ORANGE GIANT SLAYERS BOOST BOEHEIM’S WIN COLUMN TO 1,000

s Syracuse University men’s basketball fans know, Coach Jim Boeheim can get a little cranky at post-game news conferences.

But Boeheim must have eaten a Snickers before addressing the media following the Orange’s thrilling 66-62 come-from-behind victory over No. 9 Virginia Feb. 4 at the Carrier Dome.

He was complimentary. He was revealing. He was contrite. And he was funny. Very funny. Maybe that’s what 1,000 career wins will do for a coach.

WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT BOEHEIM’S 1,000TH

Jim Boeheim: “I know how many wins I’ve had and I’m very proud of it.”

SU guard John Gillon: “We love seeing coach happy because he works so hard, he cares so much, (and) just to see his work pay off means a lot to me and for me to be able to help him (win his 1,000th game) and be just a little part of it is huge.” Virginia coach Tony Bennett: “He’s a terrific coach; what he’s done, how long he’s been here. Being a coach’s son, my father (Dick) coached for 40-some years, you marvel at someone who can last. He’s his own guy, I like that. What you see is what you get.” SU forward Tyler Lydon: “Coach is different. He’s laid back outside of basketball. He’s talkative and all that, but he’s more laid back. He just loves this game so much and you see the passion because it is oozing out of him. It’s tough to describe coach, but we all love him. I think he’s the best coach ever and I’m so honored to be here.” SU forward Andrew White: “This is an era where coaches want to be seen and noticed. Coach Boeheim puts the system in and he sits in his chair and lets his guys go out and make plays. That’s been the biggest thing for me and for some of the other guys on this team because he doesn’t do it for any credit or attention. He really does just live to win. There’s no extracurricular activity to him. That’s why I love playing for him as a coach.” 2.8.17 - 2.14.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

Boeheim, now in his 41st season at Syracuse, notched his 1,000th career win against Virginia and became only the second coach in Division I men’s basketball history to reach 1,000. The only other Division I coach with 1,000 wins is Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, one of Boeheim’s best friends who’s at 1,061 entering the Thursday, Feb. 9, showdown against North Carolina. But according to the NCAA power brokers in Indianapolis, the win was Boeheim’s 899th as 101 Orange wins between 2004-2007 and 2010-2012 were vacated because of NCAA violations. And under NCAA rules, Syracuse could not acknowledge the win as Boeheim’s 1,000th, and that also made Boeheim reluctant to talk about it. But that didn’t stop the Dome crowd of 27,553 — the largest crowd of the college basketball season — from celebrating the feat, as many fans waved signs congratulating Boeheim on No. 1,000 and the Syracuse students stormed the court following the game. And it didn’t stop Boeheim from remaining on the court for a few minutes to wave to fans and bask in the upset win and milestone achievement. “I’m just happy to win this game. This was a huge game for us,” Boeheim said at the post-game “presser.” “We had to win this game. The number that I’m concerned about going into today was 15. We had to get to 15 (wins on the season) today. “The crowd was so instrumental in the game and that’s what I was trying to show them,” he added. “They were a big part of this win, a big part.” Boeheim opened his news conference by giving credit to assistant coaches Mike Hopkins and Gerry McNamara for suggesting that the Orange spread the floor on offense in the second half and let Tyus Battle and Andrew White exploit their one-on-one mismatches. Battle and White each scored 23 points as Syracuse rallied

from a 12-point halftime deficit. Later, in a rare peek into his soul, Boeheim admitted that he’s “very sensitive” to criticism after losses. And he was correct when he said that after losses the blogs are filled with comments from “haters” about how the game has passed Boeheim by, the 2-3 zone defense doesn’t work anymore, etc. You wonder what they would say if Boeheim hadn’t taken the Orange to two Final Fours in the past four seasons. “I’m very sensitive, always have been, always will be, and I don’t think that’s a bad characteristic to have,” Boeheim said. “I care what people think. That’s why I don’t read that stuff when we’re losing because I feel bad enough. I don’t want to feel worse.” And finally, Boeheim addressed the NCAA violations in a roundabout way by saying “I take responsibility for all that’s happened here in my time here.” The men’s program has been severely penalized by the NCAA twice in Boeheim’s 41year tenure, and while it’s fair to argue the merits of many NCAA rules, the fact is that the schools sign off on the rules and therefore must play by them. “Obviously, there’s good and bad, bad losses, bad decisions, bad things that happened,” Boeheim said. “That’s life. That’s what life’s about. The key is, do you get through it? Do you move on to the next stage? That’s all we try to do. Whatever happens, happens. Whatever the results are, you have to own it, and you have to step up.” Surely, Boeheim has publicly praised his assistant coaches, talked about being sensitive, and taken responsibility for what happens with his program, but all three in one news conference? Stop the presses! And the best part about it was that Boeheim sprinkled in the wry sense of humor that the national media has witnessed far more than the local media.

When told that a syracuse.com poll showed that the majority of fans would count the Virginia win as No. 1,000, Boeheim quipped, “They took a poll and said Hillary Clinton would be president, too. That didn’t work out so good.” He also added, “I’m glad that poll was taken, and the 2 percent (who didn’t think it was No. 1,000) went to Georgetown.” When asked if he noticed the congratulatory signs in the crowd, Boeheim smiled and said, “I can’t see that far away.” And he said the best part about the win was that, “When I go to see my daughter and son play tonight (for Jamesville-DeWitt High School), now I don’t have to sneak in.” Boeheim, who turned 72 in November, has said he will stick with his plan to retire following next season. Here’s hoping that the Boeheim we’ll see for the rest of this season and next will be the one who we saw after the Virginia game — for our sake and for his. SNT

KRAMER By Jeff Kramer

KEEPIN’ IT SURREAL WITH FAB FREDERICK DOUGLASS When President Trump let it slip last week that Frederick Douglass is still alive, a lot of my media colleagues laughed at him. They saw it as more evidence that most homing pigeons have a deeper grasp of American history than the president. “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice,” the president said. While the rest of the media snickered, I picked up the phone and invited the legendary abolitionist, who still lives in Rochester, to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que here in Syracuse. Ever gracious and not looking a day over 160, he arrived in a late-model Jetta, scarf flapping in the breeze. Douglass will play two sold-out shows at the Landmark Theatre Feb. 17 and 18. Between bites of pulled pork and swigs of Syracuse Pale Ale we plowed through a

variety of topics. Frederick: So what’s this I hear about a 10-hour-a-week job for $84,000 a year in the Syracuse mayor’s office? How do I get one of those? Jeff: You’ll probably want to continue heading east to Albany. They have a lot of those kinds of goodies there. But you’ll need a connection. Frederick: So let me get this straight: This guy makes $84,000 a year working for Syracuse for 10 hours a week, and he doesn’t even have to live in Syracuse? Jeff: Correct. Frederick: That’s freedom on a scale even I never imagined. Albany must be the Promised Land! Jeff: I wouldn’t go that far, but they take care of their friends. Frederick: Speaking of which, what’s going on with that new Film Hub? Jeff: Film what?

