City beatArtist Steve Powers eyes bridges for public art project

Beginning this week, artist Steve “ESPO” Powers will team with the Near Westside Initiative and the Connective Corridor to transform the corner of West Fayette and West streets into an eye-catching mural in-stallation titled “A Love Letter to Syracuse.”

The NWI has commissioned interna-tionally-known Powers to create a public art project to “visually disrupt” a physical barrier at the intersection of the Connective Corridor and Near Westside.

The gateway is used by thousands of commuters daily and provides access to downtown, but also acts as a natural barrier between the Near Westside and the rest of the city. Powers will transform the bridges into enormous pieces of public art, making the intersection more aesthetically interest-ing and pedestrian-friendly.

“The goal of the project is to ultimately bridge the Near Westside community to

downtown, which will give access to new markets and resources for residents in the neighborhood,” said Maarten Jacobs, direc-tor of the Near Westside Initiative.

Powers is a New York City-based artist who at one time wrote graffiti in Philadel-phia and New York under the name ESPO (”Exterior Surface Painting Outreach”). In 2000, he gave up graffiti to become a full-time studio artist.

In 2009, Powers created a mural project in West Philadelphia about the complexities and rewards of relationships called “A Love Letter For You.” Powers and his crew painted 50 murals along the elevated train on Market Street, inspired directly by residents who were canvassed about their feelings about the neighborhood. Powers translated those into largely text-based murals, focusing on the common struggles of the community and reframing them in a positive light.

Powers and several artists have canvassed Near Westside residents for inspiration. They held neighborhood meetings and went

door-to-door asking for input about the community. The inspiration for the Syracuse murals includes paying the bills, having nothing to do, the four seasons and people’s ultimate view that the city is a good place to live and raise a family.

The installation of “A Love Letter to Syra-cuse” began Tuesday Aug. 24. The first few days of the project consisted of Powers and his crew prepping the bridges for painting. Following their prep work, the murals will be painted onto the iron girders. In addition, documentary filmmaker Faythe Levine will be in Syracuse beginning Aug. 27 to film Powers and his crew during the installation process for her new film about the American tradition of sign painting.

Rural/Metro collecting supplies for Seymour students

Rural/Metro Medical Services of Syra-cuse is collecting school supplies to support its neighbor, the Seymour Dual Language Academy. As part of a relationship of more than 20 years, Rural/Metro is pleased to col-lect much-needed items for the more than 500 elementary students attending Seymour Dual Language Academy.

Rural/Metro will continue to collect items at their headquarters at 488 W. On-ondaga Street through Sept. 30.

“The need for supplies continues long after the back-to-school rush. Rural/Metro wants to make sure that the students at Sey-mour are supported with necessary supplies beyond the typical early September drives,” said Melissa Fleischmann, customer rela-tions manager.

Of particular need are basic items such as pencils, crayons, wide ruled paper, markers, and hand sanitizer. Rural/Metro provided 100 bottles of hand sanitizer to the school. Every donation, small or large is a welcome addition to the effort.

“Although many of these items are used in the classroom, in some cases, students are provided with necessary supplies to take home for the purpose of completing home-work assignments,” said Seymour Principal Marie Perkins.

A collection box for donations is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Rural/Metro’s headquarters location at 488 West Onon-daga Street in Syracuse. For additional infor-mation, contact Fleischmann at 701-7029.

The Seymour Dual Language Academy located at 108 Shonnard Street on Syracuse’s west side, serves approximately 500 students grades Pre-K through five.

By Ami [email protected]

They’re tiny bloodsucking pests that infest everything from furniture to picture frames to laptop computers, with no discrimination for race, age or social class, and they may be coming soon to a mattress near you.

This summer alone, bedbugs have been blamed for shutting down a Times Square movie theatre, a handful of major retail stores and offices for CNN and Elle magazine in New York City.

But bedbugs aren’t strictly a NYC prob-lem.

“The Health Department has been experi-encing an increase in bedbug calls over the last several years, from one to two a month to one to two a week, most of them from homeowners and tenants with a few insitutions included,” said Kevin Zimmerman, director of environ-mental health at the Onondaga County Health Department.

They are quickly becoming just as real a threat in Central New York, and Syracuse area residents stand to lose sleep over the issue.

What are bedbugs?Bedbugs are flat, wingless insects that

feed on blood. They follow the trail of CO2 expressed by their victims during their deep-est sleep stages, usually right before dawn. Bedbugs inject the bite site to prevent their prey from feeling the gruesome interaction, then they have their fill and scurry back into their hiding spots, usually around the seams of a mattress, inside bed frames or even inside cracks in ceilings and walls.

For most people, the small itchy bumps left behind are the only evidence of bedbugs’ presence in their home -- and some people don’t react to the bites.

Translation: you may have them, and not even know it.

Tiny black dots of bedbug waste along mat-tress seams, or spots of blood on your sheets are also indicators of an infestation.

Where are they?Since bedbugs love

the blood of sleeping hu-mans, its natural that they are most often found where large numbers of people sleep. Like, apartment complexes and dormitories.

This summer brought complaints of bed-bugs in senior housing in Skaneateles and Syracuse apartment buildings.

But despite the 7,800 students housed on campus at Syracuse University, only a handful of bedbug invasions have occurred in the last five years.

JD Tessier, director of housing and food services maintenance zone at SU, said of the few cases of bedbugs in SU dorms they’ve all been instances of residents bringing them in from somewhere else. For that, Tessier said he’s been lucky.

The block and concrete construction of most student housing helps deter the bugs, which are fond of structural cracks as well as textiles like bedding, rugs and drapes.

Isolating the infected area, laundering clothing, destroying mattresses and cleaning all surfaces, as well as having the room treated professionally by an exterminator, is part of the SU protocol, whether the pest is bedbugs or lice.

But for that process to be effective, the prob-lem must be easily contained -- which means students should alert Tessier to any problem immediately.

“Boy, when that call comes in here that there’s a complaint of bedbugs we run because we don’t want that to expand,” Tessier said.

Getting them gone for goodThere are a few key factors that have al-

lowed bedbugs to regain their foothold among household nighttime terrors. The number one factor: we can’t kill ‘em.

