FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19) Genius inventor
Thomas Edison rebelled against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours. Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred 10 hours of sleep per night, and liked to steal naps during the day, too. In my astrological opinion, Aries, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison. Important learning and transformation are happening in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic in your behalf.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Danish flag
has a red background emblazoned with an asymmetrical white cross. It was a national symbol of power as early as the 14th century, and may have first emerged during a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219. No other country in the world has a flag with such an ancient origin. But if Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who’s a Taurus, came to me and asked me for advice, I would urge him to break with custom and design a new flag—maybe something with a spiral rainbow or a psychedelic tree. I’ll suggest an even more expansive idea to you, Taurus: create fresh traditions in every area of your life!

Gemini musician Bob Dylan launched what has come to be known as the Never Ending Tour. It’s still going. In the past 30-plus years, he has performed almost 3,000 shows on every continent except Antarctica. In 2018 alone, at age 77, he did 84 gigs. He’s living proof that not every Gemini is flaky and averse to commitment. Even if you yourself have flirted with flightiness in the past, I doubt you will do so in the next five weeks. On the contrary. I expect you’ll be a paragon of persistence, doggedness and stamina.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The otters at a
marine park in Miura City, Japan, are friendly to human visitors. There are holes in the glass walls of their enclosures through which they reach out to shake people’s hands with their webbed paws. I think you need experiences akin to that in the coming weeks. Your mental and spiritual health will thrive to the degree that you seek closer contact with animals. It’s a favorable time to nurture your instinctual intelligence and absorb influences from the natural world. For extra credit, tune in to and celebrate your own animal qualities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Between 1977 and 1992, civil war raged in Mozambique. Combatants planted thousands of land mines that have remained dangerous long after the conflict ended. In recent years, a new ally has emerged in the quest to address the problem: rats that are trained to find the hidden explosives so that human colleagues can defuse them. The expert sniffers don’t weigh enough to detonate the mines, so they’re ideal to play the role of saviors. I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Leo. You’ll get help and support from a surprising or seemingly unlikely source.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Imagine a stairway
that leads nowhere; as you ascend, you realize that at the top is not a door or a hallway, but a wall. I suspect that lately you may have been dealing with a metaphorical version of an anomaly like this. But I also predict that in the coming weeks some magic will transpire that will change everything. It’s like you’ll find a button on the wall that when pushed opens a previously imperceptible door. Somehow, you’ll gain entrance through an apparent obstruction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Not all of the classic
works of great literature are entertaining. According to one survey of editors, writers and librarians, Goethe’s Faust, Melville’s Moby Dick and Cervantes’ Don Quixote are among the
BY ROB BREZSNY most boring masterpieces ever written. But most experts agree that they’re still valuable to read. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to commune with other dull but meaningful things. Seek out lowkey but rich offerings. Be aware that unexciting people and situations may offer clues and catalysts that you need.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Many of you Scor-
pios regard secrecy as a skill worth cultivating. It serves your urge to gather and manage power. You’re aware that information is a valuable commodity, so you guard it carefully and share it sparingly. This predilection sometimes makes you seem understated, even shy. Your hesitancy to express too much of your knowledge and feelings may influence people to underestimate the intensity that seethes within you. Having said all that, I’ll now predict that you’ll show the world who you are with more dazzle and flamboyance in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how you do that as you also try to heed your rule that information is power.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sagittarian actress and producer Deborra-Lee Furness has been married to megastar actor Hugh Jackman for 23 years. Their wedding rings are inscribed with a motto that blends Sanskrit and English, “Om paramar to the mainamar.” Hugh and Deborah-Lee say it means “we dedicate our union to a greater source.” In resonance with current astrological omens, I invite you to engage in a similar gesture with an important person in your life. Now is a marvelous time to deepen and sanctify your relationship by pledging yourselves to a higher purpose or beautiful collaboration or sublime mutual quest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In 1997, a su-
percomputer named Deep Blue won six chess matches against Chess Grand Master Gary Kasparov. In 2016, an Artificial Intelligence called AlphaGo squared off against human champion Lee Sodol in a best-of-five series of the Chinese board game Go. AlphaGo crushed Sodol, four games to one. But there is at least one cerebral game in which human intelligence still reigns supreme: the card game known as bridge. No AI has as yet beat the best bridge players. I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I am sure that in the coming weeks, no AI could outthink and out-strategize you as you navigate your way through life’s tests and challenges. You’ll be smarter than ever. P.S.: I’m guessing your acumen will be extra-soulful, as well.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) At regular in-
tervals, a hot stream of boiling water shoots up out of the earth and into the sky in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. It’s a geyser called Old Faithful. The steamy surge can reach a height of 185 feet and last for five minutes. When white settlers first discovered this natural phenomenon in the 19th century, some of them used it as a laundry. Between blasts, they’d place their dirty clothes in Old Faithful’s aperture. When the scalding flare erupted, it provided all the necessary cleansing. I’d love to see you attempt a metaphorically similar feat, Aquarius: harness a natural force for a practical purpose, or a primal power for an earthy task.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Who was the mod-
el for Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting “Mona Lisa”? Many scholars think it was Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. Leonardo wanted her to feel comfortable during the long hours she sat for him, so he hired musicians to play for her and people with mellifluous voices to read her stories. He built a musical fountain for her to gaze upon and a white Persian cat to cuddle. If it were within my power, I would arrange something similar for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because I’d love to see you be calmed and soothed for a concentrated period of time; to feel perfectly at ease, at home in the world, surrounded by beautiful influences you love. In my opinion, you need and deserve such a break from the everyday frenzy.

