The gay golden years Gay culture is sometimes criticized for an exaggerated emphasis on youth, but there is growing awareness about older members of the LGBT community — people who have reached their mid60’s, and are living into their 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. In some respects, LGBT seniors face the same issues that most seniors encounter: less mobility, limited incomes, and managing chronic illnesses. But LGBT seniors often confront those issues along with the injustices and abuses that accompany discrimination.
Elderly LGBT people frequently find themselves in an unusual predicament: while they may have lived through the liberating gay-rights movement, they often discover that some of those freedoms are lost in their golden years. Some LGBT seniors decide it’s better to go back into the closet. Others decide they are going to remain out, but it’s a struggle. The fear of entering a senior-living environment where LGBT seniors aren’t accepted for who they are can be overwhelming. Pictured are Pittsford residents Marvin Ritzenthaler, left, and Steven Jarose.

RPD needs to rebuild trust
I have supported the RPD on some significant issues in the past, such as on some occasions regarding the use of deadly force. In this recent incident with the arrest of a citizen videotaping a traffic stop, and the RPD then going through the neighborhood issuing tickets, the police themselves are creating the public image and PR problem that prompt people to take pictures of their traffic stops in the first place: the sense that the RPD is behaving unfairly, inappropriately, or unprofessionally. Maybe the RPD was technically correct to issue the tickets. But that is bad judgment and poor use of the discretion [and time] law-enforcement personnel have. It is vindictive, vengeful, and on the verge of childish. It comes across as not practicing the professionalism people want and expect of their law enforcement and public-safety professionals. It lacks self-restraint. When the RPD does that, it creates and contributes to the very public relations and citizen relationship problems they complain about. They do not get to have it both ways. I write not out of a wish to criticize, but to have the RPD — management and union — do things differently: to take a different approach and attitude to public service and community relations. It will probably take time to build or rebuild the trust. Let’s start today. JERE FLETCHER, ROCHESTER

Ms. Thurman gave a thoughtful and thorough explanation of her idea of marriage in the June 22-28 issue. She displays the limitations of her idea of marriage, though, when she says, “marriage
is primarily a social contract between two individuals and the government.” If that were the case, then the rest of her sentence on marriage “changing” over the years would be accurate. The seeds to destruct Ms. Thurman’s arguments lie in her own words. Most important, marriage is older than any government and therefore cannot be defined by any government. From the beginning, marriage was a sacramental covenant between a man, a woman, and God — not a contract with the government. That is the difference. If Ms. Thurman is right, then yes, any government can shift and shape marriage to its own image. The truth, however, is that marriage was God’s first institution and has precedence over any and every government, and cannot be changed or redefined by any man-made institution. So when Ms. Thurman cites 19th century Austrian peasants being unable to marry because of the cost imposed by the rich, that is the result of mankind subjugating another part of mankind — not any change in the structure or definition of marriage. That kind of oppression by the rich should not be surprising to the readers of this paper. It shows that the attack on marriage and traditional family is not exclusive to our age. I commend Ms. Thurman for pointing that out. As for her argument of who excels at raising children, the truth stands that ideally, the best situation is a biological mother and father. If we have less than ideal situations such as stepfamilies or adoptions, they must still reflect God’s original design of father, mother, and child. KURT GRIFFEN, NORTH CHILI

On Emily Good: How did this traf-
fic stop have anything to do with racial profiling? What, because the cop is white and the man who he pulled over is black? What was Ms. Good hoping to accomplish? J
Every time someone complains about the police, whether it’s an individual or a group, we’re always told things like, “you don’t understand how hard the job is,” or “look at how many young cops there are.” Look, people are shouting from the rooftops that there is a problem with our police department. You can keep denying
or making excuses, but every incident shows that there is a problem here. Has either the department or police union EVER admitted that an officer has done something wrong? Ever? DAVE ATIAS
On Jim Alesi and marriage equality: I’ve said it many times...in
America, I am confident of just one thing. No matter how long it takes, no matter how difficult the fight, human rights will always prevail. Jim Alesi has the great distinction of helping the effort of human rights and he has the distinction of not being a party... but in fact he can think and act outside the Republican box. TOM JANOWSKI
Alesi cannot win a Republican primary because of his lawsuit, coupled with his vote on marriage equality. He cannot win a Democrat primary because he would be seen as a turncoat. Alesi cannot, therefore, rely on swing voters or disenfranchised voters on other lines. He will not get to the general election to depend on other lines. He will not survive the primary season. It is called political science, not political emotion...he cannot get the votes to win. CLINT
While I am glad Alesi “did the right thing,” I have to believe, based on his 15-year record, that he did it to save his own seat. Like most politicos in this state, he would throw his mother under a bus if it got him 10 more votes. SETH
On stronger teacher evaluations:
The job’s hard enough that very few incompetent teachers last very long anyway. The results we see that provoke such alarm are not due to bad teachers. We can only work with the materials at hand. When a high-school teacher gets 15 or more of 25 students in a class who cannot read at a thirdgrade level, there’s only so much improvement they can get the students to achieve in 10 months. It’s not the teachers who need to be held to a higher standard. It’s the students. That, however, would require real guts. YUGOBOY

COMMENTARY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Our mass hysteria over the US debt It sounds like a TV reality show: “The Biggest Deadbeat.” Maybe that’s because the brinkmanship over raising the national debt is partly political theater, and the surest sign that the 2012 presidential election has begun. The Obama administration has been meeting with congressional leaders to work out a deficit-reduction deal. If an agreement isn’t reached soon and the nation’s debt ceiling isn’t raised, the US could go into default. It’s a startling position for the richest country in the world to be in. And no one knows for sure what a default would mean, but I’ll make a wild guess and say it can’t be good. Just watching what unfolded in Greece recently should be a warning. A default would impact almost everyone in ways we can’t even imagine. The wrangling to get to a deficitreduction deal has been about two issues. One has to do with reducing the nation’s debt. The other is really about the future of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security — what some people like to call entitlement programs. Concern about bringing the debt under control has slowly turned into hysteria. Republicans have held fast to not raising taxes. No elimination of the Bush tax cuts. No increase in individual or corporate taxes. Even closing tax loopholes, something both parties usually agree on, has been redefined as an increase in taxes on the rich. Republicans argue that raising taxes would kill jobs, but the evidence isn’t there. Some of our most productive years were also our highest-taxed years. Even former President Ronald Reagan understood this and raised taxes. Joel Slemrod, former economic advisor to Reagan, recently told Bloomberg News that congressional posturing over raising taxes on the pretense that it kills jobs simply isn’t true. Bruce Bartlett, another economic adviser to Reagan, was quoted in the New York Times: “By the broadest measure of the tax rate, the current level is unusually low and has been for some time. And recent public opinion polls show that Americans are not averse to raising taxes.” An MSNBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed that 81 percent of Americans favor a surtax on millionaires, and 68 percent favored phasing out the Bush tax cuts. A New York Times-CBS News poll showed that 56 percent of Americans do not believe corporations pay their fair
Republicans argue that raising taxes would kill jobs, but the evidence isn’t there.” share of taxes, and a measly 4 percent believed that corporations actually use tax cuts to reinvest and create jobs. Maybe that’s because there are plenty of examples of large corporations receiving tax cuts while they cut jobs. The Obama administration finally began pushing back on some of this rhetoric two weeks ago by calling for a balanced approach — a combination of spending cuts and some increases in revenue. Many Democrats and independents agree with Republicans: some spending cuts are necessary. And from the sound of it, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are on the table. But the poor and the middle class shouldn’t be asked to underwrite deficit reduction on the pretense that the rich will either consume or invest more. Americans should know by now that trickle-down economics hasn’t worked. Salaries for CEO’s continue to get higher, while average workers — if they still have a job — are earning less. The real fight here is ideological. Are we a country that invests in ourselves? Do we feed and educate our children? Do we care for our sick and elderly? Or are we a country that leaves all of that to individual responsibility? Everyone knows that reducing a multitrillion dollar national debt, much of it the result of unfunded wars, can’t be done by cutting spending alone. Revenue, taxes, or whatever Washington wants to call it, needs to be raised, too. But cutting spending is one sure way of making effective programs that people like — Medicare and Medicaid — ineffective and unpopular. Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal is on break. It returns next week.

