WHAT TO DO? Look Inside

ON THE RECORD Maybe it’s a guy thing, but sports have a way of providing milestones for a lifetime. Mine are linked to my hometown teams, the Bills and Sabres.

In mid-winter 1974, I was in my seat at the Aud, surprised that so many people could be so, so quiet. And I was numb. Early that morning, Tim Horton died when his Pantera flipped on the Queen E as he drove back to Buffalo after a game in Toronto. Now, he’s just a name on a chain of doughnut shops. Then, he was a tough NHL defenseman, 44, with a remarkably long career. And he was one of the most popular Sabres. And so the Sabres and Flames wore black arm bands. The raw disbelief that Horton died was matched by a surreal scene I’ll never forget: 16,000 people were eerily silent; the only sounds were those echoing up from corridors under the stands, the voices of hawkers yelling, “Cold beer. … Get your cold beer here. …” On Jan. 31, 1980, we were waiting for a game against the Rangers. When attendants rolled out a carpet from the penalty box toward center ice, we started grumbling. We hated these pre-game ceremonies. They delayed the games, and we couldn’t have cared less about the oversized cardboard checks being presented. This turned out to be different. When I think about the scene, I can still feel Photography the emotion that swept through the Aud by Haute Time as people rose to their feet and cheered as Magazine if the Sabres had won the Stanley Cup. The public address announcer wasn’t able to finish his introduction before his words were lost in the roar … “Ladies and gentlemen, from the Canadian consulate in Buffalo …” That’s all we needed to hear. Once we heard who, we knew why. What’s buzzPerhaps you’ve seen the film “Argo.” It’s ing the most. about how Canadians protected American diplomats in 1979 when the U.S. embassy in Tehran was overrun and then smuggled them out of Iran. The Americans came home Jan. 28, 1980. And this was our first chance to say, “Thank you.” Follow us Years from now, Orange fans will still @syracusnew be talking about SU’s win over Kansas, times.com 81-78, for the NCAA title in 2003 and about Carmelo Anthony’s remarkable year. “Let me tell you where I was when the buzzer sounded.” “Man, you should have seen Marshall Street after they won.” “The championship parade down Salina Write to us 1415 East Street? Sweet.” Genesee St. This week, our cover story brings you up Syracuse, NY to date about the freshman forward with the 13204 baby face who is a veteran with a decade on NBA courts. It’s a good story. Enjoy.

BUZZ 4.16

More than 6,500 fans attended the Syracuse Chiefs’ opening day, a 4-1 loss to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Some found it inspiring, with the stadium dressed up in bunting and, hey, baseball back in town. Others — notably members of the Simone family, the team’s former management — found it … uninspiring. Members of the family registered complaints on social media about a range of issues, including the movement of a bust of Tex Simone, a long-time Chiefs executive, from the walkway in the stands (above) to the Hank Sauer room, at the end of the first-base line.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN

MOONLIGHTING BY DAY

A man walked into a bank in Antioch, Calif., and handed the teller a note. She couldn’t make it out because of the bad handwriting and showed it to the manager to help her decipher the message. By the time they figured out it was a hold-up note, the man had left through a back door. Police arrested suspect Jamal Garrett, 29, after they found him across the street from the bank and witnesses at the bank identified him. (San Jose Mercury News)

University of Colorado Denver officials placed cultural diversity coordinator Resa Cooper-Morning, 54, on administrative leave while they investigated reports that she operated a phone sex business during the hours she was working at the school. Her website msresa.com features numerous nude, provocative photos of Cooper-Morning, and a phone sex component invited callers to talk dirty with her Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until late at night. Her university work hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. After Cooper-Morning was placed on leave, the website stated that she was available for phone sex weekdays only after 3 p.m. (Denver’s KCNC-TV)

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN, AGAIN

A man entered the garage at a home in northwest Chicago and demanded that the resident hand over the keys to her 2012 Honda MDX. She complied, but then fled the garage and closed the door behind her, trapping the man inside. She called the police, who arrived to find Andre Bacon, 21, sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. (Chicago Tribune)

WHEN THE OWNER’S MANUAL ISN’T ENOUGH

Truck driver Jeffrey Glossop, 58, was transporting a 58-ton vintage battle tank but couldn’t climb a hill outside Gold Beach, Ore., so he decided to unload the tank and drive it up the hill. Glossop had never driven a tank, but “he had the manual, so he thought he could do it,” State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said. The tank slipped out of gear, however, then rolled back down the hill and crashed through a guardrail. Glossop tried again. The tank again slipped out

of gear, rolled down an embankment and came to rest in a stand of trees. The tank wasn’t damaged, but Glossop was cited for reckless driving. (Portland’s The Oregonian)

SHORTCOMINGS

The International Paralympic Committee declared swimmer Victoria Allen, 19, ineligible for last summer’s world championships because she wasn’t disabled enough. Having won four medals and set a world freestyle record the year before, she “failed to provide conclusive evidence of a permanent eligible impairment,” the IPC ruled on the eve of the 2013 competition. A star child athlete, Arlen developed a neurological condition that led to her spending three years in a vegetative state before she awoke in 2010 with paralyzed legs. She insisted she was being punished because her doctor believes that her condition might improve. IPC official Peter Van de Vliet defended the ruling. “If you’re classifying an amputee, either they’ve got a leg or they haven’t,” he said. “But when you get to these types of wheelchair athletes, it gets tricky.” (The New York Times)

A pilot program in the Netherlands that hires alcoholics to collect litter and do other light work in Amsterdam pays them with beer. The 20 men must show up at 9 a.m. three days a week. They start with two beers, work all morning, eat lunch, get two more beers, do an afternoon shift that ends with a beer and sometimes a bonus beer. Besides the beer, participants receive a meal, tobacco and $13 cash, a lot of which, the men admit, goes to buy more beer. Insisting that the program’s goal is to get alcoholics to stop drinking and move back to mainstream society, leader Gerrie Holterman said beer was the obvious choice because it’s easy for the sponsors to regulate the men’s consumption. (The Associated Press)

SERIOUSLY?

After Jakiya McKoy, 7, won the Little Miss Hispanic Delaware contest, pageant officials took away her crown because of concerns that she wasn’t Hispanic enough. Contestants are required to be at least 25 percent Hispanic, but Maria Perez, president of the sponsoring Nuestras Raices, said the verification the child provided “does not specify she was 25 percent Hispanic or Hispanic at all.” The McKoys protested that the real reason their daughter’s reign was cut short was her dark skin, not the lack of documentation.

QUICK TAKE

By Ed Griffin-Nolan

SUPREME COURT LIFTS ONEROUS BURDEN FROM CAMPAIGN DONORS At 12:22 p.m. on April 2, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its latest decision regarding campaign finance, McCutcheon et al. v. Federal Election Commission, which changed the total amount you might be able to give to political campaign in a given campaign cycle. Until now, as you no doubt have been acutely aware, campaign laws have been strangling your attempts to express yourself by stopping your speech cold at the very moment when you had donated $48,600 to federal candidates in a given electoral cycle. That’s right — you must still observe the limit of $2,600 given to each candidate, but you can now go past that pesky $48,600 for the cycle. I’m feeling that freedom already. Barely had the ink dried on the 5-4 decision when my inbox chimed with the special alert I have set up for emails from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.). If you don’t have your email set up with a special tone for Schumer, you really don’t know what you’re missing. Senator Schumer’s response to the Supremes decision, read as follows: Ed, (yes, Chuck and I are tight) The Supreme Court just handed down a ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC that abolishes a crucial limit on campaign finance, allowing huge new amounts of money into elections. This ruling in itself is a small step, but another step on the road to ruination. It could lead to interpretations of the law that would result in the end of any fairness in the political system as we know it. For decades, big-time political donors had two kinds of limits on their direct contributions to campaigns and campaign committees. The limit on donations to an individual campaign was pretty well known — for this cycle, that limit is $2,600 to a single

campaign in the primary election and another $2,600 in the general election, for a total of $5,200. But big-time donors were also limited on the total amount they could donate to all candidates combined each cycle. That limit is now gone, opening the door to a huge influx of money into campaigns. Combined with the impact of corporate and large donor money due to the Citizens United decision, this ruling opens the floodgates and provides an opening for those at the top to undermine our democracy. Right now, Senator Whitehouse, Senator Udall and I are working on a measure that would put in place new, constitutionally allowed restrictions which would stymie those who would try to play chess with the American political system. I’ll have more updates on that soon. Thank you for your support, Chuck Schumer And just below Chuck’s electronic signature, with no hint of irony, appeared this button:

The operation, with the nickname “zunzuneo,” Spanish for hummingbird, had as much success as the past five decades of clownish efforts (see embargo, exploding cigars, poisoned cigars, acid sprinkled on microphones in his radio studio, poison in his girlfriend’s face cream) to remove Fidel Castro from office and/or the ranks of the living.

Tyler Ennis is gone, Jerami Grant sits on the fence, but the good basketball vibes they brought to the Dome, your living room couch or favorite bar stool need not end. A crowdfunding effort launched by a former Syracusan residing in California is hoping to turn the love of Orange fans for their student athletes into books for young Syracuse students to read in the summer. Orange Nation Book Donation was cooked up by Kerry Sheldon, who set up the Indiegogo site for “Syracuse fans helping first-graders perform in school.” Sheldon had a thought that may be familiar to many socially conscious sports fans and asked herself if she could find a way to channel the same passion she felt for the success of the Orange toward the success of first-graders who went to school in the shadow of the Dome. She made this commitment: “For every hour I spend on Orange hoops, I donate an hour of salary to Syracuse causes. It’s pretty satisfying. Indeed, it’s beating-Duke-in-OT-at-the-Dome satisfying. I wanted to challenge other fans to share their passion and enthusiasm in the same way with a common March Madness goal. And here we are. The OrangeNation BookDonation campaign.” She’s rung up 58 donations totaling $2,168. Given the level of support, she revised her goal of $1,500 upward to $3,000. Her plan is to get 10 books into the hands of each first-grader in schools near the Dome (that would be Dr. King, Ed Smith and Hughes). Her notion is based on research about how children’s reading skills decline in summer without access to quality reading material. She’s done her homework on the education research; you can check it out on the indiegogo site: tinyurl.com/ q57vl2w. SNT

Logo Logorrhea

CHIEFS TAKE FIELD AGAINST THE ODDS Twitter attacks. Snow and ice cleared from the field by prisoners. Another loss. Our reward for surviving the cruelest of winters has finally arrived. It’s baseball season again in Syracuse. Maybe, just maybe, this year will be different. A strange new feeling of hope prevailed on Opening Day last week in the Crater by the Ley Creek Transfer Station. It was evident from the start when I sauntered into the souvenir shop and noted an absence of Resentment Beams radiating from behind the counter. “Are any of you related to the Simones,” I inquired of the pleasant young women staffing the shop. “No!” they answered brightly. “Then I’m buying a Chiefs hat!” I said. We laughed and laughed. There’s some history there. Years ago, I attended a lecture given by Chiefs then-General Manager John Simone at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. In a column that followed, I hinted at the irony of a Chiefs exec addressing impressionable college students on the subject of marketing and promotion. I mean, let’s face it: The Simones couldn’t market medicated pads to a roomful of hemorrhoid sufferers. After that, I always felt a chill every time I entered the gift shop. God, how those people can hold a grudge, which we were reminded of last week when The Family unleashed a classy Twitter attack on the new ownership. Tweeted Simone’s sister Wendy Shoen: “To the back stabbers who helped get the NEW group to the top, you must be so proud of yourselves! Have a day that you are deserving of.” Still heeding the orders of their old boss, the team lost 4-1. That means fans can use their ticket for free entry to another Chiefs game in April or May. Who says April is the cruelest month? Now it’s May, too. Just joking. We’re lucky to have the Chiefs, especially this time of year. Where else can you buy a beer that gets colder with each sip?

As I noted somewhere on this page, I proudly purchased a new Chiefs hat on Opening Day. Alas, the logo hasn’t changed with the new ownership, but it should. The steaming train bursting out of a “C” for Chiefs makes sense conceptually, but it has never popped visually. For now I am so elated about the changeover in management that I’m willing to walk around in a hat that looks like one of my Chihuahuas threw up on it. But derailing the logo for something sharper should be a top priority. In the event CNN asks me to brainlessly speculate about what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, I wanna look good. Chiefs mascots Reggy and Mango engaged in some offbeat hijinks during a break in the April 3 opening day Chiefs game. Photo by Michael Davis

Sometimes, the best action on the field has nothing to do with the players, as was the case on Opening Day when the Chiefs double-downed on their mascots. In addition to stalwart Pops — the creepy old train conductor who looks like the stuff Amber Alerts are made of — and the iconic Scooch, management brought in two temp workers for the first weekend: Reggy the Purple Party Dude to work with Mango the Monkey. Things got very interesting in the latter (read: boring) innings when Reggy used (or appeared to use) a giant hand pump to inflate Mango. With Mango sprawled face down on the third-base line, Reggy, who is vaguely rooster-like, pumped vigorously from behind, prompting Mango to swell with what I dearly hope was only air. “That looks like an unnatural act,” I said to my seat-mate, Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey. Fahey offered no rebuttal. Sources say he has taken the matter under advisement. Anyway, after the game, Scooch and Pops stopped by Suite 304, where Mayor Stephanie Miner’s husband, Jack Mannion, was winding up his annual Opening Day bash. I took the opportunity to thank them for their service. Scooch and Pops, not Jack and Stephanie. Having appeared in costume myself a time or two, I know that such work often doesn’t get the respect it deserves. People forget there’s an actual human being inside those costumes. True, it’s probably a damaged, low-functioning human being, possibly with a criminal record and issues with drugs and alcohol. But a human being nonetheless. Both Scooch and Pops thanked me by nodding eerily and shaking my hand. Then I asked what the hell was going on with Reggy and Mango earlier on the field. Again, the two didn’t speak, but Pops made the universal gesture for copulation with his giant blue mitts.

