ON THE COVER

IN THIS ISSUE CENTRAL NEW YORK WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Traveling for Politics: Would you head out of town to support your favorites? President Donald Trump landed at Griffiss International Airport in Rome on Monday, Aug. 13, to support the re-election of Claudia Tenney (R-NY) as representative of the state’s 22nd District. The president was greeted by a cheering crowd of more than 200 supporters. Trump then visited downtown Utica for a fundraiser, where both Trump fans and protesters set up shop across the street from each other.

HIGH TIMES Two unnamed employees of the Inn at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, Vermont, enjoyed some malted milk ball-type candies left behind by guests on June 13, but they didn’t enjoy the aftermath. The candies were cannabis edibles, and the employees became sick after consuming them. Police arrived to find one of them lying in the parking lot, and both were transferred to the hospital, according to the Associated Press. Recreational use of marijuana became legal in Vermont on July 1; police said the guests who left the edibles would not be charged.

AWWWWWW Six baby squirrels in Elkhorn, Nebraska, found themselves in a sticky situation when their tails became tangled in tree sap and knotted together in their nest. When a man noticed what looked like a six-headed squirrely cluster moving around in a tree, wildlife expert Laura Stastny, executive director of Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, got the call. Stastny told the Omaha World-Herald that her group sees a case like this every year or so. She covered the squirrels with a towel to calm them and then snipped the fur that held them together.

EWWWWWW In Auckland, New Zealand, an unnamed 28-year-old man appeared in court June 18 to answer charges of stealing two human toes from the Body Worlds Vital exhibition, a traveling display that features human corpses and organs preserved through plastination. The toes, valued at $5,500 each, have been returned to the exhibition, the New Zealand Herald reported. The toe thief is looking at seven years in prison and two years for interfering with a dead body.

UNNECESSARY CENSORSHIP In Charleston, South Carolina, Cara Koscinski and her whole family were looking forward to her son Jacob’s May

19 graduation party. The Post and Courier reported he had excelled in his Christian-based homeschool program, earning a 4.79 GPA and the summa cum laude distinction, an honor Koscinski included in the wording on the cake she ordered online from her local Publix store. When the software informed her “profane/special characters (are) not allowed,” Koscinski made clear that phrase was Latin, meaning “with the highest distinction,” and even included a link to a website explaining it. Still, when the cake arrived, it read: “Congratulations Jacob! Summa --- laude Class of 2018.” Jacob was embarrassed, and Koscinski had to tell her 70-year-old mother why the store had censored the word. Publix offered to remake the cake, but as Koscinski noted, “You only graduate once.”

IRONY DEFINED Police officers in North Ridgeville, Ohio, were sure the man who called them at 5:26 a.m. on May 19 to report being followed by a pig was impaired

and hallucinating. But sure enough, the Associated Press reported, officers on the scene found a completely sober man, walking home from the Elyria Amtrak station with a pig trailing behind him. The department’s Facebook page reported that Patrolman Kuduzovic wrangled the oinker into the back seat of his cruiser and later secured it in the station’s dog kennels, where the owner later retrieved it. “Also,” the post noted, “we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they’re funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard.” Touché.

OOPS! Lyons, New York, resident Jesse Graham, 53, must have been surprised when deputies of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department appeared at his door on May 11. WHEC-TV reported that Graham, a fugitive wanted by the Mooresville (North Carolina) Police Department, had apparently accidentally dialed 911, summoning the deputies himself. Graham was charged with being a fugitive from Jen Sorensen

justice and possession of marijuana, and he awaits extradition to North Carolina.

SPELLING BEE

In Lawrence, Kansas, architecture students designed a new bike rack for the Prairie Acre Ribbon Classroom, the first outdoor classroom at the University of Kansas. The metal rack features the letters P-A-R-C, but viewed from another vantage point, they spell C-R-A-P. Social media lit up after a photo was posted May 13, including, “It’ll make a fine bike rack. Crap a diem!” Project PARC KU responded: “The photograph shown is not the intended vantage point, nor is it the message of our project,” but the university had not announced any action, according to the Wichita Eagle-Beacon.

