Big up to JUSTICE FOR MIGRANT FAMILIES and other advocacy groups statewide calling for ease of access to driver licenses for all people. Using the New York State Fair in Syracuse as a backdrop to point out the enormous role that migrant workers perform in the state’s agricultural economy, advocates are continuing to push state lawmakers to join 12 other states with similar laws already on the books. “Many farmworkers are still unable to drive to and from work, seek a doctor, and sign up for car insurance. It’s time for New York to move forward and make driver’s licenses for all a reality,” said Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition. Advocates also believe that opening the door for driver licenses to be made available to non-citizens would create an economic boon for the state, to the tune of $57 million. This is a no-brainer to us: Government should be in the business of making roads and drivers safe and not reserving that right for US citizens only. The bill in the state Assembly gained some momentum last year, gaining the support of 34 members, including Buffalo’s Crystal Peoples-Stokes.

BRUCE ANDRIATCH, an editor with the Buffalo News, wrote a refreshingly personal column Tuesday describing his struggle with the Catholic Church over its handling of its ever-widening child sex abuse scandal. He wrestles to square a church that outlaws homosexuality, married pastors, and women in leadership positions with an institution that has helped cover for priests that rape children in almost every parish around the globe. But Andriatch’s column is thoroughly Western New York in its tenor and generosity. A must-read.

DOWNS: GREGORY KWIATKOWSKI, the former Buffalo police lieutenant who pleaded guilty in 2016 to police brutality charges, returned to court last week to testify against two of his former Buffalo police colleagues on trial for allegedly shooting four Buffalo teenagers with their own BB gun. According to the Buffalo News, “Under cross examination by defense attorney Terrence M. Connors, Kwiatkowski admitted that he had lied several times in the past about using excessive force, including under oath in both a civil trial and an Internal Affairs investigation.” While abhorrent, this admission had to be some form of music to the ears of Cariol Horne, the former Buffalo police officer who was fired from the force after she intervened in an arrest Kwiatkowski was effecting by choking a suspect in 2008. Horne was fired just shy of her 20-year mark, depriving her of her full pension. Kwiatkowski has since retired with a full pension. Until Horne is vindicated, this ugly chapter in police accountability during Byron Brown’s tenure as mayor continues to be written on the wrong side of page.

Despite polls showing he leads Democratic primary challenger Cynthia Nixon substantially, Governor ANDREW CUOMO can’t be confident in his job security. On Tuesday, August 21, former Syracuse mayor Stephanie Miner filed petitions with the state board of elections to run for governor as an independent candidate. Needing 15,000 signatures, Miner gathered 40,770 signatures, so she will be on the ballot is November. Miner is a Democrat once beloved of Cuomo, before a bitter political parting in 2013 precipitated by her public criticism of Cuomo for policies that she felt placed unfair financial burdens on cashstrapped municipalities. Miner’s running mate is Michael Volpe, a Republican mayor from Westchester County, on the Serve America Movement (joinsam.org) line. SAM is an Albany-based group, formed after Donald Trump’s election in 2016, which presents itself as a nonpartisan political movement but whose leadership comprises veterans of George W. Bush’s administration and Wall Street’s finance markets. The Republicans who run SAM say they have all renounced their party memberships, and that Miner’s candidacy is not meant to abet Cuomo’s Republican opponent, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro. Rather, SAM says its goal is to create a new party in American politics to rescue us from the corruption of the two major parties. Whatever SAM’s and Miner’s motives, of course it helps Molinaro: Miner is likely to draw more Democratic votes from Cuomo (assuming he wins his primary against fellow Nixon) than Volpe draws Republicans from Molinaro. Recall that Mario Cuomo lost his 1994 reelection bid to Republican George Pataki by fewer votes than were tallied by Independence Party candidate Tom Golisano. Miner’s candidacy, if well financed, is more than an affront to Cuomo’s vanity; it’s a threat. And if Nixon loses the Democratic primary but stays in the general—perhaps on the Working Families Party line—then Andrew Cuomo is in trouble. Do you have ups and downs to share?

THE POLITICS OF DISGRACE: CANALSIDE AND COLLINS IN THE CROSSHAIRS BY ALAN BEDENKO

CANALSIDE DEVELOPMENT AND STATE AUTHORITIES HEY, BUFFALO, did you see the news about Nick Sinatra’s deal with the Erie County Harbor Development Corporation to build two buildings at Canalside?

Can someone explain to me how this bullshit RFP process to select a designated developer is a proper utilization of government power? Because what really should be happening is that the government builds out the streets, ensures that the necessary utilities are in place, does whatever environmental remediation is needed, and codifies whatever zoning and design restrictions to which it wants the prospective buyers to adhere. That. ls. It. The state should have simply made the parcels “shovel-ready” and then auctioned off or sold the individual properties. Let Sinatra compete in the open market against Paladino and Savarino and the Montantes and Pegulas and whomever else is interested. What’s happened here is that uniquely “New York” way of doing business, which—if it isn’t expressly and directly corrupt—is nevertheless covered in a sheen of Albany sleaze. This award by the ECHDC board allows for subjective opinion and corruption to flourish. I’m not accusing this award to Sinatra of being corrupt, per se; but it’s that same opaque Albany process that leaves Utica factories empty, and leads to convictions of people close to the governor. The South Aud Block is now done, and the North Aud Block is going to be under consideration next, and the developer designation there will also be awarded in a process that has the appearance of transparency, but isn’t based on objective criteria. Think about it: Canalside is now a decade old, and as great as it is, it’s still just a lawn with summertime temporary tents for concerts, and morning yoga programming. The whole thing was hijacked by a farcical “placemaking” process to hinder development of long-extant master plans, and instead “lighter, quicker, cheaper” quickly revealed itself to be “grass, tents, and no toilets.” Until now, the most significant structure has been the snack shack. How has it taken a decade to get to the point where an actual proper building—the Children’s Museum—is finally going up? That’s easy: Planning by committee is a slow enough process in the private sector, but grinds to a snail’s pace when it’s done by a public benefit corporation run by a state authority—it’s why the only Roy Rogerses in Christendom are on property run by the Thruway Authority. It’s shit food for a captive audience—no one with any sense or choice would voluntarily eat poor food served in an apathetic atmosphere.

