notesfromglenn My last six months have been marked by three events that change the way I look at life: one very sad and the other two filled with nothing but joy and happiness. On April 1st, my best friend passed away from complications resulting from pancreatic cancer. Steve Graeme became my best buddy in college. We were known by everybody on our small Midwest campus as Chump and Herb (I was Herb). We were inseparable for three years at Hillsdale College, rooming together for two of those years. I plan to share the joyous stories of our friendship and the sadness of his passing in the January issue of Spirit.

hands, the most important “call to action” in their lives—drove me a bit nuts. So five years ago, anticipating a summer wedding at our cottage on the bluff of Lake Michigan (which at the time was nothing but long beach grass), I cut the tall grass and created a beautifully manicured lawn. I had it maintained by a professional landscape outfit for four years in anxious expectation of those big events.

I paid the landscape bills on time—adding a new line item to the personal budget—and perfected tapping my foot.

So come meet my new sonsin-law…Gregg is more of a socialist than a liberal (maybe not, but that’s how I fondly refer to him to create some The two highlights of my family excitement) and life during the last three Brandon is just right of months were seeing both Attila the Hun as a Libertarian. of our daughters get They are both fun, handsome, married.

But maybe being at a wedding reception was the shot in the arm that put Gregg in the spirit of the whole thing. Of course I said yes, and we both threw down a couple shots of tequila. Gregg also has an appreciation for Maker’s Mark and is a die-hard Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Red Sox fan. Maddie and Gregg have two cats, Olivia and Cat Stevens, who unlike their parents, don’t get along.

Cat Stevens

Brandon sells residential real estate. He asked me for Sarah’s hand in the dark basement of our cottage last year while we were looking for a rake. Brandon kept telling me he wanted to ask me something and I kept telling him to go look for the rake. So we found the rake, and he popped the question. I found that odd, but I was told that the tradition of asking for a daughter’s hand has somewhat gone by the wayside, so this was ok. I said yes, and then we went about spreading mulch and all was good.

Brandon is a Detroit Red Wings hockey fan and he plays goalie in a rec hockey league. He has a habit of whistling to himself a lot which is interesting because daughter Sarah has always been a lousy whistler. As of recent, her whistling has improved. Brandon also does a fair amount of talking under his breath. I found this to be quite mysterious at first.

But after spending the summer of listening very carefully, at a distance to not impose or make Brandon self-conscious, I’ve come to find these comments to himself filled with smart, funny, cynical

remarks about people or people’s comments. A few craft beers usually brings out the best in these guarded, surreptitious under-his-breath whispers. Brandon and Sarah have a 203-lb. Newfoundland named Henry. Henry is a sweet dog who requires part-time help to clean his slobber from walls, carpet and furniture.

Being the perfect father-of-the-brides, I imagine the time that the two guys spend together is filled with conversation about their admiration and high regard for their father-in-law. They have become good friends and spend a good amount of time together. Over the summer I witnessed them regularly out on the deck of the cottage laughing and cajoling while pointing back to the cottage in my direction, grinning and smiling, which seemed to give them great joy. How fortunate to be loved and admired!

Best of Health,

Marley and Henry

.Living Art .

Deborah Ronnen with

A little background…

Did you grow up in Rochester? I attended Brighton High School and then moved away for college and graduate school. I returned to Rochester in 1983, and live here with my husband Sherm Levey while all of our (six) children live elsewhere. I love living in a city that is physically beautiful, with mature trees and parks, where travel distances are short, and a sense of community is strong. This is a city that honors the arts with an especially high level of quality, whether music, fine art or theater. I have supported the arts community in particular, serving in various board capacities with Garth Fagan Dance, the Memorial Art Gallery, and the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

Two years ago you had a debilitating accident. How did your experience with Midtown help you in your road to recovery?

I had been working out at Midtown but only became truly focused following an accident in which my assistant’s dog, Harper (see picture above) unwittingly hit me from behind and I triple fractured my ankle. I had great support at Rochester Physical Therapy. Now I continue to work out with Midtown trainer Dave Statt twice a week, he puts up with my telling him what to do. I have also enjoyed the Pilates classes with Lisbeth.

For me, the best thing about Midtown is its progressive mentality. And—great smoothies at the café!

...............

How did you get interested in art? My parents were interested in music and fine art. I grew up attending concerts at Kilbourn Hall, attending the Eastman School of Music Community School and regularly visiting local museums.

Tell us about your career path, and the development of your business, Deborah Ronnen Fine Art? While in graduate school at Columbia University I organized my first exhibit. From there, a long detour took me to law school, admission to a foreign bar and a practice in public sector law. However, my interest in modern art never abated. I was lucky enough to live abroad for 15 years, where I regularly attended the most venerable European art fairs—The Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Documenta.

Upon my return to Rochester, I slowly began to share my interest in contemporary art with others. I have been a lifelong collector and that passion developed into a business.

In what ways do you work to connect people with art?

I have regularly invited artists to Rochester to speak about their work and have underwritten museum exhibits. Over the years I have conducted seminars and lectured on the joy of collecting contemporary art, and how to acquire the skills to do so successfully. I have led small group tours to visit New York City for exposure to contemporary galleries. Since 1985 I have worked as a private dealer, selling modern and contemporary art to my clients and mounting exhibitions in public venues in addition to my home gallery.

Is collecting art only for the wealthy and the art-educated?

Everyone “collects” art in one way or another. Whether you hang your childrens’ photos on the wall or fill your walls with souvenirs of interesting trips. Beginning at a young age, we hang posters of favorite rock groups or museum exhibits. I do believe that the more one is exposed to quality fine art, the more one will seek out work that provides long-term satisfaction, both visually and emotionally.

It can be an intellectual pursuit, a treasure hunt, an obsession, and a very satisfying challenge.

