UPS AND DOWNS: PRIMARY ENDORSEMENTS EDITION BY THE PUBLIC STAFF WHEN PRESIDENT DONALD Trump was inaugurated some 18 months ago, he spoke to a nation he felt had abandoned its principles by opening the door to immigrants and lambasted a perceived ideology of political correctness that his followers believed was diminishing the country. “This American carnage stops right here and stops now,” he said. Yet the administration that followed has been characterized by its divisiveness and rancor. His cabinet has become a bitter turnstile of characters ill-fitted either to their roles or to the president’s volatility. We’ve seen a rising and violent American Nazism given a free pass by the president, and an immigration policy targeting Muslims and Latin Americans that features forced child separation that will forever stain the pages of the American history. We’ve seen an administration boldly and repeatedly degrade the precious line between fact and fiction, while attacking the free press as the “enemy of the people.” And we’ve seen an administration drowning in corruption as Special Counsel Robert Mueller zeros in on a ring of criminality that encircles the president.
PLEASE EXAMINE THIS PROOF CAREFULLY
American carnage, indeed.

the same ticket as the governor, much like president and vice-president. And if the role is symbolic, then why not elect a candidate whose commitment to ideals is uncompromised by stubborn political realities? It’s not a stretch to imagine the firebrand New York City councilman as the president of the state Senate creating a significant role for himself in the state’s politics, simply by using his position to speak truth to power, to indifference, to mediocrity, and to inertia.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: ZEPHYR TEACHOUT. We’re tempted to write in Barbara Underwood, the current attorney general who has performed the duties of that office admirably after Eric Schneiderman’s stunning exit earlier this year. We love how Underwood has treated her office, opening the door for her attorneys to pursue justice unencumbered by political considerations. Alas, she’s not running, but proven progressive Zephyr Teachout is. So are three other appealing candidates. Tish James, the New York City public advocate, has the backing (and money, and campaign mechanism) of downstate Democratic leadership, which makes her the frontrunner. And James would be a fine choice. Leecia Eve, the dynamic daughter of the legendary former Assemblyman Arthur Eve, has moved fluidly between high-powered jobs in the public and private sectors, while observers of her career wondered when she’d finally run for office. Here she is, and she’d be a fine choice, too, especially given her Buffalo roots. Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney is likewise an unimpeachable choice for Democrats, but progressives need him to keep his seat in the House more than they need him as AG, especially given the quality of his rivals.
Teachout is distinguished from the others because she is the least likely of the four to fall into the habit of making political considerations while pursuing an AG’s agenda. She does not owe any political machine enmity or friendship; she has not built a ledger of favors given and favors owed, as all good politicians do. All elected officials are better for knowing how to work politics, and the craft is too often held in disdain, but Teachout can hire people to do that work for her. The state Attorney General is the people’s lawyer, as all four candidates seem to understand. Teachout seems best positioned to deliver on her promise to be that.

SHAQURAH ZACHERY. This is the only high-profile Democratic primary in the region. You’re forgiven if you live in the 63rd District and know little about Zachery, an African-American attorney. She has raised less than $10,000 in donations so far for this race, while racking up debts to printers and campaign staff of nearly $69,000. Her campaign has been earnest but low profile. Meanwhile, incumbent Tim Kennedy is spending $10,000 a day to fend her off: about $200,000 in the last three weeks, according to the latest campaign finance filing, as evidenced by the barrage of glossy mailers and TV advertisements bombarding the heavily Democratic district’s voters. Since the beginning of the year, Kennedy has spent almost $393,000. Why so much money? There are no public polls out there, but presumably Kennedy—a fundraising machine whose ability to bring cash into the local party has made him a valuable asset—feels as vulnerable as he did when Betty Jean Grant nearly beat him in previous primary challenges, despite, like Zachery, having little money and little campaign organization. Since jumping from Erie County Legislature to the state Senate in 2010, Kennedy has been a fairly reliable vote for progressive causes and labor, but privately activists and labor leaders all say the same thing: They support him because he usually delivers, but they don’t trust him. Maybe it’s the brand he will always wear in political circles for caucusing with Republicans while a county legislator to deliver then Erie County Executive Chris Collins a majority. Maybe it’s his cozy relationship with Ralph Lorigo and the Erie County Conservative Party, or with the two Steves, Pigeon and Casey, who used to wield considerable political power in this town before they were sidelined by criminal investigations. Maybe it’s the uncomfortable suspicion that anyone who takes in so much campaign cash must be selling something. The political machines all work for Kennedy, but this seems a good year to jam a wrench in the works, to throw a scare into those who think they own and operate the machinery. On top of that, Zachery is a solid Democrat, a woman, and an African American; this region could use more of all three in the state Senate. P
LOOKING BACKWARD: 15 PINE STREET, 1946 This unusual and stately house once stood at 15 Pine Street, at the northeast corner with Booth Alley. The house, seen here in a photograph taken by Wilbur H. Porterfield on June 2, 1946, is a mixture of Late Federal, Georgian, and “Carpenter’s Gothic” styles. The house dated back to at least, and may well have predated, 1872. By then it was in use as a boarding house with a rear workshop along the alley. In the late 19th century, a currier, railroad porter, carpenter, machinist, blacksmith, whitewasher, and other skilled laborers lived there at various times. The house could not have survived much long after 1959, when bulldozers began ripping a path through the Ellicott District Redevelopment Area. - THE PUBLIC STAFF

