Beauty’s eroding in Corbett’s Glen
As a child I played in Corbett’s Glen. As an adult I worked to help it become a public park. Now, 15 years later, I see heartbreakingly rapid soil erosion. Why? The park is a popular place for dogs and free swimming. People and unleashed dogs climb up and down the banks, to and from the water. No doubt some of the people coming to the glen are true nature lovers, yet bottles, food wrappers, and bags of dog excrement are left by careless, thoughtless park visitors. I still live on Glen Road. To keep the area around our homes attractive, nine mornings out of ten trash must be picked up on the street. With poorly maintained and badly faded parking signs and confusing, outdated, and poorly enforced parking regulations, illegal parking is rampant on our once quiet country road. This, too, is disheartening. It looks as though no one cares about Glen Road. My family, my neighbors, and I were all enthusiastic workers in the long effort to help Corbett’s Glen become a Town of Brighton nature park. I wish we had understood then the many ways in which the natural beauty of the glen would be impacted. ELLEN BEERS ADAMS
Ferguson’s just tip of the iceberg
In response to “The Ferguson Warning” (Urban Journal): The six-minute cellphone video of the August 19 police shooting in St. Louis, along with the running monologue by the videographer and the hundreds of subsequent viewer comments, should win a prize for Hip Pocket Photojournalism. The video, apparently intended to simply capture the 2 CITY

aimless wandering of Kajieme Powell, ultimately captures the before, during, and after of his deadly shooting by two white St. Louis cops. The 90 seconds of video preceding the shooting suggests that Powell has mental health or intoxication issues. He’s big; if he punched you, you’d go down. But he appears, in his state, virtually harmless. One viewer commented (I paraphrase), “How were the police supposed to know that?” Another viewer responded, “Maybe if they’d waited longer than 13 seconds before shooting him they might have figured it out.” The cops shoot him seven times. As he’s lying on the sidewalk one cop shoots him two more times. They then turn his lifeless body face down and cuff him. In her Urban Journal written after the similar, earlier shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, Mary Anna Towler wondered about progress made between blacks and whites in the 50 years since the Rochester riots. She might have asked about progress since the Emancipation. Or in the 400 years since we began herding blacks here from Africa like farm animals. Or in the 2000 years since the phenomenon of Christ. For many of those years, the Bible was the de facto operating manual for Christians. Whether or not one believed the Holy Bible, it was the guideline. American Indians were not mentioned in the Bible, nor blacks to any degree. That’s why when the Spaniards first landed here, they hit the ground raping and murdering. These darkerskinned folks weren’t in the Bible; therefore the Europeans had the right to define their position in life. We’ve faithfully passed the figurative torch, however subtly, for two millennia. The St. Louis cops may not have been well-enough trained in anger management, risk assessment, or mental health issues, but if Kajieme Powell were white, he’d surely be alive. The shooting is the tip of an iceberg, a three-second window into too many years of inert human social evolution. We put cops on the street, DA’s in office, and judges on the bench. Competent or not,
Southern or Northern, they’re our representatives. We’re supposed to be the highest form of life, yet it is we who have stalled evolution. “We,” being you, me, and those who represent us. RICH GARDNER

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Oh wait, that’s rain. It comes and goes. That is the nature of the editorial comment of this paper. Politics is a roughand-tumble business. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. People want results. Albany has been full of excuses for decades. I don’t like Cuomo’s methods and I despise him personally. What most people will care about is four on-time budgets, universal pre-K, the right to marry your partner of the same-sex and a slowly (MUCH too slowly) strengthening economy. That is why people will re-elect Cuomo. Of course he hasn’t laid out a vision for four more years. But neither has Astorino. All he’s done is yipped at Cuomo’s heels like the annoying little terrier he is. If the New York Republican Committee was serious about electing him, they would put more money in the race. They’re too busy struggling to retain their tentative toehold in the state Senate, courtesy of a corrupt backroom bargain by five socalled “Independent Democrats.” Go Cuomo! SEAN

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
‘Fix’ the schools? Maybe we’re not up to the job Every year on the first day of school, I like to walk over to the elementary school a block from our house and watch the children as they arrive. I used to get a little lift – a feeling of freshness and new beginnings as the school year started. All that potential, and all that hope – theirs and mine. My worry about the Rochester school district has put a damper on things, though. I want to feel hopeful, and I don’t. This has just gone on too long. And we need to do so much. More pre-school programs are essential, but they have to be of the highest quality. We need to fund them fully – and permanently – and the money can’t come from the City of Rochester or its school district. They don’t have it. And more important, it’s not a city problem. We need adequate funding for quality day care. We need more funding for programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership, which helps low-income, first-time mothers from pregnancy through the baby’s first year. And we need to put muscle behind the commitment to have children reading competently by third grade. Right now, that’s true of only 3 percent of Rochester thirdgraders. It is no surprise, then, that so few of them do well in upper grades. And yet we pass them through the system, whether they’re ready or not. We’re expecting magic to happen in those upper grades, when what we need is to identify every single thing that keeps children from doing well in first, second, and third grade – and then remove those obstacles. We need screening and help to address health and family problems that get in the way of children’s education. We need to compensate for the educational deficiency that some parents have. We need nothing less than high-quality teachers in elementary schools. And we need high expectations – of everybody, from everybody. That will be expensive. And it will be hard. We also need to recognize that there are likely many paths to success. We need to embrace those paths – to try things like teacher-operated schools, magnet schools, and yes, charter schools, everything – and measure the outcome. And we need to do two more things. First: We need to recognize that it really will take the entire community – suburban taxpayers, suburban school districts as well as city residents and their government and school district – to solve this problem. It will take suburban political and community leaders gutsy enough to lead on this issue – gutsy enough, for instance,
I want to feel hopeful, and I don’t. This has just gone on too long. And we need to do so much.” to explain the threads that run between our community-imposed concentration of poverty, unemployment, poor education, and the culture of violence that is festering in some inner city areas. And gusty enough to insist that we all bear a responsibility for the creation of that concentrated poverty and for dealing with its consequences. Second: Everybody in the Rochester school district community needs to stop pointing fingers. Teachers, administrators, parents, and activists: everybody should declare a ceasefire, stop blaming everybody else, and pledge to first clean up their own act. I urged that several months ago, and the only positive response I got was from Rochester Superintendent Bolgen Vargas. From everybody else, there has been more finger pointing. And of course, from the larger community, from outside the city, there has been silence or, worse, more piling on: “the parents are bad,” “the teachers are bad,” “the school board members are idiots.” Thus my lack of hope in this schoolopening week. Hundreds of little children are starting kindergarten and first grade in Rochester. Far too few of them will end up with a good education and prospects for a good job and a strong future. It is our responsibility to deal with this. But given our mindset, collective and individual, I worry that the job is just bigger than the Greater Rochester community is willing to tackle. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Teachout reaches out
Zephyr Teachout made a campaign stop at Village Gate plaza in Rochester. The Fordham University Law professor is challenging Governor Andrew Cuomo in a Democratic primary this month. Cuomo supports too many tax breaks for banks, corporations, and the wealthy at the expense of education, infrastructure, and investment in small business and agriculture, Teachout said.
Climate changed
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sent a draft report to the world’s governments for review. According to major media outlets, the report warns that the global trend of rising average temperatures may be irreversible. The document warns that other climate impacts may also be nearing a point of no return.
Bridge project progresses
Approximately 50 people attended a public hearing on a draft federal environmental statement for the construction of a new railroad bridge across part of the gorge at Letchworth State Park. The existing Norfolk Southern Railway Company bridge was built in 1875 and can’t meet weight and speed stan-
dards for modern freight trains, the statement says.

Perch taken from the Great Lakes have been found to have plastic fragments in their gastrointestinal systems. FILE PHOTO
ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Plastics found in Great Lakes fish When researchers discovered that the Great Lakes are polluted with tiny plastic fragments, likely from consumer personal care products, they also suspected that birds and fish are ingesting the fragments. But they didn’t have hard evidence. Until now. Sam Mason, the SUNY Fredonia chemistry professor who has led the study of plastics pollution in the Great Lakes, is heading up ongoing research on the theory. And she’s found that fish and birds taken from a few of the lakes have plastic fragments in their gastrointestinal systems.
“Every day we’re getting more data,” she says. Most of the fish and birds that she’s studied have come from Lake Erie. Mason and her students began collecting fish in January by going to local ice fisherman; Mason wound up with a lot of perch, since that’s what they were catching. Through the spring, Mason and her student assistants examined 75 perch and 17 cormorants, a type of water bird. In both cases, a high percentage of the subjects had plastics in their gastrointestinal tracts, Mason says. Mason and her team are also looking at other species, including
shiners and lake trout, some of which have come from other Great Lakes. They plan to keep collecting specimens through the fall, and say that they hope to publish their results sometime between January and March. While the research may ultimately answer one set of questions, it could also lead to others. For example, researchers already know that some harmful chemicals stick to the surface of the plastic fragments, Mason says. While they suspect that fish and wildlife absorb those chemicals when they ingest the fragments, the issue needs study and confirmation, she says.

ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE
Coalition recruits climate marchers On September 21, hundreds of thousands of people will march through Manhattan to show leaders from around the world, particularly US politicians, that the American public supports and demands action on climate change. The People’s Climate March, which is being organized by 350.org, is timed to coincide with a UN climate summit in the city. World leaders will meet to begin laying the groundwork for climate treaty talks in Paris next year. Rochester-area climate activists are trying to get as many local people as possible to participate in the march and have formed the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition. The coalition is raising local awareness of the event, and will charter a bus to take marchers to Manhattan. “Climate change seems to be absent from our discourse on a whole lot of levels,” says coalition member Sue Hughes-Smith of Brighton. “We’re definitely hoping to bring that into people’s conversations.” Hughes-Smith says that she wants her children to have an “optimistic future.” Left unaddressed, human-driven shifts in climate will make food and water supplies more unpredictable, which will impact all regions of the world, she says.
Abigail McHugh-Grifa of Rochester says that she sees action on climate change as a matter of family and community values. Climate change will cause problems for both the current generation and future generations, she says. The US is a strong voice in the world — it’s also the leading economy Sue Hughes-Smith.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Discrepancies in teacher evals The New York State Department of Education has released the final versions of its professional evaluations for teachers and principals throughout the state for the 2012-2013 school year. And for the first time, parents can contact their school district and find out how their child’s teacher performed. Parents and school officials in some Monroe County suburbs are going to be pleased with the reports. But it’s a different story in the City of Rochester. Children in Rochester city schools may not be receiving the same quality of instruction, according to the evaluations. About 58 percent of the district’s 2,368 educators — teachers and principals — received evaluations of “effective,” but about 40 percent received evaluations of “developing” or “ineffective.” The evaluations are almost the reverse of their colleagues in suburban schools. A similar pattern shows up in schools in the Syracuse area. According to state law, every teacher and principal in the state’s public school system must receive an evaluation. And those who receive ratings of developing and ineffective over a two-year period can be terminated when the evaluation system is fully implemented.

pinning down Local men share their HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
major source of confusion for many men and doctors locally and nationally. “My doctor said my PSA test was up just a little bit,” Johnson says. “It didn’t seem to be a big concern.” But a biopsy later revealed that even though Johnson’s PSA level wasn’t alarmingly high, that he was in serious trouble. In 2010, he had the gland surgically removed
unobtrusive presence, the prostate plays a vital role in reproduction. Its job is to produce the fluid that nourishes sperm cells. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men after lung cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2014, and that nearly 30,000 men will die from the disease.
“The problem is we don’t have a test today that says ‘You have a really good cancer, and you have a really bad, aggressive cancer.” Dr. Edward Messing
It would be a mistake to stop giving men of a certain age the PSA test, which helps detect prostate cancer, says Dr. Edward Messing, chair of the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Department of Urology. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
t 65, Jim Johnson says he feels like a young boy again. He says that he has none of the sexual tension or drive that begins around puberty and accompanies men through most of their adult lives. “I don’t have any of the desire for sex,” he says. “Believe it or not, it’s quite liberating. I feel a sense of freedom.” Johnson is in the advanced stages of prostate cancer and is receiving hormone therapy to reduce his production of testosterone, which some researchers say promotes the growth of tumors. (Johnson, who lives in Rochester, asked that his real name not be used because his business associates do not know about his health.) 6 CITY
SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014
At the time of his diagnosis, Johnson was 60 years old and had a thriving consulting business, he says. His children were grown, and after more than 30 years of marriage, he says that he was looking forward to growing old with his wife. But a routine physical exam revealed some movement in Johnson’s PSA level. The prostate specific antigen blood test is given to men to screen for prostate cancer, usually beginning around age 50. High PSA readings are often associated with some degree of prostate cancer. Although early detection of prostate cancer increases the odds of survival, routine PSA screening has come under fire over the last few years. The controversy has become a
— a standard procedure for a man in his condition. But by then the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, he says. “The prognosis was that it was incurable and I would have about eight years,” Johnson says. Since then, he’s had radiation therapy, as well as the hormone therapy. Johnson says that he remembers being in a daze after his doctor gave him the news. And he says that it’s hard for him not to think about whether having the PSA a few months earlier might have improved his outcome. “I was sitting there thinking, ‘What does this mean?’” he says. Despite everything he’s been through, including his current struggles with severe depression — a side effect of the hormones — Johnson says he’s grateful that he at least had the PSA test when he did because the aggressive treatment has extended his life. “But I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t had the test,” he says. “I would definitely recommend that it be given.”
The prostate is an odd little gland that
resembles a walnut; it’s located just below the bladder. Considering its small size and
Age is a major factor. The occurrence of prostate cancer increases dramatically in men over age 50, particularly if the man’s father or grandfather had the disease. And for some unknown reason, it occurs more frequently in black men. Men who have been exposed to Agent Orange, use some athletic enhancement drugs, and are going through transgender treatment may also be at heightened risk. The PSA test was developed at Buffalo’s Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and was a major discovery in cancer research. Up until about the mid 1970’s, prostate cancer was frequently detected in its advanced stages and a diagnosis meant about a 4 percent survival rate. The test was initially used in forensic cases such as rape to determine the presence of semen. It wasn’t until the mid 90’s that the test was used to screen for prostate cancer. And its role in early detection has been heralded as one of the great successes in the battle against cancer. But as critically important as the PSA test has become, several studies challenge its widespread use and reliability. Much of the concern stems from recent findings from the
prostate cancer battles and their confusion over recent research PHOTOS | BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
European Randomized Study for Screening Prostate Cancer, which monitored more than 160,000 men between the ages of 55 and 69. The extensive nine-year study shows that PSA screening resulted in at least a 20 percent drop in mortality rates from prostate cancer. But the researchers also said that the widespread general screening has increased
and radiation can be debilitating and greatly impact the quality of that life. “There are those people who are against getting the PSA because the cancer is so slow-growing, and I think that is a mistake,” Messing says. “People are suffering from some of the side effects, but there are also some men suffering from some very aggressive cancers with a capital C.”
“It’s a natural reaction for men to think that their manhood is Fisher, at stake.” Patrick program director for the Rochester chapter of Us Too
the risk of over diagnosis, and that some men may be treated for cancers and other prostate problems that may not be aggressive or life-threatening, says Dr. Edward Messing, chair of the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Urology Department. “The biggest problem is that many cancers are not likely to affect your life,” he says. “But so many men with small focuses of cancer, with encouragement from their doctors, decided to pursue treatment. Some of those treatments will turn the prostate into cardboard.” Almost all of the treatments and procedures, even the biopsy used to confirm the presence of cancer, pose physical and mental health risks, Messing says. That’s partly because of the location and makeup of the prostate. It’s close to the rectum wall and the bladder, and the urethra that allows urine to flow out of the body runs right through the middle of the gland. Treatments such as surgery to remove the prostate and radiation therapy to kill cancer cells often leave men incontinent. And the prostate gland harbors the nerves that provide sexual function. The treatments often damage those nerves, sometimes irreparably, though new surgical techniques can sometimes spare the nerves. While the treatments can extend the patient’s life, the combination of surgery
At the crux of the debate are the limitations of what researchers currently know about prostate cancer. “We don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water [by not screening],” Messing says. “But the problem is we don’t have a test today that says ‘You have a really good cancer, and you have a really bad, aggressive cancer.’” Messing says that his research shows that if the PSA had been eliminated during the early 2000’s through 2009, for instance, the number of men with advanced prostate cancer would’ve tripled. He also doesn’t agree with research suggesting that elderly men shouldn’t be given a PSA or treated for prostate cancer because they’re likely to die from some other health problem. It all depends on their health, Messing says. “You could be robbing them of years of life,” he says. While there are extremely sophisticated diagnostic tools that are just starting to become available, as well as excellent treatments and promising new treatments in development, deciding what might work for each man is a complicated process. A lot depends on the stage that the cancer appears to be in, the age of the

