Why Occupy must succeed Rochester has a proud history of protests, and a particularly important one — Occupy Rochester — is taking place right now in Washington Square Park downtown. The local Occupation is part of the national Occupy Wall Street movement protesting the nation’s growing wealth disparity, corporate power, and corporate greed.

The protests have come at a crucial time, as public concern over the nation’s future mounts and Americans prepare for a crucial federal election. Will the Occupy movement have any effect? It needs to. But it will have to continue to grow. And it will have to last.

In New York City, Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo, Occupy protests have been permitted to be true occupations: 24-hour encampments. In Rochester, however, city officials have defined the parameters of the protest, insisting that Occupiers vacate Washington Square Park between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. That has raised major First Amendment concerns. And in the process, City Hall has begun to look much like the Establishment many Americans protested in the 1960’s.

RCSD problems reconsidered

City’s coverage of the challenges facing the Rochester City School District continues to neglect some essentials.

The suggestions made in “The ‘Testification’ of Schools in America” (guest commentary, October 5) — including to “deemphasiz[e] standardized testing” — have been largely pursued by RCSD for decades. In order to fill in idealized classrooms, standardized scores and objective criteria have been selectively ignored. Look at the academic histories of SOTA or East High School, for example. This has on the one hand undermined grade-appropriate educational opportunities in the city, and on the other hand supported an arrangement where 17-year-old black male RCSD students are on average “performing at the same level as white male students who are 13 years old” (to quote City’s June 8 “Eye on Education” article).

The ongoing poverty-based explanations are largely politically correct detours away from the underlying cultural crisis in the city, found most prominently within parts of the African-American community. The relevant symptoms of this crisis include very low educational priorities and additionally behavioral problems, in particular among teens.

These pose big challenges for RCSD, beginning with how to limit the fallout from the behavioral problems. This crisis will ultimately have to be addressed within that community itself, as was pointed out in a Bob Herbert column in the New York Times last year (“This Raging Fire,” November 16, 2010).

City

The repeated claim that only 5 percent of RCSD students graduate collegeready is misleading. People who cite the 5 percent figure fail to look at the national average, which is that only 25 percent of American students clear this hurdle.

Given RCSD’s demographics — with 64 percent black and 22 percent Latino students — the 5 percent figure may be roughly on par with the associated national norms.

Also, a larger relevant context missing in City’s coverage is the nationwide descent of education into evermore electronic distraction. Studies of the impact of the arrival of computers with internet access in low-income homes observed “significantly lower” and “pronounced drops” in the associated student test scores. The situation certainly doesn’t support requests for more technology money for RCSD. I close with some observations gleaned as a volunteer tutor of Rochester students (mostly from RCSD) and also in the past as a college instructor.

Raising the artificially low academic ceilings imposed on interested students — whatever their aptitudes and backgrounds — should be a big priority for RCSD. Seeing what happened to city school graduates as they moved out of apparently “good behavior gets you an A” regimes and into objectively demanding college curricula (including tests!) was a very unpleasant eyeopener for me. My tutoring experiences now are somewhat complementary to the city school scene — bad behavior gets students quickly booted from the library, and I concentrate on helping those who show up (my earlier motivational efforts among others showed very limited payoff).

Tutoring has also brought me face to face with the enormous differences between individuals — most strikingly between siblings.

This demands flexibility in teaching and curricula, but not to the point where most RCSD fifth graders I see

don’t know their multiplication table and where my parochial kids seem to (appropriately) get twice as much homework.

What were those ‘letters’?

I was perplexed and somewhat appalled at the lack of sensitivity you showed to the large deaf community in Rochester by using a photo representing hands in the shape of letters, though to a deaf person, and one who knows sign language (even many schools offer it as a foreign language here) or even just their ABCs would look at that photo and wonder why they were encouraged to VORE? (Election coverage, October 26).

I finally realized that that thing between the “O” and the made-up “E” was supposed to be a “T” but really looked like a bad version of a manual alphabet ASL “R.” I asked several colleagues and deaf students what they thought of it, and they were equally perplexed and appalled.

Whose brilliant idea was it to NOT use ASL for this picture? If you were afraid that the people who wouldn’t know ASL wouldn’t get it, you could have had placards behind or in front of the REAL hand shapes with the letters printed on it.

But there are a great number of people in Rochester who know sign language and would understand what that was, even if they didn’t know all the letters. Really bad form people. Really really bad form.

(Gibson is a sign language interpreter for the deaf.)

Occupy, pro and con

The Occupy movement might gain some traction if they could figure out what they are protesting, exactly, and what they hope to gain.

In all other protest movements, the protesters have had specific goals (“out of

Vietnam” or “stop aborting babies” or whatever).

The whole “we are the 99 percent” thing is a bit of a stretch, since it’s somewhat nonsensical. Okay — you are part of 99 percent. So what? Maybe I’m being dense, but this appears to be a self-righteous sleep-over about nothing in particular.

B SARBANE

Most people have been following stories from the mainstream media, and that’s why there is a big misunderstanding about the movement. The movement is getting bigger, not smaller. Why is that? Because the overall gist is that our government is broken. If the movement were to start choosing exact demands at this point, people who didn’t care about those issues would drop out.

Once the decision-making process is complete, more specific demands can be formulated. I’m sorry if it’s not quick and easy to understand, but real democracy is messy and it takes a while. Those who mock the Occupy movement aren’t really involved. Occupy Rochester is putting many of their General Assemblies on Livestream for everyone to see. I suggest you check it out. www.livestream.com/occupyrochesterny DAVE ATIAS

How many lead-paint abatements could be paid for with the overtime this will cost the city? This has got to be the most narcissistic, self-regarding, self-righteous protest “movement” in the history of the earth.

At least the Tea Partiers (who are just the flip side of the cheap populism that pervades Occupy Wall Street) were willing to expose their bad ideas to the light of day. It would seem that the “Occupiers’” inability or unwillingness to put together even the simplest outlines of their goals (so far, getting on TV and in the paper seems to be chief among them) reflects both the absurdity of some members’ positions and the often contradictory

(if not hypocritical) nature of their “goals.”

I also find it bizarre that Occupiers claim that this mess is what “real democracy looks like,” while making demands of politicians that would have them operate in a unilateral and undemocratic fashion (throw the bankers in jail, suspend the curfew, etc.). If the movement wants to be “about” anything other than itself, it needs to move forward with at least some coherence. If not, it is easily dismissed as an exciting adventure for those who protest everything and accomplish nothing.

GOODGOV

I attended the Rochester March on November 3, and did make some attempt to count. Not counting the 20-plus officers assigned to “ensure safety and keep the peace,” I would estimate the crowds at 350 to 400 at least, at their height. I would also point out that, unlike what is often implied by mainstream media, the majority of the protesters would not be classified as “unemployed young hippies.” In fact, I saw as many 35-plus in the crowd as under, and a large number were between 35 and 50, educated, and some even attended with children (myself included).

I marched as a single, doctor mom, a public employee and union member, and as a supporter of the working class (both middle and lower earning).

I marched for all those who WOULD work and WANT to work, but can’t. Even for the employed, many are finding that their positions supply less than a “living wage,” given health-care costs and inflation on gas, groceries, and utilities.

I support the Occupy movement 100 percent. I will pay my share of taxes without complaint. The “super rich” must do so too.

Our democratic government must ensure some equity and provide some level of support for what is becoming a lost generation of young adults.

EDITORIAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Why Occupy must succeed Rochester is a city with a proud history of protests. Women’s suffrage, abolition, anti-war, civil rights, labor rights, education: generation after generation, Rochesterians have mounted large, often effective protests on the major issues of the day. And right now a particularly significant protest, Occupy Rochester, is taking place in Washington Square Park, under the gaze of the statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Also significant is an outgrowth of that protest: the dispute between City Hall and the Occupiers over First Amendment rights.

Occupy Rochester is part of the national Occupy Wall Street movement protesting assaults on democracy and justice — assaults that, to me, are among the most serious in this nation’s history.

Growing wealth disparity, corporate power, and, yes, blatant corporate greed threaten to erode basic social safety-net protections, wipe out job and educational opportunities for many Americans, and put government in the hands of a few. If we go much farther down this road, the United States will be a democracy in name only.

The Rochester protest began at the Liberty Pole downtown and in front of Bank of America. It has since moved to Washington Square Park, a beautiful little public square of grass and trees surrounded by Geva, St. Mary’s and First Universalist Churches, and the Bausch & Lomb headquarters. The park’s history makes it an appropriate place for this demonstration: it was Rochester’s first public park, and it has been the site of numerous protests and public gatherings around important civic issues. One of the city’s most revered protesters, Frederick Douglass, gave speeches there.

Under city regulations, the park is closed between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Rochester Occupiers want their protest to be like many of the others around the country: an encampment, an ongoing, 24hour event consisting of public addresses, community meetings, news sharing, eating, and sleeping.

City Hall has decided to enforce its park closing rules, however, and on October 28, police arrested 32 people who refused to leave the park at 11 p.m.

Since then, there have been more arrests.

Occupy members have asked that the charges be dropped — and that protesters be permitted to stay in the park overnight.

Mayor Tom Richards is adamant.

