More wheels, more laws.

HEAVY HITTER TIP OF THE WEEK: Crashes linking to an 18 wheeler, tractor trailer, delivery truck, or other large vehicle involve more complex laws and regulations. They are simply handled differently than an average wreck. That being said, even if you have been in an accident before, an 18 wheeler wreck may change the whole process for you. In addition, your injuries are more likely to be serious. You will need an attorney that is well-versed in that area of law.

What Could Go Wrong?

It was all fun and games until a drunk, naked man and his (also naked) companion crashed into a tree near La Grande, Wash., on Nov. 22. Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Brooke Bova told The Olympian that the couple was engaging in intercourse when the driver missed a curve and left the highway. The woman was hospitalized with broken bones, but her 3-month-old child was unhurt in the backseat. The driver, who has three prior DUI convictions, was charged with felony driving under the influence, vehicular assault and endangering a child.

Voting Woes

Douglas Aaron Shuttlesworth, 34, was simply trying to exercise his civic duty when he reported to an elementary school in Harrisburg, Pa., to vote — on Monday, Nov. 6, the day before Election Day. Susquehanna Township police arrested Shuttlesworth for DUI after he appeared at the school intoxicated and admitted he had driven there to vote. The Associated Press reported that Shuttlesworth’s mother elucidated: Her son thought it was Tuesday.

Nerd Alert

A sharp-eyed Google Earth user from Leeds, England, searching for Longcross Studios in Surrey, came across a Star Wars fan’s dream: the Millennium Falcon, nestled inside a ring of stacked shipping containers and covered with a tarp. Andi Durrant tweeted about his find on Nov. 8. The spaceship was used in filming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi at Longcross.

Way to Go

Nathan William Parris, 72, met his unfortunate end when a cow he was trying to move turned against him at his farm in Floyd County, Ga., on Oct. 25. Parris was pinned against a fence by the recalcitrant cow, reported The Rome News-Tribune, which caused him severe chest trauma.

First responders tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the Redmond Regional Medical Center emergency room.

Coal For Her Stocking

A mall Santa working the weekend shift in late November got more than he bargained for at Dufferin Mall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, when an unnamed woman unloaded a sleigh-full of obscenities on him, saying, “Do you have a sleigh? No? You’re not magic! You’re not even real! I heard about it when I was a young kid!”

A bystander with a cellphone captured the tirade on video, reported the New York Post, and true to his spirit, St. Nick kept his composure and tried not to engage with the elf-hater. A mall spokesperson said the woman left without further incident.

and began “indiscriminately” spraying pepper spray on nearby patrons during an altercation that got out of hand. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office told The Times-Picayune that five adults and two children were treated for exposure to the spray at the scene. Marshall was charged with disturbing the peace by fighting.

Why They Call It Dope

Greensburg, Pa., police made a traffic stop on Oct. 19 and found drug paraphernalia in plain sight on the car’s front seat.

When police asked where the occupants had obtained the heroin found in the center console, they said they had bought it from someone named Cody in the maternity ward at the Excela Health Westmoreland hospital in Greensburg. Officers arrested Cody R. Hulse, 25, at the hospital after he admitted to possessing and selling heroin just feet away from his newborn daughter. The Tribune-Review reported that police found 34 stamp bags of heroin, four empty bags and multiple hypodermic needles in Hulse’s possession. “I have an issue myself with drugs: heroin,” Hulse told them. “I really didn’t want to bring it in.” Hulse’s girlfriend, the mother of the newborn, said she did not know he was selling drugs from the room.

Model Parent

A family in Vero Beach, Fla., were rudely awakened early on Nov. 11 when Jacob Johnson Futch, 31, climbed onto their roof to, as he later told authorities, carry out a meeting with an agent of the Drug Enforcement Agency. WPTV reported the family didn’t know Futch and called Indian River Sheriff’s deputies to say that someone was stomping on their roof, yelling and howling. When asked, Futch admitted injecting methamphetamines earlier that morning. He was charged with trespassing and held in the Indian River County jail.

Amber L. Schmunk, 28, of Fredonia, Wisc., put all her resources to work in concocting a way to get a plastic kiddie pool from one house to another on Sept.

9. Her solution: She had her 9-year-old son climb on top of her minivan and hold down the pool as she drove through Saukville. She must have had second thoughts, though, because according to The Ozaukee Press, she told police the boy was up there for only 20 to 30 seconds before she pulled over and wedged the pool into the back of the minivan.

Schmunk said she thought it would be OK for her son to ride atop the car because her father had allowed her to do similar things when she was a child. But officers disagreed, charging her with second-degree recklessly endangering safety.

