Future of Travel

Australian aviator David Mayman has promised investors that his personal jet packs will hit the market by mid-2017, although early adopters will pay about $250,000 for one, to fly a person at up to 60 mph for 10 minutes. The JB-10, developed by Mayman and designer Nelson Tyler, has made about 400 test runs in Monaco and over downtown London and New York City. But the partners realize that ultimate success will require that the fuel tanks be downsized so that the craft can be powered electrically — and thus seek crowdfunding both for that model and a larger one to accommodate the Pentagon’s Special Operations Command tactical needs.

which has disrupted food supplies and driven birds into different locations.

Home Sweet Home

Hippie grandmother Shawnee Chasser, 65, who has lived in a tree since 1992, is under siege by county officials in Miami who plan to tear down her tree house by December unless she brings her property up to code. It’s a full-featured, well-appointed tree house, and she owns the land underneath, but prefers the “heaven” of her high perch, especially when it rains.

Six times since 2004, cars have left New Hope Road in Raleigh, N.C., and crashed into the home of Carlo Bernarte, and in September he desperately sought help from traffic officials — and indicated that it might be time to move. He suggested the state install a barrier, but apparently that would block drivers’ line of sight.

Wild Life

The state agency Colorado Parks and Wildlife filed 21 criminal charges in October against the Squirrel Creek Wildlife Rescue center in Littleton, alleging that some of the orphaned and rehabbing animals Kendall Seifert houses are not being kept according to the state’s strict standards — and that Seifert’s 15-year-old center is also home to Scarlet Ranch, his popular swingers’ club featuring weekend sex parties. One of the criminal charges suggests that rescue animals could be stressed by gazing at activity in the ranch’s bar area. Seifert said he will challenge the charges out of fear that many of the raccoons, foxes, songbirds, coyotes, skunks, rabbits and squirrels he would have to relinquish would not find suitable facilities elsewhere.

Slap Shots

Extreme Hobbies

John Weigel and Olaf Danielson are engaged in a frenzied battle of “extreme birdwatching,” each hoping to close out 2016 as the new North American champ of the American Birding Association, and a September Smithsonian piece had

Weigel ahead, 763 to 759. Danielson is perhaps better known for doing much of his birding in the nude: He is the author of the provocatively titled volume, Boobies, Peckers and Tits — all common names of popular birds. The old one-year record was 749, and the association attributes the larger numbers this year to El Nino,

In St. Paul, Minn., a 25-year-old woman told police on Nov. 3 that she was involuntarily roughed up several hours after being voluntarily roughed up at Arnellia’s Bar’s weekly “Smack Fest,” in which female patrons competitively slap each other’s faces for three “rounds” under strict house rules. The woman said she spoke amicably with her opponent, but by closing time, the opponent and several friends, including men, punched and kicked her outside the bar.

In other slapping news, a 71-year-old woman died in Lewes, England, in November while participating in a Chinese NEXT PAGE

Continued from page 3 healing seminar that emphasizes being slapped repeatedly to rid the body of poisoned blood and toxins. The “healer,” Hongshi Xiao, charges clients around $900 to beat what he calls the “sha” out of them.

Irony Defined

In November, in a remote area of Oregon’s Maury Mountains, a 69-year-old man killed an elk and dragged the carcass behind his off-road vehicle up a hill.

According to the Crook County Sheriff’s office, the vehicle suddenly flipped over backward, and the man landed on, and was impaled by, the elk’s antlers. Fellow hunters summoned a helicopter, and the man has apparently survived.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

IT’S COMING. The local event ticketing platform you’ve been waiting for. cnytix.com Got tickets to sell?

In a retail market long dominated by priests, “nonsectarian” funeral eulogizers now offer to give individually tailored remembrances of the deceased for a fee, according to an October report by a New York Post reporter who interviewed two local “celebrants,” who cited the declining appeal of “prayers.”

The British retailer ASOS announced in August that 3-foot-long clip-on dinosaur tails had sold out in one of its two models, although New York magazine, which

reported it in the United States, was, for obvious reasons, baffled about why.

The Way the World Works

Brittany Maynard, then 29, became “the face of the Right to Die movement” in 2014, according to a New York Post column, when she chose a legal physician-assisted suicide rather than awaiting the growth of her terminal brain tumor. In October, terminally ill California mother Stephanie Packer hoped to be “the face of the Right to Live movement” after revealing that her insurance company denied coverage for a drug that could extend her life — but at the same time disclosed that her suicide drugs are covered, and even disclosed her co-pay ($1.20).

Medical Marvels

Margaret Boemer’s baby LynLee was “born” twice. In an October Texas Children’s Hospital interview, doctors described how the need to rid Boemer’s fetus of a rapidly growing tumor required them, at Boemer’s 23rd week of pregnancy, to remove the fetus completely from the uterus until it was “hanging out in the air” so that they could cut away the tumor and then reposition the fetus in the uterus.

LynLee was “born” again by C-section 13 weeks later.

Suspicions Confirmed

San Francisco State University researchers revealed in April that no fungi or fecal bacteria were found on the seats of the city’s bus line or rapid transit trains, unlike their findings in 2011 before officials adopted easier-to-clean seats. But a “rare” and “unusual” strain, called Pigmentiphaga, was found; it was previously associated only with South Korean wastewater and the South China Sea. The city’s Department of Health said not to worry.

