NEWS WEIRD By Chuck Shepherd

Jen Sorensen

Ecret-Say Ode-Kay

American gangsters traditionally use euphemisms and nicknames (“Chin,” “The Nose”) to disguise criminal activities, but among details revealed at a November murder trial in Sydney, Australia, was that members of the “Brothers 4 Life” gang might have used “pig latin.” In a phonetapped conversation played in court, one of the men on trial was overheard cunningly telling a henchman that a colleague had been “caught with the un-gay in the ar-kay.” A helpful witness then took the stand to explain to the jury that the defendant thus knew there was “a gun in the car.” At press time, the trial was still in progress.

Going Airborne

On Nov. 17, in Clarksville, Tenn., an unassuming pedestrian along Dover Road was smacked by a deer that sailed into him after it collided with a minivan. The pedestrian was taken to the hospital with broken bones.

Nonsense and Sensibility

An “academic” paper composed entirely of gibberish was accepted for a lecture at the International Conference on Atomic and Nuclear Physics in Atlanta last month. Professor Christoph Bartneck of New Zealand’s University of Canterbury said he began writing, using Apple iOS, by entering “atomic” and “nuclear” into his tablet and “randomly” following whatever “autocomplete” suggestions emerged. (Sample sentence: “The atoms of a better universe will have the right for the same as you are the way we shall have to be a great place.” Conclusion: “Power is not a great place for a good time.”)

Split Decision

Divorcing couples in Russia who cannot decide who gets to keep a treasured family home may leave the decision to a judge, and in October, a court in Moscow ordered a couple to build a brick wall dividing in two their expensive house in an elite neighborhood. Apparently contractors’ measurements have been taken, and the couple has assumed dominion over their respective areas, even to the extent that a friend of the wife had become “trapped” on the husband’s side and prevented from leaving until she called emergency services. Furthermore, the wife must have a second stairway built, as the existing one is on the husband’s side.

Micropenis Defense

Jacques Rouschop, 44, went to trial in October in Ottawa, Ontario, denying that he had raped two sex workers; he said it was physically impossible because at the time he, at 5-foot-6, weighed 400 pounds, had a 66-inch waist, and a two-inch-long

issue: Actor Sofia Vergara’s ex-boyfriend wants their embryo brought to term, but she does not, and Missouri woman Jalesia McQueen wants two she created with then-husband Justin Gadberry brought to term, but he does not. In the latter case, an appeals court ruled for Gadberry in November, although the couple already have two children from frozen embryos. In the Vergara case, the ex, Nick Loeb, is trying for an extraordinary court ruling based on his “inability to otherwise procreate,” since two subsequent girlfriends adamantly chose abortions.

The Play’s The Thing

penis (erect), plus a painful hernia. He was not asked to “flash” the jury, but an examining nurse verified the details. Despite the lack of DNA evidence, video or a rape kit, Rouschop was convicted.

Second-Amendment Follies

A 23-year-old man in Tampa, Fla., was hanging out with his cousin in September, and nearby were a gun and a bulletproof vest — and the result was predictable. According to police, the first man donned the vest and said he wondered whether it “still worked.” The cousin picked up the gun and said, “Let’s see.” The cousin, Alexandro Garibaldi, 24, was charged with manslaughter.

Legal Brief

Judges can issue “material witness” warrants to lock up innocent people to ensure their trial testimony but rarely do it to actual crime victims. In December 2015, the Houston, Texas, district attorney obtained such a warrant jailing a rape victim (“Jenny”) to secure her testimony against a serial rapist she could identify, because Jenny, exceptionally fragile, was hesitant. She finally took the stand, and

12.14.16 - 12.20.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

the rapist is now serving multiple life terms. But Jenny’s added trauma, especially since police mistakenly placed her into the jail’s general population instead of a separate wing, provoked her to file a lawsuit against the district attorney, which is still in progress. And in November, likely to Jenny’s satisfaction, District Attorney Devon Anderson failed re-election.

The debate over whether animals have “rights” enforceable by judges took a sharp turn upward in November when a judge in Argentina ordered the reluctant Mendoza Zoo to release a chimpanzee named Cecilia to a sanctuary in Brazil because the zoo had denied her the “right” to animal “essence” — to socialize with other chimps, since her last two playmates had died more than two years earlier. Mendoza Zoo was heavily criticized following the death last summer of Arturo, dubbed the “world’s saddest polar bear,” since he had suffered an even worse fate, with no playmates for 22 years.

Carp Diem

The Hole Truth

In November, an 18-year-old man who allegedly tried to steal koi carp fish from a holding tank, pending their return to a pond at Castle Park in Colchester, England, botched the job, resulting in the deaths of most of them, including some of the oldest and most visitor-friendly of the species. Park rangers managed to rescue several, and one ranger even gave mouthto-mouth resuscitation to three carp. A biologist told BBC News that carp are noted for surviving on low oxygen and might not have needed the mouth-to-mouth.

Sperm Wars

Most couples who create embryos to freeze for the future agree that the consent of both is required for actual use. Two former couples are on opposite sides of the

In October, sheriff’s deputies in Pinellas County, detaining the 350-pound Columbus Henderson, 45, discovered in one of Henderson’s orifices a glass “crack pipe” stuffed with steel wool. A week earlier, Henderson had shoplifted two 40-inch TV sets from a Wal-Mart in Fort Lauderdale, and fled, although he was identified when his loosely worn pants, containing his ID, fell completely off as he “dashed” through the parking lot. Police said Taccara Nauden, 28, had no contraband, but was using an orifice for her ID card, during a traffic stop in Hollywood, Fla., in October. She did not want police to know that she was Taccara Nauden, since there was an arrest warrant on her. In Fort Pierce, Fla., in October, police said that Rosalia Garcia, 28, badly failed

at handling glass crack pipes. Officers were called to a domestic fight in which Garcia’s boyfriend accused her of slashing him with her crack pipe, and later, while being booked on the charge, she told police she had another crack pipe in her genitals. Then, in front of an officer, she accidentally cut herself on the pipe as she removed it.

