OCTOBER 25 - 31, 2017

The NFL’s national anthem demonstrations have proved, once again, that politics and sports are often inseparable. In 1936, Adolf Hitler saw the Olympic Games in Berlin as an opportunity to promote his ideals of racial supremacy. Rather than boycott the Games, the United States chose to send their best athletes regardless of skin tone and religious beliefs. As a result, AfricanAmerican sprinter Jessie Owens won gold and triumphed over the warped philosophy of Nazism. On April 15, 1947, the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson to play second base. In a front-office move that was meant to signify the social progressiveness of the franchise, Robinson broke the color line and heralded the end of segregation in America’s favorite pastime. In 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, after winning gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter running event, turned on the medal ceremony podium to face their flags during the American national anthem. Each athlete defiantly raised a black-gloved fist and showed the world what self- determination for people of color looks like. In the summer of 1971, the game of ping pong was used to open up diplomatic relations between the US and the People’s Republic of China. The so called “ping pong diplomacy” was so successful that it resulted in the lifting of the embargo against China. The 1995 Rugby World Cup was an event that helped unify a post-apartheid South Africa. Following South Africa’s victory, Nelson Mandela, the president of South Africa, wearing a Springboks rugby shirt and cap, presented the Webb Ellis Cup to the white South African captain: a symbolic act that opened up a way forward for a profoundly traumatized and fragmented society. More recently, after the

tragedy of 9/11, a tattered flag rescued from the World Trade Center site waved in the sky above the old Yankee Stadium. The World Series of 2001 not only provided solace to a nation in mourning, it also provided an opportunity for New Yorkers to rally around their beloved team in an act of heroic solidarity. Political demonstration has been an integral part of the history of sports throughout the world. I found Mike Pence’s decision to walk out at halftime because of the anthem protests to be an overt political demonstration. What makes the vice president’s protest legitimate and the NFL player’s protest inappropriate? Why can he use the sports arena to voice his opinion but the players should remain silent and obedient? Was that just another example of white people dictating the terms of who gets to speak and under what conditions their voice can be heard? A protest where no one is moved to action is useless. The nonviolent strategy that the NFL players have employed certainly makes many fans and casual viewers uncomfortable (think how the restaurant sit-ins of the 50’s and 60’s made some people feel), but it has achieved what all social justice protests set out to do: it has forced people to make a choice. Because these demonstrations are so blatant, uncompromising, and persistent, they are making everyone take a side, including players, coaches, owners, advertisers, and, most importantly, families at home. In a major way, sports has provided yet another catalyst for addressing and transforming social change. GEORGE CASSIDY PAYNE

The NFL players have every right to kneel for racial justice before the American Flag or “modify their salute” in any way they please, according to Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech. This is supported by the 1942 Supreme Court decision, West Virginia v. Barnette, regarding the requirement to salute the flag. “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation,” the Court wrote, “it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics,

nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens by word or act their faith therein.” “To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous, instead of a compulsory routine, is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds,” the Court said. This ruling does not leave out the esteemed game of football. Mr. Trump doesn’t care about personal liberties other than the liberties that perpetuate his hunger for power. Mr. Pence, by walking out of the Colts-49ers game, thumbed his nose at the Constitution, which he has vowed under oath to protect. Now who really is unpatriotic? The football players – so many of whom have suffered the condemnations, victimization, and injustice of direct, violent racism in America – kneel because they care about our country. We should embrace this. We fought for this. We walked for this. We must feel the outrage about the plight of our brothers and sisters of color and of our whole country, and do something about it. That is what I think about when I stand for or choose not to stand for the American flag. DAVID WALLING

Fighting drugs

On a neighborhood group’s plea for stronger efforts to fight drug sales and use: I could not agree less with MNBN. Substance abuse – which, by the way, is not the only form of addiction – is a mental health issue. The attempt to use the legal system to treat this issue has little history of success. Are we really interested in criminalizing every individual who becomes addicted to and abuses prescriptions medication, as an example? Addictive behaviors frequently result from self-medicating issues such as shame, depression, and anxiety. Increasing access to mental health and addiction treatment along with addressing our local issues of poverty would go much further in managing the issues of substance use and other addictive behaviors.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Ah, Amazon: some thoughts about our latest Big Idea Do we want Amazon to build its new headquarters here? For some people – including a lot of local business leaders and politicians – the easy answer is a whopping big YES. Amazon’s Request for Proposals says the company will hire “as many as 50,000 new fulltime employees with an average annual total compensation of $100,000.” For a city whose former principal employer once had more than 60,000 employees and now has only 1700, what’s not to like about the possibility of bringing in 50,000 tech workers? And so, among more than 200 submissions, Amazon executives will look at a proposal from “RochesterBuffalo,” meaning, I guess, someplace in Rochester, in Buffalo, or a site in between. (Batavia?) We do have a lot that Amazon wants: a strong university system with tech specialties that could be a good fit for the company; a diverse population; available land; “recreational opportunities, educational opportunities, and an overall high quality of life” (Amazon’s words).... Given the competition, though, I’m not sure we have much of a chance. Amazon is looking for a place similar to Seattle, one with a lot of skilled workers and a culture of entrepreneurship. Amazon didn’t create Seattle. Microsoft was there first. So were other innovators in their fields, like Nordstroms. So was Boeing. “When outsiders gaze covetously at Seattle’s Amazon boom,” notes a recent Politico report, “what they’re really seeing isn’t the effect of a single company, but of a chain reaction.” The presence of some has attracted others, which have attracted others.... Still, maybe the stars will align. Maybe Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos will decide to do something really bold and put HQ2 in a city that really needs more high-paying jobs. But what would we have to give up? The answer: Most of us don’t know. The proposals aren’t public. What we do know is that Amazon expects us to give up something. The third item in the section of the RFP titled “Key Preferences and Decision Drivers” is this: “Identify incentive programs available for the Project at the state/provincial and local level. Outline the type of incentive (i.e. land, site preparation, tax credits/exemptions relocation grants, workforce grants, utility incentives/ grants, permitting, and fee reductions) and the amount.”

That doesn’t sound like loose change. While we wait to learn whether Rochester-Buffalo makes the first cut, then, we might think about some potential downsides of an HQ2 – if we don’t plan carefully. “The upside to the Amazon HQ2 settling in your city is 50,000 new high-paying jobs,” says Apartment List’s Rentonomics newsletter, “but these new workers may suck up every apartment in sight and drive up rents.” Rental rates in Seattle – home of Amazon’s HQ1 and its 40,000 employees – have gone up 65 percent since 2010, says Rentonomics. The price of homes in Seattle has gone up 69 percent since 2012, Politico reports, and traffic congestion is the fourth worst in the nation. And while those tech salaries are something to brag about, Seattle’s income disparity has also grown, says Politico. And Seattle’s homeless population is serious and highly visible. Many Rochesterians don’t have the skills Amazon will want for those $100,000-a-year jobs. What will Amazon’s presence do for them? If Rochester-Buffalo wins the bidding war, who will provide the benefits Amazon demands? The winning city? The State of New York? Where’s that money going to come from? Will the tax subsidies and all the rest mean less money for schools, libraries, police, firefighters, street cleaning, and public sponsorship of concerts? Rochester needs those 50,000 jobs; no question about it. I’d let out a big whoop of joy if Amazon chose us – if HQ2 benefitted the whole community. If spin-offs included jobs for people who are now unemployed. If nontechies could still afford to live here 10 years from now. If the folks who put together our HQ2 proposal had thought all this through. Did they? rochestercitynewspaper.com

Health group commits to renewables

Rochester Regional Health announced that by 2025, it’ll get all of its electricity for all of its facilities from renewable sources. Officials say the health system will reduce electricity use by updating equipment and making energy-efficient improvements to its buildings; it’ll increase on- and off-site renewables generation, including solar panel installations; and it’ll buy renewable electricity when the system needs additional electricity. Dr. Eric Bieber, president and CEO of Rochester Regional Health, said in a press release that the health system’s commitment to sourcing renewable and carbon-free energy is in line with its mission to “support a healthier community.” The organization also expects that the switch will save it some money, which makes it a smart business move, Bieber said.

Transgender remark sparks controversy

SUNY Geneseo officials are looking into complaints from students about comments they say a sociology instructor made about transgender people. The comments involved a slide

the instructor showed the class that read “FEMALE or SHEMALE? Can you tell?” SUNY Geneseo President Denise Battles issued a statement that said in part: “As we review this situation, let me say unequivocally that SUNY Geneseo has a steadfast and uncompromising commitment to diversity and inclusivity.” The Geneseo incident follows controversies involving faculty at the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology.

UR center offers new treatment for cancer

The University of Rochester’s Wilmot Cancer Institute is among the first medical facilities in the world to offer CAR T-cell therapy to treat lymphoma in children and adults. The immunotherapy, called Yescarta, boosts the patient’s own immune system, allowing it to search for and destroy cancer cells as an alternative to more traditional radiation and chemotherapy approaches. The University of Rochester Medical Center participated in the clinical study that led to FDA approval of the drug, which is intended for large B-cell lymphoma, an aggressive form of blood cancer.