WONDER YEARS
Two mothers are suing the Adventure Learning Center day care in St. Louis over an incident in December 2016 when teachers organized a “fight club” among preschoolers. According to Fox 2 in St. Louis, the idea was conceived as a way to entertain the kids while the heater was broken. The 10-year-old sibling of one of the preschoolers was in the room next door and captured video of the fights with an iPad, then texted the video to his mom, Nicole Merseal, who believes the fight was broken up only because she called the director of the center. The video shows one teacher jumping up and down in excitement as another one puts “Incredible Hulk” fists on the kids, and cameras at the center recorded more than 30 minutes of fighting. While the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute, the teachers were fired and the center has been subject to increased inspections, resulting in 26 violations. On Feb. 19, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office served a civil investigative demand to Adventure Learning Center for information relating to the accusations at their facility.
BUGGING OUT
Doctors at the Hai Duong Hospital in Hai Duong Province, Vietnam, treated a man who arrived complaining of pain in his ear. Using an endoscope to look inside his ear canal, they found the cause: a live cricket digging around in the duct. United Press International reported on Oct. 26 that the doctors were able to successfully remove the cricket.
SMOOTH REACTION
On Oct. 12, an Air India Express pilot tried to guide a Boeing 737 up and away from Tiruchirappalli International Airport in Tamil Nadu, India. As the plane took off shortly after midnight, however, it hit the top of a 5-foot-tall perimeter wall and destroyed a small landing guide tower. The Washington Post reported that, despite the audible collision, the pilot told the airport director the plane’s systems were functioning normally and he was continuing toward Dubai, across the Indian Ocean. “But we found some parts of the plane, like an antenna, on the ground,” the director said. Finally, about two hours into the flight, ground control convinced
4
the pilot to return to India, where the plane landed in Mumbai. Indeed, there was a huge gash in the plane’s underbelly, and mesh fencing was wrapped around the landing gear. All 130 passengers arrived unharmed and were booked on other flights, and the pilot and co-pilot have been grounded pending a review.
BRIGHT IDEA
Two unnamed Marine Corps flyers were grounded pending an investigation after they flew a penis-shaped flight pattern over the Salton Sea on Oct. 23, the Los Angeles Times reported. The pilots were outed by a Twitter account called Aircraft Spots, which tracks flight patterns. Josef Patterson, a Marine Corps spokesman, said the jokesters are assisting with other duties in their squadron at Air Station Miramar in San Diego. They can’t take credit for the idea, though: In November 2017, a Navy jet crew flew in a similar pattern over Washington, D.C.
FLIGHT RISK
Hatam Hamad, 56, a Palestinian and American dual citizen, made a name for himself on Oct. 10 as he flew from New Orleans to Heathrow Airport in London, reported Fox News. Six hours into the flight, after swigging five servings of wine, Hamad approached New Orleans TV executive Joel Vilmenay, who was sitting with his wife and two children. “This man had his penis out and exposed within 3 inches of my face,” Vilmenay said in his statement to the Uxbridge Magistrates Court prosecutor, Wendy Barrett. Vilmenay said he stood up and asked Hamad what he was doing, whereupon Hamad “responded by grunting” and exposed himself to another passenger. At that moment, Hamad “slapped (Vilmenay) in the chest with some force.” The cabin crew was alerted, and Hamad was removed to the back of the plane, where he was guarded for the remainder of the flight. Hamad, who has no previous convictions, at first denied having assaulted anyone, but later admitted his guilt, saying he had not drunk alcohol for three months but was a nervous flyer. His prison sentence was suspended, but he was ordered to pay Vilmenay $789.
CONTINUING CRISIS
In an apparent attempt to destroy what