What is your role, and what are your goals, in your position on the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)? NYSCA’s mission to preserve and expand the arts is achieved through its grant making process. Established in 1960, it is one of the oldest and most generous of arts councils, awarding more than 1500 grants annually in the areas of dance, literature,

museums, and folk arts, to mention just a few. Grant proposals are filtered through a three-step process wherein they are reviewed by staff, peer panels, and Council committees before being recommended to the Council as a whole. Council then votes and contracts are issued to the approved agencies.

During my first term I served as Chair of the Visual Arts Committee and was reappointed by Governor Cuomo to a second term in 2013.

My goal as a Council member is to make the funding process work better for prospective grantees. This includes focusing my attention where appropriate on the arts community in my region.

Tell us about your connections to museums such as the Albright-Knox? I am a member of approximately eight art museums and try to attend as many exhibitions as possible.

The Albright-Knox had been a client of mine for many years— both under the directorship of Douglas Schultz and following him, Louis Grachos. I transitioned from “dealer” to trustee in 2009 at the request of Louis Grachos, and have served since that time as a member of the Acquisition Committee.

What changes have you seen in the contemporary art world over the last decade? Are there emerging trends?

The biggest change in the last ten years is the unprecedented prices for works by living artists, and the use of the internet to buy and sell art. The art market today has become an asset class, with contemporary art the leading category.

In the traditional art market, dedicated collectors would buy art to keep or eventually donate to a museum. The impetus to buy art was not to sell art. When the market gets speculative, as it is today, with more people buying art—especially globally—the opposite is true: more people are buying art in order to sell it like any other commodity.

Regular travel to the major art markets allows me to stay in touch with younger artists and newer media. I am always on the lookout for the next Picasso or Jasper Johns. Finding art for my clients that they love, and that will retain its value, is very important to me.

What are the most important things for someone to think about when considering an artwork purchase? Connection— do I respond? Growth, pleasure, placement, protection. Buy what you love, as long as you have a knowledgeable adviser.

By Maria Battista-Hancock, LCAT, MT-BC Expressive Arts Department Chair & Internship Director Hochstein School of Music & Dance

Imagine we are sitting across the table at a downtown-area café. Chatting and sipping a warm café drink, you will quickly learn three things about me. I drink espresso. I love life. I dream big.

I am passionate about music therapy and the arts making a positive impact in people’s lives. Several neuroscientists, researchers, and board certified music therapists like myself, have reported on the positive impact of music. We have discovered that music and music participation can allow for more effective communication, improve memory, release stress, stimulate the brain to heal some lost functions, strengthen relationships, and create healthier communities. We all have a relationship to music no matter our background or abilities.

Music is in the way we talk, rhythm is in the way we walk—you and I connect to ourselves, and others, in a musical way—all the time.

Music is personal. It calls for a response and is inviting. You find yourself tapping your foot or gently swaying to the music, without intentionally deciding to do so. You connect to music on a personal level. The melodies echo your deepest emotions, fears, and desires.

Music is a shared experience. You know how much friends love to share favorite songs with each other. Weddings and parties in general are notorious for bringing people together in dance and laughter.

Music creates a safe place. Music does not disappoint.

Music can help release stress, let go of negativity, and make room for healthier ways of being. The song will always be there for you.

Your emotions can freely and fully form within the music and the experience will eventually provide new energy, by nudging you closer to your potential.

Music increases physical health. You probably used music in your workout session and realized it makes your routine easier and more fun. Take a few minutes each day to move or walk to music. If you have an injury or have difficulties moving, you may want to consult a music therapist for some individualized exercises.

Music helps us connect to others. Making music with others can be one of the most fulfilling experiences. You can join a drumming group, a choir, or take lessons. It is never too late to learn and play music.

Music can be a spiritual experience. All cultures across the globe have some form of religious singing, music, chanting, and drumming. If you choose, you can experience a powerful way to communicate through music.

Music creates new things. Each song, each music-making experience offers opportunities to express our feelings and emotions in a new way. The same song can be arranged in different ways and new music is created each day.

Music is a song for sad times. It allows you to feel disappointment. This is an important step towards embracing what comes next, and moving forward.

Music is a song for good times. Memories are connected to musical themes and songs. At the first notes of a familiar tune, your mind may be instantly transported to when you were 20 years younger. You have a soundtrack to your life.

Music can stimulate brain health. It engages parts of our brain functions to make gym time and rehab exercises fun and less painful.

The Hochstein School of Music & Dance celebrates 96 years of providing excellent music and dance instruction to anyone who is interested—regardless of age, level of skill, background, or ability to pay. Established in 1920 as the David Hochstein Memorial Music School, Hochstein serves approximately 4,000 students annually from a 12-county region surrounding Rochester, N.Y. In addition, the Hochstein School continues its commitment to the Rochester community by offering a variety of free and low-cost concerts and performances in the Hochstein Performance Hall throughout the year.

memberprofile reginasutton Are you a Rochester native? I’m a native of Rochester, growing up in the suburb of Greece and attending high school in Spencerport. I’ve lived outside of the US for the past 15 years, splitting my time between Sydney, Australia and London, UK. Just about all of my family reside in Rochester. I’m fortunate enough to still have my parents alive and a big part of my life, along with two adult married sons, who each have children of their own. I’ve even convinced my Australian husband to move back to Rochester with me too. The best part about being back in Rochester is the freedom to spend a lot more time with all of them, especially the grandchildren.

When did you become a Midtown member? I joined Midtown after returning to Rochester temporarily to attend to family affairs and fell in love with the Club. One of the first things I did, once I knew I was coming back permanently, was to rejoin so that I could maintain my fitness and re-engage socially with the community.

What athletic activities do you participate in at Midtown and outside of the Club? I truly enjoy the wide variety of class offerings, which I believe sets the Club apart from many other facilities. I’m a devoted fan of Body Pump! I love the enthusiasm of the instructors, how motivating the class is, and what it does for my body. Outside of the Club, I get a lot of exercise walking my two dogs, who have traveled the world with me.

