CURSES, FOILED AGAIN John Silva and Derrick Irving thought they had a foolproof plan to cover their tracks after breaking into a mutual acquaintance’s apartment on March 13 in DeLand, Fla. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office told News 6 the men stole appliances and a flat-screen TV from the home, then stopped before leaving to set a pot of spaghetti sauce on a hot burner and place a washcloth nearby so it would catch fire and destroy evidence.

The victim had been alerted to the breakin by security cameras and called police, who stopped the two and found among the stolen goods in their car an empty jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce. Both men were charged with unarmed burglary, grand theft and arson.

MOTHER OF THE YEAR Phoenix, Ariz., mom Sharron Dobbins, 40, was determined to get her two teenage sons out of bed for Easter services on April 1. When one of them sassed her back, she grabbed a Taser and “I said, ‘Get up! It’s Jesus’ Day!’” she told KNXV TV. Dobbins said she “sparked” the weapon just to make noise, but the 16-year-old called police, who found two small bumps on the boy’s leg and arrested Dobbins for child abuse. Dobbins told KNXV, “I did not tase my son.

All I was trying to do is tell my kids to put God first.”

QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENT Popeye’s preferred diet of spinach to pump up his biceps had to be healthier than what a Russian man has been injecting. Kirill Tereshin, 21, from Pyatigorsk in southwestern Russia, concocts a dangerous muscle-enhancing solution of olive oil, lidocaine and benzyl alcohol and injects it into his arm muscles, resulting in “bazooka” arms that doctors say may become paralyzed or even have to be amputated. Tereshin has so far used 6 liters of the fluid, and his biceps measure 23 inches, but he plans to continue injecting until they reach 27 inches. “I would like to get more than 1 million subscribers on Instagram and to stop working,” Tereshin told The Daily Mail. He’s considering an offer to become a porn star. “I love to be recognizable.”

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT Even before it opened last year, Apple’s spaceship building in Cupertino, Calif., presented a transparency problem: Its glass walls couldn’t be distinguished from its glass doors, and since moving in on Jan. 2, several workers have been injured after walking into them. The San Francisco Chronicle reported three people suffered head injuries severe enough to summon emergency responders. Apple’s vice president of real estate and development, Dan Whisenhunt, told the local Rotary Club in January there hadn’t been any problems with birds flying into the glass. “Now the humans on the inside, that’s a different story,” he said.

“That’s a problem we are working on right now.” Architects have added black

sors have been found to suffer symptoms similar to PTSD in humans, according to researchers at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and noise pollution has been named the culprit. The Washington Post reported the team studied birds in the Rattlesnake Canyon Habitat Management Area in New Mexico, which is uninhabited by humans but does contain natural gas wells and compression stations that constantly emit a low-frequency hum. The steady noise was linked to abnormal levels of stress hormones, and the usually hardy western bluebirds in the area were found to be smaller and displayed bedraggled feathers. “The body is just starting to break down,” explained stress physiologist Christopher Lowry.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT Prason Sukkorn, owner of Coffee on the Day in Chonburi, Thailand, had his marketing idea laid bare after he posted “obscene materials” online: photos and videos of model/barista Arisa Suwannawong, 22, wearing nothing but an apron while drawing shots and serving Jen Sorensen

customers. Suwannawong, who goes by the nickname “Jaenae with the big boobs,” glances down at her breasts in the video while gushing, “The coffee is so good, they use plenty of milk.” Police commander Thanachai Usakit from the Sattahip district station told Metro News that Sukkorn “didn’t realize it would break the law, because the model in the photos wasn’t fully naked.” Nevertheless, the owner faces three to five years in jail or a fine of 100,000 Thai baht, or about $3,200.

CATCHING THE WAVE It may not be the oldest ever found, but the message in a bottle found by 12-yearold Joseph Vallis of Sandys Parish, Bermuda, certainly traveled an impressive distance — more than 1,000 miles. The Royal Gazette reported that Vallis and his Warwick Academy class were picking up trash around Bailey’s Bay on March 10 when he came across a green bottle with a plastic bag inside. He and his father, Boyd, uncorked the bottle and found a note dated April 2014 that had been set adrift from a French sailing yacht crossing the Atlantic. The note included an email address and invitation to contact the authors; the Vallises are still awaiting a response.

