What to do about poverty

What a fine editorial concerning the concentration of poverty in Rochester (Urban Journal, May 13).

Despite the negative responses from many commenters, I believe that most fair-minded people will allow that there is more than 51 percent truth in the editorial’s position.

The very hard fact is that wealth and poverty are correlative. There is a finite amount of wealth on the earth at any moment in time, and it is all owned by someone.

That is a very difficult truth to swallow. It means that unless I am willing to share more, the problem will remain.

What is most distressing to me is that both sides sincerely believe their version of the truth is absolutely and irrevocably correct. Just like the five blindfolded people touching a different part of the elephant, each of them is so absolutely sure of the truth.

JIM BLATT

Ms. Towler, you make my heart sink. “What can we do about high poverty rate[s]?” you ask. How about changing the culture? I say.

All of your solutions amount to one solution: more money — the eternal fail-safe liberal answer to every problem.

I am old enough to remember when throngs flocked downtown by bus.

That’s where the shopping was: Sibley’s, McCurdy’s, Forman’s, Sears. That’s where the upscale restaurants were: Trebor’s, Eddie’s Chop House, Edward’s Pub. That’s where the movie theatres were.

Nobody in those days felt the need for a bus terminal.

Now that bus riding 2 CITY

has dwindled to a trickle of people, we have to have a bus terminal. It wasn’t hard to predict that concentrating all those students in one place was going to cause problems.

So, what to do about it? Subsidized housing, higher minimum wage, job programs, yada, yada, yada.

Liberal-inspired government programs have created a dreadful culture of dependency and low expectations. THAT is the problem we must address.

Genesee Community’s charter

The State Education Department says that the enrollment of Genesee Community Charter School should reflect the population of the Rochester city school district.

GCCS offers a vibrant school community, diverse student body, and an outstanding education. Instead of seeking to change that successful formula, we should seek to replicate it in the Rochester city school district and statewide. Instead of asking GCCS to become less diverse, we should ask how we make the RCSD more diverse and more successful.

DAVE TYLER

If anything, this article and GCCS demonstrate that we need a regional school system so that all students can be part of school communities that are not more than 40 percent free-reduced lunch, and are thus more likely to do well.

BARB VAN KERKHOVE

I happen to believe GCCS delivers an exceptional education program in a city that is short on quality options. However, the school is in clear violation of the charter law and needs to be more accessible to ALL city students. Sometimes in the course of discussions such as this, it is easy to forget that there are outstanding charter schools here in Rochester that serve poor students almost exclusively and deliver tremendous results.

CELEBR AT E URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

On my mind (still): poverty and the city Since their effort is still very much in the formative stage, I’m sure the leaders of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative are getting tired of being criticized, by me and by others. Clearly, everybody involved in the Initiative is worried about poverty, wants to do something about it, and hopes that their effort will be successful.

Maybe it will be. If it is, I’ll be among the first people to say I was wrong. But so far, it’s hard to be optimistic. Everything I see indicates that we’re going about this in the usual Rochester way. See a problem?

Form a committee of representatives of the usual institutions and organizations, talk about the problem, and come up with a plan. Get state or non-profit funding to seed the initial effort. And then….

And then, despite the enthusiasm and the hope and the commitment, the problem proves larger than the solutions devised by the usual organizations and institutions. And the initiative kinda peters out.

I’m not saying that some of the solutions this group comes up with won’t be important.

I’m sure they will be. But they seem destined to be things like having local service providers do their jobs well, coordinate their efforts with one another, and adopt “best practices.”

Unless I’m reading all of the Initiatives’ literature wrong, and unless I’m completely misinterpreting the conversation I had with its leaders a couple of months ago, the Initiative won’t tackle the big, big things: the things that might actually put us on the path to substantially reducing the poverty that is dooming thousands of Rochester residents and is holding this community down.

Because we’ve seen this show before. We’ve tried to combat major community problems previously, in the same way. And we’ve gotten the same sad results.

So now we’ve launched yet another attempt to solve a major community problem – this one the biggest problem of them all. This latest effort has the adrenalin shot of support by the governor of the State of New York. And it has secured $500,000 in state funding, half of which will go to pay for… a staff.

The staff will be headed by a director and a deputy director, who, according to the ads for the position, will report to the United Way’s president and CEO. They’ll work with public officials, “stakeholders,” and volunteers and will carry out the initiatives and goals devised by the Initiative’s 26-member steering committee.

Who’s on the steering committee?

Social-service agency leaders, educators, business leaders, elected officials: representatives of everybody except the poor themselves. It is true that some steering

committee members grew up in poverty – most significantly, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, whose success is both impressive and inspirational – and that’s important.

But those steering committee members aren’t living in poverty in the inner city right now. They aren’t representatives.

The Initiative’s leaders emphasize that poor Rochesterians will participate in the work groups that are an important part of the efforts of the Initiative. But they don’t get to sit at the head table, so to speak. They’re not among the 26 steering committee members.

I can’t think of a logical reason why they’re not. And regardless of the intent, the clear message from their omission is this: “The folks at the head table want to hear from you.

They welcome your input. But the folks at the head table were chosen for a reason. And they know what’s best for you.”

It’s all so very, um, Rochester, yes?

I so want to be proved wrong about this. I really, really do. Because the problem of Rochester’s increasing poverty is beyond serious. It is a crisis. And even if we’re able to keep it bottled up for generation after generation after generation, it is doing terrible damage to thousands of human beings every single year.

That is a moral stain on this community. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Bergmann moving to Midtown

The architecture-engineering firm Bergmann Associates is moving its headquarters from the First Federal Plaza on East Main Street to Tower280 — the new name for Midtown Tower. The firm will occupy the entire second floor of the building, and should move into its new home in 2016.

Budget cuts spending

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren proposed a $502-million budget for the 2015-2016 fiscal year that reduces spending by more than $2 million and keeps the tax levy flat. Rochester residents would see an average $23.79 annual increase in their tax bill, however, due to rate increases and a new tax exemption for veterans.

The budget also includes $2 million for body cameras for the Rochester Police Department.

A piece of City Council legislation includes plans for Rochester’s first bike boulevard, a designated route paralleling a difficult-to-traverse main road. Various segments of Harvard Street will be outfitted with bike markings, speed cushions, and speed humps. A pedestrian island will be added at Harvard and Calumet.

Deal cut for summer busing

Officials with the Rochester City School District and the Regional Transit Service reached an agreement for summer school busing. RTS CEO Bill Carpenter said recently that the agency would no longer bus city school students because of violence at the downtown transit center.

Under the deal, about 90 percent of RCSD students will bypass the center. And the district has agreed to pay RTS an additional $350,000.

