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

Gov. Andrew Cuomo courts a potential voter at the 2017 New York State Fair.

CUOMO CAN’T CLEAN UP SLEAZY RIDERS

4

This spring and summer have been open season for prosecutors hunting down the public corruption that remains rampant in New York state government.

One of the repetitive pinpoints of this year’s corruption trials has been the serious flaws in the state’s economic development initiatives.

We saw it once again two weeks ago when Alain E. Kaloyeros was convicted in a bid-rigging scheme that steered hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts to favored companies in Buffalo and Syracuse.

Kaloyeros, the former president of the State University of New York’s Polytechnic Institute, was the chief architect of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signature economic development program aimed to revitalize upstate and western New York, known as the Buffalo Billion. Indeed, Cuomo once called Kaloyeros a “genius” and “New York’s secret weapon.”

Two other Syracuse-area developers, Joseph Gerardi and Steven Aiello, of COR Development, were convicted with Kaloyeros of unfairly winning a $100 million job in Syracuse.

The verdict comes four months after Aiello was convicted of bribery in a separate case concerning Joseph Percoco.

The former top aide to Cuomo was found guilty of accepting more than $300,000

7.25.18 - 7.31.18 | syracusenew times.com

in bribes between 2012 and 2015 from COR Development and a Marylandbased company in exchange for state actions that would benefit those companies.

Both cases have done well at exposing the horrific pay-to-play culture that is all too popular in Albany these days. They have exposed the government’s embarrassing inability and unwillingness to do anything productive to counter that culture. More importantly, legislators won’t do anything even when the solutions are right in front of their faces.

“I don’t know what I could have done differently to prevent the situation,” Cuomo told reporters the day after the Kaloyeros verdict.

What? This is the guy who framed his entire campaign for governor around the argument that he would be the champion to clean up corruption in Albany. This is the guy who initiates these economic development projects and the guy who put his highest confidence in corrupt individuals like Kaloyeros and Percoco to run these projects. But now he says he couldn’t have done anything differently.

Here’s an idea: Take the taxpayer-funded development initiatives that you hold so dear and make them more accountable and more transparent.

This spring, the Republican-led state Senate almost unanimously passed two pieces of legislation that would do just that.

The Procurement Integrity Act passed in the Senate 60-2. The measure would restore the state comptroller’s power to oversee and review economic development state-funded contracts and look

for any red flags of illegal activity before they are officially awarded. Cuomo and the state Legislature took that power away from the comptroller in an agreement back in 2011.

Unsurprisingly, Cuomo has opposed measures aimed to restore that power to the comptroller. But the Procurement Integrity Act, and legislation similar to it, have been supported by Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and legislative members of both parties. Democratic Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie praised the bill last year, saying “another set of eyes will make people feel better that, yes, things are done correctly.”

Yet even with 37 co-sponsors, the bill remains stuck in committee. Some speculate Cuomo is pressuring Heastie to prevent it from reaching the floor for a vote.

The other piece of vital legislation is the “database of deals” bill, which would create a searchable database where all economic development benefits awarded by the state government would be made public. That includes grants, loans or tax abatements awarded to any business or organization. It would also make public the number of jobs created by those benefits and how much those jobs cost taxpayers.

Not only would this bill help weed out corrupt activities from inside economic development programs, it would also be a way to measure the overall effectiveness of those programs. Cuomo’s job-creation measures, from the Buffalo

Billion to START-UP NY, have been repeatedly swamped in secrecy and littered with loopholes.

The reports that aren’t stonewalled by the executive branch have shown many of the state’s economic development efforts have not only failed to create anywhere near the number of jobs forecasted, but that the state didn’t even have any reporting standards in place to hold accountable companies benefiting from tax breaks to their job number promises. In a state where $8 billion is spent every year on economic development initiatives, we need to make sure that kind of money is being put to good use.

The “database of deals” bill passed in the Senate 60-0, but also remains stuck in committee in the Assembly, despite its 34 co-sponsors. Many believe Cuomo is using his muscle to stop it from passing.

Cuomo seems convinced he couldn’t have prevented his Buffalo Billion from becoming scandal-ridden. Yet not only could he have prevented it, he enabled it. And by continuing to dismiss common-sense measures to prevent the same thing from occurring again, he and the Legislature are enabling future Kaloyeroses and Percocos to abuse these economic development projects for their own personal financial gain.

It’s time for the government to own the errors it helped create and own the effort to clean them up. “Couldn’t do anything to prevent it” is a shameful excuse. SNT Jen Sorensen

THE FINGER LAKES CHEESE FESTIVAL TO BE HELD JULY 28TH, 2018 AT SUNSET VIEW CREAMERY IN ODESSA, NY Farm Fun for Families and Foodies!

Finger Lakes, NY -- The Finger Lakes Cheese Festival is slated for Saturday July 28th, 2018 from 10:00am-5:00pm at Sunset View Creamery in Odessa, NY, just east of Watkins Glen and south of Ithaca. Sunset View is a founding member of the Finger Lakes Cheese Alliance, which puts on this annual family- focus event.

The Planning Committee is excited to announce many new additions to this year’s festival.

Featuring 70 vendors, new activities and many generous local businesses and organizations as sponsors, the event includes a full farmers market and features the creameries of the Finger Lakes Cheese Alliance sampling their cheeses as well as many local food and farm vendors. Finger Lakes beer, wine and cider producers will be offering samples at the event, and the cheese and beverage pairing seminars have been expanded to 120 seats each to accommodate our growing event.

For the whole family, there will be music all day, and new this year the music will be playing on two stages. There will be also be self-guided farm tours and hayrides for all to enjoy, and a guided milking parlor tour which will run four times through the event. Special thanks to The Watkins Glen/Montour Falls Lions Club, Watkins Glen Rotary, Boy Scouts of America Pack 50, The Spirit of Schuyler, and the Odessa Fire Department for their generous assistance.

In addition to all the great activities, there will be plenty to eat, sample and buy. Food vendors to suit every palate will be at the festival, and 12 beer, wine and cider producers will be sampling and selling products. Wineries include JR Dill, Lakewood Vineyards, Hector Wine Company, Stever Hill Vineyards, and Americana Wine Company. Seneca Lodge Brewing, Wagner Brewing, Scale House Brewery, Hopshire beer and Eve’s Cidery, and Good Life Cider complete our guest alcohol vendors. Food vendors include Over the Moon Grilled Cheeserie, Central Hots, F.L.X. Fry Bird, Shuck Yeah!, and Silo Food Truck.

