Viewpoints Our view
Confident in SURA Census figures estimate that of 55,945 occupied housing units in the city of Syracuse, 58.2 percent are inhabited by renters. Which means the majority Syracusans, every day and across the board, are at the mercy of their landlords when it comes to securing and maintaining housing. On top of that, nearly three-fourths of properties seizable by the city are occupied buildings. Between those two large percentages, there is bound to be significant overlap between seizable buildings, and the renters living inhabiting them. To a degree, that’s something all renters must deal with: the underlying reality that someone else has more control over your living situation than you do. For some, that’s a small price to pay for never having to mow the lawn or fix the roof; for many others, renting is less of a choice and more a circumstance. That second group of renters is the one that concerned us most while researching this week’s cover story (on page 12). Would the “new” SURA end up dumping renters out of their homes because their landlords couldn’t (or didn’t) keep up on taxes? We spoke with two people in the Department of Neighborhood and Business Development, and they both made clear to us that while the Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency could seize any property on the list at any time, vacant or not, it wasn’t a technique they had any intention of using. There are some who would say, “we’ve heard that before,” and they’d be right. But -- cautiously -- we have to admit we are impressed by the way things are being done here. Addressing Syracuse’s vacant, unfit and tax delinquent housing in a “surgical” manner, as Commissioner Paul Driscoll put it, won’t solve the problem overnight. Or even in a couple of years, at this rate. But it has the potential to result in thoughtful, well-managed solutions that respect city neighborhoods and their residents, and that’s already more than we can say for SURA’s past.
Are we really taking care of our veterans? I recently had the experience of being directly involved in the treatment of someone who was in need of services offered by the Veterans Affairs. Like most Americans, I didn’t have a clue as to how the process works, especially in case of an emergency. Let me say, I’m not going to rail on doctors or staff because, from what I saw, they all hustled and did the best they could, given the availability of staff on a Saturday night. The problem is not the staff, it’s the system. For most of us used to having health insurance and using regular hospitals, the veteran’s hospital is an eye opener. I would have thought that complex -- whose massive infrastructure is creeping down University Hill -- would be better equipped to handle life-threatening health crises. My first emergency room visit was to determine a proper needle for insulin injection, and after waiting from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m., the needles were given to the patient. I thought, “oh, they’re just busy today,” since it was the middle of the week. (By the way, they happened to give him the wrong needles!) What happened next was like watching a
Ken Jackson
bad medical show on television (to be fair, I don’t watch hospital shows since I find nothing entertaining about being sick). Imagine going through kidney dialysis and realizing partially through the process that the blood is not circulating as it should. In fact, it’s pooling, bulging in your arm. Not to worry, you’re told, “just use ice, 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, and use heat the following day.” That’s what they told a veteran at the local dialysis center, where he was sent by the VA while visiting Syracuse from Portland, Maine. Blood began flowing into his arm, pooling at the arm pit from inside and then cascading internally down the arm, working its way down to his fingers like water filling a balloon. When I arrived he was in excruciating pain, the kind of pain that morphine can’t diminish. The intensity of pain caused by blood filling your arm -- blood that was destine for cleansing, circulating through a machine and returned back to the body. As we near Memorial Day and focus on our veterans and the service they’ve given to our country I have to ask out loud, are we giving our service veterans the best medical

treatment available? The system is so overwhelmed that patients in the waiting areas are happy to share their tales of waiting all day for a script or visit. As our Congress, and most notably our own Congresswomen Anne Marie Buerkle, vote to eliminate the best working medical system for the aged, they need to spend a day or two at the Veteran’s Administration Hospitals. They’d be shocked at what they would observe. Perhaps a better lesson for our elected officials would be that any member of the United States House and Senate must use the exact same medical services made available to our brave men and women through Veterans Affairs. When it comes to the health and wellbeing of our veterans, we are dropping the ball and if you think this is a challenge, just wait until thousands of men and women return from their multiple tours of duty in our ongoing wars. What are we fighting for, if we can’t take care of the medical needs of our own veterans? Ken Jackson is the editor of Urban CNY and a weekly columnist for The Eagle.