Relax. Rejuvenate. Reimagine. 327 W. Fayette St. | www.purecny.com | 315.475.7873 2.8.17 - 2.14.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

Frederick: The $15 million Central New York Film Hub! That big empty building in the middle of nowhere that looks like a biological weapons testing factory. Jeff: I have no idea what you are talking about. Frederick: It exists! For real! I dropped by there this morning, thinking someone might want to make a movie about me. Thought maybe I’d flag down Morgan Freeman and pitch my biopic. Jeff: Any luck? Frederick: I didn’t see a single actor, director, celebrity, nobody. Not even Arsenio. Jeff: There’s always Alexander and Catalano. Frederick: Who? Jeff: The Heavy Hitters. Lawyers. Their offices are close. Frederick: Are they the ones who fought to overturn the Fugitive Slave Law? Jeff: Not exactly. They’re personal injury lawyers. They do a lot of TV commercials. Around here, that counts as being a celebrity. Frederick: Do you think they’d do my movie? Jeff: Maybe if you wear a neck brace. Have you been injured? Any neck pain? Lower back twinges, stuff like that? Frederick: I’m sure I can come up with something. How’d you get to be so tight with these Heavy Hitter guys? Jeff: I’m really not. I just stopped in and killed some time with them the other day after Harrison Ford told me he hated my script. We were all a little sulky. Peter seemed a little down on the Film Hub project, too.

Frederick: Why’s that? Jeff: He said, “I can’t even think of any accidents that occurred during construction.” I felt bad for the guy. Frederick: What else is going on in this town? Jeff: A Century of Collecting: Ceramics at the Everson from 1916 to the Present just opened. Frederick: You people know how to live. Jeff: So let’s talk about you. You’re got a remastered boxed set of your most famous speeches coming out in August, you’ve got a hot new restaurant in Midtown, Freddy D’s. Did I read somewhere that you’re a snowboarder? Frederick: Damn straight. Right after we finish here I’m heading to Greek Peak to Shred the Gnar. Jeff: How do you do it, Frederick? I mean, you’re almost 200 years old. Frederick: I do yoga. I keep a positive attitude. I watch my carbs. Mind if I have that last piece of catfish? Jeff: Knock yourself out. Can you offer a sneak preview of what you’ll be talking about at the Landmark? Frederick: I’ll touch on my meetings with Abraham Lincoln at the White House. Those were fascinating. Jeff: Based on those experiences, would you want to meet the current president? See all that crazy up close and personal? Frederick: Well, there’s an old saying, by me, I believe: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Jeff: That sounds like a yes. Frederick: Yes, but I’m not holding my breath for an invite. SNT

The inaugural Trump Tuesday on Jan. 31. Michael Davis photo

DIVERSE DISSENTERS ON THE MARCH It’s no big surprise that many Onondaga County residents are unhappy with President Donald Trump’s agenda. After all, voters here supported Hillary Clinton over Trump 52.4 to 39.8 percent. (Trump beat Clinton in Cayuga, Madison and Oswego counties.) What is unusual, at least in recent memory, are the large crowds that have taken to the streets several times since Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. The first rallies took place just a day after Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The Women’s March in Seneca Falls and Syracuse in Solitary drew 8,000-plus people and 2,000-plus, respectively. Those events had been in the works since just days after the presidential election, but participation far exceeded organizers’ expectations. More than 1,000 people headed to Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport Sunday, Jan. 29, for a hastily planned protest responding to Trump’s executive orders on refugees and immigrants. Marches opposing the refugee ban also took place at Syracuse University and Le Moyne College. About 75 people attended the first Trump Tuesday on Jan. 31, hosted by Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. Two days later, a couple hundred people rallied at the Hanley Federal Building to urge Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer to fight Trump’s Cabinet appointments and his anti-environment agenda. All of these protests have drawn people who never before joined a public protest,

and the crowds are more diverse in terms of age and race than the majority of local protests in recent years. To paraphrase Trump: What the hell is going on? Veteran Syracuse activists Ed Kinane and Ann Tiffany can’t remember such large, passionate crowds at local protests. “Clearly, Trump has struck a nerve with people,” Tiffany said. “It’s very heartening,” Kinane said. “I think it’s awakening an empathy in people.” Grant Reeher, director of SU’s Campbell Public Affairs Program, agreed that the size of the protests is noteworthy, but he warned against facile comparisons to other protests. He noted that the recent protests followed a highly partisan presidential election, which few (Reeher included) did not expect Trump to win. Nor should we underestimate the power of social media to mobilize people quickly, he said. For context, note that about 450 people attended a January 2003 rally (featuring the late folk singer Pete Seeger) protesting the impending invasion of Iraq. Ten counter-protesters held signs supporting then-President George Bush that day, according to a local news account. About 100 people participated in a Syracuse protest marking the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2008. “In the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement things were being disrupted in some very profound ways,” Reeher NEXT PAGE syracusenewtimes.com | 2.8.14 - 2.14.17

Continued from page 7 said. “The ideologies here are reversed, but we’re talking about something that is striking pretty deep.” He attributes the large public response to people’s shock at Trump’s electoral victory. “They can’t believe this happened,” he said. “I think the proximity to a shocking election outcome following a very divisive campaign is probably adding fuel to this.” Reeher wonders, though, if any Republicans are showing up. (At least one pro-Trump person attended the Jan. 31 Trump Tuesday event, and a few people the Syracuse New Times interviewed in Seneca Falls said they voted for Trump but are concerned about his treatment of women, the future of the Affordable Care Act and a reversal of Roe vs. Wade.) “Is this Democrats showing their anger and disgust at President Trump’s election, in addition to their general objection to the policies?” he asked. “I don’t think these things can be easily parsed. It’s hard to see if it’s a nonpartisan response.” Nor can we discount Trump’s style as a factor, he added. “What Trump is doing is driving a spike into things,” he said. “This is not a long, drawn-out series of discussions about tweaking Obamacare. It was an executive order. Bam!” Also unusual is the high-profile participation of Miner, Syracuse’s mayor. In addition to hosting Trump Tuesday (Jan. 31’s focused on local residents who would be affected by the loss of the Affordable Care Act), she spoke at the airport protest and delivered a well-received speech in Seneca Falls Jan. 21. Miner has never been shy about her position on divisive issues. In September 2015, for example, she criticized U.S. Rep. John Katko, a Republican, for voting to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. She also told a television reporter she used Planned Parenthood as a college and law school student. In summer 2014, Miner supported a proposal for Syracuse to house unaccompanied Central American children awaiting deportation hearings. And ahead

