What’s to come in 2016 – A look at upcoming projects in the Near Westside
By Maarten Jacobs
It is quickly shaping up to be another big
year for the Near Westside. With lots of
great ongoing programming, new projects,
tons of community events, and new partners,
2016 will bring more exciting progress to the
neighborhood. Below are just a few things to
keep an eye out for this year:
NuVal coming to Nojaim
Bros. Grocery Store
Have you noticed some new signs at Nojaim
Bros. Grocery Store that say “NuVal” on
them? Wondering what they are? NuVal is
an innovative new way to help you figure out
what are the healthiest food items available
in the store, within each food category. NuVal
scores every item in the store from 1 to 100
(100 being the healthiest) and encourages you
to “trade up” by eating foods that are similar
to those you eat now, but have a higher score
(thus being healthier for you). Keep visiting
Nojaim’s to learn more about NuVal, to be
part of in-store food demonstrations, and to
find healthy foods in each isle. NuVal will
be rolled out in the entire store throughout
the year with frequent events, giveaways,
and free information on how to eat healthy
without impacting your budget.
Weekly Community Events
For the last six months, many of the local
service agencies have been getting together
to plan a community calendar of events,
aimed at hosting 50 events in 50 weeks.
These events will range in location and
topic, but will all be hosted in the Near
Westside and will be open to the public with
the goal of creating fun, positive, and safe
opportunities for our neighborhood. All of
the events will be part of a larger “Take Back
the Streets” initiative (look for more info on
this next month) that will be well publicized
throughout the community.
New Salt Quarters Artist
in Residence
Two news artists moved into the Near
Westside at the Salt Quarters Artist in
Residence space in January. Patty Ortiz,
coming from Texas, is an amazingly
talented artist and curator. Her work
this year will focus on the concept of
“work” and will be hiring people from the
community throughout the year to assist
her with different art installations. Justin
Mastrangelo is our local artist in residence,
coming to Salt Quarters from Oswego, New
York. Justin is a skilled artist with a
passion for silkscreening. Justin will spend
much of his residency hosting silkscreening
workshops and “drink and draw” events
aimed at inviting people into Salt Quarters
to meet one-another and to create artwork.
Community Theater Space in
Case Supply Building
At the end of 2015, the NWSI was generously
funded by Senator John DeFrancisco to
construct a community theater inside
the Case Supply Building located on the
corner of Marcellus and Wyoming Streets.
Look for construction to start on a 125+
person theater as well as two rehearsal
studio spaces that will be accessible to
the entire community for performances
and events. The space will finally give
local arts organizations an affordable place
to preform and will give individuals and
groups a place to gather for everything from
exercise classes to poetry readings.
Keep checking back each month to learn
more about these exciting projects and
others in 2016!

Three newer parks on the Near Westside
When I was researching for my last column on Skiddy Park I came
across information about three newer parks which are also located in
our neighborhood: Jack’s Place, Ward Bakery Park, and Lipe Art Park.
This month, even though they are under cover of snow, I will introduce
you to their humble beginnings and then perhaps in the Spring you
may want to wander through the area and pay them a visit.
On Congress Ave. there is a pocket park, as Syracuse Parks and
Recreation likes to calls it. “Jack’s Place” is a senior park. This pocket
park was formerly a vacant lot and Jack Breen started cleaning it up
around 1990. Many of us on this end of town keep vacant lots near us
cleaned up. Gradually seniors began to gather there. With the help of
John “Uncle Bubba” Cannon and Mary Alice Smothers, at that time our corner //
working for Weed & Seed Program through Home Headquarters, it
became what is know today as Jack’s Place. There are benches and
a covered pavilion, even grills. It is a place where one can see checker games, barbecues,
birthday parties, weddings, yard sales, baby showers, etc. I recently asked Mary Alice
Smothers, now of PEACE, Inc., to give me a quote: “ A place where seniors and youth connect,
the past, present and future.” Just last summer, our artist in residence, Brendan Rose,
installed a new sculpture. It is definitely worth walking over to check that out.
When I moved here in 1972 there was a bakery in the neighborhood: Ward Bakery on
Shonnard Street. We always knew when they were baking, we could smell it everywhere.
