Cover story

Out of the darkness

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Clean Slate Diariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recognizes, honors courage of rape and assault survivors Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;pink,â&#x20AC;? and what comes to mind?

Breast cancer awareness?

How about yellow? Bone cancer, or endometriosis. Or suicide. Or soldier support.

Red? AIDS. Puzzle pieces? Autism.

But for survivors of rape, sexual assault and incest, there is no awareness campaign of any hue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized there are no medals given or color-coded products sold to recognize the intense courage and fierce determination required to overcome the trauma that remains from these crimes,â&#x20AC;? says Renee DeVesty, CNY outreach director for Camp Good Days & Special Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I decided to produce an event that would bring light and healing to their path.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Clean Slate Diaries,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; will recognize and honor victims of rape, incest and domestic violence through live music, art, dance and the spoken word from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday April 23 at the May Memorial Unitarian Church, 3800 E. Genesee St. in DeWitt.

Maren Guse, 24, an information management graduate student at SU, has worked with DeVesty and participating survivors to create a video of survivor stories for the event. An exhibit of artwork created by survivors will be unveiled that night, too.

While there are resources and events for survivors in Syracuse, The Clean Slate Diaries is unique in its approach of specifically honoring survivors in the community, DeVesty

says.

The gathering will bring together survivors and supporters in a big, vocal way to draw attention to a particularly gruesome topic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue that most people are uncomfortable talking about, so Renee DeVesty is now a they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t -- and wife and mother, passionthatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the point. ate about helping other â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most rape, incest, domestic and survivors come to terms with intimate partner their experiences. abuse and violence takes place because of the silencing effect it has on victims,â&#x20AC;? DeVesty says.

Reneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story

DeVesty was 19 years old when she was raped by two male friends while overnight at a lakeshore camp in Central New York.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, the most difficult part was the psychological damage this did to me... I suffered far too long, for all the wrong reasons.â&#x20AC;?

As is the case for rape and sexual abuse survivors, DeVestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trauma didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end with the assault. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end when she realized she was pregnant as a result of the rape, or when she decided (â&#x20AC;&#x153;regretfully,â&#x20AC;? she says) to terminate the pregnancy. The psychological damage from the incident drove her to years of alcoholism, abusive relationships, debt, an eating disorder and, finally, to seek counseling to accept what had been done to her and the subsequent decisions she had made.

Twelve years passed before DeVesty, at 31, began to heal psychologically from the rape, and even that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the end. It was a long, difficult journey that required years of counseling and professional support, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, the most difficult part was the psychological damage this did to me,â&#x20AC;? DeVesty says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thought process is so poisonous -- the shame, the guilt, the fear, the silence. It all feeds into this punishment that I inflicted on myself for years and years, believing no one would understand, no one would believe me -- thinking I had to keep this ugliness secret or I would never be loved. I suffered far too long for all the wrong reasons.â&#x20AC;?

DeVesty says she eventually found a genuine sense of serenity, and was encouraged by a friend to pass her healing experience on to others.

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. The first time she told her story, she trembled, wrapping her foot around the stool for stability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end, a young woman came up to me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I wish my best friend heard your story, maybe she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have killed â&#x2013;ˇ

herself,’” DeVesty recalls. “That is why I speak now, and will continue to share my story.”

For survivors, by a survivor

Jolie Scarantino, a victim advocate at Vera House, said The Clean Slate Diaries is the first example she’s seen of a program organized for survivors, by a survivor.

The Clean Slate Diaries was organized to show survivors they’re not alone in what they may be experiencing, while also bringing awareness to the community that this stuff is really happening, Scarantino says.

Awareness events typically are geared toward people who haven’t experienced sexual or domestic abuse, while resources for survivors group them with other survivors.

DeVesty’s event will bring those two groups together.

“The great thing about this program is that she’s openly inviting people who support the cause to participate in the event,” alongside survivors, Scarantino

Every 2 minutes, On average, reading a person is sexually assaulted in the US.

said.

On average, Vera House works with more than 700 sexual assault victims annually.

The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network estimates that less than half of reported rapes result in a prison sentence for the rapist.