of Trump’s inauguration she announced in her State of the City address that, “As long as I am mayor, Syracuse will be a sanctuary city for vulnerable families who had the misfortune of being born in a wartorn corner of our world.” Miner’s second four-year term as mayor ends on Dec. 31; she cannot seek a third, consecutive term. But she insists that has nothing to do with why she’s been so vocal. (She said she has not yet decided what she’ll do when her term ends.) “I believe that I have been authentic throughout my entire career,” she said last week in an interview with the Syracuse New Times. “I didn’t fight Destiny or COR (Development) because it was popular. I thought it was the right thing to do. This is just another example of that.” Trump’s policies are unusual in our modern history, she said. But she cited the hateful rhetoric of the Know Nothing Party of the mid-19th century, which opposed immigrants and Roman Catholics,

and critics of President John F. Kennedy, who said the Vatican would influence his policies. “We have gone through these dark periods that are not parallel to our values as Americans,” she said. “I don’t know if there has ever been this kind of crisis before with other Syracuse mayors.” The executive orders on refugees and immigrants resonate with her family story and her experience as Syracuse’s mayor, she said. “My family came here to escape the potato famine,” she said. “They were chased out of Ireland because they were Roman Catholic.” Her family keeps a sign in their home that says, “No Irish need apply.” “Our extended family never wanted to forget,” she said. She’s also watched refugees thrive in Syracuse, a theme she stressed during the Jan. 31 Trump Tuesday gathering. “They come from all over the world and want nothing more than to live in peace

and raise their family in peace,” she said. “As a rule, they have a great work ethic. They often don’t speak English and learn it. They start off with minimum-wage jobs and start their own businesses. It is just an inspiring story that I see every day as mayor.” The day after the election, refugees living in Syracuse called Miner to say they feared for their safety under a Trump presidency. “It was a stunning concept to me that someone could respond to an election by being afraid,” she said. “I’ve been in elections I’ve won and I’ve been in elections I’ve lost. I’ve never been in one where people were afraid.” In her Jan. 21 Seneca Falls speech, Miner compared the day’s events to the 19th-century campaigns for suffrage and abolition. On Jan. 31, she noted that Syracuse played an important role in fights for abolition, civil rights, LGBT issues and fair housing. “Syracuse has always led the way to justice,” she said last week. Asked if she’ll continue participating in rallies that challenge Trump’s policies, she told the Syracuse New Times, “I will continue to be an advocate for American values.” Whether Miner’s public comments or citizen protests will influence Central New York’s elected officials remains to be seen. “We’re already in polarized times,” Reeher said. “It might strengthen their resolve. Some of the folks who are more moderate or in moderate districts are probably going to pay more attention. The expectation that a typical Republican is going to turn and say, ‘This is outrageous’ is not very politically likely.” SNT Renée K. Gadoua is a freelance writer and editor.

COMING TO AMERICA GETS TOUGHER Chol Majok fled civil war in Sudan when he was just 6. After seven years in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, he came to Syracuse, one of dozens of Lost Boys to settle here. He graduated from Fowler High School and earned a bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University and a master’s from SUNY Albany. He became a U.S. citizen in 2008. But should President Donald Trump’s executive order on refugees (a policy New York’s senior senator, Charles Schumer, called “mean-spirited and un-American”) be upheld, Majok could not bring his Sudanese relatives to Syracuse. Sudan is one of the seven countries Trump’s order targets. The ban also includes Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. “Being here is a blessing for me,” Majok told about 75 people during a lunchtime rally Tuesday, Jan. 31, at Perseverance Park in downtown Syracuse. “A lot of people don’t understand that being a refugee is not a choice.

2.8.17 - 2.14.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

To be a refugee means you are running away.” Majok was one of three refugees, now American citizens and Syracuse residents, who spoke at the rally, hosted by Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner to draw attention to the effects of Trump’s policies. Miner expects to hold weekly events at Perseverance Park, the site of the 2011 Occupy Syracuse protests. Majok’s comments contradict the Trump administration claim that the refugee screening process is lax and allows entrance to people intent on harming America. “If I wanted to shoot someone, I would be in Sudan,” Majok said, adding that the process to come to the United States took four years. “If that is not enough vetting, I don’t know what is.” Jay Subedi arrived from Bhutan in Syracuse in 2008. He lives on Syracuse’s North Side, where he educates and advocates for other refugees.

He lost his job at InterFaith Works, one of two local agencies that work on refugee resettlement, as a result of Trump’s executive order. Wearing a button that reads, “I was a refugee,” Subedi said he has encouraged fearful refugees to stand up for their rights. “We came from a world where there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of assembly,” he said. “I live in a country where I have that freedom.” Cyprien Mihigo came to Syracuse from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2009. He said he dreamed of coming to America and living in a democracy. Trump’s policies are “not the way to fix the problem,” he said. Refugees “are not the enemies” of American values,” he added. — Renée K. Gadoua

executive order to Asians and Jews banned from the United States before World War II. “My biggest fear right now is that history seems to be repeating itself,” she said. The evening had lighter moments, such as when children of the Turkish Cultural Center acted out the New Testament story of the Good Samaritan. Yet most of the presentations referenced the role people of faith must play amid discriminatory policies. The Rev. Quinn Caldwell, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, used bread and cup to illustrate the central message of Communion, the ritual meal Christians share. Communion, he said, is the ultimate demonstration of love. “We would never dare to deny it,” he said. “We would never build a wall around it. All you need to be to eat at this table is hungry.” Beth Broadway, executive director of InterFaith Works, encouraged the crowd to appreciate the diversity and supportive spirit at the event. “We should not take this kind of diversity and this kind of evening for granted,” she said. “Central New York is a place where interfaith understanding and interfaith communication has been nurtured.” Should Trump make good on his threat to create a Muslim registry, “On that day I will be a Muslim and sign the registry and I urge all of us to be Muslims on that day,” she said, drawing enthusiastic applause. “This is effectively an attack on one faith tradition, and history shows us the danger” of that, Broadway said. “It is our duty as Americans to resist.” — Renee K.

KEEPING THE FAITH AMID TURMOIL For the last seven years, Interfaith Works of Central New York has helped organize a local observance of World Interfaith Harmony Week. The annual celebration of interfaith goodwill took on a sense of urgency this year, coming on the heels of President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending the entire U.S. refugee admissions system for 120 days and banning entry from seven majority-Muslim countries. People who practice a variety of faiths — including Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism and several Christian denominations — packed Syracuse’s University United Methodist Church on Monday, Feb. 6, to celebrate religious diversity and criticize Trump’s refugee policies. Representatives of 12 religious communities prayed, sang, presented skits or read poems responding to the year’s theme: “Love is the Answer.” The crowd listened closely as Gurdeep Singh Nidosra described arriving in New York City after leaving India, where Sikhs were persecuted for their religion. “I looked at the Statue of Liberty,” he said. “It gave me a sense of security. This country welcomed me and gave me the opportunity to rebuild my life.” But that feeling of security has disappeared, Singh Nidosra said. With Trump’s executive order, “There were people coming (to the United States) and knocking on our door and we were closing the door to them. We are being asked to build walls.” Hassina Adams, a member of the Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary, came to Syracuse two years ago from South Africa. She compared the refugee families affected by the

n 1984, New York Gov. Mario Cuomo gave a scathing rebuttal of Ronald Reagan at the Democratic National Convention, a speech that electrified the crowd and turned him into a political superstar. There were many Democrats, including the governor himself, who thought he might someday make a bid for the presidency. He never did. He died in 2015. Now with Donald Trump in the White House and the Democratic Party out of power at the federal level and in many states, there’s a lot of buzz about whether

or not Cuomo’s son, current New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has 2020 vision. The younger Cuomo has said only that he plans to run for a third term as governor in 2018. But many have sensed national ambitions from him for a long time. And his actions, both before the 2016 election and since, offer clues.