ANGER MANAGEMENT Frustration with the cable company boiled over in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on May 7, when a dispute between an Optimum employee and a woman left the cable worker stranded on high. While the employee was in an elevated bucket working on lines, northjersey.com reported, a 59-year-old woman turned off the truck and “took utility property” before walking away, making it impossible for the worker to lower the bucket. Ridgeview police charged the woman with harassment, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.

CLASS CLOWN A senior prank went unexpectedly wrong for high school student Kylan Scheele, 18, of Independence, Missouri, when he was slapped with a three-day suspension on May 23 and barred from participating in graduation after putting his high school up for sale on Craigslist. Scheele said it was meant to be a joke. “Other people were going to release live mice. I thought, let’s do something more laid back,” he told Fox 4. The ad for Truman High School listed attractive amenities such as newly built athletic fields, lots of parking and a “bigger than normal dining room.” A lawsuit filed against the school district by the ACLU of Missouri failed to reduce the punishment. syracusenew times.com | 8.15.18 - 8.21.18

NO SILVER LINING FOR REMORSELESS KICKBACK KINGPIN

As one of the most powerful people in New York, former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver spent years using his public office for his personal profit. He funneled $500,000 in state grants to a Columbia University doctor who, in return, sent his patients to Silver’s law firm — which then paid Silver for the referrals. He also voted for state tax breaks for a real estate company, which then steered business to a law firm, from which he also received referral fees. He pocketed $4 million in illegal kickbacks and then earned another $1 million by investing that money. He was found guilty of bribery and extortion charges in May for the second time. And just before his second sentencing at the end of last month, Silver had the gall to beg for mercy. The disgraced Democrat wrote a letter to Manhattan federal court, saying he was filled with shame, hardly sleeps and thinks of nothing except his criminal case. “I pray I will not die in prison,” he wrote. The 74-year-old crook has suffered from prostate cancer. Despite his pleas, Silver was sentenced to seven years in prison for his crimes. It is, at best, a reasonable punishment — for mercy is something Silver does not deserve. Convicted criminals are only grant-

ed mercy if they plainly show extreme remorse for their wrongful actions — something that, besides in letters to judges, Silver has not shown. Throughout both his trials, Silver and his lawyers maintained he had done nothing illegal, and that pocketing the money he did was simply a “legal and normal” part of how state government operates. After his first conviction, Silver immediately filed his retirement papers so that he could collect his nearly $100,000-a-year pension instead of offering to send that money back to the state. He skirted prison time after his first conviction and used $1 million in his own campaign funds to pay his legal fees. He appealed the first conviction and is in the process of appealing yet again. None of those instances illustrate that Silver truly acknowledges that his actions were criminal, or that he takes responsibility for those actions. He does not appear sorry for what he did, just sorry that he got caught. Therefore, he does not deserve mercy. Oddly enough, he was granted some leniency. His second sentence of seven years is significantly less than the 12-year sentence he was first given in 2016 before his conviction was overturned thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowed the definition of corruption.

What makes this case even more ludicrous is the last-minute desperate attempt by Silver’s lawyers. They tried to convince the judge to give him an alternative sentence, in addition to some prison time. They proposed Silver’s probation should include “staffing a help desk assisting New York citizens to navigate their way through the state bureaucracy” to “maximize their chances of receiving benefits to which they may be entitled.” Silver is “an intelligent man, with virtually unparalleled knowledge of New York State government,” his attorneys wrote. “The Court could exercise its discretion in a way that punishes Mr. Silver, but takes advantage of his unique talents and still affords the possibility of his living the end of his life in freedom.” The logic behind this idea makes about as much sense as suggesting that a prison escapee would make a good jail guard or that a bank robber would make an excellent secretary of the Treasury. Silver is indeed an intelligent man with virtually unparalleled knowledge of New York state government. That’s how he was able to use it to his financial advantage for several years undetected. He shouldn’t be allowed to go anywhere near government ever again. Since the state Legislature is incapable of passing any sort of concrete ethics reform that might deter other state officials from participating in corrupt activities like Silver, a concrete prison with steel bars is the second-best preventive measure. A no-nonsense seven-year prison term for such a high-profile figure would hopefully make any politician think twice about using their position to make a quick buck. It’s the seriousness of Silver’s position that makes his punishment warranted. If you betray an office of the public trust, the public must get justice. There are few cases where people accused of the same crime would be given the chance of an “alternative sentencing,” so there’s no reason why someone in power should be treated any differently. We hold our elected officials to a higher standard because we put our trust in them to create and defend laws. We also expect them to follow those laws. SNT

