NEWS WEIRD By Chuck Shepherd

Second-Amendment Follies

In November, an arranged custody swap of a child from one grandmother to another in a Wal-Mart parking lot near Dallas ended when both ladies pulled guns and started firing. One granny was hit in the neck and the other arrested after she also fired at an off-duty officer trying to calm things down. (KDFW-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth)

Groundbreaking Legal Work

In October, a court in Australia’s Victoria state began considering an appeal on whether three deaf people might be too intellectually challenged to have planned a murder. The prosecutor offered surveillance video of the three in a lobby planning the murder’s details via sign language as they waited for an elevator to take them up to the eventual crime scene.

Government in Action

New York City’s Department of Parks and Recreation has completed its twoyear project of assigning ID numbers, with arboreal characteristics, to every one of the 685,781 trees in the city’s ﬁve boroughs. More than 2,300 volunteers walked the streets, then posted each tree’s location, measurements, Google Street View image and ecological beneﬁts (rainwater retained, air pollution reduced) for the surrounding neighborhoods. Privacy activists hope the National Security Agency is not inspired by this. (Architecture Daily)

Sole Man

A note in The New York Times in October mentioned a website that comprehensively covers everything worth knowing and wondering about shoelaces. Ian’s Shoelace Site shows, discusses and rates lacing methods, how to mix lace colors, how to tie (comparing methods, variations and ratings), lengths of laces (how to calculate, which formulas to use, what to do with excess lengths), “granny knots,” aglet repair and much more, all neatly laid out in dozens of foolproof drawings for the shoelace-challenged.

Electoral College Sweep Weep

Although the presidential election of 2016 was certainly more volatile than usual, one reaction to the outcome was the apparent ease with which some in America’s next generation of college-trained leaders were sidelined by self-described emotional pain. The Nov. 9 Wall Street Journal reported that special attention was given by administrators at Tufts University, the University of Kansas and Cornell University, among other places, to providing opportunities for their young adults to “grieve” over the election and seek emotional support, such as use of “therapy dogs” in Kansas and, at the

The model being worked on had been made up with a swollen face and faked bruises. Said the host, “We hope these beauty tips will help (victims) carry on with your daily life.” The program aired Nov. 23, two days before International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. (The Guardian, London)

Recurring Themes

University of Michigan, the availability of Play-Doh and coloring books for distraction.

Irony Defined

The county executive in Cleveland, Ohio, complained in November of a lack of funds, because the county’s credit is “maxed out,” for necessary renovations to its well-known sports and concert venue, the Quicken Loans Arena. (Cleveland Scene)

Blood Drive

In November, after a companion asked Victoria Vanatter, 19, what blood-sucking was like, she let him slice her arm with a razor to have a taste, but the two then argued, and Vanatter allegedly grabbed a knife and slashed him for real. Police in Springﬁeld, Mo., arrested her after both people were stitched up at a hospital. (Springﬁeld News Leader)

Missing The Point

The most recent city to schedule a civic-minded conference with community leaders to discuss options for affordable, accessible housing in a meeting place that was highly unfriendly to the

non-ambulatory was Toronto, in November. The ﬁrst proposed site required a seven-step walk-up, but following complaints, ofﬁcials relocated it — to a building whose only restroom was in the elevator-free basement. (Toronto Star)

Questionable Judgments

The Space World theme park in Kitakyushu, Japan, opened a popular ice-skating rink in November that was popular with visitors, but was forced to close it two weeks later for being hugely unpopular with social media critics, according to CNN. The park had placed 5,000 fish and other sea animals in the ice deck of its “Freezing Port” rink so that skaters could look down as they glided along, gazing at marvels of nature: all dead in advance, of course, and purchased from a fish market. Nonetheless, the park manager apologized for grossing out so many people and closed the exhibit, melting the ice and conducting an “appropriate religious service” for the fishes’ souls. The government-run Channel 2M in Morocco apologized for a segment of its daily TV program Sabahiyat that featured a makeup artist demonstrating techniques for obscuring blemishes on women subjected to domestic violence.

Add goat horns to the “religious covering” items permitted to be worn in government identiﬁcation cards. It took Mr. Phelan MoonSong of Millinocket, Maine, two trips to the BMV, but his ID, after his name change, was ﬁnally approved in December, based on his “Paganism” religion, according to Portland’s WGME-TV. In December, a 21-year-old man became the most recent to fall to his death during a roadside “pit stop.” Four passengers alighted from a car on the side of Interstate 15 near Escondido, Calif.; two urinators returned without incident, and a third also fell about 40 feet but survived, reported the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Panic Button

Ricky Berry and his roommate walked in to a CVS store in Richmond, Va., in November to ask if it carried sliced cheese but were told no. Minutes later, all the employees walked to the back of the store, hid in a locked room, and called the police. Berry and pal, and a third customer (with a toothache and desperately needing Orajel), were bewildered by the empty store until a Richmond police ofﬁcer arrived. After observing that the three customers appeared nonthreatening, he mused along with Berry that “this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start.” WRICTV reported later that the employee who panicked and called police will “possibly” need retraining.

A CASE OF YELLOW JOURNALISM

n a ﬂash, 45 years vanish. I’m right back in the principal’s ofﬁce. I’m busted.

