Syracuse Fashion Week executive director Lisa Marie Butler: This year’s Syracuse Snarl will be “fun and ghoulish.” Michael Davis photo
Syracuse Snarl, an autumn component to the Syracuse Fashion Week series, highlights original costumes from local designers as they explore their creative side in collaboration with others in the community. The “Mythological Monsters & Creepy Creatures” runway show will be held Thursday, Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m., at the allegedly haunted Landmark Theatre, 362 S. Salina St., just in time for Halloween. Syracuse Fashion Week executive director Lisa Marie Butler launched the Snarl series in 2012 — thanks to a prophecy. “It was supposed to be the end of the world, that Mayan apocalypse of 2012,” Butler explained. “A woman (at the Landmark) said, ‘Let’s do a zombie apocalypse fashion show,’ and I said, ‘Why not? I’m up for anything.’” The event was fun, theatrical and a total success. Unlike other Syracuse Fashion Week events, Snarl’s designers are given latitude to interpret the year’s theme and often infuse their own identity and interests into their costumes. Previous themes have ranged from “Fairytales” to “Hollywood Horror Films.” One year, costumed models were covered in different meats and sausages for people to pick off the body and eat. “Charming, I know,” Butler joked. “We’re trying to do something similar to that with this year’s event. Plus drinks, of course.” For this year’s edition, John Harris of Syracuse-based jewelry company JPHii Design will bring a personal side to his creations with the mythology-themed set “Celtic Corruption.” “The idea is that the color of red is taking over the green, which is a commentary on early British exploitation of the Irish people,” said Harris. With his Irish and English heritage, Harris can identify with both Celtic myths and the politics of these two groups.
Snarl’s 2016 theme “Folklore” led Harris to the story of Aladdin. Kevin Brite, local photographer and videographer of Brite Side Photography, was outfitted as a “steampunk Aladdin” in Harris’ set. Brite carried a carpet over his shoulder and, at the end of the runway, threw it to the floor. “I jumped on top of the magic carpet to surf on it a little bit, and everyone was cheering,” he said. Joelynn Avery of clothing shop Avery Vintage also walked in the last Snarl event. “It was my first foray into the Syracuse fashion scene and it was a ton if fun,” said Avery. “It’s a crazy-creative time for people watching and participating.” Brite became involved in Snarl in an attempt to combat social anxiety: “(You) just throw yourself into uncomfortable situations, and that helps to build you up. Once you do that, you’re less nervous about things in the future.” After putting himself out there in one event, Brite started to model. Through his relationships with photographers and other creatives he’d met through this work, he launched his own media business. “I would like to encourage everybody,” Brite said. “You never know what you’re going to learn by just going out there and doing things.” Snarl watchers can look forward to work from an array of local designers, with decorations by Fulton haunted attraction Frightmare Farms. While Butler and others involved try to keep the event’s features under wraps, she hinted that “naked, painted models will do something fun and ghoulish,” and “there will be a surprise, and a crypt on the stage.” Tickets range from $20 to $50 and can be purchased at cnytix.com/events/ syracuse-snarl.

THINGS THAT MATTER B y L u k e Pa r s n o w
CUOMO WON’T DEBATE ISSUES WITH HIS OPPONENTS In less than two weeks, New Yorkers will cast votes for candidates running for various offices, including the state’s chief executive. The governor of New York represents nearly 20 million people from the shores of Long Island Sound to the shores of Lake Erie. The state is one of the most influential powerbrokers in the federal government; if it were a nation, New York would rank as the 11th largest economy in the world. The office of governor is an important role. Citizens of New York should be given a clear view of the candidates who believe they are the best ones for that role. Unfortunately, incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo has refused to accept terms for a single public debate between himself and Republican candidate Marc Molinaro, not to mention the other candidates vying for the office: Green Party member Howie Hawkins, independent Stephanie Miner and Libertarian Larry Sharpe. Political debates are one of the most
fundamental parts of our electoral process. In an age when so many people are fed up with what they perceive as fake politicians, the classic debate between two or more candidates represents one of the last remnants of authenticity in our modern politics. Debates have no Teleprompters, no scripts and no retakes. They expose a candidate’s strengths and flaws and reveal their character. The fact that Cuomo doesn’t seem interested in taking part is extremely disappointing and alarming. But it doesn’t take a political genius to figure out why the governor isn’t fond of joining with his opponents on a televised stage. Cuomo would be forced to answer tough questions about the rampant corruption that has occurred in state government under his watch. That includes one of his former top aides, Joseph Percoco, who was sentenced to six years in prison in September for his role in a bribery scheme. Jen Sorensen

Cuomo claims to have known nothing about the scheme. But many people are eager to know how a governor who has admitted to being a habitual micromanager knew absolutely nothing about illegal operations going on feet away from his office. Cuomo is also currently dealing with a federal investigation into $400,000 in donations that were made to his campaign from employees of Crystal Run Healthcare, a Hudson Valley company. Yet it is probably in Cuomo’s best interest to just stay quiet rather than speak without prepared statements. The governor has made national headlines numerous times from controversial comments he made by speaking offhandedly, from telling a reporter that her question about sexual harassment in state government was “a disservice to women,” to blaming New York’s mass exodus on cold weather, to his infamous remark that America “was never that great.” It’s not just about him staying quiet. A debate would give Molinaro free airtime to criticize Cuomo on a public stage and an opportunity to spread his message to a good portion of the New York audience who don’t even know who he is. Cuomo has just about every tactical advantage. He is a well-known incumbent, has 29 times the amount of campaign cash as Molinaro, and a Quinnipiac University poll released last week shows he leads the Republican by 23 points. Why rock the boat when you’re ahead, right? Well, not having a debate means that voters will make a decision on the governor’s race that is largely based on the exaggerated and sometimes inaccurate political advertisements on TV and the unvetted political spin that comes from the candidates themselves. Cuomo’s reluctance to debate means that he is completely complacent with political campaigns being decided entirely by the powers of big money and incumbency. If Cuomo believes he deserves a third term in office, he needs to make a case for himself and tell us why. And if any candidate in any race can’t find the time or the courage to face the people they want to win votes from, then they certainly have no business representing them. SNT

