JUNE 1-7, 2016

As a retired Rochester City School District educator, I am very concerned about the nontransparent process that the Board of Education has chosen to use for its superintendent search.

One of the board’s most important functions is to facilitate meaningful community involvement. However, given the current negative, corporate/ politically-driven education environment, combined with the myriad difficulties RCSD students experience, the use of a nontransparent, corporate model to select the next superintendent can be interpreted as hypocritical and disenfranchising to the Rochester community. This is especially true for parents, teachers, administrators, and students.

Surely, those constituencies would have valuable feedback for the BOE regarding the quality of the candidates. Board members are asking the Rochester community to trust them to make the right decision. That’s a great deal to expect.

Despite being elected by the Rochester community and being outstanding citizens with education policy experience, these board members generally lack the education backgrounds, degrees, and experience to select a candidate who reflects the standards necessary for meeting the instructional, organizational, and psychosocial needs of students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

It’s not too late for the BOE to modify its decision and organize a “Meet the Finalists” forum at which the public could question the board’s finalists and give the BOE its feedback.

Standards are important for the selection of a great superintendent, and many local educators and parents insist that William Cala is the “standard” that should be used to assess the BOE’s finalists.

If no finalist measures up to Dr. Cala in terms of: • Experience and knowledge of the research; • Understanding the implications of concentrated poverty and racial/socioeconomic segregation on children; • The need for equitable funding, lower teacher/student class ratios, and more personalized learning in all classrooms; • The need for more racially and culturally sensitive, trained teachers and administrators; • Assertiveness and skills for intensive, research-based lobbying with the Board of Regents, Legislature, governor, and US education department for more curricular and assessment variances; • The need to communicate effectively with students, parents, teachers, administrators and the BOE, and the passion for accomplishing all of the above. then the BOE should invite Dr. Cala to apply for the position.

I urge concerned Rochester citizens to contact BOE members and urge them to implement these processes.

Trump’s conservative charade

I have a different take than CITY when it comes to Donald Trump.

He does not scare me as much as he does most of my fellow liberals and progressives.

I have done a lot of reading of comments made at sites such as Yahoo. I’ve noticed that more and more of them are increasingly angry, hateful, nasty, vicious, antigovernment, anti-government social programs, racist, anti-Semitic, antiminority, homophobic.

It amuses me that people who supposedly believe that everyone should work for a living seem to spend all day and night writing hateful comments on their computers. When Trump started spouting his rubbish, my immediate reaction was to say, “Wow, this guy has somehow figured out and tapped into where a lot of Americans are at now and is pretending to believe as they do.

I don’t think he really believes half of what he is saying.”

Yes, I agree that it is very sad and even tragic that so many Americans are full of such hatred and cold-heartedness. But they are.

Yet Trump has always said that he wants to protect Social

Security and Medicare. That is not a conservative position.

They won’t say so, but I believe that this is the major reason why some conservatives won’t support Trump. Trump does not appear to be a survival of the fittest, social Darwinist like Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan.

Both of them say they favor limited government. That’s code that really means that their ultimate goal is to totally abolish all government social programs that help people. Trump does not seem to be with them on this. This is why they don’t like him. This is why he does not scare me like their ilk scares me.

Small class size made a difference

My name is Marne Parmelee and I teach kindergarten at RCSD School No. 2. I want to share something great that RCSD let happen this year. Usually, district kinder classes pack 22 or more children in a room, with one teacher. Our School No. 2 kinder classes each had 15 students this year.

In 27 years of teaching and researching early childhood education, I have never seen students make the incredible gains in literacy skills that our children have made this year. My colleagues and I have been able to focus intently on each student in our small classes, differentiating our teaching for their unique needs.

All educators know how the addition of one student can increase our work exponentially.

Keeping our classes small has allowed us to achieve an ideal.

Imagine if we could guarantee that all of our kindergarten students could have this opportunity!

Our bland corporate culture

It’s always a sad day when art gets thrown away from the public view. (“Removal of airport art causes turbulence,” May 25). It is really sad it takes a back seat to advertising.

It’s in our corporate culture to look the same no matter where you are: the same ads, the same restaurants, the same stores, the same boring landscape. All the malls are the same; do airports have to follow suit?

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The presidential race and the hatred within us It’s hard to get the story out of my mind: Southwest Airlines passenger Gill Parker Payne was so incensed by a woman passenger wearing a hijab that he got out of his seat, walked up the aisle, and, according to his own admission, told her: “Take it off!

This is America!”

When she didn’t obey, he pulled the hijab off himself.

What in the world led him to do something like that? Where did that prejudice come from? Where did the hair-trigger anger come from?

And what can we do about it?

Because Gill Parker Payne’s behavior is not an aberration. Reports of hate crimes directed at Muslims in the US, including violent incidents, have been increasing. And the national political leadership and dialogue has changed. After the 9/11 attacks, George W. Bush urged religious tolerance and called for respect for Muslims. Donald Trump has called for registering Muslims already in the US and a ban on Muslims coming here.

And rather than repudiating Trump, top Republicans from around the country are embracing him.

Prejudice and hatred aren’t new in the United States, and they’re not unique to us. I’m not a psychologist, but what I’ve read about prejudice supports what seems to be basic common sense: We may be less likely to be prejudiced against a particular group of people if we personally know and frequently interact with people of that group – as long as those interactions aren’t predominantly negative.

But it also seems to be perfectly natural – human nature – to initially be suspicious of types of people we don’t know, particularly if they look or act differently from us.

Certainly education can help – can inform us about the positive traits and accomplishments of those who are different; can encourage us to be interested in things and people who are different from us. But apparently our innate comfort with people like us and our distrust of people and things that are different create such a hard shell that it’s hard for education – hard, even, for familiarity – to break through.

Can prejudice lessen over time? Can we trust that it will get weaker over generations? Many young people in the US today seem to be more liberal than older generations on social issues, more welcoming of people who are different.

And social norms seem to be able to play a role, not only in protecting the victims of prejudice but in setting standards, serving as examples, pointing to

We elected Barack Obama as president, but the hatred erupting now is a reflection of who we are, too.” moral principles and goals. If that’s the case, leadership from the top – nationally and locally – is important.

