Rethink Midtown park
In reading your Urban Journal on Midtown (“We don’t need a park on the Midtown site,” July 20), you make reference
to being patient in revitalizing downtown. However, developing an outdoor entertainment venue would be great in encouraging community participation and creating a great party atmosphere. Wouldn’t it be great to have entertainment the size of the Jazz Fest and East End without having to close major downtown streets? The city could flood the area during winter and create a wonderful snow park/ice rink. DON TOSTI
Easing worries about oil trains
I can certainly understand Evan Lowenstein’s concern about highly flammable Bakken oil traveling by rail within sight of the Neighborhood of the Arts (News, July 13). No argument there. But perhaps I can help him breathe a little easier. First, yes, “a major CSX line” is actually mild language for what used to be the New York Central’s signature Water Level Route, and it remains one of the busiest in the country. But current CSX management has treated it as such and maintains it to a very high level. Second, oil traffic is often re-routed south of the city center via the West Shore Line bypass, which has also recently been given major maintenance attention. 2 CITY
AUGUST 3-9, 2016
Just this morning I happened upon a solid train of oil moving east on the West Shore, its estimated speed at or slightly below the area 40 mph limit, and with a specially-designed impact-absorbing “buffer car” at the rear. One could tell by the sound how smooth the ride was. Finally, there now is a government-imposed program under way to strengthen the standard tank cars at several crucial structural points, and aided by a recent slackening in demand, the oldest and worstoffending cars are now in safe storage all over the country. Progress? Overdue, yes, but certainly evident, at least in our neck of the woods. BRUCE BEARDSLEY
On the possibility of Rochester getting a bikeshare program:
The bike-share concept sounds great, but when you look at the risks posed by riding a bicycle in a city, you come to the conclusion that taxpayers are eventually going to get raked over by bike injury-related lawsuits at some point. The mortality rate among cyclists ages 35 to 54 has tripled in the last four decades, an indication of how risky riding a bicycle can be. Most, if not all, bike-share programs do not provide helmets. Wearing a helmet can cut the death risk of riding a bike in half; this alone tees taxpayers up for easy pickings once a bike-share participant suffers a head injury. The risk to the taxpayer’s wallet just isn’t worth it. If you want to ride a bike in the city, ride your own bike, not one that sets the taxpayer up for paying a huge lawsuit settlement. ANIMULE

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Electing a president of a divided nation That was quite a show the Democrats put on in Philadelphia last week. And it’s hard to imagine anything that better displays the differences between the Democratic and the Republican parties – and anything that better spells out the dangers Donald Trump presents. All in all, it was an emotional, inspirational four days, highlighted by Khizr Khan’s powerful Trump take-down. Khan, a immigrant from Pakistan, defined the Republicans’ candidate – and laid out what America should be, and can be – in a way no one else could. By the convention’s end, I was relaxing a little, easing back from the dread the Trump show had inspired: The Clinton campaign has it under control. The America on display at the Democratic convention was the America that we know and want. Put all those folks on the road, air clips from their speeches for the next three months, and a Clinton landslide in November isn’t out of the question.
And yet… it’s too early to know whether the Democrats can persuade enough people to get Clinton elected. It’s too early to know whether they can convert Bernie Sanders’ unhappiest supporters. Too early to tell whether they can sway the antiClinton voters who plan to support Green Party candidate Jill Stein as a statement of principle. Maybe all of those people on the stage at the DNC convention were simply preaching to the choir, there and at home. Let us hope not. Because Hillary Clinton is right: This is a moment of reckoning. Donald Trump is a dangerous person, and it would be a disaster, for this country and for the world, if he were elected. That any of us are even worrying about that, and that Donald Trump has the support he has, is a sign of a problem that’s much deeper, and much more serious, than the flaws of this single candidate. We are a deeply divided nation. But for the country to succeed, and for the experiment of American democracy to succeed, it will take all of us, not just a bare majority of voters. We have become a multi-cultural country. That is fact. Many Americans were not happy with what they saw at the Democratic Convention. Many of them wish we could be what they imagine we were decades ago. No political candidate or president can force them to change their mind. We need a president who can educate us – educate all of us – help us begin to heal, help bring us together. Barack Obama hasn’t been able to do that. I don’t see how Clinton will be able to, either, given her abysmally low “trust” ratings.
For the country to succeed, for American democracy to succeed, it will take all of us, not just a bare majority of voters.”
Still, bringing us together will be a longterm effort; the country has a multitude of immediate challenges, domestic and foreign. Hillary Clinton is clearly qualified to be president. And she is the sole sensible alternative to Donald Trump: the “sane, competent” alternative, as Michael Bloomberg put it last Wednesday night. It will take more than getting Clinton to the White House, though. She has to get things done. That means that she’ll have to have a cooperative Congress. Journalists on last Thursday’s Diane Rehm show suggested that there’s a lot of support among Americans for ticket splitting – that people may be so appalled by Trump that they’ll vote for Clinton but because they don’t like her, they’ll vote for a Republican for Senate to keep her in check. And the Republicans in Congress may be satisfied with that; too many of them have accepted the Trump take-over for us to think otherwise. They despise Clinton, but if they keep control of Congress, they can insure that she doesn’t accomplish much. They can ride out the next four years and run a better candidate against her in 2020. If that’s the case, we’re facing a threat to the country’s future that is second only to that of a Trump presidency.

Adams out at Strong museum
G. Rollie Adams, president and CEO of Strong museum, will retire at the end of the year. He has led the institution for about 30 years. He will be replaced by Steven Dubnik, a member of The Strong’s Board of Trustees since 2000, and board chair since 2014.
Charges dismissed for some protestors
Around 20 of the people arrested and charged during a Black Lives Matter rally last month had their charges dismissed. In some cases the charges were dropped. In others, the charges will be dismissed if the defendant has no further arrests over the next six months. More than 70 people were arrested as a result of the rally.

Great Lakes contain flame retardants An international commission says that the governments of Canada and the US can do more to keep toxic flame retardants out of the Great Lakes. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers have been found in significant levels in all of the Great Lakes. Lake Erie has the highest levels, with Lake Ontario coming in second, according to the International Joint Commission, a US-Canada organization that keeps tabs on water bodies shared between the two countries. The chemicals are linked to various health problems in humans and wildlife. New York prohibits the sale of certain products with specific toxic flame retardants.

The IJC is drafting recommendations to help reduce the concentration of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the Great Lakes. The commission’s proposals will be forwarded to the governments of the US and Canada to encourage consideration of new laws. Producer responsibility programs could be one of the best approaches, the commission says. The governments of Canada and the US would require manufacturers to create or fund programs that take back anything the manufacturers make containing PBDE’s. The companies would then have to make sure that those items are properly disposed of or recycled.
The producer responsibility approach has worked well in Europe to address flame retardants and electronics, says Chuck Ruffing, director of the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute, which is housed on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus. And New York has producer responsibility programs for recyclable batteries and consumer electronics. “I think they’ve got some record of making an improvement,” Ruffing says. “It depends on how they’re structured, obviously. But the framework in general, I think, is one that can contribute to diminishing the further input of these things into the lakes.”