RTS has started a comprehensive study of its bus system, which could lead to an overhaul down the line. FILE PHOTO

TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE

Public can learn about bus study Greater Rochester’s public transit system was designed at a time when downtown Rochester was the very center of the community. Several decades and a lot of sprawl later, bus routes have been added, subtracted, and modified, but the bus system is still working from the same fundamental blueprint. Now, however, the region’s bus system could face a total overhaul, depending on the outcome of a study by the agency that runs it. Regional Transit Service is holding a public information session on its Reimaging RTS initiative at 6 p.m. Wednesday, October 25, at the SUNY Brockport

MetroCenter, 55 St. Paul Street. “It’s definitely time to do something like this,” says Tom Brede, a spokesperson for RTS. The system is up against more than just geographic changes. It has image perceptions and reliability concerns that officials want to counter. Companies relocating into the area pick sites without considering transit access and then ask RTS for bus service. New transportation options, such as bike sharing and the Uber and Lyft ride-hailing services, present both competition and opportunities, Brede says.

And then there are the millennials. As a generalized group, millennials are less interested in car ownership than previous generations and more interested in public transit. Millenials form a pretty big chunk of the region’s population and could be vital customers for RTS, Brede says. The process is just starting. RTS’s consultants are wrapping up an origin and destination survey, and the agency is now soliciting community input through myRTS.com/reimagine. The study probably won’t be done until the end of 2018, Brede says. Any changes could take another year or more.

A November 4 charrette offers a chance to reimagine Charlotte and address longstanding issues that go beyond seasonality, says Sue Roethel. Among them: improving walkability, making the beach area more attractive, and creating a more inviting Lake Avenue gateway to the beach.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Reimagining Charlotte Even plenty of sunshine and unseasonably warm weather wasn’t enough to draw more than a dozen or so people to Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte during a recent afternoon. Seagulls well outnumbered cars in the Port of Rochester’s huge parking lot. And that’s just fine with some people who live and spend time there. The lakefront neighborhood’s out-of-season serenity is worth the wait, they say. They like its mellow vibe and don’t want to see pricey townhomes popping up in the area. But for some residents and small businesses, Charlotte’s cyclical changes can be a test of endurance, and they wish the area was livelier and attracted more people year round. Envisioning a future Charlotte will be the challenge for participants in an upcoming event. The city, the Community Design Center of Rochester, and the Charlotte Neighborhood Association are holding a community charrette on Saturday, November 4, at the Port of Rochester Terminal building, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required: 865-6101. Planning for the charrette has been underway for about six months, says Sue

Roethel, a CNA board member and head of the charrette steering committee. Participants will focus on several key areas: the port, harbor, and marina; Ontario Beach Park and the Roger Robach Community Center; River Street North and the Riverway Trail; and the Lake Avenue corridor. The charrette will begin with a slideshow of historical photos of Charlotte to help give participants a sense of the community’s distinct past as something to build on, says Roethel. Charlotte is in many ways a cross-section of multiple communities with interests that may overlap but aren’t identical, Roethel says. It attracts summer beach-goers, families who go there just for picnics in the park, boaters, tourists, bar and restaurant patrons, and yearround residents and businesses, she says. “I believe that’s our asset and our challenge,” Roethel says. “We need to find that balance. We want people from all over greater Rochester to have a vested interest in what happens here. Some people want to keep it more public; others want more private development.” This isn’t the first time the Charlotte community has debated its future. It was only a few years ago that Edgewater Resources proposed a $30 million port project with a hotel located, condos, and

townhomes. Proponents said it would draw more lakefront investment, create jobs, and attract retail. Opponents said the development would be too tall and would obstruct views of the lake. Even though that project sputtered out, the debate over improving the area has continued to percolate. Emily Selover has worked for her father, Lee, owner of the Windjammer, for a long time, and she says some development is needed. “I think people want to keep the smalltown feel, but still have the excitement of a tourist destination,” she says. She would like to see some of the quaintness of Skaneateles or Clayton in the Thousand Islands

combined with more winter activities so that businesses aren’t so dependent on summer crowds. Selover plays in a band and she says there used to be plenty of venues for musicians, but now there are hardly any in the area. Roethel says the charrette is an opportunity to completely reimagine Charlotte and address some longstanding issues that go beyond seasonality: improving walkability, making the beach area more attractive, and creating a more inviting Lake Avenue gateway to the beach, for example. “We want to dream big,” she says, because anew plan can take the community far into the future.

ROCHESTER ELECTIONS | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Round 2 for city voters in the race for mayor and Council Given the Democratic Party’s big lead in voter registration in the City of Rochester, the Democratic Primary for city elected offices is sometimes considered the real election. But many city voters are not registered Democrats. For them, the general election is their only chance to choose city leaders. This year, that chance comes on November 7. Three city offices are on the ballot: mayor, City Council’s five at-large seats, and three school board seats. (The winners of the Democratic Primary for school board – incumbents Van White and Cynthia Elliott, and newcomer Natalie Sheppard – are running unopposed. Beatriz LeBron’s name is on the ballot on the Working Families and Independence Party lines but she is not seeking election.)

The candidates for mayor

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren handily won the Democratic Primary in September, but she faces three more opponents in the general election. In the primary, all three candidates were liberal Democrats. This time, voters have a dramatic choice: the liberal incumbent, a conservative Republican, a Green Party candidate, and an independent. (County Legislator Jim Sheppard, who challenged Warren in the primary, is still on the ballot on the Working Families and Independence Party lines but is not seeking election.)

The four candidates:

Tony Micciche, Republican, Conservative, and Reform Parties: A former GM employee who has invested in numerous residential rental properties in the city, he lives in northwest Rochester. He is serving his second term as a County Legislator representing northwest Rochester, Greece, and Gates and chairs the legislature’s public safety committee. Micciche did not respond to several requests for information, but his positions on key issues are included on his campaign website. A strong conservative, he says he wants to boost business in the city by reducing fees and regulations and speed up the permit process. He wants to eliminate the city’s Sanctuary City policy, reduce the mayor’s salary, impose term limits (two terms for mayor, three for City Council members), and cut city property taxes by 10 percent. 6 CITY

OCTOBER 25 - 31, 2017

He says that he would push for drug testing for people receiving public benefits and for eliminating state mandates, and that he would work with state and county officials to establish childcare centers staffed by people receiving public benefits. He would push for a “surge” in law enforcement and would establish neighborhood police precincts in schools. On education: The mayor has no authority over the school district, and state law requires city government to raise taxes for the school district rather than having the district raise its own. The mayor can, of course, advocate for changes in the district and in state law, and Micciche’s website includes extensive education recommendations. He says that he would give the Rochester school district one year to restructure, reduce administrative staff, ensure that all teachers are qualified, and raise the graduation rate to at least 65 percent and that he would withhold school district funds if the district failed to do that. He would push for legislation requiring the school district to raise its own taxes, and he wants to eliminate school taxes for city residents over age 70. He wants the district to eliminate busing and return to neighborhood schools. And he wants the district to establish a “tough” reform school for disruptive students. His website: tonyformayor.us. Lori Thomas, People’s Party: A retired teacher,

secretary, and city refuse collector, she has been active in Metro Justice, CAFEE, and police-reform citizens groups, writes a blog on education accountability, and is a former school board candidate. She lives in the Beechwood neighborhood.

In her campaign, she emphasizes her independence and says that frees her from political-party influence. She opposes giving tax incentives to large downtown developers and instead wants to support the renovation of buildings and would provide tax incentives that help their owners rent to small, locally owned businesses. She supports community co-ops and other efforts to boost entrepreneurship, help provide jobs for youth, reduce poverty, and create “a self-sustaining workforce.” She supports the reforms recommended by citizens groups pushing for independent civilian review of police. She wants to cap the salaries of the mayor and the mayor’s staff at $75,000. She wants the city to create opportunities for more residents to own their own homes, which she says will increase the city’s tax base. She wants a return to neighborhood schools. She wants to create a “tiny homes” project, building housing for veterans on vacant lots in city neighborhoods. Her website: thomas4mayor.wordpress.com. Alex White, Green Party: A long-time

community activist and frequent candidate for city office, he has been involved in numerous community and small-business groups, including United Christian Leadership Ministries, the Monroe Avenue Task Force, and the South Wedge Planning Committee. He is owner of Boldo’s Armory and Regrow Rochester and lives in the South Wedge. He has been a harsh critic of providing tax incentives for developers, which he says has benefitted the wealthy, is gentrifying the downtown area, and saps funding needed for vital city services. He says the Warren administration is too beholden to special interests and lacks transparency, and he says the city’s ethics rules need to be reformed. Development money should be invested in small businesses and neighborhood amenities, he says, rather than developing large downtown buildings. He wants the city to encourage more features downtown such as a food park, skate park, outdoor concert space, and graffiti museum, and to focus more on the river.

