Two views on COMIDA
On COMIDA tax breaks
(“How We Should Develop the Region,” Urban Journal, September 28): At the same meeting that you highlighted, when COMIDA gave sales tax breaks to law firm Boylan Code for an intra-city move, similar assistance was provided to an expanding machine shop within the county and a soon-to-open pharmacy within the inner city — both of which are bringing additional jobs to the region and, via multiplier effect, an enhanced economic presence. And none of these actions required an expenditure of current budget dollars by either the county or city. Thus the work of COMIDA Executive Director Judy Seil and her staff should be applauded and encouraged. As the recipient of COMIDA assistance, I can affirm that, particularly in the current economy, each and every dollar of help makes it that much easier to build and invest in our city’s future.

Scheier is president, Your Local Pharmacy LLC. Thank you for a good analysis of what is wrong with Industrial Development Agencies. They are responsible for precious little industrial development and a good deal of self-promoting news releases. I stopped attending the regular public board meeting when someone from the county executive’s office brought in a news release before the meeting which announced the results of the board elections for chair and the various votes for City

subsidies. At the end of the meeting, when I asked if these decisions were made prior to the meeting and any public input, or was the county executive clairvoyant, the response from COMIDA counsel Mike Townsend was that perhaps the county executive was clairvoyant. Your point about competition is well taken. When the Nu-Look collision subsidy was granted, I asked why the company was expanding. Were there more accidents, or were car repairs more complicated and expensive? The company representative answered that neither was the case; they were seeking to take business from competition. So I pointed out to the board that this proposal would result in no net job creation or business expansion here; every new store opened, every new hire was offset by competition closing a store and firing an employee. The COMIDA board ignored this. When Metro Justice organized a major turnout at the Brighton town hall to argue against a set of tax breaks amounting to over $100,000 for a hotel renovation that would result in creation of one job, one board member, citing everything from patriotism to the worth of every job, bellowed his support of this project at a subsequent board meeting. When it was pointed out to the board that the real problem is federal government policies that promote and subsidize corporate expansion in foreign countries with the subsequent loss of jobs here, that so-called free trade agreements are a dismal failure, the board ignored it. When it was pointed out to the board that what is really needed is a strong demand that the federal government adopt a policy of full employment, beginning with the plan that we should make all the cars, computers, televisions, and appliances, not to mention all the shoes, sneakers, clothes, (and yes, even socks and underwear)
that we need here in this country, the board ignored it, just as the federal government ignores the 1947 Full Employment Act. And yes, some of the subsidies are ridiculous. Helping companies expand is great, but helping law firms move to the suburbs or to buy computers or copiers is not. What’s next, pencil sharpeners for hedge fund managers? If you find this hard to believe or are frustrated by it, I highly recommend that you attend the board meetings and see for yourself. I have seen enough to wonder if the story of COMIDA belongs in “News of the Weird.” BILL MCCOY, ROCHESTER Celebrating TJ’s
On Trader Joe’s plan to come to Rochester: YES,
YES, YES. I moved here from Seattle where I ALWAYS shopped at TJ’s. I have only lived here for five years, and have been hauling back TJ’s items every time I visit an area where there is one. BETH
Hurrah for Rochester! We’ve still got it! Now on to getting an Ikea and a Nordstrom! Can we start a grass roots movement? MR. KEN
While it’s encouraging that the Rochester area is not so far gone economically that stores such as Trader Joe’s are still willing to risk setting up shop here, it is highly discouraging that the local business scene is so unimpressive that the local media feel it necessary to tout the “news.” Come on, guys! Put away the champagne and noise makers. It’s just a glorified grocery store, and only a small one at that. (The square footage of Tom Golisano’s infamous house in Mendon is approximately 70 percent that of this planned store). Perhaps a celebration would be in order if it was going up in downtown Rochester as a substitute for the failed Paetec proj-
ect, where it might spark further development. But it’s being built in Pittsford Plaza, where it will serve to suck more life blood out of the city. EMJAYEN
Taking risks
On Urban Journal’s “Riskaverse Rochester,” (October
12): You state: “But when the ferry ran into trouble, we hooted. Practically cheered. And I’ll bet you that if there is no Paetec or Windstream office erected at Midtown, we’ll literally wallow in glee.” You mistake “glee” for anger. Few if any of the financial fiascos foisted on the taxpayers by the Johnson, Duffy, and Richards administrations were calculated risks that simply went bad for unforeseeable or unavoidable reasons. Almost without exception they were poorly conceived and poorly executed ego trips designed more for the personal aggrandizement of the mayor de jour than as sound investments in Rochester’s future. If you define as “wallowing in glee” the fact that we continue to remind the present about the mistakes of the past in hopes of avoiding a repetition of such mistakes in the future, then so be it. But if you have a case to make that those who opposed such projects as the ferry, Renaissance Square, the Paetec Payoff, or the hopefully now-dead “rewatering” of the Broad Street Bridge were wrong and supporters such as City were right, then open up a full-blown discussion in the pages of City. Don’t simply throw some mud and then hide out in your office. CITIZENCANDYKANE
I’ve long theorized that Rochester’s risk-aversion, or waiting for government to do things, comes from multiple generations of Kodak’s relatively benign paternalism. That has seeped into this community’s psyche. When I first moved here and got involved in my neighborhood organi-
zation, I was blown away by the mentality that “the city needs to do something about xyz.” Where I’m from, the most successful neighborhoods are successful precisely because the city stayed out of it. There, City Hall is viewed as so tediously bureaucratic, so bound up with red tape, so corrupt, so political, that neighborhood groups didn’t want City Hall touching things with a 10foot pole. On the one hand, it’s rather sweet that Rochesterians still believe that local government can be a force for good. On the other hand, it’s depressing that Rochester lacks a lot of that “let’s pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps” mentality. URBAN EXPLORER
Although the sentiments expressed in this opinion piece are shared widely, it overlooks the amazing efforts underway in a wide number of emerging technology companies in the Rochester area. if you look across Upstate New York, Albany has at any one time about 30 emerging tech companies, Ithaca has another 50 or so, Syracuse has about 30, Buffalo has about 50, and Rochester has close to 400. That belies the aversion to risk taking you cite in your article. The efforts at HTR, Venture Creations, RIT, the U of R, GRE, and the various clusters of technology companies in the city, in Brighton office parks, in Penfield, Pittsford, Victor, Perinton, Greece, and the many other towns in Monroe County are too numerous to list here. All these are led and staffed by risk takers. You just need to look deeper into the tech community to find them. They are everywhere. J.M. ESTES

MAG, Otterness, and a museum’s mission An important ethical drama is playing out right now at the Memorial Art Gallery. And too few people are taking it seriously enough. The drama concerns New York City sculptor Tom Otterness, one of four artists awarded commissions for works in a new sculpture garden on the southeast corner of the MAG campus. Thirty-four years ago, when he was 25 years old, Otterness adopted a dog from an animal shelter and then, in what everybody agrees was a deplorable act, filmed himself shooting the dog and used that as a work of art. Otterness has apologized, saying that it was the act of a young, troubled artist. MAG’s leaders say they were aware of that history and awarded the commission based on the quality of his work and the appropriateness of his submission for the site. But animal rights activists have been protesting the awarding of Otterness commissions around the country, urging that they be withdrawn. In Rochester, the action began last month, with street-corner protests and calls and letters to MAG, some from people pledging to cancel their membership and stop visiting the museum. To some Otterness critics, his apology isn’t nearly enough. Some want him to donate part or all of his commissions to an animal shelter. Others say nothing he can do would make up for the dog’s death. Ever. The critics — in Rochester and elsewhere — have every right to protest, but important principles are at issue here. The broader one is whether we should forgive people for an indefensible mistake in their youth. The narrower issue: whether public controversy should influence a museum’s exhibitions and acquisitions. Let me get down in the weeds, briefly: If the past actions of an artist should influence a museum’s selection, where do we draw the line? Do we consider only acts committed when the artist was an adult? Only acts committed within the past five years? Within the past 10 years? Do only actions by an artist matter? What about the subject matter of the art? Should museums avoid purchasing or exhibiting anything that offends anybody? Only if it offends a large group of people? If the artist apologizes, is a verbal apology enough? If not, who should determine the proper atonement — and to whom that atonement is paid? Should
It is not MAG’s responsibility to sit in judgment on an artist’s behavior, or to determine and enforce atonement.” the artist pay that atonement for the rest of his life? On every commission? Who should decide? On Tuesday, MAG e-mailed us a statement saying that the museum still wants the sculpture but that Otterness needs to do something more to apologize — something that will “resonate in a meaningful way with our board and gallery community.” Just what will that be? A donation to a shelter? How much? And what if that donation doesn’t satisfy all of the protesters? This sets a terrible precedent. It is not MAG’s responsibility to sit in judgment on an artist’s behavior, or to determine and enforce atonement. That is not MAG’s mission. And to start down this road is to ask our museums to avoid controversy when they make decisions about buying and exhibiting art. The result is that museum staff and board members will constantly be thinking: “Will this work upset anybody?” I don’t happen to like Otterness’s art. But that’s not the point. This is an issue of artistic principle and museum ethics. Until I heard on Tuesday that MAG was asking Otterness for an atonement of its choosing, I thought MAG was standing firm. I was proud of the museum for doing that. And I hoped that the Otterness controversy would make the institution bolder, not gun-shy. Well, now we see. And by the way: Where have the voices of the other cultural institutions been? Why haven’t they spoken out in solidarity? Where are the educational institutions? The university professors? Where are Rochester’s artists? Why has MAG been left hanging out there by itself?
THANK YOU! Thank you to the residents and the business owners who live and work in the East District. I’ve listened to you and encouraged you. Where there was a seed, I’ve helped you make that seed grow. It would be a privilege to continue to serve you for another four years. I ask for your support and vote this November 8th.

