Svoboda is also looking to expand by adding on some interns. Right now he is mainly running the site by himself with some help from artists on the website. “I could teach people a lot about how art and business go together,� Svoboda said.

He’d like to offer others the opportunity he would have liked to have in high school.

Working with high school students would be ideal, but anyone that wants to help is more than welcome. “It could be anybody - 20s, 30s, 60s, it could be any age,� Svoboda said.

Svoboda has three goals to accomplish with CNY Artists: make Central New York an arts powerhouse by creating things that can be sold here and outside of the area, educate people by showing them the quality work that is available here, and establish a creative community. “You are only as far away from your community as you are from your computer,�

Svoboda said.

This website is not just for painters and sculptors. Writers, story tellers, filmmakers, photographers and other creative heads all have a platform here to show, sell, and buy other works.

Now that the website is almost a year old, it has about 300 members with new people joining every day, Svoboda said. There are three kinds of membership: free viewing, annual fee membership if you want your own

Networking on the website has brought about a number of collaborations, including an Artists Trading Cards group where artists trade, not sell, their work on trading cards.

The main community is online, but there is also the opportunity for artists and art lovers to meet outside of the virtual world. CNY Artists’ first event displayed members’ works at Fayetteville Free Library in April.

Last week, Svoboda had less than 24 hours to take the exhibit down and put it up in its new location, Shoppingtown Mall. The exhibit will be up all of May. It’s a balanced show featuring photos, pastels, paintings and jewelry.

Networking for artists in Central New York has become a lot easier with the help of the start-up website, CNY Artists, Crafters and Creators.

CNY Artists is a space where art lovers can go to learn about and tap into CNY arts culture. Founder Peter Svoboda created the website last summer as a way for creative people of all disciplines to connect, support and have fun with other arts enthusiasts without the restriction of time, space or location. “I felt that creative people could get a lot of positive support and energy from other creative people,� Svoboda said.

Urban Outfitters still met with enthusiasm

By Gina Colonette

It’s nearly a year since Urban Outfitters opened up in Armory Square and it’s still being met with enthusiasm. Rumor has it where Urban Outfitters goes other chains follow. Whether it’s true or not, chains are welcome to add to the “mixed bag of goods” of Armory Square.

On August 19, 2010 Urban Outfitters made a new home for itself at 223 Walton St. When it first opened many of the existing retailers were looking forward to the increased traffic downtown and into their stores said Tony Ortega, president of the Armory Square Association.

The Sound Garden manager, Ron Cico-

ria, supported Urban Outfittes 100 percent and knows first hand the effect the store has had on the area. The Sound Garden had its best year in 2010. On the weekends many of the customers walking into his store had Urban Outfitters bags. Although he said you can’t attribute his store’s sales to just one thing, he’s sure having Urban Outfitters downtown has helped.

Cicoria is also an Urban Outfitters customer, but of course he still supports small businesses.

“I love small business, I’m in small business, but I’m also into making Armory Square a flourishing neighborhood,” Cicoria said.

In order for people to come downtown

felt comfortable bringing them in and offering them the Connective Corridor Hospitality Enterprise Fund (CCHEF) because of the positive effect the store has on independent retailers and restaurants around them.

Sio said although Urban is supposed to act as an anchor for other stores moving in there hasn’t been a whole sloth of new stores open in Armory Square as of yet.

The only real limitation on bringing chain stores into the area is space, Ortega said. For now Armory Square has Urban Outfitters and it’s doing the job it was meant to do. Coming up on its one year anniversary it’s still being met with enthusiasm by Armory Square retailers. “[Urban Outfitters] bring a whole new dimension to Armory Square - it’s wonderful. They are a national retailer who found Armory Square as a great place to do business,” Shapiro said. “I think it’s quite exciting having them down here.”

and want to shop, a market has to be created. Joel Shapiro, owner of Jet Black, Mr. Shop, Frankie & Faye and Bounce, thinks Armory Square has done that. He calls it a “mini Soho.”

When you look around Armory Square there is a very large market.

“When you’re in the retail business the bigger the market the better the place and every store will benefit from it,” Shapiro said. If that wasn’t true you’d have to shut down every store in the mall.”

Having Urban Outfitters downtown is exciting for some retailers and people who work to keep Armory Square thriving, but not all chains are wanted.

“They are unique because they are one of the few stores that go into an area where they try to meet the criteria of a people who want to shop at independent stores versus shop in the mall,”said Ben Sio, of CenterState CEO Economic Development.

The Downtown Committee of Syracuse will celebrate the 5th year of the Downtown Living Tour on from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday May 21.

In honor of this 5th anniversary event, the Downtown Living Tour will highlight workspaces in addition to living spaces to show off the benefits of both living and working in the heart of the city. The Downtown Living Tour has always been an effective event that markets the uniqueness and diversity of residential units in downtown. By adding a number of downtown’s most unique work spaces to the event this year, the Tour will show off even more of why downtown Syracuse has become the neighborhood of choice not only to live, but to also locate your business. Staying true to its roots, the Downtown Living Tour will also feature residential spaces ranging from historic and adaptive reuse projects to downtown’s most upscale condominiums.