Many of us believed that Barack Obama’s election as president – and his reelection, in the face of increasing animosity from Washington Republicans – signified that the United States had made great progress in the struggle to overcome racism and form a more perfect union.

But the hatred erupting now, at campaign rallies, on the Internet, on radio and TV, in the close, stressful quarters of an airplane… all this is a reflection of who we are, too, just as Marine Le Pen is a mirror of the French.

We are a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural nation. This is fact. But we have not yet agreed as a nation that that’s what we want to be.

“You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,” Rodgers and Hammerstein insisted in “South Pacific.” Given our innate inclination toward prejudice, and the comfort we all find among those who are like us, it may be more accurate to say that we’ve got to be carefully taught to overcome it.

We would be a greater nation if we embraced our diversity, if we saw the incredible richness and opportunity it provides. But fear and mistrust, prejudice and hate are strong. And tragically, in this crucially important election year, important people in leadership positions and powerful people with money are encouraging prejudice to spill right out into the open. rochestercitynewspaper.com

St. Boniface is back in the South Wedge

Gantt blocks schools bill

Democratic Assembly member David Gantt blocked legislation needed to keep the $435 million second phase of the Rochester schools modernization program moving ahead. Gantt said that nobody consulted him about the bill, which impacts schools in his district, reports say.

A statue of a saint known for his eighth-century missionary excursions has almost completed its long journey back to the South Wedge after being missing for nearly 60 years. The statue, a seven-foot-tall cast-iron image of St. Boniface that weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, will soon return home to St. Boniface Church on Gregory Street.

Survey supports diverse schools

Great Schools for All released survey results showing that more than 70 percent of the city and suburban parents questioned said they would consider sending their child to a diverse magnet school even if it was outside their home district.

Great Schools is committed to creating magnet schools that are racially and socioeconomically diverse and open to students throughout the county.

St. Boniface’s 60-year sabbatical ends this month when the statue returns to the South Wedge.

St. Boniface was born in England and spent much of his life as a missionary, helping establish Christianity in what is now Germany.

Killed in the mid-700’s, he is the patron saint of Germany where he remains an important historical figure.

The statue once overlooked the entryway to the second St. Boniface Church, which was built on Gregory Street in 1887 to serve the city’s German-Catholic community, says John Curran, a member of the church.

The building has been described by architecture historians as one of Rochester’s great Gothic Revival structures, boasting a spire reaching nearly 200 feet high.

“The biggest obstacle to prisoner education is the perception that criminals are getting something almost no one else gets: a free education. But society also believes that education helps solve some of the world’s most difficult challenges, so people should want prisoners to be educated.” [ JOSHUA DUBLER ]

PRISON REFORM | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Colleges support prisoner education Despite widely known and draconian facts about the prison system in the US, Joshua Dubler says that he’s optimistic that public attitudes about the justice system and the treatment of incarcerated people are at a turning point.

“We’re in a good moment,” says Dubler, assistant professor of religion at the University of Rochester.

Higher education and charitable institutions are providing important resources to prisoners, such as education and job training, after decades of reductions from state and federal governments.

Cornell University has offered its Cornell Prison Education Program since the early 2000’s, and in 2015, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded Cornell a grant to expand the program to create a consortium of “college in prison” programs in the Upstate New York area. Dubler leads the UR’s involvement in the program.

“What you’re seeing is faculty and students are stepping in to help an underserved and invisible population,” he says. “Foundations are seeing this as an investment.”

More than a dozen prisoners earned associate degrees in 2015 from Cayuga Community College through the prisoner education program. And this fall, the UR

will join forces with Cornell to offer four courses in some of the area’s prisons, such as “Intro to the World Religions” at Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus.

The reductions in state and federal educational programs for prisoners began in the 1970’s and gained momentum through the Clinton administration, even though credible evidence shows that prisoner education helps reduce recidivism.

“These programs keep people alive,” Dubler says. “The incarcerated take education soulfully; they really bring it.”

COMIDA bloodbath County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo says she got burned.

Here she is, trying to run the most ethical county government in the country, and her longtime aide undermines her by funneling misleading information to the head of the county Republican Party.

And he uses it to make a clumsy attack on County Clerk Adam Bello, a Democrat.

At least, that’s what the public is supposed to take away from the I-Square/COMIDA fiasco.

Dinfolo reiterated the story at a press conference last week, offering some details, e-mails, and memos to back it up. The conference followed the rapid resignation of four COMIDA board members, who stepped down to save their reputations. It’s unclear if the now three-member board can operate.

The basics are well-established.

Dinolfo’s aide, Justin Roj, gave COMIDA info to GOP boss Bill Reilich to smear Bello. Reilich said that Irondequoit’s I-Square was struggling, and blamed Bello as former Irondequoit supervisor. But it turned out that the project isn’t in trouble and many people questioned the injection of politics into COMIDA and the affairs of a private business.

Dinolfo asked for and received Roj’s resignation a few weeks back.

She apologized for the whole disaster last week, including a direct apology to I-Square’s owners, Mike and Wendy Nolan, who are still angry. And Dinfolo promised reforms to keep this kind of problem from happening again.

CITY 5

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Midtown casino: ‘It’s not your city anymore’ It’s important to know what Rochester stands to gain from a possible downtown casino, as well as what it stands to lose, says former mayor Bill Johnson. A big downside is the loss of any kind of say-so in the fate of a prime downtown property, forever, if the land becomes sovereign territory belonging to the Seneca Nation of Indians.

The City of Rochester and the Seneca Nation are reportedly discussing a combined casino-performing arts center on a city-owned parcel on East Main Street at Midtown. Local media report that the casino and theater would be in a four- or five-story building on the Midtown land with the casino on the lower floors and the theater on top. Both would be owned and operated by the Senecas.

Actually, “casino” may be too strong a word for what Rochester is likely to get. The Seneca Nation has already maxed-out the number of full-fledged casinos it is allowed under its compact with the state. Rochester would get a Class II gaming facility, which essentially means video gaming terminals and video slots; no table games of any kind. Forget Las Vegas.

On the “gain” side, there’s the money from the sale of the Midtown parcel to the Senecas.

The casino would also create jobs, and Rochester would finally get its long-sought-after downtown performing arts center, with the Senecas picking up the check on the whole thing.