man, and a whole host of other factors. Some men who don’t appear to have an aggressive cancer are choosing what is called “watchful surveillance.” Others are taking heavy artillery approaches — robotic surgery, beam radiation, brachytherapy — even though there is no perfect way to know if they’re warranted, or if they will even work. Between 20 percent to 30 percent of men who have surgery to remove their prostate will have a cancer reoccurrence after five years, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Hermann Vogelstein says that for him, it’s not
a matter of whether or not to take the PSA. He had a PSA test in August 2013 and waited until that October to have a biopsy, which
came back positive. The 63-year-old Brighton man says that he questioned whether or not he should have a biopsy, but that his father died of prostate-related bone cancer, which places him in a higher risk group. The real issue is what men should do with the information from the biopsy, he says. “What’s important is what you do next,” Vogelstein says. “Some people think, ‘I’ve got cancer. I’ve got to get rid of it,’” he says. Vogelstein has had several tests and he’s meticulously researched his options, including some of the newest procedures. And he says that he’s fully weighing the risks of each option. continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Seeking a cleaner Rochester It costs the United States more than $11.5 billion annually to clean up litter, says Keep Liberty Beautiful, an affiliate of the nonprofit Keep America Beautiful. Litter also jeopardizes investment, harms the environment, drives down property values, and poses a threat to public safety. Rochester is no better or worse than other cities when it comes to litter, officials say. And some neighborhoods and business districts have come up with innovative ways to fight litter. But for the most part, officials say, the public generally has a poor understanding of who is responsible for picking up litter and where. Many people want to point fingers, they say, without taking any personal responsibility for the problem. “People grew up not understanding that everybody has to just bend over and pick up,” says Moira Lemperle, president of the Monroe Avenue Merchants Association. If litter is on your property, it’s your responsibility to pick it up, officials say, even if you didn’t put it there. Of you can call your Neighborhood Service Center for help, says Nancy Johns-Price, administrator of the Southeast NSC. Johns-Price says that she can get the mess cleaned up and, if the litter is consistently coming from the same place, she’ll approach that place personally. The Rochester Police Department does issue tickets for littering, a spokesperson says, but doesn’t track the number of tickets it issues. Businesses are required by city code to keep their properties clean, as well as all areas within 100 feet of their property line, Johns-Price says. Those it’s clear that not all businesses follow the rules. “Even if it’s just their sidewalk and their own curbs, they just don’t do it,” says Lemperle about the businesses on Monroe. “Very few do it. They can’t be bothered. Then they wonder why some people in the community have a poor image of the area.” Lemperle says that she and her neighbors do cleanups a couple of times a year, but that the Monroe merchants don’t participate. “It’s not question of whether it’s your job or not, but it’s more a question of the perception you want [people] to have of your business,” she says.
The City of Rochester does regular street
cleaning and provides litter baskets in areas with high pedestrian traffic. The baskets are emptied at least once a week, according to the city’s website. The city also does a once a year citywide cleanup called Clean Sweep — though some neighborhood representatives say that the sweep is more of a feel-good event than anything else. “If it were truly to keep the neighborhoods clean, it would be every week, right?” says 8 CITY

Allen Krisiloff, secretary for the Monroe Village Task Force. The city’s Department of Environment Services cleans up the parks, and Regional Transit Services takes care of the bus shelters. Krisiloff says that the government should take a bigger role in keeping the city clean, but that he understands that city budgets all over the country are squeezed. “We live in an era where a lot of people think their taxes are too high, and we live in an era of greed,” he says. “And these things impact the city’s ability to provide services.” Downtown, the section of Main Street from Plymouth Avenue to Chestnut Street has been designated an enhancement district, which means it gets extra attention in terms of litter pickup and other services. Those extra services would be expanded if the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation is successful in getting its Business Improvement District passed. The district would substantially expand downtown’s boundaries, and the properties inside the BID would, for a fee, receive services beyond those provided by the City of Rochester. Examples include maintenance projects, holiday decorations, safety patrols, marketing, sidewalk cleaning, and litter and weed removal. RDDC President Heidi Zimmer-Myer often touts the district’s scene-setting ability when she presents the BID concept. (ZimmerMyer has been making the rounds, talking up the BID proposal to residents, businesses, and public officials.) “I think cleanliness — and that includes litter and cigarette butts and stuff like that — it’s very important,” she says. “If an environment feels untended, people are less likely to feel comfortable in it. And, of course, if you’re making significant investments — which a lot of people are down here — you want the environment to be clean and polished.” How often litter would be picked up under the BID depends on the street, Zimmer-Myer says, and how bad the litter problem is.

streets with a lot of activity, she says, litter would be picked up multiple times each day. Less frequent passes would be made in areas with lighter activity, she says. Although the BID as currently proposed would cover about 25 percent of Monroe Village — from Averill Avenue to the Inner Loop — Lemperle says she isn’t so sure that it would make much of a difference in the appearance of the avenue. The portion of Monroe that would be included in the district is generally well-maintained, she says. The BID needs to go all the way up Monroe to have an impact, she says. BID aside, stricter enforcement of city code might force the merchants to work together to keep the area clean, Lemperle says. That’s what pushed the East End businesses to come together to hire someone to clean up after the big bar nights, she says. “Nobody has to worry about it,” says City Council member Elaine Spaull, who represents the East End entertainment district. “Basically, it takes all the burden off of those bar owners and landlords. By Saturday morning and Sunday morning you wouldn’t know that anybody had a party the night before.” But it all comes back to personal
responsibility, officials say. There are people in the city who make picking up trash a part of their routine, they say, but for the most part, everyone thinks it’s somebody else’s job. “To just blame it all on the bar traffic, or just to blame it on the residents or a particular merchant, I don’t think it solves the problem,” says Colleen McCarthy, of the Monroe Village Task Force. “I think people have to take shared responsibility and accept that it’s part of urban life and try to work on it.”
The cancer doesn’t appear to have metastasized, he says, which means it hasn’t spread from the prostate and may not be terribly aggressive. If there had been slightly less cancer in his biopsy, he says that he would have gone with watchful surveillance. And he says that he may still take one of the less heavy-handed approaches to treatment. “Am I going to go for something that has the best chance of a cure with the most difficult side effects, or should I go for the least invasive and the less impact on my lifestyle?” he says. “I’m still working on that.” Patrick Fisher is program director for the Rochester chapter of Us Too, a nonprofit that’s part of an international network of support groups for men with prostate cancer. Fisher, a prostate cancer survivor, says that he helped found the local chapter because he discovered that some men, like Vogelstein, have pretreatment questions and others have questions after treatment. There weren’t many places locally where men could talk freely about their concerns and share information, he says. “I thought this was exactly what this community of men needed going forward,” Fisher says. “We didn’t know what to expect because we didn’t advertise, but lo and behold, we had 30 people at our first meeting just through word of mouth.” In addition to monthly meetings, the organization raises funds through events such as “Cars for Cancer,” a car show and men’s health screening day on Saturday, September 6. (More information: baytowncarshow.com) Getting used to the C word is the first challenge for most people, Fisher says. “Relating to the word ‘cancer’ is difficult for most of us under any circumstance,” he says. “And when you’re the one who’s been diagnosed, we tend to think it’s the end of life.” There’s some evidence that men in the US have also historically been less proactive about their general health, Fisher says, and prostate health can be particularly challenging because of the horror stories. “It’s a natural reaction for men to think that their manhood is at stake,” Fisher says. “There’s the problem with urinary incontinence, but then there’s the sexual dysfunction. If the man is married or in a relationship, their first thought is ‘What’s going to happen to that relationship?’” Fisher says that he schedules experts to come to Us Too’s meetings to
present on a wide range of topics, such as understanding treatment options, overcoming obstacles and setbacks, and learning the latest research. But one of the most important goals for Us Too is making sure that wives, same-sex partners, and significant others feel welcome and participate, Fisher says. “Prostate cancer impacts almost every aspect of a man’s life, including those important relationships,” he says. “It can be a test for some.” Johnson says that even though the cancer hasn’t been easy for him and has eliminated his desire for sex, that his relationship with his wife has never felt stronger. “My wife has stood by me and I feel closer to her than I ever have,” he says. Prostate cancer has forced him to re-examine what masculinity means and what it means to be a husband and a father, he says. “I feel sorry for some men who have defined themselves by their sexuality and macho type of thinking because this is going to be really hard for them,” Johnson says. For some men, the difficulty that
Johnson refers to may be a result of the culture’s ideal of manliness. But there’s another problem: How do you make the best decision possible knowing that the research on treatment isn’t clear and precise? What might work for one man may not work for another. And how do doctors help patients weigh the risk of possible side effects in their decision-making? Being comfortable with that decision could make a huge difference in how a patient feels about the outcome. As one man put it, “I desperately want there to be a best option.” Dr. James Dolan at URMC says that he wants to know if men newly diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer could benefit from some type of interactive software program that aids in their decision-making. Dolan’s team has developed such a program. A study in conjunction with the Rochester chapter of Us Too should begin this fall, Dolan says. This type of consultation aid could take some of the angst out of decisionmaking, Dolan says, and help men better understand their choices. Relying solely on the advice of doctors and their explanation of the side effects of treatment has some drawbacks, he says. “Based on current evidence, there is no one best treatment for everyone,” Dolan says.

