fellow club members.”

Bill Howland is the president of the Snow Owls Snowmobile Club based in Clay. He said the most important part of creating a trail is meeting with the land owners to seek their permission.

“We meet with property owners to find out exactly where they will allow a trail and clearly mark it with signs and delineation,” Howland said. “We place ‘No Snowmobiling’ signs and ‘Stay on

the Trail or Stay Home’ signs to keep riders from straying, and speed limit and ‘Quiet’ signs if the trail is close to houses.

We will even place fences along the sides of the trail if requested. If the property owner is a snowmobiler, we give them a free membership to our club every year.”

Howland said they generally have good relationships with the property owners, and at Christmas show their appreciation to some owners by giving out gift cards. There are more than 100 property owners along their 22 miles of maintained trails, so they can only do a few each year. Many property owners also like having the trails for hunting and hiking in the off-snowmobile season, Howland explained.

The main stumbling block to granting permission has often been the question of liability on the trail. Yet Howland said that is not an issue for the property owner.

“The New York State Snowmobile Association maintains general liability insurance with a private carrier which covers all property owners on the 10,000plus miles of trails throughout the state,” he said, adding that the association is not a state governmental entity.

Dennis Sullivan, a trail boss with the Morrisville-based Moonlight Riders Snowmobile Club, counts the savings of his yearly registration — especially with more then one sled to register — as his biggest benefit. He also enjoys meeting with other club members with the same interests, riding with them, and sometimes learning new trails.

“There’s nothing better then a Sunday-afternoon ride with family and stopping along the trail to take in the scenery and make memories,” he said.

His son Matt Sullivan says he likes the nice savings on his registration, but also getting to know others with the same interest and volunteering to work on the snowmobile trails himself. During the year he takes part in various events to raise money to work the trails and help maintain trails and bridges.

Fellow club member Connor Ogrydziak of Morrisvillle agreed he likes the savings on registration, and the way the club members improve the trail so both members and non-members alike can benefit.

Blossvale’s Amanda Vergalito credits her husband, Cole, for getting her into the sport. When their daily work schedules don’t offer a lot of free time, one of their favorite date night events is riding their sleds out to dinner somewhere, and they can go just about anywhere in the winter when the snow comes. They are both members of the West Rome Riders.

WINTER TIMES Safety is very much on her mind, as Vergalito lost a friend in a snowmobile accident last winter. She said the snowmobile club volunteers are out there clearing away fallen trees and other obstructions, fixing any other trouble spots along the trails they maintain.

“There is a lot of prep work that needs to be done before the trails are safe to ride,” she explained. “Accidents can happen in the wink of an eye, and it doesn’t have to be your own fault.

“I thank all of the snowmobile clubs for their dedication. They are out there keeping the trails nice. It’s the snowmobile clubs who are making our trails safe.”

The New York State Snowmobile Association offers a list of the hundreds of clubs organized by each county on their website, as well as other information for the snowmobile enthusiast. For more information, visit nysnowmobiler.com. SNT

FLAKE EFFECT IS CRUCIAL TO AREA SKI SE ASON

o make a small fortune in the ski business, the old saw goes, start with a big one. At the mercy of the economy and especially the vagaries of an uncooperative climate, ski centers everywhere face ever-rising challenges to produce conditions that will attract ticket buyers.

The 2016-2017 season saw big snowfalls at the beginning and the end of the season and little in the middle. In contrast, Four Seasons, Toggenburg, Song Mountain, Labrador and Greek Peak have had enough favorable weather so far this year to make enough snow to open in time for the Christmas-New Year’s holidays, a time slot accounting for about 30 percent of their annual budgets.

That comes with its own price, however: Snowmaking guns cost $25,000 to $35,000 to purchase and, depending on the number, hundreds of dollars an hour to operate. And as the season progresses, their usefulness declines due to the waning numbers of daily ticket buyers. Nonetheless, the 2017-2018 season is off to a good start and, for the time being anyway, there is hope, as well as snow, in the air.

1.3.18 - 1.9.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

Toggenburg (520-foot vertical drop, 21 trails, five lifts, two terrain parks), located on Route 80 in Fabius, offers season-pass holders a range of discounts at the venue as well as the larger Greek Peak resort in Virgil, near Cortland (952-foot vertical drop, 55 trails, eight lifts, three terrain parks), including free access to the Nordic ski trail system.