EPA sets new rules for power plants
The federal Environmental Protection Agency announced a new set of interstate clean-air rules, which will limit emissions from power plants in 27 Eastern states and the District of Columbia. The rules target mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide contribute significantly to ground- level ozone.
Dems want contractor registry
County Legislature Democrats introduced legislation to create a countywide home contractor registry. The registry would be administered by the county Weights and Measures Department, and contractors would have to register before they could provide services. Any contractor that doesn’t finish a job or performs substandard work could be fined.
Enforcement of DADT ends
A federal appeals court ruling ended enforcement of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the federal policy banning openly

More state employees cut
Layoff notices were sent to 321 state workers, according to the governor’s office. Members of the Public Employees Federation were the main recipients of notices. The governor’s office cites an inability to reach agreement with union leaders. The layoffs will include workers in the Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation. The notices follow earlier layoffs of more than 400 state workers.

Cobblestone School has avoided a financial crisis, but will have to sell its Prince Street building. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Cobblestone School will move Significant money challenges will not force Cobblestone School to close, but it will have to relocate, school officials say. With its brick exterior and picturesque setting on 10 Prince Street, the Cobblestone School has been a fixture in Rochester’s education community since 1983. A private, tuition-based school, Cobblestone is known for its small classroom sizes and its non-traditional approach to teaching. Though Cobblestone has always been a small school, offering pre-K to eighth-grade instruction, enrollment has steadily declined while the number of students needing financial aid has
increased. Enrollment fell from a high of nearly 200 students about a decade ago to 55 last year. That caused the school’s board members to contemplate closing Cobblestone’s doors, says Bridget McLaughlin, a Cobblestone teacher and board member. “The past three years have been very tight,” McLaughlin says. “The budget gap we faced was quite serious this year.” But Cobblestone will open in September, she says. To raise money, the school has stepped-up marketing and fund-raising efforts, and the school’s board decided to sell its Prince Street building. The sale won’t happen for about a year, however,
and the school hasn’t yet found a new location. Cobblestone’s financial problems grew with the increase in charter schools, which do not charge tuition, McLaughlin says. The challenge from charters was so great, consideration was even given to turning Cobblestone into a charter school, says Rose Martin, the school’s former director. But that would have meant compromising on one of its core values, she says: Cobblestone doesn’t support giving its students the so-called high-stakes tests. “We wouldn’t be independent,” Martin says. “It wouldn’t be Cobblestone.”

McFadden pushes for new RFD hiring process
‘Face’ time for Robach, Gantt
City Council is considering legislation to hire a firm to create a new firefighter entrance exam. The legislation calls for the creation of “a new, multidimensional exam” to Adam McFadden. FILE PHOTO boost recruitment of minority candidates. But Council member Adam McFadden, who is chair of the Public Safety Committee, says that the entire hiring process has to change, not just the exam. “What we have been doing has not been working for us, in terms of bringing diversity on the force,” McFadden says. “Most of the people who do public safety in our city do not live in our city. The force is just not reflective of what our population is.” McFadden did not have the racial or gender breakdown for the fire department on hand, but said that representation of both groups is very low. Rochester Fire Chief John Caufield could not be reached for comment. A 2007 report said that of the 515 uniformed firefighters in the City of Rochester,
For at least two area legislators, the backlash from this year’s legislative session in Albany has already begun: on Facebook. Over the last month, people have created pages targeting Senator Joe Robach and Assembly member David Gantt. | It’s unclear who’s behind the Robach effort, though wall posts on one page tend to focus on his “no” vote on marriage-equality legislation. The page’s description says it’s “dedicated to bringing awareness that Joe Robach is not the best candidate to represent the 56th district.” It also chides Robach for not listening to constituents, a claim that Robach would undoubtedly reject vigorously. | The Gantt page is a bit different. It was started by Dave Atias, who’s active with the Monroe County Green Party. The page is not overtly critical, and a description on the page says the purpose is to “keep an eye on” the Assembly member and to facilitate the exchange of facts and observations. | “David has not had serious competition for his seat for a number of years and we hope that this group may facilitate someone to come forward to run against him,” the description says.

13 percent were minorities. And that the department employed a total of seven women. McFadden and Caufield were in Kansas City last weekend to observe that fire department’s hiring process, with an eye on improving Rochester’s own method. “We got to talk to rank-and-file firefighters, we got to talk to the leadership,” McFadden says. “They are cutting edge in terms of the mechanisms they use to bring firefighters in.” For example, McFadden says, Kansas City doesn’t make potential recruits take a physical exam right away, which has the effect of weeding people out. Cadets take the test several weeks into their training, he says. “So you don’t spend money putting 300 to 400 people through physical fitness testing,” McFadden says. “You spend money putting a cadet in class through it.” Kansas City applicants are given a literacy test first, McFadden says. After that, applicants are put through verbal interviews, which are recorded and viewed by a panel of teachers. The purpose, McFadden says, is to eliminate bias in questioning. “It’s not about making [the process] ‘minority friendly,’” McFadden says. “It’s about ending the biases that exist now.”

Legal test looms for fracking bans Zoning and other land-use laws are valuable tools for communities. They can be used to control growth, separate incompatible activities, and even squeeze out or prohibit some uses. That last function may set the stage for one of the next battles over hydraulic fracturing in New York. Some communities in the state — the Town of Dryden in Tompkins County, for example — have passed local laws ban fracking within their limits. Others are considering them. Whether those laws will stick is another question, however, and if state officials lift the moratorium on fracking, the conflict will almost certainly play out in the courts. These bans occupy a legal gray area between local zoning rights and the state natural resources laws that may usurp them. “I still figure that the courts will be the real arena in which the boundaries of local zoning authority will have to be tested,” says David Kay, a land use planning expert with Cornell Cooperative Extension. Kay serves on the extension’s Marcellus Shale Team. Local zoning will play a role in the State Department of Environmental Conservation’s drilling permit reviews. Agency officials recently recommended that the state allow fracking on private land, and that the procedure be subject to restrictions and concrete regulations. One of those rules will require drilling permit applicants to confirm that their projects are consistent with local zoning laws
and land-use planning. If a local government says that a potential well is not consistent, it can raise the objection with the DEC, says Emily DeSantis, a DEC spokesperson. The agency will then conduct a more detailed analysis of the well’s compatibility with local land-use regulations, she says. If the DEC grants the drilling permit despite the objections, that opens the door for the community to sue the agency. “What we would hope is that the applicant and the town would work something out,” DeSantis says. State environmental laws prohibit communities from regulating mining and drilling, says Rochester environmental attorney Alan Knauf. But the same laws appear to let municipalities decide whether mining and gas and oil drilling are acceptable uses in their zoning districts, he says. Towns have used that language to zone out gravel mines, Knauf says, and the same interpretation will probably be applied to fracking.
Towns may be able to use zoning laws to prevent natural-gas drilling within their borders, but courts have yet to weigh in on the matter. FILE PHOTO
The January-February 2010 edition of the New York Zoning Law and Practice Report highlights such a case in Chautauqua County. The Town of Carroll passed a zoning law that prohibited mining in a specific zoning district, and the law was upheld in the state’s higher courts. Dryden’s law takes a similar approach: banning high-impact heavy industry, a designation that includes but does not single out natural gas drilling, says a June 22 post on the Ithaca Times’ web site, www.ithaca.com. Cornell Extension’s Kay says there are attorneys who have been helping local governments draft land-use laws that seize on local zoning rights and mining case law.
Communities have in the past made creative use of zoning laws to restrict other activities. The classic example is the adult book store. Local governments often develop laws that limit the shops to industrial areas. or impose severe restrictions on where the shops can locate. Adult book stores, however, aren’t subject to state laws that trump local zoning laws. Natural gas drilling is, and that’s what any court battle is likely to be about.

