NEWS WEIRD

By Chuck Shepherd

Away in a Manger

including “visas” that theoretically permitted entry into the United States. The U.S. State Department finally persuaded Ghanaian officials to close it down, but it is unknown if any purchasers were ever caught trying to immigrate. The “embassy,” with a U.S. flag outside, had well-spoken “consular officers” who reportedly collected about $6,000 per visa.

One of the planet’s most bizarre local customs concerns the Christmas tradition in Spain’s Catalonia region of decorating Nativity scenes with figurines of traditional Catalonians and famous people, each squatting to answer nature’s calls.

The update this year, of course, is the availability of squatting Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, joining past presidents (including the all-time best-seller, President Obama), Queen Elizabeth and Pope Francis.

Sex Toys in the News

The government in Saxony, Germany, chose as third-place winner of its 2016 prize for innovation and start-up companies the inventor of the ingenious silent vibrator, leading to the shaming of the economy minister Martin Dulig, now known as “Dildo Dulig.”

An unknown armed robber made off with cash at the Lotions and Lace adult store in San Bernardino, Calif., in December, although employees pelted the man with dildos from the shelves as he ran out the door.

Oh-So-Sweet Dreams

The Hastens workshop in Koping, Sweden, liberally using the phrase “master artisans” recently, unveiled its made-to-order $149,900 mattress. Bloomberg News reported in December on Hastens’ use of superior construction materials such as pure steel springs, “slow-growing” pine, multiple layers of flax, horsehair lining — braided by hand, then unwound to ensure extra spring — and cotton covered by flame-retardant wool batting. With a 25-year guarantee, an eight-hour-a-day sleep habit works out to $2 an hour. The Bloomberg reviewer, after a trial run, gave the “Vividus” a glowing thumbs-up.

Booty Calls

Humans are good at recognizing faces, but exceptionally poor at recognition when the same face’s features are scrambled or upside down. In December, a research team from the Netherlands and Japan published findings that chimpanzees are the same way — when it comes to recognizing other chimps’ butts. That suggests, the scientists concluded, that sophisticated recognition of rear ends is as important for chimps as “socio-sexual signaling,” such as for prevention of inbreeding, as faces are to humans.

Suspicions Confirmed

Humanity has accumulated an estimated 30 trillion tons of “stuff,” according to research by University of Leicester geologists — enough to fit more than 100 pounds’ worth over every square meter of the planet’s surface. The scientists, writing in the Anthropocene Review, are even more alarmed that very little of it is ever recycled and that buried layers of technofossils that define our era will clutter and weigh down the planet, hampering future generations. Don’t just think of “garage sale” stuff, wrote Mother Nature News; think of every single thing we produce.

Curses, Foiled Again

Finer Points of the Law

A federal appeals court agreed with a jury in December that Battle Creek, Mich., police were justified in shooting and killing two hardly misbehaving family dogs during a legal search of a house’s basement. Mark and Cheryl Brown had pointed out that their dogs never attacked; one, an officer admitted, was “just standing there” when shot and killed. The officers said that conducting a thorough search of the premises might have riled the dogs and threatened their safety.

Police were called, but quickly learned that it was just a 12th-grade boy practicing a basketball move and pretending to dunk.

Classes were canceled in early December in the village of Batagai in the Yakutia region of Siberia when the temperature reached minus 53 Celsius (minus 63 Fahrenheit), but only for kids 15 and under; older children still had to get to school.

Yakutia is regarded as the coldest inhabited region on the planet.

Low-Tech Pervs

Spencer Hanvey, 22, was charged with four burglaries of the same MedCare Pharmacy in Conway, Ark., in October and November, using the same modus operandi each time to steal drugs. Oddly, the drugs were not for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

A camera-less Alan Ralph, 62, was arrested in Sarasota, Fla., in December after being seen on surveillance video in October in a Wal-Mart stooping down to the floor to peer up the skirt of a woman.

John Kuznezow, 54, was charged with invasion of privacy in Madison, Wis., in November after he was discovered, pants down, up a tree outside a woman’s second-floor bedroom window.

School Dazed

Bright Idea

Scene of the Crimes

Hamden High School in Connecticut was put into lockdown for an hour on Dec. 15 when a student was seen running in the hallway, zigzagging from side to side, swinging an arm and leaping into the air.

1.4.17 - 1.10.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

For about 10 years, organized crime rings operated a makeshift U.S. “embassy” in a rundown pink building in Accra, the capital of Ghana, issuing official-looking identification papers,

Leonard Rinaldi, 53, was arrested in Torrington, Conn., in November following his theft of a rare-coin collection belonging to his father. The coins were valued at about $8,000, but apparently to make his theft less easily discoverable, he ran them through a Coinstar coin-cashing machine, netting himself a cool $60.

James Walsh was arrested in Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Dec. 12 at a Wal-Mart after carting out an unpaid-for big-screen TV. Walsh said he had swiped a TV on Dec. 11 with no problem, but failed to notice that, on Dec. 12, the store had a “shop with a cop” event at which St. Lucie County deputies were buying toys for kids.

