Government in Action

Rabbit Hash, Ky., elected a 2-year-old mayor in November: a dog named Brynneth Pawltro, who won the race by a landslide 1,000 votes. She’s the small town’s fourth canine mayor, having beaten her chicken, donkey and cat opponents, along with other dogs. Running on a platform of peace, love and understanding, Brynn is very outgoing, according to Bobbi Kayser of the Rabbit Hash Historical Society: “There’s always inappropriate licking going on.”

Crime Report

A Spencer’s store at Park Plaza Mall in Little Rock, Ark., took on a Jerry Springer vibe on June 21 when a disgruntled customer tried to steal a stripper pole. A Spencer’s employee chased the woman into the mall and in the ensuing struggle was bitten by the customer, who then relinquished the stripper pole and ran away.

At press time, the biter was still at large.

It’s A Small World

A California man’s 2,000th visit to Disneyland in Anaheim on June 22 made him a celebrity in the park. Jeff Reitz began visiting Disneyland every day after receiving an annual pass as a gift in 2012.

At the time, he was unemployed, but he continued his habit even after finding a job, using the $1,049 Disney Signature Plus Passport. “Until today, cast members would think I looked familiar, but now they know who I am,” Reitz said. “It’s been positive, it’s been a motivator, it’s been my workout gym. This past year I’ve lost about 40 pounds.”

Rear Views

Police in St. Petersburg, Fla., were hunting in late June for the artist tagging buildings with butt cheeks. At least 20 downtown fanny paintings, sporting from two to seven buttocks, have been reported. “It’s not very creative,” sniffed one office worker. “The bottom line is, whoever is doing this is destroying property,” Assistant Police Chief Jim Previterra said. Property owners are wiping the butts away as fast as they appear, but police say the vandal, when caught, will have to pay for cleanup.

Police Report

A SWAT team from the Sumter County (Florida) Sheriff’s department raided The Villages retirement community on June 21, uncovering what they believe is a golf cart chop-shop operation, along with illegal drugs, in the sprawling complex near Ocala. Souped-up golf carts are a popular way to get around in the community, which is home to more than 150,000 people. Windshields, seat cushions, wheels and tires were found in the garage, along with drugs “in plain sight” in the home, Deputy Gary Brannen said.

Five people, ranging in age from 38 to 63, were arrested.

milk comes from brown cows. In fact, the center’s most frequently asked question on its website is, “Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?” (The answer is no.) Almost half of respondents to the center’s survey weren’t sure where chocolate milk comes from at all.

Too Much Time on Their Hands

An industrious group of Russian mechanics created a huge fidget spinner by welding parts of three cars together in the shape of the ubiquitous toy. The Garage 54 team, based in Novosibirsk, tried spinning the creation with one person in each car, but eventually had better luck with just one driver.

Bright Idea

Mike Tingley of Grand Blanc Township, Mich., burned his garage to the ground on July 3 when he used smoke bombs to try to rid the structure of a bees’ nest. When firefighters from three townships arrived, fireworks stored in the garage were shooting into the sky. “We really weren’t going to celebrate the Fourth of July so much,” Tingley said. His home, which was not attached to the garage, was not damaged.

Oops!

Jerry Lynn of Ross, Pa., is continually haunted by the result of a minor mishap 13 years ago while drilling a hole in the wall of his living room. During his project, an alarm clock fell through the hole and to the floor behind the wall. Since then, the alarm sounds dutifully at 7:10 p.m. (standard time) every day.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

Ventura County, Calif., sheriff’s officers charged three produce workers with grand theft fruit after they were caught making unauthorized cash sales of avocados from a ripening facility. Joseph Valenzuela, 38, Carlos Chavez, 28, and Rahim Leblanc,

30, liquidated up to $300,000 worth of off-the-books avocados. “It’s a big product here in California,” said Sgt. John Franchi. “Everybody loves avocados.”

Fashion Emergency

To beat June’s record heat, male students at Isca Academy in Exeter, England, protested the school’s no-shorts rule by wearing the same uniform skirts the girls wear. One boy said the skirts were “quite refreshing.” Another enjoyed the “nice breeze.”

And farther south, in Nantes, France, bus drivers adopted the same skirt-wearing strategy to oppose the bus company’s strict no-shorts policy. Temperatures in the region have reached record highs this year, and female drivers are allowed to wear skirts. The company responded by allowing “shorts that correspond to the uniform’s color scheme of black and beige.”

News That Sounds Like a Joke

Recurring Themes

Two unidentified thieves managed to elude capture even after one of them nearly lost his pants during a Wellington, Fla., car break-in. The man, caught on a security camera June 18 while running back to a getaway car, tripped over his pants and landed facedown, clearly yelling, “My pants fell!” He managed to make it to the vehicle, and the thieves have yet to be identified.

Divine Revelations

Honduran housewife Iris Suyapa Caceres Castellanos “felt something coming into my body from the soles of my feet” after finding a flour tortilla with a likeness of Jesus Christ. Since the discovery on June 14, Castellanos’ home in Danli has been flooded with pilgrims who want a look at the holy tortilla, including Olga Marina, 71, who said: “You look at the little eyes, the little mustache and his hair. . . can you imagine? It’s a miracle.”

Castellanos hopes to preserve the savior-y tortilla for the rest of her life.

SHAFER RAIDS THE DOME TO CRUSH ORANGE HOPES Dear Syracuse University football fans: Repeat after me: It’s only Week 2 of Season 2, it’s only Week 2 of Season 2, it’s only Week 2 of Season 2 . . .

In the second week of Coach Dino Babers’ second year, the Orange seemingly took a huge step backward Sept. 9 with an incredibly frustrating 30-23 loss to Conference USA-member Middle Tennessee State in the “Scott Shafer Bowl” before a paltry crowd of 29,731 at the Carrier Dome.

