plant, it’s made huge contributions to clean, safe, and most important, reliable base-load electricity.

Electric systems must be balanced in terms of supply and demand. New York refuses to install higher voltage transmission lines, which would help the situation. As more coal and oil plants are taken off-line, system balance shifts. The nations’ transmission infrastructure is old and weak. We can’t address these issues piecemeal; we need a national energy policy that takes advantage of all sorts of generation.

We have very significant hydro resources Upstate, but most of that goes to New York City and Long Island. Gas turbines are cheap and easy to operate, but sourcing natural gas by hydrofracking is fraught with significant risks.

Cuomo and his dad hate nuclear and fail to recognize how vital the plants in New York are.

Every elected official wants to kick the can down the road. Sooner or later we will have a power crisis.

High-lever nuclear waste (spent fuel) is not a technical problem; it’s been solved at Yucca Mountain. It’s a political problem. Elected officials and the public don’t want to take the time to learn about the issue.

In my opinion, based on more than 20 years in the nuclear industry, we need more nukes, not less. Natural gas should be used to heat homes, not generate electricity. Oil should be used for transportation and the petrochemical industry. Nukes can make electricity from uranium, and we could power cars and railroads with the power they produce. We need educated, long-term strategic thinking to move forward.

Discipline in city schools

On “Climate Change: Lowering 2 CITY

OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

Temperature at RCSD (News):

With some 45 years of Rochester City School District experience as student, parent, and teacher, I am the first to confess that I am bereft of solutions. However, if the views of Mary Adams are indicative of the school board’s mindset, then I fear all is lost.

She notes that suspensions only serve to further “victimize” the suspended students. I submit that it is the students in regular attendance seeking an education who are the ones being truly victimized.

While Superintendent Vargas was seeking to improve the district’s abysmal attendance record, the Democrat and Chronicle quoted a student at East High School sagely noting that adding these students to the mix only exacerbates an already disruptive environment.

Sometimes achieving what you want can have unanticipated consequences.

IVAN LENNON

OMG – more studies and even a task force. A few good teachers, principals, and parents along with representative students can come up with more productive remedies in a week. Community groups need not get involved.

They often distract from honest solutions. If they really wanted to be a part of the solution, they would be working in the hallways and classrooms.

Discipline is just one element of a broader student-management issue, and student management is a mess because the broader systems themselves are chaotic.

Any effective system, process, policy, etc., is dependent on universal understanding and consistent enforcement. This is a fact. All successful organizations ensure that their employees and stakeholders understand the expectations and how these are enforced. The RCSD does a pitiful job at this.

The district gives the schools one day to prepare before school opens – one day! The Girl Scouts spend more time getting their candy sellers prepared.

GOTTA SAY IT

This article fails to address the most basic and most important reason of them all: the student’s home.

Each of us, whether we accept it or not, reflect what is going on in our private lives. Let’s address the white elephant in the room.

If the city community leaders worked on changing the messages people hear from community organizers/preacher on Sunday mornings to one of respect for others, instead of challenge to authority, and if the schools involved parents and guardian more in the lives of their children (specially the absent-by-choice kind of parents and guardians), I guarantee that you would see a huge change in the classrooms and grades.

This is not an easy solution, but it is the right solution IMHO. ACA DREAMER

Walking, biking for the climate

On “Rochester’s Bike Boulevard Experiment” (News): Not to

mention (Rochester takes greats pains not to) that bike boulevards will look nice on climate change adaptation strategies. Getting more folks out of their gas guzzlers so they can bike more safely through our city will reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA says 27 percent of our greenhouse gases come from transportation.

But in Rochester, there seems to be a concerted effort to disconnect active transportation (walking and bicycling) from what is stated in all climate studies and even local transportation studies: that more active transportation is a real strategy for addressing climate change.

Instead of the city educating the public on climate change, as is their responsibility (especially under the state’s Climate Smart Communities program, they seem terrified of doing so.

Why in Monroe County and in the City of Rochester is climate change not being communicated to the public?

Why are all of Rochester’s climate change efforts being conducted behind closed doors, instead of in the public? The public absolutely needs to know what their government is doing to adapt to climate change.

ENDORSEMENTS 2014: FOR GOVERNOR (As in September’s Democratic Primary, City’s editorial staff is divided on its endorsement for governor. Endorsements from both sides follow, with the staff majority first.)

Cuomo deserves our vote

BY JEREMY MOULE, TIM LOUIS MACALUSO, AND CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Andrew Cuomo isn’t a perfect governor, and some of his shortcomings are as serious as his critics say. We, too, are disturbed by his meddling in the work of the Moreland Commission and by the way he has tried to avoid debates during the election.

We’re troubled by his non-position on hydrofracking. Given the state’s extensive investigation into the process Cuomo ought to have developed a position by now. We suspect that he is amenable to fracking but doesn’t want to say so before the election.

We’re not fans of Cuomo’s campaignperiod tax-rebate checks. And we question the wisdom of his Start-Up NY program.

Why should one business receive subsidies

and a similar, possibly competing business not get them? Why should employees of some businesses avoid paying state income taxes and not others? And given Cuomo’s clout, he could have taken more progressive stands on some issues: corporate welfare and economic inequality, for instance.

But his critics minimize the importance of many of his accomplishments, and those far outweigh his faults.

Under Cuomo, there has been a strong sense of competent, effective government, compared to his recent predecessors. And he has shown a unique ability to work with both parties in the State Legislature continues on page 7

Hawkins, to protest and push progressive ideas

BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our editorial staff is usually able to reach consensus on political endorsements, but in this year’s governor’s race, we weren’t, so we’re giving you the arguments of both sides.

As the majority of our editorial staff spells out this week, Andrew Cuomo has done many good things for New York.

Neither of his two third-party candidates has the experience or political skill to run New York State. And his Republican opponent would try to lead New York backwards in several key areas.

If this were a closer race, I would join my colleagues and endorse Cuomo. Given Cuomo’s substantial lead, however, New Yorkers have the opportunity to register a

protest by voting for one of his opponents.

In my case, it’ll be Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins.

A protest is important. Cuomo’s negatives are serious, and if we don’t object, the price – for all of us – is enormous.

Politicians don’t get elected to an office as important as governor unless they’re tough, and Andrew Cuomo is plenty tough.

That toughness has done a lot of good, but it also raises big concerns. Publicly, he has become disturbingly arrogant, twisting the facts, refuting his own on-the-record statements, doing little campaigning, and acting more like a monarch who can’t be continues on page 7

Arguments for and against redistricting prop

NYSUT sues state

A lawsuit by New York State United Teachers, the union that represents most of the state’s teaching force, says that the state is stepping on teachers’ First Amendment rights by prohibiting them from discussing standardized test questions. The lawsuit was filed by five teachers — four from the Spencerport Central School District. The suit stems in part from the “Stand with Spencerport” petition against the Common Core and standardized testing.

Elaine Schmidt: the redistricting amendment on the ballot next month is a step in the right direction. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Three ballot propositions will greet voters on November 4. The first asks whether the state’s Constitution should be amended to change how State Assembly, Senate, and New York’s Congressional districts are redrawn.

Currently, the once-a-decade redistricting process is handled by a task force of Assembly members and senators. Under the amendment, that responsibility would go to a standalone commission.

Elected officials would be unable to serve on the panel, but state legislative leaders would appoint eight of the commission’s 10 members. The Legislature and the governor would have to approve the redrawn districts.

The Rochester area League of Women Voters, the Interfaith Alliance of Rochester, and the Social Justice Council of the First Unitarian Church of Rochester will hold a forum on the ballot measure from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, October 20, at First Unitarian Church, 220 South Winton Road.

Judy Weinstein, who represents the league, will argue for the proposition. Stuart Berger, who represents the Interfaith Alliance of Rochester, will argue against it.

Statewide, the League of Women Voters urges voters to support the measure. It takes the responsibility of drawing the lines out of legislators’ hands and provides for a more public process, says Elaine Schmidt, a member of the Rochester chapter of the league.

“This is a step in the right direction, we feel,” she says. “It’s better than what we have.”

But Berger says that the process would be bipartisan, not nonpartisan, which still allows for collusion between the political parties. A commission with an odd number of members, with greater stress on members who are independent of the major parties, would be a better approach, he says.

People seem to understand that the hospital needs to expand, but they don’t want it to grow beyond its current footprint. “The good news with this project is that by building in an infill area where we have space on our existing campus that it meets our needs and it meets the neighbors’ needs.” [ BARBARA FICARRA, HIGHLAND HOSPITAL ]

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Preliminary hospital designs to be shown Residents of the neighborhoods near Highland Hospital will get a better look at a proposed hospital addition at a meeting on Monday, October 20. The meeting is at 5:30 p.m. in the Olmsted Lodge in Highland Park.

Residents will see preliminary designs for a two-story, 30,000-square-foot addition that would be built off the back of the hospital on what is currently a hospital parking lot at the end of Bellevue Drive.

The expansion would allow the hospital to increase the size of its operating rooms to meet industry standards, says Barbara Ficarra, director of public relations for Highland Hospital. Twenty-six new observation beds would also be added, she says.

The project still needs approvals from the City of Rochester and the State Department of Health.

Residents got an early look at the plans over the summer, Ficarra says. And now hospital officials are ready to share more details, updated visuals, and to get additional feedback, she says.

Ficarra says that people seem to understand that the hospital needs to expand. But they’re also clear that they don’t want the facility to grow beyond its current footprint, she says.

“The good news with this project is that by building in an infill area where we have space on our existing campus that it meets our needs and it meets the neighbors’ needs,” Ficarra says.

But parking is still a concern. The addition will displace more than 20 parking spots — more while construction is going on. Mike Mahoney, chair of the Highland Park Neighborhood Association, says hospital employees already use adjoining streets for parking.

“Definitely there are some people that consider it an inconvenience,” he says.

Ficarra says that a parking study will be done in connection with the project.

“We are looking at keeping the same number of parking spaces that we have by kind of re-fitting some of our parking areas, restriping,” she says. “But that’s preliminary.