Recurring Themes

Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation remains the most storied, but Venezuela is catching up. In mid-December, the government declared its largest-currency bill, the 100-bolivar note, worthless, replacing it with larger denomination money after a brief cash-in period that has ended. The 100-bolivar’s value had shrunk to 2 cents on the black market. Stacks of it were required to make even the smallest food purchases, and since wallets could no longer hold the notes, robbers feasted on the “packages” of money people carried around while shopping.

JAZZ FEST TIMETABLE IN MOTION

T Frank Malfitano enjoys the 2016 Jazz Fest.

Michael Davis photo

here are known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns, as former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld infamously stated in a 2002 news briefing. With that in mind, here’s what is known and unknown regarding the 35th M&T Syracuse Jazz Fest.

The biggest news is that the dates have already been scheduled, with the free-admission festival taking place Friday, June 9, and Saturday, June 10, at the Onondaga Community College campus. Frank Malfitano, Jazz Fest founder and producer, had his reasons for the way-earlier-than-expected announcement: “In the past decade and a half Jazz Fest has been more headliner-driven than ever, and this was the weekend that worked out best for our major 2017 headliners.

It’s also a changed landscape in Syracuse these days with regard to a vastly increased number of outdoor events, festivals and concerts taking place in the region. As such, we wanted to be the first major festival of the summer out there, to help kick things off and set a positive tone

for the rest of the local cultural calendar and summer season.”

Other certainties regarding the festival include: Mark Gummer’s National Audio will return for the 35th year to head the festival production, staging, lighting and sound duties; a baker’s dozen of Syracuse-area food trucks will be back; Limp Lizard, Onondaga Beverage and Greenwood Winery and Bistro will again host the festival’s food court, wine court and craft brew areas; and Price Chopper will sponsor the annual fireworks display, as the supermarket chain has done for 20 years. This year’s event will also pay posthumous tribute with a dedication to Oscar L. Peterson Jr., longtime Jazz Fest board president and WAER-FM 88.3 jazz disc jockey.

Regarding the festival’s programming, Malfitano hints at various musical styles ranging from swing and soul to jazz and pop, as well as Syracuse-based emerging regional artists who have been discovered by WSYR-Channel 9 news anchor Carrie Lazarus and her Fund for Extraordinary Talent.

Of course, the unknown unknowns concern the headlining acts, although it seems a good bet that some heavy hitters have already been booked given that the festival dates have been slated so early. Malfitano will reveal the details at an upcoming press conference at M&T Bank’s downtown branch, 101 S. Salina St., a publicity event that has also been significantly moved up from its traditional mid-April launch. SNT

What are you most proud of from the past year?

People stopping me every day to say they had a great time at the Lakeview Amphitheater has been very gratifying this year. We had a wildly successful first season with top-name talent and more than 200,000 people from every state in the country on the shore of Onondaga Lake. The economic opportunity and excitement it generated surpassed expectations. We have been nominated for a Pollstar award for best new major concert venue in America and we couldn’t be more excited for next season.

FOOD

By Margaret McCormick A typical Greenfork delivery.

GREENFORK MAKES HOUSE CALLS WITH ECLECTIC MENUS

M

eal delivery kit services like Blue Apron and HelloFresh are everywhere these days and they cater to all tastes and lifestyles. They offer healthy options, easy-to-follow instructions and recipes, and a minimum of ingredients, fuss and waste.

They’re also customizable and even eclectic, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus available. One service offers a different smoothie a day, while another delivers Southern-inspired cuisine with recipes from that region’s top chefs.

In Central New York, there’s a meal delivery service with a local, regional and seasonal twist: Greenfork. The service was launched in late 2015 by Anton Burkett, founder and chief executive of Early Morning Farm, and Tracy McEvilly, marketing director and recipe developer for the CSA (community supported agriculture) farm in Genoa, in Cayuga County.

Like other meal prep/delivery subscription services, Greenfork offers interesting choices, perfectly portioned ingredients to minimize food waste and illustrated, stepby-step instruction/recipe cards designed to make cooking easy. Meal ingredients arrive at your door in a chilled box, with

the majority of ingredients sourced close to the Finger Lakes, or within 250 miles of it.

A meal box might contain pasture-raised meat from The Piggery, in Trumansburg; meadow butter from Kriemhild Dairy Farms, Hamilton; goat cheese from Lively Run Goat Dairy, Interlaken; tomato and vegetable purees from Crooked Carrot Farm and Kitchen, Ithaca; and breads from Ithaca Bakery.

Recent menus have included butternut squash and aged goat cheese ravioli; bacon, kale and cheddar tart; winter vegetable ginger miso lo mein; grassfed beef shepherd’s pie with rosemary mashed potatoes and winter vegetables; braised apple cider chicken; sweet potato and parsnip latkes and chorizo potato tacos.

The two-person plan, with all the ingredients for three meals for two, is $72 per week. A family plan with two meals

for four people is $80 per week, or four meals a week for $152.

Meal boxes are packaged at the Finger Lakes Fresh food hub facility, in Groton.

The food hub is a division of Challenge Workforce Solutions, a nonprofit, vocational organization that helps people with disabilities and barriers to employment meet the changing needs of the workplace.