Tickets are on sale now for $10 per person at downtownsyracuse.com. Prices will go up to $12 per person the day of the event. Pick up advance-sale tickets or day-of at the tour start, Deys Centennial Plaza.

To volunteer for the event, contact Michelle Erno at events@downtownsyracuse.com or 422-8284. A volunteer orientation will be scheduled closer to the event, and each volunteer is asked to volunteer for a 2-hour shift and will receive a free t-shirt and ticket to the tour.

Keep the momentum going Chris Fowler, the leader of the Syracuse First movement, has a lot of ideas.

But they’re all focused on the same goal: transforming the greater Syracuse area (and event the region) into a vibrant, sustainable community that emphasizes it’s resources and doesn’t make excuses for itself.

The two keys to doing that: stop wanting what we don’t have, and stop trying to be some place we’re not.

OK, we’re not New York City. And we’re never going to be, says Fowler. And that’s a good thing.

Because we have things to offer that NYC -- and most other cities -- don’t have.

Like, record snowfall in the winter, rounded out by three other stop-you-in-your-tracks-beautiful seasons.

And an inherent “saltiness” (read: skepticism) that we sometimes let work against us but that we can also put to work questioning different ways of tackling problems and finding more creative solutions.

If we focus on what we already have to offer -- like our high quality air, water, green space and higher learning institutions -- we can determine the best ways to use and cultivate those resources to revitalize the entire community.

Consider this: Brain Drain. A problem plaguing many cities like Syracuse, we’ve been told, that drives smart, young, energetic professionals from their home cities and to places “of more opportunity.”

People move away, that’s part of a more mobile society. But that means people move here, too.

The many non-Syracuse natives who are making their mark in this city go unnoticed, while the region as a whole complains about brain drain, Fowler says. Another example of ignoring what we do have in favor of complaining about what we are lacking.

Just a few weeks ago, we met a soon-to-be Syracuse University graduate who’s excited to stay in Syracuse and starting her career here. Just because she’s come to love it over the last four years and she wants to be an active part of the community now that’s she’s out of school.

We had questions. Like, isn’t it frustrating, to want something that will take so much time and energy to create? How can we expect people to stay here and wait for things to improve when they could move to a new town that has already realized its potential?

And Fowler had answers.

It’s not frustrating because there’s a clear solution and identifiable steps toward reach that goal. And we’re already there -- we know what we want, and we know how to get there, we just have to keep the momentum going. Sure, Folwer says, there are things we don’t have the power to change or control, but improving Syracuse isn’t one of them.

And why insert yourself into a community that’s already done all that work on their own, when you can be a part of the change?

People want to be a part of the transformation, they want to invest in something that they can look back on and be proud of achieving and say, ‘I helped do that,’ Fowler says.

Have your papers-even if you’re President Ken Jackson Watching Donald Trump force the President of the United States to produce a document proving his place of birth was painful, especially painful for black men.

You see, we have always had to present our “papers,” whether the task is as simple as applying for a minimumwage job, to proving that you are a college graduate or that you are something other than a racial stereotype.

I recall a situation where an African-American woman describes how her grandfather disappeared in 1899 and how he was found 22 days later by his brother, locked up in jail. Apparently he was stopped by authorities thrown in jail because he didn’t have his “papers”.

Once discovered, the jailed man’s brother produced the required “papers,” but that wasn’t enough to release him.

He came back to the jail with his brother’s white employer in tow. When the white employer arrived with the “papers” the man was released.

As a student home on break from Ithaca College, I remember going out to meet friends at Lost Horizon and the issue at that time the late 1970’s was African-Americans being denied entry to discos.

It was routine to have the identification that allowed entry last week not to be sufficient the following weekend.

Once you arrived you weren’t sure if you could get in, and if you were to meet someone there, forget it. Because one Saturday night your I.D. was acceptable, another night, not acceptable.

Or if you arrived with five people they would allow three entry and deny the others, saying “Sorry, you have the wrong I.D.” We were so disturbed by the repeated incidents that we met with the Onondaga County Chapter of the NAACP and we were told by then-President Tommy Blunt, “We

Urban

CNY

have more important things to do than get involved with going out to party.” It was not long after that meeting that the discriminatory practices employed at these discos became apparent to the entire community.

The moment of truth came when Channel 3 caught several discos discriminating against African-Americans with hidden cameras. Night Deposit and others were caught on camera but by then it was too late. We just stopped going out.

It became clear to many of us coming home on break from college that growing up in Syracuse and being black also meant knowing your place. Our “place” included which bars, nightclubs or discos we could go to, and which ones we could not. Fast forward to 1989: I started a newspaper.

As a newly-minted journalist and newspaper owner, I joined the local professional press organization.

After several years being a member I was honored to become president of the Syracuse Press Club. Here I was the smallest publisher in the market leading a prestigious organization. I was excited as I arrived at then Mayor Roy Bernardi’s office for a Press Conference with New York’s recently-elected Governor George Pataki.

At the Mayor’s office door, as members of the press filed by, I noticed that they asked everybody for identification. I saw Blockbuster Cards, a flash of a WSYR microphone and simply a nod and “go ahead” directed at people who had no visible identification.

As I made it to the door the flow suddenly stopped.

“Who are you?” said the towering police guard.