EVER HEAR OF PING BODIE? Neither had I until he was mentioned in a Baltimore Orioles broadcast

I watched the other night. Ping, a former New York Yankee, challenged Percy the Ostrich to a spaghetti eating contest on April 3, 1919. Ping won. The ostrich not only lost, it died after it could not answer the bell for a 12th bowl of pasta. If you have an idea for a publicity stunt that I should do at a Chiefs game that does not involve the death of a giant bird or mammal, contact the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

BY THE NUMBERS

Crack Management People think I’m odd for, among other things, riding my bike all over town in almost any weather. But it works for me. It especially works for me at Chiefs games. I avoid the annoyance of paying $5 to park in a lot that is usually empty. At those rare games that draw big crowds, I zip in and out of the stadium almost effortlessly, avoiding the traffic that made County Exec Joanie Mahoney late to Opening Day. But there are risks as I increase my, um, exposure to motorists. For that reason, I have started wearing Chums brand athletic suspenders during my bike commutes. They do a fine job of keeping my cycling pants right where they belong and sparing the innocent people of Syracuse unwanted views of what geologists refer to as The Great Onondaga Rift. Remember, when you’re feeling a little low, your best friends are Chums.

TOPIC: NEWS WILL SYRACUSE BE HOME TO A GREENHOUSE? By Renée K. Gadoua Yusuf Abdul-Qadir has been a believer in Plantagon for about two years. After hearing a presentation, then visiting the company in Sweden, Abdul-Qadir, a Syracuse green consultant, became an ambassador and joined Plantagon’s non-profit association. Abdul-Qadir likes Plantagon’s vision of building vertical greenhouses as energy-efficient ways to grow food. He’s even more taken with its business philosophy. Plantagon is a hybrid profit and nonprofit business. Members of the non-profit association (more than 300, so far) own 10 percent of the business and choose half the members of the corporate board. “That’s the Haudenosaunee principle,” Abdul-Qadir said. “You need to be more inclusive.” Abdul-Qadir was among about 50 people who listened Monday morning to Oren Lyons, Onondaga Nation faithkeeper and chairman of Plantagon’s board, and members of the Plantagon staff discuss the potential of building a Plantagon vertical greenhouse in Syracuse. The talk was sponsored by FOCUS Greater Syracuse. The Onondaga Nation is part owner of the company, which is based in Linköping, Sweden. It would cost $40 million to $50 million to build a vertical greenhouse in Syracuse, said Hans Hassle, Plantagon founder and CEO. The company says a 17-story building in Syracuse would combine real estate with a greenhouse and be modeled on one in the very early stages in Sweden. Because of the lack of sun here and in Sweden, the greenhouses would use LED lights. The company is founded on the idea that business should not just make a profit but help the common good, Hassle said. He believes most businesses are too short-sighted to understand the importance of addressing long-term needs caused by climate change. “How can you build a sustainable future by focusing on the next quarter?” he asked. “It’s impossible.” Vertical gardening addresses the need to produce more food efficiently and inexpensively as the population swells. Plantagon’s design, which has won awards, attempts to grow food in a small footprint and without adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Plantagon has greenhouse projects under

way in Singapore and Shangai. There’s no site chosen for Syracuse, but Lyons would like to see a greenhouse on the northwest end of Onondaga Lake, where the Haudenosaunee principle of peace was born. The Onondaga elder would also like the site to include a heritage center to educate people about Native American culture and their principles of sustainability, equity and peace. The group met last week with representatives from CenterState CEO and with the county executive. No city or county officials were at Monday’s event, but the audience included representatives of Pyramid Brokerage, QPK Architects and Eric Mower. The company has not yet done feasibility studies for a project here. Nor has it formally approached economic partners. But company representatives say Syracuse’s interest in local farming and green infrastructure makes the city ripe for a vertical greenhouse. Plantagon aims to create sustainable food production, but more important, it’s a business with a heart, said Shrikant Ramakrishnan, global business development officer. “It works more toward a holistic understanding of what we want to do in our value system,” he said.

“Peace is our mandate, and the relationship we have with the Earth. … We’re old. Our confederacy is 1,000 years old. It’s based on peace, it’s based on equity, it’s based on unity. That’s what inspired your people to make a nation here. “The Peacemaker told us way back when, when you are making decisions, think not of yourself. Make your decisions on the good of the generations coming. “… Change has to happen if we’re going to survive. It’s no longer competition. It’s cooperation. We’re now in global warming.

HAWKINS FOR GOVERNOR ... AGAIN By Walt Shepperd

Howie Hawkins will run for governor on the Green Party ticket in an attempt to repeat what for the party was significant electoral triumph: maintaining their line on the state ballot. He announced his candidacy on Tuesday. To keep that “permanent ballot status,” a party must poll 50,000 votes in the previous gubernatorial election. Hawkins did it four years ago, tallying almost 60,000, re-establishing the Greens’ voting booth presence first attained in 1998 by Al Lewis, better known as Grampa on the TV show The Munsters. The Greens were off the ballot in the next two elections, but Hawkins, at the top of the 2010 Green ticket, finished third out of seven candidates. Hawkins — a candidate for office every year since 1993 except for 2012, when he served as campaign manager for Green congressional challenger Ursula Rozum — is confident that his campaign will keep Green ballot status for the next four years. “The protest vote will be easier this year,” he says. “State employees and teachers are mad at (Democrat incumbent Gov. Andrew) Cuomo, and there’s lots of votes there. (Republican contender Rob) Astorino is stronger than (2010 GOP candidate Carl Paladino) and will downplay the social conservatism on gay rights and abortion.” Pursuing the traditional role of non-major parties, Hawkins will be hoping for televised debates to raise Green Party issues. Hawkins, a former Marine and a founder of the Clamshell Alliance and the national Green Party, promotes single-payer health

care and an end to the war on drugs. A UPS truck unloader and member of Teamsters Local 317, he advocates a $15-an-hour minimum wage but believes local communities should be allowed to establish their own minimum wage and tax rates. He will call for a ban on hydrofracking and a transition to a carbon-neutral economy within 15 years. Last year, Hawkins declared that his Green Party had to win a local election to be considered a viable political option. He felt he could provide that victory in the race for the 4th District Common Council seat because two years before he had lost to Democrat Khalid Bey by 96 votes. But by last year, Bey had invested time in establishing his incumbency and enjoyed significant support from Mayor Stephanie Miner. Hawkins lost by almost 500 votes. SNT

DEPARTURE OF MORROW IS AN OMINOUS SYMPTOM

DON’T MAKE YOUR KID KISS GRANDMA By Reid Sullivan

B y To m B u c k e l The events that led to Dr. Cynthia Morrow’s departure as the Onondaga County health commissioner are shortsighted, tragic and will harm our community. As a former county legislator, I worked with the Health Department, the Social Services Department and the County Executive’s office. Morrow was the best. Her department achieved great progress in saving lives. The health of the women and children in our community improved under Morrow’s leadership. Before Morrow was appointed as health commissioner, babies and young children in Onondaga County died at one of the highest rates in the nation. This mortality rate was a national shame. Morrow battled infant mortality, saved lives and strengthened our community health care system for all mothers and children. Under her supervision, the Health Department became a model of good government. It set community goals. It employed talented nurses and professionals to care for pregnant women at their homes, to treat children in schools, to provide newborn baby check-ups and to teach healthy eating practices. Independent experts have called the county’s recent shift of mother and child health services from the Health Department to the Social Services Department “breathtakingly stupid” and “nonsensical.” Why? Because the county Social Services office focuses on managing programs instead of improving health and solving problems. Here is how the newly structured “Children and Family Services” office describes itself: “We provides [sic] public benefit programs along with casework programs for citizens of our county.” Health is not a program. Health is an essential of life. Strong community health is not achieved with a “program.” During my terms in the legislature, I and other legislators tried to push the Social Services office to work in the community, just like the Health Department, by providing services where needed. We encouraged the department to work near the people it served. We encouraged the department to set goals to reduce poverty and hunger and to engage our entire community as partners to achieve these goals. Our efforts were

DOWNTOWN PARKING A PROBLEM? THAT’S A MYTH B y N i c o l e T. S a m o l i s When people learn that I not only work downtown but live in downtown Syracuse they have two questions: “Where do you park?” and “Where do you grocery shop?” Today, I’m getting onto my Downtown Parking Soapbox... When did we become such a lazy society? Perhaps we can blame it on Henry Ford, when he made the automobile accessible to the average American. It prompted our love of the car and driving, which led to urban sprawl, which led to us thinking that if you can’t park right in front of your destination, then it’s not worth the stop. Hmm, maybe that’s also why we’ve become an overweight society. But back to parking. Did you know that downtown Syracuse has a combined total of 36 parking lots and garages

04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com

equating to 10,953 parking spaces? That doesn’t include street parking (which I admit in the winter can be challenging when the snow is piled up). The question I like to ask people is, why is it OK to park at Destiny and walk a half mile to get to your shopping or entertainment destination, yet complain about walking three to five blocks to a downtown shopping or entertainment destination? If you strolled through all three levels of Destiny, you could traverse more than three miles. If I walk from my office on Harrison Street to Kitty Hoynes, I will traverse 0.57 miles and can complete three or four other errands along the way while enjoying the fine architecture of the downtown streetscape. I know, you’re thinking, yes, there may be parking, but I have to pay for it, or you’ll rant that the last time you came Frank Cammuso

Want to help your child avoid predatory adults? Tell him he doesn’t have to hug or kiss anyone out of respect or social convention, or for any other reason. Children need to know they are in charge of their bodies. If you tell a child “go give Grandma a kiss hello” when he doesn’t want to, you’re teaching him something. You’re teaching him he should ignore his own discomfort. Why? Because Grandma’s feelings are more important than his. Children are used to being told what to do. It’s one of the worst things about being a kid; they’re ordered around at home, at school, on the bus, on the playing field. Hey, I have kids, and I spend a lot of time telling them where to go (To your room! In the car!) and what to do (Hang up your coat! Brush your teeth!). It’s frustrating. But when it comes to telling them how and when to touch someone, I let my sons decide. Even if it hurts a relative’s feelings. A New Times blogger recently made fun of a British sex educator for suggesting a highfive as an alternative to kissing or hugging a grandparent. Yvonne Conte, a grandmother herself, wrote: “There is nothing that compares to a grandparent’s love. You want to take that away from (children) to teach them about acceptable touching?” Yes, I do. And so do people at the McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center. You may remember the center; its director helped teach SU basketball coach Jim Boeheim that calling Bernie Fine’s accusers liars might discourage others from reporting abuse. Think about how long Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky got away with preying on the disadvantaged children because they didn’t know that what he was doing was wrong, or didn’t think anyone would believe them, or didn’t think they had a right to tell him to stop. In Malcolm Gladwell’s 2012 New Yorker article about Sandusky and the methods of child molesters, he wrote: “The child molester’s key strategy is one of escalation, desensitizing the target with an ever-expanding touch.” A molester quoted in the article described how “the younger kids have not developed a ‘personal space’ yet, and when talking with me, will move in very close. … Goodbyes would progress from waves, to brief hugs, to kisses on the cheek, to kisses on the mouth in very short order.”

Relax & Refresh downtown, you got a ticket. My response: It’s all part of the personality of a city. A few tips: Street parking is free after 5 p.m. (technically, 6 p.m., but the meter readers are off the clock at 5) and on weekends. The Washington Street garage (1,250 parking spaces) offers free parking on nights and weekends. Isn’t paying $5 to $8 to park worth the experience of meeting friends for cocktails and then moving on to dinner and an off-Broadway show? Isn’t it worth coming to Walton on Wednesday on a warm summer night for alfresco dining and live music? Isn’t it worth bringing the kids to the MOST and seeing an IMAX movie and then going for ice cream? For information: tinyurl.com/qjldz6l. SNT PARKING

Nicole T. Samolis is president of The Events Company. She and her husband, Kevin, moved downtown in March 2011.

