“Creating Downtown: A New Center City”(News, December 23, 2015) — the title itself represents the ongoing confusion that inhibits Rochester’s development. Downtown is more than the Center City; it rightfully stretches from Corn Hill on its southern border to Norton Street as a northern border. Downtown incorporates St. Paul, Clinton, Joseph, and Hudson north of the train tracks. The late developer Larry Glazer, quoted in CITY, urged that we expand our definition of downtown. Heeding his advice brings forth a diverse population of residents, far more businesses than exist in and around Main Street, and a much more solid foundation for the Rochester that we all envision in the decades to come.

I think the G-word (gentrification) is going to be crossing a lot of people’s minds as we go forward. Personally, I’d love to get a place in the new Tower 280, with its concierge service and elevated dog park. But I also want to be sure to stay rooted and support the local and small businesses in the Center City. The old Chase Tower is becoming partly owneroccupied soon, so we’ll see what kind of draw that brings to the nearby area.
Most importantly, I hope they get the Inner Loop East right, and not make it just another generic College Town-type block. NICK R
Raising wages could have a ripple effect
Something is not making sense. If wages are raised, won’t prices for goods and services go up as well, to cover the wage increase? If prices go up, then the new wages will not keep up with the rising prices. Then what? Keep raising wages and keep raising prices? That sounds ridiculous, but if that’s what New Yorkers want, I think there will be more middle-class people exiting the state and more struggling people entering to take advantage of higher minimum wages. On the other hand, what if costs for goods and services are lowered so that they become affordable to the poorer, working class? Wouldn’t that mean that everyone would have to take a pay cut so that goods and services can be produced at all? DON SHERMAN
Maggie Brooks’ new job
With all the business friends and connections Maggie has after doing favors for them all these years, why doesn’t she find work in the private sector that she and her fellow Republicans are forever praising? Surely one of them can use her “expertise” to make more money in the free market zone. No, their actions speak louder than their words. Maggie is off to a made-up job at RTS (News, December 23, 2015); something of a glorified bus matron. What does [RTS CEO] Bill Carpenter do anyway? It sounds like he has handed over some of his duties to this new, overpriced VP position. People are outraged, but there is no viable alternative when it comes to Election Day. NEWYORKTAXPAYER

Contemporary Furniture, Objects & Gifts for Modern-day Living & Giving URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Get a grip on fear What a year, right? And here we are, hurtling into one that will almost certainly be as event-full and challenging as the last. War, international tension, and immigrants fleeing violence and famine abroad; floods and tornadoes, violence, homegrown terrorism, racism, political rancor and corruption at home…. All this and Donald Trump. It is more than the mind can absorb. And in less than a year, we’ll elect a new president. Maybe the seriousness of our challenges will bring us to our senses and we’ll have thoughtful, serious political campaigns. But based on what we saw in 2015, the odds aren’t good. Too few of our leaders – and too few of our citizens – value facts, education, cooperation, and statesmanship. There is too much anger. Too much irrational fear. Too much capitalizing on both. As an example, we have to look no further than our own alleged brush with terrorism on New Year’s Eve. We all know the story: The FBI says 25-year-old Emanuel Lutchman had been communicating with ISIS and was planning a terrorist attack at Merchants Grill. We also know that Lutchman had a history of mental illness, domestic violence, and crime. That’s what we know. There’s a lot we don’t know, including whether Lutchman really had contacted ISIS. Maybe he had. Or maybe he had contacted someone he thought was connected to ISIS but wasn’t. We also don’t know whether he was coached into action by over-zealous informants, who were paid by the FBI for their efforts. Or whether, if Lutchman intended to cause mayhem, he would have followed through without the informants’ help. I certainly wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that this was the real thing. September 11 was real. The ISIS-inspired violence in other parts of the world is real. And in the end, whether it was directly ISIS-inspired, a copy-cat attack indirectly inspired by ISIS, or a delusional act unrelated to ISIS, if Lutchman had done what the FBI says he planned to do, it would have been very serious. But it would not have been another 9/11. We should be cautious, absolutely. And government security and law enforcement personnel should do their job. But the rest of us need to get a grip. Seriously. Our governor, applauding Lutchman’s arrest on a local TV station, warned that we’ve entered “a new normal when it comes to terrorism,” that we “are going to see
We shouldn’t be naïve about the danger of homegrown terrorism. But we shouldn’t be foolish, either.”

this more and more.” And the reporter discussing the arrest with Cuomo declared: “the people in Rochester are shaken.” Shaken? I don’t know. I kinda liked the attitude of Merchants Grill owner John Page and his patrons, who went right on and celebrated New Year’s Eve as they had planned. We shouldn’t be naïve about the danger of homegrown terrorism (whether it comes in the form of ISIS-inspired mayhem or an attack at a Planned Parenthood clinic, a church, or a movie theater). But we shouldn’t be foolish, either. And we must not let irrational fear cause us to ostracize segments of society, erode civil liberties, and shape destructive police and military policies. We’re now in a big election year. In a more rational time, we might spend the next 11 months in a sober discussion of the nation’s multiple challenges. But this year, too many politicians have decided to play to our fears. If, as a nation, we don’t get a grip, we’ll open the door for a demagogue. And that’s truly something to be fearful of.

While Arthur’s Fabrics and Findings was a Rochester retail fixture for years, to many of us his shining contribution is the conversion of his Goodman Street building into an eclectic community of artists, the Anderson Arts building, which also houses our publications. Arthur was a giant of a man, in stature and heart, a wonderful human being, and we mourn his death.

Vargas recommends closing schools
Bolgen Vargas, former Rochester schools superintendent, issued a final report before leaving office on December 31, 2015. He recommended shifting more money away from the district’s administrative office and into classrooms. He also recommended establishing an office of public integrity to root out unethical and wasteful practices. But his most controversial recommendation is to close one school building a year until the quality of city schools improves enough to end the decline in enrollment.
Cuomo tells shelters to open up Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order directing homeless shelters across the state to extend their hours when temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The order also reaffirms that the state has the authority to put homeless individuals into shelters involuntarily if they are in danger, such as during extreme cold weather. In the order, Cuomo wrote that the state is prepared to assist local social service districts (in New York, that typically means counties) if they lack facilities, resources, or expertise.