But casinos have a spotty record when it comes to revitalization. The city would also lose potential property tax revenue because the land would be exempt, and the casino could have a corrosive effect on the population. And then there’s the sovereignty issue: the former Midtown parcel would forever be under the control of the Seneca Nation.

“It’s literally another nation, and they’re responsible for their own affairs,” says Daniel Spitzer, a Buffalo attorney who was involved in discussions about a possible Henrietta casino in 2014. “The Native-American nations take their sovereignty rights extremely seriously.”

The Midtown property is valuable land smack in the middle of a downtown that is hot with housing projects. Just because developers haven’t shown interest yet in the potential casino parcel, doesn’t mean that they won’t in the near future, Johnson says. The city would lose that opportunity if it takes the Seneca deal, he says.

The Senecas can’t simply declare the Midtown property sovereign land; ownership and sovereignty are unrelated. The nation would buy the land and then ask the US Department of the Interior to make it sovereign; sources that CITY consulted 6 CITY

differed on whether Congressional approval is needed, too.

The City of Rochester, as the host municipality, would likely have a chance to comment on the sovereignty petition, and to raise objections.

No compact is required in Rochester’s case because the state is not permitted to regulate Class II gaming, according to the State Gaming Commission. But no compact probably also means no guaranteed revenue-sharing for the city; the Senecas have agreements with the host municipalities of their three full-fledged casinos in Western New York to make up for the loss of property tax revenue.

However, the City of Rochester may be able to negotiate a revenue-sharing deal with the Senecas during the sale of the land, experts say.

That would also be the time for the city to negotiate job-creation requirements, the use of women- and minority-owned businesses, and any other conditions it wants.

The Senecas would likely have informal agreements with the Rochester Police Department and the Rochester Fire Department for emergency services. Buffalo fire and Buffalo police respond to the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, for example, which experts say is a good comparison for Rochester as it’s located in an urban center.

The Seneca Nation does its own code

enforcement — it has its own building codes which mirror the state’s — and would not require the City of Rochester’s approval to make modifications or improvements to its facility.

“You wouldn’t have a Native-American project go before a zoning board,” says Spitzer, the Buffalo attorney.

But the nation understands that it’s in its best interest to involve the municipality and the community, experts say.

The sovereignty would also likely apply to the performing arts center. The Department of the Interior has said that the state can’t force Native Americans to give up elements of sovereignty that aren’t directly related to gambling, although that’s not always an easy distinction to make, says Errol Meidinger, a professor of law at SUNY Buffalo Law School.

And much of the legal action involving the nation, such as a contract dispute with a vendor, for example, would likely take place in the Seneca Nation’s courts and not the state court system.

“The Senecas have a series of courts called the Peacemaker Courts: a very sophisticated tribal court system,” Spitzer says.

Criminal matters, however, would be handled by local authorities and state courts, experts say.

The Midtown property would in all likelihood remain sovereign territory forever, even if the casino fails. In which case, the

Senecas would undoubtedly find another use for the land, experts say, rather than sell it; Native Americans have a long history of trying to reclaim what they feel are their ancestral lands and are highly unlikely to cut loose sovereign territory, they say.

Former mayor Johnson says that it’s too early

to comment on the Seneca deal because no proposal has been put forth, although he says that if the Senecas are serious, that he expects a proposal to come sooner rather than later.

“We don’t know what this deal is, what the city would get,” he says. “We know what the mayor really craves, and that is a performing arts center. And unfortunately, nobody’s come along yet to offer to build just a performing arts center.”

But Johnson says that whatever deal comes along must be closely scrutinized.

Rochester should look to Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino to see how sovereignty is playing out there and what rights the city has on sovereign tribal land.

Spitzer agrees.

“When we say they’re other nations, we’re not kidding,” he says. “They really are other nations. And that’s what people have to understand about letting in Indian casinos; you’re letting another nation take over part of your city. It’s not your city anymore. It’s no longer your place to determine the future of that land.”

Dining

Beyond stir-fry [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Over the last few years, travel shows like “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” and “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” have tried to educate the public that sometimes some of the tastiest food you’ll ever have is from a street cart in Singapore, or is served at a small café in Malaysia. It’s with that spirit of education through food that Sean Sun opened Crepe N’Go in April at 651 Monroe Avenue.

Sun, a former co-owner of Han Noodle Bar, also on Monroe Avenue, was tired of seeing restaurants open that offered the same version of Chinese food in which everything is stir-fried. He wanted to show that there are many other dishes from China that don’t involve a choice between white or fried rice.

Crepe N’Go sells Jianbing, a crepe dish that’s a beloved street food in China and is typically sold from a cart. “When I was a kid, most people ate them for breakfast,” Sun says.

It’s believed that Jianbing originated in the third century when Chinese soldiers would

cook the batter on their shields held over a fire. The crepes today are made by spreading dough into a thin layer on a griddle, and then adding egg, sauce, lettuce, and something to give it a nice crunch (typically fried wontons).

The crepe is folded into a cone — easy to take on the go.

According to Sun, only recently has it become popular to add other ingredients, like meat. At Crepe N’Go you can add chicken, tofu, bulgogi, pork belly, and lamb to your crepe. The dish ranges from $4 to $9.

Currently Sun is doing all of the cooking, but he hopes to hire and train chefs on how to create the dish. He plans to experiment with other fillings as well, based on what his customers like. “There are so many dishes in China,” Sun says. “It’s more than just stir-fry.”

Crepe N’Go is located at 651 Monroe Avenue, and is open Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. 417-5543.

a character from an 80’s movie, but the band’s music is anything but cheesy. From just a hop away in Buffalo, the band has focused on creating, in one take, hypnotic and dreamlike instrumental tracks with textures that always seem to remain amorphous. It’s a refreshing change of pace; post-rock and art rock have a contemporary home just around the corner. Ocular Panther and Chameleon Project are also on the bill. — BY KRIS KIELICH

Ed Iseley Experience. Sticky

Roger Kuhn has done gone and did it again, dammit.

It’s Kuhn and his guitar — and Overhand Sam at the wheel to produce — on “Dead Man’s Shoes,” an ominous looking and sounding CD with 14 cuts of prime blues beef.