County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo came to the union during her election campaign last year, and promised that her administration would negotiate in good faith. The union endorsed her as a result, but it hasn’t heard from her since. JIM MASCHO, MONROE COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF’S ASSOCIATION
LABOR | BY JEREMY MOULE
County contract chaos grows Monroe County has lost 47 jail deputies to retirements and resignations in recent years. The shortage often forces remaining deputies to work overtime, including double shifts, and to sometimes work more than a week straight without a day off. Behind the exodus is the deputies’ contract; they’re working under the terms of an agreement that expired at the end of 2012, and there’s no new contract in sight. The deputies’ jobs are physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding: they are spat on, cursed at, punched. But many experienced jail deputies haven’t received a pay raise in years, due to the way that the old contract was structured. The union leaders and members want serious negotiations with county administration officials, but that’s not happening, says Jim Mascho, executive vice president of the Monroe County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, the union for jail deputies. Instead, every time the county offers a proposal and the 484-member union comes back with a counteroffer including concessions, the county then makes an offer that was worse than its previous one, he says. “Their view is always to take,” Mascho says. “It’s always been that way.”
And union officials say that the administration isn’t treating the workers with respect. County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo came to the union during her election campaign last year, and promised that her administration would negotiate in good faith, Mascho says. The union endorsed her as a result, he says, but it hasn’t heard from her since. The union also alleges that Brayton Connard, the county’s human resources director, told some of its officials that if it were up to him, the jail deputies would make minimum wage. County spokesperson William Napier says that Connard never said that. Napier declined further comment, but noted that the county and union are set to meet on August 11. “The county has always bargained in good faith,” Napier says. The Taylor Law, a state statute that governs public employee union contracts and prevents government workers from striking, requires confidentiality, he says. And the county has a longstanding position to not discuss the status of ongoing labor negotiations, he says. The jail deputies are afraid that they might get stuck with a deal like the one imposed by a state-appointed arbitrator on the road patrol deputies, Mascho says.
In rough terms, many of those deputies will have to work an additional seven years or more before they can retire with full medical benefits. Around 30 road patrol deputies recently retired or transferred out, in large part because of the new contract, Mascho says. And jail workers of retirement age, who might have otherwise stuck around for a few more years, are leaving before they find themselves in the same situation, he says. The jail deputies’ contract is part of a bigger picture. Only two of the county’s eight unions have active contracts, and that’s counting the contract imposed on the road patrol. The other union, the Federation of Social Workers, worked under an expired contract for eight years until members approved a new contract recently. The Airport Firefighters Union IAFF Local 1636 has been without a new contract since the end of 2012. And CSEA, the county’s largest union at 1,719 members, has been without a new contract since the end of 2013. The union filed a declaration of impasse with a state labor board in May, a move that triggers arbitration, says CSEA spokesperson Ove Overmyer.

County administrators’ strategy seems to be to deny or delay the settlement of collective bargaining agreements as long as possible, Overmyer says. Employee morale has sunk across county departments, and it has become difficult to retain experienced employees and to recruit talented new ones, he says. County unions, backed by other local labor organizations, will hold a rally at 5 p.m. on August 9 in front of the County Office Building, 39 West Main Street, to call attention to the expired contracts. It will be held before the County Legislature meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. “The workers are ready to explode,” Overmyer says.

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Negative focus on College Town isn’t fair, some tenants say Some tenants worry that obsession on recent closings will hurt the whole development Dan Hurley, president of Upper Mt. Hope Neighbors, sent a letter out to members of his group shortly after the Corner Bakery Café in College Town closed in March. He was peeved. After Saxbys Coffee in College Town closed two months later, however, Hurley’s tone graduated to just short of livid over College Town as a whole. “I’m now seeing this as a project that needs to be re-evaluated to see how the public, the neighborhood, and the students who live close by benefit when their choices now become that much more limited by a developer seemingly unwilling to check the pulse, letting this boat get evermore closer to the falls,” Hurley wrote in the Saxbys letter to his neighborhood group. “Based on recent circumstances, I’d be shocked to find a tenant willing to sign a lease when they have so many other choices in our area. How is it the developer can’t seem to grasp this?” Hurley’s not alone in his concern. Three College Town businesses have closed this year; Constantino’s Market kicked off the unhappy trifecta when it shut down in February. The natural question: is this project, which was propelled by promises of physical and economic transformation and delivered with a significant infusion of public money, in trouble? No way, says the University of Rochester, which owns the 14 acres that College Town is built on and rents a significant amount of space in the development. Attrition is a natural part of all large developments, says Colleen McCarthy, director of local government and community relations for UR. “College Town is successful and will continue to be shaped by the addition of new tenants,” she says. “Current tenant occupancy rate is 79 percent and new businesses and services are on the horizon.” Cass McCrory, director of marketing and events for College Town, says that every new development has a learning curve and that the developers are finetuning the formula for College Town. Rochester Running, Texas de Brazil steakhouse, Bar 145, and a dry cleaning and laundry opened in College Town within the last year, and a CVS is scheduled to open this fall, McCarthy says. A Barnes & Noble Café is planned for the former Saxbys space adjacent to the Barnes & Noble store, which serves as the UR’s campus bookstore. And the loft apartments in College Town have a waiting list, McCarthy says. 6 CITY
AUGUST 3-9, 2016
College Town tenants that CITY spoke to say that the media is focusing only on the negative and that risks attaching a permanent stench to the overall development which can make failure a selffulfilling prophecy; the idea that “something terrible is happening over there.”
Constantino’s may have been a misfire from the beginning. Hurley and many others say that it was overpriced, especially for college students. The store also lacked visibility. “A store like that needs to be up front,” Hurley says. “It needs to be right on Mount Hope Avenue.” Hurley pins the closings of Saxbys and the Corner Bakery on behind-the-scenes drama. Calls to the corporate headquarters of both stores were not returned. Hurley has a number of issues with Gilbane-Fairmount. The developer does not respond to issues at College Town quickly enough, and communication with the Mt. Hope neighborhood is lacking, he says. Hurley learned about the closings of Saxbys, Corner Bakery Café, and Constantino’s from the media — although the closings did seem to happen abruptly — despite regular meetings with the developer, he says. Marketing for the project hasn’t been aggressive enough, although it has improved recently with things like movie night on the roof, Hurley says. Perhaps most importantly, the development plan for College Town lacks cohesion, he says. A true “college town” would have clothing stores, home furnishing stores, and an affordable grocer such as Aldi, for example, he says. “You need staple foods, so they don’t go out to Henrietta,” Hurley says. “You do have a dry cleaner and running club. So they’ve got a couple cool things. But they don’t have all the things that I think would benefit a typical college town. Their business plan sucks; there’s no other way of stating it.” College Town’s McCrory says that Hurley’s suggestion of possible tenants is important feedback and that the best way
College Town on Mt. Hope has a 79 percent occupancy rate. Latest news: a Barnes and Noble Café will move into the former Saxbys space. FILE PHOTO
to get more tenants into College Town is to patronize the tenants that are there now. And McCarthy says that college students represent only a portion of College Town’s target consumer. College Town was developed as a mixed-use center for Mt. Hope area residents, staff and visitors to the University of Rochester Medical Center, UR faculty and staff, guests at the Hilton Garden Inn on the College Town site, and consumers from the broader Rochester area, she says. So, with that in mind, the development team aims for a varied mix of tenants, McCarthy says. Another issue: the rent. Local media have reported that some College Town tenants say that their rent is too high, and the tenants that CITY interviewed seem to agree. One tenant says that although business picked up significantly since she moved into College Town, it’s still a struggle because the rent is so high. Another says that he held off signing a lease until he was able to negotiate a lower rate. McCrory says that rents are negotiated at a rate for tenants to be viable. The UR’s McCarthy says that the university has no input into the rent structure.
The UR’s McCarthy says that College Town’s management team is responsive to
tenants and engaged with the project. And tenants that CITY spoke to say that the Gilbane-Fairmount team isn’t any better or worse than other landlords they’ve had in terms of how quickly their concerns are addressed. One tenant says that GilbaneFairmount printed and distributed price
sheets for him, which was a big help. McCrory says that project representatives regularly engage with the community and that they are always looking for opportunities to support the Upper Mt. Hope group and the Rochester community. “We’ve worked through issues collaboratively and streamlined lines of communication over the last few months to ensure prompt and swift attention,” she says. The UR works with the development’s management team to promote College Town’s tenants and events, McCarthy says. The UR takes alumni and visitors to College Town during big occasions at the university, such as commencement weekend and new student orientation, she says. UR students, faculty, and staff also have access to a free shuttle to College Town at specified times. But Hurley says that College Town’s backers still need to step up their game, especially given the amount of public money that went into the project. College Town received a $20 million federal loan from Housing and Urban Development, $4 million from the state economic development council, $13.5 million in tax incentives through the county Industrial Development Agency, and $17 million in public infrastructure improvements, among other assistance. “You’ve got to be aggressive with your management and really keep a tight watch or else [tenants] are going to pass you up,” he says. “They need to start really getting behind this. This whole thing was proved on public dollars.”