Trader Joe’s coming to Pittsford
According to local media, the specialty retail grocer Trader Joe’s will open a store in Pittsford Plaza next year. A 2010 story on CNN called TJ’s “one of the hottest retailers in the US,” with 344 stores in 25 states and Washington, D.C. Sales in 2009, the story says, exceeded $8 billion.
Windstream sends letter to FCC
Windstream Corporation and Paetec sent a letter to the FCC rebutting the City of Rochester’s challenge of the merger of the two companies. Windstream and Paetec contend that quality services will be maintained after the merger. In an earlier letter to the agency, City Corporation Counsel Robert Bergin said that the merger would hurt Rochester, mainly by costing the city jobs.

Henry’s day in court
Virginia Henry was due in Rochester City Court on Tuesday, October 18, in hopes of getting her home back. Henry and her family were evicted from their Appleton Street home in July following foreclosure by Bank of America. Local activists rallied to Henry’s side, saying the eviction was illegal because the Henry family was not given notice of the eviction proceeding.
Rally to protest shooting
The Rochester Police Accountability Coalition will demonstrate outside City Hall on Thursday, October 20, to protest the police shooting of Hayden Blackman. Blackman was shot and killed by a Rochester police officer responding to a report of a domestic disturbance at a home on Columbia Avenue, a police spokesperson says. Blackman, the spokesperson says, ignored orders to drop the knife he was holding and turned toward police. The protest starts at 5 p.m.

Speakers pan fracking review The state’s review of high-volume hydraulic fracturing has some serious flaws, said speakers at a forum on Sunday. Roger Downs, conservation director for the state Sierra Club chapter, said parts of the state’s draft environmental impact statement are ambiguous: such as whether brine hauled up from the wells would be used to melt snow on roads. But the state also lacks adequate health studies, he said, and doesn’t analyze the potential cumulative impacts of statewide drilling. “We’re not necessarily concerned with one well,” Downs said during the forum at Temple B’rith
Kodesh in Brighton. The event was sponsored by several environmental, faith, and social-justice groups. Downs also said that the state’s decision to ban drilling in the Syracuse and New York City watersupply watersheds was shortsighted. Rochester’s water supplies and the watersheds received no such protection, though they are in or near potential fracking territory. Economist Jannette Barth said the review’s economic analysis is onesided. Jobs, income, and tax-revenue numbers are inflated, she said, and the analysis doesn’t consider costs from the effects fracking may have on agriculture and tourism.
Rochester will not be immune from the impacts of fracking, whether it’s increased truck traffic or water-quality issues. “Everybody’s downstream and downwind,” said Anthony Ingraffea, an engineering professor at Cornell University. It’s crucial for concerned residents to comment on the state’s review and to point out its shortcomings, Downs said. The DEC is accepting comments on the environmental statement through 5 p.m. on December 12. More information: http://www.dec. ny.gov/energy/75370.html.

At a sometimes-tense meeting last week, Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard seemed to be trying to allay concerns about police coverage in the East End, while also carefully broaching the subject of finding new ways to fund that coverage. Tight budgets are forcing the RPD to contract, he said.

Policing the East End East End business owners say they want to pay their fair share for police coverage, but some balk at the idea of a special tax to fund that coverage. Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard met with members of the Upper East End Business Association last week about police coverage in the city’s flourishing hub of bars and restaurants. Also attending the meeting were East End residents, business owners, and representatives of a few city departments, including the Southeast Neighborhood Service Center. A command officer from the RPD’s East Division unexpectedly and with short notice told association members last month that the division was reducing its presence in the East End. The RPD has a six-officer detail devoted solely to the East End on weekends. The decision — reportedly made by the East Division alone — was almost immediately reversed by Mayor Tom Richards and Chief Sheppard. But Richards also said that the city would have to consider creating a special taxing district in the East End, since it soaks up a disproportionate amount of police resources.

Some of the signs will say “We are the 99 percent,” “Take back our democracy,” “People before profits,” and “Economic justice for all.” | The ministry isn’t opposed to corporations or profits, Carey says. Rather, members are upset by the influence that corporations and lobbyists have on Congress, which dwarfs the influence of almost everyone else. It’s an issue the ministry was discussing before Occupy Wall Street began, Carey says.

OF CONTROVERSY
Inside the Memorial Art Gallery ’s sculpture -park protest
[ ART ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
In April 2010, the Memorial Art Gallery announced a major commission with Brooklyn-based sculptor Tom Otterness to act as the cornerstone of its planned Centennial Sculpture Park. Otterness is currently working on the sculpture, and MAG is preparing the site; the gallery anticipates that it will be installed in the fall of 2012. But a Democrat and Chronicle article last month brought into local daylight a controversial issue from the artist’s past. In 1977, at age 25, Otterness adopted a dog from an animal shelter, tied the dog to a fence, and shot it to death while filming it as a work of art titled “Shot Dog Film.” Otterness has apologized for the incident, calling his actions “indefensible,” but for many this has not been enough. At the time of the announcement over a year ago, the gallery received a few concerned phone calls and letters regarding the film. But since the recent D&C article, critics have staged a protest near the MAG grounds and launched an onslaught of emails and phone calls to the museum, some of them anonymous and vitriolic, some “very measured, sensitive, compassionate messages of outrage,” says MAG Director Grant Holcomb. And the critics have circulated a petition calling for the museum to end its association with Otterness. MAG has also found support for its decision to fulfill its contract, from members of the arts and wider communities of Rochester. And MAG says it is holding firm — although a statement provided to City on Tuesday asks for more “contrition” from Otterness. That raises the question of whether the museum’s leadership might even ask Otterness to make a donation to an animal shelter or similar organization. “The Gallery’s selection process, that included staff and board members in addition to various community leaders in Rochester and museum professionals across the country, City
OCTOBER 19-25, 2011
resulted in the selection of one of the nation’s major sculptors of public art, Tom Otterness,” the statement reads. “We plan to move forward with our Otterness commission. However we strongly feel that Tom needs to address the current community reaction in a way that renews his contrition for what he did long ago and that this resonate in a meaningful way with our board and gallery community.” “While we are not going to cancel or step away from the sculpture park project,” says the statement, “we are not totally insensitive to the community. We understand that the selection of Tom Otterness has caused concern in some circles. We feel that Tom created this and he needs to find a way to fix it with the public.” Many protesters doubt the sincerity of Otterness’s regret and question MAG’s handling of the entire process, and some have misconceptions regarding the sculpture, its funding, and the park in general. The controversy brings up issues of censorship, the complicated nature of art, and the responsibility of those who put it on exhibition. Otterness’s sculpture for MAG, which will be
a gateway onto the grounds from the corner of Goodman Street and University Avenue, consists of two 13-foot limestone figures that serve as a narrative on sculpture and the act of creation. A female sculptor stands with tools in her hands, in the act of carving a male figure from a block. Farther away from the street and strewn about are works-in-progress — incomplete or imperfect versions of the male sculpture. Otterness’s recent work seems innocuous, but it contains layers of symbolic meanings alluding to issues of gender, money, class, and race. And his MAG sculpture playfully brings to mind differences between the sexes and the difficulty people face when trying to create that “perfect other.” The sculpture references the Pygmalion myth, which tells of a sculptor
creating, falling in love with, and bringing to life a female figure. Otterness declined an interview request last week, citing his travel schedule, but he agreed to answer questions by e-mail. “When I came to Rochester to do research for this commission,” he said, “I found out about Susan B. Anthony’s life here and her successful campaign to open the all-male university to female students in 1900,” regarding the University of Rochester. “The women’s dorm was located in the Cutler Union building, which is close to the installation site. So that influenced my decision to reverse the Pygmalion myth.” “I thought a sculptor’s studio as an artwork would act as a bridge between the active artist studios and the community across Goodman Street and the museum itself,” Otterness said. “I liked the idea of an artist trying to bring stone to life, to make an ideal mate. In this case, she is running into problems. All the guys have something wrong: hands are backwards, heads are off, or their feet are stuck together. Our heroine, though, is optimistic and very persistent.” When choosing a project for the Centennial Sculpture Park, MAG was “looking for narrative, a layered narrative,” says Marjorie Searl, chief curator at MAG. Otterness created a work “very deliberately to refer to not only Susan B. Anthony but also to the fact that this museum was founded by a woman.” On another level, the sculpture nods to the 1913 bas-relief sculptures on the side of the building, she says, in which is depicted “the more traditional sculptor, a male sculptor, with his tools.” Otterness’s installation, she says, “takes that and connects to it, but flips it.” One of the loudest criticisms in April 2010, before news of Otterness’s video eclipsed all other complaints, was that such a large commission was going to a non-local artist. Tom Otterness is in fact one of four artists to
be featured in the park, two of whom are local sculptors, the other two from New York State. New York sculptor Jackie Ferrara’s commission will be a pathway leading to a new entrance plaza. Rochester-based sculptor Wendell Castle will create what he is referring to as an “outdoor living room” made of cast iron and bronze. And the gallery is in talks with Albert Paley about a monumental piece. The park will also include gardens and pathways designed by a local landscape architect. Otterness’s work was chosen for the sculpture garden based on criteria established by a MAG selection committee that included artists, directors of cultural institutions, architects, faculty, and community members. MAG’s criteria included the stature of the artist and reputation in the field, success with site-specific sculpture in particular, and ability to design for durability due to the climate in Rochester. Despite the misconception of some critics, the park and its sculptures are financed not by public funds but by private money drawn from the Maurice R. and Maxine B. Forman Fund. MAG was also “interested in narrative and accessibility,” a work that would be attractive to a broad audience, says MAG Director Grant Holcomb. “The fence comes down, the plaza opens up. There is a lighthearted, if you will, whimsical, narrative going on through Tom’s initiative.” The sculpture park will also include an amphitheater and seating areas within the space, he says, creating a modern version of a 19th century common “where people gather, sit, eat, have performances, weddings, and events. A community space. Tom met those criteria.” The search began in 2006, and a list of 50 artists was eventually reduced to four finalists. In planning the park, “we were interested in an opportunity to provide continuity with the other projects that had gone on in the neighborhood,” says Searl, “so that you walk