“The obstacles getting in the way of bed bug control are multi-faceted,” said research entomologist Jeffrey White, of bedbugcen-tral.com. “One of key reasons is the lack of

effective liquid residual pesticides.”

When DDT all but wiped out bedbugs in the mid-20th century, public awareness of the bugs followed suit. But in the meantime, bedbugs have become all resistant to pesticides and DDT has since been outlawed, making humans less of a threat to the bedbug.

Another factor is in-creased travel. Another is ignorance.

“Public education is going to be tremendously important to abating the spread of bed bugs,” said White.

The Onondaga County Health Depart-

ment’s monthly newsletter included bedbug tips, but since the bugs are not known to transmit disease, the department does not have enforcement authority for eradication, “except in permitted facilities such as hotels and motels where the sanitary code does not allow any insect infestations,” Zimmerman said.

Arm yourself with informationIt will be tough to fight an insect that most

people don’t even know exist, but with out-reach and education it will not be impossible.

A fact sheet is available online through the health department at ongov.net/health/news. And sites like bedbugcentral.com offer both advice for eliminating infestations and educa-tional information for preventing bedbugs.

Though Gov. Paterson this summer ve-toed a law that would have required mattress retailers to sanitize used mattresses to combat against the bugs, lawmakers have also passed a bill onto Paterson that would force landlords to disclose a rental unit’s bedbug history.

Think you have bedbugs?Don’t panic. Whatever you do, don’t sleep in

a different room or pack a bag to take to your friend’s home for the night because you’ll likely take hitchhikers with you.

There are loads of tips for DIY remedies, like placing each leg of your bed frame in a small dish filled with baby oil or liquid soap to keep the bugs from crawling in or out of your bed or lining the doorways into the “infected”

room with thick double-sided tape to trap escapees.

But it is almost impossible to eradicate them without help. Even professional exterminators typically apply three pesticide treatments to squash an invasion.

Calling the health department will get residents advice and tips, but there isn’t much else they can do.

“Of course our best advice is to use a profes-sional exterminator,” Zimmerman said.

The stranger in your bed: Bedbugs will keep you up at night

Something else to keep sleep awayIn 2005, the Syracuse University Press

published Clive Sinclair’s “Bedbugs,” a collection of short stories from the hu-morous to the outright bizarre.

Critics called the stories shocking, clever but extremely unpleas-ant, laugh-out-loud funny and powerfully written. And, like the tiny blood-suckers it’s named for, Sinclair’s stories will keep you up nights.

“Bedbugs” is available online at syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu.

The Comeback Bug

Bed bugs were first intro-duced into the Americas by the early colonists. By the early 20th Century bed bugs were common, but vitrually disappeared in the 1950’s, due to use of the pesticide DDT. Fifty years later, bed bugs have re-emerged as a blood-sucking pest.

What’s fostering the modern invasion?Increased worldwide travel have brought bed bugs back to America. In many cities there are large populations of illegal aliens or temporary workers that are constantly shifting in and out of group residences.

The Informer The Informer is so excited. Just when

we thought we’d snooze into November, campaign nerves have started to fray and there’s news from the fringe.

Carl Paladino has been a favorite of The Informer because he’s been fearless in mak-ing a mess out of lobbyist Rick Lazio’s Republican guber-natorial bid. But all

things come to an end. Paladino, the Buf-falo business guy, may have scuttled his future as news accounts emerge of his idea of sending the poor to re-education camps in empty prisons. Yikes! Inside the story is a Biden-esque remark about hygiene. (“I mean, you got the first mainstream Afri-can-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” -- VP Joe Biden on President Barack Obama.)

Don’t feel too sorry for Lazio, however, the Democratic would-be governor Prince Andrew Cuomo continues to say nothing

as he runs around the state echoing the policies of demonized outgoing Gov. David Paterson.

--Time Warner’s YNN Channel 10 is des-

perately trying to firm up an Aug. 30 debate in Syracuse between Rick Lazio and Carl Paladino. The stumbling block seems to be Lazio, the GOP designee, who’s reluctant to share his spotlight with the pesky Paladino. Paladino has resorted to name-call-ing, charactering Lazio as “chicken.” “You know, I’m going to send a chick-en after him,” Paladino told YNN. “I sent a duck after Cuomo. I’m go-ing to send a chicken after Lazio.” No response yet from the Lazio camp, but we suggest “Sticks and stone may break my bones…”

--And then there’s the mosque. Cuomo

endorses the building of it near Ground Zero; Paterson wants to move it and the state’s Democrat U.S. Senators Kirsten Gilibrand and Chuck Schumer are split. Gillibrand wants it built. Schumer for the

first time in memory has lost his tongue and is in hiding.

--Also ducking the mosque issue is be-

smirched Rep. Charlie Rangel’s Upstate connection, U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei, D-DeWitt.

While stealth GOP candidate Ann Ma-rie Buerkle pounds Maffei for the stuff he supports and supported, Maffei has gone to the funny booth to pull out the old Social Security scare routine that has become so droll. George Bush wants to take away Social Security! Boo!

The Informer thinks Maffei could have a lot more fun if he went after Buerkle, a former nurse, for one-time being part of the old American health system that didn’t force people to buy health coverage.

--Ready for the deluge? The Federal

Emergency Management Agency is in the process of re-mapping the flood plain for Onondaga County. If your property is located within this new flood map, you may be required to obtain flood insurance.

FEMA is the only agency that can officially proclaim if a property is located within the proposed new map. Property owners might want to dial up FEMA toll-free at 1-877-FEMA-MAP, or visit the FEMA Web site and scroll down to Onondaga County at rampp-team.com/ny.htm.

--When the Liverpool Village Board

of Trustees met Aug. 16, Mayor Gary White announced that he’s scheduling an informal meeting with Salina Town Assessor Brad Brennan to discuss the upward trend of assessed values of vil-lage properties. Brennan, who lives not in the town of Salina but in Clay, as-sesses the values of homes in the village. “Our assessments are appreciably higher than other comparable areas in the county,” White told the trustees. The public wasn’t invited to the taxing bull session.