While the Orange offense repeatedly came up short against Middle Tennessee defensive coordinator and former SU coach Scott Shafer’s attacking defense, the Orange defense allowed three touchdown passes in a 12-minute span in the third and fourth quarters that lifted the Blue Raiders to the upset win.

It’s hard to see the big picture when the little picture looks like it was scribbled outside the lines by a kindergartener.

But clearly, turning SU into a perennial bowl-eligible team is a long-term project that will require patience and trust that Babers is the right coach for the job.

In the Sept. 6 article “Coach Mac,” it was pointed out that legendary coach Dick MacPherson’s first six Syracuse teams went 4-6-1, 2-9, 6-5, 6-5 7-5 and 5-6 before the breakthrough 1987 season, when the Orange finished 11-0-1 and No. 4 in the nation. Several members of the 1987 team returned to the Dome for “Legends Weekend” Sept. 9 and were recognized during a ceremony on the field at the end of the first quarter.

If you think about it in terms of recruiting, it’ll take Babers six years to field a team with seniors that he recruited. Hired to replace Shafer after the 2015 season, Babers played last season with Shafer’s recruits and didn’t get a full recruiting class until this past offseason. Many freshmen sit out a year as redshirts, so most of the players in Babers’ first true recruiting class won’t play as seniors until 2021.

That said, this is not the 1980s and it remains to be seen how much rope SU will give Babers, who compiled a 37-16 record in a combined four years at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green before moving to Syracuse. For this

season, the loss to Middle Tennessee was devastating because most fans figured the Orange would start 3-0 against Central Connecticut State, Middle Tennessee and Central Michigan, and then maybe find three more wins in the Atlantic Coast Conference to finish with a bowl-eligible 6-6 record.

Now, assuming the Orange go 0-5 against powerhouse schools LSU, Clemson, Miami, Florida State and Louisville, SU must go 5-0 against Central Michigan, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest and Boston College to finish 6-6.

For his part, Babers fell on his sword following the Middle Tennessee game.

“There’s nobody to blame but myself.

It’s my job to get them ready, and they

9.13.17 - 9.19.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

weren’t ready,” Babers said. “We didn’t handle the emotional rollercoaster of all the stuff that was brought into this game.

And all the blame should be put right here.”

“All that stuff,” apparently, was the return of Shafer, who had recruited many of SU’s current players and was canned after 3-9 and 4-8 seasons in 2014 and 2015.

The defensive coordinator under previous coach Doug Marrone, Shafer made questionable decisions as the head coach.

Who can forget quarterback Eric Dungey suffering a season-ending concussion in a blowout loss to Louisville and Shafer saying he didn’t remove Dungey because he thought the Orange still had a chance to win the game?

But Shafer was popular with his players, who carried him off the field after the Orange defeated Boston College on a last-second field goal in the last game of the 2015 season — and Shafer’s last game as SU’s coach.

Taking advantage of Syracuse’s young and inexperienced offensive line, Shafer’s attacking defense limited Dungey to 180 passing yards and no touchdowns, and the Blue Raiders sacked Dungey and backup Zack Mahoney six times. Mahoney finished a series in the third quarter after Dungey was temporarily knocked out of the game on an illegal hit by Middle Tennessee defensive end Walter Brady, who was flagged for a roughing-the-passer penalty and was subsequently ejected.

“Coach Shafer is a genius and he always comes up with something,” Dungey said.

“He gave us something that we haven’t seen before, a bunch of different disguises, so props to Coach Shafer.”

Following the game, Shafer received a game ball and broke out a victory cigar he had been saving since he learned Middle Tennessee would be visiting the Dome this season. While Shafer said after the game that it was “bittersweet” because of his relationship with many of SU’s players, he clearly wanted to win against a school that he felt didn’t give him a fair shake.

“He also told us, before the game, that if we win we’ll be best friends for life,” Middle Tennessee linebacker D.J. Sanders said. “So it looks like I’ve got a best friend for life now.”

The game was likely lost in the first half, when the Orange couldn’t take advantage of three Middle Tennessee turnovers and scored only 16 points despite moving inside the Blue Raiders’ 10-yardline four times. SU led 16-9 at the half, but the frustrations mounted in the second half as Orange punt returner Sean Riley’s fumble on a fair catch led to Middle Tennessee’s game-tying touchdown, Blue Raiders quarterback Brent Stockstill started to pick apart SU’s secondary, and Middle Tennessee cornerback Reed Blankenship made a diving interception at the Blue Raiders’ 24-yard line to thwart the Orange’s second-to-last drive.

SU’s final drive — which included the most egregious of the Middle Tennessee fake injuries to slow down the Orange offense — ended with Dungey’s 14-yard pass to Steve Ishmael on fourth-and-15 as Dungey and Ishmael both argued that Ishmael had caught the ball at the first-down marker before getting pushed back. The fake injury occurred midway through that drive as a Middle Tennessee

cornerback fell to the ground clutching his ankle when he realized a teammate wasn’t going to get off the field before the ball was snapped.

“At times, we played well enough to win,” Orange senior linebacker Zaire Franklin said, “and at other times, we made a lot of silly mistakes.”

Franklin said he understands why fans might feel the season is over, but the players don’t feel that way.

“I mean, there’s no panic in the team.

We’re extremely disappointed, I think you can see it in Eric’s face. I think he’s more disappointed than anybody else,” Franklin said of Dungey. “But at the same time, one game is not going to define us. We’ve got 10 more and it’s all about getting back on track, getting a win in the Dome and moving on with our schedule.”

To that end, the Orange will face a Central Michigan team that’s 2-0 after beating Kansas 45-27 Sept. 9 at Kansas.

The Chippewas, who were picked to finish fifth in Mid-American Conference’s six-team West Division, took Syracuse into overtime at the Dome in 2015 before losing 30-27.

Babers said he’s looking for his team to respond the way Virginia Tech did last

FREE

year after the Orange upset the Hokies at the Dome. Virginia Tech bounced back to win the ACC’s Coastal Division and defeat Arkansas in a bowl game.