Over time though they went out of business and we had an abandoned building; it sat there
tempting children to come play in it. In 1995 it was demolished and then we had an empty
lot. At some point after this the City asked the residents what we wanted; they had an idea
to take the 1.5 acre lot and build houses. The residents responded loud and clear that we
wanted a green space! In the fall of 1998 TNT Westside worked with 33 Syracuse University
architecture students and the result of that is what is now called Ward Bakery Park. Not
only is there a green space, which is often used for community gatherings, but there is also
a small playground area which receives a lot of use. It has definitely added a much-needed
green space to our neighborhood.
Cuando yo estaba haciendo investigaciones para mi último articulo
sobre el parque Skiddy, encontré información sobre tres parques
nuevos que también se encuentran en nuestro barrio: el lugar de Jack,
parque Ward Bakery y el parque de arte Lipe. Este mes, a pesar de que
están cubiertos de nieve, voy a presentarles a sus humildes comienzos
y luego tal vez en la primavera es posible que desee pasear por la zona
y les visitan.
En la avenida Congreso hay un “parque de bolsillo”, como dicen el
departamento de parque y recreación de Syracuse. “Lugar de Jack”
es un parque para las personas de tercer edad. Este parque de bolsillo
antes era un terreno baldío y Jack Breen comenzó la limpieza alrededor
nuestra esquina de 1990. Muchos de nosotros en este extremo de la ciudad mantenemos
los terrenos baldíos cerca de nosotros. Poco a poco las personas mayores
comenzaron a reunirse allí. Con la ayuda de John “Tío Bubba” Cannon
y Mary Alice Smothers, quien en ese tiempo estaba trabajando para el programa de Weed &
Seed través de Home Headquarters, se convirtió en lo que se conoce hoy en día como el Lugar
de Jack. Hay bancos y un pabellón cubierto, incluso hay parrillas. Es un lugar donde uno puede
ver los juegos de corrector, barbacoas, fiestas de cumpleaños, bodas, ventas de garaje, baby
showers, etc. Recientemente le pregunté a Mary Alice Smothers, ahora de PEACE, Inc., que me
diera una cita: “Un lugar donde las personas mayores y los jóvenes se conectan con el pasado,
presente y futuro “. El verano pasado, nuestro artista en residencia, Brendan Rose, instaló una
nueva escultura allá. Definitivamente vale la pena caminar a verlo.
Cuando me mudé aquí en 1972 había una panadería en el barrio: Ward Bakery en la calle
Shonnard. Siempre supimos cuando estaban horneando, podíamos olerlo en todas partes.
Con el tiempo cerraron el negocio y tuvimos un edificio abandonado; estaba allí tentando
a los niños a venir a jugar allí en sus condiciones peligrosos. En 1995 fue demolido y
luego tuvimos un terreno baldío. En algún momento después de esto la Ciudad pidió a los
residentes lo que queríamos; tenían una idea de tomar el lote de 1.5 acres y construir casas.
Los residentes respondieron alto y claro que queríamos un espacio verde! En el otoño de 1998
TNT Westside trabajó con 33 estudiantes de arquitectura de la Universidad de Syracuse y el
resultado de eso es lo que ahora se llama Ward Bakery Park. No sólo hay un espacio verde,
Lipe Art Park. What is that? Where is that? It runs along West Fayette Street, from near que se utiliza a menudo para reuniones de la comunidad, pero también hay una pequeña zona
South Geddes Street toward downtown, approximately two acres. The property this de juegos, que recibe una gran cantidad de uso. Definitivamente ha añadido un espacio verde

New local artist in residence
joins SALTQuarters in 2016
Nueva artista en residencia local en SALT Quarters para 2016
By Michelle Reynolds
SALTQuarters is excited to announce
our newest local artist-in-residence
for 2016:Justin Mastrangelo. Justin is
a graphic artist, printmaker, and art
educator. He earned a Masters of Art
from the State University of New York
at Oswego in 2013. His work deals
with contemporary forms of design,
illustration, and printmaking that
expand on traditional methods utilized
by visual artists. Justin works in both
digital and analog processes, creating
work that uses type, image, and selective
use of color to engage viewers.
