WEIRD NEWS 4 CENTRAL NEW YORK WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Time magazine chose journalists – named “The Guardians” – to be their 2018 Person of the Year. In a series of four cover illustrations, the “War on Truth” theme shows Philippines-based editor Maria Ressa, jailed Burmese journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, the staff of The Capital Gazette and the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in October at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The reporters beat out Meghan Markle, Moon Jae-in, Christine Balsey Ford, Donald Trump and more for the honor. “All despots live in fear of their people. To see genuine strength, look to the spaces where individuals dare to describe what’s going on in front of them,” the magazine stated, reflecting on the global state of the First Amendment right.

LEWD LUGGAGE

Airport security at Berlin’s Schonefeld Airport evacuated a terminal on Aug. 7 after spotting “suspicious content in a luggage piece” during a routine X-ray, according to CNN. The bag’s unnamed owner was summoned, but he was reluctant to identify the mysterious items, calling them just “technical stuff.” After an hour-long investigation involving the bomb squad, the 31-year-old traveler admitted to federal police that the items were sex toys, including a vibrator, he had brought along for his girlfriend. He was allowed to proceed with his trip, and the terminal reopened shortly afterward.

STEP ASIDE, CAT LADIES

Agents of Columbus (Ohio) Humane executed a warrant on a home in the Clintonville neighborhood on Aug. 14 in response to complaints about birds inhabiting the home. Columbus Humane CEO Rachel Finney told The Columbus Dispatch that concerns about the birds’ well-being were warranted: Officials found more than 600 birds inside, including macaws, African gray parrots, Amazon parrots and other species. “It’s pretty overwhelming to step into the house,” Finney said. Removal took all day, and Columbus Humane was undertaking the task of examining each bird from beak to tail. Finney said the agency would decide which birds might be adoptable after assessments are complete. As for the owner, she said, “We’re confident we’ll have charges; it’s just a matter of which charges and how many.”

study authors suggest building a swimming pool nearby to take pressure off the pond. Here’s an idea: More restrooms?

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION

The public works department in San Francisco gets, on average, 65 daily calls with complaints about feces on the sidewalk. Public works director Mohammed Nuru and the city’s mayor, London Breed, put their heads together and came up with a solution: the Poop Patrol. In mid-September, five public works employees with a steam cleaner began scouring poop “hot spots,” such as the Civic Center, Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods, during the afternoons to clean up what nature has left behind. (Another team also cleans overnight.) Officials told the San Francisco Chronicle that the waste comes from dogs and people, and the mayor recently allotted about $1 million for new public restrooms. “I just want the city to be clean,” Mayor Breed said, “and I want to make sure we’re providing the resources so that it can be.”

EWWWW!

Dr. Jay Curt Stager and his colleagues, researchers at Paul Smith’s College, have released results from a study showing that Walden Pond, made famous by naturalist Henry David Thoreau in the mid1800s, is an ecological disaster, thanks to human urine. The pond was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and the site in Concord, Massachusetts, draws hordes of tourists each year. But NBC News reports that swimmers urinating in the water for generations is the most likely cause of high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in the pond that cause algae to spread and block the sun’s rays, devastating the fish population.

WAY TO GO

The happiest place on Earth couldn’t work its magic on Aug. 15 when a worker at nearby Harvest Power fell into a vat of oil and grease from Walt Disney World. The plant in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, recycles the resort’s food waste, then converts it into renewable energy and fertilizer. John Korody, 61, and another worker were emptying the contents of a semitruck into a vat when Korody slipped on a grate and fell into the vat. His co-worker tried to pull him out, but the fumes overtook them both, and Korody slid farther in, according to The Washington Post. The Reedy Creek Fire Department responded, but Korody was pronounced dead at the scene.

SMOOTH REACTION

Debbie L. McCulley, 57, of Salem, Virginia, has been banned from all future Floyd County High School sporting events but, on the bright side, her indecent exposure case may eventually be dropped, following an incident area lawyers are calling “moon over Floyd.” McCulley’s husband, Mark, is the JV Jen Sorensen

softball coach for Glenvar High School, and the charges resulted from Debbie’s unusual reaction to her husband’s team’s loss to Floyd County in May. She “stood on or close to the pitcher’s mound and pulled down her pants with her right hand to expose her right butt cheek,” according to Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy G.H. Scott. But Debbie told the officer that her husband had confronted the opposing coach after the game, and she was afraid he would be “attacked,” so she was trying to divert attention from the two men. The Roanoke Times reported that Debbie wrote a letter of apology and will be performing community service. Chris Robinson of the Virginia High School League noted that crowd behavior at games is “probably leaning a little bit in the wrong direction.”

FOOLED YA!

University of Houston student Jehv M. looked at a blank wall in his local McDonald’s and saw opportunity. Hoping to boost Asian representation in the burger chain’s advertising, Jehv created a poster featuring himself and a friend touting McDonald’s french fries. They bought used McDonald’s uniforms at a thrift store as disguises, then boldly hung the poster in a Pearland, Texas, location as customers ordered and ate around them. United Press International reported that 51 days later, the poster still hung on the wall unnoticed, as shown in a photo on Jehv’s Twitter feed. It was not clear whether management at McDonald’s knew of the poster’s origins.

MMMM, TASTES LIKE CHICKEN

In Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Aug. 17, a friendly game at Southers Marsh Golf Club turned ugly when Derek Harkins, 46, and an unnamed 57-year-old man got into a brawl on the 18th hole. But you gotta hand it to Harkins: The Patriot Ledger reported that he pointedly ended the fight by biting off the other man’s finger up to the knuckle, according to Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri. The victim, from Marshfield, was taken to the hospital, but his finger could not be reattached. Harkins was arrested at the scene and charged with assault and battery, mayhem and disturbing the peace.

THINGS THAT MATTER B y L u k e Pa r s n o w

CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CRISIS MODE

t has been almost 17 years since The Boston Globe’s now infamous reporting of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, which put the crisis in the national spotlight. Indeed, the only thing that has changed since then is our comprehension of how far this crisis reaches and its sinister undertones.