That Rundown Feeling

In October in Orlando, William Edwards, 28, leaving the Dancer’s Royale strip club at 2:30 a.m., started his truck, drove, fell out, had it run over his leg, and saw the truck drift down a street and into a home, injuring the occupant. Earlier in October, a 25-year-old man in Scugog, Ontario, backing his car down his driveway with the door open, fell out, had it run over his leg, and saw it hit two mailbox posts. Both times, as in nearly every similar case, alcohol was involved.

Sorry About That

Four innocent Texas women caught up in the 1990s’ “child sex abuse” panics, who served a cumulative 56 years in prison after their 1997 convictions, were completely exonerated in November by a Texas judge following the recanting of one “victim” and the retracting of the principal forensic “evidence.” The four women, then in their 20s, had been accused of genitally abusing nieces, ages 7 and 9, of one of the women. In the 1990s, beginning with the San Diego-area “McMartin School” case, it became easy for prosecutors to convince readyto-believe jurors that their little toddlers and adolescents were sexually abused in Satanic cults and by hordes of perverts, “proved” by self-assured counselors misapplying “science” and by fantastical “testimony” by children themselves, taken seriously by adults somehow unaware

Even Baking Soda Is Dangerous

that children have imaginations and a need to please adults.

Dialing for Dollars

In a June verdict still reverberating through the telemarketing industry, a jury in Utah found that three companies run by Forrest Baker III had illegally made 99 million phone calls to consumers on the Do Not Call Registry and an additional 18 million calls telling people they were merely doing surveys when the purpose was hawking their family-friendly movies. Both charges are violations of the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule. Although the total fine and damages have not been decided, the law provides that the most serious offenders could be assessed $16,000 per phone call, for a maximum of almost $1.9 trillion.

Almost all law enforcement agencies in America use the Scott Reagent field test when they discover powder that looks like cocaine, but the several agencies that have actually conducted tests for “false positives” say they happen up to half the time. In October, the latest victims, husband-and-wife truck drivers with spotless records and Pentagon clearances, were finally released after 75 days in jail awaiting trial — for baking soda that tested “positive” three times by Arkansas troopers, but, eventually, “negative” by a state crime lab. (Why do police love the test? It costs $2.) The truck drivers had to struggle to get their truck back and are still fighting to be re-cleared to drive military explosives.

KRAMER By Jeff Kramer

North We Go!

(to “Let It Snow”) Oh the nominees are so frightful They almost seem quite spiteful With all of our belongings in tow North we go! North we go! North we go! At the Canadian border we’re stopping “Just here to do some shopping” Showing passports gold and blue Let us through! Let us through! Let us through!

HOLIDAY SONGS FOR A CRUEL YULE I’m doing better now that we’re more than a month past the election. My stomach hurts less and the number of times I wake up in the middle of the night consumed by dread is generally less than two. I’m most bothered, for whatever reason, by the climate change deniers that the president-elect wants to stuff in his cabinet. A friend told me the other day that he wishes all the deniers would sit in an open, idling car in a closed garage for an hour, and then report back as to whether they still believe climate change is bogus. But none of this is very festive, is it? Let’s get to some Donald Trump-themed Christmas carols:

Trumpaclaus is Coming to Town

You better watch out You better not pry You better not doubt Or even ask why Trumpaclaus is coming to town He’s making a list He’s building a fence New PJs for Putin A torch for Mike Pence Trumpaclaus is coming to town He tweets us when we’re sleeping He tweets when we’re awake He blows off security briefings

He should tweet those, too, for tweetness sake

You better watch out! You better not pry Don’t mind the drought Just drink and get high Trumpaclaus is coming to town

Down on the South Lawn (to “Up on the House Top”) Down on the South Lawn Reindeer pause Fearing Donald Trumpaclaus Historic Truman Balcony’s the perfect blind He and Eric shoot every one they find Ho ho ho, the herd’s gotta go Ho ho ho, the herd’s gotta go Down on the South Lawn Click, click, click Even Richard Nixon wasn’t this sick First one is Prancer, an easy kill Second down is Dancer by the window sill Vixen’s the next one to go bye-bye Oops, that’s the president of Uruguay Ho ho ho, they didn’t know They confused Uruguay with Mexico-o-oh Down on the South Lawn Click, click, click Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re a . . . (provide rhyming word of your choice)

12.14.16 - 12.20.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

Except the guard says Canada just closed Our trusted ally gone Now where in the Hell should we go? To Taiwan! To Taiwan! To Taiwan! Alas, now back home I’m driving Where manufacturing’s thriving ’Cause as long as I watch fake news I can’t lose! I can’t lose! I can’t lose!