STAGE
By James MacKillop
WORLD PREMIERE DRAMA CONCERNS SLAVERY IN CENTRAL NEW YORK In the program notes for Syracuse Stage’s world premiere of Possessing Harriet (running through Nov. 4), playwright Kyle Bass admits that if the four historical persons from 1839 depicted in his play were to come and see it, they would not recognize themselves in his dialogue. The best-documented of the four, 24-year-old feminist Elizabeth Cady, (later Elizabeth Cady Stanton), does repeat a line oft-cited in her oratory, that her father told her he wished she had been a boy. But the best lines and strongest speeches belong to the character about whom Bass knew the least. And it’s not the title character Harriet. The archival evidence for Bass’ drama is pretty slight. About five years ago executive director Gregg Tripoli of the Onondaga Historical Association brought it to him. In autumn 1839, the Davenport family of Syracuse retuned from Mississippi with Harriet Powell, a tall, fairskinned quadroon (one quarter African ancestry) female in tow. While the entourage was staying in a Syracuse hotel, a worker named Thomas Leonard, a freed black man, helped her to escape to several rural safe homes, settling in the three-story mansion of famed abolitionist Gerrit Smith in Peterboro, Madison County. There Harriet met Smith’s cousin, Elizabeth Cady, also 24 in the play. Cady Stanton mentioned the meeting in her memoirs, published in 1896, but allowed it only a half-paragraph. Bass has also visited Harriet’s grave near Kingston, Ontario. Peterboro, now a hamlet in Smithfield, is 26 miles southeast of Syracuse and north of Morrisville. It is the home of the National Abolition Hall of Fame, from which a founder, Norman K. Dann, contributes program notes about Gerrit Smith and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Set designer Donald Eastman implies the residence was a solid country place, capacious but with high, unfinished timbers on the ceiling of the third floor. The action begins with tension. Harriet (Nicole King) feverishly paces the floor while conversing with a taciturn, enigmatic Thomas (Daniel Morgan Shelley). She is shy, not given to long speeches, but speaks well for an unlettered “possession” of a white family. Thomas advises she remove her shoes to reduce any chance of her being heard by predatory slave-catchers, a note reminiscent of the confinement of Anne Frank. Two white characters enter, Gerrit (Wynn Harmon) and Elizabeth (Lucy Lavely), bubbling with welcoming enthusiasm. Both fill us in on the background, and Gerrit, in outrage, reads the entire advertisement for Harriet’s capture. In life Gerrit would have been 42 but

Harmon plays him a bit older. The real Gerrit was also a fearless advocate who supported John Brown’s raid and stood up to racist mobs. Here he’s a lighter figure, supplying many of the laughs in the first 20 minutes of this 100-minute one-act. Elizabeth says that he hates slavery but is in love with the cause and the sound of his own voice. One of Gerrit’s best laughs is when he trashes Andrew Jackson as “our idiot president,” even though he has been succeeded by his “Dutch lapdog,” Martin Van Buren. Extraordinarily well-educated for a woman of her time, Elizabeth introduces Harriet to new ideas of the self, which originate in the Enlightenment that had not penetrated the South, let alone slave quarters. Eventually, of course, these focus on the rights of women, specifically as they relate to marriage, which Elizabeth considers a form of bondage. Harriet is not ready to become a convert to the new cause. Not only are Elizabeth’s notions unfamiliar and upsetting, but she tends to use words Harriet does not understand, like “epiphany.” As Elizabeth is smitten with the man who will be her husband, she is torn by the question of being married or “free,” hardly a parallel to Harriet’s choice to flee the country and everything she has known. She is unsupportive of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion that killed many whites earlier in the decade. Lavely makes Elizabeth an ingratiating character, likely to embody the aspirations of white audiences, not at all the smug, condescending liberal of rightist cliché. But the drama is not about her. Harriet cannot stay where she is, with the ever-present danger of slave-hunters. And she also increasingly fears flight, a passage over unfamiliar water to Canada, and the unanticipated burdens of freedom. About this time the freedman Thomas enters the conversation. Whereas we know nothing about the 1839 Thomas, Bass admits in interview that the historical cypher allows him to inlay some of his own family’s history and memory.
The playwright grew up in Bridgewater, Oneida County, due east along Route 20 from Gerrit Smith’s Peterboro. His grandfather Everett Holmes was the town’s mayor; Holmes was also New York state’s first black mayor. Despite such acceptance, the family knew plenty of rampant, brutal discrimination, more likely to be remembered in an educated and cultivated household. Thomas had been a cryptic presence until he is set off by Elizabeth’s naïve question: “What is it like to be a colored man and free?” At this point Thomas becomes the playwright’s spokesman, what the French call a raissonneur. The device is common in the plays of George Bernard Shaw, whereas Thomas speaks with more intense conviction, accompanied by offstage sounds of cracking whips, than Shaw would have allowed. Bass is ahead of Shaw on other matters as well. His characters feel as though they had lived and are not mere abstractions carrying placards. Syracuse Stage has had world premieres before but none with the feel of this one. Playwright Bass, the company’s associate artistic director, is a visible and popular figure around town. Artistic director Robert Hupp said when he arrived that he wanted to champion a play on Syracuse history. Former artistic director Tazewell Thompson, whose reputation has grown more lustrous since he left 23 years ago, proves to be a resonantly empathetic director. Tension is tight throughout. He keeps energy focused on the title character, convincingly portrayed by Nicole King, even though she is quiet and often acted upon. Daniel Morgan Shelley’s delivery of Thomas’ speeches makes the blood pulse faster. An indication of how the audience is up for seeing Possessing Harriet comes when the word “Syracuse” is uttered in the dialogue, the first time that has happened in the 44-year history of the company. An audible ripple of approval passes through the crowd. SNT