My experience at Havana Cabana — a restaurant serving a twist on Island Cuisine in a warm, inviting environment — has to be broken into two separate experiences to accurately describe how different they were. On the first visit, the whole night was colored by the unfortunate timing of the meal and some technical issues with the dishes that my dining partner and I were served. The meal started with the coconut shrimp appetizer ($13.95): four largish shrimp, deep-fried with coconut shavings in the batter. The shrimp were tender, juicy, and well-fried and decently presented, although for the price the quantity seemed a bit light. Accompanying the shrimp was an Island mango chutney that was sweet and tempered only by shards of fresh mint. It took two tries to get our “authentic Cuban” mojito ($8) correct — the first erring on the simple syrup and rum side at the expense
of the key elements: mint and lime. After commenting on the lack of balance, the bar remade the drink with a more appropriate level of mint and lime, resulting in a much more refreshing drink for the hot day that it was. It was at this point that we ended up waiting for around an hour for the Cabana Cuban Sandwich and the Jerky Chicken Island Toast to arrive to our table. The staff handled it as well as they could — the small kitchen was overwhelmed with an unannounced large party in the spacious upstairs dining area. In a nice touch, the staff did offer a complimentary duplicate of the shrimp appetizer to tide us over while the main dishes were getting ready. When the dishes finally arrived, the Cabana Cuban ($14.95) was visually impressive: a large sandwich cut in half with pile of sliced, fried plantains filling the rest of the plate. The wellseasoned pulled pork was the element that made the sandwich worth it while the cucumbers added some needed freshness. But a light pickle on the cukes or some more zing in the aioli would have made the dish really sing. The Jerky Chicken Island Toast ($13.95) — a pizza made from the same Cuban bread base but with less proofing — had a complete lack of balance. For the thickness of the crust, it was topped with way too much cheese which resulted in an undercooked, unappealing gummy layer of dough. The toppings weren’t
much better: dried out dry-rubbed chicken breast that didn’t exude any aspects of jerk flavor; crispy plantains that had no business on the pie; and a distribution that left slices blank. It seemed like the actual crust might have some merit if it were cooked correctly, but this wasn’t a dish that I would want to revisit. We finished with a one-dimensional bread pudding that brought only mild cinnamon and sweetness to the table. Topped with whipped cream and accompanied by a weak caramel sauce and a commercial-tasting chocolate syrup, there was little else worth noting. No contrast in texture or flavors on a dish that seemed like an afterthought. The first visit was not positive, but I hoped for the best when my partner and I walked through the doors for the second time. Thankfully, this time the service and timing of our meal was spot on and we were able to focus on the food instead of our rumbling stomachs. Upon getting seated in the main dining area, our waiter convinced us to get an order of the fish tacos ($3 each on Wednesdays) for an appetizer. I’m happy that he did; it was the best and most complete dish that we were served. The tender tilapia base was seasoned well with a dry rub and salt kick, and the Cole slaw topping added crunch, creaminess, and a welcomed touch of spice. Havana Cabana’s corn,
bean, and tomato mix was present here and made a good addition to the party. A lime slice was provided for each taco and when squeezed over it made for a really well balanced bite and a top notch taco. We moved on to the Cuban Harvest Paella ($28.95), an offering that could easily serve two people with its large portion of seafood, sausage, and chicken, all over a bed of saffron rice and a rich broth. Unlike the Spanish version that is served with a crispy layer of rice with all water boiled off, the Cuban style ends up with liquid remaining in the mix after cooking. The remaining broth had a mild peppery kick, but was overly heavy with butter giving a greasy feel to the dish as a whole. Some brightness would have livened up the melange of ingredients and tied everything together. Really, it was a lack of seasoning that was the issue on the Island Jerk Pork Loin entree ($21.95), with every element other than the sauce needing some character whether it be from spice, salt, or acid. A whole pork loin was slow cooked for 18 hours and then pulled, which left portions of dark meat that held up nicely. In a disappointing turn, though, the meat had a light generic Barbeque taste and none of the trademark spice, warmth, or smokiness that is expected when something is advertised as being “jerk” flavored. A powerfully sweet and tangy blackberry-tinged Barbeque sauce was served on the side and was OK in small tastes with the pork, but quite overpowering in any larger quantity. The flambéed flan left a strong positive final impression. In a pleasant service touch, a small shot of clear rum was poured over the slightly overcooked flan and was lit on fire at the table. Thankfully, the alcohol mostly cooked out leaving a pleasant warmness to go along with the darker, burnt sugar taste of caramel sauce. Even the little touches of toasted coconut in the sauce and the fresh fruit worked with the dessert as a whole. Following our last dining experience, I spoke to Havana Cabana’s head chef and owner, Trey Yager, about how the kitchen let flavors loose in dishes like the fish tacos and the flan and made the food shine. He explained that at the beginning, the menu was more traditionally oriented and over time had been altered to meet what the restaurant thought most people were looking for. In general this tended to cut some of the more potent flavors I like to see with this kind of food. I can’t strongly recommend the food overall, but Havana Cabana has a popular bar area, pleasant servers, and an environment worth checking out.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 THE CALIFORNIA BREW HAUS, 402 WEST RIDGE ROAD 7 P.M. | $25 | TICKETFLY.COM [ HIP-HOP ] Mobb Deep’s 1995 album “The Infamous," the duo’s second full-length, was launched into the world roughly a year behind Nas’ “Illmatic,” and Wu-Tang’s “Enter the WuTang (36 Chambers)," around the time that East Coast hiphop was well on its way to a grittier, darker tone. But Mobb Deep took it a step further. The album firmly established Mobb Deep, and the duo cemented its place with a string of successful albums through the 90’s and early 2000’s. In April, Mobb Deep released its 8th studio album, and first in eight years, “The Infamous Mobb Deep,” showing that Prodigy and Havoc can still reach the same level of quality as they always have. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Bear Hands TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 6:30 P.M. | $9.41-$15 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM BEARHANDSBAND.COM [ ROCK ] When Bear Hands released its debut full-
length, ‘Burning Bush Supper Club,” in 2010, with a lot of indie-world buzz, the band received comparisons to MGMT — but come on, that’s too easy. Anyone who looked past the Wesleyan connection, would see Bear Hands as much more. The New York City-based band infuses a lot of humor and quirkiness into its music. Bear Hands is just unusual, in a good way. The band released its sophomore album, “Distraction,” back in February. Chappo, The Demos, Skirts, and Machine Gun English will also play. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Mayfield performing live, it instantly clicked that Mayfield is a virtuoso on an acoustic. That’s not all Grizzly Adams, er, I mean Mayfield, brings to the table, though. He writes and sings fantastic Americana — and the laughs he draws between songs may have him a career in stand-up. He’s performed alongside folk monsters Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers, so you know he’s good from the on-stage company he keeps. — BY TREVOR LEWIS
Over his three-and-a-half-decade career, guitarist extraordinaire Bobby Broom has played in the bands of Sonny Rollins, Dr. John, Art Blakey, and many others. He even did a short stint with Miles Davis’ band. But since 1991, Broom has carved out a distinctive solo career, putting out one great album after another. His latest, “My Shining Hour,” is no exception. Broom’s style is distinguished by the clear, ringing tone he employs on classics like “Sweet Georgia Brown” and the title tune. My favorite cut on the album is Broom’s arrangement of Fats Waller’s “The Jitterbug Waltz.” The opening vamp, the rhythm, and the lead are all played by Broom with no overdubs. He works a similar sort of magic on Cole Porter’s “Just One of Those Things” and the old standard “Tennessee Waltz.” If there is a particularly fresh sound to “My Shining Hour,” it’s probably due to the fact that Broom and his excellent band-mates, Dennis Carroll on bass, and Makaya McCraven on drums, recorded it the old fashioned way, live in a studio using 1/4inch tape. — BY RON NETSKY

JAZZ | MYRIAD3
“The Where” is the somewhat unconventional title of the new album by drummer Ernesto Cervini, pianist Chris Donnelly, and bassist Dan Fortin, collectively known as Myriad3. The title is indicative of the never-predictable music the trio explores. While the album is full of slightly off-kilter originals, Myriad3 has also been known to bring a new perspectives to the music of Thelonious Monk and other greats. Well known on the Toronto jazz scene, Myriad3 has embarked on a U.S. tour to celebrate the new release.

POP ROCK | TWENTY ONE PILOTS
Typically, a band either stands out because it is good or it breaks from the norm. In Twenty One Pilots’ case, it’s both. The schizophrenic pop group — and yes, that is actually a real subgenre of pop — uses a combination of keyboards, synthesizers and drums along with lyrics written in a poetic fashion. It’s a treat to hear the singer — well, he’s more like spoken word — break into a rap since his style, much like the group itself, just drips with uniqueness. Combine it with electronica and it’s easy to see the wide appeal the schizoid-pop duo carries. Twenty One Pilots plays with MisterWives and Vinyl Theatre on Wednesday, September 10, at the Main Street Armory, 900 East Main Street. $23-$25.