The City of Rochester continues to adapt its infrastructure to be more accommodating to cyclists. FILE PHOTO
CYCLING | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Cameras will help ‘stranded’ cyclists Bicycles have the upper hand on cars in that they’re safer for the environment, healthier for the user, and generally have an easier time getting around in dense urban settings. One area where bikes will always lose to cars, however, is weight. Bikes aren’t heavy enough to trigger the underground sensors that change traffic lights, so at many intersections, a cyclist has to either wait for a car to come, push the pedestrian crossing button, or blow through the red light. The City of Rochester is looking to change that by installing cameras that detect when a bicycle is stopped at an intersection and trigger the process to
change the light. The plan is to use the cameras on bike boulevards, a series of connected streets that help cyclists avoid main roads. Rochester has been proactive in terms of fostering a bike culture and has implemented many innovations to make life easier and safer for the local cycling community. The cameras are the latest example. Two cameras have been installed so far: one at the intersection of Monroe Avenue and Canterbury Road, and the other at Harvard Street and Culver Road. Canterbury and Harvard are part of Rochester’s first bike boulevard, and speed humps, bike markings,
and bike wayfinding signs have been installed on these streets, too. Erik Frisch, the city’s transportation specialist, says that more detection cameras will go up as more boulevard miles are created. The city plans a total of 53 miles, he says. In addition to bike boulevards, Frisch says, cameras could be used at intersections with bike boxes. The boxes are spaces at the front of intersections where cyclists can pull ahead of cars and wait for the light to change. “It gives bikes a little head start and a little more visibility if they’re in the intersection,” Frisch says.

“Suffering is kind of this global sense that life won’t be what it was.” It’s usually regarded as a form of distress so severe that it can span the physical, emotional, spiritual, and even the financial domains in a person’s life.” [ DR. RONALD EPSTEIN ]
HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
When doctors can’t ease suffering Modern clinical care does not give suffering the attention it needs, says Dr. Ronald Epstein, professor of family medicine, psychiatry, and oncology at the University of Rochester. Even the word sounds slightly out of place in modern medicine, though Epstein says it’s more relevant than ever. Suffering tends to be seen as an endof-life occurrence, he says, even though it’s part of daily life for many people. Roughly one-third of patients’ complaints in outpatient medicine can go undiagnosed, Epstein says, but that doesn’t mean that the problem has gone away. Too often, he says, the person continues to suffer. “Suffering is kind of this global sense that life won’t be what it was,” Epstein says. It’s usually regarded as a form of distress so severe that it can span the physical, emotional, spiritual, and even the financial domains in a person’s life. It can be all-consuming and inexplicable at the same time, he says, which frustrates many physicians. “In medical school, we’re taught how to fix things,” Epstein says. “But much of medicine is not that way. Sometimes we can’t fix things.” Epstein recently co-authored an article in the Journal of the American Medical
Association with oncologist Anthony Back at the University of Washington. They researched how doctors address suffering and were surprised to discover that there isn’t as much written about it as they expected considering how prevalent it is. Epstein says that many physicians need training in how to work with patients who are suffering. When patients’ suffering evades diagnosis and treatment, Epstein says, health professionals tend to do one of three things: they pretend that the problem has gone away and that it’s nothing to be concerned about; they blame the patients for not doing more to help their own healing process; or they Dr. Ronald Epstein refer the patients to another physician. PROVIDED PHOTO “It often makes physicians feel helpless,” he says. Epstein recommends that doctors try to Doctors may be reluctant to help their patients take steps to “refocus tell patients that the pain may be and reclaim” what’s important in their lives, a permanent part of their lives, even if the suffering or physical pain can’t Epstein says, and he recommends that be completely eliminated. doctors learn how to “turn toward For example, he says, “We know the suffering” rather than distance that back pain sufferers who enjoy their themselves from it. work will return to work even if they Frequently, the patients’ sense of still have pain.” purpose is diminished by their suffering.
The bead is banned Manufacturers will no longer be allowed to include plastic microbeads in personal care and cosmetic products as of July 1, 2017. The beads are used for exfoliating and for other purposes. The US House and Senate passed legislation establishing the ban earlier this month, and President Barack Obama signed the final bill last week. Several states have already banned microbeads and major retail chains such as Wegmans have announced plans to stop selling products containing them. Environmental groups consider the federal legislation a major win. The plastic beads are so tiny that waste water treatment plants aren’t able to filter them out of treated water. And once the beads are in aquatic environments, some marine organisms mistake them for food. The plastic beads tend to carry or absorb toxic chemicals that persist in the waterways, and ultimately they carry those chemicals into the bodies of fish and birds. Significant levels of microbeads have been found in all of the Great Lakes, with Lake Ontario having the highest recorded concentrations. Microbead bans have passed in six states, though not in New York. Legislators in the New York State Assembly and Senate introduced ban bills during the 2014 and 2015 sessions, though top Senate leaders failed to bring the bill to a vote each time.

ENERGY | BY JEREMY MOULE
NY’s nuclear power fight continues, while Ginna limps along The Ginna nuclear power plant will most likely continue pumping power through the Rochester region and other parts of the state until at least March 2017. Sometime early next year, state and federal regulators are expected to approve a temporary arrangement between Rochester Gas & Electric and the aging nuclear generator. Under the deal, RG&E customers would temporarily subsidize the plant in order to keep it running, thus ensuring a reliable supply of electricity. Residential customers would see an estimated 2.3 percent increase in their electric bills as a result, according to filings with the State Public Service Commission, New York’s utilities regulator. But Ginna’s future after the agreement expires in 2017 is unclear. Exelon, the plant’s parent company, hasn’t said that it’ll close Ginna, even though these arrangements are typically used to keep closing plants online until replacement power sources are identified. “There’s transition happening broadly within New York’s energy system,” says Tim Judson, executive director of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, an antinuclear-power organization founded in Central New York and now located in Washington, D.C. “And the reality is the nuclear power plants, especially the ones Upstate, they’re not competitive any longer.” Judson’s group is a member of Alliance for a Green Economy, a coalition of environmental and social justice groups that has been heavily involved in the Ginna-RG&E proceedings. The coalition wants New York to phase out nuclear power and transition to renewable energy. RG&E is already preparing for Ginna to go offline permanently by starting construction on the $140 million Ginna Retirement Transmission Alternative, a $140 million project to upgrade RG&E’s Perinton substation. The project is designed to replace Ginna’s power by pulling more electricity from the New York Power Authority’s transmission lines, says John Carroll, a spokesperson for the utility’s parent company, Avangrid. (The corporation was formed by a merger between Iberdrola USA and UIL Holdings.) The upgrades should be completed by the first half of 2017. The utility is also pursuing Public Service Commission approval for a new substation on Monroe County’s west side. It already had approval, but the commission reopened the matter over concerns that the project could 6 CITY