Attendees can enjoy the Pairing Seminars beginning at 10:30. These seminars will be led

We have expanded these seminars to accommodate 120 attendees for a fee of $2 each per seminar per person. The Cooking with Cheese Seminars will feature local chef Brud Holland.

Along with the food and drink, the Alliance has invited their neighbor artisans and farms to participate in the event, so there will also be farm produce and products, along with locally made products and wares.

“There will be something for everyone.” explains Carmella Hoffman, owner of Sunset View

Creamery and member of the festival’s planning committee. “Think of it as a huge summer family bar-b-que and farmers market all wrapped up into one!”

About the Finger Lakes Cheese Festival The Finger Lakes Cheese Festival is put on annually by the Finger Lakes Cheese Alliance.

The concept was born out of making it easy for people to try all the cheeses of the Alliance in one spot for attendees to sample and enjoy. And the Festival simply exploded from there. This year, the Festival has several generous sponsors to helping to celebrate this family friendly event.

Dolores Leis, 64, of Nanton in Galicia, Spain, is a modest wife and potato farmer. But thanks to the internet, she has found fame as “Trump’s Galician sister.”

The Associated Press reports that a journalist researching farming posted a photo of Leis at her farm on Instagram, and the striking resemblance between her and the U.S. president caught the attention of the web. “I say that it must be because of the color of the hair,” Leis told La Voz de Galicia on April 24. She added that she’s not overwhelmed by the sudden attention because, unlike her doppelganger, she doesn’t use a mobile phone and isn’t much interested in online chatter.

“I look at everything that my daughters show me, but it never stung my curiosity to have (a phone),” she said.

CRIME REPORT In October 1981, Stephen Michael Paris escaped from the Jess Dunn Correctional Center in Muskogee, Okla., where he had been serving a nine-year sentence for drug possession and distribution. Using the name Stephen Chavez, Paris managed to evade authorities until April 12, when investigators tracked him down, thanks to his mother’s obituary, at an office in Houston where he was working.

Now 58 years old, Paris was mentioned in his mother’s tribute, using his alias, the Associated Press reported, and after confirming his identity with fingerprints, the U.S. Marshals Service returned him to custody.

NEW WORLD ORDER Jaywalkers, beware: The city of Daye, in Hubei province China, has installed water sprayers and an electronic screen at a crosswalk to stop people from crossing on a red light. Five pylons were placed along the road April 16, China Daily reported, three of which identify offenders using sensors and then spray them with water vapor. Other pylons “photograph people crossing against red lights,” explained Wan Xinqiang of the Daye public security bureau, and “a large electronic screen at the intersection will instantly

display their photos. If the equipment works well, we will utilize it throughout the city.”

OOPS The Washington State Department of Transportation had to issue a mea culpa on the afternoon of April 17 after an electronic highway sign displayed the message “U SUCK” above Interstate 5 near Jovita. WSDOT called the sign “an inappropriate message” that appeared due to a training error and was “clearly a mistake,” according to KCPQ TV.

TRY THE DECAF In Hudson, Fla., Brandon Donald McCray, 47, came unglued on May 1 after discovering two of his socks missing.

When suspicion fell on his roommate, Frank Smith, 53, McCray attacked him with a sword, according to WTVT. The attack continued as McCray also struck and injured two women living at the home. Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies said Smith nearly lost several fingers trying to defend himself. Deputies arrested McCray at a neighbor’s house on charges of attempted homicide and battery.

WATCH OUT In the seaside village of Lytham St Annes, England, Douglas Cholmondley Travis, an 88-year-old member of the local Neighborhood Watch, was on patrol Oct. 10, 2017, when he and an 87-yearold watch colleague noticed a van turning into Lytham Park Cemetery. Regarding the vehicle as suspicious, they began taking pictures of it until Antony James, driver of the van, there only to visit family graves, grew angry and stopped, according to Metro News. James got out of his van to confront Travis, causing a panic, according to defense attorney Robert Castle, that resulted in James being knocked down by the Neighborhood Watch vehicle and Travis charged for reckless driving and assault. “This is all terribly sad,” Castle told Blackpool Magistrates Court in late April, as his client is “one of the eyes and ears of the police.” Travis was fined 40 pounds plus court costs.

TRUMP’S RUSSIAN REMARKS SPUR LOCAL VIGIL

After President Trump challenged the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow interfered with the 2016 election, pundits argued whether it’s appropriate to apply the words “treason” and “traitor” to the 45th POTUS. About 120 people at the Syracuse Confront Corruption vigil on Wednesday, July 18, seemed to have no qualms about that language.

“Nyet my president,” read a handmade sign one participant carried at the James M. Hanley Federal Building. The Syracuse candlelight vigil was among about 150 nationwide to challenge conflicts of interest, ethics violations and the abuse of government offices for personal gain.

2 for $50 3 courses

The event came several days after the Justice Department announced indictments against 12 Russian nationals as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The indictments accuse the Russians of engaging in a “sustained effort” to hack Democrats’ emails and computer networks.

For Marlena Mackie of Syracuse, Trump’s remarks at the Helsinki press conference exonerating Russian President Putin were the last straw. “Our president is a traitor and our country is not for sale,” she said. “He was up there siding with the Russians.”

Mackie and her mother, Constance Bourne of Syracuse, have participated in several anti-Trump events since his election. Bourne has questioned Trump’s allegiance to the United States since his July 2016 news conference, when he encouraged the Russians to “find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” That same day, Bourne noted, the Russians who were indicted attempted to break into Hillary Clinton’s private servers.

Dinner Deal + Bottle of Wine

“I’ve been waiting for everyone to catch up,” Bourne said. “It used to be you could trust the government to protect you.”

Wanda Abrams of Onondaga attended the vigil because “I believe democracy is under attack.” Congress, including Republican Rep. John Katko, she said, “is not doing its job.” She would like to see Congress do more to confront Trump.

“No man is above the law, even if he’s sitting in the White House,” she said.

Dana Balter, Democratic candidate opposing Katko for the 24th Congressional District, drew cheers as she spoke, directly challenging Katko. “There’s no question whose side I’m on,” she said. “I stand with the constitution. Whose side are you on, John?”

“Day-na, Day-na, Day-na,” the crowd chanted several times. “Boo,” the crowd hissed in response to Katko’s name.