Sexual abuse scandals forced the resignations of two of Pope Francis’ American cardinals in July and October. In August, a jaw-dropping grand jury report from the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office revealed allegations that more than 1,000 children were abused by more than 300 “predator priests” in the state’s six dioceses going back to the 1940s. Not only were these children alleged victims of crimes ranging from groping to rape, but it was discovered that the state’s Roman Catholic leaders had spent decades working to cover up these heinous acts. That report prompted New York state Attorney General Barbara Underwood to subpoena all eight Roman Catholic dioceses in the state as part of a probe into the church’s handling of sex abuse accusations. After decades of publicly denying this crisis and privately masking it, the church has been slowly increasing its cooperation and transparency when it comes to revealing serious allegations. Last week, the Syracuse Diocese released a list of clergy who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor in the diocese since 1950. In all, 57 priests were named. Most of them have already died and the ones who are still alive were already removed from the ministry. Many on the list were previously publicly known to have allegations against them. A Syracuse priest was recently revealed to be on the list of accused sexual abusers from the Buffalo diocese. That organization put out the list on its website in early November, and the link to the list was vaguely titled “Diocese releases new list of priests” — leaving out the “with substantiated claims of sexual abuse of a minor” part. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops met in Baltimore last month with 12.12.18 - 12.18.18 | syracusenew times.com

the hope of voting on several needed reforms. According to the bishops’ conference, those measures included a hotline to report bishops accused of abuse or mishandling abuse cases; establishing standards of conduct for bishops; and creating “protocols for bishops resigned or removed because of abuse.” But the Vatican ordered the bishops to delay voting on any of those measures. While a surprise move like that may mean that the Vatican is in the midst of its own reforms, Paul Snyder, a Catholic deacon in the Buffalo diocese, wrote in an opinion piece for CNN that there is probably another objective at work here: “The reality is that this worldwide abuse crisis has overwhelmed a complacent and recalcitrant Roman Curia (that is, the most powerful men of the worldwide Catholic Church) who have repeatedly shown that they view themselves more as protectors of an elite clerical status quo rather than as protectors of our children.” Now is the time to address this issue. The church has nothing to lose by holding itself accountable. And it has nothing to gain by continuing to approach these scandals with a position that can be likened to applying bandages on broken bones. Its leaders can sidestep this problem, but more abuse reports are likely to come out and public outcry will grow louder. The longer this goes on, the longer it will take for the Catholic Church to move past this. In the meantime, the number of American Catholics has been declining steadily for some time, and rampant sexual abuse in the church is likely to only accelerate that decline. We must implore the men of God to do the right thing and become the men for God’s children. It’s up to the church to do that. For the rest of us, we can only pray. SNT

HERCULES CANDY MUSCLES INTO THE HOLIDAYS WITH SWEET TREATS

hristmas came early this year for Terry and Steve Andrianos. In September, they moved their Hercules Candy Co. out of its longtime home on West Heman Street in East Syracuse to spacious new quarters at 720 W. Manlius St., on the village’s main thoroughfare.

Clockwise from top: Tons of treats at Hercules Candy’s new location; Cara Andrianos gets chocolates ready for sale; the larger space means more room for in-house candy production. Michael Davis photos

12.12.18 - 12.18.18 | syracusenew times.com

The new storefront gives them several things they needed: greater visibility and more room for candy production, packaging and shipping. The Heman Street site, at 1,600 square feet over two floors, had felt cramped for some time. “We more than doubled in size,” Terry Andrianos says, “and sometimes it feels like it’s not enough. We’re really excited to be here.” Thanks to the growing popularity of the Hercules Candy Co. YouTube channel, the Andrianos have seen a dramatic increase in online orders. Son Craig Andrianos launched the channel several years ago and it now has more than 207,000 subscribers. Viewers tune in to see the family chat, discuss the history of the business, joke around and, of course, make candy. Because Craig is behind the camera, everyone is at ease. “We’re just ourselves,” Terry says. “You’re watching us work and having some fun, too.” The new location also gives the Andrianos a climate-controlled environment to produce seasonal specialties like pillow candy (colorful hard candy in both spice and “fruit and friendly” flavors), ribbon candy (including their popular peanut butter-filled molasses ribbon candy) and handmade candy canes in a rainbow of colors and flavors, including peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, cinnamon, orange, raspberry and root beer. In the past, hard candies were made in fall and winter only, because they are best made in cool, dry conditions. Now, pillow candy can be made year-round. And Steve Andrianos was able to begin candy cane production well ahead of Hercules’ annual “Candy Cane Open House” events on Nov. 17 and 24. More than 1,600 people descended on the new storefront over two Sundays, leaving some shelves empty of product. “It’s hard for us to keep up sometimes,” Terry Andrianos admits. Hercules Candy Co. is an immigrant-founded business with a long history in Central New York. It got its start in 1910, when Robert Andrianos, a native of Greece (and Steve’s grandfather) and two of his brothers opened the Boston Candy Kitchen in the village. The Heman Street home was purchased in 1918 and candy production moved there in 1931, during the Great Depression. Steven Andrianos grew up watching his father (also named Steven), uncles and aunts making candy and learned to make it himself starting at age 12. In 1977, five years after his father had closed the business, he brought it back to life on Heman Street. Just as it has been for generations, the present-day Hercules Candy Co. is a family affair. Steve is the lead candymaker. Craig, 26, manages video production and media. His twin sister, Cara, often works in packaging and shipping and on the retail floor. Terry handles online orders, ingredients, stock, schedules. “I’m kind of like the detail person, basically,” she says. After Easter of this year, the Andrianos started looking for a larger space in and around East Syracuse. They considered several possible locations and knew the West Manlius Street space was “a match made in heaven” when they saw it, Ter-

ry recalls. The retail area is bright and open, with plenty of room for shelving and displays. The front windows look out over West Manlius Street and another window overlooks the candy-making area, so visitors can get a glimpse of production. On a recent afternoon, two employees (including YouTube star Max) were running peanut brittle and potato chips through the enrober, a machine that tempers chocolate and coats the ingredients. Steve Andrianos was seated at a table nearby, dipping ridged potato chips in vegan chocolate. Cara was fulfilling mail orders in the shipping room. Heading into the holiday season, Terry Andrianos said they had already made 4,000 candy canes, 450 pounds of pillow candy, 1,200 pounds of nut brittles and various ribbon candies and barks. When they run out of things, they won’t be making more. For the best selection, shop early.