Every big developer in Buffalo is politically connected, and a massive donor to all and sundry. In the wake of what happened with Ciminelli, you’d think these people would be reticent about even setting up an opportunity for bid-rigging. I look forward to the North Aud block project being awarded to another predictable company.

THE NY-27 FRAUD There’s a well-documented fraud being perpetrated upon the voters of the will-begone-by-2022 27th Congressional District. As a preliminary matter, it is by no means a guarantee that the Republicans will be able to remove Chris Collins from the November ballot and replace him with someone else. They may be stuck with him, and they very rightly should be. Collins can’t simply move out of state, and his mere indictment isn’t enough to disqualify him. The only way the eight Republican county chairs touching NY-27 can arguably replace Collins is to devise some fraudulent scheme to do so. That’s why we are left with rumors that Collins may be shunted into some picayune campaign for town clerk in Amherst or Elma, or some town position in Clarence. What self-respecting town committee would sacrifice itself for this (alleged) crook? In the meantime, there are now 11 GOP candidates coming to Batavia to kiss the rings of the bosses of the eight families, and looking MARQUIL / EMPIREWIRE.COM

to curry especial favor with the boss of bosses in the Erie County GOP. They’re making no bones about it: They want someone with name recognition and an ability to raise a million bucks. That’s a tall order—most have one, but not the other. What this is can be simply described: It’s a ruse and a plot and a scheme—a fake, phony fraud to jettison Collins, a guy they were telling us was fantastic just two short weeks ago but is now the embodiment of poison itself. The amazing part of all of this is that they knew Collins was, at best, ethically challenged with his puffery of Innate stock, and using his official post to help Innate in its private business dealings in the US. Yet, they dutifully endorsed him anyway, all the while insisting that the accusations were false. They could have had a come-to-Jesus talk with Collins a year ago. Maybe Collins could have, I dunno, let someone know about the target letter he certainly received from the feds. You don’t spend a quarter-million dollars on DC attorneys if you’re not in serious legal peril. But no. Instead, the Republicans in NY-27 left the vetting of their candidate to the Democrats and the Department of Justice. And this is what they get—a fraudulent scramble to circumvent the rules and crown some Albany seat-moistener (or similar) to Congress, and trick their P own constituency.

TIMES ENDORSEMENT BOOSTS TEACHOUT CAMPAIGN BY ZACH WILLIAMS ON A SATURDAY morning eight years ago, a New York Times endorsement shook up state politics.

Sean Coffey, a trial lawyer, was hoping for the newspaper’s endorsement in his primary battle against state Senator Eric Schneiderman. Democratic political consultant Bruce Gyory, who was working for the Coffey campaign, was left breathless after he picked up the paper in the driveway of his home in the Albany suburbs and saw that Schneiderman—who would win election that November—had received the support of the paper’s editorial board. “It felt like a solar plexus punch,” Gyory said in a telephone interview. “It was a real blow to our campaign.” Campaign staffers on the campaigns of Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney and Leecia Eve might be feeling the same type of pain this week following the Times’s endorsement of Zephyr Teachout for attorney general. The endorsement could affect crucial swing voters in the suburbs and Manhattan alike as Teachout makes a move to overtake Maloney as the candidate best positioned to confront frontrunner Letitia James in the final weeks of the campaign before the September 13 primary election. “An endorsement like this will clearly be a shot of adrenaline to the Teachout campaign,” said Gyory, who is not affiliated with any of the campaigns for attorney general this cycle. A flurry of Tweets from the Teachout campaign on Sunday underscored the value her campaign attached to the endorsement, which followed an endorsement from The Nation magazine a few days before. The Times editorial presents Teachout as New Yorkers’ best chance to counter the excesses of the Trump administration while also confronting a culture of corruption at the state level. It could also help Teachout in her competition with Maloney for votes in the “Hudson north” region, a crucial area for either of them to challenge James’ frontrunner status, according to Gyory. James’s campaign, though, could see the endorsement as a wakeup call to pay more attention to voters in Manhattan, according Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf. Times readers in the Upper West Side and Upper East Side often depend on the paper’s endorsement in deciding votes in low-visibility “This [attorney general)] election has certainly not been a high information election,” Sheinkopf said in a telephone interview. “It could have a disproportionate impact in this election.” Times endorsements over the past two decades have mostly gone to Democratic candidates in the general election, with the notable exception of the paper’s support of Governor George Pataki’s 6