A GOOD DEATH Medical aid in dying is slowly gaining acceptance
HEALTH CARE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
S
usan Rahn has been in a brutal fight with stage 4 breast cancer since August 2013. It had already metastasized by the time she was diagnosed. Rahn first went to the doctor for what she thought was a kidney stone, since she was experiencing strange back pain. Doctors found a lesion on her rib and a tumor on her spine. Even though Rahn received a clean mammogram only months earlier, further investigation confirmed that she had breast cancer. It had evaded detection as it sometimes does with women who have dense breast tissue. The cancer is terminal, Rahn says. Rahn was only months into her second marriage when she was diagnosed. She is also a mother to Adam, 17, and stepmother to Max, 18, and Sammy, 15.
ILLUSTRATION BY JUSTYN IANNUCCI
Rahn has undergone radiation to the spine and rib. She’s had two surgeries and is on her fourth line of drug treatment. In the last few months, she’s lost about 35 pounds, she experiences nausea and difficulty eating, and she’s easily fatigued. And she’s worried about an upcoming meeting with her doctor concerning some possible new developments in her lymph nodes. “My biggest concern is when they do find something it’s going to be like an ‘Oh shit!’ moment,” Rahn says. “It’s very important to me, and my doctors are very aware of this, that I need to be here for my son.” Adam is the only child who lives with Rahn and her husband, Jeff. He will graduate from Bishop Kearney next year. “I need to be there for that,” Rahn says. Rahn is currently on a drug treatment she calls “chemolight” that works on a 21-day cycle, leaving her vulnerable to colds, fevers, and infections. “Eventually it [the cancer] figures out a way around whatever treatment you’re on and once that treatment fails, you go on to something else,” she says. “That’s what metastatic cancer is about. You go on to something else and the treatments get harsher and stronger.” But over time, the treatments for some patients can make them feel worse than the disease, which is why Rahn says that she supports earlier end-of-life intervention through palliative care and hospice. But more than that, she supports an
individual’s decision to seek medical aid or physician assistance in dying. She says that she should have the right to make that decision at the time of her choosing: something that she has blogged about on her site stickit2stage4.com. “Metastatic breast cancer has a median lifespan of 36 months,” she says. “August is 36 months for me.” Like many people, Rahn has witnessed others go through the dying process, including women she has known with breast cancer. “I have watched these women suffer, suffer, and suffer,” she says. She doesn’t want her family, particularly her son, Adam, whom she raised mostly on her own, to witness that, she says. She doesn’t want his last days with her marred by watching her struggle with pain while losing control of her bodily functions, she says. “How can I do that to him?” she says. Rahn is hardly alone in her fears or her strong views about much-needed improvements in end-of-life care. She says that she hopes that New York joins Oregon, Washington, Montana, Vermont, and California, and becomes the sixth state to allow physician assistance in dying. The practice is also legal in Canada. Palliative care and hospice, for many health care professionals
who specialize in end-of-life care, are just a partial view of a changing perspective on how we experience terminal illness.