“First thing, we need to go back and re-examine ourselves tomorrow,” Babers said after the game. “It has to be an honest evaluation. These young men, sometimes you look at them and you tell them the truth, and sometimes they believe you and sometimes they don’t. I guarantee all 104 of them will believe tomorrow, and with that belief we have the opportunity to get better.”

Do you believe? Unfortunately, that’s a question that may take years to answer.

SU will play Central Michigan in its third consecutive home game on Saturday, Sept. 16, 3:30 p.m., at the Carrier Dome (TV on ACC Network Extra). Tickets starting at $25 are on sale now online at Cuse.com/tickets, by phone at (888) DOME-TIX and at the Carrier Dome Box Office (Gate B). SNT

THINGS THAT MATTER

By Luke Parsnow

UPSTATE NEW YORK NEEDS ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT We really don’t need another example reinforcing that upstate New York, which once led the country in economic prosperity, continues to fall further behind while the rest of the state and nation make a slow but noticeable recovery from the Great Recession. And yet, we have one.

On its face, a Sept. 4 report by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli looks promising for New York state. The unemployment rate has fallen to 4.8 percent, the lowest in nine years, and a reported 9.1 million people were working in 2016, the highest number since 2009.

Buried amid the details is a stinging reality: Much of upstate New York is seeing these numbers as the result of a much smaller workforce, as more people drop out of the labor market or move out of the area.

Not surprisingly, the comptroller’s report found that New York City, the Hudson Valley and Capital region saw participation in the workforce increase in recent years. Meanwhile, Central New York, the North Country and Western New York have seen decreases. The Southern Tier region was hit hardest, with a drop of 8 percent.

The question remains: How much more of this can we take? The number of people who have moved out of New York since 2007 is expected to reach the 1 million mark later this year. While the number of immigrants and newborns have kept the statewide population relatively stable, the upstate region is rapidly hollowing out.

These are people who are leaving with their work ethic and skills, spending money and tax dollars. A sustained mass exodus like this will continue to hinder any kind of economic growth in communities across the region. And businesses closing or moving with no new ones to replace them will continue to create gaping holes in local budgets that many governments are already finding harder to fill.

We’re wandering further down a dangerous road. Even as the job market makes a slow comeback, the huge loss in skilled workers will provide less incentive for old businesses to stay and new ones to come or start up. The longer we’re in this cycle, the closer we get to the point of no return, let alone recovery.

That leaves us with another question: What is it going to take for our officials to realize that upstate needs economic revitalization now?

Enough with the flashy television com-

mercials chiming how “all around New York, the economy is growing.” Enough with the state politicians who come north of Poughkeepsie once a year with colorful lecterns to give a speech about how New York business is roaring back. Enough with all the noise. It’s time for some real action.

We need to find a system that works, and more importantly, stop pushing systems that have shown us that they don’t. Indeed, New York spends approximately $8 billion a year on job-creation programs — more than any other state — and yet the workforce upstate continues to decline.

A lot of that money has gone to initiatives that, in many cases, fell short of the job goals or have been tainted by corruption. For instance, the Empire Zones initiative, which operated between 2001 and 2010, was designed to attract new businesses and jobs into economical-

ly depressed areas. The program failed, as it ended up providing the benefits for companies but many of those companies didn’t return the favor by providing new jobs or investments.

Now we’re amid Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Start-Up NY job creation program, which provides 10-year tax breaks for companies and their employees if their operations are consolidated with a college, and was established in 2013 with the “lessons we learned from Empire Zones.” But after spending $53 million on advertising the initiative, it has created a mere 1,100 jobs in its first three years, much lower than expected. After each report of the program’s bad performance, state officials ask for patience, claiming the program is still maturing.

But it’s not working. And we don’t have the time to keep being patient. The thousands of people who are moving outof-state are a testament to that.

It’s time for our lawmakers to swallow their political pride and put an end to their rosy rhetoric about the upstate region. It’s time for some serious re-evaluation of the state’s economic development initiatives.

It’s time to admit that what works for Long Island might not work for Buffalo.

It’s time for experimentation with new formulas for job creation. It’s time for something that keeps people from moving away and convinces those still here that this area is more than just an industrial wasteland and drug overdose epicenter.

Common sense teaches us that when something isn’t working, it’s time to change our ways. But unfortunately, common sense in our state government is often not so common. Let’s hope that changes soon. If it doesn’t, upstate New York won’t just continue to fall behind. It will be left behind. SNT

ART

By Carl Mellor

FOUR ARTISTS HEED NATURE’S CALL Edgewood Gallery‘s current exhibit Nature Observed demonstrates how four artists working in different media portray nature, wildlife in particular, and human encounters with the natural world. The show is primarily but not exclusively realistic. Its strength is diverse media and the affection the artists have for their subjects.

Bob Ripley’s watercolor, “Survivors,” depicts a scene near St. Regis in the Adirondacks, focusing on several elements: a tall tree on water, clouds, an eagle, a man in a canoe. A second work, also on water, captures a fisherman casting what looks like a very, very long line.

Those pieces make up one aspect of Ripley’s work but don’t constitute a prototype. “No Fly Zone Purple Martins” builds its appeal on birds in the air, on a mix of moonlight, shadows and blue

water. “High Water Mark,” also set in the Adirondacks, documents a scene in a river stream, emphasizing small creatures and vegetation just below the surface.

And “On the South Branch” returns to water and fishing but also depicts a bridge located near Grafton, Vt. Alan Hart, who creates photorealistic acrylics, portrays various creatures, including a red-tailed hawk whose wings loom large, and a nicely detailed common loon gliding just above water. One artwork portraying a pleated woodpecker draws the viewer’s eye not only to the bird’s boring into the tree but also to ridges in the tree’s surface.