PITTSFORD PLAZA 387-0070 Following the 2014-15 season, John Haldoupis will retire from Blackfriars Theater after 35 years with the organization. PHOTO BY JOHN SCHLIA
Sharing the dream [ PROFILE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
“I hate everything I do at first. That’s what motivates me,” John Haldoupis says. He’s talking — passionately — about his first tries at creating and painting a stage set, something he has done for more than three decades for Blackfriars Theater. “I’ll start doing the underpainting with a big brush and I’ll hate how it looks. Then I’ll try a smaller brush, then a smaller one. I’ll keep working, and the thing eventually gets richer-looking, more layered. But it’s all about the underpainting, the bones of what you’re creating. Nothing is instantaneous.” Haldoupis has done the underpainting — both literal and figurative — for 35 years of memorable productions and performances at Blackfriars Theatre. But he announced last spring that he would step down as Blackfriars’ artistic director; the 2014-15 season, which starts this weekend with “Shirley Valentine,” will be his last. A native of Webster, Haldoupis showed artistic talent while very young. His grammar school art teacher visited 18 CITY SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014
the Haldoupis family twice a week for dinner and to give John painting lessons. “He didn’t really know what to do with me,” Haldoupis says. “So he gave me the notes from his own college art classes. I was in grade school, learning about color theory and perspective.” His education after that included a summer at the Chautauqua Institution, a one-person show, a membership in the National Watercolor Society, and a Scholastic Art Award that entitled him to four years of study at any school in the country. He chose RIT … and was immediately, he says “incredibly bored.” “At 17 or 18, I really was reluctant to go to college, and I didn’t like it. I was taking all these beginning-level classes when I had been working on a professional level. I showed my portfolio to my professors and they agreed, I could skip to the graduate level painting program. But I didn’t want to be a teacher, so I dropped out of school.” Design eased Haldoupis into theater, he says. His set and costume designs for community theater led to an invitation to work for Blackfriars, starting with
“Man of La Mancha.” He added directing to his resume with “A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine.” Within a couple of years, he was invited to be Artistic Director, and has since designed and directed hundreds of Blackfriars productions. “My approach to directing still comes from the visual aspect of a production,” he admits, but he shares this approach with one of his favorite Broadway directors, Hal Prince (of “Phantom of the Opera,” “Company,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Cabaret”), who searches for the “motor” of each show he directs. “That usually boils down to ‘What does the show look like?’” Haldoupis says. “‘What makes it move?’ This is why Prince’s shows are so visually arresting and polished” — a phrase that could well describe many of his Blackfriars productions, which have often made striking use of limited space (and limited budgets). Then there are the actors. When you’re a director, he says, “You’re part therapist, and part interpreter of the playwright — they are the true artists. It took me a continues on page 20

ART | NEW EXHIBIT OPENINGS ROUNDUP
A fresh, new month means fresh, new exhibits hosted by artist studios, galleries, and alternative spaces. Here are a few key picks, but for a full list, visit firstfridayrochester.org and check out the art openings section of CITY’s calendar in this issue or at rochestercitynewspaper.com. The result of a call to the community for submissions, “Bound to Come Apart: The Altered Book Art Exhibit” (pictured) will open Wednesday, September 3, with a reception on Thursday, September 4, 6 to 8 p.m. at Outside the Box Gallery (1000 Turk Hill Road, Bldg. #9, Fairport). The exhibit continues through September 27. Gallery hours are Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 6452485 or visit outsidetheboxag.com. On Friday, September 5, 6 to 9 p.m., the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education (713 Monroe Avenue) will host a rare triple opening reception, one in each gallery the center features. The Firehouse Gallery will present “Domesticated Fire,” featuring utilitarian vessels by four potters. Julie Crosby of Trumansburg, Fred Herbst of Corning, and Liz Lurie of Cazenovia each wood-fire their work, while Randall Carson, from Illinois, prefers salt fires — the sculpted surfaces bear unique markings, textures, and sheens, characteristic of these processes. The show continues through September 27. The Genesee Center’s Community Darkroom Galleries will host “Five by Six,” a photography exhibit produced entirely by Community Darkroom’s “Exhibit Experience” class. Participating photographers include Jen Casasanta, Talmadge Krajowsky, Ron Reilley, Jessica Robb, Steve Spring, and Ron Valentine. The work will remain on view through November 17. Finally, Joe Brown Gallery at the Genesee Center’s Printing & Book Arts Center will host “Ink & Stitch,” a show of work by and website launch party for mixed media artist, printmaker, and sweater designer Kate Fisher. This mini show continues through September 12. Call 244-1730, or visit geneseearts.com, for information regarding each gallery’s hours. Gallery r (100 College Avenue) will host “The Alchemic Elegy,” an homage to the disappearance of analog photography and its processes by photographer Doug Manchee. The opening reception takes place Friday, September 5, 6 to 9 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, call 242-9470 or visit galleryr.rit.edu. Right next door, Spectrum Gallery (Lumiere Photo, 100 College Avenue) will host “Between and Beyond,” featuring two series of photographs by Steve Malloy-Desormeaux. For the past eight years, Malloy-Desormeaux has photographed the local landscapes of Lake Ontario’s shoreline, represented in “Glimpsing Edgemere,” and the rural environment of upstate New York, represented in “Farmscapes.” The show will remain on view through September 30, and gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 461-4447, or visit spectrumgalleryroc.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 19

while to learn how to work with actors, how to push the buttons they need. I try to show them respect, and give them a comfort zone to work in.” When he won CITY Newspaper’s Achievement Award in Theater in 2010, he recalls thinking to himself, “How odd that an individual person should get this. One person didn’t do all this. Theater is a shared dream, on both sides of the footlights. I work with a lot of incredibly talented people who execute my dreams.” “The key to a Blackfriars season is variety,” Haldoupis says. “My choices

tend to be very eclectic and we sometimes push our subscribers. If everybody loves everything, you’re doing something wrong.” Haldoupis claims, “I despise elitist feelings about theater. You have to accept something for what it is, not what it isn’t. Lots of people say paintings on black velvet are horrible. No, you can have good painting on black velvet and bad painting on black velvet.” So along with Stephen Sondheim musicals and classic American plays, Blackfriars produces shows like “Boeing Boeing” and “Nunsense” — but with as much detail and artistry as any other show. Haldoupis’s choices for his last Blackfriars season are revealing. For his opening he wanted to be “nostalgic,” he says, so he chose the one-woman show “Shirley Valentine.” The show was a great success 15 years ago with Susan Hopkins. It is followed by Herb Gardner’s “I’m Not Rappaport,” which Haldoupis calls “a well-crafted American play that’s not overexposed.” (He puts last season production of Lanford Wilson’s “HOT L BALTIMORE” in this category — a title with just enough name recognition to get audiences interested in seeing it.) Holiday time brings a Las Vegas-style nightclub revue, “because I’ve always wanted to do showgirl costumes,” he says. This is followed by Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” directed by Fred Nuremberg. It’s obviously a familiar play, but Haldoupis thinks with Nuremberg’s direction and his design it will have “a Blackfriars twist.” “Fred and I agree that Shakespeare in modern dress doesn’t work, so we’re making it quasi-period, like a dreamscape.” Actors in white will perform in front of a backdrop of crumpled white paper and red roses (Haldoupis emphasizes that this “Romeo and Juliet” is still in the planning stages).
“Somebody wanted to make a tee-shirt saying, ‘It’s not a Blackfriars musical unless somebody dies!’” PHOTO BY JOHN SCHLIA
The season concludes with the Jeanine Tesori musical “Violet.” “When I tell people it’s about a young woman who’s been disfigured with an axe and who travels cross-country to find a TV evangelist who will cure her, the response is, ‘Oh yes — quintessentially John Haldoupis.’” “I like to do whatever floats my boat, even if it’s darker material,” he says, and Blackfriars’ musicals include such somber fare as Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” and “Passion,” Kander and Ebb’s “Zorba,” and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard”. “Somebody wanted to make a tee-shirt saying, ‘It’s not a Blackfriars musical unless somebody dies!” When asked about his decision to retire from Blackfriars, he says, “It’s been 35
years of Fridays at 8 p.m.,” he says. “It’s relentless. You know when Friday night comes around that there’s no turning back. Putting on theater is a job with an intensity like no other. “And it’s an intensity I think I can live without,” he says with a laugh. “I’ll be 55 in October and I’d like to go back to making art just for me. I want to go back to being my own playwright.” What does he consider his legacy? “A certain consistency”, he says. “By having my hands in a lot of things, I think there is something called ‘a Blackfriars show.’ It’s nice to think people get what I’ve been all about.”