EXTREME MEASURES Shannon Dean Egeland, 43, of Kuna, Ore., was found guilty Feb. 28 in an elaborate scheme to delay a prison sentence and collect insurance. The Idaho Statesman reported that shortly before Egeland was to begin a 10-year jail term in 2014 for his role in a $20 million housing scandal, he took out a disability insurance policy and talked his then-17-yearold son into shooting him in the legs with a 20-gauge shotgun, which would delay his prison term — not to mention let him collect on the new insurance policy. After the teenager shot him, Egeland called police and said he’d been assaulted, but police became suspicious when they found Egeland’s wallet and BMW were still at the scene. U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown tacked three years and 10 months of additional time onto Egeland’s original sentence. Egeland, who eventually lost his left leg, stood before the judge on his prosthetic leg and said he’d had a lot of

time to reflect on his crimes and realized he needs mental health counseling. Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Bradford called him a “menace to society.”

JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH It’s been a twisty, U-turny road for Brittany Ann Koerselman, 19, and her first (soon-to-be second) husband, Jeremie Rook, 24, of Little Rock, Iowa. The two originally married in 2014, when Koerselman, then 15, was pregnant with Rook’s child. But they divorced when she was 18. “He just wasn’t ready to be all of that,” Koerselman told Metro News.

“The parent, the husband, the responsible person. He just wasn’t ready for that.”

She said she and Rook have gotten back together and split up seven times since their divorce, but they can’t stand being apart, so they’re planning an “f-ing princess wedding” for this summer. “The last time I got married, I got swollen on the way to Missouri — it’s six hours (drive), so my shoes didn’t fit,” Koerselman recalled. “We’re reusing (the) old engagement ring. He’s different this time,” she told (herself).

THINNING THE HERD In Paris, a 21-year-old “train surfer” was killed on Oct. 24 when he fell to the train tracks after hitting an overhead obstacle. His two friends, who were riding atop a train on Metro Line 6 with him, ran away from the scene, according to The Sun. The three had been attempting the stunt at the Bir-Hakeim Bridge during rush hour. The unnamed victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

HAWAIIAN JUSTICE Daren Young, 30, of Kahului, Hawaii, will need a good dictionary and thesaurus for the task ahead of him. On Oct. 27, Second Circuit Judge Rhonda Loo sentenced Young, who violated a protection order taken out by his ex-girlfriend to the tune of 144 calls and texts, to write down 144 nice things about his ex — without repeating any words. “For every nasty thing you said about her, you’re going to say a nice thing,” Loo commanded. The Maui News reported that Loo also meted

out two years’ probation, a $2,400 fine and 200 hours of community service.

OOPS! A young driver in Buffalo, Minn., wasted no time earning an epic fail on her driver’s test on March 21 when she rammed the car into the examination station before she’d even pulled out of the parking space. As the driving test began, the 17-year-old shifted her 2014 Chevy Equinox into drive instead of reverse and hit the accelerator, causing the car to lurch forward, jump the curb and crash through the window of the station, located in a strip mall. While the driver was not hurt, the examiner, 60, was taken to a hospital with noncritical injuries.

Buffalo Police Chief Pat Budke told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that no charges would be filed.

WHO’S ON FIRST? Things went from bad to worse for soccer player Sanchez Watt during a match in Hertfordshire, England, on March 6.

Awarded a yellow card, Watt was asked his name by referee Dean Hulme, who mistook “Watt” for “What.” As Watt repeated his name over and over, the referee became perturbed and changed the yellow card to red for dissent, BBC Sport reported. Hulme rescinded the card when someone explained the mixup. “I think everybody found it amusing afterward, including the referee,” said team chairman Dave Boggins. “He was very apologetic.”