Now think about these words from the McMahon/Ryan center’s website, “As hard as it might be, don’t pressure your kids into hugging or kissing family members (and this should include you) if it makes them feel uncomfortable. If a child says ‘stop tickling me,’ then stop and let them know that you are stopping because they asked you to do so.” So, really, it’s not about Grandma. Grandma can handle a little rejection. It’s about teaching a child that he does not have to touch Grandma — or anyone else — if he doesn’t want to. SNT GRANDMA

stubbornly refused. Social Services remains a program-delivery operation, measured in terms of cases open, cases closed and dollars saved, instead of lives saved, poverty reduced or hunger eliminated. Managing the health of our women and children through Social Services is not just “breathtakingly stupid,” it endangers the health of every woman and child in our community. It reduces their health to a program to be managed rather than lives to be saved and improved. To me, this change tells us that statistics take priority over problem-solving to save and improve lives. Given the breathtakingly arrogant and petty manner in which Morrow was “escorted” from her office, there’s no way to get her back in county government. This is a shame. It is a horrendous mistake. It is a huge loss for the women and children of Onondaga County. It is a huge loss for all of us. SNT MORROW

FEEDBACK

DANGEROUS CARGO

Hooray to Ed Griffin-Nolan for his excellent cover story in the April 2 issue about the dangers posed by railroad tankers traveling regularly through Syracuse and environs with volatile crude oil. The horrifying photo of the inferno caused by the explosion of this type of cargo, causing 47 deaths in Quebec in July 2013, should be a wakeup call of the danger we face here. Since Griffin-Nolan stresses that local government and first responders are totally unprepared to deal with this kind of emergency, I suggest readers contact County Executive Joanie Mahoney to ask her to demand information and training from CSX, the railroad company. She can be reached at County Executive Joanie Mahoney, 14th floor, Civic Center, 421 Montgomery St., Syracuse 13202, or by calling 435-3516. Even with a de facto moratorium on fracking for gas in New York, we are impacted by the fracking being done elsewhere, including the shipments described above. Readers who want to work with others for a moratorium on these tanker shipments and other issues surrounding fracking can find like-minded people through ShaleshockCNY, the local Sierra Club and many other local and statewide organizations. Contact me at LDESTEFANO3@ twcny.rr.com or 488-2140 (8 a.m. to 10 p.m.) if you want to be in touch with any of these organizations.

JOHN CARUCCI 3:00pm - 7:00pm

Grant Reeher: Can you give me a very brief history of the Government Accountability Project? Louis Clark: Yes. We began in the late 1970s as a result of a particularly corrupt president. During the late ’70s, there was a wave of reform activity throughout the country, around government, and we began during that period.

GR: Did it always have a corporate accountability component, or was that added? LC: It was added in 1980. So, at the beginning, it focused exclusively on the government, on the federal government. And we added corporate in 1980, three years later.

GR: What are some of your “greatest hits” of exposure and whistleblowing? LC: I would say the first, major hit was really in 1982 through 1984, where we represented a number of whistleblowers at the Zimmer Nuclear Power Plant, which was being built outside Cincinnati. It was 98 percent complete, and it was canceled because of all the whistleblowers coming forward about the lack of quality control, quality assurance throughout the construction. And after that, whistleblowers from 17 different nuclear power and nuclear weapons facilities came forward to blow the whistle on their places, and there was quite a bit of re-work done at various nuclear plants. In 1987, they actually stopped plutonium production in the United States because of the whistleblowers. And that was a case that we’re very proud of. As well as essentially blowing the whistle on Paul Wolfowitz, who was head of the World Bank. That’s much more recent. And also, as you might know, we represent Edward Snowden; that is not yet an accomplishment because obviously there’s more to come.

GR: Remind our listeners of the problem you exposed with the World Bank. LC: At the World Bank we exposed corruption basically in the hiring and firing of whistleblowers and the hiring of the girlfriend of Paul Wolfowitz at an extraordinary wage. In addition to that, the closing down of a focus on climate change as well as stopping the programs in Africa related to population control, or I should say “family planning.” As well as problems related to corruption, and there was an attempt to get the World Bank involved in the Iraq War.

GR: Obviously, politics runs through all of this in various ways, and the examples that you gave me, could, one

might argue, be put into the category of a liberal kind of whistleblowing. Is it that way? Do you see it that way? How do you deal with the political aspect? LC: I actually don’t see it that way. For example, right now, in terms of the NSA … there are people all over the political map, all kind of ideologies who actually want to see the transparency, greater lands transparency, as well as protection of individual privacy and civil liberties. And as a matter of fact, most whistle blowers are pretty non-political. They become political, perhaps, during that process, but certainly at the beginning they tend to be all over the place, politically. I would say as often conservative as liberal.

GR: About these individual whistleblowers, obviously as individuals they are going to vary, but do they tend to share any … traits in terms of their temperament or their motivations? LC: Definitely. For one thing, they tend to be the hardest working people. They tend to be the people who have the highest standards you can imagine. They also tend to be the people that tend to have either an ethical or professional … adherence or bent. They know what the standards are, and they intend to see that they’re carried out. So they tend to be the people that you would normally want to have in anyone’s workplace. They care about the institution that they’re blowing the whistle on. It’s only later, when there’s conflict, that there might be a separation of ways. But certainly at the beginning of the process of whistleblowing, they always raise these concerns internally before they go external to the organization.

GR: It sounds like in a lot of ways then, from a values perspective, their criticism is coming from within the organization. I mean, it sounds like what you’re saying is, these folks most greatly embody the very values that go into that organization. That’s where they are coming from when they say something’s gone wrong here. LC: Absolutely, and they do tend to follow whatever rules exist for raising concerns. So they do go through those channels that are established. The only people that don’t, actually, are the cynics that really don’t think the institution’s going to change. Most whistle blowers are not cynical.

GR: They’re obviously doing some extraordinary things, but is it fair to say that at the end of the day these are still ordinary people? LC: I think they are ordinary people with extraordinary courage. And so, in the first stage of the Whistleblower Tour to college campuses, we used to have them stand up, and we used to call

They don’t want to think of themselves as separate or different or better. They just care. And so that’s what they want, they want to be known as people who cared about the institutions and about the issues that they brought to public attention.

GR: Have there been any changes then in the protections for whistleblowers over time? LC: Absolutely. There’s been a revolution in the law. Just over the last seven years, there have been seven major corporate bills that have passed giving broad protection for whistleblowers in all kinds of areas, like banking, health care, food, modernization, product liability issues, issues related to retailing the affected products… in banking, an absolute revolution in the laws affecting whistleblowers within the banking industry.

GR: Some actions that an individual might take under the name of whistleblowing can be something that’s less helpful and less principled. How does the project determine whether … whistleblowing was appropriate and successful? LC: For one thing, we investigate every case really thoroughly. We have always felt in the (Government Accountability) Project that we can never be wrong, because the institutions that we often challenge are very powerful institutions. We never, ever want to be found out to be wrong on anything, so we basically investigate every case thoroughly. We look at the issues, we make sure that we can substantiate the concerns that people have raised.

GR: Have you ever had an instance of whistleblowing that you got behind, that ultimately you were regretful about? LC: I don’t think so … but we have

dropped cases when we are in the midst of our investigation. We have found that we can’t substantiate what they have to say, and even more so we didn’t believe them anymore. And so that has happened from time to time.

LC: Well, certainly there’s a huge difference between being a traitor and a whistleblower. A traitor is a person who works for a government, gets paid for a government and then secretly gives information to that government, and we’re talking about a government that is adverse to the United States. When you talk about a traitor, you talk about we’re at war with someone, that’s treason, that’s what traitor means. And that’s not the situation we’re faced with Edward Snowden, whatsoever. A whistleblower is a person who raises concerns to the public. They almost always go internally and raise these concerns. They eventually often go to the public. Those people are talking to everyone, and they’re talking to all nations and all people and that’s quite a difference between that and a traitor.

GR: Edward Snowden … said in The Guardian that what he was trying to do was to “inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which was done against them.” But doesn’t national security require, sometimes, not to know the things that are done in our name? LC: Oh, absolutely. I don’t think anyone would argue with that. I would definitely doubt that Edward Snowden would argue with that. I mean, Edward Snowden is not revealing military secrets; he’s not revealing secrets of the atom bomb and how to make them. He’s just not doing that. The only people who didn’t know what we were doing in terms of the kind of surveillance that he revealed were the American citizens. They didn’t know, and they are shocked. Every day, there’s new revelations, and they’re shocked again by what their government’s doing. It’s no secret to the people who are being spied on that they’re being spied on.

GR: Are there any particular areas of activity, either in government or in the corporate sector, where you suspect some kind of especially important improper activity is going on, which hasn’t yet been penetrated by whistleblowing? LC: I do think that there’s more going on in the banking industry than has come forward, as to why no bankers have really been prosecuted for what they did to the country, in terms of the financial collapse. … Why were no people prosecuted?

GR: So tell me about the American Whistleblower Tour. What is its purpose? What’s it doing? LC: Well, for three years we’ve been going to college campuses … and talking to the students about what whistleblowing’s all about and introducing them to whistleblowers. At Syracuse, we brought five incredible people, and from all walks of life. … Students are incredibly interested. … And the whistleblowers are incredibly happy to have participated in the program, as well, because we get a lot ourselves, just talking to the students and hearing about and appreciating their idealism and matching that with our own.

I need a good answer for a question from a politically conservative friend. When I pointed out that federal tax rates were higher in 1955 for everyone from the poor to the super rich than they were in 2010, his response was: “Are these taxes spent more wisely today than they were in say, 1955? Or rather, is our federal government spending tax money more or less efficiently now than then? — Thomas Holton

1973

FIGHTING IGNORANCE SINCE

(IT’S TAKING LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT)

Was Federal Tax Revenue Spent More Wisely in 1955 Than Now? Right, like there’s some accepted standard of what constitutes wise or efficient spending. I guarantee you some people think putting dime one into the EPA, the Department of Education or, for that matter, the U.S. Marine Band is a foolish waste of money. Better we just look at how the federal spending breakdown has shifted over the years. You and your friend will still argue fruitlessly about whether that’s good or bad, but at least you’ll start with the facts. First, let’s confirm your premise: Federal income tax rates were way higher in 1955 than today. The top rate that year was 91 percent on income over $400,000 for married couples filing jointly, which even so was lower than the peak rate, during World War II: 94 percent on income over $200,000. True, in 1955, few Americans had an annual income of $400,000, or even $200,000. To adjust for inflation, we turn to my assistant Una, spreadsheet ninja. She computes that in 1955, American families earning the equivalent of $25,000 in 2012 dollars had an effective tax rate (excluding deductions or exemptions) of 20 percent of their total income; for income of $50,000, the rate was 21 percent; for income of $100,000, the rate was 23 percent; for income of $250,000, the rate was 31 percent; and for income of $1 million, the rate was 57 percent. The highest marginal rate remained at 91 percent until 1964. Let that marinate for a moment. During the entirety of what conservatives typically regard as the good old days, the high-end tax rate was close to the highest in U.S. history. After spending nearly two decades at 70 percent, the top rate fell significantly during the Reagan years, bottoming out in 1988 at 28 percent. Today, notwithstanding the machinations of the tax-and-spend element, it remains 39.6 percent. Now to your question. Having scoured the databases, we learn as follows: — In 1900, the federal government was pretty much the definition of lean and mean. More than 30 percent of the budget went to defense, with another 22 percent to veterans’ benefits. The U.S. Post Office, as it was then known, ate up another 17 percent, and 6 percent went for interest on the national debt. That left just 24 percent,

allowing for rounding errors, for all other government activities. — By 1920, defense had ballooned to nearly 70 percent of the budget and interest to 15 percent. OK, World War I had just ended. Still, when 85 percent of the government’s money goes to the military plus debt, you have to think: The priorities here are seriously askew. — By 1955, defense was still nearly 55 percent of the government’s budget, with pensions plus social security in second place at 7 percent. Health care, education, welfare and transportation all together accounted for less than 8 percent of all government spending. — In 1980, after Vietnam but before the Reagan military buildup, the budget was more balanced. Defense was still the largest share of expenses, at 28 percent, followed by pensions and social security at 23 percent and one of the the highest percentages of spending ever for the Department of Education, at 6 percent. Health care rose to 9 percent, reflecting a trend of steady increase that started in the 1950s and hasn’t ended. — In 2010, health care passed outlays for pensions and social security, with the two together accounting for 47 percent of the budget. Defense still takes a quarter, and welfare a seventh. The postal service, which took 26 percent of the budget in 1910, is pretty much a nonentity. Education takes up about the same percentage of the budget as it did in the 1940s. Interest on the debt, thanks to low rates, is 6 percent, compared to nearly 15 percent in 1990. But 1990 wasn’t the worst it’s been; on a decade basis, debt interest was a greater percentage of the federal budget in 1920 and 1930. What can we say about the wisdom of government spending through time? For most of a century, we sank most federal treasure into defense, sometimes to the exclusion of virtually all else. Only in relatively recent times have we invested in programs to help people. SNT Send questions to Cecil via straightdope.com or write him c/o Chicago Reader, 350 N. Orleans, Chicago 60654.