drive the Krenzer family farm in Chili out of business. Under the original plan, RG&E would have used 80 acres of the 670 acre farm for the substation, but the family said that the project would render a much larger portion of the farm unusable. RG&E and the PSC are evaluating other potential sites. But just because RG&E is eliminating its dependence on Ginna doesn’t mean that the plant’s done for. Several other factors, economic and political, could influence the plant’s fate and the fate of other Upstate reactors. Nuclear plants across the United States
have money problems, particularly those in competitive power markets such as New York’s, where cheap natural gas has driven down electricity prices. Up until June 2014, Ginna sold 90 percent of its power directly to RG&E, which gave the plant a guaranteed income. The month after that contract expired, the plant’s owner filed a petition with the State Public Service Commission seeking a support agreement with RG&E. In the filing, Exelon said that Ginna had lost in excess of $100 million in the three years prior. And company officials weren’t confident that the plant would fare any better selling into the competitive market. Some public officials are calling on the state The future of the Ginna nuclear power plant is still up in the air. to throw the state’s nuclear plants a lifeline.

The Rochester Committee on Latin America will show the documentary film “Discovering Dominga” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6. The film follows 29-year-old Denese Becker, an Iowa housewife, to the Guatemalan village where she was born. Denese learns that she was born “Dominga” and is her family’s only survivor of a massacre of Mayan peasants. She was adopted by an American family shortly after the horrific event. Tom Ward, winner of ROCLA’s White Dove Award in 2013, and Grahame Russell, attorney and global human rights
activist, will hold a discussion after the film. Ward travels to the area where Denese was born and has talked with other survivors of Guatemala massacres. Russell lived in Mexico and Central America for more than 10 years and has firsthand knowledge about the area’s human rights struggles. The film will be shown at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 North Fitzhugh Street.

Shaina Sidoti started Effortlessly Healthy on a food truck in fall 2013. Now, she has expanded the business to a cafe and a meal delivery service. Each part of Effortlessly Healthy focuses on balanced meals, including (right) its own version of the trash plate. PHOTS BY RYAN WILLIAMSON
More than a truck Effortlessly Healthy
CAFE LOCATED AT 1921 SOUTH AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. 254-0078; EHMEALS.COM
[ FEATURE ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON
You may have seen Effortlessly Healthy’s blue and pale green truck at the Public Market’s food truck rodeo. Long lines have snaked back from the truck, filled with people hungry for seared ahi tuna-topped salad, chicken pesto and Portobello mushroom wraps, or the number one seller: the chicken, bacon, and avocado healthy trash plate. “People think we’re just the truck,” says owner Shaina Sidoti. “Probably because it’s so visible. But we’re more than just a food truck. That’s just a part of what we do.” Just a little over two years after Sidoti started Effortlessly Healthy, her business now includes the truck, a meal delivery service, catering business, and a brick-and-mortar café. All aspects serve fresh, tasty meals focused on lean meats, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables, with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available.
Sidoti’s journey toward starting Effortlessly Healthy really began when she was 23 years old and had developed psoriatic arthritis, a condition currently without a cure. In pain and on multiple medications, Sidoti sought the help of a nutritionist in the hopes of alleviating her symptoms. She was told to toss out all junk foods, stop eating sugar, simple carbs, and dairy, and start eating unprocessed meats, vegetables, and healthy fats. After six months of following the nutritionist’s guidelines, Sidoti’s psoriatic arthritis went into remission. Continuing with her new plan, she also shed 60 pounds. Though Sidoti’s commitment to her new way of eating stayed strong, she didn’t think of it as a career option. After graduating from SUNY Brockport, Sidoti landed a job as an administrator the University of Rochester Medicine’s department of surgery. “I was so lucky to be hired,” she says. “I was fresh out of school, the job was satisfying, and the people were great.” She touted the benefits of clean eating to her friends and coworkers but felt compelled to do more. “I thought long and hard about how I could help other people eat better,” Sidoti says. “So I took out a loan and I went for
it.” In the fall of 2013, Sidoti purchased her food truck. Soon after, she added the meal delivery service — subscribers choose from a rotating menu and receive ready to eat, balanced meals at their homes or offices twice a week. There are breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, such as turkey sausage, sweet potatoes, and eggs; honey-glazed chicken with carrots, parsnips and turnips; and shepherd’s pie made with a cabernet reduction. (Weekly meal packages start at $49.99 for five meals and go to $129.99 for 18.) It didn’t take long for Sidoti to realize she couldn’t prep and cook for her growing venture exclusively using the food truck. “I didn’t know anything about this business,” she says. To handle the increased orders, Effortlessly Healthy moved to a kitchen space at the Public Market, adding a few staff members along the way. Event catering was added to the roster, which tackles everything from business lunches and birthday parties to large corporate events and full-scale weddings. Last summer, Sidoti and her team — which now includes her mother Sandra Sidoti as executive chef — moved to a new commercial kitchen at 1921 South Avenue. Sidoti had the space fully renovated, and as
of November, the kitchen has a front-ofthe-house café. It’s a small but bright and comfortable space, where diners can grab lunch or an early dinner. Like the truck, the healthy trash plate ($6.50- $8.50) is a popular choice at the café. Plates start with cubed and roasted sweet potatoes and fresh coleslaw before getting topped with one of several protein choices: burgers, steak, chicken, tofu, or Portobello mushrooms. That’s topped off with a drizzling of creamy, avocado sauce and selected add-ons, like meat hot sauce, avocados, artichokes, roasted red peppers, or bacon. The café also offers an assortment of salads and wraps, plus nutrient rich sides, to eat in, take out, or have delivered weekdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Meal subscribers can also pick up their orders at the café.

