For about a year, the sidewalks bordering the 100 and 200 blocks of Montgomery Street have worn pale, frozen faces. Sure, the concrete footpath has been covered in snow, pedestrian feet and fall’s confetti leaves. But for 12 months, the stretch of sidewalk has held anything but art.

Noah Kellman speaks softly and laughs often, cracking quick jokes as he talks about his love for the band The Bird and The Bee and taking 27 credits in one semester at SUNY Purchase, which he currently attends.
More than 20 arts and cultural organizations will collaborate to present ArtsWeek, a two-weekend program of visual and performing arts events that began July 23 and concludes Sunday, July 31. With 22 organizations involved, ArtsWeek is the largest celebration of the arts in the region.

Whether it’s the work of Dr. Seuss or Shakespeare, a dance passed down through generations, or a George Lucas movie, there’s something about a great story that pulls you in while the “real world” melts away. In a word, it’s magical. Syracuse Stories: An All Arts Festival is bringing this magic to ArtsWeek.
What do the stars have in store for you this week?
Mark Chisholm knows his wine. Sure, sure, as the 15-year upstate New York manager for wine distributor Palm Bay International, being familiar with the product is probably a requisite of his job. But for Chisholm, wine isn’t just a career— it’s a passion. At the 2010 Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival, Chisholm and some of his fellow wine-expert employees will pour around their knowledge of and passion for wine at four different wine-tasting sessions under a pavilion in Clinton Square from July 29 to 31. If all goes as planned, Chisholm expects about 3,000 stop by Palm Bay International’s tent and introduce their palates to the four types of wine—two red, two white—available to sample.
Orange Line Gallery ArtsWeek combines the AmeriCU 40th Annual Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival, the popular Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival and the Blue Rain ECOfest with more than 20 interactive arts activities that are sure to bring out the creativity in everyone who visits. An arts walk links the two festivals from Columbus Circle to Clinton Square.
Autumnnever approaches quietly. When summer cools into fall, just look for nature’s gradual wardrobe change. Leaves begin to blush in shades of persimmon, amber and gold. With a nudge from the autumn wind, the colorful confetti leaves part with their branches, carpeting the ground, leaving tree limbs bare.

There’s the still-new distillery, opened in 2009, with its expansive views of the orchards. There’s the familiar U-pick orchard, which opened in 1975 on what was home to the farm’s earliest trees. There’s the farm store, which bustles with activity every autumn as families come to the LaFayette orchard to pick their apples.

Love in Bloom Real or silk, flowers set the scene at your wedding and reception By Lorraine Smorol Next to the bridal gown, flowers are the most important wedding accouterment. Whether maintaining the tradition of a white bridal bouquet or choosing flowers that blend with your color theme, you may already know what you want, or you are looking for suggestions. In any case, a florist may assist you in making your wishes a reality. While fresh flowers may be the most treasured element in a wedding, there are times when they are really not a sensible option. Brides, grooms or perhaps a member of the wedding party may have an allergy to certain flowers. Another problem that might arise with fresh flowers is if the wedding ceremony is scheduled to take place at a far distance from home. Even with the use of the Internet, a bride may not be...

Money Talks It’s dollars first, expertise second, if you want to serve on an arts organization’s board of directors By Molly English-Bowers MICHAEL DAVIS PHOTO Not rough and tumble: David Rubin, dean of Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, appreciates that everyone can contribute to the well-being of the city’s culture, while Everson Museum of Art director Sandra Trop (below) is thankful that trustees here tend to be polite and accommodating.

Earning a college degree is the best route to a fulfilling career with great earning potential. But many people are not able to complete a degree right after high school, and find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of life.

If you graduated from high school last spring, the question uppermost in your mind is probably, “What do I do now?” If you think going to college is the right decision for you, there’s good news: You still have time to enroll for fall classes.
For individuals seeking to enhance their professional qualifications or acquire valuable new skills, evening certificates are available in human resource management, information technology, holistic aging and post-baccalaureate RN to MS in nursing.
Bryant & Stratton In today’s job market, you need any competitive advantage you can get. And one of the best ways to stand out is to earn your college degree. While many older adults may think college is just for the young, it’s important to know that today people of all ages are going to college. “It’s an idea called lifelong learning,” says Heather Macknik, director of admissions for Bryant & Stratton College’s Liverpool campus. “Today, millions of adults nationwide, many with children of their own, are going to college—or going back to college—to either train for a new career, or earn the degree they need to advance in the career they already have.”
Le Moyne and Loretto team up to offer eldercare in a 30-credit degree Youth is deeply coveted in the United States. Obsessed with looking younger, longer, Americans slather their faces with anti-wrinkle creams, pay for facelifts and attend gyms like the devout visit chapels in attempts to hold onto their glorified 20s. However, for America’s approximately 76 million baby boomers experiencing or approaching senior status, a desire to stay young is being replaced with a need to seek age-appropriate care.
The explosion in green technologies has many adults returning to the classroom In an economy increasingly devoid of the glamorous green of the dollar bill, many people are seeking a new kind of green: employment. Amid the Al Gore-inspired focus on global warming and the eye-popping gas prices that are sure signs of the apocalypse, the environmentally friendly trend toward green jobs has taken off in the past few years.
When I decided to go back to college, my choice was based on the field of study I wanted to pursue. I didn't settle for a college based solely on cost, but gave more thought to what I really wanted from this investment. Which college would give me the most for my money? Which college offered flexible classes that would fit into my busy schedule? Which college would provide access to the latest technologies and a wealth of professional opportunities? The answer: Syracuse University.
If there’s one thing you learn in life it’s that learning doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom. While most of us think of a high school classroom or college lecture hall when we envision learning, today’s fast-paced society requires more ways for us to gain the knowledge we seek to be successful in our careers and lives.