Smart clothing. The day will come when this is not an oxymoron. I watched a video the other day (at work, where else?) about a shirt that could do practically everything Siri is supposed to do. It was a humorous short viewing (I love the “when you fall asleep in a meeting” scene), but at the end, it left me wondering if I could scroll down and buy the thing. You can’t. It’s a marketing joke, and it worked: I’m interested. (But your pants are too tight for me, and it’s not because I’m out of shape.) This led me on a quest to discover if such clothing existed elsewhere and was available to the general public. This is what I found. “Smart” Gloves: AiQ ranks pretty well (try No. 1) for “smart clothing” on Google, so I browsed their inventory. (Not-impressed fake-smile.) Get this: for just “it doesn’t say because it’s probably a ridiculous amount of money,” you can buy a pair of microfiber something-or-other gloves that not only let you type on your smartphone while wearing them (how handy and dandy), but they are made of stainless steel. Fiber. If you couldn’t already tell, I’m not impressed. You had me goin’ there. “Smart” Lights: On your jacket. You know, if you need to ride your bike at night like everyone else does and want to look like a deranged Christmas ornament in July. They turn on when the sun goes down? How ingenius. Yeah, not buying it. Literally. Heating Clothes: According to the same company, this means smart. Yeah, who knew a machine could heat something? A Cornell student developed this light-up, heat-up wearable. Wow. Wow again. Okay, happy? Bio-Measuring Clothing: Nike rolled out its smart, active wristband thingy. It’s great for things like counting how many steps you’ve stepped in a day – really useful stuff like that, which is really important. Really. Important. I think I’m going to go buy one. I really need to know that stuff.

Anti-Radiation: I’m not making this up. A jumper/skirt type of thing is perfect for those weekend getaways when all you want to do is explore nearby abandoned leaky nuclear reactors. I’m gonna get two in case I visit Chernobyl (or Fukushima). “Smart” Shoes: Nike recently came out with sneakers that track your running, walking, throwing them down the stairs, etc. That data syncs to an electronic device and gives you some mind-blowing, never-before-seen stats. It’s so amazing. So. Amazing. The Proximity Shirt: Apparently a “proximity shirt” is being worked on for those serious hide-and-seekers among us. I would enjoy buying a pair with matching sound effects of the Michael Myers theme song and blood curdling screams. This could become an essential household item. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “What? I expected cooler things than that by now.” I know, I was thinking the same thing. There will come a day when winking your eye will tie your shoes, your fly will zipper for you, clothes will automatically change color to match, and there will be dresses that make any woman look like she’s about to walk down the red carpet (for those awkward husband-and-wife moments).

RE IN VEN TION OF MR. ANTHONY

{MELO TO YOU}

The FINAL FOUR is over. Eleven years ago this week, Carmelo Anthony was riding high down Salina St. with the 2003 national championship team. A wistful thought. Today, Anthony is leading the Knicks to a possible playoff spot. Along the way, Carmelo reinvented himself to become something more than a basketball player. Writer Rafi Kohan writes about Meloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mellowing.

Carmelo Anthony and a Hasidic Jew walk into an elevator. This is not a joke. We are in the lobby of the Jack Resnick & Sons-owned offices at 199 Water St. in Manhattan’s Financial District, and this elevator is going up. Minutes later, on the 19th floor, Anthony is standing at the spot foreign exchange desk of BGC Partners, a voice and electronic brokerage, holding a landline to his ear, conducting financial transactions. “Ninety-two bid, 10 euros,” the six-time All-Star says into the phone. “We’re working on it.” Looking Wall Street-sharp in a tailored suit and slim tie, Anthony is surrounded by a small flock of licensed brokers. It’s like some sort of bizarro fantasy camp, in which the NBA player gets to live out his dream of becoming a foreign currency trader. Except it’s not. Along with a red carpet’s worth of other celebs, Anthony is in the FiDi this morning to participate in the ninth annual Charity Day, a high-profile event hosted by BGC and its former parent company, Cantor Fitzgerald, in commemoration of 9/11. One shouldn’t be surprised to find the Knicks star forward on the charity circuit — Anthony lands frequent headlines for his foundation’s philanthropic efforts — yet there is a semi-circus atmosphere at BGC, as brokers reveal themselves as dressed-up fanboys around the NBA’s scoring champ in 2012-13 and the No. 2 scorer this season, who is still waiting to seal this damn deal. When confirmation finally comes, the FX desk erupts with high fives and backslaps. Someone shouts, “Melo’s chucking paper!” From the other end of the phone line, a voice says, “Melo, thanks, brother. Appreciate the price.” But Anthony has already dropped the receiver, now mugging for iPhone photos with one broker-fan after the next, while others try to woo him to their workstations. “Melo! Melo!” “Over here!” “Melo!” Cameras flash. A boom mic flutters overhead. Nearby, there is a tray of sandwiches. No one touches the sandwiches. “Welcome to our zoo,” Asani Swann says with a sigh, as we shuffle to keep up with the mayhem. Anthony’s chief handler and the director of operations for Melo Enterprises Inc., Swann has been with the man known as Melo since his days in Denver. She is used to such scenes. “It’s weird,” she says, trailing Anthony, 29, down a flight of stairs. “I spend so much time with him. He’s just a normal person. He’s like a little brother.” Swann pauses. “Actually, he’s kind of gross.” Gross or not, there is little doubt that Anthony is the biggest star in NYC’s increasingly crowded basketball universe, which perhaps explains why he draws so much attention at BGC, even when we enter a new trading room on the 18th floor. There are more celebrities here — Regis Philbin is being escorted from desk to desk, his voice booming, “Close this deal immediately!” Diddy is being Diddy, in sunglasses and a shiny suit — but the scoring champ is a

magnet. With him, civilians seem to feel particularly entitled to having a word. For his part, Anthony is attentive, not rude in any way. But he also knows how to cut off each interaction, how to move on without glancing back. Yes, he looked you in the eye. No, there wasn’t a connection. But maybe there is a way to get under the superstar’s skin. When he’s not looking, someone grabs Anthony’s suit sleeve, feeling the fabric. “Hey!” he says, pulling away. “What? It’s nice,” smirks Jason Kidd, the all-time great point guard who played on the Knicks in 2012-13, serving as a team leader and personal mentor to Anthony. It is possible that the teacher-turned-rival — in June, Kidd was named the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach — is trying to play mind games with his former pupil. But Anthony smiles, unruffled. “I got one for you,” he says. Indeed, Anthony seems to understand that everyone wants something from him this morning, be it a suit, an autograph or a prediction for the coming season. When it’s time to leave (at 11 a.m., Anthony is past due at the Knicks’ Westchester training facility), even the guys manning a cupcake station by the elevator bank have a request: Will he take a picture with them? Holding a cupcake? Anthony grins, not wanting to say no, because he can’t say no. Saying no would make him an asshole, and he can’t be the asshole. “We have to be,” Swann says, referring to herself and Anthony’s publicist Jill, perhaps sensing something less than kosher about these elevator-bank confections. Just as one of the cupcake guys’ camera phones is coming into focus, Anthony’s reps realize the problem: There is “delivery.com” branding all over the table. Almost in unison, they rush to block the picture: “Guys! Guys!” The guys put down the cupcakes. Crisis averted. *** Carmelo Anthony has never been a great sleeper. To this day, he’ll get five, maybe six, hours on a good night. But not long after the birth of his son, Kiyan, in 2007, Anthony wasn’t sleeping at all. The then-Denver Nugget had already established himself as one of the most dynamic offensive players in the game. What wasn’t yet clear was whether

he would be able to translate his on-court dominance to off-court marketability — if he could, in other words, become the type of spokesman who needed expert guarding against renegade cupcake guys. Though reputation had always been important to Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn and came of age in the same rough Baltimore neighborhood immortalized in The Wire, a 2005 profile in Esquire had made a point of saying how he “has struggled with becoming more brand than man,” while an article the next month in ESPN questioned if he could “ever be a first-tier pitchman.” It was a period of deep introspection, as Anthony tried to figure out how he could appeal to the suits as well as the streets, and if he even wanted to. “You can’t change what you went through, how you grew up,” Anthony tells me, when we meet the next day at the Carnegie Club, a cigar lounge in Midtown. “I was almost my own victim my first few years in the league, because I didn’t want to let go of that. That was my identity.” Anthony remembers hanging out with friends and going back to his old hood. He doesn’t get into specifics but shakes his head: “I can’t believe I was doing that.” Publicly, there were drug charges (even-

tually dropped), complaints about Olympic playing time, a bar fight and an appearance on an underground DVD called Stop Snitching that discouraged individuals from cooperating with police investigations. But that was the old Melo. As a new father, it came down to one word: reinvention. “When I was trying to take my brand, my business, seriously, that was the one word I used to hang on the top of my board. Reinvention. How can I reinvent myself? It was hard, because I had to accept that I was becoming something else,” he says. “Being a man and being a brand at the same time … man, honestly, that took me a while. Sleepless nights. “In order for you to get what you want, you have to let go sometimes,” Anthony continues. “I had to let go a lot.” He has also gained a lot. In 2013, Anthony has associations with a growing list of businesses that include Jordan Brand, PowerCoco, Foot Locker, IWC, Isotonix, Haute Time and others. According to Forbes, he is the 25th highest-paid athlete in the world. And on the night before he delivered his best Gordon Gekko impersonation, Anthony made an appearance at the Bloomberg Sports Business Summit to talk about building a “billion-dollar brand.”

Not that there haven’t been flashbacks to the old Melo, as when he waited outside the Boston Celtics’ team bus after an on-court brush-up with Kevin Garnett in January 2013. Anthony insisted he wanted only to have a conversation, but he was suspended one game nevertheless after looking like a thug in the grainy security footage that played on SportsCenter. And as the CEO of Melo Enterprises knows, presentation matters. Sitting in a stuffed leather chair on the mezzanine level of the Carnegie Club, Anthony swirls his glass of Macallan and smiles. “Ah, man. Reinvention is the best thing.” *** To hear Anthony tell it, coming to the Knicks has always been part of a long-term plan. Upon arrival, he knew the depleted lineup, a result of the February 2011 deal that brought him to town, would take time to reassemble, and then there was the matter of adjusting to life in New York. Given his background, Anthony believed he had thick enough skin to handle the city’s harsh win-now spotlight and sports tabloid culture. He was wrong. “People in New York, they expect higher than they should expect, let’s just be quite

frank,” Anthony says. “Which is good. That’s what makes New York New York. But it was like, OK, maybe I gotta put another layer (of skin) on.” In his first half-season on Broadway, excitement returned to the Garden as Anthony teamed with fellow star Amar’e Stoudemire, before losing a first-round playoff matchup against the Celtics. In the lockout-shortened season that followed, Anthony still seemed to be in adjustment mode, suffering through injury and dealing with a coaching change (that many in the media suggested he helped orchestrate), while Linsanity swept New York on the shoulders of a clean-cut, Harvard-educated, ball-distributing guard named Jeremy Lin, who was basically Anthony’s polar opposite. The ensuing criticism was withering: Maybe Anthony wasn’t as good as we all thought; maybe his sky-high potential is just that: potential, never to be realized. Anthony could have wilted under such scrutiny. But he was finally starting to understand the volatile rhythms of the city. “My first year in New York, I had to go through some times, like, I really got to figure this out,” Anthony says, adding that he no longer watches highlight shows or reads

the sports sections. “You have to approach life in New York day by day, because you’re only as good as yesterday. That’s what I figured out. By year three, which was last year, it was like, I got it now.” He got it, all right. Anthony had his most productive year as a pro in 2012-13. In addition to the scoring title, he shot a career best from three-point range and notched his highest-ever PER (an advanced-metric stat that stands for “player efficiency rating”), which also saw him lead James Dolan’s long-suffering and oft-dysfunctional basketball franchise to its first division title in nearly two decades and its first postseason series win since 2000. The Garden faithful rewarded Anthony with frequent “M-V-P” chants, and he was be the only player other than eventual winner LeBron James to receive a first-place vote. Knicks legend and MSG Network commentator Walt “Clyde” Frazier noticed the difference in Anthony immediately. “He realized he’s the man, and if it’s going to get done, he has to do it,” Frazier says. “There was a lot of pressure on him to deliver. And he did.” Even when the season ended in disappointment, thanks to a manhandling by the Indiana Pacers in round two, it was widely understood that the Knicks superstar wasn’t to blame. And so what if the lasting image of that series was Anthony getting rejected at the rim by Roy Hibbert? He had firmly shifted the conversation: No longer does anyone debate whether he belongs in the city; now it’s a matter of whether he’ll stay. *** There’s no question that the Nets, not the Knicks, owned the back pages in the summer. Hiring Kidd was a splashy move, and that was only the beginning, as the team added future Hall of Famers Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in a blockbuster trade with the Celtics. “When you hit a home run, you become the face of the off-season,” Anthony says, dismissing the idea that any lingering tension with Garnett will add intrigue to the intra-city matchup. “I think what they were able to do really took them to another level, a contender level.” Pierce, a perennial thorn in the Knicks’ side, chirped about how “it’s time for the Nets to start running this city,” while Knicks guard Raymond Felton insisted that will never happen. Anthony has said he believes the teams will develop the “best rivalry in basketball” but prefers to abstain from the back-and-forth. On one hand, he understands that, if he were still that kid growing up in Brooklyn, he would have to root for the Nets. “That’s the new hype, that’s fresh, so you gotta root for that,” he says. On the other hand, he believes, “this will always be a New York Knicks town.”