With Barack Obama’s tenure now over and the 25-year Clinton dynasty ancient history, the Democratic Party is effectively leaderless — and Cuomo is climbing through the ranks. One month after Trump’s election, Cuomo was elected policy chairman for the Democratic Governors Association, ensuring he has a place on the national stage. It comes at an interesting time for the party. Despite what pundits said throughout the campaign, the Democratic Party is divided, a division on full display in 2016: It has a centrist Clinton wing and a progressive Bernie Sanders wing. Clinton turned out not to be the candidate to unite the party. To many, Cuomo may look like the best of both worlds. He can easily be painted as one of “the Old Guard.” During his first term as governor, he was more or less a fiscal conservative who cut taxes on the rich. He also had a good relationship with state Senate Republicans, so much so that the left-leaning Working Families Party almost didn’t endorse him during his 2014 re-election bid, when he also faced a surprisingly tough primary challenge from Zephyr Teachout, whose liberal stance helped her capture a third of the Democratic vote. Cuomo also endorsed Hillary Clinton over Sanders ahead of the New York primaries last year. But Cuomo has also spent the last few

years fulfilling a liberal agenda, mirroring key points Sanders spoke about that made him so popular. In 2011, Cuomo signed into law a measure to make New York the fifth state to legalize gay marriage, now the rule of the land. In 2013, he passed the SAFE Act (Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement), which has become a model for tough gun restriction laws around the country. In 2014, he officially banned hydrofracking and thwarted efforts to build oil pipelines in the state. In 2015, Cuomo unveiled a plan to make renewable energy generate half of the state’s power by 2030, which laid the groundwork for the largest solar panel producing plant in North America in Buffalo and a wind farm off Long Island. In 2016, he was able to get the state Legislature to approve his plan for a $15 minimum wage and enact a paid family leave program. In 2017, now aware that 2020 will not be Hillary Clinton’s re-election year, Cuomo released budget proposals that were nothing short of a progressive’s dream. The highlight was a plan to provide free tuition to SUNY and CUNY schools for students with families making less than $125,000 a year, a plan he announced rather theatrically, with Bernie Sanders, of all people, standing by his side to cheer on the proposal. All of that provides a lot of bragging rights to both wings of the Democratic Party. But actually, right now Cuomo is already a strong leader in what may be the biggest Democratic equalizer. He is the anti-Trump.

The governor easily counts, like Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, as one of Trump’s most vocal critics. He was among the Democratic governors who signed onto a letter opposing the repeal of the Affordable Care Act over the impact it would have on states. He added New York to an interstate agreement where states award their electoral votes for president to the candidate who receives a majority of the national popular vote in an effort to undermine the Electoral College system, the reason Trump won in the first place. Cuomo also recently proposed a state constitutional amendment to codify abortion rights should Roe vs. Wade be overturned during the Trump administration or afterward. And of course, he’s been on the front lines of the war against Trump’s executive immigration order, directing officials to protect those detained at John F. Kennedy Airport, home base for the protests going on across the country. It’s safe to say Cuomo is the anti-Trump, but that may not be enough to win the White House in 2020. After all, Hillary Clinton was the anti-Trump

and she lost. To win, Cuomo must be the anti-Trump, plus one. He’s already taken the first step by acknowledging that Clinton didn’t lose because of Russia or FBI Director James Comey. “I don’t believe that Trump won,” he said at a birthday fundraiser with his donors. “I believe we lost that election. And I think what it said to the Democrats is there is a middle class that we have not been attentive to and it’s a middle class that’s been suffering for a long time.” Home run. He knows that Democrats need to reconnect with rural, white, working-class voters to have the best chance of retaking the White House in 2020. But his 2014 election results show Cuomo doesn’t appear to be doing that too well in upstate New York, a solid base of that voting bloc. Cuomo won only eight counties north of the New York City suburbs. In fact, Cuomo’s 2014 upstate win map is remarkably similar to Clinton’s performance in the presidential election. He’s clearly aware of that, which is why he crisscrossed the state last month, bringing his State of the State address to

The sweetest place in Armory Square.

different communities in small segments rather than in Albany on one day, hoping to reach out to those small-town people who helped elect Trump. And while it probably helped some, he failed to take his message past upstate’s major cities to the places he actually needs to gain support in, like Oswego County, where Barack Obama won by seven points in 2012 but Trump won by 23 points in 2016: It was the largest swing out of any other county in the state. Cuomo’s upstate results in his 2018 re-election bid would be a real test for his performance with Trump voters in the Rust Belt, who Democrats have been able to count on for 30 years but who voted against them in November. Now, that wouldn’t be Cuomo’s only hurdle. He would definitely be attacked for the scale of corruption in the state government that has gone on under his watch, some of it tied to his closest aides. He would also be criticized for START-UP NY, his jobs initiative that has been tainted by illegal activity and has produced lackluster results in a state that

is constantly rated as hostile to business. He also currently has a pretty frosty relationship with the Legislature, including members of his own party, hurting his image as a unifier. Cuomo could also be upstaged by another New Yorker: U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has gained a lot of respect in Washington and is also being watched closely as presidential material. Like Cuomo, she is up for re-election in 2018 and maintains that’s the only race she’s concentrating on. Cuomo has a few advantages as a potential presidential candidate. He has name recognition, both because of his family and by his own means. He has money, easy access to donors and a leftist success record to ride on. Now there are a lot more pages of the story left to write. But if the White House is on the final page, a page his father never made it to, he is more or less doing what he needs to be doing to get him there. SNT

FOOD

By Margaret McCormick “It’s like I’ve assembled this amazing allstar team and I’m riding the wave.’’ The Cider Mill is at the site of the former Morey’s Mill, 4221 Fay Road in Onondaga, a popular destination for cider, doughnuts and fried fish back in the day. The bar is built around cider barrels from the mill and the restaurant is decorated with artifacts and mementos from Morey’s. On a recent weeknight, Seeley says, former owner Gwynn Morey, now 98, stopped in for dinner. Dinner is served Mondays through Saturdays, starting at 5 p.m. For information, call 487-0647 or visit thecidermill.us

CIDER MILL GOES UPSCALE YEAR-ROUND

he second time around appears to be the charm for The Cider Mill. This restaurant in the western suburbs of Syracuse has survived flooding and a devastating ice dam and roof collapse in March 2015 that left the place heavily damaged.