Office workers at Cambridge Research Park in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, England, feared the worst as they rushed outside on Nov. 13 after watching a hot air balloon crash into a fence in their parking lot. Strangely, no one was in the basket of the balloon, although the gas canister was still running. Eyewitness Jack Langley told Metro News: “Either they had bailed out and jumped out before crashing or the balloon escaped from its mooring lines.” Cambridgeshire Police later discovered the balloon had taken off when the pilot got out of the basket to secure it to the ground.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Down With Gobblers

In Darmstadt, Germany, police detained a 19-year-old man on Nov. 7 after they noticed “a significant bulge in his trousers” and discovered he was carrying a baby python in his pants. The unnamed man was carrying on a loud, drunken argument with another man when police were called, reported The Guardian. Officers took the man and the snake to the police

THINGS THAT MATTER

By Luke Parsnow

Downtown’s Interstate-81 project would face a rocky path under the president’s infrastructure initiatives.

Michael Davis photo

TRUMP INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN OFFERS A ROAD TO NOWHERE During his presidential campaign, overhauling infrastructure became one of Donald Trump’s most popular and bipartisan messages. Last week, the president finally released a detailed plan on how to repair the nation’s rapidly aging roads, bridges, airports, railroads and water systems over the next decade.

However, the key component of the current proposed solution points back to the core of the problem. The president’s plan would use $200 billion in federal money that would provide leverage for city and state investments in infrastructure spending, with the eventual goal of generating an investment of $1.5 trillion to $1.8 trillion over the next few years.

The plan would shift the larger responsibility of funding infrastructure projects from the federal government to state and local governments. It envisions that those governments would cough up about 80 percent of the required funding for their individual infrastructure projects.

That would be a complete inverse of the traditional balance, where federal money accounts for about 80 percent of transportation projects and local money funds the rest. That means states and cities would have to kick in at least $4 for every $1 they get in federal money.

There’s one problem with that equation:

6

State and local governments have nowhere near the available funds necessary to contribute that much of an overwhelming majority to infrastructure programs.

New York state is no exception. An October 2017 report from state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office found that roughly 12.4 percent of the state’s bridges owned by local governments are “structurally deficient,” with Seneca and Cayuga counties respectively having the highest and second-highest percentage statewide. “Structurally deficient” is defined as bridges where their load-carrying elements are in poor condition, or the bridge is prone to repeated flooding, resulting in traffic delays. It does not mean that the bridge is unsafe to drive on, yet is still in dire need of repair Another 20.7 percent of bridges across the state are “functionally obsolete,” meaning they do not meet current design standards for the amount of traffic they carry. The estimated price tag to repair these bridges? A whopping $27.4 billion, the comptroller predicts.

Obviously, that’s way beyond the capabilities of local governments. DiNapoli agrees: “While the state has taken steps to make funds for repairs available, the assistance of the federal government has also been critical.”

To put this in perspective, remember

2.21.18 - 2.27.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

that Trump’s plan is offering $200 billion nationwide, and that it will cost $27.4 billion just to repair a little more than half the bridges in New York. That’s just one area of infrastructure in one state. And the cost of these improvements will only increase over time.

That kind of extreme burden on small governments would come just as New York is grappling with how to make up a $4.4 billion deficit in this year’s budget, and as the city of Syracuse will face a budget deficit of nearly $25 million next year.

The Trump administration intends to come up with the $200 billion by, ironically, making cuts to programs that already help fund local infrastructure projects. The president’s recent federal budget proposal includes cutting the Highway Trust Fund by $122 billion over a 10-year period. Such a shortage could seriously jeopardize the coming Interstate-81 project in Syracuse, further complicating an already expensive and controversial affair.

This whole debacle is just another chapter in the long story of large government seriously misunderstanding the infrastructure needs of smaller communities and seriously underestimating how much money is actually required to properly address those needs.

At the state level, it took Gov. Andrew

Cuomo and the Legislature several years to recognize the necessity to replace New York’s aging water pipes. Three years ago, the Democratic governor said to the syracuse.com editorial board, “Show us how you become economically stronger and create jobs. Then you fix your own pipes.”

The state finally came to its senses last year when the governor signed the Clean Water Infrastructure Act. It contributed $2.5 billion to installing advanced treatment and filtration systems, replacing lead service lines in low-income communities, upgrading aging wastewater treatment plants, and new measures to help prevent contaminants from getting into groundwater.

But even after the state discovered it needed to step in to help local governments pay for water infrastructure repairs, the $2.5 billion may not be anywhere near what’s actually needed. Some state officials have estimated it could cost up to $80 billion to fix New York’s pipes over the next few years.