You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch (No wording changes necessary)

They’re Beginning to Look A Lot Like Fascists They’re beginning to look a lot like fascists Ev’ry where you go With sentences five-to-ten Languishing in the pen For anyone who doesn’t get in tow They’re beginning to look a lot like fascists Like the Nazis we beat in war But the prettiest sight to see Is the Russian flag to be Hanging on your own front door

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas (Enough said)

The Dreidel Song (Banned)

The Twelve Days of Swamp Draining

(final stanza) On the 12th day of swamp draining my Donald gave to meeeee twelllllve ExxonMobil CEOs with ties to Putin! Eleven climate change denialists for EPA! Ten South Carolina governors with no international experience for U.N. ambassador! Nine Guantanamo defenders for Homeland Security! Eight retired neurosurgeons who look way stoned! Seven defense secretaries named “Mad Dog”! Six geriatric bankruptcy tricksters to head Commerce! Five Wall Street insiders for Treasury! Four wives of Mitch McConnell, the senater who dismissed CIA claims of Russian meddling before the election! Three ObamaCare dismantlers! Two mega-political donors named Betsy! And an A.G. who’s anti-liberty (except for guns)!

Frosty the Bannon

Frosty the Bannon, Came to life without a soul With his Breitbart tripe and talon toes And a heart made out of coal Frosty the Bannon Is a scary tale quite insane He was made of ice It was his advice That saved Donald Trump’s campaign. There must have been some magic In that swastika he found For when he placed it on his head His shirt got very brown Oh, Frosty the Bannon Eyes as dead as dead can be And the children yell “Frosty go to Hell. Get your cold dead hands off me!” Trumpety trump, trump Trumpety trump, trump Let’s melt Frosty like this Trumpety trump, trump Trumpety trump, trump Stand back and take a . . .

By Walt Shepperd

KIRST-CASE SCENARIOS FOR THE SALT CITY Whenever the topic of what it would take to write the Syracuse book comes up for discussion, an aging gruff voice from the back of the room will contend, “If you didn’t go to high school here, you will never understand Syracuse.” Take into consideration the power realities, or lack thereof, of interaction, or lack thereof, between groups defined access to neighborhoods, economic opportunity and the benefits accruing to a test market city. Then the manufacturing began to slip away, and Syracuse became a working-class city with all the factories closed. Many of the power realities slipped into rhetoric from those who could keep up a good front. Now a contender for the book, The Soul of Central New York: Syracuse Stories by Sean Kirst (Syracuse University Press; 361 pages; hardcover, $59.95, paperback, $29.95; ebook 978-0-8156-5380-6) combines 87 columns written by the former Post-Standard columnist between August 1991 and October 2015. Kirst etches word portraits of people and places to document what Syracuse has produced, a mosaic fashioned from pieces of the Salt City puzzle. “Today, Syracuse is a city at the crossroads,” he notes, “a city of beauty, a city with a downtown enjoying its greatest

revival in more than 40 years — but a city very much in pain.” Much of the pain is felt by those who remember a moment when General Electric employed 19,000 people here. But there are also points of pride. “It is a city of vibrant heritage,” Kirst observes, “a city whose people have a keen and guilty sense of humor. Syracuse was a crucible of the abolitionist and women’s rights movements in the 19th century. Innovations great and small — the two-speed bicycle gear, Smith-Corona typewriters, basketball’s game-changing 24-second clock, Carrier air conditioners, even the vision for early education that would become Head Start — came out of Syracuse.” But the real deal, Kirst maintains, is our neighbors. The portraits he paints in print include many well known, but all who exhibit love, courage and resilience. Often, however, their introduction is ironic. Hall of Fame basketball coach Jim Boeheim dodging a cinderblock flying at his windshield on Route 81, reflecting on growing up in a funeral home, becoming a mover and shaker for Coaches Against Cancer. Jim Brown actually wanting the number 33 for his Syracuse University football uniform, but, finding it already taken, settling on 44. Nancy Duffy selling the St. Patrick’s Parade beyond the Tipperary Hill Irish stronghold to downtown Syracuse’s main street. Kirst’s book is enhanced by his critical examination of his genre. “Over the years,” he reflects, “I have gone into countless classrooms and lecture halls

to speak to young people about writing, and they often ask me a simple question: What does it mean to write a column? That can be difficult to answer, because the columnists come in so many different flavors: Some use language as a powerful flamethrower, a means of fierce opinion. Some write thoughtful, layered discourse on the great social or political topics of the day.” Ultimately, Kirst sees himself as using descriptive narrative or personal essays to build a case. SNT

Walt Shepperd, our man on the street since the Nixon administration. Michael Davis photo

HONORING OUR URBAN LEGEND Walt Shepperd was mingling at the Dec. 8 CNY Book Awards reception when organizers started announcing the year’s final award. As one-time Syracuse New Times editor Bob Herz read about the awardee, people turned to look at Shepperd. The longtime New Times writer and local free spirit listened, a quizzical look on his face until he realized Herz was describing him.

Herz and Stephen Kuusisto, co-editors of Nine Mile magazine, presented Shepperd with the second annual CNY Book Award for Significant Contributions to the Art of Writing and Poetry. Herz called Shepperd “a renaissance man in the arts” who is a “poet, a director, a reporter, a columnist, a creator and operator of an arts group for youth, a performer, a pioneer in the art of words, an activist, a visionary.” Caught off guard, Shepperd was uncharacteristically quiet as he accepted the surprise award. But he was character-

FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

istically observant and sharply critical as he looked at the crowd of mostly white people of a certain age gathered in the CNY Philanthropy Center’s ballroom. “I gotta confess I’m kinda uncomfortable here,” Shepperd said. “It’s sort of like the Republican Convention: white guys over 60. I’m going to ask you next year to bring someone who doesn’t look like you. That will be honoring the community.” Shepperd has been agitating through written and spoken word for decades, advocating for a diverse, just and inclusive community. He’s been associated with the Syracuse New Times since 1971, writing columns and features about the region’s major players as well as the community’s voiceless. Among his editorial achievements was founding the former Nickel Review, praised by then-Village Voice media critic Nat Hentoff as among the top three alternative papers of the 1960s. Shepperd’s editorial output (not to mention his eccentricities) are well-known in the region. He has received numerous editorial awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Syracuse Press Club. Herz also praised Shepperd’s commitment to the Media Unit, which he founded in 1976. The Media Unit is an award-winning performance and production program for Central New York teens. Shepperd’s career “has been dedicated to building a better community through application of his vast talents, his gift for

Dave Lenweaver, a chef and former ad agency owner and designer who lives in Apulia, has introduced a trio of blended balsamic vinegars to add flavor to vinaigrettes and salads, and in cooking. The Clean Slate Farm products take their name from the “farmette’’ where Lenweaver and his wife, Joanne, live, grow organic vegetables and fruit, keep bees and chickens — and cook. Maple Balsamic is made with some of their favorite local syrups and the Ginger Balsamic is created with locally sourced organic ginger — try it in

a stir-fry instead of soy sauce, Lenweaver suggests. The third variety is Mission Fig, because sweet figs and tangy balsamic vinegar work so well together. Find the vinegars ($9.95) at Chuck Hafner’s Farm Market and Garden Center in North Syr-

OPPOSITES ATTRACT IN DISNEY MUSICAL TREAT

nce upon a time everybody thought the story of Beauty and the Beast was French. Most versions of the story anyone reads are taken from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s very long text of 1740. Her retelling has deep ancient roots, going back possibly thousands of years, with several antecedents in classical mythology.

The story is fraught with meaning that has long kept it popular. But forget most of that. In 1991 the Walt Disney company produced a musical version that became the first animated feature to be nominated for an Academy Award. That has made all the difference. When the 1994 Disney stage version is produced today, we know going in that all the original Leprince de Beaumont trappings, like the rose symbolism, will still be at the core of the drama. Because “Belle” means “beauty” in French, any actress taking the role must pass a stringent looks-and-vocals test.

Caroline Strang and Temar Underwood

For the Redhouse Arts Center’s sellout engagement, Caroline Strang, a young Equity player up from North Carolina, is indeed fair of face and brings extensive musical credits, including Stephen Sondheim. She’s in her glory with the score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, starting with the first act’s numbers about herself. She moves like a dancer and displays a quick sense of humor. Temar Underwood, an Equity player from Manhattan, has been a Redhouse favorite going back to Odysseus DOA. His body set and facial expressions, along with Katharine Tarkulich’s costumes, make him look like someone to run from in the first act, but by the time we get to his baritone in “How Long Must This Go On?” and “If I Love Her,” we know there’s a prince looming in the chrysalis. His culmination is the love duet, “Transformation,” near the end of the second act. All of that goes most affectingly. That means veteran director Patrick Burns, last seen as the filmmaker in last spring’s Ragtime, must spend all his energy on the Disney accoutrements, the talking-singing household implements and the ensemble of dancing knives and forks. The effort is well-invested. Almost everyone other than the lovers provides endless fun. Tops among these is an athletic newcomer from New York City named Cameron Smith as Gaston, the rejected bully suitor of Belle. As written, Gaston is a caricature of a self-obsessed, hyper-masculine blockhead. It’s not a role calling for subtlety. Of course, Belle has to be disgusted by Gaston’s excesses, but Smith’s exuberance — once leaping up a yard backward to find a seat on a bar — allow him to steal almost every scene he’s in. Around the Beast’s castle we find a cast of vaudevillians passing themselves off

as household implements. The creature in charge is the tightly wound mantle clock (there’s a wind key in his back) named Cogsworth (Steve Hayes). In other productions Cogsworth is played as Arthur Treacher, one of Hollywood’s stock Englishmen a generation ago, a gag lost on contemporary audiences. Hayes, a New York City Equity player often seen at the Redhouse, views him as a sputtering Bert Lahr with a British accent. Opposite him is Lumiere (Jason Timothy), the maître d’ of the castle, a candelabra who talks exactly like Maurice Chevalier. Timothy, a familiar face at the Redhouse (Ragtime), has never been better. The two women in the household are Babette (Cathy Butler), a feather duster. She’s the saucy maid of the castle who’s likely to catch Lumiere’s eye. Holding more sway is the cook, Mrs. Potts (Kathy Burke Egloff), whose extended arm impersonates a teapot. One of the hardest-working players in community theater, Egloff stepped up to a bigger role in September’s Avenue Q. Her Mrs. Potts has much musical responsibility here, as she delivers the title song with elegance and affect. Her young son, Chip (Alex Bronchetti), is a teacup. One more household object is allowed theft of scenes, and that’s the wardrobe, Madame de la Grande Bouche (Janet Engle). Most of the audience can translate her name as “big mouth,” but Engle’s witty delivery is pointed and delicate rather than broad. Tim Brown’s scenic designs include rotating panels that take us from indoors to outdoors with the turn of a flange. Brittany Jenkins’ choreography moves all the Disney magic in a small space. And music director Jacob Carll leads an ensemble of 10 players through a score that will stay with audiences through the holidays. SNT

N SE For HUES

Colorblind muralist Michael Weismore relies on instinct for his artworks

By Hailey Clark ichael Weismore sat on the sofa next to his dad, in his usual recliner, cocked back, with the remote in his hand. “Put the football game on, Dad,” Michael said.