STRANGE TO LOOK AT RELEASES DEBUT EP There are party bands, dance bands, rock bands, disco bands, all kinds of bands. Although Strange To Look At doesn’t fall under any of those titles, they are definitely a creepy act, and they have a new EP to prove it. Dan Poorman, a scribe for Syracuse. com, came to that conclusion when he was covering an Alto Cinco jam night in 2016, where he met Jeremy Allen, the mastermind behind the project. Allen told Poorman he had been trying to start a group, but hadn’t found the right people. “I asked him what kind of music it was,” bassist Poorman recalls. “And he said, ‘I don’t know how to describe it other than creepy.’” Allen had no idea that Poorman was a self-described horror nerd, however, and the match was instant. After Allen started sending tracks to Poorman, they eventually organized a rehearsal at Allen’s house with a drummer. The group initially began with just drums, bass and wild synthesizers. “He had weird synths all over the place,” Poorman says. “He has a bathroom painted like an outer space scene and a framed poster of the movie Forbidden Planet, which inspired (Halloween director) John Carpenter to both make his own movies and write his own scores. And I’m coming from a background obsessed with horror movies and horror-movie music. It just felt super-right.” The band formed in October 2016. The current lineup includes Allen on keys, synthesizer and vocals; his brother Tyler Allen on guitar; Beccah Avraham on vocals, keys and percussion; Gavin George on drums (although Giovanni Giardina played drums on the new EP); and Poorman on bass, vocals and additional guitar. The group has become known for their distinct sound, one that may remind listeners of a cross between the ambient, floating sounds of Portishead and a modern Pink Floyd. “I wanted to start a project that real-
ly stretched the boundaries of musical styles,” Allen says. “I had a few elements in mind. I wanted it to be heavy, progressive and analog. I also wanted moody, dissonant vocal melodies with a slight Indian influence.” All of that is achieved on their self-titled debut EP, which will be issued Friday, Oct. 26, 10 p.m., during a release party at Alto Cinco, 526 Westcott St. The band was supposed to play at Alto’s Halloween party in 2016, but they didn’t have enough material. “It’s almost like this band was born to play as many Halloween shows as possible,” Poorman says. “We wanted to play last year, too, and had so many offers, but Beccah was out of town. This year, we’re doing it.” Aside from the Alto Cinco bash, Strange To Look At will also play at Al’s Wine and Whiskey, 321 S. Clinton St., on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 9:30 p.m. The EP was recorded in May and June at MoreSound Recording Studio, where it was engineered, mixed and produced by Andrew Greacen and mastered by Jason “Jocko” Randall. The result is an effective trip through ambient themes. solid hooks and a dreamed-up spooky vibe. Guitar solos are reminiscent of the David Gilmour style. Avraham’s vocals are perfectly atmospheric, understated and yet strong. And the lyrics can’t help but draw listeners into songs like “Tie Me,” where Avraham accuses over ohhhs and ahhhs, “Now you’ve tied me to your hell/ tied me to your body/ the more I try to tell/ the farther my voice gets away.”
The songs take music and lyrics from various band members to create an extra-powerful combination that’s greater than the individual parts. Harmonies are eerie. Bass lines are brilliant. And the tracks are small journeys with movements, much like pieces of an orchestral arrangement. “The cool thing about this project is that it almost shouldn’t work, but it does,” Poorman says. “We didn’t set out to change the musical landscape in Central New York, but we’re of the mind that it has been, for a while, maybe stagnant. There are tons of great players and we really respect them. But a lot of them are using their chops to put out really easy,
safe, party music. That’s just not what we want to do. We wanted to combine all of our bizarre tastes and create something to fill an alternative space. “There’s been really cool feedback to hear from a lot of people we’d never expect to like our music, people from different scenes, styles and tastes. We want goths and drunk dads who only listen to Zeppelin and hipsters in jean jackets and hippies with hula hoops. We want to unify these subcultures to create one listenership, and I think we’re doing that. That’s our hope.” For information, visit facebook.com/ StrangeToLookAt. SNT

SPORTS By Michael Davis
The Syracuse University football team now boasts a 5-2 record, thanks to a nail-biting victory against North Carolina on Oct. 20 at the Carrier Dome. While the Orange Nation would not have been pleased with another close loss, Coach Dino Babers (top) and his squad (which includes quarterback Eric Dungey, right) managed a last-second touchdown in double overtime to overcome the Tar Heels, 40-37, which made the Homecoming weekend that much sweeter. The Orange returns to the Dome on Saturday, Oct. 27, 7 p.m., to battle NC State in the hopes of getting a sixth win for bowl eligibility.

WOMAN POWER IN ACTION
Rachel May and Janet Burman square off in the 53rd Senate District By Walt Shepperd Folks in the Rachel May campaign say they weren’t surprised that their candidate beat state Sen. David Valesky in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary for the 53rd District. But they’re quick to add that they believed that everyone else was.
Valesky had held the seat for 14 years, the last three two-year terms without opposition. He also held a leadership position in the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), a group of Democrats who caucused with Senate Republicans to maintain a balance of power. The IDC had been dissolved recently under pressure from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and May had secured an endorsement from the Working Families Party. But Valesky did not seem to feel undue pressure. May’s victory may reflect the national trend of more women getting into politics following Trump’s 2016 election. Plus, her chances in November are buoyed by the 53rd District’s 40 percent to 28 percent Democrat dominance in voter registration, with 24 percent non-enrolled. Republicans, however, should not dismiss the chances for another surprise. Their candidate, Janet Burman, is a hardened veteran of local political battles. A former chair of the Republican Committee of the city of Syracuse, she has made four runs for office, including Congress, the County Legislature,
the state Senate and the Common Council presidency. She has publicly renounced pressure from GOP leaders to run a negative campaign.
How can we establish and meet public school standards for the state?
Rachel May: We’ve had a policy up to now of punishing schools that don’t meet standards, punishing teachers in those schools. We have to get all of our schoolchildren to the point where they are meeting the standards to become effective as adults, in jobs or other things they need to do. Janet Burman: Syracuse’s public schools have failed to provide a quality education to many students. Graduation rates have been too low. Dropout rates have been too high, and far too often, students have been advanced to the next grade without making sufficient gains. Improvements have been made under our current school superintendent (Jaime Alicea), but significant progress is being hampered by a variety of constraints that have been imposed by the state. Teacher creativity is being stifled by too much emphasis on standardized tests. We are not receiving an adequate share of state funding. The high percentage of students with individualized education plans (IEPs) appears to be ignored by the funding “formu-
Janet Burman: “Term limits would help ensure that no one is allowed to accumulate the type of power and influence that is derived from longtime incumbency.”
la.” Teachers are prevented from maintaining discipline in the classroom. And the curriculum is being dictated by the state.
How can we guarantee funding to set and meet those standards?
May: This is the key issue that schools need more funding. A court case decided that many districts in the state are underfunded, dramatically underfunded in some cases, Syracuse among them. It’s one of my priorities going into the Senate to make sure that the funding that the schools are owed is made available so that these districts, especially the ones that are struggling to meet the standards, are getting the full funding that they need in order to hire enough teachers, in order to have enough extracurricular support for students in terms of mental health care. Burman: As state senator, I will fight for sufficient funding for our schools to enable smaller classroom size and more teachers’ aides to assist in addressing IEPs. I will advocate for greater control of curriculum at the district level; reducing state mandates; expanding vocational education; support for more “magnet” schools, offering concentration in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics; and streamlining procedures for establishing charter schools. Additionally, I will sponsor legislation to establish pilot programs for school vouchers in urban areas, empowering families with more choices for educating their children.