It’s looking more likely, too, that RTS will continue busing city school students in the fall.

Elena Knapp, owner of Jim’s Restaurant, says that she plans to re-open Jim’s Restaurant Too on East Main Street this summer.

city’s planning and zoning office says that the project as originally presented would need at least 15, and possibly as many as 17, zoning variances to proceed.

“There’s a lot that needs to be resolved,” says City Council

“One out of two people living with HIV today has some type of brain disease. There are close to 34 million people living with HIV, which makes it no small problem.” [ DR. HARRIS GELBARD ]

MEDICINE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

UR drug may improve memory A team of scientists at the University of Rochester, led by Dr. Harris Gelbard and Stephen Dewhurst, UR vice dean of research, may have developed the first drug to improve memory and cognitive ability in patients with certain types of illnesses.

And a new company, Camber NeuroTherapeutics, has been founded to usher the drug called URMC-099 through human trials in 2016.

Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and HIV have a common characteristic. Neuroinflammation of the brain in patients with these illnesses often damages nerve cells and inhibits their normal function, causing memory and cognitive problems. This leaves some patients unable to perform simple tasks.

For instance, Gelbard says that even though HIV is typically thought of as an immune system malfunction, it’s also a condition of the brain. When HIV finds its way into the brain, it causes progressive neuroinflammation and numerous cognitive disorders. Even

the first description of the neurology of AIDS was of a Parkinson’s-like syndrome, Gelbard says.

“One out of two people living with HIV today has some type of brain disease,” he says. “There are close to 34 million people living with HIV, which makes it no small problem.”

While the inflammation begins early in people with HIV, he says, it’s a more gradual process over decades for people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Post-operative cognitive function is another area where the researchers say that the new drug can have a positive impact. Cognitive function can be impaired after surgery. The problems seem to go away in a few months in some patients, but in others they can last longer or even become permanent.

Gelbard and Dewhurst targeted most of their research on a “worker bee” enzyme called MLK3, which plays a pivotal role in kickstarting the neuroinflammatory process. Their drug, URMC-099, “turns off” the enzyme.

Some of the researchers’ work, which is funded by $25 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health, was published in the Journal of Neuroscience and the

Westport’s fallout Upheaval on the Village of Pittsford’s Planning Board after four of five board members resigned suddenly last week.

Remegia Mitchell, Meg Rubiano, Joe Maxey, and Jill Crooker cited objections to the village Board of Trustees’ handling of the proposed Westport Crossing project.

On Monday, the trustees appointed Jeff Bove and Jo Anne Shannon to the Planning Board, and made Justin Vlietstra, the only remaining member, the board’s new chair. That leaves two seats vacant, though alternate Harold Danko will fill in for now.

The controversial Westport project calls for 167 apartments on the former Monoco Oil site along the Erie Canal, right where Monroe Avenue enters the village. The project has a tangled history — there is no short version at this point — involving six lawsuits against the village and its boards, including the Planning Board. Some have been filed by the project’s developer, Mark IV Enterprises, and others by a citizens group.

Tensions between some Planning Board members and the Board of Trustees have increased in recent months, largely because of the lawsuits and Vlietstra’s appointment to the Planning Board. Vlietstra is part of a citizens group that has filed lawsuits against the village, including the Planning Board.

Faith and environmentalism: common goals RELIGION | BY JEREMY MOULE

A devout Catholic, Gerry Gacioch says that humans are supposed to be stewards of the Earth. Climate change, he says, is a sign that humanity is abusing what God has given it.

A devout Catholic, Gerry Gacioch says that humans are supposed to be stewards of the Earth. Climate change, he says, is a sign that humanity is abusing what God has given it.

The remainder of 2015 is crucial for acting on climate change, he says. For one, world leaders will gather in Paris at the end of the year to negotiate a new climate treaty. The pact would replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which was intended to drive down global carbon emissions — but hasn’t. (The protocol was never ratified by the US Congress, either.)

But Gacioch is also excited about two important events leading up to the negotiations, both involving his Catholic faith. As early as June, Pope Francis will release a message to Catholics — an encyclical — explaining the urgency and moral importance of addressing climate change. And during a September visit to the United States, the pope will address Congress and a United Nations assembly — he’s expected to touch on climate change in those remarks.

“There is definitely a feel that if there’s ever going to be movement on this issue — which there’s a lot of powerful forces against movement — this is going to be a really

crucial six months,” says Gacioch, a Fairport resident and parishioner at Church of the Transfiguration in Pittsford.

Gacioch is also one of 30 Catholic climate ambassadors in the United States. American Catholic bishops started the ambassadors program to spread a message through parishes about the seriousness of climate change.

Climate change and other environmental issues are often framed around economies, politics, science, and even recreation. But they’re inherently moral matters — a fact that’s often overlooked.

For a growing group of the faithful, environmental protection is a natural fit with their religions. They say that efforts to address environmental problems are a way to honor creation, and to live out the teachings of their churches, synagogues, and mosques.

“All of the major religions share this at their core, no matter how they express it, and that is, care for one’s neighbor and transcendence of one’s self and own self-interest,” says the Rev. Ruth Ferguson, rector of Christ Church, an Episcopal congregation in Rochester.

Many environmental issues, especially climate change, have disproportionately

“We can’t look at this as somebody else’s issue,” says Evans, who is senior pastor at St. Luke Tabernacle Community Church in the Maplewood neighborhood.

And even in city neighborhoods where polluting activities have slowed or stopped, old contamination continues to be an issue.

Members of Temple Sinai, a Reform Jewish congregation in Brighton, often work with neighborhoods to set up community gardens, says Jackie Ebner, a congregation member and former chair of its environmental committee. But they often can’t use the soil at the garden sites, she says, because it’s contaminated from past uses.

QUALITY MERCHANDISE. PERSONAL SERVICE. LOCALLY OWNED.

Gacioch and Ebner say that they want their

impacted poor and vulnerable populations.

Globally, people have abandoned their homes due to sea-level rise, drought, and natural disasters — all influenced by shifts in climate.

Domestically, the poor are at greater risk for health problems or death during heatwaves — many can’t afford air conditioners or the cost to run them.

In its first few decades, the modern environmental movement lacked a sense of social justice. Activists and organizations instead focused on protecting natural areas, wildlife, and water sources.

But poorer communities, especially communities of color, have often been targeted for dumps, incinerators, chemical plants, and other polluting or nuisance industrial operations.

“Even when the concerns for the environment might have been at face really valid, because they were not linked to the concerns for the survival of people, many people in the African-American community could not get with it,” says the Rev. Dr. James Evans, a systematic theology professor at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. “People who are trying to feed their children and put roofs over their heads see that at least as important as preserving a forest.”