We’re still looking at that.”

The Highland Park neighborhood is tightly packed; there’s not a lot of breathing room between the hospital and nearby houses. The close quarters mean that residents pay close attention to the goings-on at the hospital.

They are especially worried about the possibility of the hospital expanding into the neighborhood.

Many residents were upset when the plans for the addition were first announced earlier this year, because the hospital had also purchased the house at 27 Bellevue, which adjoins the hospital. Ficarra says that officials considered using the house for office space on a temporary basis while the addition is being built. But plans changed, she says, and the house is back up again for sale.

“I will say that their willingness to put it back on the market I think went a long way in kind of improving our relationship with them,” Mahoney says. “We certainly hope they’re not going to encroach into the neighborhood any more.”

Question Bridge continues Rochester Contemporary Art Center hosted the first in a series of panel discussions related to the video installation “Question Bridge: Black Males,” at Rochester Contemporary Art Center last week. The discussion focused on the representation of black men in the media.

The need for positive representation in the media was reiterated many times, as well as the need for diversity in newsrooms to ensure that seemingly un-important details aren’t overlooked and that stereotypes aren’t perpetuated through reporting.

The panel also agreed that as the Internet has increased the speed and consumption of news, media professionals should slow down and think critically about the way they present information.

City would like to hear your perspective on these questions: “What is the role of the media in defining who you are?” and “How do the meanings behind hip-hop songs affect you?” We encourage commentary on all platforms.

ENDORSEMENTS 2014 FOR STATE SENATE O’Brien has earned a second term

BY JEREMY MOULE

Even before Democratic State Senator Ted O’Brien had a challenger, New York politicos knew his re-election battle would be tough; he’s a freshman legislator in a competitive district, and Republicans were clear that they’d be gunning for the seat.

Then Republican Rich Funke entered the race, and it virtually guaranteed that the 55th Senate District would see one of the most competitive election battles in the state.

Feeding the furor is a larger battle between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Senate. The chamber is closely divided between 32 Democrats, 29 Republicans, and two vacant seats. But control of the body is shared between the five-member Independent Democratic Conference and the GOP — though the conference has said that it’ll align with mainline Dems after the election.

The outcome of the O’Brien-Funke race is crucial in determining which party or coalition controls the Senate. One of the reasons why Democrats and Republicans see potential in the race is because of the district itself.

The 55th starts in Irondequoit and the eastern part of the city, and ends in Naples, Ontario County. It’s a diverse district that includes factories and farms, and lumps in some of the poorest parts of the city with Monroe County’s wealthiest suburbs.

And while Democrats have an enrollment advantage, it’s slight.

O’Brien won the seat in 2012 by defeating Republican Assembly member Sean Hanna, so Democrats know that he can win.

And in Albany, O’Brien has held positions of some influence within his conference.

Democratic leaders appointed him as the ranking minority member of the chamber’s banking and environment committees.

OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

Ted O’Brien. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Throughout his first term, O’Brien has made it a point to tackle important issues that affect all parts of his district.

He pushed for reforms to the state’s brownfield cleanup program, which would have emphasized redevelopment projects in poorer neighborhoods.

(Ultimately, the Legislature extended the existing program through early 2017.)

He also advocated for phasing out an unpopular energy tax, which was a critical issue for businesses.

O’Brien is committed to Upstate economic development, but is equally concerned with social justice, environmental issues, and reproductive rights. He’s the best choice to represent the 55th District, and he deserves re-election.

Rich Funke. PHOTO PROVIDED

In Funke, Republicans see a candidate with strong name recognition and a reputation as a trusted, impartial voice — cultivated through decades spent as a local news and sports anchor.

But it’s not entirely clear where he stands on some issues, though he’s taken generally conservative positions on reproductive rights and gun control. Funke has made few media appearances, and his campaign failed to set up an interview for this story, despite several requests.

O’Brien and Funke both say that

New York’s tax environment impedes economic development. But O’Brien has been particularly focused on Upstate manufacturing, which is important given

the growth in high tech and advanced manufacturing operations in the Rochester area. He says that he’s proud of his vote to support tax cuts for Upstate manufacturers.

“The fact that we’ve started to move the needle in the right direction I think is important,” he says.

He also says that he wants more state resources devoted to work force development, which would help local companies find qualified workers and help local residents get jobs.

Funke has said little more than he wants to see property tax relief and the return of the STAR property tax rebate checks. In a YouTube video posted to his campaign site, Funke says that he supports more state continues on page 9

and get things done — including four ontime budgets.

Cuomo may be heavy-handed, but as many problems as that has created, it has resulted in some remarkable accomplishments. If he hadn’t been as forceful as he was on marriage equality and gun control, for instance, and if he hadn’t been as adept as he is in working with both Republicans and Democrats, those things wouldn’t have happened.

Cuomo has focused more on Upstate economic development than any recent governor, and the State Legislature is following his lead. We now have New York City legislators who talk as if they actually know where Upstate is.

And Cuomo’s Upstate efforts extend well beyond the Buffalo Billion. In the Town of Greece, for example, the state is building a nanotech facility that will be equipped for solar cell and semiconductor research and development. The state will own the property and equipment, but companies and their employees will use it. It’s a better approach than the traditional subsidies that the state would otherwise hand these companies to move here.

The governor has also made it a point to bolster some emerging food, beverage, and agricultural industries in Upstate New York.

Recognizing the growth potential among the state’s breweries, wineries, and distilleries, the governor directed agencies to simplify permitting processes.

Cuomo’s record on education is a complex one. Like his recent predecessors, he hasn’t increased funding to the levels that many educators believe is needed. And he

continues from page 3

shares some views with education reformers that many teachers don’t like: he supports teacher evaluations that are linked to state tests, merit pay for exceptional teachers, and the Common Core. While he hasn’t been pro-union, he hasn’t tried to destroy the unions the way that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has. Cuomo has supported universal prekindergarten, and he wants to spend $2 billion over five years to upgrade school technology.

He has been a strong, eloquent supporter of women’s equality, and although unsuccessful, he fought hard for the adoption of the Women’s Equality Act, which he proposed. The Assembly has passed the entire 10-point bill, but the Senate passed nine and omitted the 10th point, so Cuomo hasn’t been able to sign any of it into law.

Nine of the act’s 10 points have not been controversial. They include provisions strengthening women’s rights to equality in the workplace and adding protections involving sexual harassment and domestic violence.

The 10th point, which Senate Republican leaders have refused to bring to a vote, would match state law with the protections established in Roe v. Wade. New York’s abortion laws predate that Supreme Court decision, and they omit a protection that would allow a woman to get an abortion past 24 weeks of pregnancy if her health is in danger.

That 10th point is crucial; if the Supreme Court throws out Roe v. Wade — not a remote possibility — a stronger New York law would guarantee protections that state law doesn’t provide now. And we are confident that Cuomo continues on page 11

bothered with things like political debates than a candidate in a democratic country.

Instead, he has handed out tax rebates to voters and traveled around announcing funding for projects throughout the state.

I continue to worry about his infatuation with casinos, which offer far less potential for economic benefit than he professes – and plenty of opportunity for corruption.

His well-documented interference with the Moreland Commission is a major concern, and early this month, the respected website Capital, which focuses on state politics, reported that Cuomo officials seem to have interfered with a federal study that the administration had commissioned.

As part of the administration’s assessment of possible environmental and health risks from hydrofracking, the state had contracted with the US Geological Survey to study the level of methane that already occurs in water wells in the Southern Tier. The original draft, Capital reported, said that gas “drilling, extraction, transport via pipelines, and underground storage” could “inadvertently introduce methane into drinking water supplies.” The final report – released after substantial vetting by the Cuomo administration – omitted that statement, Capital said, and added a line stating that the risk of methane pollution “can be reduced if the casing and cementing of wells is properly designed and constructed.”

As Capital noted, back-and-forth communication isn’t unusual when governments hire outside agencies to conduct studies like this one. But, Capital said, “the communication related to the contents and

timing of the report” resulting from the methane study “was particularly intense.”

The troubling implications of the fracking study combined with the clear meddling in the Moreland Commission point to a governor who lives by his own rules. And he underscored that with his reaction to the media reports on the Moreland meddling.

He had first insisted that the commission would conduct an independent investigation and that his own actions were fair game. But when the commission’s investigation began to touch areas that could reflect badly on him, Cuomo representatives ordered the commission to back off. And after abruptly shutting down the commission, Cuomo shrugged off charges of interference.

“I can’t ‘interfere’ with it, because it is mine,” he told the New York Times. “It is controlled by me.”

That kind of behavior betrays the public trust. And it reinforces everything many Americans believe about their political leaders.

Protesting won’t turn the governor into a Boy Scout, but each of us has a responsibility to speak out when those in power misuse that power. There are few ways we can do that, but casting a vote is one, and it’s an important one.

ENDORSEMENTS 2014: FOR CONGRESS Keep Louise Slaughter

BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Calling Congress member Louise Slaughter a progressive is an understatement. She’s one of the most liberal and loyal members of the Democratic Party, and a political rock star in her home district.

She’s also a tenacious and scrappy fighter who has survived numerous Republican attempts to unseat her, probably few more qualified than her last opponent, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks.

This year, voters in New York’s 25th District have to choose between Slaughter and her Republican challenger, Gates Town Supervisor Mark Assini.

Slaughter, who is running for her 15th term, should keep her job.

The midterm election is critically important. The economy is finally on the mend, and there are serious hotspots around the globe; the last thing that the country needs right now is a Congress that would abdicate its responsibilities and passively permit the country to lapse into another decade of war.

And most important, a Republicancontrolled House of Representatives — one of the most partisan in recent memory — makes progressive voices, particularly the voices of women, essential to the balance of ideas in Washington.

Slaughter’s impressive list of achievements makes her the right choice for Congress. Much of her success is directly linked to years of experience building relationships and knowing how to navigate the labyrinth that is Washington, even when you’re not in the majority party.

Slaughter has helped get funding to rebuild the Rochester area’s economy: $16 million toward a new VA outpatient clinic; $15 million to fill the inner loop; and $15 million to build a new Amtrak train station.