Then, in one day, a mob attacked and firebombed one bus in Anniston while, in Birmingham, Bull Connor offered no protection as a second mob beat up the other riders.

agitation�. After a week of wrangling, the new Freedom Riders set out from Birmingham, protected by Alabama troopers – until they got to Montgomery and the troops vanished, replaced by a third mob that offered yet another beating, even to Justice Department official John Siegenthaler. It almost got worse. That night, Martin Luther King Jr. led a rally at Montgomery’s First Baptist Church, which quickly got surrounded by the largest mob yet. Only when JFK declared martial law and sent in the National Guard were the people in the church saved. Seeing all this, the good folks in Mississippi promised no violence to the Freedom Riders – they just sent them to jail. Yet what no one anticipated was that more than 400 men and women from across the country, inspired by what was happening, came to the Magnolia State as replacements. The consequences of the Freedom Riders’ acts were many. For one, interstate transportation was integrated from that point forward. And civil rights leaders learned that it could draw national and international attention to their cause by spotlighting the racism they had to face and, by exposing it, would hasten its end. At the same time, though, it sowed the
seeds of division within the movement. Younger Freedom Riders were upset with Dr. King for not joining them on the bus in Montgomery, and the gap between civil rights groups would only intensify in the years before Dr. King was murdered. And, of course, it hastened the rush of Dixie politicians toward a GOP embrace once Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy� became apparent. None of this, though, can detract from the most important aspect of the Freedom Ride – that it was started, nurtured, and executed by men and women of ordinary backgrounds, black and white, without title or political power behind them. Simply for doing what the law said they could do, and saying nonviolent despite the orgy of violence thrown at them by mobs and men in uniform, they gave America a crystal-clear example of grace and human dignity and won millions to their cause. In this jaded day and age, when we consider even the slightest tax increase as a so-called grave threat to our “freedom�, maybe it would be wise to consider the real risks the Freedom Riders took just half a century ago. No big reward awaited them – just the acknowledgement that they moved this nation forward to a better place. Phil Blackwell is the sports editor at Eagle Newspapers.

Nourishment for the body, artwork for the soul At several of Syracuse’s best restaurants, you can feed your artistic inclinations at the same time you feed your stomach.
Blisses at bc
For instance, bc Restaurant downtown at 247 West Fayette St., is now featuring the work of illustrators/painters Jim and Noma Bliss. This particular collection of the couple’s mixed-media paintings evokes a strong, spiritual relationship between nature and mankind. Recently relocated to Central New York from the Hudson Valley, the Blisses create seamless and evocative artworks executed in oil, acrylics and collage. Their work hangs in corporate and private collections worldwide. The couple is also currently showing at the Schweinfurth Art Museum in Auburn, The Rochester Memorial Art Gallery Museum Store, and Aurora Art and Design. The Blisses also plan to participate in the Everson Museum’s 60/60 show on June 17. A collection of their paintings are presently hanging in “the room,” at bc, in the city’s Armory Square neighborhood. The artwork us can be viewed during normal business hours Tuesday through Saturday. An artists’ reception was scheduled at bc for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday May 25.
Russ
“bc is a full-service restaurant offering comfortable dining in an urban setting for both lunch and dinner,” said the restaurant’s new managing partner, Ellen Leahy. For information, contact Leahy at 701-0636, or visit bc Restaurant on Facebook. The Blisses’ art is also available at nomablissartist.com.
Tarby
Wiley at Gentile’s
Considered by many gourmands to be best upscale eatery in town, Gentile’s Restaurant hangs work by a different artist each month. Now through mid-June the photographs of Carlisle Wiley adorn the restaurant’s brick walls. Wiley’s sharp eye manages to capture the elements of design in everyday objects, making art out of their fascinating colors, shapes and beauty. Chef Kevin Gentile’s eclectic Italian restaurant is located on the near North Side at 305 Burnet Ave.; 474-8258. During the week check out Gentile’s theme nights including Quiz Kevin – give him the ingredients and see what happens – plus wine night with no corking fees and Pasta Thursdays.