The disproportionate impact on poor and minority communities ultimately gave birth to the environmental justice movement. But even before that, African American church leaders had been involved in fights to keep polluters out of neighborhoods — showing that clergy have a place in environmental movements.

Faith leaders should be aware that the members of their congregations are impacted by environmental issues, Evans says.

churches’ leaders and peers engaged on environmental and climate issues.

In his role as a climate ambassador, Gacioch visits Catholic parishes to talk about the settled science of climate change and the moral aspects of the issue. He stresses the importance of acting now to protect future generations, he says.

“I think that’s where religion actually helps out, because the church talks in terms of eternity, where realistically most people are sort of paycheck to paycheck,” he says. “They are looking at survival for themselves; they’re really not looking down the road.”

Ebner is a certified Jewish environmental educator. She says that she’s always felt a strong connection to Judaism, and as she became more interested in the environment, she began investigating what her faith said on the subject. Jewish scripture says a lot about conservation, animal rights, and respect for the natural world, she says.

“Faith’s job is really to guide us through things like this,” Ebner says.

Christ Church’s Ferguson say that she wants to set an example for her congregation. She’d love to be seen biking around the community in her clerical collar, she says, which could encourage others to bike more and reduce their fossil fuel use.

Ferguson has had a couple of minor bumps with cars, however, and she says that she worries about her safety biking around the city. To her, bike-friendly streets are a justice issue, since many of the city’s poorer residents rely on bicycles to get around. Clergy should be looking for ways to work with city and county officials to make improvements, she says.

Evans’s church has its own way of connecting congregation members with nature.

Each year, youth participating in a summer program plant and keep up a small garden.

It may not sound like much, he says, but it teaches that with respect and care, the Earth can provide humanity with sustenance and beauty.

Ferguson and Evans also say that clergy have opportunities to reach their congregations through prayer, sermons, and by joining parishioners who speak out on environmental and climate issues. That could mean marching through the streets with them, or writing and calling lawmakers on important issues.

“We certainly know that we have a responsibility to speak up,” Evans says.

Fight over Aldi But those haven’t been shared yet. A public meeting will be held at a later date, the release says.

Some residents — an opposition group currently has about 20 members — say that Aldi is unnecessary because there are other grocers nearby. The chain is trying to stuff a suburbanstyle big-box store onto BlossomWinton, they say, with little regard for the neighborhood’s urban aesthetics and atmosphere.

But Spaull says that are other village residents who are thrilled about the possibility of a discount grocer within walking distance of their homes. Neither side is wrong, she says.

In addition to the zoning variances required for the original plan, Aldi would need a special permit from the City Planning Commission for exceeding the parking cap. Aldi wants 73 spaces, the city says — significantly more than what the city requires.

Project opponent Anthony Vallone says that the project site was “downzoned” several years ago at the request of the neighborhood.

Commercial operations in this particular district should be “low intensity, unobtrusive, and conducted at a scale and density compatible with the surrounding neighborhood,” the city’s paperwork says.

The proposed Aldi would be 17,000 square feet, the city says, which is more than five times the permitted size in that zoning district.

Mary Coffey, co-chair of the North Winton Village Neighborhood Association, says that Aldi, City Hall, and the neighborhood are working together to improve the project, and that people should be glad that developers want to invest in the neighborhood.

“We’re hopeful we come up with just a wonderful building and a good developer in the neighborhood,” she says.

In a statement, Aldi representatives say that they’re working with local officials and hope to be open by the end of the year.

Adding to the angst is the fact that Aldi would replace Jim’s Restaurant — a popular local eatery — at Blossom-Winton.

The restaurant closed on Saturday. Never to be confused with fine dining, Jim’s was nevertheless a cultural nexus in North Winton Village. City Hall administrators and Rochester school board members were just as likely to occupy Jim’s booths as 20-somethings feeding their hangovers.

Owner Elena Knapp says that her landlord asked her to leave after her lease expired last December. She says that she plans to re-open Jim’s second location on East Main Street sometime this summer.

Jim’s Restaurant Too closed late last year after a kitchen fire.

Más Mofongo [ REVIEW ] BY KATIE LIBBY

When a door closes, another one opens.

It’s a common saying, and has many different iterations, but the idea is the same: a chapter in your life comes to a close, whether it’s a job or a relationship, and it paves the way for something new.

This was the case for Xavier Borges, the co-owner of El Flamboyan Café (35 Chestnut Street). Borges was passed over for a promotion at a previous job, but saw it as an opportunity to realize his mother’s dream of having a restaurant and opened El Flamboyan with his father, Samuel.

Borges’ mother is from Naguabo, Puerto Rico, and the menu is comprised of many of her recipes, which are cooked by head chef, Arery Cruz. The menu is also influenced by Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Mofongo ($12-$15) is a Puerto Rican dish consisting of mashed plantains, garlic, and spices and served with meat or seafood. The shrimp salad mofongo ($15) is one of the café’s key dishes. Also on the menu are Alcapurrias ($2.75): ground beef and spices, wrapped in masa (dough), and deep fried. The plantain canoe ($5) is just what it sounds like, a plantain that has

been scooped out and filled with ground beef and peppers and onions (like an island version of a loaded baked potato).

The Flambo burger ($12) is stuffed with onions, peppers, and cheese and served in “criollo” bread — which El Flamboyan purchases from a local bakery. “Criollo” bread is typically used to make a Cuban sandwich (also on the menu for $9.50), with a nice crust on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Borges says he is excited to be “smack dab in the middle of downtown,” and to be a part of the area’s revitalization. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week.

El Flamboyan Café is located at 35 Chestnut Street, and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 633-0923.

anniversaries. Last year’s big one was Richard Strauss’ 150th.

In 2015,the honor goes to another late-Romantic master: Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). The great Finnish composer’s music isn’t heard all that often on Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra programs. That situation changes this week with two Sibelius works on the bill. Concertmaster Juliana Athayde offers Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, preceded by “Lemminkainen’s Return,” the composer’s tone poem based on the adventures of a hero of Norse mythology. These fascinating works will be conducted by Yoav Talmi, who will also lead Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony.

The cover to Voodoo Zoo’s latest album, “Curses,” — a photo by artist Peter Macon — frames the veteran band’s impending prog-rock journey. “Curses,” the band’s sophomore album, was recorded at Saxon Studios with Dave Anderson behind the console, giving a no-frills production that fits the players — Jeff Martin, vocals and guitar; Dominic Trinchini, bass and vocals; Brian Dobbie, saxophone, guitar, keyboards, and vocals; and Dave Taddeo, drums and vocals. The approach gives the songs a chance to stand on their own. “Curses” nails down a definite vibe with a few instrumental surprises along the way, including a horn section that appears on a few tunes.