“Vladimir Putin’s government attacked our democracy,” Balter said. “It attacked our country and it attacked its citizens.

John Katko and his party have done noth-

ing to (protect) the 2020 election. Are they serving Donald Trump and Putin?

Or are they there to serve America and its people?”

Katko describes himself as a moderate, and in a 2018 campaign ad released in early July, he touted his bipartisan record.

But his votes support Trump’s positions 89.5 percent of the time, according to the website FiveThirtyEight.

Randy Potter, regional director for Central New Yorkers for Trump and longtime local Republican committee member, stood at the edge of the rally, observing what he called “the entertainment.” He remains committed to Trump. “There’s never been a president stronger on Russia than Donald Trump,” he said.

Nearby, protesters held candles, which organizers described as the “shining light of hope on our democracy.” What was Potter doing there? “I gotta find out Dana’s talking points,” he said. SNT Renée K. Gadoua is a freelance writer and editor.

STAGE

FROM SIZZLING SCHWARZ TO AUSTEN’S POWER

A

massive hit in 1972 and the 34th longest-running Broadway musical of all time, Stephen Schwartz’s Tony Award-winning Pippin has been strangely absent from local floorboards for some time. That may be because it has been a favorite of high school programs, as it is a story of maturation and calls for a large cast.

Yet director Garrett Heater’s Syracuse Summer Theatre mounting of Pippin, running through Aug. 5 at the Mulroy Civic Center’s BeVard Room, is no kids show. The frequent eroticism in Bob Fosse’s dance numbers would addle the school board. And choreographer Jodi Bova-Mele’s recreation of those steps is something only well-trained performers could handle.

The Pippin of the title was a historical character of whom almost nothing is known. Freshman students will remember his name as the improbable, insignificant-sounding heir of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne (possibly “Charles the Magnificent”). The rest is cheerfully anachronistic, especially in Heater’s own costumes. Charlemagne never fought the Visigoths, as vile as they sound, because both father and son are our contemporaries in the search for fulfillment.

Although the stage is bare, the space is filled with a human parade of fluctuating numbers known as the Players. The

10

dark, vaguely Mephistophelian Leading Player (Joshua Kimball) breaks through the fourth wall to narrate the action and also speaks to Pippin. No mere tool, the role of the Leading Player made a star of Ben Vereen in the original production.

Schwartz’s collaborator Roger O. Hirson is evoking the theater of Bertolt Brecht by reminding us of the artificiality of what we’re seeing.

For the title role of Pippin, Heater called up Liam Collins from the Manhattan School for Music and Musical Theatre, and for the dominating father he pulled imposing baritone Bruce Paulsen from the Syracuse Opera Chorus. Collins looks light and agile, but he has to be there for many of the show’s most important numbers, like “Corner of the Sky.” Paulsen’s day job is being a witty announcer at WCNY-FM 91.3, and he turns out to be a lumberjack-sized mountain of a man, adroit at ego-cutting putdowns. He was also Rasputin in Heater’s The Romanovs (November 2011).

7.25.18 - 7.31.18 | syracusenew times.com

Three women play important roles, starting with Julia Berger as the flamehaired stepmother Fastrada, who plots against father and son. Ellen Kotzin portrays the grandmother Berthe; Kotzin’s first-act number, “No Time at All,” with the actress sounding like an eighth-century Auntie Mame, is a show-stopper. And Cassie Angerosa as lovely Catherine helps Pippin to find serenity.

Syracuse Summer Theatre is the name Heater chose for this once-a-year outfit (Spring Awakening, 2017; Cabaret, 2016) that is actually the successor of his Covey Theatre Company that dominated the Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theater Awards for five years. It is also the only local company to make use of the Civic Center’s BeVard Room, one of the most congenial spaces in town.

Heater has moved the mobile seats over where the performances usually are, on the right as you enter, and placed the seven-member orchestra, led by Dan Williams, under the balcony. This puts most of the action in front of the orchestra but allows for some characters to run on the balcony and for the space above that to serve as a projection screen. No one has ever used the BeVard so well.

The stage is likewise sparse during the run of Pride and Prejudice, through Saturday, July 28, at Ithaca’s Hangar Theatre. The production is another literary adaptation from a voice that has become familiar in this neck of the woods.

In 2017, The Wall Street Journal named mid-30ish Kate Hamill “playwright of the year.” Within a 12-month period, three Hamill works were mounted locally: Sense and Sensibility from Le Moyne College’s Boot and Buskin troupe (March 2018), Pride and Prejudice at Syracuse Stage (March 2019), and now this Hangar production of Pride and Prejudice. The reader has already noted that both titles are adaptations of Jane Austen novels. We had a boom in Austen movies during the 1990s, but what Hamill delivers is faster-paced and funnier, yet somehow actually more faithful to the originals.

Hamill’s not-so-secret motive is that she is an actress who wanted to write her own roles, as well as for the whole cast. With doubling up of roles including cross-gender costume changes, every

player gets a bravura moment. The set is nearly bare, and there is a lone keyboard, but the actors carry the whole show.

Curiously, the role of Elizabeth Bennet (Mari Vial-Golden) that Hamill wrote for herself might get many of the best lines, but she participates least in the madcap mayhem.

The model for what Hamill is doing comes from the many stripped-down spoofs of long, lumbering narratives, like Around the World in 80 Days or The 39 Steps, in which action is sped up and a handful of actors take on many parts. The difference with Hamill is that, despite the regular delivery of guffaws, she’s not spoofing. She’s a Janeite herself and wants to keep that cult happy. Thus she slows down in the last of two-hours-plus of action with lengthy dialogues spelling out what we missed, like who will be paired with whom, which miscreants will be punished for lying and who is shamefaced for believing them.

The plot, one of the best-known in western culture, is honored. Girl meets Boy. Boy insults Girl, but we sense that she thinks he’s cool. Boy nonetheless becomes smitten with Girl and proposes marriage. Having been misled, she dumps him. Girl realizes her misapprehension and also learns that Boy is more affluent than presumed. A happy day follows.

Under director Suzanne Agins’ skilled hand, Hamill’s tricks begin to reveal themselves slowly. As we learn the names of the five Bennet sisters, we see that the supposedly least marriageable, Mary, is played for laughs by a stumbling guy (Jared Brendon Hopper) in drag, but when back in male attire turns out to be a blond cutie. In contrast, dark-browed Hal Miers is dastardly Mr. Wickham in male attire, but becomes a swan-like beauty as Caroline Bingley, trailing hauteur.