Perspective

A high-level policy document released by the Chinese government in September detailed plans to use technology to monitor citizen behavior to such a degree that each person would receive a “social credit” score, similar to a FICO score in the United States but covering a range of conduct beyond financial, that would be the basis for allotting perks such as government support in starting businesses and whether parents’ children are eligible for the best schools. “Keeping trust is glorious,” according to the document, and “good” behavior promotes a “harmonious socialist society.”

Arkansas Chic

Kristi Goss, 43, an assistant to a Garland County, Ark., judge, was arrested in October and charged with stealing nearly $200,000 in public funds, which she used to buy such things as a tuxedo for her dog, sequined throw pillows, a “diamond bracelet” (retailing for $128) and Arkansas Razorback football tickets.

Motorist Kurt Jenkins, 56, was arrested in November in Boynton Beach, Fla., after a pedestrian said Jenkins, naked,

motioned him to his car to take a look.

The pedestrian said there were children in the area, and also that Jenkins appeared to have wires running from his genitals to an unidentified “electrical device.”

Among a stash of pornography found recently on the computer of Michael Ward, 70, were photos of humans having some sort of sex with “horses, dogs, an octopus and an eel,” according to a report of England’s Chelmsford Crown Court proceedings. A pre-sentencing order forbade Ward to have contact with children under 16.

The Passing Parade

“Bugs Bunny” and “Pink Panther” were on trial in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, on aggravated-assault charges from a Halloween 2015 bar fight in which “Dracula’s” ear was severely slashed with a broken bottle. “There was a lot of blood,” said a witness. At press time, the judge cleared Bugs, but was still deliberating on Panther.

The tardigrade is an ugly micro-organism that is perhaps the sturdiest animal on Earth, able to endure otherwise-impossible living conditions and — thanks to gene-sequencing — known to be composed of DNA not seen elsewhere. A Japanese company recently began selling an oversized tardigrade toy “plushie” authenticated by science’s leading tardigrade authority, Professor Kazuharu Arakawa of Keio University.

The War on Drugs

In September, police in Thurmont, Md., announced the culmination of a twomonth-long undercover drug operation at the Burger King with two arrests and a total seizure of 5 grams of marijuana and two morphine pills.

Police Blotter

On Sept. 21, as part of a six-target raid using “military-type” helicopters by the Massachusetts State Police and the National Guard, drug warriors halted the criminal enterprise of Margaret Holcomb, 81, of Amherst, seizing the one and only marijuana plant in her yard that she had planned to harvest soon for relief of her arthritis and glaucoma.

On the way to the police station in Youngstown, Ohio, on Oct. 19, after being arrested for, among other things, being a felon in possession of a gun, Raymond Brooks, 25, asked an officer — apparently in all seriousness — whether, after he got booked at the station, he could have his gun back. The police report did not specify whether the officer said yes or no.

Couldn’t Stop Myself

Bright Ideas

Joshua Hunt, 31, was arrested in October inside St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Okla., where he had gone to check on his 9-month-old son, who was being treated for an injury. Police said that while in the ward, he snatched another visitor’s purse and took a cellphone and credit cards.

Brittany Carulli, 25, was arrested in Harrison Township, N.J., in October, charged with stealing a medic’s wallet from inside an ambulance. The medic had allowed Carulli in the ambulance to grieve over her boyfriend’s body after he was struck and killed by a car.

Food Fight

Business is booming for Lainey Morse, the owner of No Regrets Farm in Albany, Ore., and the founder of “Goat Yoga,” an outdoor regimen of relaxation carried out among her wandering goats. “Do you know how hard it is to be sad and depressed when there are baby goats jumping around?” she asked, proudly noting that she is booked up right now, with a waiting list of 500. One problem has surfaced, as she told a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reporter: Naive baby goats try to eat flower designs on yoga mats, leading Morse to permit only mats of solid colors.

Jeffrey Osella, 50, was arrested in August in Westerly, R.I., after allegedly firing corncobs at his neighbor’s house, using a PVC “potato gun,” as part of their long-running feud. When Osella answered the door, officers said he was shirtless, with corn kernels stuck to his chest.

Solitary Man

On Oct. 1, Michael Daum, 55, began his year in residence as the town hermit of Solothurn, Switzerland, having been chosen from among 22 self-entertaining applicants. The hermit will be required to maintain the town’s isolated hermitage, but also, paradoxically, be called on at times to engage with arriving tourists.

Simple As That

British farmer Pip Simpson, who lost nearly 300 sheep to rustlers in recent years, recently sprayed his remaining herd of almost 800 sheep a bright luminous orange to make them less attractive to thieves.

Saudi Arabia switched to the 365-day Gregorian calendar on Oct. 2, in part to reduce government expenses. Bureaucrats had been using the Islamic lunar Hijri (354-day) calendar, but now must work a 3 percent longer year for the same salaries.

KRAMER

By Jeff Kramer

YOU’VE GOT MAIL

D

ear Close Friend and/or cherished Family Member,

I realize it’s a bit early for a holiday letter, what with the Thanksgiving china barely cleared from our immaculate table! But now that the whole country has entered a Golden Age of Bullshit when everyone, led by the president-elect, can ingest fake news and cite their own make-believe facts, I’m extra-eager to share the amazing good fortune that has come our way in 2016.