Elsewhere, the artist moves in a surrealistic direction with “African Epiphany” and in a different vein with “Linear Pushback,” which positions an antelope standing completely apart from a herd of bison. There’s no sense that the antelope is in the same physical space as the herd.

“Mandarin and Lotus” documents Hart’s use of colors and shadows.

He deals with species survival in “Extinct,” portraying the passenger pigeon, a bird no longer found on our planet, and pieces focusing on two types of snails from Hawaii that are listed as endangered.

Hart depicts the snails in fine detail, suggesting that nature encompasses both beautiful birds and very small creatures.

Steve Fland, a self-taught sculptor,

features several of his painted-wood sculptures. They depict a cattle egret, an American woodcock, a yellow crowned parrot seen in brilliant colors, and the three bob white quail birds sitting on a branch in “Late Riser.” Fland’s works amply document the artist’s commitment to making each sculpture as realistic as possible and to providing some sense of the bird’s habitat. Beyond that, the pieces are visually compelling, encouraging extended viewing.

Judi Witkin has worked with beaded jewelry for a long time, creating necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other pieces.

Her works at Edgewood reflect her ability to create distinctive designs full of striking color. Look for her pieces with a butterfly pattern.

Nature Observed samples artworks by a quartet, lets their different approaches stand as is, influences viewers to consider both that diversity and an expansive common subject, the realm of nature. It’s an interesting show on several levels.

The exhibition is on display through Sept. 22 at Edgewood Gallery, 216 Tecumseh Road. The venue is open Tuesdays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, consult edgewoodartandframe.com. SNT SNT

FLICKER FLASHBACKS

A condemned Syracuse house triggers movie memories of a silent-film actor and his extended family

By David Haas Since 1979, Montgomery County Community College history professor emeritus Joseph Eckhardt has been researching the history of the early silent movie industry in the Philadelphia area.

Eckhardt has been breathing life into the little-known history of the Betzwood Film Studios. According to Eckhardt, “In the early boom years of moviemaking, the world’s largest, most advanced film studio was located on the banks of the Schuylkill River in Montgomery County, Pa.” Last month, while researching the history behind 910 Onondaga Ave. for my Instagram account, @SyracuseHistory, I discovered one of the former owners was a man named Fred Grassman.

This discovery plunged me directly into the work of Eckhardt and the history of the early silent movie industry he has worked so hard to preserve.

Fred Grassman, born in Syracuse in 1859, was the son of German immigrants. A contractor and builder, Grassman operated in the Central New York area for more than 40 years. According to his obituary, among the many buildings he helped erect were the Snowden Apartments and St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Grassman grew up in a house on the corner of Peach and North West streets, near what is now West Belden Avenue, just outside of downtown, where I-81 now travels. He had several siblings, including an older brother, Dan Mason.

Born in 1853, Mason attended Prescott School on Willow Street, where his knack for comedy was immediately noticed.

As a child, Mason performed shows for his classmates in a brick barn behind the back of the building. He originally set out to be a pharmacist and began working at Kenyon & Potter’s drugstore on South Salina Street upon completing his education, but he couldn’t escape his true talent.

Mason began a stage career in 1872, initially performing in local vaudeville shows. Most noted was his role as “Rudolf” in a German dialect routine called “Adolf and Rudolf.”

Soon enough, Mason was making appearances in musicals and plays, both locally and on the road. He often wrote his own material, made his own costumes, and performed both short skits and full-length shows.

When he first began performing, he changed his last name from Grassman to Mason because “his mother was afraid the family would be scandalized and embarrassed by his appearance on the stage,” said Eckhardt.

Fortunately for him and his family, the truth was quite the opposite, but the new name stuck. As Dan Mason’s popularity grew, Syracuse embraced him as their native son and local newspapers celebrated his return each time he was home for a visit, often mentioning his original name.

Around 1910, Mason decided to explore the opportunities being offered by the newly forming movie industry. By 1912, he landed his first few movie roles, working for the Edison Motion Picture Company. According to the Betzwood Film Archives,

Mason played eccentric and character roles, established a reputation as a fine actor, and began extensive travel for his films.

Mason traveled from town to town on his rise to fame. “Perform, travel; perform, travel; perform, travel; that was Dan’s life.

It was exhausting for me to simply read about,” Eckhardt said.

By the time he arrived at the newly established Betzwood Film Studios in Montgomery County, Pa., in 1919, he was a seasoned veteran with decades of experience.

Mason had been cast as “Skipper” in the Betzwood Toonerville Trolley comedies, a movie version of the cartoon by Fontaine Fox. It was there, on the set of the Toonerville Trolley films, that Mason met Wilna Hervey, his 6-foot-3 co-star, who won the role of “The Powerful Katrinka,” thanks in part to her impressive size.

When filming started, Mason was just months removed from the death of his wife of 33 years, Millicent Page. Hervey, acting against her parents’ wishes, was relatively new to film.

The two struck up a unique friendship that positively contributed to both their emotional states and their onscreen chemistry.

In 1920, Dan sent for his daughter, Nan Mason, to join him in Pennsylvania. At the time, Nan was living in New York, alone, and agreed to keep her father company in a house near the studio.

Nan, a large woman as well, was introduced to Hervey and so began a relationship that would last a lifetime.

Eckhardt’s 2015 book, Living Large: Wilna Hervey and Nan Mason, is a dual biography highlighting the journey of Wilna and Nan as “one of America’s earliest out and proud same-sex couples.”

Seven years in the making, the book provides extensive details surrounding the couple’s life of adventures and their impressive careers as artists in the famed artist colony in Woodstock, where they ultimately moved together a few years after the abrupt end of the Toonerville series in 1921.

In the book, Eckhardt describes Mason’s adoration for Nan and Wilna, whom he called his “daughters.” “The relationship had his full blessing; either he was very progressive for his time, or he was clueless,” joked Eckhardt.

