Letters from Readers of the Syracuse New Times Please, please hang in there. You really are the only NEWSpaper in town.

In addition to all the reasons for being essential reading that publisher Bill Brod cited in the March 13 issue, the Syracuse New Times is also the only newspaper (daily or weekly) with a staff of competent writers and editors in Central New York. It is well-designed and makes the best use of its available space.

I also thought Mr. Brod’s paragraph about the lack of support from local industries (no longer owned locally) for various things like sports teams and local charities was very, very relevant — and not understood by many, many residents.

Receiving the Syracuse New Times by mail will save me searching around for it every week.

Thank you.

— Barbara S, Rivette Chittenango

Hi! Thanks for not calling it quits. I look forward to picking up a copy at the Taft Road Wegmans each week.

Don and I have “favorite” local restaurants and craft beers. It’s nice to know who the new guy in town is, and what they have to offer. I also look forward to local events and local people stories.

Keep up the good work!

—Kathy and Don Gates

I hope this will give you an opportunity to expand your coverage in all areas. I’ve been a loyal reader going back to the Orange Pennysaver days and want to see you continue.

—Frank Beyer

Pot policy: Legalizing recreational marijuana in New York state was one of several initiatives included in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget proposal.

THINGS THAT MATTER

THREE MEN AND A STATE BUDGET March Madness is a term mostly associated with basketball fans. But Albany has its own version.

BY LUKE PARSNOW

H

oops fans were usually busy filling in their brackets with their best-picked teams throughout the month. Yet there could be an entire bracket series for the March madness known as the New York state budget season to predict what political policies get to be included in the state’s annual financing.

This year a whole bunch of policies could have been added to the brackets: marijuana legalization, a plastic bag ban, congestion pricing, a property tax cap and many others.

As fun as that may sound — or not, if you prefer to stick to basketball — that’s not the way the state budget process should work.

This problem has been going on for a long time. The state budget, due by law every April 1, is supposed to balance New York’s checkbooks for the next year. But

6

it has also become a catchall for landmark legislation that politicians want to squeeze in there as part of the deal, making it more about policy than finances. This has led to the divisive non-transparent political power match that now defines the budget season. It didn’t get its nickname “the big ugly” for nothing.

The weight of the budget has gotten considerably heavier in the last eight years under Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration. It’s not uncommon for Cuomo to say something along the lines of “that will be discussed in our budget talks” when any idea for state policy arises.

Most never get through, but some do.

The authorization of Uber and Lyft ride services, raising the age of incarceration to 18, gun statutes and the milestone $15 minimum wage plan are some of the laws that have been passed during state budget negotiations in recent years.

04.03.19 - 04.09.19 | syracusenew times.com

That’s not to say that those things aren’t important, but they could very well have been decided on their own rather than rolled into the budget.

It’s not difficult to figure out why this practice has gone haywire. Budget season is a good time for legislative leaders to come forward with things they want because it’s the time when they have the most leverage, using the deadline on the state’s finances as a hostage. The famed “three men in the room” — the governor, the state Assembly speaker and Senate majority leader — fight out the budget details among themselves behind closed doors, which are usually about those same state policy proposals rather than over spending.

Earlier this year, Cuomo made it clear that one of his biggest budget proposals was legalizing recreational marijuana in New York, following the lead of several

other states. Barely a talking point for Cuomo until last year, it quickly became his top priority to be passed in the budget this year.

But divisions within the Democratic members of the Legislature over how exactly to implement it scuttled the proposal. Despite the enormous complexities that come with legalizing a drug that is still illegal under federal law — complications that other states are still struggling to overcome years after they legalized it themselves — Cuomo tried his hardest up until the end to get it passed, even with just days before the budget deadline.

It’s all about the leverage.

Besides marijuana, everything from an update to seatbelt laws to raising the tobacco-purchasing age to 21 were initially included in the governor’s budget proposal.

We should urge our representatives to avoid these numerous political distractions during a very important time for New York. Leave policy battles for another time and focus solely on the spending plan for the next year.

We have no desire for policy brackets during this March madness. Let basketball stick to basketball and let the government stick to governing.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19) A mushroom

shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the United States. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.” The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them,” wrote novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “Life obliges them over and over to give birth to themselves.”

Here’s what I’ll add to that: As you mature, you do your best to give birth to ever-new selves that are in alignment with the idealistic visions you have of the person you want to become.

Unfortunately, most of us aren’t skilled at that task in adolescence and early adulthood, and so the selves we create may be inadequate or delusory or distorted. Fortunately, as we learn from our mistakes, we eventually learn to give birth to selves that are strong and righteous.

