Politically at least, the year started off with a bang as a batch of new legislators were introduced in the Tompkins County Legislature, including Henry Granison, Amanda Champion, Shawna Black, Anne Koreman and Deborah Dawson. All of them, it seemed, had one way or another been inspired to involve themselves with local politics after the 2016 elections, which had a profound impact on a heightened awareness of the importance of local government participation, particularly, it seems, among liberals. It was quite a month for educational news in the area. First came the announcement that New Roots Charter School would be seeking to expand their reach, and possibly their available space, by requesting permission from the SUNY Charter School Institute to begin educating middle schoolers in addition to their current high school services. No update has been given on those plans, though they were met with resistance by the Ithaca City School District Board of Education. The Board, though, was dealing with its own controversy over its vaccination policy, which some local parents complained was a violation of their religious rights and amounted to coercion to vaccinate their children. Not to mention, in what would go on to become one of the biggest stories of 2018’s early months, a controversy involving

race and The Hunchback of Notre Dame began unfolding in the drama department at Ithaca High School. The discussion arose after a white student was cast in the lead role of the play, which was being produced as the school’s spring show, but a group of students objected, writing letters and detailing years of what they said were either obtuse or insensitive choices regarding roles for people of color in the drama department’s productions. Other news and notes: the plans for a trash incinerator that would have taken up the former Seneca Army Depot enraged area environmental activists, while Challenge Workforce Solutions and the Ithaca YMCA celebrated their 50th and 150th anniversaries, respectively. And to add a quick sports note: Ithaca High School and Ithaca College alum Eli Gobrecht was drafted by the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse. FEBRUARY

Annually, February is used to celebrate Black History Month, which was exactly the goal of ICSD’s 14th annual Black History Day, which included over a dozen presenters spread throughout Boynton Middle School teaching students specifically about different aspects of race and the journey of minorities through America’s history. The session was highlighted by a discussion held by Dr. Nia Nunn and Nydia Boyd, Southside Community

Center’s President of the Board of Directors and Executive Director respectively, designed to introduce some of the uncomfortable truths regarding race and racism that students might not be cognizant of in middle school. Unfortunately, Ithaca lost another one of its valuable television news stations this month as well. Charter Communications, which was already spectacularly unpopular in the area for a litany of reasons, announced in February that it would be eliminating PBS affiliate WSKG, based out of Binghamton, in favor of Syracuse based WCNY. They had already pulled Elmirabased WENY off the airwaves just prior to the WSKG announcement, and both were known to cover Ithaca more extensively than their Syracuse counterparts. In one of the first signs that she could emerge victorious from the now-crowded Democratic primary field vying for the nomination for New York’s 23rd Congressional District seat, Tracy Mitrano easily won the Ithaca Straw Poll, besting six other candidates. All were, of course, hoping to secure the nomination with visions of defeating incumbent Representative Tom Reed. Ithaca took an ugly hit in the middle of the month, as racist graffiti was discovered at the skate park before residents rallied to come out to the park to clean it up and paint over it. That same week, concerns began to arise over the growing number of homeless people in and around Ithaca, particularly in the de facto homeless enclave the Jungle, which would continue to be a topic of conversation throughout the year, particularly as winter came. Other news and notes from this month: Democrat Charles Whalen dropped out of the aforementioned primary race, shrinking the field by one, while Cornell announced its intentions to fortify its New York City presence by signing leases for 4  T

theoretically make such an energy alternative viable. It was also announced that Ithaca once again ranked among the nation’s highest in Peace Corps participation, largely fueled by an intense interest among Cornell students.