Clock ticking on DA race Republican District Attorney candidate Bill Taylor spent part of the July 4 holiday marching in parades, engaging with the crowds, and just getting his name and face out there. A genial guy, Taylor comes off well in such settings. About a week earlier, Taylor’s campaign announced that it had raised $100,000 and had drawn more 100 volunteers. In other words, Taylor has a full-fledged, active campaign in motion. Democrats on the other hand have not yet settled on a candidate and risk falling behind in the race. They’re in a holding pattern while they wait for the incumbent, Democratic District Attorney Mike Green, to receive Senate confirmation for a federal judgeship. “It’s imminent,” says Joe Morelle, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee. City
JULY 13-19, 2011
What Morelle means is that once the Senate Judiciary Committee reports a presidential appointment to the Senate, it’s typically only a couple of weeks before a vote. And it’s rare for the full Senate to reject a candidate who has received the committee’s approval. Democrats are holding their DA nomination open so that if by some unforeseen circumstance Green isn’t confirmed, he can run for re-election. In a perfect world Democrats would already have a replacement candidate selected for the DA’s race and that person would be out campaigning, Morelle says. He says he hasn’t thought about what will happen if Green’s confirmation vote drags far into the summer because he’s comfortable that the situation will “work itself out.” And Morelle says he’s not worried about the eventual Democratic candidate suffering

because of the delay. The party, he says, will have adequate resources to fund and staff the campaign. He says he’s not worried about name recognition, either. That may have
something to do with his preferred candidate: County Court Judge Frank Geraci, who has been elected county-wide twice and to City Court before that. Morelle says Geraci is also the favorite of county party leadership. Other potential candidates have approached the Democratic Committee, so there are backups in case Geraci doesn’t run. Morelle wouldn’t say who they are. Regardless of whom the Democrats run, the race will focus on each candidate’s credentials, ethics, and approaches. Taylor promises aggressive prosecution and limited plea bargains. Democrats are, for now, stressing the need to run an apolitical office. Morelle promises a candidate with the “highest credentials and highest ethics.” Taylor has served as county attorney and in the county attorney’s office.

When Bud, an elderly gay man who lives in a Rochester-area residential community for seniors, posted news clippings outside his door regarding same-sex marriage, the reaction he got from other residents was not overwhelmingly positive. “Some of the pictures were taken down,” he says. “Once someone pinned note paper covering over a picture.” It was a little intimidating, Bud says. It’s also an example of a culture that can be deeply entrenched in some traditional nursing and assisted-living homes: prejudice that can have a profound emotional impact on elderly members of the LGBT community. Though Bud, who recently celebrated his 84th birthday, is out, he’s still cautious. He lives alone and he asked that his last name not be printed. “I’ve always been me,” he says. “But I’ve been careful not to out myself to the wrong people.” Bud is certainly not the first gay man to move into a senior-living community. But he is part of a population of seniors that is gradually becoming more visible both nationally and locally. Gay culture is sometimes criticized for its exaggerated emphasis on youth, but there is growing awareness about older members of the LGBT community — people who have reached their mid60’s, and are living into their 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. What do we know about them? What are their concerns? Are senior-living communities and nursing homes becoming more accepting of their gay clients? And how do they treat gay couples? After New York passed same-sex marriage
legislation last month, Bud found a message posted outside his door. Someone wrote a note saying, “Congratulations on gay marriage. I’m so proud to live in a state that’s leaning toward equality.” “That really put a smile on my face,” he says. City
JULY 13-19, 2011
But Bud’s experience of gradual acceptance, though a good sign, is not shared by all LGBT seniors. In some respects, LGBT seniors face the same issues and daily trials that many seniors face: less mobility, limited incomes, and managing illnesses. But LGBT seniors often confront those issues along with the injustices and abuses that accompany discrimination. And elderly LGBT people frequently find themselves in a strange and unexpected predicament: while they have lived through the liberating gay-rights movement, they often discover that they stand to lose some of those freedoms in what are supposed to be their golden years. “Many elderly LGBT people were not out through most of their lives, and they learned the importance of hiding,” says Scott Fearing, program director for the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley. “Some [LGBT seniors] tend to go back into the closet,” he says. Unlike LGBT youth today, who are used to seeing gay characters positively portrayed on television and in film, LGBT seniors remember a time when it wasn’t safe to be out. In the early 20th century, homosexuality was viewed as something beyond scandalous, and could result in the loss of a job or housing. Given the history of discrimination toward LGBT people, it’s understandable why many LGBT seniors are reluctant about being out. Part of it, too, may be due to an increased sense of vulnerability that sometimes comes with aging, Fearing says. Hiding may also help explain why it is sometimes difficult to find solid data concerning LGBT seniors. According to “Outing Age 2010,” a publication by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, most of the research until recently has focused on elderly gay males. Much less research has been done on lesbians, and relatively little research has focused on bisexual and transgender seniors. This can present problems in health care, Fearing says. Little is known, for example, about the long-