OUR WEIRD ADDICTION On March 6, Royal Canadian Mounted Police participating in an awareness campaign set up several large electronic signs in North Vancouver, British Columbia, that warned drivers: “POLICE AHEAD — STAY OFF YOUR PHONE.” Despite that, within just two hours, officers ticketed 89 drivers, 74 of them for distracted driving, which results in a $368 fine, plus a $175 penalty payment on a first offense. “It is evident there is still more education and enforcement needed to make our roads safer,” remarked Cpl. Richard De Jong to CTV News. syracusenew times.com | 6.27.18 - 7.3.18

GETTIN’ BIZZY

BREAK SHOTS APLENTY AT BRICK HOUSE BILLIARDS

An early morning blaze on Feb. 7, 2017, ravaged the North Syracuse pool hall Salt City Billiards, in business on Route 11 for 25 years. The hall racked up another location in Mattydale by a different owner eight months later.

Meanwhile, the owner of the original spot had no desire to rebuild — but Brian Holmes, who shot pool there for 25 years, wanted to resurrect the operation under a new name: Brick House Billiards. The hall officially opened Dec. 19, 2017.

Holmes was new to running a bar or restaurant, although he did operate a few dry cleaners. Yet he was a man on a mission. “When Salt City Billiards left, it was like a part of me left,” Holmes said.

“So once I started this project I was all in.

I was there every day, all day.”

When the project started, however, there was not much that could be saved.

Renovations of the plumbing, heating, electric and roofing were in order.

“The floors came out, the walls came out and were expanded, and the bathrooms were redone,” Holmes recalled.

“Mostly everything is brand new besides the outside.”

Brick House now has 10 employees, including some who worked at the previous pool hall. For hungry hustlers, the establishment also offers a menu that features half-pound burgers, chicken riggies, wings and more, with four cooks in the kitchen bouncing cuisine suggestions off each other. There is also a new bar area with libations.

Brad Rees, who previously worked with the American Pool Association, is also part of the Brick House operation.

He has helped bring in weekend tournaments as well as a Monday-night straight pool league. “In the fall we are focusing on getting a youth league started, teach-

ing them how to play and get them addicted to the game,” Rees said.

Brick House currently has 16 premier pool tables manufactured by Diamond.

“We have the last Rosewood 7-foot table made in the country,” Rees said. “Altogether we have eight 7-footer tables and eight 9-footer tables.”

Watching people of all ages have fun while learning to play pool is the best reward, according to Holmes and Rees.

Brick House, 3707 Brewerton Road, is open daily, 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., while the kitchen serves until 12:30 a.m. For information, call (315) 455-1979 or visit brickhousebilliardscny.com. SNT

THINGS THAT MATTER B y L u k e Pa r s n o w

Father knows best?: Former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos is on trial again for arranging a $78,000-a-year job for his son, who sometimes would not show for work.

Michael Davis photo

LAWMAKERS GO HOME AFTER DOING THE CAPITOL SIDESTEP ON ETHICS It really is incredible. Even as a bid-rigging trial of one of the state’s largest economic development projects was taking place and a corruption retrial of one of their former leaders was just getting under way, members of the New York state Legislature let another session fall by the wayside without passing any sort of ethics reform.

It should have been a year of reckoning, especially with numerous corruption

12

trials involving former legislative heads and a former top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Yet lawmakers left Albany last week for the rest of the year with no progress and even less interest than ever in combating the corruption that has rocked the capitol in recent years.

Since this legislative session began on Jan. 3, these events have taken place.

Longtime Cuomo confidant Joseph Percoco was convicted of taking bribes in

6.27.18 - 7.3.18 | syracusenew times.com

return for using his influence in the administration to do favors for businesses.

Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was convicted for the second time of bribery and extortion. Assemblywoman Pamela Harris pleaded guilty to stealing money from FEMA. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman resigned due to allegations of abusing women. One of the governor’s signature economic initiatives is wrapped in scandal. And Dean Skelos, the fifth state Senate majority leader in a row to be indicted, is on trial again for arranging a $78,000-a-year job for his son, who sometimes would not show for work.

Nothing to see here, the lawmakers say.

We’ve got to get home because it’s an election year.

Just like watching a burning house while holding a water hose, state legislators continue to fail at fixing the problem that they alone can fix.

