THIS WEEK’S UPS AND DOWNS BY THE PUBLIC STAFF

UPS: Kudos to MICHELE MARCONI, vice chairwoman of the Amherst Industrial Development Agency, who tendered her resignation last month in response to the Amherst IDA’s approval of $1.2 million in tax breaks for a proposed $14.4 million hotel project by Uniland Development, adjacent to the town-owned Northtown Center ice rink complex. State law says that hotel and retail projects do not qualify for IDA tax incentives, but the board voted 6-1 to grant Uniland its tax breaks anyway, citing a loophole that allows incentives for projects that might bolster tourism. (Which, of course, the town-owned ice rink might conceivably do, while the hotel will merely benefit from those out-of-town hockey players and their families.) In an interview with the Buffalo News, Marconi called the project “blatantly ineligible” and said the board approves far too many incentive packages for similarly unsuitable projects. “It was a pattern of behavior that I was unable to change,” Marconi told the News. There is something to be said for fighting from within the system, but there is also an argument, when the system proves intractable, for publicly walking away in protest. Marconi says she resigned five minutes after the vote on the Uniland project was taken. In response to the reported detente between the warring South Buffalo and filial factions of Carl Paladino and Brian Higgins, in service to their mutual support of state Assembly incumbent Erik Bohen, a grassroots campaign on behalf of Erie County legislator and Bohen challenger PATRICK BURKE led by Cheektowaga councilman BRIAN NOWAK raised more than $2,000 in small-dollar contributions. “This isn’t big money, but it sends a big message: People are tired of the pay-andplay politics and they’re taking action to elect the voice they want to represent them, instead of allowing the rich and powerful to chose,” Burke said in a press release. Burke is the endorsed Democrat in the race; in April, he lost a special election for the seat, vacated by Mickey Kearns, to Bohen, a registered Democrat who ran on the Republican and Conservative lines with assistance from Paladino and other right-wing conservatives.

DOWNS: Don’t get us wrong: We admire the work Erie County Comptroller MARK SCHROEDER does in that office, which seems custom-made for his temperament: careful and riskaverse, committed to ethical rectitude, determined to assign important governance work to professionals rather than politically connected appointees. But, to follow up on the Burke-Bohen race above, we’re a little taken aback that Schroeder has committed himself to incumbent Erik Bohen in the internecine South Buffalo fight for the 142nd District Assembly seat. Patrick Burke is a political protege of Schroeder; Schroeder backed Burke for his seat on the Erie County Legislature, and Burke repaid that loyalty by publicly supporting Schroeder’s bid for mayor of Buffalo last year, when no other elected Democrat would do so. Schroeder, like many South Buffalo Democrats, has a long relationship with the expansive Bohen family; he also has a long relationship with the Erie County Conservative Party, which supports Bohen. It’s been a heartbreaking summer in terms of violent and brazen crimes in Buffalo, especially those directly impacting young children. It’s made some city officials itchy, including University District councilman RASHEED WYATT, who wants the city to consider reconstituting the STRIKE FORCE UNIT, which was disbanded earlier this year, is the subject of a classaction lawsuit, and remains of interest to the state’s Attorney General’s office due to allegation of a persistent pattern of unconstitutional and discriminatory policing. Lost in the reactive emotion of the moment is the fact that Buffalo police are bad at solving violent crime. The city’s homicide clearance rate in the past five years is right around 25 percent—so bad that the BPD took the yearly charts off of its website. During that five-year stretch, of course, the Strike Force was otherwise occupied, writing tickets for garbage tote placement and setting up traffic checkpoints in minority neighborhoods. The question Wyatt ought to be asking is what is going on with new commissioner Byron Lockwood’s signature community policing program, and how is that aimed at addressing the obvious distrust in Buffalo between citizens and police? Councilman Wyatt, we don’t need yesterday’s solution, which put us in this mess to begin with, in which citizens feel so angry and frankly abused by police that they see them as the enemy. .Do you have ups and downs to share?