Education and cultural competency training for nurses, social workers, and senior care-givers will lead to greater acceptance, says Rainbow SAGE member and long-time LGBT activist Saundra Ehman.
term use of hormones among transgender seniors, he says, or how the hormones will interact with other medications. Researchers estimate that there are between two million and seven million elderly LGBT people living in the US today. And studies indicate that living in social and economic marginalization extracts a toll from LGBT seniors. Compared to their heterosexual peers, LGBT seniors are at greater risk of isolation, poverty, and homelessness. The majority of LGBT seniors live alone, while their heterosexual peers are much more likely to live with their children or a caretaking family member. And research shows that seniors who live alone are at much greater risk of serious injuries, depression, and alcohol abuse. And contrary to the stereotype that often portrays gays as financially secure with plenty of disposable income, research indicates that a significant percentage of LGBT seniors face financial difficulties in their later years. Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders in New York City reported that about 35 percent of its clients in 2009 were Medicaid eligible with annual pretax incomes below $10,000. The situation is especially troubling for transgender seniors. Though they are typically more educated than the general population, transgender seniors
are twice as likely to live below the poverty line, according to the California-based Transgender Law Center. While many LGBT seniors slip back into
the closet, others struggle to remain out: they dread transitioning into a nursing home or assisted living community, says Brian Hurlburt of Rainbow SAGE of the Genesee Valley. Many LGBT seniors have wrestled for years with being honest about their sexual orientation, Hurlburt says, and they don’t want to go back in time. “They really fear that they can’t be who they are during these years,” Hurlburt says. For instance, they might be afraid to share close living quarters with heterosexual seniors who, for personal or religious reasons, still look at LGBT people through a 1950’s lens. “Fear of having to go back into the closet is overwhelming for them,” Hurlburt says. “Some just can’t do it.” Rainbow SAGE, the local chapter of the national SAGE organization, is one of several local groups working to alleviate these fears. The group holds social activities such as pot lucks, picnics, and holiday celebrations. But SAGE is also active in advocacy and cultural competency training. Members speak to health-care workers,
LGBT people have always been in nursing homes and senior living communities, but haven’t always been visible, says Scott Fearing, program director for the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley.
caregivers, and nursing and assisted-living workers who are in daily contact with LGBT seniors. “The big word everyone wants to hear is ‘acceptance,’” says Saundra Ehman, SAGE member and a long-time Rochester advocate for LGBT seniors. “We’re pigeon-holed. When you say the words ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian,’ many straight people immediately focus on the person’s sexuality. That’s just a small part of what we’re talking about. We’re talking about making the person comfortable being themselves. They deserve that.” Ehman says she remembers hearing a nurse in one home refer to an elderly gay man as “just an old queer.” She says the incident was so disturbing that she couldn’t forget it. “That kind of abuse is why people are afraid,” she says. “And this is what we’re trying to change.” LGBT seniors who need to enter a nursing home want to be assured that they are going to be treated with respect, Hurlburt says. When LGBT couples aren’t allowed to share a room, it only increases the sense of isolation for both people, he says. But there are signs that cultural sensitivity training may be working. “We’re always trying to make sure that we’re culturally aware and sensitive to all segments of the [senior] community,” says Mary Kanerva, Catholic Family Center’s director of aging adult services.
The organization’s mission is to help people remain independent for as long as possible, she says. “I think it’s very important that we alleviate the fears,” she says. “We really try to meet every person where they are.” And in some regions of the country — California, Arizona, and Florida, for example — there are a few “affinity” retirement communities, designed with the LGBT client in mind. The 10-acre Fountaingrove Lodge in Santa Rosa, California bills itself as the first gay continuing-care retirement community in the country. Though progress is being made, society still
has a long way to go before meeting the needs of LGBT seniors, says local attorney Jennifer Gravitz. And much of the problem, she says, is linked to institutionalized homophobia and discrimination. As well-meaning as the medical, legal, and social-work communities are, she says, the problems are deeply entrenched. Institutionalized homophobia creates its own unique form of suppression on LGBT seniors, Gravitz says, and it tends to impact them at the worst possible time — when they are living on limited incomes, coping with a chronic illness, or when a partner needs long-term care. “First, we have to consider the mindset of people who are in their 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s,” she says. “They may not be aware of their choices, or they are fearful if they
share who they are, they’ll be further marginalized, punished, or denied services that they truly need.” The institutionalized challenges LGBT seniors face range from laws affecting inheritance to benefits. LGBT couples have no automatic right to inherit from a partner or spouse. They face higher taxation on an inheritance on deferred benefits, such as an IRA or pension. And surviving LGBT partners are not always eligible to receive deferred benefits. “There are many benefits still today that domestic partners cannot receive, the military’s being one of them,” Gravitz says. “The preclusion of being able to receive Social Security from a deceased partner is another.” Gravitz is also troubled by an actuarial issue, particularly as it relates to financial and long-term planning. Most of the planning models are designed for heterosexual couples where it is well known statistically that women tend to outlive their husbands by about seven years. “But what happens to those models when you have a family of two men?” she says. Statistically, the two could become critically ill and pass away within a few years of each other. A family of two women, however, could each live, according to statistics, for years with disabling illnesses. What’s the unique impact on each of those families, she says, when the planning models used are not typically designed with their needs in mind? But the biggest discriminatory hurdle most LGBT seniors face has to do with Medicaid. While a short list of states have legalized same-sex marriage, the Defense of Marriage Act still prevails. The federal legislation signed into law in 1996 by former President Bill Clinton defines marriage as an act between one man and one woman, and it has direct influence over Medicaid rules. Medicaid was designed to care for the truly poor, Gravitz says, who require the chronic care of a nursing home. A heterosexual couple can spend down or transfer assets to, for example, help the wife qualify to enter a nursing home. But the husband is allowed to keep the house and all of its equity, which can amount to thousands of dollars. The law does not impoverish the husband or the heterosexual “community

spouse” in order to make sure the patient or wife receives the care she needs. But domestic partners or legally married LGBT couples aren’t recognized by Medicaid law. “They are legal strangers to one another,” Gravitz says. “It means that the house that they purchased decades ago and is paid off now has to be divided in half. And the community partner, the person not going into the nursing home, now has to buy back his or her own house.” Joint accounts are presumed to be the assets of the person requiring Medicaid, unless the community partner can prove ownership of half of the money, she says. “That’s just how the Medicaid rules are written,” Gravitz says. “Unlike the community heterosexual spouse who is permitted to keep a certain amount of income, savings, and a car, all of that has to be liquidated. And the gay or lesbian community partner gets nothing. We’ve accomplished the opposite of what Congress intended for the heterosexual spouses.” This means the LGBT senior and community partner, who may be emotionally and physically frail, too, could now be made destitute so the ill partner will qualify for Medicaid and accepted into a nursing home. “I can think of nothing more cruel or inhumane,” Gravitz says.
“I’ve always been me. But I’ve been careful not to out myself to the wrong people.” BUD

Pho has been Vietnamese Sandwiches. The legend beneath widely available for a while, but banh mi was the name of the dish on the menu described slower to take off. For the better part of three years the only banh-mi counter I knew of was at a rice plate topped with “BBQ Spare Ribs the back of Vinh-Hao Music & Video and Banh with Shredded Pork and Eggs” (com xuong bi cha, $7.50) I’m guessing that the delectable Mi Café on Clinton Avenue. Earlier this year lemongrass-rubbed barbecued pork chop was that started to change. First, a non-Vietnamese the barbecued spare rib, but for the life of me restaurant, the Owl House, rolled out its version of a vegetarian banh mi. Then, within two I couldn’t find any egg either on top of the months of each other, two different banh-mi res- dish or mixed in with the rice.