They still haven’t closed the LLC loophole, which allows big donors and special interests to circumvent the state’s campaign finance laws and funnel millions of dollars to the candidates of their choice.

The Democratic-led Assembly has passed several bills that would close the loophole but the Senate continuously ignores it.

They still haven’t agreed to ban lawmakers from earning outside income, which they all do when not in session.

Jobs back in their home districts have the potential to create conflicts of interest with their governmental duties and create opportunities for corrupt bargains.

Indeed, several of the most recent corruption cases were rooted in legislators’ jobs outside of Albany.

They still haven’t moved to make the Legislature a full-time job. This would prevent any need for outside income and avoid the drama of secret negotiations and rushed votes on unread bills that we see at the end of June every year.

They still haven’t enacted any kind of term limits, which would prevent lawmakers from becoming too entrenched in power for too long and embolden their authority to abuse the office. The Republican-led state Senate has several times passed legislation that would put eight-year term limits on leadership roles in both chambers. But the Assembly ignores it.

They still haven’t established an independent ethics commission to investigate

and remove the dirty weeds from government — a commission whose members are not appointed by legislative leaders or the governor.

Instead, both chambers passed a bill that would create a commission to investigate district attorneys. It’s not a bad idea in principle to have a watchdog looking over the watchdogs, but guess who investigates corrupt politicians? District attorneys. And guess who will appoint the members of this new commission?

Politicians, particularly the governor and leaders of the Legislature.

The commission, which comes with broad powers, could very well have a chilling effect on prosecutors’ independence and willingness to go after cases that they may be scrutinized for. Now, when a state official is accused by a prosecutor of doing something illegal, that official has the option to order that prosecutor be investigated for misconduct.

The move is not entirely surprising, since a large part of convicted state politicians’ defense has been to blame “overzealous” and “over-reaching” prosecutors seeking out bribery and extortion that they claim is not a crime, but a normal part of the governing process.

It is very sad that the same Legislature that has shown absolutely no eagerness to police themselves of their own ethics is extremely concerned with the ethics of others.

So not only are they holding a water hose while watching a burning house, but they believe the more immediate emergency is that there’s something wrong with the water.

These same lawmakers are now making their way back home to campaign on what bills they’ve passed and how much money they’ve secured for their districts.

They might even have the gall to mutter some useless rhetoric on corruption.

But in government, the actions clearly show that these lawmakers have no interest in cleaning up public service.

It doesn’t matter who gets arrested, convicted and thrown in prison. It doesn’t matter that more than 90 percent of New Yorkers think corruption is a serious problem. It doesn’t matter that it’s an election year and it doesn’t matter which party controls which chamber or the executive mansion. Year after year, we’re shown that ethics reform is not a priority.

Maybe next year? That’s funny. SNT

JANET BURMAN ANNOUNCES STATE SENATE BID

It was chilly on James Street June 14 when Janet Burman made an announcement on her front porch, while children cavorted across the street in the Lincoln School yard, careening off each other in body-length balloons. She was going to contend for the 53rd state Senate seat, she said, handing out red, white and blue cookies and personalized campaign pens.

Everyone stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.

The three dozen gathered on the lawn included an all-star lineup of Central New York Republican Party heavies, such as town of Salina GOP chair John Niestemski, Salina Town Supervisor Mark Nicotra and former Syracuse mayoral candidate Steve Kimatian.

The 53rd contains all of Madison County, most of the city of Syracuse, western Oneida County and the towns of Tully, LaFayette, Fabius, Pompey, Salina and Cicero. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the district by 40 percent to 28 percent, with 24 percent non-enrolled.

The seat is currently occupied by Democrat David Valesky, who has kept it without opposition for the past three two-year terms. “I’ve had 14 years and I am anxious to continue,” he said. Valesky reflected on his tenure in the state Senate, assessing Burman’s candidacy as less than an immediate threat. Both cite three issues as major concerns for the district: economic development, funding for education and urban poverty.

A former chair of the Republican Committee of the city of Syracuse, Burman has made four previous runs for office: contending for a GOP congressional nod, which she lost to John Katko; her first attempt for a county legislative seat; a run for state Senate before Nancy Larraine Hoffmann switched to Republican; and the one she considers the only serious effort, for president of the Syracuse Common Council.

