Rochester needs to change, too
My family is proud to live in Rochester. We believe in it. And we know it needs to change. Its social structure mirrors that of America: there is a white Rochester and a black Rochester. To deny this is to ignore myriad racial disparities affecting black lives across the nation. The poverty rate for local black families is nearly double that of whites. Our public school system continues to suffer the lingering effects of white flight. If we truly wish to become a city united, we all must do the work. Support black businesses. Stop criminalizing black youth gathered in public spaces. Invest in rehabilitating economically depressed neighborhoods. Hold intolerant colleagues, friends, and family members accountable. Research, understand, and support the Black Lives Matter movement. The callous actions of the Dallas sniper derailed years of hard work by inducing hysteria toward a modern-day civil rights movement. Rochester’s recent BLM event was not a nonviolent confrontation as reported. The mere presence of officers in heavy gear insinuated that their mission was not to protect locals exercising their First Amendment rights, but to intimidate. This does not make our community safer; it elevates risk and heightens tensions between residents and local law enforcement. Militarized police forces are most prominent during situations involving black and brown people. 2 CITY
JULY 20-26, 2016
The only two journalists detained while covering the local BLM rally and march were black. Does no one else see the problem? Confusion and fear reside on both sides of the line. I have beloved friends in the military and law enforcement; I recognize the psychic cost of being on the front line in times of conflict. If we can acknowledge the complex struggles of those sworn to protect, can’t we recognize the daily struggles of those living on the front lines of racial inequality? Black and brown people can’t clock out; we don’t have the luxury of stepping out of our skin. We shouldn’t have to want to. So until black and brown lives are valued the same as white lives, we will continue fighting for equality. This fight must include everyone; the luxury of the white bystander must come to an end.

Airport doesn’t show best of Rochester
Thank you for the insightful and accurate column on airport art. The Rochester airport was an attractive and noteworthy attraction before the art was removed. The artists’ work was sitespecific, designed and planned not only for special spaces but for the theme of Rochester’s history, heritage, and its artistic community. Now all that is gone. The replacement ads and diverse decorative, inappropriate objects do not speak for the quality of our community and its talents. Those in charge have little understanding of the impact that an important exhibition has on the traveling public. ROSLYN BAKST GOLDMAN

Silence has deadly cost
What happened when a psychiatrist received a journal of detailed plans for a mass shooting? What happened when someone physically abused his first wife and had a history of being aggressive? What happened when someone decided to practice military maneuvers in a person’s back yard, fully armed? The answer: Nothing. And yet, each one of these individuals was able to stockpile weapons and explosive devices and deliberately plan to carry out mass murder in Aurora, Orlando, and now, Dallas. And yet, the warning signs were there all along and NO ONE thought, perhaps, that these people should not be allowed to purchase weapons to kill the greatest amount of people in the shortest amount of time? Yes, there exists systemic racism, misogyny, and homophobia that need to be addressed. At the same time, there exists systemic blindness to patterns of disturbing and destructive mental illness that call out for attention and intervention. How do these shootings happen? Because we stay quiet and let them. LINDA PRATT

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
We don’t need a park on the Midtown site I hate to throw cold water on the enthusiasm about making part of the Midtown site into a public park, but seriously, folks: No. I know, I know, it was a wonderful scene: thousands of people gathered on Midtown’s Parcel 5 to hear Trombone Shorty the last night of the Jazz Festival. It was great fun. And it was indeed wonderful to see that many people downtown, having a good time, together. But thousands of people crowd downtown at various outdoor stages at every Jazz Festival. Parcel 5 is a prime development site. Developers’ interest in downtown is much stronger now than it was when Midtown Plaza was dying and city officials were talking about things like a Little Italy food and retail complex. Tower 280, Legacy Tower, The Metropolitan, One East Avenue, 50 Chestnut, 88 Elm, 111 East Avenue, the Sibley Building, The Hive, Charlotte Square: One after another, these things have been springing up and spurring more development. Parcel 5 is only part of the Midtown development site, and this enormous area won’t be filled overnight. Whatever we put there should be the best use of that very valuable property. And a park ain’t it. Let me count the reasons: 1) A park won’t pay taxes. This city needs money to pay for schools and police and trash pick-up – and for things like the Jazz Festival, which staged the Trombone Shorty concert. A lot of that money comes from city property taxes. Parcel 5’s use should pay taxes or spur nearby businesses that will. 2) A public gathering space featuring concerts with loud music won’t be compatible with its neighbors. Several of the residential developments under way right now border Parcel 5. These will have lots and lots of apartments. Whose occupants might want things a little quieter at night. Healthy, dynamic cities thrive on the co-existence of a wild variety of uses, but Rochester’s downtown is not yet healthy and dynamic. And even if it were, we would want to plan prudently, not deliberately create conflicts. Putting an outdoor concert space smack in the middle of a group of apartment buildings is poor planning. 3) Parcel 5 as a park, however beautifully designed and landscaped it might be, would be used for big events only a few times a year. Given our climate, it would be empty much of the time. We need uses that put people downtown year-round, day and night. Offices, corporate headquarters,
Parcel 5 is a valuable development site. We shouldn’t close out that option with a park that we simply don’t need.” retail, restaurants, entertainment complexes, residential buildings do that. 4) We already have parks downtown – just a few blocks away. Among them: to the south is Martin Luther King Park, with a built-in concert section. Crossroads Park and Charles Carroll Park stretch out along the river north of Main. All three were intended to add green space to downtown and serve as public gathering spaces. They’re ideal for seasonal uses for concerts, holiday markets, that kind of thing. And there are numerous smaller parks throughout downtown. (See them all on our online map, rochestercitynewspaper.com.) Parcel 5 occupies a key location on Main Street, downtown’s principal street. The city is accepting development proposals for the parcel right now, and I assume one will be for a new theater for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League. RBTL has wanted a downtown site for years – and earlier this week, city officials released a study of the costs and potential for a large theater on Parcel 5. Maybe a theater is the best use; maybe the best use won’t present itself for several years, after the new residential buildings fill up and other development follows. Meantime, yes, we can clean up Parcel 5 and use it, temporarily, for concerts. But it’s a valuable development site, and we shouldn’t close out that option with a park that we simply don’t need. Patience, folks. Patience. Thriving downtowns aren’t built in a day. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Trains carrying volatile crude oil pass through Rochester's Neighborhood of the Arts regularly. NOTA’s president says they should slow down. FILE PHOTO NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
NOTA president: Oil trains pose threat Oil trains have the potential to blow a hole through the resurgence taking place in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts, says NOTA’s president, Evan Lowenstein. And he wants them to slow down. Most trains carrying crude oil do so without incident. But when an accident occurs, it can be a showstopper. A 2013 derailment and subsequent explosion in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, killed 47 people and destroyed much of the community’s downtown, for example. Monroe County is on a major CSX line, and the tracks run right behind Village Gate in NOTA. According to local fire officials, about 30,000 gallons of crude pass through

