Arab nations need to do more for refugees

There has been a lot of controversy over the last few months regarding the acceptance of immigrants and refugees from the turmoil in Syria and Iraq.

Currently, European nations are bearing the large brunt of this influx and the United States has been asked to share this burden.

There is a very wide cultural and religious gulf between the Western nations, including the US, and the refugees/migrants.

It’s appalling to me, however, that none of the rich Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have made any effort to settle these refugees, despite the closer cultural and religious ties the migrants share with these nations. These nations should be required to do their part.

Trump peddles fear

I, just like many other Hispanics, am very tenacious. We need to work just as much or even more to get to where we need or want to be in our lives.

America has dealt with a lot since 9/11. But since then, there has been this unnecessary fear being built off of stereotypes of people from around the world. Many of the reasons why Trump is getting votes are because of fear. He says things that people “want to hear.” He wants to make a wall on the US-Mexico border.

Trump won’t get my vote in November. He won the Latino vote in Nevada, but that’s only representative of a small number of Latino voters in that state and the country.

So when Trump says “I won over Hispanics,” it is far from accurate.

Trump says that he will make America great. America is great.

It will always be great.

Unfortunately, we face issues such as the threat of ISIS and law enforcement using excessive force.

Trump uses these things to convince people that he can save them.

Can he practice what he preaches? Is he ready for the responsibility of this country and its citizens? Is he willing to sacrifice to help those in need? Is he willing to base his decisions on the best interest of the citizens?

Will he be able to live with a decision that may change people’s lives or ruin them?

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Is it possible to make America whole again?

Maybe, somewhere, the most rabid, partisan Democrat is celebrating, but there’s no cause for joy, for anybody, anywhere in this country.

What is happening in the Republican Party right now is embarrassing.

And horribly destructive.

As we prepare to elect someone to the country’s highest office, someone who will be among the world’s most powerful leaders, three of the Republican Party’s four remaining candidates are making a laughing stock of the nation. Their grade-school taunts reached a stunning peak recently when (in events that were televised and remain available online, permanently, for all the world to see), Marco Rubio suggested that Donald Trump has small hands and, thus, a small “male appendage,” as a New York Times writer put it. And that he may have peed in his pants during a debate.

And some days later, in a nationally televised debate, Trump responded with this: “Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands: if they are small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem.

I guarantee.”

This is an example of the democracy we think the world should admire – the greatness, I guess, that Donald Trump wants to bring out in all of us.

Way back in the summer, for a brief moment, I subscribed to the media herd’s conviction that Donald Trump had no chance of being elected. Now, of course, he certainly does.

And – also “of course” – things got even more troubling this past weekend: Trump isn’t the only horror we might inflict on ourselves and the world. Ted Cruz won two of the five primaries and caucuses on Saturday and Sunday and racked up enough delegates that Rubio, who has become the presidential hope of the Republican establishment, seems likely to join John Kasich in irrelevancy.

In appearance, Cruz is a less flamboyant, more “stable” candidate than Trump.

But he would be no less of a disaster as president. He, too, is a nativist, a bully, a belligerent demagogue. His pledge to carpet-bomb enemies is no less horrifying than Trump’s swaggering.

Given how intensely Republican leaders dislike Cruz, they may soon find themselves embracing Trump. That’s how serious the damage is to the Party of Lincoln.

The bigotry and lust for violence and force that we’re seeing in the Republican presidential campaign aren’t new. They’ve

The bigotry and lust for violence and force that we’re seeing in the Republican presidential campaign aren’t new.” been brooding – and breeding – in the United States since its founding. And bigotry among elected officials has been hovering near the boiling point for years, in such cutely disguised forms as voter registration laws peddled as a protection against “voter fraud.”

In this election campaign, though, some of the Republican candidates have dispensed with subtlety. They’re saying blatantly bigoted things, urging policies that are anathema to everything this country stands for. And at campaign rallies, they’re whipping crowds into a nativist, white-supremacist frenzy. This kind of thing has threatened to tear the country apart before, and it can do it again.

The United States has serious problems and challenges. To paraphrase a confession from an Anglican prayer of penitence, we have done things we shouldn’t have done, and we’ve left undone things we should have done. Sadly, three of the Republican candidates have turned their backs on the teachings of their religion and the example of Lincoln, threatening to destroy the nation from within.

And now we seem to be headed toward a general election in which the Republican candidate will tell Americans that our future lies in fear-inspired policies of hatred and suspicion at home and swaggering belligerence abroad, and the Democratic candidate will try to appeal to what Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.”

I was glad to see Hillary Clinton adopting the slogan “Make America whole again” as a counterpoint to Donald Trump’s patriotic chest puffing. But at this point, I have no idea which side will win. Do you?

This happy dog has obviously heard about the Rochester dog park, which could get a test run as early as this spring. FILE PHOTO

City officials have narrowed down the possible sites for a pilot dog park program to start potentially in late spring or early summer. The sites under consideration are the Washington Grove area of Cobbs Hill Park, and a large chunk of city-owned land on Norton Street in northeast Rochester.

And City Council will consider legislation this month to change the city code to allow dogs to be off-leash in designated areas.

City Council member Matt Haag has been scouting sites with Chris Fitzgerald, the city’s director of animal services; Norman Jones, commissioner of environmental services; Mitch Rowe, director of buildings and parks; and other officials.

Young professionals and empty nesters are increasingly choosing to live in urban environments, Haag says, and a dog park is an expectation for many. It may even play a role in where they live, he says. The decision to

include a rooftop dog park in Tower280 downtown, the former Midtown Tower, is evidence of that trend, Haag says.

City officials are weighing factors including size, shade, parking, and proximity to homes in evaluating locations, he says, and the pilot program will probably last about six months. It hasn’t been decided whether the pilot will take place in more than one location, Haag says.

Officials have looked at other area dog parks for guidance, he says, including the parks run by Monroe County. The county has off-leash dog parks in Ellison and Greece Canal parks. Dogs must be registered members of Monroe County Dog Parks, which costs about $25 per dog annually. For that, you get a code to access the park and a tag for your dog.

The parks are self-policing, which means that the county does not staff them.

A judge ordered ExxonMobil to either clean-up 5 and 15 Flint Street or reimburse the developer for clean-up costs. A state appeals court ruled in 2013 that ExxonMobil is responsible for the historical — and extensive — pollution at the site. But ExxonMobil continued resisting responsibility for the contamination.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Judge: Oil company must clean-up site The developer who owns the former Vacuum Oil refinery on Flint Street is getting closer to cleaning up the site.