May I start by bragging about the Syracuse University football team? Just this past weekend, the Orange capped an undefeated season with a 76-6 pasting of Pittsburgh. We’re all looking ahead to beating up on overrated Alabama in the college football playoffs, and yes, we Kramers will all have 50-yard-line seats for that one, wherever it’s played. It’s so easy to fly anywhere in the world from Syracuse!

On a more substantive note, what was first believed to be a small sewage spill in Onondaga Lake last month turned out to be a helpful release of bacteria-eating algae. The result is a lake that is so sparkly clean that the water is being used to brew a popular new beer, Captain Chunky, a rich and aromatic brown trout — I mean stout A.B.V. 44%. More good news: The cleaned-up lake is now the backdrop for a desperately needed amphitheater dedicated to giving aging musicians a renewed sense of purpose. Get

your tickets for The Lovin’ Spoonful now!

Meanwhile, Central New York continued to turn itself into a mecca of nanotechnology as 10 key players in the public-private partnership received citations of merit from Preet Bharara, head of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy. The recognition validated the selection of COR Development Co., which survived a rigorous competitive bidding process to win the right to develop local nano projects.

In typical self-effacing fashion, New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo denied any connection to the retooling of the regional economy. Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney has been quiet, too. Come on, guys, take a bow. You deserve it!

On a personal level, we Kramers enjoyed perhaps our most delightful year on record. Both girls, Miranda, 16, and Lily, 13, signed a non-aggression pact, pledging to support each other for the remainder of their lives. As a further sign of their growing maturity, they’ve started keeping their rooms — and their shared bathroom — spotless.

Mornings are best. The girls are so bubbling over with energy and enthusiasm for the coming school day that they can scarcely wolf down the lobster Benedict or free-range pheasant hash that Leigh and I whip up for them for breakfast. There’s a lot of singing at the breakfast table.

Busy as she is keeping our home beautiful, Leigh continued to serve as president of the Helping

Hounds dog rescue, and she restarted yoga after a long hiatus. Not surprising to anyone who knows her, she proved more skillful at yoga than she had been previously and just last week mastered the fifth series of Ashtanga postures, almost unheard of in the Western world. She can often be found in a handless headstand helping the kids with their homework.

As for me, I continued my love affair with cycling, even going so far as to have a Garmin bike computer surgically implanted in my chest. At least that’s what they told me it was. Oh, and did I mention I finished another play? It’s called The Golden Bitch. Look for it in the spring at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins. There may be a trial run in Cazenovia in April, but good luck getting tickets for that.

What else? Oh, the dogs. How could I forget those adorable souls? Larry, our large mixed-breed guy, did remarkably well in the Westminster Kennel Club’s All-American Dogs (mutts) agility competition. He finished second and almost certainly would have won if he hadn’t been carrying a dead porcupine in his jaws and bleeding from hundreds of quill punctures. Even more impressive, Larry did not steal any baked goods from our kitchen counter this year, not once. Never.

Similarly, Rondo, our Chihuahua mix, has completely stopped his annoying habit of using a stool to hop onto the kitchen island to forage for scraps. Gigi, our other Chihuahua, has become a favorite of delivery truck drivers and other visitors to our home. The UPS guy calls her Madam Ambassador.

OK, that should do it. We wish you a joyous holiday season. That last sentence is for real.

Jeff

SHOP ’TIL YOU DROP WITH ARTISTIC GIFTS

uring the holiday season, many local consumers will buy mass-produced items such as electronics or toys. However, that type of commerce isn’t the only game in town. There’s a shopping circuit featuring pottery, paintings, textiles and other pieces made by artists or artisans.

In Armory Square, at 210 Walton St., the Eureka Company, formerly known as Eureka Crafts, displays a range of works created locally and across the country.

Pieces by local artists include Tom Hourican’s wood works, ceramics by Ann Pilcher Bliss, and David MacDonald’s distinctive vessels.

Eureka has experienced more than a name change. Tom Cunningham, one of its founders in 1983, is now collaborating with his grandchildren, Fiona Cipiti and Liam Cunningham. She returned to Syracuse during June to work at Eureka; he attends college in Boston and helps out at the shop during school breaks. Both are learning operations to prepare for a day when they will run Eureka.

In addition, the shop’s layout has been altered. The new arrangement includes pieces on a table seemingly set up for dinner, objects on a crate retrieved from a wood-working studio, and a sofa where customers can enjoy free coffee.

Cipiti said those changes are neither a make-over nor a face lift, just a way of updating Eureka and preparing for its future. They build on a legacy begun by the shop’s founders: Tom Cunningham, Tina Parker, Bill McDowell and Ginger Dunlap-Dietz. And Cipiti says any renovation ties into the shop’s mission: connecting people to one-of-a-kind pieces.

“We want this to be a comfortable environment,” she said. “A place where people can enjoy the work, view something beautiful, perhaps have a conversation about it.”

She and Cunningham are discussing

8

other possibilities, with one being members of Eureka’s staff offering instruction in various media. “Tom and I make decisions together,” Cipiti said. “I’ll pitch an idea, and we’ll discuss it.”

Art Mart, a yuletide venue in its 62th season, has also made a significant change. It’s moved from City Hall Commons to 499 S. Warren St., across the street from the Galleries of Syracuse.

Its structure is the same: a cooperative venture in which artists work shifts and share the cost of renting a space.