“Take your coat off,” says Mrs. Zerrillo, the principal at Tecumseh Elementary School in DeWitt. “You won’t be going out for recess.” She gestures for me to sit in a tiny wooden chair of shame and explain myself. The fact that both my daughters attended Tecumseh buys me nothing but added humiliation. The unspoken question in the room: How could the father of two lovely, young girls have done . . . this? I’m so scared I need to pee, which, ironically, is how this whole matter began back in 1971. Let me explain. Please. A month ago my mom fell ill, and I found myself with the sad, thankless task of clearing out her apartment in Seattle. While sifting through the piles of artifacts, photos, letters, holiday cards and on and on, I came across the chilling document shown here, written under duress when I was a fourth-grader at Seattle’s nowclosed Lake City Elementary. Dear Mom and Dad, Today I went to the bathroom out the lavitory (cq) window. I’m sorry, your son, Jeff Kramer P.S. I won’t do it again. promise Just so you have the complete visual, the “lavitory” was on the second ﬂoor.

Our principal in those days was Merritt Des Voigne, a dapper, bespectacled little man with a twinkle in his eye to soften an otherwise no-nonsense demeanor. He ordered me to write the letter after Boyd Wilkins, a friend, classmate and leading instigator of countless boys room aerial wizz-a-thons, walked in and found me practicing on my own. Ever alert for opportunities to deflect attention from his own mischievous ways, Boyd affected the traumatized look of an innocent who has just witnessed a creepy clown in a trench coat mounting a goat. He promptly ratted me out to a teaching assistant. From there it was a short trip to the principal’s office. I was no stranger to that setting, but this time it felt more serious. Once I finished the letter, Mr. Des Voigne placed it in his desk and told me he wouldn’t mail it home if I refrained from such behavior in the future. I was immensely relieved, so to speak. It’s probable that I was paddled for good measure, but as long as the letter wasn’t going home, I was happy. Except it did go home. Two and a half years later, Mr. Des Voigne was cleaning out his desk at the end of the school year. I had just graduated from the K-6 institution and was gearing up for

junior high in the Fall. On a warm June day I was hanging out in my front yard with a few friends when I heard my mom demand, “Jeff? What’s this?” The principal suggested in an accompanying note that my letter would be good for “the scrap book” I was embarrassed and my mom was bewildered, but there’s a statute of limitations on these things, and I got on with my life. Never did I imagine that — in a foreshadowing of the Internet Age, where unseemly posts can live forever — my parents would save the letter. Yet there it was, in a faded lockbox filled with other family mementos, tucked in a white legal envelope labeled “Jeff’s bits of information.” Perhaps I should have torn up the letter, but curiosity got the best of me and I wondered how a modern principal might handle the same transgression today. A call to 911 followed by a charge of lewd conduct and a six-month suspension? You hear stories about school administrators meting out draconian punishments for seemingly minor offenses, and you wonder. The first few minutes of my meeting with Mrs. Zerrillo did not look promising after I showed her the letter. She listened impassively to my story, about how all the boys were doing it, how it was all Boyd’s idea and how he was a prolific second-floor wizz kid in his own right. “What I hear so far is that you’re talking a lot about what the other student did,” she admonished. “At your age (54), I would expect you to own up to what you did.” Then came the hammer blow: She credited Boyd for identifying inappropriate behavior and reporting it to an adult. “I actually think he did what he was supposed to do,” Mrs. Zerrillo opined. Ouch. The good news is that at Tecumseh at least, this wouldn’t be treated as a federal offense — as long as I was honest, owned up to my behavior and promised to make a better choice next time. (I promise!) “You usually get a one-time pass,” the principal said. Whew. As for Boyd, be assured that no one is enjoying the revival of this scandal more than he. We’ve stayed in touch, so I informed him I’d discovered the letter and I even sent him a photo of it. I guess I was looking for closure, maybe even an apology. I should have known better. “I’m still shocked you made such a poor decision,” Boyd replied. Some things never change. SNT

PERFECTLY FRANK: BOB LUONGO, RIP

FOOD

he Syracuse New Times could not let 2016 slip by without paying tribute to Bob Luongo, better known to most hot dog-loving locals as Bob Barkers. The wiener griller died April 29 at age 76.

By Bill DeLapp

For more than 30 years, Luongo held court during football and basketball games as he parked his portable hot dog stand outside of Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome, at events such as the St. Patrick’s Parade every March, and at various locations such as Gander Mountain, area parks and wherever something was happening, from streetside concerts to summertime car shows. Luongo also ran his longtime Bob Barkers shop at 3712 New Court Road in Lyncourt, which ﬁrst opened in 1964 as a Henry’s hamburger franchise for a 10-year run. Luongo kept the chain’s red, white and green color scheme and simply switched the menu fare. Prior to the Lyncourt location, Luongo also operated an indoor outlet on Park Street near the Regional Market, In a July 2010 Syracuse New Times article, Luongo recalled that he got into the hot dog business literally “by accident”: a 1982 auto mishap derailed his 24-year career pouring cement in the local construction industry, where he claimed to have helped create many of Central New York’s highways and buildings. So he spent $300 to build his ﬁrst hot dog cart and went in front of downtown’s former MONY skyscraper to serve his sizzling tube steaks. “And the rest is history,” he remarked with a twinkle in his eyes. For an even earlier Syracuse New Times article titled “Hot Dog King On a Roll” from Sept. 26, 1984, Luongo dished to writer Roland Sweet about another simple secret to his success. “I saw these hot dog carts downtown and when I bought a few hot dogs, I immediately saw they weren’t