There was also a pushed the envelope a bit beyond the reassuring dish of the all-purpose fish sauce-based dressing nuoc cham (vinegar and lime juice go a long way to mellow the aggressive taste of fermented fish). But where was the shredded pork? The only other thing on the plate was a heap of what looked like fine glass noodles studded with bits of cherry-red Chinese-style roasted pork. Thinking that perhaps the friendly lady behind the counter had gotten my order wrong, I poured on the nuoc cham and dug into the glass noodles. Remember when I said that Vietnamese food is usually what it appears to be? I stand corrected. Those noodles were actually thinly shredded filaments of pork skin (known as bi). They are tasty, something akin to a slightly crunchy pork spaghetti, but when your brain is prepared for the neutral, cool flavor that comes with rice or bean thread noodles, it takes a couple moments to reorient A Lee’s Special and a durian shake from Lee’s Vietnamese your expectations. Stirred into Sandwiches on Monroe Avenue. PHOTO by matt deturck the rice and jacked up with a
goodly hit of nuoc cham, I could almost see myself resorting to bi as a snack food, or as an alternative to vermicelli in spring rolls. It was unexpected, and surprisingly tasty. Lee’s, more than any other Vietnamese joint
in Rochester aside from, perhaps, Pho Duong Dong, offers diners a glimpse of Vietnamese food made for people from Vietnam rather than tamed for the American palate. Umamiladen fish sauce, often served very diluted in American-oriented Vietnamese restaurants, is very much in evidence here, often the first thing you smell and the lingering flavor on your tongue after each bite of food. The menu is scattered with dishes that include ingredients, like bi, that are pretty far outside of most American diners’ comfort zones. In addition to shredded pork skin, you can find beef stew with crunchy bits of tendon swimming in the spicy, thick brown broth; dense, finely textured pork meatballs grilled on skewers and served in a sandwich (banh mi xiu mai, $3.50); and, of course, the various patés and mystery meats that are the backbone of good banh mi (banh mi $3.50-$3.75). If you are willing to branch out a bit from the familiar, even the drinks at Lee’s can be a novel experience. The combination of avocado with sugar, milk, and ice in a milkshake seems counterintuitive at first, but pop these ingredients in a blender and you may never make guacamole again. Avocado is among the fattiest of fruits, and the same wonderful, round flavor that it gives to everyone’s favorite Mexican condiment makes it ideal as the star player in a milkshake. It doesn’t hurt that avocado’s savor is not at all dulled by chilling it (sinh to bo, $2.75). In addition to avocado, Lee’s has mango, strawberry, pineapple, and papaya milkshakes ($2.75-$3.50), but lurking at the bottom of the list you’ll also find sinh to xoai rieng — a durian milkshake ($3.50). To foodies, durian may be the ultimate daredevil food. You’ve probably seen it at any of the local Asian grocery stores, stacked up in spiky piles in the produce section. Resembling a spike-covered football, durian is an Asian delicacy, often eaten as a dessert, and a popular flavor for both ice cream, pastry filling, and milkshakes. I’ll be frank: it smells like rotting garbage — really foul rotting garbage. But it tastes amazing, simultaneously cheesy (think ripe camembert or gorgonzola) and fruity (very ripe berries or stone fruit). Lee’s cuts the fruit with a generous amount of milk and ice, making it palatable for even the most timid of tastes. Even if it’s not something you’ll go back to again and again, as with all things, you owe it to yourself to try it at least once.

All kinds of boogie [ review ] by frank de blase
Life is too damn short for bad music, whether it’s the result of a lack of talent, or just phoned in by some burned-out bum on a stage. I usually ask around or do a little web research before exposing myself to a potential waste of time. However lately I’ve been throwing caution to the wayside, I’ve been rolling the dice, barreling headlong into live music situations I know little about. I saw Davina and the Vagabonds this way last Wednesday, July 6. I had never heard of the group, didn’t even know what it looked like, but there I was with my jaw on the floor. This band blew me away. I dodged the jitterbuggers to get a closer look. Leading the whole to-do was the perky and pretty Davina Sowers perched behind the elephant teeth, her hair riveted up Rosie-style. There was an upright bass that thumped along with the drummer’s big beat, and a two-man brass section. Yet this torrid Twin City tornado of an outfit seemed somehow bigger. There was all kinds of boogie — woogie, too — coming off the bandstand. It had a heavy Louis Prima feel, with Sowers’ voice calling to mind Ingrid Lucia (of the Flying Neutrinos) and even a less melancholy Billie Holiday. A double bill with these hipsters and Rochester’s hellfire-and-brimstone revivalists The Lobster Quadrille would be insanely fun. Let’s make it happen.
I hadn’t seen Rochester punk rockers
Preemptive Strike in several years. The band
is essentially the same, yet the trio has nailed down its songs a little more. Before it was as if the music might get ahead of the musicians, wrapped up in their overall enthusiasm. Friday night at Water Street Music Hall, the enthusiasm remained but the band was in charge. It was angry bursts of guitar driven by a beat that can only be described as fun. There were still elements of slop and sleaze, but hey, that’s the basis of the genre. Preemptive Strike was warming the boards for CJ Ramone. I’m somewhat conflicted when it comes to tribute bands, or bands that tour as skeletons of their former selves when nobody is left. I reconciled this inner dispute in time to see the second night of Ramone’s “American Punk” tour. Ramone was the last bass player for The Ramones before the band called it quits in 1996. Along for the ride on this tour was producer Daniel Rey on guitar. Rey produced a number of the band’s albums, including “Too Tough To Die” and “Adios Amigos.” CJ Ramone’s set was waycool, all classic material done with blazing accuracy — except for the drums, which were played a little fancier than the music dictates. Sadly there were less than 100 people at the show. Ramone brought the blitzkrieg nonetheless.

Rhythmic communion The Henrie Brothers Part of Bop Fest 5 Saturday, July 16 Village Gate Courtyard, 274 N. Goodman St. 2-7 p.m. | Free | bopshop.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase
The Henrie Brothers are as enigmatic and eclectic as they are legendary amongst oldtime music fans. At the height of the band’s popularity, its members — brothers Bobby, Tom, Bill, Doug, and John Henrie — were constants on the scene, playing square dances, weddings, weekend dances at area communes, as well as wowing fans at national folk festivals. Although the band stopped performing regularly decades ago, its reputation in the Upstate New York folk scene endures. And this weekend The Henrie Brothers — along with spin-off groups like The Djangoners and Les Preliminaires — will be the center of attention for the first day of the 5th Annual Bop Shop Bop Fest at Village Gate. The five brothers were part of a family that included three sisters as well. Their mother, Loretta Henrie, saw music as a parenting tool. There was just so much she could do. “I always say I reached the peak of my efficiency when I had three children,” she says. “They’d say, ‘You let those little boys do everything.’ And I said, ‘You have just so much strength and energy just to survive, you know?’” The boys had grown up listening to Loretta play guitar. Inspired by the folk boom in the 14 City JULY 13-19, 2011
1960’s, she sang folk songs to them. The Henrie boys ate it up, literally: Loretta’s mahogany Martin guitar had teeth marks on it. “We used to bite on it and gnaw on it,” says Bobby. “If it wasn’t for that Martin guitar we probably wouldn’t have played music,” Bill says. When Loretta’s sister died and left her some money, she knew what to do. “I bought a bunch of instruments so they’d have more than just the guitar,” she says. The band was born. It kept them out of trouble and made up for the busted TV. It was Bill that turned the family on to old-
time music after he soured on rock ’n’ roll. “I played electric guitar back in 1969,” he says. “You know, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton. I was a guitar-screaming-lead kind of guy. That’s what I liked. I had a band, we were horrible. At some point there was a shift in music in the early 70’s and rock ’n’ roll got a little boring for a while there…. I mean, have you ever heard of a band called Toto? Boston?” Bill was on a quest. He sold his electric guitar and bought an acoustic. “But I didn’t really change styles,” he says. “I was still searching. I was down in Ithaca and heard the Highwoods String Band. And the Cornell Folk Festival happened about that time. So there was all this music, and it seemed like the alternative I was looking for.” At the same time, the other brothers caught The Swamp Roots String Band at the Cottage Hotel in Mendon, which also inspired them. “We were excited,” says Bobby. “It was just a matter of getting the instruments together and making it happen.
We had to figure out who was going to play fiddle, mandolin, and bass.” “A few weeks after I started the fiddle, the fiddle took over my brain,” Bill says. “There was just no doubt, this is what I had to do.” He didn’t put the fiddle down, which is commendable — for those around him as well. “If you’ve ever listened to someone learn to play the fiddle, that’s rough,” Loretta says. “It took patience.” John and Bobby fought over guitar for a while before agreeing to swap guitar and fiddle back and forth. “Tom always wanted to play mandolin, I guess,” Bobby says. “And Doug always wanted to play bass.” Based on a 100-acre farm in Middlesex and initially called The Henrie David Thoreau Memorial String Band, the boys first hit the scene in 1974. “The first thing was a square dance at a commune near Prattsburgh,” says Bobby. “It was at the end of the commune era. I think we knew five tunes; ‘Sally Ann,’ ‘Whiskey Before Breakfast,’ and a handful of fiddle tunes. That was our first $25 gig.” “There were a few of those,” Loretta says. “There are still a few now.” Loretta didn’t sing with the band. “I danced, took tickets, baked pies,” she says. In 1976 The Henrie Brothers traveled south
to play a well-known folk festival in Galax, Virginia. The brothers rocked the house in front of thousands of folk fans, mixing one white lie into the bluegrass. “We said we were from West Virginia,” Bobby says. “We knew that if you say you’re
from New York, that’s one strike against you already. So we lied and won first place. It was amazing. The next year we did say we were from New York and came in like 10th.” Back in New York, The Henrie Brothers were part of a burgeoning scene that included The Swamp Roots String Band, The Highwoods, The Correctone String Band, and others, especially in the swelling scene in and around Ithaca. Bill says this began an intense period — running roughly 1975 to 1979 — of playing for the band. He and his brothers had found their place in the broad musical landscape. “I was discovering a group of people who were misfits like myself,” he says. “You can play this music with people you’ve never met and have this kind of rhythmic communion. I always considered myself a misfit… I never got invited to the senior prom…” Loretta pipes in: “You were never a senior.” “Yeah, I dropped out of school,” Bill says. What set The Henrie Brothers apart was the members’ intensity and acceleration. “We played really, really, really fast,” says Bill. “And I think Bobby’s guitar playing was technically way beyond the average guitar player in an old-time band. He wasn’t just a strummer.” “We always had this raucous mandolin from Tom, which gave us this different rockin’ edge,” Bobby says. “And it wasn’t always just old time. We threw in bluegrass and Cajun, some Irish.” The Henries colored outside the lines. “In old-time music — or really any folk music — there’s this purist camp that sort of makes sure certain influences don’t get in,” says Bill. “We had nothing to do with that camp at all.” Yet despite the band’s legendary status in folk circles, it has never recorded an album. “I know, I know,” says Bill. “If we’re such a great band, why don’t we have a record? We were getting better fast. That was one problem. So within a month, any recording we did, we’d hate. I have a really weird attitude toward recording. I don’t like the idea that someone can put on a recording of me and listen to it.” There are festival recordings and cassette tapes floating around, but according to Bobby, The Henrie Brothers is a live affair, too wild and free to be harnessed and laid to tape “All we have is the music right at the moment,” he says. By the end of the 1980’s, gigs began to fizzle, some brothers moved away, some splintered off into other projects. They still get together a couple of times a year for family functions, punctuated by the odd gig here and there, or festivals like Wheatland and GrassRoots. But the band endures. “We can never break up,” Bobby says. “It’s the gestalt of working with brothers.”