The only problem is that the old false selves we generated along the way may persist as ghostly echoes in our psyche. And we have a sacred duty to banish those ghostly echoes. I tell you this, Taurus, because the coming months will be an excellent time to do that banishing. Ramp up your efforts NOW! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “When spring

came, there were no problems except where to be happiest,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in his memoir. He quickly amended that statement, though, mourning, “The only thing that could spoil a day was people.” Then he ventured even further, testifying, “People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” I bring these thoughts to your attention so as to prepare you for some good news. In the next three weeks, I suspect you will far exceed your quota for encounters with people who are not “limiters of happiness”—who are as good as spring itself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s time to prove

that Cancerians have more to offer than nurturing, empathizing, softening the edges, feeling deeply, getting comfortable, and being creative. Not that there’s anything wrong with those talents. On the contrary! They’re beautiful and necessary. It’s just that for now you need to avoid being pigeonholed as a gentle, sensitive soul. To gather the goodies that are potentially available to you, you’ll have to be more forthright and aggressive than usual. Is it possible for you to wield a commanding presence? Can you add a big dose of willfulness and a pinch of ferocity to your self-presentation? Yes and yes!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) General Motors man-

ufactured a car called the Pontiac Aztek from 2001 to 2005. It wasn’t commercially successful. One critic said it looked like “an angry kitchen appliance,” and many others agreed it was exceptionally unstylish. But later the Aztek had an odd revival because of the popularity of the TV show Breaking Bad. The show’s protagonist, Walter White, owned one, and that motivated some of his fans to emulate his taste in cars. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I suspect that something of yours may also enjoy a second life sometime soon.

An offering that didn’t get much appreciation the first time around may undergo a resurgence. Help it do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “Of all the female

sins, hunger is the least forgivable,” laments feminist author Laurie Penny. She’s referring to the hunger “for anything, for food, sex, power, education, even love.” She continues: “If we have desires, we are expected to conceal them, to control them, to keep ourselves in check.

BY ROB BREZSNY We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings.” I’ve quoted her because I suspect it’s crucial for you to not suppress or hide your longings in the coming weeks. That’s triply true if you’re a woman, but also important if you’re a man or some other gender. You have a potential to heal deeply if you get very clear about what you hunger for and then express it frankly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Only one of Nana

Mouskouris’ vocal cords works, but over the course of an almost 60-year career, the Libran singer has sold more than 30 million records in 12 different languages. Many critics speculate that her apparent disadvantage is key to her unique style. She’s a coloratura mezzo, a rare category of chanteuse who sings ornate passages with exceptional agility and purity.

In the coming weeks, I suspect that you will be like Mouskouris in your ability to capitalize on a seeming lack or deprivation.

ABUSED

by CLERGY in

NEW YORK?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your tribe is sym-

bolized by three animals: the scorpion, the eagle, and the mythological phoenix. Some astrologers say that the scorpion is the ruling creature of “unevolved” or immature Scorpios, whereas the eagle and phoenix are associated with those of your tribe who express the riper, more enlightened qualities of your sign. But I want to put in a plug for the scorpion as being worthy of all Scorpios. It is a hardy critter that rivals the cockroach in its ability to survive—and even thrive in—less than ideal conditions. For the next two weeks, I propose we make it your spirit creature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sagittarian

novelist Gustave Flaubert declared that it’s “our duty is to feel what is sublime and cherish what is beautiful.” But that’s a demanding task to pull off on an ongoing basis. Maybe the best we can hope for is to feel what’s sublime and cherish what’s beautiful for 30 to 35 days every year. Having said that, though, I’m happy to tell you that in 2019 you could get all the way up to 95 to 100 days of feeling what’s sublime and cherishing what’s beautiful. And as many as 15 to 17 of those days could come during the next 21.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sommeliers

are people trained to perceive the nuances of wine. By sampling a few sips, the best sommeliers can discern facts about the type of grapes that were used to make the wine and where on earth they were grown. I think that in the coming weeks you Capricorns should launch an effort to reach a comparable level of sensitivity and perceptivity about any subject you care about. It’s a favorable time to become even more masterful about your specialties; to dive deeper into the areas of knowledge that captivate your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Every language

is a work-in-progress. New words constantly insinuate themselves into common usage, while others fade away. If you traveled back in time to 1719 while remaining in your current location, you’d have trouble communicating with people of that era. And today linguistic evolution is even more rapid than in previous ages. The Oxford English Dictionary adds more than a thousand new words annually. In recognition of the extra verbal skill and inventiveness you now posses, Aquarius, I invite you to coin a slew of your own fresh terms. To get you warmed up, try this utterance I coined: vorizzimo! It’s an exclamation that means “thrillingly beautiful and true.”

NEW LAW! ACT NOW. If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse, New York law allows you to take action against the perpetrator and institution that protected him or her.

Begin your journey of healing today.

Contact us now about the NEW YORK CHILD VICTIMS ACT.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) One of history’s

most audacious con men was George C. Parker, a Pisces. He made his living selling property that did not legally belong to him, like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Statue of Liberty. I suspect you could summon his level of salesmanship and persuasive skills in the coming weeks. But I hope you will use your nearly magical powers to make deals and perform feats that have maximum integrity. It’s OK to be a teensy bit greedy, though.

RECURRING THEMES

The first clue for police that Craig Wistar, 51, of Warren, Ohio, shouldn’t have been driving was that he was behind the wheel of a car facing east in a westbound lane around 2 a.m. on Dec. 4.

The second was the woman in the back seat, who mouthed “Help me” to officers as they questioned Wistar, who had a bottle of vodka at his feet. When asked what he was doing, Wistar replied, “I’m Ubering,” reported WFMJ-TV. Officers moved the passenger to their patrol car and administered a field sobriety test, during which Wistar admitted, “I’m plastered. I’m talking hammered. I confess I’m drunk.” Wistar’s Uber passenger got a ride home from police, and he pleaded guilty on Jan. 14 to driving under the influence. Most important, he will no longer be able to drive for ride-sharing apps.

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US

Asparagus is healthy and delicious.

