The Comeback Kids: 40 Below re-energized and ready (again)By Ami Olson

editor@theeaglecny.com

Six years ago, young professional organi-zation 40 Below held its first annual summit, sparking a discussion among more than 600 community members about what needed to be changed in Syracuse, and how to do it.

By the time last year’s summit rolled around -- the fifth annual congregation the group had organized -- not only were people continuing the dialogue, there was well-publicized tan-gible evidence that 40 Below had been com-mitting sweat equity to Syracuse.

In 2006, the 40 Below Marketing and Communications committee sparked an in-your-face guerilla marketing campaign and launched the “Live it. Love it. It’s all here.” branding effort. 40 Belowers created Lipe Art Park from an abandoned train yard and began cleaning out the city-owned Wilson Building in the hopes of sparking a movement.

But this year, for the first time since 2004, 40 Below did not hold a summit. The group’s website offers outdated and incorrect contact information for many leaders. By the end of August, the art park was overgrown and riddled with litter, and three years into the Wilson Building project the building is still uninhabitable.

Yet the same issues identified at that first summit remain, “brain drain” and an overall lack of pride in Syracuse among them.

So, whatever happened to 40 Below?

‘Healthier than ever’The group was founded in 2004, but under-

went major reorganization in 2007. By then, 40 Below’s presence was being felt throughout the city. An inaugural group of up-and-comers had been selected for the It’s All Here Street Team, charged with promoting 40 Below and Syracuse throughout the community. The branding campaign of the same name was underway, and each of the four task forces, which cover public arts, civic engagement, marketing and communications and adaptive re-use, had spearheaded a list of projects; the adaptive re-use task force inspired another non-profit spin-off, AdaptCNY.

But by this summer, 40 Below was running somewhat under the ra-dar. It’s sole staffer left the group for graduate school, and there was no annual summit.

On the surface, it seemed 40 Below had given up.

“Unfortunately, we get that a lot,” said Dominic Robinson, a member and former chair of the steering committee. “One of our challenges is that we are almost entirely a volunteer organization. We don’t do a very good job all the time of translating that into an official marketing package. So there’s still a lot of activity, but it’s not always reflected.”

But a new partnership with Centerstate CEO will be putting new staffers on the 40 Below roster, and Robinson said a totally revamped website will go live within three to five months, signalling (another) renewal for 40 Below.

“It’s an ebb and flow; it’s a constant process of rebirth,” Robinson said. “I feel it’s in a healthy a place as its ever been.”

Re-energized and ready In a way, 40 Below is all over the map. Be-

tween members of the steering committee and the chairs of its four task forces, the organiza-tion has roots in many projects and companies in Syracuse and CNY.

Like any other non-profits, 40 Below is powered by profession-als with ties to countless other companies, busi-nesses and corporations. While those connections foster partnership op-portunities, most of those projects don’t bear the 40 Below name, at least not on the surface, which makes it easy to miss the group’s involvement.

To date, 40 Below has partnered with, spon-sored or otherwise supported a litany of orga-nizations, including NY Creative Core, Adapt CNY, ArtsWeek, the Urban Video Project, and the upcoming PARK(ing) Day.

But the group has its share of self-start events and projects, too.

The Civic Engagement Task Force, co-chaired by Kelly Bayne and Josh Shear, is currently nailing down details for its sixth bi-annual Involvement Fair, tentatively planned for the 2010-11 winter season.

Along with the fairs, which aim to make it easy for inter-ested would-be volunteers to find the “right” organization to work with, Bayne said the civic engagement task force has re-cently begun informal monthly networking meet-ups.

“There is definitely a need and desire for young professionals in Syracuse to just have a chance to talk and network,” Bayne said. The social networking events are held at 5:30 p.m. the third Monday of the month at different locations throughout the city.

The Public Arts Task Force, by nature, has had the most visible impact on the community, beginning with the once-barren train yard on West Fayette Street now known as Lipe Art Park. The park’s newest installation, Brendan Rose’s “Art Shark,” was unveiled this summer.

For the adaptive re-use task force and Adapt CNY, 2010 finally saw the pay-off of years of volunteer efforts to clean up the Wilson Build-ing on South Salina Street, when the Wilson, Chamberlin, Witherhill and Bond buildings were selected for renovation by VIP Develop-

ment as the Pike Block project.The PATF also sponsored a pop-up art gal-

lery and the 5 and Dime art sale and the third annual MP3 experiment during ArtsWeek in July, as well as the Concrete Jungle Jam in August.