DHD Ventures owns 5 and 15 Flint Street in Rochester’s PlymouthExchange neighborhood, which are heavily contaminated by years of industrial activity on the site and on neighboring parcels. The company is working with the state to develop a plan to clean up the contaminated soil and ground water, says Alan Knauf, an attorney whose firm, Knauf Shaw, represents DHD Ventures.

Vacuum Oil was a predecessor of ExxonMobil, and a judge recently ordered that the large oil company either clean-up 5 and 15 Flint Street, or reimburse the developer for clean-up costs. A state appeals court ruled in 2013 that ExxonMobil is responsible for the historical — and extensive — pollution at the site. DHD sought the latest order after that ruling, since ExxonMobil continued resisting responsibility for the contamination.

“We’re very happy the judge ordered Exxon to step up to the plate,” Knauf says.

ExxonMobil argued that the contamination could have been caused by four 55-gallon barrels that DHD removed from the site at the state’s

urging. The barrels contained paint waste, Knauf says, and possibly some grease. And while it’s possible that some of the contents may have dripped out, he says, not nearly The former Vacuum Oil refinery in Rochester’s PLEX neighborhood has a enough could have long history of contamination.

Troubled Water(s) The Water Street Music Hall, 204 North Water Street, was forced by police last week to immediately stop holding events. The popular live music venue was denied renewal of its entertainment license because of concerns about compliance with state and local laws, police say.

A letter from Police Chief Michael Ciminelli to club owner Anthony Marsocci lists eight points of violation of city code and the Police Chief ’s Rules and Regulations. These include “failure to maintain control of the premise” on March 14, 2015, when shots were fired in the area of the establishment and “nearly struck a person standing in front of the venue,” the letter says.

Water Street Music Hall is one of Rochester’s only midsized music venues and has hosted a wide range of musical acts, including St. Vincent, The Buddhahood, and YoGotti. It has also been the venue for numerous benefit concerts. But it has been plagued with shifts in management and booking over the past couple of years.

Water Street’s owners may appeal by responding to Ciminelli’s letter within 10 days of receipt (the police chief ’s letter is dated March 1). The venue’s previous entertainment license expired on January 31, 2016, which means that it’s currently unable to host public events.

MARCH 9 - 15, 2016

University of Rochester President Joel Seligman spends much of the present thinking about the future.

He’s working on a speech titled “The Future of Rochester,” which he’ll give to the Chatterbox Club later this month. As he’s prepared the speech, he says that he’s asked himself how the community envisions itself in 10 years, how it will achieve what it wants to, how it will be different, and what challenges it will face along the way.

For Seligman, this isn’t just a thought exercise; these are the same questions that the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council, the state-convened board that he co-chairs, spent much of 2015 working on. The council developed a vision around these questions, and its subsequent plan of attack earned the region a $500 million Upstate Revitalization Initiative award from the state.

Now, council members are working to translate that vision into tangible investment, business growth, and jobs.

The council forwarded dozens of potential URI projects to state officials, who need to sign off on each so they can get funding. As 2016 rolls on, the council and state will review other possible URI projects, which will lead to regular funding announcements from state and local officials.

But the council has a lot of work ahead of it this year and its URI duties are only part of the picture. It will also go through a separate process to solicit, review, and rank applications for projects seeking state funding; it’ll work with the Rochester-Monroe AntiPoverty Initiative to get state and URI funds for poverty reduction efforts; and it’ll seek out broadband infrastructure projects for a state

program aimed at improving Internet speed and access for residents and businesses.

But the council’s workload translates to a sense of possibility for Rochester, Seligman says. It’s exciting to think about what the city could look like in 10 years, he says, especially compared to a decade ago, when downtown was dormant and the area’s big companies were shrinking. At the time, the idea that downtown could be a vibrant, exciting, revitalized hub for living and working was difficult to imagine.

Even before the URI award, Rochester showed potential for a reversal. Real estate developers made major investments in downtown and the federal government designated the Rochester region as the hub of a nationwide photonics manufacturing institute. Some big, well-placed investments in the region and the city will hasten the city’s evolution, Seligman says.

“There’s a sense that, collectively, we could actually turn this thing around,” he says.

The Finger Lakes council’s plan for the Upstate Revitalization money centers on three key industries: optics and photonics, agriculture and food production, and what it calls next-generation manufacturing and technology. The latter includes hightech manufacturing, such as the software, computing, and medical technology firms that are clustering in downtown Rochester.

The URI is a five-year program, so the region will draw around $100 million a year for various projects.

For the most part, the Finger Lakes region’s URI funding hasn’t been attached to specific projects. But the council’s plan identifies a handful of potential investments, including a solar technology factory code-named Project

Eagle that’s planned for Alabama, Genesee County. The state took the wraps off of the project this past fall, revealing that 1366 Technologies plans to set up a large facility to manufacture silicon wafers for solar cells.

The company plans to invest $100 million initially and could invest as much as $700 million over time. But the Genesee County Economic Development Center, the county’s economic development agency, is paying to put up the 1366 Technologies building, which it’ll then lease to the company for 10 years. Some of the project’s costs — the company is also receiving state and local tax incentives — will likely come from the URI award.

The revitalization funding will largely take the form of grants, but those can be paired with other state funding sources and incentives — including tax credits — to encourage private investment.

“We’re working out exactly what incentive is going to come from what funding source,” Vinnie Esposito says. “I think it’s likely that some of it will come from the URI, some of it will not. But that will be announced.” Esposito is Finger Lakes regional director of Empire State Development and executive director of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council.

In a way, 1366 Technologies is a model for how state and local officials say they want the URI process to work: officials saw an opportunity for public support to lead to large private investment and potentially hundreds of jobs. The timing was weird, though, since the project was ready to move forward before the state said which regions would receive URI awards. But state officials say they want to see that sort of flexibility from the regional council; they want economic development

leaders to seize opportunities as they occur.

Other investments, some of them down the road a bit, could include an expansion of University of Rochester’s laser lab, an ecobrewing district anchored by the Genesee Brewery, a photonics manufacturing facility, and a Sweetwater Energy biorefinery at Eastman Business Park.

As it reviews other potential projects, the council will consider factors such as job creation, the amount of outside investment, and whether the project meets other stated goals, such as providing job opportunities for hard-to-place workers. Generally, the state wants projects that will create a substantial amount of

jobs and have at least $5 in private investment for every $1 of state funding.