While a printmaker by trade, Justin
also enjoys engaging with the public
in a variety of community based art
experiences. In the past few years, he has
helped organize community based art
and music events as well as assisted in
the organization and promotion of events
for artist communities. While his project
for SALTQuarters is still in the works,
he is certainly excited to get started. Be
sure to say hi when you see Justin in the
neighborhood!
SALT Quarters se complace en anunciar
nuestro nuevo artista en residencia local
para 2016: Justin Mastrangelo. Justin es
un artista gráfico, grabador, y educador
de arte. Obtuvo una Maestría en Arte
por la Universidad Estatal de Nueva York
en Oswego en 2013. Su trabajo es con
las formas contemporáneas de diseño,
ilustración y el grabado que se expanden
en los métodos tradicionales utilizados
por los artistas visuales. Justin trabaja
en ambos procesos digitales y analógicas,
la creación de trabajo que utiliza el tipo,
la imagen y el uso selectivo de color para
hacer participar a los espectadores.
Un grabador de oficio, Justin también
le gusta relacionarse con el público
en una variedad de experiencias de
arte basadas en la comunidad. En los
últimos años, ha ayudado a organizar el
arte basado en la comunidad y eventos
de música, así como la asistencia en la
organización y promoción de eventos para
las comunidades de artistas. Mientras
que su proyecto para SALT Quarters se
encuentra todavía en las obras, esta sin
duda emocionado de empezar. Saludara
cuando vea Justin en el barrio!
PARKS
FROM PAGE 2
park is located on what was a former railroad
yard; it does run right along the railroad
tracks. The park’s beginning was around 2006,
and was started by a sub-group of a local nonprofit, 40 Below and a group of artists located
in the Gear Factory. (They call themselves
park stewards.) Because of its location, right
next to an extremely busy city street, it can be
challenging to get to it. There is no parking
there. There is no playground, but it is a nice
green space, a couple of benches and picnic
tables. I have seen people utilizing the tables
throughout the good weather. But what is there
is an interesting variety of sculptures, art
forms, flower beds and lots of green space. I
occasionally go for a walk and visit the park.
Even though it is right by a busy street it is
rather peaceful.
When our weather warms and you can get
outside to safely go for a walk, why not check
these newer parks out and see what you think.
You could take your lunch and eat at any of
them. I’ll look for you.

el centro, a unos dos acres. La propiedad
de este parque se encuentra en lo que fue
un antiguo patio del ferrocarril; corre
a lado de la vía del tren. El comienzo
del parque fue de alrededor de 2006, y
fue iniciado por un subgrupo de una
organización no lucrativa local llamado
40 Below y un grupo de artistas situados
en la fábrica de engranajes. (Se llaman
los administradores del parque.) Debido
a su ubicación, justo al lado de una calle
muy concurrida de la ciudad, puede ser un
reto para llegar allá. No hay aparcamiento
allí. No hay zona de juegos, pero es un
agradable espacio verde, con un par de
bancos y mesas de picnic. He visto a
personas que utilizan las mesas cuando
hace buen tiempo. Pero lo que hay son
una interesante variedad de esculturas,
formas de arte, camas de f lores y un
montón de espacio verde. De vez en cuando
voy a dar un paseo y visitar el parque. A
pesar de que es justo al lado de una calle
muy transitada, es bastante tranquilo.
Cuando nuestro clima se calienta y se
puede salir a la calle para ir con seguridad
a dar un paseo, por qué no visitar estos
parques nuevos? Usted podría tomar su
almuerzo y comer en cualquiera de ellos.
Voy a estar viendo para usted.

West Street fence makeover coming this spring
Renovación de la cerca
por la calle West viene
esta primavera
Por Maarten Jacobs
En el otoño de 2015 el Departamento de
Transporte del Estado de Nueva York (NYSDOT
por sus siglas en ingles) y la ciudad de Syracuse
se unieron en colaboración con Near Westside
Initiative (NWSI) y trabajaron juntos para traer
grandes cambios y mejoras en la calle West.
Los cambios incluyen la reducción del número
de carriles para autos, mas estacionamiento, la
adición de un carril para bici, y la adición de
un paso de peatones en la calle Otisco. Además,
una larga cerca decorativa se instaló a lo largo
de la mediana con el fin de animar a la gente a
cruzar en los cruces peatonales adecuados en
lugar de arriesgar sus vidas cruzando la calle
West donde sea.