She’s also helped get money for research at local universities, and to support Rochester’s photonics industry — repeatedly cited as one of the region’s most promising industries for future job growth.

And over the years, Slaughter’s been on the right side of some of the nation’s most controversial issues.

8 CITY

OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

Louise Slaughter. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

She opposed the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, for example, and she was against electronic surveillance without a warrant.

Slaughter’s support for women’s reproductive rights is unwavering, and she has long worked to protect victims of domestic violence including LGBT partners, immigrants, Native Americans, and college students.

And she’s also focused her attention on issues that are often not mainstream, but critically important. A microbiologist, Slaughter has long pushed the Food and Drug Administration to clamp down on the overuse of antibiotics in the animal farming industry, warning the public about the potential for antibiotic-resistant superbugs in humans.

Assini, who has been Gates town supervisor

since 2010, says that he would be a voice of reason if he wins in November, and that Washington party politics would not dictate his decisions.

Every candidate says something like that when campaigning, of course, but their attitudes often change quickly once they’re in office. Though Assini may be sincere, he

Mark Assini. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

would almost certainly have to fall in line with an extremely partisan Republican-controlled Congress. And he would have little influence with his party’s leaders.

Assini is not a newcomer to politics. He knows that moderate Republicans who may be inclined to work with President Obama or a Democratic Senate tend to move further right out of fear of the Tea Party wing of the GOP. Assini is extremely critical of Slaughter’s support for high-speed rail. He says that he’s against funding a high-speed rail system in this region because the tracks won’t allow especially high speeds, and people won’t use it. He’s partly right. The system proposed for New York State would not reach the speeds seen in Japan or parts of Europe.

But Slaughter is also correct in saying that the US has fallen woefully behind on expanding its use of rail, and continues to be overly reliant on the automobile – which prolongs dependency on fossil fuels.

Assini says that one of his chief concerns is the region’s crumbling infrastructure.

Upgrading bridges and highways would also

serve a dual purpose, he says, by creating jobs.

And polls show that Americans generally support infrastructure spending, he says.

But Republicans haven’t supported legislation to fund infrastructure bills.

Assini’s biggest criticism of Slaughter is, not surprisingly, her strong support for the Affordable Care Act. Assini says that he hears complaints from his senior constituents almost daily about the potentially higher costs for Medicare Advantage plans.

Criticism of the ACA’s changes to Medicare Advantage plans has long been one of the GOP’s staples, which makes Assini’s concerns kind of ironic. The reform was designed to reduce government overspending on the plans by letting the marketplace administer them.

Slaughter can hardly contain her scorn for how Republicans have spent inordinate amounts of time and resources to repeal the ACA. In typical Slaughter fashion, she makes no apologies for her support of the ACA, and she says that she’ll continue to fight for a single-payer health care system.

state. Cuomo proposed the legislation, which tackles everything from wage discrimination to sex trafficking.

The Assembly passed the legislation, but the Senate only passed bills covering nine of the 10 points. Senate Republican leaders have refused to let the 10th point, which would put the abortion rights spelled out in Roe v. Wade into state law, come up for a vote.

Funke does not support the 10th point.

In ads, Funke repeatedly blames New York City politicians — one of his favorite targets — for holding up the nine noncontroversial points. (In one mailer he says that equal pay for women would be his top priority in the Senate.)

But that’s not quite how it’s worked.

O’Brien twice supported the nine points that came up for a vote in the Senate.

Since the Senate and Assembly legislation haven’t matched, however, the governor has had no bill to sign.

Whether that’s the fault of Assembly Democratic leaders or Senate Republican leaders is a matter of perspective. Funke places the blame on the Democraticled Assembly. But O’Brien reiterates his support for the nine points, as well as the abortion rights provision.

Anti-abortion groups as well as the Senate GOP’s campaign arm say that the provision would allow women to have abortions almost up to birth for almost any reason, and would change who can perform abortions. Both claims are flat-out wrong, but that hasn’t stopped Republicans from using them to attack O’Brien.

“If federal judiciary overturned Roe v. Wade and said it’s a state’s decision, we would not have the protections that women have now in New York under Roe v. Wade and the case law that flows from it,” says O’Brien, who’s been endorsed by reproductive rights groups and the National Organization for Women. “I think it’s critically important for us to codify Roe v. Wade in New York law, and that’s all that this does.”

ROCHESTERCITYNEWSPAPER.COM

But the race for the 55th District is as much about overall control of the Senate as it is local representation. Supporting O’Brien is, in effect, supporting Democratic control of the Senate.

Democrats were last in charge in 2009 and 2010, and many New Yorkers rightly remember the experience as a disaster.

Ineffectual leadership and power grabs by some members threw the Senate into chaos.

Republicans gleefully invoke those memories as they try to persuade New Yorkers to put them back in charge. But they conveniently omit their own role in the dysfunction, since Republican leaders were all too willing to align with the rogue Democrats, pretty much guaranteeing dysfunction.

We do have reservations about handing Senate control to the Democrats. In principal, we don’t care to have one party in total control at any level of government. And no one wants a repeat of the turmoil of a few years ago.

But the Democratic conference has changed since the last time it was in power. Some of the problem Dems are no longer in office, for instance. And O’Brien points out that the conference now has a bigger Upstate voice: Democrats from Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Hudson Valley regions have been elected to the chamber during the intervening years.

At the top, Cuomo has made it clear that he’s interested in cutting taxes. Many Democratic senators, O’Brien included, have aligned themselves with the governor on this issue.

And the fact is that key pieces of legislation won’t advance as long as Republicans control which bills come to the floor. Some key fracking bills, including measures that would prohibit New York landfills from accepting out-ofstate fracking wastes or restrict the ability of state water treatment plants to accept out-of-state fracking waste water will likely languish unless Democrats take control.

A minimum wage increase stands a better chance of passing with Democrats

in charge of the Senate. And so does the full Women’s Equality Act.

TAKE THE SURVEY AT

O’Brien has been a reliable advocate for

a higher minimum wage. He voted for legislation, signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo, that’ll increase the wage to $9 an hour at the end of 2015. But he says that another increase is necessary, and he’s aligned himself with a coalition pushing for a $10.10 an hour minimum wage. He says that he also wants legislation authorizing counties and cities to set their own minimum wages.

O’Brien also deserves credit for sticking his neck out on a few controversial issues; he was the only senator from the Rochester area to vote in favor of the SAFE Act. And he’s stuck by that vote.

When Funke announced his candidacy in March, he said that parts of the SAFE Act are good, but that it was rammed through the Legislature. He said that he wants the law repealed —though that’s unlikely that’ll happen.

O’Brien successfully pushed for the State Education Department to release questions and answers from past Common Core-based standardized tests.

And when the state released a draft management plan for Hemlock-Canadice State Forest that alarmed the public and city officials, O’Brien intervened.

The plan didn’t expressly prohibit gas and oil drilling on the forest land or within the watersheds for Hemlock and Canadice lakes. O’Brien reached out to state environmental officials to discuss the plan and he began working with a state environmental group to develop legislation to add protections to the property. The state is still revising the plan and the legislation is on hold.

We haven’t always agreed with O’Brien, however. We disapproved of his vote against the DREAM Act, which would have extended state financial aid for college to children of undocumented immigrants. And we disagreed with his opposition to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to allow inmates to take college degree programs.

O’Brien says that he was responding to constituent input and that the state should instead spend the money that would have

gone to those proposals on increased aid to state colleges and for tuition assistance.

But O’Brien’s positions have always been thoughtful and deliberate. And if nothing else, those two positions do show that he’s not afraid to break with his party.

CITY 9

ENDORSEMENTS 2014: FOR GOVERNOR

Hawkins continues from page 7

Hawkins has received almost no coverage in this campaign. The media seem to mention him (along with Libertarian candidate Michael McDermott) simply because he’s on the ballot. And some dismiss him as having ideas too far out in left field to pay attention to.

Some of Hawkins’ ideas are indeed not realistic. Others may be sound, but they’re expensive, and Hawkins’ tax-reform proposals aren’t likely to pay the full cost.

But on many issues, progressive New Yorkers are more in sync with Hawkins than with Andrew Cuomo. And that’s likely true of many moderates as well.

Hawkins’ position papers contain more detail, and more food for thought, than those of all the other candidates combined.

And through them, he is painting a picture of the kind of New York many of us wish we could aspire to.

On Hawkins’ list of reforms: • A $15 minimum wage and “a living income above poverty level” for everyone who can’t work.

• A publicly funded single-payer health care system.

• An end to high-stakes testing, Common Core, and Race to the Top. Free tuition to SUNY and CUNY. • Tax credits for renters. A moratorium on home foreclosures. Requiring that all mortgages be refinanced at the homes’ current market value. Construction of new, high-quality mixed-income housing.

Expanded public transit and construction of intra-urban rail lines and high-speed longdistance rail lines.

• A ban on fracking. No new fossil-fuel infrastructure: no trains, trucks, or barges carrying shale oil through the state. No storage of natural gas, liquefied propane, or liquefied butane in the Seneca Lake salt caverns. Closure of the Indian Point nuclear power plant and phasing out of all the others.

• An end to “corporate welfare.”

Requiring the state to pay for services it mandates local governments to provide.

More progressive estate taxes and an increase in taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers, taking them back to the levels of the 1970’s, which, Hawkins says, would enable the state to reduce taxes for others and could fund investment in infrastructure and other initiatives.

• Publicly owned power and fuel companies. Universal access to high-speed 10 CITY OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

internet. Preservation of net neutrality and blockage of the Comcast-Time Warner merger.

• Restoration of funding for the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation.

Promotion of a “zero-waste solid waste policy,” including boosting reuse and recycling efforts.

Stronger wetland protection.

• Ending segregation in housing and schools. Establishing a state civil rights department. Banning solitary confinement, expanding educational opportunities for prisoners, and restoring voting rights for convicted felons.

• Requiring 12 weeks of paid family leave.