He doesn’t have the power to drop the charges, he says. “I don’t arrest,” he said in a City interview last week, “and I don’t un-arrest.” And he won’t permit a

24-hour Occupation. “The law that is in place now does not allow for camping there,” he said.

Richards also insists that staying beyond the park’s closing hours, camping overnight in the park, isn’t protected by the First Amendment. “It’s not a form of speech,” he said. The Supreme Court has ruled on that issue, he says.

And yes, it has. In a 7-2 decision in 1984 — Thurgood Marshall being one of the dissenters, by the way — the Court said that government has a right to forbid camping in a public park, even when that camping is done as part of a protest.

In the 1984 case, a group called Community for Creative Non-Violence wanted to create encampments in Lafayette Park and on the Mall in Washington, DC, to call attention to homelessness. The National Park Service issued permits for the encampments and said protesters could erect tent cities in the parks. But, the Park Service said, protesters could not sleep in the tents because camping — “defined as including sleeping activities,” in the Court’s words — was not permitted in either of the two parks.

Courts have also said that free speech is not an unlimited right, that, for instance, “government can make reasonable stipulations about the time, place, and manner a peaceable protest can take place,” notes a recent ProPublica post on syracuse.com, “as long as those restrictions are applied in a contentneutral way.”

And so the Supreme Court has sided with Richards. He has the authority to deny the protesters’ request. But he is not required to. He could grant the request, if he chose to do so, as government officials in other cities have. The New York Civil Liberties Union and its local branch, the Genesee Chapter, want him to do just that.

An Occupy Rochester 24-hour stay-in is a form of speech, they say. continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Disgraceful stats

The Children’s Agenda released a report that pointed to some troubling trends. Between 1999 and 2009, the report says, the number of Monroe County children living in poverty increased.

There were also increases in the number of children suspected to be victims of physical or sexual abuse or neglect, and in the number of homeless families in emergency shelters. Countywide median income decreased.

On the bright side: more children have health insurance, and there were fewer cases of children with elevated lead levels in their blood.

SOTA squared

PRESERVATION | BY JEREMY MOULE

A city school board committee discussed the possibility of opening a second School of the Arts.

SOTA outperforms every city high school, and is highly sought by parents and students. But there are numerous considerations, including whether sufficient demand exists for a second SOTA.

Upper-floor living hits the ‘burbs

Communities across New York have taken an interest in redeveloping the upper floors of their historic downtown buildings.

Brockport is one of the latest. The village will study the feasibility of developing loft apartments in buildings within its downtown historic district. An architectural consultant will work with interested building owners to develop conversion concepts and rough cost estimates. The work will be funded by a state grant.

NAEP scores for NY mixed

The National Assessment of Educational Progress released results for fourth- and eighth-grade exams in reading and math. New York was the only state in the country that showed a decline in fourth-grade math scores, but the state has made progress in closing the achievement gap between white, black, and Latino students. NAEP is often referred to as the nation’s report card.

A month after winning praise for making design

The village is also hosting an upper-floor redevelopment workshop this month, presented by the Preservation League of New York.

Brockport has had some success with loft redevelopment. Brockport businessman Mark Lewis converted third-floor space in two of his buildings, into a total of four lofts.

He says demand for the apartments has been high.

“It’s definitely something that owners who are inclined to should consider,” he says.

Some buildings in Brockport’s downtown historic district have spaces that aren’t used or aren’t producing as much revenue as they could, says Bill Andrews, chair of the

village Preservation Board. The board has been promoting the concept of upscale upper-floor rentals.

From an economic perspective, upper-floor development would bring in new downtown residents who would patronize businesses. From a preservation perspective, rent income gives property owners more money to use to maintain their businesses.

The redevelopment workshop is 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16, at Brockport Village Hall, 49 State Street. It costs $10, and organizers ask that anyone interested in attending RSVP by November 9: (585) 637-5300 Ext. 12, or lmorelli@ brockportny.org.

Cost of War NEAD will attempt to ease people into healthier diets by gradually changing what the store carries. In the beginning, you’ll be able to get your snack cakes, but little by little the junk food will be replaced with fruits, vegetables, and other healthy options.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

NEAD’s mini-market makeover Mini-markets in the city generally have an unfavorable reputation. Critics say they drag down neighborhoods and take advantage of people with little choice and few resources.

Neighborhoods like Rochester’s Beechwood have responded by getting zoning laws changed, and by fighting the opening of new mini-markets. But North East Area Development, which serves the Beechwood area, is trying something new: the neighborhood group will buy and operate its own mini-mart.

NEAD is buying the Beechwood Home Grocery right across the street from NEAD’s office on Webster Avenue. The group closes on the building this Friday.

“We’re excited about it,” says NEAD’s executive director, George Moses. “We think it’s a better tool than just enforcement.”

The NEAD Freedom Market at 359 Webster will open almost immediately — probably this Saturday, Moses says. It will operate from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.

“We hired neighborhood residents, and we’re training them to understand why we eat what we eat and how to infuse healthier options into our diet,” Moses says.

Employees will interact with customers, he says, to help them make healthier food choices.

NEAD will attempt to ease people into healthier diets by gradually changing what the store carries. In the beginning, you’ll be able to get your snack cakes, for example, but little by little the junk food will be replaced with fruits, vegetables, and other George Moses. healthy options.

PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK “It’s a long-term process,” Moses says. “The community’s going to witness this transformation.”

Moses says he knows the store can work because NEAD set up a farm stand next to Beechwood Home Grocery as a kind of test run, and the stand was successful. That proves, Moses says, that healthier eating is about access, not choice.

NEAD is getting help with this project from organizations including the Greater Rochester Health Foundation and Foodlink. Moses says the goal is to open the store, tweak the model, and hopefully open more stores in the city.

The profit from NEAD Freedom Market will be reinvested into the store and the community, Moses says, through things like jobs and new product lines.

Rochester’s new schools: a mix of promise and caution A year after the city school district opened five new high schools in a sweeping attempt at reform, a Center for Governmental Research evaluation gives a moderately upbeat, but cautionary report on the schools’ progress.

The new schools — Early College; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math High; Robert Brown High School of Construction and Design; Vanguard Collegiate; and Integrated Arts and Technology — opened in the fall of 2010.

In general, the schools performed better than the district as a whole, the CGR report says. Students’ GPAs were higher. And many ninth-grade students had already earned five credits, which can be an indicator of progress toward graduation, says CGR’s Kirstin Pryor.

But results on state exams for the new schools were mixed. In head-tohead comparisons of passing rates, the new schools generally performed better than the district as a whole, but not dramatically so. The explanation could be rooted, the report says, in a lack of consensus about what constitutes instructional rigor and high expectations by teachers and students.

Surveys revealed that 92 percent of students and 95 percent of teachers in the new schools said expectations are high for students’ behavior and work. But that was not the conclusion CGR reached after multiple classroom observations.

“We saw classes where students were allowed not to work, answers were freely given to students if they raised their hands, work was very low-level, and little or no responsibility for learning was placed upon the students,” the report says.

Another concern: while attendance in the new schools was higher than in the district, so were suspension rates.

Bolgen Vargas, interim superintendent of city schools, wouldn’t comment on the CGR report.

In an effort to provide students and

parents with a choice of quality high schools, the city school district took an ambitious and controversial course of action: it began phasing-out its poorestperforming schools last year and opening new schools.

The plan to open the new schools was developed under former Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, under pressure from the State Education Department.

In January 2010, the SED identified 34 persistently low-achieving high schools: nine of them were in the Rochester school district. Closing low-performing schools and opening new schools is one of the reform options allowed by the SED. CGR’s report is not meant to be a predictor of success or failure for the new schools, Pryor said. Instead, she says, it is more of a benchmark for future evaluations.

But the report is important for several reasons, she says. It’s not unusual for a new school, with its fresh culture and physical environment, to perform better than established schools in its first year, Pryor says. But as the school grows and

adds more grades, it becomes challenging to prevent a reincarnation of the problems characteristic of low-performing schools.

Also, the city’s new schools received financial support and resources from grants and state funding. But that funding is temporary, and eventually the district will have to entirely support the schools.

“We know that the phase-out, phase-in approach is the more expensive approach to remediating troubled schools,” says Interim Superintendent Vargas.

It is also, he says, disruptive to students and parents. And it isn’t always successful at improving student performance.

Rochester has closed, opened, and reconfigured schools in the past with little success. And there are many skeptics who

don’t believe the new schools will succeed.

The success of the schools will depend greatly on the ability of teachers and principals to improve student engagement and make a higher level of work the norm, the CGR report says. And CGR has recommended that all of the new schools report to the same school chief.

The district has to do a better job of recognizing the indicators of problems early on and then monitoring progress toward solutions, Vargas says.

“In the past, we would come up with a plan and declare victory before it was even implemented,” he says.

Decision time for schools project The city school district is under pressure to find swing space — somewhere for students to go while their schools are being remodeled — for the first phase of the schools modernization program, says Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas.

Gilbane/Savin, the construction firm managing the work, has told district City

NOVEMBER 9-15, 2011

officials they need to find swing space quickly if construction is going to begin in the spring. It’s one of the reasons Vargas has recommended closing School 6. Another reason, he says, is to save money.

School 6 would be swing space for School 17 while the latter undergoes construction during the $1.2 billion, 15-

year program to renovate and modernize city schools. Coordinating swing space is a complicated patchwork that requires advance planning and smooth transitions, since mix-ups and delays can increase costs.