Kuhn is enchanting, mesmerizing, and hypnotic in his approach. The man takes a rudimentary lick, or takes an equally simple lyric, and drives it home.

Nobody can call him wordy. Kuhn’s blues gets in your head, and it ain’t coming out — not without a saw, anyway.

It can come off a bit formulaic in spots, but overall, the guitar playing is deadly in its direct finger-picked simplicity. Kuhn claws at the low notes in a roundabout Piedmont kind of way, only to let the slide notes slip and wiggle around on top like drunken children. The recording is spot-on period correct, and you can hear the room as it encapsulates the music’s energy and wail.

“Dead Man’s Shoes” is a vintage sounding lo-fi gem that belies its nascent release.

Love lost, love won, only to be lost again, and themes of typical blues ambition and swagger tell the story of Roger Kuhn. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

“HD76151” Gig Records reverbnation.com/infraredradiationorchestra

The Infrared Radiation Orchestra’s guitarist, Kim Draheim, is a guitar-slingin’ encyclopedia; I guess you could say he plays a Wikicaster. I’ve been in awe of this guy’s playing style since the Snake Sisters Café days with his band Static Cling.

Although the rare covers and influenced originals this three-piece band from Seneca Falls is known for are impressive to any record collector, the band’s live show is quite a rock ‘n’ roll spectacle. The material on “HD76151” builds its layout much like the band does with a psychedelic component woven throughout.

“Oblivia” sounds like a forgotten Hendrix riff, and “Dolly Dagger” actually is one (and one of my favorites, too). “Always Ever Staring” is a Scorgie’s era (sigh) punk rock four-on-the-floor road burner. This album captures the cross section of this band’s power and talent it is known for live.

FRIDAY, JUNE 3 THE LITTLE THEATRE CAFÉ, 240 EAST AVENUE 8 P.M. | FREE | THELITTLE.ORG FACEBOOK.COM/SWAMPTROTTER [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

To dig a band or the song it’s laying down, you don’t necessarily need to understand the words. And in some cases, the lack of lyrical comprehension can better serve the song. The melody is more streamlined and unfettered by narrative.

We’re not talking “na na hey hey” here, but rather a different language all together. Take for instance, Swamp Trotter, a local five-piece, harmony-laden, indie rock and folk outfit that sometimes sings in French. And since a good number of its audience doesn’t “parlez vous the Francais,” the vocals get elevated to that of an instrument.

Swamp Trotter came together two years ago after multi-instrumentalist John Vadas’ band, The Sleep Soundlies, broke up.

“I was itching to start another folkrooted band,” Vadas says. So he started off writing with a drummer, and kept his ear to the ground for interested, likeminded musicians. Forgoing the minutia of auditions and shifts in lineup, Swamp Trotter today includes bassist Dan Albert; Peter Goebel with vocals and electric guitar; Cam Hebda on vocals and drums; Kevin Le Blevec with vocals, electric guitar, harmonica, and accordion; and Vadas, vocals and acoustic guitar. Everyone fit in nicely.

“We all just connected,” Vadas says. The mission was no mission. Swamp Trotter traipsed unaware.

“We really didn’t define anything originally,” Le Blevec says. “We wanted to get together and see how it would evolve. I think it was a big question mark regarding how the lineup was going to work with four vocalists and three guitars.”

“We didn’t plan that far ahead in advance,” Vadas adds. “We just wanted to play something that was cool to us, and we had no goal in mind as to what that should be.”

The bulk of the compositions were coming from Vadas at first, so his focus and influences were the most prevalent.

“When we got started, I was writing all the songs,” Vadas says. “I came from a weird, folk aspect. I had played with Seth Faergolzia so he was a big influence.

Kevin had a bluesier back ground — really, borderline rap. But I think folk-rock is the broadest sense of what you could call what we fell into.”

Today they each contribute in the Swamp Trotter stride with a particular voice or accent, according to Vadas.

“We still each have our own distinct style,” he says. “There’s one thing I would say identifies the Swamp Trotter sound: Songwise, we really hate the standard verse-chorusverse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus. I guess I wouldn’t say ‘hate,’ but we really try to format our songs without that formula.”

Le Blevec is from Rennes, Rochester’s sister city in France. His tunes appear in a more apparent aspect of the music; some are sung in French This begs the question, when and how does he decide to write in French? English?

“A lot has to do with the melody,” Le Blevec says. “French tends to be more rhythmic. If I have something with a vocal harmony, I tend to do it in English.”

The interesting thing about Swamp Trotter’s songs in French is that for nonFrench speakers, they are on a more ethereal or musical plane. If you can’t understand the words, the voice singing those words becomes more of a de-facto instrument.

“When I hear his songs,” Vadas says. “I hear them more as instrumentals.”

Consequently, according to Le Blevac, his songs have several layers of understanding.

What strikes first when spinning the bands eponymous EP is the harmonious cooperation between all instruments, not just the voices. The songs are like epic prayers from the church of Brian Wilson.

The band burns with a dynamic reserve that builds around the energy it winds around its audience. The songs are beguiling in their folky roots and are completely beautiful to the touch.

Swamp Trotter is about a third of the way through recording its next EP. The band’s attention to detail doesn’t make for a quick process. It’s hard to label a song “done” especially when so many ideas keep rearing their head. Vadas wonders aloud if they’re ever really done. Le Blevac jumps in.

“The goal here is to get a general consensus,” he says.

Swamp Trotter makes it — the harmonies, the dynamics, the language — sound easy. That is until you ask them.

“It’s hard,” Vadas says. “None of us are classically trained. It doesn’t come easy to us.”

Let’s face it, funk gets abused. It gets slapped on as a label for anyone that digs remotely substrata in search of a groove. Funk is the go-to hop and grind spice for the jammers. But if you turn up the funk, you risk breaking backs. The solution? The New Mastersounds. This Leedsbased band expertly lays out jazz fusion — without the confusion — and a funky groove with R&B on the horizon as if playing the movements of one big song.

CLASSICAL | RPO WITH OLGA KERN

The RPO began its first season under music director Ward Stare with a colorful program of orchestral spectaculars.

