DECODING WESTERN NEW YORK’S MONEY MAP IN THE LAST OBAMA ADMINSITRATION YEAR

That means that half of households in New York State have incomes over $61,000, and half under. This is overall a relatively prosperous state: The national median in 2016 was $55,322. That’s the last year for which we have reliable estimates—and those estimates are not about politics, but about the mechanics of collecting data. We won’t have data for 2018 until 2020, and we won’t really know precisely about the impact of the Trump administration’s actions until at least then. What we do know is from 2016 Census estimates and from 2015 IRS tax return data, and here’s the snapshot for Erie County: • Median household income here is just under $53,000, which is about $8,000 lower than the statewide median, about $2,000 lower than the national median, but slightly higher than Wyoming County, and about $8,000 more than households make in Allegany, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties. • There’s a very sharp divide between city and suburbs: All but three of Erie County’s towns have higher median incomes than the county overall, while only one out of 18 Zip Codes inside Buffalo have household incomes above that line. • Households in 15 of 25 towns in Erie

WE KNOW FROM looking at Internal Revenue Service data that about 425,000 tax returns are filed in Erie County every year, and that just under 75 percent of tax returns report incomes of $61,000 or less, which is about the median income of a household in New York State.

Put a different way: The data from the last available federal reports show that a quarter of Erie County’s households meet the marker for middle class or better in New York State, which means that they have incomes from work, from pensions, or from other sources (usually not capital gains; see below) that yield the equivalent of about $30 an hour for a 2,000hour work-year. Meanwhile, unfortunately, more than half of the households here don’t make even half that amount, which means that more than half the households here have incomes that are less than what full-time, yearround job paying $15 an hour would pay. All the income-support strategies of the Cuomo administration in Albany, especially Cuomo’s support for a statewide minimum wage of $15 an hour by 2020, plus the Democrats’ ongoing support for supplements to the federal Medicaid program so that lowwage workers have health insurance, plus the state supplements to the school-nutrition program, are motivated by that trying to hit that $30,000 figure for as many households as possible. That number, which the MIT Living Wage calculator and just-retired Buffalo State

The City of Buffalo and some towns like Cheektowaga and Evans continues to lose population, while a few towns, notably Amherst, continue to gain a tiny bit—but the overall trends of the Buffalo area are pretty consistent: the population of Erie County is down about 25,000 from 2000, there’s no in-migration except for a couple of thousand refugees a year for the past many years, and as household incomes rise, households migrate out from the urban core to the suburban periphery—especially to the Town of Amherst, which shares the region’s richest Zip Code with Clarence, the town with the highest median household income. That’s the Brigadoon we’re living in: We keep sprawling despite a shrinking population, we keep segregating ourselves by income, and at a very nice point in the recovery from the Wall Street disaster of 2008 and the subsequent Great Recession, voters in almost every single suburban Erie County election district outside the cities of Buffalo and Lackawanna voted for the Republican presidential candidate who has acted to disrupt the status quo on federal taxation, income-support, health insurance, transportation, nutrition, and other structures that shaped what we see as of 2016. The status quo in 2018 probably looks the same as in 2016. Despite a few dozen new dwellingunits high-income renters and condo-owners, and a “hot” real estate market in four of five of Buffalo’s 18 Zip Codes, the median household income almost certainly remains below $35,000 city-wide—with median household incomes above $40,000 in only five of 18 Zip Codes. The data on housing also do not support that “gentrification” and “displacement” are realities except to the extent that a few blocks in three of the more than 85 Census Tracts inside Buffalo have experienced rapid appreciation—but the data do continue to show that there continues to be outmigration to the suburbs (principally to Amherst and Cheektowaga) of workingclass African-Americans, Hispanics, and also of settled onetime refugees, continuing the pattern of suburbanization that has been occurring here since 1945. The map of money in 2016 looks like this: 70 percent of the households in Erie County are in suburban towns that have median household incomes that are above $53,000, and 30 percent of households in Erie County are in Buffalo, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, the City of Tonawanda, and in rural Collins and Concord, where the median household income is under $53,000. Poverty is concentrated in the urban core, and not even the robust, mostly celebrated but often-criticized presence of educated Millennials, former suburban emptynesters, and Creative Class types (including so-called Trustafarians, the spawn of the truly well-endowed who return to Buffalo between semesters) is changing the landscape. Will that landscape change? We won’t know for a while. What we do know is that in 2016, the suburbs voted Trump, for change, unlike the urban core, which (not very robustly) voted for Clinton and continuity. Continuity meant keeping with our pattern of sprawl without population growth, and with our New York State pattern of Upstate dependency on Downstate prosperity, which works really, really well for everybody in Western New York, despite Erie County’s overall lower median

COMMENTARY NEWS household income. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the median income is higher in the suburbs of New York City, in the Hudson Valley and on Long Island. There are more richer people Downstate than Upstate; they pay more in New York State taxes than we do; they have less government employment per capita than we do; and as a consequence (there are other factors, like Upstate’s far-flung road system), Upstate pays one-quarter of New York State taxes but gets one-third of New York State spending, while Downstate pays three-quarters of New York State taxes but gets only two-thirds of New York State spending. We’re poorer, and our richer fellow New Yorkers foot our bills. But voters here show little understanding of these contrasts, and voted for change in 2016. Perhaps it’s because of the geography of money here. Suburban voters generally live in communities where the median household income is much, much more like the New York State median income, and so they tend to vote as if they have the kind of money that Downstaters have—except that Downstaters voted for Clinton.