reelection in 2002. Whether or not the paper’s endorsement affects the Democratic primary in the attorney general race this year, the paper has backed the winning candidate in a number of statewide elections. This is what happened in 2010, when the Times’s endorsement helped push Schneiderman over the top in a five-way primary race for attorney general. But the 2006 endorsement of former New York City Public Advocate Mark Green—who went on to lose—instead of Andrew Cuomo shows that a campaign with an emphasis on public interest issues and political reform can attract support from the state’s largest newspaper—especially when Cuomo is involved in a Democratic primary. The paper also declined to make an endorsement in the 2014 Democratic primary for governor, costing Teachout a much-needed boost in her longshot bid for an upset over Cuomo. However, James’ sincreasingly close relationship with Cuomo might have cost her a chance to use a Times endorsement to increase her lead over her rivals in this year’s primary. “She has embraced political contributions from donors to Mr. Cuomo, who held a fundraiser for her earlier this summer,” reads the Times editorial. “Such political contributions could become a conflict of interest for any candidate.” Teachout still faces significant hurdles in the weeks ahead to not only challenge James but also surpass Maloney as her most viable rival. Maloney raised the most money of any candidate in the latest fundraising disclosures—though James had more cash on hand—with Teachout in a distant third. Two polls from last month placed James in the lead with the support of about a quarter of voters, well ahead of Maloney and Teachout, who each had about 15 and 12 percent of support, respectively, of voters in both the July 31 Siena Collegeand the July 18 Quinnipiac University polls. The leader in both polls was “undecided” at 42 percent of voters, leaving an opening for James opponents in the final three weeks before the September 13 primary election. Teachout will need to catch a second wave of support between now and then if she wants to stand a chance at pulling off the upset, because the Times endorsement has not changed the fundamentals of the race, even if she’s just received a jolt of momentum moving forward, according to Gyory. “At this point the basic math of the race still remains,” he said. “James is ahead.” Zach Williams is a staff reporter at New York Nonprofit Media, a sister publication of City & State, with which The Public shares content.

CODING FOR OUR FUTURE BY CATHLEEN DRAPER ELNAZ AMINI LOVES biology and dreams of one day earning her

master’s degree and working in government.

Pursuing that dream could have been difficult if she hadn’t moved to Buffalo in March 2016. In her home country of Afghanistan, potential career prospects were few for women. “You could go to school, but after graduation from the school and college, there wasn’t a job that you could pursue,” Amini said. “The only job that you could have a future in would be [as] a teacher, for a woman.”

“You have learned how to use the next generation’s pencil,” Hochul said. “It is coding. This is the language; this is the tool you need to be able to succeed in future jobs.” Hochul acknowledged the girls “opened doors that were not open to [them]” prior to the camp, and she encouraged the girls to believe in themselves and have confidence in their own abilities. Hanna advised the girls to continue their STEM education and pursue careers in related fields, especially with the growing number of jobs and a lack of diversity.

Amini, a junior in high school, took one step closer to achieving her goals after graduating from AT&T’s Coding Your Future camp, a two-week coding camp for young refugee and immigrant women designed to help close the tech gender gap, bring diversity to the field and slow the local brain drain.

Only 29 percent of major technology firm employees are women, and just 18 percent of those pursuing bachelor’s degrees in computer science are women.

WNY STEM Hub, SUNY Buffalo State, Journey’s End Refugee Services, and AT&T created the initiative, and the program received significant funding from AT&T and support from the Buffalo Urban League.

Plus, 81 percent of high school girls who study computing over the summer have a greater likelihood of continuing their STEM education into college than their peers who did not, he shared.

Twenty-eight middle- and high-school-aged girls participated in the camp and honed their technology skills while also sharing their personal stories with each other. On Friday, August 10, they celebrated their achievements and shared their final projects with their families and local and state leaders. The girls come from countries such as Nepal, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Eritrea, Congo, Bhutan and Iran, and all reside in Buffalo. Translators from Journey’s End Refugee Services assisted students with little-to-no English understanding. Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, Assemblyman Sean Ryan, Executive Director of Journey’s End Refugee Services Karen Andolina Scott, AT&T’s Regional Director of External Affairs Kevin Hanna, SUNY Buffalo State President Dr. Katherine Conway-Turner and WNY STEM Hub President Michelle Kavanaugh addressed the students and encouraged them to continue their STEM education beyond the camp.

“It’s important to study STEM so you have opportunities in the future and have as many opportunities as possible,” Hanna said.

The girls worked with a programming language called Scratch, which features animation. Through the program, the girls created interactive computer games. Amini’s game involved a small avatar at the bottom of the screen, which users must guide to dodge balls that fell from the top of the screen. In her friend Bina Dahal’s game, the user guided a small avatar through a series of scattered corridors to collect various objects. The girls also learned a variety of Microsoft Office products, including Word and PowerPoint. Barbara Sherman, associate professor in the computer information systems program at Buffalo State, organized the teachers and curriculum. She got involved with Coding Your Future through her work with the Girls Coding Project, another coding program funded by AT&T targeting economically disadvantaged girls. “For success in school, it’s [really] important for them to have technology, [but] they need some of the basic skills especially since

we had no idea what their computer skills were,” Sherman said. Dahal and Amini both created PowerPoint presentations that shared the most important aspects of their stories up until the coding camp. Dahal, a senior in high school, focused her slideshow on her journey from Nepal to Buffalo in 2009, as well as the challenges she faced in school, where she was bullied for two years. Her struggles were made worse since she wasn’t able to speak English. But, her “awesomeness” started in the fourth grade thanks to a kind teacher, she said. Now, Dahal plans to attend the University at Buffalo and study neuropsychology and eventually earn a Ph.D. in the field. And, Andolina Scott promised Dahal, Amini and their peers that Journey’s End and the regional partners would continue to advocate for the girls and their efforts towards a new life and hopeful future in Buffalo. “We can appreciate the struggles that you’ve had to overcome to even get here and continue with your education and your own American dream,” Andolina Scott said. “Just because this program is ending today and graduation is happening today, it doesn’t mean our work for you, our advocacy for you or advocacy for immigrants and refugees who continue to come to the United States and continue to P come to Buffalo is ending.”