After the Toonerville series, Mason returned to California where he continued his career in the film industry. His IMDb

profile credits him with more than 130 films.

According to the letters acquired by Eckhardt, Mason would often write to his brother, Fred Grassman, in Syracuse, and ask him to “go check in on the girls” in Woodstock.

The girls and “Uncle Fred,” as they called him, often exchanged letters and visits as well. Eckhardt explains that in one visit, when Nan and Wilna were taking the train to Hollywood to see Dan, “they went by way of Syracuse and Fred and his wife were on the platform there just to see them for five minutes and give them a basket of goodies for the trip.”

Eckhardt added, “The girls were quite naive and notoriously mercurial and Dan took some comfort in knowing his brother was there to offer advice. Not that they always took it.”

By 1927, Mason’s health was worsening with age and the girls pleaded for him to retire and come live with them on their new farm, outside Woodstock, in Bearsville.

A frugal man, Mason had a good deal of money but hated wasting it, especially during the years after the Great Depression. His motto was, “Why buy something, if you can’t live in it or eat it.”

It was a marked contrast from Nan and Wilna’s travel-happy, whimsical lifestyle.

In 1928, while still in Hollywood, Mason contracted pneumonia. Unwilling to pay for a doctor, he decided to return to Syracuse to stay with his brother Fred at 910 Onondaga Ave. The local papers mistakenly reported he was home to perform.

Sadly, Grassman’s home quickly turned into a hospice. Unable to continue his vibrant existence, the ailing Mason stayed with his brother for nine months. “It was a grueling existence for a man always on the go,” said Eckhardt.

In 1929, Nan drove to Syracuse and brought her father to their Bearsville home. On July 6, 1929, Dan Mason died at age 76. He was buried in Hackensack Cemetery in New Jersey.

Mason’s obituary in the July 7, 1929, edition of the Syracuse Herald acknowledged his many accomplishments while “remaining always the same man”.

A quick visit to the Hackensack Cemetery by New Jersey native and Syracuse University student Molly Turnbull tells us that his tomb rests surprisingly unmarked in section H, plot 92, grave number 4.

Nan Mason and Wilna Hervey would go on to live astonishing lives full of love, friends and fun. They are respectfully known as the famous “Big Girls” in the Woodstock region. Their identical tombstones read, “Artist.”

Fred Grassman, who passed away two years after Dan, is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse.

Fred’s former home at 910 Onondaga Ave. remains but stands in ruins. The home is currently owned by the Greater

Syracuse Land Bank, a nonprofit created by the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County to address the problem of vacant, abandoned, or tax delinquent properties in Central New York. Structurally compromised and unfit for renovation or reoccupation, the home will be demolished this year.

I recently was able to access the home where Fred Grassman lived and Dan Mason spent many of his final days, a practice Eckhardt says has been doing for years. “I like to get as physically close to the people I write about,” he says. Eckhardt mentioned his recent travels to see where the girls lived, noting the abnormally high counter tops.

While the tangible connection to Syracuse’s Dan Mason and the famous artists from Woodstock will soon be lost, the story doesn’t need to end. Working on another book, this one dedicated to Dan, Eckhardt says, “I’ll have to do something with this Syracuse phenomenon. The story passes right through it.” SNT David Haas operates the Instagram account @SyracuseHistory and writes about Central New York’s historical legacies for his website Storycuse.com.

BIG LITTLE SHOWS KICK OFF FALL SEASON

U

nited only by their juxtaposition on the calendar, two shows running now are extraordinary celebrations of American wit. Once defined as “educated insolence,” wit implies brilliance of mind and quickness of insight, as opposed to mere humor, which can be flat-footed and obvious, like a Neil Simon gag.

What you get in Douglas Carter Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed (through Sept. 24 at the Redhouse Arts Center) and Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music (through Sept. 23 at Central New York Playhouse) is a gossamer lightning flash that illuminates character and moves action.

Given its critical raves and the Tony Award for lead Julie White, it’s surprising that it has taken 11 years for Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed to come to town. Then again, only two other Beane shows have made it to Central New York: As Bees in Honey Drown and Music from a Sparkling Plane.

The subject matter is inviting. Although outwardly a comedy about a hot young Hollywood leading man wanting to come out of the closet, the always barbed dialogue reaches more widely.

Like the disharmony of moving a property from stage to screen, the sacrifice of self in artistic collaboration, and the deep needs of mass audiences for popular culture.

Producing The Little Dog Laughed at the Redhouse comes from a harmonic convergence of the stars. Founding artistic director Laura Austin surely knew that her piquant and trenchant stage persona would make a perfect fit as Diane, the agent who knows better than her pretty boy client Mitchell (Max Emerson).

As life imitates art, Max Emerson wrote, directed and starred in

9.13.17 - 9.19.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

the indie film Hooked, which opened in Toronto in May. Also in that film is hunky Conor Donnally, who appears here as Alex, the rent boy who challenges Mitchell and Diane’s arrangements.

The film’s cast also includes, ahem, Laura Austin.

Little Dog begins with Diane, her raptor eyes gleaming, as she recounts the opening of the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s with Audrey Hepburn, dismissing with contempt Truman Capote’s novella on which it is based, and damning casting decisions made by director Blake Edwards. Austin makes it a bravura run. Only gradually do we realize how deeply she is revealing herself and that the speech is key to what The Little Dog Laughed is all about.

Playwright Beane, wrongly linked to contemporaries like Christopher Durang, is more like long-gone comedy-of-manners playwrights like Phillip Barry, only with saltier language. All his conceptions are off-center. Movie star Mitchell is too modest to bother with being a diva. Possible boyfriend Alex is a thief. And Alex’s girlfriend Ellen (Grace Allyn) is not free of the self-deception of show folk.

Making a welcome return in this superlatively staged comedy is director Vincent J. Cardinal, who holds an endowed chair at the University of Michigan.