And it ends its season in much the same way — only maybe even more colorful and more spectacular. The orchestra is joined by pianist Olga Kern, an RPO favorite, for Rachmaninoff’s coruscating “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini,” and by the Rochester Oratorio Society, adding choral oomph to Alexander Borodin’s “Polovetsian Dances” (better known as the source of several songs from the 1950’s musical “Kismet”). The concert opener, the second suite from Albert Roussel’s ballet “Bacchus et Ariane,” is no ordinary opener: it’s a muscular masterpiece of 20th century French music, by a composer hardly ever heard in the United States. Another, much more familiar, second suite, from Ravel’s “Daphnis et Chloe,” long ago cornered the market on erotic languor, frenzied rhythms, luscious orchestration, and orgasmic wordless chorus (again courtesy of the ROS), and should provide a properly thrilling end to the season. For a review of this concert, check rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Thursday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, June 4, at 8 p.m., at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, 60 Gibbs Street. $22-$94. rpo.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND [ BLUES ]

Madrigalia, under the direction of Cary Ratcliff, will perform “Ode to Common Things” on Saturday. PHOTO BY SEAN KELLEY/REDSTONE STUDIOS

Uncommon music for common things Madrigalia “ODE TO COMMON THINGS” FRIDAY, JUNE 3 KILBOURN HALL, EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, 26 GIBBS STREET 8 P.M. | $20 | 454-2100; MADRIGALIA.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

As a composer, arranger, pianist, and conductor, Cary Ratcliff has for decades been a busy and important member of Rochester’s musical community. Most recently Ratcliff took on the music directorship of Madrigalia, Rochester’s venerable and much-loved chamber choir.

Ratcliff has also written many pieces for outstanding local performers, from chamber-music duos to operas, with an emphasis on choral music. The two careers will combine this weekend, when Madrigalia, joined by the Buffalo chamber chorus Vocalis, presents one of Ratcliff’s major works: “Ode to Common Things,” a 45-minute oratorio based on poetry of Pablo Neruda. This will be a new, revised version that is giving the 20-year-old work some new exposure.

The original “Ode” was scored for full orchestra, and while the work was well received and had its champions among conductors, a 45-minute contemporary work for full chorus and orchestra is an easier sell. “Various choral conductors would tell me, ‘I wish there was a chamber version of this so I could do it with my chorus,’” Ratcliff says. “So I did one, and it was a game-changer for the piece.”

A new version of “Ode to Common Things” was recorded for Harmonia Mundi, an important classical label, by a top-notch chamber choir, Conspirare, under its conductor, Craig Hella Johnson. The recording was nominated for a 2015 Grammy in “Best Choral Performance”;

it didn’t win the prize, but Ratcliff says, it raised the piece’s profile among conductors and choral singers considerably.

“Ode to Common Things,” first performed in 1995 as part of the Rochester Oratorio Society’s 50th anniversary celebrations, had a convoluted birth. Ratcliff says, then-conductor Roger Wilhelm wanted an American-themed oratorio, and the composer spent a year looking for the right words. It wasn’t easy: “An oratorio is not an art song — it’s a communal art. You need a text that everyone can sing together; that everyone can assent to.”

Ratcliff’s search led to a lot of reading of public speaking in what he calls “high poetic speech” — speeches of Martin Luther King and the like. “I asked many people, ‘What writer speaks for all of us?’ And of course everybody had a different answer.’”

The answer Ratcliff finally came up with was a bit of a left turn. “I happened across some poetry of Pablo Neruda, and was taken with his sense of our commonality,” through his expression of ordinary things common to all cultures, Ratcliff says.

The Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet expressed that commonality in poems praising the most common things. In Ratcliff’s “Ode,” Neruda’s poems celebrate bread, scissors, a bed, and the guitar, and the profound connection of these basic things to the deepest experiences of our lives.

Not only did Ratcliff choose a text by a South American poet, he decided to set “Ode” in the original Spanish. “I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, have written this piece in English,” he says. “The precision and rhythm of the poetry; the wit and delight in the original; the sounds of the Spanish words … those all generated my musical ideas.”

Ratcliff calls his current edition of “Ode” the “12-hand version,” as its new scoring is for harp,

four-hand piano, a couple of busy percussionists, and a guitarist. He intended the music to be “especially accessible,” and its infectious use of Latin melodic turns and phrases is enhanced by the new arrangement. (The voice parts remain unchanged.) It is a powerful but lovable work.

Performances of the “Ode to Common Things,” including this weekend’s, feature translated supertitles (commonly seen in opera). “The audience can all laugh at the time, say ‘ah’ at the same time, and all read this beautiful poetry at the same time,” Ratcliff says. “I see it as universal — not Latin American culture, but human culture.”

This year marks Ratcliff’s third season as the music director and conductor of Madrigalia.

The group, which was formed in 1975 by Roger Wilhelm, will have a new performing home next season at the Clover Center for Spirituality and the Arts (formerly the Baptist Temple) on Clover Street. Ratcliff is in the middle of a three-year plan of programming for the choir, with such themes as “Magic, Spells, and Mystery,” and a holiday concert that includes Hanukkah and secular songs along with traditional carols.

Ratcliff still has a busy life as a composer, and he hopes it will get even busier after he retires from his job as music director of Bethany Presbyterian Church in Greece later this spring.

His delightful children’s opera “Mice and Beans” was recently produced in Rochester, and he is continuing to work on another opera, “Eleni,” a project that has involved him for many years.

“I have a big pile of semi-completed pieces,” Ratcliff says. He also wants to produce a recording of various chamber music pieces with local artists.

“I’ve been pent up with chamber music for the past two years,” he says. But this weekend at least, his focus is on an uncommon piece of choral music.

THROUGH JUNE 11 OXFORD GALLERY, 267 OXFORD STREET TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 12 P.M. TO 5 P.M. FREE | 271-5885; OXFORDGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

One of humanity’s defining qualities is our power of abstraction. We reflect on the past and fret over the future, and make up stories to help us understand natural phenomena and human behavior. Some of these stories fade into history as scientific explanations, while others become religions.

Oxford Gallery’s annual themed show this year focuses on “Myths and Mythologies,” and offers dozens of works by artists who explore familiar or obscure myths as well as some that we keep on telling ourselves are true.

Myths often reflect our multi-cultural obsession with and pursuit of women’s youth and beauty, and those stories act as cautionary tales for women who step out of line.