ART REVIEW but neither did anyone—not even the innocent who were wrongly convicted—dwell on the injustice or harshness of their sentences, but many spoke eloquently and convincingly about the misguidedness edging into cruelty and inhumanity of the system itself. How it seems much more geared to punishment and humiliation than genuine rehabilitation of prisoners. The inadequacy of counseling resources and job training programs in prison and afterwards, so that ex-prisoners find themselves in the same desperate financial conditions and untethered social situations that nurtured the criminal activities that got them into the system in the first place. The egregious overuse of solitary confinement as a supposed disciplinary method. The racial bias, inside even more than out.

COMING HOME: REENTRY AFTER INCARCERATION BY JACK FORAN

AT CEPA GALLERY, ERROL DANIELS AND KATHY RUSSELL PRESENT PORTRAITS OF FORMER PRISONERS IN WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS ONE OF THE convicted felon subjects of Errol Daniels’s photography exhibit about “re-entry after incarceration” pretty well summed up the sense and spirit of the work, describing one of the photos of himself as “a mugshot I can be proud of.”

some remarkable personal inner resources and personal decisions on the part of the ex-inmates. Plus often magnanimous help— in material and spiritual terms—from their own brother and sister former prisoners, who in addition to their own struggles to survive in the outside world, work tirelessly in various supportive programs—many of which they started themselves and run themselves—to help the next person in line. Many of the show subjects are themselves active in support programs (a possible key factor in their own notable success in their postprison rehabilitations).

The exhibit currently at CEPA is the result of a multi-year project by Daniels and writer collaborator Katherine Russell photographing and interviewing men and women who served sometimes decades-long prison terms, now back on the outside. A handful of photos of each ex-prisoner, in their current work and home environments. And changed radically, it would seem, from the often violent individuals they were when they were first caught up in the incarceration system. The changes not necessarily due to the system—or the change ratio overall would be much higher than it is—but more likely attributable to

The interview and photography project included about twenty former prisoners, about half of which—some live locally, some in other moderately distant locales, like New York City and New Jersey—were present at the show opening and took part in panel discussions on the project and prison life and prison aftermath. No one was less than candid and forthright about having committed the crime or crimes for which they were charged and convicted—except for one or two who affirmed they were innocent and wrongly convicted, and listening to them, it was palpable they were indeed wrongly convicted—

THE PUBLIC / AUGUST 22 - 28, 2018 / DAILYPUBLIC.COM

A handsome book accompanies the exhibit, that includes many or most of the photos in the gallery show, together with text essays on each of the ex-inmates. Such as Jerome Wright, clearly an alpha figure, from the time of his earliest criminal activities among drug and mayhem gangs in the Bronx in the 1970s, then during his few decades in prison, and now on the outside. He served as emcee of the panel discussions at the opening. His in-prison activities resulted in significant solitary confinement periods, during one of which he and a cell neighbor—somehow they contrived to communicate through the solitary unit walls— held the first brainstorming sessions about a project to keep young people from heading down the same futile path they had traversed. Decades later, that initial brainstorming resulted in a program—called Mentoring and Nurturing, or M.A.N., for short—it’s ultimately about what constitutes real manhood, versus some macho street definition—is part of the curriculum for at-risk students in some Western New York schools. Wright is also an organizer for the Western New York Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement (i.e., solitary). Or John Figueroa, who was incarcerated beginning at age sixteen for 16 and a half years—including an incredible six straight years in solitary—and now runs a reentry program for ex-prisoners, a mentoring program for young people, and community training programs on topics such as gang intelligence in the workplace. Or Leonna Rose, an unstoppable type who seized educational and skills training opportunities wherever they occurred and refuses to accept or abide by the stereotype views society would apply to her as a woman and/or an ex-prisoner. Since incarceration she has worked productively and successfully in a variety of industrial and building trades jobs. Just that, as she says, “As a female, you have to work harder.” Or Tyrone Morgan, who spoke about the mugshot he could be proud of. Profiles in courage and perseverance across the board. The P CEPA exhibit continues through August 31.

The five-piece jam band from Rockville, Maryland will return to Western New York for a show at Artpark on Wednesday, August 22 on a tour, the namesake of which comes from the band’s new single, “Just Like Paradise.” Support comes from singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson. -TPS

Seth Bernard and Johnny Irion 7pm The 9th Ward, 341 Delaware Ave $15-$18

[FOLK] A multitalented singer/songwriter who doubles as an environmental activist, Seth Bernard grew up amid farming culture at Northern Michigan's Earthwork Farm. His music reflects his background with earthy textures, and his passion for peaceful environmental reform is a recurring theme in his work. In 2001, he founded Earthwork Music, a Michiganbased collective of indie artists focused on environmental advocacy, social justice, creative empowerment, and community building. Since then, he's gone on to serve as the director of the Musical Ambassador Program for On the Ground, fostering partnerships and cultural exchanges between communities in southern Mexico, Ethiopia, and eastern Congo and with those in Michigan. Earlier this year, he helped launch the Clean Water Campaign, an organization committed to helping elect clean water candidates for 2018, a very serious issue in his home state. Bernard just released his new Eggtones for Directions last month. Johnny Irion is perhaps most well known for his work with wife Sarah Lee Guthrie; the duo's 2013 disc Wassaic Way was produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Irion's latest solo record, Driving Friend, came out in May. Bernard and Irion make for a captivating, folksy double bill at Babeville's 9th Ward on Wednesday, August 22. -CJT

