US must shun intolerance

Anti-Muslim xenophobia and intolerance have soared in the past month over the efforts to build an Islamic cultural center in Lower Manhattan. And the intolerance is spreading, from New York City to Tennessee, California, and many other locations, including here in Western New York. Five teenagers were arrested recently, charged with harassing members of the World Sufi Mosque Foundation in Carlton, Orleans County, shouting obscenities during worship services, firing guns outside the mosque, and sideswiping a congregant with a car. Members of the mosque report that there have been sporadic incidents of this sort for a number of years, but their frequency has recently increased. Other mosques also report an upsurge in threatening calls. These acts are reprehensible. But the problem with intolerance towards Islam in the United States today goes far beyond the handful of persons who engage in violent acts. They are abetted by a political current that seeks to strip Islam of the right of free worship guaranteed to all religions under the Constitution, as if somehow the mere act of Muslim worship is an affront. Our response, as Americans, as Jews, must be loud and unequivocal. Any religious group, meeting legitimate zoning requirements, has the right to worship, undisturbed, in any location of their choosing. This is a special time for Jews and Muslims, just after the High Holy Days and the holy month of Ramadan. And with the recent launching of direct negotiations in Washington, it is a time of anticipation for all who wish to see peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The talks will be knotted and difficult as the parties try to solve complex and divisive issues that have festered for decades. We can only hope that their efforts succeed. The United States will play a major role in the negotiations, and one thing we Americans can do to help the peace process is to show to the rest of the world, City

especially the Muslim world, that members of all faiths worship in the US without fear of violence or harassment and are embraced as full equals in a nation with a remarkable history of religious diversity and tolerance.

Tea Partiers would roll back the clock

Not long ago, a flair for rhetoric, passing familiarity with biblical verses, and a need for a following could be enough to land someone in a small-town pulpit. Today, it seems, it is the recipe to a political office and a top-tier Republican candidacy — or perhaps even becoming president. Sarah Palin isn’t the only conservative dressing up appeals to intolerance in a wardrobe of new words. Riding her coattails is a host of characters exploiting hard times, the power vacuum among Republicans, and a scarcity of reporters and editors well versed in both religion and politics. The absence of scrutiny and silence by fellow Republicans eager for electoral gain are allowing the opportunists to remake themselves as the standard bearers for the right. Like the frenzy of McCarthyism that drove GOP gains in 1950 or the 1980 turnout that Jerry Falwell spiked with revivalist fervor, Republicans are eyeing 2010 as a once-in-a-generation chance to alter the political landscape. Personal attacks and innuendo against immigrants and religious minorities have joined traditional diatribes against gays and black people in the GOP script for getting votes this year. This fluency in fringe ideology and appeal to intolerance now substitute for leadership among the Carl Paladino’s and Christine O’Donnell’s. If the right wins the majority in November, it will skew the course of decision-making rightward and backward. That means rehashed fights about posting of the Ten Com-

mandments, citizenship, and voting standards, enforcement of civil rights and pro-gay legislation, regulating Wall Street and big banks, access to contraception, the legality of the clean-water and emissions standards, the minimum wage, and of course, Social Security. It means a diminished state of our democracy and our standing in the world. Tea Partiers and conservative voters want to roll back the clock. Independents and political moderates need to take notice. And if this doesn’t motivate the Democrats to get out and vote, I don’t know what will. OVE OVERMYER, ROCHESTER

Republicans own this recession

President Obama has repeatedly referred to the Republicans’ handling of the economy as a car wreck: the Republicans drove the economy into a ditch, and now they are asking for the keys back. The analogy strikes me as slightly off track. Those who drive cars into ditches do not generally have the option of walking away and pretending nothing had happened. More to the point, a Republican administration did total the financial dreams of middle- and working-class Americans, but they subsequently drove off without leaving so much as a note behind. The party of personal irresponsibility is guilty of a hit-and-run job on the economy, yet from their behavior over the past two years, you would think there had been no witnesses. The Clinton administration bequeathed to its Republican successor a series of projected budgets in the black, lined up as far as the eye could see. On entering office, Bush and a Republican Congress knocked down those surpluses like a row of dominoes. After eight years of reckless foreign policy, lopsided tax cuts, and a systematic attack on government regulation, the Bush administration returned to the Democrats a devastated economy with budget deficits as far as the eye could see. How long is America going to remain at the bottom of Alice’s rabbit hole? How about showing some humility, my conservative friends and colleagues — and, for decency’s sake, taking some responsibility for plunging our nation into its deepest economic hole since the Great Depression.

Don’t lose heart? I’m trying not to “I need you fired up,” our againcharismatic president told a big crowd in Madison, Wisconsin, last week. “Now,” he said, “is not the time to lose heart.” Frankly, I’m finding it hard not to lose heart. But as for being fired up: not to worry. I’m in a perpetual state of fired-up these days. And a week with friends in the Adirondacks and on Cape Cod didn’t help. The friends, all staunch liberals, are fired up, too. On walks, fixing breakfast, eating dinner, we raged. And much of the rage was aimed at the Democrats in Congress. What on earth is going on down there? All John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have to do is whisper “boo!” and the Democrats run. It shouldn’t be hard to counter the Republicans’ fabrications, but the Democrats haven’t figured out how to do it. In his speech in Madison, President Obama recalled the mess he inherited from the Bush administration: Job growth from 2001 to 2009 “slower than it had been in any decade since World War II.” Middle-class incomes that had dropped 5 percent. Health-care costs that had risen dramatically. A recession that, as he put it, “is deeper than the last three recessions combined.” He did not mention one of the most serious Bush legacies: a deficit caused by tax cuts accompanying a needless war. Incredibly, Republicans have managed to hang the deficit noose around the Democrats’ necks — so successfully that the Democrats wouldn’t even vote this month on letting tax cuts expire for the wealthiest Americans. Terrified of the Republicans, they postponed action until after the election. Obama cited a few of his administration’s accomplishments: We have not only avoided a second recession but private-sector jobs have grown for the last eight months; working families and small businesses got tax breaks; legislation has put us on the road to sanity in health care. And Obama noted what Republicans plan to do if they take control of Congress: Make tax breaks for the rich permanent, increasing the deficit. Strengthen the power of big business. Loosen regulations on the financial industry, oil companies, healthinsurance companies. Chip away at healthcare reform. Cut education funding.

All John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have to do is whisper ‘boo!’ and the Democrats run.” The Madison speech was pure, 2008campaign Obama. And yes, he should have been doing this earlier. But some of the Democrats in Congress have made matters worse, cowering, shuffling, evading — and sometimes joining the Republicans. (Couldn’t Joe Lieberman just go ahead, become a Republican, and get it over with?) “We are being tested here,” Obama told the Madison audience. “The question is, are we going to have the courage to keep moving forward even in the face of difficulty, even in the face of uncertainty?” He’s right; Americans who voted for him are being tested in this Congressional election. But so are the Democrats in Congress. And many of them seem to lack the courage Obama is calling for.

Paladino’s words

Many journalists have waltzed around the story of Carl Paladino’s e-mails, saying that they were offensive, but, squeamishly, not printing them. Thanks to the New York Times’ Bob Herbert for giving us the details. Some of the e-mails Paladino sent to friends were pure pornography, and you can debate whether that makes Paladino unfit for the governor’s office. But one e-mail, Herbert notes, shows black men running from a moving airplane. The caption: “Run niggers, run.” Another portrays Barack Obama dressed as a pimp and Michelle Obama dressed as a prostitute. That this is Paladino’s idea of humor would be disgusting enough if he weren’t a candidate. But he’s running for the most important elected office in one of the biggest states in the country. Paladino’s spokesperson shrugged off the e-mails as “bad judgment.” They’re far more than that. They give us a look at how Paladino views blacks.

The three structures at 1170 Genesee Street in the city’s 19th Ward will be torn down for either single-family homes or condos. The site was once an orphanage and most recently it was Valley Court Apartments. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

The City of Rochester has received five proposals to redevelop the old Valley Court Apartments property in Rochester’s 19th Ward. The 4.5acre parcel at 1170 Genesee Street is the former site of the Jewish Orphan Asylum. Bret Garwood, the city’s director of business and housing development, says the site will be redeveloped into market-rate, owner-occupied housing: either single-family homes or condos. City officials are reviewing the five proposals, Garwood says, and will announce their decision either this month or next. The three stately looking structures on the property are brick and wood framed buildings from circa 1916. A representative from the State Historic Preservation Office says the buildings are architecturally significant and probably eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The site’s unique use as a one-time orphanage and the fact that many historic materials remain intact on both the interior and exterior of the

buildings contribute to its eligibility, the report says. The Landmark Society’s Cynthia Howk echoes that. The buildings are “very important and a unique resource,” she says. But Garwood says it would cost too much to save the buildings, especially compared to the market value of the property. Each building would cost more than $1 million to fix up, he says, and the market study says the sale price of the property is approximately $1.9 million. But Howk says that any developer would be eligible for “significant tax credits” given the historic nature of the site. The buildings have been used for police and fire training in recent months, and the evidence is apparent. Garwood says the training that really damaged the buildings — the fire department cut holes in at least one of the slate roofs — took place after the city had decided to demolish the buildings.

