We nailed it
I just picked up your edition for this week (“Our Anti-Inaugural,” January 18). I want to thank you for the cover. Without any intended hyperbole, I want to say it is brave and brilliant. Hopefully, it inspires any press fearful of speaking in opposition to have faith that good comes to those who persist. I will be framing this so my children grow up with the constant reminder of how important our democracy is — free speech, activism, and collectivism... confident resistance. HANNAH DEL MURPHY

I would love to see the Strong National Museum of Play operate the former Midtown monorail as part of its expansion plan or existing installations. The monorail was a one-of-a-kind treasure that brought joy to many Rochesterians. To think of it rusting in a warehouse (even with a lively Twitter account) is very sad, and seems a waste. Surely it deserves to be preserved and enjoyed by generations to come. SHANNON EALY
Fascism can happen here
In response to Mary Anna Towler’s article of January 11(“Democracy is fragile: learning from history”): What a well-researched and insightful article about the similarities between the Trump election results and fascism! I will add one more thing: The biggest problem is that so many Americans do not see through it all. I am glad that there are writers who are putting the word out. However, will Americans recognize and handle what may be coming up in the future? Too many hold the notion that it can’t happen to us. Well, it did happen to a number of countries in the past.
Furthermore, I am amazed at the way our government officials have allowed Trump to get away with what he has gotten away with already. Our democratic style has caused a passivity that can hurt us at the end! MARIE NIGHTENGALE
Empty culture needs connection
Almost everyone I’ve talked with since November is deeply uneasy about our future as a nation, as a people, and as a society of individuals. Many of us are looking for effective ways to move forward, toward securing democracy and overcoming the disparities and antagonisms that divide our country. Along these lines, I found CITY’s last two editorials — on the economic struggles that led some voters to vote for change at any cost and on the fragility of American democracy — insightful and important. Analyses are easier than solutions, but awareness is a good place to start. As several commentators have pointed out, this has been the silver lining of the Trump “victory”: a rekindling of civic spirit, a deeper understanding of our divisions, and an enlargement of the scope of concern for those left behind in America’s model of success pre-Trump. Who knows if we will get a chance to build meaningfully on this upsurge in consciousness, but we can try. CITY also recently had a feature on heroin addiction. The degree of emptiness and despair driving our epidemic of substance abuse and overdosing might also explain some of the collective rage that Trump rode to power. Similarly, he’s likely to be just another fast fix that leads to more emptiness and devastation in the body politic. Handwringing is not very useful right now, and heightened sensitivity to others can only go so far if one of the threats facing American civil society is a president who aspires to authoritarian dictatorship. But it’s still vital to reach out and interact with others of all sorts; the more different from oneself and the more genuinely one reaches, the better. Connecting with like-minded souls is great for support and
organizing, but connecting with those outside your comfort zone can lead to surprising bonds and unexpectedly renew life’s sense of meaning. Of course, people will not always want to reach back and may even want to hit back, but that’s up to them. And what of our culture more generally? Shallow, fragmented, increasingly virtual, corporatemanaged, consumption-oriented, addicted to sensation, with people defining identity by what they buy and which celebrities they like, etc. We’re all a part of this in some way. We might consider how such a culture contributes to a general emptiness, to being distracted and out of touch with each other, and how such a culture eventually deals us a Trump for president. I don’t underestimate how bad things could get. Trump’s presidency might become a time when standing up for democratic principles and human dignity requires great courage. For certain segments of our society, it has already been that way for a long time. Meanwhile, we can still work on changing ourselves and on the culture we create. Part of the solution must be in organizing, but an equally powerful portion must be the cultivation and practice of values that run counter to those of the prevailing culture: interacting with the world and with others in ways that are more personal, genuine, challenging, but also more fulfilling. It will take more active engagement to integrate our deepest values effectively into the social fabric and to keep the American experiment, the world as we know it, viable. JIM MOTT
How to keep millennials
If we can continue to invest in getting the high-tech jobs here, the college students would stay rather than move to the bigger cities. Having a vital downtown with unique housing rentals and walkable and unique retail and restaurant areas available will be what makes us attractive to those young people. The cost of living here and the commute times are relatively low. SHARI CRETELLE MCVAY

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
For the next four years: watch, protest, and heal Well, it has begun. Donald Trump is now president, the leader of the United States and the face we present to the rest of the world. At the moment, he is leading a deeply divided country. And the face he is presenting – to us and to the world – is one of anger, hostility, narcissism, arrogance, and divisiveness. That face was on full display in his inaugural address on Friday. And it was on display again on Saturday, when he spoke at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Meanwhile, protests against him – many of them massive – were taking place around the world, filling streets and parks and plazas not only in Washington, the initial focus of the Women’s March, but also in Rochester, in San Francisco, in Chicago, in Seattle, in Atlanta, in Memphis, in Paris, in Prague, in Amsterdam, in Bangkok, in Dublin, in Tel Aviv, in Nairobi, in Rome, in Athens, in Cape Town, in Stockholm, in London. (A sign in Florence, Italy: “Make America Think Again.” A little girl’s message in Barcelona, Spain: “Make America Kind Again.”) We’re in a strange moment right now, still suspended between the old administration and the dramatically different, volatile new one, as Trump and Republican leaders settle into their new responsibilities, Trump’s supporters wind down their celebration, and the rest of us work through our fears and our anguish. “Working through” won’t be easy, given the stupefying nature of some of what we’re witnessing. (What are we to think when a key presidential adviser defends the White House press secretary’s clearly erroneous statements by saying the press secretary “gave alternative facts”?) This moment of suspension will pass, though. Whether we’ve been celebrating or mourning Trump’s move into the White House, our thoughts about the inauguration will get pushed back in memory as the business of our own personal lives takes over. But as that happens, those of us concerned about where the country is headed need to pledge to do three things: remain watchful, protest when protests are needed, and find ways to help the country heal. Saturday’s marches cannot be a one-time event. Protests – many of them resulting in physical harm to the participants – have brought human-rights progress, in the United States, in South Africa, in India.