Near the entrance of the gallery is Karl Heerdt’s ominous portrait of “Pandora.” Long before Pandora was an auto-DJ program that introduced you to new music, she was sort of like the Greek’s version of Eve: the first human woman created by the gods, who disobeyed when instructed not to do one specific thing.

Heerdt’s work envisions Pandora as a young girl, her face silhouetted warmly by wonder and the whispering fire visible under the cracked lid of the box.

Across the space, Leonda Finke’s “Exile I: Expulsion of Eve” is a small cast-bronze sculpture of the god-forsaken woman walking away from a totalitarian paradise. Interestingly, she is alone. The scale of the work emphasizes her vulnerability in a wide-open, unknown world, and she covers her face in grief.

Dario Tazzioli’s immaculately detailed marble sculpture, “Daphne,” comes from one of Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” stories: When hounded by the unwanted attention of relentless Apollo, the nymph Daphne begged her river god father for help. Dad’s answer was to turn her into a laurel tree (and the disappointed Apollo, being the god of poetry among other things, used the laurel branches to honor future poets. Poet Laureate. There you go).

Many other artists have captured this moment of transformation, and like Tazzioli, imagined the nymph as a whirlwind of flesh and branch, splaying hair and a tumble of leaves. What I love about this version is that

Daphne’s feet also plunge into the ground as roots, underscoring the permanence of the transformation.

Other figures from myth are identifiable from trappings of their stories: Sari Gaby’s lovely “Persephone” considers the jewel-like pomegranate cupped in her hands; nearby Gaby’s still life of the dooming fruit glistens alluringly.

Why is it always fruit?

Anthony Dungan’s “Medusa” is an expressive figurative work of shifting warm and cool colors, a quiet conflict between hybrid natures. Restive blue snakes coil about her head like ram’s horns, framing a stare that is as indifferent as stone.

Wayne Williams’ welded-steel “Icarus” Anthony Dungan’s painting, “Medusa,” is part of Oxford Gallery’s “Myths and Mythologies” themed exhibit, on view through June 11. combines a simple frame-worked body with PHOTO PROVIDED wings of many delicate, on a sort of cart; and Ray Easton’s “Huginn fabricated feathers. Instead of a graceful fall, Williams has perfectly captured and Muninn,” a striking portrait of Odin’s crows, whose names mean “thought” and the clumsy tumble with an awkward splay of “memory,” conversing on a moonlit branch. limbs and a shocked expression.

Other artists represented the intangible Doug Whitfield’s “Triple Goddess” brought bit of lore. Alice Chen’s small and narrow me back to my first visit to Oxford Gallery, “Mystical Path” is an elegant little marbled which was to see Whitfield’s solo show more ink work that evokes smoke, mist, and the than a decade ago. Here, he depicts the pagan spirit world. Alan Singer’s print, “Uninvited concept of three stages of womanhood — Guest: Underworld,” combines realism maiden, mother, crone — each on a separate with the ineffable — strange figures circle panel of a wooden screen, connected by their another figure that seems to emerge from interwoven arms and whimsical details. a box-portal in a seaside setting. The Each woman is paired with her respective inaccessibility of the scene feels perfect, moon stage (new crescent, full moon, old exactly as perturbing as glimpsing a hint of crescent), and the mother of course holds some higher dimensional beings. a baby. Whitfield’s work combines loose American lore is represented in a handful renderings of full-figured bodies with sharply of works, but most meaningfully in Ryan detailed faces, hands, and feet. And the Schroeder’s “Trickle Down Economics.” I’ve expressions are amusingly perfect — there is never before seen a sneer so effectively clothe flirtation in the maiden’s eye, a nurturing calm itself in oil and linen — the painting depicts in the mother’s face, and a knowing expression a ramshackle of a room with a rotten floor, in the smirk of the crone. boarded windows, peeling walls, and a crush Among the many works that consider the of garbage strewn about the floor.

ART | UPSTATE NEW YORK WAYZGOOSE

The Genesee Center for Arts and Education this weekend is hosting the second annual Upstate New York Wayzgoose, a fair for artists who are curious about creating books.

A variety of local printing companies will have vendors set up throughout the day, including Virgin Wood Type, Rob LoMascolo, and the Western New York Book Arts Center. The Spokes and Ink Bike and Poster Festival will also be on display as part of The Show on Monroe (which is taking place along Monroe Avenue on Saturday, June 4). In true Wayzgoose spirit, the fair will end with a feast for the book makers of the day.

The Upstate New York Wayzgoose will be held Saturday, June 4, 12 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Vendors will be set up at Blessed Sacrament Church (534 Oxford Street), 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and workshops, demonstrations, and the feast will be held at 713 Monroe Avenue.

MUSIC/COMEDY | DAVID LIEBE HART

David Liebe Hart and his puppet friends are another level of “alternative.” Best known for his recurring roles on “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,” Hart has toured the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia, performing a routine that has built up a large, “die-hard” fan base. Hart is regarded not only as an eccentric musician, but as an actor, painter, and train enthusiast, and his show can only be described as “unorthodox,” with a repertoire of songs that largely feature aliens, the paranormal, religion, failed relationships, and puberty. Along with music and storytelling, Hart’s appearance at Lovin’ Cup will include puppets and video, and backing music by Jonah “Th’Mole” Mociun. The duo will perform electronic renditions of Hart’s pieces, and tell a few stories about tickling ghosts, relationships ended by priests and infidelity, and one flakey weather girl. Garden Fresh and Hardwood will also perform.

David Liebe Hart will perform Wednesday, June 1, at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 8 p.m. $12-$15. lovincup.com; artbyliebehart.com. — BY MARY WALRATH rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 21

SPECIAL EVENT | WESTERN NEW YORK BIKE FESTIVAL

SPECIAL EVENT | HISTORY ON TAP

The first Western New York Bike Festival, a two-day event, will feature rides and events in one cumulative set of festivities for off-road, road, recumbent, trike, tri, adaptive, experienced cyclists and new-to-biking riders. Clinics, demonstrations, and guided rides will also be featured at the event, which has been organized by local biking groups. The festival will also provide an opportunity to donate to R Community Bikes, an organization which repairs donated and discarded bicycles, and then dispenses them to children and adults at no charges.