THEATER | “MARX IN SOHO”
In “Marx in Soho,” the Marx is definitely Karl, but Soho is not the one in London (where Marx actually lived in the mid1800’s), it’s the one in late 20th-century New York City, where the great political philosopher has materialized, but still finds plenty of economic and social injustice to rail against, while also recalling the tendentious women in his life: his wife Jenny and daughter Eleanore. This weekend, Greater Rochester Repertory Company produces this 1999 play by the revisionist American historian Howard Zinn, with veteran local actor Jack Simel playing Karl Marx. The Los Angeles Times summed up Zinn’s message as “Capitalism without conscience is a recipe for revolution” — which suggests that “Marx in Soho” might have been written this morning. “Marx in Soho,” presented by Greater Rochester Repertory Company, is Thursday, September 4, through Sunday, September 7, at RAPA, 727 East Main Street. 7:30 p.m. on September 4, 5, and 6; 2 p.m. on September 7. $15-$20.

THEATER | “THE PHILANDERER”
Two women want to marry the same man, who really isn’t interested in getting married at all but would rather spout jokes and paradoxes: this must be a Bernard Shaw play. “The Philanderer” is one of his earliest, written in 1893 and displaying many of the political concerns and character types that preoccupied him throughout his career. As one of Shaw’s “Plays Unpleasant,” along with “Widower’s Houses” and “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” “The Philanderer” was so controversial that it wasn’t performed until 1902. When Classics Theater of Rochester presents “The Philanderer” at MuCCC it will be using Shaw’s rarely performed original ending. We won’t spoil it, but we can tell you that it is definitely … Shavian. Shaw’s “The Philanderer,” presented by Classics Theater of Rochester will be performed Thursday, September 4, through Sunday, September 7, at MuCCC, 137 Atlantic Avenue. 8 p.m. on September 4, 5, and 6; 2 p.m. on September 7. $12-$15.

SPECIAL EVENT | CHAMADA
The term “Chamada” literally means call. And when the Rochester Capoeira Center opens its doors on Friday, September 5, the “Chamada” is to see Afro-Brazilian inspired pen and ink works by local artist Jeffery Smith, and to see performances and demonstrations by the Rochester Capoeira Center. Capoeira is a dance-like art form that grew out of a martial art. To elude their masters’ attention, African slaves in Brazil would disguise their fighting practices as a dance — leading to the creation of the fluid motions, flips, and kicks of Capoeira.

24 CITY SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014
Modern culture is chock full of short attention spans that are over-inundated with constantly-refreshing waves of images. A designer is tasked not only with capturing the essence of the article or product, says freelance graphic designer Adam Maida, but with engaging a potential audience, showing them why they should take the time out of their day to discover more. The 26-year-old Rochester native is a self-taught artist, and says he isn’t sure when his passion for drawing became a career in graphic design. Maida’s diverse range of clients includes music promoters, local businesses, The New York Times, and independent filmmakers. “I’ve always liked working with my hands,” Maida says. “Even now, I’d say I use the computer maybe 60 percent of the time. Mostly for tweaking, final editing, but I usually always start with my hands, sketching.” Maida mostly creates physical collages, scanned in either piece by piece, or arranged and then scanned. If he’s not sourcing material from his own photographs, paintings, or drawings, Maida cuts images from books, newspapers, magazines, and random ephemera he’s collected over the years. “I’m big on simplicity — I think most designers are,” Maida says. His style
is stark, and to-the-point, juxtaposing different combinations of boldly colorful shapes, continuous tone images, simple black graphics, color photographs, playful explorations of type, hand-drawn lines, or anxious, painterly handwriting. Maida says his style owes a lot to 1960’s Cuban posters and to the Polish Poster School, specifically artists Henryk Tomaszewski and Roman Cieślewicz. Maida is fascinated by imagery created in the Iron Curtain-era, “because they were facing so much censorship,” he says. “And so they would use visual metaphor, jokes or ideas to sneak their work past censorship bureaus.” Maida’s portfolio includes a lot of film-based work, both personal projects for movies he has enjoyed — such as a poster he created for Italian director and scriptwriter Federico Fellini’s “8 1/2” — and for independent filmmaker clients. He was commissioned by Seattle-based filmmaker Joshua Caldwell to create posters for three films based in Los Angeles. The simple design for “Layover” features a line drawing of a pair of heelclad legs which transform into two crossed arrows, signifying the two paths involved in a choice the main character must make. Other clients have included New York City-based advertising agencies, such as Sawyer, which provides promotion for documentaries, TV series, and film series. When he was commissioned to create a poster for the 2013 High Falls Film Festival, which historically features films about women or by female writers and directors, Maida took the
opportunity to create a work that addressed how much women filmmakers have been overlooked. His design was selected for inclusion in the upcoming Illustrators 56 book, which is put out annually by the Society of Illustrators. Maida has a fairly strong local client base. Among his favorite projects are a set of very pared-down images he designed for a David Lynch film series, shown at the Dryden Theatre, which was used in social media to promote the screenings. Two soon-to-open small businesses — a coffee house and bakery — will feature Maida’s handiwork. “I’m lucky to know some very creative individuals who are passionate about what they do, who are now starting their own businesses and reaching out to me” for logos and help branding their companies, he says. As anyone who owns their own business
knows, getting work is a constant hustle. Maida regularly sends “cold call” emails to art directors, which is how he began working for the New York Times last June. He was hired the same week that he contacted the art director of the oped page, tasked to created imagery for, “When Prisoners Protest,” a story on prison uprisings. Though he doesn’t want to specialize or be known as a political artist, Maida says he’s pleased that in the past year he’s been assigned some heavy, socialcommentary driven work. And as a personal project, he recently created a striking image featuring the Palestinian flag standing upright with hands grasping the stripes like prison bars, and lined up top by barbed wire. “I’m starting to become very interested in opening up and creating a dialogue about some things people don’t really want to talk about,” he says, “whether it’s the situation in Gaza, or here, with racial issues.” Maida rejects the idea that we live in a “post-race” America, and says “it’s very obvious that we don’t, with what’s happened in the last few months.” There is still an underlying racial issue within the judicial system and in how police handle their interactions with black civilians, he says. “At the end of the day,” Maida says, “I just want to create something that stops someone in their tracks, even for a second.”

DANCE | “THE DUETS PROJECT”
The College at Brockport starts up the Rochester dance season this week with “The Duets Project,” a show that explores duets in dance with unique pairings of dancers, musicians, and artists. The pieces to be performed were chosen by distinguished New York City curators and created by choreographers with distinctly individual styles, and many of the dancers and choreographers will be familiar to Rochester dance aficionados. The pieces promise extremes of both style and emotional content. One of the pieces connects dance, photography, and cello music. Choreographer Richard Walters created this new work for Vanessa VanWormer (faculty, The College at Brockport), and was inspired by the photography of Altamash Urooj, specifically his “Taking Life” series which documents the artist’s encounter with a dying bird on a beach. Cellist Hilary Glen provides the music, and visual artist Brad Parquette contributes as well. Also, look for Daniel Gwirtzman’s “Together,” in which the dancers — Heather Roffe (faculty, Nazareth College) and Courtney World — are literally connected during the whole piece. Roffe is a striking dancer with a flair for sensual expressiveness, and has performed with World before. This is sure to be a complex and attention-grabbing work. An original score of electronic, instrumental music by Jeff Story will be performed.

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA
Geneseo Square Mall, 243-2691, rochestertheatermanagement.com
Whatever else the contemporary thriller accomplishes, the form strongly establishes the Central Intelligence Agency as major villains in the world of espionage and counterespionage. Over the decades, films as different as “Gorky Park,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” and most recently, “A Most Wanted Man,” to cite only a few examples, paint the Agency as thugs, torturers, assassins, and even traitors. To its credit, “The November Man” continues that tradition.

