KEEPING TABS ON TABBIES

When Victoria Amith, 18, headed to college last fall, she couldn’t take along her beloved cats, Tina and Louise. And her dad, Troy Good, 43, couldn’t keep them at his new apartment in San Jose, California. So rather than abandon them, Good did what any doting daddy would do: He rented them an apartment of their own. Tina and Louise now live the good life in a 400-square-foot studio apartment behind the Willow Glen home of David Callisch, who told The San Jose Mercury News: “They’re very quiet, obviously. The only problem is they stink up the place.” Good pays $1,500 a month rent, and Callisch stops in every day to feed and play with the kitties. Sounds puuuurrrr-fect.

CRIME REPORT

Isaias Garcia, 30, of Garland, Texas, pleaded guilty in a Bridgeport, Connecticut, courtroom on Jan. 10 to reduced charges stemming from a bizarre kidnapping scheme last April. Garcia had abducted a 21-year-old Fairfield man and was demanding $800 in ransom, the man’s aunt and father reported to police on April 6. Police told the aunt to request a photo to guarantee the young man was still alive, and when the photo arrived by text, ctpost.com reported, it showed the victim lying facedown in a bathtub with a 3-foot-long alligator on top of him, mouth open. In a subsequent phone call, the victim told his aunt: “Titi, man they got this alligator on me and they saying that if no money is given they are gonna have him chewing on me.” Police and the FBI were able to trace the phone calls to a hotel room, where Garcia was apprehended. He faces a year in prison.

started when Dickey and his pregnant wife hosted a gender reveal party at which he shot a target containing Tannerite, an explosive substance, and colored powder signifying the child’s gender. When the target exploded, it caught nearby brush on fire, and Dickey immediately reported the wildfire and admitted he had started it. Dickey will pay $220,000 in restitution, and he is expected to keep his job.

BUYER’S MARKET

At a Port Orange, Florida, Walmart on Sept. 28, Tracy Nigh and her 8-year-old daughter were taking a break on a bench inside the store when 81-year-old Hellmuth Kolb approached them and asked if Nigh was married. “He didn’t seem like a threat at first,” Nigh told WKMG-TV, but then Kolb started offering to buy the little girl. “The first amount was $100,000, the second amount was $150,000 and then the final amount was $200,000,” Nigh said. “I then said, ‘No, we have to go.’” They rose to leave, but Kolb grabbed the girl’s wrist and kissed it. Nigh alerted store security, and the encounter was recorded on surveillance video. Another woman reported a similar incident. Kolb

PASSING PARADE

Gender reveal events, in which expectant parents creatively announce the sex of their unborn children, are taking on increasingly more ridiculous and, in some cases, dangerous proportions. To wit: Border Patrol Agent Dennis Dickey, 37, pleaded guilty on Sept. 28 to accidentally starting the April 2017 Sawmill Fire, which burned 47,000 acres in and around Madera Canyon in Arizona, prompting evacuations and closing highways, according to the Arizona Daily Star. It all

was arrested and charged with simple battery and false imprisonment.

APOSTROPHE APOPLEXY

Genevieve Snow, 29, hired a Brooklyn company, Joanna’s Cleaning Service, to spruce up her apartment on Aug. 27. It wasn’t her first transaction with the company, and she let two women in before leaving for work that day. But when one of Snow’s roommates woke up, she found one of the cleaning ladies sitting on the couch, eating. “You know when you’re not supposed to be doing something, people jerk up really quickly? They did that,” the roommate, Kristen Nepomuceno, 28, told The New York Post. Nepomuceno left for work, but when she returned around 5:30 p.m., the apartment was trashed, one of the ladies was gone, and the other was passed out on the kitchen floor next to a smashed spice rack. She quickly left and called police, who arrived to find the cleaning lady sitting on the couch, eating ice cream. “She is hammered, beyond hammered,” Nepomuceno said. New York police refused to file a report, so Snow Jen Sorensen

gave the cleaning service a bad review on Yelp. That’s when the owner of the company Snow had previously used, Joanna Cleaning Service, got in touch to say a former (fired) employee had started Joanna’s Cleaning Service and had taken Snow for a ride. Now Snow can’t get in touch with either Joanna and just wants to find out who’s responsible for the damage so she can sue them.

BURN THIS

Officials in Midway, Arkansas, still don’t know what caused flames to shoot out of a hole in the ground on Sept. 17. Volunteer fire chief Donald Tucker was summoned to private property at the edge of town where the flames were shooting up to 12 feet high, reported the Springfield News-Leader. Tucker inspected the site after the fire subsided and said the 2-foot-diameter hole was about 3 feet deep and made a 45-degree turn at the bottom. “I took a temperature reading of it and it showed 780 degrees inside the hole,” he added, but he couldn’t identify the source of the flames. There are no gas lines nearby, and there was no smell of gas before or during the fire. He also ruled out a meteor strike or flaming space junk. Geologists from the Arkansas Geological Survey inspected the hole and concluded it had been dug by an animal, but they took soil samples for testing. County judge Mickey Pendergrass said Satan had also been ruled out.

HAPPY FEET

Kotaku.com reported on Oct. 3 that gamer Xopher credits the arcade game “Dance Dance Revolution” with restoring his health. Xopher grew up in Arkansas and loved playing DDR at arcades. But when his cardiologist told him he’d have to trim down from his 325 pounds or risk needing a heart transplant, Xopher got serious about the game. He found an “excellently priced” DDR machine on eBay and restored it, starting with just three games a night. Between 2014 and 2018 he got to under 200 pounds: “I’ve gone from a blood pressure of 140/80 to 112/65. I was healthy for the first time in my life.” He also said he’s now playing DDR competitively.