little brainpower he had left, 26-year-old Brandon McVay of Council Bluffs, Iowa, ate a Tide Pod, prompting a trip to the hospital. But while he was being treated in the critical care unit, McVay went on a rampage early on Oct. 4, causing thousands of dollars of damage to medical equipment, according to The Omaha World-Herald. A nurse told the responding police officer that McVay “was yelling loudly” as he broke objects in his room before proceeding to the hallway. Keyboards, computer monitors and glass valued at more than $7,500 were found littering the hallway, where McVay was subdued by security before police arrived. McVay was arrested and held at the hospital on charges of second-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in a place of business.
STRANGE BEHAVIOR
West Virginia MetroNews reported that, for Jackie Fullmer, 37, of Fairmont, West Virginia, Oct. 9 started with trying to steal car keys from a woman at knife point. When police caught up to her, she ran toward their car with a hatchet and knife, prompting a deputy to shoot her with a stun gun. Fullmer turned to verbal attacks while being transported to the Fairmont Police Department, warning officers she was going to stab them in the neck and watch their “blood drain as she drank it” — which, as it turns out, she could have done, because she had a knife hidden between her buttocks. That weapon was found during booking, and Fullmer admitted she had slashed the seat belt in the police cruiser with it before threatening to slit the officers’ throats. She was charged with threats of terrorist acts and attempted robbery.
MOTHER’S DAY
As Hermes Callijas-Gasperin’s mother cooked his dinner on Oct. 8 in Bradenton, Florida, she accidentally bumped into her 22-year-old son. That’s when he lost it, The New York Post reported, pelting her with the sausages she was frying and putting his hands on her neck. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said Callijas-Gasperin told officers he just wanted his mom to apologize, but he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION
The District of Columbia’s Department of General Services fell victim to a scam in July when officials there wired almost $700,000 to a hacker posing as a city vendor. The fraudsters gained information from a vendor’s computer system, reported The Washington Post, then created a fake email address by changing just one letter, from which they requested electronic transfers from the D.C. government. David Umansky, a spokesman for the district’s chief financial officer, told the Post that since then the city’s protocols for making vendor payments have “been modified to require additional confirmation before changing bank information.” None of D.C.’s money has been recovered.
WHY IT’S CALLED DOPE
It happens all the time: A vehicle crashes into a building, causing damage and sometimes injury, because brakes don’t function or a driver steps on the wrong pedal. In the case of Keith Rio Cavalier, 28, however, there was more to the story. WLOX reported that Cavalier drove his 1997 Toyota Tacoma into a glass wall at the Harrison County courthouse in Gulfport, Mississippi, on Nov. 10 at around 6 a.m. The building was empty, so there were no injuries, and Cavalier can be clearly seen on surveillance video climbing out of the truck and leaving the scene. When police caught up to him, Cavalier told them he intentionally struck the building in order to report drug paraphernalia had been stolen from him. It will come as no surprise that Cavalier was found to have been driving under the influence and arrested; he was held at the county jail on $25,000 bond.
IRONY DEFINED
Kids at Pierre Part Primary school in Pierre Part, Louisiana, thought they knew what to expect during Red Ribbon Week, an annual alcohol awareness program, but a school administrator threw them a curveball, reported WBRZ-TV. Rachel Turley, 49, assistant principal at the school, was on her way to work on Oct. 29 when other motorists reported that she was driving dangerously on Highway 70. Officers caught up with her at the school
and took her to a police substation, where they determined her blood alcohol content was .224, nearly three times the legal limit of .08. She was charged with DWI and careless operation. “The fact that she chose to do this on the Monday of Red Ribbon Week is a slap in the face,” commented Niki Lacoste, grandparent of a Pierre Part student.
THE JOKER IS WILD
A “killer clown” in Nottinghamshire, England, has been apprehended and sentenced to 11 weeks behind bars, plus 18 weeks that had previously been suspended, according to the BBC. Damien Hammond, 29, is a homeless and jobless man who has taken on the persona of Heath Ledger’s The Joker from The Dark Knight Rises. He admitted to what police called a “crime wave” of offenses, including terrorizing staff in retail stores, waving a gun-shaped cigarette lighter while standing in traffic and striking a police officer. He arrived at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Oct. 10 with bright green hair, and as he was led to jail, he shouted: “See what you have done. I will kill today!” adding that he would stab police officers and fellow inmates. He has also been banned from central Nottingham for three years.
HAPPY ENDING
The University of Kansas Cancer Center just wants its colon back. The $4,000 giant inflatable colon, used to educate the public about colon health, was taken from the bed of a pickup truck on Oct. 19. The Kansas City Star reported the 150-pound, 10-foot-long colon was scheduled to appear at a run/walk event at a local park the next day. Ten days later, a tip led Kansas City Police to locate the stolen colon in a vacant house.
TRIGGER HAPPY
Helen Washington, 75, of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, faces charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon after she ran out of patience on Oct. 12 with her grandson, who continued to put his teacup on her furniture even after she repeatedly asked him not to. After dumping his tea out, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, Washington left the room, apparently to get a gun. Meanwhile, the grandson had made a
new cup of tea and put it on the furniture. The argument resumed, and Washington pulled out the .38 Special, shooting her grandson in the leg. She told officers at the scene she didn’t think she should go to jail; a judge ordered an evaluation to see if she’s competent to stand trial.
GOOD BOY!
Beagle Brigade K-9 officer Hardy probably thought he’d hit the jackpot when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents discovered an unusual item in a passenger’s luggage at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on Oct. 11. Fox5 reported that something smelled suspicious (and delicious) to Hardy, so agents opened the bag of a traveler from Ecuador to find a cooked pig’s head. “This seizure at ATL illustrates the tremendous expertise of our four-legged K-9 partners in protecting the United States,” gushed Carey Davis, CBP area port director of the Port of Atlanta. No doubt to Hardy’s distress, however, the pig’s head was removed and destroyed.
Castle and flung ashes from both hands as she cavorted on the lawn. “Anyone who knew my mom knew Disney was her happy place,” Wells told The Wall Street Journal. However, for the theme parks, the spreading of ashes presents a constant cleanup challenge, referred to by the code “HEPA cleanup” among custodians. (Other secret signals are Code V for vomit and Code U for urine.) Alex Parone of Saratoga Springs, New York, sprinkled his mother’s ashes in a flowerbed, then boarded It’s a Small World. “I was still crying. That song is playing over and over again, and there are those happy little animatronic things. I remember thinking, ‘This is weird.’” But a Disney spokesperson said: “This type of behavior is strictly prohibited and unlawful,” and the Anaheim Police Department confirmed that spreading ashes without permission is a misdemeanor. To add insult to injury, when cremation
residue is found on rides, they have to be shut down (riders are told there are “technical difficulties”) for cleaning.
THE XXX FILES
An unnamed employee of the U.S. Geological Survey invited malware into the government agency’s computer system by visiting more than 9,000 porn websites on his work computer, according to an inspector general’s report. The Washington Post reported on Oct. 30 that many of the websites were Russian, and the malware spread to the entire network at the USGS. The employee also saved images from the sites on a USB drive and personal cellphone, which also contained malware. The Office of the Inspector General made recommendations to the USGS about preventing future malware infections, and a spokesperson for the IG’s office said the employee no longer works at USGS.
QUARTERBACK SNEAK
When Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly wandered into a suburban house in Englewood, Colorado, early on the morning of Oct. 23, he didn’t appear to pose much of a threat, according to ESPN News. He sat down on the couch next to the female resident, who was holding her young child, and began “mumbling incoherently,” police records showed. But the man of the house, thinking quickly, shooed the 24-year-old Kelly out with nothing more than a vacuum hose. Kelly, who had been at a Halloween party with teammates, was later found sitting in his car about a block away. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, but the real shame is how Kelly hosed his own career: On Oct. 24, the Broncos released him.
FINAL DESTINATION
For some folks, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are more than amusement parks. Take Jodie Jackson Wells of Boca Raton, Florida. In 2009, after her mother died, Wells smuggled in some of her ashes to Disney World and spread them on a favorite spot of her mom’s along the It’s a Small World ride. Later, she leapt over a barricade at Cinderella’s syracusenew times.com | 03.06.19 - 03.12.19