federal tax law that was radically changed in a way that disrupts the 75-year-old New York State relationship with the federal fisc. But we won’t have detailed, county-by-county data on its effect for another couple of years. We will soon know, as soon as next January, about Trump’s cuts: in Medicaid (most of which here goes doctors, hospitals, and nursing care for poor elderly and long-term disabled), in the Supplemental Nutritional Aid Program (otherwise known as Food Stamps), in the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), and in housing aid for low-income people. At that point, the suburbs of Buffalo, and not just Buffalo, may awaken to the fact that over half of our fellow citizens live in households that have far, far less than the $15 an hour wage that Andrew Cuomo wants to be the new minimum—and far, far less in the way of federal supports that keep the wolf from a lot of local doors. One wonders: did the comparatively well-off suburban voters understand that that’s what they were voting for? Or did they think that 2016 would last forever?

Upstaters didn’t. Upstaters voted for the administration that will give Upstate, and the United States, disruption, mainly in the form of federal budget cuts, massively increased federal debt, still-undecided changes in trade policy (Western New York’s economic connections to Canada will be the subject of a forthcoming column), and a new

LOOKING BACKWARD: BIG JOE’S TAVERN, CIRCA 1960 Big Joe’s, 770 Seneca Street, was a popular Hydraulics tavern in the 1950s and 1960s operated by Joe Dudzick, the former Canisius College basketball star and at-large councilperson. Judging from the John F. Kennedy for President memorabilia displayed on the wall, this photograph is likely from 1960 or thereafter. Polish sausage and beef on weck are on the menu, and then-standard 15-ounce and 11-ounce draft beers are advertised. Big Joe’s closed in 1966, and the three-story building where Joe tended bar for two decades was demolished by the City of Buffalo in 1981. The tavern was reborn in 1993 with the debut of playwright Tom Dudzick’s fictional Over the Tavern, based on his life growing up as a Polish Catholic kid over his father’s bar.

THIS WEEK’S UPS AND DOWNS BY THE PUBLIC STAFF

UPS: SUMMER. Shadows of leaves interspersed with sun. Beaches, boats, rivers, hidden ponds,

dark forests. Vegetable gardens, backyard pools, charcoal, little league baseball. Daylight, 4am robins, heavy rains, music outside, drinks on open sidewalk patios. Open windows, morning lawnmowers, nightcap cocktails, pick-up basketball. Smell of rain on a warm day. Happy good times summer, everyone. GARY ORFIELD, the researcher and author who spent time reviewing education in Buffalo

as a part of the federal office of civil rights complaints about admission standards in Buffalo’s criteria based schools, published a must-read study on education and the legacy of structural racism in Buffalo. Orfield’s

recommendations

the

Buffalo Board of Education were adhered to in only a piecemeal fashion. It’s time district and board go all in, as the African American attendance at City Honors School has dipped into the teens. Why students from private schools and residences outside the city are allowed equal footing with a public school student in a historically racially segregated neighborhood and seeking the same placement doesn’t square with the district and board’s call for greater equity in education.

KEARNS, who vowed to not follow the

law, if the state in fact passes legislation allowing undocumented drivers a path to safe operation of vehicles. As it currently stands, thousands of workers, mostly in the agricultural sectors, operate their vehicles to get to work at great risk and without insurance. Allowing these folks to get proper licenses is a matter of public safety, one that any elected official worth their salt should get behind. (Not for nothing, it’s also a source of revenue for the county and New York State.) It’s not the job of a county clerk to weigh in the federal immigration debate, let alone decide which laws he will chose to follow and which he will disregard. BUFFALO COMMON COUNCIL. Despite vocal, months-long, and varied calls from

Buffalonians to take a hard look at the police allocations in the city’s budget, which has ballooned to $135 million per year up from $109 million in 2013, the Common Council appears eager to accept the status quo, approving the mayor’s budget on Tuesday with an 8-1 vote. Meanwhile, funding to schools, community services, and arts programs for kids has mostly stagnated. If the city is willing to feed what is by far its largest slice of budget pie (almost 30 percent) to its police, citizens ought to wonder why their elected officials are so enamored with the BPD despite revelations about their lack of training, lack of performance evaluations, three civilian death investigations by the state attorney general in the past 16 months, a half-dozen officers making over $200,000 per year with overtime pay, an overarching investigation into the the department for unconstitutional and racially discriminatory policing, and a homicide clearance rate under 25 percent.

50 IDEAS HERE, 50 MORE AT DAILYPUBLIC.COM, AND MORE TO COME EACH WEEK OF THE LONG, BEAUTIFUL SUMMER AHEAD… TEN SUMMERS AGO, my partner and I bought a house in Allentown. It’s a lovely, quirky place, which needed a lot of cosmetic work, some of which we hoped to accomplish before moving in. Or, rather, I hoped to accomplish that work—my partner, done teaching for the year, was off to the family’s place in East Tennessee, and I was home alone, repairing walls and ceilings with plaster, painting, stripping floors.