Vargas recommended closing School 6 because it’s one of the poorest-

performing schools in the district in English and math. And only 15 families selected School 6 as their first choice for enrollment this school year.

WHY Occupy MUST SUCCEED continues from page 3

There are many ways to protest, and Americans have used them since the beginning of the country’s history: marches, picket lines, sit-ins. And encampments: peaceful occupations of public space to call attention to injustice.

This form of protest is not new. Similar actions have ranged from encampments on university campuses focusing on the needs of the homeless to the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign encampment on the Mall in Washington. The point is occupation. Staying put.

“Occupying,” wrote protester Dana Spiotta on occupysyracuse.org recently, “means refusing to go away.”

“The duration is a crucial component,” Spiotta wrote. “The press and the attention of the whole world have come because of the relentless sleeping and living in Zuccotti Park.

The protest isn’t over when the rally is over. It isn’t over when the IMF or the WTO meeting is over. In that way it is more like a sit-in or a strike — all historically very powerful tactics.”

“Our economic injustices are chronic,” Spiotta said, “and so then must be the protest.”

And note what a mild form of occupation this is. The protesters are not trying to occupy the major banks and investment firms, the root of much of the Occupy movement’s criticism. They are not trying to occupy the

offices of the federal government, although it is the federal government that permitted the creation of the financial crisis. In cities throughout the country, they are occupying public parks, of which they are part owners.

Reading the statements coming out of City

Hall, and hearing the silence coming from City Council, I wonder if the Democrats who run the place understand the image they’re fashioning. They look like the Establishment so many of us rebelled against in the 1960’s.

Richards is particularly vulnerable on this point, since in his previous life he was a corporate executive, got a substantial payment when he left, and has brought other corporate executives into his administration.

The folks at City Hall aren’t the only ones with an Establishment viewpoint, of course.

You hear the language everywhere you turn, in Rochester and elsewhere: “The protesters are a fringe group.” “They can’t tell anybody what they want, what their point is.” “They’re disorganized.” (It’s no small matter, of course, that “properly organized” Establishment institutions have gotten this country into the mess it’s in.)

“What if they turn violent?”

Violent acts

by Occupy participants have been rare, but as usual, they’ve made the headlines. And as usual in anti-Establishment movements, Establishment interests seize on those isolated incidents to shape the story of the Occupation and try to turn public sentiment against it.

The Establishment reaction to the Occupy movement reminds me of the reaction to civil rights, Black Power efforts in Rochester in the 1960’s. As activists brought in Saul Alinsky to help organize the FIGHT organization, and FIGHT pushed for a job training program at Kodak, the Rochester Establishment was appalled — and obviously perplexed. Protesters weren’t pressing their concerns in the proper way: the way disagreements were discussed in Rochester’s corporate board rooms and country clubs.

Rochester’s mayor doesn’t express his denial of a full Occupation in those terms. He is, he says, simply enforcing city law and doing his duty to protect public safety. He isn’t preventing the protest. He’s simply insisting that it conform to park rules.

But Richards himself voiced an interesting objection in City’s interview with him last

week. Occupy Rochester, he said, “is not connected, as far as I can figure out, with anything they’re protesting about.”

“In the civil rights protest,” Richards said, “if you went and sat in the front of the bus and got arrested, the two were connected. But the idea of not camping in the park is not related to stopping the war in Afghanistan. And so we’ve got a fundamental disconnect here.”

So does this mean that all of us who took part in anti-war protests during the Vietnam War weren’t really protesting because our candlelight marches down Broad Street weren’t directly related to the napalming of children in Vietnam and the bombing of Cambodian villages? (In fact, at that time several Rochester protesters did do something more starkly connected to the war: they marched into some of Rochester’s mainline churches and carried caskets down the aisles, disrupting the worship services. And hoo boy, did that cause a stir.)

In a November 3 blog, the New Yorker’s Hendrik Hertzberg quoted Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, who first supported Occupy

Occupying Rochester: Protesters have gathered and marched at the Liberty Pole and in front of the Bank of America building at East and Main and in Washington Square Park.

Atlanta but has since done an about face, having 50 protesters arrested and clearing out the park they were occupying. “The attitude I have seen here is not consistent with any civil rights protests I have seen in Atlanta,” Reed had told the New York Times, “and certainly not consistent with the most respected forms of civil disobedience.”

Observed Hertzberg: “Whether he’s right about Occupy depends on whether the Bonus Army (1932) and the Poor People’s Campaign’s ‘Resurrection City’ encampment (1968, after Dr. King’s assassination) count as ‘most respected’ or just respected.”

The Bonus Army is an interesting precedent. The Depression threw many World War I veterans out of work, and while the federal government promised them a bonus, they couldn’t collect it until 1945. Frustrated and desperate, thousands of veterans, family members, and supporters gathered in Washington and created an encampment in a public park as a protest. While police and military troops eventually forced an end to the encampment, some historians credit the Bonus Army occupation with helping

defeat President Herbert Hoover in the 1932 election. Several years after Franklin Roosevelt’s election, the veterans got their bonuses. And their protest contributed to the creation of the GI Bill of Rights.

In many Occupy cities, incidentally, veterans are among the protesters, and it was a veteran who was wounded by police late last month during the Oakland, California, protest.

Many critics assume that the Occupy

movement is a youth movement, carried on by students and young adults who don’t have jobs. In fact, Occupy is more diverse, in age, than it is given credit for. But young people are heavily involved, and that is significant. Young Americans are often accused of not being involved in civic life.

The Rochester Establishment — business and government leaders — spends a great deal of energy trying to reach out to young adults, to get them to stay here and be involved in the community. A lot of them are involved. And some of them are expressing that involvement at Washington Square Park.

It’s encouraging that throughout the country, young people are so heavily involved in Occupy. They were involved in the 2008 presidential campaign, helping send Barack Obama to the White House. Since then, Obama has disappointed, dismayed, and discouraged many of them — for reasons that form part of the base of their protest. The past few years might have turned them off from politics completely; instead, they are a major force in the Occupy movement.

Many Americans are worried about the problems of wealth disparity, joblessness, and corporate greed. But Republicans in Washington have been shouting down the concerns, peddling the message that equality is class warfare and that fair taxation will kill jobs.

Democrats, for the most part, have cowered in the corner. Until Occupy Wall Street, hardly anybody was doing anything in response.

Will the Occupy movement have any effect?

Only if political leaders listen and act. Occupy has been compared frequently to the Tea Party movement, and certainly the Tea Party has had an effect, yanking the Republican Party sharply to the right and gaining an influence on national policy that is larger than the movement’s numbers (or its public support).

Could Occupy have a similar impact?

In a New Yorker column last week, Hendrik Hertzberg concluded that “translating the visionary protest of the Wall Street Occupiers into the grubby Washington politics of electoral calculation and legislative maneuvering is unlikely to be as easy as it was for the Tea Partiers and the Republicans.”

“The Tea Party,” Hertzberg wrote, “is simply better adapted to — and, despite its angry face, less alienated from — the actually existing environment of American politics and government.” And, Hertzberg noted, the Tea Party has gotten money — lots of it — from the Koch Brothers’ PAC and Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks “while Fox News and talk radio provided it with a ready-made apparatus for organizing and propaganda.”

Significantly, the Tea Party set out almost from the beginning to put Party sympathizers in office, targeting less conservative incumbents in Republican primaries. Republican leaders got the message and, said Hertzberg, “the impact on Republican governance, if that’s the right word, was unmistakable.” Republicans in Congress are behaving in a way they never would have if it weren’t for Tea Party pressure.

It’s too early to know whether Occupy will gain that kind of influence. At the moment, continues on page 10

WHY Occupy MUST SUCCEED

activism | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

continues from page 9

much of the Establishment — inside politics and outside — seems dismissive.

But the Occupiers have a lot going for them.

Polls have repeatedly indicated that most Americans are deeply unhappy with the federal government and that Congress is less popular than President Obama.

Most respondents in a recent Time magazine poll said they feel that the political debates in Washington aren’t addressing their concerns. Ninety-three percent said they don’t consider themselves a member or a follower of the Tea Party movement. A majority said their opinion of the Occupy protest is “very” or “somewhat” favorable.

And on a couple of key Occupy issues: 86 percent said they agree that “Wall Street and its lobbyists have too much influence in Washington,” and 79 percent agreed that “the gap between rich and poor in the United States has grown too large.”

With much of the American public concerned about the issues Occupiers are protesting, Republicans ought to be worried. They don’t act as if they are, though. And sadly, 56 percent of the respondents to the Time poll said they think the Occupy movement will have “little impact on American politics.”

That probably reflects the depth of Americans’ disappointment with their government and their distrust of it and of the larger American “system.” Americans, Isabel Sawhill wrote in a Brookings article last month, used to believe that they had unlimited opportunity, that hard work would pay off. Now, said Sawhill, “they are coming to believe that the system is rigged against them, the deck stacked in favor of Wall Street and against Main Street.”

In fact, the system is rigged against many Americans. And those whose interests are enhanced and protected are doing all they can to make sure that it stays rigged.

For Occupy Wall Street and those of us hoping for its success, it’s not that we think life itself must be fair. It’s that we don’t think government, its laws, and its services should favor those whose money gives them the most influence.