University of Rochester’s Dr. Timothy Quill says that palliative and hospice care should be considered sooner for some patients. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
No one wants to die, but when we really have to, there must be a better way.” - DR. TIMOTHY QUILL Medical aid in dying, though still extremely controversial, is getting a more positive reception, particularly after Brittany Maynard’s quite public decision to end her life gained international attention. The 29-year-old woman with terminal brain cancer moved to Oregon in 2014 where she could legally receive the medication needed to end her life under that state’s Death with Dignity Act. Proponents say that palliative care and hospice, in many states, particularly in New York, are offered too late for patients, causing them to suffer needlessly. And they say that medical assistance in dying, though studies show that most patients don’t resort to it, should at least be an option for the few patients who want it. Advocates are working ardently in some states, including New York, both legislatively and through the court system to allow terminally ill patients to choose how and when they will die. The issue has legions of determined and thoughtful critics up in arms, however, and raises many difficult and challenging questions on both sides of the debate. For instance, is there a difference between medically- or physician-assisted death and suicide? What is a physician’s ethical responsibility to the dying? Is allowing someone to linger in agonizing pain or in a heavily sedated fog for days, and sometimes weeks and months, humane medical care? And what do doctors mean when they refer to a “good death” compared to a bad one, and why should we care? Dr. Timothy Quill has been trying to address those questions for years, and is an author and frequent speaker on end-of-life care. He begins his book “A Midwife through the Dying Process” with a line from T.S. Eliot’s poem, East Coker: In my beginning is my end. The poem has been described as Eliot’s search for the divine, and it aptly sets the tone for Quill’s passion to help people experience a peaceful death or what he calls a good death, something that he says is person-specific. Quill is a physician at the University of Rochester and colleagues often refer to him as a pioneer in palliative care. He
writes: “Death seems antithetical to modern medicine — no longer a natural and inevitable part of the life cycle, but a medical failure to be fought off, ignored, and minimized. The dark side of this desperate battle has patients spending their last days in the intensive care units of hospitals, tubes inserted into every body part, vainly trying to forestall the inevitable. No one wants to die, but when we really have to, there must be a better way.” Quill began his career in Rochester in the 1980’s as a medical director for hospice care. He is committed to expanding understanding of what the process of dying involves, and more importantly, what it means to patients who are experiencing it. Quill was at the center of a firestorm in the early 1990’s after he disclosed in the New England Journal of Medicine that he prescribed the medication for a patient to end her life. He had been treating a leukemia patient in her 40’s, identifying her only as “Diane.” “When I was trying to decide whether to do it with my patient Diane that I wrote about, I talked to many of my colleagues and I said, ‘Look, I’ve got this patient who is asking me to do this,’” Quill says. “‘Have you guys ever done this?’ And they said, ‘Yes, once or twice over the course of my career.’” Authorities at the time chose not to prosecute him. Still, Quill’s disclosure provoked a national discussion about something that many families, terminally ill patients, and their physicians faced. Quill says that society’s willingness to engage in meaningful conversation about end-of-life care has improved. “Americans are making progress in their ability to talk openly and experience the realities that come with death and dying,” he says. “We’re beyond the death panels talk and Sarah Palin stuff.” But we still have a long way to go, he says. Palliative care, hospice, and medical aid in dying are more or less three strands to the end-of-life braid. Quill describes them as stages in terms of level of care, beginning with palliative care, which essentially uses a team approach to address the needs of
the terminally ill, even though the patients may still be receiving aggressive treatment. New York lags woefully behind in its use of palliative care and hospice, critics say. “That people who are sick should know about palliative care is a no-brainer,” Quill says. “If they’re suffering a lot, the first question is, ‘Are they getting the best pain management, and do they know what their options are in terms of treatment?’ That is just good medicine, or it should be.” The most sophisticated procedure in palliative care is the family meeting, he says. “Families are very complicated,” Quill says. “You want to get a consensus, and that’s not always easy to do because families are imperfect.” But ultimately the decision belongs to the patient, and Quill stresses that one of the main reasons that palliative care is so important is that it often allows the medical team to work with patients while they still have decision-making capacity. Quill starts by talking to patients about the deaths they’ve witnessed and what they’re most fearful of, because these “bad deaths,” as he calls them, leave a lasting impression. “If I can get people to talk about those things and if I can shut up and listen, I can reassure them,” he says. “Some people will say something like, ‘I had a friend who was in such agony because the doctors were afraid of giving him too much pain medication.’ I’ll say, ‘I will give you as much pain medication as you need. That’s not going to be a deal-breaker at all.’ Or there are people who have seen someone suffering because they were confused and out of their mind, and they’ll say, ‘That’s more than I want to go through.’” Quill says that the set of established options that physicians discuss with patients often starts with pain relief. “If the problem is pain or shortness of breath, we can give them as much morphine or the equivalent as they need even if it makes them sleepy,” he says. The second option is whether or not patients want to reevaluate the life-support systems that they are on, Quill says. “If they are on a ventilator, they can stop,” he says. “If they are on dialysis, they can stop, and there may be others. If they stop these systems, they’ll die pretty quickly. We can let them know what those choices are and we assure them that we can keep them comfortable.” The first two options have fairly widespread social and political acceptance, Quill says. But the next three become progressively grayer from a legal standpoint, and more contentious, he says. Sedation is the next option and Quill says that patients can be sedated to the point where they are no longer conscious, if needed. People who fear suffering from severe forms of dementia often ask for this, he says. The fourth option is to stop eating and drinking. “It’s a little unusual and it doesn’t sit very well with some folks when you first bring it up, but for some people who don’t have any good options, it does provide an escape from extreme suffering.” The fifth and most controversial option is not legal in New York State. In this instance, the physician provides medication that people can take immediately or at a time of their choosing to end their life. But critics of medical or physician assistance in dying say that
the practice is morally and ethically wrong on multiple fronts. They say that when physicians help patients die, they are flagrantly ignoring the most basic principle in medicine: “Do no harm.” And they say that advocates purposely avoid using the phrase “physician-assisted suicide” to shift the public’s attention away from what’s really happening. continues on page 26 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Label 7's menu has a selection dishes that will please both vegans and meat-eaters, like (left) the California Carrots; (middle) the San Francisco Hanger Steak; and (right) the Summer Squash Lasagna, which uses yellow and green zucchini in place of noodles. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
Finding vegan surprises Label Seven 50 STATE STREET, PITTSFORD MONDAY, 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M.; TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11 A.M. TO 10 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 11 P.M.; AND SUNDAY, 11 A.M. TO 3 P.M. 267-7500, LABELSEVEN.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting going into Label 7. I had heard different perspectives on the food over the years, but I hadn’t been in to try it myself. Right off the bat, I was happy to see that one of the beer taps was reserved for Lock 32 Brewing, a Pittsford brewery located in the adjacent Schoen Place plaza. The seasonal Goldie-Lock Summer Ale was on at the time, and the bright and refreshing brew had a notable lemon profile and a light ABV at 4.9 percent — it’s the kind of beer you want to crush on a steamy day. A bunch of the dishes had nominally California-based names, but there were no other noticeable ties to the Golden State. Still,
among them was one of my favorite dishes of my visits, the California Carrots ($13); I have no idea how it ties into California, but it was impressive nonetheless. Roasted carrots sat atop a house-made tahini sauce accented with crunchy chickpeas and Moroccan seasoning, and the rounded acidity from the grilled lemon brought the root vegetable to life. The vegan Summer Squash Lasagna ($17) gave me a similar warm feeling about vegetable-forward dishes. The lightly roasted yellow and green zucchini were used as the noodles and the cooked down marinara was balanced nicely with mushrooms and pine nuts substituting for Parmesan. It was a dish that was comforting while not hiding what it actually was. The concept and execution of these two plates show what vegan dishes deserve to be in mid-range restaurants. Of course there is plenty of meat to go around as well. The nicely cooked San Francisco Hanger Steak ($18) was marinated in hoisin and brought to the table with the now-standard truffle fries. I can’t understand the fascination with that truffle oil concoction; unless the oil is overly expensive,
the flavor and aroma is really from an extracted chemical that is one of several major components from the actual ingredient. It is the pancake syrup to the real maple syrup of the mushroom world. The grilled wings ($13) were a good effort to show what you can really do with this part of the bird. I appreciated that the wings were served as whole sections (both the wingette and drumette) and the skin was nicely crisp although the meat was on the dry side. The dry rub could have been stronger, but the combination of the Scotch Bonnet hot sauce — which reminded me of a brighter version of Sriracha — and the slightly funky, tangy bleu cheese definitely helped. If you’re looking to fill up, the Escondido enchilada ($17) was chock full of pork and the accenting bright salsas (verde, roja, and pico de gallo) and melted cheeses kept it interesting, despite being a little heavy. Since the pork was labeled as al pastor, I would have liked to have seen more of the traditional chile, spices, and bright-red achiote-stained characteristics, but at least the meat was properly roasted instead of just being stewed.
I’d like to finish off with a quick comment about the labeling of “local” when it comes to a menu or to an establishment. Label 7 uses the term “Keep It Local” on its “Local Purveyors” section of its website, and indeed some of the dishes do feature products from local vendors like First Light Creamery and Flour City Bakery along with some farms not directly mentioned on the menu. What this doesn’t mean is that the other ingredients are kept seasonal or local, especially since the menu is mostly static through the year. I’m not saying this as an indictment of Label 7, but it is something we should all be aware of when we see out of season ingredients featured on a menu in the heart of the Upstate New York growing season. Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you see someone advertising “Local” and see what that actually means.

seriously, but don't overthink the band’s gruesome lowbrow personas, backstory, and crooked show. Not a lot is known about the masked members of the Creepsylvania band except that their names are Cremator, Digestor, Dissector, and Fermentor — although, in reality, people have linked the musicians to metal bands Impaled, Exhumed, and Dystopia.