Briana Kohlbrenner, who co-chairs the PATF with Vanessa Rose, said a design-a-bike-rack competition is in the works for next summer.

As the overall group has redefined itself through the years, the task forces have nar-rowed their focus we well.

“Since spring of this year we reorganized our mission and became a collective group of people who would present public art ideas to each other, vote on what we as a group are interested in investing our

time in and then collaborate to produce these ideas,” said Kohlbrenner.

And as a result, Sio said he believes the group, and the community it reflects, is stron-ger than ever.

As if to prove it, the 40 Below summit will return in 2011, with a vengence. Still in the planning stages, the March event will be a statewide joint summit between 40 Below, the Southern Tier’s Pipeline for Progress, and We Live NY, formerly the Young Leaders Congress.

“All across the region young adults are doing innovative and entrepreneurial things,” said Benjamin Sio, 40 Below staff director. “These are the true indicators of 40 Below’s impact throughout the community.”

The “It’s All Here” branding campaign grew out of 40 Below’s Marketing and Commu-nications Task Force.

Congressman Dan Maffei, center, speaks with par-ticipants at last year’s 40 Below “Cinco de Summit,” the fifth annual conven-tion sponsored by the non-profit group. Former steering committee chair Dominic Robinson is pic-tured second from right. The 2009 summit was the last one held, but the group plans to renew the summits with a state-wide event in 2011.

Annual Sept. 11 ceremony at Fayette Firefighters Park

The City of Syracuse will hold its annual Sept. 11, 2001 Commemoration Ceremony beginning at 8:30 a.m. Saturday Sept. 11 at Fayette Firefighters Park.

As has been the tradition with this ceremony, there will be no speeches or an-nouncements. The public is invited to attend this outdoor event.

Each has a flagstone top on which two specially designed 3-wick candles with sconces will be placed during the cer-emony. Each wick when lit will commemorate the lives and the families of loved ones lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Flight 93 that crashed southeast of Pittsburgh.

Also displayed at the commemoration site will be two flags titled ‘Flag of Heroes’ and ‘Flag of Honor.’ ‘The Flag of Heroes’ contains the names of all of the emergency service providers who gave their lives. ‘The Flag of Honor’ includes the names of all civilian vic-tims of Sept. 11.

Annual ‘Bad News Bars’ game set for Sunday

The fourth annual Coleman’s Authentic Irish Pub vs. Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub “Bad News Bars” softball game will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday Sept. 12 on the lower field at Burnet Park. Each year, the game benefits a local charity and for the third consecutive year, proceeds from the game will help support Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central New York. In 2009, the event raised more than $2,000 for the organization.

The annual event will feature food, raffles, music, prizes and much more.

Cara Blake, of Syracuse, will sing the national anthem and Chow Downey, of Syracuse, will announce the game. A local celebrity will throw out the first pitch, but the person will remain a surprise until the day of the game.

One spectator will also have the opportu-nity to watch the softball game from “the best

seat in the house.” The winner of “the best seat in the house” raffle will sit in a full living room set in right field and be served by a personal waitress throughout the game.

For the first time, the game will also feature a shepherd’s pie eating contest as well as the annual mascot race during the seventh-in-ning stretch.

Coleman’s and Kitty Hoynes are currently selling $2 raffle tickets to enter to win a $500 cash prize. The drawing will take place during the game.

Perspective

This week’s cover story about 40 Below grew out of my own attempt to reacquaint myself with the organization.

A visit to the website, 40belowsummit.com, made me question if the group was totally defunct: I was met with out-of-date e-mail addresses, 100-day old Twitter updates and an empty events calendar.

I ignored my con-cern that the effort had been deserted, or perhaps followed

the thousands of recent college gradu-ates who leave Syracuse for opportunities elsewhere, and tracked down Dominic Robinson, former steering committee chair.

Robinson described the genesis of 40 Below as less of a long-term plan and more of a flash of inspiration.

“Initially, 40 Below was this moment in time when all of these young people living in Syracuse were tired of hearing about people leaving,” he said. “They kind of pulled something together and all of a sudden you had the largest gathering of young professionals in New York State.”

That “something” was the first-ever 40 Below summit, and while the group wasn’t entirely prepared to sustain its mission of “connecting, engaging and em-

powering young adults,” long-term, there was clearly a need for such a movement.

While that somewhat spontaneous beginning led to some stops and starts, the group isn’t giving up.

40 Below is alive and well -- Robinson believes it’s healthier now than ever. But that doesn’t mean the group is immune to the same disease that has affected so many other organizations with dreams of revitalizing Syracuse: the burn-out.