FAMILY VALUES

On the day Ester Price, 95, of Pamplin, Virginia, was admitted to the hospital with an unexplained illness, her son-in-

Staci Tinney of Charleston, West Virginia, was expecting a bank statement when she picked up her mail on Oct. 8, but instead she found just one item in her mailbox: a laminated picture of a llama wearing sunglasses. Tinney’s surveillance video showed “a woman was hanging out of the passenger’s side of (a black pickup) truck, removing things from my mailbox, and looked like she was putting something inside my mailbox,” Tinney said. WCHS reported other neighbors also were missing mail and packages that day. Tinney told reporters the mail thieves claimed to be “handing out wedding invitations,” but she was dubious: “We don’t know anybody who knows a llama personally.” Charleston police are investigating.

SNACK ATTACK

Some people can get pretty territorial about their food. So it appeared in Colleton County, South Carolina, on Sept. 29, when Ryan Dean Langdale, 19, warned his 17-year-old cousin not to eat his salt and vinegar potato chips. “Do not touch my chips, or I’ll shoot you,” Langdale told his cousin, according to a sheriff’s incident report. The Charleston Post and Courier reported Langdale then went into another room, retrieved a rifle and “the rifle went off,” according to the sheriff’s document. Langdale summoned help but told police his cousin had accidentally shot himself while cleaning the rifle. Officers didn’t think the story held up: The pathway of the bullet through the victim’s chest was “impossible” if he had mistakenly shot himself, said sheriff’s Maj. J.W. Chapman. Sure enough, when the victim was questioned after undergoing surgery, he told officers the savory snacks were at the center of the dispute. Langdale surrendered on Oct. 10 and was charged with, among other crimes, attempted murder.

Yury Zhokhov, 41, a factory worker in Donetsk, Russia, was found kneeling in a field in early October with a knife handle sticking out of the top of his head. Zhokhov was conscious, and when questioned by police, he revealed he had stuck the 8-inch blade in himself. He was having trouble breathing through his nose, he explained, and hoped to make another hole he could breathe through. But the knife became stuck, and he couldn’t remove it. Odditycentral.com reports doctors at the local hospital were afraid to touch the knife for fear of killing Zhokhov or causing brain damage. “It was horrific,” a hospital spokesperson told local media. X-rays showed the blade “exactly between the two hemispheres of the brain.” Specialists were called and Zhokhov survived the surgery without apparent brain damage, although surgeons are concerned about infection.

JUST KIDDING

An alert (or nosy) passerby called police on Oct. 10 after seeing staff through the window of a Natwest bank in Birmingham, England, hiding and cowering under their desks. Officers arrived at the bank in hopes of catching a robber red-handed, but instead were told the workers were participating in a team-building game of hide-and-seek. West Midlands Police Chief Inspector Dave Keen tweeted that, although the incident was a misunderstanding, the citizen made “the right call,” reported Metro News.

GOING CONCERN

In Olympic National Park in Washington, the mountain goat population has baaa-llooned to an unnatural 700 or more animals. The park is also becoming more popular with humans, which has led to an unsavory consequence: In their constant quest for salt and other minerals, the goats have developed a strong taste for human urine and sweat left behind by hikers and campers. Goats will lick clothing and paw at the ground where people have urinated or disposed of cooking water, making them a nuisance, according to the National Park Service. Popular Mechanics also reports that the increased likelihood of human-goat interactions has park officials worried, especially since a goat gored a hiker to death in 2010. The answer: Park officials are tagging, blindfolding and airlifting mountain goats to nearby Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, which should be more hospitable to their needs.

law, Jack David Price, 56, kindly brought her a coffee — “not an ordinary event,” according to an investigator. Doctors found signs of meth in her system, reported The News & Advance. Jack Price’s stepdaughter told the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office she suspected he was trying to kill his mother-in-law, and a neighbor said Price had once told him he should “put some meth in her drink,” then claimed to be only kidding. On Oct. 4, Price was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to two felonies.

THINGS THAT MATTER

CURB APPEAL

Congressional term limits can put an end to career politicians in Washington BY LUKE PARSNOW The people of the United States will always disagree on how large a role the federal government should have. But they’re much more likely to find common ground on how long that role should be played out.

At the beginning of this year, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz spearheaded a resolution for a constitutional amendment that would impose term limits for both houses of Congress: two six-year terms for senators and three two-year terms for members of in the House of Representatives. Cruz’s resolution is one of at least nine proposals for term limits that have come forward in the new Congress, all varying in their specific restrictions. After years of dysfunction and historically low job approval ratings, and coming on the heels of the longest government shutdown in American history, there’s no better time to seriously address a problem that’s as old as the republic itself and create a solution that most people already support. We’re taught very early in school that U.S. presidents can only serve two terms. Term limits also exist for governors in

02.20.19 - 02.26.19 | syracusenew times.com

38 states and for mayors in many cities, towns and villages across the country, as well as a slew of other offices at all levels of government. Last year, the Florida state Legislature even came close to putting a referendum on the ballot for establishing term limits for school boards. Why should Congress be the exception? We already live under one of the oldest Congresses in history: It’s a good indication that many of our elected officials have been there for a very long time. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been there for 20 years, while Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has notched 34. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch retired in January as the longest-serving Republican senator, being first elected in 1976. Former Michigan Rep. John Dingell, who died two weeks ago, had the distinction of being the longest serving House member, from 1955 to 2015. While such a long tenure is admirable, it’s hard to imagine having been represented by the same congressman your entire life as you celebrate your 60th birthday. There’s a reason beyond partisan politics why term limits are so prevalent in our representative society. It’s just plain healthy. And there are a lot of ills in our legislative branch that term limits would remedy. Term limits would prevent lawmakers from becoming too entrenched in power in an era when the federal government is becoming more powerful all the time. They would force constant personnel changes to leadership positions, most notably House speaker and Senate majority leader, effectively changing the way government is operated. They would encourage more people to run for office, making races more competitive by cracking down on the immense advantage of incumbency. They would even slow down the influence of partisan gerrymandering. Term limits would help curb corruption by, at some point, terminating the constant need to campaign and raise money. That may actually help our leaders focus on legislating based on what they think is right instead of what is right politically, worrying about their constituents instead of worrying about getting re-elected. They would greatly weaken lobbyists and special interests, who wouldn’t be able to spend years studying officeholders and knowing what gets their attention and their votes. And most important, they would permanently eliminate career politicians and