Carlos Cardona.
IMMIGRANT ACTIVIST ARRESTED, DETAINED BY BORDER PATROL BY AARON LOWINGER LAST WEEK, A Genesee County dairy worker and organizer within the movement to extend state-issued driver licenses to non-citizens was arrested for driving without a license and subsequently handed over to Border Patrol and detained in the Buffalo Federal Detention Center in Batavia, NY.
The irony of Cardona’s arrest has sent ripples throughout his community, and the community of organizers and activists statewide that have been rallying state government for years to follow the lead of twelve other states that don’t require citizenship for driver licenses. “This is a Rosa Parks moment,” Buffalo-based organizer Jennifer Connor wrote in an email to supporters. “Freedom of movement is a right that everyone should have.” A native of Guatemala, Carlos Cardona has been living with family in the United States for 10 years and had help start Alianza Agricola, a coalition of migrant dairy and other agricultural workers that has formed to seek basic rights. Cardona visited Buffalo earlier in the year to attend an advocacy event at a local bookstore. The day of his arrest, Cardona was out of the home to gather supplies for his daughter’s third birthday, according to his supporters. “Our daughter misses her daddy, she is crying because she hasn’t seen him,” Cardona’s wife was quoted in a press release. “She doesn’t understand what is happening. She thinks her father went to the store to go buy her birthday cake. So she keeps asking why he isn’t back yet?” Cardona was detained after being pulled over in Attica on August 30 in what Carly Fox of the Workers Justice Center of New York described to The Public as a speed trap. Under Trumpera immigration policies, there is no path to administratively close such offenses. The immigration system and its resources are now focused on deportations, Fox said. In a 2017 New York Times article, the work of Cardona and the work of the Green Light NY: Driving Together initiative is highlighted. Cardona told the Times of a time where he drove a car to get medication for his infant daughter who had spiked a fever. “I know we are in another country that is not our own, and I don’t like breaking the law,” he told the Times through an interpreter. “But when it comes to my family, I have to take risks.” Supporters and friends came up with $10,000 to bail out Cardona on Tuesday. “The community came together,” Fox told The Public. “People really care about him and his family.” A
GoFundMe to support his family has raised over $5,000 in five days, but his friends and supporters say more is needed for upcoming legal fees. In the aftermath of Cardona’s arrest, organizers trained their sights on Governor Cuomo, an outspoken critic of President Trump’s immigration policies, to put his pen where his mouth is. “Today I want to raise my voice on behalf of all workers who are in the shadows and not recognized despite our role as the backbone of agriculture in New York,” Luis Jimenez, an Alianza Agricola member said. “I want to ask Governor Cuomo, who so many times has said that he wants to protect the immigrants, that at this moment establish state policies that are just and that protect the immigrant. We are angry and feel betrayed by him because he has done nothing to help keep our families together. I ask that you recognize our rights and make this state, a state of immigrants where the Statue of Liberty is, a place where we are granted the same freedoms as others.”

A bill, co-sponsored by Buffalo’s Crystal Peoples-Stokes, to change the state’s law is currently stalled in the Assembly, with a path to approval blocked by a State Senate that is narrowly controlled by a Republican majority who don’t favor such legislation. In 2002, then-Governor Pataki enacted the current requirement of a social security number to receive a driver license into law. “We are pushing for Cuomo to take action immediately,” Fox said. Supporters of the legislation point to the economic benefit beyond the human one that such a bill would usher in. Based on estimated figures on the number of undocumented New Yorkers, the bill would garner $57 million annually for public coffers in the form of registration fees, sales and gas taxes. The move would also bolster public transportation funds, lower car insurance costs statewide as more drivers sign up for policies, and stabilize the state’s agriculture. According to Farm Credit East, a bank that specializes in agricultural products, the loss of undocumented and migrant workers would slash the state’s agricultural production by 24 percent, to the tune of $1.37 billion. Cardona and his supporters are currently working on assembling a defense in upcoming Immigration Court proceedings that will take P place in either Buffalo or Batavia.