I spent a lot of time on a stepladder, from which I would look through the open back porch, on to the back lawn, where a cherry tree’s blossoms had made way for fruit. From my stepladder, covered in paint and plaster, I watched the fruit ripen. Every once in a while, I’d step out into the yard for a breather and test the cherries. When they finally ripened, they were just slightly sweet, not too much flesh, very firm. Refreshing. One afternoon, first week of July, as a project I’d undertaken grew in scope and frustrations, I turned and looked out the back porch doors at the tree, heavy now with fruit, and thought to myself, What am I doing. Clearly I should be harvesting the tree’s cherries while they

were ripe, not stripping the dining room floor. I resolved to take off the next morning from work, put a ladder in the tree, and gather all I could. n su r u th

In the morning, I cleaned a five-gallon paint bucket, grabbed my 10-foot wooden stepladder, and headed out to the backyard. I was greeted by a murder scene: In the night, birds had descended on the tree and stripped it bare. The ravaged pits covered the ground, rolled under my bare feet. Consumed by inside work, attending a self-made schedule and ignoring nature’s, I’d missed by chance. The birds had not been so stupid. This is a cautionary tale. This is a gather-yerosebuds-while-ye-may story. We were cheated of a long spring this year, and summer started last week. Memorial Day is upon us now, and everything is about to quicken and stir, and then grow, and then send out blossoms and sweet fruit. Pick it while you can, folks, because it won’t last long. This year we’ve picked 100 things to do and places to go, roughly divided into 10 categories—50 here, 50 more online at dailypublic.com. You’ll also find in our centerfold a handy pull-out calendar guide to outdoor music and other good stuff throughout the season.

Hamlin Fireman’s Carnival: Hamlin, a town named for Lincoln’s first vice president, June 14-16. Ride all rides Thursday for $18.

Allen West Festival: Allen Street west of Elmwood Avenue, June 9-10. Sure, the Allentown Art Festival is the grandmother of all regional arts festivals—the empress dowager, if you will—but the real local action is at the concurrent Allen West Festival, sponsored by the Allentown Association, where you’ll find a far more relaxed vibe, local artists and artisans, and ample entertainment in the streets and in the bars.

Buffalo Book Fest: Western New York Book Arts Center, 468 Washington Street, July 7, 12-5pm. A day-long festival dedicated to arts of printmaking and bookmaking, with demonstrations and hands-on activities, as well as a artists market.

O CANADA! It’s so close. There are such lovely beaches countryside just over the border and, little further north, the great cultural capitals of Toronto and Ottawa. Plan a road trip, or several, by bike or by alternate means of transportation. Ride a bike to Port Colborne: Admittedly, it is a pain to cross the Peace Bridge on a bike right now: Due to construction, you have to load your bike in the back of a shuttle bus and be driven across. But once you’re there, you can access a bike trail that hugs close to the shore all the way to Port Colborne, passing by several public beaches on the way. Waverley Beach: The first of those beaches is Waverley, which is a humble stretch of sand attached to a little park whose canopy of trees offer abundant shade and picnic benches. It’s about 10-15 minutes from the Peace Bridge. Why wouldn’t you duck up there for a quick swim? Friendship Festival: Mather Park, Fort Erie, July 12-15. Of course you can visit Fort Erie, its beaches and riverside parks and restaurants, any time at all. But if you love a crowd, ink in the annual Friendship Festival, which has all the attractions of a county fair— concerts, rides, fireworks, vendors, food and drink, motorized entertainment spectacles— and a diplomatic theme: the bond between neighboring nations that haven’t fought a war (except perhaps in the arenas of culture and trade) since 1814. At least not yet. Luminato Festival: Toronto, various venues, June 6-24. A sprawling international arts festival in the sprawling international city just two hours to our north. In its 11th year and still growing; check out luminatofestival. com. Ottawa Busker Festival: Sparks Street, Ottawa, August 2-6. If you’ve never made a trip to Canada’s capital city, here’s a good reason: vendors, burlesque, musicians, fire shows—a five-day celebration of street performance in all its varieties.

5 X 10 Pride Toronto: June 22-24. We like Buffalo’s Pride Festival best, but it’d be foolish to pretend that Toronto’s isn’t a spectacle. It’s all month long, but the weekend of June 22 is the real show. Visit pridetoronto.com. Toronto Fringe Festival: July 4-15. Toronto’s a hop, skip, and a jump away, and the city’s Fringe Festival directly precedes Buffalo’s Infringement Festival. Why not hop in a car or a bus and do some comparison shopping? Hamilton Fringe: July 19-29. And after you’ve sampled Toronto’s Fringe, try out Hamilton’s. Hamilton and Buffalo have much in common, culturally and in their economic histories, which makes a visit all the more edifying. Visit hamiltonfringe. ca. Shaw Festival: You can check out current offerings on page 22 of this newspaper, but our choice would be to book tickets to all three shows in Stephen Fry’s trilogy Mythos, which presents 1,000 years of Greek mythology in three comic nights. Visit shawfest.com for details. Stratford Festival: Again, you’ll find all current offerings on page 22 of this newspaper. Our choice right now, because we love Stratford for Shakespeare above all: The Tempest and The Comedy of Errors, which open this week and run through October. And we’re intrigued by the the theatrical adaptation of Paradise Lost that opens August 1. Visit stratfordfestival.ca for details.

across the street from the Elm Street Bakery, where maybe you have a quick lunch, then a walk down East Aurora’s Main Street, then a cone at the caboose as a reward.

(different put-in points for each) and awards at the end. Both courses end at the boat ramp at Ohio and South streets. learn more and register at rigidized.com/regatta.php.

Great Lakes Station Ice Cream: 3 Commerce Parkway at Union Road, West Seneca. This is the other red caboose with ice cream—and, handily, it’s en route to the caboose in East Aurora if you’re heading out from Buffalo. So why not hit both in one day, compare and contrast?

