A recent study said Sen. Bernie Sanders’ newest plan to give everyone in the country affordable health care would cost tens of trillions of dollars, and people are torn whether the benefits outweigh the cost. While the cost is high, Business Insider noted the study also revealed overall health care spending would decrease.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN Deputy Henry Guzman with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Florida made his first mistake when he shoplifted — three days in a row — from a Lauderdale Lakes Walmart. His second, and perhaps more devastating, mistake was wearing his uniform while doing so.

Guzman, a 13-year veteran of the department, stole DVDs and Star Wars action figures valued at about $200, WSVN reported. He was arrested on May 21 and charged with three misdemeanor counts of petty theft.

FUN SUCKERS Organizers of Bats Day, a special celebration at Disneyland for the goth community, have called it quits, citing the loss of available tax deductions under President Trump’s new tax law. The annual event began 20 years ago and grew to attract more than 8,000 goths each year, with Disneyland offering discounted tickets and hotel rooms for participants. “We did a lot of research,” Bats Day founder Noah Korda told Vice, “and, unfortunately, it just wasn’t feasible to actually continue with the way that we run the event.” On May 6, about 800 goths showed up for a final group photo in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

LIFE’S A BEACH Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo isn’t going to spend her summer sitting in a stuffy office. Instead, she announced on July 14 that she is holding summer office hours at state beaches, beginning with Scarborough State Beach in Narragansett. She and members of the Office of Constituent Services, who will help connect residents with state services, started their new schedule on July 16.

The governor told the Associated Press she looks forward to hearing directly from residents while visiting some of the state’s most popular destinations.

ROAD ENRAGE Greyhound Bus passengers were frustrated on April 19 after their trip to New York was delayed by mechanical trou-

6

ble and navigational challenges. The ride started in Cleveland, where the scheduled departure time was 2:30 a.m., passengers told WEWS-TV, but the bus didn’t leave until 6 a.m. After crossing into Pennsylvania, the bus turned around, and the driver explained he was returning to Cleveland because of mechanical difficulties. However, the driver missed Cleveland and drove all the way to Toledo before realizing the mistake and heading back to Cleveland. “We were on this bus for seven hours just going in a circle,” said passenger Morgan Staley.

SOMETHING IN THE WAY HE MOVES Neighbors of the “Pooperintendent,” a New Jersey school superintendent nabbed for repeatedly defecating on a high school running track, were nonplussed by the news. Thomas Tramaglini, 42, superintendent of schools in nearby Kenilworth, was charged April 30 in Holmdel, New Jersey, Municipal Court for defecating in public, lewdness and littering after being caught on surveillance video relieving himself on a daily basis during his run at the Holmdel High School track. The track is about 3 miles from Tramaglini’s home in Aberdeen.

But neighbors told NJ.com that Tramaglini always struck them as a nice guy — “Except for pooping on the field,” one added. Another dismissed all the attention: “If he wasn’t a super, this wouldn’t even be news.”

SMOOTH REACTIONS Jose Arreola, 49, of Bellflower, California, was more angry than scared when a police officer drew a gun on him March 16, mistakenly thinking Arreola had stolen a roll of Mentos, which retails for $1.19. A security camera at an Orange County service station captured the incident, showing Arreola placing the Mentos on the counter along with a $20 bill.

As he waited for his change, Arreola put the mints in his pocket, which is when an off-duty officer behind him pulled a gun out of the pocket of his hoody and ordered him to put the mints back on the counter. When the clerk confirmed Arreola had paid, the officer said, “My

8.1.18 - 8.7.18 | syracusenew times.com

apologies.” “It was traumatic, the whole incident,” Arreola told the Orange County Register. “Are you seriously pulling a gun out over a pack of Mentos?”

INEXPLICABLE BEHAVIOR Toronto police determined pranksters might have been behind their discovery on May 2 of a blue Honda Civic hanging from a rope under the Millwood Overpass Bridge, missing its windows, windshield and engine. Originally officials thought the burned-out car might be part of a movie shoot, but further research didn’t turn up any authorized filming in Toronto. “I’ve never seen anything like that before,” a passing cyclist told CTV News. “This is hilarious.” However, officers warned that if caught, the culprits could face charges.

CLICHE COMES TO LIFE Dimitri the Husky can thank a Good Samaritan for reporting that someone was abusing a dog in Lantana, Florida, on May 10. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s officers arrived at the apartment home of Patrick Shurod Campbell, 27, where two roommates said Campbell “beat the hell” out of Dimitri, the Palm Beach Post reported. Officers found the 2-year-old dog locked in a dark closet, shaking and submissive, with a bloody ear. Campbell told police he had bitten the dog to “establish dominance.” Campbell was charged with aggravated animal cruelty; Dimitri was turned over to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control for treatment and re-homing.

TUB THUMPING Evelyn Washington, 29, broke then crawled through a window in a Monroe, Louisiana, home on April 17, then settled into a warm bath with a bag of Cheetos and a large plate of food within reach on the toilet lid. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that when the homeowner returned from work around 5 p.m., she called police, who removed Washington to the Ouachita Correctional Center, where she told them “an unknown male told her to break into the victims’ residence.”