He wants the city to empower residents by forming neighborhood councils that would participate in drafting budgets, zoning regulations, and development plans. He wants the city to use eminent domain to acquire vacant houses and sell them to owners who will repair them. He wants more police foot patrols and a police reorganization that has officers serving smaller areas to encourage more interaction with residents. He would boost the involvement of Pathways to Peace in youth outreach efforts and have zoning staff handle nuisance complaints. He wants an independent civilian review board for police oversight, more emphasis on conflict resolution in police training, and an end to stop and frisk action. To reduce poverty, he wants the city to expand its summer youth jobs program, expand vocational training, expand living-wage requirements, expand child-care offerings, and improve public transportation. His website: greenrochester.org/alexwhite. Lovely Warren,

Democratic and Women’s Equality Party: Warren, completing her first term as mayor, is the first woman and only the second African-American to hold that office. Previously, she was on City Council for six years, four of them as Council president, and served as legislative aide to her mentor, State Assemblyman David Gantt. She lives in the city’s northwest area. As mayor, she has been heavily involved in boosting downtown development and has pushed for development in underserved city neighborhoods such as Bullshead and Hudson Avenue. She has continued development initiated under her predecessors and begun new ones. Not all of her development moves have gone smoothly. Her seemingly abrupt change in

selecting developers for Parcel 5, for example, brought criticism from some residents and arts organizations. But several new downtown housing complexes have been completed, and much of the Inner Loop Phase I infill is complete and developers have been selected for large parcels of it. She led the city to reaffirm its City of Sanctuary resolution, and has spoken out on the Trump administration’s positions on immigration and other issues. To increase jobs for unemployed and lowincome residents, her administration launched a community co-op program and a program that provides loans to entrepreneurs and small businesses. She has pushed for better public transportation to job centers for city residents, and she helped get a van pool created for city residents working at the Del Lago casino. And she has been heavily involved in the RochesterMonroe Anti-Poverty Initiative. During her administration, Rochester adopted a Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the city, continued its program to make streets more bike friendly, and brought Zagster’s bikerental program to the city. Her campaign website: mayorlovelywarren.com.

The candidates for City Council

City Council plays a key role in city government, not only listening to and reflecting the concerns of city residents but also providing oversight of the mayor – reviewing and approving the city budget and voting on legislation. In January, Rochester will lose three valuable current Council members: Matt Haag and Carolee Conklin, who are retiring, and Dana Miller, who failed to win in the September Democratic primary. Miller and Conklin will leave a particularly big hole because of their long experience in public service. Conklin is completing her third term on Council and before that was City Clerk. Miller is also completing his third term on Council and has been an important leader in the 19th Ward community. Eleven people are running for the five at-large seats on the nine-member Council: two incumbents, two people who currently hold a different elected office and want to join Council, and seven who have never held elected office. (Also on the ballot, on the Women’s

Equality Party line, is Matt Juda, who lost in the September Democratic Primary, and is no longer seeking election.)

The newcomers

Pam Davis, Working Families Party:

An artist and activist who lives in the Lyell-Otis neighborhood, Davis has been active in numerous neighborhood and community organizations. Her concerns about the current administration: There is a “severe lack of communication” between Rochester citizens and many of the departments in City Hall, she says, and the administration fails to include residents in decision making. On police oversight: She says police need to show more respect for citizens, and she wants more training on policy, procedure, and cultural competency. On downtown development: She warns that downtown could become “a playground for the rich,” that most new residential development isn’t affordable for many city residents. She would vote against a proposal for an RBTL theater and an apartment complex on Parcel 5, citing her concerns about the extent of public financing and the affordability of the apartments. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: She wants the city, county, and state to create public-works jobs for the poor. Her other interests: Curb the stray pet population, increase funding for libraries, and establish a translator service for neighborhoods and community groups for the hearing impaired and non-English speakers. Her campaign Facebook page: facebook.com/PamforCityCouncil. Shawn Dunwoody, Working Families: An artist and activist who lives in Marketview Heights, Dunwoody has been active in numerous arts and youth organizations. He was a founding member of Fashion Week (which benefits the Center for Youth) and MUCC. On police oversight: He says the current process doesn’t work, and he supports a review board composed of people “from various walks of life.” On downtown development: He stresses the need for focusing on the riverfront and for serving the needs of people who already live downtown, not just specific audiences who might come downtown. A strong downtown needs people on the street, he says, and a good mix of development and green space. He wants Parcel 5 used as half green space, half commercial and residential. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: The anti-poverty initiative’s success will depend on public-private partnerships, he says, and he wants City Council to be actively involved. A blanket approach likely won’t work, he says; instead, efforts should be tailored to the needs of individual neighborhoods.

His other interests: Encouraging an embrace of the culture of the city; using City Council to build strong connections with the public; fostering an understanding of the unique attributes of individual neighborhoods; helping the city prepare for future opportunities and challenges, including climate change. His campaign website: shawndunwoody.com. Chris Edes, Libertarian and Reform Parties: An

information technology specialist at Datto, Edes founded the local Libertarian Party and has been a board member of the regional Civil Liberties Union and the Rochester Civil Liberties Coalition. He lives in the Mt. Hope area. His concern about the current administration: He says it has indulged in ACCUSES IT OF? corporate welfare in exchange for campaign contributions, and he criticizes the bulldozing of the “Sanctuary City” for the homeless in 2014. On police oversight: He supports a civilian review board with subpoena power, open meetings, and the power to discipline officers and says the police chief shouldn’t be able to overrule its decisions. On downtown development: He says current initiatives are “misguided and ineffective,” benefitting wealthy developers and large corporations. Downtown should be treated like a neighborhood, he says, and should be encouraged to develop its own character. He opposes development of a theater for RBTL on Parcel 5. The city already has enough buildings and not enough green space, he says. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: He says the city’s economic development policy, in effect, takes money from the poor and gives it to the rich. He opposes using the RochesterMonroe Anti-Poverty Initiative to pass funding to anti-poverty efforts and says money should go directly to the poor and to the people directly helping them. Among his other interests: Paying down the city’s debt. His campaign website: vote-for-chris.net. Anthony Giordano, Green Party: A resident of the Highland Park neighborhood, Giordano does contracting-construction work, sells his own brand of birch beer, and has been involved with the ROC/Acts community organization. He has run for elected office several times. His concern about the current administration: He says it has entered deals with large developers that don’t directly benefit city residents and neighborhoods. On police oversight: He supports an independent review of police. On downtown development: He believes current plans don’t benefit city residents and new housing isn’t affordable. He wants Parcel 5 preserved as open green space with food carts, art displays, and other amenities. He isn’t opposed to a new RBTL theater downtown but wants it located somewhere other than Parcel 5. He says the city should do more to fight poverty, should have provided more help for the House of Mercy as it sought more space, and

criticizes the city’s destruction of the “Sanctuary City” for the homeless in 2014. His Facebook page: facebook.com/ anthony.giordano. Mitch Gruber, Democratic Party: The program

director of Foodink, he has helped bring about many of that organization’s public-health programs, and he serves on the governor’s Council on Hunger and Food Policy. He lives in the Susan B. Anthony neighborhood and has been active in its community organization. On downtown development: The city’s most serious problem is outside of the Inner Loop, he says, in neighborhoods that have been neglected for decades. Rochester is a very segregated city, he says, and Parcel 5 offers a chance “to build something that encourages an integration of people.” He wants new development to be used day and night. He also wants development that adds taxable revenue, and he wants existing downtown parks better utilized. On police oversight: He supports the recommendations of activists working for independent civilian review. And he wants police officers walking neighborhood beats and getting to know neighborhood residents. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: The region has a huge middle-skills worker gap, he says, and unemployed residents need training so they can get those jobs. His other interests: Promoting urban agriculture and other productive uses for vacant lots; helping erase factions on Council and in the Democratic Party; encouraging the city to help build up neighborhood associations, including providing money for some of them. His campaign website: mitchgruber.com. Andrew Hollister, Republican, Libertarian,

Conservative, and Reform Parties: The owner of a small IT company that builds apps and designs network infrastructure, Hollister is a native of the 19th Ward, has lived in the Lyell-Otis neighborhood, and recently moved to Charlotte. His community service has included volunteer work at the Boys and Girls Club, EMT, and emergency-communications work with the Red Cross. His concern about the current administration: He says the mayor misrepresented the local jobs numbers and has failed to create more jobs. On police oversight: He wants a more transparent process, and he says that police officers with whom he’s talked also want reform. On downtown development: He says the city has indulged in excessive corporate welfare and tax subsidies and that the policy has created too few jobs. Future development should be aimed at creating a strong local jobs market, he says, and should include planning for all forms of transportation including bicycles, walking, and public transit, and should incorporate green space. On Parcel 5: He thinks the mayor and RBTL are over-promising on the theater proposal. He prefers the Visionary Square proposal to preserve open space for public events and spur adjacent small-business development. continues on page 49 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Dining & Nightlife

Passions projects collide [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

In bowling, the fifth frame is commonly referred to as the beer frame; whoever has the lowest score buys the next round. When Jon Mervine, Wade Reed, and Jarred Foster were looking for a name for a new venture combining their passions for coffee and beer, the name Fifth Frame Brewing Co. seemed like a perfect fit. Mervine and his mother had even made some tables out of an old bowling alley years ago that now have a home in the new space at 155 St. Paul Street. Mervine was one of the co-founders and brewers at Roc Brewing, and Reed and Foster cut their teeth at Joe Bean. The three had been kicking around the idea for this business