Burkett founded Early Morning Farm in 1999 with three acres and a garden Rototiller. Over time, the farm has grown to 100 acres and evolved into one of the largest CSA farms in the region. More than 40 varieties of produce are grown each season and CSA pickups are available at 40 locations in the Finger Lakes, Central New York and the Southern Tier.

Greenfork is an outgrowth of the CSA — in a way, Burkett says. CSA members have told him over the years their biggest challenge is coming up with recipes that

use the seasonal bounty in their shares each week. Early Morning Farm introduced how-tos, recipes and videos on its blog several years ago and has an extensive database of recipes for Greenfork to draw from. Greenfork is also working with Ithaca-area chefs to develop recipes for the meal delivery service.

Some CSA members have subscribed to Greenfork, Burkett says. Most customers are working professionals and empty-nesters who have retired recently and/ or no longer have children at home and have “changed their diets and changed the way they cook.’’

“With working families, both parents are working and they’re busy and they’re running the kids around and they’ll do anything to get a good healthy meal on the table,’’ Burkett says.

“Our customers really value the local aspect and the regional aspect of the food.

And the convenience of it. It’s not just cooking that you do. It’s the planning and shopping and cooking. To pull it together, they’d have to stop at the local grocery store and the local butcher and the farmers markets. It saves a lot of time, which allows people to do what they want to do to begin with.’’

The service also encourages non-cooks to get involved in the kitchen, to learn new skills and experiment with recipes.

“I was skeptical about this idea until I personally ordered from one of these services and got it to my house and I made something I would have never thought to make. And it’s beautiful and the instructions make sense.

“I think it’s true it empowers people to learn how to cook a new thing and it de-compartmentalizes the cooking chore,’’ Burkett says. “Say someone in the household cooks all the time. Now you get this service that shows up and someone who doesn’t feel comfortable in kitchen can make this. They can do this and when they’re done with it they’re going to feel good about what they did.’’

THINGS THAT MATTER

By Luke Parsnow

Heralding “the New York State Experience” on the New York State Thruway. Bill DeLapp photo

FEDS TO THRUWAY: SIGNS OFF!

I

f you’re a regular driver of the New York State Thruway, you’ve probably noticed a whole bunch of those new blue signs, brightly touting the state’s many attractions under the infamous catchphrase and logo “I Love NY.” As it turns out, the federal government isn’t exactly sharing the love.

Officials say the signs don’t comply with federal rules because they are too big and contain too much information, which can lead to distracted driving and cause accidents. The state Department of Transportation and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have long defended the signs in a quarrel that goes back three years.

National Highway Administrator Gregory Nadeau met recently in Washington, D.C., with state DOT Commissioner and former Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll to come up with a solution, although neither side seemed eager to compromise. The state claims it didn’t commit any wrongdoing and says the signs are helpful and beneficial. Meanwhile, the feds may threaten to cut nearly $1 billion in federal highway funding from New York if the signs don’t take their own exit.

Obviously, the state cannot afford to lose funding. But let’s be frank here. New York state is not only a tourism hot spot overall, but tourism is the lifeblood of the upstate economy.

Last year, the industry generated $102 billion in revenue for the state. And different regions have their own tourism trademarks, whether it be camping and snowmobiling in the Adirondacks or winery touring in the Finger Lakes. And attention-grabbing signs on roads that cut through the state from the shore of Lake Erie to the Long Island Sound are going to be valuable in promoting what each region has to offer.

Usually once a month, I drive a 100-mile stretch of the Thru-

1.4.17 - 1.10.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

way between Syracuse and Amsterdam and see a number of the blue signs along the way, most notably the one for the Lock E-13 Living History Rest Area by Canajoharie, which opened in July.

The site is one of the state’s “Path Through History” exhibits, this one featuring the important history of the Mohawk Valley and how the Erie Canal transformed the state forever. The area also has a “Taste NY” store, which sells food and beverages crafted by state companies and residents. Similarly, there is the Old Erie Canal Heritage Park in Port Byron, which was completed last fall and can be accessed from the Thruway.

The signs offer an incentive to both out-of-state drivers and lifelong residents to explore upstate New York’s many treasures.

Many small communities have suffered from economic distress for some time and rely heavily on visitors coming to spend their money. The signs provide the catalyst for that to happen.

Ever since visiting western states years ago where signs providing directions to campgrounds and attractions were severely lacking, I’ve come to appreciate the plentiful ones that are scattered along roadsides across the state courtesy of my tax dollars.

To have them taken down would not only damage inroads to helping the state’s economy, but it would completely waste the $1.76 million of taxpayer money it took to manufacture and put up the more than 500 signs.

Seeing how a good portion of the signs were actually made in

Arkansas, which is another discussion in itself, taking the signs away is not something the citizens of this state deserve.

That just makes it more imperative that Albany and Washington come to a sound resolution that involves keeping them up in some fashion.

But the state was told back in 2013 that the signs were illegal, and, according to documents obtained under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, brushed off a formal proposal from the federal government to work together on creating promotional signs that were both informative and compliant with the law. The New York Times likened the state’s decision to go ahead with the project anyway to “a recalcitrant teenager.” And sometimes teenagers need a stern talking to.