All this chatter is just foreplay for the summer of 2014, when the headlines will belong to Anthony, as he decides whether to opt out of his contract. In what promises to be the greatest freeagent class in NBA history, he’s poised to make more money than anyone, including James. He’s also poised to endure more criticism. Despite his banner year, player evaluators still describe Anthony as “not good enough to be the best player on a legitimate title contender” and not having “shown the ability (or desire) to elevate the other parts of his game necessary to take a good team to greatness.” Often cast in the role of Anthony’s biggest fan, Jim Boeheim has enjoyed a courtside seat for the evolution of Carmelo Anthony, first as his head coach at Syracuse University, where together they won an NCAA title, and then as an assistant with recent Olympic and FIBA teams. “Carmelo is a scorer,” Boeheim explains. “So people tend to criticize scorers more than they would passers. You know, why doesn’t he pass more? But that’s not what he does. He’s a scorer. For New York to win, everybody has to play well.” (That was not the case versus Indiana.) Anthony is clear he expects to win a title. “I feel like I’m going to get one, this year, next year. I still got a long time in this league,” he says. But even if he doesn’t, Anthony rejects the semantics that one has to win to be a winner. “Barkley, Ewing, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller — you mean to tell me they’re not great? Yeah, a championship validates that. But these guys are great.” That attitude might prove good news for the home team, since the Knicks will finish in the lower half of playoff qualifiers in the now-stacked Eastern Conference. The team has a losing record, but it’s right at the No.

8 playoff position. As Howard Beck wrote in The New York Times, Anthony’s decision in the summer might come down to staying in New York versus winning elsewhere. “I want to be a free agent,” Anthony tells me, as our cigars burn close to the nub. “I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career. It’s like you have an evaluation period, you know. It’s like if I’m in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience.” Take a breath, Knicks fans. That doesn’t mean he’s leaving. “I came to New York for a reason,” Anthony adds. “I’ve been with you all my life, almost to a fault. I wanted to come here and take on the pressures of playing in New York. So one thing I would tell my fans: If you haven’t heard it from me, then it ain’t true.” *** Like many modern hoops stars, Anthony talks openly about balancing “the game of basketball and the business of basketball,” which fans understandably hear as athlete-speak for “no promises.” Still, it’s hard to imagine him leaving the city. His family is settling into a new place on the Upper East Side, and his son has just started the first grade. In fact, Anthony has come to the cigar lounge straight from a parent-teacher conference. With his custom conversion van waiting outside, Anthony stretches out his legs and

seems to enjoy the relative peace of the mezzanine, even with the tape recorder whirring. “I feel like I’m a people’s person,” he says. “But sometimes I just want to find spots like this, low-key spots, and chill out and relax.” Or hang with his family. According to Anthony’s wife, La La, a celebrity in her own right, finding private time is a priority for the public couple. “The public can’t get inside our house, but we like to do a lot of things,” she says. “We like to go to the movies. We might go five minutes after it starts and sneak in the back row, but you find ways.” Without a Wall Street stop on today’s agenda, Anthony is dressed casually, in jeans and a military-inspired button-up (camo is one of his sartorial staples). I wonder if the 6-foot-8 superstar is ever really able to blend in, though, darkened theaters notwithstanding. “No! Hell no,” he laughs. Which reminds me: Have you heard the one about the Hasid and the elevator? Carmelo Anthony and a Hasidic Jew walk into an elevator.

Jacqueline Kennedy and Caroline, Hyannis Port, 04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com1959

The works of acclaimed photographer Mark Shaw, whose images appeared in Life, Vanity Fair and other magazines during the 1950s and 1960s, is now on display at Utica’s Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. American Royalty: The Kennedys, Fashion & Celebrity is truly a Shaw showcase: He covered Hollywood, fashion shows, and most of all, the Kennedys. The exhibition offers the first museum presentation of Shaw’s images, not only focusing on his photos but also evoking the era in which he operated. Clearly, the exhibit’s strength lies in Shaw’s photos of John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy and their children. Because of his friendship with the Kennedys, he was able to photograph them in informal situations: at the beach, sailing off Nantucket Sound, on the back steps of the White House. These images pose a paradox. They were taken roughly 50 years ago and depict subjects known to almost everyone who views the show. Yet Shaw’s best photos convey intimacy and immediacy, a sense of living in the moment. There are images of Jackie Kennedy drying daughter Caroline after a swim; of her twirling her daughter in the surf; of the two of them with Jack Kennedy. In one scene, the three of them sit on the grass, and Caroline tries to pinch her father’s nose. Shaw, like other skilled photographers, picks up details in his images. In the shot of the Kennedy family sailing, rolling waves dominate the background. A photo of Jacqueline Kennedy leads

the viewer’s eye downward from her hand petting a horse to another horse just to the right to grass and wild flowers at ground level. And in the image of Jacqueline wrapping up Caroline with a towel, a tiny object, perhaps a child’s shirt, sits on the ground. Shaw consistently shot everyday scenes and was still able to create incisive images. Beyond the photographs, the exhibit displays artifacts documenting Shaw’s friendship with the Kennedys. Indeed, there’s a copy of a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy that discusses images of her and John F. Kennedy Jr. She compares one of Shaw’s shots to a Caravaggio painting. Another sector of the exhibit references the fashion shows Shaw photographed in Paris and various assignments pertaining to celebrities. The show displays images of Grace Kelly, a young Brigitte Bardot, artist Pablo Picasso and model Bettina Graziana at a Cannes villa, and fashion icons Coco Chanel and Yves St. Laurent. When a photo exhibition depicts familiar subjects, it’s not possible to view images in complete isolation. We view a photo and access our memories. Shaw, for example, took a photo of Jack and Jackie Kennedy riding in a white convertible during a 1960 campaign stop in Wheeling, W.Va. The image nicely captures a color guard, dressed in white, marching behind the car, and a few stores by the parade route. Yet it’s hard to see that photo and not think of another ride in a convertible: the one that took place Nov. 22, 1963, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. On another level, the exhibition presents images taken by a photographer who was part of a sea change in coverage of political figures. During the early 1960s, that coverage changed, with greater emphasis on covering politicians as personalities. That trend has continued in the decades since then. American Royalty also raises questions about what we know of public figures. Shaw’s images certainly convey the Kennedys’ love and affection for their children. At the same time, we don’t know them as a family. Ultimately, the exhibition succeeds by showing Shaw’s work in depth, by presenting 50 of his photos, and by choosing wisely from a large portfolio he created over several decades. That success comes in spite of a clunker of a title. The Kennedys weren’t America’s royalty when Shaw was photographing them or any time thereafter. However, a title does little to either elevate or undermine a show. This is a vibrant, interesting exhibit. SNT American Royalty runs through May 4 at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, 310 Genesee St., Utica. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students. For more information, call 797-0000.

SYR Poster Project

2014

Each year, the Syracuse Poster Project brings together community poets and Syracuse University artists to create art to display on the city’s poster panels. This year’s series is being unveiled 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 10, at City Hall Commons, 201 E. Washington St. This year’s series includes 16 posters by advanced illustration students and one poster by Chad Wallace, a visiting instructor in the illustration program. The posters are paired with haiku composed by writers from throughout the community about downtown, the city or the nearby countryside. The posters remain on display for a year. Thursday, the poets and artists will meet for the first time. The project, founded in 2001, is made possible by in-kind support from The Downtown Committee and by financial support from corporate sponsors: Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, Anaren Microwave, Byrne Dairy, Geddes Federal Savings and Loan Association, KS&R, King & King Architects, Hueber-Breuer Construction Corp. and Rocky’s Cigars. This year’s series also received money from Tomorrow’s Neighborhoods Today and CNY Arts, a re-grant program of the state Council on the Arts. The Poster Project sells poster products, including poster prints, note cards and poetry booklets. Prints can be purchased at Eureka Crafts, in Armory Square; at the Copy Centers, 131 S. Salina St.; and at the Poster Project’s online store: www. posterproject.org. All proceeds help the project become self-sustaining. SNT

S REVIEW

yracuse Shakespeare Festival, Ronnie Bell’s company that puts on free plays at Thornden Park during the summer, moves indoors during the cold. Winter is also a time to move away from Bardolotry to consider some other theater from 300-plus years ago, while also giving different directors a chance to take charge. For the two one-act comedies at the Syracuse University Warehouse Theater, The Suitors and Commedia (running through Sunday, April 13), two women are calling the shots. Veteran actress and director Judith Harris guides the little-known The Suitors, while Lynn Barbato-King helms Commedia, in which new, anonymous material is arranged in Renaissance format. Early French comedy usually means Moliere, but The Suitors is by Jean Racine (1639-1699), known for heavyweight poetic tragedies like Andromache (1667). His only comedy, titled in French Les Plaideurs, appeared the next year. The title contains a pun, as the verb plaider may mean to press a legal case in court, to bring a suit, or to ask for someone’s hand in marriage, become a suitor. As one might expect, The Suitors follows lawsuits and love quests at the same time. It’s a satire with elements of farce but no slamming doors, with lots of wordplay. A tangled knot of plot squeezes into an hour of action, and summarizing it for clarity is a disservice. A sitting judge, Nigaud (Sam Tamburo), has gone bonkers without any thought that he might be removed. His romantically inclined son Leandre (Jesse Navagh) has the

04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com

jones for an inaccessible lovely named Isabelle (Juliana Beratta), unfortunately the daughter of the greatest generator of frivolous lawsuits in an otherwise quiet town in Normandy. Isabelle’s father is a scowling but apparently ambitious bourgeois named Chicanneau (Bob Reid). To promote his cases, Chicanneau often finds himself jostling up against another lover of litigation from a higher station, the Countess (Cathy Greer-English). As costumer Barbara Toman has dressed the cast in 1920s outfits, the Countess stops traffic with a whitefringed flapper outfit and cloche hat. With the help of the useful LeClerc (Robert Miller), seen in straw fedora, Leandre is able to pitch woo to Isabelle and also get her terrible-tempered, but careless, father, to sign one document (uh-oh). Rushing back to court, we see the deranged judge trying a dog for

eating some chickens. Wearing judicial robes while arguing for the defense of the dog is the porter-factotum Petit Jean (Peter Dowling), who previously provided much exposition. Observing the trial is a Prompter (Frankter Natera), wearing clown shoes. The uncredited dog, reputedly belonging to the English family, never misses a cue. In its frenzied hour The Suitors brings many technical demands. Knocking sounds for unseen doors are perfectly timed, but lighting shifts in scene changes are not always there. A strobe light with manic Benny Hill-like traveling music during chase scenes appears a bit too often. Scenic designer Navroz Dabu’s illuminated panels evoke a Gallic street scene. In her program notes for Commedia, director Lynn Barbato-King writes that “anything goes. The actors are in the driver’s seat.” So when no writers are credited we assume the actors provided their own lines. Dottore (Christopher Best) quotes Shakespeare, and Arlecchino (Rahshon Glover) quotes Marlon Brando’s Godfather many, many times. Her title implies homage to commedia dell’arte, the original improvisation theater that began in Italy during the Renaissance and then flourished all over Europe for about two centuries, including the times of Shakespeare and Jean Racine. Actors assume a defined persona, such as the self-important Dottore and the witty, multicolored Arlecchino (Harlequin in his French incarnation). Originally, commedia dell’arte could include some fairly violent slapstick (a stick made of many shingles for more noise), and gags really made up on the spot. Players indeed seem to be flying off in different directions. Patrizia (Sara Caliva) breaks into a noisy rap routine from time to time, the only cast member to go there. But elsewhere Commedia feels more like vaudeville, often with the verbal rhythms of Groucho Marx, such as Dottore’s advice to his son, Patrizio (Kevin Fitzpatrick) to get on with life: “Spend more time looking at boobs instead of being one.”SNT

Topic: Stage

As reviewer James MacKillop points out, Joseph Midyett as Tom (in this Michael Davis photograph) certainly does bear a take resemblance to author Tennessee Williams, shown here in a 1965 photo during a celebration of The Glass Menagerie’s 20th anniversary.

Classic Reillustrated

t does not really matter that Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie ranks high on the list of the greatest American plays of the last 100 years. More importantly, it is the most loved. Teachers cannot kill affection for it by making it assigned reading. That’s why this is the third Syracuse Stage production, after 1979 (directed by Arthur Storch) and 1999.