The venue, on the site of a former mill and apple cider operation, now wears a brilliant shade of red on the outside. It has also been completely renovated inside to include a comfortable dining room with fireplaces, an updated kitchen and a bar with 16 beer and hard cider taps, dozens of wines and menu of craft cocktails. Co-owner Dan Seeley is elated after the first month of operation for what he calls “The Cider Mill 2.0.” When it debuted in 2014, The Cider Mill was a seasonal restaurant, opening in the fall and shutting down in the spring, when Diamond Catering, which operates out of the same building, kicked into high gear for the summer season of weddings and parties. Now the restaurant will be open year-round, for dinner only, offering a modern American menu with an emphasis on “everything from scratch” and more of a “fine dining”

vibe than it had previously. “We’ve had a bit of blowback about that,’’ Seeley says. “We’ve changed our direction in a way that we really wanted to go. When you have this much talent in the kitchen, you have to harness it.’’ The new menu features entrees like seared salmon with roasted beets, red quinoa pilaf and horseradish cream; braised rabbit pot pie; bone-in pork chop with smoked apple butter; and ground sirloin brisket burger with bacon jam, local cheddar and fried egg on a kimmelweck roll, with beef fat french fries on the side. Fans of The Cider Mill’s previous “comfort food with a twist’’ offerings can take comfort in specials like chicken and sweet potato biscuits, traditional meatloaf, chicken riggies, sauerbraten and pot roast poutine. Thai food specials are offered on Thursdays.

2.8.17 - 2.14.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

Check facebook.com/thecidermill.us for specials. In the kitchen is executive chef Andrew Field, who has been with The Cider Mill and Diamond Catering for several years. Before that he served as chef de cuisine at the former Club Two One at Turning Stone Resort and Casino. He’s joined by chefs Kyle McElhinney, Stephen Theiner and Liam Kane. At the front of the house is general manager John Neville, former food and beverage manager at Sky Armory. A new addition to the team is pastry chef Esther Houston, formerly of 83 & Company, who brings to the party rolls, scones, focaccia, biscuits and nightly desserts like blood orange chocolate chip cookies, sandwiched with Chambord fluff, spiced candied pistachios and raspberry jam, and served with glass of cold milk. “It’s such a pro kitchen,’’ Seeley says.

Cazenovia’s Brewster Inn, 6 Ledyard Ave., is changing things up this winter by offering a “Chef’s Table’’ series on some Friday evenings. Think of it as dinner and a show: The chef’s table offers guests an intimate, interactive experience with the inn’s chefs. Guests have the opportunity to speak with the chef, ask questions and see meal courses as they’re being prepared. The menu changes each week but typically features an appetizer, soup or salad, entree and dessert, as well as other small gifts from the chef. Wine pairings are available for an additional fee. Past themes have included South American/Peruvian cuisine and have revolved around special ingredients, like truffles. In an email announcing the events, chef de cuisine David France said, “We are very excited to bring this chef’s table series to the public. There are so many interesting cooking styles from around the world that we want to share with our guests. We ask that people come with an open mind and a culinary curiosity. We promise we can offer something fun, different and always delicious.” Remaining dates in the series are Feb. 24 (traditional Spanish tapas) and March 3, 10, 24 and 31. Menus are posted the Monday before each event at thebrewsterinn.com/friday-chef-s-table and facebook.com/thebrewsterinn. The Brewster Inn serves dinner nightly, with Sunday brunch served on a seasonal basis, March through December. For information, call 655-9232.

VISION QUEST Mayoral candidate Alfonso Davis has solutions for his hometown By Walt Shepperd

Alfonso Davis netted 25 percent of the vote running in the 2013 mayoral primary against incumbent Stephanie Miner. (Pat Hogan was also in that race.) Four years before he had logged 11 percent against Miner, Joe Nicoletti and Carmen Harlow. In mid-December he announced he was running again. “This time I’ll win,” Davis says calmly. “People are tired of the status quo.” Four years ago, he recalls, his support was heavily from the East Side. “There was low turnout from the communities of color,” he reflects, adding that his early start this time will enable him to get people registered. If successful, Davis would be the first Syracuse mayor from those communities. He is not, however, looking past the September primary. “In order to see my name in November,” he reminds people, “you’ve got to vote in September.” With a potentially crowded field of Democratic candidates, Davis notes his biggest challenge, aside from the crucial task of raising funds, will be getting people who feel disfranchised out to vote. With a degree in elementary education from SUNY Oswego and human services from Onondaga Community College, having worked in the Syracuse City School District and the Syracuse Housing Authority, and with tenure as a certified AIDS educator, Davis knows those people whose votes he is seeking. Currently a financial services representative for MassMutual Central New York, Davis helps people interested in where they are and where they would like to be with their financial matters. 2.8.17 - 2.14.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

The first thing he would do as mayor, he says, would be to sit down with representatives of the local small business community to see how they feel his administration could help them. “And,” he emphasizes, “how they can help me.” What is your job description for the mayor of Syracuse? Visionary. Problem solver. Leader. A visionary is someone who sees the city in its entirety. I am a person who is willing to bring new coalitions of people to the table and I understand the power of planning with purpose. This means I will work block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, to effect real and lasting change for our city. I believe that a city’s greatest asset is its people. As a visionary I will not be afraid to tackle the tough questions nor fail to ensure that city residents are always valued as stakeholders. For example, every successful American city has a thriving small business sector. With that being said, you have to support small businesses systemically from start to success. Next, our children are our present and future. It is imperative that we have a comprehensive program in the city schools to create pathways from school to the workforce for those who are not college-bound, and to set up work opportunities so our children, once college-educated, want to return home. As a problem solver, I plan to approach crime in our city by understanding that it is a multifaceted problem. We must fight crime vigorously, but know that we must do a few things in tandem to stop the cycle, such as creating job opportunities

for those who are jobless and living in poverty, help those who have dropped out of school or fallen through the cracks, and make changes in the way things are done to erase the overwhelming sense of apathy and hopelessness. Equally as important is the need for a plan to help spur economic growth to revitalize neighborhoods, strengthen our schools, and tout Syracuse as the heart of the region. Syracuse is centrally located and we are able to reach multiple metropolitan cities in six to eight hours, and this makes us an attractive place for business and tourism. Also we have one of the greatest natural resources known to man: lots of water, which tastes great. How many products use water to be made? Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t those products be made right here in Syracuse? We also have world-class universities and colleges. The best and brightest are being educated right here in our own backyard. A leader is someone who is approachable and people can relate to you, no matter their social, economic or racial backgrounds. I am someone who values diversity and knows it makes us stronger. I have a clear plan and I am committed to strongly lead but not afraid to empower others. Should we metropolitanize the city and county governments? At this stage of the game, no. But can we collaborate to streamline certain

services? Yes. But what I would not want to do is give up the autonomy of city residents and their ability and right to have a say in how the city is governed. Yet as public resources become more scarce, it is a question to be revisited in the future. Should we consolidate the city schools with those in the county? I am a product of the Syracuse City School District. I believe we have a good district overall. However, there are some problems and challenges. Yet I have chosen to invest my most precious assets in it: my children, all of whom attend city schools. So this issue is an important one to me. But I must acknowledge that consolidation of districts is complex and many factors must be considered: how such a district would be constructed; which property values are to be used; and how resources are to be distributed. It is vital that city residents have as much input as possible into how their children are educated. The more you conglomerate, the greater the chance there is that city residents and their issues may be displaced, ignored or forgotten. What should we do with Route 81? In 1957, when they constructed Route 81, the 15th Ward was completely dismantled. No one in that area was ever consulted or given a choice to decline it being done.