Having 48 artists under one roof results in a mix of media: Judy Hand’s watercolors, Greg Trombley’s pastels, ceramic

11.30.16 - 12.6.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

jewelry and ornaments by Judy Lieblen, ceramics by Dave Lisa and Sharon Schuchardt-Patsos. Art Mart encompasses both landscapes and Vanessa Johnson’s textile, fiber and mixed-media works. Her influences include traditional African art forms and quilting in African American communities.

Art Mart is open Mondays through Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. It closes Dec. 24.

Across town, the Plowshares Crafts Fair and Peace Festival, which takes place this weekend at Nottingham High School, 3100 E. Genesee St., has several com-

ponents. First, it displays works by more than 100 people, incorporating Christy Lemp’s watercolors, fiber collages by Sharon Souva Bottle, Kathy Barry’s hats and Stephen Brucker’s glass works.

Moreover, the festival provides tables for groups concerned with the environment, peace and social justice issues. And there’s acoustic music as well as food made by the Mission Restaurant staff.

Plowshares raises funds for the Syracuse Peace Council, charging a sliding-scale admission of $2 to $5. The festival runs Saturday, Dec. 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 4, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Another upcoming event, the sixth annual Fair Trade Sale, presents goods made by Mayan cooperatives in Guatemala and Mexico and artisans in West Africa, including textiles, baskets, handbags, scarves and other items. Four vendors will set up at the ArtRage Gallery, 505 Hawley Ave., on Friday, Dec. 9, 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 10, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission and Fair Trade coffee are free.

Finally, the CNY Artists Gallery, in Shoppingtown Mall, sells an array of prints, jewelry, paintings and more. The gallery has an ongoing relationship with illustrator Richard Williams; Brian Butler, creator of pen-and-ink fantasy pieces; Ron Warford, who does exquisite drawings; and Kamiiron Pritchard, who does portraits, paintings depicting historical scenes, and other work. CNY Artists also sells pieces from an estate sale and books distributed by a regional publisher.

Gallery owner Peter Svoboda says he’s adapting to life in a customer-challenged mall where most of the anchor tenants have left. To draw more people to the site, CNY Artists is offering painting classes taught by Pritchard. The gallery’s December hours are Mondays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 391-5115. SNT

Peace Calendar Now On Sale

Book now available from

www.logcabinbooks.com

The holiday season is prime time not only for local festivals but also for groups like the Syracuse Cultural Workers. They research, design and distribute the Peace Calendar, which is sold at independent bookstores, food co-ops and other venues across the United States.

In creating the calendar’s 2017 edition, SCW focused on several themes including climate change. Indeed, the calendar’s cover showcases an image of the People’s Climate March, which took place Sept. 21, 2014, in New York City. A second photo, accompanying dates for August 2017, depicts a demonstration in the harbor at Seattle, Wash., where dozens of activists on kayaks protested against oil drilling in the Arctic region.

Another illustration touches on immigration, as seen in a piece blending bright colors and the words “No Human Being Is Illegal.” Regarding the theme of public education, the artwork for September combines a photo of high school students demonstrating and a quote from Diane Ravitch, a prominent critic of privatizing schools and high-stakes testing.

Elsewhere, “Creation of the World,” an acrylic mural, embraces aboriginal culture as interpreted by Potawatomi artist Daphne Odjig. And “The Fight for $15,” artwork for June, references the movement for an increase in the minimum wage.

SCW will be selling the Peace Calendar, now in its 45th year, and other items during this weekend’s Plowshares Crafts Fair and Peace Festival at Nottingham High School, 3100 E. Genesee St., and at SCW’s 400 Lodi St. storefront.

During the holidays the shop is open Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. syracusenewtimes.com | 11.30.16 - 12.6.16

Grinds To A Halt

The budding downtown arts venue falls victim to codes issues

By Christopher Malone

The Vault owner Justin Pellingra. Michael Davis photo

n late October, The Vault, an art and entertainment space located at 451 S. Warren St., closed its doors after being slapped with a stop-work order from the city of Syracuse. Since there isn’t a clearly defined emergency exit, the space is, by law, unable to hold events that would exceed a 45-person limit. With the approval of an appropriate exit strategy, however, Vault owner Justin Pellingra could fit a cozy capacity of 260.

At the start of 2016, Pellingra envisioned The Vault, which is housed in the former M&T Bank building’s bottom floor, as more than just an art gallery. The South Side native, who spent almost a decade living in San Francisco and Portland, Ore., after graduation from Syracuse University, sought to promote the Salt City as a center for art and film.

Before the closure, The Vault listed more than 30 upcoming events, which included stand-alone concerts and music festivals; a number of shows were relocated to other venues, in what Pellingra whimsically referred to as “The Vault Tour.” He has also brought in musicians from around the globe, including one music maker from France, and he has enticed artists from around the country to pay a visit.

The building, owned by attorney Thomas Cerio, currently contains residences, and the architectural and design company Open Atelier Architects. Anthony Catsimatides moved his architecture firm from Cazenovia to the building in 2009; he also acts as The Vault’s superintendent.

Pellingra stated he’s kept in close contact with both Catsimatides and Cerio, and said Cerio is especially busy. According to Pellingra, The Vault had to close its doors before the lawyer

11.30.16 - 12.6.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

could respond to his tenant regarding the easement paperwork.