Factoring in that 60 percent of rapes are never reported, RAINN contends that as of 1999, 15 of every 16 rapists walk free.

In spite of the shame, fear and guilt many rape survivors experience, DeVesty said she didn’t have much trouble finding survivors willing to contribute to The Clean Slate Diaries.

experiences – friends, colleagues and strangers have come forward to share their stories, she says.

“I never realized, and never before could have imagined, just how many people have been touched by sexual violence and how there is truly a veil of silence around it,” says Guse.

The Clean Slate Diaries event is free and open to all survivors of rape, sexual assault and incest, and to those who support them. To learn more about the event visit facebook.com/cleanslatediaries.

TALES AND TOYS

Pay attention: Know where you are, remain alert and make eye contact with other people. Don’t allow for the element of surprise, something people often rely on when committing an assault.

Drink smart: Only accept drinks from the bartender or server or open cans and bottles yourself, don’t finish drinks that have been out of your sight, and don’t drink so much you can’t remain alert (see above).

Buddy up: Stick with a friend at a party or in a crowd, when you’re with another person you are considerably less vulnerable to an assault.

Be a big mouth: Going on a first date? To a party at a new place? Tell someone where you are going, who you are going with, and when you expect to return.

Downtown After Dark

Death donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have no mercyâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magnificent Sevenâ&#x20AC;? lit up the silver screen in 1960. The panoramic Western starred Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen as leaders of a posse of hired gunmen protecting a Mexican village from banditos.

Less than 10 years later, seven Syracuse rock musicians decided to use the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title as the name of their new combo.

The Magnificent Seven became one of the most popular bands in CNY. The septet, which deftly blended rock, funk, jazz and psychedelic sounds, featured Chuck Wheeler, Chuck Sgroi, Al Ruscito, Frank Sgroi, Tony Licamele, Nicky Russo and Chuck Mellone. As the Hammond B3 player, Melloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music drove the hot-wired band.

Chuck Mellone died April 7, in Malibu, Calif.

He was 68.

Drummer Nick Russo predeceased his former bandmate on Oct. 1, 2010. He was 69.

Tossed from Twisters

In 1958, Mellone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who played accordion at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his guitarist friend Sam Amato formed a band called The Twisters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked Chuck Mellone into investing money into a unit called an accorgan,â&#x20AC;? Amato once recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an accordion but when you played it, it sounded like an organ.â&#x20AC;?

When Mellone balked at playing the accorgan rather than his usual axe, Amato ended their relationship and changed the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to Sam & The Twisters.

Coincidentally, Amato died Feb. 17, in Florida, at age 69.

While Amatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combo went on to make Syracuse rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;roll history, Mellone did as well.

He played keyboards with Don Barber and the Dukes before joining the Magnificent Seven, which soon morphed into The Seven.

B3 Brahmin

Syracuse Hammond B3 player Michael Davis remembers Mellone as a magician with the organ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the one who told me the secret of how to take my mellow-sounding stock B-3 and unleash the screaming, soulful sound that was locked in the instrument.â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a simple modification done with just a screwdriver adjusting a trim capacitor on the organâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-amp. Chuck Mellone knew all the tricks.

His B-3 and Leslie cabinets sounded better than anybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

As an audio engineer, Mellone helped WCNY-FM make its debut on Dec. 4, 1971. A few years later, Mellone moved to Los Angeles to become a studio engineer for A&M Records.

In California, he worked with artists such as Hoyt Axton, Glen Campbell and New Riders and the Purple Sage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuck was a master sound technician and a master musician,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

Music and meat man Syracuse bandleader Jack Kreischer, whose orchestra was a mainstay at Hotel Syracuse for decades, died here March 30.

He was 91. Kreischer also ran a successful meat market on South Salina Street.

He began his professional career in the 1930s, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for more than a half-century â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his orchestras entertained thousands of CNYers. In his last years as a resident of The Nottingham he enjoyed playing requests on his saxophone for his fellow residents.

Former Hotel Syracuse food and beverage manager Van Sterio recalls hiring Kreischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combos and buying his meat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shared many fond memories with Jack as a purveyor and musician while working with him at the Hotel Syracuse and our restaurant,â&#x20AC;?