“Shortest Distance” kicks it off with a statement of intent, the blend of guitar and keys driving the ambience while the lyrics capture the mentality. Several of the tunes sound vaguely familiar: Voodoo Zoo channels its inner Whitesnake for “She Don’t Love You”; “Another Hour” recalls the odd-time signatures of Rush; and “Rael’s Return” is a shout out to Genesis. Martin’s vocals and the band’s harmonies keep things flowing like bygone-era classic radio. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Little Lapin, the stage name of Lucy Hill, is a Englandbased singer-songwriter who performed in town last year, and when I first heard her folk and popinfluenced debut EP, it instantly perked my ears. Now her debut full-length album, “Remember the Highs,” has me once again hooked.

“Remember the Highs” embraces a modern adultcontemporary aesthetic — reminiscent of, say, an acoustic Florence and the Machine — that is anchored

by Hill’s powerful, nuanced, pure voice. I hear a little bit of country on “Go! Stop! Go!” a song that showcases her strengths as an artist.

The tune begins with a simple acoustic guitar melody that slowly builds towards a magnificent chorus and eventually rings true all around.

Little Lapin’s six-track debut EP gained traction in New Zealand. “Remember the Highs” may win her the broader audience she seems to be making a bid for.

You might say Michael Feinstein was born to champion the Great American Song Book. But you would be a bit late.

“My interest in the Great American Song Book started in the womb,” says Feinstein, who joins the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for a Gershwin Celebration on May 29 and 30. “By the time I was five I was already immersed in that body of music.”

Feinstein played those classic tunes in his late teens at a piano bar in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. But as if in a time warp from a Hollywood movie, he would soon find himself at the center of what was left of the music scene he loved.

After moving to Los Angeles at the age

of 20, Feinstein took a job as a piano salesman. One day he stopped into a 12 CITY MAY 20-26, 2015

Hollywood record store and found a rare cache of private recordings that had belonged to pianist Oscar Levant.

A secretary at the piano store put him in touch with Levant’s widow who, impressed with Feinstein’s knowledge, was soon introducing him around town as her protégé.

“She took me to Sam Goldwyn Jr.’s house where I played the piano on which George Gershwin had played ‘Love Walked In’ for Sam Goldwyn when he was auditioning it for ‘The Goldwyn Follies.’”

She introduced him to legendary Hollywood stars like Dolores del Rio and Ann Southern and to then 80-year-old Ira Gershwin and his wife, Leonore. The Gershwins hired him to catalog their record collection.

But something else happened.

“Ira was in a deep depression and here comes this 20-year-old kid who knows all about his work and he suddenly started to come back to life,” Feinstein says.

“Leonore took me aside after a couple of weeks and said, ‘You’ve given my husband new life and I want you to stay in this house as long as you can and just keep Ira happy and keep busy.’

“So I did. I spent time talking to him, entertaining him, becoming his eyes and ears to the outside world, and creating a

relationship that laid the groundwork for everything to come in my career.”

When you hear the name Gershwin, you

might first think of the great composer, George. But it was Ira who wrote brilliant lyrics for songs like “Love Is Here to Stay” and “But Not For Me.” Did he realize just how good he was?

“He had pride for his work,” Feinstein says. “But he was not in any way boastful and he considered his contribution small compared to George’s. He knew he did his job well but he always felt that George was such an extraordinary meteor in music and unique in such a gargantuan way that he downplayed his own contribution.”

Feinstein is now a leading expert on the Gershwins and a fount of information about their work. For instance, “Porgy and Bess,” the opera they wrote (along with Edwin DuBose Heyward), is considered a classic today, but according to Feinstein, it might never have happened.

“George had read the novel in 1927 and he had an immediate desire to create a musical work from it,” Feinstein says.

“Shortly thereafter he decided it should be an opera. He wasn’t ready early on so he started to write it in 1934.

“Everybody kept saying you’re crazy — what are you doing this for?

Everybody was opposed to it, the African-American community, the Tin Pan Alley guys, the Metropolitan Opera.

So it was all driven by George’s vision.

“Earlier it was going to be a black-face musical with Al Jolson by [Jerome] Kern and [Oscar] Hammerstein. Hayward would have accepted that; he needed money during the depression. It was Gershwin who turned it into this masterwork.”

George Gershwin died of a brain tumor in 1937 at the age of 38.

“For whatever reason, it was determined, I believe divinely, he was supposed to pass at that time,” Feinstein says. “I don’t know why and it is absurd that he did not have the opportunity to share more because there was so much more.

“That was the thing that depressed Ira the most next to the physical loss because Ira obsessed over what George might have written and what they were going to write. It was also the loss of Ira’s creativity because Ira was always spurred by George’s energy. Ira was never the same after that.”

There have been great songs written since

that golden age, but Feinstein believes tunes by the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and so on, are in a class by themselves.

“Those songs came out of an era of operetta and beautiful melodies,” Feinstein says. “But lyrics were not as clever or well-crafted before that time. It was a ripe moment for American culture and the melting pot of this country to integrate into the European traditions of popular song and musical theater.

“So it was the cultural contribution, the melding of so many different immigrants and the energy and vitality of New York and America and the belief in the American Dream, that anything’s possible, that ignited these creators in a way that was extraordinary. It was also a work ethic; you can’t underestimate the craft.”

Feinstein explores the craft of songwriting with today’s musicians every week on his radio show, “Song Travels.”

(Saturdays at 10 a.m. on WXXI 91.5 FM).

“I have to make allowances for contemporary writing because very few people rhyme perfectly today and it’s a different time. Sometimes there are things I don’t like but I focus on what I do like.”

That’s not to say Feinstein has no recent favorites.

“Jimmy Webb is a phenomenal writer; he’s a musical chameleon in the best sense of that word. Billy Joel is a fantastic songwriter. There are Lennon and McCartney songs that I think are wonderful. Joni Mitchell, Neil Sedaka — they’re songs for a different time.

“In terms of keeping the same level of craft, one generally has to go to the theater writers, and Sondheim is still with us, but that level of craft is generally gone. Jason Robert Brown is an extremely talented writer, Adam Guettel, Ricky Ian Gordon … But there are not pop writers who write with that craft because rhyming in pop music is anathema.”