In a cast of scene-stealers, the most experienced members take the prize.

Diminutive Socorro Santiago cuts a distinctive figure as the fussbudget mother Mrs. Bennet, but with a change of hat and a palsied hand, she becomes the condescending Lady Catherine De Bourgh.

Austin Jones, an Ithaca College Drama faculty member, scores as the oleaginous Mr. Collins, and he’s even better as the stern Mr. Bennet. SNT

On Saturday, July 28, noon to 6 p.m., he’ll play twice during the inaugural Plainville Folk Festival at the Plainville Christian Church, 754 W. Genesee Road, Plainville. The event will feature music, food and vendors from various sponsors.

There is no admission price, but donations are welcome.

When the church held a winter concert series in which Pfanenstiel participated, Rev. Mike Grinalls gave him the idea for a festival. “He thought it would be a fun thing for the community,” Pfanenstiel recalled. “He wondered if I’d help set it up.

And crazy me, I said, ‘Sure’.”

They began planning in February and put together a lineup of artists that Pfanenstiel describes as “under the radar.” Pfanenstiel discovered the performers and groups through an open-mike night he runs on Mondays at The Road, 4845 W. Seneca Turnpike.

“I like that it’s all local,” he said about the festival roster. “I don’t want to say they’re lesser-known people, but they’re not out playing big gigs all the time, but they’re still accomplished musicians. I like that aspect: local, lesser-known and still very, very good.”

Aside from Pfanenstiel, the lineup also features JoAnne Sherwood, Frankie Diamond, Sweet Lou and the Otters, Riverstone and the Syracuse Small Pipes Society.

The Small Pipes Society had a show at The Road about six months ago that impressed Pfanenstiel, making them a leading candidate for the folk fest. The group features a variety of instruments including bagpipes, flute, fiddle and smallpipes, the “more soft-spoken cousins of the Great Highland Bagpipes.” Pfanenstiel expects the mixed instrumentation during their festival performance.

“The mix (of instruments) was just wonderful,” Pfanenstiel recalled about the society’s Road show. “They blended

so nicely. They’re like the original folk music. They just popped up and I thought to give them a try.”

Riverstone will also have Pfanenstiel on their set. The acoustic group features sisters Kate and Betsy Wirshing as well as Van Cleary-Hammarstedt. They perform covers by artists including the Everly Brothers, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Prine.

The hope is that the festival will remind people about the joys of folk music.

“Country and pop have their big niches,” Pfanenstiel said. “Folk music is kind of like a stepchild. This is just one way to keep folk music alive. It’s kind of like bluegrass. You don’t hear a lot about it unless you’re a bluegrass person. Those festivals keep that genre of music alive.”

The folk genre is especially important to Pfanenstiel. “For me growing up, The Beatles were not allowed in the household,” he said. “We were not allowed to have Beatles records or posters. I grew up with my dad’s music from the 1930s and 1940s and classical. When my sister introduced me to Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver, I just fell in love.”

Pfanenstiel’s love of folk music extends to his long-running acoustic jam series, held every third Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m., at the Baldwinsville YMCA, 8040 River Road. Players and audience members meet upstairs for laid-back jams.

“We just go from person to person around the circle,” he said. “Someone will say, ‘I’m gonna play “Leaving on a Jet Plane” in G,’ and everyone goes.”

Instrumentation often includes guitar, ukuleles, violins and mandolin.

Pfanenstiel also emphasized that even though the festival is being held at the Plainville Christian Church, there is no religious push behind the day. “Reverend Mike doesn’t want to label it as a church event,” he said. “You don’t have to wear your suit and tie. It’s just a fun event for the community featuring a nice group of local performers.”

CHRISTIAN ROCKER RICK CUA RECONNECTS WITH HIS FUNK ROOTS

O

ver the past several decades, Syracuse-born songwriter and electric bassist Rick Cua has emerged as a shining star of the Christian rock scene. Cua, 69, now lives in Franklin, Tennessee, where he and his wife, Diana, are on staff at Grace Chapel.

When the talented bassist first dipped his toes into the music biz, however, he was playing at somewhat less-hallowed venues, such as North Syracuse’s Red Rooster and Erie Boulevard’s Soo-Lin. “After a short but fun season with a band called Those Guys – Victor San-

12

sone, Vito Iudice, John Searles and myself – The Campus Walkers was my first really memorable band,” Cua recalled in a recent telephone interview. “We played soul music, things like ‘Soul Man’ and ‘Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.’ That band, with Ricky Chisholm, Chuck Lago,

7.25.18 - 7.31.18 | syracusenew times.com

Micky Nicotra, Tommy Rozzano and Bob Stasko, we had a ball!”

On Sunday, July 29, 7 p.m., Cua will reunite with The Campus Walkers during the History of Syracuse Rock’n’Roll’s Central New York Music Legends Series presented by radio station The Di-

nosaur (95.3). The tribute to Cua, which also features reunions of Dove, C.R.A.C. and Sparrow, takes place at Barbagallo’s, 6344 E. Molloy Road, East Syracuse.

Admission costs $10; call (315) 4377715 for details.

Nicotra can’t make the gig, the Campus Walkers will bring together Cua, singer Ricky Chisholm, drummer Tommy Rozzano, saxophonist Bob Stasko, Mississippi native Tony Hooper guesting on guitar and Bob Halligan Jr. filling in on keyboards. (The Campus Walkers’ last reunion, in August 2014, was also a History of Syracuse Rock’n’Roll presentation.)

In fact, besides Cua, Halligan will be the busiest musician on Sunday’s bandstand. He’ll also fill in for the late Larry Arlotta on sets by Dove, C.R.A.C. and Sparrow. And he’ll helm a mini-set by Ceili Rain, a band he formed with Cua’s help in 1995, also featuring fiddler Diamond Joe Davoli and drummer Cathy LaManna.

While Cua still owns a cherished 1964 Fender Precision Bass, which he bought new more than 50 years ago, over the years he has plugged in Rickenbacker, Ampeg and Framus Star basses into Fender bassman, Ampeg B-15, Sun and Acoustic 360 and 371 amps. These days, he has a Boogie 400 tube head and a Gallien-Krueger rig.

“I usually don’t fly with the Fender,” Cua admitted, “so unless I get brave I’ll have a mid-80s Paul Reed Smith with me. That’s mostly my travel bass.”