As the country was shaken by yet another mass school shooting, this time at Parkland High School in Florida in February, students around the country began organizing, taking the lead of several student leaders from the Parkland school who began fighting for gun control through public appearances and activism. The most prominent example of that was on March 14, when students at Ithaca High School and Lehmann Alternative Community School walked out of classes protesting for greater school safety from guns, part of a nationwide walkout plan. The school district began examining plans to better outfit its schools for the, unfortunately, ever present chance of an attack. It was a relatively quiet month for the NY23 Democratic primary, although presumed frontrunner Tracy Mitrano did face several challenges to her policy stances, particularly from progressives who either felt she wasn’t being clear enough in her views or felt she was too centrist. The City of Ithaca ended the hotlyanticipated proposal process for the Green Street Garage redevelopment, which yielded all of…. One proposal! The $123 million project from Ithaca-Peak Development, led by local developer Jeff Rimland, was mammoth and, since it was the only option, looked like a shoo-in. Of course, if our dear readers have been following along recently, that didn’t happen in the end. But that wasn’t even close to the end of the Green Street Garage saga, so there’ll be much, much more on that later. As for a partial conclusion to the earlier story about the turmoil in the Ithaca High School drama department, the production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” was pulled over the uproar and replaced by “Hairspray.” Fueled by the students group Students United, the play was successfully produced despite an intense time crunch,

led by former Ithaca High School theater director Joey Steinhagen. The overall reaction from students: triumph and relief. “I was feeling so trapped and I felt like I couldn’t do anything, because I was going to be judged,” Sophomore Zhyana Masker said, words that likely felt improbable months prior. “But they don’t judge you here. It’s like we all understand each other. We all feel so connected in ways you never thought we’d feel connected.” But, for all the good feeling that situation’s resolution entailed, tragedy is unavoidable and struck Ithaca in March. Officer Colin Toland, a beloved honorary member of the Ithaca Police Department, passed away at the age of 10 after a long battle with a rare brain disease. He was honored with a community gathering and funeral procession. Other news and notes from the month of March: Two professors from Cornell University and Ithaca College, Maureen Hanson and Betsy Keller, announced they had received $9.4 million to research treatments for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a debilitating disease that still stumps medical professionals. WVBR, Ithaca’s long-time rock and roll radio staple, pivoted by rebranding to a more modern sound, albeit losing some its personal local touch. The Finger Lakes Thaw Festival held its inaugural event, positioning itself at the end of March to serve as the official start to festival season. Oh, and we got to talk to Weird Al Yankovic.

Meanwhile, an odd situation that continues to this day was sparked back in April by the suspension and subsequent firing of New Roots Charter School music teacher David Ferreira, accused of touching a student inappropriately (though he, the student, and the student’s family all deny the incident), as well as several other instances of untoward behavior. He would go on to file a lawsuit against the school to retain his position, a suit that is still pending as of last knowledge. Other news and notes from April: A Newfield couple detailed losing their favorite brand of soap, only to create their own that is now sold nationwide. Also, New York governor candidate Cynthia Nixon claimed that Ithaca was the gateway to upstate New York, setting off the dumbest tongue-in-cheek debate in history and apparently not hurting her favorability among Ithacans whatsoever. Additionally, longtime Ithaca media figure and Ithaca College professor Jeff Cohen announced his retirement from the school, capping a career spent fighting for the importance and vitality of press freedom. MAY

The month of May saw Board of Education elections for the Ithaca City School District. Remember that wave of interest mentioned in January, regarding the introduction of the new Tompkins County candidates? That carried over to the school board as well, as six candidates, three incumbents and three challengers, though all incumbents (Ann Reichlin, Moira Lang and Nicole LaFave) retained their seats, despite the aforementioned rockiness of 2018’s earlier months for the BOE. The fun wasn’t over with the Green Street Garage redevelopment either. After public disappointment with the IthacaPeak proposal, plus questions as to why only one development, nonetheless from the developer who suggested the redevelopment initially, was received, the City of Ithaca decided to reopen the bidding process, soliciting proposals until the end of July. Other news and notes from May: The Town of Ithaca, seeking ways to deal with an overpopulation of deer, saw its management plan for the pesky critters gain support among citizens who were tired of the deer carrying ticks and eating plants, clearing the way for harmful invasive species to grow. The race for Tompkins County Sheriff, which would be decided in November, saw former officer Derek Osborne join the running, seeking to replace incumbent Sheriff Ken Lansing. Plus, May saw the birth of one of the more uplifting stories of 2018: Ithaca rapper Adan Morrone’s quest to become famous based off of a song dedicated to his favorite brand of iced tea, Snapple. There’s even a video now! Plus, we took a walk-through of the mammoth South Hill Chain Works District site, which still must be cleaned up.