doing it right. The vendors were just handing over hot dogs and taking money, like clerks. I figured I could do better just by adding some personality.” So he started wearing his straw hat while mixing his friendly patter with customers, and they kept coming back for more. Luongo was also a hot dog on the dance floor: At age 17 he was named jitterbug champ at a 1957 statewide competition. He and his partner beat out 97 other couples during a televised competition at the New York State Fair, where Bob Hope and Clayton Moore (a.k.a. the Lone Ranger) served as judges. During his 60s and 70s, Luongo was still a talented hoofer who was a featured contestant during the Syracuse New Times’ Dancing With Our Stars hoedown. He was also a longtime presence at downtown’s Festa Italiana, where he could be seen dancing to the frenzied swing bop of octogenarian Jimmy Cavallo during the Syracuse-bred saxophonist’s annual shows. Alas, Luongo was unable to catch Cavallo’s final Festa Italiana gig in 2015 when the musician’s delayed plane ride squelched his Friday appearance. Nor could Luongo catch Cavallo’s Saturday show, either, because he had to hustle hot dogs at the Dome. Luongo was also a familiar fixture at the Syracuse New Times’ annual Syracuse Area Live Theater awards show. The tuxedoed Luongo, sans coneys, would assist SALT winners as they made their way to the podium. Luongo always banked on fresh franks from Hofmann Sausage, albeit they were

flavor-enhanced by his “special seasoning” that he added to his cooking oil during the grilling process. He also served more than a few notables over the years, and he had anecdotes aplenty to share. “Mayor Lee Alexander once told me, ‘Bob, I’d rather eat a burnt coney from you than the finest steak from a Central New York restaurant,” Luongo recalled with relish. “And Mitch Miller told me, ‘Bob, if you were in New York City selling your hot dogs, Nathan’s would be in real trouble.” In 1984 Luongo remembered his most famous stunt, which was connected to comic Jimmy Durante’s booking at the long-gone Three Rivers Inn in Phoenix. Luongo decided that doing a Frank Sinatra impersonation on the telephone was the best way to meet the Schnozzola: “Jimmy, this is Frank Sinatra,” Luongo began. “Listen, I’m going to be in Buffalo and I’d like to come over and catch your show at the Rivers. Don‘t let anybody know.” “OK, Frank, I won’t. Thanks a million!” Durante replied. “So I went out there and I go up to his dressing room,” Luongo continued. “I said, ‘Is Frank Sinatra coming here tonight?’ and he said, ‘How’d you know that?’ I said, ‘Mr. Durante, Sinatra’s not coming. That was me. I’m a big fan of yours and I just wanted to talk to you,

and I thought the only way to get to see you was to mention Sinatra.’ And he said, ‘What do I care about Sinatra? I want to talk to you!’”

Flavorful stories like that would always accompany a tasty hot dog from Bob Luongo, Central New York’s all-time favorite fast-food vendor. SNT

ART

By Carl Mellor

WORKS APLENTY AT 2016 GALLERIES

uring 2016, the Syracuse art scene featured a slew of group and solo shows discussing varied themes: the environment, David Bowie, depiction of women in artworks, and lots more. The Everson Museum of Art had a full docket, starting with Angela Fraleigh’s one-woman exhibit Between Tongue and Teeth, Marie Lorenz’s Tide and Taxi, and Kindred Beasts, which offered a different approach to the biennial exhibition. In addition, the museum opened a new ceramic gallery incorporating extensive LED lighting, mirrors and new display cases. And D.J. Hellerman became the Everson’s curator. Light Work Gallery hosted exhibits created by Mary Mattingly and Todd Gray, as well as images submitted by the winners of the 2016 Light Work grants. The recipients, from upstate New York, were Lida Suchy, Marion Wilson and

Robert Knight, one of the strongest ﬁelds in recent memory for the awards. Beyond that, the Edgewood Gallery scored with a large selection of Jim Ridlon’s artworks and a group show, Classic Tradition, that displayed Carol Adamec’s sculptures and paintings by Richard Henry and Nikolay Mikushkin. ArtRage Gallery moved from a new exhibition of Robert Shetterly’s portraits to Christine Chinn’s parody-based portrayal of genetically modiﬁed foods to In God’s House: The Photographs of Robert Knight. SU Art Galleries hosted a diverse lineup of exhibits: prints exploring the legacy of Stanley William Hayter; satiric drawings

by Edward Koren, a cartoonist for The New Yorker; and It’s a Wrap! West African Textiles, featuring blankets, clothing and other items that discussed their cultural implications for West African society. In Auburn, the Schweinfurth Gallery presented its annual exhibitions Made in New York and Quilts=Art=Quilts, as well as a group show highlighting emerging artists in Central New York. Other notable group exhibits included Bad As I Wanna Be: Reimaging Black Womanhood at the Community Folk Art Center, and The Almighty Cup, with its display of pieces created across the United States, at the Gandee Gallery. At Syracuse Tech Garden, an exhibition of ﬁgurative and non-ﬁgurative works celebrated the late rock star David Bowie’s memory. Utica’s Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute hosted World Though His Lens, images taken by photographer Steve McCurry in India, Pakistan, Cuba and other countries.

At the Manlius Library, Associated Artists hung its 90th annual juried exhibition. Dowling Art Center, on the other hand, presented its very ﬁrst exhibit in August. Vistas Cubanas encompassed work by artists who migrated from Cuba to Syracuse, by several who still live in Cuba and by others who visited the island nation. Painting, documentary photos and other media all appeared at the new venue on 1633 Hawley Ave. A longtime Armory Square venue, Eureka Crafts, changed its name to the Eureka Company and redesigned its display space. Finally, the local art community mourned the passing of Michael Moody. He was known for paintings referencing inner-city life, for forays into fantasy and for a neighborhood landmark: the mural he painted on a building at the corner of Westcott and South Beech streets.