The movie begins with an action scene that introduces the two major characters, their motivations, and in effect, the meaning of all the events that will follow. In one of those familiar pairings of the tutor and the tyro, a senior agent, Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) instructs his younger assistant, Mason (Luke Bracey) in the procedures of finding and shooting a potential assassin. The plan works imperfectly, as Mason takes too long to identify his quarry, reacts too slowly, and causes what the military euphemistically calls collateral damage, an occurrence that shapes the rest of the plot. The picture opens again five years later, with Devereaux, now retired in Switzerland, called upon by an old friend and comrade, Hanley (Bill Smitrovich), to travel to Moscow. Hanley needs him to extract Natalia (Mediha Musliovic), a spy with vital information about the next Russian president. In Moscow, everything goes wrong — a puzzled and desperate Devereaux finds himself the target of both the Russians and

the CIA, which leads to the usual car chase and shootouts, followed by a catastrophic explosion and a number of deaths. Although the story of Devereaux’s attempts to discover the source of the apparent plot against him dominates the action, a number of other initially unrelated threads run through his quest. A vicious, coldblooded Russian assassin, Alexa (Amila Terzimehic), journeys to Belgrade, Serbia, the movie’s central location, then proceeds to knock off a series of victims. Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko), a young woman who advises refugees from Russia, turns out to be Alexa’s prime quarry and a vital cog in the complicated mechanism of the plot. Adding more substance to those subjects, Mason and Devereaux engage in a running catand-mouse game, with Devereaux constantly outwitting the best efforts of a whole platoon of agents to capture or preferably, kill him. An internal battle within the Agency complicates matters further, as various individuals jockey for position and accuse each other of betrayal. The confusing layers of deception turn some portion of the action thriller into something of a mystery story, puzzling both the audience and Devereaux himself. The solution to the puzzle not only creates more surprises but also suggests a quite plausible scenario entirely relevant to the contemporary geopolitical situation. Although it never abdicates its mission as a thriller, “The November Man” adds more complexity to its relatively familiar action sequences

of automobile pursuits and crashes, explosions and stunts, and numerous gun battles. In the process, Devereaux faces the loss of one woman and attempts to save another, while contending with his own former organization, a band of Russian security agents, and the relentless female assassin. Employing a mostly foreign cast and filmed beautifully in Eastern Europe, the movie displays a slick and not entirely implausible surface. Unusually for a slam-bang action thriller, the historical references and the surprising political motivation behind all the action and all the plots actually make a good deal of quite depressing sense. In light of recent developments in the Middle East, the arguments of the chief villain should strike a responsive chord in some sensibilities. One of those actors who achieved a smooth transition from television to the big screen — his first big hit was the TV series “Remington Steele” — Pierce Brosnan accounts for much of the picture’s success. In “The November Man” he departs from the character he’s played in the past, the suave, handsome, dashing leading man with a touch of irony in the James Bond pictures or the remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair.” In the role of Devereaux, perhaps drawing on his work as a nasty character in a forgotten little flick called “The Matador,” he displays a dark side — the charm turned into bitterness, the irony into cynicism, the chiseled good looks grizzled and lined by time, that subtle thief of youth: he makes a very good good/bad guy.
“Alive Inside”
“Starred Up”
“The One I Love”
(NR), DIRECTED BY MICHAEL ROSSATO-BENNETT SCREENS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 7 P.M. AT THE LITTLE

Scottish director David Mackenzie’s searing prison drama begins with a sequence in which 19-year-old Eric (Jack O’Connell) arrives for processing at a maximum security prison. He moves through each step with the calm demeanor of someone who’s well-versed in the procedure — if there was any question the boy isn’t a veteran, it’s answered by the time he reaches his cell and immediately begins crafting a crudely constructed shiv from the melted remains of a toothbrush. Eric has been “starred up,” the term for a juvenile prisoner being prematurely moved up to an adult facility due to excessively violent behavior. He’s soon assigned anger management group therapy sessions led by dedicated, but troubled, volunteer counselor Oliver (Rupert Friend). Eric’s father, Neville (Ben Mendelsohn) is already on the inside, where he’s been (and likely will remain) for all his son’s life. At first, Neville is content to allow his son to make his way through the prison with little interference. But as Eric begins making connections through the group, he’s seized by the need to exert a guiding force and act as a father for the first time. Letting his son know exactly what he thinks of those he’s choosing to associate with, he acts as something like the jailhouse equivalent of a helicopter parent. O’Connell gives a ferocious, powerhouse performance, and Mendelsohn is equally good: the friction between the two functions as the raw, wounded heart of the film. Despite its often shocking brutality, “Starred Up” emerges as a surprisingly tender and deeply humane look at the ties that bind us.
In “The One I Love,” Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”) and Mark Duplass (“Tammy”) play Sophie and Ethan, a married couple whose relationship is on the rocks. In addition to the general ennui that can sometimes develop in certain long-term relationships, they’re also dealing with the fact that Ethan cheated and Sophie hasn’t entirely forgiven him yet. Taking the advice of their therapist (Ted Danson), the couple agrees to spend a weekend at a couples retreat and attempt to reconnect with one another. The site of the retreat is a spacious country house with an extra guest house on the property — seemingly an ideal location for them to rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place. To say much more about the plot would be a disservice to what director Charlie McDowell and writer Justin Lader have set out to accomplish. Suffice it to say that what starts out as a lowkey relationship drama morphs into something else entirely, adding a blend of dark comedy, mystery, and even sciencefiction to the mix. Moss and Duplass are both pitchperfect in their roles. As Ethan and Sophie rediscover one another, the actors are called upon to find subtle variations in shading and inflection to play within their characters, and they deliver performances that alternate delightfully between playful and prickly. McDowell and Lader keep finding surprising ways for the central mystery to play out, and though the answers they provide don’t entirely satisfy, the journey of getting there more than makes up for it.
First-time director Michael Rossato-Bennett’s deeply affecting documentary, “Alive Inside,” spotlights the crusade being waged by social worker Dan Cohen as he seeks to drastically alter the way our country cares for the elderly. As founder of the nonprofit organization Music & Memory, Cohen travels to nursing homes across the nation, demonstrating how playing meaningful music for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia can allow them to reconnect with memories seemingly lost to them forever. It’s genuinely moving to see the effect Cohen’s methods have on certain patients, as the music reawakens something deep within them and the light returns to their eyes. The film is at its most compelling as it argues how a $50 iPod is infinitely more beneficial to a patient with dementia than the laundry list of pharmaceuticals they’re typically prescribed, though it loses focus and eventually settles for repeating itself as it expands further out to tackle the more generalized topic of elder care in our country. But as a poignant examination of aging in a society always looking toward the future, “Alive Inside” is a singularly emotional experience.

Cinema celebrates the worker Rochester Labor Film Series FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 DRYDEN THEATRE, GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE, 900 EAST AVENUE FRIDAY SCREENINGS: 8 P.M.; SUNDAY SCREENINGS: 2 P.M. FOR THE FULL SCHEDULE, VISIT ROCHESTERLABOR.ORG/FILMSERIES.HTML [ FEATURE ] BY GEORGE GRELLA
In honor of its 25th anniversary, the organizers of the Rochester Labor Film Series will screen a dozen motion pictures culled from 250 titles, repeating the most popular of all those shown in the past. The selection, a kind of anthology of movies employing the theme of labor, includes works from several countries in addition to the United States, ranging from documentaries to comedies, some of them described below. The series kicks off with the slick Hollywood comedy “Nine to Five” (1980), which stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. Though most labor films address the subject of industrial work, this one shows at least something of the often neglected reality of white-collar servitude, the conditions of millions of overworked, underpaid secretaries, clerks, and low-level office workers of all kinds all over the country. (Screens Friday, September 5.) 30 CITY SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014
Another, darker film, “Glengarry Glen Ross” (1992), provides an appropriate bookend to close the series. With a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey, the movie shows the wheeling and dealing of a boiler room full of desperate salesman making cold calls to pitch a questionable real estate development. The picture incidentally held the record for the most frequent use of what polite folks like to call “the f-word” until “The Wolf of Wall Street” achieved new heights of profanity (and I thought they were just speaking my language). (Screens Sunday, November 2.) Sandwiched between those two very different pictures, some documentaries and docudramas deal with a variety of labor issues. They include “Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price” (2005), a most successful and revelatory exposé of the practices of that company, its dominance of retail sales markets everywhere, and its effects on its workers. (Screens Sunday, September 7). An Austrian film, “Workingman’s Death,” (2005) confronts more traditional areas of labor movies — coal mines, sulfur mines, slaughterhouses, steel foundries — the industries that first ignited the labor movement in many countries and which still ruthlessly exploit their workers. (Screens Friday, September 12.) A couple of movies from Europe demonstrate the eclectic tastes of the organizers. They understandably chose the Italian “The Organizer” (1964), starring the incomparable Marcello Mastroianni as the title character, a
man attempting to help textile workers in Turin in the early years of the last century. (Screens Friday, October 3.) Oddly, they also picked Henri Clouzot’s “Wages of Fear” (1953), a terrific story of desperate men driving trucks full of nitroglycerin over South American mountains, expecting to be disintegrated at any moment, which really seems more a study in ironic existential despair. (Screens Sunday, October 26.) Two other familiar American films provide something like a commentary on their particular era. Charles Chaplin’s first sound picture, “Modern Times” (1936), displays his brilliant acrobatics along with his pervasive sentimentality in a story of an assembly line factory worker caught up in one disastrous event after another, all of them suggesting comically the victimization of the wage earner by bosses, government, and even technology. (Screens Sunday, September 21.) The only openly leftist film of its decade, “Salt of the Earth” (1954 — mistakenly dated in the Eastman House brochure), made in the shadows by blacklisted artists, uses a cast of ordinary people in its story of striking Mexican-American zinc miners fighting against the oppression of mine owners, law enforcement, and the American legal system, a testament to the courage of all concerned. (Screens Sunday, October 5.) Although the series remains a most important concept, a testament to the value of the George Eastman House to the community and the world, it also suggests a sad irony for our time. While corporate profits skyrocket, the average real wage of their employees stays flat or even decreases. The chief executives of almost every large business take home (let’s not say “earn”) something like four or five hundred times the annual income of their people. As the series demonstrates, once upon a time working men and women organized into unions, often in the face of violent reactions from employers and governments, when law enforcement served the powerful and state governors routinely called out the National Guard to defeat strikes. Now governors and legislatures simply pass laws that weaken unions of all kinds, with particular attention to public employees, routinely vilified in conservative circles. Sadly and ironically, ever since the triumph of Ronald Reagan, union members have voted in large numbers for those unionbusting lawmakers. The Rochester Labor Film Series reminds us of different times and attitudes, the continuing exploitation of workers in many places, and the brave fight for fairness and justice that may even inspire some sense of hope for a different view of working men and women.