APRIL

April got off to an exciting start for the city, as the long-awaited (and muchrumored) detox center was finally announced, kicked off by a visit from U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). It will be operated by the Alcohol and Drug Council of Tompkins County, which had previously announced its intentions to build a detox treatment center in 2017, though it required more funding. The status of funding, and of construction, are not currently known, but when Schumer and Alcohol and Drug Council Executive Director Angela Sullivan announced the plan, it proposed 40 beds of 24/7 access and care. After the retirement of Tompkins County Administrator Joe Mareane, including an emotional send-off to the beloved county leader, 38 year-old Jason Molino was selected as Mareane’s successor and began the job in early 2018. Molino, who had most recently served as the City Manager in Batavia, New York and arrived to quite a bit of optimism, began laying out his vision for Tompkins County’s future in a fairly pivotal time in the county’s history.

JUNE

The most important story in June didn’t come until the end of the month: the Democratic primary for the NY23 Congressional seat. Five candidates (Tracy Mitrano, Max Della Pia, Linda Andrei, Ian Ja n ua ry

Golden and Eddie Sundquist) had withstood a long campaign in which several struggled to get much attention at all, a result of the crowded field even after a few drop-outs on the way. By the time the final contest was afoot, it seemed that either Mitrano, viewed as more left, or Della Pia, viewed as more centrist, would seize the nomination, and that played out; but only after a bit of drama. Della Pia led the race going into absentee ballot counting, but Mitrano overtook him there and was declared the victor. Sticking with politics, despite her earlier faux pas, Cynthia Nixon made her first visit to Ithaca, wowing the crowd of progressives at the Argos Inn and further solidifying herself as the choice for governor for liberal Ithaca and Tompkins County over incumbent Andrew Cuomo. In local development news, Northside residents began floating the idea of a development moratorium in their neighborhood, similar to the pseudo-moratorium that was enacted on South Hill. South Hill’s calls for action, though, were heeded because of a perceived ceding of the neighborhood to student renters and away from families, something that Northside residents don’t have tangible evidence of, yet, but are clearly worried about. Area environmental activists, meanwhile, were inflamed when Lansing’s Cayuga Power Plant announced plans to repower one of its two on-site power turbines with natural gas after years of bargaining over coal usage. While proponents of the plan, like Tompkins County legislator Mike Sigler, say the environmental cost is necessary to retain jobs the power plant provides, groups like Mothers Out Front have been vocal about what they say is undue danger presented by the natural gas repowering, as well as steps backward in terms of moving toward a cleaner energy future. Other news and notes from June: Pride 2018 saw another successful year, uniting the area’s LGBT community with a series of events held throughout the month of June. The plans for Press Bay Court, on Green Street, continued to evolve as more tenants were introduced, including a halal grocery store, One Ring Donuts pop-up shops, a bridal shop and others. And in more tragic Ithaca news, longtime activist and civil rights icon Dorothy Cotton passed away in June, leaving behind a shining legacy of social justice work and leadership. JULY

City of Ithaca off-guard, as no contingency plan appeared to be in place and though the owners agreed to stick around a few more months to ease the transition, the city’s attempt to utilize Green Street near the Tompkins County Public Library as a bus stop has seen mixed results. In a long-requested change, the City of Ithaca amended its tax abatement policies, now stating that in order to receive a tax abatement recommendation from the city, a project would have to provide a minimum of 20 percent affordable housing units (unless some other community benefit is significant enough to warrant abatement). That reform, among others made a the same time, was made to ensure affordable housing would be effectively subsidized going forward, and done so in a fair manner. Previously, affordable housing advocates had railed against the city for allowing developers to build densely, but to do so only with luxury or high-income apartments that would almost guarantee lucrative returns for developers. Other news and notes from the month of June: Speaking of tax abatements, GreenStar was awarded a tax break for its well-received expansion plans, which call for a sizably-larger building constructed in the West End complete with two floors, office space and an eating area. Environmental activists scored a victory when the Crestwood storage facility, slated for construction beneath Seneca Lake, was rejected by New York State. A little snooping found that New York State Senator Tom O’Mara, representing the 58th District including Tompkins County, spent half of his campaign funds on food and entertainment. The Commons Fountain also broke down for what feels like the umpteenth time, and the gigantic Maplewood Apartments project proved a bit too big to finish on schedule, as dozens of students were delayed from moving in for weeks into the school year. AUGUST