Holly Glow

After Thanksgiving and the candy cane open houses, it’s time to turn attention to molded chocolates (think foil-wrapped Santas and stockings and dozens of other shapes), filled chocolates (like sea salt chocolates) and other chocolate specialties, like nut clusters. Terry says they’ll produce more than 2,000 pounds of various chocolates. It took some time to master it, she says, but the enrober makes it more quick and efficient to coat things like marshmallows and sandwich cookies. “It’s a game changer for us,” she says. Holiday hours at Hercules Candy Co. are Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. For information, visit herculescandy.com or call (315) 463-4339.

STAGE

By James MacKillop

Nutty but nice: Chris Stevens in Syracuse Stage’s Elf: The Musical. Michael Davis photo

TINSEL TIDINGS IN MERRY MUSICAL AT SYRACUSE STAGE The first thing the annual holiday show at Syracuse Stage has to do is knock your eyes out. Thus, for Elf: The Musical (running through Jan. 6), Jessica Ford supplies 130 costumes, including some with shoe-like knee slip-ons suitable for elfish dancing. Scenic designer Czerton Lim comes in with constantly changing sets so that — whoosh! — we zoom from the North Pole to midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building, Macy’s and the Rockefeller Center ice rink. And with the iconic gold statue of Prometheus looming above, members of the chorus are skating on the pond. Then, whoosh again, and we’re back into the fast-moving action. Anticipation for Elf has been high, in part because of 18 years of successful holiday-time collaborations between Syracuse Stage and the Syracuse University Drama Department. Two immediate aspects of the show encourage confidence. Director Donna Drake, who helmed last year’s smash The Wizard of Oz, is returning. And Elf, with a score by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (known for The Wedding Singer), which opened in New York City in 2010, draws on the much-loved 2003 movie with Will Ferrell. It has become a yuletide perennial, keeping company with Jean

Shepherd’s A Christmas Story and Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. There are a few changes from the movie, but nothing to worry about. The 2003 feature came before the advent of the iPhone, ubiquitous now, and is set at Gimbels rather than Macy’s. In both the semi-serious theme is accepting one’s own humanity, a familiar secular idea of Christmas since at least Charles Dickens in 1843. Putting profits ahead of people and betraying values for commercial advantage both come off badly. Santa Claus (Jayson Elliott), the real dude, frames the story while relaxing in an easy chair and snapping his remote control. He’s also part of the first big production number, “Christmastown,” where indeed a company of elves are making toys for all the children in the world. The chorus, with those elf-shoe knee slip-ons, appear to be about twothirds human height, which means that one of the company, Buddy (Chris Stevens), towers above them. This Buddy may not be 6-foot-3 like Will Ferrell, but he’s tall enough. He’s not like the others because he’s actually a human and so must travel south and find his birth father. Santa warns, “He’s been naughty.” Scenic designer Czerton Lim evokes

12.12.18 - 12.18.18 | syracusenew times.com

lightning-flash movements from scene to scene with projected images, many of them mottled photographs of actual Manhattan locations. Buddy quickly locates his birth father, Walter Hobbs (Aloysius Gigl, who bears a striking resemblance to the late George C. Scott, once a memorable Scrooge in a TV movie). Walter is a hard-pressed editor in the children’s book trade, not usually thought of as a cut-throat enterprise, but here it feels like commodity trading in pork bellies. Despite Buddy’s celebratory “World’s Greatest Dad” number, things don’t go well. Father Walter is “naughty” because he just doesn’t have the Christmas spirit, and his son Michael (Seth Pagliaroli), does not believe in Santa Claus. Mother Emily Hobbs (Allison Mickelson), however, allows that Buddy might have an opening into the family. The family is in the office along with Jill-of-all-trades assistant Deb (Celia Madeoy) joining in as Buddy puts on a business suit and works to fit in to the company mode. Although Buddy is nominally in search of his father, he is also an emissary from Santa’s Workshop and an innocent in the Big City. Fluffy as the show may seem, Buddy has impressive antecedents, from at least Voltaire’s Candide and Herman Melville’s Billy Budd. The distinction

here is that he is not buffeted by cruelty and greed but is a change agent, the Johnny Appleseed of joy. The task for Chris Stevens in the title role is not to come off as a chuckle-headed fool. Stevens, who’s in almost every scene, evokes the invincible guilelessness Ferrell brought to the movie. The script also sneaks in moments of wisdom in his folly. When told about his humanity in Santa’s Workshop, Buddy asks in astonishment, “You mean I’m an orphan?” and breaks into a few bars from Annie. This stage adaptation was co-written by Broadway veteran Thomas Meehan, who also wrote Annie a generation ago. When the scene shifts to Macy’s we can never quite forget the resonances of Miracle on 34th Street and David Sedaris’ The Santaland Diaries. On the upside, justifying the store’s use of its good name, we have the big production number “Sparklejollytwinklejingley,” with strong support from the boisterous Macy’s manager (Chaz Rose). More to the Sedaris side, Buddy comes across a downcast employee named Jovie (Rachel Mracna, the top role given to any SU Drama student). She becomes Buddy’s love interest, and although their story is not especially compelling, Jovie is given the most affecting solo in the show, “Never Fall in Love.” Back to the plot. Walter’s publishing enterprise is going to smash when a Dickensian villain, Mr. Greenway (David Lowenstein, last season’s Wizard of Oz), comes up with an ultimatum: either produce a blockbuster book or the company is over — and on Christmas Eve. The absurdist attempts to come up with such a book provide some of Elf’s best laughs. Despite Brian Cimmet’s superlative music direction and Brian J. Marcum’s visually exciting choreography, Sklar and Beguelin’s score is not one of Elf’s assets. Few audience members will recall a single song the next day. But many are highly effective on stage. One of the wittiest is “Nobody Cares About Santa,” in which unemployed fake Santas lament that their time in the public’s affection has come to an end. In this co-production with SU Drama, student actors take care of much of the heavy lifting, playing multiple roles with instant costume changes. Outstanding are Crawford Horton in several parts, including a fake Santa, Kayla Mattocks in four roles, especially the main skater, and Caleb James Grochalski, Michelle Arotsky and Markcus Blair. Many of the holiday shows have been gussied-up perennials, like The Wizard of Oz. But Elf, a show written in this decade, starts a new tradition at Syracuse Stage. SNT