BEING CORA
With a little help from her music, Cora Treoir Duncan is redefining who she is [ MUSIC PROFILE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
A
t any given time, Cora Treoir Duncan has no less than 100 CDs cluttering her car. She’s a voracious music fan devouring anything from The Byrds and The Bee Gees to Neko Case. She is a longtime musician as well. And whenever the discussion revolves around music — found in piles in the backseat or live on stage at some club du jour — she speaks in excited tones. Cora surrounds herself with music. It has helped define her as she has sought to define herself. It was late winter 2015 and long-time Rochester scenester Duncan Walls rattled the local music scene’s walls with an announcement. It turns out the Duncan we in the music community all knew was simply a male façade she had been hiding behind, a closet from which Duncan would finally emerge — now as a woman. Enter Cora Treoir Duncan. Some saw it coming, while others were blindsided, including to a certain extent, Cora herself, who had struggled with her gender identity for most of her 64 years. When the scene heard word, and that word started to spread, the ignorance and fear that Cora anticipated simply wasn’t there. People were more than willing to welcome her — though they initially may have seen it as losing Duncan. In the end people realized they hadn’t lost a friend but rather gained a truer, more accurate and honest edition of the one they’d always had. Suffice it to say, people were taken slightly aback. There were questions; there was confusion. Yet moreover, there was an abundance of acceptance and open arms tossed in with a pressing need to understand. Longtime friends who were used to calling her Duncan had a hard time switching the pronoun from “him” to “her.” But Cora’s popularity, candor, and honesty, with herself as well as with those around her, has eased any awkwardness and given voice to other transgender women.

Through her outspoken nature, high visibility on Facebook, and shows around town, Cora has put a face to transgender issues, in particular in the music scene. It’s all part of being Cora. “I am very blessed with the music community locally,” Cora says. “A lot of people knew about me before I did. There were a lot of people who weren’t surprised when I came out — like my sister, who said, ‘You’re on the edge of music; you’re on the edge of literature, culture. What took you so long?’” Cora’s long journey began when she was
a child, “probably before kindergarten,” she says, “messing around in my mother’s clothes, putting them on, watching how she did it.” “I also remember looking at pictures of Christine Jorgensen in Life magazine when I was 4 or 5,” she adds. Cora was born Duncan Burnie Walls in 1951, at a time when society and science were limited in the study and understanding of gender identity. It was all twisted up and mired in denial, ignorance, and fear. It was the dark ages, especially for young Duncan whose hormones told her one thing and society told her another.
“When I was about 8 years old, my testicles didn’t descend,” Cora says. “Which should have been a sign.” There were painful procedures they tried multiple times “that felt like a golf ball through a garden hose … My parents didn’t know what to do, frightened. They took me to the doctor. He didn’t know what to do. They sent me to a specialist here in Rochester who, for two years, gave me injections of estrogen twice a month. I was a science experiment. He thought it was going to produce a reaction and send my testicles down. He didn’t know what he was doing.” But according to Cora, it did produce a reaction. “Well, I couldn’t stay out of my mother’s clothes after that,” she says. “And what 8-year-old wants to sneak around and not be seen? It was soon found out. So for two years, I took the shots and things got way out of hand. I was virtually untouchable; jumpy all the time. My body was at war with itself and my parents couldn’t stand that either. They were both smart people, college educated. They were scared, didn’t know what to do. There were no books out there to help them. So we went back for a second opinion with an urologist who, when I was in the fifth grade, surgically brought my
testicles down. I went from 50 pounds to 95 pounds that school year and grew 17 inches. Everything changed after that.” Cora says thankfully the process has gotten better. “Trans kids today,” she says, now have the option to use “hormone blockers until they’re 16 and then let them decide as adults. Occasionally a few, they would let jump the gun if they were really committed. They had to be insistent, persistent, and consistent in their behavior.” As Duncan, Cora was not — she was consumed with curiosity and doubt. Determined to understand her own sexuality, the teenage Duncan began to seek answers on her own. She found none. There were no answers. It just seemed to get worse. “By the time I was 12,” she says, “I was going down to the public library, or the old Clinton Book Shop, and I would rummage around the books. And I found a book called Psychopathia Sexualis by Richard von KrafftEbing which was a very dense medical tome from the early-20th century, where everything that was deviant, perverse, abnormal, aberrant about sexuality … I found nothing positive. So I had to lie to survive. I had to pretend. I had to hide everything and I cross dressed the rest of my life.”
It was her secret alone, to a certain extent. “I always came out or at least gave a strong indication as to what was going on to all the women who were partners in my life,” Cora says. “1975-1985 I was extremely promiscuous. I had maybe 75 partners, I was just hyper masculine, overcompensating, trying to prove … trying to live up to my genitalia.” As with many cases of transgender or gender confirmation, some confuse it with homosexuality. “No,” she says. “Plenty of straight males have cross-dressed once in a while. But this was more than that for me; it really was. Because it was how I pictured myself and how I wanted to be, but I didn’t know it then. And it was a life of shame and guilt and I just thought it was wrong and perverse and I was a bad person. I bit my nails to the quick. I just didn’t like myself. I told my girlfriends and wives — I was married three times — and generally it was viewed as a fetish that needed to be put up with. There was one girl that absolutely loved it and I had the best sex of my life with her, but I pushed her away. If she supported me, I thought, where would I go? It was just fear.” continues on page 22 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