Perspective

It wasn’t tough to find a seat Thursday night outside the Everson Museum, where the 1950s sci-fi classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” was being screened for free.

In fact, the crowd was so sparse we wondered whether some bodies had been snatched from the audience.

Just an hour and a half earlier over on Walton Street, a healthy crowd of consumers filled all three floors of the brand new Urban Outfitters store, which opened the same day.

And, last we checked, UO wasn’t giving their goods away for free. So where was the disconnect between the enthusiasm of a new spot to spend money and a free summertime event?

This has become a nagging question for Eagle staff this summer: Where is everybody?

It’s strange, but the biggest crowds we’ve seen all summer are in locations where spending money is not only encouraged, it’s mandatory: clothing stores, restaurants, bars.

But when it comes to taking advan-tage of the myriad free events Syracuse has to offer, residents suddenly lose interest.

Are we not keeping up our end of the bargain? Are we not doing enough to make you aware of the events?

Or is there something else going on?

Let us know at [email protected]. And check us out at facebook.com/theeaglecny daily; we try to let you know about at least one free event happening in Syracuse every day.

What’s better than free?

Having a Tea Party with Sarah, Carl and Anne Marie It wasn’t frightening enough when Dr.

Laura went on her N-word tirade and go on to gain the support of former Repub-lican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. It’s Palin who believes along with Dr. Laura that her freedom of speech has been violated by the response to her little “N-word fit.”

One could say where does this fit in locally?

Well as Sarah Palin

would say “let me tell ya.” Candidates send messages when they

are endorsed and/or accept the warm accolades from a political personality like Sarah Palin. It’s even more frightening when you add self-made “intolerant” New York State candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, Carl Paladino, who thinks the poor just need a bath.

What has happened to the New York State Republican Party?

When Republican congressional can-didate Anne Marie Buerkle is embraced by Ms. Palin and the Tea Party movement does that mean she embraces some of the more caustic remarks attributed to these rabid defenders of the intent of the

founding fathers? If my American history serves me

correctly these founders didn’t even look at me as a human being or citizen their original intent was not to empower people of color or women. These were men, not saints who’ve been beatified by the Pope.

I’ll be honest with you. I’m more concerned about this so-called Tea Party people than any hooded Ku Klux Klans-man.

Like reptilian aliens from the television series “V” they are the “T’s” are among us.

For those who once possessed fluid ideas their hearts have been turned to political stone by the shock of Barack Obama’s election, the Tea Party offers an outlet. It has been clear from Election Day that a sizable number of people are not going to accept an African–American President of the United States’, the Tea Party became their outlet.

Just a snippet from the mouths of Tea Party supporters would make your hair stand on end.

Paladino said in a published report he would convert some of New York State’s under populated prisons into housing for welfare recipients, where they would have state-sponsored jobs, get employment training and take lessons in “personal

hygiene.”“Instead of handing out the welfare

checks, we’ll teach people how to earn their check. We’ll teach them personal hygiene ... the personal things they don’t get when they come from dysfunctional homes,” Paladino said. Then he’ll train prison guards to become counselors, now isn’t that special! Perhaps they’d become well trained “counselors” by taking an online course?

If you listened to Carl Paladino, the solution to the so-called welfare problem is to put them in prison to wash them up because that’s why they don’t have jobs, because they stink! Yikes!

“You have to teach them basic things - taking care of themselves, physical fitness. In their dysfunctional environment, they never learned these things,” Paladino said in an Associated Press interview.

This is the part in the movie Trading Places where Mr. Paladino would trade in his suits and trappings of wealth and trade places with one of those so-called stank welfare recipients. Take away his Visa and American Express Cards and force him to live with the less-fortunate he’s chosen to demonize.

Then I can invite Mr. Paladino to tea. He’d better wash up first.

Your voice Good Sports Ways and Means Chair wants to hear from you on budget

The County Legislature next faces the enormous task of for-mulating and approving a bud-get for 2011. As chairman of the Ways & Means Committee, I am charged with the task of over-seeing and developing a budget that holds the line on spending, and if possible, reduces county property taxes.

In my capacity as chairman of the Ways and Means Com-mittee, it is my intention to make whatever spending cuts are necessary to deliver a budget with no property tax increase. This will be an extremely dif-ficult task, given our current financial situation, and will require a significant reduction in county government staffing and/or services. County govern-ment can not continue to pro-vide its current level of services without a significant increase in real property tax rates, or the in-fusion of significant funds from other levels of government. The time has come that we, as a community, must decide on whether county government should continue to provide the

same level and scope of services -- and pay much more in real property taxes -- or whether we should redefine the role of coun-ty government and significantly reduce the size and scope of that government and the services that it provides. County govern-ment cannot “be everything for everybody” without a significant cost to the taxpayers.

It is my belief that the role County government plays in our lives needs to decrease steadily so that definite savings can be realized and property taxes can be reduced. With that as our goal, the hard work is ahead for the department heads, the Executive’s office and the Legis-lature to close our budget deficit and cut taxes. My hope is that we can come to a bi-partisan agreement that ensures county government remains fiscally sound and continues to strive towards finding new ways to reduce spending.

I urge all residents to contact their county legislators to ex-press their views and opinions. This is your county; please tell us how you would like it to be run.

Jersey reversal: One Garden State pitcher hurls zeroes for Chiefs, another allows 3-run homer

By Russ Tarby

What should’ve been a great night for the Garden State turned into a nightmare for the Syracuse Chiefs.

The Chiefs’ New Jersey-bred right-hander, Eric Arnesen, pitched one of the best games

of his career Aug. 21 against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at Alliance Bank Stadium, strik-ing out nine while allowing just three hits and two walks over seven innings.

With the Chiefs leading 2-0, it looked as though the Princeton native was on his way to his sixth

International League victory this year.

After Chiefs middle-reliever Joe Bisenius dazzled the crowd of 6,794 with his 99 mph fastball, he allowed a single, tossed a wild pitch and walked a batter. So man-ager Trent Jewett called Manal-pan, N.J. hurler Jason Bergmann to the mound.