Each of us has to take responsibility for change. Saturday’s marches have to be the beginning, not the end.” And as civil rights leaders have continued to remind us, we can’t wait for another Martin Luther King Jr., another Nelson Mandela, another Mahatma Gandhi to bring about change. Each of us has to take responsibility for change. Saturday’s marches have to be the beginning, not the end. And we have to start healing. That will be hard, and any hope that Donald Trump would lead in the healing vanished in his inaugural speech. We will all have to help pull the nation together. Given our growing diversity and the depth of our divisions, I suspect that we will never be really whole. Some of those divisions may be insurmountable. But this country has gone through periods of raw, open division before. And we have survived. We’ve got to be better than this. The health of the country and our standing in the world depend on it. Two years before he became president of a fiercely divided nation, Abraham Lincoln worried about the dangers of our division. In a speech launching his campaign for a US Senate seat – a campaign he lost – he warned that “a house divided against itself can not stand.” Lincoln’s warning is relevant today. And as Barack Obama’s election in 2008, his re-election in 2012, and his popularity now show, regardless of our divisions, we can find our better nature. We’ll need spokespeople and leaders for our healing, to be sure, but as with the protests, we can’t wait for the next King or Mandela or Gandhi. Saturday’s protests provided proof that the will to change exists. Now the hard work has to begin. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Cuomo seeks restart on START-UP
Tucked into Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposed budget is a plan to overhaul the controversial START-UP New York program. The program would be open only to true start-ups, but those companies would face looser job-creation requirements. START-UP allows new or growing companies to operate tax-free for 10 years, as long as they locate in space owned by SUNY schools or select private colleges and universities.

Shells spell distress
State moves to guard reproductive health coverage
Much of the sand at Ontario Beach is currently covered in grey and white shells. They’re everywhere; it’s like walking on a carpet of walnuts. The shells are from dead zebra mussels, an invasive species that first appeared in Lake Ontario in the late 1980’s. (Some are also, more than likely, shells from the similar quagga mussel.) They aren’t just a Rochester problem; similar piles of shells have washed up on the lake’s beaches in other parts of the state. Rob Williams, invasive species program coordinator of The Nature
In the face of federal attacks on reproductive health services, the Cuomo administration is advancing state regulations requiring insurers to cover services such as contraception and medically-necessary abortions. The regulations, which go into effect in 60 days, require insurers to cover at least one form of contraception from several categories without any patient co-pays, co-insurance, or deductible.
Conservancy of Central and Western New York, recalls visiting a beach adjacent to his organization’s El Dorado preserve, which is located near the mouth of the Thousand Islands, and finding a layer of shells at least a foot deep. The shell carpets should serve as a reminder that the mussels, which can disrupt fragile food webs, are a serious threat to the lake and that people shouldn’t be complacent, Williams says. Zebra mussels are established in Lake Ontario and several other freshwater systems across the state,
but they haven’t made their way into all water bodies. The best way to protect those waters is prevention — a fact that government agencies and environmental agencies have stressed for many years. For example, boat owners should inspect their vessels and trailers when they pull them out of the water, clean them off, and let them dry for a week or more before using them in a different water body. Once an invasive species gets established, it’s tough to eliminate them and the focus generally turns to preventing the spread of that species.

ACTIVISM | BY KEVIN FULLER & CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Many city school teachers would like to talk with their students about racism, but feel they lack the capacity or the tools. And some are apprehensive because they lack the authority; a colleague or administrator may think that the topic is out of that teacher’s area of instruction.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Opening the door to talk about race Talking about racism is one of the most difficult things for many people to do, regardless of their race, says LoWan Brown, one of the founding organizers of the local Black Lives Matter At School initiative. But the need for more open dialogue couldn’t be greater, she says. Brown is also an assistant principal at Joseph C. Wilson Foundation Academy in the Rochester City School District. The initiative, which encompasses a wide range of activities to help city school teachers, principals, and students raise awareness and engage in more open conversations about racism, has the full support of the Rochester Teachers Association. The Rochester school board is expected to vote on a resolution to support the effort this week. And an official day of engagement and kick-off event is planned for Friday, February 17. Students want to talk about racism, but often don’t have the opportunity, Brown says. “They tend to see racial inequality and violence, especially against black males, and draw their own conclusions — sometimes the wrong ones,” she says. One student recently asked, “Why do they [white people] hate us?” Brown says.
The challenge is to bridge the communications gap between students and teachers considering that most students in the city school district are children of color — primarily black and Latino — and most teachers are white, female, and live in the suburbs. Their life experiences seldom overlap. Many city school teachers would like to talk with their students about racism, but feel they lack the capacity or the tools, Brown says. And some are apprehensive about discussing racism because they lack the authority; a colleague or administrator may think that the topic is out of that teacher’s area of instruction, she says. A resolution would give teachers confidence to discuss racism more openly, Brown says. Chris Widmaier, another early member of Black Lives Matter At School, says that he was inspired when World of Inquiry’s soccer team joined many athletes around the country last year and kneeled during the national anthem. That’s when he decided to become engaged, he says. Though Black Lives Matter At School is not affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, it came about through the organizing committee’s conversations about

BLM and what it means to people of color and the broader society. There are many ways for teachers and principals to get involved in the effort, from wearing T-shirts to planning activities such as book discussions, field study, and guest speakers. Involvement is voluntary. The February 17 event is just the first step, Brown says. Black Lives Matter At School also hopes to offer professional development workshops, training, and other events, Brown says. More information: blacklivesmatteratschool.org.
Trump inspires global defiance Around 2,000 people gathered in downtown Rochester’s Washington Square Park on Saturday for the People’s Solidarity Rally. Rochester’s event was part of an unprecedented show of global opposition to the administration of President Donald Trump. Locally, a string of speakers including Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, State Assembly Member Harry Bronson, Rochester NOW President Jaclyn Richard, and other community organization leaders advocated for citizens to stay politically engaged and to stand in unity for justice and rights for all people. The event was organized by Action Together Rochester and Stronger Together WNY, with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York Action Fund, Gay Alliance, Metro Justice, NOW, and the Urban League. Nationally, more than a million people participated in rallies in all 50 states, according to the New York Times. In New York City, the number of participants was estimated to be about 400,000.