Robinson pointed out that groups like 40 Below need the input of a lot of individuals to be functional, let alone successful.

The group’s dependence on volunteers means the workload of what could be just a handful of full-time staff members is in-stead divided and shared by many people willing to devote their personal time to the effort. And that often results in ultra-motivated new members bringing in lots of energy, “going wild for a while,” then taking a back seat and passing the torch to the new blood.

But Robinson said the turnover that 40 Below has seen in the last year has been a good thing.

“In the process we’ve really engaged a whole new network of young leaders who now are picking up the ball and running with it,” he said.

And more than a willingness to volun-teer time and energy to the cause, those individuals are making a commitment

to the city, the community and them-selves that they believe in the potential of Syracuse.

That’s a lot to ask of any professional, young or otherwise, in any city.

But in speaking with various task force leaders and Robinson himself, it was clear that these people are committed. Kelly Bayne, who co-chairs the civic engage-ment task force, is a native Syracusan who spent her undergraduate years in Sche-nectady. After graduation, Bayne said she moved back home “temporarily.”

“But I got back here and was just like, Syracuse is my home,” she remembers. “The past three years have been me put-ting down roots here in Syracuse.”

Sure, Syracuse has a long way to go, Bayne admits, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate what we already have, and let that propel us into creating more opportunity.

“When I hear people say, ‘there’s noth-ing to do,’ I get so annoyed -- and just sad -- because it’s not true,” she said.

But if you subscribe to the notion that there is a lack of activity, here’s something new to do: Bayne’s task force recently began holding informal social networking events the third Monday of each month.

This month, find them at 5:30 p.m. Monday Sept. 20 at Funk N’Waffles. All are welcome, just show up to get involved.

Get to school, safelyWhile we all hurry to get where we

need to be on a daily basis, when school is in session it’s time to slow down for safety’s sake.

With another school year just get-ting under way, it may mean timing your commute to and from work, day-care and errands around local school bus schedules. Most days, motorists will likely need to leave for their destina-tion earlier than they would like so they don’t get stuck behind a bus and end up running late.

That doesn’t mean drive like you are the only one on the road, though, as many children will be anxiously await-ing their yellow chariots near roadways or hopping down from the steps of a school bus eager to tell their parents all about their day.

But motorists are not the only ones who need to pay attention to their sur-roundings when school is in session.

Children do, too, and should be re-minded of some bus stop etiquette and safety before boarding. For instance, children should always wait for the school bus to come to a complete stop before entering or exiting.

If kids have to cross the street to get to the door-side of the bus, remind them to wait until the driver acknowl-edges them and motions for them to cross.

Standing up in a moving vehicle is also ill advised — so, stay seated in order to avoid falling down.

These are just some of the things parents can talk about with their chil-dren when it comes to bus safety, and we most certainly hope you will talk about it with your little ones this year.

Getting to school is essentially a cru-cial part of each day for children, and we want to see them all arrive and leave in the safest way possible.

Downtown After DarkSU songstress leaves the hill for downtown debut

A bright and bold new talent has emerged from a dusty dormitory room at Syracuse University.

Her name is Sarah Elizabeth Aument.She wears her auburn locks in a pixie cut,

but Aument’s a Goliath with a guitar in her hands. Barely 20, the girl sings as though she

has weathered a lifetime of storms yet soldiers on gamely with a knowing glint in her eye.

Her emotive voice recalls Kim Carnes on a good day, Lily Allen on a late night or a rough hewn version of Edie Brickell.

To celebrate the release of her new CD, Vertical Lines, the Pennsylvania-born singer-songwriter will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, at the Red House Arts Center, 201 S. West St., at the corner of West Fayette Street, on the outskirts of downtown’s Ar-mory Square. Admission costs $5. For info, dial 425-0405.

‘Freak folk’Hailing from Kennett Square, Penn., Au-

ment started playing original music when she was 16. In the past four years or so, she has acquired a taste for indie folk rock that crosses into pop. She calls it “freak folk.”

In December 2008, Aument teamed up with SU students Sam Mason and Dan Creahan to start O, Morning Records. In a small dorm room up on the hill, she recorded an EP entitled Wake Up Singing, released in March 2009. Since then she has partnered with band members Kevin Muldoon and Brian Ludwig to record Vertical Lines.

Judging from her recorded tracks, Au-ment has struck gold with these guys. The musicianship is crisp and clever, the songs are vivid and diverse, and the arrangements are catchy as hell.

