A conservation biologist at Australia’s University of New South Wales said in July that his team was headed to Botswana to paint eyeballs on cows’ rear ends. It’s a solution to the problem of farmers who are now forced to kill endangered lions to keep them away from their cows. However, the researchers hypothesize, since lions hunt by stealth and tend to pass up kills if the prey spots them, painting on eyeballs might trick the lions into choosing other prey. (For the same reason, woodcutters in India wear masks painted with faces — backward — for protection against tigers.)

Lending a Hand

In June, the online mega-website Pornhub announced a program to help blind pornography consumers by adding 50 “described videos” to its catalog, with a narrator doing play-by-play of the setting, the actors, clothing (if any) and the action. Said a Pornhub vice president, “It’s our way of giving back.” Later in June, another pornography website (with a frisky name: see bit. ly/29O4G9UURL) inaugurated a plan to donate a penny to women’s health or abuse prevention organizations every time a user reached a successful “ending” while

viewing its videos, with a maximum of two per person per day. Its first day’s haul was $39, or $13 for each of three charities, including the Mariska Hargitay-supported Joyful Heart Foundation.

A Government Program That Actually Works

A motorist in Regina, Saskatchewan, was issued a $175 traffic ticket on June 8 after he pulled over to ask if he could assist a homeless beggar on the sidewalk. According to the police report cited by CTV News, the “beggar” was actually a cop on stakeout looking for drivers not wearing seat belts, who would thus pay the city $175. Driver Dane Rusk said he had unbuckled his belt to lean over in the seat to give the “beggar” $3 — and moments later, the cop’s partner stopped Rusk, thus earning Regina a total of $178.

Farmers high in Nepal’s Himalayas are heavily dependent on harvesting a fungus which, when consumed by humans, supposedly produces effects similar to Viagra — but the region’s rising temperatures and diminished rainfall, thought to be the result of global climate change, threaten the output, according to a June New York Times dispatch. Wealthy Chinese men in Hong Kong and Shanghai may pay the equivalent of $50,000 a pound for the “caterpillar fungus,” and about a million Nepalese are involved in the industry, producing about 135 tons a year. The fungus is from the head of ghost moth larvae living in soil at altitudes of more than 10,000 feet.

People With Issues

Joshua Long, 26, was arrested in Carlisle, Pa., in June for possession of a suspected-stolen human brain, which he allegedly kept in a shopping bag under the porch at his aunt’s trailer home. Police believe that the brain had been a medical teaching aid, but that Long was lacing his marijuana with the brain’s embalming fluid. Long and a former resident of the trailer home called the brain “Freddy.”

An unnamed man, 55, and woman, 40, were arrested near Joplin, Mo., in July, after being spotted riding a stolen lawn mower at 8:45 a.m. — naked. They told police that someone had stolen their clothes while they were skinny-dipping and that the mower was their best option to make it home.

Beautician Sarah Bryan, 28, of Wakefield, England, who garnered worldwide notoriety last year when she introduced a wearable dress made of 3,000 Skittles, returned this summer with a wearable

skirt and bra made of donated human hair — including a substantial amount, she said, of pubic hair. She admits having had to work in an eye mask, breathing mask and thick gloves, out of fear of donors’ hygiene habits. More conventionally, designer Van Tran of Brooklyn won the 12th annual (wearable) Toilet Paper Wedding Dress design contest in New York City in June, with a $10,000 prize from sponsors Charmin and Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Bright Ideas

Picturesque Torrelodones, Spain (pop. 22,000), has 6,000 pet dogs and apparently few conscientious dog owners, which town leaders say accounts for the nearly half-ton of “litter” that accumulates daily. The town’s latest bright idea: installing a 7-foot-high, 10-by-10-foot brown, inflated plastic “swirly” in the center of town as a reminder to residents to pick up after their dogs. Spain’s The Local reported in June that other towns have begun to tackle the problem as well, such as with DNA testing of dogs and street-scrubbing punishment for guilty owners. British student Joshua Browder, 19, created an easy-to-use computer app to help drivers fight parking tickets they believe unjust. Browder reports that users have won 160,000 cases out of 250,000, all in London and New York City, by following his question-and-answer “chat” interface at DoNotPay.co.uk. Browder said he was motivated to develop the app — which, as of now, is still free of charge — after himself getting about 30 tickets he says he did not deserve.