Subsidized high-quality child-care and elder care. Extension of labor rights to farmworkers.

Medicaid funding for abortions. Restoration of state funding for homeless-youth centers.

Public financing for campaigns.

There’s much, much more on Hawkins’ website (howiehawkins.org): progressive ideas on agriculture, women’s rights, criminal justice, immigrant rights, LGBT rights, ethics in government.

Hawkins has no chance at becoming governor. Sadly, few of his proposals stand any better chance at getting adopted.

That’s proof of the drift of the state and the country away from the progressive philosophies of the past, when measures like Social Security and national park protections could get adopted and Republicans like Theodore Roosevelt thought that huge companies had too much power.

There was a time when New York political campaigns included a robust discussion of progressive ideas. Now, only people like Hawkins are talking about them, and Hawkins is routinely ignored.

That’s an indication of the strength of the conservative movement. And Hawkins deserves support in his effort to push back.

On Rob Astorino

In his campaign for governor, Republican candidate Rob Astorino, the Westchester County executive, has focused strongly on New York’s economy and government corruption. A lifelong conservative, his platform is full of proposals the business community favors.

If he becomes governor, he says, he’ll issue a moratorium on new regulations, review every regulation currently in force, and repeal the Scaffold Law (which lets

Spend $50 on Clothing Get 10% OFF ENTIRE BILL

Cuomo continues from page 7

workers sue both contractors and property owners if they’re injured while working on scaffolds, hoists, and similar above-ground construction devices).

Astorino wants to reform the state’s Workers Compensation regulations, eliminate incorporation fees for new small businesses, “reduce or hold flat” state spending, make the property tax cap permanent, and eliminate the estate tax.

And yet the New York Business Council has endorsed Cuomo, not Astorino. (The Council credits Cuomo with four on-time budgets, caps on state spending, and an improved state business climate.)

Astorino has criticized the governor for his Start-Up NY initiative, which, he says, lets government pick the winners in economic development.

In education: Astorino wants to replace Common Core with “better standards and curriculum developed by New York educators.” (He’s also running on a Stop Common Core ballot line). He wants to increase vocational training; increase science, technology, engineering, and math programs in schools; increase school choice – possibly, as a “last option,” with vouchers for private or religious schools; and introduce foreign language instruction in elementary school.

He wants eight-year term limits for all elected state officials, an independent state ethics commission, and elimination of taxpayer-funded pensions for officials convicted of corruption.

He is strongly in favor of fracking. He would try to repeal the SAFE Act. He questions the need for medical marijuana.

And he opposes the Affordable Care Act. In endorsing him for Westchester county executive last year, the New York League of Conservation Voters cited his push for a mass-transit component in the new Tappan Zee Bridge plan and county charter amendments requiring Westchester County to buy hybrid and alternative-fuel vehicles, and his support for expanded recycling, tax exemptions for homeowners installing solar panels, county parks investments, and riverfront improvements.

It’s difficult to predict what he would do about abortion rights. According to a Capital New York online report, Astorino has said that he opposes state funding for abortions but he wouldn’t say whether he’d try to cut funding if he’s elected.

He personally opposes abortion except in the case of rape, incest, or threat to the mother’s life, but he has said he wouldn’t try to change existing state laws regarding abortion. He opposes strengthening state law by protecting abortion during the ninth month of pregnancy.

Running with Astorino as the candidate for lieutenant governor is Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss, the Republican Party’s first African-American candidate for a statewide office.

On Michael McDermott

Also on the ballot is Libertarian Party candidate Michael McDermott, a Long Island resident and a former real estate developer. McDermott hasn’t campaigned vigorously, and his website provides only thin information about his positions.

He’s against the Common Core, says that New York’s economy is a mess, wants to “invigorate small business,” and says that regulation is stifling business development.

He opposes the Affordable Care act, would end New York’s participation in it, and would and “look to the free market to offer the best solution” in health care.

He’s against the SAFE Act gun-control law, favors term limits, wants to reduce government spending, and says government should “adhere to the Constitution.” He wants to “restore rights and the freedom to not be spied on by the government” and wants to “keep government out of personal relationships.”

His running mate and Libertarian candidate for lieutenant governor, Rochesterian Christopher Edes, wants to legalize marijuana, lower the drinking age, and cut the personal income tax in half.

will continue to push for passage of those protections in his second term.

While we’re concerned about how Cuomo has dealt with fracking, and about his failure to adequately fund the Department of Environmental Conservation, he has had a reasonably good record on the environment. He called for reforming the brownfields program, although he could secure extension for only another year. And he and his administration have helped sound the alarm about climate change.

Climate change, in fact, has given Cuomo a chance to demonstrate another strength: his ability to respond well to a natural disaster, which he did when Superstorm Hurricane Sandy struck New York City.

And perhaps one of Andrew Cuomo’s most important strengths is one that is too often overlooked: he has not only managed significant accomplishments such as gun control and marriage equality, but he has done so in a large, complicated state. New York, as Cuomo pointed out recently, is extremely diverse. There are pockets of incredible wealth and high poverty. Its residents include multiple ethnic groups; passionate liberals and passionate conservatives; rural, suburban, and dense urban communities; Upstate and downstate.

State legislators represent small, often relatively homogenous populations. They can serve the narrow interests of their constituents. A governor, however, has to represent them all. Cuomo has done that while pushing the state in the right direction.

That’s more than enough reason to endorse him for another term.

His candidate for lieutenant governor is former Representative Kathy Hochul, who represented the Buffalo area well in her brief service from 2011 to 2013.

Panel discussion on the ACA

The Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency will hold a panel discussion on the Affordable Care Act from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Friday, October 17. The panel will discuss what it has been like for the uninsured to get insurance, how the ACA has reduced the number of uninsured, and legal issues concerning the ACA. The event will be held at 1150 University Avenue.

ROC the Future progress report

The Rochester Business Journal will present “ROC the Future State of the Children Address” from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Friday, October 17. This event looks at the progress and challenges regarding caring for Rochester’s 12 CITY OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

children. County Executive Maggie Brooks; Mayor Lovely Warren; Peter Carpino, president of United Way; and Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas are among the speakers. The event is part of the RBJ Power Breakfast Series, and it will be held at the Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside, 120 East Main Street. Tickets are $45 per person. Information: 546-8303.

Entrepreneurial musings by ice cream mogul

Rochester Institute of Technology will host a lecture by Jerry Greenfield at 3 p.m. on Friday, October 17. Greenfield is one of the founders of Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream. His lecture, “An Afternoon of Entrepreneurial Spirit, Social Responsibility, and Radical Business Philosophy,” will tell the story of how he and his partner turned an ice cream parlor in Vermont

into a major business. The event will be held in the Ingle Auditorium. Tickets: students, $5; RIT parents and guests, $15. Information: 475-2199.

Discussing pros and cons of redistricting proposition

The League of Women Voters will present the forum, “Proposed NYS Constitutional Amendment on Redistricting: Will It Kill Gerrymander? You Decide!” at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 20. The LWV supports voting yes on the proposed amendment, which would create a 10-member commission to redraw electoral lines and create criteria that would curtail party dominance in districts. But there are some questions about the proposed amendment, which the LWV says will be addressed in a fair and balanced way. The event will be held at First Unitarian Church of Rochester, 220 South Winton Road.

Dining requested medium-rare, something that too many restaurants have trouble doing. Though it wasn’t the most flavorful steak, part of this is due to the cut, which wasn’t as robust as cuts like a rib-eye or New York strip. The steak was plated traditionally with carrots, peas, onions, and a Madeira-wine infused jus — but instead of including mashed potatoes, there’s a nice twist in swapping potatoes for a buttery and creamy polenta.

You might not need a tie to eat at Next Door, but the restaurant serves sophisticated dishes like (left) the Organic Tomato Salad with cherry tomato, mozzarella espuma, broken balsamic vinaigrette, and baguette tuile; and (right) Butterscotch Crème Brulee with dark chocolate mousse, cocoa-nib, marcona almonds, chocolate butter scotch cookie.

I was excited to try Next Door when it opened in late-2009. But on my visits over the course of its first year, I was disappointed.

Though it had plush decor and an attentive wait staff, I found Next Door’s food disappointing, particularly compared to its forerunner, Tastings. I hadn’t been back until recently. If you’ve been dining at Next Door recently, you know what I’ve learned: the food is fresh, flavorful, and lively.

With its atmosphere and wait staff, Next Door stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Rochester’s better, upscale restaurants. And it is upscale, even if you don’t have to wear a coat and tie. There is valet parking, a 10-page wine selection, and modernist cuisine flourishes

via foams, powders, and sous-vide cooking.

Dinner entrees range from $16 to $42, with the majority priced between $20 and $30.

The restaurant’s design reinforces this higher-end atmosphere. Cushy round banquettes, complete with throw pillows, and marble-style tables line the edge of the dining room. Directly opposite these is the open kitchen and a sleek sushi bar, shiny with burnished metal and loaded with seating. There is also the private bar and party rooms, including a lounge-style “red room” and a test kitchen kitted out with its own cooking station.

The restaurant has always offered a mix of high and low dishes with American, European, and Asian influences. A hefty burger ($16) and truffle mac n’ cheese ($12) sit on the menu next to sushi rolls ($8-$17) and soy-glazed duck breast ($31). Yet the menu has increased its elegance over the years.

Gone are the pizza offerings (sister restaurant Amore offers those in spades); now available is a four-course tasting menu ($49) with optional wine pairings ($20).

The tasting menu I sampled consisted of two

choices for each course (a salad, light appetizer,

entrée, and dessert). I started with the Wegmans Organic Farm Tomato salad, a refined rendering of a tomato and cucumbers. The vegetables were full of end-of-the-season flavor and color: bright, red, and juicy tomatoes and crisp, curling shavings of cool cucumbers. These were layered with a simple vinaigrette, chiffonade-cut and licorice flavored basil, and light and crunchy baguette tuiles. Puffs of mozzarella espuma, a type of culinary foam, tasted clean and milky, with a texture between sour cream and whipped yogurt. (Unlike other items I ordered from the tasting menu, this salad is not listed on the standard dinner menu.)