It’s how Democratic candidates show up on the “Working Families” and “Womens Equality” party lines. Even more horrifically cynical is party raiding, most frequently seen by Republicans hijacking the Green Party line by running handpicked dummy candidates to split the left-of-center vote and weaken Democrats. A decade ago, the fusion game was played on the late political pamphleteer Joe Illuzzi’s page, where the “Independence” party endorsement was largely dependent on whether a candidate bought an ad. The payoff here is that these tiny parties, which would otherwise have zero clout whatsoever, get to wield ridiculous influence over our electoral process that is totally out of proportion to their actual numbers. Party stalwarts get jobs. If it sounds like racketeering, that’s because it is.

THE PUBLIC / AUGUST 8 - 14, 2018 / DAILYPUBLIC.COM

But today is not that day, as an Assembly race out in the Rochester area is so glaringly revealing. There is a nasty Republican primary race now for the 133rd Assembly race, and sparks are flying. This is the seat that was vacated by the late tea party/talk radio Assemblyman Bill Nojay, who took his own life on the morning he was to go to trial for federal criminal fraud charges. Joe Errigo, who had served in the Assembly for 10 years under previous lines that largely overlapped, agreed to come out of retirement to serve again. He managed to win in the Trump deluge, despite showing obvious signs of Paladino Syndrome, like having a racist meltdown on live radio, insisting Obama was telling blacks to murder whites. Supposedly, the understanding was that Errigo would just be a seat warmer until the GOP could get its act together for this year’s election, but he stunned everyone by announcing he was running for reelection. The man is not well: sheriff ’s deputies had to bring him home after he got lost a few weeks ago.

COMMENTARY NEWS Enter Marjorie Byrnes, who decided to primary Errigo. She is a former Democrat and former Rochester City judge, but now she lives in Caledonia with a man named John Pauers, who just happened to be a vice chair of the Livingston County Republican Committee. Pauers engineered the Livingston County Republican endorsement for Byrnes, after which (coincidentally, Pauers says, but maybe not) the long-time GOP chair resigned. This leaves Pauers as acting GOP chair in Livingston County.

Marjorie Byrnes, who decided to primary Errigo the unwell, is a former Rochester City judge (she was a Democrat then). Byrnes received the endorsement of the state Conservative fusion party, and this happened:

there is something that needs to be disclosed. There would be no need to disclose that I was voluntarily supporting a candidate. However, not everyone at the meeting understood my intention, and I now realize that my statement could have been more express,” McGuire said.

“I am so incredibly proud that the state committee party chose to endorse me as their candidate,” Byrnes said. “I am sad that some politicians want to work against the conservative party candidate and their principles for political motivation.”

Livingston was the only county that designated Byrnes. The Monroe and Steuben GOP committees stuck with Errigo.

Prior to the vote, McGuire had written a letter to the state Conservative Executive Party Committee, outlining the reasons why the Livingston County Conservative Party was supporting Byrnes. In the letter, McGuire also disclosed to state committee members that he had assumed campaign manager responsibilities for Byrnes.

When the committee learned that McGuire was a paid member of the Byrnes campaign, McGuire returned the $20,000 payment to Byrnes and sent a letter on July 23 to Michael Long, chairperson of the state Conservative Party, notifying him that he had returned the money to Byrnes and offering to resign his seat on the executive committee.

The explosive news is that a Republican Assembly candidate paid Livingston County Conservative Party chair, the Reverend Jason McGuire, an outrageous $20,000 for “consulting” just before the Conservative County Committee gave Byrnes its designation as candidate in the race. McGuire—who has used his pulpit for anti-LGBTQ political purposes—has since returned the money, but you’re unlikely to find a more egregious or obvious example of the electoral fusion culture of bribery and scandal. This sort of payoff isn’t an unintended consequence of fusion, it’s become baked into the system itself. Here’s what a Rochester political consultant said about that amount of money:

“The $20,000 fee is beyond comprehension for a race for the Assembly. We are talking about a primary not a hugely contested general election… and even then it is more than twice what it should be,” said Arnie Rothschild, a Rochester Political Consultant who previously worked on Mayor Lovely Warren’s Campaign. “I have been in 150 or so elections around the state and would never ask for that kind of money.”