Cognitive Failure

In a May journal article, biologists from the University of Florida and Oklahoma State University found that more than 80 percent of survey respondents want package labels on all foods that have “DNA” content — even though, yes, all meat and vegetables have DNA. The Oklahoma researcher found earlier that about the same number want such labels to be “mandatory.” Law professor Ilya Somin suggests playfully raising the fright level of those respondents by adding this “alarm” to the label they demand: “Warning: Pregnant women are at very high risk of passing on DNA to their children.”

STREET PAINTING CHALKS UP ANOTHER WINNER

he looming Central New York gray sky did not deter attendees from participating in the July 30 Syracuse New Times and Family Times Street Painting contest. The 26th annual edition welcomed 70 participants, artists of all ages and skill levels to decorate the sidewalks across from City Hall. As new additions to Street Painting’s contribution to downtown Syracuse’s Arts Week, there were more attractions for the 2016 showcase. Coco the Clown and her cohorts painted the faces of kids and adults, with butterflies, crawling dinosaurs, full face paintings and more. The Via Napoli Express food truck satisfied hunger pangs with its wood-fired pizzas. On the other end of the Montgomery Street-block, the addition of a dunk tank lured Arts Week patrons to shell out $1 per throw to raise money for Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association. Several community stalwarts perched atop the tank to face the big dip, including Kristin Earle (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Central New York), Mike Intaglietta (Landmark Theatre), Paul Colabufo (Believe in Syracuse and Turbo Bocce) and Brian Cocca (Syracuse Trivia Company and Happenings CNY). Their efforts helped raise $228 for the animal rescue. The artists were not afraid to get immersed in their work. Some walked away clean or with a little color on their hands. Others were covered head to toe in chalk dust. Fulton’s Jerrod Hawkes, who works in wood crafting, used a skull as the inspiration for his pavement square. The drawing displayed darker tones and various shades from light gray to black. The background, however, was blue and purple, with yellow and orange glitter sprinkled atop the skull to represent optimism. “A skull is normally associated with death, danger and destruction,” Hawkes commented. His use of bright colors offset the ominous appearance. Hawkes added that if something negative exists, the polar opposite is also evident, even though we may not see it. The rest of the squares featured vibrant creations: various animals, a man who celebrated his anniversary with a drawing of his wife, a page-to-concrete homage to pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, and Bernie Sanders with Pikachu. Hailey Terchowitz of Syracuse took the People’s Choice Award and second in the teen category, her first wins in the three years she’s participated. Her picture of a pup with a floral crown was eye-catching; she said that animals often serve as her inspiration. She also admires the works of painter Bob Ross. “He said even if you make a mistake, a picture can still turn out beautiful.” Two sisters named Clubine were doubly victorious. Kayli Clubine won first place in the teen contest, while younger sibling Sabrina took second place in the youth category. Along with their, father, Tony, they made this a family outing. “The family is talented” the proud papa said. Sabrina went with an aesthetically brilliant pattern, and Kayli drew nose-to-nose giraffes. “The important thing is we just have fun.” SNT

Mike Piazza and Ken Griffey Jr.

Rocco Carbone photo

GRIFFEY AND PIAZZA HONORED IN COOPERSTOWN The National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016 featured two players who started their careers on the opposite ends of the baseball food chain. Ken Griffey Jr., the son of a star major-league outfielder, was born with one of the sweetest left-handed swings in baseball history and became the first No. 1 overall draft pick to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Drafted out of high school in 1987, he made his major-league debut with the Seattle Mariners at age 19 in 1989 and within a few years was the game’s best all-around player. Mike Piazza, the son of a successful car dealer, was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 62nd round of the 1988 draft — the 1,390th player picked — and only because Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was a close friend of Piazza’s father, Vince. Piazza kicked around the minor leagues for five years and nearly quit in 1990 because he was sitting on the bench for the Dodgers’ Class A team. But in the end, a player who always had to prove people right (Griffey) and a player who always had to prove people wrong (Piazza) ended up in the same place on induction day in Cooperstown. And to hear their speeches on July 24 before 50,000 people at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, the common denominator was that despite their starting positions, both players needed plenty of help to reach the finish line. “One of the most amazing things about the Hall of Fame is that no one goes in here alone,” Piazza said. “We all have had many people helping us, inspiring us, coaching us and, yes, sometimes kicking us in the rear.” Piazza, who spent the bulk of his 16-year career with the Dodgers (1992-1998) and New York Mets (1998-2005), is considered perhaps the greatest hitting catcher of all time, with 427 career home runs (397 as a catcher) and 1,335 RBIs. The 1993 National League Rookie of the Year and a 12-time all-star, Piazza is receiving more credit for his defense now than he did during his career because of the modern emphasis on calling games and “framing” pitches (moving the catcher’s mitt subtly to make balls look like strikes). On Sept. 21, 2001, in the first game at Shea Stadium since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Piazza hit one of the most dramatic