the county by rail on any given day. Federal regulations limit oil trains to 40 mph in heavily populated urban areas. But by definition, in New York State, that includes only New York City and Buffalo. “It’s basically saying just because a neighborhood’s less dense, those people count less,” Lowenstein says. “If a train derails, it doesn’t matter if there’s 20 people per square mile or 15. It’s still going to be a problem.” And the NOTA tracks aren’t far from the Public Market, which draws thousands of people on the weekends, he says. Lowenstein says he’s made multiple attempts to contact the Federal Railroad Administration, but
the agency hasn’t responded. “It doesn’t sit well with us, because they set this policy and we’re the ones that are sitting feet away from the tracks,” he says. “At the very minimum, they should be calling us back to educate us and discuss options.” Lowenstein has been contacted by US Senator Chuck Schumer’s office. Schumer wants the trains to follow a lower speed limit in more areas of the state, says a Schumer representative. But critics say that the speed limit makes little difference; speed hasn’t been a major factor in accidents, and lowering the limit would only further congest an already stressed rail system, they say.

Deane-Williams will take control of a complex organization with a nearly $1 billion annual budget and a lengthy list of critical issues. The Rochester school district has the lowest graduation rate of large urban districts in the state.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Deane-Williams is first woman leader of Rochester schools The Rochester school board has selected Barbara Deane-Williams as the district’s new permanent superintendent. She is district’s first permanent female superintendent and begins her three-year term on Monday, August 8. Her starting annual salary is $225,000. Deane-Williams has over 30 years of administrative experience, including 10 years as a superintendent. She is currently senior deputy superintendent of the Boston city school district, a system with 125 schools and more than 56,000 students. And she was superintendent of the Greece school district from 2011 to 2015, which has about 14,000 students and 3,700 employees. Cynthia Elliott, vice president of the Rochester school board, said at a board meeting on Monday that she supports the selection because of Deane-Williams’s strong operational and data-driven experience at running a school district. “Ms. Williams understands what’s prevented us from higher achievement,” Elliott said. “It’s our systems.” Deane-Williams will take control of a complex organization with a nearly $1 billion
annual budget and a lengthy list of critical issues. The Rochester school district has the lowest graduation rate of large urban districts in the state, and many of its schools have been identified by the state as low-achieving. The school board has also committed to an effort to improve school culture and sharply reduce suspensions, which has many city teachers concerned about discipline. The demographics of the students in Greece and Boston provided DeaneWilliams experience with a diverse population. And Boston’s public school system is often hailed as one of the most innovative in the country. The board’s selection of Deane-Williams followed a protracted and complicated search that started following a power struggle between the board and then superintendent Bolgen Vargas. The squabble led to Vargas threatening to sue the board, though it never came to that. Vargas left the superintendent job, but stayed on as a consultant with the district until his contract ended in June 2016. Vargas was followed by Interim Superintendent Daniel Lowengard, who had to leave almost immediately due to health

issues. Lowengard’s associate Linda Cimusz assumed the role and agreed to a short-term stay. Then the board and its first candidate for the permanent job couldn’t reach an agreement on the terms of a contract. When questioned about the respective roles of the superintendent and the board — one of the main factors in Vargas’s departure — board president Van White said that the members are looking for a partnership with the superintendent, and that they don’t want to always find themselves reacting to a crisis. They want to be more involved upfront, White said.
Downtown theater options revealed A long-awaited study on the feasibility of putting a performing arts center downtown was released on Monday. The study presents two options. The first is a new 2,850 seat venue for Rochester Broadway Theatre League at parcel 5, East Main Street, at Midtown. The cost of this option is approximately $75 million. The second option combines a 300-seat proscenium theater, a 125seat black-box theater and education spaces, with a 2,850-seat Broadway theater. The project would be located at Court Street and Exchange Boulevard, and the cost of the project would be about $168 million. The study parrots much of what RBTL says in terms of the drawbacks of its current venue, including the lack of air conditioning and that the size and condition of the current venue likely limit the shows that RBTL can get. But the study also says that the RBTL's current facility could potentially be competition with its new venue, if they offer similar programming. It's unlikely that the market could support both, the study says. The City of Rochester is currently soliciting proposals for parcel 5 at Midtown. It has been reported that the Seneca Nation of Indians is possibility interested in owning and operating a casino/ performing arts center on the site. But the proposal is controversial.

JULY 20-26, 2016
The Rochester school board has implemented more than a few controversial and contentious policies over the years. But its school choice policy is in a class of its own. While some people extol the policy, critics say that school choice is bureaucracy at its worst and that it, ironically, doesn’t guarantee that students will get into their preferred schools. The policy, which basically assigns students to schools, is undergoing a serious review for the first time in years, although no one anticipates that the district will completely eliminate its “managed choice” model. The current policy gives parents — within pre-established parameters — options regarding where their children go to school. But many parents and residents long for a return to neighborhood schools, and some Rochester school board members would like to see the current school choice policy revised in a way that puts greater emphasis on them. “When I was campaigning, if there was one issue that was consistently of concern to parents and residents across the city, it was neighborhood schools,” says school board member Elizabeth Hallmark. Hallmark heads the task force that’s reviewing the school choice policy and says that there’s a frustration with the school choice policy that doesn’t go away. But school choice is a complex issue in an urban district with more than 50 schools, and untangling the policy’s many threads will be difficult. Its farreaching tentacles touch on everything from curriculum and staffing to soaring transportation and building maintenance costs. It also affects the city’s neighborhoods and, arguably, its real estate values. But for Hallmark, the debate over school choice vs. neighborhood schools is about inequalities and fairness. Children shouldn’t have to go across town to find a good school or have to walk through unsafe neighborhoods on their way to school, she says. They should be able to find that equal opportunity for a quality education right in their neighborhood school, Hallmark says. And parents living in a city neighborhood that they like shouldn’t have to contemplate getting their child into a charter school, a private school, or moving to the suburbs where school districts typically have more resources, she says.