down to our grounds and it is not an abrupt switch” from ArtWalk to a campus full of less playful art. Otterness’s work functions at multiple levels, Searl says. What appears to be a sculpture about two figures, one carving another from a block, “is really about the whole concept of creativity in general, and that was such a match for this neighborhood and this institution.” MAG was made aware of Otterness’s infamous
video during the selection process, while the committee was narrowing its choices in 2007. A planned Otterness installation at Wichita State University was swept up in controversy when a student government candidate who objected to using student funds for the Otterness work brought the film to public attention. MAG spoke with WSU officials, Searl says, and found that they were “totally positive about working with Tom.” The commission went forward at Wichita, and MAG continued to look at various artists, but kept coming back to Otterness. He was the “artist who seemed best able to provide what it was we were hoping to accomplish,” says Searl. Among the apologies Otterness has made for the controversial video was one reported in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in April 2008: “Thirty years ago when I was 25 years old, I made a film in which I shot a dog. It was an indefensible act that I am deeply sorry for. Many of us have experienced profound emotional turmoil and despair. Few have made the mistake I made. I hope people can find it in their hearts to forgive me.” Otterness says that the video came out of a dark and angry period of his life. His work now focuses on animals in a positive way. Many of his sculptures, which can be found in many states as well as internationally, prominently feature a variety of animal life. With the work for Rochester inspired by the Pygmalion and Pinocchio myths, viewers
could connect them with themes about animating materials, bringing them to life, or searching for a connection. Other people who have worked with Otterness describe the experience as very positive, says Holcomb, and this “runs contrary to the words used to describe Tom, which are vile — just not the man or the artist we know.” No one finds the killing of the dog to have been anything but “despicable, callous — as Tom does,” says Holcomb. But “Tom as a person is not how he’s described by some of the missives I’ve received.” Otterness has visited Rochester several times since 2009 to look at MAG’s grounds, and to formulate and present his proposal. “He loved ArtWalk, and was very enthusiastic about it,” says Searl. “He remains ready to really engage with this community.” At no time during the selection process did MAG see any reason to stop the project because of Otterness’s character, says Searl. “If anything, I felt that his character was a very solid one. It was very hard to reconcile the story we heard with the gentlemen who was in the flesh. One of the challenges for us is that we have had the opportunity to work with this man, to know him,” she says, “but when you read something described in lurid ways, you have nothing to offset that with. But some people don’t want something to offset it. To them it’s very black and white. I think life, and particularly art, is not necessarily black and white.” Many of the protesters who have left posts
on articles about the Rochester commission, on MAG’s Facebook page, and on specific Facebook protest pages argue that MAG should not help support the career of someone who killed an animal in the name of art. But the issue brings about a strange form of potential censorship: although the film itself is not being censored (MAG says that all copies were destroyed, and the film is not even continues on page 8

available), some protesters want to impede the career of the artist who created it. Those protesting the Otterness sculpture have been following the history of his career and controversy on the web and in past news articles. Many feel that his apology was too little, too late, and the term “sociopath” keeps arising, even among those who aren’t sure that MAG should cancel the commission. One of the protesters is Dr. Michelle Brownstein, who has been a veterinarian for 25 years and has run Henrietta Animal Hospital for 20 years, and says she has been interested in animal-rights issues since she learned about the puppy-mill industry in sixth grade. Brownstein kicked off the local petition to have MAG rescind Otterness’s commission, and says that the list is just shy of 2000 names from people around the world. She also initiated the Facebook group “Rochesterians Against Tom Otterness,” and sends out e-mail blasts and Tweets to gain support for her petition. It’s not up to the public to forgive Otterness, Brownstein says: “Atonement is up to him and his god, or whoever he feels is his creator.” And she says she doesn’t trust that he has changed. MAG should “cut its losses,” she says, “and not be affiliated with him.” Another Rochesterian opposed to the Otterness commission, Megan Haley, says she dropped her gallery membership in protest of the project. MAG has dismissed the protesters as a fringe group of activists, she says, and she says that that the gallery is underestimating the consequences of its actions. She says she is concerned about long-term negative impacts, such as the possible trauma to children who learn of the artist’s past, or potential vandalism of the work after it is completed. But she says she doesn’t think protesters should try to force Otterness to donate money, because that “wouldn’t be a genuine” action on his part. Some of the protesters seem uninterested in the subject of forgiveness where Otterness is concerned. But they also don’t consider their actions to be censorship of art or an artist, or an attempt to deny him the right to make his living through art. Rochester graphic designer and animal advocate Katherine Denison says she is walking a middle road on the issue, and she identifies some of the complexities involved, from the context of the cultural climate of the 1970’s and some of the violent art movements of the time, to the concept of a how a violent transgressor might make amends on par with his actions. “I have complicated feelings about it,” she says. She is not necessarily opposed to the Otterness installation, she says, but she does think MAG should consider revoking it. Since the onset of the controversy, Denison has been researching Otterness, and she says she has serious concerns regarding his level of regret and believes the public has a right to question him. “It’s such a bizarre and angry City

thing to have done that it seems to me that if you were truthful about wishing to create a kind of atonement for it, that people could understand publicly, that he would share something about how he’s addressed that. He might talk about therapy that he’s done. Or give some sense of what kind of spiritual or emotional changes he went through.” Denison is also disturbed by MAG’s decision to sign contracts with Otterness before many members of the public knew about his past. She says she wonders why the controversy wasn’t disclosed at the beginning of the process, and she doesn’t think MAG should be surprised that groups would rise up in the way they have surrounding this issue: “This is the home of intense politics,” she says. “There is a part of me that is on the side of MAG in this issue, thinking that they shouldn’t pull [the project] because of a controversy,” Denison says. Animal shelters kill thousands of dogs every year, she says, and people around the world consume them as food, but ultimately she argues that with his video, Otterness crossed a serious line. He has touched the public, she says, “in a very primitive way.” In his e-mail reponse, Otterness wasn’t
reluctant to discuss the video. “I had some very convoluted and confused ideas about both the making and the showing of that film,” he said. “It came out of an extremely dark and painful time in my life. I am deeply sorry for taking the life of that innocent dog, as well as the harm I have caused people in even hearing it described. I have lived with people’s judgment of me both privately and publicly for 34 years. It may be another 20 years before I understand the effect this has had on my work.” To give shape and shade to the complexities of the controversy, a significant consideration is the time period in which Otterness created his film. The work emerged from a period of war and extreme social unrest, of bombings and powerlessness, and much of the art from the late 1970’s resembled a desperate scream. Marina Abramović was mutilating herself in her performance art, and Robert Mapplethorpe was creating his controversial photographic explorations. “I can understand people’s outrage when first hearing about it,” Otterness said in his e-mail. “I don’t understand what PETA and others stand to gain by trying to stop me from producing something positive in the world.” As for making a large donation to an animal service or organization: “The idea that my making a donation to a shelter would somehow legitimize or validate my apology seems senseless to me,” he said. “I’ve never felt that it was possible to buy my way out of responsibility for what I did, and I would hate for anyone to ever think that’s what I
was trying to do. I’ve spent the last 34 years thinking, privately, about how to make a positive contribution to the world, and certainly I will continue to do so.” One vocalized reasoning behind the call for a donation is that Otterness appears to gain so much monetarily from a commission of this scope. “I think some people have the impression that if the commission’s $1 million, he’s walking away with $1 million,” says MAG’s Grant Holcomb. “I don’t know the percentage, but I do know the cost of doing business with the materials, and the transportation, and the assistants, and the studio — most of the monies go to cover those costs of the monument itself, not Tom’s net. The cost of working on that scale is enormous.” Payments have already been