“Hold on a minute,” his father said. “I’m watching this guy paint.” That guy was Bob Ross, the famous landscape artist with the large ’fro, who hosted the long-running PBS series The Joy of Painting. In this episode he was painting a cliff scene with a roaring river, as Ross pressed white and blue pigments to outline a wave. “I can do that,” Michael Weismore said. “You can’t do that,” his dad said.“I can do that,” Weismore insisted. That moment was eight years ago, when Michael Weismore, 34, wanted to become an artist. Weismore did not go to art school, although he learned perspective, light and color theories from studying art books he collected over the years. Color theory did not come easily to Weismore, and not because there are thousands of hues to learn. Weismore cannot see color at all. Diagnosed with colorblindness at age 8, Weismore has trouble seeing most hues. “I cannot tell one color from another: browns, greens, blues and purples. I cannot tell between red and orange.” Instead, Weismore distinguishes colors from how light or dark they are. He can also see colors that are more vibrant.

12.14.16 - 12.20.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

During an interview, he points to a dinosaur he created in his son’s bedroom. “I can tell this color is a bright blue,” Weismore said, noting the dinosaur’s spots. “But I can’t tell what this is,” pointing to the coral color on the rest of the dinosaur’s body. Weismore went to Onondaga Community College to study communications, but changed career paths to become a painter. Weismore’s first pieces were portraits on canvas. He brought his first paintings to the Central New York Regional Market in 2008. Out of the 25 pieces, 22 sold. “I was shocked that I left there with a wad of cash,” Weismore said. Weismore is influenced by children’s television shows and toys. He said his pieces evoke a jovial vibe because of the lively colors he uses. Although Weismore is colorblind, viewers cannot distinguish it in his work. It is not always pure luck, however, as he receives help from his family. “I ask a lot of questions,” Weismore said. “I text my wife a picture of what I am painting and read the (paint) labels.” Weismore’s colorblindness has not stopped him from pursuing his art. His frequent buyers wanted larger works such as murals, but Weismore was initially reluctant. Finally giving in for a

Pulaski client, Weismore created his first mural for a nursery. “It was just like painting on a small canvas,” Weismore recalled, “but just on a bigger scale.” After finishing OCC, Weismore worked at Bank of America while starting his small portrait business. Five years later, Weismore said business picked up so much that there was no need for his second job: He was a full-time artist. Weismore was referred by his clients to organizations and businesses seeking artwork, such as the mural that adorns the Arctic Island ice cream shop in Syracuse’s Valley section. He also donates many of his murals, such as the ones he created for the Sunshine Campus. Tracey Dreisbach, executive director of the summer camp created by the Rochester Rotary for children with disabilities, recruited Weismore to paint inside the new sensory building for Sunshine’s participants. Weismore created four murals: a mountainous landscape, an aquarium scene, a superhero turtle, and a tree scape. The children go to the sensory building to regroup from a stimulating day at camp, Dreisbach said. “The mountain mural soothes the kids after a long day of activities.” For the Oneida Family YMCA, multiteam leader Stephanie Neff enlisted Weismore after the organization’s CEO noticed one of Weismore’s murals at a neighboring business. Weismore created an underwater scene of people swimming inside the Y’s pool-viewing room. The children in the painting had goggles on, Neff added. “(The mural) brightened up the space and gave it life,” Neff said. “Our members were excited about it because it was something new and beautiful.” Weismore completed the mural, “Space Odyssey,” for the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center in July. Linda Cleary, executive director of the center, found

Weismore through a recommendation by Onondaga County Sheriff Eugene Conway. The mural is an outer-space scene, inspired by the center’s star logo and incorporates vinyl stars that the children can draw on and stick onto the wall. “They (the children) are thrilled,” Cleary said. “We have law enforcement officers who work with us that help the kids put stars onto the walls.” The positive reactions from the children have prompted Cleary to invite Weismore back to paint the center’s four other interviewing rooms in the center, each with a different motif. Weismore is not just a muralist. Recently dabbling in sculpture, Weismore uses concrete as his medium. He has an abstract three-dimensional sculpture of a mermaid sitting on a rock in his backyard. Mainly focusing on his murals, Weismore said he is sculpting only as a personal project. Weismore’s services can be found through his website, cnymurals.com. He has painted all of his projects alone but said he enjoys receiving help with color choices when he cannot distinguish one from another. The artist said he works with his own knowledge and imagination to pick the right colors. “You can work around it,” Weismore said. “Like you know grass is green.” SNT Hailey Clark is a graduate student in the Goldring Arts Journalism program at Syracuse University.

GEORGETOWN GAME RENEWS BIG EAST FLASHBACK

yracuse University freshman forward Taurean Thompson, who was 2 years old when John Thompson retired as Georgetown’s coach, was asked if he had ever watched ESPN’s 30 for 30: Requiem for the Big East.