Ultimately, voters must decide what they want the next attorney general to do. Do they want a Wall Street watchdog? Or would they rather the attorney general police legislators? Susan Lerner, executive director of the good-government group Common Cause New York, says the attorney general’s office could, and should, do both.

The low-profile attorney general race

Concerns raised about Midtown deal

The mudslinging in the state attorney general’s race has occasionally sparked discussion of actual issues. Beneath inflammatory statements like “Why does Eric Schneiderman give a pass to deadbeat dads?” or “It’s shocking that Dan Donovan thinks now is the time to be soft on financial crime,” lies some substance. Despite the rhetoric, Donavan, a Republican who serves as Staten Island’s district attorney, is highlighting a specific, legit issue: he wants to know why Schneiderman hasn’t advanced a bill to criminalize non-payment of child support. Schneiderman, a Democratic state senator, chairs the codes committee, which is where the legislation’s stuck. Likewise, Schneiderman’s is underscoring the different agendas each candidate would set for the office. Schneiderman said he’d have no problem continuing as the Sheriff of Wall Street and scrutinizing the finance industry. Donovan, on the other hand, has said he’d focus on public corruption and implied that Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo targeted Wall Street to grab headlines. Ultimately, voters must decide what they want the next attorney general to do. Do they want a Wall Street watchdog? Or would they rather the attorney general police legislators? Susan Lerner, executive director of the good-

government group Common Cause New York, says the attorney general’s office could, and should, do both. The attorney general’s office also used to have larger divisions to handle things like consumer fraud and utility problems, she says. Other issues also set the candidates apart. Schneiderman is a strong supporter of abortion rights and marriage equality. Donovan wants to see immigration law reformed at the federal level, supports civil confinement for sex offenders, and wants to track the flow of terrorist money into charities and nonprofits.

Nazareth builds its health-care muscle

Physical therapy students train on parallel bars. PHOTO BY Mike hanlon

Dontay McCray was 17 when a serious automobile accident made him a quadriplegic. “It broke my neck and bruised my spinal cord,” he says. “It left me with limited movement in my hands and legs.” A team of four physical therapy students is working with McCray on standing and regaining his balance. McCray is just one of hundreds of people being treated at Nazareth College’s rehabilitation clinics. Students in the physical therapy clinic — a large room resembling a gymnasium with weights, exercise machines, and parallel bars — have been working to build strength in McCray’s legs. They support him into a sitting position on a pneumatic pad larger than a king-size bed. It’s been a slow, tough slog for McCray. “If you do the work, there’s improvement,” he says. “And the students are great. They push me even on those days when I don’t feel like doing it.” Across the room, Swelonke Simela rests on his back while a student straightens Simela’s leg and lifts gently, stretching his hamstrings and calf muscles. Simela had a stroke five years ago that left him paralyzed on one side of his body. Now he’s walking again. Over the last four decades, Nazareth has been positioning itself as one of the Northeast’s top choices for students interested in careers in health and human services. City

OCTOBER 6-12, 2010

While RIT and the University of Rochester have emphasized research, Nazareth has stressed delivery of skilled services. The college offers a battery of undergraduate and graduate programs in nursing, social work, speech pathology, physical therapy, and music and arts therapy. Most of the programs are housed on campus in one building. And next fall, Nazareth will add occupational therapy to the mix. Many colleges offer programs in the health and human services fields. But few have created such an extensive offering of interrelated and allied services. It’s a branding strategy that distinguishes Nazareth from most other colleges, officials say, and it’s one they plan to continue to build on. The degree programs vary. In some areas

including nursing, the college offers a couple of avenues to a bachelor’s degree. But in others such as physical therapy, students can earn a bachelor’s and a doctorate’s degree in six years. “The constellation of health professional programs we have assembled is unique,” says Shirley Szekeres, dean of the college’s School of Health and Human Services. “Getting the go-ahead for the occupational therapy program was very important. That is big.” It has taken several years to develop the occupational therapy program, Szekeres says, but it was a necessary addition to round out the college’s

offerings. It is part of what Szekeres calls “providing a life participation approach” to services. So often, she says, therapists find that the isolation a patient experiences in the aftermath is worse than the injury or illness. Nazareth’s rehabilitation clinics see people from almost every age group, from young children to seniors. Students learn rehabilitation skills for a wide range of illnesses and disorders — everything from autism spectrum disorders in children to brain damage in adults. The advantage for students is learning in an inter-professional culture. It’s not unusual for a person to require the support of multiple disciplines. A stroke victim, for instance, may need physical therapy and speech therapy. And if the person is of working age, occupational therapy may be needed, too. “That kind of collaboration we are providing is more likely than not what students will need to be able to do once they’re in the field,” Szekeres says. And the degrees, she says, lead to good-paying careers. The licensure rate for Nazareth students is high. In physical therapy, 96 percent of Nazareth’s students last year passed their state exam the first time they took it. In speech, 100 percent of students passed the first time. Most experts would agree with Szekeres: the demand for health and human services professionals is expected to be strong well into the next decade. There is even a diverse range of job opportunities in social work, a career with about as much demand as beekeeping 30 years ago. Nazareth offers a master’s degree in social work. The college has also been among the first to explore new approaches to therapy. Nazareth has a program in Creative Arts Therapy for students to learn to use music and arts therapeutically. The field is still in its infancy.

Adding occupational therapy to Nazareth’s health and human services programs was part of a long-term strategy, says Dean Shirley Szekeres. PHOTO BY Mike hanlon

“It’s a field for musicians and artists who want to be therapists,” says Bryan Hunter, the department’s chair. “In both cases, students have to bring developed skills in music and the arts.” Music therapy is especially helpful, Hunter says, to people with language barriers. “So much of our other therapies focus on speech, which is great when it’s there,” he says. “But what do you do if it’s not? A stroke patient may have lost all language overnight, but often they can still respond to music.” The benefits of having rehabilitation

clinics for arts, music, physical, and speech therapies under one roof are not just for Nazareth’s students, Szekeres says. Faculty members use them as research laboratories. But the School of Health and Human Services plays an important role in the Rochester region, too. Last year, the college provided services to more than 3,300 people. And the services are free. While the clinics receive some support from grants and private donations, they do not accept third-party reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance carriers. While there are long waiting lists for services, there are no established limits to the amount of care people receive, a battle many people face with the health-care system. Some people have been coming to Nazareth’s clinics for several years. “As long as they have something to work on, a goal we’re trying to achieve, we’ll see them,” Szekeres says. “We don’t turn anyone away.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

The September 29 article on the restoration of the Frank Lloyd Wright house, “Preserving a ‘Rochester Treasure,’ contained several errors. Owner Fran Cosentino’s name was misspelled, and we incorrectly stated that the Boynton House is the farthest east home that Wright designed. The article may also have left the impression that careless work by all previous owners had contributed to the structural problems in the house and that none of those owners had done careful restoration work. In fact, some had invested heavily in restoration. Some of the more serious problems were due to work done much earlier in the life of the house and to insect damage that wasn’t entirely visible.

Dining trouble waiting in long lines for Maldonado’s cooking. I like to save the crunchy skin for dessert. It’s so glossy and hard that you really can’t break it with anything but your teeth, making it impossible to do anything but pick it up and chomp away. If you can somehow manage to pull yourself away from the pork, the chicken is a good second choice, roasted in some way that I don’t understand so that the juicy flesh within slips right off the bone, but the skin remains gloriously crispy ($7.75 with yellow or white rice). The dark meat is particularly good, acting as a sponge for the spices with which the birds are rubbed down before they hit the oven. Every bite infused with garlic and the slightly bitter taste of saffron. Forced to take your lunch on the run and

House hunting Tu Casa 740 St. Paul St. | 232-5180 Tuesday-Friday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

At 3 a.m., when most of us are still in bed dreaming, Manuel Maldonado is already in the kitchen making lunch. The owner of Tu Casa on St. Paul Street gets up early every day, not because he has breakfast customers to get ready for — the restaurant only serves lunch and dinner — but because he insists on making everything he serves at this Puerto Rican restaurant from scratch every day. Maldonado starts his day by rubbing down a whole pig with salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices and sliding it into one of his two massive ovens to roast. He then turns his attention to the 14 or so chickens he will need for the day, the ribs, and several pounds of pork shoulder that he skewers and then roasts along with onions and red peppers for shish kebab. At some point in the morning, his wife, Iris Santana (who will hold down the kitchen while Maldonado works the counter at the front of the restaurant once

service begins), joins him in the kitchen where he is already well into preparing the day’s side dishes. Starting by making his own achiote — a product of cooking brick-red annatto seeds and other spices along with rendered lard over low heat until the seeds release their color and their saffron-like flavor — Maldonado produces a staggering quantity of yellow rice studded with pigeon peas, a similar mountain of white rice, and what could only be several hundred plantains which he serves fried, boiled, and roasted. This would be enough prep work for any cook, but Maldonado also makes most of his own pastries, producing several kinds of meat-stuffed fried appetizers each day (the only thing he doesn’t make himself are the Jamaican beef patties), and the restaurant’s lone dessert, flan. By 10 a.m., when he hangs the “open” sign on the front door ― right above the sign telling customers that his restaurant does not accept credit cards — the 73-year-old Maldonado has already worked a full day, but his day isn’t even half over yet. By noon, particularly on Fridays or when the weather turns bad, Tu Casa can be crazy