guarantee a revolving door of fresh faces after so many years instead of decades. The only substantial argument that can be made against term limits is that they would take away valuable experience from such a crucial job and kick out well-intentioned seasoned candidates, therefore eroding the congressional mental capacity and competence. To that, all we have to do is look at the executive branch. In 1951, following Franklin Roosevelt’s unprecedented four presidential elections, the 22nd Amendment — limiting presidents to two terms — was added to the Constitution. But until Roosevelt, no president had ever been elected more than twice. More than just a precedent set by George Washington, it’s not like many never tried. They had either tired of the job, realized the political winds were against them and didn’t try running for another term, or did try and lost. Term limits are healthy for our republic. Until 1951, we more or less set them ourselves for the office of president, and that hasn’t really changed much since. As popular as all were at one point, it’s extremely hard to see Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or Barack Obama winning a third term if it was allowed. Americans have a natural yearning for new leaders before too long. Congress doesn’t get the attention or have the same constituencies as a president does, and therefore plays by a different set of rules to keep themselves in power. Regardless, a February 2018 McLaughlin & Associates poll found that 82 percent of Americans support term limits for Congress. And if losing experienced lawmakers is the sole position against term limits, why do so many other levels of government have them? Cities and states, as well as the presidency, haven’t collapsed yet from constant changes in leadership. There’s no reason to believe Congress would. This is hardly the first time term limits have been debated. They were proposed when the Constitution was being penned in 1787 and on Capitol Hill in 2017. This certainly won’t be the last time, either. Despite their necessity and popularity, term limits unfortunately aren’t likely to become reality any time soon. We know what we’re up against: We’re asking the powerful to give up their power. We never expect that to be easy. SNT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19) In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a drought. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January 1916 and persisted for weeks. Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aries: When you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need. Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Actors Beau Bridg-

es and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck, and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) According to Ed-

ward Barnard’s book New York City Trees, a quarter of the city is shaded by its 5.2 million trees. In other words, one of the most densely populated, frantically active places on the planet has a rich collection of oxygen-generating greenery. There’s even a virgin forest at the upper tip of Manhattan, as well as five botanical gardens and the 843-acre Central Park. Let’s use all this bounty-amid-the-bustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks: refreshing lushness and grace interspersed throughout your busy, hustling rhythm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) As a poet myself, I regard good poetry as highly useful. It can nudge us free of our habitual thoughts and provoke us to see the world in ways we’ve never imagined. On the other hand, it’s not useful in the same way that food and water and sleep are. Most people don’t get sick if they are deprived of poetry. But I want to bring your attention to a poem that is serving a very practical purpose in addition to its inspirational function. Simon Armitage’s poem “In Praise of Air” is on display in an outdoor plaza at Sheffield University. The material it’s printed on is designed to literally remove a potent pollutant from the atmosphere. And what does this have to do with you? I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have an extra capacity to generate blessings that are like Armitage’s poem: useful in both practical and inspirational ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In 1979, psychologist

Dorothy Tennov published her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. She defined her newly coined word “limerence” as a state of adoration that may generate intense, euphoric and obsessive feelings for another person. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Leos are most likely to be visited by this disposition throughout 2019. And you’ll be especially prone to it in the coming weeks. Will that be a good thing or a disruptive thing? It all depends on how determined you are to regard it as a blessing, have fun with it, and enjoy it regardless of whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. I advise you to enjoy the hell out of it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Based in Switzerland, Nestle is the largest food company in the world. Yet it pays just $200 per year to the state of Michigan for the right to suck up 400 million gallons of groundwater, which it bottles and sells at a profit. I nominate this vignette to be your cautionary tale in the coming weeks. How?

BY ROB BREZSNY 1. Make damn sure you are being fairly compensated for your offerings. 2. Don’t allow huge, impersonal forces to exploit your resources. 3. Be tough and discerning, not lax and naïve, as you negotiate deals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Sixteenth-century

Italian artist Daniele da Volterra wasn’t very famous for his own painting and sculpture. The work for which we remember him today is the alterations he made to Michelangelo’s giant fresco “The Last Judgment,” which spreads across an entire wall in the Sistine Chapel. After Michelangelo died, the Catholic Church hired da Volterra to “fix” the scandalous aspects of the people depicted in the master’s work. He painted clothes and leaves over the originals’ genitalia and derrieres. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that we make da Volterra your anti-role model for the coming weeks. Don’t be like him. Don’t engage in cover-ups, censorship or camouflage. Instead, specialize in the opposite: revelations, unmaskings and expositions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What is the qual-

ity of your access to life’s basic necessities? How well do you fulfill your need for good food and drink, effective exercise, deep sleep, thorough relaxation, mental stimulation, soulful intimacy, a sense of meaningfulness, nourishing beauty and rich feelings? I bring these questions to your attention, Scorpio, because the rest of 2019 will be an excellent time for you to finetune and expand your relationships with these fundamental blessings. And now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Michael Jack-

son’s 1982 song “Beat It” climbed to No. 3 on the record-sales charts in Australia. On the other hand, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 parody of Jackson’s tune, “Eat It,” reached No. 1 on the same charts. Let’s use this twist as a metaphor that’s a good fit for your life in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may find that a stand-in or substitute or imitation will be more successful than the original. And that will be auspicious!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The Space

Needle in Seattle, Washington, is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower. Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5 horsepower motor. I think you will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In 1941, the Ford

automobile company created a “biological car.” Among its components were “bioplastics” composed of soybeans, hemp, flax, wood pulp and cotton. It weighed a thousand pounds less than a comparable car made of metal. This breakthrough possibility never fully matured, however. It was overshadowed by newly abundant plastics made from petrochemicals. I suspect that you Aquarians are at a phase with a resemblance to the biological car. Your good idea is promising but unripe. I hope you’ll spend the coming weeks devoting practical energy to developing it. (P.S. There’s a difference between you and your personal equivalent of the biological car: little competition.)

Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps. These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals.

STAGE

ABBA CADABRA

Central New York Playhouse works its magic for the pop musical smash Mamma Mia!

BY JAMES MacKILLOP

entral New York Playhouse’s nearly sold-out run of Mamma Mia! (through March 2) is the first of what looks like a flood of productions to come. Rights to the much-loved jukebox musical, based on materials from Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus’ pop group ABBA, have become available only recently, and artistic director Dustin Czarny’s Central New York Playhouse was the first to grab the prize. Director-choreographer Stephfond Brunson and music director Abel Searor have set themselves out to make Mamma Mia! the production for the other companies to beat. And getting such a megamusical to fit inside the troupe’s intimate space is this mounting’s first achievement. Applause for scenic designer Christopher James Lupia’s clever use of space management. He evokes the Greek islands with only a bright blue stairway

and a door at stage left, flanked with white stucco. More importantly, he places the ensemble in a Mediterranean tavern at right in the middle, where all the musicians sit, including a specialist with the dulcet-sounding hammerkat. The stage also removes more than 50 percent of the dance space, but Brunson gets up to 20 people moving at a time, in one number with flippers. They never look cramped, although high kicks are limited. The storyline, designed to accommodate existing ABBA songs instead of creating tension, offers two leading ladies from different generations. Brunson has cast two blondes with big voices. As Donna, the mother who juggled three boyfriends 21 years before the beginning of the action, Becky Bottrill makes what could be billed as a return engagement. Known for characters of imposing presence like Miss Mona of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, as

well as virtually owning the title role of Always. . . Patsy Cline for many years, Bottrill had not been singing much recently. Here she does a lot of the heavy lifting, starting with “Money, Money, Money,” but she must also be a campy comic when she appears in oh-so-dated glam rock outfits, designed by Donnie Williams. Looking to be in her early 20s, pencil-thin, angel-faced Hali Greenhouse has been working her way through a series of noticeable supporting roles. She was one of Cinderella’s unusually gorgeous ugly stepsisters in last year’s Into the Woods. Greenhouse plays Sophie, the daughter who wants to have her real father — one of three possibilities — attend her wedding on an unnamed Greek island. Greenhouse sets the tone for the production with the emotiveness of her first two numbers, the yearning “I Have a Dream” and the celebratory “Honey, Honey” with sidekicks Ali (Martikah

Williams) and Lisa (Chelsea Lembo). Dramatically, Greenhouse is earnest and convincing, as if the dialogue had been written by Tennessee Williams. Unlike the plot of a conventional musical, Mamma Mia! has 12 characters with speaking and singing roles, partially as a way to accommodate all the ABBA numbers that cannot be assigned to the principals. Having the most fun are Donna’s gal-pals Tanya and Rosie, who performed with her before Sophie was conceived. Their reunion in now-dated laughable costumes, along with the three potential fathers, is the premise of the familiar photo that often represents the show, either on stage or screen. The taller pal is wise-cracking Tanya (Stephanie Straub), the Christine Baranski part in the movie. After giving reliable, second-banana support in several numbers, including the most celebrated “Dancing Queen,” she takes a star turn with the naughty “Does Your Mother Know?” while flirting with one of the younger generation guys, Pepper (T.J. Cravens). According to her program note, Straub has just ended a 17-year hiatus from performance and appears to have been building up energy for this return. Mark her appearance here as a “discovery.” Along with Tanya is the less-aggressive Rosie (Shannon Tompkins), who actually appears at the head of the trio in the first iteration of “Dancing Queen.” The winner of multiple Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theater (SALT) awards, Tompkins is one of the bestknown performers in town. Recently she has labored to create characters far from her native persona, like the sulfurously angry daughter in August, Osage County. Here she unabashedly plays a coquettish sweetie, as she dominates the show-stopping duet “Take a Chance on Me” with travel writer Bill (Garrett Robinson), the wittiest of the potential fathers. (Alas, Tompkins suffered an injury last Sunday and is unable to continue in the role; Krystal Scott Wadsworth will play Rosie for the rest of the run.) Considering the other possible dads, company veteran Robert G. Searle’s excellent tubes aid his Sam character in the second-act solo, “Knowing Me, Knowing You.” And Matt Green, who has sung with Syracuse Opera, shines just as brightly as Harry during his duet with Donna, “Our Last Summer.” Mamma Mia! will be favorably compared with Central New York Playhouse’s biggest hits since moving to Shoppingtown seven years ago, Spamalot (2013) and Chicago (2017), and may exceed both of them.

STAGE

BORDER PATROL

Squabbling neighbors and their yards provide comic conflict in Syracuse Stage’s Native Gardens

BY JAMES MacKILLOP

ore than in most productions, Shoko Kambara’s articulate set design contributes mightily to the action in Native Gardens, running through March 3 at Syracuse Stage. Playwright Karen Zacarías anticipated that many theaters no longer raise curtains to begin the show, and that audiences would be sizing up the set while looking for a seat and zipping through the program. Kambara has us see on the left a brightly restored façade behind an obsessively manicured garden filled with flowering plants in full bloom. Maybe a little conservative for Martha Stewart, but she would approve. As our eyes go right we see a grimy brick wall behind a backyard of weeds and dying grass. As Kambara says in a witty program note, no stage catalog sells stuff like that: You have to make it on the spot. We’re in Washington, D.C., a city of cosmopolitan influx where your neighbor might actually wield power of some kind. The first characters we meet live in the weedy backyard, and they’re Hispanic: Pablo Del Valle (Erick González) and his very pregnant wife Tania (Monica Rae Summers González). No, these are not the invaders President Trump has been cautioning against. Even though Pablo is indeed an immigrant, he is a lawyer who has just joined a powerful law firm, and Tania speaks of finishing her dissertation. In the spiffy yard live the WASPy Butleys. Frank (Paul DeBoy) is a bureaucrat of some kind who actually tends the garden, and Virginia (Anne-Marie Cusson) works for defense contractor Lockheed Martin. The first act has playwright Zacarías revealing that most of the signals she has been sending, primed to play on