— a combination microbrewery and coffee roaster — for a few years, and when Mervine was offered a job opportunity on the West Coast, it was a real “come to Jesus” moment. They decided to go for it. Reed will be in charge of the roasting, which along with the brewing will be done in an off-site facility about half a mile away from the retail space. The brewery will have a 10-barrel system, and there will definitely be collaborations between the roastery and the brewery. “Don’t be surprised if you see a breakfast stout or a coffee and chocolate stout,” Mervine says. When it comes to what other kinds of beer Mervine will be brewing, he doesn’t discriminate. “Any and all beers,” he says, “we’ll be able to do some really

fun things and have them go away when they’re ready to go and put some new stuff on.” On the food menu, you’ll find donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and biscuits — even birthday cake. The Ah, Honey Honey ($3) biscuit is served with honey butter, while the Oh, Sugar Sugar ($3.50) adds cinnamon and sugar. The Momelette Sammie ($5.50) combines mushrooms, onion jam, and egg. The Classic ($6) sandwich has pork sausage, sharp cheddar, and egg. As for the coffee program: “Espresso and drip is what we want to focus on,” says Mervine. “We’ve invested a lot in the technology to make pour over, quality drip coffee in a batch brew to save the customer time and money. Our espresso machine is amazing, we can do some really cool things that Rochester will appreciate once they actually get to try it.” Drip coffee ranges in price from $1.75 to $2.75. Espresso drinks, depending on the espresso to milk ratio, ranges in price from $2.50 to $4.50. “The three of us met through doing what we are actually now doing in business. It’s 100 percent passion driven,” Mervine says. “It just so happens that we love and enjoy and aren’t that bad at what we do.” Fifth Frame Brewing Co. is located at 155 St. Paul Street, and is open every day, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. fifthframe.co.

Do you remember when the word “indie” meant independent of limits and associations and not a shortcut for calling something “weird”? If you don’t, then please let Rochester’s Pink Elephant explain by way of its new album, “Around Your Neck.” With just the right amount of chaos and noise, the band bangs out a sonic wall of angry, thoughtful rock ‘n’ roll. Over its 12-song expanse, the album builds and blends with an eye on things getting too nuts. Pink Elephant knows big and loud are two different things. Clearly influenced by the likes of Dinosaur Jr., I predict the Pink Elephant shoe will one day be on the other foot: Just flash-forward somewhere in the future when indie bands of tomorrow cite “Around Your Neck” as an influence on their sound.

Singer-songwriter Madeleine McQueen packs quite a wonderful wallop on her newest EP release, “Wildfire.” You can hear her strength and resolve over the disc’s entirety. McQueen has a heartbreaking belt and sustain, and here she sings spot-on and flexibly gentle with a voice that first caught me completely off guard at the Jazz Festival. The arrangements of her songs stand up to her band’s deft might, right down to the strum of her ukulele. The cut “Earth” features McQueen’s voice plugged into multiple harmonies, like a chorus of Madeleine McQueens posing as impish angels. Her band is a rock band, no question, but it toes the line appropriately, allowing all the rise and fall and joy to come from McQueen. “Wildfire” satisfies, but could have used a few more tracks.

Music Punk saved rock ‘n’ roll before. Is it time for that again, and are The Dead Boys up for the challenge?

Well something’s gotta save it. The kids aren’t getting into it like they should. But lately we’re getting a lot of kids at the shows now. I’m happy to see that. They seem to want to keep it alive, and as long as they do, I’ll be there to play it. Describe the musical landscape in the 1970’s when The Dead Boys arrived.

It was the late-1960’s and early-1970s; there was a lot of good music coming out, but it was starting to stagnate. The punk rock that came out of that had a bit more anger in it because the world changed. It was a pretty dismal scene back then. It wasn’t good.

The late-1970’s was huge for punk as it raged against corporate rock and its own conception, and was blasted into the mainstream. Bands like Iggy and the Stooges, the New York Dolls, and the Ramones were getting picked up by major record labels, and the media began to notice. Amid a year of seminal album releases — the Ramones’s “Leave Home”; the Sex Pistols’ “Never Mind The Bollocks”; Elvis Costello’s “My Aim Is True” — Cleveland’s The Dead Boys in 1977 released the apropos “Young Loud and Snotty,” which contained the punk anthem “Sonic Reducer.” On stage, The Dead Boys were a punk rock spectacle, with front man Stiv Bators slashing himself with a mic stand, spitting, writhing, and eating his own snot while Cheetah Chrome brandished the guitar like an axe murderer amidst the chaos. The kids went wild. But the band’s label wanted The Dead Boys to tone down the vulgarity and

bombastic lewdness to appeal more to straighter audiences. Nothing doing. Bators sabotaged the recording on the planned follow-up record by singing off-mic. A couple of reunions notwithstanding, the band split in 1979. After The Dead Boys broke up, Bators formed the Lords of the New Church before being fatally hit by a car in 1990. Chrome soldiered on in Cheetah Chrome and the Casualties and a newly reformed version of his first band, Rocket from the Tombs. “Young Loud and Snotty” was 40 years ago. Not to be relegated to that of a punk rock footnote, Chrome has reformed The Dead Boys with original drummer Johnny Blitz. And with a brand new re-recording of the band’s first album, The Dead Boys are hitting the road. CITY gave Chrome a jingle to discuss punk rock and re-recording The Dead Boys’ first album. An edited transcript follows. CITY: You’re back. Is this the right time for a Dead Boys reunion? Cheetah Chrome: You know, I think so. It’s the

Humor was one of things we definitely brought. The first time through they treated us a little more serious than we wanted them to. There was a certain amount of gang mentality. We weren’t pretty or polite or anything like that. We tried to make the situation as best as we could. How are punk fans different today?

Well, they’re a little chubbier, a little more well-fed than we were… we were skinny, little lost puppies. We were mongrels. Kids are smarter now than we were back then. Why re-do “Young Loud and Snotty” instead of something new? Was it unfinished business?

We wanted to do something special for the anniversary. Our initial plan was to have a box set of masters, but that got held up. We were touring and thought we’d like to have something different. We never got the opportunity to go into the studio and record it again — like we were told we would. The original album is really just a demo and didn’t sound like how we heard it in our heads. But I have no regrets over that. I still think it’s a great album. We don’t have all the original members, but we’ve got some new guys that are just as good for what we wanted to accomplish. I love this band. Are you writing any new material?

40th anniversary of the first album, and next year will be the 40th for the second album. I can’t think of a better time.

We’ve got a ton of new material. I was working on a solo record and that kinda got put on the back burner because of this.

Did you think you’d still be here talking about it 40 years later?

Do these songs fit The Dead Boys format?

I can’t say that I did. We were told it was a flash in the pan; that it was gonna die. I believed in it then, but didn’t think it would last this long.

As far as I’m concerned they do. What’s something you’ll never do?

Never shake President Trump’s hand.

World Music has produced some unlikely and wonderful instrumental marriages, but few are as strange and beautiful as Yoshie Fruchter’s oud and Myk Freedman’s lap steel guitar. Add bassist Michael Bates and drummer Tim Keiper and you’ve got Sandcatchers. The band couldn’t be any tighter, and bandleader Fruchter’s tunes are as adventurous as they are exotic. It’s not surprising to find that Fruchter works with John Zorn’s Tzadik Records and is a key player on New York’s experimental music scene.

PHOTO BY LEE HOFFMAN METAL | TYRANITAR

Self-proclaimed “bardic metal” trio Tyranitar sources its songwriting material from the most “metal” subject there is: world history. Sure, it’s hard not to love metal’s undying affinity for stoned wizards and metaphysical Satanism, but those topics can also be relatively low-hanging fruit from a creative standpoint. With lo-fi black metal theatrics shot through with folk metal flourishes, Tyranitar’s real-life tales of medieval tyranny and ancient warlords call to mind a more scholarly Amon Amarth while sacrificing none of its brutality. Loincloths encouraged but not required. Tyranitar will perform with Cosmic Brownie, Heathens, Betsy Woldeyohannes, and others during the Night of the Living Dad event on Saturday, October 28.

Earlier this year, newly appointed Greece Performing Arts Society board president Eric Vaughn Johnson — who also serves as business manager and program director for RAPA — announced GPAS would reinstate the Greece Theatre Company and mount the regional premiere of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” GPAS was formed in the late 1960’s, but this is the first time a (young) city resident is serving as president, and the influence is already showing. While “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” retains the music from the 1996