We’ve been complacent. We thought everybody knew how important a free press was to our world and that all this talk about us being the enemy of the people would be dismissed for the silliness that it is. But the reckless attacks have continued, instigated and encouraged by our president. When the leader of the free world works to erode the public’s trust in the media, the potential for damage is enormous, both here and abroad. We once set an example of free and open government for the world to follow. Now those who seek to suppress the free flow of information are doing so with impunity. The time has come for us to stand up to the bullying. The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue. We aren’t the enemy of the people. We are the people. We aren’t fake news. We are your news and we struggle night and day to get the facts right.

MUSIC B y R u s s Ta r b y

A promotional photo from the 1990s for the East Hill Classic Jazz Quartet features guitarist Doug Robinson (standing) and trombonisttrumpeter Johnny Russo (seated, foreground).

COLLEGETOWN CHRONICLES WITH THE EAST HILL CLASSIC JAZZ BAND When your repertoire boasts more than 1,000 tunes, you never know what you’re going to play next. “That’s kind of true,” says Ithaca guitarist Doug Robinson, co-leader of Johnny Russo’s East Hill Classic Jazz Band. And that’s part of the attraction for Russo, a multi-instrumentalist who also vocalizes and waxes eloquent about the origins of his tunes, many of which he wrote himself. A versatile brassman, Russo started out in classical music, but found himself drawn to the freedom of jazz improvisation. Now he has chronicled his long, strange trip from symphonic strictures to unrestrained jazz sessions in a new book published by the History Center in Tompkins County. Ithaca Our Home recalls the musicians and music halls of Russo’s adopted home of Ithaca. He was raised in nearby Geneva, where he starred as a quarterback for his high school football team. The book reflects on the long existence of Russo’s East Hill Classic Jazz Band, with detailed remembrances by Johnny and his musicians, along with an 18-song CD of original songs with printed lyrics inspired by the community that supported the combo’s career. The songs include

“Aurora Street Blues,” “College Avenue Strut” and the “Mystery of Taughannock.” Various photos show the band in action in diverse settings, including the Ithaca Farmers’ Market, Cornell’s Fraternity Row, wedding receptions and even Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium, where the group performed in 2003. Russo, 74, is a graduate of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. He was trombonist with the Eastman Wind Ensemble and the Eastman Philharmonia Orchestra, where he performed the “Firebird Suite” under the baton of the composer Igor Stravinsky. “That was a real privilege,” he recalled. After a brief career in symphonic music, Russo became fascinated by instrumental improvisation, especially as utilized in traditional jazz. Ever since founding his East Hill Classic Jazz group in Ithaca in the mid-1980s, Russo has remained a fixture in the Central New York music scene. A gifted trumpet and trombone player, he’s well respected among musicians as a personable entertainer and a remarkable improviser. He has performed for decades at Cornell University social events, including 30 years at the prestigious Alpha Delta Phi Victory Club charity ball. He also plays piano and did so for 35 years of