STAGE

MAKING THE SCENES WITH LOCAL THEATER

nly the fifth artistic director in Syracuse Stage’s 43-year history, Robert M. Hupp arrived in town in late summer and sounded as though he wanted to embrace everything he saw. He settled at Warren Street so he could study local history at the Onondaga Historical Association in every spare moment, and declared that the theater should enhance community. Town and gown can clap hands together. At his previous gig, Arkansas Repertory, Hupp championed original works and a lively local sense of place. Might we soon see the premiere of a major stage drama on life as it has been known in the Salt City? The Jerry Rescue? The rise and fall of Mayor Lee Alexander? Hupp inherits the area’s strongest cultural institution, while previous artistic director Tim Bond left a financially healthier organization than the one he found. Returning to the Pacific Northwest, Bond trades Syracuse blizzards for Seattle drizzle as he becomes head of the drama department at the University of Washington. Across town at the Redhouse Arts Center, the change in artistic regimes was more abrupt, following the unexpected July departure of Stephen Svoboda. His replacement, Joseph C. Walsh, was named in October. He comes with

training in Boston and London and has engaged in such cultural adventures as staging the musical Hairspray at the Cork Opera House in Ireland. Sir Tim Rice showed up in Auburn in June to publicize the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse production of Stuart Brayson’s musicalization of James Jones’ From Here to Eternity. Rice, who turns out to be a champion buff of American pop culture and idiom, wrote the lyrics. A disappointment in its London first-run mounting, Eternity, in director-choreographer Brett Smock’s skilled hands, became one of the company’s most accomplished productions ever. Cortland Repertory Theatre, a renter at its usual venue, the century-old pavilion at Little York Lake, opened CRT Downtown, a permanent home on the city’s main drag, merging the yardage of

a car dealership and a bowling alley. The company now has room to rehearse and a place to store sets and costumes. Not wishing to compete with summer offerings, director Kerby Thompson offered only a few dramas appealing most to niche markets, including Doug Wright’s I Am My Own Wife and arty one-acts by Adam Bock and Conor McPherson. After a year of transition, Ithaca’s Hangar Theatre appointed Michael Barakiva artistic director. He had found gold in Wendy Wasserstein’s last play, Third, generally passed off elsewhere as a dud. Barakiva had worked with the script as the playwright was dying and knew its strengths that other directors overlooked. Barakiva also had an impressive record with Syracuse Stage, helming the 2011 productions The Turn of the Screw and The Clean House.

Our own Robert Moss, popular former head of Syracuse Stage, and a founder of Playwrights Horizon, has been commemorated off-Broadway. The Robert Moss Theatre can be found at 440 Lafayette St., between Astor Place and the Public Theatre in the heart of the East Village. It seats 68. The performer with the most spectacular year was Syracuse University Drama Department senior Ezekiel Edmonds, with a long face evocative of 1930s heartthrob Leslie Howard. He was the ironic lead Fredrik in the black box production of A Little Night Music and a chief bully in Punk Rock. When director-choreography Anthony Salatino convinced management to stage his revival of the Yeston-Kopit Nine at the bigger Archbold main stage rather than the Storch stage, there was Edmonds in the lead as Guido, the Fellini character. During the summer he took supporting roles at Cortland Repertory, delivering an uproarious “Officer Krupke” in West Side Story. In the Syracuse Stage yuletide production of Mary Poppins he appeared about every five minutes in some guise or another, once as the honest Cockney Northbrook pleading for a loan. Along with being a huge hit, Mary Poppins is likely to live on in local lore. In years hence, people will ask, “Did you see that guy dancing upside down in the ceiling?” It was Jonathan Burke as Bert the chimney sweep. Fred Astaire did it with camera trickery in the MGM musical Royal Wedding, but Burke was really hanging upside down. Peter Amster, one of Syracuse Stage’s favorite directors, was here twice, second and more spectacularly with Mary Poppins, wringing laughs out of Julian Fellowes’ often stiff dialogue. Earlier he worked to string together Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. As many audience members had forgotten the anfractuous plot of the novel, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s longest, they could not always follow what was happening on stage. Some marble-mouthed accents did not help, either. Did not matter: Amster’s confidence and elan got people laughing anyway. Timothy Bond’s second-to-last directing assignment at Syracuse Stage was a heartfelt, frequently moving production of Christopher Sergel’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird in February. The schedule for the production was set long before we knew of the existence of Lee’s first draft, Go Set a Watchman, published in late 2015, that presents a very different Atticus Finch. Watchman confirmed Malcolm Gladwell’s scathing critique of the novel published in The New Yorker. Despite being well-received locally, Sergel’s Mockingbird might disappear from the boards, to be replaced by a different adaptation. Bond’s farewell production of Lucas Hnath’s The Christians was an exemplar