Season passes at Toggenburg start at $500, with the option of a Greek Peak upgrade, a pass good at either facility, at an additional $399. Season passes at Greek Peak are $775, with a $90 Toggenburg upgrade. Both areas also offer discounts for students, military personnel, and seniors, and other pass options. Complete information on these deals is available at skitog.com or greekpeak.net.

Also conjoined for the past three years, Song Mountain, off Route 81, Exit 14, in Tully, and Labrador Mountain, Route 91 in Truxton, will again offer an “Intermountain Passport,” a season pass (or daily lift ticket) good at either site. Song is also in the process of installing a chairlift for its black diamond slopes, purchased in Minnesota and trucked to Tully.

Season passes at Song (700-foot vertical drop, 24 trails, five lifts, no terrain park) begin at $475, as they are at Labrador (700-foot vertical drop, 22 trails, six lifts, no terrain park), and offer discounts for students, seniors and military personnel.

The “Intermountain Passport” is also good for two complimentary lift tickets at Okemo Mountain, the much larger resort in Ludlow, Vt. (2,200-foot vertical drop, 121 trails, 20 lifts, eight terrain parks). Visit songmountain.com, labradormtn.com, skiny.com or okemo.com for information.

parks), compensates for its dimensions with a whopping average snowfall of 230-plus inches, and is now open. Season passes start at $430 (snowridge.com).

Watertown’s Dry Hill Ski Area at 18160 Alpine Ridge Road (300-foot vertical drop, three lifts, seven trails) has been “right off the end of Lake Ontario since 1960.” With more than 4 feet of new snow since Dec. 10, Dry Hill offers skiing, snowboarding and tubing. Season passes start at $295 (skidryhill.com).

Smaller yet but much closer is Four Seasons on Route 5 in Fayetteville, which, according to owner John Goodfellow, is “a great place to learn to ski and have some fun.” Four Seasons offers a vertical drop of 100 feet, enhanced snowmaking capabilities, a chairlift and a conveyor (a.k.a. “magic carpet”), rails for snowboard tricksters, snow tubing and six trails.

With a snowmaking-produced base of 4 to 5 feet, Four Seasons is open now.

Season passes start at $165 and day passes are available for as little as $18. Visit fourseasonsgolfandski.com.

Nordic skiers, or cross country skiers, are much more at the mercy of Mother Nature since there are no snow guns in

the outback. Local opportunities abound, however, when conditions permit.

Onondaga County Parks, including Beaver Lake Nature Center in Baldwinsville, Oneida Shores on Oneida Lake, and Highland Forest in Fabius, offer good choices. Highland Forest, especially, is a premium winter destination, featuring 40 miles of trails, 20 of them groomed, as well as three loops for skating skiers. Admission and/or trail fees apply at most of these areas (onondagacountyparks.com).

Another cross country option is Green Lakes State Park, off Route 5, Fayetteville (nysparks.com). Greek Peak operates its own Nordic center with 15 miles of trails for skiers, snowshoers and fat bikes, some of them groomed. Trail fees range from $5 on weekdays to $16.50 weekends (greekpeak.net).

The Osceola Tug Hill Ski Center in Camden has 40K of groomed trails reserved exclusively for skiers with 300 inches of snow each year. Trail fees start at $15 (xcski.com; (315) 599-7377).

And Breia, a privately owned ski and snowshoe area near Boonville, has 50K of backwoods trails, free and open to the public (breia.com). SNT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In 2018, your past

the wind. Soon, exploratory missions ventured into the open sea and down along the coast of West Africa. Eventually, this new technology enabled long westward trips across the Atlantic. I propose that we make the caravel your symbol of power for 2018, Libra. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will find or create a resource that enables you to do the metaphorical equivalent of effectively sailing into the wind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In 2018, people will be drawn to you even more than usual.

Some will want you to be their rock -- their steady, stable source of practical truth. Some will ask you to be their tonic -- their regular, restorative dose of no-nonsense. And others will find in you a creative catalyst that helps them get out of their ruts and into their grooves. And what will you receive in return for providing such a stellar service? First, there will be many opportunities to deepen and refine your integrity. To wield that much influence means you’ll have to consistently act with high-minded motivations. And secondly, Taurus, you’ll get a steady supply of appreciation that will prove to be useful as well as gratifying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The Aztecs were originally wanderers. They kept moving from place to place, settling temporarily in areas throughout the land we now call Mexico. An old prophecy told them that they would eventually find a permanent home at a site where they saw an eagle roosting on a cactus as it clutched a snake in its talons. There came a day in the 14th century when members of the tribe spied this very scene on an island in the middle of a lake. That’s where they began to build the city that in time was the center of their empire.