Having logged among her past cam-

paign experiences some time playing the role of “sacrificial lamb,” Burman had to assess, she said, the degree to which this race could be competitive. “I know I’m the underdog,” she admits. Despite the formidable lead in voter registration, with the district serving as home to the

Democratic dominance of the city of Syracuse’s 17th Ward, Burman insists, “I know the pitfalls, but this one is doable.”

Key to her analysis is what she sees as the condition of the Democratic Party in New York state. The big numbers in various elements of economic develop-

ment, especially low unemployment figures, throughout the country will begin to work against the Democrats locally when people begin to understand that New York state is not enjoying those benefits because the state government is messing up big time on that account.

Burman also senses a change in political positioning for Valesky, whose Independent Democratic Conference, a group of Democrats who caucused with Senate Republicans to maintain a balance of power, dissolved recently under pressure from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But whatever comes down, Burman says she will be listening first, followed by learning to prepare herself for a position of leading.

Also in the race for the 53rd is Rachel May, who has the nomination of the Working Families Party, and is working to get on the ballot for the September Democratic primary. “I’m running,” she says, “because I want state government to pass strong legislation that has failed to pass for years: election laws, reproductive rights, health care for all, educational funding, climate justice — bringing New York state into the 21st century.” SNT

STAGE

Boogie downtime: Cast members of Cortland Repertory’s Saturday Night Fever. Kerby Thompson photos

HAPPY FEET IGNITES CORTLAND REPERTORY’S FUNKY FLASHBACK Disco died, but Saturday Night Fever still lives. It’s a paradox: Although a fashion moment, with bell-bottom pants and bright colors, fades away, one of its prime expressions, a 41-year-old movie, has not become campy and is still in many people’s minds.

Director John Badham’s 1977 film never has to be revived, because it never went away. What is surprising is that the stage version, a compelling crowd-pleaser, is seen so little. Cortland Repertory Theatre brings us up to speed on that, with a splashy show running through July 7.

Producer Robert Stigwood brought Fever to the London stage in 1998, where its success prompted a 501-performance run in New York City during 1999 and 2000. Although two committees of writers worked on both the London and New York versions, the Cortland production is generally faithful to the movie, whose script is notably anti-romantic. Hearing those pounding feet on stage, we get 42nd Street with grit. For all the betrayal and disappointment, it’s the music that transports us.

Producing artistic director Kerby Thompson takes charge of the entire production with skillful maximizing of the intimate space of the Little York Pavilion. That means light, stylized, quickly mobile sets by Darin Himmerich.

Thompson also underscores all the nondance drama, such as Tony’s bickering patriarchal family, his spoiled priest brother Frank Jr. (Kyle Kniseley), failed relationships, gang violence, and racial discrimination against Puerto Ricans. Yet Thompson gains tremendously in bringing in two newcomers to Cortland.

New York-based music director Shoshana Seid-Green appears to be too young to have known the disco-era heyday of the Bee Gees but she knows it from the inside. Leading an orchestra of eight, she digs into the vibrancy of the score without betraying its fundamental lyricism. Disco was always about dance.

As with so much of the show, she treats the music as if it were brand new rather than a kind of nostalgia.

Then again, Seid-Green does not have the voices to duplicate the Bee Gees’ distinctive falsetto. Yet she slips in some

6.27.18 - 7.3.18 | syracusenew times.com

bluesy motifs in laments for lost love, like Annette’s “If I Can’t Have You,” performed by Stephanie Garofalo.

An even bigger find is choreographer Bryan Knowlton, with extensive Broadway and national credits, along with multiple awards and nominations. The full ensemble is in motion in nine production numbers, and the male quartet — called the “Faces,” with Bobby (Christian Henry), Joey (John Cavaseno), Gus (Braden Phillips) and Double J (Jahmar R. Ortiz) — scampers through two more.

As with the music, Knowlton’s choreography evokes and recreates rather than mimics. Still, when Tony Manero (Michael Russell) steps out in the iconic white suit, there’s an audible gasp from the audience.