Infrastructure has become too expensive for states and cities to maintain with their own tax dollars. The federal government needs to understand that it needs to do more, as our bridges and roads continue to crumble, while the cost to repair them continues to rise. The clock is ticking. SNT

ART

By Carl Mellor

DONALEE PEDEN WESLEY’S WILD KINGDOM For many years, Donalee Peden Wesley’s mixed-media drawings have focused on relationships between humans and animals. We All Fall Down, her one-woman show at the ArtRage Gallery, further documents her view of connections that are problematic, troubled, even outright exploitative. The exhibit encompasses topics such as puppy mills, factory farming, medical research, and the ongoing extinction of various species.

The artist explores relations between animals and humans in a distinctive visual idiom, one that’s both topical and imaginative. For example, a drawing dealing with greyhound racing shows three dogs on top of each other pyramid-style.

Similarly, a charcoal drawing referencing puppy mills portrays five dogs, each in an awkward, unnatural position. The artwork communicates by implication, as it asks viewers to consider the dogs’ status and possible alternatives to their current environment.

“Encroachment #1” depicts a wilderness scene, with a kitchen table holding a spoon, coffee cup and tablecloth. Other items, such as bowls and spices, lie on the floor. The work both presents a wolf in an unfamiliar setting and suggests that humans regularly intrude on animals’ habitat.

“Too Little, Too Late?” communicates a similar theme, concentrating on the erosion of polar bears’ territory in the Arctic Circle. The piece portrays three bears, three men, and sacks marked “Arctic Circle.”

Other works depict a bear on display at an amusement park and pigs crammed into small spaces in a factory-farm setup.

There’s no imagery of the bear being disciplined or the pigs dealing with severe stress. Peden Wesley, in her work, has long avoided imagery that’s shocking or provocative. Rather, she concentrates on life in the 21st century, on informing viewers about the impact of human behavior on animals.

Thus, one drawing shows a man pouring water near creatures that have died off. A text discusses the fact that various species have gone extinct on our planet; after all, the last dinosaur died many centuries ago.

The problem today is a radical acceleration of extinction. Species are dying off at an unprecedented rate.

$12 Event-Day Tickets Donalee Peden Wesley’s “Encroachment #1.”

The exhibit not only expresses the artist’s concerns about the environment but also demonstrates her ability to pursue new visual avenues. In “Encroachment #3,” she portrays animals and birds swarming around humans, in a role-reversal scenario. “Ashes, Ashes All Fall Down” conveys the beauty of wildlife featuring wolves, in a drawing done in charcoal, pastel and watercolor wash. And in a self-portrait, the artist appears with a cow’s head.

The 16 drawings at ArtRage don’t make up a retrospective; the current show only samples her substantial body of work.

Yet We All Fall Down plays a useful role

by highlighting her drawings and artistic skills. Peden Wesley is able to portray her subjects in exquisite detail and to keep developing fresh designs. The exhibition is worthwhile both for people familiar with her work and for viewers who have never seen her drawings.

We All Fall Down is on display through March 24 at the ArtRage Gallery, 505 Hawley Ave. The venue is open Wednesdays through Fridays, 2 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m.

SAMMYS SET TO HONOR MUSIC MAINSTAYS FROM DOVE TO DAVE (FRISINA)

T

he 1970s-era rock quintet Dove will reunite for a performance and to accept Hall of Fame honors during this year’s Syracuse Area Music Awards (Sammys).

The announcement was made during the Feb. 6 press conference held at Eastwood’s Palace Theatre, as smooth grooves from Bobby Green and his band provided an aural backdrop in the bijou lobby jammed with local musicmakers and aficionados.

Other inductees to the Hall of Fame include music promoter Stacey Waterman, acclaimed musician John Cadley and veteran concert production manager Maryjo Spillane. Hamilton College’s Monk Rowe has been named music educator of the year, and radio program director Dave Frisina will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his 40-year (and counting) celebration of local music.

The Sammys Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony will be held Thursday, March 1, 7 to 10 p.m., at Upstairs at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, 246 W. Willow St. Tickets are $25 and available at syracuseareamusic.com.

The Sammys bandwagon continues with the awards presentation on Friday, March 2, 7 p.m., at the Palace, 2384 James St. Awards in 14 recording categories will be handed out between live performances that will feature Dove, the Merry Pranksters, Elephant Mountain, Professional Victims and Count Blastula.

There will also be people’s choice awards for best band, venue and music festival, and the Brian Bourke Award for best new artist. Tickets are $20, available at Armory Square’s Sound Garden and at syracuseareamusic.com. SNT

WINTERFEST WRAPS WITH HAMMOND JAMMIN’ 14

T

he 2018 Syracuse Winterfest offers an 11-day stretch that celebrates fun in the Salt City, with chicken wing walks, chili cook-offs and ice carvings to lure Central New York residents to enjoy the downtown happenings. But while all good things must come to an end, at least the traditional Winterfest finale always provides some harmonious ear candy.