But for 63-year-old Jemima Packington of Bath, England, the columnar vegetable is much more: Packington is an asparamancer, a person who can foretell the future by tossing the spears into the air and seeing how they land. “When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret,” Packington said.

“I am usually about 75 to 90 percent accurate.” In fact, out of 13 predictions she made for 2018, 10 of them came true.

What’s in store for 2019? Packington told Metro News that England’s women’s soccer team will win the World Cup, A Star Is Born will win an Oscar, and fears over Brexit will be largely unfounded.

Oh, and asparagus will see an all-time high in sales.

ANGER MISMANAGEMENT

In Mesa, Arizona, diverging tastes in music led to a fatality on Dec. 14, reported The Arizona Republic. Officers responded to a call of shots fired at an apartment complex, where Sheldon Sturgill, 41, told them he shot his roommate after an argument and fistfight over the type of music they were listening to. Sturgill and his roommate had been

8

drinking shots and beer before the altercation. He was held on suspicion of second-degree murder. It is unclear what the offensive music choice was.

SUPER FAN

Dale Sourbeck, 49, of Pittston, Pennsylvania, had football on his mind after his arresting start to 2019. In the early morning hours of Jan. 3, he used a hammer to break into the Rock Street Music store and helped himself to two guitars — to start with, reported WNEP TV. Presumably realizing he was being watched by surveillance cameras, Sourbeck left and returned to the store wearing a mask and grabbed three more guitars. Police tracked Sourbeck down using the surveillance camera shot of his license plate and found the stolen guitars in his home.

Upon his arrest, the only statement he made was “Go Eagles.”

BANK SHOTS

A Michigan bank robber failed to appear at his sentencing hearing on Dec. 6 in Macomb County Circuit Court because he was cooling his heels in Toledo, Ohio, after being arrested in connection with another bank robbery. Paul Carta, 45, pleaded guilty in October to robbing a bank in May in Utica, Michigan, and was due in court on Dec. 6, Newsweek reported. But on Dec. 5, the Toledo Police Department said, Carta entered a Toledo bank and handed a clerk a note demanding money and warning that he was armed. The bank employee gave Carta an undisclosed amount of money, and he fled the bank. Toledo police took him into custody 11 minutes later at a Taco Bell drive-thru nearby. He was held in Toledo on $50,000 bond.

WEIRD SCIENCE

Scientists are likening the strange occurrence of eels getting stuck in monk seals’ nostrils to “one of those teenage trends,” according to The Washington Post. Charles Littnan, lead scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program, posited, “One juvenile seal did this very stupid thing, and now the others are trying to mimic it,” but he and other scientists are stumped about the phenomenon. Hypotheses suggest that the eels jet up the nostrils as

04.03.19 - 04.09.19 | syracusenew times.com

seals poke their faces into eels’ hiding spots, or seals regurgitate the eels and they exit through the nose. Over the last two years, three or four incidences have been reported, all with good outcomes — for the seals. No eels have survived.

SWEET REVENGE

Ted Pelkey of Westford, Vermont, has been battling the Westford Development Review Board for months over his proposal to erect a building on his property for his truck repair and monofilament recycling business. But he told WCAX News that the city keeps putting up barriers to the development, so Pelkey has instead installed a message to the board and the people of Westford: a giant sculpture of a fist with the middle finger raised. “It’s very big. Everybody got the message,” said Fairfax resident Carol Jordan. Pelkey, who spent $4,000 on the public rebuke, said he hopes the citizens of Westford will take a “really long look at the people who are running their town.” In the meantime, the select board told WCAX that because the sculpture is considered public art, they can take no action against it.

MODERN BROMANCE

Anthony Akers, 38, and the Richland (Washington) Police Department embarked on an amusing meet-cute of law and fugitive on Nov. 28 when the department posted a wanted photo of Akers on its Facebook page. Five hours after the posting, National Public Radio reported, Akers responded with: “Calm down, i’m going to turn myself in.”

When Akers was a no-show, the department messaged him the next day: “Hey Anthony! We haven’t seen you yet.” Officers even offered him a ride. But Akers couldn’t be bothered: “Thank you, tying up a couple loose ends since i will probably be in there for a month.” He promised to surrender within 48 hours.

When the weekend passed without any sign of Akers, officers wrote: “Is it us?

We waited but you didn’t show.” To which Akers replied: “Dear RPD, it’s not you, it’s me. I obviously have commitment issues. P.S. You’re beautiful.”

Finally, on Dec. 4, Akers arrived at the Richland police station, posting a selfie with the caption: “Thank you RPD for

letting me do this on my own.” Aww, ain’t love grand?

PROMISES, PROMISES

On Jan. 1, Curtis Brooner filed a lawsuit claiming a Burger King in Wood Village, Oregon, reneged on its promise following a traumatic incident on Dec. 15. KATUTV reports Brooner was having lunch at the fast-food joint that day when he became locked in the restroom. Employees provided him with a flyswatter to use to wrench the door open, but Brooner cut his hand on it, and the lawsuit says employees laughed at Brooner from the other side of the door. It wasn’t until an hour later, when a locksmith arrived, that he was set free. “To make things right,” said Brooner’s attorney, Michael Fuller, “the Burger King manager offered (Brooner) free food for the rest of his life” at that restaurant — and followed through for a few weeks. But eventually the regional manager stepped in and ended it. Brooner’s suit seeks damages of $9,026.16 — the price of one burger meal per week for the next 22 years. “There are funny elements of the case,” Fuller told KATU, “but there is nothing funny about being locked in a dank bathroom for an hour.”