8.3.16 - 8.9.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

home runs in baseball history as his eighth-inning blast lifted the Mets to a 3-2 win over the Braves. Many say that Piazza’s home run started the city’s healing process on an emotional, tearfilled night when the players and fans honored New York City firefighters and police. “The true praise belongs to police, firefighters, first responders, who knew that they were going to die, but went forward anyway,” Piazza said. “I pray we never forget their sacrifice and work to always defeat such evil.” In his 28-minute speech, Piazza thanked his fans and several of his managers, coaches, teammates and family members who enabled him to rise above his 62nd-round status. Among his notable champions was Lasorda, a Hall of Fame manager who convinced the Dodgers to draft Piazza, always encouraged him through his minor-league struggles, and then traded veteran catcher Mike Scioscia to make room for Piazza in Los Angeles. Piazza also singled out Reggie Smith, a former Dodgers minor-league instructor who, when he heard Piazza had quit, went to Piazza’s home and told him to get back to work and do what the Dodgers told him to do. “There are a handful of people in your life who change the direction of your destiny. Reggie was this for me,” Piazza said. Then, looking at Smith in the crowd, he added, “You are a great hitting coach, but the biggest lesson that you taught me was how to get through the game of life and to never quit.” And Piazza, fighting back tears, thanked his father, who suffered a major stroke a few years ago but was able to attend the ceremony. Piazza said his father always dreamed of playing in the major leagues but couldn’t follow that dream as he needed to support his family. “My father’s faith in me, often greater than my own, is the single most important factor of me being inducted into this Hall of Fame,” said Piazza, who was elected in his fourth year on the ballot. “We made it, Dad. The race is over. Now it’s time to smell the roses.” Griffey’s relationship with his father was developed in major-league clubhouses, as Ken Griffey Sr. reached the major leagues soon after Junior was born and played 19 years, includ-

ing the last two with his son in Seattle. Griffey Jr. has said that his favorite moment in baseball occurred in 1990, when he and his father hit back-to-back home runs for the Mariners. “My dad taught me how to play this game, but more importantly he taught me how to be a man. How to work hard, how to look at yourself in the mirror each and every day, and not to worry about what other people are doing,” Griffey said. “See, baseball didn’t come easy for him. He was the 29th-round pick and had to choose between football and baseball,” Griffey continued. “And where he’s from in Donora, Pa., football is king. But I was born five months after his senior year and he made a decision to play baseball to provide for his family, because that’s what men do. And I love you for that.” Dubbed “The Natural” and “Kid,” Griffey was a 13-time all-star and 10time Gold Glove Award winner who ranks sixth on baseball’s all-time home run list with 630. In the 1995 American League Division Series, Griffey put an exclamation point on his greatness with a record-tying five home runs in the five-game series against the New York Yankees, and he famously raced home from first to score the winning run in the 11th inning of the fifth and final game of that series. But Griffey — who, in his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot, received 99.3 percent of the vote, the highest plurality in the history of the election that started in 1936 — made it a point to say that he needed the support of his managers, coaches, teammates and family members to become an all-time great. “The two misconceptions of me are that I didn’t work hard, and that I made it look easy,” Griffey said. “Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was, and you don’t work hard and become a Hall of Famer without working day in and day out. I want to thank my family and friends, the fans, the Reds, the White Sox and Mariners for making this kid’s dream come true.’’ And with that, at the suggestion of fellow Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, Griffey took a Hall of Fame baseball cap and put it on his head backward: the way he used to wear his cap when he was the “Kid.” The crowd, a mix of mostly Mariners and Mets fans, went nuts, and it was a fitting end on a day when the start of the players’ careers was just as important as the end.

TEENFEST STRIKES POSITIVE CHORDS The first-ever TeenFest will shake the walls of Eastwood’s Palace Theatre, 2384 James St., on Saturday, Aug. 6, 4:30 to 9 p.m. The free concert will feature several up-and-coming musicians performing in a hodgepodge of genres. What’s interesting is that Central New York teens have specifically designed the concert for their peers, and it will serve in part as an outreach opportunity. Contact Community Service’s Teen Talk (currently broadcast Sundays at 9 p.m. on WWHT-FM 107.9) has been a progressive program for decades, serving as an outlet for teens. The weekly radio show has transformed into a web-based format since its creation in 1989. The podcast promotes positive choices and allows open dialogue about topics such as sex, drug use, suicide and more.