Disney adaptation, the storyline is much closer to Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel and takes a darker approach to the Parisian tale. Through October 29, the musical runs at the Lyric Theatre main stage. Artistic Director Janine Mercandetti, who last co-directed “Assassins” at Blackfriars Theatre alongside Danny Hoskins, is tasked with leading a show that’s somewhat familiar, with a cast of 19 Rochester and Finger Lakes-based actors, while working in the 40-person Greece Chorale Society to support music and lyrics written by Disney powerhouse duo Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. What results is a community theater production that reaches another level. From Quasimodo (played by Dylan DeGeorge) perched atop the cathedral to Esmeralda (Kit Prelewitz) dancing in the street below, there isn’t a weak cast member in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” DeGeorge, Prelewitz and Steve Valvano (who plays a truly shudderinducing Claude Frollo) steal scenes throughout the show. DeGeorge, especially, with his heart-stopping rendition of “Heaven’s Light” and earnest

character, is marvelous to watch. Prelewitz, a recent Nazareth College graduate, portrays an independent, fiery Esmeralda who captivates the audience with her soaring vocals (“The Bells of Notre Dame,” “God Help the Outcasts”) and command of the stage. In the role of Captain Phoebus de Martin, is Carl Del Buono, a singing, swaggering delight. Del Buono is also a very late addition to the show, stepping into the role even after programs were printed — but were it not for that fact, no one would suspect he hadn’t been rehearsing for months. A full orchestra to the right of the stage, conducted by Vocal and Musical Director Yunjin Audrey Kim, expertly plays through more than 25 musical numbers. Choreographer Mandi Lynn Griffith-Gurell makes the most of an interestingly spaced stage and multiple levels with movement. Costumes and wigs by Kitty Lipski are thoughtful and vivid. Because the cast and crew have clearly worked hard to prepare this premiere, it’s disappointing the venue doesn’t serve their work better. There are two inherent challenges with the Lyric Theatre’s main stage space: sight lines and acoustics. The sight lines are due to a lack of tiered seating (Lyric retains church pews from its days as a place of worship), which becomes problematic when audience members clump together. Fortunately for the cast and crew, more than 100 audience members attended opening night. Unfortunately for the audience members, sometimes other people are very tall. As for the acoustics, a musical may have the greatest singers and orchestra, but without precise sound design and technical savvy a show will lose its oomph. Most of the sound during Friday’s show seemed to be coming from two small standing speakers, similar to what a wedding DJ might use. If the Lyric were to install a true sound system, this would serve both organizations and attendees well. Otherwise, the space is magnificent and an ideal backdrop for this production aesthetically. At approximately two hours, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is a commitment, but the time flies as each cast member performs with fluidity and prowess. Hopefully, this is the first of many laudable works from the Greece Theatre Company.

Bile’s painting, “Kept,” is just one gruesome part of “Unadulterated Overkill,” a monster-themed group show at Makers Gallery and Studio Space. PHOTO BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Cthulhu and Krampus and Kaiju, oh my “Unadulterated Overkill” THROUGH SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28 MAKERS GALLERY AND STUDIO SPACE, 34 ELTON STREET, THIRD FLOOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M. CLOSING PARTY OCTOBER 28, 7 P.M. TO 11 P.M.; FREE 507-3569; MAKERSGALLERYANDSTUDIO.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

When Matt Roberts proposed a monsterthemed group show to some of his art homies, “unadulterated overkill” was the aesthetic directive he gave them. The resulting exhibit is a week-long pop-up show at Makers Gallery and Studio Space. The show is bookended by an opening party, which took place last Saturday, and a closing reception and Halloween party on Saturday, October 28, which will include art raffles, costume contests, food trucks, and door prizes. Leading up to the show, the disturbed dream team — which includes Roberts, John Perry, Bile, Magnus Champlin, and Nick Brandreth — documented their creation

of macabre paintings, sculptures, and installations on social media. Roberts created some incredibly detailed mixed media sculptures of historic and imagined beasts, including the shadow St. Nicholas, “Krampus”; “Parasite Rex,” a Tyrannosaurus with a ferocious extra mouth on its chest, complete with dripping plastic saliva trembling in the ambient indoor breeze; and my personal favorite, the barkand-foliage “Woodwolf.” Accompanying each of the sculptures is a dramatic painting after-study. Champlin is known for his paintings and illustrations, including (in this show) the mixed-media “Read a Book,” a neon gem on butcher paper that depicts a girl engrossed in a tome while a tentacled beast busts through the picture plane. The rest of his work is sculptural, which is a relatively new endeavor, he says. Over the winter he would mess around with Sculpey clay at Brandreth’s house, and the resulting pieces are grotesquely impressive. “Kaiju Spawn” is a wallmounted grate with a green, three-digit hand grasping out at the viewer while a reptilian eye peers through the metal slits. He’s also sculpted man-eating plants based on Audrey from “Little Shop of Horrors,”

the leathery petals embedded in some cases, with real teeth. John Perry’s completely immaculate acrylic paintings range in subject matter from the monsters from “Salem’s Lot” and “The Creature from the Black Lagoon” to a series of zombified portraits of the other artists in the show. He’s also created some crispy marker-on-cardboard illustrations of cartoonish beasts. The rotting face central to Bile’s painting “Kept” seems to undulate and disintegrate under your gaze, and the longer you look at the piece, the more hidden details emerge. Bile also painted macabre scenes on a saw blade and wood. And leaning in one corner, Bile’s lifesized figurative sculpture, “Container,” lingered ominously at the edge of the party like an advanced case of “Weekend at Bernie’s.” A deteriorated head is visible through a glass tank, rotting hands hang limp at its sides; a stiff in stiff, filthy clothing and feet jammed into work boots. Something about Bile’s dead things, whether painted or sculpture, retains the disturbing sense of a sentient presence. At the opening, the guys giggled while they told me about transporting the sculpture to the gallery, and how freaked out they were that a cop or a neighbor would mistake it for a real body. The quiet spooks of the show are Brandreth’s glass plate photography installations. A few slide viewers are mounted on wall at average eye-level, with tiny circular lenses to peep through. And you have to crouch down to interact with the three viewers displayed on low pedestals, which look like tiny television sets with squat, wide screens — Brandreth made these out of volt meters, which he gutted and rewired for his own purpose. When you press the button to light up each viewer, you’re rewarded with a chilling, vintage-looking scene: A pick-up truck full of bodies; a hunter startled by a horned beast; a caped and hooded woman stands in a cornfield holding a skull. Brandreth and his wife made all of the costumes used in the scenes. “I want you to think they’re a snapshot, but in reality, it’s really formal and technical,” he says of the works, which are dry-plate positive transparencies on 2-inch by 5-inch glass plates. The images reflect his love of folklore, fairytales, and ghost stories, but he’s interested in horror and monsters as metaphor, and as a means to “digest some of the bullshit we all see nowadays in the news,” he says. “When you look back at some older films, such as ‘Night of the Living Dead’ — that’s not really about zombies. Horror is an interesting genre, because you have a monster or some sort of creature, and you either defeat it or it takes you out.”

THEATER | ‘DRACULA’ On the surface, Bram Stoker’s gothic horror “Dracula” presents a battle between good and evil. But shades of gray lurk and tug at the mind — the damned vampire is a seductive creature if a terrifyingly alien one, and the book is rife with moralizing ideas about women’s purity. In the 120 years since Stoker wrote the book, the vampire story has been reinterpreted and performed countless times. And many modern writers have all but taken the teeth out of them; inscrutable monsters have become complicated, undead boyfriends. But PUSH Physical Theatre is bringing the seductive danger back with its revamped adaptation of “Dracula,” which premieres on Halloween night at Blackfriars. The show has four collaborating directors: Blackfriars Theatre’s Artistic and Managing Director Danny Hoskins (who wrote the original adaptation and played Renfield in 2009), Wallbyrd Theatre Company Artistic Director Virginia Monte, and PUSH Artistic Directors Darren and Heather Stevenson (who will reprise their roles as Dracula and The Maiden). Jonathan Ntheketha will provide the Voice of Dracula. PUSH has resurrected the bones of its original adaptation, which is told from the perspective of mad, tortured Renfield (Rick Staropoli). The company is known for its preternatural physical prowess, and from glimpses of the production in the teaser trailer, their skills translate fantastically into supernatural and seductive terror. And the entire focus of the show is on bodies, light, and shadow play — props such as beds and desks are formed by the performers. Although the production contains no nudity, profanity, gore, or sex, the company disclaims that it entails stylized violence, themes of lust, and may not be suitable for young children. If it were a film, it’d be PG-13, they say. “Dracula” is on stage October 31 through November 12, with performances on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturday, November 4, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, November 11, at 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m. The November 5 performance will be followed by Sunday Salon.

[ INTRODUCTION ]

Welcome

NECRONOMICITY NEWS Welcome, our dear CITY readers, to the terrifying conclusion of Best of Rochester 2017. We hope you weren’t driven mad waiting for the results. The last couple of months have been harrowing; CITY’s Best of Rochester readers’ poll is an exercise in insanity, where we ask your opinion in 100 categories. More than 14,000 ghouls took part in this year’s final poll. Each week, CITY tells you what we think about the Flower City, and this poll is a chance for you to add your scream — ahem … your voice to the conversation. But we hope that discussion doesn’t stop with this special issue. Rochester is a big city waiting to be explored, and sitting right here is a guide to close to 400 recommendations — for everything from the best Mediterranean restaurants to the best places to get tattooed — offered up by your fellow Rochesterians. Hold on to this issue. Pull it out when you’re looking for a new restaurant for a date night; or use it during the summer when you want to soak up some sun during an

outdoor festival after the long, dreary winter. We are all guilty of sticking to our favorites, but we shouldn’t damn ourselves to the familiar. We hope you’ll find something in these results that might make you want to venture into new realms. In addition to the readers’ poll, this Best of issue also contains a collection of our readers’ funnier answers to the primary ballot as well as our annual critics’ picks. This year, Frank De Blase, Amanda Fintak, Tim Macaluso, Jeremy Moule, Scott Pukos, Rebecca Rafferty, and Nicole VanDenBergh all offer their blasphemous screeds. And when you need to commune with the dead, look to reader recommendations for their favorite cemetery. If you would like to sound off on our readers’ poll, have a good idea for a category, or have any feedback at all, comment on this article at rochestercitynewspaper. com, email us at themail@rochester-citynews.com, or find us on Twitter and Instagram (@roccitynews) and Facebook (facebook.com/CityNewspaper).