FIT TO BE TIED Police officers in the German town of Neustadt were called April 25 to an apartment building after reports of screaming led neighbors to suspect domestic violence, the Daily Mail reported. Instead, they found a couple receiving instruction in the Japanese art of Shibari erotic bondage from the apartment’s tenant. (“Shibari” translates as “the beauty of tight binding.”) In a statement titled “Fifty Shades of Neustadt,” police reported the couple were “well and in a good mood,” even asking the officers if they’d like to join in, but they had to decline.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? A Planet Fitness customer in Saginaw Township, Michigan, was alarmed April 15 to find a Wi-Fi network named “remote detonator” while searching for an available connection. The gym manager evacuated the building and called police, who brought in a bomb-sniffing dog and declared the facility safe after a threehour shutdown. Saginaw Township Police Chief Donald Pussehl told MLive. com that people often choose odd names for their Wi-Fi networks, adding that one on his own street is called “FBI surveillance van.”

EASY WAY OUT Like any resourceful mom, Johanna Giselhall Sandstrom of Kyrkhult, Sweden, made lemonade out of lemons after she discovered a spelling error in her newly acquired tattoo. Sandstrom had asked the tattoo artist to entwine the names of her two children, Nova and Kevin, on her arm, and it wasn’t until she arrived home that she realized the tattoo read “Kelvin” instead of “Kevin.” “My heart stopped and I thought I was going to faint,” Sandstrom told local newspaper Blekinge Lans Tidning. Removing the tattoo would require multiple treatments, she learned, so Sandstrom decided instead to change her 2-year-old son’s name to Kelvin, The Independent reported on May 16. “When I thought more about it, I realized that no one else has this name,” she said. “It became unique.

Now we think it is better than Kevin.”

LAYOFFS AT BIG APPLE TABLOID SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT NEWSPAPER CRISIS Over the last decade and a half, we’ve been bombarded with reports about large and small newspapers cutting their staff, reducing their content or folding altogether. So last week’s report that The New York Daily News was laying off half of its newsroom staff shouldn’t really have affected us that much. And yet, this time was different.

“We are reducing today the size of the editorial team by approximately 50 percent and re-focusing much of our talent on breaking news, especially in areas of crime, civil justice and public responsibility,” the email to staffers said. The newspaper’s approach “will evolve as we adapt to our current environment.”

News gathering, as crucial a role as it has in our republic, is still a business. Layoffs and budget cuts are part of sustaining a business. And the news industry, particularly newspapers, has been difficult to navigate in a fast-changing culture.

Estimated U.S. daily newspaper circulation, both print and digital, fell 11 percent to 31 million in 2017, according

to the Pew Research Center. In the last three years, newsroom employment has decreased 15 percent.

The New York Daily News is not what many would classify as the traditional local newspaper. A tabloid with an obvious leftward tilt, The Daily News is known for its provocative covers and illustrations. It’s news that is also meant to be entertaining.

But it still conducts a local newspaper’s most basic duty: report local news that matters. And they’ve continued to do that while metro sections in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have all but vanished. Just last year, the paper won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing how the New York Police Department used an obscure civil enforcement law to evict hundreds of poor people from their homes without their being able to challenge the move first.

Fewer reporters subsequently means fewer stories like that coming into the light. Gutting local newspapers means there will be so many stories out there Jen Sorensen

“BHAM!!!!! Total relaxation.” ~Michael R., Yelp reviewer

that may never be told, wrongdoing that may never be uncovered, and problems we may never solve because we may never know that they even exist.

If a local newspaper staple for 99 years like The Daily News is struggling to stay afloat in the news-happening capital of the world, how could one possibly survive in the rural, less populated areas of upstate New York, or anywhere else for that matter? That’s what makes this time different, and frightening.

The stories that will never be told in New York City, with all its important people, big money and public corruption, are reflective of the stories that will never be told in town councils and school board meetings in small towns and cities across the country that saw their local newspapers close down long before the email was sent to The Daily News staffers.

Indeed, coverage of at least 900 communities across the nation has been eliminated since 2004, according to the Poynter Institute. An ongoing project by Columbia University shows that in all of upstate New York, only six counties have three or more daily newspapers somewhere in them. All of the rest have one or two.

A 15-year-old study in The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization examined the relationship between government corruption and “free circulation of daily newspapers per person” in the United States. It found that the lower the news circulation, the greater the corruption.

It taxes the imagination to think of all the stories that already haven’t been told as local news deserts continue to spread.

In a time when we need the free press more than ever, it is dissipating before our very eyes.

One day before The Daily News announced its mass layoffs, Harry Siegel published an opinion piece in the tabloid called “Why we need local journalism: Look around at how vulnerable we are right now.” In the article, he writes, “All told, there are just a handful of reporters left covering public housing, schools, transportation and courts.”

In New York City today, there are now even fewer. SNT

SIDEWALK STRUTTING AT ANNUAL STREET PAINTING The early weather forecasts were wrong for Saturday, July 28, as sunshine pushed past rain clouds for the 28th annual Syracuse New Times Street Painting event.