He’s the drummer at the Jazz Festival’s jam sessions and the first-call drummer when stars come to town. He’s played with Benny Golson, James Moody, Barry Harris, Chris Potter, Eric Alexander, and many more. Celebrating a superb new album, he’ll be joined at the Pythodd by two of Upstate New York’s top pianists: Bill Dobbins (August 6) and Dino Losito (Saturday, August 20). Both nights, the excellent Dan Vitale will be on bass. — BY RON NETSKY
It’s been 11 years since saxophonist Vince Ercolamento released “Delightful Eyes,” his excellent first album as a leader. With his new release, “Inner Soul,” Ercolamento firmly establishes himself as not only a fantastic saxophone player, but also a top composer of funky fusion. I don’t know if it’s all those years of playing with Prime Time Funk, but Ercolamento has written some of the catchiest, most soulful jazz I’ve heard in years, not to mention gorgeous mid-tempo ballads like the title track. Of course you can’t pull off funk-fests like “Walkin’ Bayou” or “Something’s Strange” without top notch supporting players like Joe Chiappone, who hits all the right chords and takes several knock-out solos of his own on guitar. Peter Chwazik and Paul Mastriani expertly set the groove on bass and drums throughout. (Chwazik also plays guitar on two tracks and takes a great bass solo on “Inner Soul.”) But it’s Ercolamento who pulls off magnificent solo after solo on sax and flute. And it’s his compositions — infectious from start to finish — that carry the day. — BY RON NETSKY

The Rita Collective “Forty-One Seconds” Allora Records ritacollective.com
[ JAZZ ]
The Rita Collective creates music that is impossible to classify. Start with the instrumentation: group leader Dean Keller plays bass clarinet; Kristen Shiner McGuire, marimba; Kyle Vock, bass; and Matt BevanPerkins, percussion. On their debut album, they’re joined on one cut by Mark Collins on flugelhorn. The group’s name is derived from a tune by a Tunisian oud player, so you can make a case for world music. Though the music certainly has a jazz sensibility, the pieces are arranged in the manner of a chamber group. And, not to be left out, there’s a funk vibe that surfaces here and there. Tracks like “Dance With Waves,” by the aforementioned oud player, Anouar Brahem, have an unmistakable Middle Eastern flavor, but the track is followed by a funky vamp. Whatever this music is, all of the group’s players are adept enough to move through the changes of style, creating a timeless, universal synthesis. The album’s cryptic title, “Forty-One Seconds,” reflects the perfect amount of time Keller used to warm up his daughter’s milk. It’s an apt metaphor for the just-right mix of jazz, classical, world music, and funk on this CD. — BY RON NETSKY

I’ve written poetry my whole life and came to realize that blues 1-4-5 is nothing more than sonnets set to music. I wrote everything originally on the bass, then I took it to the band and they would take it apart, put it back together, and make it something that appealed to all of us.

Sweet significance Significant Other FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 BLU WOLF BISTRO, 657 PARK AVENUE 6 P.M. | FREE | BLUWOLFBISTRO.COM SIGNIFICANTOTHERROCKS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
It’s readily apparent from the minute you slide Significant Other’s CD, “House Of Cards,” into the player that this is a significantly tight outfit. The band’s slick layering and cooperation leaves its beloved bluesy influences augmented to the point of being more than just the bar band its members claim it to be. This sweet seven-piece swings mightily with a mighty pedigree. Violinist Perrin Yang (also the fourth seat violinist with the RPO), guitarist Brother Wilson (who has played with Sly Stone, Chaka Khan, and Teddy Pendergrass), singer Jennifer Snyder, keyboardist Stephen Siegel, drummer Joe Lana, saxophonist Zac Walker, and bassist and founder Glenn William all create a unified strain that is smooth with just the right amount of edge. This is centermost in Snyder’s gutsy singing style. She brings the soul with a voice that wails with just a hint of raggedy blue at the top end. But what really gives Significant Other its significantly other status is Yang’s
violin, played more like a slide guitar than a bowed instrument. The band tackles covers as well, with the original versions a mere suggestion as to what might come out the other side. SO’s versions of The Band’s “The Weight” or Van Morrison’s “Domino” have precious little to do with the originals except for the lyrics left to clue the listener in. William and Yang stopped by to clue City in and discuss it all. Here’s what went down. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. City: How and when did the band get its start? Perrin Yang: It’s Glenn’s brainchild. Glenn William: Well, I began playing bass about
four and a half years ago when I met Brother Wilson. And then Jennifer joined the band. Then Perrin came on. My background, my interest, has always been blues, kind of founded in The Allman Brothers — not Southern rock, but blues rock with some history behind it, with some of the people that wrote music in Mississippi and Alabama in the 1920’s and 30’s. We basically started out doing covers of blues artists until we could introduce some originals. Made by the whole band? William: I come to the band with lyrics and
melody, and we play with it a while. Brother Wilson is kind of our musical director and
Stephane Grappelli. I’m sort of new to this, so I’m not up to their skill level. William: We had two guitar players, one left, and Perrin had a string quartet that had been playing for me at Midtown for years for happy hour. I approached Perrin and said, “Can you play a violin like a slide guitar?” And he said, “I’m not sure.” So I gave him a CD of “Statesboro Blues.” He came to rehearsal a few weeks later and we, had to stop because we were laughing so hard at how much it sounded like slide guitar. Yang: We have whole gig book full of rock, pop, opera, dance music … all sorts of stuff. I’ve always enjoyed different types of music. I had been playing in another band, Right Turn Racer and that was pop and rock, so I had been getting my feet wet. Moving from classical to pop, did you need to dumb it down? Yang: I had to totally unlearn how to read
the dots. It’s not dumbing down; it’s just a completely different skill set. There’s more freedom.
Do you prefer the studio or performing live? Yang: We definitely feed off a crowd’s energy. Do you ever butt heads during the process? William: A lot. We butt heads, but
with respect.
So there’s no name-calling. Yang: No. William: Yes, there is, but it’s not personal. We
all just have emotions and opinions ensuring that every song comes out sounding better than when it came in.