Foam made another appearance in the summer corn soup ($10 if not part of the tasting menu). A magenta-colored tomato and lavender foam provided an acidic palate cleanser for the silky and sweet corn soup. Tucked into the soup were mushrooms and purple Peruvian potatoes, the size of a bubble tea’s black tapioca pearls. The soup’s presentation was lovely: it was poured over the vegetables table-side into a dome-shaped ceramic bowl. The tomato lavender foam floats then on top of the soup, forming a kind of yellow and pink yin-yang.

The filet tournedos ($34 if not part of the tasting menu) were tender and cooked to the

The butterscotch crème brûlée ($9 if not part of the tasting menu), with its silky texture, deep caramelized flavor, and the tiniest hint of salt, is phenomenal. It’s a pleasure to break through the brittle sugar crust, plunge a spoon into the soft custard underneath, and feel the contrast of textures in your mouth. On the side was a dollop of dark chocolate mousse, dotted with chocolate covered cacao nibs; their combined texture echoed that of the crème brûlée. It’s also the perfect portion of mousse to taste and indulge in deep chocolate richness — any more, and it would be cocoa overkill.

In response to customer feedback, Next Door began offering a lunch menu in spring 2013. In the blue crab and avocado salad ($19), a generous serving of shredded crab meat was heaped on top of mixed greens tossed with a light berry vinaigrette; there are also plump raspberries and blackberries, and hunks of ripe avocado.

The crab was sweet and fresh, with a light lemon dressing pairing nicely with the fruit. The avocado was also tasty, though a little out of place with the berries.

The peanut butter pie ($10) was a 4-inch round tart with a chocolate cookie crust.

The filling was creamy and nutty with a restrained sweetness; the crust is a touch dry but that’s offset by the moist filling. There’s a dusting of peanut powder on the plate and a peanutty froth that adds a bit more interest.

It’s exactly what you might expect from this kind of dessert at this kind of restaurant — until it wasn’t. Accompanying the pie was what the menu called a “flexible ganache:” a long, thick, bendable, chocolate confection squared off on the sides like a two-by-four.

Stretching from one end of the plate to the other, its inclusion on the plate wasn’t pretty, nor did its light chocolate flavor and gelatinous texture add to the dessert. It seemed to be an unusual misstep.

With well-executed food, hospitable wait staff and attractive surroundings, it won’t take me another four years before I visit Next Door again.

Whether she’s parked behind a piano or strapped to a guitar, there’s no mistaking Amanda Ashley’s vocal flexibility and tone. But on her new CD, “Metamorphosis,” and in the trio format, Ashley gets to explore a series of more hushed dynamics. The drama I associate with her solo work is spread more evenly with the rest of her trio. She still sings her head off on stand out tracks like “Normal,” and tickles the ivories with maximum quirk on “Opposite Day,” while still allowing for some string drenched subtlety on “Goodbye New York.” An all-around solid platter from this hard working gal.

“Mists: Charles Ives For Jazz Orchestra” PLANET ARTS RECORDINGS Planetarts.org

Considered a radical composer in his time, the early-20th century, Charles Ives was known to have quoted a ragtime tune in his 1906 piece, “Central Park In The Dark.” But what would he make of “Mists: Charles Ives For Jazz Orchestra,” the new project brilliantly arranged by Jack Cooper? We’ll never know his opinion, but I love it.

Ives’ music lends itself beautifully to jazz treatments and the big band format. Just listen to Alex Wintz’ burning guitar solo followed by Randy Ingram’s McCoy Tyner-like piano foray on “Tom Sails Away.” In both cases, wonderful horn lines slide in and out, nicely enveloping the soloists.

Cooper clearly knows this music and milks it for all it’s worth.

There are too many musicians to list here but special mention goes to Luis Bonilla whose trombone dances through a gorgeous arrangement of “At The River,” Terell Stafford whose trumpet soars to the stratosphere on “The Cage” and Vince Cherico who holds everything together on percussion.

Music We all still surprise each other. We’ve played together for years but now we’re back in the groove rehearsing and writing. Writing seems to be easier than it used to be. Before, we used rehearsals just to keep stuff tight. Now we use whole rehearsals to write new material.

How has the band changed?

Wilfeard: Personally, I’m holding back. I’m not

trying to be John Entwistle anymore. I think my playing is more in the pocket now.

Koch: Things change, they evolve obviously.

We’re not as loud. We were laughing at an old picture recently; Noel had an Ampeg 8 x 10 cabinet, Ryan had a Marshall half-stack, and I was playing a big kit. We went full-force.

Wilfeard: And there was a time where I was going to buy a second cabinet.

How were you going to move it?

Wilfeard: I know. I was driving a ‘94 Saturn. I

used to use the one I had in my apartment as a coffee table.

But musically, how has the band changed?

Koch: There will always be a psychedelic St. Phillip's Escalator's Zachary Koch, Ryan Moore, and Noel Wilfeard are back, but still can't write a pop song. PHOTO PROVIDED

Nowhere but up St. Phillip’s Escalator LISTEN AT STPHILLIPSESCALATOR.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

It’s been eight years since City Newspaper first sat down to talk with Rochester’s heavy blues-garage rock trio, St. Phillip’s Escalator.

They were kids then, barely in their 20’s and their music was unfettered from any pretense or calculated effort. It was big; it was loud; it was all theirs. Taking a page from heavy history penned by the likes of Blue Cheer, The Sonics, and even MC5, St. Phillip’s Escalator came roaring out of the gate with its 2006 Chesterfield King-produced release “Endless Trip.” The record was a most excellent heaping helping of heavy blues with dashes of trippy psychedelia done with mind-blowing authenticity. Nothing could stop St. Phillip’s Escalator except St. Phillip’s Escalator.

The band insists it never broke up and just continued to work at a slower pace when guitarist Ryan Moore got a gig with Time Magazine and split for New York City, leaving bassist Noel Wilfeard and drummer Zachary Koch in Rochester. The band continued to write together online between infrequent rehearsals, slowly amassing material for a 16 CITY 0CTOBER 15-21, 2014

follow up to “Endless Trip” and playing shows in New York City.

Flash forward: Moore recently moved back to town and the band is out of hibernation and hitting on all eight. With live rehearsals, shows, and the imminent release of “Elevation” due out sometime this winter, there’s no need to use the stairs any more. The Escalator is back, baby.

The trio is a little older now (some even sporting beards) and the music coming out of them is a phenomenal sonic blast. With all three members living in the 585, there will undoubtedly be an increase in local shows. There’s nowhere to go but up.

Wilfeard and Koch sat down with City to discuss the heavy blues, how the band has changed, and how they couldn’t write a pop song if they tried. An edited transcript follows.

City: When Ryan moved away to New York City in 2008 did you think it was over?

Zachary Koch: We worried about that for a

minute, and a lot of people thought that too.

But no, not really. We’re survivors.

Noel Wilfeard: We just kept setting up shows and playing. Then I moved to New York City and we kept bouncing back and forth.

How did you make it work?

Koch: So we ended up renting a space down

there and sending ideas back and forth online.

We just never stopped playing.

Wilfeard: But it wasn’t the same as playing in the same room.

Do you think if the band hadn’t split geographically that maybe you’d be further along?

Koch: That’s a good question. We’ve been

playing together since we were 13-14 years old.

We’re best friends, kinda like a family. And like any family we went through a tumultuous couple years there, where we weren’t playing as much. But we still stuck together and managed to write enough material for a new record.

I don’t know, maybe if we lived in the same city, we wouldn’t have been as far along. Ryan living in New York actually opened up some opportunities to play more. We got to play with Mark Lindsay and got in with Jon Weiss and just got more opportunities to play New York, which is always fun.

So SPE is back, back together in Rochester.

How back is it? Back with a vengeance?

Koch: Back with relief. We get to play together

more often. Those years that Ryan was in New York, we hadn’t been in the same room to play more than two or three times a year.

Wilfeard: Now it’s such a fluid working thing.

undertone, but I think we’ve become heavier, darker sounding. We’ve learned that what we really are is a live band and that’s something you can’t record separately.

You’ve tried?

Wilfeard: I was recording the bass parts alone

and I could hear Zach’s drums, but I couldn’t feel them.

So what’s the plan for St. Phillip’s future?

Koch: Right now we’re treating it as if we’re

starting off at square one again, though we have a pretty good fan base. The first time around we had a great record.

It’s like your audience is rediscovering you.

Koch: It was like, “Oh, you guys are still

playing?” And we were like, “We never stopped.” It’s nice to have a presence again.

As the band revisits and reinvents, what’s something you won’t ever do?

Wilfeard: Any song that has a breakdown

where everyone is clapping in front of the stage. I f***ing hate that.

Koch: And f*** writing a pop song just for the sake of writing a pop song.

I bet you could write a great pop tune.

Koch: I don’t think we could if we wanted to.

OK then, what’s something you’d like to do?

Wilfeard: I’d love to do a James Bond-style

song with a full orchestra; bring the whole RPO in and play it at Monty’s.

The Blues Project ft. Gordon Munding and friends. The

You would only need to listen to singer-songwriter Lucy Cioffi’s songs once or twice to know that her music is a hidden gem still waiting to be discovered. When I heard the opening moments of “Foreign Places,” with its synth-infused guitar jangle and lilt, I was hooked. After working as a surfing instructor in New Zealand, UK-born Cioffi released several singles and adopted her childhood nickname, lapin (French for rabbit), thus the moniker Little Lapin. The tunes invoke an indie alt-folk vibe while Cioffi’s voice is slightly reminiscent of Sinead O’Connor. Little Lapin is touring with guitarist Alex Hill; the acoustic duo’s month-long North American tour kicked off in Hollywood and includes Rochester among its U.S. dates.