“Broken Bottles” sparkles as a sharp-edged sonic experience. Each note is me-ticulously produced with chimes, whistles and synthesizers complementing the usual rock instrumentation. Aument runs a gamut of vocal dynamics from a hoarse whispered intro to exuberantly shouting the chorus over a screaming electric guitar – then it all ends as suddenly as a bottle smashed against cement.

‘Couch Slouch’“Couch Slouch,” punctuated with yodeled

falsetto syllables, builds to an over-powering crescendo and an awful aural crash land-ing.

The title track, “Vertical Lines,” begins with Aument strumming an acoustic guitar complete with fret squeak before finally rock-ing out over a snare-driven mid-tempo.

On YouTube, you can watch Aument playing her six-string as she strolls down the streets of Annapolis, Maryland, with percus-sionist Harrison Willis. She’s singing an ab-breviated ditty called “Big Old World.”

Aument resembles a cross between a kewpie doll and Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold. That is to say her physical beauty mirrors her offbeat artistic aspirations. She’s not your typical girl next door. Aument is anything but typical.

A tiny silver ring adorns her left nostril. She wears rainbow-colored bracelets and a big silver ring on her chording hand. On one of her videos, she looks comfortable performing in a salmon T-shirt with comple-mentary pale purple bandanna around her neck.

Her devil-may-care sense of style also surfaces in her music. While Aument lists influences such as Feist, Wilco, Radiohead, Bjork, Cat Power, Laura Veirs, Coldplay, Tegan and Sara, Carole King and Broken Social Scene, take it from me:

Sarah Aument is already a one-of-a-kind original!

Northbound Jugband rocks Al’sAnother SU-oriented act, the North-

bound Traveling Minstrel Jugband, was booked to play Sept. 8, at Al’s (no longer Aw-ful) Whiskey & Wine Bar on South Clinton Street. The rockin’ jugband is also slated to

play Oct. 9 at the Westcott Comminuty cen-ter, on the city’s East Side.

The Northbound Traveling Minstrel Jugband blends blues, rock, bluegrass, folk and even a dash of funk. The quartet features Aaron Gittleman (vocals/guitar/banjo/har-monica), Adam Cohen (guitar/mandolin), Lucas Sacks (bass/guitar) and Dan Di-Pasquale (drums).

“We distill the sweet melodies and gritty roots of folk music into a heady brew of roughshod rock that’s equally at home on a spotlight-flooded stage or small coffee-house,” Gittleman said.

Northbound began performing in public at SU in the late fall 2008. After a busy sum-mer of shows and recording, Northbound has returned to school this fall and partnered up with O, Morning Records to release its first full-length disc.

Tenor Madness and tapas Tenor Madness – plectrum guitarists

Hanna Richardson, Phil Flanigan and bass-ist Jared Mulcahy – perform from 6 to 10 p.m. every Friday in September, at L’Adour Restaurant Francais, 110 Montgomery St., downtown.

“Come for dinner or tapas or drinks – or all three,” Hanna advises. “Tell them you’re there to hear the music.”

Be sure to catch Hanna’s devilish double entendres when she sings “Porter’s Love Song to a Chambermaid” by the ever-entertaining Fats Waller.

For reservations, call 475-7653, or simply find a spot at the bar; ladour-com.wildtex.net.

Welsh wizard on organ Sept. 12South Wales native Byron Jones returns

to Central New York at 7:30 p.m. Sunday,

Sept. 12, to perform a concert hosted by the Empire State Theatre and Musical Instru-ment Museum (the CNY Theater Pipe Organ Society). Jones will play the world-famous Syracuse Wurlitzer, at the New Times The-ater in the Art & Home Center, at the State Fairgrounds in Geddes. Admission costs $15 for adults, $2 for children.

‘Little Hot Mama’Syracuse University marketing staffer

Paula Meseroll has co-written an inspiration-al new online book called Little Hot Mama: The Flossie Turner Lewis Story.

It focuses on Flossie, a black entertainer who performed on the carnival and chitlin circuits, in speakeasies and minstrel shows and in the swank nightclubs of Miami’s Overtown. Flossie was also a single mother who raised five children, but from the Deep South to Puerto Rico, Miami and Los An-geles, Flossie lived her life as a performer, a mother, and a woman who could neither read nor write. That was until she decided at the age of 65 to learn how.

Flossie will join Meseroll here in Syracuse the week of Sept. 13 for International Literacy Week. While in the Salt City, she plans to record her signature tune – written for her when she was a child on the min-strel show circuit – “Happy as the Day Is Long,” for SU’s Belfer Archive.