Ten bike shops will have representatives present at the festival, six manufacturers will be offering demo rigs, and 16 additional booths for several different related organizations will also be in attendance. Of course, the celebration will have food and drink, outdoor grilling, an appearance by the Cheesed and Confused food truck, and a variety of snacks sold by the Victor PTSA.

Local breweries and wineries are gathering for History on Tap at Genesee Country Village and Museum for the museum’s 40th anniversary. Forty Western New York companies will hand out samples of beer, wine, and cider to wandering attendees.

Participating companies include Genesee Brewing, South Hill Cider, Midgard Winery, and more. The band Dog House will perform, pulling songs from the Top 40 list and the 90’s.

Special tours done in costume and self-tours of the museum are available throughout the night.

The Western New York Bike Festival will take place at Dryer Road Park in Victor (7405 Dryer Road) on Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5, beginning at 9 a.m. Tickets are $5 per individual, and $10 for families in advance; $8 and $14 at the gate beginning June 1.

Trouble in paradise “A Bigger Splash”

Tilda Swinton stars as world-famous, Bowieesque rock star Marianne Lane. Shacked up (R), DIRECTED BY LUCA GUADAGNINO in a villa on the Sicilian island of Pantelleria, OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 3, AT THE LITTLE Marianne is recuperating from vocal surgery THEATRE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA under the doting care of her boyfriend, Paul (a sensitively brooding Matthias Schoenaerts). [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW The couple’s idyllic existence in paradise is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of an old Italian director Luca Guadagnino’s “A Bigger friend: Marianne’s former producer and exSplash” is a feast for the senses — one whose lover, Harry (Ralph Fiennes). seductive pleasures can barely conceal the dark Pure id, Harry enters like a hurricane, heart that beats underneath. Based loosely on wreaking havoc on what was intended as a Jacques Deray’s 1969 film “La Piscine” — and time for healing and relaxation (the phone using a summery color palette lifted from the call proclaiming his imminent arrival comes David Hockney painting with which it shares a in just as his plane meaningfully casts its name — the film gleefully cavorts its way through massive shadow over the blissfully sunbathing various tones and genres. It’s a thriller, technically, couple). Adding to the awkwardness is the fact though Guadagnino takes his time getting to the that Harry’s brought along Penelope (Dakota thrills, content to let viewers bask in the gorgeous Johnson), the teenaged daughter whose scenery and the beautiful people who occupy it. existence he only recently discovered.

Sexual tensions simmer in just about every direction you can imagine as jealousy and deception rear their heads and things begin to take a darker turn for the dysfunctional quadrangle. All the while, the characters remain oblivious to the region’s ongoing migrant crisis, which serves as background Tilda Swinton and Matthias Schoenaerts in “A Bigger Splash.” noise to their own PHOTO COURTESY FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES

petty dramas. As an exploration of the perils of first world privilege, this aspect of the plot is intriguing, if somewhat underdeveloped.

On doctor’s orders, Marianne is to refrain from speaking. Though Marianne can whisper when she deems it necessary (mostly to talk conspiratorially with Paul during the rare moments they’re alone), Swinton’s performance is almost completely wordless. Being unable to speak above a whisper does nothing to temper Swinton’s ability to be completely captivating on screen.

Fiennes is an over-the-top delight. With his nonstop chatter, Harry is not far off from the gregarious M. Gustave of “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” albeit with more malicious intent. Fiennes’ lengthy, uninhibited dance to The Rolling Stones’ “Emotional Rescue” is a film highlight.

Johnson’s sultry Penelope is the film’s most opaque character; she’s all the more menacing for being the sole character who plays her true intentions close to the chest.

As he demonstrated with “I Am Love,” Guadagnino is a director of tactile visions: You can practically feel the sun and the sweat from bodies waiting to collide with one another, through either an act of sex or violence (or both).

The lush, sun-drenched cinematography from Yorick Le Saux contrasts against the film’s murky morality. Highlighting every gesture, movement, and glance, editor Walter Fasano contributes even more to the film’s sense of intimacy than any of the considerable amounts of flesh on display.

Keaton to introduce “Beetlejuice” screening

The George Eastman Museum has announced that actor Michael Keaton will introduce the film “Beetlejuice” at a screening on Wednesday, June 8, at 8 p.m., at the Dryden Theatre.

Keaton will be in Rochester to receive the 2016 George Eastman Award in a ceremony and gala reception held on June 9.

“Beetlejuice” stars Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin as two recently deceased ghosts who enlist the services of a “bio-exorcist” (Keaton) to help them scare away the odd, new family who moves into their former home. The film marks the first collaboration between Keaton and director Tim Burton, before the pair went on to work on “Batman” and “Batman Returns.”

Though he’s nearly unrecognizable in the role due to heavy makeup, Keaton himself has often ranked his performance as “the ghost with the most” as among his favorites. Tickets to the June 8 screening of “Beetlejuice” will be $20 and are now available online at eastman.org/beetlejuice. The films kicks off a month-long tribute to Keaton’s wide-ranging talent with a series of film screenings that’s scheduled to include “Mr. Mom,” “Clean and Sober,” “Jackie Brown,” “Batman Returns,” and “Much Ado About Nothing.”

Limited tickets to the George Eastman Award ceremony and gala are also available and can be purchased at eastman.org/eastmanaward2016.

A Rambling Ranch

237 Maplewood Avenue When World War II ended, Americans took advantage of new government mortgage plans that promoted home ownership and they abandoned their small city lots for the suburbs. They replaced their compact urban Colonials and Foursquares with more sprawling, one-story designs like the midcentury ranch whose wider facade was a perfect choice for the larger suburban lots.

With its overhanging eaves, stone wall cladding, and picture windows the house at 237 Maplewood Avenue is a fine example of this iconic architectural style.

Built in 1950, this cozy two-bedroom, twobath house that overlooks the Genesee River gorge is set atop a hillside on a quiet street in the Maplewood neighborhood. Plantings of Solomon’s seal, ferns, and a stone planter awaiting spring blossoms welcome you into the fully fenced front yard. Inside, to the right of the vestibule, the second bedroom is currently used as an office/studio. It has oak floors, a spacious closet, and its own en-suite bath. The oak floors continue into the living room, which is enhanced with a wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a unique closet that provides storage for firewood. A huge picture window looking east to the river gorge definitely makes this a room with a view.