Cerio did not reply to Syracuse New Times requests for comment.

To enter The Vault, there are two front doors. The back door, which leads to a narrow walkway between the building and a parking lot, cannot be a legal emergency exit without an easement.

“I see it as an emergency exit,” said Pellingra. “As I spoke to (the city of Syracuse) Codes (Department), it seemed to be a challenge. If there was a fire, people would go out that door. The path, a 20- to 30-foot stretch, is Cerio’s property. It runs along a parking lot that he owns. Since it’s his property, he can eventually build.”

Pellingra continued, “Cerio’s a really nice guy and totally supportive of what we do. He doesn’t have a problem with it being an emergency exit, but he doesn’t want it to be a regular exit, where anyone in here can walk out and onto his property. I completely understand. I don’t need it to be a regular, free-flowing door.”

Cerio is a developer who seeks to refurbish downtown Syracuse. In 2013, he purchased the Mitzpah Tower for $30,000,

according to a syracuse.com article, with plans to turn the former First Baptist Church into commercial space and apartments. The cost of this renovation project sits around $25 million.

“He doesn’t want to sign an easement.

As I see it, and I’m not an expert on easements, they are something that can be cited for all of eternity,” said Pellingra.

“Let’s say I could find an easement from 1850. I could cite that as to why this could be an exit now. It’s a forever joining bridge between properties. I may stand wrong on that, but it’s the way I’ve understood it as it has been explained to me.”

Ken Townsley, of the city of Syracuse’s Codes Department, concurred, “An easement does stay with the property. An egress is dependent on the occupancy.

New York state has 13 of them, whether the venue is a movie theater, department store, etc.”

Since the bank’s closing, several groups have taken advantage of the empty room.

It was home for the Syracuse One-Take Super 8 Film Festival, as well as the original home base for the Syracuse Improv

Collective, which refers to its monthly events as “bank shows.” (Full disclosure: This reporter is a member of Syracuse Improv Collective.)

Pellingra wanted the space to be a hub for all local artists. Aside from music and art, he has also hosted fashion shows, pop-up sidewalk sales and video game tournaments.

Unfortunately, the entrepreneur said, this impasse is something he saw coming over the last several months. “It’s been a process for me to learn how to do business in Syracuse. I’ve been learning along the way.”

Townsley explained, “People can’t just go into a building and open up shop. Once that happens without our permission, we have to stop it.”

Pellingra admitted he did things out of order. “I originally invited the fire department and codes down here to do their inspections. They came down and didn’t see any problems. They gave me some advice, but also told me I contacted them too soon.”

Because Pellingra did not submit the

application for occupancy, he could not obtain the required entertainment license.

In order for his occupancy approval, drawings of the venue would have to be submitted, which would include a distinct emergency exit. In order to have that emergency exit, however, the easement would have to be signed by building owner Cerio.

The section of South Warren Street is rapidly developing. Since the reopening of the renamed historic Marriott Syracuse Downtown, which has 270 rooms, the area is seeing even more foot traffic.

Down the street, the Icon Tower will be opening 89 apartments.

“There is such a growth of living downtown,” Pellingra said. “We also have to expand the dining and entertainment sectors.” He gave credit to Funk ’N Waffles, Otro Cinco, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Al’s Wine & Whiskey Lounge for their diversity of entertainment offerings. “These are essential. There has to be more.”

The Vault sits directly across from the entrance to the Galleries of Syracuse. The

seasonal Art Mart is next door. A block away, the Syracuse Tech Garden and AXA Towers are beacons for a variety of businesses. Nearby, the Changing Room clothing store opened its doors and Voltage Video Games relocated. Down one block is the thrift and clothing boutique Vintage Love. Entrepreneur-occupied Syracuse CoWorks sits above that.

Pellingra employed the word “accessibility” to describe what people want to see and experience. “If you’re going to pay higher rent to live down here, you’re going to want to have things to do,” he said. “Patrons will go to local restaurants to get food. It’s all part of the economic development and revitalization of downtown.”

Despite The Vault’s setbacks, Pellingra said he still loves how the city of Syracuse welcomes and encourages small, independent businesses. SNT

CONNECTIVE CORRIDOR LINKS WITH LOCAL ARTISTS AND ENTREPRENEURS

It’s 8:45 a.m. when Shonnan Usman, a 21-year-old rising senior at Syracuse University, clips his blue Columbian across his chest and walks his bike down the driveway.

On his way to the university, Usman detours to the Crowne Plaza Hotel to his favorite scenic spot at Forman Park, then pedals faster up the hill on East Genesee Street, his eyes following the green bike lane up to University Avenue. From there, he settles near the Hall of Languages, where his day of business begins.

This path Usman takes every morning to SU was created 11 years ago. The Connective Corridor began as a mere illumination project to create friendly pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths, running from University Hill to downtown Syracuse. Over the years, the Connective Corridor team expanded their mission to beautifying the two-mile route; this included new facades, public art, drain systems and more.

The Connective Corridor team is at the end of their infrastructure funding and is now focusing on infusing their improvements with university talent and entrepreneurs. Their impact on the downtown area has opened new artistic and business opportunities for residents.

An example of new opportunity is the 40 Below Public Arts Task Force, an arts initiative group that works to keep art alive within Syracuse culture. Led by cochairs Ryan Wood and Miranda Traudt, both affiliates are working with the Connective Corridor to help fund artistic opportunities for the people of Syracuse.