busy with the take-out line stretching out the door, almost every table full, and the air full of the aroma of roasted meats, garlic, and the occasional whiff of the bright orange hot sauce that Maldonado makes himself. On days like this, the early bird gets the worm: occasionally the pork runs out by midafternoon, a whole pig reduced to a pile of bones and cartilage in a matter of a couple of hours. During the busy times, conversations are punctuated with the steady crump of the owner’s cleaver hitting the cutting board, deftly hacking apart chickens, ribs, and pork that are served either as sandwiches (a good option for lunch on the run) or as complete dinners that could easily feed two people. A plate of fork-tender roasted pork, topped with an amber rectangle of candyhard, savory pork skin comes with another plate heaped with yellow rice ($7.75), boiled plantains ($6.50), fried plantains ($7), or white rice ($7.75), plus a bowl full of red beans and cubes of potatoes submerged in a thick gravy enriched with cumin, garlic, and achiote. Shred the pork, plop it on the rice, spoon on some beans, and then sprinkle just a dash of hot sauce on it, and you’ll understand why people have no

don’t want to juggle a sandwich? Maldonado makes an assortment of Puerto Rican street food including two variations on the croquetta, pork shish kebab, and occasionally whole plantains stuffed with spiced ground beef and roasted until the green banana becomes soft and sweet ($2). The banana is particularly noteworthy here, but it’s not always available. More reliable are the two kinds of croquettas — a sausage-shaped pastry made out of mashed yucca and a ball of roughly mashed potatoes, both mixed with a generous amount of achiote and wrapped around a spicy filling of ground beef, and then fried golden brown. The yucca croquetta ($1) is quite good, creamy inside, crispy outside, but I lean toward the potato ($1). The combination of mashed and fried potato in one dish is just too good to pass up, particularly when those potatoes have been “buttered” with pork fat. Add a skewer of tender, fire-roasted pork bathed in Maldonado’s bright-red garlic barbecue sauce ($2), and you are good to go. None of these treats cost more than $2, and two of them will make a very satisfying, cheap, and sustaining lunch that will make you the envy of your co-workers when you bring it back to the office (be sure to bring extra napkins, you will need them). Plan to take leftovers home; that way you can save room for a square of Maldonado’s flan ($2). Tinted bright yellow with eggs and annatto and then slowroasted atop caramel that walks that very thin line between perfect and burned, this is one custard that you should not pass up, even if that means you have to save your pork skin for an afternoon snack.

Even the leaves around here know to pretty themselves up when ImageOut time rolls around. Unspooling October 8-17, the Rochester Lesbian & Gay Film & Video Festival celebrates its 18th chapter this year with 87 narratives, documentaries, and shorts from all over the planet concerned with the lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender experience. ImageOut continues to showcase vital programs like the Youth Project Film Series, a selection of films free to those under 21, as well as the subsidized ImageOutreach initiative, which offers senior discounts, signlanguage interpreting, and other services designed to make the festival accessible to anyone who wants to participate. Oh, and don’t forget about ImageOut There!, now in its third year of raising questions (and temperatures) with some of the most controversial (and hot) flicks available. And for a review of this year’s edition of the related “ImageArt” exhibition, see the feature on page 22. Of course, you can learn much more about all of this at imageout.org, or by calling the festival office at 271-2640. So…I feel like I’m forgetting something. Oh, right; the movies! Here are a dozen of this year’s highlights.

S ANNE LISTER THE SECRET DIARIES OF MIS 10 City OCTOBER 6-12, 2010

Despite a First Amendment safeguarding freedom of speech, poetry like “fucked in the ass by saintly motorcyclists, and screamed with joy” was enough to get one’s own ass hauled into a courtroom on obscenity charges back in 1957. For “Howl,” which shares its title with Beat icon Allen Ginsberg’s gracefully profane roar against conformity, co-directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (“The Celluloid Closet”) blend reenactments of interviews with Ginsberg and the court proceedings against “Howl” publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti with

inventive animation that breathes life into the poet’s words. The trial scenes feature a parade of recognizable faces — Jon Hamm, David Strathairn, and Jeff Daniels, to name a few — shedding a little light on the contemporaneous reception of “Howl” among both the morality-minded as well as the forward thinkers. But this film belongs to the unpredictable James Franco, who affectionately channels Ginsberg, confiding to his never-seen interviewer that he was able to be so uninhibited with “Howl” because he didn’t think it would ever be published. The most stirring interludes are simply Ginsberg’s first live recitation of “Howl,” occasionally juxtaposed against Eric Drooker’s vivid drawings and Carter Burwell’s evocative score. Just as Ginsberg was one of his generation’s brightest, “Howl” allows Franco to stake that claim in this one.

“ SEX IN AN EPIDEMIC”

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9

11:45 A.M., DRYDEN THEATRE One of the standout documentaries of ImageOut 2005 was “Gay Sex in the 70’s,” which chronicled the liberated, balls-out fun

the boys enjoyed in the decade following the riots at the Stonewall Inn in the summer of 1969. Jean Carlomusto’s sobering yet hopeful “Sex in an Epidemic” acts as a sort of followup to that earlier film, opening in 1981 with the confusion and fear that took hold once a mysterious disease (scientists called it a rare form of cancer) began spreading through the gay community. “Sex in an Epidemic” threads archival footage through interviews with the heroic activists and educators who devoted themselves to ensuring that those who had fought so fiercely to claim their sexuality had access to the facts about AIDS, especially in light of the government’s initial reluctance to acknowledge what one interviewee calls “the most political disease that ever came down the pike.” And with HIV rates rising among youth and minorities, a film like “Sex in an Epidemic” guarantees that the dialogue continues.

“ UNDERTOW” SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9

6:45 P.M., LITTLE THEATRE Anyone watching Miguel (Cristian Mercado) would think he leads a blessed, busy life. Miguel works as a fisherman in a gorgeous

Peruvian oceanside village, where he and his loving wife, Mariela (Tatiana Astengo), are getting ready to welcome their first child. They even find time to cook lunch every Saturday for their church. And, despite claims that he’s “not like that,” Miguel is having an affair with the distractingly blue-eyed Santiago (Manolo Cardona), an artist who frequently visits the sunny haven for “inspiration.” But lusty romps in the sand are no longer enough for the smitten Santiago, and “Undertow” observes as Miguel wrestles with issues of love, desire, and responsibility, both to others and to himself. The compelling script stays grounded even when it ventures into romantic supernaturalism a la “Truly Madly Deeply,” enabling writer-director Javier Fuentes-León to explore everyday life in a place where the men blindly aspire to macho-dom and outsiders are regarded with provincial suspicion. Astengo wisely underplays a role that could have easily succumbed to shrill histrionics once Mariela confronts her husband’s double life, while Mercado makes Miguel’s struggle for truth palpable and poignant as he tries to become a man that his new baby son could be proud of.

“ LOST IN THE CROWD” SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

1:45 P.M., LITTLE THEATRE The title of Susi Graf ’s essential documentary refers to the throngs of LGBT teens and young adults trying to survive on the streets of New York City, leaving their negative home environments only to land in an apathetic and dangerous rat race. Shot between 2003 and 2010, “Lost in the Crowd” personalizes the plight of these kids by introducing us to a few of them, as well as the outreach workers dedicated to preventing them from becoming statistics. “I don’t think anyone will ever be good to me,” confesses Kimy, a 19-year-old transgendered woman with eyelashes to die for and an irresistibly sweet nature, while the hyperarticulate Adrian, the youngest of 14 children, was told by his mom that he couldn’t live with his family and be gay. Each has endured harrowing yet all-toocommon episodes of violence, prostitution, and drugs. But among the cautionary tales are some successes, like Jazmine, who recently earned her master’s degree, and the Latina stunner Gisele, a transgendered model-actress whose mother puts it bluntly: “You have to support your child. No matter what. Always.” continues on page 12

judgment. And that uniquely childlike willingness to take things at face value prevents us from critiquing the actions of adults too puzzled and prideful to think clearly. Solomonoff ’s sensitivity with the script carries over into her directing, especially with her two young leads, their unaffected performances reminding us that who someone is matters far more than what he is.