“No,” said Thompson, who then perked up when told the 2014 documentary included footage of a much younger Jim Boeheim throwing a chair at a news conference following yet another heated SU-Georgetown game. “Now,” Thompson said, smiling, “I might just go home and watch it.” With Georgetown heading to the Carrier Dome for a noon game on Saturday, Dec. 17, Requiem for the Big East should be a prerequisite this week for all Orange players who haven’t watched. The show about the heyday of the Big East Conference doesn’t cover all the Syracuse-Georgetown highlights, but enough to give the current players a sense of why Saturday’s game means so much to this community and why 30,000 or so fans are expected to attend. Orange freshman guard Tyus Battle did watch Requiem for the Big East and said he knows “the fans and Coach Boeheim are going to be fired up.” “It’s a huge Big East rivalry,” Battle said. “It’s going to be competitive, physical, and that’s what I love. I know our fans are going to pack the Dome and the stadium’s going to be electric. We have to just come out here and be ready to play. It’s going to be a good challenge for us and I think we’ll be ready.” They had better be. Because while this game is a celebration of the past and will include a tribute to former Orange star Pearl Washington, it’s also an important game for SU and one the players can’t

12.14.16 - 12.20.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

take lightly despite Georgetown’s so-so start to this season. Last season, you’ll recall, the Hoyas upset the Orange 79-72 in Washington, D.C., in the first game of Boeheim’s NCAA-imposed nine-game suspension. And in 2013, in their final Big East showdown before SU moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 11 Georgetown defeated No. 8 Syracuse 57-46 before a Carrier Dome crowd of 35,012 — an NCAA on-campus record that has since been broken twice for Syracuse-Duke games at the Dome. That loss to the Hoyas snapped the Orange’s 38-game home winning streak, which was the longest streak in the nation and a Dome record. If that sounds familiar, it should: On Feb. 13, 1980, Georgetown defeated Syracuse 52-50 to end the Orange’s 57-game home winning streak in the final game at Manley Field House. Following the game, Georgetown coach Thompson famously ignited one of the fiercest rivalries in college sports by declaring, “Manley Field House is officially closed!” Thompson’s son, John Thompson III, is now in his 13th year as Georgetown’s coach and owns an 11-7 record against Syracuse. “I expect the atmosphere to be crazy,” SU point guard Frank Howard said. “Big rivalry; you know what’s behind the game. I think if we acknowledge that, it’ll give us a little more juice to play. So I think that we know the stakes, the rivalry, and we’ve got to take care of business at home.” The Orange is 5-3 and can’t afford another non-conference loss to a Georgetown team that lost four of its first six games

but has now won four in a row, albeit against Howard, Coppin State, Elon and LaSalle. The only Orange team with three non-conference losses to make the NCAA Tournament in the last 25 years was last year’s squad that made a miraculous run to the Final Four. “Georgetown struggled a little early on, but we know they’re a good team, they have some good players and I think that would be a huge win for us,” Battle said. “We have to get back on track and that would be a positive step in the right direction.” Syracuse has the week off after thumping Boston University 99-77 this past Saturday, Dec. 10, at the Dome. The Orange is 6-0 against mid- to low-majors but 0-3 against two ranked teams, South Carolina and Wisconsin, and another former Big East rival, Connecticut. What was viewed in the preseason as the Orange’s biggest strength — depth — has become a frustrating puzzle. Boeheim said he’s trying to fit five players (Thompson, Tyler Lydon, Tyler Roberson, DaJuan Coleman and Paschal Chukwu) into the center and power forward positions, while using his other four scholarship players (Howard, Battle, Andrew White and John Gillon) for the point guard, shooting guard and small forward spots. The Orange players have struggled this season with rebounding, their defensive rotations in the 2-3 zone, and spotty offensive performances stemming from, in part, two point guards (sophomore Howard and fifth-year transfer Gillon) who are playing their first full year in Syracuse’s system. “We’re still trying to fit everybody together,” Boeheim said after the Boston University game. “It’s going to take a long time. I think it was foolish for me or anybody to think this was going to happen right away. And it’s still a long ways away from where we need to be.” Perhaps the Georgetown game will provide a spark to help the Orange move closer to where it needs to be. Although the students will be on their holiday break, the fans should be at their loudest for the Hoyas and they’ll be motivated by a halftime ceremony honoring Washington with video highlights of Pearl’s career and a chance to win an authentic “Pearl” long-sleeve shirt like the ones worn by the Orange players during warm-ups throughout the 2015-2016 season. Pearl, who died last spring from brain

cancer, was at the center of some of the biggest Georgetown-Syracuse moments. In January 1985, Washington’s jumper with eight seconds remaining gave SU a 65-63 win over the Hoyas at the Dome — Syracuse’s first win ever over a team ranked first in the AP poll. In that same game, a fan threw an orange at the backboard with Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing at the foul line. Thompson pulled his team from the court and Boeheim had to settle the crowd by speaking over the PA system. In the Big East Tournament in March 1985, Pearl gave Ewing an elbow to the ribs and Ewing retaliated with a wild punch that barely missed Washington. The bench emptied as both players were restrained; the Hoyas won that game to advance to the Big East title game. As Requiem for the Big East shows, that incident was just the second-most famous fight in Georgetown-Syracuse history. In the Big East Tournament championship game in March 1984, Georgetown’s

Michael Graham took a swing at Syracuse’s Andrew Hawkins during the Hoyas’ overtime win. Graham was initially ejected but the refs changed their minds and called only for a two-shot foul. At the post-game news conference, an incensed Boeheim told reporters “the best team did not win tonight” and stormed out, tossing a chair along the way. At 72 and with four Final Fours and a national championship under his belt, Boeheim’s chair-tossing days are probably over . . . probably. But thankfully, the Georgetown-Syracuse series isn’t done, and it’s up to the current generation of players to keep the rivalry alive. “Any teams involved in the old Big East, you know that’s a sensitive subject to a lot of people,” SU’s White said. “Obviously, Syracuse-Georgetown is a well-documented game, and we’re doing a special thing for Pearl, so that’s going to amp it up even more.” SNT