ROCK | Lou Gramm Band
GARAGE ROCK | The Fleshtones
At the recent Black Sheep reunion, legendary rock vocalist Lou Gramm proved he can still peg those high notes. It was those soaring sounds and the man that belted them that catapulted Foreigner to stardom in the 1970’s and 80’s. During Gramm’s tenure at the mic, Foreigner released seven albums and a pile of Top 40 hits. His current project, The Lou Gramm Band, also features Black Sheep band mate Donny Mancuso, and is still hard rocking, though this time around the music has a Christian message. Joining TLGB in celebrating 30 years of Dave Kane on the radio will be The Tommy Brunett Band and The Coupe de Villes.
You can go on about the songs in a band’s live set, but unless they’re strung together somehow, they’re nothing more than random spats. You need a segue. And New York City’s garage fathers, The Fleshtones, are the high priests of the salacious segue. I first caught The Fleshtones more than 20 years ago, and I have seen the band at least a dozen times since. The group’s music pulses and pounds and never lets up. As singer Pete Zaremba strangles the last notes of one song out of his harp, guitarist Keith Streng is already kicking off the next. The drums are a non-stop crash and boom frenzy. This is one of the best live bands you will ever see. Dang!, Tombstone Hands, and Krypton 88 will provide additional diesel, twang, and thunder to this, the second day of Bop Fest 5. The music fest also features Cuppa Tae, The Djangoners, and other acts on Saturday, July 16.

FESTIVAL | Boulder Fest 2011
Hip South Wedge coffeehouse Boulder offers its annual arts and music festival this weekend. The music line-up this year is sensational. Friday-night headliner Roots Collider is a local “livetronica” quartet. Saturday high-energy, fusion-jazz juggernauts Soulive (pictured) will close the bill. And Sunday Gonculator, which gathers inspiration from bands like Ween and The Flaming Lips, will bring its quirky brand of live raucousness to Boulder, before last year’s big draw, Buddhahood, closes the weekend with its unequalled “world-ternative” dance party that is sure to rock your body and feed your soul. For more details visit festival.bouldercoffeeco.com.

Norman Rockwell’s photo reference and his finished “After the Prom” painting, part of the George Eastman House “Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera” exhibit. PHOTO COURTESY GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE
Composing reflections “Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera” Through September 18 George Eastman House, 900 East Ave. Tue-Sat 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Thu until 8 p.m., Sun 1-5 p.m. | $3-$15 | 271-3361, eastmanhouse.org [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Though I have always admired Norman Rockwell’s skill as an artist, I must confess to an utter lack of interest in his art’s subject matter, which upon an early encounter, I dismissed as two-dimensional, idyllic, rosycheeked lies about American life. I gained a newfound respect for the work at the current exhibition at the George Eastman House, anomalous in that it presents a show not about a photographer, but about the beloved painter and illustrator of countless covers of the Saturday Evening Post. But here is the connection: the man’s life and work are effectively presented from the perspective of his use of photography as a tool in creating his iconic images. The show offers a deep and thorough peek into various aspects of Rockwell’s life, morals, and methods. It includes a short film that presents a sweeping scope of his life and career, 14 oil paintings and dozens of tear sheets from the Saturday Evening Post (some still bearing the yellowed stickers with subscribers’ names and addresses), each paired with reference images Rockwell created, often with the help of photographer friends Gene Pelham, Bill Scovill, and Louie Lamone. 18 City july 13-19, 2011
A gifted artist from a young age, Rockwell protested the use of photo references, initially condemning it as the crutch of lazy draftsmen. However, one of the exhibit info plaques states that by 1935, he had adopted photography as a solution to the problem of working with tired models: “As the hours passed,” Rockwell recounted, “the expression would sag or freeze into a grizzly parody of glee.” Though the artist’s ideological discomfort about using reference photos remained (these reference images were never meant to be viewed by the public), he incorporated the use in such a way as to maintain his creative integrity. As presented in various illustrationphoto parings in this show, he worked tirelessly to arrive at the perfect picture, skillfully staging the models and props or posing himself for reference images, and at times mixing limbs and gestures and expressions from various different snapshots of models. The exhibit’s pairings reveal the methods and minutiae of Rockwell’s process from photo, to sketches, to finished work, highlighting decisions he made to perfect the story of the image. For example, in “Boy with Melting Ice Cream Cones,” a 1940 cover of the Post, the black-and-white image of a young man holding empty cones becomes a slightly younger man holding up drippy treats amid colorful umbrellas, the angle of his face altered to better convey an irritated search for the one who would share the snack. Viewers can spend hours engrossed in
the details, each set of images paired with informative mini essays on the meaning
behind decades of Post covers, the social climate and the artist’s concerns, and how he chose to depict the issues and direct the thoughts and emotions of the nation. Most of the included images are witty, light-hearted, and though they lean slightly into caricature, all convey a devotion to lifelike detail not only in surfaces, but in human nature. In “The Gossips,” a grid of people listen to a message, then convey it to the next person, with varying expressions of shock, awe, and fury, and at the end, the message comes back to bite the originator. Nearby, a grid of reference photos for those highly animated faces perfectly conveys how crucial a quickly snapped photo could be. Many works convey a sense of manageable troubles (in “The Discovery,” an aghast little boy stands holding a Santa costume he’s just pulled from a dresser drawer). Rockwell’s celebration of innocence and the commonplace comforted readers, often overpowering serious headlines (the goofy diner scene in “After the Prom” is paired with “How will America Behave if H-Bombs Fall?”) or topical essays: “Should Husbands Be Baby Sitters? A Debate.” Part of Rockwell’s bread and butter came from creating ads, and he exhibited a serious talent in convincing Americans to buy now, whether it was new Plymouth sedans or war bonds, by depicting themes and rites of passage to which Americans could relate. “In a changing world, he was a reassuring guide,” explains the narrator of the film used in the exhibit. One of my favorite works, “Breaking Home Ties,” depicts a weathered old man seated on a matching truck next to his smartly dressed, optimistic looking son, about to depart for college. Rockwell created the image to convey a parent’s feeling when a child grows up and leaves home, and in the image, each man gazes into his own private world, eyes not meeting. The models were photographed separately, perhaps enhancing their vast divide. In the 1960’s, Rockwell focused his power of pathos on a passionate interest in Civil Rights issues in his work for Look magazine. Among darker, bloodier imagery uncommon to Rockwell’s portfolio, an element of innocence still shines through. “New Kids in the Neighborhood” shows a meeting of two groups of children, black and white kids staring at one another in front of a moving van, the black kids leaning slightly back in apprehension, the whites slightly forward in curiosity, potential playtime halted by trepidation learned from adults.