“I’m Ken Jackson,” and as I opened my wallet to produce several pieces of identification another Syracuse Press Club member recognized me and told the guard, “oh that’s Ken Jackson, president of the Syracuse Press Club.” I was then escorted in to meet the governor. By the way, the white reporter had no I.D.

Random Thoughts: Cause for celebration?

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Late on Sunday night we got the word that Osama bin Laden was dead. Within minutes, people surrounded the White House, cheering, and similar demonstrations sprung up on college campuses and other public venues. It was time to celebrate.

So why wasn’t I celebrating? Why would I not revel in the moment where the world’s most wanted man was tracked down and killed?

Well, the answer’s real simple – the immense cost, in loss of human life and other damages, that characterized the quest for bin Laden. We simply lost too much.

First, there was the evil of 9/11 itself. The irrational hatred

bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda allies harbored toward America led to a traumatic event that shattered America’s sense of security, even as it renewed patriotism from all corners of our land.

Understandably, our nation vowed revenge and to get bin Laden, and they almost did in the months following 9/11. Better yet, we had close to universal agreement on our mission to fight terrorism. All that remained was to focus on capturing or killing Osama.

Instead, we got a diversion called Iraq. It’s now well-known that Iraq, and Saddam Hussein, had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Yet that, plus the fictional weapons of mass destruction, served as the basis to shepherd a scared American people (and scared American politicians) into a conflict that only served to shatter our reputation around the world.

And when that work was done, we doubled down in Afghanistan, determined to build a nation torn asunder by ▷

is as slow and gradual as currently planned.

So why not pull out sooner, and at a greater volume? If possible, the president should tell the Afghan rulers to, in essence, get their act together quick, that it’s time for American soldiers to exit and time for us to focus the billions that we’re spending there back at home, where it’s needed.

Aside from all that, the credit for this must go to where it truly belongs – not to presidents, past or present, but to the brave men and women who carried out the mission, both in our military and in our intelligence community.

A large majority of our current armed forces signed up in the aftermath of 9/11, and many of them cited the desire to get bin Laden as a driving force to volunteer. If anything, this is their victory, hard-earned in tears and blood.

Combine that with the CIA and other intelligence groups that, despite years of frustration, just kept working, anonymous to the world, until they finally found bin Laden, setting the stage for the successful raid just concluded.

Their service, more than anything else, is the true story here, another prime example of how, with enough labor, toil and perseverance, Americans can still accomplish what they set out to do, and without money as the major reward.

So recognize the work of those who serve our nation that brought an end to Osama bin Laden. But save the celebrations for the day when the United States acts less as an avenging angel and more like the defender of freedom and democracy, wherever it might arise.

What you’re saying We asked readers: Should Syracuse residents be allowed to keep hens at home, or would urban chickens be a nuisance?

Here’s what you had to say:

“

Of course residents of the city of Syracuse should be allowed to keep chickens. Roosters, no, but hens, yes.

centuries-old conflicts for reasons ranging from geography to religion. More billions spent, more soldiers, more lives lost – and for what?

For all those reasons, my reaction on Sunday night was extremely muted. All the memories of the last decade came flooding back, and it really got pointed when someone said that President Obama’s announcement fell exactly eight years to the day after George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished� show.

Of course, this presidential appearance was a complete contrast to the jingoism of 2003. No aircraft carrier, no flyboy outfit, no banner, no cheering soldiers, just a sober leader delivering a sober announcement while some turned it into V-J Day. What matters, even more, is what happens next. Events in the Middle East in recent months, from the emergence of democracy in Tunisia and Egypt to the budding civil war in Libya and violent crackdowns elsewhere (Syria, for instance), add to the urgency of getting it right. Our leaders must show maturity and patience, even as events unfold at a quick pace.

At the same time, we have to reassess the whole Afghanistan adventure. The primary reason our soldiers went there in the first place was to get bin Laden. Toppling the Taliban late in 2001 was a byproduct, but by the time we came back in force the combination of religious fervor and political corruption made things a lot tougher.

Besides, bin Laden, as it turned out, was in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. Everyone’s happy to be rid of him, but that doesn’t make the Afghan mission any easier, especially if the withdrawal

2011 Wing Tournament: Tipperary Hill results Kicking off the highly competitive Tipp Hill Bracket is Blarney Stone’s hot wings vs.

Rosie’s deserves credit for outstanding wings with great meat, great skin, and a slight hint of garlic, highlighted by an intense heat and some of the hottest wings in the tournament. I also liked the fact that a few

wings still had the tips on them, which was a welcomed surprise and hints that they might cut the 3-joint wings themselves, but some of the drumettes suffered as a result and were small, boney, and in some cases indiscernible.

While most categories were a draw (hence the low score), Blarney Stone was able to come up solid in just about each category and pulled out a 2-1 victory over Rosie’s wings. Blarney Stone offered great, slightly crispy and chewy skins, above-average meat, a great heat level, and delicious and plentiful Buffalo sauce.

Winner: Blarney Stone

Tipperary Hill Opening Round: Game 2 (3) Nibsy’s Pub’s “Hot” wings: 5 points (2) Patsy’s Pizza’s “Hot” wings: 0 points The next Tipp Hill match-up featured Nibsy’s hot wings ushering in the first shutout of the tournament in a 5-0 victory over Patsy’s Pizza. Patsy’s was only able to muster up a fight in the heat department, with wings soaked in plenty of tasty hot sauce that had a great, albeit vinegary, Buffalo flavor. Aside from that, uninspiring chicken meat, small wings, dry skins, and a flavorless blue cheese with no celery made them susceptible to a defeat by the opposition.