Russian Friendship Concert. Kilbourn Hall, 26
Here’s another one of those tres cool, heavy projects we’ve come to expect and respect from Lockport producer Doug White at Watchmen Studios. This time around it’s the fearsome foursome from Buffalo, Rise From Autumn, and its new EP, “Together We Stand Alone.” This is a relatively young band (forged in February 2014) that comes off seasoned and truly settled in its sound as if it’s been at it for years. The tunes are heavy and intense yet not too lethargic or lengthy to prevent lift-off. It’s a tight, tight six-song EP with sufficient detours into darkness and melody. The band doesn’t hang on just one groove, instead it opts to stretch its legs and listeners’ ears. The vocals seethe appropriately within the songs’ ebb, flow, and drive. The guitar work lays down a king-size bed of nails. Think an angrier STP or a happier Queens of the Stone Age — or better yet, simply Rise From Autumn. The band owns this album, its sound, and its energy. It’s all theirs, it’s all yours. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Pallini & Pappert. Sticky
Straight outta Plattsburg, Jack, (that’s in the Adirondacks for you and me) comes the casual, laidback groove of Lucid on its second studio outing, “Dirt.” The album kicks in with “Cuerpo,” its groove hinting at the Allmans, before sliding into the accelerated funk of “Black Smoke.” The band shows it isn’t afraid to boogie either with tunes like “People” (just dig that seriously fuzzed-out bass as it walks the bottom end as if on platform heels). Lucid hits on all the groove spots and its curious cousins without sacrificing the jump, jive, and joy. So much more than a jam band here. I mean they’ve got Audio Influx and Buddy Guy alum, Chris “Hollywood” English beating the tubs throughout. Heyyyy, now! — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Students check out the Milton Glaser poster show currently on view at RIT’s University Gallery. PHOTO COURTESY SUE WEISLER/RIT UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICES
Poster boy “Milton Glaser: Posters from the Vignelli Center for Design Studies Archive” THROUGH FEBRUARY 26 RIT’S UNIVERSITY GALLERY, JAMES E. BOOTH HALL, ROOM 2765, 166 LOMB MEMORIAL DRIVE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 9 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 2 P.M. FREE | 475-2866; RIT.EDU/FA/GALLERY/ [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Even if you’re unfamiliar with the name Milton Glaser, you’ve definitely seen the renowned American designer’s work. Glaser is the man behind the ubiquitous “I Love New York” logo, and has designed countless arresting posters, packaging, publications, and environments. Through February 26, RIT’s University Gallery is holding an exhibit of 24 of the 60 Glaser posters collected by the Vignelli Center for Design Studies. “We are very fortunate to have Glaser’s iconic posters in our collection,” says R. Roger Remington, Vignelli distinguished professor of design at RIT. “They represent his artistic genius and they add tremendously to the creative environment on the campus.” The posters were added to the Vignelli Collection in 2014. Glaser was a contemporary and a friend of the late Italian-born designer Massimo Vignelli, and before Vignelli died in May 2014, he spoke with Remington about the designers he thought RIT should exhibit 16 CITY JANUARY 6-12, 2016
and possibly add to the collection. “Glaser was on the list,” Remington says. “So I contacted him, and he was very gracious about sending a number of his posters for the collection.” Included in the exhibit is Glaser’s famous Bob Dylan poster, which depicts the musician in silhouette with a shock of colorful, psychedelic, wavy hair. This work was included in the packaging when Columbia Records released “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits” in 1967 — some lucky folks still find that record, with the original poster in the sleeve, when digging for secondhand vinyl. The show also features a poster Glaser designed for Sony in 1979, which advertises the “Full Color Sound” of Sony cassette tapes by illustrating rows of musical staffs with blocks of color and landscapes, sort of an expression of a synesthesia experience. Other images advertise programs at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where Glaser has taught classes for more than 50 years, and currently serves as acting chairman of the board. The post-9/11 remix on his “I Love New York” logo — which reads “I <3 NY more than ever” — is also included. Much of Glaser’s work was created in tribute to other artists of different genres, or challenging, philosophical commentary on creativity itself, each flavored with his clever and engaging visual twists. “There’s a fairly wide and interesting range of subject matter that’s evident in the posters,” Remington says. “Some of them are more commercially oriented, while others are more culturally involved,” in terms of publicizing exhibits of artwork. “I think that’s
what makes the exhibit interesting, the range of the subject matter, and the range of ways that he as an artist and illustrator has treated the subject.” Glaser’s work has remained handmade, even as the design world utilized computers more and more. Notoriously critical of this shift, the artist famously quipped, “Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking.” Remington says the poster collection is very representative of Glaser’s particular brand of creativity. “Certainly, whatever he does, I think, has a certain touch and a style to it that’s very much his, so it’s easy to recognize his work,” he says. Though Glaser is not a typographer, he created eight fonts, including “Baby Teeth,” which is featured on his Dylan poster, and was inspired by a hand-painted sign he saw in Mexico. Born in the Bronx in 1929, Glaser became one of the most prominent American designers in the last half of the 20th century. In 1954, he co-founded Push Pin Studios, a graphic design and illustration studio that became a guiding reference in the world of graphic design. Glaser co-founded New York Magazine in 1968, and officially launched his brand, Milton Glaser, Inc., in 1974. He’s had solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center, and was selected for the lifetime achievement award of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in 2004 and the Fulbright Association in 2011. As a Fulbright scholar, Glaser studied with the painter Giorgio Morandi in Bologna and is a spokesman for the ethical practice of design. In 2009 Glaser was the first graphic designer to receive the National Medal of the Arts award, which was presented to him by President Obama. And at the age of 86, he’s still a prolific designer today. “To the best of my knowledge, it’s the first time there’s been an exhibit of Glaser’s posters in Rochester,” Remington says. The Vignelli Center worked with Wendy Marks, managing director at the University Gallery, to present the exhibit. “We’re physically neighbors, so we try to collaborate with them quite a bit in terms of exhibits,” Remington says. “Sometimes, such as this Glaser exhibit, it’s work from our collections, sometimes we will generate exhibits that are special that we don’t have in our collections, and from that project we’ll establish a connection with a given designer, and get a donation of work, such as the Pierre Mendell posters we had last year.” The Vignelli Center is planning an exhibit of the work of New York photographer Ryszard Horowitz for the coming year.
COMEDY | JUDY GOLD
DANCE | “BODIES IN MOTION”
SPECIAL EVENT | “CIRQUE MUSICA”
What happens when you’re a Jewish lesbian mother of two who happens to work as a comedienne and you interview 50 other Jewish mothers across the United States? If you’re Judy Gold, you turn those interviews (and your own experience) into a one-woman show and take it on the road. The two-time Daytime Emmy Award-winner and former writer and producer for “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” brings her critically-acclaimed 2006 show, “25 Questions for a Jewish Mother,” to the JCC’s CenterStage for one day.
The Central Library is hosting a free event featuring Daystar, a Rochester-based company that educates and entertains with the contemporary Native American dance-drama. Rosalie Jones, who was born on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and earned a master’s degree in dance from the University of Utah, founded Daystar in 1980. It is the first such dance company comprised of all-native performers. Daystar specializes in portraying indigenous stories such as “Tales of Napi Old Man” (Blackfeet), “Wolf: A Transformation” (Anishinabe), and more. Audience participation is encouraged.
It’s been a successful, experimental first half of the season for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra — from Disney-focused performances to live soundtracks for beloved holiday films like “Home Alone” — and 2016 promises to bring more of the same. In the upcoming performance of “Cirque Musica,” a host of touring cirque performers will execute daring, aweinspiring acrobatic feats using hanging silks and more — all set to dramatic music performed by the RPO led by Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik.
“25 Questions for a Jewish Mother” plays on Sunday, January 10, at the JCC CenterStage, 1200 Edgewood Avenue. 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Reserved tickets are $45 for non-members, $40 for JCC members. VIP tickets are available for the 2 p.m. show only ($75 for non-members, $70 for JCC members) and include a post-show meet and greet with Gold.