Nearly 60 people participated, which saw the sidewalk blocks of Montgomery Street from East Fayette to East Washington rainbowed — sometimes literally — with chalk artwork.

A pink parrot took flight a few squares up from a very meta chalk painting of the late artist Bob Ross making another painting. Farther down the line, an octopus in an antique diver’s helmet burst from the pavement, with an arrow from the artist pointing to an “X” with a note: “Stand here for 3-D.” Artists descended on the block just after 8 a.m., with either their own chalk or grabbing handfuls of the provided pieces.

Dolly and Coco the Clown were on site doing face painting and ribbon dances in the blocked-off street. Victoria Bingham of Caricature Classics also lent her artistic talents to the day.

Veteran Street Painting oglers whispered one word as they perused from one colored square to the next: passion. Art-

ists set up shop on the ground for hours, dodging rain sprinkle scares with plastic coverings and preservative spritzes from hairspray canisters to create pieces that would, inevitably, be washed away, all in the name of creativity (and the chance to win cash prizes).

A title defender emerged from the youth category, as 11-year-old Amiah Crisler snagged the first-place prize.

Amiah also won last year with a colorful peacock.

This year’s piece was of a dog done in bright, blocked neons. Amiah said she saw the art style online and wanted to try it out for herself. The piece won over the judges and the public, as she also took home the People’s Choice award.

Amiah said she makes art at home, creating and selling her own paintings, and brought her own soft pastels to use. “It feels great!” Amiah exclaimed about her double win.

Good things came in pairs in the teen division, as a young Liverpool couple put their creative skills together to take first place. Anna Duffy, 16, pitched the idea of entering the contest to her boyfriend

Bryan Poppe, 17. Bryan sent her an idea the night before: a more abstract and whimsical piece, featuring two figures standing hand-in-hand in the center with a heart above them.

This was their first year participating, although both are creative hobbyists: Anna does photography, Bryan sketches for fun.

“We didn’t expect it,” Anna said of the

win. “Everyone here is so creative. It’s amazing seeing everything.”

The adult division prize went to 17-year-old Bryan Fernandez (his 18th birthday will be this month), with his recreation of an iconic hip-hop image: Biggie Smalls in his “King of New York” crown. Fernandez is an artist by profession; his family moved from Yonkers to Syracuse just two years ago.

“I entered last year, and I was amazed at the work I was seeing,” Bryan said.

“I told myself I had to do this again to show I progressed and to sort of redeem myself.”

As a New Yorker, he’s obviously a Biggie fan. He had recreated the piece before on a smaller scale and felt he was able to transfer a lot of emotion — both the expression in the piece and his own feelings — to the work. That made it a perfect work for Street Painting.

“It was only a year of extra experience, and I was able to get first place,” he said.

“It’s amazing.”

Artist Tommy Lincoln: “I don’t think people know what I’m really doing.” Michael Davis photo

GETTING GRAPHIC WITH ARTIST TOMMY LINCOLN

D

uring a segment on the July 23 edition of WSYR-Channel 9’s infotainment show Bridge Street, Syracuse New Times publisher Bill Brod chatted about the Street Painting event that would be held July 28 during Arts Week in downtown Syracuse.

Accompanying Brod was an artist wearing a Four Collar Demons T-shirt (the self-described motorcycle club for comic book fans), a pyramid studded belt and lime green gauges. Using chalk on a stretch of pavement, he sketched a cartoon-style pencil that was curved at the

10

side, had tiny bumblebee wings and was spelling out a curly “lol.”

That man was local graphic artist Tommy Lincoln, who has been redesigning the Syracuse landscape for more than a decade. He is the creative mind behind more projects than most people realize.

8.1.18 - 8.7.18 | syracusenew times.com

“I don’t think people know what I’m really doing, and that’s something I sort of like,” he said.

The coffee cup benches outside Café Kubal on South Salina Street, the stylized peaks and the lumberjack-like man that make up the CNY Brewfest logo, and the funky, mustachioed doughnuts of Glazed and Confused are just a few of the things Lincoln has come up with over the years.

Pair that with the sun and moon mural in Syracuse’s Lipe Art Park and his role as the artistic director of Mayor Ben Walsh’s 2017 election campaign — including the iconic and colorful Syracuse city skyline — and one can tell Lincoln’s creative impulses have had an impact on the Salt City.

Lincoln has always been interested in art, having been raised on a steady diet of cartoons, comic books and punk rock.

Walking into his studio at the Gear Factory along South Geddes Street is almost like entering a funhouse, with boldly colored curtains, a wall covered in shaggy orange fuzz; and an eclectic array of Lincoln’s art and skateboards hanging for décor. His desk sports a Misfits statuette, three stacked books (Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinx, The Flintstones and Yogi Bear, all from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon stable) and what would appear to be a strange plastic rabbit, but is actually a limited edition toy made by French graffiti crew 123Klan and designer Rolito.

“The art that’s fun and funny, that’s

more my universe,” he said. He described his style as cartoony, and many of his pieces feature dramatically defined linework.