School choice was one of the pillars of
former president George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind legislation. Parents shouldn’t be forced to keep their child in a failing school because of their ZIP code, proponents said. And opening up the school bureaucracy to competition would force schools to improve to attract students, they said. The Rochester school board adopted its policy for student placement in 2002 and revised it slightly in 2008. In the 2015-2016 school year, the district had eight citywide elementary schools which drew students from all over the city. Another 32 elementary schools are divided into three zones: Northeast, Northwest, and South. Parents typically make their school selections when their children are enrolled in either prekindergarten or kindergarten for the elementary grades. With some exceptions, parents can apply for a first, second, and third choice within their zone or a citywide school. (Students in grades 7-12 are not restricted by zones and can apply to any school.) Parents are likely to get their child placed in their neighborhood or home school, those that are closest to the student’s residence, when it’s their first choice, school board member Willa Powell says. But placement can get complicated quickly, like when parents pick a popular or citywide school such as School 58, for example. That school uses a lottery as part of its selection process. If the parent chooses School 58 as first choice and the neighborhood school
as second choice, they risk not getting either one, Powell says. That’s because the neighborhood school may be filled by students who made it their first choice, she says. And then there are many schools that are under-chosen often based on faulty perceptions about the schools, Powell says. Frequently those schools end up being filled by the district with students whose parents did not participate in the selection process, so they risk becoming schools with the least amount of parent involvement. It’s a problem that can self-perpetuate, making it difficult for the school to improve. Adding charter schools to the mix hasn’t helped, Powell says. And not all parents seem to want their children to attend their neighborhood school for any number of reasons. In 2001, for instance, 59 percent of elementary students attended their neighborhood school, but last year that number dropped to just 16 percent. The concept of neighborhood schools is driven to some extent by nostalgia, Powell says. But lifestyles are different from 30 or 40 years ago, she says, when families, grandparents, and aunts and uncles lived within doors of each other. Parents may select a school because it’s on their route to work, they’ve heard positive things about it on social media, or they don’t want their child walking to school. Assuming that parents don’t select a neighborhood school because it is lowperforming isn’t accurate, Powell says. Further complicating the matter is what district officials refer to as structural

displacement. Some neighborhoods have lots of children living near more than one school, while other neighborhoods are almost childless. Schools in those neighborhoods would be almost vacant if students weren’t bused to them. Ralph Spezio, retired principal of
School 17, is perhaps best known for his campaign to increase awareness about lead poisoning’s impact on city children. He’s now trying to build public awareness around the importance of neighborhood schools. Spezio was warned that School 17’s enrollment would drop precipitously if he stopped busing students there from all over the city. But the opposite happened, he says. “At one point, I was 30 students shy of 1,000, all from the neighborhood,” he says. “School 17 was the center of an urban village. It was vibrant.” Spezio went door to door to meet parents and came to know them all by name, he says. If a parent came to the school, he dropped everything to meet with them, he says. “Everyone knew this was my policy, even the superintendent,” Spezio says. “To be successful in this work you have to build trust with the parents and that will translate to the kids. I would walk down the street at 5:30 and people would ask me to come in for dinner. That’s what you want. It’s all about relationships.” Spezio says that school choice can be revised in a way that still allows for parental choice without cancelling out neighborhood schools. He says that better communication with parents and doing more to help them through the selection process is important. He says that the district also has to get legislators to provide more funding for busing, so that parents aren’t making their school selections based on safety concerns in their neighborhood. And he says that the school choice policy is an area where the district and the city need to work together on addressing housing and education. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the city and school district because the busing is tearing our neighborhoods apart,” he says. “Parents will tell you that the current policy works against what the city is trying to do to create healthy, safe neighborhoods.”

BUILDING ROCHESTER'S FUTURE
TECHNOLOGY | BY JEREMY MOULE
A ONE-YEAR REPORT CARD ON ROCHESTER’S PROGRESS AS THE CENTER OF THIS NEW INDUSTRY 8 CITY
JULY 20-26, 2016
Rochester was handed a big task when the Department of Defense picked the city to anchor a national photonics effort. The region has a central role in growing a domestic ultra-high-tech industry out of research, lab projects, and the few super-high-end products already on the market. It’s been a year, almost to the day, since Vice President Joe Biden flew into town to announce that Rochester would be the home of what’s now known as AIM Photonics. That news generated a lot of excitement, especially among politicians who boldly predicted that the effort would lead to thousands of jobs. Those jobs haven’t materialized yet, but local companies and people involved in the initiative aren’t worried. Integrated photonics — which weds miniaturized optical systems with electronic computer chips — is an industry that’s just found its footing, they say. Job growth will come a few years down the line, after companies get to a point where they have mature products ready to be manufactured, they say. “What people didn’t understand when the announcement got made was nobody is making these things yet,” says Tom Battley, executive director of Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster and New York Photonics, a trade association and

lobbying group. “They’re still trying to figure out how to do it. So the research and development portion is needed before any manufacturing gets done, and there’s really nothing to make yet.” The nascent effort had a rocky start. A few months in, a dispute over the location of AIM Photonics’ headquarters went public in an ugly way. The feud was between some local leaders and representatives of SUNY Polytechnic Institute, which is in charge of AIM Photonics operations.
Legacy Tower, which is the former Bausch + Lomb office building, was ultimately chosen for the headquarters, but the clash caused many people to wonder whether the photonics institute was doomed before it even got off the ground. But some in the local photonics industry say that the quarrel, while certainly not helpful, amounted to growing pains with little lasting impact. Bryce Tennant, chief technology officer for Brockport-based Precision Optical Transceivers, says that sort of struggle would probably have happened anywhere. He’s not worried about it and his company would rather focus on helping the broader effort succeed, he says. (The company has been part of AIM Photonics for a while, but officially became a member in late June.) “AIM is a fantastic opportunity put in our lap,” Tennant says. The effort has momentum, he says. Universities and companies, including Precision Optical Transceivers, are working on projects through AIM Photonics. And more partners are coming on board. Another sign of progress: a state board recently approved $106 million in funding for operations and key facilities in the state. The majority of that money