REVIEW

That love, along with a familiarity with every line (“ in love with long distance,” “blue roses”), puts a heavy burden on director and performers: How do you honor what makes audiences cherish about Menagerie while getting them to look at it anew? What director Timothy Bond has done with this production (running through April 27) is to get you to put aside the other versions on stage or screen to experience the crushing of a tender hope as if for the first time. One step toward this goal is to return to Williams’ original script, which grounds the action in the expressionism he embraced in his youth and was still popular until World War II. There are no props, other than the glass figurines, so characters mime drinking coffee or carrying trays. In dialogue Williams describes what we are seeing as a “memory play,” the first coinage of that now familiar term, which he defines as “truth in the pleasant guise of illusion.” To underscore the artificiality of what unfolds, Bond includes Williams’ projected titles, which are sometimes key lines of dialogue (“How lucky dead people are”) or comments

on the tone and action (“Crusts of humility”). Often, alas, these do not seem like such a good idea. When Amanda learns of the Gentleman Caller’s premature departure, the unnecessary words flashed up are, “The sky falls.” Enhancing the expressionist conception of Menagerie is William Bloodgood’s surreal set. Above the action are about a dozen window frames because, after all, we are peeking into the private life of the Wingfield family. In an instant those windows can be switched to screens, sometimes with continuous images of items or themes cited in the dialogue. At times we see a smiling mug shot of the missing Wingfield father, the “telephone man.” Bloodgood gives us a stylized fire escape, removed and set above at stage right. Other productions have put Tom the narrator on a fire escape at the side, escaping the summer heat of the apartment. Bloodgood puts the actual fire escape in front and below, so that characters seem to exit to a pit. Amanda really has to scream after Tom when he disappears from sight.

The actors in the three Wingfield roles look as though they might not be in the same family, appropriately. Dark Joseph Midyett as Tom has been outfitted with a mustache, mischievously to evoke pictures of a youngish playwright Williams posted in the Syracuse Stage lobby. His accent sounds socially downscale from his mother’s, perhaps a result of time working in the shoe warehouse. This helpfully reduces the preciousness of Tom’s prose poetry and also adds an edge to Tom’s surly exchanges with the mother, while retaining deep empathy for vulnerable Laura. That mother, Amanda Wingfield (Elizabeth Hess), is not a grande dame in the mold of Katharine Hepburn, even if that’s the way she sees herself. Like Polonius in Hamlet, she says silly things but still holds our affections. Hess is a tall strawberry blonde, not unlike a younger Maggie Smith. Bond has Amanda place her hands above her head often, a self-dramatizing Episcopal Isadora Duncan. Her absurd, outdated cotillion dress (thanks to costume designer Jessica Ford) might make us wince. But Hess will not allow us to stomp on her needfulness. When the evening fails, and, yes, “the sky falls,” we can empathize with Amanda’s shock and disappointment, even if her vocalizing keeps the event short of tragedy. The lobby photograph of Adriana Gaviria, who plays Laura, reveals a leading lady beauty, but you’d never guess it on stage. Bond makes Laura so mousy that she’s almost invisible until the horrible night. When invited to the dinner table, she must cross the entire stage, emphasized by Dawn Chiang’s lighting, clanking what she wishes to hide: her bad leg. When the clueless Gentleman Caller, Jim O’Connor (an excellent Michael Kirby), talks downstage to Laura about her collection, the production reaches its most beautiful and anguished moments. A gum-chewing go-getter, Jim means no harm, even when he diagnoses her inferiority complex. He cannot know that his kiss wreaks more damage than anything he says or does. SNT

nn Hamilton is a versatile artist who has created textiles, photos, prints and sculpture, yet she’s best known for large-scale, multimedia installations. Her new video piece, featuring the lowercase title table of contents, will begin screenings this week at the Everson Museum of Art, 401 Harrison St. The video will be projected outdoors at the Everson’s north façade wall Thursdays through Sundays, dusk until 11 p.m.

For Hamilton, this is just the latest in a series of installations and exhibits presented around the United States and abroad. During April, for example, she will display some of her photo prints at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. In the past, her work has appeared at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City; Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto, Japan; Histroiska Museet in Stockholm, Sweden; and other venues. Hamilton has received numerous awards including the NEA Visual Arts Fellowship, the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, the Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture and the MacArthur Fellowship.

She’s incorporated various interests and skills into her installations: an ability to work large while retaining a sense of intimacy, an exploration of public spaces and an investigation of sensory influences. Her latest piece began after she saw a music performance titled “table of contents,” by composer David Lang. There’s an interest in connections or contrasts between seeing and hearing. Presentation of her work in Syracuse comes via the Urban Video Project, a multimedia public art initiative of Light Work Gallery and Syracuse University in partnership with the Everson Museum. The project is part of the Connective Corridor. Hamilton’s table of contents runs through May 31. SNT

Destined to Drum

The normal story goes like this: Musician starts playing as a child, studies music during his or her wonder years, forms a band, tries to make it big and scrambles for press, gigs and possibly fame. The musicmaker either works his or her way up to a point of success, which varies in definition — or else gives up trying. Byron Cage is a different story. Cage describes his start on drums as one of a spectator. He had older brothers, parents and cousins who played, but he didn’t own his own drum set until he was a junior at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. He graduated in 2006, followed by a career that has included playing with Boyd Tinsley (of the Dave Matthews Band) and touring the world with musicians such as Tommy Castro and Joe Louis Walker. He also surrendered his gig with Castro to save his brother’s life by giving him his kidney. Cage’s story is very different. “It seems like things just come (to me), but I can’t attribute that to me necessarily other than just being ready and networking,” Cage says. “You’ve got to go out to all the jams, go to the shows. Networking is marketing for yourself. You’re a business owner. I am my business. It’s something a lot of musicians take for granted, but it’s huge. If you’re not out there meeting people, then no one’s saying, ‘Hey, I know a guy that might be free (for a gig).’ You won’t be able to take advantage of those opportunities.” Cage’s father was a pastor and musician at Eternal Worship Church on James Street, so gospel music was in his blood. But Cage went to Liberty to study psychology (he’s working toward his master’s degree now) and only really started digging into drums when a football injury halted the game for him. But once he dug in, he was drilling a hole to China. Cage was constantly getting asked to sit in on gospel and jazz gigs, improving as he went and keeping his ears open. He joined a band, 6 Chasing 7, and started learning keys.

“My father played piano, so I just listened and played what I heard,” Cage says. “I would come home on break and want to take a break from drums at church, so I sat behind the organ.” It was around that time when Tinsley was looking to produce a local band, and 6 Chasing 7 was pegged. “We got connected with Boyd and he was like, ‘Let’s get together and have some fun,’ and it was like, ‘You’re Boyd Tinsley! Sure,’” Cage recalls. The band recorded at Tinsley’s personal studio as well as Haunted Hollow, Dave Matthews’ studio. They thought it would just be a few tracks, yet it turned into an entire album, soon to be released. Once that happened, Cage started working with pianist James Pace, followed by a move to Nashville, which in turn led to playing with harmonica player and singer Jason Ricci. While on tour, Cage met Tommy Castro. “He was the nicest guy ever,” Cage recalls. When Ricci abruptly stopped touring, Cage was in a tough spot: He was never paid for the final tour and was suddenly left alone in Nashville. “I was playing for $20 a night,” he remembers. But Castro asked Cage to relocate to San Francisco to join his band. Cage bought a van for $700, packed up and headed west. Things were going well until Cage’s mother gave him some unfortunate news: His brother James needed a kidney transplant. It turned out that Cage was the closest match. Without skipping a beat, he stepped down from Castro’s band and moved home to help his brother. Soon after his brother’s recovery, Joe Louis Walker got wind of Cage’s free time and asked him to join the band. Today, Cage is on the road again. “It’s been a crazy ride so far,” Cage says. “But you’ve got to stay ready for these opportunities. You’ve got to want to listen and learn. Unless you have a teachable attitude toward it, you won’t pick anything up. I don’t mind sitting behind someone and watching and learning. I love to do that. It’s one of those things: If you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way to create what you need.” SNT

In Other News: The 2014 New York State Blues Festival, slated for July 18 and 19 in downtown Syracuse’s

Clinton Square, has enlisted headliners including Pop Chubby, Dana Fuchs, Trampled Underfoot, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Johnny Rawls, Mark Hummel and Shakura S’Aida. Local favorites such as the Carolyn Kelly Blues Band, Colin Aberdeen and the Barking Loungers, Dr. Killdean and the Ripcords will also perform. “We are all excited to bring this caliber of entertainment to the 22nd New York State Blues Festival,” festival director Jim Murphy says. “We encourage everyone to put on their dancing shoes and join us for two days of great music throughout the downtown district.”

quote from the artist

“My father passed away in 2009, two weeks before I started touring. I asked him about it. He said, ‘You know what, son? Do it. You won’t know what it’s like until you get out there and do it.’ That’s the last conversation we had about the music thing. He kind of gave me an order. I have to be successful because that’s the last thing we spoke about. It’s another reason I worked so hard studying and getting ready, nailing the gig. It’s emotional. Every time I go out of the country, I know Dad can see me doing what I’m doing, what we talked about, what he told me to do. I’m not doing it just for me.”

Local Connections Jesse Collins Quartet, Free To Be Free (2013): Cage plays drums on the Syracuse Area Music Award-winning album. Emanuel Washington of Sophistafunk: Cage’s uncle is Washington’s godfather. They met in Syracuse in 2004. “I love him,” Cage says, “his energy and style.” Mike Kelly, Gustav Hoffman and Alex Boatman: Cage records and performs with these musicians when he’s in town. “It’s a departure from what I would normally do and I think that’s why I like it so much,” he says. “I’ve learned so many tunes of different styles and it’s opening me up.” They recently started a project called Good Ghost. Melissa Gardner: After meeting while working on Jesse Collins’ project, the two hit it off. “We have some international dates in the works under her name and we are looking to put a New Orleans-style brass band together in Syracuse,” he says. Key Release: Tommy Castro and the Painkillers, The Devil You Know (2014): Cage is a player on the album as well as a songwriting contributor. Other big names on the disc: Marcia Ball, Joe Bonamassa, Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish and the J. Geils Band’s Magic Dick. Alex Boatman: “He’s a phenomenal talent, one of the most professional, humble guys I’ve ever met in my life. It blows my mind. I look him up on Facebook and he’s in New York one night, Arizona now. It’s like, weren’t you just rehearsing with us two days ago? He’s a machine: Hard work and networking certainly got him some connections in the business. He’s helped fill in with the Boatmen a few times. He’s able to do homework on the fly. Give him lists of songs, no rehearsals and he’ll show up at the gig and know how to do it. He’s constantly learning.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Freedom is the most important kind of joy you can seek right now. It’s also the most important subject to study and think about, as well as the most important skill to hone. I advise you to make sure that freedom is flowing through your brain and welling up in your heart and spiraling through your loins. Write synonyms for “freedom” on your arm with a felt-tip pen: liberation, emancipation, independence, leeway, spaciousness, carte blanche, self-determination, dispensation. Here’s one more tip: Connect yourself with people who love and cultivate the same type of freedom you do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s Love Your Messes Week, Taurus. In accordance with the astrological omens, you are authorized to love the hell out of the messes in your life -- from the small, awkward knots of confusion to the big, beautiful heaps of fertile chaos. This is not a time to feel embarrassed or apologize for your messes; not a time to shy away from them or ignore them. On the contrary, you should explore them, celebrate them, and even take advantage of them. Whatever else they are, your messes are untapped sources of energy. Learn to love them for the mysterious lessons they keep teaching you. Love them for the courage and willpower they compel you to summon. Love them for the novelty they bring your way and the interesting stories they add to your personal legend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “A snowball’s chance in hell” is an American idiom that’s equivalent to saying “it probably won’t happen.” After all, a snowball would instantly melt if exposed to the scorching fires that rage in the underworld. But what if there’s an exception to this axiom? Let’s call on another American idiom: “when hell freezes over.” It’s another way to say “it probably won’t happen.” But the truth is that now and then a cold front does indeed sweep through the infernal region, icing its flames. When that happens, a snowball’s prospects of surviving there improve dramatically. And that’s exactly what I predict will happen for you in the coming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22) In 2007, J.K.

psychologist Timothy Leary. That’s good advice for you to keep in mind in the near future. You might want to find a way to carry on constructive dialogues with people who have a hard time understanding you. It’s not necessarily that they are stupid or resistant to your charms. The problem is that they haven’t experienced some of the critical transformations you have. They can’t be expected to converse with you in your butterfly language. Are you willing and able to speak caterpillar?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Are you thinking of linking your fortunes to a new ally? Or deepening your

collaboration with a familiar ally? Have you fantasized about bonding intensely with a source that may be able to give you more of what you want and bring out more of the best in you? These prospects are worth contemplating, Libra. But I suggest you let your connection ripen a bit more before finalizing the shift. I’m not necessarily saying there’s a potential problem. I simply suspect that you need further exploration and additional information before you can make the smartest move possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)When you see your shadow, it’s usually right next to you. It’s there on the ground or floor, a fuzzy black shape that follows you around closely. But today I saw my shadow waving back at me from afar. I was standing on top of a hill, and the sun’s rays created a dusky version of me in the meadow way down below. I think this is a useful metaphor for an opportunity that’s available to you. In the coming days, you will be able to view the shadowy, undeveloped parts of your personality as if from a distance. That means you will have more objectivity about them, and thus greater compassion. You can get a calm, clear sense of how they might be mucking with your happiness and how you could transform them.