SINGER-SONGWRITER | CHRIS TRAPPER

I’ve liked this cat since he was a Push Star and always dug the acoustic strum attack on his electric guitar. Chris Trapper is all about the song, not its trappings. He is there to serve these little storied gems with whatever it is they cry for — even Dixieland which he brought to the fore a few albums back. “Technicolor,” Trapper’s newest release still skates the edge between melancholy and dreamer with the instrumentation a little more dressed up. But don’t sweat it: Trapper is still in there … so are the songs.

ROCK | THE FURIES

Five-piece, all-female rock band The Furies self-describe as “defiance, catharsis, quirk” — and this seems perfectly put. Rock guitars give weighted body, while snare and hi-hat give texture and groove to a beautiful vocal-forward sound with lush harmonies. Lead singer, Lee Moretti, best known for her time as Third Eye Blind’s multi-instrumentalist, carries notes both fierce and sweet. The band is currently recording its first EP due out later this year. Wilxy & Crump and Nerds in Denial also play.

The Furies perform Thursday, May 21, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 8 p.m. bugjar.com, thefuriesrock.com.

18 CITY MAY 20-26, 2015

Unless you’re one of the lucky or intrepid few who have managed to make a fulltime job out of your creative pursuits, you can probably relate to life getting in the way of your art. It’s not easy for everyone to set aside the time to focus on their craft, but a local group of friends has managed to become an impressively prolific — and popular — gang of artists, while juggling careers, families, and school.

For more than two years, the nearly 20 artists involved in the Dudes Night Out group have made it a point to keep art in their lives simply by hanging out, by always keeping another show on the horizon, and by encouraging one another through down-to-earth camaraderie

instead of competition. In anticipation of this week’s DNO takeover of 1975 Gallery, City spoke with two of the original Dudes about the group’s origins, their accomplishments, and their future.

The social art group was the brainchild of artist Aaron Humby, who asked a group of friends to participate in a “Heroes vs.

Villains” themed art show he was planning to hold at Record Archive in 2013. “He had all of these artist friends who worked in all different media, from different backgrounds, and he wanted to put a show on to pull them all together,” says “painter of awkward situations,” Joe Guy Allard.

A combination of the theme’s draw and the group’s pooled audience made the event a hit. And the artists had so much fun that the group’s shows became a recurrent thing — a new DNO show opened almost every month. The original group of 16 people came to call themselves “Dudes Night Out.” Over the past two years, some people have dropped out, and the group has picked up others. “It’s like one of those long-running TV shows, where by the time a couple of seasons have rolled around, it’s a whole different cast,” Allard says.

“But there are still a few of the key characters,” says John Magnus Champlin, the friendly, red-bearded fella well known to Rochesterians simply as Magnus. “About half of the original artists are still involved.”

Today, the core group includes 18 people, and the group’s age range spans

almost 20 years, from the youngest, who is in her mid-20’s, to the oldest, who is in his early-40’s.

Along with Humby, Allard, and Magnus, the current DNO roster includes Katherine Arisumi, Gia Conti, Eugene Commodore, Randy Duncan, Michael Hanlon, Nate Hodge, Jes Karakashian, Mary Moore, Ben Moriconi, John Perry, Steve Resig, Matt Roberts, John Schlia, Matthew Vimislik, and Colleen Virdi.

Yes, you read some women’s names in that roll call. Though the name sounds like a bros-only outing, female artists are entirely welcome to join the group.

DNO is one part productivityinsurance for these busy artists, and one part social club. The bubbling enthusiasm of just two Dudes is infectious; a room full of them is a seriously buoyant gathering.

Smaller groups get together frequently — Matt Roberts hosts a weekly game night, which might or might not turn into a meeting night to discuss upcoming shows. Allard says the group has a great sense of humor, and that goofing tangents are inevitable. “But we’ll get these spurts of productivity,” he says. “We’ll get very excited about a topic, and then everyone’s brain kicks in with the ideas flowing.”

Before shows, the group convenes at the host venue to discuss ideas about how to fill or transform the space. “Our shows are pretty much an experience in themselves, not just a collection of art,” Magnus says. Past themes have included

Cryptozoology, Kaiju (timed for the opening of “Godzilla”), and the group’s 2nd anniversary show was Rochesterthemed: “We Art Roc.” The Dudes are fairly leaderless, or rather, have a system of shifting leadership.

Different members suggest themes that interest them, “Then that person will kind of run lead on that show, and find the venue,” Allard says. “And then there will be a smaller group that will band together with that person to get it all together. Then all of the other artists will contribute work.”

The small breakout group dynamic works well, and the entire group usually gets together only for the receptions.

DNO has about 20 shows under its belt, not counting shows organized by other people in which DNO team members have participated. “Seven or eight Dudes are usually in the ‘Boys vs. Girls’ show” hosted annually, simultaneously, by 1975 Gallery and The Yards, Magnus says. “We’re scattered everywhere. We’re slowly immersing ourselves and taking over the world.”

The receptions for DNO shows are proven social events with wide appeal. “My favorite moment was at the end of the first year, at the anniversary show, I was trying to get pictures of the crowd,” Allard says, but he couldn’t get far enough back to get everyone in the shot. “So I took this huge video. It was wall-to-wall people.

That event, hosted by Roc Brewing, was so packed that the venue couldn’t hold everyone — the sidewalk was almost as packed as the interior. The food truck booked for the opening sold out of its goodies, and the beer brewed specifically for the occasion — that was meant to remain on sale for a few weeks — sold out in four hours.

“We have some really awesome fans — we have people who go to every show,” Magnus says.

The appeal comes down to a really

simple formula. “Our themes are awesome, and there’s some nostalgia that kicks in hardcore,” Magnus says. And the receptions are “not like a typical art opening, but a down-to-earth party” with approachable, fun people.

The dudes are social media masters, with an active Instagram account and two Facebook groups: an internal group, which is more for planning purposes, and the public group, which has a very humble open-studio sort of vibe. “It’s all process pics, like, ‘Here’s something half-

done, here’s some mistakes I’ve made, here’s what I’ve wasted time on, here I am passed out … you can see the whole process, everybody’s so open,” Allard says. “So once you come to the show, it’s seeing the culmination of the progression you’ve been seeing.”

Needless to say, with 18 people working in different styles and media, the artwork is very diverse. “There’s sculptors, photographers, painters, graphic designers … and then sometimes the painters sculpt … everybody has a different background,” Allard says. “Katherine is a medical illustrator, so her stuff is very technical, and then my stuff is just big green round bulbs for heads. It doesn’t make any sense — they’d never be combined otherwise.”

Roc Brewing Co. is a sort of home base to the Dudes -- the owners have asked DNO to be their house artists, but the dudes spread the love to AMOR (Art Museum of Rochester, on Monroe Avenue), The Rochester Brainery, and Gallery Salon.