But he remembers playing an old upright acoustic bass in his high school stage band and sometimes for the first set of Larry Arlotta Trio gigs at the Red Rooster on Route 11.

Cua’s work with Arlotta led to the for-

mation of Dove, which grew wildly popular on the Thruway circuit in the early 1970s. The quintessential quintet also included flutist and lead singer Howie Bartolo, guitarist Larry Serafini and drummer Dave Hanlon.

Last March, Dove was inducted into the Syracuse Area Music Awards Hall of Fame and headlined the Sammy Awards show at the Palace Theater. The band’s covers of David Bowie and Jethro Tull material like “Suffragette City” and “Cross-Eyed Mary” instantly turned the Palace into a pulsating discotheque.

About 1974, Dove evolved into C.R.A.C.: Chisholm, Rozzano, Arlotta and Cua. They were later joined by guitarist Ron DeRollo, then the late Duane Walker and Matt Greeley. Percussionist Emedin Rivera was added soon after.

DeRollo cannot attend Sunday’s show, but Rivera will be there to thump the congas and recall opening for acts such as Ramsey Lewis, Tower of Power and K.C. and the Sunshine Band at the Onondaga County War Memorial. C.R.A.C. released two singles, “Live Music” and Cua’s composition “Of the Lites,” and an LP titled All for You followed in 1980.

During the late 1970s the band’s personnel continued to expand beyond its four founders, also showcasing musicians such as Dave Hanlon, the late Dave Corcoran and Doug Hall. Longtime C.R.A.C. roadie Don Martell will run sound Sunday.

Hall will be on hand for the reunion of Sparrow, which also starred Cua, Corcor-

an, DeRollo and Rivera. Sparrow will perform its best-known tune, “I Don’t Want to Hear It.” Ron Wray, aka the Syracuse Music Authority, helped organize the Cua tribute. “It took us three and a half years to pull this together,” Wray said. “Ricky’s a busy guy! But I think this show will well represent the early years of his career.”

After playing here with Sparrow, Cua joined The Outlaws in 1980. That Southern Rock outfit enjoyed a Hot 100 hit with its cover of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” during Cua’s time with the band.

In 1983, after scoring two Gold Records with The Outlaws, Cua left the band to dedicate himself full time to contemporary Christian music. Like most Italian-Americans, Cua was raised Roman Catholic, attending Our Lady of Pompei on Ash Street on Syracuse’s North Side and later St. Daniel’s in Lyncourt and Blessed Sacrament in Eastwood.

He married his Henninger High School sweetheart, Diana Circello, in 1970, and several years into their marriage, she accepted Christ as her Savior and spent the next five years praying for Rick to do likewise. Her prayers were answered shortly before he began plucking bass for The Outlaws.

Being born again, Cua said, “was pretty simple. You have to accept the Lord as your personal Savior, you acknowledge that you’re a sinner and ask forgiveness, ask Jesus to come into your life and then just try to do your best. God’s always there. It’s not a supernatural event, necessarily.

“As a child, I always had a sense of who God was, even though I didn’t really know Him,” Cua explained. “I always had the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I also believe that long before I made a serious commitment to Christ, He had His hands on my life.”

The difference between his Catholic upbringing and his Christian re-awakening is like the difference between watching a movie and being in a movie.

“It’s same Jesus, the same God, the same Trinity,” he said. “But being born again gives you a very personal relationship with God. Salvation is a free gift from God.” As a Christian rocker, Cua has notched six No.1 songs, such as 1982’s “You Can

Still Rock’n’Roll,” and nine Top 5 hits plus a Dove Award nomination.

His album titles make his Christian commitment clear: You’re My Road, Wear Your Colors and Songs to Live By. Two discs, Can’t Stand Too Tall and Midnight Sun, climbed up Billboard’s Top Contemporary Christian chart. Celebrating his 25th year in ministry in 2007, Cua released his 12th album, Won’t Fade Away.

“A lot of the songs I write have a worship slant. It’s what I’ve done for years,” he said. “It’s a natural thing. They will be congregational but will also be energetic and pretty vibey. Musically, the recordings rock with appropriate aggression and always have an uplifting message.”

Nowadays, he’s an ordained minister at Grace Chapel in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee. (gracechapel.net), but Cua still feels drawn to the concert stage. “I love to get out and play, I really do,” he said. “I love talking and teaching about worship and songwriting and wrapping the Word around all of that.”

Recently, he has been playing live dates with Blues Counsel, a combo that began in 1987 as the unnamed jam band at the Kingdom Bound Christian Music Festival near Buffalo. Blues Counsel blends blues, rock and a touch of Latin.

The sextet includes Cua’s former C.R.A.C. bandmate Emedin Rivera and guitarist Tony Hooper, who will sit in on several sets Sunday. Hooper — not to be confused with The Strawbs’ founder of the same name — first worked with Cua on a mission to Italy in 1996 followed by session work on Cua’s albums. Blues Counsel’s newest recording is Slow Demolition (independent).

As they approach their golden wedding anniversary in 2020, Rick and Diana Cua continue to reside in the Volunteer State.

They have two daughters, a son-in-law and two grandchildren: Niki, Nina, Todd, Luke and Eva, respectively.

The son of the late North Side guitar guru Buz Cua, Rick has always felt family is important. But his commitment to spreading God’s word extends to the entire human family.

“It’s as simple as ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’” he said. “Love God, love people. You can sure hang your hat on that: love God, love people.” SNT

EATS

By Margaret McCormick

BLISS ICE CREAM OFFERS SAFE HAVEN FOR VEGANS At least once a week, sometimes more, Molly Swartwood and her family pile into the car and take a ride from their home outside Auburn to Bliss Ice Cream in North Syracuse. It adds up to more than 50 miles round-trip, but it’s more than worth it, Swartwood said, for the vegan soft-serve ice cream.

Bliss opened in April in the ice cream window spot between CoreLife Eatery and Chuck Hafner’s Farmers Market and Garden Center, at 7265 Buckley Road.

The venue serves two flavors of nondairy soft serve (chocolate and vanilla), regular soft serve and eight flavors of local favorite Gannon’s ice cream (hard pack). It replaces The Ice Cream Stand, which moved downtown.

“It tastes like cow cream,” said Swartwood, who became a vegan about five years ago. People who are vegan don’t eat meat, dairy or eggs. “It’s so creamy and delicious. I think it’s wonderful they are offering this option for vegans. The mileage is definitely worth it.”