until the end of 2014. (It will make another visit from June to September 2015.) What does that mean? I have a view of Saturn that’s different from many astrologers. They regard it as the planet of limitation, struggle and difficulty. Here’s what I think: While Saturn may push you to be extra-tough and work super-hard, it also inspires you to cut away extraneous desires and home in on your deepest purpose. It motivates you to build strong structures that free you to express yourself with maximum efficiency and grace.

story she was to spend the next 17 years working on. She knew the climax right from the beginning. I foresee a similar theme unfolding for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. As you plot a project you will be developing for a long time to come, you will have a vision of what it will be when it becomes fully mature.

assignment was to imitate an old master. My choice was the Flemish painter Pieter Breugel the Elder (15251569). I worked on reproducing his painting “The Fight Between Carnival and Lent” as precisely as I could. It was tedious and liberating. I invoked Breugel’s spirit and prayed for his guidance. I sank my psyche deeply into his. By the end of the four-week process I’d learned a lot about painting. Given the current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest you try something similar. Pick someone who excels as a way of working or a state of being that you would like to master yourself, and copy that person for a while. For best results, have fun with it. Play!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Capricorn author J.R.R. Tolkien spent 14 years working on The Lord of the Rings. In using a typewriter to produce more than 1,200 pages, he relied solely on his two index fingers. He never learned the 10-finger typing method. I suppose it didn’t matter in the end. Presumably, his impediment didn’t affect the quality of his work, but only made it harder to accomplish and required him to spend a lot more time. Is there a fixable limitation on your own ability to achieve your dream, Capricorn? Is there some handicap you could, with effort, overcome? If so, now would be an excellent time to begin.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “The truth’s superb surprise,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson, may be “too bright for our infirm delight.” Sometimes we’ve got to be careful about articulating what’s really going on. “The truth must dazzle gradually,” she said. If it hits us too fast and hard, it may be difficult to digest. So did Emily suggest that we should lie and deceive? No. “Tell all the truth,” she declared, “but tell it slant.” This is excellent advice for you in the coming days, Aquarius.

You are not dazedly trudging along a narrow track laid down by thousands of sheep. Instead, you are lively and creative as you bushwhack a path for yourself through the wilderness. To celebrate this ongoing success, Pisces, I suggest you get yourself a new power object that symbolizes your inventive devotion.

The Hogan Block apartment of Arthur Dessin and Julie Albanese overlooks South Franklin street in Armory Square. Photo by Gloria Wright

he apartment on the top floor of the Hogan Block Building in Armory Square is just 765 square feet. Tucked into that space are a large living room, galley kitchen, one bathroom and one bedroom with a walk-in closet. “It’s fine. We’re only two, and we’re never here,” said Arthur Dessin, who lives at 247 W. Fayette St. with Julie Albanese. The two looked at apartments with 1,100 and 1,200 square feet, but the spaces felt smaller. “This looks bigger because of the ceilings,’’ he said. The 12-foot-high ceilings are from the building’s past. It was built by attorney Thomas Hogan in 1895 to house a warehouse, retail business and restaurant. Now, the building houses Pastabilities restaurant, Mr. Shop clothing store, offices and apartments. The apartments were among the first living spaces to be developed in Armory Square, in 1985 and 1986. Dessin and Albanese have lived in the Hogan Block Building for 11 months. Before that, they had an apartment above Al’s Wine & Whiskey Lounge, 321 S. Clinton St. They hope to move again, to another, quieter, apartment in the Hogan Block Building that overlooks an interior courtyard, not the street. Although the view lately has been of hotel construction and street work, in the summer, the couple can see the outdoor tables at Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub. “You can’t beat living downtown in the summer,” Albanese said. “I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. … It’s convenient. You can walk to everything, including all the festivals in the summer.” “And we get the view of the sunset,’’ Dessin said.

04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com

The couple pay $925 a month in rent, plus utilities, which average about $85 a month, Dessin said. Last month, they got the same rude surprise as many people in this cold winter: The utility bill jumped to $170. Dessin, digital sales manager for CNY Central, and Albanese, a registered nurse at SUNY Upstate Medical University, eat out three nights a week and cook four nights a week. They love the addition of Alamo’s Food Market, which opened in late December at 128 Walton St. “They have everything,’’ Albanese said. Albanese is one of many nurses, doctors and medical students who call downtown home. She often sees her orthopedic surgeon on the elevator, she said. Because the two work normal business hours, parking is generally not a problem. They often are coming home when many are leaving downtown to head home to the suburbs.

Herbs, Wine and the End of Winter

A PIECE OF MCSHANE’S HITS THE ROAD SOON

sk Cindy Baker if she misses McShane’s, the bar and restaurant in East Syracuse she owned and operated for more than a decade, and her answer is a decided “no.’’ She doesn’t miss juggling the duties of running both a restaurant and a bar. She doesn’t miss trying to draw diners to a restaurant off the beaten path in the eastern suburbs of Syracuse. She doesn’t miss worrying about the restaurant’s future. She does miss planning menus and dinner specials, greeting customers who became friends and the satisfaction that comes with getting a “thumbs up” from diners when they taste McShane’s secret recipe chicken or her traditional, tangy sauerbraten. For her next chapter, Baker will take a piece of McShane’s on the road — the signature seasoned chicken, along with some new dishes — as The Chicken Bandit, a food truck in progress. Baker and her partner, Dennis Souva, are in the final stages of preparing The Chicken Bandit for its first season on the summer circuit in Central New York. They bought a 19-foot former utility truck, which has spent the winter being gutted and remodeled at Master Chef, in Brooklyn, to include a custom kitchen, ventilation system and service windows on each side. Next stop is Voss Signs, for final exterior touches, including an eye-catching vehicle wrap. McShane’s Restaurant gained prominence when it was featured on Food Network’s “Restaurant Impossible’’ in 2011. Chef Robert Irvine’s re-do of the restaurant added some gloss to the dining room and some gourmet touches to the menu and brought an influx of curiosity seekers to what Baker calls the former “workingman’s bar.” But the restaurant was never able to shed its beer-and-shot bar reputation and bring in the steady dining clientele it needed to survive.

The Chicken Bandit menu has been through several revisions since McShane’s closed in May and planning for the food truck began. Baker planned to include foods that reflect her German heritage but has settled on a fusion of American and ethnic fare with a twist and about a dozen menu items. Heading the list is McShane’s signature chicken, which is deep-fried (minus breading or batter) and dusted with a top-secret combination of spices, and will be available as a quarter- or half-chicken option. The menu also features, among other things, Banh Mi (a spicy Vietnamese sandwich made with freshly ground pork); a curry dish, Chicken Tikka Masala, served with white or brown rice; the Mother Clucker, a chicken schnitzel sandwich; and a vegetable stir-fry with a zippy sauce, served with udon noodles. Side dishes include coleslaw, meaty baked beans, truck-made kettle chips and spaetzle mac and cheese, a twist on the classic, comforting German dish. “It’s coming together,’’ Souva says. “Cindy has been testing recipes. ... I’ve been tasting the recipes.’’ Souva has been designing signs and menu boards and handling many of the “mundane business details,” including permits, applications and licenses, that come with getting a food truck road ready. Several regular locations for Chicken Bandit presence are pending, and they have booked several private parties. “We can’t wait to get out there and bring our food to people,’’ Baker says. SNT

Snow is melting. Birds are singing. Crocuses, daffodils and tulips are poking through. It’s springtime in the Finger Lakes. Welcome it — embrace it! — with an event to get your garden on: the Wine and Herb Festival on the Cayuga Wine Trail. This is the 22nd year for the Wine and Herb Festival. The event is held over two weekends, April 25-27 and May 2-4. Hours are 1 to 5 p.m. both Fridays at Montezuma, King Ferry, Long Point and Six Mile Creek wineries only. On each Saturday of the event, visit the wineries on the east side of the lake: Long Point and King Ferry, starting at 9 a.m. Visit the rest of the wineries 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (17 in all). Visitors receive a souvenir wine glass, a plant carrier, plus a garden plan and instructions. For the Wine and Herb Festival, each wine is paired with an herb-infused dish complimenting the plant each winery is giving away. Select herbs include: cilantro, dill, Italian large-leaf basil, lemon basil, oregano, parsley, purple basil, rosemary, sage, thyme and tarragon. Vegetable plants include peppers, salad mix and tomatoes. Advance sale tickets are $40 ($60 per couple) plus handling fee and sales tax. Designated driver tickets are available.

FASHION WEEK STRUTS INTO SYRACUSE

isa Butler promises that the Syracuse Fashion Week, happening April 9 to 12, will be something this city has never seen before. Not only will the event combine fashion, art, food and music (while benefiting the Food Bank of CNY) – it will also feature everything from body painting to magic tricks, burlesque dancers to nude sushi. “I went to the Rochester Fashion Week last year and was very inspired,” Butler says. “I got a glimpse of what they do and thought we could expand to include more events, runway shows, venues. If Rochester has a great one, Syracuse can too.” The week includes events that take place throughout the city, featuring different personalities and themes. The opening gala at the Landmark Theatre will be more traditional, with jazz and a red carpet. Thursday’s Underground Show at Marisa’s Fortress of Beauty will get grungy but chic, with a dirty rock n’ roll vibe. Friday will feature the biker attitude of the Dinosaur Bar-BQue with a vintage twist, and Saturday’s shopping day will allow attendees to purchase pieces for their own daily fashion shows. Runway shows will feature everything from the fitness fashion of Lululemon to the biker accessories of Oil City Customs, and ticket sales will benefit the Food Bank of CNY. “It’s a natural connection,” Butler says. “Food and fashion. Everybody needs to eat. Everybody needs to wear clothes. They’re two of the three basic needs.”

04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com

Butler started presenting fashion events in 2005, holding the first few at Ohm (now Benjamin’s on Franklin). Over the years, the event has grown in size and scope, now reaching a new level. “We’re blowing it out of the water this year,” Butler says. She also notes the collaborative efforts of her team, including Anna Diaz and Shannon Fleming, who have helped take care of the various pieces of the very large and always moving puzzle. Hair, make-up, models, venues, music, vendors and more compose the long list of elements. Butler is grateful the pieces came together as well as they did, resulting in her ultimate goal: to bring people, companies and organizations together. “We’re a small city,” she says. “Everybody knows everybody, and we all need to support each other. We need to come together. Businesses compete, but primarily my goal has been to bring different parts of our little Syracuse world together and make it a big collaboration. That’s what the best events always do. It’s not just one person doing one thing. No one wants that. I want a Syracuse Fashion Week.” SNT

GIRLS WEAR SPECIAL LACROSSE GEAR TO PREVENT HEAD INJURIES

he Bishop Ludden/Bishop Grimes combined girls lacrosse varsity program is taking a head-on approach to concussion prevention.

For the second straight year, the Lady Knights are wearing protective head gear: soft black helmets that wrap 360 degrees around the head. The head gear is designed to protect the head from injury. While a handful of Section III players have sported the head gear during competition, Ludden/Grimes is one of the few teams on which every player wears one. Spring practice started March 10. “Sometimes sticks are flying,” says Seanna Laneve, an 18-year-old senior at Bishop Grimes. “Now if we get hit in the head, it doesn’t affect us like if we didn’t wear them.” Concussions, a brain injury caused by a blow or trauma to the head or body, are a serious issue for school-age athletes because of the possible long-term health risks stemming from sports-related head injuries. According to U.S. Lacrosse, most concussions happen without loss of consciousness; symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion and memory loss. The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council reported in the fall that sport concussion rates for female high school and college athletes were highest for soccer, lacrosse and basketball. For males, it was for football, ice hockey, lacrosse, wrestling and soccer.

04.09.14 - 04.16.14 | syracusenewtimes.com

Section III Athletics follows the guidelines and protocol of the National Federation of State High School Associations regarding concussions. An athlete diagnosed with a concussion is restricted from playing until cleared by a health-care professional. Girls lacrosse is different from boys lacrosse, as aggressive stick checking and body contact is illegal in the girls game. But unintentional and errant contact to a player’s head with a stick or ball occurs sometimes, Laneve says. “No one tries to hurt anyone. It just happens,” Laneve says. The state Public High School Athletic Association and Section III don’t require girls lacrosse players to wear head gear. But Ludden/Grimes coach Mark Shattuck made it mandatory for his team last year after a former player suffered a severe concussion at a summer tournament, then coped with post-concussion symptoms such as headaches and sensitivity to light. “When she got hurt, I said, ‘That’s enough,’ ” Shattuck says. “When on many occasions I saw doctors prescribing these helmets to players after the fact, that made no sense to me, so I decided to put them on everyone.” Shattuck’s daughter, Teresa, is a junior attacker for the

Lady Knights. The decision to wear head gear as a preemptive safety measure wasn’t embraced by players at first, but Teresa Shattuck and her teammates eventually came around to the idea. “We don’t mind them anymore. We get it’s about our safety,” Teresa Shattuck says. “I like wearing them, I feel a lot safer playing,” Bishop Ludden senior Nicole Granteed says. SNT

BODY & MIND

“While some cancers are unrelated to lifestyle, you will never get a drug or treatment that will be as effective (as these six preventative steps).”