“Now we have our first honest-togoodness gallery show,” Magnus says of the upcoming DNO takeover of 1975 Gallery’s white walls. For this show, 1975 founder Erich Lehman has given over control entirely to the Dudes.

“We’re going to celebrate. This is not going to be a stand-back-and-look-at-it” kind of show, Magnus says. “A lot of the stuff is interactive, please touch … don’t lick, but please touch.”

After the dust settles from this ambitious, quickie endeavor, you might think the Dudes have earned themselves a break. Nah. They’ll immediately refocus on completing plans and artworks for the Cult Classics show, to be held a bit later in June at Roc Brewing. And Magnus has alluded to a “Back to the Future” themed show in the works for this fall.

The group has no firm goals for the future, but say they are taking their successful experiment more seriously, and would like to keep this momentum going.

The late summer and early fall will bring solo shows meant to highlight specific members, beginning with shows for Colleen Virdi and Jes Karakashian.

Their built-in shared audience and mutual promotional efforts nearly guarantees the success of the individuals.

Magnus says for each these “super solo shows,” “we’re taking all of the energy of everyone working on individual pieces, and helping raise each one of us up.”

ART | “AMONG MY FAVORITES”

On Friday, May 22, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Image City Photography Gallery (722 University Avenue) will host a reception for “Among My Favorites,” a collection of images by Dan Neuberger, one of the founding partners of Image City.

Festivals ART | “UNIVERSAL MAGNETIC”

AXOM Gallery (176 Anderson Avenue, second floor) recently opened “Universal Magnetic” an exhibition of new works by Rochester-based artist St. Monci, who is part of The Sweet Meat Co. and a WALL\THERAPY alum. In this body of work, Monci focuses on “the push/pull phenomenon of magnetism — a force observed through all objects in space,” says curator Margot Muto, in a provided statement.

Known for his kinetic exploration of color and form, St. Monci has lately been incorporating typographical elements into his imagery, forming playful phrases (“Roc City,” “Can I kick it?” and “Word.”) from bright shapes and linear elements. The end result, mixed in with beautifully balanced abstractions, is a seriously fresh-looking body of design work.

The show continues through July 3. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and until 9 p.m. on First Fridays. For more information, call 232-6030, or visit axomgallery.com.

CREDENTIAL TRAINING

THEATER | “MOSES MAN”

“Moses Man: A Musical Journey of Survival” continues its own long journey with a series of workshop performances at Geva’s Fielding Nextstage on Thursday, May 21, through Sunday, May 24. The locally-created musical — written by Deborah Haber and composed by Casey Filiaci — made its world premiere at the JCC’s Hart Theatre in 2013 and is now set for a full production in New York City as an official selection of the 2015 New York Musical Theatre Festival. “Moses Man” is the story of the nineyear journey of a Holocaust survivor, Avi, who fled Vienna during Nazi annexation. Avi’s epic story — which was based on the survival story of Haber’s parents — takes him through Europe, Cyprus, Palestine, and Africa before finally arriving in the U.S. This will be the fourth workshop production of “Moses Man,” and will include a cast of eight New York Citybased actors and a part of the NYMF creative team: director Michael Bush and musical director Don Kot. Several Rochester-based actors will also be involved in the workshop: Russell Allen, Dave Autovino, Sammi Cohen, Tess DeFlyer, Sarah Goodman, Brynn Lucas, and CJ Roche.

DePaul’s National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence-Rochester Area has openings for its next Addiction Counselor Credential Training beginning September 8, 2015.

Fast and furious “Mad Max: Fury Road”

Max Beyond Thunderdome,” the previous installment in Miller’s post-apocalyptic action trilogy centered around the terse, lone-wolf hero Max Rockatansky (played in those past films by a young Mel Gibson), who roared across the desolate Australian outback in his black Interceptor. Those films owed a great deal to exploitation cinema and classic Westerns, but with the long-delayed “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Miller retools his franchise into a grandiose symphony of grit, twisted metal, and roaring engines.

As the film opens, Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by a band of War Boys: meth-faced, albino minions of the fearsome despot known as Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played Toecutter in the original “Mad Max”). Max is brought to The Citadel, Joe’s desert compound, where he’s kept alive to be used as a blood bag for a wounded War Boy named Nux (Nicholas Hoult).

Then Joe’s most trusted lieutenant, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) veers off course during what should be a standard supply run, driving her massive war rig off into the desert. She’s carrying with her Joe’s five “brides,” perfect females that the warlord has kept

(R), DIRECTED BY GEORGE MILLER NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

During a Q&A following the premiere of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” director George Miller namechecked film historian Kevin Brownlow and his seminal book, “The Parade’s Gone By,” citing it as a crucial instructional tool for any director of modern action films. That book, focusing on the silent film era, provides a clue as to why, with its scant dialogue, big emotions, and epic storytelling, “Mad Max: Fury Road” itself frequently feels like an old silent movie. Just, you know, an incredibly loud one.

It’s been 30 years since the release of “Mad

imprisoned for the purposes of giving him healthy babies (boys, preferably). Furiosa and her illegal cargo make a mad dash across the desert toward the sanctuary of “The Green Place,” and Joe responds by mobilizing a fleet of War Boys to reclaim his property. Among their number is Nux, with Max chained to the front of his vehicle like a living, screaming hood ornament. From there, we’re off, and “Fury Road” never stops moving.

At 70 years old, George Miller has put his younger peers to shame, producing an instant classic of the genre. His film is packed with thrillingly kinetic action sequences, filled with unforgettable images; the world of “Mad Max” is a marvel of production and costume design. Each frame is brimming with details that demonstrate how much thought and care went into building this universe.

The jaw-dropping scenes of largely practical stunt work pay off in some of the most exciting, tactical action put to film in some time. Monstrous, rusted-out death rigs hurtle forward, crashing into each other in a revvedup demolition derby, and it’s spectacular. With beautiful, hyper-saturated images courtesy cinematographer John Seale (brought out of retirement for this feature), the film is gorgeous.

If anything, the computer-aided environments are so pretty that they occasionally detract from the real-life stunts being performed. When it comes to blockbuster films we’ve come to expect realistically-rendered impossibilities, so when we’re presented with honest-to-god death-defying feats, we tend not to trust what our eyes are seeing.