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

Havana, Cuba, resident Pepe Casanas, 78, has discovered a tried-and-true way to treat his rheumatism pain: Once a month for the last 10 years, Casanas seeks out a blue scorpion, which is endemic to Cuba, and lets it sting him. “I put the scorpion where I feel pain,” Casanas told Reuters.

After the sting, “It hurts for a while, but then it calms and goes and I don’t have anymore pain.” In fact, researchers have confirmed that the scorpion’s venom has anti-inflammatory and pain relief effects.

It may even delay cancer growth in some patients. A Cuban pharmaceutical company has been selling a homeopathic pain remedy called Vidatox, made from the scorpion venom, but Casanas, a former tobacco farmer, takes the simpler route.

He sometimes keeps a scorpion under his straw hat for luck, where he says it likes the shade and humidity.

FOUL FETISH

The Daily Mail reported on Dec. 14 that a Chinese man identified only as Peng, 37, was hospitalized in Zhangzhou, Fu-

jian province, after he complained of a cough and chest pains. As doctors examined him, Peng admitted that he is “addicted to smelling his socks that he had been wearing.” The pain in his chest, it turns out, was a fungal infection he had inhaled from his socks. While Peng is expected to make a full recovery, other people ’fessed up on Chinese social media that they have the same habit: “The reason I smell my socks is to know if I can continue wearing them the next day!” one commenter said. Another pledged to “wash my socks every day now.”

SHELL GAME

Retired hospitality executive Rick Antosh, 66, of Edgewater, New Jersey, was enjoying a plate of oysters at Grand Central’s Oyster Bar in New York City when he felt something hard in his mouth. “I just all of a sudden felt something like a tooth or a filling, and it’s terrifying,” Antosh told WPIX-Channel 11 News. But when he looked at it, he realized it was a pearl. Antosh called over the floor manager to ask how often such a discovery happens and was told

he’d never heard of it before. Antosh has not had the pearl appraised, but early estimates say it could be worth $2,000 to $4,000.

UNUSUAL TASTES

Karen Kaheni, 42, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England, is a heavy smoker, puffing on 60 to 80 cigarettes a day. But as she watches TV in the evening, Kaheni also eats eight cigarette butts. And, as a side dish, she eats about 9 ounces of chalk every week. Her odd addictions are related to Pica, she told The Mirror,

a condition that involves eating things that aren’t really food. “I have no idea what triggered it,” she said. “It isn’t so much the taste of the cigarette butts or the chalk that I like. It’s more the texture and the crunch.” When she runs out of either item, “I get quite agitated and my mouth begins to water.” Kaheni hasn’t consulted a doctor about her addiction, claiming she is too embarrassed, but she has discovered a Facebook page for others who suffer from Pica: “It makes me feel like less of a weirdo,” Kaheni said, “less like I’m going mad.”

n his wistful curtain speech for the Boot and Buskin Theatre Club’s current production, director Matt Chiorini allowed that the impulse to mount Friedrich Durrenmatt’s The Visit (running through Saturday, April 6) came from deep within. He acknowledged that many recent shows at Le Moyne College’s Coyne Center for the Performing Arts, including broad market comedies and musicals that have been popular with performers and audiences, had high artistic merit and were worth doing.

But in his heart of hearts, Chiorini wanted to be in a warehouse somewhere in Eastern Europe. Without being specific, it was not hard to tell that he was thinking of the Berliner Ensemble (OK, Central Europe), home of the Epic theatre movement and a celebrator of the works of Bertolt Brecht.

Durrenmatt (1921-1990) was Switzerland’s leading playwright of the 20th century, a distinction not unlike being the tallest building in Delaware. More important to his critical standing is that he was a leading proponent, along with Brecht, of Epic theatre, an Expressionist movement that refutes any pretense to realism.

Players often wear masks and break into song when the audience least expects it.

Far from being highbrow or elitist, Epic theatre is usually accessible, filled with surprises and invites laughter more often than scorn. It also confronts, asking you to think along with being entertained.

Following his heart of hearts, Chiorini is taking The Visit back to its roots. The German title, Der Besuch der alten Dame (“The Visit of the Old Lady”), gives away a bit more of the substance: An older, very successful woman comes back to a remote town to see her first lover. Whereas the play has been adapted dozens of times, including The Hyenas (1992), one of Senegal’s best-known movies, it has been somewhat misrepresented in the English-speaking world. Maurice Valency adapted it for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, the once-famous stage couple, who also inspired Cole Porter’s Kiss Me Kate. Ingrid Bergman and Anthony Quinn appeared in a dour 1964 movie version.

John Kander and Fred Ebb used it as the basis of one of their less successful adaptations, a 2001 vehicle for Chita Rivera.

Yet The Visit was hailed as a satire, albeit a very dark one, at its premiere in 1956. This production restores that edge, without spoofing the Lunts, Kander and Ebb or anybody. Clara Wascher Zachanassian (Maggie Flower) is one of the world’s richest women. As a teen, she was seduced and left pregnant by Anton Schill (Andrew Kedick). Now she has returned to her shabby, hard-pressed hometown of Gullen with an offer sure to bring prosperity: She will give the townies 1 billion marks if they will off Anton and satisfy her vengeance.