THINGS THAT MATTER
BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO
Upstate politicians like the idea of making New York City the 51st state
I
BY LUKE PARSNOW n the days after last fall’s midterm elections, when Democrats won a majority in the New York state Senate and would completely control the state government come January, a movement re-emerged from social media comments and Facebook groups that echoed a longtime sentiment of some of the state’s frustrated voters. It’s time to split New York into two states, they say, and liberate upstate from the enormous power grasp that New York City and the downstate region have on state policy and identity. In the last few weeks, the idea to declare upstate’s independence has moved from online conversations to conversations in the state Legislature. On the first day of the 2019 legislative session, a bill was introduced by Rochester-area Republican Sen. Joseph Robach that would put a referendum on the ballot that asks voters if they would support dividing the state. This bill has been introduced multiple times and gone nowhere. Then a few weeks ago, Republican Sen. Daphne Jordan, from Saratoga County, also jumped in the conversation. Her bill would create a 15-member working group to study what a separate upstate could look like and what sort of ramifications could come with it. This is hardly the first time this idea has been floated from actual government officials and not just New York secessionist groups. Robach first introduced his referendum legislation in December 2009 — the last time Democrats held all three branches of government. In 2015, several groups angered by gun
laws and a ban on hydrofracking staged protests in the Southern Tier and even proposed that upstate break off and become part of Pennsylvania. There’s no question that the state’s fault lines run deep. Far from just a typical divide between urban and rural lifestyle, upstate and downstate are divided politically, economically, culturally and demographically. They’re even divided on where upstate begins. For too long, upstate residents have felt ignored by their downstate-dominated government. While New York City and the surrounding area have largely recovered from the recent recession, upstate has lagged behind considerably. Its unemployment rate is often higher than the national average. Report after report shows statewide job creation has been disproportionately downstate-concentrated, sometimes by a 4-1 ratio. And high taxes coupled with a hostile business environment have forced hundreds of thousands of people to move out of New York over the last 10 years. So is splitting the state in two the ideal fix? While it may sound reasonable to some, it is a simple solution to a complex problem. While upstate loves to blame downstate for high taxes, the truth is we get to reap the rewards of the significant tax revenue that a populous downstate shovels out. According to a 2011 study by the Rockefeller Institute, New York City contributed more than 45 percent of the state’s taxes and other revenues, but only received 40 percent of the money the state budgeted out.

counties contributed 24 percent of the state’s taxes and revenues but received 35 percent of the state money. That funds our schools and hospitals and helps our farms and communities. If upstate — everything north of Westchester County — were to separate, that money would suddenly shut off and the new state would be in a much worse position. According to a 2016 Politifact analysis, upstate as an independent state would fall to one of the worst state economies in the country. It would rank 37th in the nation for household income where it now ranks fifth. It would rank 44th in average wages; currently it ranks second. It would take decades to string together a new economic system to make up for that revenue shortfall, including the loss of tax dollars from those who would continue to move out. We know about Albany’s slow pace. Lawmakers debating a hard economic reset while trying to decide how to structure an entire new government would take forever. Meanwhile, they would have to deal with more time-sensitive issues such as funding our crumbling infrastructure, an incredibly expensive task that we would suddenly have to carry the entire financial burden for. So going it alone is simply not a feasible option. But our divisions still persist, because New York is already two different states. And that’s where we find the alternative. We must legislate it as two different states. We must draw the borders by the books. The best example of this was the complex and controversial 2016 agreement
to steadily raise New York’s minimum wage. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and downstate lawmakers initially seemed dead set on raising the wage to $15 an hour statewide in a relatively short period of time. Senate Republicans and some Democrats from upstate quickly jumped on that proposal, aware of downstate’s cost of living, but concerned such a hike in the cheaper upstate region would crush business creation, layoff low-wage workers and cut hours. After years of fighting, upstate lawmakers were able to convince their downstate counterparts that a two-tier compromise to raise the wage at different rates for the two regions was the best route. They agreed to steadily raise the wage to $15 in New York City, which it reached at the end of last year, and to $12.50 upstate by the end of 2020, with a chance to examine a continued path to $15 at that time. It was a real breakthrough moment, where such landmark legislation was tailored to better fit each region’s individual needs. It also appears to have done well. New York City has the wages it asked for and the upstate economy is still intact. The wage compromise should be a model for the state’s path forward on some of its most divisive issues. No matter who controls Albany, it is imperative that downstate officials remember that the other half of the state needs their priorities taken into account. Upstate and downstate are stuck with each other: We can’t afford to be apart, so we must find a way to live together.

BY GEENA MATUSON uring a cold night at the Mello Velo bicycle shop and café on Canal Street, a young woman carries a bunch of rainbow metallic “Happy Birthday” balloons across the patio and into the bar, where she sets them on a table alongside cookies and cupcakes. The bar is buzzing with noise and energy, and it’s hard to move through the throng of 100 or more people. Standing by the balloons is Tanner Efinger. Tall with light brown hair, he wears suspenders to complete his look. With a wide smile, he announces, “It’s the one-year anniversary of Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar!” It’s not a physical venue, however. Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar is a meet-up group that converges at a monthly pop-up event connecting the queer community for social networking and visibility. The chosen venue may be a dance club, bar or restaurant, but remains a secret — even to the venue — until noon that day. The concept of LGBT meet-ups has become a growing trend over the last decade. These groups typically start in an online forum or app and move to a physical venue. Websites like meetup. com host thousands of LGBT groups around the world to connect like-minded
people for various activities. While real-world social networking remains the goal, the intermediary has changed from a brick-and-mortar gay bar to an app on your phone. Miguel Jose Ruiz, a 21-year-old Syracusan who identifies as part of the LGBT community, can attest to this shift. “I grew up in the generation of the Internet. There’s always a community if you take the time to look for it online.” Many blame the decline in gay bars on the rise of social media. Through the end of the 1970s, however, these bars were thriving; in Central New York, they acted as way stations for groups traveling to New York City for the weekend. Over the years, Syracuse has been home to as many as 10 gay bars. Bob Forbes, president of the CNY Pride Festival, moved to Syracuse in 1987. He noted that several gay bars shut their doors during his first year in the city, with more closures that followed. Only a handful currently remains in Syracuse, including Trexx, 323 N. Clinton St.; Rain Lounge, 105 N. Geddes St.; and the Wolf’s Den, 617 Wolf St. “I’m 56,” Forbes explained, “I saw the need (for gay bars) when I first came out. That was the only way I could meet people because there weren’t even com-
puters, there weren’t apps, there wasn’t anything.” Now people largely venture to gay bars only for specific shows, departing at the end of a performance. Additionally, the increased acceptance of the queer community over the last decade has caused many gay bars to close their doors due to competition with “straight” bars. When the entire city feels safe, these places no longer act as social sanctuaries. “(My husband and I) walk around downtown Syracuse and go to restaurants and everything,” says 33-year-old Michael Battles. “Everywhere you go, you see stickers in the windows that say ‘All welcome, genders, sexual orientations; we support you.’ You’ll see rainbow stickers in businesses across Syracuse.” Battles can attest to the change in treatment and acceptance of the queer community over the last decade through the lens of the U.S. military. “I’ve been in a military where I’ve been allowed to be gay for five years now, legally. I served before ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ (was repealed),” says Battles, referencing the policy that allowed gay Americans to serve in the military as long as they remained closeted. “I never felt comfortable going to any place other than a gay bar,” Battles continues. “But the college kids that are coming up these days, they don’t know any of that life. They know that ‘I can go anywhere and I’ll be fine.’ I think the whole issue (for the business of gay bars) is that people are going to any bar now; they don’t go to a bar because it’s a gay bar.” The secrecy of Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar is precisely how the group gained traction. Just 10 years ago, the country’s
social and political climate was different, and gay bars were a space where people in the LGBT community could feel safe. At the time, these bars were more secretive; some didn’t even have windows. Now the community can be seen and heard without fear of persecution. Guerrilla Gay Bar co-producer Ariel Servadio explains, “We wanted to be in the visible, public space. The goal isn’t to have a private party for gay people. The goal is to be in front of everyone in this restaurant, interacting with the general public, and letting the community of Syracuse see how many queer people are here.” Using social media as a way to attract the LGBT community to physical events, Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar’s Facebook group has grown to 1,000 members since its inception in October 2017. The first pop-up event attracted 50 people, largely friends of founder Tanner Efinger and co-founder Kevin Bailey. In Spring 2018, Servadio started to attend the monthly events and brought female friends. Now, roughly 100 to 150 people attend these monthly events, with a 75:25 male: female ratio. “Diversity is never an endpoint, it’s always a conversation,” Efinger notes. “We’re really launching a movement, not only inspiring our community to get together but inspiring others to put intention behind the diversity.” As a result of events produced by Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar, additional groups have started in Watertown, New York, and Burlington, Vermont, as attendees from these areas were inspired to carry this movement to their hometowns. Meanwhile, Efinger is harnessing the growing power of Syracuse Guerrilla Gay Bar to launch a new venue: Wunderbar. The German word for “wonderful,” Wunderbar (pronounced “voon’-da-ba”) will move into the space of the former Redhouse Arts Center at 201 S. West St. This “queer bar,” which will be open to people of all orientations, will act as a casual bar serving light fare during the day, with stage performances at night. Wunderbar plans to open its doors soon, with Efinger ensuring there’s room at the table for everyone. “Traditionally, the word ‘queer’ is far more inclusive,” Efinger explains. “Not only within the LGBTQ rainbow, but also for people who don’t necessarily identify as queer but who are (supportive of) queer visibility. We’re exploring how we send that message of positivity and energy to everyone — because the theater itself isn’t a queer theater, right?”