Older women suffering from the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis can literally take steps that protect them from bone fractures and extend their lives. New research shows that, by simply engaging in twenty minutes of at-home exercise daily (interspersed with six months of supervised weekly training annually), older women can increase their gait stability and cut their risk of fracture by 32% over five years. Exercise helps women with osteoporosis avert even small declines in strength and stability that can impair their ability to perform the common tasks of daily living (such as getting out of bed). Exercise helps women with the bonethinning disease to preserve their independence by staving off potentially debilitating fractures. Because exercise is important to strong bones,

2011 Wing Tournament: Southside / SU Hill Results uniquely flavorful sauce, peppery garlic wings that were some of the hottest in the tournament, excellent crispness, and a separate bin filled with chunky blue cheese and big pieces of fresh celery. No battle in this one. Swallow’s wins hands down with completely original, spicy, and superior all-around wings and easily deserve the title of best wings in this bracket. Winner and champion of the Southside/ SU Hill bracket: Swallow’s In the final round, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

South Side/SU Hill Game 1 (1) Swallow’s “Hot” wings: 5 points (4) Dorian’s Gourmet Pizza & Deli’s “Hot” wings: 1 point
This match-up featured two muchanticipated wing joints going head-to-head. Swallow’s, a small tavern on South Avenue that many people (including myself) may have heard of but have never before ventured to, brought some serious competition with their hot wings. The standout, without a doubt, is their signature hot sauce which blends a bit of peppery spice, garlic, classic Buffalo sauce, and even a hint of an Asian chili sauce mixed in. Not only were they substantially hot, but it’s a sauce I had never tasted before and was certainly a welcomed surprise. Dorian’s wings, on the other hand, were a slight let down. Although the meaty wings were a good size and packed a punch in the heat department, the classic hot sauce flavor lacked depth, and more critically, their extremely soggy skins made them unappetizing after about half a dozen. While the tangy and chunky blue cheese and crispy celery was some of the best in the tournament, the wings themselves were no match for Swallow’s. My mouth may have remained on fire and the sauce may not be classified as Buffalo (despite looking like it was), but Swallow’s easily took the match-up with tender wings, perfectly crispy skins, and a surprisingly bold and original flavor. Winner: Swallow’s
Josef Pulled Into Lorenz Syracuse South Side/SU Hill Game 2 (2) Varsity Pizza’s “Hot” wings: 4 points (3) Chuck’s Cafe’s “Hot” wings: 3 points
Next up was Varsity Pizza taking on Chuck’s Cafe in what would turn out to be a less than exhilarating match-up. Chuck’s hot wings didn’t have much going for them: a thin skin with no crunch, no heat (some of the mildest sauce in the tournament), and a flavor that seemed nonexistent. While the one redeeming quality of Chuck’s was the jumbo-sized wings, Varsity’s wings were able to pick up points where Chuck’s could not with good chicken meat and a medium heat. Despite Varsity winning 4 to 3, I wasn’t too keen on the flavor of the sauce, which was a bit thicker than typical Buffalo sauce, and they also suffered the same fate as Dorian’s with a slight sponginess to them. Both Varsity and Chuck’s were underwhelming, but Varsity was able to move forward and take on Swallow’s in the championship game. Winner: Varsity Pizza
South Side/SU Hill Championship Game (1) Swallow’s “Hot” wings: 5 points (2) Varsity Pizza’s “Hot” wings: 0 points
Even though Swallow’s wings were undermatched in Game 1, it wouldn’t take much for them to pull out a win in this match-up. Varsity’s meat and wing size were above average and on par with Swallow’s, but suffered a shutout in every other category. It’s hard to fault Swallow’s in any aspect with a great amount of

Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency takes on vacant housing in Syracuse
of seizable buildings in the city are occupied
By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com In Syracuse, projects labeled “urban renewal” have garnered a reputation, and it isn’t a good one. But after four decades of relative dormancy, the Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency is energized to take on the most blighted areas of the city, one vacant, uninhabitable or tax delinquent property at a time. In December, SURA established an urban renewal plan, a significant step toward speeding and simplifying the process of reselling vacant lots and deteriorating buildings to developers. “What we’re trying to do now is use this agency as a tool to vet developers that want to develop seizable and vacant properties,” said Katelyn Wright, a land use planner with the Department of Neighborhood and Business Development. The repurposing of SURA -- an agency whose reputation in Syracuse is less than gleaming -- with a comprehensive, long-term plan is huge. But it will be slow going to clean city properties, one by one, using an agency many Syracuse residents distrust.
A disjointed history
The Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency was formed in 1962, a requirement to access new urban renewal funding through the federal government; when the funds dried up in the late 70s, SURA became more or less inactive. But for a span of about 15 years, projects listed under SURA razed historic landmarks, built a concrete barrier through the heart of the city, destroyed entire neighborhoods and displaced their residents. Still, the program was responsible for some great developments, pointed out Dennis Connors, curator of history at the Onondaga Historical Association. The Everson Museum of Art, originally planned as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts, was created largely through urban renewal efforts, Connors said. On the other hand, SURA is widely

More often than not, tenants are living in properties that they’re unaware could be seized.”
considered responsible for wiping out the 15th Ward, demolishing historic Clinton Square and starting projects it couldn’t afford to finish. Around the mid1970s, Connors said, there was a shift toward rehabilitating historic buildings and districts. “There was kind of, like, this ‘aha moment’ and they realized, ‘well, we don’t have to just tear something down and hope something gets built there.’” Hanover Square, Syracuse’s first historic district, is a product of SURA and the urban renewal efforts, Connors said. But not long after that, federal funding dried up and “urban renewal” as a technique was replaced by “community development,” Connors said, and SURA went dormant.
Re-renewal
But after 30 years, SURA is back in action, a big way. Last December, the Common Council approved the agency’s new urban renewal plan outlining areas of the city designated as the most blighted neighborhoods, and setting up a framework for how SURA would be able
The Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency’s new boundaries include Washington Square, the North Side, Prospect Hill, Lincoln Hill and the Hawley-Green area, the Near Eastside, the Near Westside, Southwest neighborhood and South Side, Brighton, Skunk City and the Park Avenue neighborhood. to put seizable properties into the hands of developers with the means and intentions of improving them. “Rather than execute urban renewal plans that involve mega-infrastructure projects, we’re trying to tailor it to address our vacant housing,” said Paul Driscoll, commissioner of neighborhood and business development and the only non-voting member of the SURA board. Why? The bottom line, Driscoll said, is that state law sets very constricting limits on how cities can legally convey property ownership to new owners. Which, in many cases, is a good thing -- a city couldn’t, for example, seize your home solely for the sake of building a new interstate highway on your land. But with 1,647 vacant buildings in Syracuse, finding a more efficient way to turn

Yogi kept the children busy while waiting to have their picture taken with Santa. Yogi and Boo Boo traveled to Carousel Mall for the opening night of the new movie. They were on a red carpet as they greeted movie-goers. Later they were asked to ride the carousel with the children. It was difficult to move through the food court both Friday night and Saturday because so many children and adults wanted their picture with the bears. Saturday, when someone on the carousel spotted Yogi work his way for aother ride, a loud “Yogi Chant� was started that certainly got some attention.