Nuclear subsidies: bailout or rescue?
FILE PHOTO
Not too long ago, Upstate New York’s three nuclear power plants were on the verge of shutting down. They simply could no longer sell their electricity for enough to cover the cost of generating it. This April, however, electricity consumers in New York will begin paying to keep those plants online while New York makes an aggressive push to boost renewable energy production. The plan, which is part of the state’s new Clean Energy Standard, spans 12 years and will cost state electricity consumers at least $7 billion. For the average household with Rochester Gas and Electric service, the subsidy charge will be roughly $30 a year for the first five years of the plan, according to estimates from the Public Utility Law Project of New York, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization. Whether this plan is a rescue of necessary power sources or a galling corporate bailout is largely a matter of perspective. But it is safe to say that the subsidy program is controversial. The state faces a couple of lawsuits over the plan. Some fossil fuel plant owners are suing the state in federal court, arguing that subsidy plans interfere with New York’s competitive electricity marketplace. And last week, a coalition of statewide groups
and Hudson Valley region organizations, residents, and government officials filed a lawsuit in Albany County Supreme Court. Their complaint touches on consumer rights, energy market, environmental, and procedural issues. Also, several state environmental and public interest groups have launched the Stop the Cuomo Tax campaign. They want to build public pressure for Governor Andrew Cuomo, who pushed for the Clean Energy Standard, to reverse course on the nuclear subsidies. “We can’t have the sort of socialization of risk, where the public takes on all the economic risk for private corporations, but then they get all of the profit when times are good,” says Jessica Azulay, program director at Alliance for a Green Economy, a renewables advocacy group that wants the state to phase out nuclear power. The plan’s supporters, however, stress its economic and employment benefits, as well as its role in cleaning up New York’s energy grid and maintaining reliable electrical service.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 97 reiterated its support for the plan in comments sent in November to state utility regulators. The plan recognizes “the cost-effective, zero-carbon attributes of New York’s nuclear power generators,” the submission says. A group of 172 elected officials in Wayne, Oswego, and Jefferson counties also wrote regulators to show their support. The three nuclear facilities in or near their communities — Ginna, Nine Mile Point, and FitzPatrick, respectively — provide many jobs and generate substantial tax revenue, the officials say. Exelon, the company that owns Ginna in Wayne County and Nine Mile Point in the Oswego area, employs 1,400 people between the two plants. The plants have a $266 million payroll and pay $47 million in local taxes. But the arguments around New York’s nuclear plants do have one thing in common: all sides tend to oversimplify some of the realities concerning nuclear power. The Clean Energy Standard and its nuclear
provision are, ostensibly, about climate change. The state has several policies meant to slash carbon emissions from New York’s power plants. The standard requires electric utilities to get half of their power from renewables by 2030. But New York’s nuclear plants provide large amounts of zero-emissions power — they generate roughly 30 percent of the state’s electricity — and Cuomo says that they can help keep statewide carbon emissions down during the transition. (It’s not clear what happens to the plants and their workers once the subsidies expire and the clean energy transition is complete.) But the Upstate plants have operated in the red for the last few years. New York’s competitive energy marketplace favors plants that can deliver lots of power cheaply, which means that natural gas plants can undercut nuclear facilities. Cuomo and others say that if the state stands by and lets carbon-free nuclear plants close before additional renewables are brought online, that natural gas plants would fill the energy gap, which would lead to a spike in carbon emissions. Cuomo proposed the nuclear subsidy, which takes the form of energy credits that utilities must buy, for exactly that reason. His idea is to compensate the plants for the added value of their carbonfree power, thereby making them viable in the short term. Exelon was happy enough with the plan that it’s buying the FitzPatrick nuclear plant in Oswego from Entergy, a competitor that planned to shut the facility down. The company says that it’ll put $200 million into Ginna and Nine Mile Point as a result of the
Clean Energy Standard. “Approval of the Clean Energy Standard makes New York a true leader in terms of support for zero-emissions energy, including both renewables and nuclear,” Exelon CEO Chris Crane said in an August press release. In practical terms, all of New York’s nuclear
subsidies will go to Exelon, since the company already owns two of three Upstate plants and it’s in the process of buying the third. (The Entergy-owned Indian Point plant isn’t eligible for the supports.) AGREE’s Azulay says that the subsidy plan is an unprecedented transfer of public wealth to a private corporation. She also pushes back on the idea that nuclear energy is safe and clean. The plants do have a smaller carbon footprint than fossil fuel facilities, but they have other environmental impacts. They use massive amounts of water for cooling and also have the potential to leak radiation from reactors or spent fuel, which is stored on site, she says. The subsidies would be better spent on more investment in renewables and efficiency programs that lead to long-term reductions in energy use, Azulay says. Even when nuclear plants close, they still have to keep substantial parts of their staff for the decommissioning process, she says. And investing in renewables and efficiency would create new job opportunities, Azulay says. Some communities and utilities have already had to figure out what they’d do if a nearby nuclear plant closes. When Exelon said a few years ago that it might close Ginna, Rochester Gas and Electric advanced a transmission project to replace the plant’s electricity; the utility expects to complete the project in the spring. Azulay cites plans to close down Indian Point as another example where government leaders and power providers found ways to replace a nuclear plant’s power. Cuomo and other state leaders have, for many years, tried to shut the plant down, since they see it as a safety threat to New York City. Entergy agreed to close the plant by 2021, and officials plan to replace its electricity supply with ongoing transmission and efficiency projects, as well as with hydropower. “That just shows that it can be done,” Azulay says. Entergy pledged to find workers jobs at other plants and the state has promised to help workers find new jobs in the state’s power industry, says a press release from Cuomo’s office. The state also promised to assist with retraining employees to work in the renewables field. Plant owners tend to reduce a plant’s workforce gradually during the closure process. They also retain some employees for the decommissioning process, though those workers represent a fraction of an operating plant’s staff. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Dining

All roads lead to Village Gate [ CHOW HOUND ] BY JAMES JOSEPH
Ever since The Gate House moved into the former location of Espada Brazilian Steak last Fourth of July weekend, there has been a void in Village Gate. Kristen Flores-Fratto, the owner of The Gate House, knew another restaurant could flourish in the large, visible location at the end of the courtyard. Flores-Fratto and her husband, Michael Corson, hope to create another mainstay in the always-evolving Village Gate with Vesta’s Roman Hearth (274 North Goodman Street). The restaurant aims to inject a Roman flair into the local dining scene when it opens in early February. There may be a number of Italian restaurants in Rochester, but Flores-Fratto believes the Roman distinction sets Vesta’s apart. “Roman food is a combination of ancient recipes with old Jewish roots,” FloresFratto says. “It’s really very simple.” Executive Chef William Hughes crafted the menu with dishes — including unique takes on familiar meals, like a classic Carbonara ($13) — that will stand out for the fresh-made pasta. It’s a common theme on Vesta’s menu: every dish will be made to order from scratch.
Some aspects of The Gate House will carry over to become staples of Vesta’s. The wood-fired pizza oven that helped build The Gate House’s pizza menu will take on a more creative role in the new kitchen. The Carciofi alla Romana ($8) appetizer uses marinated artichokes flash-roasted in the oven and served over a fava bean puree with lemon mint vinaigrette. The Filetto di Manzo ($29) is a classic filet that will also be roasted in the oven on a cast iron skillet. Having the steak cook from an indirect heat will allow the meat to hold its tenderness, which is lost when cooked over an open flame. Likewise, the wood-fired oven will help give the filet a distinct flavor, Hughes says. Diners will notice a bit of an uptick in cost compared to The Gate House. “Because of the price point,” Flores-Fratto says, “we are clearly going to have a different clientele than The Gate House. But we are not trying to become an exclusive place.” Vesta’s will be offering beer and wine to start, and even in its wine menu, the Roman theme will stay consistent. Vesta’s selection will be heavy on Italian wines, with a light presence from the Finger Lake region.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 29 ANTHOLOGY, 336 EAST AVENUE 6:30 P.M. | $27.50-$30 | ANTHOLOGYLIVE.COM; UMPHREYS.COM [ PROGRESSIVE ROCK ] Every generation has an American
jam band for its time. Umphrey’s McGee is just that: a band consistently being compared to Phish and The Grateful Dead, with similar extended improvisational sets made of two parts, encouraged live audience tapings, and a constant touring schedule. What separates this group is its ever-evolving experimental, progressive style. Although the Indiana-based band formed in 1997 covering acts like the Dead and moe., Umphrey’s McGee’s influences range from King Crimson to Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden. Each original song draws from bluegrass, rock, folk, and even heavy metal, piecing songs together in a Lego building fashion. Umphrey’s McGee is more than a jam band, it’s a musical force to be reckoned with. With Joshua Redman and Spafford. — BY AMANDA FINTAK