FRIDAY AUGUST 24 J Roddy Walston & the Business 7pm Asbury Hall, 341 Delaware Ave. $18-$21

[ROCK] Richmond, Virginia-based quartet J Roddy Walston & the Business formed more than 15 years ago as a by-product of Walston's piano playing and gospel-steeped upbringing. Using a Southern-fried template that's a bit less twangy than, say, Blackberry Smoke, the band moved from Vagrant Records to the Dave Matthews-owned ATO label for their most recent releases, 2013's Essential Tremors and Destroyers of the Soft Life, out last fall. Walston's piano remains an integral part of the band's sound, but …Soft Life in particular, with guitardriven singles like "The Wanting" and opener "You Know Me Better," shows them trimming the fat to produce anthemic rockers that take them out of the rowdy barroom and place them somewhere on your radio dial. Thankfully, not a whole lot gets lost in translation. It may not be as gritty as it once was, but these guys still play rock and roll. Hear for yourself when they come to Babeville's Asbury Hall on Friday, August 24 with Black Keys-influenced duo Illiterate Light opening. -CJT

A buddy of both fellow surf-guitar-guy Jack Johnson and alt-hip-hop maven G. Love, Frankenreiter’s music embraces a pleasing soul-tinged vibe that’s kept him in rotation at Starbucks to this day—not necessarily a bad thing. After a pair of well-produced albums for

The Rifts, Elemantra, Hundred Plus Club 9pm Nietzsche’s, 248 Allen St.

PUBLIC APPROVED

[ROCK] A solid lineup of rock music is set for this show at Nietzsche’s on Saturday, August 25. Rock band the Rifts, Salamancabased alt-rock Elemantra, and garage rock band Hundred Plus Club are slated to take the stage at the Allentown venue. -TPS

5PM / ARTPARK, 450 SOUTH 4TH ST. / $17-$22 [ROCK] For the perpetually 1980s-enthused, this is the package tour of the summer—and it’s a doozy. Tom Bailey, lead vocalist of the Thompson Twins, has released his first full-length solo album ever, Science Fiction, just last month—a collection of moody, electronic pop that’s earning him some of the most impressive reviews of his career. (Critics are saying it’s the best Thompson Twins album that never happened.) The B-52s, meanwhile, are celebrating 40 years of touring with a hit-packed set that still manages a few semi-deep cuts (“52 Girls,” “Mesopotamia,” “Whammy Kiss”). Then we have the original lineup of Culture Club—on the eve of releasing Life this October after permanently shelving 2016’s almostalbum Tribes—busting out with some interesting cover choices in addition to their delightfully, reggae-bouncing new single, “Let Somebody Love You,” plus a handful of crowd-pleasing faves. The Boy no longer sounds like a flamboyant version of Smokey Robinson, but his pipes have plenty of character and he can definitely carry a tune…still, you’ve got to allow a little room for all that hard living to take its toll. Seems like this is a no-brainer good time to wind down your summer concert season, Tuesday, August 28 at Artpark. -CHRISTOPHER JOHN TREACY

SUNDAY AUGUST 26 Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Festival 11am Silo City, 120 Childs St. $20-$50

[FESTIVAL] The Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Festival is back for its second year, and its lineup of more than 30 performers is even stronger this time around. Billed as “The Ultimate Sunday Funday” the multi-stage festival features music from rap artist Chae Hawk, blues band Miller and the Other Sinners, DJ SHUB, EDM artist Almand, and many others. There’ll also be multiple art instillations created by local artists and a film festival presented by Bak USA. It all happens this Sunday, August 26 at Silo City. -CP

Rig Time, Uniform OPR, and DUDES 6:30pm Sugar City, 1239 Niagara St. $5

[PUNK] Head over to Sugar City for a bunch of hardcore and punk this Sunday, August 26. The top slot goes to La Crosse, Wisconsinbased hardcore band Rig Time. They’ll be joined by Buffalo punk bands Uniform OPR and DUDES. -TPS

HANNIBAL BURESS TUESDAY AUGUST 28

PUBLIC APPROVED

7:15PM / HELIUM COMEDY CLUB, 30 MISSISSIPPI ST. / $30 [COMEDY] Comedian Hannibal Buress has made it a habit of coming to Buffalo on short notice. His performances at Helium Comedy Club, this Tuesday, August 28 and Wednesday, August 29, were announced just last week. Last time the self-proclaimed “mildly popular” comedian came to Buffalo, it was on an even tighter timetable, making a last-minute surprise appearance, which was announced only the day of the show, April Fool’s Day, 2016. Despite the last minute announcement, hundreds of fans lined up to attend the show, which was held at the Waiting Room—to see the former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock writer deliver absurdist jokes with a perfectly deadpan delivery. He’s had his fair share of provocative public moments, too including calling out Bill Cosby’s sexual abuse in a standup routine and, more recently, being cut off during a routine at Loyola University for making a joke about the Catholic Church’s history of child abuse. He’s certainly not afraid to go there and, more importantly, speak truth to power. Expect some of that next week when the Chicago native P makes a stop in Buffalo for three shows. -CORY PERLA