“ THE LAST SUMMER OF LA BOYITA” SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

1:45 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

“ WILD ABOUT HARRY” SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

4:15 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

Let me go out on a limb here and declare that no one makes better hermaphrodite coming-of-age movies than our friends in Argentina. Fans of ImageOut 2008’s intense “XXY” should appreciate the equally powerful drama “The Last Summer of La Boyita,” a beautifully acted tale of innocence lost and acceptance gained. It’s told through the eyes of lonely tween Jorgelina (Guadalupe Alonso); her older sister is boy-crazy and bleeding, so rather than deal with that tornado of hormones on a beach vacation, Jorgelina chooses to travel with her father to the countryside. That’s where she reconnects with her friend Mario (Nicolás Treise), a stoic young horseman undergoing some surprising changes of his own. Writer-director Julia Solomonoff makes the perceptive decision to put her candid words in the mouths of babes, typically too busy processing the weird world to allow themselves the luxury of

They say to write what you know, but even before the lovely dedication that closes “Wild About Harry,” it’s obvious that Gwen Wynne’s own upbringing informs much of her filmmaking debut. It’s 1973 on Cape Cod, where teen sisters Madeline (Danielle Savre) and Daisy (Skye McCole Bartusiak) have just relocated with their woodworker father Harry (Tate Donovan) following the death of their mother. Madeline is understandably anxious about this next chapter, with a new school and new boys (like sleepy-sexy Josh Peck, “The Wackness”). So what if her dad’s business partner, Mr. Gibbs (Adam Pascal), now lives “out back”? Well, this is ImageOut, after all, so we know the deal long before Madeline, who begins hurling single women at her father

once she learns of the relationship between the two men. “Wild About Harry” watches as both Madeline and Harry come to terms with his sexuality, the latter threatened with losing custody of his children once word gets around. And though the entire cast completely overacts (except the surprisingly good Donovan), Wynne has nonetheless crafted an adoring tribute to unconventional families everywhere.

“ A FROZEN FLOWER”

the queen. Hong loves his new position — all of them, in fact — and things heat up as the king’s jealousy consumes everything in its path. A total guilty pleasure, “A Frozen Flower” is a sudsy melange of sumptuous fabrics, opulent sets, gravity-defying combat, laughably bad acting, torrid sex, and a tiny bit of castration.

“ TICKED-OFF TRANNIES WITH KNIVES” SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10

10 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

6:45 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

If you’re skeeved out by straight people getting it on, then you should probably avoid Yoo Ha’s “A Frozen Flower.” Set during the 14th century, the South Korean epic tells the based-on-a-true-story of a king (Joo Jin-mo) who handpicked three dozen young boys to train as his guardian force. Ten years later, Hong Lim (Jo In-sung) is the head of this elite corps, and it’s a badly kept secret that Hong also shares the king’s bed. This fact is known even to his nonetoo-pleased queen (Song Ji-hyo). Conflict ensues in the form of political intrigue as the queen’s family demands an heir if the king is to remain in power. But the king, to recap, is gay, so he hits upon the brilliant idea of enlisting Hong, who has never been with a woman before, to service

That title just about sums it up. You need more? Fine. Writer-director Israel Luna’s homage to 70’s exploitation movies stars a gaggle of chicks with dicks, all friends and co-workers at a Dallas nightclub, who take matters into their own manicured hands following a disturbing hate crime. Apparently the stacked Bubbles (Krystal Summers) made local redneck Boner (Thomas Zembrod) angry enough to kill after his groping paws touched upon her manhood, so now it’s up to Bubbles, the bossy Pinky La’Trimm (Kelexis Davenport), and the hilarious Britney rip-off Rachel Slurr (William Belli) to teach Boner and his henchboys a lesson.

Luna’s decision to incorporate authentic details like scratches and missing frames unfortunately feels less than fresh in this post-”Grindhouse” era, and the thing is too sadistic by about 15 minutes. (Luna wants to make sure we won’t mind Boner being, oh, penetrated by a gun. We don’t.) But neither exploitation flicks nor glammy tranny vigilantes are noted for their subtlety, and the sassy “Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives” delivers exactly what it promises.

“ TWO SPIRITS:

GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND THE MURDER OF FRED MARTINEZ” WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13 6:30 P.M., INGLE AUDITORIUM

It’s lucky for us that misguided Christian imperialism didn’t totally snuff out the vibrant belief systems of Those Who Were Here First, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to learn about the Two Spirits. Many Native American cultures have long recognized — and celebrated — genders beyond the usual pair; the feminine man and the masculine woman represent balance, and traditionally take on the roles of healers and teachers. The thinking was that people should be judged solely on their contributions to society. How primitive. But what’s heartbreaking is that most of us will first learn about this fascinating aspect of Native American life through Lydia Nibley’s absorbing documentary “Two Spirits,” which examines the brutal 2001 murder of 16-year-old Fred Martinez through historical context as well as interviews with the people affected by his death. We see photos of Fred as both a boy and a girl, while interviewees marvel at the teen’s true heart. “He just wanted to be beautiful,” Fred’s brave mom, Pauline, tells us, which can’t help but make you wonder why live and let live is such a hard concept for some people to grasp.

“ MAKING THE BOYS” FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15

6:30 P.M., CINEMA THEATER Not half as filthy as it sounds, Crayton Robey’s “Making the Boys” takes an indepth look at the creation and impact of Mart Crowley’s “The Boys in the Band,” a watershed 1968 play that told the simple story of a group of gay men getting

together in a Manhattan apartment to celebrate a birthday. It doesn’t seem that groundbreaking now, but in the years before Stonewall, the American stage hadn’t yet seen homosexuality depicted so honestly, flesh-and-blood human beings with real fears and insecurities. Of course, Crowley’s production had its detractors, even among his gay peers; playwright Edward Albee says he was afraid the stereotypical characterizations could do “serious damage to a burgeoning gay respectability movement.” No one was more surprised by the play’s success than the charming Crowley, at the time a somewhat successful writer who moved in famous circles where his sexual preference was no big deal. Crowley’s witty and sincere reminiscences comprise much of “Making the Boys,” along with memories from the surviving cast as well as Crowley contemporaries like Dominick Dunne and William Friedkin. Also included are hindsight observations of guys like the defiantly ignorant realityTV star Christian Siriano and the sharp sex columnist Dan Savage, who points out that, “To be a dumb gay person is a luxury that was won for you by gay people who came before, when being gay was so complicated, and so difficult, that dumb gay people didn’t last.”

“ I KILLED MY MOTHER” SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16

1:30 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

As adults, it’s tempting to watch Xavier Dolan as 16-year-old Hubert in the resonant Canadian drama “I Killed My Mother” and accuse him of screechy over-emoting as he rages against his mom Chantale (Anne Dorval) for whatever happens to be bothering him that day. But if you know a teenager, or ever were one, you’re forced to admit that he’s actually got it quite right. As for the title, though, it’s merely figurative; the film explores the contentious relationship between Hubert and Chantale, whose moody son hasn’t yet told her he’s gay. The fact that Dolan also wrote and directed “I Killed My Mother” at barely 20

years old is astonishing. He has a keen ear for the way people can verbally eviscerate the ones they love, and makes stylish visual choices, like shooting in black-andwhite and occasionally framing off-center. (Incidentally, the camera adores this beautiful boy.) And Dorval is magnificent as Hubert’s single mom, struggling with her own hang-ups and self-absorption as she tries to understand her son, who learns, in turn, a few things about respect and trust.

“ THE SECRET DIARIES OF MISS ANNE LISTER” SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16

7:30 P.M., DRYDEN THEATRE

“ZP4Z-Z” is how the real-life Anne Lister referred to her great love in her voluminous journals; that this individual answered to the name Mariana was the reason Anne didn’t pen it outright. It wasn’t until 150 years after her death that cryptographers were able to translate the coded entries, and the dizzyingly romantic “The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister” is based on what they found. Opening in West Yorkshire in 1821, the film introduces us to the smart, singleminded Anne (Maxine Peake from the BBC’s “Red Riding” trilogy), who is soon clad in mourning black upon Mariana’s (Anna Madeley) marriage to an old, round landowner. But Anne is not deterred, and we alternately soar and crash with her as Anne’s hope for reuniting with Mariana collides with the male-dominated realities of life in Regency-era England. Anne, of course, has other options, like settling for the lovesick Tib (beautiful Susan Lynch, the selkie from “The Secret of Roan Inish”), or marrying her wealthy, condescending neighbor, who goads Anne over the rumors that she prefers the company of the fairer sex. Anne makes no effort to deny those rumors, and “The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister” pays tribute to a woman who was truly, passionately, ahead of her time.

Just can’t get enough [ REVIEW ] BY KATHERINE STATHIS

My guts constrict when I hear the words “tribute band.” Pair the phrase with any of my favorite groups and I feel an added mix of horror, indignation, and curiosity. So when I heard about Blasphemous Rumours, a “live tribute to Depeche Mode,” appearing at the German House this past Saturday, I had to see what it was all about. The show started with three-piece opener Honey Pollution startling the backlit audience with tight first notes and a late 80’s-era Manchester beat. The cheerful bounce shifted to and from minor keys and wailing hard-rock guitar vibrato throughout the first song. The band continued such shifts, sometimes going a little space-jammy, sometimes a little Ben Foldsy, sometimes a little funky and bass-driven. The earnest 11-song set was at its best during the originals; sure, the crowd loves a Cure or Tears for Fears cover, but they weren’t nearly as interesting as Pollution’s own songs. I was shocked to learn that this was only the band’s second show. Blasphemous Rumours did not make us wait. True to the live album “Depeche Mode 101,” the band opened with “Pimpf.” The drama of this electronic instrumental was a good choice, heightening the audience’s suspense and

allowing us to get acclimated with the pleathered faux characterizations of DM members on either side of the stage. So we were ready when “Behind the Wheel” began and a close reproduction of DM’s Dave Gahan (in the form of Andy Singer) came out in full schtick. I say schtick because it wasn’t until this concert that I realized that Gahan is a true showman with so many signature moves. The sassy strut, the hammy hip shakes, the head nods, the hand claps, the ass slaps, and the open-arm poses of surrender — not to mention that smooth, controlled baritone and intermittent “yeahs” — were all meticulously recreated before us. So well crafted were these details that some of the feeling may have been lost during the slower “Stripped” and “Blasphemous Rumours,” where perhaps Singer didn’t allow himself to display his sincerity, disconnecting the crowd from the illusion. His lateral mic-stand twirls in the middle of “Blasphemous Rumours” made it all seem a little silly. I suppose it’s difficult to “get the balance right” between taking it too seriously and winking too hard, so the flaws were easily overlooked given the band’s earnest affection and obvious gratitude for DM.