The 1970 LP from The Seven, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The song is SONG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Album is ALBUMâ&#x20AC;? on Thunderbird Records.

Sterio remembered.

Drummer Larry Luttinger, now executive director of downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CNY Jazz Central, once played in Kreischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orchestra, and he also reflected on the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dual vocations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack was a great bandleader and friend,â&#x20AC;?

Luttinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember the dates I played with his great combo, including the great Mack McKaig on piano. There was always a roast beef sandwich for the band in the kitchen of every club he played. What a coincidence!â&#x20AC;?

The Seven truly was magnificent. Their wall of sound could knock over a semi-truck, and their vocals rang out clearly, pitch-perfect and carefully harmonized. At clubs like Hewittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and The Brookside and at countless scholastic dances, they dished out rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; versions of songs like The Zombiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1965 hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell Her No,â&#x20AC;?

Curious kids want your opinion What do you like about Syracuse? What do you want to be? What should we do with the abandoned houses? Why smoke?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell us, tell the SU architecture students urging community members to text, tweet or email answers to the inquiries through April 17, to create a dialoge about and within the city.

Students in Syracuse University School of Architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spatial ConTXTâ&#x20AC;? class, taught

by Assistant Professor Anda French, installed brightly colored vinyl signs in four locations, posing the one question in each location and encouraging feedback from passersby.

The questions for the signs were developed during a workshop held last spring where Syracuse University students asked seventhand eighth-graders at The Roberts School what issues were important to them regarding the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Look for signs in Armory Square, White Memorial Building, and parks at South Warren and East Fayette streets, and Westcott and South Beech streets.

On May 4, a compilation of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses to the questions will be on display for the public via video projection on the Everson Museum exterior. Answer a question and receive an auto-invitation to the projection.

Chiefs off to fast start with three quick road wins

By Russ Tarby So far, so good!

The Syracuse Chiefs opened their 2011 season last Thursday in Western New York by beating the Buffalo Bisons, 8-5, at Coca-Cola Field. Led by new manager Randy Knorr, the Chiefs continued to play good baseball all weekend.

By Sunday evening Syracuse was 3-1 and riding high atop the International League’s North Division.

The club’s first loss came Friday night in extra innings against the Bisons, after reliever Matt Chico tossed a wild pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 13th.

But the long night’s work had its bright spots. Starter Ross Detwiler sparkled in his first game of 2011 for the Chiefs. The lefty allowed just four hits and one run over six

innings, striking out eight while walking only one. Syracuse’s bullpen turned in its second straight door-slamming performance, combining for six innings of five-hit, two-run ball.

J.D. Martin shined in relief with four shutout innings, allowing only one hit.

The hero of Thursday’s season opener was second baseman Seth Bynum who smacked a three-run homer and a two-run double for a gamehigh five RBIs. Re-

syracuse chiefs

Second baseman Seth Bynum hit a home run and a double in the Chiefs first game of the season, an 8-5 victory over the Buffalo Bisons.

liever Cole Kimball collected the win in his Chiefs debut.

Catcher Jesus Flores drove in Boomer Whiting for the game’s first run with a single to center, followed by a towering three-run drive by Bynum down the left field line.

On Saturday, the Chiefs traveled to Allentown, Pa., to face the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs in another extra-inning game. Syracuse scored the winning run in the tenth when Jeff Frazier banged in Whiting from second to make it 2-1. Whiting had walked and advanced to second on a throwing error by pitcher Michael Stutes, then scored on Frazier’s sharp single to right. Kimball saved his first Triple-A game with a scoreless tenth inning. The right-hander notched a win and a save in his first two Syracuse appearances.

Another young Chiefs pitcher made quite an impression on Sunday against the Iron Pigs.

Tom Milone, the Washington Nationals’ 2010 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, threw seven shutout innings in his first-ever TripleA start. The Saugus, Calif. southpaw allowed just five hits, walked none and struck out four on his way to a 2-0 victory.

The Chiefs open their home season at Alliance Bank Stadium at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, against the Pawtucket Red Sox. The series continues at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 14, 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 16.