Sunday brunches at Rulloff’s restaurant. Johnny Russo’s East Hill Classic Jazz Band will celebrate the publication of Ithaca Our Home on Saturday, Aug. 18, 1 to 3 p.m., at the Milton Pavilion on the downtown Ithaca Commons off State Street. The book’s title was previously used by Russo for his 2002 CD Ithaca Our Home. That disc, one of five recorded with Doug Robinson, features tracks such as “Mood Indigo,” “Up a Lazy River” and “Stardust.” In 2008, the Japanese record label Vivid Sound Corporation released two CDs by Johnny Russo and the East Hill Classic Jazz Band. The 13-track discs, Swingin’ Happy and Swingin’ Sweet, showcase songs such as “Chinatown” and “La Vie en Rose,” respectively. In 2007, Russo and Robinson paid specific tribute to Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt in the original composition “In Satch and Django’s Day,” from the CD I Have Dreamed. “Robinson’s wonderful Gypsy guitar runs dance magically with Russo’s golden trumpet tribute to Armstrong,” raved Syracuse’s The Post-Standard. “Johnny is a prolific songwriter,” Robinson said, “so he often comes in with a new tune he’ll want the band to practice and we’ll do that the next time we play out.” When Russo blows his horns along with the other world-class musicians in the East Hill Classic Jazz Band, his originals such as “L’Amour. . .” stand solidly alongside standards such as Louis Armstrong’s theme song, “Sleepy-Time Down South.” “Johnny gets these wacky ideas, but they pan out,” Robinson says. “His song ‘Stuck on a High Note’ (from the 2005 CD Bluebird from the Sky) is basically a novelty song: the story of a poor trumpet player who’s stuck on a high note. But it got (radio) airplay. People even heard it played in France!” While many jazzmen recoil at the idea of performing show tunes onstage, Russo and Robinson see such music as branches of the same tree to which they’re rooted. “Johnny’s biggest inspirations are Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke and Jack Teagarden,” Robinson reminds us, “and all of those guys played show tunes as well as their hot jazz.” The Ithaca combo often trots out two numbers from The King and I: “Getting to Know You” and “I Have Dreamed.”

Unlike some trad-jazz players, Russo also acknowledges pop music from the 1950s, occasionally delivering a medley of songs such as “It’s All in the Game,” “Deep Purple” and “Only You.” Ithaca Our Home’s subtitle is A Forty Year Musical Odyssey in Tompkins County. Russo enjoyed reminiscing about the dozens of musicians he worked with over the years, including Ithaca’s legendary “red-hot mama” Peggy Haine and her Lowdown Alligator Jass Band. “Peggy was tremendous,” he said. “I created plenty of work for many musicians,” Russo recalled. “No jobs were taken from other bands, only new jobs in an environment devastated by the rock industry, which today has gone over the edge in vulgarity.” Along the way, as a result of his urgings, all of the decrepit pianos in the many Cornell fraternities were restored to play-ability. “Of the more than 50 musicians that worked with me over these 40 years, only about 15 remain,” he said, sadly. He pointed out an early jazz influence, Salt City Six trumpeter Don Hunt, who now lives in a Western New York nursing home. Russo’s jazz heroes also included trombonist Dave Remington, vocalist Bernie Milton and Geneva-born drummer Ray Helmer. “Everything about this production is fantastic,” Russo said about the book’s accompanying disc. “And nothing ever came out of this tremendous community before to match it. I am so very proud of this, more than when we went to Carnegie Hall, something no other private Ithaca band ever did.” With that Carnegie Hall credit spotlighted on his resume, Russo continues to front his septet and his East Hill Classic Jazz Trio, featuring Ithaca College guitarist Steve Brown, and often entertains on summer Tuesdays at the Geneva on the Lake casual luxury resort. Some of his listeners might say that Russo is a bit, well, eccentric. “Yes, that’s an accurate way to put it,” Robinson says. “Johnny comes solidly from that New Orleans tradition.” The implication is that on East Hill, as on Frenchmen Street, the music pours forth hot and sweet.

STAGE

By James MacKillop Dance fever: Cast members trip the light fantastic for Merry-Go-Round Playhouse’s Holiday Inn.

FROM IRVING BERLIN’S CLASSIC JUKEBOX TO COMICAL BACKSTAGE CATTINESS Music from the golden age of pre-rock composers is still played all the time, but many of the best numbers are buried in shows too stumbling to revive. The plan has been to rewrite the shows, dropping the dud songs and drawing new ones from the composer’s backlog, and turn the whole thing into a dance musical. Thus George Gershwin’s Girl Crazy morphed into Crazy for You and Harry Warren’s old movie 42nd Street transmogrified into Gower Champion’s stage spectacular. So that’s how we have the new 2016 Irving Berlin dance musical Holiday Inn, which was rejiggered from Paramount Pictures’ 1942 Bing Crosby-Fred Astaire movie. The stage show runs through Wednesday, Aug. 22, at Auburn’s Merry-Go-Round Playhouse. The film’s paper-thin premise is that the Crosby character, jilted by his original girlfriend, should be running a country inn in Connecticut that produces shows only on holidays, even Washington’s Birthday. In some ways the movie was a jukebox musical before the term was invented because Berlin stuck in “Easter