of the theatrical values he championed for seven years: real-life struggle, in this case intellectual and spiritual. The central argument had implications for everyone in the audience, including the atheists and agnostics. At the Redhouse, one of director Stephen Svoboda’s finest-ever productions was his last, Ahrens and Flaherty’s Ragtime, with 48 players on stage. As impressive as the out-of-towners were, including baritone Chaz Rose as Coalhouse, some of the top laurels went to local talent: Aubry Ludington Panek as the mother who leaves the nest, with “We Can Never Go Back to Before,” and black-wigged Carmen Viviano-Crafts as the heartless showgirl Evelyn Nesbit in “Crime of the Century.” The Redhouse also mounted two lushly produced Disney musicals: The Little Mermaid in June, at the end of the Svoboda era, and Beauty and the Beast for the holidays after Walsh had taken over. Mermaid featured Thai-born baritone Napat Mingkwanhuen as the Prince and Julia Goretsky as a vicious black octopus. For Beauty, the appropriately gorgeous Caroline Strang came up from North Carolina to give us a silver-voiced Belle, while familiar face Temar Underwood could have frightened small children as the Beast. Company regular Jason Timothy was never better than as the Chevalier-sounding Lumiere in Katherine Tarkulich’s candelabra costume. Following Svoboda’s exit, there was some question of how the company would handle the transition. Thus there was much reassurance on both sides of the footlights with the September success of Avenue Q. True, newcomer director Kate Sullivan Gibbens came up from Texas, but company regulars ensured continuity of quality, especially set designer Tim Brown and sound engineer Tony Vadala. The up-from-the-chorus lead LaRon Grant scored big with the bittersweet, “What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?” Kathy Burke Egloff found her hidden Mae West as Lucy the Slut. If Avenue Q broke ground regarding what puppets might be allowed to say, Robert Askins’ Hand to God at Ithaca’s Kitchen Theatre Company presented creatures that scared the bejesus out of audiences. The concept might have been as old as the great British movie Dead of Night (1945) but was breath-stoppingly effective in the Kitchen’s small space. It was the best moment all year for the company’s favorite player, Karl Gregory. It was also the season where Kitchen honcho Rachel Lampert announced her impending retirement. She revived the cleverest of her original shows, Precious Nonsense. The second act is a scrunched-up running of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance. The first act, a play-within-the-play, is about a down-on-its-luck traveling company rounding up players in a boondocks town to get Pirates up and running. All the music is by Sullivan, but the first act’s lyrics are by Lampert. Although Garrett Heater’s Covey Theatre Company announced it was closing with the farewell production of Hair from summer 2015, his ensemble still commanded the hottest tickets in community theater this year. A reprise of Heater’s original drama Lizzie Borden Took an Axe at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion (aka the Corinthian Club) sold out every seat in advance. More impressive was a reconceived Cabaret last July, under the aegis of Syracuse Summer Theatre at the Mulroy Civic Center’s Bevard Studio space. Heater’s wickedly charming Emcee drew on no antecedent, but Sara Weiler’s Sally Bowles called up comparisons with a young Judi Dench. William Edward White fulfilled a years-long ambition by staging a deeply affecting production of Bernard Pomerance’s The Elephant Man with the Baldwinsville Theatre Guild. Veteran player Alan Stillman, dressed only in a loincloth, without prosthetics, gave the perfor-

mance of a lifetime. Binaifer Dabu, displaying previously untapped sensuality, was an aristocratic woman who understood the Elephant Man’s deepest needs. The year’s best original local work was Len Fonte’s Melagrana, which had been developed in workshop through Armory Square Players before being produced by Central New York Playhouse. American archaeology student Margie Cameron (Natalie Oliver) is charged with murder in Sicily, but she is not Amanda Knox. Instead, she aligns with a creature from classical mythology. 2016 was a smashing year for veteran player Erin Williamson, who is sometimes billed under her married name Sills. She was a tragic, soul-wrenching demagogue in Central New York Playhouse’s Evita. An even greater triumph was the Andrew Lloyd Webber song cycle, Tell Me on A Sunday, done with a consistent British accent, for Rarely Done Productions. This was the first female, one-actor, non-cabaret show on local boards. Abel Searor was the music director for both. In an innovation of director Liam Fitzpatrick, she became one of two Stage Managers in Thornton Wild-

er’s Our Town for Central New York Playhouse. She delivered two radically different women in contrasting one-acts for Rarely Done’s Standing on Ceremony. And there was still time for the bust-revealing de-homosexualizing counselor of Sordid Lives. Straight men in the audience found her persuasion compelling. Some of the loudest screams of laughter this year were found in a production aimed at first- and second-graders: the Gifford Family Playhouse production of Jon Sciezka’s The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. It was when Little Red Running Shorts (Kelsey Rich) realized that there was a quick way of evading the Bid Bad Wolf that storytellers had been avoiding for centuries. Tenor Liam Fitzpatrick was all over the political map this year, first as a shy, red-wigged Thomas Jefferson in 1776 and a few weeks later on the same Central New York Playhouse stage as a scraggly bearded Che Guevara in Evita. His most startling role was playing a bumptious version of himself in Abel Searor’s eyebrow-raising autobiographical cabaret, Gin and Regret. NEXT PAGE syracusenewtimes.com | 12.28.16 - 1.3.17

S TA G E C o n t i n u e d f r o m p a g e 1 1 Sam Shepard might have been heralded as America’s greatest playwright since Eugene O’Neill a while ago, but he has been disappearing from local stages. C.J. Young’s revival of his little-known God of Hell for Rarely Done helped to remind us of his stature. The revival allowed one of the best roles in years for David Simmons as a hard-bitten, enigmatic fugitive, as well as a not-so-innocent farm couple (Trevor Hill and Heather Roach). Stealing scenes scandalously was smiling Justin Bird as a kind of Rotarian Javert. Elsewhere Heather Roach charmed us as the two-faced title character in Central New York Playhouse’s Americanized Witness for the Prosecution. At first she was just the wife of the accused murderer (fresh-faced Daryl Acevedo). Then, heavily disguised, she has to fool everyone, from the cheery defense attorney (Joe Pierce) to the audience in Agatha Christie’s whodunit. Bryck Bergman reprised his 2006 role as family pariah Earl “Brother Boy” Ingham in Rarely Done’s Sordid Lives, jailed for thinking he was Tammy Wynette. Drawing from the Pierrot figure in commedia del’arte, the performance was a masterpiece of pathos and comedy. Dan Rowlands’ gutsy staging of Macbeth as another chapter in The Godfather saga at Central New York Playhouse had minuses (the Weird Sisters as a trio of nuns) and many plusses. The murder of Lady MacDuff (Lynn King) and her son (Collin Dean) was the most shocking scene on any community stage all year. Nathan Faudree’s shirtless title character was heedless and reckless. And getting Katharine Gibson to play Lady Macbeth as a Barbara Stanwyck-type character in a film noir made it stay in the mind all year. Cortland-based director Bill Lee came to Central New York Playhouse to restage the Frank Capra classic It’s a Wonderful Life as, in his own words, “Hamlet of Bedford Falls.” Dark-browed, intense Jordan Glaski blew away memories of ever-boyish Jimmy Stewart. His George Bailey is really asking, “To be or not to be?” on the bridge. His verbal combat with William Edward White’s Dickensian Potter sent sparks out in the audience. In a summer when scalpers were getting more than $1,000 for a ticket to Hamilton on Broadway, Ithaca’s Hangar Theatre brought us Lin-Manuel Miranda’s precursor hit, In the Heights, containing many of the same musical idioms. Surprisingly, the set evoked Sesame Street with diverse Caribbean immigrants. Also at the Hangar, select members of the audience for I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti sat at tables on the edge of the stage. It was an area premiere for the dramatization of the best-selling memoirs of mega-foodie Giulia Melucci. Actress Larissa Oleynik, playing Melucci, prepared a full-course meal (salad, pasta, dessert) as she sardonically recounted the many disappointments in the author’s love life. Before the final curtain, the diners on stage consumed the meal and then applauded both the