Nibsy’s wings, served in a wooden basket lined with tin foil and in a pool of mouth-wa-

tering hot sauce, easily took the match-up and were by far some of the best wings in the entire tournament. Though Nibsy’s had hints of fattier meat and an exterior skin that was slightly thin, Nibsy’s were otherwise flawless. The tasty, jumbo-style wings were coated in a perfectly balanced hot sauce that made them, in my opinion, the definition of classic Buffalo wings that contained just the right amount of heat.

Winner: Nibsy’s Pub

Tipperary Hill Second Round: Championship Game (3) Nibsy’s Pub’s “Hot” wings: 2 points (1) Blarney Stone’s “Hot” wings: 1 point

The championship round of the Tipperary Hill bracket featured Nibsy’s and Blarney Stone in a fierce battle for the third spot in the upcoming Final Four. Blarney’s hot wings are truly excellent and, admittedly, will always be my biased wing of choice when on Tipp Hill.

With a perfect amount of heat, outstanding skins, and tasty, chunky blue cheese, it’s hard not to pick them, but the self-proclaimed “oldest tavern in Syracuse” edged them out.

While Blarney’s had an excellent amount of sauce that made getting fingers messy enjoyable, Nibsy’s overwhelmingly better sauce flavor was the deciding factor and, helped by the jumbo-style wings, put Blarney’s to ▷

It comes as little surprise that the incidence of arthritis among U.S. adults is nearly as epidemic as obesity. That’s because the two are likely related.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in five (22 percent) U.S. adults has been diagnosed with arthritis. While this percentage translates to nearly 50 million people and is about the same percentage reported five years ago, there has been a significant increase in the number of people saying that joint pain (or other arthritis symptoms) limits their day-to-day activity (dressing, stair-climbing, gardening, etc.).

Cover story

Bullpen bulldogs!

By Russ Tarby

April was a long, dark month for the Syracuse Chiefs in more ways than one.

Hitters didn’t hit, runners were caught stealing, errors piled up and it rained constantly. Even the starting rotation – which looked rock-solid on paper – often crumbled like mud on the mound.

After roaring out of the gate by winning five of its first seven games, Syracuse’s professional baseball club took a turn for the worse, ending the month in the basement of the International League’s North Division with a record of nine wins and 15 losses.

As May dawned, wet weather lingered, the Chiefs bats remained cold and the team’s starters shaky, but its sturdy bullpen brightened the season’s dim beginning.

Starters Ross Detwilers, J.D. Martin, Yunesky Maya, Garrett Mock and Craig Stammen all have strong arms and majorleague experience to boot, but only lefty Detwiler notched more than a single victory in April. Meanwhile rookie southpaw Tommy Milone suffered a rude welcome to Triple-A, as opponents scored 13 earned runs off him in his first 22 innings of work.

While consistency has eluded the rotation, Syracuse’s relief pitchers were as reliable as the sunrise, even on rainy days.

Cole Kimball

In fact, one young reliever has been practically perfect so far. Brooklyn-born right-

Chiefs battle Bulls at ABS

After an eight-game road trip to Virginia and North Carolina, the Chiefs return to Alliance Bank Stadium at 7 p.m. May 13, against the Durham Bulls. Games against the Bulls are also slated at 2 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday, May 14-15, and at noon on Monday, May 16. The Norfolk Tides roll into town at 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday, May 17-20.

ABS is on the North Side, just east of the Regional Market. Field-level ticket prices range from $9 to $20, while upper-deck seats cost $8, and $4 for kids and seniors. Parking costs $5 per vehicle; 474-7833; syracusechiefs.com.

hander Cole Kimball allowed not a single earned run in his first nine appearances.

He struck out nine in nine and two-thirds innings, walked four and was nicked for six hits while earning a team-high four saves. In early-April he was named the International League’s Pitcher of the Week.

The 25-year-old, 6-foot-3, 240-pound right-hander – a starter for Division III Centenary College in New Jersey – became a reliever in 2009 following a rib-cage injury suffered in spring training.

Last season, Kimball registered 20 saves, starting at Potomac and finishing at Double-A Harrisburg. He went a combined 8-1 with a 2.17 ERA. In autumn’s Arizona Fall League he had a 0.75 ERA, and now he’s mowing down batters in the International League with a 95 to 98 mph fastball, a stunning splitter and an effective curve.

Kimball, who wears his cap askew and sports a boyish grin, is far more aggressive than he looks. He thinks the closer role fits his personality. Chiefs manager Randy Knorr agrees.

“He’s a real bulldog,” Knorr said. “He’s intense, and he has the right closer mentality.”

Josh Wilkie

Born in Tennessee and now living in Georgia, Josh Wilkie thrives in warm weather, but he has managed to keep his head well above water here in drizzly Central NY. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder deftly mixes a fastball, change and curve and will throw that curve anywhere in the count. Occasionally, he said, “I can adjust small things to make the curveball a slider.”