FOLK | APPLESEED COLLECTIVE

METALCORE | UNEARTH

Filled with plenty of twangy guitar and rounded out with banjo, double bass, and washboard percussion, The Appleseed Collective brings the energy with its wide range of sounds. Formed in 2010 and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the five-piece band is an eclectic mix of dixieland, ragtime, bluegrass, and jazz, topped off by a pleasing blend of harmonies and tones from vocalists Andrew Brown and Katie Lee. This is a sonic experience that satisfies the ear. The Appleseed Collective released its debut album “Baby to Beast” in 2012, and is preparing to release its second studio album, “Young Love,” this coming winter.

Unearth has some impressive staying power in a genre that’s notorious for its revolving door. The Massachusetts-based metalcore band formed in 1998, right as that new wave of American heavy metal was starting to take hold — alongside bands like Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, and Trivium — and have stayed fairly consistent across five studio albums of bashing machine gun drums, and chugging heavy, melodic riffs. On October 28, Unearth will release its sixth studio album, “Watchers of Rule,” and the debut single, “The Swarm,” shows the band still has that same unwavering, in-your-face style after all these years.

ROCK | GRINGO STAR

Within the trend of trying to recapture the sounds of the 60’s British Invasion, Gringo Star manages to stand out among the others trying to cop the essence of garage rock’s glory days. With its experimental style that carries garage, psychedelic, and surf sounds, the band conjures memories of everyone from the Fab Four — which you should expect, given the name — to The Animals and The Kinks. But the sounds may be reminiscent of older times but the music is the band’s own, and listening to “Long Time Gone,” the group’s fourth studio album, it’s interesting to think just how high the ceiling goes for Gringo Star.

Classical A new conductor and a revered singer Rochester Chamber Orchestra FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT ROCHESTERCHAMBERORCHESTRA.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

The mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani, who taught at the Eastman School of Music and lived in Rochester for many years, died a quarter-century ago. Her influence as a teacher, a proponent of new music, and simply as a great vocal artist, is still strongly felt — or should be. The Rochester Chamber Orchestra’s first concert of the 2014-15 season was a tribute to this great artist.

DeGaetani was an amazingly versatile singer: her recordings include everything from German medieval songs to Cole Porter and numerous 1970’s and 1980’s premieres, with just about everything in between. In paying tribute to her, there is a lot to choose from. The concert, on Sunday, October 12, at Hochstein Performance Hall, also marked the debut of the RCO’s new artistic director, Gerard Floriano. It was a strong debut: he programmed this concert imaginatively, and directed it solidly.

The program began with Haydn’s Symphony No. 89, apparently one of DeGaetani’s favorites — an interesting choice, as it is almost never performed.

In history, the piece was stuck between its brilliant predecessors, the “Paris” Symphonies, and the even more brilliant “London” symphonies that followed. But, being Haydn, No. 89 is a good-humored, superlatively crafted work well-worth hearing, particularly in a performance as spirited and elegant as it received from the RCO. Floriano gave a nice lift to the dance rhythms, and the small ensemble ensured that every musical detail sounded clearly.

DeGaetani’s championing of women composers led to the choice of two very different pieces from the past. Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is probably best-known for her work as a collector of American folk songs and as Pete Seeger’s stepmother. In the 1920’s and 1930’s she was one of our leading “modernist” composers, as well as a leading woman composer; from the perspective of 2014, I would say she was a leading American composer, period. Her music is atonal, but often has a yearning, tragic quality 20 CITY OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

that reminds me of Alban Berg’s work. It is also rigorously constructed and compact: a two-minute song by Ruth Crawford Seeger is as full of varied emotion as an opera, as this work proved.

DeGaetani recorded Crawford Seeger’s “Three Songs to Texts by Carl Sandburg” on her “Songs of America” album, and Nancy Allen Lundy sang them terrifically on Sunday. Her light, clear soprano is quite unlike DeGaetani’s voice in timbre, but Lundy’s Gerard Floriano, the Rochester Chamber Orchestra’s new artistic director, ability to communicate conducted the group during its 2014-15 season opener, Sunday evening.

The RCO paid tribute to mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani. PHOTO PROVIDED emotion in music — even somewhat thorny (and, I think, the very first orchestral music — is very much songs, decades before Mahler). I’m like DeGaetani. Lundy negotiated Crawford not sure that summer nights are ever Seeger’s constantly shifting moods and mentioned in these songs, but that title pitches with skill and a sense of commitment suits their relaxed, perfumed, romantic (another quality Jan DeGaetani had in atmosphere perfectly. spades).

THEATER | “TRIQUETRA”

“Triquetra” is the Gaelic word for a Trinity knot, so it is an appropriate name for the Irish Players’ next offering, a program of three one-act plays in three different styles by three important figures in the Irish theatrical renaissance of the 20th century. John Millington Synge’s “In the Shadow of the Glen” is poetic and romantic; Padriac Colum’s “The Betrayal” is political and realistic; and Lennox Robinson’s “Crabbed Youth and Age” is a drawing-room comedy about the strained relations between three sisters (probably more fun than Chekhov’s) and their mother. All three playwrights display that most endearing of Irish traits: the gift of the gab.

Irish Players of Rochester present “Triquetra: An Evening of Classical Irish Theater” on Friday, October 17, through Sunday, October 19, and Thursday, October 23, through Saturday, October 25, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. $9-$19. muccc.org; rochestercommunityplayers.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND Steadfast Tattoo. 319-4901. tattoosteadfast.com.

Comedy LECTURE | AN EVENING WITH KATHRINE SWITZER

A few months ago, I saw a series of vintage images of a young woman running in a marathon. In one image, the disgruntled race director was laying hands on her, attempting to push and pull her off course; in another frame, a different man was slamming his own body into the first man so that the runner could proceed, unmolested. The year was 1967 and the woman was 20-year-old Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon. The other man was a fellow marathoner and Switzer’s boyfriend at the time, who wasn’t threatened by the thought of a woman achieving a challenge.

Women were officially allowed in road races in 1971, thanks to the efforts of Switzer and others. Today, Switzer is an author, an award-winning television commentator, a National Women’s Hall of Fame inductee, and is still recognized as a leader in the running world. On Sunday, October 19, at 6:30 p.m., Switzer will speak at Auburn High School auditorium (250 Lake Avenue, Auburn). Her talk will include a special appearance by marathon runner, author, and scholar Roger Robinson. Tickets are $15 or $10 for seniors and students, and available at Seymour Library.

THEATER | “VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM”

How’s that for a title? A satirical play written by drag performer Charles Busch in 1984, “Vampire Lesbians of Sodom” follows the friendship — and frequent feuds — of two immortal vampire lesbians as they survive the fall of the city of Sodom, and find their way to present-day Las Vegas. The Forum Players Theatre Ensemble will produce the play at Genesee Community College Thursday, October 16, through Sunday, October 19.

“Vampire Lesbians of Sodom” will show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 16, through Saturday, October 18, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 19, in the Stuart Steiner Theatre on the GCC Batavia Campus, One College Road, Batavia. $3-$8.

Shawnee Hill’s devil-themed diptych for 1975 Gallery’s “Devil’s in the Details” anniversary group show.

PHOTO PROVIDED

Six-six-six deep “Devil’s in the Details” THROUGH SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1 1975 GALLERY, 89 CHARLOTTE STREET WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY: 1 P.M. TO 8 P.M.; SATURDAY-SUNDAY: 12 P.M. TO 5 P.M. 466-4278 | 1975ISH.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

There are many ways the concept of the devil has been depicted throughout time and within popular culture: the cloven-hoofed, goat-faced Baphomet; the seductive, fallen angel; the serpent; the feminine temptress; or with an indirect presence, through possession.

Erich Lehman, who is celebrating the sixth anniversary of his 1975 Gallery with a devilthemed group art show, links both Halloween and art by the imagination and creativity involved in each.

“My favorite time of year is Halloween,” says Lehman, who has a well-known penchant for celebrating the gallery’s anniversaries with dark themes. Previous anni shows have included “By the Pale Moonlight” and “Volo Calvariam,” which translates from Latin to “I want your skull.”

The former was ghost- and monster-themed, and the latter came with the requirement that all submitted artworks must contain a skull within the imagery.

For these anniversary invitational exhibitions, Lehman says he tries to encourage the artists to have fun. “This is not necessarily a show to be serious about,” he says. “We’re serious all the time, because our lives are serious and stressful. With the 24 CITY OCTOBER 15-21, 2014

Halloween show, I just always want it to be fun. About breaking out of your boundaries, doing work you don’t normally do, but in your style.” Constraints can make artists flex, and that’s exactly the point.

With more than 50 artists involved, there is plenty of diversity in interpretation of the theme. Though there are plenty of satanic figures, not all works are exclusively devil oriented — some artists went with culturallyassociated subject matter, such as witchy women, “satanic” animals, pentagrams, and all manner of shadowy accouterments.

In addition to some mainstays, “Devil’s in the Details,” includes a few new-to-1975 artists. Todd Stahl, who is known for focusing on musicians in his work, created an assemblage portrait piece featuring Robert Johnson, who learned to play guitar from the devil himself, as the story goes.

This is the first show for young illustrator Jordyn Carias, whose mixed-media work, “Swallow,” has the world balanced on the tongue of a red-faced space devil.

Two members of FUA Krew are also new to 1975 Gallery. Bones created “O Brother,” a horned and booted beastie in his typical gory-glory style, and Nova’s “Pentagram 1” is all abstracted colorful geometry and a classic triple-six. Lehman says he’s been a fan of their work, and interested in sharing what they do with other audiences.

“One thing that’s near and dear to my heart is the “Dearly Beloved” piece by Josh Gomby,” says Lehman. “He’s a Washington, D.C.-based designer, and he’s the guy who

dared me to start 1975.” Not only is this the first time Gomby has been able to put a piece into any of the shows, it’s the first time he was able to see 1975 in person (he was in town for the opening).

Kari Roberts Petsche’s watercolor, “Gold Digger,” is a stunning and vibrant work featuring a ghostly woman presiding over an Illuminati-esque, reptilian eye, and a serpentine, shrouded woman curled around a pile of bones and decay. Scot LeFavor’s vintage sign-inspired piece, “You vs Yourself,” is hilarious advertisement for the show, featuring an epic fight to the death between your shoulder-dwelling devil and angel.