A well-seasoned pro who has pitched nearly 400 innings in the major leagues for the Washington Nationals, Bergmann seemed a good bet to save the game for his state-mate, Arnesen. In his most recent outings for the Chiefs, right-hander Bergmann had gone four consecutive innings without allowing an earned run.

After getting ahead of 20-year-old catcher Jesus Montero with a first-ball slider for a strike, Bergmann threw a fastball to the Yankees’ top prospect. The 6-foot-4 Venezuelan drove the pitch 390

AN HOUR A DAY KEEPS WEIGHT GAIN AT BAY

Syracuse • Baldwinsville • Canastota • Fultonwww.ptpluscny.com

New research forces women to face a sobering reality about age-related weight gain. According to research based on more than 34,000 non-dieting, middle-aged women over a 13-year period, at least an hour of moderate daily activity is needed to keep non-dieting women at a healthy weight. For women who are already overweight, even more exercise is necessary to avoid gaining weight without eating less. This recent finding backs up a 2002 Institute of Medicine report that urged Americans to balance diet and exercise daily. Adults with physical limitations are strongly urged to work with a physical therapist to get their bodies moving.

If an hour of exercise a day sounds overwhelming, you don’t have to do it all at once. You can do it in 10-minute increments.

Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean that physical activity of fewer than 420 minuted a week is worthless. Working out at a moderate intensity for 150 minutes a week, as the government recommends, is associated with a lower risk of many chronic diseases, no matter what your weight is. If you or a family member needs physical therapy, please call our clinic at 315-476-3176 to schedule an appointment. We are proud to offer highly trained and experienced professionals to serve you. Our office is located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse.

P.S. The fact that people gain weight as they age may have less to do with a slowing metabolism than the natural tendency to become more sedentary.

City RBI summer league ends season

The championship of the RBI Summer League for 13-15 year-olds was held Aug. 18 at Van Duyn Field with the Mets defeating the Nationals, 8-0, for the title. Ryan Dwyer tossed a three-hit shutout for the Mets.

RBI stands for Reviving Baseball in the Inner City, a Major League Baseball-spon-sored program run in association with the Syracuse Boys and Girls Club. Six teams with Major League Baseball monikers comprised the league. The league is coordinated by RBI director Jimmy Oliver.

League officials provided a championship atmosphere, with pre-game player introduc-tions and a poignant ceremonial first pitch by Lisa Witkins, the mother of former RBI League member Andrew, who passed away this August. The city’s Commissioner of Parks and Recreation and Youth Programs, Pat Driscoll, was also in attendance.

Donning a red Nationals t-shirt, Lisa Witkins stood on the mound and threw out

the first pitch in memory of her son. Andrew Witkins played for the Nationals for two years before dying from an infection after a long-term illness.

Anthony Mathews got the start for the Nationals, who fell behind 5-0 after three in-nings. Dwyer threw seven scoreless innings and was backed by hitting of Matt Thompson and Erik Viola. Thompson and Viola cracked two doubles apiece for the champion Mets.

The Mets were coached by former Fay-etteville-Manlius and Hamilton College player Max Currier and Ray Benz. Team members are: Dwyer, Viola, Matt and Colin Thompson, Nate Boughton, Hector Santa, Alfonzo Whitehurst, Mario Cabrao, Ray Benz, Damian Ozelek, Pat James and Max-well Martin.

Although the playoff final was held at Van Duyn, all other games were held at Sunnycrest Field at Henninger High School, Burnet Park and Fowler High School this summer.

Season awards were handed out at the RBI League championship Aug. 18 at Van Duyn Field. From left: coach of the year Duane Hammond, Parks Commissioner Pat Driscoll, most outstanding player Alfonzo Whitehurst, RBI director Jimmy Oliver and most outstanding player Yamil Orsorio.

What is NY GEARUP?NY GEARUP is based out of Syracuse University’s School of Education. NY GEARUP works in the Syracuse City School District with the class of 2011 at Corcoran, Fowler, Henninger, ITC and Nottingham high schools.

GEARUP stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs. It’s a national initiative to create innovative programs with the goal of increasing college awareness for students and their families. GEARUP also helps students develop the skills necessary to pursue education after high school.

To achieve its mission, NY GEARUP organizes college visits, tutoring and mentoring, college awareness and exploration activites, and educational planning and workshops.

ON THE COVER:PHoTo BY CARoLYN CLARk

NY GEARUP’s Princess Glotto from Fowler High School strikes a pose while modeling in the August 13 end-of-Sum-mer College fashion show at the SU Warehouse, located downtown.

This will be our last weekly NY GEARUP tabloid before we switch to a monthly insert. Every month over the next year, you can look forward to features that reflect our efforts to improve graduation rates and help students make a successful transi-tion to college.

Class schedules are beginning to arrive in the mail. We encourage all students to take advantage of tutor-ing that will be provided to students beginning in October. The tutoring is being designed specifically to help students meet graduation require-ments.

As we enter the school year, I hope to increase parent participa-tion in NY GEARUP activities. This can be a stressful time for parents and their students as they make decisions about which colleges to attend. Financial aid is a major source of anxiety for many parents. It is not easy to navigate FAFSA

forms and other financial aid forms on your own. NY GEARUP will be providing workshops for parents to help you through this process. Par-ents should feel welcome to contact our office with specific questions, and we will make sure you are con-nected to the right information.

During the next few weeks please be sure to check our website for our schedule of college visits. Parents and students can become a fan of NY GEARUP and receive regular up-dates about our activities, or follow us on Twitter as a convenient way to stay informed.

This is the final year of Syra-cuse University’s six-year GEA-RUP grant. This spring, we will be reapplying for a new grant that will include the cohort’s first year of college. I am excited about this new opportunity to support students in the Syracuse City School District.

If you have ideas or are inter-

ested in being a part of our work with students, please give me a call or reach me through email. There is much work to be done and a part for everyone to play in supporting our cohort.

Auburn, New York, might sound average. But the town, only an hour from Syracuse, was once home to Wil-liam Seward and Harriet Tubman, two revolutionary thinkers at the turn of the twentieth century.