Their recent project, “Reimagine Place,” was a contest for local artists to submit architectural designs to be evaluated and possibly win $80,000 in funding to construct their design with local firms. 40 Below collaborated with the American Institute of Architects in CNY, or AIA, to bring in architecture experts to evaluate the designs, as well as the Downtown Committee of Syracuse and SU’s Office of Community Engagement and Economic Development.

The Connective Corridor was the vision

of former SU chancellor Nancy Cantor, who wanted to promote civic engagement between the university and downtown communities. Before the “Reimagine Place” project, the Connective Corridor team worked with young aspiring entrepreneurs who wanted to start up their own business.

Linda Dickerson-Hartsock, former director of the Connective Corridor, is one of the team members who now invests in young entrepreneurs and their start-ups.

“We built streets,” she said, “and now we want to build bridges.”

Earlier this year, she became the executive director of Blackstone Launchpad at SU, an international, charitable foundation that provides entrepreneurial resources for people who plan to start a business. Dickerson-Hartsock and a team of financial experts work with small businesses and guide aspiring entrepreneurs through ideation, launch and expansion phases.

Blackstone holds financial forums throughout the year. During a July meeting, aspiring entrepreneurs worked on the art of business-pitching. Usman attended the finance forum to update his financial adviser about his project, “Far West Batik.”

Native to Indonesia, “batik” is the production process for dying textiles.

Usman’s parents immigrated to Syracuse in 1985 and brought many of their native textiles with them. When Usman wore ba-

11.30.16 - 12.6.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

tik clothing around campus, people asked where he got it, which prompted him to start a batik business in Syracuse.

“I wanted to bring batik to the Western market to show that colorful was beautiful,” Usman said.

Dickerson-Hartsock and the Connective Corridor team are also working to draw attention to Syracuse artists. The team’s call to commission national and international artists last year brought many artists to Syracuse, where they created public art pieces. Many of these installations are completed, such as the baby-blue serpent sculpture next to the Onondaga Creekwalk, created by local artist Brendan Rose; the Rack Pack bicycle stands used along sidewalks, fabricated by local artist Michael Giannattasio; and the “Summer Waits” and “Winter Longs” murals on the bridges above West and Fayette streets, painted by national artist Steve Powers.

The Connective Corridor team’s goal is to promote civic engagement through new art and small business. Quinton Fletchall, 25, SU alum and a member of the project, has a mission to continue providing opportunities to local artists who are not prominent in the art world.

Fletchall is another example of a successful young entrepreneur who received help from the Connective Corridor project. Working alongside Dickerson-Hartsock, Fletchall began his affiliation while an undergraduate work-study student.

He became an entrepreneur during his

graduate career, when he received advice from Dickerson-Hartsock to start his own design firm, Inquiry Design Consulting.

Fletchall’s firm has been working with local artists for the past two years and commonly networks with 40 Below. Originally from Iowa, Fletchall has created a strong network for himself in Syracuse and recently became director of public art for SU’s Office of Community Engagement and Economic Development.

“I like those who are interested in bettering their community,” Fletchall said.

The missions of these Syracuse organizations are similar: to invite community involvement into artistic and business initiatives. Whether Linda Dickerson-Hartsock is giving advice on a new cafe idea or Quinton Fletchall is helping design a mural in the Westcott neighborhood, there are resources for aspiring artists and entrepreneurs.

The Connective Corridor team has already enlivened the heart of Syracuse with new paintings, bike racks, signs and roads. It is now up to the community to inhabit these changes and use ideas to create something. “This is the beginning of a generational change,” Dickerson-Hartsock said. SNT

The Coachmen.

A HOLLY JOLLY COACHMEN CHRISTMAS

A

cavalcade of Salt City rockers convenes for a yuletide bash this weekend, which also serves as a fond farewell to a favorite music venue.

The History of Syracuse Rock’n’Roll Then and Now music series is the brainchild of Dinosaur Radio morning drive jock Nick Caplan and producer Ron Wray, as they conspired to reunite legendary Central New York rock bands from the 1960s and 1970s.

The concerts began in summer 2014 and now the 17th edition will take the stage Sunday, Dec, 4, 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Pensebene’s Casa Grande, 135 State Fair Blvd. Admission is $6.

Headlining the Christmas extravaganza will be The Coachmen, a seven-piece unit that started in 1968.

“We wore suits and ties at first,” recalls Hammond B-3 organist Michael Davis about his band’s wardrobe, “then added fringe during the psychedelic era.”

The rockers packed area clubs for several years, then took an extended hiatus of several decades.

Yet the January 2007 death of ace Coachmen guitarist Gary Zamory led several original members to recall the rockin’ good times during his wake, which spurred the seeds for the band’s 21st-century revival.

“We’re just focused on having fun,” Davis insisted

back in 2007, as the group will soon celebrate 10 years of making music again.

Aside from keyboardist Davis, who is also the Syracuse New Times photographer, other Coachmen include Joe Neri on bass guitar and vocals; guitarist Dickie Cappotto; John Saltamach on trumpet and vocals; Dave Frateshi on saxophone, flute and vocals; Rob Sherwood on trombone and vocals; and Roc Carbone on drums and vocals. Expect a seasonal chestnut with guest baritone Bob Brown as well as plenty of dance music — everything from Santana to Chicago — during The Coachmen’s set.