Alliance Bank Stadium is on the North Side, just east of the Regional Market. Fieldlevel ticket prices range from $9 to $20, while upper-deck seats cost $8, and $4 for kids and seniors.

The stadium parking fee has increased to $5 per vehicle; 474-7833; syracusechiefs. com.

Piedmont blues picker

Acoustic blues guitarist Paul Geremia returns to Syracuse at 8 p.m. Friday, April 15, at May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church, 3800 East Genesee St. Born in Rhode Island, Geremia has immersed himself in various styles of country blues since the mid-1960s when he was inspired by bluesmen such as Son House, Skip James and Pink Anderson. He was drawn to the driving Piedmont style that joined thumping bass lines to swinging ragtime melodies, but he’s equally adept at the deeply emotional Delta blues. His most recent CD is called “Love, Murder and Mosquitos.”

Presented by the Folkus Project, the concert costs $15; folkus.org or 657-4982.

Jazz piece promotes peace

Tenor and soprano saxophonist Dave Liebman, who previously worked with Miles Davis, guests with the CNY Jazz Orchestra for the world premiere of a composition by the orchestra’s music director, Bret Zvacek, at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at the Carrier Theater in the Mulroy Civic Center, 411 Montgomery St., Syracuse.

Zvacek’s multi-movement long-form piece for woodwind soloist and jazz orchestra incorporates material from both Jewish and Arabic traditions, in order to explore and resolve them. It was commissioned to be part of “Conflict: Peace and War,” the 2010 Syracuse Symposium, Syracuse University’s annual intellectual and artistic festival.

Tickets cost $27.50, $24.50 and $19.50, but there is a $5 discount for CNYJC donors and students; 479-JAZZ.

Viewpoints Our view

We support the survivors

Let’s not dance around it: we addressed a very heavy topic this week in our cover story (on page 3).

When we first heard about The Clean Slate Diaries, we knew the concept was unusual. The idea is different from the typical fundraising and awareness events -- the 5K run/walks, the $120-plate galas, the ribbon sales, etc.

Naturally, we wanted to know more about the event, the organizers, the goals.

That’s how we learned about Renee DeVesty’s personal struggle with the physical and psychological trauma of rape.

Did you have the same reaction we did?

Did you want to turn away, find something more pleasant to read? Did you get cold chills, too?

We knew Renee’s story deserved to be told because it was a story that, frankly, we didn’t want to hear.

It made us uncomfortable.

It made us sick.

It made us question why we treat victims of these crimes the way we do, and how we could help in creating a dialogue about a topic that nobody truly wants to talk about.

The Clean Slate Diaries will bring together survivors of rape, sexual assault and incest with the community members who support them in their struggle to regain a sense of self-worth and purpose and overcome the fear and shame. Instead of dividing “the afflicted” and “the charitable” into separate groups, this event introduces the two. It gives each side an identity beyond their label.

That’s a start. It won’t be easy; as the Vera House’s Jolie Scarantino agreed, it won’t happen overnight.

But when we come up against a topic that almost noboby wants to openly talk about, our first question should be, “why?”

We don’t want to talk about it because of what it says about us, as a community, that these things can to happen. But talking about it will help break down the fear, guilt and shame that survivors of rape, sexual assault and incest feel. Take away the fear, and survivors will be more willing to report their attackers.

If we can increase the likelihood of being reported, we can reduce the occurrances of these types of crimes.

Say Yes to trash….

Most property owners in Syracuse are responsible people, picking up after themselves and disposing of trash, construction debris, yard waste, etc. But in every neighborhood there seems to be a “problem property” infecting the entire block with blight. These conditions make prospective homebuyers run to the ‘burbs while resident city homeowners close their wallets to any future home improvements.

Why? “No one wants to live here anyway,” they sigh, and the cycle continues.

On the far west end where I live there are several properties that fit the definition of urban blight. Directly across the street is a lot that the neighbors call the “West End Junk Yard,” complete with old unregistered vehicles, trailers, chairs, tires and foliage that has to be cut back every few months during the summer.