but it does lend its name to an appealing concert this Friday in the Hochstein School’s “Spotlight on Faculty” series. Cellist Kathleen Murphy Kemp (also of the RPO) and pianist Doleen Hood present a short but sweet program that includes cello sonatas by Gaspar Cassado (the other famous Spanish cellist, after Pau Casals) and Richard Strauss. Those works are complemented by Paul Hindemith’s “Variations on ‘A Frog He Went A-Courting,’” in which Kemp and Hood will be joined by narrator Nicholas Kinney and artwork by the Hochstein Expressive Arts Group.

immediately captivates. It has an enthralling combination of power and pathos. The result is a highly expressive and intangible human empathy that Bullock will undoubtedly bring to the Lyric Theatre stage on Monday. A proven interpreter of contemporary classical music, Bullock has had a pivotal role in the performance of works by such illustrious living composers as John Adams and Kaija Saariaho. But the Eastman School of Music alumna is also at home with the repertoire of Purcell, Mozart, Ravel, and Schubert. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

and Grille, 109 East Ave. 2326000. templebarandgrille.com. 10 p.m.
Periodic Table of Elephants might raise a question with its artwork — is that a cookie on the cover? — but the power duo is heavy on its debut EP, “henry,” stomping its way through four songs that leave no doubt to what this band stands for. Recorded at Wicked Squid Studios with Josh Pettinger behind the boards, “henry” has a full sound that, despite minimal overdubs, is a fair representation of how the duo plays live. Periodic Table of Elephants fires on both cylinders and drops a few good lines over an abundance of ace riffs. Lead singer and guitarist Jason Pariseau’s voice occasionally resembles Dave Grohl, and drummer Sean McGinnis Scanlon provides a backbeat inspired by Travis Barker of Blink-182. Both musicians are influenced by 90’s-era alternative bands and it shows: “Machines” burns like Green Day; “Duck” takes it to the point of no return; “Pile of Bones” is almost blue; and “Better off Dead” is dynamic and pays homage to Henry Rollins. “henry” doesn’t necessarily break new ground but it does put Periodic Table of Elephants on the radar. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

A Vintage Year “Beautiful Disease” Self-released avintageyear.bandcamp.com
THU., JANUARY 26
A Vintage Year’s sophomore EP, “Beautiful Disease,” resonates with some juxtaposition: influenced by grunge, the band blends in elements of prog- and alt-rock for a more contemporary sound. It roars like an engine. “Beautiful Disease” opens up with “Lot to Say” and wastes no time launching into a chorus reminiscent of Stone Temple Pilots — lead singer Joe Williams channels the ghost of Scott Weiland on a few of the EP’s tracks — which eventually gets broken up by guitarist Jordan Barney’s solo. When the quartet follows a similar pattern of big choruses and effective riffs A Vintage Year produces some of its best material. The gem on this CD, though, is “More and More,” which is deliberate as it dives into power-pop. The song blissfully uses vocal harmonies over a straightforward arrangement that highlights a solid performance by drummer Nick Manka. Despite being an album from a young band, “Beautiful Disease” has its moments. A Vintage Year ought to get even better with time. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Music be used to play rock, jazz, flamenco, classical, etc. It’s never been typecast. I think, these days, people are beginning to accept the fact that the banjo can be used to play a concerto with major symphony orchestras with players like Bela Fleck, who play in a jazz context, and really in any form of music. What’s the most off-the-wall thing you’ve done?
DO YOU
Probably playing a very modern, atonal concerto for banjo and percussion ensemble.
Like CITY CITY?
What’s a rule you always adhere to?
Try to play tastefully, cleanly, and with good time, and don’t feel constrained by any musical boundaries. In your earlier career, you moved around a bit from group to group. Were you searching for something specific? Tony Trischka says banjo has no rules. PROVIDED PHOTO