READ CITY ONLINE EVERY WEEK AT LECTURE | “THE HISTORY OF THE SNOWMAN”
SPECIAL EVENT | LA TRULLA NAVIDEÑA
I fondly remember being taught, as a kid, to look on the bright, magical side of winter by building an army of snowmen. For generations, whenever the snow is just right, children have been ushered outdoors for fresh air and the task of adorning the front lawn with the most ubiquitous of winter sentinels. My siblings and I sang “Frosty the Snowman,” and watched the animated favorite of the same title, in which a pile of snow was transformed via enchanted top hat into a singing, dancing, adventuring character.
The Rochester Puerto Rican Festival will celebrate the New Year and Three Kings Day with its annual Trulla Navideña event, which will take place on Saturday, January 9, 7 p.m., at Ray Ray’s Bar & Grill (2260 Clifford Avenue). Puerto Rican Christmas-season customs include “parrandas or trullas navideñas,” which are when a small group of friends gathers to surprise another friend. Think of it as sort of the Puerto Rican version of Christmas caroling. Most parranderos play an instrument — guitarras, tamboriles, güiro maracas, or palitos — and everyone sings.
But did you ever wonder where the tradition of building snowmen came from? Join the Honeoye Falls/Town of Mendon Historical Society this week to find out. On Thursday, January 7, Honeoye Falls historian Lynne Menz will present a special program, “History of the Snowman,” at the Mendon Community Center (167 North Main Street, Honeoye Falls). The event will take place at 7:30 p.m., and is free to attend. For more information, call 624-5655. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY hot chocolate. 336-3035. westirondequoit.org/HelmerNC.

Film REVIEWS: rochestercitynewspaper.com/MOVIES
Tarantino presents us with a cast of characters who are all oppressors in one way or another, and everyone’s hands get equally bloody. Set in post-Civil War Wyoming, “The Hateful Eight” offers a vicious portrait of frontier justice. We meet bounty hunter John “The Hangman” Ruth (a great Kurt Russell), traveling by stagecoach to transport his prisoner Daisy Domergue (the gleefully wicked Jennifer Jason Leigh) to the town of Red Rock, where she’s due to hang. On the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a Union war hero turned bounty hunter, and the pair add him to their party. Before long they’ve picked up another wandering soul, a racist former Confederate outlaw named Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), who just so happens to be Red Rock’s incoming sheriff (or so he claims). With a massive snowstorm on their heels, the group seeks shelter at Minnie’s Haberdashery to rest up and wait out the storm. Upon arrival, they find that the cabin is already hosting an unruly collection of miscreants: a former Confederate general (Bruce Dern), an oily British hangman (Tim Roth), and a monosyllabic cowboy named Joe Gage (Michael Madsen). Minnie and her husband are nowhere to be found, and in their place is a Mexican (Demián Bichir), who calls himself Bob and claims that he’s been left in charge by Minnie while she’s off visiting her mother. It borders on superfluous to say that the film lives up to its title: these aren’t lovable antiheroes, they’re a murderer’s row of villainous

monsters. The eventual onslaught of violence and mayhem is the natural payoff to the verbal violence that’s come before, but while it’s the inevitable conclusion to this story, seeing the characters destroy one another in horrifically bloody ways isn’t as interesting as witnessing their psychological battles. Still, all that talking allows the actors to flex their muscles, and the film boasts some wonderful performances — in particular, Jackson, Goggins, and Leigh are all fantastic. By the end, the walls and floor are painted in blood, brains, and viscera, and more than one character lies bleeding to death on the floor (another of Tarantino’s favored elements). But there’s more going on here than empty provocation. The walls of Minnie’s Haberdashery function as a stand-in for America, both of the past and the present, where an unruly population is locked inside and sooner or later we’re all going to tear each other apart. That’s about as bitter, pessimistic, and darkly cynical a viewpoint as one can have in this day and age — though one that’s increasingly apt. The director doesn’t offer solutions, he simply uses his beloved pulp genre trappings to comment on the state of things as he sees them. The material presented in “The Hateful Eight” may often be morally repugnant, but Tarantino is too skilled a filmmaker to not make its presentation slickly entertaining. The disconnect adds a layer of discomfort as it forces (nay, requires) the audience to ask themselves what they find so enjoyable about witnessing the degradation of human bodies. Tarantino butchers good taste, then leaves us to sift through its grisly remains.
“Hitchcock/Truffaut”
“The Danish Girl”
“In Transit”
(PG-13), DIRECTED BY KENT JONES SCREENS FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 8 P.M., AT THE DRYDEN THEATRE
(R), DIRECTED BY TOM HOOPER NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA
Consisting of an extended interview between Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut, the influential 1966 book “Hitchcock/Truffaut” is a favored text among Film 101 professors everywhere. And with good reason: the conversation is endlessly enlightening. The book (and by extension, the film) offers a unique dialogue between one of history’s greatest directors (though Hitchcock was still relatively unappreciated at the time the book was published) and an auteur still relatively young in his career. Instead of delving into the story behind the book, film critic and director Kent Jones supplements their conversation by working in new interviews with directors like David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Richard Linklater, Olivier Assayas, and — of course — Martin Scorsese. A significant portion of the zippy run time is devoted to dissections of Hitchcock’s most well-known films — “Psycho” and “Vertigo” — but there’s plenty of insight to be gleaned. More diversity among the interviewees would have been nice, but listening to the filmmakers nerd out over the Master of Suspense is pure film geek heaven.
As the first person to undergo sexual-reassignment surgery, Danish artist Lili Elbe (played here by Eddie Redmayne) is a transgender pioneer, but while Tom Hooper’s Oscar-baity biopic of Elbe’s life is well-intentioned and pretty to look at, it adds up to little else. As portrayed in “The Danish Girl,” Lili’s transition seems to spring forth from a sudden fascination with dresses and makeup, and the focus on the performative aspects of gender can’t help but feel like a reductive representation of what being transgender truly means. When Lili mimics the studied movements of a woman performing in a peep show, it’s an exaggerated femininity far removed from any woman’s real behavior, and it’s symptomatic of the film’s skin deep portrayal of Lili’s experience. Lucinda Coxon’s script is more effective at exploring the strain Lili’s transition puts on her marriage to fellow painter Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander). Vikander is effortlessly empathetic as Wegener provides selfless support, despite knowing that it means losing her husband forever, and Redmayne’s overly mannered performance pales in comparison. The true details of the couple’s lives are infinitely more complicated, though all the kinks have been ironed out in the name of making their story accessible to as broad an audience as possible; there’s a safe, prestige-picture tastefulness to its telling. As an introduction to what the transgender transitional process entails (which it assuredly will be for many in the audience) the film is perfectly serviceable, but there’s a missed opportunity to have created something much more revolutionary.
DIRECTED BY ALBERT MAYSLES, LYNN TRUE, NELSON WALKER, BEN WU, AND DAVID USUI SCREENS TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 7 P.M., AT THE LITTLE THEATRE
A scene from “Hitchcock/Truffaut.” PHOTO COURTESY COHEN MEDIA GROUP
“In Transit,” the lovely final film by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles, focuses on the various passengers aboard the Empire Builder, the busiest longdistance train route in America. Aided by co-directors Lynn True, Nelson Walker, Ben Wu, and David Usui, the filmmaker captures the conversations and connections formed between what were once complete strangers, and in the process provides a vivid cross-section of humanity in all its messy glory. As the title implies, many of these passengers are embarking on transitions in their own lives: a lovestruck young man heads back to his hometown to see the high school sweetheart he hasn’t seen in years; a woman returns after visiting the daughter she gave up for adoption 26 years earlier; an aging traveler who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. offers sage advice to a directionless younger man. “In Transit” exemplifies what documentaries do best, offering a window into lives outside our own familiar worldview. Whether they’re returning home or setting off on a new adventure, the passengers’ stories tap into the romanticism of traveling by train: it’s fast enough to get you where you’re going, while providing the freedom to let you sit back and contemplate the options before you get there. All the while, a ground-level view of the country landscape whooshes by, separated only by a thin pane of glass. Stick around after the film for a postscreening Skype Q&A with director, producer, and editor, Lynn True.