Lehman says that in the beginning, he would have been surprised to know the gallery endeavor would last even a year. “It always is still a bit of a shock that I’ve made it this far,” he says. 1975 Gallery has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a gallery-in-residence in Surface Salon on South Avenue, in which Lehman promoted a handful of local, emerging artists.

Through the years, Lehman has worked

with more than 160 artists, with many returning to show in multiple group exhibitions. And this number doesn’t count art shows that the gallery has hosted for other organizations — which brings the number of artists to around 200. Roughly three-fourths to two-thirds of this total has been local artists, depending on whether or not you count students and working artists who have since moved away from Rochester. 1975 has shown high school students’ first exhibitions, and hosted young artists who have made their first professional sales through the gallery.

Lehman says he’s always had two goals: to build a young collectors scene in Rochester by lessening trepidation regarding original collecting art, and fostering the fledgling professional artists as they start navigating this world. Lehman wants to help artists set a bar for how they should be treated, and how they should interact with people as professionals.

The future is looking bright for this labor of love: 1975’s schedule is booked through July, and will feature solo shows for the original players, Sarah C. Rutherford, Lea Rizzo, and Adam Francey, as well as a School of American Crafts all-glass show, featuring work from everyone in the program, including professors.

After that, some plans are in the works for national and international collaboration, with shows co-curated by artists and organizers in multiple cities, Lehman says.

LITERATURE | AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS

Late last year, author David Sedaris contributed an essay to The New Yorker — and would later turn it into a segment for the radio program “This American Life” — about the suicide of his sister a year before, and how his family reacted, and interacted during a pre-planned beach vacation soon after. The story, “Now We Are Five,” is intensely personal, emotional, and even hilarious at times — and made even more poignant when heard told by Sedaris himself on the radio. But above all else, it’s a brave story; it’s plain to see that Sedaris is willing to share his soul completely with his readers.

“Now We Are Five” is an exemplary story, but for many familiar with Sedaris’ work, it won’t be out of the ordinary. The writer and humorist has written seven essay collections (five of which became New York Times bestsellers), each as deeply personal and funny as the next, including “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” “Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim,” and his latest, “Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls.” Sedaris — a regular contributor to “The New Yorker” and “This American Life” — holds nothing back in his writing; his heart and mind is wide open, from stories of his childhood in North Carolina to his relationship with his longtime partner, Hugh. But they’re always delivered in a thoughtful, entertaining way.

Writers & Books will host David Sedaris for an evening of stories, a Q&A, and a book signing, on Sunday, October 19, at Kodak Center for Performing Arts, 200 West Ridge Road. 8 p.m. $42. 473-2590 x107; wab.org; davidsedarisbooks.com.

SPECIAL EVENT | AN EVENING WITH JASON ALEXANDER

SPECIAL EVENT | PUMPKINPALOOZA

THEATER | “CURTAINS”

Before he went on to portray the neurotic George Costanza for nine seasons of “Seinfeld,” Jason Alexander was already a well-regarded stage performer. He made his Broadway debut in the Stephen Sondheim musical, “Merrily We Roll Along,” and went on to portray Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” and Pseudolus in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” — and in 1989, Alexander won a Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his performance in “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway.” Yadda, yadda; following “Seinfeld’s” end in 1998, Alexander pursued multiple projects on TV and film, and returned to the stage in 2003 for the Los Angeles production of “The Producers.” The performer has since been busy with numerous projects, from stand-up comedy to film directing and operating as artistic director of Los Angeles’ Reprise Theatre Company (which closed in 2013).

Pumpkin muffins and lattes are good and all, but they are no PumpkinPalooza. The yearly event held in Lyons is back promises to be better than ever with new and different events. Show off your artistic side in Village Square at the annual Pumpkin Carving on Thursday, October 16, at 6 p.m.

This will be followed on Friday, October 17, with an antique show and pre-sale, where you can peruse old-time goodies and sip on some wine. The sale rolls over to the following day as well. On that day, PumpkinPalooza will be at its most activity, with a farmers market, 5K race, a costume parade and, of course, a pumpkin race.

“Curtains” is that rarest of theater rarities: a musical whodunit, created by a quartet of blue-chip Broadway names: book

by Peter Stone (“1776”) and Rupert Holmes (“The Mystery of Edwin Drood”), and score by John Kander and Fred Ebb (“Cabaret,” “Chicago,” Zorbá”, and many, many more). This 2007 show is actually half whodunit and half good old-fashioned musical: it is set in 1959, during the Boston tryout of a musical called “Robbin’ Hood.” When the show’s conspicuously untalented leading lady is found dead, the show’s cast and creators are all suspects: the theater is shut down by a cop, who is a musical theater fan himself, until the murderer is caught — of course, after a lot of red herring and theatrical in-jokes. David Hyde Pierce won a Tony Award for playing the detective in the original production, which also starred Rochester’s John Bolton as a nasty theater critic (do they really have those?) Pittsford Musicals is giving “Curtains” its first local showing, and has assembled a large, multi-talented cast for this new good old-fashioned whodunit musical.

On Friday, October 17, Alexander will kick off the new “Eastman Presents” series with an evening of music, comedy, and improv at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, 60 Gibbs Street.

You can’t go home again “The Judge”

(R), DIRECTED BY DAVID DOBKIN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

Although in real life as we call it, most trials, even criminal trials, are deadly dull affairs, with long, tedious interrogations of witnesses, repeated inquiries about minor points, quibbles over legal minutiae, and often incomprehensible discussions of scientific or technical matters, much of it guaranteed to confuse or anaesthetize jurors. On the stage and screen, however, trials provide genuine entertainment,

capitalizing on the restricted setting, itself much like a theater, the engaging dialectic of prosecution and defense, and of course the tension of an eagerly awaited verdict.

While it also adds yet another chapter to the grand book of cinematic jurisprudence, “The Judge” examines a number of other stories and issues only indirectly connected to its familiar courtroom sequences. Its central story of a veteran judge accused of murder opens up other stories, making the defense of the judge the means of introducing the history of a troubled family, and in particular revealing the special tensions between a father and a son.

Robert Downey Jr. plays Hank Palmer, a hotshot Chicago criminal attorney with the properly cynical attitude of a man who realizes the guilt of his clients; if they were innocent, he says, they couldn’t afford him. Informed in the middle of a trial that his mother has died, he returns to his hometown of Carlinville, Indiana, a place he was delighted to escape. His

return, however, entangles him in a number of emotional problems, most of them revolving around his relationship with his father Joseph (Robert Duvall), the judge of the title.

For reasons that emerge later in the film, Hank’s estrangement from his family derives from his bitter resentment of his cold, harsh father. He learns that even as an adult a return to a parental home becomes a reliving of the past, a reversion to something uncomfortably like childhood all over again. He and his father, a martinet both at home and in the courtroom, argue angrily, expressing hatred and disappointment in the harshest terms.

Hank also picks up other threads from his past,

renewing his relationship with his older brother Glen (Vincent D’Onofrio), a once promising ballplayer, and his developmentally disabled young brother Dale (Jeremy Strong), a sweet innocent who films everything with his 8mm camera. He meets his old girlfriend Samantha (Vera Farmiga), who reminds him not only of their lost love but also of his misdeeds and the personal inadequacies that explain something of his present predicament.

In a town that appears to exceed its quota of crude yokels, he glibly holds his own against a gaggle of sullen brutes, dopey thugs reminiscent of the high school bullies of his youth.

The story reaches its climax when the judge, suffering from terminal cancer, is accused of murder in a hit-and-run accident, and Hank

The quest for truth and love “Kill the Messenger” (R), DIRECTED BY MICHAEL CUESTA NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA

“The Age of Love” (NR), DIRECTED BY STEVEN LORING SCREENS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, AT 2 P.M. AND 6:30 P.M. AT THE LITTLE A Q&A WITH THE FILM’S DIRECTOR WILL FOLLOW BOTH SCREENINGS [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

finds it necessary to defend him. Mixing humor and sadness like the film itself, the trial reveals some wonderfully perceptive and blithely cynical views of juries, witnesses, and the process of justice itself. Working with a local incompetent who practices law from his antique shop, Hank displays a surprising and brilliantly accurate method of selecting just the kind of jurors suitable for his purposes.

The contrast between the two major characters and the actors who portray them enlivens the film considerably, with the flip, cynical, fast-talking Downey pitted against the firm, vain, idealistic judge. Robert Duvall convincingly plays a recalcitrant man who refuses to admit weakness or error in himself or allow it in his sons. The scenes where Downey cares for him during a sudden health crisis ring absolutely true, as authentic a picture of physical debility one is ever likely to see on the screen.

The scriptwriters apparently never quite figured out how to end their movie, so they end it a couple of times in a couple of ways, not all of them entirely satisfactory. Although its several stories provide quite a few moments of humor, something Downey handles well, they also often sink into some not terribly pleasing sentimentality; at the same time, oddly, some other narrative threads never quite reach their proper conclusion. But the courtroom sequences work, Carlinville, Indiana, looks all too real, and the varied cast of performers works smoothly and easily together.

From “All the President’s Men” to “Good Night and Good Luck,” there have been any number of films devoted to telling the true-life tales of the journalists devoted to uncovering stories of corruption, abuse of power, and hidden scandals. The involving but formulaic “Kill the Messenger” continues in that tradition, focusing on Gary Webb (Jeremy Renner), an investigative reporter for the San Jose Mercury newspaper, who in the mid-90’s stumbled across a connection between the CIA and the influx of crack cocaine in America. However, the film deviates from the standard formula by devoting as much time to Webb’s investigation as it does to the tragic fallout from his journalistic crusade.

While working on a story about the government seizing the property of drug dealers who have yet to be convicted, Webb

is approached by the comely Coral (Paz Vega), girlfriend of one of those very drug dealers, who bats her eyes and conveniently offers him grand jury documents which seem to prove that a big-time cocaine dealer is actually working for the U.S. government.

Further digging leads him to discovering a monumental plot involving the government using the sale of drugs in America to fund the Nicaraguan Contra rebels fighting against communism in their country after congress had refused to finance their war.