Tell us about your career path…it sounds like you’ve done about everything! I began my working life as an industrial engineer and over time led substantial lines of businesses for Kodak and IBM. My roles were based in the US initially and then later on in Japan, Greater Asia, Australia, and China. While living in Australia, I accepted a CEO role as the State Librarian for the New South Wales State Government, digitizing their collection of rare books, maps, manuscripts, paintings, and original materials. From there, I moved into the non-profit sector as the CEO of the New South Wales Cancer Council, raising funds for cancer research and support. These two roles were probably the most fulfilling and personally rewarding for me.

16

What drew you to the pastry business? I’ve always had an interest in nutrition and food. The entire process of planning a meal, preparing it and sharing it with others has always taken me to my “happy place.” Most of my happiest memories have been around the kitchen table. As I grew older, I really enjoyed making desserts, pastries, and bread for people, which was a great contrast to all of my professional day jobs.

The move to London three years ago made me re-evaluate my life. I wanted to make a distinct departure from my career path and explore the possibility of turning my love of food and nutrition into a new career. So, I decided to return to school to become a Pastry Chef at Le Cordon Bleu in London. It was one of the most difficult challenges I have ever faced. I was the oldest “student” chef in my class by a long shot and was not used to taking orders because I was usually the one giving them in my other roles. I quickly learned how to humble myself, work as a member of a team, and study. There were times when I almost gave up, but I managed to pass and do well. The experience was invaluable because I mastered pastry and made a giant step towards becoming more true to myself.

Do you have a Sutton signature dessert? My passion leans towards wild yeast and sourdough breads. I originally intented to focus mainly on the farm-table process of making bread using healthy locally-sourced, organic grains and wild yeast. I even considered buying a large piece of land so that I could grow, mill and bake bread from my own grains.

Is it a challenge to keep your weight under control when you are constantly baking and tasting? As a chef you can’t be successful unless you are constantly “tasting” what you are creating and adjusting if needed. Unfortunately, over the past year while attending school, I tasted a lot! Sadly, I now have about five pounds to work off with the help of Midtown!

Tell about some of your volunteer/philanthropic endeavors and why you are passionate about them?

I am passionate about lifelong education and health. When I was the CEO of the State Library, I was directly involved with the public and their education and devoted a lot of my free time to hosting events to reacquaint the public with the value of public libraries and the contribution they make to our communities.

As the CEO of the Cancer Council in Australia, I was so proud of the work we did to raise funds for cancer research—in particular brain, pancreas, and liver cancers that still remain elusive in terms of cure rates. We also provided free cancer information services to the public. I spent a lot of time traveling, promoting these services and working with local and state governments to convince them of the value of investing in quality diagnostic imaging equipment. Once I am settled, I would like to re-engage in these areas.

Is there a particular person, place or thing that inspires you each day? I’m inspired by the fact that I live in a world today where access to knowledge and information is attainable and always within grasp—with an Internet connection and a keystroke I can go anywhere, learn anything, communicate with friends, and connect with people anywhere in the world.

What do you like least about living in Rochester? I hate driving in the snow! I can deal with the cold, but the hazards associated with driving in the snow or on ice is definitely the only thing I dislike about living here.

When deciding whether to join Midtown, what was the final selling point for you? I was sold on Midtown from the moment I took my first group class. The instructors are simply the best in the world, the variety of group exercise options are amazing, and the members really make you feel welcome. It’s hard to describe what it’s like to come back to a city you were

born in and yet feel like a stranger.

When I am at the Club I feel like I’m part of the community.

How do you find time to exercise at Midtown during your busy schedule? I make it a priority—it’s a lot easier for me to get my cardio done very early in the morning before my day begins. I enjoy the elliptical cross-training equipment and the rowing machines.

What songs can we expect to find on your workout playlist? I like all kinds of music but I enjoy classic rock, most of which brings me back, admittedly, to my college days.

What is your favorite historical building or landmark in Rochester? Wegmans–they’ve become a retail landmark, founded here over 100 years ago and they are a leader in their sector, continuing to innovate and experiment. I really missed them whilst living overseas. Shopping there transforms a mundane task into an experience.

What book are you reading right now? I love to read across all genres. I usually have a few that I’m reading at one time. I’m on book four of The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, enjoy the short stories in The Pier Falls by Mark Haddon, The Nest by Cynthia Sweeney, and The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith is waiting on my bookshelf.

What is your favorite way to spend an evening or day off? Other than experimenting in the kitchen, I like to read and make knitted toys and objects for my grandkids and the home.

Tell us something about you that would surprise most people? My entire family started their adult working lives as industrial engineers for General Motors Corporation.

Name your “Best Day.” It’s always a good day when I get in my workout, produced something of value at work or at home, and connected in a meaningful way with family, friends, or the community at large. I try to do it all, and repeatedly fail. I used to beat myself up about failure or making a mistake, but now I’d rather experiment and make a mistake vs. wonder about what could’ve been. There’s a great French phrase that I love— je ne regret rien (which means I regret nothing). That’s me!

Technical skill development will include better balance and the use of short swings and consistent contact points. Micro court and foam balls are used. [level 6] Ages 5-7. This is a program of movement, balance, coordination and motor skill development. The focus is on self and partner rallying skills on a smaller court to start the foundation of the child’s future tennis development.

Technical skill development will include receiving the ball on balance and controlling simple swing shapes with consistent contact points. 36’ court and red balls are used. [level 5] Ages 6-8. This program will see players using the full demands of the red court. Children will work tactically to initiate and build points by directing the ball away from opponents and into open court spaces.

[level 2] Ages 10-12. This program will see players transition to a larger court and will focus on the development of skills necessary to handle its demands. Tactically, children will work on using strengths to take away and gain time to exploit opponents’ weaknesses.

Full 78’ court and green balls are used. [level 1] Ages 12 and up. Children will work to continue developing offensive, defensive and neutral skills on the larger court. Children will work tactically to continue pushing opponents into defensive positions and creating offensive opportunities for themselves.