He decided to pursue illustration and graphic design in college, getting a bachelor’s degree from Cazenovia College in 2003 and a master’s degree from Syracuse University in 2005. It was at college that he began to wander into the digital world, when the internet was still new and things like Flash were just rolling out. After his schooling was complete, he found himself invited back to the classroom and ended up teaching at both colleges. “‘No matter what you’re doing,’ I told my students, ‘You have to stay fresh,’” Lincoln said. “I would see it in jobs I was in. There’s older people in the industry that when the industry changed, they didn’t stay on top of the game, and they were slowly getting phased out of the system. And it’s like, I don’t want to get phased out, ever!”

That phrase would later become the title of his graphic design business: Stay Fresh. Lincoln started the company with a small team more than four years ago, and now works alongside Chris Sorrentino for programming and interactive content, Graham Fleming as the project manager, designer Kate Palermo and Jessica Montgomery as head of photography.

“I get to bring my art into the corporate world,” Lincoln said. “I listened to a lot of punk rock when I was growing up, so I sort of treat it like I snuck into the system and now I get to blow it up from inside.”

Lincoln said he always tries to bring a creative aesthetic to every project. The coffee stains on the logo of 1911’s Cold Brew Coffee Vodka are digital scans of real coffee stains. And the watercolor honey bee on its Honey Hard Cider was a real painting Lincoln did before cleaning it up digitally.

“Being able to add something into it that’s a little twist or a little flair that will create a more immersive experience for that brand is a smarter approach — and a little more of a strategic approach — than doing it solely from a marketing standpoint,” he said.

To do this, Lincoln first immerses himself in the project. When brainstorming the Cold Brew Vodka design, he had some Recess Coffee brewing nearby (the

coffee used in the drink) and blasted music by Recess co-founder Jesse Daino’s metal band. He’ll often carry tiny notebooks around with him while walking through the city, with Sunday-morning flea markets as one of his favorite places for inspiration. The pages will be filled with concepts and sketches based on what he sees.

“Sometimes I’ll see someone and think, ‘He’d make such a funny doughnut!’ or if someone has a really memorable mustache I’ll sketch it out quick,” Lincoln said, referencing his Glazed and Confused toons.

“Sometimes they look at me like I’m crazy, because they’ll be like, ‘We should make one with arms and legs and it’s running,’ and I’ll just go, ‘Doughnuts don’t have arms,’” he said. “And it’s weird, because the doughnuts don’t have arms, and they don’t have feet, but they have faces and mustaches. But those are just the rules of the world that I made, and I try to stick to those rules as closely as possible.”

Lincoln noted three of his favorite projects. His ongoing partnership with Beak & Skiff has special meaning to Lincoln, since he has been going to the orchard to pick apples since childhood. “These people have treated me like family, and that’s really nice.”

Helping Ben Walsh win the mayoral seat for the city was another obvious highlight. And there’s the graphic work he did for the podcast Tell ’Em SteveDave! with hosts Brian Quinn of Impractical Jokers and Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson from AMC’s Comic Book Men. The podcast runs on Kevin Smith’s SModcast Podcast Network.

While the Liverpool native originally thought he’d end up somewhere like California (mainly for the warmer climate), he said sticking in Syracuse and giving back to the city has been rewarding.

“If you’re doing this for a big company, then cool, do that,” he said. “But I’d rather be doing it for the dude who’s trying to open a restaurant and build his life, because even if that logo goes away, I still helped this guy bring his dreams to fruition.

“I’m just here to please the people of Syracuse. I try to make things look cooler and a little bit more fun. And there are some people who don’t like fun, but they still sit on my coffee cup benches.” SNT

GLIMMERGLASS OPERAS INCLUDE A GRIM FAIRY TALE AND WARTIME HORRORS

It’s our classiest cultural commute: Cooperstown’s world-class Glimmerglass Festival is the only venue under a two-hour drive from most parts of Onondaga County. While producing operas, both familiar and rarely done, is the main activity at the venue’s Alice Busch Opera Theater, it’s called a festival for good reason.

The top draws of the summer are Leonard Bernstein’s blockbuster musical West Side Story, which has sold out all remaining performances, and Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville (Aug. 3, 9, 11, 13, 25), which is always one of the three or four most popular comic operas.

Audiences are less likely to know about the other pair of fully staged productions: Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell’s World War I-themed Silent Night (Aug. 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, 21, 23), winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize, and Leos Janacek’s The Cunning Little Vixen (Aug. 5, 7, 10, 16, 18, 25), based on an early graphic novel.

One of the most widely performed new

operas in recent memory, Silent Night’s one liability is its misleading title. Not only is Franz Gruber’s carol never performed, the opera is anything but comforting.

Inspired by the spontaneous “Christmas truces” in the trenches during the first year of the war, 1914, Campbell’s epic libretto takes its shape from the Academy Award-nominated 2005 French film Joyeux Noel (“Merry Christmas”), another misleading title. It evokes a movie in other ways, with 28 singers (two of whom are female) spread across three platforms and many changes of scene, from the battlefield to ballrooms.