You may have already noticed insects on your trees and shrubs such as tent caterpillars, arborvitae leafminer or pine sawfly on mugo pines. There has also been a good deal of talk about Emerald Ash Borer, which is approaching CNY. Property owners should consult with a certified arborist if they have ash trees to conduct periodic inspections, prompt removal of infested trees and annual treatments by a certified arborist where recommended. Some additional insects to look out for in the next few months include spider mites, viburnum leaf beetle, Japanese beetle and borers. In most cases,
treatment is needed when the insects begins to feed on the plant. In the case of disease, treatment is warranted prior to the appearance of symptoms in order to prevent the disease from spreading later in the season. For example, now is the time to be treating pine and spruce trees to help suppress needlecast, a disease that will cause the needles to brown and drop off the tree during late summer. Another disease that will be prevalent this year is apple scab, which affects many crabapples and flowering trees in Central New York. This should be treated just as the leaves begin to appear in the spring and for a few weeks after leaf bloom. Remember: diseases
are most prevalent and occur in more damaging levels during damp, cool, wet springs like this year. In managing insects and disease, early detection, identification, diagnosis, and a recommended treatment program by a qualified arborist are essential aspects of preventative care. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs have become popular as they focus on cultural issues and aim to reduce the use of pesticides. IPM usually involves a series of four to six visits to a property during the course of the growing season. During each visit, an IPM technician will inspect, monitor and treat (on an as-needed basis) insect and diseases. Additionally, the technician will look at soil conditions,

planting site amendments and cultural practices. It is very important for you to consult with a DEC certified pesticide applicator or certified arborist as soon as you notice insect or disease activity on your property or have concerns in managing your property (prior to an insect or disease outbreak, if possible). They can assist you in determining the nature of the problem, the level of damage that may occur, and how to deal with the problem while remaining environmentally safe. These professionals know how to use, mix and dispose of pesticides properly. The use of pesticides should always be left in the hands of certified professionals.

Syracuse ball club wins season-high 7 in a row By Russ Tarby
The Syracuse Chiefs’ bats came alive and its pitchers shut down the opposition last week as the team racked up seven straight wins. Ever since designated hitter Michael Aubrey tied a franchise record by blasting four home runs in a row on May 14 at Alliance Bank Stadium, the club has been on a tear, sweeping the Norfolk Tides in a four-game series here before bussing to Rochester where the Chiefs beat the Red Wings in three games at Frontier Field. Last week the Chiefs were the hottest team in all of baseball after a dismal month of April in which the club was just 8-15, winding up at the bottom of the International League North Division. Chiefs Manager Randy Knorr never lost faith. “Every team will go through an 8 and 16 stretch at some point in the season,” he told a reporter. “We got ours early…I tried to show them not to panic.” Knorr’s cool, calm attitude comes from experience. Last year, he opened the season at 12-19 with Double-A Harrisburg but eventually made the Eastern League playoffs with a record of 77-65. After their season-high seven-game win streak, the Chiefs are now 19-22, just four games below .500. Aubrey’s awesome power display May 14 led the Chiefs to a 11-0 shutout of the visiting Durham Bulls while right-handed starter Brad Meyers made an auspicious Alliance Bank Syadium debut by holding the Bulls scoreless over seven innings. Rain canceled games against - Syracuse Chiefs Manager the Bulls here May 15-16, before Randy Knorr Norfolk arrived Tuesday, May 17, to face Chiefs right-hander Craig Stammen. The stalwart starter from Ohio allowed three runs over six innings and the bullpen shut down the Tides as Josh Wilkie notched his fourth save in the 4-3 victory. On Wednesday, Yunesky Maya also turned in a quality start, allowing three runs over six-plus innings before the Chiefs’ offense exploded for 10 runs to subdue the Tides 10-3. Aubrey hit his fifth round-tripper while Chiefs newcomers Gregor Blanco, Adam Fox and Matt Antonelli knocked in two runs each, and reliever Adam Carr earned the win. On Thursday, Aubrey again sparked the home team notching four RBI while the Chiefs breezed by the Tides, 9-4 in a convincing comeback victory. Southpaw starter Ross Detwiler enjoyed solid support from bullpen bulldogs Ryan Mattheus, Lee Hyde and Jeff Mandel. On Friday, the Chiefs completed the sweep of Norfolk after Tug Hulett pushed across the deciding run in the tenth inning with a weak grounder that eluded Tides third baseman Joshua Bell to win 5-4. Chiefs shortstop Chris McConnell tallied two RBI with a solid double, and Collin Balester earned the win in relief.