The Finger Lakes council’s plan also places heavy emphasis on poverty reduction efforts, setting aside $100 million for those programs.

Some of the money will be invested in workforce development programs, though no specific awards for specific projects have been approved yet. But the plan also states directly that some of the $100 million will be used to advance key goals of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative.

Officials with the initiative are developing proposals and strategies to take to the council,

and will submit applications for funding. But they have an idea of at least some of the efforts they want to pursue, and they know that they want to pilot them in the EMMA-Beechwood neighborhoods and Marketview Heights.

They want to use some of the funding to improve access to day care subsidies for working parents and home visitation services for new parents, both of which are important early childhood programs. They say that they hope that by boosting those programs, they may be able to convince some employers that there’s value in providing those services for their employees and for their bottom lines, not unlike health

insurance, says Leonard Brock, director of the Anti-Poverty Initiative.

The initiative has also focused on improving how services are provided. Officials want to find ways to concentrate key services, including social work, job coaching, and adult mentoring in community hubs, such as schools.

“We have a lot of disparate efforts,” Brock says. “You may have programs and services on one side of town that [don’t] necessarily exist on the other side of town. So this is an opportunity for us to kind of streamline and concentrate our resources within two neighborhoods. And with that, it becomes an actual system that still needs to be coordinated and aligned.”

Pub blossoms on Winton [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

After three months of renovations, the Blossom Road Pub has opened at 198 North Winton Road at the location formerly occupied by Winton Bar & Grill. Coowners Drew Nye, Marcus Lenear, Maurice Kusminsky, and Max Gordon took over the spot and did all of the renovations themselves.

Nye and Kusminsky own Roam Café on Park Avenue and Gordon and Lenear met while working at Black & Blue in Pittsford.

The owners gutted the bar and kitchen areas, redid the floors and walls, and built a brand new bar and kitchen. “We wanted to go for an old school, classic, pub look,” Gordon says. Even though Nye and Kusminsky also own Roam Café, the Blossom Road Pub’s menu is brand new. It features upscale pub food that allows for the quality of ingredients to shine. A large chalkboard will feature nightly specials and rotating entrees.

Gordon says the creation of the menu has been a life-changing experience for him. The pub owners are working with a vendor that acts as a middleman between local farmers and restaurant owners, in order to easily offer local and sustainable products. “It’s really opened my eyes to eating locally — I didn’t

really buy into it before,” Gordon says. “You want to feel good about what you’re eating, and just making a few changes on your menu can make a huge difference.”

You’ll find typical bar fare like nachos and a burger on the menu, but also more sophisticated items like the Braised Beef Poutine ($11) or the pub’s Signature Philly Cheese Steak ($11 for beef, $9 for chicken) topped with sautéed onions, peppers, and cheddar-jack cheese. The pub has also joined the meatball slider game; the menu has options for beef, pork, or chicken ($12 for a choice of three). A Veggie Reuben ($9) made with mushrooms, spinach, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Thousand Island dressing served on grilled rye bread is also available.

CHAPTER

Writers & Books founder and executive director, Joe Flaherty PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN 10 CITY MARCH 9 - 15, 2016

[ LITERATURE FEATURE ]

BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Writers & Books founder Joe Flaherty retires as the literary organization celebrates 35 years.

J

oe Flaherty founded Rochester’s community-based literary organization Writers & Books in 1980, and has since served as its only director. But he’s retiring in June, and Writers & Books is in the midst of a nation-wide search for a replacement who will guide the organization into the future.

Before Writers & Books was established as a storefront in 1980, Flaherty traveled the East Coast and Midwest states in a bus filled with books, promoting and selling the work of contemporary authors. This adventure was born from a lifelong love of literature.

“I was a really avid reader,” Flaherty says.

“Books were everything to me when I was growing up.”

Flaherty spent his youth until 12th grade in an orphanage. “I just read, constantly, everything I could get ahold of,” he says.

When he was in the ninth grade, Flaherty came across J.D. Salinger’s book, “The Catcher in the Rye.” He was a baseball fan, and mistook the title for a book about the game. The story resonated powerfully with him, but his teacher told him he was too young to be reading it.

“I remember thinking, ‘this is the most important book I’ve ever read,’” Flaherty says, his expression turning incredulous at the recollection. It became clear to him at that tender age that books would be his most powerful teachers.

Following a natural progression, Flaherty studied English in college, and enjoyed conversing about literature with fellow students outside of the classroom. He took a photography course in his senior year, and was hooked. Flaherty came to Rochester to study at Visual Studies Workshop, where he earned an MFA in Photography.

He left Rochester after finishing to work for the publisher Aperture Magazine and Books in Millerton, New York.

Aperture was part of a consortium of other small publishers, and Flaherty spent time browsing the warehouse of books on lunch breaks.

“I discovered all of these fantastic writers I’d never heard of,” even as an English major, he says. “But so much of English, especially at that point, was looking backwards at 19th and early-20th century writers, as though nothing past the 1920’s was of any value.”

With a new interest on contemporary writers, Flaherty in 1975 established the Book Bus, which he envisioned as a way to provide exposure to new authors by bringing their books to small towns.

“The drive behind it was that people throughout the country should have access to the arts, they shouldn’t have to go to New York City or another big city,” he says. “Luckily, that was a time when you could do that, because the New York State

Council on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts had just got going, so suddenly there was public funding for the arts.”

The bus traveled from Maine down throughout New York State and New Jersey, through Maryland and D.C., West Virginia and Ohio, hitting college campuses and book fairs, and in the summer, crafts and music festivals. Flaherty would park and encourage people to come aboard the bus and browse, discuss, and buy books. He coordinated talks and readings with authors on campuses, and began inviting writers to travel with him and his partner (now wife) Liz. “As a result of the arts funding, and the drive to have arts accessible in small towns and medium-sized cities, there were all of these arts organizations getting going,” he says. “You’d find alternative art spaces, other than big museums, showing contemporary artists. You’d see dance companies and theatre companies getting going. Music groups. All of these things started boiling and it was fantastic.”

But Flaherty didn’t see any literatureoriented spaces popping up. Through his work coordinating readings, he had also gained an appreciation for the performance aspect of literature. Before long, he realized he wanted to settle in one place and start a community literary organization.

Before Writers & Books was founded in 1980, Flaherty traveled in The Book Bus, promoting and selling books by contemporary authors. PHOTO PROVIDED

“Joe is an ideas man,” says Chris Fanning,

public relations associate at Writers & Books, who has been with the organization since interning there in 2006. “He can see his vision for a project laid out before any of the raw materials are there.”