Beating the cinema at its own game, Silent Night’s combat scenes in the first act are more brutal and upsetting than those found in the greatest World War I films, such as Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory, or landmark stage productions like Michael Morpugo’s War Horse. Thank director Tomer Zvulun and lighting designer Robert Wierzel: Their contributions are not mere technical magic but

rather a demonstration of the horror that caused adversaries to stop killing each other briefly and bond.

Puts’ score is necessarily eclectic and allusive because the action crosses the battle lines of German, French and Scottish troops. Conductor Nicole Paiement deftly navigates the constant changes of tone, resisting the slippery slope to sentiment, a criticism of the French cinematic source material.

In the first scene Puts dares to write an Italian-language love duet in the style of Mozart (or possibly Gluck). The scene is an opera house in Berlin where two stars, soprano Anna Sorensen (coruscating Mary Evelyn Hangley) and tenor Nikolaus Sprink (Arnold Livingston Geis), are in their glory. A harsh voice barks that the country is at war. Nikolaus is drafted and sent to the front. The lovers are the thread tying together more than two hours of action.

Simultaneously, other soldiers prepare to go to the front. We see two brothers in a Scottish village, as William Dale

(bass baritone Maxwell Levy) cajoles his brother Jonathan (Christian Sanders) to join up, but William becomes an early casualty, embittering the brother. In a Paris apartment Lieutenant Audebert (baritone Michael Miller) leaves his pregnant wife but takes with him the orderly Ponchel (Conor McDonald), the only comic character in the large cast.

There was no plan for how music would transcend the trenches. First it is a duet in German from Nicholas and Anna, and then bagpipes from the Scottish quarter. After fearful hesitation the troops greet one another, sing songs, take group pictures, and gather the dead from no man’s land.

The carnage returns with a vengeance, however, and generals on all sides consider the brief truce to be traitorous and reassign the men to likely death, the Germans to the frozen eastern front and the French to Verdun.

The Cunning Little Vixen, composed nine decades earlier, takes place just after World War I. It is from Czech composer Leos Janacek (1854-1928), whose stock has been rising recently. He started as a late romantic who moved on as a vigorous late bloomer, writing his most inter-

esting work in the last 10 years of his life.

Here he displays the rhythmic complexity of a post-romantic modernist. He was 70 at the premiere of Vixen in 1924.

Once treated as a curiosity, an orchestral tone poem with vocal interludes, Vixen is revived frequently now. Last year fabled designer Peer Sellars mounted a much-feted realistic production in Berlin.

Given that the story is a beast fable for adults, director E. Loren Meeker wisely instructed costumer Erik Teague to let his imagination soar. As with Silent Night, audiences are likely to remark most about the prominent production values, such as the costumes for the dragonflies, the Mosquito and the title Vixen (Joanna Latini) herself, even above the glorious score.

The “cunning” of the title is a make-do translation of the Czech word bystrouska, which is better rendered as “sharpears” implying sly resilience rather than aggression. She is a force of nature, and there is no fooling with her. In the opening scene a Forester (star baritone Eric

Owens) captures the Vixen while still a girl (Lilly Grady) and keeps her as a pet.

Grown to maturity as a soprano, the Vixen chafes at her confinement amid boring, conservative pets, like the dog (Katherine Maysek), and chews through her rope to escape to freedom. Soon she links with a boy Fox (Alyssa Martin in a trousers/ furry paw) and takes over the nest of the hated Badger (Zachary Owen).

Things don’t work out. In the last act the Forester sees a fox muff in the home of the lusty Poacher (William Clay Thompson) intended for his Gypsy bride.

The bittersweet funeral music for the Vixen’s passing Janacek later chose for his own requiem.

The Glimmerglass Festival takes place at the Alice Busch Opera Theater, a few miles north of Cooperstown on Route 80. It is about a 75-mile drive east from Syracuse on scenic Route 20. For ticket information, call (607) 547-2255 or visit Glimmerglass.org. SNT

Retiring state Sen. John DeFrancisco reflects on his four decades of public service

A

BY WALT SHEPPERD

t the ballot box, retiring Republican state Sen. John DeFrancisco never came in second. “It’s been 41 years,” he reflects. “It started with the school board, and with all my various political races: the city council for two terms as councilor-at-large and the final city council race for president of the city council. That was the first 15, with the last 26 in the state Senate (as deputy majority leader from the 50th District).”

During that tenure in Albany, DeFrancisco became known for his support of the arts, a lasting image emerging from his occasional short solo saxophone performances during several music festivals. Last January he announced he would seek his party’s nomination for governor. He acknowledged the odds were stacked against him: an upstater facing an incumbent downstate Democrat with $30 million in the bank.

He was right. “I know how to play hardball,” he said at the time, pitching barbs at Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo for “pay to play” politics and using a nationwide tourism campaign as a ploy to run for president. But an early poll showed DeFrancisco to be largely unknown outside Central New York. Then in March, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro surged past him with votes from Manhattan Republican committee members.

DeFrancisco stayed in the race until the formal state committee voting at the GOP convention in May, which Molinaro won. Afterward, reflecting on the second-place finish, he noted simply that he didn’t like losing and that he would likely not be seeking re-election to his Senate seat. Potential Republican candidates who have emerged to succeed him include county Comptroller Bob Antonacci and former city Councilor Rick Guy.