Even in summary we can see that the premise is more allegory than likelihood, paralleling the works of Hans Christian Andersen and The Twilight Zone. Recreated in Epic theatre, the premise also presents two ambiguities. In old-fashioned leftism, Clara is simply a willful moneybags, John Paul Getty in a skirt.

In the feminism that has grown so much

more prominent in the 63 years since the premiere, Clara is a wronged woman, getting even with the exploitive pig who did her wrong. In 1956 Switzerland was the only European country in which women did not have the vote. Epic theatre provokes but does not preach.

Although translator Valency is credited in the program, and presumably his estate received a portion of the royalty to perform here, there is some question when many of his actual words are spoken on stage, especially in the first act. The general hilarity feels like improv, bordering on slapstick. We know that the townies represent a cross-section of society from partial costumes, like the Roman collar (clergy), mortarboard (academia) and top hat (business). The half-masks are also individualizing and fortunately leave the mouth and chin uncovered for unobstructed articulation.

Karel Blakeley, the company’s usual set designer, is cited only as prop master. Thus student Brittany Schafer has taken the assignment of production designer, a crucial component of the full expression. The mobile seating in the Coyne Center has been moved to the back as well as having been reduced.

This means audiences enter through the wings of the production. Everything is made to look cheap and down market, evoking that “warehouse” of Chiorini’s curtain speech.

Instead of sets in the usual sense, we have sheets of white plastic stretched between two poles. Actors can write on them. When Clara makes her big entrance, her transportation is evoked by a bug sheet of black plastic with white markings on them. To break in, she just cuts through the sheet. For dramatic effect she could not have done better if she was carried in on a sedan chair.

The role of Clara is, initially, the only one without a mask. In seconds after her entrance Maggie Flower makes us forget that in life she is an undergraduate. She and director Chiorini were prudent not to mix whitener into her flame-red hair to make he look “older.” She achieves the effect with body set. A tattoo and a limp are more than enough to suggest a prosthetic limb. More importantly, she has the imposing presence of a boss lady, a force never to be trifled with.

With his mask removed, tall Andrew Kedik’s Anton is revealed to be vulnerable, a prospective victim, guilty or not.

The six members of the ensemble are never named in fluid, changing roles.

At curtain time they should stand up for applause: Patrick Burke, Joey Cook, Anthony Dillenbeck, Alyssa Goudy, Megan Hill and Tyler Sternberg.

REVEL WITHOUT A CAUSE

Sex and booze during the Roaring ’20s drive SU Drama’s The Wild Party musical

BY JAMES MacKILLOP

T

wice in 14 years at the Syracuse University Drama Department, and it’s not West Side Story, either. Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party, running through Sunday, April 7, at the Syracuse Stage complex, is not one of those shows whose score has entered the national bloodstream. But director Katherine McGerr is reviving it because she says it will prompt students in college towns (she grew up in one before entering teaching) to re-examine the pervasive party culture.

If so, The Wild Party is a cautionary tale. It is also true that along with a role calling for a powerhouse leading lady, it spreads the wealth around equitably, with lots of big numbers for a gaggle of supporting players.

The current production is not an affront to the earlier one — Rodney Hudson helmed that Wild Party in October 2005 — but comparisons are inevitable.

The current production reflects not just the personality of a different director —

Katherine McGerr is known for Kate Tarker’s abstruse Laura and the Sea (November 2016) and Paula Vogel’s AIDS comedy The Baltimore Waltz (April 2018) — but how much the department as a whole has learned about staging musicals in a decade and a half.

The Storch Theater was designed to be hostile to musicals: no pit. So directors have been tucking musicians here and there for quite a while. McGerr puts them right on stage but behind a translucent

screen. The nine performers in the ensemble, led by Brian Cimmet, are close enough to be linked to each singer but removed from all action — and yet visible.

There’s still enough space for complex action, in part because Alex Koziara’s scenic design allows for a bedroom on a raised platform at stage left.

Although their names are in smaller type, McGerr has shared the labor of getting everything in motion. Andrea Leigh-Smith is cited as associate director as well as choreographer in what is more of a dance show than audiences may remember. Additionally, Alec Barbour has been brought in for fight choreography and what is called an “intimacy coordinator,” like those scenes toward the end where all the bodies are strewn decorously across the boards. Memory can play tricks, but somehow this Wild Party feels bigger, with the same music in the same space, than in 2005.

The literary property on which Lippa bases the show is Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 long narrative poem, partially based on the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, that was immediately banned in Boston. Arbuckle was a silent film comic involved in a sordid murder. Jack Kroll referred to the poem as “F. Scott Fitzgerald on Spanish fly,” while William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch) claimed it made him want to become a writer. It also inspired James Coco’s dark comic film The Wild Party (1975). Two musical adaptations appeared in the year 2000: Michael John LaChiusa’s bust with big names on Broadway and Andrew Lippa’s off-Broadway show, the one with legs.

The Wild Party is flush with tension and chock-full of show-stopping episodes but it’s not heavy on plot. We first see the vaudeville chorine Queenie (Giuliana Augello) before the curtain, almost as a narrator. She’s looking for the right man to satisfy her, and up pops light-footed Burrs (Ryan Byrne), an actual clown as you can tell from the red paint on his nose. Thing turns sour, though, then the curtain parts and the two climb the stairs

to the bedroom. His tendency toward violence scares her, and she seeks to revive the excitement of their meeting by throwing the big party of the title in her first big solo, “Out of the Blue.”