Usually, it’s the City of Syracuse doing the honors and taking a few hours to clear

Ken

a private citizen’s lot. And at times there’s a City of Jackson Syracuse registered vehicle parked in front.

During the summer months we look forward to our vehicles getting scraped by the numerous bushes, shrubs and small trees that protrude from their encampment. At night the area looks so dangerous and forbidden that foot traffic grinds to a halt.

Speaking especially to women who walk alone: don’t use my street after dark you could be dragged into the junkyard and never be heard from again.

Couple the above with periodicallymissed Blue Bin recycling pickups and it makes you wonder exactly what this city wants prospective new residents to “Say Yes” to?

What you’re saying We asked readers: Should the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra be allowed to keep donations made during the “Keep the music playing” fundraising campaign, now that the SSO has shut down?

Here’s what you had to say:

“

If the music isn’t playing anymore I don’t see why they would keep the money.

I’d like to see them donate the money to an organization that is providing music programs in schools. That’s keeping the music playing!”

- Gina Colonette, intern, The Eagle

“

Why not set up a fund for young, talented musicians that are struggling? I have two kids that are musicians, and I can tell you that many of their musician friends struggle financially.”

- Scott Makarchuk, co-owner, Books and Memories

“

I just want to know where the money is going.”

- Tami Zimmerman, editor, Eagle Bulletin

“

I think all people in charge should be fired, and they themselves be responsible for paying back all monies. SSO is a business. If it was anyone else in their position, we would be fired. Period. It is so ‘easy’ to declare bankruptcy and make a ‘clean’ break as if nothing has happened, and walk away bearing no scars for what they have caused.

I feel bad for the musicians, and the fans, but not for the (mis)management.”

- Brian Bullard, Liverpool

Here is next week’s question: What are your questions or concerns about the proposed 2011-12 Syracuse city budget?

“What you’re saying” is intended to spark dialoge and share perspectives among community members.

ome & GardeN Deadly pest identified in Western New York Protect your trees from the Emerald Ash Borer

For local ash trees, the arrival of a devastating pest in Western and parts of Central New York is very bad news.

The Emerald Ash Borer has been an unwelcome guest in the United States for several years, but until recently it had not been found in our area. Unfortunately, all that’s changed and the beautiful ash

trees that shade our neighborhoods and line our streets are now in danger.

Recently, various media have shared the ramifications of Emerald Ash Borers on local ash trees. In their larval stage, these beetles bore into trees causing thinning of the tree canopy and branch dieback. While it is true that in

most cases infested trees die after three to four years, residents should not give up hope for their trees.

Significant research has and is currently being conducted to yield treatment options. In Michigan, where it’s suspected that the borer has been present for over five years, a study

by Michigan State University has proven that there are valid treatments. Tests indicate that although severely infested trees typically cannot be saved,

It’s fix-up time

By Waded Gonzalez-Candelaria, public health educator Are you thinking about fixing up the old homestead? Are you planning on doing the project on your own or hiring someone to do it for you? Was your home built before 1978? If it was, it may contain lead paint.

When lead paint is disturbed during remodeling, dangerous lead dust is created.

Young children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from exposure to lead dust, but anyone can become lead poisoned.

The Onondaga County Health Department Lead Poisoning Control Program would like you to consider the following questions before you start your project: Was the house built before 1978?

Will you be disturbing the paint?

Have you had the paint tested to see if it is lead paint?

What safety precautions will you or your contractor/handyman take to protect yourself and your children from exposure to hazardous lead dust? The most important thing to consider when remodeling is controlling the lead dust. You can do this by following these tips: Work smart To keep paint chips and dust contained,

work in one area at a time; enclose the work area using heavy plastic (6 mil); Keep pregnant women and children out of the work area; Protect yourself by washing your hands and eating or drinking outside the work area; Wear a protective mask to prevent inhaling lead dust.

Work wet Avoid creating lead dust by using a spray bottle to wet an area to be sanded or scraped Work clean Clean up daily. Don’t allow anyone into the work area until the daily cleanup is complete Learn more about working safely with lead paint.

attacks on healthy trees can be prevented.