performance and the cuisine. Former Hangar artistic director Jen Waldman might have left Ithaca but she did not exit from the scene entirely. She drove up the road to Auburn, scene of many successes at MerryGo-Round Playhouse. She refreshed what can be the ultimate warhorse, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, by stripping it down to the austere essentials choreographer Agnes de Mille struggled with in the wartime premiere. Seventy-three years later, those cowboys can fly again. In other summers the post-Labor Day MGR shows have been stripped-down affairs, since much of the backstage crew had returned to colleges or full-time employment elsewhere. That’s what Tenderly, the area premiere of Janet Yates-Vogt and Mark Friedman’s two-person (Jennifer Swiderski and Scott Guthrie) salute to singer Rosemary Clooney, looked like. But Million Dollar Quartet, about a legendary recording session featuring Carl Perkins (James Bock), Johnny Cash (Justin Figueroa), Jerry Lee Lewis (Noel Carey) and the young Elvis Presley (Luke Linsteadt), had toured nationally and had the gloss of a Famous Artists offering. And D.J. Salisbury’s staging of Smokey Joe’s Café, the tribute to the Jerry Leiber-Mike Stoller pop music catalog, equaled the pizzazz of summertime mainstage productions. In summer 2015, Cortland Repertory Theatre audiences voted on the shows they’d most like to see, which turned out to be A Chorus Line and West Side Story. Both musicals seemed too big for the cozy space at the Little York Pavilion, yet director Nathaniel Shaw knew how to make the most economical use of square footage. Neither production felt cramped and surely gained from being so close to the audience. The effort paid off: Cortland Repertory had the biggest box office in 40 seasons. Cortland Repertory has also been coming up with one Agatha Christie stage work every summer, finding more obscure titles each year. The company struck unexpected gold with the adaptation of a little-known Christie novel, Cards on the Table, which broke many of the author’s conventions. Hercule Poirot, found in the original novel, was replaced by

an intelligent officer of the law. Instead of the usual Christie claustrophobia, action was spread over so many rooms that the set required two turntables to keep them going. Visually, it was one of the most elegant productions in the company’s history. 2016 also had its fair share of curtain calls. Having survived falling cornices and exploding water heaters at Salt City Center for the Performing Arts, composer and accompanist Pat Lotito seemed like she would go on forever. She wrote the most successful locally written musical of all time, Dickens of a Christmas, launched dozens of careers and touched countless lives. A stylish comedienne, especially in edgy material, Caroline Fitzgerald graced dozens of roles for Contemporary Theatre of Syracuse, Le Moyne College and the Redhouse Arts Center (her last was the 2012 show Vigil). She also composed New York Times crossword puzzles, subject of a long-ago Syracuse New Times cover story. David Walker was often asked to play menacing villains, as in The King and I, but his sweet generosity was always near the surface. Donna Stuccio’s original drama Blue Moon (1999) was tailored for him to be the tender hero. A polished character player, Bob Lamson could be an elegant Cambridge don or an exasperated Brooklynite. One of his best roles (three times) was the Job-like Sidney Leonard Lipton in Neil Simon’s God’s Favorite. He also did a wicked Bette Davis. Offstage a prominent lawyer, Patrick Pedro was uproarious as the stiff Narrator in the Talent Company’s last production of The Rocky Horror Show (2012). Mary Syracuse was a regular with the defunct Eastwood Players and also sang the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in many Salt City Center productions of Jesus Christ Superstar. Jonathan Diaz, only 26, a much-loved teacher at the Redhouse, was murdered a few blocks away in Armory Square on Thanksgiving morning. SNT

THE BIZ BUZZ FOR 2016

erhaps more than usual, the 2016 music world seemed to bring extreme ups and downs. Some of the most beloved musical royalty passed away and trends in sales continued to startle the industry. But glimmers of hope, both large and local, keep promising that great music is not dead: It’s only evolving with the times.

I See Dead People: The tunes in rock’n’roll heaven’s clouds must be funkier than ever. The 2016 list of deceased music makers began Jan. 10 with David Bowie, the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famer who sold an estimated 140 million CDs worldwide throughout his career, including Blackstar, released just two days before his death. George Martin, the “fifth Beatle,” left us at age 90 on March 8, while the 1970s-era rock triumvirate Emerson, Lake and Palmer is now down to only percussionist Carl Palmer: Keyboardist and composer Keith Emerson committed suicide on March 11, while singer and bassist Greg Lake succumbed to cancer on Dec. 7. Prince’s death, on April 26 at age 57, seemed to shake the world. The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer left behind a world that’s still in awe of his endless creativity. Just after his death, videos of his performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, along with other heavy hitters like Tom Petty and Steve Winwood, flooded the internet for all to see Prince shred the song to pieces and toss his guitar into thin air. On Nov. 7, the world lost Leonard Cohen, the songwriter known for “Hallelujah” and other masterpieces. The Canadian musician had been inducted into