Flaherty came back to Rochester because of his connection to VSW, but he was also inspired by the fact that the organization was, despite being part of the SUNY system, nestled within a community setting.

In late 1980, Writers & Books opened as a one-room storefront on South Clinton Avenue. In addition to functioning as a bookstore for small presses, “we started bringing in authors for readings and had classes, but we could only do one thing at a time,” Flaherty says. “We also gave local writers the chance to read, and meet each other.”

The endeavor was well-received, and the organization began to get requests from the community that led to authors reading at local schools and summer writing programs for kids — the latter of which has grown from 20 participants in the beginning to more than 600 kids that enroll in Writers & Books SummerWrite programming today.

In 1985, Writers & Books moved to its current location on University Avenue, into what had formerly been a police station, then a police athletic league. Most recently, the space housed All of Us Art Workshop, a cooperative arts space that offered space to a ceramics studio, Garth Fagan Dance, and a glass-blowing center, among others. But in 1984, the space’s director took another job and the workshop folded.

Madeleine McQueen projects spiritually and soulfully with a beguiling innocence and resolve over a bed of pop-rock splendor and sparkle. But it’s far from fluffy; the songs are beautifully crafted and delivered. Proof: McQueen and her band, The Breeze, have recently dropped “Entangled,” a pop-rock gem that moves from a whisper to a scream dynamically covering all points in between … and of course there’s that voice.

Gave me goose bumps, man; goose bumps. Swamp Trotter and Evan Meulemans will also perform.

In the pantheon that is the 12 or so albums Paul Mark has produced over the years, the man has never strayed to far from the blue notes. He’s ventured out on acoustic and assorted sonic forays, but he always comes back. Mark’s new album, “Stowaways,” somehow seems different. I don’t know, but maybe Mark isn’t coming back this time. This album is so spot-on beautiful, so cockeyed and true, I’d be happy if he stayed here for the next dozen titles.

“Stowaways” is late-night ruminations at the piano, which Mark expertly tackles with the damper pedal to the floor. He wearily sings in a wise, melancholic tone — wisdom don’t come cheap after all. It’s jazzy and profane and calls to mind Tom Waits in its gruffness and lost innocence. Paul Mark is a master storyteller so insightful and empathetic you’d swear he has been reading your mail.

Stardust Ballroom Dance Series: Nostalgic Reunion.

Rotem Sivan Trio “A New Dance” Fresh Sound New Talent rotemsivan.com

I don’t know if there are any jazz guitarists left in Israel, but there’s no shortage of them heating up the American scene. As if Gilad Hekselman, Roni Ben-Hur, and Yotam Silberstein aren’t enough, The Rotem Sivan Trio’s “A New Dance” showcases the work of another superb Israeli guitarist. Sivan studied classical composition at Tel Aviv University before moving to New York, and sharpened his skills in the bands of Peter Bernstein, Ben Street, and others. He is outstanding here with solid support from Haggai Cohen-Milo on bass, and Colin Stranahan, drums.

On his own tunes, Sivan demonstrates both technical and compositional prowess.

When he plays a standard like “Angel Eyes” he reinvents it, employing a rough, distorted style recalling Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel.” “Almond Tree,” featuring beautiful vocals by Daniel Wright, might seem out of place, but over several listens it stands out as a beautiful jewel. Whether creating textures or dancing through impossibly complex solos, the common denominator throughout the album is Sivan’s gorgeous guitar.

Seeking Monte FOR MORE ON THE BAND, VISIT FACEBOOK.COM/SEEKINGMONTE

When guitarist Lee Heberger left the band Rainline back in 2013, he took a break — bought a house, built a studio — before diving back in. No pretense, no agenda; this time the mission was nothing other than to have fun.

“I didn’t set up to do anything,” Heberger says. “I wanted to be in a band that was willing to just write — whatever comes of it — then get four or five people that get along and make it about having fun. Some bands can get really serious business-wise, and with promotion and trying to get somewhere I didn’t necessarily want to go. It was tiring. I wanted to form a new band that was about writing, recording, and having fun.”

So Heberger got to the business of fun and assembled a cast of Rochester rock ‘n’ roll characters: Stacy Krebbeks on bass, Mike Guarino on guitar, and Bob Besley behind the drums. Seeking Monte was born … almost. The band was still seeking 14 CITY MARCH 9-15, 2016

a singer. Again, they weren’t looking to fill a certain bill or criteria. Gender didn’t play into the decision, either.

“We were looking for anybody,” Guarino says. “We were expecting a male singer.”

Vocalist Sara Passamonte called instead.

They got together. The fuse was lit.

“They had been going for a couple months,” Passamonte says. “No melodies, but the full instrumentation was done. I listened, and what I was hearing wasn’t what they expected.” She said, “I can do this,” and started writing.

Passamonte’s broad taste helped her approach Seeking Monte’s music from all sides.

“I listen to everything,” she says. “So I just took a stab at it. The vibe was right. They liked what I did musically.”

With Passamonte and the rest of the band serving as two distinct entities, each with its own set of responsibilities — Heberger, Guarino, Krebbeks, and Besley brought the weight, the heat, and the power; Passamonte’s voice added beauty to the beast — the music came together quickly.

“The first couple songs came together in like, two weeks,” Passamonte says. “Having the music already there made it easier to write. It was nice to have a template. In the past, I’ve always had musicians with me writing from scratch. At least a guitar player playing some riffs that I could go off of.”

In a scene where nothing is new and originality has been banished to the outer reaches of entertainment, Seeking Monte takes the standard components, re-tools them, and comes out sounding fresh. How the quintet pulls this off is anyone’s guess.

That mystery — that je ne sais quoi — is what makes a good band a great band. And the members don’t answer with “heavy” or “hard” or “modern” when defining rock as they do it. It’s just rock.

“We don’t want to hyphenate it,” Passamonte says.

Now with the lineup set in place and hitting on all eight, the band finds itself writing together as well. It’s really quite a simple according to Krebbeks.

“We come up with something we all like,” he says. “We do it.”

Heberger approves. “I look at the band now and I’m really satisfied with how the five of us all came together and what it’s turned into.”

Seeking Monte has one EP and assorted downloadable singles out to keep the kids happy until a full-length arrives. Seeking Monte is busy writing and Heberger is still getting used to the studio.

“It’s a bit of a learning process,” he says.