Snoop doggin’: Mariko Iwasa and Maxwel Anderson in the Redhouse’s A Charlie Brown Christmas. Genevieve Fridley photo

NOSTALGIA RULES WITH MORE HOLIDAY CHESTNUTS Tis the season for yuletide productions, with local companies cramming them in as popular diversions during the too-brief holiday-shopping window. A Charlie Brown Christmas, making its local stage debut through Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Redhouse Arts Center, should never be confused with Clark Gesner’s You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, a community theater perennial. The Christmas show is based on the 1964 CBSTV special, with a jazz score by Vince Guaraldi. Whereas Charles M. Schulz’s ever-endearing Peanuts comic strip is existentialism-lite, the kid-friendly Charlie Brown Christmas is only 80 minutes long, and the first intermission comes at 25 minutes. Although the cast of children extends to 10, including Shermy (Ryan Dunn) and Violet (Gretchen Martino), who slid to the sidelines over the years, the central challenger to Charlie Brown’s well-being and sense of self is still sharp-fanged Lucy. In casting these roles director Jonathan David Martin draws on two strong players with excellent records. As Lucy, Carleena Manzi has been a standout in shows at Le Moyne College, from which she has just graduated, and has been highly visible in a variety of roles in different companies like Central New York Playhouse. Her Lucy’s psychiatric advice can draw blood. Redhouse veteran Maxwel Anderson takes on the more demanding role of Charlie. Last seen in Six Degrees of Sep-

aration, Anderson brings phenomenal credits, including leads in Shakespeare and operatic productions such as the comic Die Fledermaus. He has complete control over Charlie’s evanescent tone. The character may be frequently frustrated (“Oh, rats!”) and laughable, but these must never occlude his fundamental pathos. Children in the audience can never abandon him. The show’s scene-stealer, of course, is Snoopy. Charlie, while drawn to look like a fellow art student, is the character Schulz dreaded that he might be. Snoopy, all confidence and élan, was the character he aspired to be: Joe Cool. Imported for this occasion is Toykoborn mime Mariko Iwasa, who has been working for the Clown School at Ringling Brothers. Along with the usual mime tricks, Iwasa also does all the show business dances, including tap. Choreographer Stephfond Brunson pushes her to the limits, with visual confections that may be unique to her repertory. With all the nimbleness of a gymnast, Iwasa can also appear to take flight. The plot has the Peanuts gang wanting to put on a Christmas show (Lucy’s idea), and Charlie will be the director. This gives attention to other members of the company, such as Schroeder (Napat Mingkwanyuen, the only Equity player). Audiences hoping to find favorites, like the blanket-clutching Linus (a tall Joseph Buck), slovenly Pig Pen (Ari Cummings), forthright Frieda (Makyra Alexander),

Peppermint Patty (Chelsea Lembo), and Charlie’s acerbic sister Sally (Addy Whitener), will not be disappointed. Extra time is taken up by traditional music like “Silent Night” and “Come All Ye Faithful,” led by Thai-born Mingkwanyuen, who was memorable as the Prince in the Redhouse’s The Little Mermaid. Over at Central New York Playhouse, the familiar Miracle on 34th Street runs through Dec. 22. Thanks to the continuing legacy of the 1947 movie, prospective audiences already know what to expect. Yet there are formidable directorial challenges with such film-to-stage transitions. The movie camera can flit all over the place, whereas live action has to perform within narrow confines. Director Bella Calabria starts out with strong leads, including Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theater (SALT) winner Tom Minion as Kris Kringle with his own fluffy beard, and red-haired Korrie Taylor in the Maureen O’Hara part of single mom Doris. A drunken Macy’s Santa (Phil Brady) is disgracing his costume, and Minion’s Kringle restores dignity, without excessive bonhomie or any imitation of Edmund Gwenn from the movie. He listens to children and does not condescend to them. Korrie Taylor’s Doris must navigate a longer arc, as she initially rejects Kris Kringle and all his claims. High marks also for frequent music director-turned-actor Abel Searor as Fred Gayley (the John Payne part), who is initially an unobtrusive neighbor but shows his quiet mettle in the courtroom scene. Several new faces acquit themselves well while appearing for only a few moments. Jim Molloy as the Thomas Mitchell-esque Judge Harper may find himself in demand to play gents of a certain age. And James Sharples as Bloomingdale wins the prize for the most impressive walk-on debut of the season. Calabria moves the action forward to the present, even though the film’s action in 1947 allows that a Dutch girl might have recently left war-torn Europe. Gimbels’ department store is long gone so that Macy’s rival is now improbably Bloomingdale’s, 24 blocks north. Updating also flips the gender of several characters, outwardly a good idea as there are 34 speaking roles and most companies have a surplus of female talent. Only some scenes come out differently. The imperious psychiatrist, played in the film by a stuffed-shirt Porter Hall, is now portrayed by diminutive, anxiety-ridden Christa Wirth. We don’t cheer when she’s humiliated and almost wish she could have a second chance. The director thanks her fiancé Christo-

pher Lupia, one of the company’s most versatile players, for designing and building the set. And an act of love it is, with trapdoors, and both sliding and fallout panels. The set solves some problems with the rapid scene changes, but not all of them. The trial scene, among others, still clunks along, even with actor Molloy’s authority. As is fitting with a Christmas production, there are quite a few youngsters in the cast, including a previously unseen quartet of Elves who retell a classic Abbott and Costello routine. Too many supporting players do not project well to the second row, yet Amelia Frick scores as Doris’ young daughter, along with Tone Merrick and Paul Cayen as the two sharp postal workers who speak up and save the day.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY Five decades ago Syracuse neighborhoods were razed to construct Interstate-81

BY DAVID HAAS itting down for coffee in a cafe on the northeastern end of Syracuse is Paul Harvey. Paul is a retired teacher and active member of our community, volunteering his time with the Historic Oakwood Cemetery Preservation Association and the Syracuse Poster Project, among other endeavors.