common prejudices, are red herrings. Tania, although of an underprivileged background, was born in New Mexico and the only Spanish she knows are curses. Pablo is Chilean, from possibly the whitest of all Latin countries, and grew up in affluence. Even the seemingly patrician Virginia turns out to have been born blue-collar Polish in Buffalo. Kambara’s set, however, implies more tensions than ethnicity and class. The Del Valle place may look down-market because it had recently been a rental property, but Tania wants the backyard to look the way it is, with an aged oak sprinkling gobs of acorns. In this context she introduces the term “native garden”; the yard is “native” because it focuses on flora from the region, roughly Chesapeake Bay, and it encourages benign insects. Linking to the immigration theme, Tania disparages the Butleys’ garden because it is filled with vegetation from distant places and encouraged to bloom with harsh chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Three plot devices rev up the tension. The Butley garden has been a prize-winner, and the inspection for the competition is imminent. Pablo has invited most of the office for dinner the following Saturday. And Pablo has determined that the designation of the property line is in error, and the fence the Butleys erected must come out. Great swaths of the Butley blossoms are flush against the fence.

Karen Zacarías, who was playwright in residence at Washington’s Area Stage, where Native Gardens appeared in 2017, knows both Washington geography and these characters very well. Although born in Mexico, she is the granddaughter of leading pre-World War II movie director Miguel Zacarias, and she received a degree in creative writing from Stanford. She was recently named “Washingtonian of the Year” and can socialize with the power elite. New York–based director Melissa Crespo, who has helmed other Zacarías projects as well as Hispanic items (Pedro Pan), does not encourage the same confidence. We sense trouble coming in her staging of Erick González’s Pablo, who Tania tells us was born with the biggest imaginable silver spoon in his mouth. He’s just been hired at a selective, powerhouse law firm, with no insinuations about affirmative action. But with the animated body language and outright mugging Crespo asks of his performance, he could be Ricky Ricardo without the accent. The Butleys are also nudged toward the island of lost sitcoms. Zacarías created them on a groundswell of sympathy and awarded them more than their share of sparkling gags. Paul DeBoy displays the right timing, as when his Frank laments about what was once revered that has now gone out of fashion, like “white rice (two-beat pause), Cat Stevens.” In the

high comedy realm of Philip Barry, Garson Kanin and Anthony Shaffer, to which Zacarías appears to have aspired, one can deliver comic lines without becoming a comic type. The Butleys may have displayed some wince-making faux pas, but they are dignified creatures of status and should break against type when saying something droll. Meanwhile, Monica Rae Summers González’s Tania, a character who unmistakably speaks for the playwright, seems always contained, even when popping off in anger. She has many passionate lines but barely a gag. Dramatic action turns away from perceptions of class and ethnicity and flares up over territory. Will Frank’s garden be ready for the inspection? Can the law partners come for the afternoon? When will the pregnant Tania’s water break? Somehow the frequent laughter of the earlier action begins to peter out at what should be the maximum tension. Notable in this production is the original music by Elisheba Ittoop, a sound designer and composer with golden national credits, including the Kennedy Center, Steppenwolf Theatre and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. There are no echoes of Latin America or the steely Washington of House of Cards but instead witty heavy beats evocative of comic conflict. SNT

Christopher Getman on creating music for MazeQuest 2: “It was such an interesting palate to blend together.”

SETTLING THE SCORE

Christopher Getman composes music for the video game MazeQuest 2

BY JESSICA NOVAK

ince he was 15, Christopher Getman dreamed of composing music for the video games that he loved. In 2018 he achieved that goal by creating the soundtrack for the game MazeQuest 2. “I had an itch,” he says. “I wanted to get composing video game music under my belt.”

02.20.19 - 02.26.19 | syracusenew times.com

Getting there for Getman wasn’t easy, however. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in music from SUNY Purchase in 2001, then began writing scores for low-budget films in Los Angeles, which mostly consisted of remixing other composers’ work. “The editors would fall in love with a(n outside) track and say, ‘Write something like this!’” Getman explains. “It took all the joy out of it.” So Getman moved back to Central New York and started a career in web development; he currently works as senior manager-digital innovation for EarQ. Yet his interest in video game music never subsided, and his need to work within the genre has been a constant in his life. “If I’m not writing, I feel like something’s empty,” he says. For that reason, he became known as Mazedude in the online video game music world and began remixing other composers’ work. In 2017 he released a five-year passion project called American Pixels, which featured remixed video game music from American composers. The album won a Syracuse Area Music Award (Sammy) for Best Electronica in 2018, while also gaining significant online attention. In early 2018, Getman reached out to his contacts in the gaming world and eventually connected with OMB Media, which was creating the game MazeQuest 2. Right off the bat, Getman felt a connection with the name: MazeQuest meets Mazedude. The creators had an original MazeQuest game but were looking for a new composer, and Getman fit the bill. The RPG (role-playing game) needed a score that they had already mapped out, which gave Getman descriptions of how the music should make the player feel. “It was right up my alley,” he says. “It was a game with flexibility where I could use orchestral sounds, but weave in other sounds and create a fusion-based genre.” He drafted ideas for themes in 8-bit and later refined the songs. Both versions can now be found on the complete 50-track album, which also features bonus tracks of unused material. From February through May, Getman worked on the project during mornings, weekends and nights between obligations with work and family, while also communicating with game developers in California and Guatemala. The resulting