After such a distinguished political career, do the loss of the gubernatorial nomination and reversal on key issues like Route 81 and the Near West Side make this a melancholic exit?

If you’re in anything for 41 years, you’re not always successful in getting what wants to be done. For seven of those years I had a battle over the wisdom of spending the amounts of money and tax breaks for Destiny USA (shopping mall). Technically, if you want to look at it, Destiny USA won. But realistically, if you look at the outcome, the things that I said happened exactly the way I said and the city of Syracuse lost millions of dollars in tax revenue. So the fact that you aren’t successful in accomplishing what you want to do doesn’t mean you weren’t doing the right thing. That’s more important to me.

As far as Route 81, I think from the outset there’s been a movement to have a community grid. A lot of people felt that maintaining the current viaduct system made a lot of sense to move traffic. I felt, quite frankly, that there was a way to make everybody whole on this thing and that would be to get rid of the viaduct, and reunite the city without the viaduct going through the city of Syracuse.

But on the other hand, having at least a 1.2-mile high-speed thoroughfare through

the city, I still think to this day it makes a lot of sense. It may cost more, but you’ve got to move product, you’ve got to move people. You don’t want the community grid to be the community gridlock.

I think that from the beginning the powers that be wanted to do the community grid. Some people say it’s urban planning at its best, but others note that it’s the cheapest route. The cheapest isn’t normally usually the best, especially when you’re talking about a project that’s going to be around and moving people for the next 70 years.

So I don’t think it’s bittersweet. I’m still making my point. I still continue to make it. Hopefully, someone will see the light, and if not, I did what I said I would do: namely, be honest with myself and advocate for what I thought would be advocatable.

Second, the Near West Side. I attended the Arts Week press conference where young people were playing bongos and different drum-type instruments. The leader of the group told me that he is in a Near West Side initiative where there is a cluster of artists in certain buildings and he didn’t realize there had been a proposal from Clarkson University to have the state forgive millions of dollars of debt if they would use the funds for economic development.

(Former Syracuse University) Chancellor Buzz Shaw was pushing for an arts community on the Near West Side. I got onto that quickly and was able to get $7 million of debt that SU had with the state to be converted for the Near West Side as an artists’ community. That started the ball rolling.

It certainly hasn’t gone as quickly as I would have liked it to grow, but you have (the PBS channel) WCNY there, you’ve got the literacy organizations there, you’ve got the artists’ communities there.

That’s not a bittersweet moment; I think it was a large success when you think of what was there before. Lastly, they’re going to have a groundbreaking very soon on a performance facility that they got additional money for in the Case Building.

Looking at the whole political experience, what was the best thing? What was the worst thing?

I’m actually editing right now a book I’ve been working on for years. The book basically starts out in two sections: getting there and being there. It has stories about running for office, and it talks about incidents that occurred to me. What jumps out to me is dealing with people that have resulted in incredible things.

For example: Casey’s Place. A group of women came to me years ago and said, “We have mentally handicapped

Clockwise from far left, state Sen. John DeFrancisco at the 2008 Election Day spaghetti lunch/political ritual at Our Lady of Pompei Church (Michael Davis photo); the senator’s January announcement regarding his gubernatorial bid (Michael Davis photo); and a publicity photo from 2000.

children. They don’t get to be with any children because they’re outcasts. We care for them 24 hours a day. How about a place where they could go to be with kids they could relate to? And how about a place for the parents?” Casey’s Place came out of it. And that wasn’t just me.

That funding was to start the process, and we got some funding recently to expand it. There are many of those instances; I couldn’t pick one.

The worst is what’s going on right now: the inability of anyone to act civilly to-

ward each other on any issue. I’ve been disagreeing with people my whole life, and with people disagreeing with me. But you could get along with people, make your point of view and not go ballistic if your way just doesn’t happen.

I get along with everybody and I try to work with everybody. They know where I stand. But I don’t poke them in the eye if I happen to be disagreeing with them.

I think that’s the biggest disappointment.

What is the nature of the upstate/

downstate antagonism? What are the implications?

The nature of the conflict is basically along philosophical grounds. But I, as an upstate legislator, try to make sure that upstate New York gets its fair share of funding, its representation as far as their philosophical leanings.

New York City is a different animal.

It’s a different philosophy. There’s no tax that most legislators from New York NEXT PAGE

Continued from page 15 City wouldn’t wrap their arms around.

There’s no program they wouldn’t want to provide for anybody who wants a program provided for.

That’s part of the situation and I think that you can really see that it’s just not talk. In 2009 and 2010, after an Obama landslide the Senate went Democrat. Of the 32 Senate majority members who were Democrat, 23 were from New York City. And what happened during that period of time was taxes were increased by $10 billion, spending was increased by $10 billion.

But more importantly, when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority was giving funds to try to keep their system going, roads and bridges were totally ignored upstate. They kept saying we’re going to have a package for upstate. It never happened.