Except for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, community theater groups are wary of producing Stephen Sondheim musicals, and the last local appearance of A Little Night Music was from Syracuse Opera two years ago.

This is one way of measuring the bravery — make that audacity — of the Central New York Playhouse for mounting this exquisite, bittersweet confection in the company’s intimate space at Shoppingtown Mall.

The moving force here is Abel Searor, one of the hardest-working performers around and certainly one of our most reliable aesthetes, who is music and stage director. His five-player orchestra, including Sarah Midgley’s plaintive clarinet, honors one of Sondheim’s best scores.

It’s mostly his show, augmented by choreographer Shannon Tompkins, who handles the quintet of Liam Fitzpatrick, Terri Kennedy, Leila Dean, Lauren Puente and Jonathan Fleischmanm, all dressed in costumes designed by Christina Huffaker.

A Little Night Music was “suggested by” movie director Ingmar Bergman’s biting 1955 satire, Smiles of a Summer Night, but with a vastly different and gentler tone. Middle-aged lawyer Fredrik (a world-weary Rob Searle) has not yet consummated his marriage to naïve child

bride Anne (Taylor Peck), when his old flame Desiree Armfeldt (Michaela Oney), an actress of a certain age, comes to town.

Alas, she already has a boyfriend, Count Carl-Magnus (Steve Gamba), a married blowhard in a ridiculous uniform. The count’s tart-tongued wife, Charlotte (Erin Sills), sees through every subterfuge and knows everything.

In a parallel plot, depressive, suicidal seminarian Henrik (Nic MacLane) is guiltily in love with the still-virginal wife Anne, but is given lessons in carnality from the cheerfully earthy servant girl Petra (Ceara Windhausen). In a cast with a surplus of female talent, Windhausen delivers the show’s second greatest number, “The Miller’s Son.” As charming as so much of the score is, such as the quintet’s “Remember?” or “Weekend in the Country,” the makeit-or-break-it number is “Send in the Clowns,” one of the greatest songs in the American musical theater. Michaela Oney, a reliable, often hilarious character performer (Mama Morton in Chicago) is not the Desiree from central casting. But Searor knows what he is doing. Oney’s “Clowns” is all the more affecting for being unanticipated. Oney will be cast in different roles now. SNT

RONNIE

LEIGH

Local jazz favorite will be honored this week during Jazz-N-Caz

By Jessica Novak Local jazz legend Ronnie Leigh will be honored during the 16th annual Jazz-N-Caz festivities to be held this week in Cazenovia. On Friday, Sept. 15, Leigh’s legacy will be feted during the 7:30 p.m. program at Cazenovia College’s Catherine Cummings Theatre, 22 Lincklaen St., which will feature music

by Soda Ash Six, Harry Allen and Nancy Kelly.

Not only is Leigh known for his stage presence and ability on the microphone, he also founded and serves as the artistic director for the summertime Jazz in the City series. The five-time Syracuse Area Music Award (Sammy) winner has performed from Seattle to Syracuse, and from New York City to Istanbul.

After four decades of performances, Leigh is still singing, playing and traveling. “I’m planning things and just trying to keep moving forward,” he says.

Despite the accolades, accomplishments, collaborations and commendations, Leigh still remains down to earth and thankful for his fans. And his musical beginnings are as endearing as they come.

Leigh was born in Albany, then moved to Syracuse when he was about 18 and got a job with the New York state canal system. During every Friday happy hour at the Thor Lounge on South Salina Street near the former Sears Roebuck building, Leigh listened to the house band week after week.

“Finally I worked up the nerve to ask if I could sing a song,” he recalls. “I talked to the bandleader, the drummer, and he said,

12

9.13.17 - 9.19.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

‘Sure, man! Come up here!’ I’ll never forget the first song I sang: ‘Misty.’ The audience appreciated it and the band loved it, so they said, ‘You wanna sing another song?’”

Leigh only knew a couple tunes, but after he sang “The Girl from Ipanema,” the band was impressed, despite the fact that he didn’t know what key he sang it in. “They asked me what key and I said, ‘Whatever’s on the jukebox.’” The band offered him a job on the spot and he made “a whole $25 a gig.”

From there, offers steadily rolled in, as Leigh became involved with several successful projects over the years, including Alliance and Atlas Linen Company. Singing with the band Sail brought him across the country, as the group worked with two booking agents, one in Chicago and another out of Rhode Island.

Yet it was never a conscious decision for Leigh to be a working musician. Rather, it was an urge that couldn’t be fought.

“I tried to quit once and I lasted two weeks,” he says. “The first week was heavenly and then the depression set in. I didn’t know what was going on with me. I thought I was losing my mind or something, for real. The following weekend, I went out and sang a few tunes with a band and felt so much better. Relief. I thought, ‘I think I have to do this.’ And that was that.”

Despite his efforts to “conform” or live a “so-called normal life,” Leigh continued performing and following his art. “That helped me to be where I am today,” he says.

Leigh also grabbed opportunities that came his way. “A friend

of mine, drummer Wilby Fletcher, happened to be in Istanbul working at a club there,” Leigh says. “I got a phone call from him one day. My September was packed, but Wilby said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m pretty busy.’ And he said, ‘Well, would you come to Turkey?’”

Fletcher put the club owner on the phone with Leigh and a few minutes later he was organizing stateside replacements for himself. “It worked out nicely,” Leigh says. “I got folks I thought who would do a job as well as I would try to do and hopefully better, and I ended up in Istanbul.”

Fletcher left Istanbul a few days later, leaving Leigh to enjoy a new country surrounded by strangers. “The bass player and piano player were from Philly, the drummer was from Brazil, the trombone player from Sweden,” he recalls. “And it was a smokin’ hot band. It was great.”

Leigh stayed in Istanbul for a month and a half in 1998 and has continued traveling since. Every winter he tries to book performances in warmer weather locations, while continuing to perform with groups like Rochester’s Prime Time Funk.