So, that $20,000 “consulting” gig coincided with this:

“In full disclosure, you should know that I am assuming campaign manager responsibilities for the Byrnes campaign,” McGuire wrote in the letter. But the letter did not disclose that he had accepted $20,000 from Byrnes to do the job. At the same time, Byrnes filed and disclosed her campaign expenditures with the state, as required by law. Her filing included full disclosure that she had paid $20,000 to McGuire for his services coordinating her campaign.

The obviousness of the pay-for-play was pretty glaring, even for right-wingers:

The [State Conservative fusion] committee ultimately decided to authorize Byrne as its candidate for the 133rd Assembly District, but some members did not realize McGuire was receiving compensation and felt misled. State Party Chairman Mike Long said in the aftermath he asked for the regional vice chair’s resignation.

So, McGuire returned the money, explaining:

“I honestly felt that when I used the phrase ‘in full disclosure’ that my point was clear,” McGuire told The Livingston County News via email. The response was received after this week’s print edition had gone to press. “The phrase ‘in full disclosure’ means that

The Errigo campaign pounced, accusing McGuire and Byrnes of corruption:

“This is the worst of what New York state politics is all about and it should not happen,” campaign spokesperson Arnie Rothschild said. “The fact that Mr. McGuire now says he has returned the money is an indication he recognizes this was wrong. However, if you rob a bank and return the money two days later, you’re still guilty of robbing a bank.” Rothschild questioned why McGuire did not recuse himself from the state committee’s conversation about the race. He also said $20,000 is an unusually large amount to pay for an Assembly race and, to his knowledge, McGuire has not served as a campaign P consultant before this year. The Livingston County chair said he has in fact been involved in numerous campaigns although he typically works for free. The Errigo Campaign said it is reviewing the incident with attorneys and has not filed any formal complaints, although they believe it is potentially a felony.

It’s not just the “worst” of what New York politics is about; it is emblematic of the fundamental corruption of our fusion system. Fusion and these sorts of commonplace payoffs—usually done more subtly than this McGuire/Byrnes scenario—is at the heart of our system and the root of New York’s culture of corruption. It is pervasive and constant. It happens here in Erie County every election cycle. It is everywhere. After all, what good is it running a minor fusion party with a handful of P members if you’re not getting paid?

LOOKING BACKWARD: ELLICOTT DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CIRCA 1962

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BUFFALO HISTORY MUSEUM.

This aerial view of the Ellicott District Redevelopment Project, the first and one of the largest urban renewal projects undertaken in New York State, shows the purported progress. The view is from above Jefferson Avenue, looking west along Clinton Street and William Street, in about 1962. In 1959, the Board of Redevelopment began confiscation and demolition of nearly every property on 29 blocks of the near East Side. Here, the redevelopment is underway, among the earliest and certainly largest attempt to reshape the city with a suburban model in mind. In the foreground is the Towne Gardens apartment complex; to the right, the Towne Gardens Plaza.

NEWS COMMENTARY often against the EU, and always against the liberal elites— whom British Prime Minister Theresa May described as “citizens of nowhere.” There is something conspiratorial about this animus, a notion that the common man is at the mercy of a shadowy network of string-pullers that rules the world. In the days when Stalin identified enemies of the people as “rootless cosmopolitans” (meaning Jews), the headquarters of this omnipotent global network was thought to be New York, with branch offices in London and Paris. Now it is located in Brussels. Immigrants, particularly from Muslim countries, bear the brunt of populist propaganda. Bannon wrote the first draft of Trump’s so-called Muslim ban, barring immigrants from several predominantly Muslim countries. Orbán has fortified his borders to protect “Christian civilization.” Salvini wants to deport all illegal migrants from Italy. The Brexit campaign, led by Johnson, warned British voters that their country would soon be “swamped” by Turkish immigrants, even though Turkey is nowhere close to joining the EU. But however unpleasant anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies may be, the main target of the populists’ ire remains the sinister globalist elite, represented by George Soros and other liberals whom they accuse of promoting human rights, compassion for refugees, and religious tolerance to further their own interests. They are the ones who are supposedly swamping Christian lands with aliens. They are stabbing Western civilization in the back. Bannon has actually expressed admiration for Soros, even though he sees him as a kind of Satan. He wants to be the Soros of the right.