William Seward was the 12th gover-nor of New York, United States Sena-tor, and the United States Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson. He was a big propo-nent of women’s rights (think women’s sufferage) and an abolitionist. And he illegally sold his friend Harriet Tub-man (a black woman who had once been a slave) a piece of land only two miles from his home.

Tubman was a slave-born African American, abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the American Civil War. She born in Maryland into slavery, but she escaped and became a powerful force in the Underground Railroad movement, helping free doz-ens of slaves. After the Civil War, she retired to her family home, purchased from Seward, where she cared for ag-ing African Americans.

On August 17, the NY GEARUP writing program visited Auburn, spe-cifically to see the homes of these two historical figures.

Upon arrival at Seward’s residence, I was amazed at how everything at the home was still in its original state. The Sewards were notorious packrats, and the museum had everything from furniture and cutlery to receipts and partly consumed cigars! They were prime candidates for today’s show, “Hoarders” on A&E, but they did a good job preserving the Sewards’ be-longings, and it was nice to see that their original house was turned into a museum. The Sewards had an incred-ible book collection, lining the walls of most of the rooms on the first floor of their home. They were known for be-ing avid readers and owned more than 5,000 volumes – all saved in the house through the years.

But Seward’s life did have some ac-tion. Few people remember, but when President Lincoln was assassinated,

there was a conspiracy to assassinate three government top dogs: President Lincoln, Vice President Jackson, and Secretary of State Seward. Seward’s would-be assassin had a mishap with his gun, though, and had to attack Seward and his companions with a knife but failed to kill any of the five wounded. Though the attack happened in Washington, D.C., the family had brought the sheets that Seward was sleeping on during the attack back to Auburn. They’re on display, and our group was actually able to see the bloodstained sheets.

Because of Seward’s prominence in politics, he was accustomed to meeting diplomats, politicians, and high-rollers from around the world. And he had photographs and paintings of many as souvenirs of these meetings. As he collected these portraits, he hung them up around the upstairs of his house. To our luck, Seward kept a log of who ev-eryone was, and even numbered each photo/painting.

Seward was also an abolitionist. Well, he believed so much in the move-ment that he risked his political liveli-hood for it. In his basement, there was an old kitchen, where he would hide escaped slaves. His house was actually a stop on the Underground Railroad, something that was considered a fed-eral offense.

But Seward was willing to partake in illegal actions in support of the anti-slavery movement. He even became friends with one of the movement’s most famous players, Harriet Tubman, and sold her land for her house. Tub-man’s home was down the road from Seward’s. Smaller in size, Tubman’s home was more modest, but she had a lot of land space. It seemed like there was more than one residency on the land, probably because she took care of a number of aging African-Americans, including her own family. We didn’t stay too long, but I can say that being at Tubman’s home was fascinating.

Lastly, we went to the gravesites of both Tubman and Seward at Fort Hill Cemetery. Tubman was buried between two small bushes in front of a huge tree. Members of her family were bur-ied around her. Her gravestone seems to be a popular site in the cemetery, as it

was adorned with flowers from recent visitors, and people had placed rocks and coins on top of the headstone (a Jewish tradition showing respect and appreciation for the buried). Seward and his family were buried near Tub-man. His tomb area was somewhat of a monument, with small statues in front of his and his wife’s grave marker. His

children other family members were also buried around him.

Although most of Auburn is a rela-tively modern-looking town, this trip threw me back in time. It taught me a lot more about Seward and Tubman, how they had been good friends and how they had played major parts in our history.

NY GEARUP, AUGUst 25, 2010 /5

By Isabelle Crossman

Henninger High School

On August 11, the NY GEARUP writing program held their very first story slam at the Hall of Languages at Syracuse University. Participants in the writing program, as well as invited guests, told stories that deal with risk. It was fun and there were about 20 people there to listen and share their stories.

First up was Seth Colton of NY GEARUP’s writing program. He fo-cused on taking risks and responsibil-ity for himself. He told a story about his need to go food shopping and his reliance on his godmother, and how it conflicted with obligations he had made; namely, him being at the Story Slam. As a high school student, Seth takes the risk of wanting to do differ-ent things while relying on people.

After Seth, it was time for a recent Syracuse University graduate named

Carly. She told a story about when she and her sister sneaked into their older sister’s old apartment because this sister asked her to. So she took the risk to help her sister and risk what she thought would (and did) happen: the cops would catch her and her younger sister. But they got away with it, and the two spent the rest of the night eating away their adrenaline rushes in a diner.

Dwayne Britt, from the writing program, went next. His story was about how he and his brother look the same but live very different lives. In his story he explained that a guy got confused him for his brother, who had gotten mixed up in drugs and violence. Dwayne was shot at but didn’t know why. “I heard him yelling my brother’s name,” Dwayne said, explaining his sudden realization that the danger he was in was actually meant for someone else.

Tessah Acevedo, also from the writ-

ing program, related to the audience with her account of starting at a new school. By entering a city school after years in a suburban school district, Tessah was nervous about being thrown into the mix at Henninger High School. She risked not making friends and creating enemies by fail-ing to follow social hierarchy.

I was nervous to present—public speaking isn’t really my thing. At first, I had no idea what to talk about. But when it was my turn, I told my story about potentially being the first person in my family to go to college. I don’t know what to expect and if and how I will be able to cope with being away from home. But by taking the risk to leave home, I’ll be taking a step towards a bright future, something worth risking.

The writing program students weren’t the only storytellers. Mariel Fiedler, one of the writing program coordinators, told her story about tak-

ing a risk to try out for her fifth grade school play. She wanted a lead role in “The Boyfriend,” the play her class was performing, and she spent hours upon hours rehearsing her audition song, “Tomorrow” from “Annie.” She even gave the Story Slam audience a sample of her singing abilities, some-thing she normally reserves for the shower. What stood out about Mariel’s story, though, was that despite her risk, she didn’t get a lead singing role that she wanted. Instead she played an uppity, nagging woman.

Others talked about learning how to swim, making a first college friend, and getting to know estranged fam-ily. All these stories gave a sense of joy—as you could see the personal success in each person for taking these risks. The group in attendance agreed that NY GEARUP Story Slams should become a regular thing, and I look forward to these because it’s something fun to do.