Continued from page 11 As a state senator, how can you engage the issue of urban poverty?
May: Urban poverty obviously is the billion-dollar question here in Central New York, and upstate New York in general. It’s not something with a single answer. It’s a whole constellation of answers. We can go back to the school issue, where students who are not being disciplined are building the prison pipeline. The wider issue of poverty is a combination of housing instability, of lack of jobs that are accessible to people who live in impoverished areas and don’t have the child care, or transportation, or the documentation, or don’t have a permanent address. There are a number of underlying issues that need to be addressed at the same time. You need to make sure that if you’re trying to solve one part of the problem, you’re not making it worse somewhere else. I want to be looking at the system as a whole and bring a holistic approach to issues like poverty. Burman: For four years in a row, Syracuse has been ranked as having the highest concentration of poverty in the nation among African-American and Hispanic populations. This is unacceptable and this has continued due to a lack of leadership. As state senator, I am willing to take the lead on this issue. There is no shortage of concern in our community, and there is no shortage of talent and expertise in our community for tackling this problem. It requires a coordinated effort involving our mayor, county executive, Assembly representatives and state senators, along with the agencies, organizations and foundations that have the experience and knowledge to address the many aspects of poverty. We have so many resources to bring to bear on this problem. This is the birthplace of the literacy movement. We have the wherewithal to address the literacy challenges of those in poverty. The Community Foundation is embarking on a major effort to address the lead problems in our community. We know that to receive training and to enter the workforce, reliable childcare is needed. Early intervention programs to support childhood health and development are proven effective. In order to succeed, responsibilities need to be assigned to those in government, those in nonprofit agencies, and to those representing businesses and foundations. Then these individuals must be accountable to our community. I am willing to be held accountable for progress in resolving this problem.
12
What was the IDC and is it really dead?
May: The IDC was a group of Democratic state senators who chose to ally themselves with the Republican leadership, thereby giving Republicans control of the Senate even when voters chose Democratic majorities. All eight of them faced primaries this year and six were defeated. The remaining two plan to conference with the Democrats, so the IDC is no longer a factor. Burman: The IDC embodied several ideas: the interests of areas of the state outside of New York City, bipartisanship, and fiscal responsibility. While the IDC has been dissolved, I hope there will be Democratic senators who recognize the importance of these ideas. My fear is that Democratic control of the state Senate will result in New York City-centric, partisan control, with too little regard for the concerns of Central New York and a lack of understanding that uncontained spending will continue to drive our children, our businesses, and us to leave the state.
How can you control corruption in state politics? May: New York has some of the highest campaign contribution limits in the country and allows people to circumvent the limits by forming LLCs (limited liability company). We can lower limits dramatically and close the LLC loophole to reduce the hold that big-money interests have on candidates. I am in favor of going farther than that and instituting public financing of campaigns on the model of New York City or other models being tested successfully around the country. We also need to have an independent ethics review board, with greater transparency and time limits on reviewing cases and reporting on decisions. Burman: The first thing I would do is sponsor legislation that prohibits campaign contributions from any entity or individual that does business with the state. This would eliminate an obvious conflict of interest. I also support the Senate Republican measure to create an open database of state contracts. This would provide necessary transparency to the public as to who is receiving state contracts. Term limits would help ensure that no one is allowed to accumulate the type of power and influence that is derived from longtime incumbency. And I would not allow any state official the power to award funds without strict and transparent adherence to bidding and contracting requirements. SNT