That’s when the 14th annual Hammond Jammin’ takes over the Upstairs at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que venue, 246 W. Willow St., on Sunday, Feb. 25, 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, rhythm’n’blues and every other musical genre that required the instrument’s big, beefy sound. Musicians 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 photography editor Michael Davis, who will be performing on Sunday, has labeled the B-3 as “the king of keyboards. At one point, you couldn’t be considered a rock band if you didn’t have one.”

Davis has played at every Jammin’ event, including previous locations such as Bar, P.J. Dorsey’s, The Zodiac and Wise Guys, always with trusted harmonicat Li’l Skippy Murphy at his side. This year his musical crew will include The Coachmen and Kia plus guitar guru Mark Hoffmann.

Since the B-3 weighs around 425 pounds, making it difficult for bands to use on their gigs, Atlantic Hammond will

provide the hefty 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.”

Davis still owns his B-3 that he bought in 1968. “I begged my parents to co-sign for it,” he recalled with a laugh. “It was $64.07 every month for four years. I could have bought a new Buick for that kind of money! It was a lot of money back then, especially when you were making 25 bucks per gig.”

This year’s Jammin’ lineup will offer Gerry Testa and Plan B featuring Vera; Rick Jewett with the Lawless Brothers; Al Petroff with his blues brothers Phil and Mike with the House Party Band; Bill Barry of Stroke with Monkey Fever; Michael “Groove” Davis with The Coachmen and Kia; Dave Solazzo and the Hip Replacements; and the Jon LeRoy Trio.

Ultimate Date Night

By Kira Maddox

TWO CUPID COUPLES EXPERIENCE ULTIMATE DATE NIGHTS The Syracuse New Times began its second annual Ultimate Date Night contest in the Jan. 24 issue to see which local couples could get the most “likes” on social media. The event would send two lucky pairs out for a romantic, luxurious night on the town, with more than 15 local business sponsors donating dinners and prizes.

A first-place winner quickly emerged: Ashlee Burgess and Nick Barbano, of Oneida. The pair’s inspiring story of strength after losing triplet sons in April 2017 resonated with Facebook users, and the young couple ended the competition with more than 600 votes.

The activity-filled day began at 10:45 a.m. with drinks and lunch at 1060 Restaurant inside the Genesee Grande Hotel (1060 E. Genesee St.; (315) 4769000). The pair sipped on mimosas and

enjoyed a chicken cobb salad and chicken penne pasta that ended up being so good, they shared plates, Ashlee said.

The lunch was one of the couple’s favorite parts of the day, especially because of the friendly and personable staff. “The Genesee Grande will be on our list for future dinner dates,” Ashlee said. They already have plans to take Nick’s parents.

After lunch it was time to head downtown for the couple’s massages at Armory Massage Therapy (327 W. Fayette St.; (315) 476-0411) and the hair stylings at Pure Salon (327 W. Fayette St.; (315) 475-7873). Ashlee said she initially felt bad that her balayage styling was taking a long time because of her long hair, which reaches just past her shoulders.

Nevertheless, Ashlee noted that the stylist and owner were very nice and accommodating. “They were like, ‘Oh,

2.21.18 - 2.27.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

don’t worry about it at all! We blocked off the whole day for this.’”

Back at the Jefferson Clinton Hotel (416 S. Clinton St.; (315) 425-0500), the rest of their prizes were waiting to greet them when they arrived. A dozen roses from Westcott Florist (548 Westcott St.; (315) 474-1283), accented with a small heart-shaped box of Russell Stover chocolates, sat as the classic centerpiece.

Jessica Dudley, who runs local bakery Dudley’s Desserts ((315) 380-1801) out of her own kitchen, donated a bucket of her signature chocolate-covered cake pops, decorated with sprinkles and pink and white polka dots.

Nick and Ashlee were also treated to two bottles of wine from Greenwood Winery (6475 Collamer Road; (315) 299-4030): their red Baco Noir, from the “Banana Belt” of Seneca Lake; and their

white Patience, coming from a blend of Cayuga and Niagara grapes. A special gift for Ashlee came in the form of a silver necklace featuring two stacked hearts with a matching pair of earrings from Cazenovia Jewelry (49 Albany St. Cazenovia; (315) 655-9114 or 533 Towne Drive, Fayetteville; (315) 637-3288).

Although the day was waning, the ultimate date night was far from over. The couple took a limo to Phoebe’s Restaurant (900 E. Genesee St.; (315) 475-5154) for dinner, which began with a spinach and artichoke dip appetizer. The main entrees featured chicken Tuscan penne for Ashlee and baked stuffed shrimp for Nick — a special treat considering Ashlee isn’t a seafood fan and rarely makes it at home, she said.