STORY SLAMThe writing program

Artists of the Downtown Arts & Crafts FairBy Dwayne Britt


The Arts and Crafts Fair takes place in Downtown Syracuse every year. I went this year with the NY GEARUP writing program, and it was an amazing time to go and see many different things that I had never seen before.

When I first started walking around, I saw a nice plate made from glass by Rich Seeger. He is a glassmaker who got involved with the fair about 20 years ago through his wife, because she too was a glass blower in Carney. He loved it. He said he comes to the fair to make money, but when he and his wife are not going to art fairs, they sell their work through their business,

Seeger and Fein Glass. Seeger and his wife aren’t necessarily local, but they do live outside of Utica. It took them an hour and a half to get to the fair. I enjoyed meeting Seeger and continued walking around the fair.

I next met a young lady named Ann Bliss Pilcher, who makes pottery. She is responsible for Butternut Pottery. From what I’ve seen, she does a great job. It’s too bad I didn’t bring that much cash or I would have bought one of her pieces.

Now, I don’t buy many things, and I wanted this. That’s how good her pottery was.

Pilcher got involved with the Arts and Crafts Fair through her husband ten years ago. She said it was the best thing she’s done because she can be her own boss

and make some money. Pilcher’s shop is located in Jamesville, so she doesn’t have to travel that far, but if you want to look at her things right away, you can check out her website by searching Google for Butternut Pottery.

The Arts and Crafts Fair is an amazing place to gain new contacts, especially for young artists in train-ing, so they can see how to do things correctly and learn new things. I have to say I had a good time even though I’m not an artist, and not just because there was a lot going on but because the people were so nice. Some of them where shy, but it just shows that people really do care about kids and their futures because they didn’t have to let me interview them. But, they did.

These artists show so much pas-

sion and showed their dedication to their craft, like Letitia Lee, an artist from Virginia. It took her nine and a half hours to get to Syracuse.

Lee has been making art for seven years professionally but says she’s been doing it un-profession-ally since her mom was feeding her applesauce.

“I don’t know how to do anything else. Art is all I know. It’s in my DNA,” she said

If you want to get in contact with Lee and take a look at her work, you can visit her web site at leemeeart.com Lee believes art is like poetry and everybody should enjoy it. I’d have to agree with her. After going to this fair and meeting people who are doing exactly what they want with their lives, it inspired me to try to do the same.

On August 13, the Summer College kids at Syra-cuse University showed off the fruits of their six-week labor. For fashion design students that meant a fashion show for friends and family.

The one o’clock show took place in the lobby of SU’s Warehouse building downtown. The color-ful designs and images on the walls provided the perfect setting to complement the funky designs being shown off.

Approximately 30 designs were shown on Friday, and they ranged from designs one could easily find on the streets of New York City – like skinny jeans and a white T-shirt dressed up with a textured vine of red roses—to the more outrageous that one would find only on a runway or as part of Lady Ga-ga’s (the designers’ inspiration) notably theatrical performances. NY GEARUP student from Fowler High School and one of the models, Princess Glotto, strutted down the runway in a metallic-blue, black,

and silver ensemble and wore a blue hairpiece that swooped in front of her face.

After the models all walked, the students lined up as the designers, including Princess, were pre-sented with certificates of program completion.

Once the models left to change, the guests were invited to the fourth floor of the Warehouse. There, they were greeted by more design work, this time that of Summer College students in the ad design program: d-branding. This included Nottingham High School student Darrius Ford, from NY GEA-RUP, who took part in three two-week programs this summer. The third, ad design, helped Darrius and the other students develop their creative skills through problem solving and personal branding. They designed posters and created personalized logos, and each student left the program with a stack of their own personal business cards.

Back on SU’s campus, other students showed off what they had learned this summer.

In the Whitman School of Management, stu-dents in the media literacy program teamed up to

present critical analyses of popular culture. Topics ranged from black prevalence in television to what your T-shirt says about you.

Yahumara Aquirre, a NY GEARUP student in the program from Nottingham High School, pre-sented with her group on the societal effects of how sex is presented on television. The group focused on the marketing and audiences of The CW’s “Gos-sip Girl” and ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” They showed advertising photos and videos of the shows that all backed up their research into teenage attitudes on sex.

In Slocum Hall, students from the architecture program, including NY GEARUP student Rebecca Remington from Henninger High School, displayed their miniature 3-D floor-plan models for parents and guests to see.

And in the Schine Student Center, participants in the engineering, forensic science and public com-munications programs mingled with their families while taking a look at poster-board displays of the students’ work during the six-week programs.

Armory Square’s Outfitters shares music and moneyMaking an early impression as a good

neighbor, Urban Outfitters opened for busi-ness last Thursday, Aug. 19, in downtown’s Ar-mory Square. On Friday evening, the upscale, three-story threads shop presented live music by White Picket Fence, an up-and-coming local rock quintet fronted by Elise Miklich. The fetching young vocalist sings tunes such as “My Love and Limbs” from the band’s 2009 CD, Clocks and Calendars.

And UO goes the extra mile beyond sharing hip grooves to share some c o l d h ard cash. For the first three days UO was open here, the shop

donated 10 percent of all sales to the Redhouse, around the corner at 201 S. West St.

Urban Outfitters is located at 221 Walton St., in the historic McArthur, Cooney and Wirth Building previously the home of Hen-dricks Photo and a clothes store called The Edge.

Originally known as The Free People’s Store when it opened its first outlet in 1970 in Philadelphia, UO focused then on funky fashion and household products. Before long the owner, Richard Hayne, changed its name to Urban Outfitters. Its product lines have evolved over the years from vintage, bohe-mian, retro, hipster, humorous and kitschy apparel and furniture to include luxury brands and designer collaborations.

Syracuse eateries on national TVIn early-June, Man v. Food host Adam

Richman and his video crew visited three CNY gastronomical landmarks. On June 8, Richman pulled some pork at downtown’s Dinosaur Bar-B-Que before swinging north to Liverpool the next day to eat dogs at Heid’s and salt potatoes at the Salt Museum. On June 10, Man v. Food wrapped up its Upstate stay with a stop at Mother’s Cupboard Fish Fry at 3709 James St.