Born in Montezuma, New York, his path to Syracuse sits squarely in the center of many discussions surrounding the future of the community he loves. You see, Paul’s father was Eugene Harvey, the head engineer of Interstate-81, a project that has drastically altered Syracuse for the last 50 years. Paul can remember his first time in Syracuse. His father took him for a ride through the city, visiting the areas where the highway would go. It was when he reached the 15th Ward, Paul recalls his dad saying, “My God, this is going right through the center of the community.” In the 1950s, the 15th Ward of Syracuse was known as the “slums.” It was an area that Dr. Charles Abrams, the New York state commissioner of rent control, told the crowd in a 1955 meeting at Maxwell Auditorium at Syracuse University, was among the worst slums in the entire world. The slums were the result of large groups of people moving tightly into geographical pockets of poverty. After World War II, many displaced refugees and African-Americans had moved north in an effort to find work and escape the discrimination of the South. They settled in a neighborhood adjacent to downtown Syracuse. These individuals were given little to no choice in regards to housing and indirectly told where to live.

12.12.18 - 12.18.18 | syracusenew times.com

One Syracuse real estate agent told The Post-Standard in January 1954 his interpretation of how Syracuse real estate dealers discriminated against African-Americans, saying, “Negroes are just not shown houses for sale. We have about 700 listings that run anywhere from Fayetteville on the east to Camillus on the west. It runs from Liverpool on the north to Nedrow on the south. There is no outspoken discrimination. It is a very subtle thing. If they get a Negro who wants a house they show him a house in the slum area or the semi-slum area and tell him that’s all there is. “Real estate dealers in this city will sell Negroes houses in the 15th Ward and its immediate area but they just don’t show houses up through the University area. If they sold a Negro a house in Westvale there would be the devil to pay, and the same thing goes for DeWitt.” One local columnist wrote, “If the migrant worker is staying north to escape discrimination, he is following the wrong compass,” adding, “In the South they have it up in clear letters: White or Colored. In the North such signs are against the law and he often walks into discrimination blindly.” But the opportunities in Syracuse at the time were too good to pass up. One migrant worker who moved into the 15th Ward in 1954 said, “In Florida, I

couldn’t make $30 a week, I’m making $70 a week here.”

Absentee Landlords At Work

Many residential owners outside of the 15th Ward were in fear that their property values might lessen if a southern migrant worker was to move into their area. W.D. Rumsey, the East Side housing chairman told The Post-Standard that he was “definitely against Negroes living in white neighborhoods. The value of property goes down when they move in.” When asked what he thought should be done to help individuals living in the 15th Ward, Rumsey added, “I am very much interested in a plan to help them out, but human nature is human nature and you’ve just got to accept it.” As the population in the 15th Ward continued to grow over the middle of the 20th century, housing stock and adequate housing plummeted. In 1959, there were 27,000 people per square mile in the 15th Ward, compared to the city average of 9,000. For years, the landlords in the 15th Ward violated city codes, but went unpunished. Many 15th Ward residents lived in multiroom dwelling units that had been cut up into single room multi-unit dwelling units after previous tenants moved to the surrounding towns and villages. One Post-Standard reporter wrote of the situation that the residents “become the prey of landlords in the area who merely put out the cardboard, split up

dwellings and rent them for skyrocket prices.” A piece written by Howard Carroll in 1959 highlighted the rental issues individuals in the 15th Ward were facing with an article titled, “Gouging Landlords Sock Tenants in the 15th Ward.” According to Carroll, the most expensive rental area in the city was indeed the 15th Ward, reporting that it cost more to live there than it did to live in the brand-new Skyline Apartments on James Street. Countless stories of violations made their way into the local papers in the mid1950s after The Post-Standard began interviewing occupants of the slums. The newspaper found “Six people living in a single room on North McBride Street,” “A gas leak on Cedar Street,” “11 young children living in an apartment without heat on East Washington Street,” to highlight a few. While the area was known for absentee landlords, the paper reported, “Syracuse has yet to convict and sentence one person in connection with the violation of housing codes.” George Hebert, superintendent of the Bureau of Building and Rehabilitation said that “for every property owner in the 15th Ward who has signified a willingness to comply with the Syracuse Building Code regulations, there are a dozen who haven’t.” Many leases forced individuals to pay rent weekly, an effort by landlords to ensure four extra weeks of rent over the year as opposed to the standard monthly rental.

Urban Renewal To The Rescue

In the late 1950s Syracuse joined several other cities across the country in an effort to redevelop what was considered urban decay by appointing a director of urban renewal. Then-Mayor Donald H. Mead hired Arthur J. Reed, who was given one major objective: slum cleanup. The answer: eliminate substandard housing. It was the belief of many public officials that eliminating the slums would bolster the demand for housing. At the time, Mead was the first mayor to take action to combat the issues faced in the slums. City officials urged families living in the slums to seek the help of the Relocation Office, a branch created under urban renewal, as the city worked to acquire houses they deemed uninhabitable. Staff at the relocation office provided families with listings to make alternative living arrangements. During the first year in existence, one-fifth of the area’s population was relocated. Syracuse was home to several housing projects that were constructed as early as 1939, including the Pioneer Homes, Salt City Homes and Eastwood Homes. While Syracuse seized dozens upon dozens of homes, private ownership was dwindling and new homes were not being constructed. Instead, contractors worked to create additional housing projects as residents of the 15th Ward began moving to the South Side. While some praised the city’s efforts to combat the slums, others were more un-

enthusiastic. Leonard Shapiro, 15th Ward supervisor, spoke for what he considered the “displaced refugees of Syracuse,” saying, “We are talking about displaced persons who only a few years ago settled in that area because they were kicked out of other areas.” Shapiro argued that razing the slums would create an overall shortage of homes: “Where could they go out and buy replacement homes?” he asked. Shortly after his question, plans to build a 56-, 262- and 160-single dwelling unit housing projects were proposed for the South Side. As more properties were demolished, more individuals spoke out; Rev. Walter N. Welch of Grace Episcopal Church worried that moving more large families into densely populated areas would mean more children in a section where schools were already overcrowded, negatively impacting the education of an entire generation of people. Longtime civil rights advocate Peggy Brown stated in her 2006 memoir that “the main outflow from the 15th Ward went south, down South State Street,” adding, “where big houses were subdivided and rented.” Peggy’s husband, Frank, tried to prevent additional housing projects in the 15th Ward and pushed for land in Camillus in hopes that the housing could be truly integrated with both white and black families but was according to Peggy, “quickly denied.” NEXT PAGE