“For every artwork that we purchase that is above a certain dollar value, we are obliged by our bylaws to present a justification — the strengths, the weaknesses,” says MAG’s Searl. Otterness’s video “was something that we were aware of,” says Searl, “something that we needed to take into consideration. But generally speaking, there is no category for vetting the character of the artist.” Otterness is not the only artist to have committed a morally reprehensible act. Artists and other creative people who have transgressed yet retained a level of respect and admiration include the painter Caravaggio, who killed a man after losing money to him in a game of tennis. L. Frank Baum, the author of the beloved “Wizard of Oz,” called for the extermination of the remaining Lakota Sioux in newspaper editorials. And Pablo Picasso reportedly held lit cigarettes to his mistress’s face. In fact, the extent of assaults and abuses by artists and musicians toward their female companions is in itself a sobering topic. And while none of that excuses Otterness’s act, it provides an idea of how quickly museums, book stores, and playlists might empty if people judged artists solely on their personal ethics. “If a Caravaggio was offered to us, and we wouldn’t take it because he murdered somebody, they should fire me,” says MAG’s Grant Holcomb. In considering the transgressions of artists, and what constitutes a moral deal-breaker in doing business, things get very tricky very quickly. “This raises a very good point,” says Holcomb. “There are some who believe that an abortion is the taking of a life.” Then should the gallery start sending questionnaires to women artists, asking about their reproductive histories? Would it be fair for a cultural institution to refuse to work with a woman if she had had an abortion? What are the implications of an institution pulling a work of art that is controversial, instead of becoming a forum for discussion? When an art museum does not stand by art
based on controversy, “it loses stature as an art museum,” says Holcomb. “Basically you’re not standing up to your mission. You’re not standing up to your ideals. No one condones
the act. We’re an art museum, not a star chamber. And we acted as an art museum, and we will act as an art museum. We will also listen at least with compassion and sensitivity to other points of view, when they are measured and well-stated. But to do otherwise I think diminishes the gallery.” Regarding the issue of an institution standing by an artist or work it has chosen to represent, “Museums have an obligation, like the rest of us, to do their best work, and do their work best. And if it’s an art museum, their work is showing good art,” says Dr. Alison Nordström, curator of photographs at George Eastman House. “And if people object to showing a work of art on the basis of somebody’s personal life or youthful indiscretions, then they’re sort of missing the point,” she says. “The purpose of museums is to get people talking.” MAG plans to move ahead with the sculpture park as planned, while attempting to come to a good resolution with the community. “To me the issue is art, and we can deal with the art, its past, its present, and its future,” says Holcomb. “Now we’re in the realm of grand themes of art. One grand theme of art is compassion, and another grand theme of art is forgiveness.” “There is a lot for all of us to learn in this,” says Holcomb, who says he hopes MAG can provide a forum that seeks, “along with these other community entities — from animal rights to interfaith to restorative justice — to deal with issues that can inflame but at the same time, we hope, heal, as we move through them.” “If it comes out of this conversation that more people focus on supporting organizations of animal welfare,” that is a positive, says Searl. “I would like Rochester to be a model for moving forward, for this artist, but also for other artists, for other situations, where there could be dialogue, there could be growth, there could be a willingness to stay close to the discomfort, to the pain of it,” without shutting anybody off. “And that’s a very big thing to ask,” she says, “but if any institution can do it, I think we should be able to do it.”

Different approaches to East End coverage were briefly discussed, including paying police overtime, or creating a special assessment district where business owners and residents would pay extra for police coverage. City Council member Elaine Spaull attended the meeting and said that allowing police to compile exorbitant amounts of overtime for East End coverage is out of the question. Police overtime is a long-time sore spot for the city. Some of the bar, club, and other business owners questioned how the special assessment district would work. “Our property has a very high value,” one business owner said. “Yes, we want to be part of the solution, but we’re not For more Tom Tomorrow, including a political blog and cartoon archive, visit http://thismodernworld.com

Someone else said that he viewed the extra tax as taxation without representation and asked why the center city has a substantial police presence without paying more. The tax would be levied on the property owner, but some of the business owners said they expected their landlords to pass the increase down to them. Spaull said that the RPD, city elected officials, and the city’s law department are working to attach numbers to specific scenarios and will present their findings at the association’s November meeting.

With winter right around the corner, the impulse to eat like a glutton and crawl into my burrow for a nap becomes nearly irresistible. As the temperature drops, I start to emulate bears by eating more than I should, and mimic squirrels by putting food up for the snowy months ahead. I was delighted, then, to stumble on the Cellar Door in the renovated basement space of the Green Lantern Inn in Fairport. Featuring a menu that is billed as fresh and seasonal — right now it’s full of squash, and late-season greens, and lots and lots of carbs and meat — this seemed like a good place to go to ground for an evening or two.
The entrance to the restaurant has a speakeasy quality to it. Tucked under the main porch of the Green Lantern, down a narrow set of stairs, it’s not the easiest of places to find unless you are looking for it. Even then you might find yourself (as I did) wandering into the banquet hall attached to the back of the Inn and heading down the stairs only to end up in the coat room. When you do find your way in to the restaurant, the space is cozy, low-ceilinged, and dim, the walls are covered in velvety wallpaper, the banquettes are soft and deep, and there are no windows — just the way you’d like a lair to be on a chilly night. As promised, chef Matt Laurence’s menu
cleaves very close to the fresh and local. Start off, as I did, with a bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale, a nice dark ale perfect for autumn meals, and work your way through the “To Share” side of the menu. Pretzels go well with beer, and Laurence’s trio of soft pretzels served with spicy mustard and a generous cup of Welsh rarebit (beer and cheese sauce) are superb ($6). Coated with coarse salt, sesame seeds, or enriched with dried cranberries, the pretzels came to the table piping hot (too
hot to touch, actually — we kept burning our fingers but coming back again and again because they were too tasty to leave alone), dense, chewy and delicious. While munching pretzels, order up a Thai pizza ($8) and a plate of crab cakes ($15). Laurence managed a hotel restaurant in Baltimore, and he advertises his crab cakes as “Baltimore-style.” I’m pleased to tell you that his characterization of these treats is dead-on. A true Maryland crab cake is a rough-hewn item, chunks of lump crab meat barely held together by mayonnaise and a very small quantity of binder (usually breadcrumbs) to hold them together. Laurence’s crab cakes were a model of their kind, bite-sized and savory with a nice bit of dill thrown into the mix for good measure. The remoulade on the side was a nice touch, but I barely touched it the crab was so fresh and good. Thai pizza, a trendy mix of halved grapes and chicken sate on a peanut-sauce base, was similarly tasty — almost a salad on a flat bread. The well-cooked crust was heaped with a colorful mixture of shredded carrots, cucumbers, and grape tomatoes along with the promised grapes, the peanut sauce acting as an earthy sweet dressing.
and salad would be a great way to go here. On my second visit, the chef was offering a sweet and rich butternut squash soup ($4) finished with a judicious but not overpowering dollop of cream (too often soups like this end up tasting like pumpkin pie filling) and a masterful hand with the spices. Pairing this soup with the frisee aux lardons salad ($5) that I had on my first visit would satisfy even the most jaded of palates. Frisee can be overly bitter, but Laurence clearly found a supplier of baby greens and uses them to good effect, tossing them with a zesty sherry dressing, scattering a handful of crispy bits of smoky bacon over top, and then sliding a snowy white and primary yellow poached egg on the top. This isn’t a huge salad, but the flavors explode in your mouth, lighting up your palate like a pinball machine. The Cellar Door also offers its own version of the trendy charcuterie plate, the Preservation Platter ($13). Locally made jalapeno liverwurst, Hartmann’s smoked sausage, a heap of paper-thin slices of prosciutto, a dish of excellent giardiniera (incidentally, this is the same mix that goes on top of the Thai pizza), and four “devils on horseback” (dates and almonds wrapped in thick slices of crunchy bacon) jockey for position on an abundantly stacked plate. Served with crunchy slides of crostini, this would be a perfect bar snack or a good beginning to a truly indulgent supper. Perhaps I’ve become jaded over time, but
entrees rarely excite me anymore — I’ve developed something like foodie ADD, losing focus on my meal long before I’ve finished it. Laurence’s entrees are quite good, and entirely satisfying, but they aren’t as creative as his shared plates. The plate of pork tenderloin with apple brandy cream sauce, fresh spaetzle, and broccoli rabe ($18) reminded me powerfully of a nearly identical dish that I had in Baltimore almost a decade ago. The spaetzle were light, airy, and pleasantly slippery, a nice sop for the sauce, and the pork was well-cooked with a good sear on the outside to enhance its flavor, but it wasn’t particularly exciting. Similarly, the pumpkin chipotle pasta with roasted squash and rabe in brown buttersage sauce ($16) was a solid execution of a classic preparation. The pasta was cooked to a pleasant al dente and the bitter greens played well with creamy squash and wildtasting sage, but I kept glancing back at the menu that our waitress had left behind and wondering whether I should have ordered the lamb meatballs, or baked brie instead.

of Awesome New Republic, and now going by the acronym ANR, this Miami synth-rock duo produces a fair bit of noise from its seemingly minimal elements of keys, drums, and vocals. With piercing, anthemic synths and pounding drums, the songs are of the type that build gradually before reaching a bombastic conclusion. Yet the music is inherently misleading, given that the lyrics often focus on a post-apocalyptic world mired in the aftermath of global natural disasters. The band’s grandiose pop sounds belie the subject matter at hand, but ultimately the enjoyable ride renders that point moot. With Khat House and Autoverse. — DAVID LABARGE