MUSIC
A QUIET PLACE
Julie Briggs opens the Listening Room Cafe for acoustic shows
T
BY JESSICA NOVAK
here’s nothing quite like going to a musical performance where the listener can hear every breath, every pause, every inflection of the artist, both in song and storytelling. When an entire room is attentive enough to take the journey through the music and the tales behind it, the result can be pure magic. Julie Briggs fell in love with that idea after seeing Mike Powell, Dusty Pas’cal and Tim Herron perform in such a setting in 2012 at the Borodino Grange Hall. “The acoustics were wonderful and the stories were great,” she remembers. “People were there to listen to the songs and the stories. I thought, ‘We should have something like this open all the time.’”

Briggs had a solid background in hospitality, event planning and bar management, so the feat seemed reasonable. She had worked with, and learned from, music producer Stacey Waterman on several concerts. “Being in that environment and seeing how a successful event comes together influenced me to begin producing my own shows,” she says.
03.06.19 - 03.12.19 | syracusenew times.com
So Briggs started with “The Listening Room” music series in 2014 at the former Small Plates venue in Armory Square. A back room that the restaurant rented out for private events proved to be an ideal spot. “Two walls were exposed brick and it was a long space,” she explains, which was roomy enough for a portable bar, a few tables and a musical act. Briggs hosted about a half-dozen shows with her business partner, Joanna Jewett, and their production company, Red Shoes Black Bag Productions. While the concerts were impressive, the results were not profitable. “That series led to a decision to open my own space,” she says. “The shows were magical and I thought we should do more of them, but we needed to make them viable. I thought, ‘Maybe we should make a room where we can do this.’” Briggs and Jewett had already found success in shows like Ladies Night at Eastwood’s Palace Theatre, but starting a space from scratch proved to be a major undertaking. In 2016 they found the
perfect location: 443 Burnet Ave., former home of The Barge, Mrs. O’Leary’s and the Old Parochial League bars. However, it was a long road from picking the place to making it functional. “We originally thought we’d be open once or twice a week for events,” Briggs says. “Joanna had a full-time job and I did, too. But once I ran the numbers, I knew it wouldn’t support itself.” The team realized the place would have to be open every day to make back what they needed. Jewett had to back out because of the overwhelming commitment, but that void was quickly filled by Briggs’ now-husband, James (Jimmy) Leone. Then Briggs quit her full-time job as event manager at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Spring 2018 to work full time at the new venue. With the help of Leone’s brother, Mike, who owns the building, the team figured on a September 2018 opening. “It seemed super-reasonable,” Briggs recalls. But the hoops to jump through kept coming. Although the space was

zoned to be a bar/restaurant, it still took months of application processes to get the required licenses. Finally, the Listening Room Café started its soft opening in January on a three-day-a-week schedule, then quickly went to four days. The café is now open Mondays and Tuesdays, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Fridays, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., unless there are special events. “We’ve been hosting an open mike every Thursday, and it’s been going really remarkably well since the first day we started it,” Briggs says. “And any time we’ve done live music, we’ve had a good night. I hope the community supports this. People have habits and favorites, and it’s tricky to get people to try out a new place if it doesn’t fit into a neat category. It’s a labor of love for all of us.” Briggs also hopes the room will lure touring acoustic performers who otherwise would have bypassed the Central
New York market. “We want to make it worthwhile so they can play the Hudson Valley, Saratoga, Ithaca, Rochester, Buffalo — and Syracuse,” she says. “We’re trying to make this a place that artists go. You don’t see people with their nose in their phone here. I love that. People are more focused on what’s on stage.” Currently, the bar serves liquor, coffee and food, and Briggs plans to open up some outdoor patio space. Although it has been a challenge to manage the venue, from leaving the most real estate for customers to maintaining areas for food and storage, Briggs has succeeded in creating a homey vibe for the musicians and audience. “I have always preferred entertaining in my home rather than trying to hang out with a group in a restaurant,” Briggs says. “I feel like people relax more in that setting than they would sitting at a table in public. And the conversation is always more interesting. It’s not an accident that I’ve created a space that feels like a living room in your house.”