The hills at Four Seasons Golf and Ski Center, 8012 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville, are still green despite the first, fleeting snowfall. But John Goodfellow, owner of the business for 40-plus years, is preparing for the transition into the winter season.

Skiers are the pollyannas of winter, reveling in the latest snow totals, breaking out the bulky sweaters (guilty, Mike Brookins!) and waxing the equipment for quicker glides down the runs.

The Onondaga Ski Club provides its members with year-round recreational opportunities By Alex KishIt takes a certain kind a person to live in Central New York. Aside from often excessive summer humidity and the perpetual state of gray that seems to color the sky from mid-October to April, winters don’t ever seem to stop. And if you’re not into winter sports, the long, cold months can seem to drag on forever. Luckily, the Onondaga Ski Club understands Syracusans’ winter woes. Although its name implies a dedication to winter sports, the OSC offers much more than just a good time on the slopes. For more than 55 years, the club has provided year-round adult social and outdoor activities that range from skiing and biking to nights on the town.

On-campus career services exist to help you find your career path From the age of 5 until 22, a person works hard toward getting a college diploma and their “dream” job. Senior year in college comes and suddenly reality hits: Next year is the “real” world and, whoops! I don’t have a job! Job searches aren’t always easy, says Christine Richardson, director of the Career Services Office at Cazenovia College. “It is a slower process than, let’s say, 10 years ago,” she says. “A few generations ago you could hire someone on the spot, but it was hard to get rid of them. Now it is a slow hire, quick fire.” According to Richardson, everything is economy-based. The economic downturn of the last few years has not helped the situation, but the difference is more that companies want to hire the right people. “It is expensive to hire and not having the right person can be...
Fright Night It is a scary prospect, indeed, this whole college thing. One day it seems you are safe at home, taking the bus to high school, and the next you wake up in a strange room with a strange person living with you. Then you have to figure out where the bookstore is, how to make the washing machine work, what that newfangled book-filing system in the library is all about and get to class. It’s enough to force you to pull an all-nighter! But you needn’t make like Night of the Living Dead. In fact, look at this next step in your life as a chance to prove you are an adult, not revert to eighth grade and have your folks do everything for you. Resist the temptation to let it overwhelm you, turning you into the zombies on our cover (and left). Before you know it, you’ll have everything figured out, even learning your way around campus and, perhaps, venturing forth into the cities that surround you. While getting an education...
The Festival of Races seeks the fittest student body by Josh Blair Lace up your running shoes, students, and head outdoors because come Sunday, Oct. 5, you've got something to prove. Hundreds of people from all across the world will line up for the 16th annual Syracuse Festival of Races 5K, and the race's organizers have their eyes on you. They hope to name a collegiate champion for Central New York to see which local college has the largest number of participants and will wear the crown of the fittest student body, an honor currently held by Syracuse University. In addition to bragging rights, the race also gives student organizations a chance to raise money. The Festival of Races allows any non-profit group to generate pledges and keep 100 percent of the donations. "It's a great opportunity for student clubs, no matter how big or how small, to raise money for group activities," says race...
By SEUNA (South East University Neighborhood Association) Can't we all just get along? Every year, as students return to the university neighborhood, change and adjustment are required of everyone involved. Here are some tips to help make your stay in our neighborhood more fun, productive and satisfying. Downtown Syracuse, as seen from the Syracuse University Hill. MICHAEL DAVIS PHOTO First, be a good neighbor. Remember that not everyone around you is a student, nor do they necessarily share your schedule, tastes or preferences. If you (1) keep your home and yard clean and (2) keep noise to a minimum, you should have no trouble maintaining a pleasant relationship with your neighbors. Be safe. The demands of school and the freedom of your new independence may distract you from hazards to both yourself and your property. You are not in a dormitory anymore; there are no...