SYMPHONIC ROCK | JERRY GARCIA SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION WITH WARREN HAYNES
The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration is like a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. This concert is going to blend the seemingly incompatible: the tie-dyed music of the Jerry Garcia Band and the Grateful Dead with a 40-piece orchestra. Grammy-winning singer and guitarist Warren Haynes (pictured) is the maestro of the outfit bringing this excellent fusion to life during Garcia’s birthday week. Joining Haynes and the Symphonic Celebration band is singer Jaclyn LaBranch, whose gospel- and soul-inspired vocals helped define the Jerry Garcia Band’s signature sound.

ROOTS ROCK | MISS TESS AND THOMAS BRYAN EATON
Miss Tess and Thomas Bryan Eaton have a long history together. Eaton has been a steady member and co-producer of Tess’s band, The Talkbacks, and Tess is always on call when Eaton needs some backup on his solo work or with his own group, Hobson’s Choice. The two have a wonderful musical chemistry that shines bright in in the American roots rock ‘n’ roll they create together — which is stripped to the basics on the duo’s current, intimate US tour. Miss Tess and Thomas Bryan Eaton will perform Thursday, August 4, at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 8:30 p.m. $10. lovincup.com; misstessmusic.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP [ BLUES ]

With “Sight Reading,” the current exhibit in George Eastman Museum’s Project Gallery, curator in charge Lisa Hostetler reminds museum-goers of the importance of the institution’s vast and educational photographic artifacts. There are few flashy, attention-snatching pieces in the show, so a studied patience is required, but viewers are rewarded for their discipline with a more complete understanding of how photography has aided and shaped the way we perceive our world. The show exhibits examples of the ever-expanding variety of uses of the medium, from documentation, to capturing that which escapes our limited senses, to moving the public’s ethos with the pathos of a picture. William Henry Fox Talbot’s 1843 print from a calotype negative, “Articles of China,” demonstrates the ease of recording a collector’s inventory, the photograph a more accurate testimony than written description. The image was originally published in “The Pencil of Nature” in 1845, which was the first photographically illustrated publication — its name is a poetic version of the 18 CITY AUGUST 3 - 9, 2016
phenomenon of writing with light. Similarly, Francis Frith’s 1857 “The Temple of Kom-Umbco, New View,” is another example of the medium used to record a wealth of information — here, the ancient and delicate hieroglyphic inscriptions on a sun-bathed wall. Previous methods of documenting the glyphs would have required making a potentially damaging rubbing of the delicate inscriptions, or making a potentially inaccurate drawing of the whole scene. By shooting the wall as it was raked by high sunlight, the contrast sharpens the glyphs, and the image gives the viewer a sense of environment as well. A contemporary of Eadweard Muybridge, who is famous for settling debates about how physical bodies move through space, Etienne-Jules Marey’s 1890 albumen silver print “Chronophotographic study of man pole vaulting” is a frame-by-frame study similar to Muybridge’s iconic stills of a horse in full gallop. Nearby, Muybridge’s 1885 gelatin silver prints “Woman descending an incline with buckets of water” and “Woman pouring a bucket of water over another woman” read like classical sculptures coming to life while they dissect the specific shifts in musculature and the chaotic reaction of the water that results. These subtle prints contain scientific study, the wonder of poised elegance, and mesmerizing beauty all at once. In 1936, electrical engineer Harold Edgerton echoed Muybridges’s interest and understanding to create the gelatin silver print “Gun Toss.” Edgerton used a rapidly pulsing light of a stroboscope “to record states of matter too fleeting to be perceived by the naked eye,” the caption reads. The image of a hand spinning a pistol, its circuit recorded in enough stages to form a
THIS WEEK in the PUBLIC MARKET DISTRICT mandala of the weapon, seems to predict a later era’s graphic arts aesthetic in balance and high contrast. I could easily see this engaging, frozen-motion work posted around town as a show poster for a band headlining at Abilene. Several images reveal how the development of some photographic techniques were born of the needs of different curiosities and industries. NASA and The School of Aerial Photography have required ever-refined techniques for special circumstances — such as photographing large celestial bodies, one small portion at a time as the spacecraft orbited, with specialized equipment that could develop the images in the conditions of outer space, and send them back to the earth to be composited and studied. Other images tell the story of the armed forces being trained as photographers and scientists during World War I, functioning as reconnaissance operatives about the lands far below the patrolling planes. Though the technology has vastly improved since these first grainy images were made, these photographic artifacts serve to illustrate our first steps into developing these sharp, extensions of our natural eyes. When we compare the difference between the not-so-distant then and today, these images daunt, alluding to the inherent power of these fields’ futures. A few images illustrate photography’s role in providing highly accurate dimensional measurements — a 1940’s work by the PhotoMetric Corporation documents “PhotoMetric tailoring,” showing a man undergoing a body scan to be fitted for a suit. But though this technology was developed slightly before mid-century, it hasn’t replaced the tape measure and pencil. In Frank Gilbreth’s 1913-17 project, “Inefficient Work Operation and Efficient Work Operation,” photography is employed to study and correct physical motion that contributes to worker fatigue — this would be of special interest to employers whose industries required entire shifts of repetitive motion. Using long exposures, Gilbreth recorded workers’ movements while they wore lighted rings, which created visible traceries of their paths. The resulting images, one a tangle of unnecessary movements, the next far more minimal, reminded me of the recent trend of writing “graffiti” in the air with light. Many works in the exhibit showcase how photography has been engaged in artful storytelling. At first glance, I took Nina Katchadourian’s 2012 chromeographic development print, “Indian History for Young Folks, from Once Upon a Time in Delaware/ In Quest of the Perfect Book,” for a shadowbox encasing three actual vintage book covers. The crisp photograph is a composition of three juxtaposed book covers that together form a subtle nod to shifts in ownership, from native domains to “your national parks.”

THEATER | “THE ENDANGERED FEATURES”
FESTIVAL | PUERTO RICAN FEST
In a city known for its film preservation, “Endangered Features,” a one-man play appearing at MuCCC, seems a perfect fit. The play is a coming-of-age story about a young man whose love for film turns him into an accidental archivist. After falling in love with escapist cinema as a young child, the young man goes on to grow up working in a neighborhood movie theater, preserving cinema at one of the world’s top film archives, and traveling to India to teach a new generation of preservationists in the craft. A play about the evolution of film from its analog days to modern cutting-edge digital, “Endangered Features” is both written and performed by Spencer Christiano (directed by Enobong S. Okung), and aims to “commemorate what we have lost” and the power of film to preserve and celebrate our past.
The Rochester Puerto Rican Festival, now in its 47th edition, this year celebrates the theme of cultural evolution. The three-day event will host live music, food, cultural events, guests, and more, all related to the celebration of Puerto Rican culture and heritage. Bachata Heightz, George Lamond, Ismael Miranda, La Banda Gorda, Charlie Aponte, and J Alvarez are among the musicians who will perform. Open for lunch daily, the Puerto Rican festival typically draws around 7,000 attendees of all different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and will feature a variety of events to allow the community to join in celebrating a rich cultural heritage.
“Endangered Features” will be performed at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Avenue), Thursday, August 4, through Saturday, August 6, at 8 p.m. There will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, August 6. Tickets are $12 at the door, $10 in advance, and $8 under the age of 30. muccc.org. — BY MARY WALRATH

ART | PAT PAULY Pat Rauly, who started her art career in quilting, creates her works with bits, fragments, and pieces, and figuring out how they work together, slowly builds a complete design. This is the theme of her coming exhibition at Nu Movement studio, which features pieces of her internationally recognized fiber art. A curator, former exhibition designer, and lecturer, Pauly has appeared in several publications, and her work has been seen in several international settings. Using the technique of reassembly, Pauly treats fabric with several different techniques to create “harmony or discord” in her complex works. Works by Pat Rauly will be on display at Nu Movement (716 University Avenue) beginning on Friday, August 5. An artist reception will be held the same day from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Gallery hours after First Friday are by appointment only or by attending a Nu Movement class.