AIM is a fantastic opportunity put in our lap.” - BRYCE TENNANT

— $95 million — will be used to buy equipment and cover other costs to outfit a critical photonics tech development and testing facility in the Rochester area. The budget is an important milestone, since it shows that AIM Photonics is serious about one of its primary objectives: getting technology out of research and development and into marketable products. The money also reaffirms the Rochester region as the hub of the broader national photonics initiative. AIM Photonics is a massive undertaking. Within five years, the photonics collaborative is supposed to be self-sustaining and showing real gains toward developing a national photonics development and manufacturing industry. WHY DOESN’T ROCHESTER HAVE MORE PHOTONICS JOBS YET?
The main reason is that companies have to develop things to manufacture. Manufacturing is where AIM Photonics representatives and participants expect the largest job gains, but that work is still a few years away. Integrated photonics technologies aren’t a pipe dream; they’re already on the market in some of the very powerful (and expensive) switches that route massive amounts of traffic into, out of, and inside of data centers. Other researchers and firms have developed experimental products, such as biomedical sensors. AIM Photonics’ end goal is manufacturing; the US Department of Defense wants these technologies developed and produced domestically. So it’s bringing together companies small and large, as well as academics, to work together to develop technologies and to transition them from labs to factories. These companies and researchers will
be able to license their innovations in some cases, and generally will be able to pursue some financial benefit from them, says Laura Magee, a spokesperson for Empire State Development. In other words, companies will have incentive to invest resources into research, development, and commercialization work. Down the road, new jobs will be created through research and development work. Tennant says that Precision Optical Transceivers, which has 20 employees, plans to hire additional engineers as AIM Photonics grows, for example. State and local leaders also expect that companies in the field will want to have a presence close to the resources that’ll be available in the Rochester region. That may mean that out-of-area companies relocate here or open offices here, and either scenario could mean job gains for the region. A handful of high-level positions have been filled. Some are essentially operations jobs; Ed White, a longtime Kodak executive, was hired to handle corporate relations for AIM Photonics, a move that has drawn praise. The photonics institute has also made technical hires for a forthcoming development and testing facility, though some of those people were already part of AIM, Magee says. Representatives from Empire State Development and SUNY Polytechnic did not provide the number of hires. Monroe Community College, University of Rochester, and Rochester Institute of Technology have workforce development programs in the works to make sure that Rochester residents are able to get photonicsrelated jobs, and that the companies have the scientists, engineers, and manufacturing workers needed to make their products.
The testing, assembly, and packaging facility, as it’s called, is the first big investment for AIM Photonics, and it’s a crucial part of the whole effort. Dolores Krutchen, who is Kodak’s vice president for the Eastman Business Park, says nothing like it exists in the United States as far as she knows. There may be good reason for that: the equipment is too expensive for most companies to buy and install on their own. But a collaborative, multi-user facility such as TAP would give companies access which, in turn, will help get their products into production. In short, the state buys the equipment, sets up the facility, and then the dues-paying members that belong to the collaborative — AIM Photonics in this case — get access in order to work on their products. SUNY Polytechnic used a similar model to build up the Capital Region semiconductor industry. Albany’s semiconductor foundries will fabricate silicon wafers — completed photonics chips, basically — designed by AIM Photonics members. Silicon wafer production is complicated, and since Albany already has the facilities and expertise, it makes sense for the work to happen there. But the wafers will then be sent to Rochester’s TAP facility, where companies will “package” and assemble the chips for use in products, and test the chips as well as the systems that they’re components of. “That’s the Rochester portion of how we’re going to benefit from this in terms of direct connection,” Battley, of the trade association says. “We will take the devices; slice them, dice them, test them, and integrate them into packages that people can then put in their products.” Packaging wafers is a complex process that goes beyond simply covering them with materials such as glass, plastics, or other materials. The photonics chips are tiny and extremely sensitive. And during packaging, light sources have to be connected to the almost microscopic optical channels in the chip. It’s precise, time consuming work. Packaging is the most expensive part of making a complete photonics chip, says Bob Duffy, chair of the AIM Photonics Leadership Council and president of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce. WHERE WILL THE TAP FACILITY BE LOCATED?
This is one of the next big decisions around AIM Photonics. Empire State Development, which is the state’s economic development arm, will solicit proposals for the location, but the two front runners are Kodakowned Eastman Business Park and SUNY Polytechnic-owned space at Canal Ponds Business Park in Greece. continues on page 24 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Dining Coffee with soul Meraki Coffee Co. INSIDE CHEESY EDDIE’S, 602 SOUTH AVENUE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, 8 A.M. TO 6 P.M. MERAKICOFFEEROC.COM [ FEATURE ] BY CHASE FERREN
Ryan Baker found the Greek word meraki (pronounced “may-rah-key”) on Google. He was searching for interesting names and came across the word, which means “to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work.” Baker chose it as the name for his new pop-up coffee company that recently made its debut at Cheesy Eddie’s in the South Wedge. The name isn’t just an interesting conversation starter with elusive pronunciation; Baker wants it to be a promise to his patrons. In the front corner of Cheesy Eddie’s on Meraki’s opening day, Baker is barely visible through a thick line of customers. In his red flannel and green canvas apron — Baker’s typical uniform — he snaps the lid onto a woman’s Salted Nutella Latte, which is, for now, Meraki’s signature drink. “That might be the last one,” he says, congratulating the customer on making it just in time. If she comes back soon, though, she’ll find a new signature drink on Meraki’s menu, listed on a red felt banner hanging next to the bar. The rotating line of signature drinks will be “coffee cocktails, more like a mocktail,” Baker says. “It’s going to be something that’s super approachable, like the Salted Nutella Latte.” Baker sets the drink on the counter, and his wife, Holly, cashes out their customer — one of 114 people who come in on Meraki’s first day. The coffee bar Baker is standing behind is covered edge to edge with the espresso machine, a glass of tiny Meraki buttons, and a pineapple vase, a symbol for the Bakers’ hospitality. The hand-painted wood supporting it all has its own significance, too. It’s from his grandparent’s barn, which he played
in as a kid. And the front of the bar is embellished with a pennant, an homage to Baker’s love of baseball. Baker has more than three years of barista experience from as many different coffee shops. He started at Leaf & Bean Coffee Co., moved to Terra Cotta Coffee House in his hometown of Almond, and then was on to Glen Edith. “I just love connecting with people overall and letting them know that I really care,” Baker says. “That really means a lot to me. It’s not just a cup of coffee that I’m giving to someone else. This is us connecting, and we connect more over time.” Every customer, Baker asks their name, where they’re from, what they do, and how they heard about Meraki. For the duration of the drink-making process — the woman ordering the Salted Nutella Latte, the barista from Fuego coming in for an espresso, or the South Wedge local wanting a cappuccino — the people are Baker’s real concern. The coffee Baker is using for his drinks (the menu lists the signature drink, espresso, cortado, latte, and cappuccino) is brought in from outside the robust Rochester scene. Meraki uses beans from Parlor Coffee of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. “When I cupped their coffees a little more than a year ago, everything on the table just popped,” he says. “I just really want to be able to bring something that’s new to Rochester and that deserves to be seen.” The South Wedge will find Baker at Cheesy Eddie’s regularly — the store is owned by his aunt and uncle, Colleen and John Baker, and is the ideal location for Baker’s pop-up. This has been Baker’s dream for the last three years. “You could probably talk to most baristas at a coffeeshop and they’re like, ‘Yeah I really want to open up something someday,’” Baker says. “And I just said that for a long time; I just got sick of saying that. As opposed to saying ’someday,’ I’m actually going to make it happen.”