Success for the Occupy movement is

dependent on continuing occupation, and the attention that produces, in cities throughout the nation. Some critics argue that the local Occupy movement is irrelevant to Occupy Wall Street, since Wall Street is in New York, not here. But that assumes that Wall Street’s actions have an impact only in Manhattan. And so in Rochester, protesters must be permitted to occupy Washington Square Park overnight.

The Occupation is a form of speech, and they must be permitted to exercise it.

Occupy DIGS IN

Occupy Rochester participants, like those in cities around the country, are protesting the nation’s growing wealth disparity and corporate power and are urging a more equitable tax policy. Photo by matt deturck

The mayor doesn’t have to side with the protesters. But he can recognize that this is a First Amendment issue, and that the protesters’ rights take precedence over park rules. He can meet with the Occupiers, explain his concerns about public safety, and get an agreement on such things as sanitation.

And yes, if Richards permits Occupy Rochester to stay overnight, that would mean that he would have to do the same with other protests — regardless of how unpalatable or controversial the subject. That’s what the First Amendment is all about.

If Richards doesn’t change his mind, City Council — which has been characteristically silent on the issue — ought to intervene.

And if the law won’t permit protests like this one, Council can amend that law.

It is important that the Occupy movement continue and grow, here and elsewhere. A year from now, Americans will elect a new president (who, by the way, could very well name one or more new members of the Supreme Court). We will elect a third of the members of the US Senate and all of the members of the House of Representatives. The financial problems of the United States didn’t create themselves. They were created by powerful financial interests, and government let them do it. The disparity between the rich and the rest of the country didn’t happen by itself; government let it happen.

The Occupiers are calling attention to those problems in a way that no one else has. They must continue to do that — and more of the 99 percent must join them.

And government must not restrict their right to protest.

Is Rochester’s Occupation a form of speech? The NYCLU says yes, but Mayor Tom Richards says no.

It’s about the 47 million without health insurance. It’s about insurmountable student-loan debt. It’s about families losing their homes in unfair foreclosures. It’s about the unconscionable chasm between the haves and have-nots. It’s about corporate royalty who loot their companies so they can guild their parachutes.

Don’t tell Rochester’s Occupiers that they don’t know what they want or who they are.

“We know exactly what we want and exactly what we want to do,” says Occupier D.J. Krause, who was one of about a dozen Occupiers in Washington Square Park last Friday afternoon. “It’s about everyone who has a stake in the world to get out and fight for their future.

It’s a freewheeling horizontal democracy; an open-air research-and-development lab.

“People with ideas come here,” Krause says. “There’s no limit to what we can accomplish.”

Saying he is speaking only for himself, Krause says he wants a moratorium on residential foreclosures in Rochester, civilian oversight of the police, and a stop to urban-development projects that gentrify communities, among other goals.

But Occupy Rochester’s ability to work toward its objectives is stymied, he says, because it has been forced into a fight for Washington Square Park. Rochester police have been enforcing the park’s 11 p.m. closing time since Occupy decided to attempt a 24-hour encampment there almost two weeks ago. There have been around 50 arrests. And Mayor Tom Richards says he will not, under any circumstances, allow Occupiers to camp in the park.

“They can use the park all day and half the night,” he says. “The only thing we’re saying is, ‘You can’t set up a permanent village and live in it. There’s no place for you

to live. There are no facilities for you. And we don’t grant those rights to anybody.’”

Of all Upstate cities, Rochester has been

the toughest on its Occupy group. In Buffalo, the Common Council waived the fee for Occupy Buffalo to stay in Niagara Square. Occupy Syracuse has had coffee delivered by the city’s mayor. The Albany district attorney has said he won’t prosecute trespassing citations related to the Occupation. And Albany officials have decided not to enforce an 11 p.m. curfew in Academy Park. (Governor Andrew Cuomo says he will enforce the curfew in the stateowned part of the park, though.)

Richards says city regulations do not allow camping in Rochester’s parks. But the City Code isn’t that cut and dried.

It says: “No person shall camp in any park without a permit in writing from the Commissioner.” The commissioner mentioned is the commissioner of Recreation and Youth Services.

No matter what the code says, however, it’s clear that Richards isn’t going to budge.

Consistency is critical, he says, and you can’t make exceptions because someone has a cause or because the politics of a situation are complicated. In cities where Occupiers have clashed with police, Richards says, part of the reason was that the people in charge weren’t clear about what is allowed and what is not allowed. He says he wants to avoid that happening here.

“It’s not like I’m keeping them from being effective,” Richards says. “All of the periods of time in which anyone would notice their protest, the park is open and they’re free to do it.”

Richards says dealing with Occupy is difficult because, so far, no one has been allowed to speak for the group.

“It doesn’t give me anything to work with,” he says. “And I’d like to work with them.”

But Krause says Occupiers want Richards to come to one of their general assemblies, which take place every day but Saturday. The mayor has come to the park during the afternoon, Krause says, when there’s hardly anyone there.

“He’s playing games,” Krause says.

“He likes to hide behind all of these little reasons he can’t talk to us.”

And then there’s the First Amendment. The

NYCLU’s Genesee Valley Chapter sent More events and info.: a letter to Richards www.occupyrochester.org last week saying that cracking down on the Rochester Occupation violates the spirit of the amendment.

Italy close to home [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

If thoughts of Viking stand mixers, Italian “00” flour, and white truffle butter make you swoon, carefully fold this newspaper, tuck it under your arm, and go immediately to the Piano Works Mall in East Rochester.

That’s where you’ll find Rosario Pino’s Artisan Foods, a heaven on earth for anyone who likes to prepare food or, for that matter, just eat it.

At the end of September owner Gary Pino opened the shop next to his Concept II Fine Kitchens & Baths and named it in tribute to his father, the son of Italian immigrants and a local produce wholesaler.

The beautifully furnished space is bursting with an outstanding array of products, such as imported pastas and sauces, herbs and spices, oils and vinegars, cookware, snacks, and even olive oil-based skin care. Oh, gluten-free? No problem; Rosario Pino’s carries an extensive selection of GF pasta and baking mixes, many of which will be available to sample at a gluten-free open house Thursday, November 10, 5-8 p.m.

(RSVP to the shop if you’d like to attend.)

Located at the back of Rosario Pino’s is a gleaming demonstration kitchen (it’s

got seating for 20 people) that plays host to local chefs who teach cooking classes in the evenings and on Saturdays. Upcoming instructors include Jay Speranza from Tony D’s Coal-Fired Pizza and Rosita CaridiMiller from Mendon caterers Cibi Deliziosi.

Rosario Pino’s comprehensive website lays out the full class schedule.

Debbie Maruke is the in-house chef at Rosario Pino’s; she does cooking demos as well, and it’s her culinary talents you’ll be enjoying once the shop expands into takeout/prepared food territory in the coming weeks. And with the holidays looming, keep in mind that cooking classes make for a thoughtful gift. You know what they say: give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to cook that fish and he just might make you dinner.

Rosario Pino’s Artisan Foods is located at 349 W. Commercial St., Suite 1620, East Rochester. Store hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended hours planned for the holidays.

Let the food times roll

Lucky for us, you can’t swing a rack of ribs in this town without hitting some decent

barbecue (see Dinosaur, Sticky Lips, Unkl Moe’s, et al.). And though you’ll still be able to scarf down some saucy pulled pork at both outposts of the newly rechristened The Beale, from here on out it’s going to be less Memphis, more Big Easy. For 14 years The Beale Street Café had Cajun fare represented on its menu, but now owners Terry and Pam Bauer are making that deliciously complex mélange of French, Caribbean, and African influences (to name but a few) their focus.

Along with a few barbecue holdovers, The Beale: A New Orleans Grille & Bar features Crescent City favorites like gumbo, jambalaya, po’ boys, and étouffée, as well as Beale exclusives such as the Bourbon Street Plate ($9.99) — that’s mac salad and fries smothered in pulled pork, chili, and cheddarjack cheese — as well as a smoked-meat orgy called The Big (Un)Easy ($11.49), which sandwiches pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked turkey breast, barbecue beef, melted Monterey Jack, and coleslaw in a giant roll.

And rest assured that The Beale’s commitment to live, local blues remains firm.

The Beale is located at 689 South Ave. and 1930 Empire Blvd. The city location is open Monday-Thursday 11:30 a.m.-10

Confession time! Despite having a wicked sweet tooth, I had been slightly (read: stunningly) snobby about the mysteriously enduring mania for cupcakes, which, as far as I knew, were still pretty much just cake and buttercream. So it was purely in the name of professional investigation that I popped into the newest location for Sugar Mountain Bake Shoppe, a sweet little spot on Monroe Avenue with a cozy faux fireplace and a truly impressive display of about a dozen types of Sugar Mountain’s acclaimed cupcakes. Both the new digs and the flagship on Alexander Street (it shares space with La-Tea-Da Tea Room, on the corner of Park Avenue) rotate through a selection of more than 90 varieties, showcasing flavor combinations both classic and inventive.

In a totally journalistic manner, complete with squeaky giggling, I decided upon one Chocolate Merlot (chocolate merlot cake filled with chocolate merlot ganache and topped with chocolate merlot buttercream; $3.50) and one Irish Coffee (espresso cake filled with Bailey’s whipped cream and topped with Jameson buttercream; $4.50).