Banjo hero Tony Trischka FRIDAY, JANUARY 27 BERNUNZIO’S UPTOWN MUSIC, 122 EAST AVENUE 8 P.M. | $15-$20 | BERNUNZIO.COM; TONYTRISCHKA.COM [ INTERVIEW BY FRANK DE BLASE ]
The banjo. Although often maligned, or at least misunderstood, the instrument has a hero in Tony Trischka. This Syracuse native has slung the five-string banjo in groups like The Down City Ramblers and Country Cooking, and produced Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers’ 2011 album, “Rare Bird Alert.” He’s also received a Grammy nod and several attaboys from the International Bluegrass Music Awards. With a finger-style that moves from producing gentle, exquisite, music box-like chimes to percussive, twangin’ glee, you’d swear Trischka is sporting a couple of extra fingers … on each hand. CITY fired a few questions over the banjo man’s bow. Here’s what he fired back. An edited transcript follows. CITY: What attracted you first, the music or the instrument? Tony Trischka: Though I grew up listening to Pete
Seeger and The Weavers and all of Pete’s banjo music, it didn’t capture me. In the early 60’s, I was caught up in the “folk scare” and was playing folk guitar, but when I heard The Kingston Trio do “The MTA,” with a wonderful banjo solo by Dave Guard, it was 16 notes of that solo that “forced” me to play the five-string. 12 CITY JANUARY 25-31, 2017
How did you feel when you first picked up the banjo?
I was totally head over heels for it. In fact, before I even had a banjo, I retuned my guitar like a banjo and tried to figure out a few things from the Pete Seeger banjo instruction book. When I finally got my long-necked Christy banjo for Christmas in 1963, I spent hours and hours playing. How do you advance your playing style while still remaining traditional?
When I first started taking banjo lessons from my teacher, Hal Glatzer, he taught me how to play tunes in Scruggs style, the predominating bluegrass way of playing the banjo. Earl Scruggs become my touchstone, and to this day is a primary inspiration. There are others of his generation (dating back to the 40’s and 50’s) who I idolized, and so, as “progressive” as I may get some times with my playing and musical contexts, I always continue to listen to my early heroes and transcribe their solos. Do you classify your music in one particular genre or is it a hybrid?
My music is a hybrid. The foundation is in bluegrass, but I’ve listened to a lot of jazz and classical and rock, and elements of those filter into my playing. What’s a rule in banjo playing that you break?
I don’t think there are any rules of banjo playing. For so long the 5-string banjo has been considered a bluegrass instrument. The guitar can
I don’t know that I moved around a lot early on. I followed opportunities when they presented themselves. It was more that than any kind of searching. In the early 70’s, I was in a band called Breakfast Special, and we were together for 3 years. Then I did a Broadway show called “The Robber Bridegroom” for a year and a half. The later 70’s, I was grazing in different bands. That was followed by a nine-year stint with a group called Skyline, that spanned almost all of the 1980’s. You’ve been described as having a fearless musical curiosity. Has that ever gotten you in trouble?
In the early to mid 70’s, I started recording my first solo albums for Rounder Records, and I would have certain tunes with saxophones, drums, and electric guitar, unusual chord progressions, and “progressive” note choices. These would understandably get fairly withering reviews in the traditional bluegrass publications. You’ve played in a lot of bands, recorded a lot of records, and played constantly for 45 years. What’s something you haven’t done yet that you want to?
In terms of musical contexts, I feel that I’ve done just about everything I’d ever want to do: record with Earl Scruggs; sit in with the Allman Brothers; play with symphonies and string quartets; play in jazzy electric settings; and on and on. Though I’ve played in some pretty amazing venues like Madison Square Garden, Avery Fisher Hall, the site of the original Woodstock festival — not at Woodstock, but at the site — and so on, I’d some day like to play at Carnegie Hall and appear on the Grand Ole Opry. Those two would probably complete my bucket list.

North Carolina’s Sinai Vessel describe itself as “punks for sissies” on its Bandcamp profile, which is potentially the undersell of the century. While this kind of self-deprecating humor is all too common in the emo circuit, for a band like Sinai Vessel, a phenomenally tight emo three-piece that blends gut-wrenching vulnerability with massive choruses, it feels particularly unfair. Its latest record, “Brokenlegged,” is a triumphant work that deserves any and all of the praise currently being thrown at it. For a band that seems to never stop touring, it’s quite remarkable that it could find the time to sit down and write such a full-sounding album. Sinai Vessel did it, however, and now it’s bringing it to you.
Norm Lewis doesn’t need much spin; his impressive theater resume speaks for itself: he’s played Porgy in “Porgy & Bess,” and has appeared in “Sondheim on Sondheim,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Les Miserables,” “Chicago,” “Miss Saigon,” and on and on, all on Broadway. He was also the first African-American to play the Phantom in the Broadway production of “The Phantom of the Opera.” Lewis played Javert in “Les Miserables” in London’s West End, and just recently, he was cast in the title role of the Off-Broadway production of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Add to that Tony and Drama Desk nominations, and you can see that Lewis is a top tier performer. Lewis, a baritone, will be joining an orchestra of Rochester musicians for a concert, “The Music of the Night,” in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre.

To herald in 2017, Geva Theatre Center is throwing its audiences a bone. “Sylvia,” which features a canine-centered storyline, opened on January 14; it’s the second comedy in Geva’s Wilson Stage season, following last fall’s season opener “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” “Sylvia,” penned by Buffaloborn playwright A.R. Gurney, premiered Off-Broadway in 1995 (the year the play is set), and has featured big names like Sarah Jessica Parker in the title role. The plot follows a WASP-y upper middle class couple, Greg (John Scherer) 14 CITY JANUARY 25-31, 2017
and Kate (Dee Hoty), who recently moved to New York City from the suburbs after their last child left for college. By day, Greg works a corporate job and Kate teaches Shakespeare to inner city high school students. By night, the couple maintains social plans with other empty nesters. It seems ideal, but Greg isn’t happy at work — or really, at all. When he finds a stray dog, Sylvia (Jennifer Cody), wandering Central Park one day, he brings her home and a bond begins to form between the two. It eventually becomes so strong that it strains Greg and Kate’s marriage, prompting advice from a friend, a fellow dog owner, and a therapist (all played by Hunter Foster). Given the nature of the script (the role of Sylvia is typically portrayed by an attractive woman who actually converses with the other characters), “Sylvia” requires a certain suspension of reality and openness to metaphor. “Sylvia” is directed by Geva Artistic Director Mark Cuddy, and feels similar to other comedies
he’s undertaken. Each comedic moment is played to the utmost (a fact that caused some audience members to cry with laughter). Cody, a Henrietta native and SUNY Fredonia graduate, returns to Rochester in her fourth annual show; she also appeared in “The Odd Couple,” “Women in Jeopardy,” and “Monty Python’s Spamalot.” In many ways, the petite actor is well cast as an adorable-yet-sassy dog. Her chemistry with the other cast members — especially Scherer — is sweetly convincing, and her physicality as a house pet creates hilarious moments. While the entire cast holds its own, it’s Cody who sets the tone of the show and keeps the frenetic pace throughout. As Greg, Scherer portrays a thoroughly milquetoast husband who’s having the oddest midlife crisis. He’s nice and seems to mean well, but overall, he lacks courage to connect with his wife and projects his need for intimacy on a dog. Scherer does an expert job toeing the line between
completely unlikeable and pitiable. Kate is the “cat” of the play. She’s going about her own business and hisses a bit when Sylvia comes home with Greg, because she likes the rhythm of their current life. Hoty has a challenge with the role: it would be all too easy to play a nagging, workaholic wife, but she measures her emotions beautifully throughout, even seeming heroic by the end. Hunter Foster (who audiences may remember as last year’s King Arthur in “Spamalot”) plays three characters throughout the course of the show: Kate’s high society friend Phyllis, Greg’s fellow dog park frequenter Tom, and an ambiguously gendered therapist named Leslie. The characters are appropriately stereotypical, and Foster is a delight each time he walks out on stage in a new costume. The scenic design (primarily Greg and Kate’s apartment) by Jo Winiarski feels like the setting for a mid-90’s sitcom or romantic comedy, complete with plush wall-to-wall carpeting and minimalist accents. Gray is the primary set color, allowing the cast to color each scene with their bright costumes and dialogue. The costume design by Susan Branch Towne takes full advantage of the gray setting and the fantastical element of a dog who’s played by a human: Sylvia’s outfits feel like they’re pulled from the wardrobes of tiny pageant queens. Since its premiere in 1995, “Sylvia” has been received with mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. The most recent (and first) Broadway production in 2015, starring Matthew Broderick, closed several weeks early due to poor tickets sales and a mediocre critical response. While that’s not likely to happen at Geva, the inclusion of “Sylvia” in the Wilson Stage lineup highlights a certain gravity missing in the theater’s 201617 main stage season thus far; a missed opportunity for discussion-spurring works during what has been an important, historic few months. Rather than alternating genres, Geva’s Wilson Stage has featured two comedies and the annual production of “A Christmas Carol,” shows poised to sell tickets. While comedy is preferable for some audience members and could even be praised as a reprieve from the stress of everyday life, the city’s only regional theater has a greater responsibility to its audiences — one that will, hopefully, be fulfilled during the second half of the season.

Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti’s “The Old Maid and the Thief” is a popular choice among opera ensembles looking to produce one-acts with compelling human drama. The Nazareth College music department’s Opera Workshop will interpret this story of young lovers, aged gossips, and deception in a short run that begins on Friday. The Nazareth College Symphony Orchestra — led by conductor Nancy Strelau — will accompany the singers (a double cast) in the full production. Directed by Kate Hannigan Tabon. “The Old Maid and the Thief” will be performed on Friday, January 27, and Saturday, January 28, at the Callahan Theater, Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Avenue. 7:30 p.m. Free admission. The group will perform the opera again on Saturday, February 4, in a double bill with Menotti’s “The Telephone” at the Lyric Theatre, 440 East Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $10 donation. 389-2700; artscenter.naz.edu. — BY DANIEL J.

Although the new exhibit opening at Oxford Gallery this week bears the title of a painting by a featured artist, “Confluence” is also an apt name for a showing of artwork by two different people. Two streams of artistic focus and style converge on Saturday, January 28, at 267 Oxford Street. Featuring paintings and drawings by Barbara Fox and Ray Hassard, the exhibit continues through March 4. Whether working in pastel on paper or oil on canvas, Hassard, a Cincinnati-based artist, points toward the beauty in the mundane. The viewer watches as his subjects — such as neon-garbed road workers — go about the business of life. And Western New York-based artist Barbara Fox excels at replicating reflection. Her oil and watercolor paintings sparkle with light, whether playing on the surface of water or passing through glass marbles to settle, glowingly, on a page of text. A reception for the show is planned for Saturday, February 4, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment. Admission is free.

Photographer Richard Renaldi’s new body of work, “Manhattan Sunday,” which opened at George Eastman Museum on Friday, straddles the lines between portraiture, street photography, and still life. Featuring photographs made on eerily empty Manhattan streets in the wee hours after the clubs let out, the work also captures the blurred lines between nightlife and daybreak, private and public lives, strangers and community, and the spectrum of gender identities. 16 CITY JANUARY 25-31, 2017
Renaldi began this project in 2010 with the idea to capture “that moment of leaving the afterhours clubs, leaving the energy and the intensity and the crowd, and coming out into the early morning light of Manhattan when the city was just completely still,” he says. “Most of the time, New York City is crazy, especially Midtown, where most of the clubs are. Sunday morning is this one time when it’s really quiet.” The pictures are uncaptioned aside from the time of morning they were taken, between midnight and 10 a.m. They are gritty and beautiful explorations of nature and artifice. Calming shades of gray give shape to bodies and bricks, illuminated by the weak early morning and punctuated by grids of lit windows, lines of tiny bulbs, and dazzling neons. With this surreal serenity as his inspiration, Renaldi’s images picture people in the space between revelry and going home, framed within the emptied cityscapes. At 09:51, a suited man strolls with a far-away look, a cigarette in one hand and dangling a pair of black pumps from
the other. Outside of a club at 07:19, a pair of men casually lean against a barricade with arms linked. Alongside them, Renaldi has also captured early morning workers sweeping and spraying the evening’s debris from sidewalks. “It’s a little more melancholic than what you experience in the clubs,” Renaldi says. It’s after the high; it’s not a comedown per se, but more tranquility. And to see the city that tranquil is very magical and special.” There is evidence of this mood on the faces of Renaldi’s subjects, who embrace one another with a looks of tired contentment, or pose for the camera with a little leftover sass. At 06:50, a bare-chested young man in tight black pants and stilettos stands in the middle of the street. Glancing back over one shoulder, he looks every bit like a faun who has wandered from the meadow of an idyllic painting into a modern cityscape. Implied in Renaldi’s work is the change in tenor that he witnessed in the
nightclubs during the AIDS epidemic, and again as treatments for the disease became widely available. “When I first came to New York in the 90’s, it was the epicenter of AIDS,” he says. “Nightlife had gone from being pretty much anything goes and totally wild to this mortal dread.” The scene shifted from overtly sexual to become more creative, Renaldi says. “A lot of the drag that came up in the 90’s came out of those mid-80’s East Village clubs, where RuPaul and Candis Cayne and Lady Bunny, and other performers got their start.” But as protease inhibitors came out and people stopped dying en masse, things became more relaxed and sexualized again. Today, there are HIV prevention pills. “Now the nightclubs are pretty unencumbered and very sexualized,” Renaldi says. Things have shifted back toward the original tone, but those other eras informed the expressions in fashion and demeanor that we see now, he says. While some of his subjects favor sporty street clothes, many are masked with all manner of glamor. Renaldi calls “Manhattan Sunday” an homage to the place he’s spent decades of his life, and a cross-section of his experiences as a photographer and his experiences as a club-goer. He says both going out and his photographic work is about seeking connection, and that his portraiture in particular is a result of the desire to be able to continuously gaze at people. “I’ve always been a hard starer, and it used to freak my friends out,” he says with a laugh. “Photography became this way to continue to do that, but in a more legitimate and constructive way.” And though many come off as candid, they’re not — he uses an unsubtle 8x10-inch view camera, which is a big box on a tripod with accordion bellows and a black cloth. But he says that photography has also kept him grounded. “And with nightclubs, if you don’t have a strong foundation, there is a strong potential to get carried away,” he says. Accompanying the exhibit is a cell phone tour, through which visitors can learn more about select images, as well as a Spotify playlist of dance music Renaldi made to supplement the show and serve as a metaphor for what he does with his photography. “Contemporary DJs frequently sample music from old songs,” Renaldi says. “I feel that all art forms are borrowing from what’s been done before. I’m not breaking new ground by making a portrait of a human being, but I’m taking what I’ve learned from other photographers and what’s inside myself, mixing it together and making something new.” See more of Renaldi’s work at renaldi. com, and on Instagram at @renaldiphotos.