Parade,” written a decade earlier. The prominent hit of the film was “White Christmas,” the biggest-selling single of all time, more poignant than other Berlin fare, presumably because it incorporates the pathos about the beginning of World War II. It is the title number in White Christmas, the 1954 remake of Holiday Inn, but although it appears twice in this version the song feels more like a distraction than a centerpiece. You can’t dance to it. When Lila Dixon (Julie Kavanagh) goes off with dancer Ted Hanover (Benjamin Mapp), song-and-dance man Jim Hardy (Ben Mayne) retreats to his dreamy but decrepit farmhouse in the Connecticut boondocks. Soon he meets high-spirited local Linda Mason (Jennifer Evans), who failed in her attempt to break into show business. Together with resourceful farmhand Louise (Kate Chapman), they decide to turn the venue into the holiday inn of the title. Not a whole lot of tension here. Even the departed Lila and Ted come back to join in the fun, with no hard feelings.

8.15.18 - 8.21.18 | syracusenew times.com

The real stars of the show are veteran music director Corinne Aquilina, director-choreographer Richard J. Hinds, and costumer Tiffany Howard. Although musical theater buffs usually rank Irving Berlin down a notch from George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers, Aquilina pushes him back up with the opening numbers, “Steppin’ Out with My Baby” and “I’ll Capture Your Heart.” Hinds, warmly remembered from last summer’s Guys and Dolls, also worked on Broadway’s Come From Away. This time his capable hands are filled with no fewer than 12 big production numbers, most of them Berlin standards like “Blue Skies,” “Shaking the Blues Away” and “Cheek to Cheek.” Along with these is a female chorus number, the lesser-known “You’re Easy to Dance With,” in which Ted updates the slot originally given to Astaire. The most eye-filling number is “Easter Parade,” in which costumer Howard meticulously recreates the Christian Dior “New Look” of 1947, the year in which the music is restaged. Although the program says that Holiday Inn now belongs

to Universal Pictures (which owns most of the pre-1948 Paramount talkie catalog), the look of this MGR production is more like MGM. Unlike the slender premise of Holiday Inn, there’s plenty of comedy to chew on with It’s Only a Play from playwright Terrence McNally, who arguably ranks among our top 10 living dramatists — although he has not previously been known as a gagsmith. His best-known works, like Master Class and Frankie & Johnny in the Claire de Lune, are graced with sparkling wit but not in nearly every speech. McNally labored on It’s Only a Play through four rewrites over 36 years before it became a smash with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in 2014. It takes practice to hit the bull’s eye, as it does here in this Central New York Playhouse production, running through Saturday, Aug. 18. McNally’s premise may sound familiar but his execution is not. It’s opening night for a Broadway comedy, ominously titled The Golden Egg. In the luxurious apartment of naïve first-time producer Julia Budder (Heather Jensen, in top form), people linked to the show plus hangers-on are anxiously awaiting the first reviews.

Wicker (Donnie Williams), a comic actor and “best friend” of the playwright who passed on the chance to play the lead. He’s now safely berthed in a secure TV show and can say what he wants. This was the Nathan Lane role in the smash revival, and in the opening dialogue with Gus (Isaac Betters), Williams’ Wicker lets ’em fly. Not only is the humor bitchy but it’s aimed at other characters in the play we’re seeing (for handy, rapid exposition) as well as showbiz glitterati. Time has aided McNally’s efforts. In today’s environment we all know more celebrity names, and they’re generally more laughable than they used to be. Williams, additionally, does a wicked Harvey Fierstein imitation. Making the grandest of entrances with an ear-piercing shriek is Virginia Noyes (Anne Fitzgerald), an over-the-hill star recently in Hollywood and hoping to remake her name on Broadway. Clasped with a red ankle monitor, she’s already lit from booze before she decides to take a line of coke, which brings the desired high spirits. Nearly equaling her entrance is the golden-suited British director Frank Finger (Daryl Acevedo in a consistent Mayfair accent). His egotism appears to

be supported by his reputation for having only hit after hit in London. Flopdom is not in his vocabulary. Bringing up the rear is whiny, insecure theater critic Ira Drew (Roy van Norstand), who writes for some other rag than the New York Times and thus knows his opinion can be shrugged off. While some of these characterizations may echo personalities once present in Syracuse community theater, it feels safe to assume that all are recognizable types, and not based on certain persons. All except late-arriving playwright Peter Austen (Abel Searor), the Matthew Broderick character in the Broadway revival. His parents live in Corpus Christi, Texas, playwright McNally’s hometown. Fittingly, he delivers plenty of zingers but philosophizes on the long view. It’s Only a Play is a step forward for longtime actor and choreographer Stephfond Brunson, who drives a furious pace for two hours. Some of his most successful casting defies convention, such as costumer Donnie Williams, who shines in his first big role, and music director Abel Searor as the nuanced autobiographical character.