Milk comes from cows, and so does cream. But supermarket shelves are now filled with a sizable array of plant-based milk alternatives. In addition to the popular soy, almond and coconut milks, you can find oat, rice, flax, quinoa, hemp, hazelnut, cashew and macadamia milks.

There’s no shortage of dairy-free desserts

in the frozen food aisle — and local ice cream parlors are stepping up to meet interest and demand, too.

Tess Lowe, the manager at Bliss Ice Cream, said it was a priority for her to offer vegan soft-serve ice cream at Bliss this season. She’s a vegan herself and said the struggle to find vegan soft serve is real. She has driven to both the Great Escape ice cream parlor in Watkins Glen and Vegan Treats, a vegan bakery in Bethlehem, Pennylvania, that also serves vegan soft serve, to satisfy her cravings.

Vegan customers are finding Bliss by word of mouth, she said; some visitors have come from as far as Binghamton.

Bliss uses Temptation brand soy-based bases to make its vegan vanilla and chocolate soft-serve ice cream. The Temptation brand is a product of Chicago Vegan Foods, which also produces vegan hardpack ice cream for restaurants and food service. Strong Hearts Café, 719 E. Genesee St., and Strong Hearts on the Hill at Syracuse University use the hard-pack ice cream, available in many flavors, for their popular milkless milkshakes.

About 85 percent of Bliss’ menu of shakes, sundaes, flurries and floats can be made with the vegan soft serve, Lowe said. Vegan cones are available as well.

Swartwood said her husband and mother have tried vegan flurries with Oreo bits

mixed in, since Oreos are vegan. She’s more of a soft-serve purist. “I keep it simple and go with the vanilla and chocolate twist,” she said.

Bliss Ice Cream is open Sundays through Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. For information, call (315) 2165024 or visit blissicecreamstand.com.

At The Ice Cream Stand, which relocated last spring to 200 W. Water St. near Clinton Square, owner Amanda Hughes offers more than a dozen flavors of traditional Gifford’s ice cream (plus a menu of sundaes, shakes and floats), vanilla and chocolate vegan soft serve ice cream made with a coconut milk base and usually a non-dairy fruit sorbet of some kind. The vegan soft serves can be “twisted.” A popular treat made with both regular and vegan ice cream is ice cream “Standwiches,” made with cookies (regular, gluten free and vegan) from Cathy’s Cookie Kitchen in Armory Square.

Hughes said vegan ice cream made with coconut milk has a distinct coconut flavor. She is in the experimental stage with vegan options and is looking forward to testing vegan soft serve made with cashew milk, which she uses at home and describes as ultra-smooth and creamy.

“There’s always a demand, always a need for vegan options,” Hughes said.

“It makes sense for us to accommodate different dietary preferences. It’s nice for people who want or need to eat different to be able to do so.”

Beyond that, she said, it can be fun and refreshing simply to try something new.

“You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy coconut or cashew or almond,” Hughes said.

The Ice Cream Stand is in the Amos Building, overlooking Clinton Square.

Hours are Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Fridays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays, noon to 10 p.m.; and Sundays, noon to 7 p.m. Call (315) 4584848 or visit theicecreamstand.com.

Other vegan ice cream options include Dole Whip, a dairy-free soft-serve mix that comes in a variety of fruity flavors, including pineapple, mango, lemon, raspberry and strawberry. It is widely available at ice cream parlors in Central New York.

And Perry’s Ice Cream, made in Perry, New York, recently introduced two flavors of vegan ice cream: vanilla and cookies and cream. The ice creams, made with almond milk, are available at local parlors like Fifi’s Ice Cream, 3021 James St.; Carol’s Polar Parlor, 3800 W. Genesee St., Fairmount; and Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe, 8202 Brewerton Road, Cicero.

FESTIVALS

STAGE OF NATIONS ECOFEST CELEBRATES A FEELING OF CONNECTEDNESS

S

yracuse isn’t shy when it comes to boasting its annual summertime street fairs. From the New York State Blues Festival that draws thousands of music fans to the more than 200,000 who flock to Taste of Syracuse, the city has cemented its knack for celebrating.

But there’s another annual downtown festival whose smaller size shouldn’t be cause to underestimate it: the Stage of Nations Blue Rain ECOfest.

“I don’t need to be flashy,” said Irving Lyons, co-producer of the festival. “I just want to be representative of who we truly are,” The event celebrates Haudenosaunee and the comprising Six Nations’ culture, with music, food, crafts and performances. A stage is set up for music acts throughout the two-day event, as showgoers can bring chairs or find places to sit along the Hanover Square fountain area.

One of the biggest draws is the smoke dance competition, where more than 100 will showcase quick steps and complex movements to different drum beats. The dance is derived from a traditional war dance, but changed over time to be more of a social element.

ECOfest began in 2003 after Lyons noticed the Haudenosaunee flag missing from the city’s flagpole. Then-Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll agreed to add it, but Lyons said he felt more needed to be done.

“When I saw that the flag was missing, I said we need something so that our people can feel good and that they’re included in this community as well,” Lyons said.

“You can’t turn left or right in this city without seeing the influence of our culture. Even the names of the streets: Hiawatha Boulevard, Onondaga, I could keep going on. I think people don’t always put that together.”

This is the ECOfest’s 10th year as an annual event at downtown’s Hanover Square. The festival has been folded into the city’s Arts Week celebrations, nestled between the Arts & Crafts Festival along East Onondaga Street near Columbus

16

Circle and the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival on Clinton Square.

The ECOfest draws several hundred visitors every year, which is sizable for Hanover Square; the audience can usually be seen spilling out into nearby streets. The fest is also a grassroots operation, organized by a team of four: Lyons handles the fundraising; his cousin and co-producer Rex Lyons takes care of the music; Larry Luttinger of CNY Jazz acts as the fiscal administrator; and Wenji Shenandoah coordinates the vendors and dancers. A small group of volunteers also helps during the event.

But that intimate setting is what makes the ECOfest special, according to Lyons.

The square, with its handful of trees and greenspaces, turns into a tiny village for two days, as people come together to learn about a different culture and experience a new point of view.

The festival, as suggested by its name, has a strong theme of promoting eco-friendly habits. It also introduces fairgoers to the Seventh Generation Principle, a philosophy that states decisions made today should result in a more sustainable world seven generations from now.