STEVE BANNON’S EUROPEAN ADVENTURE BY IAN BURUMA

THE REPUTED MASTERMIND OF DONALD TRUMP’S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN HAS LAUNCHED A FULLSCALE EFFORT TO UNITE EUROPE’S RIGHT-WING FORCES AND BRING DOWN THE EUROPEAN UNION. AFTER BEING CAST OUT of the White House and Breitbart

News, Stephen K. Bannon, often referred to as the mastermind of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has vowed to remake Europe. His organization, called “The Movement” and based in Brussels, aims to unite Europe’s right-wing populists and take down the European Union in its current form. Bannon sees this effort as part of a “war” between populism and “the party of Davos,” between the white, Christian, patriotic “real people” (in the words of his British supporter, Nigel Farage) and the cosmopolitan globalist elites. In the media, at least, Bannon is taken seriously.It would seem to be a tall order for this permanently disheveled American media blowhard and promoter of cranky ideas about cyclical cataclysms to change the history of Europe. Despite meeting such right-wing luminaries as Hungary’s strongman Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, and Boris Johnson, the clownish former British foreign secretary, all of whom wish him well, Bannon has almost no experience in European politics. He

THE PUBLIC / AUGUST 8 - 14, 2018 / DAILYPUBLIC.COM

stunned a sympathetic audience in Prague by ranting against “unfair competition” from foreign countries that use cheap labor. Much of the Czech Republic’s GDP comes from exports, for just that reason. But the main problem facing Bannon’s effort is that rightwing populist leaders are a disparate bunch. Bannon himself is a Catholic reactionary with fantasies, fueled by his love of Hollywood heroes, of being a warrior against the forces of evil. Orbán is an autocrat who exploits popular disillusion with postcommunism by blaming immigrants and the EU, even though the Hungarian economy depends on the single market and subsidies from Brussels. Northern European demagogues, like Geert Wilders, see Islam as the main threat to Western civilization, but defend such causes as gay rights (because Muslims supposedly hate them). In Britain, Johnson stands for, well, Johnson, but his fellow Brexiteers are less interested in the Islamic threat than in a grandiose version of English nationalism. France’s National Front, now called the National Rally, is a Le Pen family enterprise trying hard to dissociate itself from its anti-Semitic, Vichyite roots. As was true of European fascism in the 1920s and 1930s, it is not easy to find much ideological coherence in these various political strands, let alone in Bannon’s Movement. What they all have in common, however, is reliance on animus, sometimes directed at Muslims, sometimes at any kind of immigrants, very

It might seem ironic that radical nationalists, like Bannon, should be seeking to unite in a global movement, as though they were mimicking their internationalist enemies. But the populists’ goal is not to destroy elitism; it is to replace the old elites. Hence the common language of self-pity, as though Orbán, Salvini, Wilders, and the rest were being oppressed by the “Davos Party.” Often from marginal backgrounds, they feel excluded, insufficiently recognized, even looked down upon. It is their turn to rule, they believe—and to exact revenge for all the slights they think they have received on the way up. This is why Donald Trump, the uncouth property developer with a huge chip on his shoulder, is their hero. Trump clearly feels more comfortable speaking to dictators than democratically elected leaders. He likes the idea of one strongman dealing with another. But this doesn’t make him an internationalist, any more than jamborees of European rightwing populists make for a coherent international movement. These are occasions for mutual flattery and strutting in front of the cameras. Whether the populists can do more than that—collectively bring down the EU and reorder the Western world—is hard to tell. Given their diverse interests, rivalry may cause them to splinter. For example, whereas Trump and Bannon see China as the great global enemy, Orbán has been greedily accepting any Chinese money on offer. And the English nationalists are driving their country into a not-so-splendid isolation. A true “nationalist international” can emerge only when such contradictions are addressed. But wherever the global right ends up, it is unlikely that Bannon’s Movement will be the vehicle that gets it there. Ian Buruma, editor of the New York Review of Books, is the author of numerous books, including Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo Van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance, Year Zero: P A History of 1945, and, most recently, A Tokyo Romance.