At the same time as Syracuse was undertaking efforts of urban renewal, the 1956 Federal Highway Act authorized money for the construction of a new interstate system that would ultimately range from Tennessee to Canada. As the new highway system was progressing ever closer to Syracuse, local officials were eager to garner their share of the funds and earmark them for urban renewal. The city also hoped to have a strong say as to where the highway might be routed near their city. Unfortunately, Syracuse was never involved in the initial planning. It wasn’t until April 1958 that a plan leaked to The Post-Standard that the new highway would cut directly through the heart of the city, and that hundreds of additional homes, businesses and commercial properties would be affected by the acquisition of the right-of-way. When the plan was made known to the public, it was immediately rejected by the majority of residents. New Mayor Anthony Henninger believed he had caught wind of the idea soon enough to persuade the state to change course. He told the local paper that such a highway would completely “imprison” the valuable downtown district and would prevent any further growth within the city. Other local officials soon joined him. Carl Maar, president of the local Chamber of Commerce, said he wouldn’t support a “Chinese Wall” between downtown and the university. City Engineer Potter Kelly opposed anything that would result in an “elevated highway.” Roy Simmons, president of the Common Council, doubted that the state could “jam an elevated highway plan down the throats of Syracusans.” An editorial in The Post-Standard on April 13, 1958, pleaded for then-Gov. Averell Harriman to protect the interests of Syracuse. From there, the discussion raged on. Two weeks after the editorial, The Herald American published an article by Joseph V. Ganley with a bold headline stating, “Stateway Elevation Fear Unfounded.” Ganley wrote that any individual worried that their property value might deteriorate due to the new highway is speaking “prematurely.” Another article in The Post-Standard pondered the idea of a depressed

highway through downtown, noting that it would “give the Medical Center and Syracuse University the prominent place they deserve in Syracuse development and provide handsomely for expansion of the central business district.” William Eagan, an executive of the Eagan Real Estate Company, stated he saw “no foreseeable development in the next 50 years in downtown Syracuse,” and any thought otherwise should not be considered for conversation. Harry E. Lavier, secretary of the Automobile Club of Syracuse Inc., stated that smaller towns and villages were experiencing large population increases and had transformed quiet sectors into bustling suburbia. Lavier hypothesized that Syracuse would yield the same results once the highway was completed. It wasn’t until November 1961 that the route of Interstate-81 was ultimately determined: It would be built through the center of Syracuse. To the same effect as urban renewal, the state began acquiring property from landowners for highway construction. The state provided Syracuse with additional support for relocation services as 15th Ward residents continued their move to the South Side. The local papers were flooded with articles noting the sale of hundreds of properties to New York state and the acceptance of bids to raze structures. Among the many headlines: “Fellows Bids Low on Razing 34 Structures,” “Sale and Removal of 24 Properties,” “Building Bureau Issues 14 Demolition Permits,” “X Marks Vacant Spots Slated for Demolition,” to name a few. Other articles in the early 1960s highlighted the demolition of dozens of properties: “31 structures on and near E. Washington, Fayette and Genesee streets,” “24 structures on Almond Street,” “29 on East Pleasant Street,” “14 structures between Clinton Street and Forman Avenue.” More than 400 properties were demolished. Lost amid the reporting were the stories of human interest. The local papers admitted that they did little to no work in reporting on the citizens of the city during the great period of transformation for Syracuse. The Post-Standard wrote that besides a small series by Eleanor Rosebrugh, no reporter had written about the tremendous human upheaval taking place in the city, writing, “This is the sort of reporting which we must admit many newspapers do too seldom.”

Reporter Bob Driver was able to interview residents on Almond Street who, at the time, were preparing to lose their dwellings. Driver wrote, “It’s hard to find anyone who’s very excited about the highway on Almond Street.” One resident responded, “What difference does it make, the buildings have been condemned already.” A local butcher commented, “They’ll build a highway above us, and the people beneath it will keep on killing each other.” When Driver

asked where a mother of four would go when the highway comes, she stated, “I’ll just hope I can get into public housing somewhere.” By 1963, many residents were fed up with the state’s process to purchase their home. Robert Sherwood of Leon Street told James Cosgrove of The Post-Standard that he had packed his belongings more than a year ago in preparation for the move, but never heard another word after the state engineer visited.

It is very plausible that this individual was Paul Harvey’s father, Eugene. Paul had stated that when his father knew of a home that was cited for demolition, he often visited with the residents to ensure they had a plan and knew what was coming. Paul said the idea of relocating thousands of citizens “hurt his father deeply,” but that his father knew if someone was to complete the project, “it might as well have been someone who cared.” The long, tortuous process for building

the highway through the middle of the city was difficult. The state ran into resistance from property owners who felt they were not being offered a fair price for their property. Other residents complained that they couldn’t plan a new housing arrangement without payment for their current home. Riddled with new laws, additional procedures, restrictions and tax relief clauses, eminent domain dragged on for years. Some city officials advocated saving NEXT PAGE