The evening was spent at Destiny USA. Ashlee said the staff at Margaritaville

set up a special space for them, complete with a tablecloth, red confetti and a handwritten sign with their names to reserve the space. She and Nick sipped on margaritas before heading to All Star Alley & Tavern ((315) 992-9200) to play in the arcade. They also had gift certificates to 5 Wits ((855) 955-9487), the Mirror Maze ((315) 476-2000) and RPM Raceway ((315) 423-7223).

“It was really a special day, and I know we’ll never forget it,” Ashlee said. She thanked everyone who voted for her and Nick, the sponsors and Syracuse New Times for putting the contest together.

Ashlee and Nick weren’t the only ones having some extra romance on Valentine’s Day. Second-place winners Ashley and Pat Spagnitta also received a special prize.

“We were shocked,” Pat said. “When the whole competition started and we saw a lot of the other stories, we didn’t think we’d have a chance.”

But they did, perhaps in part due to their supportive friends and staff at Crouse Hospital. Ashley Spagnitta and Ashlee Burgess have been friends for years. They both used to bartend together and now both work at the hospital, Pat said. People who came out to support

Ashlee and Nick were more than happy to support another coworker.

Dominick, Pat and Ashley’s 15-monthold son, spent the night with his grandparents, giving the adults a much-needed night for two. The couple began their date with drinks before heading to their complimentary dinner at The Chop House on Waring (200 Waring Road; (315) 445-1976). The pair treated themselves to a crispy shrimp appetizer before moving on to Cowboy Ribeye and Smoked Prime Rib steaks.

As they ate, they watched the Syracuse University men’s basketball team battle North Carolina State college on the Chop House TVs. The Orange picked up the Carrier Dome game in the second half, trading point-for-point with the Wolf Pack before losing, 74-70.

The Spagnittas spent the night at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (701 E. Genesee St.; (315) 479-7000), which is where the NC State team was also staying. The couple even spotted some players in the hotel’s elevators before they headed to dinner.

Pat said the loss was the only sad part of the whole night, but it wasn’t anything a shared caramel apple pie couldn’t fix.

“It was a perfect night.” SNT

The consumption of junk food news distracts people from understanding the truth

P

By Terelle Jerricks

roject Censored is the ongoing mission of journalists Mickey Huff and Andy Lee Roth to expose the most-important news stories that have gone underreported or effectively censored.

But with the 2017 edition of Project Censored (published in the Nov. 29 issue of the Syracuse New Times), Huff and Roth reached a milestone: the year in which an episode of The Simpsons was played out in real life.

Foreshadowed in a TV cartoon, the black comedy of events that obscured and propelled Donald Trump’s rise to president of the United States is chronicled in the annual Project Censored chapter devoted to Junk Food News: the so-called “fake news” that squeezed into the places that should have been filled with legitimate information.

In 2016, Project Censored’s legions of student interns, writers and editors spent a considerable amount of ink on the emerging youth movement. In addition to producing formidable activists in their own right, it undergirded the passion that spurred Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign during the presidential primaries and made the movement to abolish the use of super delegates in the days after the election about more than just sour grapes.

The occasion of the 40th anniversary and its emphasis on youth seemed to infuse Huff and Roth with hopefulness in Project Censored and the good hands doing its work. But the 2016 election cycle did something else.

The Junk Food News chapter is co-written by Huff and Nolan Higdon, a professor of English, communications and history in the San Francisco Bay Area. Examples of Junk Food News that have distracted Americans range from Trump’s refusal to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to the breathless reporting on Trump’s every tweet.

12

2.21.18 - 2.27.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

Huff and Higdon characterize this coverage as a backlash in response to Trump not allowing corporate media to hobnob with the power elites. Besides, Project Censored described the White House dinner as a means for the media to ingratiate themselves to power rather than speak truth to power.

This unhealthy diet of junk news displaced news about the widespread famine in Yemen, a region raked by a 2-year-old war led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the United States, which left more than 10,000 dead and 40,000 wounded in the region. A United Nations report estimated that more than 90 percent of Yemen’s citizens are experiencing famine and malnutrition.

Huff and Higdon described the Olympic Summer Games of 2016 as a media spectacle, particularly after the corporate media latched onto the story of the four U.S. Olympic swimmers who lied about being robbed at gunpoint after vandalizing a gas station bathroom and being stopped by an armed security guard. Project Censored contrasted the slap on the wrist these swimmers received with the treatment of gold medalist Gabby Douglas when it appeared that she didn’t put her hand over her heart during the medal ceremony.

This news displaced coverage of “flooding on a historic scale” in Louisiana. Project Censored noted that “while the damage caused was less than that of Hurricane Katrina, 20,000 residents had to be rescued, 10,000 were placed in shelters, and several people lost their lives.”