It is my hope that the signs remain standing and do so within federal limitations.

It is also my hope that in an age where cell phones and GPS devices are regular passengers in the car, the federal government puts up as big a fight about distracted driving because of those devices as it does about signs with Milton Glaser’s famous I Love NY logo on them.

Signs say a lot. And what these Thruway signs tell us is: With its population decreasing and fiscal stress prolific, both residents and tourists can be reassured that the upstate region is worth stopping and staying in once in a while, not just a place for passing through. SNT

MUSIC

WISHFUL THINKING FOR 2017’S MUSIC SCENE

M

any people could not wait for 2016 to call it quits, especially considering the year-end curtain calls of unexpected losses (George Michaels and Carrie Fisher, RIP) and a political climate that grows more polarizing with each tweet. However, I’m hoping for the best in 2017, so here’s a wish list for a year that can only (I pray!) be better than the last.

Artists with something to say. While some firmly believe that it’s not an artist’s place to comment on politics, I have to agree with Nina Simone’s view: “You can’t help it. An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” This is especially relevant today, and not just because no one wants to play for Donald Trump’s inauguration. It’s an era where race, gender and sexuality are at the forefront of our culture and they need to be discussed, as does the health and safety of our environment, the future of our children, and loving and accepting each other. I hope more artists talk about real life, real people, real concerns and real change.

Learn to listen. It’s a struggle being a musician today. Accessibility has made it so easy for anyone to hear whatever they want whenever they want. The ability to edit and alter sounds is also so insane that often what you are hearing is nothing like what was originally recorded. Our whole understanding of what music is and how it is made has shifted.

Music is our common language, but we’re forgetting how to hear it. So I’m hoping people will come back to their senses and remember how to listen to a live band. Sometimes it seems like people don’t understand what’s being created in front of them or don’t know how to gauge what they’re seeing and hearing, so they ignore it. They forget to feel the vibration, to celebrate the

connecting power that music has. They fail to put their phone down or stop talking. They forget how great it can be to listen and appreciate great music, to dance, to feel, to share in that with others, and to listen to original songs that come straight from the performer’s soul. I hope we all start to remember that again.

Real people making real music. One thing that I hope will continue is the visability and emphasis on people really making music. Although there will always be the giant songwriting factories and computers “correcting” music, it’s been encouraging to see a small movement to staying real. Pop stars are showing off that they’re multi-instrumentalists. Lady Gaga is slaying on her instrument, with her voice and her songs. Bruno Mars can do it all. Artists from the top of the popularity chain down are boasting that they’re more than a dancer who lip syncs. Bands who really play are really out there; with any luck, they’ll be more discovered and appreciated than ever in 2017.

Just do it. A few years ago came the Guitar Hero fad, with the idea being that anyone can shred in a video game. I understood that not everyone has musical talent and this was their chance to “play,” but I’d rather suck at actually playing than hit a bunch of buttons. While music education in schools is declining, it’s fascinating to watch School of Rock-type places pop up where kids are encouraged to play rock music, and to love what they

do. And the same programs are also available for adults. I hope to see more people getting out of the virtual world and into reality, by picking up an instrument or a paintbrush or a pen or whatever makes you tick in 2017. Pursue what you dream rather than play a game that makes you settle for a high score.

Support local music. This is emphasized all year long, but it can’t be underestimated. There are brilliant people around us doing what they love and struggling to do it. These artists pour blood, sweat and endless cash into their projects, making personal sacrifices along the way to do what they love. So if you dig it, support it in any way — by listening, buying, promoting. You’ll be helping your community, gaining a friend and benefiting yourself at the same time.

Learning to love. It’s been a tough year.

We’ve all felt the divide and seen what it does. But I hope that in 2017 we all put our jealousy, anger and differences aside and support and love each other a little bit more. Especially in music, because what is a musician without a listener? Openmike nights are full of creative people wanting to share; weekly jams are some of the best music you’ll find in town; and major joint shows such as BeatleCuse and Salt City Waltz are huge successes.

The mix of artists is inspiring, and the desire to collaborate with one another is beautiful. The sum is always greater than the parts if we can let our collective guard down and learn to work together and celebrate the community. I’m willing to bet we can all achieve a lot more that way.

So here’s to 2017: a year I hope is filled with more understanding and less virtual reality; more substance and less fluff; and more love and less hate, in music and in everything else. SNT

Season on the Br in k?

With few quality wins for the Orange, Coach Jim Boeheim’s hoops squad has 17 games left to get their act together

By Matt Michael

Bet you miss Trevor Cooney now, don’t you?

Cooney, a shooting guard who graduated from Syracuse University last spring, was a verbal punching bag for many Orange fans who expected him to become the next Gerry McNamara. But Cooney did play stellar defense at the top of SU’s 2-3 zone, and we’re finding out this season what that meant to the Orange.

There are several reasons why Syracuse, which reached the Final Four with Cooney last year, is a pedestrian 8-6 this season heading into its Atlantic Coast Conference home opener against Miami on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 7 p.m., at the Carrier Dome. At the top of that list is the defensive play of SU’s guards, who haven’t come close to matching what Cooney and Michael Gbinije did for the Orange last season.