More and more often, he’s pitching inside to left-handed batters and getting the fastball over for first-pitch strikes, resulting in 17 Ks over 13-plus innings in April.

Last year, his first entire season in TripleA, Wilkie was 4-4 with eight saves for the Chiefs and an impressive 2.35 ERA over 70 innings. Right now, the guitar-strumming Southerner boasts a 1.35 ERA and two saves.

He has allowed no home runs.

Collin Balester

Last season, 6-foot-5 SoCal surfer dude Collin Balester transformed himself into a reliever, which seems to have been a smart move. Despite his highly touted 95-mph heater, Balester’s ERA ballooned to 11.65 in five games as a starter here in 2010, but after

HERM CARD PHOTOS

Tall Texan Jeff Mandel induces a batter to hit a weak grounder back to him. COVER PHOTO: Cole Kimball. moving to the bullpen he finished the season 3-3 and lowered his ERA to 5.87.

This year, partly on the strength of a newly refined breaking ball that sneaks across the plate low in the zone, Bally is 1-0 with an enviable 2.08 ERA. In eight-plus innings, he has whiffed 11 and walked five and – best yet – he has refused to let a hitter take him deep, a problem that plagued him in previous seasons.

Well-known for his fiery red goatee, Balester approaches relieving with “an attack mentality.” He credits Chiefs pitching coach Greg Booker and 2010 bullpen buddy Ron Villone for helping him “with the mindset of being in the relief role, how to stay fresh, also how to stay mentally strong.”

Balester turns 25 on June 6.

Adam Carr

A converted power hitter, Bay-area righthander Adam Carr now plans to make the majors as a power pitcher.

At 6-foot-2 and 200-pounds, the hardthrowing 27-year-old who slugged 34 home runs over two seasons with Oklahoma State University now sets up his flaming fastball with a changeup and a slider. Last year with the Chiefs, Carr posted a 2.08 ERA while making nine saves in 16 games. This year, he’s 1-1 with a 4.35 ERA. Carr, who sports the longest hair on the Syracuse team, digs heavy metal. He revels in the music of Megadeth.

Matt Chico

Matt Chico has a quality not shared by all relievers. The 27-year-old is cool, calm and

collected, an attitude that helps a lot when your job is to take control of a game in which pesky opponents are already on base primed to score against you.

“One of the best things about Matt,” said his Washington Nationals teammate Ryan Zimmerman, “is the way he handles himself on the mound.”

Maybe the elbow-reconstruction surgery he underwent in 2008 has given him some perspective.

The California southpaw has struggled a bit against right-handed batters this season, his third in the IL, but he remains effective against lefties as expected. So far he’s 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA.

Jeff Mandel

Last season with the Chiefs Jeff Mandel was 5-6, with a 4.75 ERA, after striking out 60 batters and walking 33. The 26-year-old 6foot-3-tall Texan notched eight saves in 2006 when he was pitching for Baylor University, but the big righty has yet to record a save in four-plus seasons of pro ball. He’s been used sparingly so far this season, striking our four in five innings and taking one loss despite his 1.80 ERA.

Lee Hyde

Lefty Lee Hyde started for Georgia Tech in the 2006 College World Series but has since taken up relieving.

“There’s nothing like the adrenaline rush you get coming out of the bullpen in a tight situation,” he said. And he thinks he actually throws his fastball harder as a reliever, increas-

Young Hispanic artists explore ‘Your Words Today’ Young talents from Syracuse’s Hispanic communities are the artists, writers and performers participating in the pilot run of “El Punto,” through June at The Point of Contact Gallery, 914 E. Genesee St. El Punto is a new contemporary arts program created by Point of Contact and facilitated to local youths in collaboration with the Spanish Action League (La Liga) and La Casita Cultural Center.

Supported in part by the College of Arts & Sciences and University College at Syracuse University, the initiative targets mainly Hispanic families and is themed “Your Words Today/Tus palabras de hoy” for the debut run.

The aim is to raise awareness about the way in which

we talk to our youth; how parents, teachers, and other role models in our community can have an impact on our young, and how our words today can affect them in a positive or negative way in the future, according to a release from Point of Contact.

Through workshop activities, the theme was explored from the point of view of the young through a variety of hands-on workshop practicum free for participants between 10 and 15 years old.

Following an opening reception on May 6, the young artists’ work is now on display at Point of Contact. Fore more, visit puntopoint.org.

Hand crafted pieces from a mural installation by El Punto, a new contemporary art program, are on display at Point of Contact Gallery.

Finding your best bet for veggies Wondering what varieties work well?

So are researchers!

So, you’ve tilled the soil, dug your rows and have fertilizer at the ready. But what should you plant?

Obviously, you will choose

some favorite vegetables, herbs and fruits to cultivate in your home garden, but, since 2004, a tool has been available online to help you decide what is worthy of being in your garden.

This tool, developed by the Cornell Cooperative Extension, is an interactive web site for gardeners to share their experiences with seed varieties, as well as their advice on which varieties

Top five rated varieties

grow the best.

Gardeners can register at vegvariety.cce.cornell.edu to rate and review their favorite vegetable varieties, as well as those that didn’t work so well for them. Anyone can visit the site to read those reviews and ratings to find varieties that will work best in their gardens.