Syracuse Cinephiles Sitting PrettyThe Syracuse Cinephile Society revs up its

projector for its 2010 Fall Film Series starting with 1935’s Gilded Lily starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray, at 7:30 p.m. Monday Sept. 13, at the Spaghetti Ware-house, 689 N. Clinton St., near Syracuse’s Inner Harbor.

Admission to each Cinephile screening costs $3, or $2.50 for Cinephile members. For info, call Spaghetti Warehouse at 475-1807.

The film series continues Sept. 20 with The Lone Wolf Takes a Chance (1941), and Sept. 27 with Sitting Pretty (1933) starring Jack Oakie and Jack Haley as a songwriting team. Co-stars are Ginger Rogers, Thelma Todd and the Pickens Sisters.

CANCERBEWARE

“I had cancer. Cancer never had me.”

Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, dis-traught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. �en I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

The Informer It occurs to The Informer that

someone needs to show Andrew Cuomo where the problems are in this state. It’s not the New York State Fair. The Democrat attorney general was in town this week looking for po-litical support in his bid to be governor after establishing the Fair as the target of a corrup-tion probe into age-old hiring practices.

If he wants to do some resume polishing, he’d do better to start probing the mischief and misfeasance in Albany. That’s where the big problems exist. Picking the Fair as a politi-cal target says nothing about how he would govern or behave.

--Democrat New York State Comptrol-

ler Thomas P. DiNapoli is being accused of being party to the underfunding of the New York State Pension Fund that, if left unchecked, will require massive tax in-creases. That’s the allegation by Republican comptroller candidate Harry J. Wilson. Wilson released a 50-plus-page white paper entitled: “New York Pensions: Averting The Looming Tax Catastrophe.” He urges in the paper “an honest accounting of New York’s pension problems in order to expose the true extent of our deficits, and a long-term col-laboration with all stakeholders to return the Fund to fully funded status over time without requiring tax increases.”

--Alfonse D’Amato, Sean Hannity and

Rush Limbaugh are NOT running for at-torney general in the state of New York. Nevertheless, Tarrytown Democratic Assem-blyman Richard Brodsky – who IS running for attorney general – plastered photos of D’Amato, Hannity and Limbaugh across the

front of a recent campaign mailing, with the caption, “They Hate Richard Brodsky.”

A vocal opponent of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, Brodsky prefers to run against right-wing

idealogues rather than run against his Democratic Primary opponents, Sean Cof-fey, Eric Dinallo, Kathleen Rice and Eric Schneiderman.

The funny thing is that D’Amato, Hannity and Limbaugh are each far better known than any of the Dem AG hopefuls, Brodsky included.

--How did Laura Mae Hawkins-Turner

ever find time to raise her daughter and three sons?

The lady – who passed Aug. 21 at Loretto at age 84 – was the 9th Ward’s Democratic Committee Chairwoman for more than two decades and an active member of PEACE, Inc., the Urban League, the NAACP and the Syracuse Black Leadership Conference.

Hawkins-Turner’s organizational exper-tise was recognized by both Democrats and Republicans.

Dem Mayor Lee Alexander appointed her to the Human Rights Commission. GOP County Executive John Mulroy appointed her to the county’s Citizen Advisory Commit-tee. Dem Mayor Tom Young hired her as the city’s minority business enterprise specialist.

When it came to her community, Laura Mae could never say “no.” She also served on the boards of directors for the Dunbar Com-munity Center and Syracuse Health Center and was a member of the North Syracuse Lioness Club.

In briefTop national runner coaches programs at the Y

Kevin Collins became serious about training runners after he realized his expert advice paid off.

Through questions alone, he helped one woman knock six minutes off her personal record in a marathon. Her continual contact with Collins eventually led him to train

her two days a week, just shy of a year. She knocked an hour and seven minutes off her marathon time in 10 months. Her 10k fell eight minutes; her 5k fell four.

“And I said, ‘I’m sold’,” Collins said. He began working with more clients and

opened his own business, 1st Marathon.In June, the YMCA of Greater Syracuse

gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He was hired as its running director, a position cre-ated specifically for him. Collins works out of all three centers, including the East Area Y, the North Y and the Downtown Y.

“Running is expanding nationwide,” he said. “People are finding in all the exercise they’re doing, it comes down to running as being the best weight loss and weight man-agement tool.”