ROOT SHOCK READIES REGGAE RELEASE

oot Shock has been making a joyful noise around Central New York for four years, and this weekend the reggae musicmakers will release their first full-length self-titled album. The CD release party takes place at Funk ’N Waffles Downtown, 307 S. Clinton St., on Saturday, Dec. 17, 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, available at funknwaffles.com. For this CD, band members Jessica Brown, who is the lead singer and songwriter, and guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Phil Grajko bring songs that talk about love of humanity. “I’m really insecure about my songwriting,” Brown says when asked about her lyrical inspiration. “But I’m learning to get out of my comfort zone. I’ve always been really introspective. I’m also empathetic and like hearing other people’s stories. I’m interested in people and the human struggle, daily life, the horrific experiences and the beautiful times and everything in between.” The songs keep a positive beat, always bumping and swaying, but the subject matter also swings between anthems of freedom and dealing with death, between coming together and letting go. “A lot of it is painful stuff I’ve been through,” Brown admits, “but with a hopeful outlook through the struggles. It will get better. It’s only a season.” “Sweet Reunion” talks directly about Brown losing her mother, Sarah, to cancer when she was 20 years old: “You’re still beautiful/ your eyes shine like the sun/ you’re still beautiful/ your spirit comforts everyone/ and though the sad day has come/ I

Advice from the Artist:

will dream about our sweet reunion, our sweet reunion.” “It was traumatizing for me, losing my mom,” Brown says. “But looking at someone’s life, there’s a beauty in both perspectives, beauty and pain coming together. There’s strength in being vulnerable. It’s part of the human experience.” Other songs seem to connect on a universal scale. “‘Freedom’ was about my own personal freedom,” Brown says. “But when you look in the world, there are people who are still enslaved and need freedom, people bound by religious belief or social economics. It can be universal to anyone’s freedom. It’s cool, but also tragic. It’s about breaking through social norms of the past so everyone can be equal in unity.” While Brown’s voice floats above the band, the album also highlights the players building her musical base: bassist Bill Eppel; Fafa Fain on drums and vocals; Grajko on guitar and vocals; keyboardist Nick Kaczmar; guitarist Dan Valvassori; and Jason “Jocko” Randall (who also produced and engineered the band at MoreSound Studio) on percussion and Theremin. “They’re all solid guys,” Brown notes. She describes Eppel as

“Don’t give up. And whatever discouragement you feel, take it mindfully. Don’t let it tear you down. And if you’re stuck, it can be a place where you get to know yourself better as an artist. Play as much as you can, and when anybody invites you up on stage, be well-rounded so you can be part of any group. Get out there as much as possible and don’t give up. Good things will come, I swear.” 12.14.16 - 12.20.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

well-rounded, with more than 20 years of experience playing all types of music; Grajko as a seasoned player with a great voice; and that Valvassori, the newest member, brings different ideas outside the reggae box. Kaczmar originally began as the band’s bassist, then took up keys to fill that void, and African hand-drummer Fain also learned to play behind a drum kit. Randall’s music engineering gifts provide another asset. “He has an amazing ear for music and how to bring out the strengths of an artist,” Brown says. “Some of us had never been in a studio setting before this album and he made us comfortable.” Brown emphasizes that the band is also figuring out how to bring more genres into their sound. “Before playing in a reggae band I thought, ‘It all sounds the same,’” Brown says. “But you can say that with any music style, that all hip-hop sounds the same or all jazz. We’ve studied a lot of reggae, but we listen to a lot of other music. There’s jazz and soul and rhythm’n’blues in there. It’s cool to be able to mix different influences into Root Shock.” Brown, who considers herself more of a jazz and soul singer, got her start performing with local hip-hop group Sophistafunk when she moved to the area from Clayton in 2008. She was working at the Syracuse University Funk ’N Waffles and met Adam Gold, keys player for Sophistafunk and owner of the venue. “Being in front of a crowd of people and learning stage presence and stuff, it was cool for me to learn and grow from,” she says. “I sang in church before that and coffee shops.” The new album captures some of their favorite and most-performed live songs, although Brown insists that new material is already ready to go. She’s also sure to mention what it means to be a woman in her role. “It’s been really empowering for me,” she says. “Discrimination against women is definitely happening in this country. I love all women in Syracuse doing music and bringing their own soul into it. You have to earn it as a female musician. And sometimes I’ll play a festival where there are 10 bands and I’m the only female. There’s almost more pressure to be the best that you can be. Within Root Shock, we’re all equal. There is no ego in Root Shock and we keep each other in check. And as a woman, we press on and we devour.” SNT

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

om Tartaro is circulation director for the Syracuse New Times and Family Times. He supervises a group of 13 freelance drivers and with them delivers publications to newsstands throughout Onondaga County and parts of Oswego, Madison, Oneida, Cayuga and Cortland counties. Tom has worked as a driver for the Syracuse New Times for some 10 years and became circulation director two years ago. However, Tom was chosen as Employee of the Month because his job title doesn’t actually matter; he always does whatever needs doing, whether it’s assisting people who visit the office or helping to clean up around the building. He is the definition of a team player. If a customer asks for additional copies of the New Times or Family Times, Tom brings

those papers personally before the end of the day. He’s helped increase the circulation of the Syracuse New Times by studying newsstands and figuring out where the demand for newspapers is highest and making sure those racks are always full. Always upbeat, friendly and helpful, Tom is what used to be known as a stand-up guy; he is trustworthy, loyal and devoted to the company, the drivers he supervises, his fellow employees, customers and community members.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “We are torn

between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange,” wrote author Carson McCullers. Are you ready to give that adage a twist, Taurus? In the coming weeks, I think you should search for foreign and strange qualities in your familiar world. Such a quest may initially feel odd, but will ultimately be healthy and interesting. It will also be good preparation for the next chapter of your life, when you will saunter out into unknown territory and find ways to feel at home there.