ART REVIEW Polls by various national polling organizations using various survey methods—telephone interviews and interrogations, fill out and hand in or mail in forms—show significant majorities of citizens and voters want gun regulation and control versus the preposterous status quo. But somehow they don’t get that. The Smith and Beatty project constitutes a different kind of poll, one that requires a more actual, tangible response than merely answering phone questions or filling out forms. Not sending back your gun part equates to one less gun in the world. The Smith and Beatty project materials are now part of the Burchfield Penney collection and holdings. They were previously owned by local artists Gary Nickard and Patty Wallace, who donated the materials to the gallery. But not likely the Burchfield Penney will be sending the gun part back to Smith and Beatty to reassemble into a functional gun. (Which probably won’t bother the Glock people, who are basically only interested in making and selling guns—maybe now they can make and sell one more. Or the NRA, which seems basically only interested—despite propaganda about other more creditable objectives—in keeping the gun manufacturers that support them productive and happy.)

ENOUGH KILLING! BY JACK FORAN
A GROUP SHOW AT THE BURCHFIELD PENNEY OFFERS A COUNTERPOINT COMMENTARY TO THE PREVALENT CULTURE OF VIOLENCE IN A TIME of madness—when just about anybody can possess an assault rifle of the type that has been used again and again in mass murders of schoolchildren, and conspiracy purveyors with large audiences on the internet aver such tragic events never happened, but that the murdered schoolkids’ deaths were faked somehow—the Burchfield Penney gallery has a counter-current exhibit called Enough Killing!
The most intriguing work in the show is by the collaborative artist team of Craig Smith and Colin Beatty. It involves an authentic Glock nine-millimeter-caliber handgun, or component part of one. Intriguing in its conceptual complexity and due to the core ambivalence quality of the work. As to just what the artists are trying to say or do with the work. Or for that matter what side they are on in the rancorous controversy about the flood tide of

guns in the nation—arguably related to the high number of mass murders, but also of killings that might not have happened except that there was a situation and a gun was handy and somebody decided to use it, and gun accidents, and gun suicides. The Smith and Beatty exhibit consists of a little hard plastic Glock carrying case and one of the 33 total component parts of a Glock, if you completely disassembled one. What the team has done is just that—disassembled one—and mailed the 33 parts, one each, to 33 different now shareholders in the artistic project, and part owners of the Glock (thinking of the number of shareholders plus originating artists now as a kind of corporate entity, of which the originating artists would constitute something like board of directors). With instructions to the shareholders that at some point they will be requested to return their Glock part back to the originating artists for reassembly of the gun into functioning condition. Or not. “It is the discretion of each share holder to determine if the corporate objective— gun reassembly—is aligned with their own. And it is a collective response that is required for all parts to be returned in order to produce a fully functioning handgun.”

THE PUBLIC / SEPTEMBER 6 - 11, 2018 / DAILYPUBLIC.COM
Among other works in the exhibit, two by Nickard are Ireland photos—one about more or less recent events in the North euphemistically called “The Troubles,” overlain with a poem by Paul Muldoon, another of a bent-over peat-digger, overlain with a poem by Seamus Heaney—and a painting by Wallace that in the context of the exhibit seems to be saying that intra-species conflict is a universal, every species fights and kills its own (though surely not as readily and casually as the human species). Also, Kathie Simonds’s American Classic: Our Holy Wars, a parody of Grant Wood’s famous American Gothic, with reference to the shameful Mexican War (not much on that war in the kids’ history books). Nancy Dwyer’s patriotism skepticism depiction of a version of the American flag with stencil cutout legend “Out Of My Mind.” A Roycroft shops printed and framed sententious claptrap aphoristic item by Elbert Hubbard. A quasi-full-scale wood and plaster guillotine by Rich Tomasello. And accessories, such as a meat counter take-a-number dispenser. Be patient. You’ll have your turn. And the exhibit centerpiece, an enormous globe of actual copper and brass bullets, suspended from a steel girders framework, entitled Death Star, by Robert Longo. Exhibits flow into one another. A recently concluded but still memorable Burchfield Penney exhibit of writings and photos of poets and photographers Thomas Merton and Robert Lax included a prose poem by Merton on the creation and deployment of the atomic bomb detonated on the city of Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. The Longo work is reminiscent of nothing so much as the spherical prototype atomic bomb detonated at the Trinity site in the New Mexico desert, July 16, 1945, three weeks before the Hiroshima devastation. The Enough Killing! exhibit continues through October 28.