The 15th Ward was a very vibrant community that was predominately African-American. In speaking to my elders in the city, as well as my grandparents, the building of Route 81 is still a bitter pill. They feel they did not matter. Whether we tear it down and raise it another 10 feet or create a boulevard, the people who will be most impacted need to have a voice. We cannot allow history to repeat itself. The other critical aspect of this issue is we know that it is going to be a $1 billion-plus project, and to not include the people of this city in terms of jobs, contracts and access would be devastating. Under my leadership, city residents would receive their fair share. What needs to be developed in the center city? Who should be doing it and who should be paying for it? When you say center city that must include the neighborhoods that surround downtown. Each adjoining neighborhood needs to be seen as a corridor to downtown, and must be developed. This means creating parallel business areas, revitalizing the housing in the neighborhood, and rezoning if necessary to ensure that these areas can thrive and grow. Next, we cannot only create housing in the center city but businesses. This includes small businesses that are being driven away by unnecessary red tape as they attempt to set up shop or maintain a current business in downtown. Not to

mention encouraging national companies to see Syracuse as a viable option to create new business hubs. Syracuse has the poorest communities of color in the country. As mayor, what could you do? First we have to acknowledge that these communities exist. You cannot tackle a problem you fail to acknowledge. While we should not have needed to hear it from (Century Foundation professor) Dr. Paul Jargowsky, his report ensured it could no longer be ignored. Being a person born and raised on the South Side, one of these poorest communities, as mayor, I would be open to using city dollars to create incentives for local businesses willing to hire and retain city residents as employees. Also, I would sit down with our biggest employers in the area to create recruitment programs for city residents with an emphasis on those who need jobs the most. In this way, there are collaborative efforts to create careers, not just positions, with an eye toward training and retention. Too often residents of these areas are seen as liabilities instead of assets. Additionally, these communities must be allowed to participate in projects being done in the city at every level from entry jobs to being given the opportunity to win project contracts. SNT

CONTEST Meet the ULTIMATE DATE NIGHT COUPLE

S Y R A C U S E

Colleen & Mike Married nearly 15 years, Colleen and Mike are the parents of two boys and two girls ages 12, 10, 8 and 18 months. The ﬁrst-place winners were wed in a little chapel in Las Vegas and never had a formal wedding or reception. So the Valentine’s Day Ultimate Date Night is truly a special moment to celebrate their love and marriage, Colleen says. Both originally from Chittenango, Colleen and Mike have lived in Camden for 10 years, and they love the close and caring community. Their families, friends, workmates and numerous neighbors helped them come out on top in votes, Colleen says, but it also was the outpouring of good wishes expressed by many dozens more community residents (many they had never met), that was an unexpected but welcome bonus. “It has been so awesome to have peoples’ compassion for our family,” she adds. “It has been awmazing, and we really appreciate it because we’d never ever be able to do anything like this. We just are overwhelmed by all the love and support. This is something that is just for him and me. It’s an opportunity for him to relax and have a good time. It’s something that has really put a smile on my husband’s face and made it so we can have a special night together. We are really grateful for this opportunity.”

The Second-Place Couple is:

Noelle & Stephen They’ll enjoy a Valentine’s Day “sweet treat”: • An executive-suite stay at the Jefferson Clinton Hotel in Downtown Syracuse • Dinner out at Pastabilities • Sweet treats from Sweet on Chocolate • Hot buffet breakfast at the Hotel the next morning. For this couple, Valentine’s Day 2017 also is their wedding day. The dinner date and overnight stay they’ve been awarded, in a luxury hotel suite and featuring a morning breakfast buffet, will add to a sweet celebration and wonderful memories of their special occasion. Their entry notes: “Valentine’s Day is a day for people to celebrate love, but for me and my ﬁance, it is even more than that. It is also a day to commit our love to one another…

THANK YOU TO THE OTHER FINALISTS!

HOW THE CONTEST WORKED: Couples submitted photos and writeups stating why they believed they should be chosen for an ultimate date night. Judges at the Syracuse New Times selected 10 finalists from more than 80 submissions. The photos and stories of the 10 finalists were published in the Syracuse New Times and posted on the SNT Facebook page. The public, along with couples’ friends and families, were asked to vote by Facebook-“liking” and sharing the photos and stories of their favorite couple. The couple with the highest number of confirmed Facebook account likes (votes) was named as the winner. The runner-up couple had the second highest number of confirmed votes.

A special Thank you to Pastabilities and the Jefferson Clinton Hotel

“The moment we met we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together…” “Marriage means committing yourself to someone knowing that life can get messy but always choosing to push through and ﬁght for each other. Nothing means more than when someone who doesn’t have to, loves you, choses to love you anyway, regardless of your ﬂaws.”

By James MacKillop

WENDY DANN’S FLIGHT PLAN ON LOVE AND DEATH

here do we turn after suffering devastating loss? This is the implicit question posed in the world premiere of Wendy Dann’s Birds of East Africa, running through Feb. 12 at Ithaca’s Kitchen Theatre Company. Many of us in this secular age turn to consolations in nature, perhaps a pristine lake in the Adirondacks or an unquestioningly supportive cocker spaniel. When 40ish ornithologist Marion (Lena Kaminsky, in a poignant portrayal) loses her much-loved husband Jack, her heart is in ashes and her mind is reeling. One way out is to stick with her life’s work: studying the birds of the Serengeti Plain. Not that she’s so much taken with feathers in exotic colors. As she intones, “Every living thing is engaged in a symbolic relationship.” She also gets by, as Lennon and McCartney put it, with a little help from her friends. These pals are quickly revealed to be a gay couple: Stephen (Daniel Pettrow), a bit showier, always drawing attention to himself, and the morose and taciturn Nick (Gabriel Marin), who stumbles along with a pronounced and unexplained limp.