By Maarten Jacobs
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
In the fall of 2015 the New York
State Department of Transportation
(NYDOT) and the City of Syracuse
partnered together, and in collaboration with the Near Westside Initiative
(NWSI), worked to bring great changes
and improvements to West Street. The
changes included reducing the number
of car lanes, adding parking, adding
a bike path, and adding a pedestrian
crosswalk at Otisco Street. Additionally, a long decorative fence was installed
along the median so as to encourage
people to cross at proper crosswalks
rather than risking their lives by running across West Street.
Unfortunately, since the installation
of the fence, it has been hit by cars
repeatedly, causing it to need regular
maintenance. As a result, the NYDOT
has begun designing a new fence system that will be installed in the spring
of 2016. The fence will be sturdier
and will be rooted in concrete so that
minimal damage will occur in the case
of another automobile accident. In
the meantime, the fence will not be
repaired but rather will be patched as
needed with temporary fencing.
Thank you to everyone who has called
the NWSI and NYDOT with their concerns and questions about the fencing.
The NYDOT is confident that a good
solution will be installed in the spring
that will keep everyone safe, and would
become an eyesore for the community.
Lamentablemente, desde la instalación de la
cerca, coches en varias ocasiones chocaron con la
cerca, haciendo que se necesita un mantenimiento
regular. Como resultado, el NYSDOT ha iniciado
el diseño de un nuevo sistema de cerca que se
instalará en la primavera de 2016. La cerca será
más resistente y se arraiga en concreto para que
el mínimo daño se producirá en el caso de otro
accidente de automóvil. Mientras tanto, la cerca
no será reparada, sino más bien será parcheada
según sea necesario con cercas temporales.
¡Gracias a todos los que han llamado el NWSA
y NYSDOT con sus preocupaciones y preguntas
acerca de la cerca! El NYSDOT confía en que una
buena solución se instalará en la primavera y
mantendrá a todos salvos, sin convertirse en una
monstruosidad para la comunidad.
Que vendrá en el 2016 - una mirada a próximos proyectos en el Near Westside
By Maarten Jacobs
2016 se perfila rápidamente a ser otro gran
año para el Near Westside. Con un montón
de gran programación en curso, nuevos
proyectos, muchos eventos para la comunidad,
y nuevos socios, 2016 traerá un progreso más
emocionante para el barrio. A continuación
son sólo algunas cosas para este año:
NuVal viene a Nojaim
Bros. Grocery Store
¿Ha notado algunas nuevos letreros en
Nojaim Bros. que dicen “NuVal”? Se
pregunta que son? NuVal es una nueva
manera innovadora de ayudar a determinar
cuáles son los elementos más saludables de
todos los alimentos disponibles en la tienda,
dentro de cada categoría de alimentos. NuVal
da una nota a cada artículo en la tienda de 1
a 100 (100 es la más saludable) y le anima por
el consumo de alimentos que son similares
a los que usted come ahora, pero tienen
una puntuación más alta (siendo así más
saludable para usted). No deje de visitar
Nojaims para aprender más sobre NuVal,
y para ser parte de una demonstración de
alimentos en la tienda, y para encontrar
alimentos saludables en cada pasillo. NuVal
se pondrá en marcha en toda la tienda
durante todo el año con eventos frecuentes,
regalos e información gratuita sobre cómo
comer sano sin afectar su presupuesto.
Eventos comunitarios semanales
Durante los últimos seis meses, muchas de
las agencias de servicios locales han estado
reuniéndose para planificar un calendario
de eventos para la comunidad, destinados
a celebrar 50 eventos en 50 semanas. Estos
eventos se extienden en lugar y tema, pero
todos serán en el Near Westside y estarán
abiertos al público con el objetivo de crear
diversión, positivismo y oportunidades
seguras para nuestro barrio. Todos los
eventos serán parte de una más grande
4
iniciativa llamada “Take Back the Streets”
(ver para más información sobre esto el
próximo mes) que será bien publicitado en
toda la comunidad.