Customers there are dared to consume five pounds of pancakes.

Cupboard staffers have been sworn to secrecy, but I’ll bet Richman had no problem pounding down those hotcakes.

Find out for yourself how the Brooklyn-bred Richman batted against the batter when the Syracuse episode of Man v. Food debuts at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3, on Time Warner

Cable Channel 41. It’ll be repeated at 12:30 and 11:30 a.m., according to travelchannel.com.

This coming weekend, Richman will ap-pear in a live show at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, at Chevrolet Court during the New York State Fair. He will cook, judge a food challenge and provide what he hopes are some “dynamic entertainment interludes.”

From Cult to HermitsFor fans of progressive rock, the State Fair’s

Chevy Court is the place to be on Friday, Aug. 27, as Blue Oyster Cult performs at 2 p.m. fol-lowed by Kansas at 8 p.m.

Big D promises a big timeBig D guarantees a big time from 8 to 11

p.m. every Thursday night as he hosts a new all-acoustic open mike at Daniella’s Steak House, 670 State Fair Blvd., in Lakeland; 471-9874.

And Daniella’s, Charlie Roman’s classy bis-tro located at the Best Western-Fairgrounds, should be hoppin’ and boppin’ during the State Fair. All musicians are welcome to participate in the new weekly open mike.

Dave “Big D” Schneider plays acoustic, electric and slide guitar and has shared the stage with local favorites such as fiddle great Hal Casey. Schneider has also fronted his own blues-based band Big D & the Tasty Café.

For information, visit BigDny.com

State Fair Four swing it!The State Fair Four welcome visitors to the

New York State at the quartet’s post just inside the main gate. The Dixie-fried foursome per-

forms daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through the fair’s run Aug. 26 through Labor Day, Sept. 6.

The band jams joyously on tunes such as “Wolverine Blues,” “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “China Boy.” The Four features banjoman Dick Sheridan, cornetist Woody Peters, trombonist Bobby Morris and tuba player Burt Dunlap.

Fair admission costs $10. Children 12 and younger are admitted free every day of the fair. Seniors age 60 and older are admitted free on Monday, Aug. 30, and Tuesday, Aug. 31. Students 16 and younger are admitted free on Friday, Sept. 3; 487-7711.

Rutledge corrals young lionsVeteran vocalist Marcia Rutledge reunites

on Aug. 27 with four of the young lions of Syra-cuse jazz for two sets of music at the Westcott Community Center, corner of Euclid Avenue and Westcott Street.

Marcia, who sings a hip mix of swing and standards, bossa nova and original composi-tions, will be accompanied by bassist Joe Arcuri, guitarist Tom Bronzetti, keyboardist Andrew Carroll and drummer Greg Evans.

Evans is returning soon a cruise ship gig and will soon resume teaching at Ithaca Col-lege.

Evans, Carroll and Bronzetti were featured on Marcia’s 2005 recording, No One Home.

“The WCC is a com-fortable place to enjoy acoustic music of all genres,” Rutledge said. She promises “a no-holds-barred evening of eclectic jazz” from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27. Admis-sion costs $5. For info, dial 478-8634.

Chasin’ Gus’ GhostLast month, WAER-

FM deejay Larry Hoyt celebrated his 13th an-niversary hosting the folk radio show, Common Threads, on Sunday af-ternoons. All summer, Common Threads has been celebrating one of America’s least-celebrated musical genres, jug band music.

“In mid-June, Hoyt explained, “I received the

Jug Band Extravaganza CD from the good folks at Folk Era Records, and ever since I’ve been listening to the disc, which is filled with excellent, good-time, entertaining music that will appeal to any audience that enjoys acoustic Americana music.”

The 18-track disc was recorded at an Aug. 26, 2007 concert staged at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in conjunction with the debut of the documentary film, Chasin’ Gus’ Ghost. Among the jug band lu-minaries performing on the disc are Jim Kwe-skin, Geoff Muldaur, John Sebastian, David Grisman, Maria Muldaur and the Barbecue Orchestra.

“I love this disc and I highly recommend it,” Hoyt said. “On Fathers’ Day on WAER I aired two songs from this disc:’My Old Man’ and ‘Papa’s on the Housetop.’”

Other tracks include “Eight More Miles to Louisville,” “San Francisco Bay Blues,” “Sofie’s Back in Town,” “Stealin,’ Stealin,’” “Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me,” “The Sheik of Araby,” “Sweet Sue,” and, of course, Gus Cannon’s own “Jug Band Music.”

The liner notes are by producer Todd Kwait who’s also the producer of the film Chasin’ Gus’ Ghost, now available on DVD at redis-covermusic.com.

Gus Cannon (1883-1979) was the ban-jo-playing leader of the Cannon’s Jug Stompers in Memphis, Tenn., from approximately 1928 to 1938. He also simultane-ously blew bass notes on a jug attached to a brace like a harmonica holder. Although their last re-cordings were made in 1930 for the Victor and Bluebird labels, Cannon’s Jug Stompers was one of Beale Street’s most popu-lar jug bands throughout the 1930s. Cannon en-joyed a brief revival in the 1960s after the Rooftop Singers covered his song, “Walk Right In,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early-1963.

Common Threads airs from noon to 3 p.m. every Sunday on WAER-FM 88.3.

feet over the left-field wall for a three-run heartbreaker. It was Montero’s 16th home run and Bergmann’s second blown save of the season.

Despite a determined two-out rally in the bottom of the ninth by Chiefs batters Seth Bynum, Wilson Ramos and Chase Lambin, the Chiefs dropped the game by a final of 4-3.

Arnesen is now 5-7 for the Chiefs, with a 3.71 ERA, in his first season in Triple A. Last Saturday, Arnesen consistently

nipped the corners of the plate while clev-erly mixing his pitches and keeping the ball down. He pitched a similar gem July 20 to earn a victory at Norfolk, allowing the Tides only one hit in six innings while whiffing three.