August was packed to the gills with news. First, and not for the last time, Green Street Garage was in the news, as the city finally received all four proposals to redevelop the site with a mixture of housing, parking, a conference center, a grocery store, etc. You name it, it was probably in one of the proposals, which came from Newman/Visum, Harold’s Holdings, Ithaca-Peak and Vecino Group, who impressed city officials with their fully affordable housing proposal. As for two local favorites getting some money and putting it towards helping the community: Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services received a grant that allowed it to introduce its withdrawal services in October, expanding its ability to help those recovering from addiction, while Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit was awarded over $2 million that will be allocated to purchasing several electric buses and charging stations, hopefully to start a further conversion of TCAT’s fleet. Don’t look now, but August may have shown some of the early signs of a student housing market bubble as well. It’s long been discussed as a possibility, but vacan-

cies have very recently been climbing as landlords struggle to fill their units in areas where a mere five or so years ago that would have seemed impossible. Like we said, so much happened in August, so here we go: Another hopeful new annual music tradition announced it was coming to town, in the Finger Lakes Liftoff show, which included live painting, three performances from local bands and a professionally designed light show. Also, the long and ugly back-and-forth between former Office of Human Rights Director Karen Baer and Tompkins County finally came to what seems like a final conclusion, as her lawsuit against the county for discrimination was dismissed. Baer was fired in 2017 but her turbulent departure carried over into much of 2018. New local favorite Thompson and Bleecker opened on the Commons, and has been very well received by… everybody. Ah, and lest we forget, our Student Guide cover, featuring a fully functional voter registration form, went very viral online. You can still pick one up from us, but you have to ask nicely. In sad news, Stellar Stereo announced it was shutting its doors after more than 40 years. SEPTEMBER

September was all about the air. Namely, the airport and airplanes. Airport Day was held, which featured the revitalization of a antique Tommy plane, a 100-year old vehicle that was flown for the first time in decades at the annual celebration. The state’s Department for Environmental Conservation, meanwhile, declared that the Ithaca Gun site presented a “significant threat to public health or the environment.” The decision was made based on high lead levels in the soil at the site, which is currently slated for redevelopment by Travis-Hyde Properties, which wishes to build a senior housing project there. Travis-Hyde has submitted a remediation proposal for the site, which is likely still being considered. Certain races had their primaries held in mid-September as well. Cynthia Nixon, fresh off a second visit to Ithaca with Attorney General candidate Zephyr Teachout was defeated by incumbent Andrew Cuomo (as was Teachout, by Tish James). Lieutenant Governor candidate Jumaane Williams also fell in his primary after visiting Ithaca. There appears to be a theme here. The Rescue Mission, Ithaca’s lone homeless shelter, had announced in July that it was closing, a result of bickering between Tompkins County and the Rescue Mission parent organization. But in September, it was announced that a replacement had been found and approved, in St. John’s Community Services, ensuring that for the most part, services for the homeless would not entirely lapse once the Rescue Mission’s contract ended at the end of October. Other news and notes from September: Another update on Green Street Garage, as Vecino Group’s affordable housing proposal, Asteri Ithaca, began to look like the leading contender for selection after it

trounced all other proposals in a pointsbased process that helped city officials determine which projects they should advance for discussion. Cornell’s sprawling North Campus Residential Expansion, which would bring 2,000 undergraduate beds to Cornell’s campus, faced a barrage of energy-usage questions as local advocates condemned the school’s plan to use natural gas in the new buildings. Senior housing project Cayuga View got its grand opening. OCTOBER