be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” As true as her words might be for most of us much of the time, I suspect they don’t apply to you right now. This is one of those rare moments when feeling total certainty is justified. Your vision is extra-clear and farseeing. Your good humor and expansive spirit will ensure that you stay humble. As you take leap after leap, you’ll be surrounded by light.

your own imagination, somebody else is going to use it for you,” said writer Ronald Sukenick. That’s always true, but it will be especially important for you to keep in mind in 2017. You Geminis will have an unparalleled power to enlarge, refine and tap into your imagination. You’ll be blessed with the motivation and ingenuity to make it work for you in new ways, which could enable you to accomplish marvelous feats of creativity and self-transformation. Now here’s a warning: If you DON’T use your willpower to take advantage of these potentials, your imagination will be subject to atrophy and colonization.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Why are Australian sand wasps so skilled at finding their way back home after being out all day? Here’s their trick: When they first leave the nest each morning, they fly backward, imprinting on their memory banks the sights they will look for when they return later. Furthermore, their exiting flight path is a slow and systematic zigzag pattern that orients them from multiple directions. I recommend that you draw inspiration from the sand wasps in 2017, Cancerian. One of your important tasks will be to keep finding your way back to your spiritual home, over and over again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Vault 21, a restaurant in Dunedin, New Zealand, serves sautéed locusts. For $5, patrons receive a plate of five. The menu refers to the dish not as “Oily Sizzling Grasshoppers,” but rather as “Sky Prawns.” Satisfied customers know exactly what they’re eating, and some say the taste does indeed resemble prawns. I bring this to your attention, Leo, because it illustrates a talent you will have in abundance during 2017: re-branding. You’ll know how to maximize the attractiveness and desirability of things by presenting them in the best possible light. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The literal translation of the German word Kummerspeck is “grief bacon.” It refers to the weight gained by people who, while wallowing in self-pity, eat an excess of comfort food. I know more than a few Virgos who have been flirting with this development lately, although the trigger seems to be self-doubt as much as self-pity. In any case, here’s the good news: The trend is about to flip. A flow of agreeable adventures is due to begin soon. You’ll be prodded by fun challenges and provocative stimuli that will boost your confidence and discourage Kummerspeck. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable,” wrote journalist Brenda Ueland. Pause for a moment and fully take in that fact, Libra. It’s breathtaking and daunting. What a huge responsibility it is to be absolutely unique. In fact, it’s so monumental that you may

creature that you are? I dare you to more fully acknowledge and express your singular destiny. Start today!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “To dream . . . to dream has been the business of my life,” wrote author Edgar Allan Poe. I don’t expect you to match his devotion to dreams in 2017, Scorpio, but I do hope you will become more deeply engaged with your waking fantasies and the stories that unfold as you lie sleeping. Why? Because your usual approaches to gathering useful information won’t be sufficient. To be successful, both in the spiritual and worldly senses, you’ll need extra access to perspectives that come from beyond your rational mind. Here’s a good motto for you in 2017: “I am a lavish and practical dreamer.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Physicist Stephen Hawking is skeptical of the hypothesis that humans may someday be able to travel through time. To jokingly dramatize his belief, he threw a party for time travelers from the future. Sadly, not a single chrononaut showed up to enjoy the champagne and hors d’oeuvres Hawking had prepared. Despite this discouraging evidence, I guarantee that you will have the potential to meet with Future Versions of You on a regular basis during the next nine months. These encounters are likely to be metaphorical or dreamlike rather than literal, but they will provide valuable information as you make decisions that affect your destiny for years to come. The first of these heart-to-hearts should come very soon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) During these

last few weeks, you may have sometimes felt like smashing holes in the wall with your head, or dragging precious keepsakes into the middle of the street and setting them on fire, or delivering boxes full of garbage to people who don’t appreciate you as much as they should. I hope you abstained from doing things like that. Now here are some prescriptions to help you graduate from unproductive impulses: Make or find a symbol of one of your mental blocks, and bash it to pieces with a hammer; clean and polish precious keepsakes, and perform rituals to reinvigorate your love for them; take as many trips to the dump as necessary to remove the congestion, dross and rot from your environment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Singer-songwriter Tom Waits has a distinctive voice. One fan described it this way: “Like how you’d sound if you drank a quart of bourbon, smoked a pack of cigarettes and swallowed a pack of razor blades. Late at night. After not sleeping for three days.” Luckily, Waits doesn’t have to actually do any of those self-destructive things to achieve his unique tone. In fact, he’s wealthy from selling his music, and has three kids with a woman to whom he’s been married for 36 years. I foresee a similar potential for you in the coming weeks and months. You may be able to capitalize on your harmless weirdness; to earn rewards by expressing your charming eccentricities; to be both strange and popular. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Was punk rock born on June 4, 1976? A fledgling band known as the Sex Pistols played that night for a crowd of 40 people at a small venue in Manchester, England. Among the audience members was Morrissey, who got so inspired that he started his own band, The Smiths. Also in attendance was a rowdy guy who would soon launch the band Joy Division, despite the fact that he had never played an instrument. The men who would later form The Buzzcocks also saw the performance by Johnny Rotten and his crew. According to music critic David Nolan, these future pioneers came away from the June 4 show with the conclusion, “You don’t have to be a virtuoso or a musical genius to be in a band; anyone can do it.” I see parallels between this seminal event and your life in the coming weeks.