More than 20 people show up quickly, a lot to keep track of. Some get an introduction, such as long-limbed Jackie the Dancer (Joshua Keen), a character more given to actions than words. The contributions of costumer Carmen Martinez and wig designer Sarah Stark are also put to good use.

The two homosexual composers-brothers Oscar (Hayden Kerzie) and Phil D’Armano (Jack Rento) have relatively few lines and no big musical numbers, but they’re always easy to pick out. This is true even late in the second act when characters are shedding their costumes, dresses, shirts, pants and shoes.

Homosexuality, we hardly need be reminded, was a taboo subject in 1928, and there was no certain costume marker. Today we are sensitive to demeaning stereotypes. Against these demands costumer Martinez hits the mark subtly in dressing tall, imposing Madelaine True (Jaelle LaGuerre), who enters with one of several show-stopping numbers, “An Old-Fashioned Love Story.” Shortly before Madelaine’s entrance, Queenie’s friend Kate (Anju Cloud) has already stopped the show with “Look at Me Now.” The high intensity of so many musical numbers means that the infrequent departure into lightness and novelty makes something like ”Two of a Kind,” from the thuggish Eddie (Sage Prosper Cobos) and the ditzy Mae (Kate Jarecki) stand out paradoxically.

None of this means we ever forget that Queenie is the center of the action. She appears in five numbers in the second act. After Kate’s smashing entrance, we realize that she has brought along the dignified Mr. Black (Blake Maxwell) in a three-piece suit, who will soon become Burrs’ principal rival. Black, Burrs, Kate and Queenie appear in a key number, “Listen to Me.” But Maxwell’s affecting emotiveness in several solos, such as “I’ll Be Here,” points the way to the denouement as much as any words in the script.

Directors of student productions must work with people who have been accepted into the program. The excellence of performances in The Wild Party implies the SU Drama Department is currently glutted with talent. As Queenie, Giuliana Augello, only a sophomore, was the right person in the right place at the right time. This is her chance to soar, and she spreads her wings high.

The posters, each of which combines a three-line poem known as a haiku with an illustration, have covered subjects ranging from lunchtime at Columbus Circle to blues festivals, from the solitude of a winter day to the joy of a young boy cuddling with a family dog, and from abolitionist Frederick Douglass to the Tipperary Hill traffic light with green in the top slot.

Let’s Go

Mets!

The Triple-A Syracuse Mets kick off their inaugural season with a seven-game homestand

BY MATT MICHAEL

s he welcomed baseball fans to the Hank Sauer Room at NBT Bank Stadium during an open house in early March, Syracuse Mets general manager Jason Smorol said his staff is “interested in seeing what the Mets’ effect will be in Syracuse.”

So far, so good.

For the open house, the stadium parking lot was packed with cars. For Smorol’s annual Q&A in the Hank Sauer Room, the Mets (formerly the Chiefs) had to turn fans away because you couldn’t turn left or right without bumping into another fan.

Then on March 26, the Triple-A Mets’ parent team, the New York Mets, visited Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome for a two-hour workout between the end of spring training and Opening Day in Washington, D.C. Mets star pitcher Noah Syndergaard ripped his team for scheduling the extra travel just before the start of a long season, and he said he wasn’t looking forward to making the trip “not even in the slightest bit.”

But whether Syndergaard had a change of heart or was given an earful by the Mets’ brass and PR staff, he made amends; Syndergaard closed the workout and delighted the crowd by running around the Dome with a large Syracuse University flag and stopping at midfield to wave it around. Snydergaard’s stunt capped a festive event on a workday afternoon before 4,296 fans — more than the Chiefs’ average of 4,202 per game in their last year as the Washington Nationals’ affiliate in 2018.

“It was awesome,” said first baseman Dominic Smith, one of several Mets who signed autographs, tossed balls in the stands and jogged around the perimeter of the field to slap hands with fans. “I know me and a bunch of my teammates, we didn’t know what to expect. But when we got here, we saw the stadium, we felt

the energy from the crowd. We loved every second of it.”

Now the $18 million question: Will this enthusiasm carry over into the season and help revive baseball in the Salt City?

The New York Mets, who purchased the Chiefs from stockholders for $18 million in 2017 and have since renamed the team the Syracuse Mets, are counting on it.

This past fall, the Mets and Onondaga County agreed to a lease extension for NBT Stadium that should keep Triple-A baseball in town through at least 2043.

“This,” Smorol told the fans at the open house, “is going to become a Mets’ town.”

There are a lot of New York Yankees fans out there who might disagree.

However, Chris Anderson, a Mets fan who was born in Brooklyn and lives in Baldwinsville, remembers the pre-Derek Jeter Yankees years in the 1980s, when the Mets were winning and the Yankees were floundering and the favorite team in town wasn’t so obvious.

“You used to see a lot of Mets fans in the ’80s and not a lot of Yankees fans,” said Anderson, who attended the open house wearing a No. 34 Syndergaard jersey. “There are more Mets fans here than people give credit for.”