The guards’ inability to locate and defend the other team’s best shooters has turned any decent Orange opponent into Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

South Carolina’s Sindarius Thornwell, Wisconsin’s Bronson Koenig, North Florida’s Dallas Moore, Connecticut’s Rodney Purvis, Georgetown’s LJ Peak, St. John’s Shamorie Ponds and Boston College’s Ky Bowman have all torched the Orange with high-scoring games.

In SU’s ACC opener on New Year’s Day, Boston College freshman Bowman joined the club by shooting 7-for-8 from 3-point range and scoring 30 points in the Eagles’ 96-81 rout of the Orange. BC shot 57.1 percent overall and connected on 16 of 26 shots from beyond the arc.

“Our problem is our guards defensively,” SU coach Jim Boeheim said after the BC game. “They’re just not finding players, they’re not finding shooters. We’re just not doing a good job. You can’t let people have open shots. And they’re not just open, they’re wide open.

“I don’t think it matters who we play; they’re not guarding people,” Boeheim added. “That’s the biggest problem we have. Against anybody who can shoot at all, our defense has been nonexistent.”

The Orange thought it hit rock bottom Dec. 21, when it suffered the worst home loss in Boeheim’s 41-year tenure: a humiliating 93-60 defeat to a 5-7 St. John’s team that was apparently better than its record showed as the Red Storm also upset then-No. 13 Butler Dec. 29.

The loss to St. John’s was SU’s fifth non-conference loss, marking the first time a Boeheim-coached team had ever lost five non-conference games. The next morning, before they left campus for a short Christmas break, the players held a players-only meeting at the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.

“We don’t want to waste a great team and a potentially great season because we aren’t playing hard and not being focused,” Orange guard Frank Howard said following SU’s 80-56 win over Cornell Dec. 27. “We had to sit down and reflect and look at ourselves first and then look at our teammates. We came to the agreement we are going to give it our all every day.”

That worked against Cornell, but SU hit a new low against a 7-6 Boston College team that hadn’t won an ACC game since March 7, 2015, and had lost to Nicholls State and Hartford earlier this season. The

Eagles snapped their 20-game, 664day ACC losing streak by scoring 96 points, the most Syracuse has allowed in an ACC game since joining the conference in 2013-2014.

“I really don’t have a good explanation for it,” Boeheim said. “I think they’re working hard, I think they’re trying to do what we want them to do.

But we’re not reading where the shooters are, and if you give guys open shots in college basketball, they’re going to make them.”

Before this season, Boeheim looked at his team’s depth and versatility and declared to ESPN that “This is the best team we’ve had in a long time.” But now, with the Christmas trees on the curb and the Golden Snowball race in full swing, this season may become more about Boeheim avoiding his first losing season than Syracuse making the NCAA Tournament.

While we’re pining for the Trevor Cooney glory days, let’s dig deep and find five reasons why we want to keep watching Syracuse basketball this winter: So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance. The Orange has not defeated a team from a Power Five conference or the Big East Conference this season. After the loss to Boston College, SU’s RPI ranking — a big reason the Orange made the NCAA Tournament last season despite a 19-13 record — was No. 222 out of 351 Division I teams. In case you’re wondering, SU was just behind Furman and just ahead of Gardner Webb.

Since only 68 teams qualify for the tournament, it’s not looking good for the Orange. But playing in the loaded ACC, SU will have several opportunities to notch impact wins if the Orange can get its act together.

Of its 17 remaining games, SU will play 10 against top-25 ACC teams (Duke, Louisville, Virginia, Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame) or teams on the fringe of the top 25 (Clemson and Miami). Four of those games are at the Dome against Florida State, Virginia, Louisville and Duke, so the Orange will get to play underdog and try to steal one or two in front of a large home crowd.

“We play a lot of good teams and if we get some of these wins, we’ll be right back on track where we’re supposed to be,” SU freshman guard Tyus Battle said.

Mr. 1,000*. Boeheim needs seven more wins to become only the second coach in Division I history to reach 1,000 wins.

Can he get it this year, and how will it be celebrated? In the record books, Boeheim is listed with 892 wins as the NCAA stripped 101 wins from Syracuse between 2004-2012 because of NCAA violations.

Boeheim has repeatedly said that he doesn’t care about the records, but 1,000 is extremely special as Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (1,055) is the only coach who has topped that mark. Even at 892 wins, Boeheim is 11 wins shy of passing Bobby Knight (again) for second place on the all-time list.

Will Lydon Go Pro? After a slow start, sophomore forward Tyler Lydon has asserted himself as Syracuse’s best player, averaging 13.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game and showing a determination that is often lacking among his teammates.

Depending on what NBA mock draft you’re looking at, Lydon is projected to get picked anywhere from the middle of the first round through the second round.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Lydon is most comfortable at power forward, but he may be undersized to play that position in the NBA. Will he return to get stronger and refine his game, or bolt a Syracuse team that’s already losing four seniors (fifthyear transfers Andrew White and John Gillon, and seniors DaJuan Coleman and Tyler Roberson)?

The Progress of the Underclassmen.