“It’s like an Amazon.com for vegetable varieties, only we don’t sell the seeds,” said Lori Bushway, the senior extension associate in Cornell University’s Department of Horticulture who coordinates the website.

The concept is simple: Gardeners visit this site and report what varieties

perform well - and not so well - in their gardens. Other gardeners visit to view the variety ratings and read the reviews to decide which might work well for them.

According to the website, “Asking gardeners to partner with researchers by collecting and sharing their own observations via the web could prove to be a winning combination for all. With a multitude of gardener observations at their finger tips, researchers can gain new insight into the performance of vegetable varieties under a wide range of conditions and practices, and ultimately provide more insight into which varieties

perform best. At the same time, gardeners can get advice from a larger community of gardeners to help decide which varieties to try in their own garden.”

In addition, the site offers a guide to growing 58 garden vegetables, with detailed descriptions, growing instructions, site and soil requirements, varieties and solutions for managing pests and diseases.

“We’re calling on passionate vegetable gardeners to help us spread the word about the site and improve it by contributing more ratings and reviews,” said Bushway. “The more ratings and reviews we get, the more

reliable and valuable the site becomes.”

The site also links to other Cornell gardening resources, including online growing guides for more than 60 vegetable crops, and a project, Vegetable Varieties Investigation (VVI). This intergenerational citizen science project bridges the technology divide, helping youth connect with gardeners in their community, learn survey skills, and explore biodiversity through the whimsical world of vegetable varieties.

No garden for me…so seedlings can breathe a sigh of relief Eagle Newspapers Managing Editor

Just recently I did an interview with horticulturist extraordinare Terry Ettinger – the guru of gardens. When discussing possible topics for the article I was about to write, he suggested tips for how to start a garden, the correct way.

“Correct” is more my word than his; he was very diplomatic about the whole subject. People, he said, should consider how their garden fits into their lifestyle and abilities. If you don’t want to lug a hose to the back corner of your yard every day, plant your garden closer to the water source.

Keep it simple - if you like peas, cucumbers and squash, plant those varieties and forget the other vegetables you won’t eat as much.

I recognized the wisdom in his words, as I am a great one to jump into a project with both feet, only to realize I don’t have the time, energy

or knowledge to keep up with it. Although I have been a homeowner for more than a decade, I have yet to add “gardener” to my list of ac-

ing like a tomato picked right from the garden, still warm from the sun. I get that, and am able to sample it, thanks to my father, the home gardening pro. He has built an enclosure, using logs as cornerstones, about eight feet high, in order to keep deer and other pests out of his garden. He created his own irrigation system in order to keep the soil moist, the workings of which, though described by him in detail, remain a mystery to me.

I have inherited many traits from my par-

ents, most good, but one thing I got from my mother was her self-admitted “brown thumb.”

Plants die around me, and it’s quite depressing.

I don’t even attempt house plants anymore – it’s too depressing to see brittle, brown leaves scattered on the shelf around wilting, sad once-greenery.

Fortunately, I do have more luck with shrubbery (I keep it nice and trimmed!) and easy, no-maintenance perennials outside, which I even water once in a while.

Fortunately for seedlings everywhere, I have not elected to begin a vegetable patch of my own. I know myself and my limitations: 1. I have a low attention span. This means I will walk right by a plant begging for attention and not notice.

2. I’m always in a rush. Even just to the store to pick up the milk, I tend to grab and run. No time to weed, feed or seed.

3. I don’t tend to tie things in a neat bow.

I know what will happen: I will begin the

garden with the best of intentions, then let it rest, half-done, until the leaves start falling in autumn. In the meantime, the garden will serve as a reminder of my defeat.

So, though I recognize the value of having a home garden – money saved, yummy produce and enjoyment of being outdoors while working – I’m not going to start one – yet.

Why does the fact that I haven’t firmly closed the door on the idea of starting a garden sound more like a threat than a promise?

Tree talk

The importance of periodic pruning

By Tom Mullarney ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Bartlett Tree Experts

Central New York properties have both young and mature trees that require periodic maintenance. Pruning is the most common procedure for maintaining trees.

Pruning should be done with an understanding of how the trees respond to each cut.

Improper pruning may cause damage that can last for the tree’s lifespan or, worse yet, can shorten the tree’s lifespan.

including all required safety equipment and the appropriate liability insurance.

Be careful if an arborist suggests “topping� your tree.

A knowledgeable arborist knows that topping is not a

standard practice, as it is very harmful to trees.

Remember, periodic pruning can provide major health, safety and aesthetic benefits for your trees; but only if it is completed properly.

Why is periodic pruning necessary?

Pruning is necessary for various reasons such as the removal of weak branching, and to provide structural, lighting, utility lines, pedestrian traffic and/or vehicular traffic clearance.

Pruning is also an invigorating process. By removing dead, dying, diseased, and crossing and conflicting limbs, energy reserves are directed towards growth in remaining branches.

Periodic pruning should maintain a desirable, natural shape while enhancing the beauty and health of your landscape.

When should you begin pruning trees?

Pruning young plants helps them build a strong structure to support future growth. Most young trees require a strong central leader and balanced branching to ensure the proper distribution of weight and to prevent future structural problems. A tree with minimal structural problems will be less likely to fail during a heavy rain or snowstorm. Proper structure reduces the risk to your tree’s health and also reduces the risk of damage to your home and property from falling limbs.