ART REVIEW landscape.” He likens the appearance of the works to things seen “at a glance, or as a blur…as colors, shapes, and small segments of structure,” interspersed with “areas of abstraction.” Monet would have understood. The paintings are uniformly diminutive in size—about four inches by six inches—except for one larger work mounted to stunning effect on a light box, called Illuminating Garden, Champaign, Ill. Showing what seems to be a lush flower garden and pedestrian bridge over water, reminiscent of Monet’s iconic impressionist depictions of his gardens at Giverny. Most of Gilham’s other locales are closer at hand. Letchworth State Park, Reinstein Woods, Zoar Valley, Canalside, and one work is called Sunflowers on Pavement Road, Lancaster. In numerous also smallish—about eight inches by 10—paintings in a charmingly simple serene pictorial style, Marie Prince shows kids playing ball, playing music, playing on the beach, running, reading, biking, rolling hoops, and much more of the like. Somewhat of a romantic vision. Never fighting. Never hurting one another. But “at a time when violence is prevalent in our society,” she says in an artist’s statement, her works “reflect children having fun, getting along, and enjoying their young lives, as they play, think, create.” Marie Hassett’s birds, she tells us, are meant as both “reminders of what has been lost and what is at risk of disappearance in the natural world…the species shown here are extinct or have been threatened with extinction due primarily to human actions.” And regarding her meticulous fabricational technique, “I work with various fibers and found objects using repetitive stitching— not unlike the repetitive activity of nest building—to give form and detail to each piece.” Marie Hassett, Bald Eagles.

create his art deco look sheet steel columnar sculptures, usually consisting of twin riser segments that play alternately—in alternate examples—on themes of similarity and contrast. In an artist’s statement, Schmidt describes his work as about “harmony without narrative. Form is the subject,” he says. “The overall goal…is to create a direct perception of form as form.”

CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY at Artists Group Gallery, works of three radically disparate artists—Henry Schmidt’s formalist sculptures in metal, George Gilham’s neo-impressionist oil paint on filmstock nature vignettes, and Marie Prince’s idyllic nostalgic scenes of childhood acrylic paintings—while in the adjoining Art Dialogue Gallery, a score or so of Marie Hassett’s exquisite fabric and collage art depictions of birds of various species, and thoughts about species survival—or not—in the modern world.

Amidst the metal sculptures, a few anomalous—and notably beautiful—works in wood. Such as a lovingly finished blond maple more or less column culminating in a form that plays on the title word Fluke, as one half of a whale tail, but also, perhaps, the fortuitously elegant original form of the matrix wood piece, that would have suggested the ever-impressive—often photographed—final glimpse view of a whale cresting event. Or a Noah’s ark with disk semi-circle hull and undulant gunwale, evocative in this case of ocean waves.

Henry Schmidt uses a mix of mechanical reference—straight edge and angle—and organic reference—undulate—forms to

Labels consist of a synopsis title word and name in parentheses of the depicted species, followed by a short paragraph on the survival status—or alternatively, fate—of the species. Such as Remembrance (Carolina parakeet), and information that the species “once ranged over the United States as far north as New York. They vanished in the wild due to woodland destruction and ruthless hunting. The last pair…were cage mates at the Cincinnati Zoo for over thirty years,” but both succumbed within the past year or so. Other synopsis title word Remembrance works are about the Labrador duck and the Pink-headed duck. But occasional stories of hope, as that of the Peregrine falcon. Synopsis title word Presence, and information on how this marvelous avian—reputed to be the fastest member of the entire animal kingdom, capable of reaching speeds, in dive maneuvers, well over 200 mph—by the 1960s had become “an endangered species…due to widespread use of pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT in the early 1970s, and due to conservation efforts” such as raising captive-bred birds to be released in the wild, the species “has made an impressive comeback.” The Artists Group Gallery three-artist exhibit continues until August 17.