OUR PROCESS

CITY’s annual Best of Rochester poll is a readers’ poll, meaning all of the finalists, and the winners, were chosen solely by our readers. CITY Newspaper operates only as a tabulator and gatekeeper. The open primary ballot, which is refined every year based on editorial recommendations and reader suggestions in order to improve the survey, opened Wednesday, August 23, and ran through Friday, September 15. Survey-takers wrote in whatever people, places, and things they thought were the best in each of the 100 categories. A team of CITY employees then got together in a marathon, 8-hour session to go through and count the literally thousands of responses for the top four — or more, on occasion, if a tie occurs — most-nominated in each category. We disqualify votes only if they’re for a chain not headquartered in Rochester, don’t fit the category, or are clearly the result of ballot stuffing. The Final 4 were then put on the final ballot, which ran Wednesday, September 20, through Friday, October 13, readers voted, and the winners were kept secret until this Best of Rochester issue. Have any questions about how we conduct our Best of Rochester poll? Feel free to email us at themail@rochester-citynews. com or tweet us, @roccitynews.

Imagine the love-child of beer pong and cornhole and you’ve got Bru-Bag. While it sounds like something you’d get from a quirky Amazon seller, it’s actually made in Rochester by two laid-back guys. The “classic” set includes two game boards, two sets of bags, a carrying bag, and a copy of the rules. Remove the drinking element and the game can be made wholesome for the family — but Bru-Bag’s natural setting is with a sixpack at a tailgate or bonfire.

STRANGE BUT EFFECTIVE MARKETING PLOY

THE ROCHESTER PLATES To celebrate the 100th birthday of Nick Tahou’s Hots, the Rochester Red Wings, on August 10, became the Rochester Plates. The promotion was originally only for a day, but the hype surrounding it really took off. That’s unsurprising — talk to any Rochesterian for more than two minutes and you’re bound to hear about the infamous artery-clogging plate — and a whopping 13,281 people attended the celebratory game. That’s the second-largest crowd to show up during a regularseason game at Frontier Field, and probably accounts for a large chunk of change in Plates jerseys and merchandise. There were also massive lines to get garbage plates, including from Nick Tahou’s, during the game. (You know you can buy those anytime, right?) The promotion worked so well, the Red Wings will play as the Plates at every Thursday home game in the 2018 season.

GOODS & SERVICES NYS CELEBRITY BREAK-UP

CELLINO & BARNES

After around 25 years of partnership, Ross Cellino Jr. filed for “divorce” from Stephen Barnes earlier this year. The personal injury attorneys have had some trouble negotiating the separation, though. Cellino’s lawyer stated that “Barnes has become so poisoned, that the two really cannot work together anymore,” and that he has grown aggressively paranoid and “dictatorial.” Barnes countered that Cellino has engaged in some shady, wrongful conduct. So far they have only been able to dissolve one office, in California, and trials to decide who gets Buffalo, Rochester, and New York City law firms begin in May 2018. Still, Cellino can celebrate a small victory, as he did get the ubiquitous (800) 888-8888 hotline number in the divorce proceedings. Whatever happens, the personal injury firm’s cutthroat advertising will continue to haunt our brains with that “Don’t wait, call 8” jingle and their somewhat creepy, menacing smiles on billboards all over New York State. — BY AMANDA FINTAK

SIMPLE, JOYFUL ART

GOOGLY EYES OF ROCHESTER A mystery Rochester street artist doesn’t offer satirical

jabs or political commentary, but instead utilizes an unconventional tool: googly eyes. These plastic pupils turn a boring fire hydrant into a funny, bizarro Minion. They transform a bike rack outside of Hart’s into your wacky buddy, and a park bench on East Avenue into your watchful ally. The person behind the Instagram account (@rochestergooglyeyes) often places a pair of googly eyes outside area businesses, which is a coy way to support some key Rochester’s locations. But most importantly, this simple act introduces goofiness into the lives of Rochesterians. And that’s always welcome.

uring our primary ballot, we asked, “What is your favorite thing in Rochester and why?” and we got a lot of great answers. Here are our top five reader submissions. “My favorite thing is Wegmans. I moved back here from Denver to be near Wegmans. I left my boyfriend for Wegmans.” “Rexpo: Species diversity, they got it. For herpers, by herpers.” “That it is small enough to go anywhere and run into an old friend and large enough to go anywhere and make a new friend.” “I love Rochester’s history and what seems to be a percolating comeback story underfoot. I love that it’s small enough that I can make a real difference and cultivate a valuable network, and big enough that I feel connected to the world.” “My favorite thing in Rochester is the mega-flock of crows that comes through every fall and how [upset] everyone gets about trying to chase them off when they always leave on their own after a few months.”

GOING WITH THE TREND IDEA THAT BACKFIRED

JAZZ FESTIVAL LIGHT-UP FIDGET SPINNERS Look, I like fidget spinners. One lives on my desk. And on those days where nervous energy consumes me, or when the words just don’t want to get out of my head and onto my screen, I spin the thing around by its center or by one of the sealed bearings laid into its three points. The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival knew what it was doing when it handed out the trendy fidget toys. In fact, they had one hell of an item to offer: a spinner illuminated by LED lights, and when connected by a USB cable to a phone or some other device, could play music through a speaker. These spinners were quite ambitious little devices, but the concept flew a little too close to the sun. Jazz Fest organizers received reports that one festivalgoer’s light-up, spinny boom box got so hot that it charred. Organizers did the responsible thing and recalled the trinkets, but that means ultimately, they’re the ones who got burned. — BY JEREMY MOULE

ROCHESTER MOUSTACHE

DANIEL ARMBRUSTER In its linear, pencil-thin, meticulously trimmed precision, Daniel

Armbruster’s moustache has me in rapt attention. Similar after-market nose neighbors have graced the faces of “The Thin Man’s” William Powell and sin man John Waters, but those two examples were due to Hollywood fashion mores or sleazy irony. The moustache a little south of the nose on the Joywave front man is a thing of classic beauty, talent, and mystery. Dig this: Armbruster’s moustache can make a good bloody Mary, hide Easter eggs, quote Spillane verbatim, wrestle a bear, and store one terabyte of music. It is a friend to all. It’s a bigger rock star than Lou Gramm. So, if you’re looking for a moustache to revere or to be your guide, look no further than Armbruster’s sharp moustache as it leads the Joywave parade to your soul. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

UNSUNG HEROES

ROCHESTER STREET MEDIC COLLECTIVE Street medics play a quiet but important role worldwide. They’re volunteers trained to offer first aid to people injured at protests and marches, but they have a general concern for community health and keeping people around them safe at all times. As of last summer, Rochester has its own organized collective of street medics. Organizing member Hannah Brown says there is a core team of 15 people who have each completed 20 hours or more in training. And there’s a rotating group of about 100 people who participate in monthly meetings, organized by the collective, that offer free training in things like CPR, suturing, verbal de-escalation, sexual and reproductive health, and certification to administer Narcan or Naloxone, which can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Brown cites the Black Panther Party as inspiring pioneers in free public health, with their vaccination and free breakfast programs. Modern medics often travel to assist in

disaster relief; street medics were the first to administer aid to those injured by James Fields’ car at the Charlottesville rally. Locally, a street medic last August saw a car pulled over on I-90 and discovered the driver was in cardiac arrest and not breathing. “They were able to deliver CPR until EMS got there, so they actually saved that person’s life,” Brown says. “It’s really something you can carry with you wherever you go.” You don’t have to be an activist or politically-inclined to participate, Brown says. “We just want the information to be out there, because we want people to be healthy.” Rochester Street Medic Collective free skill-share meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Flying Squirrel Community Space (285 Clarissa Street). facebook.com/RocStreetMedics. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

ART | ‘TREE HUGS’ Pen and ink artist Kristina Hutch Matthews’ lovely new body of work depicts anthropomorphized arbor. At a glance the finely detailed illustrations appear to be portraits of gnarled and knotty trees, but they quickly become dryads, folding their limbs around one another in tender embraces, firmly rooted and adorned by vine diadems, flowers, and leaves. The work will be exhibited in “Tree Hugs: A Celebration of the Wisdom and Healing Energy of Trees as a Guide for Humanity,” opening at Penfield Arts Center’s RepARTee Gallery (2131 Fire Mile Line Road), on Wednesday, October 25, with a reception at 6 p.m. The show also includes a guided meditative tour by Matthews, accompanied by Mike Mattice’s musical responses to the art. “Tree Hugs” continues through December 14. Gallery hours are Thursday and Friday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 764-3493.