Mind Body Spirit KIDS | FAMILY FRIDAYS
It’s a good sign when a museum is concerned not only with educating us about the past, but with directing the community toward a better future. Each Friday in July and August, from noon to 4 p.m., the Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave.) will host a different “Family Friday” program, all focused on conserving natural resources through exploring different energy choices. The programming ties in well with “ENERGIZE It,” the museum’s current, highly interactive exhibit on energy. The program line-up covers topics ranging from the pros and cons of nuclear energy, coal, oil, and natural gas, conservation, and ways to go “green.” On July 15, visitors can explore the environmental and physical benefits of the clean and healthy transportation option of biking in “Pedal Power,” and receive info on local cycling clubs, bike trails, mechanics, and maintenance. Following programs will focus on hydro power, fossil fuels and extraction disasters, solar power, wind power, and other topics. For more information on the programming, call 271-1880 or visit rmsc.org. “Family Fridays” are free with regular museum admission, unless otherwise specified. Regular admission is $12 for adults, $11 for seniors and college students, $10 for ages 3-18, free for children under 3 and RMSC members. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY 16: “Of Flight and Shadow,” an exhibition of Photographs by Ken Riemer Featuring FuturePointe Dance.

SPECIAL EVENT | BIG RIB BBQ & BLUES FEST
Highland Park is usually quiet, peaceful, and filled with the scents of its famous flowers. This weekend, however, those flowers will be overshadowed by the smell of mouth-watering barbecue and the silence replaced by blasting horns and guitars. The Big Rib BBQ and Blues Fest is back again from Thursday, July 14, through Sunday, July 17. Blues and barbecue just go together. The spicy flavors complement savory vocals and guitar licks, and this festival has got you covered no matter what you like. There will be two different stages in Highland Park’s festival site with 30 bands playing four days of funk, blues, and rock and roll. Five competing rib vendors from Florida, Texas, Ontario, and Tennessee have brought their different styles and flavors to the same place, so you’re sure to find something delicious. The festival site is on the corner of Highland and South avenues, and opens at 11:30 a.m. The fest serves both lunch and dinner each day. Lunch admission is free, and after 4 p.m. admission is $5 Thursday and Sunday, $10 Friday and Saturday. Visit rochesterevents.com/festivals for more information. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL lot.

THEATER | “MOMOLOGUES” & “SPEED THE PLOW”
This is a great week for theater, especially if you’re looking for something you have never seen before. Two of Rochester’s local theaters are performing quirky, original shows. Blackfriars Theatre is running the comedy “The Momologues” through Sunday, July 17. “This play follows four women from when they first learn that they’re pregnant, to getting their kids on the bus and everything afterward,” director John Haldoupis told City Newspaper. The show will take place at Blackfriars Theatre at 795 East Main Street. Tickets cost $20; visit bftix.org for performance times and ticket information. Also this weekend The Space, a new performing venue in the Hungerford Building, will be presenting “Speed the Plow” (pictured). This dark comedy by David Mamet centers around the greed, deceit, and power of Hollywood. The show — a presentation by Theatre Theatre Co. and the RIT Players — will run Thursday, July 14, through Sunday, July 17, with shows at 7:30 p.m. The Space Theatre is located at 1115 E.

Don’t stop the presses just yet [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Page One: Inside the New York Times” (R), directed by Andrew Rossi Coming soon
Our notions of the newspaper business depend to some extent on all those newspaper pictures, a group that originates sometime back in the 1930’s, probably with the classic “Front Page,” which inspired several remakes and imitations. Other newspaper films of that time featured courageous, wisecracking reporters who investigated crimes, solved murders, uncovered corruption, and busted the mob. The movie
that made journalism really serious and even respectable, “All the President’s Men,” continued the tradition of the reporter as intrepid searcher after truth, with the added value of a solid basis in a remarkable true story, the Watergate burglary and its extraordinary effects on the nation. The title of “Page One,” a documentary about the New York Times, no doubt consciously echoes “The Front Page,” but deals with its particular newspaper in a very different way from those films of the past. The picture begins with a familiar sequence of mechanical process, which American film always handles well, in this case the production of the paper itself. It shows an automated factory where machines begin the actual physical manufacture of the newspaper, following it all the way through an assembly line to the trucks that deliver the finished product. After that engaging sequence the director employs a montage of headlines, magazine covers, and television reports, describing the demise of dozens of papers, many of them major publications

serving important areas of the country. It then begins the treatment of its real subject, the New York Times of the present day, one of the world’s great newspapers, itself facing serious financial problems, for the usual reasons — lost advertising, diminished readership, competition from cable TV, the burgeoning traffic in electronic communications. The filmmakers apparently enjoyed unparalleled access to the daily activities of producing the news, showing moments from editorial board meetings, announcements of layoffs, promotions and dismissals, and some of the work of a number of individual reporters and editors. As the movie proceeds, it recounts some of the history of the Times through archival footage, video clips, and what seems like hundreds of interviews. Just about all the interviewees, analysts, and commentators, many of them the same old talking heads that turn up every night on some news show or other, point out that the paper historically sets the agenda for all the other news media and even continues to do so in the present day. The picture also shows a number of journalism conferences, panels on the future of newspapers, and endless discussions, pro and con, on the current usefulness of the New York Times. Although a few moments in the film deal with the newspaper’s cheerleading for the preemptive invasion of Iraq, their ace reporter Judith Miller’s collaboration with Dick