John Travolta was 23 and at the peak of his tough-tender charm when the movie came out, a difficult paradigm for any actor to fill. Michael Russell has the fine features of a Florentine prince rather than a rowdy from Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge, but he speaks the language of the streets. His Tony is flippant in dealing with his gruff employer, Mr. Fusco (Doug Walls), at the

paint store, but he still has to be a kid at dinner with his squabbling family.

Musically, Russell is a vastly superior singer to Travolta, starting out with “Stayin’ Alive,” and more than matches him on the dance floor. His biggest number is arguably “After the Fall,” just before the finale.

Emily Janes as the well-born and ambitious Stephanie Mangano defines her role more easily. Many audiences have forgotten the name of Karen Gorney (then nine years older than Travolta) in the film, but she seemed superior and inaccessible. Janes has the voice, the hoofs and the manner. Her solo, “What Kind of Fool,” resonates with the deepest feeling.

Of the many things that make Saturday Night Fever a better show than remembered is its rootedness. Tony’s need for dance, and therefore his hunger for artistic expression, comes from his claustrophobia in being locked in dead-end labor and the bitter gruel of his home life.

Director Thompson pulls no punches in portraying a hideous dinner at the Manero household. His impotent bully of a father, Frank Sr. (Jimmy Johansmeyer,

who is also the show’s witty costumer), is between jobs, and rages when his wife, Flo (Jan Labellarte), suggests she might bring in an extra wage. Frank Sr. also stops Tony from cleaning up the table with “Let the girls do it.” These are not Italian-American Kramdens but rather soul-killers.

As is widely known, the stimulus for the original script of Saturday Night Fever was a 1976 article by British émigré

journalist Nik Cohn titled “Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night” in New York magazine. Less well-known is that two decades later Cohn confessed that he was befuddled by the assignment to cover the Bay Ridge dance scene, so he based the character of Tony on an English working-class “mod” that he knew in the 1960s. Well, as Elie Wiesel once said, “Some stories are true that never happened.” SNT

The Roustabouts

A Roustabouts Homecoming Two Syracuse University grads return to play at this weekend’s Blues Festival

BY JESSICA NOVAK

16

Pete Daniels and Andrew Wiley were Syracuse University students between 1994 and 1998 when they started jamming together throughout the Salt City music scene. They formed fast friendships with local blues players such as Tom Townsley, Phil Petroff, Roosevelt Dean and members of Los Blancos.

On Saturday, June 30, 2 p.m., the duo and their band, The Roustabouts, will take the main stage at the New York State Blues Festival in downtown’s Clinton Square.

“We’ve gotta jampack as much music as we can into the whole thing,” Wiley says. “It’s great that we’ll get to do what we do on the main stage and tell our story, talk about our influences. These are guys who should all be household names to blues aficionados in Syracuse. And Tom Townsley will sit in 6.27.18 - 7.3.18 | syracusenew times.com

with us. We’re really looking forward to that.”

Daniels says, “And I love the fact that the next band up after our performance is Los Blancos. They were integral to us and our development.”

The pair has kept in touch with the local scene, returning every year to attend Blues Fest and make a weekend out of jamming with friends. But this is the first year they’ll actually be a component of their beloved festival.

“It’s been a longtime dream to put our band up on the Blues Fest’s main stage,” Wiley says.

Daniels and Wiley got tugged into the scene when they made friends with local show-goers Mary Lou and Harold Green.

“They were kind of stalwarts of the scene,” Daniels says, as

the quartet started hanging out at bars such as Rooter’s and Cougar’s, where they struck up friendships with the area’s blues musicians.

“Over the course of a month, I’d go to 10 different shows and every single band would blow me away,” Daniels remembers. “For me, coming from Washington, D.C., I thought, ‘What the heck is going on in this small town?’”

But blues guitarist Dean was a standout when it came to Daniels and Wiley making the jump from fans to players.

“Rosie was definitely the catalyst,” Daniels recalls.

Daniels even became Dean’s roadie for a while. And since he was majoring in TV, radio and film production at SU, Daniels used his roadie time to shoot footage of the bluesman while on tour through the South. Daniels has since made a documentary about Dean.