tracks feature instrumental sounds spanning sitar, Tibetan bells, Alpen horn, apache shaker, steel drums, hammered dulcimer and more. “I got to use ethnic sounds, and it was so much fun,” Getman says. “It was such an interesting palate to blend together.” Part of the reasoning for the variety was that most songs used for video games are only one to two minutes long and set on a loop. “It’s something you’re going to hear over and over and over again,” Getman says. “It’s impressive and challenging to develop something that you won’t get tired of. It locks me in a box so that I can’t develop something for four to five minutes, but doing so would also take much longer. “However, with this game, it doesn’t interfere with the play. When you battle, the music changes. When you walk into the church, the music changes. You’re not sharing the same music for five minutes without going anywhere.” Getman was also one of the testers for the game, which was released online in October. “Game developers often show games in progress for fans to play and then give feedback,” he says. “But often they don’t respond well to fan feedback. I give big kudos to this company for making sure fans and players were happy. It’s polished and they involved the community throughout the process.” Getman has other musical plans in the hopper, but he’s not involved with video game composing at the moment, although he’d be open to discussions about potential projects. And for those who want to follow in his footsteps, Getman offers some simple advice. “Just keep trying and reaching out,” he says. “There are lots of Facebook groups for indie game developers. Also, develop a portfolio to show off your work. I’ve seen people draft soundtracks to games that didn’t exist just to show what they could do. You can show that you have skills to get their attention.” MazeQuest 2 is currently available on various online platforms including iTunes, while the album is available in iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.

PIPE DREAMS

The 15th Hammond Jammin’ showcase offers a rocking salute to the Hammond B-3 organ

BY BILL DELAPP

he 2019 Syracuse Winterfest continues its 11-day bonanza of frosty fun in the Salt City through Sunday, Feb. 24, with diverse programs sure to lure Central New York residents to enjoy the downtown happenings. Upcoming events will include the Chill Out Dance Party (Friday, Feb. 22, 7 to 10:30 p.m., Marriott Syracuse Downtown), a snow sculpture contest (Saturday, Feb. 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Everson Museum Plaza) and a weekend that features chicken wing walks, chili cook-offs and sangria mixoffs. Local music fans will also take in the traditional Winterfest finale, as the 15th annual Hammond Jammin’ takes over the Upstairs at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que venue, 246 W. Willow St., on Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. The free six-hour concert, which usually gets packed for much of the afternoon, will be hosted by Jammin’ organizer Gerry Testa and WNDR-FM 94.1, 95.3 and 103.9 (The Dinosaur) morning-drive personality Nick Caplan. The daylong tribute to the Hammond B-3 organ is also a salute to rock, soul and rhythm’n’blues genres that required the instrument’s big, beefy sound. Mu-

sicians such as Isaac Hayes, Felix Cavaliere, Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood, Booker T. Jones, Jimmy Smith, Phish’s Page McConnell and John Medeski employed the Hammond B-3 for their album tracks. Syracuse New Times photographer Michael Davis, who will be performing on Sunday, noted last year that the B-3 should be hailed as “the king of keyboards. At one point, you couldn’t be considered a rock band if you didn’t have one.” Since the B-3 weighs in around 425 pounds, making it difficult for bands to use on their gigs, Atlantic Rental and Repairs in North Syracuse will once again provide the hefty Hammond organ that will be used Sunday, along with a Leslie speaker that will weigh 150 pounds. “Bands don’t use trucks anymore to lug equipment,” Davis noted, “and stages for bands are smaller these days, so a B-3 these days is not really practical.” This year’s Jammin’ lineup will offer Gerry Testa with Chapter XI; the Lawless Brothers Family and Friends, featuring Max Flansburg and Roland Brunet; Al Petroff with The Deep Freeze; Bill Barry of Stroke with Monkey Fever; Mi-

chael “Groove” Davis with Menage A Soul, featuring Phil Petroff and trusted harmonicat Li’l Skippy Murphy; Dave Solazzo and the Hip Replacements; and the Jon LeRoy Trio. Hammond Jammin’ will also honor the memory of Tom “Biff” Cooper, the longtime house sound engineer for the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que who passed away last June at age 64. Cooper was part of

the long-running Mickey Vendetti and the Good Time Band since 1991, and also played with Abraxas, Déjà Vu and The Blast.

PHYSICIAN, PHILANTHROPIST AND SONGWRITER SCOTT ALLYN CREATES THE SAMMY-NOMINATED DOUBLE CD FORGOTTENSONG

ou might not know it, but if you live in Central New York, Scott Allyn may have changed your life. The curly-headed scion of the Skaneateles Welch-Allyn medical-equipment empire may have treated your family during his two decades as a family physician. If not, you might have attended stage shows and concerts at the Redhouse, the arts center which he and his then-wife, actress Laura Austin, established in 2004 on the outskirts of Armory Square. “We just thought that downtown Syracuse needed a good theater,” he says now. He continues to serve on the Redhouse’s board of directors, although his exwife was let go from her position as artistic director last year shortly after the facility moved into its new location on South Salina Street. And if you haven’t taken in the Redhouse’s entertainment schedule, maybe you have heard music produced at SubCat Studios, which was born 18 years ago in the basement of Allyn’s medical practice. “That was the first time I was able to record my music on something other than a cassette tape,” Al02.20.19 - 02.26.19 | syracusenew times.com

BY RUSS TARBY lyn quipped. “But it wasn’t easy because it flooded so often.” That DIY operation has blossomed into a worldclass recording studio owned by drummer-engineer Ron Keck. It’s now located at 219 S. West St., in the same building where the Redhouse was founded. In recent years, SubCat has produced recordings and videos by a wide array of musicians including cabaret star Karen Oberlin, power balladeer Benny Mardones, blues guitarist Kim Simmonds & Savoy Brown, Melissa Gardiner’s Second Line Syracuse, bassist Edgar Pagan, Native American songwriter Joanne Shenandoah, 12-string virtuoso Jason Kessler and electric guitar icon Mark Doyle. In fact, Doyle — Central New York’s most versatile and experienced record producer — had collaborated with Allyn at SubCat for a couple decades. They waxed two albums of Allyn’s songs as performed by Laura Austin, I could be anyone (circa 2000) and BitterSweetHeart (2008). “Before Scott and Laura and their kids moved to England for a year, we had worked on seven more songs in hopes that we would make a third album

when they returned,” Doyle recalled. The unstated plan called for Allyn to clear his mind abroad and continue writing so that the record could be completed when the family returned. “Instead a very odd thing happened,” Doyle said. “He totally lost his connection to music.” Fast-forward to 2016: “Out of the blue I heard from Scott who told me that, sadly, he and Laura had split up a few years before and that he was living in Barcelona,” Doyle recalled. “The welcome news was that he was writing again. He said it was like the floodgates had opened.” Allyn had an epiphany. “I think I finally realize who I am,” he told Doyle. “I’m a songwriter.” Those seven unrecorded songs from 2009 built the foundation for Forgottensongs, a double disc released last year by Free Will Records. Five different Syracuse singers, including Phil Broikos, Maureen Henesey, Emma Jude, Riley Mahan and Doyle, lent their voices to Allyn’s equally varied songs. Forgottensongs has been nominated for a Syracuse Area Music Awards (Sammy) trophy in the Best Pop category.