The band’s debut, “Revelator,” dropped this past June and just hints at what’s going to happen live. It should be an interesting juxtaposition on stage, what with Tedeschi’s soul-on-fire pipes and six-string pyrotechnics next to Trucks’ ultra-casual demeanor and slippery slide. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Mic stand kung-fu [ review ] by frank de blase
Gary Cherone’s new band, Hurtsmile, put a smile on my dial Friday night at Montage Music Hall. Other than his work with Extreme and the 10 minutes he spent in Van Halen, I really didn’t know a whole heck of a lot about Cherone. But I got wise to a few things at this show. For one, it’s rather obvious that Cherone loves Freddie Mercury. Minus a little of that operatic upper-register nose-bleed stuff and the halfmic-stand kung-fu, Cherone sang with a grandiose bravado with dashes of on stage pageantry. The rest of the band, however, rocked lean and loud, kicking out the jams like the MC-5. It was like Queen in the Motor City. For its second song the band pummeled Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up,” which pretty much sold me. Unfortunately I missed Methanol’s brief opening set but got there just in time to see a band on stage (nobody seemed to know the name) doing lame Van Halen covers. Rainline revived the room with its big rock ’n’ roll. It was a bold, though abbreviated set of classic hooks and chops. Rainline is a band that defies ceilings, just like Freddie’s pipes.
Slid over to Water Street Music Hall — the club side, that is — Saturday night to dig Carolyn Wonderland rock the joint. She plays so raw for such a sweet lady. Her slide slithers and her guitar growls with so much menace. I am sick and tired of folks comparing any white chick that belts the blues with Janis Joplin. But in this case — this rare instance — the comparison flies. And though Wonderland it much prettier, her blues are just as mean and ugly. She closed out her generous set with Rick Derringer’s “Still Alive and Well,” the song that made me fall in love with her in the first place. I’m sure the red hair didn’t hurt, either. I left Wonderland for the new Sticky Lips on Jefferson Road in time to catch Brian Lindsay’s second set. The stage in this new juke joint is outstanding, and the sound is as well. Lindsay and his crew blew through the hickory smoke and the pages out of Lindsay’s songbook — a songbook full of local relevance and world-weary beauty. I could listen to him for hours.

Endever after Endever Plays as part of Halloween Havoc Night 2, with Melia, Starlight Cities, Doctors, and Endyga Saturday, October 29 Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St. 8 p.m. | $5 | themontagemusichall.com myendever.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
Endever is a band of beautiful balance. Where most groups that swing both the melodic and heavy hammers wind up teetering and ultimately favoring one or the other, Endever keeps an even keel. Made up of graduates from Irondequoit High School — Jay Wright (bass), Scott Tellex (rhythm guitar), Joe Guida (lead guitar), Jim Clark (vocals), and Pete Nowak (drums) — the group got together after its members all returned from college. It immediately fell into its heavy melodic stride with dashes of alternative rock for added accessibility. The band has released two albums, notably the recent “Control” that was produced by the incomparable Jesse Sprinkle, who also pulled a fill-in stint as the band’s drummer. Live, the band hits heavy without getting bogged down. The guitars sparkle as much as the crush. And singer Jim Clark’s voice soars relatively clean — with just a hint of melancholy — while still maintaining urgency. And of course there’s that balance… 14 City OCTOBER 19-25, 2011
Clark stopped in to City’s offices to discuss the new record, pay for play, and how the band isn’t afraid of anything. CITY: You’ve got a new album out, but I heard that the band is taking it easy? Jim Clark: Everybody is kind of caught up
pay-for-play and this ain’t L.A., it’s Rochester. And unless you’re willing to do covers — that’s actually something we’re starting to work on now… Wait a minute. What?
in their careers right now, so we’re taking a step back and playing at our leisure and our pleasure, as opposed to trying to get shows in every month.
We’re discussing getting a couple of covers to integrate into our show to help make us more feasible and possibly make it a four-hour show in a place where we can mix in our originals. But it’s not really the desire of the band.
But you’ve got producer extraordinaire Jesse Sprinkle on drums now.
That’s a pretty big compromise. Is everyone down with it?
Jesse Sprinkle was just our fill-in drummer. He just took on too many projects. We saw that one coming. So we called our old drummer [Pete Nowak] back, though he’s basically just starting his family so it’s a chaotic point in his life.
Yeah, everybody’s on board. I guess the survival of the band right now is what it comes down to.
Does playing out less bother you?
I don’t think so. I think it’s going to make it a little more rewarding for us. As an original band don’t you have the urge to hit the road and share your music with other audiences in other cities?
What we’ve run into as an original band is pay-for-play; the venues need you to sell tickets. And it’s tough if you’re hitting Buffalo for the first time. I can probably bring along 10 people, friends and family, but… How do you feel about the scene here?
The music scene, if it’s not built into that club, you’re hurting. Everything’s gone to
consistent sound. This one we took our time on. We spent a lot of time on each song, not just in the studio, but in rehearsal. Endever skates the razor between heavy and melodic. Do you ever feel as if you’re holding back in order to keep from going over the top?
No, but I think this album is the heaviest we’ve ever been. There are two parts where I scream in songs, but it’s there to emphasize a certain emotion I’m trying to convey, or during a bridge of one song where all I wanted to instill was a moment of insanity. There’s always been a purpose behind everything we’ve done. Where does Endever fit in?
What would convince you to tour more?
If we had every unit in the band secure with it, not just on the same page. When Endever first started out what was the desired sound?
I don’t know, we just said let’s see what comes out of it. Joe would bring in a song and we’d just pound it out. And we were like, “This is what we are.” How does “Control” compare to “Stealing Fortune”?
With “Stealing Fortune,” at the time it felt cool; “Look what we’ve created.” Looking back, we liked it because it was the first baby that popped out. This new album is more cohesive, throughout you get a more
You’ve got your hardcore scene, you’ve got your rock scene, you’ve got your classicrock scene. I think we fall in the cracks. A lot of times we’ll go to a show and the promoters are like, “I’m not sure you’ll fit on this bill.” How do you describe the band’s sound?
I always describe it as ambient, intricate, hard rock. Within those parameters, is there anything you guys won’t do?
To be honest, we’re not scared of anything. Endever has never been a band to shoot down an idea.

Jazz at Immanuel CLASSICAL | Rochester Oratorio Society
Some works by classical composers are so grand of scale that the performance requirements preclude any real frequency of production. But, when Nazareth College is hosting the American Choral Directors Association fall conference, it means that batons will be waived over great works. On October 21, the Rochester Oratorio Society will be joined by the Nazareth College and Houghton College choirs for a performance of works fit for a king. The program includes selections from Sir Handel’s “Coronation Anthems” and (1727 for the coronation of England’s King George II and Queen Caroline) and Herr Mozart’s “Krönungsmesse” (“Coronation Mass,” 1779, but likely not used until 12 years later for the coronation festivities of Kings Leopold II and Francis I). Crowned jewels optional. The concert takes place Friday, October 21, 7:30 p.m. at Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 N. Plymouth Ave. $25. 473-2234, ROSSings.org. — BY PALOMA A.

POP | Viva Brother
JAZZ | TIZER feat. Karen Briggs
Viva Brother — previously known as Brother, Kill the Arcade, Wolf Am I — operates with an inflated sense of bravado. Having been hailed as heirs to the throne of Britpop, the lads from Slough invented their own term for their sound — gritpop — and then proceeded to pick fights with everyone else charting in their home country, from Florence + The Machine to Kings of Leon. Whether or not you agree with the band’s personal assessment that it is “the future of rock ‘n’ roll,” you can agree with this: there’s always room for another hardcharging, beer-swilling, fight-picking foursome welcome to try its hand at being just that. Motopony opens.
Smooth jazz pianist Lao Tizer has lent his talents to performers ranging from soul stars Isaac Hayes and The Commodores to jazz artists George Benson and The Rippingtons. But when he takes the stage at the Lutheran Church Saturday night he may be out-shined by his featured guest, violinist Karen Briggs. After touring extensively with Yanni, Briggs has played with Stanley Clarke, Chaka Khan, Wynton Marsalis, and many others. She is a dynamic fiddle player with dazzling speed and dexterity matched by her wildly inventive improvisations.

POP | Never Shout Never
Joplin, Missouri’s Never Shout Never performs the sort of sweet and quirky songs that can easily get stuck in your head. Twenty-year-old lead singer-songwriter Christofer Drew is a genuine indie-pop heartthrob, an engaging messy-haired teen idol that reminds some folks of Justin Bieber (although tattooed and pierced vegetarian Drew is more like Mick Jagger compared to Bieber’s Paul McCartney). In a few short years, Drew has gone from a MySpace upstart to NSN being the subject of a major-label bidding war. The band is using its stardom to give back to its tornado-ravaged hometown, posting a YouTube video it hopes will help raise $1 million. Rocket To The Moon, Fake Problems, and Carter Hulsey share the bill. Never Shout Never plays Sunday, October 23, 6:30 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N.