A Home Fit for a King
916 South Avenue
If ever a house reflected the talent and tastes of its owner, 916 South Avenue does. The stately Victorian-era home in the South Wedge was built by William and Sarah Denny in 1879. It has been re-imagined over the past decade to incorporate a flamboyance, artistry and charm that complements the home’s more traditional aspects. One enters via the parlor expecting classic Victorian-era tall ceilings, deep moldings at floor and ceiling, narrow- plank oak floors, tall windows, two staircases, beveled glass doors. Those features are there, indeed, behind an extravaganza of royal purple and gold paint, shimmering ceilings, bejeweled woodwork, dramatic up-lighting, swags and medallions. All can be removed, of course, but what fun it would be to retain them. The star of the show is The Throne Room, a small powder room off the library. It features a literal throne, sconces that light with a handclap, elaborate rope pull that flushes the toilet, a mural, and draped ceiling. The long, narrow house feels larger than its 1,982 square feet: two parlors plus a library with a built-in bookcase along an entire wall; a large, bright dining room adjacent to the original pantry; a second floor featuring five (five!) good-sized bedrooms with neutral décor, and 1-3/4 baths. The kitchen is a neutral white with dark solid surface countertops and white subway tile. Ample storage and closet space abound, which is unusual in homes of this period.
Virtually hidden from busy South Avenue behind a fountain weeping beech tree dating back to 1885, the façade features two tones of fresh light green paint accented with rose and off-white details. The tall windows have shutters and lovely carvings under the pediments. The property is enormous – a full 0.6 acres stretching from South Avenue almost to Oakland Street, with fenced sections, lawn and mature trees. At the rear is a twocar barn with work/storage/escape space above. The driveway is accessed from quiet Oakland Street. While the lot might feel like a secluded escape, you’re right in the center of it all with some of the city’s best amenities at your fingertips. Highland Park and the heart of the South Wedge commercial corridor are just a few blocks away; downtown, the Genesee Riverway Trail, and the University of Rochester are a short bike ride away; and you can easily hop on I-490 for any trips outside the city limits. 916 South Ave. is listed for $169,900 through Jeff Schuetz of Mitchell Pierson Jr. Realtors (585) 586-6622. One final note to the ultimate buyer: Please retain the throne room! by Elizabeth M. Teall Elizabeth is a Landmark Society volunteer.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
All War Is Weird, But This ISIS War ...
As summed up by a Vox.com writer: “The absurdity runs deep.” America uses American military equipment to bomb American military equipment that ISIS captured (from inept Iraqi soldiers, inept in part since America disbanded Iraq’s professional military in 2003). America’s Kurdish allies, fighting ISIS, use inferior Russian weapons they captured in the 1980’s. ISIS has a sofar-safer haven in Syria because America declined to arm moderate Syrian rebels, largely out of fear that radicals like the future ISIS would capture weapons America provided. “So now (America is) bombing the guns that (it) didn’t mean to give ISIS because (America) didn’t give guns to their enemies because then ISIS might get guns.”
Compelling Explanations
Thomas Clark, 28, of Crawley, England, beat one of society’s most foreboding charges in July when he was acquitted of voyeurism even after admitting that he had hidden that video camera in a workplace rest room, and even despite evidence that he formerly worked in the pornography industry. Clark persuaded a Horsham Magistrates Court judge that he suffered an extreme phobia of diarrhea and vomit and that, by hiding the camera, he was thinking only of ascertaining that the rest room was clean before he entered. — In America, We’re All Great Parents: (1) Kayla McKenzie, 22, was charged with DUI in Bismarck, North Dakota, a condition that led her to crash into five separate vehicles or structures on Aug. 12 — while, according to police,
three unsecured children were in her car, including a year-old infant riding in her lap. Nonetheless, said the 0.252 blood-alcohol driver, “I look like a bad mother, but I’m not. I’m actually a really good mom.” (2) Rayvon Campos, 22, pleaded guilty in San Antonio in August to first-degree felony assault of his 1-month-old daughter that resulted in brain hemorrhaging. Nonetheless, he reassured the judge, “This is the first time I’ve ever been in trouble. ... I’m a real good dude.”
Suspicions Confirmed
— A fire hydrant at 393 University Ave. has brought in more parking ticket revenue (since 2008) than any other hydrant in Toronto — $289,620 on 2,962 violations, according to an August Toronto Star report. While hydrants are usually located at curbside to facilitate fire-engine access, the one at 393 University Ave. was placed about 20 feet from the curb, in the middle of a sidewalk, and obscured by a tree in a planter about 8 feet long. (Nonetheless, the law’s wording treats the hydrant, for illegal-parking and revenue-earning purposes, as if it were curbside.) — A woman hiking in Down Valley Park near Placerville, Colorado, told Denver’s KUSA-TV in August of her narrow escape from a mountain lion that had stalked her for a half-hour (crouching menacingly each time she attempted to retreat). At the closest point, recalled Kyra Kopestonsky, it was about 8 feet away. At that point, she told the reporter, “I don’t know why,” but “I just started singing opera really loud.” The mountain lion “sort of put its ears down and ... backed away.” (Only then was she able to call a friend, who alerted rescuers.)
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 36 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Explore new interests. Network with colleagues, clients and people who work in your field, and someone will grab your attention. An instant attraction will take you by surprise. Slow down and get to know more about the object of your desire before you divulge personal secrets. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The way you express what you want will capture the attention of someone dedicated, loyal and just as willing as you to make the first move. Keep your plans simple, practical and show restraint and moderation, and it will enhance your appeal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your fun-loving, outgoing nature will attract all sorts of interesting liaisons. Stick to the partners who share your values and aren’t overly possessive and jealous. The choice will be yours, and sending the wrong signal or leading someone on can result in a precarious situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will meet your match if you attend a conference, trade show or company picnic. Drum up some confidence and make a point to talk to someone you’ve been eyeing from afar for some time. Share your vision with this special someone, and you will make an impression.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your desire for variety and a change of scenery will result in travel, socializing or sharing emotional stories with someone you encounter throughout your journey. Keep in mind that not everyone will be as eager to share as you. Protect yourself from users and abusers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll find it difficult to resist an aggressive, flirtatious individual. Consult with a trusted friend or do your research and find out more about this pursuer before you take the bait and let intimacy develop. Chances are your love interest is attached to someone else.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What you do for others will attract someone as unique, generous and passionate as you. Love at first sight is likely to take you by surprise and lead you down an adventurous path filled with all sorts of possibilities. Enjoy the moment as the rush of love kicks in. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Steer clear of anyone promising you the impossible. Spend time with people who share your unusual, creative or physical endeavors. It’s the person you can tell your deepest secrets to who will win your heart and offer the same loyalty in return. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Stay within your comfort zone. If you have to exaggerate or make your life sound bigger, bolder and more adventurous than it is, you are probably trying to impress the wrong person. Offer honesty and a what-you-see-is-what-you-get persona, and you will attract the right partner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The way someone treats you will be confusing. Take a step back and let potential partners come to you. Observe the reaction and response you receive carefully, and you will be able to decipher if the person showing interest is into you or into what you have.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Relationship opportunities are apparent. Making changes to the way you live or getting in touch with people you haven’t seen for a long time will lead to an interesting encounter with someone who fits the criteria of a partner you think is a perfect fit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let someone’s monetary position be the determining factor when it comes to developing a personal relationship. There are plenty of ways you can form an equal and loving connection. Measure the pros and cons and compatibility, and be honest regarding what means the most to you.