FILLING THE VOID
John Mannion: “Anyone who tags me as someone who would just kowtow to downstate politicians, that’s just political rhetoric.” Michael Davis photos
Robert Antonacci and John Mannion contend for John DeFrancisco’s state Senate seat By Walt Shepperd Neither Republican County Comptroller Robert Antonacci nor veteran Democratic schoolteacher John Mannion play the saxophone, which will leave an empty spot in political and cultural activities in Central New York’s 50th state Senate District. At the end of this term Republican John DeFrancisco, who currently occupies the district’s Senate seat, will be stepping down after 26 years, following 41 years of public life that also included seats on the Syracuse City School District Board and the city’s Common Council.
Fifteen years ago these pages reported Antonacci, a registered member of the Independence Party, approached Democratic Party county chair Bob Romeo to run for comptroller against incumbent Republican Don Colon after his own party had endorsed Colon. He lost, then won as a Republican in 2007. This is Mannion’s first run for public office after 25 years of teaching biology
and other sciences at West Genesee High School. Whoever wins, however, will need to save space for DeFrancisco, who soloed on saxophone for the 1976 Wild Cherry dance hit “Play That Funky Music” on stage at Festa Italiana. “I was the white boy,” DeFrancisco reflected.
What is the legacy of state Sen. John DeFrancisco?
Robert Antonacci: There is nothing but admiration and respect for Sen. DeFrancisco. He was a straight shooter, but more importantly he was a gentleman. He was kind, but yet he told you what he thought. But he listened and he made informed decisions. One of the things I’m absolutely committed to in terms of his legacy is continuing the Senior Fair he has every September. It’s a wonderful event.
Many times I would go through on my bike on the way to downtown, so I’ve seen it when it’s thriving, I’ve seen it when it dips, and I’ve seen its comeback, And I know right now we’re in limbo, and we need to make sure that that ball is picked up and run with, and that maybe to take the Westside Initiative and merge it with another organization that can keep it going. Revitalizing the Westside, one of our most impoverished areas, is very important.
If you win, what are you walking into in terms of partisanship?
Robert Antonacci: “I want to revive Skiddy Park, to be a home of youth baseball, and for all city residents to use.”
I think we’re similar in our style, in our honesty, even our brevity. I think we’re both fighters. We may have a little different style in getting to the finish line. But I’m honored to have the opportunity to replace him if the voters choose me. I think I’ll carry on his traditions just nicely. John Mannion: I found Sen. DeFrancisco to be a strong advocate for the area, especially in the arts. And I hope to continue that legacy to make sure that we have an enriched culture in the area. I will say that at the end of his 26-year term we are left with slow economic growth and the fifth-highest poverty rate in the country.
If you win, what will you do about Route 81?
Antonacci: It’s the most important issue this community will face for generations. This is an opportunity for those advocates of the community grid to get what they believe is important for the city. Likewise, I represent many constituents who live in the suburbs that believe they have to have the traffic going north and south for commerce, for economy, especially those who live in Skaneateles, because of truck traffic, those who live in DeWitt because of the increased traffic that will go through on the diversion through Interstate 481. Even though I don’t represent Salina, I think there will be an adverse effect on those businesses in Salina and Clay, which I do represent. The bottom line is
I will carry out this district’s wishes, but I think this is an opportunity where we can all come together, and we will tell the politicians in Albany and Washington that we want a combined hybrid tunnel so that everybody gets what they want. Yes, it’s more expensive. No, I’m not a fiscal knucklehead. But we’re talking about a 70-year project and I think there’s a lot of risks on both ends. Mannion: Coming at it from a scientific and economic look, while we might love the tunnel, and it would give us the best of both worlds, unfortunately when it comes to cost and logistics and cutting through infrastructure and a high water table, that might not be a possibility. We have to give the grid a chance. I’m concerned about drive time, with access to the hospitals and the university could actually be improved, so I think there are some positives there. Whatever decision is made, we have to make sure that we keep the jobs and the contractors working in the area. That is the highest priority.
Development on the Near Westside got a boost from Syracuse University, then sort of died. How do you revive it?
Antonacci: Baseball. I want to revive Skiddy Park, to be a home of youth baseball, and for all city residents to use. We can’t allow a complete neighborhood of the city of Syracuse to die. The bottom line is this: We have to pay attention to the Near Westside. Mannion: I grew up on Avery Avenue.
Antonacci: Sometimes checks and balances are the best thing. I firmly believe that if the Senate goes from Republican to Democratic control, there’s going to be some not-so-good things that are going to happen to the taxpayers of this state. That being said, I am willing to work across the aisle to make New York state the best it can be. And while I believe that we get shortchanged in upstate New York, we are the future of New York City. They lost a major financial services (AllianceBernstein), which moved to Tennessee. It’s not too long into the future with the change in technology that companies will start leaving; all that training can be done on an iPhone on a beach in Miami, or a cornfield in Idaho. Mannion: We have greater polarization of the parties than ever before. That is part of the reason that I’m running: It has to stop. Unfortunately we’re living in a time where the parties are moving toward both ends of the spectrum, and most of us are in the middle. When we get through the election process, we can not think of it as us and them. That’s become worse and worse over time. Although I do have a party affiliation we have to get in this together and work through real reform, especially ethics reform, to make sure that our tax dollars are spent prudently and our representatives are representing the interests of their constituents.
What is the upstate/downstate issue all about?
Antonacci: New York City has been able to survive with certain policies that work there, but don’t work in upstate New York. We have to recognize that the economy, the dynamic, the way of
life, is completely different in New York City. New York City does benefit financially more than we do in upstate, such as getting our fair share of school aid. New York City students get more per capita than upstate students get by almost $300 per student. The whole state needs a property tax cap. Mannion: I feel that I have a skill set that makes me a good negotiator and maintain relationships. Anyone who tags me as someone who would just kowtow to downstate politicians, that’s just political rhetoric. I wouldn’t do this if I was just a Democrat. I’m in it for Central New Yorkers, knowing that if I’m elected, there will still be a large group of constituents from this area that didn’t vote for me and I have to represent them as well.
Do you feel, as DeFrancisco did, an obligation to support the arts?
Antonacci: No question. Can you imagine the Final Four without bands? Can you imagine a college football game without bands? Everybody wants to be the quarterback, but try watching those things without the bands. I will also do the best I can to get the revival of the Syracuse Jazz Fest. In my second career I think I could have been a pretty good actor. I was Joseph in the third-grade Christmas pageant at Our Lady of Pompei. I didn’t play a musical instrument because we couldn’t afford it. Everybody needs math and science, but the soul is the arts. Mannion: I absolutely feel it’s an obligation. I watched what happened with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra and that was a horrible loss. We’ve made a comeback there. I want children of all ages in this area to have an enriched culture, so I make sure I fight for that. Not that I’m too concerned with party politics, but if we’re looking at the dynamics of the Senate and what the future may hold, I plan to be in the majority and I believe that will help assure that we keep bringing in funds for the arts to this area.
Do you play the sax?
Antonacci: Unfortunately I don’t¸ but my second-best option is my daughter plays the clarinet. She was on the all-county band. She’s my substitute. Mannion: My children play the clarinet, the piano, the baritone and the trumpet. SNT

THE OTHER GUYS
Local political figures Stephanie Miner and Howie Hawkins make their bids for the statehouse By Walt Shepperd Like the Syracuse New Times, gubernatorial candidates Howie Hawkins and Stephanie Miner are local and alternative.
As the backbone of the local Green Party, and former rank-and-file member of UPS union 317, Hawkins has run for office unsuccessfully 24 times. But winning is not the point, he observes, since amassing more than 50,000 votes in each of the last three elections for governor has ensured a place on the ballot for the following election and a platform for his ecologically friendly messages. After a stint on the Syracuse Common Council and two terms as the city of Syracuse’s mayor, Miner, currently teaching at New York University, expressed interest in a congressional run before gathering enough signatures from registered voters to qualify as an independent can-
didate for governor on the Serve America Movement line. Miner is not talking about next year’s county executive race, occasioned by Joanie Mahoney’s resignation, but Hawkins says he is definitely not interested — at least for now. Other gubernatorial candidates include Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo seeking a third term (he is also on the Working Families, Independence and Women’s Equality lines), Republican challenger Marc Molinaro (also on the Reform and Conservative lines) and the Libertarian Party’s Larry Sharpe. The state’s board of elections has disqualified candidate Jimmy McMillan from this year’s ballot on his Rent Is Too Damn High party line.