VALLEY FORGER
Jamie Crouse’s plan to open The Night Drop bar is still a work in progress
I
BY MARGARET MCCORMICK
f you drive Seneca Turnpike regularly, you might have noticed signs of life in the brick building near the corner of Valley Drive that for many years was home to The Remedy. Jamie Crouse is working to renovate the place and bring it back as a neighborhood bar called The Night Drop.

Crouse hopes to have the place — at 363 W. Seneca Turnpike, across from Gannon’s Ice Cream — open sometime in May. “I want to make it the coolest place on this side of town,” he says. Crouse, 54, a native of Syracuse, is a chef, artist and builder. He got his start in the restaurant business at Bellevue Country Club while a student at Corcoran High School. His restaurant and life travels have taken him to Cape Cod, Maine, Texas, Florida, New York City, New Orleans and other cities. In Syracuse, he worked as a chef at Pastabilities and Alto Cinco, and helped to open downtown’s Otro Cinco on Warren Street. His artwork includes a heart with wings, made from aluminum cans and flattened bottle caps, which is prominently displayed at Pastabilities. Crouse was living and working in New Orleans in 2016 when he learned The Remedy, an old-school “dive bar” in the Valley, was for sale. He looked at photos online and even though the place was “unkempt” and in need of an overhaul, he could see its potential. “I immediately saw a picture of what the place could be,” he says. For years, The Remedy was co-owned by Syracuse sports legend Tom Coulter and Bruce “Spike” Nulle. The building, originally constructed as the Bank of Onondaga, had been Murphy’s Valley Drive Pharmacy when they took it over in 1973. They closed The Remedy in 2015 and essentially locked the door on it, Crouse says, leaving a time capsule of bar furnishings and ephemera. Crouse paid $70,000 for the building and began the process of cleanout and demolition, peeling back layers of carpeting and linoleum, removing the bar and ripping apart two decrepit restrooms that hadn’t been updated in years. “You really
don’t know how much work something is going to involve until you get in there,” he says. Progress on The Night Drop came to a standstill in July 2016, when Crouse had a motorcycle accident at the intersection of Midland and Ostrander avenues in Syracuse. He doesn’t remember the accident and doesn’t know how it happened, but believes it may have been caused when a car door opened in his path. Crouse spent three weeks in the hospital and had several surgeries, including surgery to restore his balance. Almost three years later, he reacts to loud noises and bright lights. He has been living at the tavern and during a recent visit stepped down the street to Broadway Cafe/Arctic Island for a cup of coffee and to get away from the work site noise. Crouse started collecting disability benefits because he has been unable to work. He was awarded retroactive back pay, which he is putting into the tavern and its makeover. He has his fingers crossed for opening in May. Progress is being made in small steps. Contractors have been at work on the electrical and plumbing infrastructure. The bar itself is in and painted a deep gold — a good fit, Crouse thinks, for a building that was originally a bank. It includes a repurposed bar rail and brass foot rail from The Remedy. A chandelier in the ceiling adds a touch of elegance to the work zone. The Night Drop’s name is a reference to the practice of depositing money in the bank after normal banking hours. Crouse says the bar will seat about 16 people. High top and low tables will seat about 40 more. He plans to have a pool table and has designated room for a small stage, but isn’t sure if the city will allow him to have entertainment.

The Remedy was known as a no-frills “beer and shot bar,” but Crouse plans to have wine, craft beer and spirits. A limited amount of food will be available: soups and paninis, perhaps, and meat and cheese platters for sharing. Lots of people travel Seneca Turnpike each day, Crouse says. His goal is to create a welcoming, inclusive place where people want to stop in for a drink — and come back often. “It’s such a busy thoroughfare, I don’t think it can go wrong,” he says. “There’s not much in the neighborhood for people to come to. The neighborhood is under-served. I just want to bring as much funk to the neighborhood as I can. “Everyone goes to Armory Square,” Crouse adds. “I hope people get adventurous and come out of their comfort zone.”

BILL FITZPATRICK District Attorney William Fitzpatrick:
“I don’t think there is any job where experience counts more than the DA.” Michael Davis photo
istrict Attorney William Fitzpatrick first came to Syracuse from New York City in 1970 to study journalism at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School. “I always wanted to be a journalist,” he reflected in the Syracuse New Times’ Oct. 23, 1991, cover story “Mr. District Attorney.” “I was editor of an alternative newspaper in high school. The school’s newspaper stunk, and I hated the guy who ran it.” Yet he did have some pleasant memories while writing for the Xaverian High School newspaper in Brooklyn. “My first interview was with Stan Lee,” he recalled recently. “Marvel Comics was very popular.” In the 1970s he also worked as a ramp supervisor for Pan American Airlines at JFK Airport, where he met Liz Taylor, Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Stewart and lots of sports celebrities. But aside from occasional slamming roasts of local celebrities — “He went to Colgate and got a 3.8,” he noted of an area journalist, “but that was his blood/ alcohol content” — his professional encounters tend to be more hard-headed. In his junior year at Newhouse, Fitzpatrick applied to SU’s Law School and was accepted. Immediately after graduating in 1976, he went to work in the Onondaga County District Attorney’s office’s law unit. Moving up to the felony trial unit, he became a senior assistant district attorney in 1980. He was named chief assistant district attorney in 1983, the youngest person ever appointed to the position. He was eventually responsible for overseeing all homicide prosecutions in the county. Now 66, Fitzpatrick has held the office for more than 27 years. He was unopposed in his first campaign, as he NEXT PAGE

was in 1995 and 1999. A Republican, he beat Democrat Vanessa Bogan in 2003 and Tina Bennet in 2007.