Then I proceeded to bring them home and research the hell out of them. My findings were indisputably yummy. Forgive me, cupcakes; I understand now.

The new Sugar Mountain Bake Shoppe is located at 1697 Monroe Ave. in Brighton.

It is open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Drenched in a genuine casual cool, The Pixies has always been a group that lets the music supply the drama. I mean, for as utterly intense as this band sounds, its members so do not look the part. But then again, a quick eyeball across the crowd of around 4,000 gathered Wednesday, November 2, at the Main Street Armory for the band’s Rochester stop on its “Lost Cities” tour, and well, maybe they do.

The Pixies anti-style mirrors its sonic practicality. When the band came about in the early 80’s, it was if its music needed to be done, and this was the band to do it. Dissonant but still beautiful, it made perfect sense and had no pretense; like practical shoes and mini-vans. Not much there to see, but necessary.

Anchored in sensible shoes, and arriving at the Armory via tour bus, The Pixies launched multi-layered elegance and raunch like a haymaker punch to the head. This is the second show I’ve recently seen at the Armory — the first being the The Flaming Lips — where the sound was appropriately loud, but reigned in enough to make sense and not draw blood. We’ll talk again after Judas Priest, but to be honest I’m not holding out for a hat trick.

After the rather dark Salvador Dali/Luis Bunuel film “Un Chien Andalou” flickered

and faded to black, the band launched into four “Doolittle”-era singles. The fans, some bordering on rabid, ate it up and sang along. The second song, “Weird at my School,” galloped with a kind of space-cowboy ferocity and was my favorite of the night, along with the band’s surf single version of “Wave of Mutilation.”

With spots throughout the set for each member to shine — particularly guitarist Joey Santiago’s Gold Top surreal splashes of punctuation and emphasis — the band still came across cohesive and unified, the weight of its influence still relevant and no doubt coercing musicians today into the blast and beauty. The Pixies made as much sense as the band ever did. The ripples and waves continue.

Friday night I caught an installment of the third season of WXXI’s “OnStage” series at the station’s State Street studio.

First band up was Cruelty Free, a most excellent trio in the pop-rock vein. The band was full of tight hooks and chunky chords with just the right amount of crunch. But with the show now operating without a host (Julia Figueras, I miss you), the band seemed a little lost. Behind the watchful eye of the studio’s fleet of cameras was an eager audience that needed to be worked a little bit.

“I’m not going to let radio playablity effect what I do,” says risk-taking chanteuse Rene Marie. PHOTO PROVIDED

Defiant beauty René Marie & Experiment In Truth Sunday, November 13 Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 111 N. Chestnut St. 5 p.m. | $20-$35 | ExodusToJazz.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

Listening to René Marie’s “Voice of My Beautiful Country,” you might be stirred by her gorgeous reinventions of American classics like “O Shenandoah” and “John Henry” or struck by her fresh take on pop songs like “Just My Imagination” and “Drift Away.” But, toward the end of the album, your listening experience will be turned upside down.

Marie sings “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing” (the so-called Negro National Anthem) and “The Star-Spangled Banner,” but she sings the lyrics of each with the melody of the other. Beautiful, and subtly subversive, the musical inversion recalls the intensity of Nina Simone’s mid-1960’s “Mississippi Goddam.”

The idea came to Marie as a result of an interview she did before a performance in Russia when the reporter referred to her as an American. “My immediate mental response was she made a mistake,” says 16 City NOVEMBER 9-15, 2011

Marie, who performs in the Exodus to Jazz series Sunday. “I almost spoke up to correct her, but I caught myself. I’m thinking, Why would I think that?”

On the flight home she thought about her experience growing up. Had anybody called her an American in the United States? Growing up in the South under Jim Crow laws, she remembered walking past restaurants with signs saying, “No dogs or niggers.” She remembered her parents’ attempt to desegregate a lunch counter.

“I realized when we go through stuff like that, the majority of African Americans don’t really process it because it’s too painful to deal with,” says Marie. “Once the Civil Rights Act was enacted in all 50 states and that kind of thing gradually went away, nobody sat down and said, ‘Let’s examine what happened here. How did it affect our psyches?’ [It was] onward and upward, not time to look back.”

When she sang patriotic songs like the “The Star-Spangled Banner” she welled up with emotion, but deep inside she realized something was wrong. “That phrase ‘land of the free, home of the brave,’ even musically speaking that’s the highest note in the song.

It’s sustained. That’s a beautiful sentiment, but it doesn’t apply to me or people who

look like me,” Marie says. “I wanted to take those same songs, I wanted to retain the lyrics — that same beautiful thought and imagery — but I wanted to change the music to reflect something more like it was for me growing up in this land of the free and home of the brave.”

Predictably, radio stations are not playing those tracks. “I’ve got to tell you, I’m not thinking about that shit when I’m writing,” says Marie. “I’m not going to let radio playablity effect what I do.”

That defiance might be a result of achieving

her dreams late in life. Marie was 42 when her son called her from a restaurant. “He said, ‘Mom there’s a woman singing here.

She’s singing all the songs that you sing at home and she’s terrible.’ Out of curiosity I drove up to the restaurant,” she says.

“I thought wow, I can’t believe she’s getting paid for this because, while her voice was pleasant, she was singing unconvincingly,” says Marie. “My son said, ‘Mom, you know you can do better than that.’ I said I’m too old to get started singing.”

But she had sung as a teenager and, encouraged by her son, she called a friend who had a jazz quintet. The group had a gig at the local Marriot and she asked if she could

sit in. Within 18 months she had her own group and was ready to record her first CD. “The night before we were going to record it, my ex-husband — my was-band — gave me an ultimatum: ‘If you leave and go to that recording studio, don’t come back home,’” says Marie.

They were Jehovah’s Witnesses, which she calls “a perfect setting for women to be subservient. We had set up those conditions and this was a continuation of it,” says Marie. “The night ended with violence.

When he was finished I got up and I just left. I never did go back. I grew up with that kind of stuff and I knew, this is not going to happen to me.”

Her mother helped her finance that first album, which Marie sent to clubs, radio stations, newspapers, and record labels. The strategy worked perfectly in Washington D.C. A Washington Times writer found it in a pile of rejects and liked it so much he wrote a positive review. Unbeknownst to her, Washington radio stations were playing it and, when she called a D.C. nightclub, she got a gig.

It got better. The critic called the president of the Max Jazz Record label, who happened to be in D.C. for a meeting.

Not wanting to take a chance, she brought in two busloads of people from home — Richmond, Virginia — to support her.

“The president approached me during the break and asked me to record for his label,” says Marie. “I thought this is probably some smooth-talking, fly-by-night, slick guy. But it turned out it was a legitimate offer.

Since then, she’s switched to the Motema label, which recently did something highly unusual. In addition to the “Beautiful Country” album released last spring, another album by Marie, “Black Lace Freudian Slip,” came out last month. “The president wanted it to be a one-two punch,” says Marie.

The most meaningful tune for her on that album is “Deep In The Mountains.” It was written by the same son, Michael Croan, who encouraged her to start singing 15 years ago. Croan is a singer and composer, and he accompanies her on the song, which is more gospel than jazz.

In fact, Marie takes this album into territories a long way from jazz. “There are two or three songs that people will say shouldn’t have been on the album. They’re more country & western or bluegrass,” says Marie. “But that’s my background, my primordial soup from which all this other stuff sprang. I’m not going to put these songs on the back burner just because it’s not somebody else’s idea of what I should do. I would rather die thinking I’m glad I did than I wish I had, so here I go.”

JAZZ | Marilyn Lerner, Lou Grassi & Ken Filiano Trio

Few musicians wear as many harmonic hats as Canadian pianist Marilyn Lerner. She is a superb, experimental musician who has garnered praise from Montreal to the Ukraine. Lerner’s interests range from jazz to klezmer to contemporary classical music and she has shared the stage with greats like Tito Puente and Steve Lacy. As a composer she has won the Montreal International Jazz Festival award for best composition. At this Bop Shop-sponsored concert she’ll be joined in group improvisations by two equally adept musicians, bassist Ken Filiano and drummer Lou Grassi.

Marilyn Lerner, Lou Grassi & Ken Filiano Trio performs Friday, November 11, 8 p.m. at Physikos, 302 N.

POP | BEN FOLDS

Whether he’s conducting the audience or hitting the brown note, which in theory could cause folks to require a change of underpants, Ben Folds offers an immersive concert experience. OK, the brown-note thing is scientifically unproven, but regardless, Ben Folds is an engaging and prolific pottymouthed showman that ought to be counted as a musical genius. Not since Elton John or Billy Joel has a rock star got so much mileage from playing the piano. At only 45, he recently released “The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective” which is a three-CD anthology of his illustrious career with Ben Folds Five and later as a solo performer.

METAL | Judas Priest

When I first heard Judas Priest was playing the Armory I immediately pictured that 1950’s fraternity prank where you try and see how many people you can get in a phone booth. And with Black Label Society and the remnants of the legendary Thin Lizzy also on the bill? They’re going to have to grease up the loading-dock doors to get all that metal in there. Judas Priest are metal gods, and though earlier recordings from the band’s 30-year history had them sounding a little more progrock, there has always been metal in there. The band blew through town a couple years back on its “British Steel” tour.