Chiefs’ right-hander Craig Stammen was credited with two of the victories during the team’s season-high seven-game win streak last week. Chiefs left-hander Tommy Milone pitched a brilliant seven innings Saturday in Rochester allowing just three hits while striking out nine. His catcher, Jhonatan Solano, had the game-winning RBI as the Chiefs shut out their Thruway rivals 2-0 for their sixth straight win. On Sunday, Chiefs first baseman Chris Marrero and catcher Jesus Flores each homered to pace Syracuse to a 9-3 win over the Red Wings. Stammen earned his fourth W of the year, and Balester pitched three scoreless innings to preserve the club’s seventh in a row. The Chiefs return home Thursday to start a four-game series against the Charlotte Knights. Games are 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday May 26-28, and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 29, at Alliance Bank Stadium.

those properties around has become a priority. And while SURA is governed by a board comprised of the mayor, Common Council president, commissioner of finance, and commissioner of business and neighborhood development, the agency is a separate entity from the city government and operates under different restrictions. Driscoll described SURA as a sort of purgatory into which vacant, tax delinquent or underutilized properties can be inventoried until a developer proposes a new plan for the property. Driscoll said SURA, unlike the city, is granted two specific authorities by state law that will make it an effective tool for rehabilitating Syracuse’s vacant housing. First, the agency can sell properties for below their assessed value. Which means SURA can establish a selling price for a property that takes into account the amount of money the new owner would put into the building to bring it up to code or make it inhabitable, Driscoll said. Second, SURA is required to include a clause that holds new owners to executing the plans they agree to prior to the sale. If a new owner agrees to bring a property up to code within a year of the sale, and they fail to do so, SURA has the authority to take ownership of that property, Driscoll said. “Would we? Probably not, but it builds in flexibility that general municipal law doesn’t have,” he said. Driscoll also noted that SURA has the power of eminent domain. “That’s a tool in the toolbox, but we have no intention of using it,” he said.
Slow and steady
But the process is slow going: since Jan. 1, when SURA’s plan became effective and their new mission launched, no properties have been seized. Partly, Driscoll said, because there’s a long process of notifying property owners -- twice -- that their property is tax delinquent and will be seized. “We have roughly 20 properties in the

pipeline, but most of them are in that waiting period,” he said. It’s not all red tape, though. “We’re purposely moving slowly on this,” Driscoll said. “This is a new thing for the city and a new thing for SURA. SURA will be depending on the city to help maintain these properties when they fall into SURA inventory; we don’t want to get overwhelmed.” Driscoll said the goal is to seize fewer than 50 properties by the end of the year. Katelyn Wright, a land use developer in the Department of Neighborhood and Business Development, was aware of the reputation SURA has in the city. “One thing that is a challenge is we’re operating with this name that is kind of loaded,” she said. Wright pointed out another obstacle: “Seventy-five percent of seizable properties in the city are not vacant,” Wright said. Many of them are not owner-occupied, which means seizing those buildings would be putting tenants -- renters not responsible for paying the taxes -- out of a home. “That’s a situation we’re feeling out very carefully,” Wright said. She said a program is being set up to help relocate tenants in unfit buildings. “It’s not something we’ve done yet but we realize it is a scenario we’re going to run into,” she added. To view the list of seizable buildings and vacant lots within the SURA boundaries, or a map of the designated SURA area, visit theeaglecny.com.