People say if there’s one thing about you is that you’re fair. How hard is it to be fair?
That’s a great question, and it’s a nice compliment. I appreciate people saying that because sometimes what’s fair to me isn’t fair to the other side and so forth and so on. Especially in the criminal justice system because you deal with all of the societal ills that are laid on my lap, whether it’s race relations, mental illness, opioid addiction. So if I’ve got a suburban kid from Fayetteville who’s white and he goes into a store with a gun and he gets probation, and I’ve got some African American kid on Shonnard Street and he gets 10 years, then I shouldn’t be the DA. So I ingrain the golden rule every single day into my staff: Treat people fairly.
14
How would you like to be treated? Treat victims fairly, get their input. They don’t control the case, it’s a public case, but let’s hear what they have to say before we dispose of the case.
Do you reach a point where there is no legality, if that’s the proper word. What do you do then?
Well, if I understand your question, there’s legally something. For example, when I took office I started the first diversionary program in the state of New York north of Brooklyn. It was legal to send people to jail for 25 years for selling a gram of cocaine. A dollar bill weighs a gram. And there’s some historical data to support the fact that after the Civil War, after the Emancipation Proclamation, that people in the South weaponized criminal justice statutes to effectively beat down the black man, and some of these issues translated into voting rights cases, civil rights cases and the civil rights murders of the 1960s, all of which led us into where we are today. And I thought that the war on drugs — which is a phrase that you’ve never heard me use; you don’t make war on inanimate
03.06.19 - 03.12.19 | syracusenew times.com
objects — was misguided. If you treat it as a criminal justice issue solely, it’s a mistake. If you treat it as a health issue, it’s a mistake. You need to treat it as both.
One other thing about you is longevity. Have you studied term limits? Well, there are no term limits for DAs. In fact, my colleague in Suffolk County challenged that and was successful when they tried locally to impose term limits on DAs. Look, if a person is doing a good job like Syracuse Mayor Tom Young — who I thought was maybe one of the best, if not the best mayor I’ve ever dealt with, just a phenomenal guy — why should he have been forced out of office after two terms because of an arbitrary law so other people could run and try and take his job away from him? I don’t think there is any job, and I say this with some degree of personal interest, where experience counts more than the DA. There isn’t a case that’s going to be laid in front of me that I haven’t seen before or heard of before or know something about. It’s not a job for amateurs or thrill-seekers.

Is there a need for some limits on free speech, such as for Saturday Night Live performers?
Ha ha ha, no, that was a total joke about Pete Davidson (the SNL regular who badmouthed Syracuse after shooting a movie last summer in Central New York). I hate to admit that I’m a square, but I remember the good old days of Saturday Night Live with Chevy Chase and John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner. But Davidson took a shot at my community, and I thought it was incumbent upon me and other people to just stand up for our community. It was a silly effort to get a cheap laugh. I know the hotel he stayed at; it’s absolutely beautiful, my son got married there. So to say it’s like the worst hotel
he’s even been in, well, don’t come back, we’re just fine without you. And if you’re driving a luxury vehicle at 3:30 in the morning and you’re wearing your bathrobe and underwear and you’re speeding, the Manlius cops are probably going to pull you over. And by the way, they had no idea who he was. We supposedly targeted him? And then after he gets pulled over and arrested in Manlius, he trashes Syracuse. If I get pulled over in Vail, New Jersey, I don’t trash Manhattan.
If there was an expanded use of the death penalty, do you think it would impact the violence that’s growing in our community? Let me answer first that we’ll never have the death penalty in New York in our lifetimes. That’s a fact, it’s never gonna come back. We could have the worst crime surge in history, and the Legislature and this governor will never sign it into law. We had one death penalty case during the 10 years that the death penalty was on the books in Onondaga County: James Cahill. I have never seen, in my 40 years as a prosecutor, a more deserving candidate for a needle than James Cahill (who

assaulted and poisoned his wife in 1998). But with that said, the joke was on us as prosecutors. The joke was that the Court of Appeals was never going to allow that statute to stand on a constitutional basis. There is data done by independent universities, particularly the University of Michigan, where people were surprised at the results that the death penalty actually does work as a deterrent. But you have so many other aspects: the racial aspect, the cost aspect, what you drag the victims through. So it’s an issue that I’ve dealt with in my past but will never deal with again in my lifetime.
What’s with this violence in the community? It seems to be growing. It does seem to be growing. I think some people are confused about the raisethe-age legislation, in this sense, that immediately upon public comments by the governor and the Legislature, I think the word got out erroneously in the community that 13-, 14- and 15-year-olds could basically do whatever they wanted and they were going to Family Court. That’s not true. But if you look, you’ll see a direct spike in juvenile violence in relation to those comments. So the word is slowly getting out that if you’re 14 and you kill somebody, you’re going to be prosecuted in Adult Court, and I thought that it was a solution in search of a problem. In Onondaga County, under my administration, if you take 100 juveniles, 95 of them are going to exit the system with no record whatsoever. Five out of the 100
may be pleading to misdemeanors; they may get what they call youthful offender treatment, they may have been sent to prison because they’ve committed a heinous crime. But the problem, as I’ve said many, many times in my career, is the lack of family structure. And I don’t care what the family looks like. It doesn’t have to be mom and dad, it doesn’t have to be Ozzie and Harriet. It could be dad and dad, it could be mom and mom, it could be grandma and grandpa. As long as a child is raised with a structural, loving and nurturing support of a family, he or she, I think, is going to get some intrinsic values that are inherent to every human being. When you don’t have that, what do you do? You gravitate toward a gang. You get structure. You get comfort. You get support. And you also essentially become a Lord of the Flies sequel.
What’s it like to run for re-election unopposed?
You know, look, I’ve done both. I’ve had opponents: One was a very, very gracious woman who’s now a judge and another person who really had no business running for anything. But with that said, I mean there’s no suspense, it’s over. But being a competitor, in my gut, I prefer an opponent. Let me talk about my record, let me talk about why you think you’re more qualified to hold this office than I am, and let the public decide. And the worst thing that happens to me is I
lose an election and go back to private practice and make a million bucks a year. I don’t think I’ll be that unhappy.
What would you consider the most major contribution you have made to this community? Well, let me talk about the national community first. The most major contribution would be the investigation of child deaths, which are now completely different in the United States as a result of a case that I handled and brought to the public’s attention, and that was Waneta Hoyt (the serial killer convicted of murdering her five children from 1965 to 1971; for more than two decades it was believed that the children died from sudden infant death syndrome). Prior to that, if you look at the SIDS rate in the United States, the “back to sleep” campaign started at about the same time that Dr. Steinschneider’s theory about sleep apnea was being debunked by the Waneta Hoyt trial. And then you look at the SIDS rate after she was convicted, and they’ve gone down dramatically. And part of that is because some SIDS cases — a very, very small minority, but some — are, in fact, homicides. In terms of local impact, honest to God, it would be voluminous, and I say that with pride and I say that with accuracy. Let’s start with the Forensic Science Center. It wouldn’t have come together without me. Let’s talk about the combined Abused Persons Unit, let’s talk about the McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center. All these things, I’ve had my hand in. The Crime Analysis Center, which has been bought here with my leadership and my relationship with people in Albany. The Office Involved Shooting Protocols that we have. The recent School Safety Task Force Report that we did that has been almost universally acknowledged as being a really, really good piece of scholarship and law enforcement. So if you take away one thing from my 28 years in office, take away that I insist that people leave the BS by the door and come in if you’re a player and want to get things done, and you really care about safety and the wellbeing of this community.
How long can you do this job?
Well, I’m 66. I’m in very, very good health, according to my doctor. My wife has to retire in four years because she’s a judge. My children are grown. So the answer is. . . I don’t know. I want to do it for four more years, I know that. I’ll make a decision, and the voters may make a decision for me in November, but we’ll see. syracusenew times.com | 03.06.19 - 03.12.19