“Horrible Bosses” (R), directed by Seth Gordon Now playing
Cheney on the bogus claims of “weapons of mass destruction,” and the Jason Blair affair, it ignores the rest of its various craven behaviors under the pressure of several administrations. Despite all the tedious interviews, all the people attacking or defending newspapers, all the talking heads attempting to define contemporary journalism and its significance in a world of rapidly evolving sources of information, “Page One” never really reaches any conclusions or solutions. Content merely to present the situation and the problems, the filmmakers remain objective and disengaged, very much in the tradition of the Times itself, at least as its advocates suggest. Among the scores of people who talk to the camera, from top executives to several levels of editors to beat reporters to bloggers, one particular figure stands out, the paper’s media reporter, the colorful David Carr, who deserves a movie of his own. A relentless questioner with a most profane speaking style, Carr occupies more of the film than any other character, constantly talking, cursing at everyone, sprinkling an address to aspiring journalists with his favorite obscenities, but also managing to break some big stories. A former drug addict, he seems the most unlikely employee of a publication that used to hire only Harvard graduates who started their careers as copyboys; Carr’s presence itself suggests another kind of revolution in the paper and raises the question of how in the world he ever landed a job on the most prestigious newspaper in the country.
Hollywood, as you know, revels in topical films, offering its two cents’ worth of insight (or, more accurately, $10 plus snacks) on the issues occupying our collective mind. Lately there has been a parade of movies about the depressed economy, specifically the tenuous, sucky state of employment. Off the top of my head: “Up in the Air,” “The Company Men,” “Everything Must Go”; all big-hearted and thoughtful films about the lot of the American worker, but none trading in the fact that a person would feel so trapped in his professional situation that killing an awful boss is a viable career option. And, unless I missed something on that candy dash during the Clooney flick, none featuring a “murder consultant” who goes by the name Motherfucker Jones. On the heels of “Hangover II” and “Bad Teacher,” our profane summer continues with the comparatively superior “Horrible Bosses,” a cookie-cutter comedy made wickedly entertaining thanks to some rowdy slapstick, knowing pop-

culture references, and the inspired casting of actors at the tops of their games. Well, Jason Bateman as the uptight voice of reason is not exactly virgin territory, but right now no one does it better. Bateman stars as Nick, a middle-management type working hard for a promotion. The problem, we quickly learn, is that the man in control of Nick’s destiny is Harken (Kevin Spacey, in his comfort zone), a suit-wearing sadist who derives obvious pleasure from manipulating Nick into guzzling a glass of scotch at 8 a.m. Nick routinely complains about Harken over beers with his buddies, both of whom can easily compete with him in the nightmare-boss department. Kurt (SNL’s ever-bland Jason Sudeikis) adored the kindly head of his company (cameoing charmer Donald Sutherland), but now that his coked-out son Bobby (a go-for-broke Colin Farrell, complete with potbelly and combover) is in charge, it’s time for some ethically questionable costcutting, like firing all the fat people. Dale (squawky Charlie Day, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) also has issues with his supervisor, but Nick and Kurt don’t initially see the downside to constant sexual harassment at the busy hands of the gorgeous, man-famished Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston, selling dialogue that makes porn sound subtle). Oh, you know how it goes; one minute you’re at a bar bitching about your job, the next you’re trolling the bad side of town for a hitman to kill your boss. Enter the aforementioned Mr. Jones (Jamie Foxx, clearly having a good time), whose intimidating appearance and recent jail time are all it takes to convince our lilywhite friends that he’s murdered before. Instead, Jones encourages Nick, Kurt, and Dale to off each others’ bosses (like, as Dale observes, “that famous Alfred Hitchcock-Danny DeVito movie”),
leading to a parade of rib-tickling scenes in which the inept trio attempt to do just that. Best is the set piece involving Nick, Dale, and Bobby’s big stash of blow, while Dale spazzing out to The Ting Tings during surveillance provides a random, funny break in the action. Things do go off the rails a bit once the bullets start flying during the manic third act, when one of the “Horrible Bosses” turns out to be an honest-to-goodness psychopath. Truthfully, director Seth Gordon (“Four Christmases”) and his three screenwriters don’t offer us much in the way of character development or motive, expecting us to take many things on faith. (This shorthand is possible, seemingly, because the three mains are total cliché: responsible adult, horndog, weirdo.) And don’t get me started on how badly served the females are here. Surely at least one of the writers must have encountered a non-inflatable woman at some point in his life, yet they’re all portrayed as either predatory, adulterous, or merely simpering. Fortunately, the cast covers for a multitude of lazy sins. You hipster kids may not know that by the turn of the century Bateman was kind of a has-been, making his successful second act so satisfying to behold. (His comedic timing is impeccable, but 2009’s “State of Play” hinted at a dramatic range I’d love to see better explored.) Popping up in bit parts are Welsh heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd as a man who specializes in the apparently confusing “wetwork,” as well as Wendell Pierce from “The Wire,” once again getting his Bunk on. The surprise for me here was Day; his spazzy behavior here doesn’t stray too far from his obnoxious character on the ugly sitcom “Sunny,” but watching him try to become an amoral killer is a surprisingly fun time.

9:30 p.m.
Jacques Tourneur’s breakthrough chiller Cat People pits American optimism against old-world spells and doubts. The absurd premise — Simone Simon turns into an murderous panther when aroused — receives unexpectedly sensitive treatment. In The Leopard Man, Tourneur and Val Lewton take a standard premise — a killer is loose! — and create a radical portrait of a small New Mexico community.

Urban Oasis in the Heart of the City 8 Lafayette Park Tucked away off South Union Street near Monroe Avenue, Lafayette Park is a tightlywoven neighborhood of impressively maintained homes that might have been plucked from the prettiest sections of Park Avenue. A short jaunt from the bustling affairs of East and Monroe Avenues, this idyllic enclave is defined by its landscaped parkway and historic architecture. A brick Italianate style house whose façade is adorned by elegant stone window crowns, 8 Lafayette Park was built in 1860. Dressed in flowering lilies, hosta plants and a variety of other perennials, the front yard is surrounded by a decorative cast iron fence – a fitting prelude to the grand steps that guide visitors to the original double-door entry. Once in the home, one is greeted by a grand staircase and large rooms lit by floor-to-ceiling windows. The first floor features an enormous marble fireplace, refinished hardwood floors, stunning stained glass windows, a library, formal dining room, spacious parlor, full bath, pantry and kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a morning room that looks out on an exceptionally lovely backyard. Massive windows help to blur the line between the remarkable interior of the morning room and the pavers and plants waiting just beyond the glass. Drenched in sunlight and ensconced in rich brown Moroccan tile, the decadence of the room, with its exposed brick walls and cathedral ceilings, is only equaled by the
beauty of the patio and yard. The multi-level courtyard –brimming with botanical delights – and the brick wall surrounding the yard help to create a true urban oasis. In the corner of the spectacular morning room, a beautiful spiral staircase leads to the second floor, which houses five large bedrooms. An ample master bath and a room that has been converted into a walk-in closet, complete with built-ins, are just two highlights. On the third floor, the attic has been completely refinished, providing even more living space in this utterly unique 3,200 square foot home. While some sections of the home could benefit from aesthetic updates and attention to historic restoration, 8 Lafayette Park does feature updated electric, central air, two high efficiency furnaces and a workshop in the basement. Currently, 8 Lafayette Park is listed at $139,900. To learn more about the house, contact Jeremy Havens at 585-421-0785.

Feinstein Lisa is the Executive Director of Campaign Operations at SUNY Geneseo, a city resident and an avid fan of historic architecture and neighborhoods.