Flanking The Coachmen will be a performance by the internationally acclaimed dynamic duo of guitarists Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb. Then the evening climaxes with music from the History of Syracuse Rock’n’Roll All-Star Band, featuring bass guitarists Bill Weiss and Ted Storto; drummers Dave Hanlon and Ed McBarron; keyboardists Shane Storto and Steve Schad; and guitarists Dave Novak, Mike Ferrante, Don Shoudy and Mark Hoffmann.

Throughout the night, vocalist Sheila Tucker will perform a tune or two alongside each act.

The nomadic History of Syracuse Rock’n’Roll Then and Now concerts will have to find a new home following this weekend’s sonic summit, however.

Pensebene’s Casa Grande is closing at the end of the year when its food and liquor licenses run out.

Soon-to-retire owner Terry Pensebene has managed the banquet facility, which holds up to 299 people, for 10 years.

In 1992 the Knights of Columbus built the sturdy venue, which has hosted everything from wedding receptions to performances presented by the Jazz Appreciation Society of Syracuse. Housing for the mentally challenged is slated to be constructed at the State Fair Boulevard location.

Prior to his Casa Grande stint, Pensebene notched 42 years at the former Park West, corner of Milton Avenue and Onondaga Road, where he specialized in Italian-American cuisine. That Camillus location is now home to CopperTop Tavern.

During one of the weekly lunchtime meetings presided by Caplan and Wray, Pensebene took a moment to reflect on his career. “I have more memories of the other place,” he noted, then pointed to the Caplan bunch in noshing mode, “but those guys made it a lot of fun over here, too.” SNT

ov. Mario Cuomo’s first time around the New York State Fair’s opening day tour had become a foot race halfway through. The pool of reporters, including myself and WSYR-Channel 9’s Carrie Lazarus, was too focused on watching where we were stepping to engage the governor with the questions of the day.

“I was saying to myself, ‘This man will not get out of Syracuse without answering my questions,’” Lazarus remembers now. At the time she ducked behind a huge tractor and emerged at the front of the line, blocking the tour path. Her microphone was level with Cuomo’s face, as the mud streaked her bright white dress, shoes and stockings to make a workday fashion statement.

“He was startled,” she recalls. “He said, ‘Well, you got me,’ and answered my question.”

For me the incident inspired a ritual that I maintained for more than a decade of the Opening Day walks. If he thought a reporter’s questions were inappropriate for the occasion, I reasoned, I should really be helping share the existential celebration of the State Fair atmosphere. I eased myself into a space, matching his pace step by step, just off his right shoulder, and never asked a question during any of the following years.

At the beginning of each march, his eyes would pass over me as if to say, ‘I’m not going to ask you a question, either.” The state troopers who formed his body guard seemed to find it amusing.

You won’t find those memories in William O’Shaughnessy’s

$5 BNUS with every purchase of a

new book Mario Cuomo: Remembrances of a Remarkable Man (Whitney Media Publishing Group; distributed by Fordham University Press; 295 pages, $35).

Not a biography, the book is a product of O’Shaughnessy’s 38-year friendship with Cuomo (1932-2015), whom he characterizes as “a failed baseball player with too many vowels in his name.”

Many of the words in the book are actually Cuomo’s: quotes from his inspirational speeches, lines from personal letters to his children and grandchildren, notes from his days in office. O’Shaughnessy is president and editorial director of Whitney Media, broadcaster of WVOX and WVIP radio stations in Westchester County.

A self-styled Rockefeller Republican, O’Shaughnessy provides detailed background on the thinking leading up to seminal events in Cuomo’s career: the inspirational keynote address at the 1984 Democratic National Convention; the 1984 Notre Dame address on the church-andstate conflict on abortion faced by Roman Catholic office holders; and the big question: Why didn’t he run for president?

At the time the mythology had a plane, engine running, as it waited to take him to declare his candidacy for the 1992 race.

It also posited influence from an ethnic stereotype that no candidate of Italian extraction could ever run a successful presidential campaign. According to Cuomo, he had proposed a budget deal with Republicans in the state Legislature, without which the state would face economic shambles.

Thinking about it for two months in 1991, Cuomo quotes himself as telling Republican state Senate candidates, “Look, if you will make a budget, I will be out of here and I will run for president, and you can’t lose, because if I win you have a New Yorker in the White House, and that has to be good for New York.

And if I lose, you’re rid of me here in New York, and that has to be good for you Republicans.”

Cuomo felt certain they would do the budget, but they didn’t. He said he had no choice, that he couldn’t leave Albany in the face of a potential recession. But he insisted that he never felt regrets. SNT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by R ob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “I frequently

tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow,” wrote naturalist Henry David Thoreau in Walden, “to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.” I’d love to see you summon that level of commitment to your important rendezvous in the coming weeks, Aries. Please keep in mind, though, that your “most important rendezvous” are more likely to be with wild things, unruly wisdom or primal breakthroughs than with pillars of stability, committee meetings and business-as-usual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) For you Tauruses,

December is “I Accept and Love and Celebrate Myself Exactly How I Am Right Now” Month.