“Teens are not at the stereotypical adolescent stage and mentality which people may think,” said Noella Mpinga. “They aren’t annoying, and they aren’t lost.” Mpinga, who became involved with Teen Talk last spring, wanted to get involved with suicide and drug abuse prevention. Teen Talk offers an opportunity to help youth trying to figure out what they want in life. Mpinga said TeenFest is simply “something fun to do,” where people can come and hang out without needing to turn to substances to enhance the experience. “We also want to bring awareness to mental health,” she added, as attendees can learn about and get involved with Teen Talk in a relaxed environment. An ever-changing society, merged with the perils of social media, can affect a young adult’s life with desiring to feel ac-

cepted. Recent acts of terrorism, violence, racism and body shaming among other issues can yield questioning, doubt for a better future, stereotyping and bullying. Connor Anthony, a musician with The Easy, said, “The cause alone is cool.” He said along with the raffles and other activities, the music performed will be equally enjoyed by teens and adults. The concert’s performers come from different backgrounds, yet they all shared a love for performing at the open mike nights at Funk ’N Waffles’ university location, where they were discovered by Contact. Performers Exotic and Sk8board will be kick off the evening with a hip-hop set at 5:30 p.m. “We’re positive,” said Brandon Mathis, who performs as Sk8board. “Hip-hop and rap can have a negative connotation: guns, money, drugs. But our messages are more positive, about getting up from what knocks you down.” Moons Aligned, a duo featuring Tyler Lamb and Ned Greenough, will begin at 6 p.m. Payton Bird will follow with a solo country-infused set at 6:30 p.m. Nate Conroy, Mark Dellefave and Brendan McMahon are The Outer Loop, and they’ll kick it up with an indie rock set at 7 p.m. SUNY Oswego outfit The Easy will perform at 7:30 p.m. The edgy jazz and rhythm’n’blues band consists of Brandon and Connor Anthony, Ajay Hosking, Eric O’Mara and Noah Poirier, plus rapper Kidd O’Ryan. Hosking, a Long Island native, says the music scene in Central New York is more diverse compared to his hometown. Having this encouraging miniature festival will open people’s eyes to what else is going on. Headliners The Cuddlefish will end the evening with some ska. The band, featuring Ryan Cass, Noah Dardaris, Max Marcy, Garrit Peck and Joe Russo, recently won the 2016 Battle of the Bands presented by the Jewish Community Center. “This is an opportunity to also support local music,” said Peck. “One of the greatest things about performing is having people watch and enjoy what you do,” said Marcy, “especially if the target audience is people our age.” For more information on TeenFest, call 430-9301.

EXHIBIT OFFERS A CUBAN SANDWICH OF STYLES

he new show Vistas Cubanas presents works by more than a dozen artists, including several who live in Cuba and a quartet who grew up in Cuba, emigrated to the United States and now live in Syracuse. It also displays photos taken in Cuba during the last decade and during the 1850s. And the exhibition, at the Dowling Art Center, features a variety of media and styles. Abisay Puentes has nine pieces on display, powerful acrylics typically portraying a subject in torment. Pieces of wire flow out of his head and cover his eyes, as he struggles with spiritual turmoil. Headphones rest on a post nearby, and it’s possible to listen to music composed by the artist who has lived in Syracuse for several years. The works are part of a series asking two questions: Why do people feel a need to abuse and dominate each other? What is the source of man’s evil? Yadira Cardenas, meanwhile, creates abstract artworks in which she paints a canvas and then affixes paper or twigs or other objects. She works with colors ranging from fiery orange to subdued blue and green. The artist moved to Syracuse in January 2015.