Doyle had been willing to travel to Spain to record the material in Barcelona and using Spanish musicians if necessary. “But Scott asked how it would work if we did it here at home,” he said. “I suggested that since the songs were so eclectic, maybe we could look at it like the Alan Parsons Project, where we could cast different singers for each of the songs. I could make demos of the arrangements based on the rough sketches he sent me and bring in musicians and singers to see how it works.” Starting in November 2016, Doyle, Allyn and their hired hands spent the next 14 months making masters of all 18 songs using three different studios: Doyle’s own Near Miss for most of the bass, keyboards, guitars and half the vocals; SubCat for strings, horns and grand piano; and all the rest — including mixing and mastering — at Jocko Randall’s More Sound Recording Studio. “Scott trusted me to do all the hiring,” Doyle said. “It generated a lot of work for a lot of people. Everyone got paid, even if their parts ended up being replaced. It went on for a long time, and Scott said from the beginning that there was no budget, it just needed to be right.” Forgottensong Vol. 1 kicks off with one of those seven original forgotten songs, “One Clear Moment,” a slow-marching rocker uplifted by an exuberant bridge and Phil Broikos’ emotive recitation. Doyle and Maureen Henesey share vocal duties on “This Is the Day that the Lord Hath Made,” where a jubilant sax solo by Joe Carello soars over drummer Frank DeFonda’s steady beat. Another forgotten song follows, as vocalist Riley Mahan infuses “Wishing Well” with authentic angst and longing. Broikos returns to shed “Glycerin Tears” before Emma Jude delivers a carefully calculated vocal on another forgotten song, “Grey Town.” Here Doyle drives the slowly building tune on the wheels of his aching guitar, and Allyn makes a rare appearance strumming an acoustic six-string. As Broikos croons noncommittal lyrics like “My girlfriend keeps me hanging by one loose end/ There’s no reason to pretend” on “My Girlfriend,” Josh DeKaney propels the reggae beat with Doyle on bass, Joe Davoli on violin and Mark Nanni on accordion. “I’m Comin’ Home” spotlights Doyle’s heavily affected vocal as strings repeat an ostinato over which Davoli’s fiddle flies. DeFonda is clocklike, ticking down the seconds to the happy homecoming. The string section soars again on “Vertigo,” an oddly structured tune mirroring the dizziness of the title ailment. Broikos’

intentionally unsteady singing completes the picture, immediately admitting, “The air is thin up here.” Over the course of his half-century career, Mark Doyle has deservedly become well known for his inventive and exhilarating electric guitar work often showcased on instrumental-only albums such as Guitar Noir and Out of the Past. But on Forgottensong, he applies that same imaginative approach to lead vocals. On “Big People” Doyle sings the blues anthem a la John Lennon or Bob Dylan, decrying the rich and powerful. Terry Quill’s guitar and harmonica support culminates in a guitar duel with Doyle before spirited gang vocals take it home. Add in Todd Shuffler’s big-bottom bass and “Big People” becomes one of the best tracks on the double disc. On Vol. 2, Doyle belts out a few more including “American Beauty,” the memorable set-closer. It’s an easy shuffle co-written by Allyn and Doyle, who enhances the glamour with some winsome wah-wah guitar and plays all the music except DeKaney’s declarative drums. Three more of the inspirational seven form the backbone of Vol. 2. On “Bulletproof,” Broikos sings over looped drumbeats, and the story of misspent youth fascinates as its inner-rhymed lyrics resonate: “He lives to the click-track of finding a six-pack/ And knocking them all back for something to do.” Or “Dressed like a hooker, the girl was a looker/ And no one would mistake her for a Mouseketeer.” Lyrics are one of Allyn’s most trustworthy talents. It’s got to be a joy for a vocalist to sing lines like “They float like confetti through mayhem and beer.” “Bulletproof” also contains one of the greatest slant-rhymes ever written: “Hyundai” and “Sunday.” “Quien Bien te Quiere to Hará Llorar” (which means “the one who loves you will make you cry”) is another slow one for Broikos. He sings “these feet of clay are fixed in tar” backed by Mo Henesey over Doyle’s sensuous string arrangements punctuated by Jeff Stockham’s forceful French horn. Henesey croons “3 Chords and a Relative Minor,” a music-as-metaphor cut on which Allyn provides backing vocals and acoustic guitar. Meanwhile Doyle varies the instrumentation, playing “faux pedal steel and mandolin” as Nanni pumps the squeezebox. “Easy to Talk that Way” finds Broikos in an insistently upbeat mood. Allyn’s song, which features Fab Cats Gary Frenay and Arty Lenin on backup vox, is Beatle-esque but bitter. One of the newer tunes, “Eye to Eye,”

may have been inspired by Allyn’s marriage breakup. It boasts an unusual instrumentation as Doyle hammers a xylophone, Jillian Honn blows oboe and cellist Kate LaVerne and violinists Shelby Dems and Davoli enthusiastically bow Doyle’s charts as Broikos bemoans, “I’m watching us go down slow.” Allyn may have watched his relationship with Laura Austin “go down slow,” but now he’s happily remarried to a native Catalonian, Sara, whom he thanks in the Forgottensong liner notes for putting