CLASSICAL | ROCHESTER ORATORIO SOCIETY

Seventy active years of doing anything is impressive; 70 years as one of a community’s signature musical organizations is more impressive still. The Rochester Oratorio Society has been just that since December 1945 and its first performance of Handel’s “Messiah” under its founder Theodore Hollenbach, who led the group for 40 years. (You can hear its next performance of Handel’s “Messiah” this December with the RPO.) In those seven decades, ROS has performed many more times with the RPO; hosted choirs here and sung in Europe and China; performed numerous local and world premieres; and been heard on radio and TV. ROS celebrates its 70th this Friday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Hochstein Performance Hall with a selection of choral “greatest hits” by Brahms, Haydn, and Mozart as well as more modern choral favorites by John Rutter and Marten Lauridsen. ROS will be accompanied by organ and the Festival Brass Ensemble. Theodore Hollenbach died in 1994, but ROS Emeritus Conductor Roger Wilhelm and guest conductor Gwendolyn Gassler share the podium with current ROS Artistic Director Eric Townell.

Rochester Oratorio Society’s “70th Celebration Concert” will take place Friday, March 11, in Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 South Plymouth Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $20-$25. rossings.org.

POP | MATT GRIFFO

Matt Griffo’s song “Basically” is basically everyone’s life. With lines like “I’m basically healthy because my pudding says ‘Fat Free,’” and “Sometimes I wish I could just get paid to sleep, that would be awesome,” the track is a witty take on what everyone is already thinking. That’s the kind of humor Griffo works well with in his comedy pop: the relatable, everyday observations turned up to 11. The songwriter and comedian performs on piano and ukulele, and is backed by two cellists, Marilynn Eguchi and Leyla Royale.

Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Music Director Ward Stare led the orchestra in concert on Thursday, March 3, and Saturday, March 5. PHOTO COURTESY HALSKI STUDIO

Corner of Park and Berkeley bluwolfbistro.com • (585) 270-4467 20 CITY MARCH 9-15, 2016

During his first full season of programing Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra concerts, Ward Stare has included several examples of what used to be called “orchestral spectaculars,” and he and the orchestra seem to relish the experience.

Last night he chose one of the biggest, most vibrant orchestral spectaculars going: Richard Strauss’s massive symphonic poem “Ein Heldenleben,” or “A Hero’s Life.”

The life presented in 45 minutes or so of lavish musical detail is Richard Strauss’s own, at least up into his mid-30’s, when he wrote “Ein Heldenleben.” It is part cartoon — Strauss’s life was not terribly heroic, at least not in the Napoleonic or Marvel Comics sense — and part utterly serious. The then-controversial composer stands up for his artistry, celebrates the love and support of his wife, vanquishes his

critics, and confidently (and as it happened, accurately) predicts his musical immortality.

Both over-the-top and highly engaging, this is not an easy work to hold together, and the audience’s listening was handicapped by not having its different sections listed in the program — after all, this is program music. Audience members who’d never heard “Ein Heldenleben” might be forgiven for wondering why the woodwinds made so much dissonant noise in one section (they are Strauss’s portrayal of music critics); why concertmaster Juliana Athayde played by herself so much (the long violin solos are a musical portrait of Strauss’s formidable wife Pauline); or why Strauss quotes a number of his own works (they represent his “works of peace” and artistic legacy).

If you did know what was going on in “Ein Heldenleben,” Ward Stare and the RPO were extremely effective guides. This was a much livelier affair than the orchestra’s performance several years ago under Christopher Seaman, with Stare bringing a lot of energy and enthusiasm to music that can easily seem over-complicated and earthbound.

The orchestra generally sounded splendid, with those embedded cellos imparting great warmth to the string sound, and some snazzy brass playing (with added players) in “The

Hero’s Battle.” Athayde dispatched her solos with such panache as to make me think that she and Stare should consider reviving Strauss’s rarely heard Violin Concerto.

For this week’s concert, Stare mixed the RPO strings up a bit, with the cellos (usually on the conductor’s right) switched with the second violins. The reason for this was immediately apparent, when the cellos launched the long, confident opening theme and it projected beautifully into Kodak Hall. The setup also helped bring several divided-string passages into relief.

(By the way, splitting the violins with firsts on the conductor’s left and seconds on his right was a practice Strauss would have recognized; it was common orchestral practice until the 20th century.)

Last year, Vadym Kholodenko made his RPO debut in Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto; this week he returns with the Third. RPO audiences seem to love Kholodenko, and this Van Cliburn Competition winner definitely has the chops for the big Russian knucklebusters. That Prokofiev Second was most impressive — and so was his performance of this more familiar concerto. It was brilliant in the extreme, but to my mind the music, virtuosic as it is, often calls for a more relaxed approach. When Kholodenko lightened up, as he did in several of the variations that make up Prokofiev’s second movement, he sounded more engaging and colorful. Much of the rest was exciting, but seemed dispatched a touch too quickly and efficiently.

Kholodenko’s encore, a performance of Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-Tableaux in C Minor, was in a way even better than his concerto performance. The pianist packed a remarkable amount of dramatic intensity into a few minutes. I hope he returns to the RPO, but I would now be curious to hear his approach to the interpretive demands in say, Brahms, Beethoven, or Schumann; technical demands, he doesn’t have to worry about.

Ward Stare chose a winner for the concert opener, a short piece by the young American composer Stephanie Berg called “Ravish and Mayhem.” It is just the right length, infectiously rhythmic, and vividly orchestrated. Its six minutes or so do provide a bit of ravishing slow music and, near the end, some genuine orchestral mayhem, in which the RPO’s horn section became an enthusiastic and very convincing herd of elephants.

ART | “FOOD: A CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY”

THEATER | “THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES”

Through March 20, Gallery r (100 College Avenue) is hosting an exhibition of vibrant photographs that showcase the food, culture, and community in Rochester’s Marketview Heights neighborhood. Through RIT photojournalism student Audrey Horn’s photographs of residents, their kitchens, and community gardens, “FOOD: A Celebration of Diversity” showcases how one community has pulled together in the face of urban food deserts.

An afternoon of entertaining theater is elementary, my dear Watson, as literature’s most famous detective makes the leap to the stage in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” a new production from the national touring company of New York City’s Aquila Theatre. Mixing things up a bit, the play transforms the master sleuth into a whip smart female detective and drops the character into a plot that combines elements from three of Doyle’s original stories.