Wound dressings

Wound dressings were once thought to help wound closure, and protect against disease and insect activity. However, research has shown that dressings do not reduce decay or speed closure. In addition, they rarely prevent disease or insect activity. Most experts do not recommend using wound dressings. If dressing is to be used it is simply for aesthetic purposes only (i.e., covering an obvious tree wound).

Katrina Russo, President – CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, is proud that the Bank’s hometown approach comes first. “As a community bank, we have first-hand knowledge of our local markets and its businesses,” said Russo.

She mentioned the advantage smaller, local banks have in pricing deposit and loan products, reaching out to customers and making exceptions. “We know our customers and understand their place in the local economy,” she continued.

This community bank is also set apart from the larger institutions in that they have always taken great pride in the tremendous in-house talent they have built at the Association. Because they develop a deep talent pool, they are able to promote from within, which furthers their understanding of their customer base.

“Our personnel live and work in the same areas as our customers,” said Russo. It is because of this veteran talent that they have been able to continue to perform strongly, even in the most difficult oper-

ing for the opportunities that the changes to the economic landscape will bring. In this new landscape, I believe there will be tremendous opportunities for community banks.”

The president, who has now been in her current position for one year, reiterated the message of the past President. Simply put she stated, “Our message is simple, and a proven one: community lenders extend credit responsibly and work to increase the wealth of its customers through the lowest possible lending products and the highest possible deposit product rates.” She stressed that the community bank model works.

She continues to tell their story of responsible lending and of the positive customer relationships they strive to build.

After all, they have a great story to tell and if they don’t tell it, who will?

It’s fix-up time

By Waded GonzalezCandelaria, 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 C ounty 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 dai-

Cavaliere, Cray and Corea coming to Jazz Fest June 24-25 Freestyle funk and fusion plus buckets of rhythm & blues will transform the free-admission 29th annual M&T Syracuse Jazz Fest into one of the biggest parties of the summer.

Jazz impresario Frank Malfitano announced the lineup at a May 2 press conference at downtown’s Crowne Plaza Hotel, where festival performers are often housed. Headliners for the June 24-25 jazz bash at Onondaga Community College include Felix Cavaliere & The New Rascals, the Average White Band and the Robert Cray Band on Friday and the Brothers of Funk with Al Chez and Return to Forever IV with Chick Corea and Jean-Luc Ponty on Saturday.

Chez, a trumpeter and bandleader from New Jersey turned in the most exciting set of the 2009 festival when Al’s stratospheric brass work was backed by 17 enthusiastic musicians from Rochester who turned in a passionate, pulsating set.

Upstate’s aspiring jazzers

Opening the 2011 festival on Friday will be City of Syracuse Department of Parks and Recreation Stan Colella All-Star Band and the All-County High School All-Star Jazz Band, led respectively by Joe Carello and Steve Frank.

Saturday’s support acts include the OCC Jazz Band Meets the Steelheads, a collaboration between two college groups one from Upstate NY and a Trinidad-style steel band from Michigan.

A fascinating cross-genre concept act called Jazz Guitars Meet Hendrix will spotlight hip sixstringers Sheryl Bailey and Vic Juris as they both play tribute to Jimi.

Remember dinners for $3.95?

In the 1950s George Tortortelli played his first professional music gig at Angelo’s Restaurant on North Salina Street. Angelo’s did business where Aunt Josie’s now stands.

A talented bassist and singer, Tortortelli spent his days in the gym, training to be a professional boxer. When darkness fell, however, he was inexorably drawn to Syracuse’s nightclubs where patrons danced to live music.

As a prizefighter, Tortorelli compiled a record of 48 wins and four losses to become 1958’s Central and Western N.Y. Golden Gloves Middleweight Champ.

And as a bandleader – using the stage name George Orelli – he worked all of Central New York’s top nightclubs, from the 800 Club to Lorenzo Supper Club to Three Rivers Inn. The 79-year-old, who now lives in Miami, Fla., returns to the Salt City from 8 p.m. to midnight this Saturday, May 14, for a dinner-dance and show at Pensabene’s, 135 State Fair Blvd., on the West End near Sacred Heart Basilica; $30 includes 7 p.m. dinner; 461-8279. The reunion will feature the State Street Band, vocalists Danielle Rausa, Nick Mulpagano and Tom Tortorelli and a dance contest hosted by Bob Barker. Orelli will act as master of ceremonies. At the gig, he’ll reminisce about the good old days when cover charges were just three bucks and dinners started at $3.95.

From page 10 struck out nine while allowing five hits, one earned run and six walks for a 1.08 ERA, which understandably earned him a recall to Washington on April 27.

All baseball executives know that pitching is the name of the game, and Chiefs General Manager John Simone is no different.

“Right now, our pitching is dominant,” he said last month. “Once the hitting comes around the pitching dominance will continue to take us through the season.”

And the Chiefs’ bullpen bulldogs can honestly say they led the way.

bass, Tortorelli worked for years with rhythm & blues combos at venues such as the legendary 800 Club, the Embassy Restaurant and the Penguin Grill. “I consider my experience in Syracuse’s black clubs invaluable in developing my musical talent,” he says.