HANDYMAN SERVICES | HOUSEKEEPING | RESPITE & 24 HR. CARE

continuingcare retirementcommunities

By Susan Bussey Senior Vice President, Housing Jewish Senior Life

Why CCRCs Offer Peace of Mind for the Future When considering a move to an independent senior living community, families should think about what might come next. What if my parent needs some assistance in the future? Do they have those services available? Will my parent have to move again? One of the best opportunities for retirement living is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). CCRCs offer independent living to assisted living to long-term care, with the ability to easily move from one type of living to the next while staying on the same campus. These communities offer a plan for the future and can relieve stress from seniors and their families.

In a CCRC, typically all levels of care are located together in one large complex. This is ideal, as it makes it easier for the residents to adjust from one stage of care to the next; enables them to easily visit their spouse or a friend who may be either temporarily or permanently in another level of care on the campus; and streamlines the care management process. Families get to know staff members and visit regularly, feeling secure that their loved one is being taken care of every step of the way. The continuum of care usually is made up of three or more of the following components: Independent Living offers spacious homes and/or apartments, as well as a range of common spaces for residents to be physically active, engage intellectually and enjoy social activities.

Residents benefit from various services, such as housekeeping, dining options, transportation and security. Residents are independent, come and go as they please and manage their own lives.

Assisted Living adds a personal care component, with nurses and/or personal care aides providing assistance with daily living activities, such as dressing, bathing, personal grooming and medication management. Ideally this is a residential setting

where residents have their own apartments for private time and a variety of common spaces to enjoy cultural programs, dining with others, and entertaining guests.

Long-term Care is for people who need hands-on care on a regular basis delivered by a licensed health care professional, such as a licensed practical nurse or registered nurse. Longterm care is typically provided in a nursing home setting.

Memory Care offers specialized programming and staffing levels in a secure environment for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Memory care programs may be provided at the assisted living level and/or the long-term care level.

CCRCs offer financial plans that will see residents through their entire stay. Life Care takes the worry out of healthcare planning since members receive the level of care required while remaining at the independent living rate.

CCRC communities work with families to ensure their loved one’s well-being is properly considered, and that they can feel comfortable knowing their loved one is receiving the appropriate care and attention through both simple and difficult times.

Jewish Senior Life is the only Rochester-area senior care provider to offer a full continuum of care and services all on one campus: The Summit at Brighton for independent living, Wolk Manor for assisted living, The Lodge at Wolk Manor for assisted living memory care, The Jewish Home of Rochester for long-term, transitional and memory care, and a variety of community programs and services that enable people to age and live safely, either on campus or another place that they call home.

Serving people of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds, Jewish Senior Life is guided by the values of honoring family; emphasizing aging in place; allowing people to remain in the place of their choice longer; and is the only local senior care provider to offer Life Care, a program which eliminates worries about unforeseen medical expenses throughout the full continuum of care. Jewish Senior Life is accredited by CARF–CCAC and is a member of the Senior Health Alliance of Greater Rochester, Leading Age, and Leading Age New York. www.jewishseniorlife.org

memberprofile rachelfrost Are you a Rochester native?

Although I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I moved to Geneseo in 2007 when my father joined a new dentistry practice.

My parents still live in Geneseo, however, I have been living in a small town for almost a decade and enjoy exploring Rochester and the Finger Lakes region and love every minute.

When did you become a Midtown member? I am a relatively new member, having joined Midtown this year in February.

What athletic activities do you participate in at Midtown and outside of the Club? Outside of Midtown I love to run, hike, ski and paddleboard—basically any activity that gets me out in nature. I make working out a priority and am a happier person when I am active. At Midtown I do a little of everything— lifting, cardio, etc. My personal favorite activities are yoga and boxing. I mostly fly solo, but love to box with my friends Tara and Karen. Recently I’ve started playing tennis again and plan on taking some lessons this winter.

Tell us about being a pentathlete? In the track world multievent athletes are a special breed. Athletes have to have natural all-around athletic ability. They must have endurance combined with the patience to acquire specific skills that may not come as naturally to them. Being coachable is so important, and it is one of the reasons I think things went so well for me. I had wonderful coaches.

You were recently inducted into the Section V Track and Field Hall of Fame. Can you describe what that meant to you? It was a cool experience to be recognized out there on the field amidst a meet where high school kids were competing. I remembered how it felt being a freshman and looking at the older girls and wishing I could be like them, and here I was with young girls looking at me in the same way.

Are you still competing? Not currently, but I would never rule out the possibility of competing again.

What Summer Olympic events did you watch? Everything —I watched it all! The Olympics is my Super Bowl and I have always had a special place in my heart for track.

What do you currently do for a living? Recently I graduated from St. John Fisher with a Bachelors degree in Nursing.

Currently I am working at Strong Memorial Hospital in the Neuromedicine Intensive Care Unit.

Are you involved in any volunteer/philanthropic endeavors? I’m looking forward to volunteering now that I am out of school and have more free time. I think my skills can be best put to use on mission trips to areas where there is a lack of high quality healthcare. I’m also extremely interested in working with military veterans in any capacity.

Is there a particular person that inspires you each day?

My mom—she’s a beast! She raised four kids and is a wonderful role model when it comes to fitness and nutrition. I hope I can be just like her when I grow up.

What songs can we expect to find on your workout playlist? I love every kind of music. My parents got me into classic rock early in my life. I also listen to Dave Mathews and country music, but I usually work out to rap. Kanye, Kendrick Lamar and Drake are some of my favorite musical entertainers.

What is your favorite historical building or landmark in Rochester? Cobbs Hill Park Reservoir, because I love to walk my dog there.

What is your all-time favorite restaurant in the Greater Rochester Area? Highland Park Diner…I’m a cheap date.

What book are you reading right now? All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, but I’ve been known to reread the Harry Potter series a few dozen times!

If you could have dinner with any three people in the world (from past or present), who would they be?