Typically, this type of film ends in triumph, with the publishing of an article that blows the doors off a massive story, exposing corruption and setting the stage for justice to be done. Instead, the spotlight is turned on Webb himself, as holes are poked in his story and his credibility called into question. Outside forces systematically shut Webb down until he’s completely discredited and his livelihood all but destroyed — leading to the film’s not-sosubtle title. Most intriguingly, the film implies that wounded pride on the part of other newspapers played a large role in the journalist’s fate, as they contributed heavily to Webb’s fall from grace.

Especially in its first half, the script (credited to Peter Landesman and based on a book by Nick Schou, as well as Webb’s own book, “Dark Alliance”) sticks to formula, but director Michael Cuesta always keeps things compelling as we follow the investigation, uncovering the plot along with Webb and keeping us invested in his fate. This is a story that’s clearly worth telling, but the reliance on domestic drama is disappointing — how many times must we see the same old subplot in which a wife demands that her husband stop his noble pursuit because of what it’s putting their family through.

Rosemarie DeWitt valiantly tries to do what she can with the wan material she’s given, but dramatic embellishments like this make one wish for a documentary covering the same subject. Still, Renner gives a great performance.

Recently, the actor has appeared largely in action blockbusters like “The Avengers” and “The Bourne Legacy,” but with a real character to sink his teeth into, he delivers his best performance since his Oscarnominated turn in “The Hurt Locker.”

“Kill the Messenger” functions foremost as another outrage-inducing reminder of the more sinister reasons that true journalism is all but extinct in this country, though whether those reasons are any less scary and depressing than simple journalistic laziness is up for debate.

In the charming locally-produced docu-

mentary “The Age of Love,” filmmaker Steven Loring follows the first-of-its-kind senior speed-dating event, held right here in Rochester. Meant exclusively for singles aged 70 to 90, the event allows 30 seniors (15 women and 15 men) to get a second chance at finding love. It’s admittedly a somewhat cutesy sounding premise, but the film works so well because of the sense that Loring is determined to treat his subjects with the dignity they deserve.

Throughout the film, we meet several of the men and women participating in the event, following them through the excited early anticipation, the speeddating event itself, and then tagging along for (a portion) of the dates that result. A few of the seniors are looking for love, but most are extremely pragmatic about what they’re hoping to find at the event. Many of these men and women have lost spouses over the years, either through divorce or death, and they’ve got no expectations of meeting another love of their lives. What they’re looking to find is the same thing any of us are: a companion to sit by our side and avoid facing the process of aging alone.

Contrary to what society constantly seems to tell us, growing older doesn’t mean that we cease to have the same desires as anyone else, and it’s heartening to see “The Age of Love” take those desires seriously.

Prudential Discover Real Estate

Appearing deceptively petite at first glance, 199 Aberdeen Street is, in fact, a very spacious 2,650 square feet and possesses a rare commodity—five bedrooms. This 1910 stucco home is located in the heart of the Sibley Tract in the 19th Ward and is brimming over with the details one expects in this neighborhood: builtin cupboards and cabinets, gleaming hardwood flooring, and leaded-glass doors and windows.

The front door of the house is sheltered by an arch supported with brackets. The archand-bracket motif is repeated in the second floor windows and window box. The entrance opens into a foyer with a tile floor and a coat closet. A leaded-glass door opens into the front hall.

To your right is the living room. The focal point is a decorative mantel, faced with marble.

Three large windows overlooking the street bring in abundant light, and a built-in bookcase is to the left of the fireplace.

To the left of the center hallway is the dining room, with leaded-glass French doors leading to the all-season sun porch and two leaded-glass windows adding a bright touch to the room. A pass-through to the kitchen from the dining room increases the ease of entertaining. The downstairs also has two bedrooms and a full bath. These rooms could serve as a master suite or one room could become a home office.

The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and an original built-in china cabinet. The back door of the kitchen opens

onto the spacious deck that leads to the deep, fenced backyard.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath.

The dry basement can house a workshop and a washer and dryer.

The charm of this house is enhanced by its neighborhood: on Saturday, October 18th the wider community will have an opportunity to learn more about the 19th Ward Community Association, its homes and the people who live in them. Five homes and two key institutions will be on 19th Ward House Tour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Homeowners will be delighted to talk about their homes and the neighborhood.

Historic St. Monica Church at 831 Genesee Street is the tour headquarters. In a free talk from 10 to 11 a.m., two experts will give short talks: Dan Farrell on Window Restoration and Weather Stripping and Howard Decker on Urban Sustainability. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 the day of the tour. For information contact the 19th Ward Community Association office at 585-328-6571, or e-mail 19thward@19thwca. org, or visit the website, www.19WCA.org.

The move-in ready home at 199 Aberdeen— eligible for University of Rochester and Unity Health grants for closing costs and down payment—is listed at $94,900. Contact Adrienne Kllc, Re/Max Realty Group at 585317-9043 or Kllcam@aol.com.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

The Entrepreneurial Spirit — Doris Carvalho of Tampa, Florida, is

raising venture capital to expand her hobby of crafting high-end handbags from groomed, recycled dog hair (two pounds’ worth for each bag). With investors, she could lower her costs and the $1,000 price tag, since it now takes 50 hours’ labor to make the yarn for her haute couture accessory.

— Among the suggestions of the Brisbane, Australia, company Pets Eternal for honoring a deceased pet (made to a reporter in September): keeping a whisker or tooth or lock of hair, or having the remains made into jewelry or mixed with ink to make a tattoo. Overlooked was a new project by the Houston space-flight company Celestis, known for blasting human ashes into orbit (most famously those of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry). Celestis, working with a California company, will soon offer to shoot pets’ remains into orbit ($995) or perhaps even to the moon ($12,000).

The Continuing Crisis

— Ontario’s top court rejected Bryan Teskey’s complaint in August over how Roman Catholics continue to be discriminated against by the laws of British royal succession. Even though Ontario (along with many Commonwealth countries) recently removed some aspects of bias (ending the ban on the royal family’s marrying Catholics), Teskey pointed out that Canadian Catholics still do not have a fair shot at becoming king or queen (although Teskey did not claim that he, personally, had been a candidate).

— Names in the News: (1) One of the three suspects in an August arrest

for making fraudulent purchases at a Jupiter, Florida, shop: Ms. Cherries Waffles Tennis, 19. (2) The president of the Alabama Public Service Commission (who invoked prayer in July as the most effective way to fight federal restrictions on coal-fired power plants): Ms. Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh. (3) The investigator for the Ohio state auditor’s office who was ordered by his supervisor in July to end a romantic relationship with another government official: Jim Longerbone.

— Venezuela, already in a recession, suffered a particularly cruel blow (according to a September Associated Press dispatch from Caracas) with the recent shortage in availability of breast implants for its beauty-obsessed senoritas.

Restrictive currency controls are limiting enhancement surgeries from the 85,000 performed last year and, according to a local joke, will force Venezuelan women to start developing their personalities.

(However, according to leading surgeon Dr. Daniel Slobodianik, when potential patients are told their preferred size implant is back-ordered, many merely choose the next-largest available size.)

— But It’s About “Safety,” Not “Money”: On the same day in September, Washington, D.C., and New York City made traffic-camera announcements, with Washington declaring a revenue crisis and New York revealing that just one speed camera in Brooklyn had earned the city $77,550 in a single day.

The District of Columbia had projected $93 million in annual camera income, but estimated it would collect only $26 million, while New York City, which has many fewer cameras, was marveling at the 1,551 tickets the Brooklyn camera zapped on July 7.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 31 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Travel, adventure and being a participant will all open windows of opportunity when it comes to love and finding the right partner. Body language will be what entices and encourages a romantic encounter. Enjoy a host of physically stimulating events, and let the sparks fly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be fooled by the mysterious partners you attract.

Keep your distance, especially if the person making advances is someone you know through work. Jeopardizing your position for a flirtatious and passionate affair will end in disaster. Don’t mix business with pleasure, and avoid being overindulgent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keeping romantic situations honest will be a chore. Flirting with someone in your industry can help you get ahead as long as you keep things out in the open, allowing any downside to connecting with a colleague sprout and be addressed before things heat up too much.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone from your past is likely to surface, causing confusion and problems between you and someone you are thinking about getting to know more intimately.

Take a step back and rethink your next move. For now, offering friendship is your best bet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Visit unfamiliar locations, and you’ll

encounter interesting, colorful characters who grab your attention and stimulate your senses.

Love is on the rise, and taking an active, forward, progressive approach will lead to a romantic opportunity you won’t want to miss. The potential to make a long-term promise is apparent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t get stuck in the past. Dwelling on a romantic situation that crumbled or left you feeling insecure or depressed must be left behind. The only way to mend a broken heart is to find someone you can love more.

Don’t get angry, get moving.

Fun awaits you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put your best foot forward, and

don’t let anyone put unrealistic demands on you. Love is readily available if you display your charismatic, intellectual personality to those you meet at functions that have an underlying meaning to you. Help a cause, and you will find love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be attracted to someone who can be as unique and secretive as you. Being able to share your dark side and personal desires with someone who relates will lead to an unusually sensual and seductive encounter with the potential to grow into a long-lasting connection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your dynamic approach to

everything you do -- including your job — will put you in the spotlight. Showing off a little will guarantee that you attract interest in what you have to offer as a partner personally and professionally. Enjoy the moment and indulge in entertaining relations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tread carefully. You will attract someone looking for a handout or someone to cater to his or her needs. Don’t be tempted by this person’s intelligence or knowledge of the arts. Look for ulterior motives, and protect your assets.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is on the rise, and a romantic offering will help you

seal the deal and make a commitment. Put your heart on the line and make a proposal to someone who makes your heart leap and inspires and motivates you to be the best that you can be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Question any relationship that makes you nervous or uncertain and insecure.

Refuse to let anyone put you in an awkward position. Lean toward the individual who shares the same concerns as you and is willing to meet you halfway. Strive for equality in your personal relationship, not competition.