In what amounts to an update from a cover story in December 2017, the Community Gardens reached a tentative agreement with Cayuga Medical Center (CMC) and the City of Ithaca to keep its location. The gardens’ future had been in a precarious position, some thought, when CMC began assessing the property for medical service expansion downtown in hopes of increasing their presence in Ithaca, though it now appears their future is secure. In a story in the Ithaca Times, New York State Senate candidate Amanda Kirchgessner was accused of years of physical and verbal abuse by her ex-wife, who provided audio, police reports and pictures to verify her claims. Despite the accusations, Kirchgessner went on to say she was being “Brett Kavanaugh’d,” a reference to the current Supreme Court Justice, remained in the race and won 75 percent of Tompkins County, though she lost the district race to Republican Tom O’Mara. After what looked like a beautiful friendship was blooming earlier in the year, when the arrival of LimeBikes was hailed as a welcome transportation innovation, things turned a bit sour between the City of Ithaca and LimeBike in the latter months of the year as criticism mounted from a certain vocal minority in the city. That led to LimeBike’s proposal for an e-Scooter pilot program to be put on hold until at least Spring 2019. Other news and notes from October: The lawsuit brought by the Hornbrook Road property owners after their house was destroyed in an infamous 2015 standoff was dismissed by a New York State Supreme Court judge. The city remained hopeful about its decision to use Green Street as a temporary intercity bus stop. Others were less enthusiastic. The Ithaca Police Department continued its pleas for more funding for staff, reiterating their claims that they are “at a breaking point” due to staff shortages and lack of incoming money for more officers. It was also discovered that Tompkins County could lose up to $400,000 in the next year as a result of a downturn in the global recycling market. Former Lansing wrestler Kyle Dake won the international UWW World Wrestling Championships. The problems in Ithaca’s homeless Jungle came under the microscope, showing increased population, violence and calls for emergency services. NOVEMBER

The biggest story of November, much as it was nationwide, was the midterm elections. Unlike in June, this political saga broke early, as the much-ballyhooed blue

wave carried Democrats around the country to victories varying from toss-ups to unlikely. This did not, however, do much to help Tompkins County Democrat Tracy Mitrano, who fell to incumbent Republican Tom Reed in the NY23 race despite a late surge in fundraising that gave her a glimmer of hope. In another contested race, Derek Osborne easily defeated Ken Lansing and newcomer Josh Brokaw in the Tompkins County Sheriff ’s race. Perhaps the biggest story, though, was the massive turnout the midterm elections inspired, particularly locally. Tompkins County surpassed its previous record for turnout in a midterm election ever, and even approached numbers only previously seen in presidential election years. In a story that is sure to continue into the new year, the Old Library demolition, finally slated to begin after a lengthy wait, came under heavy fire from local residents and environmentalists who argued the decision to knock down the building while remediating it for asbestos was irresponsible compared to cleaning the asbestos out first. Other news and notes from November: Local Paul Brenner was inducted into the Ultimate Frisbee Hall of Fame.

If this year seemed like it was filled with environmental news, that’s because it was. Ithaca Beer, the popular regional brewer and distributor, was found to be in significant noncompliance by the EPA and ordered to fix problems with discharge from their plant in the Town of Ithaca. Unfortunately, they were

unable to fix their issues, leading to the issuance of a compliance order by the Town and the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility. Finally, after over a year of issues, Ithaca Beer presented plans to construct a $300,000 pre-treatment system to hopefully cure the problem. And in the final Green Street Garage update: Vecino Group was selected as the preferred developer for the lucrative redevelopment site, and now have until early next year to negotiate a final deal with the city for the purchase of the land. The Tompkins County Legislature also voted to approve a letter to the NYS government supporting the statewide legalization of marijuana, a law that is currently being discussed at the state level. That came shortly before Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his new-found tentative support for marijuana legalization, after previously being staunchly opposed. Maybe that brief primary scare from Cynthia Nixon changed a few things. Other news and notes from the end of 2018: The Ithaca Times also detailed the path back from horrible injury for Josh Oxford, a local musician who is now trying to adapt after a nearly fatal car accident left him with long-term injuries. The State Theatre, a mainstay of downtown Ithaca, celebrated its 90th birthday with several celebratory events held, ending with Don McLean.