If Lydon leaves, the Orange will be left with four returning scholarship players: freshmen Battle and Taurean Thompson, sophomore Howard, and redshirt sophomore center Paschal Chukwu, who played in seven games before suffering what could be a season-ending eye injury.

For the 2017-2018 Orange to avoid a repeat of this year’s disastrous start, Battle and Thompson must emerge as stars.

Battle, a 6-6 shooting guard, has shown

flashes of brilliance (8.3 points in 23.6 minutes per game) while dealing with a nagging foot injury.

Thompson, a 6-10 forward who has been moved to center to accommodate Lydon at power forward and White at small forward, has shown the biggest upside as he’s averaging 9.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in just 17.8 minutes per game. Thompson’s minutes will continue to rise as Boeheim has decided to trade Thompson’s defensive inexperience for his offensive potential.

“He is a very, very good offensive player. Very gifted,” Boeheim said. “He needs work on his defense, rebounding-wise.

He is our best low-post player and it’s not even close.”

Howard, SU’s starting point guard, ranks second in the ACC in assists (6.0) and fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.5-to1), but most of his numbers were compiled against low- to mid-major teams.

Gillon is also a point guard and leads the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.5-to-1), but Howard will be SU’s point guard next year and SU will feel a lot better about next season if he shows improvement the second half of this year.

Next year’s roster will be filled out by 6-8 forward Matthew Moyer, who’s redshirting this season, and two recruits who have already committed: 6-8 forward Oshae Brissett and 6-10 center Bourama Sidibe.

The Orange could use an impact recruit because neither Brissett nor Sidibe is a top-50 recruit, and SU has already missed out on several highly rated recruits in this year’s class, including Quade Green and Nick Richards (Kentucky), Brandon Randolph (Arizona) and Lonnie Walker (Miami).

Boeheim’s Future. In March 2015, Boeheim’s plans to coach three more years were announced in the immediate aftermath of the NCAA investigation into SU’s program.

But that announcement was made at a time when former athletic director Daryl Gross was assigned a new position, and when several national media outlets were calling for Boeheim to step down. With new athletic director John Wildhack in place and last year’s Final Four appearance in the bank, many wonder if the 72-year-old Boeheim is ready to call it quits after next season.

Boeheim may have provided a window into his thinking following the Final Four loss to North Carolina, when he was asked if he considered retiring then so he could go out with a Final Four appearance.

“I’ve always thought you should walk away when you can’t win anymore,” Boeheim said. “I never really thought you should walk away when you do win.”

So perhaps more than anything else, the rest of this season may help Boeheim determine if it’s going to be hard to walk away, or really easy. SNT

STAGE

KRISH MOHAN: NOT YET A HOUSEHOLD NAME

W

ashington D.C.-based comedian Krish Mohan will take the stage Saturday, Jan. 7, 8 p.m., at Auburn Public Theater, 8 Exchange St. (Tickets are $15 in advance, $17 at the door.) Yet there is a good chance you have not heard about him. He hasn’t made television appearances on the late-night gabfest shows, and he hasn’t been seen on comedy specials. Avid radio listeners may have heard him on NPR programming or iHeartRadio’s Indie Bohemians.

The pithy Indian-American comic hops from club to club and updates a weekly satirical show, Fork Full of Noodles, on YouTube, plus his Taboo Table Talk podcast is about topics we all should be having at our dinner tables. Mohan’s fifth comedy album How Not to Fit In, released last August, features his sociological and political commentary.

Mohan chatted with the Syracuse New Times on a gig-free New Year’s Eve. “This is the first New Year’s Eve where I haven’t had a show in four or five years,” he admitted. “I’m going to see a friend, Tom Simmons, perform comedy at a club in Baltimore.

The one thing of being on the road is that you don’t get to see friends every day. I get to see what new material he’s working on and talk shop with him after the show.”

When did you realize you wanted to pursue comedy?

In high school at a talent show. I had a bunch of friends who were in bands, and one told me to try out and use the jokes I had.

I really didn’t have jokes; I was talking about things my mom does. I went home, filled eight note cards with material, which was something like a minute per card. After trying out, I made it into the show. So I’d go to a coffee shop every Friday night to write down material and sort out jokes, figure out what’s funny.

12

1.4.17 - 1.10.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

You’ve moved from topics about your mom to society and political commentary. How has your process changed?

I write every week, especially with my web series Fork Full of Noodles. Each weekly episode is based on a news story or particular issue.

I keep challenging myself to see if I can make some of the more difficult topics funnier. I push myself to keep writing every week, yet life gets in the way, and I may not get the chance to write every week.

I enjoy listening to my past sets, seeing if lines need to be cleaned up or if bits have to be changed around, taking a different approach to a topic. I try to write at least a little bit every day, even if it’s a line or two.

The questions I keep referring to: Why is this the norm? Why is this particular behavior considered normal? Why aren’t we considering something a little different? Why not find solutions instead of perpetuating the same thing over and over again?

The topics you tackle have the potential to be controversial. Did you have to hurdle over personal barriers or reluctance?

It’s a choice: Do you want part of the piece to be a point, or

do you want to make that funny? If the decision is made to find something absurd and make it funny, what is the appropriate way to go about it? It’s also important to keep the integrity about what I’m trying to say. It’s important to make points, because they can be more jarring than trying to make a joke, and that’s what I want.