Philo Beddoe’s right turn Philo Beddoe myspace.com/philobeddoeband [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

The success of bands that work in the Southern rock or Americana genres (the latter being the term often used to describe bands that play roots-rock but hail from outside Southern rock’s geography) is often measured by how well the group rides out the push and pull between rural strains and rock ’n’ roll. Philo Beddoe is made up of three veteran musicians from Rochester — guitarist/vocalist Todd Krasz; bassist Aaron Behr; and drummer Todd “Grimey” Groemminger — who have found a unique balance between the dirt and the asphalt. You could say the trio has made a right turn. It all centers around the lean and lanky Krasz’s vision and the tools he uses to make it heard. There doesn’t appear to be any inner conflict; the twang and crunch sides of his playing seem to cooperate, or at least they’re in a dead heat. And his rich baritone belies a man his size. Groemminger and Behr offer a seasoned and pliable neutrality rooted in country, hard and heavy rock, and just good ol’ rock ’n’ roll. There’s room to two-step and goose step. Philo Beddoe is pure American barroom music full of all sawdust, longnecks, and cheater slicks. An album is on the way when the band’s good and ready, and there’s plenty of live stuff to check out as soon as you are. 16 City OCTOBER 6-12, 2010

We sat down with the band before its set at Monty’s Krown last week. Here’s an edited transcript of what was discernable over the howl of the joint’s Saturday-night raconteurs, reprobates, roustabouts, and the jukebox. CITY: Give a little Philo Beddoe background. Todd Krasz: Me and Todd [Groemminger]

were playing in a band called Bee Eater… god, getting close to a decade ago. when I was ready to walk away and try something different. I had these songs and I wanted to start this band, Philo Beddoe. And eight years later I finally got these guys to do it. This is the band I’ve wanted to put together for a while. What were you setting out to do? Krasz: Have fun. I meant stylistically. Krasz: Cock rock. You’re not helping. Todd Groemminger: Country-fried cock rock. Krasz: I was playing around a lot trying to get

that Southern style of rock that I remember listening to so much when I was growing up, like Lynyrd Skynyrd. I’ve always been a big fan of [Georgia Satellites singer/guitarist] Dan Baird. It just sort of sprang from that. What so you suppose took you so long to discover your sound? Krasz: I’ve been trying to find my sound. It’s

taken me 15 years to figure out what I was really good at and what really fit me. I think

maybe my immaturity was holding me back. I still had some of that teen angst in me that is really just worthless as far as moving forward is concerned.

lurking below the surface that may not be readily apparent? Krasz: Elvis Costello, old Van Halen.

Now that you’ve found it, how does the band create it? Groemminger: Todd will come up with a riff

You have a lot of metal riffs in there, don’t you? Krasz: Oh, definitely. I always will. Behr: I think the stuff my dad used to make

and we’ll just build on it. I’ve been playing with him for a number of years now, so I can just read his ass. There are a couple songs we’ve written on stage. Krasz: While we’re playing live.

Between what you wanted from this band and what you’ve actually got, where are you? Krasz: I think it’s right there in the middle,

because we didn’t set out to do anything too specific. That first bunch of songs that Grimey and I were jamming on years ago, there were a couple that were straight-up honky-tonk-rock ’n’ roll songs, but still at the other end of the spectrum was this hard rock ’n’ roll. Aaron Behr: And when we’re doing stuff I have a tendency to pull it back more toward the rock, because that’s a little more my feel. And Grimey’s on both sides of the fence, and that balances Todd and me out. Groemminger: Aaron and I play in [metal cover band] Enter Eden, so we’ll metal it out a bit sometimes. But sometimes I’ll take Todd’s side and country it out. What’s the common thread? Groemminger: Just a good thick groove that

gets the girls out in front of the stage.

What are some Philo Beddoe influences

me listen to, like Steppenwolf and Hendrix and stuff like that. Groemminger: I’ll listen to the Black Crowes and then Meshuggah. What’s the driving force behind this band? Groemminger: I don’t think there’s anything

too deep about this band. We’re just three best friends who just like to play music together So when the friendship is over, so’s the band? Krasz: Oh yeah, oh yeah. Groemminger: Unless we’re on the road making

millions and have our own separate trailers.

What’s the recording situation at this point? Will this EP turn into an album? Krasz: This CD, we printed off like 30 of them

and we’re not going to make any more. We’re going to immediately start on something else. It’ll come out in our own time. Groeminger: I’m an engineer. I’ve got all the recording equipment. Aaron’s got a great mixing set-up in his basement. So I do all the recording in the field and then take it to Aaron’s place to mix it. Krasz: And then I tell them it’s all wrong.

POP | RPO: The Music of Ray Charles

The RPO opens its Pops season sweet and swingin’ with the music of Ray Charles, as played and sung by pianist Ellis Paul. I don’t suppose they’re going to do the “Mess Around,” although it would be pretty cool if they did. Besides being Brother Ray’s protégé, and working with a Who’s Who of jazz and pop, Paul has also served as lead singer of Tower Of Power and was one of the voices of the California Raisins (at least, that’s what I heard through the grapevine). Come early for a pre-concert chat with Charles’ son Ray Charles Robinson, Jr., who will read from and discuss his new book, “You Don’t Know Me.” The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra presents “The Music of Ray Charles” Friday and Saturday, October 8-9, 8 p.m. at Eastman Theatre’s Kodak Hall, 26 Gibbs St. $24$75. 454-2100, rpo.org. — BY FRANK DE BLASE Geneva. 800-3-GENEVA. 6:309 p.m. Free.

ROCK/HIP-HOP | We The Kings, J Cole

Rock group We The Kings struck gold with its single “Check Yes Juliet,” and went on to headline the 2009 edition of the Vans Warped Tour. The band is riding on the burgeoning radio success of the propulsive “Heaven Can Wait” while distancing itself from comparisons to other similar acts, like Plain White T’s and Boys Like Girls. Co-headliner J Cole’s rhymes and flow caught the ear of Jay-Z, and he became the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. Despite Cole’s youth, his talent has been quickly put on display, with a guest spot on Jay-Z’s “A Star is Born” track, as well on his first mix tape, titled “The Warm Up.” We The Kings and J Cole perform Friday, October 8, 8 p.m. at RIT’s Clark Gymnasium, Lomb Memorial Dr. $16$26. 475-7814. — BY TODD REZSNYAK Karaoke w/Karaoke King.

Also singing will be gospel legend Sandi Patty and “American Idol” contestant Mandisa. Programming runs all day both days.

METAL | Monsters of Annihilation Tour

It’s been a while since Papa Roach helped to forge numetal with its 2000 release, “Infest.” The band delivered rhythm-heavy tantrums that blended funky elements and rap, ushering in a new kind of heavy to metalheads looking for what’s next. More recently the band has incorporated more melody and song structures, thus edging into the alternative arena. Papa Roach headlines the Monsters of Annihilation Tour, which also features Skillet, Trapt, and My Darkest Days. The Monsters of Annihilation Tour comes to Rochester Tuesday, October 12, 6 p.m. at the Main Street Armory, 900 E Main St. $29.50-$32.50. 232-3221, rochestermainstreetarmory.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE [ Karaoke ] Karaoke.

with plenty of penis — it’s about time somebody evened the ratio of malefemale nudity in art. The artwork, like the identity, isn’t only about nudity and sexuality, but until our culture shifts its way of thinking about gays in strict terms of their bedroom activities, nudity and sexuality are logically going to be a focus.

[ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Jeffrey Young’s two mixed-media pieces,

Paint the town in rainbow colors! The “ImageArt” exhibition of locally based, multimedia art is gracing the walls of Visual Studies Workshop once more, concurrent with the ImageOut Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. The show always provides a look at an array of concerns, experiences, and interests of the individual artists, as well as LGBT community as a whole. Perhaps more than ever, gay artists and individuals now have a voice, and are able to share their unique experience as Americans and Rochesterians. But the celebration comes with a bittersweet tone, on the tail of several recent suicides by gay youth from across the country, showing us just how very far we still have to go toward shifting our cultural climate. On Friday, October 1, the “ImageArt” show opened at the Bookstore Gallery of Visual Studies Workshop, along with the first annual “Wish You Were Queer” postcard show and sale (a bit thin this year, but not bad for a start). The male presence is stronger in this year’s show compared to last year’s edition, 22 City october 6-12, 2010

“A’semblij No. 1 or Text Messaging” and “A’semblij No. 2 or Type Casting,” collage old pages of “Leave it to Beaver” books with added phrases and penises pasted to the pictures to stick it to the wholesome 1950’s. The story changes so that it concerns youths thinking and worrying about their bodies and sexuality, and exploring both. “Key Hibiscus” is a glossy inkjet print by Jeffrey Cougler, which reveals a sacredlike image of a huge, golden bloom in a vacuum-white background; from the center a nude man-stamen emerges. “Wrestlers” is a colored-pencil drawing by Eric Bellmann of two images: on the left, a grimacing wrestler doll, contrasted on the right with a masked nude as muscled as the doll, and posed stiffly as the doll, but with a calm expression. The piece is reminiscent of nude Roman gladiators, prepared to grapple. The same Roman theme is repeated in Bellmann’s elegantly rendered “Frieze,” another feathery colored-pencil drawing of a torso lineup, resembling a

row of nude men on a Roman wall. Both works, with their masked and headless elements, focus only on the beautiful bodies and erase specific identity. Portraits of local individuals include a

handsome close-up of “Adam” by the ubiquitous Gerry Szymanski, and Ove Overmyer’s digital portrait of “Kasha” (as in drag queen Kasha Davis) midperformance. Returning to obscurity and identity-play are Manuel Peña’s playful and mildly disturbing photographs, which include “Starling,” featuring a nude man with his business end tucked back, gracefully and coyly descending stairs seen through doorway. The work alludes to Buffalo Bill in “The Silence of the Lambs”; he wears a magazine-clipping mask of Jodie Foster’s face, with his own eyes and brows showing through. “Rock” (as in Hudson) shows the same man reclining on a couch, with a similar magazine-page over his face. I’ve been a fan of Alan Charlesworth’s characteristic portraits of bears for a few years now, and enjoy his focus on typically heavier men, with dignity and grace, often in classical poses. “Boatslip Poolside — Bear Week 2010,” is a view from above of a scene packed with tattooed, tanning bears enjoying their community. The sunny and cheerful scene, in a semi-public retreat, contrasts with Charlesworth’s other, more private piece “Gates & Punk — In Bed” of the two men reclining in bed, cozy in the

gentlest of embraces, with a Winnie the Pooh plush in the corner. Soft sea greens and pastels abound in both images, with clean lighting creating a paradise-like tone. Similarly, James Lewis’ acrylic-on-paper “Union Suit Afterglow” shows two men in bright red jumpsuits, unbuttoned down to their manhood, snuggled up post-action. In extreme contrast to these images is

Steve Lewis’ emotionally rendered “Lies,” a mixed-media work of emaciated figures, skeletons, grimaces and bubbling, hellish surroundings. We can all relate to Jonathan DeHaas’ “Boyfriends and Ghoulfriends,” a huge geometric digital illustration of two heads (man and monster) tipped toward one another, all full lips and sharp cheekbones, with perfectly spiked hair. Keith Smith’s digital prints “1954 Kaiser Manhattan” and “1935 Auburn Model 851 Phaeton Sedan” have spectrum backgrounds, with luscious-bunned nude men digitally superimposed on classic automobiles, expanding the babes-on-cars stereotype to include something for everyone. Open-minded viewers will look beyond the male-male pairings and find much common ground with these artists’ explorations of relationships, safe havens, and heartbreak. Perhaps in the future social constructs about gender, sexual, and racial identity will fade away, and the same-sex pairings won’t register as something particularly odd to anyone, at all.

THEATER | “Broken Images”

Resentment-based family conflict, a lust for fame, and cultural and individual identity crises are the tense themes tackled in “Broken Images” (formerly “A Heap of Broken Images”), penned by celebrated Indian playwright Girish Karnad. The play takes its name from T. S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland,” and refers to cultural disconnect, unstable existence, and communication disintegration. Geva Theatre Center’s Nextstage (75 Woodbury Blvd.) will welcome Kalidas, Rochester’s Indo-American community theater group, for a two-week run of the psychological thriller.

DANCE | “So You Think You Can Dance” Tour

Fox’s hit dance competition “So You Think You Can Dance” has had a couple tricky seasons, from the ill-considered fall season in 2009 to the injury-plagued, revamped version that aired this past summer. While both editions had some extremely frustrating moments for diehard fans of the show, they also featured some absolutely amazing dancers. And now’s your chance to see them live, as the “SYTYCD” tour comes to the Blue Cross Arena (1 War Memorial Square) next week. The weird changes to the show’s format have actually made this a fantastic tour for both serious “Dance” fans and casual dance aficionados. Instead of dancers from just once season, you get some of the best from the series’ history. “All-Star” dancers Allison (S2), Dominic (S3), Courtney (S4), Ade (S5), and Kathryn (S6) will be joined by S6 winner Russell and more than half of the contestants from Season 7, including Adechike, Ashley, Billy, Jose, Kent, Robert, and winner Lauren. If you’ve never watched the show, you need to know: these are brilliant young dancers performing incredible choreography in a variety of styles, from contemporary to hip-hop to ballroom to Broadway to Bollywood. The “So You Think You Can Dance” tour comes to Rochester Wednesday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $37.50-$55.

Shared burdens The Big Read: “The Things They Carried” By Tim O’Brien Through December 9 Many events at many venues. 473-2590, wab.org for information. [ PROFILE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Though the conflict ended decades ago, little closure has been gained for the soldiers, citizens, and countries involved in the Vietnam War. That’s the subject of this year’s The Big Read, an annual program of the National Endowment of the Arts that is overseen locally by Writers & Books. The city-wide programming includes dozens of group discussions and special events centered around a particularly pivotal work of literature, with a visit by the author toward the end of the Big Read calendar. This year, Vietnam vet and author Tim O’Brien’s crushingly real and poetically penned “The Things They Carried” is the selection. “Not only is ‘The Things They Carried’ a beautifully written book that uses numerous interesting literary and narrative devices, it tackles a difficult subject with authenticity,” says Karen vanMeenan, director of special projects at Writers & Books. The book remains relevant to our culture, especially as “the U.S. is again 28 City october 6-12, 2010

sending young people into violent conflict in other parts of the world,” VanMeenan says. “As Santayana said, ‘Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.’” It is crucial that we bear often horrific witness in the pursuit of the truth about our world and the genuine effects of our actions within it. We cannot begin to live morally without first taking on the burden of actively seeing what is. With the book, O’Brien’s goal as a storyteller was to immerse people into “what it feels like to kill someone, or to watch a friend die, or to sink away into the muck of a shitfield,” said the author in a recent phone interview. “The Things They Carried” provides an unflinching look at Vietnam from the prism-like perspective of O’Brien — who served in the war from 1969 to 1970 — and other members of his company, in an efforts to understand a wider reality of the complicated events of the conflict. “I’m not sure you can ever pin down truth,” O’Brien says, “but you can kind of circle it, bracket it.” O’Brien’s work serves as an antithesis to war-

glory propaganda, placing readers inside the heads of “human beings that are caught up in this history,” the author says, allowing them to experience “the moral complexity of it all […] and the stresses and tensions that puts on the human psyche.” This is especially evident in “On the Rainy River,” O’Brien’s wrenching story of being freshly drafted and battling

between what was expected of him and his own moral compass. He conveys with irony that he chose the cowardly path by not dodging: “And right then I submitted,” he wrote. “I would go to the war — I would kill people and maybe die — because I was embarrassed not to.” A good portion of the programming of this year’s Big Read connects Vietnam vets and vets from all wars with the Rochester community. “There were probably as many wars in Vietnam as there were soldiers, that’s how complex it is,” O’Brien says. He hopes his work will help dispel some of the myths about war: moments of heroism and gallantry and honorable behavior happened, he says, “in a context of horror and a context of evil […] and the problem is on Fourth of July and Veterans Day only the clean stuff is looked at, never the dirty stuff.” O’Brien sees similarities between the Vietnam War and the current wars America is waging in the Middle East “in their absence of uniform popularity,” he says, and in the lack of clear goals, or a definition of victory. “We kind of know the platitudes: stability, democracy, and that sort of thing. But what is stability and what is democracy? What if a country doesn’t want democracy? What if they want a theocracy instead? Are we supposed to say you have to have it anyway?” he asks. The United States relies on euphemism and

rhetoric, O’Brien says; we have switched the catchphrase from “stop the communists” to “stop the terrorists,” without thinking too deeply about the people we’re fighting. “Americans have a hard time with that. We don’t want to understand anything about our enemies,” says O’Brien, who is frustrated by what he calls the “colossal, mind-boggling ignorance” that we exhibit while acting in ways that make the situation worse. By causing the deaths of non-combatant “casualties,” we incite those who “may have been indifferent at the start, but they’re not indifferent anymore, they’re against you,” he says. “They had nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with terrorism, but you just killed their kid. Or, blew his leg off.” While O’Brien does not consider himself a pacifist, he believes we should think more clearly our goals and our means to those ends. One heartening story about a reader connecting with “The Things They Carried” came in the form of heartbreaking a letter from a 26-year-old woman from O’Brien’s home state of Minnesota. She had read his book and gave it to her violently feuding parents. A Vietnam vet, her father was unable to open up to his family, “and it had been eating at him,” O’Brien says. But the book got the family talking. “That letter means a lot to me,” O’Brien says, “because it’s what I wanted to do when I began writing fiction, not to do the political stuff that I was just talking about a minute ago, but rather to talk about human lives.”