ver the course of last year, strides have been made to detach any and all stigmas from issues regarding mental health, though obviously work remains to be done. Some organizations, however, have been working toward this goal for some time already, such as the Mental Health Association of Tompkins County (MHATC). MHATC was founded as part of a national organization, Mental Health America, which works in the community to both further education on mental health and help those who are suffering from a mental illness. MHA was founded in the twentieth century by Clifford Beers, who was confined to a psychiatric hospital at several points in his life. During these times, he experienced mistreatment at the

Kendal at Ithaca

Providing care for a family member or friend takes a toll on the caregiver in a number of ways, one of which is sleep deprivation. According to a recent analysis of the sleep of 43 people aged 50 and older, who were the primary caregiver for a family member with dementia, more than nine out of ten (92%) of the study participants experienced poor sleep quality, awoke frequently, and typically slept less than six hours per night (below the recommended total of seven or eight hours). This is only one factor to take into account when considering the need for nursing home care or supplemental in-home nursing care. Family caregivers

place their own health in jeopardy when pressed too far. Getting a good night’s sleep is not only necessary in order for you to take care of yourself, it is also necessary in terms of the quality of care you give your loved one. Call the marketing team at (607) 266-5300 to schedule a tour to see our facilities and learn more about lifecare at Kendal at Ithaca. Find us on the web at http://kai.kendal.org/ P.S. The family caregivers who took part in the study mentioned above experienced an increase in their “sleep latency,” the amount of time it took for them to fall asleep. 2230 N.

The Sports Year In Review By Ste ve L aw re nc e

A

s we toss out the old calendar (does anyone else have one these days?) and hang up the new one, I’d like to look back at 2018 and remember some of the people about whom I wrote. If I had 7,000 words rather than 700 I could do a better job, but here we go... The story that got far and away the most feedback was the one about Cal Addy and his family. The Addys are a much-loved family in these parts, and when they lost their oldest son Max four years ago, there was an outpouring of love and support the likes of which I have rarely seen. A few weeks ago, Cal Addy, who followed his father and brother into the profession of “lineman,” was on top of a 40-foot pole while working to help the good people of North Carolina recover from a brutal storm. The pole went down, and while Cal was banged up considerably, he was not paralyzed, he did not suffer a life-changing head injury, and most importantly, he made it. That was, based on the feedback I got, the best news of 2018. I have written about Kyle Dake since

he was in 7th grade, and when he won his fourth NCAA title in 2013, many wondered if he could climb any higher. That question was answered when he went to Budapest in November to represent Team USA at the World Championships. Any questions about whether Dake could hang in there with the world’s elite were answered clearly when he took the mat four times, scored 30-some points, gave up zero and utterly dominated the field in winning his first World title. Let’s hope an Olympic appearance is next. Speaking of playing with the world’s best, Ithaca College grad Tim Locastro was thrilled to get the call that he was traded from the L.A. Dodgers to the N.Y. Yankees, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Tim played in 20-some games in “The Bigs” for L.A., and he is busting his tail in the gym, batting cages and the pool to maximize this opportunity. We said goodbye to some fine folks in 2018, and when you see Frank Welch’s name, please do not panic. Frank is still with us, he just retired from coaching lacrosse at Ithaca High after 40-plus years. Welch sent some talented and hard-work-

Cal Addy, who continues to work his way back from an injury suffered while working on a telephone pole in North Carolina. (Photo provided)

ing players on to play at all levels of collegiate lacrosse, and many college coaches conveyed to me that they knew that if a player came through Welch’s program, he would be fundamentally sound and well-prepared. Congrats, Frank, on a great career.

We mourned the passing of Brian Hough, a tireless player in the Ithaca Adult Hockey League, as he was among those lost in that horrific limo crash a couple of months ago. Brian taught at S.U.N.Y. Oswego, but road-tripped to Ithaca to get some good ice time with his friends. We also grieved the loss of Amaan Grewal, who graduated from Ithaca High School in 2017 and passed from cancer at 18. The football program at I.H.S. loved him, and admired the fact that he videotaped their games when he became too ill to play. We said goodbye to the feisty, crusty and indomitable Dell Grover, who was plowing snow and giving everyone hell well into his 80’s. Del was a fine athlete, a tough coach and a “don’t-give-me-anycrap” referee, and if there was a pile-up at a football game, it was not uncommon to see Dell emerge from the bottom of it. He was a character. I felt really bad for Del’s son, Billy, as he also lost his brother Bobby Reed, widely known as one of the finest golfers ever to come out of this area. Bobby played at Ithaca High, captained the team at Cornell, and went on to Florida to enjoy a stellar career as a golf course manager, a teaching pro, an official who actually helped out with NBC’s coverage of professional golf. For me, 2018 was Year # 26 of doing my best to connect people through storytelling. I hope to keep doing it for a long time, so keep those story ideas coming! Happy New Year, my friends.