PETER MULVEY THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6 7PM / 9TH WARD, 341 DELAWARE AVE. / $15-$17 [FOLK] Though Peter Mulvey is based in Milwaukee, his career is often associated with the neo-folk
singer/songwriter revival experienced in Boston during the mid-1990s. His brand of acoustic wit and activist wisdom, combined with a tuneful rasp and a knack for percussive guitar playing, put

him on the map at a time when some of the more pop-leaning folkies were having chart success. And while that might not be part of his story, it was a good time to be a rising coffeehouse favorite.

Mulvey became proficient at busking. Over the last 15 years, he’s diversified his career, exploring Youth Science Camp (geared for high school graduates) resulted in a spoken-word piece, “Vlad the Astrophysicist,” which has gone on to become a TEDx talk and an illustrated book. This September

During the Kickstarter campaign for the album, Mulvey wrote, “I have been launching little paper boats of whatever art, wit, beauty and tenderness I can muster onto the waters of this life for a long time, and I work to keep the faith that they make a difference.” Indeed they do: Playing over 100 shows annually for 25 years, he still draws people in, which isn’t a given—he must be doing something right.

[COMEDY] Creative Swiss Army knife and general impresario Mary Houlihan is making a special appearance at Sugar City this Friday. A frequent guest on The Best Show With Tom Scharpling, Houlihan has appeared on The Chris Gethard Show, Difficult People, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Billy on the Street, and Harmontown. Her comedy writing has been featured in the New Yorker and Reductress. She created, wrote, animated, and starred in the Comedy Central web series Learn To Paint! With Mary Houlihan. Houlihan will be bringing her one-woman show to the allages West Side haunt, detailing her “rise from street tough to America’s sweetheart, and how it almost all came undone by her tumultuous years-long relationship with Jack Nicholson.” -AL
Comedy Comes to Hertel Ave 8pm Revolution Gallery, 1419 Hertel Ave. $10
[COMEDY] The latest installment in this ongoing series at Hertel Avenue's Revolution Gallery features headliner Matt Bergmen. A celebrated comic from the D.C. area, Bergman put his criminal justice degree aside in order to pursue his standup career and has since become a college-circuit favorite. Along the way, he's released an album and a DVD with some help from Goo Goo Doll Robby Takacs and fellow comic James Kurdziel. On the bill with him for Thursday, September 6's showcase at Revolution are local comediennes Allie Brady and Kaitlynd Brzostowicz, plus the whole shebang is hosted by funny man Phil Machemer of Revolver Records. This is bound to be some good laughs. -CJT
T. J. Miller 8pm Helium Comedy Club, 30 Mississippi St. $25-$30
[COMEDY] Fans will recognize T. J. Miller from the hit HBO show Silicon Valley, but those who don’t watch the show will probably still recognize Miller from his many public controversies. The 37-year-old comedian is currently under investigation for falsely reporting a bomb threat on an Amtrak train earlier this year, and earlier this summer he was accused by former Silicon Valley co-star Alice Wetterlund of bullying her while on the set of the show. Miller left Silicon Valley after four seasons. Since then, the comedian from Denver, who made his acting debut in the film Cloverfield, has appeared in movies such as The Emoji Movie, Ready Player One, and Deadpool 2. Miller will perform five shows at Buffalo’s Helium Comedy Club, this Thursday, September 6 through Saturday, September 8. -CP

[POP] What do you do when you're barely 22 with a net worth of more than $40 million and the boy band you sing in goes on hiatus? You launch a solo career, of course. And for Ireland's Niall Horan, also a member of One Direction, it seems to be paying off. Now almost 25, Horan's album for Capitol, Flicker, has fared better in other countries than in the US, but his singles—"This Town," "Slow Hands," "Too Much to Ask"—have all sold gold or multi-platinum (500,000 or over 1,000,000 copies/downloads) here according to RIAA figures, making him a huge pop star in his own right. Horan credits influences like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, and Michael Buble for his approach to music, which is on the folksier side of pop. He's also an avid follower of golf, cricket, and rugby. Fellow country-pop young'un Maren Morris will open Horan's show at Darien Lake on Friday, September 7. -CJT