10.24.18 - 10.30.18 | syracusenew times.com
You’re running for governor, which is a real long shot. Why not run to replace retiring state Sen. John DeFrancisco, which you could probably definitely win? Stephanie Miner: I never got into politics for ambition. If that’s why I had gotten involved in it, there would have been a lot easier jobs that I could have run for than being mayor. I am attracted by the idea of having problems and having policies to solve them. What I have seen is that there are deep-seated problems that we have as a state; the culture in Albany that serves special interests, most notably campaign contributors, is not helping solve those problems. Standing up and speaking that message is more important than whether or not I’m competitive.
Why not run for the 4th Council District, which you almost won?
Howie Hawkins: I’ve run for 4th Council District four times, receiving as high as 48 percent of the vote. But this year we have state and federal elections and the Green Party asked me to run for governor. In 2014, the 5 percent I received were votes Cuomo wanted. He had wanted to roll up his vote to get more than his father ever got and lay the basis for a run for president. Instead, he got a lower percentage than he got in 2010. So he looked at what we were demanding and moved our way. We got the ban on fracking and paid family leave. But our 5 percent forced Cuomo to act. Being a corporate Democrat, he talks to the left and governs to the right. So we want another sizable vote to push our demands further.
As governor, using Syracuse as a model, how would you deal with the issue of poverty?
Miner: It impacts every part of the life cycle. You have to make sure young children have enough to eat, that families have safe housing, that we do what we can to prevent people from being homeless, that we give them the support they need. But we also have to link up the skills that our economy needs to the skills that they have so we can give them job training that will actually lead to a job. Hawkins: Liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, make poverty a big mystery. They create so-called
anti-poverty programs that pay professional middle-class people to supposedly educate, train and counsel the poor on how to behave. And the poor stay poor because wages remain low, there are not enough good jobs, and the rent is too damn high. The answers are clear. Raise wages and public assistance. Enforce laws against discrimination and segregation. Rebuild the housing, infrastructure and businesses in poor neighborhoods.
What about health care? Is the goal free health care for everybody? Miner: That is an illustration of how ill-equipped the political system has become to deal with the real issues. We have to have an honest discussion about how can we pay for health care so that we can get better results and be more efficient. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and there’s no such thing as free health care. In New York state we have the highest tax burden in the United States. And yet we are seeing services crumble, we see homelessness. And yet what are we spending money on? Billions of dollars on failed economic development projects which we can see don’t work, and they are mired in corruption. One of the reasons I got into this race as a nontraditional candidate with the independent Serve America Movement was to say that the traditional party structure and the traditional political system is not having a substantive dialogue about the public policies that are facing New York. We’re concerned with the lack of civility, the lack of relevant data for science, engaging in hyper-partisanship instead of solving problems. Hawkins: Yes, free at the point of delivery through universal single-payer public health care. We pay for it through progressive taxes that will be less for 98 percent of us than we now pay in taxes for Medicare and Medicaid and for private insurance premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket fees for uncovered services. It would cover all medically necessary services for all New York residents. It’s called the New York Health Act. It has passed the state Assembly four consecutive years and is one vote short in the state Senate. I am the only candidate for governor on the November ballot who will sign the bill when it passes.
Word is New York is the most corrupt state in the union. How corrupt is it?
Miner: Hardly a week goes by that there’s not an announcement about an investigation, an indictment, a trial, a conviction, a sentencing. If you look at how other people measure, New York is one of the most corrupt. I guess we should be thankful for Alabama because we’re neck and neck with Alabama. And then there’s the corruption that’s not illegal: We have the worst voter participation in the United States because we make it so difficult to participate. It’s all driven by the need to have politicians control their voters, not voters control their politicians. Hawkins: New York is more corrupt today than when George Washington Plunkitt, the Gilded Age state senator from Tammany Hall, defended his payto-play patronage machine funded by the robber barons of his day as “honest graft.” More than 50 state officials have been driven from office for crimes and ethics violations since 2000. We need public campaign finance, independent ethics oversight in place of the politician-appointed Joint Commission of Public Ethics, and a new Moreland Commission on public corruption. We need a full-time legislature with limits on outside income and term limits of two four-year terms for state executive offices and six two-year terms for state legislators.
With such extensive diversity, is it possible to set standards for education in this state?
Miner: It’s imperative that we do. In a global marketplace in the 21stt century we have to have a skilled workforce, and you do that through your public education system. Hawkins: Standardized texts are inherently class- and cultural-biased, even the math tests. A teacher told me about a really good student who wasn’t able to figure out a math problem about determining the area of a patio. The kid lived in a trailer park. He knew the math. He just didn’t live in an environment where he would know what a patio was. The state should call off its high-stakes testing scam. The tests are not used for educational purposes to help the teachers and students. They are used to rank the

teachers, students and schools; blame the teachers instead of high poverty for predictably low-scoring schools; and then privatize high-poverty schools into charter schools where investors can write off 39 percent of their investments in charters every year while collecting interest and doubling their money in seven years. It’s a raid on public school budgets and an attack on unionized teachers.
Are you progressive? Miner: I think that when you have a job like a mayor and you’re interested in solving problems, you realize that ideology doesn’t solve problems. It may give you a viewpoint, a level of experience, but what solves problems is being able to think through solutions and listen to different points of view and understanding that everybody has a part of the solution. Hawkins: If we are going to have responsive democratic government, liberal regulation of capitalism won’t work. Big business uses its economic power to regulate the regulators. Progressives need to become socialists for system change if we are going to implement real solutions to the problems we face, from poverty, crumbling infrastructure, crappy health insurance, price-gouging cable companies and the climate emergency.
What is the upstate/downstate conflict?
Miner: They have very different lifestyles and they have very different challenges. But there’s also a sense on both sides that the political system is not meeting those challenges. The subway system is crumbling around New Yorkers, and that’s the lifeblood of the city. A million New Yorkers have left this state in the past eight years. That’s more than any other state in the union. Hawkins: It’s a dirty bourgeois trick, a divide-and-conquer strategy promoted by capitalists and their paid-for representatives in both major parties. Working people all over the state face the same problems. Our wages are stag-
nant while the rent, health care, college, property taxes, and other costs of living keep rising. Infrastructure is crumbling. The schools are cutting back on music, sports, literature, history, civics and science. Forty percent of children in Syracuse and Buffalo are being disabled by lead poisoning. The climate crisis accelerates. The politicians can’t even solve the simple problem of finding one day for federal, state, and local primaries. So upstate politicians blame downstate and downstate politicians blame upstate. Anybody but themselves. It’s time for working people to start electing their own people independently of the two-party system of corporate rule. SNT