The Y offers a 10-week beginner program, designed to introduce participants to basic training concepts for optimal fitness and development; and a 10-week intermediate/advanced running program, which provides one weekday workout that includes vari-able hill repetitions, short/long interval and tempo-style workouts.

Both programs meet at 7 a.m. on Satur-days for a long run, which combines all run-ners from each Y to attend. The group meets either at Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool or at Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville.

Collins also coaches the main marathon program, which stretches 20 weeks during the summer. He offers a winter program, too, but admits it’s intense and outdoors, typically for people who are on board as runners for life.

Make it Snappy Don’t wait for the DVD: ‘Winter’s Bone’

“Oh, lord!” mutters the girl under her breath. She climbs out of the pick-up with a heavy sigh, using the same inflection as in-numerable, usually much older women before her who have followed their men, their fathers, their sons – this one is her uncle – into some dive to haul them out. Once inside, 17-year-old Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence) is already prac-

ticed at the right balance between deference – she locates him across the crowded, smoking room and stays far enough away that she’s not interrupting – and no-nonsense demand – one jerk of her head toward the door. Pausing a single beat to show he’s deciding, not obeying, Teardrop (John Hawkes) follows her outside.

One of our best character actors, John

Hawkes is easily matched in every scene they share by Ken-tucky native Jennifer Lawrence, about whom you’ll be hearing a lot and, if there’s any justice, part of that will include an Oscar nomination. Ree and Teardrop were supposed to be looking for her father, Jessup Dolly, who’s vanished, missing his court date. He doesn’t get much farther than she does. We never see Jessup, except in an old photo album snap with Ree’s mother, taken when they were kids themselves and Ree’s mother is almost unrec-ognizable as the vacant-eyed woman Ree now gently tends.

Jessup is a meth cooker, “known for,” as Ree tells a neighbor who tries to convince her Jes-sup burned up in a meth lab explosion, “know-ing what he’s doing and not making any bad batches.” His disappearance has put his place – a rickety log cabin accessorized with a great deal of plastic and what must have been an expensive trampoline in the yard for the kids – along with his 100-year-old timberlands, at risk of bail forfeiture. At this point in the story, Ree is pretty sure he’s dead, but she has to prove that in order to stave off the bail bondsman. Eventually she retrieves the proof from a fetid pond, with the help of and a chainsaw and two crones worthy of MacBeth.

Women grow old fast in the raggedy backwoods of southwestern Missouri, the region we know as the Ozarks. Ree has a little sister named Ashley Dawn, 6, and a 12-year-old brother named Sonny – like many of the cast, drawn from the local people during the on-loca-tion shooting – to whom she’s teaching skills equally. So they both learn how to shoot a gun, hunt squirrels and skin and gut them – perhaps pre-dictably, Sonny is quite a bit more squeamish than Ashley Dawn – and make a stew. But Ree’s friend Gail (Lauren Sweetser), who’s already got a baby and doesn’t ask her husband why when he won’t let her take the truck, tells Ree, “It’s different when you’re married.” Writer-director Debra Granik, who adopted this film from Daniel Woodrell’s novel of the same title, avoids add-ing melodrama about how it is that Gail shows up with Baby Ned and the truck one day at Ree’s cabin, having left the husband and his

head-banger music, but it’s easy to imagine there was some. But Ree’s one attempt to get away is demolished by a patient, practi-cal Army recruiter.

Lest we start thinking about the people in Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone” in terms overly mythic or picturesque, I should say that this film is as good a study as you’re likely to find of how come most kids into drugs right here in Syracuse aren’t about to snitch, and how come whole communities remain implacably against the law’s perceived intrusion. When Teardrop tells Thump, a dis-tantly-related patriarch – played by another non-actor who goes by the nickname “Stray Dog” and evidently got to wear his own biker vest for the part – that Jessup “went against our ways,” he’s not talking about Jessup’s illegal ac-tivities. And when Teardrop, in one of the final scenes, suddenly says he knows who killed his little brother, about the only people you don’t suspect – outside Jessup’s own household – are the musicians at a houseparty Ree visits, who provide the film’s marvelous Ozark music.

Marideth Sisco, whose own busy summer festival schedule probably rivaled the filmmak-ers’, is the singer there with her band, the Davis Creek Rounders. Sisco also sings many of the songs here – “High on a Mountain,” “Farther Along,” “Fair and Tender Maidens,” “Missouri Waltz,” and “Teardrop’s Ballad: Bred and But-tered.” Twice Ree reminds the sheriff that she’s a Dolly, “bred and buttered,” a depth of loyalty that could go either way.