No laughing matter “Tickled”
promoting the sport of “Competitive Endurance Tickling,” it sounds like just the sort of quirky (R), DIRECTED BY DAVID FARRIER human-interest story that would be right up his AND DYLAN REEVE alley. After a bit of research, he sends an inquiry OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, AT THE LITTLE to Jane O’Brien Media, the company who owns THEATRE the tickling site (as well as a plethora of other similarly themed pages). The response he receives [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW is unexpected to say the least. Farrier soon gets an email from a woman named Debbie, who claims to be a representative In the wildly entertaining documentary of Jane O’Brien Media. The email doesn’t just “Tickled,” what begins as a light-hearted look refuse to participate in any interview, it also into a ridiculous pastime slowly transforms into something strange and altogether disturbing. New threatens legal action and insults his sexuality, saying that the company wishes to have no Zealand-based pop culture reporter David Farrier “association with a homosexual journalist,” going has made a career out of fluffy stories focusing on to call him “gay kiwi” and much worse. It on “the weird and bizarre side of life.” The film’s seems an odd response, especially considering introduction includes brief clips from past stories that the “sport” — with its amateurishly shot on subjects like eels, black metal, and Justin footage of buff young men rubbing, writhing, Bieber. So when he stumbles across a website and straddling one another — seems, well, pretty gay. Days go by, and Farrier continues to receive constant emails from Debbie and Jane herself, all laced with homophobic slurs, insults, and threats. But like any decent journalist, these threats serve only to pique Farrier’s Director David Farrier, tickle enthusiast Richard Ivey, and willing victim in a scene interest further.

to the bullying tactics, the reporter continues to pursue the subject. With co-director Dylan Reeve, Farrier decides this all might make for an interesting documentary, even when three more employees from Jane O’Brien Media are flown in from Los Angeles and threaten the filmmakers with lawsuits, vehement about shutting the story down. None admit to having ever actually met Jane, and they immediately bristle at the appearance of the filmmaker’s cameras. And things just get weirder from there. The rest of “Tickled” unfolds like a crimethriller. Farrier and Reeve travel to America in an attempt to uncover who exactly is behind the mysterious Jane O’Brien Media, and the duo discover a pattern of litigious and abusive behavior that includes identity theft, cyber bullying, fraud, and blackmail which appears to span decades. They find that Jane O’Brien has a pattern of reaching out to desperate young men from poor neighborhoods all across the country, roping them in with all-expenses-paid trips to Los Angeles, thousands of dollars in compensation, and various gifts in an effort to recruit the men into so-called “tickle cells.” The filmmakers manage to convince a few former participants to talk to them, and all tell similarly harrowing stories. If any ever decide to leave the business, or dare to ask that the videos in which they’ve appeared removed, things quickly turn nasty. In addition to harassing calls and letters sent to their families, many of the men (in some cases just boys) find that their videos — along with their personal information — have been posted

all across the internet, causing them humiliation at school, costing them jobs, and in one case even leading to a visit from the secret service. With seemingly limitless resources, the mysterious figure behind Jane O’Brien has built an empire on the backs of these young men, exploiting them, shaming them, and ruining their lives. At their heart, the tickling websites are selling viewers a milder form of bondage porn. Richard Ivey, founder of another line of tickling websites, admits as much when talking to Reeves and Farrier. Appearing healthy and well-adjusted, Ivey allows us to see a less insidious side of the business. Unlike Jane O’Brien, Ivey’s open about his fetish, and is more than happy to talk on camera about his predilections. It suggests that shame and repression about one’s sexuality can quickly curdle into something toxic and dangerous. The story inside “Tickled” is absolutely bonkers, and the film ranks alongside “Weiner” as the year’s best “I can’t believe what I’m seeing” documentary. But the film goes beyond simple entertainment and becomes an intriguing investigation into the privilege of being rich in America. Its ideas have a certain urgency in the age of Peter Thiel and Donald Trump, where experience suggests that as long as you’ve got enough money and a hunger for power and control, it’s easy to bend the rest of the world to your will. With a layer of anonymity, the internet provides the cover to get away with anything, to the extent that it becomes horrifyingly simple for an ambitious sadist to destroy lives simply for their pleasure.

A GOOD DEATH continues from page 9
They also say that the practice opens the door to unethical behavior that puts the elderly and the most vulnerable in society at risk from family members and caretakers who might want to end a person’s life before the patient’s medical care drains the family’s resources. And many people of faith, particularly Catholics, say that physician- assisted dying is against Church doctrine, which forbids suicide just as it does abortion. Rahn, who receives palliative care, says that she has no patience for people who pontificate and moralize about something that they don’t understand and haven’t experienced. “It’s not suicide,” she says. She doesn’t want to die, but she’s also a realist, she says. “I was born and raised Catholic,” Rahn says. “I raised my son Catholic. I don’t believe that my God would want me to have a painful, suffering death. For those who think it’s wrong, they don’t have to do it. My death won’t affect the person sitting next to me.” Some of the strongest resistance comes from people in the disabilities community, who say that they’ve been fighting for decades to be recognized as valuable participants in society. Physician assistance in dying could lead to a dystopian process of elimination of the least fit in society, designer babies, and
highly selective care for those living with physical or mental disabilities, they say. And even many medical professionals say that advocates of assistance in dying undermine hope and the potential for the patient to recover, or at the very least, live longer. “I’m glad to encourage anybody’s hope,” Quill says. “My view is you hope for a miracle, but at the same time that you hope for it, you get prepared in case you don’t get what you’re hoping for.” David Leven is an attorney and former resident of Rochester who now lives in New York City. He’s also a staunch advocate for medical assistance in dying. He says that the medical community waits too long to offer palliative care and hospice. Leven says that New York’s Palliative Care Information Act requires doctors, once they’ve made a terminal diagnosis, to provide the patient with information and counselling on palliative care and end-of-life options. But many doctors are reluctant to make the diagnosis even though in New York, patients must receive a prognosis of six months or less to live before they can receive hospice care, he says. Patients are too often shuffled into hospice a day or two, sometimes hours, before dying, when doctors should be helping patients and family members understand the benefits of palliative care and earlier hospice care, Leven says.