Amy Buchanan, of Liverpool, is one of them. Buchanan, who was a Mets fan as a kid and then drifted away from baseball, works for the Romano Auto Dealerships, where she said she’s “surrounded by Yankees fans.” While watching a Mets-Yankees game in 2006 — and to zig while her co-workers zagged — Buchanan said NEXT PAGE

she decided then to start rooting for the Mets again.

Buchanan said she attended her last Syracuse Chiefs game about 10 years ago to see them play the Mets’ Triple-A team, which was then in Buffalo. For this season, she purchased a Syracuse Mets’ Flex Plan with 10 tickets for $85.

“I’m just hoping,” Buchanan said, “Syracuse is excited as me to see the Mets.”

Syracuse opens its first season as a Mets affiliate — and its first non-community-owned season in more than 60 years — against the Pawtucket Red Sox on Thursday, April 4, 2:05 p.m., at NBT Bank Stadium. It’s the first $1 Thursday of the season (more on that later), and the first 2,000 fans will receive a Syracuse Mets trapper hat that will come in handy if it’s a little chilly.

The team plays Pawtucket three more times, Friday, April 5, through Sunday, April 7, 1:05 p.m., then takes on the Rochester Red Wings on Monday, April 8, 6:35 p.m., and Tuesday, April 9, and Wednesday, April 10, 1:05 p.m.

To get you ready for Thursday and the entire season with our local nine, here are nine things you should know about the 2019 Syracuse Mets:

1

Tebow Time!

It is the Syracuse Mets’ great fortune that their first year with the New York Mets coincides with Tim Tebow’s first year in Triple-A. Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback, has developed a cult-like following as an amateur and professional athlete, and his presence in Syracuse will no doubt boost attendance.

“Didn’t you know he has always been a baseball player; he just took about 10 years off to win a national championship (as a starter at the University of Florida in 2008) and a Heisman Trophy (in 2007) and play in the NFL (with the Broncos and Jets),” Smorol cracked at the open house.

“We are super-excited about all of the good he does (with the Tim Tebow Foundation) and the positive attitude he has.”

This is Tebow’s fourth year in the minor leagues, and after being assigned to Syracuse by the New York Mets in spring training, he told The New York Post that he remains committed to baseball despite his side jobs as a college football analyst for the SEC Network and host of the obstacle competition show Million Dollar Mile on CBS. “I think it’s just the love of the game, and it really being one of my first loves

when I was a 4-year-old boy,” he said. “I had No. 35 just like Frank Thomas. You don’t know what opportunities you will have in the future, but this one I have now. I want to be all-in on the present and embrace it as much as possible.

“Those other things are awesome and I love them and there are so many things I want to go after in my life,” Tebow added. “But for this season, my life, this is it, playing this game that I love.”

pitching prospects in the organization.

The Mets’ top prospect, shortstop Andres Gimenez, is starting the season at Double-A Binghamton and may get promoted to Syracuse this season. Another top prospect to watch is pitcher David Peterson, the Mets’ No. 1 draft pick in 2017, who will start this season at Single-A Port St. Lucie but could move fast through the system because he’s an older player (24) who came from college.

Tebow’s Teammates. While Tebow will get most of the attention, Syracuse’s Opening Day roster includes several accomplished Major League veterans like two-time All-Star outfielder Carlos Gomez, 2016 World Series hero Rajai Davis, and two-time World Series champion Gregor Blanco. Overall, 21 of the 25 players on Syracuse’s Opening Day roster have played a combined 7,006 games in the majors.

Other prominent former major-leaguers include infielders Danny Espinosa and Adeiny Hechavarria and catcher Rene Rivera. Twelve of the 13 pitchers on the Syracuse staff have played in the majors, and eight of them are on the Mets’ 40-man roster, meaning they are among the best

The Coaching Staff. The Syracuse Mets manager is Tony DeFrancesco, who piloted New York’s Triple-A team in Las Vegas last season and has spent 24 years and won more than 2,000 games as a minor-league manager. In 15 years as a Triple-A skipper, DeFrancesco has won eight division titles, four Pacific Coast League championships, two Triple-A championships, and he was named Baseball America’s Minor League Manager of the Year in 2015. He also managed the Houston Astros on an interim basis for the final 41 games of the 2012 season.

“Being a New York guy with our New York team, it just seems like a great fit,” said DeFrancesco, who was born in the Bronx. “Having us be so close to Bing-

hamton, (the Single-A team in) Brooklyn, and the big-league club is great for our fans, our players and our organization.”

Rounding out the Syracuse coaching staff is pitching coach Glenn Abbott, who played 11 years in the majors with Oakland, Seattle and Detroit; hitting coach Joel Chimelis; bench coach and former Pirates and Astros outfielder Benny Distefano; trainer Grant Hufford; and performance coach Josh Fields.

5 $1 Thursday. Syracuse general

manager Smorol calls $1 Thursday the “greatest invention in the history of baseball,” and who can argue, other than the guy who put the mound 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate and the bases 90 feet apart? Every Thursday when the Mets are home, including Opening Day, fans can purchase $1 Hofmann hot dogs (up to four per concession stand visit), $1 Coca-Cola products, a $1 souvenir and $2 drafts of Saranac, Labatt, Coors or Budweiser products or 1911 Hard Cider.

Smorol said the team has created more hot dog and beer locations to speed up the service and get fans back to the game.