Around Town Camillus Memorial Day ceremonies honor Pat Fletcher
How did you start as a promoter?
“Way back in the day, I worked with local bands all through the 80s, travelled the bar circuit, which back then was huge for bands. Then I worked for both a large scale concert lighting and sound production company, travelling regionally doing large scale venues with acts such as Liza Minelli, Rodney Dangerfield, The Robert Cray Band, South Side Johnny, Sam Kinison, Chaka Kahn, Spyro Gyra and lots of one-off dates with bands such as Charlie Daniels, Starship, Phish - when they were just a college band - just to name a few.”
We interviewed Ed and Patricia Fletcher for this story on Wednesday May 19. Patricia, 73, died unexpectedly on Friday May 21. As of Monday, parade committee chairs were hopeful that Ed would serve as the parade’s sole marshal. Patricia will be honored at Memorial Day ceremonies throughout the day. For some 40 years, Ed and Patricia Fletcher were affiliated with the Camillus Memorial Day Parade. For this year’s parade on Monday May 30, they were selected to be grand marshals. “It’s great, once in a lifetime,” said Ed Fletcher, who was parade chair for 43 years before stepping down two years ago due to fading vision. Pat was his side through it all. “I’m really proud,” he added. This year’s 65th annual parade is chaired by Don Laxton and Bernard Bunce and will feature the alumni band, which returns every five years. Around 400 current and former West Genesee Marching Band members are expected to line up for the parade, which begins at 9:30 a.m. at the top of the hill in the village of Camillus. Prior to that will be the annual 5k run. The band will be one of more than 40 groups marching in the parade “It’s overwhelming to me, it’s got to be so big today, so big,” said Ed Fletcher about the parade that is put on by Camillus veterans. “It’s unbelievable what we first started and now … We were lucky if you had 28 participants, now it’s up in the 40s.” If Ed rides in a convertible during the parade this year his driver will be Bunce, who is also the Camillus American Legion Commander. Ed was in the Navy during the Korean War years and upon his return to Central New York he and Pat were married in 1957. They have lived in the same house on Elm Street in the village ever since. Ed has been affiliated with the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Camillus for about 40 years — 13 years as commander. Pat was with the Camillus VFW Ladies Auxiliary for 39 years and was a past president of the New York State VFW Ladies Auxiliary. “It’s important to belong to a veterans’ organization, no matter which one it is, because they have all the information on what’s available out there [for veterans],” said Pat Fletcher. Ed served eight terms (16 years) as mayor of the village and was once a village trustee. Patricia was the town of Camillus receiver of taxes for 16 years and was previously Camillus town clerk for 10 years. After the May 30 parade, Ed may be part of the program at the Memorial Day services held
What was the biggest show you brought to Baldwinsville?
“I would say the last few years has been the 93Q Summer Island Jam. We usually get close to 3,000 people at those shows. We also have another great line up for that show coming up on Monday June 6.
Ed and Patricia Fletcher in front of the senior center. Awards will be presented and Col. Charles Dorsey, Vice Commander of the 174th New York Air National Guard, will speak. Memorial Day festivities will start at 7:30 a.m. Monday May 30 with a veterans’ dedication at the Municipal Building, 4600 West Genesee St.