There’s this fight between upstate and downstate over philosophy as well as distribution of resources. And then in 2011 Republicans take the Senate back and you have a little bit more balance. That’s what it’s about, but again, I can work civilly with anybody on the other side of the aisle, and I have. So even though we

have these differences, it doesn’t mean you have to act like children when you don’t get your way.

offices. The fact is corruption should be followed all the way up the line to the person who allows it to happen.

One result of what you’re talking about is not a very good reputation for the state. How corrupt is New York state?

As a result of school shootings, should school districts consider arming teachers?

Corruption can be defined in many different ways. You can see the trials that are going on right now. I have a list of all the individuals who were in the Senate and the Assembly in the last 15 years and how many people got charged with various offenses. Some offenses are very serious, such as money being provided to nonprofits where a senator’s family was on the payroll and making a lot of money.

There are situations that are less serious, but they resulted in convictions and jail time. When I became ranking member, the highest Republican on the finance committee, in 2009 to 2010, when Democrats were in control, the chairman was Carl Kruger. He’s still in jail.

Many people have been charged and convicted. The question isn’t whether wrongdoing has happened; there’s wrongdoing that happens in every walk of life, not only politics. The issue isn’t whether the corruption is there. The fact of the matter is that it is and it’s been dealt with existing laws.

Where I go off and disagree with a lot of people is that we need more laws to root out corruption. The existing laws have indicted the majority leader of the Senate, the speaker of the Assembly, the higher-ups and the lower-downs, so the laws are there. Having term limits or having public financing of elections, all these so-called solutions I don’t think even scratch at trying to act appropriately. No matter who is in the Senate seat, there’s an infrastructure, there’s a bureaucracy that exists forever. People there now are going to be there for the next 20 years.

The fact of the matter is the system runs the way it runs based on the leadership.

In my judgment, if you want someone to stay on, people should be allowed to let them stay on. If you want them out, then you vote them out. If they’re corrupt and they’ve got to be indicted and charged and convicted, they should be.

But the fact of the matter is I don’t think it’s going to do one iota to change the corruption that’s being talked about in the state of New York. And when you talk about corruption, going on right now is a whole issue of financial benefits going to developers in the state of New York and the whole program of doling out money, primarily controlled by the governor, to big businesses.

That’s the problem, not whether you have public financing of elections, or whether you have term limits on various

I don’t support that at all. But I do believe that you have to have a defense in schools. You have a wealth of retired police officers that are capable of carrying and using a gun to be resource officers in the schools. Otherwise, the only people that have a chance to use a gun are those who are illegally running into a school.

The Senate passed this year a group of pieces of legislation: more funding for warning systems, metal detectors, trained police officers for the school. The Assembly did not put in a bill in that regard; controlled by New York City, their solution was more gun control. We can debate gun control all night long, but it seems to me if only the bad guys are the ones with weapons, you may be politically correct, but you’re not providing protection.

What is the future of the party system in state government?

When I started out, and even until a couple of years ago, I thought you really had to have a major party endorsement to win. When (Syracuse mayoral candidate) Ben Walsh came to me saying he’d run independent, I said, “You’re nuts.” I was obviously proven wrong. He won.

Donald Trump: Whether you like him or dislike him, the fact of the matter is he was the anti-establishment candidate and he won. Stephanie Miner is running an independent race for governor. Cynthia Nixon has got the Working Families’ line running for governor, and she’s going to primary Cuomo. The odds are that she won’t beat him, but there are more options now than there ever were.

And there are more dissatisfied people than there ever were because nobody likes the friction that’s going on at this point in time that makes it difficult to accomplish anything in a bipartisan manner.

What will it take to replace you?

You have to find a good-looking guy.

No, I don’t know what it will take to replace me, but what I’d like to see replace me is somebody that says it like it is and you always know where the person stands. I could live with disagreeing with people. I cannot live with someone telling me what they think I want to hear and then do something totally opposite.

The credibility of this individual, whoever succeeds me, is the main thing. SNT

NEW FESTIVAL FEATURES SPORTS FIGURES AND FANTASY ACTORS

A

s a kid growing up in Syracuse, Dan Tortora floated between the worlds of sports and entertainment, playing basketball one minute and reading comic books the next. The kind of kid, for example, who would have loved to see former Syracuse University basketball player Baye Moussa Keita and Cousin Itt from The Addams Family TV show at the same event.

So Tortora, who hosts sports and entertainment podcasts across a variety of channels, decided to create an event where jocks and nerds can come together to meet their heroes and benefit a good cause at the same time. The inaugural CNY Pop! Festival will be held Sunday, Aug. 12, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the F Shed at the Central New York Regional Market, 2100 Park St. “I was hoping to create an event where if I was a kid today, I would have begged my mom to take me to it,” Tortora said.

The CNY Pop! Festival will feature former SU basketball stars Roosevelt Bouie, DaJuan Coleman, Dennis DuVal, Otis Hill, Dale Shackleford, Sonny Spera, Howard Triche, Gene Waldron and Moussa Keita, and former SU football stars Robert Drummond and Kyle McIntosh.