A Flaming Lips live show always involves great spectacle. Whether it’s the band emerging from a 30-foot vagina, or it’s front-man Wayne Coyne rolling about onstage within a clear plastic sphere, the flamboyant act is an integral part of the attraction. Yet while there is no shortage of outlandish stage decorations, no amount of flash could sustain a band that has performed for nearly three decades. Utilizing a mix of their eclectic and vast catalogue of spacey alternative rockpsychedelic pop, The Flaming Lips have adapted to the times and remained relevant. The band has also elevated its live show to an art form; this is a band you’ll be sorry to miss. The Flaming Lips perform Tuesday, October 25, 7 p.m. at Main Street Armory, 900 E.

Classical experience largely on campus in a “kind of a cocoon” grew in the 1960’s beyond campus songs and into political songs. The Women’s Glee Club hit a high note in the 1960’s, with a sustained membership of more than 100 women, as part of a dozen singing groups on campus. Auditions for the Women’s Glee Club were so competitive in the early 1960’s that one letter noted the group was turning down 45 percent of those who applied. In 1963, a group called the Cecilia Chorale was started as a feeder group, with one year of membership required before being eligible to audition for Women’s Glee Club. The Cecilia Chorale had 67 members in its first year. Having a large number of voices meant that

Before women received the right to vote in 1920 through the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, women’s voices could be heard in song at the University of Rochester, where women had been admitted as students since 1900. In 1911, 21 female members of the student body formed the Women’s Glee Club at the university (the group was eventually renamed the Women’s Chorus). For this year’s UR Meliora Weekend, Philip Silvey, current director of the Women’s Chorus, is studying the group’s history and inviting alumna to join in the song for the group’s 100th anniversary. While looking at archival photos of the Women’s Chorus, Silvey noted, “If you take away the hairstyles and the outfits, they are late teens women, just like now,” says Silvey. “But current members haven’t really reflected on how much has changed right before their lifetimes. I see it as one of the roles for my job, being able to communicate this heritage and link it to something bigger.” Silvey says that the group currently includes roughly 70 members. 22 City october 19-25, 2011
When I interviewed Silvey, he was busy preparing for the 100th anniversary concert, including going through the memorabilia for the Women’s Chorus housed at the UR’s Rush Reese Library Rare Books and Special Collections. Included in Silvey’s tasks was sending out an invitation to alumna from the group to join in the anniversary concert. One woman who responded was Rochester resident Joyce Gilbert, class of 1958, president of the Women’s Glee Club her senior year. Gilbert participated in the Women’s Glee Club from 1954 to 1958, at a time when there were at least 100 members entirely from the arts campus, all singing under the direction of Ward Woodbury. Gilbert started her college education in English in what was then the Women’s College at the Prince Street location, and has kept in touch with other members of the women’s and the men’s glee clubs. When I asked her for a memory of performances, Gilbert recalled an arrangement of “By the Waters of Babylon” that was “quite bouncy,” which she still remembers well. Gilbert recalled a range of repertoire, from operas to church music. Gilbert also recalled “The Tower of Cutler,” a “campus song” that she previously performed, with lyrics inspired by Cutler Hall, a freshman dormitory. Gilbert accepted the invitation to sing with the Women’s Chorus as part of the Meliora Weekend, and also to take a river boat cruise with members of the current Women’s Chorus to share her memories with them. “One of the things that is important to me that I said to them is that they’re not
part of something that pops up while they’re there,” says Gilbert. “The people who are singing this season could be doing it when the group is celebrating its 150th anniversary.” Gilbert continues to sing in vocal groups to this day, currently in the Eastman Rochester Chorus. “I’ve always had a group to sing with — it’s very important to me,” says Gilbert. “The day I can’t do it will be a very sad day.” At the UR Rare Books and Special Collections,
two boxes of choir materials spanned from the 1940’s to the 1980’s, and there were gems in memorabilia, including a small group of photocopies of songs written by women alumna from the earlier years of the chorus with the song about Cutler Union referenced by Gilbert. Mimeographed programs. Square photographs from the 1970’s with rounded corners. Women’s handwritten notes and taped-in keepsakes like corsages. Of all the archive materials I reviewed, my personal favorite was clear. The letter from the executive committee of the Men’s Glee Club, dated February 16, 1959, which began with the salutation, “Dear Ladies,” and continued with, “We must finally humble ourselves to a new realization of your outstanding capabilities and improvement. The new standards which you have established have definitely crated a challenge to the Men’s Glee Club to strive for greater perfection.” The scrapbooks reflect the changing times over the lifespan of the chorus. What Gilbert had described as a late 1950’s college
Women’s Glee Club could perform larger works. In the 1960’s, works performed included Mozart’s “Coronation Mass,” Bach’s “Mass in B Minor,” Honegger’s “King David,” and Britten’s “War Requiem.” For some of the programs, the Women’s Glee Club combined with the Men’s Glee Club. For others, it combined with and at other colleges like Dartmouth College. The 1960 Dartmouth trip notes included a typed itinerary note, “the women, accompanied by Mrs. Cross, their chaperone, will return Monday night.” And, as for a 1965 Dartmouth College concert, the Daily Dartmouth reported, “There was not a screechy note the entire evening…” In April 1963, the Women’s Glee Club was part of a Stravinsky weekend, including a lecture by Virgil Thomson that earned a mention in Life Magazine. In November of that same year, the Women’s Glee Club was part of a “Salute to Howard Hanson” program, billed as “the first such Rochester concert” featuring his work. Two years later, the Women’s Chorus performed Hanson’s “Song of Human Rights,” with a text from the Preamble to the Declaration of Human Rights on its 15th Anniversary, with fragments of texts of John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, Catholic chant, Jewish chant, Lutheran chorale, and Negro spirituals. And by December 10, 1966, the University of Rochester Christmas Concert, including the Women’s Glee Club, was broadcast nationwide on ABC radio and overseas on Voice of America. Through all the years, members, music directors, group names, and concert venues, the idea of a dedicated women’s chorus remains as vibrant as ever. “The University of Rochester women are very special,” says Silvey. “Hard-working, self-motivated, responsive — a fantastic group of students. They are not afraid to be themselves.”

SPECIAL EVENT | Zombie Walk/Project 5: Horror
Walking zombies are scary enough. Running zombies are even scarier. Zombies on roller skates are downright terrifying. Dig up your zombie make-up and fake blood and get ready to hit the streets of Rochester. The ROC City Roller Derby will be hosting their 3rd Annual Zombie Walk to kick off the Project 5: Horror week at the Little Theatre. Area zombie aficionados are invited to meet on Friday, October 21, at 8 p.m. in front of Java’s (16 Gibbs St.) and creep down East Avenue, ending at the Little Theatre (240 East Ave.). Not only will dressing as a zombie pave the way for a night of frightful fun, it will also earn some nice discounts at the Little for its annual horror film festival. Those in make-up will be able to get $1 off Halloween beers in the Little’s café, and $2 off a ticket to the opening event “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” Friday at 10 p.m. The Little’s horror fest switches to a new format this year, with classic and contemporary horror films screening Friday, October 21-Thursday, October 27. Selections include “Creepshow,” “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” “Trick ‘r Treat,” “Videodrome,” and more; check thelittle.org for schedule and details. — BY ERIC LACLAIR [ Thursday, October 20 ] “Dr. Dirty” John Valby.

and sexy. (The sound work by composer Gregg Coffin and sound designer Todd Mack Reischman is the most consistently effective and creepy element of the play.) Conversely, Act II feels rushed, as the characters face off against Drac in London, and then everyone zips across Europe in a matter of seconds, speaking directly to the audience to explain what is happening. The climactic sequence features more fun stage tricks, but it lacks tension, and very little of the play ever approaches scary. Although the material itself is problematic,