The back and forth: This is what’s fun about the process. It keeps me excited about the material. It’s not doing the same thing the same way over and over again.

You reached out to us about your upcoming show. Do you always self-promote?

Yeah, I don’t have an agent. I’m not that famous. Everything I produce is promoted by me. I don’t like self-promotion, but it’s the necessary evil of my job. I don’t want to come across egotistical.

Standup comedy doesn’t really work without an audience. In order to get an audience, you have to tell people about it. If I could get at least 30 to 50 to come out to my shows in each city, that would be awesome. The opener gets paid well, the venue gets a great crowd, and I’ll be able to make a living in front of a good, open-minded crowd willing to listen to and enjoy something a little different.

Where else do you pull ideas from? Do you read a lot? Do you enjoy music?

Books are hard for me to get into. I try to read whatever book I’m reading once or twice a week, but I fall behind and it turns into four or five days out of the month. But I’ll read a lot of articles and essays based on stuff I’m interested in.

I always have to have some type of noise in the background while reading. It helps me focus. I listen to a lot of instrumental bands or political rap, because the vocals have a certain cadence to them.

With the beat on top of that, I can still drum on a table and still be focused on what I’m reading or writing.

Any current topic you are more interested in than others?

I’ve made the mistake a lot of people do: not reading the opposition. I’m progressive and liberal. A year or two ago I would have said I’m not reading that garbage (referring to more conservative

literature). Now I think it’s really important, especially with particular topics being brought up by conservatives.

HB2 (House Bill 2, North Carolina’s controversial Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act) was one of those bills.

I want to know what they are saying and what the rationale is behind it. Why is it that transgender people not use the bathroom? I’m trying to be more aware of the opposite belief system and ideals as I have. Having this knowledge allows me to have a conversation with the opposition, not spring at them. And vice versa.

It’s important to be proactive and be empathetic.

Are there topics you’re not willing to talk about?

I don’t think so. It’s a matter of what’s interesting to me. I’ve started to think about the bigger picture.

There are discrimination bills that keep coming out and are trying to be pushed through Congress. They’re willing to take away the rights of gay people to sue companies that fired them because they’re gay, a company that has fired an unwed mother or a couple that lives together, on the basis of religion. Or it’s simply taking rights away from people. Now you can’t sue them, and it’s making discrimination the norm again. Well, there is one right we can take away, let’s see what else we can take away and then another one. It’s a daisy chain of taking rights away, and it’s closing up the conversation a little bit.

There are bigger problems that comes out of seemingly small legislation. It’s human behavior, and the choices we make based off of certain behaviors.

Human behavior is always fascinating.

Is this what you went to school for?

I went to school for graphic design, but even that can be turned into a study of human behavior, about how we view patterns and how we associate meanings.

I would correlate that graphic design and comedy have a lot to do with each other.

They utilize the creative process in the same way, and there is art behind all of this.

You can have a great piece of graphic design that says a whole lot in a little bit, and the same thing goes for standup comedy. Why did this person opt for the red bag instead of the blue one? This person who buys the red bag views this with having a sense of power and views themselves as being more passionate. The yellow and black bag isn’t selling, because humans associate the colors with bees and bees are dangerous. Now we associate the yellow and black with danger.

Any other projects in the works?

At the moment, all I’m really doing is touring. (Laughs.) I’ve been working on the Taboo Table Talk since June. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m happy with it, knowing that I have something I can jump off from. I can now sharpen what

I have and figure out what I want to talk about next.

I don’t have any television appearances lined up. Normally this type of comedy isn’t seen on TV very often. I don’t think it’s commercially viable. But that isn’t why I do comedy. I want to keep getting better and having whatever I want to talk about, whether it’s mental health or the state of the country, be funny and have substance.

Any resolutions?

I think self-betterment is always the ultimate resolution and sticking to it.

Our resolutions should be to stick to our resolutions, but I think being empathetic and more understanding, especially to points that I disagree on. It’s OK that we both have different beliefs, but can we just respect each other as people instead of judging and killing ourselves over the trivial little things we’re getting angry about.

What will people get out of your show?

The show is based around breaking stigmas. Hopefully, they won’t feel terrible.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by R ob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Light, electricity

and magnetism are different expressions of a single phenomenon. Scottish scientist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the first to formulate a theory to explain that startling fact. One of the cornerstones of his work was a set of 20 equations with 20 unknowns. But a younger scientist named Oliver Heaviside decided this was much too complicated. He recast Maxwell’s cumbersome theory in the form of four equations with four unknowns. That became the new standard. In 2017, I believe you Aries will have a knack akin to Heaviside’s. You’ll see the concise essentials obscured by needless complexity. You’ll extract the shining truths trapped inside messy confusions.

Sometimes we just need a little

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The fictional character Scott Pilgrim is the hero of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s series of graphic novels. He becomes infatuated with a “ninja delivery girl” named Ramona Flowers, but there’s a complication.