To galvanize yourself, play around with this declaration by Academy Award-winning Taurus actress Audrey Hepburn: “I’m a long way from the human being I’d like to be, but I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all.” Here are other thoughts to draw on during the festivities: 1. “If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone.” (Barbara De Angelis). 2.

“The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.” (e.e. cummings). 3. “To accept ourselves as we are means to value our imperfections as much as our perfections.” (Sandra Bierig). 4. “We cannot change anything until we accept it.” (Carl Jung).

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Are your collaborative projects (including the romantic kind) evolving at a slower pace than you expected?

Have they not grown as deep and strong as you’ve wished they would? If so, I hope you’re perturbed about it. Maybe that will motivate you to stop tolerating the stagnation. Here’s my recommendation: Don’t adopt a more serious and intense attitude. Instead, get loose and frisky.

Inject a dose of blithe spirits into your togetherness, maybe even some high jinks and rowdy experimentation. The cosmos has authorized you to initiate ingenious surprises.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) I don’t recommend that you buy a cat-o’-nine-tails and whip yourself in a misguided effort to exorcize your demons.

The truth is, those insidious troublemakers exult when you abuse yourself. They draw perverse sustenance from it. In fact, their strategy is to fool you into treating yourself badly. So, no. If you hope to drive away the saboteurs huddled in the sacred temple of your psyche, your best bet is to shower yourself with tender care, even luxurious blessings. The pests won’t like that, and — if you commit to this crusade for an extended time — they will eventually flee.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel García Márquez loved yellow roses. He often had a fresh bloom on his writing desk as he worked, placed there every morning by his wife Mercedes Barcha. In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to consider initiating a comparable ritual. Is there a touch of beauty you would like to inspire you on a regular basis? It there a poetic gesture you could faithfully perform for a person you love?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “For a year I watched as something entered and then left my body,” testified Jane Hirshfield in her poem “The Envoy.” What was that mysterious something?

Terror or happiness? She didn’t know. Nor could she decipher “how it came in” or “how it went out.” It hovered “where words could not reach it.

It slept where light could not go.” Her experience led her to conclude that “There are openings in our lives of which we know nothing.” I bring this meditation to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect you are about to tune in to a mysterious opening. But unlike Hirshfield, I think you’ll figure out what it is. And then you will respond to it with verve and intelligence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A reporter at the magazine Vanity Fair asked David Bowie, “What do you consider your greatest achievement?”

Bowie didn’t name any of his albums, videos or performances. Rather, he answered, “Discovering morning.” I suspect that you Libras will attract and generate marvels if you experiment with accomplishments like that in the coming weeks. So yes, try to discover or rediscover morning. Delve into the thrills of beginnings.

Magnify your appreciation for natural wonders that you usually take for granted. Be seduced by sources that emanate light and heat. Gravitate toward what’s fresh, blossoming, just-in-its-early-stages.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) According to

traditional astrology, you Scorpios are not prone to optimism. You’re more often portrayed as connoisseurs of smoldering enigmas and shadowy intrigue and deep questions. But one of the most creative and successful Scorpios of the 20th century did not completely fit this description. French artist Claude Monet was renowned for his delightful paintings of sensuous outdoor landscapes. “Every day I discover even more beautiful things,” he testified. “It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all. My head is bursting.” Monet is your patron saint in the coming weeks. You will have more potential to see as he did than you’ve had in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A journalist

dared composer John Cage to “summarize himself in a nutshell.” Cage said, “Get yourself out of whatever cage you find yourself in.” He might have added, “Avoid the nutshells that anyone tries to put you in.” This is always fun work to attend to, of course, but I especially recommend it to you Sagittarians right now. You’re in the time of year that’s close to the moment when you first barged out of your mom’s womb, where you had been housed for months. The coming weeks will be an excellent phase to attempt a similar if somewhat less extravagant trick.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Hundreds of years ago, the Catholic Church’s observance of Lent imposed a heavy burden. During this sixweek period, extending from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, believers were expected to cleanse their sins through acts of self-denial. For example, they weren’t supposed to eat meat on Fridays. Their menus could include fish, however.

And this loophole was expanded even further in the 17th century when the Church redefined beavers as being fish. (They swim well, after all.)

I’m in favor of you contemplating a new loophole in regard to your own self-limiting behaviors, Capricorn. Is there a taboo you observe that no longer makes perfect sense? Out of habit, do you deny yourself a pleasure or indulgence that might actually be good for you? Wriggle free of the constraints.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “The Pacific Ocean was overflowing the borders of the map,” wrote Pablo Neruda in his poem “The Sea.” “There was no place to put it,” he continued.

“It was so large, wild and blue that it didn’t fit anywhere. That’s why it was left in front of my window.” This passage is a lyrical approximation of what your life could be like in 2017. In other words, lavish, elemental, expansive experiences will be steadily available to you. Adventures that may have seemed impossibly big and unwieldy in the past will be just the right size. And it all begins soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “I have a deep fear of being too much,” writes poet Michelle K. “That one day I will find my someone, and they will realize that I am a hurricane. That they will step back and be intimidated by my muchness.”

Given the recent astrological omens, Pisces, I wouldn’t be shocked if you’ve been having similar feelings. But now here’s the good news: Given the astrological omens of the next nine months, I suspect the odds will be higher than usual that you’ll encounter brave souls who will be able to handle your muchness. They may or may not be soulmates or your one-and-only. I suggest you welcome them as they are, with all of their muchness.