Black Label Society’s front man Zakk Wylde is a monstrous shredder with Viking good looks. Though just about every original member is dead or gone, Thin Lizzy is still the most significant band on the bill in regards to metal. Listen to Scott Gorham’s guitar and we can sit there together and point out which metal or hard-rock artists went on to rip him off.

More than making it up 2011 Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative Festival Thursday, November 10-Sunday, November 13 [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

When you’re brought up playing classical music out of a book, you probably cringe when someone asks you, “Can’t you just sit down and play something?” For some students of classical, this often-heard phrase is as good as being asked to play ragtime or jazz, genres that evoke that notion of complete abandon from what’s on the page. So imagine what happens when 200-plus international organists descend upon Rochester to spend several days talking about and performing improvisations on classical themes from the great J.S. Bach to holy music of the Renaissance to Wurlitzer theater songs.

You might have the impression that chaos is about to burst through the pipes of the organs of Rochester — an idea quickly put aside by two masters in the field, William Porter and David Higgs, who are among the hosts for the conference.

“Improvisation is a method,” says Porter, “there are techniques and methods that you practice. You do not just sit down and play whatever comes into your head.”

Higgs says, “Improvisation is not where you sit down and the muse comes to you and you’re the vehicle for some kind of cosmic music. Improvisation follows a form and a harmonic language.”

Porter is a professor of organ and historical keyboards at the Eastman School of Music.

He is all about the “recovery” of an historical approach to organ performance. Higgs, chair of the department, inaugurates organs in the United States and Europe, engages in regular concert tours and master classes, and speaks passionately about the capabilities of and sounds of these instruments. Higgs is after the organs that will provide the best sound for improvisations.

Porter chanced onto improvisation while

he was attending graduate school at Yale University and working as a church organist with an instrument he hated. “I was getting discouraged,” says Porter, “so I started examining the organ for which notes sounded OK and which ones did not, and I started selecting which notes to play. This gave me an incentive to start making things up.”

The congregation noticed what Porter was doing, and gave him positive reinforcement.

That was when Porter realized that improvisation was “not a scary thing.”

From that simple beginning, Porter went on to spend decades improving his craft and learning the methods of the past. He has taught at Oberlin College (his undergraduate alma mater), New England Conservatory, and Yale Divinity School. He has been music director at the Church of St. John the Evangelist and artistin-residence at First Lutheran Church, both in Boston. He is currently on faculty at ESM and McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

During our interview Porter offered his narrative of the 700-year history of organ repertoire and improvisation, a history filled with the likes of Frenchman like Marcel Dupre.

“Dupre,” says Porter, “created an improvisation course with complex chordal progressions in all keys, keyboard harmony, and counterpoint.” Dupre’s improvisations also evolved into published compositions, as with his “Symphonie – Passion,” which he first performed in a Wanamaker Department Store on a Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia in the 1920’s.

Students of improvisation are taught to transcribe improvisations as a method of learning the progressions of themes undertaken by the masters. It turns out that when an organist lists “composer” as a credential, it could also mean the virtually unheard-of title in the American halls of classical music, “improviser.” “So much of the music you hear today had its origins in improvisation,” says Porter. “Once you write down an improvisation and time goes by, it becomes repertoire.”

employer church for the liturgy, hymns, preludes, postludes and the like.

“Everybody improvised in the church,” says Higgs. “They didn’t write it down — paper was quite a thing, to have printed things was a big deal. They would write down particularly good ones. Otherwise music was sorted in the finger memory, so-called ‘muscle memory,’ and that was how people learned.”

When Higgs takes to the organ to improvise, he will be performing at Christ Church on the Craighead-Saunders organ, unveiled in 2008 as a reconstruction of the largest and best-preserved late Baroque organ, built by Adam Gottlob Casparini in 1776 in Lithuania. “I will take inspiration from the instrument, a central German-style organ that Bach would have known,” says Higgs. “My improvisations will resemble something that would have been heard in the churches of the late 18th century in Germany.”

Higgs credentials are likewise lengthy and distinguished, starting with bachelors and masters degrees from the Manhattan School of Music. Higgs has been music and choir director and/or organist at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church (Berkeley, CA), Temple Emanu-El (San Francisco, CA), and New York City’s Riverside Church and Park Avenue Christian Church. And Higgs lists extensive performance credentials, including the inaugural concerts of organs from St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Vienna) to St. Ignatius Loyola (NYC).

Higgs admits that he also plays R&B. “Any form that you might find written out in music can be improvised,” he says. “You take a tune you know and put it with material you don’t. It’s the expected versus the unexpected.”

Higgs is on a quest for “authentic sound.” His

Joining Porter and Higgs for EROI’s

goal is to make Rochester a global center for organ performance, research, building, and preservation. He’s in the right place for that lofty goal. When Eastman School of Music opened its doors in 1921, it housed the largest organ collection in the nation. Higgs’s list of organ projects in Rochester is an unbeatable resume.

The Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative started in 2001 “because at Eastman we had one of the greatest schools for learning to play the organ in the world,” says Higgs. “Since 1921, the organ department has been at the top of the heap worldwide. Students come from all over the world to study here.”

For Higgs, the styles of organ improvisation are as diverse as the organs, themselves, and he wants to create opportunities for organists and audiences to hear the actual sounds of the different styles. Higgs explains that churches would select a certain kind of organ to have their musical offerings meet the edicts of the particular church. Organists would then be expected to perform “in the style of” their

improvisation festival will be other worldrenowned organists, including Hans Davidsson, Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra, David Peckham, Jeffrey Brillhart, Sophie-Veronique Cauchefer-Choplin, and Bruce Neswick.

Brillhart is director of music and fine arts at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania, and is a lecturer in organ improvisation at Yale University. Brillhart will perform in two different concerts on Saturday, November 12.

Cauchefer-Choplin is currently on faculty at the Royal College of Music in London, and has served as the organist at St. Sulpice in Paris.

The French liturgical tradition includes huge, full improvisations after the service. CaucheferChoplin will perform in two different concerts on Saturday, November 12.

Davidsson teaches organ at the Eastman School of Music and is project director of EROI. He also established the organ research center at Göteborg Organ Art Center in Sweden. In 2004, Davidsson was awarded continues on page 22 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 21

ART | Experiments in AV Series

On Thursday, November 10, 7-9 p.m. Visual Studies Workshop (31 Prince St.) will kick off a new “Experiments in AV Series” with a presentation of “Live Cinema” by Potter-Belmar Labs (pictured). The same day, “13 Views in Arid Lands,” a panoramic time-lapse installation Potter-Belmar Labs, will open in VSW’s Bookstore Gallery. The work presents scrolling 360 degree views of “dry and lonely Southwest American landscapes,” per the provided press release. “From deeply ambient textures to moments of turbulence, concrete imagery gives way to abstraction, and themes emerge and recede.

The results may recall a vivid dream, a visual symphony, or an abstract opera.” The exhibit runs through December 18.

The series continues the following week on Thursday, November 17, 7-9 p.m. with “Public Domain,” six videos by media artists using public-domain materials from the Film/ Video/Audio Collection of Library and Archives Canada. Both presentation nights take place in the VSW Auditorium, and are free and open to the public. For more information, call 4428676, or visit vsw.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Mon-Thu 9 a.m.-11p.m., Fri 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sat-Sun 2-6 p.m.

You are legend “Polaroid Stories” Through November 20 Bread & Water Theatre, 243 Rosedale St. $6-$12 | 271-5523 breadandwatertheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

The glory days of Zeus, Ra, Odin, and their respective pantheons may be long gone, but myths stay with us. These iconic tales connect with humans on a primal level. Some offer explanations for the way the world works — the changing of the seasons, for instance — while others speak to the tragedies of ordinary people tossed around by the capricious winds of fate. Thousands of years after these stories originated, they continue to be told in a variety of ways.

Naomi Iizuka’s “Polaroid Stories,” the current production by Bread & Water Theatre, situates various characters from Greek myth in late 20th-century urban America. The play succeeds in showing why some of these mythological concepts still speak to modern humans, while also noting that we all have our own deeply personal stories — we are all living and creating our own myths. The majority of the cast does a good job exploring the material, but some rough edges rob the production of some of its impact.

26 City november 9-15, 2011

Bringing classic myths into a modern context is nothing new. The “Percy Jackson” series, the work of Neil Gaiman, and even “The Matrix” films make smart modern use of a variety of mythological concepts. In “Polaroid Stories” a handful of familiar Greek characters are modernized and interact with one another in a seedy urban wasteland.

The vain Narcissus is now a preening, self-important male hustler; party god Dionysus is a drug dealer; and so on.

These icons interact with two modern mortals, referred to in the program as Skinheadboy and Skinheadgirl, and familiar cycles play out between the gods and mortals, and between the mythological beings themselves. Some interesting concepts arise here: these creatures are defined, even trapped by their narratives; humans generally behave like selfish children demanding much of their gods but appreciating little.