But Leigh is hard-pressed to pick a favorite time period or show from his career. After all, his resume bulges with guest appearances alongside The Drifters, Pat Metheny, The Yellowjackets, David Benoit, Special EFX, Spyro Gyra, David Sanborn, Etta Jones, the Syracuse orchestra and more. Instead, he’s grateful that he can still do it at all.

“I’m the kind of person who thinks, ‘Thank God I can get up and do it again tomorrow,’” Leigh says. “It’s all been great stuff,

all been fabulous. And thanks to the folks at Jazz-N-Caz for even considering me. I’m really grateful and really flipped out. I do what I do and I’m happy I can do what I do. I just hope people like it.

“And I hope folks around the Syracuse area can find a way to support the musicians and the music that’s here. I’ve had the opportunity to travel a lot of places, and this is pretty high-quality stuff here. There’s a spirit here that a lot of musicians have.

Don’t let this place go by the wayside: There’s great talent and we need to support it.” SNT

The 16th annual Jazz-N-Caz will offer musical performances in three Cazenovia venues. Dave Hanlon’s Funky Jazz Band will kick off the concert slate on Thursday, Sept. 14, 7:30 p.m., on the lawn of the Brae Loch Inn, 5 Albany St. Soda Ash Six will take the stage on Friday, Sept. 15, 7:30 p.m., at the Catherine Cummings Theatre, 22 Lincklaen St., followed by an 8:30 p.m. set featuring Harry Allen with Nancy Kelly and her trio, featuring Dino Losito, Tom Brigandi and Jimmy Johns. Ronnie Leigh will be honored during this performance. The Seven Stone Steps at the Lincklaen House, 79 Albany St., will host a 10:30 p.m.

Jazz After Hours session with Tom Witkowski, Jason Jeffers and Adam Fisher.

Performances featuring Peter Cincotti and the Jimmy Van Heusen Jazz Break will begin the music on Saturday, Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m., at the Catherine Cummings Theatre. The jazz continues at 8:30 p.m. at the theater with Evan Christopher’s Clarinet Road, featuring Jon-Erik Kellso, Mark Shane, Pat O’Leary and James Chirillo. A final Jazz After Hours event takes place at the Seven Stone Steps, with Witkowski, Jeffers and Fisher gigging at 10:30 p.m.

All Jazz-N-Caz events are free, but a $10 donation is suggested. For more information, contact Colleen Prossner, (315) 655-7238, or cprossner@ cazenovia.edu.

Advice from the Artist:

“Get a day gig. (Laughs.) No! I just think they need to be true to their own spirit, to themselves. Be true. If you believe it, go do it. And learn something about the business. Find out how to do business. Get a book on small business, take a course, anything. It applies directly to what we do.”

Much like a shark in constant movement, Verona’s Turning Stone Resort and Casino always seems to be updating its dining components. Indeed, the property could host a game show contest just from guessing its previous tenants. For $100, what was the name of the former restaurant that is now known as the Upstate Tavern?

Answer: Rodizio Churrascaria, the one-time Brazilian steakhouse near the Event Center.

So it was only a matter of time before the Corner Market, a gaggle of fast-casual dining selections near the Exit 33 nightclubs, was due for some upgrades after an eight-year run. For $500, what was previously in that location? Answer: an early incarnation of the resort’s buffet.

The Corner Market shuttered last autumn to undergo renovations for three months, eventually reopening before New Year’s Day as the Food Hall, with new tables that seat 272, bright lighting decorations and a six-pack of newly christened munching pit stops: Bad Burro Taco Shop, the hamburger-oriented Bun Heaven, Hong Kong Kitchen, Sam’s Delicatessen, the Funky Chicken and Wicked Good Pizza.

Ron Ross, executive chef for Turning Stone’s food and beverage operations, has been in charge of the venue’s dining choices, including Wildflowers, TS Steakhouse, Tin Rooster, Pino Bianco and Upstate Tavern, since January 2015. “Everything changed for the better,” Ross said about the extensive makeover for the Food Hall, with a “lot of research and customer feedback” conducted to gauge consumer demand.

Among the equipment upgrades, Ross emphasized the addition

9.13.17 - 9.19.17 | syracusenewtimes.com

of two Henny Penny pressure fryers in the Funky Chicken kitchen to ensure that moisture stays inside the bird for a juicy, yet still crispy taste.

Yet pricing and value also mattered in creating the Food Hall’s menus. “We offer great products at a low price,” Ross declared. He noted that aside from the resort’s casino patrons and overnight guests, some customers often park near the Exit 33 lots so they can zip in and out of the Food Hall for takeout purchases.

Prices are comparable to similar menu items at major fast-casual eateries. A cheeseburger and fries is $8 at Bun Heaven, while a thick milkshake is $4. (More than 900 shakes move weekly at Bun Heaven.) Hong Kong Kitchen offers an $8 General Tso’s Chicken entrée with rice and egg roll. A club sandwich with chips and a pickle costs $10 at Sam’s Delicatessen. A three-piece chicken platter with one side fetches $8.50 at the Funky Chicken. A steak quesadilla is available for $9 at the Bad Burro Taco Shop. And at Wicked Good Pizza, a pepperoni pie goes for $16, or $3 per slice.

The Food Hall’s hours are Sundays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to midnight. Bun Heaven is open later on Fridays and Saturdays until 3 a.m., while Wicked Good Pizza stays up until 3 a.m. Saturdays. “Burgers and pizza are what people want late at night,” Ross admitted.

In fact, those two mealtime mainstays will be among the menu items at Point Place Casino, the Turning Stone’s new spinoff location slated to open next spring in Bridgeport. For $1,000, can you guess the name of one bun-happy restaurant at Point Place?

Answer: The Burgers of Madison County. SNT

Trinity is a beautiful tortie who was dropped off on one of the most humid hot days we had this summer.