RECREATION | Tree Tours

Few things make me feel more alive than the earthy scent of decaying leaves aloft on chilly air, before the frost puts the scents of nature to rest for the winter. You can enjoy the pretty death-throe show of perfume-y leaves and learn the names of the trees as they dwindle toward dormancy on one of a few upcoming fall hikes. Think Highland Park is just a backdrop for the lilacs? A little autumnal glory among those soaring trees will change your mind. On Saturday, October 9, the Highland Park Conservancy will host a free tree tour of the park (120 Highland Ave), led by one of the horticulturalists of the Monroe County Parks Department. Meet in front of Lamberton Conservatory at 9 a.m. and wear your walking shoes. Call 244-8709 or email dlhampton@frontiernet.net for info. Or visit the Thousand Acre Swamp Sanctuary (1581 Jackson Road, Penfield) at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 9, for “Brush Hour” with Frank Crombe and Rick Iuli, who will add to your knowledge of trees and shrubs while you enjoy the shifting leaves. Call 425-9561 for more information about this hike. If you want to learn more about the swamp itself, check out “The History of the Thousand Acre Swamp” on Sunday, October 10, 2:30-4 p.m., at Penfield Public Library (1985 Baird Rd). John Bundschuh and Sue Pixley will provide info on the history, and take guests on a short trip to the swamp. The lecture and tour are free, but call 240-8720 or visit penfieldlibrary.org to register. And don’t miss the special hike on Friday, October 15, at 6 p.m., when you can view “Jupiter Over the Swamp” — the big gassy giant is currently closest to Earth than it’s been since 1951, and won’t be this close again until 2022.

SPECIAL EVENT | Rochester River Romance

If the autumn backdrop is putting you in the mood for a weekend vacation, think twice before packing your bags. Instead you can enjoy a stay-cation this weekend and join the community as it celebrates the beauty of the Genesee River during Rochester River Romance. Rejoice in the river that helped found our city — after all, Rochester wouldn’t be what it is today had the river not supplied the Flour City with power and transportation back in the 1800’s. Taste beers from Genesee Brewing Co. paired with seasonal food, snap a few pictures of the family on the Photo Hike/Walk Tour along the river banks, reel in a big catch at the salmon run, renew your vows overlooking High Falls on the Pont de Rennes Bridge, take a dinner cruise, enjoy some concerts, and climb to the top of a vintage 1822 lighthouse. With more than 40 events planned, there’s bound to be something that’ll tickle your fancy. Events begin Friday, October 8, and run through Sunday, October 10.

SPORTS | Karate Championship

For some, karate is a way to build and maintain physical strength or learn self-defense techniques, but to others, karate can become a way of life. This weekend, participants will show off their commitment to the obedient practice at the 20th Annual Kyokushin American International Karate Championship. Kyokushin translates to “ultimate truth” in Japanese, and the event is so named because the form of karate is rooted in a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline and hard training. The full-contact knockdown matches will be conducted in the traditional Japanese fighting style with no protective pads or gloves, and will feature some of the finest bare-knuckle, barefoot fighters from Canada, Europe, and the United States. Kyokushin Karate Fitness USA will host the event at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center (123 E Main St.) starting at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 9. Spectator tickets can be purchased before the event or at the door, and cost $5-$15. The event is open to all ranks and styles of karate. For more information call 663-7680 or visit uskyokushin.com. — BY CAITLIN SHAPIRO Various times; check the website. $85, $45 for full-time students. Keynote speaker Charles Haynes.

Lost in cyberspace [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“The Social Network” (PG-13), directed by David Fincher Now playing

A movie about the invention of an internet communication device hardly promises anything like exciting cinema, but “The Social Network” succeeds in making computers and the geeks who master them an entirely fascinating subject. In addition, since it deals with the activities of a number of well known people and events that in a sense happened only yesterday, the film exhibits a most uncommon contemporaneity. Although not quite a documentary, the picture fictionalizes

a compelling story based on what we usually think of as real life. “The Social Network” chronicles the cyberspace adventures of the brilliant young computer wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), who embarked on his profession as an undergraduate at Harvard. It opens with a scene between him and his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara), which establishes him as one of the most obnoxious students at that prestigious institution, arrogant, self centered, utterly indifferent to the thoughts and feelings of anyone else. He lectures her in an irritating monotone, jumping from subject to subject, and insulting her without even realizing it; when she understandably dumps him, he returns to his room and writes some mean remarks about her on his blog, which actually sparks his remarkable career. His blogging leads him to investigate the possibility of finding out and publishing on the undergraduate web the pictures of all the females at Harvard, accompanied by information about them, inviting

students to choose the most attractive women. He hacks into the various dormitory computers, obtains most of the material he needs, and with the help of his friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), begins the process of sharing the data with the whole campus. Although his initial success infuriates the female undergraduates and lands him in some academic trouble, Zuckerberg attracts the attention of the wealthy Winklevoss twins, who row for the Harvard crew and belong to Porcellian, the snootiest of all the snooty Harvard clubs. They ask him to apply his talents to their idea to build a sort of exclusive dating site, a plan that he more or less steals and turns into his own social network, which ultimately becomes Facebook. The picture tells most of that story through a multitude of flashbacks, drawn from the testimony at a legal hearing dealing with a lawsuit brought by the twins, charging Zuckerberg with theft of intellectual property. That hearing takes place after Zuckerberg’s invention has achieved its virtually universal success and earned him an immense amount of money — the movie notes that he is the youngest billionaire in the world. As the plaintiffs, including Saverin, who wrote the initial algorithm that enabled Zuckerberg to implement the initial program, recount their experiences, the film unfolds its retrospective narrative, a fascinating story of manipulation and personal treachery.

Do you really want to hurt me? [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Let Me In” (R), written and directed by Matt Reeves Now playing

The great appeal of “The Social Network” derives not from its depiction of a bunch of computer wizards writing programs and exploring the vast mysteries of cyberspace, but from the flawed character of its major figures. Jesse Eisenberg plays Zuckerberg with terrific conviction as someone with Asperger’s Syndrome, an absolutely literal-minded genius with no social skills, little interest in other people, no comprehension of normal emotional life, a young man coldly capable of betraying his only friend, Eduardo Saverin. Saverin, in fact, emerges as the only really decent person in the whole group, who works diligently to help his friend only to fall victim to the schemes of Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), the notorious inventor of the music-sharing program Napster, who goads Zuckerberg to settle some of his own old scores and to dump his early collaborator. Timberlake plays a kind of Mephistopheles to Eisenberg’s Faust, the grinning instigator of Zuckerberg’s most contemptible actions. A nasty little subtext about the snobbishness of Harvard itself lurks beneath the surface of all the scheming, Saverin’s and Zuckerberg’s awareness that as Jews they can only dream of acceptance into the elite realm of the Porcellian Club, for generations an exclusive WASP enclave. Saverin even believes that part of his friend’s betrayal originates in the fact that another club, Phoenix, invited him to join. Beyond the surprisingly compelling story of the founding of Facebook, the movie courageously suggests some equally surprising criticism of Harvard and its students.

You know, vampires used to seem ultracool, an intriguing dichotomy of elegance and savagery, but a current pop-culture glut has sucked the mystique right out of them. Today’s vampires fall in love, drive cars, even have consciences; in short, they’re mortals — unfairly attractive ones, always — without the burden of mortality. And now we’re supposed to care about their sexy undead problems? Boo hoo. That might be why 2008’s “Let the Right One In” felt so fresh; the stunning Swedish import told of the friendship between two lonely souls, one a bully magnet and the other eternally cursed with tween-dom. It explored the isolation attendant to both circumstances without resorting to the boring clichés too many storytellers have lately fallen back on. Truth be told, a remake of “Let the Right One In” was hardly necessary, but this is America, where (a) some people don’t like to read movies; and (b) other people like to make money off

of that fact. Luckily, filmmaker Matt Reeves (he also brought us 2008’s nifty “Cloverfield”) attended the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” school of thinking, and his version, called “Let Me In,” shows proper reverence for the original, staying quite faithful to the intentions of novelist/screenwriter John Ajvide Lindqvist. Where Reeves stakes his own creative claim is in the vibe; he’s actually made a warmer, more resonant film, one whose emotional payoff just might surpass that of the original. Reeves transplants the narrative from an icy Stockholm suburb to the equally wintry Los Alamos, New Mexico; it’s March 1983, and 12-year-old Owen (Australia’s Kodi Smit-McPhee, “The Road”), with his flying-saucer eyes and unfortunate haircut, looks like the right kind of kid to invite the wrong kind of attention. Owen seems to spend most of his time avoiding his troubled mother, playing out stabby revenge fantasies in his bedroom, or indulging in Now-andLaters on a nearby jungle gym. One evening Owen meets the strange Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz, “Kick-Ass”), who goes barefoot in the snow and has never seen a Rubik’s Cube. Abby is also 12 (“More or less,” she clarifies), and though she immediately announces that they can’t be friends, it’s obvious that they’re both longing for companionship. As Owen and Abby bond in their mutual solitude, “Let Me In” also unfolds in the form of a police procedural, as a cop (Canadian character actor Elias Koteas) investigates the escalating body count in their remote town. We, of course, know the murders have everything to do with Abby; she travels with a melancholy middle-aged man (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins) devoted to her and her dietary needs. “Let Me In” hints more strongly at a pedophiliac bent to the man’s loyalty