THE GOOD STUFF To be honest, the most fun I had this year at the movies was introducing, and then watching, two screenings of “Yellow Submarine” at Cinemapolis in July. After a night spent seeing my favorite movie on the big screen in 5.1 stereo sound and a 4K hand-corrected print, everything else was gravy. There’s something fitting about Stan Lee passing away the year that “Black Panther” made all that money, got all that deserved attention and brought new moviegoers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe—like your parents. It’s great that for the first time since “Blade,” people of color can have a sense of recognition of their culture at the movies, even in comic book form. It’s a measure of how entertaining Ryan Coogler’s movie is that many supporting characters in the “Black Panther” universe’s

Wakanda could carry their own spin-off movies; the more the merrier. And then came “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” I’m old school Golden Age Peter Parker, so the introduction of black teen Miles Morales and a host of other spider-spin-off characters was all new to me. (Next to Doctor Strange’s cape’s reaction to Peter Parker name-dropping “Aliens” in “Infinity War,” my new favorite thing may be Spider-Ham, a.k.a. Peter Porker.) The combination of CG and 2-D animation is perfect for Spider-Man stories, and the notion that the character is popular because he (or she) could be anyone inside that costume. In so many cool ways, this is the most inclusive and far-thinking Spidey film yet. Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” is the kind of thing only he could make: an epic about man and man’s best friend as a combination of Rankin-Bass holiday TV specials and the films of Akira Kurosawa. The tale of a boy stranded on an island of outcast canines, “Isle of Dogs” has that spiky Anderson unsentimental thing

about it – even the fish don’t thrive here. The big joke is just how overwhelmed the pooches are by their need for human contact. And as you’d expect in an Anderson movie, the voice cast is eclectic and impeccable. There are days when I think “The Incredibles” isn’t just the best Pixar movie but the best superhero movie ever made. So it’s pretty amazing that Brad Bird’s “The Incredibles 2” stands head, shoulders and cowl with the original, which it picks up from the second the sequel begins. Bird flips the plot in just the right way, and 14 years later, the animation is even better. In the enchanting “Mary and the Witch’s Flower,” a young girl is gifted with a flower that grants her magical powers, but only for one night. And in the energetic and cheeky “Teen Titans Go! To the Movies,” all the young DC heroes crack wise for 87 minutes in a story about—what else?—the proliferation of all these comic book movies. continued on page 12

MOVIES Contin u ed From Page 11

I still don’t know why anyone would find “Solo: A Star Wars Story” lacking in any way. To my mind, this “When Han Met Chewie” prequel is the only good stand-alone Star Wars film and the most entertaining thing Ron Howard’s made since Apollo 13. Ditto Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One,” the “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” of pop-culture Easter eggs. I can’t wait to sit down with the Blu-Ray and spot every one in Spielberg’s loopy but fun mash-up of “Tron” and “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.” Just when I thought I hadn’t seen a great puzzle movie in a while, along came Drew Goddard’s Bad Times at the El Royale. Set during one stormy night at a retro motor inn somewhere unnamed on the West Coast, Jon Hamm, Jeff Bridges and other strange characters show up, in a story loaded with flashbacks and scenes from different peoples’ points of view, it’s chock-a-block with genuine narrative surprises as Goddard’s previous film, “The Cabin in the Woods.” I may be a cult of one on Brian Henson’s “The Happy Time Murders,” but anytime puppetry can escape from the straitjacket of kiddie entertainment, I’m all for it. Melissa McCarthy is down for anything in this seedy, L.A. story where humans and puppets co-exist. And it has the best puppet sex scene since “Team America World Police.”