JK Rowling, Freddie Mercury, Margaret Thatcher, a nice mix of perspectives. Oh and Bill Murray for comic relief.

What is your favorite way to spend an evening or day off? Working out, walking my dog, hanging out with my family and friends by a beach or lake, enjoying good music and good food, and binge watching Netflix and new movies.

Unparalleled Financial advice, Whenever you Need it

Gary Michaels Financial Advisor

Wealth Management Since 1969

brightonsecurities.com

didyouknow…

In North America the word “barn” takes a generic meaning for structures that house livestock, equipment and grain.

In Europe they are more specific using terms like byre or shippon being applied to cow shelters, stables for livestock and barn for grain and fodder.

In New England it was common to find barns attached to the main house allowing for chores to be done while sheltering the worker from the harsh northern weather.

In the early 20th century, the traditional barn was replaced by the more affordable metal building. The metal building industry boasts more than $2 billion in sales each year.

Chester, New York may lay claim as the location of the oldest barn in America. Still being used for hay storage on a dairy farm, the axe marks visible on the hand cut beams estimate the barn was built in the mid-1700s.

Red barns came about because farmers added ferrous oxide to the paint which was inexpensive and readily available. In addition to protecting their wood investment it was a poison to mold and moss.

registeringforclubeventsandprograms Midtown hosts more than 200 events throughout the club annually. Here are a few suggestions on getting the most out of planning to attend.

Do I need to pre-register? Yes, you should. We plan accordingly based on the number of people who have registered. Sometimes we need to add an extra instructor or plan an extra session or even order more beer based on how many are planning to attend. Unless an event specifically states “drop-in” or “no registration required” every event requires pre-registration.

Why can’t I just show up to an event without registering? Many of our events have a maximum number of participants based on equipment or room size; plus, events often include food and beverage and we want to have enough for everyone. Occasionally we may choose to cancel an event when pre-registration is small. This presents a problem when members show up unannounced as drop-ins and find themselves disappointed that the event has been cancelled.

How do I pre-register or sign up to participate in an event or program?

There are three ways to pre-register: online at www.midtown.com/event, in person at the front desk or with the Service Coordinator’s Office, or by calling 461.2300 and asking for the Service Coordinator’s Office. Pre-registration is required for both complimentary and fee-based events.

Can I bring a guest? To most events…absolutely! Depending upon the event; if the event is fee-based, the member’s guest may be comped or the guest may be required to pay the event fee and in some cases a guest fee.

For more information on events or registration please contact Stephanie Campanelli at stephanie.campanelli@midtown.com.

shoulderinjuries

Our hands are used all day long to manipulate our environment from the time we wake up until the time we go to sleep.

Whether it’s turning off our alarm clock, brushing our teeth, eating or using our electronic devices to everything in between, our hands are needed to grasp, touch, push or pull objects.

A key component to getting our hands in contact with these objects is our shoulder joint. This joint allows our arm to move our hand in all positions above, below, in front or behind us. In fact, the shoulder joint has the most mobility of any other joint in the body. Consequently, the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissue undergoes high levels of stress to keep it in proper alignment. This is why the majority of the extremity joint injuries seen in physical therapy clinics are related to shoulder injuries.

In order to know if you have a shoulder injury, you must first understand what makes up the shoulder complex and how it can be compromised to create pain and dysfunction. The shoulder complex consists of four different joints: the two main being the glenohumeral (arm bone and shoulder blade which create a ball and socket attachment) and a pseudo joint, the shoulder blade gliding over the ribs (scapulothoracic). Two other joints connect the collar bone to the shoulder and sternum.

The passive soft tissue (capsuloligamentous) structure keeping the shoulder joint together is the glenoid labrum which creates a vacuum pressure at the joint along with ligaments providing more stability to the joint. The dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder are what most people commonly refer to as the “rotor cup,” which technically is called the rotator cuff. This is comprised of four muscles which originate on the shoulder blade and attach to the top of the humerus—the unofficial fifth rotator cuff tendon is a part of the biceps muscle. A large part of our program is training these muscles in order to effectively maintain a neutral alignment of the joint (keeping the ball centered on the glenoid) while moving through various shoulder positions. This ball and socket joint size ratio has been compared to a golf ball sitting on a tee—another reason why it’s such a challenge to maintain stability in this joint.

Shoulder injury occurs when an outside force is imparted upon any of these bony, cartilaginous, or musculotendinous structures in two ways. One is when a high velocity or high

by Richard Fame, MSPT, Supervisor Rochester Regional Health Physical Therapy Center at Midtown Athletic Club

load is imparted upon the shoulder over a short time frame.

Another is more chronic in nature as a result of minor alterations in shoulder alignment which can cause micro-damage and eventually pain and dysfunction. Here are some of the basic and common shoulder injuries seen: Shoulder impingement. This occurs when the space within the glenohumeral joint is compromised and when the arm is moved into certain positions (usually overhead, across body or behind back) can cause a compression on the rotator cuff tendons or joint capsule.

Bursitis. A fluid-filled sac (bursae) in the shoulder joint gets compressed or sheared upon and subsequently becomes inflamed and painful.

Tendonitis. When the rotator cuff tendons become inflamed and painful secondary to excessive tensioning or shearing (as with an impingement). Can lead to rotator cuff tears.

Arthritis. Occurs when cartilage at the joint interfaces becomes worn, and bone-on-bone contact ensues creating pain and decreased range of motion.

Shoulder instability. When the shoulder joint slips out of place or out of socket. Caused by non-traumatic laxity of joint or following a shoulder dislocation injury.