8.3.16 - 8.9.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

A third painter, Orlando Boffill, works mostly in a figurative context with much imagination. One piece includes blue and orange colors, small shapes resembling fishes, a person’s clothing topped by a geometric form instead of a head, and other elements. The exhibit also displays images taken by David Creedon, an Irish photographer, during visits to Cuba from 2009 to 2014. Two of his photos depict Havana at sunrise and the Marecon Seawall near the city’s harbor, but his best images portray Cubans at home. For example, Miguel Angel Sanchez, a campesino, sits in a chair with a machete in his lap. When he was photographed, he had just finished cutting grass. A second portrait shows Ramon Gonsalez Viola, a 70-year-old man, in his room. It’s full of clothing and other possessions, with an image of Che Guevara hanging on the wall. Syracuse photographer Marilu Lopez Fretts has four images in the show. They depict farm workers shaving a hog, a youth group, and a street scene. In the latter photo, a street vendor with his cart stands near a wall while just around the corner a second vendor with a cart waits for customers. In addition, Eduardo Garcia, a wellknown photographer in Cuba, shot young men dancing in the street. It’s an excellent photo that emphasizes their skill and athleticism. The exhibit also presents work by three ceramists living in Cuba: Alberto Lescay, Israel Tamayo, and Jose Luis Berenguer. Even though each of them only has one work in the show, it’s still possible to get some sense of Cuban ceramics. Finally, the show offers a selection of photos taken by George N. Barnard, a Central New York native, who traveled to Cuba during the 1850s. Barnard is best known for images he took during the U.S. Civil War. Vistas Cubanas is a relatively small exhibition and can only sample Cuban art. Yet it successfully presents a variety of interesting artworks, showcases work by local artists and hangs together nicely. The show runs through Aug. 27 at the Dowling Art Center, 1632 Hawley Ave. That facility, the location for the gallery as well as photographer John Dowling’s studio, is open Thursdays through Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 466-8189.

TANGO AND FLASH FOR A STYLISH ROCK OPERA The Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice rock opera Evita, one of the most popular shows of the 20th century, has been strangely absent from local stages in recent years. The revival by the Central New York Playhouse, through Saturday, Aug. 6, comes with two initial distinctions. It is the first directing assignment for ubiquitous music director Abel Searor. And it marks the first lead in a musical for versatile Erin Williamson. It is a big step forward for both of them. Evita might play fast and loose with some minor details, but at its center is some pretty solid history. The real Eva Peron came from the humblest of backgrounds, suffered through a morally shady youth, then rose to power on the arm of dictator Juan Peron. Both Perons enjoyed fanatic populist support, and could portray themselves as persons of the left or right. They robbed what had been one of the richest countries in South America, from which the Argentine economy has never fully recovered. Eva (“Evita” is the affectionate diminutive favored by the masses) turned blond and fancied herself a superstar, craving international recognition, which she was denied. Death from cancer at age 33 transmuted her into a mythic figure. Not surprisingly, Evita has always been unpopular in Argentina. The one element in Evita that has dated the show is the portrayal of Che Guevara. Dramatically, he’s a corrective Greek chorus and Evita’s conscience: Jiminy Cricket with a beard.

When the show opened in 1978, his image, representing popular rebellion, was reprinted on sweatshirts throughout the world. Although Argentine-born, he never interacted with Evita. Through his association with the Castro regime in Cuba, now in ruins, he looks different to us today. Although Searor’s program notes say Evita is a show about love, his informed stagings tell us that popular love for the dictator’s moll was often misplaced. What makes Evita as a dramatic character so interesting is that she contains so much darkness, almost a female Jack the Knife. What other female lead is so morally ambiguous? The reason that Che has virtual double billing is that the character in the show has so many failures with which to charge her. Williamson, sometimes billed under her married name of Erin Sills, has been preparing for this role for some time. We knew what a big, expressive voice she has from her Fantine in the Wit’s End production of Les Miserables (June 2014), and her Evelyn in Rarely Done’s The Shape of Things (March 2010) was one of the most chilling female killers of the decade. Along with being the title character and lead, Williamson’s Evita appears in 13 numbers, growing from a rustic brown-haired adolescent to a cosmopolitan celebrity. The tango that everyone knows, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” is first an exercise in cynicism and secondly a heart-rending plea.

Central New York Playhouse’s spending on this production has been well-invested, especially the costumes (credit for Carleena Manzi, Stephanie Long and Laurie Rolnick) for many, many changes within the large male and female ensemble. Next to those are the posh wigs, designed by Liam Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Pearson and Kathy Gilbert. Fitzpatrick, who also serves as lighting designer, contributes mightily to the production. Already one of the best tenors in community theater, he delivers an absolutely flawless Che Guevara. A champion of the poor, as the script demands, he does not take a superior moral tone but rather calls out Evita’s self-deception. There’s nothing lovable about him because he’s usually angry. Even less sympathetic is the dictator himself, Juan Peron (Rob Searle), who tells us in his first number that politics is “The Art of the Possible” and that he has no ideals beyond self-aggrandizement. He discards his mistress (Carleena Manzi) without a thought to move along with Eva. The mistress’ shrug-shouldered lament, “Another Suitcase in Another Hall,” sets the tone. Searle, who shaved his beard for the role, gives us a Juan who is neither a weakling nor a fool, but rather as a man who could lead millions. One of the few redeemable characters in the drama is naïve Agustin Malgadi (Ben Sills), whom Evita exploits to escape the boonies. Choreographer Sami Hoerner, making a debut appearance, honors the place of the tango in Argentine culture. And Dustin Czarny and Abel Searor’s set design features a balcony that defines Evita’s place above the crowd. SNT