Huff and Higdon also highlighted the Academy Awards’ un-scandalous scandal in which La La Land was mistakenly announced as Best Picture. It took only two minutes until the film Moonlight was announced as the real winner, but Huff and Higdon noted that this non-scandal scandal obscured major news in that almost 550 community leaders, elected officials, business moguls, health officials and politicians called for doubling the strength of the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative, a clean air and healthy climate program.

Huff and Higdon noted that “a gathering of this size to enact policies to prevent further climate change is certainly worthy of major attention. But instead, the American public was treated to endless punditry on who was responsible for the year’s Best Picture blunder.”

Alternative Reality and Reportage Huff and Higdon recounts how Huff and former Project Censored director Peter Phillips argued in 2010 that the United States was facing a truth emergency. They assert that “in the United States today, the rift between reality and reporting has reached its end. There is no longer a mere credibility gap, but rather a literal truth emergency. This is a culmination of the failures of the Fourth Estate to act as a truly free press.”

Huff and Higdon conclude that little has changed. In the recent edition of Project Censored, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons on his own people is a primary example.

This attack was used to justify Trump’s order to fire 59 Tomahawk missiles on a country torn by civil war.

Project Censored pushes back against the notion that critiquing the corporate press pushing the Bashar al-Assad chemical weapon attack as tantamount to being pro-al-Assad. Indeed, Project Censored adds nuance that should be applied to the Trump administration and the role of the Russians in the 2016 presidential elections.

Huff and Higdon wrote: “This is a complicated matter, to be sure, one that even sparks vivid disagreements among the anti-imperialist and the pacifist left in the United States. To question official narratives should not mean people are automatically pro-Assad — or pro-Putin, for that matter. More importantly, what does it mean to be pro-truth in a post-truth world, when the truth can be elusive, especially in an environment addled by propaganda coming from many sides?”

Huff and Higdon note that the corporate press’ engagement in news abuse regarding Syria is an attempt to build public support for U.S. invasion, much like the second war in Iraq a decade earlier.

Project Censored wrote, “This makes accurate reporting and publishing of diverse perspectives all the more crucial.”

Huff and Higdon argue that the countermeasure to news abuse and propaganda is an informed citizenry with strong critical thinking skills. Project Censored actually goes a little further than that by saying that the level of critical thinking required now goes beyond simply evaluating information based on conformity with existing knowledge. Huff and Higdon argue that Americans’ thought process must embrace perspectives at odds with “prevailing wisdom or personal views” based on the evaluation of reality.

Huff and Higdon identified a few different and daunting cases where this

form of education is applicable. One of those examples was the aim of right-wing personality Glenn Beck and pseudo-historian David Barton to offer training camps to teach graduating high school students their revisionist history. They used the words of regular Salon writer Amanda Marcotte to describe their historical narrative, saying that it is “one that valorizes straight white men as humanity’s natural leaders and grants Christian fundamentalism a centrality to American history that it does not, in reality, have.”

Marcotte also noted, “In Barton’s history, the founding father idea of government was rooted in fundamentalist Christianity, instead of enlightenment philosophy, and the contributions of people of color are minimized in service of centering Christian white men as the righteous shepherds guiding everyone else.”

Huff and Higdon also argue that schools should teach media literacy as core curriculum to help fight against news abuse and fake news. Project Censored noted that the U.S. education system has drifted to the same for-profit model of information dissemination as the mass media, yielding many of the same results.

Huff and Higdon cite critical theory scholar Henry Giroux, who notes that an effective “democracy cannot exist without informed citizens and public spheres and educational apparatuses that uphold standards of truth, honesty, evidence, facts and justice. Under Trump, disinformation masquerading as news has become a weapon for legitimating ignorance and civic illiteracy.

“Artists, educators, young people, journalists and others need to make the virtue of truth-telling visible again. We need to connect democracy with a notion of truth-telling and consciousness that is on the side of economic and political justice, and democracy itself. If we are going to fight for, and with, the most marginalized people, there must be a broader understanding of their needs. We need to create narratives and platforms in which those who have been deemed disposable can identify themselves and the conditions through which power and oppression bear down on their lives.”

More Inconvenient Truths Huff and Higdon recounted the brief history of the term “fake news” since Trump was elected president. The authors noted that during one week in January 2017, the trend of people researching the term “fake news” on Google jumped 100fold above pre-election levels. Trump and his supporters denounced any critiques of the new administration, such as CNN for questioning the validity of his statements as fake news.

But Project Censored noted that Trump and his underlings were not alone in labeling inconvenient truths as fake news.