Dana Balter: You could argue that we’re already in a trade war, and I think Donald Trump is working pretty diligently to escalate that conflict. We’ve already seen here in our district the detrimental effects of that policy. We saw immediately a significant effect on our soybean farmers. They lost about 20 percent of the value of their crops within two months, and that’s a huge loss. We’re talking about small family farms that operate on razor-thin margins, so I’m very worried about that impact locally. But it is not going to stay contained just to our farming community, because escalating this trade war is going to make all the consumer goods that we purchase on a daily basis more expensive. And that means we’re seeing our health care costs go through the roof, we’re seeing gas prices go up. So I think it is reckless policy.
What is your opinion on the business regulatory environment: What’s worked, what hasn’t worked, and how does it come back home to Central New York?
REP RACE BECOMES REAL RABBLE-ROUSER John Katko and Dana Balter push their messages in congressional contest A growing number of observers of the 24th District congressional race are reflecting that the television campaign ads are making it the dirtiest such contest they’ve ever seen. Third-term incumbent Rep. John Katko, a former federal prosecutor, says after a long campaign it’s just the nature of it, unfortunately. He blames the bad vibes on outside groups stretching the truth. Dana Balter, who most recently taught Citizenship and Policy at Syracuse University before taking time off to campaign, says she isn’t slinging any mud. Balter held a recent meet-and-greet at St. Lucy’s Church on the Near Westside, not a speech-making affair, but an opportunity to speak to individuals, in that neighborhood, particularly about the need for federal support to help Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria, but also about women’s rights, job creation and a $15 minimum wage. She says she’s running for Congress because she loves Central New York, where the sense of community is more than anywhere she’s been. Katko is a member of the House of Representatives’ Problem Solving Caucus of 24 Democrats and 24 Republicans, working to reach across the aisle to break the gridlock in Congress. He is focusing a great deal of effort on the opioid epidemic. Katko and Balter answered questions submitted by members of the Syracuse New Times’ editorial board, including publisher Bill Brod, editor-in-chief Bill DeLapp and news reporters Walt Shepperd, Renée Gadoua and Kira Maddox.

If the trade wars break out, do we stand to lose?
John Katko: Since at least World War II we have put up with unfair trade balances, we’ve always had a huge trade deficit and we’ve let people steal our copyrights and engage in currency manipulation. So it is high time we try to do something about it. Now, sometimes you can take a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer, which I wish the president would do more of, but in the end we did get a better deal than NAFTA was for the United States. In this U.S. America Mexico Canada agreement, hopefully it will be ratified by Congress and we can move on. Another Big Kahuna out there is China. For decades China has been stealing our trade secrets and getting our products and reverse-engineering them and then selling them, and they also have a lot of protectionist barriers for us getting into their markets. So are we playing a dangerous game? I’m very concerned about it. So if it continues on for a long time, I think the trade wars will hurt us. If we come to a good resolution relatively quickly, I think the short-term pain will be far outweighed by long-term gain. We know that China and Turkey were dumping the steel rebar on our market at government-supported prices. So I testified before the International Trade Commission and we won the case. And why is it important for my district? Nucor steel (in Auburn). They’ve invested a lot more in their infrastructure and they’re hiring more and the business is absolutely booming because they have a level playing field.

Katko: I’ve heard again and again and again that small businesses, which comprise more than 90 percent of businesses in New York state, are crushed by over-regulation. So we had about 15 bills that clawed back regulations that were initiated within the last year of the Obama administration. From an environmental standpoint, we didn’t say “go ahead and destroy the environment,” we did say more common sense-like things about business and labor regulations and how we dealt with paperwork and oversight. We were getting regulated to death by the previous administration, and so we wanted to change that. What those regulations did was stunt our ability to compete on the world stage. One small example that’s local here is Interstate 81. The regulatory burdens of just trying to just figure out what the new highway design is going to look like has been almost a decade-long process. And next year the draft environmental impact statement is going to come with three different versions and we hope finally we’re going to pick one. It’s crazy. Balter: I think we tend to look at “regulations” as a dirty word in government, and I think that’s unfortunate. Government regulation is really important to not only the regular functioning of our daily lives, but to safety and security. What we don’t want to do is over-regulate, right? We don’t want to hamstring people and businesses; we need them to be able to thrive. We have to balance the safety and well-being of the public against the needs of companies and their ability to be flexible and responsive to the market. One thing I was very upset to see this year was the rollback of Dodd-Frank regulations. I was very upset with members of my own party for supporting that. It is likely to send us down the path back to recession, which is the last thing that we need as the economy is picking up steam. I think we need to be really thoughtful and careful about how we choose to regulate and deregulate.
What would it take for the government to seriously engage the issue of poverty?
Katko: I saw poverty firsthand when I was a federal organized crime prosecutor for my last 15 or 16 years in Syracuse. When I walked up the back steps of a house in Syracuse and opened the door to talk to a witness, the amount of extreme poverty that I saw was jarring, and it’s mind-blowing what I saw little kids being involved with. I saw no support at home, kids
are going to bed hungry, there’s nobody there to help with their homework. They were left on the streets because of their mom, usually a teenage mom, is not capable of taking care of herself, let alone a child. So he’s on the streets by 10 or 12, slinging dope for the gangs, and by eighth and ninth grade he’s fallen so far behind that he just waits until the magic age where he can drop out of school. And so what do we do about it? I’m a very strong supporter of early intervention with childhood poverty. We plussedup Early Head Start and a lot of school feeding programs, we plussed-up spending for Meals on Wheels; I’m a very big believer on Meals on Wheels because poverty isn’t just for kids, it’s for everybody. From a housing standpoint I fought to protect federal funding for affordable public housing and fought against the proposal to eliminate the community development block grant programs. Can we do more? Yeah, but I also think a key component of that is the tax cuts. Because right now if you’re a family of four making $50,000 a year, the chances of you paying federal taxes any more are pretty slim, if not none. And it gives you another ability to help get these people up out of poverty. Balter: We’re the 13th poorest city in the country, and beyond that dubious distinction, the highest concentration of poverty among black and Latino households in the entire country. That is not the kind of title that we want to hold. If we’re going to really tackle the issue of poverty, we have to address it from many different avenues, because it is not a simple problem. When you’re talking about a community like the city of Syracuse, you’re also talking about generational poverty, and it is an entrenched circumstance that results from a whole series of systemic issues that are in place. I support having our minimum wage be a living wage, to raise it to $15 an hour, indexed to inflation. Right now far too many people work full time and are still living in poverty. Once we have those good jobs, we need to make sure that there’s transportation available for people to get to and from those jobs. This is one of the challenges we have in our region. We have to deal with an education problem. As we see growth in high-tech economy jobs, infrastructure jobs and green technology jobs, skilled trades are
going to become increasingly important. We need to focus some of our educational investments on vocational and technical training, on good post-secondary options for people who don’t want to go to college. We need to address the crisis of affordable housing. And we’ve got to make sure that every kid in our community has access to high-quality education, because that’s their best chance at economic success later in life.
What’s the best way to approach the immigration situation?
Katko: I was at the forefront of perhaps my most disappointing experience in Congress. Myself and about 12 other Republicans got together over a fiveweek period concerning immigration reform. I’m the head of the moderate wing of the Republican Party and very proud of it; there’s 51 of us and I’ve represented their interests, and so the biggest issue for a lot of the conservative Republicans was border security. Of course Trump’s always saying “Build a wall, build a wall,” so we have to have a more secure system, right? So we said, “You want $25 billion for the wall? You’re not gonna get a wall across the whole country, but we’re going to give you barriers and increase barriers where we need them, like California, which is screamin’ for a barrier with Tijuana.” We’re going to appropriate $5 billion a year over five years for electronic sensors, plussing-up security on the border, plussing-up judges to handle the cases and revamping the asylum claims. So what about the Democrats’ biggest concern if you want this to be bipartisan? DACA kids, right? And so we said, “OK, all 1.8 million DACA kids would immediately have status.” And when the spending was done for the border within five years, they would start their path to citizenship. So here’s what happened. The last week that the conservative wing of the party and two individuals in particular who are on Fox News every night praising the president started chirping in his ear. So the president gets very mixed messages that last week; it wasn’t until Thursday night or Friday morning when he finally realized, “Oh my God, this is a great bill. It gives us everything we want and takes care of the DACA situation,” so he came out to give a full-throated endorsement of it.