At just 57 minutes, Barbara Kopple and Sara Dosa’s “Tricky Dick Meets The Man In Black” on Netflix may be too short to qualify as a feature, but this fascinating documentary details the story of Richard Nixon’s attempts to co-opt Johnny Cash for a White House concert, and Cash’s struggle not to be co-opted.

THE BAD STUFF Netflix’s “A Futile and Stupid Gesture,” based on Josh Karp’s excellent biography of National Lampoon co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte) is a farrago of biopic clichés and meta gags about bio-pic clichés. Stick to Karp’s book and check out the National Lampoon documentary “Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead,” also on Netflix. Shane Black’s “The Predator” goes off the narrative rails in the first five minutes with muddled tone and rumors of major reshoots. By the end it makes “Predator 2” look watchable. DC’s “Aquaman” is the comic book movie equivalent of generic brand tuna. Glub, glub, meh. And you’d think that there’s no way Aardman Animation could make an unfunny movie, but their caveman sports comedy “Early Man” tested both my patience and my interest in English football. In Alex Garland’s “Annihilation,” the plot and the mood is that bad kind of murky as Natalie Portman searches for her husband on a secret mission with unpleasant sci-fi elements.

he Hangar Theatre has named the four plays they will be putting on as a part of their 2019 Summer Season. First on the list is “Or, What She Will,” which is a comedy about the first female playwright attempting to finish her first work during the seventeenth century. The second play is the Stephen Sondheim classic, “Into the Woods,” which takes familiar fairy tales and reweaves them into one beautiful tapestry about what happens when our wishes come true, said Michael Barakiva, the artistic director at the Hangar Theatre. The most ambitious item on the Hangar’s schedule is a new addition to the Hangar Theatre’s Summer Season, called the “Big Play Festival!” This will be a multi-day event consisting of several plays that would normally be too big to produce as a full play. The overarching theme of the season comes from a phrase coined by MaryBeth Bunge, the Managing Director of the Hangar Theatre, which is that many of these plays are essential theatre. She said that the questions each story introduces are about why theatre is essential and what is essential to theatre. The theme for the inaugural “Big Play Festival!” is going to be American Family. Barakiva chose this theme because of the familial dynamic that normally develops among casts of plays. The idea for the festival came from Barakiva thinking of different, creative uses of the theatre space. “The first is that it is the largest not for profit theatre in the area,” Barakiva said. “The second is that we have a thrust stage, which juts out into the audience. And this forum is a forum that the ancient Greeks used, that Shakespeare used and the plays that are written for the space. We’re starting with a three-person play, we’ve done one or two-person plays, you know you really want events that are going to fill the space. We thought this was a way to get lots of big stories, big plays into the festival.” Last year, during the summer season, the Hangar Theatre put on a production of Kate Hamill’s adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice,” which both Barakiva and MaryBeth Bunge, managing director of the Hangar Theatre, proclaimed was a delight. Bunge said that Hamill’s adaptations are different because they take what people may consider stuffy works of literature and transforms them into endearing delights, that people will love. “They’re just really fun,” Bunge said. “I mean sometimes people are like, ‘These

classics, maybe stuffy, old, crusty.’ Things that people had to read in a high school literature class or something. And Kat just pulls out the essential aspects of any of these characters and what makes them kind of funny. And her take on dialogue is really creative and they’re just a lot more fun. I think we found that last year, ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ the first weekend, we didn’t have quite as many people and then the word got out that this is really fun. It wasn’t just some classic period piece but pretty darn respectful of the original story.” Since the Hangar Theatre has not yet obtained the rights to the plays they will be showing, they won’t be announcing the names until their Artist in Residency series on January 10, according to Thena Gitlin, marketing director for the Hangar Theatre. They will be announcing two of those titles, as well as the options for the third play, which subscribers can vote on and chose. The Subscriber’s Choice winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day. What is known so far, though: “Or, What She Will” will be running from June 13 -22, “Into the Woods” will be running from June 28 through July 13, “Kinky Boots” will be at the Hangar Theatre from July 19 -Aug. 3, Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Little Women will be at the theatre from Aug. 8-17, and the “Big Play Festival!” will be running from Aug. 22-31.