Back stage at Paper Mill Island
Paper Mill Island will begin rocking this weekend. Friday night features an opening set by Just Joe, followed by 3 Inch Fury then Under the Gun. These great acts are brought to the venue by Baldwinsville resident Mike Chemotti. While he isn’t the only promoter for Paper Mill Island, he certainly boasts the most extensive resume having easily brought in more than 100 acts over the past 10 years. The Messenger editor Erin Wisneski recently caught up with the very busy Chemotti to learn more about the man behind the stage.
What are your ties to the Baldwinsville community?
“I moved here in 1990 and rented a floor in the house that I now own. I was one of those people that left town on the weekends years ago. Along with promoting Papermill Island, I am a partner in The B’ville Diner as well, so I have a strong interest in the success for all local business, here in B’ville.”
Why do you do it?
“It’s show business, baby! It gets in your blood, it’s entertainment. You work hard to put on a show, the weather is right, the band is good, people come out and just forget about their everyday grind, and just have a good time. There are two perspectives in this business: being in the crowd, looking up at the band and being on stage and looking out into the crowd. Not too many people experience both, no matter what the size of the venue.”
How would you describe the bands you bring to Paper Mill Island?
“In recent years, most of the bands I have promoted on the Island are tribute bands from Canada, New York City area and points south from here. They are typically bands you will not see in this area all the year through, so when they do come to town, people that like to see or hear that band make it a point to come out to our show.”
What can people expect for the coming season?
“Another great summer of talented musicians playing the amphitheater for sure, and lots of dry weather we hope. With such a terrible winter and spring, I think people are ready for a lot of outdoor activities and we hope that our shows are in their plans!”
Where can people find your schedule of events for this summer?
“Go to island-fest.com for updates and show schedules and we also have Papermill Island on Facebook. Don’t forget, Friday July 1 - we have an AeroSmith Tribute band from Boston and we will kick off the Independence Day weekend
with a fireworks show sponsored by the B’ville Diner.”

JE meets new superintendent
The Jordan-Elbridge school board last Wednesday unanimously approved the contract of the district’s next superintendent of schools. James Froio, who has been principal at CiceroNorth Syracuse High School since 2004, was selected for the top job at JE in April. Froio attended the meeting and told a roomful of residents that when the news first broke at J-E, he turned to a close friend of his at C-NS High School and said, “When that superintendent seat opens up, I’m applying there.” Jordan-Elbridge High School Principal David Zehner was put on paid suspension in September just days into the school year, which was followed by news that Superintendent Marilyn Dominick, scheduled to retire early in November, was being forced out by the school board. Froio told residents that he knew they’d heard their share of rhetoric, and they might be “somewhat skeptical of words.” “July 1 is when the action starts, and I will by embarking on a series of listening sessions throughout this community, throughout all the schools, to hear what you have to say,” Froio said. “And as we do that together, we will forge a pact designed to help us do what we’re all here to do: create the best educational environment we can for our kids. I’m very confident that we’ll be able to do that. The road is going to be difficult and hard, and there will be disagreements along the way, I have no doubt. But there is a silver lining to all of this, and you know what it is? It’s your kids.” Froio said he recently spoke with some “extraordinary high school students at JordanElbridge,” and asked them if they were proud of their school. “They said, absolutely. They said, ‘We’re proud to be Jordan-Elbridge Eagles,’” Froio said. “I thought what a remarkable statement for these young people to make because they realize that the actions that have occurred – that they have had no control over – should not be a reflection on them. And they know that. They are proud to be Jordan-Elbridge Eagles.”

The Everson announced last week that Robert Doucette and George W. Curry will be the recipients of the 2011 Everson Medal, awarded at the Annual Everson Picnic at 6 p.m. June 16 on the Everson Community Plaza. The Everson Summer Picnic honors those who have been pillars of the community and have shaped Central New York through their gifts of leadership and strong conviction that art and creative expression enhance our quality of life.
Steven Kern, Everson executive director, cited Curry and Doucette’s “visionary work� that “transformed the heart of Syracuse with the re-development of Armory Square, providing a platform for arts and culture to thrive downtown.� Reservations are required to participate in this memorable arts inspired evening. Tickets are available for $200 per person. Tables, advertising and sponsorship opportunities are also available. As one of the Everson’s most important annual fundraisers, proceeds from the picnic directly benefit the museum’s special exhibition and education programming. To make reservations call 474-6064.