[HIP HOP] Wu-Tang Clan co-founding member U-God comes to Buffalo for a show at Buffalo Iron Works on Thursday, September 6. The Brooklyn-based rapper is not necessarily the most celebrated member of the legendary rap group, which includes RZA, GZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killer, and other still active members, but the 47-year-old rapper has had his moments. He grabbed the attention of fans on the group’s debut single “Protect Ya Neck,” as the first member of the band to introduce the Shaolin trope that became a theme for the rap group throughout their career. The rapper has appeared on all of Wu Tang Clan’s major releases and has released a number of solo albums, most notably his solo debut, Golden Arms Redemption, which was released in 1999. His latest, Venom, was released earlier this year and features Wu Tang’s Raekwon, Method Man, and Inspectah Deck. CORY PERLA

see it all. That means you must make choices. With nearly 1,000 musicians, artists, and DJs spread across something like 22 stages, you’ll want to plan at least some of your day out if you’re planning on heading to the festival this weekend. Spontaneity is good too, but don’t miss out the stuff you know you want to see. And for that reason, we’ll give you a tip: You can find a link to a massive Google Docs schedule on the Music is Art Facebook event page that breaks everything down in an easy-to-navigate, color-coded document. For those who don’t know, Music is Art is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2003 by Robby Takac, bassist of Goo Goo Dolls.

7PM / DNIPRO UKRAINIAN CULTURAL CENTER, 562 GENESEE ST / $25-$35 [HIP HOP] Buffalo native and Shady Records artist Conway will return to
his hometown for a concert this weekend. The Griselda Records founder and his brother, rapper Westside Gunn, were signed to Shady Records—the record label founded by Eminem in 1999 with backing from Interscope—in early 2017 in the wake of Westside Gunn’s successful debut album Flygod on which Conway was featured alongside artists like Danny Brown and Action Bronson. Conway will be joined by another recent Shady Records roster addition, Boogie, the Compton-based rapper who grabbed the attention of Eminem and Shady Records after the release of his 2015 mixtape The Reach. Presented by Haute La Vie, the show will also feature local acts Chase Cobbina, Ooze Gang, and Good Neighbors Club. Co-hosts DJ Milk and WBLK’s Jay Steel will also be on hand and artist Mark Madden will present an art installation inspired by Conway titled “The Machine Room.” The show, dubbed the Anti Venue Tour, happens this Saturday, September 8 at the Dnipro Ukrainian Cultural Center. -CORY PERLA

MT JOY TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11 8PM / TRALF MUSIC HALL, 622 MAIN ST. / $15 [ROCK] Folk rock band Mt Joy comes to Buffalo for a show at the Tralf
Music Hall on Tuesday, September 11. Earlier this year, the fivepiece band released their latest album, a 13-track, self-titled record that moves through poppy folk rock on songs like their single, “Astrovan.” The song made a splash after being featured on a Spotify-curated playlist, demonstrating once again the power of the playlist. Following their Spotify bump, the band booked some shows with a few likeminded folk rock bands including the Head and the Heart, the Lone Bellow, and Neko Case before hitting festivals like Bonnaroo and SXSW. Now, with the release of their next single, “Silver Lining,” it seems as if they’re poised

Greg Kihn and John Ford Coley
8pm Riviera Theatre, 67 Webster Street $26-$34
[ROCK] A perfect example of how hard work can pay off, Greg Kihn spent the height of his career—in the early-mid 1980s—as an opening act for Journey, the Rolling Stones, and even the Grateful Dead. Though mostly known for "The Breakup
P
Song (They Don’t Write 'Em)" in 1981 and "Jeopardy" (1983, made into an even bigger hit when he let Weird Al do a parody), Kihn's relentless touring back then earned him enough of an audience to come back out on the road now—he's at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda on Saturday, September 8. Along the way, he's been a high-profile radio personality in the Bay Area and has published a breadth of short stories. Joining him on Saturday is John Ford Coley, best known for his 1970s duo with England Dan and the resulting soft-rock fave, "I'd Really Love to P See You Tonight." - CJT
SPOTLIGHT FOOD lengths of rib meat are placed on the gleaming tines. This seasoned griller muses furtively as he hovers over the grill, hoping to bring down “the burn.” He closes the lid and opens another beer, sticks it in the cozy. Swannie Jim’s grill lid is held down with a cinder block and seems almost invisible behind the growing crowd of guests now deploying chairs, a round of eager eaters drinking their various beers. Jim sits back in his lawn chair, smoking and chatting, unfazed by the competitive scene, where memories of grilled meat eating are pursed on all lips. He is content to underplay his grilling celebrity, while Kenn gives a solemn, sacred anointment to the meat and greet. The pile of empties will mount as we move further into the shade of Jim’s hut. More folks arrive—curious bike riders and kayakers. By late afternoon, the cases of beer, the sides of salad, chips and dips have been nearly depleted—the graze-by of snacks on the folding tables is left to crumbs. The last arrivals have plucked the few remaining sunbleached chairs from the overgrown patch of vines, trying to reclaim every vestige of human industry.