The food-centered community initiative is a collaboration between the Marketview Heights Collective Action Project and RIT/University Community Partnerships. Dozens of images showcase community members planting and harvesting food in three community gardens, cooking and canning, embracing, and learning together. Also spotlighted is the Field to Table summer youth education program, in which kids learn where their food comes from and to appreciate the work that goes into growing it.

The production can be seen in a one-time-only performance at Nazareth College Arts Center’s Callahan Theater (4245 East Avenue) on Sunday, March 13, at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $15-$35 and can be purchased online or at the theater box office prior to the performance. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

ART | “NATURA NATURANS”

FILM | “MAKERS: WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD”

Beginning Saturday, March 12, Oxford Gallery (267 Oxford Street) will present a show is titled “Natura Naturans,” featuring the work of Rochester-based painter Richard Jenks and painter and sculptor Helen Santelli (artwork pictured).

Regarding the title’s meaning, director James Hall explains that the show’s title refers to a concept made famous in the work of 17th-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The Latin term translates literally to mean “nature naturing,” and refers to the dynamic or creative force within nature, as distinguished from the physical attributes of nature (natura naturata). In art historical terms, natura naturans and natura naturata have sometimes been used to distinguish between the creative and the imitative aspects of art, respectively.

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Rochester Media Association will sponsor a screening of “Makers: Women in Hollywood” and a talkback event on Thursday, March 10, at 6 p.m., at The Little Theatre (240 East Avenue). Linda Goldstein Knowlton’s documentary shines a much-needed spotlight on the contributions of women in show business, from the “earliest pioneers to present-day power players,” and features interviews with artists like Jane Fonda, Shonda Rhimes, screenwriter Linda Woolverton (Disney’s “Beauty and the Best,” “Maleficent”), Lena Dunham, Geena Davis, and Glenn Close, discussing their experiences carving out successful careers in the entertainment industry.

A reception will be held Saturday, March 19, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The exhibit continues through April 16.

Oxford’s hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m.

Admission is free. For more information, call 271-5885 or visit oxfordgallery.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | THE LANTHAN MIRE RADIO THEATRE SHOW

The Lanthan Mire Radio Theatre Show is a live performance that blends film, narration, and music in a multi-media experience based on the mystical, sci-fi “Lanthan Mire” novella series by Lucian Harke. The “Lanthan Mire” books tell the story of a lost extra-dimensional being sent to planets in turmoil. Recently arrived on a planet where the last indigenous people are being forced into a life of slavery, Mire must help the tribe by manipulating sound waves erupting from the planet’s core. The radio theater show combines elements of world music and distorted, effect-spiced staccato picking and ambient drone with theatrically-performed excerpts from the books. Acuity Void and Patti-Feldman will also perform.

The show will take place Sunday, March 13, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $6-$8. 454-2966; bugjar.com.

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Greece Ridge 12

It might not come as much of a shock that Disney’s newest animated film, “Zootopia,” features a cast of adorable anthropomorphized animals who can talk, wear clothes, and take on real-life occupations like police officer, farmer, and even pop singer. But what may be a bit more surprising are the clever ways in which directors Byron Howard (“Tangled”) and Rich Moore

(“Wreck-It Ralph”) utilize this bright, zippy, and happy little world to tell a tale about the evils of institutionalized racism, sexism, and the role of a police force in modern society.

The narrative follows idealistic Judy Hopps (a charming Ginnifer Goodwin), who’s dreamed since childhood of becoming the first-ever rabbit police officer. A plucky go-getter, she makes it through police academy training at the top of her class, and earns a job in the gleaming metropolis of Zootopia. With distinct neighborhoods made up of artificially created ecosystems (from frozen tundras to damp rainforests), the city is a place where predator and prey live together in relative harmony. But when the chief of police (Idris Elba) makes it clear to Judy that she’s just a minority hire, she begins to grow discouraged.

Luckily, Judy’s given the chance to prove herself more than just a “token bunny” when she’s tasked with solving a missing person (err, otter) case. She follows a trail that eventually leads her headlong into a vast conspiracy that requires her

to team up with sly, con artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman).

From here, the film morphs into a noir-ish crime tale, complete with references to “The Godfather,” “Chinatown,” and a bit of “Breaking Bad,” while offering an entertaining variation on the mismatched buddy cop formula. Judy must face her latent prejudices about the shifty fox — at one point, she even condescendingly praises him for being so “articulate” — while Nick learns just as much from her.

Utilizing the animal kingdom’s fear of predators turns “Zootopia” into a rather smart allegory about prejudice and stereotyping, though admittedly the message gets a little muddled when you stop to consider that in the natural world, prey actually have very real reasons to fear predators.

Still when the result is carried out with such imagination and ambition, it’s easy to play along and accept the rules of the movie’s world that have been established by the film’s writers. The movie has a surprisingly dense plot, particularly impressive when you consider that the plots of most children’s movies can fit on a cocktail napkin.

The message couldn’t be timelier; as the citizens of Zootopia are pitted against one another — with a police-incited panic that results in 90 percent of the population living in fear of the other 10 percent — it’s not hard to see the parallels to our own world and its systemic racism against minorities. Reports told of a major shift occurring during the film’s production, and

I’d be curious to know how much was a result of incorporating these elements, which could have been ripped directly from the evening’s news.

The detailed world-building is impressive, and I wouldn’t be the least bit shocked to hear about Disney greenlighting a sequel; there are certainly plenty more stories one could tell with the pieces that have been set up here. The imaginative, beautifully-rendered environments look great. Though I saw the film in IMAX 3D, the format isn’t really necessary: it’s the characters that make the movie pop.

Playing off their own personas, Goodwin and Bateman are great together; Hopps and Wilde are instantly appealing characters in a movie that’s loaded with them. The rest of the eclectic voice cast is rounded out by Shakira, J.K. Simmons, Jenny Slate, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer, Bonnie Hunt, and Alan Tudyk. The film incorporates its goofy animal-based humor to great effect; a sequence involving the sloth employees of the DMV is a masterwork of comedic timing.

Loaded with heart, “Zootopia” is relevant when several of our presidential candidates are deliberately appealing to the very worst ideals in our country’s population. You may consider its “racism is bad!” storyline as kid’s stuff, but this election cycle has made it abundantly clear there are plenty of adults out there who never got the message. A Disney animated feature is highly likely to be seen by a lot more people than the evening news, giving “Zootopia” the unique opportunity to preach not just to the choir. And that makes it something truly special.