“I learned a lot about the blues and the music business,” he says. “Coming out of that, it was like, ‘This is in my blood now.’”

Although Daniels was classically trained on violin, he had played guitar most often with his singing buddy Wiley, who studied musical theater at SU. But Daniels realized that since violin was his most comfortable instrument, why not put it front and center? The two studied blues music and eventually Daniels start-

ed bringing his fiddle to the gigs.

“My eureka moment was when I was playing an open mike at Dinosaur BarB-Que,” he says. “Someone threw me a solo and it was the first time I tried going way up high on the neck hitting this high note and I heard someone out in the crowd go, ‘Yeah!’ And I got goosebumps. I thought it was so cool that I could make someone have that reaction to something I’m doing. It’s been a fun ride ever since.”

Wiley and Daniels moved to the D.C. area separately after college. Daniels was returning home, while Wiley and his girlfriend (now his wife) Melissa were looking for a warmer locale to call home.

When they were searching for a music venue, they stumbled upon a Thursday-night open jam at the Zoo Bar, right across from the National Zoo. “It turned out to be an amazing little scene,” recalls Daniels. The duo went every week, as they soon found other players they clicked with and started The Roustabouts in the early 2000s. They even landed a monthly gig every third Saturday at the Zoo Bar that lasted for seven years.

Within the last year the band has released Plenty of Blues, an album of mostly original material that mixes rock, funk and rhythm’n’blues. Aside from band members Wiley, Daniels, bassist Jeff

Muller, guitarist Dan Shine and drummer Phil Bucci, the disc also features Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks on harmonica and Tommy Lepson on keyboards.

Although the band is solid, Wiley and Daniels claim that the fiddle is the main attraction. “Everyone is just blown away by it,” Wiley says. “It’s truly unique to the blues and nobody can really do it like Pete can do it. People just respond to it.

Fifteen years later, we’re still kickin’ it with this music we learned in Syracuse.”

This year, Wiley and Daniels have firm plans to cram as much as possible into their Blues Fest weekend and eat several times at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Wiley is also excited about playing a song devoted to the local ribs joint.

“It’s a tribute to the Dino and what it meant to Syracuse in the development of the blues scene,” Wiley says. “I’m really excited to be able to sing it for Syracuse music fans. Usually when I’m in D.C. I say it’s a great spot up north in Syracuse, but the story changes when I’m onstage in Syracuse.”

“And it’s one of several originals written almost completely on a ride home from a previous Blues Fest,” Daniels says. “Our heads were just buzzing with all the great vibes and music. Inspiration came pretty easily.” SNT

is under pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment -- that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I’m hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what’s under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results.

and soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care.

Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

are expiring. The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity. It’s time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You’ve got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, no-nonsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the oil and the cosmic machinery.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) In the coming

weeks, you will have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient.

As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism. Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist 10 times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!”

porarily lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings. So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future.

Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Here’s my list of

demands: 1. Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. 2. Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting. 3. Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating. 4. Influence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence.

Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. 5. Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “If I didn’t define

myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Activist author Audre Lorde said that, and now, in accordance with your current as-

trological and psychological needs, I’m offering it to you. I realize it’s a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) André René Rous-

simoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 520 pounds.

As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleasure.” The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind and soul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) On her 90th

birthday, my great-aunt Zosia told me, “The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it’s both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things.”

Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, “Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life’s goodies are more likely to flow your way if you “hope for nothing and are open to everything.” According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In accordance

with the astrological beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks. You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket.

Here’s the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: “Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more, ask.”

Here’s the second, from writer G.K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Ecologists in

Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I suspect that

sometime soon you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans -- or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: 1. Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. 2. When you use it, be sure it harms no one. 3. Express gratitude for it before and during and after using it. 4. Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. 5. See if you can use it to generate the arrival or more pixie dust or magical beans or enchanted potion in the future. 6. When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want.

Please read it carefully. Mortgage foreclosure is a complex process. Some people may approach you about “saving” your home. You should be extremely careful about any such promises. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877226-5697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us.