But it was too late: Only about 125 of the 245 members of the Republican Party voted for it. But the thing that disturbs me most of all is that not a single Democrat voted for it. So it’s very, very frustrating that politics got in the way. I think if the president got behind it earlier and we worked better with the other side and then they put down the politics instead of just oppose everything that the president is doing, I think we would have had immigration done. Balter: There is no reason that we can’t have an immigration system that both protects our security and works for our economy, and at the same time treats people humanely. Our immigration system is pretty much broken all over the place, top to bottom, and we need a lot of changes to get it working better. We see huge challenges here in our district with the visa system because of our agricultural communities. I hear from farmers all the time who really struggle with trying to find enough employees for their farms. The seasonal visa system doesn’t work for dairy farms that aren’t seasonal farms. And the system doesn’t allow them to find full-time, year-round employment to support their families.
In order to figure out what the best approaches are or how to make those fixes, it’s really important to make sure the people at the table in the discussion include the people who are using the visa system. It doesn’t make any sense that you can go talk to any farmer and they can explain to you exactly what the problem is, and yet somehow the federal government hasn’t figured out how to fix it.
The U.S. Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh left a lot of people on both sides feeling more bitter and entrenched in their views. What can you do in Congress to help the country get past this?
Katko: There were no winners in the Kavanaugh hearing. Both sides lost and both sides lost terribly. For women that are sexually assaulted, who in their right mind is going to come forward? Which is terrible; I’ve worked a lot with Vera House on this issue and talked about it. On the other hand, who would want to go into government leadership? We don’t know what happened, I believe they both believe what they were saying, and the NEXT PAGE

Continued from page 17 truth may lie somewhere in between. And look what’s happened in their lives: Kavanaugh’s name has been destroyed, his kids are threatened and need bodyguards and so does she (Christine Blasey Ford). So I’ve got to continue to do what I’ve been doing, which is very, very difficult in this environment, and that is to lead by example. I said before I went into Congress that it has to be bipartisan, that I don’t even submit a bill in the Senate without a Democrat’s name on it. Because of that, I’ve been very successful, oddly enough, with bipartisanship. I’ve had 33 bills passed the House in less than four years and 20 signed into law: 10 by Obama and 10 by Trump. Balter: I think the sort of hyper-partisan and rancorous environment that we have now is the result of a decade or more of moving in this direction. I don’t think the Kavanaugh confirmation process caused it, I think it is a symptom of it. As a member of Congress, my focus would be twofold: one, working in Congress with colleagues. I think the way we need to move forward together is by beginning our conversations on the issues from a point of agreement, finding the places where we agree and building from there. When we agree with each other, even
if it’s on a small item, when we agree with each other, it allows us to build some trust and respect, and that has to be the foundation of our work, otherwise we’re not going to get anywhere. We need to make progress in Congress, and we also need to do that to model that kind of behavior for everybody else. The second side of it is what I would do here in the district and how I would interact with constituents. I think the only way to come out of this hyper-partisan and toxic environment that we have now is to renew our ability to engage in civil discourse. We don’t listen to each other anymore. That’s why I am really committed to things like open town hall meetings. My hope is that the people who show up to that room are not all people that support me, they’re not all people that agree with me. If you have conflict constructively, if you disagree respectfully, you actually end up making better decisions.
On your Hoffman hot dog, do you prefer mustard or ketchup? Katko: Spicy mustard, definitely, not yellow. And with chocolate milk! Balter: I’m probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but I’m an “all” on the hot dog. I like mustard,

ketchup, relish, onions, the whole thing. If it’s going to be only one topping, it’s got to be sauerkraut.
Do you have any favorite movies dealing with politics? Katko: I don’t have a favorite politics movie in mind. In my previous life my job was so serious and I saw so much death and destruction, so I like comedies because I like to laugh. My favorite movies include Dumb and Dumber; I love Jim Carrey and I can recite every line. I also love Stripes, Animal House and Caddyshack. Balter: The first political movie I ever saw was Mr Smith Goes to Washington, and I am forever the optimist and idealist, so that one just goes right to the heart of me. If I can expand the genre. The West Wing is my favorite television show of all time. What it embodies for me is sort of the best of what I think government can be. Regardless of your political affiliation, or your perspective on the issues, at its heart it was about a group of passionate, intelligent, dedicated people who devoted every ounce of themselves to working for the betterment of their country. It gives me goosebumps, it makes me cry, it makes me stand up and cheer, it is sort of the embodiment of everything that I believe public service is. SNT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19) In her poem “Shed-
ding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin—old rough thing I don’t need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff. And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “Only the young
and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher; love explorer; intimacy experimenter.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “My way of learn-
ing is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey-wrench. That will be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person; computer techie; machine whisperer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The great Swed-
ish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Throughout the Hal-
loween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture and décor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “Extraordinary
things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and
this is neither. This season is about becoming.” Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her perspective as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg; strong sprout cracking out of a seed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “He believed in
magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.” Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “If adven-
tures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.” And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world. Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) PR executives
at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not, in fact, be lounging around in a haze of intoxication. You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very Important People will be more available to you than usual, and you’ll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser; Networker of the Year; Chief Hobnobber.
1400 N. Salina St, Syracuse | LookersShowClub.net | 315-937-5199 | 18+
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “What kind of
idea are you?” asks author Salmon Rushdie. “Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you’re the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion—you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary; crusader; agitator; rabble-rouser.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “There is no beau-
ty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allan Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.” I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and re-commit yourself to embodying it. Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.