comfort seems paradoxical now as the pair has moved from New York City to chi-chi Las Vegas, and they exude the kind of disharmony that precedes a breakup. Visually, we are more drawn to Marion’s unspeaking companions, feathered creatures known as Blue Bird (Jeremiah Porter) and Red Bird (Jeremy Swift). They hover near her, especially when Marion is in reverie or seems to speak to us in her own voice. As Marion is mostly still, the birds dominate much of the action in the ﬁrst third of the 80-minute action. Director Rachel Lampert, a 20-year collaborator and pal of playwright Dann, once ran her own dance company and brings much experience to integrating dance interludes in dramatic action. Nonetheless, she has assigned the bird choreography to Tucker Davis, who has

been a close observer of avian kinetics and prescribes telling and evocative gestures. Grant Carey supplies complementary original music. Action is non-linear in Birds of East Africa. We move from place to place on the map, ﬁrst ﬂashbacking 10 years into Stephen and Nick’s relationship, then two years, as well as entering with Marion into Dream Flights out of chronology. Upstage panels signal these shifts, as there are no cues in changing sets and only subtle ones in costuming. Continuing through different modes of time and space is Marion’s determination, even obsession, with completing her study of the birds of the Serengeti. She reads passages she has composed and eventually produces a large, illustrated volume with the play’s title on the cover. Marion reads

at length from the plausible-sounding text of her book. Although this is not quite a parable, offering a lesson to the grieving widow, we understand all of the playwright’s words point to the central theme. Much of Dann’s dialogue hints and suggests, rather than shouting. As a wordsmith she has more in common with a modern poet such as Philip Larkin or Eavan Boland, than a declaiming dramatist like David Mamet. There’s no confronting or cursing in a Dann drama. Meaning wells up from subtext. She never tells us why she should cite the birds of East Africa instead of those of, say, the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge, but we figure it out. Studies from the early 20th century established that birds are rough on each other, like Tennyson’s “nature red in tooth and claw,” which is why we all use the phrase “pecking order.” In the Serengeti, Marion depicts the benign hornbill, which looks after other species, helping the mongoose to find food. She speaks of symbiotic relationships between species that sometimes come with a cost. It is just about this time that we flash back to the opening burst of Stephen and Nick’s love affair. Syracuse-raised Wendy Dann, now an associate professor at Ithaca College, has developed a national reputation in recent years as an actor, director and playwright. Before Birds of East Africa, she was probably best-known for Sammy and Me, written with Eric Jordan, on Sammy Davis Jr., which opened at Ithaca’s Hangar Theatre in 2006 and has displayed robust legs ever since. In 2002 she became the first Syracuse University Drama Department graduate to direct a play, Lee Blessing’s Chesapeake, at Syracuse Stage. And long before she became famous, Dann was a talented intern at the Syracuse New Times. SNT

MARISSA MULDER ON REINVENTING CABARET

Marissa Mulder. Stacy Sullivan photo

abaret entertainment has undergone plenty of changes since Broadway producer Jesse Lasky introduced Frenchstyle cabaret to American audiences in 1911. The performance style, often featuring a solo singer accompanied only by a piano, fell out of favor in the 1960s when rock concerts and TV dominated the entertainment scene. But in big markets such as New York City, New Orleans, Seattle and Philadelphia, cabaret now enjoys renewed popularity. In the Big Apple, a vibrant cabaret community carries the torch. And they’re boldly pushing the envelope, exploring alternative show concepts and shaping performances to appeal to 21st-century audiences. “It’s an exciting time to go outside the box,” said Marissa Mulder, a Syracuse native who has emerged as one of cabaret’s shining stars. In her 10-year career in Manhattan, the Christian Brothers Academy alumna has covered material by contemporary tunesmiths such as Julie Gold, Neil Young, Christine Lavin, Stephen Sondheim and Dar Williams and bands like Radiohead

and Nine Inch Nails. She has performed at The Carlyle, The Algonquin, 54 Below, Joe’s Pub, Birdland, and the Metropolitan Room. On June 23, 2014, she made her Carnegie Hall debut. Mulder’s sweet soprano is as memorable as her appearance. With a decidedly girlish voice and a curly cascade of crimson locks, she has won awards and earned rave reviews in New York City, but she’s not content to sit on her laurels. Rather than singing standards over and over again, Mulder actively crafts fresh approaches. For example, her new show celebrates the songs of New England tunesmith Ray LaMontagne, a reclusive guitar strummer whose compositions have been used on movie and TV soundtracks. He has also

been covered by artists as disparate as Justin Timberlake and the Zac Brown Band. Marissa Mulder will perform Be Here Now: The Songs of Ray LaMontagne at 8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 9, through Saturday, Feb. 11, 8 p.m., at the Redhouse Arts Center, 201 S. West St., on the outskirts of Armory Square. Admission costs $30; for information, visit theredhouse.org or call 362-2785. In 2013, Mulder paid homage to another offbeat artist in her show Tom. . . In His Words: The Songs of Tom Waits. Stephen Holden of The New York Times stated, “Far and away the season’s best show, everything the genre can be but almost never is.” The Tom Waits show, which also produced an award-winning CD, was directed by New York City native Lauren Fox, an intrepid cabaret singer who had previously performed shows featuring the songs of Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. In 2015 Fox staged a rather daring show called Groupies: The Muses Behind the Legends of Rock’n’Roll. Another Syracuse native, Karen Oberlin, who helped introduce Mulder to Gotham’s cabaret scene, has also gone modern. Oberlin’s recent shows heard her channeling Randy Newman and Elvis Costello. “Over the last five years, people have been branching out some more,” Mulder said in a telephone interview with the Syracuse New Times. “Karen’s Elvis Costello show was really awesome.” Oberlin produced Mulder’s Jimmy Van Heusen show and Illusions, which included “Lullaby for Nathan Charles,” a song by Oberlin’s husband, musicologist and author David Hadju. Last year Mulder starred in an adventurous theater piece titled Marilyn in Fragments, which climaxed with Trent Reznor’s “Hurt.” The New York Times praised the singer’s fearless downbeat psychological portrait of Marilyn Monroe; Mulder’s show mixed 20 songs with passages from the troubled movie icon’s diaries. This year Mulder is staging a somewhat lighter, brighter production of Ray LaMontagne’s folk-rock songs. The dozen tracks in the show include LaMontagne’s 2004 hit “Trouble,” an upbeat version of “You Are the Best Thing” and the heart-wrenching ballad, “Jolene.” “The cool thing about Ray’s music is that it’s not one style,” Mulder said. “There’s soul and some of the songs are more poppish, some more countryish. It’s a real mix.”