THAT’S THE RUB BY J. TIM RAYMOND
AT SILO CITY, A SECRET BARBEQUE COOKOFF BETWEEN TWO GRIZZLED VETERANS EARLIER THIS SUMMER BEGETS A REMATCH IN WHAT MIGHT first appear to be an isolated
outpost on a demilitarized zone, minus the .60 caliber and sandbags, we pull up to a dusty halt. As we begin to unload our grilling gear, we scan the scene—a wide open, grassy gravel plain ringed by long-dormant towering grain elevators. A dog barks. We squint in the fryingpan heat of early afternoon of this bleakly silent, spooky place. Suddenly, a percussive echo fills our ears. Waves of syncopated patterns bulge out of cloistered hollows. The towers act as huge, pulsing amplifiers as the sound breaks over us and the gravel beneath our feet rattles. We stare at each other in mute fascination. Then, silence abruptly returns as two gaunt, bearded figures emerge from the dark, mouthlike door of the far tower carrying drum cases and recording equipment back to their vehicles. We return to setting up the grill. The placement of the bed of charcoal is a fine point in barbeque and a distinctively individual choice between these two gentle grill masters: Kenn “Pops” Morgan and “Swannie” Jim Watkins. We have been invited to this secret preliminary bout of a time-honored competition in the grilling of porcine flesh. Swannie Jim appears and greets us. Deeply tanned and indeterminate in years,
he wears the clothes of a working machinist, specked with oil and grime. Long-bearded and a Camel smoker, he is the designated steward, caretaker, and security guard of this grain mill park known to the cultural community as Silo City. Sited at the curving of Buffalo’s Ships Canal, it lies at the edge of a decaying factory landscape, gradually returning to a jungle-like state with weeds and thickets growing up over giant plastic tubs and rusting cables—even over the cinderblock machine shop that Jim calls home. Jim has fired up his chimney-throated grilling barrel before we arrive. It shimmers in the growing heat of this secret feasting Father’s Day. Kenn’s grill is brand new and cobalt blue, bought special to inaugurate the grilling season. Kenn is superstitious and wears his grilling pants—now elephantine due to post heart surgery weight loss—held up by thick suspenders. His ancient khaki shirt is dominated by a well-worn chest pocket nesting his archival notepad. Somehow, the secret, very privileged, “hush hush” barbeque cookout has been leaked to others in the meat-hungry cognoscente. Kenn rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He tends his grill with sidelong glances across the yard at his chainsmoking competition. Clutching his PBR lovingly held in a fraying beer cozy, Kenn’s casual air belies growing consternation. His charcoal bed is still too hot for the meat. The special marinade in its masking-taped pot must wait until the grill heat is reduced and footlong
At last, Kenn’s grill burn has been deemed satisfactory. He tips back his new straw hat. The meat is placed. The secreti rub with its well-aged baster is released from its taped pot and expertly dabbed so that each granular deposit of sauce catches the glistening heat of the glowing coals. We stroll to the river as we wait—paddleboarders and kayaks glide by. A lemonade-like stand perches at the edge of the clean, sandy patch leading to a sunblazed aluminum dock. A zinc-nosed girl in far too few clothes for having no umbrella stands at her post renting sun-fun accessories. The kids are restless. The adults move their chairs closer together. They play with Jim’s pit bull, Gonzo, who is leashed and barking up the dust as cars of the curious turn 180s in the gravel road, trying to get a look at the scene. We wait no more! The gossamer deliverance of meat appears ready to eat. The glorious center of gustatorial awe is brought out in two aluminum gunboats and placed securely on the white plastic tables before the gaping guests. Kenn’s sizzles in sliced quadrants of spicy mahogany brown—the bones glisten in the redolent sauce. It meets the teeth with a promising kiss of succulent satisfaction, deliciously sticking to thumbs and forefingers.
Swannie Jim’s last cigarette is stamped into the earth. He sits leaning forward now and stares out at the munching, sweaty throng, each settled back with their chosen morsel. Sweet and hot finger-length cuts glisten with a deep rust finish, spiced with Jim’s famous Carolina mustard—a savor-oozing moist with no grease. The meat melts at the touch of the trembling teeth. The buzz of conversation has long died down, but the line of the hungry twice surges to the grillers’ table, returning to their seats with a sigh or occasional guttural hum. A contemplative aura settles over the now-late sun-dappled scene. The grills are cooling. Children strain on tiptoe to reach the the near-empty pork rib pans to wipe them clean with spoons and fingers. There is satiation all around, but before everyone stumbles back to their vehicles, Jim and Kenn nod at each other, rise and call for the vote. A child is sent forth with a bowl of paper squares and a handful of merch-branded ballpoint pens. We assemble in our sated bliss to mark a “1” or a “2,”our choice of competing grillers meet. It is a seriously meditative task as each “barbequeist” is a consummate artist of carnivore cuisine. The voted is totaled—Swannie Jim wins. There are still a few beers in the machine shop frig. It is down to we last five—Jim and Kenn, shaking hands, have moved to consensus and relocated their chairs for the post-mortem. At long last, in leisure, the fine points of this grilling expedition are discussed with relaxed expertise. Once cold, we pack up the baptismal grill and folding tables. We toss our empties on the singular stack of mounting beer cans, shake hands, and look forward to be announcement of the formal rematch later this summer. Swannie Jim and Gonzo stand silhouetted in the cast shadows of the grain elevator as we drive back down the dusty access road, back into real time. The first 25 arrivals get “taste tickets” for a free drawing—only five winners to be drawn at the event will be tasters and judges of the winning ribs. Feel free, however, to bring your own meat and challenge the grill masters, Watkins and Morgan. There will be color prints of artist John Farallo’s Grill Masters Dream for sale. Silo City’s new restaurant, Duende, will also be open. Bring your own chair, beverages, P and sides.