4 Amazin’ Promotions. The Mets’ promotional schedule features 22 fire-

works nights, 10 national entertainment acts, 24 giveaways and discounts on food and beverage on six of the seven days of the week. One can’t-miss game is Armed Forces Day May 18, when the first 1,000 fans will receive a Tim Tebow camo jersey bobblehead and WWE legend Sgt. Slaughter will make a special guest appearance.

“I love all of the unique and exciting promotions we have to offer our fans,” Smorol said. “In addition to having some of the highest-caliber athletes and fantastic baseball, we offer an event every night. We are truly, the most Amazin’ show on dirt!”

For the complete list of promotions, visit syracusemets.com.

The Triple-A Subway Series.

The Syracuse Mets and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders — the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees — will play three Triple-A Subway Series at NBT Bank Stadium from May 3-5, May 24-27 and July 11-14. For the record, the big-league Mets and Yankees will play four games this season split between Yankee Stadium June 10-11 and Citi Field July 2-3.

“I’m looking forward to watching the Triple-A Subway Series right in my backyard,” said Anderson, the Baldwinsville resident who grew up a Mets fan in Brooklyn. “You’re going to pay a lot less for tickets to watch them here than if you go to New York.”

7 Improved Fan Experience. The

Mets have added several new features to improve the fan experience at NBT Bank Stadium: new ticketing platforms (Tickets.com and Groupmatics); a LiveSource mobile app for live jersey auctions and raffles; VIP parking; and more food options (The Hops Spot, 50-cent wings on Wednesdays, Lupos Spiedies, Budweiser products, and kids 12 and under eat free on Sundays).

“We always listen to what our fans say, and we do our best every year to adapt to make their experience here at NBT Bank Stadium the best it can be,” Smorol said.

For more information about these new features, visit syracusemets.com.

8

You Butter, You Butter, You Bet! On July 13, the Mets will partner

with the New York State Fair to bring butter sculptures to NBT Bank Stadium.

The sculptures will be similar to the ones featured at the fair each year, and the team will wear special Butter Sculptures jerseys and hats that night.

The jerseys will be auctioned to raise money for Griffin’s Guardians to benefit pediatric cancer patients and research, and the first 1,000 fans will receive a Scooch Butter Sculpture bobblehead (yes, a new-and-improved Scooch is back as Syracuse’s top mascot).

If You Go. Tickets for all Syracuse Mets games are available at the Onondaga Coach Ticket Office at NBT Bank Stadium, over the phone during regular office hours ((315) 474-7833, Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), or online anytime at syracusemets.com.

In additional to individual tickets, fans can purchase Flex Plans, Flex Plan Plus packages and season tickets.

Wednesday, April 3, is the last day fans can purchase the Flex Plans at pre-season prices. They’ll go up from $85 to $100 for the Flex Plan (10 undated vouchers for any Level 100 or Level 200 ticket), and $160 to $175 for the Flex Plan Plus (10 undated vouchers, 10 parking passes and a $50 food voucher).

The Listening Room venue is forced to change its title

BY JESSICA NOVAK

O

n March 22, The Listening Room at 443 Café and Lounge, a two-month-old music venue located at 443 Burnet Ave., got some unsettling news. The attorneys representing The Listening Room Café in Nashville, Tennessee, informed owners Julie Briggs Leone and her husband-partner James Leone that they were infringing on their trademark.

“It’s just something I don’t have time for,” Briggs Leone says. “I’ve already been working 18-hour days for the past few months and this is a big project.”

The couple was fairly certain they were in the clear when they chose the name because they found similarly named venues in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri and North Carolina. There are also several

companies using the name, including one that sells audio equipment and another that deals with hearing therapy.

The venue in Nashville was established in 2006 and trademarked the name in 2014. Briggs Leone says she was contacted by several trademark lawyers who claim the venue doesn’t have a case, but Briggs Leone is hesitant to try their luck.

“I can’t fathom trying to stick to our guns,” she says. “The legal bills would be immense.”

In a blog post on the venue’s website, listeningroom443.com, Briggs Leone notes that she’s experienced this kind of legal case in the past and she’s already afraid of the impending costs that will come along with a change of name.

“We will have to add a DBA to our LLC, liquor license, bank and vendor accounts, move our website, change our

social media outposts and update printed materials,” she posted. All of those will require time and money to make the switch.

“I’m most concerned about the liquor license,” she says. “If we have to buy a new one, we just can’t do that right now.”

Briggs Leone says that the Nashville venue gave them an April 12 deadline.

She expects the name switch will take longer than that, but changes concerning social media and signage will happen soon. The pair originally chose the name to keep consistent with the Listening Room Acoustic Music Series that Briggs Leone created in 2014 with Joanna Jewett, her Red Shoes Black Bag Productions partner.

“We were really conscious of the issue,” she says. “The names aren’t confusingly similar as we’re not competing

locally or even regionally. But we would have to hire a lawyer to fight it and it’s easier to just change it. We’re trying to settle on a name, but we want to make sure the one we choose is a clear name to take.”

Briggs Leone says every person who has come into the venue since the announcement has brought up the dilemma. “We appreciate the support,” she says. “There’s been a really lovely outpouring of people supporting and being angry on our behalf and promising to still come in no matter what we call ourselves. If it had to happen, better now than a few years in.”

She also promises that whatever the name, the venue will remain the same, “The bigger deal is that we will continue doing what we’re doing no matter what.”