“For two days, we’ll present our philosophies out there, but in a very gentle, subtle way,” Lyons said. “We just want to share our ideas, and it’s up to you. Everyone has a choice, but we’re all in this together.”

That sense of unity permeates the celebrations, and it’s the reason Lyons continues to produce the festival. The feeling of connectedness manifests literally during the round dance, when the public gets invited to join with the performers hand-in-hand to dance together.

“That’s what makes me do this every

year, when you see people from all ages, ethnicities and genders holding hands in unity sharing in peace and friendship,” Lyons said. “It’s very powerful to see people in our town and in our cities holding hands. That’s what we need.”

GETTING CRAFTY DURING DOWNTOWN’S ANNUAL ARTS WEEK

W

ith the historic Landmark Theatre on South Salina Street and the Everson Museum of Art on Harrison Street as its borders, downtown Syracuse has been flourishing with an array of arts. Recent developments like the Redhouse’s move from Armory Square to South Salina, the opening of local craft business Wildflowers Armory and the reimagining of 40 Below as Adapt CNY have only strengthened the creative hub.

But for many who don’t live or work in that part of the city, these things could be overlooked. That’s where Arts Week comes in.

“We get to experience that year-round, so Arts Week gives downtown Syracuse a platform to showcase that vibrancy,” said Alice Maggiore with the Downtown Committee of Syracuse.

The 10-day program is an all-out display of culture and visual and performing arts, with the week’s crown jewel being the AmeriCU Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival, held this year on Friday, July 27, through Sunday, July 29. The artisan showcase’s 48th year will feature more than 170 artists from across the United States and parts of Canada, Maggiore said.

But the craft fair wasn’t always the booming event it is today. It began as a humble showing from a small group of local merchants and craft workers, as they set up their own displays on large panels along Salina Street. Only about 50 people participated, according to Laurie

Reed, the festival’s current director. The Downtown Committee of Syracuse took over the operation of the fair 40 years ago, and it eventually moved toward the heart of downtown.

The festival’s many white tents and long tables will trail along East Onondaga and Montgomery streets, forking out at Columbus Circle. More than 400 artists submitted portfolios to an online database for consideration, with a secret jury narrowing down the candidates, Maggiore said. The works, a mix of mediums and themes, all fall into seven categories: two-dimensional art; photography; sculpture and metalwork; ceramics, glass and mixed media; fabric, fiber and leatherwork; jewelry; and woodworking.

Alexandra Abovyan from Pennsylvania will showcase her origami art, but these aren’t your normal paper cranes. Her works feature more than 100 pieces of paper bent and folded into bright wreathes, flower balls and detailed animals such as pandas and rabbits. Sometimes she throws in LED lighting for pizzazz.

Kathleen Scranton of Connecticut brings a literary flair with her handmade purses. Her company BeeZ by Scranton

repurposes vintage books into handbags, and the pages get turned into paperbacks so you can still read them.

Stuart Crandall’s works from High Fidelity Prints will bring back the local spin, with poster designs that scream Central New York. Crandall is a Seneca Falls native, and his stylized works offer a hodgepodge of 1950s-style pinup scenes and modern, minimalist statement pieces for the big upstate cities.

One tri-color poster reads “Love Syracuse” in bold lettering on a solid gray background, with the “O” replaced by a bright orange.

“It’s so interesting to meet these people who do this for a living,” Reed said.

“The quality of work presented at this show isn’t something you can get at other shows.”

Tying it back to the city are the wealth of street performances, family activities and musical acts happening concurrently throughout downtown. The Redhouse is inviting people to stop in and paint props that will later be part of an art installation in their lobby to promote the production of Peter and the Starcatcher, running Aug. 3 through 5. The Syracuse chap-

ter of Urban Sketchers will be posted up at Columbus Circle to draw the festival action in real time. The Syracuse New Times will hold its annual Street Painting contest along Montgomery Street on Saturday, where fairgoers of all ages can create a chalk art display along the sidewalk for the chance to win a cash prize.

And strung up in the courtyard between the State Tower Building at the Atrium will be a wealth of paper lanterns, which will be familiar to attendees of last year’s festival, Maggiore said. The community was invited to write messages of hope for the city, and now they’ll be displayed for everyone to see.

“Our hope is when they walk to the Jazz and Wine Festival or the ECOfest, they’ll be able to walk through that square and really see how arts connects the area,” Maggiore said.

The Arts and Crafts Festival runs Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A full exhibit directory and event map, along with a listing of Arts Week events, can be found at downtownsyracuse.com.

CHALK ART HITS THE PAVEMENT DURING STREET PAINTING

Colorful chalk artwork will again adorn the sidewalks of Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse (at least until some rain will inevitably wash it all away) during the 28th annual Street Painting Festival, presented by the Syracuse New Times and Famly Times. The event runs Saturday, July 28, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The rain date will be Sunday, July 29.

Street Painting has become a popular tradition during Arts Week, which celebrates the local and national culture of the arts with festivals, performances and gatherings at Hanover Square, Columbus Circle and Clinton Square.

Artists of all age groups can participate, with categories for adults, teens and youth ages 12 and under. Teens and youths both pay $10 for preregistering, and adults pay $20. The price is upped by $5 on Saturday. To preregister, visit cnytix.com/ events/syracuse-new-times-street-painting2018. Chalk will be provided, although bringing extra is always encouraged.

T-shirts designed by the award-winning Syracuse New Times creative team will be available for $15. For each shirt sold, $5 will be donated to Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association, Inc., a Canastota nonprofit where pets can be adopted. There will also be a 50/50 charity raffle.

Prizes will be given out to the first- and second-place winners for each age group. Adults receive $150 and $75; teens come home with $75 and $50; and youths win $50 and $25.

An honorable mention for each group and people’s choice will also win gift cards and other prizes to area businesses.

Entertainment for the day includes Coco the Clown and her face-painting skills. Local artist and designer Tommy Lincoln, whose work can be seen throughout Central New York, including designs for Café Kubal and Glazed and Confused, also said he

CLINTON SQUARE CHILLAXES WITH JAZZ & WINE FEST Time flies when you’re having some swingin’ fun, so it’s hard to believe that the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival will notch its 10th year this weekend. The musical anchor to the annual downtown Arts Week will take place Friday, July 27, and Saturday, July 28, at Clinton Square.