FILM | “THE SEARCH FOR SILVERSPEAR” A project more than 25 years in the making, local filmmaker Curtiss Markham will present his stop-motion animated film, “The Search for Silverspear,” on Saturday, January 28, 8 p.m., at the Visual Studies Workshop (31 Prince Street). Starting in 1987, when Markham was just 13 years old, the young director shot the film frame-by-painstaking-frame on Super 8 over the course of two years. Decades passed before Markham decided all that work deserved an audience. He had the footage digitally restored and added a brand-new soundtrack before sending the film off to much success on the festival circuit. The results demonstrate a budding filmmaker’s ingenuity, delivering a charming take on the sword and sorcery genre inspired by the fantasy films Markham loved as a young boy. “Revisiting a teenage film project as an adult is amazing, because I was such a different person then,” Markham says. “I had my whole life ahead of me and was motivated purely by optimism and a love of movies. As an adult it can be challenging to hold onto that innocence, so it’s been great to rediscover this youthful project and to finally share it with a large audience.” Saturday’s program will also include a selection of animated shorts from the VSW film collection that proved influential to Markham as a young animator. $5 suggested donation for admission.

Fractured identities “Split”
when Shyamalan returned to his roots, working on the type of smaller, genre-bending films that (PG-13), DIRECTED BY M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN earned him a reputation in the first place. His NOW PLAYING latest, the lean, wildly entertaining thriller “Split,” continues that upward trend. [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW Perhaps Shyamalan’s biggest downfall was that his films began to be defined solely by their The career of M. Night Shyamalan has twists. Whether or not you enjoyed them hinged had its ups and downs over the years. After entirely on how taken you were with their surprise being anointed the next Spielberg following revelations. And with each passing film, the the massive success of “The Sixth Sense,” gimmick grew less and less effective. Thankfully “Unbreakable,” and “Signs” in the late 90’s “Split” offers no “Big Twist.” Yes, there’s something and early 2000’s, the filmmaker faltered with that happens late in the film that recontextualizes middling efforts, “The Village” and “The things a bit, but trust me: don’t go in waiting for a Happening,” before completely squandering twist, or you’re going to leave disappointed. any goodwill with his big-budget fantasy and James McAvoy stars as Kevin, a man with science fiction projects, “The Last Airbender” an extreme case of dissociative identity disorder and “After Earth.” (DID) which has resulted in possessing 23 Things didn’t take an upswing until 2015’s different personalities. As the film opens, one of low-budget, found-footage horror “The Visit,” Kevin’s personalities abducts three teenage girls — Claire (Haley Lu Richardson, “The Edge of Seventeen”), Marcia (Jessica Sula), and Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy, “The Witch”) — and takes them back to his underground refuge.

recent emergence of a mysterious 24th identity known only as “The Beast.” Meanwhile Kevin’s therapist (Betty Buckley) is advocating on his behalf, unaware of her patient’s more unsavory activities. She has a growing fear that something is amiss when one of Kevin’s personalities keeps urgently requesting an emergency appointment, only for him to show up at her office and wave off her concern. Buckley brings some much-needed warmth to a film that’s often dark and nasty, even if she tasked with shouldering much of the film’s exposition. While “Split” is often suspenseful, it’s never truly scary, and there’s a touch of exploitation in the way it treats some very real suffering as a source for audience thrills; though DID is a real ailment, the film doesn’t exactly offer a nuanced portrayal of mental illness. The plot is more than a little ludicrous, and as an exploration of mental illness, “Split” is as deep as a puddle, but the film works in part because of Shyamalan’s general compassion for the characters (even if he allows terrible things to happen to them). If there’s a through line that winds its way through much of Shyamalan’s work, it’s his interest in the way people cope with trauma and how they overcome their demons in order to function in the world. The three girls respond to their dire situation in very different ways. Casey’s a bit of a misfit due to her own childhood trauma, which we learn about as her backstory is gradually doled out by Shyamalan. She knows about survival, and it’s not always through the physical toughness with expect from our horror movie heroines. She gains a certain empathy for her captor, and with her performance, Taylor-Joy

makes us redefine what makes someone strong and what makes a victim. Unfortunately, the characters of Claire and Marcia don’t benefit from the same development Casey receives, but Richardson and Sula play them convincingly. Really, though, this is McAvoy’s show. He gives a tour-de-force performance in a big, flashy (teetering on hammy) role he carries off with impressive skill. We meet only a few of those 23 personalities: OCD tough guy Dennis; mischievous 9-year-old Hedwig; prim, British schoolmarm Patricia; and flamboyant fashion designer Barry. Those are the dominant personas, though we get brief glimpses of a few others. The actor makes each of Kevin’s identities distinct, cluing us into which personality has “the light” before he even opens his mouth. All the while, McAvoy gets at the vulnerability and sadness underlying his character. Shyamalan is a masterful technician, and his skill elevates what’s essentially a B-movie potboiler to another level. The virtuosic camerawork of cinematographer Mike Gioulakis (“It Follows”) is a major asset, his camera constantly pursuing the characters and accentuating the claustrophobia of Kevin’s underground lair. Shyamalan composes the frame to keep us constantly afraid of what remains hidden in the shadows. “Split” is entertaining enough to convince me that “The Visit” wasn’t a fluke. Well-crafted, clever, and thrilling, its most impressive achievement just might be that it’s managed to make me excited to see what Shyamalan does next.

Brown, follows a young Nepalese woman’s journey for freedom from a brothel in India. On Thursday, January 26, a series of five panel discussions will explore a range of topics, from law enforcement responsibilities to human trafficking in the tourism industry. Local experts working on cases involving human trafficking will be part of those conversations, including Judge Ellen Yacknin, who presides over Rochester City Court’s Human Trafficking Intervention Court, and Moses Robinson, a member of the Rochester Police Department’s task force on human trafficking. “Human Trafficking: A Rochester Problem, Too” occurs in two parts at St. John Fisher College, 3690 East Avenue. “Sold” will be screened Wednesday, January 25, in Basil Hall 135, beginning at 6 p.m. The panel discussions will take place on Thursday, January 26, in Basil Hall 135 and Galisano Gateway. 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Free and open to the public.