The bite stuff “Dracula”
Through November 13 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd. $25+ | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
Vampires have experienced an amazing narrative makeover in the last century or so. When Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” was first published in 1897, the count and his fellow undead were considered the ultimate bogeymen. They transformed into wolves, mist, or bats. They sucked the blood from their victims. And if you got bit, you would become one of them, damned for all eternity. Now, 100-plus years later, vampires are badass heroes (or at least anti-heroes). In works like “True Blood,” “Twilight,” and “Vampire Diaries,” bloodsuckers are the good guys. They’re strong, sexy, and best of all, they get to live forever, young and pretty until the end of days. What modern American wouldn’t want to be a vampire? It’s fascinating, then, to get reacquainted with the original fangster via Geva’s current production of “Dracula.” The show features solid acting and some nifty tricks of stage magic, and adequately relays one of the most enduring horror stories in literary history, as Steven Dietz’s adaptation adheres fairly closely to Stoker’s original script. But hewing so rigorously to the original source material saddles the play with some major weaknesses.
The story is split between Victorian-era London
and Transylvania, where Count Dracula has invited British solicitor Jonathan Harker to finalize a real-estate purchase in London. Back home, Harker’s fiancé, Mina Murray, is dealing with strange happenings with her friend, Lucy, who is besieged by odd dreams, marks on her neck, and serious health problems. Lucy’s paramour, Dr. John Seward, cannot solve Lucy’s medical mystery, and so he calls on the help of his former mentor, Professor Abraham Van Helsing, who immediately recognizes the signs of a vampire attack. After Jonathan returns home, safe but nearly driven insane by his time in Castle Dracula, the quartet slowly pieces together the truth about the count, and tries to stop him from sinking his fangs into the teeming masses of his new home in England. If you’re a theatergoer who has never read Stoker’s novel (and no, seeing the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola film version doesn’t count — it’s different), I recommend reading the playwright’s note from Dietz included in the Geva program. In it, Dietz explains the jumpy narrative of the show, which is based on the epistolary structure of the book. The story is cobbled together from the viewpoints of many different characters, none of them grasping the full picture until it’s too late. Dietz’s note helps to put things into context, and underlines some of the subtext of the story. But the first act is still laborious in parts, and laden with melodramatic dialogue. Director Peter Amster does his best to build the tension — there’s a great moment with Dracula emerging from his coffin, and Harker’s unwanted snuggle time with the vampire brides is both smart
the actors make the best of it. As Lucy, Jennifer Joan Thompson is flirty and fun at first, and believably seductive and creepy after her transformation. Lee Stark’s Mina is a model Victorian heroine, smart, tough, but also vulnerable. Tom McElroy has to work through some of the play’s most troublesome dialogue as Van Helsing, and Jason Bradley and Erik Hellman are solid in the relatively unflashy roles of Harker and Seward, respectively. Rochester audiences may recognize Wade McCollum as the Emcee from Geva’s 2008 production of “Cabaret.” Here he plays the title character, and he infuses Dracula with a more menacing version of the lithe sensuality he brought to the Kit Kat Club. At first, his ancient, withered Dracula can barely contain his desperation to escape to the flesh-filled streets of London. Once he arrives and is reenergized, he’s practically cool as a cucumber, more amused by his adversaries than aggressively fighting against them. There are moments where that chill façade cracks, and McCollum erupts in an almost bestial fury. Overall, it’s a more restrained performance than you would normally associate with one of the great scenery-chewing characters of literature. If you’re looking for over-the-top, you’ll find it with Dietrich Gray’s portrayal of Renfield. The show does a poor job of explaining Renfield; he’s a madman in an asylum who has a connection to Dracula, but it would seem to predate Dracula even arriving in London. In any event, Renfield is nuts, and Gray plays him almost totally for macabre laughs, providing the show with some much-needed energy. There is nothing subtle in Gray’s performance, but he’s entertaining. So it’s probably no coincidence that the playwright chose to open the show with Renfield, who offers a baffling prelude in which he identifies himself as a fictional creation of Bram Stoker. The playwright’s respect for the original author and work is appreciated. But given the massive changes in social mores and narratives between Stoker’s time and ours, I can’t help but think that taking certain liberties with the script as a whole might have given the show a bit more life.

Resilience, control, connection, and energy. Everyone has some knowledge of these four universal themes, but few know them better than the 13 local teen cancer survivors that have come together to share their collective life stories at the 10th annual Journeys Celebration of Living. Photographer Carrie Mateosian has collaborated with the teens to create “Shoot Me 4 Living: Many Voices, One Story,” an art exhibition and live performance directed and inspired by teen cancer survivors. The event will be held at the Wolk Center at Temple B’rith Kodesh (2131 Elmwood Ave.) on Saturday, October 22, at 6 p.m. and will include Mateosian’s exhibit, dinner, and a chance to meet and speak with teen cancer survivors.

Thing one, thing two, thing three [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“The Thing” (R), directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr. Now playing
In 1951, at the beginning of a golden age of science fiction, “The Thing From Another World” reflected the Zeitgeist with uncomfortable accuracy. Its story of a powerful, malevolent creature from outer space touched on the overriding Cold War dread of invasion, and its conflict between science and military action endorsed the prevailing attitudes toward matters of the mind. As contemporary history demonstrates,

despite 60 years and several different enemies, little changes in America — politicians still trade on fear and intellectuals remain a favorite target. John Carpenter’s 1982 remake of the earlier film, while closer to its source in a short story by William S. Campbell, transformed its basic materials into horror, employing a shape-shifting monster very different from the humanoid vegetable of the original. Its menace, a phenomenon whose appearance and methods derived from the brilliant special effects of another science-fiction flick, “Alien,” suggested a threat to human identity itself, with an underlying theme of the failure of trust in a small community. The ambiguous ending completely negated the final words of the first movie, which commanded Americans to watch the skies for Martians (and Russians). The new version pays homage to both predecessors, copying the title sequence and some material from the first and virtually duplicating the situation and plot of the second. It also serves as an almost academically pat

prequel to the second picture, even ending with an exact repetition of the sequence that Carpenter used to initiate his particular horror. As in the Carpenter movie, a team of researchers in Antarctica, Norwegians this time, stumble upon a space ship buried beneath the ice, and bring its inhabitant, also immured in ice, back to their station, a big mistake as any veteran of science fiction or horror knows. A pompous, domineering scientist, Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen) convinces a young American paleontologist, Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) to travel to the Antarctic to examine the alien; departing from the patterns of the previous films but echoing “Alien,” Kate becomes something like the hero of “The Thing.” The movie proceeds in the expected manner, as the dictatorial Halvorson, thirsty for glory and a place in history for the discovery of a craft and a creature from some distant planet that landed on Earth some 100,000 years ago, forbids any contact with the outside world. He disregards Kate’s expert opinion, and through his stubbornness manages to release the being from the block of ice. After that, in the grand tradition, all Hell breaks loose. The metamorphic menace rampages through the station, not only killing the workers, but absorbing and replicating them, in effect becoming the people it attacks. The picture settles into a series of ingenious variations on some shocking and disgusting transformations. When not duplicating human beings, the alien resembles

Gory days [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” (R), directed by Eli Craig Screens Friday at the Little
“The Last Circus” (R), written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia Screens Tuesday at the Little
a compendium of quite unpleasant creatures — it wields gigantic crablike claws, tentacles that pierce bodies, serpentine probes, a hideously toothed orifice that swallows the workers whole, and detachable limbs with squidlike digits that scurry around and jump into the mouths of the victims. The smartest, most sensible person on the base, Kate devises a method of testing the humanity of her colleagues, which naturally angers Halvorson; unfortunately, his obstinacy and the powers of the monster defeat all her efforts. The monster’s abilities and her experiment underline the dominant themes of this and the second version of the film — both raise the familiar horror film question about just what it means to be human. Since the monster also erupts out of the people it devours and replicates, the movie suggests that the hideous beast dwells not only out there somewhere but also inside human beings; the monster is us. The cast of unknowns, many of them European, performs competently within the necessary confines of two genres dedicated to shock and violence — neither horror nor science fiction requires the skills of the Royal Shakespeare Company or the Stanislavski Method. Aside from the relatively rare notion of making the primary female actor the hero rather than the victim, the nicest touch involves the fact that Ulrich Thomsen closely resembles the negative scientist in the original “Thing From Another World” in appearance as well as personality, a genuine homage to a classic from the past.
Whether due to ignorance (ours) or inbreeding (theirs), the American hillbilly has long been misunderstood. Pop culture often presents our rustic cousins as a slightly deranged mix of overalls and underbites, each with an illegal distillery bubbling somewhere near their ancestral shanty. Even acclaimed films, from 1972’s “Deliverance” to 2010’s “Winter’s Bone,” have done nothing to shatter the stereotype of the imbalanced hick, and who knows how “Coal Miner’s Daughter” might have ended if Loretta Lynn hadn’t pursued music? All I’m saying is that movies have conditioned us to associate a backwoods lifestyle with rape, murder, and rusty stepsides, so when the nubile young people initially cross paths with the sketchy rednecks, we can’t help but fear the worst.
Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine in “Tucker & Dale
vs. Evil.” PHOTO COURTESY MAGNET RELEASING
But the beauty of Eli Craig’s grisly, goofy “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” is that it takes those expectations and shoots them right down, like so many tin cans off a big ol’ stump. We first meet Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) as they’re headed to Tucker’s new vacation cabin, “a fixer-upper” in the mountains of West Virginia. It’s at a gas station that Tucker and Dale encounter the college kids, who dismiss the admittedly grungy pair as creepy hicks, though it doesn’t help that when the smitten Dale, at Tucker’s urging, tries to chat up the cute Allison (Katrina Bowden, “30 Rock”), he’s clutching a tall scythe and giggling maniacally. Dale had confessed to being “a zero with the ladies,” you see, and Tucker advised him to smile and laugh: “It shows confidence.” “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” shifts into gear once Tucker and Dale save Allie from drowning, only to have their helpful shout of “We’ve got your friend!”, delivered from across the lake, and in the moonlit dark, misinterpreted by Allie’s camping companions. What ensues is a slapsticky comedy of errors, which finds Allie’s friends laying siege to the clueless Tucker and Dale to reclaim Allie but inadvertently meeting their maker in gruesomely inventive ways. The college kids, led by the bloodthirsty and heavily backstoried Chad (Jesse Moss), are convinced that Tucker and Dale are doing the killing, while Tucker, who has just witnessed a young man dive head-first into a wood chipper, believes that Allie’s friends are in the throes of a suicide pact. Of course you can see what we’ve got here; “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil,” which screens as part of the Little’s week-long “Project 5: Horror” series, is a “Shaun of the Dead” type of parody that mocks nearly every 80’s horror-film cliché, including the one where the frat-jerk victims are so obnoxious that we really don’t mind
seeing them, say, on fire. Labine is sweet as the lovestruck Dale, wearing his feelings on his torn flannel sleeve, but it’s the chameleonic and underrated Tudyk, last seen as John Turturro’s sidekick in the recent “Transformers” but probably best known from the original “Death at a Funeral,” who steals the show as the sensible Tucker. Their bromantic chemistry goes a long way toward compensating for the film’s labored final act, which reminds us that in movies there is no such thing as a throwaway detail. I know a surprising number of adults who
are afraid of clowns, and after witnessing the bizarre, macabre Spanish horror flick “The Last Circus,” I might now be one of them. A prologue set in 1937 introduces us to a clown yanked from a performance and forced to fight against Franco’s army, then a quick hop to 1973 narrows the focus to his adult son Javier (Carlos Areces), newly employed by a floundering circus also as a clown, albeit a sad one. His boss Sergio (Antonio de la Torre) is a happy clown as well as a sadistic drunk who gets particular (and mutual) pleasure from roughing up his masochistic acrobat girlfriend Natalia (Carolina Bang, easily the best name ever). Javier grows increasingly demented as he tries to realize his dream of saving the wildly codependent Natalia from the brutal Antonio, and “The Last Circus” — also part of the Little’s “Project 5: Horror” — takes a Grand Guignol turn once Javier decides that the way to win Natalia is to become more like his violent rival. Writerdirector Álex de la Iglesia’s script probably features a bunch of political symbolism that I didn’t pick up on in the face of all this eye candy. Cinematographer Kiko de la Rica seems to favor saturated colors, which lend the images a lush surreality, a la del Toro, or Jeunet, or Lynch, that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
THE TINGLER
Wednesday, Oct. 19, 8 p.m. The Tingler posits fear as a disarmingly physical thing —a scaly, black whatsit that gnaws at the spine until the victim shrieks. LSD-tripping scientist Price finds the perfect experimental subject in the deaf-mute wife of a cinematheque operator: she can’t scream and so, in her death throes, unleashes the Tingler upon sleepy Los Angeles.