Clockmen “The Dead City Heist” Verlaine Music
Rockabilly Riot SATURDAY, JULY 23 ABILENE BAR AND LOUNGE, 153 LIBERTY POLE WAY 8 P.M. | CALL FOR TICKET INFORMATION ABILENEBARANDLOUNGE.COM [ ROCKABILLY ] Fresh out of the studio with
producer Dave Anderson, the rockabilly heroes in Krypton 88, join Kickstart Rumble and the Surfin’ Cadavers in what promises to be a low-down slap, bang, and twang hootenanny. Add to that an added tribute from each outfit to the late, great Scotty Moore. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
With an accompanying comic book to telegraph the music’s powerful punch and reach, Rochester threesome Clockmen is back with “The Dead City Heist,” its much anticipated follow-up to the band’s 2010 release “No, You’re Fired.” Well, Eureka! Here’s some more smart and heavy indiepunk from the boys that harkens back to Gang of Four, Husker Du, and other instigators of visionary rock, politics, and art. With the album’s sonic-city scene serving as a backdrop, the band plugs away hard but not too heavy, dark but not hopeless. “The Dead City Heist” reminds me when punks/garage rockers The Makers came out with “Rock Star God” in 2000. In this case, Clockmen work in the album’s doom–laden, violent subtext without a shred of deprecation or self-doubt. This is readily apparent if your listening routine has you following along with the included “Dead City” crudely drawn comic book. The music, by contrast, is a well-oiled, guitar-driven machine, a seething, driving, relentless slab of rock ’n’ roll for the thinking man. – BY FRANK DE BLASE

“Spear” Casual Punks
I wouldn’t necessarily call Rochester indie-rockers Pleistocene’s new release, “Spear,” a pop recording, but it has this sweet, undeniably magnetic catchability. The same irresistibility that was first found in the cracks between punk and new wave; cracks that the band fills with a thick, low-fi fuzz, a four-on-the-floor drive, sonic wash, and an endearing dissonance tempered by jangly hooks. But it still comes back to the pop, snap, and crackle and up-tempo drive and cheer. Front woman and Pleistocene founder Katie Preston has a sweet voice that rings out on the more melodic side of monotone without coming off flat or sour, especially when juxtaposed with her guitar, with its reverberating minimalistic surf adventure. And in adherence to indie quirky fun and impish difficulty, “Spear” is a cassette-only (that’s right, cassette) release with a full-digital release promised for later this summer. How you get it into your bloodline matters little. Just get it and dig when it goes “pop.” – BY FRANK DE BLASE

Guitarist Roger Kuhn: Singing the blues as if he’d had them for 100 years. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE
Kuhn’s tunes [ PROFILE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
He’s everywhere. Roger Kuhn is a fixture around these parts, a ghost if you will, steeped in the blues. A busker at heart, Kuhn can be seen throughout Rochester with his shiny Dobro, squeezing Washingtons – and the occasional Lincoln – out of passers by. Some stop and listen before shelling out their pittance as an appreciative Kuhn, the skinny white antithesis of the blues, sings those blues as if he’d had them for 100 years. Why the blues? “To quote the godfather of the blues, Son House,” Kuhn says, “‘The blues come from a person, having a dissatisfied mind and some kind of sorrowness in his heart about being misused by somebody.’ And let me tell you, I have been misused.” “It’s a long list from early age until present day,” he says, purposefully skirting the details. “Sometimes when I think about it, and I feel about as bad or upset as a man can feel, I find solace in the thought that the good Lord might just want it that way. So I keep on singing and playing.” Kuhn isn’t looking for sympathy. There’s not much empathy making the rounds, either, from listeners who, with Kuhn’s help, may stumble upon the fact that, “Hey I don’t have it so bad, by comparison.” Kuhn’s not sure about that. “It’s hard for me to say,” he says. And he adds: “I don’t have much of a following.” So he meddles in this blue catharsis for himself as much as for anybody.
“It is a relief to be able to get it out,” he says. “Music is my outlet for letting out all those feelings and emotions. Those moments of happiness are short lived and fleeting, and to hold onto them for too long is nearly impossible. Once the show is over and the comfort is found, before I can tip my hat or blink an eye, the next heartache is right around the corner.” And just when you think the cat is mired down deep in his own misery, you stop, listen, and discover that Roger Kuhn’s blues – though suffered by the musician himself – are beautiful. They just come from an ugly place. He needs this background ugliness to face his blues. He wasn’t always hip to this fact. “I recently had a bit of an epiphany from a serious heartbreak,” Kuhn says, “in that a lot of the songs that I’ve written on the first two records confronted that loss, that pain. And now that I’ve faced it and sung about it hundreds of times and gotten though it – I didn’t know what to sing about. Fortunately, the next disappointment or series of disappointments followed soon thereafter. There’s always going to be a source of material. There will never be – at least how I’ve seen it in my life thus far – a shortage of material for me to draw from.” But Kuhn isn’t the proverbial laughin’ to keep from cryin’ character. “I like to think of myself as an optimist,” he says. “It’s almost like welcoming a difficult situation, because there’s something better at the other end.” You don’t need the blues, necessarily, to enjoy or understand Kuhn’s music. He is a
THIS WEEK in the PUBLIC MARKET DISTRICT Market Days... 52 Weeks a Year! rudimentary player of sly sophistication, bubbling beneath all the lyrical deprecation and wit. This sophistication has arisen with his introduction to the slide guitar. It didn’t come easy. “I’ve never been much of a guitar player to begin with,” he says, “but it’s worked. I’ve never had any lessons. Everything I learned, I picked up along the way.” Starting out, Kuhn had roughly 12 songs: The Dead, Dylan, Lightning Hopkins, etc. “I was surprised people kept calling me for gigs,” he says, “because I really didn’t have that much material. I poured everything I had into those songs. I bluesified them, and people would often ask me if they were my own tunes, because they were almost unrecognizable.” It was around this time that people kept approaching him suggesting slide guitar and the associated open tunings. “I was almost getting angry,” says Kuhn. “I had tried slide guitar a number of times, and I just could not do it. I didn’t have the feel for it. I didn’t know how it worked.” While hanging out one day at slide guitar-master Genesee Johnny’s crib, there were some slides on the table. Kuhn picked up the biggest, heaviest one and put it on. And like Cinderella’s slipper, it worked. “It was magic,” Kuhn says. “The clouds were opened. Everything changed in that moment. I couldn’t get enough. I spent hours in my kitchen or bathroom – excellent acoustics – late at night, just playing. The songs were pouring out of my head and from the depths of my soul.” You can catch Kuhn on wax via one of his three releases, including his latest gem, “Dead Man’s Shoes,” and at assorted clubs and curbs throughout the city. He’s working on putting together and fronting an all-electric blues band and has begun writing a country album. With his rapid mastery of this style, Kuhn now switches off between storied songs and instrumental tunes where the narrative is put in the keeping of the listener; Kuhn’s blues are yours. “It’s like when I first heard the Blind Willie Johnson tune ‘Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground.’ It was more profound than anything I’d heard with words. That song, with just him moaning and just the sadness of the guitar itself….”