GRAVEYARD SHIFT Guided tours of Oakwood Cemetery provide unique details from Syracuse’s historic past BY DAVID HAAS

ver the past several years, I have been exploring our local history by visiting Oakwood Cemetery in an effort to find tangible connections to the stories I post on my Instagram account, @SyracuseHistory.

Years ago, when photographing the former chapel in the cemetery, I stumbled upon a flyer for a series of guided walking tours that would be held in the coming months. Shortly thereafter, I attended my first tour. But for vacations, I haven’t missed one since. Most tours are led by local historian Sue Greenhagen. Each tour focuses on a specific section of the cemetery that sits adjacent to the campus of SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and Interstate-81. Oakwood’s first burial occurred in 1859 and it remains an active cemetery today. Greenhagen is a board member for the Historic Oakwood Cemetery Preservation Association, a group dedicated to maintaining and promoting the historic grounds. A native of the Mid-Hudson Valley area, she moved to Syracuse in 1990 and was quickly roped into helping with the cemetery by her sister, who was a board member at that time. “Who knew you could have so much fun with a cemetery,” Greenhagen says. At a recent tour, Greenhagen highlighted the story of Civil War veteran Samuel Abbott. Greenhagen, also

8.15.18 - 8.21.18 | syracusenew times.com

a member of the Onondaga County Civil War Round Table, learned about Abbott’s story while conducting a census of all the Civil War veterans in the cemetery. Greenhagen’s team of volunteers has counted more than 800 Civil War veterans thus far. This total includes a rare Confederate grave, several generals and a member of Glory, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the first African-American regiment organized in the northern states. The title of the most famous soldier buried in Oakwood might belong to General Edwin Vose Sumner, a commanding field officer. According to the research of Rick Burton, Sumner influenced the work of former Syracuse University student Stephen Crane in his writing of The Red Badge of Courage. The story of Abbott is one that must be told, explains Greenhagen. “I get so excited to tell these stories, and the tour provides the perfect venue.” She added that “the tour is never morbid, I make it personal, informative and provide a sense of humor.” Greenhagen recently gathered the group around Abbott’s tombstone

Leaving no gravestone unturned: Oakwood Cemetery’s wealth of history during its nearly 200 years (above, note the backside of the longtime brick bridge, which is more visible on its other side for drivers on Interstate-81) is recalled during monthly tours hosted by Sue Greenhagen. Michael Davis photo

in Section 17 and began telling the tale of what some consider “The Ghost of Albany.” Born in Syracuse in 1833, Abbott enrolled in the 12th New York State Volunteer Infantry at the start of the Civil War. Following the war, Abbott returned home a decorated veteran and began working as the postmaster of the First Ward before the carrier service was inaugurated. For a number of years, he engaged with his

father in the manufacturing of barrels and involved himself in local politics. Around 1896, Abbott decided to move to Albany after being appointed to a position at the Capitol by Archimedes Russell, also of Syracuse, who was a member of the Capitol Commission at that time. On March 29, 1911, the 77-year-old Abbott was working at the State Library inside the Capitol as a night watchman. According to an article in the March