Their latest, 2017’s Wolves, one of the first major punk rock releases since Trump’s inauguration, taps into themes of the 2016 presidential election with songs like “Welcome to the Breakdown,” which has lead singer Tim McIlrath shouting lines like “When we all go deaf in the chamber of echoes / Cheering the missile parade / Agreeing to let all the banks rob the people / Together we circle the drain.” Though much of the record was written before Trump’s inauguration, McIlrath went back to rethink some of the lyrics after the election’s shocking outcome. On the live stage, the band has an intensity that is hard to match as they blaze through their powerful discography, and in the end, despite all of the talk of political Armageddon, they usually offer some hope and reassurance for the future. Rise Against comes to Niagara Falls for a show at the Rapids Theatre on Thursday, August 9 with a pretty huge bill that also includes AFI and Anti-Flag. -CORY PERLA

There’s even been some well-founded talk of turning the site into a national park one day. No event successfully explores and melds the silos and its grounds into performance like Torn Space Theater’s annual event which casts the silos in feature (if not lead) roles in the production. For two consecutive weekends, the centerpiece of TST’s third annual Response Performance Festival, Stations, will take place at Silo City, transforming the grounds with sights, sounds, and projection designs. Carrying audience member through “stations,” the performance explores themes of healing, trauma, and unification with four collaborative installations by local and international artists, technicians, and performers. It’s a far more visceral experience than a night at the theater, and the production will take the audience into a whole new section of the otherworldly industrial complex. Performances will being as the sky darkens each evening against 8pm.

SPOTLIGHT RADIO had many memorable moments and routines. They’ve interviewed various comedians, including Todd Glass during the Shredd & Ragan Garage Sale, Tom Green, Lisa Lampanelli, and many others. They entertain listeners with the Niagara Falls police blotter, with a routine in which they attempt attempting to unite Craig’s List Missed Connections, and by playing OTF (Ohio/Texas/Florida), where they read off stories and a listener has to guess in which state the story took place. The team gets involved with larger local stories too. One of their most memorable moments dates back to 2006, when there was still a toll booth at the Breckenridge and Ogden toll barrier on I-190. Shredd and Ragan thought of ways to protest the toll, and encouraged people to pay with pennies. They set up a broadcast outside with politicians Kathy Hochul and David Swarts as guests, and a “penny protest” ensued, with people honking and holding up signs. The toll booths were eventually removed. When red light cameras were proposed for Buffalo, the duo

A person hit by a car while attempting the Drake “In My Feelings” challenge. A death metal version of a thunder-snow weather forecast. An STD bracket challenge during March Madness. All stunts, news, and features brought to the Buffalo public through local radio.

Ted Shredd and Tom Ragan are veterans of the radiosphere. Their characteristic blend of news and comedy has been entertaining Buffalo listeners for over two decades on 103.3 The Edge. When listeners tune into the duo’s show on weekday mornings, they can expect plenty of laughs, interviews with comedians, entertaining news stories, and an infectious camaraderie between the two hosts. Both Shredd and Ragan had separate starts in the radio industry, but they found their way into the Buffalo arena together, and together they have remained. Shredd grew up in Elgin, Illinois, and had his first taste of broadcasting as a Little League baseball announcer at the age of 13. Throughout high school and college, he took part in the school radio stations, as a music director and as an on-air weekend jock. He knew radio was what he wanted to do with his life. But Chicago is a large radio market with lots of talent, and Shredd couldn’t find a job there. On a whim, he decided to move to Lake Tahoe and contacted every radio station in the area. One radio station needed someone to do the midnight shift, and Shredd was prepared to do that. From there, he worked his way up in the radio world. His boss in Lake Tahoe took a job in Buffalo, then reached out to Shredd to come join him and work overnights. Shredd took a job producing the Taylor and Moore Show on 103.3 WPHD, which later became The Fox and is now The Edge. Ragan grew up in Pennsylvania, and was inspired by his father, a football broadcaster. Ragan helped with scoring and as a spotter, setting up the broadcast with his dad, and helping with the

They host Halloween parties to benefit Variety Club, a nonprofit that serves the needs of sick, disabled, and underprivileged children in the Buffalo.

all the proceeds benefiting local children.