Mr. Darcy (Gregory Mahue) and Elizabeth Bennet (Heather Botts) share a tense dance together in the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival’s production of AUSTEN’S PRIDE running July 13th – 24th at the Callahan Theater at Nazareth College Arts Center. PHOTO PROVIDED
First impressions, second chances “Austen’s Pride: A New Musical of Pride and Prejudice” REVIEWED FRIDAY, JULY 15, 2016 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 24 NAZARETH COLLEGE ARTS CENTER, 4245 EAST AVENUE, ROCHESTER TICKETS START AT $32 FINGERLAKESMTF.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
Since “Pride and Prejudice” was published in 1813, the British novel has inspired everything from comic books and fan fiction to plays, films, and TV shows. But with the exception of one 1959 Broadway musical – “First Impressions,” named after Jane Austen’s first draft of the novel – the romantic tale of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet has not been adapted for the musical stage. Now, one creative team is working to change that. Though Amanda Jacobs and Rochester resident Lindsay Warren Baker are describing their theatrical adaptation, “Austen’s Pride: A New Musical of Pride and Prejudice,” as a new musical, the idea dates back to 2000, when the two discovered their mutual love for Austen’s work. Over the last 16 years, their show has grown from an idea and a series of research meetings with the Jane Austen Society of North America to a concert version at the Eastman School of Music (where Baker teaches) in 2008 and an official selection of the New York Musical Theatre Festival’s 2011 Next Link Project. 18 CITY JULY 20-26, 2016
Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival, which has a longstanding history of developing new works, is presenting the regional premiere of “Austen’s Pride” at the Nazareth College Arts Center through July 24. The beloved story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy comes alive in a new way as the plotline weaves in appearances from Jane Austen herself (along with plenty of contextual history to please the Austen history buff). Because many of Austen’s characters and novels are thought to be inspired by her experiences, the narrative Jacobs and Baker have penned works quite well. Like the show, the casting has gone through many changes: Last December, there was a workshop performance of the show at Nazareth College, which featured mainly students. Three of the same Nazareth students were cast for this performance (though in different roles, for the most part), and additional auditions were held in Auburn, where Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival is based, and in New York City. The show begins with Jane Austen (Lindsie VanWinkle) receiving news of success regarding her recently published novel “Sense and Sensibility.” The publisher wants more work – what will she send? In the role of the famed author, VanWinkle is effervescent, and her vocals soar. Though a portrait of Jane Austen isn’t known to exist, VanWinkle’s mannerisms and portrayal of Austen are so natural that it’s easy to imagine Austen looked exactly like VanWinkle, with brunette locks and large, expressive eyes. Austen’s sister Cassandra (Jennifer Evans) also makes an appearance in the plot. As the encourager and
cheerleader of Austen, Evans is an effective counterpart. She too brings pleasing vocals, as well as the grace and levity needed to complement Austen’s spunk. Given that the show was in rehearsal for just two weeks, the 18-person cast is strong throughout, with each actor receiving their own spotlight moments. This is a cast that collaborates beautifully to tell a classic, beloved story. (It’s also a startlingly young cast, though it features a decent number of Actors’ Equity Association members.) The 22 musical numbers moved easily, with no glaring mistakes or grimace-inducing notes. Even when there was a tech outage during a number, the cast powered on. The leading duo, Mr. Darcy (Gregory Maheu) and Elizabeth Bennet (Heather Botts) have an excellent chemistry onstage – crucial to the success of any “Pride and Prejudice” retelling – and particularly delightful moments during “The Portrait Song” in the second act. And although audience members argued the best Darcy portrayals during intermission (“Was it Colin Firth? It definitely wasn’t Matthew Macfadyen”), they agreed Maheu was an excellent Darcy. Other standout cast members include Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (David Studwell and Alison England), who were seemingly destined to play these roles opposite one another, as well as Mary Bennet (Nazareth student Abby Swanson) and Mr. Collins (Zachary Tallman), who were responsible for many of the show’s comical moments. The number “Lady Catherine de Bourgh,” especially, had the entire audience laughing out loud. The set is a semi-circle of interchangeable columns, walls, windows and curtains – brilliantly designed by Josh Zangen. Director Igor Goldin, who has been with the production since 2011, has clearly worked with the creative team to build an aesthetic that allows for the storyline to stay fluid as it passes in and out of fictional scenes. Choreographer Jeffry Denman draws from historical dances to recreate the ball at Netherfield and narrate major plot twists like Lydia Bennet’s trip to Brighton. Costume designer Shirlee Idzakovich refers to history as well, using muted colors, empire waists, and basic accessories to communicate the economic status of the characters. Even though the show is still undergoing a workshop process, “Austen’s Pride: A New Musical of Pride and Prejudice” is a must-see for Jane Austen fans. For those who’d like to offer feedback, there will be a talkback with the creative team and the cast after the 8 p.m. show on Friday, July 22.