Build a real boat: Did your regatta entry sink or fall apart? Were you jealous of that woman’s wooden Adirondack canoe as she paddled buy your waterlogged raft made of a ping-pong table and some leaking industrial food barrels? The folks at the Buffalo Maritime Center in Black Rock will teach you to build an actual wooden boat. Visit buffalomaritimecenter.org for course and workshop information, or to schedule a tour of the center’s ongoing boatbuilding and rehabilitation projects.

The Hatch: Erie Basin Marina. Canalside gets all the glory nowadays but Erie Basin Marina—and particularly the Hatch— is a terrific public waterfront amenity, too. A great place to get a milkshake and watch the gulls eat stray french fries. Jerk’s Soda Fountain & Ice Cream: 523 Main Street. This is really the only place in downtown Buffalo for milkshakes, cones, sundaes, and ice cream sodas. And it’s great. You can even get an egg cream. Antoinette’s Sweets: 5981 Transit Road, Depew. Another spot with homemade ice cream, Antoinette’s is justifiably famous for its candy confections. A cone is great, but you really want to get a milkshake or a sundae here. Sweet Jenny’s: 56 East Spring Street, Williamsville. Homemade ice cream, chocolates, and other confections. You’d be a fool to brave the traffic on Williamsville’s Main Street without making a stop at Sweet Jenny’s. Hibbard’s Custard: 105 Portage Road, Lewiston. It’s a lovely village for a stroll in the summertime, and there are concerts and other events at Artpark, and there’s Hibbard’s Custard, too, which is divine.

Paddle the Buffalo River and harbors: If a free-for-all festival regatta is too much for you, rent a canoe, kayak, or paddle board at Canalside any day of the summer. Explore the grain silos upstream, take in a view from the water of Times Beach Nature Preserve, Canalside, and the downtown skyline. The good folks at Buffalo Harbor Kayak (bfloharborkayak.com) will hook you up with everything you need. Learn to sail: If you’re standing at Canalside, take a look across the water toward the US Coast Guard Station and the old lighthouse. See that little marina? That’s Sail Buffalo (sailbuffalo.com), which offers sailing classes for all ages and levels of expertise, as well as boat rentals. The season begins this weekend. Walk Hunter’s Creek: Just off Route 78 in the Town of Wales is Hunters Creek Road, and off Hunters Creek Road is parking area from which a trail ascends sharply, then descends through a utilities right-of-way and some deep, beautiful woods to Hunters Creek, which pretty well exemplifies a Western New York stream: broad and flat and shallow in most parts, running along shale beds, occasionally deepening into swimming holes, with some faster sections. It’s a manageable trail, easy and legal to access. Tubing at Zoar Valley: You can bring your own or rent them at Gowanda’s Zoar Valley Canoe and Rafting Company (zoarvalleyrafting.com), which will also take you on guided runs down the Cattaraugus Creek’s seasonally roilsome whitewater. But drifting downstream along the lazier sections of the creek on a tube may be the best way to appreciate the beauty of Zoar valley.

10 SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM

GET IN (AND ON) THE WATER:

Any place you pass on the road that serves ice cream is worth hitting the brakes for, in our opinion—because in the summer one ought to eat ice cream every day. Here are some spots worth a dedicated trip:

We are blessed with water: two Great Lakes connected by the mighty Strait of Niagara, the Finger Lakes to the east, Chautauqua Lake to the south, and a rich network of streams and creeks and rivers and waterfalls running throughout.

Lake Effect Ice Cream: 1900 Hertel Avenue. The finest purveyors of artisans ice cream in Western New York have a shop on Hertel, where the storied bar Checkers used to be. Mr. Kone’s: 893 Jefferson Avenue. Roll up into the parking lot and take in the varied menu of soft-serve, hard ice cream, floats and sundaes, sandwiches, and more. There’s a fish fry, for god’s sake. Fran-Ceil Custard: 3411 South Park Avenue, Blasdell: Why are so many of the best ice cream places unassuming buildings in the middle parking lots? Get in line behind kids’ baseball teams, families, and parades of bikers. The parking lot scene alone is worth the visit. The Red Caboose: 79 Elm Street, East Aurora. There are two cabooses dispensing ice cream in Western New York. This one is

One World Water Lantern Festival: Buffalo Outer Harbor, May 26. It’s not free, and it’s not swimming (at least not legally), but the Buffalo edition of the One World Water Lantern Festival sounds cool: Your $40 ticket gets you into the event on the Outer Harbor, where there will be food trucks and music and other entertainments. You also get a water lantern, into which you insert a message—an ambition, a regret, a remembrance of a loved one—and which you will launch into Lake Erie along with thousands of others, beginning at 8:45pm. Learn more at waterlanternfestival.com. Rigidized Fiver Fest Regatta: River Fest Park, June 16, 10am-3:30pm. Get yourself—or build yourself—something that floats and join the fun on the water, or just watch from the banks of the Buffalo River. There are six- and three-mile courses

Visit a new beach every weekend: You need never swim the same beach twice if you live in Western New York. Within an hour’s drive of Buffalo on Lake Erie are Bennett Beach, Evangola State Park, Beaver Island State Park, Hamburg Town Park Beach, Woodlawn Beach, Gallagher Beach, Lake Erie Beach Park, Wendt Beach, Sunset Bay Beach, and Point Gratiot Park. Up north, on lake Ontario, there are Olcott Beach, Lakeside Park Beach, and Wilson-Tuscarora State Park. And then there’s the Canadian shore… Waterfalling at Letchworth State Park: What, did you think we were going to offer up secret waterfalling spots in the Southtowns, the ones that involve some light trespassing? No way—that would be irresponsible. And it’s unnecessary, because the Genesee River Gorge, whose cliffs rise over 500 feet in some places, has three impressive waterfalls you can visit by foot on the upper trail, as well as numerous pools on the paths into the gorge. The splash pad at Martin Luther King Jr. Park: It’s not a lake or a stream. But it’s immense, and it’s in the heart of a beautiful Olmsted park, and it’s free. When it’s up and running, the splash pad at Martin Luther King Jr. Park will warm your heart and cool your toes.