Nintendo Night at the Center 8pm Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Ave free

[FUN] The Burchfield Penney Art Center will host a pretty unique video-game focused event this Sunday, August 26. Line up on the front lawn of the Burchfield Penney Art Center to compete in a selection of classic Nintendo, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii games including Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario Cart, which will be projected onto the side of the building in larger than life size. Sign up sheets will be available starting at 7pm. -TPS

TUESDAY AUGUST 28 Shonen Knife 7pm The 9th Ward, 341 Delaware Ave $18-$20

[ROCK] Hard as it may be to swallow, Shonen Knife is pushing 40. 37, to be exact. 37 years of touring—and not a whole lot has changed, musically, which goes to show that consistency holds value. There have been some lineup shifts over the years, but the Ramones-inspired, basic

punk aesthetic remains—as does a relationship with Buffalo which brought them here to record a Robby Takac-produced Ramones tribute album around the time of their 30th anniversary. Maybe that's why the Osaka, Japan-based maidens of punk have chosen to kick off their Alive in the USA 2018 tour here on Tuesday, August 28, downstairs at Babeville's 9th Ward. Since releasing their most recent studio set, 2016's Adventure, they dropped a live album, ALIVE! in Osaka, which highlights their new drummer, Risa Kawano (2015-now) and features a cover of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind."

SPOTLIGHT BIKE TOURS How do these stories jibe with more commonplace narratives of Buffalo history—and, for that matter, its present? What should we take from them?

We leave the tour’s interpretation open-ended. But a main goal is for people to start to think about this place critically and where do we want to go from here. As George Santayana’s is famously quoted, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Most people know Buffalo was booming at the turn of last century when it hosted the Pan American Exposition. For some reason, the analysis usually stops there. I think the real question is what happened and why? When we visit different parts of the city and see its disinvestment, there’s so much to unpack. And while we address some of the city’s unfortunate past, we also show the visionaries—people who had unconventional ideas at the time but who made this place a stronger and better place. We have some really amazingly beautiful stories here of people coming together to challenge inequality and fighting for a freer place. Ultimately, this tour is about drawing the connections between the factors that shaped this place, and getting people on bikes, seeing the city with new eyes.

THE B-SIDES RIDE BY GEOFF KELLY

MARC MOSCATO’S BIKE TOUR PRESENTS AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY OF THE CITY: LABOR UNREST, CIVIL RIGHTS STRUGGLES, WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE, LGBTQ MOVEMENTS, AND MORE. LAST WEEKEND, Marc Moscato began a

new bicycle tour of Buffalo: the B-Sides Ride, which takes cyclists on a journey that touches on histories of the city that aren’t frequently celebrated. Workers strikes, antiwar movements, LGBTQ activism, battles over women’s reproductive rights—Buffalo has a rich legacy of social justice and radical political activism, much of which doesn’t make it into tourism literature. Moscato, who recently returned to his native Western New York after a decade on the West Coast, hatched the idea early this summer. The tours take place Saturdays and Sundays, leaving at 10:30am from Breadhive Bakery (402 Connecticut Street), through the end of September. The tours are free, though tips are appreciated, and reservations are required; tour groups are capped at 25 people. (Visit buffalobiketours.com to register.) We asked Moscato to tell us a bit about the B-Sides Ride and its inspirations: Who are you? What were you doing here before you left for the West Coast? What are you doing here now?

My name is Marc Moscato, I’m a Buffalo native and arts organizer. My background is in film and video—I studied at UB, worked at a TV station, and edited commercials before realizing my values didn’t align with corporate media. So I began curating film screenings at Squeaky Wheel and went to grad school for arts management. That brought me out to Portland, Oregon, where I spent several years working for arts and civic groups, before founding Know Your City, an organization that leads tours and publishes guidebooks. I recently decided to return to Buffalo for the cheaper cost of living and the opportunity to create more of the life I want. What’s the inspiration for the B-Sides Ride?

To be honest, I never really liked history growing up. I thought it was deadly boring, I didn’t understand why I had to memorize all these facts that had no relevance to my life. Then, in my early 20s, I was involved in political organizing work—I was a co-founder of Buffalo Critical Mass and was involved with the 2001 FTAA protests. Through these experiences, I started to see the connection between the city’s history and some of the larger social factors that shaped it.

I also of course have been an avid bicyclist for years—I went almost 20 years without a car. Buffalo is a great city for biking in the warmer months—it’s flat and we have a ton of parks and natural places. When I moved back, I noticed there really isn’t anyone that’s doing regularly scheduled bike tours and there was an unmet need. I’d also say the tour is inspired by free walking tours found in most major European cities. These tours don’t charge an admission—they just ask for a donation at the end. This model is just beginning to catch on in the US and we’re the only free tour in the city as far as I know—so that’s another unique thing. Tell us about a couple of the places you take your riders, and the stories you tell about them.