30, 1911, edition of The Post-Standard, Abbott told his co-workers that he was heading out to “make his rounds.” At 2 a.m. a fire broke out inside the building. It was reported that Abbott began an effort to save countless documents, historic artifacts, books and maps. Reports state that Abbott could be seen inside the building opening windows in the smoke-filled library. During the hours that followed, Abbott was reported miss-

ing and believed to have perished. New York Gov. John Alden Dix quickly issued an order to “Find Abbott’s Body!” Workmen, joined by Abbott’s son, George, cleared away debris and ultimately located Abbott among the ruins on the fourth floor. Abbott was the only casualty of the fire. According to a bill honoring Abbott’s memory, “His silver-handled cane was discovered a short distance away, and in his pocket remained a key to a locked door just a few paces further, through which he might have escaped.” Four months before his death, Abbott had returned to Syracuse to mourn the death of his wife of 45 years, Jane, who had passed away after a long illness. It was reported that after his wife had died, Abbott declared “he had nothing left to live for.” Abbott’s body was returned to Syracuse on April 2 and he was laid to rest next to his wife in Oakwood Cemetery. The Legislature provided Abbott’s family with $280.16 for a proper funeral. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently honored Abbott’s memory by ordering that a plaque be installed on the fourth floor of the Capitol building. “Samuel J. Abbott served his nation and died in the service of this state, and this plaque will be a fitting honor of his life and the tragic events that claimed it,” Cuomo said in a statement. “This fire was a significant part of the history of the Capitol and this measure will help ensure this story continues to be told and Samuel Abbott continues to be remembered,” Allegedly, Abbott is somewhat of a legend at the Capitol, as there have been several ghost sightings and reports of an individual resembling Abbott. The ghost floats through the hallways, accompanied by the smell of smoke and the sound of jingling keys. This unique story is just one example of what one might hear when attending one of the guided walking tours hosted by the Historic Oakwood Cemetery Preservation Association. Each tour runs from 60 to 90 minutes. Follow the tour signs to get to each meeting place from the entrance of the cemetery on Comstock Avenue. All tours are free, but donations are accepted. Two tours remain for the year, on Sunday, Aug. 19, and Sept. 16, both starting at 2 p.m. For more information, visit the association’s Facebook page or visit the cemetery yourself and start your journey into the past. As Greenhagen says, “You’ll always find something new in Oakwood Cemetery.” SNT

PINING FOR PYREX The vintage kitchenware with a Corning connection could be found during the Madison-Bouckville Antique Week BY MARGARET MCCORMICK ome people collect gems and jewelry. Others are on the hunt for antique clocks and watches. And there are those who can’t say no to old books, magazines and postcards.

Stephanie Neidl has her collector’s eye trained on colorful, humble, decorated vintage Pyrex. The more, the merrier. Covered casseroles share space with glassware and family keepsakes in a tall hutch in her dining room. In the kitchen, Pyrex ware of all shapes, sizes and hues is stacked neatly in cupboards, holds leftovers in the refrigerator and even cradles her sunglasses on a shelf. Still more is packed away in boxes in the basement. “I couldn’t even count how many pieces I have,” says Neidl, who lives in Baldwinsville with her husband, Terry, and son Hunter. She’s an English teacher in the Baldwinsville Central School District. “I can’t use everything and I can’t display everything. I used to categorize and chart and photograph them,” she adds, surveying a spectacular array of pieces covering a long table. “I 8.15.18 - 8.21.18 | syracusenew times.com

would say 500,” she concludes. “Not counting lids.” Neidl’s love for Pyrex is admittedly over the top. But rare is the person who doesn’t own at least some Pyrex, be it a pie plate, refrigerator set or, if you’re lucky, the classic, workhorse nesting bowls in primary colors. Washed by hand and stored with care, they retain their signature colors and keep going strong, ready to be passed on to or purchased by a new generation of Pyrex faithful. Sarah Spataro and Jessica Johnson, assistant managers at Syracuse Antiques Exchange on North Salina Street, enjoy collecting Pyrex as well as seeing it leave the multi-floor emporium for new homes. They say movies and TV shows, as well as mid-century-inspired home styles and kitchenware spotlighted in “look books” from retailers like Crate and Barrel and West Elm, help to keep the flame burning for vintage Pyrex. “Why buy new items when you can hunt for the real thing?” Spataro says. “Plus, Pyrex is still durable and safe cookware no matter if it’s vintage or new, and I think that’s important to a lot of people.” Stephanie Neidl’s collection began with a few pieces handed down from family and a set of Butterprint Pyrex (turquoise on