“the muse back in music.” Yes, Renaissance man Scott Allyn is now a man of the world with hopes of bringing needed medical services to developing nations such as those in Sri Lanka and Kenya. While the good doctor’s hacking his way through the red tape in those distant outposts, he has recommitted himself to music. “My next record’s going to be much more rootsy, more country” he said. “And for the first time, I’ll be doing the singing.” SNT

SYRACUSE NEW TIMES PRESENTS

Valentines Day U LT I M A T E

D A T E

3 ANNUAL DATE NIGHT rd

For the third year, the Syracuse New Times held its Ultimate Date Night contest with one goal in mind: to give one Central New York couple a night to remember with a luxurious date for Valentine’s Day. Like previous years, the date would been an all-day affair of pampering, entertainment, dinner and complimentary overnight accommodations — plus chauffeur service. The contest opened in mid-January, with a special call for “happily ever after” stories. Stories began pouring in almost immediately. Acts of love on a grand scale, childhood crushes turned forever partners and even a modern Romeo and Juliet saga were some of the highlights of the Top 10 finalists. But two stories stood out to readers. Perhaps it was the generosity from daughter Colleen Osborne that pushed Kathy and George Bettinger into the top spot. Colleen, winner of the New Times’ first Ultimate Date Night contest in 2017, entered her parents as a way to give back. Focusing on what they taught her about love and marriage over the course of their 50-year relationship, the Bettingers took home first place and secured the Ultimate Date. The day began at 10 a.m. on Feb. 14 with a trip to Fayetteville’s La Fleur de Beaute (6900 Highbridge Road; (315) 314-9594) for a pair of pampering facials. The business is known to be the best spa and massage parlor in the area, having won both categories in the 2018 Best of Syracuse contest. The signature facials are based on traditional European deep-pore method to provide a relaxing experience while cleansing and clearing the skin. Along with a hydrating face mask to even the skin’s tone and elasticity are a neck, face and shoulder massage, hand and foot massage, and a light steam to help open pores and relax the body. Next was a stop at Pure Salon (327 W. Fayette St.; (315) 475-7873), a repeat Ultimate Date Night sponsor since the fling began. Both of these were leadups to dinner at Phoebe’s Restaurant & Coffee Lounge (900 E. Genesee St.; (315) 475-5154), a cozy, intimate bistro that’s stood tall just east of the bustle of

downtown Syracuse since 1976, chauffeured by a limo from Farone & Son Funeral Home (1500 Park St.; (315) 422-1911). Once stomachs were stuffed, it was time to move on to the entertainment portion of the night: two tickets to see Central New York Playhouse’s (3649 Erie Blvd E.; (315) 885-8690) production of Mamma Mia! on opening night. The show was nearly sold out during its first runs, and longtime Syracuse New Times stage reviewer James MacKillop said the well-known show was so good and full of energy it could be one of the biggest hits of the venue’s last seven years in Shoppingtown Mall (read more of his review on Page 8). The date quieted down at the Red Fox Run Bed & Breakfast (3813 Number 9 Road; (315) 569-7244). These warm accommodations offer a two-person villa, complete with private entrance for a unique, rustic and down-to-earth experience. Innkeepers Charlie and Lisa Sovik bring a personal flair to their business with their Farmhouse Breakfast Basket, which features all-natural ingredients and family recipes to get you in the kitchen and cooking alongside your sweetheart to create a loving morning breakfast by hand. Also in the basket are warm apples, oats, cinnamon and 100 percent pure New York maple syrup. The Bettingers also enjoyed a dozen blooming red roses from Westcott Florist (548 Westcott St.; (315) 474-1283), nominated for the Best Florist category in the 2018 Best of Syracuse contest; a box of truffles from Speach Family Candy (2400 Lodi St.; (315) 478-3100), made with a family recipe passed down from third-generation chocolatier Susan Fedrizzi Speach after holding the secret for more than 20 years; and a gift card to Fierce. . . with Love (8914 N. Seneca St.; (315) 834-7008), an ethically sourced lingerie store promoting empowerment and self-love.

RYAN & ASHLEE HANNON Runners-Up But the Bettingers weren’t the only ones to get a special treat this Valentine’s Day. Runners-up Ryan and Ashlee Hannon were also spoiled for coming in second place. Readers had their heart strings pulled imagining these two lovebirds unable to spend quality time together, torn between raising three beautiful children and Ashlee’s demanding job as a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Hubby Ryan entered the contest in secret, hoping to do something nice for his wife. For Valentine’s Day, the pair got to spend a romantic evening together over dinner at the historic Lombardo’s Bridie Manor (1830 Bridie Manor; (315) 342-1830) on the west bank of the Oswego

The building has held post along the shores since its beginning as a flour mill in 1833 and has been family-owned and -operated by the Lombardo’s since 1988, specializing in delicious Italian cuisine. The Hannons washed down dinner with a complimentary bottle of wine and sated their sweetteeths with dessert for two, before turning in at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites (140 E. 13th St.; (315) 207-0100) in downtown Oswego. They were also treated to special cake pops from Jessica Dudley’s baking business, Dudley’s Desserts ((315) 380-1801).

50 ANNIVERSARY! th

The Ultimate Date Night usually stops there, but not for 2019. In honor of the Syracuse New Times turning 50, another gift was given to any contest submissions who were celebrating a 50th anniversary this year. Two couples, Joan and Roger Green and Bill and Lee Beal, fit the bill. Representatives from the New Times called the longtime couples and asked them about their favorite places to eat. They then surprised them by securing gift cards to those locations, creating a special night out, tailored to what they wanted. The Greens headed to Daniel’s Grill (69 North St.; (315) 673-1656) along Nine Mile Creek in Marcellus, where they’d been longtime friends of owners Daniel and Dina Curley. On top of dinner, they also had Daniel’s famous carrot cake. The Beals chose to go to the elegant Inn Between Restaurant (2290 W. Genesee Turnpike; (315) 672-3166) in Camillus, nominated for the Best Date Night location in the area in the 2018 Best of Syracuse contest, with Chef Cesta Began winning as Best Chef in 2009.