BEING CORA Cora describes life then as “hiding in plain sight.” And she pulled it off as a musician, the
lead singer in bands, a DJ in clubs, and as a record store fixture for almost 30 years. Still there was the glimmer of her secret beneath the charade. “Lead singers dress up all the time,” she says. “I was wearing make-up in the 1980’s in Don’t Call Me Junior. I’d change my outfit three times a show; wear vintage clothes that were androgynous. I kept playing around the edges of it.” There were still core aspects of Cora’s life that even she didn’t understand or know how to address. Technology stepped in. “When the Internet came along in the late 1990’s,” Cora says. “I joined a local cross dressers’ club and started to look into it a bit more seriously after my second marriage failed. There’s this thing, you know, the perfect woman comes along and you think maybe she can cure it. And I thought my third wife would, I really did.” But then again, Cora wasn’t entirely sure a “cure” was what she needed. “I didn’t know,” she says. “It’s very confusing; you get mixed signals. You certainly get them from society, from those you know and love, from culture, movies … As my third marriage dissolved, by mutual admission, I thought, ‘I don’t want to be unhappy the rest of my life. I want to find out about this.’ So I went online and found a gender therapist. I thought I’ve got to talk to somebody about this because I’ve got to know. It’s been the elephant in the room for some time. I was afraid to look at it.” “Oh please, yes,” Cora says when asked if she regrets not looking into it sooner. “And I wish my parents had kept the course with hormones when I was a little one.” Since coming out last year, Cora has received
an outpouring of support. She in turn runs a Facebook page for support of transgender people, and as a high profile character on the scene serves as an advocate for transgender women who have unanswered questions and no voice. Cora boils it down. “Our sex organs say we’re males,” she says. “But it’s my contention — it’s our contention — that we’ve always been women. We just have a birth defect.” And whereas Cora has embraced her new life, she’s also strongly considering taking steps toward the physical commitment as well. “I’d like to do the actual gender reassignment — or gender confirmation as we sometimes call it — within the next couple years,” she says. This includes steps to eliminate her masculine features, in particular, her penis. “These past few years it’s been painful, quite frankly, to have sex,” she says. “So yes, I do want to do it. It just feels right to me. Gender expression is how I dress. Part of it is who you are, who you want to go to bed with. 22 CITY JANUARY 6-12, 2016

My therapist asked me, ‘Can you imagine life without a penis?’ I thought about it for a week. It’s like having a dictator in your life. I’m willing to end the tyranny of the penis in my life. I don’t like it.” Though not intentional, or malicious for the most part, some misperceptions persist. Cora abides. “People think that it’s all about sex,” she says. “It isn’t. One of the questions even my oldest and dearest friends will ask, ‘So does this mean you’re gay now?’ No. I’d rather be with women, because I relate very heavily to women, always have. I had to realize at one point as much as I wanted to be with these women, I wanted to be them. I was always drawn to strong feminine energy.” Cora wears make-up, has her hair done
and sashays into the room with confidence and invigorated flair. The commitment to femininity has crossed over to her songwriting as well. “It’s funny,” she says, “in every song I’ve written — four or five completed and the fragments of 20 or 30 others — I don’t write ambiguously anymore. That was always a problem when I wrote. I always had trouble finishing a song because it never seemed like I could say what I really wanted to say. I sort of straddled the fence. I wasn’t consciously doing it; I was driven to do it. Now, I write from one truth. It’s unambiguous, it’s unapologetic. I just write and I’m very happy with what I’m writing. Cora hopes to do a show next year of new songs inspired by her transition. She describes the songs are more focused and stronger — a reflection of how she feels personally. “Music has kept me sane during the last two years of transition,” Cora says. “It supported my emotional trials by matching the sadness, the pain, the fear and anger and eventually the joy. It’s amazing how a song as innocent as ‘Georgy Girl’ by The Seekers would speak to me in no uncertain terms about my own femininity. Or Joni Mitchell’s 2002 re-do of ‘Both Sides Now’ would bring me to tears again and again.” Cora’s next step is getting body and soul on the same page. She embraces it with grace and patience. And she finds peace in the chaos of her job working for the state in a group home for developmentally disabled adults and the serenity in the honesty coming out has afforded her. “The next 20 years are going to be the best years of my life,” she says. You can sum it all up in the dichotomy of her name. “Duncan means ‘warrior,’” she says. “Treoir means ‘guide.’ And Cora (my mother’s name) means ‘young maiden’ in Greek. But in Gaelic means ‘seething pool.’ I said, ‘Perfect. I’m a warrior, I’m a guide, and I’m a seething pool. That’s it. That’s me.”’