Left in a carrier, in the hot sun, sitting on a hot concrete slab, this girl was found frantically seeking her kittens she had somewhere out there. she was a nursing mom when she was left here at our door. After a bath and a long drink of cool water and a few days of extreme stress due to her missing her young, Trinity settled down. She is a sweetheart and she will make a wonderful companion. Trinity quickly won our hearts and we want to see her go to a good home. Lets turn this story into a beautiful ever-after for her! Stop in and ask to meet Trinity today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Simpsons

is an animated sitcom that will soon begin its 29th consecutive year on TV. During its run, it has told more than 600 stories. The creators of another animated sitcom, South Park, once did an episode entitled “Simpsons Already Did It,” which referenced their feelings that it was hard to come up with new tales because their rival had already used so many good ones. I bring this up, Taurus, because I suspect your life story will soon be spinning out novel plots that have never before been seen, not even on The Simpsons or South Park. You could and should be the Best Storyteller of the Month.

pictured prominently on Australia’s coat of arms: the kangaroo and the large flightless bird known as the emu. One of the reasons they were chosen is that both creatures rarely walk backward. They move forward or not at all. Australia’s founders wanted this to symbolize the nation’s pledge to never look back, to remain focused on advancing toward the future. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make a similar commitment, Aries. Is there a new symbol you might adopt to inspire your intention?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Love won’t exactly be free in the coming weeks, but there should be some good deals. And I’m not referring to risky black-market stuff obtained in back alleys, either. I mean straightforward liaisons and intriguing intimacy at a reasonable cost.

So if you’re comfortably mated, I suggest you invest in a campaign to bring more comedy and adventure into your collaborative efforts.

If you’re single, wipe that love-starved look off your face and do some exuberant window-shopping. If you’re neither comfortably mated nor single, money may temporarily be able to buy you a bit more happiness.

REAL PEOPLE REAL DESIRE REAL FUN.

you

of your fate reminds me of the sweet confusion alluded to in Octavio Paz’s poem “Between Going and Staying”: “All is visible and elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.” For another clue to the raw truth of your life right now, I’ll quote the poet William Wordsworth. He spoke of “fleeting moods of shadowy exultation.” Is the aura described by Paz and Wordsworth a problem that you should try to fix? Is it detrimental to your heroic quest? I don’t think do. Just the opposite, really: I hope you can hang out for a while in this pregnant mystery -- between the yes and the no, between the dark and the light, between the dream and the reality. It will help you learn what you’ve been too restless to tune in to in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The imminent future

will be a favorable time for refurbished models and revived originals. They are likely to be more fun and interesting the second time around. I suspect that this will also be an auspicious phase for substitutes and alternatives.

They may even turn out to be better than the so-called real things they replace. So be artful in formulating Plan B and Plan C, Leo. Switching over to backups may ultimately bring out more of the best in you and whisk you toward your ultimate goal in unexpected ways.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing. I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “Dear Dr. Astrology: I’m feeling lost, but am also feeling very close to finding my new direction. It hurts! It would

be so helpful if I could just catch a glimpse of that new direction. I’d be able to better endure the pain and confusion if I could get a tangible sense of the future happiness that my pain and confusion are preparing me for. Can you offer me any free advice? Signed, Lost Libra.”

Dear Libra: The pain and confusion come from the dying of the old ways. They need to die a bit more before the new direction will reveal itself clearly. I predict that will happen soon -no later than Oct. 1.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Welcome to “Compose Your Own Oracle,” a special edition of Free Will Astrology. Departing from tradition, I’m temporarily stepping aside so you can have the freedom to write the exact horoscope you want. Normally, you might be in danger of falling victim to presumptuous arrogance if you imagined you could wield complete control over how your destiny unfolds. But in the days ahead, that rule won’t be as unyielding, because cosmic forces will be giving you more slack than usual. Fate and karma, which frequently impel you to act according to patterns that were set in place long ago, are giving you at least a partial respite. To get the maximum benefit out of “Compose Your Own Oracle,” identify three plot developments you’d like to weave into a self-fulfilling prophecy for your immediate future. Then start weaving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Almost two-thirds of us confess that if we are alone, we might sip milk directly from the carton rather than first pouring it into a glass. Fourteen percent of us have used milk as part of our sexual activities. One out of every five of us admit that we have “borrowed” someone else’s milk from the fridge at work. Most shockingly, 4 percent of us brag that we have blown milk out our noses on purpose. I expect that in the next two weeks, you Sagittarians will exceed all these norms. Not just because you’ll be in the mood to engage in mischievous experiments and playful adventures with milk, but because you’re likely to have a loosey-goosey relationship with almost everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The coming weeks will an excellent time for you to raise funds in support of political prisoners, or to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or to donate blood at a blood bank. In fact, any charitable service you perform for people you don’t know will be excellent for your physical and mental health.

You can also generate vivid blessings for yourself by being extra-thoughtful, kind and generous toward people you care for. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when unselfish acts will yield maximum selfish benefits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In his 1906

novel The Jungle, muckraker Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) exposed the abominable hygiene and working conditions of the meat-packing industry. The uproar that followed led to corrective legislation by the U.S. Congress. Sinclair remained devoted to serving the public good throughout his career. He liked to say that the term “social justice” was inscribed on his heart.

Drawing from his inspiration, Aquarius, I suggest you decide what your soul’s main motto is -- and imagine that it is written on your heart. Now is a perfect time to clarify your life’s purpose, and intensify your commitment to it; to devote even more practical, tender zeal to fulfilling the reason you were born.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know that

“patch of bothersome weeds” growing right in the middle of your life? Is it really a patch of bothersome weeds? Or is it perhaps a plot of cultivated blooms that once pleased you but has now turned into a puzzling irrelevancy? Or how about this possibility: Is it a chunk of languishing beauty that might flourish and please you again if it were cared for better? Those are excellent questions for you to pose in the coming days, Pisces. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to decide on the future of this quizzical presence.