“Winter’s Bone” opens at Manlius Art Cin-ema on Friday Sept. 10. Both the DVD and the soundtrack come out Oct. 26.

ITC volleyball debuts with loss to BaldwinsvilleBy Fran Piraino

Baldwinsville gave the Institute of Tech-nology at Central a rude introduction to the world of CNYCL girls volleyball with a 25-8, 25-8, 25-10 victory in the season-opener for both teams Sept. 2.

The game, played at Levy Middle School, marked ITC’s debut at the varsity level. Be-cause of school renovations, ITC students will attend school and play games at Levy this year.

The Bees, who have won or shared 16 straight league titles, were in charge from the start against ITC. Baldwinsville made a few early-season mistakes but proved to be the superior team on serve and at the net.

Coach Mary Jo Cerqua has a solid core of highly-skill players at her disposal despite graduating four starters. Sophomore Sarah Klaben served up a team-high seven aces and made four kills. Sophomore hitter Al-legra Bell, a returning starter, had four aces and four kills. Erica Miller added five aces.

B’ville’s offense is in the capable hands of all-star setter Brianna Stewart. The senior distributed the ball for 14 assists against ITC. Last fall, the Bees went to the state Class AA finals but lost to Canandaigua, 3-1.

The Eagles are playing volleyball in the fall for the first time after two seasons in the winter at the JV level. It is the only girls sport offered at the school in the fall.

What ITC lacked in execution it made up for in hustle and athleticism against the Bees. The Eagles came up with some tough digs on powerful Baldwinsville spikes only

to eventually lose the point.ITC sophomore Al’Lysha Williams was

well aware of Baldwinsville’s reputation as a volleyball power. Williams admitted it was nerve-wracking to play the Bees in their first-ever varsity game.

“I haven’t seen anyone like them,” Wil-liams said. “Their spikes are powerful. So were their serves.”

ITC coach Jennifer Crawford was initially nervous about having to face the three-time defending sectional champ in ITC’s varsity debut. But Crawford came away encouraged by her team’s effort.

“I thought we were going to lose 25-0 to them,” Crawford said. “I’m so excited because they were having fun out there. I’m excited because they stayed positive. I have an amazing group of girls.”

Members of the ITC varsity team are senior Najah Amica, junior Tanesha Arroyo, senior Trishanna Bennett, senior Julianne Knittel, junior Lidia Mendoza, senior Ni’asia Mitchell, junior Kayla Precourt, senior Car-leigh Raeford and Williams.

Also on Thursday, Corcoran’s girls volley-ball team swept Nottingham in three games 25-5, 25-9, 25-9.

ITC girls volleyball varsity coach Jennifer Crawford and JV coach Eric Bramoff, above, talk to ITC players between games in their first-ever varsity match against Baldwinsville last Thursday afternoon.

From the sports departmentDue to the Labor Day holiday and logistical issues surrounding our pending move into our new offices, our coverage of

ITC football debuts, stuns Black Knights 22-19Sporting a spiffy new Institute of Tech-

nology at Central football jersey last Thurs-day, Jebron Thomas couldn’t help but be filled with hope and excitement.

The ITC football program was 24 hours away from kicking off their season at Tully, and the senior quarterback was anxious to have his season start.

“We are very excited to finally be playing,” Thomas said. “But we can’t be too excited. We have to calm ourselves down and be ready to play and do what we need to do to win.”

Thomas, proudly wearing his white away jersey as he attended the first-ever ITC girls volleyball game on Thursday, spoke with confidence about his team’s chances against Tully. The promise of a new season has that effect on a player. But for ITC, its season-

opener against Tully meant so much more.For the first time ever, the Eagles would

play in a varsity game. After two seasons at the JV level, Thomas would play a game that matters.

“We have been practicing hard,” Thomas said. “We’re well-prepared. We want to prove we are a successful team.”

Against Tully, ITC showed it can compete at the varsity level and in the process made school history by earning a 22-19 victory over the Black Knights in thrilling fashion. With less than 40 seconds to play, ITC re-pelled a last-gasp effort by Tully and hung on for its program’s first win.

Tully took its final possession after a fumbled punt at the ITC 25-yard line with 35.9 seconds left. But on the next four downs, the Eagles denied the Black Knights

access to the end zone. With no time left on the clock, Thomas

knocked away a Marcus Warner pass in the end zone to secure the win. Thomas also scored on a two-yard run in the second quarter to help the Eagles.