THEATER | FESTIVAL OF NEW THEATRE Geva’s annual Festival of New Theatre is a good opportunity for Rochester theater lovers to get a peek behind the playwright’s and actor’s processes, and have a first look at new works — and maybe even contribute to a play’s development. Running through Sunday, November 5, FONT 2017 will host play readings, playwright discussions, a young writers showcase, and a writing challenge. FONT 2017 starts Wednesday, October 25, (7 p.m.) with a reading of Dorothy Fortenberry’s “The Lotus Paradox,” about a children’s book author facing new questions about her family and art. Other readings include a young writers showcase on Saturday, October 28, and Sunday, October 29, (3 p.m.) of six plays written by Rochester writers ages 13 to 18; “Alexandria,” written by Jeffrey W. Jones and directed by Jean Gordon Ryon, on Wednesday, November 1 (7 p.m.); and “The Dust People,” written by Catherine Treischmann, on Sunday, November 5 (7 p.m.). Geva Literary Director Jenni Werner will host “The Author’s Voice” conversations with Gabriel Jason Dean — whose “Heartland” will be onstage at Geva in March — on Thursday, October 26 (7 p.m.), and with Catherine Treischmann on Saturday, November 4 (7 p.m.). And on Saturday, October 28 (7 p.m.), several playwrights will present the results of a “Rochester Suffrage Bake-Off”: a challenge to write something new within three days inspired by the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in New York State. FONT 2017 has been dedicated to Dee Kamp, a long-time Geva volunteer. The Festival of New Theatre takes place on the Fielding Stage at Geva Theatre Center (75 Woodbury Boulevard).

THEATER | ‘ECHOES’ N. Richard Nash’s “Echoes” is a fairly bare production: The story is written for three actors and usually performed with meager setting. That stripped-down nature, though, prompts the audience — along with its characters — to question the reality and illusion within the play. A young man and woman are confined to an asylum, and kept watch over by a silent psychiatrist, “The Person.” As their time together passes with “pretend” games, like decorating Christmas trees that aren’t there, they build a sort of paradise together, which becomes endangered when the outside world starts to intrude. Directed by Wayne Alan Dunbar and featuring actors Stephanie Roosa, Paul Vincent, and Nancy Berg. “Echoes” is the first mainstage production of Out of Pocket’s 10th season. “Echoes” will be performed Thursday, October 26, through Sunday, October 29, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday; 1 p.m. on Sunday. $13-$18 advance; $15-$20 at the door.

Democratic races

obtainable solutions. On development: He praises city officials for spurring development in areas where it hasn’t happened before. He wants the city to identify and offer incentives for small businesses and to make sure that new development doesn’t lead to gentrification. He likes the RBTL proposal for Parcel 5 but also wants development to provide some green space for outdoor activities. And he wants Parcel 5 development to include “a community piece so that the inner city is not left out of the picture.” Other issues: He suggests that the city should provide more support for entrepreneurs and other small-business people, should create a faith-based initiatives program, and should host mental-health fairs.

continues from page 7

On the city’s role in fighting poverty: He says the city should be willing to take bold steps to generate jobs. In particular, he wants Council to focus on the permit process, fees, and zoning, to encourage rather than discourage business development. He says the city needs to have more neighborhood areas zoned for mixed use to provide accessible retail, services, and jobs for city residents. He is also concerned about the amount the city pays on interest, which he says could be spent on essential programs. And to increase accountability of public officials, he proposes having term limits for elected city officials and replacing the five at-large Council members with additional district council members. His campaign website: hollister4council.com. Mary Lupien, Working Families Party: An activist who has had extensive community involvement, she’s a community organizer for the climate-action group Mothers Out Front, is former program director at St. Peter’s Kitchen, and worked on the local Bernie Sanders campaign. She is a substitute teacher with the Rochester school district and lives in the Beechwood neighborhood. Her concerns about the current administration: She says money seems to influence important decisions and the city needs to better engage with residents and neighborhoods. On police oversight: She says the current system doesn’t work and that it lacks accountability. She supports independent civilian oversight. On downtown development: She likes some of the city’s development plans, particularly plans for Charles Carroll Park along the river. But she is concerned about the large amount of expensive new housing under way. She wants the city to stop providing tax breaks for high-end residential development. And the city should require developers to provide bike racks and trees to encourage biking and make downtown more attractive, Lupien says. She wants the city to start over with finding a developer for Parcel 5 and she doesn’t think an RBTL theater will provide the jobs or the business boost that its supporters anticipate. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: Every decision city government makes impacts people who live in poverty, she says, including development and transportation planning. The anti-poverty initiative needs better transparency and better communication with the public, she says. Among her other interests: promoting a comprehensive transportation plan with more support for bikes; promoting efforts to support the environment. Lupien’s campaign website: lupien.com. Ronald R. Ring, Green Party: Attempts to reach Ring for information about his candidacy were unsuccessful, and he does not have a campaign website.

Familiar faces seeking a seat on City Council

Malik Evans, Democratic and Working Families

Parties: Evans, an executive with ESL, hopes to move to Council from the Rochester school board, where he’s served since 2004 and was president from 2008 to 2013. He has been active in numerous community organizations, including the United Way, Prevention Partners, Catholic Family Center, and the Rochester Area Community Foundation. He lives in the Cobbs Hill neighborhood. On police oversight: He says the city’s oversight process must instill confidence, and currently it doesn’t. An independent accountability board could be good for both citizens and police, he says, and the city should study successful models in other parts of the country. On downtown development: He wants the city to focus on both large and small developments and says that if developers promise job creation, government should hold them to that promise or claw back the benefits. And city officials should ask not only how many jobs each project will create but also how each one will improve the lives of the citizens of Rochester. New housing should include not only high-end condos but also housing for low-, moderate-, and middleincome residents, he says.

He’s undecided about proposals for Parcel 5 but says that while he would like some of it devoted to green space, it must have development that produces jobs and revenue. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: He praises the anti-poverty effort for “moving the conversation” and pushing training. He emphasizes job training and creation of goodpaying jobs. His campaign website: malikevans.org. Willie Joe Lightfoot, Democratic Party: A

Rochester firefighter and small business owner, Lightfoot served on the County Legislature for 10 years and is the son of the late County Legislator and prominent Democrat Willie Lightfoot. He’s a resident of the 19th Ward and has been extensively involved in community work in the city’s southwest area. On police oversight: The current system doesn’t work, he says. He supports an independent review board with subpoena power. It’s essential, he says, to restoring faith in the police. On the city’s role in fighting poverty: He likes the concept of the anti-poverty initiative but says City Council should be more involved, seeking input from the public and finding successful solutions to problems raised by the public. People want to be involved, he says, and they want results. The city should seek simple,

Jackie Ortiz, Democratic, Working Families, Independence, and Women’s Equality Parties: The only Latinx on City Council, she has been an at-large Council member since 2010. She’s been active in numerous Latinx community organizations and events and is a mentor with the Red Cross Youth Leadership Development Program. She’s a State Farm insurance agent and lives in Charlotte. She chairs City Council’s Neighborhood and Community Development Committees and chairs an ad hoc education committee of representatives of Council, the Rochester school board, and the county. On Council, she has pushed for stronger action on vacant and abandoned properties, pushed for the creation of a land bank to help low-and moderate-income people buy foreclosed property, pushed for a landlord registry to ensure that city officials know who owns rental property, and has pushed for an overhaul of the city’s nuisance-points system. Her campaign website: ortizforcitycouncil.com. Loretta Scott, Democratic and Women’s

Equality Parties: A City Council member with deep experience in both elected office and city government administration, Scott has been on Council since 2010 and has been president since 2014. She served as the city’s commissioner of parks, recreation, and human services from 1992 to 2005. Her extensive community involvement includes serving as board chair of the Jordan Health Center, vice chair of Alternatives for Battered Women (now called Willow Center), founding member of the Greater Rochester After School Alliance and the African American Leadership Development Program, and board member of the Landmark Society, Action for a Better Community, and the United Way. She and her husband operate Scott Professional Cleaning Services, and they live in the Browncroft neighborhood. On Council, she supported police body cameras, and she has been shepherding legislation related to reviewing the city’s current police oversight system. She has been a strong supporter of Mayor Lovely Warren. Her campaign Facebook page: facebook.com/ CouncilmemberLorettaScott. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 49

Proudly Serving Rochester’s Finest Selection of Tequilas!!

A state of childhood “Breathe” way to Switzerland in the early 1970’s. A growing dissatisfaction with domestic life drives Nora (an excellent Marie Leuenberger) to start campaigning for an upcoming ballot initiative set to determine whether Swiss women will gain the right to vote. She and her friends face an uphill battle changing hearts and minds in their conservative village, but find power in the new community they form. (Thursday, November 2; 7 p.m.; Little 1) The inspiring documentary “Seeing Is Believing: Women Direct” finds actressturned-director Cady McClain interviewing some of her fellow working female directors, delving into their experiences as women in a male-dominated industry. It’s a film that speaks directly to the mission of High Falls and offers a fascinating look into the careers of several talented women. A Q&A with McClain will follow. (Thursday, November 2; 8:30 p.m.; Little 5) In “It’s Criminal,” a class of Dartmouth College students and a group of incarcerated women work together to create and perform an original play inspired by the experiences that led the women to be behind bars. At first, the sheltered students express apprehension and fear about interacting with convicted criminals, but as they spend more time together, the two groups of women forge a powerful connection. A Q&A with director Signe Taylor will follow the screening. (Saturday, November 4; 5 p.m.; Little 5) A horror-obsessed preteen upends her older sister’s nuptials in the good-natured indie comedy “Zilla and Zoe.” Attempting to give his daughter something to focus her camera on other than her uniquely homemade gore effects, Zoe’s father suggests she document her sister Zilla and her girlfriend as they plan their upcoming