After spending some time convincing the city to rent the space to Writers & Books, the organization moved in and expanded. “That was a big growth spurt for us,” Flaherty says.

“We were able to have all kinds of things going on at the same time.”

But in 1998, Writers & Books was faced with having to relocate again, because the city of Rochester needed to modernize its buildings to meet handicap accessibility codes.

Additionally, the structure needed many other repairs, and the organization didn’t have the funds for any of the upgrades. Flaherty was interested in buying the building, but the city didn’t want to sell to a non-profit that didn’t pay property taxes.

As Writers & Books began hunting for another space, the Atlantic-University neighborhood association proposed approaching then-Mayor Bill Johnson with a re-branding of the area as the Neighborhood of the Arts. It made sense — the Memorial Art Gallery, Eastman Museum, Visual Studies Workshop, and other organizations were all clustered in the same vicinity. “This is really the center of the arts for this city, right in this neighborhood,” and yet they were kicking Writers & Books out, Flaherty says.

It worked. But the mayor redirected the sale of the building from city real estate to community development, which conducted an audit to value the building. Johnson asked Writers & Books to have a study done to see how much it would cost to make the building handicap accessible, and said they could deduct that cost from the price of the building. Next, Writers & Books raised necessary funds, bought the building, made needed and desired upgrades, and by the year 2001, was a fully-operational 21st century facility in a beautiful historic building.

So goes the struggle to found and maintain an independent arts organization.

Since then, Writers & Books has added

“When those authors are here, they do a lot,” Flaherty says. Over a three or four day period, the visiting writer gives several readings and signs books around town, and teaches workshops, and typically gives interviews on the radio.

Rochester Reads is among certain moments of success that stand out in Flaherty’s memory.

“The very first book we featured was ‘A Lesson Before Dying’ by Ernest Gaines,” he says. “One of the very first programs we had was at Penfield Library, where Ernest read from his book. This woman stood up, and said, ‘I have to tell you, this is the first book by a Black author I’ve ever read in my life.”’

The woman said that her sisters had prevented her, but since they had died, she had a newfound freedom to read what she wanted. “She said, ‘I have to tell you, this is one of the most incredible books I’ve ever read in my life, and it’s really changed my mind about a lot of my prejudices, and what a sheltered life I’ve led. So I want to thank you for writing this book.’ That was exactly the kind of thing you’d want to have happen when you have a community reading program,” Flaherty says.

At another library reading for the same book, the librarian told Flaherty that it was the most diverse group she’d seen in at one reading in the space.

Other successful moments have to do with parents approaching Flaherty to say that taking classes at Writers & Books sparked a love of reading and writing in their children.

Writers & Books offers scholarships to its summer programs for kids, so there are opportunities for those who can’t afford the

tuition. Flaherty says they’ve received letters from parents stating how the programming has turned their kids’ lives around, because it offers a setting where they meet other young people who are enthusiastic about reading and writing.

Quickened by their peers’ enthusiasm, the kids have the potential to return to school with new confidence in their own interests.

“Books raised me. Authors raised me,” Flaherty says. “In a certain sense, this is like giving back to books for what they did for me when I was growing up.”

Writers & Books is also part of an economy that lets writers make additional income as teachers, Flaherty says of the many classes taught by working local writers.

“That’s their time and their expertise that they’re sharing,” he says.

Sally Bittner Bonn, Director of Youth Education at Writers & Books, calls Flaherty “a real innovator.” Over the years, she’s experienced the organization from all angles, as an administrator, teacher, and student.

“He never stops coming up with ideas for new programming, opportunities to bring the power of reading and writer to the greater Rochester community,” she says.

Even now, just months before his retirement, Flaherty is putting together largescale grants for new projects, she says. “Because what he has built is so strong, it will continue for many, many years to come.”

Fanning fondly remembers one particular instance of his levelheaded boss holding things together through chaos. Writers & Books held a special event in celebration of architect and mystic Claude Bragdon with a projected slideshow Flaherty had prepared “on a huge piece of machinery that none of us were very familiar with,” Fanning says.

“We built scaffolding, brought out chairs and a sound system, and then everything went wrong. The projector wouldn’t connect to Joe’s laptop, it started to drizzle … people were less than thrilled.”

The staff quelled the unrest by distributing snacks and drinks and playing music while Flaherty worked on the projection. “It eventually worked out fine, and I remember talking with Joe afterwards,” Fanning says. “He was so calm about the entire thing, very ‘We did it; wasn’t that crazy how everything went haywire for a minute,’ and laughing. I was still hyperventilating and remember thinking, ‘This is how I need to approach situations that spiral out of control for a minute. Keep clam, realize what you can and can’t control, and move on.’”

The succession committee has narrowed

the search for a new director down to three potential candidates. Writers & Books’ is looking for someone who’s vision for the future “matches the heart of what we’ve been doing for the last 35 years, but who has the skills to

move us forward while still honoring the integrity of the organization,” Bittner Bonn says.

Though Flaherty is retiring, he’s not entirely ready to relinquish his baby. There will be a period of time where he’ll help the organization transition under the new leadership, and after things are The deaf/hearing poetry group, Flying Words, performing at Writers & Books. settled, he says he’d PHOTO PROVIDED like to shift his focus to the Gell Center, which is Writers & would like to expand programming and add Books’ writing retreat in Naples. a residential wing, so that groups of people Writers & Books came to own the center can stay there on retreat. in 1988, when 24 acres of land in the Bristol Among the many ideas he has, Flaherty is Hills holding a Thoreau-inspired cabin was considering using Gell for a retreat program gifted to the organization by Kenneth Gell, for burned-out teachers who are near a former East High School teacher who had quitting, in which they do writing exercises moved into a nursing home.

A Unique View

212 River Street

In the early twentieth century, Rochester’s River Street bustled with commercial activity, but it was also a residential community of diverse families, many of whom worked for the Coast Guard. The home at 212 River Street has a rich history, which is evidenced by the unique and charming view from the home’s upper bedrooms and spacious fenced-in backyard. The home is less than a five minute walk to Charlotte Beach and the many businesses and establishments that make Charlotte a popular destination for people of all ages.

Built in 1925, the sturdy American Foursquare at 212 River Street is perched on a ridge overlooking the Genesee River.

From the large backyard, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Genesee Riverway Trail, various boats and marinas, and the Colonel Patrick O’Rorke Memorial Bridge, which is named for a Civil War officer who grew up in Rochester and died at the battle of Gettysburg in 1863. The vista that serves as backdrop for this unique home is only available via a handful of properties situated in this particular section of River Street. The location allows for an experience that is distinctly natural, yet at the same time historical—harkening back to a time when the Genesee River was a major thoroughfare for commercial and recreational endeavors.