Bergmann has also been effective this year posting a 6-4 record with an enviable 2.84 ERA while appearing in 43 games. He has allowed six home runs in 50+ innings, and interestingly, five of those six hom-ers were hit by right-handed batters like Montero. Usually, lefties are the ones who tee off on right-handed hurlers. Arnesen,

for instance, has allowed eight home runs over 87 innings and every single one was hit by a left-handed batter.

Another New Jersey-born hurler, veteran lefty reliever Ron Villone, was unconditionally released by the Chiefs on Aug. 12.

Make it Snappy ‘The Girl Who Played with Fire’

Don’t wait for the DVD

“I used to live in that city!” exclaimed one of my companions as Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) arrives in Göteborg on Sweden’s southwest coast, having driven the 250 miles or so from one side of the country – the capital city of Stockholm in the east – to the other through the night, in search of Lis-beth Salander (Noomi Rapace), who’s made the same journey a few hours ahead of him. “And I made that same drive every week I was there,” she added.

Most US audiences watching “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” the second of the Swed-

ish screen versions of the late Steig L a r s s o n’s “Millenni-um Trilogy” novels, won’t

have that advantage, or even know that the filmmakers actually shot the Göteborg scenes on location (even IMDB gets that wrong). But Swedish audiences will know that, especially those who actually live in and around Göte-borg, where the film had a special screening at that city’s international film festival in January.

I mention this because there’s been some grumbling about this film. This installment retains key cast members – the remarkable Ra-pace as fugitive computer-hacker Salander and Nyqvist as “Millennium” magazine publisher Blomkvist; also Lena Endre as Erika Berger, Blomkvist’s editor-with-benefits, and Peter Andersson as Salander’s slimy legal guardian, Nils Bjurman – and also wisely kept on Jacob Groth to provide the understated but hugely effective, disturbing score. (A word about US-tailored promotion: the image on the movie poster appears nowhere in this film and the trailer’s generic thriller music may come from some movie but not this one.) But this film has switched directors (from the virtuoso Niels Arden Oplev to the more workman-like Daniel Alfredson) and cinematographers (from Jens Fischer and Erik Kress to Peter Mokrosinski, whose look is considerably more workmanlike and sometimes out of focus for no discernibly good reason). And you might spend some time objecting to both. But – proof of the pudding – this film is over two hours long, and I didn’t wonder once how soon we’d get there, especially during the rising dread of the second half.

In “Played with Fire,” crusading publisher Blomkvist hasn’t seen Salander for a year. (The first film ended with hints – a glimpse of her exiting an expensive car, dressed with unchar-acteristic elegance, at some clearly exclusive tropical resort – though this new film neglects her sojourn there, which occupies a significant section of the novel, cutting to the chase of her Stockholm return.) Instead a breaking story about a sex-trafficking ring occupies Blom-kvist, until the young couple who’ve researched that turn up executed and the police blame Salander. Sure that she’ll contact him, he sets about solving the murders and her connection, as his “Millennium” editorial staff set about finishing and publishing the story. Along the way – the reason for that cross-country dash – Salander finds her long-lost father (Georgi Staykov), determined to finish with an axe what she started as a child with a match and a gas can.

What carries this film is the intriguing, increasingly layered and unconventional re-lationship between Blomkvist and Salander (those in turn carried by wonderful lead performances – I particularly recommend Rapace’s extended scene of reunion with her father). In a story about how we know the truth about anyone else, it’s worth thinking about how they have come to utterly trust one an-other. They don’t physically share a single scene until the end, but the film extends their virtual

relationship with convincing immediacy; in one scene Salander turns off a door alarm with three seconds to go – watching Blomkvist remotely on a security camera – from the other side of Sweden. And amidst much deeply sordid behavior, Blomkvist isn’t the only good man here; there’s the young free-lancer Dag, Salander’s old advocate Holger Palmgren (Per Oscarsson, from the 1966 classic “Hunger”), and a promising cop named Bublanski. I’m more than ready to see where #3 goes.

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” packed Manlius Cinema in April. Nat Tobin is pretty sure he’ll keep “Played with Fire” around a couple weeks anyway, and reminded Friday night’s crowd that the finale – “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” – has a mid-October US release. He’s also arranged for a one-time screening at 6:30 p.m. next Tuesday, the 31st, of the documentary “Millennium,” about the book-to-movie project with Larsson’s novels. That screens at Manlius Library (in the Village Center plaza, past Little Cesar’s Pizza).

“The Girl Who Played with Fire” is screening locally at Manlius Art Cinema. “Make it Snappy” is a regular film column and Nancy is a member of the national Women Film Critics Circle.

Public forum to explore elements of a truly creative cityMost cities that aspire to greatness strive

to provide art and culture to their residents and visitors, promoting their symphonies, playhouses, museums and other assets.

But do those assets make a city creative? Do they, on their own, create a sense of cultural vibrancy and vitality?

Not according to the Urban Institute’s Maria Rosario Jackson, who will kick off a public discussion that explores these issues starting at 5 p.m. on Friday Sept. 10, at the SU Warehouse, 350 W. Fayette St.

For Jackson, a truly great city must cul-tivate, inspire and allow for the creativity of all its citizens.

“Most cities have places to consume art,” Jackson said. “Fewer have public spaces or programming that embrace and encourage the inherent creativity in us all.”

Jackson, who is being brought to Syra-cuse by Imagining America with support from the New York Council for the Human-ities, will talk about her research for about half an hour. Attendees will then break into

small groups and take part in a CNYSpeaks’ facilitated conversation on how Jackson’s insights relate to Syracuse and Central New York. The full group will then reconvene, allowing the discussion that will take place at the small tables to be shared with Jackson and the other participants.

“The CNYSpeaks format of having small groups, each with a trained facilitator, differs greatly from public forums people may have attended in the past,” said Tina Nabatchi, an associate professor at Syracuse

University’s Maxwell School and co-direc-tor of CNYSpeaks. “The format allows for all attendees to participate, fosters genuine dialog and helps participants with diverse points of view find common ground and consensus. To have this process informed, and then commented on, by someone like Maria Rosario Jackson is very exciting.”

The discussion is free and open to all. Advanced registration is appreciated. Sign up by contacting Greg Munno at [email protected] or 730-4621.