Mulder’s accompanists for Be Here Now will be pianist Jasper Grant and cellist Eric Wong. The instrumentation “might seem a little weird,” she admitted, “but the cello is so beautiful, so lovely. It shakes things up a little. It’s the first time I’ve ever worked with a cellist, and I’m excited about it. Eric adds something so special, especially to Ray’s ballads.” In order to sing a song with confidence, a performer must believe in the material. “I like Ray’s lyrics,” Mulder said about the Grammy-winning composer. “His poetry tells a story. It’s the same reason I was drawn to Tom Waits. The songs are simple, truthful.” LaMontagne’s soaring melodies allow her to really belt out his lyrics. “I can do more full-out singing,” she said. “What I admire about Ray is the rawness of his sound and the vulnerability he shows, especially on slow songs — that stops me in my tracks. Even if you don’t know Ray’s music, I think you’ll enjoy our show.” While the 43-year-old LaMontagne sings in a raspy baritone, Mulder’s voice is the exact opposite: delicate as lace, with the clarity of crystal and the warmth of a hearthstone. Her vocal style inspires comparisons to high-register jazz singers such as Dearie Blossom and Helen Kane. Now age 32, Mulder thinks her young woman’s voice brings a “different perspective” to LaMontagne’s alternately lush and earthy material. “People my age and younger like him,” she said. “He’s kind of a recluse, a mystery, an introvert, and that intrigues me. He’s a straight-shooter, and he does what he wants, which I find kind of cool.” And if cabaret is going to survive for another hundred years, it’s going to have to appeal to younger audiences. That’s why performers like Marissa Mulder, Karen Oberlin and Lauren Fox are putting aside the Great American Songbook in favor of contemporary composers. “We’re doing material with somewhat of an edge, drawing in a different audience,” Marissa said. “Our older audiences are faithful, and I love them, but they’re not going to be around forever.” So today’s cabaret artists are courting what Marissa called “fresh audiences” that will continue to support the genre for decades to come. And provide some job security for talented singers such as Syracuse’s Marissa Mulder. SNT

PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME. PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. 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. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANK-NYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department’s website at WWW. B A N K I N G . S TAT E . NY.US. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME

AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process. You are not required to leave your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and sale. Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay your taxes in accordance with state and local law. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” 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.

love spells. There’s a caveat, however: They will only work if you cast them on yourself. Flinging them at other people would backfire. But if you do accept that limitation, you’ll be able to invoke a big dose of romantic mojo from both your lower depths and your higher self. Inspiration will be abundantly available as you work to reinvigorate your approach to intimacy and togetherness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Using a blend of warfare and diplomacy, Napoleon extended French control over much of Western Europe. In 1804, he decided to formalize his growing sovereignty with a coronation ceremony. He departed from tradition, however. For many centuries, French kings had been crowned by the pope. But on this occasion, Napoleon took the imperial crown from Pope Pius VII and placed it on his own head. Historian David J. Markham writes that he “was simply symbolizing that he was becoming emperor based on his own merits and the will of the people, not because of some religious consecration.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you have the right to perform a comparable gesture. Don’t wait for some authority to crown you. Crown yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Here’s some advice from Scorpio writer Norman Rush: “The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.” It’s understandable that a language specialist like Rush would make the final word of the previous sentence “reading.” But you might choose a different word. And I invite you to do just that. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to devotedly carve out more time to do The Most Important Thing in Your Life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Have you heard the fable about the four blind men who come upon an elephant for the first time? The first man feels the tail and declares that the thing they’ve encountered must be a rope. The second touches one of the elephant’s legs and says that they are in the presence of a tree. The third strokes the trunk and assumes it’s a snake. Putting his hand on a tusk, the fourth man asserts that it’s a spear. I predict that this fable will NOT apply to you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t focus on just one aspect of the whole and think it’s the whole. Other people in your sphere may get fooled by shortsightedness, but you will see the big picture.

of fine wine or else something more like pungent cheese? The answer to that question will depend on how much integrity you express as you wield your clout. Be as charismatic as you dare, yes, but always in service to the greater good rather than to self-aggrandizement. You can accomplish wonders if you are saucy and classy, but you’ll spawn blunders if you’re saucy and bossy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) For now, at least,

your brain is your primary erogenous zone. I suspect it will be generating some of your sexiest thoughts ever. To be clear, not all of these erupting streams of bliss will directly involve the sweet, snaky mysteries of wrapping your physical body around another’s. Some of the erotic pleasure will come in the form of epiphanies that awaken sleeping parts of your soul. Others might arrive as revelations that chase away months’ worth of confusion. Still others could be creative breakthroughs that liberate you from a form of bondage you’ve wrongly accepted as necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Human beings upload

300 hours of videos to Youtube every minute of every day. Among that swirling flow is a hefty amount of footage devoted exclusively to the amusing behavior of cats. Researchers estimate there are now more than 2 million clips of feline shenanigans. Despite the stiff competition, I suspect there’s a much better chance than usual that your cat video will go viral if you upload it in the coming weeks. Why? In general, you Leos now have a sixth sense about how to get noticed. You know what you need to do to express yourself confidently and attract attention -- not just in regards to your cats, but anything that’s important to you.

literally been wrestling and wrangling with a sweaty angel. But if I were going to tell a fairy tale about your life lately, I’d be tempted to say this: Your rumble with the sweaty angel is not finished. In fact, the best and holiest part is still to come. But right now you have cosmic permission to take a short break and rest a while. During the lull, ratchet up your determination to learn all you can from your friendly “struggle.” Try to figure out what you’ve been missing about the true nature of the sweaty angel. Vow to become a stronger advocate for yourself and a more rigorous revealer of the wild truth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sixteenth-century Italian painter Titian was renowned for his brilliant use of color. He was also prolific, versatile and influential. In 2011, one of his paintings sold for $16.9 million. But one of his contemporaries, the incomparable Michelangelo, said that Titian could have been an even greater artist if he had ever mastered the art of drawing. It seems that Titian skipped a step in his early development. Is there any way that your path resembles Titian’s, Sagittarius? Did you neglect to cultivate a basic skill that has subtly (or not so subtly) handicapped your growth ever since? If so, the coming weeks and months will be an excellent time to fix the glitch. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Our obsessive use of digital devices has diminished our power to focus. According to a study by Microsoft, the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds -- one second less than that of a typical goldfish. I’m guessing, though, that you Capricorns will buck this trend in the coming weeks. Your ability to concentrate may be exceptional even by pre-Internet standards. I hope you’ll take opportunity of this fortunate anomaly to get a lot of important work and play done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The time is

now, Brave Aquarius. Be audacious about improving the big little things in your life. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “big little things.”) For example: Seek out or demand more engaging responsibilities. Bring your penetrating questions to sphinx-like authorities. Go in search of more useful riddles. Redesign the daily rhythm to better meet your unique needs. Refuse “necessary” boredom that’s not truly necessary. Trust what actually works, not what’s merely attractive. Does all that seem too bold and brazen for you to pull off? I assure you that it’s not. You have more clout than you imagine. You also have a growing faith in your own power to make subtle fundamental shifts. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “subtle fundamental shifts.”)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “Love does not at first mean merging, surrendering and uniting with another person,” wrote the poet Rilke, “for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished and still incoherent?” That’s an excellent meditation for you to entertain during the Valentine season, Pisces. You’re in the right frame of mind to think about how you could change and educate yourself so as to get the most out of your intimate alliances. Love “is a high inducement for the individual to ripen,” Rilke said, “to become something, to become a world for the sake of another person.” (Thanks to Stephen Mitchell for much of this translation.)