NEWS FROM THE YEAR 2040 A satiric speculation on what Central New Yorkers could expect with a community grid B y St at e S e n . J o h n A . D e Fra n c i s c o, 5 0 t h D i s t r i c t During a news conference held today, John Jones, manager of the Community Grid Apartments, constructed five years ago near the intersection of Adams and Almond streets, called on public officials to provide a solution to a critical problem. Jones alerted the public that “30 percent of our tenants have respiratory diseases and that the number is going up each month.” Joe Smith, a tenant at the complex, acknowledged that he has contracted a respiratory disease. He stated, “I’m a resident physician at Upstate, and I walk daily to and from the hospital. I am convinced that the increase in emissions has been a substantial contributing cause to my disease. Before I knew I had respiratory problems, I only used to complain about how long it took me to cross the four lanes of Almond Street to get to the hospital. Although that was annoying, it is nowhere near as serious as my deteriorating health.” St. Joseph’s Hospital pulmonologist Dr. E. Dolittle stated that respiratory illnesses in Central New York have increased by more than 20 percent over the last five years. “I believe this is partly due to the increase in emissions from cars idling in the city on the community grid,” he said. “I am part of the daily community gridlock trying to get to and from work, so I am part of the problem.” The regional director of the Department of Transportation acknowledged that there was increased traffic, but that it was “not all that bad.” He stated that the DOT was working on moving traffic more quickly along Almond Street, which became a four-lane highway when the Interstate-81 viaducts were removed. “We never anticipated it would be this much of a problem when we designed the 14 traffic lights on Almond Street, and the Salina-Almond street intersection,” he said. He conceded that an independent study released at the time of the DOT design predicted that the design would result in more than triple the wait time for drivers at that intersection. He also conceded that the DOT woefully underestimated the amount of north-south traffic on Almond Street, not believing the independent study that also predicted that the DOT design of this stretch of Almond Street would be insufficient to accommodate 800,000 vehicles per day. In other news, Mayor James Ben Walsh, son of former Mayor Ben Walsh, grandson of former Congressman Jim Walsh, and great-grandson of Mayor William Walsh, announced that he was pressing the state Legislature for more CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) funding to help the city pay for its pothole-infested roads. He stated, “Maintenance costs of these streets have gone up 275 percent since the viaducts were demolished.” Walsh went on to say that “the state has saved millions of dollars by not having to maintain the viaducts, which previously moved traffic over and around the city. The state must bear this burden, especially since we have a $35 million deficit in our city budget.” In related news, four more people are in intensive care due to the delays in tending to their serious heart ailments. St. Joseph’s Hospital CEO Maxwell Smart, son of the former hospital board of directors president, emphatically defended the actions of the emergency room personnel and pointed to the inordinate delays in transporting the patients by ambulance to the hospital.

Smart also admitted, “This isn’t the first such problems we’ve experienced. Ever since the viaduct went down, traffic has been horrendous.” Smart was reminded that members of the board of directors argued in 2018 in favor of the community grid option, specifically stating that the board did not fear traffic delays if the viaducts went down, since ambulances rarely used the viaducts. Smart responded, “Maybe they should have anticipated the increased traffic on city streets with the destruction of the viaducts, but you can’t think of everything.” In economic development news, Central New York recently lost four more manufacturers and two product-distributing firms. When the CEOs were asked why they were leaving the area, three of them would not comment, citing that they didn’t want to deal with the media. However, the three others said they simply couldn’t move product because of the disastrous transportation system in Central New York. In other economic news, five hotels on Seventh North Street in Salina were sold to the nationwide Bates Hotel chain, which buys distressed hotels and attempts to rehabilitate them. When contacted, Jim Emmi, one of the selling CEOs, said, “My uncles warned state and local officials that this would happen, if customers traveling north and south on Route 81 had access to Seventh North Street interrupted, but the officials didn’t listen. Where was CenterState, which was supposed to be looking out for Central New York businesses, when my uncles made these pleas? How could CenterState have supported the community grid?” Norman Bates IV, CEO of Bates Hotels, said with a sly smile, “We will do the best we can to get these hotels up and running again, but I’m not too concerned because I personally like managing hotels with few customers.” In other news, the Finger Lakes region has reported a decline in tourism by 50 percent. When asked to explain the decline, the CEO of the Regional Tourism Office angrily said, “It’s that damn truck traffic that’s been diverted through the Finger Lakes that’s caused this disaster. Prior to the decision to construct the community grid, my predecessor warned the powers-that-be that truckers would take the quickest route, rather than fight the community gridlock in the city. They knew this would happen if the viaducts were taken down and there was no direct route from I-81 to the state Thruway. But they didn’t listen.” When asked about all these problems, Gov. Susan Cuomo, granddaughter of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, daughter of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the granddaughter of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, stated, “My father decided to construct the community grid in order to remove the viaducts that then created an artificial barrier in the city of Syracuse. He wanted to bring the community together so people could act and speak with one voice. He accomplished this: The residents of Central New York are all in total agreement as to the ‘wisdom’ of the 2019 decision on the replacement of Route 81.” Obviously, this article is a satire. But do you want your children and grandchildren reading such news items in 2040? It’s not too late to make the right decision now on their behalf. SNT syracusenew times.com | 12.12.18 - 12.18.18

Continued from page 17 whatever they could of their neighborhoods. In January 1964, Fourth District Councilman William S. Andrews opposed closing part of East Raynor Avenue for the highway and asked for more transparency and public hearings. Then-Mayor William Walsh and the Common Council asked for more time to review the impact on downtown businesses. Shortly thereafter, state Sen. John H. Hughes expressed his “disappointment” at the snail’s pace of Interstate-81 within the city and urged the completion of the project within 18 months.

By 1966, much of Interstate-81 had been completed and was in operation. The impact was immediately seen on South Salina Street, where residential and mixed-use buildings were quickly rezoned for gas stations and drive-in services. Carol Ehrsam of The Post-Standard spoke to John C. Louise, who owned a grocery store on South Salina Street; Louise stated the new highway “hurts my evening business because people on their way home go right past on 81. There’s much less traffic and it is quieter.” Another couple on South Salina stated they could no longer sit on their front porch because “the trucks were so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves talk.” “It’s killing us,” said motel owner John Neri. Diner owner Gerry Kosnetatos said his business had fallen 60 percent, “I hope I survive,” Kosnetatos said.

History Repeats Itself?

It has now been more than 50 years since the interstate highway was built in the heart of the city of Syracuse. The impact of the highway and the resultant suburban sprawl on the area is well documented in scholarly studies and literary articles. Through it all, the city of Syracuse still stands, bruised and beaten, but tasked with making another gigantic decision regarding Interstate-81.