Performers will include saxophonist and vocalist Marcus Anderson, who notched nine years with Prince and the New Power Generation; Toronto vocalist Barbra Lica; smooth sax (and hometown fave) Jackiem Joyner; and talented locals such as Root Shock and Madame Zz & Her Gentlemen.

Sen. John A. DeFrancisco noted during the press announcement, “As a jazz enthusiast, I am always extremely happy to support the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival. This collaborative event helps to highlight great national and local talent and draw thousands of residents and visitors alike to our vibrant downtown Syracuse. I look forward to this year’s outstanding lineup.” Maybe when he leaves office at year’s end, the senator will polish his saxophone and snag a slot for next year’s fest.

Holmes Property Service Manlius, NY 13104 315-430-1034

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be extra-polite and

deferential. Cultivate an exaggerated respect for the status quo. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching dumb TV shows while eating junk food. Make sure you’re exposed to as little natural light and fresh air as possible. JUST KIDDING! I lied! Ignore everything I just said!

Here’s my real advice: Dare yourself to feel strong, positive emotions. Tell secrets to animals and trees. Swim and dance and meditate naked. Remember in detail the three best experiences you’ve ever had. Experiment with the way you kiss. Create a blessing that surprises you and everyone else. Sing new love songs. Change something about yourself you don’t like. Ask yourself unexpected questions, then answer them with unruly truths that have medicinal effects.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your past is not

quite what it seems. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find out why — and make the necessary adjustments. A good way to begin would be to burrow back into your old stories and unearth the half-truths buried there.

It’s possible that your younger self wasn’t sufficiently wise to understand what was really happening all those months and years ago, and as a result distorted the meaning of the events. I suspect, too, that some of your memories aren’t actually your own, but rather other people’s versions of your history. You may not have time to write a new memoir right now, but it might be healing to spend a couple of hours drawing up a revised outline of your important turning points.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One of the most

famously obtuse book-length poems in the English language is Robert Browning’s Sordello, published in 1840. After studying it at length, Alfred Tennyson, who was Great Britain’s poet laureate from 1850 to 1892, confessed, “There were only two lines in it that I understood.”

Personally, I did better than Tennyson, managing to decipher 18 lines. But I bet that if you read this dense, multi-layered text in the coming weeks, you would do better than me and Tennyson. That’s because you’ll be at the height of your cognitive acumen. Please note: I suggest you use your extra intelligence for more practical purposes than decoding obtuse texts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Ready for your

financial therapy session? For your first assignment, make a list of the valuable qualities you have to offer the world, and write a short essay about why the world should abundantly reward you for them. Assignment 2: Visualize what it feels like when your valuable qualities are appreciated by people who matter to you. Assignment 3: Say this: “I am a rich resource that ethical, reliable allies want to enjoy.” Assignment 4: Say this: “My scruples can’t be bought for any amount of money. I may rent my soul, but I’ll never sell it outright.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) As you wobble and

stumble into the New World, you shouldn’t pretend you understand more than you actually do. In fact, I advise you to play up your innocence and freshness. Gleefully acknowledge you’ve got a lot to learn. Enjoy the liberating sensation of having nothing to prove.

That’s not just the most humble way to proceed; it’ll be your smartest and most effective strategy. Even people who have been a bit skeptical of you before will be softened by your vulnerability. Opportunities will arise because of your willingness to be empty and open and raw.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Since 1358, the city

of Paris has used the Latin motto Fluctuat nec mergitur, which can be translated as “She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.” I propose that we install those stirring words as your rallying cry for the next few weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens gives me confidence that even though you may encounter unruly weather, you will sail on unscathed. What might be the metaphorical equivalent of taking seasick pills?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The Spanish word

delicadeza can have several meanings in English, including “delicacy” and “finesse.” The Portuguese word delicadeza has those meanings, as well as others, including “tenderness,” “fineness,” “suavity,” “respect” and “urbanity.”

In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m making it your word of power for the next three weeks. You’re in a phase when you will thrive by expressing an abundance of these qualities. It might be fun to temporarily give yourself the nickname Delicadeza.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Uninformed sci-

entists scorn my oracles. Reductionist journalists say I’m just another delusional fortuneteller. Materialist cynics accuse me of pandering to people’s superstition. But I reject those naive perspectives. I define myself as a psychologically astute poet who works playfully to liberate my readers’ imaginations with inventive language, frisky stories and unpredictable ideas. Take a cue from me, Scorpio, especially in the next four weeks. Don’t allow others to circumscribe what you do or who you are. Claim the power to characterize yourself.

Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, niches or images — except those that squeeze you the way you like to be squeezed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “I have no

notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.” So said Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I don’t have any judgment about whether her attitude was right or wrong, wise or ill-advised. How about you? Whatever your philosophical position might be, I suggest that for the next four weeks you activate your inner Jane Austen and let that part of you shine — not just in relation to whom and what you love but also with everything that rouses your passionate interest. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for some big, beautiful, radiant zeal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “There are

truths I haven’t even told God,” confessed Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. “And not even myself. I am a secret under the lock of seven keys.” Are you harboring any riddles or codes or revelations that fit that description, Capricorn? Are there any sparks or seeds or gems that are so deeply concealed they’re almost lost? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to bring them up out their dark hiding places. If you’re not quite ready to show them to God, you should at least unveil them to yourself. Their emergence could spawn a near-miracle or two.

NOW BOOKING PARTIES! ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW TALENT

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) What are your

goals for your top two alliances or friendships?

By that I mean, what would you like to accomplish together? How do you want to influence and inspire each other? What effects do you want your relationships to have on the world?

Now maybe you’ve never even considered the possibility of thinking this way. Maybe you simply want to enjoy your bonds and see how they evolve rather than harnessing them for greater goals. That’s fine. No pressure. But if you are interested in shaping your connections with a more focused sense of purpose, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In Janet Fitch’s

novel White Oleander, a character makes a list of “27 names for tears,” including “Heartdew.

Griefhoney. Sadwater. Die tränen. Eau de douleur. Los rios del corazón.” (The last three can be translated as “The Tears,” “Water of Pain” and “The Rivers of the Heart.”) I invite you to emulate this playfully extravagant approach to the art of crying. The coming weeks will be en excellent time to celebrate and honor your sadness, as well as all the other rich emotions that provoke tears. You’ll be wise to feel profound gratitude for your capacity to feel so deeply. For best results, go in search of experiences and insights that will unleash the full cathartic power of weeping. Act as if empathy is a superpower.