One site I have affection for is the site of the Afro Asian Bookstore, which played a central role in the 1967 race riots on Jefferson. The store sold books, African crafts, and soul and jazz records that were played on a loudspeaker attached to the building. In some bizarre series of events, its owner, Martin Sostre, wound up being the target of a drug sting and was sentenced to 41 years in prison for allegedly selling a $10 bag of dope. He later became an outspoken reformer for prisoner’s rights, including winning the right to freedom of religion for prisoners. His story has totally been lost to history—when he died there wasn’t even an obituary in the paper. We take people by the Calumet Building, the site of the offices for the Ku Klux Klan in Buffalo. We tell people about the story of how the Klan operated here in Buffalo, the grassroots opposition, and how they were eventually exposed by the Mayor Francis Schwab. It’s pretty crazy to think that all happened less than 100 years ago in the heart of Chippewa Avenue. A last favorite stop is Ralph Martin’s, Buffalo’s first gay bar, which operated from 1934-1951. Martin was a fascinating character—a champion boxer who was politically connected at city hall so he could more or less operate his club openly. The place was a hit with Buffalo’s gay, lesbians, and prostitutes—they had drag shows, same sex dancing, and if you were too drunk, you could sleep in the booths overnight. The site now has a statue of Jimmy Griffin, Buffalo’s famously antigay mayor, at its location. How did you find these stories? How did you choose them? Who helped, and how did you research them?

Many of the stories I was already familiar with as I grew up here. We have a stop about Operation Rescue, and I clearly remember that as a kid and being terrified about what was happening. So it

What’s next?

was a lot of fun to revisit those stories and think of how to patch together a narrative. I started by identifying some basic themes and reading up on local history—especially useful were Mark Goldman’s books. This led me to some more specialized topics and, after a few weeks, I developed a list of potential topics and stops. From there, I tried to develop one stop per week and by the end of a couple of months, I had enough content for a tour. From there, it’s been a matter of editing and fine tuning, which I’m still doing! I definitely want to acknowledge the help I’ve received from our libraries—Buffalo History Museum, University at Buffalo Archives, Buffalo & Erie County Library, and Buffalo State College—as well as Housing Opportunities Made Equal, Partnership for the Public Good, and George Scott at the Colored Musicians Club. Some individuals were great resources— Ana Grujić, Doug Ruffin, Alberto Cappas, Bruce Beyer, and Mike Frisch. Finally, I couldn’t have done this without the help of my friend Nathaniel “Vegan Nate” Hill and Brian Grunert at White Bicycle.

Well, we’re doing these tours every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30am, so that’s what’s immediately next! We’ll run them until at least the end of September—or as long as people keep showing up. We’re hoping to build on this trial year and expand the schedule in 2019 with more tours and new themes. I’m personally hoping to take more of a backseat and hire guides so that I don’t have to do all aspects of the business. I’m also trying to develop some larger ideas on how to promote Buffalo and the Western New York region. Having lived in Seattle and Portland and seen both the positive and negative effects of economic development, I want to see Buffalo continue its revitalization but avoid some of the common pitfalls, especially in regards to displacement. I’d love for this region to be a place that’s not 20 years behind the curve but one that’s leading groundbreaking community-designed projects at the intersection of art, history, and P community development. Stay tuned!

You must have had to leave out some sites and stories, for lack of time. Want to share some B-Sides to the B-Sides?

Definitely—putting together a tour like this can be challenging as we’re limited by time and geography. One thing that’s been trying is how to best incorporate is the city’s labor history. We know Buffalo is a part of the Rust Belt and its industry has been so much a part of its story, as has the labor movement. It’s challenging as many of the sites of our big strikes took place on the outskirts. One place we were originally going to include was the Teck Theater, the headquarters for the Communist Party in Buffalo. The building was raided twice during the Palmer Raids in 1919 and 1920, with more than 100 arrests—and ultimately many deportations. We also had the House of Un-American Activities in Buffalo, which resulted in the blacklisting of Manny Reid and Milton Rogovin, two of Buffalo’s most wellknown artists. Nothing is left of the building and it’s hard to get to by bike so we scrapped that one. Incidentally, there’s still no memorial anywhere in the city to acknowledge any of our labor leaders. A few other sites we chose not to include due to distance are Seneca Indian Park (where Red Jacket and Mary Jemison were buried), Broderick Park (a significant stop on the Underground Railroad), and University at Buffalo’s South Campus (site of late 1960s activism). All great stories but just a bit out of the way. DAILYPUBLIC.COM / AUGUST 22 - 28, 2018 / THE PUBLIC 15

WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH RUST

Essays by Bruce Fisher about Rust Belt economies, environments, and politics.

A RIDDLE WRAPPED IN AN ENIGMA, WITH CHEESE PUZZLE BY M. FAUST ON A RAINY Sunday afternoon during a recent

beach vacation, the weather stranded us inside in search of something to while away the time. Such days are why beach houses always have a jigsaw puzzle or two on the premises. We picked one of 1,000 pieces, a picture of kittens wreaking havoc on a kitchen, and set to work. The weather thankfully improved, and throughout the week anyone in the house who had some free time would sit down with it for a bit. The last piece was put in place on Thursday afternoon. What took us four days would be accomplished by Agnes (Kelly MacDonald) in four hours, if that. A Hudson Valley housewife who ends to her husband and two teenaged sons, she is ordinarily too busy for such foofaraw. But after an especially wearying evening, she sits down with a newly acquired puzzle and is surprise to see that her mind relishes the challenge. The evening was so tiring because she spent it tending to the guests at a birthday party, at which she is far too busy serving and cleaning to have a good time. It isn’t until it’s over that we discover that the birthday was hers, And that’s Agnes’s life in a nutshell.