NOT PLAYING IT SAFE AT GLIMMERGLASS

long with being one of upstate New York’s choicest arts destinations, the Glimmerglass Festival of Cooperstown can be expected to make news.

Belying the canard that opera fans are stodgy and risk-averse, the summertime company has dug up a work that many have heard of but almost never actually heard: Gioachino Rossini’s The Thieving Magpie (La Gazza Ladra). It also takes on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, one of the most popular of Stephen Sondheim’s shows (and near-operas) and presents it in a startling new adaptation to make you rethink the music even more than the gore. With its distinctive snare drum rolls, the Overture to The Thieving Magpie has been borrowed so often, as by director Stanley Kubrick for A Clockwork Orange, many will recognize it even if they can’t name it. The two-and-a-half-hour Magpie is 199 years old, and it takes some explaining why the full Italian text should be making its North American premiere only now in Cooperstown. Although a little-seen English version was performed in the Bronx a few years ago, this is the one that makes waves. The score is a winner, chock-full of the delights that make Rossini a composer for the many rather than the few. The problem instead appears to be audience perception of Giovanni Gherardini’s libretto, or book. Rossini’s name is rightly associated with comedy, sometimes salty as in Italian Girl in Algiers. Given that Magpie’s title suggests a folktale, audiences have sometimes been taken aback by the dark motifs at the center: a disgraced father, an innocent servant girl sentenced to death, and a sordid love triangle in which a brutal authority figure tries to split apart

8.3.16 - 8.9.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

two young lovers, reminiscent of Tristan und Isolde. This is what Italians call opera semi-seria, or “half serious,” which we don’t see very often. We begin with an endangered class-crossing romance. Drop-dead gorgeous servant Ninetta (soprano Rachele Gilmore) is in love with the well-born son of the household heir, Giannetto (tenor Michele Angelini), who is just returning from the wars. Nearly everyone is tickled by the match, except for the scowling mother Lucia (mezzo Leah Hawkins), who accuses the girl of theft when a silver fork is reported missing. Absurd as it may sound, theft by a servant brought the death penalty, an outrageous travesty of justice that persisted until just before Magpie premiered. The basso villain appears in the form of the Mayor (Musa Ngqungwana) making three threats: 1. He wants to seduce Ninetta before Giannetto gets home; 2. Find and execute Ninetta’s father, Fernando (baritone Dale Travis), accused of desertion; 3. Take charge of Ninetta’s execution for theft but let her off if she submits to his lust. Not to worry. Despite the momentary dread, this is a rescue opera. And the Magpie of the title, a curvaceous, non-singing avian (Meg Gillentine), saves everyone’s day. The chance to hear Rossini in top form, rescued from silence by conductor Joseph Coloneri and stage director Peter Kazaras, means that Thieving Magpie is one of the most compelling productions anywhere

this summer. The one aria known during the opera’s neglect is Ninetta’s prayer, “Deh, tu reggi in tal momento,” gaining in resonance from its dramatic position, and the high point of the revival. Other riveting moments include the second-act duet between Ninetta and the bird-like household servant Pippo (Allegra De Vita in a breeches role). Impressive in every note is South African-born Musa Ngqungwana as the Mayor. He supplies the required electricity in this peculiar libretto. This rich production, awash with visual wit, reminds us we are still with sunny Rossini, such as the comic peddler Isacco (Brad Raymond). Myung Hee Cho’s art nouveau proscenium, evocative of designer Hector Guimard, helps define a continuing tone. Her surprising costumes conjure up the ghost of Max Schreck from the silent film Nosferatu for a crowd scene. A retreat from gore seems to be the intent of Christopher Alden’s audacious restaging of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd. New York City-based Alden is a frequent guest director, whose characteristically bold stagings prompt the audience to re-examine the entire artistic property. This Sweeney opens on a bare stage, which might be a church hall in a rural English town. The entire cast is dressed in what pass for street clothes from a few decades past. They will take on costumes and assume characters before us. At first sight they tinkle spoon against saucer while miming eating. Instead of horror, this tease of Sweeney Todd’s most shocking theme, cannibalism, evokes not horror but an uneasy titter. As we are no longer attending to Glimmerglass’ usual state-of-the-art production values, our attention shifts readily to what we hear. While the players are still in mufti, we can’t help but be startled by the vocal power they project. Thus, we hear their voices before we see what they’re wearing in different roles. Music dominates. The battle, such as it was, whether Sweeney Todd should be considered so demanding and complex as to be classed as an opera has been long since won. Conductor John DeMain, whose notes refer to composer Sondheim as “Steve,” was a champion of the cause, leading the first production at Houston Grand Opera. In those same notes, DeMain depicts himself as saying to the cast that if he hears them merely singing instead of communicating, they will be fired. It appears that no one was in any danger of leaving