The home itself retains much of the original craftsmanship and historic details that characterize Foursquares of the 1920s. The front entryway features the original ceramic

tile floor and doorway. The living room, dining room, and hallways all boast original hardwood floors, un-painted gumwood trim, and original hardware and knobs on the doors. In the dining room, a coffered ceiling adds a touch of elegance. Although it could use a complete renovation, the kitchen does feature wider plank-wood floors and a small butler’s pantry.

The three bedrooms on the second floor are cozy and well lit. One bedroom opens up to a sleeping porch, which overlooks the Genesee River. The porch is a cool and relaxing space that allows you to enjoy the breeze coming off the river while listening to the sounds of the water and the many birds that nest in the surrounding flora. All three bedrooms have generously sized closets and hardwood floors. The upstairs bathroom also features the home’s original clawfoot tub—and there is a lovely built-in linen closet in the hallway.

A unique home in a close-knit residential neighborhood, 212 River Street is listed at $105,000. The 1,371 square foot home has a detached one-car garage. To learn more about 212 River Street or to schedule a visit, contact Terry Wolak with Keller Williams Realty at 585-248-0250 or Mark Picaretto or Bugra “Bobby” Gul at List-Assist Real Estate 585-314-4219.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

The Square Wheel of Justice

In February, New York’s highest court finally said “enough” to the seemingly endless delays on a multimillion-dollar judgment for negligence that occurred 23 years ago. Linda Nash had sued, among others, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for injuries she suffered when trapped in an underground parking garage during the World Trade Center terrorist act. (No, not the one in 2001, but the bombing eight years before that, which killed six and wounded more than 1,000). Nash was 49 that day and 72 now, and after winning a $5.4 million jury verdict in 2005, endured 10 more years of appeals. In its final, unsuccessful motion in the case, the Port Authority said it had spotted a technicality and that Nash should start over.

The Continuing Crisis

“Nostalgia,” Gone Too Far: Retired engineer Harry Littlewood, 68, watching workers tear down outdated public housing in Stockport, England, recently, rushed over to ask the local Stockport Council about recovering a “souvenir” since the teardowns included his residence growing up. The council agreed, and Littlewood was awarded the toilet he had used as a boy. “I never thought I’d see it again,” he mused. He said he would probably turn it into a planter.

Latest Religious Messages — Evangelicals Applaud Sexual Preda-

tor: The Jacksonville (Florida) City Council was addressing a proposed amendment to its Human Rights Ordinance (one that would specifically protect gays,

lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders) in January when Roy Bay, 56, stood during the comment period and insisted that those kinds of lifestyle protections are what led him on a 20-year history of molesting one little boy after another. Gasps in the audience turned into cheers, however, when he reported that he had abandoned his bad self after becoming a “born-again child of God,” and realizing that it was not “acceptable” to assault kids even though he was raised in such an environment himself. (Conveniently, the crimes are not prosecutable because of the statute of limitations.

Fact-checkers, including FloridaPolitics. com, are still investigating Bay’s claims.)

— Local governments in Taiwan’s Southwest Coast National Scenic Area in Chiayi province recently put the finishing touches on a 55-foot-high “church” in the form of a shoe made from more than 300 glass panels (and costing the equivalent of about $680,000). According to a BBC News dispatch, no religious services will be held there; rather, the church will be a destination for weddings and feature other events tailored for glass-slipper-obsessed females.

— Prosecutors in Spain finally filed charges this year against three women for a May 2014 protest that was apparently aimed at religious intolerance of homosexuality, and are asking that the charges against the women be labeled anti-Catholic “hate” crimes. One judge particularly noted the anti-Catholic props — rosary beads, prayer lace, canonical hoods, and a 6-foot-high plastic vulva constructed to resemble the well-known representation of the Virgin Mary. In January, judges called police to court to help identify the women in videos of the protest.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you don’t participate, you will miss an opportunity to engage in an interesting encounter.

Life is meant to be lived, so get involved in whatever brings you satisfaction, knowledge and joy, and you will find that special someone to share your life with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t fear the unknown. Just because someone comes from a different background doesn’t mean you cannot find common ground. If you are both willing to compromise, love can conquer whatever other challenges you face. Don’t give up on someone too quickly. Relationships require work and understanding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your fickleness will get you into trouble. Before you get involved with more than one person, consider how you would feel if someone two-timed you. It’s OK to have fun and flirt, but only if you are honest with everyone involved.

Limit your choices by eliminating poor influences.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get involved in a creative pastime that makes you feel comfortable, and join a group that will help you expand your interest. An unusual connection will be made if you share your ideas with someone you meet at a class or conference. Romance will result in an intimate connection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t confuse someone’s motives when it comes to love. Your generosity will attract plenty of romantic candidates, but not all will want to be with you for the same reason. Don’t try to buy love. Find out where you stand based on who you are, not what you’ve got to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll encounter plenty of action when it comes to love, romance and sharing your wildest dreams with someone who has captured your interest. Don’t hesitate to make a move. If you love someone, be upfront and start revealing your long-term intentions. The best is yet to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Question the type of relationship you have with someone. If it is based on infatuation, you may want to take a step back and reconsider how equal the relationship is. If you feel it’s a one-sided connection, move on before you face being mistreated or you experience dissatisfaction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let down your guard and plan to experience something totally unique or different from any relationship you have encountered in the past. Be receptive to what’s being offered, and use your imagination to play the game of love. Your eccentricities will be hard to resist.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread carefully when it comes to love. Not everyone will play fairly, and some potential partners you encounter will lead you down a destructive path or take advantage of you. Don’t try to be something or someone you are not. Honesty will be your ticket to a good relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just when you think you have found the perfect partner, something unexpected will make you think twice. If someone you fancy is inconsistent or unpredictable, be on guard. Canceling dates at the last minuet and lame excuses will be your signal to make a quick exit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let chemistry cloud your vision. If you are attracted to someone who doesn’t share your values or life goals, you may want to reconsider wasting too much time trying to make it work. A physical attraction is great initially, but will wear thin if your mental connection sucks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t try to hide your quirkiness.

The person who loves your unique ways will turn out to be that special person who will encourage you to follow your dreams. That kind of pure love and dedication is hard to find if you are being a chameleon instead of portraying who you are.