The adjacent dining room is a delightful space for intimate dinner parties.

The efficient eat-in kitchen has gleaming white cabinets and white appliances

with plenty of counter space for meal preparation. And the master bedroom area has tons of storage including a surprising vintage linen closet. The master bath is updated while retaining its original tile.

The partially finished basement is home to the laundry, more storage, a workshop, the house’s mechanics, and an additional studio. Outside, a private covered patio provides another spot to view the river gorge and the Genesee Riverway Trail. The attached, built-in garage, another feature of a ranch house, has space for two cars.

The Maplewood neighborhood is alive with community spirit. The active neighborhood association sponsors an annual festival in the nearby Maplewood Rose Garden with wine tastings, gorge tours, music, and, of course, roses. The neighborhood is close to Frontier Field and the High Falls area of downtown and the Seneca Park Zoo to the north. It is served by the Rochester City School District, and Nazareth Academy and Aquinas Institute are nearby.

This 1,380 square foot house is listed at $109,995 with taxes of $3,683. For a tour, call Bob Malone of Nothnagle Realtors at 733-7729.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

People With Issues

Ms. Pixee Fox reported in May that she was recovering nicely from cosmetic rib-removal surgery, performed by one of the few doctors in the world who offers it (Dr. Barry Eppley of Carmel, Indiana). Though she has had more than a dozen “beautifying” procedures, she had trouble finding a surgeon who would agree to take out six “free-floating” ribs (ones not attached to the sternum). Born in Sweden, she gave up a career as a trained electrician to come to the United States to pursue her goal of looking “like a cartoon character” — which she has surely achieved with her now-16-inch waist.

Leading Economic Indicators

Triple Crown winner American Pharoah earned an estimated $8.6 million racing, but now retired, could earn as much as $35 million just by having sex. Stallions reportedly can breed into their 20s, and the horse, now barely age 4, will have 175 conquests by the end of this summer, according to a May report by CNBC. One industry worker said Pharoah has put on weight, spends his spare time peaceably eating grass, and “looks more like a relaxed horse.” A spokesman for the Kentucky farm now housing Pharoah said he “has proven to be very professional in the breeding shed.”

Latest Religious Messages

The Keystone Fellowship Church in North Wales, Pennsylvania, has a tradition of congregants reserving pew seats by leaving Bibles in place, but worshipper Robert Braxton, 27, was having none of that on April 24 and took a

saved seat anyway. Witnesses told Philadelphia’s WCAU-TV that when one church member gently tapped Braxton on the shoulder to inform him of the tradition, Braxton snapped at him and became disruptive. Congregant Mark Storms, 46, flashed a gun and confronted Braxton, who punched Storms, adding, “That’s not a real gun” and “What are you going to do, shoot me?” Storms, contending that he felt threatened, fired two shots, killing Braxton, and was charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Bright Ideas

— The Moscow Times reported in May that bailiffs in Russia’s Perm region, employing originality as yet unseen in America in attempting to collect an overdue debt, arrested the debtor’s cat.

The bailiffs listed the feline’s value at the equivalent of $23, and the man came up with that sum the next day and took the cat home. The Federal Bailiffs Service explained that all the other “property” in the apartment was in other people’s names.

— Shannon Egeland, 41, already convicted in 2014 of running a mortgage-fraud operation during the 2004-2008 real-estate boom, pleaded guilty in May 2016 to the subsequent crime of deliberately having himself shot to gain his judge’s sympathy (and to collect on disability insurance he had purchased the week before). Egeland, scheduled to start a 10-year sentence for the 2014 conviction, told the judge he had been assaulted by gunfire when he stopped in traffic to help a pregnant woman, but in reality he had ordered his teenage son to shoot him in the legs with a 20-gauge shotgun.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a chance on love. Whether it’s someone from your past or someone new, share your feelings, be upfront and find out where you stand. Honesty coupled with direct questions will help you filter out the good from the bad. Don’t mince words or waste time on someone hesitant to share.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll attract attention if you join an organization offering something you have never indulged in before. Expanding your interests and exploring new possibilities will lead to an exciting encounter with a passionate partner. Let your relationship experience help

you pick and choose the best partner for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stay away from anyone trying to control, pressure or lead you down a path that is indulgent or likely to jeopardize your health and well-being. Stick to partners you know you can trust to look out for you. Be willing to walk away from a bad situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Tuck your emotions away, and focus on having a good time and being fun to be with. Attend events that will bring you in contact with people from different backgrounds, and take your time getting to know anyone who stirs up passionate feelings. Time is on your side. Savor the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your bravado, charisma and charming way of taking over any event you attend will bring plenty of romantic action your way. Enjoy the attention, but be clear about your likes, dislikes and what you are looking for in a relationship before you step into a commitment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look for friendships. Engage in activities you enjoy, and you’ll meet people who are appealing and easy to get along with. Refuse to let a physical attraction to someone from your past stop you from moving forward with someone offering so much more. Give love a chance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The need to settle down and get serious about your personal future is growing. Don’t let your desire for love and romance lead to someone who isn’t right for you. Make romantic choices based on common interests as well as physical attraction. Hold out for the One. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trust will be an issue when looking for true love.

Authenticity will be hard to find. Rely on your intuitive intelligence to help you weed out those offering superficial interest. Making a commitment too soon will lead to backtracking. Challenge your lover to keep up with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s confession time. Be honest with yourself about the way you feel. It’s up to you to make a change if you aren’t happy with the way things are going in your love life. Stop running away and start making whatever changes are necessary to achieve the life you desire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t feel the need to jump into something too quickly. If someone gives you an ultimatum, it’s probably time to rethink the relationship. You have to feel comfortable moving forward before you can make a long-term commitment. Ulterior motives are apparent. Don’t get trapped in an irreversible situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can stabilize your personal life if you share your emotional needs and desires. Love is on the rise, and romance will bring you closer to the one you love. Plans can be made that will bring about positive change and greater stability.

Let your actions speak for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll find it difficult to look past your physical attraction to potential partners. Consider who makes you laugh and who enjoys the same things you do. The person who shares your morals, ethics and beliefs and is sensitive and intuitive to your needs will be your forever partner.