Nuevo Artista en Residencia Salt
Quarters
Dos artistas nuevos se trasladaron a la zona
del Westside en el espacio para artistas en
residencia Sal Quarters en enero. Patty
Ortiz, procedente de Texas, es un artista
increíblemente talentoso y es curadora. Su
trabajo este año se centrará en el concepto de
“trabajo” y hará la contratación de personas
de la comunidad durante todo el año para
ayudar a ella con diferentes instalaciones de
arte. Justin Mastrangelo es nuestra artista
en residencia local, llegando a Salt Quarters
de Oswego, Nueva York. Justin es un artista
experto con una pasión por serigrafía. Justin
pasará gran parte de su residencia haciendo
talleres de serigrafía y eventos dirigidos
a invitar a la gente a Salt Quarters para
conocer uno al otro y para crear obras de arte
“tomar y dibujar”.
Espacio de teatro comunitario en el
edificio Case Supply
A finales de 2015, recibimos la noticia que
estaba generosamente financiado por el
Senador John DeFrancisco construir un
teatro de la comunidad dentro del edificio
Case Supply ubicado en la esquina de las
calles Marcellus y Wyoming. Empezara
la construcción para un teatro para 125+
personas, así como dos plazas de estudio
de ensayo que serán accesibles a toda la
comunidad para espectáculos y eventos. El
espacio dará finalmente a las organizaciones
locales de arte un lugar asequible para
espetaculos y dará a los individuos y grupos
un lugar para reunirse para todo, desde
clases de ejercicios a lecturas de poesía.
Vuelva cada mes para aprender más acerca
de estos interesantes proyectos y otros en 2016!

Construction begins on Case Supply Building apartments
Empieza la construcción de los apartamentos Case Supply
By Maarten Jacobs
The former Case Supply building, located
at the intersection of Wyoming and
Marcellus streets, continues to see more
improvements. This time, 12 apartments
are being constructed on the 3rd f loor of the
building, in the previously vacant section
nestled between WCNY and ProLiteracy.
The construction began in late December
and will continue through spring and
summer and will be completed by the early
part of the fall in 2016. The apartments
will greatly vary in size and shape ranging
from a small studio apartment to a two
story, three bedroom apartment.
The apartments, designed by Lake
Architects and constructed by Burke
Contracting, will feature open living spaces
with modern kitchens and contemporary
fixtures. Tenants will each have access to
additional storage units, shared laundry
services, and private parking. All of the
apartments will take advantage of the large
window openings that used to be present
in the building which will provide great
natural light.
With close access to downtown (only a 3
minute walk!), easy access to 690 and I-81,
and all the great amenities that the Near
Westside community has to offer (local
grocery store, parks, schools, and services),
these apartments will be leasing quickly.
The Near Westside Initiative plans to start
leasing the apartments in mid-summer
(pricing yet to be determined).
Stay tuned for more construction updates
as the project unfolds!
El antiguo edificio de Case Supply, que se
encuentra en la intersección de las calles
Wyoming y Marcellus, sigue viviendo
más mejoras. Esta vez, 12 apartamentos se
están construyendo en la tercera planta
del edificio, en la sección previamente
vacante situado entre WCNY y ProLiteracy.
La construcción se inició a finales de
diciembre y continuará la primavera y el
verano y se completará en la primera parte
del otoño del año 2016. Los apartamentos
varían mucho en tamaño y forma, van
desde un pequeño apartamento a uno de dos
pisos y tres dormitorios .
Los apartamentos, diseñados por Lake
Arquitectos y construidos por Burke
Contracting, contaran con espacios
abiertos con una moderna cocina
y
accesorios
contemporáneos.
Los
inquilinos tendrán cada uno el acceso
a las unidades de almacenamiento
adicionales, servicio de lavandería
compartida y aparcamiento privado.
Todos los apartamentos se aprovechará de
las grandes aberturas de las ventanas que
solían estar presentes en el edificio que
proporcionaran mucha luz natural.
Con acceso cercano al centro (a sólo 3
minutos a pie!), fácil acceso a la 690 y
la I-81, y todos los grandes servicios
que la comunidad Near Westside ofrece
(tienda local de comestibles, parques,
escuelas y servicios), éstos apartamentos
serán arrendados rápidamente. Near
Westside Initiative planea comenzar el
arrendamiento de los apartamentos en pleno
verano (aún los precios por determinar).

al
tanto

más
actualizaciones de construcción, mientras
que el proyecto se desarrolla!