Make Your Memories
292 Lake View Park After over 80 years in the hands of one family, it’s your turn to make memories in this spacious American Foursquare at 292 Lake View Park. Inside, you’ll find a home where time stands still.
the original clawfoot tub and a leaded glass window that faces the sleeping porch.
“It’s as original as it can be in every single way,” said Mary Jo Karpenko of Nothnagle Realtors. Throughout the home, notice the intact, well-maintained hardwood floors and wood molding, a mix of chestnut and oak. The woodwork throughout is gloriously unpainted.
While making sure to preserve the historic beauty of the home, the previous owners added a few updates, building an addition to accommodate a half bath on the first floor and finishing the attic. With custom-built shelves and cabinets, the attic is ideal for an extra bedroom or as a space for a collector to store his or her treasures.
Check out the original wood wainscoting in the kitchen and the original cabinets in the pantry. A small section of that cabinetry in the pantry was removed when the ice box was replaced by the refrigerator. Although it’s no longer in use, the original ice box is still there. Walk through a set of still-working pocket doors from the living room into the dining room. Look up, and you’ll see the original chandelier, nestled among the coffered ceiling. And the lighting fixtures are original in the living room and foyer too. Soak up the sun in a built-in window seat, there’s one in the living room and the dining room. On the way upstairs, check out the original newel post and staircase as well as the stained glass window on the landing. One of the four bedrooms still has the original wallpaper and another opens out on to a sleeping porch. The full bath has
There’s a spacious basement with pleasantly high ceilings for a house of this age.
Lake View Park, located in the Maplewood neighborhood, was laid out as part of a master plan crafted by world-renowned landscape architect Frank Law Olmsted. Among Olmsted’s more famous projects is Central Park in New York City, and closer to home, Maplewood and Seneca Parks. The street boasts extra wide tree lawns, giving it a majestic, stately feeling and leaving room for mature trees, which provide ample shade. The Maplewood Neighborhood Association (www.maplewood. org) works actively to celebrate the area and promote a diverse and vibrant neighborhood. Built in 1913, the 2,345 square-foot 292 Lake View Park is listed for $64,900. For more information, contact Mary Jo Karpenko of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-389-4059. by Arn J.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Trompe l’Oeil Jungle
A conservation biologist at Australia’s University of New South Wales said in July that his team was headed to Botswana to paint eyeballs on cows’ rear ends. It’s a solution to the problem of farmers who are now forced to kill endangered lions to keep them away from their cows. However, the researchers hypothesize, since lions hunt by stealth and tend to pass up kills if the prey spots them, painting on eyeballs might trick the lions to choose other prey. (For the same reason, woodcutters in India wear masks painted with faces — backward — for protection against tigers.)
“Big Porn” Gives Back
(1) In June, the online mega-website Pornhub announced a program to help blind pornography consumers by adding 50 “described videos” to its catalog, with a narrator doing play-by-play of the setting, the actors, clothing (if any) and the action. Said a Pornhub vice president, “It’s our way of giving back.” (2) Later in June, another pornography website inaugurated a plan to donate a penny to women’s health or abuse prevention organizations every time a user reached a successful “ending” while viewing its videos (maximum two per person per day). Its first day’s haul was $39, or $13 for each of three charities (including the Mariska Hargitay-supported Joyful Heart Foundation).
Can’t Possibly Be True
A Government Program That Actually Works: A motorist in Regina, Saskatchewan, was issued a $175 traffic ticket
on June 8 after he pulled over to ask if he could assist a homeless beggar on the sidewalk. According to the police report cited by CTV News, the “beggar” was actually a cop on stakeout looking for drivers not wearing seat belts (who would thus pay the city $175). Driver Dane Rusk said he had unbuckled his belt to lean over in the seat to give the “beggar” $3 — and moments later, the cop’s partner stopped Rusk (thus earning Regina a total of $178!). One of America’s major concerns, according to a U.S. congressman, should be the risk that if an apocalyptic event occurs and we are forced to abandon Earth with only a few species to provide for humanity’s survival, NASA might unwisely populate the space “ark” with same-sex couples instead of procreative male-female pairs. This warning was conveyed during the U.S. House session on May 26 by Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (who seemed not to be aware that gay males might contribute sperm to lesbians for species-continuation).
What Goes Around, Comes Around
In May, the Times of India reported the death of a man known only as Urjaram, in Rajasthan, India, when, while hosting a party, he forgot that while he was enjoying himself, he had left his camel in the sun all day (during a historic heat wave) with its legs tied together. When Urjaram finally went outside, the enraged camel “lifted him by the neck,” “threw him to the ground” and “chewed on his body,” severing his head.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll make an interesting connection at work-related events or while attending a conference or lecture. The more interest you show in someone you are drawn to, the more attention you will get in return. Don’t be shy; share your dreams, hopes and wishes, and see what transpires. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put intimacy on hold. Concentrate on developing a good repertoire with someone, and see where that leads. It’s best not to offer anyone you meet too much until you are certain that you want to make a commitment. Get to know your love interests, friends and family before moving forward.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Say little and do a lot when it comes to affairs of the heart. It’s important to be upfront about your intentions by taking action and fulfilling any promises you make as you go along. Inconsistency will be detrimental to reeling in the object of your desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Visit unfamiliar places, travel to destinations that offer insight into foreign cultures and sign up for events that challenge your current belief and philosophy, and you will meet someone who sparks your interest. Put energy into the relationship you develop, and you’ll get something special in return.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need more love, adventure and challenges in your life. Participate in events and activities that test your skills and bring you in contact with people just as driven and in need of excitement as you. Look for the partner who will stand beside you, not behind you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let insecurity or a reluctance to show off what you have to offer stand between you and the love of your life. Stand tall and approach the person who grabs your attention with confidence. Project an image that portrays how special you really are. Believe in you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your peaceful quality and desire to help the underdog will capture the attention of someone who wants to take care of you. Wear your heart on your sleeve and let your vulnerability show, and you will attract a special, caring and protective partner who appreciates your honesty and compassion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be too quick to share your feelings. Someone is looking to take advantage of you. Stick to the people you know and trust, not someone showing interest but harboring ulterior motives. Protect against users and abusers. A false impression will be offered. Put an intellectual connection before physical intimacy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your proactive approach to love and romance will bring you more than you bargained for. Not everyone will reciprocate as openly and honestly as you. Step back and reconsider someone making promises that are unrealistic. A secret affair won’t bring you the happiness you are looking for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be 10 steps ahead of the person you are interested in. Take a breather, and let the person who makes your heart beat fast catch up. Patience is a quality that will be appreciated when it comes to intimacy. Make the most of the mo-
ment and the courtship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stop repeating the same pattern when it comes to love and romance. You need a change, not someone to fit in a slot that hasn’t worked for you in the past. Look for someone offering stability instead of someone willing to treat your relationship like an experiment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Possessiveness and jealousy won’t win hearts. If you can’t trust the person you are attracted to, you are probably with the wrong partner. Don’t live in a fairytale world when reality needs to be addressed and maturity implemented to build a strong and lasting relationship.