AFTERNOON

LOCAL SHOWTIMES: rochestercitynewspaper.com/MOVIETIMES

Love which is strong as death “Far from the Madding Crowd” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY THOMAS VINTERBERG OPENS FRIDAY

“Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll” (NR), DIRECTED BY JOHN PIROZZI SCREENS TUESDAY, MAY 26 [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Mad Max: Fury Road” also distinguishes itself through an unabashed feminist streak. It’s the rare action movie (or any genre for that matter) that not only passes the Bechdel test, but does so with flying colors. At a certain point, there are 12 women on screen, all talking to one another, never about a man. For a film with a plotline about women being treated as sex slaves, it’s never exploitative. We’re never forced to witness their abuse, and only meet the women after they’ve escaped. The film’s mindset can be summed up by the first clear look we get of the freed brides: rejoicing as they use a bolt cutter to help each other break free of their painful-looking chastity belts.

Though Hardy is technically playing the same character as Gibson in the original trilogy, there are some minor changes to this iteration of the character, tweaking his backstory and making the “Mad” moniker a little more obvious. Throughout, he’s haunted by hallucinations and visions of the wife and daughter he failed to save. Even when communicating mostly through grunts and growls, Hardy is still as charismatic as ever.

But the film truly belongs to Theron. With her shaved head, a face painted with engine grease, and a prosthetic mechanical arm, she paints an imposing figure; her Furiosa emerges as the best female lead in an action film since Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor. The film never pauses to spell out the reasons for Furiosa’s behavior. It’s not necessary.

Theron’s eyes convey everything we need to know, her presence providing the film its howling, ferocious, wounded heart.

“I’d hate to become some man’s property,” the forthright Bathsheba Everdene says to her gently spurned suitor. It’s 1870 in Dorset, England, and despite her penniless status, Bathsheba values her independence above everything, a nontraditional mindset that will serve her well when an unexpected inheritance bequeaths her a large farm.

But over the course of Danish director Thomas Vinterberg’s earthy yet swooning adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd,” our heroine will learn that even financial security won’t assuage Victorian society’s demands that she snag a husband. In fact, Bathsheba finds that men are now drawn to her free spirit as well as her money, but usually they’re looking to control both.

Matthias Schoenaerts and Carey Mulligan in “Far from the Madding Crowd.”

PHOTO COURTESY FOX SEARCHLIGHT

Carey Mulligan (2013’s “The Great Gatsby”) stars as Bathsheba, her playful smirk doing nothing to hide the obvious gratification she gets out of rebelling against patriarchal notions. And though Bathsheba makes gradual headway in matters of business, the romance part is trickier. Despite an unmistakable spark with quiet shepherd Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), Bathsheba rejects his impulsive proposal, and then their reversals of fortune render a match unsuitable anyway. (That hand-overthe-mouth sheep scene is positively gut-wrenching.) The humorless but wealthy William Boldwood (Michael Sheen) also sets his cap on Bathsheba — his middle-aged practicality positing the union as a transaction between equals, but we soon sense that he’s secretly trying to protect his heart.

Bathsheba announces early on that the only way she’ll marry is if the man can tame her — the true meaning of which becomes clear when the dashing Sergeant Francis Troy (Tom Sturridge) shows up, unsubtly thrusting his sword through the air at a horned-up Bathsheba. Add a pinch of secrets, a smattering of coincidence, and a soupçon of things unsaid, and “Far from the Madding Crowd” unfolds more as a satisfying frock-flick romance than a portrait of a headstrong woman railing against male convention.

But it’s a little deceptive. Like an Austen leading lady, Bathsheba is more concerned with what she wants for herself than what others expect or require, and not for nothing is the “Hunger Games” protagonist named after her.

“Far from the Madding Crowd” is exquisitely crafted, from the rustic art direction to Craig Armstrong’s gorgeously evocative score, to David Nicholls’ knowing script. But it’s the luscious cinematography by Charlotte Bruus Christensen — she also shot Vinterberg’s 2012 Oscar nominee “The Hunt” — that

sets the film’s vaguely erotic tone, with magic-hour golds, pastoral greens, and carnal scarlets.

And the performances are nearly impeccable, with only Sturridge striking a false note as the underdeveloped Troy, who comes across as little more than a plot device. The stellar Sheen almost walks off with the film as the halting, melancholy Boldwood, his delicate desperation hinting at both a sad past and the fear of a lonely future.

Belgium’s Schoenaerts is a sloe-eyed dreamboat, with a laconic intensity that punctuates his infrequent sentences.

He’s more than matched by the gifted Mulligan, who beautifully embodies Bathsheba’s demands and desires while doing feisty justice to one of literature’s great feminists.

A mashup of traditional sounds and Western pop, Cambodia had a fertile music

scene from the mid 50’s to the mid 70’s, supported by a monarchy devoted to the arts. When capitol city Phnom Penh fell to the Khmer Rouge in 1975, however, that all changed. Communist dictator Pol Pot brutally stamped out self-expression, and many popular musicians were murdered in the Cambodian genocide.

Director John Pirozzi’s crucial documentary, “Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll,” introduces us to significant artists like crooner Sinn Sisamouth and rocker Yol Aularong with priceless archival footage and bittersweet interviews revealing a surprisingly rich tapestry of talent.

Pirozzi — he’s slated to participate in a post-screening Skype discussion on May 26 — also provides us with the necessary historical context to understand the timeline of events, particularly in relation to the unstoppable encroachment of the Vietnam War. But the film is not so much an elegy as it is a celebration: a testament to human resilience and the vital music that one interviewee deems “the soul of a nation.”

NIGHT NURSE

GODS OF THE PLAGUE

Friday, May 22, 8 p.m.

Saturday, May 23, 8 p.m.

Fresh from nursing school, idealistic trainee Barbara Stanwyck has her work cut out for her: caring for two children suffering from malnourishment. With their drunken and mostly unconscious mother more interested in partying than in her children’s well-being; a menacing, manipulative chauffeur (an early role for Clark Gable, without a mustache or dimpled charm); and a shady but helpful bootlegger (played by Ben Lyon) whom Stanwyck meets while patching up his gunshot wound in the emergency ward, you have all the ingredients for one of the tastiest pre-Code films produced by Warner Bros. (William A. Wellman, US 1931, 70 min., 35mm) Part of the William A. Wellman retrospective.

Franz has been released from jail and is looking for former acquaintances. First he finds Joanna, who sings in a bar. She loves him and wants to help. But Franz senses that behind this love lingers a claim of ownership that would take away the last bit of freedom he has. Franz also does not want to be kept by Joanna. He abandons Joanna. Then he meets Margarethe. She, too, is ready to help and, more importantly, less possessive in her love. (Götter der Pest, R. W. Fassbinder, West Germany 1970, 91 min., 35mm, German w/subtitles) Part of the R.W. Fassbinder retrospective.