Many of the actors in the show turn in solid performances. Chad Edmonds immerses himself fully in the role of Narcissus, and brings some much-needed levity to the show in his well-delivered, attention-baiting monologues. Casey Siegel is believable as the nihilistic Skinheadboy, tweaking and freaking out at various intervals. Leah Camilleri is convincing as Persephone, here cast as a boozy, lovelorn prisoner who has resigned herself to her fate. Paul Nellis and

difficult to overlook the problems with this production, and even in the play itself. Iizuka introduces some meaty concepts, but several plot and character threads go absolutely nowhere. I’m not sure if this Iizuka’s fault or the responsibility of director Shawnda Urie, but certain scenes, especially anything involving Philomel, seem pointless.

The script’s often-repeated dialogue — potentially a nod to the cyclical nature of myth — becomes tiresome after a while, and the constant use of obscenities and slang feels less representational of urban youth and more like caricature as the play goes on.

Beyond that, the production needs polish. Even taking into consideration the limited resources of a fairly young community-theater troupe like Bread & Water, you can’t excuse some of the sloppiness that plagued the production on the night I saw it. Cast members clomped around backstage as they made their exits and entrances. There were abrupt sound cues. And the set, while visually interesting, created noisy distractions every time people brushed against the chain-link fence or kicked the cans strewn about the floor.

These seem like minor things, but they disrupt the magic of the theater and take the audience out of the story.

The most egregious example on the night I attended was when the production ground to a halt while the tech crew struggled to get the fog machine and light effects working.

The real tragedy here is that the visual tricks added nothing to the scene. On a related note, a slide projector is used periodically, especially near the end of Act II. I assume the images had some relation to the action onstage, but I have no idea what. From where I was sitting the light was obscured by a fence bisecting the set, and I could not make out any of the projections.

Ambition is great — we are lucky to live in a city with groups like Bread & Water that find interesting, relatively obscure works that raise serious questions about the human condition. But if you’re going to aim high, you need to be able to deliver consistently. “Polaroid Stories” has a lot going for it, but it also has some production issues that hold it back.

FILM | “Megunica”

The first time a friend introduced me to “Big Bang Big Boom,” the stop-motion animation video by Italian street artist Blu (and a very talented production team), my jaw not only hit the floor, it ran around the room in circles. The intelligent, impressive endeavor animates, through time-lapse video that squishes three months of work into 10 minutes, Blu’s paintings and detritus found kicking around the streets and spaces of Bologna, Rome, Senigallia, Modena, Reggio Emilia, New York, Caracas, and Buenos Aires.

On Thursday, November 10, at 7 p.m., the Little Theatre and Rochester Contemporary Art Center will present a joint fundraiser and special one-night screening of “Megunica,” the new film about Blu, preceded by a screening of the 2010 “Big Bang Big Boom,” and followed by a talkback with the director, Lorenzo Fonda, led by Tom Gasek of RIT’s School of Film and Animation. “Megunica” travels across South and Central America, providing a glimpse into the life and work of Blu. Tickets are $10, or $8 for members. For more information, call 258-0444, or visit thelittle.org or rochestercontemporary.org.

“Tower Heist” reflects with considerable humor, polish, and verve a number of subjects familiar to anyone who follows the news, “Tower Heist” especially those millions suffering from any of (PG-13), directed by Brett Ratner the devious actions that triggered the Great Now playing Recession. Ben Stiller plays Josh Logan, the manager of a sumptuous high-rise apartment Beyond the fact that we all harbor at least a building in Manhattan; located on Columbus grain of larceny in our hearts, the big caper Circle, right by Central Park, it is obviously flick generally places the audience on the the Trump Tower, perhaps the most expensive wrong side of the law. The films always focus address in New York City. He runs a tight ship, on the meticulous planning and ingenuity supervising a corps of highly efficient employees of the thieves, after all, thus enlisting the who provide just the right amount of obsequious viewer in the gang. Such a film revolving coddling that the wealthy always demand. around revenge against a fraudulent financial The fabulously wealthy Arthur Shaw (Alan manipulator should speak even more directly Alda) occupies the penthouse apartment, an to audiences in our time. amazingly posh accommodation complete with its own rooftop swimming pool.

decorating his living room. Beneath his genial surface, however, Shaw turns out to be a crook, arrested for fleecing investors out of billions of dollars; worse, he even stole all the money invested with him by the Tower staff.

Confined to the rigors of house arrest in his posh apartment, Shaw knows that his sharp lawyer will beat the rap, and smugly rejects Josh Logan’s pleas for some consideration for the impoverished Tower employees. Resolving to steal Shaw’s fortune, Logan assembles a comical crew of victimized staff to plan a big caper; he also brings in a former childhood friend, a petty thief named Slide (Eddie Murphy), to show the gang just how to go about the business of theft. Eddie Murphy’s several droll bits in his instructions to the crew and eventual execution of the plan demonstrate the comedy that often underlies the big caper flick and once again emphasizes the attractiveness of the crooks, making us all complicit.

As in any caper movie, the plan depends upon split-second timing, complicated maneuvering, and several stratagems and subterfuges that surprise the audience and baffle law enforcement.

The gang avoids the surveillance of the security cameras, constructs a series of feints and tricks, and in the long, exciting robbery sequence itself, execute their plot in the middle of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Overcoming several obstacles, including their own incompetence, they manage a final daring act that may inspire intense acrophobia in the most phlegmatic viewer.

Like prison and military films, the caper flick also depends upon an ensemble cast, who in the comic versions constitute a whole cereal box of nuts and flakes. In addition to Stiller and Murphy, “Tower Heist” features a handful of goofy amateurs, played by Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Michael Pena, and Gabourey Sidibe, who mostly perform in harmony with each other and the demands of the script. Even Affleck’s whispery voice seems less annoying than usual, and though grown surprisingly puffy and dissipated, Matthew Broderick acquits himself adequately.

Playing his part with deadly seriousness, Ben Stiller represents a nice contrast to Eddie Murphy’s various exaggerated comic ploys, which recall his work in some earlier films, like “48 Hours” and the “Beverly Hills Cop” movies. Impersonating a figure who combines the personalities of Donald Trump and Bernie Madoff, two of the more noxious examples of contemporary capitalism gone wild, Alan Alda seldom varies the smug smile he deploys in every situation, but he also makes a most convincing villain, who finally gets everything he deserves.

In addition to the fun in the story and the success of the performances, the cinematography in “Tower Heist” simply dazzles. The camera roams all over New York, from Astoria to Central Park, capturing the beauty of a number of familiar locations and imparting a rare glamor to a sometimes gritty and violent genre.

This year marks the 14th installment of the Rochester Polish Film Festival, which this weekend brings to town eight features and six shorts from a country often (and frustratingly so) absent from the American arthouse. Sponsored by the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies at the University of Rochester, the Polish Film Fest has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in the mid-90’s, with current Polish cinema supplanting the largely archival selections available to the festival in its early years.

Filmmaker Feliks Falk will be on hand when his WWII drama “Joanna” kicks things off opening night at the Dryden, then the festival moves to the Little, where highlights include Lech Majewski’s acclaimed period piece “The Mill and The Cross,” starring Rutger Hauer as Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel, as well as the three films I got to preview. So read on, then visit the festival’s website at rochester.edu/ college/psc/CPCES for more information.

Tomasz Kot in “Erratum.” PHOTO PROVIDED

With her Marilyn hair and hypnotic curves, Kitka’s mom seemed, to her young daughter, larger than life. And even though she’s been dead for a decade, her blowzy spirit continues to hang heavy over those she left behind. Growing up amid tombstones with her stonemason father, Kitka (Helena Sujecka) has long been open to communicating with her late mother, but Ryszard Brylski’s darkly comedic coming-of-age tale “A Wonderful Summer” recounts the time her mom decided to lovingly meddle from beyond the grave. Kitka’s dad dulls his widower’s pain with alcohol, while her secretive grandfather’s grief takes the form of stubborn grudge. And Kitka’s been so busy caring for the wounded men around her that she hasn’t given much thought to her own future.

It’s not long before both romantic and professional possibilities ensue in the form of a smooth-talking young man in competition with her father’s funerary business. But what about the goodhearted Rudy (Cezary Lukaszewicz), her dad’s quiet apprentice? And why does that fortune teller look exactly like Kitka’s dead mother? A couple of genuine surprises make up for the occasional interludes of clichéd predictability, as does Sujecka’s adorably feisty performance as the evolving Kitka. (Saturday, November 12, 6:30 p.m., Little Theatre) The proverbial prodigal returns in “Erratum,” a dreamily shot drama about the complicated bonds between sons and fathers. The accomplished debut feature by writer-director Marek Lechki tells the story of Michal (Gerard Butler lookalike Tomasz Kot), whose simple errand — to retrieve his boss’s car from his hometown — leads to a series of bittersweet encounters with the people he tried to put in his rearview mirror.

An unexpected tragedy keeps Michal from immediately returning home to his

wife and son, leaving him ample time to sit in uncomfortable silence with his uncommunicative dad (Ryszard Kotys), reconnect with his former bandmate (Tomasz Radawiec), and make peace with his mistakes.