Ragan sent audition tapes to many radio stations, and his chance at a radio career opened up when Tom Burns, who was the program director’s assistant for WGR, pulled Ragan’s audition cassette tape out of a box full of tapes. Burns liked what he heard, and gave it to the program director. The station wanted to a new show in the afternoons, and Ragan was hired.

In everything they do, the goal is to make listeners laugh and put smiles on their faces. They credit much of their success the two and their assistant producer/imaging director, Evan James. The four of them collaborate on ideas, and Jacka books many of the guests and does the prep work for the show. James helps with many

That first year of their show was an eventful year in local and national news—the death of Kurt Cobain, the O. J. Simpson scandal—and they were able to bring plenty of information and stories to life. At the time, they received their news via teletype, a typewriter-like device that would print out news, weather reports, sports, and entertainment. The Associated Press sent these stories all day long, and the pair sifted the printouts for news for their show.

From the start, the friendship between the duo was easy and spirited and apparent, on and off the air. The first few years of starting a radio show and building an audience are the toughest, but they prevailed.

“Keep looking out for those stories that are fun to make fun of,”

“If you can make it there for a while, you can have some longevity,” says Shredd. “The hard part is getting past those first couple years and breaking in.”

BUFFALO FILM SEMINARS, FALL 2018 BY M. FAUST CATCHING UP ON the never-ending pile

cost. That’s why the North Park Theater is able on occasion to offer a number of different films in a single week, and weekend matinees of classic movies or ones that wouldn’t otherwise attract a large crowd. It’s why the Eastern Hills Mall has been able to run a monthly series of classic films noir, and the Amherst Theater one of 1980s horror movies, both very popular.

of magazines while on vacation last week, I got around to reading a New Yorker article called “How Superheroes Made Movie Stars Expendable: The Hollywood overhauls that got us from Bogart to Batman.” In it, Stephen Metcalf reviews some recent books on the current woeful state of Hollywood, including The Big Picture: The Fight for the Future of the Movies by the Wall Street Journal’s Ben Fritz. Dissecting the factors that led studios to invest just about all of their attention and capital in least-common-denominator special effects movies that will generate endless sequels, he sees little hope that theaters will go back to being an adult gathering place anytime in the near future.

And there’s the granddaddy of all of these, the Buffalo Film Seminars. Since the turn of the century, when UB professors Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian first opened up screenings of their film survey class to the general public, the BFS has screened hundreds of movies the way they were meant to be seen, on a biggerthan-life screen in front of a crowd of people, often to audiences who had never had a chance to see them that way.

Metcalf is surprised to report that, for all the work he did detailing what most of us would consider a downward spiral, Fritz in the end doesn’t seem too upset by it. Why? Because TV is so good these days. Fritz writes, “For those of us who simply want to sit down, turn off the lights, and be immersed in the magic of stories told in images on a screen, the future has never looked brighter.” That may be. But that’s like saying that the future for eating is rosy because of the rise of food trucks. I love food trucks, but they’ll never replace a sitdown meal at a good restaurant, where you can take your time and savor the experience with a worthy companion.

As always, the fall series opens with a silent film shown just the way your greatgrandparents saw it, with live accompaniment by pianist Philip Carli. It proceeds with some Hollywood classics, some foreign films, and a recent film or so that Jackson and Christian think will stand the test of time. Any movie on the schedule that you’ve never heard of should vault to the top of your must-see list: a new discovery is a gift from the movie gods. Series tickets are available at a 15 percent discount, no matter when you buy them. (If you buy one in mid-series, when there are only seven screenings left, it will cost you the price of seven tickets minus 15 percent. Too much math? Let the ticket seller figure it out for you.)

If there’s a bright spot to be found in the diminished role of movie-going in the American experience, it’s this: Digital distribution has made it possible for older films to be shown in theaters at a reasonable