ART | “GLORIOUS, VIBRANT, AND VITAL” “Glorious, vibrant, and vital” are the words that Rochester architect, writer, and stage designer Claude Bragdon (1866-1946) accurately used to describe the women in his life. Bragdon’s varied career led him through many social, artistic, and physical locations, and each step of the way provided him new women who mentored and nurtured him both personally and professionally. From family to friends and acquaintances, Bragdon’s circle tended to include a number of notable women whom he chose to celebrate. This collection and preservation exhibit includes photos, artwork, books, and manuscripts. “Glorious, Vibrant, and Vital” continues through August 6 at the Rush Rhees Library, University of Rochester River Campus.

Once banned in early 20th-century Germany for its themes of youthful lust and exploration, Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play “Spring Awakening” has produced one of the most cutting-edge musicals of the past decade. The adaptation, created by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, opened on Broadway in 2008 and went on to win eight Tony awards, including best musical. The story follows a group of German teens at the turn-of-the-century: repressed by parents, schoolmasters, and their own sexualities, the friends begin to learn from each other. OFC Creations and RAPA are partnering with the LGBT Giving Circle and the Gay Alliance to present the show with a local cast — including many familiar faces in leading roles — through July 31. “Spring Awakening” continues through Sunday, July 31, at Kodak Center Executive Theatre, 200 West Ridge Road. 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. on Sundays. The Saturday, July 23, performance will feature ASL interpretation as well as a post-show talkback, and the July 30 show will also have a post-show talkback.

Who you gonna call? “Ghostbusters”
he gave the world one of pop culture’s most honest and heartfelt depictions of geekdom. (PG-13), DIRECTED BY PAUL FEIG Plus, the director has had an unparalleled run NOW PLAYING of financially and critically successful comedies, including “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat,” and “Spy.” [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW In short, the controversy is (and always was) dumb. The new “Ghostbusters” is a blast, and It’s finally here. Since first being announced late that’s all that matters. in 2014, Paul Feig’s reboot of “Ghostbusters” has Kristen Wiig plays Erin Gilbert, a mildbeen the subject of scorn from a vocal contingent mannered physics professor up for tenure at of (mostly male) fans of Ivan Reitman’s original Columbia University. Erin has worked to distance films, angry that Hollywood would dare remake herself from her early days working with former a beloved piece of their childhood. Never mind best friend Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), with that Hollywood does this all the damn time. whom she co-authored a book on paranormal Riling up the hordes even more was news that science. While Erin went the respectable route, Feig’s movie would forgo the dude vibe of the Abby continued to study the supernatural original to center around an all-female team of alongside eccentric engineer cohort, Jillian paranormal exterminators. Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon). It’s ironic that Feig would be the one to earn When Erin discovers that Abby has the ire of nerds. As creator of “Freaks and Geeks,” republished their book without permission, she heads off to confront her exfriend, only to end up accompanying the pair when they’re called in to investigate a possible haunting in a historic mansion. This leads to the uncovering of a plot to unleash a supernatural apocalypse on the Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Leslie Jones in “Ghostbusters.” city, one that only PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES

they are capable of stopping. Along the way, the team’s ranks expand to include Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), an MTA worker and amateur history buff who joins the group after a hair-raising encounter with a very angry apparition, and Kevin (a delightfully absurd Chris Hemsworth), the team’s hunky but spectacularly dim-witted receptionist. Like most of Feig’s films, “Ghostbusters” is an examination of female friendship, and the likeability and easygoing, natural chemistry of the ensemble makes it work. Thankfully, they’re not saddled with playing variations on the original film’s team; each actress gets to play her own character, tailored to their own unique talents. Playing more subdued characters than we’re used to, Wiig and McCarthy capitalize on the easy rapport established in “Bridesmaids,” while Jones brings a prickly energy that enlivens all her scenes. Of the four, McKinnon gets the least to do, but she still practically walks off with the movie. You find your eyes drifting to her even during moments that she’s not the center of, just to watch her reactions. She adds a zany, anarchic spirit that, if anything, the movie could have used even more of. Feig and co-writer Katie Dippold are known for their R-rated comedies, and while here the humor is often very funny, it can feel constrained by the need to play it safe for the kids. Rowan (Neil Casey), the film’s nerd-gonewrong bad guy, is a sad-sack loner who’s been bullied so long that he relishes the chance to become a bully himself. It’s a sharp concept that allows the film to strike back at the naysayers, though in keeping with the pattern of modern

summer blockbusters, by the end the script isn’t entirely sure what to do with its villain. It does, however, give audiences the loaded image of the women attacking their adversary by aiming their blasters squarely at his crotch. Like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” before it, “Ghostbusters” sometimes feels trapped by a sense of nostalgia. References and callbacks abound (almost the entire original cast make cameo appearances) and occasionally the film feels so busy trying to please fans that it forgets to forge its own path. The bitter irony is that a large number of the fans it’s working so hard to please have already made up their minds to never go see the movie in the first place. I liked these new characters so much I wanted to see them in adventures that weren’t quite so referential. The film’s chaotic third act goes a bit overboard with CGI, as Times Square is besieged by an army of ghostly invaders. Feig also clearly sets the stage for a huge choreographed dance number that never happens – though it still makes an appearance over the end credits. Likely axed to keep the pace moving, it also leaves the film without a set piece as instantly iconic as anything in the original film. Those issues aside, “Ghostbusters” left me with a smile on my face from the opening (and genuinely spooky) haunting. With an appealing cast and the kind of good-natured, goofy fun this summer movie season has been sorely lacking, the film should have no trouble pleasing audiences willing to give it the chance.

It’s possible, though unlikely, that neither site is chosen; TAP could also be split between more than one site, Duffy says. So some equipment and work could go to Canal Ponds, some to Eastman Business Park, for example. The money budgeted for TAP equipment and renovation is site-neutral, and the decision on the location will be based on technical specifications developed by some of AIM Photonics’ scientific leaders, Duffy says. Canal Ponds and Eastman Business Park have clean room, assembly, lab, and office space in single buildings. All of those are necessary for TAP. Kodak’s Krutchen says that Eastman Business Park is built for R&D and manufacturing work, and that the staff has experience scaling-up complex technologies and products for production. The park also has space that companies, including start-ups, can move into, she says. State officials have already pegged Eastman Business Park as a likely location for photonics manufacturing operations. Ultimately, Krutchen expects activity at Canal Ponds, Eastman Business Park, and other locations. “With the size of this project, I think you’re going to find every clean room in Rochester and broader that will be leveraged,” she says. “The thing no one knows is how long will that take, from when they have their first product or their first piece that’s packaged, to when it actually starts going into product.” Some of Eastman Business Park’s backers point to another reason that the park should get the TAP facility: state and federal investigations into SUNY Polytechnic. The investigations center on whether SUNY Poly President Alain Kaloyeros and a lobbyist hired by the school, Todd Howe, rigged bids for certain projects. The federal investigation deals with the Buffalo Billion, while the state investigation deals with a SUNY Poly dorm. They say that Canal Ponds could get caught up in legal complications if the investigations lead to charges. It’s not clear when a decision on the TAP facility’s location will be made, since Empire State Development hasn’t released its proposal request. But Duffy says that the facility should be up and running by the end of 2017 or early 2018.
Some local optics and photonics companies are hanging back and waiting to see where the overall effort heads. Precision Optical Transceivers is not one of them. The company produces optical transceivers, which are essential in fiber optic networks. They receive encoded light from the fibers, translate it into data that a