I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, so it can serve as a metaphor to guide you in 2018. I suspect that you, too, will discover your future power spot: the heart of your domain for years to come.

will undergo transformation. Your memories will revise and rearrange themselves. Bygone events that seemed complete and definitive will shimmy and shift, requiring new interpretations. The stories you have always told about how you became who you are will have to be edited, perhaps even rewritten. While these overhauls may sometimes be disconcerting, they will ultimately be liberating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Influences that oppose you will fade as 2018 unfolds. People who have been resistant and uncooperative will at least partially disengage. To expedite the diminishing effects of these influences and people, avoid struggling with them. Loosen the grip they have on your imagination. Any time they leak into your field of awareness, turn your attention instead to an influence or person that helps and supports you. Here’s another idea about how to collaborate with the cosmic rhythms to reduce the conflict in your life: Eliminate any unconscious need you might have for the perversely invigorating energy provided by adversaries and bugaboos. Find positive new ways to motivate yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) I predict that in

2018 you will figure out how to get your obsessions to consistently work for your greatest good. You will come to understand what you must do to ensure they never drag you down into manic self-sabotage. The resolute ingenuity you summon to accomplish this heroic feat will change you forever. You will be reborn into a more vibrant version of your life. Passions that in the past have drained and confused you will become efficient sources of fuel for your worthiest dreams.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Just because you

have become accustomed to a certain trouble doesn’t mean you should stop searching for relief from that trouble. Just because a certain pain no longer knocks you into a demoralized daze for days at a time doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Now here’s the good news: In 2018, you can finally track down the practical magic necessary to accomplish a thorough healing of that trouble and pain. Make this the year you find a more ultimate cure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Have you ever nursed a yearning to speak Swahili or Chinese or Russian? The coming months will be an excellent time to get that project underway.

Do you fantasize about trying exotic cuisines and finding new favorite foods? I invite you to act on that fantasy in 2018. Is there a form of manual labor that would be tonic for your mental and physical health? Life is giving you a go-ahead to do more of it. Is there a handicraft or ball game you’d like to become more skilled at? Get started. Is there a new trick you’d like to learn to do with your mouth or hands? Now’s the time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Before the 15th

century, European nations confined their sailing to the Mediterranean Sea. The ocean was too rough for their fragile, unadaptable ships.

But around 1450, the Portuguese developed a new kind of vessel: the caravel. It employed a triangular sail that enabled it to travel against

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Not every minute of every day, but when you have had the time, you’ve been searching for a certain treasure. With patience and persistence, you have narrowed down its whereabouts by collecting clues and following your intuition.

Now, at last, you know its exact location. As you arrive, ready to claim it, you tremble with anticipation. But when you peel away the secrets in which it has been wrapped, you see that it’s not exactly what you expected. Your first response is disappointment. Nevertheless, you decide to abide in the presence of the confusing blessing and see what happens. Slowly, incrementally, you become aware of a new possibility: that you’re not quite ready to understand and use the treasure; that you’ll have to grow new capacities before you’ll be ready for it in its fullness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Soulful beauty will be a major theme for you in 2018. Or at least it should be. But I suppose it’s possible you’re not very interested in soulful beauty, perhaps even bored by it. Maybe you prefer skin-deep beauty or expensive beauty or glamorous beauty. If you choose to follow predilections like those, you’ll lose out on tremendous opportunities to grow wilder and wiser. But let’s hope you make yourself available for a deeper, more provocative kind of beauty that you could become more skilled at detecting as the year unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “Let your freak

flag fly” was an expression that arose from the hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s. It was a colorful way to say, “Be your most unique and eccentric self; show off your idiosyncrasies with uninhibited pride.” I propose that we revive it for your use in 2018. I suspect the coming months will be a favorable time for you to cultivate your quirks and trust your unusual impulses. You should give yourself maximum freedom to explore pioneering ideas and maverick inclinations. Paradoxically, doing so will lead to stabilizing and enduring improvements in your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In accordance

with the astrological omens, I suggest you start compiling a list entitled, “People, Places, Ideas and Things I Didn’t Realize Until Now That I Could Fall in Love With.” And then keep adding more and more items to this tally during the next 10 months. To get the project underway in the proper spirit, you should wander freely and explore jauntily, giving yourself permission to instigate interesting mischief and brush up against deluxe temptations. For best results, open your heart and your eyes as wide as you can. One further clue: Act on the assumption that in 2018 you will be receptive to inspirational influences and life-transforming teachings that you have never before been aware of.