QUICK TAKE

— Dr. Leslie Kohman, medical director of Upstate Cancer Center

By Marnie Blount-Gowen

Six Healthy Choices STOP SMOKING: Cigarettes are known as “cancer sticks” for a reason. Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body: your mouth, your bone marrow and your blood. Smokeless tobacco also causes cancer. About 3,000 non-smokers die yearly from lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke. SHUN THE SUN: Avoid ultraviolet sun exposure and when outside, use sunscreen. Wear clothing that covers your arms and legs. Wear a hat and sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays. Indoor tanning exposes users to UVA and UVB rays that can lead to cancer. People who begin tanning younger than age 35 have a 59 percent higher risk of melanoma. GET STUCK: Cancer vaccines are designed to boost the body’s natural ability to protect itself through the immune system. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved vaccines for the hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver cancer; and human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, which are responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancers.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES CAN CUT CANCER RISK

hen it comes to cancer prevention, we all have choices. Some will increase a person’s risk factors; others will make someone less likely to face a battle with cancer.

“Seventy percent of all cancers, heart disease and diabetes can be prevented,” says Dr. Leslie Kohman, SUNY distinguished service professor and medical director of Upstate Cancer Center. April is Cancer Control Month and in his official proclamation, President Barack Obama encourages “citizens, government agencies, private businesses, nonprofit organizations and other interested groups to join in activities that will increase awareness of what Americans can do to prevent cancer.” According to the National Cancer Institute, “Cancer prevention is action taken to lower the chance of getting cancer. Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor; anything that decreases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer protective factor.” Some risk factors for cancer can be avoided, but many cannot. For example, both smoking and inheriting certain genes are risk factors for some types of cancer, but only smoking can be avoided. By changing your lifestyle and eating habits, and avoiding things known to cause cancer, you can have your own cancer prevention program.

Here in Central New York, the days are getting warmer and sunnier. Now is a great time to get outside, be active and assess your lifestyle choices. Read the adjacent guidelines, and consider what you can do to reduce your risk factors and increase your protective factors for cancer and other chronic diseases. “While some cancers are unrelated to lifestyle, you will never get a drug or treatment that will be as effective (as these six preventative steps),” Kohman says. Cancer may strike in one’s lifetime, but the person most in control of preventing it or its reoccurrence is the individual. While health care professionals and researchers work to treat or cure cancer, they need our help to prevent it. Which leads to a question we can all ask ourselves: “What am I willing do today to reduce my risk factors and increase my protective factors against cancer?” SNT Marnie Blount-Gowan teaches meditation and mindfulness and is a member of the Crouse Hospital Integrated Health Alliance in Syracuse.

EAT AND DRINK LEAN: Limit high-calorie foods and drinks. Hold the line on processed and red meat. Eat at least two and a half cups of vegetables and fruits a day. Choose whole grains instead of refined products. And if you drink alcohol, keep it to no more than one drink a day for women and two per day for men. BE LEAN: Avoid excessive weight gain at all ages. For those who are overweight or obese, losing even a few pounds is a good place to start. Being overweight is linked to increased risk of many cancers including those of the breast, colon and rectum, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gallbladder, liver and ovaries. MOVE AROUND: Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week preferably spread throughout the week. Doing any physical activity above one’s usual level can have many health benefits. Limit sedentary pursuits that involve sitting or lying down. Source: American Cancer Society (cancer.org)

Made by a foreign company assembled in America? Frank DuBois, an associate professor at the Kogod School of Business at – yep – American University, created the “Kogod Made in America Index” to help us figure it all out. The index ranks vehicles in seven categories. It takes into account where a vehicle is assembled, how much of its content was made in America, where research and development was conducted and overall economic impact on the U.S. GM and Ford dominate the top of the list.

A Formula 1 for the Average Person

Volvo has been testing an S60 with the type of energy recovery system used in Formula 1 racing cars. If it works, it’ll be the first car that normal folks can buy with the hybrid Kinetic Energy Recovery System. (Some “too pricey for normals” models by McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari already have the system.) The system could reduce fuel consumption by up to 25 percent and provide an 80 horsepower boost over a normal car. The system works by storing the kinetic energy that’s normally lost as heat when the driver brakes. When the driver hits the gas again, that energy is transferred to the wheels through a specially designed transmission. Volvo says the system would be most effective during stop-and-start city driving. Volvo’s working with Flybrid Automotive to test the system. By around 2020, the cars could be in production, and high-tech driving systems won’t just be for race car drivers or billionaires. SNT

FACE TIME

The North Side Learning Center, a volunteer group started in 2009 to serve the refugee community, bought the former Holy Trinity TAKE Church, rectory and school building for $150,000. The former church, at 501 Park St., was constructed in 1891 to serve the growing German Catholic population.

QUICK

By Renée K. Gadoua

How did the plan to buy this property come about? More than 150 people contributed to finance this. A lot of business owners, refugees and business people, people from Utica helped. Some people literally gave us a dollar. Some people gave us $15,000. Some people gave us interest-free loans. Why open a mosque here? Location, location, location. The North Side is the magnet for refugees. The two agencies that work with refugees (InterFaith Works and Catholic Charities) are here. I wish people could see beyond CNN and see Muslims as individual people. What do you want people to know about your mosque? It’s a place of worship. Many good people came to America for religious freedom. That’s still the case. Most of our refugees have pretty heartbreaking stories. If they came here for refuge, we should give them refuge. What do you think is underneath the opposition?

Yusuf Soule is the volunteer executive director of North Side Learning Center. He also works as coordinator of OnCampus, a Syracuse City School District program for students with disabilities who attend classes on the Syracuse University campus. He describes himself as “raised Protestant in an Irish Catholic neighborhood” and converted to Islam.

Change is difficult for everyone, and this is certainly a major shift. This is the perfect place for the North Side Learning Center. This is mainly for the people of the North Side. We are not competing with anyone. The Islamic Society of Central New York serves the university area well. This would serve the North Side well. We have no place in this community to serve 5,000 people for our major holidays. How many people are really upset about it and how many will be served? Anyone who says la illaha il Allah muhammadir rasul Allah (no God except God, Muhammad is his messenger) is welcome. What will happen to Bob School (the city school district’s refugee assistance center)? The school district is leasing it through June. We hope we can work something out so it can stay.

Why do you want a fence around the property? Some people might interpret that as trying to keep people away. That is based on our prior location (808 N. McBride St., above the Family Dollar store), where there has been some trespassing and minor vandalism. We have to keep our volunteers safe. Every time we put up lights, people break them. There is a tavern across the street and perhaps unsavory things are going on there. We are wide open. We are not being secretive or insular. We want people to come and see what we’re doing. Tell me about the name of the mosque. We are calling it Masjit Isa Ibn Maryam, which means Mosque of Jesus the Son of Mary, to honor this neighborhood and its past. Why do you want to remove the crosses? When I drive home, I see thousands of crosses. I understand the sentiment. If you are a good Christian, I respect you. We are Muslim. We don’t use crosses. We are going to paint inside the church because we don’t honor icons. We can’t pray in a place that has images of animals or humans. They are beautiful, but when we are praying, there should be no images. We focus on praying to God and not being distracted. The only decorations inside a mosque are Arabic words. Do you think people are more upset that the building won’t be used as a church or that it will be used as a mosque? I don’t know if there’s underlying racism. I just don’t know. People say, “They’re going to convert people. And kill them.” Are you kidding me? We’re not evangelical. We’re not knocking on doors. We just want to do good things in the neighborhood.

MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU LOVE, BUT IT CAN BUY YOU INFLUENCE AND ELECTIONS

irst, Americans lost limits on campaign donations to political action committees, with the Citizens United ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Then, they lost protections in the Voting Rights Act (Shelby v. Holder). And now, they’ve lost more federal limits on political contributions in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Committee. What will the court do next? The McCutcheon case struck down limits on the total amount one person can contribute to political candidates, parties or political action committees. Supporters of the ruling tout such limitless donations as a First Amendment right to free speech. Baloney. The justices ruled as if they live in a separate universe where giving bags of money to politicians doesn’t corrupt the political process. What is the net effect? Look around. Those with the money wield power and influence. Last week, Jon Stewart on The Daily Show noted that recently there was a procession of GOP politicians to visit Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas casino magnate, to hear his views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Stewart said his grandmother has plenty of opinions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, too. He said she was sitting in New Jersey waiting for politicians to line up outside her door to hear what she has to say. The difference between Adelson and Mrs. Stewart is

that Adelson donated $92 million to Republicans during the 2012 election cycle. Mrs. Stewart, to be clear, didn’t. Yet the justices, in their bubble, maintain that limitless political donations aren’t corrupting, that they don’t buy access and advantage, that in the real world there’s no expectation that the donor will get something in exchange for, in Adelson’s case, $92 million. Ah huh. Let’s be clear. The example above notwithstanding, corruption isn’t a Republican thing. Democratic politicians don’t have some gene that renders them immune to being bought. But some people are happy to use a megaphone of money to drown out the voices of everyone else, and to discourage them from voting, too. The more disenfranchised, the better. Leaves the way clear for influence to be bought without, you know, democracy to mess up the game. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in a dissent that the McCutcheon ruling “eviscerates our nation’s campaign finance laws, leaving a remnant incapable of dealing with the grave problems of democratic legitimacy that those laws were intended to resolve.” This comes on the heels of the collapse of campaign

reform in the state. Pay-toplay is a frequently used term to describe money and politics in New York. According to a recent New York Public Interest Research Group analysis, 170 campaign contributors gave $28 million in increments of $50,000 or more to shadowy party committees and state candidates. To his credit, Gov. Andrew Cuomo included campaign reform in his budget. But then he buckled under pressure, or through calculation, during budget negotiations and disbanded his own Moreland Commission. That’s the commission that outlined Albany’s culture of corruption. In addition, he watered down his own campaign reform effort to include only a “pilot” program involving the state’s comptroller’s office. Last week was a good week for quid pro quo corruption, but not a good week for democracy. Ask yourself a simple question when you read NYPIRG’s list of political contributors: What do they want?

Cash Facts — The top 32 Super PAC donors, giving an average of $9.9 million each, matched the $313 million that President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney raised from all of their small donors combined (at least 3.7 million people giving less than $200 each). — Nearly 60 percent of Super PAC money came from 159 donors contributing at least $1 million. More than 93 percent of the money Super PACs raised came in contributions of at least $10,000 from just 3,318 donors, or the equivalent of 0.0011 percent of the U.S. population. — It would take 322,000 average-earning American families giving an equivalent share of their net worth to match Sheldon Adelson’s $91.8 million in Super PAC contributions. — Source: Demos

The New Times In the Media

On the March 28 edition of the Ivory Tower Half Hour on WCNY-TV, Kristi Anderson, political science professor at Syracuse University, gave an “A” to Ed Griffin-Nolan for his Sanity Fair column March 19, “Money for Nothing.” Andersen called the Sanity Fair essay at “powerful and nicely written indictment of our campaign finance system.” You can see the clip at tinyurl.com/m85kvmg; the reference is at about 23 minutes, 40 seconds. During the March 21 Ivory Tower, Andersen gave an “F” to a billboard on I-690 that shamelessly, and wrongly, claims abortions raise the risk of breast cancer. “This has been repeatedly debunked. Researchers found no link between breast cancer and either spontaneous or induced abortion,” she said. “I really hate this continuing dispersal of lies in hopes that they will stick.” Her comments drew “hear, hears” from at least two panelists. The New Times addressed this issue a year ago. The cover story April 10, 2013, was written by freelancer Renée K. Gadoua. While some opponents of abortion continue to say the link is accurate, medical experts overwhelmingly say science shows no link. As one of our sources said last year of those clinging to the misleading claim, “Don’t confuse me with the facts.” SNT

In case you missed it: A Syracuse native made history last week. Linda LeMura, provost at Le Moyne College, became the first laywoman — anywhere — to become president of a Jesuit institution of higher education. LeMura was appointed Le Moyne’s 14th president Thursday, April 3, after a unanimous vote of the college’s 33-member board of trustees. She succeeds Fred Pestello, who is leaving Le Moyne to lead St. Louis University, also a Jesuit school. During a short, emotional speech Friday morning at the college, LeMura gave a shout-out to her parents, who immigrated to the United States. “When my parents came to this country in 1950, with family in tow, of modest means, not knowing the language, who would have thought that one of their children would become the president of a Jesuit college in Syracuse, N.Y., in the United States of America?” Read the background at bit.ly/1ontne8 and watch LeMura’s speech at tinyurl.com/ mzhuzg3.