FILM REVIEW
AVAILABLE NOW FROM THE PUBLIC BOOKS AND FOUNDLINGS PRESS:
WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH RUST Essays by Bruce Fisher about Rust Belt economies, environments, and politics. Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Thierry in Memoir of War.
THEY ALSO SERVE MEMOIR OF WAR BY M. FAUST IN 1985, THE French writer and filmmaker
Marguerite Duras published La Douleur (Pain), a hybrid fictional autobiography about her experiences under the Nazi occupation during World War II. She said that the work was adapted from diaries she wrote at that time that which she could not remember writing, though she recognized the places and events in them. Reading them when she rediscovered them, she said, brought “A phenomenal chaos of thought and feeling…that I dare not amend.” Should we believe that? Perhaps, though it’s just as likely that Duras, whose work often sought to erase traditional ideas about identity and memory, created it as an excuse to blur the lines about “facts” in order to arrive at a greater truth about human experience under traumatic circumstances. Given that objective, Emmanuel Finkiel’s film adapted from a portion of her book, Memoir of War, is close to a masterpiece.
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. —Catherine Tumber, Senior Research Associate with Northeastern University’s School of Public
Mélanie Thierry plays the author, identified only by her first name, in 1944 and 1945. She held an office job with the Vichy government while working with the French Resistance along with her husband, the writer Robert Antelme, who was arrested and sent to Buchenwald. The first section of the film deals with Marguerite’s attempts to get information about her husband’s location and condition. This leads her to Rabier (Benoit Magimel), a highly placed collaborator and self-defined aesthete. Impressed by the fact that she has already begun to develop a literary reputation, he tries to place himself as her benefactor, offering vague but hopeful information about Antelme during
regular meetings. After the Nazis retreat from Paris and it becomes clear that they will lose the war, Marguerite is left to the agonizing task of waiting. She torments herself with reports of prisoners slaughtered en masse well as the potentially worse things Antelme might be suffering if he is still alive. Even though the second half of the film is nearly plotless, it is the most gripping. Thierry’s stoic performance and Finkiel’s evocation of atmosphere envelop the viewer in a fever dream of dread. Compounding this is the ambiguous nature of Marguerite’s relation to her husband— there are none of the expected flashbacks to happier times, and it is possible that her fear is comprised partly of guilt, whether for the miscarriage of their only child or her infidelity. For contrast, a more conventional and intensely moving portrait of a grieving mother is provided by Shulamit Adar as Mrs. Katz, a Jewish neighbor whose crippled daughter was taken by the Nazis. My one reservation about the movie, that some aspects are less ambiguous than merely confusing, may be due to the fact that I watched it on a streaming link: I would expect subtle details to be clearer on the big screen. With its lack of music helping create an oppressive atmosphere, Memoir of War at its best reminded me of two other great French films about women going mad, Polanski’s Repulsion and Truffaut’s The Story of Adele H. It opens this week at the North Park Theater, where it will share the screen with a return booking of Mark Sopano’s documentary Sicily: Land of Love and Strife. P