the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame as well as the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. Wham! singer George Michael shocked fans with his Christmas Day death and Sharon Jones, described as the female James Brown, lost her battle with cancer on Nov. 18. Jones had continued performing like a ball of wild energy up until the end and leaves behind a legacy of hope. Although she didn’t release her first record until she was 40, she proved that passion and talent are ageless. . Road Warriors: Bruce Springsteen remains the king of live shows, even after four decades. The Boss came in as the highest grossing tour of 2016, pulling in $135 million at the box office with 75 dates throughout North America and Europe. Madonna grossed $123.9 million with her Rebel Heart Tour and Beyonce nabbed an incredible $96.9 million from only 18 shows. Among the old guard, the Rolling Stones raked in $83.9 million with just 13 performances. The Bard of Hibbing: Music fans rejoiced on Oct. 13 when Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, which puts him in the company of past winners such as T.S. Eliot and Toni Morrison. At age 75, Dylan was the first musician to receive the award and some regard it as one of the most radical and

divisive choices to date. Many praised the unexpected winner while others were disappointed with the choice of a songwriter above more likely novelists. The nagging question emerged: Do song lyrics hold the same value as poetry and/or novels? Dylan was also the first American to win the award since Morrison in 1993. Hot Times with Tots: Local definitely hasn’t lacked in 2016. The Big Yellow Fellow, a 10-seater, pedal-powered bar-cycle that tours Central New York, became a main attraction around town and at the New York State Fair. Then the Onondaga Creekwalk’s Overpass Fest started bringing crowds out every Wednesday for 14 weeks to enjoy free music in the summertime sunshine along the path between Armory Square and the Inner Harbor. And Infinite Pop, an artisan-run pop-up shop at 410 S. Warren St., gathers local candle makers, artists, photographers, musicians and more to sell their wares. What do all of these events have in common? Michael John Heagerty, voted Best City Advocate/Community Ambassador in the Syracuse New Times’ annual Best of Syracuse awards, is behind them all. “In 2016 my community advocate side really blossomed,” Heagerty notes. “Creative types are my people and they don’t get as many opportunities as they should, so I’ve devoted myself to creating opento-the-public gatherings. New venues for musicians, open-air galleries for artists, all with the same goal: more support for local culture. Isn’t it time we had a department of culture like other cities around the world?” Platters That Matter: The local music scene is as prolific as ever, with musicians and bands releasing new tunes to the world. Two longtime bands, Chris James & Mama G and Root Shock, made their debut CDs this year, and new acts such as Second Line Syracuse dazzled audiences with their New Orleans-powered horns. The Easy Ramblers released the bluegrass-lovers’ dream with Maybe Sometimes and Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman worked together again on the masterpiece I Shook the Tree. Keep an eye on the Syracuse New Times for more Local Hops to let you know about the best of new local releases. SNT

By Walt Shepperd Stephanie Miner, city of Syracuse mayor. Michael Davis photo

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING AHEAD

hree questions were posed to a Central New York trio of political figures. Here are their answers:

What are you most proud of from the past year? Stephanie Miner, city of Syracuse mayor: This year we saw the reopening of the Hotel Syracuse. Not only is this a milestone for Ed Riley and his organization, but for our entire community because we saw the anchor of our southern end of downtown, the grand dame of Syracuse hotels, brought back to life. The building has undergone a beautiful renovation effort and, while a fully modern facility, still retains its historic charm. Importantly, the renovation of the hotel was done with the community in mind and I gladly praise the work of Ed and his partners to ensure construction and hotel jobs went to city residents. Mark English, chair, Onondaga County Democratic Committee: From a strictly local perspective, we helped carry Onondaga County for Hillary Clinton and held our own in a Republican tide year. See the sea of red in surrounding counties on the map of election returns. 12.28.16 - 1.3.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

Thomas V. Dadey Jr., chair, Onondaga County Republican Committee: As the first county chair out of 62 in New York to endorse Donald J. Trump for president back in January, I could not be more pleased that he was elected our 45th president on Nov. 8. What is your biggest challenge in the year ahead? Miner: In the year ahead, I look forward to working on more reforms to ensure our community benefits from inclusive economic development, so that when and if public dollars are expended for a project, it is the people of the city of Syracuse who benefit, not wealthy developers. English: Retain the mayor’s office and Common Council majority in the city, while winning more seats in the County Legislature. I think that we have to maintain a strong Democratic presence in local government in light of the growing issue of consolidation. Dadey: Our challenge and a top priority will be on winning the city of Syracuse mayoral race after nearly 16 ½ years of City Hall being controlled by the Democrats. How do you think a Trump administration will impact local government? Miner: The greatest challenge of the incoming federal administration will stem from the ongoing uncertainty in federal policy. Despite the rhetoric, Trump has not clearly defined his intentions on a host

of policies, including immigration and refugee resettlement, infrastructure, law enforcement, civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and community development block grant funding, among others. What is clear, and I’ve realized from conversations with my colleagues across the country, is that mayors nationwide will still be fierce advocates for their citizens, continuing to organize, forming coalitions, and standing up for what our people need and pushing innovative new approaches to governing despite uncertain and external challenges. English: Despite his populist campaign, Mr. Trump’s initial moves indicate that he will travel a crony capitalist road. The combination of tax increases for working people and more untargeted tax cuts for billionaires and multinational corporations does not bode well for rebuilding our infrastructure, revitalizing public education, or expanding prosperity. Dadey: As a member of the presidential transition team, I am very optimistic that President Trump will have a strong focus on Syracuse, Onondaga County and upstate New York in 2017 and beyond. SNT