The guests from the science-fiction and fantasy entertainment movie world include Felix Silla (Cousin Itt); Michelle Harrison (Nora “Mama” Flash) on The Flash TV series; Kevin Duhaney (Blue DinoThunder Power Ranger, Four Brothers, Half-Baked); Jeff Parazzo (White DinoThunder Power Ranger, Molly’s Game, 12 Monkeys); Blake Foster (Blue Turbo Power Ranger); voice actor Mark Dodson (Star Wars); and Bill Diamond, who won two Emmy Awards with Jim Henson for The Muppet Show.

“I wanted to do something that felt different, was different and gave (Syracuse) something different,” Tortora said.

“I wanted to take the fans of comic-cons and sports fans and put them in the same room together because there are a bunch of us on both sides of the spectrum.”

Those fans can obtain autographs from, and photographs with, the athletes and actors. The festival will include vendors,

food trucks and an interactive family area with Museum of Intrigue, Painting with a Twist DeWitt and Frightmare Farms.

Tortora will also host panel discussions and moderate question-answer sessions with the guests.

Tortora said all proceeds from SU basketball and football signatures will go to the CanTeen of Central New York. Located in Cicero, CanTeen offers a place for teens in eighth through 12th grade to hang out in a welcoming and safe environment, where they can encourage each other to make positive decisions.

“The future of our country is on the shoulders of these young men and women, and this is a way to pay it forward,” Tortora said. “When I was young I wanted people looking out for me and I know the CanTeen looks out for the youth of today.”

Tortora, who lives in Central New York, is president and CEO of Dan Tortora Broadcast Media, LLC. His Wake Up Call with Dan Tortora sports show airs from 9 to 11 a.m. weekdays on internet radio live stream mixlr.com/wakeup calldt and is archived on iTunes, TuneIn Radio, Podbean, YouTube, PlayerFM and his website, WakeUpCallDT.com. His entertainment show Superpowered Pop with DT and EB (Eric Bunch) is archived on superpoweredpop.podbean.com and iTunes.

Tortora, 32, has developed longstanding relationships with the SU athletes, so he said it was easy to get them to agree to attend the event. Even Bouie, who is working a basketball camp that day, said he will spend as much time at the festival as his schedule will allow.

“Syracuse is like a second home to us,” said Shackleford, who lives in Utica. “It’s always good to give back to the

community. And because you’re doing it with Dan, it makes it even more special because Dan’s a great friend and a great person.”

“A great friend asked me,” said Drummond referring to Tortora, “and I really love doing things that help Syracuse grow.”

While in Atlanta covering the Alabama-Florida State football game last fall, Tortora attended the Dragon Con and introduced himself to Harrison since he’s a big fan of The Flash. She liked his idea for the CNY Pop! Festival and agreed to attend, and her agent connected Tortora to Foster.

“One of my favorite things about cons is going to travel to different places, and I’m super-excited to get back to New York,” Harrison said. “Especially to meet the fans because the greatest part of all the cons is meeting everybody.”

At the Foxprowl-Con in Batavia a few years ago, Tortora met Duhaney, Parazzo and Dodson, and they’ve all been guests on his Superpowered Pop show. After agreeing to attend Tortora’s event, Dodson said he would call and invite Silla and Diamond and “it was as simple as that,” Tortora said.

“First off, I’m a Syracuse Orange fan,” Duhaney shared. “I love the basketball team. Any chance I get to go to Syracuse,

I look forward to it. The fact that (this event) is community-driven and appreciating your community and everything people in that community are putting into it, it’s a great thing.”

If you’re an SU sports fan, you probably don’t know that in addition to playing Cousin Itt, Silla was also an Ewok in Return of the Jedi from the original Star Wars trilogy. And if you’re a fan of sci-fi and fantasy, it’s unlikely you know that the Syracuse hoops team went a sparkling 100-18 during the four years that Bouie and Louis Orr played in the late 1970s.

For Tortora, the fun is bringing those two distinct fans together in one place.

“When I was a kid I didn’t have anything like this and I wanted Syracuse to have something different,” he said. “This community is my home, and I love seeing this community do well and hopefully this is something innovative that can start right here.”

Advance tickets to the CNY Pop! Festival are $15 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12; ages 5 and under are free. At the door, tickets will be $20 for adults, $15 for children. For a $30 VIP ticket, fans can receive early admission at 9 a.m. to meet the superheroes and receive a swag bag and T-shirt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taurus socialite

Stephen Tennant (1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him.

As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S.: Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

will be a Golden Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately.

That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

8.1.18 - 8.7.18 | syracusenew times.com

syracusenewtimes

bread and butter until God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb. Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, either from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t worry your

beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.”

A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present. It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) I’m not an ascetic who believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop-nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles and aches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Do you absolutely

need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sen-

sual massages, nine hours of sleep per night, and a steady stream of soulful conversations?

No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I’m pretty sure it would.

So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “Don’t try to steer the river,” writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms. But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra-flexible and robust -- like now, for you -- you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “Dear Astrologer: Recently I’ve been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it’s the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice?

Signed, Ambitious Sagittarius.”

Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.”

Here’s another tip from Anais Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either.

That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accomplish under your own power? 3.

Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the 5 percent that’s truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A scuffle you’ve

been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle.

It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received.

The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears?

Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle.