Tudor by the Park
34 Navarre Road
Looking for a house to call home? The Tudor Revival at 34 Navarre Road is calling your name. With a special attention to architectural details, unpainted woodwork throughout that gives each room a cozy yet dignified feel, and sensitively incorporated modern updates, 34 Navarre strikes the balance between old and new. Plus, the location offers great neighbors with an amazing sense of community and proximity to an Olmsted-designed park and the El Camino Trail, both less than a block away. If the welcoming, tree-lined street doesn’t immediately convince you, the exterior of this 1,774 square foot home will. It offers all the cottagey charm of a typical Tudor with its stucco exterior, intersecting rooflines, shutters, and leaded glass windows. The front door opens to a tiled entryway with coat closet. Immediately ahead is the staircase, with original unpainted banister. This space can be closed off from the living room with a delightfully subtle leaded glass pocket door. Should you choose to proceed to the living room, you’ll be greeted by an abundance of warm, dark woodwork. From the crown molding, to the doors (with original glass knobs!), archways, baseboards, and windows, it’s all unpainted and gorgeous. A bank of leaded glass windows lights the large living room. A brick fireplace with wood mantel and leaded glass bookcase provides a wonderful spot to gather with family. A leaded glass door leads to the sunroom on the side of the house. With a door leading out to the deck and backyard, this space could
serve as a functional mudroom, a home office, a kid’s playroom, a cozy reading room or some mix of all of the above! A large archway from the living room opens to the dining room, which boasts a large bay window as well as applied decorative moldings on the walls. The kitchen is fully updated with new cabinets, white marble countertops, and subway tile backsplash. Off the hallway that leads back to the front of the house is an updated powder room—a nice bonus in an early 20th century home. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the full bath. The bathroom still retains the historic subway tile but has been updated with a modern vanity. The attic is spacious and wide open. Outside, you’ll find a fully fenced backyard with a deck, patio, and mature plantings, including witch hazel and lilacs, as well as a two-car garage. With all its modern amenities and historic character, the asking price of $154,900 is a great deal for this property. The current owners have clearly loved the home and have taken great care in maintaining its historic details while providing quality updates. To learn more about 34 Navarre Rd. contact Judy Allen with Nothnagle Realtors at 585-733-4839. by Caitlin Meives Caitlin is the Preservation Planner at The Landmark Society and a proud city homeowner in the Park Ave . neighborhood.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Post-Truth Society
In January, the U.S. Court of Appeals finally pulled the plug on Orange County, California, social workers who had been arguing in court for 16 years that they were not guilty of lying under oath because, after all, they did not understand that lying under oath in court is wrong. The social workers had been sued for improperly removing children from homes and defended their actions by inventing “witnesses” to submit made-up testimony. Their lawyers had been arguing that the social workers’ “due process” rights were violated in the lawsuit because in no previous case on record did a judge ever have occasion to explicitly spell out that creating fictional witness statements is not permitted.
The Way the World Works
Former elementary school teacher Maria Caya, who was allowed to resign quietly in 2013 from her Janesville, Wisconsin, school after arriving drunk on a student field trip, actually made money on the incident. In November 2016, the city agreed to pay a $75,000 settlement — because the police had revealed her blood-alcohol level to the press in 2013 (allegedly, “private” medical information). The lawsuit against the police made no mention of Caya’s having been drunk or passed out, but only that she had “become ill.”
The Redneck Chronicles
(1) John Bubar, 50, was arrested in Parsonsfield, Maine, in November after repeatedly lifting his son’s mobile home with his frontend loader and dropping it. The father and son had been quarreling over rent payments and debris in the yard, and the father only eased up after realizing that his grandson was still inside the home. (2) Update: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reversed itself in December
and allowed Mary Thorn of Lakeland to keep her 6-foot-long pet alligator (“Rambo”) at home with her despite a regulation requiring that a gator that size needs a more spacious roaming area. Thorn and Rambo have been together for over a decade.
Unclear on the Concept
“I’m (as) tired of hearing the word ‘creep’ as any black person or gay person is of hearing certain words,” wrote Lucas Werner, 37, on his Facebook page in December after he was banned from a Starbucks in Spokane, Washington, for writing a polite dating request to a teenaged barista. Managers thought Werner was harassing the female, who is at least the age of consent, but Werner charged illegal “age discrimination” and made a “science” claim that “age gap love” makes healthier babies.
Police Report
Taylor Trupiano grudgingly paid his $128 “traffic” fine in December, issued by a Roseville, Michigan, officer who caught his car warming up unattended — in his own driveway. Police routinely issue such tickets (five to 10 each winter, based on a town ordinance) to send drivers like Trupiano a message that unattended cars are ripe for theft, which burdens Roseville’s police department. (A police spokesman said the driverless warmups are illegal even for locked cars.)
Awwwwwww!
(1) Jasper Fiorenza, 24, was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida, in November and charged with breaking into a home in the middle of the night. The female resident said she awoke to see Fiorenza and screamed, but that the man nonetheless delayed his getaway in order to pet the woman’s cat lounging on her bed.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 26 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone who isn’t available or who is sending you mixed signals will tempt you. Play it safe and spare the grief of tainting your reputation for someone who isn’t worth it. Don’t play house unless a commitment is in place. Don’t let anyone dictate how you live your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Say what’s on your mind when it comes to love, and find out where you stand. You cannot plan for the future if you don’t know what the present holds. Be brave, romantic and ready to make a long-term promise to someone you feel is a perfect fit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be careful how you treat the ones you love. If you give someone the wrong impression, you will have trouble backtracking. When it comes to romance, be explicit about the way you feel, what you expect and how you see your relationship moving forward. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t make an emotional scene when it comes to love and romance. If you are attracted to someone you work with, consider the consequences before you make your feelings known. Showing respect and honesty and maintaining your dignity will help you move forward without damaging your reputation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll find it difficult to stick to one person when so many people fascinate you. Don’t let anyone corner you at social functions or make assumptions regarding the way you feel. Calling the shots and being straight about your personal objectives will help eliminate any confusion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When it comes to love, you’ll have all the right moves. Discussing your life goals with someone you hope will join you on your journey will encourage you to make a commitment. A practical decision will help you cut your overhead, enabling you to save for the future.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t feel you have run out of choices. If someone pressures you into a situation that isn’t on your agenda, you are best to be frank about the way you feel. Settling for less than what you want won’t lead to a happy ending. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your mysterious ways will attract a lot of romantic attention. Take on personal challenges that allow you to show off your skills. An aloof demeanor coupled with a little magnetic charm will do wonders when it comes to love and romance. Suggestive innuendoes will lead to fun and games.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What you want will not coincide with the dreams of someone you are close to. Before moving forward, address any doubt before it’s too late. Having similar life goals with the person you want to commit to will help you avoid ongoing battles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone from your past will give you reason to second-guess your lifestyle and relationship prospects for the future. Take a walk down memory lane, and consider whether you left someone behind who truly belongs in your life. Reconnect to find out if the magic still exists.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A change in the way you feel about someone will mark a new beginning. Whether you want to become an item or you want to distance yourself from someone, this is a good time to make your move. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be difficult to resist. Your ability to be whatever and whoever someone wants you to be will draw plenty of offers. Before you decide to be a chameleon, consider being yourself and attracting someone who loves you for you. Looking for the right romantic fit requires honesty.