white, with an Amish print) that her husband and mother-in-law found at a house sale. Things took off from there. Early in their married life, before closing on their house, the Neidls lived with Terry’s parents for a couple months one summer and spent weekends visiting thrift stores, estate sales and flea markets — and coming home with more vintage Pyrex. A couple years later, while treasure hunting in the Finger Lakes, they stopped at a sale and stumbled upon a trailer full of Pyrex still in its original boxes. That was Stephanie’s introduction to Delphite blue Pyrex, sometimes called Bluebelle, which has become one of her favorites. It’s gray-blue throughout, with no designs or patterns. Delphite was produced for a short time around 1960, she says, and commands high prices because it can be hard to come by. Until that time, she had only seen it in pictures. “It was kind of surreal,” she says. “It was really cool to see that much Pyrex, all in one spot.” Pyrex is a brand name for temperature-resistant glass cookware and ovenware developed in 1914 by Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated) in Corning, New York. The invention of

Pyrex as a brand is credited, in part, to Jesse Littlejohn, a physicist at Corning Glass, and his wife Bessie. The story goes that Bessie Littlejohn had broken an earthenware baking dish and asked her husband if the temperature-resistant glass he was experimenting with for use in railroad lanterns could be used for baking. Turns out it was more than up to that task. According to the Corning Museum of Glass website, Bessie baked cakes and other goods in the glass; the first Pyrex cooking products for consumers were soon introduced in 1915. Early offerings included clear glass pie plates, baking dishes, custard cups, casseroles and loaf pans. It took more than 15 years for Pyrex to gain widespread use in home kitchens. Credit for that partially goes to scientist and home economist Lucy Maltby, who joined Corning Glass Works in 1929. After establishing a test kitchen, Maltby and her team are said to have had a major influence on new products and designs, which were in turn marketed primarily to women. The brightly colored, decorated pieces and designs associated with vintage Pyrex debuted after World War II. They

were both sturdy and stylish and could go from the refrigerator to the oven (and later the microwave oven), which made them enduringly popular. Bake, serve, store. Literally millions of pieces of more than 150 colored patterns and designs were made at the Corning Glass factory in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, through the late 1980s. Today, the Pyrex brand is owned by World Kitchen. Stephanie Neidl went to college in Elmira and was familiar with Pyrex and its connection to nearby Corning. After a while, her approach to collecting became less random and more purposeful. She read up on patterns, prices and availability and started searching and shopping for specific designs and pieces. Once, she bid on eBay for a casserole she wanted in the blue Dianthus pattern and was outbid by another buyer. That buyer turned out to be her husband, who surprised her with it as a gift. Happiness is a husband who shares and supports your Pyrex passion. “We’re very sentimental people, Terry and I,” Stephanie Neidl says. “We like that older vintage style. It goes with our house. It’s fun and it’s functional.” Over the years, Neidl has carved out space for Americana bowls (solid colors

with white rims) and cherished pieces in the Gooseberry, Blowing Leaves, Cosmopolitan, Tree of Life, Blue Stripe (“Barcode”), New Holland and Seville patterns, just to name a few. Colors run the spectrum from 1950s pink and turquoise to 1970s avocado, orange and yellow, plus the occasional black or blackand-white pieces. Bowls, baking dishes, square, round and oval casseroles, fridge dishes, chip and dip sets: Neidl has them all. She’s especially fond of Pyrex bowls with handles that double as spouts. “They’re great for mixing and pouring,” she says. Neidl’s not sure how to best make use of divided dishes, but she has a few of those, too. And when the Neidls entertain, Pyrex is the life of the party. “It’s easy to get carried away,” Stephanie Neidl says. “At the end of the day I only have so much room in the house. It’s fun to think about the history, too, and imagine how things were used and the people who used them.” SNT Margaret McCormick is a freelance writer and editor in Syracuse.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19) “The prettier the

garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B.E. Barnes. That will be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play -- even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Author and theo-

logian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “I’ve learned quite

a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood. Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you really need to learn about next.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Whoever does not

visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity.”)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Many of us imagine

medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers and pinks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your

sign: “Libras can be boring people when they don’t trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian’s at venuspapi.tumblr.com.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A blogger who

calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.” They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing gray green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Since 1969,

8-foot-2-inch-tall Big Bird has been the star of the kids’ TV show Sesame Street. He’s a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Activist and

author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.” Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) According to

my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In her book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now.