Cooperstown prematurely. Bass-baritone Greer Grimsley brings a thunderous presence to the title role. Not surprisingly, he has also sung the role of Baron Scarpia in Tosca, but here he expresses a wider range of emotion. His light duet with Mrs. Lovett (soprano Luretta Bybee), on which victims provide the best meat pie stuffings, “A Little Priest,” comes off as something by Noel Coward, whereas it is often raucous elsewhere. In a rare visual indulgence, costumer Terese Wadden dresses the pair like the Cockney “Pearl People” seen in London parks generations ago. Todd’s opposite number, the youthful and significantly named Anthony Hope (Harry Greenleaf), delivers the show’s best-known number “Johanna” with unashamed emotion. Unusual in any musical, many of the less attractive male characters are tenors, like brutish Beadle Bamford (Bille Bruley), or slimy rival Adolfo Pirelli (Christopher Bozeka). But then again, so is the admirable, plucky chap who exposes the entire outrage, Tobias Rogg (Nicholas Nestorak), and takes the brunt of its horrors. The two sopranos could hardly make greater contrasts. Patricia Schuman as the beggar woman has the greater task, appearing as little more than a bag lady in much of the action. Director Alden’s

minimalism, allowing us to see what a beauty she is before costuming, undercuts her. When she emerges in full glory at the end, however, she still has the impact. Most impressive of all the Young Artists (i.e. not full professionals) is Emily Pogorelc as the imprisoned virgin Johanna. Her “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” is one of the supreme moments of the opera. In the end, director Alden’s post-modernism was worth trying once. It elevates some of the action, but diminishes the tension of Hugh Wheeler’s startling book. One is enough. The Glimmerglass Festival’s 41st season continues its repertory slate with The Thieving Magpie on Aug. 7, 12, 16, 20 and 25, and Sweeney Todd on Aug. 4, 6, 13, 15, 21, 23 and 26. Also on the schedule: Puccini’s La Boheme on Aug. 6, 9, 11, 13, 19, 22 and 27, and Robert Ward’s operatic version of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible on Aug. 5, 8, 14, 18, 20 and 27. All performances are presented with projected supertitles. The 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 Glimmer glass.org. SNT

GERSHWIN MUSICAL FEATURES FOOTLOOSE FAVORITES

omedy playwright Ken Ludwig has been well represented this year on local floorboards, with recent productions of Cortland Repertory’s The Fox on the Fairway and Syracuse Stage’s Baskerville. Ludwig’s string of surefire audience-grabbers, which have included frequent local mountings of Moon Over Buffalo and Lend Me a Tenor, explains why area companies keep returning to his well. And that’s why Merry-Go-Round Playhouse’s current version of Crazy For You (through Aug. 17) is packing the Emerson Lake venue. Ludwig offers a sly revamping of George and Ira Gershwin’s 1930 musical Girl Crazy, best remembered as the “let’s-put-on-a-show” 1943 MGM movie adaptation with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. Those show-biz clichés are still retained, as well as key Gershwin classics including “I Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You” and “But Not for Me,” and yet there are some welcome additions that boosted Crazy For You into a Tony Award-winning Broadway smash in 1992. The show quickly establishes the toe-tapping promise of young go-getter Bobby Child (Sam Lips), as he yearns to dance his way to stardom for Broadway entrepreneur Bela Zangler (Patrick Oliver James), who instantly dismisses him. Meanwhile, Bobby’s wealthy mom (SuEllen Estey), owner of a banking firm, threatens to chop his allowance unless he heads to Deadrock, Nev., to deliver an eviction notice to