The lifespan of the 1.4-mile stretch of the highway that was built in the middle of the city has come to an end. New York state will soon decide to either rebuild the highway, remove the highway and replace it with a community grid or remove the highway and replace it with a tunnel. Much like before, community leaders, businesspeople, politicians and residents wrestle with the pending decision. And as it was said in 1962, “A person moving away from Syracuse this spring and returning in six or seven years will hardly recognize it as the same city.” In early 2019, the state transportation department will issue its draft environmental impact statement, a document that will kick off a 45-day comment period, after which state officials will issue a final statement that identifies the preferred option. Readers should utilize that period to educate themselves on the options and assist in making a decision. This is the second most important project our community will have ever undertaken. You just read about the first. As Post-Standard writer Eleanor Rosebrugh told readers as the plans for the new highway were first unfolding in 1961, “Every citizen has a choice. He may let things happen to him and others. Or he may join hands with his neighbors to help plan the changes which will affect their lives.” SNT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19) In 1930, some

British mystery writers formed a club to provide each other with artistic support and conviviality. They swore an oath to write their stories so that solving crimes happened solely through the wits of their fictional detectives, and not through “Divine Revelation, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery or Act of God.” I understand that principle, but don’t endorse it for your use in the coming weeks. On the contrary. I hope you’ll be on the alert and receptive to Divine Revelations, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery and Acts of God.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When you’re pre-

scribed antibiotic pills to fight off infection, you should finish the entire round. If you stop taking the meds partway through because you’re feeling better, you might enable a stronger version of the original infector to get a foothold in your system. This lesson provides an apt metaphor for a process you’re now undergoing. As you seek to purge a certain unhelpful presence in your life, you must follow through to the end. Don’t get lax halfway through. Keep on cleansing yourself and shedding the unwanted influence beyond the time you’re sure you’re free of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Danish scientist

and poet Piet Hein wrote this melancholy meditation: “Losing one glove is painful, but nothing compared to the pain of losing one, throwing away the other, and finding the first one again.” Let his words serve as a helpful warning to you, Gemini. If you lose one of your gloves, don’t immediately get rid of the second. Rather, be patient and await the eventual reappearance of the first. The same principle applies to other things that might temporarily go missing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Cancerian author

Elizabeth Gilbert is a soulful observer whose prose entertains and illuminates me. She’s well aware of her own limitations, however. For example, she writes, “Every few years, I think, ‘Maybe now I’m finally smart enough or sophisticated enough to understand Ulysses. So I pick it up and try it again. And by page 10, as always, I’m like, ‘What the hell?’” Gilbert is referring to the renowned 20th-century novel, James Joyce’s masterwork. She just can’t appreciate it. I propose that you make her your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. Now is a favorable time to acknowledge and accept that there are certain good influences and interesting things that you will simply never be able to benefit from. And that’s OK!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) More than three centuries ago, Dutch immigrants in New York ate a dessert known as the olykoek, or oily cake: sugar-sweetened dough deep-fried in pig fat. It was the forerunner of the modern doughnut. One problem with the otherwise delectable snack was that the center wasn’t always fully cooked. In 1847, a man named Hanson Gregory finally found a solution. Using a pepper shaker, he punched a hole in the middle of the dough, thus launching the shape that has endured until today. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you’re at a comparable turning point. If all goes according to cosmic plan, you will discover a key innovation that makes a pretty good thing even better. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) I can’t believe I’m

going to quote pop star Selena Gomez. But according to my analysis of the current astrological omens, her simple, homespun advice could be especially helpful to you in the coming weeks. “Never look back,” she says. “If Cinderella had looked back and picked up the shoe, she would have never found her prince.” Just to be clear, Virgo, I’m not saying you’ll experience an adventure that has a plot akin to the Cinderella fairy tale. But I do expect you will benefit from a “loss” as long as you’re focused on what’s ahead of you rather than what’s behind you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Among the pieces

of jewelry worn by superstar Elvis Presley were a Christian cross and a Star of David. “I don’t want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality,” he testified. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you, too, to cover all your bases in the coming weeks. Honor your important influences. Be extra-nice to everyone who might have something to offer you in the future. Show your appreciation for those who have helped make you who you are. And be as open-minded and welcoming and multicultural as you can genuinely be. Your motto is “Embrace the rainbow.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Are you a gam-

bling addict seeking power over your addiction? If you live in Michigan or Illinois, you can formally blacklist yourself from all casinos. Anytime your resolve wanes and you wander into a casino, you can be arrested and fined for trespassing. I invite you to consider a comparable approach as you work to free yourself from a bad habit or debilitating obsession. Enlist some help in enforcing your desire to refrain. Create an obstruction that will interfere with your ability to act on negative impulses.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “What is the

point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?” Author John Green asked that question. I confess that I’m not entirely comfortable with it. It’s a bit pushy. I find I’m more likely to do remarkable things if I’m not trying too hard to do remarkable things. Nevertheless, I offer it as one of your key themes for 2019. I suspect you will be so naturally inclined to do remarkable things that you won’t feel pressure to do so. Here’s my only advice: up the ante on your desire to be fully yourself; dream up new ways to give your most important gifts; explore all the possibilities of how you can express your soul’s code with vigor and rigor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In the fairy

tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” the heroine rejects both the options that are too puny and too excessive. She wisely decides that just enough is exactly right. I think she’s a good role model for you. After your time of feeling somewhat deprived, it would be understandable if you were tempted to crave too much and ask for too much and grab too much. It would be understandable, yes, but mistaken. For now, just enough is exactly right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In 1140, two

dynasties were at war in Weinsberg, in what’s now southern Germany. Conrad III, leader of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, laid siege to the castle at Weinsberg, headquarters of the rival Welfs dynasty. Things went badly for the Welfs, and just before Conrad launched a final attack, they surrendered. With a last-minute touch of mercy, Conrad agreed to allow the women of the castle to flee in safety along with whatever possessions they could carry. The women had an ingenious response: They lifted their husbands onto their backs and hauled them away to freedom. Conrad tolerated the trick, saying he would stand by his promise. I foresee a metaphorically comparable opportunity arising for you, Aquarius. It won’t be a life-or-death situation like that of the Welfs, but it will resemble it in that your original thinking can lead you and yours to greater freedom.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The National Cen-

ter for Biotechnology Information reported on a 15-year-old boy who had the notion that he could make himself into a superhero. First he arranged to get bitten by many spiders in the hope of acquiring the powers of Spider-Man. That didn’t work. Next, he injected mercury into his skin, theorizing it might give him talents comparable to the Marvel Comics mutant character named Mercury. As you strategize to build your power and clout in 2019, Pisces, I trust you won’t resort to questionable methods like those. You won’t need to! Your intuition should steadily guide you, providing precise information on how to proceed. And it all starts now.