Before he can win her heart, he must defeat all seven of her evil ex-lovers. I’m sure your romantic history has compelled you to deal with equally challenging dilemmas, Gemini. But I suspect you’ll get a reprieve from that kind of dark melodrama in 2017. The coming months should be a bright and expansive chapter in your Book of Love.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road,” wrote Franz Kafka.

“It must catch fire if you want to go further.”

Let’s analyze this thought, Taurus. If it’s to be of maximum use for you in 2017, we will have to develop it further. So here are my questions.

Did Kafka mean that you’re supposed to wait around passively, hoping the thornbush will somehow catch fire, either through a lucky lightning strike or an act of random vandalism?

Or should you, instead, take matters into your own hands -- douse the thornbush with gasoline and throw a match into it? Here’s another pertinent query: Is the thornbush really so broad and hardy that it blocks the whole road?

If not, maybe you could just go around it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The creature

known as the short-eared elephant shrew is typically four inches long and weighs a little more than one ounce. And yet it’s more genetically similar to elephants than to true shrews. In its home habitat of southern Africa, it’s known as the sengi. I propose we regard it as one of your spirit animals in 2017. Its playful place in your life will symbolize the fact that you, too, will have secret connections to big, strong influences; you, too, will have natural links with powerhouses that outwardly don’t resemble you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “When I look back, I

see my former selves, numerous as the trees,” writes Leo poet Chase Twichell. I’m sure that’s an experience you’ve had yourself. Do you find it comforting? Does it feel like being surrounded by old friends who cushion you with nurturing familiarity? Or is it oppressive and claustrophobic? Does it muffle your spontaneity and keep you tethered to the past? I think these are important questions for you to meditate on in 2017. It’s time to be very conscious and creative about shaping your relationships with all the people you used to be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “’Life experience’ does not amount to very much and could be learned from novels alone, without any help from life.” So said Nobel Prize-winning author Elias Canetti, who was born in Bulgaria, had British citizenship, and wrote in German.

Although his idea contradicts conventional wisdom, I am presenting it for your consideration in 2017. You’re ready for a massive upgrade in your understanding about the nature of reality -- and firsthand “life experience” alone won’t be enough to ensure that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I am rooting for you to be flagrantly unique in 2017. I vehemently want you to be uninhibited about expressing your deepest, rawest, hottest inclinations. In

this spirit, I offer the following four rallying cries: 1. “Don’t be addicted to looking cool, baby!”: my friend Luther. 2. Creative power arises when you conquer your tendency to stay detached: paraphrased from poet Marianne Moore. 3. If you want to be original, have the courage to be an amateur: paraphrased from poet Wallace Stevens. 4. “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few.”: Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “There is a desperation for unknown things,” wrote poet Charles Wright, “a thirst for endlessness that snakes through our bones.” Every one of us has that desperation and thirst from time to time, but no one feels the pull toward perplexing enchantments and eternal riddles more often and more intensely than you Scorpios. And according to my astrological meditations on your life in 2017, you will experience this pull even more often and with greater intensity than ever before. Is that a problem? I don’t see why it should be. In fact, it could make you sexier and smarter than ever, especially if you regard it as a golden opportunity to become sexier and smarter than ever.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) I hope you will seek out a wide range of intoxicating experiences in 2017. The omens predict it. Fate sanctifies it. I hope you will gracefully barrel your way through the daily whirl with a constant expectation of sly epiphanies, amusing ecstasies and practical miracles. There has rarely been a time in your life when you’ve had so much potential to heal old wounds through immersions in uncanny bliss. But please note: The best of these highs will NOT be induced by drugs or alcohol, but rather by natural means like sex, art, dancing, meditation, dreamwork, singing, yoga, lucid perceptions and vivid conversations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) I thought of you when I read a tweet by a person who calls himself Vexing Voidsquid. “I feel imbued with a mysterious positive energy,” he wrote, “as if thousands of supplicants are worshiping golden statues of me somewhere.” Given the astrological omens, I think it’s quite possible you will have similar feelings on regular occasions in 2017. I’m not necessarily saying there will literally be golden statues of you in town squares and religious shrines, nor am I guaranteeing that thousands of supplicants will telepathically bathe you in adoration. But who cares how you’re imbued with mysterious positive energy as long as you are?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) When it’s

summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the birds known as arctic terns hang out in Greenland and Iceland. Before the chill sets in, they embark on an epic migration to Antarctica, arriving in time for another summer. But when the weather begins to turn too cold there, they head to the far north again. This is their yearly routine. In the course of a lifetime, a single bird may travel as far as 1.25 million miles, or the equivalent of three roundtrips to the moon. I propose that you make this creature your spirit animal in 2017, Aquarius. May the arctic tern inspire you to journey as far as necessary to fulfill your personal equivalent of a quest for endless summer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In June 1962,

three prisoners sneaked out of the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, located on an island in San Francisco Bay. Did they succeed in escaping? Did they swim to safety through the frigid water and start new lives abroad? No one knows. Law enforcement officials never found them. Even today, though, the U.S. Marshals Service keeps the case open, and still investigates new evidence when it comes in. Are there comparable enigmas in your own life, Pisces?

Events in your past that raised questions you’ve never been able to solve? In 2017, I bet you will finally get to the bottom of them.