Along the way, George began leading his own bands at downtown clubs like Lorenzo’s.

Another Salina Street spot Orelli worked was Andre’s Tic Toc Club. “In spite of the fact that it became an adult club, the shows there were always in good taste,” George says. Tic Toc Club owners Bushy Smith, Vic Hite and Nate Bronstein often booked acts like Frankie Laine, Patti Page and Tony Bennett.

For several years Orelli and his wife Rosalinda entertained at Three Saints in Liverpool. They also played downtown at the Hackney House on South Warren Street and at Le Moyne Manor, built by owner Frank Montanaro.

One of Orelli’s favorite club-owners was Dom Bruno at Three Rivers Inn on Route 57.

“He was called ‘The Silver Fox’ because of his gray hair and the brilliant way he conducted his business,” George recalls. “He was always a man of his word.”

Blues Fest rising from ashes

After canceling last year’s summer blues bash, the NYS Blues Festival has regrouped, raised some money and announced plans for a festival to run in downtown’s Clinton Square July 8-10.

Among the performers will be Magic Slim, Sue Foley, Hadden Sayers and Ronnie Earl, who will jam with former Syracuse guitarist Jose Alvarez. Blues Fest President Todd Fitzsimmons also booked Big Apple-based guitar prodigy Mojo Myles Mancuso.

“The blues festival’s mission is to preserve, perpetuate and cultivate the blues art form,” Fitzsimmons recently wrote. “Hiring an ex-

Trumpeter Al Chez will return to the Syracuse Jazz Festival on June 25, at Onondaga Community College, to lead The Brothers of Funk big band. tremely talented teenage kid that few have heard of meets our goals. I remember inviting an 8year-old Joe Bonamassa to play a festival in the 1980s at Nardi’s in Hamilton, the first time he got to play for a live audience I believe. I think Mojo has the potential to be one of those kind of game-changing artists, and I’d like to help make that happen.”

The free-admission festival also features plenty of homegrown talent including Corn-Bred, Mark Doyle, The Delinquents, Los Blancos and an all-star act dubbed the Soul of Syracuse.

But rub your high john the conqueror root, Fitzsimmons still has to raise tens of thousands of dollars to make the Blues Fest a reality in July; nysbluesfest.com/.

Last Thursday, on Cinco de Mayo, I worked at my part-time job at the Market Diner. It was my first night back in about three weeks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assuming most people took advantage of the beautiful weather by grilling outside, picnicking or eating at outdoor cafes because we were slower than usual.

My fiance had stopped in for dinner after shopping for a wedding band. He took a lone seat at the counter. As we talked about

our dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, I saw a man, who we now know as Benjamin Campione, stagger in through the front door. My senses were on high alert. It was evident he had been drinking and his behavior was rather intense.

His choice of wardrobe, Tami S. which included a long Zimmerman black trench coat, was also unusual for a warm, sunny spring day.

I greeted him and asked him if he would like a drink. He gazed at me incoherently, answering with a couple â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

He was confused. I smiled, walked away and told my manager we might have a situation.

He offered to take care of this customer for me, much to my relief.

However, as I passed the customer a few minutes later he called out to me that he wanted a club sandwich. The order was in but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay long enough for the food to arrive at his table. Instead, he left, but not before raising suspicions further. He was fidgety the entire time he was sitting down, taking off his coat and putting it back on, feeling the small of his back behind him.

But as he exited the restaurant, he stopped, reached toward his back again, looked back into the diner, then walked out.

The other waitress working that night saw the gun. We watched Mr. Campione round the corner of the Market Diner and walk toward the direction of the public transportation center. Our manager called 911.

He had written down a detailed description of Mr. Campione, from his clothes to the tattoo on his forearm. He told the 911 dispatcher that he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t threatened us, but that he carried a gun, was highly intoxicated and acting odd.

Moments later, we watched numerous police cars, then emergency vehicles, rush past the diner windows in the direction he was headed. We wondered then what had happened.

In the hours and days that followed, we learned what had happened along with the rest of Central New York. The man, who minutes prior had stumbled into a seat at the diner, was now dead. He had pulled his gun on the police and was shot. We found out the gun he carried was a pellet gun designed to look like a .357 Magnum. He had a history of mental health issues and run-ins with the police, had been getting steadily worse and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on his medications. My heart goes out to the police, â&#x2013;ˇ

‘Clean Slate Diaries’ survivors speak

‘Newhouse Nick,’ the rapper in a snuggie

Watch an SU student brave the waters of Onondaga Lake and live to tell the tale. In rhyme.

“Newhouse Nick” raps about his surrogate city in the video “Syracuse RAPorting.”

In a snuggie.

If you can’t quiet your curiosity, find a link to the video on facebook.com/theeaglecny and follow Nick on Twitter @ euro_adventures. who had no choice but to act in self-defense.

Will we ever know what his true intentions were that night? No. But if we, at the diner, had to do our part all over again, we would have handled the situation exactly as we did. The man we met was intense, intoxicated, disheveled and carried a gun. His actions were suspicious and we acted cautiously. It saddens me that Mr. Campione’s death was as tragic as his life. My heart also goes out to his family. I pray he is finally at peace.