The Democratic National Committee was also guilty, as it sought to explain how

Hillary Clinton lost to Trump. Project Censored noted that the partisan practice of labeling inconvenient truths as fake news undermined credible journalism while distracting the public from the barrage of actual fake news flooding our global society.

This was reminiscent of a Ron Suskind story in the New York Times Magazine more than a decade ago in which the phrase “reality-based community” was used by an aide in the George W. Bush administration. The term was a phrase used to denigrate critics of the administration’s policies who were basing their judgments on facts.

Suskind wrote: “The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as ‘people who believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ ‘That’s not the way the world really works anymore,’ he continued. ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors. . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.’”

The source was later revealed to be political operative and Bush administration adviser Karl Rove, but he has denied it.

Huff and Higdon noted that the internet’s promise of delivering endless information to circumvent a post-truth world has not succeeded in producing a well-informed populace. Instead, the inflation of spurious information coupled with an education system that does not teach critical media literacy to students and does not show them how to navigate and participate in the digital world has resulted in a dystopia of falsehoods that are now referred to as “alternative facts.”

This post-truth environment, they argue, gave rise to a term defined as an outright lie that is introduced and then used as evidence to support a desired conclusion.

Among the examples Project Censored used include: Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s claiming three times that a terror attack occurred in Atlanta, Ga. U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson claiming that African American slaves were immigrants who worked hard and found success in America, without socio-economic relevancy or historical context.

The Trump administration claiming that the resistance to their repeal and replace Obamacare were paid protesters.

Huff and Higdon argue that the ability to embrace dissonant facts is a skill set needed now more than ever, when inconvenient truths are labeled fake news. They argue that this state of affairs has resulted in a post-truth world.

After laying this groundwork, Project Censored shifts to the Democratic National Convention and alleged Russian

interference in the 2016 presidential election. From the start, Project Censored makes the argument that the Russian hacking narrative, propagated by the corporate media invested in Clinton’s bid for the White House, is an example of an alternative fact designed to deflect attention away from Clinton’s deficiencies as a candidate.

Huff and Higdon cite the Washington Post and the website PropOrNot that were purported to have uncovered the media outlets that served as dupes of Russian hackers with a series of algorithms designed to analyze the web content of media outlets. The Post reprinted a list created by PropOrNot. Project Censored noted that under threat of lawsuits, they published a partial retraction. Project Censored, using a quote by Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibibi, argues that the Russian story was a distraction from the pre-existing problems within the Democratic Party. Taibibi, and by extension, Project Censored is correct.

For Huff and Higdon, the question was whether Russian interference had a direct, demonstrable impact on Clinton losing the election. The answer has been a resounding “no,” regardless of the steady drip of leaks regarding the alleged collusion of Trump’s campaign with the Russian government. The fact remains that Clinton, with help from the Democratic National Committee, lost to a candidate who should not have had any chance of winning.

Huff and Higdon note that fact-checking would not be enough to counter fake news. But fake news is not the only threat.

Blacklists like the one used by sites like PropOrNot that include legitimate journalistic outlets as fake news, or the passage of legislation that literally bans the media from lying. Huff and Higdon note that the corporate press has assisted in creating some of these new threats such as the weaponizing of fake news.

The pair acknowledges the daunting task of making these times and nation more hospitable to a more free and democratic place, they write: “The failures of the corporate media and education system have already contributed to the current post-truth environment by creating nothing short of an epistemological crisis. This has proven to be detrimental to our democratic process and an affront to the First Amendment rights of the American people.

“Creating the better world we envision will not depend on rewriting recent history to suit our purposes or flatter our illusions, but rather will depend on creating an ever more democratic, diverse and critical free press. Without progress on building critical media literacy, if there’s a hell below, like Curtis Mayfield said, ‘We all going to go.’” SNT Terelle Jerricks is managing editor of Random Lengths News.

Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact

Sources of Information and Assistance The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure.

In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

playing poker, a wild card refers to a card that can be used as any card the cardholder wants it to be. If the two of hearts is deemed wild before the game begins, it can be used as an ace of diamonds, jack of clubs, queen of spades, or anything else. That’s always a good thing!

In the game of life, a wild card is the arrival of an unforeseen element that affects the flow of events unpredictably. It might derail your plans, or alter them in ways that are at first inconvenient but ultimately beneficial. It may even cause them to succeed in an even more interesting fashion than you imagined they could. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you’ll be in the Wild Card Season during the next four weeks. Any and all of the above definitions may apply. Be alert for unusual luck.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you gorge on

10 pounds of chocolate in the next 24 hours, you will get sick. Please don’t do that. Limit your intake to no more than a pound. Follow a similar policy with any other pleasurable activity. Feel emboldened to surpass your normal dosage, yes, but avoid ridiculous overindulgence. Now is one of the rare times when visionary artist William Blake’s maxim is applicable: “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” So is his corollary, “You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.” But keep in mind that Blake didn’t say, “The road of foolish, reckless exorbitance leads to the palace of wisdom.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Have you ever

had a rousing insight about an action that would improve your life, but then you failed to summon the willpower to actually take that action? Have you resolved to embark on some new behavior that would be good for you, but then found yourself unable to carry it out?