THE SHINING Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Vincentennial
Saturday, Oct. 22, 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. An unstable writer (Jack Nicholson) takes a caretaking job at a snowed-in mountain lodge, succumbs to “cabin fever” — or is it something far worse? — and terrorizes his hapless wife (Shelley Duvall) and psychic son (Danny Lloyd). A brilliant study of domestic abuse and possession, this is Kubrick’s horror masterpiece as you’ve never seen it, complete with a chilling coda cut from the original release. (Stanley Kubrick, UK 1980, 142 min.)

Golden Craftsman Home 149 Nunda Boulevard The Cobbs Hill neighborhood, nestled on the slope of Cobbs Hill, has winding streets, historic lamps, mature gardens, and picturesque houses. At its center, Nunda Boulevard has a broad, green mall, designed by landscape architect Alling DeForest. The houses on this street were designed in the 1920s for employees of Rochester’s Gleason Works. At one end of the street is the entrance to Washington Grove, with acres of forested pathways. Atop the hill, the water reservoir is a popular place to run, walk or simply enjoy the view of the city skyline (www.rochestercityliving. com/neighborhoods/cobbs-hill). The Arts & Crafts style house at 149 Nunda Blvd is situated on a double-sized lot. It has sand-colored brick, a tiled roof and appealing green trim. The broad front porch has built-in trellises and a charming porch swing. Halfwalls with handsome plantings frame the natural wood front door. Unlike the dark wood found in many Craftsman homes, this home has an abundance of warm, honey-colored gumwood trim. There are golden narrow-plank wood floors throughout, some with inlaid designs, and leaded glass windows. All the rooms are painted in serene earthy tones, and many have new period-appropriate mica and art-glass lighting fixtures. The recent paint, new high-efficiency heating and air conditioning, and updated kitchen and bathrooms make this historic home inviting and move-in ready. The living room has two French doors that open to the front porch. A brick wood-burning
fireplace is framed by built-in bookshelves and casement windows. The generous dining room has a coffered ceiling, bay window, and Arts and Crafts wallpaper border.

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Bureaucrat’s Delight: An update of the official index for classifying medical conditions (for research and quality control, and for insurance claims) was released recently, to take effect in October 2013, and replaced the current 18,000 codes with 140,000 much more specific ones. A September Wall Street Journal report noted, for example, 72 different codes for injuries involving birds, depending on the type. “Bitten by turtle” is different from “struck by turtle.” Different codes cover injuries in “opera houses,” on squash courts, and exactly where in or around a mobile home an injury occurred. “Walked into lamppost, initial encounter” is distinct from “walked into lamppost, subsequent encounter.” Codes cover conditions stemming from encounters with extraterrestrials and conditions resulting from “burn due to water skis on fire.” “Bizarre personal appearance” has a code, as well as “very low level of personal hygiene.”
Ironies — A small number of environmental and animal rights activists employ violence and physical threats in attempts to achieve their goals, and similar tactics have recently been used by another group bent on intimidating scientists: sufferers of “chronic fatigue syndrome.” London’s Observer reported in August that medical researchers who even suggest that the illness might have a “psychological” component have been subject to vitriolic abuse, stalking, disruptions to the scientists’ workplaces, and even death threats. In at least one case, the activists succeeded: A psychiatry professor said he had moved his area of research from chronic fatigue to Gulf War syndrome. “That has taken me to Iraq and Afghanistan where ... I feel a lot safer.” — Political Correctness Lives: British authorities threatened Iain Turnbull, 63, with a fine (equivalent of $1,530) in August because he refused to complete the mandatory census earlier this year. Turnbull, from Wales, was protesting that the government,
intending to be progressively “inclusive,” made available census questionnaires and instructions in such languages as Urdu, Punjabi and Tagalog -- but not Welsh (one of Britain’s native languages, spoken by a half-million citizens). — Although the Patriot Act, drafted in the days after 9-11 and quickly enacted into law, was designed expressly to give prosecutors more leeway to challenge suspected terrorism, one of its key provisions has since then been used more than 100 times as often for drug investigations as for terrorism. New York magazine reported in September that “sneak and peek” warrants (enabling searches without notifying the targets) have been obtained only 15 times for terrorism threats but 1,618 times in drug cases.
Compelling Explanations — Cicero, Ill., Town President Larry Dominick, the defendant in sexual harassment lawsuits filed by two female employees, gave depositions in the cases, in March 2009 and February 2011, but provided challenging answers on one issue. Asked in 2009 whether he had “ever touched” the plaintiff, Dominick, under oath, said “No.” However, in 2011, Dominick (again under oath) gave a narrative of his relationship with the same plaintiff beginning in 2005, admitting that he had had sex with her numerous times at her home. (Dominick claimed to have misinterpreted the earlier question.) — Unclear on the Concept: (1) Pennsylvania state Rep. Michael Sturla, an opponent of increased natural-gas drilling in his district, warned in August that one effect of the drilling would be an increase of sexually transmitted diseases “amongst the womenfolk.” (He said later that he had heard that from a hospital administrator.) (2) Nicholas Davis was arrested in a public park in Seattle in August while, according to a police officer, “masturbating violently.” The officer said Davis explained, “There just isn’t enough free love in Seattle.”
[ SOLUTION TO 10-05-11 PUZZLE ON PAGE 38 ] [ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Socialize and have fun, but make sure you also wear your heart on your sleeve. Allowing others to see the real you will lead to interesting propositions. It’s your turn to pick and choose, but be aware that someone with jealous tendencies is not your best choice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your gut instinct will tell you to take the path of least resistance. The person who argues and wants to try to change you is the one from whom you should run. The partner who loves you for you should win your heart.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It is best to steer clear of anyone you meet through work. Mixing business with pleasure will eventually backfire, causing financial limitations that are not conducive to developing a long-lasting relationship. Don’t jeopardize your livelihood or a good friendship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are hot and will attract a lot of serious attention when it comes to love, romance and commitment. Get out and participate in social events that are conducive to meeting other singles. Don’t shy away from someone because he
or she has personal responsibilities to children or parents. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be torn between what you have and what you want. Look outside your circle of friends when it comes to finding love. Don’t rely on someone else to introduce you to someone new. It’s up to you to observe the people you meet and to approach whomever interests you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get out and explore places you’ve never been. Interacting with people from different backgrounds will lead to interesting conversations, as well as a deep connection with someone who can offer you personal
opportunities that will get both your heart and your head racing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone from your past will take an interest in you. Don’t hesitate to reunite with old friends. You will benefit if you make a promise to someone who has as much or more to offer as you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Jealousy and over-aggressive behavior will work against you when it comes to love and romance. Chill out. Take a back seat and let potential partners come to you. The less interested you appear, the more interest you’ll attract. Don’t reveal your true feelings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be walking a fine line when it comes to love. Lending a helping hand will help you meet someone extraordinary, but it will also make you vulnerable to being taken advantage of if you aren’t careful. Make sure that you get as much in return as you offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may not recognize that someone is interested in you personally. Look at the signals being sent in your direction; you may be surprised by the attention you are receiving. Your status is about to change for the better through a personal connection you make.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not everyone will appreciate you or be as receptive as you’d like. If you stick to those who show an interest, you will discover that the people you have more in common with are probably the ones you should be considering as a life partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid joint financial ventures with anyone you think you may want to date. Love is in the stars, but you should consider being with someone only if he or she shows an interest in who you are, not what you have.