lical prophet Habakkuk. As Donatello carved his work-in-progress, he addressed it. “Speak, damn you! Talk to me,” he was heard to say on more than a few occasions. Did the stone respond? Judging from the beauty of the final product, I’d have to say yes. One art critic testified that “Lo Zuccone” is a “sublimely harrowing” tour de force, a triumph of “forceful expression,” and “one of the most important marble sculptures of the 15th century.” I suspect you will have Donatello-like powers of conversation in 2017, Aries. If anyone can communicate creatively with stones -- and rivers and trees and animals and spirits and complicated humans, for that matter -- it’ll be you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) According to Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, “A certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect.” Let’s amend that thought so it’s exactly suitable for your use in 2017. Here’s the new, Taurus-specific version: “A messy, practical, beautiful type of perfection can be realized through a patient, faithful, dogged accumulation of the imperfect.” To live up to the promise of this motto, make damn good use of every partial success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Gemini gymnast Marisa Dick has created a signature move that has never been used by any other gymnast. To start her routine, she leaps up off a springboard and lands on the balance beam doing a full split. The technical term for this bold maneuver is “a change-leg leap to free-cross split sit,” although its informal name is “The Dick Move.” The International Federation of Gymnastics has certified it in its Code of Points, so it’s official. During the coming months, I expect that you will also produce one-of-a-kind innovations in your own sphere. CANCER (June 21-July 22) I hope you will

be as well-grounded in 2017 as you have ever been, maybe even since your past life as a farmer. I trust you will go a long way toward mastering the arts of being earthy, practical and stable. To do this right, however, you should also work on a seemingly paradoxical task: cultivating a vigorous and daring imagination, as perhaps you did in one of your other past lives as an artist. In other words, your ability to succeed in the material world will thrive as you nurture your relationship with fantasy realms, and vice versa. If you want to be the boss of reality, dream big and wild, and vice versa.

of yourself as an artist, you are always working on a major art project: yourself. You may underestimate the creativity you call on as you shape the raw material of your experience into an epic story. Luckily, I’m here to impress upon you the power and the glory of this heroic effort. Is there anything more important? Not for you Leos. And I trust that in 2017 you will take your craftsmanship to the highest level ever. Keep this advice from author Nathan W. Morris in mind: “Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece, after all.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) French painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954) turned out to be one of the supremely influential artists of the 20th century. But he was still struggling to make a living well into his 30s. The public’s apathy toward his work demoralized him. At one point, he visited his dealer to reclaim one of his unsold paintings. It was time to give up on it, he felt, to take it off the market. But when he arrived at the gallery, his dealer informed him that it had finally been bought -- and not by just any art collector, either. Its new owner was Pablo Picasso, an artist whom Matisse revered. I think it’s quite possible you will have comparable experiences in 2017, Virgo. Therefore: Don’t give up on yourself!

that these words are important for you to hear as you prepare for 2017. My sense is that in the past few months, your true self has been making its way back to the heart of life after a time of wandering on the outskirts. Any day now, a long-silent bell will start ringing to herald your full return. Welcome home!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In accordance with your astrological omens for 2017, I’ve taken a poem that Shel Silverstein wrote for kids and made it into your horoscope. It’ll serve as a lighthearted emblem of a challenging but fun task you should attend to in the coming months. Here it is: “I’ve never washed my shadow out in all the time I’ve had it. It was absolutely filthy I supposed, so I peeled it off the wall where it was leaning and stuck it in the washtub with the clothes. I put in soap and bleach and stuff. I let it soak for hours. I wrung it out and hung it out to dry. And whoever would have thunk that it would have gone and shrunk, for now it’s so much littler than I.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Walk your wisdom walk in 2017, Sagittarius. Excite us with your wisdom songs and gaze out at our broken reality with your wisdom eyes. Play your wisdom tricks and crack your wisdom jokes and erupt with your wisdom cures. The world needs you to be a radiant swarm of lovable, unpredictable wisdom! Your future needs you to conjure up a steady stream of wisdom dreams and wisdom exploits! And please note: You don’t have to wait until the wisdom is perfect. You shouldn’t worry about whether it’s supremely practical. Your job is to trust your wisdom gut, to unleash your wisdom cry, to revel in your wisdom magic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As I was ruminating on your astrological omens for 2017, I came across a wildly relevant passage written by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. It conveys a message I encourage you to memorize and repeat at least once a day for the next 365 days. Here it is: “Nothing can hold you back: not your childhood, not the history of a lifetime, not even the very last moment before now. In a moment you can abandon your past. And once abandoned, you can redefine it. If the past was a ring of futility, let it become a wheel of yearning that drives you forward. If the past was a brick wall, let it become a dam to unleash your power.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Naturalist John

Muir regarded nature as his church. For weeks at a time he lived outdoors, communing with the wilderness. Of course he noticed that not many others shared his passion. “Most people are on the world, not in it,” he wrote, “having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them: undiffused, separate and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate.” Is there anything about you that even partially fits that description, Aquarius? If so, I’m pleased to inform you that 2017 will be an excellent year to address the problem. You will have immense potential to become more intimate and tender with all of the component parts of the Great Mystery. What’s the opposite of loneliness?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Seven Chilean

poets were frustrated by their fellow citizens’ apathy toward the art of poetry. They sarcastically dramatized their chagrin by doing a performance for baboons. Authorities at the Santiago Zoo arranged for the poets’ safety, enclosing them in a protective cage within the baboons’ habitat. The audience seemed to be entertained, at times listening in rapt silence and at other times shrieking raucously. I’m sure you can empathize with the poets’ drastic action, Pisces. How many times have you felt you don’t get the appreciation you deserve? But I bet that will change in 2017. You won’t have to resort to performing for baboons.