Locally, leading tree care provider Bartlett Tree Experts is working to preserve trees and help educate property owners on this pest. “It is extremely important that residents understand what this pest can do, how it spreads, and what can be done to prevent loss of this important component of our urban forest,” said Mike Gorham of Bartlett’s office in Syracuse.

According to Gorham, scientists have developed specific treatment recommendations for managing this pest. In fact, Bartlett offices in other states with Emerald Ash Borer have already implemented these recommendations and are successfully preserving trees.

TN.GOV

The Emerald Ash Borer has been an unwelcome guest in the U.S. for several years.

Periodic inspections, prompt removal of infested trees and annual treatments with the appropriate insecticides are just part of this success.

Gorham, a Board Certified Master Arborist, urges property owners to remember that each tree is different and should be evaluated on a caseby-case basis. “In many ways,

trees are like humans and pets.

Each tree responds differently to stressors and the prescribed treatments,” stated Gorham.

“By assessing trees individually, we can determine how to best treat them. Or, if removal is the only option, we can do so in a way to help protect other trees on the property from the same fate.”

Q: When should I plant?

Farmers and gardeners often disagree about a lot of things, when to plant being the most basic. So called “gambling growers” will try to beat others to market by planting their crops as early as possible, taking the risk that the crops will be killed by a late frost or other natural disaster.

Seed packets often say “plant as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.” But what does that really mean? Like the phrase, “your mileage may vary” - taken from the disclaimer of EPA mileage ratings by car makers - which has become itself a qualifier so

done in by a heavy snow or prolonged freezing.

For flowers, try: pansies, snapdragons, and dianthus, also called pinks. You can also plant lily bulbs and bare root roses.

To further speed up warming your soil try using raised beds. Since they sit above ground level raised beds tend to drain better and warm up faster than the open ground.

You can also cover garden beds with sheets of black plastic for several weeks before you plant. You can even use black plastic trash bags.

Just remove the plastic before planting. Or, plant seeds or set out seedlings through holes cut into it.

Besides cold weather vegetables, many flowers do well in early spring.

Pansies, snapdragons, pinks, roses and lilies can all be set out while the weather is still far from balmy. You can buy flats of pansies or grow your own by direct seeding into

the garden.

Pansies (Viola × wittrockiana) are extremely cold hardy and can even withstand brief spring frosts and freezing spells even while in full bloom.

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) have the advantage of coming in various sizes and forms from so called “low growing carpet snapdragons” to “spikes of rocket snaps,” whose colorful blooms often reach two or three feet tall. Snapdragons can endure cool temperatures and light frosts, and can be planted as early as a week or two before your last frost.

Dianthuses (Dianthus spp.), also called pinks, are perennial flowers that actually prefer cool growing temperatures. Pinks begin blooming when daytime temperatures get into the sixties. In spite of the name “pinks” they are available in red, white, pink, and even striped varieties.

Lilies (Lilium spp.) are hardy flowering bulbs

that can be planted very early spring. You may want to cover very early lily plantings with a light mulch to protect against hard freezes. Once lilies begin to sprout, gently rake back the mulch to allow the soil to heat up.

Like all bulbs, lilies do best with good drainage,

that it translates roughly as “who knows what will really happen in your situation.”

One of the problems of the early spring garden isn’t just the weather, it’s the soil. Usually gardens are just too wet to work in early spring. One test is the mud ball test: dig down about four to six inches and take a handful of soil. Squeeze the soil into a ball and try to crumble it between your fingers. If it won’t break apart, it is too wet. Once the soil ball crumbles easily, you are ready for planting.

Think cool weather crops and you get the idea. The list of frost hardy vegetables includes carrots, radishes, peas, snow peas, snap peas, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, Swiss chard, lettuce, cilantro, kale and beets.

Simply till your garden and plant any of the above vegetables. Even a brief cold snap shouldn’t harm them, though most will be

“Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.”

Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates.

“We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to prequalification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.”

Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent.

“A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low

community banks thrive on.

“We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender.

We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase.

This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment.

The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailormade loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other features which add to Seneca’s appeal as a mortgage lender include no flood certificationfeesandnounderwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for decades to come,” she said.

“We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” according to Russo.