is movement. Or even: In the beginning was the movement. And the movement begat further movement and thus relationship. As each unimaginably tiny particle began to shimmy and gyrate, ripples influenced the experience of other particles: all other particles everywhere. Physics tells us that nothing is ever stagnant, no matter how deeply we would like to believe in confinement and isolation. Change is the natural state and it is forever relational. Standing still is still a dance. Perhaps there is no greater teacher than observation: no better way to train the innate senses than by observing the surrounding natural world. Surely, you’ve seen the green shoots that demand their way through concrete cracks. People are talking about our world

becoming ‘post-wild’ due to the overgrowth of humans and their subsequent environmental manipulation and massive waste production; but is post-wild even possible? Aren’t we a part of nature, too? Wilderness persists and communicates in its own terms. Our definitions (and squabbling thereof ) are likely far too puny to fathom the elemental power in nature’s resolve. If the intellect is to expand beyond definitional hang-ups, perhaps it should give way to the sensory input from the natural world. Learning how to interact collaboratively with the environment is essential for survival on this planet. Or rather, it is essential if we care to improve the quality of life while we are here. A wildly unique training opportunity focused on environmental collaboration and persistence will be offered at Silo City on June 22-24. The Urban Ecological Regeneration course, presented by the Lyceum at Silo City, is an opportunity to learn about ecological science and practical sustainability techniques with fellow experts and explorers. Nature is optimistic, but it requires alliance and support from its human manipulators. (We’re all part

The team of instructors comprises impassioned selfmotivators from the Western New York area who have the -ist titles; but more importantly, they have committed their lives to the study and play of ecology. The post-industrial setting on the privatelyowned land that comprises Silo City is more than a backdrop for the training. It is a fellow teacher on the scene. The land, which is located on the Buffalo River, presents its own history, prospects, and challenges in landscape negotiation. The UER training will lay a foundation for understanding city-centric environmental resilience and teach progressive, respectful methods of ecosystem interaction. Participants can expect to learn about: • Sustainability

through project logistics, and addressing challenges in the field Sometime around 360 BC, Aristotle alleged that “nature does nothing in vain.” According to the legends, his process of teaching was observing, talking and walking through the Lyceum in Athens, where a curious public gathered to learn. This became known as the Peripatetic School—peripatetic comes from the Greek word peripatētikos, or “walking up and down.” This movementbased, participatory, collective

spirit

learning in ancient Greece helped to inspire the conceptual formation of the Lyceum at Silo City. The 20+ acres site has been alive with exploration and wonderment since its inception as a space for cultural assembly. The educational component of the Silo City campus is flourishing now as the first course in Urban Ecological Regeneration is offered. The deadline for pre-registration is June 8. Visit lyceumsilo.city for more information. This is a place of growing ideas; resistance to movement is futile.

ART REVIEW art. Something akin to what Thoreau meant when he said he went to live in the woods to “transact business.” The starting point of her artmaking is the natural world, Treherne Craig says in an artist’s statement. And the real work seems to be looking and seeing deeply into that world. “In trying to really see my surroundings…I find a richness that is easy to miss in quick glances and casual appearances. We need to see it all; we need to open our eyes.” Much like Thoreau’s real work—his business—in his lifelong— not just the two years in the cabin in the woods—sedulous nature observational project. Treherne Craig says her artwork “is intended to be a call to be awake, to be aware…and therefore to be fully alive.” Thoreau puts the same thought more succinctly: “To be awake is to be alive.” The works on show include paintings, in acrylics and oils, drawings, with a type of water-soluble wax crayon, and a single giclée digital process print. Vividly colorful art, in shades of blue to blue-white to pure white—for skies and snow-covered fields, and lake or stream waters—or green to yellow to purple—for large grassy expanses in various seasons and various times of day—or red to pink to orange—for dawn or dusk atmospherics, with or without fleecy clouds. Predominantly. So that one work in a predominant dull latte brown comes as a surprise. A rural stream segment in springtime full-flow condition and opaque with springtime silt runoff. Amid grassy/muddy banks, and with a branch of white blossoms just intruding into the picture from the upper right border. Among other works, one showing a dark pool of still water beneath a waterfall spilling over a long arc of layered rock wall, but largely obscured by dazzling sunshine and shade effects on the water, transforming the dark pool into a huge ambiguous pea-green area, marked by further dazzle effects along a jagged diagonal line across the middle of the ambiguity area.

Nancy Treherne Craig, Local.