The details are parceled out slowly, perhaps because the dialogue is so spare; “Erratum” is more about atmosphere and things unsaid. It’s gorgeous, confident filmmaking that renders the surroundings a character unto itself, with claustrophobic rooms crowded with resentment and wideopen spaces where a soul can breathe. The supporting cast is populated by people that look like everyday beings, each with a tale of their own, while the generous principal players illustrate that more than half of acting is reacting. (Saturday, November 12, 8:45 p.m., Little Theatre) The twisty whodunit “Entanglement” has all the makings of a Hollywood genre flick: handsome, jaded cop and leggy, no-nonsense prosecutor must team up to solve a murder despite their thorny romantic past. The first case Agata (Maja Ostaszewska) gets assigned to after relocating to Kraków pairs her with Smolar (Marek Bukowski), and it’s a weird one, featuring a dead man skewered in the eye, four suspects without apparent motive, and the questionable therapy methods that brought them all together.

You can write this one yourself (but most likely not in the Polish language), as Agata and Smolar get in over their heads once it starts to look like their investigation ties into a previous killing rooted in politics, money, and jealousy.

But whoever said that foreign films are all required to be dry and arty? “Entanglement” is nail-biting fun, with a labyrinthine plot, hammy performances, and spectacular flyover shots of stunning Kraków that would make a postcard envious.

PASSIONE

Friday, Nov. 11, 8 p.m., & Sunday, Nov 13, 2 p.m.

John Turturro’s third turn as director is an exciting tribute to the songs and singers of an unexpected musical hotspot: Naples, Italy. Through Turturro’s lens, the city emerges as a vibrant — and surprisingly influential — cultural center.

(John Turturro, US 2010, 90 min.)

RED DESERT Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

New Release!

Saturday, Nov. 12, 8 p.m., & Sunday, Nov. 13, 5 p.m.

Michelangelo Antonioni builds on the achievement of his earlier films with Monica Vitti to create a devastating portrait of life in an industrialized society.

Vitti plays the wife of a chemical magnate, groping for meaning against the twin threats of sexual liberation and familial collapse. Long a textbook example of chromatic cinematography (even though the most prominent color is grey), Red Desert demands to be seen on the big screen. (IL DESERTO ROSSO, Michelangelo Antonioni, Italy 1964, 117 min., Italian w/subtitles.)

New Restoration!

Captivating on Crosman

162 Crosman Terrace The 101-year old home at 162 Crosman Terrace is the perfect choice for the picky homebuyer searching for an abode in excellent condition with unique character, amazing curb appeal, and practical living spaces. One of the first houses constructed on Crosman Terrace, this gem has all of the above.

This 2,450 square foot, four bedroom house represents a mix of the Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts styles. The fanlight above the entrance, the arched front porch, and the classical columns supporting the porch and large bay window speak to the early 20th century Colonial Revival influence.

Upon entering the house, however, one steps into the warm and comforting tones and detailing typical of Arts and Crafts.

From the crown molding and baseboards to the staircase and door and window trim, unspoiled woodwork greets you from every angle. Even more impressive are the original hexagonal floor tiles that cover the front foyer. While these tiles are commonly found in small entrance vestibules, to find them in a main foyer and with this much unique detailing, is truly a marvel!

Beyond the foyer, through an arched doorway, is the kitchen. The wall between the kitchen and butler’s pantry has been removed, providing one open and functional space with new countertops, refaced cabinets, and original cabinetry in the former pantry. Arched, beaded board ceilings in both the kitchen and pantry provide yet another architectural detail that contributes to the unique character of this house.

The first floor also features a spacious living room with leaded glass shelves and a fireplace.

The dining room leads to the first enclosed sunroom through a set of wood French doors.

The rich woodwork and hardwood floors continue on the second floor where you will find four bedrooms and a bath. One bedroom provides access to the second sunroom. The woodwork even continues into the attic, which was built finished and provides additional flexible living or storage space.

With plenty of space for gardening or for children (or dogs) to run around, the semiprivate backyard provides a blank canvas from which to plan your perfect urban oasis. An attractive two-car garage is positioned in the rear corner of the yard.

The house is located in the lively and beautiful Upper Monroe neighborhood. Within walking distance are a variety of community amenities and restaurants, among them School No. 35, Cobbs Hill Park, Monroe Branch Library, Monroe Family YMCA. 162 Crosman Terrace is listed at $199,900.

Words do not do this house justice. Check out photos at rochestercityliving.com/ property/R169553 or arrange for a showing by contacting RE/MAX realtor, Ronald Gould, at 585-261-9000.

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Can’t Possibly Be True — Apparently, officials at the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport felt the need for professional guidance on rebranding their facility to (as one put it) “carry it into the modern era,” and so hired the creative talents of Big Communications of Birmingham, Ala., to help. Big’s suggested name for the airport, announced to great fanfare in September: “Chattanooga Airport.”

— Justice! ... Now! (1) Elsie Pawlow, a senior citizen of Edmonton, Alberta, filed a $100,000 lawsuit in September against Kraft Canada Inc., parent company of the makers of Stride Gum, which brags that it is “ridiculously long-lasting.” Pawlow complained that she had to scrub down her dentures after using Stride, to “dig out” specks of gum -- a condition that caused her to experience “depression for approximately 10 minutes.” (2) Colleen O’Neal filed a lawsuit recently against United/Continental airlines over the “post traumatic stress disorder” she said she has suffered since a 20-minute flight in October 2009 -- in which, during turbulent weather, the plane “banked” from side to side and lost altitude.

— In August, a state court in Frankfurt, Germany, awarded 3,000 euros (about $4,200) to Magnus Gaefgen, 36, on his claim that during a 2002 police interrogation, officers “threat(ened) ... violence” against him if he did not disclose what he knew about a missing 11-year-old boy who was later found dead. In 2003, Gaefgen was convicted of the boy’s murder and is serving a life sentence, but the court nevertheless thought he should be compensated for his “pain and suffering.”

— Names in the News: The man stabbed to death in Calgary, Alberta, in August: the 29-year-old Mr. Brent Stabbed Last. Among

the family members of Jared Loughner (the man charged with shooting U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in January) who were interviewed by authorities regarding mental illnesses in the Loughner family: Loughner’s distant cousin Judy Wackt. Passed away in May in Fredericksburg, Va.: retired Army Sgt. Harry Palm. Charged with murder in Decatur, Ill., in September: a (predictably underrespected) 15-year-old boy named Shitavious Cook.

— Hey, It Could’ve Happened: (1) The British recreation firm UK Paintball announced in August that a female customer had been injured after a paintball shot hit her in the chest, causing her silicone breast implant to “explode.” The company recommended that paintball facilities supply better chest protection for women with implants. (2) The Moscow, Russia, newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets reported in October that a local woman’s life had been saved by her “state-of-the-art” silicone breast implant.

Her husband had stabbed her repeatedly in the chest during a domestic argument, but the implant’s gel supposedly deflected the blade.

Mixed Evidence on Smoking (1) It’s Bad for You: A 44-year-old woman was hospitalized with a head injury and a broken clavicle in September after she inadvertently walked into a still-moving train at the Needham Center station near Boston. Her attention had been diverted because she was trying to light her cigarette as she walked. (2) Sometimes, It’s OK: A 51-year-old woman told police she fought off an attempted street robbery in Pennsville Township, N.J., in October by burning the age-20-something assailant with her lit cigarette. She said the man yelled “Ouch” and ran away.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll attract partners who have something unique to offer and who want to make a commitment. Good fortune will come your way if you join forces with someone who has the same concerns and dreams for the future.

Make plans to move forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone claiming to have a lot is probably overselling to make an impression. Before falling hook, line and sinker, find out firsthand whether this person is legitimate. It’s likely he or she is still involved with someone else.

Proceed cautiously.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract plenty of attention. Your flirtatious personality will be hard to resist, and your unique way of making everyone feel special will bring you a variety of potential partners to choose from. Don’t feel pressured to make a choice.

Enjoy your good fortune.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Attend a reunion or an industry event that will bring you in touch with someone from your past.

You need to reconnect and see if you still have feelings for an old love before you can move forward. Chances are good that the timing was wrong in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be a social butterfly, attracting all sorts of interest with your adventurous persona and your desire to participate. Getting involved in new activities or going places you’ve never been will be conducive to meeting someone with as much pizzazz as you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let someone meddle in your private affairs. You can expect emotional turmoil to mount and someone you fancy to disappoint you. Back up and observe what’s going on around you to avoid getting trapped in a no-win situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Travel, party, socialize and do other things you enjoy, and you will meet your match. Cast your fate to the wind and prepare to get caught up in a whirlwind romance that will offer you all the perks you are looking for, as well as great chemistry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay away from anyone who is emotionally unstable or clingy to avoid disaster. You’ll attract overly possessive partners who are prone to be dramatic if you don’t do what’s being asked of you. Cut your losses and move on before it’s too late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll charm someone with your high-energy, fun-loving, spirited approach to life, love and happiness. Before you take a leap of faith and make a quick decision that will alter your personal life, step back and take a closer look at what’s being offered in return.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel like playing house, but before you do, take into account that it may be difficult to get rid of someone after the fact. Slow down and let your latest relationship develop slowly.

It’s better to be safe than to scramble to protect your assets.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are likely to fall hard, wanting too much too fast. Let your love interest come to you, and don’t be afraid to walk away if you don’t get the respect you deserve. You have to keep things equal if you want this relationship to go the distance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be attracted to all the wrong partners. Stick to someone you know and trust. You will find the happiness you are looking for with someone who has always been there for you.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