device’s chips can use, and transmit encoded light back into the network. Some of the company’s transceivers are used in fiber Internet modems, for example. Data communication just so happens to be a focus area for AIM Photonics. And Precision Optical Transceivers wants to provide better systems for its customers, which means driving up the quality and speed of its equipment while cutting down its power usage and costs. The company sees integrated photonics technologies, particularly the subset of silicon photonics, as the way to accomplish that. Precision Optical Transceivers has already started on a project through AIM Photonics, working with professors at Rochester Institute of Technology and Columbia University. Another company is working on the same project, so there will probably be a chance for the businesses to collaborate, Tennant says. Because intellectual property is involved, however, Tennant couldn’t discuss details. It’s costing the company money and time to participate in AIM Photonics; it’s a Tier 3 member, and is covering its $100,000 obligation partly in cash and partly through in-kind contributions, Tennant says. And it wants to move up a tier within the next year. But Tennant considers the cost an investment. Within five years, the company will have access to a cuttingedge factory, will have better products to offer customers, and will have built connections across the photonics industry and academia, he says. “How do I put a number on that investment?” Tennant says. “You can’t.”

Classic Curb Appeal
147 Rockview Terrace If you’re a family or young professional looking for a quality, affordable historic home with great curb appeal , look no further than 147 Rockview Terrace in the Lyell-Otis neighborhood. Listed at a very attractive $64,900 and offering 1,152 square feet of living space with plenty of original detailing intact, you stand to get a lot of bang for your buck. A large, full width front porch with a bead board ceiling sets the tone right off the bat. It’s a perfect spot to make your summer living room and enjoy morning coffee, a lazy weekend afternoon nap, an evening’s dinner and drinks, or just to watch the neighborhood go by. From the porch, you step into a tiled entry. Straight ahead are the stairs and a coat closet. (Interesting side note: the coast closet also happens to contain the laundry chute and connects up to the kitchen at the rear of the house). To the right is the living room. All around you are unpainted original wood doors and unpainted woodwork. The original hardwood floors are present throughout most of the home. The living room can be closed off from the entryway with a leaded glass door. Large front windows offer lots of natural light. The living room opens to the dining room, which in turns leads to a spacious kitchen. Depending on your perspective, the kitchen is either a blank slate for your own modern updating or a retro mid-century
modern time capsule not to be tampered with. Either way, it offers loads of space and access to the basement stairs and side driveway entrance. Upstairs are three bedrooms, all with closets, unpainted woodwork, doors and original hardwood floors. A spacious hallway bathroom could be updated to your own tastes. The unfinished attic provides plenty of room for storage or potential for expansion for a growing family. Outside you can enjoy gardening or relaxing in a modestly sized backyard. The front yard boasts a lovely Japanese maple. The property also has a one-car garage and a brand new roof. Both the exterior and interior have clearly been well maintained over the years. Within easy walking distance are the commercial amenities of Lyell Ave. Visit the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association website (www. lyellotis.com) to learn more about the neighborhood. To schedule a visit to 147 Rockview Terrace, contact realtor Angela Penkin of RE/MAX Plus at 585-746-2897. by Caitlin Meives Caitlin is a proud city resident and the Preservation Planner at The Landmark Society of Western New York.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 27 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Serious romance, love at first sight and lots of unexpected changes in your personal life are heading your way. Good fortune will be the result of a union you form with someone just as experimental and entertaining as you. Romance should be your No. 1 priority. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll misread the signals being sent, causing unexpected responses from someone you thought was eyeing you. Get involved in organized dating services or events that will help you focus on other singles rather than those already attached to someone else. Play it safe, and avoid being sorry.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your heart is in the right place and your motives are genuine, but your inability to reject someone will send the wrong message, leaving you in a situation that gets more difficult to deal with. If you just want to be friends, say so and move on. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be tempted to backtrack when it comes to love. If a relationship didn’t work the first time, consider why, and rethink your desire to get back into a similar situation. If you think forward when it comes to love, you will end up with an appealing partner who has plenty to offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A serious relationship is what’s generated by the planetary configuration hitting your Sun sign. Look for true love, and make your move. A proposal will keep you heading down the path toward greater personal and emotional stability. Offer your heart, and get ready to say your vows. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a clear mind when it comes to love and romance. Start slow, and you will be able to establish boundaries that ensure equality and the possibility of a forever relationship. Don’t cave under pressure. If someone is pushing you, he or she is not the right partner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get immersed in something you feel strongly about, and you will encounter someone who is just as dedicated and loyal as you. The effort you both contribute as a team will encourage a twist of fate that will result in a deep, spiritual relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be faced with emotional turmoil when it comes to relationships. This week will be a roller coaster ride that is not for the faint of heart. Before you get involved, make sure you are ready to deal with the variances you will both bring to the relationship. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stop wagering the pros
and cons, and make a decision before you lose the opportunity to do so. You can play emotional games for only so long before it will turn into an irreversible situation that will leave you wishing you had expressed your true feelings before it’s too late. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Question the motives of anyone coming on to you too aggressively. Ulterior motives are present, and you should protect yourself against someone trying to figure out how much and what you have to offer. A false impression will be offered to put you at ease. Don’t reveal personal information just yet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Emotions will be close to the surface. Your reaction toward someone showing possessiveness is likely to leave you feeling cold. Walk away from anyone trying to dictate what you can or cannot do. Your freedom to express and experience life must not be controlled by anyone but you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Romantic opportunities will surface when you least expect them. Interesting relationship options will be offered. Consider the partner willing to meet you halfway. If you can enjoy and respect each other’s pastimes, traditions and beliefs, you will be able to turn your relationship into something special.