Vertical orientation to portray a hillside watercourse flowing downward toward and into the bottom of the picture is a nature painter cliché. A Treherne Craig vertical orientation watercourse averts the cliché in that the watercourse is an intermittent one. A rainy season runoff channel—full of collected rocks and boulders—in a dry period.

title: Yard Work, plus a number, one through six. But in no case among these pieces—or for that matter, any other of the works on show—any sense of what we usually mean by the phrase “yard work.” No sense of cutting grass, no sense of digging and planting flower beds. In fact, there’s not a human figure—doing anything at all—in any of the works. Just nature, sometimes on spectacular display, sometimes more subdued, more demure. What does “yard work” mean in the context? Maybe just the work of painting a picture. Maybe painting a picture in one’s backyard. I think probably both of these things, in some of the cases at least. But in all cases, I think, also something more, something deeper, and more to the point about Treherne Craig’s

The single giclée print depicts a farm field of purplish high grasses traversed by what might have been a single pass of farm vehicle tracks, against a distant dark line of trees, under the evening fading light of a cloudless sky. A scene of nothing much and everything—the vehicle traverse line a human gestural mark on an otherwise pristine place and time. One of the wax crayon drawings is of a stand of deciduous trees in glorious fall colors in a fusion mix reminiscent of classic Monet impressionism—the haystacks, the cathedral façade variations. Two of the pieces are preliminary versions of works later produced under the strict time limit—forty-five minutes start to finish—of the Hallwalls Midwinter Draw event. Both winter scenes, vignettes. The Treherne Craig exhibit is entitled Eyes Open. It continues P until May 26.

WEDNESDAY MAY 23 Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos 8pm Asbury Hall, 341 Delaware Ave. $35-$40

[METAL] Four guys on cellos playing Metallica—it’s as simple as that. Yet, it’s still all kind of mysterious. How? Or even better, why? The answers to these questions become clear upon hearing and viewing Apocalyptica’s live set. Apocalyptica is a cello-quartet from Finland who specialize in performing the music of Metallica. Though the group released their album Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos in 1996, this is the first time they’ve toured on the record. Catch the band live at Babeville’s Asbury Hall on Wednesday, May 23. -CP

Primus and Mastodon 5pm Artpark, 450 South 4th St. $45-$50

SOUND OBJECT: TATSUYA NAKATANI THURSDAY MAY 24 THE TINS "Sundried Mind" single Recommended if you like: Mac Demarco, Tame Impala, The Beatles Buffalo-based indie rock band the Tins are teasing their long coming self-titled EP with their new single “Sundried Mind.” The sunny indie rock tune is straight forward pop rock with a shifting, psychedelic foundation. The three-piece band will celebrate the release of their new album, The Tins, on Friday, June 1 with a show at Lockhouse Distillery.

7PM / SILO CITY, 120 CHILDS ST. [SOUND] Since the beginning of the Silo Sessions musical project to capture performances, recordings, and events inside the structures at Silo City, the goal has always been to create synergy between the musical medium and the acoustic and architectural medium of the grain elevators themselves. On Thursday night, May 24 a new episode in this series is taking flight with the renowned avant garde percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, who will bring his adapted gong and handcrafted Kobo bow into the silos for a unique, possibly transformative experience. Arrive on time, or even a bit early as space is limited in Nakatani’s performance space. -AARON LOWINGER

SPRUKE A Chip in the Workday album

Victor Wainwright

Recommended if you like: Anamanaguchi, Nullsleep, Yellow Magic Orchestra It’s a weird metric to measure by, but walking away from a Twitter account with more than one million followers (!) seems to be some kind of hard reboot for Buffalo-based electro artist Spruke. With this rebrand of sorts (follow him now @newspruke if you’re on Twitter), the Bump in the Night podcaster has released a new full-length album titled A Chip in the Workday. The chip tune record comes complete with a series video game-inspired Youtube video animations to go with the heavily video gameinspired music. Check out the entire “work day” from “Morning Commute” to “Evening Commute” on Youtube.

[ROCK] Primus and Mastodon are two huge bands that like to come to Buffalo pretty often. This, however, is the first time they’ve shared a bill, which makes this—one of Buffalo's first major outdoor concerts of the year—pretty special. Primus delivers with their weird, sometimes goofy yet challenging sets led by eccentric bassist Les Claypool, while Mastodon brings a more straightforward heavy metal set that stands out for its epic prog metal passages and general bad-assery. Both bands are touring in support of records released last year—Primus with The Desaturating Seven, and Mastodon with Emperor of Sand—the stronger of the two being Mastodon’s Emperor of Sand, which is both doom metal heavy and also one of their most diverse records. Primus on the other hand, maybe has the edge as far as hits go with classics like “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver” dating back to the early 1990s. Add Nashville-based psychedelic hard rock band All Them Witches into the mix and it’s more than a solid lineup as the first concert of the year in A r t p a r k ’s Coors Light Concerts series, this Wednesday, May 23. -CP

[ROCK] Returning to the Tralf Music Hall after a successful club-debut there last fall, Victor Wainwright brings an unusual degree of showmanship to your average blues gig. The 2016 BB King Entertainer of the Year's knack for storytelling and his animated "piana" playing have earned him a devoted audience, whether performing solo or alongside his bands the Wildroots and the Train. Although it's unclear if he's alone or with company on Thursday, May 24, he's got new material under his belt, having released the self-titled Victor Wainwright and the Train in March. Come hear what all the fuss is about as part of the Howlin' at The Tralf series. -CJT

If your boss is even at work, he or she will be half in the bag anyways, or doing nothing but planning on how soon and by what means they’ll be half in the bag in the near future. So, maybe you’re not going to work on Friday. If that’s the case, then boy, do we have something fun for you to do on Thursday night. Our monthly party, Let’s Get Lifted! continues this Thursday with DJs Bump & Touch, a.k.a. Sike and Chris Baran, who have endless crates full of the funkiest, grooviest disco gems that just make you want to grunt and flail with reckless abandon on the dance floor. Expect funk classics, obscure disco discoveries, soul burners, and pop grooves from the duo this Thursday, May 24 at Hardware. Come early, stay late, have a drink, and forget about work on Friday—it’s the weekend now. -CORY PERLA