Forrest Goodluck, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Sasha Lane in The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
CRUSHING YOUNG SPIRITS IN THE NAME OF GOD THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST BY GEORGE SAX LAST JANUARY, THE Erie County Legislature
passed a law seriously restricting the operation of so-called conversion therapy programs in Erie County. Practitioners in these programs claim to be able to “convert” people from gay to straight. Long regarded skeptically and often repudiated by medical and psychological specialists and their professional associations, this therapy has often been sponsored or inspired by religious groups with anti-gay messages. The legislature’s bill, sponsored by South Buffalo Democrat Patrick Burke, prohibits the use of conversion therapy for young people below the age of eighteen. Desiree Arkhaven’s The Miseducation of Cameron Post provides a disturbing yet vaguely hopeful dramatization of some reasons for this legislation. Adapted by Arkhaven and Cecilia Frugiuele from Emily M. Danforth’s 2011 young adult novel, the movie depicts the aggressively manipulated, psychologically corrosive experience of Cameron Post (Chloe Grace Moretz), a teen girl consigned to a residential conversion facility by her family. God’s Promise is set in bucolically splendid isolation, housed in welcoming Swiss-chaletstyle buildings. Cameron’s been sent there by her aunt—she’s an orphan—after being discovered on prom night in the back of a car in a compromising situation with another girl. God’s Promise is co-run by Reverend Rick ( John Gallagher, Jr.), himself a “cured” gay man who greets Cameron with a warm smile, reassuring words, and a search of her handbag for inappropriate worldly objects. As written, and in Gallagher’s sensitive performance, Rich is a sincere man who’s probably not quite unaware of a suppressed but sometimes nagging residual sin. He presents himself as a regular guy who can enjoy a Mel Brooks movie gag fest even as he seeks to guide his charges to the same kind of victory over sin. For sin is how gay identity is defined at God’s Promise, no bones about it. Rick’s sister and codirector Lydia Marsh ( Jennifer Ehle), tells a small group of youngsters, “There’s no homosexuality,

just the same struggle with sin we all face.” Ehle’s Marsh, with her thin-lipped smile, disturbingly focused eyes and even-toned disciplinary comments, is a sort of bad cop to Rick’s more genial approach. There’s some subtlety here, but there’s a hint of Ken Kesey’s Nurse Ratched in this portrayal. The movie leaves the interpersonal sibling dynamic unexamined, but near the end, after an extremely traumatizing crisis at the school, Rick is shown in an external long shot, sitting alone in the dining hall at breakfast, and it’s easy to read disquietude into this static visual depiction. The titular protagonist is a bit of a cipher in the movie’s first half, when Cameron seems passively accepting and unformed, but Moretz and Arkhaven make her more questioning and even quietly defiant as time passes. Her growth is instigated and aided by her growing bonds with two more rebellious souls: Adam (Forest Goodluck), a Dakota Sioux boy whose Christian-convert father finds it inconvenient to have a gay son, and Jane (Sasha Lane), an amputee (from a car crash) with a needling irony that seems a little out of place in this setting. These two grow and smoke grass in the woods, in which activities Cameron joins them. This will lead to a somewhat ambiguous liberation.

Arkhaven has directed with a subdued dramatic sense, maybe a little too subdued for the suddenly heightened drama of the scene in which that traumatic event begins. Arkhaven has said she admires John Hughes’ teen comedies and aspired to capture some of his aesthetic, but her film has more in common with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and the 2001 Manic with Joseph Gordon Levitt’s young character confined to a prison hospital. This movie also shows the severe compression and scuttling of material that were necessary. (The novel covers eight years, the movie several months.) But Miseducation does well enough in conveying its humane point-of-view in an involving, nonP polemical style.