than its Swedish predecessor did, giving some clarity to his jealousy of Owen, who is utterly smitten with this not-technicallya-girl. Abby empowers Owen to retaliate against his tormentors, and when he’s literally in over his head, Reeves nearly duplicates the original film’s money shot, knowing better than to tinker with such a gory, glorious interlude. But, yeah, there are changes; “Let Me In” wisely ditches the dissonant tangent involving the father and his creepy friend, though Reeves’ choice to monsterify Abby’s feeding frenzies with clunky special effects is disappointing yet so very American. (And anyone excited to see the cat-attack scene again is out of luck.) Reeves makes effective use of Reagan-era music to evoke a time when Culture Club and The Vapors ruled the radio landscape, especially in the film’s most thrilling set piece, set to Blue Oyster Cult’s “Burnin’ For You.” The implications of the song’s title don’t become clear until the end of the suspenseful scene, in which Abby’s weary caretaker botches another job, culminating in one of the most whiteknuckle POV shots you’ve seen in ages. Now, I still have a soft spot for Lina Leandersson’s dusky calm as the vampire Eli, but Moretz’s Abby exudes a lost, fragile quality that Eli didn’t, one that seems appropriate for someone whose mind has evolved but whose body won’t. And Smit-McPhee is touching as Owen, his androgynous doll face rippling from worry to joy at even the slightest kindness. With his home life in the upheaval of divorce and school carrying the perpetual threat of atomic wedgies or worse, it’s no wonder that Owen gravitates toward Abby, then stays even knowing her true nature. And the unnerving but beautifully filmed moment that he decides to abandon his humanity for her hits hard.

The Bausch Estate

1075 St. Paul Street Visitors to Rochester often are flabbergasted by the affordability of spectacular older houses that in their cities would cost up to ten times as much. These folks are further floored when they learn there’s no quality of life tradeoff for this affordability. A particularly stellar example of this Rochester livability-affordability combo is the astounding 106 year-old Bausch house at 1075 St. Paul Street. Yes, Bausch as in Bausch and Lomb. John Jacob Bausch was founder and President right up until his death in 1926 at age 95. Although now configured as a three-family, the house still exudes quality and opulence—and the configuration offers the owner the choice of a single or multi-family. The house’s earth-tone brick and slate roof speak beauty and durability. Beyond the covered, tiled front porch and mosaic-tiled vestibule is the main unit, which gleams with gorgeous woodwork—trim, wainscoting, parquet floors, and a staircase that will lower your jaw. The large living room feels cozy thanks to the golden woodwork that surrounds. To the left is another sizable room with a fireplace and a ‘wedding cake’ ceiling; to the right is a smaller room—now used as a bedroom—that Bausch used for card games. A fan and vent at ceiling level worked together to expel the clouds of cigar smoke generated there. The main unit’s kitchen is an inviting combination of period (glass front cabinetry, white wall tiling) and modern (newer counters and appliances). Off the kitchen is a full bath full of period fixtures, and a covered back porch.

Whether the house is used as a single or three-family, there are ample numbers and sizes of well-preserved and updated bedrooms: up to six if used as a single family; if a three-family, the main unit would have up to four bedrooms, and each of the apartments one generous bedroom each. One apartment opens to a spacious back balcony; the other offers a smaller balcony and a smaller, galley kitchen but includes a fireplace. The huge attic offers Genesee River views from a dormer window. The versatile basement is partially finished and features a wine/canning cellar with original cabinetry. The 0.73 acre lot includes gardens, a gazebo, and a handsome outbuilding with space for two cars and a workshop. Even this working space speaks to Bausch’s wealth and the caliber of the craftsmanship: the entire interior is covered with beautiful dark paneling, even on the ceiling. This remarkable property is made even more so by backing up onto the four-season wonders of the scenic, unique Genesee River Gorge and the Genesee Riverway Trail. You can make this piece of Rochester history yours for $165,000. For more information, call agent Richard Orczyk of Hunt ERA at 585-5097820 or go to http://rochestercityliving.com/ property/R121852.

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Ingrid Paulicivic filed a lawsuit in September against Laguna Beach, California, gynecologist Red Alinsod over leg burns she bafflingly acquired during her 2009 hysterectomy — a procedure that was topped off by the doctor’s nearly gratuitous name-”branding” of her uterus with his electrocautery tool. Dr. Alinsod explained that he carved “Ingrid” in inch-high letters on the organ only after he had removed it and that such labeling helps in the event a woman requests the return of the uterus as a souvenir. He called the branding just a “friendly gesture” and said he did not know how the burns on Paulicivic’s leg occurred.

Cultural Diversity — BBC News reported in August that government officials in southern Sudan had unveiled a $10 billion plan that would rebuild the area’s major cities (heavily damaged during the ongoing civil war) “in the shapes of animals and fruit.” New blueprints for one state capital, Juba, show its boundaries in the shape of a rhinoceros, and for another capital, Wau, a giraffe, and for the town of Yambio, the outline of a pineapple. (Such municipal planning might appear quixotic, especially in view of Sudan’s wartime chaos, but investors can hardly ignore a country that sits on rich oil deposits.) — Spousal violence continues to plague India, especially in lower-income areas of Uttar Pradesh state, but four years ago, Ms. Sampat Pal Devi, then 36, formed a vigilante group of females to fight back and has made notable progress, according to a July report on Slate.com. Members

of Pal’s group (“gulabis” -- literally, “gangs for justice”) travel in numbers, wearing “hot pink” saris and carrying bamboo sticks, and try to reason with abusive husbands to improve their behavior. Originally, Pal imagined a temporary team, in place until women acquired greater electoral power, but the experience in Uttar Pradesh has been disheartening in that, often, the women elected as officials have been just as corruptible and male-centered as the men they replaced. — U.S. and NATO forces in southern Afghanistan have reported feelings of revulsion at the number and ostentatiousness of local Pashtun men who publicly flaunt the 9- to 15-year-old boys that they’ve acquired as lovers. The boys dress (and use makeup) like girls, dance, hold the men’s hands, and show off in front of others of their age. According to an August San Francisco Chronicle dispatch from Kandahar, locals explain the practice as partly regional tradition and partly a response to Islamic and tribal customs that make young females off-limits to men until marriage (Local saying: “Women are for children; boys are for pleasure”). (The more fundamentalist Pashtun also point out that boys are “cleaner,” in that they never menstruate.) — A 1997 election law in Brazil makes it illegal to “degrade or ridicule” political candidates or their parties, making that country’s election season not nearly as lively as the U.S.’s. However, in August, one week after a protest in Rio de Janeiro by Brazilian comedians, the vice president of the Supreme Court acquiesced and suspended the law as unconstitutional.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 41 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll fall out of love as quickly as you fall in love. Don’t misinterpret what you feel for someone. Jealousy will be the enemy. It’s best to back away from anyone who makes you feel bad or who doesn’t treat you with respect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Chemistry is likely to take over, leaving you few alternatives. Giving in too quickly to what someone wants from you will end in an emotional mess. Let your friendship build before you become intimately involved.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have a right to change your mind and to have fun, but don’t lead someone on while you flirt with someone else. Fickleness will be seen as an inability to make up your mind and will label you as someone who isn’t marriage material. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need to change the way you look at relationships before you get involved with someone who wants to control you mentally, physically and financially. Surprise everyone by taking the first step toward living by your own rules.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep things simple, aboveboard and mellow. Aggressive action can be expected if you hook up with someone who is overly possessive or jealous of your friendly demeanor. Don’t put up with restrictions. Move on if someone is overbearing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve got everything going for you when it comes to romance. Make your move, talk about your feelings and intentions and, most of all, ready yourself to make a commitment. Playful passion and plans for two will seal the deal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Dissatisfaction with someone or a lack of opportunity in the romance department is apparent. You are going through a make it or break it period and must not waste time with someone who doesn’t live up to the high standards you set. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Set the stage for romance and you will mesmerize the person to whom you feel the greatest attraction. It’s your passionate body language that will speak volumes about who you are and what qualities you want from a partner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Play it safe when it comes to love or you’ll end up in a sticky and costly situation. An unexpected change of heart may leave you in a precarious place. Avoid an involvement with anyone who can jeopardize your position. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Question motives before you get involved with someone from a different income bracket. One of you may be in love with the possessions and status, not the person. Honesty will be required if you don’t want to make a mistake.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A long-distance romance will have its ups and downs. You may want to think twice before you fall for someone who can only offer you part time love. Either make a move that will bring you closer together or plan to move on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Passion plus. Someone you want to be with all the time will want to make a commitment. Sort out whatever responsibilities you both have so that you can move forward to achieve what you both ultimately want out of a loving relationship.