The Eagles survived a shaky start against the Black Knights. The Eagles fell into a 13-0 hole after Warner scored on a 3-yard quarterback keeper followed by a 65-yard Warner TD pass to Casey Jean in the first quarter.

ITC running back Kasheim Jones scored ITC’s first-ever touchdown to make it 13-8. On the first play of ITC’s third possession, Jones took the handoff, cut back and zipped up the right sidelines for a 80-yard touch-down run.

Warner picked apart the ITC secondary

with two long TD passes in the first half. But Warner injured his right wrist before half-time. He sat out Tully’s first two possessions of the second half before returning to direct the Black Knights.

ITC took the lead for good at the start of the third quarter. Lineman Chris Myers scooped up a Tully fumble and returned it 19 yards for the go-ahead score. It was the only score of the second half.

All the other city high school football teams debuted, too, with split results. In Saturday’s Kickoff Classic at the Carrier Dome, Corcoran, thought to be the favorite in the Class AA-2 division, beat Fowler 46-6, while Nottingham returned to the AA ranks with a 27-18 win over Central Square. Henninger opened on Friday night, losing to Fayetteville-Manlius 31-21.

CDS group to reopen former Syracuse Pottery mining site

After about 15 years of the site being closed, three business partners are seek-ing to reopen a plot of land on Pottery Road in Camillus that once provided quality clay for Syracuse Pottery

Rich Canestrare, Nick DeSantis and Paul Skrupa, who make up CDS group, started

the land purchasing process when Syracuse Pottery went out of business. Since then they have had the clay tested. And they were amazed at what they found: testers have told them that they haven’t seen clay of such quality in 25 years.

“In retrospective it was used for clay pots, so it must have been very high quality at the time,” Skrupa said.

Skrupa said testing done by PW Labo-ratories found the clay to have potential uses in health care and cosmetics, as well

as construction. CDS group will work with the Clay Mineral Society, a university-based international organization, to further evaluate potential uses for the clay.

CDS Group has two specific sites in mind, which can be faintly seen from Matrix Turf Solutions. One is 1,500 feet from the road and the other, 650. DeSantis said the mining could potentially involve 339,000 cubic yards of clay and 25,000 cu-bic yards of topsoil. CDS Group would be permitted to mine 20 feet down.

The town of Camillus will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 in the Camillus Municipal building to consider amending town code that would allow CDS Group to reopen the mining site.

Skaneateles

Allyn (WA) broadcast worldwide a demon-stration of its new Electronic Vitals Docu-mentation Device at St. Joseph’s Hospital on the North Side.

The device converges all aspects of docu-menting vital signs into one system, includ-

ing patient data capture and wireless transfer to an Electronic Medical Record. Medical charting and documentation errors are reduced, which improves clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.

The Welch Allyn Connex® Electronic Vi-tals Documentation (EVD) System provides

clinicians in non-critical care settings with immediate access to accurate vital signs any-time, anywhere. St. Joe’s is one of WA’s three beta (test) sites in upstate New York.

WA’s Stephen Meyers said when they previewed the device at other institutions they heard, “You must of have had nursing input.We’re so lucky to have St. Joe’s near our headquarters.”

St. Joe’s will be able to purchase 68 WA EVD with the state money. The devices are expected to be installed over the next three months. WA also plans to integrate the de-vice into doctor’s offices.

Eric Mower video up for national PR award

A video created by Eric Mower and Associates for client Legrand/Pass & Seymour has been named a finalist for a PR News Digital PR Award.

The EMA/P&S video, “The Jobsite,” is one of eight finalists up for the award. Industry trade publication PR News will announce winners on Oct. 6.

To raise awareness about the new P&S’ new PlugTail Switch and demonstrate

its technology in an engaging way, EMA and P&S launched an integrated market-ing campaign, with the video serving as the main component. The campaign’s success helped P&S PlugTail sales ex-pand to new markets and the company budgeted a 30 percent sales increase in 2009.

Inspired by the hit television series “The Office,” “The Jobsite” provided more than just a visual step-by-step walkthrough of the switch installation, features, benefits and cost advantages. EMA and P&S told a story through video, with characters and construction-site humor making it funny, memorable and

true-to-life. “Even a year after it launched, the

video continues to attract news cover-age and comments from industry profes-sionals,” said EMA’s John O’Hara. “The video was unlike anything seen before in the electrical marketing industry.”

Watch “The Jobsite” online by search-ing “pass and seymour” at youtube.com, or find the direct link to the video at Facebook.com/theeaglecny.