The financial decline of the middle class is the issue of our time. Bruce Fisher’s Where The Streets Are Paved With Rust is a must read for anyone seriously trying to understand why it happened and how to fix it. —Ted Kaufman, former United States Senator and advisor to Vice President Joe Biden

To understand Rust Belt politics, you can’t do better than to read Bruce Fisher’s excellent essay collection.

A script contrivance or two brings Agnes to Manhattan and the luxurious if empty home of Robert (Irrfan Khan). A millionaire thanks to a patent he claims to have discovered by sheer accident, he has nothing in common with Agnes other than a skill with puzzles. He needs a new partner for the upcoming competitive puzzle solving competition, at which he and his recently departed wife were the reigning champions. You say you never knew there was such a thing as competitive puzzle solving? Neither did Agnes. As Robert drily observes, “Don’t tell anyone or there’ll be a run on the place”

The tidiness of jigsaw puzzles as a substitutable metaphor for life (unlike life, you can solve them) is so pat that I assumed Puzzle was based on a script by a first-time writer, perhaps begun as a film school writing assignment. To my surprise, it is a remake of a 2009 drama from Argentina. This version was adapted by Oren Overman, whose resume includes such wellregarded independent films as Love & Mercy, The Messenger, and the Bob Dylan pastiche I’m Not There. That Puzzle comes across as sincere but overdetermined may be the fault of its director, Marc Turtletaub. Better known as the producer of such hits as Little Miss Sunshine and Loving, this is his second stint in the director’s chair. The first, Gods Behaving Badly, a comedy about the Greek gods interfering in the lives of modern mortals, was panned so badly at the one film festival where it was shown in 2013 that it was never shown again. This despite a cast that includes Alicia Silverstone, Sharon Stone, John Turturro, Edie Falco, and Christopher Walken as Zeus. Seems to me that if you have a movie starring Christopher Walken as Zeus and you can’t sell it at least to Netflix, it can only be because you aren’t trying. Puzzle certainly isn’t a bad movie. It’s mostly disappointing because it seems that it should be better than it is. A team of actors as capable and underused as MacDonald and Khan (one of India’s biggest stars) would ideally have been given a better vehicle, though they bring their best to it. I was also impressed by David Denman as Louie, Agnes’s loving but clueless oaf of a husband, who brings shading to a role P that could easily have been a stereotype.

GAY HOLLYWOOD CONFIDENTIAL, ACCORDING TO SCOTTY SCOTTY AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD BY GEORGE SAX THE WAY THE very impressively spry nonagenarian

Scotty Bowers tells it, it all really started when film star Walter Pidgeon pulled up in his ’46 Lincoln Continental to the Sunset Boulevard gas station where Scotty, recently mustered out of the Marines, was pumping gas. Observing the attendant’s comely appearance, the actor inquired about the possible availability of additional, more personal services. And whiz-bang, there followed Scotty’s first professional transaction with a celebrity trick. Soon he was arranging for Pidgeon to enjoy the company of a number of his young, attractive male friends and acquaintances, which Scotty seemed to have in abundance. As he relates things in Matt Tyrnauer’s curious, enthusiastic documentary, Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood, word of mouth spread the recommendations sub rosa and soon Scotty was accommodating customers and working boys in a trailer in back of the station and at a friend’s motel across the street. And his customer list included some pretty high-placed move-industry talent: actor Charles Laughton, A-list director George Cukor (A Star Is Born, My Fair Lady), Katharine Hepburn. (She wasn’t after boys.) Wait, wait, it gets better, or worse. The ambisexual Scotty says he helped out the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who supposedly liked to watch threesomes perform. Tyrnauer’s movie was inspired by a memoir of the same title Scotty wrote and published a few years ago. It’s a little hard to know how to take all this. On the one hand, it does have at least a modest, slightly musty element of delicious dish, for the limited audience remaining for old-Hollywood gossip. On the other, there is some room for doubt about some of these alleged confessions and revelations. There’s precious little corroboration for these stories (a complaint lodged against the

book). Several talking-head worthies pay tribute to Scotty’s historical importance and generous spirit, including actor Stephen Fry and former Variety editor Peter Bart, but tributes like these aren’t really evidence. It’s not a matter of doubting that there was a gay Hollywood underground, for there surely was, and it’s been examined before in more disinterested terms. Scotty comes across as a sort of combination Hollywood Madam and none-too innocent Zelig. His stories can engender some suspicion of varying degrees of exaggeration, as when he tells us of a poolside three-way involving him, Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, at Frank Sinatra’s place yet. As if! Tyrnauer’s movie really functions more effectively as a portrait of an amusing, genial, probably inventive survivor of a time when homosexuals feared discovery and police surveillance and occasional brutality, a time to which Scotty bears credible witness. He may be the social and generous guy portrayed here (he claims he wasn’t a pimp because he took no cut) and some portion of his story may be more or less true, but the movie doesn’t make much of a case. Scotty appears to be an affluent owner of several Hollywood-area homes—courtesy of a late lover—each of them packrat-stuffed with decades of accumulation, which makes the lack of documentation more curious. Tyrnauer follows Scotty around LA and sometimes the film’s pace and interest flag. At times Scotty becomes slow and focused on extraneous material. Those with a durable nostalgia about the bygone era this man claims to have enlivened behind the scenes, this teller of tales tall or otherwise, may find this movie enjoyable. It will be at the Dipson Eastern Hills Cinema for five P days only beginning this Friday.