Most of us have experienced these frustrations.

The ancient Greeks had a word for it: akrasia. I bring it up, Gemini, because I suspect you may be less susceptible to akrasia in the next four weeks than you have ever been. I bet you will consistently have the courage and command to actually follow through on what your intuition tells you is in your best interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) “There is no such

thing as a failed experiment,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller, “only experiments with unexpected outcomes.” That’s an excellent guideline for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when questions are more important than answers, when explorations are more essential than discoveries, and when curiosity is more useful than knowledge. There will be minimal value in formulating a definitive concept of success and then trying to achieve it. You will have more fun and you will learn more by continually redefining success as you wander and ramble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) During World War II,

British code-breakers regularly intercepted and deciphered top-secret radio messages that high-ranking German soldiers sent to each other. Historians have concluded that these heroes shortened the war by at least two years. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will inspire you. I believe your own metaphorical code-breaking skills will be acute in the coming weeks. You’ll be able to decrypt messages that have different meanings from what they appear to mean. You won’t get fooled by deception and misdirection. This knack will enable you to home in on the elusive truths that are circulating, thus saving you from unnecessary and irrelevant turmoil.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In April 1972,

three American astronauts climbed into a spacecraft and took a trip to the moon and back. On the second day of the 11-day jaunt, pilot Ken Mattingly removed and misplaced his wedding ring. In the zero-gravity conditions,

22

2.21.18 - 2.27.18 | syracusenewtimes.com

it drifted off and disappeared somewhere in the cabin. Nine days later, on the way home, Mattingly and Charlie Duke did a space walk.

When they opened the hatch and slipped outside, they found the wedding ring floating in the blackness of space. Duke was able to grab it and bring it in. I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will recover a lost or missing item in an equally unlikely location, Virgo. Or perhaps your retrieval will be of a more metaphorical kind: a dream, a friendship, an opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) According to British philosopher Alain de Botton, “Maturity begins with the capacity to sense and, in good time and without defensiveness, admit to our own craziness.” He says that our humble willingness to be embarrassed by our confusion and mistakes and doubts is key to understanding ourselves. I believe these meditations will be especially useful for you in the coming weeks, Libra. They could lead you to learn and make use of robust new secrets of self-mastery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) During the next

four weeks, there are three activities I suspect you should indulge in at an elevated rate: laughter, dancing and sex. The astrological omens suggest that these pursuits will bring you even more health benefits than usual. They will not only give your body, mind and soul the precise exercise they need most; they will also make you smarter and kinder and wilder. Fortunately, the astrological omens also suggest that laughter, dancing and sex will be even more easily available to you than they normally are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The little

voices in your head may have laryngitis, but they’re still spouting their cracked advice.

Here’s another curiosity: You are extra-attuned to the feelings and thoughts of other people.

I’m tempted to speculate that you’re at least temporarily telepathic. There’s a third factor contributing to the riot in your head: People you were close to earlier in your life are showing up to kibitz you in your nightly dreams.

In response, I bid you to bark “Enough!” at all these meddlers. You have astrological permission to tell them to pipe down so you can hear yourself think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Paleontologist

Jack Horner says that developmental biologists are halfway toward being able to create a chickenosaurus: a creature that is genetically a blend of a chicken and a dinosaur. This project is conceivable because there’s an evolutionary link between the ancient reptile and the modern bird. Now is a favorable time for you to contemplate metaphorically similar juxtapositions and combinations, Capricorn. For the foreseeable future, you’ll have extra skill and savvy in the art of amalgamation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “Be stubborn

about your goals but flexible about your methods.” That’s the message I saw on a woman’s T-shirt today. It’s the best possible advice for you to hear right now. To further drive home the point, I’ll add a quote from productivity consultant David Allen: “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” Are you willing to be loyal and true to your high standards, Aquarius, even as you improvise to uphold and fulfill them?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In her novel The

Round House, writer Louise Erdrich reminisces about how hard it was, earlier in her life, to yank out the trees whose roots had grown into the foundation of her family’s house. “How funny, strange, that a thing can grow so powerful even when planted in the wrong place,” she says.

Then she adds, “Ideas, too.” Your first assignment in the coming weeks, my dear Pisces, is to make sure that nothing gets planted in the wrong place. Your second assignment is to focus all your intelligence and love on locating the right places for new seeds to be planted.