8.3.16 - 8.9.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

the folks who own a struggling theater-turned-post office. Complicating matters is Bobby’s longtime fiancée Irene (LilyAnn Carlson), who wants to seal the matrimonial deal. But it doesn’t help that Bobby falls head over heels for Polly (Katerina Papacostas), the purty lady who runs the hapless Nevada business. When Polly catches wind that Bobby has a foreclosure notice, he impulsively dons a cape and Hungarian accent to imitate Zangler, thus fooling Polly. Then he convinces the Deadwood populace of slowpoke cowpokes to mount a Broadway-style revue. And that’s only the first act. Things get progressively wackier in the second act, with Ludwig adding a dotty British couple named Fodor, as they gather material for a travel book. Then Zangler shows up, which spurs a spot-on tribute to the mirror sequence from the Marx Brothers’ 1933

movie classic Duck Soup. And there are more songs ported over from the Gershwin catalog to ensure the good vibrations found in sophisticated Fred Astaire flicks, including “Nice Work If You Can Get It” from A Damsel in Distress and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” from Shall We Dance. Ludwig favors snappy wordplay and colliding character arcs, always lending a farcical tone to this tongue-in-cheek musical. An early scene indicates Zangler has a roving eye for chorine Tess (Lizz Picini), who rebuffs the married producer by asking about his wife, as he deadpans, “I’m sorry to say she’s in excellent health.” One running gag shows that while Bobby is a dynamic toe-tapper, he is occasionally a toe-stepper whenever he is with a dance partner. There is even a joke regarding the outlandish notion of creating a casino in the middle of the Nevada desert. Director-choreographer Parker Esse’s breathless pacing never lets up in big-time production numbers such as “I Can’t Be Bothered Now,” with Bobby hoofing atop an automobile’s roof as eight showgirls pop out of the trunk, and the socko “I Got Rhythm” hoedown that climaxes the first act. Esse also has a firm hand with the comedic elements, notably the perfectly timed Duck Soup riff between Bobby and Zangler. Even the smallest bits earn major laughs; when the town lunkhead Lank Hawkins (Thomas Schario) declares to Bobby, “You are close to (being) an idiot,” Bobby takes one giant step away from him. As the gotta-sing, gotta-dance lead, actor Sam Lips puckers up with several lovelies during the performance, yet his Bobby trips the light fantastic with incredible skill. And Katerina Papacostas is a swell eyeful who can hit the dance floor with aplomb and also delivers one-liners with a hillbilly accent. Merry-Go-Round’s boffo production of Crazy For You offers gags, gals and Gershwin: Who could ask for anything more? SNT

YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at 1-800342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs.ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

ALL that plot, piece or parcel of land, situated, lying and being in Town of Clay, Onondaga County, New York, Section 2, Block 10 and Lot 33, said premises known as 104 Wadsworth Road, North Syracuse, NY 13212. YOU ARE HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE THAT WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

By reason of the aforesaid, there is due and owing to Plaintiff the sum of $97,919.31, with interest thereon at 4.25000% per annum from February 1, 2015. UNLESS YOU DISPUTE THE VALIDITY OF THE DEBT, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT HEREOF THAT THE DEBT, OR ANY POR-

TION THEREOF, IS DISPUTED, THE DEBTOR JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU AND A COPY OF SUCH VERIFICATION OR JUDGMENT WILL BE MAILED TO YOU BY THE HEREIN DEBT COLLECTOR.

HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE New York State requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to ob-

tain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-2690990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully

describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. Section 1303 NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this Summons and Complaint by serving the copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you may lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the Summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING AN ANSWER WITH THE COURT. Kozeny, McCubbin & Katz, LLP.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by R ob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19) I apologize in

advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught? 1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) August is Adopta-Taurus month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you require additional support and guidance from wise elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of mentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When a parasite or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s your lucky

day! Spiritual counsel comparable to what you’re reading here usually sells for $99.95. But because you’re showing signs that you’re primed to outwit bad habits, I’m offering it at no cost. I want to encourage you! Below are my ideas for what you should focus on. (But keep in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute perfection.) 1. Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity and romanticized pessimism. 2. Withdraw from connections with people who harbor negative images of you. 3. Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play. 4. Don’t give your precious life energy to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions.

baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable wombjail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Could it be true

that the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, inside-out perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!” -- at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’ve worked

hard for many years to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Are you lingering at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny? Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”