wedding. But determined to meet the deadline for a horror movie competition, Zoe decides that the solution is to inject a bit of horror into the process and film the results — with some unintended consequences. The film sometimes goes a bit overboard with the forced wackiness of its premise, but it’s ultimately a sweet story about familial love and acceptance. (Sunday, November 5; 2:15 p.m.; Little 1) A deeply emotional character study, “The Light of the Moon” follows Bonnie (Stephanie Beatriz of “Brooklyn 99” and “Short Term 12”), a young woman dealing with the aftermath of her rape at the hands of a stranger. With her first feature, writer-director Jessica M. Thompson deals sensitively and honestly with an intensely difficult subject, without ever feeling exploitative. Rather than dwelling on the criminal investigation, Thompson focuses on the painful process Bonnie faces in repairing her life and attempting to find some way back to normalcy. She’s alternately helped and hindered by her boyfriend (Michael Stahl-David), who overcompensates for his feelings of guilt over leaving her on her own that night. Beatriz is fantastic portraying Bonnie’s swirling feelings of anger, anxiety, guilt, and frustration as the assault colors every aspect of her personal relationships. Empathetic and insightful, Thompson’s film powerfully illustrates that there’s no set path in recovering from trauma. (Sunday, November 5; 7:30 p.m.; Little 5) Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com beginning Friday and through next week for more film coverage, including interviews with High Falls participating filmmakers Cady McClain, Signe Taylor, and Jessica Scalise.

(PG-13), DIRECTED BY ANDY SERKIS NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Marking the directorial debut of performer Andy Serkis, “Breathe” is a breezy period romance recounting the true story of plucky Brit Robin Cavendish (Andrew Garfield), who at 28 was stricken with Polio, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe on his own. The doctor’s prognosis gives him only a few months to live, time which he’ll spend permanently attached to a ventilator and confined to hospital bed. But that’s not entirely how things worked out. With the support of his unflappable wife, Diana (Claire Foy, “The Crown”), whom he’d only

recently married after a whirlwind courtship, and the assistance of a helpful inventor friend, Cavendish is able to devise means to live a full life, from a special wheelchair to a mobile ventilator that keep him from being confined to a hospital. This increased ability allows him to become a tireless advocate for disability rights. Strong performances from Garfield and Foy keep things from getting too sentimental, and the script by William Nicholson aims strictly for feelgood uplift (the film is produced by Cavendish’s son Jonathan). As a result, the sun-drenched “Breathe” is more light and jovial than you’d typically expect for this type of story. Its plucky tone captures the adventurous spirit that allowed Cavendish to go through most of his life with a delighted smile on his face.

When most people think of historic city homes they think big, but do they think really big? It’s rare to find a house with over 3,000 square feet of living space at a pleasant price point. That’s exactly what 1890 Culver Road offers: a rare opportunity to own a lot of space in the city at a reasonable price. The enclosed porch at the front of the house leads to an entryway with a remodeled powder room, perfect for guest use. Head through an original wood door with a leaded glass window into the massive living room. Airy and open, this space is bright and welcoming, thanks to the light streaming through the large, stained-wood bay window. The window is oriented to shine onto the brick fireplace that functions as the centerpiece. Simple built-in shelves to the left of the fireplace offer balance to the room, and a space to display your photos, books, and other treasures. The large entranceway to the dining room is located to the right of the fireplace. Although carpeting stretches across these great spaces, hardwoods are waiting to be revealed underneath. A full side porch is accessible from both rooms via folding wood doors, providing the homeowner with a system of interlocking entertaining spaces, perfect for large gatherings. A wellsized kitchen completes the downstairs space, and includes a bonus pantry area that doubles as the laundry room. Crown molding is featured throughout the first floor. Another leaded-glass window lights

the way upstairs. The master bedroom mimics the living room directly below it, including a twin version of the side porch. This room offers a blank canvas to create a dream master suite and includes a unique bathroom. Two more bedrooms and a neutral full bath are available on the second floor, with additional living space in the third floor attic. The theme of ample space in the city also extends to this home’s lot. In addition to the two-car garage and a garden shed, the backyard offers space to play and an open footprint for a patio or deck and gardens galore. This home is in a central location that makes it easy to access points in every direction.

Alien Invasion

Bryant Johnson of Casper, Wyoming, was on a mission on Oct. 2 when police responded to a call about a man warning citizens of an alien invasion coming next year. KTWO Radio in Casper reported that Johnson told police he had traveled back in time from 2048, explaining that the aliens filled his body with alcohol and had him stand on a giant pad that transported him back to 2017 — although he was supposed to arrive in 2018. He also asked to speak with the “president of the town.” Instead, Bryant was arrested for public intoxication.

Farm Animals Gone Wild

The owners of a mischievous ass in Vogelsberg, Hesse, Germany, have been ordered to pay for damages after Vitus the donkey apparently mistook an orange McLaren Spider sports car for a carrot. When Markus Zahn left his $411,000 car parked next to a paddock on Sept. 16, 2016, he returned to find that Vitus had nibbled on its paint to the tune of almost $7,000 in damage. “The donkey had insurance, but the insurance didn’t want to pay,” Zahn told the BBC. Vitus’s rap sheet also includes biting a Mercedes.

Oops!

In Romania, it takes more than foul weather or a damaged field to stop football. On Sept. 24, a match between Bistrita Brosteni and Vanatorul Dorna Candrenilor was abandoned just 58 minutes in after all the teams’ balls ended up in the nearby Bistrita River, according to the Hindustan Times. Bistrita was winning 2-0 when they ran out of balls. Fans suggested they might find the balls at the Bicaz dam nearby.

Creeps on Parade

Samantha the intelligent sex doll suffered a number of indignities at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, in early September. Sergi Santos of Barcelona, Spain, who developed Samantha, said men at the show acted “like barbarians. Two fingers were broken. She was heavily soiled.” Samantha, who talks, is also programmed to react when someone touches her. Santos told Metro News that Samantha would have to undergo repairs and cleaning, but she “can endure a lot. She will pull through.” Metro News also reports that women in Middlesbrough, Cleveland, England, have contacted police about a mysterious man handing out provocative notes in the streets. The notes begin: “No offence intended. You are simply a female that caught my eye. ... I am looking for a possible private arrangement. If you understand my meaning.” The man has handed out several of the notes, one to a 14-year-old girl at Middlesbrough Bus Station. Her sister called the phone number at the bottom of the note and said the voice “sounded foreign.” She went on: “It made me feel a bit uncomfortable and it set off my anxiety.”

DO NOT EAT!

Doctors thought a 47-year-old postman in Preston, Lancashire, England, who complained of a persistent cough might have cancer, as he was a long-term smoker whose X-rays showed a spot on his lung. But when they removed the mass, the BBC reported, they found the “longlost Playmobil traffic cone” the patient had received as a gift on his seventh birthday. He told doctors he had regularly swallowed the small pieces as a child and believed he had inhaled the tiny cone. Happy ending: After the toy was removed, the man’s cough almost disappeared and his other symptoms improved.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 53 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll have plenty of opportunity, but in most cases your suitors’ persistence and possessiveness will keep you moving from one partner to another. Check out someone who is too busy having fun to settle down, and it will turn out to be a match made in heaven. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll fall for someone who can hold your interest, share intelligent conversations and instinctively knows what you are thinking and what you want. It’s soul mate time, so look for the partner who is a mirror image of you. The mental connection will take precedence over the physical.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Social events will bring out your flirty side. At first glance, you may overlook someone who turns out to be entertaining and can make you consider making a commitment. Before you jump in feetfirst, make a note to keep your money separate. Joint finances will crush the relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It will do you good to get out and fraternize with people from all walks of life. Someone quite unique, offering witty conversation and ample charm, will captivate you. Don’t forget to ask for a contact number or, better still, suggest getting together soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be torn between being attracted to one person physically and another mentally. When in doubt, take a pass. You have plenty of time, and settling for someone who isn’t quite right will lead to complications when someone better suited does enter your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some relationships are meant to teach us or to help us gain experience. Sometimes you are the teacher, and other times the student. Explore the possibilities with someone you find fetching but very different from you, and you will discover a lot about love,t life and equality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll attract all the wrong partners. You may want to keep the peace and make things work with someone, but if it isn’t right or you feel stifled by the connection, you are best not to lead someone on just to avoid hurting his or her feelings. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your secretive ways will cost you when it comes to personal relationships. Try to open up to the person who can offer you a straightforward and authentic approach to love. Say yes to the person who will always have your back and stand beside you no matter what.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You may end up in a bit of a romantic bind if you fall for someone at work or who isn’t available. Don’t head down a hurtful path that has the potential to put a dent in your career or, even worse, your heart. Proceed with caution. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Loosen up and let your emotions shine through. Showing your softer side will entice and prompt someone to show an interest as well as make the first move. Don’t shy away when you should be receptive and willing to take a chance on love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A desire to settle down will prompt you to get out more and actively search for someone you truly enjoy spending time with. Don’t waste your time with partners looking for a routine lifestyle. Focus on those who love to experiment as much as you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Relationships can be confusing and awkward at first. Trying to please always ends up getting you in trouble. This time, choose to be upfront about who you are and what you like instead of trying to be what someone else wants you to be. Strive for equality.