FRIDAY MAY 25 Randy Bachman 7pm Seneca Niagara Events Center, 310 4th St. $45

[ROCK] One of classic rock's less-sung heroes, guitarist Randy Bachman hails from up in Winnipeg, where he eventually formed the Guess Who with a guy named Chad Allen. Allen left, and celebrated vocalist Burton Cummings joined the fold. Bachman co-wrote "These Eyes" and the lion's share of the band's material up until "American Woman," in 1970. Oft-misunderstood, the song was actually meant as a metaphor for the US's meddling in foreign affairs—a particularly relevant concern during the Vietnam War. But at the height of their popularity, Bachman left the group, citing exhaustion and lifestyle conflicts with his then-Mormon faith. Returning with Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 1973, he amassed a series of hit singles that are still in heavy rotation at classic and oldies format radio stations, but by late in the decade he'd gone his own way. Since then, there have been reunions and solo recordings—and a popular CBC radio show entitled Vinyl Tap, which Bachman hosts, playing pop, rock, and jazz selections and infusing them with a mix of industry lore and his own anecdotes. His son, Tal Bachman, does much of the research behind the show. Bachman (which, incidentally, is pronounced "back," not like the classical composer's name) tends to perform a mix of tunes from his Guess Who tenure and the big BTO hits with a couple Beatles covers thrown in, which will likely be the case for his casino gig at the Seneca Niagara Events Center on Friday, May 25. -CJT

Jason Hodges is one of my best friends in this whole music industry Fri 2/9 thing or whatever the fuck you want to call it Buffalo Brass Machine (attached BBM) nowadays. He’s a master of the SP-1200 and w/hands Pine Fever down just one of the best to ever come out of Toronto. This one was released on the $10 record label of another best friend of mine— Chuck Daniels’s label Sampled Detroit. This Sun 2/11is so well put together that I can never get one sick of listening to 5295) it. With Hodges doing his Parsonsfield (attached DSC thing on the boards, William Alexander takes $12 advance it away with the flow so dope—it’s the cherry on top. My favorite line was “I talk more shit than Rex Ryan”—which is relevant if you’re a Sun 3/11 Buffalo Bills fan since we had that fool for our Joe Pug head coach for a minute. 9th Ward:

RUFUS GIBSON’S ULTIMATE SUMMER PLAYLIST BY CORY PERLA THIS WEEKEND, BUFFALO house music

producer and DJ Rufus Gibson will head over to Detroit to perform at Sampled 16, an official after party of Movement Festival, one of the biggest house and techno music festivals in the world. He’ll share the bill with a whole bunch of house music’s biggest names including Andres, Rick Wilhite, and Chuck Daniels, the latter of which he brought to Buffalo just last weekend as part of his monthly Rufus Gibson Presents party series at the Gypsy Parlor. But that’s just the beginning of this artist’s summer festival plans. In July he’s slated to appear at one of Buffalo’s newest and hottest music festivals, Cobblestone Live!, along with fellow house and techno DJs Golf Clap and indie rock stars Broken Social Scene—as well as a pretty awesome and eclectic lineup of jam bands like Buffalo’s own Aqueous and the supergroup Michelangelo Carubba Super Jam. Look for Rufus to be posted up inside of Lockhouse Distillery for his set, which is part of the two-day festival taking place in Buffalo’s Cobblestone District on Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28. For this week’s Summer Guide issue, Gibson took some time to pick some of his favorite summer jams of all time—from 1970s funk to 1990s hip hop and jackin’ house of the 2000s— and to explain exactly why they’re everything you’ll need for a barbecue, a day by the pool, or a night on the back porch. Listen online at dailypublic.com. 1. “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” by Roy Ayers

Not much really needs to be said about this one. If you’re at a cookout with some old heads then you already know this song will be played at least four times— each time being better than the last.

2. “Voodoo Woman” by Lonnie Liston Smith

Some will call it jazz, some will call it funk, but one thing we do know is that Lonnie Liston Smith could never do any wrong. “Voodoo Woman” is that track for me where if I’m out on the porch posted up and lighting a spliff, then this can just roll on through in the background, making my day just that much better. 3. “West Savannah” by OutKast

Anyone that knows me from back in the day knows how hard I fucks with OutKast. I still say to this day that they were at their peak with the Aquemini LP. West Savannah” is my selection off this album. It’s definitely slept on the most, with most people’s favorite being good ol’ track #5, but I’m always a sucker for funky shit, and West “Savannah” gives it to you as if you’re taking off with 2 Dope Boyz In A Cadillac! 4. “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” by Nas

I always love this track if I’m waking up during the warm weather months and getting that first wake-n-bake going. Nas is a staple in hip hop without no debating, and with songs like this it’s obvious why they are classics. Using Micheal Jackson’s “Human Nature” for its lead groove, this song just delivers in every way possible—it’s impossible to have a bad day with this track on in the background!

$15 advance

8. “Our Music” by Trackheadz

This classic heater is such a bomb. I always have to tell myself not to play it because to me it’s that good. The original sample that this came from was Switch’s “A Brighter Tomorrow” which also in its own right is an excellent song. The strings in this song hit so right and I just lose it every time, as if I’m hearing this song for the first time ever.