When assessing a shoulder injury we look at all of these components along with overall posture of the shoulder, shoulder blade and upper spine. We also consider overall flexibility of the larger muscles which surround the shoulder joint and strength or relative tolerance to resisted activities of the rotator cuff. A program is then established to fix the faulty mechanics leading to the symptoms. Sometimes the report of shoulder pain does not occur local to the shoulder— in some cases a compromised nerve in the neck can refer pain to the shoulder. This too must be considered. Many shoulder injuries occur due to poor positioning of the shoulders and in the exercise world—poor techniques and alignment with weight training to group exercise classes. If you notice any shoulder pain, have it examined early so the proper adjustments can be made to your daily activities and exercise program to help avoid wearing a sling after it’s too late.

winterwadrobetips

by Peter Roberti Adrian Jules Custom Clothiers

Flannel suiting. Flannel is to winter as linen is to summer—just a little more formal and perhaps a little more recognized. It is perfect in the cooler north eastern and midwestern climates. Flannels are warmer than worsteds, so they are reliable in colder weather. Its heavier weight is comfortable and its matte appearance compliments the muted colors of the season and allows a gentleman to add a touch of sophisticated flair to his wardrobe. Flannel does not have to be the stodgy conformist fabric that it is often thought of as. An easy way to create a stylish suit is to trade out the grey for blue or add fun chalk stripe or windowpane to it.

Managing the cold weather and precipitation. Overcoats or car coats are commonly made of cashmere, camel hair or wool. However, a new cloth that incorporates both nanotechnology (water resistant) and Gore-Tex (wind resistant) technology is lighter and warmer than traditional fabrics used for overcoats.

The Donegal tweed. Donegal tweed fabrics are making a huge comeback on the east coast. The beauty of Donegal tweed is the depth and character of the fabric. These fabrics typically have a base color with specks of multiple colors in it. For example, you might find a solid blue base with specks of burgundy, violet, light blue, yellow and burnt orange in it. It is very versatile; you can wear multiple colors and different slack combinations to change up the outfit.

associateprofile stevepike Paddle Director Glenn: What does a complete paddle program look like at a club like Midtown?

Steve: It’s a combination of social and competitive play.

What I’m looking forward to is to teach people how to play and how to improve current players. I find that people who are improving enjoy the game more. The thing I love about paddle tennis is that the longer the points are, the more fun it is. So that’s the key: as players get better the points get longer.

Then the social part of it: organizing events to get people together, because in order to keep playing you have to have people to play with. Helping to introduce players to those of like abilities is a goal. And, from a competitive standpoint, having leagues that are offering that competitive balance, and tournaments for those who want to strive to that.

Glenn: Are you a fun guy? How important is fun in the scheme of what you try to create in paddle?

Steve: I’m a very fun guy! You might not know it, but I used to be a stand-up comedian. The way I look at it, people keep coming if they’re having fun, not only for paddle but for all aspects of a club. In my previous experience at TCR, I recognized that it wasn’t just a tennis club, it was also a social club.

A lot of what I try to do is help people enjoy it. My lessons are geared for fun…if people are enjoying themselves out there on the court they’re going to keep playing, and they will value their memberships.

Glenn: We’ve got 7,000 members; how do you reach out to those people?

Steve: By making myself accessible. I find the most important thing is being available to people—I’ll be on the court, and when I’m there I’ll certainly talk with people and offer tips. My main goal, and the reason I’m so looking forward to getting involved, is helping people get better at paddle. Break it down, make it simple, take it to the next level.

I enjoy being self-employed, but I missed being involved in day-to-day sports. I like being around people, I like that fraternal atmosphere of a club, members and athletics. This is a great win-win opportunity for Midtown, its members and myself.

Glenn: Are you playing the inter-club league this year?

Steve: I am. I’m excited—I’m playing with a new partner this year, Jason Stephens, who is also on the racquet sports team at Midtown. Part of the excitement of working with a new partner in Jason is figuring out new strategies and techniques. I’m not as physically gifted as some of the other players, so part of my strength on the court is mental and strategic—I think that’s a big part of the game. One of the things I’ve been able to do over the years is figure out how to defeat an opposing team with strategy as opposed to just physical ability.

onecubicfoot

When I joined the Seneca Park Zoo Society as its Executive Director, I didn’t envision that I would soon have the privilege of conducting field research in Madagascar. But for nearly three weeks early this summer, I was immersed in the rainforest, documenting and collecting specimens to record the life found in One Cubic Foot in Ranomafana National Park.

Our mission was to measure the biodiversity in the area. Readers might remember the “One Cubic Foot” project the Zoo Society undertook with National Geographic photographer David Littschwager in August 2015. Through a meticulous process of collecting the life that existed in a very small space in the Genesee River, combined with David’s magnificent photography, a portrait of biodiversity emerged that showed a river teeming with life.

The project also involved DNA barcoding nearly 200 specimens so that a scientific record exists of exactly what was in the river in August of 2015. For that part of the project, we partnered with scientists from the Smithsonian Institution.

Madagascar is one of the ecosystems that the Seneca Park Zoo represents. So we couldn’t wait to replicate the One Cubic Foot project there. The biodiversity of Madagascar is particularly spectacular, because as an island fairly far from the main continent of Africa, life exists there that exists nowhere else. Current estimates are that 90% of the species on Madagascar are endemic, ranging from more than 100 species of lemurs to tree boas, leaftail geckos, radiated tortoises down to a multitude of species of frogs, spiders and insects found only in Madagascar.

We knew that the DNA barcoding we would conduct would add significantly to the scientific record of what life exists in Ranomafana, Madagascar.

By Pamela Reed Sanchez, Executive Director, Seneca Park Zoo Society

Before this trip, I had never traveled to the developing world. Let me just say: travel to and through Madagascar is not for the faint of heart. It was a three-day journey from Rochester to Centre ValBio, the research station the Zoo has been supporting for more than two decades. The ten-hour drive from the capital of Antananarivo to the center of the country is over bumpy, windy, narrow roads lined with bicycles, pedestrians, rickshaws, and more.

Once at the research station, the quest for the perfect biodiversity hot spot included hiking miles of steep trails each day, primarily in the damp mist of their version of winter. These daily hikes (and we estimate we hiked about 120 miles while in country) also featured the art of flicking leeches off your clothing before they found a way to attach themselves. Madagascar is covered with terrestrial leaches, and we removed hundreds from our boots and pants on every hike. My Midtown training definitely helped keep me strong while in Madagascar.