Dazzling Dwelling on Dartmouth

76 Dartmouth Street The many side streets of Park Avenue are comprised of an impressive collection of late 19th and early 20th century historic homes that form one of Rochester’s most sought after and recognizable neighborhoods. Among them, sits this impressive home built for Thomas and Theresa Moulson in 1907. Mr. Moulson was a prominent early nurseryman in Rochester, beginning his career in partnership with his father in 1864. Before moving to Dartmouth Street, he owned and developed the land that would become the Rochester Public Market, which he sold to the city in 1904.

The elegant Classical Revival façade features a large front porch with a pediment, ionic columns, cross-arched railing, and decorative screen, however, all is not what it seems. Upon passing through the heavy oak front door and tiled vestibule, the home opens to the grand stair hall and resplendent Arts and Crafts style interior. The partially open stair passes behind a screen of wood paneling and stained glass windows ending at the inlaid basket-weave parquet floor executed in quartersawn oak.

A pair of pocket doors with spade motif leaded glass panels leads to the large light-filled living room. Here one is greeted with more stained oak woodwork, beamed ceilings, and another inlaid floor (now a pattern of overlaid diamonds). At the corner of the room surrounding the brick fireplace is the crown jewel of built-ins, an inglenook, complete with benches.

Through another set of pocket doors the dining room is dressed to impress with more stained

oak woodwork, wall paneling, beamed ceilings, built-in window seat, and inlaid floors. Another set of stained glass windows with bucolic tree filled scenes, as well as a hidden built-in silverware chest are the icing on the cake. A large and original butler’s pantry leads to the kitchen that has its original tin ceiling, historic farmhouse sink and coordinating cabinetry as well as newer high quality cabinetry and counters. At one side of the kitchen a short hall leads to the first floor powder room, maid’s stair, and front stair hall; to the other side a large rear porch leads to the shaded backyard and two car garage.

The open central hall on the second floor features one of the many original copper light fixtures, as well as two built-in linen closets.

Four large bedrooms, each with ample closets, two shared full baths in nearly original condition, and a rear sleeping porch complete the set. The attic features the original billiards room with working fireplace, as well as storage rooms and the maid’s quarters.

This 3,331 square foot house is an outstanding example of what the Park Avenue neighborhood has to offer, with an interior you have to see to believe. Contact realtor Marc Salzman (585) 739-6242 for more information and make this unique piece of Rochester history yours for $299,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Is This a Great Country or What?

There’s hardly a more “generic” song in America than “Happy Birthday to You,” but to this day (until a judge renders a decision in a pending case), Warner/ Chappel Music is still trying to make big dollars off of the 16-word ditty (15 original words plus a user-supplied 16th). Its original copyright should have expired, at the latest, in 1921, but amendments to the law and technicalities in interpretation (e.g., did the copyright cover all public uses or just piano arrangements?) bring Warner at least $2 million a year in fees. A federal judge in California is expected to rule soon on whether the song is in fact uncopyrightably “generic” — 125 years after the Hill sisters (Mildred and Patty) composed it.

Can’t Possibly Be True

— In April, WNBC-TV’s investigative unit in New York City reported on a series of fetish parties in Manhattan reportedly organized by a licensed M.D., in which the consensual activities consisted of saline scrotal inflation, controlled near-asphyxiation and controlled arterial blood-letting (in which splatters are captured on a canvas as if made by a painter). An event organizer said the “Cirque de Plaisir” was more of a “performance art” display by a few body-modification aficionados than it was a fetish “party.” Local governments were alarmed especially by the blood splatters’ endangering onlookers and promised an investigation.

— Accused amateur serial tooth-puller Philip Hansen, 56, was convicted on two counts in May following a trial in Wellington (New Zealand) District

Court. Several women had accused him, during 1988-2011, of holding their mouths open and wriggling teeth out with pliers (and in one case, a screwdriver), motivated by his attraction to “gummy women” as a prelude to sex.

He apparently also lauded the “free” service he was providing, since real dentists, he said, would have charged the women. (Hansen allegedly told another woman, with full dentures, how “beautiful” she was — as he was removing the plates, crushing them and flushing them down a toilet.)

Suspicions Confirmed

— In New York City, someone can be fired for being “too nice.” Doorman Ralph Body, 41, was dismissed from his job at an upscale New York City apartment building because he did too many favors for tenants, according to an April New York Post report. Body said he “gave his life” to the residents at the “27 on 27th” tower in Queens, but “upper management” thought such extra kindnesses violated building policy and ordered his dismissal despite a tenant petition.

— When the chief auditor for Hartford, Connecticut, finally got around to checking the finances of the police shooting range recently, he found that the range supervisor had bought 485,000 bullets per year, but was using only 180,000 — and had no paperwork on where the other bullets went. (In one instance, the supervisor acknowledged having bought 94,500 rounds of .45-caliber ammo two years after the department had stopped using .45s and switched to .40-caliber weapons — but his story was that he needed .45-caliber bullets so he could trade them for .40s.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Putting demands or ultimatums on someone you are pursuing will backfire. Take a step back and consider how you would like to be treated. Don’t let love elude you because you are overly jealous or anxious to possess the person you are attracted to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A gentle, affectionate approach to love coupled with a little romance will get you what you want. Plan something special that will show your devotion and your intentions. Keep your plans simple but satisfying and practical, and you will make a healthy impression.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a backseat and observe someone who interests you. Making an impulsive move may be your style, but this time around you will avoid a costly mistake if you slow down and take your time.

Things aren’t as they appear.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your mind will be on love, passion and an unusual romantic encounter. The person you desire will give you a favorable response if you offer an interesting invitation to explore something unique as a couple. Don’t let impulse take over. Savor the moment and the courtship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will exude sexuality and playfulness.

A romantic opportunity will be offered, and a change of heart regarding someone you never considered being with in the past will unfold. Honesty will encourage serious talks and bring about an interesting decision to pursue a future filled with exciting prospects.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will have a magical effect on someone you meet. Show off your playful side, and you will not only draw attention, you will grab the interest of someone you will feel compelled to get to know better. Love is in the stars.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Talk will attract attention but also lead to debates and uncer-

tainty regarding whether you like someone. Focus more on listening and learning, and you will stand a much better chance when it comes to finding someone who will accept you for who you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your passionate nature will lead the way and attract unusually interesting individuals who will fit into your lifestyle beautifully.

Attend functions that challenge and spark your imagination, and the company you encounter will promote a romantic suggestion that is too inviting to resist.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Words will draw your attention, but physically, you

are likely to be disappointed.

Don’t make impulsive promises you won’t want to honor. Bide your time and have fun, but don’t lead anyone on if you don’t intend to follow through.

Honesty is the best policy when it comes to love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put more into your personal achievements, and spend time with people who share your concerns, interests and life goals.