DONOVAN FRANKENREITER W/ BENJAMIN JAFFE SUN 8/26 $25 ADVANCE

9. “You’re All I Need” by Method Man featuring Mary J Blige

First off, before I even start to write about this song, if you haven’t heard this song like ever, then do yourself a huge favor and escape whatever fucked-up cave that you live in and throw this shit on ASAP! This song is so damn special to me and I can think back in my head about 100 different things that I have done while listening. It was one of the earlier times in Method Man’s solo career that he really got into his emotions and worked that shit like magic. Pairing up with Mary on this song literally is a better combination than peanut butter and jelly (shots fired). The chemistry between the two was there so with that in place this song took off. It was an anthem in my opinion and can always go off in any setting that you could find yourself in. Always brings me to a good place. 10. “Take It Easy” by Mad Lion

Right off the bat, the beat on this song is knocking! Mad Lion’s verses dice this song up ever so smooth. “Take It Easy” can get any backyard party jumping in a second and still to this day is just as hot as it was back in 1994.

FILM REVIEW

Rick Folten in Goodland.

FARMLAND NOIR GOODLAND, POPE FRANCIS: A MAN OF HIS WORD, LET THE SUNSHINE IN BY M. FAUST AS FRIENDLY AS the name may sound, you would have no reason to visit the town of Goodland, Kansas, a small town only slightly less flat than the surrounding terrain. (“You could watch your dog run away for three days,” as one local pithily notes.) So when a stranger with the unlikely name of Ergo Raines (Matt Weiss) stops at the gas station and asks if there’s a place he can get a room, it draw attention. Even Ida (Sara Kennedy), the precocious clerk at the decrepit local motel, can’t believe she’ll be booking a room: “You know the new hotel up the road has a pool?”

Ergo claims to be taking photographs for a book on the America that the changing economy has left behind. In the case of Goodland, that would be the oil boom. This sets off the bullshit meter of local Sheriff Georgette Gaines (Cinnamon Schultz), but her curiosity is diverted to a more pressing case, that of a drifter who ended up on the wrong end of a combine harvester. Gee, do you think the two could be connected? Death by farm equipment and a persistent lady sheriff should tip you off that we’re in Fargo territory, which if you ask me is always a fine place to be. And if that Coen brothers classic of rural noir and jet black humor set a high bar for those who follow it, debuting writer-director Josh Doke acquits himself admirably. A native of those parts, he has an eye for local color, dusty as it is, and an ear for the kind of dialogue that has marked crime thrillers since the heyday of Philip Marlowe. And he knows how to get effects on a minimal budget: a dire event inside a bank is depicted by a long silent shot outside it, broken only by a sound effect.

now playing at the Dipson Eastern Hills Mall. As the film demonstrates without belaboring the point, one of the signature traits of this Pope is his willingness to reach out to people of all (or no) faiths in an attempt to bring a message of hope to the world. Filmmaker Wim Wenders, best know for showing angels regarding the foibles of humanity in his 1987 hit Wings of Desire, interviews Pope Francis and accompanies him on various trips around the world, to a Philadelphia prison, to the Philippines in the wake of a typhoon, to refugees who have survived crossing the Mediterranean sea, to a children’s hospital in Africa, to Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. Always remembering the saint whose name he took, he urges listeners to work for the common good, and to resist the global acceptance of indifference that urges us to ignore the suffering of others. It’s not a probing documentary. Wenders, certainly a capable documentarian, doesn’t do much with his subject’s biography, or with the resistance he faces from conservative elements of the church he heads. (If you are of a Manicheanistic bent, it’s hard not to think of him as the anti-Trump.) But it’s genuinely inspirational, and these days that counts for something.

You don’t need to be religious to get some relief for that despair from the new documentary Pope Francis: A Man of His Word,

CULTURE > FILM

A Man of His Word.

In, I kept thinking of Alan Rudolph, the independent director and Robert Altman acolyte who specialized in the 1980s and 1990s in wistful, jazz-tinged comedies about characters whose determination to find love was matched by their inability to get along with anyone. (He was recently the subject of a Manhattan retrospective, the first in years.)

But while Rudolph was able to find both humor and sympathy in the neuroses of his characters, Isabelle remains a cipher to us. Binoche gives the character her considerable all, and she’s a delight to watch, but that doesn’t stop us from growing frustrated with this woman.

•••

CULTURE > FILM

ALL THE WAY through watching Claire Denis’s Let the Sunshine

If only Rudolph had made this film as well. Juliette Binoche stars as Isabelle, a middle-aged artist who has divorced her husband and is now despairing of ever finding love again. That may explain her penchant for affairs with married men, though even the single guys who come her way are clearly (to us, at least) wholly inappropriate.

If Goodland has a flaw, it’s that this trim thriller (you could watch it twice in the time it takes to sit through one viewing of Avengers: Infinity War) sends you away with a few threads only partially unraveled: The final line of dialogue is a question that seems to pave the way for a sequel or a series.

come to think of it as a daily dose of despair. Even if you bear in mind that bad news is what sells, and a perpetual parade of VISIT DAILYPUBLIC.COM FOR MORE FILM LISTINGS & REVIEWS horrors is the best way to keep viewers glued to their screens, it’s hard not to feel at times that the world is a snowball gathering Wim Wenders and Pope Francis in Pope Francis: speed as it rolls downhill.

Juliette Binoche in Let the Sunshine In.

I should confess that I have never seen a film by Denis that didn’t bore me to tears, an opinion not widely shared, so if you’re a fan don’t just take my word for it. Fans of French cinema will certainly want to see it for the all-star supporting cast, which includes Xavier Beauvois, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Josiane Balasko, Bruno Podalydès, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, and Gérard Depardieu. It opens Friday at the Dipson Amherst Theater. P