Mr. Mason was an entrepreneur, former postmaster, cofounder of the village’s first bank, and general man about town. In 1909 his former home was moved to make way for the grand brick and wood shingled, tile-roofed Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style home now there. A grand full width front porch greets you from the street and leads to the equally grand entry. A tiled vestibule with quarter-sawn oak paneling leads to the show-stopping foyer. A waterfall staircase of quarter-sawn oak paneling, gleaming Art Nouveau stained glass, carved column capitals, and intricate inlaid wood floors set the tone for the first floor.
Valerie Clapp,
Through a broad wood colonnade, the large living room spans the front of the house with a substantial brick fireplace, oversized windows, and more inlaid floors. One of the many quarter-sawn two-panel oak doors reveals a cozy office to the side of the foyer with its own fireplace and floor inlay design. The grand dining room is fit for entertaining with its original carved glass chandelier, plate rail and Anaglypta paneled walls, stained glass windows and direct access to the butler’s pantry with first floor laundry.

designed kitchen. The kitchen fools the eye with replica cabinetry and appliances that are up to modern standards. A rear porch off the kitchen was enlarged and converted to a Craftsman style family room with a 180 degree view of the backyard. A service hall with access to the tall, dry and expansive basement, maid’s stair, and powder room completes the loop back to the waterfall stair. Proceeding past the elaborate stained glass window that lights the landing, the stair leads to the second floor which hosts four large, well-lit bedrooms and two large, original bathrooms. The bathrooms are complete with tile floors and walls, built-in shower and tubs, built-in linen closets, and original toilets all in perfect working order. A former sleeping porch has been converted to a generous office. The attic contains the original maid’s quarters and additional storage areas. The original carriage house has room for four cars. From the floors, to the refinished woodwork, to the windows, the current owners have meticulously restored this 3,838 square foot village gem. Contact RE/ MAX agent Linda Cullen at 585-503-6460 or visit the open house on January 10 from 1 to 3 p.m., and make this National Registerlisted historic home yours for $239,900. by Christopher Brandt Christopher is a longtime Landmark Society volunteer and writes about his historic home at www.myperfectlittlemoneypit.com.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
New World Order
In December, Canada’s supportive organization The Transgender Project released a biographical video of the former Paul Wolscht, 46, and the father of seven children with his exwife, Marie, describing his new life as not only a female but a 6-year-old female, Stephoknee Wolscht. She told the Daily Xtra (gay and lesbian news site) that not acting her real age (even while doing “adult” things like working a job and driving a car) enables her to escape “depression and suicidal thoughts.” Among the transage’s favorite activities are (coloringbook) coloring, creating a play-like “kingdom,” and wearing “really pretty clothes.” Stephoknee now lives with the couple who adopted her. [The Independent (London), 12-16-2015]
Unclear on the Concept
Thee, Not Me: American “millennials” (those aged 18 to 29) continue a “longstanding tradition,” The Washington Post wrote in December, describing a Harvard Institute of Politics poll on their views on war. Following the recent Paris terrorist attacks, about 60 percent of U.S. millennials said additional American troops would be needed to fight the Islamic State, but 85 percent answered, in the next question, that no, they themselves were “probably” or “definitely” not joining the military. [Washington Post, 12-10-2015]
Exceptional Floridians
(1) Police in St. Petersburg reported the December arrest of a 12-year-old boy whose rap sheet listed “more than
20” arrests since age 9. He, on a bicycle, had told an 89-year-old driver at a gas station that the man’s tire was low, and when the man got out to check, the boy hopped in the car and took off. (2) A driver accidentally plowed through two small businesses in Pensacola in December, creating such destruction that the manager of one said it looked like a bomb had hit (forcing both — a tax service and a casket company — to relocate). The driver told police he was attempting to “travel through time.” [WTSPTV (St. Petersburg), 12-15-2015] [WEAR-TV (Pensacola), 12-23-2015]
Compelling Explanations
(1) Breen Peck, 52, an air traffic controller who has been having career troubles in recent years, was arrested during a traffic stop on New York’s Long Island in December when officers found illegal drugs in his car. “That’s meth,” he said. “I’m an air traffic controller.” “I smoke it to stay awake.” (2) In a “shesaid/he-said” case, wealthy Saudi businessman Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was acquitted of rape in December in England’s Southwark Crown Court, apparently persuading jurors of “reasonable doubt” about his DNA found in the alleged victim’s vagina. Perhaps, his lawyer said, Abdulaziz was still aroused after sex with the other woman in the apartment and accidentally fell directly upon the alleged victim lying on a sofa.

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your bodacious approach to love and relationships will require a partner who can live up to your highly energetic expectations. The partner willing to experiment and give his or her all, both mentally and physically, will grab your attention, challenge you and eventually win your heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take your time getting to know whoever interests you. Problems with joint endeavors are likely. Pay your own way, and expect whomever you are with to do the same. Get to know each other’s families in order to get a better understanding of the differences in your upbringings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll want greater stability in your personal life. Don’t mistake being in love with someone with wanting to settle down and not being alone. You are in a make-it-orbreak-it cycle where relationships are concerned, causing self-doubt and uncertainty. Don’t feel pressured to make a commitment. CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’ll be attracted to partners who are very different from you. Before you jump in and offer a forever promise, make sure you fully understand what you are getting into. It’s best to learn more about the changes you will be expected to make before taking a leap of faith.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have plenty of choice and should be content enjoying whatever and whoever comes your way. Enjoying the company of a variety of unique individuals will give you a better perspective when it comes to knowing what qualities are important to you in a lifelong relationship. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll face obstacles. Emotional matters will be difficult to decipher, leaving you in a vulnerable position if you become too serious with someone you’ve just met. Opt to enjoy yourself and to be fun to be with, and the people you encounter will readily reveal their true colors.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll attract a long-distance relationship. Don’t feel you have to make a snap decision when it comes to love. If someone pressures you, back away. Make sure the person you are attracted to isn’t involved with someone else. A secret affair is likely to develop if you aren’t selective. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): When it comes to entertainment and the type of activities or events you attend, stick to familiar territory. You’ll be misled if you are gullible or you overlook traits that indicate a lack of loyalty. Use your intuition, ask direct questions and proceed with caution.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Emotional situations will be difficult to control. A lack of discretion or honesty will cause confusion and encourages a one-night stand. Think twice before you engage in flirtatious activity with someone you barely know. An overindulgent attitude will lead to trouble as well as regret. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 20): Don’t make an impulsive decision when it comes to a personal relationship. You’ll end up backtracking if you extend an invitation to someone you will probably lose interest in quickly. Take your time and get to know the person you are attracted to before you start making plans.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): You’ll have huge emotional appeal that will put you in an excellent position when recruiting new love interests. Your steady pace coupled with your innovative and playful ideas and plans will make you a magnet for anyone looking for someone unique and adventuresome. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20): Participating in groups geared toward helping others will encourage an encounter with someone who understands your values. Refuse to let someone who hurt you in the past come back in your life. Look forward with optimism, using the experience you’ve had to eliminate poor candidates for love.