The Depression-era Midwest provides the setting for The Diviners’ spiritual drama BY JAMES MacKILLOP
J
im Leonard’s The Diviners is the rare drama that began as a college project in 1979, went to Circle Repertory in New York City and was then performed widely. That campus is Hanover College in southern Indiana, whose other show-biz distinction is having produced Woody Harrelson, who appeared in a revival of The Diviners there. Hanover is a Presbyterian school in a northern swath of the Bible belt. Many locals speak in an accent sounding more like nearby Kentucky than, say, Indianapolis. A knowledge of biblical references and symbolism will aid audience members, as The Diviners (running through March 16 at Baldwinsville Theatre Guild) is festooned with them, starting with the name of the hamlet where the action takes place: Zion. The title The Diviners may not be

biblical, but it points to the same direction. In rural America “to divine” used to indicate an inexplicable ability to find underground water, which is indeed the focus of the first half-hour. Do we have faith in divining? A crabby older woman, Luella (Marcia Mele), doubts the ability and is marginalized. The word, of course, hints at the supernatural: perceptions beyond the human. And it is plural, diviners, signaling the theme of searching. Along with this, there’s a lot of talk in the play about what constitutes sin, such as dancing and boozing. It’s the depths of the Depression. The much-reviled Herbert Hoover is still in office, and Prohibition, also unpopular, is the law of the land. The dialogue begins with two townies, farmer Basil Bennett (William Edward White at his most ominous) and field hand Dewey (Cole Salo),
03.06.19 - 03.12.19 | syracusenew times.com
anticipating the conclusion of the play. That doesn’t make The Diviners a memory play, but a recounting of events is sure to lead to an unhappy end. When Buddy (Isaac Betters) appears, we immediately sense that he is what would have been called “touched” in less enlightened times. Illiterate and given to wild gesticulation, he also suffers from neglected personal hygiene. We often see the bottoms of his slate-hued bare feet. He pulls at his dirty hair and is constantly scratching. Worse, he’s afflicted with ringworm that can only be treated with cold baths, impossible with his hydrophobia. His family name is Layman (i.e. the laity), but he is the one gifted with the power to find water, the first diviner. And he does, on Basil Bennett’s farm. (Credit the real dirt and real water to set designer Josh Taylor.) A few minutes after this enters an enigmatic, well-dressed stranger, bearing the portentous name of C.C. Showers (Derek Powell) and wearing a neat, three-piece gray suit. Turns out he’s an ex-preacher, penniless and looking for work. He takes an immediate liking to Buddy, and finds work as a mechanic in the garage owned by Buddy’s father, Ferris Layman (Josh Mele, never before looking so proletarian).
Buddy’s comely sister Jennie Mae (Noelle Killius) looks for a moment to be a romantic addition to the plot. But we are repeatedly told that she’s too young for the ex-preacher. Instead, other women take over the action and supply what comic relief there is. Store owner Norma Henshaw (Kathy Egloff, full of vinegar) wants to bring an old-fashioned revival to town; she thinks that Showers might be a change agent sent from God. Cohort and diner owner Goldie Short (Renee Abstender Marchak) yearns to see the local church rebuilt. Their fund-raising scheme relies on a large jar of jellybeans, inviting those with money in hand to guess the total number contained. Showers keeps insisting he’s given up his vocation, but the women will not pull back. In the playwright’s trenchant criticism of small-town Protestantism, the women’s larger goal is to repress sinful dancing rather than show some charity to Buddy, the village idiot. The emotional heavy-lifting in The Diviners is carried by Derek Powell as the ex-preacher and Isaac Betters as Buddy. Tall, thin and august, the movie personage Powell most evokes in John Carradine, who readily portrayed men with spiritual dimensions. Betters has been on a roll recently, coming close to stealing Central New York Playhouse’s uproarious It’s Only a Play last spring. Although his Buddy has to repeat some telling gestures such as scratching, Betters is always pushing the limits, implying that the boy is a bit feral and dangerous, like the young Leonardo DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? New-face director Krystal Osborne delivers some of her best work with Buddy and Showers’ bonding, first when dipping their feet in a flowing stream, an evocation of Jesus’ visit to the River Jordan, and subsequently in Buddy’s tragic immersion. Although The Diviners has appeared twice before in the Syracuse New Times’ purview, scheduling it now, 40 years after its opening, represents a risk for Baldwinsville Theatre Guild. Director Osborne brings impressive national credits in different genres. In her program note she thanks her “family” at Tanner Efinger’s Breadcrumbs Productions, first noted with the little-seen original drama The Picture of Oscar Wilde in September. Rumor has it that Breadcrumbs, Osborne and members of The Diviners’ production team will have expansion plans in coming months.