The life we documented through photography and DNA barcoding is astounding. We brought back more than 500 specimens to the U.S., which are presently at the Smithsonian. The photography team is working to produce the spectacular portraits we look forward to sharing with the community this winter.

What I knew would be an interesting trip and important field work ended up being so much more. I learned a lot about myself and came back with new perspectives and energy for our mission of connecting our community with wild life and wild places.

memberprofile jimtaylor Are you a Rochester native?

My family moved here from Ohio in 1962. I grew up in East Rochester and it felt just like Mayberry, except Floyd the barber had an Italian accent. I’m third of five kids—four of us still live in the Rochester area—and both my parents live in Penfield. We still have Sunday family dinner together every chance we get.

Rochester is a small town with big town amenities. I enjoy the four seasons and being surrounded by the beauty of the Finger Lakes. I just wish we had a little more sun in the winter months.

When did you become a Midtown member? My dad built the original Midtown Tennis Club in 1973 and I’ve been a member ever since. I’ve tried other clubs, but there’s no place like Midtown.

What athletic activities do you participate in at Midtown and outside of the Club? I use the gym, cardio and participate in group exercise classes at the Club. Outside, I enjoy distance running, cycling, ski, golf, hiking, swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding.

Tell us about your career path and why you chose to become Taylor the Builders? I’m a second generation builder—I spent my summer vacations working construction for my dad’s company. Building is the ultimate career for folks who like a variety of challenges as opposed to a set daily routine.

I’m able to work with a great team to provide meaningful solutions that help shape the built environment in our community. What could be cooler than that?

What changes have you seen in Rochester’s development over the last decade? What trends are emerging?

Rochester has done amazingly well, transforming from a manufacturing-based economy based to one that is focused on education and research. Our challenge is to leverage these new strengths in a way that translates into real employment growth.

As for trends, I’m excited to see Rochester rediscover its downtown and provide real opportunities for urban living. The timing for this is right as millennials and empty-nesters are looking for rental housing in walkable neighborhoods with multiple amenities nearby. It will be interesting to watch this trend evolve.

Tell about some of your volunteer/philanthropic endeavors and why you are passionate about them?

At Taylor, we promote the concept of serving the community and world in which we live. In the past, I had the opportunity to work on national and international mission projects ranging from orphan housing in Malawi to hurricane disaster assistance in Louisiana. These trips were both humbling and energizing, but wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and co-workers. Lately I’m focusing my energies on supporting the younger people in my organization as they do their part.

Recently, a team of our future leaders organized and managed a Habitat Blitz-Build, where they built an entire house in one week. Others are involved with Heritage Christian Services, Rochester Childfirst Network, Baden Street Settlement, Makea-Wish or Meals on Wheels. To us, the important part is about being compassionate and giving of your talents to help others.

How do you feel about the Midtown facility as it continues to evolve? The facility is great, but what impresses me most is the staff. They go out of their way to make sure I enjoy each and every experience I have at the Club. Hats off to you guys!

How do you find time to exercise at Midtown during your busy schedule? It doesn’t just happen—you need to make the time to take care of yourself. You owe it to everyone that relies on you. I usually fly solo because sometimes I have to and participate in group exercise because I want to!

What is your favorite historical building or landmark in Rochester? Over my career, I’ve had the opportunity to explore many old factories in and around Rochester. I love the craftsmanship, plus the creative ways that architects of the 1800s resolved issues such as building power, natural lighting and ventilation. The solutions are often beautiful in their simplicity.

Do you have a favorite Rochester Festival? Definitely the Jazz Fest. For nine days, Rochester shows its fun side to the world.

What book are you reading right now? No Ordinary Time: FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt during the War Years. I don’t necessarily share their political philosophies, but they certainly demonstrated incredible leadership through some tough times.

musicianscorner:aninterviewwithstephensiegel Glenn William: Where did you grow up and how old were you when you began playing music?

GW: Tell me about your father’s career in event management.

Stephen Siegel: I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and started playing piano when I was about seven years old. In the fourth grade, students were eligible to join the elementary school concert band. Since one couldn’t play piano in the band, I joined the band playing the oboe.

SS: My father was trained as a pharmacist and through a number of career twists and turns ended up as the President of Philadelphia Spectrum. That’s the arena where the Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia 76ers played. Because he was running the facility, I had the opportunity to go see almost any artist touring during the mid1970s through 1980s (which included my high school and college years).

It was great to be exposed to such a variety of musical acts; some of them fantastic, some absolutely crazy. Those were the heydays of large-scale touring, and so there were shows coming through town every week or two.

GW: Who has been the major influence in your musical development, from then through today?

SS: Early on it was my grandfather. He was a professional musician for the first part of his career. When I started playing in the elementary school band, the music director allowed me to try out a number of different instruments, so long as the school had the instruments in their inventory. So within two years I played oboe, tenor and soprano saxophones, sousaphone, bassoon and bass guitar. It was around that same time that I started listening to pop and jazz, which provided another set of influences.

GW: What was the most fantastic show you saw at the Philadelphia Spectrum?

SS: There were different types of fantastic. At GW: What instruments did his peak, seeing Bruce your grandfather play?

Springsteen and E Street SS: My grandfather was trained Band was something as a violinist but then took up you could never forget. saxophone and woodwinds.

Stephen and his keytar Philadelphia was his He played in big bands during backyard, so the shows Prohibition in various speakeasies were great and the audiences were quite enthusiastic. I saw many, around Chicago. He continued playing during the days of live many Springsteen shows during that time period. Another type of radio, when the radio stations would have live orchestras on the fantastic is something like KISS, which was more of a circus than air. He then transitioned from performing music into arranging a musical performance. I got to see Parliament/Funkadelic and all and transcription for the Philadelphia Orchestra and other large of the different variations of that band. Electric Light Orchestra enables. He would write out the music scores by hand and then (ELO) toured with a spaceship that would hover over the stage with write out parts for each individual musician. He had special largea laser light show. I experienced almost every kind of music that format duplicating equipment that allowed him to copy the works. was popular during that time period including artists like Chicago, That was his business up until the time he retired.

Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, Yes, Kansas, and more.

GW: Why do you think so many musicians are off the wall when it comes to their personal lives?

GW: How about internationally?

SS: It’s a creative thing; I think you have to be a bit off the wall to be creative. I don’t think that’s necessarily confined to musicians.

Creative thinking, whether it’s artistic, technical creativity or business creativity, comes from a different place.

SS: There are a number of nightclubs in the Far East that have installed our gear.

We’ve been gaining momentum in Europe, which started with projects Fulcrum Acoustic showroom on Railroad St. at Paris Disney.

We have new distribution partners in China and Europe and are now pushing into some European markets focused on recording production/ post production.

GW: Tell me about your day job.

SS: Like many business owners, my day job isn’t confined to the day. My company, Fulcrum Acoustic, designs and manufactures professional loudspeaker systems for the entertainment industry.

It’s a company I formed with two other partners about eight years ago. We design and manufacture loudspeakers for all sorts of venues, including theme parks, performing arts centers, sports facilities, and houses of worship. Almost any type of facility where sound reinforcement or amplified audio is important.

GW: So can I buy your speakers at Best Buy? SS: Our speakers are sold exclusively to professional sound companies who marry them with electronics and other equipment required to ensure that an entire audio system will function to spec.

GW: So what price point do your speakers carry?

SS: The smallest speaker we make carries a price of about $800 and some of the larger speakers we make for stadium scale projects are typically in the $12,000-$15,000 range.

GW: What are your responsibilities as president of the company?

Young Stephen with his bass (nice pants!)

GW: Where specifically might I find your speakers?

SS: Our speakers are installed in every Disney property around the world. We have product installed in many churches and worship facilities across the country with a heavy concentration in the South and Southeast. We are in a number of sports facilities from pro level football and soccer stadiums to high school basketball arenas. We’re in some of the highest grossing night clubs is Las Vegas and in concert halls and performing arts centers. For example, our products are installed at the new RIT Polisseni Center (arena), and we recently sold a very large system to Dolly Parton’s Lumberjack Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It’s a pretty broad range of customers and applications.

SS: As is typical for many small businesses, we all wear a lot of hats.

I have a balance of strategic and tactical duties. Right now we are going through a huge manufacturing expansion, so I am managing everything from the funding and financing as well as the various strategic decisions connected with our manufacturing scope and direction. I’m also involved in the day to day operations, including admin, sales and marketing efforts. We have a very experienced technical team, led by my partner; they handle the details of the products and the product designs. I tend to get involved in design activities mostly at the strategic level.

GW: At what stage of growth and development is Fulcrum Acoustic?

SS: We’re undergoing very strong growth right now. It’s the result of the work that we’ve put into the business and the product line over the past eight years as well as opportunities that continue to present themselves in our markets. We are adding staff in most

67

departments and are adding capital equipment to expand our manufacturing capacity and flexibility. It’s a time of tremendous growth.

GW: What differentiates Fulcrum Acoustic from your competitors?

The band

SS: Our customers are in the business of installing and using sound systems on a daily basis. They require features that help them do their job more easily and achieve a superior result. We have a number of technical innovations that allow us to supply products that are smaller, louder, have better fidelity and provide other types of technical attributes that make them work better in difficult acoustical spaces. For example, one of our product lines is capable of producing very high sound levels with minimal electrical input. This allows our customers to save money in amplifiers and wiring. In a large stadium-scale project, that can add up to a substantial cost savings for the owner, while delivering better audio performance. All of our products are quite compact for their performance level; this allows them to be more easily integrated into a facility’s architectural design. We have patents and unique technologies that underlie all of our designs.

differences in terms of the sound. A piano can be very dynamic, but a Hammond organ has a huge breadth of sound palette. It can create a delicate, quiet, thin sound or a very distorted roaring, thick sound.

GW: You play a Chopped Hammond B3 when you perform, what’s the “chopped” refer to?

SS: A Hammond B3 (or C3) organ in its natural form is a substantial piece of furniture. It wasn’t originally conceived as a portable instrument, but rather as a more economical alternative to pipe organs. It’s certainly more compact than a pipe organ but moving one is still quite a task. Over the years it has become fairly common to remove the legs from the organ, to “chop” the legs off, and that’s what is referred to as a “chopped” organ. It’s somewhat reduced in size and slightly less heavy, which makes it a bit easier to move.

GW: I am sure being a musician yourself has made you better able to produce speakers that enhance a listener’s experience. We would love to know more about that.

What kind of saxophone do you play?

SS: I own a couple of saxophones, but my most recent acquisition is a soprano saxophone that belonged to my grandfather. Through a long and convoluted process, it ended up back in my hands very recently. It’s been a real treat to have it returned to the family and to be able to play it. It was manufactured in the mid-1920s and it left the family in about 1975 or so. I happened upon it about a year ago.

Jennifer Snyder and Stephen

GW: How is playing a Hammond B3 organ different from playing a piano or a keyboard?

GW: You’re a busy guy with lots of irons in the fire, what aspect of performing keeps you coming back?

SS: A Hammond organ is a unique beast. It’s almost alive in certain ways. It’s completely different from a piano in how it produces tones and how the keyboard feels to the touch.

Hammond organs are motorized instruments; piano is not. The hum and vibration due to the “whirr” of the motors provides a sense of energy and heartbeat. And then there are obvious

SS: There is something completely enveloping about performing.

Music creation exists entirely “in the moment,” which is much different from the planning and strategizing that dominates my professional life. Performing requires complete focus and concentration on both the music itself and the other musicians. It’s a complete release from the day to day stresses of life.
